So is this one :
The guy in the first picture is selling padlocks for tourists to attach to the railings on the Accademia bridge. A victim of his own success, he's having to rearrange all the locks on that stretch as best he can in order to try and make room for a few more. He probably has a permesso di soggiorno, although it's unlikely that it says that he's in the country to make a living by defacing a national monument.
The man in the second picture is writing his name and that of his partner on a padlock. When this is done, he'll fix it to the bridge and throw the key into the Grand Canal as a symbol of their undying love.
It leaves wide stretches of the bridge looking like this :
This supposedly started in Rome some years back, inspired by the film Tre metri sopra il cielo, but now seems to be little more than a herd instinct encouraged by the abusivi on the bridge. This is tourism at its most stupid and ugly. It is no different, in essence, from spraying "West Ham is a Poof" on the wall of a pub toilet.
There has been a bit of vigilante action where local citizens have started trying to remove the locks by themselves. But it's laborious, difficult work and bolt-cutters are not easy to use - you can end up damaging both yourself and the structure. The responsibility should lie with the city itself. But what's the point in doing it if they'll just build up again within weeks?
There's the occasional clampdown by the police. A recent one was celebrated as if they'd succeeded in recovering a stolen Caravaggio instead of twenty-five padlocks. The deterrent effect of this lasted less than a day.
I don't know why this annoys me so much. Perhaps it's the thought that the chance to visit this city should be seen as being among the greatest experiences that life has to offer, and not just like a visit to a tacky theme park. The difference, of course, is that if you were to try anything like this in Disneyland Mickey Mouse would kick your arse within minutes.

Two MA-Sen items of note this morning. First, Elizabeth Warren is on the air. Her campaign has released a 30-second ad that will be running statewide starting today. It references the cost of student loans – a hot issue right now, because the interest rate on student loans will double from 3.4% to 6.8% on July 1 if Congress does not act, and Warren is separately running a petition to keep that from happening. It's an interesting strategy – not the fuzzy, soft-focus "get to know me" ad that one might expect from a first-time candidate, but rather, one that delivers some very basic biographical info while also concisely delivering her basic economic message. Here's the ad:
And in other MA-Sen news, WBUR's Morning Edition has a report from Fred Thys on how Warren's former students at Harvard Law see her. The bottom line: they all love her – even the conservatives. Thys reports that he spoke to about 60 former students, and that he made a special effort to reach out to students who could be expected not to share Warren's political views, such as members of the Federalist Society and law clerks to Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. Yet he could not a find a single student who didn't think Warren was an excellent professor.
The story isn't posted in WBUR's website yet; I'll update when it is. Here's the story. Money quote:
We reached out to more than 60 people, and we tried in particular to reach out to conservatives — members of the Federalist Society and former law clerks of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. We could not find one former student with anything negative to say about Warren.

Applications Compensation Management Implementation Guide
11g Release 1 (11.1.2)
Part Number E20376-02
This chapter contains the following:
Geography Hierarchy: Explained
Geography Structures: Explained
Geography Structure, Hierarchy, and Validation: How They Fit Together
Geography Validation: Explained
Zone Types and Zones: Explained
Zone Hierarchy: Explained
Geography hierarchy is a data model that lets you establish conceptual parent-child relationships between geographies. A geography, such as Tokyo or Peru, describes a boundary on the surface of the earth. The application can extrapolate information based on this network of hierarchical geographical relationships.
For example, in the geography hierarchy the state of California is defined as the parent of San Mateo county, which is the parent of Redwood City, which is the parent of the postal code 94065. If you enter just 94065, the application can determine that the postal code is in California, or that the corresponding city is Redwood City.
The application leverages geography hierarchy information to facilitate business processes that rely on geography information, for example, tax calculation, order sourcing rules, sales territory definition. The geography hierarchy information is centrally located in the Trading Community Model and shared among other application offerings.
The top level of the geography hierarchy is Country, so the hierarchy essentially contains countries and their child geographies. Other aspects of the geography hierarchy include:
Geography type
Geography usage
Master reference geography hierarchy
User defined zones
A geography is a boundary such as a country, state, province or city. It is a physical space with boundaries that is a defined instance of a geography type. For example, San Jose is a geography of the City geography type.
Geography types are a divisional grouping of geographies, which can be either geopolitical (for example, City, Province, and District) or user defined (for example, Continent, Country Regions, Tax Regions).
Geography usage indicates how a geography type or geography is used in the application. A master reference geography always has the usage of Master Reference. User defined zones can have the usages of Tax, Shipping, or Territory, based on what is relevant for their purpose.
The geography hierarchy data is considered to be the single source of truth for geographies. It is all the data, including geography types and geographies, that you define and maintain in the Trading Community Model tables.
The geography usage for the entire hierarchy is the master reference, and defined geography types and geographies are considered as master reference geography types and geographies. For example, Country is a universally recognized geography type, and United States is considered a master geography.
User defined zones are a collection of geographical data, created from master reference data for a specific purpose. For example, territory zones are collections of master reference geographies ordered in a hierarchy. Tax and shipping zones are collections of master reference geographies without a hierarchical grouping.
A geography structure is a hierarchical grouping of geography types for a country. For example, the geography structure for the United States is the geography type of State at the top, then followed by the County, then the City, and finally the Postal Code.
You can use the geography structure to establish:
How geographies can be related
The types of geographies you can define for the country
You can determine how a country's geographies are hierarchically related by creating the hierarchy of the geography types in the geography structure. When you define a country's structure the country geography type is implicitly at the top of the geography structure, and the numbering of the subsequent levels start with 1 as the next geography level after country.
You must add a geography type as a level in the country structure before you can define a geography for that geography type in a country. For example, before defining the state of California, the State geography type must be added to the United States country structure. Only one geography type can be used for each level, you cannot define more than one geography type at the same level.
After you first define a country structure you can only add geography types below the current lowest level, and delete geography types without defined geographies.
To simplify the creation of a country structure you can copy a structure from another country, and then amend the geography type hierarchy for the country.
The application provides you with a set of available master reference geography types. If required, you can create a geography type before adding it to the country structure. Each geography type is added below the current lowest level.
If you want to delete a geography type that is not at the lowest level in the country structure, then you have to delete the geography type level and all the levels below it.
A geography type that you create within the country structure can be used for other country structures as well.
There are three components that are dependent on each other when defining a country: geography structure, geography hierarchy, and geography validation. Every country has to have the geography structure defined first before the hierarchy can be defined, and the geography hierarchy has to be defined before the validation can be defined.
Firstly, you need to create a geography structure for each country to define which geography types are part of the country structure, and how the geography types are hierarchically related within the country structure. For example, you can create geography types called State, City, and Postal Code. Then you can rank the State geography type as the highest level within the country, the City as the second level, and the Postal Code as the lowest level within the country structure. Geography structure can be defined using the Manage Geographies task, or can be imported using tasks in the Define Geographies activity.
Once the geography structure is defined, the geographies for each geography type can be added to the hierarchy. For example, below the United States you can create a geography called California using a State geography type.
As part of managing the geography hierarchy you can view, create, edit, and delete the geographies for each geography type in the country structure. You can also add a primary and alternate name and code for each geography. A geography hierarchy can be created using the Manage Geographies task, or can be imported using tasks in the Define Geographies activity.
After defining the geography hierarchy, you need to specify the geography validations for the country. You can choose which address style formats you would like to use for the country, and for each selected address style format you can map geography types to address attributes. You can also select which geography types should be included in geography or tax validation, and which geography types will display in a list of values during address entry in other user interfaces. The geography validation level for the country, such as error or warning, can also be selected.
Geography validation determines the geography mapping and validation for a country's address styles, as well as the overall geography validation control for a country.
The No Styles Format address style format is the default address style format for a country. By defining the mapping and validation for this format you will ensure that validations can be performed for any address in the country. After the No Styles Format is defined you can set up additional mapping for specific address styles.
For each address style format, you can define the following:
Map to attribute
Enable list of values
Tax validation
Geography validation
Geography validation control
For every address style format, you can map each geography type to an address attribute. For example, you can map the State geography type to the State address attribute for the United States, or map the State geography type to the County address attribute for the United Kingdom. The geography types that appear are based on how the country structure is defined. The list of address attributes that appear are based on address formats delivered with the application, or your customer defined address formats.
You only need to map geography types that you want to use for geography or tax validation purposes.
Once a geography type is mapped to an attribute, then you can specify whether the geography type will appear in a list of values during address entry in user interfaces. It is very important to review carefully if you want to enable a list of values. You should only enable a list of values if you have sufficient geography data imported or created for that geography. Once you have enabled a list of values for an address attribute, you can only select the geography data available for the geography type. This means that if a specific geography value is not available in the geography hierarchy, you cannot create an address with a different geography value.
You can also specify whether a geography type will be included in tax validation. For example, for the United States North America address style format you specify that County, State, and City are used for tax validation. This will mean that when a transaction involves an address with the North America address style, the address must have the correct county, state, and city combination based on the geography hierarchy data, to be considered valid for tax calculation.
You can specify whether a geography type will be included in geography validation. This will mean that, for example, when the user enters a United States address using the North America address style format, the address must have the correct country, state, and postal code combination based on geography hierarchy data to be considered geographically valid.
If an address element is mapped to a geography type, but not selected for geography validation usage, then suggested values can be provided for that address element during address entry, but that element is not validated.
For either the tax or geography validation, do not skip more than one consecutive level unless you are certain that the selected geography types can uniquely identify geographies. For example, the United States country structure is: State, County, City, and Postal Code, and you want to select just State and Postal Code for geography or tax validation. However, for the combination of California and 94065, the city can be either Redwood Shores or Redwood City. In this case, you should also select at least the City geography type for geography or tax validation.
You can select the geography validation level for a country. Validation will check if the entered address maps to the geography hierarchy data available for the country, and the geography validation control determines whether you can save an address that did not pass validation during address entry. For example, if the validation level is Warning, then an address can still be saved if the values do not match the geography hierarchy data.
These are the geography validation levels you can choose:
Error - only completely valid addresses can be saved, with all mandatory address elements entered.
No Validation - all addresses can be saved including incomplete and invalid addresses.
Warning - invalid addresses are saved after warning users.
Regardless of the result of validation, the validation process will try to map any address attribute to a geography of the country, and store any mapping it could establish based on the available data. This is called Geography Name Referencing and it is executed as part of validation. The result of this referencing is used in several business processes in the application to map an address to a specific geography or zone.
You can create zone types and zones for the use of defining boundaries to be used in, for example, tax or shipping zones.
In order to create a zone boundary you need to define the following:
Zone types
Zone types categorize and group zones together, for example, the zone types of Income Tax and Shipping Regions.
Zone types need to be created before you define a zone for the geographical boundary. You can create a zone type which will contain geographical boundaries from anywhere in the world, or you can create a zone type that will only contain geographies from within a specified country. When you create a zone type that is bounded by a country you can define which geography types or geographies you will be able to choose when you create a zone.
After you have created the zone type click Next and you will be able to add zones. Zones are geographical boundaries for a zone type, for example, the San Jose Tax zone. Zones are based on the master reference geography hierarchy data.
Zones are created within a zone type, and you can associate geographies to define the zone. For example, for the Shipping Regions zone type you can create a West Coast zone which has the state of California as one of its geographies. Within a geography you can specify a postal range. So for the state of California, for example, you can specify that the zone spans from postal code 90001 to 90011.
Using the territory manager zone hierarchy you can build a zone hierarchy by creating zones and zone types, and by adding master reference geographies. The zones, master geographies, and hierarchies can then be used, for example, by Territory Management to define a sales region or geographical boundary that is allocated to a salesperson.
In a zone hierarchy you can do the following:
Create zone types
Create zones and add to a hierarchy
Move zones or geographies
Add geographies to a hierarchy
When you are creating a zone you need to specify a zone type. Zone types categorize and group zones together, for example, an APAC zone type. You will need to choose if the zone is part of an existing zone type, or if not, then you will need to create a new zone type. After you have created or added a zone type to the zone you can enter the zone name, the zone code name, and the zone's effective dates
You can create zones to describe geographical boundaries, for example, the Singapore Sales zone and the Southwest Sales Region zone. Zones can be placed below another zone or geography in the hierarchy, and geographies can be placed below a zone.
You can move existing zones or geographies into your hierarchy. You can select the zone or geography you want the zone to appear below, and then select an existing zone that you want to move. The zone and all its child records will appear below the zone or geography you selected.
You can create a hierarchy using the geographies from the master reference geography hierarchy data, and you can also add geographies to hierarchies created from zones.
When you are adding a geography to a hierarchy you have the option of either adding just the geography, or you can add the geography and selected child geographies. All the child geographies you select will automatically be added to the hierarchy, and will reflect the master reference geographical hierarchy. For example, when adding the United Kingdom geography to a hierarchy you can select that all the counties and postal codes will be added. When the hierarchy is generated the counties will be the level above the postal codes.
You cannot have the same geography in more than one hierarchy.

What a terrible time to be trying to sell a bank, or least part of a bank. Poor old António Horta-Osório, chief executive of Lloyds Banking Group, is in this awkward position. Some 632 branches must go under orders from Brussels. The Lloyds boss says "credible" bidders have expressed an interest but one wonders if their fundraising arrangements will still be credible by the end of the year, when a sale must be agreed.
This thought contributed to the 10% fall in Lloyds' share price. So did higher than expected impairment charges in the wholesale bank. And so did Horta-Osório's own gloomy comments about a period of only "modest" growth in its markets for "several years". The long-term argument for buying Lloyds shares remains: as the market leader in UK retail banking, it should make a shedload of money one day. But long-term is suddenly extending over the horizon.

text: Betty White rocks not only because she is one of the most successful women in the history of entertainment, having been active and working for more than six decades, but because I always get the impression that she hasn't taken one moment of her success for granted. She often describes herself as the "luckiest broad on two feet". She's smart, classy, and hilarious. She's an inspiration to me as a Wannabe because she seems so grateful for her success. I think we've all heard seemingly clueless, successful people in the biz who seem to think their success is totally deserved and their star will continue to rise indefinitely (one starlet, who shall remain nameless, seems to think starring roles in summer blockbuster grow on trees so she doesn't have to actually "try" to be good at what she does). There is often a very fine line between great success and nine to five-ing it for the rest of your life, no matter how talented you might be. So cheers to a classy lady who deserves her success and is grateful for every moment oof it. GOOD LUCK ON SNL TONIGHT, BETTY!

Edward Warren, Esq. was commonly called "Stag Warren", on account of his great size and strength. He was born May 10, 1605 and baptized May 19 according to the register of Wood Plumpton. He married Margaret, daughter of Henry Arderne of Harden near Stockport. She died April 20, 1644. Edward's first child Ann, baptized January 21, 1626 and married in 1650, Edward, son and heir of Richard Holland of Denton, Lancashire, she died at Stockport November 23, 1668. Second child John who succeeded to the estate. Edward's third child Humphrey came to Maryland by 1657 and is our first Warren ancestor in America. However, Dr. Watson's account states Humphrey was "brought up as a merchant, went to the West Indies where he married and died without issue about 1680" (page 147 Vol. ii Memoirs of the Ancient Earls--). But now it is generally accepted Mr. Charles Browning account in his Americans of Royal Descent "West Indies" in those times applied to Virginia, Maryland, and even New England. The date of Humphrey's death, 1680, was simply the last date friends in England heard from him. The fourth child Henry was born December 18, 1635, was rector of Stockport, and was buried there May 6, 1674, having married Catharine, daughter and heiress of Leonard Clayton of Blackburn. The fifth child Charles born March 28, 1637 and buried at Stockport January 27, 1645; sixth Edward born 1639 and died 1676; and twins Radcliffe and Posthumous whose mother died at their birth April 20, 1644. He married secondly Anne Hough, widow of Humphrey Booth of Salford. No issue resulted. She was buried May 31, 1662, at Stockport. By his will dated Jan 26, 1663, he founded the almshouse at the east side of the old church yard at Stockport and was buried under the arch on the left side of the communion rails in the parish church on September 10, 1687.

By Miguel Rivera
The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has ordered a purse bid for the mandatory defense of the world lightweight champion Miguel "Puppet" Vazquez of Mexico, who the sanctioning body is ordering to face Panamanian Ameth Diaz. The purse bid takes place on the 16th of July at IBF's headquarters in New Jersey. Vazquez previously decisioned Diaz over twelve rounds in January 2012 in Mexico.
In his last appearance, Diaz won by knockout in the seventh round over Martin Gethin, in an IBF elimination bout, which raised his record to 32-11 and 23 KO's. Vazquez fought for the last time, last December in Las Vegas, where he successfully defended his title, beating by a twelve round unanimous decision, Filipino challenger Mercito Gesta. Vazquez has a record of 33-3 and 13 KOs.

Two Toledo cousins accused of robbing two carryouts Thursday evening and fleeing in a stolen vehicle appeared Friday in Toledo Municipal Court, authorities said.
Dominic Vasquez, 26, and Nico Vasquez, 18, both of 1207 Peck St. each were charged with two counts of robbery and one count each of receiving stolen property.
They remained in the Lucas County jail in lieu of $50,000 bonds.
Police said a man walked into a Sunoco filling station at 1625 Miami St. about 10 p.m. Thursday, told the clerk he had a gun, and demanded money.
He fled to a waiting vehicle after the clerk refused to give him money, police said.
The clerk reported the vehicle s description and license plate number to police.
About 30 minutes later, a man entered Circle K at 1444 West Alexis Rd., said he had a gun, and demanded money.
Police officers responding to the scene observed the vehicle matching the description of one used in the Miami Street robbery attempt, stopped it at Sylvania and Walker avenues, and arrested the two suspects, a report said.

Now, the next big question is "When do you move in?". I so wish I could say something like, "tomorrow!"...but it's going to be more like 4-6 months. Why you ask? Well, our house was built in 1958 and the lovely family we bought it from has lived there for 53 years. 53 years! And done nothing to the house...and even though it's absolutely in pristine condition (seriously. It's amazing), it is still an older home. And since we plan on spending the next 20 to..oh say, 50 years there, it's easier to do most of the updating before we move in.
We LOVE the all original Eichler. We really do. The paneling, the cabinets, the floors. It's all fantastic. Stepping into our house is like stepping right into 1958. But the electrical needs upgrading. And there's no insulation in the walls. And there's asbestos in the floors. And (as you'll see in the photos) we want to open up the space between the kitchen and what is now the living room (soon to be dining area). Etc. We could move in tomorrow and be perfectly happy, but seeing as these things will need to be done eventually...now is really the best time.
On to the photos!
Our Eichler (!!!) is 4 beds and two baths, with this sort of bonus area when you walk in from the garage:
The current living room, which is separated from the kitchen/family area:
My absolute favorite part: the atrium. That's the front door in the back and my office with the sliding doors:

Master bath:
Hallway (that's the atrium behind that floor to ceiling window):
Emilia's bathroom (and yes, that's a door that opens to the side yard):

Guest room:
And my office!
Man. I love this house.

Housing authorities + quality afterschool: a sustainable model for public/private partnership
By Sarah Watson
Local housing authorities represent ideal partners for community-based afterschool providers. Often, housing authorities can provide on-site facilities for afterschool programs, while community-based afterschool providers can offer trained staff and curriculum. A Boys & Girls Club and housing authority in Southern California recently entered into a partnership that continues to reap rewards for the local community.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica (BGCSM) has created a sustainable partnership model intended to strengthen communities and meet the needs of local students. In 2011, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) reached out to BGCSM to gauge their interest in taking over out-of-school-time programming at a public housing community—Mar Vista Gardens (MVG)—when a lack of sustainable funding meant that the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks and HACLA could no longer offer programming to resident families. MVG is the third-largest public housing site in the city of Los Angeles and struggles with high crime and poverty rates. The community includes more than 600 students who, before BGCSM's arrival, did not have access to engaging learning opportunities in the hours after school.
According to Aaron Young, president of BGCSM, the partnership with HACLA and MVG appeared to offer an exciting new opportunity for the club, but BGCSM needed to ask the following questions before accepting HACLA's proposal:
- Does the proposed partnership fit BGCSM's mission?
- Can BGCSM afford to undertake this partnership?
- Does BGCSM currently have the necessary resources? If no, where could they obtain them?
- Do the families in the MVG community even want a Boys & Girls Club?
Two of the greatest challenges facing this new partnership included the presence of gangs and some initial apprehension felt by MVG residents. In response, BGCSM redoubled their community outreach efforts and engaged in listening to residents' concerns without judgment. States Young, "we sat down with the gangs, and with mothers, children and other local service providers to discover what was working for them and what wasn't, what hours of operation would fit their lifestyles, and their hopes and dreams for the community."
Nearly one year after the new facility at MVG opened its doors, BGCSM's outreach efforts have paid off. More than 500 young people have registered as members at the program, and the spirit of community has blossomed. Many ingredients went into the success of the MVG public-private partnership, with the most important elements being:
- The Right Partners: HACLA and the Community Corporation of Santa Monica (CCSM), a nonprofit, community-based corporation that owns and manages affordable housing, were the perfect partners for building a sustainable model. Each party brought unique skills and resources to the table that, when combined, created a working whole.
- The Right Executive Director: BGCSM conducted a nationwide search for an executive director to lead the MVG branch. The individual chosen came from a Boys & Girls Club in Boston and has the confidence and ability to deal with all of MVG's different constituencies, including its gang members. She then hired staff from within the MVG community and set club hours that work for children, families and residents.
- The Right Facility: The MVG building was the appropriate size and has excellent amenities, including two baseball fields. In addition, the building has an ideal location within walking distance of two elementary schools, a middle school and a high school.
- The Right Preparation: A large part of building a sustainable model was doing the necessary research and then laying the groundwork, including getting buy-in from both the public and private sectors. It is essential to forge relationships with city officials, school districts and other local youth-serving agencies and then strategically position the new program as filling a resource gap.

Three Ways to Help You Meet that Down Payment
09/06/2013 Jordan Blakley
Why Use PennyMac?
- More than 1 million customers
- Innovative solutions to purchase or refinance
- Competitive rates and superior service
The thought of purchasing a home may often seem out of reach. With student loans to pay back and credit card debts to settle up, many buyers wonder if they'll ever accumulate enough money to meet that 20% down payment. Fortunately, there are alternative fund sources available for cash-strapped borrowers.
Here are the three of the most common ways homebuyers obtain money to satisfy their down payments:
1) Gift of Funds
A gift of funds from a friend or family member can be a great option for those struggling to make their down payments. In fact, gifts of $13,000 or less need not even be reported to the Internal Revenue Service — hooray!
Just keep in mind, lenders typically require benefactors to sign a "gift letter." This document will detail the gift amount, the relationship between the donor and the buyer, and the address of the home being purchased. This form will also certify that all gifted funds will not be subject to repayment (i.e. you do not have to pay your friend or family member back). In addition, your lender may also request proof of funds from the donor, such as a bank or stock statement.
Most important, be certain to consult with your lender regarding allowable down payment sources, as guidelines vary based on loan program. For example, most lenders will not acknowledge a gift as valid if a donor is listed as a seller, real estate agent or home builder.
2) Employer Buyer Assistance Programs
Many organizations, such as universities, municipal agencies, and corporations, offer home buying assistance programs to employees. In fact, some companies even offer relocation assistance programs in job packages to help attract top-level recruits.
To see if your employer offers similar down payment assistance plans, we suggest speaking with your Human Resources representative.
3) Borrowing Against or Cashing Out of Your 401k
Do you have retirement money in a 401k account? If you answered yes, you may want to consider borrowing against or cashing out of your 401k to help satisfy your down payment requirement.
Typically, most lenders suggest homeowners consider borrowing against, rather than cashing out of a 401k. Why is this? Well, when a buyer borrows against his 401k, he will not be subject to any taxes or penalties (unlike the cashing out method). Additionally, a borrower can take out as much as a $50,000 loan from his 401k — now that's a lot of dough! Just keep in mind, however, that a borrower will have to pay some interest on this loan type.
But if you're still leaning towards cashing out of your 401k, make sure to read all of the fine print before signing on the dotted line. For example, most regulations state that when a long-time homeowner cashes out of his 401k, he will incur a 10% penalty fee for early withdrawal — yikes! However, if a first-time homeowner cashes out of his 401k, he will not incur a 10% penalty fee for early withdrawal. Therefore, make sure to review all documentation for withdrawal stipulations before committing to this cash-out alternative. This will only help you better determine if this fund source option is right for you.
Words of Wisdom
To make sure you choose the best down payment option, be sure to speak with your mortgage professional regarding allowable fund sources. In addition, carefully study all options and review your decision with a certified public accountant, poker, or U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) counselor.

The Mariners are struggling at the plate. They have a hard time luring sluggers to Safeco Field. Fans are tired of boring baseball.
Why don't they just move the Safeco fences a little closer?
Seattle's ballpark has one of the biggest outfields in major league baseball. The center-field wall is 405 feet from home plate, the left-field alley is 390 feet and right field is 387 feet.
That makes it a great stadium for pitchers but tough for hitters, especially those who bat right-handed.
The Mariners, meanwhile, have a fairly good pitching staff but have been lackluster at bat — to say the least. For the past two seasons, Seattle has been the worst offensive team in the majors.
Might it be worth sacrificing a little effectiveness on the mound for a bit more effectiveness at the plate?
Sure, over a 162-game season, opponents would hit and score more against the Mariners. But the Mariners would do the same. Would you rather watch them lose 3-1 or 7-3? The latter, at least, would make for more exciting baseball.
Moving in the Safeco Field fences would likely do just that.
Even Jack Zduriencik, the Mariners' general manager, told 710 ESPN Seattle radio this week that the team has talked about the idea a few times.
Sports talk-radio hosts Brock Huard and Mike Salk have taken up the cause on their show, launching a "campaign" to advocate moving the fences. They sure stirred the pot, getting many passionate responses from their listeners.
Which made me curious about you seattlepi.com readers. What do you think?

Recent views about 'hot money' from troubled countries in the region pushing up house prices in Dubai has been contradicted by leading real estate brokerage firms in Dubai.
The increase in prices is purely because of demand and there are no signals about any bubble in the making, they say.
"It is premature to talk about another bubble in the making at the moment," Charles Neil, Chief Executive Officer at Landmark Properties told Emirates 24|7.
Prices of villas in the popular Emaar community, The Springs, have gone up by 20-30 per cent in the past six months.
For example, a 4M which was going for around Dh1million is now being advertised above Dh1.3million these days and a 3E has gone up fromDh1.7million to nearly Dh2million.
The spike in prices leads us to the question of whether property is again appreciating too fast? Do these figures indicate another bubble in the making?
"No" is the answer of real estate brokers.
"We always predicted in our research that villa prices would be the first segment to recover because there was a finite supply of villas with very few deliveries of new villas taking place after 2012.
"The other reason why there is a higher demand for villas is that it is still the preferred lifestyle for the majority of families with children who come out to live in the UAE," said Neil.
"I do not feel there is a bubble developing, but I do see signs of prices climbing due to the mechanics behind supply and demand. Dubai has a certain quantity of good stock and The Springs for the most part are good stock as are other select properties around Dubai.
"As these properties disappear from the market, those still available will appreciate in value as their quantity decreases. Prices have been appreciating over the last 12 months on select properties.
"People have now realised that prices on certain stock have dropped as far as they are going to go and now they are moving on these units," added Tom Bunker, Investment Sales Consultant, Head Office at Better Homes.
Realtors believe that 'hot money' may not be the factor pushing up sale prices. A lack of trust in financial institutions and the belief that real estate gives returns overtime are drawing the attention of many investors.
"Investors are tired of trusting banks and are falling back to real estate once again. Dubai has always been an interesting real estate market and it is a market that seems to have caught the attention of investors once again," said Bunker.
"Typically in the real estate cycle when prices bottom out (which appears to be the case with villas) sellers who were selling in the down cycle with a view to buying back in when the market picks will no longer do so and withdraw their properties from the market.
"Furthermore, those investors who have been able to hang on will also try and hold for longer if they see prices rising.
"This tightening up of supply being offered for sale has been apparent for the past six months and agents are scrambling around to find villa inventory. Owner are being emboldened because they start getting lots of calls for their villas and are now not willing to negotiate on the price.
"Thus, a good part of the increase has come from the bid/offer gap narrowing. I feel, therefore, what is happening is typical of the sharp corrections you get when prices bottom out , but once these prices have bounced back you go in for more normal levels of price increase thereafter," explained the Landmark expert.

FC Zenit St. Petersburg are poised to reach the UEFA Cup semi-finals for the first time after they produced a wonderful performance to defeat Bayer 04 Leverkusen 4-1 in the first leg of their last-eight encounter at the BayArena.
Second-half goals
Dick Advocaat was forced to watch from the stands as he served the last part of a three-match ban, but the coach will have appreciated his side's deadly counterattacking as they picked Leverkusen off almost at will. Although Stefan Kiessling cancelled out Andrei Arshavin's early goal, Zenit always looked the more dangerous team and ran out deserved victors thanks to second-half strikes from Pavel Pogrebnyak, Aleksandr Anyukov and Igor Denisov.
Arshavin threat
The Russian champions made the more assured start and Arshavin, switching flanks intermittently with Viktor Fayzulin, provoked danger almost every time he touched the ball. The skilful Russian international saw his right-wing cross intercepted by Karim Haggui on ten minutes, before moments later linking up with Pogrebnyak whose left-footed strike was deflected wide. René Adler then had to dash off his line to save at the feet of Konstantin Zyrianov, but the Leverkusen custodian could do nothing about Arshavin's superb 20th-minute goal. Collecting a loose pass from Tranquillo Barnetta, the playmaker glided past Haggui on the right, surged into the box and drilled a powerful shot high into the net from a tight angle
Leverkusen response
The breakthrough sparked an immediate response from Leverkusen, and in particular from Barnetta, who seemed determined to atone for his mistake. Vyacheslav Malafeev reacted quickly to push the Swiss international's low drive around his post, then Theofanis Gekas headed the subsequent corner from Barnetta over. Gekas was struggling to make an impact, yet he had a hand in the equaliser on 33 minutes, crossing from the right for Bernd Schneider to head goalwards. When Roman Shirokov cleared off the line, Kiessling was on hand to fire low into the net.
Pogrebnyak goal
Kiessling's seventh goal in this season's UEFA Cup brought him level with Pogrebnyak and Luca Toni at the top of the scoring charts, only for Zenit's powerful frontman to temporarily take an outright lead seven minutes into the second period. With Leverkusen committing numbers forward, Arshavin found space on the left and timed his low centre perfectly for Pogrebnyak to roll the ball into an empty net. Zenit continued to break with pace and precision, and as Leverkusen searched in vain for a way back, they were punished with two more strikes in the space of four minutes.
Monumental task
Anyukov had already seen one fierce attempt parried by Adler when, in the 61st minute, the adventurous right-back let fly a dipping cross-shot inside the far post from 25 metres. Denisov then got in on the act, latching on to Pogrebnyak's through ball and slotting clinically past an exposed Adler. Sergej Barbarez, Hans Sarpei and Lukas Sinkiewicz were all introduced, but Leverkusen rarely threatened in the closing stages and Denisov might have added a fifth, shooting wide with the goal gaping. Michael Skibbe's men now face a monumental task in Russia next Thursday.

SummaryThis game disappointed me... FHP OUT!
The GoodUse of the gamepad was intuitive, music and sound effects are well designed. I've heard multiplayer is good, but I don't play well with others so I wouldn't know.
The BadUse of the gamepad was counter intuitive during fight sequences in that you need it to switch weapons, and for a game that punishes you for dying, it's spiteful to put you in a powerless position for even just a moment, all while trying to cover yourself on the fly with no ammunition.
In general the controls are just terrible. Let's face it, the gamepad is basically a tablet computer in your hands, and with the controls it brings your arms far enough apart that you have to get used to playing with it as if it were a standard controller and there is a comfort level you have to find in this configuration. That being said, L3 for running was truly a bad idea as L and LZ are just below it, and were constantly disrupting my progress. I had to mentally remember to keep my left index finger snuggly under L so I didn't accidentally trigger it or LZ while running, especially during the circus time trials, which are forced on you when you just think you're getting a hang of the game. The option to invert look on the game pad was a glaring omission, as I'm an old school gamer and have always used flight-sim style controls on my FPS's. Mentally switching between the two view formats was such a headache that I literally re-programmed myself to play with standard controls. It's been an adjustment that has literally re-defined how I play games now.
Graphics are substandard, with poor textures and a garish "looking through a dirty car window" aspect to them. Because of this I truly wasn't scared, feeling as if I was watching some animated Zombie movie where poorly rendered dead things were being thrust at me.
Zombi U is blessed with at least one horrible programming snafu, such as when I was locked in a safe room in Buckingham Palace and was unable to do anything but quit my game and lose all my progress. Load times are also questionable.
Logic seems to be an option in this world, as you are left with nothing when you reincarnate and you start at level 1, but your weapons retain their upgrades and you always have a pistol and a bat. Additionally, zombies are typically lumbering unfocused creatures. Regardless of this fact, in Zombi U they keep up with you at an irritating rate, even when you run. They might as well be alive.
Disappointing character development puts a damper on the emotional draw of the game. The Prepper seems to be in his own little world, eventually falling under the illusion I'm working against him. The doctor in Buckingham Palace has an interesting flare, but his character is so undeveloped that we don't really care when his predicament comes to a dead end. Finally there are these spoken messages throughout the game that are intended to engage the player in the evolution of the "Blight", but they seem more like sprigs of parsley on a dinner plate; sure you can eat them but they are hardly satisfying. All of these factors augment the feeling that you're not interacting with anything, just running around bashing Zombies.
While I don't mind the next aspect so much, game play has been compared to Metroid where you backtrack for additional items and clues, and Zombi U is all about retracing your steps. But at least Metroid has tight controls that give you a fighting chance and doesn't compound the punishments if you don't play the game a specific way, such as this game where if you fail to survive during the final sequence, your shortcuts are removed.
While you're free to travel almost anywhere in London, I would have suggested a better chronological flow to the game, where we experience the passage of day and night, such as in Skyrim. I think this urgency to get under cover when night falls would have added an amazing dimension to the game, but time seems to be a prisoner along with us, where it's always night or always day depending on where you're at.
Some have said the game should be looked at as true survival horror but even the original "Resident Evil" gave you a save system to fall back on, Zombi U gives you a learning curve for wrapping your head around the idea that you are playing a body, not a character, even though they all have names. If they die, you can move onto the next one so having any feelings for these automatons is pointless. Yeah, it probably looked good on paper, but I think just like the lack of connection with the Prepper, all of these elements enhance ones indifference to the experience, and it totally works against the game.
A challenge for many and I do respect that, Zombie U is definitely a game that will monopolize your mind and give you plenty of work to do to get through it, but it could easily have been put on a mobil device and called "Bash the Zombies" and would have been just as effective.
Some have also said that you shouldn't have preconceived ideas about what this game should be, and assume those of us who don't like it are expecting a traditional FPS rather than a unique survival horror experience. I argue that I'm pretty open minded about gaming experiences, but in this stage of gaming technology we have a right to expect a $60 game to be fluid, varied, logical, bug free with a lot of content, and Zombi U is NONE of those things. Thanks to Ubisoft it never will be, and honestly I think my biggest peeve is Ubisoft's willingness to abandon this title even though it clearly has a strong fanbase, of which I was one for a short while. Correcting their programming errors with proper updates and perhaps offering one DLC package would have been nice, but they have declared this one DOA, and so should we.

It has become apparent to me that if I'm going to write about sex and relationships for Playboy, I should start having more sex and do my best to avoid relationships. I've never joined Tinder because it just sounded gross. A friend suggested I sign up for Bumble because the women initiate the chat. This level of control appealed to me. I set up my profile and was off and Bumblin'.
The first thing that struck me was the speed of the decision and the finality of the swipe. I felt like a queen. Do I spare him? Or send him to the gallows? These micro-decisions are all based on four to six pictures, an age and a bio that isn't more than 300 characters. You basically have four seconds to make an impression, and that's only if I decide to look past your first picture; otherwise you have one second.
I started noticing patterns, trends and things that turned me off instantly. Before you get all "stop with the male-bashing, woman"—I can't see the women's profiles, but I know for a fact there are annoying things all the women do as well. For example, I am sure all us women love to travel and if we have been to Phuket you will find photographic proof of such in our profiles, and that's probably just one small example. I'm just trying to help you, the reader, the manly man, see things from through the eyes of a woman. Think of me as your Bumble spirit guide.
I set my age range from 18-60 just to explore the gamut. (I also wanted to see that if, at 37, I could still match with a 24-year-old. Turns out I still got it.) The Millennials have the distinct advantage here. As the first generation that was raised online, you have far more photographs to choose from when creating a profile. You guys have been creating profiles since you were pre-teens, and it shows. You're savvy about what grabs attention and keeps it.
On the other hand, from age 35 and up, I saw varying degrees of profile ability such as the players who have been in the game a while and also the sad older men who just look desperate. Some of the profiles actually gave me the same feeling in my heart I get when I visit a nursing home.
The best profiles lead with a "headshot" – just one of your adorable face. They're followed by something silly. Another one of you just being you. You having an adventure. You with the homies. BOOM.
Don't lead with a selfie. There is something so sad about a man taking a selfie. Try to avoid using these pics at all, and if you have to, limit it to one. Especially selfies in the mirror. Those are the worst.
Don't post pics of yourself on the phone. I get it. You're a very important businessman taking important business calls about business. That's the female equivalent of chicks in the car (she's goin' places, folks!) If you are posting pics of yourself on the phone—that makes me think you're probably going to be staring at that thing the whole time we're together.
Duck-face on a man is strictly forbidden. NO. Just no.
Elephants are the new tigers. I get it. You travel. I've been on Bumble for less than 24 hours, and I've seen over 150 elephants.
No pics of you with celebs. Stop. Just stop. You're trying too hard.
Stop using kids and dogs as props to get laid. Unless you have a kid or a dog, don't post a pic of you with a kid or a dog. I know you think this screams, "Look! Kids and dogs love me!" If you think you holding a kid will tug on our ovaries WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU.
Does your grandma know she's your wingman on a dating app? Leave her out of this. Good guys don't use pics of their grandmas to get pussy.
No selfies in random-ass places. If the best you can do is a selfie of you in a grocery store then how can I trust you to select an adequate location for our first date?
No OR room selfies. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THIS. If you're posting a selfie from the operating room you work at—I'm not impressed—I question your integrity as a doctor.
I can't believe it's 2016 and gym selfies are still a thing. This is the dating app equivalent of a dick pic.
No pics screaming "I recently went through a break-up!!!" How do I know? The three pictures of you where the same blond has clearly been cropped.
Oh you're a DJ? Swipes left.
Wit and authenticity are king.
Don't be lame. Be witty but don't try too hard. In the first 24 hours I've seen: "Invented dice," "Invented spoons" and "Invented receipts." These kinds of bios have me like:
Be original. This is a good example of a simple, witty, interesting bio. I want to know this person. "We all know that Jon Snow is still alive. If you like Seinfeld, pretending to know how to taste wine and hate clubs then let's hang."
Don't be coy. One guy wrote "plumber" followed with a pic of him in a vineyard, with a sushi chef and in Aspen. Translation: you're a trust fund baby with butter hands.
This isn't a wrestling weigh-in. I do want to know your height. I don't want to know your weight. This is a guy thing.
Don't use emojis in your bio. What are you? A 13-year-old girl? Also unacceptable: emoji riddles. I don't have time to figure out what the fuck two bees and a Greek flag means.
Don't be generic. "Attitude is everything. Live your life like you mean it. Easy going guy looking for an attractive, intelligent woman." Puke. You're the living embodiment of a Hang In There, Kitty poster.
Don't be pretentious. Stay away from lists. Lists of degrees. Lists of cities you've lived in. Leading with a list means the source of your identity is that list and that you're probably a superficial douchebag or status-obsessed Ivy Leaguer.
Jo'Burg>Cincy>Nashville>Sydney>LA>SF>NYC>London>Tokyo>Hong Kong>Dubai>Miami>Mordor
You write "thrill seeking adventurist," and I read "I'm a player, and I will give you HPV." Fact.
Be aware of the image you're projecting. "Dog lover. Art Collector. Philanthropist." = $$$$ Bags. Don't be shocked when you connect with women who "Love designer handbags, great wine and traveling."
Be real. Oh, you're 23 and you're an "entrepreneur"? This means, "I graduated from college and think I'm too good to work at Starbucks, so I live at home and my parents pay for me until I figure out what I want to do." But, hey, nice dog. I bet your parents pay for that, too.
Do keep it positive. "NO RATCHETS"? Ew. It's ratchet of you to even say that.
Make an effort. Don't just direct me to your Instagram in your bio. We all know how I feel about grown men on Instagram.
Drinking. Talking about drinking more than once in your bio or a pic where drinking is featured more than your face tells me you have a drinking problem.
Sunglasses in every pic. Why are you hiding your eyes? I assume you're a serial killer.
If you use "lol" more than five times in six lines of chat you're out. It's the virtual equivalent of a nervous laugh, and it's a tell that you're insecure.
Don't be so defensive, BRO. I understand that dating is hard. Dating in the modern era is even harder. My first day on Bumble was filled with lots of interesting conversations and even more disturbing interactions with men who came at me with a chip on their shoulders. As I probed, it seemed these men had been on the Tinder/Bumble grind for quite some time. They'd been disillusioned, burned and turned off by the clichés, the flakes, the gold-diggers and the attention-whores. I get it. But don't put all that baggage on me. You might push away something good by assuming the worst. Resist the urge to become jaded.
AND FINALLY…when I do engage with you – ask me some questions! If you're interested, act interested. Don't make me do all the heavy lifting. I know you're chatting up like 10 chicks a day, but if I'm a priority you'll make the effort. Period.
If you follow these simple suggestions, you too might end up connecting with a woman like me and then 24 hours later coming over to my house and cooking me lunch while I write, followed by getting one of my world famous blowjobs. Wait, what?

This slide is an insight on my work at school in regards to marketing research.
Applied Marketing Research course had for the main objective to acquire knowledge in a specific Market, in regards to a specific target directed towards a problem that needs to be solved.
The aim was to analyze the current situation of a company in the real estate industry (internal and external environment, the current customers, market itself...)
With the usage of different tools we determined the possible opportunities and threats and how the company is dealing with them. The managerial problem of the company was to do not take account of exchange students compared to the number of them which is constantly increasing.
To solve the problem, we have made secondary data research in regards to the current internal position of the company ( the management, the culture, the previous strategy, the tactics...) and the external environment (PESTEL relevant factors, the demand with the quantitative and qualitative analysis as the consumer behavior, the consuption process, the determinants of choices...).
Then we have made a primary research based on the sampling method (our sample was Exchange students of my school, ESC Rennes). We did a questionnaire to analyze the demand compared to the offer of the company. After a strong analysis of the questionnaire's answers we have found several recommendations and limitations that the company must enhance and improve to succeed in this field. Please find enclosed with my visual CV the project.

Kevin Love, Kevin Martin carry Timberwolves past Pistons
Kevin Love finished with 28 points and notched 14 rebounds, his 51st double-double of the season, to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a victory over the Detroit Pistons, 114-101. The Timberwolves picked up the victory due in large part to their efficiency handling the basketball, accumulating 25 assists and turning it over only 10 times. Minnesota (31-30) has now won seven of their last 10 games.
Love went 10-18 (3-7 from three-point range) in a good performance. Other top contributors for Minnesota included Nikola Pekovic with 17 points and 9 rebounds, and Ricky Rubio with 11 points and 9 assists. Despite the loss, Greg Monroe put up 20 points for Detroit on 8-17 shooting from the field and 4-4 from the free throw line. He also tallied 15 rebounds. Josh Smith chipped in 13 points and 7 rebounds and Jonas Jerebko finished with 10 points and 7 rebounds.
This drops Detroit (24-38) to 0-2 against Minnesota on the year.
Coming up next, the Timberwolves square off against the Toronto Raptors, who are 34-26 on the year. The Pistons meet the Boston Celtics, currently 21-41 this season. The Timberwolves have a 0-1 record against Toronto this season. The Pistons have come away with a win the last two games against Boston.

Sean O'Neill, chief of staff to U.S. Rep. John Sweeney, R-Clifton park, released a copy of a letter he wrote to Assemblyman Richard Brodsky which states that it should be considered the congressman's "complete response to your inquiry."
In other words, no (for the second time) Sweeney will not be voluntarily appearing before the Democratic assemblyman's hearing on the Congressional Winter Challenge.
O'Neill tells Brodsky:
"As a threshold matter, Congressman Sweeney shares your interest in ensuring that public money is appropriately spent by government entities in New York," and plans to help the assemblyman facilitate his review of ORDA and its role in the Winter Challenge.
That said, however:
"The Congressman believes that the CWC is a valuable means of achieving his goal of promoting the economic benefit of the ORDA facility, which in turn benefits his constituents."
Then there's a litany of how much federal money Sweeney has helped bring to ORDA and its Olympic sites. The question of invitations, is addressed thusly:
"Those invitations are compiled and extended solely by the USOC. We understand that Steve Bull, director of Governmental Relations for the USOC, has written to you with an explanation of the invitation process."
In other words: We don't care what ORDA President Ted Blazer has testified to under oath, we say he's wrong.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ryan White, the 9-year-old Phillies fan who spent 37 days in a San Francisco hospital after he was injured in a hit-and-run accident South of Market, is going to place the ball on the mound for the ceremonial first pitch before the Phillies playoff opener tomorrow night. Ryan White was vacationing with his family and hit after watching a Giants-Phillies game at AT&T Park.
Former Phillies infielder Dave Cash will take the ball that Ryan places on the mound and throw out the first pitch.

Mothering at Mid-Career: Coming and Going
This is the season of Advent, the beginning of the Christian year. In the Episcopal tradition in which I grew up, and whose rhythms still influence my own, Advent is a season of lights — the Advent wreath, with its four candles (one for each week of the season), is its primary symbol. It is also a season of anticipation, of waiting, and of hope.
This is the season of Advent, the beginning of the Christian year. In the Episcopal tradition in which I grew up, and whose rhythms still influence my own, Advent is a season of lights — the Advent wreath, with its four candles (one for each week of the season), is its primary symbol. It is also a season of anticipation, of waiting, and of hope.
It is a season, in other words, entirely at odds with our current academic season, which is one of wrapping things up, of coming to conclusions, as well as of anxiety and stress and overload.
It is odd to be both beginning and ending at the same time, though of course in reality we're always doing some of each. I met with my students today for the last time, and as they presented their work, I could see some of them making new beginnings, not just putting a final stamp on the semester. That was reinvigorating — I'm in the midst of grading their final papers right now, and they don't all (as is so often the case) fulfill the potential that was promised in the presentations. Yet the optimism of those presentations is real: for all the students may be telling me what I want to hear — "I learned that children's literature is more complex than I had previously known" — they also expressed genuine surprise, pleasure, and understanding of issues that, I can tell, will continue to inspire them.
One of the great pleasures of teaching children's literature, of course, is that the texts are simple enough that the main meat of the course is skill-building. Because my students do not need my help in working their way through, say, Charlotte's Web in the way that they would need help working their way through Paradise Lost or even Aurora Leigh, we can spend more time on the skills of close reading, historical analysis, gender analysis, and the like, than we might if we needed simply to establish the particulars of a plot. My students tend not to be English majors, so I walk them through the conventions of literary analysis, hoping that they will manage to make some connections to their other work. One student said so explicitly, making the connection between the analysis of a short passage as an exemplar of a larger work, and his own scientific research, which may be focused on the molecular level but has implications for the larger organism. Another talked about her new concern with literacy—though she hopes to be a science teacher, she realizes now how important reading will be to helping her students learn science. A third saw, with hindsight, a continuing preoccupation with child development in her work in the course, and linked it to her work as a psychology major.
The semester-review presentation is a new thing for me — I added it to my class this year in an attempt to give students some time to reflect on their learning. Too often, as I suggested above, the end of term is just a time to get through — exams, final papers, and final presentations pile up on top of one another, and while each assignment may indeed be an opportunity for learning, it's hard for some students to do much more than the bare minimum when everything is happening all at once. So perhaps I did manage to build a little Advent into finals week — we shared some cookies, talked informally, and then listened attentively as each student explained how s/he had found some unity in the semester's work. Somewhat to my surprise, we even managed to have a little discussion when two or three students happened to present about the same novel. We might not have lit a candle, but that did seem to bring a little light into the room.

1997 E350 Chateau Club Wagon
By Joe Arkin on
Vehicle1997 Ford E-350 Econoline 3dr Cargo Van
ReviewHaving been a van owner since 1973,
this vehicle -by far- is the best full
size van I've ever owned. There is no
better vehicle for traveling. The van
has incredible load capacity and
passenger room. The 4 captain's chairs
provide the type of comfort one needs
for long distance traveling as well as
the ease of getting in and out of the
van. Rear heat/AC controls provide the
back seat passengers with full control
to their liking. The AM/FM/Cassette
with 6 speakers distribut the sound
beautifully. Being able to move between
front and back as full sized adults is
an excellent attribute when traveling
as well.
Best FeaturesRemovable seats, large passenger compartment, 4 reclining captain's chairs with arm rests, 5.4L V8 with cruise control, large console, remote control door locks
Worst FeaturesPaint is peeling from roof/top. Ford has an ongoing Class Action Suit for this problem.

well it was nice while it lasted, R.I.P 'Bee
Last night I was leaving a friends house heading back onto the island from bluffton on highway 278, a couple days ago one of my friends were telling me how the camaro has a 5 star safety rating in every category and I was impressed but I wasn't thinking anything of it.
I was just getting to the intersection at Buck Island Road and I was doing around 57 mph in the far right lane. I saw this car in the opposite direction making a left turn to turn down buck island road, and wasn't thinking anything of it.
I was assuming they were going to slow down, to check and make sure they were clear to go, next thing I know I look over and their just making the turn, in the middle of the intersection about to hit me head on. I swerved to try to avoid the impact but it was to late. They hit me doing at least 50 mph broad side in the drivers side door. I spun out for a little and landed about 400 ft. Away from the other car in the grass. After realizing what happened I patted myself down to see if anything was broken or anything and then checked on them.
The drivers side door caved in about a foot to two feet, the front tire blew and the whole drivers side was demolished. But I walked out of the car totally unharmed, the only thing is I'm a bit sore from the seat belt but nothing serious. The fire department EMTs arrived and thought they had to cut me out of the wreckage and everyone was amazed at how bad of a wreck it was, but how I was totally unharmed.
I just wanted to share this story with everyone at Chevrolet and everyone ay the camaro5 family, chevy has been in my families blood threw generations and I realized why, they make amazing, safe, gorgeous cars.
I just wanted to say "thank you will all my heart chevy" for your guys smart studying and determination to make a safe car it really paid off for me in my case, you guys saved my life and I can't thank you enough
Last week my friend passed away after loosing control of her BMW and clipped a tree, and I'm fortunate that I was in a camaro during that event if I was in anything else I could of been seriously injured.
Thank you all again, and thank you for your time.

Razor sharp Starship Truffles seized the lead rounding the turn and drew off impressively in the stretch to post an 8-1 upset in the $350,000 Princess Rooney Handicap (gr. I) July 6 at Calder Casino & Race Course (VIDEO).
She was one of five entrants in the headline Summit of Speed event for trainer Marty Wolfson, who earned his fourth Princess Rooney victory. Starship Truffles, winning her first graded stakes, easily defeated Judy the Beauty, the 11-10 favorite in the field of 12 fillies and mares, by 3 3/4 lengths. The final time for the six furlongs was 1:10 2/5 on a fast track.
Chasing Tail Stables owns 4-year-old Starship Truffles, who was ridden to victory by Edgard Zayas. The daughter of Ghostzapper earned her third win from her past four starts and 14th victory overall in 24 races.
"I'm so excited," Zayas said after his his first grade I win and third victory on the Saturday Calder program. "I know it's the first one of a lot of them."
My Pal Chrisy was third with Holiday Soiree fourth.
Bred in Kentucky by Sanford and Irwin Golfarb, Starship Truffles is out of the stakes-winning Not For Love mare Bobbie Use. The bay filly sold for $22,000 at the Ocala Breeders Company in November 2011.
Coming off a 10-length win in an allowance/optional claiming race June 29, Starship Truffles raced fourth early while stalking three wide as 142-1 shot Costly opened up a 2 1/2-length lead while clipping off a blistering opening quarter mile of :21.29. Costly lasted into the turn before Starship Truffles swept up on the outside and took command leaving the quarter pole after a :44.66 half mile.
"I laid in third like planned," said Zayas."I was very confident in my horse; she is doing very, very good."
Starship Truffles drew away in the stretch as Judy the Beauty circled the field five wide from seventh at the quarter pole for jockey Joao Moreia to progress into second mid-stretch. But Judy the Beauty, second in both of her prior grade I attempts, could make no impact on the winner while finishing 2 1/2 lengths clear of My Pal Chrisy and Luca Panici.
Holiday Soiree was half a length back in fourth, followed by Sweet Cassiopeia, French Politics, Centrique, Givhans Ferry, Oh Carole, Spectacular Sky, Capitalism At Risk, and Costly.
Starship Truffles boosted her career earnings to $433,035 while returning $18.60, $7.20, and $5.40 to her backers. She carried 116 pounds, three fewer than Judy the Beauty, who returned $2.80 and $2.60. The exacta was worth $66.40. My Pal Chrisy, off at 24-1, paid $10.20 to show.
"She's a late closer and always makes a move at the three-eighths pole," said Wolfson. "Personally, I really did (think she would draw off). We ran her a week ago to make sure she was back to herself."
