Hornady XTP Bullets 30 Caliber (309 Diameter) 90 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Box of 100
Product #: 729749 Hornady #: 31000 UPC #: 090255310009
Product Information
Hornady XTP bullets were designed for hunting, self-defense, and law enforcement. One of the great things about the XTP bullet is reliable performance, it features controlled expansion where six serrations divide the bullet into six symmetrical sections. These sections weaken the jacket to allow controlled expansion at low velocities and ensures fragmentation does not occur at high velocities. The XTP bullet is really known for its stopping power. They were designed from the beginning to expand reliably at a variety of handgun velocities and deliver deep, terminal penetration with every shot. Most handgun bullets are designed to perform at a single factory-specified velocity where the XTP bullet is designed to offer controlled expansion over a range of velocities.
Each XTP Bullet has a swaged core and drawn copper jacket to ensure uniform expansion and in-flight stability. Adding a cannelure to this bullet keeps the core and the jacket locked together while also allowing the cartridge case to tightly crimp, adding security at high velocities. This is not loaded ammunition.

Casper Goes Khaki at Emperors Palace
09 September 2013
This September Emperors Palace presents the hilarious Casper de Vries in Casper Goes Khaki as part of the resort's 15th birthday celebrations.
Preposterous, ridiculous and absurd are commonplace descriptions for De Vries, the country's most controversial Afrikaans comedian. For years the Afrikaans speaking community has enjoyed the notoriously off-kilter humor of Casper de Vries. And now for the first time he will share his outrageous wit in a full-length English stand-up show, Casper Goes Khaki, from 5 – 29 September in the well known Theatre of Marcellus.
Following the incredible success of MASS Hysteria, where De Vries performed in English alongside the finest South African comedians, he will once again push the boundaries in his first soutie-only production.
Tickets for Casper Goes Khaki start from R160 per person and can be booked through the Emperors Palace Box Office on 011 928 1297/1213 or through Computicket on www.computicket.com. Special dinner and show packages are available from R280 per person. Winners Circle discounts apply.
Emperors Palace is a Peermont resort. For more information visit www.emperorspalace.com or call +27 (0)11 928 1000. Visit us on Face Book or follow us on Twitter @emperorspalace.

I've tried a few scheduling/task apps, and I'm still with Saisuke for a couple of reasons. First is that schedules are easy to copy and paste somewhere else, and second the month view and ease of changing the month that keep me with Saisuke. Saisuke doesn't have good task support though, and it looks cluttered on month view (that's a minor complaint though). I'm looking for an app that handles both schedules and tasks well.

Just heard on ESPN Radio.
Just heard on ESPN Radio.
Big challenge for our secondary with a hobbled Troy and minus Ike. Hope LeBeau finds a way to dial up a lot of pressure on Homo, or it will likely be a long day.
Bryant has been a beast lately, but what good is a one-armed receiver?
The Cowboys passing attack combined with our pathetic pass rush has me very worried about the Cowboys game. You know Timmons is going to spend most of the day covering Witten which means its all up to Harrison and Woodley. Not a good situation to be in since they have been average at best all season long and couldn't touch Rivers playing behind a makeshift OL.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
The better we can run the ball, the more likely it is we can win and keep Ben from getting killed. Anthony Spencer is having a great year and will be very tough for Beachum to handle.
I'm worried about Curtis Brown in coverage.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Enthusiasm for new development on Grand Junction's riverfront is definitely brewing, especially with Kannah Creek's new tasting room and bottling facility set to open mid-May. The local brewpub is finishing up construction on its second location, called Edgewater Brewery, located next to the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens and near the Colorado River.With its completion marks a renewed effort by the city to freshen Grand Junction's riverfront area, too. "The stars aligned if you will," said City of GJ Recreation Superintendent Traci Wieland, who also noted that a hefty Lions Club donation ($300,000) along with other stakeholders coming to the table caused riverfront plans to be revived.Master plans were created for the Las Colonias Park project in 1998 and 2008, and a new plan will be a melding of the two. Formerly a mill tailings site that was cleaned up and deeded to the city, this 101-acre area is located "north of the Colorado River, south of the Riverside Parkway, and just east of the Western Colorado Botanical Gardens," a news release said."I know we are really hoping that the city moves quickly on Las Colonias Park because that will only mean good things at Edgewater," Kannah Creek spokeswoman Katlin Lubeley added.To gather community input and share ideas for the Las Colonias Park project, Wieland hosted an open house Wednesday, April 10.Notable components of the plan presented to the public included an amphitheater, a wetlands area, a dog park, a festival/multipurpose area, numerous picnic shelters and a disc golf course on Watson Island. The Grand Valley Disk Golf Club is participating in the actual construction of the course, and it could be open as early as this summer.There were "very positive comments about the proposed design," Wieland said. "There wasn't much feedback about any amenity that was not 'liked.' Many of the attendees were just curious about the current revision and had many questions about when the plan might come to fruition."According to Wieland, folks should expect to see the Las Colonias project kicking off in 2013 with larger modifications to the area in 2014. It will be done in phases as grants become available. "We know that we have $250,000 in city funds this year," she said, and that money will go to basic infrastructure of the park.
What would you like to see developed on the riverfront area of Grand Junction?When the Grand Junction Free Press posed this question to its Facebook friends last week, lots of locals weighed in on a wish list for the area's future. Here are a variety of answers from our readers:• Solar-powered lighting for evenings. BIRDHOUSES! I love the Riverfront Trails and skate there often! Grand Junction is a beautiful place to live!- Connie Wengert, 42, lives in Fruita and works at Startek.• I have a vision of that area eventually turning into a LoDo-sort-of scene, turning some of the old warehouses into condos and having a major art, music, shopping, dining, and park atmosphere. It could be something very cool and fun, which will draw more tourism and add another element to Grand Junction.- Mark Wingerter, 33, is a Grand Junction resident and a real estate agent with Bray.• Free Community Center, bike & kayak rentals, birdhouses.- Lisa Fenton, 60, lives in the Redlands and works at Rocky Mountain Health Plans.• A legitimate concrete skate park; I'm 38 years old, and I, like most of my friends of similar age, spend a lot of money and time traveling to other cities and towns throughout Colorado which have invested in legitimate parks and outdoor rec activities. This is something which Mesa County has done well in some aspects, but is severely lacking in others. Public parks with unique features (i.e. whitewater, skateboarding, Frisbee golf, music venues, etc.) become destination parks, bringing a steady and constant revenue stream to local businesses. The case has been proven time and time again.- Josh Niernberg, 38, lives in downtown Grand Junction and he's the chef/owner of Bin 707 Foodbar.• A skating & rec area!- Debra Rollaine, 51, lives in Grand Junction and works as an antique/collectibles dealer.• Whitewater park, native plant arboretum, festival green, thorough riparian restoration, community center- Bill Cooper, 27, lives in Grand Junction and works for the Tamarisk Coalition.Want to weigh in?

Brandon Sun may be one of the newer names at New York Fashion Week, but he is no stranger to high-fashion and big labels. After graduating from Parsons, receiving a couple of highly-coveted awards and designing at Calvin Klein, J.Mendel and Oscar de la Renta, the young designer decided to form his own eponymous line.
Known for working with exotic furs and leathers, this young trendsetter mixed it up for his Fall/Winter 2012 collection and added in a few chunky knits, that were of course, trimmed with fur. His standout pieces included his amazing leather jackets, white crackled leathers (love winter whites) and fur cowls and scarves.
Check out our video above with Brandon Sun to learn more about his collection, what inspired it and some of his favorite pieces!

Curriculum & Resources: Understanding Multiracial America
Great Resources for Teaching
from the March 2010 YES! Education Connection Newsletter
Read the newsletter: (Multiracial) America the Beautiful
Many youth develop their assumptions and beliefs based on stereotypes and limited experience. It's not unusual for children and young adults to have little exposure to people different than themselves. Here are two resources that explore race and the experiences of multiracial people.
Teaching the Multiracial Experience
In cities like Seattle, Sacramento, and San Antonio, one in six babies born is multiracial. These children represent a rapidly growing population of Americans who draw from multiple racial groups and who are redefining how our society views race and diversity.
Read the "Bill of Rights" and "50 Experiences" with your students. Use these documents as a platform to explore stereotypes, ignorance, judgments, and even rudeness. Ask them what it might be like for kids who don't fit in a single racial box, who straddle dual and sometimes multiple races and cultures. Then, brainstorm ways your students can be more inclusive and ethnically aware.
Dr. Maria Root wrote the foundational "Bill of Rights for Racially Mixed People." The U.S. Census referred to these texts in their deliberations that resulted in a historic 'check more than one' format to the race question for the 2000 census.
DOWNLOAD: Bill of Rights for Mixed Race People (PDF, 76k)
50 Experiences of Mixed Race People
You've been told you look exotic. You're asked What are you? People look between you and your parents to figure out if you're related. These are common experiences of mixed race people.
DOWNLOAD: 50 Experiences of Mixed Race People (PDF, 72k)
Dr. Maria Root, a clinical psychologist and leading authority and lecturer in the field of racial and ethnic identity, has written books and documents to bring positive awareness of interracial and multicultural identities. She published the first contemporary volume on mixed race people, Racially Mixed People in America (1992).
LEARN MORE: MAVIN Foundation's work with mixed race issues is a significant way to create supportive and inclusive communities for all people.
- Generation Mixed: How the under-35 set is breaking the race barrier.
- My Life in Black and White: The revolutionary act of telling your story.
- Comics Against Racism: Comedy as an art-form used to deal with issues of racism.
Helping Students Understand Race
SEE WEBSITE :: Understanding Race
While there is no such thing as a biological race, we do see differences in people as a result of marriage, migration, and adaption to environment. Unfortunately, these perceived differences tend to set the foundation for social labeling and often, discrimination.
Through the prisms of history, science, and living experience, the RACE Project helps your students better understand differences and similarities among people. Additional lesson plans (grades 6-8, 9-12) will challenge your students' beliefs and assumptions about race, and connect them with the idea that race is about culture, not biology.
Events and accomplishments from 1600 to present day are captured in this fascinating timeline on the history of race, with links to articles providing more detail. The Story of Race video provides your students with an overview of how prevailing ideas in science, government, and culture have shaped our concept of race today.
EXPLORE: History - Race in the U.S.A.
Human Variation
Current science tells us that we share a common ancestry and are not as different as we seem. Human Variation invites your students to explore the science behind varieties in skin color and how genetics plus environment affect health. Take the quiz on human variation and race to see who scores a 10!
EXPLORE: Human Variation
Lived Experience
Race is the least important aspect in determining character, yet it is often the most significant factor in how we are perceived. In Lived Experience, your students will be exposed to and asked questions they may not normally face in their everyday lives. Take a sports quiz that tests your knowledge of facts and stereotypes. Guess "Who is white?" Play the game of "Life" in someone else's shoes and find out how likely you are to be frisked at random by the NYPD.
EXPLORE: Lived Experience
Teacher Resources
Lesson plans and other related websites will augment the vast knowledge and new perspectives learned from the RACE Project. Teachers guides for middle and high school grades offer lessons, such as Culture Shapes How We See the World and Classifying Relatives, with an integrated approach to the topic of race and human variation.
DOWNLOAD: Teacher Resources
The RACE Project is an award-winning education program of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) that includes a nationwide traveling museum exhibit, interactive website, and education materials for middle school and older. AAA's mission is to support archaeological, biological, ethnological, and linguistic research, and to be a chief disseminator of anthropological knowledge for solving human problems.

Unhappy Cadillac Escalade owner
FALMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS -- I have to ask anyone and everyone that has owned a Cadillac Escalade or any GMC vehicle if they think that their vehicle is a luxurious "accident waiting to happen."
I bought the vehicle Dec 17, 2003 and it was an 02. I felt like a million bucks leaving the dealership. I had a smile that went from ear to ear and an energy that said, "I love life"-until seven months later...
I had complained about a malfunction of the breaks. It felt as though the ABS was engaging. I don't know if you can remember the sound an old ten speed bike used to make when you switch gears-the vibration and sound is what occurred when I would apply my foot to the break.
At the time of my first complaint, I felt a delay and heard a sound when I applied the breaks-my truck did not come to a complete stop-it kept going. The dealership stated it was my tires. Obviously both GMC and its certified dealerships have not "FIXED" the problem so the issue has only gotten worse-I am afraid to drive it-its sitting pretty in the driveway.
Here is a list of the history-of the "Spontaneous acceleration. " That's right my truck actually accelerates when you apply the brakes!!
June 30, 2004
I had complained of the issues with my vehicle stopping. The dealership "fixed" the problem by putting on 4 brand new tires however did not describe "why" I was there in their "reasons" for diagnosing the tires being replaced .Therefore GMC is stating that the issues didn't actually occur or were not due to faulty/malfunctioning breaking system. Why should I be responsible for their documentation when I go in for service? Why would anyone have a second thought when someone who is "certified" is paid to diagnose and "fix" a problem?
June 15, 2005 I had the same breaking issues and complained again to the, Certified dealership. They "fixed" the issue and replaced the rear break pads, rotors and rear brake shoes.
June 16, 2006 Same issues/complaints of break malfunction. Certified dealership "fixed" the issue by replacing the front brake pads, resurfaced all four brake rotors
June 22, 2006 Complained about breaking issue. The certified dealership "Fixed" the problem by replacing the Hub Bearing, replaced both ABS sensors and both bearings. My vehicle had 75, 000 miles on it at the time and was still under the certified "preloved" warranty.
March 19, 2008 complained to GMC about the inability to stop since the warranty expired. Another certified dealership "Fixed" the breaking complaint with ANOTHER Hub bearing replacement. HHMM can you say HUB BEARING (I am guessing the part is defective)
September 18,2008 Spoke with the GMC representative which is like speaking to a well scripted robot who is trained to deflect blame and/or responsibility. After describing the issues of NOT being able to STOP and the malfunctioning of the vehicle where it accelerates, the GMC representative asked again, "So when do you have this issue?" I said the following:
"Have you been listening at all to what I have said? Putting your foot on the break should be a lot like blinking-we shouldn't have to think about it. When was the last time you had to worry if you stepped on the break that your vehicle will plow into the driver in front of you?"
The GMC representative said, "I don't-So why don't you want to drive it to get diagnosed?" -Get the picture? GMC and their customer service sucks.
I was told in the very beginning that if I took my vehicle anywhere else other
than a GMC certified technician or dealership-the warranty coverage for any
issues would be at risk. Also the system that they used to diagnose is
computerized. So if the computer doesn't say there is an issue-they meaning the GMC certified technicians assume there is "no issue".
When I called GMC in March of 2008 they
were more interested in my next GMC purchase than what I was trying to complain about? Like I would EVER buy another GMC piece of ***.
GMC kept reminding me that regardless of the number of attempts I have
made to fix this ongoing issue with my break malfunction and the money that I have spent(time away from work, rental cars)-They won't take responsibility for a vehicle that is no longer under warranty, a vehicle that is 6yrs old and 105k miles. I have been a responsible owner and have been diligent in the maintenance of it. The breaks are only one issue I have had with this truck-New radiator, new transmission, new ride control and another four tires when the Hub bearing was replaced the second time. Issues with the oil(lots of changes-not consistent with 2000 miles)
Companies like GMC hope that consumer complaints will fade away into the backdrop when the consumer gets so frustrated and "give up". I am not one of those people.
Here is a list of some of their excuses:
*"It could have been a fluke"
*"It could have been your driving
*"You know that's common at slow speeds-My response is this "So when I hit a pedestrian should I tell them that too?"
*"We are not familiar with that issue with spontaneous/unexpected acceleration"
*"You should warm up the vehicle before you drive less than 10 miles an hour"
*"The sound is your muffler"
*"There is no issue with the breaking system. we have not been able to duplicate your complaints, so there is nothing wrong"
"The resistance to break could be the way you are applying your foot to the break pedal"-WHAT????!!!
My favorite response from GMC:
"I am so sorry you feel that way, I wish there is something we could do but it's not covered under warranty anymore. Your vehicle was not on the recall list. Yes the year and make was but "your" vehicle was not on the list for the recall."-When did vehicles have social security numbers?
After my ordeal with GMC and the performance issues with my Escalade I am a firm believer that Fred Flintstone probably had a GMC and was the only one that was happy with their product. You see Fred Flintstone didn't care about breaks, airbags,stearing issues, seat belts, windshield wipers that could cause a fire, his car exploding, stalling on a highway....These are some of the many issues the public is raving about on the web regarding GMC vehicles and the safety issues that occur with all makes and models belonging to GMC.
I have filed a complaint with NHTSA and have contacted several newspapers and consumer advocates. Only one person actually helped-a little. A consumer reporter from NBC placed a call to GMC and now I have to deal with "The Executive office". When I asked the GMC representative what her title was she said, "Executive office". I can only assume that she is not someone that can help, just another line of defense to make the a disappointed consumer "go away quietly".
I have done so much searching on the web. The public outcry against GMC is overwhelming. SAFETY is not a priority GMC considers as important as the expensive crap it puts out for unknowing consumers. God help us all when they put out their electric car in 2010. Yippeee another disaster. Hopefully they will go bankrupt before they put out yet another vehicle with safety issues.
All I want is for GMC to pay me the book value of my truck so that I can buy another vehicle that is not GMC. (They won't even pay for a tow to get my vehicle diagnosed. ) It's no wonder that Americans are buying more foreign vehicles and GMC sales are not what they used to be.
It is hard for me to deal with the fact as a consumer that I spent $53,109.00 for the certified pre-loved vehicle prior to all the money I have spent in getting the breaks to operate properly.

I have an 07 that hasn't given me any problems in the year plus I've had it, nor have I heard of this with others. It frankly does sound like some sort of fluke unique to your vehicle they just can't figure out.
Aerocave on 10/01/2008:
First of all, GMC is a division of General Motors (you kept referring to GMC when you meant GM). I am not here to downplay your complaint; Rather, I am surprised that your selling dealer did not involve the Cadillac Service Manager in your particular case...if your history with the brakes is what you say it is. It appears that they did attempt to fix the issue or several occasions (which appear to be a year apart)...and I'm sure it was at no cost to you. Safety issues are taken very seriously by most dealers and most definitely by the manufacturers.
I beg to differ with your opinions on General Motor's customer service. You have to understand, that with any large company, the customer service people field thousands of calls--some legitment--and some that are simply out of line. What they typically do is field the call and attempt to find out the information--keep in mind they are not aware of the issue in most cases and have to ask questions--they will then call the dealer (some of these people are extremely persistent by the way) and continue to monitor and follow up as necessary. As a dealer, we will attempt to fix and involve the GM Service Manager and/or GM Technical Assistance on issues that we cannot duplicate or are not sure what to do. I'm assuming that happened here?
I have to say, in 15 years in the car business, I am not real familiar with "spontaneous acceleration" type of issues on any GM products--nor any vehicles for that matter--that actually panned out to be mechanical flaws of the vehicle. I'm not downplaying your frustration, nor am I doubting your complaint, its just that with 105k miles on a 6 year old vehicle--the help you possibly could have had from GM expired a couple years and thousands of miles ago...you can't blame GM now for not helping you--to me it seems like the issue should have been pressed harder a couple years ago and now that it wasn't, you're upset and want results, that quite honestly, aren't going to happen.
General Motors does build safe vehicles and they do care...unfortunately, some do have issues. However, we sell Hondas at our store as well--and they break too.

Since you've made several references to 'break issues,' what kind of issues were broken? :)

GM Warranty Owners Beware
Posted by
Now if you read this entire ordeal you would see my frustration. It is a bit long, so here is a summary of problems.
1. A dealership not paying attention to its customer or their car issues
2. Being stuck 300 miles from home due to that lack of attention
3. Not being able to locate my vehicle for 15.5 hours after being towed
4. Told to pay for a problem that was never fixed the first time
5. Having 3 different people at GMPP say that my deductible has been waived
6. Being told by the dealership, they won't release the car without paying the deductible. After speaking to 1 person at GMPP.
7. Having to get money back that should never have been paid.
On 1/27/2010 I brought my Cadillac Escalade EXT (65,000 miles) to Avenue Chevrolet in Batavia, Illinois. My truck had several issues, but the main reason for going to the dealership was the vehicle stalling between first and second gear shifts. I explained to the service desk what the issues were. He didn't seem to fully listen to my complaints, but said it would all be taken care of.
He failed to write down that the gauges would stick. Especially the speedometer.
I returned to the dealership on 2/1/2010. I pay my $200 deductible, but talking to the mechanic he said they could not get the vehicle to stall out. I was told to drive it and bring the vehicle back if the problem persists. I left the shop and drove away(approx. 2 miles). It stalled twice. The mechanic hooked the diagnostics to the vehicle and there were no codes. I was again told to drive it around and if it comes back, to let them know.
Again, I left the dealership, and it stalled. There were three additional stalls bringing it back to the dealership. I recorded two times on video via my phone. The mechanic took the truck back. The next day I was told the truck is fine. A dirty speed sensor was to blame my problems.
On 2/16/10, my speedometer stuck and began to malfunction. When I brought it back to Avenue Chevrolet, service said I never complained about this issue and that wouldn't be covered. After speaking with GMPP and service, they took the truck back and replaced the instrument cluster.
Fast forward to 3/9/2010. I am in Detroit, Michigan when my truck stalls between first gear and second gear. After the vehicle stalled, it would not shift into fourth gear. I call GM to have my vehicle towed to the closest dealership, Les Stanford in Dearborn, MI.
The vehicle was towed by Metro Sales & Service, Inc at 7:30 PM EST. I was told to contact Les Stanford the next morning. Now, I am in Detroit, Michigan, 300 miles away from home without my car. The car that was said to be fixed, but has the same problems after being "fixed." I was able to get home borrowing a car.
I called the dealer on 3/10/10 at 9:10 AM EST to find out that, "...The vehicle is not at our dealership, we don't know where it is." I called Metro Sales & Service immediately. The operator says they can not get in contact with their tow agent and that he seems to have his phone turned off. I finally receive a call from the dealership at 10:53 AM EST saying that my vehicle just then arrived. So where was my truck between 7:30 PM to 10:53 AM EST the next day? Nobody would tell me what happened.
Now I am working with Brian, the Cadillac Service Manager. They have truck for about a week and a half. When he calls to tell me that the truck is done. They had to install a new regulator for first and second gear. (What should have been done the first time!) I am again to pay another $200 for the warranty deductible.
I contacted Tony at General Motors Protection Plan (GMPP) on 3/22/10 and explain the situation. Truck continues to stall even after it was "fixed." He tells me that his paperwork doesn't state transmission issues were ever documented. I explain that transmission issues were the real reason why I even went to the dealership. Tony tells me that he can waive the warranty deductible, but I need to fax him my invoice from the first dealership.
I faxed it on 3/23/10. I called Brian at Les Stanford on 3/25/10 to verify that he received the information from GMPP regarding my deductible. He said no. I called GMPP immediately and spoke with Peter. He said I was to have the dealer call their 800 number and give them my claim number. GMPP was to explain to the dealer that my deductible was indeed waived.
I called the dealer on 3/26/10 and left a message with instructions. Also, that the car would be picked up on 3/29/10. If there were any problems, CALL ME ASAP.
I have the car picked up on 3/29/10 and get a call from Brian. He states that he spoke with GMPP saying that the deductible was NEVER waived. The car would not be released without paying the deductible in full. I had friends doing me a HUGE favor and getting my vehicle for me. I said I'll just pay it and deal with GMPP. So I proceed with payment and the car is picked up.
Again, I call GMPP right after, and speak with Glenn. Glenn states that AGAIN that the deductible was waived and that whoever spoke to the dealer didn't read everything. Glenn said that below this claim with Les Stanford, it clearly said the deductible was WAIVED. Glenn then explains how I can get my deductible back from GMPP.
I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE. At 27, I have many years of driving and car buying. My next car is coming from anyone else other that General Motors.

I believe your story. GM representatives couldn't care less about there customers. My complaints were also ignored by GM. My husband has purchased nothing but GM products. Not any more. I'm looking for a new car now and feel as you do. Anything but a GM CAR.

Cadillac Cost of ownership Prohibitive
Posted by
GM has not yet understood that customer satisfaction is primarily determined by cost of ownership. That is, the purchase price plus repair cost over a reasonable lifetime. The cost of ownership of this Cadillac is substantially higher than the purchase price after only 60,000 miles of normal use. The blower unit went out after 21,000 miles. The plastic top of the dashboard separated from its glue and curled up after 40,000 miles. An electric window went out after 52,000 miles. Both left and right coils went out after 56,000 miles and a leaky water pump had to be replaced after 58,000 miles. The knee bolster under the steering column no longer stays on because all of the clip mounts that hold it in place have been broken by dealer mechanics.
It appears that GM has been caught up in "the sell the product at a loss and make money on the after sales parts" conundrum. Similar to selling ink jet printers below cost to make money selling expensive ink cartridges. When little or no money is made selling the car then the profit must come from selling parts at inflated prices. For example, when the cable that opens and closes the window breaks the entire window sub-assembly must be replaced at a cost of several hundred dollars. The cable that costs a few dollars cannot be replaced.
It is understood why sub-assemblies are replaced instead of individual parts because the number of parts required in inventory is significantly reduced. The problem is that reducing inventory cost by reducing parts with sub-assemblies is that the consumer pays much more for repair and the cost of ownership skyrockets. The service manager noted during the service review that they often service broken window cables so why does this problem persist? If a multi-hundred dollar sub-assembly must be replaced for a simple cable then shouldn't the cable problem be corrected? Or is it too profitable to sell an entire sub-assembly for a few hundred dollars caused by a broken cable that costs a few dollars? What happens to the sub-assembly that is replaced? Is it rebuilt with a new cable, returned to inventory and resold?
Another example is that the clip mounts used to hold on interior trim appears to be designed to break when the trim is removed. Each time a dealer mechanic removed the knee bolster for service they broke one or more clip mounts. Now there is only one clip barely holding the knee bolster on. The clips are not broken. The posts where the clips are mounted are broken. Because the posts are part of the knee bolster then the entire knee bolster must be replaced at a couple of hundred dollars because of a few broken plastic mounts. Wouldn't a little more plastic to make stronger mounts make more sense than having to replace an entire part after being removed 3 or 4 times? Or is it more profitable to sell the entire part for a couple of hundred dollars?
Relying on after sales parts and service for profitability is an indicator of a dying company. When a company cannot make profit from selling the product then surviving on after sales parts and service is only a temporary reprieve from failure. Eventually, the higher cost of owneship drives away customers so there is less product sold and less product to service. GM should stop selling inferior cars at a loss and relying on parts and service for profit and begin selling quality cars at a profit that require less service and lower the cost of ownerhip that increases the value of the car which in turn increases price and profitablility.

Faulty Cable Wire for Power Windows in Cadillac
Posted by
MOULTRIE, GEORGIA -- The cable wire for the power windows in our 2003 Cadillac Deville has broken on all four windows. They cost almost $400.00 each. They have been breaking for years. We are told that we must roll the windows down every week for the lifetime of the car, or this will keep happening, which it has. Over and over again, these cables keep breaking. GM was aware of this problem back in 2005 and changed the material from stainless steel to a galvanized wire because the stainless was becoming oxidized and fragile. They expect this 86 year old elderly man who can only walk very short distances to go to his car and roll the windows down every week to prevent this problem.
My sister (had) a 2004 Cadillac that had the same problem and she was having to replace the cables twice a year. Another friend with a Buick is having the same problem. My husband is a WWII vet who served on the USS Hornet and was at the battle of Okinawa. This is how our elderly are treated by big business. He has used GM vehicles most of his life and should not have to go buy another car at 86 years of age when this car only has 50,000 miles on it. But he can't afford to be buying $400.00 cable wires every 2 years.

That sounds like something GM should find a fix for. However, the age and military record of the car owner has no relevance to the complaint.
FoDaddy19 on 06/26/2013:
If they replaced the broken part with the updated corrected part then this shouldn't be an issue, with that said, I don't see how lowering the windows will make any difference at all. The cable the supplies to power to the power window regulators shouldn't be moving at all regardless of the position of the windows.
jvgwp on 06/28/2013:
When the cable breaks, the window drops all the way down and you can't raise it back up. It sounds like a gun shot when it breaks. They can't replace the broken cable with the new galvanized material. They claim the new material cables cannot be used. The sizes are different, so they put the same faulty stainless cable in the car which again oxidize after a couple of years and break again.

Poor product quality in Cadillac
Posted by
I bought a Cadillac STS and thought I was getting a quality product, backed up by a quality organization - I was wrong on both accounts.
At 40k miles my STS Northstar engine began burning oil - lots of it. Not a leak anywhere. Not a drop on the garage floor. At 42k miles the oil consumption reached a level of 1 Qt for every 700 miles.
I took it to the local dealer, only to be told that they would not repair an engine that was "normal" I said - you have to be kidding - I have never had an engine that consumed a QT of oil every 700 miles and it was considered "normal". This is the equivalent of adding a GALLON OF OIL between 3500 mile oil changes.
The service mgr took me to his office, pulled out a service bulletin that read: "unless your Northstar engine consumes oil at the rate of 1 Qt per 500 miles or less; it is considered normal".
Totally unacceptable - I will NEVER BY A GM PRODUCT OF ANY SORT EVER AGAIN.

There is a LOT of information on oil consumption in the Northstar engine. I spent only 4 minutes reading.
First of all, if a motor runs fine there isn't a reason to tear it apart just to fix oil consumption. This assumes ugly smoke isn't billowing out the exhaust.
Second, the Northstar is a high performance engine - it likes to be pushed hard once awhile. Like almost redline. Puttering around all the time will lead to higher oil consumption. You can halve your consumption by pushing the engine harder occasionally. I have the same issue with my turbo Volvos.
I don't know what you expect GM to do. Your car isn't leaking oil and evidently runs fine.
butch cole on 02/21/2012:
The only way to fix that problem is to buy a japannese car,they care what they make/sell,GM doesn't.no matter what the idiot said above,oil consumption is poor quality.Get a trouble free Lexus or infinity,you'll be glad you did.
Keith Fontaine on 11/30/2012:
A quart of oil for every 700 miles is totally unacceptable in my books. If it's not leaking oil, like the man says, then it's oil getting into the combustion chamber and is being burned. Either worn valve guides or worn rings, or, it's an engine that has been shoddily assembled!
jeff on 06/13/2013:
I will admit north stars are a crap engine and very difficult tol work on but however gm makes a great deal of good engines and cars you could buy a Lexus or infinity but we here in America don't need to be sending our money overseas. ever time u make a payment to toyota motor credit that's what ur doing the best thing to do is get a slightly better car and do ur home work before u buy
gm makes a great 4 cyl very little problems eco tech motor and it comes in equinox which is a fairly large vech and they run good and get great gas mileage
John Vanderaerden on 08/31/2013:
We are supposed to be living in the number 1 industrialized country in the world, it is unaceptable that one of the greatest auto makers in the world produce and sell a engine known to comsume and leaking oil before the 100 000 miles and use it in one of the emblematic cars representing our country in the world, like Cadillac does building limos for our president, it is a shame and GM must pay for that, my family has been loyal to gm for almost 70 years, not anymore, Lincoln town cars from now on.l

Two Major Repairs Needed On A Car That Has 24k Miles
Posted by
DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- I have a 2008 Cadillac CTS with 24,000 miles on it that I bought brand new. I first want to say I love the looks and handling of the car - when it isn't in the repair shop for major repairs.
This past December, the entire computer system went out. After taking it to the dealer, I was told by the service tech, "Yea, we've seen this before. GM used a cheap plastic clip to secure the entire electrical wiring harness and the clips tend to break in cold weather causing the wiring harness to get sliced and chopped by the fan". The entire wiring harness was replaced.
Then, on April 15, the check engine light came on. I immediately took the car to my local Cadillac dealer. They ran the diagnostics and stated there were two major problems with my car.
First, the timing chain/belt was stretched (common problem with the 2008 CTS, the dealer told me). Second, the cam and crank shaft would need to be repaired/replaced, and their service department was short handed and I would have to take the car to the selling dealer, some 25 miles away. The service tech also stated, "we've seen almost a dozen CTSs with the same problem," in a "business as usual type of attitude. He also said this was a major repair requiring engine removal.
As I am writing this, the car is at the selling dealer waiting for parts from GM (I only hope the dealer gets them before GM goes belly up...)
There is something amiss when GM's flagship car line is this unreliable. The selling dealer has been cordial and provided a loner car, but that does not cover the monthly note I must still pay even though I can't use the vehicle. And if I had to endure two major repairs on a %50,000 car with only 24,000 miles on it, what may I look forward to when the car has 34,000, 44,000 and 54,000 miles on it?
This is my first and LAST Cadillac.
I always try to support American automobiles companies but with GM's lack of attention to reliability on their flagship car line (never mind their other car lines), I suppose they are going to get what they deserve when the bankruptcy gavel falls on them, and after getting burned with the CTS, I will shed no tears.
I also have a 1998 Lincoln Nagivator with almost 200,000 miles on it and a 2004 Lincoln LS with 140,000 miles on it. Neither of these vehicles have EVER had a major repair and both still operate well today.
Good bye GM. May you get what you deserve.
Ford, I'm, sorry I left you but I'll be back to see you about a new vehicle just as soon as the CTS piece of crap is fixed.

My Dream car has been nothing but a Nightmare!

Very Dissappointed
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA -- March 30, 2008
My name is Hellen Hammond and I am from Eufaula. Alabama. On October 2007 I purchased a 2007 Cadallic Escalade which I have always heard and Thought it was everyone's Dream Car! but it has turned out to be my biggest nightmare and no one seems to care! I have been purchasing GM Vechiles for the past 20 years and in the last 15 I have bought one a year every year! I bought this vechile and I have had problems with it from day one and who gives a dang! Certainly not the dealership nor this corporation....you got your $68,000.00 who cares that it is in the shop every month....
The wind noise from the drivers window and sunroof sound as if you are driving down the interstate at 70 miles per hours with the windows down! All I hear from the service is "It is the aerodynamics of the car" or we hear the noise but don't know what to do to fix it! Well for that amount of money I shouldn't hear a noise at all, I have had to replace, the molding around the windows, the Passengers door handle, Passengers mirror, hub caps, winshield washer sensors, cluster sensors, you name it and I don't have but 7100 miles on this car. The dealership (Columbus Ga) has never once offered to help me out. They never sent the referral fee to the person who referred me. Now thery will be happy to trade me out of my car for another but of course that are $10,000.00 more than mine and with a down payment they could help me get out of this. I sure they would I put 17,000.00 cash on this and there were rebates not to mention I traded a paid off car in also.
I just want someone to help me with my problem. When I filled out the survey on line and complained I had no response! I mailed 2 surveys in with compaints on them and I have heard from no one. Feel free to contact me at (snip) anytime.
Thank you,

for your wind noise issue, did you not test drive the car at highway speed, its not like it all of a sudden started being loud, it was always there, you would have noticed that while on test drive. oh and for the record I don't an Escalade is everyones "dream car" mine is Nissan Skyline GTR35
Sparticus on 03/30/2008:
Some dealerships are no where near highways. When I bought my truck there wasn't a highway for 15 miles. So I didn't do any highway speed tests.

I think if I was spending 68K for a car I would drive it to a highway to test it.
Anonymous on 03/31/2008:
Helen, take a friend to another dealer. "Test drive" another vehicle just like yours at 70MPH. If there is wind noise, it is likely a design flaw in all similar vehicles and you are out of luck for not noticing it before buying. BUT!!! If there is no wind noise with the test vehicle, it is a defect with your vehicle...and you will have a rebuttal to their dodge that it is the 'aerodynamics of the car'...since 'aerodynamics of the car' should affect all similarly equipped models. Good luck!

Customer Satisfaction Procedure
Your satisfaction and goodwill are important to your dealer and to Cadillac. Normally, any concerns with the sales transaction or the operation of the vehicle will be resolved by the dealer's sales or service departments. Sometimes, however, despite the best intentions of all concerned, misunderstandings can occur. If your concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction, the following steps should be taken:
STEP ONE: Discuss your concern with a member of dealership management. Normally, concerns can be quickly resolved at that level. If the matter has already been reviewed with the sales, service or parts manager, contact the owner of the dealership or the general manager.
STEP TWO : If after contacting a member of dealership management, it appears your concern cannot be resolved by the dealership without further help, in the United States, call the Cadillac Customer Assistance Center, 24 hours a day, at 1-800-458-8006. In Canada, call the Canadian Cadillac Customer Communication Centre at 1-888-446-2000. We encourage you to call the toll-free number in order to give your inquiry prompt attention. Have the following information available to give the Customer Assistance Representative:
⢠Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is available from the vehicle registration or title, or the plate at the top left of the instrument panel and visible through the windshield.
⢠Dealership name and location.
⢠Vehicle delivery date and present mileage.
When contacting Cadillac, remember that your concern will probably be resolved at a dealer's facility. That is why we suggest following Step One first.
STEP THREE (U.S. Owners): Both General Motors and your dealer are committed to making sure you are completely satisfied with your new vehicle. However, if you continue to remain unsatisfied after following the procedure outlined in Steps One and Two, you can file with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Auto Line Program to enforce your rights. The BBB Auto Line Program is an out of court program administered by the Council of Better Business Bureaus to settle automotive disputes regarding vehicle repairs or the interpretation of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Although you may be required to resort to this informal dispute resolution program prior to filing a court action, use of the program is free of charge and your case will generally be heard within 40 days. If you do not agree with the decision given in your case, you may reject it and proceed with any other venue for relief available to you. You may contact the BBB Auto Line Program using the toll-free telephone number or write them at the following address:
BBB Auto Line Program
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Boulevard
Suite 800
Arlington, VA 22203-1838

Helen, I feel your pain. I have a 2007 Tahoe with an electrical problem that drains the battery. I've had no resolution and, like you, the dealer and GM couldn't care less. Hey, yours might be noisy but at least it starts when you turn the key. :-) I COMPLETELY understand your frustration!
Master Shake on 03/31/2008:
Its a nice looking vehicle, but my dream car doesn't include poor gas mileage, a massive carbon footprint, and little regard for the pollutants that it spews.
Anonymous on 03/31/2008:
TLC, you better watch that Tahoe! They had one near here burn a house down last month. It was sitting all night and then suddenly went up in flames. The owners had in for service several times for electrical issues.
Aerocave on 04/01/2008:
I'm sorry, but large SUV's with mirrors that are double the size of cars at 70 mph are going to have wind noise. Its the "nature of the beast." Not saying there is not a problem here, but you stated: "The wind noise from the drivers window and sunroof sound as if you are driving down the interstate at 70 miles per hours with the windows down!--if it is that bad I have a hard time believing that nothing can be found! A lot wind noise complaints are normal characteristics of the vehicle--we get the most on SUV's--usually because the person owned a car previously. (Again, maybe that's not the case here, but...)
I am not trying to discredit your post, but you mentioned you had an issue with the "hubcaps"--Cadillac Esclade's do not have hubcaps--they have polished alloy wheels. The only issue I have ever seen with a wheel that has NOT been the result of hitting a curb or pothole or some other fact of driving has been the with the finish--of which would be a warranty issue. Again, not trying to discredit you, but I'm just not buying in to your statement that no one cares at GM.
Very Dissappointed on 04/01/2008:
I thank all of you for your comments...But I did test drive the escalade...and no I did not go on the interstate! Most car dealerships ride with you and No they do not go on the interstate! This is not a used auto, and I stand corrected it is not a hub cap it is the center cap that rattle and make noise. The mirrors are standard mirrors and I have never had a problem with any of the auto I have purchased.
And if they hear the noise but don't know how to fix it what's with that! I have driven every Brand New loaner car they gave me while mine is in the shop and NO I do not hear wind noise from the sunroof nor drivers window> "Think maybe I might have gotten a lemon?" As far as it being a gas guzzler and all I am blessed not to have to worry about gas prices, it is something I will buy if the auto gets 35 miles to the gallon or if it gets 10 miles....gas mileage is not the problem.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- Looking at General Motors' stock price I had to laugh today. It took a few years after my last GM product, but finally the chickens are coming home to roost.
First history of my GM purchases. 81 Chevy wagon with diesel engine. Problems: 2 broken valve lifters in the first week of operation; blown head gasket just 14 months later. GM would not repair head gasket because warranty had expired. There was later a successful class-action suit over these mis-engineered engines. (See the piston slap problem cited at the end of this rant to confirm that GM is still treating their customers like dirt. Some companies are too bone-headed to learn anything.)
Traded the GM diesel on an '83 Buick Park Avenue. At the end of the warranty period on the Buick, my folder of warranty repairs was more than an inch thick.
Bought an '86 Cadillac with the aluminum/cast iron engine. The #1 cam lobe wore completely off the camshaft at 53000 miles -- 3,000 miles after warranty was over. Additionally, the head-gasket had blown in three places. The service writer at Cadillac told me "it happens all the time." GM's response? A $2,000 coupon good on my next Cadillac purchase, and believe me, I wasted days on trying to get just the cost of my repairs covered. This Cadillac is the only car that left my family stranded at the side of the road on three different trips. NO WONDER THEY DEVELOPED ON-STAR! GM knew they more than any other manufacturer needed a way to rescue stranded motorists!
My next car was a 1993 Lexus. I have bought nothing but Lexii for the last 10 years, for myself and all family members. There has never been a problem which could not be fixed, or a time when the Lexus mechanics had to scratch their heads and say (as I saw the GM mechanics do at least 50% of the time I had a problem), "I'm not really sure how to fix that." I tried to buy American for 30 years, but after switching to Lexus - I have been able to drive without ever worrying about what is about to go wrong with my car and my cost of ownership is half of what it was with GM products. THAT IS FREEDOM!
More GM problems? Check out http://www.lemonlaw.com/gm-engine-problem.html for a recent horror show from GM. They say piston-slap is a problem on their expensive trucks. Their response now is the same as it was years ago to my Cadillac engine rebuild.

Shame, another example of a loyal American car buyer making the switch. GM used to build a car as good as anyone, and still can. They'd better turn things around quick though. Time is starting to work against them. I have never heard Lexii used as a Lexus plural, but it does sound good.
Anonymous on 11/16/2005:
Yeah, they don't make 'em like they used to. The last GM product I owned was a '67 chevelle. Wasn't much of a show-piece, but it ran well and the backseat was spacious!

Front Head Rest
Posted by
DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- The front headrest are too large for the driver to see out of the passenger's side rear seat window. The headrest is too large and it needs to be smaller. We have owned Cadillac's since 1985 and this one is the worse one we have had due to the front headrest. I cannot understand the department of transportation approving such a large headrest.
The internet is full of people complaining about them. No shop will due anything about them due to the possible liability to remove them and/or cut them down for better visual use.
Can anyone do anything?

I don't believe so. No, you would never get anyone reputable to modify them, due to liability. If they did, and one failed in an accident, they could kiss their business goodbye.
The manufacturer's reply to this would be to use your mirrors, as wrong as that may seem.
razzle on 01/19/2012:
All headrest that I know of pull out. Just hold the tab in on the plastic collar around the hole of one on the rods and pull it out. Put it in when you have a passenger.
FoDaddy19 on 01/19/2012:
The larger headrests you see in newer car cars are there for safety standards. And yes no outfit will touch them due to the liability issues.
CowboyFan on 01/19/2012:
I would think that the distance between the holes in which the headrest is inserted, would be of similar size for all vehicles manufactered by Cadillac. Go to a junk yard, find another, older Cadillac with similar interior color and fabric, buy their smaller headrests, insert them in your car, probalem solved. If you cannot find the exact same color, etc., take the junkyard headrest to an automotive upholstery shop and have them covered to match your car. (You could also probable buy them new from the dealer, but that wouild be more expensive.)

GPS in Cadillac
Posted by
DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- I own a 2008 Cadillac DTS Platuium Series. Its listed as a $2,000.00 item. However, I also own a TomTom GPS that cost me $200.00.
The TomTom is so much superior to the Cadillac GPS. Hundreds of more features - better routing choices - just overall it makes the Cadillac GPS seem like a cheap knockoff.
I would think that Cadillac would have a GPS that is at least equal to those manufactured by TomTom and other GPS makers.
I will not purchase another Cadillac unless there are improvements in the GPS. Storage space in my Cadillac is also lacking. Glove box is very small and inadequate.
Runs and rides great but small things mean a lot.

I would suggest to get a Cadillac Escalade as everything is spacious in there. I have ridden in a CTS and there is no leg room in the back seat.
KCRovert on 08/11/2009:
You can purchase a $200 stand-alone GPS product, that has all the bells & whistles you like....but you won't buy another Cadillac because their GPS is left wanting (in your opinion)? What's to stop you from buying the Cadillac without the built-in GPS and just using your TomTom?
Anonymous on 08/11/2009:
The only thing that makes a built in GPS better is that they are more accurate. The major negative is that they are expensive to update. Your real complaint is the lack of storage space. You didn't note that when examining the vehicle before purchase?
The installed GPS/audio system can be replaced with a better unit for about $700 with maybe $150 to install.
MRM on 08/11/2009:
I agree, KC and PassingBy, it is mind boggling indeed.
DigitalCommando on 08/11/2009:
A bic lighter works better and is faster than the vehicles built-in cigarette lighter also. I don't hear you complaining about that. Maybe you should ask TomTom to build a vehicle you will be happy with around its gps unit?
Anonymous on 08/11/2009:
Every time I see an Escalade on the highway, it reminds me of the madame in the old westerns, big, fat and all tarted-up.
BokiBean on 08/11/2009:
For God's sake, Ken..I can't believe you're talking about Miss Kitty that way!

Etnies is pure quality, and the shipping was free when i got them (home delivery) + that they had a price cut and i found a discount so all landed on around 49€ im really happy with them they look splendid \ (^ o ^) /
Charlotte Bates
Bought as a present for my husband for Christmas. He loves them!
He wears Etnies all the time as they are very comfortable, as do I.
These in particular are a really nice style.
Etnies shoes? Great style- tight at first but break in fast & then they are worth the $$. Have bought ONLY Etnies for over 14 years. Will continue to do the same.

An International, Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Study of Rindopepimut/GM-CSF with Adjuvant Temozolomide in Patients with Newly Diagnosed, Surgically Resected, EGFRvIII-positive Glioblastoma
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether adding treatment with rindopepimut (also known as CDX-110) to the commonly used chemotherapy drug called temozolomide helps to shrink brain tumors or prevents brain tumors from growing and helps patients with brain tumors live longer than treatment with temozolomide alone. Temozolomide is a standard treatment for glioblastoma and all patients in this study will be administered temozolomide according to routine practice. The study will also see how treatment affects your quality of life. Additional studies may be performed to see how your body's immune system (the system your body uses to fight cancer, infections and "foreign bodies") is reacting to the treatment. The study will also see what side effects there are when injections of rindopepimut are given along with the commonly used temozolomide chemotherapy. Patients assigned to receive temozolomide alone will be given Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) as a "placebo" injection. A placebo injection is a shot that is given without any expected therapeutic benefit. The purpose of the placebo is to disguise which treatment you are receiving from you and your doctor. KLH is one of the components (or parts) of the rindopepimut vaccine as well. This is a Phase 3 study. A phase 3 study is a study that is designed to confirm the results seen in earlier studies with the investigational agent. About half of the patients will receive rindopepimut and half will receive KLH. The study treatments will be blinded, which means that neither you nor your study doctor will know whether you are receiving rindopepimut or KLH. This kind of study is called a "randomized, double-blind, controlled study," and it is the best way to determine the effect of rindopepimut on newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Rindopepimut is an investigational medication. An investigational medication is one that is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use by the general public. Because this is a research study, rindopepimut will be given to you only during this study and not after the study is over.

What to do?
Coming home from work last night, I came across an oncoming semi driver that was attempting to avoid an Amish buggy. In his effort to swerve around the buggy, he proceeded to cross the center line, causing me to have to then avoid the semi. Is this right? Should semi drivers pass an Amish buggy without even slowing down, therefore endangering the oncoming traffic who is rightfully in their own lane? This happens all too often on US 27 especially around drive home time (5:00pm).
Should there be a law that forces people to slow down for buggies and wait to pass until it's safe? Or perhaps the berm is not wide enough for Amish? I respect the Amish community and do not wish for anyone, Amish or white man to be injured on our roads.

I know it's been two years since this was written but I wanted to reply. I agree. It is very dangerous and what really upsets me is that semi trucks can see farther than cars so there is no doubt in my mind the driver saw you. I would assume it is a law already but did you call the police department? They might be able to tell you if it is or isn't. I remember there was a campaign a few years back about sharing the road with buggies. If these laws were posted on signs I think it would help with keeping the Amish and everyone else safe.

This is an eye-opening, must-watch survey of existing nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological threats to our wellbeing. What is out there? Who controls them? Will they be used?
- For over a decade, MODERN MARVELS has brought grand stories to life.
- The ultimate celebration and investigation of engineering excellence.
- These weapons are most feared for the indiscriminate nature of their destruction.
Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, MODERN MARVELS® tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.
As modern warfare and weapons technology moves toward greater precision and limitation of collateral fatality, a far-less accurate and more terrifying class of deadly force fills arsenals around the world.
Because their potential for destruction is so great, and because they are so easy to transport and deploy covertly, merely the threat of developing WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION is sufficient to send nations to war.
In this comprehensive documentary, MODERN MARVELS® delves into the world of WMDs from the cutting-edge to the surprisingly effective low-tech, from the awesome power of nuclear bombs to microscopic anthrax spores.
Discover who possesses these nightmare weapons and explore the danger posed by terrorists with deadly technologies. Using the latest computer modeling, witness the deadly radioactive plume that would result from a dirty bomb attack in Seattle. Investigate how bio-agents are developed and understand the technology currently used to identify and prevent suicide bombings.
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION have made the world a terribly dangerous place, but this program shows how scientists and governments are striving for lasting solutions.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
