Bought two kits for a 2007 GMC Serria (high beams and fogs already had low beams)
I meet with Ryan yesterday (10/23) and picked up my kits. 1st off lets start off with what a nice guy he is to deal with. He was very kind and told me everything i needed to know about the kits.
The weather was crap last night and most of today. But i did install the high beams today. Very easy to install. On the GMC the lights come out super easy. Took me all of about 15 minutes. I secured the Ballast right to the core support with the included screws,I also placed the foam two sided stickey tape in between the ballast and core support. I ran all my wire and secured the with the included zip ties .Everything went great and came out clean.
I will update this post whe i instal the fogs tomorrow (better weather coming ) . Once again thanks Ryan . I will send everyone i know wanting to do the HID upgrade to you.

HID Conversion How-To
Ok, on Friday i bought the 55w bi-xenon HID's, headlight conversion and relay harness for my 96 cherokee, i am pleased with the light output of the lights, but i have found that the bulbs have to be in the housing a certain way to get the correct beam pattern (at first i had the bulbs in the housings the way Ryan put them in, but the first night i was driving i noticed that my low beams were perfect but when i flicked the high beams on they would be shining to the tops of trees, so i did some tinkering and found that if you rotate the bulbs 180 degrees in the housings it fixes this), over all im happy with the conversion but there is only one problem with it and it really irritates me, when im driving at night with the headlights on the ballasts create a lot of radio interference of fm radio, i have a newer radio and it only does it with the lights on so i know its the ballasts not sure how to fix it yet but hopefully there is a way
1 - First you need to pull you headlight surrounds off (along with the grill if you prefer to run the wires behind the grill, which i did)
2 - Take the four screws on the headlight hold down out (Be sure to hold onto the headlight as it can/will fall out once you take the last screw out)
3 - I found that its a lot easier if you pull the battery out, disconnect your battery cables (negative first), then take the two nuts off on you battery hold down and pull the battery out
4 - You need to push your stock head light harness back into the engine compartment that way you can plug you new harness into the stock harness, I recommend that you take the connection after connecting it to
5 - Now you need to route the new harness wires close to where the headlights are (I ran the wires from the passenger side to the driver side behind the grill) mount the ballasts within reach of the headlight, I mounted the ballasts on the inner fender wall on each side, and then ran the wires from the ballasts to behind the headlights
6 - Now you can plug the headlight wires into the wires from the ballast, throw the headlights back in and then start putting the front of your jeep back together
7 - Now you need to run the new grounds on the harness to a good chassis ground (I actually ran mine directly to the battery to make sure I got the best ground possible but either will work)
8 - Now run the power lead off the new harness to either the positive side of the battery or to the front lead off the distribution block
9 - Now you can connect your battery cables back on (Positive first then negative) and tighten them up and now you can try out the lights
10 - I recommend aiming your light once it is completely dark out, its up to you where you do this but I like to find a long straight dirt road to adjust mine on, all you need is a phillips for 96 and older or a torx bit for 97 and newer (not sure what size)
11 - Comparsion of Sylvania Silverstar with stock harness vs 55watt HID with autopal e-code conversion....
Hope this helps anyone thats doing an HID conversion.....

All the colors that I've seen in this thread are 5000K. I think thats also the only color I hav bi-xenons in at the moment. edit: I lied, I found 6000Ks when alix4d came, and thats what he bought. I also found an 8000K for all you blue fans in addition to my mass of 5000K
That orange jeep is freakin sweet - me and the customer (old Land Rover owner) I had there already drooled over it for 10min at least.

HID Install
I picked my lights up from Ryan the other day. I got the 35W Bi-Xenon 6000K kit. Ryan was very nice and helpful, he told me a few tips to get these lights to work like making sure the lights are in the housings the right way to get the correct high beam pattern. Install time was just a little more than an hour.
Ignore the blurry pics, they were taken with my phone because my camera batteries were dead.
The HID kit
I found it easiest to start by mounting the relay (I used an existing bolt on the inner fender well near the battery.) and running the wiring harness from there.
I ran my grounds to an existing bolt behind the turn signals for now. (They will get ran back to the battery soon.)
I mounted my ballasts with the double sided foam supplied in the kit on the radiator support under the top piece that goes across the grill.
Ran the positive lead to the battery and zip tied the wires to and existing cable to make it look nicer than the wire just dangling there.
Put the new housings in and tested the lights before getting all of the trim pieces back on because that would be just my luck to get everything back together and it doesn't work. hahah
Still light out and they are easy to see
I drove it tonight and the difference isn't even comparable. (I'll get pics of the lights at night soon when I can use my good camera.)
With the way the kit is designed, it is nearly impossible to wire it wrong, the connections only have one way they can plug in.
I would recommend an HID conversion to anyone wanting more light from their headlights, it is a super easy kit and the difference is unbelievable. I would also suggest buying from Ryan because he is nice and because it is nice to talk to someone about the kit and installation rather than buying online and not having the option to speak with someone directly.

Night/Day difference in the Yukon! Thanks boo!
He also hooked me up with LED DRL's that are a cool light blue and twice as bright as stock, and more importantly, they will never burn out!

I am getting in all of the resistors and capacitors that some vehicles need, all professionally wired up, soldered, sealed, and plug and play.
The LED's are a big hit - one guy bought $140 worth last night...
I think I may start their own thread as to not clutter this one.

Thanks again Ryan, nice guy, quick/smooth install, and the light output is really incomparable to the 55 watt silverstars that were in there.
with the projector beam style low beams I have in the miata, combined with the low ride height I didn't have a single high beam flashed at me, and I made sure to take mostly 2-4 lane surface routes most of the way home.
for anyone wondering if they can do it. it would appear to literally plug+play for most applications.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN: creationism in new clothes. Among 34 nations polled in 2005, the U.S. ranks next
February 10, 2009February 12, 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. Summary: creationism in new clothes, "intelligent design" (ID) is a religious belief that conservatives want taught in the schools instead of traditional science, biology, and evolution. (According to National Geographic news, among 34 nations polled in 2005, the U.S. ranks next to last in acceptance of evolution theory; researchers say the number of Americans who are uncertain about the theory's validity has increased over the past 20 years.) In a Pennsylvania court case in 2006, U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones III: "The overwhelming evidence at the trial established that ID is a religious view, a mere re-labeling of creationism, and not a scientific theory.…Those who disagree with our holding will likely mark it as the product of an activist judge. If so, they will have erred as this is manifestly not an activist Court. Rather, this case came to us as the result of the activism of an ill-informed faction on a school board, aided by a national public interest law firm eager to find a constitutional test case on ID, who in combination drove the Board to adopt an imprudent and ultimately unconstitutional policy."

Don't you hate it when pests return? Well that's what happened this week when it was announced that Florida International University hired Isiah Thomas to coach their team. It's a sad attempt to grab attention. This is after all, the same Isiah Thomas who has failed at almost every post-playing-career job that he has been hired for.
Isiah's been a failure on an executive level in a variety of ways. He bought the CBA for $5 million in 1998 and within two years caused the league's bankruptcy, despite having received an offer of $11 million for it to be bought and become the minor leagues of the NBA (of course Isiah rejected it). For normal people, 11 is greater than 0, but in Isiah World, 0 beats all.
Then as President of Basketball Operations of the New York Knicks, allow me to list his accomplishments:
Gee.. does anyone see anything resembling positive results here? If Isiah Thomas ran any investment bank during the past 10 years, they would've been so badly in the hole, the US would have to double it's national deficit just to bail them out.
But, let's not forget that as a coach Isiah has been an underperformer as well. Under Thomas, the Pacers never performed very well and the Knicks were even worse. Thomas showed a consistent ability to get his teams to perform below expectations. Furthermore, with the Knicks he managed to even create negative controversy with the brawl in Denver. Isiah finished his time in New York by "coaching" the team to a .280 winning percentage.
Finally, Isiah has shown an inability to even be a positive human being. Isiah Thomas was found guilty of sexual harassment of a Madison Square Garden and New York Knicks employee. After the jury rendered its verdict, Isiah spoke as if he was living in a different reality than everyone else, saying "I'm innocent, I'm very innocent, and I did not do the things she has accused me in this courtroom of doing, I'm extremely disappointed that the jury did not see the facts in this case."
I suppose that's how Isiah justified that it was the right move to let the CBA go bankrupt as well. There is also the sad incident of Isiah overdosing on sleeping pills and attempting to claim that it was his daughter that the ambulance rushed to the hospital, not him. Despite the facts stating otherwise, yet again Isiah claimed his story was right.
So FIU has managed to hire someone who sees the world through very filtered lenses and why? I guess they need the attention that badly in a state where they are far from the top attraction, in a sport where they rarely win their conference and have only had one NCAA tournament appearance. FIU, however, is opening up a can of worms they won't be able to contain.

Combining Matrices
Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to combine an n x p matrix and an n x q
matrix to form an n x (p + q) matrix. I found one way, shown in the
second last line of the code below, but I have no idea why it works,
and I'm wondering whether there is a more direct way. The example
takes 3 x 4 matrix A and combines it with 3 x 2 matrix B to form 3 x
6 matrix X.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
n = 3; p = 4; q = 2;
A = Array[a, {n, p}];
B = Array[b, {n, q}];
(X = Transpose[Flatten[{{Transpose[A], Transpose[B]}}, 2]]) //

30 Years Ago (Aug. 6, 1981)
Seven Counties Services, Inc. authorities came to the July meeting of Trimble County Fiscal Court to propose that the court consider passing an ordinance that would allow the electorate to vote a tax rate sufficient to help provide a full range of mental health and other services to the people of Trimble County. Dave Marye, therapist on mental health in the Bedford office said he held a total of 2,279 sessions from Sept. 1978 to March 31, 1981 for 164 residents dealing with emotionally disturbed children to drug and alcohol abusers.
It has been a little more than a decade ago since the General Assembly revamped the state's adult education programs, a high point in the legislature's ongoing efforts to improve the classroom from preschool to the workplace.
While a lot of work remains, the past decade has been exactly what we had hoped. In fact, from 2005 to 2009, adult education enrollment grew by 30 percent – faster than any other state over the same period. There are now about 40,000 citizens who are helped academically each year.

During this weekends lane closures, workers will remove and replace deteriorated concrete on a bridge and on various parts of the road. Once the concrete is poured, it will have to harden for several hours. The bridge repairs are being completed as part of a $2.9 million interstate resurfacing project. The entire project is expected to be complete by May.
TDOT will use portable message boards to alert motorists of the lane closures. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and expect delays. Law enforcement officers will be on site in the work zone to provide traffic control as the work is being completed. TDOT also asks drivers to use caution, reduce their speed and be alert to changing traffic conditions in work zones across the state.

MILWAUKEE -- The San Diego Padres were in a pretty foul mood Sunday after blowing their second consecutive shot at wrapping up the NL wild card.
And it didn't get any better once they were in the clubhouse, where televisions were tuned to the final outs of the Colorado Rockies' victory over Arizona.
The Padres couldn't overcome a shaky start by Brett Tomko and lost 11-6 to Milwaukee, opening the door for the Rockies to force a tiebreaking game at Coors Field on Monday night.
San Diego is pinning its playoff hopes on the only guy who could manage a smile Sunday evening -- ace Jake Peavy.
"I think the spirits and the mood right now is a little downtrodden, but we're going to get it up," Peavy said. "I'm not going to let this happen tomorrow. I can promise you it'll be a new day, the boys will be excited. I mean, this is why we play the game."
San Diego needed to win one of the final two games of the season to lock up a postseason spot but lost 4-3 to the Brewers in 11 innings on Saturday. Trevor Hoffman needed just one strike to finish off a 3-2 win but gave up a tying triple to Tony Gwynn Jr., the son of the Padres Hall of Famer, and Milwaukee won it in the 11th on Vinny Rottino's RBI single.
Sunday's game wasn't even close as Milwaukee pushed across two in the fourth, chased Tomko during a four-run fifth and added three more in the sixth on a bases-loaded triple by Gabe Gross.
At least San Diego will have Peavy to fall back on in the extra game. Padres manager Bud Black started Tomko against Milwaukee, choosing to save his ace for the potential tiebreaker.
"We had this mapped out for a while that it could come to this, based on what was happening over the last couple weeks," Black said. "And that was the case. We feel good with Jake, obviously."
Peavy has no record and a 1.29 ERA in two starts against the Rockies this year. He spent part of Sunday watching video of the Rockies, just in case he'd have to face them.
"They're as good as anybody in baseball," Peavy said. "But they're definitely a beatable team."
Colorado held on for a 4-3 victory over Arizona to force the play-in game, as Padres players cheered and groaned like fans as they sat in the visiting clubhouse at Miller Park.
They quickly focused on the positives, starting with Peavy's 10-1 record and 2.20 ERA over his last 13 starts.
"Jake's going to win the Cy Young for a reason -- he's one of the best, if not the best, pitcher in the game," Padres pitcher Chris Young said. "We've been swinging the bats well. Our bullpen's been throwing well, minus a couple of innings the past couple of games. But we're in great shape."
Tomko (4-12) cruised through the first three innings as the Padres took a 3-0 lead but fell apart soon after that. He allowed five runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Doug Brocail threw a tantrum in the dugout after giving up Gross' triple, knocking equipment off a shelf and winging his hat to the floor -- another sign that the Padres were unraveling.
Can they forget about the last two days?
"We have to," right fielder Brian Giles said. "It's a one-game season now."
Black said the team's mood was OK despite the discouraging loss.
"Obviously when you fall behind, and fall behind by a number of runs, it can be deflating," Black said. "But our mood was, overall, fine. Guys kept having good at-bats."
Jeff Suppan (12-12) pitched six innings to get the win as Milwaukee finished the season on an upbeat note with back-to-back comeback victories. The Brewers went 83-79 for their first winning season since 1992.
Still, they missed the playoffs -- a disappointing end to the season for a team that held an 8½-game lead in the NL Central in late June.
"We played the way we would like other clubs to play for us in those situations," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "We were going to go full out. We feel like we owe it to Major League Baseball to give our very best effort even though we were eliminated."
Milwaukee -- the town, not the baseball team -- also made off with some of Peavy's money. The Padres pitcher went to a local casino Saturday night and lost his money clip.
A bad omen?
"I don't think so," Peavy said. "Just me being careless."
- Prince Fielder did not play because of a high right ankle sprain he sustained when San Diego's Jason Lane slid into first base in the 11th inning on Saturday.
- Veteran umpire Bruce Froemming, a Milwaukee native, received a standing ovation before working the final regular-season game of his career.

Read More: Department of Juvenile Justice, Equality Virginia
LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Virginia has issued a statement commending the Board of Juvenile Justice's decision to add protections against sexual-orientation based discrimination in residential facilities overseen by the Department of Juvenile Justice Services. The Board voted 5-1 earlier this month to add the specific language to their rules for residential programs. Similar prohibitions have been in place for non-residential facilities since July 2011.
"Equality Virginia continues to be grateful that the Board and the professional staff of the Department of Juvenile Justice recognize the vulnerable position of the youth in their care who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) and their ongoing need for protection from discrimination in non-residential and residential programs operated unfer the Department's auspices," said James Parrish, Executive Director of Equality Virginia.
Equality Virginia also condemned Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli for advising the Board not to implement the change of language. Similar protections already exist based on race, religion, national origin, sex and disability.
Zack Budryk, a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, has been writing since age 10 working towards a career of advocacy-based investigative journalism.

Bloemfontein: Former captain Alistair Campbell was so stunned by his call-up to the Zimbabwe World Cup squad that he had to borrow a teammate's kit to practise on Monday."At my age, when you are snubbed for the World Cup, you think that's it," said the 30-year-old at Goodyear Park ahead of Wednesday's vital Super Six match against Kenya.Campbell was in South Africa as a television commentator but received the call after Mark Vermeulen sustained a fractured skull while batting in the nets against teammate Travis Friend on Friday."I was on my way to Cape Town on Sunday morning for some studio work when I got the call at 11am. I phoned up my wife and asked her to leave some kit at the Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) in Harare. "Hopefully, it will arrive this evening." At nets on Monday, Campbell was using kit borrowed from star batsman and fellow left-hander Andy Flower. "I was hitting them quite well. It must be Andy Flower's bat. But he won't let me have his good one."Still it's one thing hitting them well in the nets, another thing out in the middle." Campbell lost his place in the Zimbabwe side and has not played cricket for six weeks. "My last match was for Manicaland against Matabeland in our One-day competition. I made five which was quite good - it only took me two balls," Campbell joked before adding that he expected to play in Wednesday's match. "I don't think they would have called me up otherwise. Vermeulen is an opener, I'm an opener. They've been having to use makeshift openers so I guess I'll play."He added that he had benefited from Zimbabwe's intensive pre-World Cup training camp. "We did a lot of work there. But I'm sure I'll feel a bit stiff tomorrow. You're bound to, especially if you haven't played for a long period of time."Campbell, who said he'd been doing the odd weight session in between broadcasting stints, admitted that commentating was a nice way of life, but insisted he had not let himself go physically. "I haven't been eating pie and chips and drinking 20 pints." Looking ahead to Wednesday's match, he said he expected a close encounter in what, with hosts South Africa as well as Namibia out of the tournament, is a contest between the last two African teams left in the World Cup."The Kenyans have got no world-beaters, but their bowlers bowl an irritating length, there are not too many balls to hit. And their batsmen are capable of posting a score."But the biggest thing about them is the way they bustle in the field. They're at you and you only have to see how they react when they take a wicket. If you given them an opening they go for the jugular. You've got to put pressure on them early."This is a big game - if they beat us they are in the semi-final. It's a high stakes match. But we've just got to concentrate on what we do. If you talk about the pressure all the time you won't be doing the things you're meant to be."Copyright AFP 2001

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I'm going to review both Blackout and All Clear as one review, since they are the same story merely separated by the physical constraints of how big a book can be printed in one binding.
Connie Willis drives me crazy. She writes books that by the end of them you're hanging on every word and caring about the characters and situations they're in, within a very cool historical construct that just enhances the drama.
On the other hand, her characters fret and worry about every freaking detail, and her cliffhangers chapter to chapter are invariably false, assumptions that the characters make that are just that. After a while the fatigue of listening to banal thought after banal thought just drives me crazy.
But, somehow, it sucks you in, until you forget the parts that drive you crazy, until somehow, it all works, and the story is told and you sit down and say, "whew". And you think about the book for about two weeks, and think, man it would be a classic if she just had an editor that kept her focused on moving the plot forward.
In Blackout, Connie Willis brings the same quality storytelling and grasp of history to the London Blitz that she previously applied to the black death in her Hugo and Nebula Award winning novel Doomsday Book. In Willis' novel, historians Michael Davies, Merope Ward, and Polly Churchill travel from 2060 Oxford to 1940 London, Dover, and Backbury. Events collude to prevent all three from returning to their own time when they should and Michael and Merope converge on London to seek Polly's help. Willis' historical background and use of detail help to recreate the long-past world of 1940 England and infuse a sense of tension into the story as characters try to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Additionally, while Willis' version of time travel supposedly precludes the ability to change history, her characters begin to fear that their actions are altering events. As an historian myself, I find the premise fascinating and tempting. Willis writes of the technology and those who use it, "Which is why historians must do on-site research, Polly thought. There were simply too many errors in the historical record" (pg. 100). The ability to verify the historical record would offer a nice advantage, though Willis makes it clear that traditional research would continue to play a role. Her writing blends the best of science- and historical-fiction.
While this is a time travel story it is largely about how people coped on the home front in WWII England. I stayed up much too late at night while reading Blackout. However, it was a good thing that I knew it was just half of the story. I'll be ordering All Clear from the library as soon as I return some others.
***warning: Blackout and All Clear are really one book spilt into two due to length. Be sure you have access to All Clear when you finish Blackout or you will be frustrated! I'm reviewing both books as one due to that fact***
Blackout and All Clear alternate between 2060 Oxford, England, where time travel has been invented and is used by historians to explore the past, and the 1940s England where historians are living through key bits of the London Blitz to get the civilian perspective. Of course, because this is a story, at some point things start to go wrong….
I loved these books. The characters are engaging and likeable. The time travel is reasonable – the rules are fleshed out enough for you to understand the guidelines without being bogged down in excessive details, and it hangs together well enough for the purposes of the story. The problems that the characters must overcome are really more of an excuse to explore the historical time period in more depth, but I did not find them overly contrived or annoying. I genuinely liked the characters, so I cared about their wellbeing and continued fate. There are some points in the middle of the book where I got tired of series of endless coincidences or characters whining about their fates, but it didn't slow me down and in the end I thoroughly enjoyed the story.
The details of civilian life in the blitz were very interesting to me – it is a perspective on the war that I have not learned much about, and this book has inspired me to go learn more. I don't know enough about the time period to comment on its historical accuracy, but it seems to be historical fiction with emphasis on the historical rather than the fiction (time travel aside, of course).
Despite being a pair of fairly long books, they were very engaging, kept me up past my bedtime several nights, and were a fast read. Part of this is because the book alternates between several different perspectives, and would often end a chapter on a cliffhanger with one character and then jump to a new character. This can be annoying when you really need to go to sleep, but does keep you turning the pages. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys well written time travel fiction, or who enjoys WWII historical fiction, particularly the civilian side rather than the military battles.
All Clear picks up immediately where Blackout leaves off – no recap, no refresher. Blackout ends in the middle of the story – no mid plot closure. So it really is best to read both books back to back.
Blackout, by Connie Willis
First Impressions:
I love time travel stories and so when I found out about Connie Willis writing one, I had to pick this up. One of my favorite books of hers was "Doomsday Book", about historians of the late 21st century journeying back to the Black Plague and how they coped. In that story, Connie weaved a tale of a historian who got a first-hand glimpse of how hard life was, and the people she became attached to slowly died from the Plague – which she, thankfully, was inoculated from.
But I digress! The same Oxford 21st Century professor, Mr. Dunworthy from "Doomsday Book" reprises his role as various characters mingle with him and our heroes gather up their scholarly wits and go off to England during the Blitz (a horrific time, with Hitler bombing England to soften it up for invasion – which invasion thankfully never happened).
The usual format is for the historians to make their observations and return to Oxford, except something is very wrong. The portals that are supposed to open are not opening. And the retrieval team who is supposed to be coming to help in case a historian is trapped or delayed is not coming. What's going on?
Style & Plot:
Connie writes in a way where we as readers ask the same questions as the historians in the novel – how much longer can I endure this? Why is the portal not opening? Kind of like being trapped on an island with no way off – literally.
Connie breaks the book down into three episodic narratives – Polly (her last name is Churchill, so she changes it for obvious reasons since she's jumping into 1940), Mike and Merope (who takes the name Eileen) – and jumps to each person's tale every other chapter. This style is new to me and took some getting used to. For example, just as Mike was shanghaied on a barely navigable boat to pick up British soldiers at Dunkirk we jump to Eileen's problems with a measles epidemic and then I have to wait three or so chapters to get back to Mike and see what happens. I had to flip a few chapters over to catch what happened! As I said, this style of writing took some getting used to.
Time Travel Trouble:
Time travel is interesting where the historians talk of it, as being unchanging. Yet Mike saved a man who saved 500 soldiers who would have died otherwise – did this change history? Could this be why Oxford never came to retrieve them? That England had lost the war?! Nonsense, thinks Polly. Meantime, Eileen is developing shell-shock!
Exciting scenes include saving men from Dunkirk, as Mike struggles with his conscience – if he helps in the rescue, will he change history? Eileen as she deals with Alf and Binnie, two brats who cause much confusion and trouble – what is their connection in the future? And Polly, who comes across as a bit arrogant in her time-travel knowledge (example: A person will mention a place getting blown up and Polly will think "Oh, yes it will." Willis does this several times rather than on occasion which comes across pedantic and annoying).
Bottom Line:
Despite its flaws, Blackout develops three characters that we really care about and as the three historians meet and confer and involve their 1940s friends in their lives, I get the same kind of feeling I got on "Doomsday Book" – these people of the past are not just pictures on paper or facts in a history book, but living, breathing humans. Is foreknowledge an advantage or a curse when you're a 21st century historian?
"All Clear" which is essentially Part II of this series, not actually a sequel, follows right after "Blackout." You can't have one without the other, so buy both!
Science fiction and the historical novel only seem to be utter opposites. I mean, future vs. past, right? In fact, the two genres are closely related. Both transport the reader to strange, disorienting worlds, where the people, beliefs and social norms are often distinctly alien to a present-day sensibility.
In certain kinds of time-travel stories, it's often difficult to tell the two genres apart. Is "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" historical fiction or proto science fiction? Certainly, Connie Willis's new novel, her first since "Passage" (2001), about near-death experiences, is as vivid an evocation of England during World War II as anyone has ever written. It's also indisputably science fiction. . . .
If you're a science-fiction fan, you'll want to read this book by one of the most honored writers in the field (10 Hugos, six Nebulas); if you're interested in World War II, you should pick up "Blackout" for its you-are-there authenticity; and if you just like to read, you'll find here a novelist who can plot like Agatha Christie and whose books possess a bounce and stylishness that Preston Sturges might envy.
That said, "Blackout" does end with a cliffhanger, which may leave some readers dissatisfied: The whole story won't be completely resolved till October when Ballantine/Spectra publishes a second and concluding volume titled "All-Clear." Still, this is Connie Willis, my friends, which means she's worth reading now, and she's worth reading in the future.
What she's also able to do is to play her reader like a newly tuned piano. Scenes that could be milked for every last mawkish drop somehow get around your defenses and wring out your heart.

And Holly Makes Three!

Iraq veteran and hero dog rescuer Steven Johnston and his family add a new Mutt-i-gree® to their global pack
It's hard to imagine living in one of the most dangerous places in the world, where each day is a fight for survival. But that's the reality facing all of our brave soldiers serving in combat zones around the globe.
For Steven Johnston, a yearlong tour of duty became an opportunity not only to defend his country, but to defend some innocent canines that were living under brutal conditions.
While stationed in Iraq in August 2009, Steven, a special agent for the Diplomatic Security Service, developed a very special connection with Oso, a tiny homeless pup that he found wandering the streets of Baghdad. But Oso—whose name came from the fact that the soldiers thought he was "oh so cute"—wasn't the only dog that Steven took under his protection.
With the help of his fellow soldiers, Steven cared for Misty May, a pregnant stray dog who had the good fortune to cross paths with the animal-loving servicemen. Despite enormous obstacles, they hid Oso and Misty May in bombed-out buildings and other safe havens, moving them to new locations when their current hiding place became unsafe. Once Misty May gave birth, the soldiers continued to provide shelter and food to the new mother, along with Oso and the pups, whom they named Freckles, Sox and Max.
But when his tour was up, Steven knew the dogs were in grave danger if they were left behind. "Stray dogs are routinely slaughtered by gunshots, poisoning and drowning," he says.
Enlisting the aid of an organization called Operation Baghdad Pups, along with the help of his wife Penny at home in Connecticut, Steven made sure Oso and the pups were transported safely to the U.S.
Although he was saddened by the fact that he could not find Misty May when the time came to fly the dogs home, he's comforted knowing that her babies, along with her pal Oso, are now living the dream of every dog: to be adopted into a home with a family who loves them.
Oso became part of the Johnston family, joining Steven, Penny, and their children Steve and Mia—along with Sophie, their resident Mutt-i-gree, who was adopted from North Shore Animal League America. Freckles and Sox were adopted by a Connecticut family, while Max is safe and loved with his new family in Virginia.
For his selfless dedication to rescuing these innocent dogs, Animal League America presented Steven with our Hero Award at our DogCatemy Mutt-i-grees® Rescue Awards Gala, held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York on December 17, 2012.
But the award wasn't the only thing Steven and Penny took home that night. At the beginning of the gala, the couple posed for a photo on the Red Carpet with one of Animal League America's dogs who was up for adoption, and (you guessed it) they fell in love with her!
Today, the Johnston household is now home to three rescued dogs: Sophie, Oso and new arrival Holly, the puppy from the gala!
"Our Mutt-i-grees all have such easygoing personalities," says Penny, a passionate advocate of adopting and rescuing animals. "They're so social and well-trained."
Sophie, Oso and Holly "are all loving each other," says Steven. "It's funny to see big Oso's maternal/paternal instincts show. He loves Holly! Our kids can't get enough of the new puppy."
North Shore Animal League America wants to thank the entire Johnston family for their dedication to the rescue of innocent Mutt-i-grees, the animals from shelter or rescue groups. In our book, the Johnstons are all heroes!

why would a cat purr loudly while eating. This is not normal for this particular cat of mine.
when she purrs it sounds like a loud boat motor runing

Cats purr for a number of reasons. Izzie purrs when he's scared, for instance, as well as when he's happy. When he was neutered, the technician commented more than once that the whole time he was in the cage "waking up", he was purring like crazy. She was so proud of herself for treating him so well, I didn't have the heart to tell her that he purrs when he's scared spitless as well as happy. Cats can change their attitudes toward things just like people do. If she's in a particularly good or affectionate mood, this may be why she's purring. However, if you notice any other different or strange behaviors, it's time to call the vet for their advice.

My cat always purrs when he eats (because he LOVES food). However, cats may purr when in pain to soothe themselves, so watch her closely... if you see any other symptoms that suggest she might be having trouble with eating, take her in to the vet. It could be anything from mouth ulcers to more serious issues.

In May this year, Whiskey Creek Press will release Amy Gallow's final book, Mitchell's Run. This fulfills a promise I made to myself when Saltwater Press failed in 2006. Mitchell's Run was my first attempt at writing a romance story and it won two National writing competitions before it was published as a paperback in Australia in 1999. In 2005, when Saltwater Press made an attempt to break into the US paperback market, I rewrote it at Saltwater Press' request, changing the location from the Victorian High Country and Melbourne to the Sierra Nevada and Sacremento, drawing on research and personal memories. Although the book sold its print run, the slow returns generally killed Saltwater Press bringing a gallant endeavour to an end.
Because I never felt that the story and characters translated well to the US setting and to justify Diane Colman's faith in me, I decided to see it released in its original setting in E-book format, an area it had never reached and Whiskey Creek agreed.
This is the opening
Cynthia was dying. She'd dragged herself out of the creek after crashing through the ice and struggled through the snow until her last reserve was exhausted. The biting cold was fading and her final sleep only the blink of an eye away.
"Not yet, Goldilocks." His chiding was gentle, a tolerant parent reminding a beloved child. "You still have things to do."
It could have been her father, but he was half a world away, in Africa, helping others. Resentment stirred, halting her retreat from life...
"Good for you, Goldilocks. Feed that anger. We'll need it to get you to shelter." He grasped her right wrist and wrapped her arm around his neck. "Up you get."
She felt his other hand grasp the waistband of her ski pants and she was lifted bodily, her sodden ski jacket gaping at the bottom to funnel an icy blast of wind against her cringing flesh and shock her back to the world of piercing cold and clinging snow.
She'd been rescued.
"A hundred paces and you'll live," he promised.
She shuddered violently, her involuntary movement almost pitching them both face down in the snow.
He staggered then recovered, startling her with a short bark of laughter. "I "m saving your life, Goldilocks. You won't offend me by helping."
In a distant corner of her mind, where a small part of Cynthia was still acting as an objective observer, her fear overwhelmed hope. Someone had found her, but shelter was impossibly far and he was alone. One death would become two.
She tried to help, but only succeeded in making his task more difficult as he half-carried, half-dragged her through the deep snow. The thin crust of ice would not support their combined weight and he sank to his waist at each step while her legs floundered helplessly to find a footing on the slick surface.
"Keep those legs moving, Goldilocks," he urged, his voice cutting through the wind's howl. "It is not far now."
A single moment more was forever to Cynthia. She could feel herself slipping away, all feeling ebbing from her body. Her rescuer was tiring and she could hear desperation in the words echoing inside her mind. Worse, she could sense his fear.
They reached a screen of bushes and he broke through with a lunge that sent them sprawling full length into the sheltered lee of an overhanging rock ledge. Two metres away, yellow light gleamed around the edges of a rough plank door, but her thought processes were now too slow to understand its significance. The interrupted process of dying had taken charge and she was sinking back into the comfort of sleep.
"No you don't." He shook her awake. "I won't let you die!"
She felt him stagger to his feet, lifting her with him as he made those few final steps to sanctuary, battering the door aside with his shoulder. The bitter wind became just a sound as she felt herself lowered onto the dry wooden bed of a trolley. As the last tenuous threads of her consciousness unravelled and blackness engulfed the tiny spark of life, she felt a rush of pity for him. He'd tried so hard, but she'd let him down.

595cc & 535cc polyurethane gummy bear Silimed teardrop over muscle (after 45kgs weightloss & 1 child) - 26 yrs old, Brisbane, AU
First post! I lost a lot of weight in 11, I also...
First post! I lost a lot of weight in 11, I also breast fed my son for 8 months. I first had a consult with Dr Daniel Flemming in 2011, the first thing he said was that I needed a peri areola lift which shattered me. He said under the muscle after my lift healed and recommended a big size. I've been waiting for a few years and I'm ready!
Pre Op appointment booked for 28th May
Going to go over the sizes again on the 28th with Dr Ron Bezic. My surgery date is all booked in and has been brought forward to July 22nd!! I have a million questions I'm writing down for my surgeon. Can't wait! After the 28th I'll post some pre op pics and some sizing ones too :)
Pre-op stuff arrived!
My pre-op paperwork arrived! This is making it more real!! Can't wait for my next appointment on the 28th of May.
Before pics and DIY rice sizer pics
Just adding a few before pics and some sizer pics :) I made some at home with stockings and rice. I filled one side with the equivalent of 490cc's and the other with 540 cc's :)
Pre-op appointment done!
So today I had my pre-op appointment. I had several questions for Dr Bezic. He thoughtfully and truthfully answered each one. I was worried about not having a gap, I was worried that he had ordered low profile but he actually ordered high and ultra high. I really was worried about the size choice (like everyone else) and I had a few general questions. The original size I chose was 540 and 490 (due to asymmetry). After wearing rice sizers around, I decided I wanted bigger. I didn't know if it were an option. He said I may end up with a problem of side boob due to the width of the larger implant and a top line due to there being not enough tissue at the top to hide it. He said if we went higher we would go 595 in one and 535 in the other. I asked if there were a way for him to test it while I was under and if it looked no good, he would put the original choice in. He's going to order both choices, then test the pocket with some sizers. He'll try the big size first, if that looks ok, he'll open the box. If the sizers don't look good, he'll open the smaller box, that way he won't waste a set and can reuse them. Either way, I trust him and his opinion. I'm so, so excited and feel so much better about everything now!. Just waiting on my loan to come through so I can pay the balance!
55 days to go!!!

Boobs here we come!
I just signed my loan documents tonight!! I got approved! Woohoo!!! Boobs here we come!!!!
Well, that's probably the last time I'm going to see $10,000 in my account! I've just transferred my balance over to the surgeons office. Everything is starting to feel real!
Waiting, waiting..
I suppose it doesn't feel real at the moment. I seem to be counting weeks on the Calendar.
I've been stressed lately, working full time and being a single mum is a tough gig. I quit smoking 1 week and 1 day ago. The first day after I quit was the worst by far. I was twitchy and couldn't sit still all day at work. I had a moment where I almost let go and gave in. My son had an epic tantrum, the kind of tantrums they have where they cry so hard they can't stop and they gasp for air and yawn because they wore themselves out. He hadn't had one like that since about 2 years ago! I was so close to buying cigarettes and smoking a dozen. I know quitting is good for my health and will be great for my recovery after surgery but I'm finding it a little tough at the moment without them.

30 days and counting!!
I can't wait! 30 days to go!!!
3 weeks to go!
Three weeks to go, I can't believe this is creeping up so slowly! My op is on a Tuesday here in Aus and I'm now wondering if I have taken enough time off.. I took the week off and am supposed to be back to work the following Monday. Ladies, how much time did you take off? I'm getting over the muscle so I know the recovery is quicker than under.
Also, unrelated but I got my tattoo fixed over the weekend, I've been meaning to do it for ages and thought I better get it done before my op so it has time to heal. I'm going to be adding bits all the way around down to my elbow to make a sleeve :)

13 days!
13 days to go! My last update said that time was creeping up slowly. I had a brain fart, I meant quickly oops! I've been working 2 jobs and unfortunately ended up hurting my back very badly. On top of that, I'm sick!! Worst timing ever!! I really hope out of both of those that at least my back recovers before I get my surgery, I couldn't think of anything worse than recovering from surgery with a bad back!
Ok so I went to the doctors today hoping I could get some strong painkillers. First she checked my temperature and then she looked in my ears and at the back of my throat she said I have a terrible sinus infection. Apparently My ears were so red and swollen inside that she could hardly see!! So I got antibiotics for that. Then came the painkillers she wouldn't give me endone or anything really morphine-based/really strong but she gave me this medication and I took it today while I was at work which was the worst mistake ever because I went Loopy!! I could hardly concentrate and my boss actually asked me to look in the mirror because apparently my eyes were so glazed over and that I looked like I was stoned hahaha. Luckily my boss understands that the back pain is uncontrollable and really affects the way that you live and he knows that I'm a single mum and I've been working really hard lately so he said that I should've taken time off but I can't because I have my surgery and I want to use my holiday pay for that. I also got some anti-Inflammitories and have actually been able to move around more without so much pain. Ohh also I'm officially a non smoker, it's been 40 days since I had a ciggy! 12 days to go until surgery!!!
My clinic called to do a pre-op phone call. She said my time has changed to 2:30pm and need to be there at 1:30pm. 1 front closing bra will be provided, I have to fast from 7am onward (no water, nothing!) I must have a shower in the morning and wash my hair. No jewellery (I have no idea how I'm going to get my septum piercing out!) no wearing deodorant or perfume. No nail polish. I can't shower for 2 days after. I have an appointment booked the next day to see Dr Bezic at the clinic. I also asked about the medications I've been taking, she said I should have stopped them 2 weeks ago. The thing is, I wouldn't have survived the last week without them with the way my back is at the moment :( anyway, that's all I can think off. I'm looking forward to surgery but more looking forward to the forced rest I'll have after. I can't wait!!
I'm really very disappointed, not excited :( My back hasn't repaired, it's just been getting worse. I've been working 2 jobs, getting home late and just crashing, then trying to clean the whole house and do washing on the weekends so I can come home with nothing to do. Really, I just haven't stopped. It's no wonder my back hasn't started getting better. Not being able to take pain killers is awful. I've also now developed sciatica in my legs :( I can't believe my rotten luck. I'm not putting the surgery off, although I think I should. I can imagine the recovery will be horrible because I currently use my arms to push/pull myself up and I imagine my arms will be sore after surgery :( 3 days to go.. Wish my back was better :(
Today's the day!
Here we go! I'm just waiting for the surgeon to see me to draw on me. I'm so excited now and a tiny bit nervous. Bye bye boobs! It's been good knowing you.
Couldn't be happier!
The hospital called me in a little earlier yesterday (1pm instead of 2) so I finished packing my bags at the last minute and got my father to rush me to hospital. The excited feeling was finally kicking in! I went through pre-op checks (blood pressure, temperature, weight etc) then I got dressed into a gown, cap and booties. They were running behind so I probably didn't need to come in early but a few more hours of waiting wasn't going to kill me! Dr Ron Bezic is lovely, he drew on me and did a few measurements and we decided to go with the bigger size (595cc on one side and 535cc on the other) I was led away into the operating theatre and had to move over to the table, that was the worst part because of my back. The anesthetist was lovely, he put a cannula in my arm to administer the anesthetic and stuck some sticky things on my head etc. I saw Ron come in and he gave me a pat on the arm and a big smile asking how I felt and if I was ready. The anesthetist gave me the first dose then I remember asking a question but anything after that is gone! I woke up in recovery and tried to open my eyes but couldn't see. I was very aware of the conversation around me but just wished I could open my eyes. When I finally could I looked down. WOW!! They are huge! Haha. The nurse came over and asked how I was, I'm quite the chatter so we talked for a bit. She gave me a cup of lemonade and she said I seemed to have recovered very quickly and did I think I would be ok to get up! So they helped me sit up (back hurt) and I got a look from above. They popped a front closing bra on me and were debating over whether I would end up an E or F cup!! They helped me get dressed, I went to a recliner and had a cup of tea, some sandwiches and some Panadol (mainly for my back, my breasts were fine!) if you've had kids before it feels similar to the tightness you get when your milk comes in. They are essentially numb all over except for the tops. I think I went under at 3:30pm and was collected to go home at 6:45pm! Talk about quick recovery! They used the 24hr rapid recovery method and aside from some tightness and discomfort, I'm feeling fantastic. I had a hard time sleeping on a 45 degree angle but managed to nap through the night. Pillows, pillows, pillows! They are your best friend! That's all I can think of for now, I have a nice relaxing day ahead of me before going to see Dr Bezic at 1pm before he flys back down to Sydney. Over all, I'm very happy with the result so far, they can only get better from here!!
Post-op appointment and photos
Just adding some more photos. Post op appointment done! The nurse and Dr Bezic were very happy with the result. The nurse said that if she didn't know I had asymmetry before, she never would have guessed! I have to leave my nipple piercing out, was hoping to put it back in but don't want to run the risk of an infection. I can shower tonight which is great then I'll go back in a week to get my strips changed. Only one more night of sleeping upright and then I can do what is comfortable from there. I can't wait to see the results further down the track! Both the nurse and Ron said there was a fair but of fluid/swelling which will go down with time. I also have little shelves on the tops which will go down too. Feeling a little bruised and sore but overall, not in a great deal of pain. Just tired!
3 days post-op
Well, other than being uncomfortable while I sleep, I'm doing well! I'm surprised about the recovery, I thought it would be much worse. I'm starting to get some feeling back in the tops of my breasts and a little around the sides. They are beginning to feel a little less foreign in my body and a little more like a part of me. (Don't get me wrong, they still feel like giant melons under my skin but slowly we'll get there!) everyone's reactions have been positive, everyone is really happy for me. I go back to work on Monday so I'm curious to see what the reactions are like, not many people knew I was having this done. I've still got heaps of fluid and swelling/bruising on the sides but getting better. I went to buy some more post-op bras today and got fitted with a 14 E or 16 DD. I only got given one post-op bra from the surgeons office and all the ones I bought pre surgery were too uncomfortable or didn't fit. Probably the only thing I would provide feedback on in terms of aftercare is that perhaps with all the money I spent on the surgery, 2 bras could be afforded to the patient (1 to wear while you are washing the other). I mentioned this to the Nurse and she said she would gladly provide another so that's great and I'll get it off her at my next follow up appointment on Thursday. In other news, I went to the docs today to get a steroid injection for my back, he couldn't find an entry point so he sent me for a CT scan (see pic). I'm not a radiologist but I compared side by side my spine next to a "normal" one and mine looks messed up big time!! I'll find out Monday hopefully what is wrong.
1 week post-op
Well, one week down! A lot of the swelling is going away but still quite a bit there. I went back to work on Monday. I thought I would be ok (which I was) but ended up being very tired at the end of the day and being that I sit in front of a computer for most of the day, I got very sore from sitting still. Today by the end of the day I thought it was like day one, they were so tight and felt swollen all over again. By the time I got home I was much better (after movement). I'm really happy with my result so far. When they were first done they looked exactly the same. I can see though that the left breast which was smaller to begin with is now starting to look smaller as the swelling goes down. Dr Bezic put 60cc more in my smaller side (left) to compensate but honestly it feels like the bigger implant is sitting on the wrong side. I'm hoping the swelling is just more in my right and will go down. I'm ok if there is slight asymmetry but I won't be happy if there is a noticeable difference like before surgery. I also seem to have this other crease where a bruise is. It's hard to see in photos but in the mirror it looks like another crease or start of double bubble. I hope it's nothing and goes away! Only time will tell I guess!
1 week appointment
I had my 1 week appointment today. We took off the tape and the scars look great except for a little bit on the right breast. It seems to have not healed/closed over. The nurse wanted me to keep an eye out for oozing/infection and not get it wet for 2 days. She'll call me tomorrow apparently. She didn't give me another bra like I asked.. I got given my implant ID cards and my receipt to claim back the asymmetry part for Medicare. I also got some silicon gel tape to put on my scars from Saturday onward. She said they were looking good and things I'll be an E to F!
My scars are looking ok but both of them are irritated and have about 1cm of an unhealed part. I ended up asking Ron for Antibiotics. He lives in a different state, I text him (on a Sunday night!) and by the next day asked him to fax a script which he did within the hour. Talk about good service! Anyway, I'll start taking them tomorrow to be on the safe side. As you can see in the pics, they don't look too happy!
Looking and feeling great!
Antibiotics have helped and the right one has started healing. Overall, I'm very happy with my result and can't wait to see what they look like in a proper bra!!
3 weeks down
Well, I'm 3 weeks down. I'm still loving them! My scars are looking much better. One is still a little bit irritated but I'm happy now with their progress. My breasts are still numb in some places and my nipples are hyper sensitive, to the point where it's painful. It almost feels like the feeling you get just before a let down when you're breast feeding! I know I'm not supposed to until 6 weeks but I really wanted to see what size I was measuring at and wanted to see what the girls would look like in a "proper" bra rather than a sports bra. I didn't buy any just incase my shape changes but I did try on a few quickly :) I'm so happy with the way they look!
4 week check up
I had my 4 week check up with Dr Bezic. He said they looked fantastic and he seemed to be very pleased with the result. The reason my right incision was having trouble was because there was a stitch making it's way to the surface. He pulled it out and now hopefully it will heal properly! He showed me my before photo, the difference is amazing! I won't see him until October now but he said I can sleep on my side (phew!) and wear underwire bras at 6 weeks :) so happy!!
Oh my F'ing god!
I went to Myer yesterday to get a proper bra (get fitted etc). She measured me at a 14F!!! An F???!!!!!! I can think of another F word to use!! Wow! Did not expect that as only a few weeks ago I measured as an E (unless the girl measured wrong) I bought a black tshirt bra size 14F for $69.95. There was not much choice in size F let me tell you and nothing on sale in those sizes. Hmmmm.. Loving my girls but not loving the limited clothing and brazier choices. Every morning I have a battle with my wardrobe. I ordered a bikini about a month ago and it just arrived yesterday "XL" apparently. The bottoms fit perfectly but the top was about a C cup so off it goes to eBay for resale. I went to an outlet store on the Gold Coast and went into 10 different swimwear shops, nobody had anything past a size 12. I even tried Kmart and Target etc but nothing would fit my girls! I'll have to shop online now that I know what size I am officially, little bit disheartening. I still adore them though!!
Scar update
Just updating to show my scars. They still look so red! I'm happy with my result so far but am finding it difficult to find clothes that fit a size F at the top but still remain a 12. Stretchy fabric is my friend!
6 months on
Well it's been a while! The girls have settled and I am much more comfortable with them. Measuring at a 14F! And every now and then finding it somewhat difficult to find nice bras and clothes that fit!
Happy Boobie day! 1 year!!!
Wow! Really? Has it been 1 whole year already? The girls have well and truly settled and are looking very natural. I didn't get much feeling back unfortunately, only the tops are normal but the sides and underneath are completely numb. I ended up an F or sometimes an E depending on brand etc. Cleavage is hard to obtain without a proper push up bra but even then it's not dramatic because they are so heavy and no bra can truly lift them up!! The scars are healing well, one of them isn't as good as the other, that's the one that wasn't healing right after surgery.. Overall, I'm very happy with my result. Ron did a great job :) I'm on the train so a boob selfie is not appropriate right now hahaha! I'll post one soon xxx
From the first moment I met Dr Bezic I knew he would be the right surgeon for me. I felt instantly relaxed and comfortable. He listened to all of my concerns and answered my lists of questions thoroughly. He was careful in his consideration of going larger and explained the risks but was agreeable on my size choice unlike previous opinions from other surgeons. I don't believe that he would have led me astray if the information wasn't thought out. Dr Bezic also has lovely bed side manner, is wonderful and I would recommend him to anyone. Ron did a fantastic job with my breasts and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I cannot wait to see the final result in a few months!

GM has officially priced the 2012 SRX from $36,060 (*including $875 for destination).
Other changes for the 2012 model year include standard Bluetooth connectivity on all models, a new Xenon Blue Metallic paint option, new interior color choices and a revised 20-inch wheel pattern, among other things. Follow the jump to read GM's official press release with the full details and check out the 2012 SRX in our gallery above.
- New 3.6L V6 boosts power with ECO mode for efficient driving
- Retail sales up 18 percent, with 1.5 point segment share increase in 2011
DETROIT – The Cadillac SRX, a fast-rising favorite among midsize luxury crossovers, receives a significant upgrade for the 2012 model year starting in August. A new 308-horsepower 3.6L direct-injected V6 engine gives SRX the most standard power in its class, and includes a driver-selectable ECO Mode for optimal fuel economy.
While gaining substantial horsepower, the new LFX engine delivers comparable fuel economy to predecessor engines because of its more mass-efficient design and the ECO Mode, which sets revised shift points in the 6-speed HydraMatic automatic transmission to maximize economy.
The 2012 SRX carries a standard price of $36,060 including $875 destination charge. Other upgrades and changes in the SRX for 2012 include standard Bluetooth on all models, an optional heated steering wheel, a xenon Blue Metallic exterior paint option that will be available in fall 2011, an all-ebony interior option with contrasting stitching, and a new 20-inch wheel finish option.
"We're taking a winning product in the SRX and reaching higher," said Don Butler, Cadillac vice president of marketing. "The crossover category is one of the biggest and most important segments in the luxury market. SRX has performed very well and is the best selling Cadillac worldwide, but our approach is not to leave well enough alone."
Since the current generation launched 2010, SRX sales in the United States have moved from ninth to second in the segment, overtaking nearly all competitors. SRX retail sales are up 18 percent in 2011, gaining 1.5 share points this year. Additionally, 71 percent of SRX buyers are new to Cadillac, a high "conquest" rate in a luxury segment known for tradition and loyalty.
SRX features an advanced All Wheel Drive system with electronic limited slip rear differential that distributes power front-to-rear, and also can move power across the rear axle based on driving conditions and traction. The chassis includes Adaptive Real-Time damping technology for excellent ride control. Rainsense automatic windshield wipers connect to the braking system, enabling the brakes to conduct slight periodic caliper applications, keeping rotors dry for optimal stopping power in wet conditions.
SRX includes HID headlamps with Adaptive Forward Lighting, Bose 5.1 surround sound with navigation, a full-color LCD Driver Info Center, and a rear-view camera system. OnStar is standard and features myCadillac and OnStar RemoteLink mobile apps and Stolen Vehicle Assistance.
The SRX is Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 2011 Top Safety Pick with industry-leading active and passive safety and crash avoidance systems.

On Thin Ice by Susan Andersen
Sasha Miller was the Olympic medal skater. Her partner, Lonnie Morrison was just released from jail after 5 years for drugs. The cops were not able to charge her at all.
She had to leave the couples section and go back to singles and was on tour on the west coast with the winter ice folly shows.
At the same time the federal agency knows she did play a part and we keep an eye on her-the new manager is an agent.
She has a lot of secrets and finally confides in another skater, Connie.
When the screws on her blade come loose and she falls and hits her head, ends up in hospital then the manager's room I can only think of tonya harding and what she did to nancy kerrigan.
screws just don't get loose, not 4 of them. Lonnie is also hooking up with people from his past, bad scene. Lots of love scenes and others are getting hurt because they look very similar to what she would wear.
She starts piecing things together and fears for her life. Lots of action, adventure, travel and romance. pace is not too fast that you can't follow along. It's a really good mix.
I couldn't finish On Thin Ice. Besides the characters being not much of an inducement to keep reading, the premise was a major turn off for me. The heroine is a professional ice skater. The hero has gone undercover as the manager of her ice staking troop or whatever you call them – he suspects she's a drug dealer of all things. The bad guy is a jealous ice skating rival. The ice skating scene isn't my idea of an interesting backdrop to the drama of betrayal and passion that is purportedly being played out between the ice skater and the undercover cop. It all seemed so dated. My brain was filled with visions of tacky sequins and eighties leotards. I just couldn't stick with it. Reluctant reading turned to skimming turned to setting aside the book for good.
