Not changing my mind, and I can probably find articles to back up my point of view as well. We're not getting anywhere here.
We can agree to disagree - others can read the thread and make up their own mind.
Wrong or Right, Copper to Gold, Batwings to Cauldron, I will always follow the advice below as even if I'm wrong I know my magazine springs will be right. A self defense pistol or rifle for that matter which fails to function in a time of desperate need is a terrible thing one much worse than arguments over springs. Furthermore, creasing of the rounds by being left fully loaded in magazines for extended periods of time is perhaps another good reason not to. I know one thing when I shot that Berreta that didn't cycle because of the magazine spring or creasing of the rounds it shook me real good to consider what if? I know I will never leave magazines fully loaded for extended periods of time and rely on them 100%.
5. How often should I change magazine springs? Should I unload my magazines, rotate magazines, load with fewer than the maximum rounds?
Magazine springs in semi-auto pistols are one of the most critical springs and are the subject of much debate and concern. Magazines which are kept fully loaded for long periods of time, such as in law enforcement and personal/home defense applications, will generally be subject to more fatigue than the weekend shooter's magazine springs in which the magazines are loaded up only when shooting.
Magazine design and capacity also affect the longevity of the spring. In many older pistol designs, maximum capacity was not always the goal such as with the 7 round 1911 Colt magazines which could last for years fully loaded. There was room for more spring material in these guns which reduces overall stress and increases the usable life of the spring.
More recently higher capacity magazines have become popular. These are designed to hold more rounds with less spring material often in the same space. This puts more stress on the spring and will cause it to fatigue at a faster rate. Unloading these magazines a round or two will help the life of the spring. Rotating fully loaded magazines will also help the problem somewhat but it is not always practical.
In applications where the magazine must be kept loaded at all times, a high quality magazine spring such as Wolff extra power magazine springs, will provide maximum life. Regular replacement of magazine springs will provide the best defense against failure from weak magazine springs. Regular shooting of the pistol is the best way to be sure the springs are still functioning reliably.
The truth is we really don't know what exactly caused a spring to fail when we discover our spring is bad, because there are just to many variables. For example, did the spring come with a defect from the factory, is it made from a cheaper material, is this spring loaded in a single or double stack magazine, and what are the conditions in which it is stored. Some folks will claim to have knowledge in metallurgy, science, experience, etc, but they don't all seem to agree. I am not an expert on this subject and certainly am not trying to change the way anyone practices. However, common sense just tells me that rotating a magazine every month or two just seems to make sense. I also only load my Beretta 92 mags one shy of max capacity when being left stored. Why? Because, I doubt that I will ever be in a gunfight and lose because I had 14 rounds instead of 15. I also think that a large double stack mag puts more pressure on springs than a 1911 style. In addition, every once in a while I like to shoot the expensive hollow points at the practice range just to make sure everything is still functioning properly before I load it back up for defensive purposes. That way I know the magazine is working, the gun still cycles that ammo, no creases are forming on the cases, and I can hit with the ammo I plan to use for self defense. I may be crazy and waisting my time, but it really doesn't take that much time to cycle a magazine, especially if your doing it at the range:) And, for those who like to claim that science has already discovered the answer and that we are backward not to accept the facts. Well, the problem with scientists is that they are always discovering the answer and then later discovering that what was so obvious before is now obviously wrong. Sometimes, common sense tells me to stick to what works.
It has been my experience that the weapons I've fired that use double stack mags have springs that are fully compressed when fully loaded. When trying to insert a fully loaded mag when the slide or bolt is forward, the top round in the mag must be pushed down by the slide/bolt for the mag to be inserted. If the spring is fully compressed the extra space is made by the staggered rounds being pushed outboard. This made me have to hit the bottom of the mag to get it to lock in. The sides of the mag bulge causing the mag to want to stay in place even if the mag release is pressed. I have even seen m16 mags split at the seem where they are spot welded together due the performing repeated combat reloads with fully loaded mags (inserting fresh mag while round is still in chamber meaning bolt is forward). Because my carry piece has plastic double stack mags and plastic seems to have memory, I download them by 1. There are reasons other than 'spring fatigue' to consider downloading certain mags.
i use ramline magazines, no longer made.... but they used a coiled ribbon spring to maintain a steady pressure, no binding, and since the spring isnt under compression when the magazine is loaded, it makes these kinda debates useless. the coiled ribbon spring becomes smaller as the magazine is loaded and therefore creates more room for additional rounds beyond the standard magazine. these carry a lifetime guarantee thru ramline....
the company stopped producitng them during the assault weapons ban and magazine capacity limits.... too bad.
This thread could be used to help sell Revolvers.
This is a very good group of forums.
1. I'm on Zhurdan's side with regard to scientific method. And with regard to springs.
This has the caveat that the springs in question have to be properly designed with regard to all the possible spring variables to promote "proper life".
Amongst a myriad of "stuff", this means the spring metallurgy is "properly done", as well as the design variables.
2. I'm on Shipwreck's side when he claims "real world experience" In my humble opinion, his observations occurr because the
spring manufacturer did NOT follow all of the design/metallurgy requirements to achieve a spring with "infinite life" given it usage requirements.
Whether this is due to design ignorance, lack of proper steel material selection/heat treating, or just plain saving dollars I cannot say.
I can say that Shipwreck's "treating magazine's safety items" as the cautious alternative can obliviate "Item 2 problems" makes sense.
When in doubt, go conservative. (This is a real problem with airplanes. If you go "too conservative", the damn things won't fly).
Not a problem with magazines. Screw "the debate". Go conservative, replace springs. Expect them to work EVERY time they are needed.
The problem with this is do you actually know the replacement springs are any better than the "trash" you replaced ? Do you ?
Hey, I just stumbled on the answer ! It's revolvers !
In return for going back to only five or six rounds, the damn things work every time !
I'm taking my FS92 and my extra 15 round mag off my nightstand next to my Mossberg 500 with 7 + 1 double-ought buckshot.
And, replacing it with my Ruger SuperRedhawk Alaskan 2.5 in. snubby in .454 Casull.
I may not be able to hit anything when the dogs wake me up from a deep sleep. But, by G_D, they'll be bailing due to the noise ! :mrgreen:
Spring steel comes in different tensile strengths and will not change by being compressed. Working the spring rapidly will create heat, and heat, over time will alter the tensile strength of the spring. Loading a spring and leaving it loaded will not weaken the spring steel.
But as for ram line, you should check the glocktalk forum... There is a guy that started a thread there last week, nostalgic about the old Ramline items...No remember Ramline differently, and so does everyone else that posted, except for mr nostalgic.... :)
I remember Ramline mags in the 1990s are jam-o-mastic garbage that wouldn't even feed one round without jamming. Right before the 1994 ban, distributors hoarded hi cap factory mags, in anticipation of what they could get for them once the ban went into effect. So all that was left in my area of the country were aftermarket mags... I tried several Ramline mags. They were horrendous.
I see all sorts of typos in that from my ipad autocorrect - Damn autocorrect...
But yea - Ramline is known as junk....

I don't lock up whatever weapon I have out for defense. That's not where it needs to be. It needs to be with me. It's on me most all the time less I'm at my desk for a while then it's on my desk. I put on my night stand when I lay down. I don't have kids around the house much anymore.
If one was to have kids in the house it's your job as a parent to teach children to never touch a firearm. I taught my kids early and often that guns are not toys and they are very dangerous for kids to handle without proper supervision. My kids are grown and still would never touch a firearm in my house unless it is me that is handing it to them.

Just curious because when I was little, I hardly had any "play dates" and there weren't many kids my age on my block. I was the youngest of 6 so I just had siblings I played with mostly or just played by myself till I was old enough like 8 or 9 to walk far enough to a friends house by myself.
My kids are 5 and almost 7. They seem to think they need a play date daily. I try to just have them play together (girl and boy) or alone like I did. There are not a lot of kids on our block their ages and the ones that are...well, they aren't very nice. They boy across the street is very mean who is my dd's age. The other girl my dd's age doesn't really play with my dd. They just don't hit it off. So for my kids to have "playdates" it's driving them or calling a friend from school etc. I hate being the one to always call the other mom to see if their kids can play. Not a lot call our kids, maybe because they have kids on their block to play with or like I had, many siblings to hang out with.
So...back to original question, do your kids have many play dates during the week adn how many? Do you just have them mostly play at home by themselves or with siblings? Are you the one always calling for a play date for your child or are there tons of kids in your neighborhood and they just play with whosever out?

Introducing the MINI MAGLITE® AA LED Flashlight. The heir to the original Mini Maglite® 2AA flashlight launched 25 years ago, this member of the family features the same classic look and size and the same simple operation – just twist the head to turn it on, turn it off and focus the beam.
But thanks to a latest-generation LED light engine, it produces a beam whose intensity is nothing short of amazing – from a pocket-clip equipped flashlight that's not much bigger than a penlight. The Multi-Mode Electronic switch offers two different power settings - a maximum-power setting that yields maximum brightness and a 25% power setting to conserve battery power for reading at night, or for a prolonged emergency.

Costume Information
|Worn at AyaCon 2005!
Zelos was my favourite character in Tales of Symphonia by the time AyaCon 2005 came around, and I was loving the game! So he was my first costume :]
This costume was mainly made by my mum and a lot of pieces were bought, but it was super fun to wear, especially with the group. I've still got it kicking around somewhere.. I don't think I have the heart to part with it haha!

Align Y-Axis of two vertically laid out charts
Nov 12, 2012 5:39 PM
I have two JavaFX charts aligned vertically. The charts display different data with different min- and max-Values for the Y-Axis. Therefore the chart with the bigger max-Value needs more room for the tick labels to display them correctly. This is expected behaviour of course. However, in my case, I'd like the actual Y-Axis (the line) of both charts to be aligned.
The following screenshot illustrated my problem - I'd like both Y-Axis to be positioned exactly on top of each other (the green line in the screen shot)
I've tried to solve this by setting the prefered width of the Y-Axis of both charts to the maximum width of both Y-Axis Nodes. This works as long as the actual chart data is not modified. Once the chart data is changed the Chart tries to resize the Y-Axis Node accordingly but this time - because I've set a prefered width for the Y-Axis node - the width cannot be changed. And I end up with the tick labels overwriting the regular axis label :/
I'd like to calculate the prefered width like so: "set the width of both chart Y-Axis nodes to the maximum width of the regularly calculated width of both charts"
Is this somehow possible or is there a different way to achieve this?

"The Odd Couple": All the Laughs, and a Bit More
Oscar Madison and Felix Unger. The slob and the neatnik. We know these guys, since, like forever. They're Jack Klugman and Tony Randall. They're Walter Matthau and Art Carney and or Jack Lemmon. They're "The Odd Couple."
Yeah, those guys driving each other nuts like a married couple and delivering sure-fire laughs to thousands, millions of theatergoers, and movie and television viewers.
Neil Simon, until he actually got a Pulitzer Prize for "Lost in Yonkers," used to complain regularly that he wasn't taken seriously enough as an artist. He claimed people considered him just a superstar gag writer and author of hit plays—which in turn became hit movies, and in the case of "The Odd Couple," hit television series.
He deserved better, but god bless him, he sure could make you laugh.
"The Odd Couple" is often used as Exhibit A of a big laugh machine. The production, now at Theater J at the JCC, is also Exhibit A for the case that Simon had a legitimate complaint. People forget. This production, with two of DC theater's more gifted actors in the leads, shows again and for sure that Simon was writing about people who struck a chord with audiences, not just because gags and jokes came out of their mouths faster than a speeding bullet, but because they had something to say about who we were ourselves.
Simon, in short, was funny because he struck a nerve—because we men and women, single and married, old and young, all recognized ourselves in his characters. For men of a certain age, that's especially true of Oscar and Felix, the most polar opposites who ever ended up sharing the same living space (except perhaps for Ernest Borgnine and Ethel Merman). For them, laughter isn't just the best revenge, but also the best disguise.
We are so familiar with the plight of Oscar and Felix that we think the play is one joke after another, a barrel of laughs. And it still is in the sure hands of director Jerry Whiddon. The actors are equally commendable. Rick Foucheux plays Oscar Madison, a grumpy, divorced and perpetually broke sports writer. J. Fred Schiffman is Felix Ungar, an edgy, fussy, neat freak news writer who's just been thrown out of the house by a long-suffering wife.
The laughs are still there—Oscar's apartment where he and Felix hold a weekly poker game is alone worth the price of admission. When pigs fly, this is where they come to rest. The space, as imagined by designer Misha Kachman, looks like a city dump with a ceiling and windows where old milk cartons, beer bottles, cigarette butts, dirty ashtrays, and frayed couches share space with yesterdays socks and newspapers. It is a man's cave, a man who's completely forgotten how to clean up after himself and his friends.
When Felix can't be found, but does finally show up at the poker game, there's concern for the forlorn, wounded, almost-but-not-quite suicidal grown waif. Oscar, who hasn't gotten over his own divorce, takes him in. The rest is basically a pain-filled, funny, destruction derby, especially when Oscar lures two expatriate British ladies from upstairs down for a disastrous couples dinner party.
Often, this material is played almost strictly for laughs: the nuances in the script get trampled by the situations, even when they revived the play with a female cast a couple of decades ago, starring Rita Moreno and Sally Struthers.
Here the nuances, thanks to the actors, arise out of the situations to the point where you see Oscar and Felix for what they are: a couple of lonely guys, unused to being alone, who recreate exactly the atmosphere that caused their marriages to fail.
It isn't just that Oscar is the ultimate cigar-smoking, milk-rotting-in-the-fridge slob; it's become a proud habit with him. And Felix is the ultimate fussy, I-love-to-cook, control-freak type who goes so far as to wash the poker cards. These are ingrained habits that are bound to drive the other men crazy. And they do. And it's funny. And it's sad. And it's just like men get sometimes when all they can do is what they've always been doing.
I don't mean to suggest that "The Odd Couple" doesn't retain the power to make everyone in the audience laugh. It does. It's just that this production, thanks also to a great supporting cast, reveals itself to be a terrific play full of characters, instead of caricatures. Watch the two guys together on the stage: Foucheux's Oscar stands up like a wad of paper unrolling itself; he's all round valleys and paunches, balding a little at the top. Felix, next to him, often holding a duster or cooking utensil, is all straight lines, white shirt, tie, shiny, perfectly tied shoes, edgy face—you could get a paper cut just touching him. And they can't help themselves, just as when Oscar drops a cigar butt on the floor in final exasperation and grinds it out with his feet, and Felix guilt trips him or nags him like a fussy mother or wife.
"The Odd Couple" is still funny as all get out. But now, when the laughter stops for a second, we see who Oscar and Felix are. They're us guys, unfettered by the imagination.
"The Odd Couple" runs through November 28 at the Jewish Community Center on 16th Street.

Gator Soccer Releases 2014 Schedule
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - In the 20th season for the University of Florida program, the Gators' schedule sees the team playing in four different time zones and facing seven teams which advanced to last season's NCAA Championship field.
Two Places to Call Home
During the course of the Gators' seven home-match schedule, the team will play at two venues - James G. Pressly Stadium<http://www.gatorzone.com/facilities/?venue=percy&sport=socce> and Donald R. Dizney Stadium<http://www.gatorzone.com/facilities/?venue=lacrosse&sport=lacro>.
Both of Florida's regular-season home matches set for Sundays will be played at Dizney Stadium - Aug. 24 versus South Florida and Sept. 28 versus Missouri.
Playing at Dizney Stadium during the regular season gives Florida venue options if the Gators are fortunate to be in position to host post-season action. A team needs to play at least two matches at a venue to have that site eligible for post-season play.
Who the Gators Face in 2014:
First Time Visits
Florida makes first-time visits to three opponents in 2014:
@ Oklahoma
Aug. 29
@ Oklahoma St.
Aug. 31
@ New Mexico
Sept. 14
After opening the season with a pair home matches versus in-state rivals (Miami on Aug. 24 and USF on Aug. 26), Florida is off for a six-match road stretch. Florida makes its first trip to face two Big 12 members in the state of Oklahoma. The weekend begins at Oklahoma on Aug. 29 and then UF faces Oklahoma State on Aug. 31. The Gators return to the Sunshine State to face 2013 NCAA runner-up Florida State on Sept. 5 in Tallahassee. Then the Gators head west to face Stanford in Palo Alto, California, on Sept. 12 and then New Mexico in Albuquerque on Sept. 14. The road stretch concludes at Alabama on Sept. 17 when UF opens the Southeastern Conference season.
The SEC home season begins Sept. 26 versus Georgia and then Florida faces Missouri on Sept. 28. Florida hits the road to meet a pair of teams which advanced to the 2013 NCAA Round of 16 - at Texas A&M on Oct. 3 and at Arkansas on Oct. 5. Then Florida returns home to play host to Mississippi State on Oct. 10 for the only match of the weekend.
Florida then is on the road again to face a pair of teams which advance to the 2013 NCAA Second Round - at South Carolina (Oct. 16) and Kentucky (Oct. 17). The final full weekend of league action has the Gators playing host to Tennessee on Oct. 24 and then UF is at LSU on Oct. 26. The final match of the regular season brings Florida back to Gainesville to face Vanderbilt on Oct. 30.
The 2014 SEC Tournament, set for Nov. 3-9, makes its eighth consecutive appearance in Orange Beach, Alabama. The NCAA Championships' 64-team field will be announced on Nov. 10.
Becky Burleigh says:
"This will be a challenging schedule, which is exactly what we want. We will meet some to the top teams from different conferences as we prepare for the SEC season. The Southeastern Conference becomes more challenging each year as the league continues to build strength. Each match will test us." - Florida Head Coach Becky Burleigh

A new bottle of nail polish. Fresh sheets. A bold ink pen.
These are just a few of the little things that make me happy. Of course, someone already outdid me and created a whole Tumblr about the Little Things that make the world a better place. Obviously, many of the sentiments revolve around food. Here are the best little moments in the life of an eater.
7. Herr's Ripples. Period.
I'm right there with you. You open the bag of chips. You peek inside. There's 13 fucking chips in there. That's it. Why so little chips? Why such an inflated bag?
I don't know all of the answers, but I do know something that might infuriate you even more.
Yesterday I toured the Herr's Snack Factory. If you live outside the Mid-Atlantic, you may not be familiar with the greatest brand of potato chips. You may actually enjoy Lays, you poor soul. (Or you're on team Utz, another brand soaring from Maine to North Carolina, and then you probably lack a chromosome for identifying superior potato chips.)
Anyway, I learned a few things from the factory tour. On a personal level, my boyfriend and I realized we were the only potato chip lovers that weren't either parents or 5 year olds.
On potato chip level, I learned:
Without a doubt potato chips are my favorite snack food. Cheese (extremely sharp cheddar) is next and a combination of a plate of Herr's Ripples with cheddar, spicy mustard and a pickle is my ultimate combo. With all this love, however, I've never incorporated chips into my cooking. (Though I always wanted to try Herr's Potato Chip Cookie.)
This was until I saw DC food writer Monica Bhide tweet about chips in an Indian-spiced egg dish. Holy Crap! How have I never thought of combining my two favorite things to eat. Finally! My love for salty crunch and creamy egg can be together at last! And because I now work from home full time I decided to try this out last week for lunch.
Egg Over Green Chili Potato Chips
Because I cooked this on the fly I didn't have all of Monica's set ingredients, which you can check out at her site. Here's how I handled the situation.Read More›
I truly adore Michael Pollan. I pretty much take his words as gospel. His new "for dummies" type book, Food Rules, breaks down his complex narratives of our broken food systems into succinct guidelines. His rules make sense. They are easy to understand and to follow. This one is particularly relevant to our I want it now culture:
#39 Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.
There is nothing wrong with eating sweets, fried foods, pastries, even drinking soda every now and then, but food manufacturers have made eating these formerly expensive and hard-to-make treats so cheap and easy that we're eating them every day. The french fry did not become America's most popular vegetable until industry took over the jobs of washing, peeling, cutting, and frying the potatoes — and cleaning up the mess. If you made all the french fries you ate, you would eat them much less often, if only because they're so much work. The same holds true for fried chicken, chips, cakes, pies, and ice cream. Enjoy these treats as often as you're willing to prepare them — chances are good it won't be every day. [HuffPo]
But the idea of making a potato chip better than Herr's is just a fucking lie. They make the best chips in the world and it wouldn't be fair to attempt replication at home when they are already out there on shelves across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
I recently spotted an enviable collection of Herr's chips at a Philly-themed hoagie shop in DC, Taylor. My eyes widened at their floor to ceiling display, noticing the new (and I find misguided) direction of Herr's: kettle chips. Kettle chips have too much of a bite for me. Too crunchy, too much time in the oil.
I asked the dude behind the cash register about the many new flavors and he pointed out a recent failure: Herr's Dark Russet Kettle Chips. He said they tasted straight burnt. I bought them instantly.Read More›

Mobile Broadband Plans
Mobile broadband, also known as wireless broadband or 3G, is a broadband connection over the mobile phone towers. This type of broadband can be taken anywhere there is a signal, and is not restricted to one place like ADSL or cable broadband. Mobile broadband is different to a home Wi-Fi connection, which is a wireless network in the home.
Mobile broadband is suitable for light users who need to take their internet connection outside the home, or for customers who cannot access ADSL2+, ADSL1, or cable broadband. Mobile broadband plans range from less than 1GB to around 16GB a month. Heavy users should consider using a fixed-line connection such as ADSL2+ for most of their downloading, keeping their mobile broadband plan for light browsing when out and about.
As mobile broadband relies on the mobile phone towers instead of a fixed line for a connection, speed can be an issue for users. Mobile broadband providers cannot give users an estimation of the speed they can expect because there are so many variables. Speeds of around 1,500kbps would be considered good for mobile broadband, however, speed will vary throughout the day and depending on your location. For this reason downloading video or making calls over VoIP can be frustrating on a mobile broadband connection. Mobile broadband is best suited to light browsing, such as checking email, using online banking, or reading an online newspaper.
When shopping around for a mobile broadband plan, call a provider to check the service is good in your area before signing up. Each provider has a coverage map showing signal strength across Australia. Factors that may affect signal strength include hills, trees and buildings. Mobile broadband is also affected by congestion and may become slower at certain times of the day. You will need to decide whether you want a pre-paid or contract plan. Pre-paid is ideal for temporary use, but for longer-term a month-to-month plan offers better value.
Mobile broadband users require a modem and a SIM card to access their connection. Most mobile broadband providers offer a USB modem with a SIM already installed, also known as a dongle, which can be connected to a computer via a USB port. Some devices, such as an iPad, have a built in modem and all you need is the SIM card (or in the case of an iPad, a microSIM).

How to Eat to Improve Your Workout
3 new studies reveal that the right foods at the right time may improve results.
Getting a great workout goes beyond the number of reps you do or the miles you log on the treadmill. "The food you put into your body before and after you exercise can do a lot to either help or hurt your fitness," says Kristine Clark, Ph.D., R.D., director of sports nutrition at Pennsylvania State University. In fact, three new studies reveal that the right eats (enjoyed at the right time) can help increase your fat burn, boost your strength and curb post-workout pain.

The discussion regarding translation within the European patent system continues. In its latest draft for a European patent system, the European Commission (EC) suggests that patent applications have to be submitted in English, French and German to be valid in all European member states. Spain and Italy oppose that suggestion. Spain is in favor of a "one plus one" system, which means publishing in English and one additional language. Italy has already announced that it will stop the EC initiative by a veto. Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Cyprus are also very skeptical concerning the EC draft.
Despite this, the majority of European Union (EU) member states aim to increase pressure on the opposing countries in order to find a simplified patent solution that substantially reduces applicants' fees. A possible compromise could be a new way of cooperation in the EU,. It would allow EU countries to establish bilateral or multilateral rules with other countries within the EU that don't have to be applied by all 27 member states. This was successfully applied during the EURO currency change and the Schengen Agreement to reduce national borders.
A European patent with simplified translation procedures was first suggested by the European Commission more than a decade ago. Still, some members of the EU insist on requiring patents to be translated in all European member states. The language debate is the most difficult political issue within the European patent discussion.
What are your thoughts on the issue?

Cadillac Customer Care Representatives - Warranty or Dealership problems Discussion, Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!?? in Cadillac Customer Care - Warranty and Dealership questions; I have my 2002 DTS in the shop now as the last under the GMPP warranty (expired 7/31/2012) I have ...
Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
I have my 2002 DTS in the shop now as the last under the GMPP warranty (expired 7/31/2012)
I have a bad FACTORY alarm that opens my trunk randomly (after set) and when someone puts say a flyer for a club or car wash in my door jam, the doors unlock. There is no set time that the trunk opens. Sometimes I come out of work or a baseball game and my trunk is open. I already have a new key remote (maybe 3 months old) and the issue STILL occurs.
I also have a bad twilight switch. My headlights ALWAYS STAY ON, even during the day. I have to manually turn them on & off. This was fixed under a past GMPP, but only lasted 2 days.
The Cadillac dealer (Coral Cadillac in Fort Lauderdale) said that because i had a laundry list of issues (I have a $200 deductible for GMPP and only bring the car in when necessary) they had to have a cadillac Rep come out to veriy the problems.
I'm getting a lot of things fixed, but the alarm & headlights NOT being fixed is really bothering me.
BOTH items are covered under a GMPP warranty.
Is there anyway to get my local Cadillac dealer to honor the GMPP warranty and not just tell me "The Cadillac rep has final say, he cant replicate the issue so we wont fix those 2 items"???
Please help ASAP....my car will be ready today or tomorrow for pickup and those 2 issues wont be fixed.
Re: Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
Have they checked your battery?
that's what i would look at first for the trunk and locks issue
as for the twilight switch if it was just replaced then it would fall under a parts warranty and be covered even if you paid for it out of pocket the first time
Re: Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
DonRSD, I just wanted to let you know that I replied to your email and am looking forward to working with you! Please keep us posted on your updates.
Cadillac Customer Service
Re: Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
Well I dont really hear back from Katie via email (only once).
My car was returned to me Friday 8/10 and some items werent fixed. The dealer wants me to come back in a week or 2 to fix everything.
Come Sunday 8/12, my car doesnt start. This was an issue I addressed via my GMPP claim and wasnt fixed.
I pay for a tow to a closer Cadillac dealer (I was at the movies & the nearest dealer was 1.5 miles away, servicing dealer was 18 miles away) and that dealer wont fix my car. So yesterday I had to pay for ANOTHER TOW to the original Cadilalc dealer to fix my car.
Re: Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
Local Cadillac rep, Dave Kardashian, wont cover anything besides why my car wont start.
He wont cover issues i had, while under warranty, that werent fixed, like:
- Auto on/off of headlights wont work. Lights always stay on
- Front passenger a/c controls dont work for hot/cold. Blows same temperature a/c as the main a/c is set on
- Rear a/c controls dont work for hot/cold. Blows same temperature a/c as the main a/c is set on
- Factory alarm randomly unlocks doors after set
- Factory alarm ramdonly opens trunk after set
AGAIN - all of these issues were addressed on July 31, while my car was under warranty.
Now that the GMPP rep didnt cover them at 1st, he doesnt want to cover them again.
My GMPP warranty clearly states that all of these items are covered.
Plus Dave Kardashian wont cover any towing, I have to go thru GMPP.
Dave wont cover any rentals, but Coral Cadillac will.
Coral Cadillac knew my auto headlights & a/c didnt work, AFTER THEY FIXED IT. Coral told me to come back in a week or 2 to 'push these items thru under my warranty'.
Dave has shut that down and now nothing is being fixed.
I need help ASAP.......

Call your local tv station that specializes in "getting things done."
Re: Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
You emailed me 2 times, I responded and then NO ANSWER.
You responded the 1st time because I emailed you right after posting.
You sent a 2nd email AFTER I PM'd you, when you didnt respond to my email for almost 2 weeks.
Then you dont respond again.
Honestly - posting in here & dealing you Katie has been a total joke.
You didnt give any effort into my situation.
If you couldnt help, that would be fine.....just say so.
You told me you would 'look into it', gathered all my information, gathered all the dealers information, made me type out exactly what was going on and then dont do a thing, never respond to my emails.....NOTHING!!!
This was the worst customer service Ive ever experienced in my life.
Thanks for nothing.
Re: Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
DonRSD, I am extremely sorry to hear this. I have just caught up with my emails after being absent from the office since Friday, and I do not see any new responses from you. If I have missed an update from you since my reply on the 15th, then I am very sorry. I will be checking my email inbox this week if you care to respond, and I apologize again for any confusion I've caused.

Re: Cadillac rep wont cover GMPP covered parts!!??
Call me curious, but how did Katie and Cadillac customer service and the dealer finally treat you on your issues with the non repair of covered items? My GMPP is quickly running out too but I don't have any specific issues at the moment. Customer service can not ever be replaced with lip service, which hopefully is not the case.

The T17 and the T17E1 were two American armored car designs produced during the Second World War. Neither saw service with frontline US forces but the latter was supplied, via the United Kingdom, to British and Commonwealth forces during the war and received the service name Staghound. A number of countries used the Staghound after the war, with some of the vehicles continuing to serve into the 1980s.
In July 1941, the US Army Ordnance issued specifications for a medium armored car alongside a specification for heavy armored car (which resulted in the T18 Boarhound). Ford Motor Company built a six wheels, all driven (6 x 6) prototype which was designated T17 and Chevrolet a four wheels, all driven (4 x 4) model designated T17E1. At the same time, the British Purchasing Commission was also looking for medium and heavy armored cars for use in the war in North Africa. Had the U.S. adopted this, it would have been called the M6.
Both the T17 and T17E used the same turret which was designed by Rock Island Arsenal with British requirements driving some of the design features such as putting at least two crew in the turret and placing the radio in the turret so that it was close to the commander.[1]
The T17 was armed with a 37 mm gun in a rotating turret, a coaxial machine gun and a bow machine gun. Power was from two Hercules JXD engines. In the interests of standardization, these replaced Ford's initial 90 hp engines.
The British gave the name Deerhound to the T17. Production started in October 1942. The US military eventually decided to adopt the lighter M8 Greyhound vehicle instead; as an interim measure T17 production continued until M8 production could be started. These were to be supplied as "International Aid" but US Army tests in early 1943 showed the T17 was lacking compared to the T17E and so Britain turned them down. The 250 units produced were disarmed and given to the United States Army Military Police Corps for use in the States.[2]
The British allocated the name Staghound to the T17E series. British liaison officers had had contact with Macpherson, the Chevrolet engineer in charge of the project and felt they had influenced him sufficiently to produce something that met all their requirements. Accordingly, in December the British Purchasing Commission "formally requested" production of 300 vehicles; the US Army authorized production of 2,000 in January 1942. The British order was confirmed in March 1942 when the pilot T17E was delivered to the Aberdeen Proving Ground. Testing showed flaws but these were expected to be correctable and a further 1,500 were contracted for.[3] Production started in October 1942. The US Army convened a board to examine the state of the multitude of armored car projects and recommended in December 1942 the cancellation of the larger designs and standardization on a smaller vehicle. This lighter vehicle would appear as the M8 Greyhound vehicle. However the British applied for T17E1 production to be continued for the United Kingdom under Lend-Lease. 3,844 Staghounds were produced in total.
The Staghound was an innovative design that incorporated some advanced features. It had two rear-facing 6-cylinder engines with automatic transmissions (with 4 forward and 1 reverse gears) feeding through a transfer case to drive both axles. Either two- or four-wheel drive could be selected. Either engine could be shut down while in motion and taken out of the drive train. Additionally, a power steering pump was incorporated that could be switched on or off manually from the driver's instrument panel depending on steering conditions. Steering and suspension components were directly attached to the hull as the structure was rigid enough to dispense with the need for a separate chassis.
Operational service[edit]
The Staghound entered service too late for use in the North African Campaign where its combination of armor, range and main armament would have been an advantage in a light forces reconnaissance role.[citation needed] As a result, it first saw operational service in Italy, where many units found its large physical size too restrictive in the narrow roads, and streets of Europe. It saw most service at squadron and regimental headquarter level;[4] an armoured car regiment having three Staghounds with the Regimental HQ and three with each HQ of the four squadrons in the regiment.[5] Conditions for the Staghound improved when the Italian campaign became more mobile in the middle of 1944, and the Staghound was also used in north-west Europe campaign.[6]
After the war, the Staghounds were distributed among smaller NATO countries in Europe and to the Middle East.[6] The last new Staghound variant to be offered for export was probably a Swiss model retrofitted with several modern armament packages, including 30mm and 47mm anti-tank guns. It was marketed unsuccessfully to Syria.[7]

Florida will appear in the Sugar Bowl for the ninth time, which is tied for the third-most in history. The Gators went 3-5 in the previous eight appearances in New Orleans, most recently happening with a 51-24 win over Cincinnati in the 2010 game.
After a 6-6 regular season last year to 11-1 this season, the five-game turnaround was the biggest one-year jump for the Gators in 32 years.
It will be the third meeting between Florida and Louisville. The first came in a 13-0 Florida win during the 1980 season, and the Gators recorded a 31-17 win over Louisville in Gainesville during the 1992 season.

Albany, Ga. • A former plant manager says he saw mildew, mold and dirty equipment at a Georgia peanut processor linked to a deadly salmonella outbreak.
Samuel Lightsey testified Monday about photographs depicting plant conditions during the trial of his former boss, Peanut Corp. of America owner Stewart Parnell, and two others.
Authorities traced an outbreak of salmonella in 2008 and 2009 to peanut products shipped from the plant.
Parnell and his brother, food broker Michael Parnell, are accused of shipping tainted products to customers and covering up lab tests showing they contained salmonella. Stewart Parnell and the Georgia plant's quality assurance manager, Mary Wilkerson, are also charged with obstructing justice.

The Department of Health and Human Services recently confirmed its intent to push back the Oct. 1, 2013, ICD-10 compliance deadline for certain health care entities. However, HHS has not yet specified a new deadline or defined which entities will be covered by the change, and many physician practices are wondering if they should delay their transition or continue on as planned.
Regardless of when the deadline is or who it impacts, we recommend continuing to move forward on your ICD-10 preparation. As the industry learned from recent 5010 transition challenges, it's never too early to prepare. Here are seven ways to take advantage of any extra time the delay provides:

ASK MR. KNOW IT ALL: Faulkner, Falkner in the family business
Question: Going through books in a used bookstore, I came across one titled "The Little Brick Church" by William Falkner. I though his name was spelled Faulkner. Is this a different writer? — I.D., Waco, Texas
Answer: It's a different writer, but from the same family. Faulkner's great-grandfather, using the family's original spelling of the name, wrote the book you found. William Falkner was born around 1825 and died in 1889. William Faulkner, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, was born in 1897 and died in 1962. He is reported to have said, "I want to be a writer like my great-granddaddy" when he was a child.
Question: The question is: What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree? What is the answer? — F.J., Ankeny, Iowa
Answer: Naturalist and author Edward Abbey (1927-1989) wrote, "What is the purpose of the giant sequoia tree? The purpose of the giant sequoia tree is to provide shade for the tiny titmouse."
Question: Which U.S. president was the first born in a hospital? — S.L.S., Lynn, Mass.
Answer: James Earl "Jimmy" Carter Jr. was born at the Wise Sanitarium on Oct. 1, 1924, in the small farming town of Plains, Ga. Carter was the 39th president.
Question: Why is a person who leads sometimes referred to as a "bellwether"? — K.J.M., Miami Beach, Fla.
Answer: It was common for a sheepherder to place a bell on a castrated ram, or "wether." As the ram moved about, the flock would follow, and the shepherd, following the sound of the bell, could keep track of his animals.
Question: What is a chief bridesmaid? — L.W.E., Nashville, Tenn.
Answer: A chief bridesmaid is what the British call a maid of honor.
Question: I recently heard of "Moodus noises." What are they? Do they have anything to do with the town of Moodus, Conn.? — B.L., Everett, Wash.
Answer: The town of Moodus, Conn., gets its name from Native Americans, who called the area "Machimoodus," or "place of noises." The noises are from a peculiar type of earthquake rumbling in the area. The noises are often compared to distant thunder or cannon fire and have occurred for centuries. Moodus is not the only place that has this unusual sound from earthquakes; there are several other locations in the world that report such sounds.
Question: The backflip is no longer permitted in Olympic ice skating competition. Did a skater ever try it? — O.D.M., Roseburg, Ore.
Answer: During the 1976 Winter Games, held in Innsbruck, Austria, American skater Terry Kubicka made an attempt and lost points. After the Olympics, the move was banned.
After an underwhelming program, French skater Surya Bonaly performed a backflip in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, to wow the crowd. She landed on one foot, and was penalized for the trick.
Skaters can do the move in exhibitions or in other competitions, but it will cause a point deduction.
Question: When something passes the "acid test," it means it got approval. How did the term come about? — T.L., Kingman, Ariz.
Answer: Traveling peddlers in Europe and America often made trades for gold. Even an experienced trader might have a hard time determining the exact amount of gold content in an item by looking at it. So a drop of nitric acid was placed on the object. By examining the shade of color of the liquid, the merchant would get a good idea of the amount of gold in the object.
Question: More than a few years ago, I saw a movie starring Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr. Dreyfuss was addicted to horse racing while Garr was addicted to alcohol. Despite my description, it was a funny movie — but I can't recall the title. Do you know it? — E.W., Ridgecrest, Calif.
Answer: The movie you're thinking of is "Let It Ride," which was released in 1989. It is available on DVD. Critics call the movie mildly funny, blaming the script more than the actors on its failure.

Oct. 23, 2013
Saturday, Oct. 26 -- vs. Indiana (U-M Soccer Stadium) 7 p.m.
Tickets | TV: Big Ten Network | Live Stats
Promotions: Family Pack Day, Thundersticks Giveaway (more information)
The University of Michigan men's soccer team (6-4-3, 2-2 Big Ten) is set to take on the defending NCAA champion Indiana Hoosiers (4-9-1, 1-2-0 Big Ten) on Saturday (Oct. 26) at 7 p.m. inside U-M Soccer Stadium. Dan Kelly and Kevin Egan will be on the call for the Big Ten Network matchup.
U-M is coming off back-to-back wins for the second time this season following a two-win week after downing No. 12 Creighton on Oct. 15, 1-0, and the Wisconsin Badgers, 2-1, on Sunday (Oct. 20). The Wolverines are looking to string together their first three-match winning streak against Indiana on Saturday night at 7 p.m. in U-M Soccer Stadium.
The win over Creighton marked U-M's first home win against a ranked opponent since the 1-0 overtime win over No. 4 Akron on Oct. 18, 2011. The last time Michigan beat a ranked team overall was on Oct. 19 of last year when the Wolverines downed No. 11 Indiana, 2-1.
With their goals in the victory over Wisconsin, sophomore James Murphy now leads the team in points with 10 (4g, 2a). Senior/junior Tyler Arnone is second on the squad with eight points (2g, 4a). Murphy leads the side in shots with 39, while Fabio Pereira has 37 shots for second.
The game-winning goal for freshman Lars Eckenrode against Creighton was the first score of his career and marks the 11th different goal-scorer for the Wolverines this season.
Michigan is now outscoring opponents this year at 17-16, with much of its success coming the second stanza when the Wolverines are outscoring opponents, 12-9.
U-M is now 12-5-3 all-time at home under the direction of Chaka Daley. In the month of October all-time under the second-year head man, the Wolverines are 8-4-2.
Michigan has broken the 1,000-fan barrier five times this season. Most recently, 1,588 fans graced U-M Soccer Stadium for the win over the Badgers. U-M is No. 2 in the Big Ten behind Indiana in home attendance, averaging 1,409 fans per match.
The match against Creighton marked the second straight in which a freshman has scored his first career marker -- Eckenrode against Creighton and Yamann Sahlool at Penn State on Oct. 11. It is also the third time in four games a player has netted his first career U-M tally as Marcos Ugarte, who played his first two seasons at Providence, scored against Western Michigan on Oct. 2.
The 19 shots against Creighton are the most against a regular-season ranked opponent since the 2010 season when U-M had 22 shots on Oct. 30 against Michigan State.
The win over Wisconsin (Oct. 20) marks the second time this season U-M has been outshot (12-15) in a match and won. Ohio State (Oct. 6) marked the first time U-M had been outshot (13-15) but ended up on the winning side. U-M has been outshot on five other occasions this year (Bowling Green, Marquette, Notre Dame, Oakland, Ohio State). Overall, the Wolverines hold a 192-152 shot advantage on the season.
Pereira is creeping up the Michigan career record books in assists, shots attempted and games played. Most notably is the program assist record, as he holds 20 after earning an assist against Wisconsin to be eight behind program leader Adam Bruh (28). Pereira is now No. 4 in career shots attempted with 175, 11 shots behind program leader Mauro Fuzetti (2006-09), who leads the records with 186. Additionally, the Wolverine senior has played in 73 matches, which rank just outside the top 10 in the program record book.
James Murphy's goal vs. Ohio State has turned into an internet sensation, amassing nearly 280,000 views on YouTube, including recognition by Major League Soccer and ESPN. The goal has been compared to that of Thierry Henry's strike when he represented Arsenal in a match against Manchester United in 2000.
With two clean sheets on the season, goalkeeper Adam Grinwis is now tied for second in career shutouts at U-M with 11. He trails Patrick Sperry and Peter Dzubay, who have 19 shutouts apiece. Against Oakland, Grinwis stopped 10 shots in the 0-0 draw, marking the sixth time in program history a Michigan goalie has made double-digit stops. Grinwis also holds the mark for most saves in a match in U-M history with 12, a number that was recorded on Oct. 8, 2012, against Penn State.
|No. 11 Indiana
Bloomington, Ind.
Maize & Blue Rallies to Upset Win at No. 11 Indiana
Tyler Arnone tied the game at 32:58 and James Murphy's first career goal held up as the game-winner as U-M rallied to a 2-1 win at No. 11 Indiana.
In the first two home matches this season, U-M saw a total of 3,186 fans in attendance, the most in a two-match span since 2011, when there were 4,434 fans total in matches against Butler (Sept. 2) and Northern Illinois (Sept. 4). Against Northwestern, U-M welcomed a season-high 1,998 fans to U-M Soccer Stadium on (Sept. 28) for its Maize Star event.
Michigan's four overtime matches already equal last season's total of four. U-M was 1-2-1 in such matches in 2012. Prior to the 0-0 draw against Oakland (Sept. 24), the Wolverines last played to a scoreless draw on Sept. 17, 2010, against Notre Dame.
Indiana-- Michigan is 2-14-1 all-time against the Hoosiers but defeated the then-No. 11 Hoosiers, 2-1, in Bloomington a year ago. U-M has never beaten IU in Ann Arbor (0-5), as the previous defeat of the Hoosiers was of the 1-0 variety on Oct. 4, 2008, over No. 20 IU.
The Hoosiers are winless on the road this season (0-5) and recently snapped the longest losing streak in program history (five matches) on Wednesday night with a 4-2 win over Evansville. IU is 0-4-1 in overtime matches and has dropped three matches on the year where the side was leading with 10 minutes left.

Donna Hay has done it again. This is an unbelievably easy recipe that tastes fantastic. You can easily have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes – and it is all easy prep work. I found this recipe in New Food Fastby Donna Hay. Which brings up another thing I love about Donna Hay – her recipes are timeless. This book was written in 2003 and here I am 10 years later still amazed at her fresh simple approach to food.
The only changes I made to the recipe was that I didn't have any mint, and I used Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt. The Greek yogurt didn't get all creamy and coat the potatoes, but it didn't matter. It stayed in little clumps that were almost cheese like. This maybe one of my new favorite potato salads – so easy and good for you with yogurt instead of mayo.
The fish was wonderful and may also become an easy go to fish recipe. The Mina Harissa – Red Pepper Sauce added just the right amount of flavor – and look at that beautiful color!
Harissa Fried Fish with Warm Coriander Potatoes
- 4 150 g (5oz) fillets or pieces white fish, such as blue-eye cod or swordfish
- 3 T Harissa
- 1 T Oil
- Warm coriander potatoes:
- 500 g (1 lb) boiling potatoes
- 2 clv garlic, crushed
- 1⁄2 c thick plain yogurt
- 2 T Chopped Mint
- 2 T chopped coriander (cilantro)
- Cracked black pepper
- sea salt
To make the warm coriander potatoes, halve potatoes, place them in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes or until soft. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
While potatoes are cooking, spread the fish with the harissa. Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan (I used cast iron) over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for 2-3 minutes or to your liking.
Combine the garlic, yogurt, mint, cilantro and pepper and salt and toss through the potatoes. Place on a serving dish and top with the fish.
Makes 4 servings.
This will be my entry for I Heart Cooking Clubs – Donna Hay!

"No list of twentieth-century landmarks in music reference would be valid without Bachmann's Encyclopedia."—American Reference Book Annual"If there were such an award as one for the best reprint of our day, surely this book by Alberto Bachmann would be way up front with the leaders."—American String TeacherOf the many books written about the violin, none offers the breadth and scope of this renowned reference.

It traces the evolution of technique from the 1800s onward, in addition to examining the violin's construction and manufacture, listing American and European makers, and offering a biographic section on chamber music ensembles.Seventy-three rare photographs complement the text, which features an introduction by the legendary violinist Eugène Ysaÿe and a glossary of music and musical terms.

Computer World –
WASHINGTON -- Pointing to the growing concern about a Big Brother federal role on cyberspace issues, U.S. Sen. Robert Bennett (R-Utah) today said congressional oversight is needed for the federal plan to establish an intrusion detection system linking private companies and federal agencies.
Bennett, chairman of the U.S. Senate's Special Committee on the Year 2000 Problem, said at a hearing today that Congress has yet to receive the Federal Intrusion Detection Network (FIDNET) plan that was leaked to the press earlier this week. "I am confident . . . that a copy of the national plan will be forthcoming," he said.
The intent of FIDNET is to create a monitoring and intrusion detection system that would allow government and businesses that manage key parts of the economy -- transportation, telecommunications, energy and others -- to share information about attacks. But some civil liberties groups worry that the system would also enable the government to monitor activities of a broad swath of people who use the Internet.
Bennett said the ability of the government and the private sector to cooperate will be tested by the operation of the Information Coordination Center (ICC). The center was established by White House Y2K officials to gather information about year 2000 events in the public and private sector.
"The ICC is an opportunity to demonstrate how such information sharing between the public and private sectors may be effectively achieved," Bennett said. "But if the ICC is not effective, the administration will have failed to demonstrate to the private sector the value in sharing sensitive information with the federal government."
Bennett also said Y2K may make the U.S. vulnerable to cyberattacks. "We have already seen where our national security has been eroded by lax security at national labs," he said. "I do not say this to scare anyone, but I think we should be candid about what we might be facing."

Target: Rod Brenneman, Butterball CEO
Goal: Stop Butterball from allowing animal abuse in factories
Besides having a ridiculous name, Butterball has a serious problem. In December of 2011, the food products manufacturer was targeted by Mercy for Animals (MFA) for gross abuse of turkeys at a factory in North Carolina. MFA released footage featuring Butterball employees throwing, kicking, stomping, and dragging turkeys around the facility. In response to the video, Butterball apologized, terminated the employees involved, and promised that there would be "zero tolerance" of further turkey abuse on Butterball property.
However, another video was recently released by MFA that again depicted more turkey abuse by Butterball employees at several different factories. Butterball has already apologized for the incidents, suspended the employees in the video, and launched a full investigation, publicly stating that "any allegations of animal mistreatment" are taken "very seriously."
When a company is accused two years in a row of cruelty towards its turkeys, the company is demonstrating that it does not, in fact, take animal mistreatment "very seriously." Butterball's strategy is to apologize and hope American consumers will forgive and forget. It is unlikely the company will actually enact preventative policies that will ensure the safety of future animals at the factories. Tell Butterball's CEO that reports of animal abuse will not be tolerated. Americans want to purchase their meat from suppliers that are reputable and humane.
Dear Mr. Brenneman,
American consumers are tired of hearing about animal abuse at Butterball's factories. The videos that have recently surfaced demonstrate that your company clearly does not enforce its "zero tolerance" policy towards cruelty.
There are many other suppliers that treat animals humanely, and more and more Americans are turning to those suppliers to purchase their meat. If Butterball does not change its policies, your customers will take their business elsewhere. Therefore, it is imperative to the survival of your company that you ensure the safety and well-being of the animals in your factories.

It is also about celebrating the best of what Europe can produce. An array of local products – foods, wines, regional specialities – will fill the Belgian capital from 8 -11 October.
But this year's regional get-together will be more political than usual. The same economic crisis that has led to austerity in local governance is also directly affecting the EU's negotiations on its next longterm budget. Meanwhile, regional calls for more influence or even outright independence are getting stronger.
It is against this complex backdrop that EUobserver takes Europe's regional temperature.
