WASHINGTON — The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was looking into allegations by Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky that political opponents bugged his campaign headquarters.
Mr. McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, blamed the "political left" for an anonymous recording of a meeting at his campaign headquarters that appeared on the Web site of Mother Jones, a liberal magazine, on Tuesday morning. The recording captures Mr. McConnell and his aides outlining possible attacks on potential opponents, especially the actress Ashley Judd.
"They were bugging our headquarters, quite a Nixonian move," Mr. McConnell said Tuesday at a news conference. "This is what you get from the political left in America these days."
As yet, Mr. McConnell faces no serious challenge to his seat, but the 12-minute tape of a Feb. 2 meeting in Louisville suggests his team was ready with opposition research gathered by aides.
"This is the Whac-A-Mole period of the campaign," Mr. McConnell said on the tape. "When anybody sticks their head up, do them out."
Ms. Judd's head was up, so to speak, amid speculation that she would run against him in 2014. Along with comments that could mark her as a "carpetbagger" and an "out-of-touch, Hollywood liberal," aides found fodder for more personal attacks.
"This sounds extreme, but she is emotionally unbalanced," one man said. He cited her confessions of suicidal tendencies in an autobiography. The group laughed at an interview in which Ms. Judd, in an apparent critique of American consumerism, said, "I absolutely flipped out when I saw pink fuzzy socks on a rack."
In March, Ms. Judd announced that she would not run for the seat. Her spokeswoman said: "This is yet another example of the politics of personal destruction that embody Mitch McConnell and are pervasive in Washington, D.C. We expected nothing less from Mitch McConnell and his camp than to take a personal struggle such as depression, which many Americans cope with on a daily basis, and turn it into a laughing matter."
A spokeswoman for the F.B.I.'s Louisville division said it was "looking into" the complaints from Mr. McConnell's office.
Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said, "This 'anything to win, laws and rules be damned' mentality has to stop."
Guy Cecil, executive director of the Senate Democrats' campaign arm, shot back that the organization "doesn't know if this tape came from a disgruntled Senate staffer who was forced to dig up dirt on their boss's potential opponents or another source."
Mother Jones stood by the report by David Corn, who also published the tape of Mitt Romney's "47 percent" comments last year. Without revealing the source, the magazine said, "It is our understanding that the tape was not the product of a Watergate-style bugging operation."
In the tape, McConnell aides acknowledged that they had less material against another potential Democratic challenger, Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky's secretary of state. David Adams, a Tea Party activist in Kentucky, said Mr. McConnell's concern about threats from the left was misplaced.
"It's going to come from the right," said Mr. Adams, who is seeking a conservative opponent to Mr. McConnell. "The fact that he's coming unglued about this thing should make clear to observers that he may not be ready for the challenge that lies ahead."
On Tuesday, the campaign solicited cash and volunteers to "stand with Senator McConnell against illegal wiretapping."

UCLA redshirt freshman QB Brett Hundley hoping to fill near-decade long vacuum
It's back. The Pac-12 football blog is back. Here's a look at today's stories from around the conference. We lead off with…
UCLA — Redshirt freshman Brett Hundley tries to revive UCLA's quarterback tradition that has been a major weakness for most of the last decade.
The NFL hasn't drafted a UCLA quarterback in 13 years. A lack of competition and injuries are reasons but this is the same school that produced the likes of Bob Waterfield, Gary Beban, and Troy Aikman.

Egypt returns to polls as military cements its control
As Egyptians returned to the polls Saturday to decide between two runoff candidates for president, the ruling military council officially dissolved Parliament, cementing its grip on the government and casting a pall over what was supposed to be Egypt's first-ever chance to freely elect its leader.
Instead, the Supreme High Election Commission, which is in charge of elections, late Saturday affirmed the decision of the head of the military council, Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, to break up Parliament after a court ruling last week that one-third of the legislative body had been elected illegally. Both the court and commission consist of appointees of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and the decision came just as voters were choosing a leader for the last remaining branch of government not officially in military or the former regime's hands.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which had dominated the Parliament, called Tantawi's announcement illegal and demanded a referendum on whether Parliament should be dissolved. It was the latest in a series of legal and political moves by Egypt's dueling powers that have polarized and dispirited the nation on what was supposed to be a buoyant moment: Egyptians electing their president for the first time.
Gone was the jubilation of last month, when Egyptians picked among 13 candidates in the first round of presidential elections. A patina of resignation and fear hung over the process on the first of two days of runoff voting as many voters said that despite the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak 16 months ago, the state created by Mubarak remains largely intact.
Many called the process that led to the runoff election a "game." Turnout was reported to be low, particularly among young people and pro-revolutionary parties, as the choice on the ballot was between two conservatives: Mubarak's former prime minister and the apparent frontrunner, Ahmed Shafik, and the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate, Mohammed Morsi. The winner is slated to be sworn in July 1.
Besides the court ruling, the military council announced last week that soldiers could arrest civilians for a broad range of violations, marking the return of martial law just weeks after a hated three-decade emergency law had expired.
"This is not in our hands. We have done what we can do," said a man who wanted to be identified only as Rifat, saying he feared reprisals. The 45-year-old factory worker had voted for Morsi in Helwan, a poor community in southern Cairo.
"I'm worried," he said. "They said there would be democracy but nothing happened. I hope my vote will count, God willing."
Election day appearances by the candidates suggested that one had the protection of the state while the other had the will of the people. Shafik was heavily guarded and sneaked into his polling station through a side entrance to avoid being attacked by shoe-throwing voters, as happened last month. Morsi, on the other hand, stood in line like other voters.
Soraya Mahmoud, 62, burst into tears as she considered the prospect of a victory by Shafik, Mubarak's last prime minister. Mahmoud voted for Morsi in the poor Egyptian neighborhood of Dar Salaam in southeastern Cairo, where the stench of trash piles forced some women to use their veils to cover their noses.
"God willing, I hope the (military council) SCAF will have the same fate as Mubarak," she said. "They want to bring back the regime. There is martial law now. What's going on here? The blood of the martyrs will be in vain."
In Cairo and the port city of Alexandria, voter turnout appeared to be much lower than the first round. Where polling stations opened promptly at 8 a.m. last time, election workers on Saturday appeared more lax about setting up stations. At one station in northern Cairo's Shubhra neighborhood, poll workers only checked the identity of women in niqab after they dropped their ballots in the box. At another in the southeastern Dar Salaam neighborhood, a Shafik delegate, ostensibly there to monitor the process, instead took part in it, guiding voters to dip their finger in purple ink to confirm they voted.
Some violations were more serious. The Shehab Center for Human Rights, an organization based in Alexandria, alleged that Shafik supporters in several polling stations used what is locally known as the rotating ballot – a pre-filled ballot paper handed to voters outside of the polling station. A popular tactic under the Mubarak regime, it typically promises voters money if they deposit the pre-filled ballot in the ballot box and return their blank ballot back to the partisans outside the polling place.
Judge Farouk Sultan, who heads the election commission, said in a press conference that the commission had discovered 1,000 pre-marked ballots.
Pro-revolutionary parties grudgingly told their supporters to vote for Morsi. But millions of voters who wanted change became their own strategists in front of a ballot. Some who had voted for the revolutionary favorite Hamdeen Sabahi, who captured more than 4 million votes in the first round, said they decided to vote for Shafik because if he did a bad job, it would galvanize people to go back to the streets to protest. Stopping a seemingly power-hungry Muslim Brotherhood was much harder, they said.
Still others said that Egypt now needed a leader guided by Islam to end its economic and security problems. Either way, neither was a ringing endorsement of the candidates.
"I don't trust the Muslim Brotherhood anymore. It is very unfortunate that Morsi and Shafik are the only options now," said Ahmed Karim, a 45 year-old government employee who once handed out posters of Sabahi in his western Alexandria neighborhood. This time, he voted for Shafik.
Yasser Gouda, 31, a print house worker in the largely Christian Cairo neighborhood of Shubra, said he voted for Shafik because he believed that even though Shafik had served under Mubarak, he couldn't govern the same way in post-uprising Egypt.
"He won't be able to govern like Hosni Mubarak did. If he does, he will know what his destiny is. It will be just like Hosni's," Gouda said.
Shubra, where many Christians fear living under the Brotherhood, was one of the few places where election judges reported higher turnout.
Not all voters were dismayed. In the upper class neighborhood of Maadi, many voters said they welcomed both the dissolving of parliament and a potential President Shafik. The removal of Mubarak was enough change, they said, and only a known quantity like Shafik could bring about real reform.
"I'm happy that they dissolved Parliament. The Brotherhood had too much power," Ragwa Ahmed Mohammed, 23, a secretary at a petrol company. "I am not with the revolutionaries at all. There has been enough change."
Special correspondents Mohannad Sabry in Alexandria, Egypt, and Amina Ismail in Cairo contributed to this report.

… pregnant.
October 20, 2012 by 14 Comments
… pregnant.
Okay, I"m not sure if that last attempt worked; sorry if you get a repeat. Here's the link: http://deweystreehouse.blogspot.ca/2012/09/elsie-cressman-1923-2012.html .
Hi Kim,
I've linked a birth story through my signature. Best wishes from the Squirrels!
SOOO excited for you and the new house and new baby on the way!!! Can't wait to see pics of the inside!!
Xoxo GiGi
Hope you're doing well and can't wait to see pics of the little guy! Here's the birth story from my daughter's birth in May. It's rather long, but not horrible. Just probably very different from any of your births since it took place in China. http://chinesepotpourri.com/2012/05/catherines-birth-story-2/
Get some rest and enjoy your new house!
I have been following your website for a few months now. This is my first time commenting! I hope you labour and delivery is swift and as painless as possible. You seem like one strong Mama!
The story I am posting was my easiest birth, very encouraging, I think. I hope I posted it right.
Here is the birth story of our latest blessing. Our ninth living child. seasonedwithlife.brinkmanadventures.com/?p=91 (Hope that works) I'm still figuring out this blog thing so ignore the disorganization of it. Praying for you and your family as you get ready to welcome this new little blessing into your arms.
I am strangely in the same boat as you! I am due any day from now till the end of the month (I don't believe in due dates after having one 2 weeks early, one 2 weeks late and one right on the due date!), and we just moved into a new house on the 4th!
This will be my 3rd home birth (Lord willing) of 4 births and I am also experiencing anticipation as well as a little trepidation as the big event is closer every day.
I thought I'd share the stories of my last 2 homebirths:
God bless!
I think you should 'supervise', put your feet up and have some chocolate!! Hope the wee man hangs in until you re organised! X
Me too – though I will be 42 weeks on Monday and that was with an adjusted due date. Guess these Oct. babies are just hanging out longer… I hope you get to hold your little guy soon!
Well, I hope the girls are getting the nursery all set up. And your room. And if you wish to speed things up, start eating tabasco sauce and shifting and carrying those heavy boxes and running up and down the stairs to get things moving inside!
On the other hand, maybe you should just put your feet up and have another hot chocolate!
Waiting with you, Sister…..
Hang in there darlin'! I guess this gives your family time to get things in their place. Are you busy putting things away also? How are you passing the time? I'm due with you, as of today! Wish I knew how to send you a pic…
How wonderful! Praying!

Cork Week
Rachel Solon
posted on March 16, 2012 12:15
With less than four months to go to the start of one of Ireland's most prestigious yachting regatta, competitors are relishing the thought of returning to Crosshaven for Cork Week in July. The oldest yacht club in the world, the Royal Cork, is getting ready for the big event and the club is in great shape, as Cork Week Chairman, Pat Lyons explains:
"The club and our marina are in excellent condition and this was confirmed in February by the award of a 5 Gold Anchor Marina by The Yacht Harbour Association in conjunction with the RYA. The Royal Cork is the first Yacht Club in Ireland to be awarded this prestigious title and it is a fine assessment of the fantastic efforts of all the staff. We are delighted to have been awarded this impressive title prior to Cork Week 2012, so all our competitors can enjoy a top level of facilities and services this July."
Entries for Cork Week 2012 are gathering pace. Besides a large contingent of Irish boats, many yachts travel from far and wide to Crosshaven for the regatta.
Sailing Logic's Reflex 38, Tim Thubron will skipper "Visit Malta Puma", the Hamble based sailor had a great start to the year with a class winning performance in the RORC Caribbean 600.
"Well, Cork Week is one of the biggest events in the yachting calendar and 'Visit Malta Puma' had a huge amount of fun last time round. This will be my sixth Cork Week, it's an occasion I have always looked forward to," enthused Thubron.
"The courses are challenging and have great variety including the Harbour Course, which always throws up a few surprises. It's nice to have a different and equally challenging course everyday, it just makes it a proper regatta really. I am sure we will have some very competitive racing, in 2010 we narrowly missed out on a big class win to 'Rockabill V' and this year, we expect some exciting action, not only with Irish boats, but from other countries as well. After racing, the event village is full of old sailing friends and it's great to catch up and have a pint with those guys and chat about the day's racing.
Lots of regattas have tag lines but Cork Week really is – run by sailors for sailors - the hospitality from the Yacht Club, local pubs and restaurants, is unmatched. Cork Week is a tribute to the whole community in Crosshaven."
The J/109 Class will be holding the Irish National Championships at Cork Week, Greg Burgess' Welsh J/109 "Bluejay" will be back to defend their dramatic last race win in 2010 and a large contingent from Dublin are also expected. Former Irish J/109 Class Captain, John Maybury and skipper of "Joker" has hopes for great occasion.
"Cork Week was chosen for our National Championship because it is the regatta with the highest profile in our calendar and we hope for a big turn out", commented John Maybury. "It is important to stress that the event is open to all nationalities, not just the Irish fleet. In 2010 there were 18 J/109s at Cork Week and it would be fantastic to see a similar number this year. We have 15 J/109s that race on a regular basis in Ireland and we hope to have visitors from overseas to swell that number. The racing will be extremely competitive and once ashore, there are a huge variety of facilities. The Royal Cork Yacht Club, the race village, the restaurants and the pubs provide everything from simple fayre to gourmet cuisine, it is going to be an event not to be missed - great racing with a fantastic atmosphere."
On something of a 'busman's holiday', Gael Pawson, Editor of Yachts & Yachting magazine, will be racing at Cork Week on Neil Thomas' Prima 38, "Mighty Max 2", which will be sailing to Cork from Liverpool.
"Cork Week is a fabulous event and I've always really enjoyed it but for some reason for the last few years I have been quite busy and I just haven't managed to fit it in," said Gael. "This year I just thought I needed to make an extra effort because it's just been too long without racing in Ireland. In the past I have raced in one design and sportsboats at Cork, so I have never raced on the harbour course. I can't wait to get back to Crosshaven and finally get the grand tour of Cork Harbour.
What I really like about Cork Week is that there is serious racing with high level people as well as sailors there just for the fun of it. But everybody ashore takes a bit of time to have a giggle; the regatta is a good blend of laughter and serious sailing. One of the strengths of Cork Week is the range of music in the evenings, you can move around and really enjoy the night, not just standing around drinking but you can have a bit of a dance as well, I like that mixture."
In recent years, the Quarter Tonner Class has enjoyed a renaissance and, as such, a separate class looks likely for Cork Week. Cork Week Racing Chairman, Anthony O'Leary, explains the reason: "We are delighted that Cork Week will be attracting a number of Quarter Tonners but we feel that as these yachts have been extensively optimized, other yachts racing in Class IRC 6 should be treated separately, hence there will be a prize for the best yacht in the class excluding them and another for the best Quarter Tonner."
Ian Travers from Kinsale has been very much part of the revival of the Quarter Ton Class in Ireland: "I know of at least five other Irish Quarter Tonners that are going to be competing at Cork Week and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Especially as this year, I will be racing 'Per Una'. Eamonn Rohan and I bought her and she has great pedigree, pity about the owners!", joked Ian.
"I would say the local favourite 'Tiger' will be the one to beat but all the QTs in Ireland would dearly love to see some of the UK boats come over for the craic. I can assure you they would get a good battle on the water and some lively evening entertainment!"
The first Cork Week took place in 1978 and since then people from across the world return time after time to experience a truly unique regatta. There's the fantastic variety of courses, the picturesque setting and the legendary shore side entertainment but Cork Week has a sprinkle of magic that can only really be understood by those who come to Crosshaven and enjoy the full hospitality of the Royal Cork Yacht Club.
For more information including on line entry:
Cork Week 2012 takes place at the Royal Cork Yacht Club, Crosshaven, Co. Cork from July 7th to 13th.

CULTURE- FRIDAYS UPDATE PG-13? Kings bring tunes, humor to Fridays
In most cases, appointing yourself as monarch of anything is probably cruisin' for a bruisin', but given that there aren't too many rock bands rehearsing on Meridian Street, the Kings of Belmont are probably okay for the time being.
This may be a rags-to-riches story in the making, though– the kings have certainly come a long way since their humble beginnings down at the late Atomic Burrito. Guitarist Ross van Brocklin and keyboard player Aaron Ahlbrandt had known each other since their middle school days and started performing together as a duo with a drum machine near the end of 2006. Hard as it is to believe, their other gig as members of the local Ween tribute band apparently wasn't artistically fulfilling.
As a Serious Band, though, they were off to a rocky start. "It was definitely just as much comedic as it was musical," says van Brocklin. With a few months and a little buzz under their belt, however, they were able to pick up several other musicians and began crafting something more compelling starting in early 2007.
Guitarist Max Collins still remembers what it was like when van Brocklin and Ahlbrandt first attracted his attention. "I knew there were some seeds," he says, "and even though some of it was lighthearted, there was something really deep there."
It seems to have been enough to motivate all of them. "The key to our local success over the course of the last eight months has been the fact that we're practicing three or four nights a week and being ready for our shows," says Collins. "Seeing Kings of Belmont a year and a half ago, it's a completely transformed version."
"I haven't heard one person complain about showing up to practice, which is really helping us out," he adds.
Despite all that rehearsal time, they haven't yet entirely figured out how exactly they fit into the Fridays After Five schema of family-friendly afternoon entertainment, given that their late night shows still don't stray too far from the risque humor of their Atomic roots.
"We're going to have some people get the wrong impression, maybe, but if they get the CD they'll put it together," says Collins.
"We just got Parental Advisory stickers for them," he adds with a laugh.
"If we talk too much, we'll get in trouble," van Brocklin says.
Still, Fridays After Five has always been a landmark gig for any Charlottesville band with big dreams. "A lot of people are going to be seeing us for the first time. I feel like we have something to prove," Collins says.
van Brocklin is also starting to find new fans for the taking elsewhere, including at one particularly fruitful recent show at R2. "There were a bunch of people there before we started, and I didn't recognize any of them," he says.
"That's a great feeling, having people you don't recognize in the front row singing the words," Collins says.
In time, they may live up to the name. But Collins doesn't seem to be in a hurry: "We'll always play at least one Ween tune per show," he says.
The Kings Of Belmont perform with 6 Day Bender at Fridays After Five this week at the Charlottesville Pavilion starting at 5:30pm.

Snapshot of Health Policy in 2018 State Legislative Sessions
Many state legislatures are passing the midpoint for 2018 sessions, and trends are emerging in their efforts to tackle health care affordability and coverage. States are also reacting to federal activity around Medicaid and private market coverage including the repeal of the individual mandate. Below are some of the noteworthy state health legislative measures already moving this year.

New Yorkers might think they have to leave the city for a great vacation, but here are some suggestions for new and delightful places to visit on a New York City stay-cation from Bill Helmreich, the author of The New York Nobody Knows. For visitors from out of town, these destinations offer a side of the city separate from the usual tourist fare. Because of the distances between these places travel by auto is advisable, except for Manhattan, where travel by cab and public transportation is another option.
Besides the popular destinations, there's much else to see. Starting from the North, Fort Tryon Park is a must at this time of the year. Nearby, walk down Pinehurst and Cabrini Avenues in Washington Heights, and don't miss Chittenden Avenue at 187th St., with a fabulous view of the Hudson, the Jersey cliffs, and the George Washington Bridge, and the famous (look it up) Halloween House. On E. 162nd Street, you'll find Jumel Terrace, one of a kind wooden homes built in the nineteenth Century on a cobbled street, now selling for up to one million dollars. For authentic (not tourist) gospel, stop in at a small church on 114th Street, just east of 1st Avenue. and for arguably the most beautiful brownstone street in Manhattan, go down 78th Street between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenue. And, of course, there's the gentrified Lower East Side, the East Village area (especially 9th Street east all the way to Tompkins Square Park) and much more.
The quite safe Harding Park section in the Bronx feels like you've stepped back into history. It's basically a Puerto Rican village, with small, neatly tended cottages fronted by charming gardens. Chickens scampering across the narrow roads and the beating rhythms of Spanish music give it an air of authenticity. And the drop-dead views of the Manhattan skyline across the East River make it the quintessentially paradoxical Gotham experience — one of the many communities with a small-town feel, under the umbrella of the most sophisticated twenty-first-century city in the world.
And while you're there, visit Arthur Avenue and its many first-rate Italian restaurants and cafés. For sheer natural beauty, visit Pelham Bay Park. Over three times the size of Central Park, its sweeping views of rolling hills and the nearby bay are worth the effort. You'll need a cart for this excursion, but you won't be sorry.
Go to Linden Boulevard near 180th Street in St. Albans and see the mural of all the jazz greats who once lived in the area — Fats Waller, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, and more. Visit nearby Addisleigh Park. For Afghani, Tibetan, Filipino, Hispanic, Thai, and Indian eateries of all types, walk between 82nd and 72nd Streets along Roosevelt Avenue. For beautiful homes and mansions with spectacular views of the water and bridges, stroll through Douglaston or Forest Hills Gardens. For an old-fashioned candy store and ice cream parlor, visit Eddie's Sweet Shop at 105-29 Metropolitan Ave, near 72nd Road.
If you're looking for nostalgia, take a trip to 2056 85th Street in Bensonhurst. Outside, you'll see a most remarkable collection of Brooklyn's history and that of the country — Betty Boop, Superman's phone booth, the Fonz, Ebbets Field, Godfather types, Wildroot hair cream, vintage autos behind garage door, and much more. Look at the incredible gingerbread house at 8200 Narrows Ave, built in 1917. There's the incredible graffiti at Troutman and St. Nicholas or Waterbury and Meserole, both in Bushwick. And check out beautiful Marine Park, with a nearby fishing village area called Gerritsen Beach.
Staten Island:
Enjoy a boardwalk stroll on South Beach where people sunbathe, play volleyball, and just relax. It's 150 years old and was the locale for at least 100 films shot in the 1890s. Many silent films stars, like actress Lillian Gish and director W. D. Griffith, got their start there. Next to Snug Harbor is beautiful Von Briesen Park, adjacent to the bridge. Don't miss the $5 million Chinese Scholar's Garden with its stunning flowers, tiny waterfalls, and bridges, nestled within the Staten Island Botanical Gardens, a great outdoor wedding venue.

DiS is in Norway once again for the second Hove Festival - find our coverage of the first (featuring Amy Winehouse, Slayer, 65daysofstatic, Ludacris, My Chemical Romance, The Killers, The Gossip, Mastodon and Bright Eyes) here. In our first diary from the site, near Arendal on the Norwegian coast, Sam Lewis brings us word on The Cool Kids, Les Savy Fav and Jay-Z.
After a bumpy, cosy Ryanair flight we land in Torp. No one is really sure where Torp is. We buy little Norwegian beers and sit on a tiny, barren patch of grass, waiting in the afternoon sun. Eventually a minibus arrives to collect us from the airport. Dutifully we pile in; head bowed I feel like a schoolboy again, as the van full of journos sets off. The rowdier lads gravitate towards the back (naturally), all hooting with pleasure as the DVD for the journey comes on – Old School Rock. The driver seems delighted with his selection; sadly the novelty value wears off almost immediately, and for over an hour the likes of Status Quo drench me in a thick layer of 'heaviosity', the music infiltrating my truncated sleep. Outside the Norwegian countryside rolls by, miles of tall pine trees and dense, craggy grey rocks.
Hove is run with an almost militarist efficiency, gleaming local kids shooting past us on quad bikes as we enter the site. The people here all look preternaturally, unfairly healthy – smooth skin and luscious blonde hair. We're taken to our cabin, a semi-hut near the main stage. It feels like the setting for some strange sitcom, NME, DiS, Artrocker all living cheek by jowl for a week. The site is bordered by more of those same sturdy pines; through them, at the back of the house, you can make out patches of the sea, a deep, surreal shade of blue. There are long swings in the trees; you feel that in England this would tempt broken necks and fractured limbs, but here beautiful girls sway playfully in them. One of them almost careers into me, a bright Converse swooshing past my head as I misjudge her swing.
The Cool Kids
- - -
The Cool Kids are the first act we see, kitted out in their usual attire, all high tops and shades. The sound system is surprisingly good, the bass thriving in the big speakers. The band takes it all in their stride - natural, confident showmen supported by a bass punch that lends them even more swagger than on record. There's an instant rapport with the crowd, almost all wearing similar matching day-glo blues brothers glasses and American Apparel-esque gear.
We rush over to see Les Savy Fav on the 'amphitheatre' stage (pictured), the grass behind the standing area sloped upwards, the whole area bracketed by more of those selfsame lush trees. It's the first time I've seen the band; despite knowing how they're supposed to be a great live act I'm still surprised by how much I enjoy the set. Tim Whathisface strides the stage dressed like a perverse superhero, tight lycra pants, ripped vest and oversized red cape. He commandeers an audience member's bike, before running into the woods and crawling under the plastic tarpaulin that covers the ground. At the end of the set he stands proudly on a box in the middle of the crowd, imploring crowd members to sing along. In response, thick, slurred Norwegian accents howl back at him, "Are you sick of being pretty?!"
Les Savy Fav
- - -
It's then onto the main attraction: Jay-Z. The main stage area is completely packed, a delighted buzz flying off the crowd as the big screens show the man being driven to the edge of the stage in a blacked-out Hummer. He plays with a full band: it's all highly professional, the backing group appropriately wearing suits. You feel it's a set that's been catered for a European festival audience, the presence of the live band taking most of the edge off the music, the constant use of samples (here we get snippets of AC/DC, Winehouse and The Prodigy) lending the set an jukebox air. If it's an attempt to make it less 'threatening', less 'gangster', and I suppose it works. Glastonbury shouldn't have anything to worry about.
- - -
Animal Collective arrive on the 'amphitheatre' at one in the morning. Already the daylight has receded to a twilight, the sky adopting a luscious, murky green colour. Animal Collective work through a typical set, each track bleeding into another, the rhythm constant, ebbing and flowing as the night progresses. In amongst the freeform, dissonant noise you can make out 'Fireworks', 'Banshee Beat' and even little moments lifted from Panda Bear's Person Pitch. It's the most intense performance I've seen from them, the music frighteningly imaginative. As the band continue their exploration of flux and harmony, so the sky shifts tone in response; by the end of the set the area is crowned with a slight, haunting purple.

So I thought I'd put a link to a list I did before the operation of my favorite movies about the Irish, or in a few cases Irish-Americans. I could probably do a better job if I did some research, but I thought I'd just link to it as it was to show where I was at a few years back.

Lal--You're not alone in remembering Rita Tushingham. How could you not fall for her in "A Taste Of Honey"?
And if you look her up in Wikipedia, you'll see that she's still gorgeous.

Thanks for that tip Bob. Man, can't be many of us left who remember her and had a crush on her eh?
- March 17, 2012 at 11:24:00 AM EDT
Lal--That's a tough call, but I'd bet that most of the people we used to know in the mid to late 60s would still remember her--that is,if they're still around. And remember too that she was Lara and Yuri's daughter in the film of "Dr. Zhivago," though it was a very small part--they didn't want Rita to show-up Julie Christie, I suspect.

BERLIN- Stephen Decatur's girl's varsity soccer team will hope to ride the momentum of a five-game winning streak into tonight's post-season opener against Atholton in the first round of the Class 3A-East playoffs.
The Seahawks finished the regular season last Thursday with a stunning 3-2 win over Queen Anne's for their fifth straight win and sixth of the last seven. Julia Finecey led Decatur with two goals and Charlotte Deck added a third to lead the Seahawk offense, but the big story was goalkeeper Leigh Ann Flounlacker, who recorded a remarkable 22 saves in the contest.
The win over Queen Anne's continued a strong run to the playoffs for Decatur, winners of their last five games. The late run included shutout wins over Mardela and Bennett, which could bode well for the Seahawks.
For Decatur to advance in the state tournament, it will likely need Flounlacker and the defense to continue their recent dominance. Like the other Decatur sports teams, the girls' soccer team has moved up to Class 3A this year and will face stiffer competition than in years past.
The Seahawks finished the regular season with a 9-3 record and garnered the number-four seed in the Class 3A-East bracket and will face the 13-seed Atholton tonight at home. If Decatur prevails, it will get another home game early next week against the winner of Reservoir (5) against Northeast (12).
The move to Class 3A changes the post-season landscape for Decatur, which will not face its familiar rivals on the Eastern Shore in the playoffs. Other teams such as Parkside, Bennett, Queen Anne's and Kent Island, for example, are still in Class 2A and each of those teams earned a first-round bye in their playoff brackets. To their credit, the Seahawks earned a four-seed in Class 3A, which is no small feat, but will have to play a first-round game to advance.

Welcome to Illinois Nut & Candy
Thanks soo much. Really made our Purim complete.
Hi David,
Yesterday I came by to pickup one of my Purim packages that came back due to my giving you the wrong address. I had gotten nice feedback from my clients and I had no doubt the chocolate would be delicious but I was not prepared for the very nice package prsentation. The ribbon with my company logo, name and Happy Purim was a very a great touch. You made a "nice" idea into a great marketing and customer relations program.There were clients I haven't been able to connect with via phone or email but after they received the Purim package contacted me.
All the people at the store I spoke with about list etc were most pleasant and helpful. It was a pleasure to work with you and your staff.
Bottom line, thank you for providing a quality and timely product. I hope to do this again next year.
All the best,
Thanks to all of you for perfect (and early) shipment of chocolate turkey. Good work and Happy Thanksgiving!
David! You were correct! There was about 1 lb of cashews left from my HS reunion. It was an awesome event, and I thank you for your assistance!
I had the pleasure of going to your store for the first time this week and I wanted to tell you how great your staff is. Every single one of them was very helpful and generous with the samples. Your store is great and you have a wonderful selection. I will be recommending your store to all of my friends. I can't wait until the next time I'm back in Skokie so that I can shop there again. Until then I will order on line.
Thank you so much David.

This study will examine people who have pain or fatigue symptoms with a known or unknown diagnosis to determine eligibility for other research studies. No treatment is offered under this protocol.
People 18 years of age or older with symptoms of pain and fatigue may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo standard examinations needed to diagnose or evaluate their symptoms. The results of the test are used to screen subjects for possible participation in other Nursing Institute studies. The study requires from one to three visits at NIH over 12 months for procedures that may include the following:
- Medical history, physical examination and questionnaires related to symptoms and quality of life.
- Blood tests
- Electrocardiogram
- Tender point testing. Pressure is applied to areas of the shoulder, hip, neck, chest, elbow and knee to identify tenderness.

This screening protocol is designed to facilitate patient recruitment to the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) clinical research studies on pain and fatigue syndromes. This protocol will also validate the newly developed Saligan Fatigue Questionnaire. Patients must meet the specific requirements of an IRB-approved research study; this protocol serves as a first step for evaluating patients for possible inclusion in a natural history or intervention protocol.
Candidates will be screened with medical history/physical examination, routine laboratory tests, and questionnaires. The physical examination may include the standardized tender point assessment as specified in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) to diagnose fibromyalgia, measurements of pain (allodynia, hyperalgesia, and hyperpathia), edema, autonomic dysfunction (altered skin color, temperature, or sudomotor activity), and extent of musculoskeletal dysfunction. It will also assess the patients level of pain, fatigue, and quality of life by providing questionnaires for the patients to complete. When the screening is completed, patients will be informed of their options to participate in other NINR interventional or observational clinical research studies. Patients who are not eligible for these studies will be informed of alternative treatments. No treatment is offered under this protocol. Information collected in this protocol will be used to determine eligibility to other NINR protocols.

Space is the most important element of your home's interior. You can fill your living room with the most beautiful furniture around, but it wouldn't be much of a "living room" if you couldn't actually live in it due to an inefficient use of space. This scenario applies to your kitchen— perhaps even more so.
The kitchen is where most of the housework gets done. Compared to the living room or bedroom, the kitchen sees more work done in a day than both those rooms combined. Smaller kitchens pose an even bigger challenge, since you'll need to make judicious use of the limited space available.
Below are a few tips on how you can make a tiny kitchen as functional as possible – and have a bit of fun, while you're at it!

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Vonta Leach's job is to get involved in a collision so Ray Rice won't.
The Baltimore Ravens are in the Super Bowl in part because of Leach's ability to pave a path for Rice to follow. If that involves sticking his helmet into the chest of a 300-pound defensive lineman, then so be it.
``It's just my job,'' said Leach, a three-time Pro Bowl fullback. ``Everybody's got to do their part for us to be successful, and that's my role.''
Leach serves as an escort for Rice and backup running back Bernard Pierce. In 2010, he opened up holes for Arian Foster in Houston. Not coincidentally, Rice and Foster both earned invitations to the Pro Bowl by following Leach's lead.
``Vonta is a fullback, the most under-recognized position in the game because of all the physical abuse he does to his body to see another man shine,'' said Rice, who ran for 1,143 yards during the regular season. ``The fullback position is not a pretty job. One thing about it is, Vonta wants that responsibility, to go out there and just knock people out for me and Bernard to be successful. He's done it for many backs over the years. Look at what he's done for Arian Foster. They all can vouch for him. Linebackers around the league know he's coming for you.''
Leach broke into the NFL in 2004 with Green Bay, but he didn't really make a name for himself until he played for Houston. In 2008 he cleared room for Steve Sloan, and two years later he helped make Foster the NFL's leading rusher.
His work often goes unnoticed, but is not unappreciated. Leach was an All-Pro in 2010 and 2011, and he's made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons.
Leach didn't play in the NFL's all-star game this season because he was preparing for something more important: a Super Bowl matchup Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.
``Vonta Leach is a good fullback. He is an All-Pro fullback, a Pro Bowl fullback, and really I almost feel like he is the last of the dying breed of what you can call a real fullback,'' 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis said. ``He is a tough guy and a guy that every play you have to come with it.''
Sometimes, Leach actually gets to run with the football. He carried nine times during the regular season, gaining 32 yards and scoring a touchdown. He has four rushes for 14 yards and a TD in the postseason. But most of the time, he's the one clearing room for someone else.
A year ago, the Ravens ran for 1,996 yards and 15 touchdowns. Rice gained 1,364 yards and scored 12 TDs. Those numbers were slightly lower this year - Baltimore had 1,901 yards rushing, and Rice score nine TDs on the ground - in part because Joe Flacco has been so effective passing the ball.
``I think last year we probably were a little bit better than this year, but we're a more balanced team,'' Leach said. ``Teams don't know right now if we're going to run or pass the ball.''
Leach was perfectly happy in Houston, but before the 2011 season the Texans decided he was too expensive to keep.
``My five years there was a great experience,'' Leach said. ``I never had a run-in with the coaches or players. It's just that when the time came for me to get some money, for me to get my piece of the pie, they just didn't offer it to me.''
He quickly signed with Baltimore as an unrestricted agent. It was a move that ultimately benefited both teams.
``I'm very happy with the success I've had with the Ravens,'' he said. ``The reason I came is, the Ravens are one of those teams you're always talking about being in the running for the Super Bowl. Now here we are, and we have a chance to win it.''
Only the 49ers stand in the way. Come Sunday, with Rice right behind him, Leach will be looking to knock down anyone wearing a red jersey.

In addition to being able to earn miles in Economy Class, passengers on Cathay Pacific and Dragonair flights earn miles at a rate of 150%, 125% and 110% of actual miles flown when travelling in First Class, Business Class and Premium Economy Class, respectively.

The slots parlor will be built at the site of the existing Plainridge Racecourse harness track in Plainville.
BOSTON — The Massachusetts Gaming Commission made it official Friday and awarded Penn National the first license under the state's 2011 expanded gambling law.
A day after conditionally approving Penn National Gaming for the lone slots parlor license in Massachusetts, the commission finalized the vote Friday morning, paving the way for the new facility at the existing Plainridge Racecourse harness track in Plainville.
"I want to congratulate Penn National and welcome them to Massachusetts," commission chair Stephen Crosby said.
Penn National president and CEO Tim Wilmott said he accepts all the Gaming Commission's terms and conditions. He expects to open a $225 million slots parlor at Plainridge by spring 2015.
He planned to visit Plainridge later in the day Friday to meet with the track workers, and expects to be onsite again Monday to meet with his construction team. Penn National projects the facility will support approximately 500 permanent jobs and 1,000 construction jobs.
The planned Plainridge Park Casino will feature a new 106,000-square-foot facility integrated with the existing harness racing track. Amenities will include entertainment space, restaurants and 1,250 slot machines. Former football star Doug Flutie has signed on as a partner in a new sports bar and grill.
Unlike the three resort casinos the state plans to license, the slots parlor will not feature table games.
Wilmott said he is unfazed by the prospect of competition and pointed to Penn National's experience in crowded markets in other states.
"We do know there will be competition here," Wilmott said. "We operate in a lot of markets where there is intense competition. We think we are going to have a lot of market to prosper in."
The Gaming Commission's move to officially award the license Friday ended a week of evaluations and deliberations.
"I am going to vote in favor of this," commission member James McHugh said moments before the vote Friday.
McHugh voiced support Thursday for rival applicant Cordish Cos.' proposal to build a slots parlor in Leominster.
"Today's the beginning of the next phase," McHugh said. "We have chosen an excellent applicant, an excellent licensee, with an excellent gaming plan and excellent history."
Penn National and Plainridge edged out the Cordish Cos. and Raynham Park.
Raynham Park had partnered with Greenwood Racing in an attempt to build at the site of the former Raynham greyhound track.
The licensing came as casino opponents wage a legal battle, fighting to place an initiative to repeal expanded gambling law on the statewide ballot.
"The process for selecting casinos and slot parlors is no less lopsided, loaded with politics and the influence of deep casino pockets than the legislative process which made this debacle possible," Repeal the Casino Deal chairman John Ribeiro said in a statement.
Wilmott pledged to oppose any potential ballot initiative and said Penn National has won political victories elsewhere in the country.
"We're not going to slow down our construction process because of this threat," he said.
During the application process, both Penn National and Plainridge overcame a series of setbacks. Penn National saw its initial proposal for a gambling facility collapse, first in Springfield, then in Tewksbury.
Plainridge, meanwhile, saw its own bid falter after a Gaming Commission review accused former track president Gary Piontkowski of using $1 million of the track's funds for personal use.
After breaking ties with Piontkowski, Plainridge formed a partnership with Penn National. Under the agreement, Penn National will buy the racetrack.
The slots license is good for five years with an option to renew.
Once the other gambling licenses are awarded later this year, the Gaming Commission will shift its focus.
"Our primary job is to be the primary regulators," Crosby said. "We are in the midst of writing those regulations now."

Sunday Sweets: More Potter!
Once a week here on Cake Wrecks we post the best of the best of the best cakes out there. And most of the time, the comments go a little something like this:
"Oooooohh pretty!"
Last week, however, sparked a debate rarely seen in these parts, and instead of comments we got seven page dissertations on popular 20th century children's literature and its effect on modern culture and resulting religious, racial and socioeconomic implications. And guess who had to moderate all those comments? That's right: me.
So this week, we're going to look at some more Potter sweets, but we're gonna do it a bit differently. This week we're gonna look at the pretty pictures, and when we're done, we're gonna do our comments Twitter style, meaning 140 letters or less. Capisce? Everybody with me? Okay then. Here goes.
As always, if you'd like to nominate a Sweet you can send it to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.

2011 Chevy Equinox Problems
I read it fine. Caps mean your yelling. The guys upset...and understandably so. Actually caps grab my eye more so and catch my interest... Were all disgusted with GM and we all have our own way of venting....0
Hi Sarah,
I sent you all of my information and the service request # that I have with GM corporate. I got a auto-response from you a few weeks ago and then a reply from you that you would continue to let me work with GM corporate.
Concerned Mother0
UPDATE - 2011 V6 AWD Chevy Equinox!
My vehicle has been in shop at Greenwood Chevrolet for two weeks and 3 days having the Cylinder head replaced because it was bad (so they told me). Today they called me and told me it was ready to be picked up.
I returned my rental vehicle and showed up to pick up my vehicle. They told me they replaced the bad cylinder head and the new one is on there and it's good as new. My husband told me to get the bad cylinder so he could look at it. When I asked Roger (the service manager) for it - he told me that they couldn't give it to me because they have to give it back for warranty purposes. I said "Ok, then can you show it to me and I'll take a picture of it to send my husband." He said he would go take the pic - went into the back room for close to 10-15 minutes.
When he returned this is the picture he showed me (see below). This is supposedly the "BAD" cylinder head they took off my vehicle.
I drive home and notice there is no difference in the performance of the vehicle. It's actually running worse than it was when I turned it in. I find it strange, but get home and show the picture to my husband. He immediately jumps up, gets a flashlight and goes under the hood of the car - he starts packing my son and I in the vehicle and says we're going back to the dealership RIGHT NOW!
Come to find out the paint on the bolts for the exhaust manifold is still there from the manufacturer. This cylinder head that is on my car right now has never been taken off.
We explained everything to the sales manager and he was in shock. This dealership never even removed my original cylinder head and that picture is (i think) of a brand new cylinder head with some bad valves placed in it.
I'm in such shock I don't even know what to say. I've been lied to, knowingly been put back in an unsafe vehicle (more than once) and they have committed fraud. God knows who else they've done this to.
The sales manager has asked that we come tomorrow to speak with the owner, but before we do that I'm heading over my local newspaper, going to 7 on your side news channel, I'm going to post my story on every major Social Media forum in the country, I am going to send my story to news reporters all over the state and I am personally sending a note to the CEO and board members of GM.
Chevy - You should be ashamed of yourself! It sickens me to think of what could have happened to my son and I because you lied about work you never performed, gave me a work order for it, then lied to me again when you gave me a picture of a brand new cylinder head.
I'm sick over this. You disgust me!0
I had mine replaced as well. When I pulled my car out of the garage the next morning, the garage floor was covered in oil. The cracked the oil pan during the repair....
45 days later - problem is back and truck is back at the dealer...
I cannot wait until this lease is over - this trick is a piece of junk!!!0
Good morning sueven,
We're sorry to hear that you've had to bring your truck back in for further repairs. If you would like for us to check into anything further with your dealership, please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] with more information (please include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, a brief summary of the situation, and the name of your involved dealership).
All the best,
GM Customer Service0
I have just gotten my Equinox back from RK Chevrolet. This is the second "major" repair, on a vehicle that now has only 25,000 miles on it. First, I had the cam sensors, timing chain etc replaced... at 15,000 miles! Now, the transmission has been opened up and worked on. It was not functioning, while I was out of town on business.
Now, while RK does fix the problems, and my vehicle works fine when I get it back, we all know this is a short term fix. It is quite apparent, by now, that the 2011 Equinox has a defective drive train. At the very least, a high percentage of these vehicles are lemons. GM needs to act quickly, before the media does. I am waiting for one more problem, then I will be done with this vehicle.
GM could, should and likely will respond with, at least, a favorable trade option for the newer, corrected model. I would think that this would show confidence in their product and compassion there customer. If not, this will be an ugly time for GM, and a loss of customer loyalty and trust.0
luvmynox Posts: 1I was having some experience with hard shifting, called the dealer quoted them the service bulletin fond on this blog. I had my problem resolved with no hassles at the dealership and now mine is running smooth, in fact I hardly notice the shifts. I drive highway and city each day and have almost 60,000 kms. This vehicle has more than pleased me, I traded in an 08 Torrent and have to say that I am experiencing better fuel economy, comfort and little problems when compared to my Torrent and the dreaded Escape that I had before then. Mcuh better than other cars/dealers than I have personally experience with in the past (Mazda,Ford,Chrysler and Toyota).0
We're glad to hear that you've had success with your dealership getting the shifting concern resolved! Here's wishing you many more happy miles and a great holiday season!
Sarah, GM Customer Service0
Dont hold your breath...GM will respond and run circles around you. My 2011 equinox needed a new motor because it was consuming oil...and multiple other problems ranging from sensors, cellinoid, cam, fuel pump, etc. I bought this vehicle brand new and I refuse to have my brand new motor pulled apart. So I traded...the most GM WOULD GIVE ME WAS $3000... Whoopy dooo...i put $1500 cash down and 18 months worth of payments totaling$8000 onto this vehicle...the $3000 basically added insult to injury. So basically I lost $6500 and gained 28 months more of a truck payment. The district manager actually had the nerve to fight with me and I finally hung on her. She did her job well...she gained the company another sale by ripping me off.
Oh and as far as Sarah the GM responder to all our complaints... I wonder how she feels at the end of the day after acting concerned and lying to all of us...OR maybe she is just a computer responding...
I wish you better luck than I had with GM...0
It is of no comfort to see I am not alone. Bought a NEW '11 LT. Within a few months, get engine light on and burning smell. Pull over and they had to tow me to dealership. Stranded me at home with no loaner for almost a week. Couldn't find anything they said. Then rough shifting, transmission slipping (others in the car when happens, but no pattern). Told me for 1st engine light issue I had to use PREMIUM BRAND of gas. I asked if Shell was what they considered a premium brand. Tell me on the slippage that it was because I drove with the Eco feature on. Turn it off they say. Still slips. Not as much, but still, and it is hard shifting...jerks you and a very hard feeling when riding. Now engine light is on again. Within a block of home car stalled. Stalled twice more while driving to dealership about a mile away. THEY told me to drive it there. Hook it up to the little box under the driver side and nothing shows. Said they're gonna have to hook it up to another testing machine and will call sometime monday. Again they start with the brand of gas and other nonsense. If they can't find it and fix it, I'm trading in for a different make. Will NEVER buy Chevrolet again. Oh, did i mention that it has 9K miles on it, and constant problems since the check engine light the first 3K miles. I'm going to lose money, but I will have a reliable vehicle.0
Do not leave the dealership without a LOANER or RENTAL car. You purchased this car with a warranty, expect them to take care of you! If you let them walk all over you, they will. The transmission module (internal they say) was replaced on mine. The cam sensors were replaced on mine, the timing chain was replaced on mine etc...etc...etc. I bought it new, and I told them to get me a rental, which they did. Every time, with the exception of normal maintenance, I was given a vehicle. I even insisted on an SUV, and received one.
I think you have a bad dealership there! GM, at least has attempted to handle this, my dealership (RK Chevrolet in Virginia Beach Va.) has been very good. Complain to GM, let them know what is going on. If you do not get help, come back on here and let's blast them! We all need to make it loud, through local and national news media. First, however, let GM know.0
You describe my stalling and slipping issue to a T. It blows my mi mind that the same exact issue has occurred on all of our 2011 Equinox's that have vented her. Heck, we should all file a class action suit against GM. They should not be allowed to get away with this...0
CapeCod Posts: 117Mine is a 4 cyc and my 2 major complaints are still the 'start-up' noise and the not up to advertised gas mileage. I keep my fingers crossed the 'start-up' noise will not turn into something major later... so far 18000-20000 miles. I see now the 6 cyl owners have joined the site with their own problems! My wife is happy with the car... I am disappointed. I wish I had done a bit my work getting a better deal on a CR-V, RAV, or Sorento. At the time Equinox WAS the best deal but the disappointing mpg has likely reversed my good deal!0
michwood Posts: 3I could just copy previous post and paste them here. Very frustrated. I do not have time to keep taking my 2011 equinox back to the dealer to have it fixed. We traded a 10 year old Isuzu Trooper that had almost 200,000 miles which was more reliable than this. Cannot wait to trade this in for something other than a Chevy. We are on our way to take it back... Again! Major hesitation issues... Again! Scared it will leave me stranded with kids. Already had the timing belt issue, the hard shifting issue, hesitation issue..... Oh and the air conditioner decides it does not want to work sometimes. Hate to make payments on something that is not reliable! Chevy, I work hard for my money and don't enjoy wasting it. I don't have an extra car sitting around to use when this happens and can't afford a rental! So glad to know we are not alone. Why don't they recall these things if multiple people are having the same issues? How do you know if you have a lemon?0
rzawie Posts: 1I just had my 2011 equinox towed to the dealership because the transmission went out. And conveniently my warranty just expired because I am over on mileage. I also had timing belt issues and the ac/heat fan went out under warranty. I am hoping GM will cover my transmission. If not, I will never get another Chevy and will trade it in for a Volkswagen.0
We're sorry to hear that you've had these troubles with your new Equinox, ohmyheadaches! Have you head back from the dealership today already? If we can check into anything further for you, please be sure to contact us via email at [email protected] (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, a brief summary of the situation, and the name of your dealership).

Oh, I didn't leave without a loaner. put me in a 2013 Nox. Called today and said that they replaced the intake camshaft position solenoid...it was sticking in open. Did a lil research, and seems there was a bulletin in June 2011 to reset computer for CEL issues, then changed to RECALL in Aug 2011. I was in the first time with tow to deal for CEL at 3K miles and burning smell. They said they found nothing, but went ahead and reset computers. They certainly didn't find the recall notice.
I don't drive much. It is now around a year later, and an additional 5K miles on odometer, and then the stall/CEL/stall/stall on way to dealer. They should have done this work the first time!!!
He tells me to keep the loaner until they finish their check. Sent it to the "only transmission guy on staff" and he will have it up to 3 days checking for the slipping, rough shifting issue.
Oh, and I am in '11 LT FWD, not AWD, so is that why they missed it the first time? Recall for AWD and not FWD. A little common sense would tell them the issues were the same....the exact things described in recall bulletin are what I have experienced plus the transmission issues.
So I will wait to see what they say about transmission. I plan to drive it up to 2.5 months and see if I have the same issues. If so, I'll explore legal avenues available for remedy. I will be saving extra toward downpayment and go to a different brand. I am not going to get stalled out on TX highways or 6 lane roads in this thing. I am not going to pay hefty repair/replacement bills down the line due to faulty engineering/mechanical issues.0
I found Recall 11195A that fit my symptoms to a T, and guess what they replaced today? The camshaft intake thing referenced in the bulletin.
Now I'm going to research 11195B to see what it says, since that is referenced here.
I'll let you know what, if anything, they say is wrong with transmission. We are not alone, and GM needs to make this right. I'm just going to run away and not look back, but you can bet my big mouth is going to be flappin in the breeze about this.0
I think it's sad that I bought this 2011 Chevrolet, because I have always loved GM products. Now, with 25000 miles on it, I have made my wife go back to her old 2007 Mazda CX7. I don't trust the Equinox, which has broken down twice, been in for engine and transmission repair and is still "iffy"! My 85,000 mile Mazda... it needs a CV axle, but I trust it. sad day for GM, very sad day for "buy American"!0
dmitrano Posts: 3This car is a lemon we have oil problem ,gas problem and transmission problems , Chevrolet or GM will not fix it.
We purchased Chevrolet Equinox 2011 on 08/26/2010 new. On 12/13/2010, the car was creating a strong ticking sound. I checked the engine's oil and discovered the oil measuring dipstick was completely dry I added a quart of oil to the engine I then, checked the oil once again and the oil was still not retaining or appearing on the dipstick as it should have.
The car's mileage at that time was 6,058.00 We had the car serviced at Lannan Chevrolet in Woburn Ma on 12/14/2010, and 02/28/2011, 4/11/2011 and 5/24/2011.
The service department checked the oil level within the Equinox and found it was 2 quarts lower than the quart I had previously added on the first visit.
The second visit the car had a mileage of 9639.00 and the same problem for the other visits, now because the visits were every 2000 + or - miles the oil consumption was between 1 to 1.5 quarts of oil missing plus the high gas consumption.
I purchased a new car because I needed a reliable car, since my old s.u.v. was using a lot a gas and burning oil .Chevrolet was adverting this car as the best gas mileage,32 MPG On Highway and 22 MPG in the city, on board computer give as the reading of 20.9 average MPG.
Lannan Chevrolet in Woburn add oil to the engine every visits we had, if they did not
Then will be 3 1/2 quarters missing of oil, for the7000 miles oil change.0
Your motor is consuming oil. Mine did the same and they were going to drop a new motor in it but I chose to trade it because I did not want anymore problems. You need to have a different dealer look at your vehicle. I can't believe GM is ignoring your issue!!! This is major!!!0
Have you already initiated contact with our Customer Assistance Center? If you haven't and would like for us to check into this further for you, please contact us via email at [email protected] with more details (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, and a summary of the situation so far).

Just wondering: Did you take a hit on the resale value/trade in value due to the service issues you've had?0
I think GM needs to get serious about fixing the problems on the 211 Equinox. I, for one, am not going to let this go on much longer. Wit todays social media, we are able to work together to get the work out. GM failed to properly test this drivetrain!
Now, after all the complaints, what are you doing to fix it? Your dealerships don't even know about the recalls or "codes" that GM has sent out. My dealership has been good (RK Chev.), but the car is unreliable.
You have our names, you know our problems... fix it. I believe a buyback of full value, in the form of a NEW car credit would suffice. If we apply this towards a new GM product, we are happy, you keep a customer and this social media problem is nipped in the bud.0
Oh I took a huge hit. Trade in was $16,000. GM gave me an additional $3000 which basically added insult to injury. And I put $1500 cash down when I initially bought this vehicle. Then there was over $8000 in car payments that I paid in the 18 months , during most of which my vehicle was in and out of the shop because they couldn't figure anything out until they noticed when the did an oil change that it was consuming. When i traded and tried to ask for more money i got into a huge argument with the district manager who talked circles around me, very rudely i might add, telling me $3000 is the most GM gives anyone. So.... Basically GM is making a whole lot of money with all these lemons they are selling. It makes me sick to see all these posts that this is such a huge problem and that GM continually gets away with it.0
call me this morning tell me they fixed the CEL by replacing the intake camshift solenoid. Knew that. Then tell me they replaced stretch bolts on transmission because the valve body wasn't secured. Some bolts over torque, some under. Said it runs like a dream now. Maybe. I will see. If it does, how long will it last? I'm still going to run to another brand, just not immediately, unless this thing keeps going in shop in next month or two.
I know I will take a BIG hit, but I don't trust the dealer, nor do I trust this auto.
And I thought I was buying a safe and reliable car.0
I sure you have better luck than I had.
They too replaced my cam selinoid...along with the fuel pump and 5 sensors. I also do not trust the dealer... To be honest with you, thinking about it now...the dealer really rushed me through the trade in process, most likely so I wouldn't sue them. I'm sure some poor sole is now encountering my issues and GM saved a whole bunch more money because they got out of putting a new motor in. Sadly I didn't have the time to NOT have a vehicle...otherwise I would have pursued legal action, tv stations and media to bash their brand. I have a friend whose wife's jeep stalled while she was driving it...he threatened then with legal, conracting his state rep and reporting to the media...JEEP gave him back every cent of that vehicle. I guess GM doesn't give two $#&%'@...0
Welcome to the club!! The only advantage that I seem to have it s responsive service department.
This truck is the biggest piece if crap! I have never gotten over 19 miles per gallon.
At this point I hate having my kids in the car as I feel like it is not all that safe.
So glad that I only leased this truck and can give the piece of crap back at the end of the lease!0

I'm just curious if this is still allowed. I remember long ago there was an email link to send pics and such, but now it is gone.
With the addition of the forum to this site, are further updates in the way of pictures and such not really wanted on the main page?
