Honor killingskillings Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
It is shocking to see that in today's era when education and awareness has become the most integral part of human and societal development. Moreover, women empowerment and their role in every walk of lives have changed over the period of time. There are still such hideous practices that are being done in some parts of the world under the disguised name of honor killing and Pakistan being one of the countries which holds the highest rates of honor killings in the world.
Karo Kari another name for ignorance.
This name originated from the rural areas of interior sindh. It is being practiced in areas of Sindh such as Jacocabad, Sukkur, Khairpur, and Larkana along with other areas of Sindh and some places in Punjab. THE TRIBAL SYSTEM Pakistani society is rich with multiple cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Each of these cultures and people from diversified ethnic groups come from distinct backgrounds and live together hence they have their own traditions and customs which they have been following since years.
In the rural areas of Pakistan the tribal system still exists such as areas in the interior sindh. This is where the 'jirga' system or commonly known as the "panchayat" system exists. Under this system the rich and the influential class of the village tends to form a committee and takes decisions on behalf of everyone and the decision given by this group is bound to be accepted by every member of the society. They have their own way of judging the case and passing a verdict on that, they take their own time, they think over it and give the date for the decision.
The lower and the poor working class is suppressed under this system as they don't have any say in it and obliged to follow it. KARO KARI Karo Kari is practiced when the women of the family has brought dishonor to the family name by any means. This could be if the woman has any illicit relations with any man, or an extra marital affair, she could be a rape victim or even if she wants to get married to somebody of her choice she is brutally killed by one of the family members themselves in order to bring back the lost glory and name of the family.
It is not just this that an innocent women can be categorized as Kari and killed it is also when the family and the brothers want to keep the property and resolve land disputes she becomes a victim of this murder, for example if a man owes some money to a person and that creditor comes to his place in order to collect the money to his place from another village and stays over night. The person who owes the money would kill his wife next day and declare her a Kari so that he doesn't have to pay the money .
in this way the creditor would choose to leave without taking the money rather being declared as Karo and being killed. Similarly a man can be declared a Karo even if he doesn't have any kind of affair with a woman but he has any form of dispute with some other tribe and he'll be killed under the name of honor killing. These killings tend to have the most inhuman ways of torturing some one and sentencing them to death. They will bury the girl alive recently in one of the states of Sindh, Khairpur; a girl was thrown in front of dogs to be torn apart as an act of hour killing.
THE RISE IN THE NUMBER OF KILLINGS It is very depressing to see that the trend in the number of killings that has taken place due to this has increased over the years instead of dropping. It is estimated that over the last six years in Pakistan the number of deaths caused by Karo Kari have been more than six thousand which included around 800 men too, so it is not just women who fall for this, there are men too but their number is relatively lower than the women.
Different societies have different people and thinking therefore they believe what they are doing is the right way but this practice of suppressing the right of women and taking her right to live is a murderous crime and contradictory to the teachings of Islam. It is that barbaric evil of the society that has to be eliminated completely. Even worse is the fact that the rich and influential class tends to get away with this practice while the poor are helpless and they become the victim. THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
As far as the government and other NGO's are concerned then in the year 2004 there was an amendment made in the constitution which declared honor killings such as Karo Kari as equal to murder however, this amendment never came into practice because under another clause of the constitution it was stated that the accused can get away with the crime if one gets the consent of the family and in this case of Karo Kari the victims family itself is the one who are doing it therefore nobody can be put to trial as they don't appear in the police station.
It is the government's duty to look into this matter and they should have made an alteration in the other amendment so that this brutal practice can be put to an end, however no concrete step has been taken to curb this. KARO KARI IS UNJUSTIFIABLE Karo Kari is a cultural shock to anyone who belongs to a civilized, developed and educated society and would condemn it. it is a murder not a punishment there could be any other ways of punishing one for their doings but such act is not justifiable on any grounds, it is barbaric and takes away the freedom of speech and expression.
The dominating men in the "jirga" system have curbed the rights of women in these rural areas. It is actually the sardars who are the influential "waderas" who tend to encourage this practice as this increases their prestige in the society ,over that they get a compensation from the "jirga" too. Karo Kari is another name for ignorance, Islam has already restricted the Muslims and it has set punishments for the victim therefore any other act that is being practiced under its name is simply ignorance.
In Islam having an illicit sexual relationship is condemned and the accused is whipped not subject to killing. How can one justify the killing of a woman who has been subjected to rape? By declaring such a women Kari and killing her society is depriving the soul from getting justice and instead of taking her out of that trauma one is putting an end to her life. Why are women accused more then men in Karo Kari, it is not that men are more faithful then women it is just that women are weak in these areas and men are strong that is why they are able to get away with it.
These "jirga" have no right to take away the liberty to live from such people; they should work for the benefits of the society by coming to a conclusion on the basis of "shariah" not merely stay ignorant. Women are not property that their life is kept at stake to resolve land disputes. Moreover the killing is done in the most inhuman way. To bury some one alive, throwing her in front of dogs or to burn her alive is unjustifiable. Such practices were there in the olden days when there was no education and no awareness but it's shocking that it still exists in our society and nobody has done anything to put an end to it.
It is unjustly exploited by the feudal land lords and the elite class of the village who use Karo Kari to resolve their personal matters. One such incident took place when a native of interior Sindh came home after years of hard work from Dubai and brought money back home to start some form of business in his native land. He came in the eyes of the feudal lord due to his money and business. The opportunist wanted to trap him in the case of Karo Kari and he got the opportunity when the man by mistake prayed on the grave of some other women, thinking it to be his wife's grave.
The feudal lord took advantage of this and declared him a Karo; the man not only paid 15million to the land lord in order to save his life, he was kicked out of his home land and his business was taken away. There are many such instances when the influential people of the "panchayat" system tend to trap others for their own good and they use this practice of Karo Kari as a tool in order to get away with it. It is unfortunate to see that such murders are given the name of honor killings. THE URBAN AREAS VERSUS THE RURAL SETUP
The tragedy with these women lies in the fact that they are born in such a set up and society where they are considered as a burden on the family. Girls still cannot compete with the boys and neither can they express their opinion. Sons are preferred over daughters. Daughters are not encouraged to go to school or get exposed to the outside world. Therefore their thinking is confined to just one place. They are expected to do what they are asked for and nothing else. Lives in the urban areas are an extreme opposite view of this.
If one may not go far and compare with places in the similar province such as Karachi. The region is developed and modern. It is a cosmopolitan city and comprises of people from all caste, color and creed and they all share different cultures and languages and live altogether. Women here are educated and empowered like never before. They are independent, focused and know exactly what they want out of their lives. They are working as well as having a family and they are doing well in every walk of lives and competing with men.
They take their own decisions. The living and culture of these societies varies from the rural areas actually there is no comparison. The two societies share the same religion and language yet again there are differences of opinions and thinking process. The urban life of Karachi is mush more modern and liberal as they are adopting the western culture in their society. Apart from the right to go out or make money, women can dress up the way she wants, socialize, make friends and do whatever she wants to.
Girls are actually encouraged to go and study in co education and moreover sent abroad for further education and their families and relatives support them in this. In these urban areas there is no such thing as 'jirga system. Life is different here justice drawn through legal courts and with the help of police. A rape victim can go to the police and lodge a complaint against the culprit and she has the right to live and fight for her right and nobody can stop her. All kinds of disputes pertaining to property, ownership, marriage or anything are resolved through legal procedure in the courts.
After the age of eighteen years the girl and the boy have the right to choose her own life partner and get married to him legally. The concept of honor killings does not exist in these urban areas. This society has its own set of evils and drawbacks such as poverty, corruption, unemployment, terrorism. Women in urban areas are as influential and resourceful then men that they can not be dominated unjustly. Tribal system is a sign of backwardness and illiteracy and refusal to accept this fact is what is leading to what it is today.
These two societies have completely different set of values, cultures, traditions and norms that they follow. The living and lifestyles of these people are also different. In the urban areas there are also powerful and influential people who tend to subjugate the weaker class, however that is done in entire different way where the free will of everyone is not included like the "jirga" system where everyone is bound to listen to them? Life in the urban society has made men and women strong and independent that's the way they are brought up, whereas the tribal system has put them in a much weaker stand.
The practice of Karo Kari is a social issue and it can not come to an end until there is no change in the social structure of the society and in order to change to be there, there has to be awareness and education and the powers of the rich and the land lords needs to be curbed so that they don't exploit the common man who work for them as their slaves. It should not be encouraged but since it has been following from years and the people in the villages associate it as a matter of prestige and honor that is why is strongly accepted and being followed. It is not being used in villages to make easy money.
The men's of the family tend to kill their own daughter, wives and sisters ruthlessly in order to make easy money. it is actually depressing to see this that in today's time such type of unjust ways of killings are taking place by the wrongdoers and they are justified on the basis of honor killings. 60% cases of the cases of Karo Kari are reported to be where the accused were innocent and yet killed. Every society and every religion have their own set of limitations which are known to all. Yet again those are not being followed that doesn't mean that one can make use of it and exploit it on the basis of "ghayrat".
There are officials in the government who haven't done anything to stop this practice because they feel it is not wrong, not only men, there are women who are seen in the political setup who have the ability to do something, yet are not doing anything. There are different cultures and people living in one country and each of them have their own problems and drawbacks. Whereas in one province one woman can get married by giving a divorce to her husband and in the other society she is buried alive if she has her own opinion.
This tribal system has gone so worse that the people who live under it fear their death and therefore few try to escape and the ones who have money give that and get away with everything. Even if people try to escape these killings the villagers look for them and they kill them whenever and wherever they find them. Education is the key in all this that can reduce the gap and disparity among the two societies and give everyone the freedom to live as an independent citizen. ohou Key words Honor killings in Pakistan Karo Kari and the tribal system Women empowerment

Running Time: 761 minutes

Subtitles: Not available
Special Features: None
Well GOLLY! Another season of mishaps, mistakes and
most importantly: laughs. Jim Nabors stars as the
hapless good-guy Gomer Pyle in this hit spin-off of
"The Andy Griffith Show." The complete second season
release contains all 30 episodes remastered from the
second season and restored for your viewing pleasure.
Memorable Episodes / Notable Guest Stars:
Memorable first season episodes include "Third Finger,
Left Loaf" in which best man Gomer loses the wedding
ring and fears it's buried inside one of the 600
loaves of bread. "The Blind Date' in which Gomer's
date thinks he is a millionaire, thanks to Carter. "A
Visit from Cousin Goober" is the one in which Goober
pays a surprise visit and then slips into uniform.
"Gomer Minds His Sergeant's Car" in which Carter's car
is stolen and wrecked -- on Gomer's watch. "Grandma
Pyle, Fortune Teller" in which Gomer's fortune-telling
grandma predicts Carter's future. "Gomer and the Phone
Company" in which Gomer tries to give back $40 that
fell out of a pay phone and gets arrested. "Opie Joins
the Marines" is the one in which Opie Taylor runs away
from Mayberry to join the Marines. "Gomer, The Would
Be Hero" in which Carter lets Gomer take credit for a
heroic act so his girlfriend won't discover he'd been
cheating on her.
Notable guest stars the first season include Jack
Larson, John Napier, Ted Bessell, Dabbs Greer, George
Lindsey, Forrest Compton, Parley Baer, Ron Howard,
Andy Griffith, and more!
The set itself is in Paramount's new style of snap
cases (just picture a larger DVD case that your
typical movie comes in). On the front is a color photo
of Gomer and Carter, with the show's logo plastered on
top. The back of the box is your typical back of the
box and features some color photos as well as a
description of the series.
Inside the set, the five discs are spread out by
flipping through the case. Each disc is black in color
and features no artwork.
Disc 1 contains episodes 1-6. Disc 2 contains episodes
7-12. Disc 3 contains episodes 13-18. Disc 4 contains
episodes 19-24. Disc 5 contains episodes 25-30.
Menu Design and Navigation:
The menu is completely different from Season 1's menu.
The menu immediately pops up and features a shot of
Carter and Gomer (each menu has a different photo),
with a large clipboard next to them and the episodes
listed on the clipboard. When you select an episode,
it is as you are checking off and item on a
list...very simple. There is a "Play All" option as
well, of course.
Video and Audio Quality:
Once again, the video quality is very good for a show
over 40 years old ... and it is now in color! Hard to
believe but it's true! The audio itself is also fine,
so nothing to really be worried about. Chapter skips
are available and it appears each episode runs uncut,
averaging over 25 minutes per episode ... although
Episode 5 on Disc 1, "Gomer Untrains a Dog" runs only
23:19. It is probably edited for sure. Some other
ones are under 25 minutes, but they are all over 24,
so maybe they just ran short originally. The back of
the packaging says some music has been changed and
some episodes have been edited from their original
broadcast, so maybe those are edited.

Special Features:

Final Comments:
Wow ... what a difference a season makes! This release
has ZERO bonus features. What a BUMMER. After the
first season contained an amazing array of special
features, we get nothing this time. What a shame. I
also find it funny that last season was cheaper to
purchase but this season it is nearly $50...although
you can usually find it MUCH cheaper through
Amazon.com or other outlets. Despite this, this is one
of the funniest shows out there and vastly underplayed
on television these days. GOLLY, go and pick this set
up immediately just to continue your collection,
otherwise this set has definitely down in quality from
the first set.

But he did go to the trouble of giving me a Steve Bell penguin for my user image, so all is forgiven.

(5) Very affordable and they communicated well.
Had a broke spring, preventing my wife from getting kiddos from school. I called and they arrived with about an hour and knocked it out. Very affordable and they communicated well. Will be saving their info for all my needs going forward.

(5) These guys are great.
These guys are great. I called them to fix a broken garage door spring. After a scheduling mixup that was TOTALLY my fault, they showed up within 30 minutes after we got it straightened out. They fixed the broken spring for just over half what another guy quoted me, then lubed the door and did a couple of minor adjustments for free. For what it's worth, the technician said they also do appliance repair. I will definitely use them again when the need arises.
Jody Senter wrote on 23.05.2018
(5) We will certainly call them again.
We called Affordable Garage Door for help with a balky garage door. The service tech Tim arrived within an hour and made some adjustments, which took care of the problem. We were able to keep our afternoon appointments, and appreciated the prompt attention and the professional manner that Tim displayed. We will certainly call them again.

I love these guys like brothers... I highly recommend them.

(5) Affordable arrived on time.
I live in Portland, Oregon. The garage door wouldn't open all the way so she couldn't get her car out. She has limited mobility so was basically shut in without the use of the garage door. She had a terrible experience with an unscrupulous garage door company approximately 10 years ago and was scared to have another company she knew nothing about come to the house. I found Affordable Garage Door & Opener Repair on Yelp. Rick answered the phone on the first call. He said they could get out there the next day (10/28/14) between noon and 2 PM. He said it was most likely a spring and gave a firm estimate that was $35 less than I paid to have my springs replaced 8 years ago. My mother was thrilled with the service. Affordable arrived on time, fixed the door, explained everything to her, showed her the broken parts and "couldn't have been any nicer". Highly recommended by my mother (and me)

Easy going. Good price. The quality of their service is really amazing. I cannot believe they are that good at what they do. I will give them another try in the future.

(5) Excellent job.
Excellent job, customer service was fantastic. Colton was on time. Prices are very affordable. I would recommend to any of my friends
David K. wrote on 04.04.2018
(5) Very happy with their service.
Very happy with their service. I called another company first that had a sticker on the back of the garage door. They quoted me $400 to replace two springs. I inquired about a coupon and they brought it down to $340. I made the appointment but felt like the price sounded very high. I went on yelp and called two companies that had good ratings but nobody answered (about 8pm at night). Affordable Garage Door was my third call and Randy answered right away. The price was much better and he scheduled an 8-10am appt the next day, so I cancelled the other company. David came out the next day. It turns out I have a very heavy door so the price was about $30 higher than quoted due to needing larger springs, but that was fine with me. The total price came to $180 which was about half of what I was going to pay with the other company. After a couple of days I realized the opener was struggling a bit so I called and David came back out the next day to make adjustments. He ended up putting in an even larger spring (the door is VERY heavy). There was no charge for the second visit and everything is working great now. I would not hesitate to use them again! I think there are some sketchy door companies out there, but these guys seem honest and reliable.
Kevin W. wrote on 02.04.2018
(5) I recommend these guys.
Sat. morning woke up to a broken spring on garage door. Called Affordable Garage Door and by noon my older door was repaired and quiet! Keith came out and replaced the springs, and at my request replaced the worn metal rollers with nylon wheels, changed out the end bearings and center bearing (all were beginning to eat into the spring shaft) and gave it a tune up....all for what I would have spent on just the springs somewhere else. No upsell, Keith even told me how to fix a couple things myself, saving me a nice chuck of change. I recommend these guys. Kevin
James T. wrote on 19.03.2018
(5) Thank you for the very good service.
We called at 9:00 Am for our garage door spring had broken. They said a service man would be there between 10 and 12. Marcus got here at 11:50 AM and by 12:30PM he had the garage door repaired. I would call them again. Thank you for the very good service.
Bill N. wrote on 02.03.2018
(5) This one is great!
Garage door would not open so I called these guys. It is a family owned business so one of the owners came to my home. He quickly diagnosed the broken spring and gave me a very fair estimate without a bunch of add ons. I agreed and he quickly cleared the area of the garage so nothing would get damaged and he completed the repair. I would highly recommend this company, they give very good service at a fair price. There is another company with a very similar name, I have no experience with them so I can not say if they are good or not but be careful not to confuse the two, this one is great!
Kevin J wrote on 08.01.2018
(5) They did a really great
They did a really great in fixing our broken garage door. The service is definitely professional and the people who work for them are courteous and knowledgeable about what they do. It was an outstanding job.

(5) Rick arrived on time.
A spring on my garage door was broken. The door was not operational. I placed a few telephone calls regarding price and timing for repair. I selected Affordable Garage Door and Opener Repair because of the least expensive price and fast availability. Rick arrived on time. The door was fixed within the hour. Rick also made some minor adjustments to the chain mechanism of the automatic door opener. The service could not have been better. That afternoon, my wife arrived at home from work and drove her car into the garage, Normalcy was restored. Thank you, Rick

Had a garage door spring break. Called Affordable Garage Door. They were able to come the same day. Rick arrived and finished (including some extra work we had done) when he said he would. Very professional and a good price. Would recommend him to friends and neighbors.
Andre B. wrote on 17.11.2017
(5) Didn't try to find any reason to charge more
Rick runs an honest family business. He charged the $141 for the Garage Spring repair that he was asking for on the phone and didn't try to find any reason to charge more. In fact he replaced some cheap plastic bearing with a steel ball bearing without charging me extra for that. Our original home manufacturer had originally just put in one spring due to the fact that it saves them a few $, which Rick replaced with 2 Springs.
Vineeth P. wrote on 07.11.2017
(5) Marcos the guy!
Marcos the guy! I had received 3 or 4 quotes and everyone said the door had to be replaced since the parts for Amarr Stratford 1000 are not being manufactured anymore. The lowest quote was for $660 to replace 4 panels. Marcos straightened the damaged lower panel and installed a strengthening strut all in 90 minutes and for less than $300. Works fine and we're relieved and happy and satisfied!

(5) ROB showed up on time.
Of course our garage door broke in the UP position. On a Holiday. Called Affordable and got a call back within the hour (yes, on Labor Day). Agreed to 2pm next day (they would have come sooner, my schedule was the problem.) ROB showed up on time, cheerful, helpful and efficient. Calmed my fears about a replacement and within an hour we were repaired and restored to full service. Too bad he did such a good job we will probably never need him again!

(5) The kind you wish you'd see more of these days
Had a spring snap on my garage door and called Rick to get it taken care of. We set up a time window to get it done and he showed up right on time, even called ahead. Great customer service, price he quoted over the phone is what it ended up being, and he did a great job. I also appreciate that he used his expertise to point out the few worn out items as well as offer some maintenance tips for my garage door. Great local business, the kind you wish you'd see more of these days.

I would definitely recommend this company. I had asked for several quotes and as promised Rick's was the cheapest. He fixed my garage door spring in 30 minutes. I really liked his professionalism.. and best part he didn't push me for any additional repairs. Thanks Rick... I now have him on speed dial.. And will definitely recommend him to family and friends.

(5) What a relief they came over on time.
I called a few different garage door places got a couple of quotes, precision came over and tried to rip me off!!! And then luckily I called these guys, what a relief they came over on time, fixed my garage to like new and charged me a hell of a lot less than what I would have paid anywhere else. I would highly recommend them, it sucks to have to spend money, but it's doesn't feel so bad spending money when you know you paid a great price and got it done right.

(5) Pricing very good compared to other outfits
Tim came out same day, as my cars were stuck in the garage due to a broken spring. We have heavy wood doors and he was a life saver. Even looked at our 3rd car garage for me that was broken too. Will use them for installation on new doors soon as well. Pricing very good compared to other outfits....5 stars

The spring on my garage door snapped and my car was trapped in the garage. I called Affordable Garage Door Repair. Rick Lane was there within two hours of my call. He was very professional and had my door repaired within 30 min. Upfront pricing with no surprises! Highly recommend!

(5) I would heartily recommend him to anyone
Our garage door suffered from excessive wear and an unfortunate (albeit minor) collision with one of our cars. Rick answered my telephone call after 2 rings, and came to our house the next day. He accurately diagnosed the problems, and promptly repaired the door at a very reasonable price. I would heartily recommend him to anyone needing garage door repair!

(5) The technician was friendly and very helpful
We had just sold our home in Peoria, AZ and in the midst of packing and moving everything out to be taken out of state. Wouldn't you know--two days before closing the old garage door opener starts giving us fits! We desperately called around to find a company that could come quickly and repair the problem before we turned over the house. Affordable Garage Door came the very next day and replaced the opener quickly. The technician was friendly and very helpful--gave us options to replace the mother board only (which wouldn't connect to the mounted openers on the outside and inside of the house or replacing completely and leaving us with an intact system. That is what we did and we could leave our house to the buyers in good conscious. Thanks for bailing us out in a stressful period!

(5) INCREDIBLE turnaround time
I called earlier in the week, spoke to the owner Rick, regarding my sensors getting confused with the sun. He suggested to try raising them myself first to see if it would resolve the issue without them coming out (admirable). Unfortunately, raising the sensors did not make a difference and I decided to call back today to ask for a call out. Rick answered my call and said we can have someone there within 2 hours, no same day fee, no emergency fee, nothing. I said great! As I was expecting to have to make an appointment for a few days later in the week. Less than 10 minutes later, I received a phone call from Tim, who let me know that he is on his way and should be there within 30 minutes. Tim arrived in ample time, and immediately replaced the sensors, while also swapping which side was transmit and which side was receive. The receive side was originally getting the sunlight, so that was the root of my problem. Tim also thoroughly examined my garage door, including tightening some screws and also testing the door multiple times to make it as quiet and efficient as possible. My garage door is now much less pressurized when going down and up. He also (at a cost), replaced the bearings on my door, as they're probably at least 15 years old (original when home built in 2001). Very nice guy, wonderful experience, and best of all, INCREDIBLE turnaround time. Garage door problems? These are the guys to call. Thanks Rick and Tim!

(5) Professional quick response
My spring broke at 11pm on Wednesday night - of course with my vehicle in it. I called at 6:45am the next day because it said open 24/7 and got voicemail. I left a message and figured I'd hear from them with in a couple hours. I called and spoke to another company who in the mean time bad mouthed this company when I told him I was waiting to hear back from them. To me that wasn't professional for them to do that and made them look bad in my opinion. While I was wrapping up my call with them saying I would call if I didn't hear back from affordable, rick called. Rick had me on the schedule that same day from 9-11 and gave a quote which was super reasonable to replace both springs for just $141. Robert and Orlando showed up at 10am and were in and out within 45 minutes. They were both very nice, addressed all my questions and assured me of my concerns. Despite what this other company said I am happy I didn't listen to him and went with affordable. Springs look like they are good quality and larger than the ones that were on there to support the door I have. Thank you affordable for your professional quick response to free my car from my garage so I could get to work! I will definitely keep your number for future garage needs and recommend you to others.

After my garage door came off the track on a Saturday afternoon, I needed to have it fixed right away. I called a few other companies that couldn't come out until Monday. The last call I made was to Affordable Garage Door, and they were more than willing to help, they couldn't make it on Saturday, but setup an appointment on Sunday morning. The tech came within the stated time. He had the door fixed within an hour, at a very reasonable price. I will definitely call them again if I have anymore garage door issues.

(5) This company is amazing
This company is amazing. They just saved me over $ 700. Let me tell a short story. I am a new first time homeowner with very little experience in home maintenance. Last week, my garage door wasn't opening. So I called a big company that had a ""coupon"" for a $ 90 service check. The technician came out, said I needed new everything, quoted me over $ 1000 to repair, and said he could try to cut the price down to $ 700. I wanted to do some research, so I paid him his $ 90 service charge and went online. Next I called the Affordable Garage Door & Repair company. Rick answered the phone immediately and set an appointment that worked with my schedule, on the weekend. Kenneth just left my house, after charging $ 0. He showed me where the other company completely, flat out, lied to me about my motor setting. He explained every part of my garage door, springs, motor, and drums, and why nothing needed replacing. And he even at no charge, lubed the spring - which the other company didn't even do! Even when I tried to show my appreciation by giving him a tip, he waived it away as unnecessary! Truly, this is a fantastic company, I will definitely bring all my garage door issues to them for the next 20 years, and I will tell everyone I know about how they were honest, trustworthy, and saved me a ton of money.

(5) Good enough for me!
They gave me a 2 hour window and missed it. BUT he did call and tell me and apologize so to me no harm no foul. The guy got down to business. I wanted a tune up and lube. He told me he could lube everything but if I wanted to squealing to really stop, upgrade the rollers. I asked how much (in fear). After taxed $86 (total). The Tune up alone was going to be $50, so to me it sounded like a great deal! Took him about 20 minutes. Right as he is finishing he asks me to come out. He says "have you ever had trouble closing this door because your safety eye is out." I think, Oh here we go. This is where he hits me with a ton of made up work and my bill will double. Instead he looks around and pulls a few wires. He finds a horrible splice job the previous person did. There was exposed copper wire. He quickly spliced it CORRECTLY and covered it with electrical tape, no charge. He told me he thinks I have close to another 5 years on my springs. But just in case he gave me the cost upfront so I know what to expect. Two springs would be 130 plus tax. I found many companies online where that was the price for one and that didn't include labor. These guys are a no nonsense, small operation. I would deal with them anytime. You know what you are getting, no hard sales, no B.S. Good enough for me!

(5) He completed the job in under an hour
When our garage door torsion spring broke over the weekend, we knew we needed to find a good garage door repair company to help us fix it, but dreaded the potential cost. We quickly found these guys on Google, and were immediately attracted by their low advertised prices, so we knew how much we'd be spending (and their prices were far lower than we'd anticipated). I called at 8am on Monday morning, and their technician, Tim, was at my house in 45 minutes (15 minutes early for our appointment window). I was very impressed! Tim is a nice guy, who walked me through exactly what our garage door needed. The bearings on the end of our door's torsion bar also needed to be replaced, and Tim showed me the evidence of how worn they were, which I appreciated. I had him replace the bearings as well, and when all was said and done, he completed the job in under an hour. I highly recommend this company, and I will be calling on them for all of our future garage door needs. Tim also let me know that their B&M location carries parts, so if you want to DIY anything, they can help as well!

It was nice that there was no upselling but simple recommendations to replace the rollers on the door as they were worn out which he said could be done anytime. In all I would refer them to anyone needing excellent service and fair prices.

(5) Is in my experience nothing less than excellent
From time we called about our garage door that was not working this morning including the rapid response we received by the servicer technician that arrived at our house within 2 hours after we called. He found the problem right away, which was a broken spring and related loose cables. He had all perts needed in hos truck. Replaced the torsion spring with a new one with a lifetime warranty, adjusted the cables also included lubrication and tune up of the tracks etc. He noticed that there was friction between a couple of panels of our (old) garage door creating drag. Suggested adding a support strut above that specific area across the width of the garage door would eliminate that problem. I asked him to install that and he tightened up all the all the bolt nuts accross the entire door. All was done within one hour. The cost for all was very affordable. For customer service, timeliness, professionalism, communicating with customers about the problem, to stating the costs prior to customer giving the OK to proceed...Is in my experience nothing less than excellent.

This can be a player from any English league. Remember to include persuasive vocabulary so the FA takes your suggestions seriously:
Dear Chairman,
In my opinion, my November POTM is Raheem Sterling (currently playing for Manchester City). Raheem Sterling has been playing great for these couple of months and definitely deserves to be one of the players shortlisted. As well as assisting goals, he's been scoring lethal goals and has been a reliable first team RW. Surely everyone has to agree with this nominee. He's 22 years old, which means that he's got years of potential to overcome. Raheem Sterling an England/Man City RW deserves to win: If not, then people must be MAD! He's fast, strong has excellent vision, dribbling and has brutal shots. This man cannot be stopped and he might even win BPL Player Of The Year trophy. This man is just pure talent and has skills for days. He has bags of class and confidence.
Dear Mr Chairman,
My player of the month has to be Mohamed Salah. This is because, he has been performing well all season and has showed off his talent more than he has at some of his previous clubs, for an example: Chelsea, at Chelsea he only got 2 goals in 13 appearances whereas, now he is top goalscorer in the EPL and this is a huge improvement. Who knows, he may join our club in the future.

Total Transportation Services Inc. (TTSI) has taken delivery of a "zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric Class 8 truck," as part of a plan to purchase 100 of the vehicles from Vision Industries Corp.
TTSI plans to use the truck to shuttle freight containers from port terminals at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to rail yards and other distribution facilities in the area.
"Today we celebrate the birthplace of the hydrogen economy and zero-emission transportation," said Martin Schuermann, CEO of Vision Industries. "This partnership between the ports and private industry has brought tangible results that will lead to cleaner air and green jobs in California."
TTSI is a national asset-based logistics provider. The effort is part of the Ports' Technology Advancement Program, which aims to encourage the commercialization of clean goods-movement vehicles and equipment.
TTSI will operate the Vision truck—which is trademarked as the Tyrano (and built off a Freightliner model) under typical short-haul conditions at the ports for the next six months. The electric truck uses a battery recharged by a hydrogen fuel cell that generates electricity from a reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. There is no combustion and no air pollution, pointed out Vision, and "pure H20 is the only byproduct."
Powered by a 536-hp. engine creating 3,300 lbs.-ft. of torque, Vision calls the Tyrano "the superior drayage vehicle." The company said that with standard H2 fuel tank configuration, the truck can cover 200 mi. - 400 mi. with an extended configuration - over an eight-hour work shift, while emitting no carbon, no carcinogenic particulates and no noise pollution.
"Above and beyond the benefit of zero emissions, we at TTSI believe that hydrogen fuel is the only true way to break our dependence on imported fuel," said Vic La Rosa, TTSI president. "Hydrogen is the most abundant resource on the planet."
Back in 2008, eight Kenworth T800 liquefied natural gas (LNG) trucks operated by TTSI became the first alternative-fueled vehicles to operate in full-time drayage service at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
"I'm very pleased that the ports can play a role in developing and testing this new technology through our Technology Advancement Program," said Susan E. Anderson Wise, Long Beach Board of Harbor Commission president. "This is a promising and exciting new technology. We're all looking forward to seeing how it performs on the docks."
"Success requires collaboration, and that's what you see here today between the ports, private industry and government agencies," said David Arian, vice president of the Los Angeles Harbor Commission. "This is not pie-in-the-sky technology. It's rubber to the road and we're moving forward."
Upon successful testing, Vision said TTSI plans to move forward with a Letter of Intent for the purchase of 100 vehicles at a purchase price of approximately $27 million. The Letter of Intent also gives TTSI the option to purchase an additional 300 trucks, bringing the total contract value to approximately $108 million.
TTSI, based in Rancho Dominguez, CA, operates full-service drayage, rail service and warehousing for full container and LCL Shipments from the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, San Diego, Norfolk, and Seattle/Tacoma
Vision Industries is a developer of zero- emission electric/hydrogen hybrid powered vehicles and turnkey hydrogen fueling systems. Vision noted that its proprietary electric/hydrogen hybrid drive system "combines the superior acceleration of a battery-powered electric vehicle with the extended range provided by a hydrogen fuel cell."

I recently made a great discovery. It's possible many of you know about this already, but it was news to me… Citronella plants. These plants from the geranium family are pretty, smell good, have scalloped leaves with lavender flowers, and act as a mosquito and fly repellant.
In the past, we've used citronella candles on our back deck to try to keep mosquitoes away. I believe it helped, but the scent was too much for me, causing wheezing and coughing. (Why is it when we try to resolve one problem we end up creating another?) Anyway, while at the Herb Day sale recently, I discovered there is a citronella plant with a pleasant, lemony aroma. We had a gathering on our deck and placed four small plants down the center of the table as our centerpiece decorations. It was a cool evening, but I was not bothered by mosquitoes at all and they usually LOVE me!
In doing some research on the citronella plant, I found other useful information. If you add a pinch of purchased citronella oil to unscented lotion and apply to your skin, mosquitoes and pesky flies will stay away. To make a liniment for repelling flies and mosquitoes, place four ounces of dried citronella leaves into a pint jar and fill with isopropyl alcohol. Allow mixture to sit for three days, strain, and apply to skin. (There are strict instructions not to drink this blend… um, common sense, please).
So, try the non-chemical, natural, good-smelling way of repelling flies and mosquitoes… Citronella plants.
Strive to be healthy!

Here are 10 different types of Sex your girlfriend secretly wants from you!
Guys think that it is difficult to understand a girl's mind. When it comes to sex and intimacy, knowing what turns on a girl instantly is as unknown to guys as the location of G-spot. In any relationship, love, trust and intimacy are equally important, so let us try to make it less tough for our boys.
Time has come to remove the curtains from the types of sex your girl secretly wishes for.
Tell him, girls! Surprise her, guys!
Sex which starts with the most passionate and long kiss.
Sex where you want her as soon as you lock the doors of the house.
Sex which ends with lots of hugs and cuddles.
Sex which is full of aggression (if you know what we mean).
Sex where you can't handle to be loud enough to enjoy the pleasure.
Sex which is initiated in the bed and ends in the bubble bath tub.
Sex with multiple orgasms, yes, she is missing that!
Sex which she initiates and becomes the queen in the bed.
A quickie is on her mind, trust us.

Keep the strong momentum going for streetcar line
The proposed streetcar line linking Sacramento and West Sacramento has passed a significant hurdle, but even bigger ones stand directly ahead. To keep this important project on track, supporters can't let up.
Property owners, who would pay a tax assessment to help fund the $150 million project, gave it a resounding vote of confidence that is also a show of faith in the future of downtown Sacramento. In mail balloting completed Tuesday, owners who would be on the hook for nearly 68 percent of the $30 million bill over 30 years voted "yes."
While the vote was merely advisory, streetcar backers pledged not to move ahead without a positive result. It gives them a big boost as they seek $75 million in federal grants to pay half the construction cost, and as they prepare for the official vote in May to create the tax district.
Without those approvals as well, the project won't stay on schedule.
Federal officials are strongly considering the $75 million request – as long as the local match is in place in the next several months, The Bee's Tony Bizjak reported this month. Last month, the Sacramento City Council chipped in $7 million. West Sacramento has committed $25 million. The state is being asked for $10 million and Sacramento County another $3 million.
That leaves the $30 million from the tax assessment district. The City Council is scheduled to take the next steps this coming Tuesday night, including setting the special election. Starting May 4, ballots will be mailed to about 3,800 registered voters who live within three blocks of the proposed line in downtown and midtown Sacramento. To win approval, two-thirds of ballots returned by June 2 must be marked "yes."
It's not a slam dunk that voters – even though many don't own property and wouldn't directly pay the assessment – will support the project. In the final results released Thursday, a majority of property owners who returned ballots actually voted against the assessment – 282 no to 239 yes – but they were outvoted by larger developers who would pay more.
The "yes" margin would have been even wider if developer David Taylor, a streetcar supporter who would pay one of the biggest assessments at about $56,000 a year, had marked his ballot before mailing it.
The streetcar line would stretch 3.3 miles from downtown West Sacramento, past Raley Field, across Tower Bridge, through old Sacramento, to Sacramento Valley Station and the downtown railyard, past the arena being built at Downtown Plaza, along K Street by the Sacramento Convention Center and end at 19th Street in midtown.
The plan is for the line to be up and running by late 2017. There are still many issues to resolve. Just to list a few: Will suburbanites and Kings fans who otherwise shun mass transit get on board? Will it attract enough visitors and other riders so the operating subsidy isn't too large? How would it work with Regional Transit and vehicle traffic?
For now, however, after nearly a decade of stop-and-go, the streetcar project has real momentum.

First Beer Experiences – Matthew Curtis
Matthew Curtis is an award winning freelance writer and photographer and UK Editor for Good Beer Hunting. He is the co-author of The 365 Best Beers in the World and has contributed to several publications including: Ferment, Belgian Beer and Food and The Brewers Journal.
When did you have your first taste of beer?
I need to break this down into a few parts, because I've had a number of beer moments in my life but these are perhaps the most memorable: My first proper beer was a bottle of Beck's aged 14, I have a liberal Dad who allowed me to drink at home, with a meal, as a young teen but this beer was pretty inconsequential all things considered. Aged 17 however, he let me try a beer called Duvel. The classic Belgian opened my mind up to just how complex beer could be, but it was a complexity that I couldn't quite interpret back then. In my early 20's Dad and I had a session at our village local, The Bottle & Glass in Scothern, Lincolnshire. The beer we drank was Landlord, and that changed me into a proper beer drinker. Again, I admired its complexity without really understanding it. But when you're drinking pints of bitter as part of a great session, in a great pub, you don't really need to either. Many years later, in 2010, I'd have my first Odell IPA in the brewery taproom in Fort Collins, Colorado. That was a beer that changed the way I thought about beer forever, it was bright, bold, bitter - beer in technicolour. Thankfully, beer experiences like these are a regular occurrence nowadays.
What was your impression of beer before then?
Beer was what Dad drank, and as a young teen I wanted to drink what my dad was drinking. I had little interest in the cheap cider and vodka my mates were drinking down the park. I wanted what was in Dad's fridge. Thankfully he also wanted to let me try it. I don't think I really ever enjoyed beer until I was about 19 or 20, but those formative experiences ensure I appreciated it all the more when I finally got my head around it.
What was your reaction to that first sip?
A deeply unpleasant, bitter, and skunky/lightstruck taste. Thankfully I've come a long way since then. I'm glad I was able to have those experiences at home, it certainly gave me a head start as a beer fan.
How have your thoughts about beer changed since then?
Immeasurably. Every day I struggle to reconcile what I think beer should be and what it actually is. Because in modern brewing, with hundreds of new and historical styles within arm's reach, beer can be pretty much whatever it wants to be. In that respect, I very much doubt a typical teenager's first experience of beer will be anything like mine, because that beer could be one of so many different things.
What beer would you recommend to someone who wants to try it for the first time, and why?
Modern pale ales are a perfect way to introduce someone to beer - something like Beavertown Gamma Ray or perhaps a Thornbridge Jaipur. They're the kind of beers that encourage you to take another sip, piquing that first shred of interest in a compellingly wide world of flavour. But everyone tastes differently, and it's important to remember that, because it means you still have plenty of opportunity to convince someone they're a beer fan in waiting in case you don't get it right the first time.

About The Active Mgmt Team
The American author, Neal Donald Walsch said, "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." And I would follow on with, "Sometimes you need support at this point."
G'day I am Justin, not that I am called that these days. Most people refer to me as JT (although I cannot dance anything like the real JT!).
I am that annoying 'pebble in your shoe' guy who will just keep annoying you with a challenge until you do something! I know that to create change in your business and life, you have to be challenged (probably why you are even on our website) then discover a few solutions (probably why you are checking out multiple fitness business coaches & consultants) until finally settling on the best solution (why you will click on 'Contact me').
And if you don't find a solution to that challenge, you'll keep doing the same thing and getting the same result, defined as insanity by Einstein.
So I drive my team to present multiple business solutions for you.
I am a solopreneur who has not worked for somebody since 1993! I ran a personal training business for 173 and a half days; was a membership consultant and club manager for the industry guru Jamie Hayes; a club owner for 15 years and industry coach and speaker since 2012.
Thanks to my time in student politics and then representing industry issues in the various peak bodies in Australia, I have learned the skill of diplomacy and being politically correct – NOT!
I speak with passion, candor and with no agenda other than making your business better. I hope you like honesty as I call it the way I see it.
Actually I do have an agenda: get people healthier through activity so we can reduce the world's health care costs! If we do that then the world can spend their money on resources that will make it a better place for my daughter Zoe and one day her grand children.
And I reckon if I can help you get more members and keep them longer, then I am helping you achieve your goals too.Contact JT
Stacey Hurley – Mystery Shopper Captain
Hi my name is Stacey and I am living a great life on south coast with my 3 kids and prison officer husband – so stay on my good side – and if you think working with you as a Mystery Shopper client will be hard, think again. I have worked with Justin since 2002 – just kidding boss!
Seriously, when you get to know me, you'll realise I am the best person to help you with your Mystery Shopper program:
I followed the sales scripts and was one of the most successful and longest serving Team members at Active.
- I know what should be said, when it should be said and why it should be said.
- I can identify what areas need training and be as specific as you want.
- I have 3 young kids, which makes managing my national team of mystery shoppers a walk in the park in comparison!
In 2002, I begged Justin for a membership sales job after realising I am destined to do more than just teach aerobics. I am sure he only gave me an opportunity because he was desperate for a membership consultant! And he said "Just follow the scripts I teach you and I guarantee you will be successful!"
"What a tosser!" did run through my head, so I figured stay here and learn. Damn you Justin, you were right, those scripts and the system work.
I was so good at my job, I was promoted to run Active Health Club where I chose the people I wanted on my Team, the uniforms I wanted them in and even the hours I wanted to work – Justin still chose what to pay me! Damn you again Justin!
I have to admit, I was pretty happy! Even after having a baby I travelled over an hour to and from work. Until Justin sold the club – an end of era and an end to my autonomy.
Now, I have my home office and manage over 200 mystery calls a month with 20+ shoppers with a goal to ensure everyone who calls or visits your fitness business will get the answers they need to make a decision to start an exercise program.Contact Stacey
Chantal Brodrick – Compere of The Fitness Business Podcast
Hi I am Chantal and for years I have cracked the whip with my personal training clients, now I crack the whip with my personal training business owner clients!
I survived the turmoil of launching a business in 2008 and am still working as a personal trainer – is that some sort of record?
I understand all the challenges of personal trainers:
- Paying rent to a club – been there done that!
- Finding clients to join my boot camps – been there done that!
- Designing marketing pieces that work – been there done that!
- Maintaining financials – been there done that!
- And 'those' conversations with partners about working too early, staying too late & not earning enough – do that regularly!
You don't really want to know my pre-fitness career – boring – suffice to say 'corporate!' I worked in high heels and regular hours for over a decade in various roles including National Sales Manager at Pacific Publications and Marketing Communications Manager at Adstream. This gave me a foundation of professionalism – a key attribute many trainers miss!
Now, I teach classes (lots of them), have a few boot camps, train clients and lots of PTBizCoach work! I have re-written the Australian Fitness Network e-course for Certificate IV in PT; compared our podcasts and webinars; and do hands on training with individual trainers and company trainers.
So give me a buzz or click on the button and lets get your PT business profitable.Contact Chantal
Alicia Boulton – Organising Captain
If you want Active Management to do anything for you, forget JT, Stacey or Chantal. I am the one that makes things happen . . .
Hi I am Alicia and after 20+ years in office management, I thought I had seen it all! Then I started working with Active Management in 2010 and these guys keep innovating, designing and stretching my skill set – all in a good way!
As a client, you just need to know that what we promise we deliver or I get my butt kicked! I ensure that everything is delivered on time and in a manner you can use with minimal issues – I never say no issues, as I don't want to over promise.
I work from home so it took me 3 years of working with JT before I even met him! I spend lots of time emailing and skyping the Active Team and managing the online marketing and websites for Active Management, The Fitness Business Podcast and Justin Tamsett.com.
I have built my dream house with my husband and 2 kids in Kinchela, NSW on the mid north coast. I have the perfect balance of work & life – so long as these guys don't keep on coming up with new things for me to systemise!Contact Alicia
Jess Greentree – Membership Leader
Hi my name is Jess, I'm a Newcastle girl through & through, currently living in Lake Macquarie with my husband & our 2 children. If you've ever trained at a gym in Lake Macquarie, you've probably seen me training there or working there at some stage – I'm a bit of a gym get-around! Although, since having kids almost 3 years ago, my training sessions are little few & far between these days.
I have been working in the gym industry for the past 9 years, as a membership consultant, personal trainer, I ran my own personal training business for a short stint in there, before becoming a club manager. I still remain in a part-time sales role with Anytime Fitness in Warners Bay where I have been since the club opened almost 7 years ago.
I am also your Membership Leader. I will be one of your first points of contact with Active Management. I am here to help you get onboard & active online with us, point you in the right directions, & to get you as much value out of your membership as possible.

JT is a master at what he does & you get exactly what he says he's going to deliver for you. Get onboard the Active Management bandwagon guys, its only getting bigger & better!!Contact Jess

Day 87, July 23, 2012 (Between Parry Sound and Killarney, ON): Our plans to overnight on the hook in Hopewell Bay were dashed when our generator sucked in a bunch of weeds and burnt up its raw water impeller. That took us into Pointe au Baril and Desmasdons boatyard for the night. This is a nice little place literally "up the creek." They cater mostly to small boats with outboards that whiz in and out of the creek at high wake regardless of the docks, and close by, too. "An impeller for an 11.5 kw genset! We don't hardly see those." Captain Andy gets honorable mention for scrounging. He found a look-alike part while I kicked back waiting to install the thing.
Pointe au Baril (Point-a-barrel) gets its name from this uncommon channel marker. Before the modern spar buoys that are hard to pick out mariners used anything that could be seen from a distance. This barrel atop a prominence marks the channel up the creek. It is kept as a reminder but has been replaced by a modern lighthouse.
On to Byng Inlet where there isn't much except cottages and cottagers. Oh but getting here is not for sissies with the southwest wind howling off of Georgian Bay.

Former DeLand High golfer Billy Anderson is not afraid of anything, his junior college coach says -- especially the wind.
While powerful gusts undressed his closest competitors on the final day of the junior college men's Division I championships last week, the Brevard Community College freshman shot a cool 2-under 70 to win the title by four strokes.
"He's very tenacious in everything he does," Brevard CC coach Jamie Howell said. "He's fearless. We haven't found anything Billy's afraid of. Everything he does he attacks."
The freshman shot a 5-under 283 at Odessa (Texas) Country Club to become Brevard's first national golf champion since another DeLand alum -- Jacob Davis -- won it in 2004.
Anderson entered Friday's final round one shot back after shooting a 5-under 67 in the third round, the only non-windy day all week.
While the other leaders were unraveling in the dry, windy conditions, Anderson collected back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 to put the title out of reach.
"I stayed solid in all of the rounds," said Anderson, who never shot worse than bogey on any hole through four rounds. "I never lost a ball the whole tournament. If you focus on every tee shot and get it in play, you're not going to get those big numbers. That's been my strength lately."
Confidence has never been a problem for Anderson, but his self-assurance took a gigantic spike upward three weeks ago when he shot 69 in a local U.S. Open qualifier at Orlando MetroWest to advance to the sectional qualifier June 6 at Quail Valley in Vero Beach.
"I played really well (at the qualifier), and I was able to keep that going into nationals," said Anderson, who is from Deltona.
On Monday, he shot even-par 72 at Southern Dunes in Haines City in the first of two rounds of a qualifier for the U.S. Public Links Championship. The second round is today.
"He's kind of a sneaky player," said Victoria Hills golf pro Matt Payne, who's also the golf coach at DeLand High. "He can move it out there a good ways without making it look like he's hitting it that far. He has an incredible wedge game and a very good short game -- he has great imagination around the greens."
Anderson, The News-Journal Boys Golfer of the Year in both his junior and senior seasons, did not play many junior golf events outside of Central Florida and thus wasn't well known by college recruiters, Howell said.
"He's one of those kids who fell through the cracks," Howell said. "He was a good student and he had some junior golf success, but he wasn't a superstar."
That could be changing.
"He doesn't have any weaknesses in his game at all," Howell said. "The only thing he needs for his game to get better is time."

Rush Truck #2 was a Model "A" Ford with a 300 GPM pump & 200 gal. of water.
Truck #3 was built by Rush members from a wrecked 1931 Ford coal truck donated by Rush Oil Co. A 400 GPM front mounted pump and water tank was installed by RFD members.
In 1947 a Federal – Buffalo 500 GPM pumper with 400 gal. of water was put in service. We still have that truck today and use it in parades and antique musters.
In 1953 a GMC "Young" high-pressure (1,000 PSI van-pelt pump) pumper/tanker (1,000 gal. of water) was bought. Rush members installed a 500 GPM front mounted pump for drafting and moving more water.

Number 1 Reason To Stretch As You Work Out
This article tells you about Number 1 Reason To Stretch As You Work Out. There are varying opinions on this topic, but I say you should definitely stretch between your workout sets. Let's see what's the number one reason for stretching as you work out, what more it has to offer and one petty disadvantage.
Number one reason for stretching is, very simply: to prevent injury & soreness (or is it 2?). While doing stretches, you help your body flush the lactic acid out of your muscles, a by-product of glycolysis (producing energy for movement). It's like flushing the toilet after taking a dump, if you don't — you feel awkward the next time nature calls (analogy for fatigue in muscle, intervening with proper gym sessions) and eventually all the smelly turds pile up until there's no room for more and you can't answer nature! (Analogy for injury — can't work out anymore.)
Another benefit is expanding the range of motion, as you gain muscle, unless you stretch, it will become harder and harder to scratch your back — as if it wasn't the hardest thing in the first place!
A drawback is that apparently you lose some explosive power, something like 2.5%. Nothing to worry about, the advantages outweigh by a long shot. Explosive power is what influences explosive movements, like benchpresses, pushups, …
A good enough reason to stretch in general, not only when training, is that it freshens you up. Especially in the mornings, when after a long night's sleep, your muscles are tense and contribute to an overall feeling of fatigue / sleepiness.
