Dylan Heinen (2-4, 2 RBI, 1 run), Robert Schunder (2-3, 2B, 3 RBI, 2 runs), Drew Seidman (2-3, 2B, 2 RBI, 1 run) and Ethan Raisner (2-3, 1 RBI, 1 run) led the way for the Threshers on offense. Jude Sargent also added two hits and Jacob Newbury an RBI single despite the two of them splitting catching duties in the sweltering heat. Seidman, Josh Liebman and Brian Chelli threw shutout innings to close out the game. The game ended when Hache hit a towering fly ball to right center, but Schunder got to it to make the catch and then doubled off the Owl runner from second.

Lollipop Tree Blue Jays Beat Fire Union Cubs 11-8.
The Blue Jays beat the Cubs in an Instructional League game with a Major League feel as the last two unbeaten teams in the IL battled it out for 1st place.
The Blue Jays bats were hot early in the top of the 1st with singles from 5 of their first 6 batters for a 2-0 lead, but stranded the bases loaded. The Cubs roared back with 6 straight hits and 5 runs in the bottom of the inning for a 5-2 lead. Pitchers Jack Kennedy for the Cubs and Finn McHugh for the Blue Jays then each pitched a scoreless inning in the 3rd. In the 4th, the Blue Jays tied the game at 5-5 and Bobby LaChance blanked the Cubs. In the 5th, both teams hit well of the kid pitchers as the Blue Jays took a 9-5 lead and then the Cubs rallied for three runs of their own to cut the score to 9-8. Defense mostly took over from there as the Blue Jays added single runs in the 5th and 6th while the Cubs were held scoreless thanks to flawless Blue Jay defense.
The Blue Jays offense was led by Chuck Blanchard (3 for 4, 3 runs), Finn McHugh (2 runs), Matthew Ganey (3 for 3, 3 runs), LaChance (3 for 3, 2 runs, double), and Connor Schulken (2 for 3). The Cubs were led by Nathan Gallo (3 for 4, run), Walker Disque (3 for 4, 1 run), Jack Kennedy (2 for 4, double, run), Jack Redmond (2 for 3, 1 run), and Charlie Lewis (2 for 3, run).

Saints & Sinners - Woodside
It's a nice comfy spot with decent food. I've had the burger, which isn't quite Donovan's but isn't bad at all. I've also had a pretty nice piece of salmon and some OK fish and chips. But it's really a slightly upscale Irish bar (although not so upscale that you can't see the Mets game on half a dozen TVs) and not a destination for food.
I concur with both Al and Deborah. Definitely not an eating destination by any stretch, but they do a good job with Irish pub fare (burger, steak sandwich, fish and chips, etc; have not tried the breakfast or the more gastro-pubby fare), and more importantly pull a good Guinness. A decent place to have a drink, but the big square bar in the dead center of the place makes it feel a bit claustrophobic after a while.
Nearby alternatives:
Donovan's: For their famous and brilliant burger, good stuffed clams and French Onion soup, other fare is dodgy. Older crowd.
Cuckoo's Nest: Somewhat better pub food than S&S, they also keep the kitchen open later and have (IMO) more congenial ambiance.
re: elbev
re: elbev
I've heard McGuires has good food as well. The Nest has good atmosphere, but I don't really care for their food, outside of the brunch on the weekends (11-3). I've only eaten there a couple of times but once the chicken tenders were bone dry and next time I think I ordered a burger and the bun was soaked with grease. I cannot say enough good things about the breakfast, though.
The Nest also has a much better bar set up than S&S. When it 's nice out, they open up the whole front of the place so all the fresh air comes in. Ah, summer.. :)

Drug dealer only has to pay back £1,400
11:00am Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News
THE leader of a drugs gang who made more than £650,000 from selling cocaine in Warrington will pay back £1,400.
Leon Cullen, aged 25, formerly of Westbridge Mews, Paddington is currently serving a nine year and eight month prison sentence for running the 18 man cartel.
During a Proceeds of Crime Act hearing at Chester Crown Court on Thursday, it was heard he made £655,894 from shifting large weights of cocaine to towns across the north west.
Up to 4kg of the class A drug would be moved at a time, Cullen using employees in Paddington, Bewsey, Winwick Quay, Callands, Orford, Grappenhall and Wilderspool to sell it and handle money.
The court heard that his assests had been seized by the police, but were only worth £1,407.
Recorder of Chester Elgan Edwards approved a seizure order for the money to be taken.

Birth Control Health Center
Birth Control Pills
Birth control is a way for men and women to prevent pregnancy. There are many different methods of birth control, including hormonal contraception such as "the pill."
Women take the pill by mouth to prevent pregnancy and, when taken correctly, is up to 99.9% effective. However, the pill does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV (the virus that causes AIDS). The latex male condom provides the best protection from most STDs. Other types of combined estrogen and progestin hormonal contraception include the patch and the vaginal ring.

Long-Term Birth Control: New Implants and Patches
Birth control pills aren't for everyone. If you've forgotten your pills too many times -- or can't take them -- there are plenty of options. The birth control patch (Ortho Evra), vaginal ring (NuvaRing), and three types of birth control implants (Mirena, Implanon, and Essure) offer long-term birth control that is virtually hassle-free for months, years, or forever. If pregnancy is still a future possibility for you, make your choice carefully. With Ortho Evra, NuvaRing, and Mirena, fertility...

How Does Hormonal Contraception Work?
Normally a woman becomes pregnant when an egg released from her ovary (the organ that holds her eggs) is fertilized by a man's sperm. The fertilized egg attaches to the inside of a woman's womb (uterus), where it receives nourishment and develops into a baby. Hormones in the woman's body control the release of the egg from the ovary -- called ovulation -- and prepare the body to accept the fertilized egg.
Hormonal contraceptives (the pill, the patch, and the vaginal ring) all contain a small amount of man-made estrogen and progestin hormones. These hormones work to inhibit the body's natural cyclical hormones to prevent pregnancy. Pregnancy is prevented by a combination of factors. The hormonal contraceptive usually stops the body from ovulating. Hormonal contraceptives also change the cervical mucus to make it difficult for the sperm to find an egg. Hormonal contraceptives can also prevent pregnancy by making the lining of the womb inhospitable for implantation.
A new option for hormonal contraceptives is extended-cycle pill use; the first one approved is called Seasonale. Seasonale contains the same hormones as in other birth control pills, but they are taken in a longer cycle to reduce the number of yearly menstrual periods from 13 periods a year to only four periods a year. Therefore, women menstruate only once each season.
Seasonale contains the same combination of two hormones commonly used in other hormonal contraceptives, and are in low doses taken continuously for 12 weeks followed by one week of inactive pills which causes a menstrual cycle.
What Are Mini Pills?
These are pills that contain only one hormone (progestin). They do not contain estrogen and may be prescribed in women who are breastfeeding or in women who experience nausea with estrogen.
How Do Mini Pills Work?
Mini pills work by thickening the cervical mucus so the sperm cannot reach the egg. The hormone in the pills also changes the lining of the uterus, so that implantation of a fertilized egg is much less likely to occur. In some cases, mini pills prevent the release of an egg. A pill is taken every day.
How Effective Are Mini Pills?
If mini pills are used consistently and correctly, they are about 95% effective -- somewhat less effective than standard birth control pills.

BMW 5-Series Starting Problems
Sorry for te late reply; the chains in the M30 engines are pretty durable. They will almost always stretch rather than break(though they can still cause damage should they jump a few teeth. You can pull the valve cover and see how far the adjuster piston is extended. I think that you can also buy a new chain with a master link, which makes the job MUCH easier.

smom Posts: 1I have a 1998 328i 134k miles and love the car - last few weeks sometimes when starting it seems like the car is gasping or something it needs to start is just not available. No clicking noise - and no consistency in when it occurs. So far when it happens I have been able to get it started after two or three try's ---
Any thoughts or direction would help - I recognize this is for 5-series Bimmers - but would be thankful for help with my 3-series.

fmazava Posts: 1Cold start problem. Engine turns over and its hit and miss if it runs. If it doesnt, the car gets flooded and I have to wait a while to try again. If it gets going, I have to wait again for engine to warm up before It can be driven away otherwise the engine cuts off and steering locks up. After warming up the car drives well indeed for its age. Is it the auto choke? Either way, all helpful suggestions are most welcome....
sierrajadeus Posts: 1We have a 1988 528E BMW we worked on recently replacing the water pump, hose, alternator belt and fan clutch. It ran fine after we replaced this 2 days ago until yesterday. It won't even start. The battery is charged fully, the alternator is fine according to my husband. The starter may be the problem, but it shows it should work. We don't know if we may have a problem with a sensor. It will light up everything when we go to start it, but it won't even turn over or even click. If you have any suggestions, please give us any advice. My husband is a good mechanic but unfamiliar with foreign cars. Thank you. We are keeping it on this site to view suggestions.
Sierrajadeus :confuse:
1. Check and clean all battery cables and engine ground straps.
2. Load test the battery; a simple voltage test often won't reveal a bad battery.
3. How do you know the alternator is "fine"?
My money is on a bad battery.

joeyi Posts: 11I have a 2005 525 with 65,000 miles. Last week I noticed that when I would start my car, it was not turning over as soon as it should. I thought maybe it was the battery, so I took the car to a reputable battery shop in town. They tested the battery and I was told I definetly needed a new battery (the gentlemen showed me my current volts and where they should be at). Once the battery was installed, the gentleman asked if I would start my car... I did and there was still that hesitation. We repeated this twice and I still experienced the same hesitation and was told it is probably my starter. Later that day I went to start my car and it would not turn over - however all my lights, paneling, radio, etc... all worked fine. Today I took the car to the bmw dealer.... I received a call that the technicians had my car on the computer for 3 hours and they can not detect what the problem is and the computer is telling them there are no faults. Great..... I was then informed I am responsible for the 3 hours of diagnostic repair to the tune of $285.00!!! Well, now that I am into this for $285 with no solution to the problem, I wanted to see if anyone has experienced this problem or if anyone has any idea what the problem may be??? The dealer told me that the starter appears to be fine!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
91bmw Posts: 1i had my car parked in the cold for a few weeks. when i tried to start it it started up fine , then as i slipd it into reverse it stalled, and hasnt started since.

98bmw540i Posts: 1Hey, my 98' 540i has just started to act up on the start. I attempt to start the car and it frequently hesitates turning over. the engine starts then it dies. i let my buddy borrow my car last weekend and he found a way to bypass it. by turning the key of then on fast. when i do this the car stays on without puttering out. This leads me to believe its electrical. Can anyone help me with this situation?
monica53 Posts: 1A friend of mine has a 1999 Black color BMW 5-series diesel model, which i am interested in purchasing.The car is in very nice condition both from the interior and the exterior, But the engine sounds very rough and in fact pretty loud, the power delivery is smooth, the automatic transmission gears engage very neatly, the only thing that bothers me is the loud and rough sound of the engine, and yes the car starts instantly, in fact there is actually no disturbing noises from any of the moving parts, is there a problem with the engine or is it natural for a diesel engine to be so rough sounding.
egbedokun Posts: 1am just getting on this blog and i feel comfortable that my problem will be solved.
I have a 5.25i BMW, 1989 model. The car started to give some problems some months ago. The moment the ignition is turned on, the rev will be going up and down and will be dwindling between 200 and 700. after about a minute of doing that, it will switch itself off. Atimes when i'm in motion and i suddenly apply clutch and brake, it will also go off, in the same vein going on very rough raod could be very tough, the car will always go off. My elecrician had checked the Air flow meter, Air valve and could not locate where the problem is. The funny thing is that if the rev is increased to about 800 now, before long it will come back to about 300 or 400 by itself. Pls is there any serious problem that i must deal with here?
kaniela Posts: 1hey, i now its been a while but i have a 99 528i that i just picked up and the ignition is doing the same thing and yours.

Who killed the mosaic girl? As Lord Chamberlain, John spends his days counseling Emperor Justinian while passing the small hours of night in conversation with the solemn-eyed little girl depicted in a mosaic on his study wall. He never expected to meet her in a public square or afterwards find her red-dyed corpse in a subterranean cistern. Had the mysterious woman truly been the model for the mosaic years before as she claimed? Who was she? Why had she sought John out? Who wanted her dead -- and why?
Painting an enticing picture of sixth-century Byzantium, Reed and Mayer ably evoke court intrigue and the conflict of religious beliefs in the Christian capital of Constantinople through the eyes of sleuth John the Eunuch, lord chamberlain to Emperor Justinian.
"[An] engrossing seventh mystery set in sixth-century Constantinople .... Once again convincing historical detail and strong characterization help drive a riveting plot." - Publishers Weekly.
"Starred Review. The story is fast paced, the tensions between characters well portrayed; the ending leaves the reader clamoring for more." - Library Journal.
"Meanders from brothels to copper markets to public baths and poetry readings, each rife with all the gossip, rumor, deceit and lewdness you'd expect from one of the Lord Chamberlain's cases." - Kirkus Reviews.

Enjoyable historical mystery
This book brings us a Byzantine era mystery. The Lord Chamberlain is approached by a woman claiming to be the child pictured in a mosaic in his home. An attempt to find out more from the mysterious woman lands him in the middle of a murder. As he looks into the murder he is drawn into the segment of Constantinople society where those aristocrats exiled from court live with prostitutes, actors, artists, beggars live and ply their trades.
I enjoyed the novel, although the movement of the story would slow down several times in the middle of the book. I also would have trouble with the jumps in perspective from John the Chamberlain to Anatolius, his lawyer friend who aids him in the investigation. The move to the climax however is a nice plot twist and unexpected. Overall, an enjoyable read when one desires to leave the grimy modern day mystery to one in the past.
Rated of 5
Wait for Eight
Seven for a Secret is an excellent addition to the series written by Mary Reed and Eric Mayer.After reading the previous six books, Lord Chamberlain John has become a friend along with his cast of characters. He is always involved in in intriguing mysteries. Now all I have to do is wait for eight!
Rated of 5
Seven For A Secret
The seventh installment in a historical mystery series, Seven For A Secret was definitely readable without having read the six previous novels. However, some additional details into the characters of this seventh book would have been nice in a "Prologue" of sorts. The plot was very twisty and hard to predict at times (like any good mystery should be). At times the storyline felt far removed and reading got very slow, but it picked up towards the end of the book. Everything was tidied up nicely at the end, but much of it seemed to be coincidental. This book would be great for fans of the previous 6 books of this series, but it dragged a little for someone who isn't familiar with the time and storyline.

The historical details proved to be the most compelling part, but I did not actually care enough about the characters or the plot to strongly recommend this book. I most likely would have started another book and let this one gather dust except for the need to write a review.

Historical mystery with an unusual setting
When I requested this book to review, I didn't realize it was part of a mystery series. I think it would have been very helpful to have read the other books in the series first because there isn't much explanation of the characters or background story that you often find in other mystery series. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the book. Despite its early middle ages setting (around the middle 500s), the story and characters felt modern. I mean that in the best possible way - the characters were believeable and inhabited their setting naturally; there weren't historical details thrown in for the sole purpose of showing off how much research the authors had done. I got caught up in the story and felt transported to that time period. The mystery was tied up neatly at the end, thankfully, because it seemed a little incoherent along the way - the pieces didn't fit together for me until almost the very end of the book. On the plus side, it kept me guessing! I liked the character of Anatolius. I will likely go back to read the other books in the series.
Rated of 5
Seven for a Secret was somewhat of a disappointing read. The time period of the story is full of possibilities and the authors did a good job of imagery with the daily life of Constantinople. My problem was that I could not become engaged with the characters because it felt like I was joining the story late in the game. I realize that this is the seventh in a series and I have not read any of the previous volumes. However, it would have been helpful to have a short synopsis of what has gone before. What events led John to become a eunuch and the Lord Chamberlain, what is his relationship with Cornelia, why is the city so unsafe? Most continuing series work the back-story of the returning characters into each volume, for the benefit of the new reader and to remind returning readers.
The story itself has several intriguing elements but overall it just felt like the authors were rushing to the conclusion. There were too many coincidences, little follow though on events, and an anti-climatic ending.
Overall, I would have a difficult time recommending the book to anyone except dedicated followers of the series.
The husband and wife team of Mary Reed and Eric Mayer began writing together in 1992. After publishing several short stories in anthologies and in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, One For Sorrow, their first full length novel about John, Lord Chamberlain to Emperor Justinian I, appeared in 1999. They were honored with the 2005 Glyph Award for Best Book Series. The novels have been nominated for both the IPPY Best Mystery Award and the Bruce Alexander Historical Mystery Award. In 2003 the American Library Association's Booklist Magazine named the John the Eunuch novels as one of its four Best Little Known Series.

Chevrolet TrailBlazer Electrical Problems
Yours too?....And I thought I was the only TB owner who had the problem with my front (driver side) speaker not working. People probably think were nuts, but its true! The speaker(s) only come on when the temperature inside the vehicle gets extremely hot.(over 90 degrees) or in winter when it gets extremely cold. in Texas that would be 40 degrees..hahaha!
Like you I'd be anxious to know if other 2002 TB owners have this same speaker problem.
greyuser Posts: 1I have a 2006 Trailblazer EXT LT and over the weekend, the Engine light came on. It was running fine and then all of a sudden the light came on and the car started to run a little rough. I called OnStar for the code and it came back as a P0300.
I took it in to my mechanic who had the following to say:
No compression in Number 4 Cylinder..
Check engine misfire in number 4 cylinder..
Pulled it and there was oil.. contaminated with oil and carbon build up.
Number 4 spark plug wire is shorted out.
No oil was showing on dipstick. Only 2 quarts of oil came out of it.
No leaks.
Only minor leak from oil pan. No other external leaks. So there's a question as to where the oil is going.
Ticking noise coming from engine.
The recommendation was to Pull Cylinder heads - take to machine tests to have them pressured
tested and certified.
The first repair would be $2345 and would include:
Head Gasket Set
Head Bolt $50/set
Oil Filter
And spark plug
If this doesn't repair the problem and oil is getting past the rings it could be an engine re-build which would be about $3100 for Labor and $4000 for the rebuild (Factory Longboard?) The car has 107,000 miles on it.
So.. if its the worst case and I have to have the engine re-built and adding on the first repair, it would be a total of about $9000 -$1000.. which is on top of a repair I had a few months ago for a Throttle Body Replacement.
I admittedly know nothing about cars and some people are telling me that the amounts being charged by my mechanic are outrageous and they're taking advantage of me. Being that I don't know much about cars, I don't know if this is true or not. I've used them for over 10 years and in the past they didn't recommend work that another mechanic did, so I thought they were trustworthy.
Does anyone have any advice? I just really want to know if the pricing sounds fair or if they're ripping me off. And I just don't know if $10,000 is worth keeping the car or if I should just get rid of it. Any advice would be great.
staceyrowand Posts: 1I have had Chevy Trailblazer problems from day one also. Its pretty sad when you can call a CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT and tell them you have a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer and they can tell you what you are experiencing before you tell them!! The fuel gauge had to be fixed and we only get $138 for reimbursement? Really because while it was there they also had to replace the computer because the car would keep shutting off which everything together cost $1900. WTH well after getting it home the engine light came on again (BIG SURPRISE) I took it back to a CHEVY dealer and they assured me it was okay that it was a common problem with all trailblazers. (Something about there is condensation and until Chevy finds a way to fix it then it will keep happening unless I want to put a lot more money in it. Eventually there may be a recall!) They didnt even seem to want to fix it. Well Guess what, the air conditioner has quit working, and when driving the vechile it sounds like the transmission or something is going to fall out. I have three small children and will not even let them in this car, also my husband will not either (Pretty sad huh?) When I experienced the first problem, second problem I called Chevy inquiring about the lemon law. I was told that no other trailblazers have any issue. Seriously because I have almost what the vechile (what I bought it for, I dont want to say what its worth because I wouldnt pay $5.00 for this vechile again or any CHEVY) in it in parts and labor. Seems I am not the only customer that is expereincing the same issues! I think we as Chevy customers should do something to get back what we deserve. Does anyone know how to go about this? Very interested. Seems like this vechile is like clock work every three months it is in the garage. And I do mean EVERY THREE MONTHS!
frzdawn Posts: 15i understand what you mean i have a chevy 04 and since i had this car it has had many problems at one time i did take it in for a oil change and i was there for hours because the computer died i have replaced almost every part in this truck will never get another whole truck should be recalled ..... :sick:
hi we are having the same exact issue the car will be fine and bam it will just shut off everything will be off the radio everything .. we took it to a machanic and they said they had no idea what was wrong .. do you have an idea ? this is super dangerous especially since we have a newborn baby in the car and this has happened on the freeway at full speed way scary .. what did they say was wrong and is it covered by chevy dealership ? please let me know ... email@example.com
Christiana1223 (and staceyrowand),

Please email us your name/username, contact information, the last 8 digits in your VIN, and your involved dealership.
Thank you,
GM Customer Service
tblazer2 Posts: 1I have a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer. When I am driving the headlights just shut off. It is very scarry because I have a newborn and a 2 year old in the car with me. Chevy should recall this vehicle before anyone gets killed. Also the gas guague show Empty all the time even when it is completly full. And I just spent $800 to have a water pump changed. This is a money pit, I was raised in a GM family and am sorry I ever bought this car. I bought it new and have been the only owner and taken very good care of it.
Yes indeed. A very common problem with many TB's. Low beam all of sudden just decide to quit and your left in the dark (sorry for the pun).
High Beams will work as a backup, but it is a serious issue. I can go months without any headlight problems then out of the clear blue, whamo!
Past threads say to replace a couple of fuses. Sorry about your other problems.
Love my 02 TB which I've had for 10 years and have put on 312,000 miles.
Knock on wood she runs and looks great. With some repairs required because of the age of the vehicle, I change all fluids on a regular basis and wax her to death.
fj4072 Posts: 29The headlight problem is actually a relay problem, it's a $40 part 15 seconds to replace. The gas gauge is either the little tiny stepper motor on the back of it or it's your ignition switch, not the one the key goes into. Both are very inexpensive and easy to replace. $800 for a waterpump? Wow, find a new mechanic, that's wayyyyy too much.
yes the entire car shuts off on us mid drive and we just replaced the water pump as well .. and the dealership acts like they have no clue what im talking about they want 80 just to diagnose it .. what the heck how is it my fault that the parts are faulty they should be paying us for putting us and our families at risk .. it's like another tayota issue
I see that you're already getting some great feedback from other posters. If we can be of any service (looking into warranty/recall information, or helping work with a dealership towards resolving a concern), please don't hesitate to get in contact via email.

cjbellville Posts: 1I have a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. I have been having problems with my driver side running light for the last 6 months or so. I get it fixed and it always dies out after two weeks. I want you to know this so you will understand there is a wiring issue. Yesterday while I was at a light, I turned the engine off, as I do when my reduce power light comes on, to reset it, I can not remember if I put it in park first, I do this this turning the engine off because of the fan assembly causing the reduce engine power to kick in and turning the car off usually re-sets it. Well unfortunately when I went to re-start the car, nothing, couldn't even turn the key, move my gear-shift, locked completely. A man stopped to help me jump my car, nothing, he then hooked the red jumper to the fuse box, I got power back again, battery gauge listed fine, key would turn, but the engine would not start, I got the clicking, and hum of fuel pump just would not turn over engine, when he removed the cable, locked again, nothing, I had to get the car towed, and I have no idea what to do now. The battery is less than 8 months old, replaced fuel pump less than a year ago, trannie has been replaced 2years ago, if that helps. I did get a blown fuse in the back seat fuse box the night before, the fuse sparked (Rear fog)when I tried to replace it so I just left it blank. Any suggestions would help I have spent all day researching, I can't afford too much, just got laid off, and lost my place, I am staying at a remote 2nd house of a friend, my car is all I got, please help, thanks!
If the low beams are inop try swapping the relays for the cooling fan into the low beam circuit. I have found that this is a common issue on GM's that use the same system as your trailblazer does. If you look under the hood on driver side of engine compartment you will ssee te fuse block. I belive its relay #45 that controls the cooling fan and relay #46 that controls the daytime running light module. Swap these to relays if the lights come on you know its the relay thats faulty. Keep in mind that you DO NOT want to leave the relays swaped becuase now your cooling fan will not work and engine couls over heat.
nanajana Posts: 1When I have the hatch door open on my 2003 TB, I hear a constant clicking noise. This has been occurring for a few weeks, and lately I have intermittent electrical problems such as the rear wipers not working, and radio shuts off, windows do not operate, and all dash lights go on. Any one else experience this?
ck27 Posts: 1I have a 02 TB I travel in it for a living I have 225a thousand right now to the guy with the head light problem that keeps blowing bulbs go under your hood open your relay fuse panel you will see four Crome bolts make sure they are tire if you dont it just gets worse under that box is your wire harness the bolts is what keeps it tight if you dont fix it your trailblazer could do what mine was all my wire harnesses came loose I started replacing fuel pump light it was very crazy because if you take a test light to the box you have power but what you dont relize is that off the battery it goes right to fuse panel so you always have hot power on box anyways just tightened up your box I hope I help you out
alessandra1 Posts: 1Anyone aware of any electrical problems with the 2006 chevy trailblazer? I just replaced the battery 3 weeks ago because it would not start/crank/anything. This morning... same thing again! So frustrating. It ran without any problems yesterday, and all of the sudden, nothing. I can't have a non-reliable car... next time this happens, I'm selling it and buying a German car like I should have... all along...

Legal Ethics
Lawyer Jailed for Extorting Wife's Lovers
Posted Jun 5, 2007 7:25 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Sentenced this week to five years in prison for extorting money from men who had affairs with his wife, a Texas attorney was unrepentent. "It is incredible to me after I sought protection from the law that ... I face sentencing without having committed a crime," Ted H. Roberts, 50, told a San Antonio judge, calling his trial a "pretense of due process."
Evidence introduced at his March trial showed that he "squeezed $155,000 from an accountant, a lawyer and two executives," by threatening lawsuits that would have informed their families of their philandering, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Not all of this conduct resulted in criminal convictions, however. A teacher also claimed in the sentencing phase that Roberts offered her free representation if she told him "deep, dark" sexual secrets about well-to-do residents.
In remarks from the bench, District Judge Sid Harle described the prosecution as, at heart, "a simple theft case" -- albeit one whose victims were less than sympathetic. He indicated he might change Roberts' sentence to probation, if the attorney donated the money he extorted to charity, the newspaper reports.
Felony convictions, of course, typically trigger attorney discipline for lawyers, the newspaper notes, and "I don't understand why lawyers take a chance" by filing dubious or risky lawsuits, Harle says. He offered this advice to the other attorneys in the courtroom: "If there's any question, walk away from it."

Luling or Lockhart?
Ok, everyone put on your seatbelts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride
re: rexster314
Well, not from me, and I suspect my view is pretty typical, which is why nobody has answered.
And that is that there is no definitive answer.
With very few exceptions (such as time constraints), every time I visit one of these two towns, I also visit the other.
So which is the best?
Answer: you never know until you get there.
Inspired by this thread I got in my car this morning and made my first trip down to luling and lockhart hoping to be able to give you an answer. The only thing I can say for sure is that there is good BBQ in both these places and you cant go wrong with either!
I had the added bonus of showing up during some kind of watermelon festival in luling and got back to austin with a trunk full of different varieties of melons :)
re: twyst
re: twyst
Thank you twyst and Jaymes. I will be in San Antonio and shuttling hubby and a friend to Austin so I will have three days to roam around and check out BBQ joints. I guess I will go to both places then! If you have any recs for specific items at each of the places, I'd love to know!
re: dimsumgirl
IIRC, Black's in Lockhart is the only one of the 3 major places in that burg who serves chicken; this was a necessity for non-red-meat-eating dining companion. Also according to memory, those other establishments may not serve barbeque sauce, the idea being that the meat should stand on its own. You can't really go wrong anywhere down that road, as everyone else has noted. We enjoyed looking at all the authentic memorabilia (pictures of the high school football teams dating back to the 1920s) on the walls of Black's. It's like a trip back in time, complemented by the striking historic courthouse nearby.
re: dimsumgirl
dimsumgirl, I like the prime rib at Smitty's, and I can't go past Luling without getting the ribs at City Market. The good thing about these places is everything is served by the pound, so samples of many dishes are possible. Being the hillbillies we are from pancake flat Houston, we always pack a toaster oven for leftovers in our San Antonio hotel room.
re: James Cristinian
re: SAhomecooking
Pretty much every hotel has a minifridge and a microwave, but the microwave just doesn't re-heat like a toaster oven. We also pack aluminum foil, ziploc baggies, and salt and pepper. We overorder because we like to sample different foods at new places and enjoy snacks from the leftovers.

Submitted report
The very first amendment to our Constitution of the United States of America is Amendment No. 1 — "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
The Constitution guarantees the city of McAlester the right to place a statuette of a cowboy on a street light arm located at South Main Street and Choctaw Avenue. It's one of the freedoms we have. There is no law said they have to, or no law that states they can't.
There is also no law for or against placing one on the corner of Third Street and Choctaw Avenue of a soldier bowing in respect and honor before the flag of the United States of America and the Republic for which it stands. That's one of the freedoms he represents and fights for.
Congress or the city "shall" make no law that demands a cross be placed on a street sign or prohibits the free exercise thereof.
The point being made is the poles belong to the city. They are maintained by the city. They are on city property. Thus, the city can do with them as they please. It does not imply the city is endorsing religion, or anything in particular. It's another freedom guaranteed by the Constitution.
The ACLU may bluff, and they can assemble, they can protest. That's also a freedom we have. But none of the 27 amendments say they can rule.
This is just my observation. Ask yourself what you believe God's observation may be.

Wiest, Matthew (2007). The Effects of Acute Exercise on a Dominant-Submissive Relationship in Rats.
Mentor: Dr. Anne Marie Brady
A dominant submissive relationship (DSR) was established by pairing animals in the straight runway tube task (SRTT) and measuring their behavior for two weeks. Animals were exercised over a ten day testing period, during which DSR behavior was measured. After the treatment period, behavior was measured during social interaction and compared to before the animals were exercised. We were able to successfully establish a DSR by using the SRTT. Non-exercised pairs were measured for c-Fos and the DSR established in the SRTT was determined to differentially activate the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and not the amygdala between dominant and submissive animals. Even though some of the behaviors measured during social interaction were influenced by exercise, dominance behavior was not significantly altered by exercise during the SRTT or social interaction.

A children's film that delights young and old generations alike, Hugo weaves together the themes of loss, love, meaning and purpose. Great storytelling coupled with 3D technology makes this film a true wonder.
Home Theater Forum's Neil Middlemiss reviewed the Blu-ray release and had these thoughts:
With deep blacks, vibrant golds and lighter hues amongst the shadowy world behind the train station walls, the sparkling view of Paris at night, and the authentic look and feel of 1930's France, Hugo is glorious on Blu-ray.
The bustle of the busy train station, with footsteps, the murmur of traveler's conversations and the echoes produced in the cavernous building come alive throughout the English DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 channel option.

Put your goggles on! If you don't, you might end up with one of these eye injuries. I guess you could argue that eye injuries can happen when you're not working and therefore not expecting to get a roofing nail in your sclera, but let's be honest: most eye injuries happen when you're playing with power tools.
So the next time you're mowing the lawn and feel that stinging pain from the mower spitting Junior's long lost army man into your baby blues, think about how cheap those safety glasses were next to the checkout counter at the hardware store. You can pick up a pair on your way home from the ER.
Eye Abrasion
After the dust bag on the radial arm saw explodes and sends sawdust in your face like some Soupy Sales sight gag, don't rub your eyes! Of course, you already did that before you looked this up, which is why it hurts so bad. Now be quiet so your kid can read this to you since everything is so blurry.
Flushing Eyes
In case you're reading this before you break the sawdust bag in your eyes (you really should empty that bag), here's the right way to rid yourself of wood chunks, sand, oil squirted accidentally from the bottle and various ethyl methyl yucky stuff. Even if it only feels like you did a number on one eye, rinse the other one, too.
Impaled Object in the Eye
Your mother told you not to run with that pencil. I'm telling you, Mom's always right. Don't pull it out and follow the link for the rest.
Black Eye
Next time, raise the garage door all the way up and watch where you're going. Go get an ice pack and a cold drink. I think you need a break.
