1. I, along with Edwin's cousin Bryan Trent, was promised that if you refer a customer you get $50.00, and if they make a purchase then that is an additional $50.00 dollars.
To this day, I have only received $50.00, and Bryan has received $100.00(in which he referred myself and another young lady who indeed made a purchase)
I am owed $50.00, and Bryan is owed $100.00, I have personally talked to the GM Mr. Dennis Holloway and he has yet to state that we will receive those funds
2. I was told that I would be issued half of my car payments for the next 4 months. Has that happened? No not even once and it is now time for my second payment for my vechile.
3. The day my car was purchased, I was promised the second set of keys to my vechile with the security transmitter(the value of these items are worth $200.00).
I was not issued these items after going to the dealership approximately 10 times in a 3 week period. I was told that the original owner never came by with the keys. keep in mind, my car is a NISSAN, purchased from a NISSAN dealership!
I had to complain so bad to have a manager get a key made for me while I waited. The next day I was issued a security transmitter by Edwin Carr, and was lied to, being told that the original owner broke the key to the car.... The transmitter he gave me was brand new with the Nissan logo.
4. I was told to put my plates on my car by Edwin. I was transferring plates from my old car to my new car, and had a temp tag until my paperwork was completed.
I received a call from the dealership, from Edwin stating that I could put my old plates on my car, but my paper work was not completed. I questioned if my paperwork is not complete, would it not show that I only own a 1995 Honda Civic, not a 2000 Nissan Altima?
I was told that it would be ok. I then called, myself, the Used Car Manager, Dan at Bluff City Nissan, and asked about my plates. He told me that this was incorrect information, then stated that I needed to bring the car back for an extended temporary tag. I could get a ticket or be taken to jail because my plates at this time are not legal. I must admit I was EXTREMELY UPSET!!!!
Till this day, I have not had any problems, so far, with the deal of my mothers truck. But, with my car, I have not yet received approval to place my plates on my car(I still have a temporary tag for the 2nd time!).
Mr. Carr, well he has been terminated from his Salesman position at Bluff City. As I was informed by the Finance Dept., it was my sale that made him get terminated. When I still question Mr. Holloway, GM of Bluff City Nissan for the referral fees and payment fees that are suppose to be issued, I was told,"Well I have nothing to do with that."
I would like this to be exhibited for the Memphis and surrounding areas for people to see. I would not want for this to happen to another good person, with good intentions and not to be had by a bad example of a dealership.

How about the massive objections to the Rural Lane site that if developed would provide no benefit to the city, only Stanford, and would entail significant safety hazards for everyone who uses Alpine road

Score from 887 reviews Excellent
next to a tram stop and relatively close to the city centre
hot water supply was rather unstable
Nice and clean room
Little bit dirty bathroom, maybe caused by too many people living together
Excellent place at low price. Clean, new, quiet, perfect apartment. Nice kitchen rooms and bathrooms! The location was not a problem because we were by car.
Ok location.
We had low expectations, but even then we were disappointed. No wardrobe/closet even though promised, no remote for the AC, dirty dishes & wet floor when we arrived, no washing machine either. We kept the windows closed but still I got 32 mosquito/flea bites IN ONE NIGHT. The man who met us spoke poor English, gave no instructions about check-out. It was too hot to sleep, even with the windows open. + the windows could not be kept open due to the loud noices from outside. Refridgerator is very small. A lot of insects inside the apartment. The showerhead was bad (low pressure) and the water was warm for only 5 min every day.
My first experience with hostel . The best experience ever
There was nothing what I didn't like.everything was perfect.
for me all is perfect, except some small discomforts mentioned as the "-"
few days there was no toilet paper in the bathroom , there is problem that after a shower the floor is completely wet , some mop will be useful to dry a floor
well equipped the kitchen , clean rooms,

Professional singer for fifteen years. Regarded in mid-Michigan as one of the finest female vocalists. Her range is simply tremendous. She is able to capture the feel of Patsy Cline, to Pat Benatar and Celine Dion; and she seems to know the words to EVERY SONG!
Who Are We?
Life Support has been a performing unit for fifteen years, with over 140 years of combined performing experience. The key members of the band consists of Nikki Fowler on lead vocals, Ricky Nalett on keyboards and vocals, Bob Giunta on guitar and vocals, and Donny Brown on drums and vocals. And on special request, our fifth member of Life Support, Bronnie Brown. Life Support was one of the premiere bands at "The Beer Barrel" in Put-In-Bay for several years. We are one of the top requested bands on Mackinac Island for performing wedding receptions. Life Support is much more than your typical "bar band". We have a unique ability to perform anything from jazz standards, classic rock, to songs from recent artists. If you want a talented band who pays attention to detail, you want Life Support !! We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and look forward to providing you with the same high quality our clients have come to expect from us throughout the years.
What Does a Wedding Reception With Life Support Include?
- We are your Master of Ceremonies for your event from beginning to end, providing music from the moment your guests enter (either on CD, jazz trio, pianist).
- Four sets of live entertainment and a wide variety of break music. A full six hour reception.
- We will learn two songs that you select to make sure your reception is exactly what you want.
- This is what we do. We are a very seasoned, professional band with exceptional talent at each instrument and with a very special lead vocalist, Nikki Fowler.
- Life Support has been around for over fifteen years and we are not going anywhere, so rest assured that when you book us, we will be there!
- Life Support specializes in corporate parties and wedding receptions and we perform from Mackinac Island to Put-In-Bay.
- Life Support is not a "jam band". We are the same members at every performance. Many bands hire who's available to come play with them, so you might get a good band or…well…who knows.
- Live Is Better! As much as the trend is to have a DJ, there is truly no comparison between having a band or a DJ. With the energy, response, and special touches a band brings, nothing is better than live music. In addition, we can incorporate more recent music on CD's, so you don't need to get a DJ!
- Affordable! What you say? Well, when you are done decorating the hall and eating the cake, the one thing that people will always comment on down the road will be about the entertainment. This is why we feel we are your best wedding reception value and that in comparison, we are affordable.
- Entertainment Options – Please ask us. We can provide music for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, etc. We can accommodate most musical situations with a pianist, vocalist, and/or a jazz trio and more.
Lightning Inside and Out!
Yo Ricky, Nikki, Donny, Bob, and Bronnie
From the bottom of our hearts, Sandy and I thank you for the excellent evening of entertainment and emcee'ing - YOU GUYS WERE AWESOME and we've heard nothing but great things about "our band" :-)
Thanks you so much for sharing your stage with me - you guys are very generous, personable, and FUN
Donny cracked me up with his half a dozen endings to Squeeze Box - I thought I was the energizer bunny but he gets that award! Nikki's vocals were great, Bob's leads were inspiring, Bronnie's sax was sexy, and of course Rick rolled it out and layed it down on keyboards and bass - what a magician
It was a great backdrop having the lightning outside at your backs while you were playing - nice touch!! ;-)
We want to come see you guys again soon to enjoy you again, and reminisce about our magical wedding weekend.
Sincerest Regards to you All
your new friends
Jim & Sandy Walsh

In Denver—often called the mile-high city—the State Capitol Building's steps bear a marker indicating the exact point at which the city reaches 5,280 feet above sea level. Located just outside Capitol Hill, the chic Uptown neighborhood is known for its historical Victorian and Queen Anne architecture. Bistros and diners dot 17th Avenue's Restaurant Row, and just a few blocks north, across from the bed and breakfast, Benedict Fountain Park boasts some of the city's top-rated drinking fountains.
The Colorado Symphony's new Inside the Score series gives concert-goers a full behind-the-music experience. Discover the fascinating history of the pieces and delve into the musical mind-matter of renowned composers all while being entertained with extra audio, visuals, and spoken word. Grab a seat for one of the most popular pieces of orchestral music composed, Dvorak's From The New World, or discover the origin and distinctive orchestral language and secret Morse code haikus of Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique , helmed by principal guest conductor Douglas Boyd. The Classical Top 40 concert brings together a smorgasbord of favorites such as Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro Overture," Wagner's "The Ride of the Valkyries," Rossini's "William Tell Overture," and Pachelbel's Canon, while the final Inside the Score performance in May features Stravinsky's The Firebird from the fairytale ballet about a young prince searching for the most beautiful non-platypus egg-layer in the world.
Inside the booths at Global DJ Academy, one will find instructors such as Walt White, a 15-year veteran DJ who goes by the name Dark Agenda, and Elliot Overson––aka DJ Wushu––demonstrating the art of thrilling crowds armed only with a set of turntables and records. The team collectively accounts for thousands of hours of experience both teaching and performing for live nightclub audiences, unlike amateur DJs who only play for those living above and below them. This level of experience ensures that the academy's 2,500 square-foot facility is put to good use as they impart their knowledge to students using its two production studios, soundproof recording booth, and six DJ workstations. Students can expect to learn skills ranging from the basics to advanced analog techniques, such as scratching and effects, all on the school's modern user interfaces as well as production software.
For decades, JCPenney Portraits has welcomed families into its friendly studios, where professional photographers expertly photograph subjects of any age. Digital cameras, professional lighting, and a wide selection of backgrounds all work together to ensure a professional, personalized look for every family portrait, school picture, business headshot, or baby announcement. To customize the session even more, the staff also encourages guests to incorporate items with special meaning such as a baby blanket or a family heirloom. From a first baby portrait to senior pictures and engagement photos, JCPenney Portraits helps to preserve special family memories to come.
After the final flash, clients and a team member head to the viewing kiosk, where they can select their photos and customize them. Beyond traditional printed portraits, memories may also be preserved on high-resolution CD, gallery wraps, wall art, or through JCPenney Portraits' archival program, which allows clients to store and share their portraits online.
JumpStreet is an indoor trampoline park where taut floors and angled walls made of springy trampoline surfaces beckon children and adults to bounce back and forth or try aerodynamic flips and gravity-defying leaps. The arena is structured like a skateboard park, though bouncers don't need any equipment to hop across the wall-to-wall planes or climb up, slide down, or spring off the tilted trampoline walls, which can also be used to recreate the summer Olympics' popular trampoline belly-flop event. Guests can hop on over to the springy dodgeball courts, where safe, competitive play is enhanced with ample bouncing, and arcades and batting cages offer engaging activities for those who need to rest their feet. Scattered across JumpStreet's various locations are an assortment of other safe, kinetic activities, including a bull ride, a multicolored maze, and a foam pit.

Beautiful and comfortable, great place!
We feel like home, we had everything that we needed, great experience, fantastic home and decoration style. Thanks very much. I hope that JJ received a little gift from us, we left a bottle of wine with the broker Nathalie. Thanks very much for letting us use the toys, my children had a very good time playing around.
Everything's Wonderful and More!
This home is beautiful! Doris goes out of her way to make you feel like it is truly your home away from home! The kitchen is very well equipped and there are more than enough sheets and towels. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The maintenance people are attentive and keep the place looking spectacular. We loved the clothesline and being able to open doors and windows to let the breeze pass through. We kept the bars closed, but in no way did we feel unsafe. we walked to Accra Beach every day. This home is in the perfect location with a few moments walk to the beach, stores and taxi stand. Also the bus is easy to access and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance. We hope to return! Thank you so very much Doris, for sharing your beautiful home with us! ~ Rosemary and Norm Wall

PSNH electric bills should be lower
A user of 500 kilowatt hours of electricity per month will now pay $87.75 per month, a reduction of $4.68.
Public Service will reduce its energy service rate by 9.6 percent,. from 9.54 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) to 8.62 cents, and take a .61 cent reduction in its "stranded cost recovery" fee, which represents some of the costs brought on by the restructuring of the electric energy to promote competition.
The company will boost what it charges customers for transmission of electricity from 1.359 cents to 1.714 cents per kWh.
PSNH will increase the money it sets aside for major storms every year by $5 million to $12 million annually.
During its review of two lengthy mass power outages in the state, the severe ice storm of December 2008 and the Halloween snowstorm in 2011, the PUC recommended that the utility "pre-stage" by bringing in crews and equipment from elsewhere in the country in advance of major storms. In its decision, the commission noted that the company did just that prior to four big storms last winter.

This requires a spring compressor. If your not careful you can get seriously hurt trying to remove these springs, so either get the correct tools and learn how to do this properly or take it to a shop and have them do it.

Qatar wants to become the biggest shareholder in Royal Dutch Shell by raising its stake to 7 percent to strengthen its ties with the oil company and further invest its wealth in western assets, a report said on Friday.
September 9, 2012 9:52 by Reuters
Qatar wants to become the biggest shareholder in Royal Dutch Shell by raising its stake to 7 percent to strengthen its ties with the oil company and further invest its wealth in western assets, a report said on Friday.
The Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) said Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, the Qatar Investment Authority, was looking to raise its stake from below 3 percent, which would make it the biggest shareholder, above Blackrock's 5 percent.
Shell declined to comment on the report.
In May, MEES reported that Qatar was looking to buy 3-5 percent of Shell. Shell confirmed at the time that Qatar had bought a large stake.
British stock market rules require any party to disclose a holding of over 3 percent in a listed company. Qatar has not made such a disclosure.
QIA has been the most active of the region's sovereign wealth funds in recent years, deploying profit from its natural gas riches into assets ranging from German sportscar maker Porsche to British bank Barclays.
A senior executive of the Qatari fund said in April the financial crisis had restricted investment in commodities and he expected a supply-demand gap to emerge by 2016 or 2017.
Apart from Shell, QIA has bought stakes in French oil major Total and European utilities Energias dePortugal and Iberdrola.
The fund has also been buying into Xstrata, amassing a stake of 12.3 percent and blocking the London-listed miner's merger with trader Glencore.
Shell operates multi-billion dollar natural gas projects in Qatar.

Military veterans honored with Purple Hearts
Updated On: Aug 07 2014 11:50:00 PM EDT
Military members were honored Thursday night across the nation and in Jacksonville with the most prestigious military honor -- the Purple Heart.
On Aug. 7, 1782, Gen. George Washington created the "Badge of Military Merit," later to be called "The Purple Heart." Thursday, military members in Jacksonville were honored on National Purple Heart Day, including several recipients who served during World War II.
"There's not a member of our military who sets out each morning with the intent of earning a Purple Heart, for only fate can dictate that, but what these brave men and women have done each and every morning is to answer the call of a proud nation. They are our defenders of freedom," said recipient Lee Brown.
The ceremony took place at Jacksonville's Veterans Memorial Wall, where five World War II veterans were awarded Purple Hearts. One by one, the proud recipients received their awards, recognized for their wounds received while serving the United States military.
"We've shed blood for this country in defense of this great nation, so I think it's an honor. It's a small fraternity of people who have been awarded the Purple Heart, so I think it means a lot," said Brown.

• We congratulate Kershaw County's 2012 graduates – both those who have already stepped across the stage and those who will receive their diplomas Saturday. As indicated in today's Chronicle-Independent graduation section, we have many young people with bright futures ahead of them. We wish them the very best on their journey.
There are countless reasons that our system of government in Washington is broken so badly, but there's one concept -- it's in effect in many states, already – that would effect immediate change and would help solve our crisis in government: term limits. Of course it's not a new concept, but limiting people to a particular number of terms, whether in the House of Representatives or the Senate -- would help free many elected officials to make decisions based on what's best for the country rather than on getting re-elected.
We're glad to see that automakers in the United States are getting serious about producing vehicles that run on compressed natural gas (CNG), a fuel that is readily available in this country and much cheaper than gasoline. It's estimated that the U.S. has more than a 100-year supply of natural gas presently on hand, and prices have been falling, as opposed to the costs of gasoline. And, of course, running vehicles with a native fuel lessens dependence on the Middle East and its volatile politics. As we pointed out recently, we're enthusiastic about the fuel-efficient diesel-powered ...
• It's satisfying to see a future generation of leaders in training. Junior Leadership Kershaw County recently graduated its 24th class of youth, who completed a year-long program of team-building and leadership development activities. We congratulate the graduates of this year's Junior Leadership academy, which represents Camden, North Central and Lugoff-Elgin high schools and Camden Military Academy, and commend the Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce, Kershaw County School District and Camden Military Academy for their joint sponsorship of this program.
When Charles Colson, White House legal counsel under President Richard Nixon, went to prison in 1974 for obstruction of justice related to the Watergate scandal, few people could have predicted the path his life would take. Colson, in the vernacular of the day, got "jailhouse religion" and said he would dedicate his life to helping those behind bars. His conversion was met with a great deal of suspicion. Colson ended up surprising his critics by founding Prison Fellowship, an international evangelical Christian ministry, and spending the next 36 years working to spread his message in an attempt to help inmates ...
We have noted before with a degree of perplexity that diesel automobiles that get great fuel mileage and are wildly popular in Europe have never been promoted here in the United States by automakers. Finally, we're glad to see that is changing, and the public is responding in a big way. Volkswagen is now aggressively pushing its Passat TDI diesel model, which can deliver up to 50 miles per gallon in highway driving. Auto industry analysts have said for more than three decades that Americans wouldn't latch onto diesels, partly because of the disastrous results back in the ...
• With the Major League Baseball season in its infancy, we're struck by one fact about the New York Yankees: the team must have the biggest -- we're talking in terms of physical size here -- pitching staff in the history of the league. Excluding Hiroki Kuroda, at 6-1 and 190 pounds the dwarf of the group, New York's starting rotation averages nearly 6-6 in height and 257 pounds. Hurler C. C. Sabathia is the biggest of the group at 6-7, 290. We don't know how well they'll pitch this year, but we doubt you'll see many ...
We don't know whether Kershaw County voters will face a referendum this fall on whether to organize a new county police department -- in the process taking virtually all authority away from the sheriff's office -- but the fact that county council is even considering it is a bit unsettling for both entities. Discord between sheriffs and county council members is nothing new, of course. In the past, going back decades, some sheriffs have been quick to remind council members that they are independent elected officials, and councils have been no less reticent to let sheriffs know they are dependent ...
• There's a controversy over federal subsidies granted to college students, and that's a valid subject for debate, but lost in the shuffle is the fact that college costs are out of control. The expense charged to students from colleges and universities has skyrocketed in the two decades at a rate far exceeding the increase in the cost of living. Colleges need to get a handle on that before criticizing the government for not allowing large subsidies.
It appears that claims of $5-a-gallon gasoline in South Carolina that were made a few months ago were nothing more than speculation, as the price of fuel is now coming down and is actually lower than it was a year ago. That's good news, of course, and experts say one reason is that people are driving less, using more fuel-efficient cars, making fewer trips and carpooling. There's another option we'd like to suggest, one that can save money while at the same time improving health. It's walking. What could be simpler than that?
The relationship between Gov. Nikki Haley and members of the General Assembly hasn't been exactly lovey-dovey, and there's probably some blame to be placed on both sides. But it does look a bit churlish for the Senate to finally pass a bill that will allow gubernatorial candidates to pick their own running mates, but to postpone the effective date of the bill until after Haley runs for re-election -- as she is presumed to want to do -- two years from now.
• USAirways, which has a major hub in Charlotte, is making a play for American Airlines, which is in bankruptcy, cutting a deal with American's unions that will give USAirways a step up in the merger it seeks. For Kershaw County travelers who choose to fly out of Charlotte rather than subject themselves to the restrictions of Columbia's limited flight schedules, that would be a great improvement, and we hope USAirways is able to pull its deal off.
After years of fan discontent over the lack of a playoff system in college football, it appears that progress is finally being made toward establishing some sort of playoff that will involve at least four teams and possibly more. Over many seasons, since the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) was established, college football's power brokers steadfastly refused to admit that a controversial system of picking two teams to play for the national championship had any weaknesses. They wanted to protect the current bowl system and they displayed a blind eye to fans' calls for a playoff.
Members of the S. C. General Assembly appear poised to strike down the TERI program as the state's retirement system deficit continues to climb, recently hitting the $14 billion mark. The program was born out of good intentions but contained so many loopholes that it became the antithesis of what lawmakers intended when they started it.
• Political spin is a given these days, and President Obama is as good -- or bad, given your point of view -- at it as anyone. We were amused at his response to one reporter after Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen stuck her foot in her mouth with her comment about Ann Romney's never having "worked a day in her life." Obama referred to Rosen as "some woman on television," conveniently forgetting that she's a Democratic operative. We'll have to admit that goes beyond spin.
Thanksgiving generally marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, though commerce in this country is a continually changing animal. Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when many stores have kicked off big sales and deep discounts, appears to be lessening in importance. Retail experts say there's more of a trend now in discounting that starts before Black Friday and extends well beyond it. Shoppers have become so accustomed to discounting among retailers that many are determined from the outset not to pay full price for anything.
On Sept. 28, 1789, according to a government website, the First Federal Congress passed a resolution asking President George Washington recommend to the nation a day of thanksgiving. The site goes on to describe what happened: a few days later, Washington issued a proclamation naming Thursday, Nov. 26, 1789, as a "day of public thanksgiving" -- the first time the holiday was celebrated by our fledgling country.
• Property rights vs. community pride is a conflict as old as civilization itself. In recent months, we've reported on two attempts to regulate the appearance of properties in an effort to clean up our communities. Back in October, Kershaw County Council rejected, 3-4, third reading of an ordinance which would have given the county authority to demolish uninhabitable dwellings deemed a nuisance to neighbors or the community at large. More recently, Bethune Town Councilman John Fulmer proposed an ordinance which, if passed in December, would fine owners of blighted properties if they don't clean them up after being ...

When President Obama famously dined with a handful of Silicon Valley titans a year ago, he had a question for Apple chief Steve Jobs, say Charles Duhigg and Keith Bradsher in The New York Times: What would it take to make iPhones in the United States? Jobs' answer was unambiguous and sobering: "Those jobs aren't coming back." Now, in a lengthy story, Duhigg and Bradsher explain — based on conversations with executives at Apple and its tech rivals, economists, and government officials — why Apple and just about every player in the consumer-electronics universe has all but given up on "Made in the USA." Here, a concise look at the secret to China's success:
What does China have that America lacks?
Quite a lot. China has more mid-level engineers, a more flexible workforce, and gigantic factories that can ramp up production at the drop of a hat. China also offers tech firms a one-stop solution. "The entire supply chain is in China now," a former high-ranking Apple executive tells The Times. "You need a thousand rubber gaskets? That's the factory next door. You need a million screws? That factory is a block away. You need that screw made a little bit different? It will take three hours."
It's not just about cheaper wages?
No. Wages actually aren't that big a part of the cost of making consumer electronics, according to The Times. Paying American wages to build iPhones would add only about $65 to the retail price of each handset, according to analysts' estimates. That's an amount Apple could likely afford. And in fact, China no longer offers rock-bottom wages. But when it did, it used that window "to innovate the entire way supply chains work," says Sarah Lacy at PandoDaily. China is now "a place other countries can beat on sheer cost, but not on speed, flexibility, and know-how."
What does China's competitive edge look like in practice?
One example from The Times article: When Jobs decided just a month before the iPhone hit markets to replace a scratch-prone plastic screen with a glass one, a Foxconn factory in China woke up about 8,000 workers when the glass screens arrived at midnight, and the workers were assembling 10,000 iPhones a day within 96 hours. Another example: Apple had originally estimated that it would take nine months to hire the 8,700 qualified industrial engineers needed to oversee production of the iPhone; in China, it took 15 days. Anecdotes like that leave you "feeling almost impressed by the no-holds-barred capabilities of these manufacturing plants," says Edward Moyer at CNET News, "impressed and queasy at the same time."
Is there anything the U.S. can do to bring these jobs back?
At the Silicon Valley dinner, some tech executives suggested that a "tax holiday" on foreign profits would allow their companies to repatriate money to create jobs at home. Such a tax break would save Apple about $8.2 billion, says Philip Elmer-DeWitt at Fortune. "That's a lot of lettuce." Jobs also suggested at the dinner that Apple could bring some skilled manufacturing jobs to the U.S. if the government helped train a new cadre of engineers.
Was Steve Jobs generally down on America?
No. Apple has actually added quite a few jobs here in the U.S., even as it outsources more of its labor overseas. And at the end of the Silicon Valley dinner, Jobs reportedly told Obama that he's "not worried about the country's long-term future" because the U.S. "is insanely great."
