Frobisher Inn Vision, Mission, & Values
The Frobisher Inn's vision is to be recognized as northern Canada's premier owner and manager of hospitality properties; to be known as an innovator and leader amongst local businesses; and, to be regarded as the best company to work with in every community in which we operate.
The Frobisher Inn is committed to transforming the experience of our customers living in or visiting northern Canada from that of "roughing it in a remote and harsh northern environment" to one of "experiencing amazing comfort and excellent, friendly service in a fun and exciting frontier city". We will pleasantly surprise all our customers with our beautifully designed and highly functional properties that are inviting and comfortable "people places". We will provide first class products and leading edge services and amenities for their enjoyment. We will not accept mediocrity and we will strive to bring the best practices in North America to our hospitality business in Northern Canada.
Core Values
Customers are the lifeblood of our business. Our success depends on consistently anticipating and planning to satisfy our customer's needs. We listen to and watch our customers to learn how we can change and improve the services we provide them. We foster long-term relationships with our customers by earning and maintaining their trust over time. As individuals, we understand the difference we can make in creating a positive experience or outcome for our customers. Each time we respond to a customer's need is a "moment of truth" – we either succeed or fail one moment of truth at a time.
People are the strength of our company. We act on the belief that our people are our greatest strength. We know that knowledge, hard work, commitment and multiple talents of the diverse people in our organization are the keys to satisfying our customer's needs. We maintain a business environment of caring, dignity and respect for the individual. We want our people to grow and develop their talents and achieve their maximum potential. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race or religion. We recognize and reward expertise, hard work, high performance, leadership, creativity, loyalty and team spirit. We respect each other enough to be open, to tell the truth and to give honest feedback. We listen to each other even when we disagree and we work together to make things better. We value deep thinking, true understanding, decisive action and having fun. We do not value gossip, wasted time and procrastination.
Quality is the key to satisfying our customers. We are committed to providing the highest quality facilities, services, products and amenities. We continuously seek to improve quality to better meet the needs and desires of our customers. In our hospitality and residential businesses, we know our customers want a comfortable, clean, quiet and safe environment with top-notch reliable service. We are never satisfied with just "good enough." We focus on quality in every aspect of our business – not just physical properties, but also our relationships, processes, services and creating a healthy and positive environment.
Innovation is the fuel for our future success and growth. We never accept the status quo as the way we will be able to satisfy our customer's rising expectations in the future. Only by embracing change and striving for constant improvement, will we keep ahead of our competitors. This forward looking "can-do" attitude helps define our corporate culture and it is a key to our long-term success. We believe there is always a better way and, if not possible today, it will be possible tomorrow. Only by listening, understanding and innovating to meet our customers changing needs, can we be a leader in our businesses and markets. Being a leader means growing and reaching out beyond our comfort zone at a personal level and a corporate level. We appreciate and applaud the "change agents" in our organization. We value and encourage personal initiative, creativity, planning ahead and thinking "out-of-the-box".
Accountability brings clarity to our decisions and strategies. We are clear on what we are doing, why we are doing it and the outcome each of us needs to deliver. We are mature and accept complete responsibility for our area of contribution and influence. We plan for the future. We never pass-the-buck, blame others or let things go. We are accountable to each other, to our other stakeholders and to our customers for doing what we say we will do. We work as a team; communicating and taking action together.
Integrity underpins everything we do. We compete vigorously and fairly in the marketplace. We provide exceptional value for the price our customers pay. We are honest and obey all applicable laws. We are 100% ethical in our dealings. We treat others with dignity and respect. We do what we say we will do. We strive to do the right thing for individuals, organizations and society in general. We are committed to living and working in a manner consistent with our values.
Community support is essential to our long term success. We give back to the communities in which we do business. We support and participate in business organizations and community programs and events. We support charitable causes. We encourage our employees to become volunteers and community leaders.

%% Please do not add an image to this page. Thank you.
The following moments in the ''Persona'' series will make you wonder if the folks at Creator/{{Atlus}} were under the influence of their Shadows when they implemented these.
Keep in mind:
* Sign your entries
* One moment per game to a troper, if multiple entries are signed to the same troper the more recent one will be cut.
* Moments only, no "just everything he said," or "The entire game" entries.
* No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
* No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
* Explain ''why'' it's a DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck.
* Please make sure the moment is fictional and is neither an event that occurred in real life nor something gameplay-related. We have a perfectly good ScrappyMechanic page for the latter.
* No ALLCAPS, no '''bold''', and no ''italics'' unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the [=DMoSs=] out loud.
[[folder:Persona 3]]
* Tropers/{{Demonsead}}: Near the end of The Answer, a PlayableEpilogue included in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' [[UpdatedRerelease FES]], after finally getting through the hell that was The Abyss of Time, each member of SEES (except Metis) is given a key that would allow them to either leave the dorm (which would make the Abyss disappear) or use the door the the [[SilentProtagonist Main Character's]] dorm room (which is impossible to open normally for some reason) to travel back in time to [[spoiler:the date of their final battle against the Nyx Avatar.]] Everyone is in agreement to leave... except [[ImpliedLoveInterest Yukari]], who wanted to use the keys to [[spoiler:save the Main Character's life.]] This leads to a disagreement about whether it was right or not to [[spoiler:undo his death, both for ethical reasons and for the possibility of fighting the Nyx Avatar again, and possibly losing.]] Yukari ignores all of this, [[HannibalLecture says Junpei is just afraid to die]], Calls [[ChangingOfTheGuard Aigis]] out on [[spoiler:not saying goodbye with the rest of SEES to the Protagonist after he died]], says everyone else only cares about themselves, and single-handedly causes SEES to fight for the keys with the winner having them all. All of this unnecessary drama could have been avoided if she just accepted the past and the action of the Main Character like everyone else and just left the dorm, goddammit Yukari.
** Tropers/{{Hoki}}: For me, it was not Yukari's decision to fight for the keys to go back in time [[spoiler: and save the Main Character's life]] that was the moment of suck (her grief was partly understandable). It was the fact that the supposed smartest person in the group backed her up for no apparent reason (other than probably having an even playing field) knowing full well of the possible implications of going back in time. So much for being an honor student.
** Tropers/{{DemonGodOfChaos2}}: For me, it was earlier at the LoveHotel where [[spoiler: The main protagonist is under the influence of a spell from the shadow, as is everyone else]]. After everyone snaps out of it, Yukari [[UnprovokedPervertPayback slaps the protagonist]]. It's bad enough already, but just before regrouping instead of apologizing for the misunderstanding, she says, and I quote. "If you ever say anything about this, I will never speak to you again." If it's one moment that cemented Yukari's scrappy status before The Answer, it's this one.
** Animeking1108: What I found to be annoying was how EasilyForgiven Yukari was for her actions in ''TheAnswer.'' She was acting spiteful towards Aigis because [[spoiler: [[EntitledBastard she wanted to be the Wild Card]]]], acted completely disrespectful towards Junpei and Akihiko's deceased loved ones, and wanted to [[spoiler: risk the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt [[LoveMakesYouCrazy just to see her dead boyfriend again]]]]. [[KarmaHoudini Despite all that, everyone is quick to forgive her for how she acted]]. This is especially angering since Yukari was my favorite female in ''The Journey.''
** Tropers/{{Catmuto}}: My [=DMoS=] also has to do with Yukari. She dropped so far off my list, I banned her from entering my party for the rest of the playthrough. It's the scene during summer vacation when Mitsuru [[spoiler: admits that her family's company had to do with releasing the Shadows]]. During this scene, everyone voices their shock and Yukari yells at Mitsuru, before dramatically storming off. That part was bad enough for me, but then the player has to follow her and listen to Yukari complaining about how this affects her and why she is angry. It was such blatant selfishness on her part, I felt like reaching through the screen and slapping her. There were other [=SEES=] members, who also had horrible things happening to them and were dealing with the news they had just received, yet Yukari didn't care how anyone felt about this, she only cared about what Yukari felt. That was the worst moment in the game for me, it's a scene that is honestly keeping me from playing the game again.
** Brohaha: 100% agree with above troper about when Yukari storms out on SEES after Mitsuru admits the truth; I literally could not bring myself into watching that scene again when playing Portable that I just skipped through all the dialogue and picked whatever when prompted for dialogue choices.
* Gene0129: The fact that [[{{Yandere}} Aigis]] [[KarmaHoudini never receives any true comeuppance for stalking the MC and trespassing into his territory]] made me relatively sick. Even worse is how Atlus expects us to see this as anything other than creepy and she immediately ends up a massive scrappy for me.
[[folder:Persona 4]]
* Tropers/DrZulu2010: While I still consider ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' to be my favorite RPG ever, there is one scene who really ticks me off. And that scene would be the buildup to [[spoiler: Nanako's kidnapping.]] Long story short, Dojima [[spoiler:sends your MC to the police compound for interrogation because he thinks you're suspicious.]] Ok, nothing bad there. But this is where those two grab the IdiotBall and never let it go. First, one of the answers that you can tell him is that [[spoiler:you can enter the TV. Dojima, of course, doesn't believe you.]] Now, it's not like [[spoiler:there is a TV where you can stick your hand in and prove him that you're right]]- oh wait, there is. In [[spoiler:Dojima]]'s case, it's even worse. Now, [[spoiler:there is a murderer in Inaba and he has sent threat letters to you and your family.]] What is your course of action? Why, [[spoiler:leave your daughter alone, at home, thereby increasing her chance to get kidnapped, of course!]] Not only that shows how Dojima is useless, but also how he is a terrible parent. Seriously, he is almost TheScrappy for me if it weren't for his character development.
** Calamity2007: Agreed on the part that [[spoiler: Dojima doesn't believe you]]. Made even more frustrating is that, if prior to this, you have been working on his Social Link, where a good majority of his character development takes place, and actually makes it a little more understandable [[spoiler: his rash reasoning that led to Nanako being kidnapped]]. It would have been nice to see a potential change to that scene, that if you maxed out his Social Link, [[spoiler: he would at least believe you a little, but due to the events that happen afterwards, never really gets the chance to talk to you about them except for maybe the ending]]. But other than that, it's just a single misstep on an otherwise great game.
* Tropers/{{CalamityRaven26}}: Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely ''love'' Persona 4. Hell, Persona 4 Golden is in my top five games of all time! But I seriously need to call bullshit out even with the best of the best, especially in regards to my personal DethroningMomentOfSuck with this game, where [[spoiler: the Investigation Team attempts to kill Namatame and how you have to talk them out of it. I ''get'' that the team is irrational, especially after Nanako died, but seriously, they acted like complete idiots during that scene. Not only was it ''more'' obvious that something was off in regards to the situation than it was during the Mitsuo scene, but I wanted to ''punch'' Yosuke for thinking murdering somebody when we haven't even heard his side of the story yet. I get that people were angry over Nanako's death, but I was so irritated with this irrationality, as it's completely an OutOfCharacterMoment for the team. But what ''really'' ruins this scene for me is the gameplay implications: in an {{Egregious}} case of GuideDangIt, you have to choose the ''exact response chain'' in order to avoid the second-worst ending. I understand that this game's message is all about the truth, but why make it possible to get a bad ending when incorrectly guessing the killer the next day? Not only does it feel completely stupid on both the characters and developers' parts to make ONE innocent mistake automatically lead to the BadEnd, but it feels downright patronizing, given that the Investigation Team was completely under the control of the IdiotBall ''and'' how much of an insulting GuideDangIt it is.]] Persona 4 is a damn-near perfect game, but it's only ''near'' perfect because this one, shitty moment exists.
* Tropers/LucaEarlgrey: The hot springs scene. So Yuu and his male company walk into the hot springs for a relaxing soak, sincerely believing that the spring is empty and is now on males-only hours, only to accidentally walk in on their female friends still splashing around. Chie and company immediately strike back at the guys, interpreting it as an act of perversion. After the guys flee, the girls then realize that they had stayed too long and were bathing well past their timeslot into the men's timeslot... then scoff it off and continue to bathe anyway. Easily the worst and dumbest scene in the entire game, and a sterling example of DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale, and I was so pissed off that the next day I went into the TV and committed the Shadow equivalent of SuicideByCop.
** {{Ecclytennysmithylove}}: I agree. To drive the DMOS further, let's compare the Persona 4 hot spring episode with a similar hot spring episode of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', in which the P3 boys stayed in the spring past their timeslot into the women's timeslot. In that episode, the P3 boys receiving DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale from the P3 girls (that is, if you fail the stealth-action minigame) actually works because of Ryoji and Junpei's dumb idea for the P3 boys to stay in the spring passed the allotted time for men, and therefore the P3 boys got punished for their actions. In the Persona 4 hot spring episode, however, it's gender-reversed and since no reasonable adults (i.e. Yukiko's parents because they're the owners of, y'know, the Amagi Hot Spring Inn) informed the P4 girls that their time in the spring is up, there is no reason as to why the P4 boys deserved abuse from the P4 girls.
** jake38: I have to admit, I love persona 4 and consider it one of my favorite JRPG'S, but I found the entire Amagi Inn scene to be the worst scene in the entire game, as it just made the whole group look like a bunch of assholes.
* Animeking1108: The last few hours were really when the plot of ''Persona 4'' started to get [[IdiotPlot stupid]], but I think one thing that infuriated me was [[spoiler: Nanako's death and resurrection]]. First, let's talk about how it triggers the events leading to either the good or bad ending. The game was basically using [[spoiler: the death of a child]] to [[StuffedInTheFridge emotionally manipulate the player into picking the bad ending]]. If you decide to [[spoiler: spare Namatame, Nanako comes back to life]]. First, [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot it negated a potential moment of character development for the heroes, showing that they're not perfect enough to save the day every time]]. Second, [[UnfortunateImplications it's a huge slap in the face to people who actually had to bury their children or siblings]] by having the situation resolved with a ResetButton. Third, [[BrokenAesop it completely goes against the moral of Naoki and Yosuke's Social Links]], as well as the entirety of ''Persona 3'', about [[spoiler: coming to terms with the death of a loved one]]. [[AssPull Finally, there is no explanation behind this aside from]] ThePowerOfFriendship. ''Persona 3'' may have done something similar with [[spoiler: Chidori]], but that gets a pass for two reasons: 1. That scene was optional and wasn't integral to getting the Good Ending. 2. ''The Answer'' reveals that that scene wasn't canon anyway. I'd expect this kind of writing out of the kids' shows everyone here seems to like, not a fucking [[Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei SMT]] game. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTNP792ykYM I'll just let the Nostalgia Critic sum up my feelings on this scene]].
* Tropers/{{Catmuto}}: Much as I enjoy ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', a scene around mid-way through the game was so bad, it made me hate Chie. The scene in question has Chie presenting [[spoiler: the human form of Teddy]] in brand-new, freshly bought clothes. The kicker is where Chie admits that she bought the clothes at Junes and telling the cashier to take the money for the clothes from Yosuke. [[note]]Not entirely sure if she means his bank account or an [=EC=] card or what, but Yosuke has ultimately paid for the clothes[[/note]] And those clothes were apparently pretty damn expensive, since Yosuke laments that his goal of saving up enough to buy a motorcycle has basically been ruined. Aside from the fact that Chie uses Yosuke's money without his permission, he wasn't even there when they bought the clothes. And nobody flat out even calls her out on this. In fact, it's never even mentioned. It's mentioned that Yosuke paid for the clothes, but Chie is basically the KarmaHoudini here. With the previously mentioned bathing scene above, this just really puts the unfair into TheUnfairSex.
[[folder: Persona 5]]
* Animeking1108: Throughout most of ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'', I tolerated Morgana and at least considered him an improvement over Teddie. However, my goodwill for the character was nearly squandered when [[spoiler: he ran away from the Phantom Thieves]]? Why? Because Ryuji kept calling him useless after Futaba took over as the MissionControl. Sure, that sounds understandable, but Morgana really shows off his Glass House when you remember that throughout most of the game, he kept berating Ryuji for every little mistake he made. This is only made worse when Ryuji is the only one that has to apologize to get him to come back, and despite that, Morgana still goes back to insulting Ryuji.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - November 26, 2011, New Braunfels, Texas SHOPPERS Continued from lA no sle^ and doing this." joining Haas were his friends, &ey Skinner, 19, and Amanda Leslie, 16, For Leslie, this was her first time participating in a Black Friday opening, but she appeared up for the challenge to find gifts for her family. "I'm pretty excited just to experience the craziness of it," she said. "I think it's going to be fun." A more seasoned Black Friday shopper awaiti ng the opening was Shannon Schmid, who said coming out in the wee hours has become something of a tradition for her. "It's just a fun event ff)r me and there's always good sales," Schmid said. "I've been doing this for a few years now and it's jiist fun to do." Later in the day, local retailers bpened their doors to Black Friday shoppers. Throughout the afternoon, downtown New Braunfels was packed as cars lined the streets and gift-carrying shoppers traveled u() and down the sidewalks. At Dancing Pony oh San Antonio Streets co-oWner jim Beall said it was a very busy day with customers from all over the country stopping l>y. "We get a lot of people who are visiting family for the holidays stop by who were told about us," Beall wicl. Vve've t»een hearing a lot of good things from them and we've s«in a lot of people who stopped by last year come again." Beall said the not items at the b(3utique this sc>ason have been jewelry and leather boots. Across the street at Nature's Aglow, shoppers perused the wide selec tion of soy candles, bath and body products, and other assorted knick-knacks. "I just like coming to these little shops," said Kimberly Rennspries, 17, of Marion. "I really like thi»s(' places and the prices, and you can find things in places like here that you can't find anywhere else." New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce President Michael Meek said promoting local retailers is a top priority to ensure the community continues to thrive. "That's something we always emphasize," Meek said. "We target overall shopping local but we especially promote our local retai ers." Meek added when local retailers succ i'ed, the community as a whole benefits from it — and that's something that cannot bi' undervalued. "Not only do the jobs Stay local, but so does the money. It d(K'sn't go to a corporate office outside the* city," he said. "We get more bang for the buck." TREES Continued horn )A ago with dreams of retiring from Texas' oil fields and spending their final years peddling the Chri^as spirit with fresh-cut trees, marshmallow roasts and hayrides in a red-and-white sleigh. They planted 20 acres of evergreen trees. Now, barely two years after Karen Barfield retired to work the farm, she has rt^urnc'd full-time to her ¡ob se I ling explosion-proof enclosures to the oil industry. David Barfield has increased his hours doing part-time electronic work. Instead qf sc*lling some 400 homt'grown trees as they do in a goc^ year, th(*y will Ix* luc ky to sell I (X) — nearly all Frasier firs brought in from North Carolina. And they're not certain that will be enough to cover their property taxes. Barfield says he can only charge $50 for a North Carolina fir— just $10 more than he pays for them. "Eight (trees) died within the last week,'' Barfield said, continuing his walk through his farm in New Caney. "These were all green a week ago. The drought has bc'en hurting us real l)ad." But at least he and his wife have other income. Others have not fared as well. "We lost prolwbly 'K) {X'r-cent of our trees," said )ean Raisey, 79, who's run a 10-acre Christmas tree farm in Purcell, ()kla., with her husband sinceT 98'j. Th(* othe^r 10 |K*r(ent are dying now, she said HERITAGE Continued from i A so the trec' lighting is one of the events leading up to the (K casion.

Cathey, who owns the 50-acre Elves Farm in Denisc)n, Texas, a town about 75 miles north of Dallas, said he has spoken to many of Texas' 120 Christmas tree farmers in recent months. Long stretches of triple* d eg ree hea t, he sa id, harmed the* tre(^ as much as the lack of rain. And the drought has been bad. In Texas, c*ss than 11 inches of rain fell this year compared to an annual .iverage of almost 24 ine hes. In Oklahoma, there has l)(H'n afwHJt 18.7 inc hc's of rain this year comfwrcKi to a long-term average of 10 inches. All trc*es have bcn^n hard-hit by the lack of rain. "There's hundreds of thousands of trees dying," said Travis Miller, a drought expert at Texas A&M University. "We're looking at a ... one-in-a-500-year kind of drou^t, and so it's weeding out the ones that can't survive this kind of extreme conditions," he added. For evergreens; vvhich usually prefer wetter, more temperate climates, the stru^le may be greater than for (irought-resistant plants, such as the juniper brush, although it too is dying in Texas this year. Farmers who planted evergreens native to Afghanistan — and accustomed to a desert climate — have had greater success than those who planted trees from the northeast United States. BLACK FRIDAY Continued from'1A Ten pc'0()le suffered cuts and l)ruises in the* chaos, and 10 others had minor in|uric*s from the spray, authorities said.

Heart Attack
Frequently Asked Questions
14. Should my family be especially concerned about me if I have a heart attack?
Having a heart attack increases your chances of having another one. Therefore, it is very important that you and your family know how and when to seek medical attention. Talk to your doctor about making an emergency action plan, and discuss it with your family.
The emergency action plan should include
- warning signs or symptoms of a heart attack
- instructions for accessing emergency medical services in your community, including calling 9-1-1
- steps you can take while waiting for medical help to arrive, such as taking aspirin and nitroglycerin
- important information to take along with you to the hospital, such as a list of medications that you take or that you are allergic to, and name and number of whom you should contact if you go to the hospital.
- your healthcare provider's phone numbers (both during and after office hours).

Picking up Delibird with EM ICE BALL.
I've just noticed that Skitty learns the move DOUBLE-EDGE by Level, so it's pointless to waste a candy to have him learn it. If I can, and since the move is already paid for, I'd like the move DOUBLE-EDGE to be switched with MT DREAM EATER.
Either way, Skitty goes back in this week =o
Using 1x Move Tutor Pass to have Skitty either learn MT DREAM EATER (If I can't switch), or MT THUNDER WAVE if I can switch the move. Hopefully this isn't TOO confusing for you :/

Hot Plate
Guests at Sabine (1915 Westheimer, 529-7190) are greeted with a lovely plate of fresh baked-in-house breads with an intriguing trio of dip, jelly and butter. Use this inside info from executive chef Aaron Guest to win bets with your fellow diners: The black-eyed pea hummus substitutes black-eyed peas, of course, for the traditional chickpeas; but the mystery ingredient is all-American peanut butter instead of tahini paste. The deep red cranberry-style jelly is made from boiled corncobs(!), and the fluffy, pink butter reminiscent of strawberries actually uses roasted beets. The breads are marvelous: cornbread muffins with chopped pecans and nutmeg; cumin-scented corn flatbread; and a textured white bread brushed with maple syrup, black pepper and herbs. Mmm, such a lagniappe

A Chinese contractor who originally admitted to driving a truck which plunged off Otira Gorge on the West Coast in April last year, killing one passenger and injuring another, now says he was not driving.
Feng (Steven) Sun, 41, is in the Greymouth District Court defending charges of careless driving causing the death of Danian Xu, 48, and injuring Kwong Chat Chui.
Most of the evidence was admitted by consent and handed up to Judge Alistair Garland in document form.
Paul Keating, a specialist vehicle inspector, could find no fault that would have contributed to the two-axle truck running off the steep gorge.
He inspected the vehicle at the crash site, and at a factory in Christchurch. Later, when the vehicle was made roadworthy, he tested the brakes and found no fault with them.
Defence lawyer Simon Clay conceded at the start of the trial that the issue of carelessness was accepted and the defendant agreed that whoever was driving the truck had been careless.
Serious crash inspector Simon Burbery said statements from Feng Sun and Mr Chui, plus his inspection of the vehicle, suggested that the occupant in the left-hand passenger seat was Mr Xu, who was still in the seat when police arrived at the scene.
The other occupants were the driver and a passenger in the "jump seat".
Mr Chui had crash injuries consistent with having been on the middle jump seat, which had been dislodged and thrown forward into the dash.
Feng Sun had a deep laceration on his jaw line and a fractured jaw, and although there was little blood in the middle of the vehicle there was plenty on the driver's side.
The steering wheel area hosted a considerable amount of blood and the right-hand side of the centre console had blood running down it.
The left-hand side of the roof had collapsed but the driver's side of the roof was relatively intact.
Mr Burbery said Mr Chui's crush injuries and his lack of cuts suggested that he was in the jump seat and the defendant was driving.
Under cross-examination Mr Burbery accepted that a surgeon said Feng Sun could have got his injuries by being ejected from the vehicle, but he said there was no blood outside the vehicle, proving that the injury must have been sustained in the cab.
"Blood does not fly backwards," he said.

I had bundled my phone service and direct tv together. I cancelled the direct tv in about february and in september of the same year I recieved a bill for two months of service that I did not recieve. This is not the way direct tv does it's normal billing. Normally you get the bill and prepay for the service at the begining of the cycle. I addressed this siuation to direct tv in detail by written notice but with no evail they continually sent me abill and eventually reported this on my credit report which is now being used to jack up my insurance premiums and credit line at my local banking establishment.

Congrats on the new WRX I am sure that you will love the AWD over RWD. They each have their place but AWD is awesome 100% of the time.
Went from a 05 WRX to an 08 350Z. a BMW for 2 years, then I am BACK to the 2013 WRX..you just cant stay away!!
the 350Z might have it a BIT in acceleration, but the Subaru can haul groceries, Rip through the snow/rain, fit a few more people, and the aftermarket on it is incredible. You may miss the whine of that 350. God I loved the sound of that car.
I pretty much did the same thing. I do miss getting sideways in the Z every once in awhile. As far as fuel economy goes, stay out of boost. Thats the best way to do it.
VQHR35 baby. Still a big fan of that motor. 2nd gear seemed to go on for days, and It is nice having that 6th gear to go into. I specifically bought the car because someone gunned one past me in a back alley one day, and the reverberation of that exhaust was from the gods. I traded in my WRX a few weeks later for one. GO figure, here we are again...
I had an Injen exhaust on my 350z...nothing short of the loudest damn car I'd ever heard. The initial quick blip of gas when you start those cars are actually got me to buy one. Sounded so damn good. That and the orange leather interior...LOVE orange

You will have to install the drivers for your Wireless Card. If you know the make of the card, you can boot into Windows 2000, connect to the Internet and then download the drivers for Windows XP. Place them on a floppy disk / USB Flash Drive, and then, when in Windows XP, install the drivers.

Starbucks' Schultz finally shaking things upAaron Pressman
"Well, we have read that McDonald's is going into a premium cup of coffee, to serve a premium cup of coffee, and we are in that business. We are in the premium bean segment, and we think that the more the consumer gets educated on premium coffee, the more (that) bodes well for all of us that are serving that type of coffee. We watch it closely, but at the end of the day, we think that it helps educate the customer on what really a great cup of coffee is all about." —Former Starbucks CEO Jim Donald, February 8, 2005.
When a stock drops 50% in a year, it's tough for the CEO to hang on. When that CEO appeared to be, time after time, oblivious to the causes for that drop, well, see Exhibit A of 2008: Starbucks suddenly former CEO Jim Donald. It's almost one year ago that Starbucks sort-of-founder, chairman and just now CEO again Howard Schultz issued a call to arms in a memo ackowledging that the coffee chain had opened the door to competitors. Anyone can sell coffee or lattes or even carmel macchiatos. What made Starbucks special was the atmosphere. Despite Schultz putting his finger on the right problem, Donald seemed slow to craft a solution or actually do much of anything. With Howard back in charge, shares of Starbucks (Symbol: SBUX) all the way down in the $18 range (about where they were four years ago adjusted for a stock split) and Wall Street's most bullish analysts having thrown in the towel and yanked their "buy" ratings, now is the time for re-entry.
You'll probably read a lot about founders coming back to save their foundering creations over the next 24 hours. Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, and on and on. Schultz return is definitely of the Jobs variety - not only does he have vision, it's vision that his company is so clearly lacking. As Schultz says in a statement the company put out a little while ago: "We know what needs to be done." And he's got a multi-point program to get things in order, starting with enhancing the customer experience, slowing the pace of U.S. store openings and spending more capital to expand overseas where the opportunities are richer.
p.s. Blogger and investor Todd Sullivan was ahead of the curve on this move. Commenting on the Wall Street Journal story today on McDonald's coffee forays, Sullivan posted some of Donald's more clueless comments. Then he called for the CEO to be fired, a slowing of U.S. Starbucks openings and an overhaul of the customer experience. Looks like Sullivan was right on.

PRESS RELEASE: Groundbreaking Database Unveils New Connections Between Money and Politics in California
Startling Findings Available at MAPLight.org
BERKELEY, CA, October 17, 2006 – Today MAPLight.org unveiled a pioneering database that lays bare the connection between money and votes in California politics.
"Information that used to take days to dig up and connect is now available at the click of a mouse," says Dan Newman, Executive Director of MAPLight.org. "How often did each legislator vote with the special interests that financed their election campaigns? MAPLight.org now provides the answers."
The MAPLight.org website combines information from the Official California Legislative Information website, which contains the official text of each bill and how each legislator voted, and the Institute on Money in State Politics, a national nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to accurate, comprehensive and unbiased documentation and research on campaign finance.
MAPLight.org allows journalists and citizens to answer questions such as:
- How did a legislator vote on a particular bill, and who are the top contributors to that legislator?
- How often did legislators vote to support bills their top contributors supported?
- How often did special interests (such as insurance companies or drug companies) succeed in blocking bills that did not serve their interests?
"MAPLight.org is extremely flexible and easy to use," said Newman. "You can approach your research in the way that is most interesting to you. You can browse through legislation either by the subject area or bill number that concerns you. Or you can start by looking at the special interests, or at the voting records. Soon we will have 'real time' XML feeds and widgets for blogs and desktops."
About MAPLight.org
MAPLight.org, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization based in Berkeley, California, illuminates the connection between money and politics. MAPLight.org shines a light on campaign contributions and related legislative outcomes, which leads to a more informed public and election reform.

WHAT'S IMPRESSIVE about the drama program at Tamalpais High School is not just how much theater is going on, but how much is going on at exactly the same time.
On a typical afternoon, there are guest artists everywhere. Tam High alumnus Joe Lucas is leading a movement class in the old Ruby Scott Auditorium, while Regina Saisi is teaching an improv class in the new Daniel Caldwell Theatre, built in 2006.
In the lobby Julia McNeal is doing a guided meditation with a voice class, while Julianna Rees walks Shakespeare students through monologues in a room upstairs.
In the courtyard, alumna Kathryn Zdan has split her physical theater workshop into two groups and has them creating wordless site-specific theater pieces in staircases and alleys.
After school it's equally busy, with three plays rehearsing at once. Veteran actor, director and playwright Robert Ernst, a longtime Marin resident, is directing Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth" for performances next week. Mill Valley's Cat Thompson, a frequent Marin Shakespeare Company star, is rehearsing an all-female "Julius Caesar" for late March. Zdan is working on Roald Dahl's "The Witches," coming up in April. While the student actors are rehearsing, other students are building sets and costumes for the shows.
All of this is on top of all the other schoolwork and activities that make up the students' day at a public high school.
"When I tell my friends who are also teachers and directors about this program, they're like, 'Oh, this is a performing arts academy?'" Zdan says. "I say, 'No, it's a public school.' They're like, 'What?!'"
All the performances are under the aegis of Conservatory Theatre Ensemble, a student-run company that presents the fruits of the drama department's labors.
"The way to think about it is, there's a drama department at Tam High School and the project that every drama class is involved in is creating this theater company called Conservatory Theatre Ensemble," says Ben Cleaveland, co-director of the program, and a Tam alum himself. "We have students that head up publicity and donations and front of house, and the royalty department to apply for royalties. It's like a school-based business."
The school district pays the teachers' salaries, but contributes only about 5 percent of the CTE budget, he says. "We apply for grants for 30 percent, and then the other 65 percent is fundraising and box office from productions."
Nearly 300 of the school's approximately 1,100 students take part in the four-year sequential program, and everybody gets a chance to perform. The juniors and seniors are spread over six main stage shows, and the younger students act in three-week One-Act Festivals twice a year, directed by the older students.
"The kids have so much ownership over everything," says co-director Susan Brashear. "They're doing everything backstage, they're doing everything in the front of the house, they're producing — they're doing every single thing."
In fact, all the shows are designed and produced by the students. Heather Basarab trains them in design, production management and theater technology, and the students are required to work on the production side of one show and act in another.
Sound designer Teddy Hulsker, another CTE alum who's come back to work with the students, says that breadth of training helped him find his niche after he graduated from Tam in 2008.
"You get such a diverse training in every element of theater that it really prepares you when you get to a college setting to start to specialize in a way that you might not be able to do if your only experience was acting," he says. "The main reason I fell into sound design was that there was a lack of sound designers at SF State. Because I had the skills I was able to step up right away my freshman year and really get into that for the four years that I was there. If I hadn't had that diverse background, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of that opportunity."
By the time he graduated from San Francisco State University this spring, Hulsker was already a busy professional doing sound for companies such as Cutting Ball, Mugwumpin and Shotgun Players.
Other commitments may dictate for which shows any given student is available, so scheduling is a large process unto itself.
"Right now what we're doing is collecting all the information from the kids and creating a big matrix, because they all have their things going on," Brashear says. "It's a big web that we're weaving."
CTE was founded by Daniel Caldwell and Michelle Swanson in 1976. The Bay Area Playwrights Festival was based there in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
"It was awesome in that period," Brashear recalls. "They commissioned plays and did lots of wonderful new work."
A Tam student in the early '80s, Cleaveland is in his 14th year teaching there. Brashear has been there 17 years, recruited by Caldwell after Swanson had moved on to replicate the program at Redwood High and then at Sir Francis Drake. Brashear and Cleaveland have built up the design and production side, training their students in all aspects of theater.
Tam gets an impressive lineup of local theater pros to work with the students.
"Ben and Susan are incredibly supportive of our performing careers," Zdan attests. "They only work with guest artists that have vibrant careers of their own, because they see the value in having their teachers doing the thing that they're teaching."
A Mill Valley native who graduated from Tam in 2001, Zdan credits CTE for her decision to become a professional actor, prominently featured in Marin Theatre Company's recent "Bellwether."
"I was going to go to college for premed; I was going to be a doctor," she says. "I came here and Ben and Susan said, 'You should really go to college for theater.' And I remember being like, 'What? That's not a job! I can't do that! Can I do that?'"
Taking a break from rehearsing "Caesar" with 14 young women (including two stage managers), Thompson marvels, "It's hard for me to imagine that they get all this rehearsal. I'm like, 'Girls, I rehearse shows and put them up in three and a half weeks.'"
But there's as much coaching and teaching involved as rehearsal. "It really is a professional level conservatory for high school kids," she says. "They come out of here, they might not go into theater, but they're so grounded and open, with an eye for art."
"The idea's not necessarily to turn out theater artists," Cleaveland attests. "The goal is to explore the capacity of their creativity and how they can apply what they're learning to something that has a real product, has a real deadline, and affects a whole lot of other people. How to work together on a project teaches as much about being a person in the world as it does about theater."

Hi chaps,
I'm a newbie here so please treat me gently!! I have bought a new towbar for my 04 X5 and will fit this myself as I guess it's fairly straightforward.... Only problem is the wiring for the electrics. Is this fairly straightforward or do I need the services of an auto electrician bearing in mind I can just about wire a 3 pin plug
Anyone in the Tunbridge Wells area up for a bit of assistance in exchange for a beer or two?
Any advice from you experts greatly received.


text: So, my daily driver 04 Silverado 1500 Z71 (4.8l) is making a buzzing / humming noise while shifting, but only for the first few minutes of driving. The noise is strange, sounds almost like a dying plastic window fan. I am not a super-mechanic, but I know my way around a car, and this has thrown a curveball at me. Idk what this noise could be. After the 2 - 5 minutes of making this noise during shifting it stops and the truck drives/shifts perfectly and quietly. Im baffled. Ive asked around and gotten answers that range from "overdrive kicking on" to "trans filter clogged" to something about a "high pressure valve". Just wondering if anyone has come across this in the past. Oh, just for reference it does not "clunk" while shifting like everyone talks about. Thanks for any help in advance

Whangarei's new bridge has hit the small screen across New Zealand - and potentially worldwide.
Te Matau a Pohe features in the new television advertisement for car manufacturer Kia's new model, the Cerato Hatch.
Whangarei acting mayor Phil Halse says he has been told it will not only be shown on television networks across New Zealand, but potentially in Australia and South Africa. "We hit the big time."
The advertisement has also been loaded to YouTube by Kia New Zealand, with nearly 400 views by 4pm yesterday.
"Congrats to Kia for picking such an iconic symbol for their ad," Mr Halse said.
"It's very catching, very modern, and we are very pleased to see something this council was behind attracting business interests." The council did not broker any deal to let Kia film, Mr Halse said. "It's a public space."
The YouTube video has attracted a number of likes on the Northern Advocate Facebook page. Barbara Derrick said she was walking on the bridge at the time they were filming the ad.
"They did over 60 takes just for five secs of ad," she posted. "They stopped the traffic at both ends to do this."
You can see the video on the Advocate's Facebook page.

Police are reassuring Flaxmere residents their latest training exercise in the suburb has not been in anticipation of a major crime wave, but because the town provides the ideal locations to test its armed offenders squad.
The squad held several training days each year as part of a national programme and the latest was held at Flaxmere College on Thursday afternoon.
Hastings District Council's Flaxmere ward councillor Henare O'Keefe said he was worried police had decided to hold the training exercise in the suburb because it often attracted negative media attention.
But the Head of the Hawke's Bay armed offenders squad Sergeant Bryan Smith said he wanted to make it clear Flaxmere was selected on its merits as an ideal location for the staff to train.
"The Flaxmere College was chosen because it gave the squad experience in a school environment and also in a built-up urban area.
"The training was done with the full permission and co-operation of the school.
It was done out of school hours and there were only a few students still on the school grounds when the training began," Mr Smith said.
Other locations used by the squad on Thursday were the now-disused Pukeora Home for the Disabled in Central Hawke's Bay and the EIT in Taradale.
The locations for regular training exercises were selected from all around Hawke's Bay to give the squad experience in any potential situations that may occur in the community, such as public areas, commercial businesses, schools, hospitals, farms, factories as well as in urban and rural areas.
Mr Smith said police always consulted with building owners or occupiers about using their premises for training and everyone who needed to know was fully informed of what would be taking place.

FACT CHECK: Ryan Falsely Claims His Plan to Change Medicare is 'Not a Voucher'
On Fox News Sunday this morning, Republican Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan falsely claimed that his budget plan is "not a voucher, it's premium support."
Let's see who disagrees with him:
[Fox News, 5/1/11]
The Economist Claimed New Medicare Enrollees Would Receive a "Voucher.""Mr. Ryan proposes that starting in 2022, new enrollees receive a voucher from the federal government to buy a private plan. (He prefers the term "premium support" to vouchers, but they're really the same thing.)" [The Economist, 4/05/11]
New York Times Called the Plan a "Voucher Program." On April 10, 2011, The New York Times described the Republican's budget, claiming: "The plan would turn Medicare into a voucher program for future generations and slash spending for the need-based Medicaid program and other domestic initiatives, while largely sparing the Pentagon and cutting $4 trillion more in corporate and high-income taxes." [New York Times, 4/10/11]
L.A. Times: Republicans Resurrecting Medicare Voucher-like System. "Fired up as once-unimaginable spending cuts start to slice the federal budget, Republicans are launching a new phase in their austerity campaign — resurrecting the party's cost-cutting plan to turn Medicare into a voucher-like system for future seniors." [LA Times, 3/2/13]
Bloomberg: Ryan's Plan Ends Traditional Medicare. "[Paul] Ryan's budget bill also would end traditional Medicare by capping spending and offer vouchers to buy private insurance." [Bloomberg, 8/13/12]
Alliance for Retired Americans: Voucher Program Would Raise Premiums for Seniors. "Once again, guaranteed benefits would be replaced with vouchers," said Barbara J. Easterling, President of the Alliance for Retired Americans. "It's like handing every senior one single dollar and saying, 'spend it however you like' — then bragging about how much money the government is saving." [Alliance for Retired Americans, accessed 3/19/12]
Politifact: "Mostly True" it's a Voucher Plan. In 2012, Politifact determined that it was "mostly true" that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to turn Medicare into a voucher plan. [Politifact, 8/16/12]
Wall Street Journal: Republican Budget Would "Essentially End Medicare." The Republican budget "would essentially end Medicare, which now pays most of the health-care bills for 48 million elderly and disabled Americans, as a program that directly pays those bills." [Wall Street Journal, 4/4/11]

The Wildcats will take another shot at ending the series on Sunday, when they host the Avros in Hartney at 2 p.m.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This use to be my mechanic. Before when he was over on Railroad Rd in Boynton Beach he was honest and would work with you and tell you the truth about what is wrong with your car and kept the cost down when you coud buy your own parts and he would charge you for labor and service was better. Now that he bought his new shop like previous owner or owners he is not much different then any two bit mechanic that wants money and does not beleive in customer service. There is also reviews on-line I saw under the previous owner "Chuck's Auto" and I could not beleive what I read. I do not know what happen instead of fixing a relationship to be my mechanic he uses excues that are true. It all started by buying a car on his lot the the new owner states was not his. I guess because he is not the owner of the cars and because I bought the car I bought it as is and I understand that. You think to have this person as your mechanic and a certified one he would not do this. I bought the car and he stated to my wife and I that that was the best car on his lot. Also he kept saying it not my car but he did recommend the car. I also took the car to him before I tried to drive up to Ganiesville, FL and the car broke down and he stated nothing he could do. Then when I found out the car had a badengine it was like its not my car you bought it from the previous owner and will not help me at all. So, if he is costing me money not working making money I guess I can do the same. So if you hear of this auto repair place in South Florida please go some where else it not worth it even if he is nice or I do not know what happened to this honest mechanic. I know he lost a good customer that had used cars without any auto warranty.

Also your statement "You know there was a time when Americans STOOD UP and took ACCOUNTABILITY for their actions" Lying about a car stating it is the best car in the shop. Also disclousure of any mechanical problems has to be done by the seller and I am standing up for myself and Chuck's should be ACCOUNTABLE!!!

As is meand AS IS!! What is so hard to understand. You wish to drag someones name through the mud at least have the balls to name yourself. Oh wait its the internet. A place ANY nutjob can go and write ANYTHING they want without consiquences. NO!! WAIT!!! Thats WRONG!!!! The web is considered to be a MEDIA OUTLET. As such all this person has to do is retain a Lawyer and get a court order. You are slandering them. Thats a civil offense. Hence WHY you put ANON in there.
The mech even told you that HE did not own the vehicle. He told you that he was JUST a BROKER. A Broker is only the middleman. This means that he MAY get a cut of the cash paid as a finders fee but thats as far as HIS responsability goes. You bought this car as is. That means the MOMENT you drove it off the lot it was yours. As the mechanic had ZERO responsability in the OWNERSHIP of said vehicle, you are pretty much stuck. So instead of admitting that YOU screwed up, you wish to blame an innocent person FOR YOUR ISSUE!!!
You know there was a time when Americans STOOD UP and took ACCOUNTABILITY for their actions. Even their mistakes. Now everyone wants to blame SOMEONE ELSE instead of fessing up to their part. I myself had a similar issue. My mechanic sold me a car as is, he was selling it FOR someone else. It blew a head gasket. DID I run to the mechanic and WHINE??? NOPE!! I understood when buying it that it WAS AS IS!!!! No warrenty. When you factor in the costs to repair MY car it costs roughly the same as it would had I gone to a Used car lot. MY FAULT!! Not the mechanics, not the original sellers fault. MINE!!!! It was MY responsability AFTER I PAID FOR IT to make sure it stayed in running order. Funny part was I did what EVERYONE does. He told me there was a cooling issue but I promptly FORGOT!!!!! Then summer rolls around and BAM!!! Head gasket blows.
Was I upset, you bet. Was I ticked, ABSOLUTLY!!! Did I run around and try and stick the BLAME and COSTS on someone else? NO!!!!!! So you should learn from this mistake on YOUR part. YOU BOUGHT A USED CAR AS IS. In the future try and secure a WRITTEN WARRENTY. But you WENT CHEAP AND IT COSTS YOU!
