A word that everyone else is afraid to define except in utter seriousness, for fear of being branded a rascist, in total ignorance of the colloquial usage of the word, its characterization in popular culture, and the populations of people it is used most by.
You shouldn't ever say the n-word, you rascist cracker asshole.

a term that is racist, as long as the speaker of it is not black. Forbidden on most all of television and other forms of public entertainment, at times referenced to as the "n-word". However, "cracker", a term racist against whites, is a completely acceptable term used in any context of any national broadcast...hmm...

The city is located in northeastern Ohio along the Cuyahoga River between Cleveland to the north and Canton to the south. It was founded in 1825 at the highest point of the Ohio and Erie Canal, and would become a manufacturing center initially due to its location along both the Ohio and Erie and the western end of the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canals. During the late 19th and early 20th century the city grew into a boom town due to the emergence of the rubber industry, earning the nickname "Rubber Capital of the World," and being a pioneer in numerous other industries. After the decline of heavy manufacturing and the loss of many of the rubber companies beginning in the 1960s, the city's industry has since diversified to include research, financial, and high-tech sectors.

by Buck Pomerantz AudioControl's LCQ-1 six-channel signal processor lets you bridge the gap between your factory stereo and the high performance power of aftermarket amplifiers, speakers, and subs. It accepts speaker-level signals from your factory radio or amplifier and lets you custom tune the output to achieve audiophile performance in your car. You'll keep all the features of your car's audio system, like navigation and Bluetooth®, and maintain your car's showroom look, while enjoying performance that a factory sound system can only dream about. Inputs and outputs The LCQ-1 features six speaker-level inputs that accept the amplified output of your existing factory system. The LCQ-1 sums all the signals you send it, even if they're actively crossed over by your factory system, so you get a strong, full-range signal for your processors and amps. The LCQ-1's 6-channel RCA preamp outputs connect to up to three external amplifiers. The optional dash-mount remote control allows you to adjust the level of your sub channel on the go. Serious equalization for seriously good sound The LCQ-1 lets you get the sound you want, whether you like your sound heavy on the lows, screaming on the highs, or somewhere in-between. You'll find independent EQ for the front, rear, and sub outputs, while AudioControl's AccuBASS™ signal processing corrects factory-set bass levels that limit the full potential of your system's low end.

works exactly as advertised. Written By Nedthafed, winter springs, fl on Saturday, November 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I must say, as an audiophile who is typically skeptical of the hype, i was plesantly suprised after putting this together. This item works exactly as advertised. No hype, no over rating its capabilities. It is a tough job to do by yourself but i am an electrician by trade so it was a breeze for me. Time consuming but elementary wiring. I own a 2013 Malibu with the "My Link" touch screen so replacing the head unit was not an option. I wanted the equalizer capability so i went with the LCQ1 as opposed to the other options available. I am running 2 amps, a 2 channel Rockford 250.2 for the front 2 Alpine R series components and a kicker 600.1 amp pushing a 12" compR. The equalizer allows me to perfectly tune my music as the head unit only allows for bass, mid and high tone adjustments. As these newer cars come out with better head units this item will become more popular than ever. I highly recommend it if changing out your head unit is not an option. Pros: Does exactly what it advertised...what else can you ask for? Cons: Timely install. Requires a decent amount of time and experience.
My New LCQ-1 Written By BigTom, Vandalia, OH on Tuesday, September 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just bought the new LCQ-1 and installed into my 2013 Kia Forte... I must say, it's done one heck of a job! Before the LCQ-1, I had a Scoche line converter installed, which ran RCA's out to my 4-channel amp (for door speakers) and Class-D mono-block amp for the 12" Woofer. It sounded muffled and "crackly", but now with the LCQ-1, all the crisp, highs and lows come out and my car thumps like crazy! The factory door speakers actually hold up pretty good about half-way on the volume, but start to break up with alot of power, so they will need to eventually be upgraded, however, the 12" (Sony X-Plode 1200W) subwoofer pounds all day long...The AccuBass setting on the LCQ-1 really drives the lows deep and gives the factory stereo a whole new sound. I still need to make a few changes here and there, such as upgrading the door speakers, but for now, I am glad I spent the money on a quality product. Thanks Audio Control! r/ Tom Pros: Plenty of gain on all filters, easily connected, directions are simplified, If you have a factory stereo sharing ground on all speakers, this unit will sum the channels needed; Unit has a built in ground-loop isolator Cons: Unit did not come w/ remote gain control (sold separately)
save your dash Written By MattS, Richmond,VA on Wednesday, August 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) In my current Mazda 3i I simply did not want to modify the dash, in comes the AudioControlLCQ-1. It sits in my glove box, where I can fine adjust it at will. It sums my speaker wires into 6 RCA lines that feed into 2 alpine amps one being a four channel and the other a mono. They rest under the front seats. I believe the ' Rux wired gain knob ' is well worth the money ! W/ it I can adjust my systems base extremely well. The Audio ControlLCQ-1 cost about a bit to have installed, so I can't make any comments on struggling w/ wires or instructions ! I am EXTREMELY happy with it, and I do not feel it sounds that much different than my older Kenwood Kac-889. If you are looking to keep your dash look/factory deck/steering wheel controls,etc.. W/o adding tons of add ons' look this up. Post script- if you do go cheaper, say w/ just a line converter? BEWARE you won't get an EQ! Pros: Takes a four channel factory head unit( in my case ) and sums FR.,RR., and sub, RCA lines. Has a 6 way EQ, w/ optional wired bass gain knob, can be installed in most locations Cons: taking the cover off can to be hard to get back on, POSSIBLY POSSIBLY you may need to replace your factory speaker wires, other than that none
LCQ-1 Written By Ryan, Peoria, AZ on Saturday, May 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good product for factory integration and the equalization feature is even better, however I remain unhappy with it. My stereo can't be swapped, otherwise I would go with a new head unit in a heartbeat. If possible, go with a new head unit b/c this costs as much as one without nearly the amount of control. I installed the system I had in a different car and with this a part of the system, the speakers sound great but the sub doesn't. I know this because my sub hit maybe 3 times harder in my old car attached to a head unit. This may be due to the fact that my factory stereo doesn't have a subwoofer output but who know, either way, I'm not terribly happy with the results even with hours of fiddling with the controls. Pros: Equalization, integration Cons: Reconstruction of the sub channel from front/rear output from factory radio is sub-par
Best option for integrated factory systems Written By Ben, Fairborn, OH on Thursday, April 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This LOC was perfect for my new vehicle. The factory stereo lacked any actual power to the speakers. I added new speakers and amps to the factory stereo. The EQ sound control was amazing. It allows you to tune it in to your liking. The factory Bass Mid Treble gave no real tuning capabilities. I was absolutely amazed at the sound this unit produced. The factory sound was lacking, but this brought the system to life. I usually get new aftermarket head units for my cars, but this is a much better option for newer vehicles with integrated controls and other amenities. The factory unit had built in Bluetooth, a USB port for mp3 media. This unit kept all of this working. And with XM built in the factory, there is no separate external antenna as with an aftermarket head unit. It was exactly what I needed. The Crutchfield support was great as well. They gave me the info on my car and the wires I needed to tie into. Pros: Great sound shaping and control utilizing factory stereo. Cons: None for my set up.
Works great...mostly. Written By Tony, S. Florida on Monday, March 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The LCQ-1 installed fairly simply in my 2013 Tacoma PreRunner Double Cab (behind the rear passenger-side, seat, along with the compact powered sub). The unit's quality is very good, and hookup was a snap. The sound improvement with the factory head unit was very noticable, especially with the ACR-2, which allows instant a/b comparison (unit in-circuit/out of circuit). The only problem I had was the GTO circuit (auto turn on by sensing input signals) is apparently too sensitive - like many newer vehicles, there is a slight ripple on the speaker leads, whether the stereo is on or off. This is not audible, but it fools the GTO into keeping the LCQ-1 (and the powered sub 4-channel pwer amp, which are both activated by the LCQ-1's remote out) on whenever the truck's ignition is on. Further, when turning the truck off, ther was a loud transient "pop" in all speakers (including the sub) a few seconds after turning the truck off. I finally had to defeat the GTO via the internal jumper, and connect the remote line to the truck's switched 12 volt supply at the fusebox. All works fine now, but Had I known, I'd have skipped the GTO circuit in the first place, saving a few hours extra work running the remote line. Pros: Excellent improvement in sound quality, while retaining the factory head unit's functionality and features (steering wheel controls, BlueTooth, and Hands-Free phone). Cons: The GTO gave me fits; AudioSource's Tech support was great, but there's only so much that can be done with a modern vehicle, and all the digital funk flying around its electrical system.
Truly great! Written By Bob, Buford , ga on Saturday, March 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in my 12 Honda si coupe. Love it! It really opened up the mods and now my iPod sounds great through the factory head unit. Open box unit looked new, like it was opened and closed, crutchfield was great as usual, double boxes and 2 days. Not enough space to put all the pluses after the A. Pros: Everything! Cons: Wasn't free
Nice idea but... Written By DaleyDriver, Palm Beach FL on Monday, September 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This device works very well - it provides a way to CLEANLY interface with a factory head unit. And the basic eq functions is a welcome addition to smoothing out the frequency response of the cabin. All in all, a great value for the money and a very strong performer. So what's the problem? It comes down to the manual and marketing materials. Both would have you believe that you can take a few as 2 channels of input and turn that into 6 channels of output (front, rear and sub) and you'd waste 2 hours on a rainy Sunday night trying in vain to troubleshoot your sub amp, woofers, interconnects... well you get the picture. In order to get sub out, you must use 4 channels of input, forget what the Summed feature would lead you to think. Once past that hurdle, sonic integration bliss awaits. Pros: Works well, good price, flexible features that work. Cons: Documentation is vague with regards to those of us with only 2 channels of input. Putting the cover back on after moving internal jumpers is an exercise in patience. Get it wrong and you will break an LED or a rotary tuning knob. Cannot sum front main channel input to provide front, mid and sub outs.
Works Great!!!! Written By Anonymous, Clovis,CA on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this for my 08 Acura TL with Navigation works great. I still have all my factory functions of my head unit and steering wheel controls. Pros: Does what it says Cons: None
Not worth the cost Written By Luke R., Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, May 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit appeared to be exactly what I needed to retain my stock head unit and add an aftermarket amplifier. However, the unit does not fully work as advertised. My head unit has no amplifier turn-on lead, meaning that when the ignition switch is on, the LCQ-1 and amp are always on. But wait, the LCQ-1 has the ability to turn itself on by sensing an incoming signal from its speaker inputs. Great idea. Too bad it doesn't work. I tried two of these units and neither would recognize the source signal and power up. The Audio Control technical support was great but none of their suggestions to get it working the way I wanted succeeded. I wound up installing a switch in my dash to turn the loc off when I am not listening to my stereo. My other gripe about this unit is that it is noisy. I thought my amp was generating transistor hiss during idle. Turns out it is the LCQ-1. With the car off, the head unit off, and just the loc and amp turned on, there is considerable idle hiss present. Disconnecting the low level cables from the LCQ-1 proved this, as the hiss totally disappeared. I'll work on this issue to see if I can eliminate it. Pros: the equalizer and bass threshold control Cons: auto signal sensing turn-on ability does not work the cover plate is very difficult to reinstall if you change any of the jumpers on the circuit board (poor design) most of the circuit board jumpers are not labeled according to the documentation's labels (they just have J16 or J10 instead of what they are for)
Not for 2012 Tacoma Written By Todd, New York on Thursday, April 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After purchase of my new 2012 Double Cab Tacoma, I wanted better sound quality. The factory head unit has all the features I want; Bluetooth phone and audio, Sat radio, USB and aux inputs all with steering wheel controls, but the factory speakers were lacking a LOT. This unit was necessary to keep the factory head unit and add a 4 ch. amp, all new speakers and a powered sub. Plus, I was excited to get teh EQ to fine tune the stereo with. Well, apparently this unit doesn't like the signal from the 2012 Toyota radio. I was on the phone with Crutchfield tech support three times on a Sunday afternoon. (Amazing that a company even HAS tech support on a Sunday!) We tested my speaker wires, my power and ground connections and all my RCA outs. Everything into the unit was fine and everything out of the unit was fine. Tech support determines that this unit must be defective, so they immediately ship me a new one. Second unit, same as the first. Frustrated, I call Audio Controls directly. We recheck everything and they even had their engineers try to figure it out. No one can figure out why this doesn't work. So, I get back with Crutchfield and they are very apologetic and we agree to try the JL Cleensweep unit. This is on it's way to me now (fingers crossed that the Toyota head works with it) and I am even getting a discount. Crutchfield is amazing to deal with. Cons: Doesn't seem to work with the Toyota Tacoma 2012 factory radio.
Just what I needed! Written By Fanch, TX on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 I installed this in my 2011 F-150 with the stock factory radio (non-Sony, non-Nav) along with speaker upgrades, amps and subs. I wanted to keep the factory look but fix the horrible factory sound. I was skeptical at first, but now I can honestly say the LCQ-1 is amazing! It works as advertised. The equalizer allowed me to fill the frequency gaps in the factory radio an correct for the bass roll-off at higher volumes. The features if this unit really let you customize the sound the way you want it. It took some trial and error to dial in the EQ but now it sounds perfect. If great sound quality is your goal, you need this unit just as much as the amps and speakers.
AudioControl LCQ-1 Written By BobK, Kentucky on Wednesday, February 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this to integrate with the factory system in my Lexus because the factory sound system was severely lacking. It is a great one piece integration device with several features that are necessary to achieve the quality that an aftermarket system can deliver. My factory system has the HVAC controls, navigation, radio and Bluetooth all built into the one unit so replacing it with an aftermarket head unit is out of the question. I took the factory signal after the amp in the trunk into the LCQ-1 for the front left and right speakers and sub and ran RCA's to my aftermarket amplifiers. I left the factory amplifier hooked up to the center channel and rear speakers because amplifying those was not necessary to achieve a realistic soundstage in my car. The LCQ-1 is 100% noise free and delivers a strong and clean signal to my aftermarket amplifiers. The sound quality is excellent and It is as nice as a top notch aftermarket head unit. The equalizer has enough bands and they are at the right frequencies to address problem areas found in most cars. The EQ is what makes a good system sound great. During this process I also upgraded the factory front speakers to Focal 165 V30 and put some decent power to the factory 10" sub. I plan on installing an aftermarket sub in the near future as well. I used an RTA and my ears to dial things in and achieved a very wide and dynamic sound with properly placed instruments and vocals. It even has an optional sub level control. Pros: High quality processor with typical solid AudioControl electronics and build quality. Compact, easy to use and is a great one piece solution for OEM integration with just enough bells and whistles to satisfy an audiophile.

Is anybody else worried that with the withdrawal of Tanith and Ben from Worlds, US dance could lose one of its spots? I expect Meryl and Charlie be on the podium but will Samuelson and Bates and/or Navarro and Bommentre finish high enough to keep the third spot?
I don't think it'll be a problem. S/B placed 11th at the Olympics, and at least 3 teams ahead of them won't be at Worlds. I think the US is in good shape to get 3 spots in dance next year.
I can see the US only having two spots in each division after these worlds - how embarrassing will that be?
That's not very likely though, unless Jeremy and Ryan both bomb and the European ladies are all spot on and push our girls down the rankings. I don't see that happening though considering the high score Jeremy got for his subpar FS in Vancouver, Mirai's LP score there, and Rachael's LP score with 2 downgraded triples. I'm also not convinced some of the medal favorites in all disciplines won't make mistakes with the pressure of the Olympics off, they could be a bit unfocused. It could happen though, but the US team is made up of tough competitors, I don't think they will let us down.
It will be quite a tribute to US men if our top two are missing and we still get the 3 spots. Which I think will happen.
He's still going; I meant Evan & Johnny as the missing top two.
I would think the combination of Jeremy and Adam should be quite enough to qualify the US for 3 spots. The depth in mens is admirable.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS -- My car has been "in the shop" off and on (more on then off) for the past seven months for transmission problems. Once my son picked it up for me and he didn't get more than a mile away before he had to take it back. I was assured the transmission was in working order.
Finally, my car stalled on the Interstate and I had to have it towed home. I was called and kept up-to-date at this point. They took it to a Volkswagen dealership since it still had the factory warranty. Next I hear, through my son, that they called and said I owe CarMax thousands because the warranty didn't cover it. I called and left messages that were unanswered. I did not give permission to spend that kind of money. CarMax has ignored me for more than a month.
I sent a registered letter to their corporate office and to the local dealership's General Manager requesting copies of the repairs made on my car and a written statement of what they felt I needed to do to get my car back.
I never heard from anyone at their corporate office or local manager. I then finely got a phone message from their service manager saying he wanted to chat with me about the car and he understood I wanted some paperwork. At this point, I do not trust this company and will not discuss this on the phone. I left the repair manager a message to that effect and I again requested a written statement and copies of my repairs. His response was a message saying he wants me to call him about the car. His messages do not match my questions and requests. I called again requesting the repair bills and statement of what they want from me. I left my work fax number. I do find it peculiar that there is no email address to contact the local store and in their phone directory there is no option to talk to the general manager. And also, it appears, they do not want anything in writing.
I cannot resolve this without the information I am requesting. I have bought two other cars from CarMax and never had any issues with them until this car. I am a widow of a disabled veteran with a small income. I do not have the recourses to get another car. I am walking, taking the bus, and relying on friends to get me to the grocery store. This is causing me great anxiety which is affecting my health, and causing me to miss important evening meetings related to my job.
NORCROSS, GEORGIA -- We were recently at the store in Norcross, GA. It was very unpleasant. I had gone in to look/buy a 2010 Dodge Caliber. It took about 5 minutes to find the vehicle we wanted since we had done some research on their website prior. We sat down with the salesman Keith [snip]. The first day we spent 5 hours there. We went through everything paperwork, down payment, insurance. You name it we did it. He kept running back and forth, and coming back with "The financial department needs this, and this". He was extremely UN-organized. When it was all over with we had given him everything. Just as we went into the signing room he pulled us out of the signing room and said "Carmax" would not let us have the car until my DL had been changed over to GA. Now..I can agree that was my fault, but he had seen my DL at the very beginning he couldn't tell me this before I wasted all that time, and we had gone through all of that? Well I left the dealership and the next day I went and got my correct DL. So at that point there was nothing else that needed to be done. I had kept in contact with him every single day since he had said he would hold the vehicle for me. He assured me when we came in again that it would be a very quick process and nothing else would happen. Well we showed up a 2nd day, and he had to redo the paperwork. After telling us he wouldn't have to, that everything was finished with the Caliber. That took almost 3 hours. The sales person was extremely UN-knowledgeable and did not answer many questions. When we asked him why he kept re-submitting the information for the loan approvals he said he had to do that every time he had to correct something on the paperwork. All the mistakes on the paperwork was his fault. I was sitting behind him in the office looking at his computer screen and I corrected him several times on things that were wrong. Finally when the paperwork was done and we went into the signing room we sat there for almost a hour. No one came over people kept looking at us and finally I asked, "What is going on"? No one said anything. Finally someone came over, sat down and said.."We are sorry we cannot find the Calibers Title. We are looking for it.." Now..we had spoken to our sales person several times we were under the impression the deal was done, then when we get to the final stages the car title is not available. My sales person was not even going to tell me this until I asked him. Let me add to this my Grandmother was with me she is elderly, has some health problems..but she was there helping me find a good vehicle since she has had some dealings with dealerships, and she knows how they work. My grandmother had to ask the sales person 3 times, "What was going on with the car, and why was it taking so long"? He kept dodging the question and would not answer her. Finally he told her, and she asked him the same thing we did, "How can you have a vehicle for sale on your car lot and have no idea where the title is"? Now out of all of those days that I spoke with him, and the first day of going through the paperwork I was told all of this was done. It wasn't anything of the sorts. I would think if he knew we were coming back and had shown that much interest in that vehicle he would have made sure everything was together. To top it all off shortly after that happened, he told us he had to go home. His wife was there to pick him up. So he handed us off to another salesman. Yes the other salesman was great, but we had to go through everything all over again. To top it all off..They had no other calibers, and told us they could have one shipped from another Carmax but it would not be there until tomorrow. So we ended up having to choose something else off of the lot. We did not leave the dealership until 10:30 P.M. that night. All over Carmax there were signs up saying, "You can have a stress-free, enjoyable, good price, buying experience." We got none of those things. Also the commercials that say, "The way car buying should be". After that I will probably never go through any of that ever again. I walked away with a car I do like, but somewhat feel like we settled because we could not get our first choice. The car is a great car, but it was not exactly what we wanted. I am very unhappy about this whole situation. I've never had a experience like this in my life. I feel lied to, and ran-around.
CALIFORNIA -- Where can I start this nightmare???
First, I had the funds to purchase the vehicle I ALWAYS wanted, BRAND NEW, CASH MONEY... I found the vehicle listed online at CarMax in Huston Tx. After about a dozen calls and three days of dealing with that dealership to get pictures of the described vehicle with no luck, I asked for someone to go out and describe the vehicle to me, I got two hang-ups from them. I guess they were to busy for a $40,000.00 cash sale. I finally asked for the GM and DEMANDED the for him to go out to the vehicle and describe it to me since they were "TO BUSY" to post the pictures.
I liked the vehicle so paid the $599.00 to have it transferred to California. I was told it would take 28 days, FIRM. I said that was fine, for the funds for the sale were also 28 days out. It arrived 14 days early and I was treated like I was lying about the funds and was asked for PROOF that the funds were soon to be available.
I showed the deposit receipt for almost $94,000.00 and the funds would be available in 5 days. I was asked to give a check and it would be held for the five days and then deposited for the sale of the vehicle. THEY LIED..... The check was deposited the SAME DAY... and it BOUNCED TO THE MOON and completely RUINED my vacations because my account was in a multi-thousand dollar NEGATIVE amount... PLUS the day I did pick the vehicle up it looked like S@#$, I asked for it to be detailed and it was nothing more than rinsed off and not even
vacuumed out.
I was then apologized to PROFUSELY and PROMISED it would never happen again and CarMax, I was then asked to provide a cashiers check for the amount since the check bounced (CarMax's fault). I went to my bank and acquired the cashiers check as requested. In the infinite wisdom of CarMax, they REDEPOSITED the check when I had ALREADY taken the funds out in a cashiers check... SO, this check has now bounced for a second time...
My checking account, for the second time, is now over $50,000.00 over drawn and checks are bouncing all over the place. I spent several hours on the phone and at my banks ATM doing damage repair for what CarMax had done to my account and had to re- deposit the cashiers check to keep other check from bouncing, namely checks written to my daughter that they, employed by other banks, had any holds waived. Had these checks bounced they would have lost their jobs due to CarMax's stupidity.
CarMax Modesto PROMISES they will reimburse me ALL expenses... BUT what I am saying WHAT ABOUT THE INCONVENIENCE AND THE DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER AND THE REPEATED TRIPS TO MY BANK AND THE "HOURS" SPENT ON THE PHONE WITH MY BANK AND CARMAX FOR THEIR SCREW-UPS? PLUS, WHAT IF MY DAUGHTERS HAD LOST THEIR JOBS BECAUSE OF THIS?
Total tally:
Pictures of the truck... three days
Arriving 14 days early and demanding proof of the money...
Received the vehicle looking like S@#$...
CarMax Deposited a check that was supposed to be HELD for five days....
Demanded a Cashiers Check THEN REDEPOSITED THE ORIGINAL CHECK...
Almost causing the termination of my 3 daughters from their jobs as bank tellers...
Can I express how angry I am with CarMax??????????????
Their incompetence is not measurable......
CarMax must start some MAJOR damage control RIGHT NOW!!!!
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA -- I went to the Boynton Beach FL CarMax for a quick sale of my Kia Forte after a break up w/ my ex in order to sell my Kia Forte that he had been driving. Because of a convoluted situation where he owes me 18 months of rent and bills but did some remodeling work in the house, I agreed to sell the car which I bought new and give him the surplus money after the car loan was paid off up to 5 grand.
Well, they offered me a very low ball offer. I sold them a 2012 Kia forte w/ 44k miles in excellent condition which they offered me $9000.00 for. They're selling 2010 Kia Forte's with 56k miles that can't be in better condition for 13k as of this writing, so it was definitely a low ball offer. The only reason I took it is because I wasn't getting the money from the car so I didn't really care. In fact because I was giving my ex the money it kind of was worthwhile to watch him walk away with less. If it hadn't been for that little twist of fate where he got less money I'd have waited and sold it privately for 12K. But I had no horse in the race so the quicker the better. And he wasn't going to offer me anything to improve his lot. If he'd have offered me a couple thousand and gotten a private loan he'd have been able to take over the note himself but it is what it is.
Anyway I sat in the caramel office for hours while the guy I dealt with went off showing cars to other people. then I finally went off to drop my ex at the rental car place, came back and saw the lowball offer and said hell with it just accept it since I'm not making a nickel off it anyway. Oh the car has brand new tires and tinted windows on it too which the windows were 150 and the tires 600 bucks alone.
BRANDYWINE, MARYLAND -- I am so disappointed in my first experience with Carmax at the Brandywine, Md location. They did not meet my expectations at all. When I first arrived, no salesmen came to help me so that I can check out the vehicle that I found online prior to arriving. They just sent me over to the appraisal section and told me the person that I spoke to over the phone would be with me shortly.That person never came over to help. I waited an hour and a half to get car appraised by the way. I had to actually go over back to the front desk to ask if someone could help me so that I could check out the car that I was interested in. When someone did, then we walked around for about 10 min to discover the car was no longer there. Then we had to go back inside to check the stock # and actually find where the vehicle was. The salesman assisting had issues getting into computer, left the station for about 20 minutes and during that time he had been chatting w/ co-workers, while I sat there waiting. He finally came back got into system and found that car had already been sold. Then my car finally got appraised and the gentleman appraising it informed me that they do not offer Kelley blue book value. He appraised my car for $2500 less than what the Kelley blue book value was in poor condition.That was huge disappointment. After that, I went back to speak w/ person assisting me with trade in, and basically he became very short and unhelpful with trying to continue with process of trading in my vehicle. I decided it wasn't the time to continue w/ process, the salesmen said okay and didn't seem concerned at all with helping me stay there and make the trade. I was there a total of two and half hours, and it was a complete disappointing waste of my time.
VIRGINIA -- I have purchased two different cars from CarMax that have somehow ended up breaking down after 6 months. The first one was in and out of the shop a few times a month. The end result was 3 catalytic converters died; my muffler crumbled to pieces, and my ball joint was so old the mechanic told me I was lucky to still be alive. One time I had my car in the shop at CarMax and an employee stole multiple belongings out of my car that were never able to be returned. When I asked about trading my car in because I had enough, I was told they would only give me $4,000.
I complained and complained until they raised it to $6,000. I am now $14,000 in debt with my last car and now this car that I bought after. When I called CarMax they pretty much told me I was out of luck or could trade this car in for another but that would possibly make me a good $20,000+ in debt. I will soon be left with no car, no money to fix my car, and no money to get a new car. If this wasn't the second car I had bought from CarMax I wouldn't be so mad but it is. I am officially left high and dry. I work 13 hours a day to be able to afford my car but it has now left me unable to feed myself half the time.
This is unbelievably ridiculous that I have been through all of this with no help from CarMax!! I have looked into legal advice but figured I would contact someone higher than a store manager. I have wasted almost 2-3 years' worth of money on broken cars from CarMax. I am not happy!!!
PLANO, TEXAS -- Took a SL500 to Carmax in Plano, TX to sell. Got $25,000.00 for it. Took the deal. Went through all the paperwork, signed in all the places told, got a check (they call draft)and left. I deposit the check a couple days later, and a week after that, I get a call from my bank that the check was returned.
I ask if its stamped NSF. Bank officer says strange, it doesn't have anything stamped on it. So off to call Carmax. Of course this all occurs during the snow storm that hit during Super Bowl. The Plano office is closed due to weather. I call corporate. They are worthless. Finally after I threaten to call the local DA's office and State Attorney Generals office I get a call back from the finance manager at the Plano Carmax.
He goes on to tell me how he saw the mistake, but had no way to contact me. (BS). Long story short, they put a stop payment on my check because where he says that where I was directed to sign the title, was in the wrong spot. So after me telling him what I thought and it was all BS, he could have called or tried, he said he'd see if the Houston Carmax could overnite me a check. I get my bank officer on the phone (3 way) and have the bank officer give the Carmax manager the banks address to deposit the check to rather than to me and then to the bank. The bank is pissed I have a bad check of $25,000.00 that got returned, so I want them to know it isn't my fault. Everything I did was in good faith.
So ask the manager, why are you overnighting me a new check if my title is still incorrect. His response, "I hope you'll work with us".
I'm still waiting on that check.
ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA -- [snip] (Manager) at CARMAX 4100 Inland Empire Ontario CA wanted me to sign a credit application anyway, falsely claiming "it's required by CARMAX to test drive there autombiles since I test drove an auto 2 mths ago. [snip] please note that there is no verse in the Patriot Act that I can find requiring me to fill out a credit application, or allowing dealers to run credit checks on you when you bring your own car financing or want to test drive an auto.
You are misleading the your own sales personnel by training them wrongly. Your bogus claim sounds believable. The manager at Carmax was asked by me to show me the exact section of the Patriot Act requires them to make you fill out a credit application when you have your own financing or TEST drive and auto, and collect my Social Security number, and run your credit report.
Since [snip] claimed it's required, they should be able to show you the verbiage. Hint for Manager the Patriot Act (H. R. 3162), Section 326 "Verification of identification" requires banks and financial institutions to verify your ID before you open an account. [snip] since I am not opening an account with Carmax dealership and [snip] hint Carmax is not a bank, you don't need you to fill out a credit application or a Patriot Act form to test drive get that out of your head.
The Patriot Act form I filled out for example are my mortgage only asks for your loan number and driver's license number, not your SS#, and it does not say "Credit Application" on it [snip] you get my drift here. The Patriot Act specifically calls out driver's licenses or passports for ID verification. Nothing more. Please Don't fool me or any other people into filling out the credit app to test drive your RANGE ROVER or any auto. But why all the lies [snip] shame on you working for a big organization like Carmax! I need an apology from you Micheal!
GLENCOE, ILLINOIS -- Upon a recent purchase of a 2008 Town and Country Mini Van from the Glencoe Carmax, I had my own mechanic look the vehicle over. He commented that the air filter was dirty and that the brakes were down to 4 mm and would need replacement sooner than I would like. He suggested asking Carmax to take care of these 2 items especially considering the cost of the vehicle.
I spoke to Carmax within the 5 day purchase period and explained what my mechanic had stated.
I was told (or at least given the impression) that they would make good on both the brakes and the air filter. An appointment was set and I assumed all was well until I arrived this morning for my appointment.
The mechanic informed me that the brakes were fine as far as he was concerned and that they didn't have the air filter in stock.
Why didn't they call me and save me the 40 minute trip to their facility. I told the head of service that this had been arranged over a week ago. Why didn't they have filter ready?
I spoke with the corporate office and the customer service representative agreed that I was definitely mislead into thinking that the brakes would be covered. However, he would not honor the service.
I asked what happened to the good old days of the customer being right and honoring one's word. I was simply given a lame response of "I'm sorry and I understand how you would have assumed the brakes would be done". Also, I was told that the filter was to be sent to another location and that I could pick it up there.
Thanks Carmax. This is the second and last vehicle I will purchase from your company and the last time I will refer colleagues and friends to your dealerships.
That $190.00 brake job that you promised but later refused will cost much more to you in the long run in lost sales.
Too bad customer service has gone by the wayside.
HUNTSVILLE, AL, ALABAMA -- I bought a 2004 Mustang V6 from these ruffians... Worst thing I could have ever done.
I was eager to buy the car "My Mistake" which made me sign fast. I did not look through the options properly and it stated that the car had cruise control on it... when it didn't... I went to them a few months afterwards to claim it but they told me that they would charge an extra $200.00... an extra $200.00!!! After they overcharge you for the regular car, they charged me for the features, they wanted to charge me again!
The clutch was worn out, the engine had lost horsepower that could not be fixed with any gas cleaners, treatment or filters, the driver side window got damaged, The car's Radio malfunctioned when reading CDs, The Rack & Pinion had to be replaced because I was having problems steering. Turns out that the power steering pump was damaged too. Then I went to complain about the clutch, the idiots told me it was engine sound... the clutch. These people know NOTHING about cars, they just rip you off and get off with their overly expensive price... I really wonder, if they inspect the car... how come MY car had so many issues? I can bet you they only Carfax it and they go with whatever Carfax says. I don't think they spend a dime inspecting cars... How could they fully inspect a car when they miss out on ALL that I mentioned + they miss out that the car has cruise control on it... HOW?! They did not helped me with the clutch problem sine they told me the car was... "fine"... I found out I did their no haggle price for $3,000 more of what the car was worth...
Please, don't buy from them... do your research & look for another used car. Or you know what? Buy a new one, because buying a used car from CarMax is going to be a heck of a lot more than a new one.... They charge you extra for doing something they don't do... which is inspect the car...
I implore you to go somewhere else, don't give into their hype, I'm a serious person and I try not to overreact, but I lost thousands of dollars due to this & this is the only review I can make...
I finished trading off the car, losing some money, but hey, I got a way better car that has given me no issues so far...
Good luck getting your car & have a tgreat day,
An disappointed customer from CarMax.

Phoronix: Fedora 18 Fails At ARM Wrestling Arch, Ubuntu, Linaro
Fedora 18 was officially released this week for x86/x86_64, but the ARM version of Fedora 18 "Spherical Cow" is still under development. Fedora 18 for ARM went into beta last week and since then benchmarks were carried out comparing Spherical Cow on ARM to other popular ARM Linux distributions.
The results are consistent throughout. There must be some simple explanation.
Interesting. So Ubuntu on the Nexus does make sense then, it's performance is not the worst it could be.
In all likelihood, there are many little tweaks that are collectively responsible. If I had to guess, I would assume that Ubuntu inherited the Linaro improvements. I would expect Linaro to focus in these core areas:
- Patching code to remove the necessity of -fno-strict-aliasing. This uses a clever hack to avoid the need for the compiler to deliberately generate slow code because of the pointer aliasing problem. This is moderately difficult to do in userland and a nightmare to do in the kernel.
- Link Time Optimization. This enables interprocedural optimizations to be done accross all code in use by a program, which is an area where there is a fair amount of overhead to shave. I have heard of Gentoo users attempting it in userland with a fair degree of success. There was a report of this being done in the kernel, which should provide a fairly significant performance gain in some workloads. I would not be surprised if this technique has been deployed by Linaro, with Ubuntu inheriting it.
- Improved compiler optimization passes. This can yield system-wide improvements, but is very difficult to do well. I know that Linaro does these and has gained at least a small performance boost from it in the past. As far as I know, upstream GCC can be slow at merging such improvements. That is likely because deciding what changes are good and what are bad is fairly difficult problem. No one cares how fast binaries are if they segfault.
- Cacheline optimizations. This can prevent page faults that require expensive trips to memory. The main place to do this would be in libc's malloc, but there are some other places where this can be done.
If Michael wanted to analyze the reason why Ubuntu seems to outperform Fedora in every situations, he could run benchmaks in the following chroot environments:
- A Ubuntu chroot on Ubuntu
- A Fedora chroot on Ubuntu
- A Ubuntu chroot on Fedora.
- A Fedora chroot on Fedora
That would isolate the kernel from the userland and help narrow where to look for the origin of these improvements. However, I do not expect this to happen. That would mean doing the analysis necessary to make the information in his benchmarks useful by explaining why it is the way it is and how it can improve, which Michael never does. That is a shame because some of the investigations that Michael could be doing would inform users of tweaks that could be beneficial. The most obvious of which is setting Nouveau to run GPUs at stock clocks instead of the lowest speed setting when playing games.

Your post above suggests you want to see the results of such analysis. Is that not a reason to want do to it?

Goffstown looks to expand access at high school
GOFFSTOWN - Installing four new parking spaces in front of the high school gymnasium for use by handicapped individuals and senior citizens during elections could cost around $42,000, Town Administrator Susan Desruisseaux told selectmen last night.
Desruisseaux's comments came about a month after she toured the outside of the high school with local disability advocate Wayne Perreault and Jillian Shedd of the Governor's Commission on Disability in what was effectively an audit of the school's compliance with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Following the walk through and around the exterior of the high school on March 27, Shedd determined that while the high school is in compliance with ADA accessibility requirements, more could be done to improve handicap and senior citizens' access to the polls during elections.
Among the options discussed was a temporary ramp or curb cut in front of the section of the building that houses the gymnasium and the cafeteria, and additional handicapped parking spaces in front of the gym.
Present at last night's selectmen's meeting were SAU 19 Superintendent Stacy Buckley and School Board Chairman Dian McCarthy, both of whom are expected to bring Desruisseaux's estimate and Perreault's concerns to the full school board at some future date. Neither Buckley nor McCarthy offered a timeframe last night for when that may happen.
Earlier this month, Perreault sent a letter to selectmen offering to donate $100 toward the parking spaces.
"Please accept this donation . to be used for the construction of four new accessible parking spaces at the entrance of the gym and cafeteria at Goffstown High School," Perreault wrote. "I am donating $25 for each new space constructed and will donate $25 for each additional space constructed with and adjacent to these proposed spaces."
At the selectmen's meeting where Perreault's offer was made, Dessruisseaux and selectmen suggested the money be returned to Perreault until an all boards meeting could be held to determine whether it's the school district's or the town's responsibility to pay for having the parking spots installed.
There has been some confusion in the past regarding this situation because the town, as required by law, has an ADA coordinator, who happens to be Desruisseaux, while the school district does not.

Comments about Nalgene 32oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle:
I have 3 of these water bottles (2 blue & 1 red). These are great to take pretty much anywhere.
They hold a perfect amount of liquid and are BPA free. I've dropped these water bottles too many times to count and you'd barely even notice. They are built to last.
These bottles are a little bigger, so if space is a big concern they may not be for you.

What Happened in Texas
Evaluating smart meters and public backlash.
The envisioned smart grid includes the digital automation of the power supply system to improve the security, quality, reliability, efficiency, and safety of electric power, as well as to make the system more environmentally friendly. Advanced ( i.e., smart) meters and the associated smart metering systems are an integral part of the smart grid. According to the Edison Foundation, 38 states are pursuing deployment of smart meters and almost 60 million smart meters are expected to be installed in the next 10 years—approximately 47 percent of U.S. households. The worldwide installed base of smart meters is expected to reach 302.5 million by 2015. 1
The shift to smart meters and smart metering systems in Texas has been widely supported by both electric utilities and the legislative and regulatory bodies in the state of Texas. Much of that support derives from the significant perceived benefits to the utilities and their customers that are expected from the deployment of smart meters and metering systems, and the overall development of the smart grid.
The three largest transmission and distribution service providers (TDSPs) in Texas, under the regulatory authority of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), began installing smart meters in late 2008. Oncor Electric Delivery was the first utility in Texas to begin mass deployment of smart meters to its approximately 3.4 million residential and non-residential retail electric customers. Oncor was followed by CenterPoint Energy, which began deploying advanced meters to its 2.4 million customers in early 2009. AEP Central Texas and AEP North Texas—collectively AEP Texas—began initial deployment of advanced meters to 1.1 million customers in November 2009. As of September 2010, these TDSPs have installed more than 2.1 million smart meters and expect to have 6.5 million smart meters installed within the next three years.

If you weren't there you missed a good run - I've attached a few shots. The weather was great - It was clear and I think it made it to 62 Sat afternoon (even though it was snowing in 'sconny as I drove through on Friday morning and was 27 degrees!)
We got to the pond about 10:30 Saturday morning and ran subs and BSed until about 3 PM. They had lowered the water in the pond by almost a foot but there was still enough water to submerge and it was nice and clear.
They have installed a new bronze statue of two servicemen down by the flags - very nice.
Chris Campbell - brought his US Navy destroyer. If you know Chris - give him heck about not having a working sub!!!
Dave Hampton - a big WWII Finlander sub - the hull is done and the WTC is under construction. Dave's using a thigh sized BP bladder for the ballast system.
Bob Eisler - type XXIII and Robbe U-47
Brian Brozek - Bruggen Delphin
Gene Wisner - unstarted 1/72 Scale Shipyard Gato and new Merriman WTC
John Schagane - Thor LA and D&E WTC 3.0
Tom Dye - D&E Skipjack with some nifty light panels installed for night running. Tom's boat stalled out on him but he brought his fishing rod with a tennisball on the end of the line, casted it out and retrieved the errant sub without having to climb into clammy waders!
Kerry Addington - came to shoot the breeze.
Eric Coons - new guy from Cinci. Getting fired up to work on his sub - he is building a lost foam Albacore.
Matt Munger and his GF - Carol Carol is a great sport, helped Matt carry his stuff and sat watched and smiled and chatted the whole time - even tried running his sub for awhile - Bruggen Delphin and 32nd P type XXIII.
Me - Type 32nd P type XXIII - ran well. Had a little water in the WTC 3.0 but not enough to mess things up.
Chris, John, Dave and I talked about possible dates for the regatta (yes we are doing it again) since the usual date is off limits due to the Brickyard 500 being run on the last weekend in July. Chris is going to do some checking as to availabilities.
Chris Campbell's USS Donald Ross, Arleigh Burke class DDG Destroyer keeps an eye on a surfaced U-boat.
Kind of a neat shot of Bob Eisler's type XXIII conning tower and scope.
Bob Eisler runs his Type XXIII
Tom Dye tightens up the set screws on his Skipjack
Matt Munger and his GF, Carol.

All those super abilities and yet he is powerless when it comes to stopping the receding hairline; tragic!
On another note, Latino Review is reporting that Darkseid is the JL villain. I guess Thanos and Darkseid will be squaring off in 2015. Take it with a grain of salt, it is the LR afterall.
What irks me about that poster is that it looks like someone took a picture of it with their cell phone camera, and the lens flare is the reflection of the flash. Looks very cheap and uninspired for a film that I'm otherwise very excited about.
That suit looks like shit. It's like they had left over material from the Spiderman suit
I don't get it. Superman in cuffs? Either he is letting them arrest him of he is wearing Krytonite cuffs. But how does this concept fit into the sotry? Spiderman is the public enemy number one even though he is the hero. That is his deal. But Supes? That is not his style. So what is the deal?
BTW, I give the poster a 3 out of five stars. It is interesting but not exciting.
Humans are scared of what a SUPERman can do. It's as simple as the misunderstood superhero. I think in real life we all would be a little scared, at least at first. I can see him surrendering to ease their fears and assuage their suspicions.
Or maybe he destroyed something while rescuing a cat
Flying without a license?
Indecent attire?
Illegal alien status?
I'm hoping that's the reason in the movie, Wise. He's submitted to police before in other comics and tv series, so there's no reason to think otherwise here. Thought I have heard a rumor that he may lose his powers at some point in the movie. Hope it's not accurrate. Thought we were distancing ourselves from the Donner flicks, but no powers and Zod as the villian sounds an awful lot like Superman 2.

The regression got introduced in git commit a7cf4145bb86aaf85d4d4d29a69b50b688e2e49d on May 21st, and has the effect of causing udev to go into an infinite loop consuming tons of CPU.

Besides the version number the changes are so small that not even ATI knows em, when you look at the missing changelog
What a great surprise... Are you sure this 9.5 Catalyst isn't the same with 9.4 one??
To be more specific:
1. Still NO Hybrid Crossfire for my system opensuse 11.1, Xorg 7.4, Xserver 1.6.1, Radeon HD 3450 and onboard HD 3200.. Neither by enabling it as root nor as user it works, always the PC freezes when trying to load X. I enabling it via the standart procedure aticonfig etc...
2. I still see garbage on my screen when the system changes VT in order to reboot or shutdown
3. Still NO XvBA support for accelerated video arrived
4. Still no 2.6.29 Kernel support
For me the only difference between this catalyst and the previous one is the emblem 'Ati Premium Graphics' at amdcccle panel...
Totally dissapointed...
Besides the version number the changes are so small that not even ATI knows em, when you look at the missing changelog
Disclaimer: this post relates only to my personal experiences.
This all makes me glad I switched to nvidia after this trainwreck of a driver fried my old ATI card. There was a heatsink 3x bigger than it came with and it still overheated.
Now I have a passive cooled and OC'd Geforce 9600 running at 44°C. And the games actually run instead of crashing.
You get 12 drivers, if one driver is more useful than the one before does not seem to matter. ATI does everything for the beloved version number junkies...
I'm trying to use this driver for my FC8 system, kernel 22.214.171.124-57.fc8 and graphics card "Mobility FireGL 5250". I see no error msgs except from the kernel at boot which states that fglrx is already in the kernel AND I still have that watermark.
Did I do something wrong?
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can resolve this problem?
Judging from this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...#FireGL_series
9-3 is the last supported driver for that card since AMD stopped supporting the R300 - R500 cards.
9-4 and above should support the Mobility FireGL 5600 and above.
The open ati driver seems to develop faster than nouveau, right?
I have just updated from 9.4 to 9.5.
I am running a HD48500 on kubuntu 9.04.
I find that with catalyst 9.5, the video playback is really less smooth than with 9.4 version when using "gl" video output (in smplayer). Using "xv" video output the rendering is much better, but fatal crashes are occuring when switching fullscreen if compositing is activated.

Exactly why would Windows anything be relevant to me?. I have zero intentions of going back to Windows, so of what relevance is it that Windows is faster?. It's not about whining, It's about relevance, being faster doesn't remove the back-doors, law enforcement agreements or insecurity of old code that's built on top of something thats a decade old.
So what now, is this just Phoronix in a bad mood and decides to fight it's users?. Sorry I don't get it, and I don't get why I should care about what's happening on the Windows platform either.
