Major Japanese Coal Buyers Set to Meet International Coal Producers at the Coaltrans East Asia Networking Forum PR Newswire LONDON, July 25, 2013 LONDON, July 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- *What are Japan and South Korea's coal demands? *What is the outlook for further development of coal fired power plants in the near future? *Where are the real business opportunities? Above are just some of the questions that will be posed at the inaugural Coaltrans East Asia Networking Forum in Tokyo on 25 - 26 September 2013. Currently just two of Japan's fifty nuclear reactors are in operation. However, in light of the new safety regulations that were introduced earlier this month, it is possible that at least twelve more reactors are likely to be restarted in the near future. "Coal fired power plants are currently running at maximum capacity to provide the base load for Japan. The restarting of a number of nuclear reactors raises the question of how the country expects to meet its power demand requirements moving forward," said Louisa Pratt, Conference Manager, Coaltrans Conferences Ltd. Keynote presentations from Akira Yasui, Director, Coal Division, Agency for Natural Resources and Energy at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Government of Japan and Kentaro Doi, Director of Low-Carbon Society Promotion Office at the Global Environment Bureau, Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan on the morning of Day One will deliver an overview of the Government's current energy policy and how they intend to develop it moving forward. Recent confirmation of participation from the following thermal and metallurgical coal buyers, Chubu Electric Power Co., Ltd, Hokkaido Electric Power Company, Hokuriku Electric Power Company, Hyundai Steel, J-Power, Kansai Electric Power Company, Kobe Steel, Ltd, Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metals and Nisshin Steel Corporation, will join the producers and traders with the key decision makers shaping the quantities and qualities of coal imported into Japan and Korea.

Three Socorro City Council members and a police sergeant are the targets of the Sheriff's Office investigation into financial irregularities in Socorro, a court document shows.
An affidavit in support of a search warrant outlines what the investigation focuses on. The document said the investigation centers on reimbursements that the four sought from the city.
The affidavit names council members Jesse Gandara Jr., Mary Garcia and Guillermo "Willie" Madrid, and police Sgt. Refugio Orta. According to the document Garcia, Gandara and Orta sought airfare reimbursement for a trip to Austin last year.
The affidavit said officials were given information that Gandara and Orta drove there and back and did not fly. It also says that Garcia flew there but returned with Gandara and Orta in a city-owned car.
The affidavit said Gandara and Orta were reimbursed $738 each for airfare and other expenses for the trip. Gandara returned $375. Orta returned $525.
The affidavit said that on June 6, 2011, Gandara paid a restaurant $15 using a city credit card and he later got the same amount back from the petty cash fund.
The document said Madrid received a reimbursement for $97.30 for items he purchased at an Office Depot, apparently using a city-owned debit card. The document also says Madrid received a reimbursement of $88.45 for a plaque that he paid for with city discretionary funds.
Garcia, who was reimbursed $708, did not return any of the money, the affidavit said.
The accusations are false, Garcia said in a written statement.
"I am convinced when the complete story is reported, you will find out my actions are always in the best interest of my constituents and the City of Socorro," she said.
Garcia called the investigation "a political smear campaign" and that she was ashamed to see the story in the El Paso Times.
Gandara also released a statement in Spanish saying that what occurred Monday is "not big or a real investigation."
He said it is an attack from Mayor Trinidad "Trini" Lopez, city Rep. Maria Reyes and their supporters.
"It's a fight between the old and new members of the family," Gandara said in the statement. "The old members don't speak more than one language, don't know how to use a computer or the modern technology to do their job."
Lopez, Reyes and their supporters are frustrated because the rest of the council do not listen to them and the only thing they do is threaten the rest of the council by calling the police, Gandara said.
Reyes said the people of Socorro deserve transparency and the council is not providing it.
"The idea here is not control, but to represent the citizens of Socorro, openly and honestly," Reyes said in a text message. "If he hasn't done anything wrong, why does he feel threatened?"
The search warrant at the city's administration building on Monday was executed after Reyes filed the formal complaint against Gandara, Garcia, Madrid and Orta on misuse of public funds. Another warrant was issued to search Gandara's home to look for a laptop, according to the court document.
Lopez told investigators Gandara had the laptop and that he works and conducts city business from his home, the affidavit said.
Investigators raided the city's administration building looking for computers, electronic storage devices, and copies of travel vouchers, policies on how to spend city money, fuel expenditures and other financial records from the last seven years for Gandara, Orta, Garcia and Madrid. Gandara was first elected in 2004 and has served three terms in the council. Garcia and Madrid took office in 2010 and Orta was hired in 2004.
In addition, investigators acquired records for a log book for a city car and got Gandara's laptop. The laptop was paid for with city money, but it was unknown if it was for city or personal use, according to the court document.
The sheriff's investigation is ongoing and it is unknown when it will be completed.
Chris Acosta, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office, said investigators seized "an abundance of documents" Monday.
"Investigations of such can sometimes take weeks, even months," she said.

If you love chocolate, peanuts, caramel and ice cream, this is definitely the cake for you! It is very simple to make, as once you have your sauces and no-churn ice-cream prepared, it's just a matter of assembly. Allow enough time for it to freeze properly before serving. If you can't find peanut butter ice cream in the shops, then it really is worth making your own and isn't as tricky as you may think. (Recipe from Sharon Hearne Smith's, No Bake Baking available on amazon.)
Serves 12–14
250ml Salted Caramel Sauce
250ml Chocolate Sauce
1.5 litres Peanut Butter Ice-Cream
Sunflower oil, for the tin
12 x 58g Snickers bars
15 toffee waffle biscuits
Remove the ice cream from the freezer and leave to soften until spreadable but not completely thawed. Oil the cake tin and line the sides with parchment paper. Cut the Snickers bars into 5mm-thick slices and roughly chop the waffle biscuits into small bite-sized pieces.
Scatter a third of the waffle pieces in a single layer in the bottom of the tin. Spoon a third of the ice cream on top and spread evenly. Scatter on a third of the Snickers pieces in a single layer. Drizzle with a third of each of the caramel and chocolate sauces. Repeat these layers again, using the same quantities of everything. Then scatter with the remaining waffle pieces and finish with the remaining ice cream, smoothing the top. You should have a third each of Snickers pieces and caramel and chocolate sauces left for serving. Cover with cling film and freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight until frozen solid.
When ready to serve, remove the cake from the tin and sit it on a cake stand or serving plate. Peel off the parchment paper and leave for 15–20 minutes to soften a little. Then, to decorate, arrange the remaining Snickers pieces on top and spoon over the caramel and chocolate sauces so they just dribble down the edges. To serve, cut into 12–14 wedges, which is best done with a long sharp knife, dipped in boiling water and wiped dry between each cut.
Leftover ice-cream cake should be frozen straight away. Wrap individual portions in parchment paper and seal in a food bag. These will keep happily in the freezer for up to a few months.

LOWER CONCHO RIVER WATER AND SOIL CONSERVATION AUTHORITY. The Lower Concho River Water and Soil Conservation Authority was established in 1939 by the Forty-sixth Legislature and covers only Concho County. The district is not authorized to levy or collect taxes or assessments payable out of taxes or assessments or in any other way to pledge the credit of the state. The act authorized the governor to appoint a nine-man board of directors, two members of which were to reside within each of the four commissioners' precincts in Concho County, and one director at large. Three directors were to be appointed every two years, and each was to serve a six-year term.
This authority has been diligent in its endeavor to cooperate with other authorities to promote the conservation of soil and water, but it has not seen fit to attempt to construct a major dam itself due to the fact that the cost would be too great for the needs of the smaller towns in the county. However, this authority has cooperated with the Upper Colorado River Authority in efforts to build a major dam just a few miles below the mouth of the Concho River on the Colorado River.
The Lower Concho Authority has the power to develop and generate water power and electric energy within the boundaries of the district and to distribute and sell water power and electric energy within and outside the district, but such use must be subordinate to all requirements for domestic, municipal, and irrigation purposes. It also has the power to provide by adequate organization and administration for the preservation of the equitable rights of the people of the different sections of the watershed in the beneficial use of storm, flood, and unappropriated waters of the Concho and Colorado rivers.

The digital marketing landscape has evolved tremendously over the last two years. Google has introduced the Panda and Penguin updates, and social media content distribution and sharing has become its own niche industry. This evolution has pushed inbound marketing to the forefront of the digital marketing conversation.
Being successful using inbound as a strategy requires lots of content. Many companies and agencies are beginning to realize this, and they're scrambling to find ways to produce great inbound content that maximizes traffic and conversions from search, social and other referring channels.
It's not easy to produce valuable problem solving or entertaining content consistently. The Internet marketing industry as a whole struggles to employ the proper mix of content marketing personae to balance and optimize quality writing with cost effectiveness and results. Below are the five content marketing personae and some of their attributes.
Recommended for YouWebcast: Sales and Marketing Alignment: 7 Steps To Implement Effective Sales Enablement
*The lower the number the better
1. Employees – As content producers, a brand's employees are knowledgeable and cost-effective. These folks are brand experts and tend to work on the front lines of an industry, so their content is very prudent. Good inbound campaigns always leverage this persona.
2. Ghost Writers – Employing ghost writers or ghost writing services has both major advantages and drawbacks. One advantage is that their services allow brands to consistently publish content. Their blog posts should act as filler content while the other personae are still writing.
However, ghost writers typically lack passion, expertise and advocacy, which cause their scores to be less appealing than the other personae.
3. Brand Advocates (Fanatics) – This is a powerful persona to leverage in a content marketing campaign. Brand advocates are motivated by their love for a brand and like to sing a brand's praises on social channels. Encouraging them to contribute will keep your pipeline full of passion-filled content.
4. Experts – These are the people who are considered authorities and thought leaders in an industry. Experts typically have huge followings and write expert content consistently, and their influence on an industry is well-known. Contributions from experts position a brand well while exposing it to a very large audience.
5. Professional Copywriters – Having this persona contributing to a campaign definitely has an upside. However, they tend to be the least cost-effective of all the personae. While they are technically and tactically proficient, their writing typically lacks the passion of an employee, brand advocate or expert.
There's no secret formula for leveraging the different content marketing personae. But to develop publishing capacity, frequency and consistency, an appropriate mix of the five personae is required and should evolve over time. Relying on just one of the personae will probably lead to less than desirable inbound outcomes.
New campaigns should consider employing ghost writers and professional copywriters as a start. Also, recruit as many employees as possible with the intent of nurturing future industry experts from within. Concurrently, develop outreach programs for brand advocates and experts. As the campaign grows and matures, reliance on professional copywriters and ghost writers will begin to wane.

counts. For a few weeks later, it happened again. But by that time I had far
fewer moral scruples about going upstairs again and saying to V., . . .
Same old thing. Well have to do it again. And we did
too, and that man died as well.

filled in something on the deceaseds cards. Pneumonia ... anything you

So you don't like "music video editing" or musicals is what you're saying.
That is fine, but if you don't eat meat you can't be expected to judge the flavor of a steak fairly. Nor should I take your opinion on the topic as having any value.
For my part, it is absolutely one of my favorite films. I can appreciate that it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I personally have a weakness for slick editing, art direction and "right in the feels" writing though.

Video 1 (posted above)
Glendale Police are at it again. At about 1030 at night i was riding my bike and rode past a dui and license checkpoint. I decide to stop and take a photo of the checkpoint. Not wanting to go through the checkpoint, I continued walking past it. As I started to get back on my bike I noticed the Glendale Police had someone detained on the curb. I walked passed the ōinvestigationö and after about 30 feet of clearance, since I already had my phone out, I turned around to take a quick photo (no flash). In the process of me taking a photo I noticed one of the officers coming towards me so i switched to video(no flash) and slowly walked away.
Officer BOLTON asked me can i help you?, I gave no answer because I was already walking away, and I obviously didnÆt need any help. He then told me I was interrupting his investigation, and i needed to go about 1/4 of a mile away in order for him to not be distracted, or I was going to be arrested for not complying. I started walking away, he acknowledged that, turned around and started walking back to his his partner (whom HE abandoned). As he was walking back their suspect took off, because of his stupidity and ignorance.
Video 2 (posted below)
After going to the corner, I continued to film everything that was taking place. I was here for about 10 minutes when I noticed one of the officers that had the guy detained walk up to me. I stayed where I was doing nothing wrong. He then came up to me and told me to ōsit on the curb you are being detainedö;, me being a free citizen who had done nothing wrong I told him ōno i had done nothing wrong.ö
He then started getting physical and told me to put my arms behind my back, I asked what crime did i commit, and he told me ;I am under investigation I said for what, he then replied and said well thatÆs what weÆre are trying to figure out. Last time I checked you are innocent until proven guilty, but in this case I was guilty until proven innocent. After resisting being detained he eventually got handcuffs on me. I was still standing and he had told me to sit on the curb, Angered by this whole situation I did not sit when he told me. So with all his body weight, he pulled me by the chain of the handcuffs to the ground where I then hit my head and fell right on the cuffs which caused them to squeeze my wrist.
Still confused about why I was being treated like this, they sat me down for about 15 minutes when officer Bolton showed up spitting on the ground in front of me, being Extremely rude. They accused me of knowing the guy because I looked at him when i walked by and we made eye contact. Does that make sense? First of all, does everyone who walks buy someone being arrested or detained automatically know them? Second, If you thought i knew him then why didnÆt you ask me that when we first made contact, and why did you let me go? After me not talking, and them threatening (bluffing) to take me to jail numerous times, even after I still didnÆt talk. They let me go, Scott free, telling me to have a nice night, after abusing me like an animal or some criminal. I went to the hospital to find out I had a sprained wrist.
I dont know why cops feel they are some divine soldiers of god, where they can just go around doing what they please. Some may argue I should of just minded my own business in the first place, but after being abused by these cops numerous times I like to LEGALLY get as much documentation as possible, when I can. I didnÆt yell out pigs!, I simply Stood at a distance and wanted to take a quick picture. I also donÆt know what the guy was detained for.
Why are cops so afraid of a camera?

Yes, but one would have to cut alot of mats to justify the price of a dedicated mat cutter of ANY brand. I am NOT saying that the Logan cutter isn't great, or that the price isn't fair. Nor am I criticizing or demeaning any here who actually enjoy cutting their own mats, and find the effort rewarding. Please, my comments are not posted to be arbitrary or unpleasant in any way.
Thus, I am asking that if one regularly prints to/on a given size paper and uses an overmat with the same borders all of the time, then purchasing pre cut mats can be a great savings of time. Obviously one does give up the ability to customize the mats and windows according to the size of the print-IF one varies the size of the print.
So....once again, seriously asked without ANY rancor and meant as a question: What IS the advantage of cutting one's own mats and over mats if one always prints on the same sized paper and uses over mats with windows of the same size?

Burpee Exclusive
Customer Favorite!
Out of a dream and into your garden—a vision of deep, satisfying colors. Thick leaves are extravagantly splashed with both dark and neon tones. This tall (4-5'), rugged annual is drought tolerant. Grows best in full sun but will still perform well in light shade. One customer commented that Fantasy "Beats coleus hollow", which I believe is a strong endorsement.

- thapsigargin prodrug G-202
A soluble, thapsigargin prodrug containing the cytotoxic analog of thapsigargin, 8-O-(12Aminododecanoyl)-8-O debutanoylthapsigargin (12-ADT) linked, via a carboxyl group, to the targeting peptide containing aspartic acid with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intravenous administration, the non-toxic prodrug targets prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a type II membrane carboxypeptidase, which is overexpressed in prostate cancer cells and in the neovasculature of most solid tumors but not in normal blood vessels. G-202 is subsequently converted, through hydrolysis, into the active cytotoxic analog of thapsigargin 12-ADT-Asp. 12-ADT binds to and blocks the Sarcoplasmic/Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase (SERCA) pump, thereby increasing the concentration of cytosolic calcium which leads to an induction of apoptosis. By preventing nutrient supply to tumor cells, G-202 may be able to inhibit tumor growth. Compared to thapsigargin alone, thapsigargin prodrug G-202 is able to achieve higher concentrations of the active agents at the tumor site while avoiding systemic toxicity. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

Bees are sweet for this hotelComment on this story
An iconic hotel in the heart of midtown Manhattan is buzzing with thousands of tiny new visitors. But watch out: They'll sting if you get too close.
Honeybees have taken up residence at the Waldorf-Astoria New York, one of New York City's most famous institutions and a favourite stopover for many US presidents. The hotel plans to harvest its own honey and help pollinate plants in the skyscraper-heavy heart of the city, joining a mini beekeeping boom that has taken over hotel rooftops from Paris to Times Square.
"Today about half the population of each hive, the foragers, are flying mostly in the direction of Central Park," explained Andrew Cote, the Waldorf's beekeeper-in-residence, on a recent sunny afternoon as he inspected each hive. "They're plucking up pollen, nectar, water. They're bringing it back to their hives, to their homes."
Beekeeping is a natural fit for hotels trying to keep up with industry-wide pressure to "go green," whether it's retrofitting their buildings to make them energy efficient or simply adopting environmentally conscious practices. Enter urban beekeeping, a buzz-worthy pastime nowadays in light of the mysterious disappearance of honeybees in recent years, which led some state agriculture departments to encourage hobby beekeeping.
About one-third of the nation's diet benefits from honeybee pollination, according to the US Department of Agriculture. In New York City, the bees will help pollinate new trees that have taken root as part of the city's plan to plant 1 million trees over the next decade.
"In terms of sustainability, it's not only giving back to the environment," said Andrew Gajary, general manager of the Intercontinental New York Times Square, which recently installed its first beehive, following in the footsteps of its counterpart in Boston, where a colony of bees has been growing for the past year. "I'm no longer having to go out and get packaged honey from hundreds of miles away."
Bee fever has even infected hotels beyond American shores. In Paris, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel set up its first hive this year and plans to hand out little honey pots as gifts for guests.
At the Waldorf, the insects are visible from certain rooms, and guests can sign up for tours of the hives - although they may want to put on a bee suit first.
"I don't know how many times I was stung today, but I probably deserved each and every one and more," Cote joked as he carefully lifted a bee-encrusted honeycomb out of a hive.
Cote is something of a celebrity in the beekeeping world, having waged a successful campaign against the city's ban on keeping bees, which was lifted in 2010. He sells jars of honey at green markets throughout the city, tends hundreds of hives from Connecticut to Manhattan and founded the nonprofit Bees Without Borders and the New York City Beekeepers Association.
On the Waldorf's roof, he was checking the hives for a healthy queen and for any signs of disease or swarm intentions. After lifting the wooden cover from each hive, Cote immediately doused it with smoke.
"The smoke makes the bees a bit more docile," he said. "It calms them a bit. It also distracts them."
In keeping with the Waldorf's posh reputation, the bees arrived in a luxury car in April and were escorted through the lobby to their new home on the 20th floor roof deck. There are six hives in total; the most mature one already has 20,000 bees and counting.
The Waldorf's first batch of honey is expected be ready for harvest by early summer.
"Honey's such a versatile ingredient that we can use it anywhere," said David Garcelon, the Waldorf's executive chef, who has been experimenting with new honey-infused recipes.
There should be plenty of honey to go around. If all goes well, there could be as many as 300,000 bees camping out at the Waldorf this summer.
Cote couldn't resist sampling some of the honey before finishing up his hive inspections. The prognosis?
"Nectar of the gods," he said. - Sapa-AP

Session Guitar: Spanish Hassle Magic — a Typical Day in the Studio
Session Guitar: Spanish Hassle Magic — a Typical Day in the Studio
Related Content
Greetings! Here's a story about a session that took place a week or two ago.
We all strive to play our best. In my particular line of studio work, I am called upon to improvise in many styles daily; sometimes many styles in the same song. This particular song was going to be trouble. I knew it. The engineer who sent it to me knew it, and the artist had suspicions. Here's how it went down.
I had done one session for the artist previously. He liked what I had played and asked me to do another. That's what it's all about: repeat business! Anyway, my buddy Tim Conklin, engineer extraordinaire, sent me a file of the song. The arrangement was, shall we say, a bit strange. I did a basic mix and the song was recorded using mainly midi instruments.
It was a Latin song. The song also modulated several times. Four, to be exact. And there were no tempo or cues to come in when the music stopped, only vocals sung to a midi guitar played what seemed to be freestyle. Ever hear classical guitar played on keyboards? Not always good. This wasn't bad, but you would have to play everything on a Spanish guitar above the 15th fret!
Now, like I said, the arrangement also left something to be desired. Sounded like a "head" arrangement. Not much thought. Convoluted. OK, it sucked. Which is why I had a hard time knowing what to play! I called the artist and asked for a chord chart and to discuss what I thought the song needed. I was honest and he agreed. This arrangement needed help. I had free reign. He would get me whatever charts were possible to save time, and I would take care of the rest. I normally can write my own charts, but this was all over the place. I knew I could get a better clue by seeing anything in a musical way on paper.
A few days later, the charts arrived. A full basic chord chart, and the guitar part, note for note! All 12 pages of it. With guitar fills on every measure on every page! Too much on the ear. Oh yeah, the song was five-plus minutes long! But the charts helped.
I kept the first-verse guitar parts because they were very melodic and musically sound. I played them an octave down from where they were on a classical guitar. I also kept the parts from the rubato breakdown later in the song. The rest were cut. I was going to add fills sparingly and see what else I could do to fix the arrangement later. I added Spanish rhythm guitar throughout and a clean electric rhythm.
The song had zero dynamics, so I kept it building throughout. I decided it would be better to play piano on verse two, so I added some piano fills to that verse. Strings were brought in on verse three with more classical guitar fills and accordion. (All samples played by moi.) Then it was the breakdown. I had to watch the screen to know when to come in and out to match the midi guitar during the rubato section.
Then it was time for the ending. The last section had another stop with a big vocal note held at the end. I took a chance and decided to play what can only be described as a metal solo! However, it went on and on and even I was losing interest! If the guitarist is losing interest, then how is the listener going to feel? I cut the section to a manageable 16 bars and ended it. Much better. I could be creative and concise. I added stereo heavy guitars to beef up the end. Throw in some "Santana meets Steve Vai" licks and call it a day. ON THE GUITAR at least. Upon further listening, I decided to redo the drums, the bass, rhodes and percussion! All completed in about five to six hours. Put it in the Dropbox and off it went as an OMF file so it could be opened in any software.
A quick note to those asking to hear these sessions: Anyone who knows anything about session work knows you rarely get the finished product handed to you, and by the time it's out, I've forgotten and moved on. Also, in this situation I would not "out" someone who may have had a bad day and normally would do a great job. This track did get handed back to the original producer and he was happy. I bet he was relieved!
Now let's recap and see what I needed to do this.
Spanish guitar chops and familiarity with Luis Miguel's music, because that is the sound the artist desired. I also had to have rock chops like 'Vai meets Santana." Both totally different, but if you chose the melodic style of each, it works! Not the flash of Vai. That would be inappropriate. I also had to be able to sight read in many keys and transpose on the fly or rewrite the charts. Jazz chords too. And because I could play some piano and have a full midi rig from hell, I could go over the top and redo a complete arrangement. And believe it or not, this was a typical day!
Till next time…
Ron Zabrocki on Ron Zabrocki: I'm a session guitarist from New York, now living in Connecticut. I started playing at age 6, sight reading right off the bat. That's how I was taught, so I just believed everyone started that way! I could pretty much sight read anything within a few years, and that aided me in becoming a session guy later in life. I took lessons from anyone I could and was fortunate enough to have some wonderful instructors, including John Scofield, Joe Pass and Alan DeMausse. I've played many jingle sessions, and even now I not only play them but have written a few. I've "ghosted" for a few people that shall remain nameless, but they get the credit and I got the money! I've played sessions in every style, from pop to jazz.

Great post, Ron. :)

Hey Ron,
Its incredible to see the amount of skill required to operate as a successful session musician. Truly, I am impressed. Would it maybe be possible to hear the song you talk about above, so that we could hear the final product, or at least the product you delivered?
Thanks for all the great blog updates, I always look forward to reading them.
April 23, 2013 at 8:08am
Thanks! I will try to find out the status of the above song. I know the music was initially done with a band but 2 ballads were done by the producer only...one of which I received. Vocals were then done in another studio for the whole project and now the songs are being mixed somewhere else! I am not a fan of this but people these days feel the need for specialists! I am certain it will then go to a mastering place for that...it could be months! This is why I just go from situation to situation. One game at a time!
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Will do my best!

Ola Mi Amigo! Just started following your God Blogs. Berry Nice.
I would have ordered some Tequila, ate the worm (is that a time signature? - 8 the worm?), and called in someone else.
Nice work.
How about a BLOG on Midi Guitar (since you mentioned MIDI in this Blog).
Till next time.....
April 22, 2013 at 4:13pm
Thanks for reading and commenting! Here's the problem with MIDI guitar...delay....they do not track properly. I will be doing extensive blogging on the line 6 variax jtv-89! I LOVE THEM! Way better than Midi! Check them out!
I think 8/Worm is a time signature in Cabo!

This works so well. It's very lightweight, gentle, effective (but not quite as effective as an oil based remover) and leaves no resdiue at all. But the price! I've been using it for a week and the bottle is 1/4 gone. Would repurchase if it were half the price or had more product. Otherwise, it's great, highly recommended.

I can't believe I have not tried this before! Until recently, I was using L'oreal gentle eye m/u remover. While that was cheap, I went through several bottles of those very quickly as I find that I needed to soak up my cotton pad with a fair bit of the remover in order to remover my eye makeup effortlessly.
I have been very into MUFE lately and when the SA recommended this to me I thought why not ? In my country, the price for MUFE products are quite jacked up so I paid about 29usd for it (after conversion) as opposed to 23usd at Sephora. Also, I have very very sensitive eyes and they are so sensitive to the point that even extra virgin olive oil stings my eyes so badly.
Since my eyes are so sensitive, I was abit worried but to my surprise this product was very gentle on my eyes. But I do admit that if it seeps into my eyes, it does 'sting' a little but having said that its nothing serious because it goes away after about 1-2 minutes. I also find that this product is very economical because I only had to use a small dollop for each eye.
Unlike the instructions, I do not pump the product onto the cotton pad first. I pump a small dollop of the product onto my finger tips and massaged my eye area. This method effectively melts down waterproof mascara, cream eyeshadow, cream liner etc. I then take a dry/damp cotton pad and wipe it away and voila my eyes were left clean and not a trace of makeup left! I think using this method will save you lots of product. I tried using this to remove MUFE's Aqua cream (which is waterproof) and it worked like a charm! I also really like the design of the bottle. It comes in a nice no frills pump bottle and the product itself is a blue colored gel. I will continue to use this and will most definitely repurchase when I run out. :) Another excellent product by MUFE!

This is an amazing product for removing waterproof (or any) makeup. It's gentle, non-irritating, and astoundingly effective. I much prefer this to greasy, liquid eye makeup removers.

I would only buy it again if it was a part of some deal for cheap. Otherwise I am on the search to find a makeup remover that is just as good as this one without breaking the bank. It comes in such a small bottle! Plus I had to heat a bowl of water to put the bottle in so I could liquify the remains and put in a jar where I can use the last quarter of it. It works perfectly when I want to take off waterproof makeup. I am on the hunt for a remover that will be gentle like this remover and take off tough makeup that other removers can not. Unfortunately, for now I will be using this product until then.

This cleanser is effective for removing eye makeup, along with liner, and mascara. It is gentle and non-stinging if caught up in the eye. Cannot detect a smell, but that could be my nose! A quality product.

it has good smells. Not like some other product, you can smell alcohol or other weired smell.
it is pretty genital, at least to most of my friends. But i feel it is bit sting when I apply to my eye.
There is always some makeup remaining on my face.
It only cost $20 something. it is worth to buy,

Mary Karr, in her book "Lit," recounts her mother's adage that "you can never wear too much mascara." I'd tend to agree, except when it's late at night and I'm tired and my eyes are itchy from fatigue or allergies. Too many times I've had to struggle through using gentle, but less-than-effective makeup removers, or getting it off quickly but making my eyes puffy and even more irritated by using purportedly gentle removers that stung like hell. Enter Sens Eyes by Make Up Forever. Sephora had samples for sale and I picked up a wee bottle because what I had at home wasn't doing the trick. This product is astonishing. A small amount on a tissue rapidly and gently takes off the mascara and leaves my skin unannoyed and my eyes don't puff up and turn red. A little product goes a long way and it's an excellent value for the price. This is a rave review, indeed it is.

I loved the idea of this product--creamy, fragrance-free waterproof eye makeup remover--but it did not do a very good job at removing my waterproof eye makeup. The creamy lotion felt nice but I had to really scrub my makeup out and the lotion migrated into my eyes, which clouded up my contacts. My Lancome Bifacil and Mary Kay eye makeup removers worked 10 times better than Sens'Eyes, which is unfortunate because I love Make Up For Ever's products. Can't win thm all, I guess.

- Skip down to 'Final Consensus' for short summary of overall thoughts on product -
What it Claims:
"This mineral oil-free gel removes make-up from eyes and lips and is extremely effective and incredibly gentle. It doesn't leave the eyelids feeling greasy. It instantly removes impurities and even waterproof make-up on the most sensitive eyes and even contact lenses wearers."
Claims - True or False?
1) Removes makeup from eyes and lips: True.
2) Is extremely effective: False.
3) Incredibly gentle: False.
4) Doesn't leave the eyelids feeling greasy: True.
5) Instantly removes impurities and waterproof makeup: False.
This makeup remover comes in a pump bottle with clear plastic packaging. The pump itself is one that can lock, making it excellent for minor traveling or tossing in your gym bag to remove eye makeup pre-workout. I do like the pump as it is quite hygienic, but this design has a minor flaw: It it impossible to get all of the product out of the tube. There is a decent amount of gel left on the sides and the bottom which can somewhat be scraped out, but I think it would be much more effective if they used a different form of pump dispenser that would allow for all the product to be used properly. The packaging itself is very simple, somewhat bland. The plastic does not provide an ingredients list.
I truly despise the smell. It's not overly strong in any way, but it's quite strong when you consider the fact that the label states "fragrance free". I can't really describe the scent, but I'd take a guess and say it's a chemical scent.
I think the only think I really adore about this is the consistency. Regardless of whether it works or not, I love the idea of a gel or lotion in place of a liquid. It is very much like a creamy gel, and with a gorgeous blue colouring. This, however, is something I am not fond of in a product designed for SENSITIVE eyes and skin. Not too thick or thin, can easily be applied directly to the eye area without it dripping everywhere. I would, however, prefer if it had a little bit of an oilier consistency. I found that adding a drop of jojoba oil made it far more effective.
Ease of Use:
Not hard to use, but I found it to be a little difficult to get results when placing the gel directly on a cotton ball. Because it isn't a liquid, I felt that I had to rub my eyes more than I would with a liquid. Instead of applying to the cotton ball, I found it easier to apply directly to my eye area, massage it in and then blot and sweep it away.
Bang for your Buck:
At around $25.00CAD for 3.38oz, it's not cheap, but it's comparable to other pricier brands out there. I can't see it lasting more than 5 months or so with regular use, but I think it's a good alternative to more expensive brands.
Final Consensus:
Recommended to those who dislike liquidy makeup removers, but not recommended for those with sensitive eyes and/or skin. Best for those who wear light and non-waterproof makeup, not ideal for shimmery or thicker applications.
- Pros: nice consistency, easy to use, travel-friendly, not much is needed to remove makeup, does not need to be used to cotton pads.
- Cons: stung the eye area, can dry the skin out, scent is a bit offensive, is a tad pricey, does not remove makeup properly, packaging prevents use of entire product,
Overall Rating: 2/5
Price: 4/5
Packaging Quality: 3/5
Would you buy this product again: No.

To: educators at lists.secondlife.com CB, Well, I was off a couple of decimal places myself, I am quite surprized by the math, one thing still puzzles me, a 400W power supply, does it pull 400 watts all the time it is simply plugged in, or only under a load such as during heavy rendering, while writing to a CD, and running 2 DVD movies on each of 2-monitors simultaneously as you pound on the keyboard and spin your mouse furiously? This factor could put all the calculations off by 1/2 or more. Parriah Char-Lez Braden <komori_san at hotmail.com> wrote: Bruce, Yep. Looks like I missed a zero! Thus why I'm not Mr. math...

Aldon's amount), which makes your calculations off by a power of 10 so rounding to worse case is around $500.00/yr. Bruce Durnell From: komori_san at hotmail.com To: educators at lists.secondlife.com Subject: RE: [SLED] Metaverse is ONE. Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 13:29:39 -0500 Aldon, I think your decimals are off. I'm not Mr. math or Mr. electricity, so someone please check my numbers here. 24 hours in a day. 365 days a year. Therefore 8760 hours a year. Given: 300 watts an hour*. Therefore 262800 watt hours. Most household electricity use is measured in kilowatt hours, not megawatt hours Therefore 262.8 KWH, or .2628 MWH *Apparently the watt rating on your computer is more like a worst case peek load, if that. I don't pretend to understand the efficiency ratings and all that, but I believe we can safely use this number as an upper bound. Also, laptops use significantly less power, and desktop are highly variable themselves depending on make, model and peripherals. So your mileage may vary! PRICE OF CONSTANTLY ON CPU IN USD: Assuming my number above is correct... Per this: http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html The national low is 7.2 cents per KWH, and the high is 18.33 cents per KWH. So your annual power cost is in the range of $18.92 to $48.17. Round it to a worst case of $50/year. CAMPING: Someone mentioned camping in all this. So I shall have a little more fun and consider camping. The camping spots I have seen pay a wide range or rates, but a common low rate I've seen is L$1 per 10 mins. That comes to L$6/hr or L$52560/yr. At L$300 to 1 USD that's USD $175.2/year. That beats the worst case price for electricity. Camping is cash positive! (This does not take into account the capital cost of the computer itself, your time, etc.) I hope my numbers are right. Maybe someone can double check me? Char-Lez Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 10:43:37 -0500 From: Aldon.Hynes at Orient-Lodge.com Subject: RE: [SLED] Metaverse is ONE. To: educators at lists.secondlife.com Just a quick number to try and put things into perspective. If I recall properly, the average desktop computer uses about 300 watts. If that computer is left on 24 hours a day, for 365 days, it would use 2.6 MWH. I must admit that in my little home office, I have three desktops that run 24x7 so I suspect that I am way over the estimates, a couple others that only run part time, and a laptop that is probably on about 10 hours a day.

Whoa! Fascinating numbers, Gavin. I decided to do a quick calculation to double check the 10% estimate in the article you quoted, so …… There are about 2.4 x 10^8 Internet users in North America (source: http://www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm). Annual use of electrical energy per capita in the U.S. is 12 MWH (source: http://www.thehcf.org/emaila5.html) – that's our individual share of all electricity used by us or on our behalf for any purpose. Suppose that 10% of that energy is used to drive the Internet. That's 2.4 MWH per person. Multiplied by 240,000,000 Internet users, that's 576,000,000 MWH of electricity. That's an overestimate, since at least some of the North American Internet users are Canadians. We can get a wild underestimate by assuming that ½ of them are Canadians, and that's still 288,000,000 MWH. The article you quoted came up with a figure of 350 x 10^9 kWH, or 350,000,000 MWH, which is right in the ballpark between my upper and lower limits. So, you can at least see where their number comes from. Does it make sense, though? They claim that 2/3 of the energy consumed in Internet use is due to desktop computers and monitors. If that's true, then each of us, on average, is using between 0.8 and 1.6 MWH of electricity for our desktops and monitors each year. I don't know about you, but I don't use anywhere near that much electricity myself. Somewhere, someone must be running REALLY POWERFUL desktop systems to drive the average up that high. Or there's an error in someone's calculation. I bet I know whose.

Parriah, From: Bruce Jones Subject: Re: [SLED] Metaverse is ONE. My educated guess (engineer) would be that the internet, all told, accounts for less than .01% of of our gross national electrical consumption. Personal computers consume very little energy and the mainframes consume more energy cooling them off (A/C) than to run them. This is taken from: http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ Contrary to popular belief, the internet consumes tremendous amounts of energy. Author John Michael Greer explains: "The explosive spread of the internet, finally, was also a product of the era of ultracheap energy. The hardware of the internet, with its worldwide connections, its vast server farms, and its billions of interlinked home and business computers, probably counts as the largest infrastructure project ever created and deployed in a two decade period in history. The sheer amount of energy that's been invested to create and sustain the internet beggars the imagination."

Thanks for the welcome. I sort of knew this existed, but I've always been a one wife - err... forum - at a time kind of guy... I seriously don't understand how to find the time to surf multiple forums and get any work done. So I deleted my PN bookmark ;-) Which should make EVERYONE happy.
It seems pretty smart to dedicate this forum to analog. Robb Galbraith has a good digital forum that I enjoy, and this avoids all those stupid arguements and dumb questions from digital dummies.

Being a pastor's kid is a lot more complicated than just sitting in the front pew, looking engaged in the sermon.
For example, many pastors' kids move multiple times throughout their childhood. Most struggle with the high expectations of parents but also want to break the "goody two-shoes" stereotypes of their peers. And some find it difficult having a parent who's away from home a lot.
A group of pastors' children recently reflected on their lives. Most agreed that they feel "set apart" from their peers.
"I do consider myself different because some of my peers don't believe in God. Some of them are so lost," said India Treadwell, 16, daughter of Robert Treadwell III, pastor of the nondenominational River of Life Church on the Northeastside.
Meredith and Angeline Bradford try to help pastors' children deal with their unique roles. They are coordinators of the Pastors' Kids Network at the Assemblies of God headquarters in Springfield, Mo. As daughters of a longtime Assemblies of God pastor who moved his family to Springfield when he took a national post with the church, they wanted to continue their ministry by offering support to others.
Reflecting on their childhoods (Meredith recently graduated from Evangel University in Springfield, where Angeline is a sophomore), the sisters said they faced all the challenges that come with having a father in the ministry. They agreed that perhaps the biggest trial was their move to Springfield when Meredith was in 10th grade and Angeline was in eighth.
"It was hard to make friends because I came in at a weird time," Meredith said. "Everyone had already developed their friendships through middle school and that first year of high school."
Grace Moh, 17, whose father has been pastor to various Korean churches, says her family has moved four times because of his work. Now living in Indianapolis, she said that while that was difficult, accepting that her father is father to many has been harder.
"When I was younger it used to bother me that I had to like share my dad," she explained. "We go to a Korean church, and a lot of the people there are recent immigrants. My dad is the only person they know, so he has to help them like apply for visas or get a job, get their kids enrolled in school," she said.
"A lot of times for like Christmas or New Year's or if we have a big holiday, then my parents will be over at the church instead of like with us."
Though no one else has had to share a father to such an extent, many have had to get used to less "me" time with their dads. Reports India, " He acts like a father to certain children who have no one to talk to. The only difficulties with that is that child is always over at our house."
However, Bre'Anna Smith, 17, says her father, Bishop T.W. Smith of Greater Kingdom International in Terre Haute, has found the perfect balance between church and family.
"My father juggles both. He never misses one of my track meets or events along with my brothers' basketball and football games. Every morning, we come together as a family for morning devotion," she said.
Though their family circumstances may differ, these youth all struggle with the stereotypes that come to being a pastor's child. "Many people think that we can't have fun, like just like regular fun. They think that I always read my Bible every single minute of my life, which I don't," said India, "And they always think I just like listen to gospel music and stuff, when I actually listen to a lot of other things."
Nevertheless, they try to be well-mannered and respectful of others. Bre'Anna said, "I can't do certain things. I'm set apart. Cussing is an example. When people talk to me and they may slip up, they can say like, 'Oh, my bad, I shouldn't have said that,' because they know what I stand for."
Most of these youth believe they have a duty to share their faith with others. "I do have the responsibility to teach people the word of God even in school or outside of school," said Isha Treadwell, 13.
Rather than meeting resistance, these teens find that others often come to them for guidance and advice. "Many people come to me with their problems at school 'cause they know that I am a pastor's child," said India. "I think my responsibility is to answer these questions and to give them advice and put them on a better path than they are now."
With responsibility comes expectations, and all these youth agree that their parents and church members expect much of them. "They expect me to lead by example through my life and things that come out of my mouth. They expect me to give advice and just show them the right way to go," said Bre'Anna.
Christopher McGrone, 14, whose father is pastor of Sure Foundation Apostolic Church on the Southeastside, struggles with such high standards. "I think they expect me to be a perfect example, but nobody's perfect," he said. "Sometimes I wish that I could just be a spectator, though I appreciate the position that God has put me in because maybe he has a reason."
Grace agrees that expectations can sometimes be overwhelming. "I mean, I'm supposed to be like good. I'm supposed to get good grades, not get in trouble, etc.," she said. "I'm supposed to be like a miniature version of my dad."
India added that people are shocked when she makes a mistake. "When I do some bad things, people look at me in a way like, 'Oh my gosh, she could not do that.'"
Under the pressure and expectations, some pastors' kids feel they can't live up to it and rebel. "You're oftentimes expected to live up to this perfect standard almost," Angeline explained.
"There's just so much pressure on you to hold the appearance of perfection, and of course no one can live up to that."
That is why many people expect the preacher's child to be either really rebellious or really good, according to Grace. She has seen a lot of kids rebel. "I have yet to meet a preacher's kid who wants to stay in the church," she said. "I'm much less religious than a lot of my friends who go to church every Sunday, to youth group and everything, because honestly, I'm kind of tired of it."
But India, Isha, Chris and Bre'Anna feel no breach with their churches. "I am a child of God," said India. "Even if my dad wasn't a pastor, I'd still be a child of God. So either way, I love the Lord."

Planners add Wasatch Front highway, transit projects to wait list
Regional planners are seeking public comment on wfrc.org/new_wfrc/index.php/plans/transportation-improvement-program">their annual proposal about which Wasatch Front highway and mass transit projects should be added to waiting lists for federal funding.
Each year, the Wasatch Front Regional Council releases its draft Transportation Improvement Program for the next six years. Projects must appear on it to qualify for federal funding. The new 2015-2020 proposal is available online at wfrc.org.
The council will accept comments on the new draft through Aug. 2. Also, it will have officials on hand July 9 to answer questions about the plan from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the Intermodal Center Plaza, 250 S. 600 West, in Salt Lake City.
Among notable projects added to the funding list for the first time over the next six years are:
• $900,000 to double-track the Sugar House streetcar line. It now runs on a single track in some areas. Adding a second track could allow streetcars to run every 15 minutes instead of the current every 20 minutes.
• $37,500 for a study to develop a plan to add a "family-friendly" bikeway on North Temple through downtown Salt Lake City, consider a separate bus lane there, and improve pedestrian crossings, bus stops and bus shelters.
• $750,000 to expand bike sharing programs.
• $958,000 to buy new Utah Transit Authority Buses to run up Ogden Canyon toward ski resorts there. Currently, that route uses old ski buses from Salt Lake County.
• $4 million to reconstruct 4100 South in West Valley City.
• $6 million to continue extending Porter Rockwell Boulevard eastward in Bluffdale. Eventually it will connect the new Mountain View Corridor highway with Interstate 15.
• $3.2 million to realign the collector road for the Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy with 9270 South at State Street.
• $4.4 million for a Redwood Road mobility and beautification project from 4100 South to Bruin Boulevard. It is designed to decrease "conflict points" to increase safety for pedestrians and motorists.
• $1 million to add curb, gutter, sidewalk, shoulders and a center-turn lane to 3200 West in South Jordan.
• $1.6 million to expand or replace a park-and-ride lot on Wasatch Boulevard at Hillsborough Pond in Cottonwood Heights.
• $1 million to improve the intersection of Main Street and 650 North in Clearfield.
Council Chairman Bret Millburn, who is also a Davis County Commissioner, said the long-range planning "ultimately helps to facilitate better traffic flow, increase travel options and improve safety."

LAS CRUCES — The Las Cruces Police Department will conduct at least two sobriety checkpoints and multiple saturation patrols within city limits during the month of December.
LCPD sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols are intended to reduce and eliminate the number of motorists who drive while intoxicated. Additional enforcement activities may include underage and party patrols.
Las Cruces police encourage those who plan on consuming alcoholic beverages to use a designated driver — someone who will not be drinking alcoholic beverages — for their transportation needs.
Anyone who needs a safe ride home from 5:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays, Saturdays or holidays can take advantage of Project Home, a program sponsored by Doña Ana County and Las Cruces Shuttle and Taxi. One or two people can receive a $5 taxi ride home from anywhere within Doña Ana County. For up to four people the fee is $10. Grant funding pays the balance of transportation charges.
For Project Home taxi service call (575) 524-TAXI.

Vibration from 58 to 68 mph.
Vibration from 58-68.
I believe my Camaro has this issue (see below) and GM is saying this is a normal condition of all Camaros. The tires have been balanced and rechecked. I would appreciate knowing if your Camaro does or does not have this issue please.

#PIE0058: EI10067 - Engineering Information - Shake/Vibration in Steering Wheel/Body or Seat of Vehicle While Driving at Highway Speeds on Smooth Roads - (Mar 19, 2010)
Subject:EI10067 -- Engineering Information -- Shake/Vibration in Steering Wheel/Body or Seat of Vehicle While Driving at Highway Speeds on Smooth Roads
Models:2010 Chevrolet Camaro
Attention: Proceed with this PI ONLY if the customer has commented about this concern AND the EI number is listed in GMVIS. If the customer has not commented about this condition or the EI does not show in GMVIS, disregard the PI and proceed with diagnostics found in published service information. THIS IS NOT A RECALL -- refer to Service Bulletin 04-00-89-053C for more details on the use of Engineering Information PIs.
Condition
Important: If the customer did not bring their vehicle in for this concern, DO NOT proceed with this PI.
Some customers may comment on shaking/vibration feeling while driving at highway speeds (typically between 55-70 mph (88-112 km/h)) on smooth roads.
Vibrations in the steering wheel may also be accompanied by vibration in the body and/or seat but may be more obvious to the driver due to contact with the steering wheel. When the steering wheel is held loosely on smooth roads, driving straight ahead, slight steering wheel oscillation may be visible.
Cause
GM Engineering is attempting to determine the root cause of the vibration. Engineering has a need to gather information on vehicles PRIOR to repair that may exhibit this condition. As a result, this information will be used to "root cause" the customer's concern and develop/validate a field fix.
Instructions
Road Testing
In order to provide the best diagnostic information, a road test with an EVA (Electronic Vibration Analyzer) or equivalent should be conducted. Convenient locations for the magnetic transducer are the steering column, the driver front seat track and the trunk floor pan over the rear of the propshaft. If possible, you should record your readings in each location between 50-70 mph (80-112 km/h).
Important: If the vehicle has been sitting for an extended period of time, you should drive the vehicle for at least 10 miles (16 km) to remove any tire flat-spotting.
Important: Be sure tire pressure is set to the placard values.
Visually inspect the tires and the wheels. Inspect for evidence of the following conditions:If the vibration source is determined to be the tire/wheel assemblies, perform the following:Wheel and Tire Assembly Balance & Road Force Variation Check
Missing balance weights
Bent rim flange
Irregular tire wear
Incomplete bead seating
Tire irregularities (including pressure settings)
Mud/ice build-up in wheel
Stones in the tire tread
Verify that aftermarket wheels and/or tires are not in use.
Road test the vehicle using the EVA essential tool while driving for a sufficient distance on a known, smooth road surface to duplicate the condition. Determine if the vehicle is sensitive to brake apply. If the brakes are applied lightly and the pulsation felt in the steering wheel increases, discontinue this EI and refer to the Brakes section of SI that deals with brake-induced pulsation.
Next, record the Hertz (Hz) reading as displayed by the EVA. This should be done after a tire break-in period of at least 10 miles (16 km) at 45 mph (72 km/h) or greater, in order to eliminate any possible tire flat-spotting. This reading confirms what the vehicle vibration frequency is prior to vehicle service and documents the amount of improvement occurring as the result of the various steps taken to repair. If the EVA indicates a 45-55 Hz propshaft vibration, discontinue this EI and follow normal diagnostics in SI for driveline vibrations.
If the vibration smooths out during the road test, tire flat-spotting is the cause. Provide the explanation to the customer. The vibration is due to the vehicle being parked for long periods of time and that it's the nature of the tire to take a set. You may find additional information by referring to Corporate Bulletin Number 03-03-10-007E: Information on Tire/Wheel Characteristics (Vibration, Balance, Shake, Flat Spotting) of GM Original Equipment Tires.
Once again road test the vehicle and record the EVA values. Note if there was not an improvement in the vibration concern. Contact the engineer below with your collected data. The engineer will advise the proper corrective action at that time.
Mine does. :laugh:
But of course I have messed up after market wheels on it. :rolleyes:
But, when I had the 21" wheels on it, there was NEVER any vibration.
i have no vibration
No modifications have been made to my Camaro.
Funny, I noticed a slight shimmy in my steering wheel, but could not feel any real vibration when driving. I recently upgraded to 20 X 9's in front and it got worse. I had the wheels rebalanced and 98 percent of it went away.
I can still see it sometime, but for I cannot feel it when I hold the wheel. I also know it took alot of weights to balance the wheels.
See my thread about the grooves in the road...
As pointed out in the service bulletin, the tires can be balanced, but the tire/wheel assembly may have a high or low spot that only shows up under load testing of the assembly. The wheel may have a slight high point and the tire may have a high point, that if they are not offset by the way the tire is mounted, could cause a vibration.
Could just be a bad set of tires.
mine does as well but again...aftermarket wheels
mine doesn't have a vibration
Mine did that a bit when I had the pirelli scorpion ice and snow tires on there. The dealer re-balanced the tires and it was a lot better. I haven't really noticed it on the summer P zeros.
I also have this problem. Going on a long road trip this week will have to see if it goes away after a while of driving. Funny because my 98 SS was as smooth as glass at 140mph.
I have this I ****ing hate the car at these speeds due to it. At 85mph its really bad
The runout on each of the tires is much lower than GM's specs. The balance and runout were verified by another tire company.
I had this vibration issue on a set of new tires for a different car a few years back. After Discount Tire performed a special balancing (match mounting?) of the tire they finally decided to replace the tires.
After that the car road fine.
But good luck getting your tires replaced on a new car.
Sometime wheels will still shake and vibrate even after they have been balanced. The problem is often excessive wheel runout or tire runout. Most tires should have less than .030 to .050 inch of runout. An out-of-round tire can produce harmonic vibrations that come and go at various speeds depending on how many "humps" are in the tire.
As a rule, most steel rims should have less than .050 inch of runout, or .040 inch of runout if the rims are aluminum alloy. Some trucks and SUVs can tolerate up to .060 inch of radial and lateral runout, but others can't handle any more than .030 inch of runout before vibrations become noticeable.
Runout problems can often be corrected by "match mounting" the tire on the wheel (rotating the tire so the tire high spot is over the rim low spot). "
No problems at all. In fact, mine is so smooth that I accelerate through 70mph and on to over 80mph sometimes without even realizing it. Definitely cool but a little scary how quick and easy the car gets up there without making a whimper.
GM should go to the unlimited warranty because everything that is wrong with the car they just say "that is normal". I think the engine could fall out of mine and they would say that's normal.
My 2010 1SS 6spd does this and has done this for a while. Only at 70mph and higher. I only feel vibrations in the seat however. I plan on taking it to the dealership soon and hope its just a tire balancing issue.
I know this thread is somewhat old but is there any new information here? TIA!
I see that they mention you should drive the vehicle 10 miles to releive any flat spotting. My office is only 7 miles from my house. It always vibrates until the tires are warmed up. A lot of people who live in a warmer climate probably have never experienced this. I can not wait to buy new tires, however they still have tons of tread....
Smooth as silk from zero to 124 mph.
No issues
I also have this problem at around 78 and above. Really bad at 83, took it to dealer and they balanced all 4 tire because they said were out of balance, and road forced the tires. They said it was fixed. drove off and the same problem still exists, call the dealer and said we can do anything about it if above 70 (the legal speed limit). I told them that was BS, that this car is biuld for high speeds. The manager never called me back!!!!!!!!!! It's really bad when tires are cold.
U know what, I have been starting to notice this issue lately too. I guess I'll mention it when I bring it in for the spoiler issue
from the sounds of they are just going to waste my time and tell me it's normal. cannot wait to replace these tires, but it will be a while before I do .. : p
My 2011 SS is not doing this but my 2009 Pontiac G8 GT is, We brought it back to the dealer for new tires that did not work, brought it right back for four wheel balance job still did not fix it. The service manager said to me well you know the car has 28,000 miles on it I laughed at him I have a 210,000 mile Blazer and 200,000 mile Toyota and they do not have this problem. I have posted the complaint on a G8 site and I got a welcome to the club. Lets hope GM recalls our cars for this problem because it it BS $35,000 plus should not do this.
