These Candy Bar-Stuffed Baked Apples are a lot like that. They are tender, oven-roasted apples that are stuffed with candy bars before baking so that they have a gooey, warm, indulgent filling when you cut them open. The ... Read More »

The day after Halloween, you will probably have a big pile of Halloween candies that you didn't give out to trick-or-treaters, and you might have another pile that your kids collected while they were out.

When you have fun sized Halloween candies left over after the trick-or-treating is through, the obvious thing to do is to simply eat it yourself over time.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Had the computer replaced, and had to take it back to them and pay for a rental car for the week I was going to be out of town, for them to re-program the computer...since they didn't program it correctly the first time.
Shortly after, I started getting a "Service 4WD" light. I took it back to them, but the light went out before they got it in a bay. I was told to bring it back when it comes on and stays on.
After over a month of the "Service 4WD" light being on, I took it back. They said the transfer case control module needed to be replaced...they would have one the next day. I took my truck so I could work the next day and took my truck back to them after I got off work so it would be there first thing the next day.
After a day of them having my truck, they called around 5:45 PM and told me the part (that was supposed to be there the day before) was tested before sending it to them and found to be faulty. I picked my truck up for the weekend.
I took it back to them the following Monday...since the new part was supposed to be there from San Antonio on Friday. After having my truck all day Monday (dropped off and back home by 9 AM), I got a call at 7:40 PM (they close at 7 PM), stating that they were sent the wrong part...something I listened to them tell another woman that morning when I took my truck in.
The following Tuesday, I called and asked for a ride from my house so I could pick my truck up. An hour and a half later, I rode my bike to the shop to pick up my truck, since nobody had come to pick me up.
I asked them to cancel the order and I'd have another, trustworthy shop do the work, but they said it was already ordered, so they couldn't (or wouldn't) cancel it.
The following week I was busy and needed my truck, so they had to wait for me to bring the truck back. It was scheduled to bring it in on Tuesday (today) to have the work done. I received a call at 7:20 AM saying the person that was going to program the computer was on his way and they needed the truck right then. I got up, fed my dogs and took care of some things that I needed to do and had my truck there less than an hour from the first call asking for my truck.
When I got there, I was told the guy had left, but would be back later. I packed up my stuff and started walking home. I went back and told Eric that I wanted the old part off my truck, and he said "OK." I picked up my stuff and left. Eric asked if I wanted a ride home and I told him "no, all y'all can kiss my @$$", and proceeded to walk home.
While waiting for Eric to tell him I wanted the old part, I told another person behind the counter that I didn't understand how they were going to program the computer for a part that wasn't even installed yet, and he just shrugged his shoulders.
They say this problem has nothing to do with the other work they did on the truck, but the computer wasn't done correctly the first time, and there has been a recall on it to recalibrate it for the transfer case control module in the past. So if they don't have that update, then it isn't the part that's bad, it's the programing of the computer...which is their mistake, not mine.
The husband called after 6 PM, when we still hadn't heard from them, and around 7:40 PM, they brought the truck to the house, with a part. Stuff on the dash was actually moved this time and a screw was left on the floorboard, so I know they at least did something with the dash this time.
I'm still not convinced that the programing of the computer wasn't the problem, but I have my truck back and will never deal with them again.
If you want the work done in a timely manner, do not go to this place.

So an update on the window discussion from before:
We have since had two other people come out and price our windows. Pella quoted us about $2K less than Andersen and Home Depot about $1K less. The H preferred Home Depot because he liked the guy better and said they were better quality windows. I'm inclined to go with Pella because it was the least expensive and they're still really great windows.
The H has been rather unsuccessfully been playing phone tag with two contractors for the last two weeks which sucks because I really want these windows installed mid-May so I want a decision made!
So here is where I need help — financing (making a decision that is, if you'd like to pay for it, even better!) I have a zillion options:
- Financing through MNCEE
- 5.99% rate
- maximum loan is like 20K
- Application process requiring approval (already submitted)
- Balance Transfer with Bank of America
- 0.99% rate until end of December 2010 (8.99% afterwards)
- 3% transaction fee
- $2,500 available
- Balance Transfer with Citi
- 3.99% rate until April 1, 2012
- 3 % transaction fee
- $7,400 available
- Balance Transfer with Citi #2
- 0% rate until September 1, 2011
- 3% transaction fee
- $7,400 available
- Balance Transfer with Citi #3
- 0% rate until February 1, 2012
- 5% transaction fee
- $6,000 available
There's actually like a zillion different variations of the citi offers but I think these were the best. It seems to me like its really between those two for deciding… what do people think?
I'm hoping on being able to pay the whole thing off after getting my tax return in March of 2011.

These people have somehow obtained phone numbers of friends I haven't talked to in months or even years and have told them that they are from CPS...so, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Child Protective Services! I've got friends calling me to find out if everything's OK and if they can help me with the kids?! They've been telling anyone they can reach that they are from CPS and that I need to contact them right away!
Being that I live in Hawaii, we are a few hours behind from California and they call all day while I'm at work telling me that if I don't call them TODAY that they are going to send someone to pick up the car. They've been saying that for the past 2 weeks. I've tried calling the agents that have been leaving messages on my phone but usually get voice mail so I left a message and told them that I would be mailing a check. The next day, I get a nasty message from the agent saying that they won't except it and that I HAVE to call and make a payment by phone?! Is it even legal to force someone to pay a debt by phone...and have to pay the fee?
I just made a payment on-line and just paid the $10 fee and then a get a call from yet another representative telling me that they're sending an agent out today to pick up the car. I know I was late but WOW...I didn't realize that a loan company would stoop as low as to track down any phone numbers associated with you (I don't know how they did it or if it's even legal). I just want to pay these people off as soon as possible and never hear from them again!

Watch this, skip that
"American Idol" 8 p.m. Fox We'll be treated – we hope it's a treat, anyway – to three episodes of "American Idol" this week as viewers at last get their chance to vote. We'll whack the 20 semifinalists down to 10 finalists over the three-day extravaganza.
Tonight, the 10 girls sing. Wednesday, it will be the 10 guys. Thursday, the results of the voting will be announced, with the top five of each gender advancing.
We haven't had a season with just 10 finalists since the first, but the producers insist there will be no "wild card" additions this year.
If that is the case, it will be interesting to see how America's tastes mesh with those of the new judges. I am betting that at least a couple of the performers the show has promoted relentlessly won't make it past Thursday night.
"Signs of the Time" 9 p.m. KLCS/58 We take for granted the myriad hand signals in baseball – catcher to pitcher, coach to batter, umpire to the audience – but how and when they were developed is something of a mystery. This 2008 documentary aims to solve it and gives much of the credit to two figures from the game's distant past: umpire William Klem and deaf player William "Dummy" Hoy.
"The Joe Schmo Show" 10 p.m. Spike It would have been better to finish this series on April Fools' Day, but sadly, we must say goodbye to "The Joe Schmo Show" tonight.
The premise of the series is to place one genuine, unknowing contestant into the middle of an otherwise staged reality competition for laughs.
But in truth, the faux show has far more genuine moments that most reality series, as the script falls apart, actors slip out of character and the Schmo turns out to be much smarter than anyone figured.
In tonight's finale, the joke is revealed – although we suspect the Schmo, the good-natured Chase Rogan, won't be too surprised.
And before we go, let's take a moment to honor C-list actor Lorenzo Lamas for his career-best work on the show, portraying C-list actor Lorenzo Lamas – or at least a very funny version of him.
"The Taste" 9 p.m. ABC I love that they call chef Brian Malarkey by his last name on this series; it's a fitting moniker for this entire sad waste. "The Taste" has gotten a little better since its yawn-inducing first two episodes, but it still hasn't made it all the way to good. There are many superior cooking competitions to watch.

THIS is Mick Jagger's 15-year-old son Lucas Jagger.
Sporting his Dad's signature long unruly locks and thin frame, he's certainly a chip off the old rocker.
The pair strolled the red carpet for the premiere of James Brown biopic, Get On Up, in New York yesterday looking the spitting image of each other.
Also present was mini Jagger's mother, 43-year-old Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez, who Mick met backstage at a Rolling Stones gig in 1998.
Jagger's extramarital affair with Gimenez produced Lucas and was the final straw that led Jerry Hall to leave him in 1999.
Jagger has six other children who were born to three different women and range in age from 16 to 43.
Additionally, he became a great-grandfather earlier this year, when his granddaughter Assisi (born to his daughter Jade) gave birth to a daughter on May 19.

Most days I get up around 6am, and living in east London means I have an easy commute to work, which is in Shoreditch. My walk usually takes 40 minutes, which gives me a good opportunity to read new emails on my blackberry and to check if we have been notified of any new child trafficking cases.
As the manager of the NSPCC's child trafficking advice centre I have a busy and varied job. We are a free specialist service for professionals who are concerned that a child is being trafficked. It was set up seven years ago and since then it has grown hugely – back in 2007 we would be working on 20 cases at a time, and now it's closer to 100. My background is in social work and I'm responsible for managing a team of five people made up of social workers and a police liaison officer from the National Crime Agency. Every day is different – one day could involve meeting trafficked children, and another could involve a trip to Africa to train immigration officers.
This morning I took a group of three children, who had been trafficked into the UK, to meet with an international non-governmental organisation. The aim of the meeting was to talk about how we can raise awareness of child trafficking. Our role in this as is to ensure we give these young people, who have often gone through unimaginable abuse, a voice within the trafficking arena. Child trafficking is abuse which requires a child protection response and agencies working together, within and across international borders.
A big part of today's meeting involved asking the children if they would like to meet with politicians and, if so, what would they want them to do. The children we work with often have brilliant creative ideas – last year members of our young person's advisory group produced an art exhibition called the Art of Trafficking, which showed the ways children are trafficked into the UK. This year we are talking about producing something similar.
At around 1pm I grab lunch and get ready for the day's training session. A lot of our work involves training professionals to spot the signs of child trafficking – this includes police, immigration officers, children's services and voluntary organisations. Only last year another social worker, our National Crime Agency officer and I delivered training to immigration officers based in Ghana and Nigeria. This afternoon I stayed a little closer to home and trained some social workers working with deaf and disabled children. It's really important social workers in this area have training to spot child trafficking – we have been involved in cases where children with disabilities have been used by traffickers for begging and benefit fraud.
Our training sessions are usually three hours long and involve presentations, quizzes, a DVD and group work. Case studies are used to establish what has been learnt; what legislation and guidance should be followed and what action should be taken. Every session is different, depending on who we are training. If we are delivering to the police we would use a trafficking case which the police were involved in, such as cannabis cultivation. The idea is to inform professionals that cases often need to be looked into further and, importantly, that trafficked children should be treated as victims of child abuse. It is really important that agencies work together to gather more information to ensure children are protected and intelligence is shared.
It's always difficult to pack up and leave for the day as we're a busy team and care passionately about our jobs and the children and young people we work with. However, with four grown up children, and family both here in the UK and in Gambia, it's good to get home and catch up with them, even if it is while cooking dinner. My last thought at night usually involves my job – and what adventures tomorrow will hold.

I ordered 2 Nintendo Wii systems from www.refurbwiis.com for $19.99 each, used a bank debit card for one and Paypal for the other, charges have cleared, but have not received the items.
I did some research and discovered that this is a bogus company and it is an internet scam. I tried contacting the company by phone as well as by email. I never actually spoke to anyone, just get voicemail, so I left a message. I did, however, receive a response email from Consoles4Less support but it just directed me to their website to check my order status.
I went to their website as directed to check order status and it shows the progress of the order. However, I have since learned that information is also bogus, that other people have gone through the same thing with this company, and never received any merchandise from them.
My bank statement shows that this company is in Pensacola, FL but the Consoles4Less website shows the items are being shipped from China. I have learned that this is most likely an offshore scam and it has internet domains registered in Russia, China, and Australia.
I filed an internet scam report with the federal government's IC3 program and I plan on filing a report with the BBB as well as the FTC.

FMS 2015: *UPDATED* Samsung Adds Layers to its 3D VNAND, Doubling Capacity While Reducing Power Consumption

FMS 2015: Samsung Adds Layers to its 3D VNAND, Doubling Capacity While Reducing Power Consumption
Samsung recently added 2TB capacity parts to their 850 EVO SATA SSDs, but today's announcement may double that. Today at Flash Memory Summit, Samsung has announced a new iteration on their 3D VNAND technology.
Cross section of Samsung 32-layer VNAND. (TechInsights)
The announcement is a new TLC 3D VNAND (the type present in the 850 EVO Series). The new parts consist of an updated die with the following improvements:
- 48 layer VNAND - up from 32 layers of the previous generation
- 256Gbit (32GB) capacity - up from 128Gbit (16GB) capacity of 32-layer VNAND
- 30% reduction in power consumption over 32-layer VNAND
Samsung's new 48-layer VNAND.
I suspected Samsung would go this route in order to compete with the recent announcements from Intel/Micron and SanDisk. Larger die capacities may not be the best thing for keeping performance high in smaller capacity SSDs (a higher number of smaller capacity dies helps there), but it is definitely a good capability to have since higher capacity per die translates to more efficient flash die production.
The Samsung keynote is at noon today (Pacific), and I will update this piece with any photos relevant to the announcement after that keynote.
I just got out of the Samsung keynote. There were some additional slides with data relevant to this post:
This image simply shows the additional vertical stacking, but adds that Samsung has this new flash in production right now.
The new higher capacity dies enable 1.4x greater density per wafer (realize that this does not mean more dies per wafer, as the image incorrectly suggests).
The power consumption improvements (right) were in the press release, however the speed improvements (left) were not. A 2x improvement in per-die speeds means that Samsung should not see a performance hit if they migrate their existing 128Gbit TLC VNAND SSDs over to these new 256Gbit parts. Speaking of which...
Not only is this new VNAND being produced *this month*, Samsung is retrofitting their 850 EVO line with the new parts. Again, we expect no performance delta but will likely retest these new versions just to double check for any outliers.
There was some more great info from the keynote, but that will appear in another post later today.
Samsung's press blast appears after the break.

Samsung Announces VNAND Powered 4TB PM863 and 2TB SM863 SATA Enterprise SSDs
Subject: Storage | July 20, 2015 - 01:01 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: vnand, ssd, SM863, sata, Samsung, PM863
Take the Samsung 850 Pro and 850 EVO, add some Tantalum Capacitors for enhanced power loss protection, tune their firmware for enterprise workloads and QoS, and what do you get?
...you get the Samsung PM863 and SM863 lines of enterprise SSDs! These 2.5" SATA units were just announced, and as we suspected after reviewing the new 2TB 850 EVO and Pro, these new models can include even more flash packages, dramatically increasing the flash capacity. Here is a breakdown of the launch pricing and capacities:
SM863 (2-bit MLC VNAND):
$870 ($0.91/GB) < possible typo$640 ($0.67/GB)
PM863 (3-bit MLC VNAND):
Aside from the possible typo in the pricing I informed Samsung of the pricing oddity and they have replied with a correction. Their site should be updated to reflect this correction shortly.
These are some very competitive prices for enterprise SSDs, and the fact that the TLC version can cram just under 4TB into a 7mm 2.5" form factor is just astounding. The MLC version capacities appear to still follow that of the 850 Pro, minus a bit of available capacity due to higher levels of over-provisioning.
More impressive is the endurance ratings of these SSDs. The SM863 line is rated (varying by capacity) from 770 Terabytes Written (TBW) to an astonishing 12,320 TBW for the 1.92TB model! That's over 12 Petabytes! The PM863 is rated lower as it is TLC based, but is still no slouch as it ranges from 170 to 5,600 TBW for the 3.84TB capacity. The SM863 carries a 5-year warranty, while the PM863 drops that to 3-years.
We've been waiting to see Samsung's 32-layer VNAND appear in enterprise units for some time now, and look forward to testing them just as soon as we can get our hands on them!
Full press blast after the break.
A world without SIMs?

If you hate trying to read the numbers off of your SIM card and are sick of their continual shrinking then Apple and Samsung's plan to make the SIM card extinct may be good news. If you have a phone with dual SIMs or remove the SIM when you travel to ensure no roaming charges will be applied to you then perhaps you are less than happy to hear these companies want to replace the physical SIM with a software one. It will make changing providers and phones easier but making it a permanent part of the phone could have some drawbacks. Those of you who have a new iPad Air and iPad Mini may already be familiar with the soft SIMs, if you want to read more you can catch up at The Register.
"Smartphone goliaths Apple and Samsung are reportedly confabulating at a high level regarding plans for hardware which would replace SIM cards in mobile devices - this technology would be embedded in phones, tablets etc and would not be exchangeable to different devices."

SATA SSD Roundup

[H]ard|OCP has just posted a roundup of four affordable SATA SSDs to show which would be the best one to pick up as the majority of users are not able to afford an NVME PCIe SSD. The drives are all within $50 above or below $200, with the 850 PRO having the highest cost per gigabyte and the EVO the least. They test content creation and moving large files as well as synthetic benchmarks to come out with a ranking of the four drives which you can refer to if you will be shopping for storage in the near future. In comparison they use the G.SKILL Phoenix Blade to show off what the new technology can do, for those that can afford it.
"Despite the performance benefits, PCIe SSDs remain an expensive niche market. That means that most of us are not going to be loading up a high end system with PCIe SSDs. Most of us mere mortals will be using SATA SSDs. We tested some of the best SATA drives with enthusiast-friendly price tags."

"We made a 7nm process chip and you can't have one!" - IBM

Tagged: Samsung, IBM, GLOBALFOUNDRIES
The heavy hitting partnership of IBM, Samsung and GLOBALFOUNDRIES have designed and created the first chip built on a 7nm process using Silicon Germanium channel transistors and EUV lithography. Even more impressive is their claim of 50% area scaling improvements ovver 10nm, a very large step in such small processes. IBM told PC World that they will be able to fit 20 billion transistors on a 7nm chip which is a tenfold increase over Braswell as an example of current technology. The Inquirer reports that this project also cements the deal between GLOFO and IBM; GLOFO will be the exclusive provider of chips for IBM for the next decade.
"IBM'S RESEARCH TEAM has manufactured functional test chips using a 7nm production process, making it the first in the industry to produce chips with working transistors of this size."

Is your game library getting huge? Maybe a 2TB SSD is the answer
Subject: Storage | July 6, 2015 - 03:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ssd, Samsung, 850 PRO, 850 EVO, 2TB
Samsung is extending their 850 EVO and Pro lineups to include 2TB versions of the popular SSDs thanks to the use of 3D-VNAND; three bit memory on the EVO and two bit on the Pro. They are rated at the same speeds as their 500GB and above counterparts and The SSD Review had a chance to test that. Interestingly they did indeed find performance differences between the 1TB and 2TB model of the same design, which you can check out in the full review. Their results were not quite the same as Al's review which was just posted, you should compare the two reviews as well as the systems used for theories on why that is. You can expect to pay ~$1000 for the 850 Pro 2TB and ~$800 for the 850 EVO 2TB.
"If you look back over the past several years, there have always been three constants that needed to be addressed in order for SSDs to become a viable consumer solution to storage; value, reliability and capacity. One of our first SSD reviews was on an MTron 32GB SSD with a whopping price tag of more than $1500…and they sold!"

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Where are all the 2TB SSDs? It's a question we've been hearing since they started to go mainstream seven years ago. While we have seen a few come along on the enterprise side as far back as 2011, those were prohibitively large, expensive, and out of reach of most consumers. Part of the problem initially was one of packaging. Flash dies simply were not of sufficient data capacity (and could not be stacked in sufficient quantities) as to reach 2TB in a consumer friendly form factor. We have been getting close lately, with many consumer focused 2.5" SATA products reaching 1TB, but things stagnated there for a bit. Samsung launched their 850 EVO and Pro in capacities up to 1TB, with plenty of additional space inside the 2.5" housing, so it stood to reason that the packaging limit was no longer an issue, so why did they keep waiting?
The first answer is one of market demand. When SSDs were pushing $1/GB, the thought of a 2TB SSD was great right up to the point where you did the math and realized it would cost more than a typical enthusiast-grade PC. That was just a tough pill to swallow, and market projections showed it would take more work to produce and market the additional SKU than it would make back in profits.
The second answer is one of horsepower. No, this isn't so much a car analogy as it is simple physics. 1TB SSDs had previously been pushing the limits of controller capabilities of flash and RAM addressing, as well as handling Flash Translation Layer lookups as well as garbage collection and other duties. This means that doubling a given model SSD capacity is not as simple as doubling the amount of flash attached to the controller - that controller must be able to effectively handle twice the load.
With all of that said, it looks like we can finally stop asking for those 2TB consumer SSDs, because Samsung has decided to be the first to push into this space:
Today we will take a look at the freshly launched 2TB version of the Samsung 850 EVO and 850 Pro. We will put these through the same tests performed on the smaller capacity models. Our hope is to verify that the necessary changes Samsung made to the controller are sufficient to keep performance scaling or at least on-par with the 1TB and smaller models of the same product lines.
Samsung Publishes Battery Enhancement Tech with Silicon
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | June 26, 2015 - 04:53 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Samsung, battery
When I was in my Physics program, there was a running joke that the word "Nano" should be a red flag when reading research papers. This one has graphene and nanoparticles, but it lacks quantum dots and it looks privately funded by a company, so we might be good. Kidding aside, while I have little experience with battery technology, they claim to have surrounded silicon anodes for lithium batteries with a layer of graphene.
Image Credit: Samsung via Nature
This addition of graphene is said to counteract an issue where silicon expands as it is used and recharged. The paper, which again is the first source that I have seen discuss this issue, says that other attempts at using silicon adds vacant space around the anode for future growth. If you can keep the material at the same volume over its lifespan, you will be able to store more electricity in smaller devices. I wonder why Samsung would want something like that...

i was going to Nascar race and they even gave out complimentary bags with sunscreen, chapstick, earplugs and rain poncho. That was nice added gift.
very Clean, comfortable and upscale. The King bed was to die for. breakfast was great even the lime and lemon water with cookie or fruit were refreshing. More like a 4/5 star instead of 3. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Location was great too.
It was worth the price but cheaper or discount would of been even better. Paid XXX. for 2 nights.
good location
dirty carpet and dirty chair...
It was fine for a overnight stay on our way to the race.
Friendly staff. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Great choice of pillows. Nice breakfast.
has a pool and breakfast included
reserved and received confirmation for a room with 2 beds and pull out couch. Ended up with a room with 1 bed and pullout couch because they overbooked and could not provide the room I reserved.
Omelet breakfast was better than the average hotel complimentary breakfast.
Very clean and quiet
I requested a wake up call 2different days and did not get it.other than that it was good
Room was clean, no bugs, bed was comfortable.
Awful smell, outdated.
Was close to all our destinations easy acess to main hwy. Getting out ftom side hotel entrance had shrub block g on coming traffic
Or room assigned when given key has someone else in room 151 had to go to 2nd floor and back aces security door didn't work half the time and after 9 pm up til 11 pm. Door was still unlocked
No real continental breakfast (moldy bagels, mini powdered doughnuts, a jug of suuny d, coffee) thats it and u had to eat food in broom closet lobby w/one table two chairs or be kicked out of room
Dirty room dead cockroach no room service
Provided what I needed, a clean simple room to stay at. That's all I wanted, worked out perfectly!!
The area it was located in caused me some concern, but it proved to be unfounded.
Nothing it was a scary place
Yes, the photos are fake. We arrived at 8pm and they still didnt have rooms cleaned. The place looked like they rented it by the hour. We left because there were no rooms available for about 2 hours the police showed up. Scuzzy place to stay dont even go
Fecies in toilet upon arrival. No toilet paper. No light bulbs in lamps. No blankets or pillows on 2nd bed. Staff did not care.
Very, very friendly and helpful staff that were willing to help with the many, many issues with the building. Very responsive and very welcoming. Despite the building issues, the room was very clean.
Facilities are a mess: broken keycard reader, water on floor from AC, crumbling popcorn on ceiling, door weatherstripping preventing door from opening . . . the place just needs a lot of maintenance help.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

I live around the corner and I don't drive this car after I park it until the next morning for work, This was the afternoon of the 26th of DEC 2007 and the next time I drove it was on the night of the 28th. it was raining I smelled something burning after I filled the car up. I drove it about three blocks and I;m at the light and I see some smoke coimg from under the hood .I pull over to check it out and the smell is even stronger this was Saturday night.
Monday I drove the car to work and called Chad that morning and told him what i smelled and he stated to me bring the car back in and they would check it out, Now it was a clear burning smell and he stated to me that he didn't smell anything which was a bunch of bullSh$$ anyone with a since of smell could smell this, He told me to dive it the rest of the week until Friday and if that smell was still around he'd look at it again,
This is Monday around 2:30-3:00 New Years Eve I didn't drive the car anymore until I came out to go to work Thursday morning and my car wouldn't hold a start, meaning you had to continue to give it gas. I went to work that morning driving another one of my cars. As soon as I get to work I called Chad and told him that my car wouldn't start like it had been for the last 2 1/2 years with no problems what so ever .I got off work and took the car back to them and he stated that nothing that they did caused this problem, but it's Ironic that the very same thing that you all cleaned or was supposed to have cleand is the problem.
I tooke it to the Nissan Dealership and the have provided me with a written request that clearly states that this was a direct cause for my Throtle body assembly to burn up and my electical unit to burn out from whatever chemicals were used this has cost me $2025.84 to get fixed and Xpress Lube was saying that it wasn't their fault. I spoke with the Area Supervisor Steve Temple and he stated that he handed this over to his Corp Office I think that they are trying to blow me off, but they just don't know what type of fight that they have entered into. my car was fine before I went there I always keep the maintenance up on all my cars namely this one because I drive it to work everyday.
The Master Technician at Nissan clearly stated that someone did something to cause this damage. If anyone reads this and has a good Lawyer please contact me at 678-xxx-xxxx,(((REDACTED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES))) Thanks I will never ever send nor recommend that place, come to think of it I don't think that anyone there is Ceritfied I will have to see

Four points and you're not one of the three stars?
Dustin Tokarski allowed 4 goals on 40 shots to claim the win.
First Period
NOR Craig, (11) (Hall, Karsums), 0:46
WBS Letestu, (12) (Johnson, Jeffrey), 5:05
NOR Hall, (7) (Karsums), 7:06
NOR Craig, (12) (Hall, Karsums), 12:57
Second Period
NOR Smolenak, (5) (Lashoff), 2:19
WBS Wallace, (10) (Conner, Strait), 5:00
WBS Tangradi, (8) (Vitale), 6:04
NOR Hall, (8) (Lashoff, Karsums), 10:22
Third Period
WBS Jeffrey, (11) (Letestu, Johnson), 1:52
Adam Hall (2 goals and 2 assists and a +3 rating) was the game's first star and Ryan Craig was the game's second star with a pair of goals and a +3 rating, answering the bell in Brandon Bochenski's absence. Martins Karsums (4 assists and +3 rating) evidently didn't deserve star consideration. Really?
Karsums now has 2 goals and 10 points over his last 7 games and is finally emerging from a slump that lasted almost the entire first half of the season. He looks energized heading into the Olympics for native Latvia. Matt Lashoff had a pair of helpers for his first multi-point night of the season. Like Karsums, who came with Lashoff in the Mark Recchi deal, Lashoff also slumbered offensively through much of the first half of the season, but he now has 1 goal and 4 points in his last 4 games. Sooner or later, it was inevitable with the talent on this roster that certain guys like Karsums and Lashoff were going to start showing up. It's a good sign.

D Mark Barberio, MCT: 1-0-1, E, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Season Totals: 37 GP, 6-25-31, +15, 36 PIM
Barberio scored the game's opening goal on the power play. He has begun to find the back of the net more frequently recently, though he's got a ways to go to reach last year's career high of 15 goals. Barberio began his QMJHL career with Cape Breton in 2006-2007, but was traded after 41 games.

Season Totals: 27 GP, 11-13-2-1, 3.54 GAA, .896 sv%, 1 SO
Zador gave up at least five goals for the third straight game, and as a result was pulled for the third straight game. Kevin Bailie, who played the last game for Oshawa, relieved Zador, but gave up three goals on five shots. DeCoste, on the other hand, remains hot, scoring for the second straight game. He's within two of his career high for goals in a season (15), set last year with Brampton and Sault Ste. Marie. DeCoste's goal came against Zador.
Khabarovsk 4 @ Dynamo Moscow 3 (OT)
Johan Harju, Dynamo Moscow, 0-0-0, -2, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Season totals: 39 GP, 3-9-12, -9, 28 PIM

With Lethbridge: 28 GP, 13-13-26, -8, 52 PIM
Ashton helped Regina erase a 2-0 deficit in the game and end the club's nine-game winless streak. This was his first two-goal game since October 25 when he was with Lethbridge.
Alabama-Huntsville Chargers 3 @ Vermont Catamounts 4
C/W Matt Marshall , UVM: 0-0-0, E, 2 PIM (contact to head/cross-check), 3 SOG

Typical Day
Moe Dirt gets up bright and early at 6:00AM. Like every morning, he's sore from yesterday's work, but a little pain and aching isn't going to stop him from getting on to today's work. That said, he does take his bottle of aspirin out of the medicine cabinet and toss it into his bag—just in case.
Moe grabs a bagel to go with his pre-brewed coffee and heads out early enough to be at Green Acres Landscaping Services by 6:30AM. After loading the extra tools he'll need for the day into his already-pretty-loaded white Ford F-250 pickup truck, he checks in with his manager for a final rundown. By 7:15AM, he's on his way to the first site with his two-man crew.
The first job is at a flashy Chevy dealership on the Boulevard. There's not much landscaping to do, exactly, but plenty of pavement that needs to be blown clear of whatever leaves and litter have arrived since they were last there a week ago.
The job's not as simple as it sounds. A big problem is that blowers, although effective for blowing debris away, also stir up a lot of dust. These are not exactly the best weather conditions for people who want to keep their cars nice and sparkly—which is most people. That means Moe and his crew have to set their industrial-strength, maximum force ultra-power blowers on the low setting.
The team eventually gets the job done, finishing around 10:15AM, though they've taken a lot of time and maybe lost a little pride in the process.
Just as Moe is wondering how this sort of work is related to actual "gardening," the dealership manager comes out to thank him for the flashy new impatiens (as in, flowers—not plants that can't wait to bloom) that replaced the fading cool-season annuals last week. They're coming along nicely and are just as bright (and tacky) as the rest of the dealership.
Those aren't the client's exact words, but Moe's happy to fill in some of the subtext.
Moe and the guys arrive at a strip mall a bit closer to town at around 10:45AM. They know they need to tread lightly here. A few weeks ago, a now-ex-employee sprayed a non-selective post-emergent herbicide to control aphids on English ivy. The aphids eventually died—because the herbicide killed the ivy they were feeding on.
Poisoning the ivy—that's a new one.
Working incredibly carefully, they get everything into proper shape and condition, including the very expensive and delicate hedges. This is the hard part, since the landscaping only looks good when they take the time to prune things properly.
The crew finishes up around 1:00PM. After parking to eat burritos at a random curb, they continue on to the sprawling Clammit residence, where a friendly but confused elderly woman always asks who they are, what they're doing there, and whether or not they've seen her cat. She always asks Moe to dance like President Hoover, a request he has never once honored.
This job doesn't pay well, but at least the job site is an interesting one.
With the job finished and Granny Clammit satisfied with the answers to today's questions, the crew leaves and gets back to the yard by 3:00PM. The three guys unload what needs to be unloaded, and with no reason to stick around they say their goodbyes and take off.
Moe gets back in the pickup truck and heads on down the road toward home. He'll take a nice long shower and take a break for a while, then it's time for his favorite activity: having friends over for dinner in his yard.
It may not be the biggest yard, but it's the best looking one in the neighborhood.

The Universe as Telescope
By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD
Published: December 29, 1998
Faraway in the cosmos, where everything is separated by distances measured in hundreds and billions of light-years, sometimes a galaxy or cluster of galaxies in the foreground intersects the light from an even more distant object. The conjunction plays visual tricks, creating mirages that are becoming a practical tool of astronomy, a kind of natural telescope.
Aided by more sensitive cameras and advanced computer technologies, systematic searches of the heavens are yielding an increasing number of examples of such celestial phenomena, known as gravitational lenses. Scientists are learning to interpret these distorting and magnifying lensing events for revealing clues in the most intractable mysteries of the universe.
''Lensing is a really explosive area of observations,'' said Dr. Christopher D. Impey, an astronomer at the University of Arizona Steward Observatory. ''For decades the theory sat there, but no one could observe lensing. Now we can see the universe as one big optics experiment.''
The new observations are proving Albert Einstein right, as usual. In 1916, he predicted in his general theory of relativity that the gravitational field of any mass bends light. Two decades later, he proposed that a massive object could thus act as a lens, bending and distorting radiations from a more distant object so that it would appear as a ring or arc of light. Einstein doubted that telescopes would ever be able to detect such faint and rare events, but now looking through gravitational lenses, astronomers are exploring a wide range of problems in cosmology. They are making new measurements of the age of the universe, looking for planets and other unseen objects and investigating the structure and nature of quasars, some of the most distant and enigmatic objects in the far reaches of the cosmos.
Of surpassing importance, lensing observations are being used to weigh the universe. According to the standard theory of Big Bang cosmology, luminous matter of stars probably contributes less than one percent of the cosmic mass, and all ordinary matter, seen and unseen, accounts for no more than five percent. With lensing, astronomers are beginning to find and map the distribution of some of the missing mass -- the unknown and invisible dark matter that shapes the universe and probably controls its ultimate fate.
''For the first time we now have a window on the universe that's not biased to radiation,'' said Dr. J. Anthony Tyson, an astronomer at Bell Labs of Lucent Technologies in Murray Hill, N.J., who is one of the most experienced observers of gravitational lenses.
Until now, he explained, astronomers looked for evidence of dark matter only through its gravitational influence on bright galaxies. This is like searching for lost keys only under a lamp post, blind to what might lie in the darkness beyond. What if much of the missing mass inhabits the dark intergalactic voids?
Dr. Tyson and colleagues have developed increasingly effective techniques for lensing observations to ''see'' dark matter in clusters of galaxies. Future surveys beyond the galactic lamp posts, they say, will demand exceedingly long periods of observations requiring the services of a large, new ''dark matter telescope'' devoted exclusively to the task.
Knowing the mass density of the universe, in both ordinary and dark matter, is a critical issue in cosmology. A lightweight universe, which is indicated by other evidence, would force theorists to rethink all their models based on reasoned assumptions that the universe is delicately balanced between eventual collapse and infinite expansion.
They have already started. Cosmologists now postulate the existence of a pervasive ''dark energy,'' which might make up for any deficiency in cosmic mass and also could explain the stunning discovery, reported earlier this year, that the universe's expansion appears to be speeding up, not slowing down as had been thought. If they still cannot somehow balance the books on cosmic mass, theorists may have to turn the page to a revised theory.
Dr. Dennis Walsh of the Jodrell Bank Observatory in England and colleagues saw the first gravitational lens in 1979. They noticed two starlike objects where their radio observations indicated there should be only one. Further study revealed that these were not separate objects but rather that the light from a distant quasar was split in two by the gravity of a giant galaxy halfway between the quasar and Earth.
Slowly, astronomers have discovered a few dozen other lensed quasars. But with the development of charge-coupled devices, highly sensitive electronic instruments that have replaced photographic plates in astronomy, lensing observations are no longer restricted to powerful quasars. Lesser radiations from galaxies and even single stars can also be seen through gravitational lenses.
It is the light from these fainter objects, in particular small blue galaxies that seem to predominate in the great depths of space and time that form the backdrop for Dr. Tyson's work. When Dr. Tyson saw the first of billions of these previously undetected faint blue galaxies toward the limits of the observable universe, he recognized this as a breakthrough in his dark-matter search. In 1990, Dr. Tyson's group began to collect and analyze lensed images of these galaxies, reasoning that they would shed light, so to speak, on the distribution of dark matter in the present universe. Assisted by new computer software, astronomers saw in the distorted light evidence of clumps of dark matter not only in the lensing galaxy clusters but well beyond their glowing structure. Astronomers realized that in looking for mass only in luminous regions, they might be missing plenty of mass where there is no light at all, and here was an effective way of mapping the wider distribution of dark matter.

At first I received countless well designed brouchers for their Premier Master Card. I repeatedly threw them in the trash.
In late March I answered the phone and made the mistake of listening to , rather than hanging up on a telemarketer.
To make a LONG story shorter, I got "scammed" by PROFESSIONALS. They put a lot of money into this
scam .They will not refund easily.
When I realized it was a scam, I looked for help
I found none from the BBB, State Attorney General, and CERTAINLY not Advantage Capital.
I DID find help on the internet from a consumer web site similar to this one. Advice from and experiences of other
people helped me get my money back.
I went QUICKLY to my bank,, paid a $22.00 "stop payment
fee" on ALL WIRE TRANSFERS, and closed my checking account. Then I had to open another account. My bank said
it would be better to risk " bouncing" a legitamite check.
These people had pulled over a $1,000.00 from my account and showed NO SIGNS of letting up.
Wasting time trying to contact them only allows them time to hit your account for more charges.
It was thanks to other consumers willing to share that I got help. Therefore, I in turn hope my story helps someone else.
Go to YOUR BANK for help!!!
I was lucky . My bank got all my money back in my account.

The Mississippi House and Senate are working on separate budget proposals, but both would slightly
increase the funding for public schools in the coming year.
There are some other differences in the ways the two chambers propose to pay for state government during the fiscal year that begins July 1.
The Senate wants to spend more than the House on paying off the state's long-term debt, while the House wants to spend more than the Senate on mental health.
The two chambers offer similar proposals to fund Medicaid.
Leaders are scheduled to negotiate final versions of the budget bills by late April.
The state-funded portion of the budget is expected to be about $5.6 billion, with much more money coming from federal sources.

I've just been diagnosed with "a small amount of emphysema." Is this reversible? I am not a smoker, though I did smoke moderately 40 years ago.READ MORE
Most experts agree that emphysema is not reversible with current treatments once symptoms appear. But these same treatments can greatly slow the progression of the disease in most patients. You might discuss the treatments and your own prognosis with your pulmonologist or cardiologist to see which one is the best for you.
This link will take you to a page that has a great deal of information on emphysema and treatment steps, and here are some other articles you might find useful.
Understanding COPD: Doctor Q&A
11 Signs You May Have a COPD Flare Up
Emphysema is not reversible. It is a chronic debilitating disease. Treatments concentrate on interrupting the progress of the disease along with keeping the patient as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Emphysema now is placed into a category known as COPD, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Smokers must quit immediately if the wish to prolong lung activity. Holistic approaches to treatment can be effective if they relieve symptoms and promote dialog with heath care professionals.
Good luck I will be praying for you.READ MORE
- Emphysema is a progressive lung disease that results in shortness of breath and reduces your capacity for physical act
Need to search for the cause. Something the medical community doesn't do. They just want to prescribe drugs that take care of symptoms.
You need to learn what the body needs to heal itself. I can share some information if you are open to learning. It has nothing to do with drugs. I study the work of many Nobel Scientists and they have kept me and Mom(80) well.

text: Saturday afternoon I found 2 avocets, 2 golden plovers, 1 wilson's phalarope, 14 pectoral sandpipers, and about 30 yellow-legs (mostly lesser), near the town of Pennock in Kandiyohi county. This wetland isn't big or special; it looks like the drain tile has been repaired and therefore won't hold the water it did last year, but, for the moment, the birds like it. Depending on how much rain we get, it should be around another week. >From the town of Willmar, go west on hwy 12 to Pennock. Go west another 2 miles(?) from Pennock to 120th and turn north (right). The wetland is on the east side of the road about 1/2 mile from highway 12. The golden plovers were still in basic (winter) plumage, so are easily overlooked in the grass.

The first thing I constantly look for when I evaluate one of these systems is do they provide a money back guarantee? One of the companies that has many of these types of items readily available is click bank. If they are the transaction processor then I know I can get a refund if I need one.
Prior to I buy a lotto system I also prefer to discover if it is a book, e-book, software application that I have to download or a web based software platform. Not that I have anything versus any specific type, but I am hesitant to download a great deal of things. Everybody discovers better from a various medium.
Some people learn much better by seeing, some by hearing and some by reading. I have the tendency to learn better by checking out so I have the tendency to favor a book or e-book if it is a choice. On the other hand, there is something to be stated when choosing lottery game numbers to just having the ability to click a button and get a set of numbers.
The next concern you need to ask is if you truly think a system that you spend for will offer you a true edge in the lotto? I am constantly doubtful and even though I have examined a lot of these software products and books, I am not entirely convinced one that will offer you an edge really exists. This does not imply that you shouldn't examine them yourself, but in my experience if it sounds too great to be true then it most likely is too excellent to be true.
I have never ever played the lotto with money that I might not afford to lose and my finest advice for you is that as long as you follow the exact same standards that you will be alright whether your new system works or not. And with as lots of systems as there are offered, if you develop your own possibly you can begin offering it too! find out more at sukabet
