Buying American Cars What Does It Mean?
Small cars really aren't my thing, but there were a few things I actually liked about the Cobalt. First off, for me at least, it had about the best seating position of any small car out there. Maybe the seats weren't contoured and bolstered like a Civic Si or Mazda 3 or whatever the benchmark is in small cars. But it had enough legroom to more than make up for that. And, even though the interior took a lot of flak I'm sure, for being too plasticky, at least it all lined up fairly well.
If I ever got into a situation where I needed to do a really long commute for work or whatever, a Cobalt would actually suit me better than a modern Civic or Corolla, as the seat goes back far enough for me to be really comfortable. I'd have to test-sit again to make sure, but I think the Cobalt actually fit me better, up front at least, than its Cruze replacement!
uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 7,494It is possible that no CR subscribers owned the first year and no complaints or praises were available. Does CR ever state how many vehicles their advice is based on?
I'm not aware of them posting that information. My guess is, I bet they have information on the '05 Cobalt, being a high-volume car even in its first year. The vehicles they have insufficient data for, usually seem to be ones you'd expect...oddball Isuzu products, etc.
Maybe the seats weren't contoured and bolstered...
Actually, the only thing I didn't care for on my last Equinox rental was "over" bolstered seat bottoms. Sometimes with all the heat they are taking, I think there can be a tendency to take Car & Driver stuff too seriously. Most people don't buy for the same reasons as the car mag reviewers get into. Often the Asian seats have two big issues, particularly if you are driving for any length of time, or in heavy rush hour traffic - short seat bottoms and inadequate leg and headroom. Doesn't seem like as big of a deal until you're tired or stressed behind the wheel.
My guess Uplander, either CR data or your ownership was a statistical anomaly. My complaint with Cobalt rentals was that I felt like my [non-permissible content removed] was on the ground driving it. Otherwise, it drove better than the interior quality would have led you to believe.
I've noticed that as long as a seat can support my thighs and my lower back, I can pretty much drive until I fall asleep behind the wheel. Side bolstering is nice to hold you in place in spirited cornering, but in generic day-to-day driving, if my thighs are left hanging, and the seat puts me in a slouching position, that's what kills it for me.
And yeah, I've noticed that about some Asian cars. IMO, it seems like they'll sometimes take what should be a compact car seat, and slip it in a midsize. I noticed that with the 2013 Accord, and as a result wasn't overly impressed.
too cumbersome, and it sits up too high and is a bit hard to get into.
That's pretty much the story with all new pickups we get. And don't forget trying to get something in or out of the truck bed.
My brother's newish F-150 doesn't feel too stiff but I don't have too many hours in it, and most of those hours were with four of us inside. If you don't care about the mpg hit, you could try tossing (er, forklifting) eight or ten sandbags into the back and see how it rides a bit loaded.

Some years back, my wife and I were in the UP. I was parked in a grocery store lot waiting for her when this big old Dodge pick-up truck pulls in the space next to me. Much to my amazement, the passenger door opens, a stool gets lowered on a rope and this little old lady gets out, stuffs the stool and rope back in and heads to the store. They beat my wife back and she reversed the process. American ingenuity!
That's pretty much the story with all new pickups we get. And don't forget trying to get something in or out of the truck bed.
Yeah, that's one thing I learned with my Ram...don't try to lift anything over the sides of it...just drop the tailgate and go in from behind!
I really wish they could have kept full-sized trucks about the same size as my old '85 Silverado, which I held onto even though I bought the Ram. My friends refer to it as the "real" truck because I use it for dirty stuff, while the Ram is still too new and purty to muss up like that! :blush:
But, the Silverado is actually better for 3 across seating. It gives up some shoulder room, but both are so wide it's ridiculous. We're talking like 66.5" here versus 65", while I don't think there's a car out there anymore, now that the Crown Vic is gone, that has more than 60". But, the old Chevy has a much better seating position. Lower floor, less intrusive dash, and thicker seat cushion.
And, at 6'3", even I have to climb up into the Ram, a bit. With the Chevy, it's more like just stepping in. And it doesn't sit up so high that it's hard to lift things over the side, hop into the bed, etc. On the plus side, the Ram has better legroom, more storage behind the seat, and I'm sure a MUCH better crumple zone. But it's also 233" long, whereas I think the Chevy is only 212".

My Nissan Frontier is just perfect for getting in and out of. So we drive it more than the other vehicles. I like to sit on the side of the seat with my feet flat on the ground. Then swing my feet in. The Sequoia is just a bit to tall. The LS400 is WAAAY TOOO low. No more sedans for us. The mid sized SUVs like the Touareg and ML350 are just about right.
dave8697 Posts: 1,498Brought my DeVille in because I didn't want to mess with replacing a power window regulator. Besides the window fix, they told me it needed some other stuff.
rear lower control arm rubber bushings were worn a little. They can't be replaced without new arms too....$1106 to do both sides
Front axle brgs were not perfect. New ones were $910 for both sides.
rear brake pads had 2 mm left . New rear disc pads installed for $486 or OEM pads for $562.
At that point, he went into the ride quality loss if I didn't do it all. I said that I would ask my son who takes home $5 an hour if he had a couple years worth of future income to give to ease the hardship of having to endure such ride problems. In effect, the car was nearly totaled as a quick check showed it has a book value of $3100 and needed the window repair and had 90% worn out front brakes.
I saved myself over $900 by changing the front and rear brakes Saturday. One side of the rear were actually down to 1 mm left at the low point.
Did an oil change too and it took 9 qts. for '01 DeVille to refill.

Orange says no white iPhone 4 in the UK before end of year
While Apple has said the white iPhone 4 was being delayed until later this year, Orange is now emailing UK customers to tell them that pretty much means end of the year.
We wanted to let you know that there won't be any white iPhone 4's in the UK until the end of the year.
If you're happy to wait another few months we'll let you know as soon as they're back in stock. want an iPhone 4 now?
Alternatively, if you want it now, click here or visit your local Orange shop to get the iPhone 4 Black 16GB or 32GB today. Best wishes
Whatever production problem Apple is having, it's not showing signs of ending any time soon. Are you still waiting for a white iPhone 4, or have you given up hope and gone with black?
[Thanks Hassan]
There are 20 comments. Add yours.
This is ridiculous...i wish they could at least let us kno what the problem is...im still waiting tho lol
oh yea first!!
I've been done waiting since they said that they would be delayed to "later on this year". I'm happy to say that I've been rocking the black 32Gb iPhone 4, jailbroken iOS 4, black bumper, & invisibleShield. Loving it to the fullest. Maybe I'll get it in white next year, or 2 years from now. I'm just glad that I don't have a 3G anymore.
I been waiting and still waiting.. But if I don't know nothing at the end of September I'm gonna order the black one. I have to lines so I would just get it with the other line and than just switch phones lol cause I'm getting tired of waiting.....!!!!!
No point waiting anymore as it would jus extend my contract further!
I tried to wait. That only lasted a week until AT&T opened up sales to all customers. I couldn't stand it any longer.
I am sick of waiting.. I been waiting and I am going to continue to wait.. Hopefully early-late September.
I stopped waiting on July 31st, next day jailbreak comes out. Perfect timing! Once the white phone comes out I will sell my black phone and get a white. More then likely making a profit in the process.
I'm getting tired of waiting. I really do want a white one, but I can't live with my SE C702 anymore. If this is really true I'm going to order a black. I'll have to wait one month for a black one get to my hands as no operators has it in stock.
August 10, 2010 - 11:46 am
So the invisisheild works with the bumper? That's awesome.
Oh. The white iPhone.... I want to hold one before I decide if I'm gonna switch. For the meantime I'm very satisfied with the black iPhone 4.
Hi, i bought one Apple Iphone 4 16GB White from http://www.trade-whole.com/new-limitedquantity-apple-iphone-4-white-16gb... in competitive price last week ,it is very wonderful, i like it very much.

This is nuts. I am still going to hold out for the white one, but I wish they'd give us another tentative date and a reason... I'm justifying it in my mind that they're fixing all the problems the black one may or may not be having.
Although I am not getting a White iPhone from Orange, I think this is ridiclous.
Shouldn't be happening.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
It hasn't taken long for Anderson native Scott Steger to start working toward revitalizing the sport he holds so dear.
Steger last year became the golf pro at Anderson Country Club. Now he and Fall Creek Golf Course pro Jim Phillips are trying to resurrect the Madison County Golf Tournament that used to be the kingpin for amateur golfers each year.
"We used to set a limit for 120 golfers and we would get entries for 160 who wanted to play," said one of the tournament's most regular and successful participants, Jay Dixon. "I think it's a fantastic idea."
The idea is to play two rounds, the first at Fall Creek and the second at Anderson Country Club. The dates are July 27 and 28.
"The only requirement is that the golfer has to live in Madison County and belong to a club where they have an established handicap," Steger said. "We want to rejuvenate this."
Apparently the tournament was last held in 2006 and at that time just 18 players competed.
"It would be a great accomplishment if they could do it," said Grandview golf pro Tod Windlan. "It used to be one of the finest amateur tournaments in the state. I used to caddy for Steve Barnett in it when I was in high school. I think the courses got a little greedy on what they charged for a round of golf and some people today don't like to play their own ball and compete. We can get 45 to 50 players for a scramble but we might get 30 for stroke play."
Three flights are planned for the tournament. The top flight will be for players with a 7 handicap or less. The next flight would be for handicaps 8 to 17 and a third flight for golfers with an 18 and above handicap.
"We are looking at an $85 entry fee," Steger said. "That would include greens fees and cart fees. We think that would be an attractive price."
Steger intends to get entry forms printed and distributed to all of the county golf courses. He is looking for hole sponsors. Anyone interested can contact Steger at 642-4353 for more information.
Steve Douglas, long one of the area's best known golfers, is excited about the prospect of the tourney being held again.
"I think Scott (Steger) is a great one to be involved," Douglas said. "Besides Joe Campbell, he's one of the most accomplished golfers from around here. I know he's passionate about this."
It is also possible that there will be flights for senior men and for women in the future if this year's tournament proves to be successful.

The Marion County golf teams squared off Monday with seven other teams from their region at Green Hills Country Club for the regional golf tournament.
All three teams finished in the top five, with East Fairmont taking third, North Marion taking fourth and Fairmont Senior taking fifth. Of the 40 participants, two players from Marion County, Brennon Vincent and Colton Holbert, qualified for the state tournament.
Overall, two teams stood out from the pack as Ritchie County (231) and Roane County (231) came in the top two spots. The next three teams were from Marion County.
East Fairmont, which shot a collective 249, was paced by three solid scores in the 80s.
Brennon Vincent led the Bees by shooting an 80. With that score, Vincent will be heading to the state tournament.
"We were just a little off today," Vincent said of the team's third-place finish.
The other scores for East Fairmont were Mason Weese's 84, Jacob Monell's 85 and Hayden Stewart's 93.
Vincent was proud of the way the entire team played this season, saying, "We played very well all season. Usually if our one and two didn't play good, our three and four would be there to pick us up. We just worked together as a team."
As far as the state tournament goes, Vincent said he doesn't plan on changing anything.
"I'm pretty pumped," he said. "I'm just going to keep working and keep practicing."
North Marion, which finished five strokes behind East Fairmont, was led by Holbert's 80, followed by Cole Richards' 86, Dustin Fisher's 88 and Matt Martin's 96.
"We had a pretty good year," Holbert said. "Up and down at times, but I felt we were pretty consistent. I'm proud of it."
As for Holbert, he'll join Vincent at the state tournament after playing in his first regional.
"I was just fortunate enough that I played good enough today when it counted, and make it to states," he said.
Much like Vincent, Holbert said he doesn't plan on changing much when it comes to the state tournament.
"It doesn't really feel any different. I still have to take care of business," he said. "Of course, there's more on the line to be a state champion."
Fairmont Senior, which finished second in the Big 10 Championship a week ago, capped its season with a fifth-place finish after being led by Gage Hannah, who shot an identical score to the one he shot last week with an 81. Bailey Mohr shot an 84, Logan Orton shot a 96 and Zach Phillips shot a 98.
Much like the rest of the Marion County players, Hannah was happy with his team's season.
"This was a good season. We had a lot of young guys. Me and Bailey tried to teach them a lot," he said. "Hopefully after we're gone they continue to have a good program."
Hannah, a senior, was just one stroke away from making it to the state tournament, but he wasn't disappointed in the way he played.
"I played real good on the front nine but I was kind of a little shaky on the back," he said. "There were putts that I left out there. One stroke, that's the difference. That's just the way golf is. I'm not disappointed about it, but I'm happy with our season. Big 10 was the highlight."
The overall medalist for the match was Sydney Snodgrass of Ritchie County, who shot a 71 for the day.
The state tournament will be held Oct. 8.

BlackBerry files suit against Ryan Seacrest startup Typo over iPhone keyboard accessory
Typo, a company founded by entrepreneur Laurence Hallier and TV host and media personality Ryan Seacrest, announced the Typo Keyboard attachment for iPhone would be available for pre-order this month but they seem to of have run into some trouble with BlackBerry's legal team. BlackBerry has now filed a lawsuit against Typo Products LLC asserting that the company has blatantly copied BlackBerry's keyboard with its iPhone keyboard case.
This is a blatant infringement against BlackBerry's iconic keyboard, and we will vigorously protect our intellectual property against any company that attempts to copy our unique design. From the beginning, BlackBerry has always focused on offering an exceptional typing experience that combines a great design with ergonomic excellence. We are flattered by the desire to graft our keyboard onto other smartphones, but we will not tolerate such activity without fair compensation for using our intellectual property and our technological innovations
That according to Steve Zipperstein, BlackBerry's General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer. Much like how Steve Jobs boasted about having plenty of patents for the iPhone, BlackBerry has plenty for their iconic keyboard and does have a bit of history putting them to use. We'll obviously have to wait and see the outcome of this one but there's certainly some visual similarities there.

There are 30 comments. Add yours.
It looks pretty much the same, i have a q10. Only difference i can spot is there are to extra keys on the bottom row.
Usually these "Hey, you did something that looks kinda like something we did" suits drive me crazy, but in this case, the very first thought I had upon seeing the case was "Wow, a BB Bold keyboard on an iPhone." Hard to complain about this one.
But then, I had the exact same thought about the Motorola Droid Pro a few years ago, and I don't remember any legal action against Moto at that point.
When the keyboard is a major selling point in your products then of course it's a big deal. Kinda like how Apple would sue if someone copied their design to the T.
Oh come on.... BlackBerry, you're better than this. Suing because you can't make it isn't the answer.
They have every right to sue, you don't think that loos like a bb keyboard? Or di you just come here to express your negative views towards bb and samsung. I'm just curious.
LOL Dont know where i got Samsung from my bad.
It's called "standing your ground"
Sent from the iMore App
If Blackberry made a keyboard case for iPhone then maybe it would give some hope for the business.
I don't understand how Seacrest didn't see this coming. It's like he tore the keyboard of a bold and made a case out of it.
Go get 'em BlackBerry! Just because BlackBerry isn't doing so well doesn't mean they could take advantage like that.
Sent from the iMore App
Go BlackBerry!!
They have a right to go after them, but it shows just how far BB has fallen that they're concerned over a niche product like this. It's hardly the first keyboard case to be made for iPhone, even if this one is very Blackberry-esque.
Maybe they knew it was coming and figured they would throw them a bone, maybe 15% of profits, that means they still come away with 85%. The case looks like it might sell but IMO it ruins the entire look of the iPhone.
Well, I don't have any personal BlackBerry experience, but to me it looks like the keyboard to the palm Prē to me.
While I don't think this is quite the same as the Apple/Samsung suits, it seems close, so can't fault BlackBerry for trying. I think the differences between this case and the Apple/Samsung case will be what allows this to go forward.
The differences? BlackBerry hasn't/isn't going after all phones with keyboards, and this is an accessory, which is not the same as what BlackBerry offers. If they really feel strongly, they would need to go after every keyboard accessory for all mobile devices, no?

No - the merits of any particular patent aside, patent holders are not required to go after everybody to obtain relief from a particular infringement.
Sent from the iMore App
True. This just seems odd. It isn't going after Apple, and really will have only a small impact. Then again, the fact that it was recently all over Apple blogs, certainly maximizes impact/exposure.

Have you actually seen a pre keyboard? It looks nothing like this product
Wonder if they did legal research on the product before making it? Some of these suits are getting crazy. Yes BB has a right to protect it's products, patents, but will they pay more to the legal team, than it is worth it. The bottom line is will they win, and if not how much will it cost? They really need to be more concerned about building the company back up, and making money, not spending it on something like this.
If I were BB and they didn't get my consent, then out of president, yeah, I'd take 'me to court too.

Luckily for Seacrest, the final decision doesn't come down to the judges. America gets to vote. Text "One" for BB or "Two" for TYPO. Tune in tomorrow for the results show. 57 minutes of fluff and and 3 minutes of what you've been watching the entire hour for, covered by ending credits.
LOL. And, America chose...
I thought it was a pretty slick accessory, perhaps cause I loved my BB keyboards. First thing I noticed however, is the shape of the keys (thats important) and the separation bar between keys is a direct copy. Actually, almost pre-ordered one. Wonder if they will ship before the injunction.
Appears to be the inspiration.

The problem with the "Typo" keyboard is, where it's located. When I type on an iPhone, I always go landscape for the wider buttons. The other way has tiny buttons. All this does is provide actual tiny buttons, rather than virtual tiny buttons. No thanks!
This product would have failed anyway. Apple offers no hooks to turn off the on screen keyboard meaning every input box will have the onscreen keyboard.
Well after watching the video it seems that the on-screen keyboard doesn't show with the accessory connected.
Also, I do think that it is a blatant copy, BlackBerry haven't said they are going to stop the product launching it does sound like they want to have an agreement with them so that they can profit from this as well.
Personally, I have adapted to using an on-screen keyboard but i do know that this will appeal to some other people.
Not like anyone will ever buy one...
Someone who wants to look cool but not clever enough to use a virtual keybord, iphone is made for someone who is capable to use it, if you cant, just dont use it.

Apartments for downtown warehouse win Plan Commission approval
A proposal to convert a downtown warehouse into 65 apartments for lower income renters received preliminary zoning approval Monday from the Milwaukee Plan Commission.
Impact Seven Inc. wants to convert the four-story building, at 1300 N. 4th St., into one- and two-bedroom apartments, with an exercise facility, business center and other features, said Todd Hutchison, an Impact Seven employee. The group is a nonprofit developer, but the apartments would pay property taxes.
The $13 million project would be partly financed through federal affordable housing tax credits. Those credits are given to developers in an annual competitive process.
Developers that receive the credits agree to provide apartments at below-market rents to people earning no more than 60% of the area's median income. The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority usually announces in April which developers receive credits from that year's allocation.
The building's residents would likely include people working at Time Warner Cable and other nearby employers, Hutchison said. Time Warner announced Friday it's hiring 200 additional employees at its divisional headquarters.
Sterling Homes Ltd., a Chicago-area developer, last year considered converting the warehouse, now used by C. Coakley Relocation Systems, into market-rate apartments, Hutchison said.
But the cost of converting the building without the use of public financing was too high, Hutchison said. That led Sterling to contact Impact Seven, which is based in the northern Wisconsin community of Almena, and has done other lower-income apartment developments in Milwaukee.
Impact Seven also will seek federal and state historic preservation tax credits, which cover part of the costs of restoring older buildings for new uses. That restoration work would include opening up the building's windows, which are now boarded up, Hutchison said.
The development would include 30 parking spaces in the building's basement, and a 42-space surface parking lot that Coakley Relocation now uses on the building's north side, Hutchison said.
Also, the building's partial fifth floor would be used to provide access to a roof-top deck, he said.
"That's one of the things we're real excited about on this project," Hutchison said.
If the project receives financing, construction could begin this fall, he said. The apartments would take about a year to build.
The apartments need zoning approval from the Common Council.

"the cost of converting the building without the use of public financing was too high" sums it up.
That about sums it up daddyo. I'd like to see the names of 10 developments or projects in the past 2 years in Milwaukee that didn't get subsidized in some manner, shape or form to make it worth taken their own risk with their own money.
But because we used PC terms like historic preservation, or tax credit...it makes it sound better. I still need new windows, and I can't even get a tax/energy credit anymore to do that.
Imagine the jobs and economic stimulus that individual property owners could do if they did it on an individual basis, instead of for a developer that will make oodles of money. And yet, if you ask your Congressman or Representative, they will tell you that the state and local government cannot afford to it for individuals anymore. For those years that it was offered, contractors couldn't keep up with the jobs it created it was so successful. Yet if your a developer...or in the inner city...you get help.Hide replies
Actually the vast majority of real estate subsidy goes to the single family home. "The largest expenditure, the mortgage interest tax deduction, overwhelmingly benefits households making more than $200,000. "
New report http://www.smartgrowthamerica.org/2013/01/08/new-report-calls-for-examination-of-federal-real-estate-spending/
What about affordable housing doesn't the city get? They talk and talk and talk about how to improve downtown, especially the west side of downtown and then they do stuff like this. I'm sure the people who spend all that money renting apartments at the Moderne would really appreciate having this a block away. Downtown already has more than enough affordable housing. Continuing to build it in areas where it brings down surrounding property values is killing this city. And continuing to build it downtown may help explain why businesses don't want to locate there.

Vacaville Tech Geek results
I think we set a new standard for tech geekness in getting results posted at Vacaville. On the officials stand instead of hand writing out the results I entered the results into a spreadsheet and saved the results as a csv file. Then instead of having to find someone to run the results down to Reg I emailed the results to Ken Hernendez who was doing the results. Ken would get the emailed file and then import the results into the Sportsbase race day program and then print out the results.
This system worked because Ken could leech Wifi where he was at Reg and I had my wireless broadband card. The nice part about this program is a person only had to enter the results once so we cut down on the number of possible input mistakes. Also Reg didn't have to try and read the poor handwriting of the officials ( another source of possible mistakes). The officials didn't have to call down to Reg to send someone up to get results, or we didn't have to try and find a rider who was heading down by Reg to take the results down for us. Overall I think we speeded up the at race results process and had more accurate results.
This process can work at a number of upcoming races if we have people at Reg and the finishline who have wireless broadband cards. Something promoters of races might want to think about when you have a finishline that is separated from the Reg/results posting area.

There's 2/3rds of a great little indie flick to be found in Automaton Transfusion. Despite a handful of clearly evident flaws (most of which come from the inordinately low budget, and not from a lack of effort), this 71-minute zombie-fest has more than enough energy, mayhem and gore to keep the serious horror freaks entertained -- but one can't help feel that the movie was released in half-cooked form. From the truncated running time to the consistently shoddy video presentation, the thing feels precisely like the "backyard production" that it is. But having survived dozens of these (generally worthless) movies, I'd settle for the "partial" movie that is Automaton Transfusion than most of the other 'do-it-yourself' horror flicks.
You want a plot synopsis? Cool. "A town is overrun by zombies." That's literally it. We're introduced to a broadly forgettable group of characters, but don't worry about trying to keep track of the young folks. 70% of the flick's idiots are dead and zombified before they get six lines of dialog out of their mouths. A small group of survivors bolt from garage to high school to basement, and at every stop there's another (ahem) transfusion of seriously explicit carnage. What the movie lacks in plot development and legitimate characters (which is a lot), it seems intent on making up in gruesome gristle and freakish flesh-eating. (Seriously, this is one splattery movie. There's a quick bit involving a pregnant mother that threw me for a loop, and it's fun when a jaded horror guy gets a surprise.)
"Gore flick" is certainly a legitimate sub-genre beneath the horror heading, and Automaton Transfusion is most definitely one of those. It barely makes an attempt at being "scary," but thankfully it does take its zombie stuff pretty seriously. (Nothing sinks a $25,000 horror movie like a cast who keeps winking at the camera.) If you find yourself having a hard time with the flick's aggressively grungy look, just pretend you're watching a sketchy old zombie relic from 1982. Once I got used to the movie's "handycam" look, it actually added a little campy charm to the proceedings. And say what you will about the questionable acting or the almost complete lack of "plot," but for a mega-low-budget movie, the gore effects are both powerfully plentiful and surprisingly effective. Oh, and the score is quite good. That always helps.
Given the movie's brief running time and almost ridiculously abrupt ending, part of me wishes that someone had given the Automaton producers an extra 10 grand to polish their baby up a little. As it stands, it's an amusing diversion for only the most ardent of horror fans. But give these guys a half-decent production budget, and I bet they'd turn out one powerhouse horror flick. Perhaps the fact that Automaton Transfusion was purchased and distributed by the Weinstein brothers means that director Steven C. Miller will have a little more cash on hand as he moves forward on Automaton Transfusion: Contingency. Yep, the sequel's already brewing.
Fortunately the DVD extras seem intent on making up for the relatively brief movie. There's a solid 26-minute "making-of" featurette that offers a few interviews and segments of on-set footage, as well as a feature-length audio commentary from writer/director Steven C. Miller and producers William Clevinger and Mark Thalman. The (optional) commentary continues on four deleted scenes. One of Miller's short films, Suffer or Sacrifice, is also included here, as are two music videos: "Can You Hear Me Now" by Blinded Black and "Arsenaholic" by Dancefloor Tragedy. Rounding out the (surprisingly stocked) DVD is the Automaton Transfusion trailer.
Basically, when I'm "judging" a movie I look at A) what it's trying to do, and B) what it had to work with. Based only on those criteria, I'd certainly call Automaton Transfusion movie a successful effort. Maybe not a cult classic waiting to happen, but certainly more worthwhile than most low-budget zombie flicks. And no, I have no idea what the title means.

How the Fork, the Pot, and the Oven Changed the Way Humans Lived
Food writer Bee Wilson explains how kitchen technologies have changed the human body and the economy.
Since the Stone Age, when humans learned to make tools, there has been an evolution in the preparation and consumption of food. Some kitchen technologies, like the oven and the refrigerator, have transformed gender roles and economies. Less recognized gadgets, like the cooking pot and the fork, have even physically changed the human body. In Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat, historian and food writer Bee Wilson charts the evolution of kitchen innovations and traditions. Wilson recently spoke to U.S. News about the history of kitchen tools and their significance. Excerpts:
Does what you cook and eat with matter?
What you cook and eat with hugely matters. I think we've underestimated how much the tools and techniques of the kitchen are important. And I realized more and more as I was writing this book that the tools and techniques really can transform everything, from the cultural connotations of food to its nutritional value to how it tastes.
Is there a relationship between obesity and the techniques used to prepare food today?
There's a growing body of evidence suggesting that the way we think of nutritional values is really far too narrow because it doesn't take into account processing. And there has been a series of studies done showing that to the extent the food is processed, how finely it's chopped, the degree to which it's cooked, hugely affects the amount of energy we can then derive from the food.
[Check out U.S. News Weekly, and insider's guide to politics and policy.]
How else have kitchen tools affected the human body?
I was startled to come across the work of this anthropologist, Charles Loring Brace, who argues that there was this change in the entire structure of human jaws around 250 years ago. And the only plausible explanation for this is the adoption of the knife and fork at the table. You see the change happening in China around 900 years earlier, the reason being chopsticks. The overbite happened quite suddenly in response to the adoption of the knife and fork, and obviously the time frame is far too short for that to be any sort of an evolutionary change—it's just something that happens in childhood based on how we use our teeth.
How did the fork become an eating utensil?
Its roots are in Italy. They [adopted] forks from medieval time onwards, the reason being pasta. Forks are the perfect instruments for twiddling long noodles or spaghetti.
How was it received in the rest of Europe?
They thought the fork was either something really silly, this kind of effeminate thing that real men wouldn't use. Or it had kind of satanic connotations because of the devil's pitchfork.
[See photos as the White House Unveils 2012 Holiday Decorations.]
When did forks become standard cutlery?
It took a while. In medieval times, people would travel to Italy and sometimes come back with forks. They were used from Elizabethan times, let's say the 16th century, for sweetmeats. But it was really only in the late 18th century that it became absolutely standard to lay a knife and fork at the table.
How did the cooking pot affect culture?
The moment, around 10,000 years ago, that people started cooking things in pots, for me that's the beginning of proper cuisine, rather than just mere heating. Until you have a cooking pot, you can't engage in any of that kind of intermingling of flavors, which really is the essence of all great cooking. And it also [had] a really dramatic impact on the human body, because archaeologists found that until the adoption of the cooking pot, no one who had lost all of their teeth would survive into adulthood. Chewing was a completely essential survival skill. [With] cooking pots, and the consequent ability to cook things down to a porridge consistency, suddenly people who don't have their teeth can survive.
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]
What impact did the invention of the home oven have on human life?
The enclosure of the oven is part of this progressive closing off of the fire in our lives. If you think how people would have cooked for most of history, the focus both of the kitchen—and of human life in general—was an open fire. The very meaning of the word "focus" comes from the Latin for fireplace. You look at the modern kitchen with its microwave and its gas cooktops, and its various cooking devices with on/off switches—fire is something that we can just summon at will. Ice, in the form of the refrigerator, rather than the fire, has become the new focus.

Hallmark store plans move to G.C.
By The Telegram
By The Telegram
Tandy's Hallmark in Dodge City will be closing May 31 and moving to Garden City, but a new store won't open here until 2014.
Meanwhile, the store, which has been in business for 40 years at 2601 Central Ave., Suite 34, Dodge City, will be setting up a Facebook page to keep customers apprised of developments.
Orders for holiday keepsakes and collectibles like for Precious Moments, Cherished Teddys and Boyd's Bears are being coordinated through Manager Deb Bratton. The store begins taking ornament orders in April, although holiday sales don't start until July, she said.
Bratton, who has been with Tandy's for nearly 15 years, will be moving to the store at 2900 Vine St. in Hays, where the Hallmark Gold Crown store has been located for 10 years. The stores are owned by Tandy and Paul Kornechuk.
Pick-up points will be arranged in Garden City and Dodge City.
The exact location of the new Tandy's Hallmark cannot be disclosed right now because it's still in the planning and development stage and has to be approved by Hallmark, Bratton said.
Tandy's may still be contacted at (620) 225-1556.

Coming soon to a theater near you: a multimillion-dollar battle over coming attractions.
Theater owners are squeezing extra coin out of film companies by charging them to play the trailers for their upcoming movies.
Coming soon to a theater near you: a multimillion-dollar battle over coming attractions.
Theater owners are squeezing extra coin out of film companies by charging them to play the trailers for their upcoming movies.
Traditionally, theater owners were happy to run the advertisements for upcoming movies on the understanding that they drove box-office receipts and concession-stand sales. Studios paid to make the trailers and cinemas screened them. Each movie came with two coming attractions attached, while others ran at the discretion of the theater, often as a result of lobbying by Hollywood marketers.
But now theater owners, realizing the value of having Hollywood's target audience already in the theater, have begun charging movie companies to run their trailers. Although some trailers still run for free, movie distributors complain that they're increasingly being asked to pay to get their trailers played — or get shut out.
OSCARS 2013: Defining scenes | Oscar Watch
"We've reached the tipping point," said Jeffrey Neuman, chief executive of Verites, a Burbank company paid by studios to check theaters to see that trailers are being shown and that marketing materials such as lobby cards and standees are in place. "If you're not one of the ones paying for trailers, you're left struggling for placement."
In one controversial move, the nation's largest cinema chain, Regal Entertainment Group, recently cut the number of trailers that studios can run with their own movies for free from two to one. Some studio executives are privately grumbling about the practice, upset that they are being asked to pay still more to a supposed partner that typically keeps half the box-office receipts.
"It's logical a theater operator has an obligation to market studios' movies, when we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on [making] each one," said one studio executive who asked not to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the topic. "But they have gone all the way around to wanting to be paid."
Four of the major studios — 20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. — reportedly have made annual marketing deals worth several million dollars with theater chains such as Regal and AMC Entertainment. In exchange, the studios are exempt from the one-free-trailer-only rule and get the best possible placement.
Walt Disney Studios and Paramount Pictures don't have such deals, while smaller studios may pay as much as $100,000 to play a trailer for one film.
Some coming attractions still make it on the screen through studio executives lobbying and cajoling contacts at theaters with whom they have long-standing relationships. But such old-fashioned methods that don't involve payments are increasingly rare.
Large theater chains won't publicly acknowledge that they charge for trailers, nor will the studios that pay them. Spokespeople for Regal and AMC declined to comment, as did representatives of Cinemark Holdings Inc. and Carmike Cinemas Inc., the next largest national cinema chains.
MOVIE TRAILERS: What's opening soon
But within the film and exhibition industries, it's common knowledge — and a growing source of resentment.
"Everybody says, 'No, no, there's no money ever paid to show trailers,' but we know that's not the case for some of the big boys," said Rafe Cohen, president of Galaxy Theatres, a Sherman Oaks chain that operates 115 screens. "For us little guys, we'd love to charge for trailers, but we don't have the leverage."
There are no official stats on how many trailers make it to the big screen thanks to a payment, but the practice has become increasingly common. Verites checked on about 100 trailers in 2012, compared with 30 in 2009, Neuman said.
The dispute marks the latest flare-up between film companies and exhibitors, whose symbiotic relationship has been strained in recent years. Turning trailers into a business, some fear, could add to the tension.
"What makes this business run are trailers," said Chuck Viane, a former president of distribution for Walt Disney Studios. "When the right trailers aren't seen by the public with the right movie, that can hurt the box office."
Although Regal's one-trailer-only rule is new, the free trailer system began to break down in 2001, when Sony paid to advertise its comedy "The Animal" in front of the hit Universal movie "The Mummy Returns." That aberration soon became the norm, with pay-for-play accelerating in the last two years.
As they rose in value, the total number of trailers shown before a movie started going up. Three or four was the norm a decade ago. Regal and AMC theaters now run six or seven before every feature.

Are you guys excited for Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas to make her Vampire Diaries debut tomorrow night?! The episode, titled "My Brother's Keeper" follows Caroline (Candice Accola) as does her best ...01Post a Comment
Gabby Douglas on "The Vampire Diaries" Behind the Scenes Pics!
One Response to "Gabby Douglas on "The Vampire Diaries" Behind the Scenes Pics!"
Alice Says:
I am very excited about this episode, even more so knowing that Gabby Douglas will be making her debut in it. I can't wait to see her interact with the folks of Mystic Falls in the midst of the recent drama. A coworker at DISH and I have been debating her role since it was first mentioned. Hearing that she will be in the episode featuring the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant, it seems likely that she will be one of the contestants. I am so glad that I won't miss her appearance; my DISH Hopper is already programmed to record this episode automatically. My DVR is set to record all of the episodes this season, putting the 2,000 hours of recording space to good use. I like never worrying about falling behind, especially with episodes as exciting as this one. Gabby was so great in the Olympics, I am glad that she gets a chance to shine on my favorite show. I am sure she will do great, and I hope this is the first of many appearances to come for her.

Ford Flex New Owner Reports
huskero Posts: 7Ford needs to get its act together with vent doors. After having to do the online blend door fix on my 97 Explorer (still holding), now my 2009 Flex makes a clicking noise whenever the air system is not on recirculation. I dropped the glove box door and the noise is definitely coming from the motor or actuator behind the glove box on the recirc vent. Has anyone else had this problem and can recommend a fix?
clickrs2 Posts: 3To tell you the truth we brought the Flex for all the options inside that we wanted but couldn't afford in another car. We weren't impressed with the style. But after owning it just a week we are in love with it. We even like the looks of it now. The roof rails, add to it and we are having the FLEX lettering added to the front like in the Titanium model. We just cannot believe the luxury and all the options in this car for the cost. Great value, hopefully we feel this way after a year or two. We needed the room for our extended family road trips and vacations, and now have it plus some.
gkaminsky Posts: 1I have a 2010 Flex SEL with the same problem. I called the dealer and they told me it is the actuator for the recirculating door. I am in the process of taking apart the dash/radio bezel to access the part but am struggling with the bezel removal. I have already removed the bezel over the shift lever and removed the 2 bolts from the radio bezel but can't get it to move. I am afraid to pull on it too hard for fear of breaking the bezel. Any thoughts?

From NBC:
A stray dog has been following cyclists for more than 20 days on their journey along the Sichuan-Tibet highway.
Chinese Central TV said "Little Sa" started following the cyclists after one of them fed it.
No one knows where the dog came from or how long it had been living on the highway.
The brave dog has followed the cyclists over mountains and through bad weather.
Sometimes the cyclists carry it in a little basket when they're going too fast for it to keep up.
One of the cyclists started a blog about the dog's journey, which now has around 40,000 fans.
He plans to take the dog home.

There is very little known about them. Chrysanthus was an Egyptian, son of a Patrician, Polemius. He was brought to Rome from Alexandria during the reign of Numerian, and despite the objections of his father, who had brought him to Rome, was baptized by a priest named Carpophorus. Chrysanthus refused is father's attempts to get him married, finally married Daria, a Greek and a priestess of Minerva, converted her, and convinced her to live with him in chastity. When they converted a number of Romans, Chrysanthus was denounced as a Christian to Claudius, the tribune. Chrysanthus' attitude under torture so impressed Claudius that he and his wife, Hilaria, two sons, and seventy of his soldiers became Christians, whereupon the Emperor had them all killed. Daria was sent to a brothel, where she was defended by a lion, brought before Numerian, who ordered her execution, and was stoned and then buried alive. When several followers of Daria and Chrysanthus were found praying at their crypt, among them Diodorus, a priest, and Marianus, a deacon, they were all entombed alive. Their feast day is October 25.

Guide to Promotional Paperweights

From the whimsical to the elegant, paperweights make a splash on any desk. They can also become an ever-present reminder of your business.
Paperweights have been manufactured since at least the early 1800's. Originally they were a thing of necessity. Before the days of air-conditioned offices, windows were commonly left open in the workplace during hot days. Of course, every time the wind blew, paperwork was sent flying. A visionary entrepreneur siezed the opportunity to keep paperwork intact using something more attractive than a rock. Thus, the paperweight was born.
It didn't take long for rocks to become passe. They were quickly replaced with paperweights that not only did the job, but were beautiful to look at too. Within just a few years, paperweights became collectibles. Today, the Paperweight Collectors Association boasts a membership of 1600 dedicated collectors from around the world.
It's little wonder that businesses have recognized this hobby and are cashing in on the popularity of the good old-fashioned paperweight. Promotional paperweights are both functional and artistic. Though it's unlikely that the paperweight will ever serve it's original function again, today they add class and decor to a desktop.
Paperweights as awards.
Gorgeous, stylish and elegant, promotional paperweights designed with superior materials and asthetic beauty in mind make stellar awards as well as advertising tools.
I recommend: the Luminosity Paper weight. This crystal award with its star and globe design speaks of true taste, and will show someone how much they're appreciated.
Nostalgic paperweights.
Collectors will appreciate artisan paperweights with colorful designs encased in clear glass. They are reminiscent of past ages and make delightful additions to a desktop or display case. Your logo will remind them of your generosity and appreciation of their patronage.
I recommend: the Kaleidoscopic. This egg-shaped crystal weight features a brightly-colored rainbow swirl down the center.
Ecclectic and unusually-shaped paperweights.
The Zentari
For the extraordinary client, only an extraordinary promotional gift will do. Paperweights in unusual shapes and designs make memorable impressions.
I recommend: the Zentari. It's diamond-cut surface and gem-like shape appeals to the modernist. The executive assistant or computer tech will appreciate the hand-cast Mouse Shaped Paperweight, carefully fashioned to resemble a computer mouse.

The New Albany City Council approved a zoning change on initial readings Thursday that will allow a medical office to be constructed at the intersection of Daisy Lane and Green Valley Road.
The nearly 14,000-square-foot facility would initially be occupied by one physician, though an attorney speaking on be behalf of the developer, ONC LLC, said the hope is that more doctors will practice at the office after it opens.
The request is to change the zoning of the property from urban residential to a Planned Unit Development District.
"The council had previously approved this exact plan in 2008," said New Albany Plan Commission Director Scott Wood.
But the previous proposal to construct a medical facility at the location failed to come to fruition due to the recent economic recession, Wood said.
The PUDD request was approved 7-1 by the council, and it will require a final reading that will likely be held on July 1.
Councilman John Gonder voted against the measure, and Councilman Kevin Zurschmiede was absent from the meeting.
Traffic at the intersection and drainage issues are some reasons for concern about the development, Gonder said.
But his main point of objection to the proposal was the amount of impervious asphalt that will be added for parking.
The parking lot as designed would hold 83 vehicles, and that amount falls within the city's zoning ordinance.
But Gonder — who has raised concerns about the size of parking lots for developments in the past — asked Wood how many spots he would suggest if the codes were different.
Wood said he would likely suggest between 60 and 62, if not less.
Though ONC's plan calls for drainage to be retained underground on the site, Gonder said pavement increases heat in the atmosphere.
"If we have the ability to dial that back, I think we have a responsibility to do that," he said.
But the plan was approved on second reading with the 83 parking spots included.
Other council members suggested the addition of a turning lane on Green Valley Road at the Daisy Lane intersection be included in the project and footed by the developer.
The attorney speaking on behalf of ONC said the developer would need to see a copy of the plan to determine if it's feasible.
Access to the facility would only be from Daisy Lane. Some council members said the intersection is already plagued by traffic backups at certain parts of the day and that a turning lane would be beneficial.
Wood said he would provide the council with a rough design of a turning lane on Green Valley Road in time for the July 1 meeting.
The city held a pre-bid meeting this week with contractors interested in submitting proposals for the 2013 paving campaign.
"The bids are due in Tuesday," Street Department Commissioner Mickey Thompson said. "Obviously we'll take those under advisement to see which is the best bid."
In May, the council appropriated $2 million for paving this year.
Thompson asked council members submit paving-request lists to him soon so that they could be incorporated in the resurfacing plan.
He said he'd received three lists from council members as of Thursday.
