What is the legacy of a People?
• a thing handed down by a predecessor. Origin: late Middle English; from Old French legacie, from medieval Latin legatia 'legateship,' from legatus 'person delegated'.
In the Oxford English dictionary, standing apart from the pronunciation and etymology of the word 'legacy', is a very simple and succinct definition, "a thing handed down by a predecessor". I think it's safe to assume that many people would say a legacy is a positive thing; however, what happens when a legacy is not a good thing? What happens when you inherit something which is socially unpalatable? What if the legacy of the people from whom you descend is not a legacy at all, but is a stereotype which does not touch your life, although many people assume it does? What if your assumed legacy is alcoholism?
I am Irish, and so this legacy comes to me.
Recently, I had to have a mammogram re-check. Anyone who has had mammogram associated 'issues' will relate, without me getting into any of the ugly details. The radiologist asks about my family background, and if there is a family history of breast cancer. I laugh nervously and answer quite honestly, "I don't know. I'm Irish and Irish families don't really discuss such matters". I answered in this way because, in my experience, Irish families don't.
The radiologist laughs and comes back with a response I've heard too many times before. "Oh, come on", she says, "not even when they've had one too many beers at the pub?". I recognize an unmistakeable edge in my tone when explain to her that, other than me, no one in my family drinks alcohol. Occasionally I enjoy good red wine, and yes I might even have a pint or two of Guinness when I'm in Ireland. "Really?", she says, "No one else in your family drinks?". It is clear that she does not believe me, and in truth it doesn't really matter what I say, because she has already decided who we are based on one word, IRISH.
I am Irish, and so this legacy comes to me.
A friend of mine is a psychiatrist. He calls alcoholism 'The Irish Disease'. Once, I asked him if he ever had an Irish patient who was an alcoholic. He said he didn't recall any Irish patients, but certainly did deal with people from Scotland and England who were alcoholics. He then explained that 'everyone knows' alcoholism is the Irish disease. I expressed surprise at the fact that he knows 'everyone', and then very sarcastically explained that, even assuming his contention might very well be true, the Scottish and the English are different ethnic groups from the Irish. Well from 'THAT' area of the world was his less than brilliant comeback.
The nation of Ireland has produced some of the greatest minds on the planet in the realms of literature and political philosophy, but it appears as though, at times, this is easily forgotten. The 'drunken Paddy' is always remembered.
I am Irish, and so this legacy comes to me.
A stereotype often emerges out of a given group because it fits some of the members of that group, of that there can be no doubt; however, just because a stereotype exists, does that mean we all fit into it?
Think about every colonized race of people in history and the stereotypes which were perpetuated about them. Think about the stereotypes associated with the people from whom you descend.
'Alcoholic', 'Lazy bum', 'Cheapskate', 'Shylock', 'Welfare Queen'?
Does the stereotype fit someone in your family tree? Perhaps it does, but does that mean that's all there is to the whole person, or to the whole ethic group? NO. Human beings are not two dimensional figures, neither all saint nor all sinner. No matter how simple a life we may lead, we are complex individuals. Each of us has both good qualities and bad, no matter what our country of origin.
My interest lies in uncovering all dimensions of the individuals in my family tree, within the stories of their lives. If alcoholism is part of the story, then certainly I acknowledge it; however, falling prey to the temptation to slot all individuals into stereotypes is just not that interesting to me.

I'm sorry your stress in a difficult situation was exacerbated by a nominally professional health provider. Stereotypes serve an us-and-the dichotomy where the "us" is better. I can't say I've heard this in Australia but the stereotypes have been replaced by other ethnic groups. Each new migration wave becomes the "other".ReplyDelete
Hello Cassmob,ReplyDelete
As always, thank you for your comments. I really appreciate receiving them.
It's so true what you've said. You have taken me back to my days in graduate school and studying the work of Edward Said and Michel Foucault, among others, and the idea 'Othering' as the way in which a dominant group or culture perceives an increase in their own power by defining another group as lesser than, as 'the other'.
Despite having this knowledge under my belt, I always find it interesting to notice how easily 'we', i.e. members of society, fall into this sort of habit of 'othering' on an almost subconscious level. To many of us, such as the friend I mention in this piece, or the radiologist, it comes sort of naturally. In these instances I don't think either one of them meant to be deliberately hurtful, instead it is as though the stereotype is 'inside of their thinking' without them even thinking about it.
Cheers to you,
Wow, you do it to me every time. You post the light and the dark, the serious and not so serious. Great post and really worth thinking about, but don't be surprised if someone tells you to lighten up.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Charlotte,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are much appreciated.
When I read your comments I smiled (in a good way) because 'lighten up' is a phrase that drives me crazy, and it's one I hear all the time from people who think I am too serious about many matters, so I found it funny that you would mention that I might hear it in response to this post.
I'd never tell you to lighten up, but I think some Irish are not bothered by this kind of thing. I like what you say about stereotypes being inside of us without us really thinking about it. How many of us can honestly say we've never laughed at an ethnic joke?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Ashling,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are much appreciated.
Your point about people laughing at ethnic jokes is a great example of people buying into stereotypes without really thinking about them.
Wonderful post! It packed a punch. Growing up I often compared the family stories and experiences of my Rusyn immigrant grandparents with those of my best friend, whose Mexican grandparents crossed the Rio Grande (illegally) and ended up in the Los Angeles barrios. Different foods, different looks, but so very many similarities - especially their prejudices against "others" in America. So far down in the socio-economic pecking order that they seemed to need find an "other" group further down as a foil.ReplyDelete
That said, there are cultural traits within ethnicities - as you alluded to in your initial comment about being Irish. You didn't say "in my family we don't discuss these things". Certainly her comment was thoughtless, and one could easily be offended. But if one is going to speak in generalities, others (and yes, a deliberate choice of words) may respond in kind.
I do hope all is well on the health front.Replies
Hi Susan,Delete
As always, thank you for your comments; they are much appreciated.
While generalities are a common feature of communication, I think a distinction needs to be drawn between benign generalizations and negative stereotypes. Generalizations can describe without being offensive, but negative stereotypes rarely describe and are inherently offensive.
Thank You to each one of you for sharing in this 'conversation'. One of the things I like most about platforms such as this one is the ability to share perspectives on a matter. I debated about whether or not to share this post, and decided to do so because I truly believe that discussion leads to understanding.ReplyDelete
I am sending each one of you a hug and a thank you for offering comments where many have just avoided engaging the subject.
Cheers to each of you,
You are welcome Jennifer and personally I think some subjects need serious reflection. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. CassmobReplyDelete
I'm late to the "party" but think I'll jump in anyhow. Your post elicited two divergent thoughts as I read it. I recognized that the two main ethnic groups I am researching--Irish and Polish--have both often been the brunt of ethnic slurs, and while I've not previously dwelt on that commonality, see that those two people groups also share a heritage of being downtrodden by other groups seeking ascendancy. Why else would statements like yours about the heritage's sterling examples of brilliant thinkers be buried in a very opposite public perception of the group as a whole?ReplyDelete
And yet, I also must acknowledge that the very reason I am currently blogging is to catalog the letters and family history of an average Irishman whose life succumbed to the tragedy of alcoholism. The sum of it all is that, as you so effectively illustrated it, there is a wide gamut of human behaviors embedded within each people group--and yet, we must not take the actions of one as representative of the whole. A simple concept, yet one so complex to unfold in our everyday actions.
That thought aside...my prayers for your health and well being!Replies

See even more photos, besides the images above, from when we first covered the Helm Master months ago.
There's no turning back now. Unless you want to, that is, using the joystick to spin the boat on its axis. Following last year's launch of the Teleflex Optimus 360 system for outboards, Yamaha is introducing its version of integrated boat control. Helm Master makes its debut at the Miami International Boat Show this month. With this news, it's clear that electronic outboard control is here to stay, which will not only make docking easier but precise trim, speed and steering adjustments easier too.
"Helm Master is much more than a joystick controller," says Yamaha's marine-group president Ben Speciale. "It is a fully integrated boat-control system with a new electronic steering system, throttle and shifting controls, electronic key system and a joystick controller. It ultimately provides the boater a simpler and more enjoyable boating experience."
Instant Expertise
Helm Master was designed to work with Yamaha's 4.2-liter V-6 four-strokes (F225, F250 and F300) as well as the 5.3-liter V-8 F350 outboards in twin- or triple-engine configurations. The system was several years in development. Brad Leatherman, Yamaha's OEM and tournament support manager, conducted endurance tests with it in real-world conditions on the water.
"It's a pretty eye-opening system," he says. "It definitely eliminates the apprehension for nonboaters, and turns everyone into a pro." Leatherman believes current owners of mid-20-foot outboard-powered boats looking to move up or yacht owners downsizing are Helm Master's primary market. "There are a lot of customers who can afford a bigger boat but are scared to buy it because of their experience level. Helm Master will help reduce that fear factor."
Presets Prevail
The total system comprises several key components, starting with the electronic key-switch panel. The functions of on/off, start/stop are set using a radio-frequency key fob similar to a guitar pick. Traditional metal keys are not required to start the engines. Yamaha's Y-Cop security system is also standard with Helm Master to immobilize the engines to prevent theft.
The ergonomic control box has multiple settings that can be preset or finely tuned based on desired adjustments. With the push of a button, engine rpm can be set for optimal conditions; for safety, manual override returns control to the operator at any time. The new control box can also be operated with a single throttle lever. In this setting, the port control becomes the master. Additional selector buttons let the operator choose to run the center engine only or shifts control to a second station. The trim-adjust function synchronizes the outboard trim to set rpm levels so the engine automatically trims to the optimum running angle while under way. Five preset positions can be designated using the new Command Link Plus 6Y9 gauge, which also displays the system's overall functions. The operator can use the gauge to select some automatic settings like steering friction (adding more resistance in rough water) or joystick calibration, but more-involved adjustments like the toe-in/out adjust or lock-to-lock can be done only by Yamaha-certified technicians.

The Radiometer - A Real Solar Engine!The Radiometer provides an introduction to the study of thermodynamics that sits on your desk or table top. Set it in sunlight or incandescent light and watch the mill inside spin!The radiometer consists of four vanes, each has one blackened side and one silvered side. It is encased in a clear glass bulb that has a near perfect vacuum. So what happens to make the radiometer "work"? Crookes originally believed that sunlight falling on the light-mill turned the vanes so that the black surfaces were being pushed away by the light. He thought that this demonstrated that light radiation pressure on the black vanes was turning it round just like water in a water mill.
The problem with Crookes' explanation is that light falling on the black side should be absorbed, while light falling on the silver side of the vanes should be reflected. This means that there would be twice as much radiation pressure on the metal side as on the black and the mill would actually turn in the opposite way.
What really happens is that the faster molecules from the warmer side of each vane strike the edges obliquely and impart a higher force than the colder molecules. The movement of the vane as a result of tangential forces around the edges, is away from the warmer gas and towards the cooler gas with the gas passing round the edge in the opposite direction. Therefore, the movement is actually due to what happens near the edges of the vanes rather than at the faces.Try it out yourself and watch thermodynamics in action! The radiometer's four vane rotor spins continuously up to 3,000 RPM. It is 5" high and 3" in diameter.

CNHI News Service
HAVERHILL, Mass. — A 32-year-old voice teacher in this Boston suburb is accused of raping a 14-year-old student and getting her pregnant, and investigators say they are now digging through thousands of sexually explicit text messages to identify another possible victim.
Joshua Garsteck appeared in court Wednesday, where a judge set bail at $50,000.
Police said they began an investigation earlier this year after being notified by the Department of Children and Families about a voice teacher allegedly having sex with a pupil, who was several months pregnant.
Assistant District Attorney Jessica Strasnick said in court Wednesday that text messages between Garsteck and the victim were "graphic and sexual."
"I know we're familiar with the term 'sexting,' but I suggest that 'sexting' is a gross understatement for the content of the defendant's text messages," she said. "They truly shock the conscience that an adult would text such graphic details to a child."
Police charged Garsteck with aggravated rape of a child. Additional charges of impeding a police investigation are pending.
According to prosecutors, the text messages suggested the girl and Garsteck had a sexual relationship that started at the beginning of the year.
Strasnick said the investigation also showed that Garsteck was having online sexual conversations with another juvenile girl.
"There are thousands of text messages between this defendant and this child," Strasnick said. "There are text messages between this defendant and the child's mother, and there are text messages between this defendant and what appears to be another juvenile, who is in the process of being identified."
Garsteck was a voice instructor with the DeAngelis Studio of Music in Haverhill and the victim was a student.
Nancy Burger, co-owner of DeAngelis Studio, said Garsteck taught on a contract basis but is no longer with the studio.
"We are very concerned about the allegation, and we are cooperating with police," Burger said.
Strasnick said that when Garsteck became aware of the investigation, he showed up at the police station to try to clear his name.
Police said he denied having a romantic relationship with the girl. He also told police he had a relationship with the victim's family, which included sharing family holidays, taking trips to the beach and seeing movies with the girl's mother.
The report said investigators asked Garsteck to take a DNA test to eliminate him from suspicion but he refused.
Details for this story were reported by The Eagle-Tribune in North Andover, Mass.

184 grinding gears
Hello everyone, I just purchased a 1979 184 with all the options, creeper gear, 3 point, woods mower, ect ect, the seller claimed it needed nothing..lol, quite the opposite.....it had a fresh paint job that IMO had so-so prep work, anyway, the problem I have is you have to start the tractor in gear, otherwise it'll grind like no other. I tried adjusting the clutch via the rod to make sure the disc had ample distance of disengagement, and it does as soon as I let the clutch out and try and push it back in the driveshaft never stops spinning. I'm a L-1 mastertech so I'm not an idiot when it comes to troubleshooting.......anyway the clutch fork appears fine as well as the throwout bearing. I next pushed the clutch pedal in and held it with a block of wood and put the tractor in nuetral and tried to manually spin the driveshaft by hand and it felt notchy in spots and felt like it was binding, I feel either the pilot bearing is dry/ binding and or catching on the input/driveshaft causing the driveshaft to continue to spin, thus creating my problem OR ANYONE have any other possibility based on their knowledge of these tractors??........I assume the clutch will have to come out to resolve this issue?? and or replace pilot bushing?? How hard of a job is it to replace the clutch and or pilot bearing in a 184?? Any step by step or quick steps to make this easier???? I've done plenty of clutches in cars.........Anyone have any tips, pics and or insight on this job???
Re: 184 grinding gears
It may just be misadjusted or it may be broken. The notchy feel doesn't sound right, but may not be attributed to the clutch.
Before tearing it down, try to temporarily readjust the clutch fork so that the throwout bearing is in contact with the pressure plate while the clutch is out. Make it fairly tight for the test. Take it for a short drive. See if the driveshaft stops spinning when the clutch is in. If it seems to work better, then adjust it out 1/2 turn at a time until the driveshaft no longer stops when the clutch is in. Then adjust it back in 1 turn and call it good.
I wouldn't tear it down unless you can't get it adjusted to stop the driveshaft. If you do need to, order your parts from HamiltonBobsCubs. He has new driveshafts, clutches, throwout bearings and carriers in addition to used parts.

Re: 184 grinding gears
I have the rod adjusted as far in as possible to the max, so there are no more threads to go and it still spins.
Re: 184 grinding gears
UPDATE: Started taking clutch out tonight, mower deck off, and in the process of depressing the clutch from underneath I noticed the drive shaft when loaded would shift to the side ever so slightly with throw out bearing loaded on pressure plate fingers, long story short, pulled out the driveshaft and presto prob was evident, tip that slides into the pilot bearing is gaulled and heavy groove worn into it, so looks like the pilot took a dump and in turn took out the tip, so complete clutch kit is in line as well as driveshaft and clutch fork is worn....this is what I get for trusting a flea bag flea bay seller who claimed the tractor needed nothing........live and learn
Re: 184 grinding gears
30+ year old tractors will likely need service. Sounds like you are replacing it all. Keep your old parts for a year or two. It'll help you. Clutch fork will likely need to be welded and ground back into shape. New ones are not available and used ones are often in similar condition. Look at the carrier for the throwout too. It's probably just as worn as the clutch fork. (these are available)

Re: 184 grinding gears
I know......it was his presentation of the tractor that was elusive that upsets me, then when I told him of the issues after the fact he denied it and down played them, I know he knew about the clutch issue....fresh antisieze was on the u-joint when I slid it off and to make matters worse the nerb damaged the creeper seal as well when he tried to possibly pry the u-joint assembly off due to the fact it was siezed for him........the mushroom cloud grows

Today's students rely on technology for both their academic and social lives, and though some see it as a barrier to concentration in the classroom, others, like Mark Frydenberg are embracing it as a key teaching strategy. It was this core strategy and belief that propelled Mark to rethink the former CIS (Computer Information Systems) Tutoring Lab, and transform it into the CIS Learning and Technology Sandbox, a state-of-the-art learning space that opened this fall in the Smith Academic Technology Center, room 234, adjacent to the Trading Room.

Stoughton man, 30, dies in Rock County crash
A 30-year-old Stoughton man was killed early Sunday and three others were injured when the driver of a pickup truck lost control of his vehicle on a ramp heading onto southbound Interstate 39 near Janesville, according to Wisconsin State Patrol officials.
The victim who died was identified as Derek G. Reible, who was a passenger in the truck. The driver, Nikolas R. Mills, 31, of Stoughton, and passengers Kristofor D. Mills, 30, of Stoughton and Nikolas E. Klinefelter, 27, of Janesville were injured and taken to hospitals for treatment.

House provision would allow SS Badger to dump coal ash in perpetuity
A controversial coal-fired ferry could chug through the waters of Lake Michigan for as long as it floats, under a special provision slipped into a U.S. Coast Guard reauthorization bill.
The nearly 60-year-old SS Badger - the last coal-burning steamship on the Great Lakes - drops more than 500 tons of coal ash into the lake each season as it ferries cars and passengers between Ludington, Mich., and Manitowoc. Without a renewal of its federal permit or an investment to end the ash dumping, however, the ferry run by Lake Michigan Carferry will have to shut down Dec. 19. »Read Full Article(307)

U.S. Senator-elect Tammy Baldwin is sticking to a campaign theme of asking more in taxes from the wealthy.
In a letter to President Barack Obama written with U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), the Madison Democrat urged Obama to include the so-called Buffett rule in any proposal to avoid the fiscal cliff in budget talks. The Buffett rule, named after successful investor Warren Buffett, would ensure that people making more than $1 million a year have at least a 30% income tax rate and not a rate that is less than that paid by some middle-class workers. »Read Full Blog Post(147)

How About Now? Is it Time to Buy a House?
Buying a Home
How About Now? Is Tt Time to Buy a House?
With mortgage rates at their absolute historic lows, housing prices at 2003 levels, and sellers desperately trying to get out would you really have to ask if it's time to buy a house? Actually, the answer is not all that simple, and there are a few other considerations that may be important. More important than bottoming housing prices and interest rates are the issues surrounding your own financial situation, such as your income stability, your budget, and whether you have found the home you expect to live in for a long while. Homeownership is still a financially sound idea, but you should crunch some more numbers before jumping in.
Are you better off renting? Unless you plan on being in your home for at least 10 years, you it may make sense to continue renting. That's about how long it takes to recapture the cost of ownership including fees, sales commissions, and other initial purchase costs.
Are you better off with a shorter mortgage? You can't get much cheaper debt than a 30 year mortgage. As long as mortgage interest continues to be tax deductible, and you stay in your home for ten years or more, you'll build equity faster in a longer mortgage. You might as well apply the extra cash to savings or paying down other debt.
Are you better off waiting? If you are holding off with the expectation that housing prices will continue to decline it may end up costing you more if interest rates suddenly rebound, and that could cost you greatly over the long run.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

I have the distinction of sitting next to an exquisitely tidy coworker. The surface of her desk gleams like the skin of an apple (or the inside of an Apple store); a single dictionary, its binding kissing the leftmost edge of a tissue box, keeps watch over an immaculately polished laptop. Occasionally a book will materialize somewhere between the telephone and the cheerful plant in its bright green ceramic. The edges of this idyllic work zone are marked by a translucent partition, a kind of Great Wall beyond which the barbarian forces (me) gather.
Which is why I was excited to read a piece in The New York Times on the unsung virtues of the messy workspace.
Or at least, that is one interpretation of the article, which summarizes three experiments recently published in Psychological Science by researchers from the University of Missouri. (Another takeaway is that people plopped into orderly environments are more likely to make healthful choices and donate money to charity than those hemmed in by squalor.) But what we messy deskers lack in conscientiousness and kindness we apparently make up for in freewheeling zest for the new! And, I'd argue, we have more time to look for the things we've inevitably misplaced because we aren't so busy cleaning.
In the first experiment, one group of college students was asked to complete questionnaires in a cluttered, messy office. A second group received the same task but was stationed in a pristine office. When they finished after 10 minutes, the students were offered the choice of a chocolate bar or an apple. They were also given the opportunity to donate to charity. The participants who had completed the survey in a neat room were twice as likely to opt for the apple over the chocolate and also contributed more money on average. The paper's authors suggest that the organized climes inspired a sense of discipline and ethical uprightness.

eBay sellers
I don't know about you guys, but I don't do business with eBay sellers who make money off shipping. What is your take on the subject?
Re: eBay sellers
Consider the total cost of the contemplated purchase. eBay even has a sorting option that will list by the lowest cost including shipping for a search category. The State of NC charges sales tax on the shipping cost, too. A tax on postage, if you will.
Years ago, the new car dealers in my area would show the price of a car f.o.b.. Naturally, the price the customer would pay would have several items/dollars added to the f.o.b. amount. I told one salesman that I wanted the price p.m.d. He asked what that meant. Parked My Driveway.
Luck favors those who are prepared
Re: eBay sellers
Thomas , My take
If the seller inflates shipping and sells their items at a reduced price . It saves them on fees and I am fine with that.
Boxes , tape and a trip to the post office all cost money so some allowances could be made on that.
If the seller is jacking up shipping for more profit , I dont do business with them unless I really have to have what they are selling.
Either way its my choice and i am fine with it.
Re: eBay sellers
I usually do not charge enough for shipping. I also usually only use e-bay if i NEED money, and only sell stuff I do not NEED.
Lower shipping will usually sell my item better than not.
Re: eBay sellers
Tom, E Bay charges you on the shipping cost too , and if you live 30 miles from the post office
gas at over $3.00 a gal. Well that is my case anyway. I loose on most of my shipping cost.
Gota be a real thin pancake not to have 2 sides But you do need to watch some.
All others pay cash

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely byJohn Emerich Edward Dalberg
Re: eBay sellers
I buy a fair amount on especially manuals, brochures, data sheets and that sort of thing. For most eBay I find the shipping is pretty reasonable and in some cases super cheap. Very seldom do I run across those who charge outrageous amounts. I guess I sort of mentally cherry pick when I am looking at items listed on eBay. In my experience over the last 12 years the vast majority charge very reasonable rates and I have no reason not to leave excellent feedback on that line.
My biggest beef is those who refuse to ship to Canada via USPS Regular Letter Post - those that insist on US International First Class are selling me something I do not want nor cannot get. Since 9/11 there has been a number of idiotic changes - that simply add layers of red tape and expense whilst at the same time reducing service and extending transit times. USPS IFC used to be 2-4 days with a tracking #, now it is held up at the border on the US side and then on the Cdn side. I never get them under 14 business days yet I have to pay 5 to 10 times the price of USPS Regular Letter Mail depending on what I buy. A manual to Canada costs a grand total of $1.75 for a normal 75 page Cub Owner's Manual. It costs a bit more for up to a 100 page manual. A TC-37 usually costs less than $5.00US. A PO-9 may cost up to $9.50 or so. Yet, USPS IFC costs a minimum of $12.50. Also tracking and delivery confirmation is no longer available and I don't like paying for something I cannot get so for shippers who insist on USPS IFC I simply do not do business with them. I will say this though, the majority of those whom I contact and explain the situation before the auction ends, usually will end up shipping via my preferred route and I haven't lost one yet
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: eBay sellers
Here's what started my rant. Guy has a small item for sale that he is going to ship in small flat rate box. He is charging $10.00 shipping, almost double what he is paying. I just don't agree with doing business that way.
I asked him why and he responded "how much is your time worth?" Really?
I've had one person charge me more for shipping than cost. When I asked, he gladly refunded my money. I even had one seller refund difference on his own. By and large that is what I've encountered on eBay.
He's definitely lost a customer in me.
I'm through ranting now. Ain't I supposed to mellow with age?
Re: eBay sellers

I think signing Longoria for that long is a bad move. It never works out. Especially someone that misses as much time as he does. He will never be hungry to win and they won't even get the benefit of him playing in a contract year. What have the Rays said about the payroll this coming year compared to last?
Do you think Upton all of a sudden learns how to hit home runs the last month of the season? It is all about incentive and Longoria now has zero.

CNHI News Service
— Little wonder that the 2013 Cadillac SRX is leading its brand in sales, accounting for nearly 70 percent of SUVs moving off showroom floors this year. Its prestigious stance, luxurious ride and wealth of amenities catapults GM into the highly competitive luxury market that imports have been dominating.
Add the government's five-star crash ratings, the best possible, and the SRX becomes even more of a choice for consumers looking at safety for the entire family.
While minor front-end sheet metal changes keep the exterior similar to its model introduction in 2009, the big change this year is on the inside.
For those familiar with Smartphone swipes and slides, the Cadillac User Experience -- CUE -- offers control of most functions through voice activation or touch. The infotainment interface, like many systems on the market, takes some getting used to.
After a week of test driving the top-of-the-line SRX AWD Premium, I found myself looking for excuses to swipe and slide audio and climate controls, navigation destinations and a variety of apps.
View the change this way: Before CUE, there were buttons and dials all over the center stack, and now there are just four -- volume up and down, on, off and home.
Everything else can be adjusted by voice or hand movement approaching the screen as the system anticipates your command and displays controls you probably want to adjust.
One useful tool on a recent interstate trip crossing four states was the navigation map overlaid with live weather and road construction maps, each providing advance information for the journey.
Digital screen technology is also available to change the look of driver controls for speedometer, tachometer, fuel and engine vitals. Four different digital dashboard layouts are available to fit your need for visual appearance.
Once set, three mini-screens can be further adjusted for the discriminating driver that cannot leave well enough alone.
There is still more technology to drive consumers to the Cadillac experience in the form of a driver assist package. It applies automatic braking with front, rear and side sensors that determine impact and apply appropriate response.
Another safety feature is the driver seat "wiggle" that, well, wiggles on the left or right side warning of impending collision, front or rear.
For highway travel there is an available adaptive cruise control feature that keeps the Cadillac a pre-set distance from traffic ahead. It emits laser beams that monitor traffic ahead and applies braking to a dead stop if needed or acceleration to a pre-set speed. I found it to be a terrific safety feature that should be standard equipment for all cars.
There is a downside to all of this creature comfort, in the form of what can be a hefty price tag for all the additional electronics. Another consideration is fuel economy with the sole engine available, a V6 with 308 horsepower. It delivers a smooth and quiet ride with ample power in most driving conditions.
In sustained highway travel, the SRX delivered 23 miles per gallon, one of the few cars to match EPA estimates. The zero to 60 mile per hour sprint is accomplished in 8.1 seconds, about average for its class.
The SRX is available in Base, Luxury, Performance and Premium trim levels ranging in base price from $37,330 to $47,920.
If you are shopping in this segment, you may want to also consider the BMW X3, Acura RDX or Audi Q5 for comparison.
Sales the past two years have been steady with the SRX moving 57,485 during 2012 and 56,905 the previous year.
