The number of newborn boys undergo genital mutilation has dropped a lot over the last 10 years. Largely because today's parents have found out what the foreskin is and what circumcision entails. A big reason for physicians in the U.S. to proceed with genital mutilation is that they get paid extra. Genital mutilation in the U.S. sales of almost one billion U.S. dollars. Are religious circumcision free? Female and male foreskin are identical and one purpose of removing it is to reduce sexual desire. In the 1150's. Rabbi Maimonides already wrote about that. Female genital mutilation occured in the U.S. until the late 1950s. In order to reduce sexual desire. And it's probably even today a reason to genital mutilation of boys. A Rabbi in a radio program said circumcision prevent boys from becoming misfits in society.

Drawing on the gifts of artists like Dave Matthews and Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik, and enlisting talents as disparate as Herbie Hancock and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Josh Groban reaches new heights with his third album, Awake. Groban's large cadre of fans have eagerly anticipated this follow-up to 2003's Closer, and Awake doesn't meddle with its predecessor's formula. Once again Groban is paired with hitmaking producer David Foster, and he assays a varied set of soaring, lyrical songs in number of languages, some written by Groban himself. The guest stars, while never overshadowing the young crooner, add both variety and the deft touch of experience -- on the pair of South Africa-inspired songs with Ladysmith Black Mambazo (one co-written by Matthews) and on the rhythmically incisive "Machine," with jazz great Hancock on keyboard. Groban tries his own hand at the piano on the expressive "February Song" (co-written by Ondrasik), while other instrumental flourishes, like the evocative Spanish guitar that opens "Un Día Llegará" and the cello solo on "Un Giorno Per Noi" (Nino Rota's Romeo and Juliet theme), provide colorful support for the singer's rich vocals. Groban is at his most inspirational in the single "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)," offering comforting words for troubled souls, while the pair of extra tracks -- as well as a "making-of" DVD -- ought to supply Grobanites with enough bonus material to tide them over until the singer's next star turn.

Newton County officials, do you remember the citizens' outrage at a raise in taxes due to an increase in the county's budget?
Page 1 of 1
The Newton County BOC held their first meeting of 2015 last week and among its agenda items was its annual appointments. One of those appointments was that of county attorney, and the reappointment was Tommy Craig.
Last week we were shocked by the violent attack on the office of a French satirical newspaper called Charlie Hebdo.
As we start the New Year we have a major dilemma facing us in in Newton County and that is the future of the Newton Medical Center.
We think it's safe to say that for most people, 2014 was not the best of years. For those of you that it has been good for, we are pleased for you and hope 2015 is even better.
It's hard to believe that we have less than two weeks left until Christmas day … after all we been reminded that it was coming since August at many places.
Last week the Newton County Water and Sewerage Authority stepped up to the plate and hit a home run.
The way we see it there is plenty of blame to go around in regards to the Ferguson issue.
We are taking the advice of Newton football announcer Bill Dolan when he says "Ram fans get on your feet," and we urge the rest of Newton County to do the same.
Some good decisions by Newton County in the past have led to a current situation where we have a reliable water supply. The supply is such that if the theoretical doors of the county were to be shut right now, we probably would have plenty of water for the use of our children and grandchildren.
"Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys. Look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death!"
"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual - or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country."
Throughout the generations, whenever there has been an election, there has been some form of dirty politics used to sway the voters mind.
Congratulations Kenneth Hanson. It's a great honor and great testament to your hard work that you were named Newton County School System's 2015 Teacher of the Year.
At Tuesday's Board of Commissioners public meeting, Commissioner John Douglas made a motion to defund The Center for Community Preservation and Planning. Thank goodness there was no second, and this ill-conceived motion died.
It seems that over the last six years, we as a country have had to endure one scandal after another; distrust in any government entity is at the highest it has been in most of our lifetimes.

Drug benefit-risk (BR) analysis is based on firm clinical evidence regarding various safety and efficacy outcomes. In this paper, we propose a new and more formal approach for constructing a supporting multi-criteria model that fully takes into account the evidence on efficacy and adverse drug reactions. Our approach is based on the stochastic multi-criteria acceptability analysis methodology, which allows us to compute the typical value judgments that support a decision, to quantify decision uncertainty, and to compute a comprehensive BR profile. We construct a multi-criteria model for the therapeutic group of second-generation antidepressants. We assess fluoxetine and venlafaxine together with placebo according to incidence of treatment response and three common adverse drug reactions by using data from a published study. Our model shows that there are clear trade-offs among the treatment alternatives. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

After more than a decade of absence from Utah, Shakey's Pizza is making its return to the market. A new unit will open at the Meadows Shopping Center in American Fork, Utah, on April 27.
The new restaurant marks the first of two set to open in the Salt Lake region this year.
Shakey's, which has been around for 55 years, is trademarked as the "World's Greatest Pizza." The new location will feature the chain's all-day buffet with a variety of pizzas, pastas, salads, Shakey's Mojo Potatoes and signature root beer floats. It also includes a game room, pop culture memorabilia, classic American music and big screen TVs.
"Everyone has a story or a fond memory about Shakey's. In bringing the restaurant back to Utah, we hope to preserve the heritage and inspire that same special feeling to a new generation of fans," said Marc Rugg, Shakey's area business partner.
As part of its engagement with the Utah community, Shakey's has partnered with Pony Express Days Community Hero, a program that annually honors children with special needs. On April 28, Shakey's American Fork will host a fundraiser for the Eagle Mountain City's Community Hero Award, donating a percentage of all food and beverage revenue to the 2011 award recipients. The award winners will be announced during Eagle Mountain City's Pony Express Days in May.
"The brand's expansion into the Southwest is a further sign of Shakey's expanding renaissance and successful transformation from a merely nostalgic brand to a relevant restaurant chain experiencing exponential growth," said Joe Remsa, Shakey's Pizza president and CEO.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins have asked slugger Justin Morneau to skip the team's annual fan festival this weekend so he can keep concentrating on his recovery from a concussion.
General manager Bill Smith says he told Morneau it would be better for him to continue working out in Phoenix and preparing for spring training.
Smith says Morneau has been working out hard, but is still a week to 10 days away from starting any baseball activities such as swinging a bat. Smith wants ...

Before purchasing A7, I read about loud shutter complaint for both, and especially a7r. Hence, i was pleasantly surprised when I started using A7. I previously owned most Pentax DSLRs, last was k5 and I find A7 shutter sound similar to k5, and quieter than other like kx, k01 etc. I also compared it to D700 and 7d and A7 seems quieter.
Just wondering, do you really think your A7 shutter is louder than your other DSLR? If so, which are those DSLR that are quieter than A7?-- hide signature --
No, neither the A7r is louder than DSLR.

Article: Subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the popliteal fossa at the site of a previous wasp sting
Page 1
© Turkish Society of Radiology 2010Cmost commonly affected areas in adults, hydatid cysts may develop in almost any part of body (1). Cystic hydatid disease can occur in all viscera and soft tissues and has a high level of recurrence accounting for about 10% (2). Soft tissue hydatid cysts occur in 2.3% of cases reported from endemic areas; they are usually associated with involvement of other structures (3). Isolated involvement of soft tissues is relatively rare. The development of primary Echinococcus cysts in humans is known to result from oral ingestion of E. granulosus eggs, released from the in-testinal tract of carnivores. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts of this organism (3). Transmission by insects has not yet been published. We report an unusual case of a primary hydatid cyst in the subcutaneous tissue of the popliteal region which developed after a wasp sting.ystic hydatid disease is commonly caused by the larval stage of a parasite, Echinococcus granulosus. It still constitutes a serious public health problem in endemic regions. While liver and lung are the Case reportA 63-year-old agriculture worker presented to our hospital with a mass located in the lower part of the popliteal region of the right lower limb. The patient reported that the swelling developed instantly at the spot where he was stung by a bee or wasp. At first it appeared as a small cof-fee bean shaped mass of 1–1.5 cm diameter and subsequently started to grow slowly, reaching 3–4 cm of size in a couple of days. He had no history of fever, weight loss, complaints of pain or claudication. On physical examination the non-tender, slightly mobile mass with a sharp contour was located in the lower and lateral aspect of the popliteal fossa. The skin above the swelling was somewhat hyperemic but not warm (Fig. 1). Posteroanterior chest radiograph and abdominal ultrasound re-vealed no abnormalities except for multiple small anechoic well-defined cysts in the bilateral renal sinuses. Laboratory investigation including liver function tests were unremarkable.On ultrasonography of the mass located at the right popliteal region, a well-defined oval cystic lesion (40×17×18 mm) was visible in the subcu-taneous tissue, with a double wall and multiple sized adjacent cyst-com-partments with internal echoes of viscous content and solid particles (Fig. 2). Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the cysts was per-formed without complications, and 7 mL of fluid was aspirated and sent for cytological and parasitological examination. Cytological findings of the sample only revealed leukocytes among fragmented red blood cells, with activated and occasionally multinucleated macrophages and mast cells. The sonographic pattern of the cyst suggested the diagnosis of hy-datid disease; according to the classification by Lewall and McCorkell, the cystic lesion represented Echinococcus cyst Type II (1). Since the cysts filled back up, surgical excision of the lesion was indicated, with MUSCULOSKELETAL IMAGINGCASE REPORTDiagn Interv Radiol DOI 10.4261/1305-3825.DIR.2933-09.1Subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the popliteal fossa at the site of a previous wasp stingIstvan Battyany, Levai Andrea, Karoly Kalmar NagyFrom the Departments of Radiology (I.B. firstname.lastname@example.com, L.A.), and Surgery (K.K.N.), Medical University of Pécs, Pecs, Hungary.

This unusual presentation was initially considered as a Baker cyst until parasytological results verified Echinococcus hydatidosus, the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus, as diagnosis. How-ever, the most common path of Echinococcus granulosus infec-tion is through contact with a definitive host or by ingestion of ova through contaminated water or food. Transmission by insects should also be reconsidered in endemic areas.Key words: • hydatid cyst • insect sting • ultrasonography

Parasitostatic medica-tion was administered; a three-month course of mebendazole therapy was completed.preoperative and postoperative admin-istration of mebendazol.On control examination ten months after the excision, ultrasonography re-vealed two novel serous cysts (15 mm and 7 mm in diameter) in the subcu-taneous tissue at the scar of previous surgery. Another FNAC was carried out followed by application of compression bandage. Despite multiple aspirations the cystic lesions gradually grew into the subcutaneous tissues and reached the original size in almost two years following the first excision. On ultra-sonography the penetration into deep soft tissues of the hydatid cyst meas-uring 42×17×67 mm was observed. Definition of the exact extent of the cystic mass was made possible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Curative cystectomy was subsequently indicated and performed for the sec-ond time (Fig. 3). Histological and im-munohistochemical results showed cy-tokeratine positive and CEA negative polygonal epithelial cell proliferation with cystic compartments in the der-mis.

Subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the popliteal fossa • iiiNevertheless, after the second surgery further two consecutive cystectomies were needed within a three-year period due to recurring cysts. On the last oper-ation the excision of an approximately 1-cm firm cyst was performed. By gross pathological examination the wall of the cyst was focally thickened, white and capsular, having inner trabeculae with fluid content. The macroscopic pattern of the excised mass suggested hydatid cyst as a diagnosis, the parasi-tological examination verified Echinoc-occus hydatidosus as well.DiscussionHydatid disease, caused by the lar-val form of Echinococcus granulosus, is endemic in cattle- and sheep-raising regions, such as Central Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa (2). The adult worms live in the proximal small bowel of carni-vores as the definitive host, attached by hooklets to the mucosa, and their eggs are excreted in the feces. Hu-mans may become intermediate hosts through contact with a definitive host or by ingestion of ova through con-taminated water or food. In our case, primary Echinococcus cyst developed in the soft tissue in the lower part of the popliteal region of the right lower limb, at the spot of a previous wasp sting, suggesting the possibility of an unusual transmission of the eggs by in-sects. Theoretically, wasps or other in-sects may inoculate Echinococcus eggs by getting in contact with contaminat-ed feces, and spread them by stinging or biting the intermediate host. Lactic acid produced by the underlying mus-cles may assist in hatching of the ova, allowing the parasite embryos to form hydatid cysts.Hydatid cystic disease of the soft tis-sues is uncommon, accounting for only 2.3%, according to the largest published series that consists of 24 cases in 1056 patients (4). Despite its rarity, soft tissue Echinococcus cyst might constitute an important differential diagnosis of any cystic mass in any anatomical location in endemic areas. Clinically, a hydatid cyst in the soft tissues might mimic ter-atomas, abscesses, or fibromatosis. Sub-cutaneous Echinococcus cysts are usu-ally less than 5 cm (5); in the presented case, due to its penetration to deeper layers, the hydatid cyst reached 6.7 cm axial diameter.As in the case reported here, imaging modalities and serologic investigations can reveal the correct diagnosis, espe-cially in the presence of a competent pathologic examination. Ultrasound is an important imaging modality for hydatid disease and may clearly dem-onstrate the floating membranes and daughter cysts characteristically seen in purely cystic lesions (1). Preoperative di-agnosis of subcutaneous hydatid disease is also possible by FNAC; the presence of diagnostic hooklets or laminated mem-brane ensures correct identification. No urticaria or anaphylactic reactions have been reported as a complication of this procedure (6), which encourages broader adoption of this method. In uncertain cases, MRI may be performed to confirm the hypothesis and visual-ize the lesion in various planes. The diagnosis is frequently delayed until the time of surgery, where observation of the laminated membrane possibly facilitates the identification. Postopera-tive positive indirect hemagglutination serology for Echinococcus granulosus can also confirm the missing diagnosis; however, sensitivity and specificity of serologic tests are unknown. In a recent study by Akhan et al. per-cutaneous treatment was carried out by either a ''catheterization technique with hypertonic saline and alcohol'' or a''modified catheterization tech-nique'', according to the type of the cyst, and an average of 96.1% volume reduction was obtained in six cysts of four patients (7). Cavity infection and cellulitis were observed as complica-tions, which resolved after medical therapy (7). Percutaneous treatment is a safe and effective procedure in pa-tients with soft tissue hydatid cysts and should be considered as a serious alter-native to surgery (7).References 1.

Ten years ago, David Taylor walked into a sparse building on the 1500 block of Church Street. With his business partner, Keith Blaydes, in tow, he strode through the vacant, warehouse-like structure to size up their investment in what Taylor describes as an "empty shell" located on the western cusp of downtown Nashville.
To hear Taylor, 48, reminisce, there wasn't much within the building or without that would hint at how this former Rent-A-Center would one day transform into Tribe, Nashville's premiere gay bar. Indeed, despite its initially humble environs, Tribe has become a veritable anchor for the emergent LGBT-friendly businesses now populating the city's de facto gay district a mere decade later.
But way back in 2002, the space — now the home of Tribe as well as successful spin-offs like the dance-centric Play and chef Arnold Myint's Asian-fusion restaurant Suzy Wong's House of Yum — bore more similarities to neighboring parcels of aging light industry than the nexus for Music City's alternative nightlife scene it would ultimately become. Taylor, a former managerial consultant for colleges and universities, and Blaydes, a textile purchaser for clothier Vanity Fair Brands, had virtually no experience running the kind of business they intended to open.
"We really didn't have the hospitality experience, and that really is only important in the [construction] build-out because I think we built out the place at a higher level than we probably would have," says Taylor, whose partner, Michael Ward of Allard Ward Architects LLC, helmed the Rent-A-Center's conversion. "It worked with our numbers, and the result is that, 10 years later, the bones of the place are still in pretty good shape."
With the ink still drying on its first liquor license, Tribe opened amid what co-founder Taylor calls "healthy chaos."
"The back bar hadn't been built, that was a week late, and so we had all of our liquor on a card table," Taylor says, laughing. "It was almost ready, but not quite."
Taylor recalls that shortly after their not-so-soft opening, Out & About newspaper dubbed Tribe's 'hood as "Nashville's Gay District" — a designation that both surprised and pleased them.
"There was a gay bar, and a bookstore, and then when we came along as the second [gay bar], then they said three make a district," Taylor says.
A couple years into operation, Tribe hired Todd Roman and Joe Brown, both of pioneering Music City dance bar The Connection Nashville, to augment the hospitality angle, thus rounding out Tribe's core brain trust.
In time, the culture of Nashville's gay district — and the city's attitude toward such a district — began to change. Prior to Tribe, gay bars on Church Street and beyond were little-advertised watering holes known only by their numbered address or a nickname rarely found in the local Yellow Pages. Even The World's End — a now-defunct Church Street gay bar that Taylor and company credit as an inspiration — suffered from a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of its own.
"We have 75 feet of glass storefront. The World's End up the street had 25 feet of glass storefront, but it was all painted black. You couldn't see in," Taylor says. "Every other gay bar in town was identified by a number, a street number, or it was just so far off the beaten track you just wouldn't know what it was. It was just kind of old-school. And not to disparage that; it's just what you had to do. I've said before that if it wasn't for those places, we would have never, ever, ever had the opportunity. So I'm very grateful for them.
"But it was time to take it to another level, and we did."
Even Tribe offers a back-door entrance next to its parking lot for patrons who don't wish to be seen frequenting an openly gay establishment. But as the years pass, Roman and Taylor say, it gets used less and less for that purpose.
"That's evolved with, I think, kind of the climate of the culture, of society now," Roman says, "as being gay is more accepted and kind of morphed into something much different than it was years ago, where [gay] bars were kind off the beaten path, you know, dark and kind of in the shadows. It was kind of a closed, you-didn't-talk-about-it kind of thing. That's not the case now. Play has been voted No. 1 dance bar for years.
"Not gay bar," he emphasizes, "but dance bar."
As the city has grown more accepting, so the clientele of Tribe, Play and Suzy Wong's has diversified. And as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients have come to shake their collective moneymakers, the anchor of Nashville's gay district has made Church Street a beacon for partiers of every persuasion — an attraction whose popularity is its biggest safeguard against segregation, ghettoization or pigeonholing by sexual orientation.
"We had a tagline for when we first opened — not formally in our advertising, but we said it in our conversations — that '[Tribe is] a place you'd be proud enough to take your mom but probably never would,' " Taylor says. "And after two weeks of being open, people brought their parents, because they were so hungry for a place to show off and be proud. And that was 10 years ago.
"What we've learned is that we compete with all the clubs now. We used to be the only game in town for our customers, but now we're not. People are much more accepting across the board, so we know we have to be well-invested and offer fun. ... We don't take anything for granted, and we certainly know we owe our business to our customers, and that is what we try to focus on."

I want to
limit_choices_to a
ForeignKey(User) in a model called
Order, where the
User is limited by
User who must be part of
Place.owner (M2M), where that
Place is from
Sorry that was probably really confusing so I'll show you some models.
class Order(models.Model):
creator = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='order_creator')
place = models.ForeignKey(Place, related_name='order_place')
quote = models.DecimalField(max_digits=8, decimal_places=2, null=True, blank=True)
quote_owner = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='order_quote_owner', limit_choices_to=Q(userprofile__user_types__name='po'), null=True, blank=True)
Currently as you can see I have
limit_choices_to to simply a
po in
UserProfile.user_types.name (that user is a property owner). But that's just a temporary solution. The
quote_owner is a field that specify which
User can approve the quote.
In other words, the property owner must be able to approve quotes for orders whose place the property owner owns.
Here is my wild (incorrect) guess:
quote_owner = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='order_quote_owner', limit_choices_to=Q(place_set=self.place), null=True, blank=True)
What makes it a little complicated is that
Order.quote_owner is optional and so is
Place.owners. Can
limit_choices_to be smart enough to fail silently (and not give any choices) if there are no owners specified for a place?
Anyway, here is
class Place(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=135)
owners = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='place_owners' , limit_choices_to={'userprofile__user_types': 'po'}, null=True, blank=True)
Here is
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
user_types = models.ManyToManyField(UserType, related_name='userprofile_user_types', null=True, blank=True)
place = models.ForeignKey(Place, related_name='userprofile_place', null=True, blank=True)
And finally here is
class UserType(models.Model):
('ad', 'administrator' ), # 1
('mo', 'moderator' ), # 2
('vi', 'viewer' ), # 3
('pm', 'property manager'), # 4
('po', 'property owner' ), # 5
('vm', 'vendor manager' ), # 6
('ve', 'vendor' ), # 7
('te', 'tenant' ), # 8
name = models.CharField(max_length=2, choices=TYPE_CHOICES)
I kept
UserType as an individual table because I wanted a M2M relationship between
User and
UserType that is still bounded by
I welcome and appreciate any suggestions or tips. Thanks in advance!

Gigabit on Every Port
The 16/24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop/Rackmount Switch series brings the speed of Gigabit Ethernet to each and every port for a truly high-speed network. If your network has a mix of legacy and modern computing capabilities, each port allows for standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet connections. You have the latest technology available to every computer and device connected to your network.
Easy to Install and Maintain
These switches were designed for Plug-and-Play and hassle-free installation. Auto-MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables when connecting to another switch or hub. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (either 10, 100, or 1000Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance. Diagnostic LEDs and cable diagnostics allow for quick detection and correction of network problems.
Conserves Energy
The 16/24-Port Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop/Rackmount Switch series helps you conserve energy automatically through several methods. It automatically powers down ports that have no link, allowing the switch to save substantial amounts of power by cutting power usage for unused ports or any ports connected to computers that have been shut down. It can also detect connected cable lengths, and adjusts power usage accordingly, helping you save energy without affecting networking performance.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
D-Link offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the DGS-1016D/1024D unmanaged switches to further its commitment to product quality and long-term customer confidence.

2005 GMC Envoy Denali 4WD 4dr SUV (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
Coming from a Honda fan, I couldn't have been more surprised to how much I have grown to love this vehicle. I purchased it when you couldn't pass up the deals and I have been glad ever since. Only back to the dealer once for a very small squeak that was taken care of. Tows our travel trailer as if it wasn't there. Quiet, smooth, powerful, very comfortable, good looking. I believe GM has won me back for future consideration of cars.
Too many to mention
Fuel economy could be better. The nav system needs to be improved to get away from the DVD.
This is a solid truck. The power is awesome. It is comfortable on long trips and has a good amount of room. It is fun to drive and handles well and has excellent brakes.
Acceleration is great. Four settings for drive configurations, 2 wheel, all wheel, 4 wheel high, and 4 wheel low.
Could use a little more leg room in back seat. Gas mileage has averaged barely 15MPG.
2005 GMC Envoy SLE Rwd 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Very bad gas mileage but rides better than a car. Minor mechanical problems that can never be duplicated when taken to the dealership. Great for driving in rain. Handles well.
I love the looks of this vehicle and the smooth ride.
Better fuel economy.
2005 GMC Envoy SLT Rwd 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Bought our Envoy in September and have loved it ever since. It has lots of power and great acceleration, and has no problem towing our boat and snowmobiles. Very comfortable interior with more space than our old Venture in the rear seat. The Envoy seems to be very quiet driving, all though it has a beautifull growl when you really floor it. Auto 4wd is great in the snow. The only problem is that the Envoy is a pig on gas, were only getting approx 14mpg and that's stretching it. Overall we are very happy with our Envoy.
4wd, OnStar, great looks, lots of power.
Less nose dive when braking. Bit firmer suspension, Better gas mileage!
2005 GMC Envoy SLT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
Good Looking SUV. Poor mileage, poor fit and finish. Seat belt not adjustable, high tension. Noisy ride due to air leaks. Transmission shifts from 2WD or AWD into 4WD on its own. Seats are not as comfortable as in my 2003 Envoy.
No longer a favorite.
Build as advertised. Professional quality.
