Are the iPhone 5 buttons weak?
Purchased my iPhone 5 (32 GB, White) in early November last year, had absolutely no problems with it, loved using it. Came to about 2 weeks ago and the lock button started playing up, only slightly, but this worsened as it always does and it eventually became unusable around last weekend so I booked into a genius appointment on Monday.
Went to the appointment, got my phone replaced no questions asked. And now I sit here 3 days later with a phone that I want to throw against a wall. This time, the home button has stopped working all together. This wasn't a gradual problem, worked fine one minute and then not at all after. I've got another genius appointment tomorrow for my mac, so going to see what they say tomorrow, will be asking for a refund if they do not replace it. Trekked to my nearest Apple Store 3 times the last week for genius appointments, really not amused! Has anybody else had any problems with the buttons on the iPhone 5 or have I just been unlucky?

I haven't had a problem with it, and I haven't heard of anyone else having trouble either.

Two of the past iPhone 5s I've had prior to replacement had power/lock buttons that were sunk in. They literally were sunk in to the phone. Then the last one had a home button that would only press on the left side, the right side was jammed. On my fourth replacement now and the phone is flawless, finally. Really not what I expected a $750 phone to put me through.

Got a new iPhone 5 today from apple. Lock button gradually quit working. First I had to push it at an angle to get it to lock, then it quit working completely.
On the upside, Apple was great. Sent me another phone in 2 days. |

If it makes you feel any better, this is a pretty common problem with smartphones in general. It's kinda ironic considering they have just one or two buttons to function, and yet somehow they screw that up anyway. xD
The power and home buttons on smartphones should be extremely durable and made to outlast the phone, not some piece of junk. Sorry to hear you had to deal with that, and unfortunately nobody yet makes phones with good power buttons.

Got one on Craigslist with the lock problem. Saw three people in line that day with the same problem, so it doesn't seem to be uncommon. Thankfully apple offers great customer service

Ignore him, this "Dude" takes every opportunity to trash Apple (and this is a problem for them as you indicated) and play up the competition even when they have the same problem.

OP I had the same issue, the power button just randomly started acting up. Like most said before, get a Genius appointment and get it switched out. I just did this yesterday and they swapped it no questions asked.

Stumbled on this thread because just this morning my Sleep/Wake button started acting up.
Worked 100% flawless since launch day, then randomly this morning if I press on the right side of the button, nothing happens. Left half of the button works fine. These are the times when I'm glad Apple is always pretty good with warranty issues. I've had Home button issues with multiple iP4's in the past... I'm not that worked up about it... they get used hard. |

Same here, launch day phone, perfect condition, Sleep/Wake button has started not responding and is getting gradually worse.
Funny how these threads have started to pop up now. Have a genius appointment on Monday. Saying that if the Sleep/Wake button fails every few months that means I'll keep getting a mint condition replacement every so often. Great for resale value IPHONE 5 ONLY 2MONTHS OLD!

Just to say the genius took one look after hearing my story and replaced the phone, he did however tell me that they now repair home button issues on the 5.
Got a flawless replacement with both buttons behaving up to now. Absolutely love the phone except for the issues I had. |

My iPhone 5 started having this problem about a month ago. Got it on release day. Left side of button works fine and the middle to right doesn't work at all. Should I get it replaced or should I wait until they fix the issues with the refurbs too?
Or have they fixed this hardware problem already on the newer models? |

Yea, I kinda like the idea of them fixing them. If you have an otherwise flawless phone, that's ok.. I dunno about the 5, but the 4 unscrewed apart. Does the 5?
When my first Note 2's power button stopped working I REALLY wanted to just replace the button since the phone was great otherwise, but since it was so new I didn't want to do that... kinda wish I had now lol.

The 6441 is commendably cheap for a laptop with a Blu-ray drive and a 17-inch screen. But, with a poor-quality keyboard and trackpad, and a relatively slow processor and graphics, it's hard to avoid the feeling that Advent compromised on quality in pursuit of a low price tag Read more

Firefighters in Genesee County say a father rescued himself and his four children from a burning house in Pavilion. It happened shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday on Telephone Road near Linwood Road.
Firefighters said when they arrived, flames were shooting from the first and second story windows.
Firefighters say they believe the fire started when the children tipped over a kerosene heater on the first floor. They then ran upstairs.
"The father lowered the children down off the roof and then he proceeded to jump off the roof, at which point, he sustained a minor back injury," said Chief Paul Dougherty of the Pavilion Fire Department.
Firefighters say the home is a total loss.

Hot flashes are a common and chronic problem for many women who are also dealing with breast cancer. We know that both chemotherapy and hormonal therapy can cause a sudden and early menopause. We also know that some women who have already experienced a natural menopause have the "good luck" of getting to do it a second time after these medications.
Hot flashes are an excellent example of "everyone is different"--meaning that no two women experience the exact same syndrome. Some women have none, some women have few or minor ones, and some women are tortured. Women who have intense hot flashes often complain of interrupted sleep, sometimes many times/night, and/ or turning beet red and sweaty while in the company of others.
As I have written before, Charles Loprinzi, MD at the Mayo Clinic is the hot flash maven for women who have had breast cancer. If you Google his name, you will get a long list of articles that you can read if you choose. The bottom line is that there are many treatments that help some women some of the time, and no single treatment that helps everyone forever.
This is a report from Reuters about the growing choice of women post breast cancer to treat their hot flashes with anti-depressants (WARNING: if you are taking Tamoxifen, talk carefully with your doctor about this as there are a few anti-depressants that may interfere with Tamoxifen's efficacy). I am including an excerpt and then a link to read more:

People complaining about the parts being green need to stop whining! It doesn't specifically say, so you assume it is green (meaning very wet), or you email customer service like I did and ask! All exotic woods are green/wet! And on top of that being a wood turner you should know that you don't just take a green piece of wood, remove the wax, go to town carving it, and leave it to air dry - that is how checking happens! It is in wax for a reason!

Police Training Is Critical For Traffic Stopsfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Katy Brown Web Producer: Heath Harrison Reported: Oct. 20, 2013 5:52 PM EDT Updated: Oct. 20, 2013 9:58 PM EDT
South Charleston
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
A Nitro police officer is still on the job after a close call with gunfire last week. Officer Timmy Jarrell made a routine traffic stop around 2 a.m. Tuesday along Interstate 64. As he started to approach the car he'd stopped, the driver started shooting at him. One of those shots hit Jarrell's patrol car and he fired back two shots, but the suspect took off. Police have been looking for the suspect, who was driving a gray late 80s or 90s model mustang with no license plate. Many have come in, but, so far, the driver or car hasn't been found. This incident was certainly a close call for Jarrell and his police K-9 dog named Bullett, but it also raises questions about how drivers should respond during a traffic stop. Before police officers ever put on a uniform, they go through a lot of training, and every bit of their education is critical, for not only your safety, but theirs as well, even if it's something as simple as pulling you over. You never want to see flashing lights behind you, but, for police officers, pulling over drivers breaking the law is just part of the job every day. South Charleston patrolwoman Nikki Rowe said learning to do a traffic stop the right way starts at the state police academy, long before you even take to the streets. "They show us exactly how we should handle each situation," Rowe said. "They go over a lot of scenarios, what we should and shouldn't do." And early Tuesday morning, that training was put to the test for one local officer in Nitro. While approaching a vehicle during a stop, Jarrell was shot at twice. Luckily, his car mirror was the only thing that took a hit. But it's a scary situation that can quickly become a reality for any police officer. "You just have try to protect yourself and everyone around you," Rowe said. "He did a really good job of getting out of the way, and doing what he could to get all the information out to other officers, so we could try to stop the vehicle before he did anything else to anybody else." And took make sure she's prepared for whatever may happen, Rowe refers back to her police training often. "We have to be sure to not be in what they call the kill zone," she said. "When we approach the vehicle, the person in the vehicle, you have to pay attention to how many people are in the vehicle, what they're doing and you have to keep your eyes on the hands. There are just a lot of factors you just never know what's going to happen." One trick of the trade, officers will usually touch the back of your vehicle, leaving their mark behind should the worst happen. But no matter the unknown, there's only one goal in mind. "We're not there to try to ruin your day," Rowe said. "We're just trying to make sure everybody goes home safe at the end of the day." Rowe also offered some tips for drivers.

Located at Hawkshaw Farm Park, on the A59 between Blackburn and Preston, the park offers a fiendish feast of heart-pumping attractions that will delight thrill seekers, families and children. Created by the twisted minds at AtmosFEAR! Entertainment Group - www.atmosfearuk.com, Lancashire's masters of the macabre, Scare Kingdom Scream Park 2011 promises more attractions than ever before.
With six all new attractions, timed entry meaning no queuing and a range of devilish discounts, Scare Kingdom Scream Park is the North West's true home of Halloween this year!
After the sell out success of 2009 and 2010, an appearance on BBC1's Countryfile and more recently Virgin 1's Duncan Bannatyne's Seaside Rescue, the scream team behind the park are pushing all known boundaries for 2011 combining claustrophobia, physical contact and state of the art special effects to create an extreme scream experience at night, and a family friendly treat during the day.
Planning for the park's third season began in October 2010, under the guidance of Creative Director and TV presenter Jason Karl, he said "this year looks set to be our scariest yet, with a whole host of horrifying attractions to entertain every type of guest, from those seeking a heart pounding fear fest, to those seeking light hearted spooky fun, Scare Kingdom caters for all, and is currently the UK's only scream park offering all new attractions each and every year".
During the October half term, Scare Kingdom opens daily when the emphasis is on fun rather than fear and delivers Halloween entertainment designed for those aged 10 and under.
Taking place in The Purple Pumpkin Theatre, Hocus Pocus - Magic is Alive! invites guests to join the friendly witch Pink Hazel and Firefang the friendly Dragon, as they search for a spellcaster to help them wake up the magic mirror. The show combines audience interactivity, music and storytelling in a colourful setting hosted by a friendly live performer, as well as hand and digital puppets to create a spooky seasonal treat which is both magical and spooky in equal measure.
The Wicked Witch Cafe will be open during the day, where a suitably spooky selection of seasonal hot and cold drinks, food and confectionery will be available; and make sure you don't miss Sir Scare-a-Lot, our wandering happy haunt, who will mix and mingle with park guests and provide a unique photograph opportunity along with Pink Hazel after the show.
Daytime guests can also enjoy free entrance to Hawkshaw Farm Park to see a variety of animals after the show.
After dark, Scare Kingdom becomes a nightmare world, where terror lurks around every corner. Four all-new headlining scare attractions combine live scareactors, special effects, sounds and even smells to create a unique four-dimensional assault on the senses, plus our waltzer ride returns for its second year running.
Voodoo Bayou - The Ultimate SACRIFICE! - Hidden in the deep Louisiana harvest, New Orleans aristocrat and legendary murderess, Delphine La Laurie continues her barbarous undertakings. After fleeing her blood soaked mansion in New Orleans, she is hell bent on rebuilding her horror house in the zombie ridden bayou. You must venture through the swampy cornfield, avoiding the deathly glare of the Voodoo King, Baron Samedi towards an encounter with Delphine herself...
Day of the Dead - Festival of Phantoms - Corpses in an earthy bed will rise on the Day of the Dead... and you are invited to join the deadly dance macabre for a spirited celebration of Mexico's ancient horror-day. Navigate a twisting pathway through the spectral sites of Mexico's haunted past. Follow a ghostly glow through the Dumb Supper and into the Graveyard, and witness the wedding of two long lost lovers in this saunter through the spirit world.
HMS Hell - Shipwreck of Souls - Delve beneath the waves and board the creaking wreck of HMS Hellinor, a once celebrated ocean liner that disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle in 1913. Navigate the barnacle encrusted corridors and the rust ridden boiler rooms, but beware, the horrors of a horrific past still linger amidst the bloody seawater, in an unquiet underwater hell...
Blood Bath II - The Meat Locker - The terror of Blood Bath, our headlining 2009 attraction, returns for 2011, bigger than even before. Descend into the blood soaked meat locker where Dr Cornelius Van Der Blood's maniacal minions continue in their diabolic pseudo medical-occult experiments. AtmosFEAR! Entertainment Group's largest ever indoor scare attraction is even more extreme than in 2009, combining tactile effects, claustrophobic environments, high theming and an intense culmination of twisted terror that will push you to the very limits of fear itself...
The Cauldron Stir up a storm on our whirling waltzer ride, if you have the stomach for it! (extra charge applies).
In addition to the headlining attractions, Scare Kingdom offers a variety of additional entertainment designed to ensure guests have an experience to remember; LuciFEAR's Mirror - Meet LuciFEAR, The Angel of Hell as he manifests in the magic mirror. Street Theatre - come face to face Professor Octavious Highgate, the crazed ghost hunter, Svengouli the killer clown and endure an audience with Bloody Mary as you pass through her throne room at the entrance to the park. New for 2011 - Bloody Mary's Bar - recover from your experience in our licensed bar, serving hot and cold food, alcoholic and soft drinks (extra charges apply). Visit our new merchandise area for a scary souvenir programme, key rings, t-shirts and monstrous Scare Bears!

During my time in New York City last week, I had the pleasure to attend a special event hosted by Cosmos for Latinas at Macy's Herald Square to celebrate the beauty and culture of Brasil. As part of their "Brasil: A Magical Journey" campaign, Macy's has put together an amazing display of limited-edition capsule collections created by renowned Brazilian designers, Brazil-inspired fashion from other designers, including existing Macy's brands.
After a brief introduction from Donna Kalajian Lagani, editor-in-chief and SVP, publishing director and chief revenue officer of Cosmopolitan and Michelle Herrera Mulligan, Editor-In-Chief of Cosmo For Latinas, I got to meet with many of the beauty brands participating in the campaign including Estee Lauder, Clarins, Shiseido, Lancome, and Coty Fragrances.
I want to pick a favorite to tell you all about but I just can't! I'm a Miami girl and in love with bursts of color so everything I'm about to share with you is totally a "must buy." Plus, I've been to Brazil and think this is the perfect way to experience all the beauty and electricity that the South American country has to offer without sitting 9 hours on a plane and spending large amounts of money on travel expenses!
Estee Lauder's Brasil Dream is sultry, provocative, and intoxicating. The collection features limited-edition products from Tom Pecheau, Estee Lauder's Creative Makeup Director. It includes their Pure Color Blush, Pure Color Gloss, Pure Color Crystal Lipstick, Pure Color Nail Lacquers, and their Brasil Dream Fragrance.
Lancome wants to give you bold and vibrant eyes with their Eyes of Brazil Summer Eye Look Set. Dress your eyes with 3 Color Design Sensational Effects Eye Shadows, and intensify your gaze with perfectly lined eyes with Le Crayon Khôl EyeLiner. Finally, get dramatic volume with Hypnôse Drama Instant Full Body Volume Mascara for big, battable lashes.
Calvin Klein released three fragrances that are inspired by Brasil, Eternity Summer for Men and Women and CK One Summer for Women. I received Eternity Summer for Women in my gift bag and its become my signature scent of the season!
Another new love comes from Shiseido by way of their Sun Protection Compact Foundation. Not only does shade #34 match my skin perfectly but it also has SPF 34!! Cut down one step in my beauty regimen? YES please!
I wore this pressed powder for the rest of my time in the Big Apple and it really lasted longer than any other press powder I've ever used.
Clarins introduced us to their Sun Collection that will help consumers achieve a hot Brazilian tan the safe way. You can get their Gelee Auto-Bronzante Express Self Tanning Gel ($34), Sunscreen for Face Wrinkle Control Cream with SPF 15, and Sunscreen Care Oil-Fre Lotion Spray with SPF 15.
Clarins also has their Sexy Summer Silhouette Set available for $39.50 which features a 4-piece set of travel-ready size bottles of their High Definition Body Lift, Smoothing Body Scrub, Moisture-Rich Body Lotion, and Hand & Nail Treatment Cream.
These products will work perfectly with your summer working out while preparing to get in bikini shape!

Self-Stirring Coffee Mug For The Fingerless

The mugs are made by Gevalia, a company best known for convincing me to sign up for their coffee of the month club through the use of a well placed late-night infomercial featuring a sexy saleswoman with a sultry voice. Anyway, the $19 mug features a special base that runs on two AAA batteries and promises "to gently stir your beverage at the push of a button". Now call me crazy, but what kind of gentle stir creates a freaking whirlpool in your beverage? That picture looks like a blender set on the highest setting. You'd have hot beverage in your lap quicker than you could say "I'm suing you McDonalds because I'm a stupid asshole and the coffee you served me was hot." Still, I'm buying one. Mostly because, unlike that pussy James Bond, I like my martinis stirred -- and served in 12-ounce mugs. Suck it Bond, you couldn't even spy on your own girlfriend in the shower.

When the coffee cup is cold it's black and reads "OFF", when a hot liquid is poured inside, it turns white and reads "ON". Pretty clever, huh? I'm not impressed either. But my girlfriend went bonkers over this, claiming it's the best invention of her lifetime (she's dumb as ... / Continue →

Women's DI Club Finalists Named This Weekend |
Clubs - Women's Clubs | ||||
The field has narrowed down to eight, and by Sunday afternoon, only two DI women's clubs will still be in the running for the national title. USA Rugby had wrestled with an appropriate playoff structure since the formation of the Women's Premier League, and after two years of giving the top four ranked teams a bye through the round of 16, 2011 marks the first year that the tournament will begin with quarterfinals. One benefit is the uptick in competitiveness right from the get-go. Below are the quarterfinal matchups and a prediction on each:
ORSU v North Shore "We are traveling a little lighter than we had hoped with 19," ORSU coach Jarred Power said, "but we have a good core of players motivated to get the job done. The couple weeks off and close match with Belmont has helped us refocus." Where ORSU is looking to rebound, Chicago North Shore is trying to keep its positive momentum going forward. After starting the season 0-2, last year's third-place team rallied with a 4-0 streak to finish third in CR2. "The team is feeling pretty good," North Shore's Jenny Lui said. "We're traveling with a full squad and everyone's excited to play." Since North Shore's success evolved later in the season, it'll be interesting to see whether the squad can put a full 80 minutes of rugby together yet. Lui said the past few weeks of practice have geared toward shoring up the defense and point of contact. "ORSU is a tough team with some experienced players," Lui continued. "We're going to have to play aggressively as one collective unit and take care of the 'baby.' We've had chunks of good rugby all season, but now is the time for everything to come together and click." We're looking forward to a showdown between some of the game's most well know players, mainly ORSU's Beckett Royce and San Juanita Moreno against North Shore's Pam Kosanke and Teena Mastrangelo. While it's a tough call, we're giving the slight edge to ORSU. Regardless, a physical game will ensue and the shallow Oregon squad will certainly feel the effects on day two.
NOVA v Seattle "Each time it has been a tough, tightly contested match, and I don't expect this one to be any different," NOVA coach Brian Walker said. "I'm sure they will be prepared and ready to play hard just like we are. I have a huge amount of respect for their program. Seattle is very good at capitalizing on mistakes. We made too many last year and we paid for it. For us to be successful, we need to make smart decisions, play good defense, and execute cleanly in attack." Walker feels his side is better prepared for this meeting, as quality depth has hampered the team in years past. "We have more than 15 capable starters, which is critical in a tournament format like this," Walker said. "That depth has let us try out different combinations in our lineups all year, and has let us slot in effectively in the event of players being unavailable for certain matches. Our success this year has been because of the emphasis on balanced team play, and not a star system. Some weeks that success has been in the forwards and other weeks it has been in the backs." Kaitlin Joerger, Rachel Warden and Rose Daley have all been routinely mentioned as stalwarts in the forwards, while veterans Lauren Hoeck and Amber Benlian have anchored the backline. UVA grad Erica Cavanaugh has been a nice addition to NOVA's outside attack as well. Seattle is looking just as strong as last year, with their lone league loss coming at the hands of ORSU (24-10). The Breakers will be no easy opponent for NOVA, especially behind the leadership of scrumhalf Carrie White and standouts like Megan Sanders, wing Brianna Osetinsky and flanker Alison Miller. Even though it's a difficult choice, this match goes to NOVA. Last year's game occurred on day two of the first round; Seattle had a bye through the first round, while NOVA had to play to advance. That said, the tables are pretty even. In the other pool, the games are slightly easier to predict – not that they won't be hotly contested.
Glendale v Belmont Shore Glendale cruised through league season, but the one downside to that dominance is a lack of time spent on defense. "We've been spending a good amount of time on defense the last few weeks, and hope to see improvement in the areas we targeted," Glendale coach Lisa Rosen said. "We've also spent time improving our support play. We know that the line breaks will be much harder to come by this weekend so we want to convert as much as we can into points." Despite some soft-tissue injuries, the team will be traveling with its full squad, a roster that lists familiar names like Jill Potter, Kitt Wagner, Hannah Stolba and Tyra McGrady. And those are only the names with national team experience. Glendale has ridiculous depth, which will greatly aid their success on Sunday. "As far as advancing to final four and beyond, that is certainly our aspiration," Rosen said. "The team is focused and eager for the next challenge. Belmont however will have something to say about whether we advance. The Raptors have not faced them before and given Belmont's recent performance against ORSU we will not be taking anything for granted. We are all excited to play a new opponent and expect a great match." Belmont's win over ORSU was certainly impressive; however, it was mildly suspect given that ORSU traveled extremely lightly and had already locked up a seed at nationals. Takes nothing away from the Landsharks, but they should be outclassed on Saturday.
Atlanta v Austin "Preparations have gone well, the team is ready to just get out there and play," Atlanta coach Jason Payne said. "We've spend the past two weeks building on the fundamentals and positional depth, not a lot of specific discussions in regards to our opponents. The key for us, as it has been all season, is to keep building on the basics of our attack and defense, keep growing as individual players and trusting each other as a team." As much as Payne and players haven't been focusing on opponents, they know of Austin's large, aggressive pack, as well as their firepower in the backs, especially their speedy back three. Austin also has the advantage of playing at home and will certainly look to impress their local fans. "In regards to Sunday's match-up, we haven't put much thought into it yet," Payne said. "I know Glendale are favorites in their match and are a very solid squad all around, but at this point all that matters is how we come out playing against Austin. I'm sure Belmont will not be bowing down to Glendale, and any of the other matches could go either way as well." It's going to be a very exciting weekend of rugby, and no matchup is a given. "The overall strength of the D1 teams at this tournament is the best it has been since the WPL split," Walker opined. "It's reflected in the number of WPL players who have chosen to return to D1 programs this year, and I've been very pleased to see the success that San Diego has had since moving up to the WPL. This weekend is going to see a lot of great games, and as a fan of the game as well as being a coach I can't wait to see what happens in the other matches." Stay tuned for all of the live coverage. |

Jake Kupp, New Orleans Saints Offensive Guard, 1967-1975
Despite being the last original members of the Inaugural 1967 New Orleans Saints Squad, Jake Kupp almost didn't become a Saint. After being chosen in the 1967 Expansion Draft, before the season even started, he was traded away to the Atlanta Falcons. Midway through the season he was traded back to the Saints. He remained in the Saints organization until 1975 when he retired.
Jake enjoyed a remarkable career at the University of Washington. As a Huskie he played offensive tackle, tight end and even wide receiver. He also pitched for the baseball team and played in the 1964 Rose Bowl against Illinois. Drafted as a wide receiver by Dallas in the ninth round, he was switched to guard. He stayed with Dallas until 1966 when he went to Washington. After which he was chosen by the Saints.
In his 8 seasons with the Saints, Jake played 106 games, made the Pro-Bowl in 1969 and team MVP in 1970. He is a member of the Saints Hall of Fame and Saint's All-40th Anniversary team.

Movie stars Jeremy Irons and Viola Davis are featured in the movie "Beautiful Creatures." The real star, however, is the 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300D.
The car's nickname is "Adenauer" in honor of Konrad Adenauer, the West German Chancellor from 1949 to 1963. Mike Marsh, the current owner of the stretched hardtop limousine, purchased the Mercedes-Benz in the spring of 2009 and had this prize trucked to his home in Mississippi. He explains the "D" model is 4 inches longer than a regular sedan, with all of the extra length built into the rear passenger area.
The rear seat passengers not only have extra legroom, but also have a pull-down armrest. With grand windows, the occupants of the car are quite visible. When all windows are lowered the occupants in the Mercedes are visible to spectators. The only obstructions to viewing the occupants are the two quarter windows at the rear of the passenger compartment. Those windows can be removed in order to give the public an unobstructed view of who is riding inside of the vehicle.
When new the 1960 Mercedes was priced at $10,864, says Marsh, and he believes the 30,000 miles recorded on the odometer are accurate.
The Mercedes-Benz is equipped with power-assisted steering and power-assisted brakes. Surprisingly, there is no air conditioning. Mounted in the dashboard is the original Becker radio.
"The woodwork is magnificent," Marsh observes. Among the other instruments in the handsome dashboard, the 300D's speedometer is prepared to register speeds up to 120 miles per hour. The upholstery is luxurious saddle tan leather with a complementary tan/beige carpet. The two-spoke steering wheel supports a 360-degree chrome-plated horn ring.
Mercedes-Benz factory literature describes the soft yellow color of the paint covering the car as "crme." The 4,300-pound weight of the stretched car is spread evenly over its 17-foot length. The 15-inch wheels support the Mercedes-Benz on a wheelbase that is just a hair longer than 124 inches. White sidewall tires add a touch of period class.
Power from the 182.6-cubic-inch, six-cylinder overhead cam engine is delivered to the rear-drive wheels via a Borg-Warner automatic transmission. The owner explains the transmission was a first for Mercedes-Benz "D" models from 1957 to 1963. To keep the internal parts of the engine clean the engine is capped with an oil bath air cleaner.
Stylish touches of chrome trim are unmistakably Mercedes-Benz from the three-pointed star on the hood to the twin reflectors at the rear of the car. The lengthy chrome spears atop the front fenders accent the curves of the fenders.
"I really like the chrome," Marsh admits. Another feature of which he is fond is the self-lubricating front end that can be activated by the driver.
Starting the engine, Marsh says, can be very tricky. The gear shift lever must be in the neutral position before inserting the key into the ignition. Then the driver must push the key forward toward the front of the car, rather than turning the key.
"It can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in about an hour," March jokes. "It takes it's time."

Missing Michigan teen found in Crestwood
A Michigan teenager is no longer missing, and the man who allegedly took her out of state is in custody.
Police had notified the media that 13-year-old Rachel Marie Baker might be in danger, after the Hamilton girl apparently took off overnight with a 34-year-old California man she had met on the Internet. Police were keeping an eye out for a burnt-orange 1999 Ford Mustang with an expired California license plate that they believed Joseph Arpin was driving.
Allegan County Sheriff's Captain Frank Baker explains to WRJW radio how they found the pair, "They were working with the Crestwood Police Department after receiving information that the suspect may be in that area."
"As a result, with the assistance of the Crestwood Police Department, the suspect was stopped and a convenience store and he was arrested," said Baker
Arpin will be extradited to Michigan to face charges for taking the girl out of state without parental permission.
Hunt widens for suspected Calif. killer, abductor
LAKESIDE, Calif. (AP) — Amber Alerts expanded to Oregon and Washington as authorities searched for a Southern California man suspected of abducting a 16-year-old girl and wanted in the death of the girl's mother and possibly her 8-year-old brother.
Oregon state police said there was a possible sighting of James Lee DiMaggio's blue Nissan Versa in northeast California near Alturas on Wednesday, followed by another about 50 miles along the same highway near Lakeview, in south-central Oregon.
Investigators have said DiMaggio may be headed to Texas or Canada with 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and possibly her 8-year-old brother Ethan, though investigators said a charred body discovered along with the mother could be the boy.
Also Wednesday, a friend of Hannah Anderson said DiMaggio told Hannah he had a crush on her and would date her if they were the same age.
DiMaggio explained that he didn't want the girls to think he was weird in an effort to defend himself after noticing they exchanged glances, 15-year-old Marissa Chavez said. She said he spoke while driving them home from a high school gymnastics meet a couple months ago.
Hannah Anderson asked Chavez to join her from then on whenever DiMaggio, 40, drove her to meets.
"She was a little creeped out by it. She didn't want to be alone with him," Chavez said.
DiMaggio was like an uncle to Hannah and 8-year-old Ethan. He was very close with their parents for years.
On Sunday night, authorities found the body of 42-year-old Christina Anderson when they extinguished flames at DiMaggio's rural home. A child's body was found as they sifted through rubble in Boulevard, a tiny town 65 miles east of San Diego on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The child's body has not been identified but it may be Ethan, sheriff's Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said late Tuesday.
Christina Anderson's father, Christopher Saincome, said Wednesday that his daughter visited DiMaggio's home last weekend to say goodbye before he moved to Texas. DiMaggio, who works as a telecommunications technician at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, was a regular presence at the Anderson family apartment in Lakeside, a suburb of 54,000 people.
"He must have had this planned," Saincome said.
Saincome said nothing seemed amiss when he called his daughter at work Friday to let her know she didn't call on his birthday. Anderson, a medical assistant, said she would call back that night but never did.
Investigators had no evidence that the relationship between DiMaggio and the missing girl was more than friendly.
"We're not looking into that directly at this point," Giannantonio said.
DiMaggio is wanted on suspicion of murder and arson in a search that began in Southern California and spread to Mexico and neighboring states.
DiMaggio's sister, Lora Robinson, told U-T San Diego that the allegations against her brother were "completely out of character." She said he spent four years in the Navy, left the service to care for her after their mother died of cancer, and volunteered rescuing animals.
"He is the kindest person in the world," Robinson said.
Endangered Person Advisory: Naked teen flees Christian Hospital

Police say the teen was taken to the hospital at Dunn Road and Highway-367 after attempting suicide. But he escaped. He was last seen heading north.
Echols is described as black, with a medium complexion, black hair and brown eyes. He's five-seven and 133-pounds. Police say he wasn't wearing any clothes when he took off.
Anyone with information is urged to call 9-1-1.
St. Louis teen missing in Daytona Beach, Florida
The search continues for a St. Louis-area teen who has been missing in Florida since Saturday.
Police said 17-year-old Nicole Crowder was last seen in Daytona Beach in the company of a man and woman. Volusia County authorities said she was in Florida with her sister to visit her mother.
Police said Crowder has the mental capacity of a 9-year-old and takes medication for ADHD and bi-polar disorder, but does not have her medications with her.
Daytona police say the teen was last seen with as a black man who is 30-years-old, bald, has a medium build, and gold teeth. The female is described as having a dark complexion, appears to be in her late teens, and was wearing a black bathing suit.
If you have any information about Crowder's whereabouts, please contact the Volusia County Sheriff's Office at (386)248-1777.
Police searching for missing teen
Police are asking for help to find a missing Oakville Teen.
According to his father, Timothy Corcoran was last seen around 11 AM Friday. His dad came home at noon and found a note saying he had gone to lunch with a friend. That note also indicated that Timothy may harm himself.
Timothy is a white male, 16 years old, 6'1" tall, and 130 pounds. He has blue eyes and blonde hair. He was last seen wearing a black Cardinals cap, white t-shirt, and tan shorts.
Anyone with information is asked to call St. Louis County Police at 314.889.2341, or call 911.
Missing St. Peter's teen might be with registered sex offender
St. Peter's Police Department is asking for your help in finding an endangered teen who may be with a registered sex offender.
Police are searching for 16-year-old Molly Linhardt who was reported missing by her parents Monday. They dropped her off at work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken of Jungermann Road to later find out she was not scheduled to be there.

Things here at This, That and Other Things have been quite abuzz but all of the changes that have occurred in the store have been a blast as well!

To that end, I'm pleased to tell you that we've added Green To Grow to our store.

What is AmeCon?
AmeCon is the UK's largest residential convention dedicated to the celebration of Japanese Animation and Comics, and the community that these media bring together. We try to be a little bit country, and a little bit rock'n'roll - well, maybe a lot rock'n'roll, but that's beside the point.
The weekend-long timetable is chock-full of attendee-run events providing new insights, or alternative viewpoints, on a variety of related subjects. Either way, they are a great way to meet likeminded people who love the same things you do.
Our infamous nightly parties provide ample opportunity to kick back and get your groove on with friends, old and new. Folks coming to AmeCon might only see each other once or twice a year, so we do everything we can to make it a weekend to remember!
Above all else, AmeCon is an event that is run by fans, for fans, and would be nothing without the fans. Every penny AmeCon receives goes into making the event that bit more special for the hundreds of attendees who return year on year. If you want to know more about AmeCon, have a poke about the site or the forum, or drop us an email!

The world exhales a stark and lonely breath this time of year. Trees as gray and naked as your great grandmother's bones line the Las Vegas Plaza.
February makes you consider the world through muddy-colored glasses. Everyone's a world-class curmudgeon with spit to share. Everyone wants spring, wants tulips and dandelions to sprout from aching, frozen brain. Any groundhog will tell you that you ain't gonna get your wish, not for at least four weeks and most likely six.

Sustainable Las Vegas will be holding their their Annual Sustainable Homes Tour (formerly Solar Homes Tour) on Saturday, Jan. 22. The goal for the tour is to show people real-life examples of utilizing solar energy, and "sustainability" more generally. These examples range from very low- to higher-tech: drying clothes on clotheslines, growing plants, passive solar heating and cooling, active solar water heating, photovoltaic (solar electric) installations, rainwater catcheent, and water and energy efficiency.
In their petition seeking to secure the San Miguel del Bado Land Grant in 1794, the 52 colonists stated as their primary reason that there was not sufficient water in Santa Fe to sustain the growing population and livestock there. (It appears that drought and an adequate water supply were problems even then). The petitioners also stated that many of them owned small parcels of land in Santa Fe, but it was not sufficient to support their large families.
Every Monday morning since January 2010, I have recounted the history of Las Vegas and San Miguel County over the airwaves of KFUN/KLVF. Tom McDonald has now invited me to do the same thing in a weekly column for the Optic, and we begin that journey today. This column is the first in what we hope will be a long-running series bringing to life the history of our area.

West Las Vegas Middle School Principal Steve Sandoval said kids in the Builders Club try to build a lot of goodwill in the community by doing good works.
"Students are actively involved in community service and service to their school," Sandoval said.

"To better my school, my community, my nation and myself; to aid those in need while enhancing leadership capabilities; and to encourage the fellowship of all mankind," the pledge reads.
Sapello-Rociada Fire Chief Kayt Peck says she believes she is the first woman to hold that title in San Miguel County.
She said she has checked records and could find no indications that other women have served in that role in the county.
Peck learned her firefighting skills at one of the U.S. Navy's renowned firefighting training school. After the disastrous fire aboard the USS Forestall during the Vietnam War, sailors received extensive training in putting out all types of fires.

Judy Cordova-Romero had big dreams when she first came to Highlands University, and many of her dreams to make campus life better for students came true during her tenure.
As Highlands University vice president for student affairs, Cordova-Romero was an advocate for the new residence hall that students enjoy today. She pushed for a new student center that had its groundbreaking ceremony Monday. And her dreams of refurbishing the Felix Martinez building into a one-stop shop for students' needs came true during a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week.
What would it take to lure renowned musicians into one's home? What if they were Arturo Toscaninni, considered by many as the greatest conductor ever to wave a baton, or George and Ira Gershwin, renowned lyricist and pianist and the beloved clarinet player, Benny Goodman?

Christine Craft writes in the San Francisco Chronicle, "While sexism hasn't had the same hideous history of lynchings as its companion 'ism,' the case can be made that gender bias is even more prevalent, more accepted, more insidious and more likely to die a drawn-out death.
