CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- I have a Ford Windstar 2001 Van. At one point the ABS light came on. During the next few weeks, the light would go off and on intermittently. While I was gone on Business trip, the light came on and stayed on. My wife takes it in for service and we were hit with an 2100.00 dollar bill for brakes, labor, and some other nice expensive part. When I got home a few days later, the ABS light popped on again. Scanning the forums online, I found a switch underneath the brake fluid tank that people wrote about. I looked it up and bought it for less than 40 bucks, it took all of 10 minutes to replace, and the ABS light has not come on since. I am thinking I was ripped off 2100.00 dollars, but too late and I have no used parts to look at.
Then less than 3 months (vehicle at 110,000 miles), another light pops on which indicates a problem with the emissions system. This time I went online first, and found it to be the heater core. I am not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but when looking at what people paid to have this done (700.00 to 1100.00 dollars), I decided to get a drawing from Ford showing where the part was when I bought the heater core (100.00 dollars roughly) I spent Sat. taking it out, and Sun. putting the new one in. Not really hard work, the hardest part was getting the hoses off on the engine side of the firewall, and then getting the lower cover seated on the firewall in the cabin.
The last thing to happen is the Driver's side power window started flaking out, sometimes it would go down, sometimes not. I am currently in the process of trying the switch assy. (82.00 dollars), then if that don't work the FEM/GEM, not sure of the price for this, imagine it to be around 200.00 - 300.00. Then if that does not work then the motor. Unfortunately the motor is pinned to the door with some kind of snaps and I don't have the tool to pop those. Also the motor does not have a "brake/release" button like you have on a garbage disposal or other similar motors, so I can not raise my window, it is in the down position. I am willing to bet that this will cost around 500.00 - 1000.00.
Oh yeah, forgot about the transmission. Driving along, come to a stop, can't move, engine running. After about 20 minutes, finally get it to move, transmission fluid leaking, take it in, the gaskets have to be replaced, and "sun" gear assembly inside has to be replace. It was also knocking, so they replace another part which name escapes me at the moment, all of this cost 2200.00. It still knocks, I hesitate to take it in for fear of paying more for nothing.
With the door switch, I will have spent 4500.00 dollars on this vehicle. Sad to say, but I will be stuck with it the rest of this year. When I finally own it. I will be trading it in later this year and I will MOST DEFINITELY NOT be buying a ford product. They make crap, they treat you like crap, and they could give a crap about your problems. They think very highly of their service at the rates they charge for CRAP repairs.
FORD does not care about service, they only want your money, do yourself a favor and buy from some other company.

At 110,000 miles you weren't expecting it to be maintenance free were you?
Since you are still paying on a loan for a 2001 vehicle, I am guessing you bought it used.
What "other nice expensive part" was replaced for your 2100 dollars?
Posted by Hugh_Jorgen on 2008-05-23:
FWIW, my sister had one of those - she went thru three transmissions in 100K miles - the first one failed the night she picked it up from the Ford dealer's used car lot with 21K miles on it.
That one and the next one were covered under the extended warranty. For the third one, she was on her own and went to a local shop that's been in this area for many years. The owner explained that the engine/transmission combo in those minivans was right out of the Taurus sedan and just wasn't robust enough to haul a van around. She sold it shortly after that.
Oh, as far as the clips that hold the window motor, if they are like other Fords I have seen, they are pop rivets that have to be drilled out - you can buy a pop rivet gun and rivets for less than $30 or you might be able to go back with small nuts and bolts - but put some Loctite on the threads.

Hackmaster 4th edition
Playtest Review by Jamie Herbert on 22/08/01
Style: 4 (Classy and well done) Substance: 4 (Meaty) Does Gary Jackso still have the golden touch? Product: Hackmaster 4th edition Author: Jolly R. Blackburn and others Category: RPG Company/Publisher: Kenzer and Co. Line: Hackmaster Cost: $29.99 Page count: 398 Year published: 2001 ISBN: 1-889182-36-2 SKU: K&C2100 Comp copy?: no Playtest Review by Jamie Herbert on 22/08/01 Genre tags: Fantasy Comedy |
Since the first time I read an issue of Shadis, it was apparent to me that JR Blackburn really understood gamers through his work in humor. Since its humble beginnings the Knights of the Dinner Table have gone from being a simple cartoon strip in a gaming magazine to being truly an industry itself. And now things are full circle the game from the comic has become a real game in all its hack filled glory. But what is it? Is it a parody of the excesses and foolishness that makes up our hobby? Is it a work of serious gaming? Or is it just an expensive way to show that you are an obsessive fanboy? Well in many ways it is all three but there is more here. Weighing in at over 390 pages, this book has a lot to offer.
Looking at this product from the perspective of a piece of serious work, it is a very odd duck. The mark of the first edition of AD&D on this product is unmistakable. In many ways the entire book has the feel of being what AD&D could have been if games like White Wolfs storyteller system, or RTGs Castle Falkenstien, hadnt influenced the industry. While the game is a wacky and Archaic as any of TSR old school products, it is proof that a game doesnt have to be new to be fun (something main of the proponents of D20 have been screaming) Character creation is a complex collection of rolling dice, choosing a race and class (referencing and cross referencing as you go!!) not to mention remembering all sorts of prerequisites. Just like classic D&D games you have to contend with the all too real possibility that you may not be able to play your desired class because you may not roll properly to get the prerequisite scores to make it into your class of choice, and the rules are quite strict that you roll 3d6 (not 4d6 discard the low die, or any other wacky techniques!!) and you must roll from strength to comeliness in order! As well. However for the dyed in the wool 1st edition players (dont scoff they are out there) this book provides a few new and interesting rules not to mention a host of new spells and races that might be of use to 1st edition loyalists looking for something new but refusing to look at 3e. As a work of Parody the primary gripe is obvious it is way to damn complex to really fit the beer and pretzels mold. After an hour completing my first character (a Grel Berserker) the last thing I want to do is play this as a pick up game, but at the same time I have a feeling this game is going to be more of a convention favorite than something that replaces D&D, or 7th sea as a widely used fantasy game. The cost is also rather prohibitive. Now I will grant you that one of the big jokes in KODT is the fact that we as gamers spend a lot of hard earned cash on semi useless (and sometimes outright silly products) to enhance our gaming experience. The players guide and game masters guide each weigh in at $30 apiece, and the eight Hacklopedia of beasts books run for about $20 a pop (although actually you can substitute old Monster manuals with minimal effort!) So for the full set of game books you are looking at $220, which is way to, damn expensive for just a joke. Conversely, there is a lot of material here that is new and unique and a lot of different ways to improve the old AD&D game. Many players will be put off to think of this game as a serious work (or even a semi serious game with a sense of humor) especially with the much easier D&D3e game system is available and so popular. But this game is actually a very fun product that is both a work of nostalgia as well as a workable game that in every respect mirrors the once fictional product that every ones favorite Muncie based gaming group plays and argues over consistently. Pass the Faygo and Call the Pizza a go go, because tonight were gonna party like its 18/99!! |

Registering trademarks in France is normally done via specialised lawyers ( as elsewhere )..and is thus expensive and complex..French registered businesses and citizens can do their own ( less expensive ..but very complex ..nothing is as complex as French legalese ;-)) ..not for the faint hearted or the non totally fluent in French legalese ..
I have some..self registered..;-)
Even the French usually use trademark lawyers..there are easier and cheaper ways,( mentioned above ) to qualify to register a dot fr.
If the law changes..I'll revisit this thread and post a translation ( wait for the afnic to translate things, and we'd all be as grey bearded as me ;-) of the salient parts..as they affect domain registrations.

Last week, Hillel Glazer, the inventor of HeatTrak, spoke with the members of JBiz's roundtable discussion group. This Jewish entrepreneur created outdoor heated matting products to keep walkways free from snow or ice. He freely discussed his path to becoming an entrepreneurial success.
Out of college, Glazer had a great stable job with Standard and Poor's. While most college business students can only dream of a job like this, after a couple of years, Glazer decided to leave S and P in search of a more personally fulfilling career. This daringness should encourage students to follow their passions, in addition to just a sizeable paycheck.

Last week the Emory Students for Israel held a discussion, debating how the US Presidential elections will affect Israel. Joining the conversation was Middle East history Professor, Dr. Ayalon, who greatly contributed to the conversation with his analysis of Obama's and Romney's views on Israel, and the Israelis' views on the candidates. Also contributing to the discussion was a representative of the College Republicans club and various members of Hillel. Discussion topics included Iran, the two state solution, and the ever changing political climate of the Middle East. Participants on both sides of the political spectrum enthusiastically debated which is the proper course the candidates should take in the Middle East, should they win the Presidency. The future of the West Bank was also passionately debated.
This discussion was an excellent demonstration that regardless of what we believe, as long as people can come together and voice their opinions in a civil manner about the issues that matter to them, we are fulfilling one of the most important aspects of democracy.

Last Saturday night, students gathered together in Asbury Circle to mark the separation between Shabbat and the rest of the week in a beautiful ceremony called Havdallah. I, coming from Camp Ramah, was very familiar with this ritual and was excited to experience it in a new way here at Emory. I enjoyed singing along and connecting to the people around me, but what was most thrilling for me to see was all the students, Jews and non-Jews alike, coming together in a circle to put their arms around each other and sway to the melody of the prayer. After the flame of the Havdallah candle was extinguished, everyone stayed to drink delicious hot cocoa, the first taste of the new week. It was truly special to be a part of an experience so unifying and spirited.

October 2nd 2012-Shakes in the Sukkah was an event sponsored by Hillel and the Muslim Student Association (MSA). The event was hosted at Hillel's Sukkah outside of Cannon Chapel and brought together both Jewish and Muslim students. The students were challenged to answer trivia about each other's religion and this ensured that students of the different student groups interacted. Delicious chocolate, vanilla, and cookie dough milk shakes were enjoyed in the sukkah. The warm atmosphere, interesting conversations and delicious shakes made for a great night!

Harvest Fest is an inter-religious arts celebration of the Harvest, sponsored in part by Hillel at Emory. Under the light of the moon, artists ranging from rappers to acapella singers performed for an intimate crowd gathered by the Sukkah. I had a great time performing with ChaiTunes, one of Emory's acapella groups, and an even better time listening to the unique styles of the other artists. As we sat together, listened together, and of course ate together, we felt the true spirit of the Harvest season. HarvestFest broke through our separate religious and cultural identities and united us in a way that only art can.

McDougall, Kevin and Rajabifard, Abbas and Williamson, Ian (2006) A mixed method approach for evaluating spatial data sharing partnerships for SDI development. In: GSDI 9 International Conference for Global Spatial Data Infrastructure: Spatial Information: Tool for Reducing Poverty, 3-11 Nov 2006, Santiago, Chile.
This is the latest version of this item.
GSDI9_Paper_McDougall_etal_revised_for_creative_commons_with_diagrams_inserted.pdf Download (1372Kb) |
In recent years inter-jurisdictional partnerships have emerged as an important mechanism for establishing an environment conducive to data sharing and hence the facilitation of SDI development. However, unless the partnership arrangements are carefully designed and managed to meet the business objectives of each partner, it is unlikely that they will be successful or sustainable in the longer term. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the methodological approaches and issues which arise when researching these new data sharing partnerships and their relationships to SDI development. In this paper a research methodology is proposed to investigate both the organisational context of data sharing partnerships and the factors that contribute to the success of inter-jurisdictional data sharing initiatives. The paper examines past research and theory in spatial data sharing and examines the characteristics of a number of existing data sharing models and frameworks. A mixed method research approach which combines both qualitative and quantitative methods using a case study strategy is then described. An example of the application of this methodological approach is then applied to the evaluation of local-state government partnerships in order to understand their characteristics and success factors. Finally, the validation of the mixed methods approach and its generalisation to other SDI and data sharing initiatives is discussed.

Here's a little update on the two high-value $3/1 South Beach Diet printable coupons. Note that you can get two prints from each, so that's a total of four coupons per computer. Print now, because I don't know how long these will last.
-$3/1 South Beach Diet Snack Smoothies, Meal Bars, Snack Bars, Sweet Delights or Ready Meals printable coupon (direct link) – the newer link!
-$3/1 South Beach Diet Snack Smoothies, Meal Bars, Snack Bars, Sweet Delights or Ready Meals printable coupon (preclipped) - the link from two nights ago!
First of all, the products marketed as "Snack Bars" and "Meal Bars" are priced at $3.98 at Walmart. That makes them just $0.98 per box after coupon, a great deal.
As for using the coupons above on the Publix BOGO that started today…I elected not to use the coupon today, although it is my personal opinion that it is okay to do so. It is not really clear how one would categorize the item that is BOGO $2.99 at Publix if it is not intended to be either a meal or a snack. Sure, South Beach Diet has specific items that they market as "Snack Bars"or "Meal Bars," but unless these other bars are something like an appetizer bar (LOL), they must certainly be either a meal or a snack.
I personally would not criticize anyone who uses this coupon in this way and I am contemplating using mine on the sale as well. I decided to hold back from purchasing in my two transactions earlier today, but that doesn't mean I will not use them later in the sale.
I did receive an email from one visitor that the coupon is a beeper on the "Good To Go" bars that are included in the sale. I don't know if this is because Publix has decided that the coupon is not a match, or if it is because the Good To Go bars are a new product from South Beach Diet. Take that info however you'd like.
Never miss another hot coupon, deal or freebie again! "Like" Couponaholic .NET on Facebook, Follow us on Pinterest, Follow us on Twitter, or Subscribe to our Daily Email Newsletter!

I ordered it a size down as suggested and it''s a perfect fit. Fantastic for slippery indoor pool tiled surfaces
Well they sent me one of these $49.99 dollar Wallets and within an hr the snap button broke.So I called customer service they were polite and accomadating but reassured me the new wallet wouldn''t have that problem. Now I have my second wallet andit works but one of the button snaps is very weak and almost Pulls out by itself which is a little bit of a drag. So overall this wallet is way over priced even at there saleprice which is 25.99. To me this wallet should be 15.99 topsand then it would at least be a fair deal.
great shirt true to size fits nice love it as the last person said this shirt does dry quick and make for a sweet rash guard shirt in and out of the water. i have 2 of these and i always use them for surfbording it holds well and the polos feel great when wet too. so you can use these shirts for the water. you should put that into the discription of the item
looks good feel better

Updated: Mayor's office: $275,000 grant to 'improve' High Falls
High Fall, N.Y. The mayors office announced Thursday that roughly $250,000 in state funding has been secured to begin construction on High Falls.
In a press release Thursday, Mayor Thomas Richards and Senators Joseph Robach and George Moses, announced a $250,000 grant to transform High Falls.
According to the press release, $200,000 will be used to upgrade the Genesee Riverway Trail. The construction will allegedly complete a portion of the trail on the east side of the Genesee River from the Genesee Brew House Visitors Center to the rim of the High Falls.
"By securing these state resources, said Senator Robach, We can attract more people and bring more jobs to the High Falls and Downtown Rochester.
The additional $50,000 will be used to light the falls.

YoYo's Ups and Downs
For proof that superior food doesn't guarantee a restaurant's success, you need look no further than YoYo, the successor to Elka in Japantown's Hotel Miyako. Elka Gilmore's "definitive seafood" restaurant ran out of steam in the spring of 1995 despite excellent press and a national reputation. YoYo, which opened a year ago August, retained key staff and its predecessor's passion for fish, but while the food has always been excellent, the restaurant is still trying to find its niche in the marketplace.
"I'm sure a lot of it has to do with location," says George Francisco, the 30-year-old chef. "There's very little walk-by traffic, and our big sign on Geary blew down in December's windstorm. Then the hotel was bought by Radisson, and they put up their own sign. A lot of people just aren't aware of us."
Francisco, who became chef earlier this year, has continued much of the restaurant's "fusion" cooking, which gives Asian twists to French dishes, although he does play up the "California-French" slant of the menu he introduced earlier this month. But he says the staff is now "targeting locally" for customers and "trying to make YoYo into a neighborhood place."

Region: Santa Clara
"Three years of having a national profile left us with nothing," he says. "People would come in one or two times, and we'd get great write-ups, but the steady business wasn't there. Now, rather than marketing the restaurant as a fusion/Pacific Rim place, we're trying to be something a little different for this neighborhood, which already has a major Asian influence."
The restaurant's publicist, Maggie Kerrigan, thinks that YoYo is "very successful with people who know it" but concedes that it's difficult to get to. "If you have to get into your car or a cab for lunch," she says, "you don't. It's a mental block."
Most people are going to have to drive to YoYo, but a little-known fact is that a validated-parking garage awaits them. There are two entrances: on westbound Geary between Webster and Laguna, and at Post and Webster, next to the Japanese supermarket. The parking garage gives direct access to the hotel, and from there to the restaurant.
A major reason people go to restaurants is to escape, however briefly, the world of hassles, including parking. Scouring Japantown for a dinnertime parking space on the street (especially with the always-busy Kabuki Theater just down the block) will only sharpen your frustrations, not your appetite. A garage, on the other hand, helps -- a lot. And YoYo's got one after all.

A bright red neon sign effuses a cheerful glow onto Kozy's simple white cottage building, never betraying a hint of the elegant gourmet feasts to be found inside. Lauded as a "hidden gem" by the editors of VisitSouth.com, Kozy's embodies founder Sylvere Coussement's dream of mingling Southern culinary curiosity with a speakeasy's old-fashioned charm. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a scene described by _Southern Living as "unique ambiance with an old-Hollywood theme". As house musician Henderson Huggins's live piano jazz mingles with the sound of the courtyard's antique cherub fountain burbling into the koi pond, waiter clad in smart black tie garb bear plates full of seasonal, French-influenced meals. Plates might hold Gulf shrimp and grits, center-cut filet mignon, Andouille-crusted pork, and stuffed mushrooms declared one of the "100 Dishes to Eat in Alabama Before You Die" by the Auburn and Opelika Tourism Bureau. This dedication to inventive quality extends to the bar, which houses bottles of the restaurant's extensive wine list as well as precision mixologists ready to turn out impeccable cocktails. On warm nights or sunny days, guests sip these drinks on the fenced-in garden patio, surrounded by fragrant flowers and leafy trees.
In addition to serving memorable meals, Kozy's crack team of caterers and event professionals also lends the restaurant's signature flavors to both off-site events and fetes thrown in their private party room or courtyard. Though Kozy's has no de facto dress code, most of the clientele complements the classy surroundings and haute cuisine meals with attire that ranges from business casual to Monopoly man.

Best Wanderlust Classes My Mantras: 7 Lessons Learned at Wanderlust by Lizzie Fuhr 8/06/12 2 Reactions 20 Shares Print 2 1 17 0 0 Last weekend, I was lucky enough to be Toyota's guest at the phenomenal Wanderlust Festival in Squaw Valley. There was no shortage of natural beauty or fun times, but the yoga classes I took at Wanderlust were unlike anything I've encountered at a studio. Beyond the physical poses, there was so much wisdom I was grateful to receive from each of the standout teachers. Keep reading to learn the mantras I took with me from Wanderlust. Start "Get grounded before flight." What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Schyuler Grant, Janet Stone, and Ashley Turner teamed up for a fun class that focused on some serious arm-balancing postures. All three women were from three different cities — NYC, SF, and LA — and DJ Drez brought out music that was indicative of each locale. The best lesson I received from this inspiring class? Before you can really take flight, you've got to set up a strong foundation. Source: Instagram user ashleyturner 1 1 / 7 "Don't bail!" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 One of the last classes that I took on Saturday was on a whim; I was initially signed up for something else, but wanted another shot at taking a class in the prAna Shala. Les Leventhal teaches in San Francisco, and I am so happy I decided to take his detox Vinyasa class. Upbeat music like Styx and The Cars played in the background, and Les powered us through an amazing sequence. He urged us to push our edge, get cool with falling, and not bail on poses we didn't enjoy! Even though I really felt the burn, I managed to keep a big grin and laugh the whole time. Photo courtesy of Les Leventhal 2 / 7 "Love your life." What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I wasn't anticipating loving hooping as much as I did, and I have no doubt that hoop master Jocelyn Gordon helped make that possible. Her positive energy and huge smile was immediately infectious. As we learned to waist hoop, she made us shout, "Life is great!" It felt a little silly at first, but I felt an instant connection to the class and what the rest of the day would hold. Photo courtesy of Jocelyn Gordon 3 / 7 "Practice mindfulness." What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gopi Kallayi is a renowned TED conference speaker and was one of the creators of Google+! He may seem like a strange choice for Wanderlust, but due to the HayHouse Speakeasy sessions, festival-goers also had the opportunity to attend inspiring lectures. Gopi discussed the importance of using technology mindfully and knowing how to "friend" yourself. Photo by Mario Covic via Wanderlust 4 / 7 "Heal yourself." What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 So many times we hide from our patterns of pain, but Siri Peterson and Ashleigh Sergeant know that we can often heal ourselves. During their Anusara workshop that focused on yoga therapeutics for athletes, every pose was dissected and discussed in order to find the sweet spots where optimal progress and transformation can occur. I learned so much during my time with these awesome ladies! Photos courtesy of Siri Peterson and Ashleigh Sergeant 6 / 7 "Embrace your inner child." What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In Baron Baptiste's class, "The Edge of Playfulness," Baron shared a quick anecdote about his son's ability to find the sweetness and lightness in even the mundane tasks he hated — like homework! Throughout the class, Baron Baptiste made us get playful with others, color outside the lines, and let it all loose. Photo courtesy of Baron Baptiste 6 / 7 "Dig deeper." What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I saw an image of Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa in Vanity Fair years back, and I've always been drawn to something about her femininity and fierceness. I was absolutely thrilled to learn she'd be teaching Kundalini at Wanderlust. I assumed her class was going to be an easy, flowing meditation, but the two hours were anything but! Her commanding and calming tone helped me move through my past roadblocks and get out of my perceived limitations. If you ever have an opportunity to take a class from Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, then do not pass it up.

I love reading, silent film, obscure female folksy artists from Canada, and making up little songs to suit whatever I'm doing and singing them loudly. I love people who's flow of thoughts are similiar to my own.
My fashion sense makes me think gothic hippie; I'm not religious; I love studying things from the 1920's era, and women's studies; I'm not good at self descriptions. Please don't think me cold and detatched, I'm just twitchily trying to speak what's on my mind.

* NEW from Mercenary Musik (Los Angeles) USA:
MALDOROR KOLLECTIVE "New Era Viral Order" CD
Ritual Black Metal!
Third album from the Cult Italian Kollective (formerly known simply as MALDOROR), a massive extreme metal electrocution that is impossible to label: an opus of overloaded post-metal eccentrically infected with harsh industrial beats, ritual Dark-Ambient tissues, hypnotic EBM bas- lines melted on Black Metal machinery made up of inhuman trance-like riffs and schizoid vocals. This is neither for last-time vamp posers, not for trendy clowns of the extreme, nor for "satanic" blustering freaks. Radical, innovative, and outstanding! The aesthetic was strongly influenced by names such as Kenneth Anger, William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Phil Hine (Chaos Magick / Illuminates of Thanateros), and the social LaVeyan experience. The album is a concept work on the fundamental Liber Al vel Legis seen through the metaphor of CONTAGION: the disease, the viral effect and the impending of a new possible epidemic as the endemic reaction of our race in new aeon post-industrial social deflagration.

SHINING (Mayhem) "III - ANGST" CD
Suicidal Black Metal from Sweden
The originators of suicidal Black Metal propaganda, SHINING are the gun pointed at your forehead and what differs SHINING from other likewise (though ineffective) bands is the fact that they do have access to the ammunition: suicide-fixated, utterly negative monotony under the dictatorship of Kvarforth. SHINING exist merely to cause damage and destroy your well-being! Suicide, self-destruction and the abuse of the human flesh and mind. The main purpose for SHINING is to fanatically deprave the listeners with their musical and lyrical propaganda, to embrace the sub-culturistic youth with suicidal happiness! Drums are played by Hellhammer from the legendary MAYHEM and KOVENANT.
SHINING, the third, stands as a monument to all the misery around us, a needle injecting the purest into your arm! Let Self-destruction Blossom!

I'm pretty sure it won't help the fans' patience level, but nonetheless Vikings coach Leslie Frazier addressed the faithful in his opening remarks a day after the team blew another first-half lead to fall to 0-2.
"My only words to the fans are `Be patient,'" Frazier said. "We're going to get there. I have a great belief that we will. And we're going to keep working and try to get there sooner than later."

Response To Officer Down Call Earns Investigator Special Recognition
View Officer Award Winners
View Civilian Award Winners
April 26, 2011
- Knoxville Mayor Daniel Brown and Police Chief David Rausch named Investigator Patty Tipton the February Officer of the Month for the Knoxville Police Department.
Investigator Tipton has been with KPD since January 1996.
Chief Rausch said that on February 26, 2011, at approximately 10:53 a.m., Knoxville Police Department Officer Andrew Olson was shot by a suspect while attempting to conduct a traffic stop on Washington Pike. When the 'officer down' call came out over the radio, Investigator Tipton was only a few blocks away from the scene. Investigator Tipton responded to the scene along with numerous patrol and criminal investigation division personnel. Investigator Tipton, who was among the first 3 officers on the scene, immediately initiated first aid to Officer Olson.
Chief Rausch said, "Investigator Tipton found Officer Olson lying on his back on the sidewalk behind his patrol car. Officer Olson had suffered a gapping wound to his leg. Without hesitation or availability of protective gloves, Investigator Tipton placed her hand directly on Olson's wound in an attempt to slow down the loss of blood."
Investigator Tipton advised other officers she needed clothing to help with applying direct pressure to the wound. Investigator Tipton used an officer's pair of sweat pants to aid her in applying direct pressure on the wound.
Chief Rausch said, "Investigator Tipton stayed with Officer Olson and held pressure to the wound even after the first responder units and EMS had arrived on the scene."
"There is no doubt that if not for the team work of all the officers on the scene, their quick response, and the first aid given by Investigator Tipton, Officer Olson's chance for survival would have been diminished significantly," said Chief Rausch.
Mayor Brown said, "This incident clearly shows the dedication our officers have not only for our community, but to their brothers and sisters in blue. We congratulate Investigator Tipton on an outstanding job."

The 39 Clues Book 1 : The Maze of Bones
Minutes before she died Grace Cahill changed her will, leaving her descendents an impossible decision: "You have a choice - one million dollars or a clue."
Grace is the last matriarch of the Cahills, the world's most powerful family. Everyone from Napoleon to Houdini is related to the Cahills, yet the source of the family power is lost. 39 clues hidden around the world will reveal the family's secret, but no one has been able to assemble them. Now the clues race is on, and young Amy and Dan must decide what's important: hunting clues or uncovering what REALLY happened to their parents.
The 39 Clues is Scholastic's groundbreaking new series, spanning10 adrenaline-charged books, 350 trading cards, and an online game where readers play a part in the story and compete for over $100,000 in prizes.
The 39 Clues books set the story, and the cards, website and game allow kids to participate in it. Kids visit the website - the39clues.com - and discover they are lost members of the Cahill family. They set up online accounts where they can compete against other kids and against Cahill characters to find all 39 clues. Through the website, kids can track their points and clues, manage their card collections, dig through the Cahill archives for secrets, and "travel" the world to collect Cahill artifacts, interview characters, and hunt down clues. Collecting cards helps: Each card is a piece of evidence containing information on a Cahill, a clue, or a family secret.
Every kid is a winner - we'll give away prizes through the books, the website and the cards, including a grand prize of $10,000!
* * * * *
Each of the 39 Clues eBooks unlocks 6 digital game cards
Mirroring the print editions, each of the 39 Clues eBooks comes with 6 digital game cards that extend the storytelling online at www.the39clues.com. The cards grant a reader access to secret information about the Cahill family: cards from books in the first series each unlocks one of the 39 clues, while book cards in the second series each unlock an online mission related to the book.
Digital card redemption is easy!
The redemption process is handled entirely on www.the39clues.com. Follow the simple instructions found in the front of your eBook file to participate in a fun (and easy!) puzzle-solving activity:
1. Purchase the eBook.
2. Initiate the card redemption process by following instructions that appear in the front of the eBook file and which direct you to a special URL on the 39 Clues game site.
3. You will be asked to find two random words from the first few sentences of two chapters of the book to prove ownership.
4. If the enter the words correctly, the card will appear in your account immediately.
If you have any problems, the 39 Clues customer service representatives are available to help at any point in the process.

I am an aging man with starving children. I write blogs about video games. My favorite system is the Game Boy. I have three of them in my house; one in the shitter, one by my computer, and one in my pocket.
My aspiration in life is to not die. Runner up is writing and creating random bullshit related to my only hobby, which is games. I guess I read books too. But nobody cares about OLD MAN hobbies like that, so get outta town, GRANDPA!
My favorite game is Ecco the Dolphin. I like to speedrun it because it makes me feel like a big man, except when the credits run, which is where I usually reflect sadly upon the rest of my life. I love dick jokes and farts. Dickfarts.
I want to write for Destructoid some day, but the staff here are too smart to hire me. I need to find a clever way to trick a legitimate enthusiast site to pay me a small amount of money to do something for them or I can never happy.
But even then, I probably still won't be happy.
Such is life.

The Shrill Cry of Spoiled Consumers
on 03.14.2012
Actually, I think that's about as clever as I'm willing to be this morning; that word basically speaks for itself these days.
While a legion of goofballs cried all week long about how some 3D space RPG didn't end in the way they expected it too, I was playing Contra 3 on hard mode, trying to finally get the ending I so deserve to see. I know it isn't a big deal, it lasts maybe 30 seconds and is little more than a couple of pictures and a congratulations. But for those days, that is what we had come to expect. In the first Super Mario Bros. we were rewarded with having to play the whole fucking game again an infinite number of times until we got bored and slashed our own throats. But we sucked it up and dealt with it, because really, who cares?
I have never played a Mass Effect game, simply because they look about as entertaining and exciting to me as a punch to the groin. I could butter you all up by saying something about how I respect Bioware, and how Mass Effect is probably good if I gave it time, but no; I can't think of a single Bioware game I actually sat all the way through and enjoyed to the last. I dunno, did they do Baldur's Gate? If so then, at the very least, I WANTED to love that game, but I didn't. It probably makes me a worse person, and certainly a less informed gamer. But fuck all of that shit anyways.
I don't need to love Bioware games or even RPG's to understand a simple concept; life is about the journey, not the destination. The fact that so many people felt Mass Effect came to an unsatisfying conclusion makes me question one thing; how much did they really enjoy it to begin with? If it had been a fun riveting experience, a thrill ride set over three long, satisfying games, then why did a simple ending piss everyone off so much?
More importantly, why do any of them feel entitled to their own custom conclusion based exactly on their personal wants and needs? It doesn't look like a bunch of loyal fans getting screwed out of something owed to them; it looks like a bunch of whiny little consumers who think that raising money out of spite for Childs Play and spewing vitriol on forums will get them anywhere. I am not sure how much overlap their is between these assholes and the people who were hurling shit at one of Bioware's lady writers, but it really wouldn't surprise me considering how smug this recent bunch of spoiled babies has been acting.
Personally, I am glad Bioware is giving them the stiff middle finger on this. Asking someone to literally change their personal creative vision because you simply didn't like it is one of the most arrogant, childishly insane propositions, and one that is completely laughed at in any other medium. If it were to become a reality, it would set a real nasty precedent. We already have a sea of people crying about a chicks hair color in their favorite game and getting away with it, people swamping companies like Nintendo with millions of requests for RPG's on a system that is effectively dead, and even millions of dollars in donations dictating which designers get to make games. Some of these things could be construed as positive, but there is one real bit of nastiness behind it all; a gross display of irresponsible consumerism.
Part of what I do in my free time is hang out in retro centric forums, specifically places like Sega-16. Recently there was some controversy there over a homebrew developers new system for developing games. Essentially, you would pay for a kind of fake "currency" which you would then use in any amount of your choosing to essentially decide the direction the company would take on their next game. So if you donated, say, five hundred dollars of this currency, and your "bid" was the highest, they would make the game in the genre type you had selected, even getting down to the details of how big the Sega cartridge itself would be. Myself and a few others were questioning this idea, and were a minority, for one simple reason; having your fans decide what you should make is generally about as effective and inspired as asking a four year old what he would want to see in a film. The suggestions were varied and some of them were good, but how can their be any kind of motiviation or creative spark on the part of the developers when they are
literally being paid
to implement certain ideas?
The more frightening part is how many people were immediately willing to part with large sums of money just to see this happen. They were paying money to later pay money for a product they had had paid to see designed. In reality, the game payed for itself based on their donation, so they wouldn't have to fork out an extra 50 bones when it was finally be released, but the concept is still so bizarre for me, and indicative of, at least I feel, how careless some people are. There is the meme of "shut up and take my money" which is a fairly accurate tongue in cheek depiction of just how obsessed we are with our material possessions. Just like everyone else, I have had moments of weakness where I payed an inordinate amount for what ended up being a fairly stupid decision on my part; it's only natural, and something everybody does from time to time. I just feel sometimes it gets out of hand; to the point where we feel our money is worth more than the end product, such as an already lengthy and well made game where, because of some stupid ending, we get all up in arms and demand retribution.
What people fail to realize is that these companies owe you nothing, they don't care what YOU want. When Nintendo announces they are releasing Xenoblade, it isn't time to kiss their ass all day like Operation Rainfall might want you to think and starting tossing your money away on Nintendo shit. They did it because they saw a potential fiscal opportunity, all at the expense of a bunch of loud mouths who wanted them to "shut up and take their money." When Nintendo saw just how many people were willing to pay it forward, they were licking their lips and swooping over us like vultures. And at the end of the day, Xenoblade and The Last Story are not going to change lives. They are going to end up being decent games like any other which will promptly be shelved by most, and sold off by a few previously over excited few. There will even probably be a bunch of dickheads like the folks at Bioware who let the hype get to them, who expected the second coming of Christ, and who will be ultimately disappointed and bitchy that what they got was just another half decent RPG.
They will do it because people are spoiled. When they finally get the bottle they are crying for, they will cry because there is no chocolate milk in it. You can give them everything they ever ask, but they will only keep wanting more. So kudos to Bioware for being exactly what they are; yet another developer looking for your hard earned money, and trying to create a decent, memorable product along the way. Kudos to Nintendo for cashing in on an opportunity, and thoroughly milking a bunch of chumps who have more cash in their hands then they do in their bank account.
It's only deserved because these people are practically begging for it. The fact is, you don't HAVE to give them what they want, whether it's a new game or a good ending to a new game; because they have a constant hole being burned in their pockets, they will give you their money regardless. There were so many people bitching about how "ME3 is gunna SUCK" way before it ever came out, yet every single one of those cocksure hypocrites payed 60 dollars for it anyways, bitched about how bad it was, yet will probably buy every single piece of DLC ever created for it. They'll do it because they are consumers, because all they know how to do is consume. If the people bitching about ME3 had such a problem with the story, is it too much to ask that they try to create something of superior value?
Yes it is, because you can't buy that kind of ownership at a store. And for some of these people, that is all they are capable of doing.

The Vandalia High School girls basketball team and the Vandalia Junior High boys basketball teams will not play tonight. In addition, icy road conditions have given the St. Elmo Holiday Tournament another setback.

Against Hillsboro last Thursday, the Vandals fell behind 30-14 at halftime. They did score 25 points in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to overcome the early deficit in a 60-52 loss.
On Saturday, Vandalia traveled to Neoga and held a 20-18 halftime lead, but the Indians scored 36 second-half points en route to a 54-44 win.
The South Central High School girls basketball team will play Woodlawn in its home opener on Saturday at 2 p.m. after that game was canceled on Monday.

The M90 was speed restricted to 40mph for most of the time we were on it due to roadworks, but it didn't cause any major problems.
