I live in New Orleans, Louisiana and after I experienced problems with my car after hurricane Katrina I purchased a 05 Chevrolet cobalt in November of 2005 from a certified used car dealership. I did a Carfax report on the car and nothing came back on the car. I purchased an extended warranty for my car as well. Within the first month it started when I needed my headlights pushed up and my air conditioner was leaking all over the floor.
When I brought my car to the dealership the front desk people came to inspect the problems and informed me that my car had been wrecked in the front that my warranty was now void! Not to mention that I had to bring it 5 hours away from my house b/c all of the New Orleans dealerships were out of commission or I would have to wait 2 to 3 months. The dealership told me they could not do it unless I wanted to pay for it. I contacted the owner of the dealership and basically threatened to call all local news stations and he fixed the problem.
About 2 months later I was commuting from Jackson, Mississippi to New Orleans weekly, and my cruise control stopped working and the wheels began shaking very badly on my way back to New Orleans. I took it to the dealership I purchased it from. They told me while they had it they would fix a recall with the headliner. So I go to pick it up and everything worked fine. 2 days later I realized on my way back to Mississippi that the cruise control would not work at all on the interstate, only on highways.
The dealership made me wait 2 months to bring it back in and gave me a line of crap about my warranty not covering it and the part I needed replaced would be an absurd amount of money. About 6 months my automatic door locks stopped working and would only work when used with my alarm remote. A few days after that my driver side door would not open. 2 months later my car locks started going crazy and locking and unlocking themselves when the car was on and off. A few months ago my unlock button on my alarm remote stopped working.
I changed out the battery but it still did not work. Now here I am driving down the street and I hear beeping and see that my car is telling me that the power steering is completely out. Imagine that.. just when you wonder how could it get worse. Me and my husband are looking for another car for him and I will NEVER buy another Chevrolet or American made car again! EVER!! I can honestly say that I HATE CHEVROLET!
Have you forgot what the build was supposed to be modeled after? The car was designed to rival the Mustang that was modeled after there "hot rod" 60's era. The 2010 was supposed to be modeled after the same era, the only era that even looked half way decent. I have been a mechanic for over 10 years and been working on cars since I was 7 in the back yard. Currently have my own shop and struggling along like the rest of the city. I would usually start talking about Fords now and say how I like them so much because they keep me in business, being that if I only worked on them they would keep me busy enough to keep my doors open.
Oh I specialize in transmissions not writing letters, but I saw the new Camaro coming out of retirement on a commercial tonight 4/24/09. Hey I might need a new shop soon tell the GM manufactures to call me before they fold up I might be looking to buy, if they don't suck the life out of their business before it folds up. I'm highly depressed when I look at this car and even more so when I think of the poor quality that went into making this car. Because judging by past experiences the quality of all domestic cars has gone way, way, way down. And keeps plummeting.
I am and have always been a Chevy man but when asked what is a good car to own or buy I am ashamed to say "buy a foreign car". Toyota is one of the best on the market, Honda is way up there to the Corolla, Camry, Civic, Accord, Tundra. Man Chevy, Ford and of course Dodge can't even touch those cars. Speaking of that the 2010 Chevy Camaro looks like a Nissan Sentra on crack. I mean really what was wrong with the first 30 designs? They just kept getting worse and worse now it's not even something I want to buy. I'll go buy a new tundra and recommend everyone I come across to do the same.
People wonder why we mechanics buy a 200 dollar car, fix it and drive it. Because it's better quality that way -- and at least it works for once. Oh and yes I own several Chevys everything from a 67 Camaro to a 95 s10 and even a 90 Suburban. Some of the cars I feel they got right, the 67 because it's a sexy ass hotrod, the suburban because it's a huge freaking tank and the 2.2 S 10 because it's a gas saver and it's a truck. I call it mighty mouse because I put it through hell and it takes it and asks for more. But try to buy something like that new. Good luck, better buy from overseas I'm telling you, you'll be a whole lot more happy.
MIDLOTHIAN, VIRGINIA -- Two weeks ago I received a recall notice in the mail regarding a malfunctioning speedometers on many General Motors products. In the notice GM claims that if you have had this problem fixed previously you can apply to be reimbursed. Well that's true but the chances of getting paid are slim if you have any miles on your vehicle. So, the recall states that they will cover your vehicle with an extended warranty of 7 yrs of 70K miles. Well my '03 Tahoe started having the problem of the speedometer sticking over 2 years ago (around 40K miles). At that time I contacted the dealer and inquired about any possible recalls since I knew 3 other people with the same issue.
They stated that they were repairing dozens every week but GM was not covering the repair. So, finally last year my speedometer stop working completely and my inspection was due. So, I went to the dealer and had the repair done for approximately $350. Now here we are, I have applied for the appropriate reimbursement and my claim was denied because the repair was "officially" done outside of the 7yr/70k, whichever comes first guidelines. My truck was repaired when the vehicle had 77K mile in it. This has really ticked me off because I am a loyal GM customer.
I current have two other GM vehicles ('06 Vette and '03 Denali) and I feel the least they could be was repay me for my expense for a clearly defective product. Through the dealerships repair shops GM knew this issue existed years before final offering any coverage for their defective product they sold to tons of customer. This again is a prime example of the US auto makers not caring about their customer. I also own a Lexus and not only do they stand behind their product they are reasonable people and try and retain customers. I am done with General Motors. I am sure many GM customers will relate be the frustration I feel. Maybe we can band together and sue for the money?
RENO, NEVADA -- I bought this vehicle in April of 2009, drove it through break-in around town for 1000 miles. I then had Chevrolet change the oil and filter such that I could enjoy my new Traverse on a 2000 mile trip to Washington state! This Traverse was the most uncomfortable of any vehicle I have ever driven in all my 64 years! It was not stable at highway speeds and it drove as if it were a truck with alignment trouble! The advertised fuel mileage was way above actual mileage.
Actual fuel mileage for 2000 miles on the highway was nineteen (19). Actual fuel mileage for around town was 12, and it NEVER improved!(It's a 6 cylinder.) After the trip, I took it to my Chevrolet dealer only to be told that the mileage I experienced was good for the Traverse! Too bad they told me the truth only after I purchased it! I have tried to contact Chevrolet no less than FOUR times and all my requests for help have been totally ignored. GOOD THING PRES. OBAMA NOW owns 60 some percent of this company-- He'll make them fix it! LOL. What to do? All requests for Chevrolet help have been documented for all the good it will do!
LEESBURG, GEORGIA -- The sensor quit working after 70000 miles. The company should replace it a NO COST to the customer. They know it was a faulty part. I just don't understand why they don't pay the full amount. The offer to pay 50% just don't get it. I feel this will be our last GM auto. Sub-standard parts just don't get it. I hope they don't supply parts for our aircraft above us. If the parts are defective just make it right and don't do a half ass job of making it right. If I did my job and installed something defective I would have to make it 100% right. General Motors you are not the company that I thought you were. Your letter signed by ** is just bologna. Customer service has fallen short of what I expected.
CARLSBAD, NEW MEXICO -- I told the mechanic, it was losing antifreeze since it was new. I was 100 miles away in a strange city and it lost all the antifreeze, it was pouring out, 2 blocks from a garage. I put water in and got there. I had them fix it and went home. The next day I went to the Chevy garage to see about the warranty and they said NO I didn't have it fixed at a Chevy garage so no warranty. Trying to find a Chevy garage in a strange town with a motor out of coolant. I love the Colorado, but I'll never buy another Chevy product.
I replaced my distributor last year and my distributor cap in May of this year. Now my distributor cap will not stay on as the lip around the distributor is no longer made of aluminum and is made of plastic. The area the screws are screwed into have broken off and the distributor cap can not be attached. This is caused because of the heat in the engine and the plastic parts. So guess what, you have to replace the entire distributor if all you need is a distributor cap. My distributor is working fine so now I have to spend $200.00 again. This is ridiculous. I am also on my second air compressor for this van in the last two years. I think Chevy needs to do better on their quality checks.
Lsx 454, lsx 454 crate motor- THIN CYLINDER WALLS. An important component of the engine block's strength comes from having enough metal thickness to support a load. The industry standard and Chevrolet's standard for cylinder wall thickness is a minimum of .200 thousandths of an inch. Chevrolet's own advertising for the lsx block states "maximum 4.250 bore at.200 minimum wall thickness".
My defective block had a smaller 4.185 bore, hence the remaining cylinder wall thickness should have been.2325. However, the sonic testing that was performed post-mortem discovered a bore thickness as little as.177 which effectively cheated me of.0555 thickness of metal or using a simple analogy in dollars, I was entitled to $232.50 but only received $177.00 dollars. A shortage of $55.50 or 24 percent! Clearly this engine block was defective even by Chevrolet's own standards.
2/16/11. Friday, February 11, my oil gauge showed no oil pressure. I had a friend look at my vehicle and decided the gauge was bad. I took my Avalanche in to be serviced by an independent shop who told me all vehicles with the same chassis and year had the same problem and GM issued a Special Coverage Adjustment to cover the defective part. Problem is my vehicle has over 70,000 miles. Under 70,000 and everything is covered, between 70,000 and 80,000 just the part is covered.
Now the amusing part, to get the free part you have to pay the dealer $60 dollars to get the numbers off your gauges! So much for free part. The real kicker is that GM has known about this problem since 11/8/2007 (date of the Special Coverage) but thought best to keep this knowledge to themselves. I'm sure hoping all the vehicle would rack up more than 80,000 miles!
I bought this Chevy truck new after driving Chevys for 45 years. At 52K miles, the left front wheel bearing was loose enough to cause a vibration. I was amazed to find that the bearings are not serviceable but have to be replaced as a unit at the cost of $550. The dealer covered this repair under extended warranty. Now at 94K miles, the right front bearing failed.
The cost at this time is $757, not covered by warranty. For the first 100 years of automobile manufacturing, wheel bearings could be serviced and adjusted for a nominal fee. To change this assembly to something that can only be replaced for an exorbitant price is outrageous. The next vehicle I purchase will be a Honda.

Brooklyn Beckham has made his modelling debut, we saw that one coming.
At just 15, Brooklyn Beckham has landed his very first magazine cover for 'Man About Town' as well as a 20 page editorial spread. The eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham has lived his life in the spotlight so far, thanks to his famous parents, but now he just might be on the path to becoming a star in his own right. The question is whose footsteps will he follow in?
Brooklyn Beckham strikes a pose with mother Victoria
When Brooklyn Beckham came into the world in 1999 things were a little different, his mother was still a Spice Girl and his father played for Manchester United. The pop star and footballer pairing proved a winning combination with the media and soon David and Victoria morphed into the Beckham's, Britain's most famous celebrity couple. In 2002, Brooklyn's little brother Romeo was born, followed by Cruz three years later. Then in 2011 the three Beckham boys were joined by a little sister, Harper.
It was actually 11 year old Romeo who beat Brooklyn to becoming the first Beckham mini model when he starred in Burberry's December 2012 campaign. Brooklyn's cover star debut though might just put him one better than his brother as gets pictured in a range of designer labels including Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent and Supreme, throughout the 20 page spread. The article had been described as 'a 20-page fashion story celebrating teenage style, which shows a warm and honest insight into the moment men begin to express themselves through clothes.' Which sounds pretty fitting for young Brooklyn, who, with Posh and Becks as parents, was probably taught about designer clothes and how to wear them from a very young age. Photographing Brooklyn for his big moment is 'friend of the family' Alasdair McLellan, who shot Victoria for UK Vogue and David for the smugly titled, Fantastic Man magazine.
More: David Beckham buying his own taxi?
Despite the fashion interest, Brooklyn has been reported to be more likely to follow in his father's footsteps than mother Victoria's. Last October he was spotted training on the same ground where his father began his football career at Manchester United. However sources were quick to say Brooklyn was not trying out for the team. He has also reportedly had trials with London club, Chelsea, and is now training at Queens Park Rangers' football academy. All this whilst juggling being at school in London.
A young Brooklyn with his father David
Footballer or model? Who knows what path Brooklyn will eventually chose, but with David and Victoria has parents he's sure likely to be able to go down either path with ease. It's certainly not surprising that he's landed a magazine cover already, especially since little brother Romeo's already done his first fashion campaign and the Beckham's are of course nearly British royalty. But for now fifteen year old Brooklyn is still very much a teenager and probably has some homework to get on with whilst he chooses between a footballing or modelling career. If only we were all so spoilt for choice as teens.

A microwave scattering model was developed for layered vegetation based on an iterative solution of the radiative transfer equation up to the second order to account for multiple scattering within the canopy and between the ground and the canopy. The model is designed to operate over a wide frequency range for both deciduous and coniferous forest and to account for the branch size distribution, leaf orientation distribution, and branch orientation distribution for each size. The canopy is modeled as a two-layered medium above a rough interface. The upper layer is the crown, containing leaves, stems, and branches. The lower layer is the trunk region, modeled as randomly positioned cylinders with a preferred orientation distribution above an irregular soil surface. Comparisons of results obtained using this model with measurements from deciduous and coniferous forests show good agreement at several frequencies for both like and cross polarizations

WEBSITE OF THE DAY: Timista
In just over three weeks, the eyes of the world will be on London, and for those of us who live and work in this fine city, there are a few concerns.
Travel chaos, overcrowding, crime. And that's just the Jubilee line…
But those of us with some civic pride are also worried about how the millions of extra visitors are going to get the most out of this vibrant, eclectic city.
Perhaps timista.com can help out.
It's an award-winning new beta site that presents options for a good night out based on some very simple selectable criteria.
Once you've told it what you want, it scurries off into the online wilderness to find suggestions for your perfect outing. It apparently uses the same algorithms as the Mars Pathfinder (?!) so finding a bar with room for six people within walking distance of Marylebone Station shouldn't present too much of a challenge for it.
Our only grumble is that the advanced search option brings up only one more category. Arguably it's the most important one as it saves you having to filter out all the theatre suggestions and trips to the zoo that will invariably pop up in your results. Why not just make it one of the normal options?
A quick fix that would make this site just about the most useful London-centric bookmark we've seen in a while.
If you have a useful, funny, or just plain weird website that you want to tell us about, drop us a line using our feedback form.

Contrast AO, Fine Edge
Gerber knows from experience that what's in your pocket says a lot about how you see things. The Gerber Contrast's bold lines and sculpted shape are visually striking, but the real statement comes from how it feels in your hand. The combination of super light, deeply textured G-10 and steel in the body means it stays put no matter how wet the conditions get, with a deft balance point between ultra light and sturdy. Already popular as a rugged daily carry knife, dispatching small cutting tasks and utility work with ease, this evolution of the Contrast includes our advanced Assisted Opening 2.0 mechanism, for fast, one-handed deployment of the drop point blade—no need to stop what you're doing to get your knife open and ready to use.
The Contrast's looks set it apart, but every part has a role. Designed to perform when needed, and then sit comfortably at the ready when not, every curve of the knife is considered. The G-10 handle creates a super light body that's impervious to rust and corrosion, resists temperature change, and offers positive grip, even when wet. Paired with stainless steel, the body is tough enough to withstand everything from light-duty shop work to heavy-duty outdoor tasks. The matte black finish on the handle and the blade gives the Contrast a low profile, tactical look that hides its utilitarian nature inside.
You shouldn't have to think about your knife, except when you need it. At 3.3 ounces, the Contrast won't weigh you down, and its 3-inch blade means it can work smoothly around big jobs. The Assisted Opening 2.0 mechanism delivers reliable, one-handed deployment, and the thumb Plunge Lock on the handle offers smooth release when closing, keeping your fingers away from the blade's path.
A removable pocket clip lets you carry the Contrast easily in your pocket, or secure it to a bag for fast access. Thread the cordage of your choice through the lanyard hole for added security and quick location on the go.

I have to agree with the person that gave it one star. Mine was really hard to open and I blistered my thumb like he did! I tried like survival instructor to adjust the pivot bolt and destroyed two bits from two expensive torx sets as well as rounding out the screws, they were just ridiculously tight. I own hundreds of knives so this was not my first rodeo adjusting tension. It was , however, the first time I damaged my screws and bits. I emailed Gerber about this and am awaiting their reply. I live in Canada so it will cost me almost as much as this knife is worth to send it back plus I will have to buy more torx kits to replace my bits. If this does not turn out favorably, this indeed will be my last gerber, and this is unfortunate as I own quite a few. This being said, had I know this, I probably would never have purchased this knife. In all honesty, this is the first knife that I could not recommend, and that's a shame because I love the look and feel of it.
Knife came sharp as all hell. Keeps the edge. The serated/straight blade is great for any task you may rub into. Nice weight and balance. The AO is is fine... the guy who gave 1 star probably got a one off bad unit and swore off Gerber... Let him. He's missin out on a good knife. Like the survival guy said... You keep you blade correct then your AO's gonna be fine. This thing opens smooth and fast. Plunge lock and thumb bolts are right where they should be. No reaching for the lock. If you're looking for something to keep in your pocket for utility or personal safety this piece will do.
The Assisted opening worked fine and the blade cuts things very well. This knife is very well
I was very disappointed with the "Assist Opening 2.0". I have another Gerber with assist and it opens easier than this one.
I agree with Average above. Mine is not hard to open, but I certainly would not consider it "assisted " by any stretch. Nothing like my CRKT with Outburst.
This is still a nice smaller EDC knife
Bought one of these 2 yrs ago and use it daily!! Love every single thing about it!! Easy to open with the "assist opening" and feels great in the hand. I can't say enough about this knife. Best knife I've ever bought!!
This knife shaves like a razor out of the box. It is great looking and feels even better in the hand. The assisted opening works great. I can't wait to use it to clean deer and small game.
This knife opens great. But when it is locked it does feel impossable to open, but then again thats what the lock is for, when lock is diengaged the action is smooth and swift.
I think if you treat your blades right you won't have the AO issue occur. Also is it's too tight you can always adjust the primary bolt. Mine works without any adjustments. Fast and reliable.
The specimen I received was terrible! The assisted opening didn't work at all! In fact, it did the exact opposite and opposed the opening of the knife. It was so ridiculously hard to open that I got a large, painful blister on my thumb after 10 minutes of opening the knife because I had to push so hard on the thumb studs. I would definitely not recommend this knife and this could be the last time I buy from Gerber

Nice, insightful article. Hayward has always conducted himself with class. His
calm demeanor Is a real plus as he competes day in and day out against the best
talents in the NBA. Hopefully Jazz management can surround him and the other
young players with the talent they need to compete for a championship, starting
with a strong, reliable point guard.
Good luck, Gordon, and Go Jazz!!

It is a good thing that Gordon's "hairy chest" did not get in the way of his shaving. Now if Corbin will just let the younger guys play and get a lot of minutes you might see one of them break out into a great player. You noticed I did not say "All Star player.' Today's All Stars are nothing but a popularity contest. Ming got voted in every year and the last three years he hardly played in a game.

I agree..that it's a popularity contest...because majority of the vote comes from the fans...think about it...in yao ming's case...there is more than a billion chinese in the world...and he is their nation's pride...like Manny Pacquiao is to the Philippines...so yeah...they'll vote for him...even if he played just 5 mins the entire season...Allen Iverson has a ton of fans...still got voted in...and...im sure that the least likely to get voted in would be the players in a Jazz uniform...unless this team...surprises everyone and dominates...they won't get the attention they deserve...the good side is...we dont have a lot of bandwagon fans....like the Lakers...the Heat and The Celtics...

this is a great article...and probably the main reason he was drafted...its because you know he'll try to make the right basketball decision...he isn't at par with a guy named John Stockton with that...but having a great family like he has...and the way he is raised...you know that this kid will only succeed...and i am pretty sure...if Gordon Hayward was a free agent...there'll be a lot of teams lining up to get him...a very heady and efficient player...plays solid D...and yeah...he needs to shoot more...we all know he could score...we all know he'd make the right decision...so i just hope he puts it up more...reading this made me respect Hayward a little bit more...and made me more of a fan of his...so i hope we lock him up...cause the kid can play...the coach just have to release the beast within him...he could put up a 20-5-5 line someday

Gives a bit more context to the "wet willie" from Delonte West.
Hayward never responded because he has self control and restraint. Very tough to do and a rare quality these days.
I'm glad Hayward is on our team.

Great room and staff, very clean and comfortable, super breakfast. We were very impressed with this hotel and would recommend it to anyone.
Absolutely none
The staff couldn't have been more helpful, and the aircon was wonderful in the middle of a heatwave! Nice straightforward journey to Nîmes airport in the morning - took about 15 mins.
the ambience was fantastic and just as I had imagined a Camargue farm to feel like
I liked it all but thought the breakfast was too expensive at 33 e per person
The rooms were nice.
The receptionist was not bilingual and we had a hard time communicating. However, the next morning there was a bilingual person manning the front desk. They also have no elevator so toting your luggage can be cumbersome to the third floor.
I'm very sorry but there was nothing I liked about this hotel...
As I said before it was a huge disappointment: staff doesn't speak english, receptionist had no communication manners, noise from the train station was incredible and even radiator in the room was hot while autside was +25 degrees! It was absolutely awful. I have no idea why this hotel has 2 stars and is classified as a hotel. I'm very sorry but I'll never come back there and will never recmmend this to anyone else. It was very poor service for the money. I'm very sorry for myself.
Both beds were extremely comfortable with good clean duvets. Good hot water at all times. Very central so everything was within walking distance.
Room (twin) very small with not much room to move. Although it was hot at night, we had to keep the windows closed because of the train noise. Very few parking spaces for customers.
Though the hotel itself was fine, many people would be put off by the extremely scruffy area.
Le Sambuc
It is small and comfortable and the staff very kind, so the stay was quiet and pleasant.
The experience made you feel that you were in a luxury home as a guest, not the normal 'hotel' experience, much nicer.
The bathroom takes a bit of getting used to as it didn't have a door.
I loved the bespoke service that was offered - the fact that the owners talk to the guests is amazing. Loved the ambience and the decor. Would definitely go again.
The location was excellent, right in the center of things. Staff was quite helpful, accomodating and generous. For the price, recognizing the location, we were disappointed with the overall condition of the hotel. It is rather tired and looks it. The building is a charming old one, but could use some upgrades. These comments only reflect our views on the common areas and our room. Perhaps there are other, nicer rooms available.
There were a couple staff members at the front desk that spoke very good English and were of great help with local information. The rooms are adequate but need updating. The restaurant is amazing but come prepared with mosquito spray! All the staff is very polite and professional.
The walls are very thin and you are able to hear conversations from people in neighboring rooms.
Room was a good size. Swimming pool a bonus. Nice breakfast. The location was very good just out of town and very quiet backing onto fields.
The hotel was fairly basic, old fashioned and dingy. The bathroom needed updating generally. The toilet seat was loose and needed replacing.
the room is large and comfortable, there is a swimming pool in summer time, there is a car parking space, the downtown is within 5 minutes drive.
the restaurant is a bit expensive, especially the wines.
Close by auto to major city and shopping. Staff friendly. Good Coffee.
It had mosquitoes and possibly other room insects. Walls needed cleaning or painting.
swimming pool was nice. Very nice hotel personal to welcome you.
Choose rooms in front of the pool with small balconney. No room for extra beds.

Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: A Practical Approach / Edition 1by Doug Rosenberg, Kendall Scott, Kendall Scott
Pub. Date: 03/05/1999

Applied Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML: An Annotated e-Commerce Example provides a practical, hands-on guide to putting use case methods to work in real-world situations. This companion workbook to Use Case Driven Object Modeling with UML bridges the gap between the theory presented in the authors' first book, and the practical issues involved in the development of an internet/e-commerce application.
Uniquely conceived as a workbook, featuring an e-commerce system for an on-line bookstore as a running example, the book dissects its design in detail, demonstrates the most common design mistakes, and reveals the correct solutions. The hands-on exercises give you the opportunity to detect, identify, and correct critical errors on your own, before reviewing the solutions provided in the book.
The workbook is structured around the proven ICONIX Process, a streamlined approach to UML modeling designed to avoid analysis paralysis without skipping analysis and design. It presents the four key phases of this minimalist approach to use case driven design: domain modeling; use case modeling; robustness analysis; and sequence diagramming. For each of these topics, the book provides an overview, detailed discussion, top 10 mistakes, and a set of exercises for honing object modeling and design skills.
Another unique aspect of this book is the three chapters on reviews. The authors devote a chapter each to requirements review; preliminary design review; and critical design review. This focus on "designing quality in" by teaching how to review UML models fills a major gap in the published literature.
The book shows you, by example, how to avoid more than 70 specific design errors as shown in the "Top 10" error lists on the inside covers and within each chapter. With the information, examples, and exercises in this book, you will develop the knowledge and skills you need to apply use case modeling more effectively to your next application.

Flat Blak is Travis Manning (guitar, lead vocals), Rob Allen (drums and vocals) and Leslie Skaggs (Bass).
When it comes to rock power trios, Flat Blak breaks the mold. Their original music comes from a love of all things Rock-n-Roll. A very high energy mix of a passion to play and perform combined with their years of experience puts their shows in a league by themselves.
Apart from the original music, their classic tribute mash-ups to all the great rockers of the past can only be described as truly unsurpassed.
Travis, Rob and Leslie had been orbiting near each other like 3 hard rock planets in the musical cosmos, only to finally meld into one giant, bright rock and roll planet. That planet is Flat Blak!

Fixing it would be removing it.
Wtf kind of game wants you to kill !@#$ but punishes you for trying and punishes u x100 for being a very strong caster?
Sounds legit to me...
What affects the majority of melee? nothing..not a frigging thing any different then a caster.
desecrator does the exact same thing for both classes as it can be caster anywhere and that also goes for any other ability an elite or champ has.
The only one that may affect melee more is the lava one that follows weherever a champ/elite is standing and even then the AI on the champs/elites has them running around to surround the casters anyways. So we deal with everything you deal with without your extra defence bonuses you get and yet were supposed to be happy that we can 1-2 shot ourselves if we dont read under thier friggin name everytime we run into them.
Melee has nothing to complain about nor contribute to the reflect damage conversation...besides the majority of you are WW builds which you dont even stand there to attack anyways you zip around spinning at 900mph.
Just shuit up, caster have a reasonable arguement for reflect damage.
And no 5% ls+ or 1600 loh should not be a requirement. This is a game thats supposed to be built on build diversity not punish players for not wanting to have to have massive leech if thier hitting incredibly hard.
end rant. No wait..not done...if thier not going to change reflect then at least put a visible identification on the monsters that i can see without hovering over theim while thier running around and trying to friggin check every effin title to see if thier reflect or not before I send myself to oblivion. TY.
Try having more then 29k hp.
Yeah ur right cause i totally should have a massive tanker type build because I require it even though a barb or monk doesnt. Yes i do know they dont because i have both a barb and a monk and ive ran them at 30k hp.
keep trying to look smart.
Also you do realize I can survive getting hit by everything no problem except my own damage? makes sence...I need 20k more hp to survive myself not the monsters that are hitting me...check, I'll put that on my grocery list you charming little !@#$.

Skip to comments.Democrats appear to take Senate with narrow Lehman win (Wisconsin State Senate)
Posted on 06/06/2012 4:15:57 AM PDT by Clint N. Suhks
Democrats appeared to have assumed control of the state Senate with results posted early Wednesday showing former Sen. John Lehman (D-Racine) defeating incumbent Van Wanggaard in a tight race.
Republicans held on to three other state Senate seats in Tuesday's recall voting. Democratic challengers lost recalls bids against Sens. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) and Terry Moulton (R-Chippewa Falls.).
Rep. Jerry Petrowski (R-Stettin) was elected to fill the vacancy left by Sen. Pam Galloway (R-Wausau), who resigned earlier this year after opponents gathered enough signatures to initiate a recall election.
All eyes Wednesday will be on the 21st District. Results posted early Wednesday showed Lehman with 36,255 votes to 35,476 for Wanggaard with 100% of precincts reporting. The margin of 779 could bring a recount.
In a statement, Senate Democratic Leader Mark Miller said:
"Tonight, Wisconsinites across the 21st Senate District elected a new State Senator. By electing a Democratic Senate, the people of Wisconsin have opened the door to responsible dialogue and if needed provide a bulwark against continued political extremism, and restored checks and balances to the Wisconsin Legislature. I look forward to working again with Senator-elect Lehman in the State Senate in the coming months."
(Excerpt) Read more at jsonline.com ...
Oh well Democrats, have your fun now (nothing going on anyway) because come November you will be back to the minority.
I thought Republicans held all four seats
The state senate is out till January too I heard.
The Senate is out until the House calls it back into session. Simply enough, the House can keep out of session until November where the GOP is likely to gain back the one whole seat due to redistricting.
So if they do win, the Dems can enjoy a whole 5 months of nothing.
The real travesty is that this loser was elected by fraud in the city, but now represents people in the redistricted area who were not even able to cast a vote in the matter.
Now we know why they bused in "voters" from MN and MI, I guess. Is this where those buses went?
Yes, this is correct per this article:
"Republicans still control the governor's office and the Assembly. That means if Democrats get the Senate, state government would plunge into gridlock. But the Legislature isn't scheduled to convene again until January, and whoever wins the majority in the recalls will have to defend it before then in the November election."
Walker won this county by more than 5000 votes. Why would someone vote for the republican Walker and then at the same time vote for a democrat in the state senate? Something about this is not right.
So, the 5% Dem fraud factor had 'some' payoff....
Yes, I'm willing to go on record asserting that the dem's were able to post over 125,000 fraudulent votes in the WI election last night.
Busing in voter, mail in ballots, double & triple voting, voter impersonation, etc....
COULD bring a recount???
If a Republican was leading by 779 votes, the media and Obama's lawyers would be screaming "voter fraud" at the tops of their lungs!
It would be a win to be sure, but only a consolation win for the union bosses. In a way, it might be good for the conservative cause to serve as a reminder against overconfidence in November. It's still going to take a big effort to defeat a Democrat incumbent president in Wisconsin.
They "found" a few extra ballot boxes after the votes were counted.
It would serve as a good reminder for November as to which party has the state and the nation's best interest in hand.
While I believe there was fraud I'm not sure about this race. Here's why.
If the Dems are going to manufacture votes then why do it by having the phony ballots show a split vote. This seems to be the argument for claiming fraud.
Perhaps people did in fact split the vote and the fraudulent ballots were all straight Dem votes although I am one of those who cannot understand why anyone would vote for Walker and against the Rep Senator.
Democrats appear to have honed the skill of CHEATING.
It's meaningless
The senate does not meet until
After the Nov election and the new WI voter Id laws go into effect and new districts go into effect .
New districting favor the GOP
Message the Rats got last night was what they did in Racine worked. What they did in the rest of the state wasn't enough. So they need to do more Racines. And they'll do them unless they are called on it.
I'm not suggesting the split ballots are the ones that are fraudulent.
If the Madison 119% turnout is investigated, I'm sure they'll find pure dem fraud.
Pyrrhic victory...
The WI state legislature is out of session until January and can only come back with a special session that would have to be approved by the Governor (ie. Walker). Also, this district in Racine (sorry if misspelled) was based on the 'old' district boundaries because the recall was started before the new boundaries were certified. This senate seat is back up for election in November and this time will be in a district redrawn to favor republicans. 16 senators are up for reelection and 10 of them are DIMs. The GOP has a strong chance to pick up 3-4 new seats. So this is a non-issue.
-—So if they do win, the Dems can enjoy a whole 5 months of nothing.——
Thanks for the explanation. The victory is complete. Sweet.
My mistake, and I believe you are right to a 95% probability and all it takes is 700 or so votes to grab the seat back.
Your's is a good idea. Something else which should be done is make changes to the recall statute so only elected officials guilty of a felony or treason or some other defined egregious behavior can be recalled. It should also be done entirely at the expense of the Party seeking recall.
The WI voters have made it known loud and clear they ARE FED UP with the process as it know is used and I see how the Dems could mount any sort of an argument which would be accepted by any but a small part of the population sitting on the moon bat Left.
The Senate is out until the House calls it back into session. Simply enough, the House can keep out of session until November where the GOP is likely to gain back the one whole seat due to redistricting.Thanks VanDeKoik.

With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range.
With the same CPU as you find in ultrabooks that cost a lot more, the Dell Inspiron 13z is a budget laptop that holds its head up high.
Pricing not available
With slim 13-inch SSD laptops now well under $1,000, Sony's expensive, high-end Z series laptop is a tough sell, although the long-life slice battery and unique GPU/optical dock help make its case.
The LG Marquee's slim design and jam-packed feature set make it Boost Mobile's flagship phone. But its high price (even without a contract) and slow processor will make it a tough sell.
The RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810 should satisfy BlackBerry fans with its responsive touch screen and overall specs, but for $50 more, T-Mobile customers could get the much better Bold 9900 instead.
The updated Sony VAIO Z1 is still a great choice for the fashion conscious, but slow performance puts it behind the best thin-and-lights.

Here's a link to an article I wrote for the Association of Presbyterian Church Educators (the Advocate). Kind of a summary of what's been going on over the past ten years at NHH.
Engaging God Everywhere
Getting the message out there is one of the biggest challenges our church now faces.
I'm not talking about writing more books, generating more web activity, stimulating more communal outreach or seeking more media attention, I'm talking about planting the unique vision that God has given our church into the whole community.
Deeply. So that it can really grow!
How can we help people engage God everywhere more: at work, in their families, with their friends, at leisure, in the theatre, via nature, through their bodies, when they eat and drink, when they enjoy art, read books, and do all of the things that make up their lives?
Last night I spent two hours meeting with two guys who are big into automotive restoration. On June 12 I'm preaching a vocational sermon on what they do; on how they image God's strip it down, rebuild from the inside out, better than it was before heart. While the topic was fascinating, what I enjoyed most was the interaction, the conversation, the epiphany moments when they'd say one thing and I'd hear another.
Two days ago one of these guys sent me a text telling me how excited he was to learn about how God was at work through the automotive restoration process.
Sitting there last night, on an old Volkswagen van bench seat, in the corner of a garage, that's exactly what happened.
As each of them would talk about what they did and why they did it, I made God connections; naming God's presence at that moment when they first saw a wreck that could be made new, when they made that hard decision to cut into the body to make it better, when they ripped the guts out of the vehicle, when the dreamt about how amazing that car or truck could one day be, when the poured their life into the renewal process, using every bit of creative energy they had, letting it pour from their brains to their hands in a turbocharged kind of way, and then coming up with that new engine, body or component configuration, that new automotive finish, that new frame, level of horse power, way of handling, look, sound, smell and feel.
"Well that's like when God showed the prophet Ezekiel those dry bones… that's what resurrection is all about… that's what God must feel when he makes things new…"
It was an amazing visit.
And it made me wonder if this is the way it needs to happen; getting the vision out there. One on one, personally entering into the lives of community members, meeting them at their work, in their homes, or at the gym, and naming God's presence in their lives right there, on the spot, just in time, via a personal, intimate, intentional, Spirit led conversation.
This happens all the time for me. Last week in a coffee shop with a concerned father ("Well God must feel that for your daughter too… what would it mean to know God as he feels this with you?"), with a judge in his chambers ("I think your decision to give verbal judgments so that you can look people in the eye when you speak to them, and sometimes modify your judgment based on that relational moment, is like a God who incarnates, who looks at us when he judges."), with a PhD scientist talking gut biome, a nurse talking technology, a Wal-Mart greeter, an athlete.
So what if New Hope Hillside spent the next two years investing in people who could do this for others; maybe staff members or key leaders or people who we don't even know yet, individuals who would enter into the lives of others in these kinds of ways.
Who could incarnate.
I feel as though I can see it. A person called to name God at work in moms, others with vocational exegetical gifts, and still others who have the eyes and ears for the arts, community, sport and leisure.
While on one hand, this seems incredibly inefficient, on the other it seems perfect. I've got to think that those two hours with those two guys last night, engaging God in what they are most passionate about, on their turf, in their time, may have more and lasting impact than years of Sunday services, or church classes.
Every person in our community is unique. Would it take this kind of process, this kind of coming along side engagement to get the message across? Is lovingly engaging people where they are at the only way to get close enough to see and name what God uniquely wants them to see?
'Ends of the Earth' (sermon research crowd sourcing)
Next Sunday I'm going to preach on the Lord Huron song, Ends of the Earth, and I thought it might be fun to do a bit of sermon research crowd sourcing.
So, here are a few questions I'm asking about this tune;
- What basic human yearnings does this song give expression to? (i.e. what resonates with you?)
- Are there places where these same yearnings are expressed in the bible?
- How are the yearnings expressed in this song like our yearnings for God?
If you have any thoughts, post them as a comment below. Thanks.
A Science based (next) book
I love how my next science-based book is coming together (Lord willing!)…
- Last night I woke up with the concluding chapter running through my head.
- Two days ago I was talking with a couple of pastors and the introduction presented itself.
- Three weeks ago I bumped into a scientist/orthopedic surgeon who agreed to help me with a chapter of the book (on the biomechanics of the knee).
- Four weeks ago I met with a gut biome researcher who wants to help me with a chapter on the gut (along with his Phd supervisor) and I was connected to another researcher at the university who works in the same field (and was recommended by another friend).
- Five weeks ago I sent a one page proposal for my book to my publisher and there's some interest.
- Six weeks ago I saw a FB post introducing a new John Templeton Grant program. As the concept for a proposal came together I realized that this would be great research for a unique kind of faith/science book.
- Over the past three years I've preached several science based sermons that will now make up specific book chapters.
- Four years ago our church got its first John Templeton Grant which lead to preaching on the topics for three other chapters.
- Seven years ago I was invited to participate in Regent College's John Templeton grant project and the vision to preach/engage God's revelation via science was kindled in me. I wrote a sermon on wound healing back then and it will now form a chapter in this new book.
- Over the past ten years I have been accumulating many books, ideas, and quotes on how God reveals himself via the scientific text. But I wondered, who am I to write on this; there are more than enough scientists of faith to address the topic… until the idea for this new book came along, along with a very cool introduction and conclusion, all founded on three John Templeton grants, and several serendipitous meetings, and scientists that have been a part of our church community, and a publisher who's willing to listen, and a God who has a 'just right' time for everything.

Fort McMurray CBC interview
Here's my CBC interview on the Fort McMurray fire…
Faith in the face of the Fort McMurray Fire
I just left a CBC radio interview on the Fort McMurray fire. When the reporter asked about the role that faith is playing in these catastrophic circumstances, I said that I was seeing faith at work everywhere;
- In the trust that dislodged individuals were showing as they accepted a bottle of water, some gasoline or a tow from total strangers while stuck in gridlocked exodus.
- In the mostly calm obedience of every Fort Mac resident as they followed the directions of civic leaders and emergency response workers.
- In the strength that so many unsettled souls embodied as they were willing to believe all of the tweets and Facebook posts saying, "We're with you… you're not alone… we'll help you through this!"
- In the hope that many displaced residents are now placing in their insurance companies; trusting that their coverage will be good, and that their insurers will come through and make them whole again.
- In people's willingness to be physically taken in by others; to be sheltered, fed and protected by individuals, families, and even oil companies!
- In the town of Fort McMurray's trust in the promises of a province that is trusting in the promises of a federal government that is trusting in the hearts of all Canadian people, to be there over the long haul.
Through all of these supports – all of the compassion and love, the time and energy, the people and organizations willing to 'love their neighbours as they love themselves', and to 'do unto others as they would have them do unto them' – I'm seeing God at work.
Sure, God has been working through a few faith based institutions as well, but I think the biggest moves of God this past week have been made through everyday people, organizations and government agencies, all doing what they were meant to do; all bearing God's image in all of these loving ways.
- God cares about our basic needs – our thirst, hunger, need for gas, and a place to sleep – and he meets these needs.
- God intervenes, protects and gets us to safety. Through firefighters, who do all they can to shield us and selflessly run toward the flames, and through police officers who serve and protect us in the exodus and now watch over our vulnerable neighborhoods, God keeps us.
- God has huge resources; When all of Canada steps in like it has, or Fort Mac residents benefit from all of the insurance premiums we've all paid, we are are reminded of God's communal power, and the huge scope of his love!
- God takes strangers in; the needy, the suffering, those without a home.
- God sees what's happening; like how the world has been watching this past week.
- God's cares about people's stories; like how reporters have been. God gets the news out about the needy, he knows what they've gone though, he names their pain and suffering, and records all of their tears.
So yeah, faith has been expressed and responded to in many beautiful ways this past week, mostly outside of the institution of the church.

A Sermon on Unemployment
Here's Sunday's sermon on Unemployment. Just in time it seems. On Friday a Global TV reporter asked me if we intentionally timed the sermon with the release of the national jobs report. If only we had that much foresight. Then this morning I tweeted the sermon to Nick Purdon – a CBC reporter who just did a great piece on unemployed Albertans last night – and he retweeted it to all of his followers.

Till Life Do Us Part
By Carmen Stefanescu
Publisher: Solstice Publishing
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Magic, Reincarnation, Mystery, Suspense
Release date: 9th June 2016
Barbara Heyer can hear voices of dead people. They whisper of their deaths, seek comfort for those left behind, and occasionally even warn her about future events. But when Barbara's brother, Colin, is accused of murder, it will take more than her gift to prove his innocence.
Becoming smitten with the handsome investigator, Detective Patrick Fischer, is a serious complication given his assignment to her brother's case. Barbara senses there is something far deeper—and perhaps much older—than the surface attraction between them. Could that be why she's visited by a mysterious woman named Emma in her dreams? Could past life regression tie all the seemingly unconnected events together?
Barbara and Patrick must overcome heartache to find the truth to save Colin, and perhaps themselves.
With a determined stroke of her hand, Barbara applied a blob of scarlet paint on the flower, a slender poppy swaying in the breeze in the middle of a yellow wheatfield. She took a step back and admired the effect. It looked perfect in the August sunlight. She'd received an order from the friend of an acquaintance, whose wife loved flowers and owned a greenhouse, and the miniature canvas now completed the set Barbara painted with the theme Seasonal Flowers.
Sighing, she dipped the brush into another small pot of magenta paint and applied her signature at the bottom of her painting.
A whisper came, close behind her. "Beautiful!"
"Oh, Lord!" Barbara cried, as she dropped the paintbrush. Splashes of magenta scattered all over the floor. She turned her head to see the intruder, and to her bewilderment, realized she was alone.
"Colin, is that you? What kind of a joke is this? Are you in here? You're frightening me." She raised her voice to be heard in the front room. No answer. She picked up the paintbrush from the floor.
"Colin." She called louder, a tinge of worry in her voice.
The only answer she received was a giggle coming from behind her. A tingling sensation swept across the back of her neck, and her fingers tightened on the brush. She didn't turn her head again. No use for it. There would be no face in sight.
"Well, well, well. Visitors," she whispered, shaking her head.
My mom took me one day to see a field with poppies. I touched their faces, though I didn't pick them. Mommy said flowers cried when people took them away.
"What do you want from me? Who are you?" she asked, her voice steadier now, though she didn't need to speak aloud to her visitor. Talking in her mind always worked well enough. There would be no harm from the one who spoke to her. A faint greenish light glimmered on top of her canvas.
I'm Alfie. When you see my parents tell them, please, I love them, and tell them not to cry for me anymore. I'm happy here now.
Barbara's eyebrows shot up. Her thoughts asked, Do I know your parents? Who are they?
You painted those flowers for my mother, Sarah. Sarah and Richard Andrews.
My goodness. Yes, indeed. Richard Andrews is the one who ordered these made for his wife. I had no idea her name was Sarah or that she had lost a son.
They did. Me. Alfie. I died last year. I ran for the ball, out of our yard, and a speeding car ran over me. I'm in the spirit world now. Tell them I didn't suffer.
Barbara sighed and put the paintbrush in a small tin beside the canvas. Oh, Alfie, I'm so sorry for you and for your family. It's always heartbreaking for parents to lose their children. I'll tell them what you want. I hope they don't think I'm crazy.
Promise me you'll talk to them right away, please. My mom grieves so much. She thinks it was her fault. She bought me that ball a day before the accident. Tell her not to blame herself.
The small glimmering light, like a fire fly, settled on the small address book near the telephone. It was the only way she could see the spirits contacting her.

Teacher of English and German in her native country and mother of two daughters, Carmen Stefanescu survived the grim years of oppression, by escaping in a parallel world that of the books.
She has dreamed all her life to become a writer, but many of the things she wrote during those years remained just drawer projects. The fall of the Ceausescu's regime in 1989 and the opening of the country to the world meant a new beginning for her. She started publishing. Several of her poems were successfully published in a collection of Contemporary English Poems, Muse Whispers vol.1 and Muse Whispers vol.2 by Midnight Edition Publication, in 2001 and 2002.
Her first novel, Shadows of the Past, was released in 2012 by Wild Child Publishing, USA.

Changes Sought For Water Companies
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 2:55 a.m.
A study panel is recommending that privately owned utilities be penalized for failing to meet state water quality standards.
That was among several proposals in a report Friday by the Study Committee on Investor-owned Water & Wastewater Utility Systems.
The Legislature created the 18-member panel last year.
It recommended a law change so the Florida Public Service Commission can penalize utilities that don't meet water quality requirements set by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
To cut rate case expenses, the panel recommended limits on consultant and attorney fees. It also said utilities should forfeit any unrecovered rate case expenses from prior cases instead of passing them on to customers.

Friday Finds: BPA's Bearded Ladies

The Latest On: Oil
EU moves forward on chemical regs while U.S. gets bearded females
As I write this, members of the House of Representatives continue to debate and move their way through votes on hundreds of amendments to the chamber's government spending bill. The voting and debate has been a marathon process, stretching from morning through late at night for the last three days, and looks to carry on until late tonight or tomorrow.
On Monday, a court in Ecuador told Chevron it owes $8 billion for environmental contamination in the Amazon.
This is Ecuador, where oil companies wield economic power and political influence. Yet, this didn't cloud the court's independent eye when faced with the facts of uncovered toxic waste pits in the pristine Amazon.
House Republicans are using the oft-repeated refrain of "fiscal restraint" as their excuse for gutting several environmental initiatives that will put the public in harm's way. But there simply is no excuse for hacking away at health protections that will leave our air and water dirtier and our children and seniors at risk. It's not hard to see their real agenda.
Teabag by teabag, the anti-environment faction in the House of Representatives has filled its federal government spending bill with amendments that will cripple protections for our water, air, natural resources, wildlife and public health.
USDA gives Big Ag some sugar in GE beet decision
It was nearly midnight, but it wasn't dark. Standing more than a mile away in an illuminated watermelon patch, I could hear its spectacular roar; akin to the release of liquid propane burning off into a hot air balloon. And I could feel it. The searing heat radiated from the blazing column, transforming the landscape into an open-air sauna. I snapped a few photos, hopped back in my car, and navigated through a maze of oil field service roads back to the highway.
