Sanely InsaneMorgan had about slipped away from the gas station and off into the night when the griffin started behaving strangely. It started walking towards her, then suddenly whipped around, as if distracted by something. Morgan couldn't tell if it was actually intending to find her, or if it was looking for something else that coincidentally happened to be somewhere near her position. She considered just running for it, but a quick look around told her that this place was sitting in the middle of a desert. Other than the building she just came out of, there didn't seem to be many places to hide, and she severely doubted that she could outrun a griffin. She could try looking threatening - she did have claws and a pair of large wings, after all - but again, this was a griffin she was dealing with. It was unlikely to be deterred by the display. There was one final option, and that was simply attempt to hide where she stood. Despite the fire, there was still plenty of shadows around. The dress she was wearing was black, and her wings were rather dark in color. Perhaps if she used her wings to cover up her paler parts, she could blend into the background well enough to evade the griffin's notice, until it either lost interest or proved that it wasn't hostile. Given that the distraction wasn't going to last for long and the griffin would be upon her shortly, she settled for hiding. She ruffled her red, wavy hair a bit so that it concealed most of her face (granted, red wasn't necessarily the darkest color around, but in this light level it would suffice), stuck her arms behind her back, and then positioned her wings in such a manner that they obscured most of her face. Now the problem was that she couldn't see what the griffin was going now, but given that it had to make some sort of sound she hoped that wouldn't be an issue.

M.T. (Platypus Season)Razugual tilted his head to the side, staring at Damien the gryphon somehow even more blankly than he had been before. "Of course? What do you mean of course?" he reared back onto his legs, almost reaching ten feet in height, and crossed his arms. Damien seemed atypically—though not unimaginably—unperturbed by his form. In fact, with the way he was acting, it struck Razugual that the man- or gryphon, he supposed, was not aware that there was any difference at all. And now... "Do I smell violins. Man, are you feeling all right?" Razugual followed Damien slowly, unsure of what to make of him. As far as Razugual knew, the magician was incapable of altering minds. Everyone was— the mind was too complicated for someone even with that level of power to accurately mold. Yet Damien definitely seemed off-kilter, distracted... maybe even addled. Perhaps it was his own lack of varied experience with such occurrences... but it was strange. Worrying. He looked up at the large flare burning solitarily in the sky. So that was where Mud was. Razugual wondered if the flare would attract any extra attention. People already seemed to be popping up and vanishing here and there. He wouldn't be surprised if a hive of mismatched strangers suddenly arose from every conceivable location that he did not have eyes upon. Razugual moved over to stand in front of Damien, then dropped to all fours and stared at him directly. "Damien, " he said softly, "Are you aware of what's happened to you?"
Mud looked at the flare withe an impressed expression on his face. However, it did not last, and he was soon standing with his arms folded, and his pocket watch in his hand. He glanced at it occasionally, then looked at the night sky for several minutes. Finally, he pocketed the thing and declared, "Eh, I give him about ten minutes. Then, we can look for alternatives."

PIDamien eyed Razugual suspiciously. "I don't know... has something else happened since the last thing?" He glanced down at himself and counted his limbs. "Still a gryphon, as far as I can tell." He sat back on his haunches like a dog in the throes of an identity crisis and did his best to explain. "I was a dodo first, so I could fly ahead and look for water. Now I'm a gryphon to help carry things." His brow furrowed. "It sounded a lot more logical when Mud said it." He shook his head. "But look— Imagine... Imagine you were colorblind. No. No, that's a terrible analogy. Say you were a duck..." His talon stopped mid-gesture and his beak hung open. He would have to forget about analogies. They had caused him nothing but pain. "Gryphons... can tell where gold is." He said, with some care and deliberation. "That's all I remember from the ancient mythologies unit in eighth grade. They can tell where gold is. Humans can't, so right now something is trying to tell me where the gold is, and something over here smells like violins, and you used to be something else but you aren't anymore and all of this is just..." he waved a talon. "It's just hardware whizzing along automatically, but I don't have any of the software that goes with it."

Sanely InsaneA few seconds of remaining hidden, and Morgan was about to assume that the griffin had gone and moved on. That was, until a large amount of light started filtering through her wings. She then heard the sounds of voices. She dropped one of her wings so she could see what was going on, and as it would have turned out, the glowing dragon thing had caught up to the griffin and seemed to be talking to it about...something. She could only catch snippets of the conversation - something about dodos, gold, and something that smelled like violins. So this proved that the two creatures were intelligent enough to converse. At first, Morgan was slightly relieved, but then she reminded herself that intelligence level didn't exactly serve as a good indicator for malevolence. For all she knew, the two creatures could have very well been conversing about how they were going to cook her up on the fire and have her for dinner. More worryingly, the fact that the dragon thing glowed brightly, combined with the fact that it was really freaking big, meant her original plan of trying to blend in with the shadows wasn't going to work. Thanks to all the light, the only shadow remaining in the immediate area was her own, and one couldn't hide in her own shadow. It was only a matter of time now, before they stopped talking and noticed her standing here. What would she do now? Running still wasn't an option, so it was time for the only remaining option she had left (well, besides the likely suicidal option of attempting to join in their conversation) - attempt to look intimidating enough for the creatures to back off. After all, she was a vampire. She had the strength to back up her threat if need be, or so she thought. She dropped her wings, took her hair out of her eyes and tucked it behind her ears, and then spread out her arms and hands so her claws were visible, and bared her fangs completely by dropping her lower lip. Some part of her mind told her that she looked ridiculous, but she ignored that thought for now. Making sure that she wasn't going to wind up being the main course was a much greater priority than looking pretty.

Sano didn't like waiting like this, doing nothing and sitting silent. It gave time to think, think about what he have done and think of what he will have to do. Mud could just turn everyone into flying beasts and then they could just fly away. Getting out of this desert wasn't the real problem. But Sano knew that it was time to stop fleeing. They have been fleeing for two months now and it resulted with his friend fleeing into the desert. Sano already had a general plan, but he didn't like the end of it. But that's the only end people like that understand. But then he got an idea. "Mud? Do you remeber what I told you before? About my previous employer? What do you think about turning people like that into white doves?"

M.T. (Platypus Season)It took Damien's final explanation for Razugual to make sense of what he was saying. When it finally clicked, he reared back again and placed one clawlike hand over his muzzle in a gesture of contemplation, though it looked somewhat comical on his form. "Ahh." he said, nodding slowly, "You're talking about instincts, aren't you? Maybe heightened senses? I've heard that those kinds of things appear sometimes, in changed people, but that how they affect someone might vary from person to person. Smelling violins, really?" He stared distantly (though it would be difficult to tell) past Damien for a moment, then said, "What has me slightly confused, and tell me straight up if I'm wrong in assuming this but..." He cocked his head, rotating it almost entirely to the side, "You don't seem all that bothered with what Mud did to you, and he's not the type of person to ask before... demonstrating his tricks." Just at that moment, Razugual heard a quiet rustling behind him. He curved his entire upper half towards the noise, discovering a very strange looking girl, and giving her his typically blank stare. She was making a very strange expression, somewhat fearsome, he supposed, but certainly not to him. Razugual opened and closed his mouth twice before speaking. When he finally did, he asked a slightly confused, slightly concerned, "Are you alright?" Then, glancing at Damien, he added, "Damien, is this your violin?"
Mud was dancing from one foot to the other with his hands behind his back, appearing deeply in focus when Sano addressed him. He stopped on one foot and looked up, adjusting his hat, then raising his eyebrows and smiling. "Of course, of course! Those folks must be blanketed in dastardliness to have such a poor man as you ready to debase their names. Regarding transfiguring them into a dole of white doves..." The magician frowned tightly and stroked his moustache. "Well, why not green doves? I wouldn't bet my winter socks on them being compliant to such an act, but there still may lie some humorous value from such a venture." He lazily rolled his head over to Sano. "Why, do you have them waiting in your back pocket?" Without waiting for a reply, he began doing hand gestures asked "Tell me Sano, are you of the mind that I would be greatly benefited with a wand as part of my performances, or would that be far too... mmm... cliché?" He pursed his lips and looked at Sano sincerely.

"You would be the big finale if stuff goes right. Use the hat, the handkerchief, the wand, the whole nine yards." Sano started to smile, almost chuckle imagening Mud swinging a nine yard wand. "I like the symbolism of White doves delivering a message, but do whatever you want as long as they can fly home." "These people will probably meet me at that gas station. I will do my thing and then you save their lives." Sano stretches out his right hand wanting a handshake and a deal.

M.T. (Platypus Season)Mud made several rapid changes in his brow, evidently considering the idea very thoroughly. He rapped two of his fingers against his mouth, and let out a long and extremely exaggerated, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. The world does not typically find a man of my talents in the life saving business. It could be an interesting variation to the usual." He stuck out his arm and shook the other man's hand, saying, "Very well, we. have. a... deal." He paused for a moment, still shaking Sano's hand, then gave him a wide-eyed stare and added very cornily, "Or do we?" With that, the magician pulled his hand away, leaving his glove behind, continuing to shake the other man's hand. He stroked his goatee, smirking contemptuously and laughing, "Muah ha ha ha ha!" Mud turned away, and his ridiculously sinister laughter soon devolved into an almost childlike giggling.
PI"Yes, " said Damien, barely glancing at the girl. "Glad that's settled." He turned and took off in the direction of the flare.

Sanely InsaneA mere couple seconds after Morgan had readied her display, she attracted the attention of the big, glowing dragon thing. As the creature started to move, she tensed her body up in preparation for defending herself if need be, but her courage steadily fell as she continued watching it. The way it was twisting its body - how the heck was it even doing that? It didn't look like a natural movement in the slightest. Then she looked up at its face. Its eyes! Oh god, the eyes! Never before had Morgan seen something with eyes like that before, and it seriously disturbed her. Coupled with its lack of expression apart from mouth movements, she couldn't tell if it was angry, concerned, or even neutral. Judging by its mouth movements, it seemed like Morgan's fears were about to be confirmed, and her threat display didn't appear to be working at all. Regardless, she tried to keep it up, but she was very noticeably shaking. When the thing finally spoke, her ruse fell through entirely, and she outright jumped. She didn't even catch what it was trying to say to her out of sheer nervousness. The only thing running through her mind at the moment was how she was completely and utterly screwed. While trying her best to recover from the shock, she did manage to catch what it was saying to the griffin. Apparently, she was the thing that smelled like violins; which wasn't exactly reassuring. She had no clue what a violin would smell like, since she was no musician even before she was a vampire, and violins didn't look like they were heavily scented anyway. If she smelled like a violin, did that increase or decrease her chances of getting eaten? Fortunately for her, the griffin didn't appear to be all that interested and took off shortly afterwards. Despite its disappearance, Morgan didn't feel reassuring - the griffin was still far less scary then the unnatural glowing thing, and she didn't want to know what it was planning on doing to her. Maybe she had a chance of talking her way out of this situation? "I...er...you...uh...." she started, but couldn't quite spit out anything that resembled a coherent sentence.

M.T. (Platypus Season)"Yes?" repeated Razugual, questioningly. He wondered for a moment whether a single yes did in fact suffice to answer all of his questions, but was soon blown off of that stream of thought when Damien suddenly and without announcement, bolted off towards the flare. "Hey wait a minute! what about the-?" Razugual gestured hopelessly at the strange girl, who was seemingly less important to Damien now that she was no longer just a scent. Damien wasn't looking back anyhow. Razugual felt a strange unease about Damien's actions. He couldn't tell whether it was just the man's natural attitude, or what he'd become that drove his uncouth behavior. Razugual slowly shook his head at Damien's distant figure, then turned back to the girl, this time shifting his entire body to face her. She looked nerve-racked, which, Razugual supposed, shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. In addition to that, the girl appeared to be trying to speak, having a great deal of difficulty doing so. He couldn't quite tell what it was she was trying to say, so he figured he'd just introduce himself. Perhaps not as Razugual though, that might be a little imposing, and certainly not Razugual the Great. No, he needed to do it in a way that reassured her. Razugual narrowed his eyes in what he hoped was a 'jovial' look and not an 'I am your doom' look, pulled his mouth into an awkwardly sprightly smile and stuck his glowing hand out in greeting. "Daniel Dee." He proclaimed in a voice that was chipper enough to have been wishing her a merry Christmas and a happy new year. "...or Razugual. Whichever you find more suitable."

Sanely InsaneMorgan braced herself when the creature turned back towards her, put on an expression that to her looked like it wanted to play (in a manner of speaking), reached towards her...and then promptly introduced itself as Daniel Dee and/or Razugual, in a rather cheery voice. Okay, so this thing was sending mixed messages. Despite the motions and expression, she somehow doubted that it would have bothered telling her its name(s) if it wanted to eat her or otherwise do something unpleasant. While her facial expression still looked rather frightened, her brown eyes definitely suggested confusion more than anything. What was it expecting her to do? She then reminded herself that this sort of situation was bound to crop up again once she got back to her own world and resumed the search for the artifacts. If she remembered correctly, one of them was guarded by a chimera; not quite the beast Daniel/Razugual was, but a monster nevertheless. That wasn't getting into what she might have to do to get at the other artifacts, so the chimera might have well been the most tame thing she'd run across. She might as well get used to odd circumstances like the one she was in now. Though still shaking, she slowly tried assuming a more natural posture, and attempted to look at least somewhat neutral. She didn't bother reaching for the outstretched hand - she wasn't quite sure what it was trying to accomplish with that gesture, and she definitely wasn't in the mood to make physical contact with it. She briefly considered asking it just what the heck it was, and if it wanted to eat her, but decided against it. The last thing she wanted to do was to annoy this thing, when she had no idea what it was capable of. "...Morgan, " she said at last, after a few moment's hesitation.

PIDamien landed less than gracefully at the balloon crash site, coating himself in dust. "There was a thing, " said Damien. He swished his tail dismissively. "Violins."

M.T. (Platypus Season)Realizing foolishly that someone who was moments ago speechless with what was probably sheer terror would probably not want to shake hands with the thing causing the terror, Razugual withdrew his hand, clasping it with his other hand and letting them hang together against his waist. "Morgan... well..." Razugual paused, still staring blankly at her. It was around this time that he noticed the girls large set of wings, which he had somehow failed to notice beforehand. So she was not quite a normal girl after all. Peculiar. When he did finally speak, Razugual decided to to try using simple questions. "Are you... are you all right? You seem a little tense. Do I bother you?"
Mud was tapping his foot impatiently when Damien arrived, even though he had been talking with Sano only a moment before. As the gryphon landed, Mud took off his hat and twirled it with his hands. "Well well härra Damien, out for a little joyride were we? It leans far on the rude end of things to shirk your duties leave for an unscheduled vacation only moments after I present the gift of flight to you. Especially with these events taken all together." He put his hat back on his head and marched over to the pack saddle he had constructed, "But never mind. We haven't the time to be niggling at each other for these long past events. Load up, and lets be off, there are things need doing."

Sanely InsaneRazugual seemed to be concerned about Morgan's well-being. As comforting as that seemed on the surface, Morgan still wasn't quite sure what to think. On the surface, it didn't seem to be interested in bringing harm to her. Then again, this was on the surface. With that face, its real intentions were rather difficult, if not outright impossible, to discern. It might as well been acting friendly to get her to lower her guard, and then it'd grab her and eat her when she was least suspecting it. Or maybe you're just paranoid. It was another few moments before Morgan responded. "Well...I've no idea where I'm at, or if you want to eat me or not. I think 'tense' is a little bit of an understatement."

M.T. (Platypus Season)Razugual's somewhat static smile grew wider, and the fire-like formations on his backside lifted slightly. "Good good, now you're really talking. That's a nice step ahead." He turned his head finally to look at the gas station, "I'm afraid the rest of... us..." his smile faded as he stared blankly at the rather lonesome fire, which still burned with hot fervor. "...can't help you there. This gas station seems to be the only landmark for miles, and no one really wants to be here." Razugual continued to stare at the gas station for several long moments, then abruptly turned to stare at Morgan again, answering her other concern. "Don't worry, don't worry— I don't really eat much anymore, and I can't imagine myself ever eating a person. It's kind of a dull luxury when you don't need it. —eating, I mean, not eating a person." He looked at her thoughtfully, slightly lowering and raising his tilted head. "Speaking of which— and I don't mean for this to come of the wrong way, but... are you a human being?" Razugual let this hang for a moment, before hastily adding, "I won't judge you if you aren't. Or if you are. I'm just interested in knowing."

Sanely Insane"So...this is basically the middle of nowhere?" Morgan asked, taking a look around the area a little more closely than she did before. "I...guess that works...." She admittedly wasn't quite ready to believe that Razugual really didn't want to eat her, but his voice when saying that statement sounded incredibly sincere. Unless he was really good at lying, he probably was being sincere. Then again, he was a dragon thing who was probably very old, so perhaps he knew a thing or two.... Oh, stop worrying about it! Morgan shook her head as she listened to Razugual's second question. It was quite an interesting one: was she a human being? Truth be told, she wasn't so sure. Had he asked that question several weeks ago, she could have definitely said yes, but now that she was a vampire, it was rather tricky. "Well, depends on what you mean by 'human being, '" she replied, bringing her hands together and holding them at her waist. "If you're talking mentally, then I'm human. But if you're talking completely...." She frowned and stared at the ground next to her feet. "Well, I was not too long ago...then I ran into an old witch in the woods, who turned me into this." She stretched one of her arms out to look at her claws. "It's a long story."

He paused, uncertain of why he had just said what he had just said. "I have no idea what I meant by that." he stated bemusedly. Eager to change the subject, he asked Morgan, "Are you hungry? Some of the others that were here cooked up a wolf not long ago, there might be some left. Come on, it's warmer by the fire." Razugual narrowed his eyes in what might have been concern. "Unless... is fire an issue?"

Damien didn't only coat himself in dust. But Sano was still happy to see him. Now they are going to get to that gas station and the people there with this stuff before the sun rises, without messing with Sano's body or mind. Both was messed up enough the thought. Sano didn't know what would happen if Mud tried one of these card tricks on him, and he didn't really wanted to find out. "Thank you for coming back." Sano helped Mud and Damien with the pack saddle and loading everything. He took a quick last look at the crash site. "That's everything."

Sanely InsaneMorgan shook her head. "Fire's not a problem for me. I'm not so sure about sunlight, but fire's fine. And no wolf for me, thanks." She walked over to the fire, found herself a nice, relatively clean spot, and sat down, stretching her wings out. Besides Razugual, there didn't seem to be anyone else here, though she could see the signs of their presence. Of course, there was the griffin, but it had taken off for parts unknown, and she wasn't too sure if it would be back or not. On one hand, if there weren't a lot of people here, then it would be easier for her to integrate into the group. On the other hand...she wasn't hungry right now, but if she did need to feed while she was here, there was going to be problems if there weren't any humans about. Not that there wouldn't be complications even if there was humans here; she doubted most people would willingly agree to having their blood sucked. "So...besides you and the griffin, is there anyone else around here?" she asked.

M.T. (Platypus Season)Razugual followed Morgan over to the fire, seating himself on the side opposite her. "Not sure about sunlight?" He asked, then waved a set of claws around behind him, "Don't you think that may be an issue for someone out in the desert? Of course, we still have a number of hours of darkness, but..." Razugual left the sentence unfinished, turning his head to look up at the night sky, trying to determine just how long it had been dark out. Unfortunately he had hopelessly lost track of the time, and, after rummaging through his chest for a moment he recalled that he'd given Mud's watch back to him shortly before they had come upon the gas station. Well, even if Razugual had had the watch, he wasn't sure if he could count on it to do what it was normally supposed to do, much like many of Mud's trinkets. Giving up on attempting to divine the time, and without a better idea than before, Razugual decided to answer Morgan's question instead. "Yes— well, sort of. There used to be quite a few of us a few hours ago, but since then they all seem to be disappearing without a word. I assumed that they were just going on their ways, but looking back, that seems more than a little peculiar. I mean... not a word from any of them. Maybe it's just me, but something doesn't feel entirely right with this whole place. Beyond the fact that most people seem to have ended up here with no intention of getting here in the first place." Razugual stared at the fire and gave another habitual sigh. After a moment, he perked up again and continued, "-However, there were a couple of people who left some hours ago to search for water. Damien, that gryphon you mentioned was a part of the group, so hopefully they at least are still out there, and won't take too long in returning. Also... Damien isn't- uh... he's not normally like that. A gryphon I mean. Well— as far as I know he isn't." He turned his head back— a little too far back to look at all natural—and looked in the direction the flare had come from. "...Hopefully we'll get the full story once they get back."
PIDamien returned to the campfire first, having the obvious advantage of flight over the other two, but the luggage from the balloon gave him some trouble. When the dust settled this time, he was squirming around on his back, probably crushing anything fragile he had been entrusted with. Eventually, he flailed himself right again and dumped the packages by the fireside. The girl he had seen before was at the fire now, and she had wings. He tore off a chunk of lukewarm wolf meat and lowered himself amiably beside the fire. "I'm Damien, " he said, "If I forgot to mention that earlier." He crunched a few bones in his beak. "Sorry. Bit distracted."

Sanely Insane"Well, it should be relatively dark inside that building, shouldn't it?" Morgan said, glancing at the structure she had first arrived in. "Worst come to worst, I could just hide out in there until the sun goes away. While I don't live anywhere near a desert, I've heard that it's a bad idea to be walking around in the sun anyway. Unless it's an absolute necessity that we should?" She looked back towards the fire. "I guess I'm no different from the others about how I arrived here. I just woke up on top of a toppled-over shelf, and well...." She shrugged. "Main reason I asked was because my dietary needs are a little...um...specialized, and-" The sound of something large hitting the ground, followed by a spray of dust, interrupted her. Startled, she covered her eyes with her arm to keep them from being irritated, only bothering to actually look to see who it was when she was certain everything had settled. As it turned out, it was Damien the griffin, coming back from whatever it was that had distracted him with a bunch of packages. Morgan watched him silently for a few moments as he placed the packages and tore into the wolf. If he was interested in eating her, he probably wouldn't have bothered trying to eat something else, so that was one worry off of her mind. Then again, didn't Razugual say something about Damien not normally being a griffin? Maybe he was in a similar situation to her own, and that could lead to some interesting conversational topics. At least, if being a griffin didn't alter his tastes as well. "Morgan, " she replied when Damien introduced himself, then looked at the packages by the fire. "If you don't mind me asking...where did the packages come from?"

If it's necessary, then we'll certainly stay." He paused, considering. "Well... on second thought, it might take some talking. I'm not sure actually. Except for my... travel partner... everyone else is a stranger to me, and more than half of them have already left, in one way or another. Anyone who I've had any real words with has gone, so I don't think I'm very fit to speak anyone's mind on the matter but my own." Razugual stared at the fire for another few moments, then looked back across at Morgan, his eyes slanted in a strange, apologetic sort of way. "I'm sorry... that doesn't really help, does it?" It was at this moment that Damien came flying back into the picture. Razugual stared at him through the considerable cloud of dust he'd stirred up in the wake of his landing and shook his head in amusement. After little while, he spoke. "Adding to what Morgan said, are the others still with you, and..." He tried thinking of a more concise way to put his question, but found himself stumped. "What... happened?"
About halfway back to the gas station and campfire, the magician, who had spent most of the walk murmuring quiet nonsense to himself, suddenly looked at Sano. He stared at the other man with narrowed eyes, an almost austere expression on his face. "Monsieur Sano, these people, your employers..." He frowned and looked ahead at the distant but visible glow of the campfire. "...why is it that you care for their lives? Or do you find me finding myself..." He stopped and looked back at Sano, the seriousness still on his face. "Or am I mistaken?"

Understanding Semantics
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis series provides approachable, yet authoritative, introductions to all the major topics in linguistics. Ideal for students with little or no prior knowledge of linguistics, each book carefully explains the basics, emphasising understanding of the essential notions rather than arguing for a particular theoretical position.
Understanding Semantics offers a complete introduction to linguistic semantics. The book takes a step-by-step approach, starting with the basic concepts and moving through the central questions to examine the methods and results of the science of linguistic meaning.
Understanding Semantics unites the treatment of a broad scale of phenomena using data from different languages with a thorough investigation of major theoretical perspectives. It leads the reader from their intuitive knowledge of meaning to a deeper understanding of the use of scientific reasoning in the study of language as a communicative tool, of the nature of linguistic meaning, and of the scope and limitations of linguistic semantics.
Ideal as a first textbook in semantics for undergraduate students of linguistics, this book is also recommended for students of literature, philosophy, psychology and cognitive science. less

"I think it's a good thing. Any diet that restricts healthful foods in vitamins and minerals is not good in the short term."
"People are using vitamins and minerals no longer as an adjunct to diet, but as medicines in their own right."

In response to the possibility that an Argentinean congressional committee might begin considering approval of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the National Secretariat for the Family of the Bishops' Conference of Argentina warned the ratification of the convention could force abortion to be legalized in the country.
In a statement this week, the secretariat said approval of the Convention would "imply the renouncing of sovereignty and would open a wide door to the future approval of abortion."
"The Church's commitment is to support the rights of women and cannot be dependent upon agreements or recommendations that pretend to guarantee the practice of abortion as a public service," the bishops said.
Likewise the secretariat warned lawmakers of the danger of a cultural dependence that ratification of the Convention would entail, as it would mean renouncing the values that characterize the people of Argentina.
Various provincial governments, including those of Misiones, Salta, San Juan and Mendoza, have expressed their opposition to the ratification of the Convention.

pretty well everything
COLD plates for the cooked breakfast!!! There was no discriminattion between the price for a continental or a full english breakfast.
Very helpful staff Great location for me
I wasn't there long enough to dislike anything really!
The staff were pleasant, and the location was suitable for our needs.
Bedroom dirty and tired with age, main light inoperative, one coathanger to share, window dripping condensation. Bathroom horrible and filthy, basin cracked with tap dripping through the crack onto floor. WC seat mismatched. Tiles cracked, bulging, some replaced with different colour, pipework disgusting. Breakfast cooked to order, but they got that wrong. Public rooms dingy and tired. Outside paving blocks lifted and broken but not repaired. The price - paying Holiday Inn prices for accommodation and food is totally unjustified.
The ladies behind the desk
Mattresses must be 50 yrs old. Bathrooms smelled of mildew and it was around the tub and on the shower head. I tried not to touch anything.
staff were friendly and helpful
room in poor state of repair, bathroom- black mould around bath, bath panel in very poor state, crack in basin, hair behind door, toilet rim black, extractor fan not working. very disappointed @ £140 per night.
Diner good
Bed awful Lights buzzed Breakfast dry and horrible and service indifferent Basin plug in bathroom was disgustingly dirty
Great hotel, staff good
Bathroom could do with a good clean, a lot of Moldova around bath tiles
Food was a bit expensive
On arrival receptionist was more than helpful with us and very friendly
The breakfast wasnt nice
The room was comfortable and quite large. The bed was king size and very comfortable. The lounge area was good. Extra tea bags and milk were left when I asked.
There was an empty water bottle on the floor in our bedroom behind the curtain which had not been removed during cleaning prior to our arrival. We were disappointed to find that there was no cold plate available for breakfast, as not everyone likes the cooked breakfast. I was given some yogurt, cheese and ham when I asked, but there were also no croissants or pastries available on the table, but may have been if I'd asked for those too. There was only one member of staff on duty.
Not a lot really
The hotel is in need of a refurb', the food & service were poor in terms of quality & content
Breakfast was good
Poor insulation...could hear everything from the next room. Really irritating.
staff were super helpful lovely location food was excellent
walking through the bar/lounge every time you went in or out too noisey can hear ever little noise, no respect for sleeping guests with doors banging and staff talking loud outside guest bedrooms
Staff were very friendly and helpful 12 check out very good as we had a very long day travelling etc on Sunday and it was nice to have a lay in.
Cleanliness wasn't very good wash basin was dirty,and kettle was stained inside.
Staff were very helpful despite the fact that Booking.com did not pass on our reservation and being the British Grand Prix weekend we were very lucky to have a room although not the one we booked.
Very dissatisfied with Booking.com
Lovely staff, very helpful and one of the best breakfasts I've had in a hotel in ages
The rowdy wedding party - children tearing up and down the corridor. Not the hotel's fault though.
friendly staff, very helpful good food and a buffet breakfast, the ford apprentices staying at the hotel certainly enjoyed it. had read some bad reviews but we had nothing to complain about comfortable bed not too much road noise
Nothing would stay again
Breakfast was way too expensive for 2 bowls of cereal and nothing else, no tea, coffee or juce, you should have a price for people who just want toast & tea or coffee, or cereal & tea or coffee £ 5.00 would be fair.
There was a blood stain on the bed cover in kingroom 54
Friendly helpful staff, willing to help resolve issues. Good value for money. Most modern conveniences like in-room wifi and bar/lounge area. Nice quiet country location.
In-room storage space was limited, but still adequate for a short stay.
Staff very welcoming and helpful. Pleasant restaurant area Very nice decor and ambience Peaceful atmosphere Easy access to motorway and Northampton town centre
Great breakfast and very competitive pricing.
King bed is two singles joined together!
Room was large with all facilities you expect. TV was incredibly clear and very easy to use. Reception desk were extremely helpful. Every bit as good as the very expensive £150+ a night hotels in area.
Bed was quite small and not as firm as I like.
Staff were Fantastic, Really Friendly and made us feel at home
Room Decor could be improved

Lance Lynn SP STL 2 Months
Lynn will be ready to go for Saturday's Game 1 of the NLCS in case Adam Wainwright is a late scratch or has to be pulled early, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Obviously the Cards would much rather have him pitch Game 2, but given Wainwright's scare earlier this week and the strong performances of John Lackey and Shelby Miller against the Dodgers, they can afford to use him in this capacity as well.
Lance Lynn SP STL 3 Months
Lynn will start Game 2 of the NLDS against the Dodgers on Saturday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
Manager Mike Matheny announced his rotation order for the NLDS on Wednesday, and Lynn will start behind ace Adam Wainwright, with John Lackey to follow in Game 3. Shelby Miller will start Game 4, assuming neither team sweeps the series in three games. Lynn was clobbered to the tune of nine runs (eight earned) on 13 hits and six walks over just eight innings in two starts against the Dodgers during the regular season.
Lance Lynn SP STL 3 Months
Lynn worked six innings in Sunday's loss to the Reds, surrendering three runs on four hits and two walks while racking up nine strikeouts.
The three earned runs that Lynn gave up Sunday night matched the same total he had allowed during his last three starts combined. The big right-hander has been not just the Cardinals most reliable starter here in the second half, but one of best in the NL. Over 13 outings since the break, Lynn has posted an impressive 2.17 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 8.1 K/9 across 83 innings. He is scheduled to be back atop the mound Saturday in Arizona.
Lance Lynn SP STL 3 Months
Lynn gave up one run on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts in seven innings Tuesday against the Brewers.
The Cardinals' bullpen (Trevor Rosenthal) gave up the lead, denying Lynn of his 16th win of the season. It was easy to point to Lynn's solid strikeout rate and suggest he'd be a valuable fantasy pitcher once again this season, but hardly anyone could have predicted he'd have a sub-3.00 ERA, and that should be the case, as he currently boasts a 2.68 ERA with two starts left on the schedule. He'll take the mound next on Monday in Chicago and then will pitch the Cardinals' final game of the regular season Sept. 28 in Arizona.
Lance Lynn SP STL 3 Months
Lynn (15-9) took a tough-luck loss in Cincinnati on Thursday, allowing just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six in an eight-inning complete game.
Unfortunately, Johnny Cueto was one better, as he didn't allow any runs at all in his eight innings despite serving up the same amount of hits and walks. Nonetheless, Lynn continues to deliver quality starts (six straight now) and push his ERA down; at 2.73, he's in a tie with Zack Greinke for sixth-best in the National League. Lynn is scheduled for a home date against the Rockies on Wednesday.
Lance Lynn SP STL 3 Months
Lynn improved to 15-8 with a victory over the Brewers on Saturday night.
He struck out six and walked four, navigating through a few bumpy frames en route to a six-inning performance where he gave up three runs -- one earned -- on five hits. Lynn will face the Reds at Great American Ballpark on Thursday in his next scheduled start.
Lance Lynn SP STL 4 Months
Lynn did not record a decision Monday against the Pirates as he pitched six innings and allowed three runs, eight hits and three walks to go along with three strikeouts.
Lynn has posted four straight quality starts and is having a solid season overall with a 2.85 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He doesn't provide a ton of strikeouts though as he has 150 strikeouts in 170.2 innings.
Lance Lynn SP STL 4 Months
Lynn went six innings Tuesday, giving up two runs on six hits while walking three and fanning three in a no-decision against the Pirates.
Lynn showed tremendous control, getting ahead of batters frequently with 22-of-28 first-pitch strikes. Despite missing out on the win, he's 14-8 on the season with a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 147 K's in 164.2 innings, making him a solid second fiddle behind ace Adam Wainwright in the Cards' rotation.
Lance Lynn SP STL 4 Months
Lynn pitched seven shutout-innings, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out five batters before picking up his 14th win (14-8) of the year in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Lynn continues to be an anchor in the Cardinals' rotation and has given up only 11 earned runs in his last nine starts (spanning 54.1 innings). With a 2.78 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 144:57 K:BB ratio in 158.2 innings pitched this year, Lynn is as reliable as they come. His next start is set for Tuesday on the road against the Pirates.
Lance Lynn SP STL 4 Months
Lynn gave up one run on six hits while striking out six hitters, as he picked up his 13th win on the season against the Padres on Friday.
It was a fantastic bounce-back game for Lynn who suffered previously in his last less-than-stellar outing. Lynn (2.91 ERA) threw 102 pitches on the night where he didn't have an issue staying ahead of Padres' hitters. Lynn will take the mound next Wednesday against the Reds.

Prime Instant Video Greenlights Zombieland Original Series Pilot From Sony Pictures Television
(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Amazon Studios, the original movie and series production arm of Amazon.com, today announced it will add cult classic Zombieland to the line-up of pilots already in production for Prime Instant Video. Zombieland, which is the seventh comedy pilot added to Amazon's pilot line-up, will be made available (along with the other six comedy pilots and six children's pilots) for free on Amazon Instant Video and LOVEFiLM UK. Customers are invited to view the pilots and then review them on the site; customer feedback will help determine which of the 13 pilots Amazon Studios will make into full-season productions, to air on Prime Instant Video.
" Zombieland is a fan favorite and we can't wait to see where this story line goes in a serialized format," said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios. "We've been announcing a lot of exciting exclusive content for Prime Instant Video, like Downton Abbey, Under the Dome, and Justified, and we think adding original shows to that lineup is going to make Prime even more enticing for customers."
Zombieland is based on the hit Columbia Pictures movie of the same name, and finds four survivors outwitting zombies and searching for a place to call home. The Zombieland pilot comes from the feature film's original creative team, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick ( G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Joe Schmo Show), and producer Gavin Polone ( Gilmore Girls, Curb Your Enthusiasm). Eli Craig ( Tucker and Dale vs. Evil) is directing the pilot.
The part of Tallahassee will be played by Kirk Ward ( The Island), Maiara Walsh (Desperate Housewives, Switched at Birth) is cast as Wichita, Tyler Ross ( Milkshake) will play Columbus, and Izabela Vidovic has the role of Little Rock."Zombieland will strive to break the rules—action, adventure, thrills, chills and laughs and all packed into a half hour format," said creator Paul Wernick. "This is not your average show but Amazon is not your average network."

NEW YORK (WFAN) - NHL commissioner Gary Bettman joined WFAN's Mike Francesa on Monday and offered some tips to the NBA on how to handle their ongoing lockout.
NBA labor talks broke down last Thursday night, leaving the season in jeopardy.
"If you're going to take a year off, you better really address your problems," Bettman said.
Listen: Gary Bettman with Mike Francesa
He would know. The 2004–05 NHL lockout resulted in the cancellation of what would have been the 88th season of play of the NHL. It was the first time the Stanley Cup was not awarded since 1919, and the first time a major professional sports league in North America canceled a complete season because of a labor dispute.
"We understood that if we were going to do what we did, we better make a substantial improvement. You never say it was worth it…but if you've got to do it you better make it count."
Bettman also addressed the future of the Islanders. Residents of Nassau County rejected the issue of $400 million in bonds to build a new arena for the team in August.
"It's inconceivable to me that the Islanders wouldn't be on Long Island. It would be malpractice for those in charge to allow that to happen."

Got this inSpain after 18 days from ordering, which I think it is really fast. It's a really small device that can be placed/mounted everywhere; it stands in position by itself. Made of sturdy plastic it doesn't seem it will break any soon. I also ordered with this SKU148170, tested both and they display ... Read more
the thing is really small, and as such can be mounted anywhere: I got it glued on the front side (the glass) of my humidor.drilled a tight hole in the wood side of the doors and fixed the cable in it.the probe is tucked behind the cigars and the whole thing doesnt seem like a DIY :) plus,it comes with ...

NanoTCAD ViDES is a device simulator able to compute transport in nanoscale devices, solving self-consistently the 3D Poisson and quantum transport equation within the NEGF formalism.
This version of NanoTCAD ViDES deals with Graphene Nanoribbon (GNR), Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Silicon Nanowire FET with arbitrary gate geometry. In particular, transport in CNT is computed solving the pz-orbital tight-binding Hamiltonian, both on a mode and real space basis set. Transport in SNWT is instead computed within the effective mass approximation.
For what concerns GNR and CNT, devices with Schottky barriers and doped reservoirs can be both simulated.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Westbury, NY, December 23, 2014 01:07Love the truck this is my daily driver has on star with LTZ model ventilated seats and navigation. Silverado rides like a Escalade the 5.3L engine is powerful dash screen convenient with all options the fabrics are nice love the style. This truck was bought in January 2014 no problems at 39,090 miles taking into shop on oil changes. I have leased vehicles but glad I financed my Silverado a great truck ever.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Cape Coral, FL, October 28, 2014 08:32My truck is a crew cab,short bed 4wd 5.3 Z engine.I bought this truck in late 2010 from original owner with 22k on odometer.Like the truck very much, wish it had disc brakes on rear.I don't understand why GM does that.Heater controls are difficult to use, if you want just fresh air it puts airflow on floor only.It has nice stereo and speakers with overhead rear tv screen.
2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Southfield, MI, August 28, 2014 04:24Poor reliability could say more other than go buy something else!
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500zevette, Ludlow, MA, April 11, 2014 11:26After every start, the exterior temp display is on for two to three minutes. Then it starts flashing and turns off. What should I look at. The sensor in front of radiator is new. It's also the second one.Enthusiast
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Saint Martinville, LA, March 11, 2014 17:32Had problems with the gauges stop working received a letter about a recall toke truck in a was told that the mileage was to high and the recall did not apply now the oil filter keeps popping off. What does a person to do now. It seems that nothing is ever GM's problems anymore
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500connorl478, Deatsville, AL, March 02, 2014 19:43My 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 regular cab 4.3 V6 still running strong. 195808 miles on it. Was abused by my dad's workers while it was a work truck for Davey Tree. Those idiots even burnt up the engine too. Rebuilt it and now care for it like it should be cared for. Transmission still shifts like new. Brakes are great. Makes my dad's 2011 F250 look like nothing. Best truck I've ever used and owned.Rookie
2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Loveland, OH, January 09, 2014 06:32Purchased 10/31/2012 a 2013 Silverado dual cab. Having problems with wind up windows since day one. Ben back to two dealers multiple times. Dealers still have no fixed the problem. Windows are almost impossible to wind up. My wife has to stop the vehicle, get out of the truck, and wind up the windows. Have had problem with drive train, it was not luberacated properly by the manufacture, made loud noise when shifting. Oil leek right out of the box. Poor gas mileage for six cylinders: Average between 12mpg and 13mpg. Manual does not tell you how to reset when rotating tires.
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500K-man Chevy Truck, Mokelumne Hill, CA, December 22, 2013 14:17My 2005 Silverado 1500 Z-71 LT 4 x 4 has got to be one of the best trucks ever made. I hope I don't kick myself in the ass by posting this and then everything goes south, but i have to say this. I have never pulled a spark plug. I have never taken a wire off of a plug. I bought it brand new in January of 2005 and still have the original plugs and wires. I have only used Mobil 1 synthetic since my first oil change and replace oil/filter every 3500-5000 miles. I know there are people out there saying that's wasting money changing the oil too frequently, but I would do it the exact same way if i was to buy another. I've got 270,000+ miles on the truck and a lot of those were doing some crazy stuff. I hauled all of the soil for my garden from the valley below day after day by just filling the box 'til she squatted too much. I ran demo derby cars and hauled them around. I pulled a loaded 27' travel trailer off the stock bumper up to Yosemite more than 20 times. Same trailer over the Altamont and San Luis Reservoir Pass. I moved a couple 10' x 16' buildings in the mud and then a few miles down the road. I've helped numerous stranded motorists in the snow and used it as a dead man or pull vehicle falling huge trees. I've hauled over a 100 cords of wood with it. I've been buried in mud up the the bottom of the doors with the exhaust barely getting out. I pulled 5-7 ton rock and sand trailers locally. I've also been very comfortable the whole while. I love my truck more than a person should. I've asked it to do a lot over the years and it has never let me down. I wish I knew more people that I could say the same about. My buddy has an '07 though...beautiful truck, but tons of issues. The only thing i would probably have done differently is that i would have opted for the crew cab vs. the extended, but that's it. Anybody else out there had a similar experience with spark plugs and wires....stock AC/Delco never touched, cleaned, pulled,...nothing ....250,000+ miles! Seriously! What's the record?Enthusiast
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Briggsdale, CO, September 16, 2013 00:29I have a 2002 Chevy 1500 LT Z71 with 242,000 miles and still runs perfect. I have kept up with general maintance and have replaced and fixed a few minor things...fuel pump, altenator etc. Still the stock engine and tranny and I couldn't be happier then how this truck has lasted. I still put on almost 500 miles a week on it, granted all highway and no hot rodding it this truck has never ler me down. Even with the high miles I would drive this truck cross country in a heart beat without thinking twice about it.
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Norfolk, VA, July 28, 2013 18:16Truck has 203k miles. Just replace my rocker panels and cab corners. Drives great, but auto trans shifts hard from 1 to 2. and fuel gauge is erratic, and air conditioner will not hold pressure. overall a good old truck.
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, York, PA, February 20, 2013 06:442006 Crew Cab Silverado- Bought used in 2010 with 32K original miles. At my 1st inspection (Pa. has annual inspection requirements)needed new brake lining. Didn't get the inspection from the dealer, rather my trustworthy local mechanic.Original lining was rusted & pitted terribly. I inquired & researched to find Chevy was/is aware they used inferior materials & I actually recouped some of the replacement cost. Now I'm experiencing similar situation with brake fluid tubing rusting out. Replaced one last month & just dropped the truck off for another.My mechanic is recommending replacing the remaining tubes.Anyone know of any trends where the tubes are rusting out on others? Anyone know of a good web site that collects autombile defect trends, not advertized as recalls, but if challenged, Mfg ackowledges the defect & provides some type of relief?
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Catskill, NY, January 26, 2013 14:57i have an 2004 chevy silverado 1500 2wd 4.3 the truck has 182,000 and i have never had a problem until now. i was driving and i was at a red light and i punched on the gas and 10 secondes later the trucks shuts of and i pull over try startin it and it wont start so i waited 5 mins it started but the light came on what could that be? i went to advance auto zone and car quest they put it on the computer and it read code p0016 crankshaft position senior and cam sensor so i replaced them and the light still not staying off what can that be?
2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Riverton, IL, December 06, 2012 14:18i have an extended 1500 (2012) vibration between 65 and 75 mph chevy says is is characteristic of truck...any body else have this problem?? dealer has done all that he can...chevy wants me to live with it for free oil changes until they can fix..any ideas??
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Decatur, GA, November 26, 2012 14:58My name is sims and my problem is that my 2007 chevy 1500 is making a ticking noise and its stops for a few days and starts over again. I'm really try to reach out to the gm company so that they may tell myself and others that this is a recall issue. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com its time to end this problem.
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Indialantic, FL, October 31, 2012 16:16Iam very happy with my Silverado and with the southern comfort package it looks as stunning as iy runs. I have 90,000 miles on it and I have only had one issue with it and that is the switch for the four wheel drive. The fuel milage I get just blows away any other truck out there, I average 19.8 mpg on the highway and 17.8 mpg in the city. It is such a pleasure to drive.
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Thibodaux, LA, October 30, 2012 08:44This is the best truck I have ever owned, 2003 SS with 191,518 miles and I'm now about to spend 2,000.00 in preventive maintenance just to be sure I can continue for another ten years!!!! I have always changed fluids when recommended and brake pads, thats it. The paint job is loosing its clear coat because I left it in the sun to long, other than that every single component work just fine however I don't abuse the truck but I do like to clean out the carbon every so often!
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Milo, ME, October 27, 2012 12:44my 06 silverado has 100,000 miles and it always seems like i have 2 step on it and kick it down constantly. The check engine lite is not on and i have plenty of fuel pressure and converters are not plugged. the garage said there is nothing wrong,but i think there is. It is a 4.8L 4 door. has any1 had this happen,i cant stand to drive it
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500cridersam, Oberlin, OH, October 17, 2012 19:10183,000 miles and still runs great. Only problem so far was the abs brake mod. Good solid body still with only little rust on pass side rocker. Best part is no payment for on 9 years now!Rookie
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Kanopolis, KS, July 05, 2012 11:542007 Crew LTZ 4x4, 5.3L, Overall I really like this truck, but if I hadn't had the 100K warranty I would have had to pay for a new transmission that failed at 62K. Otherwise, engine uses some oil (2 qrts every 3500) and the dealer has been working with me to figure it out (I'm at 110K now, but prob was diagnosed w/92K). So even though I like the truck it is not without issues, gas mileage poor, and occassional static in stereo system from the rear speakers only. I will buy again though providing dealer comes thru on engine repair. My 2004 crew was probably a little better truck.
2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Three Rivers, MA, May 24, 2012 11:11I have a 2008 Silverado Crew Cab...Love this truck....I need to replace the driveshaft because of an incident that my grandmother did, She got hung up on a boulder and dented the driveshaft....But other than that, I love this truck

2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Troutdale, OR, January 10, 2012 16:03I have a 2002 silverado PU extended cab 1500 with the 327 engine , it has nearly 200,000 miles on it , All I have ever done to it is 1 brake job, one fuel pump, one new set of tires, and one the the gears in the tranny went bad. Other then that it still looks like new and drives smooth and has a lot of power. I love it ! best vehicle I have ever owned
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Palm Coast, FL, December 12, 2011 13:45My 2003 silverado has been the worst vehicle I have owned. I had a 1993 and it was great, got 250,000 miles before engine went out on it shouaced of dropped a new engine in it instead of buying yhe 2003 model. Replaced brakes recently had to replace all four because of a recall on the brake system. Speedometer stopped working at about 100,000 miles, $600 dollars to fix. Fuel pump replaced $1000 dollars, bottom gasket on engine quote to replace $600 dollars. Now you now what I meant when I say worst truck or car I have ever had.
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Newbern, TN, November 21, 2011 09:39I have a 2004 silverado z71 crew cab very nice, good mileage, engine and tranny runs strong , quiet, plenty of power.EVEN WITH 210,000 MILES!!

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Gulf Breeze, FL, August 03, 2011 18:36A great truck, but all the chevy truck I've have owned have been great.1500 crew cab rides well, very roomy, 16 mpg, tows well 8600 lbs trailer to the mountains. Plenty power for the take off on just moving a long in traffic. The brakes are the best. one day at 60mph had to make an emergency stop 40 feet till impact, She stoped three feet before impact and saved the day and lives. Great antlock brake system. A big thanks to Chevrolet safty team. The coldest ac ever in 100 degree weather.I wood recommend this 2005 crew cab to anyone. YES TO CHEVY ANY DAY!!!!
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500BigReox7, Fishers, IN, February 21, 2011 18:52I have a 2007 1500 new style body. I have had it for 2years and there are 45k miles on it. I have had no problems.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Lapeer, MI, December 10, 2010 06:50New crew cab truck (only 5k), so far, great. Just drove 2,000 miles in 3 days. Everything worked just fine. Comfy leather seating and 5.3l made the miles just roll along. Quiet and strong. Got even 19 mpg on trip, according to DIC.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Pottstown, PA, November 03, 2010 11:06No big compliants except for the fan for my heater had to be repalced. The truck was abou 2 yeats old. Also, now I am having problems with the heating system. I googled the problem and it seems like over 240 people have had the same issue about the heat working on one side and not the other. Still have to resolve it because the problem could cost over 1000 dollars
2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500shiver2, Reedsport, OR, September 10, 2010 22:18purchased new in nov.99 have only 40k miles but have not had a single issue with the truck , have up many up grades that have made it a very powerfull 5.3 4x4 impressive truck all around , just havent come out with a better body style to upgrade truck !Rookie
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, New Smyrna Beach, FL, August 26, 2010 13:37At 70,000 bad vibration when braking. Replaced front rotors and pads, vibration or pulsing is worse. Have not had ABS problems, truck was used in New England towing snowmobiles. I will now tackle the rear braking system, ie, rotors and pads. I wish I knew how to yell if the front calipers are bad and causing the pulsing.
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Knox, PA, August 10, 2010 13:10My 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 officially has 204,400 miles on it! And the transmission finally gave... putting in a used one and expect to get many more miles out of her! Great Truck!

2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Southaven, MS, July 08, 2010 14:32Problem with suspension vibration/frame beaming and loose steering, and audio speakers are bad. Otherwise, this is a solid truck.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Tipp City, OH, May 19, 2010 14:35Overall very pleased with my 2007 Classic 1500. Now at 84,000 miles. Only a few complaints. The front brake rotors warped bad at 40,000 and now I think i have a bad abs sensor on the right front. Loud vibration at 45 mph. for the guy who has a rattle in his dash, i found the plastic housing on the outside defrost panel vibrates at above 50 mph. siliconed it down (screws on it seem useless), rattle went away

2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Old Town, ME, April 05, 2010 10:34Big step up from my ford ranger! great fuel miliage, done a few modifications but on the highway i can get upwords to 21 mpg
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Union City, MI, March 28, 2010 16:44I have the GMC version of this,they are exactly the same truck except for trim, I know,because I watched them go down the line for 22 years at Ft.Wayne truck Assy. plant. I love this truck it has not been any trouble at all, I replaced the rear brakes at 84,000 miles and that is all I've done to it. When I wax it people have asked if it is only a couple years old, it is now 7 years old and I will keep it till it quits and then fix it,even if it needs a new engine at 250k miles. I will leave this truck to my son.
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500sb219, Hancock, MI, March 17, 2010 20:09The only problems I have had are rear brakes and a front anti lock sensor recall. It get descent gas mileage at 18 to 20 MPG. Tows an older 25 ft camping trailer with no problem. Hauls a full load of fresh cut hardwood with ease. Rides comfortably, low interior noise. Rear seat is comfortable enough for short to mid distant trips, not long ones unless you take more brakes.Enthusiast
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500jacob832, Sacramento, CA, March 16, 2010 11:44this truck has been awesome standard cab and lowered. Has never needed brakes for over 15ok miles. The only problems I have had with it is with the suspension because it is lowered!Enthusiast
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500DougsTruck, Midlothian, VA, March 10, 2010 12:38This is a great truck overall. Mine is on the highway all the time, probably not the best place for it. Mileage poor when new, but slowly got better until I replaced the tires and it went down again. I suspect new tires hurt the mileage. I was getting close to 21 on the highway. Added the buttons to get the DIC data. Simple to do, don't let the dealer charge you for this, great upgrade for less than 100 bucks. Takes all of 14 seconds to do. At about 80k, the rear end would kick and squawk when coming to a stop, at a stop or just letting off the brake to go. Had to have the drive-shaft spline re-greased but that did seem to fix it. We'll see. There is some sort of a vibration in the dash, I can't seem to put my finger on. Typical Chevy vibration but annoying none the less. Hour meter reset itself at some point. Now only showing 400 hours. (with 84,000 miles, that would mean I drive at 210mph. I dont guess this is worth complaining about because they could only guess anyway. Can't complain got 83,000 miles on the OEM tires and front brakes. I change the oil about every 11k per the oil life monitor and rotate the tires every 6-7k. If I was going to build this truck, I would, as silly as it seems, paint the insides of the rear wheel well black to match the front. It looks sort of goofy. Added DIC mod, tilting bed tonneu, and locking tailgate handle. Installed laptop mount in front and wi-fi. Again, overall a good truck. I think I'll keep it when it's time for a new work car.Enthusiast
2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500urah, Corvallis, OR, February 23, 2010 21:12Bought my 2000 new & have hauled many loads up & down the Alaska-Canada Highway (2400 mi, one way), loaded to the limit (usually beyond) and pulling a grossly overloaded trailer. 200000 miles now: 1 clutch (well earned), 1 fuel pump, ball joints & front wheel bearings @ 150000 mi. (All well earned), 1 set rear brake pads (I am still using the ORIGINAL FRONT BRAKE PADS! 30% (I don't tailgate). LOVE THIS TRUCK, it's been my best friend on many a cold morning. urah.Rookie
2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Mark55, Royal Oak, MI, November 24, 2009 05:45Great truck! Average mileage on a 5000 mile western camping trip with the truck loaded with gear and 4 passengers was 19.1 MPG.Enthusiast
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500SmlBlk-327, Cedar Rapids, IA, November 23, 2009 16:35I purchased the truck in 2009 with 112,000 mi. I had checked the Carfax before purchase and I was the 4th owner. The truck is very sound with just some minor rust in the usual spots. Engine and drive train are strong and overall the truck rides, feels, and looks new. The only problem I have had was the OEM Fog lights didn't work Solid as Rock!!Enthusiast
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500chrismcdad, Beverly Hills, CA, November 02, 2009 13:13Extremely well maintained by my company - driven respectably - spent more in maintenance than it was worth. CONS: Endless problems with brakes as well as spongy feel (like my 86 Suburban); front D.S. wheel bearings and axle; so-so economy even when driving like a grandpa. PROS: rides like a car, engine itself is very good, auto-4wd is seamless when the front wheel bearings aren't failing.Rookie
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500cribfish, Vancouver, WA, June 29, 2009 21:22I purchased this truck new and only have 16,000 miles on it. It handles and rides great. The LTZ options, especially the power folding mirrors really make this truck nice. The only problem has been the power seat on the drivers side works interminttently. The one thing I don't like about this truck is the slow steering responce when backing up a boat trailer.Enthusiast
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500racerj61, Westwood, NJ, June 22, 2009 20:075.3 Engine tap when first starting since new. Dealer "claimed" cam and lifters replaced. 7 years later, same tap from 1 lifter.Also when new, fuel sender faulty and CD did not operate correctly and "Low Fuel" signal never came on. Cluster, fuel module and radio replaced. Replaced intermediate steering shaft 3 times for clunking left turns over bumps and sqeaking. Fog lamps fill with water and 1 lens fell off. Front rotors pitted on inside surface causing a grind while braking at 20k. Just replaced left front hub (65K) Squeak when releasing brake pedal (in booster). Not the best truck but can't complain. It was a gift.Rookie
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500changoparati, Lancaster, CA, June 16, 2009 16:01This Z-71 Silverado is by far the nicest truck I've ever owned and rides like a car but hauls around everything I've needed to for the construction business (within reason) other than normal maintenance I havent had to do a thing to it except replace fuel pump at 210,000 and the transfer case because I never put it in 4wd to lube it as i should haveEnthusiast

2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Dasco, Little Mountain, SC, April 10, 2009 08:52Only real issues have been: - 17.5 Highway MPG - Headlights dim when windows are operated - Transmission "Clunks" from 1st to 2nd when the vehicle has been slowed down and then speeding back up; like when you hit a traffic jamb coming off the highway and then on the off-ramp you are starting to accelerate again.Enthusiast
