Front struts and suspension replaced 70000
Brakes rebuilt 70000
3rd alternator replacement 90000
Left window motor replaced 90000
Front rotors replaced 90000.
General Comments:
Oh my god.
This was the first 'newer' type car I ever purchased. For a few thousand at the time I could have gotten a new car and I will never make that mistake again. Didn't get the used dealers extended warranty for a grand. Big mistake on my part.
Right out of the gate the alternator went bad. A grand to replace and a lot of time as the first one installed burned out a few weeks later. Then there were issues with the suspension, then the brakes, the the alternator again, then the window stopped working, then the brakes again.
Had I found this site before my purchase I never would have gotten this car. It is fairly comfortable on the inside and has a sporty zip to it, but the electrical system is seriously under engineered. They should have recalled the whole line.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

A grand for an Alternator? Surely could have got by cheaper than that. The replacement then burned up, but that's not the car's fault. Not unusual to replace rotors at 90000 miles. Real issue here may be that buyer paid too much for a used car in the first place.

I have to agree with the original Author. The Alternators go out way too often. Just replaced one about a year ago and it's on the way out again. The car is extremely buggy. The lower intake manifold started leaking at 100,000 miles. $900.00 bucks to replace. The water pump went out at 115,000 miles another $500 bucks. etc etc.

It's more expensive to make an older car new than to build a new car!
I have two 96-97 cars, Both auction cars and both have cost more to make right than the purchase prices. one is a 97 achieva quad-4.
I've had most of the complaints mentioned. 3 window motors out, motor mounts, axle shafts, brakes. But I bought it at 98000 miles and expected some problems.
I have no car payments, but I'm way over blue book and still have an old car I'd rather not own.

Sell in May, But Don't Go Away
Declan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The most recent high for the S&P qualified the market under a 'sell' criteria for my Investing Strategy. The last time this happened was in March-April 2012, when the index went on to shed nearly 11% from peak-to-trough by the time the market bottomed in June 2012. However, this should not be viewed as a clarion call to sell everything, but may instead offer a better opportunity to generate income using a covered call strategy; or at least sell underperforming stocks that are likely to get hit hardest by any subsequent broad market sell-off.
March Income Review
I had highlighted three stocks that had potential as covered call candidates. Tesoro Corporation (NYSE: TSO) was one of the early features from March 2012. Its May $55 call was offered at $4.70, and is now around $3.20 with expiration this week. This could be rolled into an August $60 expiration with a bid around $4.05. May earnings are already out of the bag: Q1 earnings in the absence of special items was $0.67 a share off $93 million; this compared very favorably with the $56 million and $0.39 per share earnings from the same quarter last year. The company also ended the quarter with $2 billion in chump change. Going forward, it was "optimistic" on U.S refining market conditions, with a sub-10 forward P/E suggesting further price upside with competitors trading at P/E's around 10.8.
Krispy Kreme Doughtnuts (NYSE: KKD) offered a May $13 call at $1.20, and this contract may close flat after the stock peaked in the $15's during mid-March. An analyst downgrade sent the rats scurrying, but the stock is up over 60% since it was featured back in October. The company trades at a P/E similar to Dunkin' Brands Group, but with a forward P/E around 10% more competitive than its rival at 19.1. However, the selling volume associated with the downgrade suggests few are willing to support the current P/E in the forties, so it might be time to lighten the load.
Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC) took more of a battering in April after a lengthy advance. Better than expected earnings from what was "one of the industry's weakest volume quarters in memory" gave bulls something to work with, but April saw sharp spikes in selling volume which will keep sidelined buyers skeptical. "Pocketbook" factors: a mix of higher co-pays, lower paychecks, and a soft economy will continue to pressure earnings, and the recovery noted in April may not be sustainable without improvement in these segments. In addition, the company noted how patients were opting for plans with higher deductibles, with a 25% rise in patients carrying deductibles in excess of $1,200. Higher deductibles means fewer admissions. With premiums rising, the likelihood is for this to get worse as health care providers offer 'cheaper' plans with even higher deductibles. I had originally featured Tenet Healthcare in November 2012 when it traded around $25, but now that it's trading in the upper-$40s it looks a good time to let this one go.
Despite the strong rally in the S&P, a number of featured stocks simply haven't managed to keep pace. These stocks are likely to suffer more than others when the broader market rally fades. The Materials and Commodity plays have suffered the most: Potash Saskatwchewan, Freeport-McMoRan Copper, Randgold Resources and Pan American Silver are down between 5% and 35% from their featured prices. Materials have managed to recover a little in recent weeks, but it's a long way back for the Precious Metals miners: lower commodity prices and increased mining costs will keep the pressure on and drive share prices lower.
I have already covered the disappointment of Penn Virginia after its massive share dilution. Auxilium Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AUXL) is down over 30% from its original feature in June 2012. The stock was hit by weak Q1 earnings, which itself knocked 13% off the share price. Its primary revenue generator, Testim, saw a 22% drop in sales, generating $45.5 million. While Xiaflex saw a more modest drop in sales of 4% to generate $12 million (although $7.4 million of this was from Pfizer), not surprisingly the company lowered guidance for the year. A slowdown in global Testerone Replacement Therapy contributed to the weaker Testim sales, and this is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future. Auxilium Pharmaceuticals looks to be placing its growth prospects on its recent Actient acquisition and the $125 million in sales it brings to the table.
Other also-rans include Garmin, down over 20%, although its 5% yield will have alleviated this loss to a certain extent. And The Fresh Market, with a loss approaching 25% from its feature price. Two very weak quarters hammered the stock as same store sales growth limped at 1.9%, compared to 5.7% over 2012. This reduced guidance from $1.68 per share down to the $1.51-1.58 range. Further misses will lengthen the projected P/E of 22.6, with competitors trading at an average P/E of 26.7 (although Whole Foods Market runs at a more heated P/E of 35.0).
Luckily, a number of stocks have gone on to exceed expectations. I have already covered the big gainers of Tesoro Corporation, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Tenet Healthcare. Honorable mention to Obagi Medical Products, which was bought out for a 70% gain on its feature price. The other big winner on the list is Medidata Solutions (NASDAQ: MDSO).
Medidata Solutions got a healthy boost at the end of last month after reporting record Q1 results. Comparable quarterly revenues were up 26%, with backlog growth of 46% over the comparable year last. 31% year-over-year growth came from application services, which accounted for $50 million in revenue. Customer retention and upselling were key factors in earnings growth. This had exceeded the company's own expectations: "On the heels of Q4's record sales performance, our team had the best first quarter in history;" all good signs for the quarters ahead. As a finishing touch, cash holdings also increased by $12 million to $124 million in total. The stock is up over 90% from its original in August 2012.
A cluster of stocks have had a good run over the past few months, but the pick of the bunch is Pinnacle Entertainment. It gained 33% in the past couple of months, to give it an overall 55% return on its feature price. The Ameristar merger is expected to close by Q3 of this year, which will offer $40 million in savings. Revenues increased 6.7% year-over-year, although performance of individual properties was mixed, with weakness usually attributed to remodeling-related disturbances. A new $20 million development is planned for New Orleans, to open in Q2 2014.
Any stock up over 25% in the past couple of months is worth looking at as a covered call opportunity. Nine (out of 104) stocks featured in my articles have achieved this goal. The aforementioned Medidata Solutions has June $70 calls offered at $1.70, while Pinnacle Entertainment has September $20 calls offered at $1.65.
For many people, this is great opportunity to restock the cash coffers in preparation for the next move higher. This can be achieved by cutting losers, taking partial profits on gains, or selling covered calls. The next leg down may offer 10% discounts or more, even allowing fresh opportunities to buy back the same stocks for less! Although each major rally is typically led by a different group of stocks. You want to make sure you have the funds to buy the next winners.

Sarah Palin on Paul Revere
So on her national bus tour last week, Sarah Palin made her way through Boston and decided give reporters a hilariously inaccurate history lesson on Boston legend Paul Revere and his famous "Midnight Ride." But in typical Sarah Palin style she makes matters worse by going on TV after the fact and defended her statements.
Presenting the boob cam
Woman arrested driving with her top down
Police pulled over Keila De Oliveira Leite in Stuart, Fla., for driving erratically on May 30. They accused her of driving on the wrong side of the road, traveling 20 miles below the speed limit and passing a Martin County deputy who tried to stop her, TCPalm.com reported.
When she finally stopped, police found Leite, 21, topless behind the wheel with what appeared to be weed sticking out of her purse on the floor of the car, according to the police report. Cops searched the car and claim they found a pot pipe, too.
Not only was the suspect naked from the waist up, she was "argumentative" about covering up, according to the police report. However, she was wearing a shirt by the time her mug shot was taken.
After reportedly failing several sobriety tests, she was charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Police started chasing Leite after she drove away from the scene of a fight.
Is claiming that a mannequin is your wife strange?
Ned Nefer, 38, says he's married to a mannequin named Teagan, and the kooky couple is traveling 70 miles from Syracuse to Watertown on foot.
Or at least Nefer is walking. The Syracuse native is pushing his 6-foot wooden wife in a wheelchair across upstate New York.
"This is definitely one of the oddest things I've come across, but he seems very happy," said Lisa Spear, principal social welfare examiner for the Jefferson County Department of Social Services.
"I wouldn't classify him as dangerous at all," she told the newspaper after meeting with Nefer. "He seemed quite happy in his own little world."
Nefer's relationship is one that's built on trust - and lumber. He told the WDT that Teagan was only a head when they first met. But he built her a wooden body and claims they were married on Oct. 31, 1986, in California. Nefer was taking the mannequin to Watertown's Children's Home, where he first laid eyes on her noggin.
People are just so jaded and cynical these days. Here is a guy in love and everyone thinks he's crazy. He is taking his wife back to where the first met - what could be more romantic. Most husbands can't be bothered to get off the sofa to help their wife with the groceries. Mind you Teagan is likely the perfect wife - she never talks back.
TSA does it again, harasses mentally disabled man
The Mandy family says they were on their way to the happiest place on earth (Disney), but had to go through hell to get there.
"I realize they're trying to keep people safe, but come on, does he look like a terrorist?" said Dr. David Mandy.
The family was going through security when two TSA agents singled Drew Mandy out for a special pat down. Drew is severely mentally disabled. He's 29, but his parents said he has the mental capacity of a two-year-old, which made the experience that followed at metro Detroit's McNamera Terminal that much harder to deal with.
Dr. Mandy claimed they asked Drew to place his feet on the yellow shoe line, something he didn't understand. They proceeded to pat his pants down, questioning the padding which was his adult diapers. When the agents asked Drew to take his hand and rub the front and back of his pants so they could swab it for explosives, his dad stepped in and tried to explain that Drew was mentally challenged.
"They said, 'Please, sir, we know what we're doing,'" Mandy said.
You got to love the way TSA staff harass the disabled. People in wheelchairs. Kids in diapers. You just know that Drew Many was going to take down that plane with his plastic hammer. Hey you just know how tricky al Qaeda can be. How do we know they aren't actively recruiting mentally handicapped Americans by offering them ice cream and chocolate chip cookies.

What I missed while I was away
Then a see a big fuss over some nude pics of Blake Lively actually taken by Blake. Idol minds and iPhones are a dangerous combination again. I understand her publicist is claiming they are fake. Hmm a great looking fake then.
I've missed all of the Stanley Cup finals so far. I see although the series is even at 2-2, though the Canucks have been crushed in the last two games after Rome scrambled Horton's brain on a late blind side hit. Good to see hockey hasn't changed while I was away.
But my favourite is the slapped with a $220-fine for driving in an HOV lane on the QEW outside Toronto. The man placed a blow up doll clad in a jacket and cap in the passenger seat. Nice try buddy.
Student faces possible 8 year sentence for blow up doll prank
A Rushville High School senior faces a felony charge after taking a blow-up doll to school as part of what he claims was a prank. School officials called police after a package was found in a girls' bathroom. A deflated blow-up doll was later found inside the box.
Tyell Morton, 18, was arrested on a preliminary charge of felony criminal mischief after he admitted to taking the doll to school. He said it was meant to be a senior prank.
"I'm facing eight years for a doll, a plastic doll," Morton said. "I didn't put anybody's name on it, nothing. Now I'm a terrorist for a prank gone wrong. It's life-changing. It's traumatizing."
The family's attorney, Robert Turner, said the charge is excessive. "It's interesting that had he gone to school with a gun, there would've been a lesser charge. It would've been a Class D felony with up to three years," he said. Morton has since been released on bail. He is banned from school property and will miss his graduation ceremony.
I totally get it. Tyrell has been identified as the new leader of al Qaeda now that Bin Laden has been killed. No doubt Homeland Security has figured out that terrorists were planning to hijack airplanes using blow up dolls. The dolls were to be used to seduce unsuspecting pilots and then they would overpower the pilots and takeover the planes. What can I say other than brilliant!

Dad drops daughter to try for a foul ball
Shakira pole dances in newest video
Just what every 7 year old girl wants, a boob job
She made the headlines last year when she confessed to teaching her then six-year-old daughter Poppy to pole dance. And now Sarah Burge is back in the spotlight again - for all the wrong reasons.
The 50-year-old mother - a self-confessed plastic surgery addict known as The Human Barbie - has boasted that she gave a £6,000 breast enlargement voucher to her daughter for her seventh birthday.
Miss Burge, who has spent more than £500,000 on her own surgical enhancements and wants to make her daughter into a glamour model, said Poppy 'squealed with delight' when she was given the voucher.She said: 'Poppy begged me for a boob job, so I gave her the voucher so she can have it after she's 16, when it's legal.
'If she develops naturally big boobs, she can have something else done with it.'
The voucher was part of a £12,000 'exotic pamper party' that Miss Burge organised to mark her daughter's birthday.source

Tombstone falls on woman while having cemetery sex
A woman who may have been engaged in sexual activity in Ahavath Israel Cemetery, Trenton, on Tuesday evening was injured when a tombstone fell on her leg, police said.
The 39-year-old woman was not badly hurt, no criminal investigation of the two was launched after the administration decided not to file a criminal complaint.
The woman was with a male friend in the graveyard off Cedar Lane just before 7 p.m. visiting the grave of a relative. When the two engaged in some "extracurricular activities," one of the grave markers rolled onto the woman's leg, Capt. James Stevens said.
The woman was taken by ambulance to Capital Health Regional Medical Center for treatment. Police did not know the extent of her injuries.
This has to be the kinky sex story of the week. But what about all the salacious details? So if a stone falls and her legs and not his that can only mean one thing. She was giving head. You know I can just see the headlines on this one if the stone had done more damage to the two, "man and woman were fucking near dead!"
4 year-old art prodigy exhibits in New York
A four-year-old Melbourne girl is drawing fans in New York with her first solo art exhibition. Aelita Andre is said to be the youngest professional painter in the world, and has been compared to the likes of artistic giants Picasso and Jackson Pollock.
Her work is already commanding top dollar, with a Hong Kong collector last year paying $24,000 for one of her pieces. Now her colourful paintings are on display at the Agora Gallery in Manhattan.
Gallery director Angela di Bello says Aelita, who produced her first meaningful body of work before turning two, is a talented artist. "What's interesting about her work is that I also I find that it is abstract expressionism, but that she's also surrealist in the way she includes objects in her works and how she includes those objects," she said.
"She is completely and utterly innocent, just with an innocent eye almost coming to a canvas," said her father Michael. Andre's solo exhibition, aptly named The Prodigy Of Colour, runs until June 25.
Just what everyone needs: a PhD in comic book studies
Graduates on the course will study the impact of comics on the worlds of art, literature and popular culture. The degree programme will be led by Dr Chris Murray, one of the UK's leading authorities on comics, and editor of the Studies in Comics journal.
Dr Murray said: "This is a very exciting time for comics scholarship, and I am delighted to be able to offer this postgraduate course on comics. This is a unique opportunity to give this important medium the attention it deserves, and to allow those with an interest in comics to study it in detail." A PhD in comic studies will also be available to those who have completed the MLitt course.
This just illustrates the value of a university education and why I get so many job applications from post graduate degree students.
Man pulls out gun at party when kids miss out on cake and ice cream
Police arrested a man in South Memphis on Saturday after he allegedly threatened the host of a child's birthday party with a gun because his children didn't get any cake or ice cream.
Joseph Hayes, 48, was arrested late on Saturday night and was charged with aggravated assault. According to a police affidavit, Hayes became upset and began yelling at the victim because "Y'all didn't save my kids no damn ice cream and cake."
Hayes then left the party and went to his apartment. He returned with a small black handgun tucked into the back of his pants, approached the host, lifted up his shirt and said, "I ain't scared to go to jail, just take care of my kids."
The host then called police and said she was in fear of her life. After being arrested, Hayes told police that he did not take a gun to the party, just an object that looked like one when tucked in his pants.
Contortionist hid in suitcase to steal from tourists
Tourists only realized their things were missing when they arrived at their hotels and opened their bags. For weeks detectives were baffled as to how so many items were being regularly stolen on the bus route between Girona airport and Barcelona, in Catalonia, north east Spain. Last Friday they were alerted by a suspicious member of the public to a large suitcase that had just been loaded on the bus.
When they opened it up the shocked officers found a man curled up inside. It appears that one person bought a bus ticket from Girona airport to Barcelona, then put a large suitcase in the baggage hold with the other passengers' luggage. A second person had hidden inside the suitcase, and when the bus set off he got out of the suitcase and, using a flashlight, looked for valuables in the rest of the bags, which he then hid inside a smaller bag.
I'm back!
Just got back from a cruise to Alaska. They feed you far too much on cruise ships. I haven't gotten up the nerve to step onto the scale. We had good weather for southeastern Alaska with means virtually no rain. The rain forests along the coast get dumped on a lot. Will be posting pictures and videos in the days to come.

Those wacky Australians! Even their soccer brawls are unique. This one, which happened during the Central Australian Football League Under-17 grand final between Rovers FC and Hermannsburg FC at Traeger Park, and started with a player being red-carded, leaving the field and then returning. Punches were thrown, the referee was assaulted, and before you knew it more than a hundred players and fans were involved. Before it was all over, three cops had be assaulted: one had his shirt ripped off, one was struck with a wooden flag pole, and a third was somehow bitten on the leg.
This all happened just days after there was a peace march in town to ask for an end of all the violence going on between male residents of the town. Looks like they might need to march harder next time.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find any video of this melee, but below is an Australian TV report that does include some still images and some great post-game, post brawl, interviews.

Who Was The Parent In Your Life?Something I am pondering, now Im getting counselling, is WHO brought me up so well. My dad, for his own sanity, was emotionally cold. My grandparents were controlling and very strict. I think, in hindsight, that various aunts and schoolteachers had cottoned on to the situation and stepped in. I certainly spent as much time in school and at friends houses as I could. But I was taught to be such a well-behaved child that I just did as I was told and read in my room, did my homework, went to bed early and kept my head down.Three times from the age of 8 to 12 I was sent to either an aunt or a grandparent for several months at a time - never told why, or when I would go home and having to be schooled in a strange town. And so the months rolled on. When I reached 14, my mother decided that she and I were going to be friends, and as such cried when I wanted to go out. She was intensly jealous and told me so. When I had my first boyfriend her jealousy went off the scale. She did her best to split us up, and part of that was writing a letter to my headmistress so disturbing that my headmistress told me she was contacting social services to see if she could put me with foster carers. As I was 16, it never came to anything, but I would have gladly gone.
it is so - mothers, being neglected by theirs "mad" husbands, turn to their children for love and comfort.. and , inevitabily, ruin their children's lives. Happend to me, too. It is a struggle to turn your back at your mother, but... she deserves it. Believe me, she does. SHE is the only one person responsible for her misery. SHE has decided to stay with him, to let her go ... so you either move on, or you die painfully with her. It is heartbreaking. But she doesn't have the right to ruin your life, either, right?You are NOT the one responsible for her happiness. SHE is. I moved on, and guess what happend? She waked up, and started to take care of herself. YOU are the one to choose. And as I said it is heartbreaking. Because you love her. But if you really love her, you will have to hurt her, in order to help her... and you.
I'm sorry you had those experiences. I can relate with the jealousy : / just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Congratulations on the nomination, Izzy!
3 of their favorite works are:
glowafteronce there was a girl
who would eat the sun
on a frozen beach
i'd watch carefully
never told me why
cause i never asked
sunrise and sunset
she would stare and stare
grow she would nourished
by cosmic cycles
she then glanced at me
her secret smile
when she grew too much
and flew into space
one with the fire
at home, burning core
leaving me behind
a small speck of sand
covered by silent snow
drowned by the still sea
on a clod of dirt
wandering the void
staring, staring at the stars
scapecityhow burghal,
to be citified
a civic civil

megalopolitan man
in his municipal

salt stream tainting your choco latte
my facade rolling in fumes
fiddling pieces of nickel and copper
walking away, cold in a winter coat
there is no last goodbye kiss for us
only soft whimpers and pleas
i lost in the dull people noise
still i tell others what i did to you
was comfortably mutual and agreed upon

i like a smoke or six
drive a poisonstick
deep into my lungs
rot might reach my brain

nights of nicotine haze

clattering, cracking for air in black smoke
mechanical gears frozen mid-routine

hankering for a home that never was
offbeat and lost in a land of oddballs
searching for holes in gates guarding the door
singing strange songs for fabricated friends
fail and fall, disenchant the floor people
stranded roadkill in turnpike rush hour
with twisted fates and destiny condemned
easy fun playing the cop on cocaine
each passing day thinking it's happier
never noticing how more empty fills
run for judgments, opinions, decisions
sold them all for free, those futile votes
flip between bananas and nuts litter
reason, sense, and wit worn away clawing
wish for a tragedys hopeful ending
pondering storming off stage with broke legs
deterred by lucky love and true blue friends
rolled up snake eyes with a knife in the back
reach shadows of bursting supernovas
evaporate atom-sized darkness drop

Clean and protect baby teeth with this gel that's free of fluoride and made especially for children and babies.
By Weleda
Size: 50mL/1.7fl.oz
Country: Germany
Clean and protect baby teeth with this gel that's free of fluoride and made especially for children and babies.
More about this product
Made without the use of artificial fragrances, preservatives, and sulfates, this effective tooth gel was developed with dentists and has a light yet pleasant taste, making it a kid-approved part of your child's daily routine. The finely ground silica cleans, the calendula calms the mouth, and children love the fresh taste.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 hearts
By Napa on June 12, 2013
Doesn't taste good!
I like Weleda products for children but this one is not right for kids. It is very strong and spicy. My daughter didn't like the fennel taste and after one time use she did not want to use it again. Unfortunately I haven't find a natural fluoride free tooth paste which has a kids friendly taste yet!
By Jessica on February 15, 2011
Great for little ones!
Our 2 year old loves that she can squeeze it out herself and she does tend to suck it off the toothbrush, but she's getting better at actually brushing with it.
By Kate on February 16, 2011
Perfect for Children
My daughter loves this tooth gel and I love that it is cleaning and safe at the same time.
By Gls on February 15, 2011
Love it!
I bought this when my oldest began brushing, but they ALL (three of them now!) still love it and prefer it over all other products they have tried. I buy several at a time so we never run out!

"All I Do Is Win" is the second official single from DJ Khaled's fourth studio album Victory. The track features artists T-Pain, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross.[1] It was released on February 8, 2010, along with "Put Your Hands Up". The single was certified Double Platinum by the RIAA.[2] It is the only Billboard Hot 100 charting single from the album.
The music video debuted on BET's 106 and Park on March 3, 2010 along with the video for "Put Your Hands Up". It has DJ Khaled with his BET Awards and is filmed mostly with a green screen. It has a scene of him at the 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards show accepting an award for his song "I'm So Hood (Remix)".[3] The video features cameos from Cam'ron, Trina, Ice Cube, DJ Nasty & LVM, Cool & Dre, Fat Joe, Ace Hood, Rum, Ball Greezy, Triple C's, The Runners, Lil Wayne, the whole Nappy Boy family (except Young Cash), and Maybach Music Group recording artists, Magazeen, Masspike Miles, and Duce Pound. The video is directed by Dayo & Gil Green.
According to DJ Khaled's Twitter, a video for the official remix was shot. The video is also directed by Dayo & Gil Green. Photos of the shoot were also leaked online.[4] A behind-the-scenes video was released on June 2, 2010.[5] The remix's music video was released on June 29, 2010.

On April 28, 2010, the official remix was released. It features Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Nicki Minaj, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz on background vocals, and T-Pain. Jadakiss's verse is a sample from "Allergic to Losing", a song from his 2010 mixtape The Champ Is Here 3. The remix was released as a digital single on iTunes on June 8, 2010. A music video has been shot and was released on June 29, 2010. Red Cafe, Junior Reid, Ace Hood, Gunplay of Triple C's, & DJ Nasty & LVM made cameos on the video. Swizz Beatz was not included in the video. DJ Khaled also raps a verse on the remix.
There is another remix titled "Hood Remix" or "G-Mix" which is by Nappy Boy artist Young Cash. The remix features a new rap line up, Yo Gotti, Gudda Gudda, Bun B, Ice Berg, 2 Chainz, T-Pain, & Field Mob. On this version, instead of T-Pain on the chorus, Young Cash is, while T-Pain delivers a verse of his own. Also Lil Wayne has done a freestyle. T.I. did a verse too.
The song has become an anthem for numerous sports teams, most notably the Auburn Tigers football team during their 2010 national championship season. It was played during the team's pregame entrance video as well as following each home victory in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Milwaukee Brewers also play this song after every home game victory as does the Texas Longhorns football band and the Michigan Wolverines after a men's basketball win. Boxer Devon Alexander uses the song as his entrance music, the Arizona State Sun Devils, Purdue All American Marching Band, and the Arizona State University Sun Devil Marching Band use it during their athletic programs as well as the East Carolina Pirates and LSU Tigers football teams, the Alabama Crimson Tide and Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball teams, Vampire Weekend on their 2010 tour, and it was also used as the celebratory music by the 2010 Stanley Cup champions The Chicago Blackhawks. The New York Knicks professional basketball team also use an instrumental version of the song for their player intros during the 2010–11 NBA season.[7] The Denver Nuggets play this song after every home game victory [8] The Memphis Grizzlies and Nashville Predators use the song after every home game victory. The song has gained popularity among Miami Hurricanes football fans as Snoop Dogg's line "We like the U in the 80's" refers to the University of Miami football team that dominated college football in the 80's and early 90's. It was subsequently arranged for the Band of the Hour, Miami's marching band. Internet mashup artist DJ Earworm has included the song in a mash-up designed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.[9][10] The New Orleans Saints play the chorus throughout all home games.
At the 2013 White House Correspondents' Dinner, President Barack Obama was introduced to "Hail to the Chief," which quickly cut to a snippet of "All I Do is Win."[11][12]

Tim appears in flashback sequences as a random child who has gone to see the Flying Graysons the day Dick's parents die. He sees Dick Grayson performing a quadruple somersault, and the ringmaster says that only three people in the world are capable of that particular move. When the Drakes are leaving the tent with the other audience members, Tim looks back to see Batman in the shadows. This is the start of his interest in Batman - he says that he has clipped every news article on the Dynamic Duo and followed their exploits enthusiastically. After Jason Todd's death, Tim notices that Batman is becoming more brutal and careless. He thus takes it upon himself to intervene, and contacts Dick Grayson. He lays out how he managed to deduce their identities - I will look at the "detective" side in the next post - and explains to Dick that Batman needs a Robin. Unfortunately, Dick flatly refuses to take up the Robin identity again. Tim is devastated, as you can see in the last panel. From the reader's perspective, this is really unsubtle: Tim sees Batman and Robin as larger than life, as heroes, as inspirations to people like him. He dreams about being Robin sometimes - to the point where he has worked extremely hard to increase his physical fitness and gets straight As. Even at this early stage, he is prepared a contingency for no Robin - to take the role himself. Not out of true desire to be a superhero, but because he is convinced it is necessary for someone to do it. The idea of there not being a Robin is inconceivable.
The iteration "Batman needs a Robin" runs throughout these two stories. Exactly why Tim (or by extension, the narrative itself) thinks that "Batman is becoming darker because he doesn't have a Robin instead of insert other Bat ally here", rather than "Batman is devastated by the loss of a partner and doesn't want to endanger another young life" is never really made clear.

Samsung Galaxy Note II US pricing unveiled
Announced for the US market last month, the Samsung Galaxy Note II is available there as of today, although only one carrier (T-Mobile) is selling it for now.

AT&T is currently selling the Sony Xperia Ion for $99.99 on contract — a decent price for such a handset.

Still, some just don't want to pay $100 for a Gingerbread smartphone. And probably that's why… Read more

Sara Bareilles continued to promote "Brave" (AKA the song that refuses to die) with a typically impressive performance on The View earlier this week. The Grammy-nominated single is still a radio staple (and steady iTunes seller) despite being released way back in April 2013.
There's a simple explanation for the song's enduring popularity. Its uplifting message combined with Sara's perky piano literally makes you feel good. As her appearance on The View proves. The 34-year-old was in fine voice (as usual) and ably supported by a full band, who helped flesh out the sound. Watch up top for an instant shot of serotonin.
Are you still in love with "Brave"? Let us know in the comments below.

Mellody Hobson:
Color blind or color brave?
The subject of race can be very touchy. As finance executive Mellody Hobson says, it's a "conversational third rail." But, she says, that's exactly why we need to start talking about it. In this engaging, persuasive talk, Hobson makes the case that speaking openly about race — and particularly about diversity in hiring — makes for better businesses and a better society.

The sauce turned out great and turned the skeptics into lovers. I would recommend making the sauce in it's own pan at the same time as the chicken, though, as any recipe that tells you to fully cook chicken and then keep it warm means dry chicken. So, cooking them so they can both be served straight from the pans to the plates is best for moist chicken.
Chicken with Goat Cheese Sauce
To create the smoothest sauce, use soft goat cheese and serve immediately. Pluck the tiny leaves of a thyme sprig to get one teaspoon of leaves for the sauce.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and about 3 tablespoons sauce)

- Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
- Add wine to pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until mixture is reduced to 1 tablespoon (about 1 minute). Add broth and thyme sprigs; cook until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat; discard thyme sprigs.
- Add cheese to pan; stir with a whisk until smooth. Serve sauce over chicken; sprinkle with thyme leaves.
- Wine note: While a wine lover might ask which wine goes best with chicken, in this dish, it's the goat cheese sauce, more than the chicken breasts, that deserves most of your pairing attention. Goat cheese is an ideal partner for sauvignon blanc. Both goat cheese and the sauvignon blanc have clean, fresh, tangy, earthy flavors, so the food and wine mirror each other. A sauvignon blanc I love for the flavor: Tin Roof Sauvignon Blanc from the North Coast of California--about $9. -Karen MacNeil

Lenovo Intros Three New Android-powered Ideatab Tablets
Lenovo is attacking Apple's iPad on three fronts, offering 7, 9 and 10-inch Android 4.0 tablets.
Thursday during the IDA 2012 show in Berlin, Lenovo introduced three new tablets in its Ideatab line: The Ideatab S2110, A2107 and A2109. All three sport smarter, slimmer tablet designs highlighted by Google's Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" OS.
According to Lenovo, the Ideatab S2110 is the company's new premium entertainment 10-inch tablet with an optional detachable keyboard dock. The two other additions, the A2107 and A2109, are 7 and 9-inch affordable solutions respectively.
Lenovo describes the new Ideatab S2110 as one of the thinnest 10-inch tablets today, measuring 8.69-mm and weighing 580g. The tablet's IPS (In-Plane Switching) screen features a 178-degree viewing angle and unique 10-point multi-touch capabilities, ideal for two-player gaming. Other features include a microHDMI port for viewing 1080p media on an HDTV, a 5MP Autofocus camera on the back, a 1.3MP camera on the front, 1 GB of RAM, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a textured back cover for a more comfortable grip.
"When attached the to the keyboard dock, the S2110 delivers double battery life for up to 20 hours of activity, as well as an SD card reader and USB ports to connect a thumb drive, external hard drive or mouse," Lenovo said on Thursday.
As for the smaller tablets, the A2107 features a 7-inch screen, two speakers, a microSD card, Bluetooth 4.0, a built-in FM radio, 720p HD resolution, and up to ten hours of active use. This version will be offered in a Wi-Fi only model, and a Wi-Fi + 3G version with A-GPS capabilities.
The 9-inch cousin, Lenovo's Ideatab A2109, sports Nvidia's Tegra 3 SoC, and a four-point capacitive display with a 1280 x 800 resolution. Other features include 1080p output via a microHDMI port, two speakers with SRS TruMedia audio enhancement, a 3MP camera on the back, a 1.3MP camera on the front, and dual microphones.
Also included in the 9-inch tablet is a microUSB port, a microSD card slot for up to 32 GB of storage, and up to 16 GB of internal storage. The gadget weighs just 570g and is protected with a sleek metal shell backing.
So far Lenovo hasn't updated its website to reflect the three new tablets, so the actual specs are unknown as of this writing. However the Lenovo Ideatab A2109 and S2110 are available now with prices starting at $299 and $399 respectively. The A2107 will be available later in 2012. All products will be available through Lenovo sales representatives and business partners in the U.S.

Sneak Peek: The Perfectly Imperfect Home
Domino Magazine's Deborah Needleman has a new book hitting shelves on November 1st, and we were lucky enough to get a sneak peek. Check out a sampling from its gorgeous pages after the jump.
In her second book, titled The Perfectly Imperfect Home: How to Decorate and Live Well, Deborah Needleman explores the 80 essentials everyone needs to create a stylish home without having to sacrifice character. With 13 chapters that touch on everything from lighting and bed-making to cleverly titled, broader concepts like "Jollifiers" and "Glamifications," Needleman guides you through ways to embrace imperfection and offers tips on how to endow your home with a sense of personality.
Featuring beautiful watercolor images by famed illustrator Virginia Johnson, the pages depict and pull inspiration from interiors by influential taste-makers like Yves Saint Laurent, Kate Spade & Miles Redd (just to name a few).
Thanks to the timeless advice and artful production, we are betting The Perfectly Imperfect Home will easily become an instant classic upon its release on November 1st.
Pre-order your copy at Amazon.com.

I get the idea behind using the watercolors to seem timeless, but in practice I'm getting a J.Peterman vibe. I guess it's hard to tell without the excerpts.
let me say first that deborah needleman is the only reason i buy the wall street journal on saturdays, love that off duty section and the magazine, the watercolors are charming, but a little copy might tempt me more.
Well, sure, everything looks good in cute little watercolors.
watercolor is a very noble rendering medium

Doctor Who Tops iTunes in the USA!
Well, well, well, looks like Doctor Who is not just a rating winner on the television sets of viewers but also in the download market as well.
We're not talking about BBC iPlayer downloads here either, we're talking about Doctor Who being the most downloaded television show on iTunes in the USA for 2011. Of course, we all know that the show is the best thing that's ever been created but it's wonderful to see the States acknowledge this fact as well.
Doctor Who beat a lot of other prime time American shows to this rather brilliant top spot by being simply…the best. It beat Entourage, True Blood, The Walking Dead, Top Gear, Dexter and even Glee to name a few.
Steven Moffat commented, rather tongue-in-cheekily about what this means for his future plans for Doctor Who:
"Next, the universe!"
This will also surely put a few uneasy minds at rest that have been worried about the ratings for the show over the last few years. These results prove that not only is Doctor Who as popular and as enjoyable as ever but that the show is still going from strength to strength and bringing in new viewers!
We officially watch the most downloaded show in the USA via iTunes; maybe we should add that to our business cards…
2 Responses to Doctor Who Tops iTunes in the USA!
Hurrah! Go Who!
I must say that is quite an achievement. This must have brought Doctor Who to the attention of TV execs in the states and other influential media figures.
A new cross Atlantic funding arrangement from one of the big guns in the states and a new slot for Who on a major channel in the USA ?
Now , that would be interesting…..

Photo is by the wonderful Michelle.

Zeri is a little known mountain-biking destination. The hills are full of ancient mule tracks, with more being opened up each year. There is biking to match all abilities, but the emphasis here is on steady climbs on tarmac and some blistering descents on natural single-track and mule-track. Martin knows the area well and is available as a guide, or you can download tracks onto your gps, via garmin.
This is quality all-mountain style mtb. Trips can be arranged with a drop off at a high point, with a well gravity-assisted descent to various places, including Pontremoli. Other excursions have included a ride along the alta via to La Spezia, followed by ½ a day sailing on Molly Mack. There is also a small downhill track near Albaretto, with an up-lift service at weekends.

Woah, absolutely cannot wait for book five! (Even though I'm only on book 2) As an author myself, you are so inspiring to me! This still bothers me a ton, though- why did Harald have to die!? I know, it ties to the storyline, but seriously… he was so awesome! What caused you to create his character personality?
The Long Hunt was indeed a page turner, I literally couldn't stop reading, 2 years waiting for the 5th book T.T, is the 5th book the last book in the Strongbow Saga?
Hail Strongbow!
When will Book 5 be out………….??????
Dear Mr. Roberts, I have read the first two books years ago, impatiently waiting between the 1st and the 2nd. Then after waiting and waiting I finally gave up and eventually moved overseas for work. I left my paper books collection in my mother-in-law care :). Now, after watching all in one gulp Vikings series on History channel I though I'd check on my "past love" . And, horay!!! Two books are out since then?! Running to buy them in e-form. I though, we "lost each other forever".
Question for the author: have your books been translated into other languages, if You know that? I would love to translate them into Russian. I would put all my heart into it
I have read the Harper Collins published versions of the first three books and I was wondering if the versions your publishing company rebublished were different to the first versions, and if so in what way?
great books.just as good as Robert low and giles kristian please don't keep us waiting for your next adventure.
Do you know when the 5th book to the stongbow saga will be released?
When will the book 4 published internationally on paper back? Book 1-3 i bought it to National bookstore here in the Philippines but i couldn't find the book 4 of Viking saga… i love reading your works….
I just finished Book 4 and I love it! Will the "beast of dublin" be like it? cant wait (:
Also, at the end of book 4 it has about the sagas- are they in english and can i read them somehow?
Hi, I'm looking to audition the audiobook of "Viking Warrior," Book 1 of the Strongbow Saga through ACX, but I don't know how Hrorik is pronounced. Can you help me? Thanks!
