New Year's Day is the deadliest day of the year on the roadways. According to AAA, the day ranks highest when it comes to the number of alcohol-related fatalities. Eastern Iowa police officers are ready.
Lucas Liddle has been a Cedar Rapids police officer for seven years. He's worked almost every New Year's Eve since then and knows what to expect.
"A lot of traffic, a lot of crowds, and a lot of intoxicated people," said Liddle.
Monday night's shift started with what appeared to be a possible drunk driver a woman who ended up hitting a tree and fence when driving off I380. She turned out to be a diabetic having blood sugar problems.
After a trip to St. Luke's hospital where the woman was doing better, it was time to pull over a car with expired plates. The officer smelled marijuana and called for back-up.
The kids in the car were not impaired and did not have any illegal drugs on them but did receive other minor citations. Stops like this one are often how officers find drunk drivers.
"That's usually how we detect alcohol and impairment is how well they're able to interact with us," said Liddle.
Liddle also drove by local bars to remind those out celebrating New Year's that the police department is watching.
Officers say be careful when you drink and never drink and drive.

About FicWad (#)
Our PhilosophyWe feel that two things are very important in fiction: the freedom of an author to write what they want, and the freedom of a reader to read what they want.
The purpose of this archive is not to police stories. Fiction can take any form, so we don't want to put limitations on authors' creativity. We won't stand for plagiarism or harrassment, but beyond that, just about anything goes! Nobody enjoys having their stories deleted.
At the same time, readers should be able to find what they're looking for. The reader should have the tools available to filter out what they don't want to see.
Above all, we feel that fiction should be fun, and that an archive is nothing without its users.
Terms of Service (TOS)By using this site, you agree that you have read and understand our Terms of Service (TOS).
They're a bit legalistic, we know. We suggest just asking yourself "am I being a jerk?" before doing anything; if the answer is no, you're probably fine.
How does rating work?After you read a story, you'll see a link at the bottom of the page that will let you rate the story. That link will take you to a page with several different adjectives to choose from, some good and some bad. You can then choose an adjective that you think describes that story. Each good adjective will add one point to the story's score, and each bad adjective will subtract one. You can only rate each story once, and it costs one rating point to rate each story. You cannot rate if you have no rating points remaining.
How can I get more rating points?Rating points are refilled every week. Every user starts off receiving 5 points each week, but the number you receive is affected by your karma--a hidden number that reflects how fair and helpful you have been in your ratings and reviews. When other users meta-rate your ratings as Fair, you'll gain a tiny amount of karma, and likewise, if they meta-rate your ratings as Unfair, you'll lose a tiny amount. If your ratings are consistently fair or unfair, you'll start to see a difference in the number of points you receive. Your karma will also increase when an author rates one of your reviews as Helpful. However, there's no karma loss for an Unhelpful review, so if you don't have any advice to offer and just want to say you liked the story, you won't be penalized.
What's meta-rating all about?If other users have rated a story, then after you read it, you will be able to see anonymously what another user had to say about that story. You can decide whether you think the rating was fair or unfair by clicking on the respective link. Users who are consistently rated as fair will get more rating points, and those rated as unfair will get fewer. You cannot meta-rate ratings on your own stories, or ratings that you yourself have left.
Didn't you steal all this from Slashdot?Yep.
I think you're really cool--where can I send fanmail?Please address any and all inquiries to email@example.com.
Registration and User Accounts (#)
How can I permanently change my filter setting?The filter setting adjuster that you see on most pages will only affect your current session; if you log out, it'll return to your default. To change your default filter setting, go to "Your Account" and "Edit Profile."
Why do I have to be 13 or older to sign up?It is, I'm sad to say, entirely a legal thing. FicWad is based in the USA (the servers and we, the owners, are both in California). Because we're in the USA we have to comply with a few requirements -- specifically, a law called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA for short). That law says that if we collect any information from people under the age of 13 then we need to fulfill a lot of extra requirements.
So, since we're a tiny website and want to avoid legal hassle, we just tell people they have to be at least 13.
(There's also an argument stemming from parents being potentially angry if they find their children have been reading stories from our NC-17 category. But really we care more about the legal issues.)
How can I change my username?Send me an email at email@example.com
Let me know your current username and the new username you'd like. Send this email from the email address you registered with.
(Yes, this is awkward. It's deliberately awkward, though. We'd like to encourage a sense of community, and think that's hard if people can change their names at whim.)
Uploading and Editing Stories (#)
What can I post as a story?Anything that might be loosely considered "creative writing". Stories, poetry, scripts, and so forth.
Discussion, shout-outs, notices to your readers, and so forth should either go on the forums or take up one chapter of a multi-part story. (We think of this sort of content as "noise" -- it's probably of interest to people who are already fans of your work, but just gets in the way of new readers.)
How can I create a new category or character for my story?If the category or character you need doesn't exist, please use our Suggest a Category form. The admins should review your suggestion and add it to the site within 24 hours.
What do all these warnings mean?Warnings are an easy way to let your reader know there might be something in your story they don't want to see. Please be courteous and use them when appropriate!
Mild Spoilers
This story reveals something you might not have known about the plot or characters of the original source. Nothing of earth-shattering importance, but it could spoil a surprise for someone who hasn't finished the plot of the source.
Medium Spoilers
Something is revealed about the original source that significantly affects the plot or perception of the characters.
Severe (or Extra-Spicy) Spoilers
Something monumentally huge is revealed about the source. If you've revealed that any main characters have died, or that the hero's best friend actually turned out to be the villian, or the answer to that 27-episode-long murder mystery...this would be the warning for your story.
Alternate Universe
What if all the characters were ordinary high school students? What if X actually hooked up with Y instead of Z? This story does not adhere to canon--but that's okay, we love it anyway.
The story contains graphic sexual content.
This covers excessive violence and gore--anything involving blood, guts, and bones breaking should probably have this warning.
Rape/Sexual Violence
Not just a mix of "X" and "V", this warning covers non-consensual sex, extreme bondage or powerplays, and any other sexual abuse or violence.
Child/Underage Sex
This warning means that the story contains sexual acts in which at least one character is not of legal/consenting age in their particular universe.
Invalid upload? WTF?An 'invalid upload' error typically means that whatever was uploaded wasn't HTML or plain text. The most common situation where people see this error is when they accidentally try to upload a .doc version of their story.
If you've written your story in Microsoft Word, and want to transport it into FicWad while preserving your formatting, simply use Word's "Save as Web Page" option. This will produce an absolutely awful HTML file which FicWad will be happy to rip to pieces to extract your story with its formatting intact.
Feeds (#)
What is a feed?A feed is a machine-readable document that describes a sequence of data in a controlled manner.
This means that other applications can look at a feed and so long as they understand the particular flavor of XML being used to write it, they can display the data in a sensible way.
It sounds dry, but this is very useful. It lets the latest information from many websites be displayed almost anywhere easily.
How can I use a feed?How you use a feed depends entirely on which application you want to use to view it. Applications that display feeds are called aggregators, and are normally used to gather feeds of information from a variety of places and display them in one convenient location.
Probably the most popular aggregator in use today is LiveJournal, although most people don't think of it as such. LiveJournal allows you to specify other users whose entries they want to read ("friends"), then aggregates feeds of entries by those users into one handy "friends page" for you to read conveniently.
As it happens, LiveJournal can also read the feeds that FicWad (and a lot of other people) produce. If you have a paid LiveJournal account you can add a custom feed to LiveJournal by visiting their syndication page. If you don't have a paid account, you have to wait until someone else has added a particular feed to LiveJournal before you can watch it.
The last 15 stories posted to FicWad can be seen at ficwad_recent on LiveJournal.
If you're using FireFox, you can use its Live Bookmarks feature to watch a feed in your bookmarks.
If you're using Opera, you can use the "M2 mail client's feed reader":http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/m2/rss/ to watch the feed.
If you're using Safari in Mac OS X 10.4 or above you can use Safari RSS to read feeds. (We haven't tried this one yet, but it's a Mac, so we're sure it'll be easy.)
If you're using IE... we really do recommend Firefox. Seriously, though, there are a lot of other aggregator programs out there.
Can I do something more complicated than the default feeds?Sure!
(Note, however, that everything past this point will assume a certain comfort-level with technical matters.)
Base URL: http://www.ficwad.com/xml/recent.php?
This base URL gives one an RSS feed of the last 15 stories uploaded to FicWad, minus those that are NC-17. We're trying to restrict NC-17 listings in feeds to people who've indicated that they want to see them.
There are several parameters you can add to this URL:
* If you want to see NC-17 stories in the feed, add 'nc=1'
* If you want to see only NC-17 stories, add 'nc=2'
* If you want to see only stories by a certain author, add 'uid=[their uid]' (you can see an author's uid in the url of their profile page)
* If you want to see only stories in a certain category, add 'catid=[category id]' (seen in the url of the category display page).
* If you want to see stories by this user's favorite authors, add 'fav=a' (note that this modifies the meaning of "uid=", such that the uid given is the user whose favorites you want to see)
* If you want to see on stories that this user lists as their favorites, add 'fav=s' (same warning as above)
An example: http://www.ficwad.com/xml/recent.php?uid=2&catid=2&nc=2">http://www.ficwad.com/xml/recent.php?uid=2&catid=2&nc=2
This generates a feed of the last 15 stories user 2 (SunTyger, as it happens) has posted to FicWad for category 2 (Trigun), which are NC-17. There's only one at the time of writing, but I'm sure she'll try harder in the future.

"There's this abandoned house. It's closed. There's a cat on the windowsill. I think: Must be a clay cat. I come over, and it's a real cat. He ate all the flowers in the house. Geraniums. How'd he get in? Or did they leave him there?
"There's a note on the door: Dear kind person, please don't look for valuables here. We never had any. Use whatever you want, but don't trash the place. We'll be back. I saw signs on other houses in different colors—Dear house, forgive us! People said goodbye to their homes like they were people. Or they'd written: We're leaving in the morning, or, We're leaving at night, and they'd put the date and even the time. There were notes written on school notebook paper: Don't beat the cat. Otherwise the rats will eat everything. And then in a child's handwriting: Don't kill our Zhulka. She's a good cat."

Some people begin this treatment with the Cleansing Trio, one who had her mother do this was using the Trio for 3 months while she was on the ventilator, after starting they noticed very large Bowel movements full of stringy mucous even though she was not eating that much food. As the cleansing continued her abdomen decreased and became flat. and her lung condition improved. She was also using Power Meal, ImmuGel, VitaGreen, Mineral Essence, Sulfurzyme, Chelex, Mint Condition. and alternated ImmuGel with Exodus. AlkaLime did not work for her, it made it harder to breath. She also applied Raven, Lavender, Frankincense, Hyssop and Myrrh to her chest and back. these thinned the mucous so that she could expel it, breathing more clearly and easier.
An article in YL Essential Edge magazine 1999 Convention issue, on Rosmarinus officinalis CT Verbenon, Rosemary, does not mention cystic fibrosis, it states that it is highly esteemed for it's regenerative properties, and is preferred for respiratory infections since it can be diffused or inhaled. It is one of the most highly regarded EOs in aromatherapy because it combines a powerful antiseptic/antimicrobial action with a relatively non-irritating nature. According to Daniel Penoel MD, Rosemary is expectorant and mucolytic (helping us to break up and discharge excess mucous arising from allergies or infections) bactericidal, veridical, antispasmodic, and balancing to the endocrine glands (where our immune system is monitored).

Cablevision's support of The Lustgarten Foundation ensures that 100% of every donation goes directly to pancreatic cancer research.
You are here:
A clinical trial is a research study designed to evaluate a new cancer treatment. Patients enrolled in a clinical trial are among the first to receive new treatments before they become widely offered. Before participating in a clinical trial, patients are asked to read and sign an informed consent. This document is a means of obtaining consent by a patient to undergo treatment with an investigational agent after being provided with information on the possible risks and side effects of treatment, as well as a contact for additional information. The Lustgarten Foundation, in cooperation with EmergingMed, is pleased to offer a Clinical Trials Matching and Referral Service. The Service provides free and unlimited access to current, verified clinical trial information. A unique and key element of the Service is providing direct and ongoing telephone support throughout the clinical trial search process.1-800-535-1867
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees the administration of promising drugs and therapies in clinical trials. Before moving the drug process into human testing, many preclinical studies including successful animal studies must be performed. Once human testing begins, it is generally done in three consecutive phases called phase I, phase II, and phase III.Phase I: A phase I clinical trial attempts to assess whether a new drug is safe for use by humans and determines the maximum dose that can be administered. These are the primary end points, or aims, of a phase I clinical trial, although researchers will, of course, be looking for indications that the experimental drug may shrink or stabilize cancer growth.Phase II: Agents successfully completing phase I move on to phase II, which assesses whether the drug has positive effects against the cancer in question. Many potential drug therapies go no further than phase II because they show no real beneficial effect against the specific tumor being studied. Successful phase II candidates, however, move on to phase III clinical trials.Phase III: Phase III clinical trials are designed to compare these new therapies to existing therapies. This comparison is the real test of a potential new drug. Patients with similar characteristics are assigned to receive the existing standard therapy or to receive the new therapy (this is called a "randomized clinical trial"). If the new agent shows similar or improved results as compared to existing therapy and an acceptable safety profile, it is often approved for general release by the FDA. There is even a phase IV process of study that has to do with after approval monitoring of the new drug for side effects as it makes its way into wider use.

Going to summer camp is a dream for many kids – it's a time to get away and just have fun. But imagine having a medical condition that makes that dream impossible. That's where a special camp in Northern Illinois is making a lifelong difference for kids.
Camp Blackhawk is a week-long retreat in Ingleside for kids with epilepsy -- a neurological disorder that causes seizures which makes it impossible for those kids to attend typical summer camp. But during this week, they can just be themselves, leaving behind the unfair stigmas often attached to people with epilepsy and allowing them to take part in those activities that summer was made to enjoy. Here, no one is different.
"To provide the opportunity for these kids to come to a summer camp to just have fun, to zipline, to swim, to shoot bows and arrows and to do all the lake activities that they're doing, it's just heartwarming to see what they're able to do," says Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago CEO Kurt Florian.
Today, the campers with the cleanest cabin got to spray down their counselors as a reward.
"It's really upsetting in a way that I can't do anything to control it, yet everyone is judging me for it so I feel like that's why a lot of people with epilepsy kinda tend to separate themselves or try to like hide their epilepsy or aren't open about it as much as I am," says camp lifeguard Erin Vander Pas. "I can't think of anything else I would want to do, I'm having the time of my life here."
Around Chicagoland there are an estimated 130,000 people with epilepsy and nearly 3 million in the U.S. Epilepsy is the fourth most common neurological disorder.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago, which provides this camp at no cost to families, is trying to change people's attitudes towards those who suffer from the disorder.
"They're just like everybody else, in terms of what they can do what they can't do, in terms of their mental capabilities," Florian explains. "There's really no difference between a person with epilepsy and anyone else."
Erin knows that by being open about her epilepsy, she can give courage to others; even young campers that remind her of herself.
"I feel like I'm kinda changing the world a little bit, just one person's world, maybe more, but I feel like I'm really helping out with what I can do and that's just an amazing feeling," Vander Pas says.
Kurt Florian, the president and CEO of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago says he has a waiting list for campers and is hoping if more families sign up for Camp Blackhawk, he can offer a second week of camp next summer.

This year's camp registration is full. To be placed on the mailing list for next year's Camp Blackhawk email firstname.lastname@example.com.

General Motors just unveiled the final production version of the Chevrolet Volt, a car that some say will save the company while others believe it will bankrupt it. The Volt is a new kind of car, so new that nobody's quite decided what they're going to be called.
People seem to be settling on calling it an Extended-Range Electric Vehicle (or EREV.) Others are calling it a REEV (range extended electric vehicle) while still others prefer the technical term "series hybrid." One thing it is not is just another hybrid vehicle. Whatever they're going to be called, car companies are drooling over the possibilities. After GM announced the Volt, Mazda, Ford, VW, Volvo, and Jeep began planning their own EREVs.
EREVs (which have never been mass-manufactured) never use gasoline to move the http://www.wowgraphicdesigns.com/online-pharmacy-cialis wheels. Instead, the electric engine drives the car 100% of the time. However, when the batteries get low, an on-board gasoline generator kicks in to re-charge the batteries.
The end result is that the Chevy Volt will be able to travel 40 miles without a drop of gasoline. Since most commutes and buy cheap tramadol online buy errands take less than 40 miles, the car won't use gas at all in regular daily use. However, unlike other electric vehicles, if you run out of charge, you aren't stuck. The gasoline generator can always fill up the batteries, and you can always fill up the gas tank.
This is possibly the only solution that could make electric vehicles work with existing technology. Because we in America tend to refuse to purchase cars that don't have four seats, a top speed over eighty, a range of over 300 miles, and a price under $30,000, there is simply no other solution.
The solution that comes closest to the Volt (and takes us further into full-electric vehicles) is Project Better Place. Unfortunately, Project Better Place would require a major infrastructure investment. Plus, PBP's battery replacement system would require that all cars use the same battery. And in America, where choice (or at least the illusion of choice) is king, those preferring larger cars might not be so happy with smaller batteries.
GM expects the Volt to be more expensive than the average American will want to pay at first. But hopefully mass manufacture of the lithium ion batteries will bring the price below $30,000 without too much trouble. But the prospect of having a car that the majority of people would fill up only on long trips is a game-changer.
While most companies are rushing to release their own extended-range EV, the one company not doing anything in EREVs right now is Toyota, who has repeatedly affirmed their belief that the Volt will be a complete failure. Those of us with a history in green car journalism might feel a little bit of Deja Vu...that's exactly what GM said about the Prius.
The Volt won't be available until late 2010 at the earliest, and speculations at GM indicate that it will cost more than $35,000. But by 2010, gas prices might be so high that $35k looks awfully cheap for a car that you never have to fill up.

2) Generally aerodynamic
3) Shaded Instrument panel, 2 cup holders, Keyless ignition, Bluetooth (standard),
4) Optional navigation system with onboard hard drive for maps and music storage
5) Well designed seats (stiching should not cut into vinyl with years of use
6) Glass rear hatchback allowing viewing from the rear (will a backup camera be available also?)
7) Rear spoiler which should provide an added attribute blocking headlights from cars in the rear getting into your eyes while driving or in bumper to bumper traffic
Dark lower sides and underbody which should eliminate rocks and cheap canadian pharmacy road dirt from showing up
Overall very well conceived and executed!
Hoping: that the sound insulation is robust, the ride is smooth/tight, Options a-plenty (Navigation, HiFi/Satellite Radio Sound System, On Star, Solar Roof, Extended Warranty, possibly a CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) version, off market accessories, etc.)

1)What is the anticipated lifespan of a lithium-ion battery?
2)How much will replacement batteries cost?
3)What will happen to the lithium-ion batteries when they become defunct?
4)What are the by-products of lithium-ion battery production, and should we(or our children) be concerned about them?
5)I presume this car will allow a land line to recharge the battery, but in what time frame?
6)Why 4 Passenger? Look around on your drive home. What percentage of cars are carrying more than two passengers. In a country where 2,3 or more car families are the norm, wouldn't a combination of small, efficient, inexpensive, fully electric "commuter" vehicles and a larger "family" car (hybrid or EREV) be a more economically and super levitra environmentally feasible.
7)This is an opinion more than a question, but do you believe that GM, with its history of engineering based on 1960's technology, is really capable of delivering ANY type of modern, technogically advanced, quality vehicle en masse? If you do I'd like to talk to you about buying the Brooklyn Bridge...cheap!
What about trucks? The railway lines (which could have used electricity to power the engines) have been dismantled or ignored to the point they are barely serviceable. This system is worthless for moving freight over long distances. So environmental and economic factors relating to a large set of vehicles are being ignored.
I could not profess to be intelligent enough to solve the inate problems associated with relying so heavily on a finite, and environmentally noxious, resource such as Crude Oil. But it seems to me reducing that reliance, without creating additional problems, may be a good first step.

Now, as to the questions above by Marc Mescher:
1) GM doesn't know yet. However, GM is giving a 10 year warranty for the battery.
2) Several thousand. Again, 10 year warranty, which is the normal life of a car.
3) They will be recycled. The lithium is valuable for being reused in more batteries.
4) I haven't heard of any, and they have been in use in laptops for close to 20 years now.
5) 6-8 hours on a 120v outlet. This is due more to the limitation of your household wiring than the car. If they could offer one that could take 240v (like your drier does), and if you could get a 240v outlet in your garage, then probably 3-4 hours.
6) Three reasons. One: People buy for peak usage (or close to peak) as we can not afford to have two cars per person. Two: because people want the space for storing stuff they carry with them at peak usage. Three: Because some people won't buy a car without a back seat (like me). A two seater won't work for me at all. At least twice a week I drive around with two other people.
7) A) Yes. B) Your 'sarcasm' is no better than they (expletive) that WANT GM to fail in this. GM has learned from their mistakes and is pretty much betting the entire company on this car.
Trucks and other vehicles will follow. The first thing is to get the technology working on a smaller scale, then enlarge it to vehicles that will require a larger motor (such as trucks). Also, the railroads are having a field day right now. They are about four times more efficient in tons/mile than semi trucks. They are upgrading their tracks and drug generic viagra everything else.

Let me get this straight. you ALREADY BUILT a 120-150 mile range 2 seater car that is PURE battery electric over a DECADE AGO and all you can manage 11 years or so later is 40 miles? and $40,000!! (meaning the money you pay for the car will NEVER be returned to you in fuel savings. NEVER unless off course you never EVER go farther than 40 miles per drive between charges. Then it will pay for itself in 6 or 7 years MAYBE.
I was very curious about the 40mile range. that number that SPECIFIC number really bigged me. No its not that its close to all our answers ie 42 but something else.
OH YES thats it. Just about any worthy homebuilt electric car using lead acid batteries has a range thats typically 35-45 miles max per charge.
What a coincidence. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES.
Off course the battery tech we REALLY need namely large format NIMH batteries (yeah the ones used in that 120-150 mile range car from 11 years ago) were sold to texaco and acquired by Chevron of which REFUSES to license them in ANY format that even MIGHT be used in an electric car.
GUESS who sold them that patent. You guessed it GM General Motors.
Guess who stopped making the EV1? GM
Guessed who CRUSHED (literally) every single EV1 except a few crippled intentionally museum pieces.? GM
SCREW GM. I hope they die a horrible slow painful death. Filthy Scumbags.
WE WOULD HAVE NO ECONOMIC TROUBLES AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY if they had continued with the EV1 and more importantly those Large format NIMH batteries we so desperately need and buy cialis at a discount can not legally have.
I would not take a volt if it was FREE. ok maybe to take the battery and motor and junk the rest.

This sounds like the EV-1 all over again to me. Roll something out... to give the impression that it's giving people what it wants...price it out of range...have GM's public relations scoundrels make comments that the people are not responding to and don't want electric vehicles anymore...destroy all of the vehicles in production...then start producing big trucks again....the money maker for GM.
written by Picky Mc Picky, September 16, 2008
And why do we have to use gas to charge the battery? Why not hydrogen? Why not ulitize thin solar film on the roof of the car? Why not utilize the energy caused by the brakes to recharge and lengthen the life of the batteries in city driving? What happened to the NIMH batteries? Has their patent run out?

For people who feel they are smart, even shrewd, investors for their well being, it's not just about one's small world of home and yard and how they look in some manufacturer's product. If one buys on perception, that some product is better than another's, that isn't grounded investment thinking or action. Why would one buy when the profit goes somewhere else, where that profit is distributed all over that product's home terrain and bruising on cialis enhances that terrain's quality and value, its living standard. Why buy and send, when the grounded thinking is when one buy's one's neighbor's efforts, when it sustains the neighbor, one's self, their own environment, and the larger home environment. It supports the tax base, the schools, the stores, and it sustains that one element of a secure society, its industrial base. Without a manufacturing core, there isn't any security for the whole picture, just a bunch of gateheads thinking they're safe in their own little worlds.
Perception isn't an educated person's method of making sound decisions.
No one will rescue a society on the downslide with a shrinking industrial base that undermines its safety and security in an unsafe unsecure world. When it sends it money elsewhere to strengthen that 'elsewhere'.
Two things are at the core of a sound strong economy and society.
Education, and manufacturing. One fortifies the self, and the other is fortified by it. Any society that doesn't make its own things is one that doesn't know the value of work and self sustenance. It loses its grip on core values. Step back a moment and think about that.
Skip the small talk about a color or bumper configuration and look at the big picture, and that core of manufacturing, where once fifty percent of the world's industrial capacity, that saved yours and pharmacy no prescripition tramadol my place for us to be safe in, and safe from the world, was in this country, in Michigan, in Detroit, in 1945. Detroit is the country in some measure, and everywhere in this country, part of it is in Detroit. One place.
One wouldn't promote that kind of 'investment' and apply it to one's self or one's own family.
Be proud of what your neighbors build, admire their technological effort, and clamour for more of it, at home, where your dollars are more wisely spent on your neighbor's products, not on someone else's.
Your neighbor is your country. Invest in your country, not someone else's. It comes back to you with a stronger home environment.
That is smart 'investing'.
The Volt is a great product. Buying it makes us stronger. Buying more of it will help lower the price of it. The effect is buying less of someone's oil and investing that money at home.
How clear is that?

"What do you think it takes to produce electricity?! Learn about science before you push your idiotic green agendas on society. You would be better off using the fossil fuel directly rather than converting it to electricity in a power plant with major energy losses and then transporting it by wire to point of use with another major losss and then storing it in a battery which was produced with major environmental consequences!!!! "
Actually, I would love to compare scientific credentials. It appears you are much more ignorant and dense than the "simpleton environmentalists". How about you sit back and dependablehealthcareservices.com learn some facts before running your flapping lips with bullshit.
If you do any amount of basic research into the topic you'll see that the fact of the matter is that hybrid electric vehicles are a great way to reduce dependence on oil and have a NET POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
1) The argument that hybrid vehicles just shift the source of pollution is very shortsighted. First of all, PHEVs energy-based environmental (and political) impact is a function of the power sources that run the electrical grid. As new renewable energy and/or clean energy production technology comes online in the form of solar-thermal plants, offshore wind, on-shore wind, geothermal, carbon-sequestering coal, natural gas, etc, the PHEV vehicles continue to get "greener" and more environmentally friendly, while gasoline ICE vehicles only get less efficient.
2) Even with traditional coal, natural gas, and fuel oil powered power plants, it is much more efficient to centralize power production in one major facility than it is in millions of simple combustion engines in cars. no matter the fuel, combustion engines are in fact incredible INEFFICIENT, with as much as 80% of the actual energy escaping as heat. Large facilities can use advanced technology, materials, and processes that are too expensive or impractical to have in a vehicle, but which can dramatically increase the efficiency of traditional sources of carbon-based fuel, from simply recapturing waste heat that is injected back into the system to other newer, much more complex techniques of increasing conversion efficiency.
On the same token, centralizing the energy production makes it much easier to maintain environmental standards and control pollution. Again, large centralized facilities can use technology that is too expensive or impractical for individual vehicles that can reduce emissions and create a lot less harm to the environment, even if they were burning the VERY SAME type and amount of traditional fossil fuels.
3) all the advantages I've mentioned until this point has entirely disregarded future distributed energy sources such as home and business solar-voltaic panels and small wind turbines, among other future technology. Many people will be able to provide for a large amount of their home and vehicle energy needs through these systems. Obviously, the same cannot be done with a conventional gasoline or diesel vehicle.
Right now, hybrid electric vehicles that use petrol, diesel, biodiesel, ect are an important part of the transition to an all-renewable system. Although Hydrogen, natural gas, methane, etc is also a possiblity, the infrastructure to support it is not build yet. It's going to require an ENORMOUS amount of work and subsequent energy use and impact on the environment to build out the infrastructure to support, say, a nationwide hydrogen-based fuel system. They have to build out new plants to create hydrogen, pipelines, storage containers, etc. And even then, you still have to have a major distribution network to support the transporation of the hydrogen to individual fuel stations. This may become the future of transportation, but right now in the short-term, it is a whole lot easier and cheaper to focus first on reducing demand of conventional fuel through hybrid electric and levitra 20 plugin-hybrid electric vehicles. We already have an energy grid, even if it needs some work to support the new demand of electricity.
Regardless whether the future lies with hydrogen vehicles, all-electric, hybrid electric-biofuel, hybrid electric- hydrogen, etc, these unconventional means of powering vehicles are going to be a critical part of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and reversing climate change.
Instead of ranting your mindless drivel, perhaps you should spend some time educating yourself.

Yeah, kind of like the impossible task of building the infrastructure to basically switch out our dependence on land lines to cell phones or wireless devises huh? Man that was soooo hard. We could rid ourselves of oil if we really wanted to...we could build hydrogen stations just as easily as we built microwave towers for cell phones. The oil companies just don't want us to go there yet. They are the ones winding teh key on teh back of Bush and Cheney you know.

So, why would anyone be upset with the 40mile pure electric range? I dont know. Maybe they are driving 41miles per day and they _want_ to pay the more expensive form of energy (gas) rather than have the cheaper version (electric) fuel their ride.
Price per mile the electric is cheaper than gas, desiel, natural gas and viagra order no prescription hydrogen. A lot cheaper. So much in fact that electric looks like a no brainer. GM have come out and said that the Volt tech is based on the different types of fuels being used in different engines to give power to the electric motors when the battery is low on juice. e85, hydrogen, AIR, natural gas, etc are all future posibilities. They will all most likely still be more expensive than just plugging into the wall at home/work. (except air, maybe)
The volt's 40mile range electric (unlimited range if you stop for gasoline) could give reduce a families fuel bill to 6-10$ a week from 25-30$ (40miles a day, 35miles per gallon gas).
I doubt this is a scam. The Ev1 was leased because it cost over 80k each. It was a failure.. I wouldnt mind having one or a similar car if it was cheaper. 40k for a volt is too much.. 30-35k maybe.. that is more like it.

As for those concerned about the possible $40,000 price tag? Think about what the Volt will force other companies to do! Not long after the Volt is introduced Toyota and televideocom.com Honda will be in the mix, upgrading their hybrid technologies to compete, thus driving down prices! So, most middle/lower class people can't afford the brand-new Volt 40k sticker, but in 2012, say (when the Volt's competition arrives), the price for Volt or alternatives will probably be around the high twenty-thousand dollar range. Look at the long term effects of the Volt, and stop being so short-sighted, people!

Factors that could make parts of it cheaper to build than a Prius; Mechanically the electric motor and gas charger concept is probably simpler than a complete gas motor and a complete electric motor. Perhaps the "converter" component in the Prius will also be absent. So if the batteries fall in cost, I see the car in the 19-26K range possibly in year three.
And this: a good way to know who not to listen to on a forum: the guy posts 95% personal invective and 5% (some wrong) facts.
Simple-the guy just answers factual questions factually and saves everyone the stress hormones. Unless you're starved for attention? Then go to a bar, a shrink or an "alt" newsgroup. That's what they are there for.

To those saying drilling is a dumb idea - I don't think anyone is claiming that drilling off shore is going to solve the long term issue of oil (think 10 years) but there is certainly something to be said for lessening the impact (and money) that goes to OPEC while we're working on this conversion over to electric vehicles.
All that being said, the volt is a brilliant first step. Personally I need a little more than 40 miles but I know that's enough for most. The volt does in fact regenerate electricity when braking for those who are concerned about that and as others posted even when running on gas it gets 50 mpg - that's better than anything out there. One of the main reasons for this is that the engine runs at peak efficiency, no more shifting and www.tevaka.com watching the tach peak out and know that your mpg is going in the crapper. As for electricity costs, GM is actually conservative as most states have average prices of *less* than 10c/ kw-hr (exception to the Northeast,CA and TX) (http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/e...5_6_a.html)
Overall, I'd say I'd like to lease this vehicle because, as others have pointed out, the cost will only go down in the future with competition and economies of scale so buying while it's expensive doesn't make the most fiscal sense. Lease for 3 years and then you'll be able to get one of the mid/upper 20's with, more than likely, a greater range.
One closing thought - I'd like to see GM make this vehicle without as many batteries and a bigger fuel tank so they can ramp up the economies of scale even faster (think like 10 miles per charge but still getting 50 mpg and make the tank size 8 or 9 gallons instead of 7).
And for those who are curious - cows and pigs have a greater impact on "greenhouse" gases than all of transportation in the US combined so if you're really worried about carbon emissions that much stop eating meat. As for me, I'm having a hamburger for lunch

Chris Taylor, GM didn't kill the EV1, the US market and consumer killed it with our thirst for oil and gasoline under $1 during the late 1990s. Why not hydrogen? Why not solar film on the roof? Simple the infrastructure and/or technology doesn't exist yet. One of your constituents equated the task of developing a hydrogen refueling network to the proliferation of cell phone signal availability. The example is simplistic at best. You cannot compare this task to that of launching a few satellites and best levitra price erecting cell towers. The Volt is one execution to wean us off of oil. There will be others. That said there is not 1 silver bullet to take society away from using fossil fuel. It will only come from the development and employment of multiple technologies. This vehicle is a great advancement in sustainable technology and GM a US icon will be the first to the market. As Americans we should be proud of that. It is hard to believe there are so many negative comments. How about a little rooting for the home team. The success of our industry effects the lives of everyone in this blog. The biggest fallacy among our US citizens/consumers is that GM, Ford and Chrysler make bad vehicles that are over-sized and gas guzzlers. Do some research; GM is the only company to make large hybrid motors i.e those used in SUVs and more importantly in buses. All hybrid powered bus engines are GM engines. Look at the recent product launches from GM and Ford. Many of the vehicles are class leading in fuel economy, reasonably sized and attractively styled.

Combining transportation with other energy use is probably good, if it helps us focus on one problem to solve. But how much of this is saving energy use, and how much of this is just transferring it to the utility companies?
written by EV, September 17, 2008
We are going to handle the increased load by a combination of keeping power plants online that would otherwise shut down at night and building some more to supply an extra, which will most likely be needed anyways to handled the ever increasing daytime load.
As to energy savings, total efficiency from the grid is 80%, from coal burning to electric motor drive. Efficiency after the power has been generated, passed through the grid, and charged into a Lithium battery is over 95%. ICE engines are about 25% at best. That is a huge increase of efficiency. And yes, the utilities are going to make money onthis. They supply the electricity. If you want to install your own solar panels, generator or windmill, you can do so and decrease your monthly bill.
written by EV, September 17, 2008
Q: And why do we have to use gas to charge the battery?
A: You can use a wall outlet. They offer a gas engine as it is the easies fuel source to aquire in the US right now.
Q: Why not hydrogen?
A: Where would you buy the hydrogen from? I know of no hydrogen station in my state.
Q: Why not ulitize thin solar film on the roof of the car?
A: Too expensive for the energy collected and it would be in no way capable of maitaining the cars batter while driving.
Q: Why not utilize the energy caused by the brakes to recharge and lengthen the life of the batteries in city driving?
A: The Volt does do this.
Q: What happened to the NIMH batteries?
A: The power density of NIMH are less then that of Li-Ion.
Q: Has their patent run out?
A: No. Which reminds me, on the matter of NiMH batteries:

If and when GM begins production of the Volt it will be a game changer. It will force all the other car manufacturers to respond and www.cialis.com his can only be a positive result. All details be damed, if we can reduce our need for petroleum we will be better off as individuals, as a society and as a world. You are what you do, not what you say.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? You've got to be 1 of the dumbest people ever posting in the history of the internet. I cant think of another way to convert energy to motion thats more efficient than an electric motor. If 90% efficiency isn't good for you, perhaps you should look into one of the the other cars on the market... with their 15-20% efficiency petrol driven motors. Because it makes perfect sense to burn 80% of the oil bought from overseas. Much more sense than an electric car which only uses power that would've gone to waste overnight..........

Personally, I would have preferred GM went with the concept design for the Volt, but I understand why they didn't. It's still a sweet car. A bit expensive for my taste, as I drive a $7000 GMC Sierra with over 200 thousand miles that's still the most useful vehicle I have ever owned. Nary a fault with that truck. Whoever says GM (or America) can't build decent vehicles is making an uninformed blanket statement.
I would like to see more technical information regarding the Volt powertrain, specifically as it applies to wearing/replacement parts. Are the motors brushed or brushless? I know it has regenerative braking, but how much does that ease wear on the actual brake pads? Did GM even USE standard style brake pads, or are they expensive one-offs for the Volt? Things like that.
Overall, I think it's a great idea that is even better because the technology can be upgraded with time and will dovetail nicely into a future upgraded power grid or more efficient/greener engine technology.
I'd like mine in black, please.

First of all, does this Volt make cookies too? Why do we want to maintain the cars batter.
Mr. Lutz, one of the Executive Whoopdeedoos at GM was on Steven Colbert in a very funny interview...and he claimed that they are offering an accesssory of a solar cell on teh roof to charge the car when parking it in the sunn..let;s say while at work al day. 8 hours of solar charging get you a full charge. Now there a big shift in our thinking. I usually am pissed if parking spots are full in my parking garage and I have to park on the roof...in the sun...NOW, there will be a fight for those very same spots.
This changes everything for me. Now GM is thinking rationally...I like this accessory.

My sister owns a Prius and we took it to the Grand Canyon and it did great on gas. I was impressed with it. But the Chevy Volt will best the Prius. I agree that the more competition the auto industry has; the more the consumers will win out in the long run. The Prius was the first REAL alernative for the consumer and the Volt is just a step or two above above it.
The Volt will completely sell out of all inventory at the dealerships.
More competiton will come to follow from other auto makers.
Costs will continue to drop.
Then I'll be in line for the Volt in around it 4th year of production.

Also, regarding his comment that the current railways are grossly inefficient in moving freight, modern business disagrees, and has been buying up stock in railroads for the past few years, including Warren Buffet. He knows that the railroads are still the best, pound-for-pound of moving large freight most efficiently. You never see coal on a semi-truck have you? A gallon of diesel fuel can move one short ton of weight 400 miles... that's pretty efficient. (Wikipedia: Fuel efficiency in transportation)
Main article: Diesel locomotive
EMD GP50 diesel-electric freight locomotives of the Burlington Northern RailroadStarting in the 1940s, the diesel-powered locomotive began to displace steam power on American railroads.
As is the case with any vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine, diesel locomotives require some type of power transmission system to couple the output of the prime mover to the driving wheels. In the early days of diesel railroad propulsion development, electric, hydraulic and www.richcongress.com mechanical power transmission systems were all employed with varying degrees of success. Of the three, electric transmission proved to be most practical, and, except for some diesel-hydraulic locomotives manufactured for lower power applications, nearly all modern Diesel-powered locomotives are diesel-electric.

I would buy an non-luxururious EV today (under $20K) for running my usual short-range trips, but current law forbids EV's from running on roads with speed limits of 45 mph--which includes our local expressways. I hardly ever drive on freeways (prefer the expressways for better safety), but I'd settle for being allowed to drive on our local expressways in a non-luxury-priced EV.
Which all boils down to convincing local/state governments to allow EV's in the SLOWER lanes on our local expressways. Work on your City Councils for changes in regulations and motor vehicle laws.

1. When did the laws of physics change?
2. How do you get more than 100% output from a 90% efficient process?
3. Aren't the chemicals used to create these wonderful, extremely efficient batteries highly toxic?
4. If I can afford only a $25,000 car, can I get a government subsidy to pay for the rest of it? They tried this in Arizona and almost bankrupted the State. All you had to do was install a 2½ gallon propane tank in your trunk paid for by the government. Because of the scarcity of fill-up locations, there was no requirement that you actually use propane. The most popular vehicle was the Cadillac Escalade. Does this sound worse than a bank bailout?
5. What does it really cost to keep these babies running? You know, home and office electricity for recharge? Battery replacements? Electric motor and generator maintenance? Additional cost for repairs after an accident? Land fill expenses for parts that cannot be recycled? Costs of recycling? Disposing of my current energy ineffiecient vehicle? Ya know, the whole ball of wax.

Each person who responds to God's call to ministry enters into a process of preparing, of getting fit," for ministry. This period of "cross training"-involving everything from volunteer work and advanced education to times of intense personal reflection and vocational training-is as unique and varied as those individuals whom God calls into his service. Here are the stories of three people who discovered that seminary education, when combined with life experience, provided a vital component in their being equipped for ministry in the twenty-first century.
For Felicia Brown, a senior deputy probation officer with San Diego County for the past 15 years, getting a master of divinity degree is but one more step in "a whole chain of events" that is moving her from social services to pastoral ministry. Brown feels called to "prepare the church to do social services," she says, a responsibility the church has, for the most part, relinquished to the government. "I should be able to call the church on the corner and say, 'Pastor, this is a family that needs help. Can your church pick up the pieces here?'"
In addition to working as a probation officer in 19 San Diego schools, Brown is associate pastor at Imani Temple Church of God in Christ in Temecula, California. Although she already has a master's degree in counseling psychology, Brown began attending seminary two years ago in response to a call to ministry that she describes as "something that had been on my life all of my life, but it took me until a couple of years ago to recognize it" she says.
Brown's professional experience has convinced her that social service agencies should be able to work in conjunction with the church. "Agencies are collaborating their resources, but what's missing in the collaboration is the church," she notes. "I see the church going full circle to the point where it will be the agency to pick up the pieces that the government is dropping. And at the same time as it meets the needs in the social services arena, the church will reconcile people back to Christ."
Three years ago, businessman George Lee began working toward an M.Div. degree through an evening seminary program. An economist with a well-established career in marketing and sales, Lee says his call to ministry came in phases. "For me, attending seminary is not only about the pursuit of biblical knowledge but also about how to exercise and prepare myself for the next step," he says.
Lee has had a successful career as senior vice president for a major direct marketing company; as the chief operating officer for a $100 million insurance company; and, most recently, as senior vice president of marketing and sales for a high-tech research company. Lee says he decided to slow down his career track after the death of his wife three years ago in order to "become much more involved with my family and God's mission for my life."
The son of a Taiwanese diplomat who has lived in the United States for 35 years, Lee chairs the board of deacons of the Minnesota Mandarin Christian Church. Formed two years ago with the mission of introducing Chinese seekers to Christ, the church targets young professionals. "With the increasing number of Chinese exchange scholars and students coming to the Twin Cities, we feel that there are some great opportunities for the gospel," Lee said.
Although he serves as a translator and Sunday-school teacher at the church, preaches occasionally, and hosts a weekly Bible study in his home, Lee says he is not preparing for full-time pastoral ministry. "My mission statement in life is to be a blessing to someone each day," he says. "I only pray that the Lord will give me enough love, courage, and wisdom to accept the challenges he has for me in the future."
Nine years ago, Oleg Voskrensensky came to the United States from Moscow to attend a Russian Orthodox seminary. Though a non-Christian at the time, he had an academic interest in studying Christianity. What he did not anticipate was that he would become a Christian while at the seminary, a decision that changed the course of his life.
After transferring to Bethel Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota, Voskrensensky completed an M.Div. degree; then, a ministry to the Russian immigrant church began to open up for him. "God wants me to use my knowledge of different languages, cultures, and church traditions in teaching and preaching the message of his love, acceptance and peace," he says.
Voskrensensky is currently enrolled in a master's program in communication through Bethel's Center for Graduate and Continuing Studies. In addition, he works as an employment counselor for World Relief Minnesota, serves as one of the pastors of a Slavic Evangelical Church, and maintains a Russian Christian Web page.
The site, which offers bilingual theological materials and the Russian Bible in digital form, has proved to be a valuable tool for ministry worldwide, according to Voskrensensky. The Internet is highly valued by Russian academic and business populi, most of whom are either atheists or nominal Orthodox Christians, he says. "It opens up new avenues to groups of people who have not been reached by conventional evangelism."
Being fit for ministry, Voskrensensky notes, requires having a strong theological grounding, ongoing cross-cultural communication experience, Internet design literacy, and homiletic and writing skills. His ministry call, he says, is to "those of both Russian and American culture and of any church tradition, who have limited God by the boundaries of their own culture or denomination."

Simple and easy. I am looking for Biblical support (not opinion) for and against the view of predestination. Predestination is the view that all events are willed by God. I'm looking for both sides of the view, not just one side. What Biblical evidence exists for/against predestination?
In Support
Even the dice fall according to God's plan.
God works everything according to his will.
God has written down (in other words, planned to the letter!) every day of our life before they even come to pass.
God knows how many hairs you have. He's counted them.
And now allow me to quote at length Louis Berkof, Systematic Theology, pg. 168, quoted in the Reformation Study Bible
I'm not very familiar with verses against Predestination, but as I understand it, a lot of the argument against it is an interpretive argument; and those who are opposed to the doctrine would say the verses above are more general in nature and are simply talking about his omnipotence, not his nitty-gritty control over the details. I'll leave it to someone more versed in this position to answer for the against side.
"Predestination is the view that all events are willed by God." Sorry, but biblical opposition to this definition is found in the very use of the word.
Romans 8:29
The context is that God has predestined, or predetermined, that all who walk in faith in Jesus will be conformed to His Son; they will undergo the process of conformity to His Son. God has predestined a process, not individuals.
Unfortunately, people isolate the verse and don't read it according to the context in Romans. Throughout Romans we find that we have choices and they can alter our destiny so that we undego this process or not. What started us on this process? God choosing us beforehand? No, through our faith in Jesus upon hearing the gospel:
Rom. 3:26
We have daily choices to live holy or not, to live for God or the flesh, and those choices will determine our future:
Rom. 6:16
If we live according to the flesh, then we will die, but if we surrender to the Spirit to die to the flesh, we shall live:
Rom. 8:13
Which direction leads us to conformity to Christ? Which goes against it?
In none of these chapters in Romans 1-8 do we find Paul telling us that God chose us before we were born or that our destiny is preordained because He chose us. That thought is entirely absent from Romans 1-8. Romans 1-8 sets the foundation for understanding the word predestinated in Romans 8. Everything we need to learn about predestination has already been written in Romans 1-8. That's right: we don't need Calvin or Arminius :) .
What about Romans 8:28?
Romans 8:28
That is the sense the believer receives who has surrendered all to God out of love, and has allowed Him to work in his life. He is not trusting in his flesh, and found that God is working out His will in all the events of his life. God can freely move in that life in all things because the believer has surrendered to God that way, giving Him full permission to move as He wishes. The verse does not mean that God moves against our wills. Read Romans 1-8 to see this in context. This is the person who has undergone the predestined process of conformity to Christ and is enjoying its fruits.
If your definition of predestination is - "Predestination is the view that all events are willed by God", then I would say that the Bible doesn't support this at all.
If all events were willed by God, it would be absolutely redundant for Jesus to ask us to pray this way -
If God's will is always done, we don't need to pray that his will be done. God's will is always done in only one sense - God's will is that man have free will and choose God or reject God.
