My favorite jeans!
I have two pairs of these jeans and have worn them and worn them, and they don't wear out. I have trouble finding talls that are long enough, and these are. They're soooo comfortable, and slimming, and I LOVE them! I'm buying three more while they're on sale!
San Antonio
so so
I don't mind that they are thin, I prefer that feel for comfort. They seemed to run a bit small/tight, and were quite long for petites. I'm about 5'4 and thought that would be an ankle length, but they are way longer than that. Not cost effective to return, since metrostyle has very high shipping fees, both ways. I would not buy these again, also fabric was not the softest.

I want 10 more
Best fit and deal I ever got!!!!
New London, CT
Changing Quality
I have worn Metro Blues Skinny Leggings for several years. I have them in brown, dark denim and black. All three pair are a medium/heavy weight denim material. The last pair I purchased are wine and the weight of the material is noticeably thinner. The seams are a scant 3/8" (prone to rip). They do not have the wearing ease that the previous pairs did (I am 14 pounds lighter). Please go back to your original cut and fabric.
Newark, NJ
Not as described
I don't call these leggings. They are just straight leg elastic waistband jeans. Got the grey. Too loose for tucking in my boots.
These are too loose fitting to be called "leggings" -- they are cotton stretch pants with an elastic waist. They are very comfortable, but not at all what I expected. I bought the black ones, everything fuzzy sticks to them so they never look clean. They are shrinking every time I wash them, and pretty soon they will be too short to wear.
Monrovia, CA
Love'em !
I have worn Metro Blues for years! They fit great, fade just right, and NEVER wear out.I have several pairs of these jeans in different colors, from dark navy to faded denim and one black pair that has faded handsomely to a charcoal gray over about 8 years of wear. Without a doubt, the Metro Blues skinny leg jeans are by far my favorites !
Flowery Branch, GA
The only ones
I do not own any other pants than these. I have over 25 pairs in all colors. Every year new colors come out and I add them to my collection. Don't ever take them away!
Miami, fl
Light wash color not as pictured
The light wash leggings are not nearly as light as the picture. In fact, there is very little difference between the light wash and the vintage.They fit great, though, and are very comfortable. I had to take the legs in because I like a slim fit.
Debbi Johnson Higginbotham
Huntsville, AL
Skinny Jeans
I was concerned after I purchased praying and hoping these would look good..WOW! These are amazing..I'm 5 ft. 10 and got the medium tall in black..The black is very very black and the length is fabulous! I don't tuck in anything anyway, so the elastic waist is really comfortable versus the button jeans..Just SO SO Hapoy with these, and I rarely write reviews!
Candace Schott
Centrevill,e VA
Simply the Best!
I have several pairs of these leggings. They are so comfortable. The fabric is very soft, & there is just enough stretch for a great fit. These should be a staple for any wardrobe. The price is always great. These are the only leggings I buy. They always fit, whereas store brands are very inconsistent. If you have the means, buy one in every color!
Bama Fashionista
Skinny Leggings
These pants run true to size. Fabric is for late spring to early fall wear. For the sale price, they are a great addition to a casual wardrobe.

As the nation was formally
introduced to our beloved Dallas Braden
during the Perfect Game Media Tour these past weeks, it got me thinking about
all the colorful characters I've had the privilege to work with during my career
in sports PR. While Dallas is truly one of the most unique
athletes I have ever encountered–(Do you know
anyone else who has a mustache tattoo
imprinted on their index finger!?)–the one common thread to all the sports
teams and leagues I've worked for is each has featured charismatic
personalities. It's why you'll never get
bored in this industry. So in tribute to
Braden's recent appearance on Late Night
with David Letterman, here's my all-time Top 10 List of colorful characters
I've worked with over the years (including Braden). Today we're going to
discuss the first 5, and tomorrow we'll bring you 6-10.
- Tex Schramm,
World League President–Tex, who
launched the NFL's international league after building a legacy as the
architect of "America's Team," the Dallas Cowboys, was kind of the John Wayne of pro sports.
A PR and marketing genius, Schramm was oblivious that there was a
world outside of football. As his
PR man, I once accompanied him on a trip to Milan
where he was attempting to establish a World League franchise in Italy. We drove out to the small town of Monza one day to inspect a possible playing venue and
frustrations bubbled to the surface.
He started grumbling for no apparent reason. Same thing later that evening as he was
perusing a menu at a Milan
restaurant. I finally asked him,
"What's wrong. You've been in a
fowl mood all day." Schramm, still visibly
disgruntled, responded, "Gee, Rose, everything
here is in Italian! Traffic signs, menus, everything!" After digesting what I had just heard, I
just kind of blurted it out….."Tex, we're
in Italy!"
- Eddie "Meat
Cleaver" Weaver, LA Express Defensive Tackle–Eddie was the type of character that a new
football league attracts. He had a
decent college pedigree, having starred at Georgia on the Bulldog teams
that featured Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker. But it wasn't his football playing that
left the strongest impression. It
was his uncanny resemblance to Laurence Tureaud, better known as "Mr. T" in mid-80's hit TV
series, "The A-Team." Of course,
underneath that tough guy exterior was a real teddy bear. But he did love to intimidate when the
opportunity presented itself. One
afternoon at our weekly luncheon with the Los Angeles area media, Weaver was a featured
guest. A rather inexperienced
female correspondent for ABC Radio posed an innocent question to Meat
Cleaver when he took the podium.
"Eddie, with skill position players like Steve Young getting all the media attention, do you ever
feel someone like you is under appreciated?"
Mr. Weaver, in his best Mr. T impression, cast a stare at her,
penetrating her very soul. Then,
retaining his fearsome scowl, responded, "What do you mean, skeeeeeeeel position?" At this point, the reporter was shaking
in her shoes. Eddie, knowing he had
her right where he wanted her, then cracked a big smile and the entire
room burst into laughter.
- Bob Zuber,
Pepperdine Baseball Coach–While
this may not be an obvious choice on the Rose character list, the more I
think back to my early college days, the more "Zube" deserves to make the
cut. He arrived at Pepperdine as an
assistant coach after a long stint at USC under legendary Trojan head
coach Rod Dedeaux. What set Zuber apart from any other
coach was he was the absolute best
bench jockey I had ever seen.
Normally, it would be players who traded barbs with the opposing
players or hurled barbs at the team's pitcher. Not Zuber. As far as he was concerned, baseball was
mental warfare, and there was nothing off limits. Over the course of a game, he would work
himself into a real frenzy, almost in a scary kind of way. "Hey meat, you
know everyone's watching you so don't
stare in this dugout!" he would shout as a visiting batter would step
into the box. Then it would really
get good. "What's it gonna be? Fastball? Curve? Change-up? I
don't know….fastball, curve, changeup!
I don't know!" This
would go all game long, and he'd get louder and louder. Zube was a classic.
- Darryl
Strawberry, Giants Outfielder–One
of the nicest guys I have ever met in sports, Strawberry had just returned
from a drug rehab stint and seemed to be finally getting his life back in
order. He joined the Giants in
mid-season and I asked his old PR director, the Mets' Jay Horwitz, what kind of guy he was. I still remember Jay's response, "Darryl
is a real sweetheart. Not a bad bone
in his body. He wants to please
everybody." How true those words
were. As we tried to manage his
media exposure during this recovery period as he tried to reestablish his
baseball career, we told him we would have a full-blown, ask-anything
media conference at Candlestick Park when he arrived, then we would limit
media access to only post-game interviews about baseball and nothing
else. Everything seemed to go well
for a few weeks, but I spoke to Darryl just prior to our Mets series in New York. I told him that it was really important
that he stick to our policy and not do any pre-game interviews, because if
he did, then all bets would be off and it would be open season by the New York
writers. Straw assured me he would
follow our instructions. Then the
first day at Shea Stadium, I arrive about four hours before the game,
anticipating there might be a crowd that would gather at Darryl's
locker. Well, as soon as I step foot inside the visitors'
clubhouse, there's Steve Serby, the Post's veteran columnist,
notebook in hand and holding an animated conversation with the former
Mets' superstar. I politely
interrupted the two of them and pulled Darryl aside. "Darryl, what are you doing? Didn't we agree that you wouldn't do any
pre-game interviews?" Shaking his
head sheepishly, he said, "Hey man, I'm sorry. It's just that I've known Steve a long
time and didn't want to hurt his feelings."
- Ken Margerum,
Stanford All-American–On the other
end of those majestic John Elway passes, Margerum was one of the greatest wide receivers in
Stanford history. And much like
Braden, he was one of the greatest free spirits I ever publicized. Sharing an upstairs' quarters in a
dilapidated house at the campus track with classmate Ivan Maisel, who would go on to Sports Illustrated and ESPN fame, Margerum was equally known
for his adventuresome spirit.
Probably one of the first-ever wind surfers in American history,
Kenny used to drive head football coach Paul Wiggin nuts by deciding it was safe to wind surf under
the Bay Bridge while San Francisco gusts of wind would reach 30 or 40
MPH. And while Stanford is known
for churning out fine student-athletes, Margerum was a category unto
himself. He was the first Stanford
student-teacher-athlete, as he
was the university's first windsurfing instructor. In a rare flash of genius, I pitched his
windsurfing story to the Boston
Globe when Stanford visiting Boston College one season and can
honestly say, I remain the only PR guy to score a photo of an All-American
football player gliding along Lake Laquinitas on a surfboard in a major
national newspaper!
Tomorrow, in the Clubhouse Confidential, we'll return with numbers 6-10, so check back in!

Shaw improved to 10-2 while Coffeeville fell to 7-7 to finish the season.
Shaw's offense came out in the first quarter as low as four flat tires, but it was the Hawks' defense that breathed air into those tires to get the team rolling as it carried the team to start the game.
"Our defense played a great football game and did what they needed to do to keep Coffeeville at bay until we got our stuff together on offense," said Hawks head coach Kendrick Smith.
Smith added, "One reason I think we came out so flat was that we started the game with a freshman quarterback because we didn't want to play Andre (Pruitt) because he had sat out all week at practice because of an injury.
"When we had to put Dre (Pruitt) in the game he was rusty, but eventually everything calmed down and we started to move the ball."
Before the kickoff started things got off on the wrong foot as coaches were informed that the game clock was not operational, and the time would have to be kept on the field by the officials.
That proved to be a bad omen for the Hawks because right out the of gate, Coffeeville received the kickoff and brought the ball out to the 41-yard line. The Hawks' defense, however, held up and forced the Pirates to punt.
On Shaw's first possession, Christopher Harthone fumbled, but recovered the ball. The drive did not muster any more yards, and Shaw had to punt.
On the punt, the Pirates broke through the protection and got a hand on the ball, which resulted in a short punt for the Hawks.
Once again, the Hawks' defense held serve and the Pirates punted again. On the punt, Shaw's Keveon Shepherd muffed the ball and Coffeeville recovered deep in Hawks territory.
The Hawks' defense was on its game and held the Pirates to a 37-yard field goal try that fell just inches short of the goal post.
In the second quarter, things continued to look bad for the Hawks as Coffeeville's Demarcus Neal intercepted Pruitt's pass. That good news for the Pirates lasted for one play, because on their first possession Shaw's Jasprell Dillard forced a fumble and recovered it to give the ball back to the Hawks' offense.
Business started to pick up for the Hawks after that play as Shaw broke the stalemate when Lekia McCoy scampered for an 83-yard touchdown run with about 6:30 remaining in the second quarter. Shaw missed the point after try, but led 6-0.
Following another punt from Coffeeville, Shaw added more points as Pruitt, who had not completed a pass at this point in the game, connected with Damon Redding for a 47-yard touchdown pass. Harthone added the 2-point conversion for a 14-0 Hawks lead, which would remain the score going into the locker room at halftime.
In the third quarter, things looked up with the score clock back operational and the Hawks in their groove on both sides of the ball.
The third quarter proved to be a defensive battle though with Shaw being the only team to come close to getting points on a 35-yard field goal attempt that missed-left of the goal post.
In the fourth quarter, Shaw's Justin King picked things up as he rumbled his way to a 35-yard touchdown run, carrying a Coffeeville defender with him on the ride. Redding added the 2-point conversion for a 22-0 Hawks lead with 7:29 left in the game.
The Pirates managed to get on the scoreboard on the next drive as Antavius Moody scored from six yards out with 4:04 remaining in the fourth. The 2-point conversion failed for a 22-6 ball game.
The Hawks responded with a 45-yard touchdown pass from Pruitt to Keveon Shepherd with 2:21 remaining in the game. The 2-point conversion failed, but that score was the final nail in the coffin as Shaw walked away with a 28-6 victory.
Pruitt led the Hawks offensively by completing 4-of-9 passes for 109 yards with two TD passes and an interception. McRoy rushed for 95 yards on three carries with a TD to lead the ground game, followed by King with 76 yards and a TD on nine carries and Harthone with 55 yards on 16 carries.
Shepherd caught three passes for 62 yards and a TD, and Redding had one catch for 47 yards and a TD to lead all Shaw receivers.
Lerandal Allen led the Hawks defense with 17 tackles, followed by King with 10 tackles, Dillard with nine tackles and a fumble recovery, Harthone with eight tackles, Ledavious Rice with six tackles and Justin Clay with a sack.
Shaw will now travel to French Camp this Friday in the 1A North Half Championship game. French Camp defeated St. Joe 31-18 to advance. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

I'm looking for a 16g USB stick. My last one was a whopping 1g, which doesn't seem to cut it today. There are thousands out there, not to mention the no-name versions. I'd like something sturdy, that I can just throw into my bag or a pocket. Preferably compact with a cap or slider. These devices seem to have become a staple item for trading data. What do people recommend? asked Sep 08 '11 at 08:43 petter |
I've been really satisfied with the Sandisk Cruzer that I picked up at Costco for around $20. It comes with 100 free digital prints, which is actually great since I really like Costco's photo department. There are more gadgety USB sticks, but this one is solid, doesn't have the cap to lose (it slides into its own case), and comes from a reputable company. If you're looking for something that you'll always have on you, check out the Lacie iamaKey which is a bit more expensive but has the added bonus of easily slipping on your keychain. linkanswered Sep 08 '11 at 09:54 oliver |

Vehicle Sales Tax Questions
pefred Posts: 1In 2012, the GA Legislature passed a bill, a part of which eliminated a really great part that stated that, and I paraphrase here, "people who buy used cars from individuals do not have to pay sales tax". The new law treats individual and dealer purchases the same. However, although the law was effective on 01/01/13, portions of the law don't go into effect until 03/01/13. However, I have not been able to figure out if the individual used car sales tax portion went into effect on January 1, or goes into effect on March 1.
So, here's my question for anybody who knows the new law. I'm planning on selling one of my cars between now January 7 and March 1 on AutoTrader as an individual. If I sell the care prior to 03/01/13, does the buyer have to pay any sales tax. Any help would be appreciated. -
cp9974 Posts: 1I have searched the web extensively and these forums but I can't find a definitive answer regarding purchasing in AZ as an out-of-state resident driving it back to my MN where I reside. I have actually read conflicting things about AZ in particular.
The dealership quoted me with a city tax.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks. -

embroidthis Posts: 1I took over a lease from an individual in Orth Carolina , I live in Illinois , went to get plates today and the DMV said I had to pay sales tax on the original purchas price even though there is only 9months left on the original 36 month lease. So I would be paying $2600.00 so I can drive for 9months . Seem to be a very unjust law. My question is since this is least to my company can I register it in nearby Wisconsin where they appear to understand what a lease is and how they work. What is the legal penalties for doing so, if the fine is less than the tax, I'm thinking of doing it that way.

The sunshine peeked out through the dark billowing clouds to shine down on Cinderella Castle. Emerging from the top balcony was Tinker Bell, clothed in an unusual black dress that glittered in the light like a pinch of pixiedust. She glanced anxiously, noting a colorless moat and landscape. A single tear slid silently down her pale cheek. What dark magic is at work? Lagoon and landscape: all in grayscale!
With urgency, Tink knew what she had to do. Silently, her wings began to flutter and she rose up towards Tomorrowland.
"Buzz!" she called, "Where are you?"
Poking his head out from behind a gray trashcan, he replied, "You, my friend, are destined to infinity and far beyond!"
Tink looked quizzically at the space-ranger, who was also looking curiously at the disguised figure standing behind her, hooded in black.
"Dopey? Is that you?" she called. But no, it's Grumpy that's been hiding in the dark cloak.
Have you seen the Mayor of Toontown? She is missing and I need some help because Space Mountain is acting strangely. I think Captain Jack has some pirate friends on the ride testing it's new safety. The malfunction seems it only happens after grinning ghosts came out to socialize. Next they ran to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority to see if they could find Mickey and Minnie.

Let's pick John Axford's new closer music
milwaukee brewers March 21st, 2011
I've been following the voting for John Axford's 2011 closer music closely now for a couple of weeks and now it is down to the final four. Each choice offers its owns benefits and each choice has its drawbacks, but they are all decent. The thing is that this is a really important decision. John Axford is 28 years old and if all goes well he could end up being the Brewers closer for the next 5-10 years. We could be stuck with this song for a long, long time. That's why it's important that we choose it ourselves and because I did such a good job when I personally selected Todd Coffey's entrance music, you should do what I say because I know my stuff.
What we should be looking for is a song that won't get old, but also a song that builds us up to a point where we want to scream our brains out. Something that gets the adrenaline pumping for the final three outs so we can get the win and go drink some more. That's what it's all about. Now, let's see what we're working with.

Freestyle Problems-Lawsuit Filed in May
how_reb Posts: 3I was wondering if there are others here in Ohio having the same issues that everyone else seems to have with their Freestyles so maybe we could start a lawsuit as well. I have a 2005 Freestyle and it surges, shifts hard and idles high. I owe as much on the car as it would cost to replace the transmission so that's really out of the question. We bought this car because of the space and like others have said.... I'm afraid to drive it. We don't have the money to fix it and we can't trade it in either so we're stuck! If enough people complain(call Ford directly) maybe we can get them to fix the cars or reimburse owners.
jnpky Posts: 1I live in Ohio and and had to take my 06 Freestyle into the shop because it broke down on the highway yesterday. Had to have it towed to the shop and it is the throttle body.
When I called Ford, they didn't want to say much. I am hoping that since there are so many class action suits going on and word of mouth that is degrading the company that it will become a recall issue. This same thing happened with Toyota.
If you get it fixed, go to a Ford dealership because if it does become a recall, then you will get reimbursed. Just hang onto your receipt.
how_reb Posts: 3I had the throttle body cleanned and that seemed to help but my other issue turned out to be the top motor mount, it was broken(so the engine moved making it feel like the transmission) I didn't take it to a dealership to be fixed because it would have cost me a fortune. I do have a cousin that works at the dealership so I did get the part @ his cost and he charged me $30 to change it. I just won't ever buy another Ford
cmarsicano Posts: 2How do i get in the lawsuit. I have 3 payments left on my 2006 ford freestyle and the the tranmission just went (crt transmission) I only have 61032 miles on it. I was excited that there were gonna be no more payments. Just a used one cost 2300. I need a new pump and torque converter. I wonder what that will cost me. Please someone respond to me and give the link to sing up. thanks, chris
dansa2 Posts: 26
josie78 Posts: 11Good for you....the more complaints the better, although I'm not sure how far it will get us. I also notified the Ford Motor Company. Didn't seem to matter with either one that we came close to running over people in the parking lot! If we all keep the complaints going maybe they'll do something...I wouldn't mind having a $1000.00 refund! Mmmm, maybe I'll just keep sending e-mails to both!
Good luck....keep us all posted! -
jbalogh Posts: 3I just bought a used 2005 Freestyle. I knew about the transmission & brake failures but not the lunging. I was just wondering if I should I return it to the dealer and run as far from it as possible? Or keep it and hope it is OK? I was recently rear ended in a bad accident and do not want to inflict any pain on anyone, especially when I am picking up my kids at school.
josie78 Posts: 11Hello. might be a good idea to question the dealer, making copies of the complaints you've read on Edmunds. We have a '06 and didn't have a problem until 2010 when it lunged in a parking lot nearly hitting a few people! Also, question the Ford Motor Company. The more enquiries the better it helps the situation. I just keep on bugging the NHTSA (hope I have that correct) and the Ford Motor Company.
jbalogh Posts: 3Thanks for that advice. I've been losing sleep over this! I will call and ask the dealer this morning. I actually bought it at a Toyota dealership, but they should have the record of the work they did to get it resaleable. The carfax is clean - one owner, no other recalls, low miles, but apparently that doesn't matter with this problem. I will still question the NHTSA and Ford, seeing as how dangerous this is.
rlbaty Posts: 1Before I ask about my latest 2005 Freestyle problem, I thought I would give a little testimonial regarding the "surge" problem. I read about it elsewhere and the simple $5.00 cure seemed to work. That is, I took the throttle body off and used some carburetor/throttle body cleaner on it and it seemed to have cured the problem. Less than an hour for someone with basic skills like me. Maybe I'll find out for sure next Spring when we start using the air conditioner more often.
Now, to my latest problem. I noticed some leaking towards the front of the car and at first couldn't figure out where the few drops were coming from.
My wife just drove in the garage from a short trip and I looked while it was hot and most likely to be traceable. It appears to be coming from the front, lower motor mount.
Anybody have any experience with that? -
josie78 Posts: 11I wish all owners of Freestyles would continue contacting Ford Motor Company and NHTSA if they have/had a lunging problem. It bugs me to no end when I see Toyota, etc. recalled but NHTSA doesn't give a hoot or a hollar about the Freestyle. Can't help but wonder if Ford Motor Company paid them off. Nothing would surprise me.
how_reb Posts: 3I got a letter today from Ford Motor Company(after many complaint emails and phone calls) stating that my warrenty has been extended so that I can get the throttle body fixed! If I had paid to have it fixed already then I can get a refund!!! If you have not had any luck.....keep on them!
cherylwps Posts: 1Own a 2006 Freestyle for 6 years and have 165,000 that's the good news bad news car rpm revs one day while passing then dies out. Told this is a catalytic converter problem was wondering if this is related to the warranty extension we just received from Ford regarding rpm lunging. Have others experienced similar problems. Would like to fix but black value of running freestyle maybe less than cost to repair.
dibbz Posts: 4I purchased a 07 freestyle in 2011. My transmission went in September of 2011. It was fixed by the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. July of 2012 the transmission has gone again. Mind you the company that made this specific CVT Transmission is no longer in business. I am pissed off that a vehicle I purchased less than 2 years a go is a LEMON. I contacted Ford Motor Company but they can care less about me cause they already got my money. As I write this message the vehicle sits in my garage, while I'm still making car note and car insurance payments on a vehicle that I haven't driven since June of 2012. When I call the Ford dealership near my home they say the estimation to get my truck fixed is about 7000 and the parts are on back order. I'm a single mother and can't afford this headache. I am open to any and all suggestions. Please Help!
josie78 Posts: 11Please....notify the NHTSA and Ford Motor Company REPEATEDLY. Perseverance does pay off, believe me! After a year of complaining I, and other Freestyle owners, finally got a response to our lunging problem. I, and I believe others, received a letter from Ford.....we are being reimbursed for the cost to have our Freestyle repaired. Our Ford dealer called Friday to tell us our check was in the mail. Again, DON'T GIVE UP....KEEP NOTIFYING BOTH!!! Good luck!
monay2 Posts: 1I understand and feel your pain. I'm also a single parent who is paying for a vehicle I can't drive. I'm still paying the note on it and insurance. my car has been sitting since May 2012. I've had my Ford checked inside out and upside down. They told me that they couldn't tell what the problem was. Several times while driving my car stopped in ongoing traffic. This scared me soooo bad, especially when my then one year old god daughter was in the car and there were several cars behind us. I was lucky I was turning on a side street and was about to coast to an opened parking spot. I would like to know if there is an lawsuit in place. Please, please, please helppppppp. :lemon:
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,394The "complaint" site at the NHTSA is called safercar.gov. They've kind of buried the link from the NHTSA main page.

freestylefan Posts: 1I have a 2007 Freestyle. This car is awesome. We love the way the interior seats work. The bucket seats are a plus for my teenage boys. My parents also have a 2007. I have read a lot of the post here hate to see you are having problems.The only thing I have is sometimes a surge. The same with my parents. This has been happening since day 1. Other than normal oil changes at 3,000 miles I had to replace a battery. My Freestlye has over 300,000 miles on it. My parents have 190,000 with no problems. Its no fluke we have had no problems. With regular maintenance they are great. I can only say this forum has only a few people who have a Freestyle and are not happy. However there are thousands of us that cruise right along. Remember you are a small few. Good luck, Rock on Freestyle!!!!!
josie78 Posts: 11This surge is a problem, believe me. We nearly ran over people in the parking lot at our local restaurant. I'm surprised you haven't received a letter form the Ford Motor Company. This issue can be resolved at your local Ford Dealer. I urge you to either ask your local dealer or the Ford Motor Company!
penguin61 Posts: 5Hi I took my car into ford dealer in napa where I bought my car for throttle body issue..they keept car when I went. To pick up the car I looked at invoice all they did was clean throttle body. When I inquired and let them know I wasnt happy I thought they were replacing it....they then gave me a copy if recall it states that you can only have it repaired once. .that was my once I dont consider a cleaning a fix just. A mask...so if you take in your car make sure it is more than a cleaning....just a fyi to #71. I like my car too but am upset how I bought it unknowingly with cracked motor mount which warranty didnt cover ...was lied too and throttle body problem. But all I all for my needs I love the car and my family has always been ford fans until now....

Yes, day to day operations are run independently, but at the of the day the subsidiary is still the subsidiary and acts in the best interest of the parent. Everyone knows negotiating with yourself is a side show. It is not arm's length and the substance will always over-rule for the form chosen.
I respectfully disagree. When you have MFNs and such with these contracts and negotiations, D* will pay for programming from Root the same as any other provider. That way my point earlier. Fox would charge D* every bit the amount they charged Dish, Cox or anyone else even when Newscorp owned D* and Fox. Contracts are contracts.


text: Ok, so I have one of these going, but I have few people working n it, it's been over a month since the last update. I decided to start this new fan-fic, all about what happens to Lilly after you ditch her on the road. This is not a "I write a part, someone else writes a part" fan-fic, as I'm doing all the writing, so there's no waiting involved when I just wrote, and nobody else can, I only have to work off my clock. HOWEVER, I do want reader interactivity, so after each part, I'll leave a decision, and which ever one gets the most votes (to vote, leave a comment, I'll tally them up, and whichever one gets the most votes is canon. These will be major, game-changing decisions, so please leave your input. This idea was stolen from "saving grace" the story of Christa and Clem in those 16 months between Omid dying and the start of all that remains. Go check it out, it's amazing, probably much better than this, as it's growing in popularity (and deserves it.) Part 1 should be up in a bit, so be ready to vote!

WoW Archivist: WoW in China, an uncensored history -- part 2
In China, few Western games have been more embraced than World of Warcraft. But few games have endured more scrutiny from the government and more interruptions. As WoW Archivist covered two weeks ago, Chinese players have put up with censorship, endless waits for expansions, and intense bureaucratic meddling that shut the servers down for months. But their enthusiasm for the game remains.
Today, we will look at the more recent years of WoW in China, the raiding scene there, and the game's impact on popular culture, including a certain infamous theme park...
Too soon, Executus
After sorting out issues with the Ministry of Culture and GAPP (General Administration of Press and Publications), WoW operator NetEase was on a roll. Though Cataclysm also faced delays, it launched in China on July 12, 2011 -- just half a year after the Western release. By the standards of prior expansions in China, this release was practically instantaneous.
In a bitter irony, however, the expansion actually arrived too soon.

Very nice dress
It is a very pretty dress, I m an Asian , 5"3 113lbs, small fit me very good. Love it!
January 15, 2013
I love this dress! I wore to a wedding reception and received so many compliments. It shows beautifully in photos. I agree with the previous review, it will get stuck to bracelets and at one point me and another sequined woman got stuck together while dancing with eachother! Be careful of snags, but nevertheless, I would buy this dress again. It was very appropriate.

Charming Dress
I LOveeee this dress, the cut is very feminine, the color is awesome,it fits true to size Small, I'm 5'8" 138lbs. The only bad things is that you need to be very careful w the dress, you can't wear any jewelry on your hands because it can get stuck on the dress.
November 26, 2012
Thank You bebe!!!
Finally! A shimmering and sexy holiday dress for brunettes (chocolate)...! So sick of all the dresses in the same old tacky and old fashioned gold color. This dress fits true to size, I'm 5'4-5'5 125 39D-26-39 and I got the XS, its not really short but hugs and highlights curves. If your not into a form fitting dress, I would have gone up a size. It doesn't ride up like I thought it would. I don't think it's made that well, that's its only flaw. Several of the sequins fell off in transit from the mall to my home. I noticed they were delicate to begin with. I do give props to the company for FINALLY employing an athletically built model with a real booty and shapely legs and thighs. I believe there is a large block of Bebe customers that are like me...athletic but feminine. Bravo. Change is good and its usually the curvier body types that wear your dresses better anyways. Needed to be said lol

It's been a little while since Major League Baseball's labor deal was finalized, but I've been grinning about it pretty much ever since (hey, the stuffing probably helped with the grin too). Today, with all the NBA stuff, I got to thinking about it again. This labor deal pretty much guarantees peace and justice- that is, uninterrupted labor- for five more years which is, of course, perfectly fabulous.
There are also things like more HGH testing, more instant replay, more wild cards, more flying pigs, more playoffs, more All Star Game and more international drafting. Plus better helmets which are ever so slightly silly looking, but hopefully safer. Insert Rawlings plug here. (Hint: one fallacy in that list, by the way, while everything else is correct. Can you spot it?)
Let's take it bit by bit:
I am all for more HGH testing although the word is that their strategy is flawed at best, which I don't doubt. Still, it is, perhaps, a move in the right direction.
I am all for more instant replay, as long as they design some fantastic, innovation way of doing it fast. I am not willing to sit around an extra 45 minutes for instant replay like we inevitably end up doing currently.
I am torn on more All Star Game stuff. Making the players play it, that is. I understand the intent and basically agree with it, but I have to wonder if maybe some better singers to do the National Anthem or something would be more effective. Suckering the players into doing something they don't want to won't make it more fun. Making it more fun will, you know? Selig et al. need some lessons in throwing a party.
I am intrigued by the international draft idea. I haven't read up on it extensively, so there may be problems I'm not foreseeing, but it seems like it would be good. Real good.
I am against all the extra wildcards and expanded playoffs. I am getting all sleepy just thinking about it. Surely we have enough wildcards and playoffs. And if they want to do something about the wildcards, maybe they could get on the whole making-it-actually-wild deal? You think?
In other news, the Giants are severely delusional as to their importance in the cycle of the world and the planets. As Willy Wonka would say, "Nobody cares!" Actually, I think he said, "I don't care!" but we can just universalize it, right? Right.

According to Bolivar County Sheriff Kelvin Williams, the incident began when Bingham and a crew of suspects were allegedly caught breaking into vehicles at Faurecia Automotive Seating on Delta Council Road on the outskirts of Cleveland.
Bingham and six suspects fled the scene and were later apprehended by a deputy on a back road east of U.S. Highway 61 just north of Cleveland and Mom's Truck Stop.
Bingham allegedly resisted arrest and was thought to have a weapon in his hand when the deputy shot him.
Bolivar County Coroner Dr. Nate Brown said Bingham was pronounced dead on the scene.
The sheriff's department arrested the six suspects who were each charged with three counts of felony auto burglary.
They appeared at the Bolivar County Justice Court this morning for an initial appearance.
The six suspects are: Coderick Davis, 21, from Shelby; Charles Jones, 21, from Shelby; Dequon Sims, 19, from Shelby; Darious Britt, 20, from Alligator; Jaterrian Wren, 19, from Shelby; and Jimmy Lofton Jr., 25, from Duncan.
Because the case involves a shooting by a sheriff's deputy, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations takes charge of the investigation.
Warren Strain, public affairs director for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, said the investigation is ongoing and he could not go into specific details.
"We can confirm the incident involves the Bolivar County Sheriff's department," said Strain. "An autopsy has been scheduled for Bingham's body."
Strain would not release the name of the deputy involved at presstime.
Brown added the officer was likely acting in self-defense.
The Bolivar Commercial will continue to report on the incident as more information becomes available.

In fact, they went the wrong way fast as they dropped the District 2-A contest 57-36 on Dec. 7 in Greenville.
Tuesday night was a different story for the Colts as they came out with a different game plan and executed it to perfection as they dismantled the Saints 50-23.
With the win, the Colts improved to 15-2 with an 8-1 mark in the district.
"We have been getting better all year. The last time we played them we came out in a man-to-man defense and they beat us. Tonight we played our 3-2 Zone, which allowed us to cover them well. We were able to take away the corners and keep them in front of us. We limited them to tough shots, and we worked hard all night," said Bayou head coach Winn Scott.
The victory over Greenville Christian put Bayou in first place in the district.
The Colts' defense was evident on the scoreboard as they held the Saints to just three points in the first quarter. Bayou led Greenville Christian 12-3 after the first quarter.
The Colts defense was so in sync that it held the Saints scoreless for a little over 13-minutes of the game. Greenville scored with 6:57 on the clock in the first quarter and did not score again until 1:11 left in the second quarter.
The Colts opened the second quarter on fire as Grey Clark, Michael Portner and Chantz Arbuckle each scored baskets to spark a 9-0 run to open a 21-3 lead with 4:31 left in the first half.
A put back from Caleb Pilgrim and a layup from Portner gave Bayou a 25-3 lead before Greenville knocked down a three-point basket before the half to send both teams into the locker room with the Colts leading 25-3.
"We wanted to come out and set the tone," Scott said. "The last time we played them they got off to a really fast start. I thought we did a good job of crashing the boards and limiting them to just one shot."
In the second half, the Colts continued their dominance outscoring the Saints 14-9 as they took a 39-15 lead into the fourth quarter.
In the fourth, Tyler Kitchings started things off with a quick basket for a 41-15 game. Pilgrim followed with a basket and Kitchings came back with two free throws for a 45-15 lead, before Scott put the reserves in to close out the game.
Portner led the Colts with 14 points, followed by Pilgrim with 13 points and 11 rebounds, Kitchings with seven points and six rebounds, Grey Clark with eight points and Peyton Aldridge with six points.
The Colts will be back in action Thursday when they travel to Tunica to play Tunica Academy.

The $4 million capital campaign for the purchase of movable furniture and equipment provides another opportunity where individuals, businesses and organizations may be acknowledged for their contributions. Naming a room, or item of equipment as a Memorial has long been a tradition in our nation's hospitals—the place to pay honor to a relative, to the cherished memory of a friend, or to the founders/owners of a corporation.
Recognition plaques will be permanently placed in the vestibule of the main entrance for individuals donating amounts of $1,000 or more. Names of all contributors of $10,000 or more will be inscribed on a prominently located Master Plaque in the main lobby.
All gifts, regardless of form, are tax deductible under existing federal and state laws, within specific limitations. Gifts of cash, securities, real estate, ie. insurance, commodities and other forms of real property are encouraged.
On October 3, 2008, the President signed the Charitable IRA legislation. This charitable option allows donors ages 70 or older to move $100,000 per year from their IRA directly to an eligible charity without having to pay income taxes on the money. To ensure maximum tax advantage, donors should consult with their legal/financial advisors on the type of gift and method of payment
Provisions have been made where donors may join together in memorializing a unit. Plaques will reflect the desire of those memorial contributors. Memorial opportunities have been enumerated for your consideration. Please review the following list for a selection of your choice.
As the major provider of healthcare services in the area, LVMC continues to be a vital health resource for the citizens of the Lompoc Valley.
In 2005 the LVMC Board of Directors, faced with state mandated seismic retrofit requirements, decided the community would be better served by building a new modern facility rather than retrofit the current 67-year-old building. Subsequently, on September 13, 2005, voters in the district passed a $75 million bond measure with a state record of 87% voter approval. Construction on the new 60-bed hospital began shortly after Measure E passed.
This new hospital is under construction and currently scheduled to start accepting patients in March 2010. The hospital's forward-thinking designers have incorporated evidenced-based-design techniques that assures the facility will be one of the best healthcare facilities on the Central Coast.
The Lompoc Hospital Foundation has begun an ambitious capital campaign for the new facility since none of the $75 million bond proceeds can be used to purchase movable furniture and/or equipment. The current budget to acquire state-of-the-art furniture and equipment for our new hospital is $4 million, and the Lompoc Hospital Foundation has already contributed $1 million of this amount.
We are looking to members of the community, organizations, and grant opportunities to raise the balance of $3 million.
We assure you that 100% of all donations will go directly to the fund for the purchase of furniture and equipment. Because The Foundation is staffed primarily with volunteers, we have virtually no overhead expenses. Any costs for mailing or printing of material for the campaign will not be paid out the donations made to the Capital Campaign. Memorial payments may be extended over a five-year period.
Currently, inadequate reimbursement from the Medicare and MediCal programs, inflation and increasing uncompensated charity care are contributing to negative operating margins for the majority of our nation's hospitals. This places tremendous pressure on all hospitals to assure their community residents have access to state-of-the-art capital improvements.
Obviously it will take substantial capital—beyond patient revenues—to provide for the future. All hospitals are facing substantial financial challenges and LVMC is no different.
The Medicare program (the federal government's coverage plan for the disabled and the population over 65 years) is not covering the costs of care provided. For every dollar billed to Medicare, LVMC receives approximately 50 cents. This is not sufficient to cover LVMC's costs. For every dollar billed to MediCal (the state's coverage plan for the poor and some who do not have insurance) LVMC receives 24 cents. Again, this is substantially less than the cost to provide quality healthcare services. To these factors is added over $2 million of uncompensated care and uncollectible accounts per year. LVMC receives only 1% of its revenue in tax dollars.
As LVMC faces the financial challenges of the next decade, philanthropic support as a source of supplement income will be vital for our new hospital.
Lompoc Healthcare District, now known as Lompoc Valley Medical Center (LVMC) includes a 60-bed acute hospital and a 110-bed Convalescent Care Center. Together these facilities supply a vast array of high-quality inpatient, outpatient skilled care, long-term care, health promotion and health maintenance programs for district residents.
LVMC is the sole provider of 24-hour emergency services, the only acute hospital and one of two long-term care facilities serving the Lompoc Valley. Approximately 98% of LVMC patients live in the City of Lompoc and the immediate surrounding communities of Mesa Oaks, Mission Hills, Vandenberg Village, and Vandenberg Air Force Base.
LVMC is fully licensed by the California Department of Health Services and accredited by The Joint Commission. The diagnostic imaging department is also accredited by the American College of Radiology.
The medical staff, including consulting and courtesy staff members, is comprised of 87 highly qualified, licensed physicians.
LVMC is a provider of vitally needed healthcare services and a major employer in the area, thus directly benefiting the local economy. More than 500 people are employed at LVMC and the salaries and benefits of staff exceed $15 million per year.

Achat HM et al. – Large jumps in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children observed from the 1980s appear to be diminishing, with comparable prevalence reports in 2004 and 2007. Ethnicity and socio–economic status (SES) are each independently associated with the prevalence of unhealthy weight in children.
Methods- A cross-sectional population-based survey of 2341 children in Years 4 and 7 (mean ages 9 and 12 years, respectively) in 2007.
- Nineteen per cent of children were overweight and a further 6% were obese.
- The prevalence of combined overweight and obesity was similar for boys and girls (26% vs. 24%, P= 0.35).
- SES was significantly associated with the prevalence of unhealthy weight: the odds of being overweight or obese were 1.79 times (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.35 to 2.36) higher for children from the lowest quartile than for children from the highest quartile.
- Compared to children from an English speaking background, children from a non-English speaking background were significantly more likely to be overweight or obese (21% vs. 31%, P < 0.001).
- The prevalence of combined overweight and obesity was significantly higher for children from a Pacific Island (odds ratio (OR) 2.66, 95% CI 1.63 to 4.33), Middle Eastern (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.17) or European (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.49) background than for English speaking background children.

MCM's Bogart Collection is in the spotlight this week - the ideal piece for every urban nomad who has a special sense for refinery, timeless style and elegance. Designed with an eye for European trends, let's explore how this minimalistic treasure matches the styles in a sophisticated metropolis such as Zurich:
As the largest city in Switzerland, we are head over heels into this stylish jet-set destination!
When it comes to this beautiful pearl in Switzerland, we typically think of old clocks, traditional costumes and craftsmanship. A nice but pretty quiet city in the middle of an unspoiled countryside.... right? Not quite! Zurich is a leading global city and among the world's largest financial centres. The city is home to a large number of financial institutions and banking giants. Also, most of the research and development centres are concentrated in Zurich!
It's the place to be: Zurich's an international and inspiring locale where businessmen meet in "the city with the best quality of life in the world as well as the wealthiest city in Europe".
When it comes to our S/S 2013 Bogart Collection this MCM fits perfectly to this business-orientated scene and this centre of lux. Let's take a look at some of the extraordinary trends on the street in this hustle-bustle metropolis and see where our Bogart might be the matching style companion to complete the look!
Bogart & the Easy Going-Look!
Behind this businessman there's another style outside of the office: a cool-meets-casual look! I really like the combination of different blue tones and the love for details. Our silver Bogart bag fits perfectly to these colours. Don't you think?
Bogart Meets the Hip Businessman:
Always on-the-go and sporty at the same time- here Bogart finds himself amongst different tones of blue and an elegant brown slipper. What a nice dream team! Enjoying the life to the fullest - this is Zurich.
Bogart gets Inspired by Nature!
Could be Berlin, right? The cool elegance and the sense for more timeless chic flavour is actually Zurich. This outfit is inspired by Zurich's beautiful countryside - by nature and the different shades of those amazing lakes. A really nice combination, wouldn't you say?
Bogart Gets A Colourful Makeover!
Inspired by nature, this guy loves to keep it colourful but traditional. Although this is a Navajo-inspired jacket, the intention is clear: Back to the roots in a nature loving city! The raw denim and red trainers cater to just the right urban mood.
Hope you got style-inspired with Bogart <3

So you all remember that time I carried that sign to the Giants-Brewers game, yes? Yes. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Updated:
Bear with my awkward photoshopping. I didn't have any coffee until 6 this evening and it was sort of cold and watery. I'm not in any state to edit photos.
Also, welcome back, Ramon Ramirez! While the Giants have figured out how to make off with absolutely everyone from the Angel Pagan-Andres Torres-Ramon Ramirez trade, the Mets are, uh, getting a casino. (Incidentally, where does one get a casino? Can I get one? Like, for my living room?) At least they live in New Yor—haha, but it's Queens. So it doesn't count. Sorry, guys. Rough times.

When Jesus prayed, he found a sense of sacred oneness, when Buddha meditated, he became awake to deeper levels of awareness. No one truly knows the effectiveness of prayer, but one thing is for sure- when we take the time to be still, to slow down, to go inward, we almost always discover something about ourselves and the potential awareness that we are not alone.

We are here to give because of the abundance God has given us, to share with each other, and to receive, because God has created us to depend on each other.
We are here to celebrate the differences that otherwise might divide us: differences of age, of body, of culture, of opinion, of ability, of religious conviction.
We are here to put things in perspective: to celebrate what matters, to laugh about things we take too seriously, to cry about things that truly touch our hearts.
So may it be this morning: Amen!
In this New Year, let us lift our vision of what we can do and what we can achieve:

letting go of everything but this moment.

from Nazareth to Bethlehem
not knowing what the future holds.

Cheesecake is one thing that makes me swoon. I eat it, slowly, savoring every rich, delicious bite one mouthful at a time. But alas, the calories, the fat - yikes! This makes it only a special occasion type of thing (that and the fact that not just any cheesecake will satisfy my palate). My love of good cheesecake is seconded by my love of ice cream & frozen yogurt. Combining the two to make a delicious dessert - well, that would mean that Blue Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Free Frozen Yogurt would have a lifelong fan.
Blue Bunny - I love the sleek, elliptical shape of the packaging. The frozen yogurt does indeed tasted like cheesecake, and there was just the right amount of strawberry swirl. Every now and then, I tasted a little more iciness than creaminess, but the frozen yogurt was fairly creamy considering it's fat free.
Each 1/2 cup serving of Blue Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake Fat Free Frozen Yogurt provides 100 calories, no fat, 55 mg of sodium (2% DV), 3 grams of protein and 21 grams of carbohydrates which includes 18 grams of sugars (more nutritional information available at the Blue Bunny website).
A 1.75 quart container cost $4.24 at the Walmart Supercenter. For a fat free product, this frozen yogurt has a pretty good texture, and the cheesecake taste satisfies. I also love that it's lower in calories compared to other ice cream. I loved this treat and am inspired to try the other varieties in this frozen yogurt line.

Sight Words Worksheets and Printables
Sight word worksheets get your child to recognize, read, and write tricky words. The term 'sight words' is typically used to describe words that can't be sounded out using standard phonetic rules. Help your child learn about these funny words by using these sight word worksheets. Use these sight word worksheets to build your child's reading and writing vocabulary.
Become a Sight Word Master with these Tips and Tricks
Sight word worksheets are a great resource for young readers and writers. Sight word worksheets make great activities on their own, but there are also tons of great exercises you can do to help your child learn sight words. Try our tips and tricks to make them most of sight word worksheets:
- Print out a set of sight word flash cards. Use the flash cards as a way to review sight words with your child when you're reading a book together. Skim through the book on your own to look for sight words. Pick out three words, and get their matching flash cards. Before you read the book, show your child the flash cards and read them with him. Give your child the flash cards, then begin reading the book. If your child hears or reads a sight word, he can hold up the flash card. At the end of the story, review the flash cards with your child.
- After your child has completed a sight word worksheet, go on a sight word hunt! Give your child a book or newspaper and see if he can find the worksheet's sight word in the text. For an extra bonus, challenge your child to find the sight word in three different spots, or have him read the sentence that contains the sight word.
- Keep a sight word list with your child. Each time your child learns five new sight words, challenge him to write a paragraph using all of the words. If he can complete the paragraph, give him a prize! Books make wonderful prizes for this challenge, and kids might also like other reading-related prizes, such as bookmarks or children's magazines
