CXL Special Edition 4dr Sedan
2009 Buick Lucerne Reviews
2009 Lucerne Owner Reviews (3)
Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
wandmminton Dec 04, 2010
A clunker if I ever owned one. First the dealer pulled a switch on a buy forwarded from New Jersey where we summer. First asked $800 additional for "extras", then after reluctantly agreeing to skip the alleged "upgrades" delivered a vehicle with cloth seats instead of synthetic (I have an allergy problem), and a different motor (discovered seven months later by a non affiliated service shop.) Despite mileage ratings it averaged 23 miles per gallon on a recent 1,000 mile trip and about 10 mph locally. Further the vehicle rides and handles like a midsized truck in my opinion Why not complain? Dealer has a deaf ear to complaints - and try even contacting Buick management - they never heard of anything before the resurrection. I bought my first Buick second hand in the mid sixties. This is the last one for me or any of my children or grandchildren.
Just Bought a Buick
AOL user May 01, 2009
We had a 2002 Buick -- so we traded it in. Got $4000 on trade-in and $4000 rebate -- so basically paying about $20,000 for the car -- great deal where we pay about $400 a month for 5 years, including interest of 4.9. So I'm signing all the papers -- and the finance guy wants me to sign up for a warranty for $70 a month. He was so insistant that I began to feel like that couple in Fargo. I said, "No thanks" -- and things got cool in the room. Anyway, after the deal was done -- and final, the car company called me a few days later to tell me that they need to change the interest from 4.1 to 6.2. I say a deal is a deal -- kind of put a bad taste in my mouth about the whole affair. What's worse than dealing with a car salesman? Do I like the car? It's fine I guess.
Traded for 2009 Lucerne in early March
AOL user Mar 19, 2009
Traded to provide a car which my wife could easily ge in and out of rather than an SUV. We bought the Lucerne CXL special edition. It meets all expectations so for. Ride is smooth and is quite on the road. Gas mileage is as good as promised or better. Blue tooth is a nice feature. We will enjoy the Lucerne on long trips. No problems to fix at this point.

Maybe The Cast Of 'Firefly' Should Have Gone Shirtless Too. Fox Renews 'Sleepy Hollow' Crazy Early.
By Joanna Robinson | Trade News | October 4, 2013 | Comments ()
You're right, they DID go shirtless. Oh, Firefly, you tried.
Anyway, Fox, notorious canceler of good shows, has already renewed the surprise hit Sleepy Hollow for a second season. The even better news? Both seasons will only be 13 episodes long. THANK YOU. Any acolyte of British TV will tell you that a shortened season is invariably stronger. Deadline reports:
Sleepy Hollow is part of Fox's strategy for shorter, largely uninterrupted, cable-style runs. It was designed to air its 13-episode first season in the fall before another drama series ordered under the same template, The Following, returns in the Monday 9 PM hour — likely in January. Given the success of Sleepy Hollow, it probably was tempting to try and extend its freshman season to the standard 22 episodes, but Fox brass stuck with their original plan.
So what about you? Are you watching Sleepy Hollow? I admit to being sort of charmed by the pilot and if I'm going to give Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. room to be inoffensively fun, I think I have to give Ichabod and Abby the same opportunity. Speaking of which, it's those two, Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie, who deserve loads of credit. They're fantastic together and not just a pair of pretty faces. Though the pretty faces don't hurt.

Peer Tutoring Program
The mission of the peer tutoring program is to provide course and academic skills support to all undergraduates at Salem State University in a positive, encouraging and collaborative environment. Qualified peer tutors will help students become more independent and self-confident learners by guiding students to assimilate course material more efficiently and by providing strategies for continued success.
Need some help in a course? Learn more about CAE's peer tutoring program.
Studies show that one of the most effective ways that students learn is from their peers. To that end, the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) offers a free peer tutoring program for all enrolled undergraduate students. CAE offers tutoring in many courses offered at Salem State University.
Accessing a peer tutor
Tutoring begins each semester after the add/drop period.
Tutors are available by appointment during the fall and spring semester (limited tutoring is available in the summer). In addition to appointments, our Science Tutoring Center (located in the Berry Library and Learning Commons, Level 0) also has walk-in hours available in biology, chemistry and physics courses.
We make every effort to hire peer tutors for courses that students traditionally request tutoring in, including many 100-and 200-level courses. We may also have tutors for select 300- or 400-level courses, depending on the subject. If your search for a tutor in TutorTrac is not successful, please contact the Coordinator of Academic Services. There may be courses where identifying a tutor is not possible. In these instances, we will do our best to try and identify another resource on campus. If you are looking for a tutor in accounting, finance, or operations and decisions sciences (ODS) please visit the accounting lab in CC115.
Please review these student and tutor expectations.
Weekly peer tutoring sessions
We encourage students to meet on a weekly or regular basis with a peer tutor. Tutoring appointments are scheduled in one-hour blocks of time but may last up to two hours if time permits. Peer tutors are asked to keep tutoring sessions to a two hour maximum. Students are allowed up to two hours of tutoring per week for the same subject. If you find that you need additional tutoring in the same subject, please contact the Coordinator Academic Services.
How to request a peer tutor
Registered undergraduate students may visit tutortrac.salemstate.edu to request a tutor. You may also go to the "Quick Links" tab in your Navigator and click on the "Request a peer tutor" link or "Request a foreign language tutor" link.
• Detailed instructions for requesting a peer tutor [Word doc]
How did we do? For students who received tutoring in the current semester, please click here to complete a brief survey.
Interested in Becoming a Peer Tutor?
CAE seeks students who have excelled in a course and would like to assist other students. Please click here for the job description, requirements, and information on how to apply to become a peer tutor.

Haylie Pomroy has helped countless clients lose up to 20 pounds in just 4 weeks –all through the fat-burning power of food. Hailed as "the metabolism whisperer," Haylie reminds us that food is not the enemy, it's the rehab needed to rev-up your sluggish, broken-down metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning furnace.
On this plan you're going to eat a lot. You're going to eat three full meals and at least two snacks a day – and you're still going to lose weight. What you're not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. You're going not to ban entire food groups. You're not going to go carb-free or vegan or go cold turkey on the foods you love. Instead, you're going to rotate what you're eating throughout each week according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that will set your metabolism on fire.
Phase I (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
Phase II (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
Phase III (Friday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils
By keeping your metabolism guessing in this specific and deliberate way, you'll get it working faster. This isn't just a theory, it's the results-based product of Haylie Pomroy's successful programs. It's worked for celebrities, for athletes, and for people with chronic illnesses who need to lose weight, doctor's orders. Now it's going to work for you.
In 4 weeks not only will you see the weight fall off, you'll also see your cholesterol drop, your blood sugar stabilize, your energy increase, your sleep improve, and your stress dramatically reduce. All thanks to the miraculous power of real, delicious, satisfying food!
Plus, by switching up what you're eating every few days, you'll get to enjoy a greater variety of foods, so your palate will never feel bored or deprived. Complete with 4 weeks of meal plans and over 50 recipes – including vegetarian, organic, and gluten-free options – this is the silver bullet for the chronic dieter who has tried every fad diet and failed, the first time dieter attempting to kick her metabolism into gear, and anyone who wants to naturally and safely eat her way to a skinner, healthier self.

the hotel location
yes , we have asked for 3 beds rooms and we did not get it , however they wanted to charge us for this and we refused . they give us smoking rooms with very bad view .
I liked the Hotels physical location and the way the history of the old Monastory has been preserved in the entrance cloisters
The hotel location in relation to Konstanz! Fantastic. Breakfast was awesome too.
They say that they have free Wifi, but this is not true!!!! Beware!!! They offer the service if you pay a third-party provider through a credit card. This is not free and was very misleading. Parking is also not free. There is parking station around the corner that they point you towards. Getting your things out of the car is a little awkward, as you need to park in the bus bay out the front.
Breakfast, Location.
Perfect location, directly on Lake Constance waterfront. Uberlingen is a pleasnat small town with easy access to lots of other interesting places.
The hotel is in a delightful situation overlooking Lake Constance. Good walks along the lake and easy access to Constance.
The hotel is within a 15-minute walk through the country side to the beautiful island of Mainau and has a wonderful view of the lake and mountains. Our nautical-themed room was comfortable and even had a flat-screened TV. The bar and restaurant staffs were very, very friendly.
The wireless internet would not work in rooms in the adjoining building. When we went to the desk for assistance, the gentleman blamed our firewall and threw our receipt (with access code) away. After a few deep breaths, we convinced him to retrieve our receipt from the trash and figured out how to gain access in the lobby.
The location was perfect, only a 15 minute walk down to the lake and the Isle of Mainau. You can sit on the patio in front of the hotel and drink wine and look down over the fields to the lake, the view is beautiful. The staff was very nice to us. The restaurant was good for dinner, and they had a great breakfast too. There is a small playground for the children in the back of the hotel; they had rabbits too, and the kids loved it. For going into Konstanz, you can catch the bus for free and be downtown in 10 minutes. I would like to go back down to Mainau, and Konstanz a few times this summer, and I will definitely stay at this hotel when I go.
excellent location
Very well located, in front of the Konstanz train station and the main touristic points of interest, as well as a good shopping center. Downstairs there is a Mac Donald's, which is useful when traveling with kids. Very complete German breakfast.
The hotel has no parking nor an agreement with the closer parking. Check-in closes very early and there is no staff at night. Expensive hotel for the quality.
Splendid view on the lake. Large rooms, very clean. Great breakfast, again with the view.
The central Location, the view over the Lake and the sound of the lapping Water against the pier.
The Bed !!!! creaking and uncomfortable at every turn of the Body. Definately not a Comfort Room for sleeping.
Very good hotel with parking and internet included in the very reasonable price.
Over priced
the size of the room and the the fantastic bathroom was very comfortable.
breakfast choices were fresh, plenty and truly delicious
the water given was aplenty as well. We drink a lot of water and that is important to us.
the restaurant manager was very unprofessional and acted quite rude
the air conditioning in the room was not quite cool enough and bc of the weather you couldn't open a window either, so it was quite warm in the room
not enough staff in the spa to accommodate for visiting guests - in other words no appts available while we stayed there.
The room is luxury, clean, and well-equipped. A nice view of the Bodensee from the balcon. The design of the entire hotel is very modern and sofisticated. We spent extremely confortable and gorgeous days at this hotel.
We wanted to eat a disch of fish from the Bodensee. The fisch in the menu of this restaurant does not come from this lake.
Cleaniness of room
As the business hotel, the wifi connection is desperately disappointed. During our stay in ibis Konstanz, the wifi was disconnected when we closed the door of the room. When we seeked help from the staff at the reception, the staff's answer was very irresponsible and irritated us. Her answer was like "Because the wifi is free, we are not responsible for the poor internet connection.
The rooms were clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the the hotel was a short walk from the city center and Lake Constance.
das umfassende Frühstücksbuffett (Möglichkeit Saft frisch zu pressen, Eier selbst kochen, Waffeln, Lachs, etc); dass man gefragt wurde ob das Buffett abgeräumt werden darf; stets freundlicher Service; ruhiges Zimmer
Frühstücksraum etwas eng, man stand sich im Weg
Good location, lovely breakfast, hotel has a few bikes for hire at 10 euros a day, very short easy journey into old town, good parking
Aloha :-) Nice & interesting hotel (stayed in the safari room). Hotel staff was very friendly. Close by city Konstanz. We had a dinner in the restaurant and it was delicious. (web:go-viva.eu)
Nice and big room, good breakfast!
The staff was kind, location is greate - it's near the town center, railway station, etc.
Nice and clean room in an excellent location when visiting the sites and attractions of the city of Konstanz and the lake.
The breakfast was excellent. The staff was helpful and professional. Ample parking.
The location was easy to fine and the size of the room was great for 3 adults. Staff were very accomoodating and we wish we could have stayed longer
furniture and style of hotel and room; nice garden views (but no balcony and small window)
mediocre, cold reception; difficult access; bad parking lot; lack of food facilities (no restaurant or room service in the hotel, next door restaurant closed; had to drive 8 km to next crowded town for a simple pizza); no information or tasting/sale of local products although hotel in the middle of a vineyard; internet inordinately expensive...
It had a good and varied breakfast. I found it met my expectations.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Posted on 11/09/2011 6:58:18 AM PST by AT7SalukiEdited on 11/09/2011 7:00:01 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
Ann Curry, NBC News: "He's not stepping down, continuing to suck the air out of the narrative the Republican party really wants to tell. Does the party now wish he would just go away?"
David Gregory, NBC News: "Well there is no, you know, Grand Wizard in the party right now who can really force the issue.
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Ladies and gentlemen, you can file a complaint here:
I for one am extremely outraged!
He told the truth. All the Grand Wizards were in the Democrat party like KKK-Byrd from WV.
ah... the poor babies can't push their liberal Mormon idiot on us....
Go Cain!
Nice choice of words, David. You racist pig.
Someone should put this up on the front page..
Holy s***, that is racism.
David Gretory makes a great spokesman for the Plantation Massah.
He is an idiot, of course.
And what really burns him is that we conservatives like Cain...a lot.
What burns him more is that Cain got where he is without asking the Massah for permission.
—David Gregory, NBC News: "Well there is no, you know, Grand Wizard in the party right now who can really force the issue.—
"Grand Wizard" is a democratic term.
No one in the media has the cajones to dig Zero's dirt? Smells.
Wow. Freudian slip. We now know what Gregory thinks the Republican party is, and how he expects them to treat blacks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can file a complaint here:"
Complain?! The NBC brass is probably chuckling about how clever David Gregory was with that slam.
NBC doesn't care about conservatives, and I suspect they don't like us either.
There's a reason most don't watch your crap, David.
Oh, should we all mention to the Gregory cretin-thing that the last known KKK member was a................DEMOCRAT!
A democrat senator.
A crooked, sleezy, lying slimy, sleezy smelly democrat senator. (Oops, I forgot, just saying Democrat senator was sufficient without the adjectives...which are naturally implied.)
Its a given with their racist attitudes blended with their sense of entitlement.
I see David is channeling his inner Democrat
Thanks for the link, sent them a message.

Project Assignment: "Decision 2012" , "Meet the Press" , "NBC Nightly News, Weekend Edition" , "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams"
Yes David, Senator Byrd is dead.
Just my thoughts too. Perhaps they could dig up democrat WVA Robert Byrd, and say he is a republican, to do the job.
Or maybe his dog Billy will fess up.
Of course, he is right. They only have "Grand Wizards" in the Democrat Party. LOL!
I just read that the woman, the accuser in the Cain case, filed another sexual harassment claim in her next job, as well.
Thank you for that poster I LOVE THAT!
Yeah, that is pretty disgusting language coming from a known left-slanting reporter. Funny he thinks in KKK terms as if Herman Cain is some uppity black man causing trouble in the white community. But then again the media is carting out these mentally unstable blonde women hoping to play on those same racist taboos of a black man who can't control his sexual urges around white women.
I'm willing to bet the RINOs/dems are so out of touch they believe GOP-voting women are a bunch of racists who will turn on Cain because he's a black man and these are all white women. It's really disgusting the imagery being portrayed and not questioned by the media.
You are very welcome.
Fox just had that 2nd accuser's attorney on, that Joel Bennett saying something.
Look out below, ain't done yet.
The Cain campaign or Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity or SOMEONE, needs to press this and make it newsworthy that David Gregory, a major Newscaster, insinuated that the GOP needs a KKK Grand Wizard to force a Black man out of the race. This is despicable.
What can we do to get this "out" into the public arena?
Dem males are generally wimps. Gregory is no exception.
Possibly a new TV show is in the works for DNC Dave...'Meet The Wizard'.
He told the truth. All the Grand Wizards were in the Democrat party like KKK-Byrd from WV.
LOL! Post of the day!
No, but there's still plenty of them in the Democrat Party. Just ask 'House Minority Leader' Jim Clyburn.
Fact is, there is no reason to "force him out." The libs want so much for this smear campaign to be the reason, but he just won't go away...he just won't die. LOL!
He is a principled, conservative, God-fearing Christian man...and he is not a quitter or one to back down from a scrape and as a man of strong moral character and commitment to this nation. That scares the heck out of them, especially because he is all of those htings and he is black and able to articulate why other blacks should get off their plantation.
And all of that is exactly what we need through this campaign, and in the years ahead as he and a majority House and Senate do the work necessary to take our country back.
NBC represents the Lollipop Guild.
The Lollipop Guild.
The Lollipop Guild.
What did the lawyer have to say? What can you say, when your client works for the Obama administration.
I missed it because my phone rang.
Only thing I caught was the woman wanted us all to know the specifics of her allegations.
I missed some of it.
Hmmm...new thought. So the play might be to do all of this and then make it look like the GOP "forced" Cain out and then it quite suddenly reverts to the GOP RACISM meme should Romney rise...ie, Romney was behind it, pushed out Cain because of Mormon racism, etc. etc. (Or they do the same play on Perry). Hadn't thought of this angle before. They basically juggle the racism/sexism smears as they find convenient. Thus Cain needs to stay in and win if this appraoach is to ever be made useless. So long as it works they will keep at it. Some of us are very, very tired of it.
Is this Biaylek or Krashouer (sp) that did that? Its a shame they have been trotted out, unfortunately that will cut into Limbaughs 16th fundamental truth of life (feminism was created to give unattractive women greater access to the mainstream of society) not to mention his opinion audit rating.
I always heard the Klan hierarchy consisted of Kleagles and Grand Dragons, all ruled over by an Imperial Wizard.
David Gregory is an insufferable jerk. When George W. Bush held a WH presser, it was considered polite for reporters to stand when addressing the President. Not Gregory; he would ask his rude accusatory questions while slouched back in his chair with crossed legs while jabbing a pencil at Dubya.
Anyway, we learn once more which ideology and party contains the real racists. The MSM is hunting Herman Cain the same way Simon Legree hunted escaped slaves and for the same reason.
Does anyone need any further proof that Cain is the only man for the job?
I didn't think so.
David Gregory is the most no-talent "moderator" on national TV. He's a joke as Tim Russert's replacement. Last weekend's Meet the Press devoted the entire hour on the allegations against Cain. Gregory asking a bunch of liberals, over and over and over, is Cain finished as serious candidate.
How Gregory landed a job on TV as a journalist should be put in Ripley's Believe It Or Not. He's terrible and this assinine remark about Herman Cain proves the point. Fox is the only network that will mention it. The others will ignore the racist slander that came out of this moron's mouth.
Perhaps it was a mere slip of the tongue.....maybe he meant MR. Wizard.....

I sent the link to this video to the Cain Campaign and to Mike Huckabee's FOX TV Show. This racist comment needs to go public.
Cain needs to adopt some (for Republicans) unorthodox political tactics to make this go away and get this distraction behind him. Say whatever we will on policy and his personal life, but for political strategery, Bill Clinton and his team were freakin' geniuses. Simply bunkering in is not an option if Cain's campaign is to survive past Iowa, neither is denials while these golddigging hussies come out bearing false witness (one of the accusers works for the Obama treasury department—go figure)... First off, Herman, I love ya man and all and I'm ready to follow you to hell and back, but you gotta learn to go for the throat with a smile. And yes you need a War Room team. First off I know Gloria is a private lady and I certainly respect that, but you need a moment like Bill and Hillary had going onto 60 min and her to do like Hillary and publicly stand by ya and your character. Hopefully you're not lyin bout this stuff but if the lights fall on ya like they did on the Clintons that is not a good sign, then you need to have your team come up with any dirt on any of the women (I refuse to call them ladies even in the loosest sense, at least a lady of the night gets what she wants on the front end) and publicly discredit them for what they are, golddigging nuts and sluts. Herman this is a war, and your team needs to learn how to go to the mattresses.

Discovering the Kingdom of God
by Bill Barker
Over time I came to understand that the kingdom of God is the reign and rule of God in this age in the hearts and lives of those who yield themselves to Him. To recognize the kingdom as being present allows Christians to experience the blessings of Christ's reign now as well as anticipate it in the future age. Ignoring the presence of the kingdom in this age robs the Gospels of their emphasis and Jesus of His message (Luke 5:43). (read devotional)

The Fundamental Frequencies (Pitch) of Notes
The number beside each key is the
fundamental frequency in units of cycles per
seconds, or Hertz.
For example, the A4 key has a frequency of
440 Hz.
Note that A5 has a frequency of 880 Hz. The
A5 key is thus one octave higher than A4
since it has twice the frequency.
An overtone is a higher natural frequency for
a given string. The overtones are "harmonic"
if each occurs at an integer multiple of the
fundamental frequency.
A note played on an instrument, such as middle "C" played on a piano, is not made up of just one
frequency, but is complex and made up of many frequencies that combine to give the sound we hear. The
first or predominant frequency we hear is called the fundamental frequency. Additional frequencies that
make up that note are referred to as harmonics. Here is an example of Middle C and it's initial harmonics…
Middle C C4 262 Hz - Fundamental
C5 523 Hz -first harmonic, (octave )
G5 785 Hz -second harmonic, (fifth)
C6 1046 Hz –third harmonic, (octave)
E6 1318 Hz –fourth harmonic, (third)
G6 1568 Hz –fifth harmonic, (fifth)
Bb6 1865 Hz –sixth harmonic, (dominant seventh)
C7 2093 Hz –seventh harmonic, (octave)
• A harmonic is one of a series of sonic components of a sound.
• A sounding pitch comprises a fundamental, and a number of harmonics above that fundamental,
the totality being called a harmonic spectrum or harmonic series.
• The make-up of a spectrum (which harmonics are present, and in what proportion) produces the
timbre, or tone color, of an instrument or voice.
• The relative amplitudes (loudness) of the various harmonics primarily determine the timbre of
different instruments and sounds.
• Some sounds, such as a cymbal or gong, are more complex in it's harmonic makeup and include
overtones which are not harmonics(non-harmonics are frequencies that are not integer multiples of
a fundamental frequency). Because of this, a fundamental frequency is harder to determine; that's
why the gong's sound doesn't seem to have a very definite pitch compared to the same
fundamental note played on a piano.
Ref… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(music)
Are you sure about that? Maybe we're just too harsh or loud in some frequencies!
I've heard bands that were just as loud if not louder than another band, but were more tolerable to listen to
due to their overall sound quality….have you ? Try this, put your ear next to someone playing a bass guitar
at a certain decibel level, and then do the same thing with someone banging a cymbal … you should
perceive the cymbal as being "louder". This is because humans don't hear all frequencies of sound at the
same level. That is, our ears are more sensitive to some frequencies and less sensitive to other frequencies.
Not only that, but the sensitivity changes with the sound pressure level (SPL), too. This is called the
Fletcher Munson Equal Loudness Curve and if you are a sound engineer or work with sound, it is
something you need to be aware of. Take a look at the chart below. You'll notice it's marked horizontally
with a scale denoting the frequency of sound. Vertically it's marked in SPL. On the chart are a number of
curved lines, each with a number (loudness level) marked. Let's begin by looking at the lowest solid line
marked with a loudness level of 10 phons. (The loudness level in phons is a subjective sensation--this is the
level we perceive the sound to be at.) From about 500Hz to roughly 1,500Hz the line is flat at 10dB SPL on
the graph. This means that for us to perceive a sound to be at a loudness level (LL) of 10 phons, frequencies
from 500Hz to 1,500 Hz must be at 10dB. Make sense so far? OK, now look further into the higher
frequencies, say 5,000Hz. Notice the line dips here--this says we perceive 5,000Hz to be 10 phons when the
source is actually only 6dB. To perceive 10,000Hz at the same level (10 phons), it would need to be about
20dB. From this we can clearly see the ear is more sensitive in the 2,000Hz to 5,000Hz range, yet not
nearly as sensitive in the 6,000Hz and up range. Ref… http://www.allchurchsound.com/ACS/edart/fmelc.html
Just How Loud Is LOUD??
Here are some interesting numbers, collected from a variety of sources that help one to understand the
volume levels of various sources and how they can affect our hearing.
Ref… http://www.gcaudio.com/resources/howtos/loudness.html
Environmental Noise
Weakest sound heard 0dB
Normal conversation (3-5') 60-70dB
Telephone dial tone 80dB
City Traffic (inside car) 85dB
Train whistle at 500' 90dB
Subway train at 200' 95dB
Level at which sustained exposure may result in
hearing loss
90 - 95dB
Power mower 107dB
Power saw 110dB
Pain begins 125dB
Pneumatic riveter at 4' 125dB
Jet engine at 100' 140dB
Death of hearing tissue 180dB
Loudest sound possible 194dB
Perceptions of Increases in Decibel Level
Imperceptible Change 1dB
Barely Perceptible Change 3dB
Clearly Noticeable Change 5dB
About Twice as Loud 10dB
About Four Times as Loud 20dB
Sound Levels of Music
Normal piano practice 60 -70dB
Fortissimo Singer, 3' 70dB
Chamber music, small auditorium 75 - 85dB
Piano Fortissimo 84 - 103dB
Walkman on 5/10 94dB
Symphonic music peak 120 - 137dB
Amplifier rock, 4-6' 120dB
Rock music peak 150dB
Just What is a Decibel (db)?
Early acousticians came up with a simple method of comparing two sounds. A sound that was perceived to
be twice as loud as another was said to be one Bel greater in sound level. The Bel was used as a unit of
comparison. It is not a unit of measure. Its namesake, Alexander Grahm Bell, was a pioneer in the science
of audiology (the study of human hearing). It soon became apparent this unit of comparison was not very
useful in describing the difference between similar sounds. A small unit of comparison, the decibel, was
established. One decibel (1 dB) is one-tenth of a Bel. Since a decibel is one-tenth of a Bel, then 10 decibels
(10 dB) would equal one Bel. In other words, a sound that is twice as loud as another sound could be
described as being 10 decibels (10 dB) louder. By definition, one decibel (1 dB) represents the smallest
change in volume a human ear can perceive. The average ear, however, can only detect a 3 dB change.
Equalizers EQ
The three main types of EQ are: Shelving, Graphic, and Parametric
o Found in most mixers (including Ramsa and Mackie)
o "Bass" (LF) and "Treble" (HF) controls boost or cut begining at a
certain point ("knee")
o Sometimes midrange (MF) is included, and sometimes with
adjustable midpoint frequency
o Octave, 1/2 Octave and 1/3 octave varitites
o Separate boost/cut adjustment (usually a slide pot) for each band
o Display of slide pots in a row shows a "graphic" picture of EQ
o Separate adjustment of Boost/Cut, Center Frequency, and Q
(sharpness of peak/dip)

Social Dance is a form of dance focused on socializing. This distinguishes it from other forms of dances such as ceremonial, competitive, performance, etc.
Social dance is usually a partner dance, i.e., it requires two people, a lead and a follow (traditionally the role of the lead is performed by a man, and the follow is a woman, and this is still the norm, although modern times have brought some flexibility and you may find women performing as leads and men willing to be follows.) In principle the lead is just supposed to "lead" the movements, while the follow "follows" the lead's clues, but when performed correctly the process is more like a complex non-verbal and very gratifying form of communication between two human beings.
Various classes of social dances are:
- Latin rhythms: salsa, merengue, rumba, mambo, cha-cha, bachata . . .
- Swings: est coast, west coast, lindy hop, hustle . . .
- Ballroom: waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango . . .

Adoptive Parents
Who Makes an Adoption Plan?
The negative stereotype of a birthparent heartlessly giving up a child couldn't be further from truth. Neither is it the reality that all birthparents are troubled and irresponsible teens. In fact, most birthparents today are over the age of 18, who recognize that they lack the resources to raise a child.
Many of them are already caring for one or more children, and realize that placing this newborn with another family will give the baby a better chance at the life they've dreamed he or she would have. For them, as for most birthparents, the decision to place their child for adoption is an educated and thoughtful one, and it is often a painful, but loving, choice. As one adoption professional explained, "one of the biggest, hardest myths for birthparents is that they don't care. They do care. They care enough to know that they can't parent at this time."
Here are some real words from some real birthparents that say it better than we ever could…
"I can't give Daniel what he deserves. I know that giving him away at the very beginning of his life will not put him through any long term damage… I know that by giving him the chance to have 2 parents to love & guide and stand by him no matter what problems will come along in the future, I have made the right decision."
"I want to keep you so badly, but I know I am doing what is best for both of us… I could never give you what they can. I am still in school. I make minimum wage at my job. We wouldn't be able to make it. I know I am making the best decision. Please try and understand my position. I love you more than life. It is killing me to give you up."
"I have to be honest and tell you that the 22 nd of this month went by with tears of joy for you three. I still look back and know deep in my heart that if I had the opportunity to do it all over again, I would still do it the same way. I can remember your ad in the paper about puppies and ponies and a college education. I can remember like it was yesterday the look on Michelle's face when I handed you Mark. A late Christmas present, remember?"
"Sorry that I have not written to you guys (for almost 2 years), but I needed some time to deal with everything… definitely no regrets though. What a blessing the two of you are. J I know Timmy is loved and cared for and having a wonderful life! Do you know how I know that? Because he has the best parents any boy could ask for."
"I am feeling a peace knowing how much you both want this child – I feel like I am doing the right thing Your letters make me realize how much of a wonderful life this child will have with you – a life I knew I could not give at this time."
"Beth and John are very special and I can't think of anyone who deserves this chance to provide for and love their 'New Baby Boy' more than they do… the way they looked at Michael when they first saw him was with nothing but absolute and unconditional love. What a feeling of pride it gave me to be able to hand Mom her son. I wouldn't trade that moment for the world. I am so happy for them, and for the fact that I got to be the one to make their dreams come true… I feel privileged to have been a part of completing their family."
A New Found Friend
A poem written by Dawn, one of our birthmothers to the Adoptive Mother
Not so long ago, my life was incomplete.
My dreams of success seemed far beyond my reach.
Then out of nowhere, a miracle occurred.
A complete stranger came into my life.
Amongst all my problems peacefulness filled my being…
I knew everything would be alright.
She shared a common bond with me, one only mothers can share.
You see, I am the birthmother of the child for whom she'll care.
Together we've shared laughter, tears, heartache, and joy.
The reason… A precious baby boy.
You mean the world to me,
And in my heart you will always be.
No one has ever touched my heart in this way.
I'll cherish our newfound friendship forever.
I'll be with you every day.
Choices and Decisions
A poem written by Keri Ann while incarcerated regarding her adoption plan
Sometimes you gotta make a hard Decision.
Sometimes you just should have Listened.
It is only your children as home you are Missing.
And every night it is them you with you were Kissing.
Sometimes you don't know if the choice you are making is Right.
But you don't take it Light.
And always put up a Fight.
Yes, No of I Might....

Not your typical lawyer. Debbie Wolf got to where she is today one challenging job at a time. After studying psychology in college, her first job was as a social worker for the Massachusetts Department of Social Services. This turned out to be both wrenching and rewarding. One Thanksgiving eve, she was charged with delivering a 6-year-old boy whose mother was mentally ill and abusing drugs to his new foster home. "The place was so bad I refused to leave him there," she said. "Instead I took him back to my office and we ended up spending the night at work with another co-worker until we found a more suitable alternative."

Rising Light: Yael Pachino and the Art of Food Portraiture
Rising Light is an article series highlighting promising photography students from all over the world. This month we introduce Yael Pachino, at Hallmark Institute of Photography, Massachusetts, and her mouth-watering photography.
Baltimore native Yael Pachino is big on food. Not eating food per se, though she does admit to it, but photographing food. And she's good at it. Very good.
Yael is currently a student at the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. She fell in love with Hallmark after spending a day touring the facilities. In particular she was impressed with the number of portrait and still-life studios the school maintained along with an incredibly well supplied set of cameras, lenses, and lighting that was hers to utilize. Add to that an amazing faculty to get encouraged from while learning how to capture pictures of food that make you want to eat the page.

Comic Fans to Gather in Times Square at Midnight for Launch of 'The New 52'
All art from DC Comics
Tonight marks the launch of DC Comics' "The New 52" -- a reimagined series of 52 classic comics, starting with "Justice League #1," which goes on sale at midnight at Midtown Comics in Times Square and features favorites including Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aqua Man, and Batman. Comic book icons Geoff Johns and Jim Lee of DC Comics will be there, as will an array of superheroes, and, of course, fans. "Flashpoint #5," the final issue in Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert's bestselling series, will also be for sale. The remaining 51 titles to be launched reflect an array of comic book genres, from western to horror to detective, and will be released 13 editions a week through September.
DC Comics has a history of reinventing the thousands of stories and characters created in their 70 years of existence. This happened in the '50s and '60s, and again in the '80s. With this current initiative, DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio told us, they're trying to bring a more youthful feel to the characters, making them not seasoned heroes but novices still learning what they're doing, thereby upping the antes of danger and adventure.
"What's happened is that we as executives and fans have gotten older; we've aged with the characters," he said. "We want to get back down to the core characters and rebuild the fiction around them. This isn't about rehashing stories, but providing things that new readers can relate to."
In "Superman" of the present day, for example, by George Perez and artist Jesus Merino, Clark Kent is a bachelor living on his own. He's never been married and is figuring out how to deal with his human and superhuman qualities. Lois Lane, for her part, is dating a colleague at the Daily Planet, Jonathan Carroll, and has a new position with the paper.

There's also a costume change in effect, updating superhero-wear originally created in the '30s to instead reflect "what the heroes of today would be wearing in their adventures," DiDio said. "A lot has been made of Superman losing his outside underwear -- those styles were really reflective of muscle man suits in the '30s and '40s."
Along with the launch of new editions of physical comics are digital distribution methods including read.dccomics.com; iOS, Android, and WP7 apps; and Comixology. There's also DC Universe Online, and a video game, "Batman Arkham City."
DiDio said, "We want to make comics more accessible and help them reach the widest audience possible. There are parts of the U.S. that don't have retailers nearby, and there are also casual readers who might want to use an iPad or iPhone to read comics." (Don't expect Spider-Man to have an iPad, however -- "We try not to use too much of the current technology; those things can get old as fast as anything!")
The goal is to compete with and, DiDio says, exceed the sort of special effects you get in movies and video games: "What we try to do is push the scope and keep the heart of the character."
However, there's a change to Batgirl that not everyone likes. After being introduced as a character named Barbara Gordon on the '60s TV show, in the comic book series, in "The Killing Joke," the character was shot by the Joker and rendered paraplegic. She went on to become the character of Oracle, superhero information broker, but never regained the use of her legs. In the latest re-envisioning, Batgirl is returning as Barbara Gordon -- meaning, she will walk.
DiDio said, "We decided we'd bring back Barbara Gordon as Batgirl. We didn't want to turn our back on the diversity issue, but she'll always be the most recognizable. We are working with concerns to diversify the line. We're always looking to reposition to be reflective of today's audience."
DiDio's own experience with comics started with "The Amazing Spider Man #40," which he read in the '60s. He says his greatest interests, however, were in mystery and horror -- favorite characters include The Metal Men and Adam Strange -- which eventually led him to superheroes. "The Flash? Batman? What's not to love?" DiDio hopes to bring the breadth and depth of comics to new readers. "I think that's what's fun about what we do," he said.

Glen Allen resident to compete for $100k in tuition at SEC championship game
Ryan Kovacik, a VCU student from Glen Allen, is one of five finalists selected by Dr Pepper to compete for $100,000 in tuition money prior to the SEC football championship game Dec. 1 in Atlanta. Kovacik submitted his video to DrPepper.com explaining why he deserved to win college tuition from the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway.
"Dr Pepper is a longtime supporter of college football, and we are proud to have helped so many students reach their dreams by removing the burden of tuition through the annual Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway," said Leslie Vesper, director of brand marketing for Dr Pepper. "Once again this football season, we're giving away more than $1 million in tuition to help make paying for school a little easier, and we're very pleased that the Cowboys Classic is now part of the program."
Kovacik was selected by a panel of judges on the strength of his video submission. Entries were judged on a range of criteria, such as the inclusion of Dr Pepper, a description of how the tuition money and a college education will help the student make an impact in the world, and overall presentation quality. Kovacik's winning video can be viewed at http://bit.ly/PQeG1Q.
The five finalists first competed in a preliminary contest Nov. 30, and Kovacik was among two winners who advanced to the finals, which will air on ABC during the game. For each of the events, finalists will throw footballs from five yards away into a two-foot hole in an over-sized Dr Pepper can replica. The fan who successfully completes the most throws in 30 seconds will win the grand prize of $100,000 in college tuition. The runner-up will take home a $23,000 tuition prize, and the three contestants who did not advance from the preliminary throw will receive $2,500 in tuition.
Dr Pepper is giving away grand prizes during halftime of four conference championship games later in the year, including the Dr Pepper ACC Championship, the Pac-12 Championship, the Big Ten Championship and the SEC Championship. The brand also gave away a grand prize scholarship during the Cowboys Classic on Sept. 1.
There is still a chance for consumers 18 and older to enter to win a $2,500 tuition prize through the program by submitting videos at DrPepper.com by Dec. 31. In addition to the video submissions, Dr Pepper will also be giving away tuition through a number of retailer specific promotions.

A friend told me I was being Zen-like and irritating when, just after yoga class, I seemed unable to form a solid opinion about where we should go for beer…preferring simply to flow along with others' plans like a babbling brook…or something…
I can appreciate that…and so offer the following haiku in small tribute to the long-suffering multitudes who tirelessly put up with pretentious yogis, hippie Buddhists, and other annoyingly cosmic and mellow types:
Meditating, I
become a pain in the ass
to most of my friends
(…though suspecting doing so could make me even more Zen-like and irritating…there's gotta be a koan in there somewhere…)

We introduce the virtual paths routing (VPR) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks. VPR provides highly dynamic, correct, and efficient paths creation and maintenance between nodes. Innovatively, the protocol utilizes a technique to monitor the mobility of the nodes, and factorizes it in its operations. VPR is a distributed, on-demand, and adaptive protocol that comprises two phases. The first phase is path discovery, in which VPR discovers and creates a virtual path between source and destination nodes. The second phase is path maintenance, in which the protocol monitors the usability of all active paths.

I'm reading some documentation on IxSet's http://happstack.com/docs/crashcourse/AcidState.html#ixset , and I was wondering about looking at source of Indexable typeclass which is imported from Data.IxSet.
So then I took a repository of Happstack and looked there (darcs get http://patch-tag.com/r/mae/happstack), but that got me to even bigger frustration.
I see the happstack/happstack-ixset/src/Happstack/Data/IxSet.hs file, which creates a module Happstack.Data.IxSet, but I can't see which file creates a module Data.IxSet (and implements class Indexable).
