The use of urethane polymers has been proposed for golf ball cover compositions. One patent teaches initially forming two urethane shell blanks from which cover halves are made (U.S. Pat. No. 3,989,568). Another patent suggests forming a smooth cover and thereafter impressing dimples in the smooth cover (U.S. Pat. No. 5,006,297). Still another patent describes a sequence of filling first half of a mold with urethane, inserting a ball center therein and later adding more urethane to a second half and uniting the second with the first half (U.S. Pat. No. 3,147,324).
Broadly, the present invention is a method and apparatus for making a golf ball comprising treating a core as described herein, placing a polyurethane cover of selected composition thereon in which the treated core is positioned in a mold using a controlled alignment device for centering the core during cover formation.

Turning to the Figures, and in particular to FIGS. 1 and 2, dipping apparatus 10 includes a dip tank 12 filled to level 12 a and agitated by electric mixer 12 m. Apparatus 10 also includes oval conveying rack 13 with ball core carriers 16. Dip tank 12 is filled with latex bath 12 b to level 12 a and, if latex has been in tank 12 for a substantial length of time, initial mixing of bath 12 b in tank 12 should be carried out until uniformity of bath 12 b is reached. After such mixing golf ball cores 14 are loaded at loading station 15 into holding carriers 16 each comprising a stem 16 a and a holder ring 16 b. During normal operation tank 12 is agitated by electric mixer 12 m. Loaded carriers 16 are carried by conveying rack 13 along and down to dip cores 14 for 1 to 60 seconds into latex bath 12 b. Rack 13 moves through a descending portion 20, dipping portion 22 and ascending portion 24 of the carrier circuit to accomplish the latex dip core treatment. In wound cores the latex encapsulates the core with penetrate to a depth of about 0.050 inch and in solid cores the latex forms an encapsulating coating on the core of 0.001-0.010 inch thick.
After the ball cores 14 exit dip tank 12, they pass into a curing chamber 25 in which heat, ultraviolet rays, or other means for accelerating cure may be applied. It will be understood that some latex bath materials cure sufficiently under ambient conditions that curing chamber 25 is not required. Cores are unloaded at unload station 21.
In accordance with this invention, wound cores 14 preferably are latex dipped while dipping of solid cores 14 is optional. Depending on the nature of the latex material applied, the golf ball dip-treated cores 14 can then be stored for a period of time for additional cure, or, if the latex material is sufficiently cured at this point, the wound cores with the latex dip encapsulate can be transported directly to the molding area for molding of the cover material.
Since the latex material generates low levels of ammonia fumes in the dip tank 12, it is preferred to have a vacuum hood 23 positioned above the dip tank 12. The vacuum hood 23 is preferably provided with means (not shown) for generating a clean air curtain about the periphery of the dip tank 12 to prevent escape of undesirable gasses. The curing chamber 25 can also be provided with suitable gas removal means.
As described above, the initial step of the process of the present invention is the dipping of the core in a latex bath. The preferred core is a wound core but any core, molded or wound, may be treated by the present process. With a molded core the advantage of such latex dip treatment is the increased velocity attainable to golf balls made with such cores. With a wound core the advantages are increased velocity, reduction of flow of air into the cover material during cover formation and prevention of rubber strand unravelling.
It is important that a thermosetting, not a thermoplastic, latex be employed so that the arrangement of the cover material to the core encapsulated will not soften the encapsulating envelope and permit air to pass through it into the interstices in the windings of the wound core or allow the rubber strands to unravel.
The thermosetting latex materials which are useful in the present invention are any materials which will withstand the temperatures at which the cover material is to be applied. This temperature will, of course, depend upon the particular fluidization temperature of the selected cover material. Typical thermosetting latex materials which can be used are: low ammonia, natural latex or pre-vulcanized natural latex with or without penetrant. When using a polyurethane cover material, it has been found that pre-vulcanized natural latex is particularly suitable.
The preferred latex material, Heveatex brand Model H1704 pre-vulcanized natural latex, is a partially pre-vulcanized material which has a 60%-30% water dilution solids content. The preferred penetrant material is Niaproof #4 (tetra decyl sulfate) sold by Niacet Corp. It is understood that non-latex encapsulating materials may also be used.
After latex coating, the cover is formed around the coated core by mixing and introducing the material in mold halves. Once mixed, an exothermic reaction commences and continues. It is important that the viscosity be measured over time, so that the subsequent steps of filling each mold half, introducing the core into one half and closing the mold can be properly timed for accomplishing centering of the core cover halves fusion and achieving overall uniformity.
The increase in the viscosity of the urethane mix over time is measured by Vibrating Needle Curemeter (VNC) manufactured by Rapra Technology Limited. It is achieved by suspending a steel needle in the curing formulation. The needle is vibrated vertically by a small electrodynamic vibrator driven by a signal generator. Resistance to its movement is ultimately recorded as the voltage output. Suitable viscosity range of the curing urethane mix for introducing cores 14 into the mold halves 51, 59 is determined to be approximately between 2,000 cps-30,000 cps or between 60 mv-98 mv voltage output with the preferred range of 8,000 to 15,000 cps (see FIG. 8). The time (gel time) at which the desired viscosity range occurs for mold mating is measured from first introduction of mix into the top half mold 51 a.
The dip coating of latex penetrates the interstices, crevices and openings between the wound core threads to a depth of a fraction of an inch preferable about 0.050 inches and, as solidified, prevents a substantial quantity of air from flowing from the interior of the core into the cover during its formation. A negligible amount of the latex remains on the outside of the wound core. With solid cores about 0.001-0.010 inch is coated on the surface thus reducing the cover thickness by that amount. Small amounts of air passing through or around the latex coating are not large enough to create noticeable imperfections in the cover as determined by visual inspection.
Turning to FIGS. 3 and 3a, another step of the process is the formation of the cover on the wound core 12. To accomplish this step a centering fixture is used. Fixture unit 30 includes box frame 32, stationary central guide mount 34 comprising fixed cylinder 35 and stationary guide block 37. Guide block 37 has two (2) parallel passageways 37 a, 37 b therethrough for receiving movable rods 41, 42 in sliding vertical movement. Rods 41, 42 are fixed to slide ball cup frame unit 44, through back piece 40, which unit 44 carries ball cup 46 mounted on cup plate 44 b as described (see FIG. 3a). Ball cup 46 holds ball core 14 through reduced pressure (or partial vacuum) in hose 46 a. Ball cup frame unit 44 includes base plate 44 b, central opening 44 a and upstanding back plate 44 c. Back support 40 is secured to back plate 44 c. Ball cup 46 is adjustably secured to cup plate 44 b through adjustable fasteners 49 a, b which ride in slots 44 s and 44 t (FIG. 4). Cup 46 can be adjusted vis-a-vis plate 44 b front and back along arrow A (FIG. 4).
To initially align ball core cup 46 in the proper position for molding of cover material, a machined metal set-up mold 50 is used. Set-up mold 50 is positioned by lowering unit 44 to permit pins 72, 73 to pass through alignment holes 71 a, 71 b in mold 50. Rails 53 and 56 serve only to assist in placing the mold 50 under unit 44 and after mold 50 is properly aligned it is spaced a few thousandths of an inch from each rail 53, 56 (FIG. 7). With ball cup 46 free through loosened fasteners 49 a, b, alignment of cup 46 is accomplished by lowering ball cup 46 until it sits on and contacts set-up core 70. Fasteners 49 a, b are tightened when flush contact with ball cup 46 and set-up core 70 has been made. Next, mechanical stop 39 b is tightened in this position. Frame unit 44 is then raised from set-up mold 50 and set-up mold 50 is removed from fixture 30.
More than one fixture unit 30 is used in the practice of this invention. With fixture unit 30 so aligned, the set-up mold 50 is removed and is ready to be replaced with a ball core 14 and a series of regular mold halves 51 b, 51 c, etc.
The core is centered by fixture unit 30 in the top mold half, as then inverted, to a tolerance of about 0.010 of an inch. Such tolerance is described by determining the theoretical center of the core in the mold half and tolerating the actual core center, as fixtured, to be located up to 0.005 of an inch in any direction for the theoretical center. Since the actual center is tolerated to move 0.005 inch in any direction from the theoretical center, it can move over a range of 0.010 of an inch.
Turning to FIGS. 13-15, prime numbered elements correspond to elements on FIGS. 3-5. This alternative embodiment aligns each mold half 51, 59 with respect to the fixture frame base 30 b of frame 30′ using a horizontal rail alignment unit 66 which includes stationary mount block 66 m, positioned on fixture base 30 b, a raised horizontal cross piece 66 c which carries two (2) parallel alignment rails 66 a, 66 b having square cross sections which rails 66 a, 66 b lie in mold end-to-end indentations 67, 68. Each mold indentation 67 and 68 includes a horizontal wall 67 a, 68 a and a vertical wall 67 b, 68 b. Rails 66 a, 66 b have tapered tips 66 d, 66 e to assist in guiding and positioning mold halves 51′, as each is slid in direction D to the position of FIG. 15. As a mold half 51′ is moved back against block 66 m it is aligned and the mold half 51′ is thereafter accurately positioned as pins 72′ and 73′ engage and move, as necessary, the mold half 51′ during fixture descent. The spacings between block 66 m and rails 66 a, 66 b and mold 51 are exaggerated in FIG. 15. These tolerances are small enough to achieve the centering tolerances set out below.
Vertical position of core 14 in ball cup 46′ is accomplished using machined collars 84, 85 which slip over pins 72′, 73′ as shown. Set screws 82 are used to hold collars 84, 85. The length of collars 84, 85 determines the distance between cup plate 44 b and mold halves 51′, 59′ and thereafter the position of core 14 (not shown) in cup 46′. Cup 46′ is not adjustable in this embodiment but is held in fixed relationship to plate 44 b′ with fasteners 83 a-c.
As in the other fixture embodiment, core 14 can, using this embodiment, be located up to 0.005 of an inch in any direction from the theoretical center.
Prior to proceeding with cover formation regular mold halves 51 b, 51 c are preheated to 140-180.degree. F., the prepolymer is preheated and degassed at 140-160.degree. F. and the curative is also preheated and degassed at a temperature of 140-160.degree. F. As so preheated, the prepolymer and curative both have approximately viscosities of 2000 cps.
The cover material used in the present method is polyurethane which is the product of a reaction between a polyurethane prepolymer and a curing agent. The polyurethane prepolymer is a product formed by a reaction between a polyol and a diisocyanate. The curing agent is either a polyamine or glycol. A catalyst may be employed to promote the reaction between the curing agent and the polyurethane prepolymer.
Suitable polyurethane prepolymers for use in the present invention are made from a polyol, such as polyether, polyester or polylactone, and a diisocyanate. Suitable diisocyanates for use in the present invention include 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and 3,3′-dimethyl-4,4′-biphenylene diisocyanate (TODI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI).
Suitable polyether polyols include polytetramethylene ether glycol; poly(oxypropylene) glycol; and polybutadiene glycol. Suitable polyester polyols include polyethylene adipate glycol; polyethylene propylene adipate glycol; and polybutylene adipate glycol. Suitable polylactone polyols include diethylene glycol initiated caprolactone; 1,4-butanediol initiated caprolactone; trimethylol propane initiated caprolactone; and neopentyl glycol initiated caprolactone. The preferred polyols are polytetramethylene ether glycol; polyethylene adipate glycol; polybutylene adipate glycol; and diethylene glycol initiated caprolactone.
Suitable curatives for use in the present invention are selected from the slow-reacting polyamine group consisting of 3,5-dimethylthio-2,4-toluenediamine; 3,5-dimethylthio-2,6-toluenediamine; N,N′-dialkyldiamino diphenyl methane; trimethylene-glycol-di-p-aminobenzoate; polytetramethyleneoxide-di-p-aminobenzoate; or a difunctional glycol; and mixtures thereof. 3,5-dimethylthio-2,4-toluenediamine and 3,5-dimethylthio-2,6-toluenediamine are isomers and are sold under the trade name ETHACURE.RTM. 300 by Ethyl Corporation. Trimethylene glycol-di-p-aminobenzoate is sold under the trade name POLACURE 740M and polytetramethyleneoxide-di-p-aminobenzoates are sold under the trade name Polamine by Polaroid Corporation. N,N′-dialkyldiamino diphenyl methane is sold under the trade name UNILINK.RTM. by UOP.
Suitable difunctional glycols are 1,4-butanediol; 1,3-butanediol; 2,3-butanediol; 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butanediol; dipropylene glycol; and ethylene glycol. Difunctional glycols are inherently slow-reacting.
To start the cover formation, mixing of the prepolymer and curative is accomplished in motorized mixer 60 (FIG. 6) including mixing head 61 by feeding through lines 63 and 64 metered amounts of curative and prepolymer. The mixer 60 is cooled by cooling jacket 66. Due to the exothermic reaction of prepolymer and curative as mixed, the mixing head temperature will tend to rise. To control such a rise, the mixing head temperature is maintained by cooling in a range appropriate for the specific urethane material and to attain a workable gel time. From the time mixing commences until the reacting material is fed into each top mold 51 a, b, c, etc. or bottom mold half 59 a, b, c etc. is about 4-7 seconds. Top preheated mold halves 51 a, b, c etc. are filled and placed in fixture unit 30 using pins 72, 73 moving into holes 71 a, 71 b in each mold 51 a, b, c etc. After the reacting materials have resided in top mold halves 51 a, b, c, etc. for about 50-80 seconds, a core 14 is lowered at a controlled speed into the gelling reacting mixture by lowering frame unit 44 using an pneumatic powered arrangement not shown. Alternatively, electric or hydraulic systems may be used. Controlled lowering is accomplished by adjustment of the powered arrangement and by use of pneumatic controls not shown to lessen and preferably prevent air bubbles. Stop 39 b limits movement downward. The amount of mixture introduced into each mold half 51 a is 5.4-5.7 g. At a later time a bottom mold half 59 of a series of bottom mold halves 59 a, 59 b, etc. has similar mixture amounts introduced into its cavity 58 (FIG. 6).
Upon location of the coated core 14 in halves mold 51 a, b, c after gelling for 50-80 seconds, the vacuum is released in line 46 a allowing core 14 to be released. Mold halves 51 a, b, c with core 14 and solidified cover half 80 thereon is removed from the centering fixture unit 30, inverted (see FIG. 6) and mated with other mold halves 59 a, b, c which, at an appropriate time earlier have had a selected quantity of reacting polyurethane prepolymer and curing agent introduced therein to commence gelling.
When a plurality of mold halves 51 a, b, c etc. and 59 a, b, c etc. are filled and clamped at one time, the following time sequence is preferred.
The sequence of introducing the polyurethane mix into the top mold half 51 a (1T) and its mate the bottom mold half 59 a (1B) is as follows: Introduction of the mixed prepolymer and curative into the top mold 51 a starts the time sequence which start is referred to herein as time zero. The top half mold 51 a receives the mix first at time zero and shortly mold half is placed in fixture unit 30. The core is initially inserted in the mix located in top mold 51 a at time 60 seconds (see FIG. 10). At time 72 seconds, bottom mold half 59 a (1B) is filled and at time 132 seconds, the mold halves 51 a, 59 a (1T-1B) are mated and clamped. At time 126 seconds, the mix has been in top half 51 a 126 seconds and mix has been in bottom half 50 a for 60 seconds. The sequence of filling other mold halves 51 b (2T) and 59 b (2T) and so forth follows a similar pattern. Within this sequence of mixing and dispensing of the prepolymer and curative commences at −4 to −7 seconds.
The thorough mixing that takes place in mixer 60 for the period of time described provides an improved cover material. Mold halves 51, 53 are pre-heated to 160-190.degree. F. The core is held in its fully-down position for 30-40 seconds and the vacuum is then released. Following clamping of mold halves, the clamped mold is put in a curing oven for approximately 10 minutes to reach a mold temperature of 140-180.degree. F. followed by cooling for approximately 10 minutes to reach a mold temperature of 50-70.degree. F.
The mold halves are clamped together under 400-600 psi pressure. The mold halves each contains sufficient reacting material to form hemispherical portions of the cover. Mold halves are held together for 10-15 minutes and thereafter cooled from 140.degree. F.-180.degree. F. to 50.degree. F.-70.degree. F. and then opened to demold the ball. Excess polyurethane is extruded from the mold cavity into sprue channels 51 s forming solidified sprues not shown.
A wound center was dipped in a 30% pre-vulcanized latex solution, drained and partially dried in a current of warm air. Remainder of drying was accomplished at room temperature. Latex penetration was approximately 50 mils. A mold half was preheated to approximately 160.degree. F.
A mixture of 100 parts of Betathane 23.711, an MDI-based polyether prepolymer, 5.19 parts of titanium dioxide dispersion and 48.27 parts of Polamine 250 was prepared. Approximately 5.6 g of this mixture was dispensed into a heated mold cavity and allowed to thicken for approximately one minute. A dipped wound core with a diameter of 1.580″ was placed in the bottom mold cavity by means of the centering fixture shown in FIG. 3. The core was held in a concentric position for approximately 40 seconds to allow the material to thicken further to support the core. The top heated mold half was then filled and the material allowed to thicken for approximately 1 minute. The top and bottom mold halves were then assembled and clamped by bolts or any conventional manner. The assembled mold was introduced into a curing oven and cured for 10 minutes at approximately 160.degree. F. The assembled mold was then introduced into a cooling chamber for approximately 10 minutes to reach a mold temperature of 50-70.degree. F.
The resulting cover was approximately 50 mils thick on a side and had a Shore D durometer of approximately 58-60 when measured after a two-day waiting period. Subsequently, the ball was painted and the cover was observed to be highly abrasion and cut resistant. Spin rate of this ball was approximately 100-200 rpm lower than a balata covered ball(Tour 100) with an acceptable velocity of 252.7 ft/sec.
The steps of Example I were carried out except that the wound core was not dipped in a latex solution.
The steps of Example I were carried out except that a solid core was used.
The steps of Example I were carried out with a solid core without a latex dip.
A range of core sizes that can be employed in this invention, whether dipped or non-dipped, is 1.560″ to 1.610″ was determined by previous testing that as core size of the ball increases, ball velocity increases (FIG. 11). However, if the durometer of the cover remains the same, spin rate of the ball was materially unaffected. Spin rate can be changed by modifying the durometer of the cover by selecting different ratios of materials or combining other materials. Cover durometers of 48 Shore D to 72 Shore D are attainable with the preferred range of 58-62 for this type of ball.
The relationship between durometer and spin rate was determined to be linear with harder durometer covers producing lower spin rates (FIG. 12).

Achievement Guide + Roadmap
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 6/10
-Offline: 19/20 (195:gsicon:)
-Online: 11/20 (5:gsicon:)
-Approximate amount of time to 200:gsion:: ~40 hours
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1+
-Number of missable achievements: No.
-Do cheat codes disable achievements: No
-Does difficulty affect achievements: No
-Glitchy achievements: No
-Unobtainable achievements: No
-Extra equipment needed: No
There are no difficulty settings for the game and there are no cheat codes so you'll just need to practice. All of the achievements, apart from one, can be gained by playing through career events and quick play so you'll only need to go online the once, for the online achievement.
Abbreviated Walkthrough
You'll want to go through the career events first, getting three stars in all of the events. The earlier ones are very easy and gradually, they get harder and harder. If you're having trouble with any of them, carry on and come back to it later when you've saved some cash up and upgraded your cars. Once you've 3-starred all of the career events, you will want to clear up some of the miscellaneous achievements such as 'ADRENALINE ACTIVATION' and 'HAWAIIAN SURF'. If you've completed all of the career events to 3 stars, you'll want to carry on playing quick play or multiplayer to get your rank up to rank 80. A quick way I've found of gaining REP is starting up a drift quick play. - you'll earn around 30k-40k REP every race.
Carry on playing and save up your money and buy all 20 of the cars and all of their upgrades. This is the most time consuming achievement to do, and the best method I've found to gain cash is again, drift quick play. The race lasts 3 minutes and you gain around $100k every race. Once you've saved up a good chunk of cash, go to the shop and have a lovely spending spree!
Giving Windows Phone a nice breath of fresh air for gaming, Asphalt 7: Heat looks awesome and plays great too. With online multiplayer, the game is sure to keep you hooked for a while! The achievements aren't hard at all and only one of them will keep you grinding for all of the upgrades.
Achievement Guide:
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPkViz0=.jpgADRENALINE ACTIVATION 10:gsicon:
Enter Adrenaline mode with the DeLorean DMC-12
This is a simple one! Buy the DeLorean DMC-12 from the Tier 1 car category, start up a quick match and save up your nitro. When your nitro bar is full, simply activate your adrenaline and the achievement will pop!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPs0gog=.jpgBIG SPENDER 10:gsicon:
Spend over 1000000 Dollars on a new car
As you progress through the career events, youll unlock cars to buy. At the end of cup 10 or 11 you unlock a car that will cost $1.2M. Save up your cash and then go buy it from the shop! The achievement is yours!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UP1XmFc=.jpgIS THAT A LAMBO - 10:gsicon:
Buy all Lamborghinis
You'll need to complete 12 of the 13 career events to unlock one of the Lambos, so you'll need to play through this first. Once you've unlocked all six cars, you simply need to save up enough money to buy them all. To see which ones you still need, tap on 'sticker book' and sort the cars by brands.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UP92keI=.jpgBLAZIN FAST 5:gsicon:
Reach a top speed over 550km/h
You will most probably get this without even trying by playing through the career events. If you still need to get it, upgrade one of the Tier 7 cars speed, acceleration and nitro and go crazy on a track.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UP6WaXE=.jpgHAWAIIAN SURF 10G:gsicon:
Perform a 1000 m Drift in HAWAII
About ¾ of the way through the track, youll come to a boost pick-up and a bridge. As soon as you get off the bridge, you want to stick to the right of the track and go in to a drift. There is about 1,100m of track here with a nice curve so its rather simple to pull off.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UP+QdMo=.jpgTIGHT REP 10:gsicon:
Reach REP rank 5
See MAD REP.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-791rQ==.jpgCAR COLLECTOR 15:gsicon:
Buy all cars
Exactly what it says on the tin. Youll need to complete all of the career cups for all of the cars to unlock, then you will need to save up money (and plenty of it) the cars range from $30k up to $2.5M. Keep racing online and with computers to gain those extra dollars!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+h2eVA==.jpgSLOW AND STEADY 5:gsicon:
Win a Normal Race without using Nitro
Start up a normal race in quick play, upgrade a cars speed and acceleration and simply win a race without using your nitro. I believe Moscow is the shortest track with the ability to do a lap in less than one minute with a Tier 7 car. Some people have reported that you just need to place in 3 events in a row (1st, 2nd or 3rd).
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+-1mxw==.jpgMONSTER TRUCK MADNESS 10:gsicon:
Perform 1 Unstoppable during a single Adrenaline mode
Save up your nitro until your nitro bar is full. Once full, activate your adrenaline and smash into a random car. BOOM! Easy as that!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+dxvcg==.jpgTHE MECHANIC 15:gsicon:
Buy all Upgrades
The achievement that is going to take you some time! You need to buy all upgrades for all cars. There are 20 cars with 36 upgrades on each and every one of them. With the upgrades costing around $15k to $20k a pop, its going to cost more than $10M to unlock.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+DyX4Q==.jpgDECAL DEVOURER 15:gsicon:
Unlock all decals
This will unlock when you hit rank 80.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+xuD7w==.jpgSHARE THE PAIN 10:gsicon:
Share on Facebook 3 time(s)
After each race/event you complete you will get the option to share your results to the world. Simply hit share and select just Facebook or Facebook and Twitter and then post. If you dont have Facebook, you can simply hit share, then press your phones back button to trick the game in to thinking you have actually shared!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+vt7fA==.jpgHOT HAND 5:gsicon:
Win 3 online events in a row
Simply win 3 events online, in a row. If youre having trouble with this one, you can use two Windows Phones and create a private game for yourself but its not too tough! Some people have reported that you just need to place in 3 events in a row (1st, 2nd or 3rd).
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+dQk0A==.jpgTRAFFIC CONTROLLER 10:gsicon:
Perform 3 Traffic Control(s) in NORMAL RACE
When you hit in to the back of cars going the same direction as you, you achieve rep for traffic controller. All you have to do it perform three of these in one race and youll be 10G better off!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+-UtZQ==.jpgALL-STAR 15:gsicon:
Earn all Stars in Career events
Just like a lot of games now, youll need to achieve three stars in every single career event. Some will be tricky, some will be a piece of cake. The one piece of advice I can give it upgrade your cars all the time and youll glide through them all.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+hXV9g==.jpgMEGA MOOLAH 15:gsicon:
Earn more than 20000000 Dollars over the course of your racing career
Youll earn cash all the time, every race, no matter what. This is over your career lifetime so it doesnt matter if you want to buy some cars and/or upgrades. To check how much you have earned, use the Asphalt Tracker to see.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-lfGnA==.jpgKNOCKDOWN TITAN 10:gsicon:
Perform 60 Knockdowns
A knockdown is when you make your opponents crash into walls and wreck their cars. There are several career events that get you to play round of Beat Em All where you can earn these knockdowns. An easy way to achieve knockdowns is wait until your nitro is full and smash into any opponents you see. When youre in adrenaline mode, any car that touches you will be wrecked.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-HbPKQ==.jpgGET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP 5:gsicon:
Use 5 Sponsor(s)
Before you start a race, you can buy sponsors to help you increase your rep, nitro, adrenaline and so on. Buy them before all of your races and when youve bought five the achievement will unlock.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPj1c64=.jpgULTRA REP 5:gsicon:
Reach REP rank 50
See MAD REP.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPy3YMQ=.jpgMAD REP 10:gsicon:
Reach REP rank 80
Not too tricky but a little time consuming! Youll rank up really quick playing through career events, so focus on that first. If youve completed the career events and you need to earn more rep, a nice and easy way is to start up a drifting quick play on any course and buy the extra REP sponsor. Build up big combos and youll achieve 30k-50k rep every race.
looks great.
if i can offer some small advice. you should bolden the achievement name and put a space between the achievement description and your guide on how to get it, as well as using the standard font size. it just destinguishes everything. and use the :gsicon: symbol instead of the letter G, example;
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPkViz0=.jpgADRENALINE ACTIVATION – 10:gsicon:
Enter Adrenaline mode with the DeLorean DMC-12
This is a simple one! Buy the DeLorean DMC-12 from the Tier 1 car category, start up a quick match and save up your nitro. When your nitro bar is full, simply activate your adrenaline and the achievement will pop!
if you need to know how to input the achievement tile pictures, let me know and ill try to explain it as best as i can.:)
You should also do a roadmap for it. CLICK HERE for the guide and roadmap 'how to' thread.
I got Slow and Steady coming in 3rd on a race. I think you just need to place.
Thanks for the feedback. How does this guide look now? :-)
be sure to submit it when you are certain it is finished and you are happy with it.
CLICK HERE to be taken straight to the submit forum.
Thanks Scotty! I have to wait a month for submission, but I will keep an eye on it and edit it if need be. :-)
I managed to get Slow and steady by coming in dead last so as long as you don't use nitro you should be fine to get it.
Great game!
This is most annoying with the touch keys on Lumia 920. I had to use folded paper and electrical tape over the keys so not to exit the game every 10 seconds. Damn sensetive touch keys it's on normal still went through 20 pieces of paper. But now I found the sweet spot. no matter what I do I cant exit the game I have to remove the "patch". I use Control D in the settings.
40 hours? Why would they do this to us!? No buy. Not even if free. Thanks for putting the guide up! Looks good :)
Anyone able to successfully create a Gameloft live account? Whenever I click create account it just brings me back to the previous screen. Any way to sign up outside of the game?
Another way to make easyish money is play Quick Play , Paint Job, Moscow, I earn about £1k every two minutes and the best thing about this is u don't have to do anything....start the race, leave your phone alone retry and repeat .....the only down side is it's not great for earning XP
I finally got it to work by clicking create account after trying to connect without a user name and password entered.
has anyone got a good way of getting to 80 rep? Ive tried quick drifts but only get 5-9k without the sponsor, seeing as its a waste of 105k towards the massive amount needed. Currently level 55.
I got three consecutive wins online but didn't get the achievement. Does your Gameloft live user name have to be the same as your Xbox gamer tag to get the achievement?

I did try hosting a game in the middle of those three but noone joined - that may also have reset the counter?
besides that what i do is for the rep i do quick play drift on Miami, for the extra rep i used the sponsor and the most rep i remember getting is 63000, the most money i get is about 115000 in just 3 minutes and that is still a long grind to get money for the upgrades.
I have also experienced this however I don't believe I am able to make my Gameloft username the same as my Xbox live tag as it contains a space [ which is disallowed when creating a Gameloft account ]. :confused:
MONSTER TRUCK MADNESS hasn't unlocked for me and I've done loads of Adrenaline takedowns. :(
& actually managed to get both achievements in one race even though I finished in 5th place?¿?
So I'm not quite sure what they mean by "Win The Race" :wtf
Moscow & HAWAII are good for drifting to make up to $100K & about 16K in Rep.
P.S. Just tried Miami and it works better $130K and 29K in Reps.

"I was so amazed at how quick the turn around time was. The quality, picture and information on the card was beautifully made."

I was very excited to recieve these and delighted with the result."
"The colors used on this invite were vivid, really nice looking. The selection of fonts and styles made the piece look great too. I liked that you can use the reverse side for important details."
"Love the card, and the staff on the phone were so helpful! Thank you Tiny Prints... this is my 2nd time ordering and I am very pleased. I always find exactly what I am looking for."
"This was my first order with Tiny Prints and I am very impressed. The invitations are high quality - nice heavy paper, wonderful colors (purple and pink are my daughter's favorite colors). The design is classically beautiful, yet different from the usual communion invitations."

Bad haircut?
This boyfriend/girlfriend routine is the weirdest trolling I've ever seen.
Also, who gives a fuck if someone hits on your girlfriend? If she still goes home with you and loves you what's wrong with people hitting on her? In fact, if she's cute and its W2 I'll hit on her too.
Guys hit on your bitch right in front of you? That would make you a pussy.

Seriously man people hit on your girlfriend, because she is probably very attractive. Does she go into a porta potty and have sex with every guy that does it? No. Does she go home at the end of every day with you? Yes. People hitting on your girlfriend is a big part of life, just have the wit and charm to deal with it and be a sauve ass mother fucker. If some guy starts getting handsy grab him by the face and tell him what's up and let your girlfriend know she's dating a man, not some scared child who is so insecure he has to tell the whole internet he wants his girlfriend to miss the best 3 days of her life.

Cocktails and Noshes in SoPi: Inside l'Entrée des Artistes Pigalle & Le Grand Pigalle
July 7, 2015
l'Entrée des Artistes, Emma Stencil
Paris' best playground is at the base of Montmartre, in the once red-light district turned bohemian paradise with no end of bars, boutique hotels, and late-night neo-bistrots. The Pigalle neighborhood has been reinventing itself over the past two years with the opening of cocktail bar innovators like Dirty Dick, Glass, and Lulu White. And the quartier continues to grow with the recent addition of l'Entrée des Artistes and Le Grand Pigalle Hotel, installed just across from each other on rue Victor Masse. Two more great reasons to head to north on a weeknight in Paris.

Strolling Paris' Still-Shifting 11th: rue Popincourt & rue de la Folie-Méricourt
June 19, 2015
Split only by the busy boulevard Voltaire, the rue de la Folie-Méricourt and rue Popincourt form a bridge between the Oberkampf and Voltaire neighborhoods of Paris. Starting at the southern end of rue Popincourt and rue de la Roquette, just steps away from the 11th arrondissement's town hall, a neon horse head greets you as you approach Chez Aline. The horse head, along with the flashy yellow-tiled interior, is a throwback to the space's former incarnation as an equine butcher's shop. Chef Delphine Zampetti doesn't specialize in controversial meat, but rather delicious lunch offerings, which do sometimes include surprising proteins. The octopus, salicorne, and cucumber salad is a particular favorite among locals as are the sandwiches, which are made using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Brasserie Barbès: Changing Times in Paris' Barbès Neighborhood
May 29, 2015
What must be this year's most anticipated brasserie address in Paris finally opened its doors this April after a two-year refurbishment. While Brasserie Barbès has been criticized for being too expensive, contributing to making the unpolished Barbès neighborhood too "bobo," and for having to queue for a table, the staff makes patrons feel welcome just as they are – whether they're from this generation or the one before last, and whether they're wearing scruffy trainers from their teenage years or have seemingly just stepped out of Vogue.
The brasserie sits on a street corner in the 18th arrondissement's Barbès neighborhood, in the location of the former Vano discount shop and just across the street from the Louxor cinema, an Art Deco masterpiece. In fact, the new venue also comes with its own South Floridian Art Deco swing, echoed in its enormous bay windows, glitzy brass lighting fixtures, and flower-patterned carpets.

Paris' Best Natural Wine Bars & Shops
May 26, 2015
La Buvette
While it is exciting to live in a city that is increasingly open to international influences and imported ideas, it's also reassuring to know that Paris holds its own as a trendsetter in certain fields. The natural wine scene is definitely one of the domains in which the French capital has gained and maintained solid footing. Senior natural wine sellers such as La Quincave and La Cave des Papilles established themselves as reliable outposts for vin nature in the early days of the movement, bringing low-intervention wine from small-scale vineyards to the city. These role models have inspired a new wave of wine bars to open in Paris, making natural wine increasingly present and accessible.

Hero: Korean Fried Chicken and Original Cocktails in Paris
April 24, 2015
The dream team behind Paris' classy and cocktail-forward Le Mary Celeste, Candelaria, and Glass hits a high note with the greatly anticipated opening of Hero, a three-story Korean canteen and bar. The small menu revisits traditional Korean street food, artfully prepared by Haan Palcu-Chang, former chef at Le Mary Celeste and inventor of the restaurant's beloved deviled eggs.
A stone's throw from Porte Saint-Denis, Hero welcomes a constant flow of thirsty Parisians who assemble around the ground-floor bar. Colorful cocktails, champagne flutes, and shots of soju slide across a pink marble countertop. Cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate creations like the refreshing mezcal, citrus, and soju-based slushy Thug Life (12€) and the creamy Bubble Trouble (10€), combining almond milk, orgeat, absinthe, bekseju, and tapioca pearls.
Designed by Swede Jeanette Dalrot and New York agency Safari Sundays, Hero's interior is original and playful. Diners can climb the staircase lined with potted plants, graffiti, and neon hearts to the restaurant on the second floor, where a quirky arrangement of elevated tables and wooden stools wraps around the walls of the dining room. A quick glance around the small space shows Chinese lanterns made of yarn and fabric, and a multicolored flashing projection on the far wall. The ambiance veers towards new-age club meets Korean spa. In the center of the room is a pretty marble sink, perfect for cleaning up after devouring an order of fried chicken with your bare hands.
Haan wows diners with his variation of yangnyeom, crispy Korean fried chicken covered in sesame seeds and a good dose of garlic sweet and sour glaze or (for the courageous) a spicy gochujang sauce. A half chicken (19-23€) is just right for two people and a whole chicken (36-43€) works well for groups of three or more.
Not to be missed are the flavorful pork buns with ssamjang (7€) and homemade kimchi (3€). Fresh salads (7-9.5€) help to cut the spice and Haan's seared rice cakes with shiitake ragout, Chinese salted radish, gochujang, and tofu purée (8€) is a personal favorite. The desserts are fun and original, combining ingredients like roasted sweet potatoes, meringue, and maple syrup (7€) or rice krispie treats with matcha and yakult mousse (6€).
Visit Hero with two or three friends (so you can order everything on the menu) but not with a first date. Korean fried chicken is a messy business and after two cocktails and an order of yangnyeom, you can expect to be covered in hot sauce.
Hero – 289 rue Saint-Denis, 75002. No tel.

Ellsworth Restaurant and Wine Bar: Revisiting American Comfort Food in Paris
April 7, 2015
Emma Stencil
Paris doesn't lack talented culinary couples. After waving bon voyage to Barcelona-bound Laura Vidal and Harry Cummins of Paris Pop-up, the City of Lights welcomes a new venture by the charming American duo Laura Adrian and Braden Perkins. More than three years after opening successful Verjus Restaurant and Verjus Wine Bar, the pair are introducing a sister restaurant that serves up wine bar favorites (including Verjus' in-demand fried chicken) and other inventive variations on American comfort food.

Holybelly: A Favorite for Seasonal & Local Brunch & Lunch by Paris' Canal St. Martin
March 16, 2015
When Holybelly had its one year anniversary in October 2014, co-owners Nico Alary and Sarah Mouchot had more to celebrate than 365 days of serving quality food to hungry Parisians. The date also served as a reminder of how, in a relatively short time, a unique and well-thought-out restaurant that pays attention to its food and customers can come to occupy such a special place in so many diners' hearts.
True to the motto emblazoned on their brand new mugs, "It's Good Because We Care," the Holybelly team takes caring to a new level. This is evident throughout the dining experience one has here – from Nico's friendly smiles and greetings as soon as you enter the door, to the servers who know your names (and often your orders) after only a few visits, and finally the frequent and observant glances from the kitchen into the dining room checking to see that customers are enjoying their meals.

Gare au Gorille: A Friendly Neighborhood Neo-Bistrot in Paris' 17ème
March 9, 2015
Concealed behind an unassuming rusty metal and white tile facade is Paris' latest culinary incontournable, Gare au Gorille. The peculiar name, lifted from an offbeat Georges Brassens song about an escaped gorilla, lends to the old-world-meets-new atmosphere.
Head chef Marc Cordonnier and sommelier Louis Langevin are longtime friends who talked of opening a restaurant together before they turned thirty, a high school pipe dream realized this year when the pair left Paris' renowned Septime to open their own restaurant in the 17ème.

Windows Mobile 6.5
Microsoft announced Windows Mobile 6.5 on Monday at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The refreshed operating system carries all the hallmarks of former versions, but has now been redesigned to include a honeycomb interface, taking inspiration from the company's Zune MP3 player and optimised for the touch of a finger rather than frantic stylus poking.
So here is the new operating system running on the newly announced HTC Touch Diamond2. Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, whilst on stage with Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, stated that those who purchased the new HTC Touch Diamond2 would be entitled to a free upgrade to 6.5.
So here is what you could expect to see...

In Gainesville, Florida, a protective measure passed last year that allows transgender people to use both male and female restrooms as to their own identified gender has come under attack in a hard-hitting TV ad campaign.
Commissioners voted a 4-3 majority on the provision which was added to the city's anti-discrimination law in 2008 and allowed Gainseville's one hundred transgender residents to pick whichever facility they felt better about using.
Opponents to the measure will have their chance to repeal the measure on the 24th of March when it will go to a referendum ballot after a group of conservatives called the Citizens for Good Public Policy gathered enough signatures to appeal the measure. However, their attacks, which come in a usually gay friendly city, have already begun with a sinister television ad.
The Content of the Anti-Transgender Access Ad
A normal day. A run-of-the-mill playground, and a blond little girl who heads off toward the lady's restroom. Outside an unshaven, baseball cap-wearing man watches the girl enter and then walks in some time after her. A caption is then run across the screen: "On January 28th 2008 Your City Commission Made This Legal."
It is unclear, exactly, what the campaign is saying. The man going into the toilets certainly didn't look like your average transgender person to me. In fact, if anything, he looked like a washed up baseball player, but let us not quibble over casting. The seeming implication to the Citizens for Good Public Policy video is that, in allowing a transgender person to use the facilities of either sex, you have made children vulnerable to sexual predators.
It isn't much of a leap to consider that they are also implying that transgender people themselves could be the aforementioned sexual predators, and whilst the ad isn't implicit in this statement, it certainly doesn't do anything to dissuade from this position either.
Since the provision came into effect, there have been no such reported incidents. However, opponents have said that, whilst the rights of transgender people to use whichever restroom they feel represents them have been increased, the rights of a child to be protected have been reduced.
'You are trying to operate in a realm you do not have the authority to operate in," George Brantley, pastor, told the Commission, as slogans and street campaigners have started brandishing signs saying "Keep men out of women's toilets."
Cain Davis, the chairman of Citizens for Good Public Policy, said, "We know when men go into women's restrooms, bad things can happen," and that it was his groups duty to protect people from a "government gone wild".
Spokespeople for the Commission say that the ad has "grossly distorted" the measure.
The Wording of the Transgender Measure
The measure separates the ideas of "gender identity" and "gender", giving it its own protective class. A draft version of the ordinance was seen to define gender identity as:
"…an inner sense of being a specific gender, or the expression of a gender identity by verbal statement, appearance, or mannerisms, or other gender-related characteristics of an individual with or without regard to the individual's designated sex at birth."
How one could possibly enforce this measure and the necessitated vagueness of its criteria seems difficult at best, and this plays into the hands of organizations like Citizens for Good Public Policy, because, as much as it does protect the rights of transgender people, it does, at least partially, create a legal minefield and opportunities for abuse.
Many transgender people have responded desperately to this debate, just wanting a place to relieve themselves without threat of violence or abuse, whilst some continue to avoid public restrooms altogether with this fear very much at the forefront of their minds.

I really wish people could get past the gender binary idea. I know lots of trans people, mostly transwomen, and have no issue using the same washroom with them or seeing them in the presence of children. Many of them have children themselves, and are parents just like any other parents you know. I am always pleased to see places with non-gendered washrooms, and I make note of them to go back with my trans friends so we can hang out in places where they have more chance of feeling comfortable. I am also quite happy to accompany friends to the washrooms when they are gendered, in case anyone gives them trouble.
Well,the trannnies should take everything into consideration before they leave their cribs.They need to use the bathroom at a filling station or tote a portable urinal jug.They can't expect normal people to accomodate them & let them enter into their toilets,especially not knowing what kinda package they're hiding,or not knowing what's going thru their confused minds.
This is intolerant garbage. They are just trying to equate transpeople with sex offenders and get knee-jerk support from sex crime obsessed Americans.
Would any actual predator really not follow a child into a bathroom due to this law? Are children immune to assault or kidnapping by their own sex? This has nothing to do with sexual predators, they just want to enforce their view on to everyone else.

Mancow Mueller, Mancow Morning Show
Hottest new band and fastest rising band in America. [During live performance aired on the February 4, 2013 radio show and on WPWR, My50 Chicago.]
Live Performance aired nationwide on the January 25, 2013 Music Lounge Segment.
Joe Connors, Paragon Studios
The Board of Governors have a unique hard rock style incorporating melodic chords, hard hitting drums, and catchy lyrical hooks.
The RedEye
Sexy even when sober.
Shawn Kellner, Chicago Music Magazine
The impressive trio sounded like a fusion of hard rock with Chili-Pepper-like vocals. The sound was original and the melodies very catchy. This group is certainly one to keep an eye on.
Kate Jossimer, The Gon Weekly
Board of Governors display a fresh take on a classic sound. They are a great hour of entertainment, well worth any cover charge.
Tiff Tate, The Local Tourist
[These] guys are awesome…Check out their video LIKE YOU WANNA BE which instantly made me a fan.
The UnScene Chicago
Board of Governors Rock Out "Like You Wanna Be" video…The video set in the West downtown area of Chicago was a great way of showing the city's beautiful attributes while rocking on the corner…With so many videos these days being about bling or poppin' bottles in the club, Board of Governors took the route of good old-fashioned music, real topics…The urgency to be yourself comes across nicely…with paused moments of lyrical content, and just drums and guitar-playing.
New and Emerging Music from the Windy City.
This trio, besides the wonderfully complementing vocal harmonies, packed their headlining performance with plenty of fist-pumping, gritty Southern guitar rock. Out of very little, these three musicians created enough sound as if they were a four or five piece guitar rock band. … So what makes this band so good to be asked to perform at this year's Summerfest (in Miwaukee) or I AM Fest (Aug 25th at House of Blues Chicago)? Well, honestly, this trio gives their fans a performance filled with simplistic views about the world around them without any added rock fillers or preservatives. Just pure alternative rock music that will chill and thrill your soul with excitement especially during the instrumental bridges where they soak the ears with plenty of twitterpating riffs or heart-pounding crescendo rises to then POW you with a blast of energetic momentum. … BOG wowed this reviewer with one powerful punch of original music after another which kept their die-hard fanatics screaming for more. Yet still, SouthSide was mainly fascinated by their infamous trio of vocal harmonies that melodically tames the wild rock side of this band. Amazing isn't it how vocals can do that and more to Board's core rock vibe? And it works too. The vocal melodies match the band's guitar sound offsetting (a little) hardcore rhtyhms …not by much to turn them into a contemporary band but still retain that gritty Southern feeling.
Fearless Radio
Board of Governors is a Chicago based rock trio that blends complex universal thoughts of the world around us with a simple straight forward rock sound.
I AM Fest, Independent Arts and Music Festival
Winner of the 2011 I AM Fest Battle of the Bands.
Sarah Flagg, Lincoln Park Patch
Review of BOG's headlining performance at the first annual DANSTOCK concert at Lincoln Hall to benefit cancer research.
SouthSide On The Town
Board of Governors [at the House of Blues on August 25, 2012] turn up the heat as well as electricity with their electrifying guitar rock sound. And this band, blogspot readers, did not disappoint their fans who were screaming and rockin' out along with this trio. There was excitement for the intense riffs and percussion rhythms flowing throughout the main floor ..but watch out for Board's chord changes too -not only will it increase the band's music intensity but also your rock experience even while the hair is flying around the stage.
Miami Short Film Festival
Music Video "Like You Wanna Be" was screened at the "Moments of Insanity" portion of the Miami Short Film Festival. As for the insane conduct, it was noted, "The Board of Governors follows a producer around until he records their demo."
Kyle C. Stilley, Music Without Labels
BOG's music is definitely full of energy and passion. Their music takes you back while incorporating modern musical elements that give it a fresh new spin.
Kevin Kosterman, MilwaukeeMag.com
These riff-driven rockers toe the line between '90s alternative and modern power-pop.
Sarah Flagg, Lincoln Square Patch
Write-up and photos of February 2013 Lincoln Hall headlining performance at Danstock, benefit for the Lurie Comprehensive Care Center.
SouthSide On The Town
Board of Governors [at the Elbo Room I AM Fest Battle of the Bands Finale] stepped up the playing field by rockin' out the Elbo Room basement lounge with some of their hip shakin' and head-banging sound. SouthSide enjoyed the dazzling guitar riffs – so bold and vibrant … This reviewer highly recommends checking out Board of Governors' energized Southern rock vibe even while in a downtempo rhythm.

Non-existent island
It sits between Australia and New Caledonia on marine charts but Sandy Island has now officially been "undiscovered" by Australian researchers. The team aboard the Southern Surveyor went in search of the 24 by 5 kilometre island that has appeared in world maps since 2000, but came across nothing but blue sea in its supposed location.
Long-range missiles
Israel has successfully tested a 300-kilometre-range missile defence system called David's Sling. The rockets will give protection over a far greater range than the 75 kilometres provided by the country's Iron Dome system.
Fast response
More family doctors should give teenagers prescriptions in advance for emergency "morning-after" contraception. So says the American Academy of Pediatrics, which cites research demonstrating that teens are more likely to use emergency contraception if it's readily to hand (Pediatrics, doi.org/jt2).
Transplant pioneer dies
The Nobel prizewinning doctor who pioneered organ transplants has died, aged 93. Joseph Murray, who performed the world's first successful kidney transplant in 1954, passed away at the same Boston hospital in which he conducted the ground-breaking surgery, following a stroke.
Dolphin killer sought
A dolphin serial killer is on the loose. A $30,000 reward will be given to anyone who catches the killer or killers of six dolphins that have recently washed ashore around the Gulf of Mexico. One of the dolphins had been stabbed with a screwdriver; the others were shot or mutilated. Under the US Marine Mammal Protection Act, killing a dolphin is punishable by a fine of up to $100,000 and a year in jail.

It's that time of year when we are all hurrying to finish some holiday shopping. But maybe you went out and got the perfect gift only to find the recipient already purchased it, or it wasn't the right size. What do you do? Well there are some places that are really awesome at returning items from customers and make the it worry-free. We all know that this time of year can be a pain to stand in long return lines (and don't even start thinking about what those lines look like after the holidays!), but it's nice to know that there are some places that you can go and not be badgered or turned away because of a missing or outdated receipt. Here are just some places that I've shopped at and returned items hassle-free:
Costco// I love this store. It has so many items and buying in bulk is always fun except when it's time to pay for that 30 pack of deodorant that you picked up. (but between us, it was a good buy right?!) We purchased most of our wedding beer from this store – it was cheap and they had a good supply. And the best part? You can return the un-used booze! We double-checked their return policy before we purchased any alcohol and found that it was not in a restricted category – sweet! We had 12 cases of Miller Lite left over from our July 2013 wedding (we either bought way too much or we had light drinkers), and because we hung on to our receipt and returned within the required amount of time – we had zero problem getting our money back.
Target// Although Target can be a nightmare around the holidays – really, who isn't shopping there this time of year? But it's a good place to return items – especially if you can't find your receipt. They have credit card look up. Go bonanza and purchased a ton of baking items recently (we totes did) and forgot who paid for it or where your receipt is? No problem! Bring the card you think you paid for it with and they can return items without a receipt – but only if that was the correct card you purchased your items with. It's helpful, especially for those of us that shopping at Target a lot and have zero idea where that one receipt is buried at!
Binnys// Do you live near a Binny's? If not, they're a liquor store – a chain liquor store that's kinda pretty nice. We bought a lot of our liquor from Binny's for our wedding and when we had to return two handles of vodka and some mixer, we had no problemo! We still had our receipt and the bottles were un-opened – but the product was taken and returned at the purchased price with zero issue!
Vera Bradley// One of my favorite purse stores – Vera has awesome prints that change or update pretty frequently. We're lucky enough to live near a VB factory store where we can get some amazing deals on bags and wallets. I purchased a work bag there last year – something big enough to carry my laptop and papers and stuff and fell in love with the tote that I picked out. It was sturdy enough to support my heavy computer and roomy enough to allow me to stash other items in the bag. It has a ton of pockets both inside and outside of the bag that make storing small items like pens and Tylenol super easy! I also use this bag frequently as my "personal item" when flying because I can stash a ton of stuff in there. Anyways, the first bag I bought was a deep magenta/red and when it rained really bad one day – the color ended up bleeding in a few spots. At a conference a few months later, I met a rep from VB who told me that the bags shouldn't bleed and I can take it into any VB store to exchange with no problem. I didn't believe him – and I didn't have my receipt but attempted the return anyways. To my surprise, I showed the cashier my bleeding bag and she immediately took it and told me to grab a new one! A brand new one! And this time around they had the original print I wanted!!
Do you have any favorite stores to return items at? What was your worst return story?

Customer Reviews for
The product was modifiedReview by Chris Reviewed on 1/11/2015
The seals were ether previously sold and returned (with some modifications) or the vendor made some changes before supply shipped to ZIP. they would not fit my car. If anyone purchased these products "Door glass SEAL" check each snap / tab for installation and if it was disassembled and then modified for Tab location. You will see the holes from the first installation if modified.
I purchase a set of seals from another location that had snap tabs missing. (i would think the fabricator is the problem "NOT ZIP" Zip has done a great job suppling parts for my car and always stands behind the products.

Jordan Zimmermann strikes out the side in seventh inning to keep score tied vs. Cardinals
Oct 11, 2012, 6:11 PM EDT
Jordan Zimmermann was knocked around for five runs over three innings back in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Cardinals on Monday, but he was called on for the first relief appearance of his major league career in Game 4 this afternoon. And he was at the top of his game.
Zimmermann struck out the side to keep the score tied at 1-1 going into the bottom of the seventh inning. He got Pete Kozma and Kyle Lohse swinging and Jon Jay looking to complete his perfect frame. The Kozma strikeout was on a 97 mph heater.
Facing elimination, Ross Detwiler came up huge for the Nationals today, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over six innings while striking out two. Loshe has allowed just two hits and hasn't walked a batter for the Cardinals. His only mistake was a solo homer by Adam LaRoche in the second inning. Looks like we're headed for some more late-inning postseason drama.
- atom55 - Oct 11, 2012 at 6:26 PM
Just how good is the Nationals pitching tonight? They just struck out Matt Holliday looking at three straight balls.
- ptfu - Oct 11, 2012 at 6:29 PM
They must be pretty amazing if they can strike someone out looking on three straight balls. Everyone else has to do it with three called strikes
- dakotah55 - Oct 11, 2012 at 7:04 PM
That hit by Werth almost makes his contract look reasonable.
- atom55 - Oct 11, 2012 at 7:15 PM
I had resigned myself to that inevitable result after about the 35th pitch of that at bat.
Props to you Jayson Werth! That was a pretty fantastic at bat. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to sit in the dark angry and bitter the rest of the night curing your name.
- natsattack - Oct 11, 2012 at 7:05 PM
Game 5!
- lazlosother - Oct 11, 2012 at 7:06 PM
The Werth at bat was just awesome.
- paperlions - Oct 11, 2012 at 7:28 PM
Didn't get to see any of the game, just saw some "highlights" which mostly consisted of Joyce calling balls 4-10″ off the plate strikes….was he that bad all day? That would explain why there were so few hits….but how in the world did anyone ever walk?
- natstowngreg - Oct 11, 2012 at 10:16 PM
I doubt that either side was happy with Joyce. Regardless, Davey needed his staff to step up tonight, and they did. Big time.
Jordan Zimmermann would pitch Sunday, if the Nats win Friday. So this was a case of a starter pitching on his regular throwing day. Normally, Jordan paces himself and throws his fastball 93-95. This inning, he just let it rip, and most of his fastballs were at 97.
- natslady - Oct 11, 2012 at 9:36 PM
Joyce started off giving Lohse the corners, and had a really tight zone for Detwiler–earning himself a lot of very loud boos (nothing thrown on the field, though). Then he loosened it up for both pitchers. It was very strange.

Image of South, TV linked on screen
Nominated in Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories at tonight's Academy Award ceremonies, "The Help" brings Hollywood back to its favorite moment in the South, says University of Memphis communication professor Allison Graham, author of "Framing the South."
That moment is 1963, a crucial era of shock and triumph in the civil rights movement, and a time that is easy for film artists to place in history with images from television news, Graham says.
If the Old South is a movie set characterized by "Gone With the Wind," the Modern South, to the rest of the nation is a black and white TV image.
Graham, who helped write, direct and produce the 1993 documentary "At the River I Stand," about the two months leading to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in Memphis, spoke last week to the Memphis Rotary Club about theories she developed in her book subtitled "Hollywood, Television, and Race during the Civil Rights Struggle," published by Johns Hopkins University Press.
Television in movies made about the mid-20th century South is "as common as badges and horses in Westerns," Graham says.
"The TV era was also the civil rights era; they came of age together."
The movie version of Kathryn Stockett's 2009 novel "The Help" relies on televisions strewn throughout the sets in Jackson, Miss., homes to telegraph its time. "You see 'Guiding Light,' Medgar Evers boycotting in Jackson, some of (President) Kennedy's funeral," she said.
The figure who embodies the fear and terror of the time is the Southern sheriff, she says.
"In the summer of 1955, Harold Strider, the obese, tobacco-chewing sheriff of (Tallahatchie) County, Mississippi, lumbered onto national television screens during the Emmett Till murder trial," Graham writes in "Framing the South." Strider was followed by "a succession of lookalikes": Bull Connor of Birmingham, Jim Clark of Selma, Lawrence Rainey and Cecil Ray Price of Neshoba County, Miss. All outfitted to protect and defend the citizenry, all seen "vigorously resisting the law of the land."
"Civil rights leaders realized that well-placed cameras were an ally," Graham says. "If you could see that clash, you don't need words for it, violence doesn't need words."
And fortunately for the ultimate success of the movement, "It took a long time for that to sink in to some of the sheriffs."
Images of Clark physically assaulting people in Selma, or just staring at the camera, were not just unsympathetic, they were electrifying. Clark staring menacingly at the camera "It's as if you the viewer were being beaten up by Jim Clark," Graham said.
When Clark and his posse charged into marchers on the bridge in Selma in 1965, beating them with clubs, ABC News interrupted the showing of "Judgement at Nuremburg" to air 15 minutes of raw footage from the attack.
"It virtually ensured that LBJ (President Lyndon Johnson) could pass the Voting Rights Act," Graham says.
The perfect opposition to the Strider-Clark image of a Southern sheriff is found in "The Andy Griffith Show," which premiered in 1960. In her book, Graham describes Andy Griffith's character, Mayberry Sheriff Andy Taylor, as "almost a practicing pacifist" who requires his deputy Barney to keep the one bullet he's allowed buttoned in his shirt pocket.
Graham finds a touch of irony in the casting of Bryce Dallas Howard as Hilly, the racist villainess of "The Help." Howard's father, Ron Howard, got his start in the movie business as Opie Taylor, Andy's freckled, red-headed son.
