User Reviews
The community thinks...
Dealership is below standard by Erin, Willoughby Ohio on 05/08/2004. Trim: 2000 Kia Spectra GSX, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Looks cool driving by, nice tail lights. Like all the extra standard features. Great warranty (you'll need it). Major engine stuff is reliable. I don't freak when my kids eat in the backseat, because it's probably going to fall apart soon anyway.
Cons: Detail stuff falls apart ALL THE TIME. My yucky dealership knows me on a first name basis. Trunk release never worked, had fixed 5 times before I gave up on it. Muffler replaced three times in first 15,000 miles. Dashboard bubbled up in the sun, had replaced, and the dealership couldn't fit the passenger airbag cover on correctly after trying three times. For a while, the interior light didn't work. Dealership tried four times to fix and couldn't, even replacing the whole thing. Then one day, it just started working again. Replaced bald tires after 25,000. Rear passenger window control just fell right into the door!!! The list goes on and on....
Overall review: Overall reliable. Gets me where I need to go. NEEDS ROUTINE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON TIME. No letting it go an extra month like in a ford. Poor appreciation...by the time I pay it off, it will be worth maybe three dollars. Dealership ripped me off...wish I would have paid closer attention to the papers I signed. I would probably buy another Kia, just not a first year model, and I would research the dealership alot better.

Ask me anything
Hill repeats at the end of a 100 mile ride… Ouch.
And not the Alps either.
A week today and it will be all over. Just the time trial up alp d'huez the next day….
It's customary to visit the place you got married on the last training ride before a big event.
High Easter.
Last training ride before La Marmotte - 171km into Essex and back. Legs check, bike check. And now for the taper and lots of carbs…
Second time at hog hill this year. 26 mins on the nose, a personal best. Only beaten by pointy hats and proper TT bikes.
Graeme Fife is a friend, he supported the Fairbridge team on their Raid Pyreneen adventure in 2009. He's a writer, a very good one. And here are a few of his best words.
The greatest battle is not physical but psychological. The demons telling us to give up when we push ourselves to the limit can never be silenced for good.
They must always be answered by the quiet, the steady dignity that simply refuses to give in.
Courage. We all suffer. Keep going.
Less than two weeks to go until La Marmotte. The legs are ready a grand raised for kids with autism.
Bring on the suffereing.
A month and counting…
Less than 29 days to go and almost £900 raised when you include gift aid. Not bad but could be much better. Thanks to those who have already donated; for those that haven't please do so. No money will finance the trip; it all goes to a good cause!
And what about the training..? Well, could be better. The weather might be a good thing for gardeners but not us cyclists. And getting knocked off the bike didn't help as still getting headaches from the whiplash. Still, two 100 mile rides on the bounce inItalywere brilliant and other long rides, time trials and racing planned so things should work out.

Just got back from riding Milan - San Remo. Amazing weather, food, people and time on the bike. Tan lines sharpened…
The Giro
Things get interesting on Saturday with the start of the Giro, the best of the three Grand Tours in my opinion. Its French counterpoint (Le Tour), better known and more scrutinised as it is, long ago became a victim of its own success. Yes it's still a great race but the opportunity for surprise seldom arises when the racing is controlled to the turn of a wheel by the big boys and their teams. The odd breakaway on a lumpy transitional stage is all that can be expected in terms of true excitement, and that's only when the breakaway boys are way down on GC or have played the wind well.
As for the high mountains, the steep gradients and suffering that make or break any yellow or pink clad contender. Yes, they still entertain but, like the rest of the race, they are contained by race radios and team tactics. A new kid on the block will usually show their legs each, often in terms of the white jersey competition, but that's about it. Next year they will marked like the rest of the favourites, their opportunity to shine curtailed
The Giro is different. Yes the big teams try to stamp their mark in just like Le Tour but the element for surprise still exists often as a result of the chosen parcours. In recent years the route have been so tough, mountain stages running back to back, that the last week resembles a true war of attrition as the riders' legs and minds fatigue. But this year it's different, the route more human under the guidance of a new race director. The mountains are still likely to decide the winner – the last week in the Dolomites is a best – but the winds ofDenmarkand the final TT could still shake up and decide how who triumphs inMilan. There is even something for the sprinters; Super Mario would have been pleased had he of made the return that he talked about earlier this season.
One of the defining moments of the Giro for me is not a lone breakaway, mountain top finish or breakneck sprint. It's a lingering shot of the peloton tinkering along, riding tempo on a transitional stage. The speed is no higher than your average Sunday club run and some of the riders are eating ice-cream. They are not racing because they have decided – collectively – that they do want to. Now would that happen on Le Tour!

Six months in… two to go
I've been training for six months now I guess and things are going pretty well. By that I mean I've put the miles in, shed a few pounds and feel pretty good. I've not exactly employed a scientific approach to this event; no looking for V02 max or power thresholds like some have the time and money to do but when tested (long rides, early season comp) things look… pretty good. I was tested for V02 max a couple of years ago and scored highly (64) so the system is there, and now I feel fitter.
In the day of power meters and compression socks it seems a little old fashioned to just clock up the miles but that exactly what I've done. And it's been planned, it has to be to manage the amount of training you have to stick in around a full time job and two young kids. To date, I've averaged around 600-900 km a month, based largely on commuting. Not a huge amount but the grind can be tiring. Still, clocking up 5,000 odd km in preparation so far is not to be sniffed at, especially when peppered with a few long rides of 80-100 miles. Not enough of them mind!
So what does the next couple of months hold? Well, the commute will be extended to include some local short, sharp climbs. Will also get two 100 + milers in during May and a couple in June as well as two days in Italy riding from Milan to San Remo courtesy of Action Challenge. Add to that time trailing at Hog Hill and I should be ready. I need to start using the Airborne rather than the single speed as there's no point riding most of your miles on a bike that your not using for the event, especially when the geometry and crank length is totally different. And sleep, I need to sleep to recover from the training - but ask any dad of young kids and they'll tell you that is the most difficult thing to come by.
Allez, allez…

As a FTM, I will probably be asking for gear recommendations quite often, so here is the first!
Although it is early, my husband has been really interested in strollers. I like his enthusiasm, so I figured why not decide on one now. He likes the super expensive all terrain BOB stroller, while I think something like a travel system will be more convenient for everyday use. We are looking at a used BOB to help with price so that we can purchase both.
Any advice or comments on either the BOB, its alternatives, or travel systems that you really like or dislike? Any info is appreciated!

Car-Guy Numerology2002 Is Finally Here And BMW Missed The Boat
Automotive enthusiasts around the world are getting all weak in the knees over BMW's launch of the new Mini, a German-designed, retrospectively styled interpretation of a British icon. There is no doubt that the Mini will be hugely successful and may eventually even make money for BMW, something the original Mini probably never did when it was owned by the British. But faithful BMW fanatics around the world have got to be scratching their heads over how the German carmaker could let the year 2002 arrive without making an equally exciting retro-car based on its original BMW 2002 model.
The BMW 2002 was probably the most important automobile BMW ever built. Before its arrival in the mid '60s, the Munich-based manufacturer was known for its boxer-engine motorcycles, a few odd little Isetta microcars and a range of expensive, limited-production sedans. This was a company going nowhere fast.
All of that changed, however, with the introduction of the BMW 1600-2 in 1966. Here was a robust, small two-door sedan with sophisticated independent front and rear suspension and a willing 1.6-liter overhead valve engine. It was something brand-new, and it introduced the world to the idea of a sport sedan. In 1967 BMW introduced the 1600ti, with twin Solex sidedraft carburetors as well as a front anti-roll bar, wider rims and bigger brakes.
But, this hotted-up and highly tuned 1600cc engine had trouble meeting U.S. emissions standards, and another solution was needed. It was found in the 114-bhp 2-liter engine from the company's larger 2000 series cars. This was transplanted into the 1600 chassis and introduced as the 2002 in 1968. The larger engine was all that was needed to turn the little BMW into a giant-killer, and a legend was born. The car sold very well and propelled BMW into the upper echelon of performance car manufacturers.
Most American enthusiasts probably first learned about the BMW 2002 in a 1968 issue of Car and Driver. David E. Davis, Jr. wrote one of automotive journalism's definitive car reviews when he penned "Turn your Hymnals to 2002," extolling the virtues of the newly introduced model. Read today, his review is filled with charming late-1960s references to squares and LSD and shag carpets, but the thing that is most clear is that Mr. Davis felt the little BMW was truly special. In many ways that one story was a defining moment for BMW in America, car journalism in general and automotive enthusiasts everywhere. Current owners of classic old BMW 2002s still sleep with a copy under their pillows.
Davis described the car this way: "To my way of thinking, the 2002 is one of modern civilization's all-time best ways to get somewhere sitting down." Later in his story he went on describe future BMW buyers as "pretty well-adjusted enthusiasts who want a good car, people with the sense of humor to enjoy its giant-killing performance and the taste to appreciate its mechanical excellence." That pretty well described the BMW buyer of the 1970s. It wasn't until the 1980s and '90s that BMW went after a different type of buyer, going upscale to compete with the offerings from Mercedes-Benz.
What was so good about the 2002?Remember, at the time it was introduced performance cars were either anemic British sports cars that were cramped, drafty, slow and unreliable, or huge V8-powered muscle cars that were fast in a straight line but limited in their cornering abilities. Fast, nimble and agile, the BMW 2002 sedan could outhandle sports cars and give everything but the most ferocious muscle cars a good run away from a stoplight. The only thing that came close to the BMW's performance was an Alfa Romeo, and they were both thin on the ground and even less reliable than the British cars. Best of all, the 2002 could do all of this with a spacious and comfortable cabin that had room for four with their entire complement of luggage. It was boxy with lots of glass area, almost the antithesis of the swoopy space needle styling that other companies were associating with performance.
Although the first 2002 models came with a single downdraft Solex carburetor, BMW was quick to provide quicker versions. The top of the heap was the 2002tii with mechanical fuel injection. These cars would produce 140 gross horsepower (about 125 of today's SAE horsepower) and had numerous suspension and brake upgrades. The tii stood for "touring international injection." The 2002tii was introduced in the U.S. in 1972 and offered real performance, both on the street and on the race track.

dont care until it comes out
a pop-punk band? I'll be sure to mark my calendar
My bandmates love the shit out of this band
Digging: Perfume Genius - Too Bright
this will be sweet. I hope it's catchier than the EP
I thought 'Someone That's Not You' was gonna be on here too, but it seems only 'Backup Plan' made it across.
YES! Awesome news, listened to First Things First the other day and wondered if these guys were still active. Saw them and The Wonder Years tour together like five or six years ago, nice to see them both doing big things.
"We Were Right Together and We Were Wrong Together," really is a painful song title.
Really pumped/apprehenisive for this. Wasn't really feeling the last ep all that much.

12 tax breaks that have already expired
A number of measures that cut taxes for individuals and businesses have already ended this year. Those include relief from the AMT and sales tax deductions.
This post is by The Associated Press.
While much of Washington is consumed by the debate over tax cuts scheduled to expire next year, a big package of tax breaks already expired this year.
Among the biggest, along with the cost to retroactively extend each one for 2012 and 2013:
Individual tax breaks
- Relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax. The tax is designed to ensure that wealthy people can't use tax breaks to avoid paying any federal taxes. However, it was never indexed for inflation, so Congress routinely adjusts it to keep it from imposing hefty tax increases on millions of middle-income families. Cost: $132 billion.
- State and local sales tax deduction. Taxpayers can take this itemized deduction instead of deducting state and local income taxes. It is geared for people who live in states without state income taxes: Alaska, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Florida, South Dakota, Washington, Nevada, Texas and Wyoming. Cost: $4.4 billion.
- A deduction of up to $4,000 for qualified higher education expenses: Cost: $4.2 billion.
- A tax credit for improvements to make homes more energy efficient. Cost: $2.4 billion.
- A provision that allows tax-free distributions from Individual Retirement Accounts, when used for charitable donations. People older than 70-and-a-half can make tax-free withdrawals of up to $100,000 a year from IRAs. Cost: $1.3 billion.
- A deduction for mortgage insurance premiums. Cost: $1.3 billion.
- A deduction of up to $250 for teachers who buy classroom supplies with their own money. Cost: $462 million.
- A tax credit for manufacturers and other businesses that invest in research and development. Cost: $14.3 billion.
- A tax break that allows restaurants and retail stores to write off the cost of certain capital improvements over 15 years instead of 39 years. Cost: $3.7 billion.
- An exemption that allows banks, insurance companies and other financial firms to shield the profits of foreign subsidiaries from being taxed by the U.S. Cost: $11.2 billion.
- A $1 per-gallon tax credit for businesses that use or sell biodiesel, a renewable fuel for diesel engines derived from vegetable oils and animal fats. Cost: $2.2 billion.
- A tax credit of up to $2,400 for businesses that hire people who receive benefits from a variety of government programs, including disability benefits and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. Cost: $1.8 billion.

More from MSN Money:
It's so amazing to me how easy the left gets control of the language and there by frames an issue in their favor. Taxes have a COST to the TAXPAYER. When taxes go up the COST is to the taxpayer increases. When taxes go down there is NO COST to government. It's money they don't receive. To say it COST the government when YOU get to keep more of YOUR OWN money and they get less is to say the money was theirs and they gave it to you.
If your income was fifty thousand a year, and you changed jobs and now earn forty, you didn't have to come up with ten thousand dollars and give it to anyone, you are just RECEIVING less money. AND, if you are wise, will adjust you SPENDING to accommodate the lower income.
Don't fall for the "cost the government" crap when their revenue is less for any reason. The government is an EXPENSE to YOU. And by the way, the people receiving more than they pay in are an EXPENSE TO YOU, not the government.

Arizona goes back to the future
Arizona is in the process of trying to pass a law on immigrants that will require policemen to check the ID of a suspected immigrant to prove they are legal.
Immigrants will need to carry their ID with them everywhere.
A fiery young Nelson Mandela prepares to set his 'pass book' alight in protest of the Apartheid system.
This is a new idea… although we did it here in South Africa in the 1960's, and it worked really well until a young lawyer decided to burn his passbook. Later on, he was convicted as a terrorist, imprisoned for 27 years, and went on to become perhaps one of the most famous heads of state in the entire world.
Madiba, you and your matches are needed in Arizona, 'Tata!

CALIFORNIA - Congressional Races to Watch
This November there will likely be increases in Hispanic members of Congress in both the Republican and Democratic parties. The main Hispanic gains are expected in California congressional races.
Three Hispanic candidates are considered very likely to win this fall:
In competitive seats in California, both parties are running Hispanic candidates against non-Hispanic incumbents.
Two California Seats rated as "Toss-Ups"
District 52 (San Diego Area)
Scott Peters (D)
From his Campaign Website:
We need a policy that's tough, fair, and practical. It needs to be tough on border security to prevent people from trying to smuggle guns, drugs or people. It needs to be fair to taxpayers, and it needs to be a practical solution that will finally address the problem.
We've got to crack down on employers who knowingly traffic in illegal immigration. We also must understand the economic disparity between Mexico and United States -- two countries that share one of the longest borders in the world. One way to address it is to improve the legal commerce that takes place across the border. Modern trade and security technology can speed up legal commerce, and the revenue it produces on both sides of the border will reduce the pressure that drives people across it.
Brian Bilbray (R), incumbent, Chairman of the Immigration Reform Caucus
From his Campaign Website:
As Chairman of the House Immigration Reform Caucus, I have worked across party lines to secure our border and fight against amnesty. As a nation, we need to ensure respect for the laws of this country and fairness for the millions of immigrants who came here legally and have waited in line. We also need to recognize that a weak border provides easy access to our nation and our people for those who would cause harm including terrorists, illegal drug smugglers, and other violent criminals.
The solution to the illegal immigration problem requires both short-term and long-term action. We need to finish the fence between the United States and Mexico. This should include the use of new, enhanced technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles. We need to increase the number of agents patrolling the border and the number of Immigration Control Enforcement (ICE) agents who should focus more on interior enforcement and train local authorities throughout the nation to assist them. However, more importantly, we need to identify and aggressively prosecute exploitive employers who continue to hire illegal immigrants. This is why I took the lead in demanding that all federal contractors use the new 'E-Verify' system to make sure taxpayer's money only goes to paychecks for individuals who are in this country legally.
At the end of the day, I think we need to remember that taxpayers are being forced to pay a steep price - in both money and in violent crime - for the federal government's failure to address the immigration issue. In addition to that, we need to remember that the human smuggling, prostitution, murder and virtual enslavement of human beings drawn to this nation by private sector and taxpayer-funded jobs is a crisis that is best addressed by securing not only the border, but the job market, as well.
District 7 (Sacramento)
One of the most watched and hotly contested races in the country pits incumbent Representative Dan Lungren (R) (who currently serves on the House Judiciary Committee) and newcomer Dr. Ami Bera, the child of Indian immigrants and the former chief medical officer for Sacramento County.
Dan Lungren (R), incumbent
From his official Congressional website
The United States Constitution in Article 1 Section 8 places the responsibility for the regulation of immigration with Congress. It is my belief that as a sovereign nation we must meet this responsibility and regain control over our borders. In order to do so we must continue to increase the size of the border patrol by 2000 positions each year and we must double the number of workplace inspectors to enforce the unlawful hiring of illegal aliens.
I have co-authored with my colleagues Nathan Deal and Brian Bilbray is the Birthright Citizenship Act (H.R. 1868). The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside." The Birthright Citizenship Act states that a person born in the United States shall be considered 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States if born of parents, one of whom is a citizen or national of the U.S.; an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States whose residence is in the United States; or an alien performing active service in the armed forces. The children of those unlawfully present would not qualify for birthright citizenship.
Dr. Ami Bera (D)
Dr. Bera does include immigration issue on his campaign website, but has made statements regarding immigration in a news interview
Dr. Bera highlighted that he is a son of Indian immigrants who came here legally and stated: "We should have a legal path to citizenship and then we should enforce those laws. We should hold employees accountable; we should hold individuals accountable."

Thanks for all your advise. I will leave it for a while and maybe try old tights and some real Barley straw and keep pulling it out daily. Thanks again.
I have Hollyhocks seeding everywhere and last year we noticed them growing in a small space between the house and patio. We left them because it reminded us of a holiday last year in the Ile de Rieu in France where they grown on in the gaps. However if they do damage I will take them up. They are about 8 ft tall and just flowering!
Thanks hogweed. No I haven't got a uv filter but will look into this.
I cleaned out my pond early Spring by emptying it. It's quite small, about 8ft at the longest and 6 ft at the widest with only part of it 3 ft deep. I put Blagdon Fresh Start I. To rebalance the water, put the plants back the few fish I had left and it seemed fine. In May I restocked the fish and put net over it as I lost of lot of fish through herons over the years. In the last few weeks I hve been plagued with blanket weed which I have to remove daily. I use the Blagdons Barley Straw extract. I have used this many times before and also the Barley Straw Floating packs. However, I lost 5 fish on consecutive days and I'm not sure what's killing them. Surely the Barley Straw extract is a natural product and has never killed fish Or is the blanket week damaging them. It is clogging up the pump on a daily basis and I am pulling it out by hand. Any suggestions!??
Thanks Rosie!
Thanks to you both. Pravado it is then.
I have talked about this before but it still bugging mr ( excuse the pun)! I have some lovely lilies which take pride of place in my raised bed. After many years of fantastic flowers the last couple of years they have been stripped of their leaves. I brought them in the Conservatory half way through last summer but they still carried on deteriorated. I cleaned all the bulbs and have planted them in pots and left them in the greenhouse. Can I treat them with anything? Big guns needed so I can put them out once again. Any ideas? I have tried painstakingly picking them off, sunflower oil spray etc.
Thanks everone. I shall plant them tomorrow

Narrow your search
Navigate the ins-and-outs of Windows 8 with how-tos, troubleshooting, news, and reviews.
Adopting the looks of an ultrabook and an Apple MacBook, the IdeaPad U400 wins on design and overall value, but it's not that far above other equally good laptops that are out there right now.
Budget laptop shoppers looking for pure performance for $800 should flock to the Acer Aspire V3-571G-9435, but those looking for a comfortable, easily portable laptop should look elsewhere.
Dell's workmanlike Inspiron One 2330 won't change your life, but it will meet all of your basic mainstream desktop needs while also providing a few useful extras.
While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems.
One of the few standout products from the first wave of Windows 8 laptops, the Acer Aspire S7 proves that Apple does not have a monopoly on great design.
The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a few quirks, but is otherwise a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover potential.
A high-end big-screen multimedia laptop that's pretty portable (for a desktop replacement), the Samsung Series 7 Chronos is what we imagine a 17-inch ultrabook would look like.
There may not be a better full-fledged business ultraportable than the ThinkPad X230, but more efficient, less expensive, and thinner ultrabooks are the real future of this category.
The glasses-free 15-inch 3D display on the Toshiba Qosmio F755 falls just short of being really impressive. The software support and stability are better than for previous models, but low-end hardware needlessly hobbles this laptop.

Junior Blues have been snapping up 2013/14 Season Tickets - with the £95 pricetag proving popular once again.
Last season, Everton Football Club's '£5 for kids' FA Cup match tickets led to 2012/13 Season Tickets to be set at £95, a cost of £5 per Premier League game.
And with the Early Bird window opening earlier this month, parents and guardians have been keen to secure seats for their young Evertonians.
Fans under the age of 11 are eligible for the £95 tickets, while Under-16s have also seen their prices frozen for the new term.
There are excellent Early Bird offers for current Season Ticket holders who can enjoy 25 per cent discount, while the Early Bird period also offers up to a 20 per cent reduction for new Season Ticket holders.
As in previous years, there are a variety of payment methods, including both Everton MasterCard and Direct Debit options.
The deadline for Blues wishing to pay for their Season Tickets via four Direct Debit installments is Friday 19 April.
The Early Bird window will remain open until midnight on Friday 19 April. Tickets will be on sale online at evertonfc.com/eticketing, by calling 0871 663 1878* or by visiting the Park End box office or the Everton Two store.

Afterwards they can even watch rock concerts. This year, Weber joined the College Satellite Network (CSN), which airs live discussions on topics ranging from this year's presidential elections to the effect of AIDS on sexual practices among college students. After the discussions, the network also broadcasts the Pepsi Satellite Concert Tour. WSC student government coordinator Colleen Garsidc and Weber's student senate were responsible for bringing CSN to the campus. They believe Weber's students and faculty will benefit by having access to the network. CSN can help students gain different perspectives on important issues from experts involved with those issues on a daily basis, Garsidc said. In addition to viewing the discussions, students can participate in the them by phone. "Last year (Senator) Alan Cranston (Dcm. - Calif.) did a segment on 'The Congress: Is It Working?,'" Garside said. Viewers were given an opportunity to call in with questions. "For someone at Weber State to be able to call Alan Cranston and talk to him about an important issue, well that's a neat opportunity they probably wouldn't get elsewhere." she added. Garside explained that the student senators decided to purchase the rights to the network from senate funds at $500 per year. They decided to buy after receiving a year's free trial of the network. The programs are usually aired at night when most of the student body is off campus. Garsidc said the college was able to negotiate a special contract to tape the programs when they're aired.

(Signpost photo: Judd Bundy) Weber hosts Olympians Monica Ray Contributing Writer The "U" does it. The "Y" does it. Utah State does it. And so does Weber State College. Does what you ask? Hosts part of the Utah Special Olympics. Aided by the strong involvement of the Associated Students on campus and chaired by Josie Lopez, this year's Utah Special Olympic's State gymnastics meet is scheduled to be held Saturday, Nov. 14. Over 2,000 children and adults participate in events throughout the state, and over 450 participants are scheduled to take part in Saturday's meet. This is 75 more than participated last year. Opening ceremonies will begin at 9 a.m. in the Swenson Gymnasium. Events will run until 5 p.m. when the closing ceremonies will take place. Volunteers are the key to the success of any of these events. Around 250 people will help with score keeping, hugging and general cheering on of the athletes said Bruce Nielsen, Assistant Executive Director of the Utah Special Olympics. Some volunteers also serve as host t families for athletes who come from as far south as Cedar City. "We are very appreciative of the support we get from WSC," said Nielsen. (see OLYMPICS on page 3) Vietnam was different for everyone Chris J. Miller Editor-in-Chief Perceptions of the Vietnam War are varied. The different viewpoints bring a smile to Jim Kopecky's eyes. They also cause him to pause in reflection at the sad circumstances. Kopecky is a 20-year veteran who now serves as coordinator of the Veterans Upward Bound program at Weber State. For 12 years, he worked as a civilian in Military Intelligence and off and on in Vietnam during that time. The recent notoriety of the Vietnam War gives him cause to look back on his experiences. "Every GI had his own Vietnam. In World War II, we all went as a group. But in Vietnam, nothing was alike. Talk to 20 guys about Vietnam, and you'll get 20 different ideas. Kids went over; old men came back," said Kopecky. Kopecky likes some of the movies about Vietnam. He sees the good, but wonders about some of the other things. Movies like "Rambo," which glamorize the war, have no place, says Kopecky. "After all, Stallone spent the Vietnam years in Switzerland teaching aerobics." Other movies, like "Platoon," made good attempts, but had phony things in them. "War is not John Wayne. The only glorious thing about war is when it is over," he added. Kopecky says that people today arc now really getting interested in Vietnam, more so than they were in 1972. He is busy now each day organizing veteran programs on campus and across the state. Yesterday, he took part in activities across the state, pushing for recognition of prisoners of war. According to Kopecky, 40 states give POWs special license plates to honor them. He hopes to get similar legislation through Utah's legislature. Kopecky says Governor Norman Bangcrtcr (see VIETNAM on page 7) Vets contribute at WSC Hal Davis 'Asst. News Editor According to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Office, veterans make up about 10 percent of Weber's student population. There are about 1,000 veterans at Weber, 600 of which arc currently receiving educational benefits from the government. Just those receiving benefits pay almost $200,000 in tuition and student fees per quarter. Add to this ficure the 400 some vets not claiming benefits and those on active duly at Hill Air Force Base and Ogdcn Defense Depot that arc on tuition assistance, and veterans make a sizeable financial contribution at Weber. Weber shows its appreciation of veterans, whether receiving benefits or not, by allowing them to register first along with seniors. If your registration form docs not say "veteran" on it, and you are a veteran, then take your discharge certificate rr DD form 214 to the veteran's affairs office and they will stamp it.

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The world needs another singing show like we need another joke about Twinkies.
But that isn't stopping NBC and the makers of "The Voice" from trying.
The show is called "The Winner Is " and a winner will take home $1 million. The twist, as explained in the press release, has a bit of "Deal or No Deal" in it, which isn't surprising since the producers of this show also created that show:
The contestants will be judged by a special in-studio panel led by one celebrity judge (to be announced) as they compete for an ultimate cash prize of $1 million. In a unique twist, they will have the chance to negotiate a deal with their opponent. Before hearing their fate the contestants can choose to step out of the competition in exchange for a predetermined cash prize or continue on in the game.
Singing contestants need to be confident of their own talent but shouldn't underestimate their opponents. There's a lot at stake: the amount of money each duel is worth increases with every round, right up until the finale.
In the finale, eight singers will duel and negotiate. They continue to compete until just two amazing singing contestants remain. Then the two finalists must make a crucial decision. After their performance, they each get the chance to walk away with $100,000 — or they can risk losing that huge amount of cash by awaiting the jury vote and the votes from the viewers for the chance to win the $1 million prize.
Sound enticing? A casting call is set for Saturday, Nov. 24 at 55 Tapas Lounge on 255 Peters Street in Atlanta from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You should come ready with at least three popular songs prepared, verse and a chorus. If you want to set aside an appointment and have a better shot of being heard, you can send advance information to email@example.com with your name, age, occupation, where you're from, a brief bio and an audio or video clip of you singing with a verse and a chorus. Use MP3, MP4s or Youtube links but not WMA files. There will be callbacks via Skype and if you make the next cut, you might be able to fly out Los Angeles.
The show will be shot in February and March. A launch date has not been set but it won't compete directly with "The Voice" so it will likely air in the summer.
There will be about 11 episodes and 20 to 30 acts will get to perform. There is no age limit but if you're under the age of 11, you need a guardian to authorize the materials you're sending and if you're under 17, you need a guardian to be at the casting call. There is no size limit to your group if you are a singing group. Bring your own instruments if you need them but the restaurant can't accommodate anything elaborate.
Based on what I've been told, the show is meant to keep viewers engaged from a game-show perspective. There's no pretense that a great singer is promised a career of any sort after it's over. But $1 million is a sweet prize.
I have to give Kalia Booker, the casting producer for the show, credit for enthusiasm and an oddly appropriate last name. Here's her email pitch to me, capital letters intact:
My name is Kalia Booker and I am a Casting Producer with NBC's new ground-breaking singing game show, The Winner Is! From the creators of The Voice and Deal Or No Deal plus the powerhouse Executive Producers behind NBC's biggest hits, this show is sure to be the whopper of singing shows. Simply put, we are looking for amazing voices. They could be chasing the dream or just your grandma who happens to have a beautiful voice. We are looking for the entire spectrum of performers: groups, duos, single singers, a cappella groups, cabaret groups, high school choruses, singing telegrammers-all of it! If you or anyone you know has a great voice and wants to WIN A MILLION DOLLARS and shoot to stardom, WE. WANT. YOU!

The write-up says there is no age limit. I don't believe it. Our nation has a bad habit of youth worship. Granted, young people are great, but why is it we will pay tons of money to see Paul McCartney, but someone who is just as talented at that age won't get a chance if he wasn't already discovered 40 years earlier.
Talent knows no age limits. If someone is 7 or 70, give them a chance.

Bring back the Acappella show……that was the BEST SINGING SHOW EVER..real singers, not this manufactured crap. I dont think people even watch x factor any more.
Since these shows became all about the Judges and not the contestants..I stopped watching.
American Idol. I can only recall 3 people who won and are successful… And 3 people who didnt win that turned out to be more successful than the people who won. JHudson, Daugherty, Adam
The music industry is a hot mess Rap is dead (THANK God).
Pop singers like Nikki Minaj, have no talent…
Where are the Anita Bakers Luther Vandross and Al Jarrau's ???

@Mike: Yes, I would pay tons to see Paul McCartney because he has EARNED it. An incredible singer, songwriter, performer and member of one of, if not the, most popular groups of all time…
I think you can judge an incredible talent (such as Susan Boyle) by their voice and their ability to pick the "right" song. As an FYI, I bet someone sings a "Paul McCartney" song.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The collision that knocked Aqib Talib out of the AFC championship game reverberated Monday when Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Wes Welker tried to "take out" the star cornerback.
Belichick took the shot at his former wide receiver after viewing video of the second-quarter play in the Denver Broncos' 26-16 win on Sunday. Coming from opposite sides, the players ran into each other. No penalty was called.
It "was a deliberate play by the receiver to take out Aqib, no attempt to get open," Belichick said during his opening statement at his season-ending news conference.
"I'll let the league handle the discipline on that play. It's not for me to decide, but it's one of the worst plays I've seen. That's all I'm going to say about that."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday, "If there is any discipline for plays in (Sunday's) games, it will be determined by Merton Hanks later in the week."
Hanks is the league's vice-president of player operations.
Welker, who had a cool relationship with Belichick before leaving New England as a free agent last off-season, was not available for comment Monday.
But after the game, he said, "it was one of those plays where it's kind of a rub play and I was trying to get him to go over the top, and I think he was thinking the same thing and wanted to come underneath and we just kind of collided. ... It wasn't a deal where I was trying to hit him or anything like that."
After Talib left with a knee injury, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning took advantage of having the much shorter Alfonzo Dennard covering receivers Talib normally would handle. The previous season, a thigh injury ended Talib's day in the first quarter of the AFC championship game, a 28-13 loss to Baltimore.
Denver coach John Fox said he hadn't seen Belichick's comments but called Welker "a great player, high integrity. I can say that we were not doing anything with intent."
Asked why he would send the 5-foot-9 Welker, 4 inches shorter, at Talib after sustaining two recent concussions, Fox said, "That's a good question. I don't have an answer to it."
But he and several Patriots said pick plays in which one receiver brushes against or hits a defender to free another receiver are becoming more prevalent.
"Teams do a lot of that just to give guys separation and to open up the passing game," safety Devin McCourty said.
Steve Gregory, New England's other starting safety, said he didn't think Welker would deliberately try to hurt a player.
"I don't think anybody plays that way," he said, "especially at this level of football with two great football teams in the Broncos and ourselves."
Besides, Fox said, the Broncos weren't the only team to run a pick play.
"The umpire's in that area. It's a pretty crowded area, so I think offences have tried to exploit that," he said. "We're not the only team, by any stretch. In fact, our opponent Sunday did the same thing."
Welker, coming from the right, used his right arm to make contact with the left arm of Talib, who was running from the left to stay with his receiver. They collided a split-second before Manning's pass went off the hands of receiver Demaryius Thomas a few yards away.
Patriots defensive end Andre Carter called it a "nasty" play.
"Wes, was he doing his job? I'm sure he was to a certain degree," Carter said. "(Do) I think the hit could have been cleaner? Yes."
But Broncos tight end Julius Thomas was more concerned about preparing to face the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl on Feb. 2 than about Belichick's comments.
"The thoughts and feelings of opposing coaches definitely don't bother me," he said. "We're worried about what's happening this week."

Degree Programs For Civil Engineers : Online And Campus Schools
Career Information
Civil Engineers: Career, Salary and Education Information
Career Profile: What do Civil Engineers do?
Civil engineers supervise and direct the design and construction of roads, bridges, water supply systems, and structures. They take the local environment into account, anticipating earthquakes and hurricanes as well as the stress of daily use. Civil engineers, who work in engineering's oldest discipline, have long been valued for their ability to create the structures and systems used every day.
Citizens rely on civil engineers to keep structures safe and create new systems for more efficient living. These specialized engineers can be found wherever population growth and expansion call for new or updated transportation, structural, and geotechnical engineering.
A Day in the Life of a Civil Engineer
Civil engineers comprise the most popular engineering specialty, with 256,000 engineers nationwide in the field. The daily duties of individual civil engineers depend on job specializations. A large amount of technical and computer work is typically required, and civil engineers must be familiar with different schematics, maps, and drafting software.
The career may require travel, as civil engineers move from place to place to work on different projects. Civil engineers can spend time outside, surveying the progress of construction and taking a close look at problems.
Civil Engineer Training and Education
A bachelor's degree is the standard for many entry-level jobs in civil engineering, although more advanced careers may require more training via traditional or online grad schools. All engineers offering their services directly to the public must be licensed and many civil engineers hold official professional engineer (PE) certification.
Training programs tend to group courses into different emphases, typically geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and transportation engineering. Popular coursework includes instruction in surveying, highway engineering, land surveying, water quality engineering, and computer methods.
Get the Training You Need: Find schools for Civil Engineers near you!
Civil Engineer Employment & Outlook
Civil engineers should be the largest job increase among all engineers in the coming years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports. An 18 percent employment growth is expected with 46,000 jobs across the civil engineering industry.
The increase is due in part to a general population growth and the related need to improve civil infrastructure nationwide. Civil engineers are needed to repair existing roads and other public structures, as well as design and create new structures.
