We Go Places: Client Kickoff in the Big Apple
Savannah's airport is small. One terminal and two Starbucks small (I know… only two). Generally a person could arrive an hour before departure to clear the checkpoints and walk on board their plane, all without weaving through copious amounts of people, or swearing because of the airport joggers. So when Shub and I were in the herd of…

quick display lights flash and quick speedo die
Doing 75 on the way to the beach and about 3 times along the way, random lights would flash upon the dash and the speedo would completely bug out and drop as if slowing down but I was still maintaining speed.
It lasted less than a second so could not tell what lights were popping up. Also these consecutive times all happened in a span of 20min on an hour trip. Happened once on the way home as well. Any Insight on what gremlin I have would be awesome |
Check your battery voltage. Should be around 12.5VDC with engine off, and around 14.5VDC with the engine running.
Bob K. |
Glad someone else is in the same boat and just not a stray gremlin lol did your speedo die for a second as well? |
Just went through this. Not 100% sure what fixed it. Dealer replaced the TIPM and WCM. I also disconnected my aftermarket remote start.
Just a bit of update, it happens randomly now usually in the heat. But I notice now that I do lose acceleration because it happened back to back and was noticeable. Checked my battery connections and they seem tight, I'll give a go cleaning them
My '12 did this. And then it left me stranded miles from anywhere. It turned out to be the battery on my Jeep, may not hold true for you. They told me the battery shorted out inside. It was on a Sunday and it was like 7pm. I bought a battery from the closest auto parts store. Mailed the receipt to Jeep and they mailed me a check.
My Rubi did this, the electronic sway bar unit was not waterproofed and was shorting. Chrysler replaced it.
It has happened to me 3-4 times now. Also, it is not limited to driving on the freeway. It happened to me when I was doing 10MPH twice back-to-back in a span of 20 seconds.
I may need to at least have my battery checked out. |
I ended up having a bad battery replaced under warranty on my 2012 with 28K miles.
Unfortunately I'm in the same situation. I was finally able to video the issues today though. Off to the dealership tomorrow.
2012 Rubi electrical issues - YouTube |
I left a message for the gm, I'm waiting for a call back now. |
Had this happen a few weeks ago while the wife was driving. It was right after I lifted ours so I thought maybe something came loose and body shifted over the axels. All lights came on and speedo dropped for a brief second she said. Took it into dealer and they said my comp malfunctioned and try replaced the entire computer system. I have a '13 JKU Sport
Same happened to me twice now. I've installed offroad lights and a line level converter for my factory sub. I have a feeling it's the line level converter because my sub sounds like crap before it happens. So I'm betting there's a short in there because of that. But I need to check batt as well
Try unlocking your battery and cleaning it up.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 10:23 PM. |

Connor Diemand-Yauman '10
Working on an Original Television Series on Korean PBS
My interest in psychology began well before I entered Princeton. My mother, a clinical psychologist for the last two decades, raised me to question and observe human behaviors from an early age. I felt like I had been preparing for my major long before I officially declared in the spring of my sophomore year.
But I didn't allow my affinity for psychology to hinder my academic exploration when I arrived at Princeton. On the contrary, I challenged myself to find something better. Consequently, my first two years at Princeton were some of the richest and most intellectually stimulating of my life. I had no obligation to choose a "practical" major or peg myself as a "humanities person." I had the freedom to sample the buffet of my liberal arts education, and in those first two years I piled my plate high.
I ultimately decided to become a psychology major, not because of my mom or that it was the "smart" thing to do, but because the psychology classes I took at Princeton excited me. This excitement became very important when I began my independent research. I can't imagine how dreadful it would've been to commit so much of myself and time to research that I hated.
Fusing education and psychology
My thesis allowed me to further hone my passions, fusing my longtime extracurricular interest in teaching and education with my academic interest in psychology. In my research I used disfluency, or the subjective experience of difficulty of a cognitive task, to improve student performance in a high school. By the end of my study, I had significantly improved students' test scores by printing their reading material in a font that was slightly more difficult to read.
My thesis and undergraduate education opened my eyes to the limitless practical applications of psychology, particularly in the education arena. After a short stint on The Amazing Race, I left Princeton for my current job in South Korea to write and star in an original television series on Korean PBS to improve the English-speaking skills of Korean teens. In the early stages of the development of the program, I realized that I could use my training in psychology to insert psychological interventions into the show to improve student learning.
I don't know where my path will lead, and I've yet to develop any serious long-term career goals. But Princeton has given me the confidence to be okay with not knowing what's next. Those short, surprisingly fast four years on Princeton's campus, and more specifically the academic exploration that came with them, taught me a powerful lesson that has affirmed the way I want to live my life. I didn't ask how psychology fit into the big picture when I chose it as my major, nor do I know how working on a Korean children's television show will help me reach future career goals. And yet, I know I'm on the right path. Princeton has taught me that the safest and simultaneously most adventurous course is one guided by what you love.

Side note: I am an intern at one of the newspapers belonging to this organization(Jewish Federation).
"Arab leaders never encouraged the Palestinians to flee."
A plethora of evidence exists demonstrating that Palestinians were encouraged to leave their homes to make way for the invading Arab armies.
The Economist, a frequent critic of the Zionists, reported on October 2, 1948: "Of the 62,000 Arabs who formerly lived in Haifa not more than 5,000 or 6,000 remained. Various factors influenced their decision to seek safety in flight. There is but little doubt that the most potent of the factors were the announcements made over the air by the Higher Arab Executive, urging the Arabs to quit… It was clearly intimated that those Arabs who remained in Haifa and accepted Jewish protection would be regarded as renegades."
Time's report of the battle for Haifa (May 3, 1948) was similar: "The mass evacuation, prompted partly by fear, partly by orders of Arab leaders, left the Arab quarter of Haifa a ghost city… By withdrawing Arab workers their leaders hoped to paralyze Haifa."
Benny Morris, the historian who documented instances where Palestinians were expelled, also found that Arab leaders encouraged their brethren to leave. Starting in December 1947, he said, "Arab officers ordered the complete evacuation of specific villages in certain areas, lest their inhabitants 'treacherously' acquiesce in Israeli rule or hamper Arab military deployments." He concluded, "There can be no exaggerating the importance of these early Arab-initiated evacuations in the demoralization, and eventual exodus, of the remaining rural and urban populations" (Benny Morris, The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem Revisited, MA: Cambridge University Press, 2004, p. 590.)
The Arab National Committee in Jerusalem, following the March 8, 1948, instructions of the Arab Higher Committee, ordered women, children and the elderly in various parts of Jerusalem to leave their homes: "Any opposition to this order… is an obstacle to the holy war… and will hamper the operations of the fighters in these districts." The Arab Higher Committee also ordered the evacuation of "several dozen villages, as well as the removal of dependents from dozens more" in April-July 1948. "The invading Arab armies also occasionally ordered whole villages to depart, so as not to be in their way" (Middle Eastern Studies, January 1986; See also Morris, pp. 263 & 590-592).
Morris also said that in early May units of the Arab Legion ordered the evacuation of all women and children from the town of Beisan. The Arab Liberation Army was also reported to have ordered the evacuation of another village south of Haifa. The departure of the women and children, Morris says, "tended to sap the morale of the menfolk who were left behind to guard the homes and fields, contributing ultimately to the final evacuation of villages. Such two-tier evacuation — women and children first, the men following weeks later — occurred in Qumiya in the Jezreel Valley, among the Awarna bedouin in Haifa Bay and in various other places."
In his memoirs, Haled al Azm, the Syrian Prime Minister in 1948-49, also admitted the Arab role in persuading the refugees to leave:
"Since 1948 we have been demanding the return of the refugees to their homes. But we ourselves are the ones who encouraged them to leave. Only a few months separated our call to them to leave and our appeal to the United Nations to resolve on their return" (The Memoirs of Haled al Azm, Beirut, 1973, Part 1, pp. 386-387).
Who gave such orders? Leaders like such as Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Said, who declared: "We will smash the country with our guns and obliterate every place the Jews seek shelter in. The Arabs should conduct their wives and children to safe areas until the fighting has died down" (Myron Kaufman, The Coming Destruction of Israel, NY: The American Library Inc., 1970, pp. 26-27).
The Secretary of the Arab League Office in London, Edward Atiyah, wrote in his book, The Arabs: "This wholesale exodus was due partly to the belief of the Arabs, encouraged by the boastings of an unrealistic Arabic press and the irresponsible utterances of some of the Arab leaders that it could be only a matter of weeks before the Jews were defeated by the armies of the Arab States and the Palestinian Arabs enabled to reenter and retake possession of their country" (Edward Atiyah, The Arabs, London: Penguin Books, 1955, p. 183).
"The refugees were confident their absence would not last long, and that they would return within a week or two," Monsignor George Hakim, a Greek Orthodox Catholic Bishop of Galilee told the Beirut newspaper, Sada al-Janub (August 16, 1948). "Their leaders had promised them that the Arab Armies would crush the 'Zionist gangs' very quickly and that there was no need for panic or fear of a long exile."
On April 3, 1949, the Near East Broadcasting Station ( Cyprus ) said: "It must not be forgotten that the Arab Higher Committee encouraged the refugees' flight from their homes in Jaffa, Haifa and Jerusalem" (Samuel Katz, Battleground-Fact and Fantasy in Palestine, NY: Bantam Books, 1985, p. 15).
"The Arab States encouraged the Palestine Arabs to leave their homes temporarily in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies," according to the Jordanian newspaper Filastin, (February 19, 1949).
One refugee quoted in the Jordan newspaper, Ad Difaa (September 6, 1954), said: "The Arab government told us: Get out so that we can get in. So we got out, but they did not get in."
"The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Azzam Pasha, assured the Arab peoples that the occupation of Palestine and Tel Aviv would be as simple as a military promenade," said Habib Issa in the New York Lebanese paper, Al Hoda (June 8, 1951). "He pointed out that they were already on the frontiers and that all the millions the Jews had spent on land and economic development would be easy booty, for it would be a simple matter to throw Jews into the Mediterranean… Brotherly advice was given to the Arabs of Palestine to leave their land, homes and property and to stay temporarily in neighboring fraternal states, lest the guns of the invading Arab armies mow them down."
The Arabs' fear was naturally exacerbated by stories of real and imagined Jewish atrocities following the attack on Deir Yassin. The native population lacked leaders who could calm them; their spokesmen, such as the Arab Higher Committee, were operating from the safety of neighboring states and did more to arouse their fears than to pacify them. Local military leaders were of little or no comfort. In one instance the commander of Arab troops in Safed went to Damascus. The following day, his troops withdrew from the town. When the residents realized they were defenseless, they fled in panic. "As Palestinian military power was swiftly and dramatically crushed, and the Haganah demonstrated almost unchallenged superiority in successive battles," Benny Morris noted, "Arab morale cracked, giving way to general, blind, panic, or a 'psychosis of flight,' as one IDF intelligence report put it" (King Abdallah, My Memoirs Completed, (London: Longman Group, Ltd., 1978), p. xvi; Morris, p. 591).
According to Dr. Walid al-Qamhawi, a former member of the Executive Committee of the PLO, "it was collective fear, moral disintegration and chaos in every field that exiled the Arabs of Tiberias, Haifa and dozens of towns and villages" (Joseph Schechtman, The Refugee in the World, NY: A.S. Barnes and Co., 1963, p. 186).
As panic spread throughout Palestine, the early trickle of refugees became a flood, numbering more than 200,000 by the time the provisional government declared the independence of the State of Israel.
Even Jordan's King Abdullah, writing in his memoirs, blamed Palestinian leaders for the refugee problem:
The tragedy of the Palestinians was that most of their leaders had paralyzed them with false and unsubstantiated promises that they were not alone; that 80 million Arabs and 400 million Muslims would instantly and miraculously come to their rescue (Yehoshofat Harkabi, Arab Attitudes To Israel, Jerusalem: Israel Universities Press, 1972, p. 364).
"The Arab armies entered Palestine to protect the Palestinians from the Zionist tyranny but, instead, they abandoned them, forced them to emigrate and to leave their homeland, and threw them into prisons similar to the ghettos in which the Jews used to live."
— Palestinian Authority (then) Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) (Falastin a-Thaura, (March 1976)

The Public Transport Agency, Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has recently launched a One-Day Ticket initiative for the Water Bus Service at the Dubai Marina. This initial stage aims at attracting tourists, visitors and residents to know more about the Dubai Emirate through taking water bus rides via four stations within the Dubai Marina.
Hussain Khansaheb, Director of Marine Transport, Public Transport Agency, said: "This initiative aims at enhancing the tourist movement in the Dubai Marina through what we called a One-Day Ticket, while maintaining the single trip ticket in use, within the Dubai Marina areas. This card will be valid for a whole day enabling multiple Hop On and Hop Off rides, and covering four stations, thus offering an ideal tourist & entertainment element through this service at the Dubai Marina; which is a popular tourist & entertainment destination for residents, visitors and tourists of the UAE."
"The one-day ticket for the Water Bus ride within the Dubai Marina will sell for 25 dirham enabling users to hop-on and hop-off repeatedly between the two sides of the Marina. To make this ticket more appealing to tourists and residents, riders are offered 28 discount vouchers from tour operators, restaurants and retail outlets preferred by tourists & residents spreading along the Marina. In particular, vouchers are offered from Alfa Travel on safari or tours in Dubai, Aqua Venture, The Lost Chambers at Atlantis Hotel, The Palm, Wild Wadi, Meydan Hotel, Sofitel Hotel and Rixos The Palm Hotel, Moxit, a trip by C-Wings Plane, Crotty offering discount on meals at Burger King and Krispy Kreme among others. These discounts are offered to anyone who buys the one-day ticket for the water bus service in the Dubai Marina," said the Director of RTA Maine Transport.
"This initiative aims at raising the awareness of residents and tourists of the marine transport services in particular and the public transport services in general. It also seeks to educate the public about the entertainment destinations served by marine transit services, increase ridership, generate additional operational revenues, improve occupancy rates, and raise customers satisfaction. This initiative also serves the strategic goals of the RTA i.e. Dubai for Residents, customers first, encouraging public transport, financial sustainability, and boosting RTA's development & excellence (7th strategy)," added Khansaheb.
It is note-worthy that the Public Transport Agency has been running the Water Bus service in the Dubai Marina since January 2013 starting with two stations, and in November that year it added two more stations to bring the number of the Water Bus stations in the Dubai Marina to four stations to serve tourists and residents wishing to entertain themselves in a fine travel between the two sides of the Marina. The ordinary fare in the Dubai Marina ranges from 3 to 5 dirham.

I'm not sure I may be wrong about this.
That, and it doesn't really have to fight, since most attacks bounce right off anyways, due to its barrier effect.

Super Bowl tops ratings; outage highly viewed, too
Updated: February 5, 2013, 5:09 PM ET
Associated Press
NEW YORK -- As it does nearly every year, the Super Bowl will almost certainly stand as the most-watched television event of 2013. This year, the Blackout Bowl wasn't too far behind.
CBS prevailed upon the Nielsen Co. to estimate how many viewers watched the Baltimore Ravens' victory over the San Francisco 49ers while excluding the 34 minutes in the third quarter where the game was stopped because of a partial power outage in the Superdome. The game was seen by an average of 108.7 million ...

I currently have several piles of completed compost. I will not be using this compost for a few months. What is the best way to store this compost, to retain its maximum soil amendment value, during the next few months? |
Follow-Up Postings:
All you have to do is to cover and protect it from rain/snow/water washing the nutrients away from it. Compost is like wine, the older the better. JMO |
Finished compost can be kept for some time if it is kept dry so the bacteria that digest the material cease working. While many people think aged compost, like a good wine, is better that is not true since time allows the bacteria to continually digest what is there (when conditions allow them) will be eventually eaten just as it is when in the soil. |

The California High-Speed Rail Authority on Wednesday issued a "request for expressions of interest" (RFEI) as a first step in the procurement process that will award contracts for the first $5.5 billion in construction and ultimately for the design and construction of the entire system, its trainsets, and its operations and maintenance.
"Every day, we hear from the private sector that companies are eagerly looking forward to helping develop California's high-speed train system. This request for expressions of interest is the chance for companies large and small — from the self-employed business person in the Central Valley to multinational corporations — to tell us exactly what roles they hope to play in making high-speed rail travel a reality in California," said Roelof van Ark, CEO of the Authority. "With Proposition 1A, Californians did their part with state funding, and the federal government has stepped up with a pledge for a long-term commitment to high-speed rail. We are now eager to hear from the private sector."
Companies have until March 16, 2011, to respond. The RFEI applies to either the initial construction segment — about 120 miles through California's Central Valley — as well as any future phase of the project, including its financing, core systems (trains, electrification, signaling, etc.), operations and maintenance.
The RFEI is not a required, binding part of the procurement process, but it is an opportunity for the private sector to formally weigh in on the largest infrastructure project in the nation by outlining their interest in the project. It also gives the Authority a tool to shape the procurement process going forward, according to officials.
This request for expressions of interest will be followed by the legally required steps in that process: a request for qualifications in spring 2011 and a request for proposals in late 2011.

thanks! I've already posted on my site and facebook page that I won't be taking any orders until after the first of the year.the condition, unfortunately, is not curable. it's just a matter of keeping it under control. I think I've read too much about it because it sounds like in alot of people it escalates, and I'm worried about that. too many "could happens" right now I guess.thanks for your advice.

Glad you all liked them. They were fun to make. I'm now working on something for St. Patrick's Day and Easter. Barb, thanks for posting the link, but, that is not the one sheet box that I made. That one is called the 2-5-7-10 box. Here is a link to the one sheet box that I made. |

I love this recipe. Great combination! It's a lot of work, but sooo yummy. I've made the carrots several times and use them for all kinds of things. They're great on salads, for one thing.
Yummy. And I can't have sugar so I used splenda instead because of the true measure properties. I don't like the carrots by themselves, too much heat, but absolutely delicious. The next time I make the tapanade I will use a whole heck of a lot less olive oil though. I don't know if its because I didn't quite have the required amount of olives in house, or if it really didn't need that much olive oil.
The carrots are flipping insane!!! You could put them on a lot of different sandwiches - with meat, possibly cheddar, and the list goes on. Fantastico.
I used this tapenade with seared tuna and whole wheat pasta. It was fabulous! I used green olives that were stuffed with garlic, which added depth.
Had a friend's interpretation of this dish at an office party. Loved the flavors. Tried this recipe for New Year's Eve dinner appetizer. It was a hit. I will make my own tweaks, but plan to enjoy this one again and again.

Phelps deprived of clash with biggest rival
Comment on this storyCharlotte – Michael Phelps's second comeback meet will not include a chance to go against his biggest rival.
Ryan Lochte announced on Tuesday he is withdrawing from the Arena Grand Prix at Charlotte because of continued problems with his surgically repaired left knee.
Lochte was injured in November during an encounter with an enthusiastic fan. He missed five months before returning to the pool for the Grand Prix season, beating Phelps in the 100m butterfly at Mesa, Arizona, in April.
Dr. Jason Batley of Team Elite, where Lochte has trained since moving to Charlotte in October, says it would be "counterproductive" to Lochte's recovery to compete while still experiencing pain.
Lochte calls the setback "disappointing" but plans to serve as a host during the meet and sign autographs. – Sapa-AP

I have been talking to some of you guys about the Toyota devil horn emblem and have been getting a lot of interest for a batch. I have talked with my partners at Emblemart.com and we will be producing these for a limited time.
Every now and then we will be doing a "Metalmiller Batch" of a popular design and offer a significant discount from. These emblems are made from 1/4" steel that is waterjet cut then ground down by yours truly to give a nice rounded edge on the edges and the horns. They include mounting hardware and a 10gauge steel backplate so the emblem sits flush on the grill. These are very sturdy emblems.
My friends at emblemart.com will be handling all of the order taking and I will be concentrating on the production. This has given an increase in efficiency and capabilities that I would have been able to achieve on my own. I can still be easily contacted with any questions you may have. Just PM me or check out my site at www.metalmiller.com
Anyways, here is the link to our first "Metalmiller Batch" order page.
We are looking at 75 bucks each for the bare ones and we do offer powdercoating for a very reasonable price.
The batch will be closing on JULY 13th
And here are some sample pics of the horned emblems.

The Jacksonville Roar is the professional cheerleading squad of the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League. The group was established in 1995, the team's inaugural year, and regularly performs choreographed routines during the team's home contests.
The Jaguars officially announced the creation of the Roar the year after the franchise was awarded to Jacksonville in 1993. Delores Weaver, wife of the first Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver, took a special interest in the cheerleaders when they owned the team. She served as a judge during tryouts, helped design their uniforms and approved their dance routines.
Modern dance is a term usually referring to 20th-century concert dance, although it has also been applied to a category of 20th-century ballroom dances. Modern dance refused classical ballet's stress on feet as the primary catalyst for dance movements. It, instead, put stress on torso employing such elements as contact-release, floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation. It was usually performed in bare feet, often with non-traditional costuming.

Financial Audit:
Securities and Exchange Commission's Fiscal Years 2013 and 2012 Financial Statements [Reissued on December 23, 2013]
GAO-14-213R: Published: Dec 16, 2013. Publicly Released: Dec 16, 2013.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-3133
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO found (1) the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) and its Investor Protection Fund's (IPF) financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (2) SEC maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013, although internal control deficiencies exist that merit attention by those charged with governance; and (3) no reportable noncompliance in fiscal year 2013 with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements GAO tested. In commenting on a draft of this report, SEC's Chair expressed her pleasure that GAO found that SEC had successfully remediated the two significant deficiencies identified in 2012. The Chair added that SEC will focus on the significant deficiency GAO reported in 2013 in the area of information security.
Why GAO Did This Study
The Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002 requires that SEC annually prepare and submit audited financial statements to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended in 2010 by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), requires SEC to annually prepare and submit a complete set of audited financial statements for its IPF to Congress. GAO agreed, under its audit authority, to audit SEC's and IPF's financial statements. Section 963 of the Dodd-Frank Act further requires that (1) SEC annually submit a report to Congress describing management's responsibility for internal control over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of such internal control during the fiscal year, (2) the SEC Chairman and Chief Financial Officer attest to SEC's report, and (3) GAO attest to and report on the assessment made by SEC. Accordingly, this report also includes GAO's reporting in response to the requirement under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Chevrolet Cobalt
bigdaddycoats Posts: 1,058
micweb Posts: 1,617The Insurance Institute's test involves crashing a pickup truck or SUV height vehicle, with contoured front end, into the side of the tested vehicle at 31 mph. This is different from the NHTSA's side impact test, which uses a mid-size passenger car as the impacting vehicle. Since the point of contact with an SUV is higher than that of a car, and since they weigh more, very few vehicles can pass the test regardless of their size (for example, the Honda Element, 2004 CR-V, and Chevrolet Impala fail). Some cars have passed, like the Camry and Accord, but only with curtain airbags (one of the reason the industry is going to voluntary adoption of curtain airbags by 2007) and probably only because they are recent re-designs and were probably anticipating this test. The 2005 CR-V was upgraded to standard side curtain and torso airbags and a reinforced door frame area in response to the failed 2004 test so that it now passes.
Traditionally, side impacts are MUCH harder to deal with that frontal or frontal offset impacts, due to the smaller amount of space in which to absorb the impact and the small amount of material to absorb the impact.
One major issue that is emerging with the IIHS's test, is that the impact in this type of crash is so severe that frames are bending and the passenger safety zone is severely impacted. Nowadays, very few front crashes (NHTSA or IIHS) involve such a severe deformation of the passenger area that serious injuries (crushing) results. In front crashes the main issue nowadays is how to reduce deceleration forces, not how to avoid intrusions into the passenger area.
Not so with side impact crashes. While the NHTSA has passes most cars in their much less severe side impact test, it has also highlighted some cars (Focus ZX3 is one I know about) for poor protection with risk of injury due to intrusion(rear seat in the ZX3). On the other hand, the NHTSA has given some cars up to 5 star ratings (Golf sith side curtain, I believe) which has created a false sense of security which this new, more severe, IIHS test deflates. In fact the IIHS so ups the ante that of the 16 small cars tested, only two barely passed; the rest were poor with life threatening injuries for the occupants. Keep in mind that a small car has a much more severe weight disadvantage in a side impact from a truck/SUV than a mid or full sized car (and not all mid or full sized cars are passing either).
Now, here's the punchline: Toyota Corolla and Cobalt, each with side curtain air bags, both passed, albeit barely (acceptable, not good). I am amazed that a two year old new model (the Corolla) was able to pass and that anything small from GM is able to pass.
Wait, there's more, and this is the part that blows me away: the Ion failed miserably. I don't mean failed due to an unexpected head impact, but due to extreme intrusion and almost collapse of the body structure.
Whoa, what happened? I thought the Cobalt and Ion were both on the same global GM "platform". I thought that the Cobalt and Ion were identical under the skin. But apparently that is not so. I am very grateful I didn't buy an Ion last year. And this year, although the Ion is supposed to be tweaked to be closer to Cobalt quality (body integrity, noise, etc.) it clearly isn't strong were it counts.
Kudos to Chevrolet for spending extra time on the CAD/CAM computers and supercomputers to get the body strength of the Cobalt to such an amazing level. Shame on Chevrolet and Toyota for not making curtain airbags standard on these small cars already. (I expect a little more from GM since they made ABS standard on the Cavalier for years.) I am hoping that GM will make curtain airbags on the Cobalt, Malibu, and Impala standard for the 06 model line, since they have stated their goal is for universal adoption.
I think based on the test results, Chevy needs to promptly discontinue the Ion and rebadge the Cobalt to sell as an Ion. If other people pick up on this IIHS report, sales of small cars are going to plummet - this is the first solid evidence that mid-sized cars are significantly safer than small cars.
I think it would be a great career move for GM to announce, in light of the IIHS test results, that all remaining 05 Cobalts will come with side curtain airbags standard.
One final note. If you read the reviews on some cars, the Camry I believe and the Malibu, you will see that the IIHS notes "running" or mid-year safety upgrades; I belive the Malibu was given additional door padding (some manufacturers believe better door padding is as effective as, or more so, than actual torso airbags). -
ndsax707 Posts: 30These tests were very enlightening, but I have one major problem with them. The vehicle being tested is standing still, while the "SUV" is moving perpendicular to it at 31 mph. Most of these types of crashes do not occur when one vehicle is standing still, but when both are moving, and thus the test does not accurately depict real world situations. The forces involved when both vehicles are moving are much different than with one vehicle at rest. I think for this type of a test to properly simulate a real crash that both vehicles need to be moving. The "SUV" moving at 31 mph and hitting the test car moving at 15 mph would be a much more accurate way to test. There's my two cents.
210delray Posts: 4,722I happen to know that the IIHS went through a lot of developmental work to come up with the final side-impact testing procedure. Their facility is capable of running the type of test you mention -- both cars moving, at different speeds. The results in moving side-struck cars were essentially similar to those that occurred when the cars were stationary, and it's a lot easier to make sure the struck car is in the right place when it's not moving -- hence the rationale for the struck car being stationary.
This actually squares with my experience in inspecting actual crashed vehicles and the resulting injuries. It was almost impossible to tell if the side-struck vehicle was moving at the moment of impact by looking at the car alone. It was the police report and the victims' interviews that told us what had happened. -
venus537 Posts: 1,443the USA today test drive isn't such a lovefest.
CR will have a test drive of the cobalt next month. from the profile from the current issue the cobalt doesn't look to be too stellar.
still it will probably be one of the few small cars to be recommended because most don't do well in the crash tests. -
vanman1 Posts: 1,397"Despite the gripes, Cobalt is an inviting car, assuming you and yours fit. It is satisfying to drive, and the good IIHS safety rating provides peace of mind. You don't feel sentenced to Cobalt for lack of cash to buy something better, but rather that you chose it on purpose.
Much is new, so you might not want to be the first on your block to get one. But based on how it looks and drives, Cobalt is a neat piece of work."
CR LOVES good crash tests. I'm sure it goes a long way for Chevy's chances with getting Cobalt recommended! -
johnclineii Posts: 2,287
210delray Posts: 4,722Sorry, didn't mean to confuse. Consumer Reports has not checkmarked the Cobalt as a recommended car, and they won't until a year's worth of at least average reliability is accumulated. Otherwise, I think it scored well enough in their testing.
By the way, I just received the latest issue of Car and Driver and they like the Cobalt overall. They tested an LS 4-door with auto tranny. -

vanman1 Posts: 1,397Unfortunately I have a family of 4 not and need larger cars. My interest in the cobalt is more of a "see what replaced the Cavalier" since I had 2 of them in the past. That said, I didn't recommend the Cavalier to anyone after about 2000 as the car was just too dated. We leased our 2nd one and it was perfectly reliable, just very unrefined and old. From what I have read, I will recommend Cobalt to everyone, it's nice that GM has an extremely competitive small car, wasn't sure I would ever say that.
kurtamaxxguy Posts: 677The ION has plastic doors and a relatively sparse "safety cage" under them, so I'm not surprised it did worse in side impacts than the Cobalt did.
CR wasn't all that thrilled with the Cobalt but didn't pan it like it did the ION.
As for the SS, sounds like it's an improvement over the ION red line, but why, oh why do these "sport cars" have those stupid huge wings on the trunks? Do those wings have any use whatsoever outside of cranking the car at maximum speed on a race track? -

Just played a game where my entire team DC'd at the same time (attempting to reconnect message, unable to move) while the opposing team was free to move about. This problem persisted over the course of the game resulting in (as you could expect) a loss. We were not a 5 man pre-made and the only person I did queue with lives in a different city.

oldryder - hoping to get an opinion from you about the seam for my upcoming granite installation (fabrication is being done this Saturday!). I have an L shaped run, approximately 58" by 163" (along wall). I have an apron front sink and a 62" wide counter height window extending 9" into the window box along the long side. They are suggesting putting the seam directly behind the faucet (the seam would be I suppose around 15"). The other option mentioned would be to put the seam to the left of the sink and window box (so it would be to the left of the window box and would be your typical counter depth of 25.5"). I'm not sure I would like the seam directly behind the faucet. I suppose if it's done correctly I really shouldn't notice it? What would be your opinion, as a fabricator? Thanks a ton! |

I'm not a fabricator, but I know the seam at the sink would bother me. I have a seam to the left of my sink closer to my L, and it was done VERY well. It doesn't bother me at all, but it's out of my line of sight. If I saw it all the time at the sink I think it would bother me. |
I agree that I wouldn't want a seam at the sink. Mine is to the left of the sink and doesn't bother me at all. I have a Whitehaven apron front sink and it is the favorite part of my kitchen. |
This post was edited by willtv on Thu, Aug 22, 13 at 23:54
I'll be another voice of dissent. We have a farmhouse sink and a seam right in the middle. It is hardly noticeable and is only a few inches long. The full width seam that we have on the L is far more noticeable. |
In Ellen's case her seam would extend into the window box, where in all likelihood the sunlight will hit it and probably highlight the seam. I agree I also would prefer not to have it put dead center in what sounds like a focal point of your kitchen. |
Thanks all! As valinsv indicated, my concern is that this is a bumped out counter height window, so the seam will be right there in the center of the granite in the bumped out window. I think if it were like willtv's above, I would be ok with the seam behind the faucet. Maybe I will start a new thread specific to counter height box/bay windows?? Thanks! |
Ellen 1234: We normally seam an apron sink in back anyway so I would see no problem with that option. |
oldryder - thanks! So you see no problem with the seam directly behind the faucet? That's what you normally do? Given that the granite will extend an additional 9 inches back, you think this will look ok? My worry is that it'll bug me when I'm looking out the window (doing dishes or whatever). Thanks! |
Ill you be looking out the window or down at the counter? What does the granite look like? Do you think it will be really hard to match the seam? |
An expanse of sill is beautiful, stone or not. I wouldn't want it interrupted by a seam either. |
annkh - I do agree I'd be looking out the window, but don't want to be distracted by the seam (although I'm sure I'd get used to it). The granite is Colonial Gold. I'm not sure about matching the seam - I should be able to find out when I go there tomorrow. They are going to basically draw out each of the counters. I do actually have 2 other big runs (105inch run and 37inch x 93inch island) which I'm told will not have any seams. Thanks! |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Fri, Aug 23, 13 at 12:04
My feeling is the sink, the faucet, and the window box is the focal point of your kitchen, so why would you want a distracting seam running right through the middle of it? If your fabricator does perfect seams, I'd consider it, but that doesn't seem to be the rule. I have a seam to the side of my sink, 4" from a corner. It's tight and the epoxy matches the solid colored quartz. I think oldryder has mentioned that quartz seams are typically cleaner because there's no chipping. Is Colonial Gold a "chippy" stone? |
A lot of times we are told things will look or be fine and then they are not. Go with your gut. If the option is there, you do not want to be disappointed with this. There have been many bad seam threads posted, often with the fabricator claiming it is alright and expected. Even if it is pretty good, you will not be happy. Don't count on perfection. |

Do you feel a need to get behind the wheel of a car and race through the city streets? Would you prefer to do so without being arrested or the risk of crashing into a building at 100 MPH? Need for Speed World fulfills that requirement, and as of today, Aeria Games is bringing the game to a worldwide audience. It's the second game that the publisher has handled from Electronic Arts following the work done on Battlefield Heroes earlier this year.
Like many other releases from Aeria Games, Need for Speed World's global release comes with several different localizations. The client is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Polish, letting players of several different nationalities face off against one another on the mean streets of several fictional cities. And of course, the core racing mechanics of the game have remained intact so that players can enjoy the whole free-to-play racing game in whatever tongue is most comfortable.

About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Siege Glass & Ceramic Stovetop Cleaner got rid of baked-on spills in GHRI tests — but we found that it tends to create a bit of a mess in the process. The bottles wide opening made it difficult to pour cleaner onto cooktops neatly. Sieges product rinsed off well, though, and generally got the job done. We liked its logical and simple instructions, too.

Natsu and Gray bump into Erza Knightwalker; Erza takes the two guys tied to Faust. As she threatens Natsu, Gray makes the key and activates the Dragon Chain Cannon. However, the team tricks Faust and tries to force him to change the cannon's trajectory. Yet, the real Knightwalker appear and foil team Fairy Tail. Coco and Lucy take the team and head to where Gajeel and Happy are on the lacrima island.
The two Erzas continue their fight, and they are about to clash. Happy does the recap of the episode with a special lecture. He goes back when the Fairy Tail guild gets suck by Anima, how they have to rescue their friends from being converted to magic, and about their Edolas counterparts. With the recap done, Charle and Wendy march into the village of Extalia. As every Exceed stare at Wendy and Charle, Wendy asks them to step aside, so they can see the queen of Extalia. Nady appears and informs Charle that a Fallen and a human cannot be together. He asks Charle what has happen to Nichiya and the guards. Charle replies that they have been turn into lacrima. Yet, the Exceeds laugh and scoff at the idea except Nady who keeps on waving. The Exceeds start pelting Charle and Wendy, and Wendy yells at them that Charle is an Exceed like them. Despite Wendy's words, the Exceed continue to pelt them. Wendy hugs Charle, who is crying, to protect her from the rocks.
Back at the lacrima island, Gajeel is still battling Pantherlily. When Gajeel asks why Pantherlily is fighting for Faust, Pantherlily replies that he has forsaken his homeland. Upon hearing his answer, Gajeel recalls being forsaken by his guild members. Gajeel happily destroys Pantherlily's Buster Ma'am, and as he charges at them, he tells Happy that he will make Pantherlily his cat. Gajeel's face lets out a creepy, happy look much to Happy's comedic terror. Pantherlily, who has none of his cape or helmet, eagerly attacks Gajeel. The two start brawling with their fists without even dodging. Happy thinks Gajeel forgets their goal, yet Gajeel and Pantherlily are happy. Back at the castle, Natsu finds Gray and shakes Sugar Boy violently. When Gray asks Natsu about Lucy, Coco is seen trying to pull Lucy free. Lucy is stuck under Byro's body. Gray explains that the king and the cannon are lock by a door/ or device that can cancel magic. Erza Knightwalker finds Gray and Natsu. While Natsu thinks Erza Scarlet has lost, Gray's key shatters.
Erza walks to the room where Faust and the cannon resides. By dragging Gray and Natsu who are tied up, the soldiers agree to let Erza in. Meanwhile, Lucy Ashuray is waiting for her informant with Edolas Natsu and Gray worried about her. Lucy explains that she will use the information to convince everyone. When Gray thinks Lucy is uptight, Gray and Natsu hide behind a rock and apologize at the same time. Back at the castle, Erza explains to Faust that Gray can make the key. With Faust approving Erza's decision, she threatens to kill Natsu and forces Gray to activate the cannon. Gray forms the ice key, and everyon gaze at his ability. He plunges the key into the lock; as the cannon power up, Gray thinks how he can change the cannon's trajectory. The city outside the castle glows red. Lucy and Coco run quickly while observing the city changing. The castle erupts with red light. Meanwhile, outside of castle grounds, Edolas Gajeel hurries on his motorcycle.
At the castle, Erza lets Natsu go which reveals to be Erza Scarlet. She grabs Faust and requips into her regular armor, and she demands the soldiers to change the cannon's trajectory. The soldiers willingly change the cannon's trajectory, but Knightwalker jumps down to attack Erza. Knightwalker's appearance causes the soldiers to change the cannon back to its original plans. The cannon's chain dragon shoots out and crashes at the bottom of the lacrima island.
Lucy and Coco arrive by riding a Legion (giant, monstrous dragon). Team Natsu escapes on the Legion's back. Knightwalker cuts her hair in humility, and she tells them to chase after Natsu's gang. Faust tells them to get Droma Anima ready, but the soldiers hesitate due to being a forbidden craft. At the island, Pantherlily explains that their plans have finally begun. As the Legion heads towards Gajeel and Happy's location, Natsu tells his gang to hurry while he strips off his clothes to reveal his new yellow shirt.
In the manga, Wendy and Charle bleed from the rocks whereas in the anime, they have no signs of blood.

We have had a Price Pfister 2-handle faucet since about
2005. In that time, I have replaced the valves 2 or 3 times. Starting to get ridiculous, as previous old fashioned faucets had valves that lasted decades!! So what is best these days??? Moen? Delta? American
I am ready to replace the price pfister but nothing

Follow-Up Postings:
FWIW..... My opinion: I use my kitchen faucet many times a day every day, as most people do. I require it to look nice, be easy to use, and to last without giving trouble. Price is secondary to those personal requirements. My experience: The link below is to a particular Grohe faucet. It is the latest version of the one I've had in continuous service for 18 years. I recommend it to you without hesitation. I am a retail customer/user of this product. No other interest or association. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Grohe kitchen faucet
I have 3 Grohe faucets in my home. The oldest is from 1995. They have given great service IMO, they are a vastly superior product - but you are going to pay a superior price. Don't waste you time on that Monen / Price Pfister / etc junk. It's all junk. If the faucet costs less than $250 it's probably junk. And don't let the plumbers lie to you - Grohe is a global company and parts are readily acessible here in the US, they have an 800 number and a service center in Illinois. Grohe will reaplace all parts for free - as long as you are the original owner. However - they are detailed in design - and you have to read and reread the installation instructions. They are not a product where you rip open the box and install. It's sad that the american stuff has so many problems: Cartridges leak, leaks around the stem, leaks around the spout, spout to stiff to swing, handles that continually come lose, trim that won't stay put. I've had none of these problems with the Grohe fauctes I've installed. |
Hansgrohe Allegro from Costco. They had $50 off coupon a little while ago, bringing it down to $199 instead of $250. Check the Kitchen forums, too. There's a huge amount of info devoted to faucets. |

Title: A Retrospective Database Study of Concordance with Recommended Post-Discharge Anaphylaxis Care among US Adults Seen in the Emergency Department or Hospital with Food-Induced Anaphylaxis
By the numbers: About 6 percent of young children and 3 to 4 percent of adults have food allergies in the United States. Every year between 150 and 200 people die as a result of food allergies.
Stung by Poor Management of Insect-Sting Reactions
In a community hospital emergency department, adherence to the national guidelines for treating insect-sting anaphylaxis, a life-threatening event, is low, according to a study presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Annual Meeting in Boston, Nov. 3-8.
Researchers reviewed the records of 45 patients with insect-induced anaphylaxis and found only 35 percent received epinephrine either administered by emergency medical services before arrival or while in the emergency department. In addition, just 33 percent of patients received a prescription for self-injectable epinephrine at the time of discharge and none were referred to an allergist.
"Physicians and healthcare professionals know the emergency department (ED) is the most common medical setting for diagnosing and treating anaphylaxis. However, we need to realize that advances in anaphylaxis management will only be achieved if ED staff follows the established guidelines for diagnosis and management of anaphylaxis," says allergist M. Razi Rafeeq, MD, ACAAI fellow. "This study demonstrates an opportunity for allergists to communicate and join forces with ED staff to guide patients with potentially life-threatening allergies toward better allergy management."

Quebec Act
Quebec Act
(1774) British statute establishing Quebec's government and extending its borders. It provided for a governor and appointed council, religious freedom for Roman Catholics, and use of the French civil code. The act attempted to resolve the problem of making the colony a province of British North America and tried to build French-Canadian loyalty to the British. It also extended the borders of Quebec to include the land between the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, a region claimed by American colonists. It was considered one of the Intolerable Acts, which led to the American Revolution.

RapGenius & VIBE Present: 10 Dopest Lines From Eve's 'Lip Lock' LP
4. "She Bad Bad"
"Blow 'em out the fucking water/Kill 'em dead, called a slaughter"
Anyone can drop a line about "killing" their opponents. Part of the game is showing no mercy, noting that at any time you are willing to go crazy and beat all others. Eve takes it a step further: She will not only "slaughter" her opponents, but leave them torn to pieces in the metaphorical water. Playing on the phrase, Eve is capable of disrupting an opponent's entire career.

Progress watch 2012: Smart phones, jobs returning to America, and war crimes trials
Americans are seeing their own mobile revolution – more than half of all Americans today use their cellphones to access the Internet, up from a third three years ago, according to the Pew Research Center. That puts the United States on the brink of a breakthrough: "Within a few years, [smart phone use] is going to be ubiquitous, and when you get that many people using smart phones, it transforms the economy, society, and politics," says Darrell West, director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
Indeed, technology drives much of the change seen in America, even just this year. Sales of nonpolluting electric cars are surpassing expectations. And self-driving cars are now legal in California. Google conducted the first test of its self-driving car with a passenger who was chauffeured to the dry cleaner and Taco Bell. Even this flashy moment has been slower to brew than it may seem. "This has always been one of the more popular predictions about the future people were talking about in the '60s and '70s, back when they were discussing all the other sort of wide-eyed, post-cold-war futures," says Patrick Tucker, the director of communications at the World Future Society. Beyond being wide-eyed, self-driven automobiles might make passengers safer – computers are likely eventually to be better drivers than humans, Mr. Tucker says – and transform cities. Summoning one's car from even a mile away "removes the need for designing cities on the basis of the availability of on-site parking," he says. Ordering up an automobile also makes car sharing easier, which can reduce carbon emissions, he adds.
