Focusing on the issue area of development cooperation, this thesis investigated the question of how and why SOs got involved in tourism in developing countries, and more specifically, in small island developing states. Such involvement may occur either directly through aid funded projects or indirectly through international trade regimes that impact on tourism in the aid recipient countries. The thesis adopted a case study approach focussing on the European Union's (EU's) involvement in the governance of tourism in South Pacific island states. Grounded in a history of colonialism, the EU has been involved in the 'development' of the South Pacific for more than three decades, which allowed to track changes in development philosophy over time. Focusing on the concept of power, the case was assessed in a multi-scalar manner, analysing the EU's involvement from the global down to the local level. Never before has an entire multilevel polity been assessed in one coherent case study, incorporating actors situated at all levels and ranging from supranational organisations to national governments, businesses, communities, and individuals. The methods employed in this thesis included interviews, participant observation, document analysis (policy documents and newspapers), and subsequently critical discourse analysis. The latter served to highlight the so-called 'third face of power' (Lukes 1974), which is closely related to the concept of ideological hegemony. Interviews were conducted in Fiji and Samoa with officials of the South Pacific Delegations of the EU, officials of tourism authorities, NGOs, tourism operators and community members. Elite interviews in Brussels were conducted with officials of the European Commission and the European Parliament. Under all scales and 'faces' of power the EU was found to be the dominant actor, while the issue of self-interest appeared to play a key role. At a macro-level, the EU clearly dominated in most overt decision-making situations during negotiations on aid and trade agreements. As concerned the inclusion of tourism in the agreements, the relative importance of the sector was clearly dependent on the European Commission's prevailing attitude on 'tourism and development' at any point in time. At a meso- and micro-level, the EU's influence was less obvious yet nonetheless existent, for example through funding rules and the use of European consultants. Indirect influence also occurred at the national level. In particular the substitution of a preferential trade regime with a free trade agreement (the Economic Partnership Agreements), which is currently being negotiated between the EU and the Pacific Islands, is likely to have a significant impact on the economic importance of tourism, as well as public policy in the South Pacific. In a mini case study of Samoa, it was found that the resulting changes in tourism policy would have a significant impact 'on the ground', in particular with regard to rates of local ownership and control. Overall, power relations were found to be highly unequal and self-determination and empowerment have largely not been achieved. However, more research is needed to examine the ability to generalise the findings to other geographic regions or other types of SOs. The key contribution of this thesis in the theoretical realm constitutes its bridging of agency and structure within multi-level governance, which may be conceived as a 'third way' to either dependency theory-influenced studies (global/structure) or community approaches (local/agency). 2016-05-02T23:18:42Z Political Ecology of Shangri-La: A study of environmental discourse, tourism development and environmental subjects Zhang, Jundan http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6361 2016-04-07T23:42:10Z 2016-04-07T23:41:35Z Political Ecology of Shangri-La: A study of environmental discourse, tourism development and environmental subjects 2016 Zhang, Jundan Within the context of China's environmental changes that closely related with its rapidly expanding economy what can we learn from looking at tourism there from a political ecology perspective? Political ecologists have contributed to the politicization of discussions around the complex network of relationship that exists between nature and society. At places where economic development and environmental deterioration confront one another, tourism regularly is advocated and often adopted as a possible resolution for alternative modes of development without further compromising ecological relationships. Examining tourism in the context of political ecology therefore becomes inevitable. This study is geographically situated in Shangri-La in Southwest China. Located in the Sino-Tibetan borderland and within a natural World Heritage Site; The Three Parallel Rivers of Yunnan Protected Area. Shangri-La is a habitat historically shared by various ethnicities and nonhuman speices. Since the late 1990s, tourism development has been vigorously promoted. My own long-term engagement with Shangri-La, in particular Pudacuo National Park, dates from 2007 and includes an eight-month period of ethnographic fieldwork in Pudacuo National Park and Niru Village in 2013 and I continue to regularly visit Shangri-La till today. Drawn from the experiences, conversations and observations I had in Shangri-La over years, I view tourism as a process of "worldmaking" (Hollinshead, 2016) rather than simply as an industry. In order to understand this process of tourism "worldmaking", I examine not only the political economy background of (eco)tourism development in Shangri-La, but also the constant interactions and exchanges between different perceptions/regimes of 'nature' realized through tourism development. I argue that in tourism "worldmaking" we can no longer view 'nature' singularly, as 'capitalist nature', 'organic nature' or 'techno-nature'. Instead we need to recognize 'hybrid natures' that result from hybridization of these other, different ideas of 'nature' which constitute an 'environmental discourse'. Through a critique of 'Green Tibetan', I identify individuals who, as 'environmental subjects', have experienced changes of livelilhood, often working within or alongside tourism development. These environmental subjects simultaneously hold different regimes of nature; thus are constantly enacting 'hybrid natures' through their being and becoming. I argue that these individuals are always in a process of translating and appropriating of 'environmental discourse' into their own thinking and practicing, which in turn allows them to contribute back to the 'environmental discourse', through tourism "worldmaking". Through integrating political ecology and tourism studies, the contributions to knowledge emanating from my thesis therefore are four-fold: the fieldwork conducted in Shangri-La provides a place-based and historically situated analysis of environmental subjectivities in the context of tourism development. Second, the thesis helps to recognize the formation of environmental subjects within the environmental discourse and, recognizing the production of environmental subjects explains how individuals carry out the hybridization of different nature regimes, as well as contributing to each. Thirdly, this, in turn, helps us to better understand tourism "worldmaking", with which we can use to examine ecotourism and perhaps other kinds of tourism more generally. Finally, the thesis deconstructs the long-held binaries/beliefs in tourism about the relationships between culture and nature and discusses how tourism should be recognized as contributing to political ecology studies by continuously unsettling predetermined concepts such as 'nature', 'culture', and 'modernity'. 2016-04-07T23:41:35Z Local Communities and Tourism Development in Protected Areas in Malawi: Investigating Community Involvement Bello, Felix Gasten http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6013 2015-10-29T01:14:11Z 2015-10-29T01:13:05Z Local Communities and Tourism Development in Protected Areas in Malawi: Investigating Community Involvement 2015 Bello, Felix Gasten Wildlife in protected areas is one of the major tourist attractions in most Southern Africa countries. With the increased tourist interest in experiencing natural environments, tourism has also become a major function of protected areas. As government funding for conservation across the world continues to decline and pressure to identify explicit economic rationales for protected areas increases, various forms of tourism have been developed in protected areas to generate revenue for conservation and to provide an economic justification for the continued existence of protected areas. Tourism in protected areas has therefore attracted attention from governments of many developing countries looking at maximising economic benefits from tourism development. The prevailing socio-political and economic conditions in different countries have influenced the management of protected areas leading to the emergence of several governance models for them. The most recent paradigm of protected area management recognises the link between protected areas and local development and acknowledges the role of local communities in protected areas. As a result, most tourism development initiatives in developing countries now claim to adopt a participatory approach even though the concept has been developed in the context which suits the prevailing conditions in the developed world. From the literature review, this study has drawn out best practice lessons in community participation and developed a community participation framework for tourism planning associated with protected areas in developing countries. Therefore, drawing from the proposed framework, this thesis sought to investigate the extent and scope of local community involvement in tourism planning and management associated with protected areas in Malawi. The study used semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions as its primary data collection methods. The study demonstrates that at Majete Wildlife Reserve, a protected area managed by African Parks, a not for profit organisation, functional community participation in tourism planning has been achieved while Liwonde National Park, managed by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW), a government department could only attain participation by consultation. The study argues that with regards to protected area based tourism, the levels of community participation attained in tourism planning are affected by the management or governance model for a particular protected area. The study reveals that there are significant factors that limit local communities' participation in tourism planning associated with protected areas in developing countries. The major limiting factors include: inadequate financial resources; inadequate information; lack of trained human resources; unfair distribution of benefits; human-wildlife conflicts; low education levels; poverty and apathy; centralised public administration; and lack of coordination. Most studies on community participation only suggest the importance of the public participation concept without articulating the required actions to promote community participation. This thesis identifies the possible strategies to enhance community participation in tourism planning associated with protected areas in developing countries. Six strategies emerged as major prerequisites to achieve full and active community participation and these are: public awareness and education; capacity building; creation of linkages; use of appropriate participation methods; use of appropriate local community organisations; decentralisation of public administration; and coordination of local organisations. The proposed strategies were identified on the assumption that the planning authorities and other stakeholders would put in place effective mechanisms to mobilise sufficient resources for the tourism planning process. 2015-10-29T01:13:05Z Host And Guest Perceptions Of Backpacker Tourism Impacts On Local Communities: A Case Study Of The Yasawa Group Of Islands, Fiji Sroypetch, Supattra http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6004 2015-11-02T19:55:35Z 2015-10-27T23:23:16Z Host And Guest Perceptions Of Backpacker Tourism Impacts On Local Communities: A Case Study Of The Yasawa Group Of Islands, Fiji 2015 Sroypetch, Supattra This thesis examines host and guest perceptions of the economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts of backpacker tourism on local communities. Backpackers frequently hold 'anti-tourist' attitudes and conceive themselves as 'real' socio-economic contributors to their host destinations. Sometimes though, they are criticized by their hosts for loutish behaviour and harsh haggling. Given such contradictions, this project investigates (1) whether there is a significant difference between the perceptions of hosts and backpackers towards the impacts of backpacking; and (2) whether socio-demographic factor(s) influences hosts' and backpackers' perceptions of such impacts. Although there is a growing body of research on backpacker tourism, there is inadequate knowledge regarding the impacts, real or perceived, of backpacker tourism on local communities. The current understanding of backpacker tourism impacts is largely drawn from the views of outsiders, researchers and scholars. The critical view, of hosts and backpackers themselves, is significantly overlooked. There is also a dearth of research that explores perceptions of tourism impacts which emphases the heterogeneity of individuals based on their socio-demographic characteristics. Identifying a knowledge gap, this project contributes to academic knowledge not only through its investigation of host and guest perceptions of backpacker tourism impacts but also by its investigation of why the two parties perceive the impacts in particular ways. Utilising a pragmatic, mixed methods approach, data was gathered between August and November 2011 employing questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and informal conversations. The study site was the Yasawa Islands of Fiji. Selected members of the host community along with visiting international backpackers were engaged for the research. The host participants included indigenous Fijian villagers, tourism business investors, tourism industry employees, central governmental officials and destination policymakers. The resulting thesis found that the backpackers recorded higher self-judged negative environmental impacts on the destination than those identified by their hosts. In contrast, the hosts demonstrated a stronger perception than their guests towards economic and socio-cultural impacts; in both positive and negative indicators. This finding may be unsurprising considering the host's economy largely depends on backpacker tourism. The thesis revealed that socio-demographic factors significantly influenced the perceptions of both hosts and backpackers towards the impacts of backpacking. In regards to the perceptions of hosts, the findings indicated that the higher educated hosts have a stronger perception towards the economic and environmental impacts than the lower educated hosts. The hosts who live closer to the tourism zone perceive the socio-cultural impacts more unfavourably than those who live farther away. The male hosts perceive the environmental impacts more undesirably than do the females. The younger hosts have a stronger concern about the environmental impacts than do the older ones. Furthermore, the hosts who are employed in the tourism business perceive the environmental impacts to be more severe than those who are not. Additionally, the shorter the length of residence, the more likely hosts are to recognize the negative environmental impacts. Regarding the perceptions of backpackers, the findings reveal that Asian backpackers have a stronger perception of the economic and the environmental impacts of backpacking than those who are from other regions. Furthermore, the experienced backpackers recognise their impacts on the environment more strongly than the less-experienced travellers. 2015-10-27T23:23:16Z Building Adaptive Capacity For Natural Resource Management In Akaroa Coastal Environment, New Zealand. Palliser, Anna http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5899 2015-09-25T14:02:15Z 2015-09-24T23:30:45Z Building Adaptive Capacity For Natural Resource Management In Akaroa Coastal Environment, New Zealand. 2015 Palliser, Anna This thesis examines how people in the coastal environment of the Akaroa area of Banks Peninsula, New Zealand are doing at building adaptive capacity for local approaches to natural resource management. Adaptive capacity is viewed through the lens of resilience research, which conceptualises human society and ecosystems as complex social-ecological systems, in which uncertainty and non-linear feedback are inherent. A single, in-depth case study probes the processes operating in the multi-layered network of natural resource management initiatives in Akaroa coastal environment. Through interviews with a wide range of people involved in these initiatives and attending meetings of local groups, data was gathered about how knowledges are being learned, shared and valued, how relationships are developing, how management groups are operating and how power relationships are affecting building adaptive capacity in this location. The research uses a phronetic approach, which is informed by post-normal science and critical systems thinking and focuses on praxis and values. Consequently, as well as exploring what is happening and how it is happening, this study also questions if what is happening is desirable, both according to theoretical perspectives regarding building adaptive capacity and to local perceptions about being involved in land-based conservation, coastal-marine conservation and the management of local fisheries in this location. In this way the research presents a situated and contextualised understanding of building adaptive capacity, which considers values and the inevitable influence of power. This is a necessary complement to normative studies of adaptive capacity in natural resource management. This thesis is firmly committed to a belief that understandings of social-ecological systems are inevitably perspective-bound and uncertain; there can be no objective position and no certain facts or truths. Consequently multiple legitimate perspectives should be deliberated in order to determine what is best for the people and ecosystems involved, with the people impacted by natural resource management decisions closely involved in judging what are the best knowledges to inform these. Thus the epistemological position of this research is constructivist, considering all knowledges as constructed and partial and privileging none. From this constructivist perspective and focusing clearly at the local level of natural resource management, this thesis illustrates how many of the factors considered to enhance building adaptive capacity in the literature are also factors that locals value and are enthusiastic about. Key factors are respecting and valuing both local expertise and knowledge and scientific expertise and knowledge, and locals having a sense of ownership and decision-making powers in their resource management work. The study also illustrates how power disparities and privileging certain knowledges can undermine the development of collaborative approaches to local natural resource management, and how the historical context can strongly influence the perceptions, attitudes and behaviour of people involved in local management initiatives. In consequence, the research questions the nature of public consultation for natural resource policies and plans in New Zealand, identifying that there needs to be a greater degree of local involvement in decision-making that impacts on local lives and livelihoods. The research also questions the way expertise is regarded in the natural resource management arena, recommending that local expertise should be valued alongside scientific expertise, with knowledges arising from both these areas of expertise considered and discussed by a group of stakeholders before decisions are made. In addition, the research also recommends that New Zealand natural resource management at all levels needs to more clearly embrace the inherent uncertainties that are present in many natural resource management issues and the ways this impacts on decision-making processes. 2015-09-24T23:30:45Z Orphanage Tourism in Cambodia: The Complexities of 'Doing Good' in Popular Humanitarianism Guiney, Tess Catherine http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5791 2015-07-09T20:50:12Z 2015-07-09T20:49:40Z Orphanage Tourism in Cambodia: The Complexities of 'Doing Good' in Popular Humanitarianism 2015 Guiney, Tess Catherine Alternative forms of tourism within Global South nations are increasingly popular for Western tourists seeking more adventurous, ethical or 'authentic' tourism experiences. One such tourism form – orphanage tourism – sees tourists from wealthier, predominantly Western, nations visiting residential care centres in 'developing' nations to visit, volunteer at, or make donations to poor children. This thesis explores orphanage tourism within the context of Cambodia, adopting a critical geography approach to investigate the intricate and contentious aspects of tourism within this space. A critical geography approach to orphanage tourism enables an examination of the range of influences upon orphanage tourism at multi-scalar levels. Through this, I explore the complexity of orphanage tourism's genesis and development, examining what prompts tourists to participate, the impacts that this tourism form has, and the anti-orphanage tourism campaigns that have developed to resist orphanage tourism, both in Cambodia and internationally. This thesis argues that those who participate in orphanage tourism are largely motivated by a particular perception of 'developing' nations and their populations. I argue that through popular geopolitical commentaries, tourists' perceptions of Cambodia are shaped into an imaginative geography of suffering, desperation and poverty. Such a construction arguably promotes a perception that popular humanitarian intervention is needed and appropriate, or indeed required, of a responsible neoliberal subject. The promotion of children within aid campaigns and celebrity humanitarianism similarly results in popular humanitarian forms focused upon children to be particularly popular. The tourist imagination of Cambodia has a significant impact upon how orphanage tourism materialises. For example, through these mediated commentaries on child suffering, a desire for intimacy is created, prompting 'hug-an-orphan' vacations. As a result, children are expected to interact with tourists in particular forms. I examine the pressure that this places on the children within these centres, extending upon emotional labour literature. Geopolitical representations of suffering and poverty similarly create an expectation of poverty and difference, with less scrupulous orphanages encouraged to conform to these stereotypical representations to garner donations. Subsequently, understanding of complex situations is erased and dominant perceptions are reinforced and played upon. Promoted as a beneficial and benign tourism form, orphanage tourism can be seen as having a profound impact upon the children within these centres. Orphanage tourism is largely motivated by a desire to help those in need. Indeed, there are arguably significant benefits of this tourism form. Ultimately, however, this thesis argues that orphanage tourism extends neoliberal principles and results in more costs than benefits for the children within these centres, as well as the wider system of residential care in Cambodia. In addition, such individualised and emotional responses to suffering arguably erase pressure for political responses to the structural violence within the international system that results in such inequality and poverty. Finally, I examine anti-orphanage tourism campaigns that have developed to resist orphanage tourism. Over the past five years, several Cambodian as well as international groups have rallied against orphanage tourism. These groups have prompted important changes within the orphanage tourism sector. Many protesters claim that the industry facilitates the encroachment of neoliberal practices into the lives of these children, with popular humanitarianism representing the 'soft-edge' of neoliberalism. The future of orphanage tourism in Cambodia will depend on a complex number of factors, with these groups being especially influential. In this thesis I argue that there is an urgent need to consider the role of international processes that create the inequality on which orphanage tourism predicated. Popular and celebrity humanitarianism focus almost exclusively on the symptoms of poverty rather than the causes and for true changes to occur, a significant reconfiguration of the international system is required. 2015-07-09T20:49:40Z Economic Value of Freshwater Recreational Angling in Otago: A Travel Cost Method Approach Jiang, Liang http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5614 2015-04-16T22:05:37Z 2015-04-08T01:04:39Z Economic Value of Freshwater Recreational Angling in Otago: A Travel Cost Method Approach 2015 Jiang, Liang Otago is renowned internationally for offering some of the most pristine and exciting freshwater trout and salmon fishing in the world. However, many freshwater fishing sites in Otago are showing signs of environmental degradation due in part to continuing agricultural development, especially the increasing intensification of land use through dairy farming. Stricter requirements for controlling the flow of contaminants into waterways have been proposed and are under discussion. Implementation of stricter requirements will impact farming costs, but provide benefits for anglers and other recreational users. Estimating the economic values of the freshwater recreational angling is an important input to decisions about rules to maintain or improve water quality. Information about angler travel costs and fishing activities was collected via an on-line survey, and a travel cost method was applied to estimate the economic value of access to Otago freshwater recreational fisheries by domestic anglers. The estimates of that value in terms of consumer surplus fall in the range of $88 million to $130 million per annum. In addition, anglers who fished in back-country fisheries enjoyed higher consumer surplus than anglers who fished at river or lake fisheries. These estimates are reasonably comparable with estimates using similar methods with data from other areas in New Zealand and around the world. 2015-04-08T01:04:39Z The practice of everyday life performed away from home: A reflexive ethnography of a group tour Scott, David George http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5557 2015-04-28T09:51:19Z 2015-03-20T02:37:08Z The practice of everyday life performed away from home: A reflexive ethnography of a group tour 2015 Scott, David George The 'idea' of tourism, often understood as an escape from day to day life at home, means that the mundane performances and spaces of everyday life within the tourism experience are rarely considered. In this thesis I demonstrate that by exploring these mundane spaces and practices, a better understanding of the identity performances of individuals whilst away from home can be gained. Taking a reflexive ethnographic approach, this thesis looks at 'tourist' identity and everyday life through the lens of the fully inclusive group tour. The thesis is founded in a 'reflexive' interactionism; the relationship between the external world and my internal knowledge of it, where encounters whilst travelling with social objects, both human and more-than-human, inform the narratives. In going on, and participating in, an inclusive group tour I illustrate how mundane aspects of everyday life are performed 'elsewhere'. Throughout the thesis, I present an insider's view of the performance of this everyday life and so position myself as both subject of the research as well as researcher. As such, in this thesis I engaged my own culturally and socially situated subjectivities, which alongside encounters with others, resulted in a critical appraisal of self and identity. The thesis uses (im)mobilities to focus upon three specific spaces of identity practice. First, I look to the representational characteristics of the tour brochure and the images and texts of everyday life. In doing so, I explore representations of everyday life elsewhere and the construction of a tourist imaginary. Second, I explore the everyday encounters and performances of social actors engaged in a fully inclusive group tour, specifically on board the coach. Through this, I examine how social space is implicated in negotiations between the individual-as-tourist whilst also constructing a temporarily mobile community. Third, I look to how spaces of touristic consumption, for example the comfort stop, are re-constructed through the performance of everyday day life whilst on tour. I show that in order to maintain an individual's ontological security (for example the ability to make 'sense' of daily life) away from home there is a necessary commodification of daily life. Often, as a result of this, the social actor is unproblematically identified and suggested as performing the individual-as-consumer. However, in examining the banal spaces of daily life within an inclusive group tour, I suggest that seemingly ordinary practices of daily life offer the possibility to re-enchant the rationalised 'commercial' world in and through which the tourist unreflexively moves. I conclude by bringing these three specific spaces of identity practice together and suggest that the performance of everyday life elsewhere problematises identity. Rather than the simplistic performance of the 'tourist', the individual is found to simultaneously construct and perform multiple, often contested, identities. In centring daily life of the individual so the myth of tourism as the escape from everyday life is challenged. 2015-03-20T02:37:08Z

Check out this trailer showcasing some of ZombiU's radical new multiplayer gameplay.
So the Wii U has been out for a couple weeks now, and so has the breakout zombie apocalypse game ZombiU. The game's creative use of the Wii U's GamePad makes it stand out in the survival-horror genre, and this new trailer shows off some of its new multiplayer features.
ZombiU's single player gameplay is pretty revolutionary in itself, but that didn't stop developers from making the multiplayer modes just as crazy. To give players a unique multiplayer experience, the team behind ZombiU embraced the concept of asymmetrical gameplay, and rather than having players compete in the same game, they've devised a way for them to interact through two completely different games.
Basically, while one player blasts his way through the undead horde on the TV, the second player uses the touchscreen GamePad to strategically populate the map with more zombies in an effort to overrun the other player.

To Whom It May Concern,
I package services a documented history of the on going problem with General Motors and Jack Schmitt Chevrolet Dealership.
Jack Schmitt Chevrolet Chevrolet Motor Division
127 Regency Park Drive Customer Assistance Center
O'Fallon IL 62269 PO Box 7047
(618) 628-2500 Troy MI 48007-7047
I have provided the entire service request in chronological order of the work that has been requested and performed on my Chevrolet Venture Van (VIN Number) 1GNDX03EXXD234158.
I originally went into Jack Schmitt Chevrolet in November of 1998 to purchase a new Chevrolet Venture Van. I ordered the van since they did not have one on the lot my wife and I liked at the time we decided to purchase the vehicle. I was called back in about two weeks from the individual who sold me the vehicle and he asked me if it was o.k. to order the van through Jack Schmitt Chevrolet in Freeburg. He also stated it would take at least three more months to receive my vehicle if I wait to order it through the Belleville dealership. I told him that it would be all right to order it through the Freeburg dealership as long as I could still bring it to the Belleville dealership for maintenance. He informed me that any Jack Schmitt dealership would perform maintenance on any vehicle purchase from one of their dealership. I picked up my vehicle in March 1999 from the Jack Schmitt Chevrolet dealership in Freeburg. At the time I picked up the vehicle it only had 10 miles on the vehicle. This was the last time I drove the vehicle without some sort of problem.
Upon traveling to in July 1999 Michigan I began to hear a noise under the hood. Once I returned I took my vehicle in to Jack Schmitt (Belleville) to have it looked at on 6 Aug 99 (Tab A). I reported that the cowling around the passenger window was loose and there was a noise coming from under the hood that I suspected was the cruise control module hitting something inside. They put a small piece of form on the inside of the left fender and replaced the mounting bracket. They also placed the cowling on order.
(Tab B) In November 1999 I called Jack Schmitt in Belleville for an appointment and they could not get me in for two weeks so I called Jack Schmitt in Freeburg and was able to get an appointment the next day. Below is a list of problems I was having. I was provided a courtesy car.
1. The Oil Pump was noisy
2. Cowling around the windshield was bubbled.
3. Cruise Control module was making noise again. (2)
4. Side mirrors where faded and turning white.

Here is a list of work that was performed on the vehicle as indicated by their service ticket.

3. Deodorized the AC again
4. Replaced temp sensor
5. Replaced wiring connector at motor for sliding door.
As you can see I have been more than patient and tried to work with GM and the dealership about my on going problems with this vehicle. I tried to contact the General Manager for the dealership on four different occasions. Either he/she was not there or he/she would not return my phone calls.
Also, the service department has been truly tough to work with. When my wife brings in the vehicle they tell her they can't duplicate the problem or it is normal. When I bring in the vehicle they seem to find the problem and fix it. So once again we are shown that women know nothing and only the man knows about vehicles. The individual who sold me my vehicle no longer works for Jack Schmitt Chevrolet in O'Fallon.
I would like to know if TSB #01-08-51-004 applies to my vehicle, also what about the GM Dex-Col Class Action Lawsuit. I believe I fall under this Class Action Lawsuit. This would also explain the odor with the AC/Heater/Defroster. Also, I would like to have my van painted as indicated in a GM bulletin see Tab R.
Attached at Tab P is some of the e-mail traffic I have received from GM. Also, under Tab Q is the response from the dealership to U.S. Congressman Dale Kildee to try to get this issue resolve.
Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.
Very Respectfully,
John H. Wyatt

Perfect polishing medium
By Brandon Horwath
from Hemet, CA.
Used product to remove rust and buff bluing off daily use sidearm. Works great with tapered loose cotton buffing wheel, item #65001. Took some time to accomplish, and did 'spit' excess polishing medium on occasion. Made a bit of a mess around the working area. But the end product looks much better than when I first purchased the sidearm over 10 years ago.

Combined knitting
Combined knitting or combination knitting is a style that combines elements of Eastern-style knitting with the Western techniques. The name was suggested by Mary Thomas in her 1938 book "Mary Thomas's Knitting Book", where she described the technique as "..the better way to work in Flat Knitting. The resulting fabric is more even and closer in construction."[1] By wrapping the yarn the opposite way while purling, the knitter changes the orientation of the resulting loops; then the next row's knit stitches can be formed by inserting the needle through the back leg (as in Eastern knitting), rather than through the front leg, without twisting the stitch. This technique is suitable for all knitted fabrics from the basic Stockinette stitch, to any other style, such as Fair Isle, circular knitting, or lace knitting.
The basic adaptation necessary is to substitute "ssk" when directed to "k 2 tog", and vice versa, to orient the slant of the decrease correctly. Most American and European knitting patterns are currently not written to accommodate the needs of Combined knitters. The responsibility rests with the individual knitter to have gained sufficient working knowledge of the changes necessary to convert pattern elements before attempting the entire project, in order for the design to be knitted successfully.
Knitting instructors unfamiliar with this technique will encounter difficulties teaching classes with students using this technique. Proper terminology is essential in assisting teachers to provide adequate instruction to these students. Teachers should familiarize themselves with the works of Annie Modesitt and Anna Zilboorg, among others.
Other basic knitting techniques include English knitting (or "throwing") and Continental knitting (or "picking").

rabbittransit KICKS OFF DUMP THE PUMP MONTH WITH GIVEAWAY AT SOVEREIGN STADIUM
in an effort to raise awareness regarding transportation alternatives, rabbittransit announces June as "Dump the Pump Month". The kick-off event will take place at Sovereign Stadium in York this Sunday during the York Revolution and Somerset Patriots game. To promote the use of alternatives, rabbittransit will give away a new bicycle, a one-month pass and one 11-ride pass – all of which can be used for transportation on rabbittransit.
Well thats all very nice. A bicycle and a two bus passes. That'll really get a lot of people to 'dump the pump'.

Risk Assessment of Aluminum in Drinking Water between Two Residential Areas
AbstractA cross-sectional study was conducted at Sungai Lembing (SL) and Bukit Ubi (BU), Kuantan, Malaysia. The main objectives of this epidemiological study were to determine the aluminum concentration in drinking water, to compare with the government standard and to perform health risk assessment prediction among respondents from these two residential areas. A total of 100 respondents were selected from the study areas based on a few inclusive and exclusive criteria. Two duplicates of treated water samples were taken from each respondent's house using a 200 mL high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle and 0.4 mL (69%) pure concentrated nitric acid added as preservative. Aluminum concentrations were analyzed using Lambda 25 UV/V spectrophotometer. The result showed that the mean concentration of aluminum in drinking water from SL was 0.11 ± 0.0634 mg/L and 0.12 ± 0.0462 mg/L for BU. The mean value of Chronic Daily Intake (CDI) in SL (0.0035 ± 0.0028 mg/kg/day) was lower compared to BU (0.0037 ± 0.0021 mg/kg/day). The Hazard Index (HI) calculation showed all respondents had HI less than 1. In conclusion, there was unlikely potential for adverse health effects from aluminum intake in drinking water. However, it was necessary for some action to be taken in order to reduce aluminum levels found in drinking water in both locations.
