dc.description.abstract | This dissertation investigates the practice of leadership in collaboratively designed and funded research in a university setting. More specifically, this research explores the meaning of leadership as experienced by researchers who were, or still are, engaged on Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) funded collaborative research projects in a university setting. This qualitative study (Gay & Airasian, 2003) is situated within a social constructivist paradigm (Kezar, Carducci, & Contreras-McGavin, 2006) and involves an analysis of the responses from 12 researchers who answered 11questions related to my overarching research question: What is the impact of leadership on university based collaborative research projects funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council based on the experiences of researchers involved? The data that emerged supported and enhanced the existing literature related to leadership and collaborative groups in academia. The type of preferred leadership that emerged as a result of this research seemed to indicate that the type of leader that appeared to be optimal in this context might be described as a functional collaborative expert. | en_US |

Hellingly Hospital
Coordinates: 50°53′20″N 0°16′11″E / 50.88889°N 0.26972°E
Hellingly Hospital, formerly the East Sussex County Asylum was a large psychiatric hospital close to the village of Hellingly, east of Hailsham, in the English county of East Sussex.
Design and construction[edit]
The County Authority of East Sussex decided to build a new lunatic asylum at the turn of the twentieth century after problems of overcrowding at the Haywards Heath Asylum, formerly the Sussex County Asylum.[1] To this end the County Council purchased the 400-acre (160 ha) Park Farm estate, a short distance from Hellingly village and railway station, from the earl of Chichester for £16,000. Construction began in 1898[2] and the new asylum was built to a compact arrow plan by George Thomas Hine, consultant architect to the Commissioners in Lunacy.[1] The hospital opened on July 20th, 1903 at a total cost of £353,400.[2]
The main complex comprised an administrative block, central stores, kitchens, a recreation hall and the assistant medical officer's residence. Like most large institutions of this age and type the sexes were separated into separate accommodation and work areas. To the west of the central block stood the male wards, workshops, boiler house, water tower and maintenance department. The female wards were located on the east side of the hospital along with the laundry, sewing room and a nurses' home. All of the buildings in the main complex were linked by an extensive network of corridors.
To the north of the main buildings were a chapel and four further villas including one for male working patients, two for female working patients and another for mentally defective children. Park House, a hospital annexe for acute cases was located to the southwest of the main asylum and a small isolation hospital for infectious diseases was placed in the woods to the far north-west of the grounds to reduce the risk of infection. The estate plan incorporated two driveways: one from the south-west lined with medical officers' residences and the acute hospital and another second from the south routed via the farm, male farm-workers' villa and married attendants' cottages.[1]
Hospital railway[edit]
The hospital had its own electric tramway, the Hellingly Hospital Railway. The line led from the Hellingly Station to the boilerhouse and was used principally for transporting coal for the heating boilers and electricity plant. The line closed to passenger traffic in 1930 and the track was lifted in 1959 at which time the hospital boilers were converted from coal to oil fuel.[2]
Later developments and decline[edit]
Post-war developments included the conversion of the Superintendent's residence to a nurse's home, the closure of the hospital farm, the construction of Tennyson house and the staff social club. During the mid-1980s, Hellingly was chosen as one of five mental hospital sites in the south east of England to accommodate a medium secure unit, known as Ashen Hill and located to the east of the main buildings and villas. Despite these developments, patient numbers were already declining and the entire main building was vacated and closed in 1994.[1]
Abandonment and demolition[edit]
After closure, most of the buildings fell into rapid decline, suffering from arson, vandalism and theft. By 2003 the site had become popular with urban explorers who came to document the vast abandoned complex. In mid-2010, work began to clear the site for new housing. Only a few of the original buildings now remain, although the Ashen Hill secure unit continued to operate on site until early 2012. Another low secure unit is on the site known as Southview which was opened in 2000. The new Medium secure unit, known as The Hellingly Centre opened in April 2012, with 46 beds split between 3 wards at a cost of £17.5 million. Plans are underway for more units alongside the new housing[2]

Abstract: | During the catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) the gas phase has been investigated by applying linear Raman spectroscopy and particle image velocimetry (PIV) in a specially designed cold wall reactor. Via PIV the impingement of the feed flow onto the hot Si-wafer could be characterized by determining the flow field. Through the Raman experiments, it was possible to measure in situ the acetylene conversion as well as the temperature progress over reaction time. Furthermore, a concept has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of the gas and the solid phase during the CCVD of CNTs. This makes possible the simultaneous in situ measurement of the gas phase composition, the gas phase temperature and the characteristics of the growing CNTs with a high temporal and spatial resolution, such that these comprehensive investigations can provide a sustained understanding of the CNTs nucleation and growth mechanism, which for the first time consider the intermediate reaction steps taking place inside the reactor. |

For fans of tease and hot girls stripping.
Ah, would that all office work was this interesting. This may not be the standard method for interviewing a new secretary, but it is a lot more fun. Which secretary would you want to take your – dictation? That's the question that this pleasurable bit of fluff attempts to answer. Seven beauties compete for the title of Wildest Secretary, demonstrating their best qualities for the interviewers.
While we listen to them talking about their fantasies and "job skills", each contestant does a little stage strip and dance, followed by a more intimate tease scene. Interspersed are backstage scenes of them getting ready for the show.
All in all, this is a fun little title with some truly lovely office workers.

Shoreland Lutheran's Adam Freitag joined some exclusive company over the weekend.
Freitag, a 6-foot-1 senior, was one of four players to be a unanimous choice to the inaugural All-Metro Classic Conference first team. The others: Racine Lutheran's Clay Stevens, Marquette recruit Duane Wilson, Whitefish Bay Dominican teammate Diamond Stone, a highly sought after recruit in the class of 2015.
Adam Freitag scored 31 points, but a late offensive surge wasn't enough as Young Coggs Prep ended Shoreland Lutheran's season with a 73-68 victory in a WIAA Division-4 regional semifinal in Somers. ... The Pacers (13-10) outscored YCP 32-26 in an uptempo fourth quarter, but scoring just 36 in the first three quarters proved too much to overcome. "We struggled putting the ball in the cylinder tonight," Shoreland coach Paul Strutz said. "When you don't play your best in the playoffs, you lose." ... Freitag scored 27 in the second half, while Jake Andersen added 10 points for the Pacers. ... Stephon Brown and Isaac Gillium had 20 points apiece for the Eagles (14-9), while D'Landric Winzer added 16 in the victory. ... "It was a great year by these kids, they overachieved," Strutz said.
The Shoreland boys basketball team saw what happened when Jacob Thren stays within himself on Thursday night.
The senior scored 36 points as the Pacers handled Milwaukee Thomas More 68-56 in a Metro Classic Conference game in Somers.
RACINE — The first 3½ minutes were ideal for the Shoreland Lutheran boys basketball team Friday night.
KENOSHA — In the waning seconds of the first half, St. Joseph senior Alex Foster grabbed a defensive rebound, took two dribbles and launched a shot from beyond midcourt.
As the buzzer sounded, the ball banked high off the glass and fell through the rim as the Lancer faithful exploded.
SOMERS — There's really no other way to put it: This was an absolutely brutal loss for the Shoreland Lutheran boys basketball team.
Up by eight points with 4 minutes, 21 seconds to play, the Pacers appeared to be on their way to an encouraging Metro Classic Conference win over talented Racine St. Catherine's.
SOMERS — Listening to Shoreland Lutheran boys basketball coach Paul Strutz say, "I thought the kids played well," after a 21-point loss Thursday might make your eyebrows furrow.
You might accuse Strutz of wearing rose-colored glasses, or perhaps trying to use reverse psychology to motivate his team.
Luckily for the Shoreland boys basketball team, games contain two halves.
The Pacers shook off what coach Paul Strutz called a "lethargic" first half in defeating Racine Lutheran 51-45 in a Metro Classic Conference game on Tuesday night in Somers.
The Shoreland Lutheran boys basketball team used a late game run to put its struggles in close contests behind them on Saturday.
Adam Freitag sparked a 7-0 run and the Pacers beat host Union Grove 51-43 in non-conference action.
In its first game since Dec. 21 and in front of an Alumni Night crowd, the Shoreland Lutheran boys basketball team defeated Greendale Martin Luther 58-31 Friday in Metro Classic Conference action.
"We were a little sluggish early but then got our legs back and really played well throughout the first half," said Pacers coach Paul Strutz, whose team led 14-2 after the first quarter and 30-10 at halftime.
Unfortunately for the Shoreland Lutheran boys basketball team, the Pacers are getting an early season lesson on how to cope with crushing defeats.
Racine Prairie's Sam Hatem banked in a one-handed runner in the lane with 3 seconds left to lift the Hawks to a 37-35 Metro Classic Conference victory over the visiting Pacers on Friday night.
The St. Joseph boys basketball team used a barrage of third quarter 3-pointers in shooting past Shoreland 69-55 in a Metro Classic Conference game in Somers on Tuesday night.
The Lancers drained eight 3-pointers in the third to turn a one-point lead at the break into an insurmountable 14-point bulge by quarter's end.
The Shoreland boys basketball team survived a thriller in edging host Reuther, 55-53, in a non-conference game Thursday.
Reuther's Aavery Brice missed a potential game-winning 3-pointer from the wing with one second remaining as the Bulldogs nearly overcame a five-point deficit in the final 20 seconds.
It's hard to imagine a tougher end to a season than the Shoreland Lutheran boys basketball team suffered in 2011-12.
A senior-laden squad with WIAA Division-4 state aspirations saw a 16-point lead go by the boards in a 66-64 overtime loss to a Brookfield Academy team propelled by a stellar individual effort by Dominique Cross in regional final action in Somers.
Adam Freitag scored 19 points and Jacob Thren added 11 as Shoreland rallied past Hope in non-conference action in Somers. ... The Pacers (2-0) trailed the Eagles 35-30 before closing out the game on a 14-4 run, with Thren providing some huge plays down the stretch according to coach Paul Strutz. ... Freitag made four 3-pointers and was 3-of-5 from the foul line. ... Nick Zupinski had six steals and Jake Anderson had seven rebounds to lead the Pacers. ... "This was a totally different style than what we saw in Beloit (in Friday's 54-30 victory)," Strutz said. "We really had to work. Two very contrasting styles and it was good for the kids to see that."
KENOSHA — The St. Joseph boys basketball team rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to pull away from New Berlin West 57-46 in a non-conference season opener at St. Joseph on Friday night.
"New Berlin West is a very strong and well-coached team," St. Joseph coach Jose Winston said. "They are the type of team we will face every game in our conference. I am extremely proud of both the effort and energy my young men showed tonight."

Ruby slippers?
What she said doesn't deserve "conversation" or "debate."
And the repercussions begin:
TRUE!!! There should be no debate, what she said was spot on, no argument needed. Muslims now consider America conquered, their words not mine. It is obviously too late for people like Bachmann to expect the retarded public to understand truth. Her words should have been spoken a decade ago, now they are just falling on deaf, mute ears.
Tea Party chair wants McCain recalled because of his calling out the Bach-man. Once again why you can't take those wing nuts seriously.
Retarded yes. Would I still hit it? Yes
Both Republicans and Democrats have been caught in cycles of delusional thinking or we forget some of those wild and crazy theories populating liberal blogger sites during the Dubya presidency.
Bachmann is a zealot. She and her followers will bend reality so it fits their world view and justifies her existence.
Open Question?
How is the US a conquered country?
Unless we are talking about conquered by multinational corporations then I would agree.

Aqueous blackbody calibration source for millimeter-wave/terahertz metrology
Applied Optics, Vol. 47, Issue 30, pp. 5604-5615 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (3360 KB)
This paper describes a calibrated broadband emitter for the millimeter-wave through terahertz frequency regime, called the aqueous blackbody calibration source. Due to its extremely high absorption, liquid water is chosen as the emitter on the basis of reciprocity. The water is constrained to a specific shape (an optical trap geometry) in an expanded polystyrene (EPS) container and maintained at a selected, uniform temperature. Uncertainty in the selected radiometric temperature due to the undesirable reflectance present at a water interface is minimized by the trap geometry, ensuring that radiation incident on the entrance aperture encounters a pair of s and a pair of p reflections at

Linux server at home
Two ready-to-go Linux-based servers make it easy to set up your home network.
If you want to add a Linux-based server to your home network, you have two options: build a server yourself using a spare machine or buy a ready-to-use solution. Choosing the ready-made option will save you a lot of hassle, but it leads to the perennial question: What Linux-based home server should you buy? At least two home server solutions deserve a closer look: Bubba Two from a Swedish company called Excito and TonidoPlug from Texas-based CodeLathe. But how good are they and can they meet your needs?

Jonathan Rea hopes standing in for Casey Stoner leads to MotoGP future |
By Toby Moody and Matt Beer | Thursday, September 13th 2012, 21:06 GMT |
Jonathan Rea hopes standing in for Casey Stoner at Honda will open the door to a MotoGP future.
The Superbike World Championship race-winner is making his MotoGP debut at Misano this weekend and is set to remain with Honda until Stoner is fit to return following his recent ankle surgery.
Asked if he was waiting to see how he performed before deciding whether to aim for a longer-term MotoGP move, Rea said he already knew he wanted a future in the prototype class.
"For sure I want the possibility to come to MotoGP because I think it's every young guy's dream to be in this championship," he said. "My hero was Kevin Schwantz so to race in the GP class is an honour.
"My future's not in my hands right now. I have to wait and see.
"I'll take things race by race, try to do a good job here, and see what happens."
Rea has tested the Honda at Brno and Aragon, although he said the first test was of little use as he had hurried from his Superbike commitments in Russia.
"Brno wasn't really like a test - I was like a zombie. I'd had one and a half hours' sleep. There was so much to learn in half a day," he said.
"I got more comfortable with the machine at Aragon. I picked up quite a lot there and really enjoyed starting to feel the GP machine.
"It's a completely different machine and it takes time, but I'm really enjoying this learning experience.
"The gap between me and the bike now is quite a lot, but it's very motivating to get closer and closer."

[en] Grouped data ; Bivariate density estimation ; Bayesian P-splines | |
[en] Penalized B-splines combined with the composite link model are used to estimate a bivariate density from a histogram with wide bins. The goals are multiple: they include the visualization of the dependence between the two variates, but also the estimation of derived quantities like Kendall's tau, conditional moments and quantiles. Two strategies are proposed: the first one is semiparametric with flexible margins modeled using B-splines and a parametric copula for the dependence structure; the second one is nonparametric and is based on Kronecker products of the marginal B-spline bases. Frequentist and Bayesian estimations are described. A large simulation study quantifies the performances of the two methods under different dependence structures and for varying strengths of dependence, sample sizes and amounts of grouping. It suggests that Schwarz's BIC is a good tool for classifying the competing models. The density estimates are used to evaluate conditional quantiles in two applications in social and in medical sciences. | |

Fusions are now coming from all corners. The New Deal, a MMW for ravers, won over the jam scene with their house/techno tripping, and scored a deal with Jive Records. Canada's Kid Koala (whose "Drunken Trumpet" may be turntablism's greatest jazz moment) has thrown in his lot with the funk-rap-jam outfit Bullfrog. Roots groove ambassador Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson hosted last year's The Philadelphia Experiment (Ropeadope) with keyboardist Uri Caine and multi-tasking jazz bassist Christian McBride, who played with ?uest in a James Brown cover band in high school (The Detroit Experiment, with techno-jazz avatar Carl Craig, violinist Regina Carter, and others, is due this summer). There's the Windy City scene with Tortoise, the Chicago Underground Duo/Trio, and others. Herbie Hancock's touring behind last year's "Rockit"-redux Future 2 Future. Soulive's recent Next jams with both Dave Matthews and Talib Kweli. And Q-Tip's Kamaal the Abstract is some visionary jazz-jam shit that's confusing everyone by trying to pass as a hip-hop record, but which features some great playersincluding guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkle, whose new Verve LP is being produced by Tip.
Genre-bound critics on all sides have hated on these efforts. But flawed as they may be at points, young heads are having their worldviews expanded by them. This is how innovation happens, and it isn't always easy. Ask Jason Kibler, a/k/a DJ Logic, who has worked with MMW, Teo Macero, Don Byron, bluegrass patriarch Del McCoury, moe. (whose guitarist Al Schneider just released an IDM/ laptop-jam record, Al.one), Anti-Pop Consortium, and his own fuzoid Logic Project. As adept at ambient-swarm harmony as scratch pyrotechnics, he's got a mutant-beat project with low-lying guitar god Vernon Reid, dubbed the Yojimbe Brothers, due later this year. And strangest of all, he's currently playing with Bob Weir's Ratdoga band that only the most recidivist Deadheads have ever bothered with. They get points for looking forward, I guess, although at the Hammerstein Ballroom in March, the aging white dudes onstage barely acknowledged Logic, who was virtually inaudible in the mix. I hear he got some play late in the second set, but all I caught was some "wicky wicky" amid the saxman's Coltraning soprano on "Eyes of the World." If Logic had acetates of isolated Garcia tracks, it could've been a whole new game.
Despite endless letdowns, I keep listening, and hoping. Someday I want to download the previous night's Keith Jarrett Trio set on Jazzbands.com. I want DJ Shadow to remix the Sonny Sharrock catalog (unless Bill Laswell is already on it). I want Cannibal Ox to freestyle with David Ware. I want MMW to rock a sound system like Twilo's. And I want Sun Ra to return from Saturn with a Titanium G4. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

List of Piedmont blues musicians |
Piedmont blues (also known as East Coast, or Southeastern blues) refers primarily to a guitar style, the Piedmont fingerstyle, which is characterized by a fingerpicking approach in which a regular, alternating thumb bass string rhythmic pattern[1] supports a syncopated melody using the treble strings generally picked with the fore-finger, occasionally others.[2] The result is comparable in sound to ragtime or stride piano styles.[2]
Blues researcher Peter B. Lowry coined the term, giving co-credit to fellow folklorist Bruce Bastin.[3] The Piedmont style is differentiated from other styles, particularly the Mississippi Delta blues, by its ragtime-based rhythms.[1]
The basis of the Piedmont style began with the older "frailing" or "framming" guitar styles that may have been universal throughout the South, and was also based, at least to some extent, on formal "parlor guitar" techniques as well as earlier banjo playing, string band, and ragtime. What was particular to the Piedmont was that a generation of players adapted these older, ragtime-based techniques to blues in a singular and popular fashion, influenced by guitarists such as Blind Blake and Gary Davis.[4][5]
The Piedmont blues was named after the Piedmont plateau region, on the East Coast of the United States from about Richmond, Virginia to Atlanta, Georgia. Piedmont blues musicians come from this area, as well as Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and northern Florida, western South Carolina, central North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama – later the Northeastern cities such as Boston, Newark, New Jersey, and New York.[2][6]
Recording artists such as Blind Blake, Josh White, Buddy Moss, and Blind Boy Fuller helped spread the style on the strength of their sales throughout the region.[2] It was nationally popular with the African-American audience for about twenty years from the mid-1920s through to the mid-1940s. Blind Boy Fuller's 1940 recording of "Step It Up and Go" sold over half a million copies.
Post-World War II[edit]
As a form of Black American popular music, Piedmont blues fell out of favor on a national basis after World War II. By the late-1950s, it was being performed at US folk music revivals and festivals initially by established Piedmont blues artists such as Josh White, Rev. Gary Davis, and Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry, as well as Cephas & Wiggins, John Jackson in later years.[2][7]
While musicologists such as George Mitchell, Axel Küstner, Kip Lornell, Peter B. Lowry and Tim Duffy collected recordings by the aging community of Piedmont blues players, younger musicians such as Stefan Grossman, Roy Book Binder, Jorma Kaukonen, Paul Geremia, Keb Mo', Michael Roach, Samuel James, Eric Bibb, Ry Cooder, David Bromberg, Ernest Troost, and Guy Davis have carried on the Piedmont tradition, often having "studied" under some of the old Piedmont masters.[2] The Piedmont style of guitar playing has also influenced other popular musicians such as Doc Watson, Paul Simon, Nick Drake, Ralph McTell, and Mark Knopfler.[citation needed]

Sunroof leak on my Saturn Outlook
sgolden Posts: 1Hello,
We have an 08 Outlook, currently in the shop, that the roof drains are clogged. Funny thing is the shop manager told my wife that it says in the owners manual to clean the drains. When I asked him, he said it's in there vaguely and of course couldn't say, but he ultimately said "you must maintain your vehicle." We love the Outlook, but unfortunately, the sunroof has issues. The America people did the so called "right thing" when GM was bailed out, GM should step up and fix this problem. If anyone hasn't filed a complaint on the NHTSA site, please do so now! The more complaints the better. Also, write letters to GM and voice your issues on every social media outlet. If you have news stations that will do investigative stories, see if they will bit on this. I wish everyone the best of luck with their Saturn.0 · -
njrazd Posts: 2Yep, I fixed the leaking sunroof problem on my 2008 Outlook. I traded that sucker in for a 2013 Kia Sportage. Now I have a vehicle with a sunroof that will not leak....and if it does, I purchased the 10 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper package that will take care of anything. I will never purchase another GM vehicle EVER. So I gave up some space (kid is gone now anyway) and will be getting much better gas mileage and easier to park! Win/Win for me!0 ·
david332 Posts: 1Good decision. I traded my leaky 08 for 09 that didn't leak but at 60000 miles had transmission problems. GM tried fixing leak 11 times and never got it done. There answer for transmission was essentially "lived with it, this is due to transmission controller and cannot be fixed". So I traded it for Lexus. Done with GM0 ·
simone_89 Posts: 5I think that's what many are doing. We traded ours in for a Ford Explorer and I couldn't be happier. We have sworn off GM entirely. How they've handled this whole issue is deplorable. I thought there was hope when I actually had a GM rep respond to my post. That was a joke. It's just so they can see they responded. It's a KNOWN issue to them and yet they aren't willing to do the right thing and recall the car to fix it. I mean why should they? They killed the brand. Now I get why Roger Penske pulled his bid to buy Saturn... Good call, Roger!0 ·
chelseaw Posts: 1I own a 2008 Saturn Outlook with 64000 miles. We too are having leaks in the sunroof and most recently the service air bag light has come on. Water leaks in through the lights and more recently through air bag covers. I have an appt. on Monday to have it looked at, but after reading all the posts I wonder if it's a waste of money?? Already had transmission issues at 36,000 miles (luckily covered under warranty). I loved this vehicle so much we bought it but am now so fearful about future problems. Love the layout, perfect for our season of life with carpools. I hope GM does the right thing...guess I shouldn't hold my breath:(0 ·
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,203Hello chelseaw,
I apologize that you have experienced this with your Outlook. I would be happy to look into your situation further. If this is something you would like my assistance with please email me, attn: Jonathan A. at email@example.com. If you would also reference your username, and include your full contact information, VIN, current mileage, and involved dealership. I look forward to hearing back from you.

4vinsons Posts: 1I just left the dealership that I bought my 08 from in '11. Initially I LOVED it but since it started leaking last year and now flooding with the EXACT issues I'm done. They have my Saturn there with two flooded front floor boards, water coming out of the airbag ports, water sloshing over my head when I move the vehicle, water pouring out of the visor arms attached to the headliner and water pouring out from under the dash to the point it's soaking my feet when I drive. Looked back yesterday and saw water dripping on my 3 yr old son from the interior lights. I told them to fix it so I could get it cleaned up and traded off. I'm DONE.
I'm leaning towards a '12 Ford Explorer XLT.0 · -
gmcustsvc Posts: 4,203Hello 4vinsons,
I'm very sorry to hear that this experience has led you to consider trading off your vehicle. I apologize that the leaking sunroof hasn't been fixed on your Saturn and recognize your dissatisfaction with this situation. If there is anything we can do to help with this matter, please email us your name, VIN, mileage, contact information and the name of the dealership you've been working with. We can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com [attn Amber]. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

postonno Posts: 12I've been posting and watching the activity since 2009, the year after I purchased a new Outlook, which has been in the shop 8 times. I see a lot of complaints, and much lip-service from GM, which in my mind, amounts to stonewalling. It appears to me that the dealers can only make temporary repairs, and eventually the leaks return.

can anyone tell me if they got any good outcomes with GM repairing the sunroof leak hose? i have had the same problem since last year. the last time i took mine into the dealership they said they could not find a problem so nothing was done. we just had a bad storm this past weekend and my airbags on side panel were leaking and my front passenger carpet was soaked. ive been told by the dealership that the hoses for dranege could not handle that much water so it overfloaded into the car. and the hose is too short. this should be put on recall.. now they want to charge me $450 to replace hoses.

My mom has a 2007 Saturn outlook that has the clogging problem. she took it to the dealership (same one she purchased it from) and they want to charge her $4000 to fix it. The recall part was apparently fixed. I am so worried about her driving it because of the electrical system and the water. Plus the car restarted itself after she turned it off and took the key out. I am a loyal chevy customer- was getting ready to buy a new cruze later this year but now am disheartened.

Does anyone got an answer from GM about this leaking issue with Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia? I sent an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com but so far I haven't received a response. In my case, I have water leaking on the airbag sign of the airbag in the column at the sides of the windshield. As the water may affect the performance of the Airbag it may be ineffective on an accident and may jeopardize the lives of the front passengers thus I believe it is time for GM to take serious action and propose a recall before they have to pay another $35Million fine to the NHTSA....Amber, I'm at your disposal for discussing it. Just let me know where I can contact you.

wagner3304 Posts: 1My 2008 Outlook just went crazy last week with the radio not turning off and draining the battery, then yesterday it kept running with the key out of the ignition! So we found all of these posts with EVERYONE who owns these vehicles having the SAME problem. It just so happens the airbag light came on this week too AND we get the recall notice that this is covered under a RECALL due to CORROSION!!!! Coincidence??? I don't think so!!! The dealership wants to charge us $1500 to fix this problem and also acted like we should have maintained these drainage tubes?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? So if the airbags are compromised by the leaking, but you don't fix and cover the leaking problem in the first place. These problems should all be covered under the recall... I am on my way to contacting the BBB and the news and our state government to address this WELL known safety issue that GM has been aware if for years! I am tired of these companies trying to pass off poor design issues on the consumer and only own up to it when FORCED to by congress!! Reply to THAT, GM customer service rep!!0 ·
pissed63 Posts: 2I too have a 2007 Outlook purchased new in April 07' for $41,000 +.... In August of 08' I noticed the floor carpet wet on the passengers side, took it to Saturn they disconnected drain lines reassembled tested and verified repair. In Oct. 08' Saturn installed drain tube extensions. My Outlook has always been garaged so I have not noticed any leaks until Oct. 2014 as I was parking outside due to moving and my garage was full of stuff. I lived in Florida, we had torrential down pours and I noticed a water stain on the headliner just above the passengers side hand grip. took it to GM they fixed in a minute. Said the drain line was clogged. Sell my house move to Maine, have beautiful weather for weeks then it rains for a week straight. Notice more wet spots now on the drivers side headliner and floor carpet. Take to GM dealer they to tell me the drain line is clogged. I debate the issue, paid another $125.00 to repair. You all know where I'm going with this. It rains, back to GM they now say the sunroof seal needs to be replaced, makes sense, so another $245.00 and for 2 days it was dry... The rain came down hard and now the leak is worse than ever. Take it back to GM they tell me they need to replace the inner track (?) system to the tune of $2,400.00. I asked them if they would give me credit back form the wasted $$ I already spent.. NOPE!!! So, I called GM customer service today have a case# and will be speaking to a Senior Advisor by Tuesday.
I can't believe all the claims and GM has not made this a recall issue. I to have always both GM, I have loved my Saturn all these years and had intentions of keeping this vehicle forever, BUT I think the end is near. Hoping GM will stand by this major flaw.
Is there a lawyer in this Forum who wants a class action suit?0 · -
pissed63 Posts: 2Spoke to a Senior Advisor last night an again this morning. So far all I've gotten from GM is lip service.. Keep repeating that my Outlook is not under warranty any longer.. I keep repeating that this is not a warranty issue - it's a GM defect which should have a recall. I am a waiting for a call from the Senior Advisors Boss on Friday. If she gives me lip service I will speak with her boss. Everyone has a boss. I have just begun my quest to make GM do what's right.0 ·
webdsn Posts: 1When you have been a life long GM guy and then something like this happens you lose faith in the brand. My first vehicle when I was 16 was a 1955 Chevy PU (still have it). Since then I have had a 1963 Corvair, 1972 Impala, 1978 Grand Prix, 1980 Silverado new, 2002 Trailblazer new, 2004 Silverado new, 2007 Tahoe LTZ new, 2007 Corvette Z06 new, 2008 Outlook new. Not to mention a 2005 3500 commercial box truck new, and a 2014 Freightliner Chassis w/ a 6 liter GM motor and Allison transmission in a FedEx step van new. Also not to mention the dozens of freinds and family that I have sent to Henna Chevrolet, Covert Cadillac, etc.
So I ended up giving the 2008 Outlook to my parents. First it was the transmission with the defective wave link?. The dealer tried to screw my elderly parents into a new transmission until I got involved. I did my research and found out about the defective wave link?.
Now the leak! If something happens whether it be electrical or mechanical from the roof leak, before I can get to them and intervene, all hell will break loose. Especially now that GM has such a [non-permissible content removed] record for admitting defects and doing something about it (ie the ignition switch debacle). Very disapointed from what I'm reading on this topic.0 ·

Winemaker's Notes:
Cruz Andina is a Malbec based blend that represents the unique character of high altitude and old vines from Mendoza. The wine expresses Malbec's exceptional concentration with a soft, supple texture. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Bonarda are blended for complexity, structure and delicate mouthfeel. The old-vine fruit, Alvaro Espinoza's minimalist approach to winemaking and sensibility for elegant wines were the perfect fit for the style of Malbec we desired to produce.
My Notes:
About Cruz Andina:
Legendary vintner Agustin Huneeus has partnered with Carlos Pulenta, a third generation vintner of Mendoza's Pulenta family, and winemaker Alvaro Espinoza to produce Cruz Andina Malbec, his first properietary wine fom Argentina. The partnership combines Agustin Huneeus' long quest to produce unique wines from special places, along with Carlos' vast knowledge of malbec and his inside vision of Mendoza appellations. Alvaro collaborates with Cruz Andina in every aspect of the wine, from site selection and canopy management in the vineyard to determining the final blend.

Notes & Reviews:
Pulitzer and GRAMMY® Award winner Jennifer Higdon is one of the most performed living American composers, and this program provides a unique opportunity to hear première recordings of her earlier chamber music. The String Trio was written while Higdon was a developing young composer, and the influences of Prokofiev and Copland can be heard in the Sonata for Viola and Piano. The beauty and immensity of the Western US sky was the inspiration for Sky Quartet, while Dark Wood explores the soulful and virtuoso character of the bassoon. Higdon's "vibrant and individual voice" (Limelight Magazine) can be heard in further chamber works on Naxos 8.559298.
Notes & Reviews:Recording information: Gore Recital Hall, University of Delaware, Newark, Dela (2011-08-??&2011-12-??&2012-).
Submitted on 08/19/13 by Dan Coombs
Amazing Grace (written when Higdon was 24) breaks this overly-familiar hymn into small bits and rearranges them in a kaleidoscopic fashion. Great fun, and a great way to open the program.
Her String Trio (another student work), is a well-structured work, although a trifle unfocussed. The style of the work doesn't sound completely gelled. The trio sometimes leans towards the academic, before settling into Higdon's characteristic quasi-modal style towards the end.
Bassoonist Eric Stomberg admirably performs Dark Wood, a fast-moving work for bassoon and piano trio. This engaging work full of energy that casts the bassoon not as a clown, or as a mournful crooner, but as an agile and aggressive solo instrument.
Higdon's Sonata for Viola and Piano lets the viola sing in the first movement, and contrapuntally interact with the piano in the second, trading ideas back and forth. The Sky Quartet evokes the grandeur of the Western sky (which inspired its composition). Elegiac and expansive, the quartet is definitely a work of a composer in command of her material.

Leon Cullens' Blog
The .NET CLR can give your web application a significant performance boost compared to other platforms such as PHP due to it's compiled nature. Not only does your .NET code perform better because it's more low-level, it also comes with good support for parallel programming. This guide will not explain the basics of a responsive and fast web application by talking about CSS minifying, sprites, content delivery networks, etc. Instead this guide will be an essential guide for making sure you don't miss any features that can enhance the performance of your ASP.NET MVC3 application.
Perhaps the most useful feature of MVC3 (performance-wise) is output caching. The biggest performance hits actually occur when your application really has to fetch data, do calculations on it and return the data. Output caching can cache these results so they can be returned directly without even touching the database. Especially when executing complex queries this can drop the load on your server significantly (in fact you could drop the load on your server by a whooping 90% by carefully inplementing caching in your web application).
Output caching is quite simple actually; all you have to do is to add an attribute to the methods that you want to cache, set the amount of seconds to store the result of that method and optionally set the location of the cache (client, server, combination, downstream, etc.). Below is an extremely simplified example to show you how it works:
public class FooController : Controller { [OutputCache(Duration = 30, Location = OutputCacheLocation.ServerAndClient)] public ActionResult Foo() { // Fetch some data return View(); } [OutputCache(Duration = 30)] public ActionResult Bar() { // Do some calculations, return some data return View(); } }
MVC3 controllers come with session support by default. This means that controllers are able to store data values across requests. The process of creating and maintaining session state however consumes server memory and/or storage. Also it will waste extra CPU cycles that, probably, can be put to better use for most applications. As an added benefit it will be easier to run your web application across multiple server if you disable session state.
Again, disabling session state is quite easy, all you have to do is to mark your controller with the SessionState attribute as follows:
[SessionState(SessionStateBehavior.Disabled)] public class FooController : Controller { public ActionResult Foo() { // Fetch some data return View(); } }
If your application is I/O or network limited, it's a good option to consider implementing AsyncControllers, meaning that your controllers will be able to process multiple actions at the same time. One of the things you could do is to call a web service or fetch some data from the database. When you put this operation onto a separate work queue, the worker thread can immediately return to the worker pool and service other requests, making sure your application stays responsive. A good and easy way to implement asynchronous actions is by using the Task Parallel Library (TPL). In the example below I will give a brief explanation of this.
public class FooController : AsyncController { public void FooAsync() { AsyncManager.OutstandingOperations.Increment(2); Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { // Perform some expensive operation AsyncManager.Parameters["data"] = data; AsyncManager.OutstandingOperations.Decrement(); }); Task.Factory.StartNew(() => { // Perform another expensive operation AsyncManager.Parameters["moredata"] = data; AsyncManager.OutstandingOperations.Decrement(); }); } public ActionResult FooCompleted(string data, string moredata) { Foo foo = new Foo { Bar = data, Baz = moredata }; return View(foo); } }
As you can see I've splitted the action method into two separate methods (an async method that performs the operation(s) and a completed method that returns the data). It is important to name these methods as I did; start with the name of the action method, ending with 'Async' or 'Completed'.
In the Async method we start 2 new 'outstanding operations', and then we create 2 news tasks that do some processing, store the results of the operations by sending parameters to the AsyncManager and finally decreasing the amount of outstanding operations (marking the operation as finished). The parameters that we've sent to the AsyncManager will be automatically mapped to the parameters of the Completed method by looking at the names of the parameters. Finally the Completed method can return this data to the view that called the action method.
A very easy way to decrease the amount of hits on your web server is by implementing client side validation. Without client side validation, every time a user posts a form, the web server will receive a request, no matter if the request is valid or not. When using client side validation, the web server only receives a request when a form is filled in correctly, saving quite a few requests when working with enterprise applications that heavily rely on forms. Client side validation can't be any easier when working with MVC3, because all you have to do is to create a model that is annotated with some validation attributes and to include the JQuery validation library into your web application. The following example will demonstrate a basic example of this:
public class ChangePasswordModel { [Required] [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "Current password")] public string OldPassword { get; set; } [Required] [StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "The {0} must be at least {2} characters long.", MinimumLength = 6)] [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "New password")] public string NewPassword { get; set; } [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "Confirm new password")] [Compare("NewPassword", ErrorMessage = "The new password and confirmation password do not match.")] public string ConfirmPassword { get; set; } }
The model is annotated with Required attribute and a couple of other attributes that specify the rules that have to be met before the data can be submitted. Finally we just include the JQuery validation library in our _Layout.cshtml file:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>@ViewBag.Title</title> <link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script> </head> <body>
Another interesting thing to keep in mind is that you can disable any other view engines. This means that the list of locations that will be scanned for your view will be shorter, resulting in better performance. You can disable any another view engines and re-register Razor by putting the following code in the Application_Start() method of your Global.asax file:
ViewEngines.Engines.Clear(); ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new RazorViewEngine());
What this does: it obviously clears any existing view engines, and registers the Razor view engine, resulting in a 'cleaner' lookup directory list. (Thanks to Charandeep Singh for mentioning it)
When deploying your web application, make sure you disable debug mode in your Web.Config as follows:
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0">
Or you can override this setting in IIS Manager .NET Compilation Tool when using IIS 7.x or higher.
The steps above are the essential steps to get most out of your ASP.NET MVC3 web application. Output caching will definately deliver the biggest performance gain, with operation parallelization being another good candidate for improving the performance significantly. One thing you should always keep in mind is that you should always deploy your application in release mode, so it's best to write a deploy script to do this automatically for you, or by overriding this in your IIS Manager.

Thanks for a great article! I haven't spent much time with the new async controllers, but I as an async noob I have to ask you; the place where you want me to do "the expensive work" I would normally call some expensive method that returns some values, right? Should this be a normal C# method or should the method also be "async optimized" in some way? Thanks in advance
Hi Jonas, Usually your 'task' will call some method. It doesn't really matter what kind of operation this is; it can be a call to some web service, a query against the database, some expensive calculation. It's important that all these tasks can be processed in parallel, so they shouldn't have to rely on each other to be completed. Correct me if I'm wrong here, I didn't dive too deep into parallel programming yet, but afaik this is how it works Let me know if this answers your question.
Hi Leon, Thanks for your answer. Yes it did answer my question - kind of As I understand you, my expensive method should never call another expensive method. But I can't help asking why not? Or did you mean that my first expensive method (first increase of OutstandingOperations), should not rely on my second expensive method (second increase of OutstandingOperations). I see how that makes perfectly sense.
Hi Jonas, Your second interpretation is correct. Of course one expensive method can call another expensive method, but every task should be able to be performed asynchronously. For example: inserting a new customer and retrieving the last inserted ID (the customer's ID) can't be done asynchronous, they have to be processed after each other. Hope that helps, you can read more about Asynchronous controllers at msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee728598.aspx
Alright, I understand. Yes, it was actually that MSDN article that made me ask the question. If you notice in the example, they call a function called "newsService.GetHeadlinesAsync(city);". Enough about that - thanks for your time!
Good stuff! Thanks! Another thing I would like to consider here is View Lookup Performance blogs.msdn.com/.../...view-lookup-performance.aspx We can set only ViewEngine that we will be using. If we use only Razor, we do following: ViewEngines.Engines.Clear(); ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new RazorViewEngine()); So this saves from looking up for views of ASPX view engine (View.aspx View.asax)
Thanks for the addition. As far as I know this only has a benefit when you have multiple view engines right?
No, its actually opposite. As you may know, there are several ViewEngines that we can use with ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET MVC 3 by default registers two ViewEngines ASPX & Razor. But mostly developers are using Razor now. So, having two ViewEngines registered by default. The View Lookup goes like this: ~/Views/Home/Index.aspx ~/Views/Home/Index.ascx ~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx ~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx ~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml ~/Views/Home/Index.vbhtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.vbhtml Now that we know we only going to use Razor for Views. We can eliminate ASPX views lookup by unregistered it from the ViewEngines list. So having only RazorViewEngine registered, MVC will only look for Razor views. So, lookups will be eliminated to: ~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml ~/Views/Home/Index.vbhtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.vbhtml
Great info, thanks for sharing

Picture or sound?
I mean picture. For me, both K601 and K702 look better than this limited version. With similar colors, K601 looks best to me.
I assume the sound is identical to K702.
I have the Q701's currently, and I am thinking of selling them for these strictly based on the headband as I can not use my Q701's without having one of these
cut in half between it and my head so I do not get bumps. I just picked up the K550's as well for $249.99 not the store I bought them at but the store I price matched them from (Canada) has the AKG K702 Anniversary Edition for $748
Not willing to pay that much though that would be insane maybe ~$350 max, I mean I paid the Q701's $240.
I hear a lot about the bumps, but they don't bug me at all. If you like the sound (the Q's are very capable especially with some bass boost), I wonder a couple whacks with a meat tenderizer will soften them up?
Dang - $748 for the K702 !!! Nice find, but I'll pass :)
I asked local Harman to give me 40% discount, but they didnt replay, just wonder why, any idea guys?
Brain fart.
K702 and K702 65th Anniversary Edition differences
You should look at this site once in a while. Today there is no K702 65th Anniversary Edition servicemanual available. I reckon it coming soon and you could compair them.
Capsule DKK 45 part number
K702 65th Anniversary Edition ???
you could compair the damping material and ear pads (cushion) too.
Thanks for the link.
I see you own Q701 and K701, is it because their differences are present enough to keep them both?
After a burning in period, the differences between Q701, K702 (this I had for a test period too), K701 are very small and (only) with some special music samples hearable.
Q701, K702 use special selected drivers (capsules).
In the year 2010 I had the chance to visit the AKG production in Vienna. It was very interesting to see how an electrostatic microphone or a headphone arises.
For about a time of three month, I had the K1000 as guest (loaned), unfortunately I must give them back.
Would you be so kind to tell us about the special music a little more please. What kind and what are the differences?
You could read about my impressions and my heared music here
I made my last intensive compairing some month ago. It's very hard to catch the differences between both.
Now I get a lot of new music and I think I should made this compairing again.

The biggest difference for me between the K 702 and Q 701 is not having some guy named "QUINCY" scrawl his name all over my beautiful AKG headphones..
Tell AKg to make a Laura Branigan signature model. I will buy that.
I know who QUINCY is but who the heck is Laura Branigan?
