Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Recalls
The ignition switch actuator can bind causing the ignition switch to stick in the "start" position. If this were to occur the actuator can unexpectedly release, cause the ignition switch to snap back into the "Accessory" position. This would cause the engine to turn off with an associated loss of brake and steering power assist. If these conditions were to lead to a crash the airbags may not deploy as expected. Dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing as necessary to correct this concern.
Vehicles equipped with a 6.6L diesel engine and dual fuel tanks are being recalled because the transfer pump that moves fuel from the rear tank to the front tank could cause the fuel gauge in show the incorrect fuel level. The engine could stall unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the fuel transfer pump and replace it as necessary to correct this concern.
All late model vehicles are equipped with a "Shift interlock" system that prevents vehicles with and automatic transmission from being shifted out of the Park position under certain conditions. Some of these vehicles are being recalled because they may have been assembled with a broken park lock cable or a malformed steering column lock actuator gear. Failure of these components can allow the shifter to be moved out of the Park position with the ignition key removed or in the off position. This can cause the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly increasing the risk of injury or a crash. Dealers will inspect the recalled vehicles and replace the steering column as necessary.
Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Reviews
crew cab with dual wheels, has plenty of power from the duramax diesel. For a heavy truck it rides and drives great. Fuel milage is aroud 15 mpg when im pulling boat or camper its about 12 mpg. The only complaint was the small mirrors that i switched.
2013 Duramax 3500 work truck. Bought by public utility company. Truck had "low coolant" "washer fluid low" on since new. At 25,000 miles truck died on side of road. "reducing engine power" message. Truck has been at stealership for 6 weeks now! "It will be ready tomorrow" for weeks. Bullshit. I would never buy one of these. Dealership is Chevy dealer in Silverthorne Colorado.
Bought brand new Silverado 3500 dualie and since new we've had white smoke is coming out from under the hood on passenger side near the windshield when stopping at traffic lights/stop signs. Looks like there's a factory defect with the diesel exhaust fluid leaking and dripping onto the manifold or exhaust pipes which turns into smoke. Just took it into dealer and they said there's a GM servic...

Sony is casting its web for two more installments of The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. The company announced today that in addition to Columbia's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 climbing into theaters on May 2, 2014, the beloved red-and-blue-leotard-sporting hero will also return for two more films set to release on June 10, 2016 and May 4, 2018, respectively.
The first installment of Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man series starred Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Emma Stone as his occasional love interest Gwen Stacy. Well, apparently Sony can't get enough of the lovebirds, and the company is super stoked to announce its long-term plans about the film franchise.
According to Deadline, Jeff Blake, Chairman of Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures, announced: "Spider-Man is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise, so we're thrilled we are in a positive to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years."
Although, some critics were not huge lovers of Andrew Garfield's portrayal of Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man cashed in over $750 million at the worldwide box office last year, so it makes complete sense for Sony to want to roll in more dough.

LONDON, December 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- One in two* UK adults (57%) are at risk of being declined credit by mainstream lenders
- Seven in ten women (69%) and eight in ten (82%) 18-24 year olds are at risk of failing a typical credit check
- Three quarters of people (79%) do not know what their credit score is
- Of those who have been refused credit, 85% didn't bother to find out why
One in two UK adults (57%) are currently at risk of being declined credit by mainstream lenders, according to 'Mind the Credit Gap' - a report which aims to better understand the creditworthiness of the UK population, commissioned by aqua credit cards.
The research, which was based on consumers answering a typical industry credit check questionnaire, reveals that in general women and young people have less access to credit, with seven in ten (69%) women and eight in ten (82%) 18-24yr olds failing to meet the criteria lenders typically look for. Mind the Credit Gap notes that people from all walks of life can find themselves at risk of being declined. Most obvious are those who don't have a credit history. This includes those who have recently moved to the UK or those who have never entered into a credit agreement before and therefore have no repayment records. But the research also shows that a third (34%) of people in full time jobs, and 32% who earn in excess of £50,000, could also struggle to get credit.
Having a strong credit score isn't just essential when applying for credit cards, loans, overdrafts or mortgages, it's also important when using other lifestyle services and products. Those taking out contracts with utility providers, mobile phone companies and broadband services, or even those trying to get the best rates and deals from these services, will often need to pass a credit check. Yet aqua's findings show that three quarters of people (79%) have no idea what their credit score is, and half (53%) don't know how to improve it.
Commenting on the findings, Sarah Willingham, founder of letssavesomemoney said: "Finding out that a massive 25 million people are at risk of being declined credit due to a poor credit score is extremely alarming. The Mind the Credit Gap report from aqua demonstrates the importance of understanding your credit score and how it affects your ability to access financial products, but also how to access the best deals and rates on other products and services. If you have a damaged credit record and don't enquire why, you could end up paying more or at worst, having limited access to credit.
aqua's report interrogates some of the unsuspecting actions that can have a detrimental effect on a credit score. The following graph shows some of the reasons why people can be at risk of being declined:
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121219/582963 )
Sarah added: "Taking some simple steps to improve your score can have a huge impact on your life. Things like making sure you're on the electoral roll, that your credit record has the most up to date address, that you pay your bills on time, and that you only apply for credit when needed, all make a difference. And if you are struggling, there are specialist lenders out there who can help access credit and rebuild your credit profile.
James Corcoran, CEO, added: "At aqua we believe in the importance of helping creditworthy individuals who are left un-served by the mainstream credit industry. The Mind the Credit Gap report shows that this un-served audience is significant and growing. Surprisingly one in two adults are at risk of being declined credit by mainstream lenders - that's over 25 million people whose lives are being affected. The irony is that the people who need their money to go further are the ones who end up paying more - paying for utilities and mobile phones on a pay-and-go basis for instance can cost up to 27% more than paying via direct debit.
He added: "We created the report as we believe it's paramount that people understand the significance of their credit score as well as how to build or repair it. We are thrilled to have the support of Sarah Willingham, founder of letssavesomemoney, and we hope that our report is a step in the right direction to solve the problem and help narrow the credit gap".
The aqua credit card was launched in 2002 to help the large number of creditworthy individuals in the UK who are left un-served by the mainstream credit industry. aqua creates innovative credit building credit cards with rewards when customers look after their account - designed for people looking to improve or establish their credit rating. For more information, visit: aquacard
Top tips on how to improve your credit score:
- Make sure you're on the electoral role
- Pay all your bills on time, even a couple of days can make a difference
- Ensure there's no incorrect details on your credit record - check it regularly and if the details are wrong, correct them
- Try not to use more than 75% of your available credit limit
- Look into specialist credit card providers which help people to build and improve their credit record
- Only apply for products when you really need them- applying for more than four forms of credit in a year can lower your credit score
- Do not apply for more than one product at a time as each application can have a negative impact on a credit record
- Close old credit card accounts and cancel old direct debits
- End financial associations with ex-partners. Whilst their own credit rating won't impact yours, taking out a product jointly with them will
- Do not take out more than two forms of credit within a six month period
Notes to editors:
* All figures unless otherwise stated are taken from research carried out between August and September 2012 with Research Plus Ltd. This involved the development of a typical credit check survey which was completed by a UK representative sample of 2,023 adults.

Recently I bought a FOXCONN AT-5250 barebones computer that I loaded with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the purpose of using it as a Plex Media Server computer. After I got Plex up and running it worked great to stream the few movies I loaded onto the 60 GB SSD in the FOXCONN to my phone and tablet.
My next step was to add an external drive so I can load it up with tons of movies and TV shows. I used a 1 TB LaCie Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 hard drive originally formatted on my macbook pro using Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I plugged it into the FOXCONN and it mounted but I was unable to transfer the video files to the external drive and received the message: Error while copying to "Media" The destination is read-only. I used gparted and diskutility to reformat, erase, create new partitions, etc, so many times to see if anything would change
I have gone slightly crazy going through all the advice I have found through google and this site. I checked the permissions on the drive and the "Media" drive is set to drwxrwxrwx, which should give me full permission to add or delete files. I still get the error message when I try.
When I go into the Permissions tab under "Media" properties it is clear that I am the owner. Folder access: Create and delete files. File access: it won't let me change it to read and write. Someone please help this crazy n00b.

Outlets & Cords.Ways to hide them without an appliance garage
Outlets for electrical cords are needed for so many different things in a kitchen- mostly countertop appliances and portable phones but also chargers, TVs, computers, etc. I am interested in suggestions on how best to install outlets whether in in backsplashes, under cabinets, inside cabinets and drawers, grommets.... to minimize the visibilty of both the outlets and cords. What has worked best for kitchens without appliance garages? Pictures would be a big help if you have them.
Some people have located a quad outlet or two in a particular kitchen cabinet. Place all chargers, etc in that cabinet. Other than that, even with plug mold you'll just have the cords hanging down. If the kitchen has a desk area for computer, phone base station, etc, put outlets below the desk with a grommet in the desk. Also place outlets above the desk for seldom use items (easier than reaching under the desk) For most back splashes, I would much rather have designer outlets on the wall than plug mold. For a stone display or glass looking tile displays, I can understand going to plug mold.
I realize I need to have them of course. The layout of our apartment will be very open after our renovation and the backsplash in the kitchen will (hopefully) be very striking and visible from both the DR and some of the LR. So I just want to maximize the effect.
It's fine but in terms of best use, maybe not. To plug something in, you have to bend over and look up to fit the plug. Items with transformers on the plugs (cordless phones, low voltage stuff) can easily fall out because of their weight. It does serve the purpose of meeting code however. Sometimes when people have a particular back splash where they use little electrics and hate having an outlet at all, it is a great alternative. Then it is best if an alternate counter (where you work the most) has conventional wall receptacles.
What most electricians really hate is installing it. Bad enough to plug something in. Worse to look straight up installing it for a few hours. Also requires use of a GFCI breaker or feeding it from a kitchen circuit protected by a wall receptacle GFCI.
Also with the looks, even very elaborate back splashes usually look fine with receptacles. Just get the correct color (white, almond, ivory, brown, black, or gray). Drives me nuts when I see dark brown with white devices or a white back splash with ivory devices. Can also get fancy and order Lutron's receptacles in like 24 different colors. Putting the receptacles horizontally and only 1" above the counter top also hides them well.
And receptacle inside an "appliance garage" do not meet the requirements for the kitchen counter receptacles in the NEC.
Spencer Electrician - Thanks for the detailed explanation. I now understand why electricians don't like to recommend Plugmold. I went to look at the Lutron receptacles at my lighting store and found a color sample that should match perfectly.
There still may be one place where I may want to put Plugmold if possible. Is there a best way to have it installed for efficiency and where it will be the least visibile?
Just stub out a 12/2 wire from the other counter top GFCI protected outlets, at the corner of where the cabinets meet the backsplash, at either end. Install it to the bottom of the cabinet and if you have a lip on the cabinet, it will hide the plugmold. Or leave sheetrock open at the top of the backsplash (hidden by the cabinet lip, and install the plug mold facing outward to the sheetrock.

Maine McDonald's 2015 Senior All-Star Basketball Teams + Games
The members of the 2015 Maine McDonald's Senior All-Star basketball teams have been announced.
The members of the 2015 Maine McDonald's Senior All-Star basketball teams have been announced.
As I came home from my Waterville sleep study this morning, I swung into the Winslow McDonald's to grab breakfast...a Sausage McMuffin and a large McCafe coffee. I didn't think much of it as I enjoyed the food and beverage on the way home (not that I eat in the car).
Bob Marley was in the Moose studio with us for a while this morning. We were talking about his upcoming shows at the Waterville Opera House on Saturday night at 7 and 9. Well, it wasn't long before we decided to hit the road and head out in the Moose Caboose to give away some tickets!
McDonald's of Maine is hosting it's 5th annual 'Breakfast Makes a Difference Day' event on 'National Make a Difference Day,' Saturday, October 25.
At McDonald's in Gardiner the other day, I demonstrated for radio listeners and customers how to properly eat a Sausage McMuffin and hash brown. It IS an art, if you are to savor every morsel.
Ya know, I thought I'd never taste a sandwich that, in my mind and to my taste buds, came close to the perfection of a Big Mac. Well, lo and behold, McDonald's may have just introduced one that surpasses the Mac. It's the "Bacon Clubhouse Burger."
The members of the 2014 Maine McDonald's Senior All-Star basketball teams were announced (Feb. 19) today.
Last night I had fun doing my live broadcast at McDonald's on Main St. in Waterville. Between midnight and 4am, they have both breakfast and dinner options and you can mix choices. You can have fries with your Egg McMuffin or a hash brown with your Big Mac for example. Both the lobby and drive thru are open 24 hours a day for your hunger and they also have a great Playland for use during the more prime hours. I will say they look to be a fun bunch of people work with.
Gotta love it when Laura stops by from McDonald's on Western Avenue in Augusta. Love her attitude, her smiling face and, of course, the goodies she brings!
Earlier today I had a fun time at McDonald's in Newport. This week it's their grand re-opening. They have lots of 99 cent specials this week including their 6 piece McNuggets, Egg White Delight and sausage burrito.

Chrysler was already going under. It was going under and Daimler picked it up, hoping to revive it. They couldn't make it work and they finally sold it off for a song to that investment company. Seriously, Chrysler's been on the rocks for years, clinging to financial solvency by its fingernails. And suddenly its downfall is being blamed on recent events? How have you missed its entire previous history? Ignore the Chrysler marketing, focus on the economics of Chrysler's past history.
In addition, Ford, GM, they've been shutting down their factories in the US for years and moving them to a different country, just like the TV industry the US used to have, etc. How's the economy in Detroit? The problems of the US automakers aren't new -- they've been heading this way for years. They've steadfastly tried to make the market buy what it's making, instead of making what the market truly wants to buy. They've gone for the fatest margins and turned up their nose at those vehicles that have a lower margin but sell more quickly (and so ends up turning out more profit overall). Their problems aren't new, it's just that they finally hit the breakpoint.
Their call for more money was predicated on the idea that, if they failed, hundreds of American jobs would fail too. But we're going to lose those jobs anyway. GM's big bankruptcy restructuring plan is to lose 500 jobs and close 3 factories -- all 3 factories are inside the US. They're just continuing their previous policy of closing down US factories and moving to a different country.
The decline of the American Auto industry began quite a while ago; it is only the leaders of the industry who were blissfully unaware. The quality of the Cars produced have been quite poor and are gas guzzlers. How they expected to survive in a market where efficiency is a key parameter leaves me speechless..The Japanese and the Koreans have consistenly improved the quality and are producing cheaper cars in factories across America..I fail to understand how Detroit did not see the writing on the wall. No wonder the American auto industry appears to be in terminal decline.
I live in Chennai, India. Both Ford and Hyundai set up car plants at the same time closto Chennai. Ford did not get anything right from day one. Obselete models, poor homework, terrible service and poor quality. On the other hand Hyundai got it right from day one. Capacities have trebled and they are doing wonders. General Motors in India have also faced similar problems like Ford.
In the twentieth century, both Britain and the United States failed to produce a quality small car to compete with Germany and Japan, in particular. This fact is an important part of the problem resulting in first the demise of the British automobile industry, and now bankruptcy facing American car makers.
A gentle note to point out the difference between the word "France" and the words "French Car Industry" - they do not mean the same thing. If you had read my comment properly you would have saved yourself a tirade.
The Economist welcomes your views.
Please stay on topic and be respectful of other readers.
Kind regards
Nicholas Folkes/
Your comment is close to being a racist rant and a paragon of ignorance in economics. I would report it to be deleted, but then I want people to look and see what kind of idiots think the Big Three is worth saving.
Blame the lazy Americans, from top management to the humblest union member, for selling out on productivity in return for a good life. They were myopic. A most basic lesson in economics teaches us that economies with high level of capital saturation - i.e, developed economies - must continue to innovate if they are to keep their advantage. This is what the Big Three failed to do, and now two of them are going to die.
Don't blame the government - America was, and still is, a free economy and whatever the government may do, it's the market that ultimately decides. Now the market decides that 2 out of Detroit's Big 3 should die.
Don't blame the 'Japs', the 'Euros' or the Koreans - this is a tough world, and you get what you got to get. America had its share of fun when it was shoving down lucrative weapon deals and/or political arrangements with these countries.
So get this through your head - America can fail too, and it should be able to. Don't be stupid.
The big three have had it too easy for too long. They got comfortable in the top spot. They often used their positions of power in the industry to squelch innovations that could bring an end to their way of life. Many jobs will be lost from their inefficiency, a crime in itself.
The American economy has really maxxed out but hopefully it will recover and find room for growth. Bail-outs are the only thing keeping that market afloat.
In US manufacturing sector, apart from aircraft and defense industry,
what is left beside tottery autos and probably medicine ? This is as nearly
the final phase in the mature economy of free trade and comparative advantage..
In a world of free trade, developed economies are destined to lose
competitiveness to emerging ones in low-value added manufactures.
This process goes on escalating as emerging economies moves up higher in
added-value scale, until there remains hardly any room left for mature economies in manufacturing sector, except for a few subsidized niches -----like defense, subsidized by government, and auto industry, by low gas prices. Advocates of the theory of comparative advantage , your paper being the champion, blithely say that the economy should move up to the higher value-added sector, i.e. service sector, advertisement, health-care, IT contents,and, finance, especially investment banking, with its paraphernalia like law and accountancy. And this is what has been going on in America under the flag of globalization. Indeed, these industries dominate the world and do earn foreign exchange.
But can banks and advertisement agencies, along with farm products, earn enough foreign currency to import all the manufactured goods which the consumers need? You
can borrow or sell assets (even toxic ones) to make up the shortfall for a while, and this was what US had been doing until the reckoning finally came. No group of people can make a living washing one another's shirts unless they borrow from someone outside.. The primary and tertiary sectors can absorb only so many people of average talents and education.
So, it comes, finally, to the balance between jobs and cheaper consumer goods,
between job protection and free trade. No theory in its fundamentalist form, religious doctrines included, fits the reality. We must be realists, ready to compromise and be eclectic in our management of a national economy. Danger of protectionism is present and palpable, but the danger of the unbridled free- marketism is now present and palpable,too. KNAOE
A pity the rechargable battery or the petrolless car is not available. But how many ideas in these directions were killed "dans l'oeuf" by lobbying or worse from the seven sisters and their supporters?
USA strived by innovation in IT, space technology, etc, but every progress that could even suggest it could, if successful, hint of possibly annoying the petrol industry, was thwarted from the start.
What happens now is due retribution.
Even in Europe I know of several people who had designed petrolless motors, who have been paid to bury (sometimes litterally) their discoveries.
Take half of the money which has been poured into new petrol discovery methods, and place it for two years in the appropriate research, and you shall see either rechargeable batteries or new hybrids blossomming everywhere.
In fact I suspect that the present sudden fall in the price of oil is due to a safety measure approach by the sisters:" If we maintain the price artificially high, which is of course our short term interest, they will eventually find other solutions; better lower the price for a moment, so they forget about climate change, and throwing away their SUVs and all that crap"
I really think this crisis will bring useful changes.
The main culprit of the decline of US industry and the car industry in particular are the US Govt. Successive US Govts. have pushed the globalisation card even though they knew American industry would suffer, what a crime. This ridicuolus notion of free trade should be disbained and protection should be brought back into play. The Asians, i.e. japanese and koreans have been given preferential treatment to the US market while the asians haven't reciprocated. Trade is a two way street, try telling the asians that. Clinton gave China MFN status for what? Shouldn't you reward a nation that is fair in its dealings with others esp. when trade is the issue? America has sustained annual trade deficits in excess of USD$800 billion for nearly 10 years straight while the Reps. and Dems pushed their social engineering and other war meddlings but forgot about trade figures and jobs. US industry has been gutted due to hopeless Govt. and their inability to understand and formulate policy conducive to manufacturing growth. America makes great cars and I would prefer Detroit's Big Three over jap crap or kimchi cars from korea.
When I was a young fella gowing up in Australia my Dad had a 1967 Chevy Impala.....what a chariot. That car had electirc windows, cigarette lighter and electric seats while the Japs and Euros were still trying to figure out how to stop oil leaks. Those were the good ol' days and I hope Detroit has some special magic to come back stronger. America needs strong industry to create a decent standard of living. Forget globalisation becuase it is sellout that has reduced the US to beggar status.
Your President is asking a gifted manager,( who just made the recovery of FIAT in less than three years), not to the dumb ones in charge at the time you are refering to, to bring ideas to an industry, who has wrongly been led by the petrol mongers that the gasguzzling past was for ever, and that no reason shall ever get in the US customer's mind. Wrong srategy, bad results.
Only one elegant car was designed in USA: the streamlined Studebaker in the fifties. But the following year the marketing guys had required more and more chrome additions, (even a nose with a small propeller) and that was the end of it.
Now, reason appears to have entered the US voters mind: they choose a President that thinks, listens, analyses, ponders, and negociates hard solutions WITH OTHER PEOPLE than his immediate surroundings. Bush was never allowed to (or able to?)do that. Maybe the US customer is evolving too? And maybe US traditional management what we have in the US, the world have something to learn too?
What better characterizes the brilliance of the Obama Administration than the decision to turn over management of a failing company to FIAT, which left the US after its Yugo failed to maintain the high standards which had made Fiat a threat to Rolls Royce.
A company owned by the unions, with a major share given free to the Italians (who rank behind Mexico and ahead of Thailand in their production of cars), and the rest owned by governments -- what could be more ideal?
The Modern American Dream -- that unionized, heavily indebted, low-quality manufacturers should survive on government loans with management selected by politicians. The streets are surely paved with gold -- or is that iron pyrite?
I think that those writers extolling the benefits of the Tesla and other electric cars will be disappointed to learn that Honda's FCX Clarity will be available long before a any mythical rapid charge battery is invented. The simple reason why it will be successful is that owners won't have to change their lives to go green. Being a Honda they won't have to rich either. It's hydrogen powered and therefore has a fuel cell which is the way an electric car should be driven. Filling up with hydrogen takes five minutes not five hours. The scarcity of hydrogen filling stations is a problem but then Herr Benz had the same problem when he invented the automobile. None of this is any good for the US auto industry but then very little in recent history has been. What it does indicate is that the future has already arrived.
making cars is not really different from other manufacturing. But where is the real value added? On the production line? In the engineering labs? In the marketing department? In customer service? Probably, the answer lies more in their design than in assembly cost.
American designers are just as good as others, but they seem to have got the brief wrong. US designs were often noted more for their eccentricity and wastefulness rather than efficiency and elegance. Contrast this with BMW and Mercedes, both of which have secure market stakes in the top quartile, both in the EU and USA.
The Japanese industry emphasised continual, if small, improvements in all the areas that drivers complained about: reliability, maintainability, seating comfort, driver ergonomics, performance and safety. Each of these valid aspects permitted endless solutions and inventiveness. They had to be delivered cost-effectively, as well.
Bailouts will not be enough if the formula is faulty. It may be too late to save Detroit.

You should have been a senior officer of GM - and are still a good example of
what has happened and why -
I hope you will let us know when you have test driven your new FIAT/Chrysler -
Or perhaps you are already driving a Nissan - owned by Renault -
France makes stylish fuel efficient cars - which sell well all over the world -
PSA and Renault have not closed any factories - are not doing a chapter 11
and are avoiding government assistance - which always has a price -
Because sales are down - less than in Germany or UK - production is being cut back and inventories being reduced -
Govt. is willing to help subsidiary - bits and pieces - sector which is in dire straits -
French unions in the private sector stopped striking years ago -
leaving that sport to tenured civil servants
and how else do you think UAW obtained those ruinous pension
and medical care schemes ?
that people like you can still write such rubbish in a serious newspaper
bodes ill for the future of the US economy
Unhappily it is also the symbol and result of decades of American arrogance,
self indulgence, and irresponsibility
The Economist has been harping for decades about the unatural - subsidized petrol prices which
have encouraged the profligacy of manufacturers and drivers -
In the end - not only chickens - but turkeys - come home to roost
Good Bye & Good Riddance, BIG BAD THREE!!
This is the truly deserving comuppance of the American auto industry, where unfettered hubris, unbridled greed, rank ineptitude & festering stupidity RULED.
Just Deserts, poetic justice, bad karma... call it what you will, but it aint gonna change nuthin'.
Those who claim that Detroit is producing good cars are simply fooling themselves. Take a look at Chrysler's lineup and you will see that there is not a SINGLE car that Consumer Reports feels that it can recommend! Back in the 70s Chrysler made some great cars but it has been coasting for decades.
It's time for the gov. to step away from this , and let the bond holders an UAW sort this out....no tax payer dollars needed
Giving the UAW 55% of the new Chrysler is kin to putting the prisoners in charge of the prison. I give it one, maybe two years. After seeing the bond holders trumped by the UAW what imvestor would put capital in thos company. In two years we will al be saying that we should have let it died in 2008.
Old dinosaurs, unable to adjust themselves to a new environment, must die. Look to new smarter auto industries, like Tesla Motors, that will replace the old useless giants. Would there be intelligent life on this planet if dinosaurs had not become extinct. We must not keep them alive for they are a barrier to progress on this front.
For years the auto giants have trampled over small innovative companies that could have made a positive difference in personal transportation. Now, in their death bed, we are resuscitating them, keeping them artificially alive, as if their demise will signal the end of our manufacturing prowess. They have been dead for a long time now. Like a fallen leaf moving with the wind in every direction. Let's just bury them and move forward.

Painting doors how to keep the door....
clueless1959October 21, 2012
How to keep the door from sticking to the frame and pulling off those liile bits of paint? Makes the whole door look bad.
Ideally, you want to adjust the door so that no painted surfaces are ever touching each other. I realize this isn't always possible, but if the door closes and the surfaces are pressed together hard or rubbing, this is always going to be a problem. You may also be able to sand the door or the frame or both until the painted surfaces are not rubbing. Once you have the areas sanded down, you want to spot prime with some primer that is good at bonding and then touch up the door and frame with the paint. Latex paint will take up to a month to cure, and the paint will stick less when it is fully cured.

The Fernando Torres horror show
The fans can hardly bear to watch either as pressure grows on Roman Abramovich to bring in a new leading man
Related Articles
Published: 28 November 2012
Spain is associated with some of the most evocative horror films but Guillermo del Toro would struggle to replicate the psychological torture suffered by Fernando Torres at Chelsea.
Del Toro is Mexican by birth but often uses Spain as his muse. Pan's Labyrinth, Julia's Eyes and (my favourite) The Orphanage all feature tormented characters, hollowed out and replaced by little else aside from fear.
One of the subplots as The Orphanage progresses is central character Laura's attempts to seek closure. "Seeing is not believing," she is told. "It is the other way around." Her ensuing pursuit of the truth threatens her livelihood and sanity, eventually leading to a heartrending denouement.
There is plenty in Torres's search for closure on a chapter of his career that has long threatened to define him that Del Toro could work with.
Instead, Rafael Benitez is the latest man directing the task of restoring him to former glories but should he fail, the Blues surely have no option but to sell their £50million striker for a huge loss in the summer.
In fairness to Chelsea, they could hardly have done more to help. Managers have been fired for failing to
integrate him, transfer policy has been tailored with Torres in mind and the fans have stayed largely loyal and patient. Those closely associated with events at the club's Cobham base speak of a variety of training regimes designed to reignite that spark within him. Until this season, the excuse was that he failed to find his rhythm while being rotated with Didier Drogba and the team were not tailored to his strengths.
Heavy summer investment and a change in tactics followed yet Torres has scored just seven goals in 21 appearances this season and looked uncertain on his feet. Most of the time, he seems afraid to shoot. The rest of the time, he barely has the ball under control.
He is woefully out of form, unhappy, nullifying Chelsea's effectiveness and with each week looking less like the player Liverpool and Spain were proud to call one of the finest strikers in the world. 'El Nino' has blown itself out, aged 28. Torres cannot be happy entering what should be the peak years of his career resembling an extra rather than the leading man his price tag demands.
Benitez's initial attempts to rouse him centred on different starting positions for his runs into the box and instruction from David Luiz and keeper Petr Cech to look for Torres with long, high balls.
Benitez also speaks of the need for Torres to train harder in the gym and as much as Roman Abramovich wants his prized investment to deliver, the player has to want it himself.
Torres captained Atletico Madrid at just 19 years old so pressure is nothing new but he exists in what is surely a unique position: so far off his game yet undroppable due to the unwavering support of the club's owner.
With millions in the bank, a World Cup, two European Championships, a Champions League and an FA Cup to his name plus the knowledge that no matter what his form, he remains immovable, where is his motivation? After all, people stop going to the gym when they can no longer be bothered.
Time will tell if Benitez can reinvigorate Torres but should he fail, there is an acceptable solution for all parties which would not require an implausible plot twist.
Chelsea want Radamel Falcao, of Atletico. Torres, who turns 29 in March, may well be tempted to return to his former club. Atletico have a huge tax bill and Chelsea are mindful of complying with UEFA's Financial Fair Play.
A swap deal involving some Chelsea cash would enable Stamford Bridge to once again house one of the most potent strikers in world football and end Torres's west London nightmare.
Abramovich is clearly an astute businessman and he must be able to recognise not every punt would come off, even one as logical as signing a player with Torres's pedigree.
Daniel Sturridge has grown disillusioned and could move on but Romelu Lukaku is impressing with his form for West Brom and at present is a much more effective Premier League striker than Torres. Lukaku deserves a chance next season in Chelsea blue.
Without ruining The Orphanage's ending, Laura moves on to set herself free. Unless Benitez can revive his fellow Spaniard, Chelsea and Torres should do the same.
Zero tolerance the only way to treat yobs
Football authorities often take too long to hand out punishments but the alarming increase in vile abuse from supporters must be admonished quickly and thoroughly.
We live in angry times. Socio-economic pressures have made things difficult and heightened tensions but there is simply no excuse for the bile emanating from a small minority of supporters at matches.
Whether it is West Ham fans making hissing noises to taunt Tottenham's Jewish fanbase, monkey chants at black players or the racist abuse allegedly suffered by on-loan Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku, zero tolerance is the appropriate response.
This is not an affliction confined to one or a few clubs. For their part, the Premier League are pressuring the Crown Prosecution Service to act with greater intensity. There is a momentum to clean up the game and this must be seized upon — the nature of sport is that another issue will come to the fore and the drive to push through reform in one area stagnates.
If there is indeed a causal link between frustrations with the Government and supporter behaviour at matches, then it is inactivity that is the common denominator. Fans become angry at their team stagnating just as an electorate grow disillusioned with paralysis in Westminster.
Due process must, of course, be observed but fast and firm punishment must follow obvious indiscretion such as those committed by the idiots at White Hart Lane. Justice must be done and be seen to be done. Swift action can and must speak louder than those disgusting words.
Great hopes for Speed Jr
Nothing can replace the loss felt by Gary Speed's family and the football community a year on from his death but there was a life-affirming symmetry in his 14-year-old son's first appearance in the Wales Under-16 squad.
Falling almost exactly on yesterday's anniversary of Speed's passing, midfielder Ed was an unused substitute in Friday's 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland. Coach Osian Roberts has "great hopes" for Speed Jr, whose style is said to emulate his father's. These are, of course, early days in Ed's career but his involvement with Wales is a timely reminder that hope can always survive tragedy.

lucky bamboo stalks yellow!!!!
sigh..ive had the lucky bamboo for a little over a year now and it was very healthy..then classes started for college and i gorgot to water it for a week and a half...so when i looked at it.all three stalks were yellow and mushy...im sure that its probably dead and that theres no hope for it...but this bamboo means a lot to me and its terrible that i neglected it.
BUT. i changed the water..cleaned the pot...and cleaned the mush off the stalks...
AND...theres TWO green leaves still....
SO....is there any hope for my plant?
You may be luckier with a real bamboo.
Wait and see what happens, it sounds like you have done all that you can for it. Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best. If the worst does happen, try growing a potted bamboo instead, you will be glad you did.
Dandelions are pretty easy to grow and care for...
Last fall, I left mine outside and it froze. The entire thing died and turned to mush except for a small part at its base. It was slow but has grown back. It's planted in soil.
I'm actually going to try growing dandelions indoors for a Russian Tortoise this winter. Problem is dandelion has a long taproot and needs a fair amount of sun.
I have one thats been in my sunroom for 3 years. It began yellowing... but not to the extent of your situation. I slowly added soil to the water...over about a weeks time untill my planter was a soggy soil mix...seems to add life span to the plant. I read a few articles that say the life span isnt very long and anything over 2 years is exceptional.
Might wanna try a little soil in the mix. I see they sell liguid nutrients for lucky bamboo too. Never tried it though.
Best of luck.
The Yellow leafs can be Lack of nutrients
Giving the plant Nitrogen Fertilizer will bring out dark green color in plants. Give half or less the amount recommended on the package.
Tip: You can add nutrients to water by adding air to the water. Place the water in the blender or shake up the water in a clean jug or cup.
Lucky Bamboo, not a real bamboo, grows best in soil, not water. If you plant the thing in good soil, it will take off and spread. I planted one in the ground in florida about 8 years ago and it now has about 40+ new stems and is about 3' tall.
