Vauxhall has been one of the most popular car manufacturers of all time – but some models have enjoyed more success than others, writes motoring journalist Rob Griffin.
Here are some of the best and worst creations that have rolled off the company's production lines over the past 100 years.
The Chevette was a supermini made from 1975 to 1984.
It was arguably the car that turned everything around for Vauxhall and helped shake off its unenviable reputation for producing rust-prone machines.
This is something that had dogged the manufacturer for the best part of two decades.
It was introduced to the car buying public with a television add featuring a catchy tune and jingle proclaiming: "It's whatever you want it to be."
This was actually a fair point. Its versatility and stylish good looks made it hugely popular and introduced a new generation of potential buyers to the Vauxhall marque.
The Astra name has been around for more than 30 years but the latest model to bear its name is a stunning machine and seen as a viable rival to Ford's Focus.
Top Gear even branded it as "perhaps the best Astra ever".
Available in a variety of options, the Vauxhall Astra has sleek, sporty lines and a well-designed interior – in contrast to the rather bare and basic look of the past.
With its punchy performance it's fair to say this Astra is no longer a dull company runaround.
The Zafira may not have been enough to take your breath away when it first arrived around at the tail end of the 1990s.
But this family transporter actually warrants its place among the most important Vauxhalls ever made, according to motoring author Giles Chapman.
"It was the first seven-seater compact MPV where the seats would properly fold into the floor," he says.
"It was also based on the Vauxhall Astra so you knew it was going to be pretty bullet proof."
Despite its American styling and lavish amounts of chrome – quite radical as far as affordable British family cars were concerned – this car was a disaster, recalls Chapman, author of The Worst Cars Ever Sold.
"It set the Vauxhall cause back enormously through the 1960s because it was such a rust bucket," he says.
"The inner body tended to trap a lot of rain water and, as it wasn't very rust proof, it just rotted."
Although thousands were shipped overseas its popularity didn't last.
"Its bad reputation meant it was only an export star for a brief time," adds Chapman.
"It was just poorly conceived and poorly designed."
The Vauxhall Vectra replaced the popular Cavalier in the UK but didn't get off to the best of starts when it was savaged by Jeremy Clarkson in a six-minute long segment on Top Gear.
Clarkson described it as a "box on wheels" and "like road testing a microwave oven".
It was the dictionary definition of a boring, functional company car with a pretty cramped and unappealing interior.
While there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the Vectra, it did nothing to trigger excitement and was overshadowed by the Ford Mondeo at the time.
It might be hard to believe but the Belmont can actually lay claim to being one of Britain's most regularly stolen cars.
In fact, a Home Office commissioned car theft index revealed it to be the car most at risk in 2005 with 76 stolen out of every 1,000.
First appearing in the mid-1980s, the Belmont was a saloon with a huge boot at a time when hatchbacks were the shape of choice.
Had they called it an Astra Saloon it may have been better received but its name reflected its styling - ugly.
Are these the best and worst Vauxhall cars ever made?

I bought a chèvette in 1975. It was sold as being built to last and was just a year old when I purchased it. Within 18 months the rust was coming through on the wings. So much for putting the rust bucket image behind it.

The PA Cresta runs the F Series Victor a close second. Their cornering and roadholding were dreadful and you could almost watch them rust away. Once the styling had been tidied up they were both handsome cars, if you like that sort of thing. But those windscreens meant an awful lot of bruised knees.

It must be the 2.2ltr CDI Vectra with a guaranteed speed of around 25mph especially when you were in the outside lane of the motorway. It died on you when driving! Did they ever sort out their injection fiasco?

Of all the cars I have had in 30 years of driving, my Vauxhall Astra mk1 was the worse. I have always avoided them since. Everything went wrong from the pistons to the heater system. As I remember it was 4 years old when I bought it.... thought I was treating myself!!!!

Nobody has mentioned the Vauxhall Meriva as one of the worst cars. On the outside a sizeable mpv. Inside huge pillars that restrict vision, lousy fuel economy, tiny glove box and door bins, stupid location of the windscreen washer bottle that requires major parts removal to change the electric pump, ECU bolted on to the inlet and exhaust manifold so that it gets fried and conks out prematurely, two different types of screws used to secure the rear light cluster to make bulb changing hassle, A/C that whines like a groaning walrus.... I could go on.

Hi all! Agree with some of this. The Chevette was definitely a pretty decent car. 'One million' variations, with just the one 1256 engine lol. (Discounting the homologation HS/HSR). Well put together and quite reliable. I'd add the mk 1 Cavalier. A really good looking Wayne Cherry finished design, which was far better dynamically than its main rivals. The GL version was in production for six years, and all that was added in that time were head restraints and a tachometer. Kind of proof positive that the car was right first time. The Zafira, with its clever third row of seats, set new ground for MPVs and was much copied. Used diesel versions sold like the proverbial 'hot cake' a few years ago. Not sure anyone should be paying any attention to the comments of Clarkson. He has made the 'white goods' reference on many an occasion. The 'test' of the Vectra in question was more about Clarkson creating a laddish image for himself at the time, rather than a focus on the demerits of the Vauxhall. In spite of this, the 'criticism' seemed to stick to the Vectra much more than the same criticism which was levied at the Laguna during the same 'test', as the Vectra was the focus of the evaluation. Saying that, the Vectra was no better than average and hardly an improvement on the Cavalier mk 3 that preceded it. If I were looking for 'bad' Vauxhalls, I'd look at the early 'engine management era' cars. I ran/drove/sold a lot of mk 2 and mk 3 Cavaliers during the '80s and '90s. Apart from the odd one or two cars, Vauxhall quite rightly earned itself a reputation for decent reliability during that time frame. Then motor manufacturers moved into the 'mother board' era, and I think GM Europe didn't adapt to this very well at all in the early days. Every Vauxhall related problem I came across in the early noughties, was related to the running electronics. The Omega was king of this! If the electronics under the bonnet hadn't gone south, then the electronics in the auto box had. Would have thought the Firenza HP (Droopsnoot), and the VX220 were worth a mention.

I found nothing wrong with the Chevette it is the way you look after your car mine was 3 years old when I bought it and I had it 3 Years and no rust The best car I had though was a Cavalier it had over100,000 miles on the clock when it finally gave up yet there was nothing wrong with the engine.

From a mechanical perspective from my time and experience (80's to today), it appears that GM build quality was ropey, with equally ropey bodywork. However this is no different to any other British car of the time. The early 90's Cavalier was built to a much higher standard, both body wise and mechanically than anything they'd done before, and seemed to be here to save Vauxhall. And indeed it did well and held up to things like rain. It seems they rode on the back of the Cavalier's success (at the time it was very successful) and went back to making cars of lower quality like the Vectra mentioned in this article. Obviously this was in the good old days, when manufacturers designed and made their own cars, and now Vauxhall shares chassis and designs just like every other manufacturer. Although I do use a 59 plate Astra at work and do find it a lot nicer than other cars of its class. While we're on the subject, how has the Nova not been mentioned? A lovely nippy little car that looked prime to do well, coming in at a slightly higher spec than an Austin Metro and getting more of a cult status with the kids - but alas has to have been the most easy rotting car I have ever laid eyes on. I swear you could watch water fall on it and see the rust form. My two pence on the matter anyway! Have enjoyed reading other peoples responses :)

What about the Viva? It rusted before it left the factory. Then there was the Corsa. You haven't owned a heap of total rubbish until you've had one of those.

Pretty inaccurate article to be honest. The Chevette was a rotbox with the useless Viva engine, better was the Opel Kadett version, flat front and a decent 1200 engine. Best Vauxhall? The Nova, without a doubt. I had my SR for 10 years, and routine service items aside, it needed: a fuel pipe from the pump to the carb, 2 parcel tray lift straps, and 2 rear wheel bearings. Rust was minimal and it was a hoot to drive. Next best? 2 litre 8 valve Astra mk 3 or Cavalier mk 2. I had the Astra for 11 years, not quite as fault free as the Nova, but still good. 1.0 mk1 Corsa, reliable but dull. The worst Vauxhall. All post mk 3 Astras. They handle better, but the engines are useless, Sadly, Vauxhall cannot make 16 valve engines. The worst is the 2.2. Drinks oil (250 miles per litre) valve trouble, timing chain trouble (Supposed to be more reliable than a belt!) and EGR problems (like most others in the range sadly) mena it will bankrupt you. Do not buy a VX220 non turbo, it uses this engine and so is not a performance car unless you like topping the oil up daily.

The Astra MK3 was the best ever car to come out of Vauxhall.....huge engine choice, superb reliability, low service costs, and a very nice drive......most underrated car I have ever drove.

Break my heart why don't you, the first car I owned was a Belmont, and if the Astra was a good car, then the Belmont was a good car with a big backside. Surprisingly nippy for a 1.6, I bought mine in 1993 when it had done 57K, and put another 78,000 miles on it before scrapping it 8 years later, when it was 13. It's red colour had practically faded to orange, to the extent it was nicknamed The General, and I almost painted a confederate flag on the roof. It was stolen at one point, and though I got it back, it was never the same. I miss that car...
6:46 PM on 08/10/2013
I loved my mark 3 Cavalier 1991 vintage. I actually won it from the Insurance Service - only 13 miles on the clock when I got it. Driving home in a strange new car I noticed it dipping into a corner, looked down at speedo - I was clocking 100 mph without realising it ! That is how comfortable it was. It never needed any oil between services, the only major expense was to replace all the tyres after about 60,000 miles. My garage were complimentary about cavaliers, it was a common reps car at the time, but always reliable and economical for a 1.6 engine. The only time it let me down was when the cam belt gave up after about 15 years! Even when it blew a tyre on the M1, I could still come to a safe stop. We had to part company after 17 years because the roof lining had come adrift.
7:48 PM on 08/10/2013
My first car was a Vauxhall Chevette but you are missing a glaringly obvious car, the Vauxhall Lotus Carlton, why leave that out of the best, btw I now drive a 1997 Astra & I love it.

If you want to slate Vauxhall's for rust, did anyone read this month's car mechanics magazine? Vauxhall were rated quite high, but the boys from Dagenenham were rated very poor and yet if you believe all the media hype Ford can do no wrong! The KA and some Fiesta's are very rotprone, my MOT tester told me that its quite common to see 04 plate KA's showing serious rot already and Ive seen 52 plate examples in the breakers with terminal rust! My Y plate escort van required welding around the rear shock mountings and thats had a very easy life for a van. Back in the eighties I can remember mk 2 Escorts having to have the front strut tops welded up after 5-6 years and thats a major load bearing point, at least if your Chevette went rusty it was usually around the front wings, that were bolt on incidentally. As far as my experience goes, and Ive owned many Vauxhall's there hasnt been a bad one. My HC Viva did over 150000 miles on the same engine, and still survives. My 96 Astra 1.6 8v estate just keeps on going, just a few miles short of 150k. The only duffer they have made is the ugly pointless Signum, why they dropped the brilliant Omega for that I will never know! Its funny how although Clarckson hammered the Vectra, there seems to be quite a following for them within the go faster brigade, maybe they know a good car when they see it?

Bought a 2nd hand Vectra a few years ago. Not terrific. 28mpg. It broke down twice on busy roads, first time with alternator packing in, second time with timing belt bust. That finished it, towed off to the knacker's yard. Not terrific memories. Bought a second hand Nissan Micra from about the same year. Really reliable. Kept on going great until written off after accident caused by another driver on his mobile phone. Drove a 2013 Corsa when offered one as courtesy car to replace that old Micra, and it rolled along beautifully for those couple of weeks. It made me re-think my bad opinion of Vauxhall somewhat.

Try as I might I just can't love Vauxhalls. They usually look pretty good ie the Calibra but they just don't deliver. I had a Cavalier GLS as a company car. What a pig. Twice I had to be low loaded in by the RAC because the diesel pump packed up. The back seat fell apart and the speedo failed. It looked good but drove terrible, the 1.7 turbo diesel was gutless and noisy. Years before I used to drive another company car a Vauxhall Viva Estate. When bits were not falling off it was just a yawn car. The boss had a Transcontinental 2.3 Victor which I quite liked but the build quality was rubbish. Last year I hired a Vauxhall Astra 1.4 for a holiday in Scotland. Gutless is not the word, it just was hard work trying to make it go up anything slightly resembling a hill. You can keep Vauxhalls and any other GM offerings. No wonder Ford always leave them in their wake.

I loved my chevette but contrary to what it said above it was rust prone. it was an extremely reliable car but the rust caused me to change it. My next car was a Vauxhall Nova. Now that was a car! I loved it and only changed it when once again I was beaten by rust. It was nearly 13 years old by then. I would have bought another nova if they were still making them.

how about Kvirc
I want to get in the IRC chat rooms and was wondering what clients are good. I downloaded both BitchX and XChat and was throughly disapointed. There are better clients availible right? BitchX being compleltly text based and Xchat had quite a few bugs and lack of functionality. Maybe there is scripts availible for XChat that make it worthwhile?
Second I am trying to get a program that will handle rar files any suggestions?
how about Kvirc

Editor's note: This recipe was adapted by Japanese cooking expert Elizabeth Andoh. Andoh also shared some helpful tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page. To read more about Japanese noodles, click here.
YIELD: Makes 4 servings
- 1 quart Sanuki Sea Stock
- 2 tablespoons light-colored soy sauce (usukuchi shoyu; see Tips, below)
- 2 tablespoons syrupy rice wine (mirin; see Tips, below)
- pinch of salt, optional
- 1 recipe fresh udon noodles or 8 to 10 ounces dried or semidried udon noodles , cooked (reserve cooking water)
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 scallions, trimmed and finely chopped (white and green portions)
- 1 small knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated to yield about 2 teaspoons; optional
In a medium stockpot, combine the stock, soy sauce, and rice wine and heat to the point where small bubbles appear at the rim of the saucepan. Taste and adjust with a pinch of salt, if necessary.
As you heat the soup, warm the bowls in which you will serve the noodles. Use a ladle to carefully scoop out boiling hot water from the pot in which the noodles were cooked and fill each serving bowl half way. Place a flat plate over the top of each bowl until ready to fill with noodles; this "lid" helps retain heat.
Re-heat previously cooked, rinsed noodles: Place them in a deep, conical-shaped strainer (an Asian-style men koshi or a European-style chinois) and briefly dip them back in the boiling water two or three times. Jiggle and swish as you submerge them to separate any clusters. Lift the strainer out of the boiling water and shake and tap to remove excess water. (Or, place the noodles directly in the pot of boiling water, swish and stir, then strain them out into an ordinary colander.)
Place the warmed noodles in the warmed bowls.
Re-heat the seasoned soup stock until piping hot, then stir vigorously in a clockwise direction. Pour in the beaten eggs in a steady stream. Stir once in a counter-clockwise direction, then remove the pot from the stove.
Top each portion of noodles with egg drop soup and some chopped scallions. Serve immediately with the grated ginger on the side.
Elizabeth Andoh shares her tips with Epicurious:
·For this recipe, it's important to make the stock from scratch. Avoid the powdered and liquid "instant" stock products and noodle dipping sauces found in Asian grocery stores. They are typically filled with chemical additives that are of questionable health and nutritional value, and they taste dreadful. Homemade dashi takes little time and effort, and you will be well rewarded in flavor.
·Shoyu (soy sauce) is used in two varieties in the Japanese kitchen: koikuchi, the all-purpose "dark" variety (sold as "regular soy sauce" in the U.S.); and usukuchi, a saltier, lighter-colored but full-strength version (sold as "light soy sauce" in the U.S.). For this recipe, I recommend the "light" variety, but note that it is NOT the same as soy sauce labeled "lite" or "low-sodium." (Low-sodium soy sauce, developed for the American consumer, will not give an authentic flavor.)
·Low-alcohol mirin (syrupy rice wine) is not a drinking wine. Rather, it is used in cooking as a seasoning and glazing agent. Hinode and Musashinagara are high-quality brands available in the U.S.

A living room makeover inspired by the sea
After years of what she describes as walls painted "medicinal white," Melville homeowner Lisa Russo was thirsting for some color in her living room. Plus, the room didn't really reflect their family's needs: She and her husband Anthony, an attorney, hung out in the room, but daughters, Taylor, 16, and Jordan, 14, gravitated to the den and its TV. Russo, a part-time accountant, wanted a beach-resort feel to the space, and she didn't want to move the family's piano. She turned to designer Nina Bock of Plainview's Ethereal Designs and Interiors to add color and elegance. Bock says she used a Caribbean hotel lobby as an inspiration, and she worked to tie the living room, dining room and entry together. Total: About $38,500 for the living room, $7,000 for the dining room and entry. --SYLVIA E. KING-COHEN

FORT DRUM Base housing allowances across the military will increase for 2013, and soldiers from post likely will benefit from the higher payouts.
Nationally, rates will rise 3.8 percent next year, according to the Department of Defense. In most instances, allowances in the Watertown-Fort Drum area will increase for soldiers both with and without dependents.
For a staff sergeant with dependents, the monthly allowance will increase to $1,383 in 2013, up 8.5 percent from $1,275 this year. A captain with dependents will see his allowance jump from $1,782 to $1,839, a 3.2 percent increase. The allowances of junior enlisted soldiers with dependents, such as privates and specialists, will increase about 5 percent in 2013, from $1,203 to $1,266.
A staff sergeant without dependents will see his rate stay flat at $1,068 in 2013, while a captain will see his allowance increase 5 percent from $1,428 to $1,503. The allowance for a junior enlisted soldier without dependents goes from $945 in 2012 to $948 in 2013.
The new rates will go into effect Tuesday.
Housing allowances are set to cover market rent, utilities and renters insurance. Data to estimate the allowance are collected in the spring and summer each year. Ranks that show a decreased housing allowance apply only to soldiers newly arriving on post, and not to those already renting residences.
Carl A. McLaughlin, executive director of the Fort Drum Regional Liaison Organization, said he was encouraged by the rates, after what he called a mixed bag for allowance totals in 2012. He said the higher allowances showed the area still had demand for available housing units.
Though he acknowledged the higher allowances could draw complaints from civilians concerned that they keep rents high, he said the increased housing allowances will help encourage developers to take on development costs to build new residences. The new residences then would create a higher vacancy rate that would stabilize the market and give more choices to renters.
People arent going to build apartments out of the goodness of their heart, Mr. McLaughlin said. This assures them of a fair return for their investment, and what it costs to create a new unit of housing.
Mr. McLaughlin said the vacancy rate now is less than 2 percent.
Until we hit that five to seven percent vacancy rate, well always be a market that doesnt have choice for the consumer, he said.
He said he was concerned that property owners would use the allowance alone to indicate what they could charge for rent, noting the other expenses that the allowance is supposed to cover. However, Mr. McLaughlin said, he had heard few complaints from post about overcharging of soldiers.

Several high schools in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties have gained national recognition in academic achievement.
U.S. News and World Report ranked H.C. Williams High School, Potsdam Senior High School, Lowville Academy high school, Colton-Pierrepont Junior-Senior High School and Ogdensburg Free Academy with silver-medal ratings for student-teacher ratios, college readiness, mathematics proficiency and English language arts proficiency.
Beaver River Senior High School, Belleville Henderson Central School, Clifton-Fine Junior-Senior High School, Lyme Central School, Hermon-DeKalb Central School, Hammond Central School and Edwards-Knox Junior-Senior High School received bronze-medal ratings.
H.C. Williams High School in the Canton Central School District ranked the highest of the schools in the region: 55th in the state.
All 1,149 high schools in the state were listed, but only the schools with gold- and silver-medal ratings were ranked.
According to the report, the school had below-average student-to-teacher ratios, above-average college readiness and above-average math and ELA proficiency.
Potsdam Senior High School ranked 76th in the state and boasted above-average levels for college readiness, math proficiency and ELA proficiency.
Were always excited to be recognized for our academic achievement, said Superintendent Patrick H. Brady. We work very hard to ensure out students graduate with the skills necessary to be successful.
He congratulated high school Principal Joann Chambers and the schools faculty, staff and students for their hard work.
Lowville Academy high school ranked 83rd and had above-average ratings for college readiness, math proficiency and ELA proficiency.
According to Colton-Pierrepont Central School Superintendent Joseph A. Kardash, the school has also had a silver ranking in the past. This year, the school ranked 96th. In the report, the high school had a below-average student-to-teacher ratio and above-average ELA proficiency.
This is fabulous, Mr. Kardash said. I think were all collectively thrilled were looked upon in this light. It speaks to the dedication and pride the teachers and students have for each other.
He said the ranking cannot be obtained by applying for it.
Someone looking upon us decided we should be ranked on this, he said.
Ogdensburg Free Academy ranked 175th with below-average student-teacher ratios.
I think its wonderful, but I wasnt familiar with this special report that was put out, said Ogdensburg City Schools Superintendent Timothy M. Vernsey. Certainly, were always happy to be recognized for academic excellence and the hard work our teachers put in.

Getting People to Come to Meetings
We have heard from more than a few groups that they were having trouble getting people to show up to meetings. Since a lack of attendance can quickly cause a group to fade away, we put together our best advice on how to get and keep people coming to your meetings - a critical part of building up your group.
You can't expect people to show up to meetings if you don't have them regularly. This is the single most important factor in getting people to your meetings. Regular meetings (same time, same place, ideally every week) establish a routine for your members to plan around, build relationships with the members, and increase interest in the group. Once your members get in the habit of showing up at 7:30 on Monday night, they'll be inclined to keep doing it. They'll look forward to seeing one another, and they'll become more engaged with the group's activities.
Often a stumbling block is trying to find a time that works for everyone. Sometimes you can get people to respond to an email or online poll, but oftentimes you just have to pick a time that seems like it will work for people. Once you have people (multiple individuals, not just one person) complaining that they can't make it to the meetings, then you have enough interest that you can ask around for a time that might work better. It is usually best to switch meeting times between semesters so that everyone can plan the new time along with their new class schedule.
2. Advertise for meetings.
Save yourself some time! Since your meetings should be the same time and place every week, design your flyers so that you can leave them up all semester. Then you just have to replace the ones that get covered, worn, lost or stolen!
3. Provide snacks.
Food goes a long way for college students. Providing snack mix, chips, or cookies at your meetings will attract more members - especially if it's mentioned on your advertising. You don't have to go wild and buy pizza for everyone every meeting - a bag of chips or package of cookies should be plenty. If you want to go big, however, check out this resource on How to Get Free Food for Your Group.
Some leaders complain they don't want to bribe people to come to their meetings. If it bothers you, consider providing snacks as a perk, a feature that makes your meetings more worth people's time than another activity they might have gone to instead.
Other leaders think that people will show up just for the food. While someone might go freeloading to a meeting that promises free pizza, it's highly unlikely that they'll come to a meeting just for a few potato chips. Really. They'll just go get a bag of chips from their dorm vending machine - it's way less work!
Last but not least - always make sure that your meeting location is okay with you bringing food. The last thing you want to do is make a bad reputation for your group by getting in trouble!
4. Include activities.
On the other hand, don't feel as though you can't have any business items on your agenda! Your meetings are a great time to do some brainstorming, get feedback on an idea, or to look for volunteers to help out. We encourage you to use these times to get things done - just make sure that's not all you're doing.
The key is to have some activity at each meeting that people are interested, engaged and/or entertained by. There are lots of ideas out there, so get creative and get going! Your members may have suggestions - listen to them and take their ideas seriously.
5. Be respectful of your members' time.
College students have a lot of things to do. Be respectful of this fact when running your meetings. If the posted meeting time is 8 p.m., start at 8. Yes, a few latecomers will miss the beginning of your meeting, but so what? If you advertise ninety-minute meetings, don't drag on for two hours.
This doesn't mean that you have to turn off the lights and kick people out when the timer goes off, though. A huge aspect of any secular group is the community it fosters, and post-meeting gatherings are a great way to build those relationships. Just be sure to announce when the formal meeting is over so that people don't feel like they're obligated to stay when they have other things to do.
6. Get feedback.
Once people start coming to your meetings, solicit some feedback from them. Try to find out why they came and what they liked and didn't like. What would they like to see more of? You might try passing out paper surveys, a clipboard with a question at the top that people can write responses to, or other creative ideas.
And, of course, once you have that information, use it! If comedy film night was a total flop, don't keep doing them. If everyone liked having the biology professor come speak, try to find another speaker to bring in.
7. Foster your group outside of meetings.
You can increase attendance at your meetings by fostering interest in the group outside of those meetings. Does your group have a web forum, Facebook page, discussion listserv, or other method of communication? If not, you're missing a valuable tool for your group. Go start one up! Here are some ideas for web presences.
Then, go feed it! Post interesting videos and articles, links to your favorite blog posts, links to secular news events, and info about secular events in the community or country that your members can get involved in. You probably only need a few items a week, but an active, engaged group might send out several items every day. You might even want to assign an officer the formal role of moderator of the list or group and have her keep the discussion moving.
With these tidbits, you're reminding people between meetings that your group exists and that there's plenty of reasons they should stay involved. The more active a group is, the more likely people are to become engaged, and this is one easy way to show your group's activity level.
One of our best resources to find out what works and what doesn't is you - our student leaders! If you've employed a strategy that worked well, let us know about it so other groups can also use that idea. If you've learned a lesson of caution about something we suggest, point out the pitfalls. You can email firstname.lastname@example.com

The parts of Big Green that downplay the rock and focus on the Spellmans' songwriting are simply divine. "No Surprise" is easily the strongest song on the disc, a gorgeous, slow-motion shuffle that really should get some play in one of Friday Night Lights' more tender moments. "No Surprise" has the light touch of the Band's best ballads (think "The Weight"), with Ryan telling his mother that life will be OK over warm dollops of slide guitar. The title track hits a similar sweet spot but with a simpler arrangement: just an acoustic guitar, lead vocal, and subtle backup harmonies from Raquel Nasser.
But not everything on Big Green is quite so subtle, and a majority of the disc aims for the type of singsongy Americana Dr. Dog has beaten into the ground for too many years. "Nighttime" and "Storm Clouds" aren't bad homages, but they are just too generic to stand out from the crowded camp of local folk-pop outfits. Quiet Life has a lot of potential for greatness—let's just hope it can learn to focus on its quieter side.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Carbon County Sheriff's detectives have recovered stolen property linked to at least 15 burglaries across Carbon and Emery counties.
Roger Taylor and David Brewer have also booked one suspect on a charge of possession of stolen property. They identified him as Kent Michael Collins, 33, address uncertain. They expect other arrests to follow as the investigation continues.
The detectives said they acted on a tip they received from a confidential informant on Aug. 16. On that same day, a quick investigation led them to a supposedly empty and abandoned metal silo off Highway 10 about two miles south of Price.
They found the owner of the silo, who gave them permission to enter, and also to cut off a padlock that wasn't supposed to be there.
"For a place that was supposed to be empty, there was sure a lot of foot traffic around it," Taylor said.
What they found stashed inside the silo explained how the beaten path got there: scores of items ranging from hand tools to musical instruments to bicycles and one small ATV. The value is estimated at $15,000.
It was stuff taken from open garages or from construction sites or back yards. They found a big Lincoln welder that had been stolen along with the trailer it was on in Emery County. The welder was in the silo, the trailer was outside.
Taylor and Brewer are sure that this is the work of a burglary ring that has been busy scouting the region.
"For example, they'd hook onto a construction trailer, take it to the hills, gut it and leave it," Brewer said.
The detectives have been able to reunite about 15 people with their property so far. Other owners will have to describe what they are missing before they can claim their property.
This is an example of why people should inventory their property, take pictures of what they own and write down any serial numbers. It makes it much easier to get the property back in the right hands if this is done, the detectives advised.

Soundgarden has been churning out their grungy, alternative metal hits since the mid-1980s. Lead singer Chris Cornell's gritty voice propelled the band into the spotlight when the Seattle sound was just coming into its own. Decades after the grunge genre's glory years Soundgarden tickets are still selling out, especially after the band's unannounced reunification in 2010.
Finding their niche on the grunge scene, Soundgarden released their 1988 debut album "Ultramega OK" to little praise and much critique. After touring to uphold the fledgling album, Soundgarden went back to the drawing board with a major label before releasing their sophomore album "Louder Than Love" in 1989. Scoring controversial hits in tunes like "Big Dumb Sex" and "Hands All Over," the album gave the band their first charted success. Soundgarden blasted off in their career and onto a tour with Guns N' Roses. Many fans became disillusioned with Soundgarden and their choice of touring mates, believing the band was leaving their roots and becoming more mainstream metal. Soundgarden pushed ahead to release "Badmotorfinger" and "Superunknown," the album that yielded "Spoonman," "Black Hole Sun" and their first Grammy. On an upward swing they toured on Lollapalooza in 1992 with Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam and again in 1996 with Metallica. In 1996 the band released "Down on the Upside" before their breakup in late 1997 … which was followed by the bands reunion more than a decade later in 2010. Tunes "Black Rain" and "The Telephantasm" trailed in the wake of the band getting back together.
Reviews praise Soundgarden's return to the spotlight, proclaiming Soundgarden live in concert is a great experience for all! Grab your opportunity to experience the talent that started the sound that led to the development of an entire genre; buy your Soundgarden concert tickets today!

A long overdue biography of the second Doctor Patrick Troughton is in preparation. ! "Michael's research is comprehensive and meticulous and his enthusiasm for the project is contagious! This book will be a real treat for Doctor Who fans." Patrick Troughton had many film and TV roles, before and after his three years as the Doctor, and was also a Commander in the Royal Navy during the Second World War.
Michael Troughton, known to UK TV viewers as Piers Fletcher Dervish in the classic Rik Mayall comedy The New Statesman, contributed two fondly remembered articles to DWM some years back, in which he discussed growing up with Patrick. This is a wonderful tribute and full account of a full and terrific life of a fabulous actor who loved the T.V set and the Movie set .The wonderful quote from Patrick about the theatre " Shouting in the dark" ! though he was heralded for his on-stage Shakespear productions and his hidden painting talents that the public knew little about.

Mr. Dean was arrested Jan. 9 and originally charged with driving while intoxicated and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, which police identified as a partial tablet of Suboxone. He was also ticketed for speeding and inadequate/no muffler.
In other cases before Judge William R. Small:
Ray A. Planty, 33, last known address 708 Washington St., Apt. 3, Ogdensburg, was sentenced to 179 days in St. Lawrence County jail, Canton, for third-degree assault.
He was accused of punching and kicking Suzette M. Myers, 30, same address, on Jan. 19. He was also ordered to pay $200 in surcharges and told to comply with a no-contact order of protection for Miss Myers.
Mr. Planty was represented by the St. Lawrence County Public Defenders Office.
Clyde R. Thomas, 39, of 810 Greene St., Ogdensburg, pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment to satisfy a Dec. 25 charge of endangering the welfare of a child. He was accused of raising his fist at a 16-year-old girl. Mr. Thomas was fined $100, surcharged $120, granted a one-year conditional discharge and told to comply with a no-harassment order of protection for the girl, whose identity was witheld by the court because of her age.

Buzz: Will Anaheim File Tampering Charges On Justin Schultz?
Late last month, Michael Russo of the Star Tribune said on the radio that he believes that Justin Schultz has made up his mind on what team he will sign with and is just waiting until July 1 to do so.
Russo writes that the team that signs Schultz may have to deal with some accusations from Anaheim, "I guarantee you the Anaheim Ducks will go after them with a tampering charge, because the Anaheim Ducks have been building that case for the last couple of months. They have all sorts of e-mails from him basically saying, 'I'm coming there, I'm coming there,' and suddenly, for some reason, he's not coming there."
Russo believes that Toronto is the team that will sign Schultz. Bob McKenzie tweeted yesterday that he wouldn't be surprised if Schultz landed with a team in Canada.

The Toronto Maple Leafs were fined in 2009 when coach Ron Wilson made comments about trying to sign the Sedin twins.

(NEWS CENTER) -- President John. F. Kennedy left a lot of unfinished business behind when he was assassinated 50 years ago. Several prominent Mainers talk about the impact of JFK and his relatively brief adminstration.
Admirers of President Kennedy point out that his style and vigor helped energize the country. But what about the substance? Musician and activist Noel Stookey says Kennedy helped inspire people to identify and begin to address the many inequalities and abuses in American society. Stookey says "These things though, as difficult as they are to face, I think can be attributed to President Kennedy and his youth, his desire to make the world a better place for more people, his expression of equity for all, which I think forced him to speed up his acceptance of the civil rights legislation."
The Civil Rights laws would be enacted by Kennedy's successor, Lyndon B. Johnson. Attorney Harold Pachios was a press aide in the Johnson White House, and had served in the Peace Corps under Kennedy. He says Kennedy had to move cautiously on civil rights.
"He had to be very careful. He was a New Englander. And he was afraid of really totally angering all of the South and losing all of the South. Lyndon Johnson was not afraid of that."
Formner Senator George Mitchell says while Johnson finished what Kennedy started, there was a price to pay.
"Lyndon Johnson said to (press secretary) Bill Moyers when he signed the civil-rights law, 'We've lost the south for a generation.' He was right about the loss, but he underestimated. It wasn't just one generation, it was many generations. It's clearly had tremendous adverse consequences. But that's true in politics generally. Sometimes doing the right thing is costly. And you have to do the right thing notwithstanding what the political cost might be."
Sen. Angus King was a college student when Kennedy died. He says Kennedy proved to be the indispensable man with his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
"He had some qualities that weren't really qualities. But I'll tell ya, you think about and read about the Cuban missile crisis... Man, am I glad he was there. His real contribution was just taking a deep breath and saying 'Let's keep working on this until we come up with another option.' And in fact that's what happened in Syria. I kept saying and other people kept saying 'aren't there other options between nothing and missiles? ' And it turns out there was."
Sen. Mitchell says JFK's election was a breakthrough.
"I thought it was great thing for the country that John F. Kennedy put to rest the notion that a Catholic couldn't be elected president of the United States. And it's interesting to look back before the election, it seemed impossible. After he was elected most people said, 'what was that all about? what was the big deal?' I think in a certain sense perhaps even a more dramatic sense, President Obama's election made the same point many years later."
And Mitchell thinks history will continue to judge Kennedy kindly.
"As we've learned in the years since, he was human, he had his faults, he made mistakes, we all do. But I think he brought to the office an energy and innovation and a spirit that lifted the spirits of Americans and enabled us to move forward in what I think was a positive way."


text: "Let's get this straight. We're debating between a big-spending, debt-ceiling-raising fiscal liberal, the moon-colony guy, a moderate from Massachusetts, or a Texan with a real plan to balance the budget. Get with it, people. Only one candidate will stand up for Texas. Ron Paul isn't playing games. Five federal bureaucracies gone. A trillion dollars cut year one. Get Washington off your back. Ron Paul. Big, bold Texan."

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to use IM862 to treat Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in AIDS patients.
Sarcoma, Kaposi
HIV Infections
Drug: IM862
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety Study
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase III Randomized Placebo Controlled and Double Blinded Study of IM862 for Patients With Muco-Cutaneous AIDS Associated Kaposi's Sarcoma
|Estimated Enrollment:
Patients are stratified by CD4 count, viral load, and prior systemic chemotherapy. Patients are randomized equally to receive either IM862 or placebo given intranasally every other day. Patients are seen every 4 weeks for 6 months or until disease progression to evaluate toxicity and efficacy. Quality of life is assessed before treatment, then every month for 6 months. At the end of the 6-month study evaluation period, patients with PR/CR (responders) remain on study and continue blinded treatment for an additional 6 months. For patients with stable disease (non-responders), the treatment assignment is unblinded and off-study IM862 compassionate use is offered for 6 months, regardless of treatment group. For patients with documented progressive disease (treatment failure), the treatment assignment is unblinded and off-study IM862 is offered for 6 months to any patient in the placebo group. For treatment failures in the IM862 group, IM862 is stopped and the patient is allowed other therapy options.

I have a Coleman Exponent Cookset which consists of two pots but only one lid. This is really annoying as the lid is sized to fit the larger pot but I only ever use the smaller pot. So, I made my own lid from 1mm aluminium sheet with some smple metal bashing. Result!
You are a much better metal basher than me. That lid looks great.
Yeah, that is some mighty fine bashing. Must've used an iRock. When the page first loaded on my phone, I was waiting for a second picture to load because I thought the picture was of the original lid and that there would be a second one of a crudely bashed one.Awesome work!
Bashing?! You are being overly humble...
That's a beautiful lid. You can sell 'em!
What did you use as you pot lid lifter?
So how did you form the lip?
Stuart,+1 on what everyone else said!But don't leave us hanging ... ya gotta tell us about yer bashing technique.
I suspect the pot lid handle is a left-over valve (handle).Yeah - was it pressed, spun or brutally hammered?Cheers
I used a scrap piece of 1/4" aluminium to create a sort of template - it has a curve at the radius to form the lip of the lid.The 1mm aluminium sheet was attached to the template by a screw thru the centre, so it could be rotated about the template. Then the lid + template were clamped to the bench and the lip formed by gently hitting with a small lump hammer against a blunt cold chisel. The best technique to avoid warping the lid is to go around the circumference several times, each time making the lip just a little deeper. A vise was used to square off the lip edge and finally excess material was filed off the edge.Roger is right about the handle - it was left over from an early stove project.
Thanks for the "howto". Very clever.

no offense but, the only way this would be true is if the person looking doesnt have the experience and knowledge to understand what they are looking at.
This is completely untrue. I know a good bit about Canine body language, and it takes more than a stiff body and raised hairs to tell what the dog is going trough. When the ears are cropped, especially the crop job that looks like little nubs of the ear is left, you cannot read the dogs ear signals. The ears are also unnaturally positioned upwards, and that is how they stay because of how the cartilage heals.
This post is proof you clearly dont have experience working with or reading dogs that are cropped and/or docked. One of our dogs has a show crop, the other has nubs for ears, and I can without question read their body language, and facial expressions with ease. Couda and Piggie move their ears the same way every other dog does, they can pin them back, prick them up, leave them relaxed, etc etc. Just because they are shaped differently, doesnt mean they don't do the same things. This also applies to docked tails.
p.s. there is nothing unnatural about ears standing up, there are numerous breeds whos natural ears stand straight up by standard, and there are plenty of dogs including pit bulls whos natural ears stand straight up by default.
I have never seen a Pit bull of any breed with naturally straight up in the air ears. There are breeds who's ears are by natural upright, GSD for example. I still don't think it is a good thing to do. If you do it so, thats you, but I myself will not. For reasons stated above.

The Trouble With Neutrality
September 14, 2011
A World on Fire: Britain's Crucial Role in the American Civil War By Amanda Foreman (Random House, 958 pp., $35) The world's biggest superpower has a problem. The citizens of a nation overseas have risen up against their tyrannical rulers, determined to claim liberty even if it takes a civil war. As the most powerful global advocate of freedom, the superpower has to admire the rebels' cause. Should it help them? Humanitarians argue that intervention can prevent hundreds of thousands of civilians from suffering hideous state-sponsored subjugation.

Residents of a neighborhood on the citys northeast side expressed uneasiness after hearing about a drive-by shooting that occurred early Monday.
Robert C. Hunt III, 24, of 3686 Flanders Road, Three Mile Bay, was shot shortly before 1 a.m. while sitting in his parked vehicle in the 1300 block of Ohio Street, city police said.
Police said someone fired shots from a moving car heading east on Ohio Street shortly before 1 a.m. The car sped from the scene, turning right onto Colorado Avenue, police said.
Mr. Hunt was flown to a Syracuse hospital, where he was stable Monday morning, according to a news release. Attempts to get an updated condition report Monday evening were unsuccessful.
Detective Sgt. Joseph R. Donoghue declined to release any details about the shooting. He would not say whether police had any suspects.
A woman who lives in a house near the shooting declined to comment, referring questions to police.
A couple who lives nearby heard four shots in rapid succession, said the man, who declined to give his name for fear of retaliation.
He went on to say that his wife heard someone say, Ive been shot. Ive been shot.
Within four minutes, police cars arrived at the scene and blocked off the intersection from all four directions. Ten to 12 patrol cars showed up in the neighborhood, along with a city of Watertown Fire Department rescue vehicle, the man said.
Describing the corner as a trouble spot, the man also said that he has seen vehicles stop there on several previous occasions, with people getting out and making a quick exchange before driving away.
You know whats happening, but Im not going to say, the resident said.
A handful of other neighbors also said they were too scared to talk about what happened. They heard shots and went outside to see what was going on.
I almost fell out of my bed, said a woman who has lived in the neighborhood for decades. Its a little nerve-wracking.
She said she and her daughter plan to keep their doors locked during the day.
Lets just say it shook up a lot of people, the daughter said.
Robert F. Beimel, who has lived on Colorado Avenue since 1999, described the neighborhood as usually quiet, so when he was told about the shooting, it surprised him.
I had the AC on, he said. I slept right through it.
Police had their hands full on Sunday. Five hours earlier, a State Street man was stabbed to death in a J.B. Wise Place apartment.

Updated: Looks like the majority was right! Nashville debuted to a 2.8, while Chicago Fire earned a 1.9.
Tonight, two freshmen dramas will make their debut: One about a pair of dueling country superstars who want to rule the music scene, and the other about a bunch of firefighters with interpersonal issues. Nashville certainly has the edge as far as early reviews are concerned, but as we've seen with The Neighbors, reviews don't always matter, and fans of Law & Order might want to check out Chicago Fire based only on Dick Wolf's involvement.
So who gets your vote for the 10PM champ? Will you be checking out either of these new shows? Cast your vote and tell us why in the comments!

A popular Central Florida restaurant is pleading for the return one of its prized attractions, a goat named "Elvis."
The goat was part of a small farm outside the Red Wing restaurant in Groveland. He was a popular attraction for kids.
But now he is missing and believed to have been stolen.
The restaurant keeps about 100 animals on the property.
The 6-month old goat disappeared on Monday, but there are no clues as to what happened to him.
The restaurant owner, Patrick Borsey, did not have any surveillance cameras, so for now he's just hoping someone who knows what happened will contact him.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The LePage administration is set to release its first report card on Maine's schools, and school leaders in Maine are angry with the chosen metrics.
Each school in the state - with a few exceptions - will get a grade from A to F. Those grades are based on standardized test scores and performance improvement. The Maine School Management Association says that criteria is insufficient as a basis for grading.
Schools that serve students in grades 3-8 will be scored based on the percentage of students rated proficient in math and reading; the percentage of students whose scores show growth in math and reading; and the growth in scores for the bottom 25% of students in math and reading.
At the high school level, the scores are based on math and reading proficiency in grade 11; math and reading progress for all students - comparing the most recent three-year average of scores to the previous three years; and four and five year graduation rates.
"When you have a model like this, it gives people a quick snapshot," explains Department of Education commissioner Stephen Bowen in defense of the plan, "It doesn't give a complete picture of a school, but it gives parents a sense of where they are, to ask these questions, go to school board meetings and to get involved to see what they can do to move schools forward."
But leaders of the Maine School Management Association are incensed by the criteria. They say schools are rated on too few metrics, and that the data do not paint an accurate picture.
"The benchmark is very narrow in what it assesses," says Connie Brown from the MSMA, "There are other things that are so important, like the arts and music and a school's culture. It doesn't look at science or writing... it just looks at two narrow things."
Portland's superintendent is also critical of the grades, saying they are simplistic and an inaccurate measure.
Commissioner Bowen says he'd like to add more to the system in the future, but the State wanted to start simple with data the districts already have.

I have been doing web developmwnt for 3 years in php/joomla/jquery/mysql. I am now learning python/django/sysadmin/j2ee just to expand my knowledge.
I am 28 and I can find jobs, but I was thinking if I go beyond 40 or 45 then there is every chance that companies will look for younger people, because you can always find young people with similar skills if not experience.
So I was thinking, do I need to keep the same role as a web developer or do I need to seek a career path where age does not matter and experience is the key.
I have a relative who worked for 15 years as a programmer, and is now 38. He became the recruiter for an agency which provides IT candidates to other companies. I think that sort of position is not linked to age. I may be wrong.
The other option I was thinking of is to keep in mind that by the time I get to 40 or above, I should have enough links with clients so that I can get enough freelance work to make my living. Because then I don't have to be at the mercy of jobs, and age won't matter.
So I just want to know: as programmer what is the future after 40 or 50?
Because if we have that kind of goal, we need at least 10-15 years to get to that point.

UHP troopers surround the BMW after the chase ended in the Price Coves neighborhood.
A car chase that was abandoned at the north end of Carbon County Sunday afternoon resumed south of the county about 90 minutes later. It ended in north Price, but only after the car's driver had first demonstrated that a BMW 328i can reach and maintain 70 mph on one tire and three rims.
The chase started at 4:30 p.m. when the westbound white BMW was spotted on Highway 6 going up Price Canyon at high speed. Highway Patrol Trooper Bradley Shaw pursued the car, but terminated the chase before the Emma Park junction because of the danger that was being posed by the speed of the vehicle.
Shaw said the driver, identified as 34-year-old Jamie Wissmar of Price, then took SR 96 to Scofield, then SR 264 to SR 31 and down Huntington Canyon - the Energy Loop Scenic Byway.
At 6 p.m. the Highway Patrol spotted her driving north on Highway 10 near the Huntington airport. Troopers spiked her tires just north of Stake Farm Road in southern Carbon County. The BMW continued up the road with three blown out tires. It continued to speed, reaching 70 mph even after the tires were spiked.
The car came into Price and drove up Carbon Avenue, eventually ending up at Hillcrest Drive. There it pulled into a driveway and stopped. Wissmar was arrested and taken to the Emery County Jail.
Officers from the Utah Highway Patrol, Price City and the Carbon County Sheriff's Office were all involved in the pursuit and subsequent final stop.
