Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Vibrations
I bought a 05 GMC Canyon w/33000 miles. It was not long before I found it had a bad vibration at 60 mph, was told it was tires so put top of the line Toyo's and vibration got worse. Power Chev. in Siblimity said it was tires so back to tire dealer where they rebalanced them and put truck up on rack to check for bad wheel or out of round but found nothing. Back to dealer, service manager happens to live close to me so suggested he drive it to work for a few days. 3 days later he calls and tells us it is a problem with this suspension and the fix is --150+lbs of weight between wheel wells and tail gate. Amazingly the vibration all but disappeared. There is a bulletin from GMC on this.

gary43 Posts: 2I have this Bulletin that the dealership gave us 03-00-91-001B but I also found the below on the web and they tried it.
99-05 Chevrolet/GMC Silverado Sierra suspension Vibration or Frame Beaming at 40-60 MPH Recommendation/Instructions:
Test drive vehicle to confirm the condition. a beam shake condition will usually respond to concrete type pavements more than asphalt, so the vehicle should be driven over both surfaces if possible, Place 200-500 pounds in the pickup bed between the closed tailgate and the wheel wells. A beaming condition should dissipate
If the concern is determined to be beam shake, this is a normal characteristic and no repair attempts should be made. A Field Product report should be submitted by following bulletin 02-00-89-002C.
The weight that they put in the back of my pickup did not get rid of the vibration all together but it took enough of it away that it is comfortable to drive now.
Hope this helps. -
leadfoot4 Posts: 593Just a question...Is what you're describing a "shake" in the steering wheel, or a vibration felt "through the seat of the pants"?
The first thing I did to my '05 Canyon was get rid of the OE General tires. They're worse than terrible. That in itself was the biggest part of the cure, but I still had a little shake in the steering wheel. It wasn't bad, but annoying. Just for grins, I took out the OE rubber sway bar bushings, and replaced them with polyurethane pieces. The poly allows the bar to rotate more freely, instead of binding. 99% of the shake is now gone.
I also took the driveshaft to a reputable shop to have the balance checked, as GM shafts are sometimes suspect. It wasn't severe enough to have the warranty cover it, but they replaced both u-joints, because they had a slight bit of slop, and balanced the shaft. The cost was $75, and it did smooth it out a little bit more.
Another couple of years, and a few hundred more dollars, and I should have this truck sorted out to where GM should have had it! -
norbert48 Posts: 3The vibration I feel is "seat of the pants" and has existed since the truck was new ,44K miles ago. Three sets of General tires by GM, same problem. I now use Goodyear Fotera Silent Armour but still feel the vibe after 30mph - 65mph. I'm also thinking about having the drive shaft re-balanced but I'm at a loss as to what else to try. I was told by a Chevy service manager that all Z-71 crew cabs do this and that I should "get use to it". Any further comments or assistance from other owners/mechanics would be of great help. Thanx
leadfoot4 Posts: 593I, too, have the Z-71 option. At one time, I thought the rear shocks had gone bad, so I removed them to check things out. In doing this, I found the shocks to be EXTREMELY stiff. I had quite a time getting the bolts through the lower shock eyes during installation, as the shocks were very difficult to compress. I couldn't do it by hand, I had to use a floor jack!!
I'm sure that this is part of the problem, there's so little compliance in the suspension. -
woodworker40 Posts: 1I just bought an 07 GMC 2500HD Sierra crew cab, and I also have the same problem with a vibration. Today the dealer had the tires re balanced with "Road Force Balance" I never heard of this I understand it's some type of new balancing machine. Not all shops have this machine.
I am very upset about all this. Why should I have to go through this after paying well over $34K for a new truck with a problem? GM knows of the problem, but they are still selling the built in problem. I would like to return my truck, and get my money back. -
cars7070 Posts: 1I too just bought a new 07 chevrolet 2500 hd regular cab,This truck shakes like it has square tires since new,the dealer has changed the tires twice balanced them at two other local tire shops,this thing is not bad its the worst piece of crap I have ever seen! They cant fix it,I drove every 2500 on the lot today they are all the same! 40 to 65 mph,BBB autoline GM is going to buy it back !
drb5023 Posts: 1I have a 2006 GMC 2500HD and i get a clunking noise in the steering frequently, and each time the steering shaft has to be replaced, this is the third time it has had to be replaced, i am sick of it, i was wondering do the diesels have the same problem, the truck sits, and it doesnt happen when towing, only driving around in city
frankp7 Posts: 4My 2004 colorado 4wd ext cab has a tinney vibration noise coming from the back. Dealer could not locate. Does it in neutral if give a little gas. Sounds like a loose exhaust but nothing loose there per dealer. The noise is very embarassing when others in the vehicle. Could the bed liner or tonneau cover be the cause. I am out of ideas to stop the noise.
akavl Posts: 1Only 300 miles and Canyon has a vibration, actually, it's feels more like one of the front wheels is lose. Dealer says everything is tight and problem is that truck is so light in the back that gives the feeling. Happens at mostly low speeds, 5 - 40. Sure feels like something is wrong to me.
stu78 Posts: 1I have this vibration in the exhaust too...GM said this is normal vibration... there engineering must be sitting on there hands...I guess they don't want me to buy another GM product... What dealer did this for you??? And what did they replace???? I paid good money for this truck and I would like it fixed....I tried other canyons some have the problem some don't.....This vibration started soon after I got it... 2000 RPM and above

Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com with more information (including your name and Edmunds username, contact information, the last 8 of your VIN and mileage, and the name of your dealership).

Even casual watchers of NASCAR auto racing know the guy to beat these days is Jimmie Johnson. What's more, they can tell you what kind of car he drives: the Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
Chevy, of course, pays lots of money to sponsor Johnson. And it does so gladly, happy to have its brand associated with success in the impressionable minds of millions of fans.
Growing up in a family of skiers, it was only a matter of time before U.S. Ski Teamer Travis Ganong found himself in a position to leave his mark on the international skiing community. So with the 2014 Winter Olympics right around the corner, Skiing caught up with the medal hopeful on his training, approach to the Games, and the future of the U.S. racing scene.
How has your training been going leading up to the Olympics.
Even without the injured Lindsey Vonn, winner of 59 World Cup races, the American alpine racing Olympic team looks one of the strongest ever. The U.S. Ski Team announced its Sochi team Sunday. It includes proven medal winners like Bode Miller, Ted Ligety and Julia Mancuso along with an Olympic newcomer—18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin—who's already demonstrated that she's the woman to beat in slalom and has been making impressive inroads in GS. The Games begin in just two weeks, starting with the men's downhill on Feb. 9 and the women's super combined on Feb. 10.
With some ups and downs in her Olympic career, Mammoth, Calif. skier Stacey Cook is hoping a trip to Sochi will be just the ticket to fulfill her gold medal hopes.
We caught up with her to find out more about those hopes and dreams.
When did you start racing Downhill?
Sarah Hendrickson is on top of the world. Well, technically, she's soaring above it. During the 2013 season, she won the World Championship and placed second at the World Cup. Now, she's working towards Sochi. And despite a knee injury this season that sidelined her, she's still hoping to represent the U.S. in Sochi.
The handicappers will be hard on Lindsey Van. She's going on 29, and has battled serious injury in recent years, starting with a knee-demolishing crash in 2008.
SKI » soon after taking over, you set a lofty goal: to become "best in the world." There were doubters—and a few snickers—but not anymore. What worked?
B.M. » When I started, we didn't have a core direction. Were we an event company? Sales- focused? A fundraising organization? What we are now is an organization about kids—about young people with aspirations. In order to pursue "best in the world," you have to remain completely focused on that vision at all times.
Georg Capaul has coached nearly every level of ski racer including Olympians. Now, a high school coach, we caught up with Capaul to talk about what makes a great racer and what his time coaching has taught him.
What are your qualifications as a coach?

"Women are the engine of the global economy, driving consumer purchasing…which means that women are the sex determining the fortunes of most consumer businesses," explains Bridget Brennan, CEO, The Female Factor and author of Why She Buys: The New Strategy for Reaching the World's Most Powerful Consumers. "I always say that if the consumer economy had a sex, it would be female, and if the business world had a sex, it would be male. Therein lies the pickle."
This power comes primarily from the fact that women are increasingly becoming the breadwinners of their households. "Almost all the income growth in the U.S. since 1970 has come from women's paychecks," Ms. Brennan adds. "Today, 70 percent of women with kids under 18 are earning a paycheck. While women have always been the gender doing much of the shopping, their economic power has grown significantly."
"There is no turning back," adds Maria Reitan, senior principal, Carmichael Lynch Spong and host of the women-to-women business radio show on WebmasterRadio FM, PurseStrings. "What we have experienced in the last three to four years is our 'new normal.'"
Impact on Baby Boomers
Perhaps the most affected, but less swayed by the economic troubles of late, are female baby boomers. Many have found themselves assisting their adult children via money and shelter, causing them to defer their own spending and visions for the future.
"The baby boomers are smack in the middle of four generations of need, but have always remained positive through the dark days of the economy," says Stephen Reily, founder of VibrantNation.com and co-author of Vibrant Nation: What Boomer Women 50+ Know, Think, Do & Buy. "When things began to fall apart, they were the ones with more savings and discretionary income. Yet, many were still forced to sacrifice their own plans and indulgences to take care of others."
A recent study by VibrantNation.com shows that while 44 percent of female baby boomers were raised to believe that a man would take care of them financially, 97 percent now say they have to take control over their financial future. This makes them great targets for financial service firms and others.
"They're feeling more resilient, but not necessarily more confident," Mr. Reily says. "They've been knocked down before, and they know it could happen again. But generally, they're excited about the future."
Remaining confident yet realistic, women are making their purchasing decisions based on not only whether a brand will work, but also if it will help solve a problem. And of course, a splurge every now and then isn't out of the question. "Women will still spend on luxury products that offer her great value," says Ms. Reitan. "Sure, she might not buy a new purse every year, but she's not about to purchase the knock off. She will invest her money in timeless products. She's also looking for luxury brands to offer her an 'experience' – and she has great expectations for that experience. It's not just about the glitz and glamour anymore. She wants these products to prove a certain benefit.

Where has the time gone!? Suddenly we are being thrown into the year of the apocalypse, a year where iPhone apps may completely eradicate personal trainers, yet beauty trends are reminiscent of every decade since the 1920s.
Thinking back on how the times have changed from then till now, when our friends over at the Las Vegas Hilton told us they're throwing their 2nd Annual Old School New Year's Eve Party with 105.7 The Oasis this year, we were inspired. Their party is complete with old-school music, dancing, party favors and a champagne toast at midnight, and we thought: what would you be doing/thinking/wearing this year if it wasn't 2012? If it was '91, '83, '98? Here's what you'd be up to (and what you'd be regretting come 2012):
Your New Year's Resolution, 1991: Get a Thighmaster
Many thanks to Suzanne Somers and her buns of steel on infomercials that dominated the early nineties, your weightloss resolution this year would have been to bust a move with your very own ThighMaster.
Your New Year's Midnight Kiss, 1983: Orange Lipstick
(with Matching Eyeshadow)
You'd be dancing in your legwarmers to Every Breath You Take by The Police (not Lauryn Hill) and rocking out to Billie Jean, complete with bright orange lips and orange eyeshadow to match.
Your Boyfriend's New Year's Eve Hairstyle, 1997: BLEACHED
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you! If we were ringing in 1997 this year, we'd be crooning along to N'Sync, and we would actually think our me looked sexy after their decision to bleach their entire head whitish-blond. Thankfully this phased out by the 21st century as we all realized how positively painful it was to look at.
Your New Year's Eve Day, 2000: Prepping for Y2K (with your Saddle Bag)
Whether it was real or fake, the Dior Saddle bag carried your stuff as you ran around to grocery stores, pharmacies and liquor stores, preparing for the end of the world as we know it. Y2K didn't exactly happen as expected, but at least you had your saddle bag.
Your Favorite New Year's Eve Cardio, 1998: Cotton Eye Joe
In '94, the Swedish band Rednex re-wrote the southern line dance that dates back all the way to pre-Civil War times. A couple years later it hit the States, and began to take over American dance floors in a big way in '97. By New Year's Eve of '98, there wasn't one New Year's Eve party that didn't giddy up, grab their partner and dance the Cotton Eye Joe. Where did you come from, where did you go!?
Your New Year's Resolution, 1993: The Atkins Diet
Created by Dr. Robert C Atkins in the 60s, the no-carb, high-protein "New Diet Revolution" made a resurgence in the early 90s as the fad weight loss tactic of the decade and beyond. It worked wonders for some, but for many, the second that first piece of pita bread hit their lips, they gained back every single pound. If this were New Year's 93 there's a very good chance you'd be resolving to live on steak and eggs for the rest of your life.
Your hair, New Year's Eve 1988: ABSURD
What may be your hangover morning hair in 2012 was the hottest style on earth back in the 80s hair band era. '88 was the year the movie Hairspray was released, and the 60s-based movie was a further reminder to keep the hair spray going strong. Morgan Fairchild epitomizes the decade with her teased tresses, and the style didn't fall flat until the mid nineties. Thank goodness for Jennifer Aniston!

Mission and Culture
School of Architecture Mission
The School of Architecture prepares students for the profession and practice of architecture. By developing an understanding of the design process as it embraces the interrelated and interdependent processes of planning, design, construction, and governance, the students develop the capability to recognize their ethical and societal responsibilities for improving the quality of our physical environment, and with it, our quality of life, for we respect our environment, resources, and fellow beings.
Learning Culture
The School's location in the College for Design and Social inquiry puts us in a collegial relationship with professions whose focus is also the well-being of the public. While the SoA faculty meet on a bi-weekly basis, the faculty in the College meets together at least once each semester to review the direction of the College and its integration with the University as a whole whose stated mission is to "foster excellence and innovation in teaching, outstanding research and creative activities". We subscribe to that mission as the items reflecting interdisciplinary. The University, College and School all subscribe to the values of mutual respect, sharing, engagement, encouragement and support between and among all the members of our community.
Studio Culture Policy
The studio culture policy was written by students giving them an opportunity to work in a unique and collaborative way with faculty and staff to better the educational experience for everyone. At Florida Atlantic University, we believe that studio learning should be the fundamental principle of encouraging the students to evolve in both their academic and professional careers. The studio offers an environment where students can collaborate to better their designs, ask questions, initiate discussions, and make proposals, which are developed and discussed among the students, faculty and staff.
The process of design inquiry and design action engages us as we explore the ritualized domains of human habitat, its cultures, programs, sites, and technologies, through history, theory, and practice. In pursuit of this aim, the School of Architecture has intellectual, ethical, and professional intentions.
- The intellectual intention empowers students as they prepare for a life of learning and practice. In architecture, practice must be accompanied by an ability to think in order to justify action. To this end, the choices made in the design process are based on the integration of rational and intuitive principles, which determine judgment.
- The ethical intention instills individual and public values through academic achievement and community involvement. Students, faculty, and the profession strive to reach the highest standards in the creation of architecture, and in the conservation of cultural heritage.
- The professional intention upholds the unity of design, and the shared responsibility of the allied professions and society at large in the commitment to responsible citizenship and improved quality of the built environment.

The ninth annual Holiday Cheer for FUV concert will bring an evening of collaboration to the Beacon Theatre: Iron & Wine and Friends, featuring Tucson-based Calexico as house band for a one-time evening of song and camaraderie. The show will take place Tuesday, December 10, at 8 PM and will benefit New York public radio station 90.7 FM WFUV. Joining will be songwriter/performer Nick Lowe, plus other artists to be announced.
Tickets are priced from $40 - $375 and go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, October 18, at 12 noon.
"Iron & Wine's Sam Beam sets a really high bar artistically," said WFUV Program Director Rita Houston. "The idea of bringing him together with other artists he admires appealed both to him and to us. We expect some creative sparks to fly and for the audience to hear some familiar songs in new ways. It should be a night of music discovery for everyone."

Here are some the new Rogue Trader books I'd like to see:
Bestiary part 2. Cause you can never have too many monsters.
Xenos Starship Codex with hulls and components, for Eldar, Rakgol, and Ork, so you can buld your own xenos ships.
A new ship book, not only with new hulls and components, but also rules for bulding stations.
A faction book, with new charachter options, equipment, antagonists, and ships, for various factions. Thulean explorers, pirates, Imperial Navy, Rogue Traders, ect.
A vehicle book. This is desperately needed. Not only rules for Imperial vehicles, but also small craft and lighters, and xenos vehicles as well. Perhaps with a system to build your own.
A book of eandeavours. This book is also desperately needed, hopefull with a better economic system.
A dynasty book for Rogue Traders. A book with options to builed dynasties and examples of holdings and estates.
Anybody else got any ideas?
I get the feeling FFG is looking for new inspiration, so now's the time if you have any ideas.

Welcome back Fea!
Congrats to Asa!
Glad you enjoyed seeing everyone at church, Tinu!
Ax, I agree with your sentiment and understand your frustration, but do try and limit the language on Earthsong. In (or on!) your letters I don't mind, but the forums are pretty buttoned down.
Last night I noticed a trend. I'm withdrawing, becoming more isolated from everyone. Like, everyone. This is distressing, I always assumed I would stop that trend a few years ago. At this point... well, I just don't like where it's leading me.
Today I have a few errands to run.
Today I groove to a Symphony of Science.
Today I really wish I could take more than an extremely shallow breath. I'm having trouble getting enough air

Today I planned to go to class, grab a quick cup of coffee with the girl who sits next to me in Psychology, and go back to school to work on my English homework and my research paper for history. Instead I ended up sitting in a coffee shop for something like three and a half hours discussing just about everything under the sun.
I'm really happy about this. I've never made friends easily, and the fact that I so very randomly met someone with whom I get along with so well? It seems almost miraculous, to me. It was even odder when I found out that she's an English major as well. We're really similar, too, as far as world view, politics, and religion go--which is saying something, since I have a rather odd way of looking at everything.
Today my speech for Public Speaking did not go well. At all.
Today I was walking by someone I knew, so I kind of waved and said "Hi." They looked at me and asked, "Are you ok?" I was, and said so. Then they said something along the lines of "You look like you're headed out to do something important--like go fire someone, or something." The number of people(many of them complete strangers) who have walked by me and said "Smile!" has been increasing lately. I'm beginning to wonder if I really do look so gloomy all the time. Oo;

Today I have internet access for the first time in 6 days. But not at home. I'm in uni because a certain telecommunications company has messed up my home internet. They initially said 24 hours. 144 hours later and no improvement? I might have to ring up and be polite at them.
Yesterday I got home from a tough weekend. I went home to see my folks. I know it was good for them and I think it was good for me too, but I don't want to leave them. I'm back in a couple of weeks anyway, but it was really tough when I saw my Dad's face when I arrived. It's not often I see him cry. I told my Mum about thinking about maybe deferring uni and the look on her face told me I made the right choice in deciding against it. There was fury there! I love my family, which is why I cried on the journey back north.

Today I thought I missed a class, then discovered the lecturer was ill and so it was cancelled. ^_^
Hard getting out of bed when it's nine degrees outside the covers. With the heater running full whack it's improved to twelve. Need some form of insulation in this place.
May post more when I get back if I survive the crossing. It's a twenty thumper ride.

The sociology course has killed my enthusiasm for today. Let's see, these must be a few of you I haven't responded to. In addition to coffee that'll be cheering.

Poor Nem. I know what you mean about the meds. I stopped taking mine more than a year ago, it's been at this point. And also, I think it's less usual for an undegrad to have done as much reading in his field as you apparently have. Alternatively, it's less usual for a pre-undergrad to know what he wants to do as clearly as you apparently did. Before I started my major I'd read only two or three books about linguistics, which were what convinced me about what I wanted to do - but I certainly didn't go and take out the whole library section about it.
Or maybe that's more a statement about my lack of academic zeal than it is about your overabundance of it. *shrugs and smiles*
I don't read a lot of philosophy. People always seem to think I do, but I don't. I read good philosophy. Hume for instance - the go to guy for religion and some basic epistomology; Hobbes, Rosseau - political theory; Nietzsche - morality, empowering your own aesthetics. And then you get those anthologies that are just little snippets of the key arguments from classical philosophy - they're great.
Most of the stuff out nowadays in philosophy is really awful. Twenty pages to say a paragraph's worth of content.
More tools, less reading. Like Heinlein said: 'Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.'
*Hands round cookies and coffee and smiles*
Wow that'd be really weird, handing round smiles.

Neh, trade offs. We were having a debate about torture. I went to give my points which'd normally be 'Here's the practical concerns and how you get around them.... Here's the theoretical justifications you can give yourselves....' Got about halfway through and my mental notes were just gone. <_< Finished rather lamely with 'and that's all I have to say.'
Dang it I meant to be happy today. Went to the trouble of getting out of bed and everything =p

That's because people are programmed to write essays--which as we all know, is saying in ten pages what can be said in a paragraph or less. It does really terrible things to people's writing, believe me.
Today, after have a worry-inspired bout of insomnia, I have decided not to go to a concert next week. If I went, I would have to miss two days of Photography, and that would leave me with only about four days to turn in three projects. Which is pretty much impossible. Unless I was the only person working in the darkroom. Which isn't going to happen.

I cant tell you how much that annoys me. When Im concentrating I have a habit of frowning but this doesnt mean Im angry or upset and my default expression is not smile so when a complete stranger walks up to me and tells me to smile it does not immediately make me happy. Even if I was genuinely annoyed by something somebody telling me to smile is not going to solve my problems.
I can understand that maybe theyre trying to help but what on Earth makes them think that if Im upset somebody saying cheer up love is actually going to be helpful?
Today university has been alright. The lecture wasn't great but at least we had one and it was slightly useful. Some people however are worried about our lecturer or running out of patience with her.
Last year this lecturer was very ill and took the whole year off, she's back now but so far shes cancelled two lectures and one seminar and some people have her as their dissertation supervisor. I know at least two people who havent been able to meet her yet because she keeps cancelling meetings. Were seven weeks in to the course and some people havent spoken with her about their dissertation, that just isnt right.
Im worried about her and Im worried about my course, if she cant teach it then she needs to say that and just find another way of dealing with the whole thing but she cant keep cancelling our lectures. And worse, she cancels lectures and then when we should be making up for lost time she does stupid things like teaching a room full of third year students how to make
mind maps
My seminar on Monday was cancelled and shes going to arrange a replacement one for Wednesday, however, on Wednesday I will either be at conservation training at the museum or horse riding, if this seminar clashes with either of those Im just not going.
I think what makes it so annoying is that I can't be mad at her for it, if she's ill, she's ill and I can't lodge a complaint because 'my lecturer is ill'. I'd feel better if I could be mad at someone!
In summary: Today Britland is frustrated.

Brit, I agree completely. My default expression is kind of blank, or a bit frowny--because I tend to get lost in thought quite a bit. The first few times it happened, it was almost funny, but now it's just starting to get a bit annoying.

I've been told the same. My father is the same way, too. His default expression doesn't look angry, per se, just not
. Mine is the same way, though I
been known to smile constantly in some situations. Particularly when visiting or hanging out with friends. If people catch me on the street, they often think I'm scowling at something.
Oh, the number of times I get asked if something is wrong. I've just started answering yes, and then not elaborating. Watch the gears turn in their heads.
Ah, er... maybe I'm... maybe I should not do that. That's not very nice of me, is it? ^^;
Today I set up my Google Docs account as a network drive in Nautilus (Ubuntu Linux's file managing software). I am right now looking at the contents of my entire Google Docs account as if it were a folder on my computer. :3
Interestingly, it would appear that Google Docs stores documents in an .odt format for text, .ods for spreadsheets, and so on. It makes perfect sense that Google would use OpenOffice, but it's just amusing to me.
Today I failed to get in contact with the doctor. I'm not keen on going to the emergency care center, I'm really not. Here's to hoping that the cough begins breaking up some of the garbage making it impossible for me to breathe. Fortunately the weather was warm today, so breathing was pretty easy overall. There were still many times I was out of breath, but today it didn't hurt.
Can't wait to see a doctor about this. Wouldn't mind being able to breathe. Seems to be a pretty essential function, you know? ^^;
Today, I realized I have more muscles than I did a year ago. In places I didn't have before, anyway. Particularly, my upper body is a lot stronger than it used to be. So is my back and sides. My legs remain pretty strong, but now with effort I can do all
of fun things with my arm muscles. I can even watch different muscles and tendons tightening and flexing with each individual finger moving! Okay, maybe I'm just odd.
Today I did very little else of note other than working, so I have no idea why I'm
so tired

Today I am a happy Britland.
Today I went to the museum for a meeting about volunteering there. I'm going to be doing object handling where visitors can handle some of the artefacts. I've signed up to work at the coins table and today they let us see some of the samples they'll have at the tables. My favourite was an Athenian coin.
I had to miss my riding lesson for the meeting and I'll have to miss it next week for conservation training but hopefully after that I won't miss any more.
My friends and I are organising a trip to Sweden in January which I'm really looking forward to. My friend booked the trip today. Yay!
Also, I don't think I've mentioned it here but my parents got kittens at the weekend! They're called Merlin and Juno, brother and sister. They were left at a cat sanctuary and fostered by two different people so they're very timid but they're getting confident. Merlin doesn't run away from us anymore, Juno is running away less and both of them are letting us approach them more often.

NFL fines Brian Urlacher for horse-collar tackle
BY SEAN JENSEN Twitter: @SeanKJensen December 6, 2012 9:40AM
The Bears Brian Urlacher meets the Seahawks Marshawn Lynch in the backfield in the first quarter at Soldier Field December 2, 2012. | Curtis Lehmkuhl~Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 6, 2012 11:07AM
The 23-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday was a costly one for Brian Urlacher.
Not only did the Bears middle linebacker strain his right hamstring, Urlacher was also fined $21,000 for a horse collar tackle on Seahawks running back Leon Washington late in the second quarter, according to a league source.
That's his second violation in as many weeks.
On the play, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson completed a screen pass to Washington on 2nd and 8 from Seattle's 39-yard line. Urlacher appeared to grab Washington in the back and pulled him down, with the running back landing on top of him.
Urlacher was fined $15,750 the week before for a horse collar tackle against Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. It's believed he won his appeal and had that one reduced.
According to the 2012 fine schedule, a second horse collar tackle offense costs $31,500. But Urlacher was fined $21,000 instead. He'll likely appeal that one, as well.

Hamilton Association for Volunteering, Outreach and Charity encourages students to get off their couches, get off the Hill, and get into the community to create change. As a part of the largest student-led organization at Hamilton, HAVOC volunteers make new friends, build leadership skills, and, most importantly, make a difference in people's lives every time they volunteer.
HAVOC has numerous opportunities to get involved and volunteer and can fit anyone's schedule.
In what has become an annual tradition, Hamilton Association for Volunteering Outreach and Charity (HAVOC) and Community Opportunity and Outreach Project (COOP) collected food, gifts and other items to make the holidays a bit happier for some local families in need.
HAVOC sponsored a holiday Mitten Tree bearing gift requests from children in need and collected 84 gifts that included toys, teddy bears and hats and mittens.
COOP held an employee drive and collected 26 bags of food, 6-8 gifts each for 10 children at United Cerebral Palsy (UCP), 30 items for House of Good Shepherd residential cottages, and more than $700 in monetary donations that will be used to buy gifts for UCP, House of the Good Shepherd, Johnson Park Center and Hope House.
More than 150 Hamilton students took part in this year's annual Hamilton Association for Volunteering Outreach and Charity (HAVOC) Make a Difference Day. Dressed in bright green HAVOC t-shirts, students signed up for a wide range of volunteer opportunities to engage in for the day, from homes for the elderly to animal sanctuaries. Some arrived as individuals, others in groups of two or three, and many others preregistered in groups of eight or more, representing a variety of student organizations around campus. All students came with one united purpose in mind: to reach out to the greater community around Hamilton.
Students were dispatched to volunteer sites around the Rome, Utica, Clinton, Oneida, and Bouckville areas. Sites included the Rome Humane Society animal shelter, Chanatry's Hometown Market in Utica, Rome Clean and Green, and Chenango Canal. Despite the large diversity in the destinations, students expressed a general feeling of fulfillment and engagement, regardless of where they volunteered.
Prior to departure for individual volunteer sites, HAVOC Director and Community Opportunity and Outreach Project (COOP) Senior Fellow Danielle Lashley '13 addressed all volunteers with a few words of encouragement. She emphasized that "The sites you'll be visiting love having Hamilton students," and volunteer site employees "love having [students] come back, year after year." Amy James, Director of COOP, then spoke to the sizable crowd. She stressed that, even though some students may encounter somewhat menial task assignments, it is important to remember that "whatever you're doing out there means a lot" to the organizations that students visit.
At the Spring Farms Cares animal sanctuary and adoption center, five students worked with shelter employees to fold freshly-washed linens, clean cat room floors, and show dozens of cats care and attention. Spring Farms Cares is a no-kill sanctuary that houses and nurtures approximately 250 animals daily, including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, and one goose.
Founded in the late 1980s as a nonprofit organization, the shelter aims to rescue as many pets as possible while educating the public about spaying and neutering pets. As Kim Robertson, the animal care manager at Spring Farms Cares explained, the organization ultimately aims for enough "animals for every home, but not animals without homes." She went on to say that to keep Spring Farms running, the shelter relies on its volunteers, some of whom come from Hamilton weekly, though employees welcome students on any day of the week.
Andrea Blood '13, who has participated in three previous Make a Difference Days, found her time at Spring Farms cares to be a positive experience since interacting with the animals "helped the cats, especially those who had been abused, to become reacclimatized to a friendly human environment and prepare them for eventual adoption." Her fellow volunteers echoed this sentiment, and one student requested the shelter's contact information so that she may return on her own for further volunteering.
Students at Dunham Public Library had an equally rewarding and enjoyable experience, working to help sort and organize books as well as a variety of other projects, including setting up crafts for a children's workshop for Grandparents' Day. Brian Sobotko '16 believes that Make a Difference Day represents the opportunity to "get to leave the Hamilton Community and interact with the general community around us." Jane Barnard '13 added that the group worked well together, making seemingly tedious tasks such as sorting books fun.
The Dunham Public Library group also featured six students from BSLU, who preregistered together to ensure that they could work as a team at one site. Sara Wortman '15, the Philanthropy Chair of BSLU, believes that participating in Make a Difference Day is "one of the steps toward building a [Hamilton student] presence off-campus."
In light of all the effort and tireless planning that goes into such a large-scale event, Lashley views this year's Make a Difference Day as a success. One group of students even approached her on the day of the event in the hopes of scheduling regular volunteering trips to the site they visited. Lashley explained, "That is one of those amazing moments when a group of students finds their volunteer niche—where they really feel like they can make a difference (pun intended) and are passionate about sustaining the contribution in the long-term."
April 9-14 marked the first Hamilton Association for Volunteering, Outreach, and Charity (HAVOC) Outreach Awareness Week at Hamilton. The purpose of Awareness Week, dubbed "Burst the Bubble," was to illustrate volunteer opportunities at Hamilton and to stress the value of community outreach. HAVOC sponsored and organized a variety of volunteer opportunities, speakers and events throughout the week, culminating with SpringFest on Saturday.
Last semester HAVOC surveyed the student body and found that many felt that they did not know how to get involved with volunteering at Hamilton. Outreach Awareness Week was therefore designed to help students get more involved in the local community and to help show why outreach is so important. HAVOC Executive Board Events Coordinators Samantha Schwartz '13 and Jake Blumenfeld '15 were the leaders in organizing and carrying out the events of the week. "We (at Hamilton) are in a perfect location to make real change in our community," said Schwartz.
Throughout the week HAVOC's regular volunteer sites ran, such as mentoring children at Johnson Park Center in Utica, assisting the elderly at the Lutheran Home in Clinton, and taking care of animals at Spring Farm Cares in Clinton.
In addition, HAVOC sponsored a variety of special events. Hamilton athletes played basketball and soccer with children from the Neighborhood Center in Utica and Kids Oneida.
Three Hamilton alumni and Career Center counselor Leslie Bell spoke in a panel about what it's like to work in a non-profit and how to pursue a career in that sector, and Tyrone Pitts and Rev. Ursula Meier from Johnson Park Center served as the week's keynote speakers. Pitts and. Meier spoke about their personal experiences with addiction and recovery, and their work today helping people get their second chance through places like Johnson Park Center. The non-profit organization provides emergency supportive housing for women, children and families, as well as a range of community-based support services in the areas of nutrition, recreation, mentoring and advocacy.
The week came to a close with SpringFest on Saturday, a day of community building between Hamilton and Clinton families. Thirteen campus clubs ran booths with crafts, games and food, in addition to performances by Hamilton a cappella groups.
Blumenfeld believes that the events of Outreach Awareness week had a great impact on Hamilton students. "It was a privilege witnessing children from the surrounding areas engage in sports on campus. The look of joy on their faces and the support I received from the faculty and students made this week all the more special," said Blumenfeld.
The week was a great hit, but HAVOC Director Danielle Lashley '13 hopes that it will be even more successful in the future. "It is always hard introducing a new event on campus," said Lashley, "but the next time we host Awareness Week the campus will be familiar with the mission of the week, and we will hopefully get even more attendance."
HAVOC hopes that the events of Outreach Awareness Week will encourage more Hamilton students to get more involved with volunteering and "bursting the bubble" between Hamilton and the local community now and in the future.
More than 100 students went out to serve the local community on Saturday, Jan. 21, for Hamilton's 14th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Service Day. Hamilton Association for Volunteering, Outreach and Charity ( HAVOC) sent groups of students to 17 different sites to volunteer for the afternoon. More ...
Sixteen teams battled for the title of Hamilton College dodgeball champions. Some teams were groups of friends, others were off-season sports teams, and still others fraternities or sororities. One thing they all had in common, however, was a desire to support Global Goodness, a non-profit that aims to bring increased educational materials to students in some of the world's poorest countries.

Bleeding Ulcers: Symptoms and Causes
What Are the Symptoms and Causes of Bleeding Ulcers?
Inflammation in the stomach may cause a small crater, or ulcer, to form. If there happens to be a blood vessel under the ulcer, a lot of bleeding can develop and then the symptoms aren't so subtle. The patient may vomit blood, or the blood may pass into the intestine, get digested, and come out as black, tarry stools.
Bleeding ulcers are a big deal. Often having endoscopy is diagnostic and therapeutic. A gastroenterologist can use a fiberoptic camera to view the inside of the stomach and duodenum, searching for a source of bleeding. If a blood vessel is leaking, it's possible to cauterize or burn the blood vessel and take care of the problem right away.

Kasey Kahne Celebrates Birthday By Remembering His Roots ... Racing A Sprint Car at Attica
Friday, 03 April 2009
By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH)
Kasey Kahne knows where his racing career began - in a sprint car on the dirt tracks across the United States. Now a star in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driving the Budweiser #9 for Richard Petty Motorsports, Kahne will return to his racing roots as he celebrates his 29th birthday on April 10. Kahne will pilot a 410 sprint car at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, during both nights of the HD Supply Spring Nationals, April 10 and 11, competing against the tough weekly warriors and the O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions.
"Attica is a great track and I have always loved racing here. We do not get very many weekends off during the Sprint Cup season so it is cool that I get my birthday off. I look forward to getting back into a winged sprint car and having some fun," said Kahne.
The Enumclaw, Washington native loves the action of the light weight, 800 horse power sprint cars so much, he owns two teams on the national World of Outlaws tour with drivers Joey Saldana and Craig Dollansky, and a United States Auto Club sprint and midget team with driver Brad Sweet.
Kasey Kahne fans will have the opportunity meet him and obtain autographs during special fan sessions at Attica on both nights of racing.
"We appreciate Kasey's love for dirt track racing and look forward to seeing him in action on Easter weekend. We do ask fans show their respect by keeping their distance during the night's racing so that Kasey can enjoy himself and have some fun. Kasey is very accommodating to the fans and will give of his time to sign autographs during the appropriate times," said Rex LeJeune, Attica Raceway Park Operations Director.
Attica's gates open Friday, April 10, at 4:30 p.m. with racing action set to heat up at 7:45 p.m. Joining the All Star sprints will be the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Models. General admission tickets are $18 for adults; $15 for senior citizens; $10 for teens 11-15 years of age; and kids 10 and under are free. A pit pass is $30.
Attica will open the gates on Saturday, April 11, at 3:30 p.m. with racing to begin at 7:30 p.m. Joining the All Star sprints will be the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints. General admission tickets are $22 for adults; $20 for senior citizens; $10 for teens 11-15 years of age; and kids 10 and under are free. A pit pass is $30.
The Attica Spring Nationals traditionally kick off the northern racing season for the O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions. The Spring Nationals date back to 1992 and have had such winners as Frankie Kerr, now a NASCAR Sprint Cup crew chief; local racing hot shoes Mark Keegan, Byron Reed and Brock Mayes; World of Outlaws drivers Craig Dollansky, Joey Saldana, Chad Kemenah, Terry McCarl, Stevie Smith, Danny Smith, Jeff Shepard and Kenny Jacobs; All Star champions Dale Blaney and Greg Wilson; ASCS champion Gary Wright; and in 2008, Pennsylvania Posse member Lance Dewease added his name to the records. And occasionally there's the upset like in 1996 when local racer Bobby Teeple and his under-funded team recorded the win.
The weekend promises action-packed, exciting racing. So call 419-680-5606 now for ticket information.

I spent the better part of yesterday late-afternoon reading the September issue of Vogue. All 758 pages of it. I repeat, 758 pages. I mean, yes. A good 80% of it was ads, but ads are interesting too. Color is back, Kate Moss had the most beautiful wedding in the history of the universe and all the high fashion brands are still doing hideous 20s hair in their ads. And Marc Jacobs has gone officially gone off the deep end with his campaign with Helena Bonham Carter.
Which is all to say that it is most definitely time for some Giants baseball.
The Giants are certain to have some September issues of their own- and not necessarily in a good way- but either way we are now totally in the home stretch of the season, the young guys are up with the Major League club and I am so ready for this series against Arizona. I think this has replaced the Chicago series as the Most Important Series of the year and what better time/place for that than a Friday night in the city? Excited does not even begin to cut it. The lovely new and improved Giants are taking the field and I cannot wait to see what happens.
And by the way? I was smiling and giggling over the whole Giants-are-honey-badgers-because-they-eat-snakes thing until I googled honey badgers. I imagined them as vaguely mythical and most certainly adorable creatures, because of the "honey" in their name, I think.
Uh, no.
I am going to have nightmares about these things. That's not even the creepiest photo I saw. Can the Giants just be unicorns or something? Please?
