Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
Apologize for the long post ahead of time...
I've been lurking here for years as well as another forum. I have also been going to cars and coffee in MD (church of holy donut and Katie's) for the past 7 years EVERY weekend when I am around.
I am now in the position to buy a vehicle that needs to fill multiple needs. Those needs are
Trackability- I enjoy tracking cars, not dragstrip (never done that, maybe I would), but setting lap times to work on improving. Also, scca and autocross events interest me. There is a lot of opportunity for that where I live with Summit Point and autocross events a few miles from me. I desire a car that has a good combination of toss ability with daily driver ability. I drive a good amount for work but also have an old tsx for long trips or sh1tty city parking days. I plan on keeping the tsx for only these days, or snow.
Community- there is a strong presence of ctsv's at the cars and coffee events, not so much at autocross events and track days. I feel that this community aspect is very important as I like to attend everts and hang out with people with a similar interest or passion.
Livabilty- the vehicle is going to be my primary dd when long trips or city parking in not so hot areas come into play. Is the car a comfortable and reasonable car to live with daily.
I have narrowed my searches to really 3 cars considering the above "wants/needs" , they are
Ctsv- obviously. It checks all boxes except, from what I've read, tossability. When it comes to tossing it into turns during daily driving or at the track, weight and nimbleness are not talked about here.
M3- large community. Good or bad depending on stigma of owning an m3. Great track car. Concern, does the handling outweigh the lack of torque? Reliability? I think I know the answer here. Have also read its a good dd.
G8 gt- large community, great dd. may lack track or autocross dynamics. Would not be so concerned with long trips or city parking as it flys under the radar and gets good mileage considering performance.
I know this is a v forum, but I'm not posting this in the other car forums as I have seen this is the most honest forum. There is bias of course but when there is a reasonable better choice the members here are more likely to recommend the best choice vs. what they own.
In your opinion, which vehicle would provide for the most satisfaction across all my wants/needs?
Great forum, thank you for your input.

Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
The V is definitely a heavy car. Pushes in turns a lot. Eats tires and brakes, I'm talking track tires and brakes.
I track quite a bit. The V is a handful in the corners but very stable. I also learned HOW TO DRIVE the car on track with an instructor driving. Much more fun using his techniques. A heavy car requires different tactics IMO.
Having said all that, I regularly pass M3's at the track but don't see many G8's.... I'm not stock. And I LOVE the V for daily driving.
I guess you know what I think Good luck with your decision.

How about a Benz C63 amg or E63 amg?

Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
Had an M3 and kept it for 9 months.....Presently have a V-Coupe (modded) and have owned it close to 2 yrs.....nuff said!
Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
C63 eliminated due to handling reviews, and c class interior and ride.
E63 i think will have same handling questions, and will have zero community of enthusiasts.
I have thought both of them through though, thank you for the reply. 40-45k budget.

Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
If the social element is important to you, go meet people in the different clubs before you get the car. The dynamic is pretty different depending on the car. I would guess that the M3 crowd would be way younger than the CTS-V crowd, but I could be wrong.

I see it this way:
I test drove an M3 and found the interior to be a very UNspecial place to be. Nothing tugs your heart when you sit in that car. The engine was so so. A touch quicker than my 370Z but not special enough to pull the trigger and change. The V definitely feels special. A very nice blend of luxury and sport. It's not an autocross monster and it is expensive as a track car. I now see it as a highway burner and LOVE it. There is no compromise as a daily driver. It's actually one of the most comfortable cars I've travelled in. Better than two Audis I've previously owned. Realistically for a daily driver, it's better to have a great DD car and a decent autocross car than vice versa. My 370Z was great for autocross and fun to drive. But the road noise and harsh ride wore on me over the years. I couldn't be happier with my V. And again, I found the M3 pretty boring in all respects.
Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
I am going to have to check out some of the social drives for each. This category is probably ranked least,important of the three since both have pretty strong followings.
Local carmax has both m3 and v in stock, going to go there to sit in both. Interiors are important.
Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
There is no larger, single, unified, organized presence at the track events than the V gang of the Cadillac Challenge. It's a family. We paddock together, some of us vacation together, we look after each other. The company we keep is frankly more of what I look forward to than the actual tracking itself. I had an amg and an m3 but there was never any sense of community. I can't speak for where you are, only for the great bunch of owners here in CA and NV, but the V has been by far the best automotive ownership experience (for the reasons and concerns you raised) that I've ever had.
As for ability? I spent a full day at Buttonwillow spanking, and I do mean spanking, two Gt3's and two GTR's, competently driven, alllllll day long. They simply watched me sit pole every run group whole they enjoyed 2-5, haplessly. And at Big Willow, 3 of the top five fastest laps of the weekend were V's. that's against everything from ZR-1's and Vipers, to Porsches and what have you. To be fair, those three are stock, but most of the competition ain't either. ;-) We are serving notice out here.

Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
I am of the opinion, that the V was specifically design, to follow exactly the requirements in the title of your post.
Considering the SRT8 community is also in exactly this position, and the V does everything better other than head room, I would doubt youre going to find a better all around car than the CTS-V2.
The M3 has some nice exterior lines, and I like the look of the 335i coup to begine with. The M3 sedans I just don't car for. The coup just looks so much more sporty and low slung. I considered heavily getting a 335ix coup because I like the looks and wanted AWD. I drove one for an hour, and wasn't impressed. It had higher miles 40k or so, but the interior was falling apart. Mostly though, I felt very confined. After driving an SRT8 for 4 years, it just didn't feel right. I actually ended up buying a 2012 SRT8 300, before ultimately finding my dream V2 coupe a few months later. The 300 was a fantastic car, and the V sort of combines the comfort of a 300 SRT8's interior space, with some of the agility of the 335i. This is how I felt at the time, regardless of what the V really was designed for.
I bought my V without a test drive.....I was blown away on the 500 mile trip home how tame, and how brutal can be simply with the change of buttons and how you want to drive. I still am. I imagine an M6 would also have this sort of feel. The M3 is a bit less refined. I can't imagine it is any more quiet and smooth than the 335, and I wasn't impressed by the ride, smoothness, or inteior road noise in the 335. It felt like a compact race car. The M3 sounds very nice. The 300 SRT 392 sound better than all of the cars IMHO, with the M6 a close second - that V10 sound really sweet!

Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
Good questions. I had an 09 V sedan that I used in much the same way as you describe. Community is also important to me, as I find that a big part of the ownership experience. Unfortunately, I live in a small city that does not have much of an auto enthusiast crowd (excluding modded turbo diesel pickups). Even with that, I was surprised how known and respected the V2 was. Since it is a cousin to Corvette, it seems to be respected by the Corvette clubs and people. I can't speak to the BMW community other than I have done some track days with a BMW club and they seemed to be pretty intense in their cars.
As for DD use, V2 is awesome with one exception - fuel range. It has a small tank that will get you maybe 300 miles if you are driving nicely on the highway. I recall a couple tanks around 200 miles. The MPG is not good, but not all that bad either, it is just the small tank. Refueling every other day is not out of the question if you drive a lot.
On the track, it is heavy and does push a little in turns, but overall a VERY fun and competent track car. It never felt dangerous or out of control to me, even with some power oversteer. The weight is hard on the brakes, and of course tires. This is true with most any car on the track though. The magnetic shocks are truly amazing and do a great job on making the car jekyl and hyde for street/track use.
I have had 2 Z06s (C5 and Z07 C6), and although the Z (especially the Z07) are great track cars, I am strongly considering getting back into a V for all the reasons you described.
Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
Thank you for all the feedback.
Track ability - Since this car is mainly a dd that will have to play many roles, I am realizing that having good performance is good enough. My original hopes of tossing this car around are unrealistic and after hearing all the responses, I don't think I care about that as much now. As someone said it does many things good, where other cars have significant compromises. I am good with that.
Community - I have spoken to a few v owners at the cars and coffee events , seem like a great group. Hopefully I can make it to the donut tomorrow. My USTA team is in the district final at 8am, not sure if I'm on the roster yet.
Live ability- outside of not being able to use the car for what it's capable of every single day, everyone has had great things to say about living with the v everyday.
I keep my cars for as long as they run, currently have tsx with 200k and rdx with 100k. Both my wife and I drive 30k+ a year. My intention would be to keep the v that long as well. after it serves as a dd I'd love to turn it into a track car.
Reliability? Other that rocking recaros, squeaking sunroof, wheel clicking, and marbles in the supercharger is there anything else that may have long term reliability issues?
Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
Tires will have long term reliability issues. So will the "factory" parts when you give in to the Mod Bug.

Re: Track ability, community, livability...is the v still a top choice?
Plus the V is almost invisible to cops. They love to pull over Z and M3 cars. Happened to me in my Nismo but they seem to ignore the V. I've been cruising at 80 in the V and cops just go by with a glance over. In my Z I would have been busted. Cops love to ticket BMW douches.

The reliability mentioned above about marbles, etc is really dependent on how you drive the car, and luck of the draw.
I, believe this car is more than a car, Cadillac, or 4 wheels. It is NOT created to be a daily driver. thats silly to say, given the gas tank is tiny,and atleast mine, doesnt look like you would WANT to drive it daily - its a jet on wheels! just my opinion. I purchased this car because although s550 has it all, this car is it.. And didn't want to lease a Lamborghini (I can't fit in one anyway!) or other any exotic, when this car gives me all the thrills.
V may HAVE to be a daily driver for some folks, is what it is, but I believe the V to be something of a treat to yourself.
Cadillac created this car to say something about the thrill of driving. Its a racecar, not something you take in a parking garage everyday, get your coffee in or eat left jack n box for lunch in the car. some may disagree. but My car was bought as a toy, an experience to be felt everytime I turn her on. The car were talking....but I treat 'her with emotion.
I own a viper, c6 Vette, charger, (sold) 2013 s550 twin turbo, and will say this car is the best in terms of sleekness and $70,000 price tag.
Hope whatever you decide to get, you are happy with.

The state department of education discovered some alarming findings on a recent surprise visit to one of those 21 charter schools, Hope Academy. The first was shocking discrepancies in attendance numbers. Only 27 percent of students were in attendance at the time of the surprise visit. Yet the school was reporting a 99 percent attendance rate.
Academic integrity is also being questioned. State officials say a teacher accepted $700 from a student in exchange for academic credit he hadn't earned.

Imagine if you couldn't read. How would that affect your life? Would you have the same job or have attained the same level of education? What about reading for enjoyment or to be culturally aware of popular books such as Harry Potter? Launceston LINC Manager Garry Conroy- Cooper, LINC Services Coordinator of the Literacy program, Jessica Panday, and one of her students, Scott, joined Belinda in the studio to tell us more about literacy problems faced by many Tasmanians. Scott has dyslexia and ever since he can remember, reading has been difficult and uninspiring, then, about 5 months ago, he started attending the LINC's literacy program. You can listen to Scott's moving and personal journey here.
Such a fantastic story and what an inspiration Scott is, I love his reading list, such interesting books!
I hope others feel the confidence to take that first step hearing this story.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Whole Foods Market ( WFM) surged in after-market trading after the specialty supermarket surprised Wall Street by beating analysts' quarterly earnings estimates. It also announced a two-for-one stock split. The Austin, Texas-based company said that for its fiscal second quarter, which ended on April 14, sales rose 13.3% to $3.03 billion, meeting analysts' expectations. The supermarket reported to the upside with regard to its bottom line. Whole Foods reported quarterly net income of $142 million, or 76 cents a diluted share. Earnings per share rose 19% compared to the prior year's quarter. Analysts on average, according to Thomson Reuters, were expecting the specialty supermarket retailer to post earnings per share of 73 cents. Whole Foods shares ended the day up 1.1% to $92.80. Shares surged in after-hours trading, up 7.5% to $99.75. The company's comparable store sales rose 6.9%, it said. Whole Foods also announced a two-for-one stock split of outstanding common stock to be issued through a stock dividend. Whole Foods shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 17, 2013 will be entitled to the dividend on May 29, 2013 of one additional share of common stock for each share of common stock they own. The stock split will increase the total number of shares of common stock outstanding from approximately 185 million to 370 million, out of the 600 million shares of common stock currently authorized, based on the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of April 14. "The demand for fresh, healthy foods continues to grow, and we are leading the way as America's healthiest grocery store with close to seven million customers visiting our stores each week," John Mackey, Whole Foods' co-founder and co-CEO said in a statement. "We believe we will continue to gain market share as we accelerate our new store openings, improve our relative value proposition while maintaining our high quality standards, and further differentiate our shopping experience." Whole Foods narrowed its guidance for comparable and identical store sales growth for the fiscal year and raised full-year EPS guidance to a range to $2.86 to $2.89. The company now expects sales growth between 12% and 14% and diluted earnings per share growth between 15% and 17%. The company also expects a "significant year-over-over increase in pre-opening and relocation expense" in the fourth quarter based on the opening of 12 new stores along with a high number of openings in the first quarter of 2014. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

Arsenal's defence can be their foundation for success this season, according to Per Mertesacker.
The Germany international returned to the heart of Arsène Wenger's back four on Saturday and helped guide Arsenal to a 3-1 win over West Ham United.
Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla got the goals but Mertesacker and his fellow defenders dealt expertly with Andy Carroll as the home side exerted pressure.
"We could feel in the air it was going to be a tough game," said Mertesacker. "We had to fight a lot, especially in the second half when the crowd became West Ham they had a good advantage.
"But we came back into the game on the counter-attack and afterwards we played well, especially defensively. We won more and more headers which was vital.
"It [our defending] can be the difference, it is crucial for us that the defence is winning more games. We just try to keep that in our mind the whole year."
Arsenal's win at Upton Park was all the more impressive after they fell behind to Mohamed Diame's fine first-half finish.
"What can you do about their goal? Sometimes that happens," said Mertesacker. "We have not conceded a lot of goals during games this year and most have been from set-pieces. We just need to keep concentrating on our defensive level.
"We needed to win to bounce back after the defeat against Chelsea. It's always good to win in front of an international break. We have good confidence and showed that especially when it was tough in the second half.
"West Ham had a few chances but we didn't let ourselves down. We kept our chins up and we have unbelievable quality on the bench which made the difference."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Bottom line, we've done our work, we've contributed more to paintball than 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the people who play it. We're allowed a little break every now and then. Paintball has been here for 30 years, it's not going anywhere if we stop making videos for a little while. It's a hobby, and like all hobbies, you can get sick of it if you do it too much. So what do you do? Go do something else for a little bit, then come back!
The best way to truly enjoy paintball, is to play it when you want, don't when you don't

Thanks for sharing and for all of your (everyone's - this includes the patience and support of associated members' families) dedication and hard work toward this subject and contributions - still nice to have some sort of an idea or an update once in a few months regardless. If it is paintball related or not does not matter much anyway.
As for myself, I have been tied up with going to school for a little while now and am making steady progress. It's just taking me longer than I thought it would before I will be finishing it. I plan to get back into paintball some this year and next year though. I have been going maybe %45 school and %45 family, and maybe %8 research outside of school into a possible side business to help things get by and then %2 me... or maybe %1. I hope to change that to getting back into playing paintball every once in a while.
Gordon... 25 mins 5K is a great time! I'm a terrible runner and would be happy to break the 30 minute barrier! I think my best time might have been somewhere around 33 to 36 minutes - can't remember because it's been a little while since I ran a 5K event.
(I'm more into cycling as I commute at least 12 miles every day by bicycle and many days it's more than that as I go to as many places by bicycle as I can. Then on the weekends I do 20-60 mile rides -some with major elevation gain.) It might take me longer to get to destinations but I am saving a lot of money doing things this way and hopefully it's healthier for me too as I don't get much if any other exercise as my time is very limited.

My HD crashed and I lost win 7 replacement discs. Is there any generic version of Win7 I can use? Thank You – Charlie
Microsoft is aware that many people are in the same boat with Windows 7 and may have lost (or never received) an installation disk. Thankfully, if you have access to a friend's PC and a blank DVD you can burn a new copy of a Windows 7 installation disk by downloading the ISO image of the disk and burning it using an ISO burning program. I would recommend CDBurnerXP [1] if you're creating the disk in Windows XP/Vista, or if you have Windows 7 you can right click the ISO file and use the Windows ISO Burner, which is built into Windows 7.
You can download the ISO files below. I would recommend reinstalling the 64bit version, unless you're using specific (older) software you know will only work on 32bit versions of Windows 7.
- Windows 7 Home Premium 32Bit [2]
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit [2]
- Windows 7 Professional 32Bit [2]
- Windows 7 Professional 64bit [2]
Keep in mind, however, that you will still need your activation key for Windows 7, which is usually found on the side or rear panel on a sticker like the one pictured below. It may also be in the original literature you received with your computer and say Windows 7 key code or Windows 7 product key.
Hope this helps!

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger believes he is a stronger man and a better manager for suffering adversity during his career.
The manager has endured a testing start to the new season but his Arsenal team are fresh from a vital win in the Premier League and will look to extend their unbeaten start to the Champions League Group Stage when they face Marseille on Wednesday night.
The French side were Wenger's closest rivals when he was in charge at Monaco from 1987 to 1994 and a return to the Stade Velodrome prompted questions about the highs and lows of his long managerial career. The Arsenal boss has learned from both.
"A career in management prepares you to fight against adversity," he said. "That is for sure.
"When a young manager asks me for advice all you can say is 'survive disappointments' because that's all you can say. You cannot imagine a career of any manager without disappointment. At the end of the day, it is that.
"It makes you stronger or you get out of the job. It is as simple as that. What helps you is that you believe in your passion and mental strength."
Wenger secured the title in his first full season at Monaco - as he did at Arsenal - plus the Coupe de France twice. Marseille were found guilty of improper behaviour during Wenger's tenure but he insists that a return to the south of France does not stir bad memories.
"That is over now because the owners are not the same," he said. "Now it is completely different. Football has changed in France. I don't think there is any need any more to speak about this period because it was not the happiest period of French football.
"I'm happy to go to back to Marseille because it gives me memories of passionate games. Of course since I was there times have changes. It's good, I love Marseille as a city. It is a real football city. I'm happy to go back there."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'February 2010' started by roscoe36, Nov 3, 2009.
You're not crazy. I don't like BDiddy, but he is a helluva ball player when he wants to be.
It was dumb because he should have passed out of it, not because attacking the rim late in the game is dumb. You have to be aggressive and force the issue. I've always believed in that mentality. I'll take that any day over settling for long, contested jump shots. Hamilton made some threes, but that is not his strength, especially late in games when they are going to be tightly contested. I'm glad that that's not what the Pistons were looking for on the final possession because that's stupid. Put Gordon out there if you're going to play for threes. And I'd really like to know where this Baron Davis love is coming from. The guy didn't kill us like some people would like you to believe. He had an Okay game, but Gooden and Kaman were the killers. Our frontcourt had no answer for either guy.
Our frontcourt seldom has answers for anybody elses front court, but add three point threat Butler to this comment as we did not answer for him in the end either. Gooden was a good pickup. If he sticks around the Clippers will have a nice front court next season Kaman, Gooden, Griffin, Deandre Jordan, Outlaw and Craig Smith.
Dre, thanks for the photos and recap. Do you go to the Clips/Pistons game every year down in LA? What about any Pistons/Lakers game.
Yes I have gone to all of the Clippers-Pistons games for the past 9 years and three or four games during the teal 90's. I have swallowed the cost and been to a few Laker games, but last Piston-Laker game I attended was in 1988 when they beat us in game 6 of the 1988 finals....I refused to go to game 7 knowing that the fix was in....and sure enough we know the outcome. I watched the 1989 sweep of the Lakers on TV and watched the 2004 five game sweep of the Lakers on TV

Same-Sex Ceremony on Military Base Sparks Outrage
A same-sex ceremony between a lesbian couple in the base chapel at Fort Polk in Louisiana has created a storm of controversy among conservative religious leaders and a growing number of lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
"The liberal social experiment with our military continues," Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) told Fox News Radio. "A same-sex marriage-like ceremony should not have occurred at Fort Polk, especially since the people of Louisiana have made it abundantly clear that our state does not recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions."
Fort Polk is in Fleming's congressional district. The Fort Polk Public Affairs Office and the Army did not return numerous calls seeking comment.
The ceremony was conducted about three weeks ago by a chaplain for the Disciples of Christ, according to Ron Crews, executive director for the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
"It was kept quiet," Crews told Fox News Radio. He said the service was conducted in the military chapel, under the authorization of the chaplain's denomination.
So if the same-sex ceremony was approved by the military – why the outrage?
"It raises the issue that Louisiana is a state that has a clear definition of marriage," Crews said. "By allowing this on military installations, this means that chaplains in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq could conduct same sex ceremonies like this. How will this look to our coalition partners who do not approve of same sex unions?"
Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) authored legislation that would prohibit same sex ceremonies on any military base. The House approved the bill but the Senate has yet to take action. Akin told Fox News Radio that it doesn't matter what you call it – what happened at Fort Polk was a gay marriage.
"It's outrageous and illegal," he said. "This appears to be a case where political agenda has trumped the rule of law, which is absolutely unacceptable."
Akin, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, is questioning the legality of the ceremony on the Defense of Marriage Act, which was recently overturned. However, last years the Defense Dept. gave permission for same-sex unions to be held on military installations.
He accused the Obama administration of "trying to drive their liberal and gay agenda through the military."
"The federal law specifically prohibits this and even the advocates of going to same sex marriage in the military said they were not planning to do this. In every regard this is over the top," he said. "In every regard this is over the top but I think it reflects the general direction that Obama and the liberal Senate want to take things."
But a spokesman for American Veterans For Equal Rights, said gay and lesbian military personnel deserve the same rights afforded heterosexual troops.
"Considering that most Americans go about their daily lives and haven't lifted a finger to defend freedom, I think the least this country can do is give equal benefits and equal rights to those who are serving their country," Denny Meyer, the group's public affairs officer told Fox News Radio.
He accused lawmakers like Akin and Fleming of "fomenting" hatred towards gay troops.
"They should be ashamed of themselves to try and deny the basic rights that any American has," Meyer said. "The people opposed are using the military to foment hate and bigotry and divisiveness in America."
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) accused the Dept. of Defense of lying to the American people.
"This happened despite last year's assurances from the Department of Defense that state law recognized only traditional marriage would be respected and upheld," Huelskamp said in a statement. "They clearly lied."
Fleming said the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has made incidents "like this inevitable."
"My frustration is compounded by the fact that a social agenda, which has nothing to do with military readiness or our national defense, is being imposed on our men and women in uniform," Fleming said. "This appears to be a promotion of an agenda utilizing military facilities. We don't envision the purpose of the military to be a test tube for social changes in this country."
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, a Marine Corps veteran and former Louisiana legislator, said the ceremony was a clear violation of DOMA and accused the Obama administration of trying to toss "aside the marriage laws of forty-four states."
"This ceremony at Fort Polk is further evidence that Congress must act to reinforce the Defense of Marriage Act, and make very clear that the military should not be exploited to advance this administration's social agenda," Perkins said.
Kelly Boggs, a spokesman for the Louisiana Baptist Convention, called the ceremony "troubling."
"That military base is located in a state that has registered strong opposition to same sex marriage," Boggs told Fox News Radio. "It seems like it could be a tacit endorsement by the military of same sex unions."
Crews said the solution is for the U.S. Senate to pass the House bill banning such ceremonies. Until that happens, he said all military facilities, including chapels will be "sexual orientation neutral."

Find Out More About the Claims Process
You're in Charge. It's Easy to Switch
We Keep You Informed Throughout Your Case
This week's news that a 92-year-old man fell into the gap while exiting a train at the Great Neck Long Island Rail Road Station is a reminder of the dangers those wide gaps between the train and platforms pose to riders.
A scathing Newsday investigation back in 2006–spurred by the death of 18-year-old Natalie Smead at the Woodside Long Island Rail Road station–found that about 38 percent of station platforms had dangerous gaps and that LIRR, its parent agency and state and federal oversight officials had done little to address a problem that had injured hundreds of riders.
As a result of Newsday's report, the LIRR began a "gap remediation" project that is expected to be finished in 2012 and will leave a maximum of 5 inches between the train and the station platform.
Here are some ways to ensure you and your family are safe when boarding or exiting a train:

Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks….I respect the expertise of your company which is why I have no problem with referring cases to your firm. My hope and prayer for this New Year is that you receive so many cases that you cannot accept them all and have to refer some out, in other words, your cup runneth over.
I have used [Neal and Bob] for a personal case and they were completely professional, answered my questions whenever I called, and made what I thought was a very good settlement for me. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Since then if I ever have a law question I can call them and they answer it as best they could without ever charging me. Now that is service.
The most caring and on the ball attorneys I have ever met.
The attorneys at Goldstein and Bashner are wonderful. Not only are they at the top of their field, but they truly care about their clients. I was in a terrible car accident that resulted in several complex injuries including a broken hand, herniated discs, knee problems and complex regional pain syndrome. Some attorneys are not experienced in dealing with CRPS, but they were. They also knew how to handle an aggravated injury. In the beginning I was unable to drive to their office, so Bob came to me. Bob is a great guy and will explain the process with a clear path. Although it was a long road due to my own going pain and the other side stalling, my case did settle. I was never pushed into taking anything I was not comfortable with. Also, more and more people have ERISA based health plans and the team of attorneys fought hard to have my Erisa lien reduced. This in itself is no easy feat. I would highly recommend Goldstein and Bashner to handle your case if you become injured in an accident
I feel in my heart that Neal Goldstein saved my son's life.
Bob and Neal were excellent to work with. My case was particularly complicated by the fact that there were multiple defendants involved. Bob and Neal stuck with it through the lengthy negotiations and prevailed. Thank you Bob and Neal and all of your staff!
Now that André finished his physical therapy I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your professionalism, help, expertise and cooperation. It meant so much that when we were scared, we felt at ease knowing that you were watching diligently over our case.
Great law firm .everyone that works there is very nice .they help you understand your case.they will fight for you all the way to the end of the case ..they made sure i was happy.
It was an honor having the gentlemen of Goldstein & Bashner handling my case. I was in a car accident last year and hurt many parts of my body. I felt like there was no one to help me at all until I called Mr. Bashner's office. They always treated me like the number 1 client and settled my case without any problems! Everyone in their office was so nice to me and my family, every time I went in I felt like I was at home. They made me comfortable and helped me understand what was going on. Patty was the most helpful person I've worked with, she is very sweet and will always answer your questions no matter how many times you call! Everyone there is now my friend and I would recommend them to anyone who needs help
I can not say enough nice things about Mr Neal Goldstein and his legal team. They worked very hard to get me a settlement and helped me every step of the way. I would recommend them to anyone! Very easy to talk to, down to earth guys. You won't be disappointed by choosing them.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all the hard work, hours and yeses you put into my case and believed in me. Your professionalism, dedication, efforts and patience is much appreciated. I am so happy I chose you as my lawyer. I knew the very first day I met you in NYC that I chose the best lawyer to help me.
This was my first law suit ever. I was injured during super storm sandy. I randomly selected Goldstein & Bashner's law firm to represent me. It was the best randomly selected choice I have ever made. Mr. Goldstein was my representative. He and his staff are courteous and professional and know their stuff. I was recently given a substantial settlement for my injuries. I would recommend them for any personal injury case, and their other specialties, as well. They are smart and very caring people.
Our client went to a popular nightclub in Island Park with a group of her friends. She was looking forward to a carefree night of dancing with her friends. Unfortunately, while dancing she slipped and fell on a spilled beer and ended her night in the emergency room at South Nassau Community Hospital.
Our investigation, which included witness testimony and pictures, helped us gather proof that the beer was on the dance floor for at least an hour before she fell. The client had a very bad broken ankle which required surgery and extensive physical therapy.
We were able to successfully resolve her claims at a mediation. She was very happy with the generous compensation we were able to get to cover her medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.
In this railroad claim, our 39 year old client slipped and fell in a rail yard that was unkept and leaking water had frozen over. He sustained injuries to his knee. We were successful in obtaining a resolution for the client, after providing evidence of the conditions of the yard that the railroad should have cleaned and repaired the leak.
In this case, we acted as a co-counsel for a client who had a very serious accident in San Francisco. At the time of the accident he was attempting to descend from a scaffold and fell from a significant height. Unfortunately, the client who is married and had two children suffered significant brain damage. Prior to the case going to trial there was a twelve hour mediation which resulted in a settlement for the client and his family that paid the client and his family necessary monies over his lifetime.
In this railroad case, a 39 year old Long Island Railroad lineman sustained severe burns after he cut energized cables as part of a demolition and modification of a substation. Our office had evidence that the foreman did not take the appropriate actions in making sure that all the cables were de-energized prior to anybody cutting. As a result of the explosion the client received third degree burns to his upper extremities as well as back injuries. Although the client should have preformed his own tests before cutting the cables and has since resumed work full time we were able to resolve his case to his satisfaction.
In this case, our client was a 40 year old Long Island Railroad lineman who fell from a communication pole he was working on. Our office claimed that the Long Island Railroad should have used a bucket truck for the client which would have prevented the accident. The client injured his back and had surgical injections to alleviate the pain from his herniated discs. The client went back to work and the case settled during trial to the client's satisfaction.
Our client was coming off the ramp of the Triboro Bridge (now known as the Robert Kennedy Bridge) in Astoria when another car went through a stop sign. Our client, a sanitation worker tried to avoid the accident but was struck by the other vehicle and then lost control and slammed his sanitation truck into the side of a building. He damaged several of his fingers which required surgery. We were successful in obtaining the full insurance policy limits of the other vehicle.
Our client was a patient of a dental clinic in Brooklyn. On the date of the accident she was about to be seated in the dental chair when the arm collapsed and she fell out of the chair. We were able to show through the deposition of former employees that complaints were made, to the owners of the dental clinic, to fix the chair in question. The client sustained lower back injuries that resulted in back surgery. We were able to get a significant sum of money for the client. Of importance is that the moneys were paid directly from the owner of the clinic as there was no insurance.
In this case, we represented a 46 year old railroad employee who was trapped in an escalator motor pit. Our office was able to show that the door to the pit was improper. The door should have been easy to open and close. The door in question got stuck and it was jammed shut. The railroad had already replaced some of the doors but not where the client was working. The client was injured in his attempt to free himself from the dark and hot pit. He claimed back injuries with some surgical procedures. We were successful in obtaining a resolution for the client, even though he went back to work full time.
Our client was a vibrant seventy year old working for the County of Nassau. While getting off the elevator she tripped and fell as it misleveled. She was brought to the emergency room with a very bad broken shoulder. In fact there would have been surgery had it not been for her age and other non-related health issues. As a result of the injury she could no longer work and the evidence would have pointed to an employee who would have worked another five years. Indeed she had worked for almost forty years without many absences. The parties agreed to a six figure settlement which was to everybody's satisfaction. We believe that had the case gone to trial there would have been evidence that this elevator, which had been around a very, very long time had numerous problems. Although the client was older the insurance company settled, we believe, because of the evidence that would have been presented at trial.
In this case, our client who was 39 years old at the time slipped and fell on an oil spill at a major construction site in Brooklyn. Through the testimony of several witnesses, we were prepared to show at trial that the spill was there for an extended period of time. We were able to resolve this case for a significant amount of money even though the client has a back injury which did not require surgery and he had a previous accident where his back was injured.
Our client was a 58 year female who was struck after the defendant , a 20 year old college student from Woodbury Long Island, ran a red light and struck our client's vehicle. Client's car was totaled and she was brought to Nassau County Medical Center in East Meadow. She was in Intensive Care for about one week with a fractured hip, fractured ribs and a transverse process fracture. She remained in the hospital for about ten days and then was under the care of private physicians. Depositions were taken of all parties and the defendant acknowledged that he may have passed the red light. The defendant also testified that he did not recall the name of the streets where the accident occured. It is because the testimnony of the defendant was weak that we were able to secure a six figure settlement for our client who is now back to work as a teacher.
Our client was a 47 year old school teacher from Holbrook, New York when she was rear ended by another vehicle on Route 112 in Brookhaven. As a result from the accident she sustained lumbar and cervical herniations which resulted in her getting epidural steroid injections. Prior to the settlement she underwent a fusion because of the severity of her injuries. The plaintiff was unable to take time off from work which complicated her rehabilitation. We were able to obtain a six figure settlement for the client which was due in part to our persistent in negotiation with the insurance company.
This case was a big triumph for our client after Allstate tried to play hardball tactics that backfired in court.
Our client, a 58-year-old self-employed mother, was a passenger in a car going straight through a green light when it was hit by vehicle making a left turn in front of them. She suffered a fractured wrist that required surgery. Her injury and discomfort was exacerbated by a recent diagnosis of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (now called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome), a rare disorder that is characterized by chronic, severe pain.
Allstate refused to offer any money on the case until three months before trial, at which time a low five figure offer was made. We felt this offer was unreasonably low. We believed the circumstances had a minimum six figure value.
It was not until the middle of the trial that the attorneys representing the other vehicle and on the directions of Allstate raised the offer to a mid-five-figure number. The accident victim, in an effort to stop the trauma of the trial, lowered her demand to a high five figure settlement. At this time Allstate shockingly withdrew its offer completely. The case therefore went to the jury and after several hours of deliberation returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Allstate settled the case immediately for a six figure settlement. Our client was thrilled.
Our client, a motercyclist, while riding on Montauk Highway in Suffolk County, was injured when the offending vehicle made a left hand turn in front of our client. The client's motorcycle was struck causing him to be thrown from his cycle onto the ground. Our client 28 at the time fractured his wrists, hand, pelvis, knee, leg and had multiple surgeries. If you looked at his x-ray you would see that metal pins were holding him together. Unfortunately, the owner of the offending vehicle had a limited policy (that generally means limited funds from the policy). Clearly we could not accept that and we prepared the case for trial. Many lawyers would have advised their client to take the policy and suffer the loss. We felt our obligation to the client and to get justly compensation. In the end the owners of the vehicle paid, out of their pocket, an enormous amount of money. In fact, the Judge of the case said he did not remember another case where so much money was personally paid from the defendants. This occurred because of our tenacity and unwillingness to abandon the client and take the "easy" way out.
Our client was leaving her friend's house when she fell over a concrete platform and steps which were abutting the side entrance door. There were no rails. We were able to show through our expert engineer that the steps were not in compliance with the New York City Building Code. The client fractured her arm with required surgery. We were able to successfully resolve her case because of the evidence we obtained.
Our client, a female student who was a minor at the time of the accident, won close to a 7-figure settlement from a well-known seaford bar and restaurant in Deer Park. She was traveling westbound on Grand Blvd. in Deer Park when an eastbound car driven by a drunken driver drifted into her lane. She suffered numerous fractures that required surgery as well as 2 rods and plating.Although the driver of the operating vehicle was negligent, we were also able to establish that the restaurant that served him alcohol was also partially negligent.The key to the settlement was video surveillance we obtained that showed the restaurant's bartender continuing to provide drinks to the driver after he was drunk.
By showing that the Budget Rent-a-Car had created a hazard for the safety of the neighbors by using the sidewalk to move its trucks, we were able to help our client collect a sizable settlement for the serious injuries our client suffered.

Our lawyers believed this client had a strong case and serious injuries as a result of the church's negligence. We appealed the decision and, with the help of our engineers, we were able to show that the sidewalk defect was a "substantial defect." We also had our client testify that the condition had been present for a period of time, and we provided photographic evidence that demonstrated the defect was visible. She won and was thrilled to receive the compensation to help pay her bills and recover without the added financial stress.
Her specific injuries included:
As a new mom, our client did not want to go through a long trial. Our lawyers worked quickly and thoroughly to establish the details of the accident and determine her injury costs, including lost wages, future medical costs and pain and suffering. She was thrilled with the 6-figure settlement, which she hopes to partially invest in her new baby's future.
We worked diligently with experts to provide detailed reports and photographs that helped us prove the door was defective. This allowed our lawyers to resolve the case to our client's advantage at mediation, and our evidence enabled her to settle for a 6-figure award that she greatly appreciated.

This elevator door is extremely heavy and was not secure. After several minutes of holding the door, our client felt a shift and then the door came slamming down on him, aggravating a preexisting condition to his back. Our client was severely injured and will not be able to ever return to this job.
Our lawyers were able to show that his injuries were due to the negligence of the elevator company brought in to fix the elevator. We showed that they failed to bring in enough manpower to complete the job, did not provide proper supervision and safety measures, did not provide proper training and failed to keep the area safe for others. We were also able to show that our client's injuries seriously limited his activities and negatively affected his quality of life, which allowed him to collect a significant payment to compensate for his difficulties.

In addition, the boy kept a journal he wrote for an English class in which he mentioned the bullying and how it made him feel. The teacher's only comment was "I'm sorry you went through this."
By collecting all the communications with the school over a three-year period, the medical records and journal entries, we made a strong case that the school's staff and administrators did not do enough to protect our client and put a stop to the bullying. We were able to settle with the district for a confidential amount, but our client was very happy with the results.
This case illustrates how it is possible to get compensation for bullying from a school and we hope it inspires other families to know they have recourse.
Noted partner attorney Robert Bashner, "His medical history made his recovery time longer and caused added pain and suffering. We were able to get him a sizable settlement." He was very satisfied with the results of his case and is thankfully making a full recovery."
Our construction site injury lawyers were were able to show that labor laws were violated. There were several safety issues. Our client should have had another worker with him for this job. In addition, there was too much concrete on the forklift and the pellets were not properly secured.
Said partner Neal Goldstein "Our client has been out of work and confined to his bed. We fought and got him a settlement that would help take care of his living expenses and family while he recovered."
Luckily our client survived, but he suffered multiple skull fractures as well as multiple fractures and lacerations throughout his body. The young boy continues to suffer–he is in pain and has trouble with prolonged sitting, standing, walking, climbing stairs and other daily activities most kids take for granted. He will never fully recover and will require extensive therapy and special education.
In addition, his young sister was in the "zone of danger," which means she was close enough to him to see the accident and has been traumatized.
In addition to getting a sizable settlement for the boy, our accident lawyers were also able to get money for the sister for the trauma she suffered.
Our client was extremely happy with the outcome and wrote us a note, "From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all the hard work, hours and years you put into my case and believed in me. Your professionalism, dedication, efforts and patience are much appreciated. I am so happy I chose you as my lawyer."

I would need smaller. Thanks though. Also, the nearest Hobby Lobby is 2 hours away. :(
I love Outdoor Christmas Lights!!
My decorating efforts so far this year! (Click any picture to see it larger.)
Currently still using 4' tree, as small furry beast (aka the cat) accidentally destroyed 6.5' tree not long after it was taken out of the box (she looked just as surprised as I was when the branch snapped off. )
Cookie jar and trinket box. Cookie jar was a present from my dad because he knows how much I LOVE penguins, trinket box was my mother's.
Angel tealight candle holder, best Goodwill find ever.
The angel sitting on top of the TV was the angel that was on the top of the tree every year when I was growing up.
Small furry beast has found a new place to hide and attack the dog.
Stockings! (One for myself and the fiance, as well as one for the dog and cat!)

I don't think the walls are sponged. They look like they were textued or something at one point. I'm not entirely sure what they did, we live in an apartment.

This year will be my SEVENTH Christmas with the company I work for. We've always been in the same building - but something MAGICAL happened this year - they decorated the lobby for Christmas. (in the past they put up a wreath or garland, but nothing like this) I thought I'd share.
I think that tree is as tall as Mike's

Well, after a couple of sleepless nights, I think that is enough for me. The last big investment that got 'wallmarted' has pushed me over the edge.
I really want to make a really nice rubber knee. The proceeds will of course go to Pam and Chris (FP). He, they, deserve it. They are a couple of really great and upstanding people. As soon as I get the final pulls from chris, get the alum knee darts so that I can drill the appropriate holes, ill finish up the second mold and this is under way.
That being said, I think this will be it for me as far as creating things here on the TDH. This place is full of some of the most talented people making costumes anywhere. Many are extremely helpfull, and great people to deal with.
I have only done three projects here, that I have offered to the public. I was planning a fourth after the knees. Unfortunately every project I have decided to enter into fate has really gone against me. Each and every project I started someone has purposefully trumped me. (EDIT: I can not say purposefully for every project. Poor choice of words. ).
I have been very careful in the way I approached projects. Announcing my intentions, recognizing other projects and products that are similar and or better. Trying only to fulfill a need.
I am going to run out the remainder of my resins/foams into parts and offer them up. Anything that is not gobbled up here, ill post on ebay.
My earcap molds, v1 foam molds are all up for sale if anyone wants them. The knee molds will not be up for sale. FP has allowed me to use them and it is not my place to give that permission to anyone else.
A big thanks to anyone that supported my stuff. From the heart.
I will post followups on the knees as soon as I can get with chris.

New monitoring of Waterloo Wind Farm
31/01/2013 , 6:16 PM by Ivy Bateman
The EPA will begin monitoring of low frequency noise around the Waterloo Wind Farm in the Mid North of South Australia later this year.
That's according to the Director of Science and Assessment with the Environment Protection Authority Peter Dolan.
He told the ABC's Annette Marner that monitoring would begin in April.
He was on air following discussions that took place between himself, the EPA's Chief Executive Campbell Gemmel, Clare & Gilbert Valley Council representatives and residents earlier today.
Also in the Clare Valley today approximately fifty people attended a public meeting with Associate Professor Dr Con Doolan of Adelaide University to hear about his research on infrasound levels in homes a few kilometres away from the turbines.
That's according to advocate Mary Morris who attended both meetings and says some local people don't want the Waterloo Wind farm to be extended.
Turbines are present about thirty kilometres from Clare and more are planned.

Cleveland • New Indians manager Terry Francona said he got lost making a two-block walk to Progressive Field for the home opener.
Francona, who is living in downtown Cleveland during the season, was thankful there were people on the streets Monday morning "because I got lost three times." Francona joked that he doesn't have a good sense of direction and was glad someone finally picked him up in a golf cart and got him to the ballpark.
Boston's manager for eight seasons, Francona said "Cleveland is officially the nicest people I've ever met. Everybody I did walk by said, 'Hello.' That's a little different than I'm used to."
Francona said he was looking forward to catching a ceremonial first pitch from his father, Tito, who played outfield for the Indians from 1959-64.

Arsène Wenger admits that the transfer market is starting to hot up for Arsenal - but insists it will not affect his side's Premier League run-in.
Arsenal have been linked with a host of players in recent weeks, but with seven games remaining their first priority is securing Champions League football for next season.
Wenger is acutely aware that he cannot let anything derail his side and believes his players will retain their focus.
"Things are starting now [in terms of transfers]," he told Arsenal Player.
"At the moment we are so focused on finishing the season well, though, because what we have done over the past two months is absolutely exceptional.
"It would be stupid not to finish the job now because we have put ourselves back in a strong position. To finish the season well demands a complete focus on our performances and that is what will do.
"We will prepare for next season and the credit we will get for this season will depend on how we finish."

A few of last night's fireworks weren't unlike the sound a thousand clapping hands make when they're honoring U.S. veterans, especially the ones with the hundreds of exploding crackers. Toward the end of the 30-40 minute display the rapid bangs and pops even reminded me of clapping and cheering.
It was a sight to behold. I just hope some veterans saw it. The night was mild and clear with a light breeze. Warmer than expected for November. The fireworks followed a patriotic program inside North's fieldhouse that welcomed many dignitaries, veterans and enlisted men and women. Also, flag bearers and a too-sparse crowd of about 200-300 civilians listened to a few great speeches and roughly an hour of blues by Navy band Great Lakes Horizon. This was a big production for North's Booster Club and was sponsored by 14 local and national businesses and produced by Waukesha's Park, Rec and Forestry Dept.
As Waukesha's 4th of July fireworks display was cut short due to grass fires, last night's display borrowed unused funds from that to make these extra special.
I don't think I could've had a better view. Take a look at the video and notice how rapidly the sound follows the explosion. I was right underneath them! Also, listen to the echoes bouncing off Lowell Hill. It's an effect we don't get as much of over at the Expo Center grounds. The Fourth fireworks used to be held at Lowell, though you can still catch smaller fireworks there during the Janboree.
2012 is the Wisconsin Year of the Veteran. Yesterday was the 237th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corp. and tomorrow Veterans Day is celebrated. If you love your freedom, thank a vet. If you don't see any veterans Monday you can still show you care . . . through a blood donation. Thanks.


text: Reading all this stuff is just bumming me out. Knight's played all of 38 nba games. I love watching him snag boards from a pack of pistons forwards. I love it that when he contests the opposing center at the rim, he's expecting to stuff that guy. He's a competitor. He's young and has the work ethic to improve. These things take time and i think he'll be worth the wait. I'll be back around draft time. As horrible as this team is, i want to enjoy watching its development without getting all emo about it.

Aloha! I was in Honolulu in '98 for my honeymoon. Beautiful place.
Guns are like shoes. One size does not fit all and what is comfortable for one person is not for another. The simplest thing to tell you is get a gun that feels comfortable in your hand and that you can shoot well. Ammo for the 9mm is cheaper than .45, so that may be a consideration; you can afford to shoot more. Other than that, I say rent a bunch of guns and go with what you like.

Batman vs. Superman director Zack Snyder tweeted a first look at Ben Affleck as Batman on Tuesday, a day after teasing with another black-and-white photo of the Batmobile. Though he promised then to pull the veil off Bruce Wayne's supercar today, the emergence of Affleck was a surprise.
First impressions: Though he's a bit obscured, Affleck looks every bit the aging, world-weary Caped Crusader we were promised when the project was announced.
The suit itself departs from the militaristic/tactical armor that Christian Bale wore in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy; instead, Snyder returns to the natural pects-and-abs look that Tim Burton went with for Michael Keaton in '89 (yet steers clear of the infamous "bat nipples" for which George Clooney still makes fun of himself).
As for the Batmobile itself, the closed canopy pod and swooping front end also looks more like Burton's '89 Batmobile hotrod than any of the other iterations.
It's all well and good until an alien from Krypton starts punching on May 6, 2016. We'll see how that goes.
