Love the wash!

Comments about 7 For All Mankind Classic Straight Leg in Los Angeles Dark:
I love these jeans! I bought a second pair - exact same size and they seem a little tight. I am going to order up a size so I can sit comfortably. The fit is slender and they are perfect to wear with heels or go into boots without being skinny jeans. I'm 5'6" and the hem is perfect with 3-4 heels - longer than my last pair so I can't complain. I know they will shrink some in length even though I don't dry them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My favorite pair of jeans EVER
By Michelle
from Columbus, OH
About Me Casual, Classic, Sexy, Trendy
I bought a pair of these jeans 3 years ago and pretty much haven't stopped wearing them since (not really but I wear them A LOT). They are incredibly comfortable and have worn very well. The jeans still look nice despite the fabric being almost worn away in some places. I was so excited to find that they are still available and just bought another pair!

I love 7 classic jeans!
By ACS1986
from New York, NY
About Me Career, Classic
I own the original bootcut, actually 2 pairs. They're the only jean's I've found that fit my waist and my thighs. I'm fairly athletic with some muscle and I don't have very wide hips. These fit like a dream. They stretch out a full size, so the 28 fits great in store, I bought the 27 because they stretch out so much. Love them! Thinking about getting them in white :)Just for reference I'm 5'8", 135lbs, athletic build.
Jeans that work

About Me Classic
I'm 40--I want to look stylish--not like my mother, but not like I'm striving to be 25. I'm almost 5'7, 130 pounds, and got the Size 28. Straight legs and slim fit without suctioning to my thighs or calves. I've worn with heels straight and tucked into boots. A keeper!

About Me Bargain Shopper, Classic, Trendy
Gorgeous pair of jeans. I bought these with a 30% off promo code. They are a bit too long. I normally by inseams of 33 on bootcut jeans but for straight leg on me I need a shorter inseam. 31-32. Great pair of jeans for the price I paid though. Will be buying 7's again.
One of the best in Jeans

About Me Career, Eclectic
Product has a great cut, makes legs look long and sleek. Material is soft and very comfortable. I think the low rise is a tad large, but everything else seems true to size. Great dark denim color.

I love these jeans!
By New York Doll
from Portland,Oregon
I love these jeans, but I wish that the inseam was shorter because i had to hem my pair of jeans by 5 inches. I ordered a size 24 and it fits great, but i wish that the waist could be smaller.A size 23 definetley won't fit me, a pair of size 24 jeans with a size 23 waist would fit me prefectly.
LOVE LOVE LOVE these jeans!

About Me Casual, Classic, Trendy
These jeans are by far my favorite pair of 7's that I own! Great to dress up or down, they look great with everything! Awesome coloring that doesn't fade (even after 2 years!) I love these jeans and highly recommend them.

Why do more expensive drugs work better than cheaper ones?A couple years ago, my patient, Mary, came to see me complaining that her antidepressant medication wasn't working since she started getting the newly arrived generic version ($15/month vs. $180/month previously). There is overwhelming data that generic drugs are just as effective as their more expensive branded sisters. What was going on with Mary and her antidepressant?Dan Ariely, a behavioral economist recruited 82 volunteers to read about a new potent, rapidly acting pain medicine, recently approved by the FDA. Actually the pill was a placebo (sugar pill). Half the volunteers were told the new drug cost $2.50 per pill and the other half were told it cost 10 cents. Each group received the identical sugar pill.The volunteers were each given a series of shocks to their wrists, once before being given the "pain pill" and again after the pill. They were asked to evaluate the severity of each of the shocks. Then Dr. Ariely calculated the differences in the before and after responses ...i.e. how well did the pain medicine work?The results:Expensive Placebo Cheap Placebo 35/41 (85%) 25/41 (61%) ( % with a reduction in pain )So both the cheap and expensive sugar pills worked, but the $2.50 pill clearly relieved pain better than its cheap counterpart. The little study is strong support for the "placebo effect," but may also explain the failure of Mary's generic antidepressant. We are indoctrinated to: "You get what you pay for," and "there is no free lunch." Generic drugs, and The Free Press, are two notable exceptions.Dr. Mohler has practiced family medicine in Grand Junction for 38 years. He has a particular interest in pharmaceutical education.

The difference between the medium and soft compound Pirelli tyres is so great that it completely changes a car's handling says Felipe Massa.
The Brazilian was seventh fastest in Friday's first practice for the Chinese Grand Prix, 1.378 seconds off the pace of Nico Rosberg's Mercedes. All the teams ran on medium compound tyres during the session and Massa immediately complained of graining on his front right tyre.
However, with a switch to soft tyres for the second session, the Ferrari's came to the fore with Massa topping the charts and Fernando Alonso third fastest.
While unhappy with the F138's performance on the medium compound, the 31-year-old believes that the results on the soft tyres give the team reason to be optimistic ahead of Sunday's race.
"Today, I immediately had a good feeling in the car and even if, at the start, I was not completely happy with the performance of the Medium compound and we were not as quick as our rivals, the times were good all the same," he explained.
"When I fitted the Softs, the car improved a lot and this meant I was able to set the fastest time of the day. It was impressive, like driving two completely different cars.
"Our race pace looks competitive, the car is handling well on both types of tyre and degradation was not excessive, even if the higher wear rate of the Soft compared to the Medium compound will be an important factor when it comes to choosing the right strategy. I feel confident and hope that the whole weekend can keep moving in this direction".
Given the variance in the tyre performance, Alonso believes that the grand prix will be won and lost by race strategy.
"Once again, tyres will play a key role in this Grand Prix because of the high level of degradation over a long run. We will have to ensure we pick the right strategy for Sunday, as well as deciding on which of the new parts we tried this morning to fit to the car. As usual, we can expect a long evening studying the data," said the Spaniard.

Hi, I'm Bridget, welcome to my Best Sewing Machine and Sewing Machine Reviews website. I think sewing stuff is just about the best pastime ever, and useful too, don't you think? Nowadays with electronic and computerized sewing machines, life is so much easier.
I've been sewing stuff for years and years and used many models of sewing machines. I always give the old ones away(they weren't really that old but I outgrew them fast) or trade them in when I upgrade to something new. They can also be sold second hand if they're still in one piece (99 percent are, unless you make a habit of dropping them) and working fine.
How to Choose the Best Sewing Machine
Now, I didn't say it was an easy thing to choose the best sewing machine for beginners. You need to know what you want now, and plan ahead for what you might want in a year or two. It could be that you only want to sew hubby's trousers hems now, but suddenly you find that you want to take up embroidery as a hobby. Bear in mind that you can always upgrade to something fancy later on as long as your budget allows. A few important things to think about to help you start in your purchase are:
- Type of work/functions – First things first, decide what you want your sewing machine for. I wouldn't recommend buying a sewing machine with all the fancy functions if you aren't going to use them, since the price difference can be large. If you're buying the sewing machine as a gift, find out what features suit the person you're giving it too.
- Portability – If you plan to bring the sewing machine to sewing classes, get something lighter and more portable.

Best Sewing Machine Brands
There were two big players when it comes to sewing machines but now there are three. It is often a tough decision choosing between the two major competitors – Brother sewing machines and Singer sewing machines. I personally have used both brands and they are both good. Janome is a relatively newer brand but it's gaining popularity fast. I myself have just bought a new Janome sewing machine.
Sewing Machines – Guide
I have been sewing since my mother taught me how on her very ancient sewing machine. All that experience plus researching each time I buy a new sewing machine must have made me an expert, yes? I'd like to share with you everything about sewing machines that I know, so here are some articles I wrote:
- Types of Sewing Machines
- How to Choose the Best Sewing Machine
- Sewing Machine – Technical Terms Explained
- What Else to Look For in a Sewing Machine
- Different Types of Needles for Different Fabric
- Sewing Machine Cleaning Tips
- Sewing Machine Troubleshooting
Read more sewing machines reviews and guide posts in my blog. With all these information and tips I hope you will be able to find the right sewing machine for your needs. Very soon you might even be making clothes for your children's dolls! Happy shopping!

This map shows the size of Guinea in relation to Turks and Caicos Islands.Show Guinea on the map
Turks and Caicos Islands
The number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in Guinea is 63.09 while in Turks and Caicos Islands it is 13.43.
This entry gives the number of deaths of infants under one year old in a given year per 1,000 live births in the same year; included is the total death rate, and deaths by sex, male and female. This rate is often used as an indicator of the level of health in a country.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The life expectancy at birth in Guinea is 57.60 while in Turks and Caicos Islands it is 75.64.
This entry contains the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. The entry includes total population as well as the male and female components. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The GDP per capita in Guinea is $1,000 while in Turks and Caicos Islands it is $11,500
This entry shows GDP on a purchasing power parity basis divided by population as of 1 July for the same year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The differences between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the wealthy industrialized countries are generally much smaller.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The per capita consumption of electricity in Guinea is 77kWh while in Turks and Caicos Islands it is 474kWh.
This entry consists of total electricity generated annually plus imports and minus exports, expressed in kilowatt-hours. The discrepancy between the amount of electricity generated and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is accounted for as loss in transmission and distribution.
Source: CIA World Factbook
The annual number of births per 1,000 people in Guinea is 37.21 while in Turks and Caicos Islands it is 20.44.
This entry gives the average annual number of births during a year per 1,000 persons in the population at midyear; also known as crude birth rate. The birth rate is usually the dominant factor in determining the rate of population growth. It depends on both the level of fertility and the age structure of the population.
Source: CIA World Factbook
With its 10,324,025 people Guinea is the 80th largest country in the world by population. It is the 78th largest country by area with 245,857 square kilometers. Guinea has had a history of authoritarian rule since gaining its independence from France in 1958. Lansana CONTE came to power in 1984 when the military seized the government after the death of the first president, Sekou TOURE. Guinea did not hold democratic elections until 1993 when Gen. CONTE (head of the military government) was elected president of the civilian government. He was reelected in 1998 and again in 2003, though all the polls were marred by irregularities. History repeated itself in December 2008 when following President CONTE's death, Capt. Moussa Dadis CAMARA led a military coup, seizing power and suspending the constitution. His unwillingness to yield to domestic and international pressure to step down led to heightened political tensions that culminated in September 2009 when presidential guards opened fire on an opposition rally killing more than 150 people, and in early December 2009 when CAMARA was wounded in an assassination attempt and evacuated to Morocco and subsequently to Burkina Faso. A transitional government has been installed.

Hyundai prices 2013 Santa Fe Sport from $24,450
by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Aug 6th, 2012 at 7:00PM
Hyundai has released pricing information for its new five-passenger 2013 Santa Fe Sport, and those the least-expensive way to get your hands on one will cost you $24,450 – but don't forget to add in $825 for destination to any Santa Fe model. For those keeping track, the 2012 Santa Fe starts at $23,225. Opting for all-wheel drive will bring the sticker to $26,200 if you're willing to stick with the base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine offering 190 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque. Check the box for the 2.0-liter turbo mill and you'll be met with a $27,700 sticker with... Read More

10 Right-Wing Election Myths Debunked by Reality in 2012
One of the more stunning developments following President Obama's re-election has been the number of ardent Republicans who have confessed that they believed the anti-Democratic propaganda from Fox News—and got so much wrong as a result.
The voting rights part of this fact-averse bubble had many dimensions: from who is and isn't registered to vote, to when and where people wanted to vote, to what a voter must do at the polls to get a ballot, to how voter lists are updated—and who can be trusted to oversee the process.
What follows are 10 lies the Right pedaled during the 2012 campaign. Some GOP partisans, like this Nevada group, are already trying to resurrect some of these fake issues. You can be sure you'll see more as states and Congress look at 2012's biggest problems, such as people having to wait hours and hours to vote.
1. Non-Citizen Multitudes On Voter Rolls
Florida's Tea Party Gov. Rick Scott was the worst offender, falsely claiming that there were 180,000 or more non-citizens listed on Florida's voter rolls. It turned out that Scott and his hand-picked state election chief found 198 non-citizens among Florida's 11 million voters before backpedaling from the claim. But other Republican top state election officials, in Colorado, Michigan and New Mexico, made the same claim in 2012 in an attempt to scare off legal non-white voters. This line was picked up by other GOP partisans who bought dozens of billboards in communities of color in several swing states listing the penalty for illegal voting. The billboards came down after strong protests from civil rights groups.
2. Partisan Election Officials Are Trustworthy
Florida's Rick Scott and Secretary of State Ken Detzner, Ohio Secretary of State John Husted, Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson and a handful of other Republicans overseeing their state's elections are only the latest partisans who have abused their constitutional office by tilting voting rules to give an advantage to their party. We saw the same thing in Ohio in 2004, when Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell followed Florida's Katherine Harris from 2000. Both Republicans made many decisions that hurt Democrats and elected—and then re-elected—George W. Bush.
This conflict of interest is one of the biggest problems with American elections. But there are more fair-minded ways to oversee voting, such as in Wisconsin where an independent board of retired judges runs and referees that state's elections. And it should be noted that in Florida this year, many county-level election supervisors (who are elected) pushed back on Gov. Scott's edicts. That's because they see their job as serving the public rather than being partisan activists.
3. Dead People Are Voting (For Democrats)
This propaganda line came after the Pew Center on the States issued a report showing that 1.8 million dead people were on state voter roles. Some in GOP circles went nuts, saying dead people would be voting for Democrats. Some newspapers also ran with the "dead voters" angle, revealing that they have little knowledge of the fact that voter rolls are maintained in an ongoing manner and how local officials take many steps to update their rolls (as people register, move and die).
The reality is that local election officials are involved in a never-ending process of removing dead people (and others) from local rolls after being notified by health departments, as dead people don't contact them. Moreover, there are many safeguards so that only ballots by eligible voters are counted—which is why some states have not yet finalized their 2012 results.

Ask the Owner
Ted Leonsis, owner of the Capitals and Wizards
WASHINGTON - The health of hockey players is the most important issue in the NHL and while the league is making efforts to reduce injuries, they need to do better.
That's what Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said on Wednesday when he was a guest on WTOP's "Ask the Owner" show. Leonsis, who also owns the Washington Wizards, spoke about recovering from the NHL lockout, the Caps struggle to implement new strategies and his goal for the Wizards to play .500 basketball.
"There's nowhere to run out of bounds in hockey. The players are getting bigger and faster, and the ice isn't. So we're very, very concerned about it, " Leonsis said.
"These are violent games played at high speeds by big people, and we have to do our best."
Leonsis said a lot of concussions are caused by players getting hit in the jaw, where they're wearing mouth guards. Niklas Backstrom was injured recently when he was hit with an elbow in the forehead, where the helmet can't protect him, Leonsis said. He was out for more than two weeks recovering, but doctors determined he had not suffered a concussion.
"The NHL does a lot of work and really was the leader in trying to protect players from concussions," Leonsis said. "George McPhee is on one of the committees and there is a lot of work being done in Canada and the U.S."
Leonsis said the NHL needs to take care of its veteran players, especially, and those who have retired.
"All leagues are looking at how to be more thoughtful and more supportive of the alumni."

WASHINGTON (AP) - A former D.C. Council chairman who violated campaign finance laws avoided most of his possible jail time but will have to spend hundreds of hours doing community service and stay out of trouble.
Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna on Tuesday sentenced 42-year-old Kwame Brown to 30 days in jail, all suspended. That means Brown will stay out of jail on the misdemeanor campaign violation if he complies with the terms of probation.
Earlier in the day, Brown was sentenced in federal court to one day in custody and six months of home detention for lying on loan applications. He will also spend two years on supervised release and be required to do 480 hours of community service.
Brown admitted to both crimes in June. He gave up council role as part of a plea deal.

And I wanted to show you all my view....
This is what I look like after a few weeks of hard labor, ie the construction project, cleaning out my storage unit, and having a huge yard sale.... Poor me.
And that's just a small portion, I hurt everywhere! There is almost nowhere I can touch that is not sore and bruised. Waaaa, I need a vacation.

Halloween has come and gone, and for many, that means it will be a whole year before you have to think about witches or vampires again. If you enjoy reading historical fiction, though, let the season last a little longer by immersing yourself if this richly detailed debut novel by historian Deborah Harkness.
Although populated by witches, vampires and other supernatural beings, this novel is not a typical fantasy tale. The vivid historical detail and complex plot, part fantasy, part romance, sets this novel (part of a trilogy) apart.
Diana Bishop is a young historian who has rejected her magical inheritance and always tried to distance herself and her scholarly life from the Bishop family legacy. While studying in Oxford, Diana stumbles across a manuscript that seems to have magic imbued in it. Scholarship and research is her calling, and she wants nothing to do with magic, so of course she examines the manuscript, takes notes, and returns it to the archives. But unknown to Diana, her contact with the manuscript has caused wide ripples in the supernatural world. With mysterious events set in motion, she will no longer be able to avoid her magical heritage. From our catalogue summary: "Debut novelist Deborah Harkness has crafted a mesmerizing and addictive read, equal parts history and magic, romance and suspense."
A word of warning: once you start, you won't want to put this down! And while the second book of the trilogy, Shadow of Night, was published in 2012, the third book is yet to come, so you may be waiting in suspense until the third volume appears. And if you start reading and wonder when the "historical" part will begin... just keep reading! You won't be disappointed.
In this final installment in a series of posts dedicated to great mystery series, we have arrived at the dark end of the mystery spectrum. Here you'll find more violence, blood, gore, and disturbing characters and situations that may have you losing sleep, so beware!
You were promised vampires... and with Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series, you'll get vampires galore and many more supernatural creatures. If you like to read the whole of a series without interruption, now is the perfect time for this one! The last book has recently been released, and it's also just been announced that the upcoming season of True Blood (the popular HBO show based on the books) will be the final one. Before you get hooked (on either the books or the show), be warned: as the series progresses, the gore factor increases.
Harris's immensely popular Sookie Stackhouse series has a Southern flavour that seems to go down smoothly with its dark mix of vampires, murder, romance, and small-town gossip. Start at the beginning with Dead Until Dark. The main character, Sookie Stackhouse, has been dealing with the curse (in her opinion) of being able to read people's minds her whole life. This makes living in a small town very nearly unbearable, and many of the locals aren't too keen on having her in their midst, either. Then one day, she meets her first-ever vampire. And is fascinated that instead of the constant flow of noise from hearing people's inner thoughts while trying to ignore them, this vampire sounds like... silence. Having been labelled a freak herself, she is inclined to find out for herself what she thinks of vampires, who have recently revealed their existence to the world, rather than being hasty to judge. And so it begins.
The world of crime and crime-fighters has always been the mainstay of the mystery tradition, from police procedurals to hardboiled detectives and ruthless criminals. These authors present a dark vision of this world.
Here's another Canadian mystery author who is also an award winner. (Of three posts on mystery series, each one has featured an award-winning Canadian author!) Blunt has just won the Crime Writers of Canada 2013 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel for Until the Night, which is the latest installment in his series featuring John Cardinal. This author comes highly recommended, and is next on my "must-read" list. Here's a little more detail from Novelist:
The novels of Canadian writer Giles Blunt are known for their potent combination of eloquent language, piercing psychology, and strong sense of place. This is well-evidenced in both his literary novels and the books for which he is best known, the John Cardinal series of police procedurals. Set in rural Ontario, these meditative novels capture a small, hardscrabble town's foreboding atmosphere and follow the hero's troubled personal life and investigations of gruesome homicides. Blunt balances effectively and informatively-written police work with deeper contemplations of the human condition and the nature of evil. Start with: Forty Words for Sorrow.
I've just finished one of Jo Nesbø's standalone crime thrillers, Headhunters, which was compelling, fast-paced, and well-written (also a good translation by Don Bartlett). It was an absorbing novel with satisfyingly twisted plots and characters--the only thing stopping me from picking up his mystery series, featuring detective Harry Hole, is that the level of violence and the gritty tone are a bit beyond my reading preference at the moment. If you've enjoyed Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (which kept me riveted, despite the gruesome and violent aspects of the plot) and are not put off by its disturbing content, you should try Jo Nesbø. If you're looking for a series to read, start with The Bat. The English translations are by the same translator who did Headhunters, so these should be excellent, and it looks like the second volume in the series, The Cockroaches, will soon be available, completing the series for English-speaking world! Read a little more:
Norwegian author Jo Nesbo is best known for his intricately plotted, gritty, and thrilling mystery fiction. His twist-filled, fast-paced crime stories frequently feature the personally troubled and substance-abusing Detective Harry Hole as he wades through the seedy underbelly of Oslo to solve brutal murders. While Nesbo's haunting stories contain explicit depictions of disturbing violence, his gripping page-turners also demonstrate a keen and sensitive understanding of the social realities of poverty, drug addiction, and organized crime in urban environments. (Novelist)
Because I generally avoid anything that gets too violent or disturbing, I've only read a few of Kathy Reichs's novels featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. The gruesome details of crime scenes and autopsies combined with the threat of imminent violence in the plots proved to be a bit too much for me, but the novels are complex, very readable, and introduce a fascinating cast of characters. If gory details do not put you off, you'll likely enjoy this series, which is the inspiration for the popular show Bones, although not really similar in tone or plot. (Both feature a forensic anthropologist named Temperance Brennan, although on the show she's much younger and writes a hit series of thrillers featuring a fictional character named, of course, Kathy Reichs.) The first novel in the series is Déjà Dead. Read more from the catalogue summary:
A born storyteller, Dr. Kathy Reichs walks in the steps of her heroine, Dr. Temperance Brennan. She spends her days in the autopsy suite, the courtroom, the crime lab, with cops, and at exhumation sites. Often her long days turn into harrowing nights. It's June in Montreal, and Tempe, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of director of forensic anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab. This is homicide of the worst kind. To begin to find some answers, Tempe must first identify the victim. Who is this person with the reddish hair and a small bone structure?

stormy111 Posts: 16A number of Chevy dealers in central CT were selling their 2011 demo Volts - picked one up with 533 miles at the end of April 2012 for $39,900 plus tax (Sticker on my Volt was $43,800). Back the $7,500 Fed tax credit out of that, bottom line was $32,400. Plus, Volt came with some valuable benefits, including 0% financing for 5 years with $0 down, 5 years of Onstar for free, and $50 service credit from dealer and first service for free. I had figured the Volt would get about what a Prius got for mileage (50 MPG), but with 5 weeks & 3k miles on it, average mileage is 86 MPG (not a typo)! If you can charge this thing every night and get 40 miles on electric next day, MPG figures are better than Prius if you average under 125 miles/day, and are sick (100+MPG) if you average 60 miles/day or under. Our electricity is some of most expensive in the country here in CT (16.5 cents per kWhr), but nightly recharge is about $2/day. Car had some minor fit and finish issues, but nothing major so far....
cody1943 Posts: 7Bought Demo/loaner under 2000 miles, licensed by dealer $45,215msrp loaded, paid including dealer $7500 fed tax, $32,490 and had GM points from cr card w/bonus got it down below $30,000. 72 mos 0% int. 6 days, 00000 gas and 300 miles elect costs of under $5. so far. My elect cost are 11.3cents kwh and getting offpeak installed next week bringing down rate to 4.5 cents per hour or if I use up all elect each day about 60 cents a night to charge. Tired of paying $250 a month for gas. Great car for those who drive 45 miles a day or less, fun to drive, lots of power and don't have to worry about gas prices. Have got up to 46.3 miles on a charge so far. And wife loves it.
jcflaw Posts: 3The best price for 2013 I have secured is $4000 off sticker and 0% financing...now another dealer called and offered $6000 off sticker which I think is total BS.
There is nothing anywhere on GM site about extent of rebates, incentives to dealer or consumer but clearly they are out there. How would dealer give $4000 or $6000 off??
highender Posts: 1,364I hear that best price for a chevy volt can be about $2000 less than invoice.
So for a fully loaded , with Premium trip, navigation, safety 1 and 2, the price would be $39500...... and then take another $5000 off dealer incentive.
$34500...... =+ tax and License.
What do you guys think ?

Manufacturer: Knoll
Brand Beginnings Knoll was founded in 1938 by Hans and Florence Knoll who sought to create new types of furniture and environments for the home and workplace. Their approach was to join craftsmanship with technology through the use of design and to create beautiful home furnishings that stood the test of time visually, functionally and practically. The pair sought out designers willing to change the landscape of modern design, daring to ask how furniture could work better. These landmark collaborations, with pioneering modernists like Eero Saarinen, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Harry Bertoia and Richard Schultz built a brand that today contains many of the hallmarks of modern design.
Knoll Today Knoll enjoys brand recognition throughout the world for its modern classics as well as groundbreaking new products formulated under new deigner partnerships. Few companies can match the array of Knoll products, which combine a modernist aesthetic with residential appeal. This point of view nurtured by Florence Knoll, has become the trademark of Knoll design. Today, it connects to a new generation seeking workplaces and homes that are comfortable for and beautiful for everyday living.
A Signature Piece The highly coveted Barcelona® Chair is, with little doubt, the signature Knoll piece. Designed in 1929 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it is one of the most recognized objects of the last century, and an icon of the modern movement. Skilled craftsman construct this exquisite chair by hand every day. From leather produced from a single cowhide, 40 individual leather panels are cut, hand-welted, and hand-tufted with leather buttons to upholster the chair. Premium cushions are highly resilient with a down-like softness that surrounds the sitter in luxurious comfort. Cushions are suspended by upholstery straps in cowhide belting leather over a metal frame that is hand-ground and hand-buffed to a mirror finish. Meticulously detailed, Barcelona continues to appeal to customers worldwide some 85 years after its introduction.
Why Knoll? The Knoll names offers a rich design history – a legacy of iconic designers and inventive new collaborations. Their focus on quality and responsible manufacturing means that each piece transcends multiple generations in both use and appeal. Knoll offers furniture, accessories, textiles, felts and leathers that stimulate the senses and allow you to express who you are and what you value. They take great pride in creating the best possible product and the happiest possible customer.

I would have to say that the Monk is my least favorite class. It has nothing to do with all the crazy powers and abilities they gain as they go up a level (just about every class has its share of that kind of wackiness). Rather, the class just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the 'Western European' type classes (as I've always seen them). You throw them into a setting with Samurai, Yakuza and Trench-Coat wearing Ninjas? Then sure. But to have them as one of the main classes in a 'standard' D&D game just makes me think that someone liked the TV show 'Kung Fu' just a bit too much. And yes, of course this is all subjective ;)

Oh, oh this one is easy. At least if I restrict it to the base classes. Rouge. They need to be in melee to not suck. But the have a glass jaw. Really though I think my dilike of them comes from the games of D&D I played in high school. The rouge(s) always took it upon themselves to steal from the party, act like jerks and steal from every npc around. All becuse they 'had to play their character' after rouge its ninja since that is really a rouge but the crunchy people demand every character concept have its own implementation.

Depends on the edition. ;)
But I'll answer for 1E AD&D ... the magic-user. At low-levels, they're hideously weak, and if you don't pick the right spells for the day (assuming you even know them), you can be totally useless outside of combat.
One of the house rules I always used for 1E was to adapt the additional spells chart for the cleric class for magic-users. Same concept - high Intelligence = a few additional spells. Makes a tremendous difference at low levels.

FGHT 103: Intermediate Sword Fighting.
In this class, students will learn how to successfully use Swords +1 and Ogre-Slaying Knives in close combat quarters. Technical aspects of parrying, thrusting, hacking, and swinging wildly whilst retreating will be covered in detail. Prerequisites: successful completion of FGHT 101: Introduction to Swordplay and FGHT 102: Daggars and Broadsword Combat.
All students must be at least Level 2. This is a peanut-free classroom.

Probably the assassin. That class (and all the expectations therein) has given rise to the stereotypical D&D character sitting with his back to every wall, refusing to march with the party, suspicious of every NPC (and some PCs) and generally acting like the odd man out.
Plus, if you're so proficient as an assassin, why do you need to go loot tombs and dungeons?
- October 2, 2009 at 9:46 AM
- The Rusty Battle Axe said...
I'm with Patrick on this. The Assassin is the worst. The monk doesn't fit the standard campaign setting and the d4 hit dice are an oddity, considering the martial nature of the monk class. Even so, the assassin is pretty useless in most gaming situations as a character class.
- October 2, 2009 at 10:07 AM
- John Reyst said...
Not my opinion, and granted its Pathfinder (not officially D&D) but by the statistics on d20pfsrd.com, Druid is the least often visited page for classes. Half elf for races. Again, its Pathfinder though, so whatever that's worth.

- Big McStrongmuscle said...
Eh, I've mellowed on assassins a little bit since seeing the Castles and Crusades interpretation. The ability to size up a potential opponents by silently watching them is a really useful talent - frankly, much handier than any Death Attack. Plus, most assassin characters seem to get that the party's going to be watching them very carefully, which generally ensures good behavior. I find that thieves actually tend to be more disruptive to the party dynamic (unless the assassin's hanging out with a paladin for some reason). Monks are pretty annoying too, though.
But if we're looking for worst class for any edition ever, I vote for the 3e prestige class Frenzied Berserker - once of the most broken classes of all time. It was a barbarian thing, with the special ability that once you went berserk, you *could not be killed by damage* until your rage ended. Which could easily be as much as 8-12 rounds later. Our DM sprung an NPC like this on us once. We dealt him more than 800 points of damage - 550 more hit points than he actually possessed, we would later learn - before we gave it up and wasted a scroll to immobilize him.

Hey, if we are talking Prestige Classes, then it is a whole other ballgame.

- Swordgleam said...
In 1st ed, rogue. They sucked and were always (in my experience) played by jerks.
In 4e? All the classes seem useful so far, which is quite possibly my favourite thing about the system. I'd have to say that, as a DM, the fighter is the most personally frustrating for me, since he marks a lot of my monsters and then I can't do anything tactical with half of them. But the paladin still causes the most plot trouble, which is, as far as I can tell, their primary function.
- October 2, 2009 at 10:58 AM
- greywulf said...
My least fun class to play is probably the Cleric, though as GM I love it when other players pick that class.
Clerics are just all about their gods and little about the character's personality itself. That just doesn't appeal to me.
- October 2, 2009 at 11:32 AM
- Theresa said...
I'd have to say I don't like any of the classes. :) Unless that dolphin one is one of them.
I really like a certain class of man that works hard, takes out the trash, plays with his kids and spoils his wife! :) I am in love with you! xoxo

- Badelaire said...
Sadly, I'd have to say the Barbarian, mostly because I've never been happy with a single implementation of how the class gets handled.
Either they are treated as some sort of "berzerker", or they're given a host of ranger-like abilities (survival, enhanced senses, etc.), or some addball combination of the two that doesn't seem to work right, with the occasional thief-like skill thrown in for some reason or another.
I think the biggest problem is that the Barbarian class was always meant to imitate Conan, and to a lesser degree, other literary barbarians like Thongor or Kothar or Brak. Of course, the problem with this is that these characters are all singular heroes in their own works, an "army of one" who's unbeatable at fighting, with the stealth of a master thief, the climbing and athletic ability of a mountain goat, and yet the worldliness and cosmopolitan savvy of a globe-trotting merchant. They are just uber-characters because they are the lone heroes of their stories, and trying to imitate that vibe in a game built around a party structure where everyone has roles just gets clonky when you're dealing with classes. Now the Barbarian is part fighter, part thief, part ranger, and supposedly as good or better than each of those classes individually because of his/her "savage vitality" or "animalistic senses" or some crap like that.
So yeah, I love the idea, hate the implementation.

I'm surprised no mention has been made of the joke classes Dragon magazine ran over the years. I would guess the least playable of the bunch was the Accountant.

I was going to say the Monk, since it fits so badly in most games. A kung fu weirdo doing wire fu? In my pseudo medieval Brownowl campaign? No way!
But, for pure uselessness nothing beats the Assasin, no.

@Theresa: Wow, that is fantasy.

I'd say 1E Assassin for most useless. He gets Thief skills as two levels lower, but advances slower than the Thief too. He fights as a Thief. But if he can surprise a dude he gets a chance of an instant kill - but that can be made highly improbable by Mirror Image and impossible by Stoneskin. And the chance is rather low for people near his level or higher than him.
And he has to fight to gain higher levels of Assassin.
Only thing really going for him is that he doesn't top out on HD so if his CON is decent he can surpass the Fighter in HP at high levels. But that's minor.
Class I hate the most? Kensei from the 1E Oriental Adventures. I never liked the idea of weapon specialization because it's inherently a minmax rule. You specialize in longbow and longsword, you never have to use another weapon. When there's a campaign with people who have specializations I make sure to vary the types of weapon in treasure. Purchasing magic items is usually difficult in my campaigns too. So if you want to specialize in the katana that's cool, but don't count on finding many magical ones.
Well the Kensei is a class built around specialization with one weapon. If he picks up another one, he loses most of his special abilities.
OA as a whole book is overpowered compared to the 1E PHB. The Oriental Fighter (the Bushi) is like a Fighter but better. That's pretty much the standard for every class. But the Kensei gets initiative bonuses, attack and damage bonuses, etc. He's just pretty powerful. The OA Monk is more powerful than the PHB Monk, but I kind of expected that.

Oh.. gee...
1st Edition, it would have had to have been the Druid. Some neat powers, but crippled almost everywhere in the game, and then you got to fight someone higher then your level to progress forward. Yeah, that wasn't horribly fun.
2nd Edition: Well, we didn't allow for kits, so I really don't have too strong a hatred for any class. I would have to say just off hand, the Knights of the Rose, from the Dragonlance game, but that's a fuzzy memory.
3rd Edition: For non-spellcaster, I hated the Barbarian. Didn't get the stuff the fighter got, didn't get the skill monkey from a Rogue. Just a HP sink. I hated it.
For Spellcasters, the Truenamer is the absolute Worst. Didn't act the way I wanted it to, didn't feel right for any party. Just hated how it fell short.
For 4E, it has to be the swordmage. The swordmage is a class that had a neat concept, but is held back by the execution of the system. It will never play how it was intended to be played, and has even fooled others into thinking that they way they must play it was the way it was suppose to be played in the first place. Complete and total design failure.

Monks are really my least favorite class. I understand the appeal of the Rogues and, while I don't use them, a player could convince me of allowing a Rogue on a casual adventure.
But Monks are completely out of question.
- October 2, 2009 at 2:44 PM
- Wimwick said...
I'd have to say the Druid. I just haven't been able to enjoy them in 4e. In previous editions they were among my favourite classes.
I feel that WotC really changed the feel of this class with 4e. It seems like to large a departure from a mechanics standpoint from previous editions.

No love for the assassin? Jeez, folks...obviously you've never heard of multi-classing!
Since I am strictly a B/X guy these days, I have to say that I am quite pleased with every one of the seven classes (probably the reason I like B/X!). But if I had to pick a "least favorite" there are some things about the Elf class that bug me...the high Intelligence requirement over and inability to become an excellent fighter (I like my elves more Tolkien-esque).
In AD&D it would have to be the barbarian of Unearthed Arcana as so frigging worthless. Pick an environment? Don't use magic? They might as well called it "caveman." I never understood the appeal (the only person that ever played one in the campaigns of my youth was my little brother who took the class simply because he wanted to play a hulking fighter-type with a two-handed sword).
2nd edition+ It would have to be the bard for what they did to a very cool character. Though rangers and druids also suck for a variety of reasons.

- Dyson Logos said...
The 1e AD&D Barbarian.
I mean, really, WTF.
A class that is balanced by making it unplayable with a regular party for the first 8 levels or so.

Hands down the Bard.
Fantasy RPG to me is Conan, Swords and Sorcery/Sandals. Guys in tights strumming lutes and signing don't fit.
FG I decapitate things with my battle axe.
MU I warp the laws of nature to my will!
CL I am the hand of god!
Bard I sing songs and prance about.
Maybe I could handle a bard if you called him a Skald, gave him a kilt and a claymore.
Also, I absolutely hated the poems/songs in LoTR books. Made them unreadable for me.

1e I only ever played with the core classes, and I pretty much thought they were all necessary, but I'd go with Thief because the people I was playing with were extreme newbies at the time who played 1e because the books were being sold for 8 bucks a piece used at the local game store. The thief, like most newbie thieves I've played with, was a prick in a more negative way than the class implies.
2e? Just depends. No major issues with most of them, but I never got the spells per diem difference between wizards and clerics. But I like playing wizards, so I'm biased.
3e I didn't like specialists. Don't like them much in 2e either, but the single extra spell slot just wasn't worth a damn here.
3.5 I pretty much dug, except for specialists and prestige classes.
Pathfinder is what 3.5 should have been, in my opinion. I love it and it is the system for my current game. Not a single issue yet.
4e I'll just say that they all work. I can appreciate that, and you really can pick up and play just about any class. Works as well as anything.

Of course is the Monk. I don't know who thought to put oriental warriors together with mages and knights was a good idea.
It doesn't make any sense to me. Perhaps this class could fit better in a special scenario, with more explanation. But is impossible to spawn monk warriors across your world and keep some sense in your campaign...
I never allow monks on my campaigns...
- October 5, 2009 at 9:14 PM
- Frederic said...
I think the barbarian, no specific reason, I've just never even considered playing one.
I don't get the dislike of Monks. The whole association with oriental settings goes beyond me, they make perfect sense to me as "western/medieval" monks that fit in perfectly in regular fantasy settings. Brother Tuck with less alcohol (or not)?

Dragon's Crown artist explains exaggerated art style
by Steve Watts, shacknews.com, Apr 26, 2013 11:30AM PDT
Dragon's Crown recently announced a release date of August 6, and along with it came a new trailer. But the video reignited a simmering undercurrent of talk about the character art, and in particular the way it portrays its female characters. It's come to a boil, to the point that artist George Kamitani has opened up about the art direction.
After reacting to criticism in a way that some deemed homophobic, Kamitani apologized and called the whole thing "a light-hearted joke." But that didn't quiet the general din around his bombastically-proportioned female characters. Kamitani has now written an e-mail to Kotaku explaining his motivations.
In the letter, he says he chose to exaggerate his character designs so they would stand out from the general fantasy motifs of Dungeons & Dragons and J.R.R. Tolkien. "I exaggerated the silhouettes of all the masculine features in the male characters, the feminine features in female characters, and the monster-like features in the monsters from many different angles until each had a unique feel to them," he said. "I apologize to those who were made uncomfortable by the art's appearance, and did not see the same light-hearted fantasy in my designs."
He also said he appreciates the critiques, and while he is not sure if he'll implement that feedback into future work, he did note that he will "definitely keep in mind that these opinions are out there and affect people on a personal level."
Finally, he ends with a note that asks users not to punish the game or Atlus for his joke. "It's okay if it was just me who was criticized, but it is not my intention to cause problems for Dragon's Crown publisher (ATLUS) and all the other people who are involved in this project. From now on, I will limit myself about transmitting something personal out in the public."
It all sounds very reasonable when he talks about it. But then again...

Erm ... so, BrickFair
Not tonight, however.
In no particular order:
- I apparently talk in Palatino
- Papyrus is worse than Comic Sans
- Hat towers are cool
- Zatth's GIFs will be hilarious when I download/convert them
- He is the human GIF
- Ballom came back during the dreaded PUBLIC HOURS from the vendors and showed us a bag full of cool parts and rare '01 masks. I immediately asked him where he got it and he told me - apparently one of the vendors had refilled their gigantic BIONICLE tub. So Daiker, Cholie, and I sliced through the crowd and got more delicious loot
- Meiko gave me some teal parts
- Meiko is pretty cool, though he's quite literally the human troll. He kept trying to steal my BZP Staff brick off my badge
- I kept trying to think of classical music jokes when I was around Windrider, but whenever I got near him my mind suddenly went blank
- We sang "Happy Birthday" to Black Six, who then threatened to ban everyone who sung
- Black Six slapped Takuma's hat off of his head, sending the light clip that was on it shattering into its constituent parts. While we were able to piece it back together, I'm not sure if anyone ever got it to work
- After public hours, we planned a last-minute vendor raid, but Architect and I didn't run into anything interesting on sale
- Kothra and Waffles both made their appearance known via laggy and blurry videocalls
- Malignus showed up again today and showed everyone his technique for attaching Kopaka Mata's shield to his feet
- Xaeraz cobbled together a Toxic Waste Bunny and walked the Dinosaur
- Cholie and I barked at each other
- InnerRayg remarked that our dancing should supply the front page for at least five days
- We looked at pictures on Zatth's iPad, watched videos from last year's 'Fair, and made dumb jokes and puns
- Takuma's cousin won a door prize at the closing ceremonies
- Afterwards, Brickeens, Takuma, his cousin, Avohkah Tamer, Bionicle Raptor, Zatth, Disky, Spink, Sisen, and I went out to eat dinner, where much hilarity ensued - specifically, pun zingers in the conversation between Zatth and me.
- My mom took a group shot of us all, but half of Spink's head was behind Sisen, so another picture was taken. Everyone looked strange, so a third attempt was made ... but everyone turned out blurry. After Sisen messed with the camera, we finally got a good group picture and all was right with the world again
- Zatth, after having a lunch of Skittles and a second lunch of nachos, was out of money because his parents didn't want him to squander it at BrickFair. He ended up eating a side of macaroni and cheese from someone else's plate
- A few set designers who did a BrickFair seminar were eating at the same place we were, so they came over and said hi
- Unfortunately I had to go so I missed whatever hilarity is going on in Takuma's hotel room as I type this, but I have to get up early tomorrow morning so Brickeens, Zatth, and I can tour Washington
I miss BrickFair already - but hey, it's only 361 more days until it all happens again.

NORFOLK, Va. - The skipper of a Navy attack submarine has been removed from the job after colliding with a guided-missile cruiser.
Cmdr. Thomas Winter was relieved of his duties as commanding officer of the USS Montpelier on Friday due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.
The USS Montpelier and the USS Jacinto collided off the coast of Florida in October during routine training operations and no one was injured.
The Navy said in a statement that an investigation into the incident revealed that the primary cause of the collision was human error, poor teamwork by the Montpelier watch team and the commanding officer's failure to follow procedures for submarines operating at periscope death.
Winter has been reassigned to administrative duties at Submarine Force Atlantic headquarters in Norfolk, Va.

December 15 – Happy Birthday Eddie Robinson
In 1951, '52 and '53, first baseman Eddie Robinson was in the peak years of his Major League Baseball career. Like many players of his era, that career was interrupted early by military service in WWII. Three seasons after Robinson returned from the war, the trades that marked his entire career began. He went from the Indians to the Senators in 1949 and then to the White Sox during the 1950 season. By 1952, however, it looked like he had found a home in the Windy City. He had put together two straight 100 RBI seasons for Chicago, making the All Star team both years. But instead of settling in, Eddie was traded again, this time to the Athletics, who were still in Philadelphia at the time. In the "City of Brotherly Love," he combined with slugger Gus Zernial to provide the A's with most of their offense as he reached the 100-RBI mark and made the All Star team for the third year in a row. That's when the Yankees got him as part of a huge ten player deal that turned out not to have much positive impact for either team.
Simply put, the Yankees did not need the guy. George Weiss thought Robinson would replace the lighter hitting Joe Collins as the Yankee starting first baseman. The crafty GM, however, did not anticipate that rookie Moose Skowren, a powerful right hand hitting first baseman would hit .340 in 1954. Stengel ended up platooning Skowren at first base with Collins, who was the best fielder of all three players and used Robinson more as a pinch hitter. Eddie did very well in that role for two plus seasons in the Bronx but it was truly a waste of the overall talents of this four-time All Star.
In June of 1956, Weiss traded Robinson back to the A's, who by then had relocated to Kansas City. Unfortunately, Eddie was already 35-years old at the time and he never again would be the hitter he was when New York acquired him three years earlier. When Eddie hung up his spikes in 1957, he began a career in baseball's front offices that continued through 1996 when he finally retired as head of scouting for the New York Yankees.
Another Yankee born on this date was this AL Rookie of the Year winner in 1968.
