We love to host special events. It's a great way to meet new friends and to sample FREE beer you may never have tried before. What's not to love?
We have several kinds of events:
- Every Friday and Saturday 6:00pm to close we open bottles of whatever is new, fun, or seasonal that week. The options rotate through the night, so you can always bet we'll have a good variety of beers at any given moment. This is featured at our Convict's Pint tasting bar. On Friday nights we even feature a guest celebrity for an evening of sampling, good people, and good fun. We always have NibblyBits© for snacking too.
- During the week we host breweries. At an event like this we'll have a brewmaster, owner or local rep from the brewery in to sample beers and chat about what they do. We try to do at least one of these events each week. The best way to hear about them is to sign up to our email list and check this page frequently. In 2013 we hosted over 61 of these events in the store.
- We feature monthly educational classes in the store. We believe education about the art, craft, and history of beer is as fun as drinking it. These classes offer you an opportunity to learn specific aspects of beer, whether it's a discussion and sampling of a specific style, brewing techniques, exploring the beer of a country or region, or something completely unique. You must sign up in advance for these classes, which are $10 per person.
Hope to see you at one of these events. Cheers!

Question: 'Search for Spock' Excelsior or 'Undiscovered Country' Excelsior?

Question: 'Search for Spock' Excelsior or 'Undiscovered Country' Excelsior?
Confused yet? Let me explain...
We all know that in a few weeks, Cryptic will be adding two versions of the Excelsior class into the C-Store - the classic version from Star Trek III ('The Search for Spock') and the Enterprise-B type from Star Trek VII ('Generations'). In other words, the plain version seen a kajillion times in TNG/DS9, and the modified style like the USS Lakota from DS9's 'Paradise Lost'.
Except that there's a problem - the classic Excelsior, as commanded by Captain Sulu and seen so many times in TNG,
the 'Search for Spock' version.
Turns out that, like the Constitution class, as well as being the two well-known versions, there's also a third 'prototype' version, with a different bridge module, impulse deflector crystal assembly and shuttlebay. As usual, Ex-Astris-Scientia.org has the details:
Link to article if hotlinked image doesn't work
So, with that being the case, which version are we going to be getting, come August 21st-23rd? I'm guessing the more familiar 'Sulu's Excelsior' version from 'Undiscovered Country', but then it's not the 'Search for Spock' version, is it?
(With that being the case, might it be a better idea to re-name both versions to something a little more appropriate? For instance, the 'SfS' Excelsior could simply be the 'Excelsior-class Starship', with the 'Generations' version being the 'Excelsior-class Refit' or 'Excelsior-class Variant'.
It's a better solution (IMO) than going by film/series, or using a specific ship name - take the TOS Constitution as an example of how
to do it. It's in the C-Store as the 'Original Series Enterprise' or 'USS Enterprise Preorder' - except it's not the
. It's just a Constitution-class starship, so the label is misleading.)
Also, while we're on the subject of the Excelsior, are the models still being finished, or are the versions currently in-game as NPC ships the 'finished article'? I say this because there are quite a few things that aren't accurate to the canon ships - specifically the shuttlebay 'fan' doors, and the cargo module/rear probe/torpedo array.
Here's a post I made with all the errors I could find on the Enterprise-B model - some have been fixed in the interim!
Sorry if I'm splitting hairs, but I just reckon it's worth clearing these things up - particularly since the Excelsior's such a beloved fan-favourite, and it goes without saying how militant
fans can get over these things!

Impact would be felt only after Ministry approves them
`Residential units would pay a one-time registration fee'The charges will have to be paid every year to the local body `
NEW DELHI: The Delhi Development Authority has approved the regularisation charges that will have to be paid by the owners of commercial establishments operating from residential areas.
Their impact would, however, be felt only after the Urban Development Ministry approves of them and if the Supreme Court would approve of commercialisation of 2,183 new roads in Delhi as per the amendments to the Master Plan for Delhi-2001.
As per the new charges, decided upon at the DDA meeting at Raj Niwas, the residential units in plotted colonies, which come under mixed land use or intended mixed land use category, would be required to pay a one-time registration fee. Likewise, Rs.1,000 will have to be paid for registration of retail shops, Rs.500 for other activities and Rs.250 for professional activities. Mixed land use charges will also have to be paid every year to the local body. In category A and B colonies, the regularisation charge for retail shops will be Rs.2,300 per square metre of built-up area while in C and D category colonies it will be Rs.1,533 per square metre, and in F and G category colonies it will be Rs.575 per square metre.
The annual mixed used charge for other categories will be Rs.1,150 per square metre in A and B, Rs.767 per square metre in C and D, and Rs.288 per square metre in E, F and G.
For professional activities, these charges will be Rs.575 per square metre, Rs.383 per square metre and Rs.144 per square metre in these three categories respectively.
The DDA will also levy a special conversion charge -- which will be equal to twice the annual mixed land use charge and have to be paid annually -- for allowing commercial use in residential premises on the upper floor on notified commercial streets. A fixed one-time cost for development of parking facility in mixed land use areas will have to be paid under which shopkeepers in A and B category colonies will shell out Rs.2,10,500, Rs.1,49, 750 in C and D category and Rs.66,500 in E, F and G category for every 50 square metre of built-up area.

Alright well i have decided to get either the colt l6920 or the 6940 when i save up enough money. I have done a lot of research on the guns and have not heard anything bad on these and have been recomended to colt for an AR-15. Anyways i went to PA today to look at Gander Mountain and they had the 6920 there so i got to hold it etc and after holding it decided enough waiting im going to buy it. I knew i couldnt buy it in PA but he told me i cant even own this gun or alot of AR-15 in New York State. I thought what the hell so i called up buffalo gun center and they stated that the 6920 can only be bought by law enforcement. While my question is what are some of the more extensive gun laws in NYS.
Also my second question is i work for the sheriffs department as a corrections officer and he stated all i have to do is show me a badge. Is this legal as i do not want to get in trouble as i know i am a corrections officer but not a road patrol or law enforcement officer but still employed by the sheriffs department. Any guidence would be appreciated

The "Don't Shoot" project aims to reduce gun and gang violence through a series of programs and citywide community education.
Kirk, a Highland Park Republican, also plans to talk about his recent work on a federal spending bill that includes $18.5 million to combat gang violence across the country.

garage makeover
lucylee75November 11, 2007
I was thinking of surprising my husband with a garage organization system, since our kids toys have taken over his tools/workbench area. Any suggestions on who to contact for this in the NYC suburbs? Home Depot? TIA.
I'm sure taht you can find such organizers in any of the Big Box stores but Sears also has garage organizers which are quite nice. In line with that, I bought some shock absorbing floor mats at HD which are great for reducing leg fatigue. It comes on a roll and runs abut $4/ foot, IIRC.

wiring two lights from one switch through a junction box
I am doing some renovations and am planning on changing the electrical layout. I will be wiring two lights off of one switch, with the power coming in through the switch and then going to the lights. The wire from the switch to the lights will go through the attic and the light fixtures are on opposite sides of the room. To save time and wire, I would rather not have to run a wire to light one and then another wire from light one to light two. I would rather go from the switch to a junction box and then send one wire to each light. My question is: How do I wire the junction box with the three cables? Is it simply black to black, white to white, or do I need to need to make a loop, using the white as a hot wire.
Thanks for your input.
Electrically, and assuming everything in the system is switched together (i.e. no unswitched loads), your hots (black) will all be joined. Your neutrals (white) will all be joined, and your grounds will all be connected to each other and any boxes in the system that are metal.
Assuming you want it to meet code, you cannot have junction boxes that are inaccessible (i.e beneath an attic floor or buried in insulation).

HAVE: Forbes for grasses
I'm working on a prairie restoration in the front meadow and it seems the forbes are doing better than the grasses. I'm looking for a little bit larger trades here, like maybe baggies full instead of little packets.
I would especially like:
Andropogon gerardii - big blue stem
Andropogon scoparius - little blue stem
Bouteloua curtipendula - sideoats grama
Eragrostis spectabilis - Purple Love Grass
Hordeum jubatum - Squirrel-tail Grass
hystrix patula - Bottlebrush grass
Koeleria cristata - June Grass
Panicum virgatum - switch grass
Sorghastrum nutans - Indiangrass
Sporobolus heterolepis - Prairie dropseed
I have the following forbs in fairly large amounts. We can talk about amounts if you contact me:
Coreopsis tickseed - Coreopsis tinctoria
Butterfly weed - scarlet blood flower - asclepias curassvica z8
Cone flower purple - Echinacea purpurea
Cone flower pale purple (less)
Cone flower yellow - Echinacea paradoxa (less)
Cone flower yellow - Ratibida columnifera
Helianthus strumosus - pale-leaved woodland sunflower , rough-leaved sunflower(I think) '06 '07 hg C 5 ft yellow multi stem. Not really sure, it kind of looks like pictures I've seen of geliopsis helianthoide also.
Ironweed - Vernonia fasciculata
Joe Pye - Eupatorium maculatum
Milkweed - Asclepias syriaca
Rudbeckia triloba - brown eyed susan
Gayfeather - Liatris (smaller amounts of rough blazing star)
I'm also interested in other natives please see my list at http://members.gardenweb.com/members/exch/catrina

i watched it last night and loved it! Lots of style and a great story line. It's a shame they are only airing 3 episodes. Hopefully there will be more to come. I'm really looking forward to the next 2 episodes.
It's hard to go wrong with masterpiece mystery, but i thought zen had a nice, different feel from the rest.

Lightolier Brightens My Day
Kimberly from Gloucester, MA – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
As far as I'm concerned, no one tops Lightolier in the 2 wire track department. (The metal shell acts as the ground for this original L system profile).This track is solid and elegant and safe/simple to trim. I believe track lighting is about to make a major comeback now that low watt LEDs are here and affordable. I have some 9 watts in the cans that I clipped to this track, and the light is very powerful. Be careful when ordering track: A basic L "can" won't fit an H or J track. And there are various kinds of track out there/ even Lightolier brand has various types. So be letter consistent with accessories (fixtures, track ends, power feeds, etc), and all will go smoothly.
OUR SKU # WAC6467Lightolier L System Single Circuit Track is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: LT2-BK, LT2-BN, LT2-WT, LT4-BK, LT4-BN, LT4-WT, LT6-BK, LT6-BN, LT6-WT, LT8-BK, LT8-BN, LT8-WT

Amazon.com: Pat Holliday: Books Jun 13 | amazon.com http://amzn.to/11LyZ4Z PANTHEISM - TRANCE - CAPTURING THE MIND Polytheism, the seeking after other gods, or believing ALL PATHWAYS LEAD BACK TO GOD has captured the imagination of many Christian leaders. They are boldly teaching this blasphemous error to unsuspecting churchgoing people to seize them for the One World Religious System that is being formed for the Antichrist.
These ungodly false Christian leaders are using the power of mass Hypnotism, Neurology, and psychometrics to bewitch Christian Churches.
In the beginning scientific men only followed up these "discoveries" as branches of Natural Science. They were making no attempt to connect spirit agencies with the phenomena, teaching and doctrine being carefully withheld by the spirits. The spiritual connection came when parapsychologists began researching psychic phenomena. J. B. Rhine and his wife are considered the originators in America).

Is Reality Secular?
in Religion
Join me this Saturday, 5/10/2014, as I interview Mary Poplin discussing her book "Is Reality Secular?"
"Dr. Mary Poplin is professor of education at Claremont Graduate University where she teaches courses on learning and pedagogical theories, philosophy and education, and qualitative research. She is a frequent speaker in academic and religious forums. She has been both founder and director of the current Master's teacher education program and dean. Her most recent research is a five-year study of high-performing teachers in low-performing urban schools in some of the poorest neighborhoods in LA. Her book, Finding Calcutta, is about her experience volunteering with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity. Her more recent book, Is Reality Secular, is a reflection and analysis of four global worldviews, their principles, their similarities and differences with the Christian worldview and their consequences on lives, nations and cultures."
In the book, Poplin looks at four different worldviews and asks how each of them explains reality looking at the fundamental question of why we should think reality is secular. This will also include looking at how she came to the worldview that she has while working at Claremont.

Paper 195.4. The European Dark Ages
195:4.1.The church, being an adjunct to society and the ally of politics, was doomed to share in the intellectual and spiritual decline of the so-called European "dark ages." During this time, religion became more and more monasticized, asceticized, and legalized. In a spiritual sense, Christianity was hibernating. Throughout this period there existed, alongside this slumbering and secularized religion, a continuous stream of mysticism, a fantastic spiritual experience bordering on unreality and philosophically akin to pantheism.
195:4.2.During these dark and despairing centuries, religion became virtually secondhanded again. The individual was almost lost before the overshadowing authority, tradition, and dictation of the church. A new spiritual menace arose in the creation of a galaxy of "saints" who were assumed to have special influence at the divine courts, and who, therefore, if effectively appealed to, would be able to intercede in man's behalf before the Gods.

Satan's Philosophy Pantheism in all False Religion
in Religion
The origin of sin is in Lucifer the fallen angel, so what was his philosophy in his argument and rebellion against Yahweh God and Jesus Christ. Isa 14:12-14 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. KJV. In this is seen the dangerous ideas of Satan. It is PANTHEISM .And this is in all his teachings in all false doctrines. Therefore to unmask Satan the true church must be able to discern this teaching as the voice of the dragon . This is how Satan deceives fallen human beings to accept him as god to them. This study will show how Pantheism is Stan's way of reasoning. The faith of Christ for to be sinfree defeats everything Satan says against the divine nature of God and the divine character in Christ.!
in Spirituality
God is often conceived as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe. In deism, God is the creator (but not the sustainer) of the universe. In pantheism, God is the universe itself. The concept of God as described by theologians commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. Monotheism is the belief in the existence of one God or in the oneness of God. God has also been conceived as being incorporeal (immaterial), a personal being, the source of all moral obligation, and the "greatest conceivable existent".
There are many names for God, and different names are attached to different cultural ideas about who God is and what attributes possessed. In the ancient Egyptian era of Atenism, possibly the earliest recorded monotheistic religion premised on there being one "true" Supreme Being and Creator of the Universe, this deity is called Aten. In the Hebrew Bible "He Who Is," "I Am that I Am", and the "Tetragrammaton" YHVH are used as names of God, while Yahweh, and Jehovah are sometimes used in Christianity as vocalizations of YHVH. In Arabic and other Semitic language, the name Allah, "Al-El," or "Al-Elah" ("the God") is used. Muslims regard a multitude of titular names for God, while in Judaism it is common to refer to God by the titular names Elohim or Adonai, the latter of which is believed by some scholars to descend from the Egyptian Aten. In Hinduism, Brahman is often considered a monistic deity. Other religions have names for God, for instance, Baha in the Bahá'í Faith,[Waheguru in Sikhism, and Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrianism.

PMP: Engaging the Spirit World with Lupa - Animism for today
in Spirituality
We strayed from the topic of the show, but spent nearly three hours talking with Lupa about her projects, her books, her personal spiritual beliefs. We hope that you, the listener, enjoy the conversation as much as we did. As Lupa put it "a three hour interview-turned conversational artwork".
Lupa is back to talk about her newest book, Engaging the Spirit World, and the concept of animism.
About Engaging the Spirit World (taken from http://www.thegreenwolf.com):
Animism--the belief in spirits--is considered to be an integral part of many pagans' paths. We call on these beings when we create our rituals, when we work magic, and even in our everyday lives. For some, though, spirits are the very center of their practices. This book collects writings from a variety of practitioners, exploring animism in nature, in technology, and even within the human psyche. Speaking from both theory and practice, the authors present personal experiences to demonstrate concepts, and provide ideas and tools for the reader to work with. Featuring essays from Dawn M. Allenbach, Kali Black, Veronica Cummer, Kenn Day, jaymi elford, Taylor Ellwood, S. Kelley Harrell, Raven Kaldera, Erynn Rowan Laurie, Rhiannon Louve, Lupa, Bari Mandelbaum, Paleo, Pia Van Ravestein, Andrieh Vitimus and Mel White.

Look! Over there!! It's a Tablet...b
ut wait, there's another...
Earlier today the 'verse was all a-twitter about a mentioned/announced/leaked report that Apple would launch the Mythic Apple Tablet device (iSlate?) at an event in March of this year.
To my mind, that's a strategic leak -- the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is kicking off later this week, and one of the sure-to-be-uber-hot-and-cool technologies on display is the Tablet computing device by (insert your favourite hardware vendor here).
I'm sure that given the nature of the event, Future Shop Techbloggers (me included) will be monitoring the news from CES and offering our humble thoughts, but on the Apple news...
Apple forced the cat out of the bag just to make sure that everyone, your humble scribe included, didn't forget Apple amongst all the tablet twittering that's sure to occur this week.
That being said, who are the potential contenders at this time? According to Business Week:
Though, it looks like a $1,000 USD Tablet is what Mashable is forecasting:
But for $1K USD, it has be pretty slick. It's kinda hard for me to justify plunking down that kind of dough for another take on the mobile computer.
For my money, it's got to be a Star Trek Tricorder. I want it to interface with the internet -- WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet (when docked) and maybe EVDO or some such Cellular tech.
It's got to have kick-arse graphics -- I want games. I want web apps. I want graphics. I want everything that my iPod Touch gives me, but more.
Basically I want the functionality of an iPod Touch, on steroids. And it doesn't really matter what device gets it to me, be it a Palm, Android, Microsoft, Apple, Asus..etc.
But whatever the result of the Tablet wars at CS, I *won't* be investing my hard-earned dollars in the tablet tech until I've had a solid hands-on with the Apple table device. Currently, it's the one to beat.
But maybe the Tablet talk is overhyped. Your thoughts?
Personally, I think the Apple Tablet will appease the Apple fanboys but I wouldn't bet on a huge market outside that.
Tablets can be very useful, but they've been available for years already from various manufacturers (HP has had tablet PCs with a keyboard for several years, I know others who have had other tablet computers, etc), and they've never caught on big. If Apple is successful, it's only because Apple is the current "it" thing.
Apple is riding a wave of success right now, and it's not because their products are better than anyone elses, but because they've gone out and aggressively marketted their products and their marketting team has been highly successful. There are things they've done right and there are things they've done wrong. Apple is also counting on this wave to sell the Apple tablet (iSlate?). And because people want to have the "it" thing, they will buy it. But will it really help anyone become more productive or will it make life any easier? I highly doubt it. Unfortunately though, people will throw away their hard earned cash (or their lines of credit) for this, just because Apple made it.
My suggestion, if you really want a tablet PC (Apple or otherwise), check out all of the options before dropping the cash on it. And make sure you'll actually be able to use it. While I hate to be pessimistic, this is one of those devices that I see as a toy that people will play with for a bit and once the novelty wears off, the tablets will end up in some drawer somewhere only to be dusted off once in a new moon. And the biggest reason for this? For portability, a smartphone or something like an iPod Touch is better and for power, you're better off with a laptop. Chances are that if you'll be carrying around an iSlate, you'd probably wish you were instead carrying around a 12-14" laptop.
Hey Krypto, great comment. There is substance to most of Apple's current product line, but you're right, the marketing presents the hardware as 'high tone' and fashionable = desireable -- which kinda subverts the fact that there is real actual value in the hardware.
As well, you do tend to pay a premium for the Apple label, and for most people, similar hardware with ranother brand name (Dell, Lenovo, Acer, etc) would do the job just as well.
For me the Tablet will really come down to size. It *must* be convenient to use, and that's a hard form factor to make. Too small and It'll compete with the iPod Touch. Too large and it's not convenient, and competes with the laptops.
I'm curious to see what they come up with, but won't be investing until I follow your suggestions and get some serious hands-on time with a few of the competitors.
I hate to be this anti-Apple because they do make good quality products, but I just hate how people hold them on a pedestal as being so much better than everyone else when they aren't (sure, their laptops are better than the $600 laptops you can buy from HP, Toshiba or Dell, etc., but that's at least a bit of a case of you get what you pay for). And it's really unfortunate that many of the other new tablets out there may end up getting overshadowed because of the Apple tablet.
@bgrier, of course when I write my above comments, I'm directing them to everyone, not just to you , but I'm glad to see you say that you intend to check out the others. If you do get one though, or if you get hands on with several of them to play with, you know I'll be waiting to check out your review!
I like the idea of tablets and had considered getting one before, but with a smartphone, a netbook and a laptop, I honestly have no need. I'd also constantly worry about damaging the screen on a tablet, so maybe it's better like this.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Reviews and Owner Comments
61 Reviews
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Alba, TX, March 25, 2015 19:29I own a 2002 Ext cab Silverado 2WD 4.3 L V6 Automatic. Fuel MPG averages 19 - 20 mpg combined. It has 235K original miles and still going strong. It stranded me one time, I had to replace the fuel pump. That was about 90K miles ago. The front rotors and pads were replaced 40K miles ago. My rear brake pads are still good. I Put in 2 batteries and I am on my 3rd set of tires. Transmission has been no problem. It has always had a weird engine/drive train vibration right before the gear shift at about 42mph when shifting up. Rarely, I mean rarely on the up or down shift, 2nd and 3rd gears, it will feel more like a clunk and slip than a vibration, but this is rare and it never happens predictably or repetitively. Again, trans is doing fine. No burnt tranny fluid or other signs of trouble. Wheel bearings are still good. My steering and front end have never needed repair or alignment, still as they were set at the factory. The suspension is original and still good. I have a cooling system leak but I can't find where it is leaking from? All of the hoses, radiator, fan and water pump are factory original and still good, I did put a new thermostat in it about 120K ago and changed out the coolant. All the belts, tensioners and pulleys are still good. The front engine seal is leaking oil pretty good, the pan and valve cover gaskets are seeping a little. I have to add a quart of full synthetic between my 5K mi routine oil changes, as needed, to keep it full. I run full synthetic 5W30 or 10W30 and a Delco P47 oil filter. NEVER used the shop's bulk oil or filters, I bring my own. I have one valve that will tap when starting cold, it taps for about 4 seconds then it stops. Been this way and consistent for a long time, does not seem to be getting worse so it may just be an anomaly, but I hate the sound. The AC works fine, never had any compressor issues or leaks. My left head lamp, low beam bulb seems to burn out every 15 months? The dash light that illuminates the heat/AC is out. The very back edge of the headliner is starting to pull away from the ceiling at the rear window. Overall, the truck has run reliably and has not been a money pit to maintain. It is not fancy or macho as pick ups go, but it is a reliable and trustworthy travel companion for a long distance commuter. If you find one for sale that has been cared for and driven gently, consider buying it.
2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Owosso, MI, March 10, 2015 06:50I am having a problem with the oil pressure sensor but found out the engine is bad and needed to be replaced the truck is in very good shape no other problems this happen at 97,000 miles and 5 days after the 5 year mark so no coverage. Any others out there having the same problem? The dealer says something in side the motor not sure what.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Westbury, NY, December 23, 2014 04:07Love the truck this is my daily driver has on star with LTZ model ventilated seats and navigation. Silverado rides like a Escalade the 5.3L engine is powerful dash screen convenient with all options the fabrics are nice love the style. This truck was bought in January 2014 no problems at 39,090 miles taking into shop on oil changes. I have leased vehicles but glad I financed my Silverado a great truck ever.
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Cape Coral, FL, October 28, 2014 11:32My truck is a crew cab,short bed 4wd 5.3 Z engine.I bought this truck in late 2010 from original owner with 22k on odometer.Like the truck very much, wish it had disc brakes on rear.I don't understand why GM does that.Heater controls are difficult to use, if you want just fresh air it puts airflow on floor only.It has nice stereo and speakers with overhead rear tv screen.
2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Southfield, MI, August 28, 2014 07:24Poor reliability could say more other than go buy something else!
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500zevette, Ludlow, MA, April 11, 2014 14:26After every start, the exterior temp display is on for two to three minutes. Then it starts flashing and turns off. What should I look at. The sensor in front of radiator is new. It's also the second one.Enthusiast
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Saint Martinville, LA, March 11, 2014 20:32Had problems with the gauges stop working received a letter about a recall toke truck in a was told that the mileage was to high and the recall did not apply now the oil filter keeps popping off.

2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500connorl478, Deatsville, AL, March 02, 2014 22:43My 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 regular cab 4.3 V6 still running strong. 195808 miles on it. Was abused by my dad's workers while it was a work truck for Davey Tree. Those idiots even burnt up the engine too. Rebuilt it and now care for it like it should be cared for. Transmission still shifts like new. Brakes are great. Makes my dad's 2011 F250 look like nothing. Best truck I've ever used and owned.Rookie
2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Loveland, OH, January 09, 2014 09:32Purchased 10/31/2012 a 2013 Silverado dual cab. Having problems with wind up windows since day one. Ben back to two dealers multiple times. Dealers still have no fixed the problem. Windows are almost impossible to wind up. My wife has to stop the vehicle, get out of the truck, and wind up the windows. Have had problem with drive train, it was not luberacated properly by the manufacture, made loud noise when shifting. Oil leek right out of the box. Poor gas mileage for six cylinders: Average between 12mpg and 13mpg. Manual does not tell you how to reset when rotating tires.
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500K-man Chevy Truck, Mokelumne Hill, CA, December 22, 2013 17:17My 2005 Silverado 1500 Z-71 LT 4 x 4 has got to be one of the best trucks ever made. I hope I don't kick myself in the ass by posting this and then everything goes south, but i have to say this. I have never pulled a spark plug. I have never taken a wire off of a plug. I bought it brand new in January of 2005 and still have the original plugs and wires. I have only used Mobil 1 synthetic since my first oil change and replace oil/filter every 3500-5000 miles. I know there are people out there saying that's wasting money changing the oil too frequently, but I would do it the exact same way if i was to buy another. I've got 270,000+ miles on the truck and a lot of those were doing some crazy stuff. I hauled all of the soil for my garden from the valley below day after day by just filling the box 'til she squatted too much. I ran demo derby cars and hauled them around. I pulled a loaded 27' travel trailer off the stock bumper up to Yosemite more than 20 times. Same trailer over the Altamont and San Luis Reservoir Pass. I moved a couple 10' x 16' buildings in the mud and then a few miles down the road. I've helped numerous stranded motorists in the snow and used it as a dead man or pull vehicle falling huge trees. I've hauled over a 100 cords of wood with it. I've been buried in mud up the the bottom of the doors with the exhaust barely getting out. I pulled 5-7 ton rock and sand trailers locally. I've also been very comfortable the whole while. I love my truck more than a person should. I've asked it to do a lot over the years and it has never let me down. I wish I knew more people that I could say the same about. My buddy has an '07 though...beautiful truck, but tons of issues. The only thing i would probably have done differently is that i would have opted for the crew cab vs. the extended, but that's it. Anybody else out there had a similar experience with spark plugs and wires....stock AC/Delco never touched, cleaned, pulled,...nothing ....250,000+ miles! Seriously! What's the record?Enthusiast
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Briggsdale, CO, September 16, 2013 03:29I have a 2002 Chevy 1500 LT Z71 with 242,000 miles and still runs perfect. I have kept up with general maintance and have replaced and fixed a few minor things...fuel pump, altenator etc. Still the stock engine and tranny and I couldn't be happier then how this truck has lasted. I still put on almost 500 miles a week on it, granted all highway and no hot rodding it this truck has never ler me down. Even with the high miles I would drive this truck cross country in a heart beat without thinking twice about it.
1999 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Norfolk, VA, July 28, 2013 21:16Truck has 203k miles. Just replace my rocker panels and cab corners. Drives great, but auto trans shifts hard from 1 to 2. and fuel gauge is erratic, and air conditioner will not hold pressure. overall a good old truck.
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, York, PA, February 20, 2013 09:442006 Crew Cab Silverado- Bought used in 2010 with 32K original miles. At my 1st inspection (Pa. has annual inspection requirements)needed new brake lining. Didn't get the inspection from the dealer, rather my trustworthy local mechanic.Original lining was rusted & pitted terribly. I inquired & researched to find Chevy was/is aware they used inferior materials & I actually recouped some of the replacement cost. Now I'm experiencing similar situation with brake fluid tubing rusting out. Replaced one last month & just dropped the truck off for another.My mechanic is recommending replacing the remaining tubes.Anyone know of any trends where the tubes are rusting out on others? Anyone know of a good web site that collects autombile defect trends, not advertized as recalls, but if challenged, Mfg ackowledges the defect & provides some type of relief?
2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Catskill, NY, January 26, 2013 17:57i have an 2004 chevy silverado 1500 2wd 4.3 the truck has 182,000 and i have never had a problem until now. i was driving and i was at a red light and i punched on the gas and 10 secondes later the trucks shuts of and i pull over try startin it and it wont start so i waited 5 mins it started but the light came on what could that be? i went to advance auto zone and car quest they put it on the computer and it read code p0016 crankshaft position senior and cam sensor so i replaced them and the light still not staying off what can that be?

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Indialantic, FL, October 31, 2012 19:16Iam very happy with my Silverado and with the southern comfort package it looks as stunning as iy runs. I have 90,000 miles on it and I have only had one issue with it and that is the switch for the four wheel drive. The fuel milage I get just blows away any other truck out there, I average 19.8 mpg on the highway and 17.8 mpg in the city. It is such a pleasure to drive.
2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Thibodaux, LA, October 30, 2012 11:44This is the best truck I have ever owned, 2003 SS with 191,518 miles and I'm now about to spend 2,000.00 in preventive maintenance just to be sure I can continue for another ten years!!!! I have always changed fluids when recommended and brake pads, thats it. The paint job is loosing its clear coat because I left it in the sun to long, other than that every single component work just fine however I don't abuse the truck but I do like to clean out the carbon every so often!

2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Kanopolis, KS, July 05, 2012 14:542007 Crew LTZ 4x4, 5.3L, Overall I really like this truck, but if I hadn't had the 100K warranty I would have had to pay for a new transmission that failed at 62K. Otherwise, engine uses some oil (2 qrts every 3500) and the dealer has been working with me to figure it out (I'm at 110K now, but prob was diagnosed w/92K). So even though I like the truck it is not without issues, gas mileage poor, and occassional static in stereo system from the rear speakers only. I will buy again though providing dealer comes thru on engine repair. My 2004 crew was probably a little better truck.

2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500Visitor, Palm Coast, FL, December 12, 2011 16:45My 2003 silverado has been the worst vehicle I have owned. I had a 1993 and it was great, got 250,000 miles before engine went out on it shouaced of dropped a new engine in it instead of buying yhe 2003 model. Replaced brakes recently had to replace all four because of a recall on the brake system. Speedometer stopped working at about 100,000 miles, $600 dollars to fix. Fuel pump replaced $1000 dollars, bottom gasket on engine quote to replace $600 dollars. Now you now what I meant when I say worst truck or car I have ever had.

I love this truck it has not been any trouble at all, I replaced the rear brakes at 84,000 miles and that is all I've done to it. When I wax it people have asked if it is only a couple years old, it is now 7 years old and I will keep it till it quits and then fix it,even if it needs a new engine at 250k miles. I will leave this truck to my son.
2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500sb219, Hancock, MI, March 17, 2010 23:09The only problems I have had are rear brakes and a front anti lock sensor recall. It get descent gas mileage at 18 to 20 MPG. Tows an older 25 ft camping trailer with no problem. Hauls a full load of fresh cut hardwood with ease. Rides comfortably, low interior noise. Rear seat is comfortable enough for short to mid distant trips, not long ones unless you take more brakes.Enthusiast

2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500DougsTruck, Midlothian, VA, March 10, 2010 15:38This is a great truck overall. Mine is on the highway all the time, probably not the best place for it. Mileage poor when new, but slowly got better until I replaced the tires and it went down again. I suspect new tires hurt the mileage. I was getting close to 21 on the highway. Added the buttons to get the DIC data. Simple to do, don't let the dealer charge you for this, great upgrade for less than 100 bucks. Takes all of 14 seconds to do. At about 80k, the rear end would kick and squawk when coming to a stop, at a stop or just letting off the brake to go. Had to have the drive-shaft spline re-greased but that did seem to fix it. We'll see. There is some sort of a vibration in the dash, I can't seem to put my finger on. Typical Chevy vibration but annoying none the less. Hour meter reset itself at some point. Now only showing 400 hours. (with 84,000 miles, that would mean I drive at 210mph. I dont guess this is worth complaining about because they could only guess anyway. Can't complain got 83,000 miles on the OEM tires and front brakes. I change the oil about every 11k per the oil life monitor and rotate the tires every 6-7k. If I was going to build this truck, I would, as silly as it seems, paint the insides of the rear wheel well black to match the front. It looks sort of goofy. Added DIC mod, tilting bed tonneu, and locking tailgate handle. Installed laptop mount in front and wi-fi. Again, overall a good truck. I think I'll keep it when it's time for a new work car.Enthusiast
2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500urah, Corvallis, OR, February 24, 2010 00:12Bought my 2000 new & have hauled many loads up & down the Alaska-Canada Highway (2400 mi, one way), loaded to the limit (usually beyond) and pulling a grossly overloaded trailer. 200000 miles now: 1 clutch (well earned), 1 fuel pump, ball joints & front wheel bearings @ 150000 mi.

2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500chrismcdad, Beverly Hills, CA, November 02, 2009 16:13Extremely well maintained by my company - driven respectably - spent more in maintenance than it was worth. CONS: Endless problems with brakes as well as spongy feel (like my 86 Suburban); front D.S. wheel bearings and axle; so-so economy even when driving like a grandpa. PROS: rides like a car, engine itself is very good, auto-4wd is seamless when the front wheel bearings aren't failing.Rookie
2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500cribfish, Vancouver, WA, June 30, 2009 00:22I purchased this truck new and only have 16,000 miles on it. It handles and rides great. The LTZ options, especially the power folding mirrors really make this truck nice. The only problem has been the power seat on the drivers side works interminttently. The one thing I don't like about this truck is the slow steering responce when backing up a boat trailer.Enthusiast
2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500racerj61, Westwood, NJ, June 22, 2009 23:075.3 Engine tap when first starting since new. Dealer "claimed" cam and lifters replaced. 7 years later, same tap from 1 lifter.Also when new, fuel sender faulty and CD did not operate correctly and "Low Fuel" signal never came on. Cluster, fuel module and radio replaced. Replaced intermediate steering shaft 3 times for clunking left turns over bumps and sqeaking. Fog lamps fill with water and 1 lens fell off. Front rotors pitted on inside surface causing a grind while braking at 20k. Just replaced left front hub (65K) Squeak when releasing brake pedal (in booster). Not the best truck but can't complain. It was a gift.Rookie

-Clothing Designers.. (High Fashion not Street or Urban)
-MUA's.. (High Fashion and Wedding Day Looks *I am a successful wedding photographer so I love to find other quality vendors to suggest to clients)
-Hairdressers.. (High Fashion and Wedding Day Looks *I am a successful wedding photographer so I love to find other quality vendors to suggest to clients)
I will do *only selective* TFP for dancers, and a few projects that I am personally very excited about. But please understand I am very busy with my work.... I work/photograph throughout the nation including NYC and Chicago and am established in the genres already listed so it is unlikely I could be tempted to do other types of TFP.
However.. once in awhile I do have an idea for a stylized shoot and if I am pretty attached to the concept, and if I don't have a client who is a good fit for the concept.. I may look here on MM for the right person.
You are welcome to solicit me for other genres besides dance (It doesn't hurt to ask)
(And I may be willing to trade work with ppl such as Hairstylists etc.).. I am just being honest that more than likely I will only take paying gigs if they are not for dance. My model sessions are nonetheless very affordable esp. for the quality. :)
If you are a photoshop wizard, you need not apply as I am one as well. (I am not offering that service), and I will never outsource any aspect of my art. My work is very personal and I am very concerned with every detail of it.
I would like to note that I desire to work with people who carry themselves with grace, poise, class, and are respectful. This is what you will find in me and I very much appreciate it in others.
I am looking for variety of looks including: Couture/Feather eyelashes, Edgy/Mohawk, Ethnic/Esp. East Indian, Classic/Grace Kelly types, and those who have European Features. I am attracted to UNIQUE beauty... I would LOVE to work with some porcelain skinned redheads. I am interested in working with men and woman and with individuals and groups.
Thank you for taking the time to read, if you are a dancer I would LOVE to hear from you!
Best Regards to all!

A technical standard is an established norm or requirement about technical systems. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes and practices. In contrast, a custom, convention, company product, corporate standard, etc. which becomes generally accepted and dominant is often called a de facto standard. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Technical standard)
