Just a Thought -- Zombie Fiction
Everywhere you look these days, zombies are rearing their decaying heads. From films like "Zombieland" to novels likePride and Prejudice and Zombies" to the website of the Centers for Disease Control, it seems that the zombie is our new favorite monster. But the ranks of the mindlessly hungry undead have not only invaded classic literature, they have also been joined by new brethren who think between nibbling on brains and are able to tell their own stories in their own words. The zombie fiction genre is expanding as new authors sink their teeth into the subject. For a few new and different takes on the shambling undead, try some of these titles!

The Trump Administration is taking unprecedented action to do away with our national monuments - putting tens of millions of acres of public land, YOUR land, at risk.
Don't let Trump destroy what took decades to protect. Donate Now.

With the 50th anniversary of The Wilderness Act looming, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell was asked to do the unthinkable.
From weird invasions of moose parasites to strange vandalism cases on our public lands, there was no shortage of drama in places that are otherwise known for their peace and tranquility. In case you missed them, we thought we'd share a few.

Little Big Town Break In 'The Breaker' At iHeartCountry Album Release Party
Little Big Town performed an intimate concert for a room full of "Happy People" during their iHeartCountry Album Release Party at the iHeartRadio Theater in New York City -- and we say that because the band performed their new The Breaker song TWICE at the crowd's wishes.
The country group, comprised of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet, celebrated their new album The Breaker (released on Feb. 24 via Capitol Nashville) with an intimate show for fans during their iHearCountry Album Release party, where they treated the room to first-time performances of songs from the record, as well as LBT favorites from previous albums.
This year is shaping up to be a big one for Little Big Town. The group announced their residency at Nashville's iconic Ryman Auditorium and dropped their Taylor Swift-penned single "Better Man." Now, the group is sharing their eighth studio album with fans. The Breaker follows Little Big Town's 2016 album Wanderlust, and features 12 new songs, including "Better Man." The song hit No. 1 on the US Hot Country Songs chart, No. 2 on the US Country Airplay chart, and No. 34 on the Billboard Hot 100.
During their iHeartCountry Album Release Party, Little Big Town played seven out of twelve new songs off of The Breaker, including their single "Better Man," "Night On Our Side," "We Went To The Beach," "Rollin'," "When Someone Stops Loving You," "Beat Up Bible," and "Happy People." And the fans loved "Happy People" so much that the band played the song again as their encore. The group says the track relates to what we are going through as a country today.
Of course, Little Big Town also performed some crowd favorites like "Girl Crush," "Boondocks," and "Pontoon" (which they closed with), among others.
Watch Little Big Town perform "Happy People," "We Went To The Beach," and "Beat Up Bible" below.

"Rollin'" (The Breaker)
"Tornado" (Tornado)
"When Someone Stops Loving You" (The Breaker)

During the show, hosted by Cody Alan, the band also answered some questions about their new record The Breaker, as well as talked about their residency at The Ryman, and the story of how Taylor Swift sent them "Better Man."
On the meaning behind the album title The Breaker
"It's a heartbreak song ['The Breaker'], but it's about being the one that breaks someone's heart, and being remorseful that you're the one that was 'The Breaker.' So it's just a really beautiful twist to that. And then, there's all kinds of connective themes through the record of being broken, being the breaker, breaking through to something new."
On what fans can expect from their Ryman Auditorium Residency
"It will be special every night. It'll be unique every time, and it's just such a special place. For us to get to share our music there, and play in that place, it almost holds all the past in itself, and you can feel it when you're there. And it sounds beautiful on the stage, and that room. It's a gorgeous place to play music."
Also, the first weekend of the residency, the band will be playing their The Breaker album in FULL, "top to bottom."
On how they received "Better Man" from Taylor Swift
"I [Philip] got the e-mail when we were in the process of making our album, and she's like 'you know, I've had this song for a little while and just wanted to see if you guys were interested in it. It was in an e-mail just like any other songwriter friend would send us. So I'm so glad I didn't delete it by accident!"

Can we get a Java forum up in here please? Thanks
There used to be a Java forum, but it was pruned along with a few other forums to make things less cluttered.
AFAIK, the criteria for pruning was to cull/combine low traffic forums into other forums.
I guess General Web Development & Application Design Issues would be the best fit. Including "Java" somewhere in the thread title should help.
And because no one used it
That's surprising to me as I believe it is one of the fastest growing office languages. Though security is an issue, that will eventually be fixed, its cross platform ability is exactly what the computer world needs.
It has surprised me for years. I've never quite understood why Java never caught on big or became more widely used. I know several companies that have considered switching to Java, only to go to .NET instead. But alas, it truly is a fact that not many forums get a lot of traffic in their Java forums.
I'm happy to keep an open mind if that appears to change.
I know that Java is huge in the Columbus OH area. Several very large and reputable companies are developing almost solely with Java.
Java is huge, and is used a lot at enterprise level and in academia. The reason we don't see a lot of it is because it's not exactly an attractive language to use for the web.
It's absolutely everywhere on the desktop, and a lot of universities make it their mission to churn out Java developers to join the work force (hence the term JavaSchools for these universities).
.NET definitely won out on the web. PHP is still the undisputed king of the web, but Microsoft and co have quietly built a top-quality framework and with MVC it's an absolute joy to use at times. Outside of perhaps Python (if I were better at it) I wouldn't swap C# for any other language.
Hello HAWK,
I add my voice to those who want to have the Java forum reinstated. I was before interested in PHP but recently have switched to Java. I know there are many people like me, and as long as the java forum is open the visitor number will grow steadily. Java is now attracting more attention thanks largely to mobile Apps development mainly done in Java.
I therefore would request the Sitepoint ADMINS to reinstate java again.
Well, Java is no doubt extremely valuable as a desktop programming language, with its ability to be distributed to multiple OS's with little work. I can understand why the forum did not catch on here as this is a web development community, but to rageh's point, I wonder if we could draw attention to the forum from the mobile development crowd?

A man is dead in a fire in Elyria
(Elyria) -- Police are investigating an apartment fire in the 300 block of East River Street, in which one person was found dead.
Firefighters were called to the blaze about 11:15 p.m. Monday. The fire was contained to one unit of the four unit building.
During a search of the building, firefighters found a 62-year-old man, dead in his bathroom. Elyria firefighters say the death is "suspicious". The Lorain County Coroner's Office is looking into the cause of death, and police are helping to determine a cause for the fire.
The victim's name is not being released at this time.
Elyria police say the other three units in the building are not inhabitable due to water and fire damage.

It was something quick that i fabricated in a day that could easily be removed and restored when we were on the highway. I know the safety/damage risks, please no flaming.
I did this bc I have a rooted EVO 4g, and I have free Wi-Fi tether, that will transmit 3G and sometimes 4G speeds in certain cities. I wanted to stream Netflix (Prison Break) on our road trip, and see how well the traveling EVO's Wifi would really be.
The wi-fi did okay, not as good as I thought it would. I had to refresh my the browzer in Netflix often because it would simply stop loading after awhile, totally random. 4G was spotty, so i found myself using a solid 3G speeds in cities with 4G, because the 3G had less breaks in coverage resulting in smoother playback. All in all it worked decent, but we had a REdbox DVD in the disk drive to switch back and forth when the Netflix was loading, which worked out quite well.
The trip definitely passed faster because of the EVO/Laptop/Netflix set-up.
All-in-all I think that trip with that mount is what got me into the mp3car scene, and is driving me to put a carputer in!

S.A. receives $25 million to improve access to medical military facilities
But S.A. loses out on federal fundingto improve Harry Wurzbach corridor.
Updated 10:35 pm, Tuesday, November 1, 2011
San Antonio was awarded $25 million in federal money for transportation improvements related to Joint Base San Antonio, but it missed out on funds it sought to improve the Harry Wurzbach corridor near Fort Sam Houston.
The money, distributed by the Defense Department's Office of Economic Adjustment, will fund construction of a flyover connector from southbound Interstate 35 to Loop 410, the Pentagon announced Tuesday. The ramp will speed access to Fort Sam Houston and the newly renamed San Antonio Military Medical Center.
Currently, traffic headed south on I-35 uses a left exit to switch to 410, which can cause congestion for motorists headed to the bases, said Mike Frisbie, director of the city's Capital Improvements Management Services division.
News Channel
The planned right-lane exit and flyover off I-35 "allows room and efficiency for those that are headed to the base," Frisbie said. "Those that are continuing straight south, they don't have to worry about this merging traffic trying to cross over to get to 410."
The Defense Department awarded nearly $300 million to four medical military sites affected by the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission, including SAMMC, formerly known as Brooke Army Medical Center. The money was earmarked to improve transportation to the facilities.
San Antonio had asked the department to fund three separate projects, including $68 million to improve the Wurzbach corridor, which the city had put at the top of its priority list for funding. Ranked third was $32 million to enhance the area around I-35 and Binz-Engleman Road.
The connector project was second on the city's wish list.
"We're grateful obviously for the $25 million toward the 35/410 connector," Frisbie said. "But yeah, it's a little disappointing because we were hopeful that we would get two projects."
Frisbie said the city will regroup and look for more funding opportunities for Wurzbach, also known as TAPS Memorial Boulevard. The city and the San Antonio Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization have already invested $10.1 million in the corridor.
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland received $88.9 million for five projects. Fort Belvoir in Virginia was awarded $180 million for a single project, and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, in Washington, won $5.7 million for a single project.
The OEA will distribute the money once the applicants provide additional materials, including comprehensive plans and environmental information related to the projects, said Lt. Col. Melinda F. Morgan with the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

Roseanne - from Syracuse, NY
Yes, you can put fondant accents on cakes iced with this whipped icing! Extremely deep colors (red, black esp.) might, however, bleed after several hours. Those might be better added at the last minute. Also, cakes iced in Wilton Whipped Icing can remain at room temperature safely for for 2-3 days, so there's no need to refrigerate the fondant accents!

Jay-Z May Not Meet Requirements To Be NFL Agent
There may be a snag is Jay-Z's plans to represent professional athletes as a sports agent. Just days after applying to become an MLB-certified agent, "SportsBusiness Journal" reports that the Roc Nation Sports founder also plans to submit paperwork to the NFL's Players Association to become an NFL-certified agent. However, Jay-Z's application could be denied because the rapper does not have a college degree. The NFLPA apparently requires agents to have not only an undergraduate degree, but also a postgraduate degree, neither of which Jay-Z has. The NFLPA does make exceptions for people without postgraduate degrees if they have at least seven years of "sufficient negotiating experience," but on the NFLPA website there are no listed exceptions for those who don't have an undergrad degree.
Even if Jay-Z's application to represent NFL players is turned down, he will still be able to get players endorsement deals and other off-field ventures. However, he will not be able to recruit players to Roc Nation Sports or its partner Creative Arts Agency.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on Wednesday he still has "serious differences" with President Barack Obama over how to resolve the year-end "fiscal cliff" as top Republicans vowed to stay in Washington until just before - and after - Christmas to reach a deal.
"I was born with a glass half full. I remain the most optimistic person in this town. But we've got some serious differences," Boehner told reporters at a news conference.
In recent days, Obama and Boehner have traded new proposals for replacing $600 billion in harsh tax hikes and spending cuts set to begin on January 1 - the "fiscal cliff." But neither side seemed interested in the swapped plans.
The apparent lack of progress led Boehner to advise his rank-and-file Republicans, during a meeting early on Wednesday, to plan to stay in Washington through Christmas and possibly New Year's.
"Keep your Christmas decorations up and make no plans" to leave Washington, was Boehner's advice, Republican Representative John Shimkus of Illinois told reporters.
Much of the dispute between Republicans and Democrats centers on the amount of new revenues that would have to be raised to help shrink annual budget deficits that have been hovering around $1 trillion.
Obama has proposed about $1.4 trillion in new revenues over 10 years, while Boehner has offered around $800 billion. In both cases it was unclear how that would be achieved specifically.
Boehner, asked about a telephone conversation he had on Tuesday with Obama, said: "The president and I had a deliberate call yesterday and we spoke honestly and openly about the differences that we face."
Boehner then said that Obama's revenue proposal "cannot pass the House or the Senate."
He noted that the last Republican budget, passed early this year, "had no new revenue," while Obama's had $1.6 trillion.
Given that he is now offering $800 billion in new revenue, Boehner said, 'We've been reasonable and responsible in our approach to this."
But so far, Boehner has refused to give in to Obama's main demand that there be income tax rate increases on the top groups, those with annual net incomes above $250,000.

ART02P583ZR: Red 3-in-1 Grater and Slicer
Art and Cook
"Say Cheese!"
You'll receive grateful smiles all around the table when using the Convertible Grater to shred, zest, and puree accent foods and spices directly onto plated dishes. The O2 Air Handle comfortably absorbs the shock that occurs with vigorous grating. You're provided with three different attachable blade heads, ranging from coarse to super-fine, each snapping quickly and easily to the base. When extra pressure needs to be applied, simply place the rubber-tipped end directly onto your work surface for slip-free shredding.
Nothing enhances a meal like freshly grated garnishes and spices. Now Art and Cook's 3-in-1 Grater and Slicer makes it easier than ever to add that perfect touch to any dish.
Choose from three interchangeable blades: one for coarse grinding; one for fine grinding; and one for slicing. They're each designed with a unique bidirectional cutting surface that grates or slices as you slide food in both directions. So you get great results in half the time. The blades are each made of superior grade 18/8 stainless steel. And they snap ever so easily in and out of the grater base.
The Air-gonomic 360 handle actually absorbs the vibration of grating as you work. It's light weight and sits comfortably and securely in your hand. Plus, a rubber tipped bumper on the bottom end of the grater allows you to place it on any surface, even find china, without slipping and without scratching the surface. The handle base's zinc-core construction provides incredible, light-weight durability and strength. And since everything is dishwasher safe, clean up's a cinch.
Failure is not an option. Great care and craftsmanship goes into making Art and Cook kitchen tools and serveware. Every one of their products is guaranteed for life.
- Ergonomic handle with air grip technology
- 3 interchangeable blades allow you to grate and slice to perfection
- Non-slip bumper on bottom of grater allows you to place it on any surface for more control while grating
- Satin zinc finish

The city of Goodyear remains front and center when it comes to being poised and prepared for the arrival of the F-35 Lightning II Fighter Jet pilot training program at Luke Air Force Base in early 2014.
But right now, members of the Luke West Valley Council – the regional group promoting the success of Luke and the economic vitality the F-35s are projected to bring to the region, are moving forward with Goodyear helping to steer more success for the future.
Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord was nominated and elected to be the incoming Co-Chair of the Luke West Valley Council during its quarterly meeting on Thursday, Dec. 19. Mayor Lord was thrilled to be elected to co-chair the group, along with Luke Air Force Base Brigadier General Michael Rothstein.
Mayor Lord succeeds El Mirage Mayor Lana Mook as co-chair to the council, which has more than 20 members.
"It's an honor to be nominated and elected by my peers to serve on the group that represents our region," Mayor Lord said. "Not only is the future of Luke Air Force Base vital to our city, but it is important to the region and state of Arizona and our country. Many people serving in the military or military-related jobs call Goodyear their home, and we're proud that we were part of the partnership that was able to help secure the F-35 Fighter Jet program at Luke through strong community support."
In her role as co-chair, Mayor Lord will lead the meetings and discussions in how to further the success of the base as it moves forward with expansion and other programs. Luke expects to see $260 million of construction over the next decade and other support businesses are expected to open with the arrival of the F-35A fighter pilot training program next year.
Luke West Valley formed in the 1980s to garner regional and community support for the importance of Luke's success in the region. The group is comprised of Luke AFB officials, elected officials from 12 West Valley cities and Maricopa County as well as representatives from the governing bodies of Sun City and Sun City West. The meetings are also often attended by West Valley legislators and outside organizations that support and partner with Luke Air Force Base.
The Air Force has credited the strong community support as a factor that led to Luke Air Force Base being awarded the F-35 Mission by the Department of Defense.

Katherine Heigl & Josh Kelley Adopt Baby #2
Posted Wednesday April 25, 2012 1:55 PM GMT
They've really taken a shine to parenting, and now Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have welcomed a second child into their family.
The former "Grey's Anatomy" actress and her rocker hubby, who adopted their daughter Naleigh from South Korea in 2009, are thrilled to add to their number, though there aren't any other details.
In a previous interview, Katherine explained, "My feeling about adoption is, Why not? There's nothing about it that makes it any less meaningful of a relationship in my mind."
"I don't think it's for everybody, and I don't think everybody should adopt. I'm not some crazy idealist. It's not about the cause for me. But I do think no one should ever rule it out."

By Julie Muhlstein Herald Columnist
It felt like her life had ended. In 1977, Marie Lawson got a phone call that brought the worst possible news. Her son, her only child, had been killed in a car accident.
Norman Ellis, Lawson's son, was 24. An Army veteran, he had survived the Vietnam War. He had moved from the Seattle area to Kentucky, where his mother was raised and still had family. Relatives helped him get a job there.
And then came that terrible call.
Although she was newly remarried, her grief was overwhelming.
"It was so devastating. I just wanted to die for a long time," said Lawson, 79, who lives in Marysville with her husband Wayne Lawson.
In June, she received other news that would change her life. This time, it was a letter. And it was a blessing.
The June 12 letter was signed by a man with a familiar name. The writer was the son of a friend Norman Ellis had known from his days at Seattle's Nathan Hale High School. "I am working on a project for a good friend in need. Sadly, he knows very little about his family," the letter said. It asked if Lawson is "the mother of Norman K. Ellis (1953-1977)."
"If I am correct about your connection, and you have no interest in knowing this family member — I completely understand," the letter said.
What family member? "We immediately thought there was a child someplace," Wayne Lawson said.
Marie Lawson had to find out, even as she and her husband wondered if they were victims of a scam. She called the letter writer, who lives in Oak Harbor, and said "I'm who you're looking for."
There are still unknowns in this complex tale, but Marie Lawson has no doubt about her new role — as a grandmother and great-grandmother.
The Lawsons have learned that more than two years before Norman was killed, a woman in the Seattle area was pregnant with his child. They don't have a clue whether he knew about the baby, or what his relationship with the mother was like.
"I always thought he told me just about everything, but it's almost impossible to fill in that gap," Marie Lawson said. She doesn't think her son would have left had he known about a child.
Steve Ellis was born in August 1974. "She did give Steve his legal name," Marie Lawson said. Before his death in 1977, Norman Ellis had married a young woman in Kentucky. He and his wife had no children, and she died last year.
Marie and Wayne Lawson recently met Steve Ellis, 38, who in pictures looks remarkably like his grandmother. In short order, they delighted in getting to know his daughter Hannah, 13.
"He looks more like me. Hannah looks like my son," Marie Lawson said. "We've met twice. Hannah melted right into the family."
Steve Ellis lives in Lynnwood. Marie Lawson said he had no objections to her sharing the story, but chose not to comment. Steve Ellis has told the Lawsons his mother wants no involvement with his new-found family. "I haven't talked with her," Marie Lawson said.
How they were brought together again is a little complicated.
It turns out that Steve Ellis' fiance's sister is married to the man who wrote the letter, the son of Norm Ellis' high school buddy.
"His fiance was trying to help him find his roots," said Marie Lawson, who is putting together an album with photos of her son so Steve can learn more about his father.
There are two sides, especially in matters of the heart. They may never know what happened in the 1970s between Norman Ellis and Steve's mother. "There are lots of questions we haven't asked," Marie Lawson said.
What's undeniable is her joy at having a grandson and a great-granddaughter.
"It's hard to explain what this did to my life," she said. Living far from loved ones in Kentucky, "I always felt alone after my son passed. This has brought a whole new happiness into my life."

Now, as I think many of you will agree that MW3 is a good game, and at very least lives up to the CoD moniker. There is very little that gets me genuinley frustrated with this game; to be honest there are only about five things. The first two are occasional irritations: Deathstreaks and Lag Compensation. Deathstreaks have no place in the game, and I have not met a single person who thinks they add to the game. Lag compensation does piss me off, but all in all having the best internet connection isin't mandatory like some previous CoD games (WaW springs to mind here). The next three are guns: The FMG9, MP7 and ACR 6.8. The FMG9's render every other secondary obsolete in my opinion, and the G18 is completley pointless as it is the FMG9 with more recoil and a smaller mag. The MP7 is only a problem because it has a five hit kill at range instead of six, and no recoil. They should have made it more like the Vector IMO. The ACR however, makes me lose my voice shouting at my screen. The gun is OP, and I will take no arguements. Its also INCREDIBLY overused, as shown in the video below. The vid is funny and I love the commentator (Pyrotoz) but just watch the killfeed. Its ridicolous.
The gun has no recoil, a four hit kill max, clean irons, good size mags, huge selection of attachments and a good RoF. It renders ALL of the AR's useless, except the Type 95 and MK14, but only because they aren't auto. IW, I BEG you to patch this gun. All it needs is a five hit kill at range and a slight increase in recoil.

SUMNER, WASHINGTON -- Our family is looking for a Honda Odyssey Touring Model. We check on Craigslist for the best Price for the model and year, mileage, etc. We talked to a salesman at Sumner Honda. He was very helpful but said he couldn't go lower on the price of $26,000. So we continued to look around for a better deal. We noticed a few days later that they posted a lower price on Craigslist at $23,777. We saved the ad to our computer and forwarded it to our finance broker.
We called up the salesman at Sumner Honda and he said it sounded a bit weird but would check it out and get back to us. He called us back and said that it must have been a mistake and said that his Used car sales manager talked to the owner and said that they will honor the price. We called back with our credit card number to the Used car sales manager, who wanted a $1000 deposit. We told him that we will drive down to test drive it and approve the deal based on our visual inspection. He agreed to show it to us and we proceeded to drive 3-1/2 hours from Vancouver, B. C., Canada.
We arrived at approx.10:30 am on Sunday, Valentine's Day. How romantic. So we meet the Used sales manager and another Canadian friendly sales representative. They both showed us the van and we all discovered that it wasn't even detailed as they said it would be. The Used car sales manager was very sad that it wasn't very good to show. He promised that it would be cleaned if we took it. We proceeded to take it out for a spin. It had high speed shimmy and they said that the brakes may need to be turned. No biggie, wait it gets better... We say that if you can fix it up and honor the discussed price, we'll take it.
The deal should proceed to sending our broker the bill of sale and title. But they never fax it. Two to Three days pass... They say that it's coming soon. Finally after speaking to the Finance Manager he says: "The deal's not going to happen!" In shock I ask, "by who?" He says, "the Sales manager." Well I'm now a fair bit upset and call back and speak to him. He says, "The deal's not happening. It was a mistake and we are not doing it. Forget about it. Oh, and we aren't dealing with Canadians."
I told him that he is a bigot and should not be discriminating towards anyone. Money is money and nobody told us that they didn't want to deal with us because we are Canadian. That is a joke. This sales manager, I find out is only 2 weeks on the job and this is the way he treats customers. Absolute horrible service. I said that I want to talk to the owner, and he said the owner will not speak to anyone he doesn't want to. I said you are a brand new Honda Dealership and under the watchful eyes of Honda so they should know about this, and I plan on telling the media (JESSE JONES).
People, customers, Canadians, should not have to be treated like this by a Sales manager, who should be upholding the company's INTEGRITY. Stand by their mistake and settle the deal in a professional manner. The staff involved have since been instructed to not speak about this situation for fear of a lawsuit. Or losing their jobs? Who knows? Anyway, I think that this is wrong and the public should know about it.
MESA, ARIZONA -- Several months ago I tried to tell my service advisor that there was something wrong with my car. I told them the transmission didn't feel right and that it wasn't driving correctly. It would shake and vibrate. I was told on each occasion something different. It's the alignment, you need new tires, blah, blah, blah. I had been telling all of this to one of my patients, who is a master mechanic with a different dealership.
He finally took a quick look under the hood while in the office one day and said it looked like the transmission is leaking. He also recommended, based on everything I had told him, (the same things I told the dealership) that I should have the control arms and motor mounts checked. On the 18th of February I took the car in and told them what my parent said and wouldn't you know it all of a sudden I was taken seriously. They found approximately 3 oil leaks, and the control arm bushing to the rear tires didn't work. On the repair order the word they used was "broken".
They said they couldn't do the repair that day because they didn't have a mechanic there that was capable of fixing it and scheduled an appointment for me. The earliest they would give me was Wednesday February 22nd even though I requested Monday. I questioned my service advisor, ** if the vehicle was safe to drive under these conditions, he assured me that it was.
I took the vehicle in on the 22nd, tried to pick it up on the 24th. Drove it off the lot and was maybe 2 miles from the dealership when I started to smell something burning. I look in my rear view mirror and saw nothing but smoke. So much that I could barely make out a vehicle behind me. Which turned out to be a police officer. He pulled alongside me and motion me to pull over. By this time smoke was pouring out of the front of the vehicle. I cannot begin to describe how frightened I was. I pulled into a parking lot. Immediately jumped out and called the dealership.
I was put on hold for several minutes then transferred to several different people. Finally ** asked me to drive the vehicle right back. I told him if he thought I was going to get back into car that for all I know is flaming under the hood, he was crazy. Well I was put on hold again!! By this time I was sobbing and terrified so I hung up and called back, this time reaching ** who thank God had enough sense to tell me not to drive the car whatsoever and that she would send a tow truck out.
After getting back to the dealership and after they looked at the car again, I was told that it was a new problem. An O ring was old and cracked and that's why the oil poured out hitting the heat shield and caused the smoke. The service manager ** blew it off and said "it's no big deal" told maybe for him it wasn't but for me. It was terrifying since I thought the car was on fire.
Well went back to the dealership last night (February 27th) and tried to pick up the car again. I asked for the paperwork for the new work and was told by the service manager ** that there is no paperwork, he wasn't going to do any on it. The lady pulls the vehicle around and I notice a piece of plastic hanging down underneath the front passenger side. I asked her "what the hell is that?" She tries to tell me it's a plastic bag that probably flew up under the car and got stuck. Told her "I don't think so" and that I would not take the vehicle back in that condition. So back into the shop it goes.
By this point I started asking for Mr ** the owner, but of course he was too busy to deal with the "little people". So instead I get the general manager **. I tell him everything that has happened. I asked him for the paperwork and he tries to give me the same report for the original repairs from the 22nd. Told him no I want paperwork for the NEW problem. He goes to speak with ** so the car is returned AGAIN. I go to put my things in the back seat and I find a big piece of plastic that obviously belongs to my vehicle. I take it out and ask ** if he maybe wanted someone to put it back on my car. Back the car goes.
Meanwhile ** is trying to tell me some story about how he can't get me the new paperwork because it was so late in the day and they couldn't close the ticket out so they couldn't print anything. Umm wrong, the service Manager ** told me he wasn't going to do any paperwork on the O ring situation and he said it in front of the cashiers when I was trying to get the car back. He then said he would fax it to me later.
After being there for maybe a couple of hours I got the car back. Needless to say I lost time from work, they aggravated me beyond belief and then they tried to put me in jeopardy by asking me to drive the car back. Ibette Mesa, AZ.
JAPAN -- We bought a HONDA CRV on December 21, 2009, Jakarta, Indonesia. I called Honda on January 4, 2011 and I had spoken with our sales Rep. regarding a technical error in the armrest located in the driver's door and this error is in the manufacturing. The sales representative is very helpful and she asked me to send the vehicle to be checked by the claiming department.
On January 5, 2011 I sent the vehicle and was checked by the head of the Claim Department. The report was a such problem it is due of using the vehicle, while when I noticed a such matter after we bought the vehicle I thought maybe the driver door designed to be this way. But recently I had an opportunity to be in CRV vehicle belong it to a friend and I noticed the different, therefore I called the dealer.
The head of the Claim Department advised me through the sales representative to fix the vehicle door by specialist but HONDA cannot do it and not responsible about it. In his comment that he doesn't where the upholstery leather seats and doors was done and how it was done. I politely inquired to talk to the head of The Claim Department in order to discus in what he claimed and express my right according to them.
The sales representative promised me that I will get a call before 3:00 pm which it is never happened, this is rude from someone don't know anything about his job. I have been a Japanese cars customer from many years, in my house BRAND NEW MODEL 2010 THREE JAPANESE CARS ALPHARD, CRV AND YARIS. I can't imagine having to put up with this kind of service for even one more month.
It is amazing how it only takes one person to change someone mind In this economy where so many people are struggling, companies should be struggling to work hard to simply keep their customers, let alone keep them happy. I will start looking into Toyota now. I can't imagine their service could be any worse. The Claim Department for Honda is awful. They are all rude and don't know anything about their jobs and not professional.
The Claim Department did not even intent to talk to me which his pay check from us the customers. I will tell you what if they keep treating people like they do they won't have any more customers. I love my car but I will never, ever buy another Honda in my life. Simply because I don't have to deal with these people. This Claim Department for Honda without even bothering to talk to me he ask me through the sales representative to find other place to fix the armrest. What a professional Manager.
They do not know how to talk to people with any couth or class. They say and threaten the most ridiculous and rude things. We fully qualify under the Law for the Warranty. I am well aware that my specific problem will affect a minority of people out there, but nonetheless the customer service I received from Honda was completely unacceptable.
I am willing and ready to publish a poor and unprofessional service in the Newspapers which it is not hard thing to do. I am willing to fight for my right and take my case to a third party no matter what and whatever it will take. I have been shopping for a Car very seriously for buying a new one and after I saw the attitude of the sales representative, we decided to buy this HONDA CRV but never to buy another Japanese car ever again.
I need resolution. I want the cause corrected. I deserve better. Honda has no after sales service. In after sales Honda department, hopefully changes can be made and better communication can occur between the customer and the employee. As stated above, names as of this point are irrelevant. I am not happy and very mad from such service.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- I took my Honda to the Honda dealer on 2722 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn, New York, 11210. I told the service man that my Honda engine light is on and it has a slow pick up from 20 to 30 mph. My complaint is that they charged me about $900.00 for services not done. Then after charging me $900.00, they then said the problem with my engine light is the Alternator? And wanted to charge me another $600.00. Now my question is why I wasn't charged $600.00 first when the problem was found?
The mechanic changed all my wires and distributor assy. And stuff and the problem was the alternator. I am not happy with this service at this dealership. I gave the dealer $900.00 to fix my car and it is not fixed. I want my engine light fix and if this Honda dealer couldn't or couldn't find the problem, then they should have said so and let me find some street mechanic who could.
I was giving a Honda Service News Troubleshooting TPMS paper. After he wasn't intelligent enough at first to find the problem. Enclosed is the paper work. I sent a first letter on 8-4-09 - a copy is enclosed. I took my Honda back to the same dealer because the mechanic disconnected my radio. And when I drove away I was so angry that I didn't take the car back I just went home. Also note I had a tune up about a Year ago.
About two weeks later the Honda dealer called and asked me what problems I had with this dealer service. My Husband got on the phone who is also a 2007 Honda owner. He explained to dealer the problem. After the dealer made so many excuses about why my car isn't fixed, he said to bring the Honda 2000 back to the dealer to put the radio back on. Now remember the Mechanic, ** when he first worked on my car. He called me and asked me if he could disconnect my radio to work on the car. I told him yes. Now my car is returned to me again without my radio working.
My Complaint with the service of this Dealership is, brought to fix engine light on - charged me $900.00 - light is still on. Dealer wants to change alternator - price $600.00 - says it might fix light. Dealer broke radio - brought back to repair -3 excuses why is not fixed. Dealer took advantaged of my wife cause she is a Woman.
Gentlemen, you know what the problems are and I do not need to elaborate. As I picked up my 2000 Honda the service man told to go to another dealer. If this how Honda does business to loyal customers, all I can say is you have lost this customer. This dealer has charged me $900.00 to fix nothing and broke my radio. 10-5-09 dealer calls to tell me to go to another dealer and my car is too old.
LAWTON, OKLAHOMA -- I am well aware that my specific problem will affect a minority of people out there, but nonetheless the customer service I received from Honda was completely unacceptable. I purchased a civic in Germany through the military and brought it to America. And here are the series of events as they unfold: Car arrives, a/c doesn't work. It needs freon right? Well... car is at random auto repair shop. Mechanic says your wires have been eaten by salt, we need to replace them. Wires are replaced. Mechanic says faulty wires overheated computer, computer must be replaced.
Well no one but Honda can put a new computer in a Honda car. So I take the car to Honda. Honda mechanic says computer will be fixed in 3 days. He's helpful, courteous, I think all is well. And this is where it all went wrong... Side note - I'm still confused, so I may mangle some Honda-rific terms. The dealer needs a "mobilizer code" in order to start this new computer. But because the car was bought in Germany, even though it's an American car, it is not entered into the "American Honda warranty database", which apparently was the dealers responsibility.
Fair enough their bad. Now it's up to me to fax my proof of ownership and blah blah to "American Honda". I promptly fax paperwork, call to confirm receipt. Yeah they don't confirm receipt at American Honda. Next day, I call to confirm receipt of fax. Oh they do confirm receipt! This new person I was randomly transferred to seems less lazy, a tad more helpful. Now that they have the paperwork it will take 3 to 5 business days to enter the information into their computer.
What?! Say that again!? I seriously must have heard new helpful customer service rep wrong. But no, she who I'll now call robot, repeats off her screen that 3 to 5 days for simple data entry is the norm at "American Honda". From what I can see there are three issues with this process. First of all, my car is 5 yrs old and no longer under warranty, so what difference does it make if it's in the "American Honda warranty database"? I'll be paying 600 for this new computer on top of all the frustration.
Second, they say this mobilizer code is a security issue. Well they're successful in keeping my car secure from myself. Who tries to illegally install a computer in a car anyway? Wouldn't you just go steal another car? Basically it's a code that makes sure Honda has a monopoly on computer installation. Need a new computer in your car? No one but Honda can do it.
Third, and most important, it should not take anyone or any computer on earth 5 days to enter data into anything. And if you call Honda they won't even let you speak to the warranty department! All you get is customer service robots who read "3 to 5 days ma'am" off their computer screen and repeat it to the point you want to smack them through the phone. We just bought a Mazda. I have no idea of Mazda's customer service department is as ridiculous, but I do know I will never be buying a Honda again.
BAY AREA, CALIFORNIA -- I have been shopping for a Car very seriously for buying a new one and after I saw the attitude of the sales people, I decided never to buy another Japanese car ever again. I walk in to Autowest Honda and we wait for half hour to get hold of somebody and then some sales guys shows up who has no interest whatsoever and ask us what we want to go for. We were looking for Honda Fit & Honda Pilot.
First the guy makes us wait for another 20 minutes and comes back and says he could not find the key to test drive Honda Fit and then we ask about Honda Pilot and he walks over to Pilot and says we do not have Gas and we can only see the Car. What kind of messed up dealership is this? Before this I gave my Car for service for a driver window not rolling up. They fix it but they have broken internal structure to get to the glass and they did not even mention it and when I showed it he coolly says "Oh, sorry since it's a little older car we don't have parts and we thought you might just be fine with it."
Dublin Honda: I walk in to buy a car and the very mention of hybrid, the sales guys tells me with an attitude don't bother to show up for another 3 months and then he says the markup is $5000 over MSRP and just don't even think of buying one if you were not planning on getting that much money. Then I ask about Honda fit to test drive which is a gasoline car.
He then says I cannot test drive until I buy it and that car has $3000 markup over the MSRP. I got so pissed being a Honda customer from before I just flatly told him on his face that I would rather buy an American Car any day than deal with this kind of attitude.
I heard so much from other people about this but it was hard for me believe being an Honda owner but after going through this personally, I have decided to clearly buy an American car than a Japanese Car. The exact same thing applies to Toyota dealers as well because we saw the same attitude from Toyota but they were much better than Honda and at least answered our questions and allowed us to test drive but when it comes to numbers the attitude was don't waste our time even when I have mentioned I will doing a complete cash down in all these places.
I can go on about others also within Bay Area but it's a waste of time on my part. As a consumer I really would like to ask the folks who are buying with a $5000 & $3000 markup on all these cars, HAVE YOU GONE OUT OF YOUR MIND!! We call this recession time! Give me a break! You have just filled their arrogant fat bellies with more attitude to treat customer like dirt! Wake up People!
I recently purchased an 2002 Acura TL. I'm having trouble with the transmission shifting from second to third gear. When it shifts, the rpms race unchecked until it grabs a gear creating a very dangerous situation. I found that there had been a recall specifically dealing with the overheating of the second gear due to the lubrication system.
Upon researching more about the car, I found that the transmission had been replaced July 31, 2003 by Acura upon request of the original owner, nine months before the recall had taken place. When I spoke with my service advisor at Mile High Acura, he told me that since it had already had a new transmission put in it that they would not replacing a second. At this point I was under the impression that the second gear inspection had already taken place. He told me that he had to talk with Acura corporate to see what they could do for me.
Two days later I called to find out the status and findings of corporate. My service advisor told me that they needed to take pictures of the second gear for signs of scorching and discoloration. This was seven days after I had the vehicle dropped off at the dealership. They would not tell me whether or not the recall parts had indeed been installed on the vehicle at the time the transmission was replaced. They only told me that there were no signs of overheating and that they would not be doing any recall work on the vehicle.
Instead they quoted me $3940.00 to replace the transmission. I feel like they are scamming me simply because they had put a new transmission in. I have only to assume that since it was done 9 months before the recall that they did not replace the necessary parts. I will be taking it to a private transmission shop and having them document the work done, and if I find any evidence to the contrary, I will be taking them to small claims court and making them pay for not only the transmission work, but the loss of work time, rental car costs paid by me, towing costs, and lawyer costs.
So just beware that Acura will do anything to reduce their liability for their faulty product. This recall also affected various other models of Honda Accords, Odysseys. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY HONDA OR ACURA VEHICLES. I personally will never buy another Honda/Acura product.
ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA -- Honda products may perform well but their workers in customer service and collections do not have a clue. If you call, plan to spend an hour or more waiting for a representative to provide an answer on their terms and policies. The company also does not have anything in place to assist with the current economic status. They have a policy where a payment or 2 (2 is the max) can be pushed to the end of the contract but all late and additional fees must be paid in full.
Also, it requires manager approval so no one has any authority to make a clear decision and you wait while your account stays delinquent. I later found out whatever the reps type or enter into the system is valid or "the gospel" so to speak. Lastly, you can never find the same representative which means they have a high turnover rate of employees (or so a representative told me). There is no communication between the dealership and customer service/collections.
Documentation for my brand new car had never been entered into the system, but it was my fault, I was a first payment default-WTF??? Only 1 representative had the guts to tell me there was a new phone system and why I received 5-7 calls per day. The other representatives were lying as to why I received several calls after I had already spoke w/ someone or they would hang up on me.
Honda may have cars that work well but the business side has unprofessional and rude representatives. The company should heavily reconsider contracting a reputable company to handle customer service/collections and all areas of business. Honda never, ever has to worry or pursue me to purchase another vehicle, because I would not. Even if they paid me, I will never purchase a Honda again.
ARIZONA -- I bought a Honda Element 2007 in July 2007. Since the purchase I have learned that the front seats do not adjust as in previous models. However, both the Quick Start Manual and the regular manual both indicate visually and in writing that the front seats should adjust forward at about a 10 degree angle for access to the back seat. "Open the door, and pull up on the seat-back adjustment lever. The seat-back tilts forward to allow easier access to the rear seat." The picture also shows this tilt angle.
I took the car to a dealership. They did not know about this design change; they also did not know that the same change is on the 2008 model. I talked with Honda about this design flaw as a safety issue. Without the ability to tilt the seat forward both entry and exit from the back seats are restricted even when a front seat is moved forward as far as it will go.
Honda's response was that they knew people who have the car and they aren't having any problems getting in or out of the back seat and that I should just move the front seats back and forth to use the back seats. In case of an emergency, exiting the back seat would be difficult at best and a danger to their safety and well-being.
Honda's response is that the design is written in stone and that unless enough complaints and problems with emergency exits are made that nothing will be done. Their opinion is that the car is safe and has been fully approved by the NTSB and NHTS. I would defy anyone to enter and exit the back seat with any speed because of this change in design.
I hope this will be investigated and that Honda will be forced to redesign and recall the models that no longer allow the front seat to tilt for as they say "easier access to the rear seat" and I would add easy, quick exit from the back seat in an emergency.
WEST CALDWELL, NEW JERSEY -- I purchased a new Honda S2000 convertible at Honda of Essex in West Caldwell, New Jersey two weeks ago. By the time I got through finance, etc., and took delivery of the car it was almost 10:00 at night, and I didn't get a chance to take a good look at the car. One clue might have been that it was in detail for an unusually long period of time before they gave it to me.
Over the next couple of days while admiring my new car, I noticed a number of chips in the paint, and a number of cloudy areas. Most of the problem exists on the hood and passenger side fender. I brought the car back to Honda of Essex and brought my concern to the attention of one of the sales managers. He asked one of his detail guys to look at the car.
The detail guy looked it over and made a few attempts to cover some of the chips and fish-eyes in the paint. At some point he said there wasn't much more he could do. I was not convinced that more couldn't be done, but I figured he was just trying to blow me off as he received a phone call from his wife and told me he was late for dinner. I figured I would wash the car myself and have it detailed by a professional, and perhaps this would resolve the issue.
I had a body man look at the car. He told me the paint was defective in a number of places; that the dealer attempted to buff out some of the damage; and that the only way to fix the paint would be to repaint the car. He refused to touch the car.
Now I have contacted Honda directly and I am told that a case manager will be in touch with me within two days. If they don't resolve this properly, I will take further action against the dealer and Honda directly, if necessary. I will also make as many public complaints and statements as possible so that people will know that this dealer is not honorable, and if not resolved, neither is Honda of America.
9/12/07: A case manager from Honda contacted me and recommended I make an appointment with the service department at the dealer, which I did. The service manager looked at the car, and recommended the car be compounded to see if the imperfections in the paint can be buffed out. He said they would also apply touch-up paint to the chipped areas. After that, if I'm still not happy with the paint, he said a representative from Honda would inspect the car and make a further determination. At least they are taking some action. I'll keep everyone posted.

By Matthew L. SkinnerIn Matthew's Gospel, the story of Jesus walking on water morphs into a story of Peter walking on, then sinking into, the same water. It begins as a statement about Jesus' authority; for Jesus' contemporaries had learned from scripture that such mastery over the waters is God's accomplishment. When Peter tells Jesus to call him, too, onto the lake, the story transitions into an illustration of what it looks like when people express faith in Jesus. … [Read more...]

Here ya go!
Ex and I divorced 3 years ago and I got remarried 2 years ago. We had joint custody of our 3 kids, but I then moved out of the county for my DH's job. Ex has the kids 70% of the time. We were civil during our divorce and never had a custody agreement put into place. 6 months ago ex took me to mediation and court to have something legal on the books.
Now, this may sound wrong of me, but I am going to be honest. While we were married, I worked as a nurse and made an ok living and I always hated working. Ex owns his own business and makes triple (if not more) than I did. My new DH (dear husband) comes from a wealthy family with a popular nationwide family business that he works for, and we made the decision for me to be a stay at home mom when we got married. We don't have any kids together, but he does have 2 kids that are in high school from his previous marriage. So between his 2 and my 3, kids are here almost every weekend, and some nights for dinner. My attorney told me that I can file for child support because I don't work anymore, and the courts would likely make him pay me for when the kids are here on the weekends and holidays. I didn't know that the non custodial parent could file for support, or I would have done it long ago. My attorney says its for living standards here.
My DH (dear husband) doesn't want me to because we don't "need" the money and he is against it completely. I think he's too proud. Now that I don't have money of my own, it would be nice to have my "own" income that I can spend. DH (dear husband) does pay a pretty penny in support to his ex and if I file for support from EX, it would supplement it, but he's still against it and doesn't want to "spend another man's money." Stupid pride!
Debate is: Would you go against your husband's desires for child support from your ex? Should I even file?

What's Behind Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's Latest Reunion?
Photo: Selena Gomez/Instagram
By Kathleen Perricone
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez got back together for what seems like the billionth time over the weekend.
E! News' Ken Baker called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Monday morning to explain it's actually the sixth time the two have reunited (in 2014 alone!) and gave us a little insight into what is going on with them.
"As of a week ago, they were totally toast," says the gossip guru. "She was flirting with guys over in Europe and he was hitting on models. Now all of a sudden, it looks like they're back on. At this point, I don't know about you guys, but once you get to like the sixth time in seven, eight months, you're officially whackadoodle. You might as well as go to couples' therapy and figure out what the heck is going on … I just want them to pick one or the other."
Last week, before Justin posted a photo of Selena kissing him on the cheek, the two were spotted at a church service in Los Angeles.
"That sounds really good," says Ken, "but then, like, a week later, he'll be hitting on models on Instagram and Selena will be posting these very depressed things on Twitter, like 'You can't trust everybody.' Ok, guys, we need you to work it out. They're not kids anymore."

- Flex: Flexy
6 Ply Board
Denotes 6 plies of Canadian Maple – flexier than most, we only make boards this thin when we're supporting the wood with X-Flex.
We use 100% Canadian Maple for all of our decks, some higher-end decks feature more advanced materials too. Maple is shipped as a raw log and cut into veneers at the woodshop to ensure consistent humidity.
We use Latex and Epoxy glues, depending on the construction needs.
All our decks are individually pressed in Hydraulic presses. We don't hot press (which is faster to produce but more prone to warping), and we don't stack multiple boards in a press (which leads to inconsistent concaves and profiles throughout a run of boards).
Epoxy glues are used in decks with X-Flex and 4X Composite constructions. Each veneer is soaked through with a waterproof epoxy, allowing use of composite layers in with the maple. The Epoxy also adds strength to the natural fibres in the wood grain, essentially turning the whole deck into a multi-layer composite layup. We do sometimes used Epoxy without the glass layers too, to take advantage of the better flex and impact resistance properties this glue gives us.Boards are cut and finished with a mixture of CNC routers and good old hand sanding.
We use heat transfers to keep the graphic fresh and multiple layers of laquer to keep the weather out.

My Vikes signed him today....what does Bengal nation think of him?
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
1 good year, injured most of the time after. Never really developed much.
Would have liked to keep him, but $33 million is a lot of money to invest into an injury risk.
Word is Justin Smith is talking to the Vikes as well.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
He likes to dance after he makes a play. There was a game last season when they were down to the Cards by two scores and he broke up a pass and came up dancing.
He is a good talent who showed signs of a complete game but never put it together. He has trouble covering a TE over the middle as well. I didn't like to see him go but for the Vikings are crazy for the contract they gave him.
He will improve playing behind the Vikings front 7.

GSA Assists in Coordinated Effort To Transform White House Press Briefing Room
July 17, 2007
Contact: GSA Public Affairs, (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The recent transformation of an historic and world-famous media briefing room into a sleek, high-tech facility involved a coordinated effort by the White House, the U.S. General Services Administration and the White House Correspondents Association.
Renovation of the White House press briefing room, unveiled by President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush during a ribbon-cutting ceremony July 11, began in August 2006 when the White House press corps was moved to a specially outfitted facility across the street in the White House Conference Center on Jackson Place. The temporary facility was built to replicate the layout in the West Wing, complete with the offices for White House staff, the networks and radio stations, the workstations for the print media and the actual Press Briefing room itself. Eleven months later, the work in the West Wing was completed, and the press corps was moved back to the new state-of-the-art facility. This endeavor was completed with oversight provided by GSA's National Capital Region.
Administrator Doan said that the current renovation of the press room resulted from close collaboration and cooperation among several government entities. The Executive Office of the President, the White House Communications Agency, the U.S. Secret Service, and GSA all participated. The upgrade was top-to-bottom, creating a modern, high-tech facility with environmentally-friendly lighting and new briefing room chairs, complete with Internet, phone and power connections. The press room also now has a sophisticated audio system with new microphones mounted in the ceiling, all of which will aid in the presentation of the President's or the press secretary's information during briefings. A new backdrop was developed, complete with two rotating flat television screens and moving panels, allowing a wide range of flexibility for the type of briefing desired.
"GSA was pleased to participate in this important joint venture," said GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. "In fact, this work extends a rich tradition between GSA and the White House that dates back to GSA's very first days".
Administrator Doan was referring to the first job awaiting inaugural GSA Administrator Jess Larson in 1949 -- renovation of a White House in such serious disrepair, one inspector of the time said the historic structure was standing "purely from habit."
Mr. Larson would later recount, "In order to make the White House structurally sound, it was necessary to completely dismantle, and I mean completely dismantle, everything from the White House except the four walls, which were constructed of stone. Everything, except the four walls without a roof, was finally stripped down, and that's where the work started."
Mr. Larson said that GSA's predecessor, the old Federal Works Agency, Public Buildings Administration, was well aware of the problem. "Several incidents happened where large chunks of plaster fell off," he said. "The floors sagged; pipes bent under the shifting, causing leaks; and many other flaws wrought by age and previous renovations came to light."
Working closely with President Truman and First Lady Bess Truman, Mr. Larson and GSA went to work. Weekly breakfast meetings took place to ensure Truman – GSA's very important first customer at the time – was satisfied. Truman took an active role, often deciding the placement of power outlets, new walls, and architectural effects. When work was completed in 1952, the White House not only had air-conditioning and a complete facelift.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 205,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Design Excellence Program is based on the "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture" established 45 years ago by President John F. Kennedy.
