Boston College became bowl-eligible by improving to 6-4 with a comfortable home win over N.C. State (3-7) at Alumni Stadium in which it never trailed. As has often been the case this season, the Eagles got the job done with their run game, gaining 420 rushing yards while the defense held the Wolfpack to just 35 yards on the ground.
BC took the lead with a 25-yard field goal by kicker Nate Freese, then added to that when running back Andre Williams scored on a 17-yard touchdown run, capping off a 10-play, 72-yard drive for a 10-0 edge. N.C. State got on the board in the second quarter, with a nine-yard TD pass from quarterback Pete Thomas to wide receiver Rashard Smith, but RB Myles Willis responded for the Eagles with a 19-yard score of his own. Late in the quarter, Williams lost a fumble on his own 24-yard line, but the Wolfpack couldn't capitalize as they botched the snap on a late FG attempt, and the score remained 17-7 at halftime.
In the third quarter, Freese's second FG, from 39 yards, widened the gap to 13 points. In the fourth, a well-executed reverse play by the Wolfpack resulted in Smith hitting fellow WR Quintin Payton for a 49-yard TD, but the Eagles once again bounced right back. Williams broke out on a 65-yard run and was stripped just before crossing the goal line, but WR Alex Amidon recovered the ball in the end zone for the TD. QB Chase Rettig then took the ball in himself for the two-point conversion. On the next drive, defensive lineman Jaryd Rudolph strip-sacked Thomas, and four plays later Freese kicked a 41-yard FG. N.C. State's backup QB, Garrett Leatham, scored on a 52-yard pass to WR Jumichael Ramos, but BC recovered the onside kick and Williams added a 34-yard TD run for insurance.
Williams set an Atlantic Coast Conference single-game record with 339 rushing yards and two TDs, prompting Rettig and head coach Steve Addazio to call him a Heisman candidate after the game. For the Wolfpack, Thomas had 207 yards on 22-of-33 passing attempts with one score, and Ramos had 109 yards on five catches.
In Addazio's first year at the helm, Boston College has returned to bowl eligibility, already winning as many games as it did in the previous two seasons combined. At 3-3 in ACC play, the Eagles are in third place in the Atlantic Division, four games behind #2 Florida State.
Next Eagles game: November 23 @ Maryland (6-4), 3:30 pm ET
UMass put up a fight in a very tight loss to Akron (4-7) at Gillette Stadium. As the score suggests, the defense nearly made up for the lack of offensive power, holding the Zips to 1-for-13 on third downs and forcing turnovers on each of Akron's first three drives.
The Minutemen's first fumble recovery came on the first play from scrimmage, when running back Jawon Chisholm was stripped after a 15-yard reception, with the defense recovering at the UMass 38-yard line. On the Zips' next drive, Chisholm again lost the ball, this time at his own 39, after a 24-yard run. On the ensuing drive, Massachusetts failed to gain a first down on 4th-and-1 and again came up empty. On their third possession, the Zips managed to put together six plays before coughing the ball up, and UMass finally got on the board in the final minute of the first quarter, when kicker Brendon Levengood hit a 37-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.
On the ensuing drive, Akron quarterback Kyle Pohl completed three straight passes to get his team into the red zone, then ran the ball in from 10 yards for the touchdown, but Levengood responded with a 33-yard FG to keep it close. Late in the second quarter, QB A. J. Doyle was picked off by cornerback Malachi Freeman at the UMass 40, but the defense kept Akron from advancing and the Minutemen went to the half trailing 7-6.
In the third period, with Mike Wegzyn now under center, UMass gained 91 yards on nine plays, capping the drive off with a two-yard TD pass from Wegzyn to tight end Rob Blanchflower. After the defense forced a three-and-out, Wegzyn threw an interception of his own, to safety Anthony Holmes, who returned it 22 yards to the Minutemen's 35. The defense again held fast, and UMass led 13-7 after three.
It was early in the fourth quarter that Akron put together a 10-play, 63-yard drive that ended with Pohl finding Chisholm for the go-ahead 17-yard TD pass. After a turnover on downs, the Zips again reached the red zone, where a key penalty on fourth down allowed them to run out the clock.
Pohl completed 20 of 33 passes for 208 yards and a TD in the Zips' victory. The loss dropped Massachusetts to 1-9 on the season, 1-5 in the Mid-American Conference, with little chance of winning either of its last two games on the road. The Minutemen are in sixth place in the East Divison, four games behind Bowling Green and Buffalo.
Next Minutemen game: November 23 @ Central Michigan (4-6), 1 pm ET

24. 04. 2008 - Czech Airlines to Initiate Service between Prague and Almaty
Prague, 24 April 2008
On 1 May, Czech Airlines will link Prague to the largest Kazakh city, Almaty (formerly Alma-Ata). Czech Airlines will operate service on this route twice weekly. The new service to Almaty will be the longest of all Czech Airlines medium-haul flights. The Prague - Almaty flight takes seven hours and Czech Airlines will operate it with its most modern Airbus A319 aircraft.
The departure times will suit businessmen from Western Europe, who can use it for business travel via Prague to Kazakhstan, as well as the tourist clientele. "Almaty is another point in the Czech Airlines network in the former Soviet Union. Czech Airlines has thus far not offered any connection to Kazakhstan or the area in general," said Czech Airlines' Vice President for Marketing and Product Development, Petr Pištělák, in commenting on the new route. Aside from the planned route from Prague to Almaty, the closest points in the Czech Airlines network are the Russian cities of Yekaterinburg and Samara. "For passengers from Kazakhstan, this new connection will open up a direct route to Prague, as well as the opportunity to transfer to the network of connecting Czech Airlines flights, primarily in Western Europe, but also to North America," said Petr Pištělák.
The flight schedule of the new service
An Airbus A319 will depart from Prague for Almaty every Monday and Thursday at 10:25 p.m., landing in Almaty, after a seven-hour flight, at 8:45 local time the next morning (due to the time-zone change). The aircraft will set out again on the return trip to Prague at 10:45 a.m., landing at 1:40 p.m. The in-flight services will be adapted to the length of the flight. Passengers in both Economy and Business Class will be served one warm and one cold meal. With the warm meal, they will have a choice of two offers. Naturally, a broad selection of hot and cold beverages will be offered, as well as in-flight newspapers and magazines and a luxury duty-free goods purchase option.
In addition to the new service to Almaty, Czech Airlines also started flying to Strasbourg, France. Today, for the first time, the two new flights to Tbilisi and Rostov-on-Don will take off. Another innovation will be a connection to Damascus in Syria, which Czech Airlines is renewing as of 30 April. On 30 May, the Airline will start regular flights to Heraklion in Crete. During the summer schedule season, Czech Airlines offers connections to 135 destinations in 48 countries.
Almaty (formerly Alma-Ata), with 1.2 million inhabitants, is the largest Kazakh city. Until December 1997, it was the country's capital, which was then moved to Astana. It is in the southeast part of Kazakhstan, near the Kyrgyzstan border, at the foot of the Tian Shan mountain range. The city was established in 1854.

Review - Far Cry 3 (Single Player)

Why can't all delayed games turn out like this?

"Holy fuck! This is awesome"
Those are the words spoken by Far Cry 3 protagonist Jason Brody as he enjoys the splendour of a flamethrower for the first time, and it's quite an apt way to open our review of the game's single player mode, because, goddamn it IS awesome.
There's quite a divide among gamers when it comes to the previous Far Cry titles; some love them, some hate them. We've tended to find ourselves in the somewhere in the middle, neither fawning over the open world layouts and reasonably wrought narrative nor complaining about the flaws and issues that found their way into the titles. Far Cry 3 has very much changed that for us however, and a new love affair is blossoming.
Today's gamers are most definitely suffering from first person shooter burnout. Every time you turn around there's another FPS hitting shelves, most of the time with little to differentiate it from the swathes of other titles available, but occasionally something crops up that threatens to change the status quo by offering so much more, both in terms of scope and gaming intelligence, that you have to sit back and appreciate it in all its glory.
Far Cry 3's single player campaign is absolutely huge. Like, it's actually incredible how big it is and how much there is to do within the game world, from hang gliding to Jet Ski racing to hunting to mixing herbal remedies. Christ, we could go on all day. It's just bloody well massive, let's leave it at that for now.
Where most FPS titles tend to fall down is in single player narrative. Usually it's just enough to slap a seasoned combatant in the middle of a fire fight, provide some vague world-ending threat and plonk a load of guns in front of the player, but Far Cry 3 takes a far more reasoned and, dare we say it, mature approach. You play as Jason Brody, an American tourist on holiday with his brothers, girlfriend and some friends who end up being kidnapped by a batshit crazy group of pirates (no, not that type of pirates). The game's intro beautifully sets the tone, taking players on a veritable rollercoaster of emotions before we've even seen the game's title screen.
With no combat experience, and probably little real world experience, under his belt, Jason is fortunate that he can rely on the military expertise of his brother Grant to help the pair escape and set out on their way to recover the others. At least that looks to be the plan before Grant is unceremoniously taken away and Jason is left to fend for himself against insane protagonist Vaas and his group of heavily armed assholes.
The lack of experience Jason has in these matters is particularly apparent early on. Rescued from drowning following his escape from Vaas by Denis, his path to salvation, self growth and the rescue of his friends takes players on a journey of astonishing depth for a title in the genre. Initially, we're put through the basics of gameplay. Early missions are crafted specifically to teach us the ropes, from gathering various plants in order to mix medicinal syringes to hunting animals for their pelts to allow us to carry more items through to the game's skill growth tree. It's a little hackneyed, and occasionally it feels a touch tiresome, but it serves its purpose of ensuring that players are ready and able for what will follow.
Once you've gained your stripes, as it were, the game's world opens up and you're free to play however you like. Those who want to follow the story and do little else will find that things aren't quite as easy going as they might have been had they taken the time out to explore. Liberating enemy strongholds, for example, will make areas of the map much safer to explore, while removing scramblers from radio towers not only unlocks more of the map on your radar, letting you see what's around you, but also adds to the selection of free weapons you'll be able to pick up at each of the game's towns' gun stores.
It's that open ended feeling coupled with the sheer size of the map that really makes Far Cry 3 so different from literally everything else out there. It's possible to quickly run through the tutorial missions and then spend countless hours simply liberating strongholds and unscrambling radio towers to make your navigation as straightforward as possible. This approach certainly has its benefits, but it will put you in some sticky situations, and you'll often find yourself overwhelmed by enemy forces, especially when reinforcements are called in after an alarm has been raised.
Most players will likely focus on the narrative, and take advantage of their position on the map after each mission to clean up the area, which in itself prolongs the game's already mammoth play time even further. Alternatively, you could opt to spend your time seeking out all the cool shit the islands have to offer and taking part in a variety of strangely addictive side missions, races and games. Make no mistake, you could play this game from now until Far Cry 4 and still not see everything it has to offer.
Pulling it all together is the storyline. Both wonderfully written and acted, with a notable mention going to Michael Mando's sublime turn as Vaas, there's a real connection made with the player as progress is made. You will actually care what happens to your friends, not because you care about them specifically, but because of the bond you'll find yourself forging with Jason. His growth is your growth, his experiences are your experiences, and that's something that really resonated with us. Similarly, the fate of the Rakyat warriors and the islands' inhabitants will genuinely matter to you by the time you're little more than half way through the game.
We admit that some things may have been handled a little better, though. Jason's transformation from a whimpering little pussy to a no-fear Rambo style character happens a little too quickly, and with little comment passed on it. Within a few hours of him freaking out after stabbing an enemy in the throat, he's lobbing grenades and mowing down all comers with assault rifles like nobody's business. There was definitely an opportunity missed here to explore some darker emotions, but alas Ubisoft Montreal instead chose to focus elsewhere – not that we're complaining, we just thought it was shaping up to be something a little different early on.
Our fear before finally getting our hands on the finished game was that the whole thing may end up feeling a touch disjointed, as is often the case with sandbox games, but that hasn't transpired at all. No matter how caught up you get with sightseeing or non-story based distractions, the narrative will always bring you back in.
Visually, Far Cry 3 has to be commended for its colour palette; bright and cheerful during the day and dark and foreboding during the night, it offers just the right contrast, while putting the never ending stream of grey and brown corridor shooters to shame. In the peak of the afternoon the blue sky extends lavishly towards the horizon, while greens and yellows pop from the screen. At night time dark shadows add a menacing flavour to your progress, particularly when you're engaged in a stealthy battle with Vaas' goons. The weather, too, plays a big part in the aesthetic of the game. Sunny skies turn cloudy and before you know it you're in the midst of a tropical story with rain lashing down, reducing your range of vision and the wind howling past making it difficult to hear anything that might approach.
In truth, it could perhaps have looked a little smoother when it comes to certain things. There's a strange graininess to distant objects, while some textures don't look to have gotten quite the same love as others. All in all though, it's still a damn fine looking game, and given the scope of the game world it's easy to see why it's not quite as pristine as some of the more on-the-rails shooters available.
Beyond the basic FPS mechanics (which are executed particularly well, aside perhaps from the melee which can occasionally be a touch fiddly), Far Cry 3 implements many additional gameplay elements that add to the experience. The ability to whip out Jason's camera at any time in order to use its zoom to check out the location of enemies is particularly clever, and those who like to lurk in the shadows and plot their attacks will definitely get a lot of use out of that. There's also the ability to craft new loot bags and mix medicines, as we mentioned earlier, as well as plenty of vehicular shenanigans, swimming, rock throwing to create distractions and, most spectacularly, the use of animals as weapons.
While PETA may not be too impressed with this particular design choice, weaponization of the jungle and its inhabitants can potentially play a huge part in players' approaches. Sneaking into an enemy stronghold and unleashing a tiger, for example, is a fantastic way to create a sense of panic and confusion among the enemies, allowing you to pick them off one by one as they get separated from the group – if the tiger hasn't gotten to them, or you, first.
The skills available as you progress are plentiful, and regardless of your favoured play style you should be able to find ones that offer a good fit. Some of the options available include dragging dead bodies into secluded areas so as not to alert enemies, faster movement while crouched, quicker reloading, faster recovery, increasing the effectiveness of medicines and so on. With three screens in all, there's no shortage of choice, and players have the opportunity of trying most of the different types of skill out without much chance of regret due to the ample availability of skill points as they progress.
Having approached the game in several ways, we're confident enough in saying that there's something here for everyone. However the most satisfaction is definitely to be found by taking your time, carrying out the necessary recon work, and then slowly but surely setting your plans into motion. Stealth is most certainly your friend, as thoughtless running and gunning is a sure fire way to taste failure time and again. Indeed many missions require you to go undetected, forcing a certain pace onto players, but it never quite goes as far as offering you the pacifist's route – you're out to kill, and killing you will do.
Given the sheer size of Far Cry 3's campaign, it's astonishing that everything works so well. Whether you're exploring for secrets or plotting the downfall of an enemy encampment through the shrewd use of those ever convenient red barrels and some well timed headshots the whole thing plays out beautifully. There's an incredible amount to see, do and experience, and it will certainly hold your attention for far longer than any other single player shooter on the market to date, but the most astonishing thing is the fact that that's only half the game – there's an equally monstrous multiplayer face to Far Cry 3, and we're going to give you the full run-down on that next week!
Until then though, rest assured that this is a must have for its single player campaign alone. Shooter fan or not, this is an incredible experience that you really need to treat yourself to. 'Tis (almost) the season, after all!

Hoodia Water
Some claims suggest a liquid form of Hoodia Gordonii is more effective.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
HoodiaWater is a vial of liquid Hoodia Gordonii, the South African cactus extract from the Kalahari Desert that is sweeping the weight loss nation off its feet. Hoodia works as a neurotransmitter, and acts on the same receptors that register glucose levels in the bloodstream. When sufficient glucose levels are received, the brain tells the body, "I'm full," and the need for food temporarily ceases.
Hoodia can be consumed in either pill or liquid form. HoodiaWater claims that the liquid form is more easily and quickly absorbed, allowing the user to focus intake on a meal-by-meal basis.
Do You Know the Best Diet Pills of 2017?
- Hoodia is all natural and free of side effects
- Some users of Hoodia claim to have an enhanced sense of well-being
- HoodiaWater is a small vial that is easy to transport
- Popular appetite suppressant
- HoodiaWater must be taken regularly for product to work over time
- Hoodia may not help those overeaters who are triggered by emotional or environmental responses
- Hoodia is not a menu plan, and the user must still make good, healthy food choices in order for weight loss to be realized
- Virtual customer service could be more helpful
HoodiaWater does not share on its website the concentration of Hoodia in the formula. Most experts recommend a concentration of 750 mg or more for efficacy.
On a positive note, there is some talk amongst diet professionals that Hoodia is rendered ineffective when combined with other ingredients. Until this is scientifically proven, it may be most cost effective to take Hoodia on a stand-alone basis, as is presented in HoodiaWater.ADMINISTRATION
A single dropper full of the hoodia extract is added to an 8 oz. glass of water daily.DIET and NUTRITION
HoodiaWater does not offer a meal or menu program.EXERCISE
None recommended.CONCLUSION
Hoodia and HoodiaWater is not currently regulated nor is the potency required to be certified. The production of Hoodia is very limited and time-consuming, and so the product can be spendy. The buyer must use due-diligence to make sure that they are getting the maximum potency in order for the Hoodia to be effective.Common Misspellings

This is a ripoff and have been trying to cancel Hoodia Water
wow i really didnt think that this product would work i have tried many diet pills and they failed.. but with this hoodiawater i tried the free trial and i would recomend this to everyone.... i feel like i have ate a whole meal lol
PLEASE don't do this. Like everyone else who has posted comments, I agree that this is a huge SCAM! I had to call the bank and change my account number because they continued taking money out of my account...before I even received the free trial. I don't understand how people can get away with this.
This product is a complete RIP-OFF!!!!! Not only does the product not work but the phone reps gave my wife the run around for 2 months over $80. Now its just out of principle. They even went as far as suggesting that she was calling the wrong company !!! They are nothing but LOWLIFES!!!!!! Make sure you document all return paperwork or they will basically go into your account and take your money and then use the old "are you sure you have the right company?"!!!!!!!!!!!!
I order the trial size for 1.95 and later was charged 33.95 for it they took it off my husband card .They are a rip off and I don't like people that rip other people off Just to make some money.
I also experience the same thing, $4.95 for shipping and then ended up with an additional $44.00 added to my charge card. And get this, they charged me and I hadn't received the merchandise. I called my credit charge company and charged them with fraud. When i finally got the product, they sent me in addition to the pills, water and gum. I kept the pills but I didn't want the water and gum because I didn't order them. This is a scam and buyers "BEWARE".
Not only has it not slowed my cravings, it was a free trial and they charged me 29.95 for it!
I just read your reviews and I called to cancel my subscription. I just got the hoodia water today and some green tea extreme that I was only supposed to be billed for 1.95 each and when I called they said you don't get a free product only 14 days to see if you like it then you will be billed 39.95 for the time after the 14 days. If you dont call to cancel after the 30 days you will keep being billed $40 a month. They don't tell you this when you buy it. Im sending it back
I just ordered the trial yesterday, and now have found all this information out. I just want to thank you for taking the time to inform others. I called my bank to cancel my card, and found out Acai pure had also billed me without my authorization. Buyers beware!

This number appeared on my statement..CCNNTRA 888-692-8352 Supervisor's name,Corey..I pray that this will help those that does not have a contact number.Best of luke ,every body.
The same thing happen to me also.I went online and I were suppose to pay $4.95 for shipping and handling for one bottle of Acai Pure.The next day I really felt bothered in my spirit, for what I really didn't know.All of a sudden I was led to call the Bank, taken $44.85.Spoke to the Bank Rep.and they gave me 888-692-8352 # on the statement.I called the number that were below the form that I filled out.They were the one that took the credit card number..I was give a hard time..I told them to put my money back into my account.He said that he would deposit $29.95.What about the $14.90? I was given a confirmation #.Then he told me ,and don't call back.I ask him what did you say? Oh! any more questions back...RIGHT!!. I CALL 888-692-8352 .I told them what I was going through ,an he told me that the best he coul do was deposit $20.00 which was in within 3 days The bottle by it self is valved at $75.00,I feel real stupid because I was suppose to pay $4.95 but I spent $24.85 I called the Bank and told them I release my card into the wrong hand of some scam.My card was cancelled immedialty.About 14 days later I recieved a 2 month supply of AcaiPure,1 bottle of Hoodia Water and 1 pk.of hoodia gum.These two companies are working together....It's a scam yall. Those of you that still have the same card number,I advise you to cancel it..Best of luck
This is really a scam the add said pay only for S&H and you get a charge for 44..and they also include the two products that you do not want
I too agreed to pay shipping of $4.95 for a trial of Acai Pure and DID NOT order any other items. I was charged $44.85 and received two unwanted items (Zoft - Hoodia gum and Hoodiawater). For the last three days I have attempt to call Central Coast Nutraceuticals, Inc. was met with a waiting time up to 87 minutes. Their website is set up in such a way that when you click on "checkout" you don't notice the check boxes below the �??check out�?� button that are automatically check to receive the Zoft - Hoodia gum and Hoodiawater. I have also just been charged another $39.95. This company is despicable and should be put out of business!!!
Same scam as many others - agreed to $ 4.95 and was billed $ 44... for items NOT ordered. How can these companies be allowed to continue to steal from consumers AFTER all these complaints?
Print out these complaints, bring them to your bank. Change your debit card, if enough of us do this maybe we can bring these people down.

Another Consideration - Glycemic Load
Glycemic load (GL) takes the GI into account, but rather than merely indicating how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar, GL also factors in how much of that carbohydrate exists in an average serving of food.
In general, foods with a GL above 20 are considered high-GL foods; a value of 11 to 19 is considered medium, and 10 or less is considered low. Foods with a low GL almost always have a low GI. However, foods with an intermediate to high GL may have a very low or very high GI, or somewhere in between.
Diabetes - Glucose Metabolism Gone Bad
According to the American Diabetes Association, nearly 21 million U.S. adults and children suffer from diabetes, a disease characterized by inadequate glucose metabolism. With type 1 diabetes, the pancreas doesn't secrete insulin at all. As a result, glucose has no way of getting into the body's cells to be used as energy, and blood sugar levels stay high. With type 2 diabetes, the pancreas can secrete insulin, but not enough to meet your body's needs. In both cases, glucose builds up in your bloodstream, rather than reaching the body's cells.
While normal blood glucose levels range between 60-120 mg/dl, levels generally are much higher in diabetics. A diabetic's fasting blood glucose level - the amount of blood glucose that remains in the bloodstream even after not eating for eight-plus hours) - is 126 mg/dl or higher, and their two-hour blood glucose level - the amount of glucose in the bloodstream two hours after consuming a carbohydrate-rich beverage - is 200 mg/dl or higher.
Because glucose stays in the bloodstream, rather than being made available to cells, diabetics can suffer a variety of health problems, including poor circulation and blood flow. Among the worst potential complications are nerve damage, blindness, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

I have, in some of my previous reviews, been perhaps a little hard on Panasonic, and to tell you the truth I'm not entirely sure why. The company has produced some excellent cameras, such as the DMC-FX01 which I reviewed just before Christmas, as well as the models that it makes for Leica. Sure, it's turned out one or two real stinkers as well, but then I can't think of a camera company that hasn't.
So I hereby apologise if I've been unfair, and to show there's no hard feelings I'll try to be nice about this week's camera, the new Lumix DMC-TZ2. It shouldn't be too difficult, because this is definitely one of the good ones.
Announced in January along with the 7-megapixel TZ3, the DMC-TZ2 is being promoted as the ideal travel camera. It certainly has a lot going for it, with a 6-megapixel CCD, a tough all-metal body, a high resolution 2.5in monitor and a big image-stabilised 10x zoom Leica-branded lens with a focal length equivalent to 28-280mm. It is available in either silver or black. The TZ2 will go on sale in April with a recommended retail price of £269.99, but is already available for pre-order from a number of retailers at prices as low as £226.
There aren't many digital cameras on the market that can equal the TZ2's specification. The closest matches are the Ricoh Caplio R4, which has a 28-200mm stabilised lens and costs around £160, the 12x zoom Kodak EasyShare Z612 for £195, the Canon PowerShot S3 IS with its 12x zoom for around £270, or Nikon's disappointing 10x zoom twist-body S10, which is also around £270, although none of these last three have that important 28mm wide-angle setting. The TZ2 and its twin the TZ3 have the widest zoom range of any camera of their size currently on the market.
Considering the size and power of the lens the TZ2 is quite slim and sleek in appearance, although it is by no means a small camera. Measuring 105 x 59.2 x 36.7 mm and weighing a chunky 247g including card and battery it is too big and heavy to be considered pocket-sized, but then that's why we have camera pouches.
Of course all that extra bulk does mean that there's plenty there to grab hold of, and the TZ2 does have very good handling. The right-hand end of the case is sculpted into a small but comfortable handgrip, which carries round onto the back where it is joined by a small textured area for your thumb. There are only the barest minimum of controls on the back, so there's nothing to get in the way.
I bought this camera on a runout deal early in 2008 via the net for only 䀏.99. A real bargain. I had earlier taken a serious look at a TZ3 and like its intuitive menu. It felt good to handle and reassuringly solid but was considerably more expensive. having used the TZ2 thoughout 2008 I have found it to be exceptional. It takes blindly good macro shots and is equally impressive are the telephoto end. I took a great one of Big Ben clockface from ground level about 200 feet away using the full 280mm. The photo fills an A4 sheet of photo paper and the detail is absolutely stunning. A very underated camera that I'm so glad I bought. It replaces a much loved Fuji Finepix F700 that for me, after 4 years good service did not have a good enough range being only 3X optical. I briefly flirted with a Finepix S6500fd but couldn't get on with it - to bulky slow to focus and those awful AA rechargeable batteries, what a faff. Give me compact and a Li-ino battery everytime.

I love this cab firm. When I call they answer the phone with "Hello Barbara, how are you today?" When I tell them I'd like to book a cab, they tell me my address. It works every time.
I'd thought that was the height of perfection for a cab firm, but now they have exceeded expectations, as we say in our performance appraisals. They send a car which is scarily silent. When we stop at the Hampton crossroads, I think the car has stalled: there is no sound from the engine at all. And as if that wasn't enough, the driver puts on Radio 4 and we listen to the omnibus edition of the Archers all the way to the airport. Who needs a limo? This is the life.

Unless you buy new your going to want to change things and add stuff anyway once you get aboard.
Just use common sense and don't get caught up in all the hype and mystery. People have been sailing the world in boats since before written history. it's not rocket science.
I fell for the BS for over a decade from people who never left the dock scaring me w/ assumptions about sailing the east coast. I finally just did it and found out it is NOT complicated or difficult . and I could have done it years earlier with boats I already had. It could be done in a sailfish if you pick your weather !
Very true... but you really need to check your insurance policy's named storm clause, since some will REQUIRE you to be hauled out, others, will require you to be within certain geographic limits during the season... etc. Better to know what is required and do it, than to find out your boat wasn't covered because you didn't read the fine print.

yea I'm leaning towards the real sailboat. Just saw somebody post 27 Morgan in very good condition for about 7 grand on craigslist. Also local yacht brokers have some nice ones for about 9 grand. So there is plenty of real sailboats around.
Just need to research more on what to do during hurricane or when hurricane hits close to Tampa Bay. Seems like lots of people find safe cove and anchor there. Since I'm new to sailing need to find out the locations of those areas and how it works around tampabay and saint pete clearwater area. I do have full time job and will not have time to sail the boat thousands miles away every time there is a hurricane passing in around tampabay, but at the same time I do not want my boat destroyed in a slip because some other boat banged into it or just because water level went up 6 feet. So thats why trailable boat sounded like a good idea.
The way it looks though... I will be getting a full sailboat and screw the trailer.
So the research continues.
By the way ... if anybody knows where people anchor during those hurricanes passing by Tampa, please let me know.
The main reason for dumping ballast is to trailer the boat, and perhaps to save some fuel while motoring, though I suspect that most leave the ballast in whenever afloat.
That said, assuming you're discussing the hybrid M26M/X, for similar money you can get a real nice real sailboat on the used market that will be a many-times-better liveaboard boat that will also happen to sail reasonably well.
Our son bought a nice Ranger 29 for the approximate cost of the 50 Hp motor found on these boats...... I'd much sooner live on that.
|Kommy, One would think that you would want to flush and refill the ballast water from time to time. Water that is in dark warm tanks over the summer can get nasty!!!
I'm not a fan of the 26 Mcgreg.. as they seem to be poor motorboats and worse sail. the interior is not that spacious and I would be concerned that the water ballast if left in the boat would "grow" some interesting biology.
There are several trailerable boats in the 25-30' range that don't have water ballast and are much better in many ways than the 26.
If constrained by financial considerations, the good news is now is a great time to buy a sailboat as many are becoming available due to the ecomomy .
Before the economy issue sailboats were cheap now they are almost paying to get rid of them ! I just sold a 24' bayliner Bucc for a couple hundred dollars just to be rid of it from my yard ! The guy wanted an inexpensive boat an I obliged. I still have the dual axle trailer for it, he didn't want it !
I thought it was worth more than the Boat!
The Bayliner Bucc's are extremely roomy and can be aquired for very little money. They are looked down upon by many sailors as they are not considered in the same catagory as Bene's and pearsons,etc.
However I found my 32' center cockpit at anchor in the same waters as many other boats worth 10-20 times as much and it didn't diminish the experience, keeping $20-100,000.00 in my pocket !
Actually, I was able to invest in the more important aspects of cruising-solar,generator,good dingy and motor,anchors, oven/stove,refrig,5cu. Ft. freezer,Icemaker,woodstove,Nav equip,radios,tv, and a host of other creature comforts.
I would guess it is probably a great ego boost sitting at anchor and cruising on a $100,000.00 or more boat. But when I traversed the northeast 2 years ago during the fall and met many cruisers/sailors w/ expensive boats many had limited creature comforts. No heat,no refrig,no generator, little or no enclosure for the cockpit. Not to mention the inconvenience of trying to locate ice every couple of days during the summer months.
My advice is buy a sound inexpensive boat in a size you can manage and spend money wisely after getting aboard . as you'll find that what you think you need will be different that what you actual use.
Have fun.
I'm still in the process of researching.
Seems like I find lots of macgregors in really good price, so was looking into that possibility too. I thought hey I can live on it and when hurricane comes here I can trailer it to my buddies house and wait it over there.
I also understand that it is not a true sailboat, that's why I haven't bought it yet. I also read some blogs about living aboard macgregor, so I know it could be done.
I also understand that I need to use its ballast to sail. I just didn't know if that boat can take it sitting water inside of it for a year at the doks or am I supossed to cycle the water once a month or something like that. Just a research...
Can also rotate the air in your car tires, but it doesn't make a difference
If you have that boat in the water, then the ballast NEEDS to be filled. It's the only real weight to counter the mast and pressure from the sails.
I looked at a couple of those boats in my search for a "learning boat". I wound up with an older Macgregor Venture 25 instead - because it has a weighted keel and I don't really like the idea of a water ballast system on a boat, especially not a sail boat (after I did some research).
Couple of questions - where is your boat, and where do you plan to keep it for "years" since it's really a trailerable boat.

This guy needs to get the same treatment,I can't post what I really wanta sayA North Texas man is behind bars on South Padre Island after being arrested for his dogs heat-related death at a popular water park.
South Padre Island police arrested Ambrosius Susilo Bekti under an animal cruelty charge on Thursday afternoon.
A passerby told a police officer that a dog had been left inside a Ford Windstar Van in the parking lot of the Schlitterbahn Water Park.
The police officer saw the dog breathing but not moving.
Firefighters were called to the scene and were able to get inside the car but the animal started convulsing.
The dog was not moving and breathing.
Rescuers tried to perform CPR but were unable to save the dogs life.
Police were unable to locate the owner inside the water park and impounded the van.
Betki allegedly called the South Padre Island Police Department about a missing van.
The 41-year-old Keller, Texas man allegedly confirmed that the impounded van was his and that he last saw the dog inside it around 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
Investigators believe that the animal was left alone in the van for over 3 ½ hours with temperatures exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit inside.
A municipal judge gave Betki a $3,000 dollar bond.

This reminds me of the story I posted about one night at work around a month ago. Some sick pet owner left their pit bull outdoors on a patio with no water or food for at least 12 hours. The temp's were around 113 degrees that day outside at the time here in Vegas. By the way, the residents were evicted from the property! Some people shouldn't be permitted to have pets! No common sense whatsoever.

Horrendous. What a moron.
The fool deserved jail time and a larger fine.
The welfare of humans must always be put above that of either "money" or animals. So, I don't endorse jail for this idiot.
It really wasn't that many years back that this sort of incident was nothing more than an "accident" which at most merited one line in the local rag and a few shakes of the head ---but was in no way considered criminal.
I'm not endorsing what was done, but I do not think this merits much of a punishment.
There have been rare incidents where parents accidentally left kids in cars and were not prosecuted. In one I recall, a man drove to work with a baby in the car and forgot that he was supposed to take him to child care. The circumstances were such that there was no prosecution.
Dogs (much as we love them) are dogs. They are not people.

I'm sure that he was nice and cool playing in the water at the water park while his dog was slowly roasting to death.
I hope that he ultimately gets his chance to bake in a place where the temps are always hotter than 120 degrees.
Liberty Over Tyranny Μολὼν λαβέ
"He needed killing." is a viable defense here in the South. Animal cruelty just gets to me. These innocent pets depend on us for their very existence. Just a dog, huh? Maybe to you, but my three are a part of my family, and I'd draw down just as quickly on someone hurting them as on someone hurting a human family member. They can't defend themselves like a human can. "Hopyard", you sicken me.
It makes my blood boil when I read about this type of behavior, but... I'm trying to figure out how this story relates to Defensive Carry, armed citizens, and "encounters" with bad guys.
Years ago when I worked at Wal-mart, someone pulled into the fire lane and got out of their car to run inside. I happened to be carrying out a TV for a customer and saw the car. On the way back in I noticed a little girl in the back seat with no one else inside it. We had a Metro Dade cop posted there at all times and I flagged him over. We sent the manager inside to page the person and the officer started to try to slim jim the door open. After about 5 minutes of trying, and no one responding to the pages, I grabbed a tire iron a customer was holding and smashed the driver side front window in (well...used the pry bar end to poke thru and unlock the door.)
The officer retrieved the little girl who was covered in sweat and actually panting. About 10 minutes in, and a call to the dispatchers, we had the owner's name. The manager paged that customer to the front and she finally showed up.
By this time, the car was on a tow truck and CPS was on scene to take custody of the child. The lady seemed totally unaware of the situation and kept saying she left the car running with the AC on. The officer asked her where the keys were...and she was holding them. She then started to say...it was only a couple minutes. We told her it was over 20 she was gone.
She went away in cuffs and a few of us had to go to court as witnesses. She did end up getting the child back in the end...which ticked all of us off....

Chambers of Commerce Are Strengthening Local Business
As a new contributor I wish to thank the Ailes family, Joe Lindsley, and the PUTNAM COUNTY COURIER for this opportunity to share exciting business news on a weekly basis.
Our position is unique within the Hudson Valley, poised for growth and ready to move forward. As was seen at our recent Mahopac Street Festival, entrepreneurs are developing new ideas and starting businesses, and established companies are responding quickly to economic challenges by streamlining their operations and innovating their products and services. Things are still difficult out there, but the good news is the independent businesses of Putnam County are adapting very, very well.
They also have more support than ever before. For example, the Greater Mahopac-Carmel Chamber of Commerce has added over 150 new members in two years and boasts unprecedented strength. Its Street Festival and Business Expo were the largest in their history, and the Mahopac Chamber Visitors Center in downtown Mahopac is open 6 days per week through Oct 30.
Also, the new Putnam County Chamber, supported by seven smaller organizations throughout the county, is beginning to address some of the larger, countywide concerns of the business community. By contrast, many big chambers in other Hudson Valley counties actually expect to lose a significant number of members this year, and experts still fear a prolonged period of instability in the region's economy. Many business leaders view Putnam's accomplishments with admiration, marveling at how we've been able to buck the regional trends. The need for our business community to remain united and strong has never been greater!
For those concerned about the upcoming elections, please attend the Putnam County Chambers/League of Women Voters debate on October 19, 7pm at the Carmel VFW. The focus will be on the needs and concerns of the business community.
Pete Bardunias is President/CEO, of the Greater Mahopac-Carmel Chamber of Commerce and Board Member (ex-officio) of the Putnam County Chambers of Commerce.

According to an article published Sunday on FightNews.com, mediocre pugilist Amir Khan has emerged as the frontrunner to face the great Floyd Mayweather on May 3. The 26-year-old Khan (28-3, 19 KOs) was tentatively slated to scrap IBF welterweight titlist Devon Alexander this December at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn. However, Khan has reportedly decided to avoid Alexander (25-1, 14 KOs) to focus on a potential bout against the 36-year-old Mayweather (45-0, 26 KOs). Flattened by a left hook in the fourth and staggered by the same punch in the eighth, 10th and 11th rounds, Khan most recently escaped from … Continue reading →

Forecasters say true to form, March will come in like a lion
New Hampshire will remain stuck in the ice box through next week.
Forecasters said frigid air remains locked in over New England with chill temperatures expected to continue for the next several days.
No record-breaking cold is in store for the region, but temperatures are running well below normal for this time of year.
"It's mostly just colder than we'd like," said Margaret Curtis, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Friday's highs will likely be around 20 in southern New Hampshire, with single digits in the North Country. Overnight lows will dip to just below zero in the Merrimack Valley to as low as 15 below in places like Berlin, Curtis said.
Wednesday's high in Concord was 25, which is 13 degrees below normal. The low of minus 1 was 18 degrees colder than normal, Curtis said.
While high temperatures will warm to around 30 in southern areas to the low 20s north this weekend, they're expected to drop back down into the teens and 20s next week.
"Another big block of cold air is setting up across the central part of the country," Curtis said.
Meanwhile, forecasters are keeping an eye on a potential coastal storm moving close to New England on Monday.
While some had called for the storm to come close enough to bring heavy snow to southern areas, it appears the storm will likely head farther south, according to John Cannon, also a meteorologist at the Gray, Maine, office.
If the storm stays south, Cannon said southern New Hampshire would see only light snow from the system.

SHREVEPORT, La. — Danny Smith, of Monterey, La., turned 47 on Friday. And he celebrated in grand style Saturday, winning the Bassmaster Central Open on the Red River.
His birthday haul? A new Triton TR20X2 boat/trailer combination powered by a 200 horsepower Mercury OptiMax engine, and $6,000 cash.
Smith's total bag weight Saturday of 13 pounds, 15 ounces. While it wasn't the biggest bag of the day, it was enough to give him a three-day weight of 42-6 and his first Bassmaster tournament win.
Hometown angler Marvin Ettredge, the leader at the start of the day, finished second.
In the co-angler division, 25-year-old Ryan Evans from Grapevine, Texas, scored his first victory with a three-day total of 29 pounds.
After Thursday's heat and humidity and Friday's rain, the top 30 anglers who made the cut were greeted Saturday with cloud cover and cooler temperatures. The rain held off during tournament hours, letting loose just as the first boats returned.
The changing weather and the changing conditions along the river had many in the field changing their tactics, but in the end the winner said he used a consistent strategy throughout the three-day event.
"I just stayed with what I was doing," Smith said. "Fishing a jig in maybe 5 foot of water around the bridges. I just stayed in two areas and went back and forth."
Smith's tactic is one he has used in the past.
"If you can get fish biting a jig they usually don't change very much," Smith said. "The topwater patterns and stuff like that are too undependable, I've found over the years. You can go to a place and annihilate them on topwater and go back the next day and they won't even look at it."
And while Smith's tactic helped him win the tournament, there was another key to his success.
"Me being confident in what I was using and what I was doing," Smith said, "and not letting other people control what I thought or what I did. I found some fish in an area and stuck with what I like to do, and that's throw a jig. I just stuck with it."
For second-place finisher Ettredge, the key to success was knowing the river and reading the currents.
"Current is what helps us to catch fish," Ettredge said. "When the current gets moving the shad get more active. Of course you've got to have the right water, the right drop and the right cover and have the bait fish, and if you have that you have the big fish.
"I've never fished current like this in June, it's always in the spring. It was definitely different but once I found them and got onto to the current pattern it kind of got easy."
In the pro division, Ryan Brown from LaPlace, La., was third. Brian Clark was fourth and Mike Pedroza rounded out the top five.
Keith Morris, of Nacogdoches, Texas, was second in the co-angler division.
Kevin Hanson from Pineville, La., took home the Purolator Big Bass trophy with a 7-pound, 4-ounce fish he landed on the first day of the tournament.
In the Bassmaster Central Division Points, Brian Clark maintains his lead. The Central Open Series heads to Lake Amistad in Texas, Sept. 27-29.

Maxed out main panel and sub panel - additional 240v needed
Kind of new to electrical and I am thinking about purchasing a 240v air compressor but I think I have a big problem. The Main Panel is Maxed out and so is the sub-panel. I am running the sub-panel from the main panel using a 70amp breaker at the main panel. The sub panel currently has two 40amp two-pole 240v circuits in it and i need another one for an air compressor. Can I change the sub-panel to be able to be allow for a 3rd 240v circuit to be run to my additional 40amp disconnect panel outside?
My friend wanted me to tap into the dryer outlet but I don't think that is a good idea since I wouldn't be able to use the dryer and the air compressor at the same time.
Thank you for any input you can provide. I do have a photo of the panel if you would like to see it.
How many open spaces are available in the sub panel? Will the circuit be in the same building as the sub panel?
The sub panel is right next to main panel and it is maxed out too. The 40amp disconnect panel for the air compressor will be in the garage.
1 Attachment(s)
Check either or both panels and see if they will accept tandem breakers. You could use a couple of these to free up the two spaces you require for the third sub panel.
See the picture of a tandem breaker below. The panel must be listed to allow the use of tandem breakers and where they can be place in the panel board.
However, You make no mention of your service size or how big or small your house is. You don't say if you have gas appliances. You do mention an electric dryer.
If you have less than a 200 amp service, I would be thinking service upgrade.
The box doesn't accept the tandem breakers and all but one of the breakers for 120v are slim breakers. 4 of the circuits are already 240v - one for main disconnect, one for subpanel, one for oven and one for hot water heater (i think). This is a large house built in 1901 and has a 200amp service i am pretty sure. The sub panel is only used for a dryer and another subpanel for the pool pump which i would just like to disconnect but i know my wife will want to use it in the next couple of months. My thought is to upgrade the Cutler Hammer sub-panel to one with 8-10 poles and then just add the circuit there.

At a recent meeting of Muslim scholars in Indonesia, it was proposed that Muslims must comply with sharia law and raised questions as to whether there were occasions when national law took precedence. According to some scholars, "sharia is based on the consensus of Muslim communities. Therefore, the potential for it to be rejected is low." Although, not a Muslim or one who is knowledgeable about Shaira law, this statement raises questions. The expression, "consensus of Muslim communities" suggests there is a process of soliciting opinion of members of a community. In real life, it is rare to have all people in a community accept a particular view. In the absence of a voting process the only alternative is seeking the ideas of Muslim scholars.
They may be scholars but it is impossible for them to conclude a majority of Muslims in a community agree or disagree on a particular point without some elective or voting process.

Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
I bought a DTS 2006 in November 05. I like it very much, but recently found out that unlike my Buick LeSabre 89 and my Chevy Lumina 99, the cruise control on the DTS does not control the speed going down hill. It keeps accelerating beyond the set up speed in the standard cruise control. I am afraid that I am going to get a speeding ticket. The cruise control works fine going up hill but not down hill. I complained to the dealer and their service department told me that this is the way the cruise control works on this car. I could not believe it!!
Anyone has experienced any different?
Please let me know if there is a cure for this problem.
Thank you

Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
Hello Carlos, My post is the one about Downhill inadvertent acceleration problem. The DTS is a great car, very good ride and plenty of power. I have noticed the same thing you mention with our 2006 DTS. We live in the Sierras North East of Sacramento, so we see the same thing with the downhill coasting. I don't think there is a fix for this. We came down from Lake Tahoe yesterday. We had to shift out of overdrive on the steep grades, otherwise we would be going way over the speed limit. We averaged 24 mpg, not bad for a 4000 lb. car. Also it would be really hard on the brakes if we do not shift down. These cars are high geared, so they really coast in overdrive. We keep the car out of overdrive in town.
No one has giving us any help about the acceleration problem we are having. In the lower gears the car auto-accelerates with the engine jumping 600 to 700 rpms on downhill grades.
Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
Sorry to hear that you are caught in the expectations trap. Cadillac and as far as I know all other maunfacturers avoid the pitfall of having to resolve design errors by never really publishing much specific information. They provide standard operating instructions but never provide details and leave the rest up to your expectations. You have a set of expectations as to how CC should work but they don't have any obligations to match our expectations.
They apparently hire new engineers who never drove any of the predessor cars that their customers have driven and therefore always seem to start with a clean slate and force you to adapt to their whims.
I made the mistake of buying an early 2004 SRX. If you are used to a pre 2005 DTS the SRX is a very disappointing vehicle. The standard answer I received after going in for several issues was that after comparing my SRX to others it was determined that my car was operating as designed. (More accurately, it was operating as mis-designed).
Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
I have seen a similar complaint on this forum before, possibly even that last poster's car.
I am doing some research to see if Cadillac provides for engine braking in 4th gear, I am not sure they do. If there is no provision for engine braking then transmission components will spin free when the vehicle speed is greater than engine speed and you'll accelerate going down hills.
If engine braking is provided then the compression of the engine without the accelerator pressed should provide assistance to maintain your speed when coasting down hills. I know a couple of my older cars did not have engine braking in 4th gear and I suspect yours does not either.
I'll let you know when I hear back from some of my technician friends with a for sure answer.
The only cruise system that provides for brake application with the cruise on is the adaptive cruise control available on DTS and XLR (as far as I know).
It only provides braking, however, if someone is in front of you.
Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
I hope that Cadillactechnician can come up with something. As to my earlier entry about expectations, I am pasting a long ago entry I made regarding the SRX CC. No one at my dealership really liked the way things were working but they had to point out that my unit was operating just like the others.
As I said before, I suspect this is common to all manufacturers. I am a happy camper with my DTS but really question what is going on in the newer Caddy types where they seem more concerned with making Europeans happy than they do US citizens.
I will say this one more time. The cruise control module in the V8 is pooly integrated into the power plant. The best way to explain the failure mode is to set the CC at say 40 MPH. Then use the accelerate function. First of all there is a pregnant pause of a second or so where nothing happens and it feels like the car is slowing down.
Then it almost jumps ahead which is usually accompanied by a downshift. If you release the accelerate at 50 MPH, it will settle in around 47 MPH. The CC module to engine interface is not matched up well and everything the CC module does is overdriven. These symptoms will diminish as you increase the speed because the engine reactions are dampened out as you go further up the torque/horsepower curves.
I am told that the 6 cylinder CC does not act this way. It's almost as if the V8 CC is putting in the same ammount of throttle reaction you would need to make the V6 accelerate properly.
Now the official Cadillac (at least SRX) investigative technique is to drive a few other V8 SRXes and hope they work the same. When that is the case they then look at you as if you are an idiot and tell you your vehicle is working as designed. They won't talk about design defects and God forbid you should bring up a manufacturing defect because this thing came from the sacred Lansing plant. (you know, the one with more robots and less drunks)
Now you can challenge them with the statement that other Cadillacs don't fail this way. I have driven 2005 STS'es, Escalades, Devilles and my Deville DTS and can assure you that none of them fail this way. They accelerate smoothly and predictably and the speed stays where you set it. And this failure is not tied to the fact that the SRX uses the "stupid stalk" control mechanism. The STS has the same thing and it works smoothly.
Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
If you had seen how the front end panels, grill, frnders, hood, etc were aligned on the SRX you would know why I was critical of the Lansing plant. At that time, Cadillac was really talking up that facility. The right front door was so far out of alignment that the door would sometimes catch on the fender when you opened it. The car reminded me of a 1976 Dodge van that was completely asymmetrical when viewed from the front or rear.
The thing that really made me so "harsh" about the SRX was that it was garaged right beside my 2003 DTS. At that time, my Cadillac expectations were drawn from 1 Eldorado ETC and 3 DeVille DTS's. These cars are a hard act to follow and the 2004 SRX certainly couldn't do that.
Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
First year models always have more quality control issues. I have not experienced those types of issues (or really any significant issues for that matter) w/ my '06 SRX. I don't doubt your claims however. According to the SRX forum, the 04's seem to be more problematic. Nonetheless, as a "Lansing-ite", I still think your comment was harsh. Glad you stayed with GM though after your bad experience.
Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
Sorry about insulting you as a Lancinite.
I guess I bought the SRX because we wanted a hi performabce SUV and the 320 HP V8 with a 5 speed auto really caught my attention.
At first I was enthralled with the performance aspect and just didn't look closely at anything else. In fact I infuenced a friend to buy one. He had the ultra view which rattled so badly that they referred to the car as a Rattalac. Ultimately they lemon lawed it and GM re-purchased the vehicle.
I never will forget his text msg one night as he was walking down the highway for gas with a picture of the dash indicating he still had a 40 mile range.
About the same time, GM was pushing a JD powers notice that the Lancing plant was an award winner for quality.
Search my ID and the following string topics just to get an idea of what that thing was like.
Pass. Door Dents Fender
Assembly quality
(unfortunately the pictures for this one were deleted, they were pathetic and probably embarassed someone too much) I went to the dealers lot and took photos of many SRXs with the whole front end mis aligned)
To make matters worse, the 2 buyers in Saudi Arabia or somewhere around there talked about their folding mirrors (not available here for some dumb reason, Cadillac applied a computer upgrade that added almost a second to my 0 - 60 time because they retarded wide open throttle so that the 4 wheel drive vehicles would quit clunking because of gear train slack (applied to my 2 wheel drive and there was no back off procedure).
I quit taking the SRX on trips and just used it to haul stuff in and thought of it as a Chevy in White Diamond paint.
Anyway, I stuck with US cars even back in the 60s and 70s when Detroit couldn't do anything right and didn't care who knew. I had a relative who used to brag how he would jam the crankcase boring machine and have to sleep for a couple of hours while waiting for the union electrician to replace the fuse. It was so ironic when years later he gave me a maniacal quality lecture and how important it was at GM. My reply was where the hell have you people been for the last 20 years?
Seeing the front end on the SRX, listening to my friends' Rattlac and hearing continual excuses about obvious design defects being "normal operation" did make me consider buying a car manufactured in a country that was formerly a WWII enemy.
Now, I completely have the Cadillac Chevrolet out of my system and will just think plesant thoughts based upon my DTS.
Re: Cruise Control Accelerates Downhill
Hey, no personal offense taken - I don't work at the plant or have any family members that are GM employees. It is just a major part of our economy here.
I also hear you - it sounds like you got an exceptionally bad unit. Which, I admit, is indicative of a potentially greater general quality control problem.
I would also be ticked off about the "re-program" which slows 0-60 time. When I bought mine, I knew what I was getting into in terms of performance. If my unit was faster, then slowed after a re-flash, I would not be happy. My v8 certainly does not feel like 320HP, but I knew that when I ordered it. I ordered it anyway b/c of the package it came with (18 inch rims, wood, chrome roof rails, etc) and for quieter engine noise, as the N* in my wife's SLS has been a dream.
