2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT1 Review
by coachscott40 |
"Almost perfect ride."
Fun, fairly economical car. Easy to drive and plenty of room. White is the way to go on color. These seem to hold their value. Wish they still made them. It would be hard to find a replacement for this great little vehicle.

Michigan Governor Snyder signs bill eliminating some "driver responsibility" fees
By Rick Pluta
Governor Rick Snyder has signed bills to eliminate the fees charged to drivers convicted of driving without a license or insurance.
The $150 or $200 fees had to paid for two years on top of any other fines assessed for the infractions.
Critics say the fees were not fair, and encouraged some people to continue driving without a license or mandatory insurance coverage.
The fees generated somewhere between $8 and $13 million a year to help balance the state budget.
There is a movement in the Legislature to eliminate driver responsibility fees for some more-serious offenses, such as drunk driving, but it would cost the state money it cannot replace.

I cannot wear post back earrings and have long wished BN would offer "make your own" diamond earrings in this style. I even sent them a picture of this exact style almost 6 years ago in the hopes that they would offer them! They are great. The BN diamonds are beautiful (just like the BN solitaire I have) but the earrings themselves could be a little more substantial. I don't have any worries about losing the diamonds though. I've received many compliments and love wearing them every day! The style is so much nicer than the commonly found "euro wire" diamond earrings which seemed to be the only alternative until now! Get these, you'll love them.

text: Latest Post: Started By: Rank: Category Thankfully, the anti-science propaganda campaign surrounding man-made climate change seems to have lost some of its effect.Are you seeing storm clouds on the horizon? Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy. Member CommentsmythravereNo you are just bringing your political games into the discussion. After all anyone who knows anything climate science knows for a fact that local weather is no indication of anything other than the local weather. It has little to do with long term climate tendencies. Now when you average local weather patterns over long periods of time then you can get an idea of how the climate is behaving. You mentioning record low temps brings what to this issue? Other than playing political games. Posted 227 days ago. TiredofitSo let me get this straight, if its cooler, that means nothing, but if its hotter, that is evidence of global warming? Do I have it? Posted 227 days ago. TiredofitLets tax carbon to pay for further research, gee why would the researchers want that? Posted 227 days ago. TiredofitIll bet if the record temps were high instead of low, you warmists would be touting your socialists agenda Posted 227 days ago. mythravereMethane Hydrate eruptions have happened in the past. Methane Hydrate eruptions may have lead to loss of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle. Plus I remember a gas release of some sort(not sure if hydrate was the cause)took down a drilling rig. Oh and part of the continental shelf in the north Atlantic has curious "holes" in it that could have been caused by methane hydrate eruptions. The article Kunect links to takes issue with climate change making it likely for methane hydrate eruptions. Its not known if it will for sure and historically there is no records in scientific findings that shows high temperatures caused hydrate eruptions in the past. Posted 227 days ago.

Posted 227 days ago. Kendall78You can't judge climate change by how cold or hot any given day or week is around your local area. You have to look at the big picture. Climate change is a global phenomenon that finds its cause also at a global level. Posted 227 days ago. mythravereGuess we all know where the cold went then since the north pole had a melt water lake/pond around it this past week! Bet you didn't hear about that did you? And if you did. Why....no mention of it?:) Posted 227 days ago. TiredofitTomorrow night we may break a temperature record dating back to 1925; oh its for record COLD. Posted 229 days ago. AaronS*******en.wikiarquitectura****/images/c/c9/Brooklyn_Bridge_1.jpg Posted 234 days ago. AaronSI'm curious Harry, I've got the title to this bridge I'm thinking of selling...I'm curious, would you be interested??? Posted 235 days ago. harryandersonAnd, AaronS, you wrote, "The decision to allow such a comment was not made lightly, included many individuals in many different roles and included the cost of paying for carbon emissions via a carbon tax versus paying for those same emissions in the form of an EPA fine or penalty." By what authority do you claim to know so much about the decision-making processes of Exxon-Mobile and Shell? Are you an executive of either corporation? One could just as easily say that Exxon Mobil and Shell made their statements because their own scientists are convinced that greenhouse gas emissions are harmful. Of course, I'm not privy to their decision-making, so I can't say for sure. Can you? Posted 235 days ago. harryanderson"…according to the sources you cited, certain high level executives have publicly stated a belief in climate change. This belief doesn't come only from "certain high level executives." The corporations state them. Note that the statement from Shell comes from their official website, and no individual is mentioned as the source. And read again the quote in Reuters. It says, "Exxon Mobil (not Tillerson)…has acknowledged that human-made emissions have contributed to altering the planet's climate." Furthermore, Exxon-Mobile's web site contains this statement: "Rising greenhouse gas emissions pose significant risks to society and ecosystems." ww w.exxonmobil.c om/Corporate/safety_climate.aspx Exxon's statement, like Shell's, cites neither Tillerson nor any other high level executive. It's from the company. Posted 235 days ago. AaronSNo Harry, according to the sources you cited, certain high level executives have publicly stated a belief in climate change. Whether they do or not is of little relevance as one person, even the President and/or CEO has the authority to make such bold, public statements on behalf of the corporation. The decision to allow such a comment was not made lightly, included many individuals in many different roles and included the cost of paying for carbon emissions via a carbon tax versus paying for those same emissions in the form of an EPA fine or penalty. Regardless of what one individual believes about climate change and exactly what or who is responsible took a back seat to the bottom line in all three corporations. Posted 235 days ago. harryandersonAaronS wrote, "This is not about whether Shell, Exxon, or Appalachian Power suddenly believes in climate change." According to the sources I cited previously, Shell and Exxon certainly do believe that CO2 emissions cause climate change. In order to refresh everybody's memory, I'll repost excerpts from the two quotes I posted before. From Shell's website: "At the same time CO2 emissions must be reduced to avoid serious climate change." And as to Exxon, as reported by Reuters: "Exxon Mobil, once one of the staunchest critics of climate change research, has acknowledged under Tillerson's leadership that human-made emissions have contributed to altering the planet's climate." They know that you don't dig your corner office for long when you dig a quicksand foundation under it. Posted 238 days ago. Post a Comment |

"Tower Cheetah helping me guard my camp in Afghanistan. He was probably the most spoiled cat in the camp. This tower had around a platoon of 40 or so guys that rotated through when on guard duty and keep him company," said Bhas via reddit.
"The camp was a Canadian camp that stationed a company plus sized group." Tower Cheetah made his home there. "He definitely helped pass the time and always cuddled up to you at night. He also personally defended the tower and attacked a camel spider that was invading our tower," he added.
They named him Tower Cheetah.
"He helped me guard his tower/camp/his home for most of the year."
The tower is his.
"Absorbing the heat from the heater in front."
"He definitely helped pass the time and always cuddled up to you at night."

The kittens think Bentley is their dad and are very attached to him. Bentley on the other hand is very protective of his kittens and always has so much patience for them. It's beautiful to see how much love they have for one another.
This orphan kitten and his siblings have found a new furry dad – Bentley the dog.
Bentley is a certified therapy dog and a rescue himself. He takes to the kittens like his own.
The kittens are very attached to their canine buddy.

Orphan Kittens Adopted By Therapy Dog, originally appeard on LoveMeow.com]]>Goldi was a loving fixture at the office and got along well with everyone she came across. She gave the soldiers comfort and a sense of home. They knew they had to get her out of the country to a place where she would be safe and loved.
After Goldi's story was posted on the web, many generous donations quickly trickled in. With the help from these wonderful donors, Nowzad, a rescue group that is dedicated to saving stray animals in Afghanistan, was able to arrange a trip to send Goldi to her home in the US.
Just recently Goldi moved into her new home in Arkansas and is now one happy and contented kitty who is very loved and spoiled rotten by her humans.
Goldi the stray became family and a loving fixture to the US soldiers deployed in an area of Afghanistan.
She came into their office and laid herself down in a container as if it was where she belonged. She gave the soldiers comfort and a sense of home. They knew they had to get her out of the country to a place where she would be safe and loved.
Just recently Goldi moved into her new home in Arkansas.
This is Goldi saying "Thank you" to her human.
Stray Cat Rescued In Afghanistan Finds Home In The US, originally appeard on LoveMeow.com]]>The New Hanover Sheriff's Office Animal Services Unit wrote via Facebook: "This intense fellow is looking to find his forever family! We're not sure he's really thrilled with us at the moment because when he came to us he was really matted so we had to shave off his fur. Once his fur grows back, we think he'll be feeling more like the Persian royalty he knows he is! This great cat is 2 years old and was found as a stray. He's got a loving personality."
Once the photo was posted on Facebook, many people became interested in adopting this striking looking kitty.
Finally on March 4, the cat was adopted. "We're so happy he has found a loving home," the shelter said.
A Persian stray cat with a grumpy face was found wandering streets in North Carolina.
The fierce looking kitty is called Captain Jack who seems to have a permanently angry face.
Finally on March 4, the cat was adopted.
"I am adopted! This is my happy face!"

Photocopied signs cover Central Austin, warning residents of a killer on the loose and, as police follow up on tips to find Esme Barrera's murderer, one man is doing what he can to arm a vulnerable community.
James Shaw sells self defense products on his website ResistAttack.com. On Sunday, he and his wife ventured to Waterloo Records in Downtown Austin, the former workplace of Barrera, and handed out free canisters of pepper spray.
It's something that he's done for months now. The idea to arm young women first sparked in Shaw's mind when his 17-year-old daughter first started making college visits.
"We're just trying to spread the mission as far as we can," Shaw said. "We want to try to give every woman in America pepper spray."
Since August 1, he says he's handed out more than 800 free canisters of pepper spray. This week, he's been hitting the streets in Central Austin, making sure everyone in the Heritage Neighborhood, where Barrera lived and was killed, has protection.
"It is generally a safe town but when things like this happen people really start to focus, 'Should I be walking on my own at dark?'," Shaw said. "People really need to be walking together and staying with their friends."
Barrera former supervisor, Martin Coulter, said that he hopes people don't lose sight of Barrera's magnetic personality.
"I just hope people remember her as the sweetheart she really was and keep her memory alive," Coulter, Manager at Waterloo Records, said. "Time is the healer on this one."
Two other women were attacked in the same area on the night of Barrera's killing. Anyone who met with Barerra on the night of her death or who could have any information is strongly urged to contact police at (512) 477-3588.

The Wit and Wisdom of Don Imus
A guide for Washington's power crowd.
"The guy from F-Troop, Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell." (This is a reference to the zany Indian characters on the 1960s TV sitcom F-Troop. They had names like "Roaring Chicken," "Crazy Cat," and "Chief Wild Eagle.")
On Japanese:
"Old Kabuki's in a coma and the market's going up. […] How old is the boy? The battery's running down on that boy." (Reference to Japanese Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, who died the following week.)
On gays:
"I didn't know that Allan Bloom was coming in from the back end." (The homosexuality of the author of The Closing of the American Mind became widely known when Saul Bellow published Ravelstein, a novel whose protagonist was based on Bloom, who by then was deceased.)
"The enormously attractive [NBC political correspondent] Chip Reid, I can say without being accused of being some limp-wristed 'mo."
On the handicapped:
"Janet Reno's having a press conference. Ms. Reno, of course, has Parkinson's disease, has a noticeable tremor. […] I don't know how she gets that lipstick on (laughter) looking like a rodeo clown."
Every one of these statements came directly out of Imus' mouth on his program. That's striking because Imus usually leaves it to other show regulars (especially McGuirk, the aforementioned point man on "nigger" jokes) to say the most offensive stuff, with Imus feeding them straight lines. It's safer that way.

Start with your message and build from there
As government organizations continue to slash spending and cut budgets, it gets harder and more imperative to stand out and clearly communicate how you help your customer meet their mission while reducing costs.
Public relations and marketing initiatives can help you make sure your prospects hear you, see you, and understand why they need you. Here are five tips to consider that can help you revitalize your image this year.
1. Fine tune your message to resonate with 2013 priorities. Think strategically and focus on how you help your customers solve real problems.
2. Deliver this message consistently through all of your materials. Maybe it's time for a new brochure or marketing materials, a website facelift, a new blog page from your executives, a new tag line or mission statement. Make sure your message is relevant and your communication educates your audience on how you can help them meet their very tough and very real challenges of today.
3. If you don't have consistent public relations efforts in place, that should be a priority for 2013. Tell your story through the publications your customers read and trust. Educate them on how you can help solve their problems. Provide examples of success stories in the government marketplace. This is an excellent tool to establish your executives as thought leaders in their area of expertise, as well.
4. Initiate PR and marketing campaigns with the publications and events that are most relevant for your customers, to communicate your message and integrate your brand with a trusted resource. Stay true to your trusted publications that you've used in the past, but branch out in search of new publications and new opportunities for your clients that align with their mission and their needs.
5. Be present. Attend networking events, visit customers; face-to-face interaction is really important in these challenging times. Your customers need to know you and know they can trust you. Virtual interaction is not enough.

5 Ways to Make Your Lighting Shine, on a Dime!
by Kathy Wilson
Lamps are a part of most rooms, but are overlooked as sources of design. You can easily add detail and charm to any lamp, making it more of a custom accessory in your room. Here are 5 great ways to dress up your lamps, and let them shine, on a dime!
- Use a hole punch and punch holes all along the bottom of your lampshade, about one inch apart. Now weave a pretty ribbon in and out through the holes, creating a colorful edging to your lampshade. Other ideas include using leather cording, rustic twine, or silky embroidery thread to match your décor.
- If the base of your lamp is a blast from the past, but it still works well, recover the base. You can wrap it in fabric and tie around the neck with pretty cording, or decoupage the entire base with tissue paper, gift wrap, or brown paper. You can even use spray paint to give it a glossy sophisticated finish. Try a glass black for real impact or a bright white for a cottage look. If you are tired of the bright brass finish of your floor lamp, try the new metal finish spray paints in brushed nickel or hammered copper. Just be sure to tape off and protect the light socket, and take it outside to avoid fumes.
- Use household objects to create charm and style. Glue buttons to a shade for a country room, or pressed leave for a garden theme. A glue gun is essential here. You can pick one up in any craft aisle for a couple of dollars. Try bottle caps for a boy's sports room or even glittering stickers for your little princess. Leftover trim or fringe along the bottom edge dresses up any lampshade.
- Something as simple as changing the type of lightbulb you use can make a huge difference. Try a pink bulb. The warm light is very flattering and comforting. You can find them in the light bulb aisle of any store. For real drama, pick up an uplight from the home improvement center for about $10, and place it in a corner, behind a plant, or on top of an armoire for beautiful drama and shadows on the ceiling.
- If your lamp is too small for your table, you can give it more importance by adding height. Set it on some stacked books, or cover a sturdy cardboard box with some pretty fabric and use it as a base. Lamps do not have to match in a room. Look around other areas of your home and see if switching around some lighting may better fit your needs.
Don't overlook the importance of lighting in a room. It doesn't have to be boring, and it doesn't have to be expensive. A few quick details can "turn on the lightbulb" of creativity!

Trade deadline has passed
I have seen this in about 10 different threads. The Pats can not trade for anyone right now, the deadline has passed. Please stop posting we need to trade for a CB or deep threat now. It can not happen.
Mods: delete or move if not in the right place. |
Re: Trade deadline has past!
No this is the right place.
Re: Trade deadline has past!
It's hard to say something like a trade deadline a "past." You could say that trades have been made in the past at the deadline but since the "trade deadline" itself has no material existence, and thus no memory or possesses it's own history, it's non-sensible to confer the deadline a 'past.' Though you might say the trade deadline is in the past, though that's still a bit awkward.
Oh, did you mean that the trade deadline has passed? :rolleyes: |

24/7 Customer Support
For Whirlpool Bearing Assembly (lower) (Part Number: AP4008541)
Bob for Model Number mav408daww
Answer Bob, With a loud grinding noise you will first want to check the drain pump to make sure that it is not turning hard and that the bearings are not coming out of it. If this checks ok then you will want to replace the tub bearing W10219156.
Was this helpful?
1 Answer
Jack for Model Number mav2757aww
Answer Jack, Based on the information provided it sounds like the thrust bearing is faulty and would need to be replaced part number 12002213.
Jim for Model Number nav58805aww
Answer Hello Jim. Check and see if the belt is burnt into. If so, you will need to order and replace the tub seal W10219156 in the unit and the belt. It sounds like the bearing is bad.
Mark for Model Number MAV408DAWW
Answer Hello Mark. You need to remove the transmission from the outer tub to install the bearing. It installs from the bottom of the tub, not on the inside.
Bruce for Model Number Mav7455aww
Answer Bruce, It's most likely something else, like the thrust bearing assembly 12002213 if the cam or bearing is worn or distorted, and out of tolerance, the brake rotor will remain partially engaged and make a squeak noise in the agitate cycle. Also check the belt 22003483 for a worn or burnt spot, and the motor pulley for the same as well.
Sergio M. for Model Number mav408daww
Answer Hello Sergio, The pump 35-6780 requires no spanner wrench to replace. I believe a 5/16 inch socket and a 3/8 inch socket are needed in addition to the 5/16 for the drain hose clamp removals. Some of these may require a pair of pliers to remove the drain hoses from the pump, but I can't remember but a few that has the pinch type clamps on them. Most have the automotive style hose clamps on them which are much easier to work with. Be sure to unplug the unit before beginning!
Answer Hello Sergio, Most of the time when a complaint of the washer making a clicking during the units' operation, there is either a foreign object in the pump 35-6780 or the bearing in the pump has failed. There is a slight possibility of a nail or similar item in one of the holes in the inner tub that is rubbing on the inside of the outer tub, but this is remote. Most of the time, the pump replacement will cure the issue.
Richard F. for Model Number mav3757aww
Answer Hi Richard. This can be a few different issues. First remove the power. Then lift the top. Unclasp the top tub ring and use a flashlight to see if there is any balled up clothes stopping the unit from spin. If not then with the top lifted, remove the front panel. Then you lift the unit and support the tilted cabinet. Then rotate the lower pulley one way it will turn and allow the spin. In another direction it will use the clutch pulley to unlock the brake rotor part # 35-6714 to allow it to spin. If you notice the inside of the washer from all below the middle of the basket down has all dirty brown throw off it is a sign that the upper spin bearing under the tub /seal assy. has failed. It is part # W10219156. If there is no other tell tale sign, listen to the lower spin bearing for failure part # 12001562. Remove the belt. advance the timer to spin in any/all cycles and see if the timer and motor responds in all commands. If the belt part # 21352320 has broken , find out why it failed along w/if something got stuck int he pump part # 35-6780. Let us know what you find so we can supply you with more correct part #'s. Thank You.
Brian for Model Number mav7600aww
Answer Hi Brian. You might have a leak at the lower tub, by the spin bearing assembly.The tub seal/ bearing assembly is a 2-part kit. The tub seal assembly is 12001598. The bearing assembly is part # W10219156. When you un hook the belt , the tub should turn freely in one direction from turning the bottom clutch pulley. Thank- you.
Richard for Model Number mav7357
Answer Hello Richard. You will need to check the thrust bearing 12002213 and make sure it is releasing the brake properly. Turn the pulley by hand and make sure the brake raises up fully. If not, you will need to replace the thrust bearing 12002213. Hope this helps.

Found December 01, 2012 on
MLB Injury News:
Following their acquisition of center fielder Denard Span
from the Minnesota Twins, the Washington Nationals are "definitely shopping"
first baseman/outfielder Mike Morse, reports Jayson Stark of ESPN.
In the wake of Denard Span deal, #Nationals are "definitely shopping Mike Morse a little bit," says AL exec. Could deal Morse & sign LaRoche
— Jayson Stark (@jaysonst) November 30, 2012
Stark adds that if the Nationals are able to trade Morse
they could then target former first baseman Adam LaRoche via free agency.
Now that Washington has Span on board, they are able to
shift Bryce Harper to a corner outfield position. Rather than start Morse in
the other corner outfield spot or at first base, the team could look to trade
him to help fill other areas of need.
If the Nationals make Morse available he's certain to draw
interest. While he experienced a down season by his standards in 2012, he did
hit .303/.360/.550 with 36 doubles and 31 home runs in 2011. The 30-year-old
owns a career line of .295/.347/.492 over parts of eight years at the major
league level and is set to earn $6.75 million next season.

Mobile internet access is now mainstream, Pew research shows
Here's further proof why news organizations need a robust mobile strategy now: According to research published today by the Pew Internet and American Life Project (Mobile Access 2010) in the past year 40% of US cell phone users accessed the internet from their phones—and more than half of them do so daily. This is a sharp jump: last year, only 25% of cell users reported mobile internet access. Speaking of strategic considerations, where will your future audience be? A strong majority (65%) of cell users aged 18-29 reported using their phones for internet access. Not far behind, 40% of cell users aged 30-49 also are going online from their phones…
African Americans and Latinos continue to lead the charge on US mobile internet use, says Pew: "Cell phone ownership is higher among African-Americans and Latinos than among whites (87% vs. 80%) and minority cell phone owners take advantage of a much greater range of their phones' features… In total, 64% of African-Americans access the internet from a laptop or mobile phone, up from the 57% who did so at a similar point in 2009."
Another point with clear implications for how cell phones can bridge the mobile digital divide: This year, 46% of cell users earning $30,000 or less per year reported accessing the internet from their phones—up from 35% last year. Also, 20% of cell users report that their phone is their sole internet access tool. People with lower incomes tend not to buy fancy smartphones with costly data plans; they tend to use inexpensive feature phones with simple web browsers and limited/no ability to run apps. This is why lean mobile strategies (such as WAP sites, which I discussed yesterday) should be an important part of any news organization's online strategy.
Besides the mobile web, other internet-based functions are also becoming commonplace among cell phone users: 34% reported using e-mail from their phones this year (up from 25% last year), and 30% reported using mobile instant messaging (from 20% last year). These features, plus podcasting or streaming audio/video, call-in audio, and text/multimedia messaging also can be important parts of a robust mobile news strategy.

In every election, there should be fairness and equality. No bias should be made. We all need leaders who will win because they deserved to be and not because they needed to be. Early poll outcomes for Election 2010 might be off just a bit, due to a prejudice that http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/11/02/cell-phone-effect-election-2010/"title="Exactly what the cell phone effect signifies to Election 2010" ]Pew Research[/url] has dubbed the cell phone effect. As the NY Times puts it, about a quarter of American adults use mobile phones exclusively. As many poll individuals don't call cell phones, Pew believes that the results can be skewed by as many as four points.

Instant gratification. That's the solution to winning customers in a marketplace saturated with competition, says Robert Bloom in his book The New Experts (Greenleaf Book Group Press, 2010; $18.95 hardcover). In a time when wireless Internet and mobile apps make it quicker and easier for consumers to compare options and make informed purchasing decisions, Bloom says the key to standing out in the marketplace (and the webosphere) is satisfying the needs of these "new experts" at four stages, giving them what they want, when they want it.
- First impressions matter. Dubbed the "Now-or-Never Moment" by Bloom, this stage encompasses the first interaction between your company, your product, and the consumer. Albeit brief—such as the amount of time it takes someone to look at your website—this stage is critical in positioning your product as a viable option.
- Follow through. Sales fall through far too often during the intensive periods of consideration, negotiation, and closing. Bloom advises smart engagement with customers throughout the grey zones of pending purchases, or the "Make-or-Break" moments, and making sure their needs are met. Continue reading »

Governors Island was
for many years a military installation. These images of military
saints are on the left side of the Chapel's reredos.
Whoever put the
labels beneath the images got them confused. The first saint on
the left, with his elaborate armor and dragon, is undoubtedly St.
George, not St. Martin of Tours, who is in the middle image with the
poor man to whom he gave the half-cloak. The saint on the right
is indeed St. Cornelius.

While it's only been two weeks since Nicole Johnson-Reece became the new executive director of the Multicultural Affairs Congress, she regards the position as an ideal fit.
She brings a well-rounded background in the areas of finance, multicultural marketing and diversity to her new role.
"This was an opportunity to take advantage of all of those experiences, what I personally love, what I'm naturally good at and the unique diversity of my career experience," said Johnson-Reece.
"It's wonderful when you can align your talents and interests and have a position like this come along that is such a phenomenal match for who I am and what I enjoy."
She is charged with working with the Philadelphia Convention and Bureau's team to promote the city to a multicultural client base that includes religious organizations, family reunions, national and regional associations, fraternal organizations, and professional and trade associations. Johnson-Reece will also work with the hospitality community to encourage business, employment and training opportunities for multicultural professionals within Philadelphia's tourism and hospitality sector.
"MAC is an important differentiator for Philadelphia and the convention and visitors bureau, so Nicole's role is a key one, within the organization as well as in the community and with our customers," Jack Ferguson, president and CEO, PCVB said in a release.
Johnson-Reece has joined MAC at a time when the organization is marking its 25th anniversary. She noted that MAC is well recognized in the city amongst the local and regional hospitality industry for its contributions in bringing visitors to the city. She wants to woo more international business to the city by tapping the markets of Africa, China, India and South America, especially the areas of Brazil and Chile.
She also aspires to bring a signature cultural event to the city such as a major concert or film festival that will ultimately draw visitors from outside the Philadelphia region.
"Ultimately as a bureau is to put heads in beds and fill hotel rooms, primarily with trade shows and conventions but also conferences and meetings, but there is also the opportunity to do that through events. You just have to have that signature event that people will come to from all over," said Johnson-Reece.
Johnson-Reece seeks to elevate people's awareness of what Philadelphia has to offer.
"From a multicultural perspective people may not realize just how much there is in Philadelphia," she said.
"I think people primarily think about the historic district and don't think of it as that cool, sexy, hip place. There's just so much available for people to see and experience."
Johnson-Reece comes to MAC with an extensive background in the corporate sector. She started her corporate career 20 years ago in the finance department of AT&T. She would later move into the company's international marketing division where she focused on the sub-Saharan African and Caribbean markets. The role gave her an understanding for target marketing to a unique group.
Working in the multicultural marketing eventually led her to pursue a career as a diversity leader.
Prior to joining MAC, Johnson-Reece served as a consultant where she advised local companies on their diversity practices.
Johnson-Reece says diversity should be an overall part of how business is conducted due to the changing demographics of the world.
"If you don't understand that you have customers, you have clients, you have employees who may have unique and difference needs, you are positioning yourself for failure going forward because if you want to recruit you have to recruit differently. If you want to market, you have market with a different message in a different place – it could be the same product – you just have to sell it differently," said Johnson-Reece, who has a bachelor's degree in economics from Rutgers University.
"You have to continue to adapt to the changing marketplace," she said.
Johnson-Reece was the first diversity leader for two Fortune 500 companies, most recently, as vice president, global diversity and inclusion for ARAMARK Corporation. During her tenure with ARAMARK, Johnson-Reece created the first global diversity and inclusion strategy, which provided an enterprise-wide, comprehensive approach to adapt to the ever-changing needs of a global marketplace. Key initiatives included the launch of an Executive Leadership Council, the first company diversity report, a Women's Leadership initiative and Leading Inclusion education sessions for the top executives.
Prior to joining ARAMARK, she served as the vice president, diversity and inclusion, with the Cendant Hospitality Group, now Wyndham Worldwide.
Johnson-Reece was named one of the "Top Blacks in the Lodging Industry" by Black Meetings and Tourism magazine and one of the "Top 100 Blacks in Corporate America" by Black Professionals magazine.
"Nicole possesses stellar leadership skills and is a respected professional in the multicultural arena," William Wilson, chairman of the MAC board said in a release.
"She is a strategic thinker who brings great experience, energy and leadership to her new position. Throughout her accomplished career, she has demonstrated her skills as a coalition builder and an expert in multicultural and diverse markets. She will be an asset in our mission to promote our diverse city as a premier destination. I look forward to working with Nicole in her new role."
She has served on the advisory boards for MAC and Dress for Success Philadelphia, the board of the Multicultural Foodservice and Hospitality Alliance and is currently the co-chair of the National Diversity Advisory Council of the American Red Cross.
Johnson-Reece, a resident of Burlington County, N.J., juggles her work at MAC with raising two children.

Brian Schatz on Free Trade | |
In May, Lt. Gov. Schatz traveled with the Hawai`i Tourism Authority (HTA) to Seoul to demonstrate high level government support to Korean travel industry partners and the airlines, and to promote Hawai'i as an ideal travel and business destination. To complement HTA's aggressive marketing push, the Lieutenant Governor conducted a roundtable discussion while in Seoul with four trade newspapers, briefing their readership in issues ranging from the increase in available flights to the various activities for visitors on all of the islands. He also met with both Asiana Airlines and Korean Airlines to reaffirm Hawai'i's commitment to Korea.

The latest poll by Hofstra University's National Center for Suburban Studies has revealed that Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has taken the lead among suburban residents.
Obama and vice presidential nominee Joe Biden now lead the Republican ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin 47 percent to 39 percent in the suburbs.
Last month, the numbers were reversed with McCain/Palin leading Obama/Biden 48 percent to 42 percent.
The poll is based on phone interviews with 1,503 adults 18 and over living in the continental United States conducted from Oct. 22 to Oct. 26. Of those, 1,000 were conducted with adults in the suburbs.
In addition to the overall numbers, the poll found that Obama opened a wider lead among those with a negative view of their personal finances. Last month, Obama led 50 percent to 40 percent. This month, the margin is more than 30 points, 58 percent to 22 percent, in Obama's favor.
Obama also leads by 10 points in the overall national poll, 48 percent to 38 percent, and Obama reversed another McCain lead from last month, now leading among suburban independents 45 percent to 37 percent. Last month, McCain held a 46 percent to 38 percent lead among the same group.
While early voting is not available in New York, the poll found that one in nine suburbanites already voted and about one in four plan to vote before Nov. 4.
"Against the backdrop of growing economic pain in suburbia, Barack Obama has surged past John McCain among suburban 'swing' voters who usually decide national elections," said Lawrence Levy, executive director of the National Center, in a statement. "McCain needs the suburbs if he is to mount a comeback in the final week of the campaign."

- Philip Seymour Hoffman's 'God's Pocket' Gets Release Date
By Kat Giantis
Madonna's first two marriages didn't work out so well (to Guy Ritchie and Sean Penn, respectively). But is she considering a third walk down the aisle with Brahim Zaibat, her French dancer beau of two-plus years, who was still in diapers when she was prancing around in a cone bra?
So claims In Touch, which says the pop icon, 55, used the f-word (fiancé) in front of friends and her kids while introducing Zaibat, 25, at a Kabbalah service in New York on Sept. 4.
"She looked so happy and didn't try to keep it a secret," alleges a spy. "It was like she wanted everyone to know she was going to marry this man."
Considering that her split from Ritchie reportedly cost her north of $75 million, the Big M might be understandably wary of taking the plunge once again.
The official word? Her rep assures Gossip Cop that the engagement talk is "not true at all."

A few years ago, I had a 1991 Ford Ranger with a 4.0 V6 that was acting up too, so I decided to put a carbed 302 V8 in. There are some conversion kits available for that so I ordered the kit (radiator, trans adaptor, motor mounts, headers, etc.). Not sure if kits exist for Yotas or not, but I'm sure the engine compartments of the Ranger and 4Runner are pretty close to the same size.
It was a total pain the the butt. The engine fit pretty well, although it was a tight fit, but the accessories (A/C comp, power steering pump, etc.) all had to be modified. Not to mention the plumbing and wiring issues. That's one conversion I wouldn't do again!

You have all those issues with any swap, no matter what it is, so going into an engine swap a person needs to know that's what it entails. It is not a bolt-together-by-numbers deal, it is a custom job mechanically, and for most people the wiring is a total mystery. Putting in a carbed engine eliminates a bunch of the details that haunt most people. There are no "kits" although most any parts needed for most any logical swap are available.
That said - lots and lots of Fords have been put into Yotas and it is about as easy a swap as any. Look to compaines like Advance Adapters, Novak, LCE, and especially Downey and NWOR (ugh) for adapters and bits and pieces.

WBAP 820/96.7 has reported (and Fox News has confirmed) that Widdle Ricki Santorum has "suspended" his campaign.
Mittens the Rommerhoid wins.
I don't vote in the presidential election.
And all you RINO pusstards who claim that I'm gonna help get Bambi re-elected – come say that to my face if you have the balls.
Posted by Darth Venomous @ 8:30
It's looking more & more like I won't be casting a Presidential ballot in November.
As you all know, the Rommerhoid won Ill-noise – and though he didn't garner 50 percent, it wasn't really that close.
And then, today, Widdle Ricky Santorum pretty much committed political suicide when he said we'd be better off with a second Bambi term instead of the Mormoncharian Candidate (hat tip: Jim Hoft):
Rick Santorum today suggested it would be better to stick with President Obama over a candidate that might be "the Etch A Sketch candidate of the future" — a shot at chief rival Mitt Romney.
"You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who's just going to be a little different than the person in there," said Santorum. "If you're going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk with what may be the etch a sketch candidate of the future."
It's yet another "Booker T moment": "He didn't just say that. Tell me he didn't just say that."
Denizens, you heard it here first: Santorum is leading in Louisiana at the moment. If he manages to keep from screwing that one up, it's still the last state he's gonna win. If I'm Romney, every single commercial I run from now until Tampa Bay will have that quote in it.
Every. Single. One.
G'night, Ricky, thanks for playing.
(And for what it's worth, I'm writing in Rick Perry – both in the primary & the general. Not that it'll do any good, but still)
An old friend of ours here at the Realm, Robert Plett, would be shaking his head sadly at us and mouthing, "I told you so, I told you so…"
Don't be surprised if we have a bona fide third party in 2013.
This past week, Rush Limbaugh took 23-year-old-coed-cum-30-year-old-libtard-activist Sandra Fluke to task for daring to come before a group of Congresscritters and having the chutzpah to demand that we, the American taxpayers, give her and her fellow bimboids money to support their $1000-a-year sex habit.
Limbaugh called her – quite properly, I might add – a "slut" and a "prostitute". And I say "quite properly" because that's exactly what she is, by definition.
Today, Rush Limbaugh let down the conservative movement.
For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.
I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.
And in issuing this apology, Rush Limbaugh has ruined everything he'd worked over 20 years to build. Limbaugh's credibility, if you ask me – and you didn't, not that I give a shit – is damaged beyond repair. The one thing you don't ever do in this business is apologize to an enemy you may (or may not) have offended. Say what you mean, and mean what you say, and stand by it, and let the chips fall where they may.
Otherwise, why should anyone believe what you have to say going forward?
Limbaugh has committed what I consider to be a cardinal sin: He backed down. That makes him worthless to the conservative movement – and to me, as well.
And the more I think about it, the more I realize that it's going to have ramifications for the Realm, as well.
Stay tuned. Barring a major change of mind, changes are coming to this blog.
Posted by Darth Venomous @ 8:01
If I hadn't seen this for myself, I don't think I would have believed it.
Ron Paul. Blame-9/11-on-America Ron Paul. Inflation-conspiracy-theorist Ron Paul.
And he's accusing Widdle Ricky Santorum of conspiracy theories.
Words fail. Words. Just. Fail.
And yet the Ronulans, the Paultards, the Paul cult-of-personality fools, continue to support this son-of-a-bitch.
UPDATE: Don't ask me how, but it looks like I posted the wrong video. Should be fixed now.
Fox News (hack, spit) has called Arizona for the Rommerhoid, and is praying to Maitreya for him to win Michigan, as well.
Fuck you, Arizona. Then again, what can one expect from a bunch of fuckheads that keep sending Juanita McRINO back to the Imperial Socialist Senate?
I say again, and for the record – under no circumstances whatsoever will I vote for that turd for President.
UPDATE: And now Unfair & Unbalanced has called Mi-shit-gan for the Rommerhoid, as well.
I am now officially glad I drive a Hyundai. And even moreso that I didn't buy the Mustang on which I'd had my eye.
And not to put too fine a point on it, Dee-troika – I bought this Hyundai from a Honda-Subaru dealership.
Northeastern asswipes.
So Mittens won Flor-i-duh. Emphasis on the duh.
Makes you start to think that maybe the Donks were right about that shithole of a state. Chalk up yet another reason, O fair Lady Spatula, why I wanted you out of there and up here with me in Texas in the first place. N'awlins isn't the only place in the US where you can find putrid swamps.
Anyway, for a really good take on things (and this is a Homework Assignment), read Misha's treatise here.
Go. Shoo.
Memo to Artur Davis of National Review Online:
Enter the last dream date that Republicans may have at their disposal. His name is Jeb Bush, and this time, there is a feasibility around the idea that seemed unthinkable months ago.
Oh, do go fuck yourself.
(Hat tip: Allahpundit, via Fox News & Little Green Malkinballs)
Denizens, remember about six months ago when I declared Newt the Gingrinch's presidential aspirations to be all but dead?
There's an extremely maddening quality to Newt Gingrich: Every time he gets some momentum going and you think he might be an okay guy to vote for, he goes, sticks his size 13s in his mouth and makes you remember that he's a libtard in RINO clothing.
Fox News poll: Gingrich 23, Romney 22, Cain 15
Being one who, heretofore, had been somewhat of a supporter of/identifier with the Tea Party, I was somewhat of a defender of one Christine O'Donnell, she of the witchcraft accusations of 2010.
Seriously. Let he whom has never absent-mindedly walked into the girls bathroom during "hah skrewl" (a little Rush lingo, there) chuck the first pebble, y'know? In fact, I'm willing to bet that those who screeched the loudest about the witchcraft thing had a Ouija board or two in their own closets growing up.
That said – eventually, give someone enough rope, they're apt to hang themselves. Just as O'Donnell's done by throwing her support to Mittens.
Christine O' Donnell, the former Republican Senate candidate and a Tea Party favorite during the 2010 election, said in an exclusive interview with ABC News that she has not only given money to presidential candidate Mitt Romney but also says she doesn't think he is "getting a fair shake" from those within her own movement.
Romney has so far been highly criticized by the Tea Party movement, who sent protestors to picket during his debut September Tea Party Express event.
Jerry DeLumus, the chairman of the Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC, told ABC News at the Concord, N.H., event that he believed Romney was using the flashy Tea Party Express bus as a "photo op" and not because he is actually aligned with tea party principles.
But O'Donnell, who struggled with her own fair share of bad press during her Senate campaign, told ABC News that she tends to "empathize" when she sees "Romney's record being so obviously distorted and twisted."
Ah, yes. The Romney record (hat tip: the Emperor):
Lets recap: What Romney supported as Governor of Massachusetts:
1. Pro-abortion with full taxpayer funding.
2. Pro-state mandated healthcare.
3. Pro-government mandates in taxes and fees.
4. Pro-gay marriage; full-state sponsorship (1rst Governor).
5. Pro-transgendered education in public schools.
6. Pro-global warming caused by humans hysteria.
7. Pro-amnesty for illegal immigrants.
8. Anti-second Amendment.
9. Support of Ethanol Subsidies..
10. 75% of his Appointments were of Liberal Judges.
11. 47th state out of 50 in job creation.
12. Increased State spending 20.7% during his tenure.
13. Government employment grew 7.2% during his tenure.
14. Pro-Affirmative Action.
15. Romney will say whatever is necessary to get elected.
Among other things.
I hate to say it, but the establishment RINOs may have been nail-head, bang-on right about you, Esmerelda O'Donnell:
You're a fuckin' ditz.
In news that will shock the Uninitiated and damned few else…a leftard endorsed a leftard yesterday.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie endorsed former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in New Hampshire today, providing the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination with a boost on the verge of tonight's New Hampshire debate.
A what?
Ex-sqeeze me? Baking powder?
No, all KrispyKreme Christie (stolen from Mark Levin – thanks!) did was show his fat leftard ass to the rest of the world. I mean, it's not like we didn't already know he was closer to Jim Corzine than Ronaldus Magnus, y'know?
In fact, if you ask me – and you didn't – Governor KrispyKreme's donning the kneepads for Mr. Ronmeycare is pretty much the Kiss Of Death, electorally speaking.
Perry may not win the nomination, thanks to Malicious Malkin and her rim-jobbing sycophants like Pasa-dipshit Phylicia. But it's sure's Hell not gonna be Romney now.
S'long, Mittens, thanks for playing, g'bye.
Geez, win one half-assed, doesn't-count-towards-friggin'-squat straw poll, and suddenly Bozo the Pizza Clown thinks he's a fucking kingmaker.
Herman Cain would not support Rick Perry's candidacy should Perry become the Republican Party's presidential nominee in 2012, Cain told CNN on Wednesday.
Cain, a Georgia businessman who won the Florida Republican straw poll this past weekend, cited Perry's support, as Texas governor, for giving in-state tuition to illegal immigrants as the primary reason he would withhold his endorsement.
"Today I could not support Rick Perry for a host of reasons. Him being soft on securing the border is one of the reasons. I feel very strongly about the need to secure the border for real, the need to enforce the laws that are already there, the need to promote the path to citizenship that's already there," Cain told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "But more importantly empower the states to enforce the national/federal immigration laws because the federal government didn't do it, can't do it, they never will do it. So that's where I think he and I have a basic fundamental difference of opinion."
While I positively abhor Big Dickhead Perry's approach towards illegals, I'm also absolutely convinced that he's the only one with the stones to take on B. HUSSEIN!!! Obambi. Besides, he's demonstrated in the past that he's not married to his political positions when sufficient opposition exists – witness the Gardasil flap and the Trans-Texas Corridor fiasco. Each time, he stood up for his position, only to relent when sufficient opposition to his idea manifested itself. He will listen to his constituentcy, which is more than any of can say for a lot of our politicians.
But if you wanna go down that road, Hermie, then two can play that game.
I say now, and for the record, that I endorse Rick Perry for President of the United States. And I will not vote for any other GOP nominee in the general election.
That means, Hermie, that should you somehow luck into the nomination, you can go try to win the White House without my vote. I won't vote for you, for Michele "Duh, when did Elvis die again?" Bachmann, for Jon-boy Huntsman, for Chris Christie – and I sure as Hell won't vote for Gingrinch, or Mittens, and especially not for your ugly ass.
(Oh, did I mention I won't vote for you, Cain?)
Let's see how you like it when the people play your sorry-assed game better than you can.
Y'know, Denizens, I had been wanting to associate myself with the Tea Party. I mean, what's not to like? We both think we're overtaxed, we both want government to return to conservative, Constitutional principles, we both want a conservative in the White House…right?
Wellllllll, not so fast there, Sparky. Looks like the Tea Party – at least, the organized one – has jumped the shark.
After last Thursday's debate, in which both Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich outshone both of the purported frontrunners, the question of whether primary Republican voters will choose their nominee according to conventional wisdom as to what makes a candidate electable or according to personal preferences and conservative principles has been (somewhat) reopened.
Well, I don't know about Cain. I think that was a case of Big Dickhead Perry shooting himself in the foot, combined with the fact that Mittens isn't going to get elected dogcatcher in FLA.
But Ms. Korbe, if you think Newt Gingrich can outshine a black hole, I've a bridge I wanna sell you.
Anyway, continuing on…
But Cain's surprise upset in the Florida straw poll this weekend was a forcible reminder that Perry and Romney aren't technically alone in the race — and that Republicans are willing to reassert preference and principle in symbolic ways, at least. In that vein, Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips recently endorsed eloquent debater Newt Gingrich.
That would be the Gingrinch that sat on the couch with San Fran Nan Pig-lousi. That would be the Gingrinch that sided with Bambi on Bambicare. That would be the Gingrinch that called us "right-wing social engineers". And he included you in that, Juddy baby.
And that's who you want to see as President.
G'night, Tea Party. Be sure to run over a few cacti in your slide to oblivion, hm?
Looks like Malicious Malkin is having a little trouble handling the flak she's rightly getting for her continuous kvetching about Rick Perry.
(UPDATE: You might be thinking that it's no big deal that ol' Malicious comments in her own thread. Unless you've been reading her for a while, and realize that she hardly ever comments in her threads, much less leaves a second one – like this was.)
In response to this comment…

I have been reading Michelle's site for several years now. Seems like she has nothing good to say about any of the Republicans running for office. It seems she is wanting to ensure that obummer gets reelected in 2012. I have in the past, almost exclusively agreed with Michelle but something has changed. She seems to have changed. I have come to the conclusions that she has become very bitter. Sorry Michelle.
…ol' Malicious bleated the following:
So I guess now we know why Timmeh Pawlenty(of shit) didn't have the stones to confront Mittens on Rombamacare in Massachusetts, huh?
Tim Pawlenty admitted tonight that he had erred by retreating from attacking Mitt Romney on "Obamneycare" during the debate Monday night.
"I should have been much more clear," Pawlenty told Sean Hannity. "I don't think we can have a nominee that was involved in the development and construction of Obamacare and continues to defend it."
Yeah, well – it turns out T-Paw was harboring a secret man-crush on ol' Mittens.
One month ago Tim Pawlenty was on a stage in Iowa debating against Mitt Romney, but today the former Minnesota governor – no longer in the presidential race – became a national co-chair for Romney's campaign.
"Mitt Romney is fighting for the same things I fought for as governor and during my campaign for president," Pawlenty said today. " As a former blue state governor, I appreciate what Mitt was able to do in Massachusetts. He created jobs and balanced his budgets without raising taxes – even with an over eighty percent Democrat legislature. That ability to get things done is what we need in our nominee."
Modified Stockholm Syndrome, anyone?
Well, that'll put Mittens over the top, ayup. What was Buttmunch polling when he dropped out – something like two, three percent? That puts Rombo within sight of…Perry's exhaust! He'll overtake 'im Any Day Now, I tells ya!
Denizens, the more astute amongst you will have noticed by now that the name of Michelle Malkin no longer graces the blogroll.
(Not that that fact has any major significance beyond my feeble mind – as I've said before, give me at least partial credit for realizing that the world doesn't revolve around me. Still.)
There's a reason for that – this.

With the popularity of Wii Fit, Brain Age, and all of the other health-conscious gimmicks Nintendo keeps implementing, it's hard to tell if they're simply capitalizing on untapped markets, or if they genuinely care about our wellbeing. 3DS Coins could be considered a step in either direction, but regardless, it's an ingenious concept.
Much like the Pokéwalker packed in with the latest Pokemon games, the 3DS includes a built-in pedometer that tracks how much you walk, recording the data in its Activity Log program. Of course, Nintendo puts a twist on this stay-fit concept by rewarding pedestrians with "Game Coins", which are used unlock content in games. Think of it as Achievement Points you earn simply by doing some real-world walking, which can later be spent on new weapons, or items, or anything else you can imagine.
'Tis a sad day for the sedentary.
While the concept of getting gamers off their stereotypical lazy asses is certainly a noble cause, Nintendo's true motives are far more devious and brilliant. By offering real content with Game Coins, Nintendo's not only encouraging you to be more active, but they're ensuring that you end up taking your 3DS everywhere you go. Couple this concept with their StreetPass tag mode, which actively trades gaming information with any 3DS you walk within range of, and you've got one hell of an offline social marketing tool.
