Adelaide: After registering a comprehensive win over Australia in the second final of the tri-series, Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene on Tuesday said that the key to his team`s success against a tough opponent is to "compete well at all times".
Sri Lanka`s eight-wicket win at Adelaide today is their sixth win in the last eight games in Australia, including four in the present series.
"The way to do is to compete with them at all times. You must be able to handle a few situations better than them," said Jayawardene after the day`s play.
Chasing Australia`s 271 for six, the Lankans overhauled the target with 34 balls to spare in what turned out to be a lop-sided contest and took it to the deciding third and last final of the tri-series, to be played here on Thursday.
Australia on Tuesday bemoaned islanders dominance in the powerplay and death overs but Jayawardene said they purposely didn`t targeted the home bowlers in those phases of the match.
"We have batted with controlled aggression today, though we took the extra risk. We look to break down the target and play according to the situation," said Jayawardene.
Extremely disappointed with his team`s effort in the field earlier in the day, Jayawardene said it was his one of the team`s worst performances of the tour.
"We were dropping everything. With just four bowlers (in the ranks), we had to pick wickets. It`s our one of the worst performances of the tour. We can laugh about it now but it would have cost us (the finals)," he said.
Jayawardene, who picked up an issue with umpire Bruce Oxenford after he had delayed in terming a delivery no-ball bowled by Ferveez Maharoof, admitted that he became hyper.
"I am culprit for carrying it on a bit long and have been fined (10 per cent) for it. It`s good though once in a while to do so but I was hyper (than required).
"My issue was not the no-ball but how late the call was made. Umpire (Oxenford) said there was a lack of communication with the square leg umpire (Asad Rauf)."
The particular moment sort of galvanised the Lankans, who didn`t allow Australians to run away with a large total in the final overs.
"The only thing I told them was to make sure they can`t have free runs, let them have a tough run. The guys did it well," said Jayawardene.
Regarding the Sri Lankans showing remarkable flexibility, like using off-spinner Tillakaratne Dilshan with the ball first up in the Australian innings, Jayawardene explained: "We had an option to go with an off-spinner or an extra batsman. Since we knew we would be chasing today, we opted for an extra batsman.
"He (Dilshan) bowled very well, besides his batting of course."
Jayawardene now has a strong case to be a regular opener in ODI but the skipper said he would have a word with selectors and see how it pans out. His promotion though has pushed the regular opener Upul Tharanga lower down the order.
"He`s been told we would be flexible with the batting order. Everyone`s getting the reasoning (for shift in batting order) and it`s done tactically," explained Jayawardene.

Lawless NSA Global Spying
By Stephen Lendman
NSA is one of 16 known US spy agencies. Perhaps others operate secretly. Black budgets conceal what's spent. Amounts are enormous. They're unconscionable.
Used responsibly, they'd relieve hunger, shelter the homeless, heal the sick, and educate young people hungry for knowledge.
Out-of-control, unregulated, unmonitored practices operate lawlessly. Enormous harm results. Rogue states operate that way.
On June 1, 1952, Harry Truman authorized NSA. On October 24, revised National Security Council Intelligence Directive (NSCID) 9 followed. On November 4, 1952, NSA was established.
In 1957, its existence was briefly mentioned in the US Government Organization Manual. It called NSA:
"a separately organized agency within the Department of Defense under the direction, authority, and control of the Secretary of Defenseâ¤|for the performance of highly specialized technical functions in support of the intelligence activities of the United States."
It's headquartered at Fort Meade, MD. It's operations are highly classified. General Keith Alexander heads them. Spies "R" Us, defines them.
On December 4, 1981, Executive Order 12333, explained NSA/Central Security Service (CSS) responsibilities and purposes. Head of operations is charged with:
"Collect(ing, including through clandestine means), process, analyze, produce, and disseminate signals intelligence information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes to support national and departmental missions;
Acting(ing) as the National Manager for National Security Systems as established in law and policy, and in this capacity be responsible to the Secretary of Defense and to the Director, National Intelligence; (and)
Prescrib(ing) security regulations covering operating practices, including the transmission, handling, and distribution of signals intelligence and communications security material within and among the elements under control of the Director of the National Security Agency, and exercise the necessary supervisory control to ensure compliance with the regulations."
On July 31, 2008, EO 12333 was amended to:
"Align (it) with the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004;
Implement additional recommendations of the 9/11 and WMD Commissions; (and)
Further integrate the Intelligence Community and clarify and strengthen the role of DNI as the head of the Community; Maintain or strengthen privacy and civil liberties protections."
By law, NSAs mission is limited to monitoring, collecting and analyzing foreign communications. Its dual missions include:
the Signals Intelligence Directorate (SID). It relates to foreign intelligence gathering, and
the Information Assurance Directorate (IAD). It protects US information systems.
Rule of law principles are systematically spurned. It's more true now than ever. It's far worse than most people imagine. Anything goes reflects policy. NSA's a power unto itself. It does whatever it wants covertly.
It spies globally. Big Brother is real. NSA reflects it writ large. Virtually everyone can be watched everywhere all the time. It's done with technological ease. No one's safe anywhere any time. There's no place to hide.
NSA calls its mission "cryptology that encompasses both Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Information Assurance (IA) products and services, and enables Computer Network Operations (CNO) in order to gain a decision advantage for the Nation and our allies under all circumstances."
Spies "R" Us explains it better. Telecom, Internet and thousands of other corporations cooperate. They're complicit as willing partners. They're involved extrajudicially. They operate secretly. They're unapologetic.
In the 1950s and 60s, NSA spied on all US incoming and outgoing telegrams. In the 1970s, an independent Church Committee investigation discovered clandestine operations for the first time.
Change was demanded. Lawless spying is intolerable. Decades earlier practices pale compared to what now goes on. Subverting fundamental law constitutes tyranny. Today it exists writ large.
America never was democratic. It's not now. It's secretive, ruthless, and unprincipled. It's hegemonically out-of-control abroad.
It's domestic policies reflect police state lawlessness. Fundamental international, constitutional and US statute laws don't matter. Diktat power rules. Presidents, Congress and federal courts are complicit.
According to Representative Loretta Sanchez (D. CA), what's been publicly revealed reflects "the tip of the iceberg." She was "astounded" about information disclosed privately.
She "can't speak to what" she now knows. It's vital others explain what everyone has a right to know. Sunshine is our first line of defense. Constructive change depends on how it's used.
NSA does more than spy. It lawlessly hacks computer and telecommunication networks. It does so globally. It focuses heavily on strategically important countries.
Mathhew Aid's a US intelligence expert. On June 10, his Foreign Policy Article headlined "Inside the NSA's Ultra-Secret China Hacking Group."
It "actively engage(s) in cyber-espionage." It does so covertly and lawlessly. Rogue states operate that way. America's by far the worst.
Obama officials point fingers the wrong way. They accuse China of active cyber-espionage against America. Beijing hit back publicly. Senior Chinese officials accused Washington of hypocrisy.
Beijing's top Internet official, Huang Chengquing, said China has "mountains of data" revealing widespread US hacking. It's designed to steal government secrets.
According to Aid, NSA's Office of Tailored Access Operations (TAO) "successfully penetrated Chinese computer and telecommunications systems for almost 15 years, generating some of the best and most reliable intelligence information about what is going on inside the People's Republic of China."
Most NSA employees and officials know little or nothing about TAO. "(E)xtraordinary sensitivity" of its operations keeps them secret. Only those needing to know have full access.
Special security clearances are required "to gain access to the unit's work spaces inside the NSA operations complex," said Aid.
"The door leading to its ultramodern operations center is protected by armed guards, an imposing steel door that can only be entered by entering the correct six-digit code into a keypad, and a retinal scanner to ensure that only those individuals specially cleared for access get through the door."
TAO's mission involves "collect(ing) intelligence information on foreign targets by surreptitiously hacking into their computers and telecommunications systems, cracking passwords, compromising the computer security systems protecting the targeted computer, stealing the data stored on computer hard drives, and then copying all the messages and data traffic passing within the targeted email and text-messaging systems."
"The technical term of art used by NSA to describe these operations is computer network exploitation (CNE)."
Last October, Obama authorized selecting overseas targets for cyber-attacks. He did so by secret presidential directive. He's playing with fire.
His Offensive Cyber Effects Operations (OCEO) claims to "offer unique and unconventional capabilities to advance US national objectives around the world with little or no warning to the adversary or target and with potential effects ranging from subtle to severely damaging."
Washington will "identify potential targets of national importance where OCEO can offer a favorable balance of effectiveness and risk as compared with other instruments of national power."
It suggests operating domestically the same way. Keith Alexander heads US Cyber Command (Cybercom). He's authorized to conduct these attacks.
TAO personnel are responsible for developing information needed to destroy, damage, or otherwise compromise targeted sites.
According to Aid, TAO "is the now the largest and arguably the most important component of the NSA's huge Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) Directorateâ¤|."
"(O)ver 1,000 military and civilian computer hackers, intelligence analysts, targeting specialists, computer hardware and software designers, and electrical engineers."
Their job is identifying computer systems and supporting telecommunications networks for attack.
TAO is "an industry unto itself." It's a virtual "wunderkind" of US intelligence. "They go places, get things (and do what) nobody else in the IC (intelligence community) can."
It keeps growing in size and scope. It's a global monster. It's exponentially expanding. It's so huge and menacing it's no longer possible to hide.
China's acutely aware of its activities. President Xi Jinping knows the threat. So do Russia, Iran, and leaders of other countries.
They're reacting defensively and offensively. Two sides can play this game. Cyber-attacks constitute war by other means. Fallout can be disastrous.
America's an out-of-control menace. It's lawless, unprincipled, uncompromising, and unrelenting. It threatens freedom and world peace. According to Wired.com, a recent Pentagon report recommended nuclear war in response to cyberattacking America.
Former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller now write Times op-eds. He does so irresponsibly. He supports Big Brother lawlessness. Perhaps he has something to hide. He's been on the wrong side of issues for years. He disgraces his profession doing so.
On June 16, he headlined "Living with the Surveillance State." Spying is good, he suggests. Sacrificing privacy and other freedoms are small prices to pay.
Preventing terror attacks matter most. No threats exist. Claiming otherwise doesn't wash. Keller didn't explain.
"The danger," he says, "is not surveillance per se." He claims most people "decidedâ¤|.that life on the grid entails a certain amount of intrusion."
He arrogantly believes "most people" share his view. We're "adjusting to life in a surveillance state," he says.
Big Brother writ large reflects police state lawlessness. No one understanding the stakes is comfortable.
Real danger, says Keller, exists without "rigorous, independent regulation and vigilant oversight to keep potential abuses of power from becoming a real menace to our freedom."
He's more out of touch than he admits. Democracy's more illusion than reality. So-called checks and balances. They eroded long ago. They're nonexistent.
Diktat power runs America. Congress and federal courts are complicit. Tyranny's the law of the land. Police state statutes eroded most freedoms. Anyone can be targeted for any reason or none at all.
Thousands of political prisoners rot in America's gulag. It's the world's largest by far. Permanent war is longstanding policy. So is torture, neoliberal harshness, out-of-control corruption, and whatever monied interests say goes.
America's social contract is being destroyed. It's happening in plain sight. Thirdworldizing America is policy. A race to the bottom reflects it. Reality for most people is nightmarish. Today's young generation has no future.
Inequality is institutionalized. Wealth, power and privilege alone matter. Popular needs go begging. Mass surveillance reflects what Chomsky calls "keeping the rabble in line."
Media scoundrels like Keller don't explain. "I don't think we're on a slippery slope to a police state," he claims. Perhaps he didn't notice one already exists.
Times columnist Tom Friedman's no better. His articles reflect hack journalism. He's unprincipled and wrongheaded. He supported Bush's Iraq war.
He's unconcerned about imperial aggression. He suggests America's "designated enemies" border on insanity. He's silent on Israel's worst crimes.
He supports Big Brother lawlessness. He did so in his article headlined "Blowing a Whistle."
"Yes, I worry about potential government abuse of privacy from a program designed to prevent another 9/11 - abuse that, so far, does not appear to have happened. But I worry about another 9/11."
Fact check
Gross privacy abuses exist. Free expression is compromised. Dissent is an endangered species. 9/11 is the Big Lie of our time. It was state-sponsored terrorism. It was a false flag. Overwhelming evidence proves it.
Friedman claims America's an "open society." He's paid to lie. He and other media scoundrels substitute managed news misinformation for truth and full disclosure.
Snowden's no "heroic whistle-blower," he says. Big Brother's protecting us, he believes. Sacrificing freedom for alleged security's worth it, he claims. He's unaware of any abuses.
He's more out of touch than Keller. America's freedom rests in peace. It lies in history's dustbin. Police state lawlessness replaced it. Blowing that whistle matters most.

The game actually behaved quite well if you ran it on a PS2 or a newer-model PSX. I'm rather appalled that you'd suggest an illegal method of playing the game over a perfectly legal one. It's a rather pointless suggestion too, as the original poster probably only wants to see more animated scenes.
Anyways - the clip was just a little bonus that appeared in either a convention or a magazine, I keep getting conflicting information about that.

<--owns all original copies of all snes/nes rpgs, and will keep it that way. and/or, have never touched a rom.
but i still think someone would enjoy it much more without bugs, etc.. by playing the rom version over one which is notorious for having issues, slow load times, etc, in comparison to the original.
and a pointless suggestion? maybe you aren't paying attention.. but rod seemed interested in getting the version of the game, thus, i brought up the original, and the problems he might have with the new one. until he says otherwise ("i just want to see animated scenes"), i'll continue to try to give suggestions.

Chrono Trigger Anime
I understand there is a 'Chrono Trigger' series or 'Movie' of some sort. I have only played the game (which is one of the best to SNES) and so I would like to see the series (?). Are they available on DVD? If so, where?
I got a poster with the game, drawn by Akira Toriyama. Have he drawn the anime to?

I didn't think the OVA was THAT bad...i mean it was dissapointing...
All it is is a little side story about 2 chars from the game (i forget what their names are...i think one was a Nuu...and the other was that little creature you fight at the end of time...I think) and it just shows their little adventure during the carnival...
and the main chars show up for a sec at the very end....

no, its not. none of the human characters are in it... only some of the monsters that you'll surely recognize and laugh at (like the red guy who you beat up for silver points, and the bike monster you have to race).
ova means original video animation, it basically means released on video instead of shown on tv. ... usually ovas are shorter than tv series, sometimes just one episode.

Chrono trigger anime
I played The game Chrono trigger to Snes and thought it was a great game. But then a couple of weaks later i found out that the characters in Chrono trigger had been drawn by Okira toriyama and i also found out that there had been a anime aired in japan. I have tried to find a fansub or at least a realease of this anime but without results. So I wonder if anyone know anything about this anime and if there has been a fansub of it. And then i don't mean the funny "gag"-anime that was made in one episode.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 23, 2011) - "Raw talent and a hard worker." That's ETSU Sprints Coach Brandon Morton on freshman sprinter Emani Harrison (Columbia, S.C.) almost a year ago, before the South Carolina native got her wings in collegiate competition.
Now, heading to her first NCAA regional meet as a mere freshman, Harrison said she credits Morton as the reason she chose to be a Buccaneer. "Coach Morton found me when I was in high school," said Harrison, "and saw the potential in me that I didn't even know I had."
If some of the best athletes are modest to the core, then Harrison is right up there at the top. Her potential, which Morton saw in her, translated into four top-four finishes at the South Carolina High School League 2009 Class AAA state championships. Ironically, Harrison's lowest finish that day came in the 100-meter dash, the event she runs in less than a week on the NCAA regional stage in Bloomington, Ind.
In addition to fourth in the 100, Harrison took third in the 200, second in the 400 and an unprecedented first in the long jump, her first try at the event. Win gold? Hey, sure, why not. Harrison tallied the four best women's finishes for A. C. Flora High and the majority of its 34 points that Saturday on the campus of Lower Richland in Hopkins, S.C.
Harrison made some solid impressions, running among a gaggle of top-ten schools in a meet that turned into a two-horse race between J. L. Mann's AAAA program and Greer, far and away atop the AAA standings. An athlete could easily get lost in the shuffle, but luckily for Harrison, Morton picked up on a good thing.
"Emani is a prime example of a talented kid that was overlooked," said Morton. "I noticed her and she chose ETSU out of all the schools that were interested."
At ETSU, Harrison retains the next three years' eligibility on the track, but she is already a step ahead of the game in the classroom, having logged the 2009-10 and 2010-11 academic years toward a degree in political science with a minor in education.
Taking a year to acclimate herself to the college life, far away from her mother Yolanda and her grandparents Robert and Edna, proved a vital part of her maturation into a true Division I student-athlete. Both Morton and Harrison agreed that academics come first, a big factor in her decision to come to Johnson City.
"I always pushed academics first and athletics second," Morton said. "I think her parents appreciated that, so it made the choice easy for them."
Reflecting on her academic responsibilities, Harrison said that at ETSU, "they really want all their athletes to pass and put their books first, so they had study hall, mentors and tutoring sessions, which helped me out a lot through both my fall and spring semester.
"I did have a mentor who met with me like two hours a week to discuss my work," she added, "and study hall was there so I could do my work and get hours." Harrison said she hopes to one day become a lawyer, that she feels a natural talent for the courtroom similar to that for the track. Her education minor, she said, speaks to her desire to teach children.
With her academic plans already in motion, Harrison began work on her long-term athletic ambition: to win an Olympic gold medal.
Last fall, Harrison joined her team on the ETSU-MSHA Center floor for the 2010-11 indoor season, where she said she felt right at home, "starting a new future with a new track family." An optimistic outlook helped Harrison balance her first year on the track with her second year in the classroom, filling the 237-mile gap between here and home. And, she added, an outgoing personality always helps.
"Adjusting wasn't too bad for me because I'm a lovable person," she said with a warm smile. "You can ask anyone I'm good to get along with at any time."
A positive personality and pure potential fused early for the freshman as she blazed to her first collegiate title in just her first event of the season, the Appalachian Invitational in Boone, N.C., winning the 55 in 7.10 last Dec. 5. Breaking into 2011, she took second in the 60 at the Liberty Invitational in Lynchburg, Va., Jan. 29 with a time of 7.73, just ahead of senior mentor Jasmine Ingram (Frederick, Md.). She improved the time a week later under her own roof, taking third in 7.66 at the 33rd Annual Niswonger Invitational, the perennial primer for the big one, the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championships.
Carrying a top-seeded time into the conference meet, Harrison pushed the envelope even further with the top qualifying time on Day 1, 7.63 in the 60. Despite being the best after one day, Harrison knew she needed to be even better in the finals.
She was, beating her lifetime best in 7.62. But it would not amount to gold in the end, as experienced senior sprinter Louise Kiernan won the event for Jacksonville by three-hundredths of a second.
"Where do I begin with the indoor championship," Harrison reflected. "I fell just a hair short. When I think back on my race and ask myself what I could have done to win, I know now, because like my coach said, they were all just simple technical problems."
Instead of letting those three-hundredths of a second cast a pall on her season that would last for weeks, Harrison chose to value the lesson learned. "I wish I could take the race back to where I could win again. But then again," she said, "I don't, because I learned from my race and [it] made me work even harder on the track to achieve my goal."
Transitioning to the outdoor season, Harrison became a crucial piece of the 4x400 relay puzzle, guiding them into the top five at the Charlotte 49er Invitational and then into the top three at the Weems Baskin Relays at the University of South Carolina, right close to home in Columbia. Harrison also logged a top-ten run in the 100 in front of friends and family.
That mark of 11.98 stood as the top conference mark for the 100 going into the A-Sun Outdoor Championships in Jacksonville, Fla., where Harrison again outdid herself with a new personal best of 11.91 and the top qualifier that Friday. But on Saturday it was deja vu for Harrison: Kiernan again edged the freshman for the title, despite another personal record of 11.71, one-fifth of a second faster than before, the top finish for ETSU in women's sprints.
With the outdoor season all said and done as far as conference competition, Harrison shifted her focus to a new goal: being inside the exclusive 48-athlete bubble of NCAA regional qualifiers.
Immediately, Harrison chiseled away at her previous time in the 100, getting down to 11.67 with a gold medal at the Charlotte Invite a week after Jacksonville. But as thousands of athletes funneled through several meets around the region in the next few weeks, the same old standard for Harrison's entire season rang true yet again.
She would need more. A quicker jump off the blocks. A longer nose at the tape. A faster finish. A better time. So what's new?
Not far from home, she found it yet again. A remarkable 11.63 in the preliminaries at the last stop of the season, the Clemson Final Qualifier, put Harrison on the brink and eventually plunged her into the regional pool.
With the odds stacked against her and time running out, Harrison said that while she was hopeful, she was also realistic, and that seeing her name turn up as the No. 39 time in the region was a pleasant surprise.
"Being a freshman and going to regional is still a shock to me," Harrison said, "because I had a lot of competition and people who are way older than me.
"But God had a plan for me and I made it to regional, and I am so thankful because I wouldn't be here without my family support and my coach."
Just a week ago, Ingram, her senior teammate, was already in. Senior men's sprinter Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) was already in. Ifrish Alberg (Paramaribo, Suriname), a fellow freshman, was already in. And now, Harrison is in, packing her bags for Bloomington, Ind., and a chance at regional glory and beyond.
Emani means faith, a family name that was also her great-grandmother's. Through faith in her family, her coach, and most importantly herself, Harrison has already won the first of so many heats on the track of life.

text: I can be emailed at email@example.com. I have watched with amusement the debate over Oscar Wegner. Two years ago I switched to teaching his system with incredible results. I have met Oscar personally and believe I know his method as well as almost anyone in the United States given I have been studying tennis theory much of my life looking for the answer I should have had in 1990 but was warned to stay away from by the leading coaching authorities of the time. Today, all leading coaches, and I have a picture of Van DeMeer and Oscar together I took at the US Open last year, all use his stuff and I was shocked to see Dennis talk about his videos with such high praise given I know how differently they taught for years. I was first USPTA certified in 1984 and Oscar was surprised at how well I remembered the Tennis Magazinie review of 1991 which savaged his method and has since been proven wrong. I note www.tennisone.com just did a nice tribute to Oscar as their slo mo vidoes show top pros hit using his techniques and so they now claim "history proved him right." Oscar didn't need video to find that out, as Bud Collins noted on public record a new breed of topspin players started showing up in Spain in 1973 coached by Oscar Wegner. I have never found Oscar to exaggerate anything. Borg could choose any coach to make his comeback or praise anyone. Why did he praise Oscar so? Because he knew the truth of modern tennis. To Tennisparent, I would like to address a few points for you also, in particular. I hope I can provide a helpful point of view to maybe fill in our American USA obsession with science and technical explanation for a game that I am now convinced is played on a "spiritual" or "somewhere closer to the subconcious" level. I welcome any questions, objections and concerns. I have heard them all before or had them myself.

Polish Government's Plan To Sign ACTA Gets The SOPA Treatment
from the you-do-not-know-what-you've-unleashed dept
The petition also ignores the most obvious line of attack for the US's participation: the questions about whether or not ACTA really qualifies as an "executive agreement." Instead, it takes that as granted, ignoring (or, more likely, simply not knowing) that there are serious constitutional questions about the claim that this is an executive agreement -- and that Senator Ron Wyden has already asked the White House to justify the claims that it's an executive agreement, rather than a treaty. Also, it's worth noting that other countries, including the EU, have already claimed that ACTA is a binding treaty, even as the US continues to deny that fact.
Either way, the EU failed to sign at the official signing ceremony (along with Mexico and Switzerland), claiming that it still had to get some legal ducks in a row. A legal review within the EU found that ACTA is terribly vague and wide open to interpretation, such that some of it may violate other directives -- which would be a pretty big problem. But rather than fix anything, it appears the EU (under great pressure from the US) is looking to go ahead with ACTA. We noted last month that an EU Council took a step forward in supporting ACTA, but did so by hiding it in an unrelated agriculture and fisheries meeting.
And, now, reports are spreading about how the Polish government is set to agree that the EU should sign onto ACTA, later this week. There are still more steps before the EU officially does sign ACTA, but the effort in Poland is definitely a step in that direction.
What's interesting to me, however, is how the SOPA/PIPA fight really has energized folks into fighting all sorts of efforts to encroach the internet with expanded copyright law and copyright enforcement efforts. Despite some of the hyperbole, ACTA is not SOPA. It's certainly bad -- though, massively watered down from what it was originally. But it's not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination. ACTA should not be approved, and there are significant legal questions in the US as to whether or not it really can be approved in the manner it was -- but either way, it's nice to see more people waking up to the serious problems with the ever expanding copyright law efforts -- pushed by the same folks who supported SOPA/PIPA.
And... it appears that these protests are already having at least some impact. Polish politicians are meeting ahead of the planned meeting "to review their stance on copyright protection policies." If the widespread online outrage about ACTA can actually lead countries to pushing back against this agreement, which is pretty much signed, sealed and delivered, it would be yet another sign of the growing power of online protests (though, some folks may ask where were you back when lots of people were arguing against ACTA, before it was signed by most participating countries).

Wait, Emilia=Miria? The twins or at least one was cut to pieces trying to protect Miria?
Keleiya=Claire? I think I also remember the nickname for Claire was rabbit.
I hoping this is fake, because it makes it out as though Priscilla/Claire respond to the awakened ZAOs, which seems too direct of a development.

Devito = Deneve I think. Damn, now that is a good comparison that I could of used back in the "Yuma vs Deneve vs that other one" leader debate.

I think that's it.
Edit: Thank you SagaraSouske for that translation. It sounds legitimate, although I was hoping that it would be the fight that comes to Priscilla and not the other way around. It seems strange that the twins would die considering they are (1) children and (2) have been saved repeatedly. It is also interesting that the arm served as Priscilla's escape from the blob.

This spoiler looks interesting. If it's true maybe I will even start to read Claymore again. It might mean that:
1. Clare and Priscilla final fight is postponed.
2. Priss, most probably, will slaughter those 3 AO, showing us again how powerful monster she is.
3. Third and final part of Claymore will start soon, where we will see shounenish growth of Clare and survivors (Raki, Galatea, Miata and some ghosts)
4. And after another 50 or 60 chapters the final fight between Clare and Priss
BTW - so far half of my predictions about future claymore plot was wrong...

In the wait for spoilers I started reading the early 110s again and I cannot believe the amount of dialogue I missed. I never picked up on the "hint" that the ZAOs are not the first attempt at zombies nor did I pick up on the bodies being inherently unstable. That and, Dae saying that the bodies needed to be filled with Youki at which point that seems to raise a couple questions about if these ZAOs are on borrowed time.
edit: Wait, I also missed the part where they were sent out prematurely, meaning there bodies are still unstable. Crap, reading comprehension for the lose.

I'm o.k with this being true, though...........despite all the faith in Priscilla I am not sure how she will fare against them. I mean...why DID Dae consider him his three best other than Priscilla? I'm sure if Riful, Isley, and Luciella or Alicia jumped Priscilla at once she'd be done in...and it's been heavily eluded to that these three are superior to those beings, especially Luciella at least.
Side Note: I believe Cassadra's large base body can indeed twist and turn and swoop and mobilize to dust eat and such WHILST still using basic assault; she is, if not, otherwise boring as shit. I can't wait to see the other two awakened forms...Hysteria seems.........promising to say the least, yes?

Arlanis, I sort of went into the same questioning earlier before (http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...&postcount=506), though I mostly spoke about Teresa -- it does seem strange how Dae seemed to have favored those three seemingly so much, especially in the context of others like Teresa and Priscilla.
Thank you for your translation Sagara; it does seem very plausible, especially in the ridiculous notion that we don't (hopefully yet) get to see what actually went on inside the blob and will get a flashback to it at some point -- Yagi loves flashbacks too much.
But yes, we had better see what goes on in the blob -- really, the amount of potential for character development for Claire and Priscilla, regardless of their is an actual physical/mental/whatever fight of some sort, on so many fronts is ridiculous....I've been looking forward to it for ages now; I don't know how I'll act if it gets pushed over like the Isley vs Luciella fight or something; it's mandatory in my book.
Though Nixl...if Solace's theory ends up being true on some level, then the same way Rafaela tried to save her sister by putting her soul back into her (so says Cyclone's plausible theory)....that honestly could end up being true, though I'm not sure how I would react to it either.
One thing is for sure though; if that spoiler really is true, like every chapter really, I feel this next one will leave us with more questions then answers.

If Priscilla can take on all 3, I don't think that will last very long. For now, they are pretty much mindless Awakened (if Cassandra is any indication) so they will need some time to return to their senses the way Riful, Isley and Luciela did. But once they get some experience as AOs, I don't think Priscilla stands any significant chance. Riful, who's no fool, said that a team up of her and Luciella should be enough to take on Priscilla (though that may be because of how difficult it is to kill both of them) - and Riful knows what a monster she is. So, if these 3 are at least as powerful as the original AOs she's going to run into some problems.

Thanks Shiek. I had actually read that a while ago though. Same thoughts obviously.
White Silver king it really is established pretty much that after awakening, beings tend to take a while to get their head on straight and even some return to pretty much their former claymore mindset except....of course not completely being awakened (example: Riful and Isley). I had forgotten about that factor. Priscilla took a WHILE to even get semi-sane as she is now. Be that as it may, even with that in mind I must say that if they ALL three go at her fully her "I'm the shit" streak should be over and she will have to struggle; even if they are deranged in their assault it doesn't change the shear power of it. I doubt they will all go for her though being that Cassandra and Roxanna will be stubborn and fight one another and even if Roxanna realizes they need to team up I doubt Cassandra will go for it; Hysteria on the other hand is a bitch and will be left alone to deal with Priscilla without qualms due to her bitchy confident nature and will be undoubtedly slain unless she turns out to be outta hand in power, flees, or Priscilla is just to slow; I doubt the latter will be the case, though Hysteria's speed should be godly.

Day's Worst: Jeffco Dems make poor volunteer of the year choice
It's hard to imagine what Jefferson County Democrats were thinking when they chose to publicly honor a volunteer who was under criminal investigation for serious crimes against an at-risk adult.
Now, the party will have to live with the fact that its choice for Democrat of the Year is a convicted felon.
The sad part of the incident is that county Democrats got fair warning of the potential for this outcome.
According to a story by Post reporter Lynn Bartels, Jeffco Dems learned of a pending investigation of Estelle Carson three days before they planned to honor her at a Jan. 8 dinner with a volunteer award. Carson was being investigated for exploiting an older woman with mental and physical disabilities.
They should have put the brakes on the award right there and then. If the case were found to be groundless, the party could circle back and recognize her in a successive year. Last week, a jury convicted Carson of identity theft and theft from an at-risk person, both felonies.
And now, Jefferson County Democrats have to live with the dishonor of its choice.

Elizabeth Warren shopping a book proposal on her experiences fighting Wall Street in Washington
WASHINGTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren plans to start shopping a book proposal to publishers, seeking to enhance her national political stature while promoting what she considers the cause of her public and legal career: protecting the middle class from abusive financial practices.
The book's working title is "Rigged,'' Warren said in an interview, and she expects it to offer a first-hand account of her battles in Washington to rein in the sorts of predatory lending and Wall Street excess that victimized everyday Americans.
While she has not placed a proposal in any publisher's hands, it is conceivable the freshman senator could command a seven-figure contract, based on the bar set by books authored by Massachusetts politicians Governor Deval Patrick and former senator Scott Brown.
"I've been blessed with an unusual career,'' Warren said Tuesday. "I've had the opportunity to fight for causes I believe in. And this book is national, but it's also deeply personal. It's a very personal book.''
Warren said the book would not be a memoir but rather a first-person account of her experiences during Washington struggles over bankruptcy laws, the 2008 financial crisis, the formation of her brainchild — the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was included in the landmark Dodd-Frank financial regulatory overhaul — as well as her high-profile Senate run last year.
"This book is about a problem: how the system is broken,'' she said. "But it's also about what we can do to level the playing field. The book will talk about what's broken, and how to fix it.''
"Look at the title: the working title is 'Rigged,' '' she added. "It refers to how the economic system's too often rigged against families who work hard and play by the rules — and how it's loaded in favor of those with money and power.''
Warren is being represented by well-known Washington attorney Robert Barnett, who also negotiated the book deal for Brown, whom Warren defeated in November's election, as well as deals for President Obama, former president George W. Bush, and former president Bill Clinton.
While the book will be about fighting for the middle class, it could provide rich rewards for Warren, who said she had not thought about what she would do with the money.
The former Harvard law professor has written nine previous books, including two national bestsellers. Warren's pursuit of a book deal less than three months into her term places on her a familiar path of politicians seeking to tell their story in greater detail, in their own words.
Agents and editors in the book industry say there is likely to be wide interest in Warren's take on the tumultuous financial industry meltdown and government's response, although how sizable an advance she gets would depend on how much she is willing to reveal and how strong the proposal is.
"There's incredible interest in her story,'' Todd Shuster, a New York-based agent, said when told of Warren's proposal. "The market for books by prominent women in positions of power is strong. I'm not sure that her political philosophy is entirely known and if she she speaks to it vividly and candidly, there would be a robust market for it.''
In her short Senate tenure, Warren has largely stayed out of the media spotlight. She has yet to appear on a Sunday morning news program, the quickest way to take a national platform. But she made a splash by asking pointed questions during Senate Banking Committee hearings that became sensations on YouTube and liberal blogs.
A book would give her an additional context to air her views, not only on the page but by signing books, delivering speeches, and participating in national television interviews.
Warren said she didn't anticipate enlisting a collaborator or a ghostwriter ("I like to write,'' she said), but she would have some research assistance. She said that she would work on the book during her personal time, but also viewed it as an extension of her role as US senator.
"I'm not going to take away from my Senate duties,'' she said. "But I see this as part of what I've been working on for all my career. For me, this book is about doing more for the people.''
She added, "I see this as another tool in the toolbox to help affect change.''
Warren and Barnett have been contemplating the book since before she decided to run for Senate, when she was a rising figure in Washington who was arguing for more consumer protections. She and Barnett plan to start meeting with publishers over the next several weeks.
Brown was a bigger media celebrity than Warren after he stunned the political world by seizing the Massachusetts Senate seat left vacant by the death of Senator Edward M. Kennedy in 2009. He began shopping a book proposal in early February 2010, within weeks of winning his special election. Brown's tax returns showed that he received $1 million for the book.
Deval Patrick received $1.35 million for "A Reason to Believe,'' a memoir published in 2011 by Broadway Books, a division of Random House. Last year, he signed a deal with Hyperion to publish two books. The first, "Faith in the Dream,'' was published in May as an e-book. The second book is slated to be released in 2014.
Once Warren has a publisher, she will need to file details about the deal with the Senate Ethics Committee. She said it was a coincidence that the target date for publication would be 2014, when interest in the 2016 presidential election begins to rise.
It also may be on the shelves at the same time as Patrick's next book.
"Is that right?'' Warren said. "Competing? I guess I would say maybe we'll do a two-fer.''

Cadillac DeVille
In the recent past you have helped me out a lot with information regarding repairs to my '01 DeVille and I see that you're having some of the same issues I've had in the past. As far as the window regulators are concerned I too have replaced all regulators at least once & even twice on the rear passenger side window (for a total of five regulators). I was able to get the regulator for much cheaper on-line compared to dealer prices (believe I paid $65 brand new with motor as oppose to the $250 the dealer wanted). I was also able to complete the install myself in just over an hour (even the dealer claimed it was extensive). Send me a good email address and I'll forward you the step by step instructions with photos I used to replace the regulator(s). I know this is probably too little too late, but I have the information if you need it. SFC A.C0
Sgt., I've not done any of the regulator replacements, as I noted, I've got an extended warranty with $50 deductible. I don't have much problem paying the $50 and letting them pay for it.
My extended warranty ends in June or so. I've already talked with the dealer that sold me the current one. They will sell another one, but it will be for $2,400 with a $200 deductible.0
Adding to my previous message....
A $200 deductible for each repair is a little steep for me, especially considering how many things have been repaired on this car. And, even with all the repairs, with only a $50 deductible, the current extended warranty probably hasn't been a good deal, I probably haven't covered its cost.
So, when my current extended warranty ends, I'm probably going to get rid of this Deville. My wife still wants a Cadillac, and is now making noises about an Escalade, which I dis-favor even more than her Devilles we have owned in the past. I've proposed selling her Deville and my Corvette and buying a Cadillac CTS-V. This still gives her a Cadillac and me a killer fast car. But she thinks it's 'too small'. Loves her tanks.
And, to the GM rep that responded, I don't have any problem with the repairs as done. I do think Cadillac has long had a design problem with the regulator on its sedans. For years and years. And they knew about it and did nothing about it with a re-designed system. I've just read too much about regulator failures on the 1999 (whatever the years of the last Deville re-design) thru at least my year, 2005, having multiple, and early failure of the windows. And the cable that breaks not being changed or strengthened.
Also acone, I know that the regulator can be bought from several venders on eBay for about $45 dollars, without the motor.
I live in a small town. We lost our CAdillac dealership a couple of years ago. They just were not selling enough new cars for Cadillac to allow them to retain the dealership. I think they probably closed a lot of smaller Caddy dealership across the state. There may only be dealers in Okla City and Tulsa across the state. But since they still have the GM truck distributership, they can repair Cadillacs and honor the GMPP extended warranty I have. They cannot do new car warranty, but no problem with the extended warranty.0
Good deal, just offering my two cents worth of assistance. BTW, what type of extended warranty coverage comes with a $200 deductible (seems extrmemly high to me)? SFC A.C0
I looked yesterday and could not find my note about the warranty. It might still be a GMPP, what the current one is. Or not a top-line GMPP version. Note that this car, a 2005, is now 8 years old, based a build date of mid-2004. I've got to buy this new warranty at least one month before the current one runs out (in June, I think). The salesman pushed me hard to cancel the current one NOW, receiving some refund money and buying the new one. Of course giving him $2,400 and a fat commission right now. Kind of like 'Are you going to buy a car today?'.
A better approach probably would be to keep the $2,400 in my pocket, find a good independent mechanic for any future work. If future repairs start to approach $2,000, dump the car quickly. This would still be a money-saving option.0
Bolivar, are you familiar with any of these other 3rd party warranty offers we see on TV? After completing a good amount of work on my '01 DeVille I think I might need to look into paying for a good warranty coverage myself. SFC A.C0
I am trying to contact ACONES regarding 2005 Deville rear drivers side window regulator replacement and/or replacement of the motor. This was discussed previously in msg. 2607 dated Apr 28, 2012, to Boliver. Instructions were offered if one would provide their good email address. I would like to request instructions be emailed to [email protected], attn: Lecus. Thank you very much for your help.0
kitcloudkick3r Posts: 15Bolivar,
Just an FYI i had a 99 with the same stupid window regulator issues.. I found a parts salvage site online and purchased the window motors, keeping the old regulators, drilled out the rivets and replaced the motors with motors from a Toyota Camry.. they fit right in.. and still worked after the car caught fire.. So i know its gotta be a Government Motors issue..
Aside from your windows issues..
Here is the list of my issues with mine before it caught fire..
1. Replaced the power window motors after the dealer gave me an estimate of 1K dollars a window.. HA! No wonder they went out of business!
2. Replaced the exhaust with Flowmasters since the stock exhaust rotted off.
3. Replaced the thermostat twice (Yes i used the Tablets of conditioner)
4. Replaced the brakes
5. Replaced the torque converter
6. Replaced the Tires with Vogue Tyre's
7. Replaced the power seat motor and had the seat refilled with foam due to leaning
8. Replaced the wheel bearings
9. Replaced the Ball Joint bushings
At 71K miles the Car started to over heat. I was told that the head gasket was fine.. I never saw water in the Oil, or coolant.
10. I replaced the Radiator with a High Flow Dragster triple core aluminum radiator.
11. I added to the stock Fan, one that was 3050CFM
12. I hard wired the second Fan to the ignition switch.
13. I replaced the stock radio after it broke, and found out i had to rewire the alarm system. YAY for Great idea! Who ever thought this was a good idea should be slapped!
14. Replaced the head lights due to deterioration in the plastic which caused them to yellow badly.
After all the steps to make this car a joy, and i loved this car..
I traded in a 1999 Corolla with 325K miles for this car which had 58K miles on it when i bought it. The corolla had everything, all things worked, no issues EVER with anything in the 325K miles.. (exception of a clutch)
At 91K miles my Cadillac caught fire on the highway. I was trapped in the middle lane in NYC traffic, it was raining, and the dead of summer.. i had my fan on and watched the temp climb. Without a way to the side of the road i got out of the car.. and watched as the hood charred and the fire melted the plastic components..
91K miles, not 191K or 291K miles, No at 91K miles my Cadillac Caught FIRE.. I have since replaced it with a Toyota Sienna, which although not nearly as comfortable.. Everything works, and things that break don't have a dealership that costs two arms for part and both legs for service..
If i were you i would sell it, get a Lexus.. They are as such that you will pay it off and drive it another 200K miles before you have to replace a single thing..0
I've got an extended warranty on the 2005. Each of the 4 motors cost me the $50 deductible on the warranty.
I've replaced the driver power window motor on a 97 Deville. Just get the door panel off and it's right there. Take 3 bolts out, I think, and replaced it with a Siemens brand motor bought at a parts house.
I don't know about a rear one. Take the door panel off and look around.
If I'm replying to the wrong person about the window motor, sorry, but just read about it here.0
Oh, another repair.
Right rear shock started leaking oil. I thought it was brake fluid, so it being the shock was a easier problem than a caliper, or whatever.
I had the dealer look at it when the last window regulator was being installed, and they told me it was a shock. Told me it was $375 for the pair - I don't know if this was just parts or parts and labor.
This is just the 'regular' air self leveling shocks. Not the ones with electronic controls embedded. I found on Amazon, $61.30, including shipping, for the PAIR, Monroe brand. The upper tube is a little bigger than stock, but it is not hitting on anything, the air nozzle was exactly the same - overall a perfect fit.
I did the replacement myself. The air line just clips on and off. Top is inside the trunk behind the carpet. Bottom is two bolts. Jacked up the car, got a bottle jack to raise the rear suspension a little so the shock was not 'loaded' and this was about the simplest shock replace I've done. Did one side at a time, didn't even get both wheels off the ground at the same time.
Shocks are maintenance items, so it was not covered under my extended warranty.0
This car just continues to break.
Latest, after all 4 window regulators being replaced in the last 18 months, the left rear window again stopped working.
I was hoping for a lose connector from the previous repair.
But this time it was the electronic 'module' in the door. I think the electronics is needed for the auto-down feature on a window.
Another $50 deductible and it's fixed. Warranty expired last of July. This car is needing to go away after that.0
hi, bolivar, i also have '05 deville 85K on it. no issues till this month 1)rusty brankeline (rear) rf wheel bearing, oil pan leak, lf axle cover?...tot. to dealer $1,800. have a feeling it is only the beginning, my dealer over NH has a real nice '08 DTS 38k. miles loaded for $24k....what are your thoughts? thanks. Chris in Maine.0
In general, if you want to stay with a Deville type, I would try to move up a couple more years. Get something still in the 4 years/50000 warranty. About $28,000, hopefully less, maybe even down to $22,000. Then buy a GMPP warranty for 4 or 5 more years a few months before the factory one expires. What you will find are usually rentals or 3 year lease returns. A 'base' Deville/DTS has a lot of stuff on it, but even rentals are now being nicely equipped. It going to cost you about $2,500 or so for a GMPP. So, for around $30,000 (as I said, hopefully less) you will get a 3 year old Deville/DTS and be covered for everything except 'maintenace items and trim) for 4,5, or 6 years, with maybe just a $50/$100 deductible for repairs. And, if you read back thru this topic, our 2005 has had several repairs.
I'm in Okla, but here is where I bought my GMPP, phone calls and credit card charge.

These guys beat the pricing locally by several hundreds of dollars. And it's the same GMPP sold anywhere, your car's VIN is on it and any GM dealership will do the work and you pay a deductible, if you don't buy a $0 deductible. I can extend the GMPP on the 2005, but it will cost a lot, and that's for a $200 deductible. Even though I'm not sure the repairs on our 2005 over the past 4 years have exceeded the price I had to pay, I felt better about owning the Deville. Otherwise owning one scares me.
I can find the price of the parts put on, via part numbers listed on the work order, but I don't know the labor cost for a warranty repair. Dealer went into the Heat/AC three times. I think they replaced three servo/motors in there and also replaced the dash control unit. I don't remember exactly, but these parts were about $750-1000 or so. Also all 4 window regulars were replaced. Both coil packs, at different times. The front collision/air bag sensor. Maybe something else, don't remember right now.0
I just have to compare the Cadallics we've owned with the Hondas we've owned. Had a 2002 Accord for about 7 years and 45,000 miles. Put a power lock module on it (under warranty) because it decided to lock itself whenever it wanted to. Have a 2006 Ridgeline truck with about 43,000 miles. It has never been back for a repair.
I had a 94 Ford Ranger truck that I loved. Owned it from 1997 til about 2005, with about 70,000 miles. It had a few things fail on it, but overall I considered these maintanence, with some things failing because of old age rather that wear and tear. Radiator leaked, front brake rotors warped, radio speakers blew out, Plug wires and plugs, and the strange suspension set up had a large rubber biscuit thing wear and caused squeaks/groans/etc. I repaired all of these myself with parts from local parts places. After reading online about the process, the suspension was not very tough. Just had to get a large socket and box end wrench and a cheater bar to break loose and retighten a couple of nuts that were about 150 and 200 foot-pounds of torque. The coil spring came out without a special tool, and didn't bounce around my garage or off my head.
Compared to the list of things on the 3 Devilles, these other cars had nothing much fail.0

judylee13 Posts: 1Today I'm going to my local Cadillac dealer to have my 3rd window regulator replaced since March 2012 at a cost of nearly $500.00 each! I purchased this car in August of 2011 so I don't know how many times they have already been replaced. According to all the info i've read and been told, this is a very common problem with Devilles from pre 2000 thru at least 2005. Cadillac is well aware of this issue so I'm perplexed as to why there hasn't been a recall and a fix.
My issue with this problem is not just about the cost or frequency but rather the Safety issue. This always seems to happen in late evening when i'm nearly 100 miles from home and, it happens without any warning. I'm afraid to go on a trip or even be out late at night for fear I could be attacked, robbed or whatever. This is indeed a very dangerous safety issue. GM has the ability to correct the design flaw of having plastic connected to metal so this does not happen again ever. Please GM, do something before someone gets hurt.

rocket11213 Posts: 1As mentioned above I like to know what this Color Black Materail is made of and how to treat it care for it to keep it looking like new"? Also goes down on both back doors edges. I been told by the mechnic and fellow I purchased from the 1/4 black roof shell is made of fiberglass, but he also not sure what the material which to me is like materail simular to that of convertable which I don't know what is called or how to keep that like new,
My black 1/4 top roof is in new like condition, goes with the black leather interior and even leather steering wheel. car loaded with all kinds of features. I just had the car detailed. even them guys not sure what is mated of , just said washed liked rest of car, I want to know if there is anything I should use to care for this section on care to keep like new? purhaps there are some products out there to protect it from sun and weather, I don't want ton see it fade or weather cause lack of using some product. classic car owners with this materal must use some thing to keep like new condition I would think.0
Well, I don't think a 1/4 roof is anything 'stock'. This was added by some after-market outfit. All the 'vinyl roofs' on later model Cadillacs are after-market, these do not come as a Cadillac 'stock' item. I would guess the material is somewhat like all 'vinyl' roof material, and cleaners and 'dressings' found in auto part houses could be used.0
If you are spending that much for a regulator, then you are getting jerked. I bought my drivers side regulator with motor for 36 bucks brand new on eBay over 2 years ago, took it over to pep-boys and for about $40 they installed it. So, I got everything fixed for under $100 and for the past two years I have had no problems and I use the regulator several times a day. Stay away from the dealers, unless you have a power train warranty that covers all repairs for $0. Only a fool goes to a dealer for out of pocket repairs.
This is a very sad state of affairs. Cadillac stopped making the Full Size American Luxury Car that has a V8.
The last Full Size Caddy was the 2011 DTS (Deville Touring Sadan). Now they only make these cheezy small euro looking sports trash, i.e CTS, XTS, ATS, they may say Cadillac. But, they are not Caddies, too small and they look like hell!
GM must be out of their minds to take the Deville/DTS off their lineup. The DTS was their flagship car. Now the American Dream is gone. Even Lincoln took the Towncar off their lineup.
I belong to several large Cadillac forums and 1000's upon 1000's of Caddy lovers are sick and heartbroken over the end of Cadillac as we once knew it. When you saw a Caddy driving down the street, you could see it was a Caddy a mile away. All these new cars that Cadillac is making look like every other car. How can a limo be made and feel roomy if it's an XTS, etc;?
I have an 01' Deville that I try to keep in the best condition possible, I even put a brand new tranny into it. There is nothing left that is large, plush, powerful and comfortable like a Deville...NOTHING!
So, when I'm forced to get a "new" Caddy, it will be a 2011 DTS. But after that, then what? GM made a huge mistake taking the DTS off their lineup. So, that's it folks, Cadillac threw in the towel and are just making cars, not CADDIES.
So, take good care of your DTS/Deville. Everything else they make is garbage, I'm sure millions will agree. If GM did some real research, they would find they made a horrible mistake by removing the Deville.
jaber_al Posts: 1Hi All, I bought 2003 cadilac DTS from Japan, but the info screen in the dashboard is in Japanese, how do i change to English!, the navigation screen is changed to crap one, does not work with the steering commands, like volume ,etc. I thought i can change from the navigation screen but it is not OEM, help how can i do it without it !0

cadillacsarabi Posts: 2Hey guys,
I have a 1995 Cadillac DeVille and my a/c blower motor will not stop running. It has killed my battery 2 times. I have to keep it unplugged until I need it and it only blows cold air on high through the dash to defrost the windshield. What could this be so I can have air flowing again?0
