That's pretty much it. Hope you enjoy the stay!
It was just another Friday night on the town with mates for Terry Boot.
That was, of course, until he ended up guilt-ridden and saddled with a drunken and unconscious Theodore Nott. When his unwanted patient awakens, Terry finds himself questioning what he thinks he knows and finding the strangest of answers.
That Slash warning is annoying, isn't it? Urgh. It spoils the surprise element. But, getting to the story, I have to say, it was BRILLIANT! You need to continue this, my friend. I absolutely demand a sequel, even though I'm scared your Terry might get stuck in my head before I start my own project on him.
I think this is one of those fics where your sense of humour - the one which I obsess over ahaha - comes across strongly. Douche!Michael made me laugh so much. But the rest was also as enjoyable, and I particularly enjoyed the dialogue. My only complaint is that you cheated us of some smut. Hee hee hee.
Really liked it, and you must write more.
Author's Response:
Hehe, this was really just a product of me picking the most random freaking characters that came to me and paired them together for Emma's enjoyment. If I'd have put smut in there, it would've been a really, really long story, and I was already running late for work. XD
I just decided that not everyone is nice and there had to be at least one a******, and that just happened to be Michael. I don't know if that's my own personal canon or not, but it might be. I'll decide later when I write about his son, Garrett, who'll be James Jr's bestie.
I might write more on this story here and there, add a chapter perhaps. It might become my writers' block story like Harmony was supposed to be. I rather do like these two together, even hough i tend to ship Theo/Susan and Terry/dead.
Thanks for stopping by, dearing. I heart you muchly.
The break-up fic of doom is finally here. EGADS!
Though - phew - I love you for getting them back together in the end. :)
This fic was a real treat. It had less romance than your other J/L fics, but it is a healthy mix of that and the fear and danger that they were facing for real during those times. I loved your characterisation of everybody, but James and Lily especially. (And my favourite is the embarrassing moment with the snarky Healer Price.)
Seriously, I feel like I got an early Christmas gift reading this. Please don't stop writing!
Author's Response: Natalie! This is NOT the break-up fic of doom, my dear. I did start that, but it starts on the train back home after Lily has dumped James. And as you know, I planned out a whole chaptered fic for that. This was not what I had sketched out for Christmas, but I might still work it in somehow, if I ever decide to take on another J/L chaptered fic. Anyway - thank you so much for coming by to read this one. I'm really glad you liked it. *hugs* ~Gina :)
This is so funny and wond3rful. I lov3 r3ading lim3ricks as a rul3, and th3s3 s3t mak3 an amazing tribut3 to th3 much harangu3d Snap3.
Will you do th3s3 for th3 oth3r charact3rs? Pr3tty pl3as3?
Author's Response: Get this, Natalie: once, long ago, there was a time when I was active in Poetry Anyone. In fact, I even ran poetry challenges! One of them was a limerick challenge. I didn't write this for that challenge, but that's when I first tried my hand at limericks. Sadly, I have not done many since. I'll keep your request for more in mind, though. :D Thanks so much for the lovely review!! ~Gina :)
For someone who 'missed the screaming', Argus Filch was in his element the day the Carrows set foot into Hogwarts. Who knew that his kindred spirit had been walking the halls of the school for years already?
And it wasn't even Mrs Norris.
I have no other words to describe this except "brilliant". Honestly, Jess, I am even a little jealous because (a) I am personally invested in the pairing, and (b) I have thought about writing it, but nothing I have thought of matches up to this. This is just how rarepairs should be written.
You know, romance is not all about smut. It can be done so subtly, and the subtlety you have employed here is perfect. Romance doesn't always have to be appealing, too. What is shaping up here is as romantic as Filch/Anyone could get, but am I attracted to the idea? No. That said, it is still fascinating, mainly because it has been so masterfully, so aptly written.
And the setting is so realistic, the characterisation so utterly believable. This is just the kind of fanfiction which I like - credibile original, and enjoyable.
Author's Response:
You know, when I got this prompt, I wanted to hide from it and quit SPEW just so I didn't have to write it, but then I got the idea to make it macabre and a bit disturbing, because, well, the idea of Filch and Pince is on that side in the first place. And this is what came out.
I'm glad it doesn't suck and that it even appeals to a specific audience, because I was more worried about it creeping out readers. :D
Lovely review, matey!
I was looking for something interesting before popping off to sleep, and I came across this. Very sexy, if I may say so, and your fic pushes along the ship I sail at times - Scorpius/Me.Nice work, great title, and rather cheeky and fun! ~HJ
Hee, I love a cheeky Malfoy. You love a cheeky Malfoy. :D
I'm glad you liked it. Jen was pleased with it when she read it, so that's nice. Yay for random pairings!
Yes, you do like to beat him up. >.<
This was a rather interesting chapter - it makes me imagine so many things for what's going to happen next. I think it was the only Arithmancy class I've ever experienced in fanfiction ...and even HP fiction in general, so I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I loved Professor Wenlock, Gina. Nicely written OC there. Poor James, though.
One nitpick:
"That'd be Black," sniggered Jackson from in front of me.
"Lily Evans, of course," Penny smirked. "They've even got a lunch date."
I'd change the 'sniggered' and 'smirked' to words which are used in dialogue tags - say, tell, snap, offer, argue, etc., whichever seems appropriate, since we can't actually snigger or smirk words. Hehehe.
Cannot wait for the next update!
Ever your most-eager fan,
Author's Response: Hi Natalie! Thanks for the review!! I've changed those dialogue tags, so thank you for the suggestion. It's a habit of mine and I know those sorts of dialogue tags drive a lot of people nuts so I'll try to keep an eye out on them. I'm glad you liked Professor Wenlock, can you just imagine having a professor like him? Hee hee. Thanks for keeping up with this story, I hope you enjoy the rest! ~Gina :)
Okay. So I gave in. >.<This was just too...brilliant for words, Gina! Such a pure pleasure to read. I don't think there was a single line that didn't contribute anything to the story - the entire chapter had everything put together perfectly. I spent most of it laughing. I actually pity those who cannot appreciate the talent you have with dialogue. Conversing, talking is a part of everyday life, and Marauder banter is the best. You wrote James' POV so well. There are no favourites because every moment, every comeback, every smartass thing that was going in his mind was funny and goofy. I'll nag you everywhere until you submit the next chapter, and I apologise for this rambly review. D: ~Natalie
I swear, in the name of Boris' goatee, that this chapter alone is one of the best things I have ever, ever read in my life. Now, don't go denying my compliments as you always do - I mean it. I seriously mean it. I read the chapter thrice and thoroughly enjoyed every read.
I am still laughing at the Snames reference. See? That wasn't so hard. *sniggers*
This time, I do have a favourite part. Don't get me wrong, the whole thing was absolutely delightful, but this part was just...amazing.
I took a few steps closer, thinking she was going to be sick, but she stepped backwards, shaking her head. Her hair settled around her shoulders, and I was suddenly struck by a familiar scent: vanilla, laced with lavender. I stared at her, speechless, and she stared back, equally stunned. Students passed around us, oblivious to what was happening in this private moment that was ours and ours alone. I wasn't sure what it was, but I couldn't move and didn't want it to end.
Author's Response: Natalie, I took out the line about Sirius barking, since someone would definitely call me on it, lol. But I left the Snames just for YOU! LOL! I'm glad you picked up on it, I was laughing madly to myself when I wrote it. I even IMed you but you missed it. Anyway, thank you for the amazing review. I am going to deny your compliment, just because I'm not sure this is as tight as some of my other J/L stuff, but then, what do I know? I've already got more reviews for this one than the wedding fic that buried me! Don't get me wrong, I quite like it and am having a blast, it's just funny what other people like in my writing as compared to what I see and like. I hope you like the next bit, I managed to work in some Arithmancy after all, and beat James up pretty bad. Thanks again and Happy Valentine! ~Gina :)
WHOA! My review got cut.
Anyway, what I was saying was, this is a truly great fic, and you have made me fall in love with Prongsie all over again. I can't wait for the next chapter.
P.S. I have actually been waiting the whole day for the update. :)
Author's Response: Oops, I missed responding to this bit. That's good because I always wonder why all your reviews are for the first chapter? LOL. Thank you and I'm glad you are enjoying Prongs again! ;)
On the day of Draco Malfoy's post-war trial for the conspiracy to murder Albus Dumbledore, one Harry James Potter offered to give testimony. But what did Draco's oldest enemy have to say about the boy who had caused him nothing but grief for seven years?
This story has been nominated for a 2011 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best General Story.
Hahaha! This was another engaging read from you. Actually, the entire thing was fun and didn't have a single moment where the sense of urgency slowed down. I found Harry's testimony was a great thing to experience, a real treat. Although this is a complete story by itself, you could take it further. *wink wink*The only thing which I thought could have been there was that moment at Malfoy Manor where Draco refuses - more or less - to recognise Harry. No doubt you had a good reason for not bringing that up.
Keep writing, and see you soon on the list!
Author's Response:
This was just good, old-fashioned fun at Draco's expense. It's a moment I'd planned to incorporate into my giant Draco fic, but seeing as what I have written of it is complete shit, I've decided to piece together the story in a series of one-shots or maybe a shorter chaptered fic at some point.
I know what you mean about the Malfoy Manor thing, and I thought hard about that before deciding to leave it out. I sort of think that Harry mentally gives Draco a pass for anything that happened after Dumbledore's death, because he knows Draco isn't a killer and is in a really crap situation, so it really isn't his fault. Since Draco's also a bit spineless, he never could have brought himself to sell out Harry, since reality hath already made him less naive about what would come of that and what death looked like. I think Charity Burbage's death changed everything for Draco and how he perceived his own lot.
That's enough ramble. I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and thanks for being a great e-bestie. :D
Hahahaha! This was brilliant. It really made me laugh. The thought of Draco getting it on with Bulstrode...*shudder*I'm glad you decided to post it, Carole! ~Natalie
Holy Prongs! Every time you write a James/Lily, I think: This is it. This is how much I can love James Potter. And then, you write something new, and I fall in love even more. How do you do it ?
This story was so... fresh. I really, really loved everything about it. Lily was so amazing, and I think that in three chapters, you managed to tell a really wholesome story. It is so tragic that they don't have much time left with each other.
Gina, this is one of those fics which I'll be returning to read over and over again. I love it so!
Author's Response: Look at me, responding six months later! A very belated thank you, Natalie. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and really do appreciate the review! ~Gina :)
Hehehe. I had to review; I was planning to 'crit' it for March anyway.
So, I was obviously interested in this poem because I'd written Draco/Harry as well using the same POV. My only thought when I reached the end of the poem was this: Dammit! This is much better than mine.
There are poems which are beautifully written, and then there are poems which are a joy to read. This one belonged to both. The rhyming is nicely done, the feelings are nicely explored, and the story is well-told. I also loved your turns of phrase. A few of them are un-poetic – "I ask him if he'll have a drink with me"; others are inherently so – "Those lively eyes that shine so picturesque". Yet, they blend in beautifully.
This was a great job, Jess! I think it ties with the Greyback poem for my favourite poem from you.
P.S.: This is my 150th review. :D
Author's Response:
Squee! A review!
Squee, your 150th review!
Squee! This poem doesn't suck!
I have no idea what prompted me to write it. I was clicking along on a Katie/Oliver chapter, and suddenly I opened a new doc and out it came. I almost always default to the sonnet, even though structure wasn't exactly necessary, but I think it worked well in this instance.
The difference between the 'I ask him if..." line and the 'Those lively eyes' line was meant to be Draco was thinking a bit more clearly, but once he got some booze in him, his brain started scampering to and fro, coming to a lot of strange conclusions. We all think we're smooth when we're drunk, hehe.
I'm glad you like the poem, and thanks for being my first review! Luv ya!
Hello Katrina!Tom Riddle 'romance' is something that draws me in - especially the type in which the characterisation is done as well as you've done here. Because I'm a closeted McGonagall/Riddle shipper, my first instinct was that it was Minerva. But as we moved along, the character didn't sound like Minerva and my interest heightened. I must be very slow today because I didn't guess Myrtle until the Chamber was mentioned. Intriguing choice there! It puts a rather nice twist to the whole history behind Moaning Myrtle. The only thing I kept asking myself was...Why didn't Myrtle haunt Riddle? If she had had a 'boyfriend', I imagine her coming to talk to him. So, I'd have liked to see a little bit of that. Perhaps Riddle did something to stop her haunting him? That is the canon-stickler in me speaking. I think the story as a whole was brilliant, and I loved you went against the grain and chose Myrtle. That Riddle wanted to explore his sexual side is a very interesting topic to examine, and you have explored that here so well! Keep writing! ~Natalie
It was the worst news a father could receive: his son was marrying his worst enemy's daughter.
But for Draco Malfoy, being in the role of the reasonable parent was in itself a debacle as he tried to make the best of a bad situation. But when circumstances forced him to spend more time than he ever cared to with the most irritating Mudblood on the planet, he constantly questioned his sanity, as well as that of his son.
However, Draco might have come to realise that things change, as well as people. Is Hermione Granger Weasley the mad bint he remembered, or were they both a little different this time around?
A Dra-Comedy.
This story has been nominated for a 2011 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Non-Canon Romance.
This story has also been nominated for a 2014 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Humour Story.
LMFAO. Why haven't I read this before? WHY? What is wrong with me? This is completely hilarious and glorious. You should never stop writing Draco. After Brazen, I'd thought you couldn't top yourself, but you have. Brilliant first chapter, and just so amazing in all its snarkiness.
Author's Response:
As you know, torturing Draco is a favourite pastime of mine, so it was my consolation in writing a pair I cardinally dislike. He's still a bitter pill, but he's mellowed and turned into a bit more reasonable a bloke.
OH MY PRONGS! This is seriously one of the most enjoyable fics I have ever read in my life. You write Draco so bloody wonderfully it's insane. I was laughing throughout the whole thing, and just ... LMFAO you crazy woman! There were so many lulzy moments in the fics I was nearly in tears. Going straight to my favourites! Great work, and I can't wait for the last chapter.
Author's Response:
I torture Draco for sport, ngl. I'm glad it could bring you so much amusement, hehe. Heartsssss!
The poem is beautiful. I love the way you effortlessly do the jive around these villainous poetic forms. The imagery is perfect for portraying a marriage gone sour, especially the last line: Each day they lie, too cold for dreams..
My only complaint: WHY NEVILLE? Boy deserves a happy marriage. *sob*
Author's Response: I know ... I'm sorry. I didn't want him to be unhappy, but ... it was the Laureate's fault. Thank you for leavingme a review. I was nearly forced to review it myself *snort* ~Carole~
I have never read Teddy/Victoire this way. It was an interesting and refreshing take.
You know, I don't really favour second-person POV - can't write it well either. But it was done nicely here. It almost sounds like Victoire is with Teddy, and thinking about this, not saying it out loud.
One thing that intrigued me about your characterisation was Victoire's Veela-temper. I tend to see her as a female version of Bill, cool and collected, and now I am thinking: why? I think it's reasonable to expect some hot-headedness from Fleur's daughter.
Teddy was great. I do think of him as a guy who doesn't shy away from crying. That scene in the Shrieking Shack was sad, though. :( I felt somewhat teary when he thought of his father's transformation.
All in all, I enjoyed reading this. Hope to read more from you soon!
Author's Response: Hi Natalie, Thanks so much for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it and thought it refreshing and interesting! That means a lot. I actually like second person a lot, I quite like trying out different perspectives and tenses, but this one sort of came from the song. So you're right, it's like she's thinking these things when she's with him. I've read a lot of interpretations of Victoire - some where she's just like Fleur and some where she's quite different. To me, being a Weasley and part Veela, she'd probably have a temper (because even though Bill is calm and collected, the rest of his family aren't quite so good at staying calm). I think she's probably fiercly loyal and very protective of Teddy because of how much he's suffered. In a way it's like how Molly treats Harry, though obviously different because that's a mother/son sort of relationship, but that kind of thing anyway. I'm glad you liked Teddy, I've always been drawn to him as a character because Remus and Tonks are great characters and he is, in many ways, mirroring Harry. I think he would go to the Shrieking Shack, because it's a physical place which he can connect particularly to his father. I'm glad you enjoyed this! I hope to keep writing, I'm currently about halfway through my first Marauder-era fic, so hopefully that will be up soon. ~Katrina
Bachelor life suited Zach Smith just fine, and the lack of expectations on his time and attention suited him even more.
But his life changed in an instant with a knock on the door and an unexpected delivery.
HAHAHA! I cannot wait to see where this story goes. Brilliant start, Jess. You might succeed at making us like Smith just a little bit.
Author's Response:
Well, no one's an a****** forever, not even dearest Draco. I thought that it was fitting for Amanda's story was about redeeming the incorrigible. :D
But fie on toddler antics for being hard to write, lol.
Oh Prongs, I was laughing so hard last night when I read this. This is just amazing! SnapeHart, of course.
I really thought the story was brilliant because all of them were in character. I find Lockhart the most obnoxious character in the HP series, yet he provides me so much entertainment. No wonder I can't let go of my current banner.
The plot was genius! I love that you made it a Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw thing. Sprout's Hufflepuff nature showed in her hesitations, but even badgers have to be nasty once in a while. WE BITE if we have to!
Sevvy was rather fun. Haha! I love the camaraderie between the staff members; it's written in the way I imagine it to be. Although...er...what happened to him in the end? I mean, Lockhart is certainly not James Potter. *Snigger*
The sense of humour with which the story was written was fantastic. It had me laughing throughout, but when Lockhart jumps on Snape, dear Merlin, I nearly died.
Yes, it was seamlessly written - I couldn't tell which part was whose until I saw the end note. Fabulous work, guys! Good luck for the challenge.
P.S. Thank you for dedicating it to me. :D
Author's Response: Of course we had to dedicate it to you; it was the first thing we agreed on because we know you're a huge fan of this ship. *giggles and runs away*. Natalie, thank you very much for the review (and the impromptu beta work) Both Gina and I had a great time writing this (well, I hope she did), so it's good that you enjoyed it. ~Carole~

The Fine Print on T-Mobile's Free International Roaming Plan
T-Mobile is being touted as "The Best Carrier for Those Who Travel Abroad" (ABC News) due to their recent announcement that there will be no more overseas data fees starting in late October. However, it may not be the best solution for those who travel abroad – especially if they are used to high-speed connections or want to access the Internet with something other than their phone. Here's the fine print:
- The T-Mobile service will only offer data at up to 2G speeds. When's the last time you connected at 2G? Expect a 30-minute wait to upload a web page. Having fun yet?
- They will sell you the ability to boost your speed (and believe me you will want to) with high-speed data passes starting at $15 for 100MB for one day.
- This plan does not allow for tethering. In other words, you can only access the Internet via your phone. If you are used to connecting your reader, laptop, tablet, etc. while on the road, you'll still need to purchase Wi-Fi for those devices.
- T-Mobile only covers 100 countries. Yes, many of the major countries are there, but you may want to check the list. Also note that they do not guarantee coverage.
- You will be required to sign up for a contract for at least one year in order to take advantage of this feature.
- This plan was not designed to meet the needs of someone who frequently travels abroad. At least half of your data usage in any three-month period must be in the United States.
- Taxes are additional. Some countries tax Internet usage and those charges will be added to your bill.
- All access is actually not free – calls over Wi-Fi will be charged at $.20/minute and texts over Wi-Fi will cost $.20 each.
This may be a good option for someone who travels occasionally for pleasure and has limited data needs. If you are a heavy data user, if you travel often, if you do not have the time or patience to wait for web pages to load, if you need to access Wi-Fi with multiple devices, if you are traveling to one of the countries they do not cover, if you do not want to have to sign a one-year contract, or if you want to know exactly what your access will cost – then XCom Global's flat-fee, high-speed wireless Internet access rental service remains the best solution for your international travel needs.

Are You Teased?
Beyonce plays a surprising role in the new Fifty Shades of Grey teaser trailer that was recently leaked online.
Even though she is not playing a lead role in this film, you can still hear a snippet of a slowed down and somewhat sexual version of her debut solo single, "Crazy in Love," towards the very end of the trailer. To add even more speculation and rumors to the situation, the teaser trailer was released directly through her official Instagram account.
Keep in mind that Beyonce is not producing the movie. She is not close friends or even acquaintances with the author of this popular erotica book series, E.L. James. As far as we know, Beyonce was not added to the cast of this movie – especially since the primary story line centers around two characters, Christian Grey (played by Jamie Dornan) and Anastasia Steele (played by Dakota Johnson). None of her songs were even featured on the song playlist featured throughout the content of the book.
Why, then, was Beyonce and her song used to promote this teaser trailer? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that she is having marital problems with Jay-Z, especially with all of the speculation, rumors and raw footage that has been leaked over the past several months in reference to their relationship.

The cold season is here...
Here are some interesting snippets from a Barnes & Noble interview with the author of a new book called "Ah-Choo!"
... One of the big myths, I think, about colds is that having a weakened immune system means being susceptible to colds. And that's really not the case. The wisdom now is if you want to tamp down a cold, boosting any element in the immune system may be the last thing you want to do. In fact, you could create cold symptoms without injecting a cold virus at all. Just injecting the body's own inflammatory agents will give you the symptoms of the cold. So exciting those agents, by boosting immunity, may only worsen the effects.
... There's a whole range of factors that affect susceptibility. Age is one of them; susceptibility declines over time. Each time you catch a cold from a particular virus, the body creates an antibody and you won't get it again. So a teenager will catch more colds than someone who's in their 50s or 60s. And we know that there are other factors, such as sleep and stress. People who sleep fewer than seven hours a night are three times more likely to get colds than longer sleepers. And chronic stress is another indicator for increased susceptibility.

Don and Megan Draper
By JACKIE WILLIS

The cast of Mad Men returns for a sixth season on April 7th, and in anticipation, AMC has released some super sexy, costume-centric pics of the good-looking cast. From Don (Jon Hamm) and Megan Draper (Jessica Paré) caught in a steamy embrace just outside a soiree to the Campbells (Alison Brie and Vincent Kartheiser) sharing a formal dance, these seven shots are sure to excite Mad Men fans and perhaps offer hints as to what to expect next season.

Submitted by: Elizabeth on Aug 21, 2013We just recently had the pleasure of visiting the Chenoweth Kennel and Farm. What a wonderful way to spend a day!! A gorgeous setting, top notch facility and Ron was more than generous with his time. EVERY question we had was answered and the tour we had was phenomenal. Ron will be a lifelong friend and contact for us anytime we have any Vizsla questions or needs. We are pleased to be bringing another Female into our home this September and we are proud to put CK in front of her name! Thank you Ron and Denise. We are looking forward to seeing you again as the puppies grow. (Mesa, our 2 year old Vizsla..can't wait to return to Countryside as well)
Submitted by: Nick Anderson on Jul 06, 2013Ron and Denise have been great to work with and they have been so helpful with any questions or concerns we have had. It never matters what time of the day it is they are always there to help us out with any problems. We have bought a total of 3 puppies from Chenoweth Kennels and we absolutely love them. Our oldest dog Diamond (4 years old) is a wonderful companion and also a great hunter. She is a well rounded dog which is exactly what we wanted in a Vizsla. Before we bought Diamond we talked to Ron and told him what we were looking for in a puppy and he helped us pick one out. Based on his experience of what we were looking for. Ron knows what he is looking at and Diamond is everything we could have ever wanted in a Vizsla. Chenoweth Kennels has high standards and their breeding program goals are to produce the best and to help preserve the breed. It's so wonderful to work with someone that wants to produce the best and has pride about their breeding program. If you are looking for a puppy I would highly recommend Chenoweth Kennels you won't be disappointed.
Submitted by: Brian Gingrich on Jun 04, 2013As a professional trainer I have found Ron & Denise's dogs to have everything I look for in a quality Field Trial or hunting dog. Chenoweth Kennel dogs have demonstrated great trainability, strong prey drive, beautiful style, incredible endurance, and the love of what they are bred to do! They are also very personable dogs that can be your buddy in the house and a first-class bird dog in the field. I've had the pleasure of training and competing with Ron & Denise's male Guy. Guy earned the title MVSDC 1XCH FC CK Touchdown Guy at the age of 25 months! Ron & Denise take great pride in their dogs and are very selective as to they who breed to, ensuring a first-class dog and the continued improvement of our breed. If you're looking for a great pet & first-class bird dog, I feel very comfortable recommending Chenoweth Kennels!
Submitted by: Renee Sandidge on Feb 22, 2013We purchased our puppy, Marlowe, from Rom and what a great addition he has been to our family. He has a great temperment and a lot of spunk. Training has been easy as he is very food motivated.
Overall we are very pleased with Marlowe.
Submitted by: Leon Goerdt on Feb 10, 2013Although I have not purchased a puppy from Ron and Denise, I have had the privilege of hunting over dogs they have raised and also have watched them work at field trials. I have been very impressed with how they have performed in both venues. The dogs I have had the opportunity to observe have demonstrated ease of handling and phenomenal noses. Also they exhibit great natural pointing instinct and retrieving ability.
I would recommend that anyone looking for a great bird dog as well a wonderful companion look no further than Chenoweth Kennels.
Submitted by: Breyana Chapman on Feb 06, 2013I have known Ron and Denise for many years now. Not only are they well educated about the vizsla breed, but they are caring individuals that only want the best for their puppies. They helped me pick out my vizsla, Lucy, based on her energy level and we are a perfect match!! I could not be any happier!! I would highly recommend getting a vizsla from Ron and Denise. Whether you want a champion hunting dog or just a cuddly friend for home, they have the perfect pet for you. I am very satisfied with Lucy and when the time is right, I will get another vizsla from Ron and Denise.
Submitted by: Michael O'Donoghue on Feb 04, 2013Update: My girl CK Karaleva Cleopatra at 11.5 months old has 2 points toward AFC having won a field trial walking derby at 9 months old and now has her first pass at Senior Hunter this past weekend. Ron is breeding outstanding pups. Ron and Denise are wonderful folks and have been very supportive since day one!
Submitted by: Rev. Jim McClure on Feb 01, 2013We are delighted with our Vizsla through Chenoweth Kennels! Millie is now 7mos. old, our 2nd Vizsla, and to no one's surprise, shows remarkable field skills/nose/pose/point/non-stop drive, then balanced by calmly loving on you & family in the balance of time, after the hunt. An added blessing is the new Network of Friends one makes, with good Vizsla folks hanging out with other good folks, like Chenoweth fellow Vizsla friend Mark Sullivian for starters; again, all wonderful folks. Over our lifetime we have bred other lines of dogs, but the Vizsla breed tops all; and working with folks like Chenoweth Kennels & friends, with a long & excellent track record, makes this a delightful project over the longhaul. Good folks who will be there for you throughout your Vizsla experience. Means a lot.
Rev. Jim & Paula McClure Family Team at Spirit Wind Retreat Center (17bath lodge/retreat in the Mtns. of Floyd, VA.... where Vizslas roam!)
Submitted by: Casey Jackson on Feb 01, 2013I bought my puppy, Caroline from Chenoweth Kennels four years ago. Caroline has been such a joy in my life. She is my companion and see is the first to alert me if there is a weird noise outside my house. I am a single female and I own my own home, so I wanted a dog to protect me and keep me company. I am in the military, so I have to run all the time to stay in shape. When Caroline was three months old I started taking short jogs with her, and oh man, does she love to run! Of course, chasing the birds is fun too. Chenoweth Kennel is a top notch and progressional kennel. Their customer service and knowledge about the vizsla breed is matchless!!
Submitted by: Greg Erickson on Jan 30, 2013I was lucky enough to hear about the Chenoweth Farm's Vizsla's January 2012. Ron told me they had a liter just born that were terrific. March I went to select my pup. Ron and Denise helped me first choose the right pup for me and my family. He asked me a few questions about what I was looking for in a dog, which was for a family pet and perhaps some light hunting. When we chose our dog we went for the pup that showed the most interest in my three boys. Linkin was chosen, and what a great choice he was. Our dog is so easy to train it's insane. He is friendly, SMART, loveable and very gentle around kids did I mention Smart? The Chenoweths have really helped with any questions I've had even months after getting Linkin. I called Ron a few times with questions about Vizsla behavior and and training techniques. I have been nothing but impressed with the my dog and the Chenoweths advice and service. I HIGHLY Recommend getting a Vizlsa from Ron and Denise.

Fried prawn
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Fried prawn (海老フライ or エビフライ? ebi furai) is a deep fried dish popular in Japan as well as Japanese restaurants worldwide. It is a speciality of the city of Nagoya.
A popular ingredient of Japanese bento, Fried Prawn Bentō (海老フライ弁当 or エビフライ弁当? ebi furai) is a common menu item at bentō shops.
Traditionally Kuruma Ebi was used, but since a decline in its cultivation, many stores have started using black tiger shrimp and Ise Ebi. It is thought that ebi furai was created around 1900 in response to the growing popularity of similar dishes such as Tonkatsu and minced meat cutlets in the Western food restaurants of Ginza and Tokyo.
Each prawn is straightened out flat, and a small incision made along its back. The gritty tasting digestive tract is then pulled out of this incision.
The prawn is then coated with flour, beaten egg and japanese breadcrumbs Panko in that order, and deep-fried in hot cooking oil.
The head is usually removed before cooking. However, if the prawn is fresh enough, it may be cooked and served whole. Some people prefer to eat the head, which becomes crispy.
Fried prawns are often eaten with a choice of thick Worcester sauce, Hoisin sauce, lemon juice or tartare sauce.
Ebi-don (海老丼 or エビ丼, fried prawn and egg over rice) - the prawns are brushed with egg only, and placed on top of a bowl of hot rice.
Cultural reference[edit]
Ebi furai is acknowledged as one of Nagoya's specialty foods mainly due to a joke made by the popular Japanese tarento (celebrity) Tamori about ebi furai being called ebi furyaa in the Nagoya dialect. Whilst this term did not exist in the Nagoya dialect prior to his joke, as foreign loan words generally do not change in Japanese dialects, it led a large portion of his audiences to believe that this was an extant variant used in the Nagoya area.[1]

Great bar food: the best outdoor bars with delicious eats
Sample delicious bar food at these alfresco watering holes—you'll find great burgers, succulent clam rolls and more bar snacks.
Sea Witch
Sweet Afton
d.b.a. Brooklyn
Bier International
Flatbush Bar(n)
Bar food is no longer limited to stale pretzels and limp burgers—there are plenty of great snacks to be found at bars around the city. Here, find five of our favorite outdoor bars with delicious eats, such as the clam roll at Sea Witch—a delicious summer seafood staple—or Bier International's German sausages.
RECOMMENDED: Best summer drinks in NYC
Sea Witch
The aquatic theme is apparent as soon as you step inside: There's a gigantic fish tank behind the bar and a mermaid mural on the back wall. The undersea vibe continues in the spacious enclosed backyard, with its large koi pond. Take a seat at a wooden bench and sip one of the 20 beers on tap, such as Smuttynose Summer Weizen ($6). To soak up the suds, try the clam roll ($12), packed with fried Ipswich bivalves and homemade tartar sauce; if you prefer your eats from dry land, the burger ($6) is simple and satisfying.
Sweet Afton
The dark interior of this Queens gastropub gives way to an intimate, almost secret garden out back, with ivy-covered walls and shimmering fairy lights overhead. The bar implores you to "drink local," offering suds from Sixpoint, Ommegang and other New York State beer makers. When it's time to eat, go for the substantial burger ($11), adorned with McClure's pickles and served on a country white bun; the briny topping also comes beer-battered and fried as a side dish ($6) accompanied by smoky sauce.
d.b.a. Brooklyn
After the success of last summer's pop-up Tchoup Shop outpost, which served Big Easy grub in d.b.a.'s backyard, the beer bar's owners have lined up more outdoor eats this season. Lucy Roux, a caterer with Cajun, Dominican and Southern influences, will serve farmers' market vegetable jambalaya ($8) and smoky red rice and beans ($6), among other items, on Fridays (4–8pm), Saturdays and Sundays (1–6pm). Grab a pint of lemony Anchor Summer Beer ($6) or the dark-wheat Franziskaner Dunkel ($6), before taking a seat at the picnic tables outside (arrive early if you want to snag a shady spot under the umbrellas).
Bier International
This European-inspired space helped kick-start the Harlem brew scene when it opened in 2010, and it remains an uptown destination for beer-garden fare. A diverse crowd sips from the menu's mostly European selections (approximately 18 brews on draft and another 30 in bottles), such as Reissdorf Kölsch ($6). Find a spot on the sidewalk, and sample a large Bavarian pretzel ($5) or—if you're rolling with a group—the sausage platter ($30), which comes with five brats and a choice of sides like truffle fries or sauerkraut.
Flatbush Bar(n)
As at its sister restaurant, Flatbush Farm, the emphasis here is on local and organic ingredients—in the cocktail menu's Garden Snake ($12), for example, the cucumber and Thai basil that accompany the gin are sourced from a nearby farm. Take your refreshing quaff to the spacious, leafy backyard, dotted with rustic tables surrounded by herb boxes. The bar menu is short and simple, with options including a half dozen oysters ($14) or bacon-studded mac and cheese ($12).

Nosh on complimentary grub every day of the week. Alligator Lounge (Daily)Ask for any drink at this no-frills watering hole at any time before last call and you're entitled to a freshly made personal pizza. But you already know this, thanks to numerous 3:30am drunken meals, don't you? Here's a new trick: Save even more dough by opting for a Yuengling or Bud Light, the cheapest brews on tap ($4). 600 Metropolitan Ave between Leonard and Lorimer Sts, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-599-4440) Anfora (Mondays) Between 5 and 7pm, enjoy a plate of charcuterie, pickles and bread covered in melted raclette cheese (after 7pm $15). The West Village wine bar's beverage director, Joe Campanale, suggests pairing the gratis snack with a glass of beaujolais villages ($11). 34 Eighth Ave between Jane and W 12th Sts (212-518-2722, anforanyc.com) Blind Tiger Ale House (Wednesdays) On hump days at 6pm, this haven for serious brewheads offers an assortment of cheeses (two pounds' worth) from nearby Murray's Cheese, as well as baguettes from Tom Cat Bakery. Ask the barkeep which draft will best complement your snack. 281 Bleecker St at Jones St (212-462-4682, blindtigeralehouse.com) The Brazen Head (Mondays) At 5pm, bartenders at this friendly suds mecca set out 30 pounds of hot wings. To partake in the feasting, simply purchase a brew (normally $5.50--$8), which is a buck off during happy hour (4--8pm). 228 Atlantic Ave between Boerum Pl and Court St, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn (718-488-04
Ryan's Daughter
Though Ryan's Daughter only opened in 1979, there has been a bar at the same Upper East Side location since the Prohibition era. Over the years, the pub has maintained the same welcoming feel and today, it still plays host to plenty of neighborhood events. Stop by on the first Wednesday of every month to watch the unofficial UES poll championships. From time to time, the upstairs bar even hosts performances of plays written by local thespians. During the colder months, sip on an Irish coffee to warm up—Ryan's Daughter offers both the classic recipe and one spiked with whiskey and Bailey's—or a hot toddy. The bar has an extensive list of beers on tap, including their own house ale ($5), Paulaner hefeweizen ($6) and Six Point "The Crisp" Pilz ($6). The usual suspects—Budweiser ($5), Corona ($6) and Pabst Blue Ribbon ($4)—appear in bottles or cans, but the best deal might be the pairing of a can of Narragansett Del's Shandy with a well shot ($9).
Venue says: "Join us every Monday night for themed quizzes in our cozy second floor bar. $50 bar tab to the winning team. Prizes for the "losers" too"

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi! I believe I can be of help with this issue.
I can imagine how frustrating this situation must be for you. Her doctor is an authority, however the web seems to be telling a different story. You are clearly a loving parent and are right to try to make sure that you don't put your daughter into harm's way. Good for you.
More than likely what you saw on the web was reference to increased serotonin problems, maybe even serotonin syndrome, which is indeed scary. But it is also very rare. The reason for this possibility being brought up is that Zoloft is an SSRI and Cymbalta is an SNRI. Even though they act on the serotonin uptake system differently, they both are involved in that brain function. Therefore the worry and possibility.
But like with every medication you're weighing the risk/benefit ratio. And your psychiatrist is doing that and concluding what most doctors do: the incidence of anything as serious as serotonin syndrome is very rare. And furthermore, if she were to have adverse reactions, there would more than likely be time to withdraw the medications to avoid very serious consequences. And third, she is at a young age where her systems are strong and if there are adverse reactions and she has to go off the meds, she more than likely can handle that okay. So you see, your doctor is seeing a lot of upside in the benefit side, it looks like, and not so much downside on the risk side. This really is reasonable treatment thinking and most psychiatrists would agree with the approach as this combination of meds and classes of drugs happens not rarely at all.
You might also consider adding a behavioral component to your treatment for your depression and anxiety. While behavioral treatment requires more effort from the patient than medications and is not as quick acting, it doesn't have the side effects nor withdrawal symptoms of the medications. If you would like to introduce a behavioral treatment, feel free to ask me another question about it. Just write "For Dr. Mark" at the beginning and everyone will know it's for me.
Okay, I wish you the very best!
My goal is for you to feel like you've gotten Great Service from me and the site. If we need to continue the discussion for that to happen, then please feel free to reply and we'll continue working on this. If the answer has given you the help you need, please remember to give a rating of 5 (Great Service) or 4 (Informative and helpful), or even 3 (Got the job done) button. This will make sure that I am credited for the answer and you are not charged anything more than the deposit you already made by pressing any of these buttons. Bonuses are always appreciated! If I can be of further help with any issue now or in the future, just put "For Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, XXXXX XXXXX

I just bought an 81 320i or an E21 and I want to put new speakers in it and I don't know what size they each are.
Any suggestions?
4x6 are the standard size for all 4 speakers. Most best buy type speakers will fit in the holes but it will be difficult to get the factory covers back on.
Make sure you get those three way speakers, those rock.

After suffering for years, naturally I supposed that the MD would be an evil, cackling figure, rubbing his hands with glee as another points failure at Barnes condemned 10,000 homegoing commuters to miss their children's bedtime, their dinner and their favourite TV show.
Instead, Andrew Haines turned out to be a charming Welshman who has worked on the railways all his adult life, and loves them. He was engagingly candid about the horrors commuters have to face and the problems he has to cope with.
(For instance, British-made rolling stock is hopeless, and the new Gatwick Express trains so wobbly that buffet trollies have had to be banned. Or this: on the continent and in Japan, 100% of the rails are ground every 12 months. This helps prevent hairline cracks of the type that ultimately caused the smash at Hatfield. In Britain, only 1% per year of the rails get the treatment.)
At the training school session I attended, an actor was demonstrating how not to approach possible fare dodgers, that is aggressively, with peaked hat pulled down, arms folded and sarcastic manner. I was pleased to see that the trainees were outraged by this performance, a clue for them what it can be like to be on the receiving end.
On the way back to London my new friend Andrew chatted about the improvements he plans: LED indicators for all platforms giving you all the information you need, plus 700 new coaches at a million pounds each - built in Germany, of course. He introduced himself to train staff in a friendly and helpful way. A passenger, seeing his badge, produced a ticket. "I'm not actually the inspector," he said, "only the managing director. But I'll happily check your ticket for you." Which he did, while courteously opening the door for me. I left in the warm glow that comes from meeting people who care about their work and want you to appreciate their efforts. Indeed, I idly wondered if he might be an actor himself, pretending to be the MD for the press, while the real one is indeed a grasping, cackling, demoniac misery-guts.
Next morning the 9.28 was, as it almost always is, 20 minutes late. Signalling problems at Wimbledon. But for the first time, I simply felt a faint frisson of sympathy for the company's employees, instead of the blind rage experienced by my fellow passengers.
Reader Garry Woodman writes from Romford enclosing a guide to the splendid Genius Of Rome exhibition now on at the Royal Academy. The show is sponsored by a bank, which notes: "The ideas that stimulated the rise of baroque art at the onset of the 17th century are echoed in Credit Suisse First Boston's commitment to empowering change in the 21st century ..."
"Perhaps you could ask your readers to suggest examples of how CSFB's 'commitment to empowering change in the 21st century' are linked to Caravaggio's stunning 17th-century paintings?" Mr Woodman asks without, I suspect, much hope of a reply.
It's always nice to get a new book with your name on the cover. Prion have just republished AG MacDonnell's forgotten classic, The Autobiography of a Cad, at a mere £8.99, which is not bad for a hardback. I've done the introduction. MacDonnell was a Scot who is most famous for his, in my view, inferior work - England, Their England.
Cad is the story of an outrageous Tory MP who lies, cheats, steals and whores his way to the top, and the wonderfully bleak ending has him looking back with satisfaction on his immensely successful career. It's very funny indeed, though your toes curl while you laugh. The book was first published in 1938, and was not a great success: a year before we went to war, nobody wanted to be told what a corrupt and venal nation this was. Yet it reads as freshly today as ever. Fox-Ingleby, the eponymous cad, is a blend of Jonathan Aitken, Neil Hamilton, David Mellor and a hint of Peter Mandelson. He has greed and the lechery, but also the extraordinary ability to justify to himself the most selfish actions, the most outrageous lies.
I think you might enjoy the book. If it makes a difference, I'm not on a royalty, so I won't make a penny from anyone who buys it.
Now and again Scottish Guardian readers get mildly peeved about my amiable animadversions on their national traits. Though all the most powerful people in the country are either Scottish or, in the case of the prime minister, educated there, they seem to sense that they are under the jackboot of English oppression.
However, the people who write to me will be utterly outraged by John McBlain's diary, the satirical column that appears in the Belfast Sun. Jokily lamenting the replacement of Peter Mandelson by John Reid, he says that guests in Hillsborough Castle will no longer enjoy foccacio with a glass of pinot noir. "Instead they will gorge on deep-fat-fried Mars bars as they quaff their vodka and Irn Bru. Mr Reid will entertain his guests by donning a string vest and wrapping a 'durty' bandage 'roon his heid' before his party piece - an ecumenical rendition of The Sash."
I love cultural stereotyping, especially when I can't be blamed for it.
I 've just taken on work as a wine writer. Everyone else I meet swills the stuff round in their mouths and then spits it out. I can't do this. For one thing, it goes against nature. Secondly, you can't enjoy the taste if its mixed with the half pint of saliva that rushes into your mouth when you spit. The consequence is that I reel away from tastings - many held in the mornings - half pissed. This is going to be quite a problem, and it won't be solved with water biscuits either.

The factory engine uses a bypass valve to bleed off the excess boost during throttle transitions. The factory unit is made from composite plastic which can be fragile on modified engines or in warmer climate. The Boost Bypass Valve Upgrade is an upgraded bypass valve that is made from alloy and uses a piston instead of a diaphragm.
Fits the following Cooper S models with the N14 engine:
2007-2010 R56 Cooper S Hatchback
2008-2010 R55 Cooper S CLUBMAN
2009-2010 R57 Cooper S Convertible
The most common complaint on the OEM solenoid valve is a split diaphragm preventing the valve from opening fully, or not at all. This doesn't always result in a check engine light as the valve can still be blown open by the boost pressure. We have seen many valves with this problem. The other problem is that diaphragm retaining ring is made from very thin plastic that goes brittle with heat cycles, and eventually fails. This prevents the diaphragm from sealing with the same problems as mentioned above. This particular failure also results in the valve falling apart upon removal from the turbo, though in extreme cases bits of plastic can enter the turbo and destroy it. (see image below).
The alternative is a fully engineered solution offering both significantly improved reliability .Our valve is piston based , with no diaphragm to fail, and of all aluminium construction, it replaces the original unit with a pressure/vacuum operated piston valve that still also retains the desirable OEM ECU control over valve actuation. The valve has been proved on the VAG scene for many years. The spring is interchangeable for different levels of boost, and the solenoid is plug and play with the wiring harness which is included.
NOTE: Some states (like California) have ever tightening requirements for emissions testing and inspections. Always check your current state regulations on compliance for street use before you order.

Hi. I'm also a "lucky" owner of this USB card.
I'm in the way to start some tests with this HW. Unfortunately my work doesn't allow me a lot of spare time to do it as quick as I'd like. Anyway I had enough time to think about three different options:
1) I'll check with ndiswrapper and windows drivers
2) I'll try to compile drivers from http://www.ralinktech.com/supp-1.htm
3) And finally, if not lucky, because of the kernel version I'll wait to next release of backtrack and try drivers from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/
If successful, I'll let the community know my progress. Meanwhile if you want to contact me for something, just send to me a private message.

Turbo Unicorn | HS Tuning | 42DD | Cabin Krew
Can you guys recommend a brand or cut of jeans that would work for me? I blew out the crotch in my 501 STF's, and I didn't have very much flexibility in them. Stepping onto something decently high was a no go.
I shrunk 34x36's, I liked the way they shrunk but like i said I didn't have much mobility. I want to buy selvedge this time, but it seems like only skinny guys buy selvedge. So far I've considered:
Levi 501 selvedge
Naked and Famous WeirdGuy selvedge
Nudie Jeans Hank Rey
Nudie Jeans Average Joe
In case you want more info I'm about a 33x34, but I have an athletic build.
I bought a pair of these for $80 the other day. 14.5oz denim. construction seems to be pretty good.
I keep seeing you guys talk about soaking your denim jeans, do you dry them on just a hanger or throw them in the dryer? I really like the look that some of you guys are getting out of these
I hang dry mine
Quattro & RWD
APC New Standard seems to be the gateway drug for most.
My first pair was some Nudie Slim Jims. From ive got some Naked & Famous. I think I want to venture to Momotaro or Flathead next
Quattro & RWD
Oh not sure if you guys know about this site but its pretty great. Ive got at least 4 pair of Nudies from them. Super fast shipping and very competitive pricing. They have also added more brands
Quattro & RWD
Picked up a pair of Wings + Horns straight raw this morning, made from 13.5oz Cone Mills selvedge.
I've had my fav pair of jeans since I was 15, soph in high school..I'm now 24 and still rock em. They once had no holes and were stiff denim..now they're broken in and breezy
IG - dersbeboss
post nudes.
Thanks for stopping by
Any of you get the Converse Selvage? I picked up a pair for work because they were cheap and dont give a crap about them. Cut them into shorts and have been wearing them Mon-Fri. They are coming out nice for cheap denim.
Quattro & RWD
how heavy is that denim?
Nice work.
VILESTENCH - 19oz. goodness.
So forgive my ignorance here, but I only read a few pages of the beginning of this thread and had a few questions..
1. Any particular brands I should look for in a first pair of RAW?
2. Is sizing as issue between brands with some running smaller or larger than advertised?
3. I wear jeans almost daily, anything I would need to look out for as far as the dye rubbing off?
Thanks in advance all!

Remote MC filler
I have a TCI frame with the master cylinder (MC) set in the rails. I want to set up a remote filler for this MC. I already have a left over filler from another kit, but I don't have the plate for the MC. Could I use the same top from the MC and drill 2 holes and insert 2 barbed connectors to which I would connect the hose to the filler. There is a neoprene gasket that would require a hole so that the fluid goes into the cylinder. I'm wondering whether this would be leakproof if one were to do it this way. On the other hand, has anybody made a cover for one of these cylinders to use with a remote filler. I have no idea what type of MC TCI uses for their brake system and so cannot even begin to think of even ordering one from some supplier. Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Soaring raw material costs and an unprecedented number of supplier bankruptcies are challenging the automotive supply chain like never before. Auto maker purchasing departments have become pivotal to the success, and survival of both suppliers and the customers they serve.
Ward's 7-part series stems from interviews with the purchasing chiefs of GM, Honda, Chrysler, Nissan, Ford and Toyota. This is Part 1.
In the U.S. today, the potential for supply disruptions is high as major Tier 1 suppliers endure painful restructuring and labor unrest – some of it under the watchful eye of bankruptcy judges.
Despite the turmoil, purchasing executives for North America's top six auto makers tell Ward's they are confident suppliers will ship the parts necessary, despite internal reorganizations and the sale or closure of component facilities.
"Many of the suppliers who are going through restructuring, clearly they are managing a very well thought-out restructuring process, with their primary goal of securing the ongoing value at the entity they are managing," says Andrew Hinkly, executive director-Americas production purchasing operations for Ford Motor Co.
"To do that, they recognize that a continuous supply of products now – and the ability to fulfill their commitments on new-product development – is absolutely critical to coming out the other side of a restructuring as a viable entity," Hinkly says.
Like other auto makers, Ford has steady interaction with bankrupt suppliers and receives updates from the management of those companies. For the most part, that includes a pledge to maintain a steady flow of parts.
"Absolutely, there is that level of commitment from the well-organized, well-managed entities," Hinkly says, adding that occasional problems have surfaced.
"There are one or two, unfortunately, that perhaps the restructuring came up on them in a disorganized manner, and they have struggled to ensure supply," he says. "With those, we've managed to work through the issues, and we haven't experienced any supply disruptions as a result of supplier restructuring."
Chrysler Group says it seeks similar assurances from suppliers in bankruptcy. More than two dozen such filings have occurred among U.S. suppliers in recent years.
The point of bankruptcy court is to allow a company with excessive debt to maintain its operations while protecting it from creditors during the recovery period.
"There's a whole set of people who are involved in getting that assurance," including the judge and restructuring officer, says Peter Rosenfeld, Chrysler executive vice president-procurement and supply.
"Typically, suppliers will do everything they can in bankruptcy to ensure we have continued supply," he says. "One of the reasons why companies go into Chapter 11, as opposed to Chapter 7, is they want to prove to be a supplier that emerges as a going concern."
As Delphi Corp., the No.1 auto supplier in North America, prepares to close or sell 25 of its 33 U.S. plants and attempts to scrap its union contracts with hourly workers, General Motors Corp. admits to stockpiling several weeks' worth of parts in the event workers go on strike in protest.
The United Auto Workers union has been threatening a strike since Delphi's Oct. 8 bankruptcy filing, but negotiations toward an agreeable settlement, including employee buyouts, are continuing between the union, Delphi and former parent GM.
Rosenfeld admits Chrysler also stockpiles parts routinely as suppliers face impending expiration of particular labor contracts.
"We keep track of all those contracts. And as the date approaches, and we don't see a resolution, we begin a process of banking components," he says. "It's pretty well known, and suppliers know it is part of our requirements."
Whether or not a supplier is in Chapter 11, Rosenfeld says Chrysler attempts to "protect ourselves" when a supplier labor contract is unresolved. "It's easier in some cases than in others," he says. "It's a lot easier to bank fasteners than it is larger components."
But Chrysler is not banking components simply because suppliers are bankrupt. "We try to be very involved in the Chapter 11 workout process with our suppliers," Rosenfeld says. "We try not to run from suppliers (in bankruptcy). In fact, we try to be part of the support structure."
Beyond labor contracts, Rosenfeld admits there could be potential for supply disruptions as component producers downsize and sell off plants. But those sales do not occur overnight.
"Typically, there is a worked-out plan on how we will move forward," he says. "In almost every case, these suppliers want to continue to be suppliers to us. It behooves them to work with us and us with them. Why would they shut the lights off overnight and leave us hanging? It's not really in the concept of being a going concern."
Occasionally, supply-chain problems surface that have nothing to do with bankruptcy.
At an April town hall meeting of the Original Equipment Suppliers Assn., a crowd of about 600 people was flabbergasted by a comment from GM's purchasing chief, Bo Andersson.
A supplier in the audience asked how he should deal with a problem at GM if the matter has not been addressed by his primary contact within the auto maker. Andersson invited the supplier to bring the problem directly to him or to his senior management.
And if the problem still has not been resolved, Andersson told the crowd, the supplier would be justified to stop shipping parts. The nervous energy in a room full of GM suppliers was palpable.
In a recent interview with Ward's, Andersson stood by that statement, saying a supplier is justified to stop shipping parts – but only as a last resort.
"If you feel you need to use the lever to get attention, I think it is OK to use it," he says. "I don't recommend people do it as a first resort."
Asked if he could recall cases in the last two years in which suppliers have stopped shipment, Andersson says, "Not really." Since becoming head of global purchasing in December 2001, Andersson says GM never has missed a production day.
"Some days we have been very close," he admits.
GM suppliers are encouraged to put a deadline on resolution of a problem and not allow problems to fester.
"If there are issues open for a year, it cannot be that important to you," Andersson says. "Either you deal with it, or you say, 'I've done this now for six months. I would love to continue, but I cannot do it. You are forcing me to do something different. I give you two more weeks. After that, I cannot continue to deliver these parts at this price.'"
Too often, people are "way too sensitive too long, and then maybe they are too impatient in the end," Andersson says, adding problems that age usually are harder to solve. "If you catch it early, you can typically fix it much faster."
Andersson says he is not concerned that supplier restructuring will cause disruptions at GM. "We have situations where we get surprised," he says. "I can think of at least two companies…waking up very suddenly and needing to restructure. A month before, everything was fine."
Ford's Hinkly says there is no reason why a supplier should consider stopping parts shipment, and that any problem can be resolved without resorting to such tactics.
"I think if a supplier feels they have to stop shipping to a customer, then it's symptomatic of some deep-rooted issue," Hinkly says. "If an OEM customer feels that is their way to signal there is an issue, then I think, again, it is symptomatic of a deep-rooted issue."
Hinkly says Ford has not had to deal with any suppliers stopping shipment because of a dispute with the auto maker.
"We have an open-door policy both internally and externally," he says. "If suppliers feel they are not getting the resolution they need, there are many other approaches that need to be exhausted before we ever get into a situation where product isn't being shipped."
Hinkly is "absolutely convinced" Ford suppliers feel the same way. "The last thing they want to do is threaten production as a way of getting attention," he says. "It's not something we'd ever want to see in any of our relationships with our supply base."
Toyota Motor Engineering and Mfg. North America also says its suppliers in bankruptcy have provided assurances part shipments will not be disrupted.
"Most of my suppliers in Chapter 11, like Delphi, Collins & Aikman (Corp.) and Dana (Corp.), are doing a great job to ensure continued supply to Toyota," says Osamu "Simon" Nagata, vice president-purchasing.
"We appreciate these companies' efforts to secure our production," he says. "Dana has been doing a very good job to manage their Tier 2 suppliers and their equipment suppliers to avoid production disruptions."
Likewise, Nissan North America Inc. says there have been no plant shutdowns or disruptions to date, but the concern is valid.
"What scares me the most is the Tier 2 and 3 suppliers, because they are not as visible," says John Miller, vice president-purchasing. "Sometimes those problems are hidden until the last moment – then it hits you."
Nissan constantly monitors the overall health of its suppliers and is generally willing to assist those asking for help, Miller says.
"We have made duplicate tools when some things were not clear," he says. "Then the issue becomes the relationship. It's not always comfortable. The worst thing you can do is surprise us. Give me a fighting chance to help you do something about it."
In the end, the rash of bankruptcies could yield a pool of more stable suppliers. GM's Andersson already has praised Cadence Innovation (formerly Venture Industries) of Sterling Heights, MI, for emerging from the process a much stronger entity.
But Chrysler's Rosenfeld hesitates at the suggestion this newfound stability is tantamount to a silver lining in the bankruptcy process.
"I hate to call it a silver lining," he says. "Is a supplier in bankruptcy better than one that is not? No, because there are certain restrictions on the way we operate. There are all sorts of lawyers involved and financial consultants and creditors, and a whole bunch of other people involved in a relationship that should just be between a company and us."
Suppliers choose bankruptcy, Rosenfeld says, because they want to be healthier in the future.
"I'll leave it to you to decide if 'healthier in the future' means a silver lining," he says. "That's our law. It's supposed to make things better in the future."
