Contrary to a popular belief, speech writing isn't difficult. Speeches are just too different from more conventional types of texts – unlike essays, theses, dissertations and suchlike, speeches combine the elements of both written and spoken word; and it is exactly what baffles even those who are good with words….

Now in its 36th season, American Composers Orchestra is the only orchestra in the world
dedicated to the creation, performance, preservation, and promulgation of music by American
composers. ACO makes the creation of new opportunities for American composers and new
American orchestral music its central purpose. Through concerts at Carnegie Hall and other
venues, recordings, internet and radio broadcasts, educational programs, New Music
Readings, and commissions, ACO identifies today's brightest emerging composers; champions
prominent established composers and those lesser-known; and increases regional, national,
and international awareness of the infinite variety of American orchestral music. ACO also
serves as an incubator of ideas, research, and talent; as a catalyst for growth and change
among orchestras; and as an advocate for American composers and their music.
To date, ACO has performed music by more than 600 American composers, including 200 world
premieres and newly commissioned works. Among the orchestra's innovative programs have been
SONiC: Sounds of a New Century, a nine-day citywide festival in New York of music by more
than 100 composers age 40 and under; Sonidos de las Américas, six annual festivals devoted
to Latin American composers and their music; Coming to America, a program immersing
audiences in the ongoing evolution of American music through the work of immigrant
composers; Orchestra Tech, a long-term initiative to integrate new digital technologies in
the symphony orchestra; Improvise!, a festival devoted to the exploration of improvisation
and the orchestra; Playing It UNsafe, a new laboratory for the research and development of
experimental new works for orchestra; and Orchestra Underground, ACO's entrepreneurial
cutting-edge orchestral ensemble that embraces new technology, eclectic instruments,
influences, and spatial orientation of the orchestra, new experiments in the concert
format, and multimedia and multidisciplinary collaborations.
Composer development has been at the core of ACO's mission since its founding. In addition
to its annual Underwood New Music Readings and Commission, ACO also provides a range of
additional educational and professional development activities, including composer
residencies and fellowships. In 2008, ACO launched EarShot, a multi-institutional network
that assists orchestras around the country in launching new music reading sessions. Recent
EarShot collaborations have included the San Diego, Nashville, Memphis, and Colorado
symphonies; New York Youth Symphony; and Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Visit
earshotnetwork.org for more information. ACO recordings are available on ARGO, CRI, ECM,
Point, Phoenix USA, MusicMasters, Nonesuch, Tzadik, New World Records, InstantEncore.com,
Amazon.com, and iTunes. Visit americancomposers.org for more information.

Soprano Jennifer Zetlan is swiftly garnering recognition for her artistry and captivating
stage presence. She has debuted on the stages of the Metropolitan Opera, New York City
Opera, Seattle Opera, and Florida Grand Opera. Tonight's performance marks Zetlan's debut
with ACO.
This season, Zetlan returns to Seattle Opera as Musetta in La bohème and for
Stephen Wadsworth's acclaimed Ring Cycle, in which she will be heard as
Woglinde in Das Rheingold and Götterdämmerung,
and as the Woodbird in Siegfried. She returns to the roster of the
Metropolitan Opera for its production of Le nozze di Figaro, and makes debuts with
American Composers Orchestra and the Omaha Symphony. She also debuts with the National
Chorale in performances of Orff's Carmina Burana and returns to Nashville
Opera as Pamina in Die Zauberflöte.
In recent seasons, Zetlan made her debut as Gretel in Hänsel und Gretel at

Vixen at Aspen, as Tytania in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and as Diana in
La Calisto at The Juilliard School. Performances with New York's Liederkranz Foundation

Zetlan has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician with the Aspen Music Festival, New

and The Artist Series of Sarasota. Committed to performing new works, she sang at the 2007
OPERA America New Works Showcase, participated in New York City Opera's VOX showcase of
American composers in 2008 and 2009, and is frequently involved with the new works
initiative co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Opera and Lincoln Center Theater.
Welcome to Orchestra Underground: Time Travels. It is often said that music is "the art of sound in time." This concert takes that simple concept and adds a Möbius-strip twist, offering musical examinations of the concept of time in music.Our centerpiece is Lukas Foss's iconic Time Cycle from 1960, one of the most important pieces of the 20th-century avant-garde. Lukas was never a follower of anybody else's drum, and his settings of poems by Auden, Housman, Kafka, and Nietzsche—each a rumination on time—opened the orchestra up to the freedom of ensemble improvisation, and became the basis for a new direction in the composer's work. We are pleased to welcome Jennifer Zetlan, a soprano who is making her mark in just about every corner of innovative new music these days, in her ACO debut.We asked two up-and-coming composers, Kyle Blaha and Kate Soper to write new works embracing time in their own personal way. Kate is an alumna of ACO's annual Underwood New Music Readings, and a wonderfully unconventional singer who participated in last year's SONiC: Sounds of a New Century festival. Her premiere, which mines the Orpheus myth, expands a single moment into a speculation about the nature of time and inevitability. Kyle Blaha is also interested in "the moment," borrowing in his case from the visual arts device of the triptych to expand a singular musical gesture into his own three-part array of temporal possibilities.Rounding out the program, 2011 Pulitzer Prize–winner Zhou Long brings a cross-cultural perspective to our subject with the US premiere of Bell Drum Towers. Inspired by China's ancient towers that provided an intricate system of time-keeping for centuries, the piece is a brilliant display of orchestral color and pulse-quickening excitement.For those of you who want to travel forward in time to see what ACO's next concert brings, we invite you to join us for coLABoratory: Playing It UNsafe, an R&D lab for experimental new music. Lab-workshops take place on January 22, March 5, and April 2, allowing you to catch a glimpse into the creative process of five cutting-edge world premieres to be performed on April 5 at Zankel Hall.
—Robert Beaser, ACO Artistic Director, and Derek Bermel, ACO Creative Advisor
Composer Kate Soper describes her piece now is forever: I. Orpheus and Eurydice, "expanding a moment out into a universe of speculation about the nature of time and the unreliability of desire ... In dealing with this text I'm trying to find a way to paint the still core at the center of both the poem and the moment it describes—the single slice of time in which the chain of events (Orpheus turning to look at Eurydice and her consequent banishment back to Hades) has just flickered into possibility but is not quite inevitable."

My zx3's exhaust makes me sound turbo'd!
Check my channel and tell me what you think. ive done some custom stuff, short shifter next week. touch screen, cat back, headers in a few months, tune in the spring, going to gut it. By the time im done i will have a 6 second 0-60 focus. ill upload everything to youtube as i do it. subscribe to me :)
Gotta love these duratec motors.
Sounds good, but i didnt hear anything remotely close to a turbo spool.
That being said, I am interested in what you plan on doing to get a 6s 0-60. That's about 210-220hp, which is quite a jump over the 150hp that the ST has.
im probably looking at a 2 year build because im in collage now, but after the headers and intake(bought the car 3 months ago) ill be going to toronto to get the dyno tune for the summer, which should at least bring me up to 170-180 crank horse power running 91 octane. and knowing that the valves and rockers are only good to 180hp before having problems. i will be replacing them and throwing in a stage 2 cam. the car will be compleatly gutted this spring, except for the 2 front seats. possibly throwing in a cheaper set of racing seats. Ive been looking at obx headers as my next buy. Anyone have them on there car or another brand thats in the 200-300$ range. This is a 2007 ford focus btw with sap package 120,000km on it
Nice exhaust tone ! Is it a 05-07 or the 00-04 magnaflow line on your 07 focus ?
I have a 05 focus duratec and I was able to put a 00-04 2.25'' magnaflow flexback with some modifications to it. So now I have just the muffler, no front and back resonators. Sound awesome !
HEADER! There is only one...
Oh and, sounds good [thumb]

Medicaid Changes Affecting Persons with Disabilities
By Dan Breitwieser, WCJB TV 20 News.
It's been almost two months since Medicaid enacted changes in funding. October 15th, the number of tiers for funding people with various levels of disabilities doubled to four. For many North Central Floridians it means instead of getting virtually unlimited funding for services based on need, they are now at a capped tier of funding. Alachua County ARC Executive Director Dick Bradley estimates 20% of people who ARC serves have been adversely affected.
"Given these cuts and reductions, these things that the independent agency has determined to be medically necessary are no longer being provided," says Bradley.
The Alachua County ARC runs a daily intensive therapy program for about a dozen people with developmental disabilities. But for almost two months, the program has been missing two regulars, Eric and Walter. The high supervision they require at all times saps up their Medicaid funding, keeping them at their group home and not at the program.
"Walter and eric, of all the people we've talked about, those are the two people that i'm concerned about the most," says Bradley.
Bradley adds Walter and Eric still come to the front door every day hoping for what had been their daily routine.
Bradley says he understands the budget predicament of state lawmakers. But he says the rate structure used by the Florida Agency for Persons with Disabilities has reduced rates providers receive for their service by almost 35% since 2003 between rate cuts and inflation. He says any more cuts to developmental disability programs could be disastrous.

Shia LaBeouf Issues Apology to Taylor Swift, Talks "Nymphomaniac" Flick
He's still trying to live down his ridiculous plagiarism snafu, and already Shia LaBeouf is back in the business of apologizing.
This time around, the "Constantine" star made the mistake of quoting the "Mean" songstress in a snarky way, bringing upon himself the wrath of Taylor Swift's fans.
LaBeouf tweeted, "I try to read as much as I can. I try to read an informative article every day to stay read up on our world issues," on Monday (January 6).
And when he got called out for seemingly mocking Swift, Shia wrote, "I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw. Welcome to the real world!!!! Everybody wanna booooo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture. No disrespect."
This morning he followed it up- "When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror & said GROW UP SHIA I take responsibility for my actions sorry @taylorswift13."
As for how he got his role in "Nymphomaniac," Shia shared that director Lars Von Trier had his producers make a strange request. "Lars [Von Trier] goes, 'Send him the [offer] letter. The letter was, 'Are you game?' I guess the first test was, 'Let's time how long it takes this motherf--ker to send his d--k over the Internet.' It was like 20 minutes. They were like, 'All right, kid's ready.'"

Jeff Goldblum's Stalker Arrested
Posted Sunday November 4, 2012 12:11 AM GMT
An obsessed fan of Jeff Goldblum was arrested today for getting too close to the "Jurassic Park" star.
While the 60-year-old actor was inside performing, Linda Ransom showed up at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles. However, because he has a restraining order against the obsessed fan, she was promptly arrested for coming within 100 feet of the actor.
Back in June, Jeff got a three-year restraining order against the fanatic after explaining how she followed him constantly, showed up at his house, and popped up at his theater performances in both New York City and Los Angeles.
According to TMZ, Ransom was booked around 2:00am this morning and is still in custody as no one has posted her $5,000 bail.

Paulson Hedge-Fund Chat Not a Crime: William D. CohanWilliam D. Cohan
(Corrects Tavakoli's Goldman Sachs job description in third paragraph.)
Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- What should we make of the revelation last week -- courtesy of Richard Teitelbaum and Bloomberg Markets magazine -- that in July 2008 Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson shared some confidential musings with a group of plugged-in New York hedge-fund executives at the offices of Eton Park Capital Management LP?
According to the report, Paulson mapped out for the assembled honchos -- many of whom had ties, like Paulson, to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. -- a scenario to put the government-sponsored entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship. Seven weeks later, the government did exactly that, an action that wiped out the companies' shareholders.
Was it nothing more than "crony capitalism" -- the idea that the rich always seem to get better information about the markets before anyone else -- as Janet Tavakoli, a former Goldman employee turned Chicago-based consultant, put it?
Or was it a way for Paulson to begin to disseminate into the market the momentous news that Fannie and Freddie could be taken over by the government and that their shareholders would be eviscerated, as argues William Poole, a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis?
"It seems to me, you've got to cut the guy some slack, even if he tipped his hand," Poole told Teitelbaum. "How do you prepare the market for the fact that policy has changed without triggering the very crisis that you're trying to avoid? What is he supposed to say without misleading these people?"
A Possible Scenario
Or was it something else entirely: The batting around of options for Fannie and Freddie with a bunch of smart guys, well in advance of any decision having been made? If it was the latter -- which my review of the Fannie and Freddie timeline leads me to conclude -- I'm not sure it's so horrible that the Treasury secretary would be discussing possible scenarios before deciding what he was going to do.
There is no question that Paulson appears to have put these hedge-fund managers into an untenable situation. After Paulson made the suggestion at Eton Park that Fannie and Freddie's shareholders could be wiped out, the executives had to choose between passing up a possible money-making opportunity (by shorting the shares of Fannie or Freddie) or risking prosecution for insider trading, should someone be able to prove definitively that by July 21 Paulson had already decided on a course of action.
According to Bloomberg Markets, it seems that none of the bigwigs at the meeting traded on the information that Paulson conveyed, although tracking specific short-sale transactions is impossible from public information. (Some of the men claimed they could not remember what Paulson said at the meeting, which I find beyond hard to believe.)
But at least one of the hedge-fund managers at the meeting claimed -- anonymously -- that Paulson had left him with the distinct impression that Fannie and Freddie would be put into conservatorship and that shareholders would be wiped out. "The fund manager says he was shocked that Paulson would furnish such specific information -- to his mind, leaving little doubt that the Treasury Department would carry out the plan," Teitelbaum wrote.
But a review of the timeline of events leading up to the government's Sept. 7 decision to take over Fannie and Freddie makes it pretty clear that by July 21 no decisions had been made, by Paulson or by anyone else, about the fate of the two entities.
The House of Representatives didn't pass the Housing and Economic Recovery Act until July 23, two days after his Eton Park meeting. On July 26, the Senate passed the legislation. President George W. Bush signed the bill into law on July 30, giving Paulson the "bazooka" he had requested (but said he had no intention of using) for dealing with Fannie and Freddie.
Making the Decision
On Aug. 7, Paulson went to China for a week to attend the Olympics. He returned to Washington on Aug. 15. In his 2010 memoir "On the Brink," Paulson recalled that Barron's ran a lengthy article that weekend about "the poor prospects for the two GSE's and predicted a government takeover that would wipe out the holders of the common shares." He said he thought the article was "pretty accurate." (His book made no mention of the Eton Park meeting.)
While Paulson was in China, the Fed, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock Inc., the asset-management behemoth, studied Fannie and Freddie's books and concluded the two were badly undercapitalized. Paulson then thought the best course of action was to put the companies into receivership, which is akin to liquidation, not conservatorship, which is more like a corporate bankruptcy process where the companies remain intact and operating.
It wasn't until Aug. 23, a day after Treasury had hired the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz LP to analyze the legal options between receivership and conservatorship, that Paulson made the decision that conservatorship for Fannie and Freddie was the way to go. It was more than a month after the Eton Park meeting.
Based on the evidence, Paulson did not divulge inside information on July 21 to the hedge-fund managers in New York. He shared with them one possible idea for solving the Fannie and Freddie problems. Since that was the solution that was eventually selected -- a month later -- in retrospect his conversation looks damning. But it wasn't and it isn't.
Which isn't the same thing as saying we shouldn't be upset about it. The whole episode should be seen as further confirmation that hedge-fund managers, private-equity moguls and the top executives of large banks have long received special access to government leaders at the highest levels to plead their cases, or just to get a whiff of whatever might be on their minds. When it comes to getting access to powerful people, it's not what's illegal that's the crime, but rather what's legal.

Usmanov may leave Dein behind in a bid to buy Arsenal
The Russian billionaire is keeping his options open as he ponders his £120m investment in the north London club. Jason Burt reports from Moscow
Alisher Usmanov, the Russian billionaire, yesterday signalled his intention to buy Arsenal – but said that he may have to do so without the club's former vice-chairman David Dein.
Speaking for the first time about his £120m investment in the club, Usmanov also said he would meet soon with managing director Keith Edelman and chairman Peter Hill-Wood and issue a "joint communique". Usmanov insisted that he was not "pushing" for any shareholder to sell to him – he currently has a 23 per cent stake and intends to increase that to 25 per cent as soon as possible. He is already precluded from making a bid for the next five months through the undertakings he has given to the Takeover Panel. However, when asked about his intentions, Usmanov said: "Intention we have. But we do not have the capacity today. This is business and life changes. If there are changes to the current composition of the board it would be a new environment. What we cannot do today, we can do tomorrow.
"My current intention is to have a large shareholding. But we are not pushing for anyone to sell to us. I did not buy it to make a quick return, to sell it. But I will not set any limits on myself."
The Arsenal board, who hold just over 45 per cent of the shares, have entered into a lock-down agreement not to sell before next April and are confident they can fight off any takeover. They have already said they intend to prolong the agreement – with Usmanov yesterday saying that he, too, may be willing to take part in a "lock-down". "I'm not against taking similar obligations myself," he said. "What I can say is that the club is in an excellent state. Today."
That qualification was telling and though Usmanov insisted he did not want to make a hostile bid he confirmed that he would continue to buy shares. The businessman, who has a box at Chelsea as well as the Emirates Stadium, also revealed how he chose to invest in Arsenal. "The only way for us to buy a stake in Arsenal, the person who could open the door at Arsenal was the man shown the door by Arsenal," he said.
That man was Dein who sold his 14.6 per cent stake to Usmanov for £75m. As part of the deal Dein is now chairman of the company, Red & White Holdings, which manages Usmanov's stake in Arsenal. However Dein's departure from Arsenal was highly acrimonious with Hill-Wood recently saying he had no intention of welcoming him back.
"I'm grateful to David Dein that he decided to sell his shares to me and not somebody else," Usmanov said. "But I don't want a personal relationship with the current board to affect my relationship with the board. For our side we will try to convince David Dein to be less hostile to the current board and try to pacify the board and their relationship with him. What we heard about David Dein and the board at the outset of our Arsenal adventure and what we can say now are two different pictures. But we won't be hostage to any hostility that exists between him and the board."
Usmanov said he had no intention of removing Dein, but the inference was clear: if matters don't improve his relationship with the former Arsenal vice-chairman may be a short one.
Usmanov's business partner, Farhad Moshiri, met with the Arsenal directors last week. "Since we have spoken there is more and more understanding between us," he said. "We have spoken with Mr Edelman and I am planning to have a meeting between him and myself and then issue a joint communique."
Usmanov said he had been planning to invest in British football for some time. "We studied a proposal from a UK banker to invest in Tottenham and Mr Moshiri was in talks with Liverpool," he said. "They are a great team with a great manager but there was something that stopped me. I always used to say to Farhad, 'You are a Man Utd fan, I love Arsenal so why are we going for a third club? Why not be a shareholder in a club we really love?'"
Usmanov was speaking in his vast office, at the Moscow headquarters of Metalloinvest, the Russian mining firm, where there are huge widescreen televisions monitoring world events, tickers tracking the stock markets, an enormous map of Europe and a coterie of advisers, lawyers and PR people. But, despite having all this information to hand, it didn't help him answer a question fundamental to his credibility in the eyes of Arsenal supporters. Can he name, as Dein boldly claims he can, the last Arsenal Double-winning side?
"The big guy, Vieira," Usmanov said, looking towards the ceiling. "Gilberto, Lehmann, Wiltord. I love Pires. My real love. Clichy also, but he did not play. Ljungberg. It was a very good team."
It's a pretty poor effort – among those forgotten is Thierry Henry – but Usmanov made no apologies. He is a fan of Arsenal, he says, of football and, above all, of Arsène Wenger who he lauds as the best manager in the world.
The 53-year-old is holding his first major interview since his investment hit the headlines. Though not especially tall, he is a bear of a man with a dominating presence. He professes to be bemused at the interest – and angered by allegations that he is a "gangster and a racketeer".
"It is beyond my disgust to respond to all these allegations," he said."You can see a big amount of prejudice material and sometimes actually going into open libel and insult. I'm tired, exhausted by the law suits and court cases. I'm not a vengeful man but I am not a whipping boy either."
He is determined to convince people that he is neither a threat nor some kind of shady entrepreneur. He bridles at being described as an "oligarch", insisting that he made all his money by paying "full value" for his investments.
Born during the Soviet era in the small town of Chust in Uzbekistan, he now has Russian citizenship, returning to his homeland once a year to visit his parents' grave. He graduated as a lawyer, dabbled in business but fell foul of politics, spending six years in jail, from the age of 27, after being convicted of fraud, corruption and theft of state property.
"I was a prisoner of the Uzbek KGB," he said, dismissing the convictions as trumped up and false. "And I have spent 20 years fighting for my name. Money is nothing to me against my name." Which, given he is worth an estimated £5bn, is saying something.
But he maintains there was always an interest in football, too. "I truly fell in love with the game in 1966 when the Great Britain national team [sic] won against the Germans to win the World Cup," Usmanov, speaking through an interpreter, said. "From then it was my dream to go to Wembley one day. I remember there was a game between the England team and the world team with the goalkeeper for the world team being a Russian Lev Yashin. For Soviet people British football was in the same league as American basketball or Canadian ice hockey. I wanted to get to know the game more closely.
"So from the late Eighties to early Nineties the Premier League became the best league in Europe and was watched by everyone in Russia. I followed Arsenal very closely. I remember some great players, real Gooners... Tony Adams. I used to love that team. The coach was George Graham and then Tony Adams also played for Wenger. And then I really fell in love with Arsenal, ever since Arsène Wenger took over." His favourite current player? "Fabregas. He's a future superstar."
He will fly to London next month to attend only his second game at the Emirates, when Arsenal face Manchester United. Whether he gets a good reception remains to be seen.

"Me and Zach Mettenberger watched the game together and hung out before the game for a while. After the game was over me and a couple of the other recruits went back to the locker room and listened to Coach Richt talk to the team. That was really cool."
Gilliard also liked the Uga VII ceremony that took place before the game.
"That was very exciting. I liked the new Uga and the way Georgia made such a big deal out of it." Valdosta got off to a 1-0 start on Friday night with 49-7 win.
"We played well. They scored on our JV team so that was nice. I had eight tackles which everyone said was good. My coach told me they were running away from me all night."
Gilliard and his teammates will be in action again on Friday night and stellar linebacker hopes to get back to Athens as soon as possible.

Petticoat Prepper here.
I mentioned my super fatted soap recipe on WDYDTPTW that I intended to send in so here it is. This isn't an entry into the contest, it's just a recipe.
I have very dry skin especially during winter. I get red itchy flakey patches that drive me nuts and generally don't go away until part way through summer. I've tried everything on the market and nothing seems to help me. So I used the on line calculator to make a super fatted soap.
If you don't know the basics for home made soap then read Bam Bam's awesome post. She makes it easy to understand and follow. If I can do it then anyone can!
I measured my two plastic boxes I use for molds and figured out I needed 128 ounces to fill both, this recipe comes in just a bit shy (114 oz) but I still got good sized bars to use. I was a bit impatient when removing from the molds so be sure you give it enough time to set.
- 6 oz castor oil
- 32 oz canola oil
- 8 oz coconut oil
- 16 oz lard
- 16 oz olive oil
- 10.27 oz lye
- 25.74 oz water
Follow the directions in Bam Bam's great post and hopefully you'll have less of a problem with dry, red, itchy skin. It's been good for me as I've not had issues this winter; next time I think I'll try adding some kind of smell to it. I have given a few bars out and each of my friends say it's like washing with lotion.

VIDA VACATIONS SCAM, FRAUD, Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo MEXICO
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Upon arrival at the airport we were approached by a gentleman (Oscar Lopez) who identified himself as a representative from your resort. We were offered in exchange for what was stated to be a 90 minutes presentation at your location a return of: 2500 PESOS for excursions, 50.00 American Cash for shopping, 50.00 Avis Car rental for 4 day stay – that I PAID CASH FOR WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR!! We agreed to the deal and below will provide more detail on what I now feel like was a scam, fraud and intent to mislead! Our "supposed" 90 min visit turned into a 5 hour day of horror!
We were told to meet at a restaurant downtown Cozumel. After arrival we were told we need to take a ferry ride to Cancun (not originally told this, but told if we did not, we forfeited the agreement with the car and other items!)….I was not too concerned about the other items, but certainly became concerned about the use of the car and what charges might add up to be. …STILL, in an effort to fulfill the agreement and try to avoid what could potentially become extraordinary charges, we still complied.
After getting off the ferry, we were taken to a cab where were endured another 25 minutes (EACH WAY)…only to arrive and immediately be taken to a sales room. We were asked several questions and then brought to a brunch area. We had lunch with our sales rep and them were taken to visit 2 room types. Afterwards, again, taken back to the sales area. Our sales rep showed us several brochures and began to discuss pricing. We quickly made it clear that although we though the resort was nice, it was a treat for us to be on vacation and we were NOT interested in purchasing.
After several attempts to sway us a manager was called over for what we were told was "verification that she had done her job"….we assured the manager she had and that AGAIN….."We were NOT interested!"….Even HE made several more attempts before he stated, no problem, he would "get us out of there"…….we sat for another 10 minutes or so, when yet ANOTHER sales person came to us to try to reduce the amounts and offer us a used time share at a reduced price…..AGAIN….we made it very clear we were NOT buying and just wanted to leave.
It was about the 3rd sales rep that BOTH my husband and myself felt they began to get a little angry…….still we were told to follow them to another area (still within the sales building)…..and sat down again. YET ANOTHER person came to us. This person identified himself as a "friend of the owner". We were sat down and AGAIN….another attempt to sell was made……I had to explain to this person as well,,this was a special trip for us and that we were not buying anything. Although he remained persistent, he finally gave in and stated he would get us what we were promised.
However, after being left alone again for about 5-10 more minutes ANOTHER person came over. YET, another sales pitch was made. The manner in which the last 3 persons approached us was aggressive and intimidating! I am NOT one who is easily intimidated, let me make that perfectly clear. However, being in a foreign country and basically feeling as though we were at the mercy of the resort personnel to get back to where we need to catch the ferry, we felt almost threatened. Upon departure we asked that our receipt be stamped SEVERAL times to prove that we attended.
We were initially told this was a requirement to get the car at the promotional price. NO ONE would stamp our papers and kept telling us "It's in the system, AVIS will know you were here". After what was now approximately 4 hours later we were on our way back to the ferry via cab, feeling like we had lost an entire day of our vacation (as once we took the ferry ride back, it was 5 hours total later). Believing this part of the horror was over, we continued our vacation until we arrived to the airport on 6/17 to check out return back to the US. When we approached the counter at AVIS, we were told we owed and additional 127.00 American cash…….
I showed that I had already paid 50.00 cash and that I had a promotional paper indicating I had a zero balance. A man came to the counter who brought over the original person who made the offer at the airport upon our arrival who denied what was originally told to us. Instead, tried to tell us that the 2500 in PESOS was to be used for the car.. After a rather long standoff, I became concerned and felt threatened and agreed to pay the remaining balance so that I could move on and get back to the US. After returning tithe US I found that my credit card had been charged in excess of 249.00.
I am dealing with AVIS direct on that but have made them fully aware of the SCAM. In short, I feel certain that if this was done to me and my husband, this type of intimidation and threat must be also done to others. I want it made perfectly clear that I intend to report its sales tactics and intent to mislead to mislead to the Mexican authorities, the American Consulate, ALL travel agents and post as regularly as possible on all internet sites to warn others of what we went through.
I am thoroughly disgusted that my husband and I were treated and scammed this way and do not intend to go unspoken. I assure you that I will not stop postings for some time and if I can even help one person avoid this SCAM, I will continue to do so. The resort and its people are frauds and thieves in my eyes and I am certain that if this was done to us, it is done to many others on a daily basis. Note that you have ruined my views of what I believed to be a good vacation spot and it will be MANY years if ever that we decide to travel back to Mexico and BE MUCH MORE AWARE of scamming attempts such as this!

Mayan Palace Timeshare Scam
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 02, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, July 02, 2013
Unfortunately you got hooked into a Mayan Palace timeshare presentation; this resort is known for particularly hard sell tactics. ALL the transfer companies, car rental companies, etc. are OUTSIDE the airport. The people between Customs and the doors to the outside are almost all timeshare reps (couple of kids trying to make a few bucks hauling luggage for folks also). If you go back to the Riviera Maya do not stop or talk to any of these people until you get outside. If you feel you must be polite just say No gracias and keep walking with your eyes down or straight ahead. Most of them wear these really official looking uniforms and will tell you all sorts of lies, like how you have to show them your transfer papers, etc. Just ignore them and keep going.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I realize this is normal in older cars but I thought I read at one time that there is a way to upgrade the electrical system. I don't remember what or where and was hoping you guys could help me. What are your thoughts on making my lights not dim? I appreciate your help.
Assuming you have good connections the only thing different about your "old" car and any late model vehicle is the alternator and the headlights. Copper wire is copper wire
If you are not worried about originality, then get a late model single wire alternator which has the regulator built in. You can even leave the original regulator in place and not use it. The alternators are self exciting so its a matter of installing it and just hooking up the hot wire. After that if you want, get some replacement halogen lights. Not sure what the "hot setup" is there.
With those two things, you have it covered.
Make sure all connections are up to par and there is no wiring problems. Check the ground connection for the headlamps on the radiator support. You must determine if the alternator and the rest of the electrical system is performing adequatly. If your alternator is on the fritz I would replace it with a hi-amp late model one. Personally I would not use a one wire alternator, they are not as good as people believe they are (see madelectrical.com website).
Halogen headlamps are going to do you no good as long as you still have the factory wiring which is not adequate for the higher amperage. If you go to halogen headlamps I would install relays and heavier wire to handle the higher amperage requirements of them. Again, the Madelectrical web site has an excellent article on how to do this.
I agree on some of the aspects. There is advantage to the 3 wire because of idiot light etc. Very true.
But regarding replacing the lights with Halogens I really think the 69 wiring if in good shape with decent connections it will be fine.
I have replaced dozens of headlights on first gen camaros and have not seen the kind of voltage drop they show in that article.
Thanks for the link. The idiot light is definitly worth Jims consideration.
Thanks for the responses. I love the input. When I restored the car 3 years ago I installed a new wiring harness so that shouldn't be the problem. I have no problem upgrading to a newer alt for the car but I have know idea which one to get. I don't care about the dummy light if that's the only reason not to switch. I have the gauges in the console anyway.
By the way - how many amps does a stock alt have and when I get a new one how many should it have?
1. So if I were to switch to a newer GM unit which one do I buy?
2. If I go with a one wire which one do you recommend?
I guess the big question is do I go with a one wire or GM unit?
Thanks again

Vince's link was a good one. The one wire alternators are widely used in marine as well as street rod applications. I thought it was an easy way for you to swap one out without being an electrical rocket scientist.
Vinces link is pretty good and they have all the info you need. Looks like the sell a small adapter kit which should make it easy. The alternator will be available at any parts store. I dont know what your existing one is and could be as little as 35 amps. I am sure the late model one will be 75 or more which should run everything you need.
You mentioned console guages. That too could be a problem with the one wire if its factory. I dont remember what they did in 69.
The one wire will work and is easy to install if you go that route. The kit in the link will probably do a better job for you and looks like they have plenty of support for someone without electrical background. So Vince's choice would be my first one too.
The dim light syndrome is usually caused by bad grounds. Clean up all your connections.....should help.
dimm lites
believe it or not it just might be a old lite switch , or a bad ground on the headlights, or brake lights for that matter , loading the circuit causing a voltage drop. Does the lite switch get hot if running hi beams for awhile, indicates a bad switch. If you have a meter , hook the black lead of the meter directly to the neg (ground) side of the battery. Take the red lead and touch it to the place that your headlight gets it ground. You say you replaced the wiring so you should know where the headlights get to ground, thats the place you want. Set the meter to ohms the reading you are looking for is 000 , anything else is causing a drop. I saw something about halogen with the current problem you are having, if you go halogen IMHO you would might start blowing the fuse for that circuit. You can not add a lite to a circuit that is already telling you that it has all the load it almost can handle. Good wiring and that includes a good ground will give nice bright lites all day everyday.
I just though of a another way you could check the ground, Just take a wire hook it to the neg side of the battery and touch the ground side of the headlight with them on and if it is bad they will get brighter. Make sure it is the ground to the battery and the ground side of the lites or POP & sparks could accrue.
The more I write the more I think of, cameos have the sub frame thing going on and the body sits on rubber bushings, the batteries ground goes to the frame, so the body is isolated by the bushings . I would if I were there look for a ground problem , attach a wire from the frame to the fender ( clean the paint off ) that could show you something also............... good luck it is not a hard problem you have there and it sure looks like a ground thing..
test first
Before you just start changing parts, you need to determine the problem. With the engine running and the lights on, what is the voltage at the battery. is it at least 13.5 or so. If it is then the alternator is probably not the issue. If it is good check the voltage at the lights. Most times dim lights are caused buy a bad ground. If not at the headlights, check the on on the back of the head that goes to the firewall. It is very common for this not to get re-connected after engine work. It may just be hanging there. Its never a good idea to just replace parts without troubleshooting first. It can also be very expensive! A 69 Camaro has a relativly simple electrical system so diagnosis should be easy. A cheap voltmeter can be the best tool in your tool box.
One final note, single wire alternators work fine at higher rpm (over 1500). They do tend to be weak at idle. You allready have the wiring in place for a regular alternator so ther is really no reason to change over.
Maybe I misunderstood the original post, but I took it to be there is nothing really wrong with the car that it just suffers from typical 60s car dim lighting.
Am I wrong?
Dim lights can be cured by first checking/replacing the wires (I think you said you already rewired with a new harness) and then, using relays for your lights.
Go back to the Mad Electrical web site and read about his new system. By hooking up your light switch to relays which take a small amount of electric to switch on a direct connect from the battery to your headlights, your dim light problem will go away. You wont see your lights go dim when putting on the brakes either.
But first, you have to make sure your wiring and connectors are good. You don't want any loss due to bad headlight connectors either. Clean them up good.
The kit that Mad Electrical sells is tops and worth the money. You can go to your local autoparts store and get the relays, wires, etc., but his kit comes with everything and the documentation can't be beat. The only downside to it is you will loose the "stock" wiring because you need to install a battery junction block and 2 relays - one for high beams and one for low.
Dim lights...
Doc here,
Your chasing your ***...and producing NO results...and will continue to do so until you DO ALL the basics FIRST.
Check BOTH battery cables for no corrosion , tight connections and non frayed cables.
Check your Fuse link at the starter Solenoid for a loose bolt or loose wire into the terminal.
Voltage check the battery under total load...It should read 14.4 at idle and no lower than 13.75 at any time. It will not swing with RPM..13.75, 14.4 13.75..If it does replace it..the regulator/diode pack is defective. After recoup of surface Charge,(such as start) a proper operating alternator will produce 14.4 volts out at any RPM over 300...period...
NEXT if that is good, run your ground cable to the nearest starter bolt you can ground it to. From there run a ground cable that you will get at the auto parts store for about 6 bucks with 3/8 ring terminals on them, ground one to the frame, one to the starter bolt with everything else, from there, run 2 10 gauge black wires , one to the firewall, the other to the Alternator ground lug, or mount bolt. Get some braided ground straps at the store, and install one each at the fender well to frame, door post to door, trunk to body, hood to body...this will insure that ALL grounds are at the SAME potential. BURNISH all paint and grease from ALL ground points, and use a proper star washer, and tighten the bolts/screws.
If your Alternator mount is powered white , remove it and the alternator, you have electrolysis going on...you need to pressure wash or sandblast them back to BARE metal again, along with the hardware. Acquire some aluminum wire bonding paste and apply it to ALL hardware and mating surfaces and re~install...also be advised you might suffer premature water pump failure from the electrolysis, so you might consider replacing it now while your in there.
Now test your lighting system...If it's still dim, you will need to follow it further..
Pull , clean and inspect the firewall plug for dirt malformed pins or loose wires...a plug full of mud will do the same as well as corrosion.
Check your fusebox for melted, or loose fuses and corroded blades.
Voltage check your light switch..if you have 14.4 going in and 10.2 out...what's that tell you about the switch?
If you have a proper working charging system made to support the Vehicle it is in now.. It makes no sense to replace it "Just Cuz..." The stock alternator (if v8) , Should be 63 to 67 amps with no frills. Higher for options, like windows , AC, Seats, Froggy Lamps.
Halogens (and I have had, and discarded them off of several of my VETTES which sit LOW to the ground)in my opinion, serve one major purpose...To piss off oncoming traffic..especially when (like 90% of them on the road today are) they are mis~aligned AND at improper Hight (4 x 4's and customs) I'm totally sure they have their place for illumination and safety, but I just don't deal with them..BESIDES I've found incandescence last about 5 times longer..Your call, but for what I drive, and how I drive, I have NO use for them...Oh..and they gobble current...like gangbusters.
Do the basics FIRST..you'll probably find you will cure the problem for about $20 bucks and whatever a weekend of your time is worth...a lot better than buying a shootload of parts to install that won't change a thing ... at least until you cure the first one, first.
Dim lights
It is amazing how many parts are purchased and replaced that dont need to be. Your view is very similar to mine. Find the problem and fix it. Most times by the times it would end up cheaper taking it to someone who knows how to trouble shoot a problem and pay them to fix it right. I have done hundreds of electrical repair probelms after the owner has spent 300- 400 on parts and it ends up being a no parts fix. Grounds are the biggest issue on older cars. I have seen more cars that had heads replaced or engines replaced and the firewall ground was not re-connected.
Good luck

i can say that for about a year now Aveda universal styling creme and Fruit of the earth aloe vera gel are my HG's. it took me a while to realize i should combine them lol. i thank nc.com for that critical info! nothing can come close to the results i get with this combo. i've tweaked a few things to make my hair even better by adding honey and making my own spray leave in condish with spectrum naturals organic coconut oil and water. my hair is so amazing now and i'm so proud to be me, which is curly. i swear i get compliments literally everyday by someone new who is just in awe with my curls. i guess it's because they are so tight and well defined. the main questions i get asked are "do you twist your hair to make it curl like that?" and "is that a straw set?" when i say "nope that just the way it is" the looks on their faces are priceless lol.
