Why Dirty Streets of Heaven Writer Tad Williams Isn't Going to Hell … Probably

These days, Tad Williams is a best-selling writer, but once he was a struggling author waiting to hear back from a publisher on his first novel. That's when he hatched a devilish scheme to force the editors to take a look at his book — he asked them to send back a copy of his manuscript, explaining that his copies had been destroyed in a flood.

"I was also hoping like hell that they didn't know that basically California was in the middle of an eight-year drought, and that there's almost no such thing as basements in California," says Williams in this week's episode of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast.
The publisher ended up buying the book, and is still Williams' publisher 30 years later. He became good friends with editor Betsy Wollheim and her husband, Peter, who'd been the one to laboriously photocopy the 500-page manuscript. It was years before Williams finally fessed up.
"To Peter's great credit, and probably the thing that will keep me out of hell for this one, he immediately forgave me and laughed and thought it was a really good idea," says Williams.
Read our complete interview with Tad Williams below, in which he discusses his new novel, The Dirty Streets of Heaven, a noir mystery about an earth-bound angel who gets caught up in a plot involving missing souls. Or listen to the interview in Episode 69 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast (above), which also features a panel discussion between hosts John Joseph Adams and David Barr Kirtley and guest geek Genevieve Valentine about angels and heaven in fantasy and science fiction.
Wired: Tell us about your new book The Dirty Streets of Heaven. What's it about?
Tad Williams: The initial idea was about the similar nature between the standard version of heaven versus hell — the classic, Western, Judeo-Christian idea that has developed — and the way that the Cold War was actually run, where the whole thing was sort of happening under the surface and all of the struggle was to an extent not noticed by most people most of the time.
The main character, Bobby Dollar, is an earth-bound angel who's part of the process of earthly souls being judged after the people die. But then things begin to get stranger, and other odd things happen in the Cold War between heaven and hell, and he winds up in a lot deeper than he had expected. So on one level it's a fantasy — it's about angels, it's about demons, it's about all that stuff. On another level, it's also very much, I think, similar to a crime novel in its characters and approach.
Wired: When you're writing a book where the protagonist works for God, if God is all-powerful, is it a challenge then to create problems for your protagonist?
Williams: Well, one of the interesting things about the book, I think, is that how the universe really works is not necessarily apparent to the minions down at the bottom end, of which our main character is one. Nobody he knows has ever met God, just as an example. The heavenly bureaucracy is huge and complicated, and the people at the bottom have only the dimmest idea of where their orders are coming from.
Wired: I've always wondered why the forces of hell would show up at Armageddon if they know they're going to lose. But in your book, you suggest that they think they're going to win.
Williams: Yeah. I think Bobby actually says something to the effect of that they think that's all just PR and that they have a perfectly good chance to win, and since they sort of represent the chaos side of things — I don't know how well you know Michael Moorcock's cosmology of law and chaos. It wasn't intentional — though I'm a big Moorcock fan — but the way it worked out as I was thinking these things through is that heaven winds up being sort of like Ultimate Law in Moorcock's version of things, which is something that doesn't change. It's very static. It's all about the same frequency of reward and existence, and it just keeps going on and on and on and on.
Hell is much more dynamic, because the — and this is the main character's presumption, I tend not to step in as the narrator in this, because it's being told by the main character — but the main character's presumption is that hell has to be varied, otherwise punishment is no longer effective, because it becomes familiar. So hell has to be something where your punishment surprises you, and part of your punishment is that there is no getting used to things because you never know what will happen next. That's a very simplified version, but that's one of the main differences. So hell is quite dynamic and changing. It's very feudal. It's very much about "whoever has the power makes the rules." In heaven that's true also, but you don't know who made the rules. The rules have all been made and they're not changing.
Wired: I really enjoyed the angel and demon names in the book. To what extent are those drawn from folklore and to what extent did you just make them up?
Williams: A lot of them come from traditional folklore — as I'm sure you know, a lot of angel names are in fact the names of religious figures or deities and things like that that were supplanted by Christianity, in most cases. Both the demons and the angels. And then some of them I have in fact made up.
Wired: What about the demon names like "Grasswax" and "Howlingfell"?
Williams: In a lot of cases I am taking things like that — the names of the common order of demons — I'm sort of inventing a pseudo-medieval sort of name, like the kinds of things that used to come up in witch trials. You know, where the women would admit the devil had sent them a familiar named such and such, and they always had these kind of odd, little, strangely domestic names that didn't really sound very dramatically devilish, but clearly this had become the common currency at the time for what demon servants would be called.
An example just off the top my head would be, say, Lovecraft's "Brown Jenkin." That was probably also based on these medieval stories where they were named things like "Creeper" or "Black Pat," or just these very prosaic names. So that's where I got that, but as I said a lot of the names are actually invented, and I have to do that in part just because I tend to have so many names in even a very short book like this that I work very carefully to keep them from being too similar-sounding.

The second American aid worker who was recently diagnosed with Ebola in west Africa has arrived in the Atlanta area for treatment.
She arrived in a jet at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, about 11:25 a.m. Tuesday.
After noon, an ambulance left the base.
The patient will be treated at an isolated unit at Emory University Hospital.
Although hospital officials haven't released her identity, the aid group she was working with has identified her as 59-year-old Nancy Writebol.
SIM says Writebol remains in serious but stable condition.
Dr. Kent Brantly, with North Carolina-based Samaritan's Purse, arrived in Atlanta for treatment Saturday. Both contracted Ebola while treating patients in Liberia.
Ebola has killed at least 887 people in four West African countries in what's considered one of the largest outbreaks ever.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

If procrastinating and waiting till the last minute is your MO, then be aware that time is running out to lock in the $8/month price tag for All Access, Google's music streaming service. Introduced at Google I/O back in May, many folks have already cancelled other streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify in favor of All Access, allowing them to bring all of their subscription services under one roof. Once July starts, the service will cost new subscribers $10 a month. Not that bad, but still $2 more than early adopters. (more…)
Google Music
Google Music Update Introduces New Bandwidth Usage Setting, Reduced Data Usage Overall
In the weeks following the announcement of Google Music All Access, we wrote up a piece detailing a semi-serious issue that could arise should someone use the service alongside their tiered data plan. Since the new music service lacked any sort of data usage or bandwidth controls, one could gobble up massive amounts of data in no time at all without even realizing it. By bringing the issue to light, we hoped for a change to the app from Google that would give users better control over bandwidth usage. An update to solve this problem has arrived today. (more…)
Reminder to Early Adopters: Free 30-Day Trial for Google Music All Access is About to Expire, Monthly Fee to Kick in
If you signed up for the free trial of Google Music All Access shortly after it was announced at Google I/O, then prepare to either pay a monthly fee going forward or cancel, as your free trial is close to ending. The 30-day free trial for many of us who signed up immediately, expires in a few days, which Google has kindly reminded us of in an email.
Keep in mind that if you become a paid customer before June 30, and since you started the trial before that date, you can lock-in for $7.99 per month. If you don't start a trial or paid service before June 30, the service will run you $9.99 per month. (more…)
Google Music Update Gives You the Power to Delete Tracks, Remove Items From My Library
Google Music received an update this afternoon that includes the ability to delete tracks, along with sharing of songs and adding to playlists from the Now Playing screen. Oh, they also gave the app the option to remove albums or songs from My Library. That's pretty much it.
The update is available now, sort of. Google appears to be fully invested in the new rollouts for app updates that was introduced at I/O. So while the Play store may say that the app update is live and available, you'll have to be patient as you wait for it to become available to you specifically. (more…)
Google Music All Access Can Eat Data Like No Other, Be Careful Tiered Data Folks
One of the biggest announcements to come out of Google I/O last week was Google's new streaming music service called Google Play Music All Access. It's like Spotify meets Pandora, in that you can check out any album at any time, play them as many times as you'd like, or use them to create special radio stations. It works on both mobile and desktop and is currently available as a free trial, but will jump up to a monthly subscription service once the trial ends. You can sign-up before the end of June and lock in for $7.99 per month, however, the price will go up to $9.99 on July 1. It's pretty awesome, though, that's for sure.
But for many of you who are considering a move to All Access from something like Spotify, there is something you should consider should you have had the unfortunate pleasure of moving to a tiered data plan with your wireless carrier (shared data plans included). All Access lacks any sort of control over the quality of the music that is streaming through your device, meaning it can eat up data in minutes. (more…)
Monday Poll: Enjoying More – New Hangouts or New Google Music All Access?
Now that you have had four or five days to fully dive into two of Google I/O's biggest announcements – Hangouts and Play Music All Access – we thought it was time to see who is garnering most of your attention. I've fully committed to the new Hangouts and am already figuring out how to convince friends and family to make the permanent switch over. All Access on the other hand is sitting in limbo on my devices, since it is not compatible with the Nexus Q for the time being. See, I use Google Music quite a bit in my office, but only through the Q, so I'm unable to take advantage of my free trial at this point. I'd certainly like to use the hell out of it – just can't for now. Tim on the other hand, is an All Access machine and couldn't stop using it the entire time we were at I/O.
So what about you? Are you using both? If so, which is taking up most of your time?
Video: Overview of New Google Play Music and All Access
Now that Google I/O is wrapping up here in San Francisco and we finally have a chance to take a minute and breathe, we decided to sit down and do an overview of the new Google Play Music app along with its accompanying All Access service. Announced on Wednesday as a subscription-based Pandora and Spotify competitor, All Access is an important piece to the media puzzle for Google. The future of music appears to be in streaming services. (more…)
Nexus Q Officially "Incompatible" With Latest Version of Google Music (Updated)
Not only did we not get a new version of the Nexus Q yesterday at Google I/O, but to make matters worse, anyone who has one of the original versions from last year has found that they can no longer use the media center with the newest version of Google Music. Once the new version of music has been installed on your phone, there isn't an option to switch over to the Q. That's right, the number one reason to own a Q is now not even an option. (more…)

Jonathan Chait wonders why the expected campaign finance imbalance between the Presidential candidates hasn't panned out.

One of the reasons is a little-known campaign finance law which mandates that political campaigns get the lowest [...]

Romney Borrows Primary Money Against Banked General Election Dollars, Shows the Value of Borrowing |

When Mitt Romney started raising serious money for his Presidential run throughout the summer there was one hitch. He was getting checks from a lot of big money donors that were back-loaded. The donors maxed out for the primary election and the general election, which meant half of their money couldn't get spent until he [...]

It's 4 a.m. and torrents of rain pour down on a dusty roadside New Mexico diner. Inside, an innocuous looking salesman sips coffee while catching up on his fishing magazines. After the front door creaks open, an unusual looking man startles the salesman by sitting down at his table and displaying frightening drawings that send the salesman fleeing for the safety of his car.
We meet Agent Thomas Mackelway on his first day of work at the Albuquerque field office of the FBI. Mackelway, wrestling with secrets and demons from his past, is plagued by headaches and feels that he is being watched. And in fact he is ... but by whom?
Mackelway finds himself mysteriously drawn into a bizarre series of murders : the salesman from the diner found dead in his car on the deserted New Mexico border; a sixth grade teacher from Boulder,Co., discovered in an abandoned vehicle in the diner parking lot; and Mackelay's own personal nemesis, killed while attacking a young girl. Mackelway's former partner, Fran Kulok, who knows Mackelway's deepest secrets, is sent to Albuquerque to assist him on the case. Together, they set out to solve on the case. Together, they set out to solve this lethal puzzle. What do these murders have in common?
The case becomes increasingly personal as Mackelway's determination turns to obsession. The killer seems to be taunting him, faxing him hundreds of maddening chilling clues, all of which point to a cunning renegade named Benjamin O'Ryan. Trained in a secret government remote viewing program which enabled five elite agents to get into the hearts and minds of killers and their victims, O'Ryan became consumed with tracking the ultimate manifestation of a killer - Suspect Zero.
Tortured by identifying with both the victims and their victimizers, has O'Ryan's obsession caused him to become the very thing he is trying to bring to justice? While O'Ryan continues to track Suspect Zero, Mackelway is tracking O'Ryan and must confront humanity's darkest side in order to go after the rogue who has "gone native".
What happens when pursuer and prey come face to face? Will rational justice or primal revenge prevail? Can Mackelway stop Suspect Zero before he strikes again? Is O'Ryan chasing Suspect Zero, or has he in fact become Suspect Zero? Who's next? Find out on August 27th ...

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – Gov. Dennis Daugaard has appointed a commission to come up with ideas for celebrating South Dakota's 125th anniversary of statehood in 2014.
The group will seek ideas from the public until Oct. 1 on how to promote South Dakota's history, increase tourism and encourage state and local events such as all-school reunions.
Daugaard says funding for the celebration will come from licensing the commercial use of a 125th anniversary logo.
The commission includes State Historical Society Director Jay Vogt, State Historical Society President Brad Tennant, Black Hills State University administrator David Wolff, Oglala Sioux tribal historic preservation specialist Joyce Whiting, state Rep. Bernie Hunhoff, state Rep. Leslie Heinemann, South Dakota Municipal League Director Yvonne Taylor, Jim Larson of Sioux Falls, and 1989 Centennial Commission chair Shelley Stingley.

This was on sale for five bucks at Vicky's. It is a starfruit and white orchid blend, but has more evident fruity notes than floral notes. Overall, I really like it. It does smell very tropical and is light enough for hot days. I just wish the sillage was a bit better. I think I had about a couple hours of wear. Maybe I will purchase the matching lotion next time to see if that helps. Spraying directly on clothes seems to help with longevity. I can see myself using this during spring and summer more often.
I think Such a Flirt is a hidden gem. To me, this smells very tropical and reminds me of Marc Jacobs original, except a bit lighter and fruitier. VS almost always has promotions going on with the fantasies, so the price is good - you can mix and match. I love the color of the liquid (random) and I don't think the silliage is overpowering at all. Nice, light, definitely white floral, and perfect for spring!

:: Entrepreneurship Webinar
Eli Mercer teaches courses on entrepreneurship at The University of Texas at Austin. |
Webinar Explores Characteristics of Successful Entrepreneurs
Eli Mercer teaches entrepreneurship courses for both University Extension (UEX) and the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin. In this webinar, he explores some of the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.
What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur?
Like many artists, leaders and visionaries throughout history, entrepreneurs are often misunderstood. Some entrepreneurs have become legendary, larger-than-life personas in the public eye, with the pathways to their success romanticized and obscured by myth.
In this webinar, we will explore:
- Why people choose to pursue innovative business ventures.
- What it really takes to be a successful entrepreneur.
- Real-life challenges faced by early-stage entrepreneurs.
Eli Mercer teaches BA 320F - Foundations of Entrepreneurship for University Extension and the McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin.
A recording of the webinar is viewable on the UEX YouTube channel.

Looking for a 'TRUE ADIRONDACK EXPERIENCE'
Immerse yourself in nature…
The world will wait…
Are you stressed, tired of traffic, noise, the hectic pace of the city, cell phones and computers?
Relax and unwind with views on scenic Harrisburg Lake and deluxe accommodations.
We do understand that you still have the need to connect with the outside world... so we have installed Top Notch WIFI Internet , Brand new HD TV's, and DVD's. A land line is available at the Main Lodge for emergency purposes.
Sit back and experience the beauty of nature, go hiking, swimming, tubing, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, bird watching, or sit by your own private campfire and stargaze. All this is ON SITE !
Imagine escaping to a private, exclusive Adirondack lodge tucked away in the mountains with luxury accommodations and personal attention that you just can't get in a large resort.
Wake each morning to the mystical calls of the Loons, eat a healthy breakfast, take a morning swim in our spring fed crystal clear mountain lake just steps from our back deck.
Choose a physical activity, walking, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, or maybe go horseback riding or white water rafting.
Relax in the pages of a good book and listen quietly to the whispering pines while enjoying beautiful Harrisburg Lake.
Later you can sit by the fire, maybe watch an inspiring movie or join us on an invigorating walk in the cool mountain air under a canopy of stars. You have arrived…. Slip away and be refreshed by the tranquility and beauty of God's great outdoors!
Unplug from the Hi-tech world and reconnect with your family, friends and nature.
Bear Country Lodge is owned and operated by Diane M. Daly, who graduated from Paul Smith's College, specializing in Culinary and Hospitality management.
Diane M. Daly purchased this chalet in 1960
If your looking for a 'True Adirondack Experience', an elegant Bavarian style chalet nestled amongst 100 FT pines then you will love it here. Listen to the Loons on the lake, wildlife abounds , nature trails right on site. Knotty pine Interior, very Adirondack style, wood stove,
My Father originally purchased this property as the Original Stony Creek Dude Ranch back in 1960. I have been coming here for over 50 years now. Please read about our History on owner's website.
A 'True Adirondack Experience', On site Owner. Quiet, peaceful, magical, unique, special. Nestled amongst beautiful 100 Ft pines. The clean crisp air is intoxicating. Stars magnificent.
Our stay at Bear Country Lodge could not have been any better. After reading the website I was very impressed with the history and sense of pride shown. After speaking with Diane I knew without a doubt this is where we wanted to vacation. My husband and I and 4 kids, 18, 17, 14, and 7, stayed for a week. Upon arriving we commented on how well kept the grounds were. Diane greeted us at the door and I felt like we were friends. She was so welcoming and immediately we felt comfortable. When Diane opened the door to our chalet my 7 year old commented, " wait till you guys see this?...we all laughed but I was impressed that a 7 year old would notice or care about how beautiful the chalet was. It was very beautiful done in true Adirondack style, knotty pine throughout, cozy, roomy,and had everything we needed, including beautiful bedding. My husband and I loved the front porch with Adirondack chairs and gas grill for BBQ's. A great place to have our coffee in the morning and enjoy the sunrise, and also cook our dinners at night while watching the sunset and listening to the Loons. We had our own campfire that the kids loved and cooked smores on at night while gazing at the mesmerizing stars. Diane would come by every night to make sure we had everything we needed and give the kids a ride on the golf cart. The lake was fantastic with the family of loons to watch and hear, and we got a great photo of an American Bald Eagle flying right over our heads which Diane has now posted on Facebook. We biked, went swimming, boating, horseback riding, visited nearby attractions, and just relaxed. As we sat at the dinner table reconnecting with each other, laughing, realizing that our daughter was going off to college in the fall, we realized this vacation spending quality time with our children is just what we needed. Our family like a lot of families have children involved in activities, jobs that we tend to bring home with us and everyday routines that disconnect us. Bear Country lodge, Diane's hospitality, our quality family time and all the great laughter has left us with great memories that will last a lifetime.
The Adirondack museum in Blue Mountain Lake is brilliant, great horseback riding, tubing and whitewater rafting, and excellent fishing are located on site and within 15 minutes.

Brazil is expecting an increase in tourism over the next few years as it gets ready for the 2014 Fifa World Cup and the Olympic Games in 2016.
The national tourist board, Embratur, said that it had already noticed a rise in tourist numbers, including an increase in flights from Europe last year.
The South American nation is currently preparing to host the major sporting events and Marcelo Pedroso, director of international markets at Embratur, said there has been a lot of investment in infrastructure to make the country more attractive and accessible for long-haul travellers.
"We have already noticed a boom in numbers, especially with the increase in flights to Brazil," he said. "Last year we had an increase of 13.47% in flights from key markets in Europe."
Flights from North America and Latin America also increased year-on-year in 2011 and Brazil is trying to improve links to a number of international destinations.
The 2016 Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro, and Brazil will host the 2014 World Cup too.

No, the spair-the-air (spartheair.org) legislation did.

You must your gas or electricity to heat your house rather than a fireplace.
Re:Zillow (32 comments)
Zillow does more for estimations than Bank of America did for my last re-fi. BofA didn't send out any kind of appraiser, just pulled a number out of their ass. And that number conflicted with the recently sold comparables in my area. Estimates from Zillow or appraisers don't mean shit. Your house is worth whatever the bank wants it to be. Upgrades you've done and condition of the house won't be factored in and are completely irrelevant.

Harassment Training (1127 comments)
Every company I've worked at has provided it. Usually as a recurring thing too. Often at somepoint during new hire orientation, and then once every year afterwards. Your HR dept should be able to set this up for you (even if you're a small company and have HR outsourced to one of those HR outsourcing firms). Your company, as well as you personally, can be sued and end up losing a lot of money over this.
Here's a small gist of the training: Harassment is defined by the victim. It doesn't matter if you or your co-workers don't consider it harassment, if the victim does, then it is harassment. There is a ton of legal leeway given to victim. This is not a subject to take lightly. Simply looking at a person the wrong way could be considered harassment. Laughing at a joke, even if it is not at his/her expense, and even if that person laughs as well, could be considered harassment.
Get your team/company the training.

That's ok, Bay Area drivers can't handle those situations either
Heck, 101 and 880 turn into a parking lot of accidents anytime there is some light drizzle. I actually doubt a self-driving car can be worse than the drivers around here.

Re:3... 2... 1... before that old H1B rant (450 comments)
There's another factor to consider: green-handcuffs.
This is the term used when an H1B worker has applied for a green-card, would like to change jobs, but can't, because it would require starting the application process over from the beginning. Obtaining a green card while on an H1B can take 6 years (or as short as a year). I used to work for a company in silicon valley that would hire H1B workers, pay them significantly lower wages (and get away with 'paying market rate' by changing the job description to one where the market was significantly lower than the position he was actually working in), encourage the worker to apply for a green card, then do what it could to stall the process so they could keep the cheap worker longer.
The H1B workers called it green-handcuffs and would leave the minute they got their green card.
I currently know a guy who went to work for a company on a particular project. the project got canned, so he got moved to another position in the company. a position he hates. he'd leave, but he's close to getting his green card approved and doesn't want to start the process all over again.

Re:The only way to maintain sanity (390 comments)
I've seen it. I wish I had mod points for him. The problem is that everyone treats whitespace alignment differently. On a large enough team over enough time, people who use tabs will start to mix tabs and spaces for alignment. Once that starts happening you'll get code / comments / ascii art diagrams all misaligned when viewed in someone else's editor who doesn't have the same tabwidth. The only reliable way to solve this for everyone is to force tabs-as-spaces (:set expandtab). That way the spacing is consistant on everyone's editor.
PS3 (170 comments)
You can do video chat on the PS3. And you can chat with multiple people at the same time. I've personally done it with three people. I don't know what the limit is. All you need is a PS3, a compatible webcam (could be a Playstation Eye, PS2 EyeToy, and there's various other webcams that supposedly work), and a network connection and you're done. Oh, sorry, replied too fast...missed the requirement about needing to be viewable on a PC. Well if that's not a strict requirement, then you can think about the PS3 option.

Eggs with Serrano Ham and Manchego Cheese, Green Olive Relish, and Migas Reviews
Bon Appétit | April 2008
reviews & comments (5)
All of the flavors of this recipe work so beautifully, but I did make one small change. Instead of making the croutons, I served everything layered on a diagonally cut and grilled slice of rustic bread, so that it was more like a bruschetta than a salad. It seemed more substantial and like breakfast. We served this with sliced mangoes sprinkled with lime juice and dusted with a chile powder, and the whole meal was absolutely amazing, fresh, and colorful!
I gave this 4 forks because it is definitely company worthy. Not only is it interesting with a fabulous mix of flavors, the presentation is great.
This salad is a meal in itself! It makes a beautiful presentation on the plate and has never failed to wow guests. This dressing works well but I have also tried it with a fruit based dressing for contrast with exceptional results.

What did you do to your Chevy today?
FSC Member 14GDHPs4ME started a thread in 2010 asking other members what they had done to their trucks. Now with over 270 pages of posts, quite a few members have chimed in and still do on a daily basis. Below is what he posted:
I'm not sure if we have a post like this yet, but I thought it might be a good idea to get one going. I'm sure on our days off, we all wind up in the driveway messing with our trucks, because it is impossible NOT to do so.
Today, I decided to take the console/cover off my 4×4 shift lever and switch the indicator lightbulbs back to their rightful positions. Some imbecile (previous owner?) had them in the wrong spots, so that it had the "4×4″ and front drive train lit up all the time, and the back came on when I shifted into 4 high. It was driving me crazy, and now all is aesthetically proper again.
SO, what did you do to your Chevy today?
Check it out and see what others have done.

Materials Product Brief
| March 22, 2008
Multivac Inc: Reclosable thermoform pack
Multivac's new reclosable thermoform package has a top web formed with a deep, angled recess that snaps into the bottom web to tightly close the package and keep product fresh.
The angle of the top web serves a second purpose in preventing product from sliding downward when the package hangs vertically. Customers may also choose the point at which the top web "hinges" open and closed based on the size and shape of the product and the desired tension of the lid. Formed from semi-rigid top and bottom films, packages can also be gas flushed for MAP applications to extend shelf life. The interior bottom surface of the tray is formed with ridges to promote proper circulation of the inert gas around the product. Opening tabs can be formed with protrusions to facilitate easy opening, and the packages may also be custom-formed for easy stacking and shipping.
