Now the transmission went yet again. I had it towed to the dealer to be told the entire transmission needs to be replaced at $4800. I calledd GM gave the rep my info she asked me the milage and I told her I wasn't sure it was probably 120,000 but she should confirm. after a week and numerous calls back and forth being told the car is not under warranty due to the high milage alone. I realize they never confirmed, after speaking to Rep #2 she tells me well we go by what you say. I called the dealer was told the car has 80,400 miles. I call rep #2 another week drones by and I am told the car is not under warranty because it's over 8 yrs old and no longer under warranty. However, they are being nice and will give me 50/50 split on the car repair.
I speak to rep #2 and she basically tells me well if you don't want to use the 50/50 split that we don't have to give you anyway. We'll give you $5,000 towards a new GM car. I decided to attempt to write to GM. Historically I have puchased 3 saturns and numerous GM cars. I though perhaps they'd see me as a valued customer. Apparently they didn't here is a quote from there email to me.
"Again, I have reviewed your Service Request 71-913451924 with the Saturn Customer Assistance Center. I support the decision that was previously made and communicated to you. I apologize that the decision was not in accordance with your wishes, however, this is the final decision of General Motors and we will no longer address additional communications on this subject. Please feel free to contact us again with any other concerns you may have outside of this issue"
So basically they car not for their customers. Now I have a $24,000 lawn ornatment that I can't do anything with. I have filed complaints with the BBB and Consumer Affrairs.
Oh the GM rep #3 told me they where going to be nice and give me 3 months to come up with $2,000++ for the repairs.
Thanks GM for making a Loyal customer decide to NEVER purchase another GM car/truck or part again. I will ensure that everyone I know is aware of horrible practices and service you provide.

MUSIC; Tasmin Little, the Violin Star Next Door
By MICHAEL WHITE
Published: November 9, 2003
LONDON— SOME star musicians take their stardom seriously. You don't just meet them; you're invited to approach and kiss the ring. But there are others, the more human kind, who simply laugh. And I can hear the laughter halfway down the street -- an otherwise sedate Edwardian boulevard in a West London suburb -- as I make my way to Tasmin Little's end-of-summer garden party.
High-pitched squeals come ricocheting through the open front door. And it's not just children, though there are enough of them. It's like a kindergarten: tiny writhing bodies everywhere. And keeping order, just barely, with plates of sausage rolls and a handful of baby wipes is the exuberantly cheerful (O.K., squealing) Tasmin Little. Housewife, mother, star violinist.
''Isn't it fantastic?'' she says. ''Have a sausage roll. No, Chloe, not there. . . .'' and she dashes off to stanch a tear or soothe a tantrum.
Back inside the house two invaluable violins, a Guadagnini and a famous Stradivarius (the Regent), are tucked safely away from prying fingers. And the only obvious indication of Ms. Little's public life (which, in the circumstances, you could easily forget) sits in a corner of the living room -- although it's such a curious-looking thing, it takes a while to figure out what it is.
It is in fact a music stand, but with the music on a computer screen rather than on paper. Page turns are controlled by electronic foot pads. And the whole contraption was put together by Ms. Little's husband, Mike Hatch (a recording engineer, handy with a screwdriver), as a solution to the peculiar problems of a work she plays with Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic on Wednesday at Carnegie Hall and next Sunday at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia.
The piece is the heart of a tour program that has already been performed in Berlin; Salzburg, Austria; and London. To celebrate the 80th birthday of the Hungarian composer Gyorgy Ligeti, Ms. Little plays his Violin Concerto: a modern masterwork acclaimed at its premiere 10 years ago but rarely heard since -- partly because it speaks on such a small, intimate scale that it doesn't deliver what audiences expect from a concerto, but also because that small scale asks for microcosmic virtuosity beyond the reach of most performers. It's Ms. Little's current speciality.
''But goodness me, it's hard,'' she says, with Chloe and the sausages entrusted to a nanny. ''Probably the hardest concerto ever written. And I know you could say that of other pieces, but believe me, I've never been confronted with anything more challenging, more complex or more difficult to learn. I pick things up fairly quickly, but when I first encountered this music, it took three solid months to get it under my fingers. And it's tough for the orchestra, too.''
Ms. Little first played it with Sir Simon conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
''We got to the end of the first movement, which is a 4-minute marathon that feels like 20, and Simon and I just looked at each other and sighed with relief that we'd made it through,'' she says. ''The end is crazy, too, because it finishes with a solo cadenza that Ligeti expects you to write yourself, which I've done. It leaves the piece in the soloist's hands except for a sudden orchestral cutoff, where the conductor more or less says: 'Right. That's quite enough of that. Goodbye.'
''But the basic problem from start to finish is that there's no time to turn the pages of the music, which is mostly fast, with cascades of notes. The last time I played it, I dismembered the score and stuck the bits on two sides of a huge piece of cardboard, but it looked like a children's craft project gone wrong. So now I'm trying my husband's invention here, and it's perfectly brilliant. I step on this pad to turn the page forward and this pad to turn it back -- which I hope won't be necessary in performance.''
Her enthusiasm for her husband's home mechanics is, like her enthusiasm for most things, loud and infectious. Small in stature (barely 5 foot 2), Ms. Little has a huge personality, though not a grand one. She's the girl next door writ large, avoiding the see-me-suffer-for-my-art approach of certain colleagues on the violin circuit. She has never cultivated the mystique of her contemporary Anne-Sophie Mutter (40 this year, against Ms. Little's 38). She doesn't have the soulful temperament of Maxim Vengerov or the moody teenage appeal of Joshua Bell.
There are, of course, disadvantages to being approachable and ordinary. For one, it won't attract the fees that Ms. Mutter gets. Then there's the risk of being dismissed as a lightweight, without gravitas.
''There was a time when people saw me as local English talent rather than someone out there in the world,'' Ms. Little says. ''But that's changed in the past few years. I think I've turned a corner. Between now and Christmas, only two of my concerts are in the United Kingdom. The rest are abroad. Next year about 50 percent are abroad.''
To say that she has turned a corner is an understatement. There was certainly a time when she looked like local entertainment: feisty, fun, an audience winner in a sparkly dress (her trademark). But she moved on. She acquired sophistication, depth, assurance, class. By any reckoning she now ranks with the Vengerovs, Mutters and Bells. And no violinist anywhere more effectively communicates the joy of playing.

Did you know: While all the NBC prime-time coverage of the Olympics comes out of Rio, about half of the total 6,800 hours of NBC-generated Olympics TV time is actually based on announcers calling the action off TV monitors in a giant studio in Stamford, Conn.
And more than half of the 30-odd sports covered are primarily a Stamford-generated broadcast.
While there are some 2,000 NBC employees in Rio, another 1,100-plus are at a 300,000-plus square foot facility about an hour south of ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., including anchors like CNBC's Fred Roggin, above, and rugby play-by-play man Bill Seward.
We'll talk to the two L.A.-based broadcasters about the experience, whether they're just as happy being there instead of in Rio and how they mentally gear themselves into the task at hand, whether the viewers at home realize what's happen and/or really care that much.
"So many of these sports, you're calling it off a monitor anyway, and the technology is such that it's a lot easier and it comes at no expense to the viewer to have these people in Stamford," said NBC Olympics executive producer Jim Bell. "So for us it's just a much smarter proposition overall if it doesn't impact our quality in any way and we can manage things more efficiently."

The Trotters were left shell-shocked at the Madejski Stadium as Adam Le Fondre scored three in the Royals' rout to increase the pressure on Wanderers boss Dougie Freedman.
It means Bolton remain just four points above the drop zone - after a disastrous start to the campaign - and facing the very real prospect of two relegations in three seasons if things do not improve quickly.
Their attention will first turn to the FA Cup, though, with Cardiff heading to the Reebok Stadium this Saturday and Spearing eyeing an instant response.
"We, as players, have to stand up and take responsibility because we haven't been good enough," the former Liverpool midfielder admitted to Wanderers' official website.
"I'd like to apologise to the fans. Not one of us were anywhere near our best.
"As a group of players, our mental strength has to improve. We're in it all together and we've got to hang in there. We've now got to move on and get on with it. There's nothing we can do about the game now.
"There are no positives to take from the game, it's as simple as that. We have to put it behind us and look to really improve ahead of the FA Cup game against Cardiff.
"Right now, it's very difficult to take, but we can't feel sorry for ourselves. We'll be straight back in training trying to put things right."

Nintendo has to suprise me again.I mean seriously,how many people could have predicted that the new controller would look more like a tv remote than the typical console control.The very first time that I saw it I was kinda angry.I told myself that I would probably get teased for buying it cause I would look like an idiot playing it.But after reading up on it and seeing video shown at the Japanese game show I thought differently.Kinda like the feeling that I had when Nintendo first anounced the DS.I am still sceptical of what will happen when the system launches.But I must admit that if Nintendo's goal is to change the way we play games,then they are already one step ahead of the rest.So tell me what do you think?
Comments (4)
My ThoughtsPosted: Oct 04, 2005 12:00AM PST by MCash583
I thought the controller looked weird at first too. However, after reading the article about it here, I felt a little relieved. I was unsure about having to play with the controller like a remote, but then the suggestion of turning it sideways like a normal controller sounded like a good alternative way to play. And now it seems like we won't have to worry about getting up to turn off the Revolution since there's a power button on the controller. This'll probably make people more lazy, but oh well. :P
you're rightPosted: Oct 06, 2005 12:00AM PST by linkfreak
The idea of flipping the controller sideways is cool.But the controller sleeve's that will be made to fit over the Rev's controller to play snes,64,and Gamecube games exite me the most.Cause I still play all of the oldschool Nintendo games..
I was scepticalPosted: Oct 16, 2005 12:00AM PST by King_Ding_A_Lin'
Until I saw how it can be used and possiblities now I can wait for the revolution.
P.S.: Get used of it now cause how 5yrs. from now the ps4 and xbox720 will use it is well.
As usual it takes NintendoPosted: Nov 14, 2005 12:00AM PST by Primemega-Twine
Well, Im a bit late but as said above, Nintendo is AGAIN gonna leave tha comp. behind as they leave their own creation of the two handed pad to move CLOSER to virtual reality....I mean come on....do ya have to be DUMB to not see what Nintendo ALWAYS does....For God sakes...EVERY step Nintendo makes...tha FAKERS take it to.....
So COME ON NINTENDO, LAY DAT SHIZZ DOWN FOR ALL A DEM TO BE JEALOUS OF...LOLOLOLOL !!!!!!

Pictures: Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor's journey of love!
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor fell for each other during the shooting of Tashan. Before meeting Saif, Kareena Kapoor was romantically involved with Shahid Kapoor. There were rumours that the Saif-Kareena affair was just a publicity stunt for the Shahid-Kareena starrer Jab We Met. But Saif Ali Khan later admitted in a fashion show event that he is dating Kareena Kapoor.
Reports of affair between Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan first surfaced when the two were shooting for Yash Raj Films Tashan on locales in Ladakh and Rajasthan. Then came the news that Kareena celebrated her 27th birthday with Saif Ali Khan. However, Saif and Kareena did not accept their relation then.
The day when Saif accepted his relation with Kareena he told the media, "For the time being all I am comfortable with saying is that we are together. I think the media is giving too much attention to this. Kareena and I are here and are happy with each other we are not exactly shouting from the rooftops."
Here are Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor journey of love in pictures.

MIAMI (AP) -- The National Hurricane Center's director says it could take tens of millions of dollars for research and up to 10 years if officials want to substantially reduce errors in forecasting the intensity of hurricanes.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Bill Read (REED') said reducing by half the errors made in determining intensity would be a costly and long-term effort.
Intensity forecasts are much harder for meteorologist than track predictions.
Read also talked about the sensitive issue of a link between global warming and hurricanes. Read acknowledged that while people who model storms largely suggest global warming is real and going to get worse, they differ on the possible effects on hurricanes.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Design Considerations for a Micromachined Proportional Control Valve
AbstractPrecise mass flow control is an essential requirement for novel, small-scale fluidic systems. However, a small-volume, low-leakage proportional control valve for minute fluid flows has not yet been designed or manufactured. A survey is therefore made of the primary design considerations of a micromachined, proportional control valve. Performance requirements are identified based on various applications. Valve operating principles and actuation schemes presented in the literature are evaluated with respect to functionality and technological feasibility. Proceeding from these analyses, we identify the design concepts and actuation schemes that we think are best suited for the fabrication of the intended microvalve.

Musicians stage tribute to America's first professional composer
Even if you haven't heard of Stephen Foster, you've heard his music. "Oh! Susanna" and "Camptown Races" are among the first songs a child hears and learns. Unforgettable melodies, and their place in the public domain, ensure that they have endured, in schools, in toys, in movies and commercials, 160-plus years after Foster wrote them.
Foster is thought to have been the country's first professional composer, and his songs were immensely popular during his lifetime. But the music publishing market soured during the Civil War, and Foster died Jan. 13, 1864, at 37, struggling with a fever and a head injury in his final days, with just 38 cents in his pocket. »Read Full Article

Reba McEntire to LGBT Community: 'I've Got Your Back'
Reba McEntire made a video appearance at the Nashville Concert for Love and Acceptance concert last week, telling Ty Herndon and all in attendance: "I've got your back."
Reba McEntire made a video appearance at the Nashville Concert for Love and Acceptance concert last week, telling Ty Herndon and all in attendance: "I've got your back."
Reba McEntire is using social media to keep fans updated on the health of her big brother, Pake, who suffered a stroke on May 14.
Reba McEntire brother, Pake McEntire, is recovering from a stroke, and the 60-year-old is keeping her fans in the know about his progress.
Reba McEntire is asking her fans for their prayers after her older brother suffered a stroke.
You don't get to be a reigning queen of country music without seeing your fair share of unusual sights. Country superstar Reba McEntire is no exception.
Reba McEntire has made a name for herself with her bold, honest songs and down-to-earth charm. However, the talented songstress revealed that she isn't entirely fearless.
Kelly Clarkson had a special honor during the 50th ACM Awards ceremony: the opportunity to present her mother-in-law Reba McEntire with a Milestone Award.
Reba McEntire changed outfits more times for her Love Somebody photo shoot than she did when she was hosting the ACM Awards, but each new look was worth it. See what she and her team came up with, and how they came up with it, in this behind the scenes video.
Reba McEntire released "Pray for Peace" on Facebook long before any hint of her new album Love Somebody. The inspirational song dropped last July, but until now fans weren't able to see all that went into the recording.
Six weeks before Reba McEntire released Love Somebody, the singer and her management team invited two dozen media members to hear some of the songs from her first studio album in nearly five years. McEntire and Big Machine Label Group CEO Scott Borchetta started by telling the story of how the Nash Icon record label partnership was — more or less — created for her.
There's one song on Reba McEntire's new Love Somebody album that truly took her breath away. "Just Like Them Horses," a ballad penned by Liz Hengber and Tommy Lee James, reminded the singer of her father. In fact she originally wanted the song for his funeral.
The 1990s changed everything about country music.

Monitoring with Nagios: New Online Training from the Linux Magazine Academy
In partnership with technology business solutions provider Netways, Linux Magazine Academy now offers online training for the Nagios monitoring infrastructure.
Nuremberg, Munich, November 9, 2010: Over the course of 13 videos, newcomers to IT network monitoring can now obtain comprehensive training in professional monitoring using Nagios. In addition to covering basics such as installation, configuration, and monitoring Linux and Unix computers on the network, the training delivers the comprehensive know-how for add-on programs such as NagVis and Netways' EventDB.
Training is delivered via a clear web interface, with the trainer's monitor shown simultaneously with his or her presentation video. In essence, the trainee has an over-the-shoulder view of the instructor's command-line examples. The trainee can even pause and repeat training sessions at any time.
Linux Magazine (called Linux Pro Magazine in North America) selected Netways IT business solutions provider as its Nagios training partner. The Nuremberg company not only specializes in consulting and training in the open source sphere, but is also active in the free software developer community. Netways has also become internationally renowned for its annual Open Source Monitoring Conference (OSMC) events.
Linux Magazine and the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) announced the Linux Magazine Academy last month. The Academy provides online seminars for the globally recognized LPIC certifications. In cooperation with distribution-independent exam provider LPI, the Linux Magazine Academy is currently offering two courses to prepare for the LPIC-1 exam. LPIC book author and professional trainer Ross Brunson was chosen as the instructor for the courses.
The "Monitoring with Nagios" online training costs 379 Euros. An introductory offer of 299 Euros (US $419 or GB £259) is good up to December 15, 2010. A free demo is available at academy.linux-magazine.com.

Educational Attainment is Strongly Correlated to All Types of Political and Civic Engagement
Ohio Civic Health Index 2010
November 8, 2010
People with higher levels of education are more likely to volunteer their time, vote, donate money, participate in a protest or a rally, lead civic associations and groups, join an organization, attend a meeting where political issues are discussed, contact or visit a public official, show support to a political party or candidate, and communicate with friends and family through email or the Internet.
An educated community is more likely to work for the common good. For example, in Ohio, working with neighbors to x something in the community is correlated to educational attainment:
High school diploma (or GED) 5.9%
Some college (no BA/BS) 9.2%
Bachelor's degree 19.3%
*ages 25+
Leaders of civic associations and community groups also come more frequently from the ranks of college graduates. Among Americans over 24 with no college experience, only 3.5% are leaders, compared to 13.5% of Americans with at least some college experience. Educated Ohioans are also more likely to vote than their less educated counterparts. The 2008 election clearly demonstrates this relationship (see figure above).
Ohio's volunteering rates reect a similar correlation between education and volunteering:
High school diploma (or GED) 20.4%
Some college, no BA/BS 34.2%
Bachelor's degree 51.5%
*ages 25+
The problem is Ohio's educational attainment rate: We have fewer college graduates than most other states, ranking 44th in the nation, as we pointed out. The only states with fewer college graduates are, in descending order, Nevada, Missouri, West Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
Because Ohio's collective problems are not declining, fewer college graduates in Ohio may result in declines in participation and in a citizenry less likely to solve our problems. The Ohio office of Budget and Management projects a $3 billion shortfall for the state in the 2012 scal year. Residents of Ohio communities will face tough decisions about cutting services, increasing taxes, or even ending benet payments. Education helps individuals solve problems together, reach consensus, and creatively address these and many other issues facing Ohio today.

This Saab story is one in a million
Traveling salesman from Glendale rides trusty vehicle to extraordinary milestone
Not long after his divorce, Peter Gilbert treated himself to a new sports car - a Saab 900 SPG, which stands for Special Performance Group.
Seventeen years and more than 1 million miles later, Gilbert donated his car to the Wisconsin Automotive Museum. The car survived eight deer collisions, including one that punched a hole in the radiator, before it was parked for safekeeping at the museum in Hartford.
"I couldn't kill that many deer with a gun," said Gilbert, a financial services salesman from Glendale.
Saab, the Swedish car-maker that's a division of General Motors, verified the high mileage on Gilbert's car last summer. Almost everything on the vehicle was original equipment, except for the front hoods and other parts that were replaced after the car-deer collisions.
Gilbert was meticulous about vehicle maintenance, including regular oil changes with premium, synthetic oil. He replaced the car's transmission at about 200,000 miles, but beyond that the engine was hardly touched.
"I knew someone who put 2.5 million miles on a Volvo, but the engine was rebuilt several times," Gilbert said.
Originally from Britain, Gilbert fell in love with Saabs when the cars were winning European road rallies in the 1960s. His trusty 900 SPG was no slouch, either, having once clocked 135 mph at the Road America race track in Elkhart Lake.
"I was taking the lead in a race for a while," Gilbert recalled.
A long journey
That was the same car he drove seven days a week, 365 days a year, racking up extreme mileage in his business travel across rural Wisconsin.
"When I hit 600,000 miles, the car still wasn't burning oil. That's when I thought it could go a million miles," Gilbert said.
But Wisconsin winters, and road salt, took their toll on the sporty little car. While its exterior still looked pretty good, the frame had rusted to the point where it might not have been safe in a serious collision.
"There was no point in driving the car any longer, even though it might have gone another million miles," Gilbert said.
With some sadness, he donated the car to the museum, which has some rare vehicles such as the "Kissel," manufactured in Hartford from 1906 to 1931, and a Nash built in Kenosha in 1916.
For Gilbert, turning over the car's keys to the museum was like putting an elderly family member in a nursing home.
"But I know where the car is, and I can visit," he said. "And before I took her to the museum, I had a full detail job done. She was like a bride getting ready for her wedding. It was the first time that her carpets were thoroughly cleaned in 17 years."
Saab showed some interest in the car and videotaped it when the odometer rolled over the 1-million-mile mark, at a Saab owners' convention in Lake George, N.Y., in August.
Saab executives rode in the car and discussed putting it in their museum in Sweden. Gilbert hoped they would give him a new car, as a replacement, but he didn't get so much as a T-shirt from Saab.
"I am a little disappointed in them," he said.
Maintenance pays off
Putting a million miles on a car, while unusual, is possible with stellar maintenance and a little luck.
"People who get tremendous longevity from a vehicle almost always have taken great care of it," said Joe Wiesenfelder, senior producer for Cars.com, a Web page for car enthusiasts.
To extend the life of his Saab, Gilbert said, he always used premium, synthetic motor oil.
Not everyone agrees that synthetic oil helps. Regular motor oil, changed at 3,000-mile intervals, could be just as good, according to some mechanics.
Most of the things that will make a car last longer aren't very expensive, said Kathleen Schmatz, president of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, a trade group.
"The problem is that some people take better care of their sweaters than their cars," she said.
Certain brands of cars, such as Lexus and Acura, are known for reliability. But that's not the same as longevity.
Driving habits are important if you want a car to last for hundreds of thousands of miles.
"I think the single most important thing is not to drive the car hard," Wiesenfelder said. "Anyone who is gradual on the gas pedal and easy on the brakes is limiting friction, shock and other things that cause wear."
Today's cars are built better than ever, and many of them could last for decades.
"A big part of this is a willingness to keep putting money into a vehicle," Wiesenfelder said.
Gilbert paid $29,000 for his Saab, which he bought on Nov. 30, 1989. He replaced it with another one that has far fewer miles.
"There's nothing more to prove," he said about reaching a million miles on one car.
Peter Gilbert's car
A 1989 Saab 900 SPG with 1,001,385 miles.
In 17 years the car used more than 600 quarts of synthetic Mobil-1 motor oil, which can travel significantly more miles between oil changes than regular oil.
In its time, the car burned two tanker-truck-loads of premium gasoline and averaged about 28 mpg.
It went through about 22 sets of tires, changed every 45,000 miles.
The transmission was replaced at about 200,000 miles, but the engine was largely untouched.
The engine head gasket was replaced three times because constant warming and cooling stretched it.

A few words from Elizabeth Larson....
Megan and Will's wedding festivities were held at the gorgeous King Family Vineyard just west of Charlottesville. The outdoor ceremony offered fantastic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, also making for a scenic backdrop for photos of the wedding party and families later. Megan and Will also requested a few photos to be taken at the horse stable, which was such a treat (they are both animal lovers...Megan is a veterinarian!).
The carriage house, where the reception was held, is both elegant and rustic at the same time, with tall ceilings, exposed beams, a huge stone fireplace, and beautiful hardwood oak floors. The decor and flowers created by Beehive Events were amazing! I absolutely ADORED the wedding programs, which doubled as fans, a great idea for an outdoor summer wedding. Will and Megan had an artist friend create silhouettes of the two of them, as well as of their two beloved cats printed on their programs.
Everything from the fabulous cuisine, to the fantastic band, to the home brewed "celebration amber ale" and the "celebration i.p.a." (made by the groom!), to the tasty wedding cake served with gelato an Italian ice cream, made for a truly fabulous one of a kind celebration!
Megan and Will met at the University of Virginia while in physics class as underclassman, so the university has special memories for them both. They continued a long distance relationship after graduation while Will was in medical school at The Medical College of Virginia and Megan at veterinary school at Kansas State University. The Charlottesville area meant so much to them as a couple, it was only fitting they chose this area of VA for their wedding. Since their wedding, they've settled into new careers and a new home. They reside in Madison, Wisconsin.

Okay, does that mean that the way a library is linked is determined only by the library and not by the way I actual code it? If it does I got it :>.
I didn't know that a library "sets itself" to static/dynamic. Maybe I should get information about DLL's in general.
With this, kept in mind the following sentence I found on SDL site makes sense to me, because now I know that this resulting the dll being a dynamic one.
And if I want to know if a library is dynamic or static I have to examine the library itself.
Helped me a lot. Thank you
Can I use SDL in a commercial application?
Yes! If you link dynamically (via .dll's, .so's or using other dynamic linking devices) then you do not need to to anything. If you link statically (include the SDL source inside your project when you compile) you have to provide some way for your customer to relink your application a custom version of SDL.

Hi all!
I'd like to use different stylesheets for each post on a blog with multiple authors, so I can basically "skin" each post on the main page (single posts also) with each author's "colors".
So for example, if I have two authors - lets call them yellow guy and blue girl - I want all yellow guys' posts on the main page appear yellowish and all blue girl's blueish.
Is it possible to have different posts on the homepage each obey its own stylesheet, depending on some kind of author variable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is new territory for me and I haven't exactly got the PHP skillz of a genius ;)
Looking forward to your replies!

Lesher had faith in Silver
July 23, 2013
8:49 am
By Rob Carrigan
In 1873, the nation's currency was placed on the gold standard. By 1893, the U.S. Government stopped buying silver all together. The price of silver plummeted as a result, and Colorado's economy fell, head-over-heels down a mineshaft.
With the destruction of the silver market, came the rise of Populist-Democratic politics in Colorado and the advocacy of return to bi-metalism via the free-silver movement.
Joseph Lesher, a veteran miner of the silver camps of Georgetown, Central City, Leadville and the Silver San Juans, had by a stroke of fortune, switched metals at just the right time. But he wasn't happy about it.
Lesher invested in infrastructure and real estate in Victor and the Cripple Creek area in the early days of the "world's greatest gold camp." And he had become, according to the Victor Daily Record, "one of the monied men of the camp."
But, noted the Record, "Mr. Lesher has faith in silver. He also has a sincere desire for its enlarged use."
He also still owned a silver mine in Central City.
"Mr. Lesher had believed that it would be possible as well as beneficial for Colorado the coin its depreciated silver and use it to facilitate exchange and promote business," said the November 13, 1900, Record.
To such ends, Lesher and others in Victor came to the following conclusion.
"Victor has everything any other city has. Denver has a mint, so a Victor man has established a mint also. The Victor mint will coin nothing but silver dollars and the dollars will be worth 25 cents more than the Denver product."
Thus, the Lesher Referendum Medal was born.
According to research Adna G. Wilde, of the American Numismatic Association in Colorado Springs, between 3,000 and 3,500 of the Lesher medals of different types were struck. The research involved interviews by Farran Zerbe of the of the American Numismatic Society and Lesher himself in 1914 (when Lesher was 74 years old.)
Once again, as reported in the Record, "He calls them 'referendum dollars' because no one is compelled to take them against his will. In other words, they are referred to the people for acceptance or rejection."
"Although Mr. Lesher is convinced that the intrinsic value of an ounce of silver is $1.29, he does not insist that everyone shall accept his valuation and is prepared to guarantee the parity of his dollars by redeeming each coin in lawful money of the United States. He keeps his cash at the Bank of Victor and expects to arrange with the cashier to cash the 'referendum' dollars in the same manner that checks are cashed."
Today, examples of the first 100 Lesher 'Referendum' medals struck that first day in Lesher's residence in Victor, grace such prestigious collections as the Chase Manhattan Money Museum at the Smithsonian and of course, the American Numismatic Museum in Colorado Springs. Adna Wilde, Jr. of Colorado Springs is the recognized world authority on Lesher dollars and an ANA Hall of Famer.
