He's BIG, BEEFY, and BLOND, the kind of stud you want in your bed during cold nights

So The Paperboy comes out later this month, and it's already leaked. Naturally the pervy people of Tumblr have already gifed the hot parts. lol
The movie itself actually doesn't look that bad. So I think I'll pick it up. Worst case scenario I end up watching a terrible movie with Zac in his underwear.
Here's pretty much all of the gifs.
Also, there are some new pictures of him and he looks really good with his new facial for the movie he's doing. Man, I would do so many things to him.....
3rd to last gif is Hott! Beautiful round ass! Nice bulge too.
Hell they're all Hott!
Thanks for posting these! I've got some new material for a while.
His next accomplishment is.....wear a thong in a movie. And show it from every angle.
Wow, still can't believe I'm a new recruit as I was never into him until very recently. Those gifs are great, and it's funny cause some of them look a bit like 70s gay porn.
50+ screencaps of Zac with his white undies in The Paperboy ♥
these gifs are the only reason I really want to see this movie. He is more gorgeous everyday
Perfect angle!
He must me a grower, cause he's not showing much. But still, great bulge shot!
just an amazing pic...
You only live once !
the Zefron outside a porn/novelty store in NYC: (shooting a scene from his latest flick)
"Everyone wants to be adored."
we really couldn't have dreamt that scene much better
Zac Efron surrounded by a bunch of dicks, just another day right zac
dame man....
cant stand that...
gotta go ... have to work on my iron boner... lol
You only live once !
Hottest effing armpits on planet Earth.

News article in South Africa about the photos in the sex shop..... terrible reporting....
Just finished watching The Paperboy, someone needs to give Lee Daniels a hug and some therapy, lol, the man got some issues because after this and Precious, I don't see how he isn't laid up on someone's couch. The movie was dark but I enjoyed it. Zac got acting chops on him and in a few years, he may become a leading man but I think he does these type of movies because it's less pressure for it to be huge hit, same with the Daniel "Harry Potter" and plus you get to work and learn from other well trained actors and you come into your own. He wasn't afraid to walk around at least half of his scenes in his undies and those scenes of him sitting in the car with Nicole, he looked fucking gorgeous. There were also some great shots of him in the pool and one with his face fading into the sunset, the man is built for the camera, lol. Matthew....he is Matthew, he can do some fucked up movies and this is no exception, his character was a lost soul to me who never came into his own and I loved the relationship between Macy Gray (Anita) and Jack (Zac), she did a really great job.
He got that thickness, the kind that make you get up makin' biscuits with breakfast, so gone - Jill Scott - So Gone
i have to say that i like this kind of blue very much... especially on him
You only live once !
i would ruin him
In The Paperboy we finally learn Zac has an ass! And now he's finally wearing jeans that fit! Beautiful.
If this blog doesn't make you cum, I don't know what will.
^ yees ;)
the best valentines cart ever
You only live once !
What an amazing pic! Is that new? The pretty boy sure has turned into a stunningly beautiful man
check this out^^

Post subject: Assorted tips
I remember we used to have a thread a bit like this, but I didn't want to bump it.
Anyhoo, just a thread for little things you've noticed - or been told - over the years that have turned out well ^_^
Something I read a while back that's turned out quite well:
Try to expunge should from your vocabulary when talking to people. Most of the time what people say when they say 'should' is well meant, but it makes things unnecessarily confrontational. You can stick 'might work better' or 'could' or something similar in there and it will tend to be better received.
And something that I was told a while back which is all manner of handy:
When you think someone's said something that your instinct is to take exception to ask them, politely, whether they actually said it,
even if you have no doubt that they did.
Anyhoo, yeah. Be interested to see what little things people have picked up over the years here and there. Even if they seem obvious ^^;

Yeah - when in conversation, hedge. It's polite. When offended, double-check, because you might be misinterpreting. Good points, Nem.
Drive defensively
Talk inclusively
. Along the same lines as Nem's hedging, don't give advice with the 'command you' (You should do this, It's better if you do that). Give an example of a time you had a similar problem, and what you discovered to help (I had that problem, and I learned that if I did X, it was much better. Would that help here?). And shut up if the person doesn't want your help.
Plan redundantly
. Especially for travel. I always try to know at least two different ways of getting where I need to go, and and two sets of directions (one in my head, and at least one on paper). Then I have a backup if something goes wrong. And a contact person!

Picked up from Psychology class: Avoid "This but That" statements.
Example: You're a great student, but your final paper was awful.
The only thing anyone will ever remember/hear is the second half of the sentence.
In other words: don't fluff up bad news or negative things with compliments.
I actually have a bit of the opposite rule in travel, Asa, I try not to plan too much! Not that I'm not saying don't know where you're going, and don't be well prepared. But I am wholeheartedly against list making as far as activities. Because then, if things go wrong, I am disappointed. However, spontaneity makes travel, in my mind. So always leave some room for serendipity!
Or I guess you could just say that when it comes to travel, flexibility and a sense of adventure are the keys to success. ^__^

I know that some of you are not from the US of A and reside in other countries.... Any tips on how not offend people in Europe on accident? Or how to not stick out like an American? Or maybe just some general travel tips? Give me your advice on things that I should and shouldn't do. <--Sorry nem, couldn't think of how to word it without the 'should'

That really depends where you're going in Europe. There's no hard-and-fast rule to avoid offending everyone other than don't be rude
I've found most people are willing to forgive an offense if they know it's not malicious.
General stuff:
Try and learn a few words or phrases in the language of the country you're going to. Even if you don't know much, people will definitely appreciate the effort.
If you're in a city, take care with your belongings. Be aware of where the opening of your bag is, and keep your important stuff (passport, wallet, phone, etc.) in a shoulder bag that you keep glued to your hip.
Be friendly and open. Generally people will be glad to show you the best of where they live.
Enjoy yourself! It will be great fun, no matter what happens.

Learn this sentence: "Do you speak English? I don't know [language]." Memorize it by heart. The ones who do speak English will help you, and the ones who don't won't feel as inadequate.
English as a language places much more emphasis on politeness than other cultures and languages. What this means in practical terms is that you should not be offended if others appear rude or abrupt if you or they are asking for something. This does NOT excuse rude or offensive behavior in general, but be aware that "Could you possibly be so kind as to open the window" is going to be rare, and "Please open the window" might be as well.
Be patient with yourself and others. Don't be embarrassed to stop people on the street and ask for help. Don't be embarrassed to stop
people for help. Ask until you understand.
Have fun!

People are generally friendlier away from capital cities in my experience, and if you make some attempt to speak their language. Keep your valuables somewhere safe, an inside pocket for instance.

Thanks for all the tips! Europe went well. Spent most my time in Spain, so it was easy getting around there. Italy, wasn't so bad...but France, eesh. I had no idea what was going on there.
And yes, I found that the smaller towns had very nice people who just wanted to share everything! I did four days of the Camino de Santiago and everyone I met along the way was sincerely helpful and pleasant.
Also, another good tip I discovered, if you're having an argument with someone over something silly, it's best to just walk away, think about it, and realize it's not a big deal.
I can't remember....oh *le sigh*

Where's the Beef?
July 23, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Sumayyah Meehan, MMNS Middle East Correspondent
They're smothered in cheese, pickles, lettuce tomato, and mayonnaise, and are served on a sesame seed bun. But they're not anything like the traditional all-American hamburger you might be used to. 'Hashi', or baby camel burgers, are the latest food trend to take Saudi Arabia by storm.
The camel is one of the most beneficial animals to residents in the Middle East. The camel has long been 'man's best friend' for time eternal, and was instrumental in helping Islam flourish in the region during the life of the Prophet Muhammad (s), prior and since. Camels are prevalent in the history of Arabia as they have served as a mode of transportation, battle buddies in countless wars, companions, and a source of food whether through the fresh and foaming milk camels provide or as a source of highly nutritious meat. Even the camel hair is cultivated and used in the textile industry as it is woven into fine cashmere, which is made into disdashas, blazers or even blankets.
Camel meat has long been a staple in the Saudi Arabian diet. Camel liver is considered to be a fine specialty food and served in the finest hotels and restaurants from Riyadh to Jeddah. The meat is very light and has a delicate flavor. And it is not as fattening as beef, nor as cholesterol-ridden. However, the older the camel the tougher the meat. That's why baby camels are used for the camel burgers, as the meat is tender.
The camel burgers are the brainchild of three brothers who together own the 'Local Hashi Meals' restaurant in the capital city of Riyadh. In a recent interview, one of the owners said that the new menu item was meant to "invent something new" which would tantalize the taste buds of camel meat connoisseurs. So far, the camel burgers have literally been flying off of the grill as customers are eating up the new sandwiches in record numbers.
The camel burgers have helped to revive the family's business, which had slowed down in recent months due to the global financial crisis. Thanks to the camel burgers, business is now booming. The creators of the camel burger already have plans to expand their business by opening up another branch which could mark the creation of a whole new franchise, in the fledgling 'camburger' industry, that could most definitely be a market leader in the Gulf States.
Camel burgers may seem like a unique food that may or may not be a welcome guest on your dining table. However, there are even more unique and weird foods that are considered to be delicacies in the Middle East. How about a slice of sheep's brain grilled to perfection and tucked into half of a freshly baked pita bread, along with a slice of onion and a squeeze of lemon juice?
Or sheep testicle kebabs grilled on skewers over an open flame until they 'pop'? No matter which foods grace your palate, trying new foods that may seem strange at first is an excellent way to increase your culinary repertoire and experience a new gastronomic adventure.

The Giants are a win away from winning 2012 World Series. And they are having a damn good time, while they're at it.
Too jittery and excited to write much more. But if we're real lucky and we have a parade in San Francisco in a few days, I'd like a little advance notice, because I need to grow a few inches before it takes place. Being short is no fun at parades.
In other news, I am absolutely dressing up as Hunter Pence Crazy Eyes for Halloween. Not sure how I'm going to pull that one off, but it will be fabulous when it comes to pass.

New Bears tight end Martellus Bennett is quite a showman
BY SEAN JENSEN firstname.lastname@example.com March 13, 2013 11:11PM
Article Extras
Updated: March 14, 2013 9:35AM
With Halas Hall under construction, the Bears arranged metal folding chairs in front of a wood podium and blue, sponsor-stamped backdrop on the track inside the Walter Payton Center.
From there, new Bears tight end Martellus Bennett delivered something akin to a colorful comedy set instead of the typical, cliché-heavy news conference.
Bennett noted his enjoyment of Harry Potter (innocent), previewed his children's book (interesting), spelled out what happens when he consumes milk (not pretty because of his lactose intolerance) and explained the root of his most famous nickname, ''Black Unicorn.''
Well, the latter can only come from him.
"Basically, black unicorns are rare. Anytime you see a picture, like at school, when you get the little folders, they all had white unicorns on there. Being African-American, I just thought it would be clever to be the 'Black Unicorn,' " Bennett said, with his wife, Siggi, giggling nearby. "That's pretty much it. That's all there is to it. It's just kind of one of those things that kind of sticks to you."
As he passed Jermon Bushrod from the podium to a folding chair, Bennett whispered to the Bears' new left tackle, "Sorry, man."
But Bennett is determined to elicit "oohs" in addition to "ha-has."
"He keeps it young," Michael Bennett said of his son. "He's a hard worker, and he knows when he's on the football field, he's focused.
"But when he's not, he likes to laugh and have fun, and that's a good thing."
Bennett was a free agent last offseason after playing behind eight-time Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten in Dallas for his first four NFL seasons. Not thrilled about the contract offers, Bennett accepted a one-year, $2.5 million contract from the New York Giants.
He sparkled in 16 starts, catching 55 passes for 626 yards and five touchdowns, and he earned a four-year, $20 million contract from the Bears on Tuesday that included $9 million in guarantees.
Before the news conference, the Bears informed the previous regime's two tight ends, Kellen Davis and Matt Spaeth, of their release, a move that saved them a combined $4.1 million in salary-cap space, which they needed.
The Bears now turn the position over to Bennett, who has established himself as a three-down player, given his skills as a blocker and receiver, and he'll be another weapon for quarterback Jay Cutler.
Bennett embraces all of that responsibility.
"I thought my season was OK," Bennett said, referring to last year with the Giants. "I think I'm getting better and better every year. I think next year will be even better.
"I was able to build some confidence into the things I thought I was capable of doing and to finally get a chance to do that, you can only improve. I think it was a huge stepping-stone."
Coach Marc Trestman and general manager Phil Emery laughed along with everyone else, as Bennett talked about dinosaurs and his Cap'n Crunch rap.
"I think you got a little bit of a taste for Martellus there," Trestman said. "He's going to bring some life and some energy."
Emery even pointed to his wife and Bennett's love of art.
"He looks at things from a different perspective,'' Emery said. ''Being married to an artist, I certainly understand that perspective. And I'm glad we will have elements within our locker room that will add to our total team effort."
But Emery didn't invest all that money in Bennett to lighten up the locker room. He did so because, even at 26, Bennett is one of the league's most complete tight ends, an asset on running and passing plays, a playmaker who cannot be ignored.

Burns' skills in the clutch were evident last week as he scored the game-winning touchdown and 2-point conversion in the Trojans' 26-24 win over the Water Valley Blue Devils in the second round of the 3A State Football Playoffs.
On Friday night, Burns came through with some last quarter magic again as he intercepted a pass and threw a game-winning touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to give the Trojans a 6-5 win in a defensive struggle against the Byhalia Indians at Byhalia in the third round of the playoffs. East Side (14-0), will take on Charleston (13-1) for the 3A North Half Title at Leroy Byars Field in Cleveland this Friday. Charleston hammered Aberdeen 49-22 to advance to the North Half Title game.
The winner will go to the 3A State Title game and play the winner of the East Marion-Hazlehurst South Half Title game on Dec. 1 at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson at 11 a.m.
"This is going to be the biggest game in East Side history," Trojans head football coach Roger Burton said about the upcoming game with Charleston. "This is a huge game. It's North Half at home, and we've got a chance."
Byhalia was able to get a safety and a field goal in the first half to take a 5-0 lead at halftime. The Trojans struggled to get any momentum going on offense, but the defense continued to keep them in the game.
In the fourth quarter, Burns came up with a huge play as he intercepted a pass to give East Side the ball at around midfield. The Trojans' offense were able to drive the ball down the field. Burns, who was playing under center at quarterback in the wildcat formation, connected with Kamien Lucas on a 13-yard touchdown pass with just under four minutes to play to put East Side up 6-5. The touchdown would be all that East Side needed as the team was able to hold on for the victory.
"They had a good defensive team," Burton said about Byhalia. "We were built about the same. We found a way to win. That's all that matters."
Burns had another good all around game as he rushed for 47 yards on nine carries and completed both of his passes for 17 yards on offense. Lucas caught his two passes for 17 receiving yards. On defense, Burns also recorded five tackles, including the interception that would set up the game winning drive.
"Burns is a special player — special," Burton added.
On offense, East Side rushed for 178 yards on 30 carries. Quadre Butler aided the Trojans running the football as he rushed for a team-high 70 yards on 12 carries, followed by Jaylen Thomas with 40 yards on five carries.
On defense, Michael Hurns and Edgar Eatmon flexed their muscles for the Trojans. Eatmon recorded five tackles including three sacks with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, while Hurns racked up a team-high 10 tackles.

Wide Multi Stripe Sweater Dress
Style # 207610
A mix of black and white stripes give this bebe sweater dress a high-impact punch. Try it with a pair of knee high leather boots and a moto jacket for a quick day look.
- 95% rayon, 5% spandex
- Center back to hem: 26" (66 cm)
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Wide Multi Stripe Sweater Dress
pretty dress but longer than expected
A very pretty dress but it's much longer than most bebe dresses. I've ordered other bebe dresses that were body hugging like this dress but this one seems to run longer (I'm 5 feet). Goes up to close to my knees. Still a hot sexy dress, but more like something I will wear for a more tamed down occasion.
April 8, 2013
This is a quality dress not thin or cheaply made. This dress fits my body like a glove. I checked the size guide to choose the size and it is true to size. I can't wait to wear it out!!!! I love it.
April 4, 2013
Great Dress! Love it!!
This dress fits AMAZING!!! I love how thick it is and sucks you in!! I"m wearing it to a Kem concert with black leggings and booties! Can't wait!! It definitely hugs your curves in the right places...Sexy & comfortable at the same time... Can't go wrong with this dress!
December 17, 2012
Great quality!
The quality is great..a little thicker than the other Bebe sweater dresses which is perfect for when it gets cold! Looks amazing with a pair of opaque tights and stiletto boots!
December 10, 2012
Excellent Quality.
I just got this in the mail today and its a beautiful dress. You can definitely tell the difference between the $100+ Bebe dresses and the $69 ones. My only gripe is that the top of dress is more of a square cut and I prefer rounded. I also order size small dresses from here and this one is a little loose. But overall a great dress and i'm sure its gonna last awhile.

Lichborne: More death knight glyphs in Mists of Pandaria and patch 5.0.4
Every week, WoW Insider brings you Lichborne for blood, frost, and unholy death knights. In the post-Cataclysm era, death knights are no longer the new kids on the block. Let's show the other classes how a hero class gets things done.
Last week, we started our discussion of the redesigned glyph system for Mists of Pandaria. This week, we'll finish out that discussion, covering the remaining major glyphs as well as minor glyphs.
The glyph system continues to look remarkably alien compared to what we have had before, but there are still some familiar glyphs, as well as a few long sought-after cosmetic additions. As we mentioned last week, there are very few mandatory glyphs, so a lot of this is going to come down to your personal preferences and playstyle. Be sure to read part 1 of this guide if you haven't already, then read on for the rest.

Michael Bloomberg-backed PAC financing anti-Debbie Halvorson ads

A political action committee financed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has launched a TV commercial blitz attacking 2nd Congressional District candidate Debbie Halvorson for her views on guns.
"We feel Debbie Halvorson's positions are out of step with mainstream America and hope our commercials on cable and other broadcast outlets will educate people," said Stevan Friedman, a spokesman for Independence USA PAC.
"Former Rep. Halvorson has positions on gun safety that defy common sense. She opposes bans on assault weapons and restricting magazine rounds and carrying concealed weapons across state lines."
Halvorson did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment.
The commercials blasting Halvorson were aired Wednesday morning during local newscasts on NBC and other stations.
Friedman refused to say how much the PAC was planning to spend on the anti-Halvorson commercials or how long they would run.
The political action committee spent millions of dollars throughout the country during the November congressional elections.
"Mayor Bloomberg has said he supports several basic issues and that includes educating the public about gun safety, the environment and public education," Friedman said.
"We just want folks to be educated on what her positions are and have been."

Building a better peanut butter cookie
I do not have a revolutionary approach to peanut butter cookies to offer you. I am not an advocate of the three-ingredient approach: In my book, it's not a cookie unless it has flour in it.
Putting aside such radicalism, there are only a few potentially contentious ingredients in the basic peanut butter cookie formula, and for each of these I will give you my humble opinion of the best path. You are welcome to choose otherwise, as long as you understand that the probable outcome will be disappointment and resentment on the part of those you give your dry, crumbly, bland baked goods.
Your peanut butter should be natural, i.e., the kind containing only peanuts and salt, the kind that requires stirring to incorporate the oil into the peanut solids. (You may make your own instead of buying it.) Ostensibly, "regular" peanut butter, with its added emulsifiers, sweeteners and hydrogenated oils, will contaminate your cookies' flavor with its weird artificiality.
Your other source of fat should be butter, not shortening. Butter will make your cookies taste buttery; shortening will make them taste suspiciously vacant, like Katy Perry's voice post-Auto-Tune. Yes, shortening yields chewier cookies than butter does, because butter contains water and shortening doesn't. But you can easily make up for butter's crisping tendencies by using crucial ingredient No. 3 ...
Brown sugar instead of white sugar. (In the dough, that is; you will coat your cookies in white sugar.) The moisture content of brown sugar results in soft, chewy, doughy cookies every time (provided they're not overcooked). Plus, its dark molasses flavor nicely complements the roasted notes in the peanut butter.
You can further augment the gustatory potential of the peanut butter by using both vanilla and almond extracts in your dough — just a splash of the latter is enough to boost your cookies' nuttiness.
Getting your ingredients right is well more than half the battle, but a couple of final flourishes are also worth your trouble.
First, dip your lumps of dough in sugar before baking them. This really should be SOP for more cookie recipes: It adds a pleasant sheen and a delicate crunch to the surface of the finished cookie — not to mention a taste-bud-pleasing saccharine wallop. A sugar coating is an especially nice counterpoint to this dough, which is mellow rather than aggressively sweet on its own.
And then there's crosshatching — that is, indenting the top of each ball of cookie dough with the bottom side of a fork's tines before baking. Sometime in the 1930s, such marks became the international sign for "This Is a Peanut Butter Cookie." You don't have to do it if you want to scoff at tradition or preserve the mystery of the cookie's contents until the first bite is taken. Alternatively, you can flatten the dough balls into disks with the bottom of a glass or indent them with your thumb (and then later fill the imprint with jelly, if you like). You can also leave them spherical and then, immediately after baking, press a Hershey's kiss or similar size chocolate morsel into the center of each one to flatten it slightly and create a seal between chocolate and cookie.
Such Hershey's-kissed confections are known as peanut butter blossoms, and I resist them on philosophical grounds, since they were clearly invented as a blatant ploy to induce people to buy more Hershey's kisses. Speaking less theoretically, though, I do find it difficult to stop eating them whenever they're put in front of me.
Peanut butter cookies
Prep: 20 minutes
Chill: 2 hours
Bake: 10 minutes
Makes: About 24 cookies
1 cup brown sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, or more as needed
1. Beat the brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter with the paddle attachment of a stand mixer (or with a hand-held mixer in a large bowl) until light and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla and almond extract; beat to combine. Add the flour, baking soda and salt; stir just until combined. Wrap the dough in foil or plastic wrap (or simply cover the bowl); refrigerate, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
2. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls; coat each ball in sugar. Transfer to a baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Press the tines of a fork flat against each ball of dough to indent it; make a second indentation perpendicular to the first one.
3. Bake until the cookies are firm and their edges are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets, 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks or paper towels to finish cooling. Repeat with the remaining dough. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a few days.

The Ruleville Police Department, Drew Police Department, Sunflower County Sheriff's Department and even a couple of state troopers responded to the school.
Principal Darron Edwards said he doesn't believe the conflicts were related to this year's merging of Drew Hunter High School with Central.
This is the first year the long time rival border towns are attending high school under the same roof.
"Based on the preliminary evidence we have at this point, it appears the fights did not involve Ruleville kids versus Drew kids," Edwards said.
Edwards said he could not release many details as the incidents are under further investigation by the school,and they will be receiving assistance from Ruleville Police if needed.
"Our number one priority is safety," added Edwards. "There are going to be fights at school and sometimes they unfold beyond control. Our trained and certified staff did a good job of diffusing more fights from occurring."
Edwards could not confirm how many students took part in the melee but all who involved were sent home.
Ruleville Police Captain Amos Mitchner said he believes there were about 10 students sent home and they are likely to be suspended.
"The teachers and students did everything they could to get the children under control," he added. "Sometimes it's difficult to figure out everyone who's involved when some kids are running to the fight and some are running away."
The disturbances, which reportedly began in the gymnasium, threw off the regular bell schedule and a modified lunch and class schedule was established for the remainder of the day.
"We will be issuing the appropriate punishments based on our handbook," said Edwards."
He added that the Drew-Ruleville rivalry has not been as big of an issue as many in the communities anticipated, and for the most part, Drew students are performing very well in academics and athletics.
"We're seeing that many of the Drew students are achieving as high or higher than Ruleville students," he said. "They've done a great job with the transition."

1. The ancient Olympic Games date back to 776 BC, but many actually believe they were being held long before that time. The Greeks dedicated these games to the God Zeus. The original games were held on the plain of Olympia in Peloponnesos, Greece. 2. Only one event took place at the ancient games. It was a short run that was called the "stade". The race was run by men who competed in the nude. A wreath of olive branches was placed on the winner's head. In Greek, this is called a kotinos. 3. Women couldn't compete in these games, and they were not allowed to watch either. 4. The period of time between the Olympic Games is called an olympiad. It consists of four years. 5. Beginning in 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic games were staggered, so that there is one set of Olympic games, summer or winter, alternating every two years. 6. As time went on more sports were added and the Olympics continued to grow. Even today, with the Modern Olympics, new sports are being added as well as some sports being eliminated. Some of the sports we no longer see at the Olympics are: golf, basque pelota, croquet, jeu de paume, lacrosse, polo, rackets, roque, rugby, union, cricket, tug-of-war and softball. 7. Originally, the Olympics were only held in the summer. The first winter Olympics were held in 1924, in Chamonix, France. 8. The Olympic flag has five intersecting rings. They are each a different color: red, black, green, blue and yellow. The rings are displayed on a white background. The rings represent the five parts of the world that were joined together in the Olympic movement: the Americas, Australia, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Baron de Coubertin designed the flag of the Olympics in 1913-1914, and it was first used at the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp, Belgium. 9. A flame was lit for each Olympics, and it burned throughout the games. The flame symbolized the death and rebirth of Greek heroes. This tradition began during the ancient Olympic Games, over 2700 years ago in Greece. There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympics. The first torch relay took place at the 1936 games in Berlin, Germany. 10.The following sports are part of the Summer Olympics: Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Boxing, Canoeing, Cycling, Diving, Equestrian, Fencing, Field Hockey, Soccer, Gymnastics, Handball, Judo, Pentathlon, Rowing, Sailing, Shooting, Swimming, Synchronized Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Tennis, Triathlon, Volleyball, Water Polo, Weightlifting, Wrestling. The following sports are part of the Winter Olympics: Biathlon, Combined Downhill, Cross Country, Downhill, Freestyle Aerials, Freestyle Moguls, Giant Slalom, Nordic Combined, Slalom, Snowboarding, Ski Jumping, Super-G, Bobsleigh, Luge, Skeleton, Curling, Figure Skating, Ice Dancing, Ice Hockey, Speed Skating, Short Track. |

The newcomer to Cleveland said she was only 10 years old when both her parents were suffering from illnesses that ultimately cut short their lives before Mashburn turned 21.
"I was raised with two parents who were extremely ill," Mashburn explained. "My father had lupus erythematosus. He was on dialysis five to six days a week. My mother had ovarian cancer. She was in and out of the hospital undergoing chemotherapy for my entire life. So I've been a caregiver most of my life. That experience set me in this course. I was 12 when my older sister, Melody, married and left home. I was the baby so I was there, at home, through it all. I was involved in caregiving from age 10 to when they died. My mother died when I was 18, and my father died when I was 20. It helped me to have sympathy, empathy, patience and understanding. I'm so glad I was able to be there for them. I have no regrets."
Although those years in Calhoun, Ga., were difficult, Mashburn said reading her Bible, trusting in her God and relying on friends in her congregation gave her the strength she needed to endure.
"If it hadn't been for my congregation coming in and helping me, I don't know what I would have done," she admits. "It was a tough time."
But through it all, the resilient caregiver found a compassion for the sick, disabled and elderly that made her experience with her parents a valuable lesson in learning how to show love and kindness through the skill of being a nursing assistant and caregiver of others.
"I enjoy helping people and taking care of a family's most prized possessions — their loved ones," Mashburn said. "The people are so grateful when I come in and do things that they can no longer do for themselves. They're so appreciative. It's very satisfying work. It really is. Based on my own experience, I have an understanding of what other family members are going through when they experience a loved one needing a caregiver."
Mashburn said that is the most fulfilling part of her job — her client's sincere appreciation and knowing she is making a real difference in their lives. She said her customized home care service provides overnight care, mobility and safety supervision, homemaker services, transportation and errands, home salon services, post-hospital transportation and personal care to suit the needs of her clients.
"I do light housekeeping, assist with meals, laundry and getting my client's to their doctor's appointments," Mashburn added. "I've had medical assisting training so I can check on their vitals and transmit that information to their doctors, if need be. It's a full service. I have a master's in cosmetology so I can do their nails as well as shampoo and style their hair. But that's in addition to the hourly personal care."
Mashburn, who volunteered to help several sick and elderly in her community before moving to Cleveland, including volunteering for families who had loved ones in hospice even before she graduated from the Gwinnett (Ga.) College Medical Assisting Program, said she is looking forward to offering her services in Cleveland, where she already feels a warm reception.
"I really enjoy it here," she said. "Cleveland is like a big city but it's still rural. It still has that Southern hospitality charm. People aren't in a rush. I like that they can take a minute to be cordial and strike up a conversation. I've always been more of a country girl and I lived in Roswell, (Ga.), which was more like Atlanta. So I'm glad to be back to a slower-paced life."
Mashburn is a single mom with an 18-year-old daughter who is in school for studies in phlebotomy and learning to how to be a patient care technician. She has one older sister living in Cleveland and three older brothers in Georgia. Her hobbies include bike riding, painting, shopping, crafts and jewelry making.
For further information about her Customized Home Care, call Martie Mashburn at 423-310-1311 or email her at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Victoria's Secret At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good concealer, and mascara; outstanding powder eyeshadow, liquid liner, and long-wearing lip color; good makeup remover.
Weaknesses: Average foundation (and only one option); disappointing eye pencil, lip balms, and oil-blotting papers.
Victoria's Secret makeup clearly tries to play up the same sleek, coy sexuality the rest of the Victoria's Secret merchandise is known for. And what could be a better environment for offering makeup! Victoria's Secret stores are all about a woman feeling sexy and beautiful, head to toe. If you're donning a silky teddy or lacy corset, the complete look almost begs for full, glossed, pouty lips and softly blushed cheeks, and this cosmetics line supplies that, albeit with shine and glitter to spare.
In the fall of 2006, the former Victoria's Secret makeup line blossomed with a whole new look and more enticing branding. Dubbed Very Sexy Makeup (to complement the company's popular fragrance of the same name), the line benefited from a streamlined product selection, while the packaging was updated from polished silver to lacquered black with metallic fuchsia stripes. The image update is sleek and mostly impressive, and kudos are due for to the well-designed tester units, which allow customers to experiment with every shade and offer plenty of tissues, cotton balls, mirrors, and makeup remover. Although I could argue that it doesn't take loads of shimmer and glitter to create very sexy makeup, I'll keep my comments focused on the products themselves, a surprising number of which are quite good and moderately priced.
Items worth checking out include the Liquid eyeliner, Face Illuminator and the impressive Long Wear Lip Shine. The lack of foundation options and a disregard for sufficient UVA protection in every product sporting an SPF rating is disappointing. If you happen to be visiting Victoria's Secret for their annual bra sale you might want to check out some of their makeup items just for the fun of it.

KENTUCKY (1/27/14) – The Affordable Care Act is causing employers to consider a number of strategies so as to be in compliance.
Larger employers provide health insurance for employees and some include families.
The employee usually has to contribute to the cost of the plan plus pay their co-pay and deductible.
Co-pays tend to range from $10 to $30 for each office visit.
The deductible of an insurance policy is what the patient must spend before insurance kicks in.
Deductibles have risen in recent years as health insurance plan costs have escalated.
Employers have used a health insurance benefit to attract more skilled and dedicated employees.
The 40 hour work week equals 173.33 hours per month. A health care plan that costs $300 per month equals a $1.73 per hour benefit.
This would add almost 22 percent to the hourly wage of a person making $8 per hour.
This 22 percent is in addition to other employer costs for workers compensation insurance, matching Social Security and Medicare, and unemployment insurance (both state and federal). Vacation and holiday benefits can add another 2 percent to 6 percent to employee costs.
The lower the pay of the employee, the greater the percentage cost impact to the employer.
Typically the lower paid employees have less education, fewer skills and less experience. These employees do not often enjoy many benefits especially health insurance.
Now with the ACA, employers are exploring their options.
The employers we spoke with did so with the understanding that they were off the record.
The options seemed to fall out into five categories.
- Provide the Insurance – Most businesses are expected to provide employee health insurance coverage and charge the employee (up to 9.5% of employee's pay) to help pay the premium cost. One employer thought that his lower paid employees would decline coverage and go to the exchange. This would be particularly true if the employee qualified for a subsidy.
- Outsourcing Labor - One business with slightly over 50 employees was looking at ways to get their head count below 50. "I am even looking at offering one group of employees the option of being an independent subcontractor. I will do that if I cannot afford the insurance package."
- Go to Part Time Schedule - Another business with well over 50 employees will change their work schedule. A supervisor told SurfKY News, "We plan to change our manufacturing to 60 hours per week. As long as we keep an individual's hours below 30 hours per week, we will not have to provide insurance. If we work 6 - tens, shift A will work 7 to 5 Monday through Wednesday and Shift B will work 7 to 5 Thursday through Saturday. When you take 30 minutes off for lunch, that keeps everyone at 28.5 hours per week." Another manager said that he may do the same thing "I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of companies doing this. If you have several companies working this schedule, you will get into an ad-hoc employee sharing especially in food service and retail."
- Outsource Labor Overseas - A plant manager of a large multi-national company said that his company can reallocate production between several manufacturing facilities around the world. "If our costs get too great in one location, we can shift production to another location. Management is keeping close tabs on labor costs and our investments follow reliable, qualified, low-cost labor." He said. "I don't think we know what our health insurance cost will be at this facility. Talks of a higher minimum wage are a big concern to me. We pay well above minimum (wage); but, we have to stay well above minimum to keep our people happy. I think we would lose at least one production line if minimum is increased."
- Automation - Another option being considered by several companies is to automate the repetitious, mundane jobs. One small business owner told SurfKY News "I have 45 employees and I pay half their health insurance. My oldest employee is 51 years old and he is one of a handful that takes the insurance. I think my business will pick up in 2014. I can upgrade to higher capacity machines and I can automate several functions. Taking these steps, I can do quite a bit more business and keep my headcount under 50."

Among the scrum of people around the new Corvettes at NAIAS, and at the offsite reveal the night before, were Corvette Club members, who paid some $1200 (for two) to be present for the historic happening. With their matching black shirts--with cool Stingray logo on the back collar--they were easy to spot in the crowd.
We caught up with two: Teresa Hart and Mary Nist. Nist made the trek from New Jersey; Hart, who moved from California to work at the Corvette museum, came up from Bowling Green. Was it worth it? "I've never seen a car unveiled before," said Hart. "It was very exciting."
"It was something we're going to talk about for a long time," added Nist. "It's going to make a lot of our friends jealous."

Round 2 of NFIB's lawsuit against the NLRB's "poster rule" got underway yesterday with arguments in the federal Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. The rule, announced in August 2011, would require business owners to prominently post a notice in the workplace telling employees how to unionize.
After the NRLB issued the notice in 2011, NFIB sued to stop the rule. Besides taking issue with poster's outrageously pro-union language, NFIB argued in court that the NLRB doesn't have authority to impose a posting requirement on over six million employers. As a creature of statute, the NLRB can do only what Congress tells it to do. And Congress hasn't told the NLRB to issue a poster. In March, federal District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the NLRB had authority to issue the poster rule. NFIB and other employer groups appealed Jackson's order and asked the federal court of appeals to adopt the opinion of a federal District Court judge in South Carolina who, in another lawsuit, struck down the rule.
During yesterday's argument, the NLRB apparently conceded that the agency lacks power to impose affirmative obligations on employers unless the employer commits an unfair labor practice. Then,—remarkably—the NLRB made the bold, and unwieldy, claim that failure to inform employees of their rights under labor laws is an unfair labor practice in itself.
In other words, the NLRB believes that the agency can order millions of employers to post information about labor law because federal law currently imposes an affirmative obligation on employers to educate employees about their right to unionize. More outrageous – under the NLRB's view, employers who fail to inform employees of their rights are today in violation of the National Labor Relations Act. Not surprisingly, this assertion, which would give the NLRB seemingly unlimited power, met skepticism from the judges.
The NLRB contends that changing workforce demographics justify the poster rule. In the agency's words, because there is a higher percentage of non-English speaking workers and lower percentage of union members, workers don't know their NLRA rights. Such an assumption is dubious in the Internet age. And the agency conducted no empirical study to back up its assertion that a (biased, one-sided) poster in the break room will increase awareness of NLRA rights. In other words, the NLRB hasn't shown the rule is necessary, a requirement for federal rulemaking (this is assuming the agency had authority to issue a poster rule, which it doesn't).
The bottom line is that yesterday's argument failed to demonstrate why the NLRB has authority to compel business owners to display these posters. Moreover, there is something dubious about the agency's suggestion that it should have free reign to decide the scope of its own jurisdiction. To be sure, there is nothing stopping the NLRB from imposing further burdens on employers if it gets away with this. Perhaps next it will require employers to pay employees to attend labor training, or file annual reports on labor issues, or to allow union activists on to their property to lecture employees on labor issues. If we throw away the statutory limitations on the agency's powers, then anything goes.

One of the most important features of our Center for Community Forestry is something no one ever sees. It's the TreePeople cistern, a 216,000-gallon underground storage tank, where we save rainwater collected from the Center's rooftops and Parking Grove.
The water is filtered and then stored in the cistern for use in dry months, when the vegetation on our site must be irrigated to survive.
Technology inspired by a natural forest
In a natural forest, trees help the ground absorb and hold rainwater. This enables the water to percolate slowly down to the aquifer, where it replenishes groundwater supplies – a source of water for human use.
Our cistern uses some very simple technology to mimic the water-capturing processes of a forest. If more homes and business in Southern California harvested rainwater this way, it would decrease the amount of polluted runoff that ends up in our ocean.
It would also reduce the city's need to import 85 percent of its usable water, which comes at a high cost to consumers, the environment and the communities in which that water originated.
How big is the cistern?
The TreePeople cistern is a circular tank, 70 feet in diameter and 8 feet deep. It is made of concrete and has a steel-reinforced roof held up by concrete pillars. This enables it to withstand the weight of fire trucks in times of emergency – when the water in the cistern can be used by our local fire department.
Build a virtual cistern
Use our interactive cistern model to build a virtual cistern and test how it would have performed during nine different rainy seasons in Los Angeles.

The lights are on
I'm sure by now everyone's well aware of the spam/adbot problem we've been having lately in the forums. Rest assured the mods are doing their best to keep everything cleaned up. Today alone I've personally spent the better part of an hour banning these accounts, hiding their posts, and then individually deleting each of these posts (I've probably deleted over 150 threads so far today) to make sure the forums aren't left a broken mess.
Unfortunately just hiding these user's posts isn't enough, because evidently somewhere in the forum's programming it's set up in such a way that hidden posts still have placeholders in the forum's pages for some reason, so just hiding the posts would result in what would appear to be multiple empty or drastically short pages of threads.
That said, some of these threads these spam bots made only had a title and no body, and as such for some reason I apparently have no ability to delete, modify, or even reply to these threads, so as a result there are still unfortunately going to be a few pages in the forums that either appear shortened or completely blank due to the aforementioned issue with hidden threads still having placeholders. Eventually these gaps in the forums will fall into obscurity though as more valid threads take over the first several pages of the forums.
I don't know what's being done behind the scenes to stop this annoying problem from happening, but on behalf of the staff and the other mods on GIO, I ask that you try to be patient. I know it's tempting to trash talk these spam bots or reply to the myriad threads they create and tell them to go away, but because they are bots they don't care what you have to say or what you think, so any such effort is a waste of time. Feel free however to send conversation messages with links to these spammer's profiles to either myself or one of the other mods, and we'll try to deal with them as quickly as we can.
There is an reCAPTCHA set up in account registration, I verified this for myself last night. Either there's now bots that can overcome that or we're dealing with people so determined that they're making the accounts themselves, then unleashing their bots afterwards.
I had noticed these annoying things. And man, 150 deleted posts!? Without you guys this place would probably be an unusable mess lol. I definitely appreciate it.
Thanks for clearing up those posts and don't worry about the placeholder issue. These Forums are relatively new and aren't at their peak potential.
About the bots, I am actually an expert on this. Depending on what reCaptcha system you use, even regular bots can get passed them. Some bots are actually able to detect numbers and letters if not too obscured. Basically, these bots may be running a script that is able to detect geometric shapes, figures, and color. It's amazing how far these bots have advanced.
All you can do really is hope for the best and just take action when necessary. Your work is appreciated and without you guys, these Forums would be a mess. I have been on another site where it got so bad to the point the mods didn't care anymore. This was a few years ago and by now, I forgot all about it really. Can't remember the site though... Oh well, long live GIO. ^_^
Please do not feed the trolls. Violation of Internet Health Safety Code 115270-3B Subsection 2 Paragraph 1. Violators are punishable to up to 5 years in internet shame.
was wondering if someone was going to do anything about this.
Whatever peels your orange
Whew, 14 adbot users banned already today. It's gonna be a long day...
Edit: Correction, make that 20 adbot users banned today as of 3:17pm eastern. Are we having fun yet?
How I wish we could turn this into a FPS, and get the community together to..."ban" them MWAHAHAHAHA!
I appreciate the work you mods are doing to keep the forums clean, but wow that many threads, couple with that many bots, must be a long day...
Haha, that would indeed be awesome! NEW GAME: Bot Forum Banning 2011
A few of the spammers are even taking the time to upload an avatar. That's just weird.
Twitter / Newcomer Cheat Sheet / Usage Guidelines
This is just getting worse.... I hope the staff have taken notice. Like suggested already, the main problem is the ReCaptcha in this. If they made it one of those you find on Google, then I think we could see all these bots down for the count. I have seen bots take down many games, let alone Forums.
We ARE using the Google Recaptcha facility. They're still getting in some how.
Actually, the ReCaptcha used is still pretty basic. You need one with multi colors and more shadowing to disguise the text. Then is makes it harder for the bots.
The other theory I have is that maybe some of these accounts were made already by a human and then a bot is attached. You guys have any luck with I.P. tracing or does the spammer(s) use different I.P. addresses every time?
If you guys need any help, I'm here. I have a very free schedule and I'm usually up when no one else is(Hooray for insomnia!) so I don't have a problem cleaning up the threads when they appear. Of course that would be making me a mod, and I know the person in charge of the "mods" account on here mentioned awhile ago about possibly trying to make me one when they needed a new mod, but...yeah.
Is there anything we can do as regular users? Does reporting help at all? Should we go so far as to bump topics to remove the ads from the front page? I think it's obvious no one in the community is very pleased with the spamer and/or bots.
It's really quite an eyesore...I'm surprised the forums are being attacked like this. I've never seen a video game forum get targeted for such massive spam attacks. Has anyone checked out any other forums to see if they're having the same problem? Because then that could pretty much confirm it's a bot, IIRC.
Thanks for the offer. Meagan used to be our community manager, then it was Annette, now it's me and Sanders. I'll see about giving you mod access, but can't do it today.
These posts appear to be spam bots looking at their frequency and ip addresses (Bangladesh and Philippines). We've been trying to keep up with them, but there's bugs and usability issues on the site that slow us down. Soooo...we'll have to fix those, at least, if we're going to make head way.

Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Transmission Problems
foldem Posts: 1I have a 2006 chevy colorado my auto trans, keeps giving me problems in first gear always slips... starter at 20,000 miles took it to the chevy dealer was told no codes. Took it back again at 25,000 miles same problem and was told again we cant find anything wrong with the truck. well now it's out of warranty and IT STILL IS DOING IT called gmc and they told me I had to pay to have the trans taking apart to find out what's wrong I told them this is there fault because it was not done right in the first place while it was under warrenty, why should I have to pay THATS ALL THEY COULD SORRY NO CODES NO PROBLEMS BULL.... Now I have 78,000 miles THEY JUST DON'T CARE I WILL NEVER BUY A GM MODEL AGAIN......THEY SUCK.
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,173
silkydraws Posts: 3Along with a clogged cat, bad ABS brain and really crappy running condition, now the truck makes a horrendous noise backing up. A loud clacking sound like someone has a hose clamp around the driveshaft hitting the floor board (remember that trick? With tie wraps?) I believe it's the input bearing going out. Already had a complete new clutch kit which did nothing. Hunk of junk I tell 'ya. All this at 65K miles. Never buy one of these money pits!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mishadetree Posts: 1I own a 2006 3.5L-2wd that I bought brand new & just experienced the same problem. The night before I was going from rev to drive & it made a loud shudder clunk. But it sounded like from the rear end. Then it acted like I wasnt getting proper torque/power. Gas peddle was even mushy & somewhat unresponsive w/no change in RPM(slippage). Then abt 2 miles down the road it all straightened out?? Now today I get in & have no 3rd & 4th but will move in 1st, 2nd, & rev. Have not taken it out on the road yet. Worried it wont make it back??
What all did you find out & do to correct your prob? -
gumbta2 Posts: 7Did you get a check engine light? When I had this problem it had a code relating to shift solenoid B bad. I have not had the problem since it happened the one time but since I was overdue on a tranny service I did that. Maybe I'm paranoid but I don't think the tranny is shifting quite right but don't know for sure. I found the ACDelco solenoids on Rockauto.com and theya re not expensive but have to drop the pan to replace. If I have further problems that's my next action. NOTE: they don't list the solenoids as A, B etc., they list them as 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd and so on go up then in reverse for down shift. When I called RockAuto they got ACDelco on the phone and i believe 5 in total are required if you replace all of them. Let me know the outcome....GOOD LUCK
wtfthistruck Posts: 1I have a 2004 colorado i bought when they first came out recently hitting over 100k miles i noticed high rpms on the beltway and when i got home and went to park i had to give it alot of gas to get it to to move in reverse and it makes a weird noise i checked the fluid it was very low so i added more it stopped the high rpm problem but reverse is still doing the same thing help!
toohip Posts: 1My 2009 5 cyl crew cab Canyon has issues around 50 mph. When my foot is on the pedal with moderate force the trans keeps flipping between gears. If I back off the pedal or apply more force it stops. It seems to happen when I try to move a few mph faster from around 45 to 50 mph. If I apply more force to create a higher increase in mph it's fine. It's annoying to have to play with it even for the few moments it occurs. Anyone have any idea what causes this to occur? The truck has around 24k on it.
leadfoot4 Posts: 593"toohip" at 45 MPH or so, you're right around the point at where the torque converter locks up, putting you into overdrive. However, this "lock up" also depends on coolant temp, load, and throttle posision. If you're just on the edge of any of those parameters, the tranny has a tendency to "hunt" a bit, until the vehicle load/speed has stabilized.
rodsonbueno Posts: 1
gumbta2 Posts: 7I had the same problem but my check engine light came on not transmission. When I read the code it indicated B shift solenoid. After the truck sat for an hour I drove it again and problem was cleared and have has not come back and it's been 10K miles since. I did change tranny fluid and located the solenoids on valve body and appear to be some what easy to replace.
my66vette Posts: 1I see a few forums that resemble my problem but not exactly. So here I go and I hope someone can shed some light on the repair needed. I bought a new 2006 Chevy Colorado in 06. Other than a few things needing repair (front wheel bearings and ABS sensors) it's been an "Okay" truck. I have 92,000 miles on it now. At the end of last winter my 4WD stopped working. The push buttons would just flash in any position and it would stay in 2WD. All summer it was flashing in the 2WD position. I was moving in 2WD so I didn't question things.
Now that winter is approaching I thought I'd look into fixing the 4WD. My parts guy said it's probably the Actuator. So I bought it and installed. It seem that it is now going into 2WD, 4IH and 4Low. All seems good except the idiot lights. They stop flashing when in 4Hi & 4Low but keeps flashing in 2WD. Everything seems to be working. Back in the day the fix to this would have been "pull the bulb" Any thoughts out there? -
fmagellan Posts: 102005 Colorado Crew Cab 4x4 Automatic
Hoping someone can shed some light on this problem. My tranny seems to "slip" or "hunt for a gear". I drive the same route to and from work everyday (50-60 mph). What is really odd is that it seems to happen in the same places everyday and they are all on right-bearing turns?? It won't do it in a left-bearing turn. Tach needle flutters up and down (usually 100 - 600 rpm flux). Every once in a while on country roads, when I make a sharp right hand turn and try to accelerate, the truck rpm will spike, truck hesitates to move, drop to a lower gear (or that's at least what it feels like to me) and take off like a rocket (usually chirps the tires when it does this).
I 've had this problem since the valve spring/head recall work was done (10000 mi). I have had the dealer look at it with no luck. I had the dealer install a VDR (vehicle data recorder) to try to find the issue. No luck. They even sent a guy with me to ride to experience the problem firsthand (turns out the guy they sent with me was the guy that washes cars at the dealership). Needless to say, that got zero results.
If anyone can shed some insight on this problem, please do. The dealer has been zero help to me. I've been a lifelong GM guy. I think it might be time to reconsider. -

golfingeddie1 Posts: 1My 2008 transmission started making a noise and as you got up to about 50 it wouldnt make the noise. Got home and when i backedin the driveway it made a god awful noise. Called dealer talked to a lady and asked about warranty. She said warranty expired at 60thousand. Had truck towed to shop. Found out need new transmisssion. Luckly for me the dealer called me to ask how my recent trip to shop was. I explained to them the problem with tranny. Luckly it was still under warranty. Had to rent a car til they got it diagnosed. A day later they call and offer me a rental. So i had to pay for one day rental. Always been a chev man but my wife has a ford and not one problem. Every chevy ive had always had something wrong with it.

bliss6 Posts: 1The first mistake, you bought a GM car. As soon as I purchased a nissan, no more problems, bad lies from dealership, etc. Look at it like this, if the vehicle you are thinking of buying loses it value sharply after buying it, it's garbage. I buy japanese or korean cars now, you can buy the ones built here in the U.S.
Sorry to say the big U.S. car makers are putting out garbage! The colorado got discontinued because of so many problems. They seem to have monkeys for engineers, buy a car that keeps it's value. U.S. cars are great rental cars but I will never buy that crap again, the only time I go to the dealership is to buy another one. I have a 2000 Nissan maxima with 146,000 miles, it still drives great. American cars start dying after 50,000-60,000 miles. -
neveragain35 Posts: 1Long story short. Took my truck to dealer to get valves done under warranty. They forgot to refill my transmission(yes they pulled the radiator).Left me stranded had to walk a few miles for fluid. Complained complained complained . No satisfaction. Now my transmission chirps the tires between 1-2 gear. good rench. HA. Never received customer survey. i believe they filled it out themselves.I would stay away from this brand of truck and their service dept.
lane23 Posts: 7My Dad's 2008 Chevy Colorado, when he's driving slips into neutral from drive then makes a revving noise. Has anyone else come across this? He took it into the dealer, they had it for over a week and it never did it for them. It's done it 3x since he got it back from dealer on Monday, and it's only Saturday!! Anyone have any suggestions??? My Dad bought the truck used with warranty but if doesn't do anything while at the dealer they can't fix it under warranty.

Oro Loma Ranch increases acreage
Firebaugh, Calif.-based grower packer-shipper Ruby Fresh is planting several thousand acres of fresh pomegranates in South America.
"In three years we'll be importing steady supplies of our own pomegranates," said David Anthony, head of North American sales.
Ruby Fresh has imported container loads of fresh pomegranates from Chile for the past two years, Anthony said. Some are sold fresh and some are broken down for arils.
He said the company recently added a 4-ounce rectangular punnet to its line of 5-ounce and 8-ounce packages to appeal to price-sensitive consumers.
Ruby Fresh is the marketing arm for Oro Loma Ranch, which grows mainly the wonderful variety on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, about 50 miles west of Fresno, Calif.
This is the fourth season Ruby Fresh has sold whole pomegranates and arils.
As its trees mature and volumes increase, Anthony expects to have enough fresh pomegranates this year to meet its orders and attract new customers.
Pom Wonderful tests fruit for ripeness
Los Angeles-based Pom Wonderful is focusing on the internal ripeness of its fruit to ensure every consumer has a good experience.
"There's no correlation between the external color of the fruit and its maturity inside," said vice president and general manager Brad Paris.
"The color, or scarring on the skin is less of a concern," Paris said.
"A pomegranate can be light pink outside with sweet and beautiful dark red arils inside."
The only way to determine ripeness is to test the fruit internally before harvesting, he said.
"Somebody may be trying a pomegranate for the first time," he said.
"If they get one that's not ripe inside, they may not come back."
PureFresh Sales brings acreage online
Angel red and smith pomegranate orchards now coming into production are helping Selma, Calif.-based PureFresh Sales enter the market earlier.
President Bill Purewal said PureFresh and its grower partners in Fresno and Madera counties started shipping smiths Aug. 27 and planned to start shipping angels Sept. 3 before moving on to foothill and wonderfuls.
"An early crop helps us get customers going and keeps them with us into February," Purewal said.
"Every year we have more and more customers staying with us because we're doing just as good a job marketing and packing as the other grower-shippers," he said.
