Keep coming back for these
I originally purchased one set of these for a guest room. Loved them so much, I took them out of the guest room, bought two more sets and put them in the living room. They really are that nice. "Seafoam" is not the color I would use to describe it. It's not quite a Tiffany blue nor seafoam green... It's somewhere in between those two colors. And I'd say more of a "sand" than "beige".Read More

Color is NOT anywhere close to the picture online
I really wanted to like these curtains because the quality is very nice and the cotton lining is thick and soft; however, the color is not at all like what is pictured online. I expected the color to be a little off since that is usually the case with online shopping, but I did not expect the color to be way off by THIS much. The Beige is more like the tan color of a brown paper lunch bag, and the Sea Foam Green is more of a dark sage. I wish these curtains were a lighter color as shown in the picture, but unfortunately I will be returning them. I recommend these curtains if you are looking for tan and sage curtains, but NOT if you are looking for light beige and light sea foam green curtains.Read More
These panels completely fooled my installer, who's been in the drapery business since 1975. He said, "This is a very expensive fabric." I said, "IT'S POLYESTER". He almost fell off his ladder. He thought it was silk. He was also very impressed with the interlining, which makes the panel hang so much more beautifully than just a single lining does. This is the second set of these panels I've bought. I also have them in a different color in my living room. This particular panel matched the website photograph's color perfectly ... no surprises there. For the price, these panels are simply unbeatable. When I told my installer how much I paid, he flipped. Overstock, never stop selling these panels!!! They're perfect.Read More
luxury and designer results with little dollars--
If you are like me and searched for a long time to find reasonably priced drapes but in a longer length w/ designer fullness etc that you don't worry about every five seconds, then I think you will be very pleased with these drapes- I ordered samples from custom companies and looked at local custom drapes $$$. I didn't even love many of the silk fabrics available, and this stripe faux silk looks elegant and expensive. I checked out some high end retailers for drapes and on ebay, and this quality for the price surpassed anything I found. They are very full, interlined/ lined, and hang beautifully in my bedroom framing the whole room- You can tell this when the box arrives,and it is heavy !- They are folded very neatly in the box and are just very high quality. I got the 108 , even though i really needed a 103 custom length thinking I would alter them, but I was able to puddle them- and they look fantastic!-- i saved so much money purchasing these drapes!-_ The color is maybe a tad darker in person - the blue has some green in it, but it ended up blending and looking fabulous with my blue barreled ceiling-- thank you overstock for offering hard to find items at great prices!- I hope this review helps someone else -- my sister is ordering the same ones in a different color variation for her bedroom, because she liked mine so much.Read More
Just Say Yes
Perfect! Stunning in bedroom. Certainly much better than expected and comparable to custom made drapes. Very happy.Read More
Overall the product is fair. It's lined which in my opinion is a plus; however, the colors displayed online are NOT the colors of the actual drapes. The beige was about five shades darker. Almost like a mocha color. The length was also off by several inches so it did not fit my windows as I had hoped, despite the colors.Read More

Andrea Bargnani
Italian basketball player Andrea Bargnani was selected first overall in the 2006 NBA Draft. Prior to becoming a Toronto Raptor, "Il Mago" played professionally in the European basketball league and Italy's Lega A with Benetton Treviso from 2003 to 2006.
AppealAndrea's a young, rich and gifted pro athlete with a bright future ahead of him, so he most likely has a contingent of female basketball star groupies who keep him busy when he's off the court. Being from Europe probably adds an extra appeal for his North American female fans.
SuccessBargnani's selection as the NBA's No. 1 overall draft pick in 2006 was quite a coup for the young player, and obviously expanded his profile in North America where he was previously virtually unheard of prior to the draft. He goes down in the books as the sixth non-American -- and the second player without experience on a U.S. school team -- to be drafted first overall. More significantly, Andrea's the first European basketball player to hold that distinction. His multi-year deal with the Toronto Raptors will earn him almost $8 million in his first two seasons.
He already made a name for himself in his native Italy as a wonder boy while he was in his late teens. In addition to his experience on that nation's junior national basketball squad, he also played with the Italian Senior National Team. During the final of his three seasons with Benetton Treviso, he led the team to win the 2006 Italian Lega A championship, averaging 12 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and leading the League in blocks. It's no surprise that just prior to joining the NBA, he was named Euroleague's "Rising Star" as the Top European Young Player of the Year for 2005-06.
Andrea Bargnani BiographyAndrea Bargnani was born on October 26, 1985, in Rome, Italy. He began his basketball-playing career with Monte Paschi Seina's junior team in 2001. He was loaned out to Mens Sana Roma, a team that competed in the Italian Serie C2 division, during the 2001-02 season. He advanced to Italy's Serie B2 division for 2002-03 where he played for Stella Azzurra Roma.
andrea bargnani and benetton trevisoBargnani shot up the ranks to Italy's Lega A when he was signed to Benetton Treviso in 2003, where he remained until 2006. During an October 2003 pre-season game in Toronto against his future team the Raptors, the almost seven-foot wonder kid counted 13 points, five rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in 22 minutes. During his first full season in Lega A, he averaged 4.2 points and 1.6 rebounds per game over 10 matches. During his eight Euroleague appearances that season, he recorded 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds per game.
In 2004, the then 18 year old competed at the Nike Hoop Summit with the World Select Team. For the 2004-05 campaign, the rising star's average increased to 6.8 points and 3.1 rebounds over the course of 28 Lega A meetings, while over in the Euroleague, he posted 3.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in 18 games. He missed part of the season due to illness, and missed out entirely on the 2005 European Under-20s as the result of a micro fracture.
Following a frustrating end to the previous season, Bargnani returned for the 2005-06 campaign to play a more prominent role than he had during his first two years with Benetton. His time on the court increased from nine to 19 minutes per game through the regular season. During his final season before signing with the NBA, the star player led Benetton to the 2006 championships, logging over 25 minutes per game during the playoffs.
andrea bargnani is top young playerBargnani also finished first in blocks in Lega A with 63, and counted 25 points against Rome -- the highest that season. His impressive stats for the year include an average of 12 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and 1.2 steals over 47 games with Benetton. On the Euroleague side, Bargnani notched up an average of 10.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 18 games, earning the season's most points against Strasbourg and Panathinaikos with 20. He capped off his last year in the Euroleague by being named the Top European Young Player of the Year.
andrea bargnani joins the nbaOn June 28, 2006, 20-year-old Bargnani became the first European basketball player, and only the second player ever without experience on a U.S. college or high school team, to be selected first overall in the NBA Draft. He signed a two-year deal with the Toronto Raptors that will net him $7.78 million, with club options for an additional two seasons. In July 2006, the Italian Basketball Federation announced that Bargnani would not play for Italy at the FIBA World Championship in Japan that summer due to his participation in the Raptors' Las Vegas Summer League team.

KENNESAW -- Fabian Abarca broke free and bore down on the Dalton goal, and for seconds it appeared as though destiny was wearing sky blue and white.
Samuel Fraire stood tall, however -- the Catamounts goalkeeper denying the Knights striker -- and moments later Johnson was left wondering what might have been.
After narrowly missing a chance to take the lead in the Class AAAA boys soccer championship, Johnson watched Dalton respond with the first goal en route to a 2-0 victory that saw the Catamounts retain the state title and deny the Knights their first ever championship shot on Saturday at Kennesaw State's Fifth Third Bank Field.
"We had our chances; if we finished that one, if we finished the header we had earlier, we're talking about a different game," Johnson coach Brian Shirley said. "We just didn't execute like we needed to."
After watching Fraire come up huge with saves against Abarca and, just five minutes into the game, Barut Perez, Dalton found its own execution in front of goal. Justen Macias powered a header past Johnson goalkeeper Ivan Salcido -- who also enjoyed a stellar contest -- with just over three minutes left in the first half.
The Catamounts (22-0-1) doubled their advantage just after the interval when Javier Rodriguez struck to make it 2-0, helping Dalton to extend its unbeaten streak to 45 straight contests.
"That was huge, scoring right before the half; it was even bigger not to give up a goal there early," Catamounts coach Matt Cheaves said. "That was the best team we've played in the playoffs, and I think we finally wore them down with our substituting, but we had to earn that win."
The defending champions so nearly found themselves staring at a deficit just minutes after kickoff, as Perez ran on to a chipped cross from Luis Hernandez and drove his header toward the goalmouth -- only to watch Fraire scramble the shot away with 35 minutes left in the half.
The near miss acted as a sort of a wake-up call for the Catamounts, and Dalton began to find its feet as Javier Rodriguez and Isai Hernandez each tested Salcido, the Knights keeper proving equal to the shots, saving both -- while another rolled inches wide.
Johnson's midfield and attack found tough going against a Dalton midfield featuring Eder Mora and Jose Gardea, the duo choking off the Knights' momentum and setting their own team going with incisive passing.
"It seemed like they were first to every 50-50 ball there early," Shirley said. "They didn't let us build anything."
Johnson (21-2) was also stifled by injury to forward and captain Luis Deltoro, the senior leaving the game early not to return.
"That hurt, you lose your captain and cog like that..." Shirley said. "It made it even tougher."
Yet Abarca so nearly put the Knights in front, running on to a through pass on a lightning-quick counter-attack before surging toward goal. But the sophomore's shot was blocked by Fraire, and the let-off proved pivotal.
Responding almost immediately, Dalton made their attacking pressure pay off with 3:48 left in the first half, Macias running on to a re-directed cross from Rodriguez to head home for a 1-0 lead.
"That goal hurt, and it was after a mis-hit clearance, and that really kind of got our emotion down at the half," Shirley said. "But we got back up and came out and tried to get back in the game."
The Knights, led by Israel Avila in midfield, fought, but the Catamounts proved too much and doubled their lead just eight minutes into the restart.
This time Rodriguez poached a second strike when Churrui Huitanda beat Salcido to a chipped pass and nodded the ball goalward -- Rodriguez running in to slam the ball into an open net and ensure a 2-0 advantage for Dalton with 32:12 to play.
With the game getting away, Johnson responded, taking more possession while looking for more routes through to the Catamounts goal.
But the Dalton midfield and defense, led by Mora and Gardea managed to keep Johnson at bay, shackling Abarca and Perez, and forcing the Knights into blind alleys or hopeful long balls, as time drained away.
Despite the setback, Shirley feels there were plenty of lessons learned for a young Johnson squad that featured five seniors amongst its starting 11.
"The bar is set there now, and we've got a good middle school and feeder program, so hopefully we can come in here next year and build on this," Shirley said.
For his 11 seniors, Shirley offered nothing but pride and respect.
"The whole school is proud of these guys; they did something that's never been done before, and they'll realize what an incredible season this was," Shirley said. "They worked their tails off, and they're just a great group of guys."

If his name was Ahmed he would be out in a flash
There is a case in today's Herald about a man in prison. He has been there for two years.
He claimed refugee status when he arrived in New Zealand two months later. The Immigration Service rejected his claim in 1996, and the appeal authority upheld that decision at three subsequent appeals, saying he was unlikely to face any real persecution if he returned.
He attended English classes at St Benedict's Church in Newton, and converted to Catholicism there in August 1997.
He is likely to be persecuted if he returns now to Iran.
Now a couple of things you should know.
His spokesperson is John Minto, now that doesn't fill me with any confidence but lets give him the benefit of the doubt that he simply shose the wrong friend in this instance.
I don't know what the conversion rates are Muslims to Christianity but I would bet it is very low. I would hazard a guess that he is very genuine about his Christianity.
How come Ahmed Zaoui is roaming the strets giving speeches and advertising the state broadcaster and these guys are in the slammer? Either they should all be in the slammer or all out on the streets. Lets get some sanity into the issue huh!

Douglas M. Main wrote about the detection of huanglongbing disease in Southern California in the New York Times Green Blog.
The greatest immediate threat may be to the homeowners of Los Angeles County, 60 percent of who have a citrus tree in their yard, said Elizabeth Grafton-Cardwell, UC Cooperative Extension specialist and research entomologist in the Department of Entomology at UC Riverside and director of Lindcove Research & Extension Center.
The citrus greening bacteria probably spread from the cutting of budwood illegally brought in from outside the country, the article says Grafton-Cardwell said.

ARMOUR Residential REIT Inc. (NYSE:ARR) is a residential mortgage company that invests in hybrid adjustable rate, adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage backed securities. I am bullish on the company because it offers a significant potential for price appreciation, as it is trading at a significant discount to its book value. Also, the company continues to offer a healthy dividend yield of 14.74%. So, I believe ARR presents a good buying opportunity as the price has bottomed out.
Price Appreciation
The company has been historically trading at a premium to its book value, as shown in the figure above. Currently, it is trading at a P/BV of 0.701x, which is way lower than its peer companies, which means we can expect significant price appreciation. The company has been reducing its portfolio duration by selling off 30-year MBS and by increasing the exposure of 15-year MBS, which reduces its portfolio duration and reduces its interest rate risk. So, a rising interest rate will have a minimum impact on the company's book value. My price target is based on 0.90Xbvps, which comes out to be around $5.22 with a price appreciation of 28.2%.

- ARR 30-Year Financial Data
- The intrinsic value of ARR
- Peter Lynch Chart of ARR
Also, ARR offers an attractive dividend yield, which provides a compelling total return of 42%.The management is expected to keep dividends at $0.05 per month for 2014. Another encouraging sign for investors is that the company is also repurchasing its shares, as it has been authorized to repurchase $80 billion worth of shares as of Sept. 30, which means that the management also confirms that the shares are undervalued.
The Fed is meeting again now to decide whether it should continue to taper or not. Once again they are facing mixed results, as the unemployment rate fell to 6.7% in December 2013. However, the labor force participation rate fell to 62.8% from 63%. It also failed to meet expectations of 197,000, as only 74,000 jobs were added in a month. I think the Fed will continue to cut down on its asset purchases because the disruption in the job data was mainly due to severe weather conditions in December, and the numbers are expected to rebound as the weather eases up.
There are two reasons why tapering should not be a serious concern for investors. Firstly, a gradual cut down on asset purchases will bring certainty to mortgage REIT companies. It will result in an increase in interest rates and deterioration of book values. But the decline in book values will be more manageable as the market has already overcompensated in the last year. Also, companies could shape up their portfolios accordingly. Second, in the past, mortgage REITs have managed to perform well in rising interest rate scenarios in a growing economy, and the Fed has made it clear that its support will only end if the economy continues to show positive trends.
The Fed has also given some targets before it makes changes to short-term interest rates, which include bringing the unemployment rate to 6.5% and inflation to 2.0%. But Bernanke has made it clear that these are not triggers; rather they are guidelines for the future. I believe that the Fed will wait to complete the cut down on monthly asset purchases before making any decision on short term interest rates. So, I believe 2014 will paint an encouraging outlook for mortgage REIT companies.
There are some risks as the company has been funding its long term assets with a short-term repo agreement, so volatility in short-term rates could cause liquidity problems. Another important risk is the rapid rise in interest rates, which will shrink the company's book value.
I believe that if investors are willing to take the exposure in mortgage REITs, then ARR presents an excellent opportunity. It is currently trading at the bottom end of the 52-week range and at a significant discount to its book value, which means that it presents a significant upside potential. Furthermore, the interest rate environment seems to be very stable and certain, so I expect book values will remain stable and hence will positively impact the bottom line of the company.

Thousands of Somali refugees living in Nairobi are being forced to leave behind their homes and businesses as the government forcibly relocates them to overcrowded camps in the north or deports them to their war-torn home country in a misguided attempt to prevent future terrorism.
Approximately half a million Somalis fled to Kenya after their nation's 1991 civil war. On June 30, Kenya's highest court upheld a ruling that said deporting the entire refugee population of Nairobi in the name of national security was constitutional. Refugee community leaders were petitioning the court to review the new directive, which they claim violates basic human rights to work, property, and protection against discrimination under international law.
Over the past year, the Somalian terrorist group al Shabaab has shown itself to be more resilient than originally thought, wreaking havoc throughout Kenya. In the most notorious attack, the extremist Islamist group occupied Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall last September, claiming hundreds of lives. Last month, al Shabaab fighters killed as many as 60 civilians in a rampage through Kenya's coastal region, while the government first failed to respond and then blamed the attacks on opposition parties. Survivors of the attacks were enraged over the authorities' slow response to the massacre. Evicted refugees argue that they are now being scapegoated within Kenya's increasingly volatile political environment.
"The court has vindicated us. We can now go on with what we started — moving the refugees to the camps," said Cabinet Secretary of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government Joseph Ole Lenku, who originally ordered the deportations in late March. He made clear that the relocation will not be temporary. "Ensuring that the refugees are in their designated camps is the beginning. The next move is to close the camps, and I reiterate that the refugee camps have outlived their purpose," he said, explaining that "the camps are now training bases for terrorists and launching pads for attacks on innocent Kenyans."
The sudden forced relocation has left no aspect of the refugees' lives untouched. Business leaders among the petitioners were dismayed to find that they had just weeks or even days to sell their businesses, forcing them to abandon their stores and accept below market prices. Another refugee worries for his grandmother, who suffers from kidney failure and, like many others recently deported to the camps, is barred from leaving to receive medical treatment. While the recent court ruling paves the way for an escalation in deportations, the campaign to quarantine Somali refugees has been going on for months. In April, police arrested 4,000 Somalis, leaving children as young as three months old to fend for themselves according to a Nairobi-based charity.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) refused to condemn the deportations outright. "UNHCR is not against the urban refugees being moved to the camps, but we want some considerations to be made including [for] health issues, the livelihoods of refugees and education of refugee children in urban areas," said a spokesperson for the organization. Amnesty International, on the other hand, severely rebuked Kenya's government. "Using the pretext of protecting national security, the Kenyan authorities have cracked down on refugees, effectively destroying any form of stability they may have managed to build after seeking refuge in Kenya," said Michelle Kagari, Amnesty International's Deputy Regional Director for Eastern Africa.
Amnesty pointed out that the very same judge who upheld the deportation law ruled last July that forcibly relocating refugees to camps would violate fundamental human rights and risk indirectly forcing them to return to Somalia. High Court Judge Justice Majanja also previously rejected the law on the grounds that the government had not demonstrated pushing Somali refugees into camps would improve national security. While the government has still not provided any proof this is true, Justice Manjanja did not call attention to this glaring inconsistency. The Dadaab refugee camp in Northern Kenya — the world's largest — where many of the Somali refugees are being sent, is known for chronic shortages of food and security. The new wave of arrivals to the camp, this time coming from within Kenya's borders, is sure to add further stress to the camp's already limited resources.
Some analysts argue al Shabaab's attacks on "soft targets," such as Kenya's malls and villages, are part of a larger plan by the group to push the government to retaliate against the Somali refugee population. Al Shabaab figures Kenya's Somali population, increasingly alienated by government persecution, will provide them with the revival of support they sorely need. According to this logic, the jihadi group has been losing ground in Somalia over the past two years and is looking to expand its support, and export its conflict, to neighboring Kenya. Following this line of thought, the government's decision to enact punitive legislation against Somalis who have lived in Nairobi for years could actually significantly undermine Kenya's national security interests.
Hussein Mohamed Haji, chairman of the community association in a Nairobi suburb with a large Somali refugee population, gave voice to the devastating impact of the mass deportations. "In 2006, we were welcomed in Kenya and given alien cards. We were told by immigration that the only thing we could not do in Kenya was to vote or be voted for. We opened banks, we started businesses and some of us bought property. How can we go to the camps, and how can we run our businesses if we are forced to the camps? We just don't know what do to."

Kado reflects on 40 years of teaching
Brenda Kado knew what she wanted to be at an early age.
"My sister, neighbors and I would play school when we were little, but they would never let me be the teacher because I was the youngest," she said. "Then, I would mumble to myself, 'You just wait -- when I grow up, I WILL be the teacher."
She fulfilled that promise as she spent nearly 40 years as a teacher, 34 of those at Elmwood. Her career will come to an end this year, as she announced her retirement.
"Teaching in Elmwood has been a joy because of the people," the 1968 Elmwood High School graduate said. "The staff and administration are terrific! The kids are great, and the townspeople are very education-minded. This combination makes for a wonderful school and a fabulous place to work!"

Dear Editor:
It's an election year, and the Minnesota State Democratic and Republican caucuses start up again Feb. 4.
If you are a stronger DFLer, then you know that three important seats are up for election. Mark Dayton is running for re-election for Governor of Minnesota, Rick Nolan is up for re-election as a United States Congressman, and Senator AL Franken is up for re-election as United States Senator. If you are a Democrat, then you know that all these people need and deserve your support. Your caucus meets at 7 p.m. and registration starts at 6:30 p.m. You can call your county auditors' office to find the locations, or call me at 763-689-4246.
If you are a Republican, and you want to support your local candidates, such as State Representative Brian Johnson or State Senator Sean Nienow, you can also call the auditor's office for Isanti County or Chisago County, and find out your party's Republican caucus locations.
If you are sick of both the Democrats and the Republicans, consider the political parties in Egypt. In that country, they seem to just set up a coup and wipe out the opposition. In this country we have a lot of gridlock, but we don't have riots or machine guns. We just get talked to death.
All humor aside, we have a lot of people in both parties who try to study the issues, solve problems, and even on rare occasions take responsibility and work together. They may even try to be working for the betterment of our country. It is our job as citizens to be well informed and to participate in our democracy by voting. You can participate even more by meeting and joining up with your local precinct caucus. This is where grassroots politics starts.

Getting firsthand information from an actual car owner is one sure way to get an idea of car performance once it leaves the lot. Autobytel features real consumer reviews that give the unbiased experience of a car.
Best Vehicle Ever
Pros: the music selections
Cons: a little crowded for 3 people in the back seatMy wife and I own the 4 cyl Malibu which is very adequate powerwise with good gas mileage. It has many, many features like all kinds of music (no need for CD's), Onstar that takes us to an exact address, info on the dash that gives us mileage, tire pressure, trip mile selection, temperature inside and out, sound speakers front and back adjustable, heated seats, seat belt exteenders, and many more. Excellent dealer service where we bought the car.
Pros: keyless starter
Cons: Engine Light
Advice: If you have a crack on the exhaust because the engine light will stay on and you can not use the keyless starter./rides is very good. Gas mileage is also good on lng trips. 30 mpg or better The best I have done is 33mpg
Pros: The compliments I get from everyone who sees it.
Cons: having to get out from behind the wheel.
Advice: Buy this car and don't look back.We looked at Lincolns, Buicks, Chryslers, Toyotas, Nissans and Hondas and NOTHING came close to this car. We finally got the LTZ in black with the 4 cylinder married to a 6 speed. It's quick, smooth and gets 32MPH. People stop in front of my house and get out of their cars to get a closer look. This car is quite, refined and when you first drive it you will think you are in a $40,000 car instead of one I paid $27,000 for.
Pros: OnStar
Cons: Nothing....well...maybe the missing V6, at least the 4 cyl is better on the enviornment.
Advice: Test drive the V6 and the 4 cylinderThe 2008 Malibu.....I LOVED IT! I test drove the V6 first, it was an LTZ model. I then took the LT1 model for a spin, it's got a 4 cylinder engine, WOW!!!!!!!! The 4 banger is just as peppy as the V6. The fuel economy is better and it costs alot less. The bells and whistles and comfortable interior make you forget about the V6 engine missing! XM satellite radio....OnStar....hands free phone....remote car starter.....navigation......and a beautifully designed interior. Who could ask for more? HOT CAR!!!! The body style is WAYYYYYYYY better than before! I didn't like anything about the Malibu prior to it's body style change.
Pros: steareo six disc cd changer
Cons: all the problems i had from day 1
Advice: dont buy this year malibuwell being that the deal went so fast i didnt get ot test drive the car i just viewed it and bought it because dealership was about to close so i just went on apearance being that it was still under factory warranty. big mistake the next day i smelled something burning and it had a leak in the radiator so it was back in the dealer ship the next day for one week.after the that the brakes went bad they busted when i pressed on them and then at times the vehicle would not start. out of a year of having this vehicle ive been in loaner cars most of the time they could not find the problem finally after one year it took another dealership to fix the problem now it seems like the brakes need to be replaced again.and the sunvisor mirror does not work.this has been a real headache the car has been reposessed for some reason im not to upset about that my credit yeah but do i miss the car heck no that car was nothing but trouble from the beginning and im pretty sure that that wasnt goin to be the end
Pros: Engine
Cons: No leather option on lower end models like the LS
Advice: This one is an absolute bargain for the amount vehicle you get!I have around 4000 miles on my Malibu already and I absolutely love it! I believe this is the best car I've ever owned. GM, thank you, because you obviously did your homework.
Pros: The looks, the power, the tons of amenities, the high quality feel, etc... Overall, I feel like I have purchased a high end luxury car except when I think about the low price tag!
Cons: The transmission shifts a little slowly but adds to the smooth ride. Also, the power mirror controls require a stretch from a driving position.
Advice: Test drive this car! I don't care how many years you have driven a Honda or a Toyota, this new Malibu will knock your socks off!WOW! Chevy has really stepped up to the plate on this one! The new design and features on this Malibu are amazing! Soft supportive leather seats, very quick 252HP V6, tons of room, and the rich looks of an expensive European import. Prior to seeing and driving this car, I have always thought 'boring rental car' when I thought about a Chevy sedan. Well, now I feel spoiled every time I drive my new Malibu. I love all the power features, heated seats, rich lines, extremely quiet and smooth ride, and knowing that I saved thousands over an Accord or Camry comparably equipped!


text: I just bought Pro Tools 11 for a Windows 7 sp1 64-bit studio PC. Using an M-Audio Profire Lightbridge. After installing PT 11.0.1, the software worked brilliantly, but I cannot, for the life of me, get any output from my main outs on the Lightbridge unit. I double-checked I/O , Hardware and Playback settings. Everything seems correct using the right ASIO driver, matched sample rates (48kHz), correct soft patches to the analog outputs on the Lightbridge. The audio tracks are also routed to the correct outputs via i/o in the mix window. Under "default output" in i/o, the box reads differently than what is selected. I thought this curious. Deleted all outputs and recreated outputs 1-2 and soft-patched to analog outs. Still nothing. Installed most recent version of Profire Lightbridge driver (6.0.4) Uninstalled PT 11.0.1 and installed ver. 10.3, but same issue. Recreated same issue on Macbook Pro boot camp Windows 7 sp1 64-bit. Changed Windows firewire driver to (legacy), but PT would not initialize firewire interface. Audio passes when used as "sound card" in windows, so I'm convinced it's between the M-Audio interface and PT in Windows 7. Additional information of studio PC: AMD FX 6-core 3GHz 8GB RAM Windows 7 SP-1 64-bit no Wireless adapter External HDD: OWC Mercury Elite Pro What am I missing? Or is it a bug? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :D Thank you!

Things weren't looking too sanguine for Halo 4's Crimson Map Pack when, after its release on December 10, players who were supposed to receive the multiplayer add-on for free via the War Games pass found themselves being charged, full price, upon downloading it over Xbox Live.
Microsoft's solution, however — allowing temporary, "complimentary" access to players while the pass situation would be resolved — now appears to have ignited a new problem: bans. Reports abound on the official Halo 4 forums from players who, having downloaded the Crimson Map Pack for free, claim to have been hammered with the notorious perma-ban throughout certain sections of matchmaking.
Similar to the Crimson Pack payment imbroglio, the problem doesn't appear to be universal; merely widespread. Beginning over the weekend, the questions and complaints on the 100+ page "Official Halo 4 Ban Thread" began following an identical narrative: pass owners downloaded the maps ("Wreckage," "Harvest" and "Shatter"), took them for a spin through matchmaking (either online or off), and then discovered their perma-ban the next time they reconnected with the game. It's worth noting that these aren't blanket perma-bans — only partial online features are being restricted — but Microsoft and 343 may well have another fiasco on their hands nonetheless.
As of right now, the most official response to the matter stems from a forum moderator on the aforementioned thread:
We are not permanently banning players for previewing or purchasing the Crimson Map Pack. We are currently investigating the recent reports of permanent matchmaking bans.
We will provide further updates tomorrow. Thank you for your patience.
In other words, pass owners who downloaded the Crimson Pack for free, as per Microsoft's offer, weren't committing a crime after all. That's a relief! Clarification and vindication, however? Well, those are still forthcoming.
We'll have the updates for you as soon as they're provided. Between War Games and Spartan Ops and a well-executed co-op campaign format, 343 Industries has fostered an enticing online atmosphere for Halo fans in their first endeavor with the series (read our Halo 4 review). It would be unfortunate to see the trivialities of DLC implementation get in the way.
The Halo 4 Crimson Map Pack released for 800 Microsoft Points on December 10, 2012.

Tight end Antonio Gates, who went to incredible lengths and tolerated immense pain to play in two separate postseasons, tried again to play through an injury on Sunday.
But after getting his left ankle rolled a second time, Gates left the game in the second quarter and did not return.
"I couldn't put any pressure on it," said Gates, who wore a protective boot after the game. "On that last play where Philip hit me down the middle, a guy fell on it again. The pain became really difficult to deal with at that point."
Gates entered the game as the league's fourth-leading receiver with 478 yards. He caught two passes for 12 yards before leaving, unable to put pressure on his foot any longer.
The league's third-leading receiver also left the game early.
Malcom Floyd suffered a hamstring injury and did not play the final quarter. He had two receptions for 15 yards.
Receiver Legedu Naanee was inactive with a hamstring injury.
Gates will undergo tests today and could be in danger of having his team-leading regular-season start streak stopped at 85 games.
Crumbling at end again
It was on the defense again.
"Today was on us," end Luis Castillo said. "We had a chance to give our offense an opportunity to win a game. That's all you can ask for, regardless what happens in the first three quarters."
After being slashed, run through and run by while giving up 17 points in the first half, almost as much as the defense had allowed in any previous game this season, the Chargers had seemingly corrected their issues. They got the Rams off the field quickly (14 total plays for 32 yards) on the host's first four second-half drives.
Then it was as if they could hardly get out of their own way or in the way of Steven Jackson.
The Rams running back carried on the Rams' last eight meaningful straight plays from scrimmage, right up until Sam Bradford kneeled down three times to bleed the clock.
Jackson runs got St. Louis in position for a 48-yard field goal that turned out to the difference. Then, after the Chargers drove 76 yards in 40 seconds to get to 20-17 with four minutes left, Jackson ran five straight times for 28 yards and two first downs.
"We stop the run in the end, we win the game," linebacker Kevin Burnett said. "Our offense is going to go down and score. You're telling me you're giving Philip Rivers two-plus minutes with two timeouts, he's going to go down and score."
New look
Linebackers Antwan Barnes, Cyril Obiozor and Kion Wilson, safeties Tyrone Carter and Quinton Teal and receiver Richard Goodman were all active Sunday.
None were on the roster three weeks ago.
Teal and Wilson were signed in Week Four and were playing in their third game with the Chargers. Obiozor and Carter were signed in Week Five. Carter was active for the first time Sunday. Barnes and Goodman were signed this past week.
Cason crashes
Cornerback Antoine Cason, who had started his first season as a starter well, had his worst game Sunday.
"We have to look ourselves in the mirror and start there," Cason said.
He already had.
"I know it starts with me," said Cason who was simply outrun by rookie Danario Alexander on a 38-yard touchdown pass and also was beaten on multiple other routes. "I didn't play well. That can't happen. The way I played today is unacceptable."
More kicking woes
There are six special teams units. After having a field goal blocked Sunday, the Chargers have had major, game-affecting blunders in five of them.
Nate Kaeding, who made a 41-yard field goal earlier in the game, slipped as he planted and sent his fourth-quarter attempt from 49 yards lower than normal. It was deflected by James Hall and fell harmlessly short.
Kaeding tweaked his groin before the game, and punter Mike Scifres handled kickoff duties.
"It was a fight throughout the game," Kaeding said.
Asked if the grin affected his plant on the blocked kick, Kaeding said, "I don't know. It certainly didn't help."
Nuts 'n' Bolts
• Buster Davis made three outstanding catches, including one for his first touchdown since his rookie season (2007). But he also dropped three catchable passes.
• Ryan Mathews started at tailback for the first time since the season opener but only had a few more carries and a few more yards than he had in the past two games. With the Chargers down early, he ran just 12 times for 64 yards, including a long of 19.
• Nose tackle Ogemdi Nwagbuo was inactive for the first time this season. Rookie Cam Thomas was active a second straight Sunday and struggled at times. Defensive end Vaughn Martin was inactive for the sixth time.
• Rivers extended his streak of games with a touchdown pass to 19 games, one shy of Dan Fouts' team record.
• With Marcus McNeill active (and starting at left tackle), Adam Terry was inactive. Brandyn Dombrowski, who had started the first five games in McNeill's absence, played just two snaps. He was a tight end in the two Mike Tolbert runs inside the 5-yard line, the second of which was a score from the 1.

Keita taking nothing for granted in trophy hunt
Barcelona midfielder Seydou Keita is refusing to get carried away with his side's seemingly unstoppable charge for an historic trophy treble this season, pointing out that nothing has been won yet.
Barca's last piece of major silverware came back in 2006 but the Catalan giants are on course to become the first Spanish team to win the treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and European Cup this term.
Pep Guardiola's side boast a six-point lead at the top of the Primera Division with eight games remaining, are already in the Copa del Rey final, where they face Athletic Bilbao next month, and face a showdown with Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals.
In all, Barca have won 37 of their 50 competitive matches this season, losing just five times.
But despite all that, Keita is determined to keep talk of success on hold until they have some trophies to shout about.
"We still haven't won any title, so we cannot talk about success," said Keita.
The former Sevilla midfielder was speaking after his goal helped Barca extend their recent unbeaten run to nine matches with the 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich in the return leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Keita finished off a fine team move in the 73rd minute to cancel out Franck Ribery's 47th-minute opener for Bayern and earn Barca a 5-1 aggregate victory over the German outfit.
"Bayern are a great team, but we were very well prepared," added Keita. "I've scored a very important goal for the team and I'm very happy, but the most important thing is the group."
Keita's team-mate Andres Iniesta added on his club's website: "We knew that the tie was in our hands but we still wanted to show that we are ambitious. It was very important that we didn't lose this return match."
Now standing Barca in the way of a place in May's final in Rome are Chelsea, who progressed to the last four with a thrilling 7-5 aggregate win over Liverpool.
"The next tie will be attractive and interesting. We must think about how we are two games from Rome," said Iniesta.

Before we start with Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure let's take a look at the main causes of high blood pressure.
There is no sole provocation for high blood pressure, and as in
various other ailments the exact causes are not completely understood.
But listed below is what we do know.
Now onto the natural home remedies for high blood pressure.
Remember that these remedies are based on folklore, legend, tradition and word of mouth, and most of them originated in Africa.
Probably all the more reason to pay attention to them, is that it is a known fact that African Americans develop high blood pressure more than Caucasian's do and also at a younger age.
Mix one tablespoon of cake flour with one tablespoon of cayenne pepper. Add water to make a stiff dough. Roll into pellets and allow to dry overnight, and then eat one pellet a day.
Mince a few garlic cloves and add a spoonful of olive oil. Mix in a bottle of hot water and allow to stand overnight.
Drink the liquid first thing in the morning, after shaking well.
Grate a potato and add a cup of hot water. Drink the liquid when cool.

Berberis fendleri
Fendler's Barberry
Details6-8' tall x 6-8' wide (seed propagated). A little-known deciduous native shrub from NM and CO, Berberis fendleri contributes year-round beauty to the garden. Bright red fruit (that hang on the plant all winter) follow the profuse display of pendulous yellow spring flowers. Its edible fruits taste like tart cherries. Plant in semi-shade locations with rich garden soil. Keep mulched and water regularly. To insure fruit set, plant two or more plants for cross-pollination. Berberis fendleri does have thorns and is an excellent shrub for creating songbird habitat and providing nectar for pollinators, as it produces large quantities of fragrant flowers. It is a fast growing shrub when planted into good soil and given adequate water. It doesn't like to be grown dry, as it is a riparian species in nature. A quick grower, it will reach approximately 4 -5 ft in height and spread in just three to four growing seasons. (Previously listed as Mahonia fendleri).

Comments about High Country Gardens Berberis fendleri:
This came smaller than I expected, but has grown a lot. The coloring in the winter and the spring were pretty. It is June 1 and it is not blooming yet, but that may be because it is only 5 Months in the ground here, in New Jersey . It fared well in the winter with no protection next to a wall. I think it will be a beautiful shrub. The staff recommended it to me.

Comments about High Country Gardens Berberis fendleri:
This is my favorite salvia. It grows well, will tolerate being both a little too dry or a little too wet. The bees love it. Tolerates my HEAVY clay soil. It flowers pretty much all summer and into the fall if you deadhead it regularly. The only problem I ever have with it, is it gets powdery mildew if it rains a lot. It always comes back the following year healthy though.

Comments about High Country Gardens Berberis fendleri:
I really liked this shrub and was looking forward to having it in my garden. Unfortunately it died in its second winter. We had an especially cold winter in the denver area so possibly would do better in a more typical one. I'll try it again and hope it gets more mature before another suoer cold winter comes along.

Comments about High Country Gardens Berberis fendleri:
I bought 5 acres of pinon juniper woodland. Species diversity is low, possibly due to over 10 years of drought. I have been collecting seeds where I can; however have not seen Berberis fendleri even though it is listed in my county in NM. My plants arrived safe and healthy. I am grateful to High Country Gardens for providing these plants. I will come back for more shrubs and trees as they become available. My goal is to create a food forest for wildlife and myself, as well as for the areas around me that will receive free seeds from me through birds and other wildlife. Share the bounty!

Suggested Companion Plants:
USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

American Airlines flight cancellations: Sickouts, work orders hamper airline
The skies have not been so friendly for American Airlines over the past week.
Hundreds of the carriers' flights have either been canceled or delayed over the past week because of a pair of issues - a spike in both mechanical work orders and pilot sick calls. Hundreds more are in jeopardy as a battle between the company and its pilots continues.
Ongoing employee unrest over American's effort to cut $1 billion in labor costs is fueling the mass cancellations and massive flight delays nationwide. According to FlightStats.com, fewer than 37 percent of the airline's flights this past Monday arrived as scheduled.Date Total Flights On-Time Cancellations Delays Excessive Delays Sept. 15 1621 51.33% 37 752 348 Sept. 16 1837 45.24% 92 914 446 Sept. 17 1859 36.58% 109 1070 513 Sept. 18 1798 45.15% 58 954 457 Sept. 19 1770 54.15% 34 796 291
Source: FlightStats.com. An excessive delay is defined as one that is longer than 44 minutes.
That's a huge drop year-to-date. Last September at this time, that on-time number hovered around 81 percent.
"You simply follow all the rules - the federal rules, the company rules and the union rules - and by doing that, you can almost shut the airline down," retired airline captain Denny Kelly said.
Earlier this week, the bankrupt airline gave layoff notices to thousands of employees after a judge allowed American to throw out its contract with its pilots.
The combination of sickouts and mechanical writeups is leading to the cancellation of 2 percent of the airline's flights, which amounts to dozens of daily flights. The issues may last into October, officials anticipate.
Stuck in the middle of all of this are the passengers who are just trying to get from point A to point B safely and promptly.
"I would encourage the pilots to take a deal and move on with things," American Airlines passenger Charles Weaver said. "It's probably the best deal they are going to get."
The entire ordeal has also caused industry experts to lose faith in the airline. On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal published a story advising travelers to avoid flying on American altogether until the strife ends.
In a statement to the company's website, American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks said that the cancellation of flights will actually lead to improved reliability and on-time performance.
"We recognize these adjustment may affect our people and our customers and are taking several proactive steps to minimize any inconvenience," Hicks said.
American Airlines later released this statement attributed to Hicks:
"We are confident in the causes of the recent operational challenges of flight cancellations and delays. Prior to the recent issues, American had been running a good operation, with on-time performance and reliability measures at their best levels in many years The recent disruptions are primarily due to the significant increase in maintenance write-ups by our pilots, many right at the time of departure. Additionally, continued higher-than-normal sick usage by pilots, which has been up more than 20 percent year over year and has been elevated for months, impacts the availability of reserve pilots, which can ultimately lead to cancellations. Our pilot staffing - without the recent actions regarding maintenance write-ups and the continued increase in sick time - is adequate to meet our scheduling needs and recalling pilots from furlough would not be needed.
First, we apologize to all of our customers for the inconvenience this has caused. We understand how irritating and unfortunate this is in interrupting or delaying their travel plans. We appreciate their patience and hope for their understanding. We also appreciate very much the extra and difficult work this has caused so many of our people and especially appreciate the fabulous job our maintenance crews have been doing in taking care of these additional write-ups and getting planes back on schedule as fast as possible. In addition, our inventory of spare parts is at the highest level in years.
American has taken significant steps to try to limit the impact on our customers. We have carefully selected some 300 flights this week to pre-cancel to allow us to re-accommodate passengers in advance. And, through October we have reduced our schedule 1 to 2 percent as well. In addition, we have increased staffing in all other areas to assist in re-accommodating customers and are reaching out to customers proactively to notify them of the options available and the ability to standby for earlier flights at no charge.
We remain committed to doing all we can to serve our customers to provide safe, reliable transportation, just as they have always expected and received from American Airlines."
