Suggested Reading on the Missouri Brigade and the War in Missouri
This list does not pretend to be complete or particularly current since many new books have come out since this list was originally prepared, and I haven't read many at all! For a more complete list, see Blue & Grey Book Shoppe in Independence, MO or Civil War St. Louis Bookstore
This Bibliography covers Histories of the famed Missouri Confederate Brigade, the Guerrilla War & Border Troubles, the War in the Ozarks, Major Missouri Battles, Biographies, Miscellaneous Missouri CW Sources, and Other Books about/by Missouri Confederates.
This list was compiled by & comments written by Bill Wayne
Books about the 1st & 2nd Missouri Confederate Brigades,or its/their component units, who served east of the Mississippi after the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern (Pea Ridge) in March 1862. After Vicksburg, there was one Missouri Brigade.
Best Source: Gottschalk, Phil, In Deadly Earnest, The Missouri Brigade (1991). A well-written and well-researched history by a respected Missouri journalist. Describes leadership & actions of the Brigade(s) from Boonville to Ft. Blakeley & places them in the perspective of campaigns & the war as a whole.
Anderson, Ephraim McD., Memoirs, Historical and Personal; including the Campaigns of the First Missouri Confederate Brigade (1867). Excellent 1st person history of the Missouri Brigade from Carthage to Vicksburg, secondary source to Ft. Blakeley.
Bevier, R.S., History of the First and Second Missouri Confederate Brigades (1879). Another fine first person source, written by the Lt. Col. of the 5th Missouri Infantry. Again, a primary source only through Vicksburg, secondary thereafter.
Tucker, Phillip Thomas, The South's Finest, the First Missouri Brigade from Pea Ridge to Vicksburg (1993). A very well researched book with lots of anecdotes about Brigade members, but writing style is overblown & detracts from the Tucker's serious scholarship.
Tucker, Phillip Thomas, Westerners In Gray: The Men & Missions of the Elite Fifth Missouri Infantry Regiment (1995). In the same style as his Brigade history, covering part of the same time frame (fall '62 to Vicksburg). Good source for info on specific individuals and events for first person character work.
Tucker, Phillip Thomas, The Confederacy's Fighting Chaplain, Father John B. O'Bannon. Father O'Bannon was chaplain of the Fifth Mo Infantry. I haven't read this work, but it has been criticized for being more about the 5th than Father O'Bannon, which might make it of more value to a unit researcher.
Books about the guerrilla war in Missouri and the border:
Best Source: Brownlee, Richard S., Gray Ghosts of the Confederacy (1958). Excellent coverage of the war years, but not much coverage of pre-war actions.
Monaghan, Jay, Civil War on the Western Border, 1854-1865 (1955). The original history of the border & guerrilla wars, done in sensationalist style. Not always accurate.
Fellman, Michael, Inside War, the Guerrilla Conflict in Missouri During the American Civil War (1988). A scholarly study of causes and effects if the guerrilla war. Won't pinpoint skirmishes but will show attitudes.
Goodrich, Thomas, Black Flag, Guerrilla Warfare on the Western Border, 1861-1865 (1995). I have this in my library but haven't gotten around to reading it.
Goodrich, Thomas, Bloody Dawn, The Story of the Lawrence Massacre (1991). A highly readable account of Quantrill's raid. One Kansan told me after reading it, "you know, they (the partisans) were provoked."
Castel, Albert & Thomas Goodrich, Bloody Bill Anderson, The Short, Savage Lifge of a Civil War Guerilla (1998). I've not read this yet, but both authgors are excellent historians.
Nichols, Alice, Bleeding Kansas (1954). A good source for the border troubles from 1854 to 1861.
Books about war in the Ozarks:
Ingenthron, Elmo, Borderland Rebellion (1980). Covers the war on the Missouri-Arkansas border.
Steele, Phillip W. & Steve Cottrell, Civil War in the Ozarks (1993). A concise history.
White, Katherine Miles, Bitter Ground, the Civil War in the Golden Valley (1971). Anecdotes and history about the war in Benton, Henry & St. Clair counties.
Missouri Area Battle & Campaign Histories
Wilson Creek (Oak Hills to us rebs)
Bearss, Edwin C. The Battle of Wilson's Creek (1988). Account of a key Missouri battle written by the dean of CW historians.
Brooksher, William R., Bloody Hill, the Civil War Battle of Wilson's Creek (1995). Covers the whole campaign including detailed accounts of battles at Boonville, Cole Camp, Carthage & Dug Springs.
Pea Ridge (Elkhorn Tavern)
Shea, William L. & Earl J. Hess, Pea Ridge, Civil War Campaign in the West (1992). Detailed account of the complete campaign.
Price's 1864 Raid
Peterson, Cyrus A. & Joseph M. Hanson, Pilot Knob, Thermopylae of the West (1914). The only detailed account I've found of this phase of Price's 1864 Raid.
Monnett, Howard N., Action Before Westport, 1864 (1964). Culminating battle, called by some the largest battle of the Trans-Mississippi
Buresh, Lumir, The Battle of Mine Creek (1977). Good detailed account of the end of Price's attempt to recapture Missouri.
Castel, Albert, General Sterling Price and the Civil War in the American West (1968). A military biography of Gen. Price by a leading historian of the area.
Shalhope, Robert, Sterling Price, Portrait of a Southerner (1971). Better on his full life & background, not as thorough on the war.
Rea, Ralph R., Sterling Price, the Lee of the West (1959). Rea's grandfather served under & idolized Price – it affects this biography.
Hurt, R. Douglas, Agriculture & Slavery in Missouri's Little Dixie (1992). An excellent source for the 1st person fanatic who really wants to understand his background as a farmer/planter.
Bartels, Carolyn, The Civil War in Missouri Day by Day, 1861-1865 (1992). A massive extraction from O.R. of what went on every day of the war in Missouri. Also has a location index.
Other Notable Books by Missouri Veterans
Edwards, John Newman, Shelby and His Men (1867). Edwards was a newspaperman & Shelby's Adjutant, so the account is both florid & partisan. Recently reprinted.
Edwards, John Newman, Noted Guerrillas (1877)
Mudd, Joseph A., With Porter in North Missouri (1909). Covers author's experiences in summer of 1862.
Other Authors & Subjects:
This bibliography does not cover Federal subjects, including Wiley Britton's books describing the war in the area from a Union viewpoint, biographies of Lyon, Leslie Ander's regimentals on the 18th & 21st MO (US), or any Kansas or Iowa regimentals.

text: After moving to Florida in December, 2004, I located the Left Behind After Suicide (LBAS) Support Group and found immediate connectedness with others there. I want to provide such an atmosphere to others as they work through their loss and grief. HALOS brings that desire to fruition. I attended peer facilitation of a suicide survivor support group training offered by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in 2006.I have received many gifts, blessings and miracles in my life. Many I recognize now to a much greater degree since Natalie's death. There's nothing good nor bad about that, it's just how it is. I now want to share all of my experiences and support others to bring forth their own healing, peace and serenity.

Some area residents said they used Super Bowl Sunday as an excuse to get together to watch, or talk, as the New England Patriots took the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XXXIX.
American Legion Post 19 in Conchas held a pregame chili cook-off and patrons of the Pow Wow Lounge in Tucumcari watched the big game on two televisions and a large projected image on the lounge wall.
Veda Jenkins won first prize and $25 in the American Legion post's seventh-annual chili cook-off. Doris Johnson said about 30 Conchas residents lounged at the post throughout Sunday afternoon into the evening.
"Every now and then you would hear a comment about the game, but mostly it was just people socializing," Johnson said. "In addition to the seven chili entries we served fried chicken, jalapeno cornbread and brownies and cookies."
American Legion member Vern Miller said he was more of a NASCAR fan than a football fan.
"The Super Bowl party gives me a chance to have some beers with friends," he said.
Fans at the American Legion post and at the Pow Wow Lounge were fairly evenly divided as to what team they were rooting for. Jason Barnes and his friend Patrick Fulp watched the game at the Pow Wow. Barnes said he and his friend had a friendly wager between themselves.
"I like the Eagles. They want the win more badly," Barnes said. "New England has already won it before."
Barnes lost his wager.
Nancy Primrose, a server at the Pow Wow, said the Super Bowl party rated a "10."
"Some people were so into the game you would have thought they were outdoors at a football game," Primrose said. "We had close to 50 locals and out-of-town motel guests. Prizes were given away for each score."
The American Legion Post's bartender, Judy Hermanson, echoed a few other post members in saying their party was more about visiting with friends than the football game.
"To tell you the truth, I could care less about the Super Bowl," she said.
The Patriots won 24-21.

in january i had abdominal etching. im only 60 kgs and to be honest i havnt workd my ab muscles. i do like the result but for some reason i still feel fat. mainly at night after eating. what i want to know is that does the proceedure still involved lipo suction in other areas that arnt etched? i get confused when they say that it leaves the surrrounding fat alone. or does that area still involve lipo? will strenghening my abs be the answr?
Abdominal Lipo and Still Feel Fat?
Doctor Answers 3
Liposuction of the abdomen with liposculpture - Los Angeles
Liposuction will help contour areas of treatment. The surrounding areas may still respond to diet and exercise. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Abdominal Lipo and Still Feel Fat?
Thank you for your question. Increasing the size of your abdomen. Muscles will help, but etching them provides the definition but there will still be some fat present. Combine good exercise, healthy food, and you should maximize your procedure. I hope this helps.
Still feel fat after abdominal liposuction
Liposculpture is SIMPLY CAREFULLY DONE LIPOSUCTION. All liposuction should be carefully done of course. In all of liposuction....100%.........tumescent fluid is added. Next is application of ultrasonic energy to melt the fat. Next is actual small cannula extraction of the fat. A skilled and experienced surgeon can get great results using simply small cannulas and with or with out ultrasound but the ultrasound systems from Vaser are a nice help to patient and surgeon. 90% of the worlds liposuction is done with no high tech assist and done very well usually. Then why the Vaser. The Vaser melting of some of the fat is like very very gentle dynamite in a rock quarry. Th fat is gently broken up and this makes small cannula extraction of fat very easy with no jolting or stabbing thrusts. The patient experiences less pain in the area and the surgeon's shoulder is more comfortable. The bonus is that the skin MAY even shrink a little better using the Vaser or other high tech systems.

Hypercalcemia, the identifiable result of hyperparathyroidism, also leads to the most important clinical complications. The body is able to compensate for slowly increasing calcium levels but eventually becomes overcome with calcium excess and phosphorus deficiency. Since the bones hold the majority of the body's calcium, extracellular hypercalcemia is a result of demineralization of the bones. The calcium in the bones is replaced by cysts and fibrous tissue, thus leading to severe osteoporosis (reduction of bone mass per volume) and osteopenia (diminished bone tissue). Increased levels of extracellular calcium may be deposited in the soft tissues of the body and the kidney and lead to renal calculi, renal insufficiency, urinary tract infections, and eventually, renal failure. Hypercalcemia can also trigger the increased secretion of gastrin, which leads to peptic ulcer disease. Other GI dysfunctions that may result include cholelithiasis and pancreatitis.
Primary hyperparathyroidism, which leads to the enlargement of at least one of the parathyroid glands, occurs in more than 85% of the cases because of a single benign adenoma (neoplasm of glandular epithelium). Other causes include genetic disorders and endocrine cancers such as pancreatic or pituitary cancers. Patients who have had head or neck radiation are also at increased risk. Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs when a source for hypocalcemia occurs outside the parathyroid gland, thus stimulating the parathyroid glands to overproduce PTH. These conditions include chronic renal failure, rickets, vitamin D deficiency, and laxative abuse.
Nursing care plan assessment and physical examination
Many patients are asymptomatic. Early symptoms are polyuria (large amounts of urine), anorexia, and constipation, as well as weakness, fatigue, drowsiness, and lethargy. As the hypercalcemia increases, abdominal pain (from peptic ulcer disease), nausea, and vomiting are typical. The patient may report generalized bone pain and may have had recent fractures from what appeared to be little cause.
Little definitive data can be obtained in a physical examination. Hypertension is common, and if the patient is on digitalis, there may be a significantly lowered pulse rate, which signals increased sensitivity to the drug. Muscle atrophy and depressed tendon reflexes are late signs of hypercalcemia. The patient may have marked muscle weakness and atrophy (particularly in the legs) and skeletal deformities. If the central nervous system is affected, there will be changes in mental status, such as confusion, disorientation, and even coma. Palpation of even grossly enlarged parathyroid glands is generally impossible because of their location.
The hypercalcemic patient or the significant others may note memory changes, confusion, irritability, and symptoms of depression or paranoia (or both). The psychological clinical manifestations may range from mild to acute psychosis, or possibly paranoid hallucinations. The patient and significant others may be understandably upset or anxious about the changes in the patient's behavior.
Nursing care plan primary nursing diagnosis: Activity intolerance related to fatigue, muscle weakness, and bone pain.
Nursing care plan intervention and treatment plan
Surgical removal of the parathyroid glands is the only definitive treatment and is the treatment of choice for primary hyperparathyroidism. Indications for surgery include symptoms resulting from hypercalcemia, nephrolithiasis, reduced bone mass, serum calcium level in excess of 12 mg/dL, age younger than 50 years, and infeasibility of long-term follow-up. If hyperplasia (proliferation of normal cells) of the glands is excessive, all but one-half of one gland is removed because only a small amount of glandular tissue is necessary to maintain appropriate levels of PTH. The individual who has had all four glands removed will quickly become hypoparathyroid and must be treated accordingly. To prevent postoperative deficits of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, the patient may need either IV or oral supplements. Bone pain may subside as soon as 3 days after surgery, but renal dysfunction may be irreversible.
Nonsurgical management includes medications to assist in the excretion of calcium by the kidneys. Medical therapy, however, has not been shown to affect the clinical outcome of primary hyperparathyroidism. Postmenopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism may receive estrogen replacement therapy. The patient may be placed on a low–vitamin D diet that is high in calories, but calcium restrictions are generally not beneficial. To increase calcium excretion, the patient needs a large fluid intake, at least 2 to 3 L per day, and 8 to 10 g of salt per day. Foods high in fiber will assist the patient to have normal bowel function.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is managed by treating the underlying cause; either vitamin D therapy, prednisone, or aluminum hydroxide may be used, depending on the underlying cause of the disorder.
Generally, increase the patient's mobility, protect the patient from injury, monitor for possible complications, and provide patient education. Provide comfort measures for bone and joint pain. Increased activity limits further bone demineralization. Moderate weight-bearing activities are more beneficial to the patient than either range-of-motion exercises in bed or chair rest. Patients with hyperparathyroidism may be weak and at risk for falls and trauma. If the patient is hospitalized, maintain safety measures.
If the patient is recovering from a parathyroidectomy, the most life-threatening complication is airway compromise, either from swelling or from acute hypocalcemia. Keep emergency intubation and tracheostomy equipment in a readily available location. Notify the surgeon immediately if the patient develops respiratory distress, stridor, neck swelling, or hoarseness because of laryngeal nerve damage. Maintain the patient in a semi-Fowler position to decrease postoperative edema. If the patient develops tingling in the hands and around the mouth, notify the surgeon and obtain serum calcium levels if prescribed to determine if tetany is beginning.
As with many endocrine disorders, the patient may be frustrated with the clinical manifestations of the disease and require frequent reassurance. Reassure the patient that most of the symptoms will reverse with the return of normal calcium levels. Assist the patient in identifying stressors and methods of coping with the stressors.
Nursing care plan discharge and home health care guidelines
Teach the patient about the disease process and the signs and symptoms of calcium imbalance. Stress that the symptoms require immediate medical attention. Describe any dietary considerations, including a diet low in calcium with limitation and avoidance of milk products. If the patient is on potassium-depleting diuretics, note that a diet high in potassium-rich foods (apricots, fresh vegetables, citrus fruits) is necessary if no potassium supplements are prescribed. In addition, a diet with adequate fiber and fluid will aid normal bowel function. Teach the action, dosage, route, and side effects of all medications. If the patient has a surgical incision, describe incisional care and arrange for a follow-up visit with the surgeon. Instruct the patient on the appropriate activity level. Note that recalcification of the bones will take some time. If the patient maintains mobility, recalcification will be increased. Suggest that the patient avoid bedrest; encourage the patient to space activity throughout the day and use the energy levels as a guide to activity. Remind the patient to avoid contact sports or other activities that place her or him at risk for falls or fractures.

- The opening stages of the Chevy Bolt vs. Model 3 war are beginning as the automobile industry looks to sell pure EVs at a larger scale.
- The first shipments of the all-electric Bolt are already on their way to California after being built in Orion Township, Michigan. Sales in Oregon and California are expected to start before the end of the year.
- JPMorgan sizes up the situation in a fresh note backing its negative view (Sell, $180 PT) on Tesla Motors (TSLA) and discussing its meeting with GM execs.
- JP: "We expect it will become increasingly more difficult for Tesla to profitably compete against an improving array of electric vehicles from automakers which are pricing such vehicles with the aim not to turn a profit but rather to sell in sufficient volume to subsidize the rest of their more lucrative portfolios of internal combustion engine vehicles from a regulatory compliance perspective."
- Tesla's Model 3 introduction will follow in 2017 or 2018 depending upon which analysis you bank on. And while the precise number of Model 3 pre-orders isn't publicly known, a Tesla fan site has an enigmatic algorithm that places the number over 510K.

- Automobile sales in China rose 19.8% in November to 2.42M units, according to the Passenger Car Association.
- Demand in China has been impacted by a tax cut that is due to expire at the end of the year. The government hasn't announced yet if the tax break will be extended.
- Chinese automakers Geely Automobile, Guangzhou Auto and Great Wall Motors all saw huge market share gains during the month.
- Auto sales are up 15.7% YTD to 21.1M units to mark an annual record with another selling month still to go.
- Related automaker stocks: OTC:CQCAF, OTCPK:GWLLF, OTCPK:GWLLY, OTCPK:GELYF, OTCPK:GELYY, OTCPK:BYDDY, OTCPK:BYDDF, KNDI, OTCPK:DNFGY, OTCPK:DNFGF, OTCPK:DDAIF, OTCPK:VLKAY, OTCPK:BMWYY, GM, OTC:GNZUF, OTC:GNZUY, TSLA, F, OTCPK:NSANY, TM.

- UBS predicts the era of diesel passengers cars is slowly coming to an end as manufacturers adopt a higher mix of hybrid and electric powertrains.
- The investment firm sees a drop of global diesel market share to 4% in 2025, from a current share of about 13.5%.
- The development is seen as positive for Ford (NYSE:F), General Motors (NYSE:GM), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY), Honda (NYSE:HMC), Toyota (NYSE:TM) and Hyundai (OTC:HYMLF). The slide in diesel market share will hurt Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE:FCAU), BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Peugeot (OTCPK:PEUGF, OTCPK:PUGOY), Renault (OTC:RNSDF) and Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY), warns UBS. European oil refinerers could also feel a neagtive impact.

- Previously: EVs a long-term wildcard in the oil market (Dec. 3)
Sat, Dec. 3, 11:33 AM
- Electric vehicles are forecast to cut into oil demand by 1M-2M bbl/day by 2035, according to oil industry consultant Wood McKenzie.
- That estimate is actually much more conservative than Bloomberg New Energy Finance's estimate for EVs to impact demand by 8M bbl/day by 2035. For perspective, OPEC agreed this week to coordinated production cuts of 1.2M bbl/day which swung crude oil prices wildly. EVs are only sipping up the equivalent of 50K bbl/day currently.
- The general consensus even in the oil industry is that governments are moving toward major changes with pollution and emissions regulations. Just this week, the cities of Paris, Mexico City, Madrid and Athens all said they would ban the use of diesel vehicles by 2025. Beijing is also slowly adopting pro-EV policies.
- A higher mix of EVs in the future has already been tipped off by the dramatic long-term electrification initiatives announced this year by companies such as BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY), Ford (NYSE:F) and Toyota (NYSE:TM). Around the corner, Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) have their mass model EVs ready to roll - while new EV trucks, buses and motorcycles are also on the way.
- WTI crude oil futures +1.21% to $51.68/bbl on Friday. Brent crude +0.96% to $54.46/bbl.

- An all-star team of business leaders has been named to an advisory board that will talk to Donald Trump during his administration.
- The President's Strategic and Policy Forum will be chaired by Blackstone (NYSE:BX) CEO Stephen Schwarzman. Other members include General Motors (NYSE:GM) CEO Mary Barra, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon, Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) CEO Doug McMillon, Disney (NYSE:DIS) CEO Bob Iger and former Boeing (NYSE:BA) CEO Jim McNerney.
- The impressive list is a bit short of Silicon Valley leaders, while hedge fund managers are completely MIA.
- The group is scheduled to meet for the first time in early February.
Thu, Dec. 1, 9:49 AM
- General Motors (GM +2.5%) reports U.S. sales gains across all brands in November.
- Retail sales were up 7.9% to 197,609 units during the month.
- Sales by brand: Chevrolet +8% to 169,675 units; GMC +14% to 49,113; Buick +16% to 18,530; Cadillac +15% at 15,236 units.
- Model standsouts included Checy Colorado +39% to 8,669 units, Chevy Malibu +72% to 18,577 units, Chevy Tahoe +31% to 9,433 units, GMC Sierra +14% to 18,900 units, and Buick Encore +40% to 7,162 units. Even the electric Volt showed some muscle with 28% sales growth to 2,531 units.
- TrueCar estimates on GM: Average transaction price +1.7% Y/Y to $36,774. Incentive spending +12.7% to $4,305 per unit.
- Previously: General Motors higher after U.S. sales beat estimates (Dec. 1)
Thu, Dec. 1, 9:42 AM
- General Motors (NYSE:GM) unit sales +10.2% to 252,644 units to eclipse the estimates posted by research firms. There were two extra selling days this year in November which impacted the comparison.
- "We gained profitable retail share, commercial and small business deliveries were strong and we commanded the industry's best average transaction prices," noted top GM sales exec Kurt McNeil.
- GM ended the month with 87 days supply vs. 84 days at the end of October.
- Shares of GM +1.85% to $35.17.
Wed, Nov. 30, 5:35 PM
- General Motors (NYSE:GM) stands to lose $8K-$9K on every Chevrolet Bolt it sells when the all-electric subcompact starts rolling out, Bloomberg reports, shedding light on the lack of profitability of electric cars in the U.S.
- California and nine other states that make up a combined 30% of the U.S. market mandate that automakers sell some non-polluting vehicles if they want to do business there, which goes a long way to explaining why money-losing zero-emissions models from more than 10 brands are on the roads, with more on the way.
- The industry is willing to take the hit on a small scale now but things could get dicey over the next decade or so, as the states' rules are set to tighten so that zero-emission vehicles will have to rise to an estimated 15.4% of sales by 2025, ~5x the current level.
- A California law ordering greenhouse-gas emissions to be 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 would require ZEVs, plug-in hybrids or fuel-cell cars to comprise 40% of sales, up from ~3% now.
Tue, Nov. 29, 11:52 AM
- Elaine Chao is the pick of Donald Trump to be the Secretary of Transportation, according to numerous media outlets.
- Chao served in the cabinets of Bush 41 and Bush 43. Early analysis is that she may be a known quantiy to the Detroit Three (GM, F, FCAU) who worked closely with her on a post-9/11 task force and broadly during the Bush years.
- The big picture: There's been some concern over the impact of the Trump administration for EV sellers such as Tesla Motors (TSLA -1.9%), Nissan (OTCPK:NSANY) and Toyota (TM +0.7%) -- although the $7.5K federal tax break is already set to expire when automakers cross over the 200K U.S. EV sale mark. Federal fuel efficiency targets could be rolled back after Trump takes office, although some industry watchers think manufacturers are too far along in their EV, ridesharing and mobility projects to put the genie back in the bottle.
Tue, Nov. 29, 7:44 AM
- TrueCar estimates new automobile sales rose 3.6% in November. On an adjusted day basis, the forecasts falls to a 4.7% drop in sales for the month due to the two fewer selling days.
- GM (NYSE:GM) sales for November are expected to increase 11.2% (unadjusted) to give it an 18.7% market share vs. 17.4% last year. Volkswagen (OTCPK:VLKAY), which is starting to lap its emissions scandal period, is expected to post a 4% gain for the month.
- The research firm says average incentive spending was up 13% Y/Y to $3,475 per unit. The only automaker without an increase in incentive spending during the month was Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF), accordintg to TrueCar.
- "The early launch of Black Friday sales events is helping offset declines in fleet sales this month, as the retail sales environment remains strong for new car sales," notes TrueCar analyst Eric Lyman.
- Previously: U.S. auto sales forecast to set a record in November (Nov. 25)
Mon, Nov. 28, 5:38 PM
- General Motors' (NYSE:GM) plan to halt semi-autonomous vehicles with unresponsive motorists draws concerns from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which urges GM to ensure safety for the company's upcoming "Super Cruise" system feature that will slowly bring vehicles to a stop when motorists fail to retake control of the wheel.
- The NHTSA letter, which approved GM's automatic activation of hazard lights in the slow-halt situation, is the U.S. government's latest effort to ramp up oversight for self-driving cars that are not governed by current regulations.
- GM has delayed Super Cruise, previously set to debut on a Cadillac car this year, until 2017.
Fri, Nov. 25, 9:46 AM

- Cadillac reportedly is pushing back implementation of the plan to April from Jan. 1, which already had been postponed from a fall start date.
- Some state dealership associations have criticized the plan as a strategy to shrink Cadillac's dealership network, which is 3x bigger than most luxury brands despite Cadillac's smaller market share.

Gisele's Abs Get Back to Doing What They Do Best

The return of Gisele's abs to the catwalk isn't even THAT big a deal, because her Instagram has already shown us how fabulous she looks all the time, every day, #nofilter. But there they are, in a crop top, in the Colcci show at Sao Paolo Fashion Week, for all the world to marvel at. And yes, it's her first runway since pregnancy #2, but she's so beyond that post-baby weight-loss ridiculousness that it doesn't even matter.BEGIN SLIDESHOW

About Rubber Stamps: Wood Mounted…
Classic wood-mounted rubber stamps provide superior stamping and a luscious stamping experience. The rubber holds and transfers ink better than clear stamps. The foam mounting transfers pressure evenly so that the stamp image forms completely. A wooden handle is printed with a picture of the stamp (called an index.) The wooden art stamp experience is the best of the best.

Zeb Zoober is a band member of The Country Bears band and plays the fiddle in the group. While in the group, he became honey addicted and did less time working in the group than drinking. In the film, Zeb is the only one who wanted to get the band back together (besides Fred); the only problem is he owes the bar lady (whom he constantly calls "Cha-Cha") money and the only why to not owe her nothing is to beat her bar house band in a musical duel. At first, he was rusty, but he soon wins the battle. It is also implied that Zeb was the source of the attention between the band because of his drinking and picking on Tennessee.
