Huffington Post just put out an article that makes the claim that many of the revisions made to cars on the MTV reality show Pimp My Ride were made just for the TV cameras. It's long been known that reality TV is not very real. I have no personal interest in that show or almost any reality show. I do think that they are a drain on our culture as they blur the line between fact and fiction, they create meaningless public figures, champion consumerist values, and they entertain with the lowest common denominator.
Among the Navajos, a Renewed Debate About Gay Marriage
Among the Navajos, a Renewed Debate About Gay Marriage
I found this article interesting because it demonstrates that all people, even those who have dealt with great discrimination, are capable of their own discrimination.
How Far Will You Drive?
Today I am hitting the highway for some weekend Shinyribs dates. Being in a band one thinks nothing about driving to get somewhere unless maybe it happens to be over 10 hours. However, having lived in both Texas and Pennsylvania I know that geography and population density play a role in how far away somewhere feels.
Even though Pa is not small, Texas is a gigantic state. People will think nothing at all of driving an hour or two to hang out with friends or go to an event that they want to attend. Even driving to a city four to six hours away is not that big of a deal for many people, if there is a concert, sporting event, or some other event that appeals to them. Some people will even drive further than that for a weekend without much thought put into it.
Pennsylvania is the state of a thousand small towns. I lived in a small town, but my town pushed right up against other small towns on the borders. People seemed less inclined to drive somewhere spur of the moment. A show an hour or two away would be more like driving from driving from Houston to Dallas in Texas. Even for large concerts or events, events that would only happen once every few years, people seemed less willing to drive long distances for. We were about two hours from Philly, about four hours from Pittsburg. Although we drove to Philly many times for large events, I can only remember driving once to Pittsburg for a large concert. In my experience that was typical for a lot of people.
I'm not saying this is scientific proof, or that there aren't always exceptions to the rule. There are also cultural reasons for this, as well as reasons having to do with topography and weather. Driving somewhere in Texas, where it doesn't rain, on flat roads, is easier than driving through Appalachia, especially in winter. However, I do think that people will adapt to their surroundings. When I am in Texas I think personally think nothing of driving long distances. When I go home to visit families the old mentality takes over to a degree.

Pandora Sues Songwriters
I have said it on here before, but I can't say it enough: If you value the work that artists in any field do, you should support them by buying their work, attending their events, etc. In the music world, listening to internet radio or using streaming services are not a substitute for buying an artist's record. That's not to say that at some point they might not be viable financial models, but right now they are a joke. Read the above article about Pandora's latest attempt to screw artists. If we want to have a viable culture in this country, one that doesn't just reflect the lowest common denominator, than we need to make sure that the artists we value can earn a living.
Ruined By Tweet and The Din of the Senseless
How One Stupid Tweet Ruined Justine Saccos Life
It ain't a privilege to be on TV
and it ain't a duty either. – Neil Young in Grandpa's Interview
Whenever I think too deeply about what is going on in our culture I get the urge to slither into the shadows and never return. I often think about that Neil Young quote above. Earlier this week I was watching the absolutely brilliant movie Birdman. There is a scene in the movie where the character that Michael Keaton plays is accidentally caught running through downtown New York in his underwear. A video of it gets online and becomes popular. His daughter tells him that, "Believe it or not, this is power", in a scene that is both funny and sadly condemning of our times. I am aware that modern fame is as much a dumb joke as anything.
Earlier today, thanks to my friend JR, I read the above New York Times article, a fascinating read, about how one person's tweet, they made an off-color joke, lead to them being fired. The author, I think rightly, comes to the conclusion that everyone, from the person that put the tweet up, to those that are condemning her, are part of a modern trend where everyone is performing for audiences that they can't see. A sample:
But perhaps she had now come to understand that her shaming wasn't really about her at all. Social media is so perfectly designed to manipulate our desire for approval, and that is what led to her undoing. Her tormentors were instantly congratulated as they took Sacco down, bit by bit, and so they continued to do so. Their motivation was much the same as Sacco's own — a bid for the attention of strangers — as she milled about Heathrow, hoping to amuse people she couldn't see.
Yet here I am in a band, writing a blog. I can't help but feel conflicted at times. Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my fucking time. However, I know how much writing, art, and music have meant to me. I know that I might not be sane if not for it. Part of the reason I started this blog was to try and create a platform where I could hopefully lead some people to things that I am passionate about, that I believe have value, in the din of senselessness that so often is our culture. Books, albums, movies, and various forms of expression have been my armor in this world. I must keep going, because this stuff is in my blood. However, if I'm helping or hurting, only you can be the judge.
How Black People and Art Became Devalued
How Black People and Art Became Devalued
In my last blog I mentioned that culture, in general, seemed in decline. I asked why. The above article is from Salon and focuses on the same idea, but from a black perspective. The writer, Brittney Cooper, starts with Prince's quote at the Grammys:
"Albums still matter. Like books and Black lives, albums still matter."
And then goes on to talk about the connection between a culture that devalues human lives and arts, hitting upon this core theme:
But under conditions of neoliberalism, which favor the unregulated, unchecked reach of huge multinational corporations into every area of our lives, art and music and the people who produce them all become merely marketable commodities.
Music Awards Are None of Your Business
Music Awards Are None of Your Business
The above link is a recently published Morrissey rant at http://www.true-to-you.net, his official site. It's long, but full of laughs. It is an attack on the Brit Awards, though many passages could serve as attacks on any awards show and the modern music business in general. A sample:
In short, Britain has been encouraged to become a nation of idiots (which, of course, is what it is not). But why has British culture become so debased? Why is it that only ideas-free and factory-farmed 'personalities' are encouraged? Is it simply because we are all easier to govern as long as we are free of any content? Well, yes. The sudden, manic rise in loud and overquick camera shots (for a populace presumed to have zero attention span); television sponsorship; persistent sports news for events attended by no one; the obvious lusty dictatorship of the "royal" family (the one and only British institution that we pray for the government to 'sell off' – preferably to China)… it all adds up to an underpattern of controlled obedience, and the notion of the BPI awards being handed out by genuine musicologists becomes as ludicrous a concept as witnessing someone on the Brit Awards coming perilously close to actually making a worthwhile point. Meanwhile, if we mourn the unlikely possibility of positive change in pop music, or if we dare suggest that change is even allowable, we are treated like mental patients.
A constant for me, is trying to figure out how the music business feel into such decline. I not only mean in terms of sales that is partially, if not substantially, due to technology, but also why the artistry and cultural relevance is in decline as well? To me, it is an endlessly fascinating subject, not only because I am interested in music, but because I, along with many many other people, can sense that aspects of our culture seem in decline. What are the artistic, economic, political, technological, and cultural forces that are causing this?

Notifications are incredibly useful, keeping us up to date on all aspects of our digital lives. You should turn them off.
While being able to carry our digital lives around with us everywhere is an amazing, almost magic ability, it's best when that digital life keeps its distance from real life.
A recent trip to Australia meant I had to turn off my iPhone's connectivity so I didn't come back to a huge bill.
This meant I was effectively cut off, able to log on to the web only once a day when we passed by a place with free wi-fi. It was great.
It took almost no time to adjust to not being constantly connected, not having email, Facebook or Twitter notifications competing with real-world events, such as eating ridiculously good food, in the case of Melbourne, and I found I didn't miss it at all.
Moments like that give you an opportunity to step back and look at how much information is being thrust at you constantly.
The main offender is, of course, the smartphone.
The little buggers are hooked into every social network, email account, gaming platform and news network you are, ready to update you with any scrap of new information, whether you care or not.
Since I got back, I've been turning down the notification firehose, and I suggest you do the same.
On an iOS device, you can do this through the main Settings menu. On Android, try looking in each app.
While turning every notification off is probably too extreme a measure for most people, there are definitely areas where you can turn a blind eye without fear of missing out.
For instance, do you really need to be told every time someone new follows you on Twitter? Or when someone retweets something you've tweeted?
What about being notified of every "like" or "comment" on Facebook?
Not only does this add another notification to the onslaught, but by emphasising how popular your utterances are, it pretty much encourages a narcissistic outlook.
Perhaps your job involves a certain amount of social-media savvy and this information is important to you, but I doubt that is the case for all.
But some services are no-brainers, and should be switched off.
You definitely don't need to be told every time a Facebook friend installs Instagram, or a new filter is available on Hipstamatic (for that matter, you probably don't need Hipstamatic at all).
But you probably do want to be told when your opponent in Words with Friends or Letterpress makes their move.
It takes a bit of time to go through the process of working all of this out, but you'll be glad you did.
Another issue is repetition - there are different systems for each device I use, and they don't work together.
When I get an email while I'm at work, a notification pop-up will arrive on the screen courtesy of Gmail, my phone will vibrate then light up with the email on screen and, if I have it near me, my iPad will do the same, minus the vibration.
Because of the vagaries of cloud-computing, this will all happen with a slight delay between each alert, meaning I'm effectively being told of the arrival of the message three or more times over the course of 10 seconds.
When the email in question is a press release irrelevant to me (about 40 per cent of my email traffic), this can get quite tedious.
But in this case, I don't have much choice but to put up with the cacophony - what if the email is genuinely important?
The problem is worse now that OS X has its own notifications menu.
Perhaps this wouldn't matter so much if I spent my whole day on my Mac, but it's a bit ridiculous to get home from work, open your laptop and be told about tweets you saw and answered six hours ago.
Surely if iCloud can show me alerts on all my devices, it can go the step further and work out when I've read and responded to those alerts.
I'm sure the systems will improve over time, and I look forward to the day when my technology will tell me something once, rather than in triplicate.
Until then, I've started turning off the notifications on devices I don't use for functions like email - the iPad, mostly - and I'd advise you to do the same.
Whatever level you go for, you won't regret reducing the volume of digital notifications you subject yourself to.
And given the ubiquity of smartphones and the tendency for everyone to have them turned up so loud, I won't regret telling you to do so.

– (2014) – A film crew documents the lives of ancient vampires as they cope with the modern world. Brilliantly exploits every notion of the undead (and reality shows) in laugh-out-loud fashion. Focuses on a variety of observational jokes that destroy the pompous seriousness of the genres exploited. One of a kind.
The Sacrament
– (2013) – A film crew documents a young woman who never returned from a religious retreat. A modern telling of The Jonestown Massacre that doesn't need the found footage gimmick, since the intended nervous energy would still work if filmed traditionally. Captivating at times, but too many motives near the conclusion fail to make sense.
– (1993) – A mild-mannered school teacher and his wife are wrapped up in twisting plots of murder and deceit. Makes the most of a continuously adjusting story, and always involves despite becoming too convoluted for its own good. Has some great moments, but the payoffs aren't as intriguing as the setups.
Camp Dread
– (2014) – A podcaster in search of a humorous story encounters one of horror. Works well when dealing with the sadistic exploits of a deranged man's obsession with sea mammals, but is quite horrendous in every other area. The first hour is intriguing, but the remainder relies too heavily on slapdash corn.
Dracula Untold
– (2014) – A prince obtains ungodly powers to protect his family and people from an invading army. A feast for the eyes from a production standpoint, but the epic scenery doesn't mean much against the shoddy script. With no singular villain it's hard to root for the protagonist, but there's enough happening at a quick pace to make watching relatively easy.
Willow Creek
– (2013) – A smarmy couple films themselves while investigating Bigfoot in a realm of hillbillies. Steals from The Blair Witch Project to the point of blatant plagiarism, and the characters never stop irritating. An embarrassment to those involved in production, the victimized audience, and art in general.

From: Fayetteville, NC
Region: Southeast
Topic: Non-Natives
Title: Comparison of native and non-native bulbs from Fayetteville NC
Answered by: Barbara Medford
I am just a gardener seeking natives. As I could not find Crinum americanum bulbs/plants specifically, I checked further online. Here's an excerpt of what I found from the Louisiana Native Plant Society: Garden Bulbs for the South. Ogden states there are two look-alike Crinums. One is native but rare in cultivation because of its need for wet conditions (Crinum americanum), and a tropical drylander (Crinum erubescens), which is often sold as Crinum americanum Robustum. The only difference that readily distinguishes between them is that the native is an aquatic or boggy condition grower, the tropical South American species will not grow in water, but in ordinary garden conditions. This is not the only parallel to species in the Southern United States and in subtropical South America where similar climatic conditions occur. My conclusions: I do not have the native Crinum americanum of the Gulf Coast and South Atlantic Coast. But what I have is a beautiful plant, well worth the little effort in growing. Thought you might want to know.ANSWER:
Congratulations on being a gardener seeking natives. In your discussion on the native Crinum americanum (Crinum lily) and the non-native Crinum erubescens, your facts are correct. The Native Plant Police will not be out to ticket you for permitting a non-native into your garden; even the most fervent native plant gardeners are sometimes guilty of allowing a lavender to sneak in or perhaps an old rose. Our main concern is that we not allow non-native invasives to take over and crowd out the native species in the garden.

Ashton Plays Fashionista
Ashton Kutcher went for a stroll through NYC this past weekend in his manpris and deep V-neck tee. While this certainly isn't Ashton's worst fashion statement, we'd never guess he'd be asked to dish out fashion advice. However, he's doing something right because he and Demi made Vanity Fair's best dressed list, and now he's writing columns in Harper's Bazaar. While it seems we all agree Ashton & Demi are NO Posh & Becks, Ashton still has a few fun tips for women while dressing up their men. Here's more:
- Guys don't like to be told they look nice, pretty, or cute or that they clean up well. We want to feel dirty, rugged, and, most important, that you feel safe when you are in our company. So when your guy finally tries on something that you like, tell him that he looks like James Bond or Tony Montana. Feel free to be even more vague than that: "Wow, that suit makes you look like that hot football player!"
- "Make sure the look isn't too matchy-matchy. ... Your best bet is to match the man gear to that great new Balenciaga bag that you're planning to carry. If your bag works with your outfit, so will he."
Ashton always seems to have a great approach to any project he works on from Punk'd to Beauty and the Geek to being a father to 3 girls. Clearly he had fun with this story too. Obviously he is getting noticed as a fashion connoisseur but we'd rather just get our advice from FabSugar.

New fibre nanogenerators could lead to electric clothes
Abstract: In research that gives literal meaning to the term "power suit," University of California, Berkeley, engineers have created energy-scavenging nanofibres that could one day be woven into clothing and textiles.These nano-sized generators have "piezoelectric" properties that allow them to convert into electricity the energy created through mechanical stress, stretches and twists."This technology could eventually lead to wearable 'smart clothes' that can power hand-held electronics through ordinary body movements," said Liwei Lin, UC Berkeley professor of mechanical engineering and head of the international research team that developed the fibre nanogenerators.Because the nanofibres are made from organic polyvinylidene fluoride, or PVDF, they are flexible and relatively easy and cheap to manufacture.

To help you fight those Htgawm withdrawals ETonline caught up with three of the Keating Five – Aja Naomi King, Matt McGorry, and Karla Souza – and found out the best tactics for fans to curb their murderous cravings.

Adam Sandler and Bob Barker Reignite 'Happy Gilmore' Feud
1 hour ago
It's been nearly a decade since Adam Sandler squared off with former Price Is Right host Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore, but their feud is still going strong.
Donning a Boston Bruins hockey jersey like the one he wore in the 1996 comedy, Sandler is seen visiting Barker in the hospital in a promo for Comedy Central's Night of Too Many Stars, which airs Sunday and raises money for autism programs.
Photos: Favorite TV and Movie Cast Reunions
When Sandler asks Barker how he's feeling, the insults begin. "I'm fine. But you know, you are looking old. How old are you, 60?" Barker asks. "You're looking chunkier than this soup … I guess doing all those movies without me took its toll."
Sandler bites back, "I think Price Is Right is on now, we could watch that. Love the host [Drew Carey]. He's just so funny and not crotchety, angry."

This Kid Made the Weirdest, Most Wonderful Bar Mitzvah Invite (but His Brother Steals the Show)

On this day, a boy becomes a man becomes a viral sensation. Mazel tov!
Brody Criz wasn't content sending out boring, paper invites to his Bar Mitzvah. Instead, he made this video parodying Pharrell's "Happy," John Legend's "All of Me," Lorde's "Royals," and, uh...Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines."
It's weird. It's hilarious. And we respect the heck out of the chutzpah any kid has to have to put this whole thing together. Behold:

Her last album, Demi, was released nearly two years ago and featured catchy pop hits like "Heart Attack" and "Neon Lights" – but this time around, the 22-year-old starlet will be showcasing a different side of herself.
"This year, it's super important to me that I embrace who I am as an artist and to become more authentic to who I am," Demi tells ETonline in a new interview. "I want to release music that is different, that I've never done before... and that showcases who I am and what I can do vocally.

Frankie Ballard Proves He's No One Hit Wonder With 'Sunshine & Whiskey': Behind the Hit
2 hours ago
The first No. 1 single is a celebrated milestone for any artist, but for Frankie Ballard, the second one is even sweeter.
"It's so exciting to have your first No. 1 song and you're like, 'Wow,' I just can't believe this is actually happening,' [but] there's a little voice in the back of your head that's like, 'What if this is the only time I'm ever going to get to experience this?'"
Watch: Frankie Ballard Reveals Lessons Learned from Taylor Swift
After opening for acts like Kenny Chesney and Lady Antebellum, Ballard broke out on country radio with "Helluva Life" in 2014. The song became his first bona fide hit single and went all the way to No. 1 on the country charts. When "Sunshine & Whiskey" followed suit months later, Ballard breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"I'm not a one hit wonder! God!" he exclaims in ETonline's Behind the Hit, playfully burying »

Lauren Ambrose Digs into New TV Series--But Still Has Sights Set on 'Funny Girl'
4 hours ago
Most famous for playing Claire Fisher on HBO's darkly funny Six Feet Under, Lauren Ambrose returns to TV in her first major role -- Debbie in USA's new murder mystery, Dig -- since the show went off the air in 2005.
Perhaps it was because she was spoiled with the writing on Six Feet Under that she has only done a handful of guest spots in the decade since.
"It was a very idyllic television experience," Ambrose, 37, says of the HBO series, which was her first major role following a handful of teen comedies. "I was very young so it was like acting boot camp for me. The writing was really good and they were writing to our strengths."

After recently inking his wife's name on his chest, the 35-year-old Good Charlotte rocker is back to showing his dedication to the 42-year-old actress, publicly shouting out his "Bae" on Instagram while working overseas.
Though Benji is currently in Australia where he's a judge on The Voice, he took some time out on Wednesday to send this cute puppy Instagram to his better half.

Neil Patrick Harris Unlikely to Host the Oscars Again
5 hours ago
He's hosted the Emmys, Tonys and Oscars, but just one awards show away (GRAMMYs) from being an Egot host, Neil Patrick Harris admits that the 87th annual Academy Awards took a lot out of him.
"I don't know that my family nor my soul could take it," Nph told The Huffington Post. "It's a beast. It was fun to check off the list, but for the amount of time spent and the understandable opinionated response, I don't know that it's a delightful balance to do every year or even again."

The former How I Met Your Mother star's hosting stint received some mixed reviews -- many loving his opening number, but criticizing him for mispronouncing some of the stars' names -- but the actor says he didn't pay them much attention.
"I didn't keep up with it obsessively, but it was interesting to see just what people thought landed and didn't," he said »

Misery, which was adapted for the big screen and won Kathy Bates an Oscar for her performance as Annie Wilkes, will make its way to the stage this fall for a limited engagement.
Darren Criss to Star as Hedwig on Broadway
Bruce Willis will star as romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued and eventually tortured by his "number one fan," Wilkes (House of Cards' Elizabeth Marvel). Enraged by the fate of the fictional character, Misery Chastain, Wilkes has no intention of letting Sheldon go anywhere.
This is the Broadway debut for the two-time Emmy winner, who was recently seen in the big screen action flicks, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and Red 2. Meanwhile, Willis' co-star is currently sparring with Frank Underwood as Special Prosecutor Heather Dunbar in season 3 of Netflix's hit series, House of Cards.

Kim Kardashian Confession: 'I Have the Hairiest Forehead You Could Ever Imagine'
7 hours ago
Kim Kardashian did not wake up like this.
After revealing her $2,000 daily makeup routine, the 34-year-old reality star has another confession about what it takes to look like her. "I have the hairiest forehead you could ever imagine, and I would always break out and get all cracky on my forehead just from all the hair that I had," she admits to People. "So in high school, I would wax it off because there was just so much hair, and then I would laser it off a little bit."

"If you Google 2008 or 2007, I had the craziest, hairiest hairline, so I did laser it. Everyone would just Photoshop it every time I did a photo shoot [anyway]," she adds. "I didn't really change the shape, I just got rid of all the baby hairs."

While on Big Morning Buzz Live promoting his new, mysterious A+E series, The Returned, Sisto opened up to Nick Lachey about the time his 3-year-old locked his infant-son in the bedroom. With Sisto himself an hour away and his wife at home in a panic, he had to turn to an unlikely source.
"So I call my neighbor -- this very nice, chubby little kid who's married to my friend Anna Faris, who lives down the block -- and I say, 'Could you head over there to help out?'" Sisto says.

Vince Vaughn Talks 'True Detective' and the Story Behind the Hilarious Stock Photos

Vince Vaughn never imagined he would someday place his handprints and footprints in cement at the world famous Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, but that all came true at the ceremony Wednesday morning.
"I remember being a young kid – I came out [to L.A.] when I was 18 -- walking down these streets and coming across the Chinese [Theatre] and really being impressed by it and looking at all the names and all the hands and footprints and it being inspiring," Vaughn told Et. "To be included now is a lot of fun."
Vaughn is known for his deadpan comedic humor and iconic roles like the 1996 cult classic Swingers and 2005's Wedding Crashers. But Vaughn is excited to turn back to drama in the upcoming second season of HBO's True Detective, where he'll be starring opposite Colin Farrell.

USU soccer: Aggie soccer player Natalie Norris invited to FC Kansas City preseason training camp
Utah State defender Natalie Norris was invited back to participate in preseason training camp for the newly formed FC Kansas City, which is part of the National Women's Soccer League.
At the preseason training camp, she will compete for a spot on the roster for the inaugural season of the NWSL.
"We are all so proud and excited for Natalie. She has excelled here at Utah State and has worked tremendously hard to earn the opportunity to prove herself at the next level," USU head coach Heather Cairns said.
FC Kansas City will host the opening game of the league's inaugural season of the NWSL on April 13 at 6:35 p.m. (MT) at Shawnee Mission District Stadium. The Blues will play Portland Thorns FC in a matchup between two of the league's premiere franchises. The remaining six NWSL teams will play their opening games on April 14. The Thorns are led by Olympian Alex Morgan.
A Sandy, Utah native, Norris had a highly decorated Utah State career. Norris was named the Western Athletic Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player after leading Utah State to its second-straight WAC tournament title in November. Norris earned the WAC Defensive Player of the Year award three-straight seasons, leading the Aggies to a 13-3-6 record. A three-time all-WAC first team selection, Norris was the mainstay of a Utah State defense that allowed 13 goals.
Doug Hoffman is the assistant athletic director for Utah State University Athletic Media Relations.

I just purchased a new 2 1/2 straight finish nailer on ebay. It was part of the combo pack (chop saw / nalier). I won't be getting any kind of store receipt or any UPC either. Is there anything I can do in the way of registering the tool without these items ? Thanks.
No announcement yet.
EBAY purchase.....can I still register for lifetime ?
You can call Ridgid customer support and ask, but I would be surprised if such a purchase would qualify. Without having the agreement in front of me, I believe the Limited Lifetime Service Agreement is available only to the original purchaser. While I understand that Ridgid will honor the registration without the UPC, in some cases; a register reciept is definitely a requirement. Furthermore, they have a way of identifying the single tool purchased item as opposed to a "combo" tool purchase. Either way, as the original purchaser, your covered by the LLSA, providing you properly register the tools. But I think they track the difference with a combo, so as not to have these products separated and sold off as individual items. But, that's just my opinion. Best thing for you to do is give them a call and ask the question.
I hope this helps,
I had a similar situation to this, found a couple of Ridgid close quarter drills at a local salvage house and wrote Ridgid about LSA for these since they did not come from an authorized reseller. I have tried to find my response from Ridgid and cannot, but my best recollection is that they said IF I could produce a document from the salvage company that they would have received from the folks who sold it to them (and I assumed this was to insure the Ridgid tools were not stolen) then I could submit this as evidence and possibly receive the LSA.
I did not pursue this to its end so cannot say that they will do it, but it definitely indicates Ridgid will consider reasonable requests.
JerryIt is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
I emailed RIDGID and told them of my situation. The said if I could get a copy of the original receipt, they would honor the warranty. Great customer support, I must say. Heck, I was so pleased I went out and bought the 1 1/2 crown stapler (R150FSA) this evening. Thanks to all of you that responded.

2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 | Road Test | Edmunds.com Brute force, a quality we can't help but assign to any car generating 638 horsepower, is by definition anything but subtle. Yet the 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 manages at once to be both brutally quick and remarkably mild-mannered. Its quarter-mile acceleration is quicker than any production car we've ever tested, its chassis is benign but highly capable and its carbon-ceramic brakes are mind-bending in their effectiveness. This new Vette offers an unlikely combination of performance and real-world usability that we're proud to experience in an American car. This combination is as rare as truth in a presidential debate. Honestly, most of the ZR1's competition (think Dodge Viper ACR) or Nissan GT-R)) is less capable and makes a much larger compromise in typical road driving. With the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 we have a machine that is engaging to drive, capable of making insane numbers on the test track and also a legitimate road car.

Corvette ZR1 Nurburgring 7:26.4 I know many people have been very interested in how fast the ZR1 would be at the Ring... Most car enthusiasts are quite familiar with the Nürburgring. Built in the 1920's near Cologne, Germany, "the Ring" is considered to be the toughest and most challenging race track in the world. Over the last two weeks, we have been doing our final tuning and testing there before we start ZR1 production cars. This morning (Friday June 27), General Motors development engineer Jim Mero drove the Corvette ZR1 around the Nürburgring in a time of 7:26.4. Jim commented after the lap that conditions were good except for a strong headwind down the main straight and that the lap was solid, but he felt there were a few places he could have gone faster. The car was bone stock with the exception of the communications and safety equipment. The tires were production Michelin Pilot Sport 2's. These tires have been developed specifically for the ZR1 and will have impressive wet traction and wear (tread wear rating = 220), in addition to excellent dry road holding. Chassis alignment and vehicle height were set to factory specs. Likewise, the engine calibrations were absolutely stock, emissions compliant and the car ran on pump (not racing) fuel. The vehicle was exactly like the cars that will be built in Bowling Green, Kentucky and sold around the world later this summer. Despite posting one of the fastest times ever run by a production car, Nürburgring lap times were not an over-riding priority in the development of the ZR1. The truth is, if the only priority was speed at the ring, the car would not be very pleasant to drive on American roads. The ZR1 is an incredibly capable track machine, but unlike most ultra-high performance cars, it is very easy to live with on a daily basis. The timed lap was run with a rolling start, a departure from our previous practice of standing starts. This is more aligned with current industry practice. The lap was electronically timed and confirmed with two hand-held stopwatches. .

Base Operations:
DOD's Use of Single Contracts for Multiple Support Services
NSIAD-98-82: Published: Feb 27, 1998. Publicly Released: Feb 27, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8412
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Department of Defense's (DOD) use of single contracts for multiple base operations support functions, focusing on: (1) the history and characteristics of selected single contracts for multiple base operations support services; (2) the kinds of services procured under these contracts; (3) lessons DOD has learned from the use of these contracts; (4) whether small businesses participate in these contracts; and (5) whether cost and efficiency gains have been documented.
GAO noted that: (1) the history and characteristics of selected single contracts for multiple base operations support services varied at the 10 installations GAO reviewed; (2) the decisions to use a single contract for multiple services occurred in two ways; (a) at seven installations, the decision occurred at the time of a commercial activity, or OMB Circular A-76 study; and (b) in the other three cases, the decision was made at the time the installation or its current mission was established; (3) most of the contracts were awarded for 5 years and ranged from about $5.4 million to $100 million annually; (4) although some installations received extensive base operations support services through a single contract, none received all of its required services through a single contract; (5) at all 10 installations, base operations support requirements were met through some combination of single contracts for multiple services; (6) the kinds of services procured under the multiple service contracts also varied and were influenced by a number of factors; (7) comparing and contrasting services between contracts and installations to precisely say what services were included or excluded from individual contracts in comparison with others is difficult because there are no generally accepted definitions for base operations support services; (8) as a result, contracting officials often used the same or similar terms differently; (9) DOD officials at the 10 installations GAO reviewed have learned a number of lessons from their experiences with single contracts for multiple base operation support services; (10) although many contracting officials GAO spoke with stated that coordination is much easier when there is a single contract, they acknowledged problems can still arise; (11) at 3 of the 10 installations GAO reviewed, small businesses were participating in single contracts for multiple base operations support services; (12) in all three cases, the small business was the prime contractor and the contracts were awarded under various small business programs; (13) the Small Business Administration and DOD officials are aware that consolidating multiple base operation services into single contracts may reduce the participation of small business as prime contractors; (14) officials from both agencies have issued guidance for considering small businesses in contract consolidation decisions; and (15) although contracting officials reported efficiency gains, cost savings from using single contracts for multiple base operations support services are not documented.
