Pontiac Bonneville Owners: Meet the Members
marcy2 Posts: 4My '99 Bonneville needed struts (not ccr) and not wanting to spend a fortune on a car with nearly 100k, I foolishly replaced it with some Monroe middle of the road struts. BIG MISTAKE!!! It rode like a truck, really stiff, and I could have cried that no one mentioned that I'd lose that cushy ride. I was ticked that it was assumed I was a dumb woman who wouldn't know the difference! I couldn't afford to replace them at that point with original equipment. I still spent over $1200 and that was without all the thingys that they fit into. If you like the ride (and believe me the newer Bonnevilles or new cars in general do NOT have the smooth ride the older ones do). If a GM garage and parts people advise ccr, I'd bite the bullet and dish out the $. I'm also assuming you haven't had to put a lot of money into this car. Keep us informed.
I replaced struts on my 98 LeSabre with Monroes that had the compensation for a softer ride in normal flexing and more control in rougher riding situations. They were called SensaTrac if I recall. I love the control they give to the car. After the first few thousand miles they softened some.
On an earlier LeSabre the tire store put on the standard struts without the SensaTrac which was new then thinking I'd never know. It was like a truck. I used to put shock absorbers on my own cars and I put on heavy duty shocks for more control. That's what it reminded me of.
I verified the struts weren't SensaTrac by crawling under the car, and by calling the Monroe company and talking to a tech.
I went right back to NTB and they found the right struts from another store to switch those out the very next day...
Many stores or companies have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee on tires and maybe on struts. Or if they did use the normal strut which is very stiff maybe they will switch out with the Sensatracs. The SensaTracs on my cars did have a softer ride in he middle of the up-down movement.
SensaTrac description
Look at your receipt to see the part number or name of the type of strut they installed? SensaTrac? #71822
Monroematic Plus? #801822
If they give a part number you can cross check it on the same site I linked above.

just got rid of a '01 ssei(supercharged sedan everything inside) incase your wondering what ssei stands for, my own... just bought a '05 GXP with only 14000 miles on it, hope you found yours, as for your 01, mine had nothing wrong with it in the 5 years i had it and sold it in 2 hours for 6grand, had 126000 miles on it. Hope you have luck with yours like I did...
bryan Posts: 217Hi cip01: I own an '04 GXP (dark gray metallic); all options except CD changer and engine block heater. Only two issues since purchased new: 1) sunroof rattle, fixed first try; and 2) intermittent a/c issue, fixed fourth try, as problem would not duplicate when I was at the dealership! Left the car for three weeks, and their top mechanic used it to commute; a/c problem surfaced, during one of his commutes; he had the scanner plugged in, and based on the code, ultimately replaced a relay switch. Flawless since.
Blast to drive, I get about 25 mpg on the highway; 17-18 around town. Rarity? Not sure how many were built in '04 and '05, but I don't see many on the road. I'm definitely smitten with the upcoming G8, but I'm not ready to give up my GXP. Hope you enjoy many many miles of driving smiles!
corinne7 Posts: 1hello, i bought my bonni new at a dealership in columbus oh in 1993. iv'e been in love with her ever since!. my ex husband on occasion would pronounce that i "love that car more than he", can't argue with that ! i coddle her. i don't drive her very far, we wash, dry and wax. take her to the "doctor" for check up's. ie: oil changes on time, service when needed, and feed her high octane fuel, we're now rearing to go.........home. . we've accumulated 97,000 miles, thats not bad considering her age is it? black magic is ....well...black..... sse, supercharged with tan leather interior, sun roof, tinted windows, pin stripping and along with my mid life crisis a few years back i had installed 12" sub woofer and a big a+@!!!ss amplifier in her trunk. we seriously rock ! ! now heres the question.... i bought her with the " gold package" i've inquired about this on other bonneville forums and i'm gonna call my main man , skip, tues to get his input. skip is the man who sold me the bonni back in 1993, he is still with the dealership and we've become friends. the bonni has gold trimmed emblems, door badges (no stickers) and gold cross laced wheels. pretty huh?? so would this be what you guys think also? and if so, does this 'gold package' deem my bonni... ummm special, rarer etc?????? thanks for being here in this cool place to share, corinne
Hi Folks...
I'm Kev, and I just inherited a friend's 1992 Bonneville SE. It's seen better days, sure, but he took pretty good care of it...mechanically, anyway. Runs like a top. most of the amenities still work, all that nice stuff. It's in decent condition outside, although the interior looks like he used it for a tree surgeon's business or something. But I'm not too worried about that.
Anyway, the biggest problem is the heater core blew up. Or did something that causes it to leak all over the passenger floor. And stink, of course. Keeping the heat off keeps the car drivable, but it naturally runs hotter than I would like it to and still burps a bit of antifreeze onto the carpet, even with the heat off.
I plan to just disconnect the core for the time being, just running the outlet from the engine for the heater back into the inlet that's supposed to come from the core. It's summer, and I won't need heat for a LITTLE while.
BUT...Does anyone know what a horrible job switching out the core is in these models? I know it's NEVER a fun job on any car- I know first hand- but perhaps there may be some helpful tips out there? Any advice would be certainly appreciated. This has the potential to still be a great car with a bit of TLC, and I'm a poor guy, so if I can keep it alive without massive investment it would be great.
Is it the coolant smell you're talking about? Is there any chance the drip is because the drain for the AC water drip is clogged?
Taking the hose connections into the heater off under the hood requires the sideways plier like tool to get at the snap wires easily. Then the rubber is usually melded to the tubes of the heater core. I suspect most people replace the whole heater hose pair when doing a repair because they damage the rubber getting them off.
I'll take disagreement about the core being terrible to get out on these cars. If it's the same as the 95-99 models, the cover comes off the end of the heater box with two screws and then break loose the caulk sealer and remove the cover which has to prongs hold it into the other end. The unit is very nicely engineered for do it yourself--if you have a medium level of expertise with cars and time and enough body flexibility you can lie on your side and back to work under there.
I'll try to get a picture for you.
Edit: I put two in my carspace picture album. http://www.carspace.com/imidazol97/Albums/imidazol97%27s%20Album
Go there and you'll see apicture of the heater box with the programmer removed off the end. Then you'll see the box with the end cover opened to show the heater core. The entire dash has been removed by the person taking the photos--you do NOT need to remove the dash. It can be done by removing the hush panel above the passenger's feet and removing the glovebox which is 7 screws along the bottom hinge.
Wow! Thanks for the help! I never expected pics and all that good stuff; very helpful. Thanks to some pretty hairy experiences in the past, I always like to know what the heck I am getting myself into. She'll really be one heck of a nice 'beater' car if we can get this ironed out.
There are other issues, too... 'Check engine' light (Big surprise there...) and airbag warning light, but let's just see if we can keep it from burning up first, right?
As far as bypassing the core for the time being, you wouldn't know of any potential dangers of doing so, do you? Except maybe in the event of a sudden ice age or something, of course.
ballstatefan05 Posts: 3Hi guys, been looking to connect with other Bonneville owners to share pics, tips and tricks..:) I have driven a Bonneville for the last 11 yrs. I had a 1998 SE I drove for 8 yrs and when I got rid of her she had 230,000 miles. I traded the 98 in for an 05 SE. I love my Bonneville. I just put custom rims on it and had the windows tinted. Lookin good!! I do have a few things I need help with though. The headlight lenses are HORRIBLE. I tried cleaning them with some toothpaste last night..no luck. Also, there is a rattle in my dash on the passenger side, when I'm sitting at stop lights or its idling in park it drives me nuts. Is there a place to post pictures?
Thanks all!
Is that Ball State as in BSU? I'm an alumnus from many years back.

Question: What is a CSO File?
Did you find a CSO file on your computer and wonder what program should open it? Maybe someone emailed you a CSO file but you're not sure how to use it. Perhaps you tried to open the CSO file but Windows told you that it could not open it.
Before you can open a CSO file (assuming it's even a file format that's intended to be viewed or edited), you'll need to determine what kind of file the .CSO file extension refers to.
Answer: A file with the CSO file extension is a CISO Compressed ISO Image file.
Other types of files may also use the CSO file extension. If you know of any additional file formats that use the .CSO extension, please let me know so I can update this information.
How To Open an CSO File
The easiest way to open a CSO file is to double-click on it and let your PC decide which default application should open the file. If no program opens the CSO file then you probably don't have an application installed that can view and/or edit CSO files.
Warning: Take great care when opening executable file formats received via email or downloaded from websites you're not familiar with. See my List of Executable File Extensions for a listing of file extensions to avoid and why.
CSO files can be opened with the free PSP ISO Compressor, as well as the also free Format Factory which, by the way, can also convert back and forth between ISO and CSO.
If you know anything else about CSO files, please let me know so I can update this page.
Tip: Use Notepad or another text editor to open the CSO file. Many files are text-only files meaning no matter the file extension, a text editor may be able to properly display the file's contents. This isn't the case with CISO Compressed CSO files, but it's worth a try if you think the CSO file you have is of a different format.
If you find that an application on your PC does try to open the CSO file but it's the wrong application or if you would rather have another installed program open CSO files, see my How To Change the Default Program for a Specific File Extension guide for making that change in Windows.
How To Convert a CSO File
There are two main ways to attempt to convert a CSO file to another file type:
- Open the CSO file in its default program and choose to save the open file as another file format.
- Use a File Conversion Online Service or Software Program to convert the CSO file to another file format.
The first option involving opening the CSO file in its native program is preferable because it's both easier and will probably result in a more accurate file conversion. Of course if you don't have a program that opens CSO files, a third-party file conversion tool (the second option) could be very useful.
Important: You cannot usually change a file extension (like the CSO file extension) to one that your computer recognizes and expect the newly renamed file to be usable. An actual file format conversion using one of the methods described above must take place in most cases.
Still Having Problems Opening or Using a CSO File?
See Get More Help for information about contacting me on social networks or via email, posting on tech support forums, and more. Let me know what kinds of problems you're having with opening or using the CSO file and I'll see what I can do to help.

I'm just gonna pull a few billies and think about it.
A couple of weeks ago I published a post referencing the difficult first year of NBA recruit Royce White.
White, 21, was picked 16th in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets and spent December and January working through a contract dispute with the team centred on management acknowledging and catering to an anxiety disorder that makes it difficult for him to fly or even drive.
While this was going on, White was lacerated by sections of the American sports media and abused on social networking sites by basketball fans, often for being a "fag" because, apparently, if you care about your mental health, you must also like sleeping with other men.
In late January, writer Chuck Klosterman published a pretty astounding interview, where White made some rather interesting observations about mental health.
It was astounding because White is so young, his position so radical, the career stakes for him so high and because pretty much every sportsman asked about anything other than their swing, running style or jump shot ends up sounding like a moron and White did not.
Writes Klosterman of his interview: "I mention a statistic: According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 26 per cent of Americans over the age of 18 suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in any given year. I ask White if he thinks that stat carries over into the NBA".
Klosterman: Do you believe 26 percent of the league is dealing with a mental illness, or does mental illness prompt those dealing with it to self-select themselves out of the pool? Are you the rare exception who got drafted?
White: The amount of NBA players with mental health disorders is way over 26 percent. My suggestion would be to ask David Stern [the NBA Commissioner] how many players in the league he thinks have a marijuana problem. Whatever number he gives you, that's the number with mental illness. A chemical imbalance is a mental illness.
Klosterman: So, wait ... if somebody has a drinking problem, is that -
White: That's a mental illness. A gambling addiction is a mental illness. Addiction is a mental illness.
Klosterman: Well, then what's the lowest level of mental illness? What is the least problematic behavior that still suggests a mental illness?
White: The reality is that you can't black-and-white it, no matter how much you want to. You have to be OK with it being gray. There is no end or beginning. It's more individualistic. If someone tears a ligament, there is a grade for its severity. But there's no grade with mental illness. It all has to do with the person and their environment and how they are affected by that environment.
Klosterman: OK, I get that. But you classify a gambling addiction as a mental illness. Gambling is incredibly common among hypercompetitive people. The NBA is filled with hypercompetitive people. So wouldn't this mean that -
White: Here's an even tougher thing that we're just starting to uncover: How many people don't have a mental illness? But that's what we don't want to talk about.
Klosterman: Why wouldn't we want to talk about that?
White: Because that would mean the majority is mentally ill, and that we should base all our policies around the idea of supporting the mentally ill. Because they're the majority of people. But if we keep thinking of them as a minority, we can say, 'You stay over there and deal with your problems over there.'
Klosterman: OK, just so I get this right: You're arguing that most Americans have a mental illness.
White: Exactly. That's definitely correct.
Klosterman: But - if that's true - wouldn't that mean "mental illness" is just a normative condition? That it's just how people are?
White: That doesn't make it normal. This is based on science. If there was a flu epidemic, and 60 percent of the country had the flu, it wouldn't make it normal ... the problem is growing, and it's growing because there's a subtle war - in America, and in the world - between business and health. It's no secret that two per cent of the human population controls all the wealth and the resources, and the other 98 per cent struggle their whole life to try and attain it. Right? And what ends up happening is that the two per cent leave the 98 per cent to struggle and struggle and struggle, and they eventually build up these stresses and conditions.
Klosterman: So ... this is about late capitalism?
White: Definitely. Definitely.
OK, so White definitely lays it out there, and while he might be reading a bit too much Marxist theory, his contention there is no grading for mental illness is penetrating.
We have levels of virulence and seriousness for an almost endless variety of different physical injuries and medical conditions but being mentally ill is largely treated like pregnancy - you are or you aren't.
Sure, people are diagnosed with "minor depression" or "slight anxiety" but I think we hesitate to call these people "mentally ill" for fear of stigmatising them, which in turn can trivialise what they're experiencing.
What's even more interesting is how we define "normal" or "mentally healthy".
I guess you'd say it's someone who has good relations with their friends and family, is content with their work life, has acceptable levels of physical fitness, enjoys regular, respectful sexual relations and views the world around them optimistically.
But then what if they also drink a bit too much? Or pull bongs before their shift? Or gamble? Or snort sleeping pills? Or wank like a monkey on ice?
Where does this sort of behavior move from "normal" to "aberrant" to "mentally ill?" And does one of these behaviours cancel out all the "normal", "well-adjusted" stuff a person does?
White's contention about the stresses of modern life is also fascinating. I don't think there's many people who spend hours in traffic or on public transport and stare at a computer screen all day and eat weird fast food while watching their plasma or texting on their mobile phone who have not reflected on how "unnatural" modern life has become.
It also makes you wonder when and if humans were ever "normal"? Consider the stresses previous generations have experienced, from slavery to genocide, constant armed conflict, socially condoned peadophilia and rape, starvation, crushing poverty, exploitation, beatings, human and animal sacrifice ... the list goes on.
Says White: "Stress is one of the number-one killers of human beings. Stress hardens your arteries. And that's scary for a lot of humans, so they don't want to talk about it. It's like - what is the pollution in the air really doing to us? We'd rather just tiptoe around that idea and argue that it's the food that's killing us. But the reality is that stress is a killer of humans, and if we don't support mental health in the right way, the nature of the illness causes people to become overly stressed. And that's serious."
White's big picture plan is to use his visibility as an NBA player to start this conversation and it's paradigm-shifting in so many ways, he admits what many supporters deem courageous advocacy, others see as "insufferable" arrogance.
"At the end of the day, we all stand on one side of a line, and it's always going to be opposed by somebody else," says White.
"I don't like to compare myself to other great people. But I'm sure Gandhi was insufferable to some people. Martin Luther King was insufferable. JFK was certainly insufferable. Galileo was insufferable. It's always tough to tolerate people who say the things that other people don't want to say."
What do you think constitutes mental illness? Is Royce White a visionary or an alarmist?

A Ceremony That Reflects You
Celebrants not only perform ceremonies--they help couples create distinctly personal weddings.
BY: Wendy Schuman
"The beliefs of the celebrant don't matter, it's the beliefs of the couple that are primary," says Charlotte Eulette, executive director of Celebrants USA Foundation, based in Montclair, New Jersey. "The couple choose the words, the music, the style, and the venue. Their values and ideals are expressed in the ceremony." The celebrant acts as resource, advisor, and facilitator, orchestrating the ceremony but keeping the focus on the bride and groom. Celebrants are particularly well-suited to couples who are unaffiliated with a house of worship, who may be interfaith or secular, but still want a meaningful service that reflects their values.
"We interview the couple and give them a questionnaire to fill out, asking such things as what are you bringing to this partnership, what brings you joy, what does it mean for you to have your friends and family here today-then we write their story," says Eulette. "When we reflect this back during the ceremony, there isn't a dry eye in the house." Couples are not used to so much freedom, she observes. "So many times people ask, Can we do this? We say you can do whatever you want-but we give them a framework."
"If we had gone to a judge, rabbi, or a priest, I don't think they would have gotten as involved as Remy, our celebrant, and Charlotte in putting the whole the whole script together," says Patrick Burns.

By BOB GRADY
Somewhere this fall, probably in Palm Beach, Fla., the inventor of aluminum bleachers is lounging poolside, a gin and tonic in one hand and a fistful of large bills in the other, getting a hearty laugh over the good one he put over on everybody above the 42nd Parallel. It is roughly along that divide that chilly autumns get vengeful, turning aluminum bleachers into icy instruments of torture.
There's a forumula North Country school children learn early: The enjoyment of a soccer game is directly proportional to the wind chill.
If you like to sit, the aluminum bleacher is the worst invention since the whoopee cushion. While the whoopee cushion speaks for itself, the aluminum bleacher stands as a silent menace to anyone in the North Country who dares to take a seat after Labor Day.
Soccer games, typically starting in late afternoon, linger cruelly into early night, when the bleachers can inflict their most vicious assaults. As my friend Tim Carter put it, "They suck the warmth right out of you."
Clearly, metal bleachers were a colossal mistake. They were invented, then manufactured, then sold, before anybody had a chance to actually sit on them. Sales were all consummated in the months of May and June. Then the sales people went South and threw their cell phones into the ocean.
Summer on the metal bleachers may also have its liabilities. Unless you've ever tried sitting on them in shorts on a sunny, 90-degree day, it's hard to know whether you'd wind up sitting on salve that night.
Apples like warm days and cool nights, but even apples wouldn't go to an October soccer game by choice. Why the kids can't play during lunch break has been the subject of many sideline discussions over the years.
And there is almost no chance one of these sets of bleachers will wear out in the next three generations and have to be replaced by a more accommodating appliance. In short, we're stuck with them well into the next century. The grass on the field can die, the artificial turf can shrivel up and rip at the seams, the concession stand can burn to the ground, but the metal bleachers are here for the duration, mocking athletic directors and school boards forever.
Several of us fathers of players in Plattsburgh usually stand, teeth chattering, so a line of five guys standing there sounds like the percussion section in a Cuban dance number. But we are downright cozy compared with our wives, who insist on contending with the aluminum bleachers. "Soccer moms" means something, but to soccer moms up here, it means survival.
All the women have several layers of clothing and are balanced on and under piles of blankets. Still, these accouterments are no match for the aluminum on a breezy, 30-degree evening. By the end of the game, trained members of the custodial staff will ascend the steps with special shovels to pry the rigid spectators from their seats.
Those experienced bleacherites typically walked into the grounds grim-faced, as they surveyed the aluminum bleachers, much as they would view the dentist's chair when they had a toothache. The difference was the lucky sore-jawed patients had some hope that the dentist could finish the job in a tolerable amount of time. That game, on the other hand, was going to go on for a minimum of 80 minutes, with another 10 for a halftime talk (when the players would have the luxury of sitting on the ground as opposed to the benumbing metal), and the most dreaded contrivance man has yet devised: overtime.
Overtime itself is a minimum of 20 agonizing minutes, followed, in some cases, by "sudden death" -- so called because of the potential effect on spectators.
One chilly afternoon recently, a group of Plattsburgh parents braced themselves against the wind as they trudged stoically, like prisoners of war, into the Ticonderoga athletic complex to watch their daughters play soccer. Their mood, as always, was apprehensive: Would their girls play up to their ability? Would they outscore their opponents, avoid injury and conduct themselves with sportsmanship? In short, would they make us proud to be their parents, and would we act appropriately and not be tempted to yell insults? These are all grave responsibilities for everyone involved.
Upon entering the field, the group glanced up and their visages suddenly brightened. Through their watery eyes, they espied an oasis in the desert, and smiles actually creased their chapped lips. They stopped, as one, rubbed the tears off their cheeks, knelt down and involuntarily muttered something indiscernible, possibly a prayer.
There, in the distance, stood something they hadn't seen in some time and promised a respite from their misery: wooden bleachers.

I love your 'ideas' but hope you won't be too offended when I improve them... tee hee hee;-) Hey... it's just the way I cook... a recipe is more of a suggestion than anything. You do have a wonderful site though! I wish I were in Portland! I'd invite you and the lady over to share my favorite ale, Delirium Noel, and we'd whip up something devilish in the kitchen while our friends and fam sat wondering how they got so lucky in the other room.

Maude McDaniel, Columnist
Cumberland Times-News
There are first awful moments — and then there are first awful moments. I suppose some would define a first awful moment as the one in which they had just stepped outside the door and then realized they hadn't put on their makeup. (That would probably have to be a woman, in most cases.) Another similar awful moment is stepping outside the door, and realizing you accidentally locked it — and don't have the key.
There are a lot of first awful moments in life, and it's hard to gauge the relative awfulness, especially when the moment is progressive.. Like the time I chomped down on a piece of bone FAM! while eating a hamburger, and, only after fishing it out, realized it was not a bone at all, but a piece of tooth. SAM! Luckily (or not), after further investigation, it turned out to be MY tooth TAM! — and even more luckily, I had not yet complained to the hamburger joint manager. But still, it WAS my tooth. Which makes it a first awful moment , multiplied at least three times.
Just to reassure you, I will not be dealing with the worst fams, but with minor fams that still give you a thrill. The kind of minor first awful moment that happens when you suddenly realize that you have just turned onto Oldtown Road while they were repairing it, or laying lines underneath, or whatever, that rendered it impossible to drive on further to reach your destination. FAM! You managed this by ignoring those boring signs that may have mentioned it earlier on. And you are at this very awful moment driving wrong way on the single lane roadway that has been prepared for (and is now carrying) traffic coming — the other way.
Another first awful moment that happens to me sometimes is at the computer when, with no such intention, I realize FAM! I just clicked on "Send" instead of "Save." Or worse yet, when I have just completed an entire column for the paper and then accidentally flip some key (I have still not figured out which key this is) which sends the whole article into computer purgatory, never again to be seen by the human eye — or at least mine.
Now, I know, there is some key somewhere that will, if you are very careful and don't touch any key before that one, restore to you your lost masterpiece — but sometimes I don't seem to be able to locate it. Or, if I do, it doesn't do the job, this time around. At best, it might restore the article I lost last week, though that's no sure bet either.
A very subtle first awful moment was the time recently I realized , not so much that I was old — but that I pretty much started turning the corner into middle age — 50 years ago! To realize one is almost 50 years PAST middle age — FAM!
Then there is that first awful moment when you realize that you have just pressed your medic alert button while playing with the dog. Yes, I have one of those buttons, thanks to my daughter who virtually forced me into a corner and twisted my arm to make me do it. (Although, I must say when she succeeded I was, well, a little, relieved, but don't tell her that.)
Rusty and I were playing tug-of-war with his favorite toy, and we had a good one going (which I was winning, if I say so myself), when suddenly I heard this disembodied voice in the next room, intoning, "Emergency, emergency, emergency." "What emergency?" I thought to myself, "I'm winning!" when I suddenly realized that somehow we had activated the alarm. Well, I got it all straightened out with the attendant, and we laughed together (at my stupidity) — and several days later it happened all over again. FAM! and FAM!
Another first awful moment has been known to occur to me when I took an anti-diarrheal pill and then realized it was a generic-type Ex-Lax pill instead. Oh, FAM!, FAM!, FAM!
And can you imagine the first awful moment when you realize that you just baked your hearing aid in the dinner pizza. FAM! (Not me, but I heard about it from my hearing-aid man.)
Other first awful moments for me personally, include the moment (several times a year) when I realize I turned on the dryer, while the air conditioning was running. My house can't handle both at the same time. And I 'm no good with breakers. Oh, FAM it!
There is nothing that matches such first awful moments, for their sheer horror, shock, and cold sweat down the back. (Except maybe the second awful moment.)
And finally there is that first awful moment when you realize that, Maude, there have been one heck of a lot of first awful moments lately — could it have anything to do with your age?

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- Abandoned shopping carts are an eyesore in Federal Way and could potentially cost businesses thousands each month.
To combat the problem, the Federal Way Police Department started the "Federal Way Shopping Recovery Team," which is run by volunteers.
Using an old police cruiser with a trailer attached, Frank Gabreluk and John McLaren roam the city up to six hours a day, two days a week.
"Our primary goal is to get the abandoned carts that are in obvious view to the city residents," said Gabreluk.
According to the police department, volunteers collect up to 500 carts a month.
"It's amazing where we find some of these. Weyerhaeuser's corporate pond, we found them at the transit center, parking stalls where they literally take up two spaces full of them," said McLaren.
"Most of the carts we collect are closer to apartment complexes. Individuals that don't use public transportation and don't have the means to get to and from stores, so they will use the carts to take their supplies," said Gabreluk.
The volunteers estimate the average cost of a cart at $130, totaling $780,000 in prevented losses a year to businesses.
Volunteers recovered 78 carts for H-Mart, a local Asian grocery store, in June.
"If they knew how much we paid for each cart, they would think about it. Right now they just take and don't care about it," said Roland Aguirre, a manager in training.
According to Federal Way Police, volunteers brought back 768 carts in two years. The effort not only spares replacement costs, but also resources for the store.
"It's important for us because we have to pay someone to do that. One of the guys has to go around which means spending money on gas, we pay the people per hour," said Aguirre.
The goal of the program is to enhance the perception and quality of life in the city. Gabreluk and McLaren, who have lived in the Federal Way for decades, say it's their way to give back.
"It's my home, I want to keep it nice," said McLaren.
McLaren and Gabreluk, who are approaching their third year as volunteers, have adopted a saying.
"In Federal Way you can roll, but you'd better be careful - you can't hide from John and Frank," said Gabreluk.
The program is completely paid for by the police department, which admits is a band-aid for a problem that's not going away.
Many retailers have installed sensors that lock shopping cart wheels if they're taken off property, but Gabreluk and McLaren say it doesn't always work.

South-West meats given EU protection (From This is The West Country)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting COUNTY GAZETTE to 80360 or email us
South-West meats given EU protection
8:00pm Friday 17th January 2014 in News
SIR Graham Watson, the South-West's MEP, has welcomed a status protecting beef and lamb reared within Somerset and the rest of the region.
The meats have been awarded EU Protected Geographic Indication (PGI) status and join a list of products such as Cornish clotted cream, Dorset blue cheese, West County farmhouse cheddar and Gloucestershire cider.
Graham said: "Such status gives consumers peace of mind, knowing that what they are eating or drinking is the genuine article and is good quality.
"PGI status also ensures that the product cannot be replicated elsewhere in Europe, leading to a watering down of its provenance and quality."

Twins Depth/Personnel Chart for 2013
by, 09-02-2012 at 04:15 PM (1350 Views)
Here is what I am seeing for the Twins depth chart with the personnel they have now. I will do another one of these after the offseason ends to compare. These rankings are part stats from this year, part me wanting some of the people on this list to succeed. Also, with the pitching rotation, this is not how the Twins (at least, I hope it isn't) will organize their rotation, it is just the people I think should be in their rotation
Should be some fairly obvious ones and maybe a few surprises in here.
1. Perkins
2. Burton
3. Slama
4. Duensing
5. Swarzak
6. Waldrop
7. Alex Burnett/Fien
Starting Rotation-Also, these are just guys the Twins have right now. I am not going to give a spot to someone they have not acquired yet.
1. Diamond
2. Baker
3. DeVries
4. Deduno
5. Walters/Vasquez (both of these guys need to show more)
Infielders-this includes catchers; Before Nishi on this list is Will Smith, Jon Stewart, and Steven Colbert
1. Mauer
2. Doumit
3. Carroll
4. Florimon
5. Parmelee
6. Plouffe
7. Butera
8. Morneau
1. Willingham
2. Span
3. Revere
4. Mastroianni
5. Carson
6. Arcia
Any player you don't see on this list I either forgot, or was thinking the Twins will release this offseason, or will not be a factor for most of next year.

Should overweight people be charged more for airline tickets?
HOUSTON – Should overweight people be charged more for airline tickets?
Dr. Bharat P. Bhatta, an associate professor of economics at Sogn og Fjordane University College in Norway, is recommending that tickets are prices according to a passenger's weight, CNN.com reports.
Bhatta says a reduction in the weight of a plane can save airlines $3,000 a year and reduce CO2 emissions.
"Charging according to weight and space is a universally accepted principle, not only in transportation, but also in other services," Bhatta told CNN. "As weight and space are far more important in aviation than other modes of transport, airlines should take this into account when pricing their tickets."
He proposed three "pay as you weigh" models. Click here to read more about it.

Fair swap?
Again in Concord, a Lexington Road resident reported her snow shovel was missing from her front porch. The caller said when she followed the footprints in her yard, she found an iPod that may belong to the person who took her shovel: http://patch.com/A-0PBB
Woman leaves car 'somewhere' in Woburn
On New Year's Eve, a Burlington woman reported her car stolen. According to Woburn police, the woman parked her car outside a restaurant "somewhere in Woburn Center" and left the keys inside. The woman was unable to tell police which restaurant. Police could not find the vehicle and entered it into the computer system as stolen: http://patch.com/A-0KHW
And before we leave Woburn: woman Uses EBT for bar drinks, cab; reports subsequent stalking
A Woburn woman reported receiving harassing phone calls. According to Woburn police, she told the officer she used her EBT card to pay for drinks at a bar and a cab ride from Malden. Since the purchase, she said she has been receiving unsolicited phone calls from the cab driver.

The 41th Annual Western Illinois University Jazz Festival will be held Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 12, 14-15, 2014. On Wednesday evening, there will be a jam session at Cafe' Aroma beginning at 7:00 pm.
Friday's main event will be concerts by the WIU Jazz Band and Jazz Studio Orchestra featuring Dave Stryker, Guitar virtuoso and composer.
Dave Stryker grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and moved to New York City in 1980. After establishing himself in the local music scene, he joined organist Jack McDuff's group for two years 1984-85. When McDuff wasn't on the road (literally traveling by van all over the country) they worked a steady four-night a week gig at Dude's Lounge in Harlem. His first break, this turned out to be an invaluable experience, paying his dues night after night with the soulful jazz organist. It was at Dude's Lounge that Stryker met tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, who would occasionally sit in. After leaving McDuff, Turrentine asked Stryker to join his quintet. From 1986-1995 he played with the legendary saxophonist at all the major festivals, concert halls, and clubs throughout the world. He is featured on two Turrentine CD's (Stanley recorded Stryker's tune "Sidesteppin"). With Turrentine, Stryker was able to play with such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie and Freddie Hubbard. The ten years playing alongside the tenor legend helped Stryker realize the importance of having his own sound. Dave continued to work with Stanley and was with him during his final week at the Blue Note in NYC, when he passed in Sept. 2000.
Public $15; Senior Citizen $10; Youth $7; WIU Student FREE with valid University ID. Tickets available at the Hainline Box Office and at the event.
And, on Saturday, we expect our lineup for middle/junior high and senior high school jazz bands to be outstanding, as usual. Our guest artist/clinician will again perform with JSO on Saturday afternoon.

Buzz always brings the vibes. Here he is on Death In The Arena, aka Whipping The Prince (Coxsone's throw-down to Buster). 'Peace, love and unity is the foundation of our community.'
Fantastic, fountain-head deejaying loaded with upful verbal brilliance (and signature cocks crowing, shrill yeah-yeah-yeahs) over the best vocal performances of the greatest Studio One rhythms then available.
Drawing on the 1960s, from the Alley Cats through The Skatalites to the Soul Vendors, this top-notch retrospective came soon after the great man's death in 1998, and it's a worthy tribute, full of love.
Ska beast from the lake of fire with its garments dipped in blood. Plus From Russia With Love on the flip, for crying out loud. Japanese imports, with gorgeous silk-screened labels. Total destruction.
Two all-time ska masterpieces: back-to-back fire.
Tremendous, previously-unreleased takes of ska instrumentals by the Soul Brothers.
Rolando Al luxuriating in jazz; a Tommy McCook cha cha cha.
A Skatalites charger and a jolt of vintage Ethiopian ska rumpus, courtesy of Dub Store in Tokyo.
Gorgeous Jamaicanization of The Miracles' Choosey Beggar, just as fluently doowop.
Masterpiece. Top-drawer songwriting — thoughtful, soulful lyrics and ace tunes — and definitive performances.
Up and down stuff, but worth it for Mr. Bassie, Fever and especially the stricken funky blues of New Broom. Oh Lord, Why Lord is a cover of Parliament, believe it or not.
Super-tough, dubwise clavinet-version of Spear's Swell Headed.
Ace socialist roots from Scully and Mr Soul on the flip, too.
Great ska, rocksteady and reggae — with backing from The Skatalites, the Soul Brothers, Soul Vendors, Sound Dimension, and The Wailers, and Garnett Mimms, Fats Domino, Manfred Mann, the Wicked Pickett in the mix.
Coxsone Dodd's is still the best compilation of Ken Boothe at Brentford Road.
'Fighting your brothers every day doesn't make no sense at all. You walk down the road, you see an innocent man, you rob and stab and shoot him down. When you think it's peace and safety, it's sudden destruction.'

This morning I had the opportunity to view some footage from the upcoming Australian survival thriller Sanctum, produced by James Cameron and due out in theaters next month in 3D (I'll post my reaction to this footage soon). Cameron of course is a fellow who knows a thing or two about the format, as well as all kinds of genre filmmaking. So today, after Cameron, along with Sanctum's director Alister Grierson, spoke with me and a group of other journalists about the film, I made sure to chat with him about his plans for another epic, one that's especially near and dear to our hearts – At the Mountains of Madness, the long-awaited adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's classic horror novella. Cameron will produce Mountains, while Guillermo Del Toro, for whom the film is a dream long in the making, handles the directing chores. After the jump, find out what Cameron had to say about the status of what should be the most faithful, fully satisfying Lovecraft film ever made.
What is it about At the Mountains of Madness that you find so fascinating? That's made you want to champion the film adaptation?
One word, one man – Guillermo. We've been friends for twenty years. We've been trying to work together, really, for that entire time. And it has never quite congealed. We're both Lovecraft fans. Me from my college days, when I discovered Lovecraft. I think I read everything he wrote in about a month. I powered through it. And if anybody can bring Lovecraft to the screen it's gonna be Del Toro.
He's got a real vision for the film. It's very, very well-developed in his mind. You know, I'm just there to facilitate his vision. I don't have any strong sense of authorship; zero sense of authorship. I'm just there to try to get it made and help him do the movie that's in his head.
So it's still going to happen, but it's just a question of when?
Oh we're very, very actively pre-producing the film right now with Universal. The design work is phenomenal, both the three-dimensional and two-dimensional design work, the physical maquettes, the CG test scenes; the artwork is phenomenal. The fans certainly won't want for a visual feast with this film. But there's [still] a bunch of number-crunching and "How you gonna do it?" and "How you gonna make it?"; "Where you gonna do it?" All that stuff.
It sounds like a dream pairing. We're looking forward to it. Thank you very much.
A pleasure.

Expanding the role of community mobilization to accelerate progress towards ending vertical transmission of HIV in Uganda: the Networks model - Gitau Mburu, Kate Iorpenda, Fred Muwanga
Introduction: Efforts to prevent vertical transmission of HIV have gained momentum globally since the launch of the ''Global plan towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive'', reflecting the growing consensus that we now have low-cost, efficacious interventions that promise to end vertical transmission of HIV. Uganda is one of the 22 focus countries in the global plan and one of the 10 countries with the highest need for prevention of vertical transmission globally. In the context of current shortfalls in the prevention of vertical HIV transmission, this paper presents the results of the Networks project, a community mobilisation model implemented by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance in Uganda, and draws out the theoretical foundations and promising community mobilization practices relevant to prevention of vertical transmission.
Methods: A retrospective review of the Network project's activities, documentation and evaluation was performed.
Results: The Networks project, through community mobilisation and greater involvement of people living with HIV, reached an estimated 1.3 million people with at least one health service. By clustering 750 groups of people living with HIV into larger coalitions, the project supported existing groups to amalgamate their collective strengths and skills in outreach, referral and literacy activities; and improved reach and coverage of HIV services through strengthened linkages with healthcare facilities. Our analysis of the Networks model shows that it could contribute to the prevention of vertical transmission of HIV as a replicable and sustainable community mobilisation approach. In particular, the Networks model increased the uptake of decentralized interventions for preventing vertical transmission through community referrals; promoted male involvement through peer sensitisation; and linked communities to advocacy channels for advancing maternal health and prevention of vertical HIV transmission.
Conclusions: By placing persons living with HIV at the centre, the Networks model offers a mechanism for strengthening community and male involvement in preventing vertical transmission of HIV. The role of communities and networks of people living with HIV in planning, service delivery and monitoring of national targets for prevention of vertical transmission should be further strengthened through greater community engagement in service delivery and advocacy and through the regular sharing of data between communities and health facilities.

The world's weirdest theme parks
Who needs Disney when there are parks devoted to border-crossing
Parque EcoAlberto, El Alberto, Mexico
Theme parks are going to the dark side. Parque EcoAlberto , in central Mexico, offers visitors an experience they may never forget — and one that they are implored not to repeat in real life: a simulated illegal U.S.-Mexico border crossing. For entry fees of around $20, visitors have the pleasure of being blindfolded and surrounded by the sound of dogs and sirens. And instead of park employees dressed as Mickey Mouse and Snow White? They get angry border patrol guards and violent drug smugglers. Fake ones, of course. The "Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage" at Disneyland, it ain't. On a happier note, regular hiking and zip lines across ravines are also available.

VALPARAISO (1-3, 0-0 PFL North) at AUSTIN PEAY (1-3, 0-0 PFL South)
WHEN: Saturday, October 1, 2005, 1 p.m. CDT.
WHERE: Governors Stadium (10,000), Clarksville, Tenn.
RADIO: Valpo Sports Radio Network (WVUR, 95.1-FM, Valparaiso; WAKE, 1500-AM, Valparaiso; Relevant Radio 1270-AM, Gary; and WE-FM, 95.9-FM, Michigan City). Also available on the web at www.valpo.edu/athletics. Todd Ickow will handle the play-by-play with Brent Whitlock providing the color commentary.
TV: None.
THE COACHES: Valparaiso is led by Stacy Adams, who is in his 1st season as the Crusader head coach. He is 1-3 overall and at Valpo. Austin Peay is led by Carroll McCray, who is 7-19 in his 3rd season overall and with the Governors.
SERIES RECORD: Valparaiso leads the all-time series with the Governors 5-2. Valpo is 2-1 all-time in Clarksville.
LAST MEETING: Valparaiso scored ten points in the third quarter to break a 14-14 halftime tie on the way to defeating the Governors 24-14 on September 11, 2004 at Brown Field. Joe Milazzo was 14-of-24 passing for 214 yards and rushed for 77 more in the win for Valpo. Chris Fletcher rushed for 100 yards for Austin Peay.
After playing back-to-back games at Brown Field, Valparaiso takes to the road on Saturday afternoon to face Austin Peay. The Crusaders are looking to end a three-game losing skid after dropping last week's game against Davidson 48-17.
DIALING LONG DISTANCE: Valparaiso had not had a pass completed for more than 25 yards during the first three games of the season. Last week against Davidson, the Crusaders connected twice for big gains. Ryan Doerffler tossed a 59-yard touchdown strike to Joe Blahowicz early in the fourth quarter and also had a 47-yard completion to Dustin Shamburg in the second quarter that led to a Valpo field goal.
BLAHOWITZ CONTINUES TO SHINE: Joe Blahowitz had another solid outing for the Brown and Gold last week. The senior caught four passes for a team-high 88 yards and a touchdown while also punting six times for a 45.7 yard average. He had three punts of more than 50 yards, including a long of 54 and landed two kicks inside of the 20.
HOWARD MASTERS TACKLES FOR LOSS: Doug Howard has already recorded 5 1/2 tackles for loss in just four games for the Crusaders this season. He has 3 1/2 sacks, has broken up a pass, forced a fumble, and recovered a fumble, proving to be a force on the defensive line.
THIRD DOWN CONVERSIONS TOUGH TO COME BY: The Crusaders have struggled converting third downs this season, keeping drives alive just 9-of-47 (19.1%) times through four games.
McCAWLEY NEARLY PERFECT THIS SEASON: Andrew McCawley has made nearly every kick he has attempted thus far this season. The redshirt-junior is a perfect 5-of-5 on extra points and is 4-of-5 on field goal attempts, including a long of 46 yards at South Dakota State.
ONE LAST MEETING: Valpo and Austin Peay are meeting for the final time as members of the PFL. The Governors are leaving the conference for the Ohio Valley next season.
9/3 - Jeff Horton
9/10 - Joe Blahowicz
9/17 - Ryan Palonka
9/24 - Steve Ogden
9/3 - Mike Jones
9/10 - Brandon Sturman
9/17 - Brandon Sturman
9/24 - Andrew Akinpelu
Special Teams:

Stillwater NewsPress
COYLE, Okla. —
Editor's note: It was a wild 2013 in Oklahoma State, Stillwater and area sports. So wild and exciting that even some of the biggest moments fell to the chopping room floor when voted on by the members of The Stillwater NewsPress. In the days leading up to the New Year, the NewsPress sports department will count down the top 10 stories of 2013 and while many will be of no surprise, there are some such as Nataljia Piliuisina rallying to win the 1,500-meter NCAA national championship — the second women's individual outdoor NCAA title in school history — or the Cowboy baseball program returning to the postseason under first-year coach Josh Holliday that didn't even make the cut.
The 2012-2013 season ended being historic for the Coyle Bluejackets boys basketball team as they finished as the second-best team in Class B with a 25-5 record.
The Bluejackets went 7-3 in the first half of the season, winning five of their last seven games before Christmas break. Coyle's season picked up momentum after the break as they went 13-1 to close out the regular season.
Adding to the history of last season was the Bluejackets playing their last season in their old gymnasium, which was built in 1939, making it one of the oldest in Oklahoma. Coyle closed out the gym with a victory over Mulhall-Orlando.
Coach Josh Sumrall reached a milestone as he picked up his 200th win at Coyle in a 75-53 victory over Oklahoma Christian School JV during the County Line Tournament. Last season was Sumrall's 11th at Coyle.
Coyle advanced in the district championship with a 79-21 victory over Claremore Christian. In regionals, the Bluejackets defeated Cave Springs and Asher, each by more than 30 points, to advance to the area championship. The Bluejackets didn't have any problems winning in the area championship as they trounced Burlington 75-36.
"The entire playoffs we've been clicking on all cylinders," Sumrall said. "We've got a lot of weapons to choose from. Hopefully, we can continue to play at a high level.
The Bluejackets drew the defending Class B state champion Forgan in the state quarterfinals on Feb. 28. Forgan took a 13-12 lead after the first quarter but Coyle outscored Forgan 16-9 to take a 28-22 halftime lead. The Bluejackets never surrendered the lead as they outscored the defending champions 37-35 to pull out a 65-57 victory. Eric Harris led the team in scoring with 21 points and Tony Aska scored 20 points while knocking down several key free throws to seal the win.
"That was a real big win for us," Sumrall said. "They were a solid team who were only beat twice. ... It was a tough draw but our kids responded well in that atmosphere and our big players really stepped up."
Coyle got off to a shaky start in the state semifinals against Red Oak on March 1, trailing 20-7 in the first quarter and 23-15 at the end of the quarter. Harris came off the bench and changed the course of the game. He scored 11 points in the second quarter to help the Bluejackets cut the deficit to two at halftime.
In the second half, Harris made a couple key baskets to help Coyle take a 50-44 lead, which it would take to a 69-62 victory and advance to the championship.
"I don't mind being a bench player," Harris said. "I told coach I will be his spark off the bench. That's what I've been doing all season, giving the team a lift."
Coyle jumped out to an early lead in the state championship game against Arnett on March 2. The Bluejackets pulled out to a 27-6 lead in the second quarter to hold a 37-23 halftime lead. Unfortunately that's when things changed. Arnett's Tyler Tune took over the game and scored 31 points in the second half and led Arnett to a 71-60 victory. Sumrall said the loss was tough but added his team accomplished a lot.
"It hurts because we put a lot of work into it," Sumrall said. "I'm proud for their effort this year."
Two of Coyle's seniors went on to play college basketball as Harris signed with Langston University and Aska signed with Redlands Community College.

Editorial writer and columnist James E. Causey offers his perspectives on a variety of issues on urban affairs, crime, city hall, education and sports.
Blacks kill more blacks than the KKK ever did
Documentary filmmaker Sixx King is black and he's tired of black-on-black violence so he wanted to do something proactive to make a statement.So he put on a KKK outfit with a white hood and stood in public in Philadelphia to draw attention to an issue that the black community has not been able to solve - black men killing black men at record numbers.
This is not just a Philadelphia problem, this is a problem in most large urban populations. Last year, Chicago reported more than 500 homicides, and most involved black men killed by black men.In Milwaukee County, of the 101 homicide victims in 2012, 71 were black males, according to the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office.King, 35, is tired and I am, too. While wearing the costume, he had a sign saying that black violence kills more blacks than the Klan ever has. Sixx said in 2011 more than 7,000 black people were killed; he said the KKK killed 3,446 blacks in 86 years.Black-on-black murders surpass the number of people killed by the KKK every six months.I know a number of blacks and some whites who will find what King did offensive. I understand that, but ask yourself this question: What do you see black politicians doing about the issue? I mostly hear crickets.
Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton said last year that he was appalled by the silence and lack of outrage after several MPS students were killed.King is bringing awareness to the black hypocrisy of being complacent when we know we have a problem and we are doing little to address it. We can talk about jobs all we want, and yes, high unemployment is a problem. But blacks have been poor for a long time and we didn't kill each other at the rate that we are doing now.This is not a gun problem; this is a societal problem that needs to be addressed, and our black leaders, churches, families, youth and schools should be demanding change.

I agree James, you hit it right on the head!
I commend him for trying, but I hold little hope that it will change the apathy in the black community towards the killing. We still have too many babies dying because their drunken mothers roll over and kill them...
Well Stated
Well said James
Provoking political art. A black man dressed up as the KKK really delivers the message. Kudos to this artist.
A complex issue with no easy answer. I do appreciate his attempt to shock the community to look inside since blaming someone else will get you nowhere.
Who are the black leaders in the the country right now. I can't think of any credible real leaders just the usual suspects out for themselves taking the check and walking back into the shadows til the next candlelight march. You'd think by now a new group of modern leaders fed up with the status quo would be coming to the forefront.
Black people better get it together before they find themselves at the bottom rung when the latinos step over them on the road to success. Jesse and Al are as timely as an 8 track player.
Yawn. Look at all the outrage. Eleven comments Yawn. About as much outrage as the people of chicago have for each nights slaughter.Hide replies
Now if a puppy got killed.............
I guess the answer is to have more white on black killings since that is the only time the black community cares.
While I don't always agree with JC, I have to give him credit for printing an article that may not be well received by his friends.
