Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
Perhaps!! I was wondering the same issue. They are a Certified GM dealership. However, I know that does not always matter. They have been on the phone for the last two days with GM TECH and neither have been able to solve the problem. SO, they are going to throw some parts at it tomorrow.
Initial quality is expected --- long term reliablity is the TRUE TEST of Quality Craftmanship.

Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
We Live about 150 miles away from the home of the BIG 3. Drive by Fords old estate everytime we visit my wifes parents. Looking forward to the Detroit Auto Show this year too.
The Car that I want is the CTS. As I said before I used to LOVE it. I still do...if it stays functional. It is just irritating....the hype about quality...but you are in the service department most of the life of the car.
Just strange......take two of the same vehicles (PERFECT) the next vehicle off the same line, same day..(full of faults).
I should be getting my car back today. The GM truck was arriving this morning with the two parts they were going to put in it.

Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
Just be gland you are not one of those BMW owners that had there engines explode! I have owned number Euro makes 3 of which were BMW's. They never left me stranded but they were always in the shop for something. I have had two Caddy's a 98 STS and 03 CTS and I have had no serious issues. My STS was in a few times at first but like I said that was due to the service department I used.
Try to remember you can't generalize a make by a single experience. JD Power counts all service visits and Cadillac came in only behind Lexus. You have a good make just try to ensure you have a good service department.

What I love about the JDP report is how A. Its INITIAL QUALITY, not three years down the road when MANY of us buy the vehicles not willing to or unable to pay exhoribitantly inflated new stickers, and B. how they manage to squeeze in my old STS at 125, only 15 points higher than the 110 3 Series... RIGGGHT. Tell that to my old Cadillac Service advisor (er..also Buick,GMC and Pontiac Service Advisor too,unlike this car)... That car really was a total lemon, and the interior noise was to the point of being unbearable. BMWs are by far not reliability champs,but then theres alot more that goes into the quality "impression" of a vehicle than just how many times its in the shop. Things like how well the shop can REALLY correct the problems (and not just cover them up ala Intermediate Steering Shaft "lube"), and how high your feeling of satisfaction and perfection is when the vehicle is NOT in the shop.
I love Cadillacs but you gotta keep a skeptical attitude about these things. The CTS is exciting,but it has to be around just a lil bit longer before im going to believe that its one spot behind the LEXUS ES300, which is by far the king of quality because well... its basically a hopped up Toyota Camry.
Ahh yep that was a good laugh. I think I need to retreat to the absolute silence of my vehicles cabin for a moment to calm down.
EDIT:One thing I have to interject here. I dont think im the only one thats a little disconcerted that my moms 2000 Hyundai Elantra, which is abused and has been smacked about three times, has only been in the shop about twice in its entire life....hmm scary.

Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
Although I LOVE my CTS, I am also one of those that have had problems. I really think we should start a thread that asks for owner problems so we can use the info when talking to the dealer. You guys may not believe it but I had to have a new engine put in at 4000 miles. The dealer said that a piston was not "getting oil" or something. When I drove it into the service bay several of the techs heard me coming and came out to see what all the noise was! From reading a bunch of forums, I think I am the only lucky person in the nation that had this problem, but would like to know of others. I also have or had the following problems:
-A water leak in the license surround. I haven't taken it in yet for this.
- Intermittent static on the AM radio when I put on the break. (the dealer says that there is no problem.)
- All of the silver paint started to flake off one of the wheel covers. ( Cover replaced)
- My analog clock is 6 minutes off from the digital on the radio read out. (The dealer said there was no need for a fix because it was within established specs.)
I do however love the DTS loner car!

Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
I'll put it like this and leave it alone Cadillacs were until recently driven by mostly older generations. But once over 3 years old young drivers buy them for there luxury, dependability and cheapness to repair. The older or younger buyers would not be so loyal to a brand that makes cars that stop running all the time nor has a host of issues. Cadillac has ranked higher on that list for years and I as some one who sells cars and has a brother that is a dealer can say that BMW and other Euro makes are head aches!
I am not speaking from my one car purchase as if I really know something I am speaking from dealing with a high volume of cars of all makes. Tell people who are still driving Cadillacs that are 20 years old that they are crappy. BMW and Benz's of those years will be eating at your pockets in repair bills.
Cadillac is second only to Lexus in initial quality and second to no other luxury make in dependability and you can believe that. It would be a good lesson in life to realize that views that are acquired from a limited exposure to anything are not necessarily correct. Let people tell it everyone that has 45K to spend would prefer a Benz BMW or Lexus but Cadillac is the sales leader in the 40K plus area for over 20 years. There is a reason for that and it isnt because they give electrical nightmares like Euro cars.
Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
I havent had a limited exposure to anything, and this is NOT CTS or CADILLAC BASHING! Its a consumer simply demanding more from the vehicles I WANT to own!
I have owned eight cars in the past few years and I deal with several people in the car industry myself locally. Do you know which TWO vehicles were the biggest nightmares? The Cadillac and the 96 Lincoln,Cadillac for overall quality, and Lincoln for its insistance on make it to break it technologies like the Airbag Ride Control system which absolutely defines crap. Compare that Lincoln or a similar Cadillac to a 96 LS400 or Q45 and youll quickly see that "initial quality" goes down the drain. I personally know of one mechanic in town who has switched his entire business, [I]a full time job[/], to repairing and replacing Cadillac gauge clusters and associated electronics (and yet the umbrella of "Euro Cars" gets the electrical gremlins tag right).
Another simple problem is resale. Put a 96 LS400 (possibly still worth close to 10k or more) up to either of the other two brands and I can quickly show you a 7000.00 difference. I love Cadillacs, but I also dont have the wool pulled over my eyes by consumer publications, but rather experience with people who own the vehicles and have to deal with them and their problems every day. And lets reset that market to 15 years, after the Cadillac wreath and crest had long since lost its gleam from the 60s and 70s and electronics began to become the name of the game in vehicles (HT4100 comes to mind as a real quality leader....). I can show you more than a couple of vehicles that are still running great from the other side of the pond from the same era.
Cadillac (and Lincoln for that matter) has along way to go before OVERALL quality will improve to where I buy my next one. Cadillac better not simply rely on being the sales leader for now, because that demographic that continued buying them (one of which is typically hard to deter from their set ways no matter how much you can prove them otherwise) is slowly DYING AWAY.
The CTS, and the Lincoln LS (which I think has alot of awesome technological advancements like heated and cooled seating and THX) are a good start for both companies in attracting a younger market with more varying tastes (25 - 55), but quality over the longterm is yet to be seen and I am hoping, man am I hoping ESPECIALLY for the new STS and others, that it will come out good.

Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
Hummm you are going to have to do a little reading because the average age of the current Cadillac buyer is dropping very fast. Also most Benz owners are not spring chickens anyway. I am glad to see you have had 8 cars in 3 years because in the last three years I have come in contact with cars in the 3 digits. One Cadillac one Lincoln and now you know everything about the car company. You have a small frame of reference and you are not informed. My clue to you would be to get informed and read factual data and cut the uniformed comments.
Cadillac's past low resale had to do with fleet sales not the quality of product. Once again you show what you know......
Have seen the rate the CTS's value holds? I am sure you haven't but I will clue you in it is holding very well and recently Cadillac was recognized for have one of the hugest jumps residual value.
Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
So you have come in contact with cars in the 3 digits and this makes YOU informed? I come in contact with 14000 vehicles everyday on the street, that certainly doesnt make me informed. Youve read a few articles or tests and you are THE Cadillac Authority.
FYI I am informed and the information I have shows the average of the cadillac buyer has dropped from about 63 to 60, that may be rapid but it aint 25. Also, I am not basing my data on two vehicles,or based on some raw numbers I found somewhere, but rather MY experience with those two vehicles coupled with the experiences of several owners and the dealers that WONT take them because they are a LOSS to keep on their lots,and a nuisance to repair. Get in touch with the REAL world, not what youre reading and then reposting here,and not what your CTS biased opinion forces you to post. Just look around at some of your fellow CTS owners, many of them are happy and rightfully so, but many of them continue to face the same unacceptable reliability and quality problems that have plagued the company for years. Perhaps if you pay more attention to whats right in front of you (i.e. the forum that you seem to be so proud to post on) and the real world people that are having the issues, you will come to see the automotive light that eludes you. I also have data that shows Cadillacs have one of the highest lemonized vehicle rates, my STS was no exception. Thats right sir,LEMON. Cadillac is not a car company, it is part of a megalo conglomerate which until it will allow Cadillac to completely think and act for itself,or to the best ability possible, rather than re-sourcing parts from the Chevrolet parts-bin will never be the standard of the world it wants to be. My objective opinion lies in the fact that I want to see GM quit playing games with this division and turn it into what I expect from a vehicle, not what you settle for in one. Damn Cadillac for forcing me into this position and into the position of having to drive a car now that is not even in the same class as the STS I had before! I loved my STS and THATS the car I wanted, now im driving something foreign thats half the size, and im outraged because this is not the car I wanted, but im growing to love it. The Cadillac was one of the few vehicles I could afford in the class and feature set that I liked, now I cant because quality problems drove me out of it, and my 330 was the immediate next-best vehicle available. This is the same type of problem that I currently have with Dieter Zieschs utter RAPE of the Jeep division of Chrysler, another vehicle whose REAL history I am very fond of and can not stand to see turned into another people mover division (by MERCEDES no less). And speaking of Mercedes, data was just release which shows which brands have the highest owner loyalty. Cadillac was not on that list, Mercedes was number 2. But you know what, BMW wasnt on the list either, because BMW has a ways to go itself before it can overcome some of its own gremlins,some of them ARE downright pieces of shit. The difference is BMW has always strived for perfection, rather than mediocrity and the bottom line forced upon it by a parent company more concerned with union happiness and numbers of cars sold this year. Yes, im glad were all subject to our opinions, but when you are so blinded by your loyalty to what you drive that you attack anyone who doesnt see it your way or has a differing opinion based on real world scenarios and not some textbook data it gets a bit rediculous. I see it in many of your posts but I dont say a thing (i.e. the STS sideskirts? is there a problem with a person wanting to personalize their vehicle in such a way it doesnt live up to YOUR expectation of what a cadillac should be?). Be happy with your CTS if its a great car, but dont expect everyone who doesnt think so to see it your way. Thats all I have to say and I wont be a part of any vehicle bickering because I am not trying to fault anyone, just my beliefs of where my hard earned dollar needs to go.

Re: CTS Beats All German And All But One Japanese Car in its Class For Initial Quality
Well Troll I see you choose to expose yourself as anti-Cadillac and GM yet youre on this board supposedly giving balanced advice.When I say I come in contact with what I meant was I have sold over 50 cars in the last 3years that I owned and I have keep 5 cars that I eventually sold also. I often drive my brothers cars on his lot also that account for about 250 over the last 3 years.
Nice to see your not to big on reading but it is a good thing to do and I think you should try it. What you should know is that before my two Cadillac I would not personally keep (own) and car that was not a Euro make because I really liked them. What I found is that they will just eat through your pockets in repair bills and will not stop with having issues. Like your little exploding BMW's. Do you know what Benz's average buyer age is? It is not far from Cadillac it is around the low 50's high Forties. And it would be! With them selling cars that are not luxury but are really hatch backs. And don't talk about sharing parts because Benz's and BMW both make low end cars in Europe and are taxis and dump trucks over there. Hell Benz is also Chrysler over here so what is up with that(Crossfire).Let me tell you what reading can do it can help you get your info right. The average Cadillac buyers age is 54 from 59 not 60 so read and learn.
This is something everyone here needs to know. When you own a modern Cadillac or any other high end car that is at least a 92 you will find that it has more electronics than past cars. Realize that most repair center are trying to get you and they lie all the time about what is wrong with your car. They do thing to your car to try to get you to come back. This happens even at some dealers. If you know nothing about cars in detail they can sell you anything. I see this all the time so first and foremost get a good tech that you can trust. My grand mother and a lot of people I know have had a life of Cadillac and I know that they are good dependable cars. You do not get loyal to a brand that leaves you on the road side.
Stop being a BMW troll Cadillac is back and hitting your little Nazi makes hard so get over it.

I am the very model of a Newsgroup Personality
I intersperse obscenity with tedious banality.
Addresses I have plenty of, both genuine and ghosted to,
On all the countless newsgroups that my drivel is cross-posted to.
Your bandwidth I will fritter with my whining and my snivelling,
And you're the one who pays the bill downloading all my drivelling.
My enemies are numerous, and no one would be blaming you
For cracking my head open after I've been rudely flaming you.
I hate to lose an argument (by now I should be used to it).
I wouldn't know a valid point if I was introduced to it.
My learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia,
Designed to fan my ego, which is larger than Bolivia.
The comments that I vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery,
Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery.
I say I'm frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity,
The gibberings of one who's at the limit of his sanity.
If only I could get a life, as many people tell me to;
If only mom could find a circus freak-show she could sell me to;
If I go off to Zanzibar to paint the local scenery;
If I lose all my fingers in a mishap with machinery;
If I survive to forty, which is somewhat problematical;
If what I post was more mature, or slightly more grammatical;
If I could learn to spell a bit, and maybe even punctuate;
Would I still be the loathsome and objectionable punk you hate?
But while I have this tiresome urge to prance around and show my face,
It's simply isn't safe for normal people here in cyberspace.
To stick me in Old Sparky and turn on the electricity
Would be a fitting punishment for my egocentricity.
I always have the last word; so, with utmost finality,
That's all from me, the model of a Newsgroup Personality.

I'm looking at buying my first 20 this fall and my purpose is two-fold: have a 20 I can hunt dove and pheasants with and something the girlfriend can shoot here and there. Over the past couple of years she's wanted to start trying to go skeet shooting but can't heft my Super Vinci very well (she's a tiny thing at 5'2 and 95lbs). Now that I live close to a range and she's got a bit more time on her hands, I figure it is about time to have her give it a go. So, I'm looking for something that will hold up and that has both youth and adult stocks available. I don't mind buying a youth model and adding an adult stock or vice versa, but a packaged deal would be pretty easy. I probably plan to hit the used market and pay between $500 and $800 for something. 24-26" barrel and autoloader would be my preference, hands down. O/U would be a close second, but I don't think she'd like a pump and I know I wouldn't.
Anyone have any advice on what models to look at? I've been wanting a Monte for some time, so that'd be cool, but I've also been looking at Remingtons and Winchesters.

BEACHWOOD, N.J. - A large family that lives at the shore and suffered losses during Superstorm Sandy will share a $20 million lottery jackpot that one of the 17 siblings said will be "a great pick-me-up."
Members of the Endreson family packed the Beachwood Community Center on Thursday for a news conference. A lottery spokeswoman said the siblings range in age from 53 to 76. The New Jersey Pick-6 prize will also be shared with three children of a brother who died a few years ago.
John Endreson, 69, became emotional when he described rebuilding his home after Sandy ripped through the area in October 2012.
"The hardest part was seeing other people that were devastated," he said. "I was able to redo my house and help my family and my brothers. I was quite fortunate. I just feel so lucky. And this is just the icing on the cake."
Another sibling described how their late mother started playing the lottery regularly years ago and would always say that all her children would get a piece of the winnings.
Faith Schiabor told how she got the news from one of her sisters who had bought the winning ticket.
"I got this frantic phone call," she said. "She said, 'Are you sitting down?' I thought someone was hurt."

text: I picked up an '02 caddy for a decent price because the old engine had bad headgaskets. Instead of rebuilding that engine I got an engine from 03/04 deville that was wrecked. I've got everything torn down so I am changing out the rear main on the "new" engine. I noticed that the crank had oil seeping out where the flywheel bolts were. On the old engine there wasnt oil coming from the flywheel bolts and the old engine still had all its oil in it. Was there a difference between these years in the crank? Does this seem normal or is there a seal behind the rear main, like a crank seal or something. Every motor swap i've down i have never seen where the flywheel bolts act as a seal. Thanks in advanced!

Best night cream ever

Disclaimer: I am a licensed esthetician of 5 years in CA
I normally have very oily skin and it makes my makeup shiny every day! So sick of it! But then it gets dry on my nose and smile lines, so I knew I needed to change my routine.
I was using the Smoothing Cream from Dermalogica since I went to school in 2011, loved it, but I was excited to try Bioelements. I bought the Absolute Moisture and the Oil Control Sleepwear and so far my skin has turned about 180 degrees! My face all of a sudden is less oily, more hydrated, and fine lines have been smoothed out. I also noticed a significant amount of my little white heads stopped popping up.
As a 27 year old, I want to start the anti-aging skin routine now, so I am going to get the Power Peptide next and a Bioelements cleaner.
Thank you for making something that I doesn't make my skin an oil slick and not breaking out/having a reaction to!
- Kelsey (September 21st, 2016)
My skin is very oily in my late 50's with lines and wrinkles. Our weather is horribly humid right now and this has really helped with my oily skin. Will start trying other products as this and the cleanser is my first purchase
Great product

We all know someone who has suffered domestic abuse. No?
You will do - it's just that person may never have told you. They could be a work colleague, a neighbour or a cousin.
Or the friendly checkout assistant. The one who seems to have a happy home life but secretly dreads going home after.
Around a quarter of women and one in six men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. More depressing, a million children will be affected, either as victims or witnesses.
Yet it's still a crime that's rarely discussed openly.
There are few taboos left in society these days.
But when abuse takes place behind closed doors then some people feel like it's none of their business. They turn a blind eye.
Well, domestic violence should be everyone's business.
That's why I'm backing the campaign by charity Refuge for a public inquiry into why victims aren't getting the protection they deserve.
Every week, at least two women are murdered in this country by a current or former partner.
That's two women too many. Yet some police forces are failing to tackle domestic violence and abuse effectively.
To be frank, they need a real shake-up before more lives are lost or destroyed.
A report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary slams police for lack of leadership and poor victim care.
Their probe even warns that crucial evidence isn't being collected properly.
Take the murder of Maria Stubbings by her former partner Marc Chivers. Essex police already knew Chivers had served a lengthy sentence for killing a previous girlfriend.
Yet when Maria called them for help, none came. They even believed Chivers when they turned up on her doorstep and he claimed she was on holiday.
By the time officers did search her home, it was too late - she was already dead. Her brother is now backing calls for a public inquiry so that his sister's death wasn't 'in vain.'
Then there was Cassie Hasanovic, the young mother stabbed to death in front of her children.
Again, warning signs were missed and fatal blunders made. Her estranged husband Hajrudin breached bail but Kent Police failed to arrest him.
Cassie was so fearful that she decided to move into a woman's refuge.
She asked for a police escort. The request was refused. As she drove to the refuge, Hajrudin appeared by her car, dragged her out and stabbed her.
Cassie's two sons and her mother witnessed the brutal attack - they were with Cassie.
Yet another brutal murder. Yet more lives destroyed all because those tasked to protect the vulnerable didn't do enough.
We need to know why these failures keep happening. And that's why Refuge is right to call for action in the form of a national inquiry.
It's not often I back the actions of this Government. But some praise is due to Theresa May for ordering police forces to get their act together.
Her work though has been undermined by her less enlightened colleague Eric Pickles.
Thanks to Eric and his cuts, services for vulnerable women, and other victims of domestic violence have been scrapped in some areas.
Devon is one area which now has hardly any domestic violence support services left.
Yet there have been changes for the better. Convictions for domestic violence, rape and sexual offences have reached their highest rate ever.
So parts of the system are working.
But many women using the services of Refuge say they feel let down by the police and other agencies.
Labour's plan is to bring in national standards as well as a domestic violence commissioner.
This is needed to hold police to account and get them to respond effectively to all victims.
I am also pleased to know that there are organisations like Respect working with the perpetrators and trying to address root causes, and Broken Rainbow who respond to domestic violence in same sex relationships.
Yet all political parties need to commit to further work with perpetrators.
Thangam Debbonaire, Labour's candidate for Bristol west has years of experience in responding to domestic violence. She told me:
"Perpetrators, both male and female, need to be held to account for their violence, abuse and the misery it causes – female and male victims and their children don't deserve the abuse. It is essential to shine the light on their behaviour, calling it out for what it is and making sure that the criminal justice system holds people responsible. Too often, they learn they can get away with it – and this leaves victims more vulnerable".
If you want to support Refuge, please sign their petition.
We need change now on how we handle domestic violence. For the sake of Maria and Cassie and countless other women, men and children. And for the sake of the families left devastated by their deaths.

Newsweek hasn't favored the movie Angels & Demons with a cover story like it did for The DaVinci Code, but it is allowing the cast to make the usual denials of anti-Catholicism on the Newsweek website. In an interview for their Pop Vox blog with Newsweek's Nicki Gostin, actor Ewan McGregor repeats his mantra that "There's nothing anti-Catholic or anti-church or anything that challenges people's beliefs in the film."
That's an interesting thing to say when your character is supposedly an idealistic Catholic priest who ends up being the film's supervillain, poisoning the Pope and murdering Cardinals, until he finds out he was the Pope's son (by artificial insemination). Learning that he poisoned his own father, he commits suicide. He's a perfect portrait in Catholic corruption. But McGregor wants us to buy the notion that none of this "challenges people's beliefs" about the Church:
Newsweek: This movie hasn't been getting a lot of press. No controversy around it.
Ewan McGregor: It's not really controversial, there's nothing controversial in it.
Newsweek: Well, the church doesn't exactly like it.
McGregor: The church didn't like The Da Vinci Code, and I think it's a carryover from that. There's nothing anti-Catholic or anti-church or anything that challenges people's beliefs in this film. It really is a kind of old-fashioned thriller set against the backdrop of the Vatican, which is an interesting world, I suppose, which we don't know much about.
Newsweek: Are you Catholic?
McGregor: No.
Newsweek: So you weren't offended.
McGregor: I wouldn't have been involved in a film that I thought was anti- anybody's religion. I'm not interested in doing that. People are asking me what I think about the controversy about the film, but I'd like someone to tell me what it is.
That's when Nicki Gostin tried to play coy about the plot, obscuring why anyone would think the movie's anti-Catholic:
Newsweek: Not to give anything away, but in the film there are some clergy that are corrupt. That would be controversial, right?
McGregor: That would be controversial? Would it? The very fact that the corrupt clergymen get their comeuppance at the end of the film and it's quite clear that the rest of the church stands against them, it's not in any way suggesting that the church as a body is condoning any kind of corruption, so in that respect, it's not controversial.
Is McGregor really that disingenuous? Even if the villains die at the end, the movie has still mangled facts by insisting the Catholic Church brutally slaughtered the Illuminati in the 1600s -- when there was no murders, and the Illuminati wasn't founded until 1776.
Everyone associated with this movie seems to find it necessary to mislead the public about its contents.
PS: Newsweek's online workers were more flippant about The DaVinci Code.

Country Profiles
Africa Overview
There is a definite mystique attached to Africa. For many people, there is no continent on Earth as intriguing. In a country full of superlative camping spots, camping inside Kilimanjaro's dramatic crater has to be one of the best! Make your way across the rolling hills and vibrant colours of South Africa; enjoy the dramatic baobab trees; relax by a camp fire with millions of stars overhead; and appreciate the pristine region of Serengeti National Park. For those who dare set foot on its soil, Africa is a life-altering place. At times, it can be testing and arduous. It can challenge even the most well seasoned travellers and leave them frustrated. In spite of that, it is a country abundant in sensational scenery, awe-inspiring wildlife and warm-hearted people. Educators looking for adventure need look no further - Africa's scenic deserts, lakes, and volcanoes are yours to discover.
Prospects for Teachers
To this day, Africa remains the most underdeveloped and poorest continent on the planet. Consequently, many public schools are gravely understaffed and poorly resourced. Teachers can make a profound impact on the many disadvantaged children and adults by becoming volunteer teachers. Numerous non-profit organizations devote their time arranging volunteer projects dedicated to improving the living and educational conditions of the poor and disadvantaged. For educators looking for paid employment, start your search with Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia.

[SUPERLIGA]Cuauhtemoc Blanco's goal on a 25-yard free kick in the second half gave the visiting Chicago Fire a 2-1 victory over the defending champion New England Revolution and moved it into the final of the 2009 SuperLiga against Tigres, a 3-2 winner over Santos in Wednesday's other semifinal at Gillette Stadium.
The Revs' recent troubles with Chicago continued as it pounded the Fire goal with a season-high 23 shots but could put one goal past Jon Busch -- Lithuanian forward Edgaras Jankauskas' first goal since arriving in New England -- and Sainey Nyassi, Kenny Mansally and Kheli Dube all hit the woodwork.
Blanco set up Brian McBride for the first Fire goal in the first half and scored the winner after McBride was fouled outside the penalty area.
Chicago will host Tigres on Aug. 5 in the final of the third edition of the MLS-FMF competition.
The Revs still haven't beaten Chicago since the 2007 Eastern Conference championship game -- a span of seven games.
Tigres won the nightcap on goals by Jesus Molina, Kikin Fonseca and Itamar Batista.
The Monterrey club features American Edgar Castillo, which is acquired on loan from Club America for the 2009 Apertura.
July 15 in Foxborough, Mass.

There's nothing pretty about vacation-shattering winter weather, especially in light of the monster blizzard that blanketed the East Coast of the U.S. yesterday. But in the spirit of optimism, of searching for the silver lining in this frigid cloud of ice, I got inspired to take a moment and appreciate the beauty of the delicate piles of powder sculpted by the bitter wind outside my window. (The IndependentTraveler.com office is located in New Jersey, which, as of this posting, remains in an official state of emergency because of the storm.) Snow so often casts a quiet spell on its surroundings, whether in frosted Scandinavian cities or dramatic Alaskan landscapes. Even the humdrum undeveloped fields near our office appear ethereal and serene after a good snowfall.
Below are some charming snow photos snapped by fellow travelers in wintry locales. Do you have a favorite snow white winter destination? Share it with us in the comments!

To those of us who spent our lives with the Kennedy brothers, Ted the youngest not only lasted the longest, but most probably achieved as much as his more famous brother, John, when it came to securing legislation that improved the lives of those who experience oppression. John Kennedy died too early to carve out an important program of social change, Robert, most probably was the one who was most impacted by family events and by the end of his short life displayed the capacity to be a significant agent of change in America. His compassion for those who are oppressed and endure prejudice was shared by Ted and we can never forget that he became more than he was as a young man.
Ted Kennedy was born to wealth and power. Ironically, he devoted his life to those who were poor and without power. Some will note his flaws, but who is without flaws. In the end, the only legacy he really wanted these past few years was passage of a health reform care package.

Hello, I uploaded a couple images already but I think a wip thread will have more viewers.
here's my latest update, I was trying to see if I could just render it in mudbox, trying to achieve soft shadows with the ambient occlusion. It looks kind of like a global illumination render.
I also worked some more on the "helmet", I don't have a concept so I just keep experimenting. I want the final to have a mix between hard surface and organic modelling.
If anyone has any hard surface mudbox tips that would help greatly, I'm currently using curves and pinch. still looks like mush.

Kirko Bangz is in love with a stripper. And while she works to make them dollars, he's out having some fun of his own. Directed by Benny Boom.
Tag: Kirko Bangz
The NBA All-Star weekend festivities are now
Not tolerating the lack of respect, Kirko Bangz comes up on the Radar with his latest track featuring Yo Gotti. Expect his debut album sometime this year.
Fellas, keep a tight grip on your chick. When she's not around, she is out and about getting pampered by Master P and Kirko Bangz. Master P's Al Capone and Boss Of All Bosses coming soon.
Produced by Sound Mob, Kirko keeps his female core satisfied with another
With Flex on the turntables and the Roots on their tools, Kirko joined Meek on Jimmy Fallon's show last night for their late night TV debut. Good thing the auto-tune was turned down.
Over a game of pool at Khaled's Miami studio, Kirko speaks to Peter Bailey on his female fanbase, the Texas Hip-Hop scene, his rhymes and what artists he would like to work with. hhnm
From the yacht to the crap tables, Meek Mill and Kirko Bangz are ballin' out of control in their brand new video. Directed by Dre Films.
Aside from the cyphers, BET kept the Hip-Hop Awards stage occupied throughout the night. One of the highlights was the emotional tribute to Chris Lighty from Missy, Q-Tip, Fat Joe and 50 Cent.
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. So with his Al Capone mixtape on the way, Percy hands over his new single featuring Kirko Bangz. Produced by 1500 or Nothin. xzone

Cascia Hall teachers are encouraged to see themselves as not only imparting information and ideas but also as profoundly respecting their students. This respect is often expressed by the teacher's patiently waiting for students to compare new information with their own inner dictates of truth.
Expanding new understanding then allows the student to embrace new ideas enthusiastically.
Classrooms or academic learning is not the only concern of the school's education. Learning which takes place in social settings, on the athletic fields, during religious exercises and through social service is all part of the student's complete education. These various learning situations foster interpersonal relationships, community building, a sense of teamwork, and a commitment to others; at the same time, these situations lead students to a realization of their responsibilities as citizens.

PHOTOS: Miss Alabama's "Roll Tide" Dress
Miss Alabama 2013 is Chandler Champion, and she's an Alabama student and fan.
Check out the outfit she plans to wear for the "Show Us Your Shoes" parade before the Miss America competition in Atlantic City on September 14th. We'd say it's an outfit that only a diehard 'Bama fan could love, but most Tide fans seem to be hoping it's a joke. We don't think so, but the good news is that outrageous outfits appears to be a theme this parade.
The story ran at al.com, complete with more photos by Tamika Moore.

"He yelled, 'Open the door,' " recalled Elsie Perry, a seamstress at the Euclid Garment Manufacturing Co. in Kent. "He shot through the door and then yanked it open and shot two more times."
This morning, Mrs. Hambright's estranged husband, Ronald, 49, of Notman Road in Deerfield, is in the Portage County Jail facing a charge of attempted aggravated murder, an unclassified felony.
He was arrested at 8:15 a.m. after allegedly shooting Mrs. Hambright, 45, several times at 6:45 a.m. as she arrived for work at the Martinel Drive company in the Davey Industrial Park.
Hambright is being held in lieu of a $750,000 cash bond.
After the shooting, Hambright fled Kent, traveling south toward Interstate 76, stopping at a female friend's house in the 4400 block of S.R. 43. Hambright abandoned his vehicle and allegedly wielded a firearm while demanding the woman drive him to his sister's home in Springfield Township, according to Brimfield Police Chief Robert Burgess.
Out of fear for her safety and Hambright's unpredictable actions, the friend did so, Burgess said. The woman was unharmed and told a Brimfield police officer monitoring traffic on S.R. 43 what happened while on her way home, he said.
"There is some indication that he did that," Portage County Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci said of the alleged abduction. "It's still under investigation, and it's something we're looking into."
Brimfield police are conferring with the prosecutor's office regarding the possibility of filing an abduction charge against Hambright, Burgess said.
Mrs. Hambright remained in serious condition at Akron City Hospital this morning. One of the shots is believed to have caused a spinal cord injury, Vigluicci said. It is not known whether the gunshot wounds will paralyze her.
Mrs. Hambright was described as a dedicated worker at the company, where she has been an inspector for about three years.
"She is a very quiet, private, excellent worker, a good friend to people, and a fine woman," said Tom Rosenblatt, the garment company's general manager. "We pray for her and pray that she can (return) to her job."
Immediately after the shooting, the staff went into action, Rosenblatt said.
Perry, a certified Red Cross emergency responder, started first aid and assigned other employees to keep the driveway clear for emergency vehicles. Another grabbed a cellular phone and called 911.
"Our employees performed beautifully throughout the day," Rosenblatt said.
Perry is chairman of the company's health and safety committee and learned many of the techniques used by emergency medical technicians.
"I never had anything like this," she said. "It really shook me up."
Perry pressed on the two wounds on Mrs. Hambright's arm to stop the bleeding, and another co-worker kept talking to her to keep her conscious.
Later, Perry said, she was told Mrs. Hambright had another wound to her chest, resulting in her more serious injuries.
Rosenblatt praised the way Perry and other employees handled the incident.
"I don't know if she saved her life, but she certainly helped a great deal and did what had to be done until the rescue squad got here," Rosenblatt said.
Kent police would not release how many times Mrs. Hambright was shot or how many bullets were fired. A .38 caliber pistol, believed to be the weapon used in the shooting, was recovered Tuesday in a bedroom of the Springfield home where Hambright was arrested, according to Lt. James Stein, of the Kent Police Department.
Many of the company's 110 employees met with employee assistance specialists from Coleman Professional Services and Townhall II Tuesday to talk about the incident and their co-worker.
Several of Hambright's co-workers, like Perry, were in the parking lot at the time of the incident as they were arriving for their 7:55 a.m. shift. A few of those who saw the incident left work early, Rosenblatt said.
After his arrest, Hambright was transported to St. Thomas Hospital for treatment of diabetes. After his first visit to the hospital, Kent police later returned him there for further treatment.
Hambright engaged in a three-hour standoff July 13 with deputies from the Portage County Sheriff's Office after threatening to kill himself when he was served with divorce papers, according to Portage County Sheriff Duane Kaley.
Hambright, who operates the Mason-Dixon Barber Shop in Alliance, was released from the Portage County Jail Aug. 15 on a $5,000 personal signature bond after spending nearly a month behind bars on four felonious assault charges stemming from the standoff.
He underwent a psychological analysis before being released from jail. He was found to be mentally competent, Vigluicci added.
The felony charges were dismissed last week after they could not be resolved during a pretrial hearing in Portage County Municipal Court in Ravenna. Hambright faces being indicted by a grand jury on the counts, Vigluicci said.
During the standoff, Hambright reportedly fired several shots, including one through the television, threatened to shoot someone and taunted officers to get them to come closer to the residence, Kaley said
Perry said even though Mrs. Hambright had worked at the plant for a few years, she didn't know her well enough to know much about her personal life.
"She's always been a quiet person," she said. "She stayed by herself a lot."
Rosenblatt also praised the Kent police and fire departments for their quick response and support throughout the day.
"I think 911 was called the second it happened, and they got here seconds later. The woman who called was still on the phone when she heard the sirens," he said. "We are pleased with how everyone is handling all of this, and everyone has been supportive and very helpful."
Hambright's next court appearance on the attempted aggravated murder
charge is set for Sept. 5 in Portage County Municipal Court in


text: I have a male rat, a little over a year old. He's sweet, playful, and cuddly, but has been getting quite overweight. This is due to his extreme aversion to his wheel (I've bought him 4 different ones, and he's hated all of them) and his ball (I think he is scared of it-- I put him in it, and he defecates immediately, which he doesn't do outside of his cage unless he is upset). Though his chubbiness makes him all the cuter, it is obviously a health concern. I feed him moderate amounts of food and limit the treats I give him. I let him run around for a few hours a day, but clearly this isn't enough physical activity for him. How do I get him to take to his wheel and ball? And are there any other alternative exercise methods you'd recommend? (I've heard you can take rats for walks, but I live in the upper Midwest, and it's getting a bit cold and snowy for that). Any advice?

Tiffany offered a free 30 minute consultation about the situation I have and was so gracious and generous with her time. She is in the process of shifting her career focus and my case is small claims court related (hiring an attorney isn't usually appropriate as the money is less than the value of an attorney) so my review is solely for the purpose of letting anyone who is in a position to hire her that she is a fabulous choice!

I was in the process of starting my small business. I needed assistance getting my LLC. Big Easy Law came highly recommended. Tiffany Garland was amazing, she helped me every step of the way. No question was too small or ridiculous for her to answer. She made getting my LLC easy and it was so affordable! I will most definitely continue to use her services and recommend her to others. She genuinely cares about her clients I wasn't just a number to her. Once I received my LLC she didn't just drop me like a bad habit she continues to answer any questions I have very quickly. I just can't say enough good things about my experience with Ms. Garland! She definitely has my business!

At first glance, the SDR-H250 looks like it doesn't have any connections at all. In fact, Panasonic should offer prizes to anyone who can actually find them. Underneath an unnecessarily large flap at the back, which you can only access with the LCD panel open, is a single proprietary AV connection. This hosts a breakout cable offering composite and S-Video, plus RCA audio - but output only. Even less obvious is the USB connection, which is hidden beneath the battery. Presumably, Panasonic has put it there to prevent you from using a PC connection without the AC adapter attached.
Most editing apps will support the MPEG-2 video the SDR-H250 shoots. You will need to import it rather than simply drag and drop, but a utility for this is provided with the majority of mainstream software. Adobe Premiere Elements, Ulead VideoStudio and Pinnacle Studio all have the facility.
The Panasonic SDR-H250 is not a camcorder which will appeal to the video enthusiast, despite its trio of CCDs and comprehensive manual controls. The lack of audio inputs and accessory shoe discount it for anything other than its target market. The ability to record to SD is also a bit of a white elephant - with a 30GB hard disk on board, you will rarely use the removable option. But at just over £400, this is still a keenly priced hard disk camcorder, and should satisfy the non-enthusiast looking to shoot video in this format.

A new video with the impressive Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is showing the luxury cruiser accelerate from 0 to 257 km/h (160 mph).
The hottest version of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class generation, the S65 AMG, is the subject to a new video which is quite different than what we are used to. The powerful luxury cruiser has been taken from 0 to 257 km/h (160 mph) and this has been caught on camera. The speedometer was showing 160 mph, or 257 km/h, but the car is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph) so this was its real speed.
The Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG has been officially unveiled just a few months ago and the model is powered by a 6.0 liter V12 twin turbo engine. The unit is producing a total output of 630 HP (463 kW) between 4,800 and 5,400 rpm and it has a peak torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft), between 2,300 and 4,300 rpm. Power is sent to the wheels through a 7-speed 7G TRONIC transmission which is allowing the model to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds and to reach the electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

The search for pizza never ends. But unlike other quests, hunting for the perfect slice is not fraught with peril and possible despair; instead the path is lined with deliciousness. Occasionally, a truly unremarkable specimen may foil us, but the possibility for the restoration of hope is always only but a bite away. With so many trials and tribulations along the way, a clear picture of common pitfalls starts to emerge. No, it's not what is in clear view on top of the pizza, but rather, what lurks underneath. Pizza is all about the crust.
If the crust fails us, the whole structure can degrade into nothingness; or worse: sogginess. Everybody has his own criteria for finding the perfect pizza, but practically nobody likes a soggy crust. For the home, this has always been a challenge. Pizza hacks have been developed by enterprising perfect pizza searchers that have been meant to get maximum temperature out of the home oven. But now, the Breville BPZ600XL Crispy Crust Pizza Maker ($149.95) promises to bring crust satisfaction to the countertop.
With dual heating elements and a built-in baking stone, the 1,200-watt covered appliance captures the high heat that is so important for pizza baking. Designed to reach temperatures up to 660 Fahrenheit, the pizza oven can produce a delicious homemade pizza in about 10 minutes. Complete with settings for thin, medium, and thick crusts, the pizza maker is meant to satisfy fans of any pizza variety and perhaps even challenge those assumptions along the way. Luckily, just like having another slice, there is always room for another quest.

TIM Cahill turned down offers to return to the English Premier League because he could not bear playing against Everton, he said in Sydney yesterday.
Socceroo Cahill, 33, said a recent trip to England rekindled his love for his former club, known as the Toffees.
"I spent 15 or 16 years in England," he said. "Everton was special, it was a big part of my life. It's like my second home and I have some of the best memories from there.
"I flew back and watched Arsenal against Tottenham and caught up with Mikel Arteta, one of my closest friends while I was there. I remember scoring goals at some of these stadiums and it's a real nice feeling."
Cahill, now an attacking midfielder for the New York Red Bulls, said he even had a chat to his former manager David Moyes during his visit.
"I even went back to the training ground and sat with David and some of my old teammates and it's crazy - you still get the butterflies," he said.
"We spoke about a return, we had a few chats actually and I spoke to other managers while I was there, too. It's nice to know there's still interest in Europe for me.
"It just didn't happen because it didn't feel right for me to play for another club. It's time to move on."
Cahill was in Sydney to promote the video game FIFA 13.

Mellon Looks Riper For PickingBy
Don't count out a Mellon deal. So say some pros who think the U.S. bank holding company will hold more talks with Bank of New York.
Shares of Mellon Bank (MEL) have been on a roller-coaster since spring because of rumors. Down to 46 in August, the stock shot to 63 in December. Mellon had been close to a pact to be bought by Bank of New York. But no cigar. Talks fell apart, and the stock dropped to 53 in mid-December.
Since then, Mellon has recovered, climbing to 59 on Jan. 13. "I believe a deal will be done early this year, most likely with Bank of New York," says PaineWebber analyst Ruchi Madan. Chances are good, she says, that both parties will welcome talks, "given how compelling the combination would be." Madan says she wouldn't be surprised if talks have resumed. One reason for a resumption: Mellon CEO Frank Cahouet's contract expires at the end of 1998. Madan thinks Bank of New York may agree to have Cahouet serve as CEO of the joint entity until then, when its own CEO, Thomas Renyi, takes over.
When Mellon was highlighted in this column on June 30, the price discussed was 55. The stock was then 45. Now it's worth 80 in a buyout, say those who tagged Mellon as a target in June.
Madan says NationsBank, Chase Manhattan, First Union, and Northern Trust are also suitors. But from Mellon's perspective, a deal with Bank of New York would be best because of the synergy. The joint company would attract a higher p-e, Madan says. A Mellon spokesman says: "We are among the best performing banks today, and we believe our independence provides the best framework to build value for our shareholders." He declined comment on the Bank of New York rumor.
