Morrow, Ga. - The Brevard women's basketball team took the floor with the nationally ranked Clayton State Lakers on Saturday evening as they fell 80-66. Despite having four players score in double-figures the Tornados were unable to keep the Lakers at-bay, as they shot 44.8% from the field on Saturday evening. Brevard falls to 0-2 on the season after the loss.
BC was able to shoot 50% from the field but was unable to top the Lakers in Morrow, Ga. Holli Flippo (Kingston Springs, Tenn.) led the way for Brevard with 14 points as she went 6-for-13 from the field. Candice Fritz (North East, MD.) and Lindsay Brendle (High Point, N.C.) continued to display an offensive presence by scoring 12 and 11 points respectively on the night. Micheala Watkins (Forest City, N.C.) was also able to put up double-digit points off the bench on Saturday.
The Tornados were able to stick with Clayton State early in the first half by taking an 8-4 lead in the first four minutes of play. However, the Lakers would take over going on a 16-0 run in the following six minutes of play. With 9:19 remaining Clayton State was leading Brevard 25-10. The Tornados fell behind as many as 20 in the first half, but were able to climb within 16 as they head into half-time.
The Tornados came out flying in the second half and outscored the Lakers 14-4 in the first five minutes of play in the half. Brevard was able to come within four points when Micheala Watkins drove and hit a layup at the 11:13 mark making the score 56-52 in favor of Clayton State. The Lakers hit a free throw to take a five point lead, but Flippo was able to return-fire with a layup of her own brining the Tornados within three points.
Tanisha Woodard of Clayton State hit a three-pointer next time down to floor to give the Lakers a six point lead, but Flippo was undeterred as she came down the next possession and hit a three of her own bringing Brevard back within three.
The Tornados were able to claw within two at 8:37 when Fritz hit a jumper to make it 61-59, but were unable to hold back the offensive firepower of Clayton State as they outscored Brevard 17-5 in the seven minutes of play bringing the final tally 80-66 in favor of the Lakers.
Woodard led all-scorers in the game with 24 points for the Lakers. Drameka Griggs added 18 of her own off the bench. Rebounds proved to be a huge factor as Clayton State was able to pull down 43, while Brevard reeled in just 25.
Amanda Whitaker (Asheville, N.C.) led the Tornados on the defensive end with four steals, while Watkins swiped a pair and had two blocks in the game.
Brevard heads to Pfeiffer University for their next game on Tuesday, November 16. You can follow the game on 1240-AM WSQL or www.wsqlradio.com as Dwayne Summers and Seth Montgomery make the call from Misenheimer, N.C. Tip-off is set for 5:30 with the pre-game show starting at 5 p.m.

Victorian hospitals are preparing to reschedule elective surgeries and reopen beds following the reinstatement of federal funding - but say jobs are gone for good.
The federal backdown has provided a reprieve for Casey Hospital in Berwick, which will not proceed with plans to close its emergency department overnight.
Victorian hospitals had been implementing plans to cancel thousands of elective surgeries and close about 350 beds following a $107 million reduction in expected federal funding this financial year.
Royal Children's Hospital chief executive Christine Kilpatrick said 12 jobs made redundant in January would not be reinstated. Uncertainty remains about a further 38 jobs the hospital was due to axe through redundancies and existing vacancies.
Professor Kilpatrick said she was trying to find out when and how the hospital would receive $3.6 million previously cut from its budget.
The reinstatement of the $107 million did not bring political peace. In developments:
■ Prime Minister Julia Gillard blamed the bed closures and surgery cancellations on ''a grand act of incompetence'' by Premier Ted Baillieu.
■ Mr Baillieu hit back, saying the reinstatement was a ''political stunt'' and that the same problem would re-surface in the next financial year.
■ It emerged that the Baillieu government failed to activate a dispute resolution clause in the national health funding agreement.
■ Ms Gillard threatened other states with ''rearrangement'' of their budgets if they withheld health funds.
■ A senior federal source said bypassing the Baillieu government by providing the funding directly to health service providers could be viewed as a ''partial takeover'' of the health system by the Commonwealth.
■ Greens health spokesman Richard Di Natale demanded Canberra reinstate funding to other states.
Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek, visiting Casey Hospital, said the state government had been cruel in passing on the cuts and stood by the recalculation of Victoria's population that underpinned the changes.
Those figures mean Victoria will receive $100 million less in 2013-14, although overall funding will rise.
Victorian Hospitals Association chief executive Trevor Carr said hospitals that had slashed elective surgery in shutdowns over Christmas might struggle to meet targets they had set at the start of the year.
''The public needs to understand this doesn't end the disruption as of today and unfortunately our capacity as a system to deliver everything we hoped for this year has been compromised,'' he said.
Austin Hospital chief executive Brendan Murphy said he expected the hospital would be able ''to ramp up clinical activity to previously planned levels quickly''.
Southern Health chief executive Shelly Park said the health network was planning to reschedule elective surgery, ''acknowledging that this will be gradual''.
Royal Melbourne Hospital chief executive Gareth Goodier said he was waiting to receive payment details before being able to confirm when the hospital would reopen a 25-bed ward and return operating theatres to full capacity.
Other hospitals including The Alfred, St Vincent's, Western and Eastern Health welcomed the funding announcement but said they would need further details before making decisions on services.

U.S. News & World Report Names Top Hospitals
The most well-known of a series of hospital rankings is a powerful marketing tool, but one observer says he is troubled that none of the various "rating schemes" use state and federal inspection data in their evaluations.
U.S. News & World Report released its much anticipated 24th annual Best Hospitals ranking Tuesday with familiar hospitals holding the coveted top spots.
The only drama came when Johns Hopkins Hospital reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the magazine's honor roll, a distinction it had held from 1991 through 2011, but which it lost last year to Massachusetts General Hospital. Mass General had to settle for silver this year, dropping to No. 2 on the list. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN came in third.
Johns Hopkins Hospital officials were positively giddy with the news and issued a press statement crowing that the Baltimore hospital was "back on top."
"Given the competitive, rapidly changing health care environment and the realization that U.S. News evaluated more than 4,806 hospitals, we hope you share our incredible pride in achieving this top-tier ranking among the best hospitals in the United States," said a joint letter to employees and staff from Paul B. Rothman, MD, dean of the medical faculty and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Ronald R. Peterson, president of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System and executive vice president of Johns Hopkins Medicine.

San Diego • Brandt Snedeker ended another round at Torrey Pines atop the leaderboard. Only this time he had company, and still a long way to go.
Snedeker had a flawless start to his title defense in the Farmers Insurance Open by playing bogey-free on the North Course for a 7-under 65 and a share of the lead with K.J. Choi on Thursday. The advantage after one day goes to Choi, who birdied three of his last four holes on the tough South Course for his 65.
Tiger Woods, a seven-time champion at Torrey Pines as a pro, looked as if he might join them. Woods was one shot off the lead with five holes to play on the South until he stumbled in the final hour of a cloudy day with two bogeys and had to scramble to save par on the par-5 18th for a 68.
"I made a few mistakes out there, but I made some nice plays as well," Woods said.
He three-putted for double bogey on the fourth hole, and then responded with a 12-footer for birdie, an eagle by holing a bunker shot on the par-5 sixth, and birdie putts on the eighth and ninth holes to get back into the game.
Phil Mickelson had quite the taxing day with a 72 on the North, which played about 1½ strokes easier than the course that hosted a U.S. Open in 2008.
Snedeker already is developing quite the love affair with this municipal course along the Pacific Bluffs. As a rookie, he was 10 under through 10 holes and had to settle for a 61 on the North Course. He finished third that year. Then, he rallied from seven shots behind in the final round, got into a playoff when Kyle Stanley made triple bogey on the 18th and won on the second playoff hole.
One year later, he was right back at it.
"It's funny, you look at all the golf courses I should play well on, this should not be one of them," Snedeker said. "This is a long, difficult golf course with lots of rough and hitting a lot of iron shots. My strength is driving and putting, so it doesn't really add up well around year. But for some reason, it's been good to me."

"When baking, follow directions. When cooking, go by your own taste." - Laiko Bahrs
These days, making family meals that taste good, are not complicated to prepare and don't cost a lot of money can be a frustrating challenge. Melissa d'Arabian is a mom of four who knows about how to shop wisely and budget efficiently to make hard-earned food dollars stretch.
"Ten Dollar Dinners" is a collection of 140 recipes and advice in which d'Arabian creatively shows home cooks how to feed a family of four on $10 without sacrificing taste or nutrition. How about Simple Sirloin Steak with Shallot Butter, Shrimp Scampi Linguine or Herb Roasted Chicken with Potatoes for dinner? There are also many vegetarian-friendly dishes, and dessert is not forgotten with recipes for Fruit Salad with Lemon-Mint Syrup, Citrus Butter Cookies and Double Chocolate Pound Cake to satisfy that need for something sweet.
By now, most of us have been made aware of the impact that animal agriculture has had on the environment and on us by the continual recommendations of the medical community to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Several years back, the idea of giving meat a rest one day a week was started and now there is a cookbook to put it into practice called "The Meat Free Monday Cookbook." There are 52 daily menus with two main dishes, ideas for breakfast, a side dish or snack and dessert.
Most recipes use easy-to-find ingredients, are not hard to make and come with a full-color photograph of a completed menu item to woo the eyes. With choices such as Spinach Tart, Pad Thai Noodles, Summer Berry Muffins and Grilled Peaches with Greek Yogurt, going meatless once a week will not be boring.
Many Mexican dishes like moles develop their rich flavors while simmering away for hours in a pot on the stove. Since many recipes do call for long cooking times, they are perfect candidates for the crockpot. San Diego chef Deborah Schneider has converted some of the most popular south-of-the-border flavors for her latest book called "The Mexican Slow Cooker." Be aware that there is some advanced preparation like toasting chiles, so definitely read the instructions before starting. Just know that it will be worth the extra effort to enjoy tender Chile Verde, Fajitas, Tamales and Shredded Beef or Chicken for tacos or burritos. There are also recipes for beans and rice plus desserts like Flan with Caramel and Mexican Chocolate Bread Pudding with Bananas.
"Seasonal Baker" by John Barricelli is his second collections of tantalizing recipes geared for the home kitchen. Fresh fruits and vegetables are the star ingredients. To that end, Barricelli begins with a short series of checklists which includes one for produce on what to look for, how to store and how to prepare them so that recipes will turn out at their optimum. Fruit-based dishes are the main attraction, however there is a variety of savory vegetable recipes like the sophisticated looking Asparagus Tart with Herbed Bechamel and Gruyere fit for a dinner party and kid-approved Grilled Pizza Margherita.
To be sure, there are baked treats, too, such as Banana-Macadamia Nut Tartlets that use filo dough for the crust, and Citrus Angel Food Cake that looks so light and refreshing. Finally, in honor of the fall season, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Cinnamon Cream.
It may be safe to say that most of us have tried Jell-O at least once in our lives. It was probably served as a salad with canned fruit cocktail mixed in or served plain when you were recovering from an illness. If this is your association, then get ready to be amazed. "Hello Jell-O" by Victoria Belanger is a colorful collection of salads, no-bake desserts and grown-up edible cocktails. With only a handful of ingredients and simple directions, you can make luscious desserts like Cr me Brulee, Carrot Cake, New York Cheesecake and Grasshopper Pie. Why not get creative and bring a Pina Colada, a Mojito or Sparking Champagne and Strawberries mold to the next adults-only party? People will definitely want the recipe.

Topic: Hearing Loss
Hi Everyone. My wife is currently on Gem/Cis for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma stage IVb. She's tolerated the treatment very well for the first few rounds but has had more complications with each successive round. She's currently on her 8th round. She's been experiencing severe nausea and extreme fatigue. Her platelets plummet after every treatment to the range of 10-15. She's on Lovenox and when her platelets drop so low the bruising from her shots are horrendous. She's been getting a shot ( can't remember the name) after the first round to keep her counts up but one of the side effects is seizures, which she started having this week...so the shots are out of the picture.
All of this is bad enough but what is really worrisome is hearing loss. I know it's a side effect of Cisplatin. Does anyone know if it's temprorary? We're going to talk to her Dr. next week about a possible Plan B because she's not willing to stay the course she's on. If we stop the Cisplating does anyone know if she can expect to have her hearing restored?

Perritt Records Fifth Three-Hit Game in Setback at James Madison
Liberty outfielder Ashton Perritt recorded his fifth three-hit game of the year, as the Flames fell to the James Madison Dukes,13-4, Tuesday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Perritt collected three hits, scored a run, and stole a base for the second straight game, Tuesday night. In 26 starts this season, the outfielder has posted 14 multi-hit contests.
Liberty drops to 27-25 on the year, after losing four straight games. James Madison moves to 23-26, as the Dukes have won three consecutive contests.
After three scoreless innings, James Madison batted around and staked itself to an advantage with four runs in the home half of the fourth. Designated hitter Johnny Bladel opened the inning with a double and advanced to third base on a passed ball. After a walk to first baseman Ty McFarland, center fielder Colby Roberts singled to right field for a 1-0 Dukes' edge. Two batters later and with two men aboard, left fielder Tyler Gregory connected for his second home run of the year for a 4-0 edge.
James Madison extended its lead in the fifth. With one out, Roberts walked and scored on a two-out double by Gregory. Right fielder Cole McInturff and shortstop Tyler Duke followed with run-scoring singles for a 7-0 lead.
In the top of the sixth, Liberty plated its first three runs of the contest. Center fielder Ryan Cordell led off the inning with an infield single and stole second base. After moving to third base on a groundout by catcher Trey Wimmer, designated hitter Danny Grauer dumped a single into left-center field, scoring Cordell with the first tally of the frame.
Grauer then ended up on third base, when Dukes' third baseman Bradley Shaban threw wide of the second-base bag on a grounder by second baseman Bryan Aanderud. First baseman Alex Close followed by lifting a sacrifice fly to cut the hosts' advantage to 7-2. After left fielder Justin Sizemore walked, shortstop Dalton Britt produced a run with a single, trimming the James Madison lead to 7-3.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Dukes countered with two runs. With runners at second and third and two outs, pinch hitter Casey Goss' infield single to shortstop scored a run. On the hit, Britt's throw got away at first base, allowing another runner to come home to boost the hosts' advantage to 9-3.
The Flames plated a run in the seventh. Perritt led off the frame with single. Two batters later, Perritt stole second and scored on a single by Wimmer to make it, 9-4 Dukes.
Liberty attempted to once again cut into the James Madison lead in the top of the eighth. The Flames loaded the bases with one out, but Duke reliever Kevin Feehan struck out the next two Liberty batters to end the threat.
In the bottom of the frame, Goss hit an inside-the-park grand slam for the final tally of 13-4.
Liberty starter Adam Parks falls to 1-3 on the year. The first of six Flames to pitch in the contest, Parks pitched three-plus innings, allowing two runs on three hits. The right-hander struck out three and walked two batters.
James Madison starter J.T. Root moves to 2-0 on the season. The right-hander pitched five scoreless innings. The first of five Dukes to take the mound in the game, Root struck out four batters and walked two.
Liberty outhit James Madison, 11-10. Cordell collected two hits for the Flames.
Liberty will finish out its 2013 regular-season schedule at home with a three-game Big South series against the Radford Highlanders. The series opens Thursday at Liberty Baseball Stadium, with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m.

Frida's CorsetsBy Leslie Jamison
Frida Kahlo wore plaster corsets for most of her life because her spine was too weak to support itself. She painted them, naturally, covering them with pasted scraps of fabric and drawings of tigers, monkeys, plumed birds, a blood-red hammer and sickle, and streetcars like the one whose handrail rammed through her body when she was eighteen years old. The corsets remain to this day in her famous blue house—their embedded mirrors reflecting back our gazes, their collages bringing the whole world into stricture. In one, an open circle has been carved into the plaster like a skylight near the heart. Read More

First pitch is less than an hour. When is the over/under if the inning when the booing starts?
Moises Alou is back. A lot of Mets say he could be a difference. That's scary in a way that they depend so much on a 41-year-old injury-prone player who won't be here next year.
They need John Maine to go long tonight and keep the offense from falling into a hole.

Rag & Bone Fall 2009: Packed to the Gills, With Goodness
Rag & Bone Fall 2009: Packed to the Gills, With Goodness
>> Rag & Bone always attracts the legions — last season there was enough trouble filing in when the show space was the vast Pier 94; this season, the crowd had to push and shove their way through the two small double doors of Cedar Lake Ballet Theater, and a number of people who were supposed to have seats were forced to stand. While the rest of us were bumped and budged, immobile, Julia Restoin Roitfeld knew how to conquer the immovable best — just after she waved hello to Genevieve Jones, a tall, modelesque man parted the crowd with an "Excuse me, I'm late for the show." Presumably, everyone assumed he was a model trying to get backstage fifteen minutes after the show was scheduled to start. Julia saw him and latched onto his elbow with a "Hey, Zack, I'm going to use you as an excuse to get through." And with that, she was in — the rest of us still in the same place. Turns out, the guy wasn't even in the show.
But Edita Vilkeviciute was, and Isabeli Fontana — who closed — Diana Farkhullina and Sigrid Agren — all new faces, in addition to Rag & Bone perennial favorites like Coco Rocha, Lily Donaldson, Sasha Pivovarova, Jessica Stam, and Julia Stegner. The label's usual palette of navy, black, and gray was in place, with some unexpected pops of red in a flower brooch here, in an obi belt there. Marcus Wainwright and David Neville worked with a different stylist this season — Tabitha Simmons — and she helped them take it to a new level — the chain mail detailing on a hem or peeking out under a jacket was an especially unique touch.

I use FreeBSD on every general purpose machine I have (there are some BT boxes, a few XP etc. around) - it always feels like it's giving me more control than a Linux, you can compile software via ports (if you so wish), or install via packages.
There is another path - one I often use to get my PII-333 up to speed with updates - you can compile the majority of your software on another machine and transfer it over.
Of course, Ubuntu (and thus BT) gives you a fair whack of control especially through the apt-get system, but it can be annoying sometimes when you want to compile in your own program. I usually install my programs to ~/bin/ so that any overwriting by the apt-get system doesn't mess with me too badly.

HANGZHOU, China – Chinese vehicle manufacturer Kandi Technologies Inc. is building a network of multistory automated garages here in one of the world's largest cities, where people can rent electric cars by the hour.
Renters can take the ultra-compact electric vehicles for a spin for about $3 an hour by after paying with their debit or credit cards. They run for about 75 miles on a charge and reach a maximum speed of 50 mph. Drivers can drop off their rented car at another Kandi station near their destination.
Each garage holds between 30 and 300 cars. Kandi plans on making 100,000 cars available for hourly rental over the next couple of years and to expand into two other cities this year. It's targeting 750 car-vending stations for Hangzhou, with 50 in place by March.
Of the 1.35 billion people in China, only 10% own a car. China has 2,700 bike-sharing stations -- the most in the world -- so people are familiar with Kandi's concept on two wheels.
As incomes have risen, more Chinese are in need of cars. The Chinese government has pledged 400 billion yuan ($66 billion) to get two million EVs on China's roads by 2020 to help get people into cars while reducing smog.

Al Qaeda Conference Call Intercepted by U.S. Officials Sparked Alerts
The crucial intercept that prompted the U.S. government to close embassies in 22 countries was a conference call between al Qaeda's senior leaders and representatives of several of the group's affiliates throughout the region.
The intercept provided the U.S. intelligence community with a rare glimpse into how al Qaeda's leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, manages a global organization that includes affiliates in Africa, the Middle East, and southwest and southeast Asia.
Several news outlets reported Monday on an intercepted communication last week between Zawahiri and Nasser al-Wuhayshi, the leader of al Qaeda's affiliate based in Yemen. But The Daily Beast has learned that the discussion between the two al Qaeda leaders happened in a conference call that included the leaders or representatives of the top leadership of al Qaeda and its affiliates calling in from different locations, according to three U.S. officials familiar with the intelligence. All told, said one U.S. intelligence official, more than 20 al Qaeda operatives were on the call.
To be sure, the CIA had been tracking the threat posed by Wuhayshi for months. An earlier communication between Zawahiri and Wuhayshi delivered through a courier was picked up last month, according to three U.S. intelligence officials. But the conference call provided a new sense of urgency for the U.S. government, the sources said.
Al Qaeda members included representatives or leaders from Nigeria's Boko Haram, the Pakistani Taliban, al Qaeda in Iraq, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and more obscure al Qaeda affiliates such as the Uzbekistan branch. Also on the call were representatives of aspiring al Qaeda affiliates such as al Qaeda in the Sinai Peninsula, according to a U.S. intelligence official. The presence of aspiring al Qaeda affiliates operating in the Sinai was one reason the State Department closed the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, according to one U.S. intelligence official. "These guys already proved they could hit Eilat. It's not out of the range of possibilities that they could hit us in Tel Aviv," the official said.
Al Qaeda leaders had assumed the conference calls, which give Zawahiri the ability to manage his organization from a remote location, were secure. But leaks about the original intercepts have likely exposed the operation that allowed the U.S. intelligence community to listen in on the al Qaeda board meetings.

School of Music to present the work of Igor Stravinsky
The USC School of Music's Chamber Innovista and Southern Exposure New Music Series are partnering to present a concert, titled "The Music of Igor Stravinsky," 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7, in the School of Music recital hall.
Igor Stravinsky
The concert is free and open to the public.
The masterpieces by the great Russian composer will be showcased in an evening of music, theater and dance. Featuring the talents of faculty members and students from USC's School of Music, as well as the department of theatre and dance, the concert will focus on several of Stravinsky's most beloved works.
The concert will begin with "Fanfare for a New Theater," performed by trumpeters James Ackley and Stephen Rushing, followed by excerpts from Stravinsky's ballet, "Petrushka," in an arrangement for two pianos by the composer, performed by pianists Marina Lomazov and Joseph Rackers.
Stravinsky's neoclassic "Octet" ends the first half, with Jennifer Parker-Harley on flute, Joseph Eller on clarinet, Peter Kolkay and Michael Harley on bassoons, trumpeters Ackley and Rushing and trombonists Brad Edwards and Colt Campbell. Rebecca Phillips will conduct.
After intermission, the evening will conclude with a semi-staged version of Stravinsky's masterpiece, "A Soldier's Tale," performed by William Terwilliger on violin, Eller on clarinet, Kolkay on bassoon, Ackley on trumpet, Edwards on trombone, Craig Butterfield on double bass and Scott Herring on percussion. Rebecca Phillips will conduct, with special guest artists Jacob Will as The Narrator, Victor Holtcamp as The Soldier, Robert Richmond as The Devil and Ashley Johannsen as The Ballerina.

Test Drive Your Idea. We Know You'll Be Amazed!

Hi my name is Vincent Hoss. I'm very happy with my Brilliant Directories website. I've been looking around for an easy-to-use website that Google is happy with for a number of years. I had quotes that were five times what I actually spent getting this site finished. This is my little helper here who helps me with the sites. Keeps an eye on things.
The thing is, it's hard to find a site that's easy to use, that's easy to customize, and Brilliant Directories has been really easy to use. I ended up signing up for the onboarding to help me get the site together. Then I realized I wanted more custom things than they had on the onboarding so I ended up using the Marketplace. That's worked out really good.
The site's been up for about four weeks now and I get probably one to two calls per day but I do have 15 years experience in internet marketing and lead generation. So I must say that that the Brilliant Directories site was really the foundation that I needed to accomplish… I've tried so many different sites, so many different softwares that said they could do it but in reality it wasn't easy to use, Google wasn't happy with it, it wasn't easy to customize, it bogged down and I stopped searching after this.
I've got several more sites under construction. If you're thinking about doing a directory this seems like the perfect software to use. If you have questions or need any help you can reach me at VincentHoss.com. Again very happy with the software, the price was very reasonable, and I've been happy with it. And based on my experience I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with it if you give it a whirl. Thanks.

Brilliant Directories is by far the best membership site on the web. They offer a fully integrated solution that enables you to start a membership directory business in as little as 2 days. 3 years ago I paid over $10,000 for a customized membership directory site that didn't have the features that Brilliant Directory provides out of the box. The site is very simple to configure and easy to use.
Brilliant Directories has solved a major problem for me in my business and am now making over $10,000 a month.

I've spent the better part of a year working with various directory systems, mostly built on WordPress. These systems were buggy, slow, expensive, and prone to plugin breakage. It was a frustrating experience getting them to work.
I was skeptical of Brilliant Directories until I tried it out. Wow! With their system, I had a working directory in minutes that was fast and simply worked.
One of the great things about their system is that it's incredibly customizable. They've built their system on a widget platform that allows you to not only customize any part of the site, but you can use your own PHP and javascript code to create your own functionality.
There have been a few times when I've needed some help with their system, and I've found that their support team is very quick and efficient with ticket requests. They have a nice knowledge base and community forum that answers a lot of your questions.
Brilliant Directories has enabled me to stop wasting time on difficult WordPress systems and actually get to work building my directory. I wish I had discovered this service earlier.

This is a fabulous product provided by fabulous folks. I'm loving it. The support is awesome. I feel I have found a family and friends. I have been looking for this script for ten years. I have tried every script out there, gone back to old options, tried again and ended up back at square one.
Then I found Brilliant Directories and what a find. Finally, a ten year search and some-one had the nous to do the job properly and completely. The last word on directories.

I'm pleasantly surprised! It's always been a dream to be able to create web directory website. I'm really happy with the service. I've never had customer service call me to make sure everything is going well. Dennis was very kind, understanding, and explained everything clearly. This really made me feel happy & comfortable. I love the videos. They are so easy to follow and everyone seems knowledgeable, yet so friendly. My site has been up for months and I'm looking forward to a long term partnership. With service like this I feel like I would go to battle for Brilliant Directories.

I have been extremely impressed with the staff at Brilliant Directories. I waited to review the sales experience until I got my site all set and operating because I wanted to make sure they were true to their word. They were! The site got up quick, the staff was extremely responsive without being pushy, and they simply have a great product that is packaged nicely.
Thanks for the great service!

I started using Brilliant Directories 6 months ago after trying to build directories on my own. I found their product to have all the elements that I needed to have in order to launch a directory. They gave me individual support and training to learn how to personalize and customize the directory for my market. I look forward to a long and productive relationship with Brilliant Directories. If you are looking for a directory for your niche then look no further. Brilliant Directories has it all.

Brilliant Directories is amazing. From the first moment I reached out to them through their website, the experience has been terrific. The system is the cleanest directory system available in the market today, bar none. The people at Brilliant Directories are top-notch, and are always ready to assist in every way possible. I have worked with a lot of companies, both as a business owner and international business consultant, and I can truly say that Brilliant Directories understands what a "great user experience" really means.
If you are considering going into the directory business, I would highly recommend talking to the experts at BD. Jason, Matthew, and their team truly care about their customers.
Simply put, you would be hard-pressed to find a better directory team, or directory technology, in the world today.

First, I have admired this directory a little over a year ago. I consider myself mid-level experience in web design. I am very proficient with Wordpress and Drupal but Brilliant Directories is far less complicated. The day I found this directory sometime around June 2014, it was the most beautiful directory I ever saw at that time even without trying out the admin demo. If I didn't buy this directory a year ago it was because of price was a little on the steep side. Now that I own this directory I now know why it was somewhat pricy.
The numerous video tutorials associated with this product is worth more than the cost of this directory considering that several scripts out there charge exorbitant sums with very little guidelines or customer support. No Directory theme or directory on the market today comes even close to this product.

I highly recommend Brilliant Directories for anyone who is interested in starting a directory website. Both their software and customer support are first class!
I've been interested in holistic health for a number of years. I've found it hard to track down reputable holistic health care providers, so last year I decided to create a web site where holistic practitioners can list their services (and eventually get rated). This would be helpful not only to me, but tons of folks worldwide who prefer a holistic approach to healthcare.
I first started trying to code the site on my own using an 'easy' plugin, but realized it was never was going to be what I envisioned. I then tried to hire a developer to create the website for me. I got several quotes from curiously cheap to very expensive. In general, I found them difficult to communicate with and didn't feel that they understood what I was looking for.
Luckily, I came across Brilliant Directories in a Google search. Not only did they understand what I was trying to accomplish, but they were able to execute my vision quickly. I found their customer support to be both extremely knowledgeable and patient with my questions. They even shared strategies to help get my first hundred members listed. 5-stars!

Jason Haloossim, CEO & Co-Founder
The first Brilliant Directories website was our own. In 2009, we took an idea we believed in and built software for it from the ground up. The idea was to build a directory website of interior designers and build an empire around it. But there was a problem: the software we found seemed to work against our ambitions at every turn. Back then, the options for directory software were unreliable plugins or expensive custom development. It was incredibly expensive, unnecessarily complex, and frighteningly unstable to combine random plugins.
Existing directory software did not have the features we needed and were not solutions we could rely on. Furthermore, as young entrepreneurs with basically no budget, we didn't have a lot of money to invest in expensive development, so we rejected those options and created our own. Our custom software met our needs so well that we decided to take everything we learned and shifted our business away from the interior designer directory and towards fixing the glaring hole in the directory software market. We knew that we weren't the only ones looking for a better directory software, and there needed to be an option to support the needs of start-ups and established organizations. We set out to create the software that we wished would have existed, and we launched it in 2010 under the name Brilliant Directories.
Brilliant Directories is exactly this: the only platform you need to build your directory website. Brilliant Directories is reliable, complete, and most important, saves you time and money compared to traditional web development. It's a mission that we take very seriously. We stand behind our product with top-rated customer service and a dedication for continually improving our software daily. With thousands of users worldwide and growing every day, we hope to help your dream come online very soon.
To your success,
Jason Haloossim

Hello! I'm Dr. Kevin Grold. I'm the CEO of EDReferral.com and here you can see my homepage created with Brilliant Directories. It's worked out brilliantly for me in that it's allowed me to create many different ways for people to search for eating disorder treatment which is what we do.
So for instance on the homepage here when you open it up it automatically brings up all the icons of all the treatment centers and individuals and support groups in your local area automatically. Then we have a little video that explains all the different features of the site and if you scroll down you can visit our sponsors and you can also read about many different topics related to eating disorders.
But what I really like about the site is when you go to do a search Brilliant Directories allows me to create many different ways for people to search here that people can click on just to find treatment in their state, we can search by keyword here, we can also click on an icon map that was back on our homepage, or again click on a state in another way at the bottom. But what I really like is that there are specific ways for searching for treatment. And for instance if you clicked on let's say "Eating Issues Treated" and then click on let's say "Anorexia"… what it does is it automatically fills in your local area here and in Del Mar and you click search, what that does is bring up all the resources related to anorexia in my local area. And you can click on any of these highlighted treatment centers or individuals to read more about them.
What it's doing is at the same time is creating a separate page for each one of these categories that you'll see here. So for instance "Collaborates with" and then "College health centers" in Del Mar – that creates a separate page. That's what I really like about Brilliant Directories. So for instance if I did a search on Google we're going to see that I have over 40,000 pages – 40,000 different combinations that Brilliant Directories created for me so that I'll have so many pages on Google and so many ways for people to find me.
And for instance if somebody types in "eating disorder treatment centers", who's going to come up first? EDReferral.com. So I'd like to say that Brilliant Directories is working out brilliantly for me and thank you for the amazing site.

Hi, my name is Patrick and I'm one of the developers here at 2Nerds Design Studio. We are a third-party company that works with Brilliant Directories' current and new members. I have seen a lot of software out there on the market for directories and I have got to say Brilliant Directories is one of the best on the market.
The reason is because Brilliant Directories is very user friendly and helpful to new members that join the site. One thing that Brilliant Directories allows their members to do is to create directory websites very easily and at a very cheap price which is wonderful for people who are starting up their own business. Also Brilliant Directories has a good SEO optimization platform for customers which is very important for growing your business as well.
I would say Brilliant Directories is probably one of the best and it's been a lot of fun. That's what we love working on — Brilliant Directories' members and new members that come on board. So I always suggest to members who want to start a directory website that they should use Brilliant Directories as their platform to do so.

Hi guys. My name is Doris Flewellen and I'm located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. I want to take the time to share with you my experiences with Brilliant Directories. First I'd like to say, yes, I highly recommend them. As a business owner and someone very new to the directory industry, I had no clue as to what it is I needed to do. I didn't know where to start. I didn't know where to begin. The customer service at Brilliant Directories is amazing. Ultimately, it's the customer service and the warmth of the whole team that allowed me to make the decision as to whether or not I was going to purchase this software. And I'm glad that I did because the support, like I said, is amazing.
The company itself is brilliant. I have to tell you this story – I had so many membership levels in my directory it was ridiculous. And it was funny because I could just imagine the look on Jason's [Brilliant Directories CEO] face when he was looking, like, "what is going on here?" And so what he did is he actually took the time to straighten that whole mess out for me at no cost to me. That was amazing.
I've not only bought one directory, I bought two. If you are skeptical/undecided as to whether or not this company is the company that you should purchase your directory from, take it from me, I highly recommend that you choose Brilliant Directories simply because the support from their customer service department is awesome. There's not a time when I sent over a frustrating email and someone sent one back in frustration. It was always patience. They're very patient with you because trust me, I have seen my fair share of angry emails out of my own personal frustrations of trying to figure out what it is I want to do, and when Jason [Brilliant Directories CEO] called me personally to say, "Hey, we don't want you frustrated. We want to resolve the issue and we're going to resolve it today…" I love that. I love that confidence in his voice knowing that he was not going to let me get off that phone upset like I was. And when I got off that phone I'll tell you I was relaxed. It was a weight lifted off my shoulders and it was one less thing I had to worry about. And I thank them so much.
So again if you are undecided/not sure if Brilliant Directories is the route to take, I can tell you, you need to take it. No more hesitating. Do it today. You need to lock in on those promotions or whatever opportunity that was presented to you and jump on it because it's definitely worth it.
Now my directory is generating money for me and I owe it all to Brilliant Directories. I owe it all to the team. Overall, to everyone who had a hand in putting this whole thing together, it's amazing. I appreciate you guys. I love you guys! Thank you so much, guys. I highly recommend Brilliant Directories. Thank you!

In 1886, King Ludwig II, the King of Bavaria, was deposed on grounds of mental incapacity without any medical examination. His "diagnosis" remains controversial among historians to this day. Soon after his fall from power, Ludwig died under mysterious circumstances, leaving the eccentric and beautiful "fairytale" castles he had built as his only remaining legacy.
While putting away books from an estate sale purchase, rare book-dealer Steven Lukas finds a box he's never seen before wedged between books on a high shelf. In it he discovers what looks to be a small diary written entirely in code, a lock of hair, and old photographs of the Fairytale King. It isn't long however, before his excitement turns to fear as he realizes that mysterious others want the diary too - and will apparently kill to get it. Suspecting that his find may contain the secret truth behind Ludwig's death, Steven consults with art historian Sara Lengfeld. Soon they find themselves on the run together, investigating each of Ludwig's three castles for clues as to just what in that ancient diary could be so explosive as to be worth killing - and even dying - for.

"Pötzsch's sophisticated plotting and good use of a real-lifehistorical puzzle place this far ahead of most Da Vinci Code wannabes." (Publishers Weekly starred review)
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
"For Dreamers and Fairy Tale Lovers Everywhere"
If you love old books, old fairy tales, and old Germany, this one's for you . . . Having lived in Germany twice and visited all three of King Ludwig's castles, I was captivated by this historical (fictional) tale moving between current day and the last days of the king's reign. If you don't have a vivid imagination or value things of old, it may not be for you . . . but I found myself lost in it . . . once again walking in Linderhof, Neuschuanstein, and Herrenchemchiemsee castles. The modern day murder and the box containing the diary that leads Steve and Sara back to the castles in search of answers is a mystery that keeps you listening . . . and wondering . . . a great journey!
Painter, musician, bibliophile...
"A little predictable"
I avoided reading the book in print because the translation I saw was a mess. I waited for the spoken version, and when I saw Anthea Bell had translated it, I knew this translation would have been carefully prepared. Plus, Simon Vance, while perhaps not the best choice for a narrator who has to get through a lot of German pronunciation, does a commendable job. So why am I so disappointed in this book?
Without revealing spoilers, I'll just say the plot seemed predictable and too much was given away too early. Unfortunately, it cannot escape comparisons to "The Da Vinci Code." This too, is all too obvious very early on.
Furthermore, while the main characters showed the potential for unique and intriguing personalities early on, they didn't develop into fictional people I cared much about. Despite the fact they were in danger and there should have been great suspense, I couldn't sustain much interest in what happened next.
On the other hand, the book is atmospheric and evocative, a beautiful fictional visit to Bavaria for the armchair tourist, with a good dash of history thrown in.
This is the first Pötzsch book I've read. I would definitely read something else from him. But overall, I'd give "The Ludwig Conspiracy" a miss and choose another of this books if you are interested.
"Another great story line from Oliver Potzsch"
Great writer with great historical research. The narrator does a good job interpreting the author's characters personalities.
"Simplistic and unbelievable mystery."
Ludwig II is a fascinating character but this is a dime store potboiler not worthy of the legend. Simon Vance is great as always.
"Best story ever"
It's been a long time since I really loved a book like this where the writing and performance come together in a perfect storm of talent. I am a Scott Brick and sometime Luke Daniels fan but Simon Vance has gone to the head of the class with this book. I highly recommend this story to anyone who has any imagination at all.
Good story. The reader could have been better. I didn't agree with his interpretation of the main characters when they were angry...but I kept listening until the very end.
A busy Mum and Accountant. Listen to books while driving to work or sunbathing is my guilty pleasure.
"A pleasant suprise, not what I expected :-)"
It was a good story, had great flow, just enough historical fact to make it interesting, the relationships worked well, and the storyline kept you listening.
No, I it was a pleasant voice, and his interperation was great.
When reality hitted the main character.
"Kind of a watered-down DaVinci Code vibe"
I am hesitant about other books by Potzsch. I was so excited by the book description, but felt let down. The story was just meh.

As for Simon Vance, his narration was great. I would definitely listen to another book narrated by him, so long as the book sounded interesting.
I think it would take a lot of changes to make this one more enjoyable, but the biggest thing would be to strengthen the plot.
I think he did them all well.
It depends on the listener. For me, the story was a let down.
"So far Potzsch Best"
Read all Hangmans novels. Very entertaining. Never new author but happy surprise.the LC has the makings for a top notch Hollywood Thriller you read it hear FIRST😎✌🏻
Loves historical fiction mysteries.
"For hardcore German fans only"
I wanted to like this book, I really did. I did enjoy the Hangman's Daughter series, but I can not finish this one.
That there even is a Ludwig conspiracy theory, let alone dozens of them.
The novel must involve time travel because it starts out with king Ludwig alive and with a cellphone, this is not a favorite scene, just a rather bizarre one.
All of them, especially Ludwig himself!!! The guy is dead, and the author explains over and over and over why the German people are so reluctant to let it go.
Ludwig fans will rejoice, all others will be bored to tears. Let it go!

Rihanna lets loose at Barbados Carnival
Listen to Rihanna on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Welcome home?
Rihanna was in rare form while making an appearance at the Crop Over Festival in her native Barbados over the weekend. The 25-year-old, whose love of partying is almost as well known as her hit songs, attended the Foreday Morning Jam event, which started at 1 a.m. on Saturday morning. And let's just say her presence didn't go unnoticed.
The "Unapologetic" songstress walked the streets of the festival in this interesting ensemble. Up top she had on a see-thru shirt with sequined detailing providing a little modesty. Down below, she was sporting what appeared to be a white bathing suit bottom. As far as accessories, she wore a veil (naturally!) and some bright blue shades which masked face paint.
While her outfit was out there, Rihanna was thoughtful with her footwear — Converse sneakers. It turned out to be a very smart decision because she was on all fours on the ground at one point twerking with her gal pals. Naturally, a crowd formed around her while she showed off her risqué moves.
We're not sure exactly what was in that red mug, but we're guessing it wasn't water.
Then on Monday, Chris Brown's ex posted some more shots that were taken over the weekend at the festival. While she looked much more pulled together — beautiful makeup! — she was actually wearing less. The look consisted of a beaded bikini (she had a lot of confidence in those beads!) and headpiece, feathers, and fishnets.

Monday Morning Quarterback Week 8
The Good
The Bad
Tampa Bay BuccaneersMinnesota Vikings
Josh Freeman is giving the Bucs much-improved play at the quarterback position. He came through with an excellent game against the Vikings, completing 19-of-36 passes for 262 yards with 3 TDs and no interceptions. Freeman is playing with confidence and poise.
The Vikings got off to a great start as they kept mistakes to a minimum. Christian Ponder was holding up his end in the early part of the season, but he is struggling now. He threw for 251 yards against the Bucs, but he tossed a key interception and was sacked three times.
Chicago BearsCarolina Panthers
Cam Newton seemed to play with a new resolve throughout most of the game and it appeared like the Panthers were on track for a huge road upset over the Bears. Newton threw for 314 yards and he also ran effectively. Despite an ordinary statistical game, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler led the Bears on two key fourth-quarter scoring drives.
Newton did not throw a touchdown pass and he also had two interceptions, one of which was returned for the go-ahead touchdown by Chicago cornerback Tim Jennings. Cutler was ineffective for long stretches and may have been feeling the impact of sore ribs.
Cleveland BrownsSan Diego Chargers
Not much to report on the positive side in this game, except that Cleveland rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden did not throw an interception. Neither did Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, but much more is expected from him.
Rivers is struggling quite a bit in recent weeks. Perhaps it's the high expectations of playing for the AFC West favorites, but Rivers is not throwing the ball consistently and could not solve the Cleveland defense. Weeden is learning, but he lacks dependability.
Detroit LionsSeattle Seahawks
The Lions got a badly needed win as quarterback Matthew Stafford came through in the fourth quarter with a rushing touchdown and then threw the game-winning TD pass. Stafford threw for 352 yards and had 3 touchdowns with 1 interception.
Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson had a decent game, but he could not trade punches with Stafford. Wilson needed an explosive game, not a good game if the Seahawks were going to win on the road. He threw 2 TDs and 1 interception.
Green Bay PackersJacksonville Jaguars
The Jaguars got an unexpectedly solid performance from quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who threw for 303 yards and 1 TD. Aaron Rodgers was not spectacular for the Packers, but he threw for 2 TDs and did was not picked off.
After a couple of sensational weeks, Rodgers came back down to earth and threw for 186 yards. If the Packers were facing a better team than the Jaguars, Rodgers' ordinary effort might not have been enough to bring the Packers a victory.
Miami DolphinsNew York Jets
After starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill was knocked out of the game due to a left knee injury, Matt Moore came in and did not miss a beat. He completed 11-of-19 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown and he did not throw an interception. Moore also had a 37-yard run.
The Jets were desperate for a win over a team they should have beaten, but they got taken apart. Mark Sanchez struggled throughout the game and completed 28-of-54 passes for 283 yards. His only touchdown pass came after the outcome was no longer in doubt. The Jets' offense has rarely shown any consistency this season.
Atlanta FalconsPhiladelphia Eagles
The Falcons are undefeated but they continue to play with a chip on their collective shoulders because they know there are a lot of skeptics who don't believe in them. Matt Ryan continues to perform like an MVP candidate. He completed 22-of-29 passes for 262 yards with 3 TDs and no interceptions.
Michael Vick and the Eagles needed a victory coming off the bye week, but they were unable to deliver. Much of that was due to the play of the Philadelphia defense, but Vick did nothing special. He threw for 191 yards and a touchdown and he hinted after the game that head coach Andy Reid is thinking about benching him.
Pittsburgh SteelersWashington Redskins
The Steelers were not about to let a home game against the Redskins slip away. Ben Roethlisberger came out and played a decisive offensive game, completing 24-of-33 passes for 222 yards with 3 TDs while he did not throw an interception. He was sharp, strong and confident throughout the game.
Robert Griffin III may be the best of the rookie quarterbacks but he struggled against the Steelers' aggressive defense. He competed less than 50 percent of his passes and he did not run the ball effectively.
New England PatriotsSt. Louis Rams
The Patriots had one of those games where they completely overwhelmed their opponent. Playing like London's Wembley Stadium was their second home, they devastated the Rams as Tom Brady threw for 304 yards and 4 TDs without throwing an interception.
Sam Bradford got out of the gate quickly, hitting wide receiver Chris Givens with a touchdown pass on the game's opening possession. However, Bradford was unable to sustain his passing game the rest of the way against perhaps the most vulnerable pass defense in the league.
Indianapolis ColtsTennessee Titans
It wasn't a substantial statistical game for prize rookie quarterback Andrew Luck, but he led the Colts on a tying touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter and a brilliant game-winning drive in overtime. He threw for 297 yards and played well on the road.
Matt Hasselbeck was not overly impressive even though he had decent numbers for the Titans. He completed 22-of-29 passes for 236 yards with 1 TD, but he could not do much in the second half when the Titans had a chance to take control of the game.
Oakland RaidersKansas City Chiefs
The Raiders got their second victory in a row and Carson Palmer did what necessary to beat the Chiefs. He threw touchdown passes in the second and third quarters to give the Raiders control of the game and they were not threatened seriously by Kansas City.
Brady Quinn went out of the game with a head injury and that meant Matt Cassel had to play. He had decent numbers in completing 20-of-30 passes, but his only TD pass came when the game was no longer within reach.
New York GiantsDallas Cowboys
Tony Romo was both brilliant and awful for the Cowboys. He brought Dallas back from a 23-0 deficit and allowed them to take the lead with sharp play in the second and third quarters. He threw for 437 yards and would have had the game-winning TD pass if Dez Bryant's hand had not hit the end line after he caught a pass in the end zone.
Eli Manning was ordinary in the victory. Romo threw four interceptions, including one that was returned 28 yards for a touchdown by New York defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. His turnovers put the Cowboys in a big hole.
Denver BroncosNew Orleans Saints
Peyton Manning continues to play sharp and efficient football. He was brilliant against the soft New Orleans defense, completing 22-of-30 passes for 305 yards with 3 TDs and no interceptions. He dictated the pace and remained in control throughout the game.
There's a ton of pressure on Drew Brees to help this team remain competitive, but he had a difficult time against the Broncos' hard-hitting defense. Brees threw for 213 yards but could not sustain the offense in the second half.

Starting at around $45,000, the XTS competes with midsized luxury sedans from European manufacturers like BMW, Audi and Mercedes. The XTS offers more interior room and cargo space, however and the availability of a 410-horsepower turbocharged V6 means the XTS holds its own when it comes to performance. Available all-wheel drive increases practicality and fits well with the impressive array of technologies available on the XTS.
Compare the 2016 Cadillac XTS against similar models
The XTS comes back for 2016 with minor changes. Among the enhancements include an available 360-degree camera system, Apple CarPlay and wireless device charging.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Until performance-oriented models took precedence, full-size sedans served as the solid pillars of the Cadillac lineup. Introduced for 2013, the Cadillac XTS is the largest sedan in the group. Considered a step up from Cadillac's ATS and CTS sports sedans, the Cadillac XTS is about comfort, refinement and capabilities.
Drivers get ample passenger room with the Cadillac XTS. Backseat space qualifies as massive, topping that of most similar-size sedans. Occupants enjoy abundant headroom and bountiful leg space, within a quiet and refined four-door. Compared against such rivals as the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Cadillac scores well in technology and available features.
Changes are modest for 2016. The 2016 Cadillac XTS is distinguished by revised grilles, integration with Apple CarPlay, and wireless smartphone charging. A Surround Vision camera is newly available.
Two 3.6-liter V6 engines are available. Smooth and predictable, the base engine sends 305 horsepower to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Buyers of upper-level models who prefer more get-up-and-go can select a Vsport twin-turbocharged version of the V6, whipping up 410 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.
Plenty of safety features are available, though you have to purchase an option group to get the most advanced items. One of them can apply brakes automatically, when sensors detect trouble, bringing the car to a halt from up to about 20 mph.
Also on the technical front, 4G LTE connectivity with GM's OnStar can create an in-car wi-fi network. All XTS sedans have CUE (Cadillac User Experience), with an eight-inch capacitive touchscreen (similar to an iPad) at the center of the instrument panel. Few actual buttons exist; nearly everything is done on-screen.
Fuel economy is about on par, considering the XTS's size. The Environmental Protection Agency estimated the base front-drive model at 18/22 mpg City/Highway, dropping to 17/26 mpg with all-wheel drive. Picking a Vsport engine lowers the estimates to 16/23 mpg.
Cadillac's XTS has earned good scores in crash testing, with a five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) deems XTS Good, its highest rating.
The 2016 Cadillac XTS comes in standard, Luxury, Premium, and Platinum trim. Each can be fitted with the 305-horsepower base engine, but Premium and Platinum versions can get the 410-horsepower Vsport twin-turbo V6, with all-wheel drive. Vsport models get a unique grille.
The 2016 Cadillac XTS ($45,295) comes with front-wheel drive, 305-horsepower V6, and 6-speed automatic transmission. The Premium Collection ($55,705) upgrades with navigation, premium audio, adaptive forward lighting, reconfigurable gauges, larger wheels, automatic headlights, illuminating door handles, and rain-sensing wipers. Platinum Collection ($64,550) adds soft Opus leather seating with perforated inserts, along with a microfiber sueded headliner. Twin 22-way power front seats offer heating, cooling, and massaging. Wood trim decorates the steering wheel, console, instrument panel, and door panels.
Platinum models can get a Driver Awareness package that includes Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, 360-degree surround-view cameras, and blind-spot monitoring. GM's Safety Alert Seat vibrates on one or both sides to signal potential dangers, such as veering over a lane divider. Also available is Automatic Parking Assist, which can steer the car into a parking space.
Topped by a softly arched roofline, set above smooth, uncluttered bodysides, the XTS comes across as an expertly crafted mixture of sharp angles, creases, and curves. The end result is a clean-looking profile, integrating just enough subtle verve to give the XTS a distinctive, clearly Cadillac appearance. In fact, today's XTS is a contemporary rendition of the Art & Science design theme devised more than a decade ago. Grilles have been revised for 2016.
Overall and in their individual elements, the instrument panel and trim within the Cadillac XTS show off the latest interior trends from General Motors. At the same time, the XTS interior differs from that of any other GM vehicle. Smoothly contoured and somewhat soft in detailing, the swooping dashboard is highlighted by neatly beveled metallic trim elements.
Materials are high in quality, including wood trim, numerous soft-touch surfaces, and leather-wrapped instrument panels. Fit and finish rank as excellent, demonstrating subtle luxury.
Space is ample for four adults; or for five, if one is a little smaller. Occupants sit a bit higher than in other big luxury sedans, which translates to excellent all-around visibility. On the down side, front-seat support trails some competitors. In back, however, passenger space is considerably greater.
With gouged-out portions of the rear headliner delivering increased headroom, six-footers and beyond won't be disappointed. Though the seats are not similarly contoured, the center rear position is better than in many cars.
Active noise cancellation helps keep the cockpit quiet. Unfortunately, the CUE setup remains troublesome, sometimes jumping around during crucial steps while using navigation. However, screen scrolling is smooth and problem-free. Live-traffic features operate flawlessly.
Acceleration with the base engine is slightly slow when starting off, while the Vsport V6 feels closer to the energetic nature of a V8. Closer to highway speeds, you can expect a rather exhilarating reaction when pushing the pedal of a Vsport.
Courtesy of a nicely tuned suspension and MagneRide magnetic ride control, you can expect a well-composed ride: somewhat firm, yet largely absorbent. Adjustable dampers automatically alter the ride so the XTS soaks up most surface flaws, including patches of broken-up pavement.
Overall, responses to steering inputs are crisper than in some comfort-focused automobiles. Any model demonstrates excellent road manners and a sense of nimbleness, as well as a satisfying connection to the pavement surface. Despite its two-ton bulk, an XTS doesn't even feel especially heavy. Cornering is flat, with little sense of inability to cope, though hard braking can yield quite a bit of nosedive.
Benefits of an XTS reach beyond interior space and comfort. Although an XTS is rather expensive, it's more agile than its size might suggest. With the Vsport engine, the largest Cadillac is also more energetic than it might appear. Overall, this Cadillac qualifies as a reasonably strong value in its class.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Old English gan "to go, advance, depart; happen; conquer; observe," from West Germanic *gai-/*gæ- (cf. Old Saxon, Old Frisian gan, Middle Dutch gaen, Dutch gaan, Old High German gan, German gehen), from PIE *ghe- "to release, let go" (cf. Sanskrit jihite "goes away," Greek kikhano "I reach, meet with"), but there is not general agreement on cognates.
The Old English past tense was eode, of uncertain origin but evidently once a different word (perhaps connected to Gothic iddja); it was replaced 1400s by went, formerly past tense of wenden "to direct one's way" (see wend). In northern England and Scotland, however, eode tended to be replaced by gaed, a construction based on go. In modern English, only be and go take their past tenses from entirely different verbs.
The word in its various forms and combinations takes up 45 columns of close print in the OED. Verbal meaning "say" emerged 1960s in teen slang. Colloquial meaning "urinate or defecate" attested by 1926. Go for broke is from 1951, American English colloquial; go down on "perform oral sex on" is from 1916. That goes without saying (1878) translates French cela va sans dire. As an adjective, "in order," from 1951, originally in aerospace jargon.
1727, "action of going," from go (v.). The sense of "a try or turn at something" is from 1825; meaning "something that goes, a success" is from 1876. Phrase on the go "in constant motion" is from 1843.

This isn't about Mark and I don't think you should focus your letter on him. This is about the store's seeming policy that only self-checkout lanes be open after a certain hour. Your letter could simply read:"While shopping at store/location on date at time, it came to my attention that only the self-checkout lanes were open. I am wondering if this is a store policy. If so, I would like to suggest that at least one regular check out lane remain open. Self checkout is convenient for smaller purchases, but the small turnstyles and lack of bagging/loading help make in extremely inconvenient and cumbersome for larger purchases, such as mine."
I think you have a valid concern, but I think your letter is MUCH too long for a very busy manager to read and process and act on. Here's my suggested edit. I took out lots of detail that might not help the store make a better policy going forward.
I am a regular shopper at GroceryStore at Location. However, I was disappointed when I attempted to check out on DATE at 12:40 AM and the only lanes open were the self checkout lanes, and an employee, Mark, refused to open a checkout lane when I approached him with my full cart. He dismissed my concern that I would not be able to fit all my items in the small bagging area. I went ahead and checked myself out, taking at least 10 minutes to do so. I did have to awkwardly stack several bags and items on each other. At no time did Mark come back and offer to help. Instead, he stayed at the front, chatting with another employee. I am disappointed in this poor customer service and would like to know if it is company policy that only self checkouts are available at certain times/hours. If it is, I would suggest that this be posted prominently at the entrance. It would help customers make informed shopping decisions. I spent $247.76 on this shopping trip, and had 72 items. Having to check out this order myself was a major inconvenience, and I may not return to Store.

Lee Harvey Oswald
Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. Oswald was a drifter with a murky past; he had been dishonorably discharged from the U.S. Marines and then defected to Russia in 1959, only to be refused citizenship there and sent back to the United States. Oswald allegedly shot Kennedy with a sniper's rifle from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository as the president's motorcade traveled through Dallas. Oswald was arrested hours later in a movie theater, after also shooting and killing police officer J.D. Tippet. Oswald was never tried: two days later he himself was shot to death at Dallas police headquarters by nightclub owner Jack Ruby. In 1964 a special commission headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren decided that Oswald, acting alone, had shot and killed the president.
Oswald's wife, Marina, was Russian… The gun Oswald used to shoot Kennedy was a 6.5 mm Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle… Oswald was captured in the Texas Theater, where the movie War Is Hell (starring Audie Murphy) was playing.
