7 Series - E65 / E66 (2002 - 2008)
Discussion of BMW's 4th generation E65/E66 7 Series flagship. The E65 generated much controversy, due to its radical styling and iDrive user difficulties. Nonetheless, the E65 broke records to become the best-selling 7-series iteration ever, especially after its 2005 facelift.

Had Century BMW in Greenville, SC do a full work up on this 760i. Here are the results:
1. HPFP failure on bank 1. HPFP on bank 2 appears to be okay. Service advisor says it will fail as soon as the bank 1 is replaced. Nice to know. $4,061, parts and labor.
2. Alternator bracket leaking oil. $50 for the part. 11.5 hours labor. $1,390, parts and labor.
3. Safety terminal needs to be replaced. Recall that I had an airbag fault indicator come on. $174.98 for the part. $530 labor for 2.5 hours labor.
4. Valve cover gaskets leaking. $2,050 for the parts. 15.5 hours labor. $2,475, parts and labor.
I asked the deal in Houston, Texastrucksource dab Autobyzack, to cover the costs of the alternator bracket and the safety terminal. Dealer refuses to provide reimbursement.
Recall, I purchased this car with 85,843 miles on 29 October. Car was shipped on 5 November and arrived on 7 November. First contact with the dealer that the car was stalling was on 8 November. Car now has 86,061 miles and is sitting at the Century BMW service center. I think I am being more than reasonably fair to just ask for the Alternator bracket and safety terminal repairs.
If you get the work done at your expense, demand to get the faulty fuel pumps back.
If they ask why, tell them you will be posting pics on the BMW blogs. Who knows, the
threat of bad press might just get your pumps covered or replaced at a discount!
At any rate, if I were shelling out that kind of money, I'd want to see exactly what failed,
why it failed and what I could do to prevent it from happening again.
So let me get this straight, dealer said they would take care of it and not to worry, and now low and behold they are refusing to pay? I would call them and tell them if they are going to stick you with thousands of dollars worth of problems on a car that you bought from them WITH those problems, which started as soon as it came off the truck, you are not only going to fight them for whats right, but you are going to plaster all over the place what this company did to you by selling you a broken vehicle and then telling you they would take care of it, and once you bring the car in to get the work done they tell you they aren't going to do a thing now.. that is as bad as business gets in my book..
When you buy a car from a dealer, it's supposed to be checked and inspected, certainly not stalling and running like crap. Seems like this place got very excited when they saw you.. Got rid of their problem car on a flat bed truck so you are a long distance problem now..
Both new760Liowner cmpcpro make good points. To cmpcpro I say to you that I have pointed out to the dealer they represented the vehicle as serviced and tested. As you would expect them to say, they were "surprised" by the problems I have had since they had been driving the car and had not experienced one problem other than a battery needing replaced.
This is from correspondence on 12 November:
"Looking at the report the vehicle was fine and passed all road test and inspections that has been done. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we work with all of our customers to make sure they are satisfied. Everything will be ok.
- texastrucksource".
Obviously they are not working with me to make sure I am satisfied or they would be backing up what they sold as serviced and ready to drive anywhere.

Dealer in Houston says they will provide $1,500 towards repairs. I have requested $1,920.00 to cover the replacement of the safety terminal and the alternator bracket.
How much are paying total out of pocket? This is absurd.
Still working with the dealer in Houston to get this resolved. In the mean time, the car sits in the Century BMW on a lift in an inoperable mode.
I find it amazingly hard to believe the car presented no symptoms whatsoever in the time the dealer had it, and that it magically just started happening after you purchased it. This feels more like the dealer taking advantage of an out of state sale with the thought that someone a distance away is much less of a legal threat than someone local.
I am not paying for anything else on this service. I have paid out of pocket to have the two front fuel filters replaced, the fuel pump with regulator in the fuel tank, a thermostat, blake fluid flush. I am not paying anything else.

Latest update on this situation. Century BMW replaced the high pressure fuel pump on bank 1. Test drove the car after the service. At highway speed stalled several times. Returned to the service bay. Tested high pressure fuel pump on bank 2. Diagnosed as failed. So, $2,228 for the part, $1,200 for the labor, $130 in taxes for an awful cost of $3,558. Insurance covered the cost for HPFP bank 1.
Also, the dealer, Texastruckcenter in Houston, refuses to acknowledge or accept any responsibility for selling a car that was represented as "Serviced, maintenance up-to-date, ready to go anywhere for the next owner". The dealer also refuses to provide any assistance for these repairs. So to date: both front fuel filters, fuel pump with regulator at the tank, HPFP on bank 1, alternator bracket, safety terminal, valve cover gaskets, vacuum pump, return valve, lower radiator hose, thermostat, brake fluid flush service. You do not want to know how much my out-of-pocket has been thus far. Looks like another $3,600 incur next week.
This 760i just turned 86,000 and I have put a whopping 150 miles on the car since it was delivered on November 8. The car has been with in the service bay more than it has been in my garage.
To the previous post that said I should not have to pay for any of this I believe you are correct. The distance between me and a non-responsive dealer has been a real imposition. I have a niece that is an attorney that I will have start looking at my options against this dealer.
Lawyer up! This is bull****, now time to prove it. Let us know what happens.
Did this ever get fixed?
Both HPFP had to be replaced as well as the fuel pump with regulator and both fuel filters located up front. Dealer will not respond so legal is next course.
Both HPFP replaced, fuel pump with regulator at the tank, both up front fuel filters, alternator bracket was leaking, and a safety terminal had to be replaced. Dealer, Texastrucksource, 832-713-2967, refuses to acknowledge or provide any cost recovery for the repairs. Legal course remains.
The labor cost seems high
I have been in touch with an attorney in Houston.
There are a number of causes if action that you can have against them under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) among other contractual and common law claims. Most of them allow for attorneys fees, sometimes treble damages and occasionally punitive damages.
Going to go hard after this dealer.
Just purchased a 2003 760li with only 44k miles from a dealer near Dallas, Tx. Driven off the transportation truck and it stalled. Went to fill up the gas tank and fuel drained all over the ground under the fill neck. Got it to the BMW Dealership and $1300.00 later I had new emission parts, charcoal canister, fuel pump, etc. which fixed the gas filled charcoal canister so now at least the fuel tank can be filled. Well, the stalling continued at cold idle for about 3 or 4 miles then after a hot soak the V-12 would exhibit long cranking times. Now the dealer says I need a high pressure fuel pump at a cost of just over $2500.00. And this is at only 44,000 miles! I called BMW USA. The customer service representative said "sorry". So I sent an email to BMW USA and the same customer assistance representative called me back and reiterated "sorry". He admitted that they have high pressure fuel pump failures but not really that many on the V-12. He did sound a little surprised that a fuel pump could cost $2500.00 and the vehicle actually has two. So no help from BMW USA. "Sorry" Next was a complaint to the Auto Safety Administration. No response yet after about two weeks. So basically plan on replacing both hpfp's during your ownership that can happen anytime or anyplace. Usually you stall in the middle of traffic or it is really great when going around a corner at a busy intersection, lose power steering and coast to a stop in that beautiful $125,000 + BMW that dies and won't start in front of people who gave all kinds of hand signals to me. I'm not sure what they all mean but I think they are saying don't buy stupid BMW it you want to park it in the middle of a busy highway unless you want to get killed. Even a school bus honked his horn behind me since I just sat there trying to start this great car. And the other man who was screaming at me for some reason, I think he was saying to move my car but I couldn't understand him. Some strange language! So the final resolution is: The very nice BMW Dealer in Ocala, FL who gave me a loaner car that doesn't stall will fix the hpfp for just over $2500.00, a discounted price for one pump. And thanks BMW USA Customer Assistance, you really have convinced me want to buy another BMW in the future. Buyers beware: Set aside $5,000.00 in a kitty for when you need high pressure fuel pumps for your BMW.
Dave, sorry to hear about your problems. I need to ask though, if you bought it from a dealer, why did you take delivery of it if it did not function coming off the transportation truck? Seems like the dealer got a trade-in and did not even inspect it. I'd go after them, not anyone else. Yelp and BBB go a long way to get someone to get their stuff together.
also, check your battery charge, these cars crank long also if the battery is just a bit low. (even when the HPFPs are completely F-d, I know from experience) and I will only recommend the AGM-charger that BMW sells. It charges really REALLY slow, but tops the battery off without hammering it and damaging it like a standard trickle charger from my old garage might. I have had a well-charged battery that could quickly start a 760 with failed HPFP that was unable to maintain proper pressure while idling, so, long crank is usually combined with a low battery charge.
The other symptoms do sound HPFP-related, but those symptoms are mostly the result of the top diaphragms leaking gas into the tank vent system. I'd like to know if the dealer found gas in your tank vent system?
This sounds very familiar. I purchased a 2004 760i from Texas Truck Source in Houston in late October 2012. Within 25 miles of driving the care I had similar issues. You can read my post about HPFP failure and the expenses I incurred. Bottom line, I spoke with several BMW independent service shops and all recommended replacing both HPFPs at the same time. I did that and also ended with an entirely new fuel delivery system as the HPFPs were just one of the issues.
Also, Texas has a law on its books, the Deceptive Trade Practice Act. I consulted legal counsel about my issue and they receommended a thorough review of the DTPA and notifying the dealer with a certified letter an Intent to File law suit.
Thanks for your concern
Thank you for the response. Very interesting about the battery situation. I purchased the vehicle from Fischbone Motors out of Farmers Branch, Tx. Scott is the owner. I saw the ad on Cars.com who later sent me an email survey requesting my opinion of the used car dealer and sale. My comments of course were extremely poor and would not recommend that dealer to anyone. I even spoke to Scott who remained mute and uncommitted about any problem or about the flat out lies from the salesman about the car's condition. When the BMW was unloaded from the carrier in Central Florida, the battery was dead. The driver was aware of that because he said the car died prior to putting it on the carrier and the car had to be jumped to start upon loading. So he jumped the battery again and one of my employees drove it about 1500 feet towards my business and then the car died. We all thought it was the battery so we left a charger on it overnight (February 2012 mfg battery) and it started just fine but before I got to the gas station about 1 block away it died again. The fuel gauge read 1/4 so as I tried to put fuel in the tank, fuel went all over the station's driveway, but then was able to only get about 3 or 4 gallons in. After the engine went in closed loop and was warmed up it ran quite well so I drove it to BMW Ocala, FL. Extremely nice people, put me in a 2013 5 Series for almost a week while they ordered parts and tried to make the repairs. That is the dealership who found the canister filled with fuel. After those repairs were made where they said they had fixed the stalling I left, only to find out the next day it ran worse and stalled several times. So back it went and that is where it is right now waiting for a hpfp. And I am back in a new Series 5 loaner. Honestly, the BMW Dealer in Ocala couldn't be better, but a 10 year old car not purchased new, but only had 44,000 miles, really doesn't qualify for dealership goodwill. And then to beat all this I just got the title in the mail. Guess what? It was a REPO.
No big deal because the car basically is in beautiful condition with the low miles, however, just another dishonest ploy by Fischbone Motors to make a sale. It's the nearly $4,000.00 in repairs already and I haven't even been able to drive it. And I am the latest "target" at work with the jokes shot at me for buying a BMW.
Yes, I am familiar with AGM battery chargers, in fact, we have a new Odyssey Charger at work I can use. But what I did not know is what you are stating about having a complete and full charge relating to stalling. Actually, Battery Minder has a 12 volt wet/agm/gel charger that has a desulfator built in. We sell the 36 & 48 volt versions for golf cart batteries and we feel are the best on the market for charging and desulfating 6/8/12 volt batteries. When I get the car back I will run the battery on the Battery Minder for a few weeks.
Thanks for reminding me about Yelp and of course the BBB. Cars.com has 7 surveys on line about Fischbone Motors. 3 of the 7 are horrible. Scott, the owner of Fischbone Motors refutes all of them. Unfortunately, I didn't see them prior to my purchase of the vehicle. They are a despicable used car dealership dealing in classic cars and they will ultimately fail and go out of business. I will ultimately get the bugs out of the car and have a nice black BMW 760li as I set out to find and with low miles. It's just too bad that there are unscrupulous dealers out there like that and it's too bad BMW's goodwill or policy adjustment decisions on known safety issue concern parts aren't dealt with differently. Would I buy another BMW from the Ocala BMW Dealership - Absolutely! Would ever buy from or recommend Fischbone Motors - Not on my life!
And thanks again for showing your concern. This website is awesome and I have learned a lot about BMWs, especially myself coming from a General Motors background.
Check those fuel pump diaphragms...
As mws said, check the fuel pump diaphragms on both sides..my bet is they are
leaking. Fabricate yourself a pentagon-shaped bit and remove the fuel pressure
regulator to check the diaphragms. I haven't found a suitable replacement yet
but the Audi Q7/VW Touraeg (or however you spell that) have a similar design
specced HPFP that sells for $200 or so on Ebay. You may be able to swap or modify
the diaphragm from this pump...I haven't opened one up yet to see. If it works, it'd
be a heck of a lot cheaper than $2500 per pump.
Also might want to consider lubricating your gasoline with an additive to prevent
the pump piston scoring the bore allowing metal shavings to kill your next pump.

I hate to break it to you guys...but you bought a used car sight unseen(atleast the OP did). What did you expect? Used vehicles are sold "as is". Unless they are CPO and that is only offered through BMW. To think you expect them to pay for $10k in repairs is ridiculous. You probably paid just over that for the car. Plus you bought a 760. The car was $120k brand new expect to pay much more then that in repairs over the years with all the miles your car has. Your car was probably an auction vehicle, and a reseller bought it(truckstop or whatever) and the original owner knew about the problems and dumped the car. Good luck with her. I'd sell it immediately if not sooner.

Help: Engine Shutoff Automatically and shows no faults .
My 2005 760i is having a hard time idling and staying on when it first starts. The engine will shutoff at a stop sign after I have pressed the gas and the car has stared to move, but all of the sudden everything shuts off ad the steering locks. At this point I have to completely take the key out and re start the car but when it tries to restart is has a real hard time getting going and sometimes I have to press the gas to help it get going. this happens every morning at the same stop sign but the car will run great the rest of the day at high speed and will sometimes do the same on the way back from work at the same stop sign from my work side.
The system shows no fault at all.....
Please help I have put a new fuel pump and its still doing it.
Texas has a law on its books, the Deceptive Trade Practice Act. I consulted legal counsel about my issue and they receommended a thorough review of the DTPA and notifying the dealer with a certified letter an Intent to File law suit. PM me if want to get the Texas Attorney I have been in contact with.

With little more a few minutes discussion, four Chiefland City Commission members decided Jan. 28 to switch tracks and table the acceptance of a bid offering from Perkins State Bank, which three of them previously agreed to accept.
City Commissioner Frank Buie reportedly broke his hip and was unable to attend the meeting Monday night. He had voted in favor of accepting the Perkins' loan agreement before.

Your back pain may not go away completely, or it may get more painful at times. Learning to take care of your back at home and how to prevent repeat episodes of back pain can help you avoid surgery.
A number of different medications can also help with your back pain.
Over-the-counter pain relievers
Over-the-counter pain relievers can help with your back pain. Over-the-counter means you can buy them without a prescription.
Most doctors recommend acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) first because it has fewer side effects than other drugs. Do not take more than 4 grams (4,000 mg) on any one day or 24 hours. Overdosing on Tylenol can cause severe damage to your liver.
If your pain continues, your doctor may suggest nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). You can buy some NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and naproxen, without a prescription. Anti-inflammatory drugs help reduce the swelling around the swollen disc or arthritis in the back.
Both NSAIDs and acetaminophen in high doses, or when taken for a long time, can cause serious side effects. Side effects may include stomach ulcers or bleeding, and liver or kidney damage. For NSAIDs, the common side effect is stomach pain or bleeding. If this occurs, stop taking the medicine right away and tell your health care provider.
If you are taking pain relievers for more than a week, tell your doctor. You may need to be watched for side effects.
Narcotic pain relievers
Narcotics, also called opioid pain relievers, are used only for pain that is severe and is not helped by other types of painkillers. They work well for short-term relief. Do not use them for more than 3 - 4 weeks. These medicines are only rarely used to treat someone with chronic pain.
Narcotics work by binding to receptors in the brain, which blocks the feeling of pain. These drugs can be abused and addictive. When used carefully and under a doctor's direct care, they can be effective at reducing pain.
Examples of narcotics include:
Possible side effects of these drugs include:
When taking narcotics, do not drink alcohol, drive, or operate heavy machinery.
Muscle relaxants
Sometimes, your doctor will prescribe a group of drugs called muscle relaxants. Despite their name, they do not work directly on muscles. Instead, they work through your brain and spinal cord.
They are often given along with over-the-counter pain relievers to relieve the symptoms of back pain or muscle spasm.
Examples of muscle relaxants include:
Side effects from muscle relaxants are common and include drowsiness, confusion, nausea. and vomiting.
These medicines can be addictive. Talk to your doctor before using these drugs, as they may interact with other medicines or make certain medical conditions worse.
You should not drive or operate heavy machinery while taking muscle relaxants. You should also not drink alcohol while taking these medications.
Antidepressants are normally used to treat people with depression. However, low doses of these medicines can help people with chronic low back pain -- even if they do not feel sad or depressed.
Antidepressant medicines work by changing the levels of certain chemicals in your brain. This changes the way your brain notices or perceives pain. The antidepressants most commonly used for chronic low back pain also will help you sleep.
Antidepressants most often used for back pain are:
Common side effects of these medicines include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, weight gain, sleepiness, problems urinating, and sexual problems. Less commonly, these drugs can also have bad effects on the heart and lungs.
Do not take these drugs unless you are under the care of a doctor. Do not stop taking these drugs suddenly or change the dose without also talking with your doctor.
Anti-seizure or anticonvulsant medicines
Anticonvulsant medicines are used to treat people with seizures or epilepsy. They work by causing changes in the electric signals in the brain. They work best for pain that is caused by nerve damage.
These drugs may help some patients whose long-term back pain has made it hard for them to work, or that interferes with their daily activities.
The anticonvulsants most often used to treat chronic pain are:
All of these drugs have their own side effects. However, common side effects include weight gain or weight loss, upset stomach, loss of appetite, skin rashes, drowsiness or feeling confused, and headaches.
Do not take these drugs unless you are under a doctor's care. Do not stop taking these drugs suddenly or change the dose without also talking with your doctor.

The gum The room ... The bell hops
The staff was great. Always friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for our needs (we were attending an event at the convention center). The executive lounge was an excellent place for coffee & breakfast with a nice view of Charlotte. Our A/C in the room did not work. We called the front desk and they sent a gentlemen up to fix it. He came in, changed the filter, told us it was working now and left. However, the room never cooled down and I called down again. Unfortunately, we had left the "do not disturb" sign on the door from that morning and the technician was not permitted to enter the room. (we had left for the evening) So the air conditioning was never repaired and the only downside to our stay was a very hot room.
Horrible service. Ridiculous terms and rules. Being charged over $200 for a false noise complaint, TWICE. Not even informing us about the charge whatsoever. Really selfish staff.
How clean and friendly everyone was
My husband and I decided to book a room somewhat last minute on a holiday weekend. It was our 6th wedding anniversary & we were looking for something a little different than the past years celebrations. The first night, we were on the 5th floor, in a comfortable room with nice amenities. The next day, we decided to book another night & had no problems doing so very easily. My husband spoke to an employee in the lobby about possibly switching rooms so that we could see the fireworks. While we couldn't get a room on the side of the building where they shot off the city's fireworks, we got a great room on the other side of the building where we could watch all the fireworks on the horizon going off for hours. They gave us a sweet gift bag with snacks & since we were moved to the top floor, we also got access to the executive lounge, where we had access to free breakfast & all the other amenities offered there. It was great & we really appreciate all the help from the staff for making that possible. While we had one night of parking comped, the $20 a night parking fee seems a little steep to me. We live in a small town where there aren't even meters for parking, so that's a bit of an adjustment.
Was just passing through NC and needed a nice hotel gor decent price and I was amazed at the deal I got on a hotel that in my book should be 7 stars!!! Rooms.were spacious and modern, beds and pillows are very comfy, batrhoom very cool!!!
It was very clean secure and had a friendly staff Parking deck was 6 foot eight inches and had to pay twenty dollars to park my van overnight
Location, price Air conditioning in room couldn't get below 72 degrees
The location was great, with an awesome view to boot. The room was comfortable and clean. I felt like I was staying in a cheap motel next to the highway when the occupants in the next room turned up their music and partied into the wee hours of the morning. The walls were thin enough to hear laughter, cursing, and singing... was very disappointed to not have a restful time.
Close proximity to restaurants and sites, Long wait to check-in
The staff was so welcoming and courteous we felt very much at home the minute we arrived! No late dining in hotel. However there were LOTS of great places within 2 blocks
Bed was very comfortable and the staff was my favorite part. They were very helpful and nice. The place was very clean and loved the checkout time. My fiance and I traveled to Charlotte for one night to attend a concert. We pulled in and cones were blocking the entrance to self park which resulted in us using the valet service. Service was great but it was 30 dollars for one time valet. Very pricey especially for something we didn't want to do in the first place. Checking in didn't go as planned either, my reservation wasn't showing up but I had a printed and email confirmation. About 20 minutes later it was sorted out by having to make another reservation. The staff was by far my favorite part. They were helpful and patient even with a ton of people bustling around needing something.
Very clean. Friendly staff. Good food. Nice and comfortable bed!
I didn't like that I requested a room on a high floor with a nice view and wound up with one on the 7th floor with a view of a roof. I also didn't like that I had to keep pestering the hotel staff for a remote and the only way someone finally seemed to act was when I requested another room, one with a remote. The TV had the channel and volume button disabled so I could only watch the never ending hotel channel. It drove me insane and I missed my favorite TV show because 3 phone calls, a trip to the front desk, and an encounter with a gentleman on the floor taking care of something else didn't seem to be able to produce a remote. Why didn't the cleaners check previously that a remote was in the room? That is standard. I was also disappointed that the hotel didn't have wifi. Some computers, especially MacBooks do NOT have an ethernet port so they cannot be plugged in. I wound up having to tether my computer to my phone just to surf the net. For the price, this was a very bad experience and I will NEVER stay at this hotel again.
Everything When I got there the room was clean. But the bathroom still had dirty towels in from the previous people staying in my room.
I love the fact the asked me if I wanted a high or low room..of course we took the high and the view for the 15 floor was amazing
Valet is super I had a modified reservation with a better rate and the manager Darron acted as if I was making it up! Not satisfied with his handling of it.
I liked everything about my stay except for a few unfriendly and standoffish hotel employees and security staff members... When I first arrived I was greeted rudely by the security staff... There was an event/wedding under way, and because I was dressed in casual urban attire I was blocked at the front door until I informed them of my reservation.... The only people who were genuinely friendly to ke throughout my stay were a valet associate named Matthew and older Spanish woman in the gift shop and the young ladies at the concierge counter. If it wasn't for those 5 connections my stay could've been undesirable... Those individuals mentioned above, salvaged the negative impression that the security staff left with me....
The staff was very friendly, always offered assistance, great place to take your family and dog, great location in Greenville within walking distance to many restaurants and places to do something fun, we recommend this place highly and planning on returning soon! Staff was amazing Rooms very clean and great views at charlotte Dog friendly they offer treats and water in the lobby Close to restaurants
Overall, a very nice hotel. Up to standard. Was not pleased with my stay. I checked in at 6:30 and none of the rooms were clean. I found this ridiculous and almost unheard of. I was not put in the room that I had originally booked which had bathrobes. The room they put me in did not so I asked for them three times. They promised they would bring them up and they never did. Very disappointed in the staff and customer service so I will not be staying here again unless I am reimbursed.
Excellent location! Perfect walking distance from all of down town! Great view of the Panthers stadium. Room was generally clean. Received an unauthorized charge after check out of $20 for self parking after paying for a very high end hotel room. There were very few self parking spots and most of the garage was taken up with construction. There were plenty of reserved valet parking spots, but we WERE NOT TOLD about the $20 self parking and the $25 valet parking, so we just walked the extra distance thinking we were saving money.
The view of the city was beautiful at night though walking to the Epicenter was interesting as a group of adults were two blocks up trying to panhandle on the one side of the street. Family stayed at the same time and said they had robes on there room and we did not. Also cold water in room was not cold but warm. Also housekeeping did not leave correct bath amenities and toilet handle was broken.
The location is a few blocks away from where I would prefer to be, but otherwise this is the perfect hotel for business travel
Great breakfast in the morning and great nightlife at the bar with amazing rooftop patio. Internet connection never really worked so we didn't make use of it.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Everything in the room was spotless. The location was very convenient. Breakfast provided lots of options and the staff serving it went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. We were a bit surprised by the $22 charge for required valet parking but the valets were great. The morning we left, only one elevator was working, which caused a bit of a wait since we were on the top floor.
The staff was great. Marvin is an excellent staffer. He was helpful and friendly.
It was very close to our venue of the concert at the stadium. Just a block away. But it was close to the metro station which had some shady people. But that's givin near any city area. There was bars and restaurants nearby. We had a good time. Just keep a close eye on yourself. But the view from our room was very nice of downtown. Especially at night when the building lights came on!
No parking and pool is on same floor as upscale restaurant.
We really had a great stay there!!! The hotel and staff were excellent!!! The only complaint was the parking,,, the valet was great but wish they would have had a parking lot, but being in the city that is understandable.
It was my first time in Charlotte, staff left a very good impression!
The layout of the room was great! And the bathroom was outstanding. The hotel was difficult for many members of our party to initially locate. All most everyone went to the Hyatt House, 2 blocks away, before finding the Hyatt Place. Increased signage is needed, given that the entrance to the hotel is not road side.
Good breakfast. Accommodating front desk personnel when wine bottles needed to be opened. Key required for elevator ; didn't always work, card keys frequently failed . Very difficult to figure out where the entrance was, especially since it was in an area of one way streets.
The location, staff, and room were great! Very helpful staff and comfortable beds. They only have 5 luggage racks, and there were non available upon check in or check out. It made it hard to transport our luggage with our 9-month old.
Nothing about this hotel is worthy of positive comment except the Valet Servicecleam Cleanliness. Service. Food. Beds. Quiet - the walls are paper thin. Elevator access - terrible. Response to problems - pass the buck. I do go to Charlotte a bit and I will NEVER stay here again.. Room was filthy with hair in the tub and used tissues behind the bed. The rolls were literally half baked dough. The beds could have been from the Spanish Inquisition. Worst of all was the front desk staff. While courteous, their answer was to pass the remarks on to Management and "see what could be done". Hey Hyatt - Don't make excuses, find solutions. It's called empowerment and unlike your hotel - It works!
Lovely clean room. Neighbors were loud and did keep me awake part of the night.
The service was great and the staff was so nice and helpful the entire hotel was clean and great
The room and the entire hotel were well cleaned and comfortable. Breakfast was good! Older facilities. There were bubbles in the drywall that hadn't been properly repaired, the faucet set screw had been replaced with a drywall screw that didn't fit, the carpet is nearing the end of it's life.
Close enough to downtown and the stadium to be walking distance
Smooth, problem-free, comfortable weekend stay No complaints
This was a great hotel. Very nice staff, clean hotel, best breakfast buffet, and very affordable. We enjoyed it! The tub didn't drain well
The only thing I hated was the parking situation
I like the location didnt like the parking situation
It really was as clean as they said it was. The included breakfast buffet was stocked, fresh, tasty and varied. Cookies available at check-in! Woo Hoo! It's just a little thing but it sure was nice. I really had to think hard about anything I didn't like. The Front Desk didn't have access to the kitchen to refill coffee amenities, like cream and sugar, after hours. They ran out by 10:00 PM and I had to leave my group and run up to my room to put cream in my coffee that I got from the kiosk in the lobby. It wasn't a big deal to me but it might be to someone who had a bad night.
The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly and accomodating. Even with the renovations that were going on it was quiet.
The location was terrific and hotel staff very friendly. The room was designed and decorated from the late '90s. All the furniture was pushed to one side of the room, like they had been cleaning the carpets. For the exorbitant price, the hotel was lacking a lot.
They didn't offer free breakfast or coupons for the $13 'buffet'. Disappointed in paying over 150 bucks for a place and not given any sort of free breakfast.
Clean and quiet Not what I expected at a Hilton Garden
Great value for the money, will book again with Hilton
Staff was very friendly. Nothing.
Everything was OK to good, nothing was great. A fair price for a fair hotey
The room was clean and the check in process was great! The shower drain was clogged so that water was standing in the shower.
Friendly staff...easy check in...walk to everywhere Was there for concert and parked, checked in and not a worry after. Very clean VERY friendly staff. I will definitely stay again!
As their name suggests, you find all the things you would expect to find at a Marriott. Very clean from bottom to top, comfy beds, nice views of the city (maybe not from every room), extremely conveinient downtown location, and very friendly staff. I stayed on halloween for $100 on kayak and the front desk staff were in costume and very nice! I'm usually wary of booking through 3rd party sites having worked in hotels and having seen all the issues that arise. However there were no problems, no extra fees (other than parking which was stated online), and no regrets. I would definitely stay again. I didn't like that i had to pay to park only one car. i did know before hand about the fee but it still seems like bulls**t to pay to park in the garage of the hotel you're staying in.

The latest scary new malware scam.
Last week I talked about a (relatively) new form of malware: the purchase of online hacking kits that even a computer novice can learn to use so they can steal people's identities, hack into banks, etc. I mentioned that these kits are now being used in phishing scams so as to accomplish the same types of things via e-mail.
This week, ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you: Smishing. Actually, it's SMiShing (SMS phishing), but who wants to bother with capital letters?
Let's review, shall we?
Phishing is when an attacker sends (usually by e-mail) a legitimate looking offer from a supposed highly reliable source (banks, PayPal, etc.). The phishing message usually falsely notifies the recipient of an "urgent" matter that requires their immediate attention" (or something equivalent) and to contact the entity to enter personal information such as social security numbers, account numbers, bank account details, etc. in order to resolve the issue. Such messages will even include something like, 'If you do not respond to this within 3 days, you are in danger of having your account suspended." Phishers are even smart enough to use themselves as the reason to disclose personal information: "If you feel that this could be a fraudulent website and you have been the victim of a phishing attack, please click on the link below, enter your user name and password, and report the violation." Of course, by the time the victim has finished entering their user name and password, everything is all over and who knows what has been stolen. Phishing has become much more advanced, so that an unsuspecting victim can lose all of their personal data (passwords, credit card numbers, bank account details, and even their identity just by clicking on the provided link.
Okay, now take everything you have just read, and apply it to text messaging. If
you follow through on a looks-like-the-real-thing-but-it's-not text message, you have
now become a victim of smishing. Smishing has been around for a couple of years,
but with the sudden Android/Windows (mobile) Phone 7/iPhone craze, attackers have
gotten a little more sly and a lot better at what they do.
Smishing takes the form of text messages like, "There is possible fraud alert on your
credit card. Enter your credit card number and the last 4 digits of your social security
card to prevent possible fraud. This is for your protection." Sometimes the attacker
will ask you to call an 800 number and give your credit card number, last four digits
of your social security number (for protection against unauthorized access to your
account!) to the first representative, You may be asked to validate your subscription
to an Adult website at $49.95 per month, and unless you cancel this request by
clicking on the attached link, you agree that you ordered this service and will be
billed accordingly. Most people have not heard of smishing yet and tend to trust text
messages more than e-mail, thus they respond and become immediate victims.
Smishing is almost exclusively a threat for smart phone users. Here are some tips to
help protect you if you own one:
#1: Get a reliable anti-virus program. Look for ones that have great reviews
and solid recommendations. Smart phones are like hand-held computers, and if you
have a Windows Phone 7 or an Android phone, you have a handheld computer with
a real operating system. And what is the first thing you do after you have installed
Windows, Linux, or Apple on your computer? Why, put on an anti-virus program, of
#2: Don't click on it! And don't call the number! I can't state this enough. If
there's a link included and you don't know who it is – and now, apparently, even if
you think you know who it is – don't click on it! Don't call the number they instruct
you to call – don't do anything but delete it.
#3: Try not to have any really personal information stored on your phone.
Notice I say to try not to do that. What I want to say is don't do it no matter what
but I realize that it might be impossible to not have some information on your
phone. Just try to keep the real personal stuff to a minimum.
#4: Make sure that you have strong passwords for your financial accounts.
If you do have to (or like to) do your banking, etc. on your phone, make sure you
use a strong password. If you don't know how strong a password should be, just
Google "how to make a strong password" or something like that and you'll get
results that will help.
I think that's enough scary malware for these past couple of weeks. I would really
like to inform you about nice things, too, but if they keep making all of this creative
malware junk fast enough, I may have to change this to 'In the Security News."
Text carefully, and have a good week!
~ Lori Cline

Open MONDAY, July 3, 2017.
We have 6 Locations in Metro Detroit, call for details 313-581-8999.
Welcome to the Cooper's Webpage!
We love martial arts and would be happy to share our experience with you. At our school you can get fit, learn martial arts from multidisciplined martial artists, make new friends - and have fun too! Not all martial arts schools, gyms and clubs are a like.
Our mission is to offer our students the highest quality instruction in a friendly professional atmosphere. Our Instructors are Internationally Certified Black Belt Instructors.
Cooper's Gym has served the Great State of Michigan since 1972.
We offer separate beginner programs (non-competitive and competitive). Enrollment is limited, please call for an appointment.
Internationally Licensed and Endorsed Muay Thai Center
Kickboxing, what is called Kickboxing today came out of Full Contact Karate competitions in the sixties. Competitors included such fighters as Bill Wallace, Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris. Each had different backgrounds in Karate and boxing, as well as other martial arts. New fighting styles, techniques and strategies developed out of the need for a comprehensive form of fighting that was effective in the ring.
To minimize the risk of injury during amateur Kickboxing competitions, competitors must wear protection for the feet and head, as well as shin guards, safety gloves, mouth guards, groin guards for men and chest protection for women. Kickboxing competitors use sparring, kicks, punches, kick blocks, shadow boxing, focus pads and bag work that is learned and applied under professional instruction. While Kickboxing was first developed as a martial art for tournament fighting, it has more recently become very popular; especially with women, because the Kickboxing workout (Fitness/Cardio Kickboxing) is excellent for developing body toning and burning fat while also helping students gain confidence in self defense.
Women's Fitness and Cardio Kickboxing Program
Our exciting fitness program offers a fun and rewarding way to get into shape. New classes are now forming, give us a call for details.
Authentic Muay Thai
Our Muay Thai program is now accepting new members, no experience need. These classes are for the beginner seeking to learn authentic real Muay Thai. We offer separated programs and schedules for beginngers, amateurs and professionals. Give us a call for more details.
We offer a separate amateur, professional, fitness and white collar (executive) boxing programs. For more details go to our boxing page.
Mixed Martial Arts for Fitness
We offer several MMA programs. Many are not interested in competition, however want the most comprehensive fitness workout, others want no contact and no partners. We have the program for you. If you are interested in competition, we have a separate program for you. Therefore, everyone can benefit from a comprehensive fitness workout.
You will learn the best of boxing, muay thai, jujitsu, submission grappling and other martial arts to become the complete martial artist.
The roots of MMA date back to the ancient Greeks and the early Olympic sport of Pankration, in which combatants faced each other with very few rules. Similar sports evolved in many different places over time, often with the goal of pitting one traditional martial arts style against another. Many legendary martial artists, such as Jeet Kune Do founder and practitioner Bruce Lee, have advocated the use of these hybridized, non-traditional forms to most closely resemble real world scenarios. Even legendary boxer Muhammad Ali took part in a cross-sport match-up when he agreed to face Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki. These kinds of contests were the early foundation for the sport of MMA, which has grown tremendously in scope and practice since then. The modern era of MMA is thought to have arisen from the "anything goes" fighting contests (sometimes referred to as "Vale Tudo") held in Brazil throughout the later half of the twentieth century. These first reached North America when the Gracie family helped create the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1993, and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu expert Royce Gracie surprised fans by winning three of the first four editions.The early American MMA events were often bloody, rule-less brawls, and they quickly drew the ire of notable politicians like Senator John McCain, who decried the bouts as "human cockfighting". The sport was almost outlawed completely in the U.S., but survived by altering its "no-holds-barred" strategy and embracing governmental regulation. Since then, MMA has incorporated a more stringent set of rules and weight classes, and has moved toward mainstream acceptance. Though specific rules vary depending on the organization, MMA usually refers to a sport that combines striking and grappling arts, while outlawing groin strikes, eye-gouging, small joint manipulation, biting, hair-pulling, and strikes to the spine or throat.MMA has been vilified in the past by media and politicians, though there has never been a death or serious injury in a sanctioned MMA event. Early indications suggest that the sport is actually safer than boxing, thanks to the variety of techniques and the smaller gloves, which prohibit a fighter from absorbing repeated blows to the head, thus minimizing long-term damage.

Future Litigators Association
Future Litigators Association (FLA) would provide a forum for law students interested in pursuing careers in litigation (criminal or civil; plaintiff or defense). It will encourage members to acquire litigation knowledge through seminars, court attendance, and visiting practitioners. Its approach to litigation would be more theoretical than the purely skills-based groups. FLA would be open to any law student who foresees being in a litigation career path upon graduation. Not only would the association help facilitate contact with practitioners in litigation but with litigation specific organizations, such as the American Bar Association's Section of Litigation and the Association of Litigation Support Professionals (ALSP). The ABA Section of Litigation is the largest specialty section of the American Bar Association and is dedicated to helping litigators become more effective advocates for their clients. ALSP is a national group with local chapters dedicated to establishing global professional standards for the litigation support profession through collaboration, education and certification.
If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail Future Litigtators Association at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Dozens of Congressmen File for Extension on Financial Disclosure Documents
June 15, 2011 | Instead of today, 76 House representatives will sometime this summer release reports on their stock, bond and mutual fund holdings, as well as investments in real estate, ownership interests in private companies and cash, according to a tally by the Center for Responsive Politics.
Jet Setting Politicians, Bundling Lobbyists and More in Capital Eye Opener: April 27
April 27, 2010 | Retiring Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.), the chairman of the House Committee on Science and Technology, is taking heat for racking up travel expenses on the taxpayer's dime, according to Roll Call. Gordon announced he was retiring in December, but has since visited or plans to visit Denmark, Italy, France, Switzerland and China -- all on official business and paid for by taxpayers.
Hedge Funds, Private Equity Firms, Payday Lenders Seek Financial Security from Congress
November 30, 2009 | Legislation aimed at regulating the securities and investment industry is as complex as the industry itself. But the trade groups representing these interests all seem to have at least one thing in common: they fear additional government regulation will damage their business, which especially concerns them given the ailing economy.
Congressmen Hear from TARP Recipients Who Funded Their Campaigns
February 10, 2009 | The eight CEOs testifying Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee about how their companies are using billions of dollars in bailout funds may find that the hot seat is merely lukewarm. Nearly every member of the committee received contributions associated with these financial institutions during the 2008 election cycle, for a total of $1.8 million.
Blagojevich Fundraiser Added to Obama, Biden, Jackson War Chests
January 26, 2009 | Although it's unclear to what extent businessman Raghuveer Nayak was involved in Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's alleged scheme to sell President Obama's Senate seat, what is clear is Nayak's commitment to funding the campaigns of the governor, the new president, the new vice president and others in Congress and the administration.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
Superdelegate Update
February 28, 2008 | In an update to Capital Eye's Feb. 14 report, campaign contributions from Obama and Clinton now total nearly $950,000 and have predicted endorsements about 80 percent of the time.

REDLANDS -- For the past two years one of the Redlands' Destination Imagination teams took its show on the road.
Next year the show is starting in Redlands.
Redlands' two-time DI Global champion - consisting of seventh-graders Ian McMahon, Brian McBride, Sam Medlin, Tristian Lenertz, James McKee, Harrison McDonald and Patrick Barry - will be the host team for Southern California's Destination Imagination regional competition.
The event is scheduled for March 2, at Cope Middle School.
"This is one of those kind of programs that is real unique," said Neil McMahon, a Redlands' team parent. "Until you see it and feel it, it doesn't always make sense. Once you see it, you understand it and really get it. I think that has been missing for the people who have supported us."
Destination Imagination is described as an international problem-solving competition open to students from elementary school through college. The main objectives of the competition are to foster creative and critical thinking, to develop teamwork, collaboration and leadership skills, and to nurture research and inquiry skills involving both creative exploration and attention to detail.
Redlands' world champs, whose team name last year was the Trojan Hamsters, topped a Global Championships field that included 1,000 teams from a dozen countries. The event was held at the University of Tennessee. The year before, the same winning Redlands' team went by the name ScissorDroids.
"We have a lot of brand new people this year," McMahon said. "We have really enthusiastic people and to me that is real exciting. We have new people who are embracing it in their first. We are bringing in the right people."
McMahon said about 20 teams from Redlands and Yucaipa have confirmed their participation for next year's event. The Redlands teams will feature students from Cope and Moore middle schools, Redlands East Valley High School and schools of various levels from Yucaipa.
Teams that advance from the regionals compete in the state event and the global championships.
The 2013 Global finals are set for May 22 through 25.
"The kids just love it," McMahon said. "They are all friends and like hanging out. They have a blast doing it."

Classy and comfy
By Canada Bride

Best Uses
I was thrilled with my purchase! I had been looking for dressy looking, flat, skinny strapped, black sandals for awhile with no luck. I was getting married on July 18th and was desperate to find comfortable (I have plantar fasciitis)sandals that I could wear with my wedding outfit, which included a classy, long, black skirt. On July 8th, I discovered a new product with the plantar fasciitis footwear line. I couldn't believe my eyes. The sandals were perfect. I ordered them, figuring that I'd be very lucky if they arrived in time for the wedding, especially since I live in Canada. I couldn't believe how quickly they arrived and they were even more amazing when I actually saw them for real. The first word that my sixteen year old niece said when she saw them as I pulled them out of their box (she had a sneak preview)was "Cool". Well, I was proud to wear these new sandals for my special day. Over the years I have ordered many pairs of footwear from Hammacher Schlemmer designed for people with plantar fasciitis and been very pleased with them all. As long as I wear their plantar fasciitis line of footwear I never have any pain. Way to go Hammacher Schlemmer!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Are Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls planning a joint tour?
Listen to Backstreet Boys on iHeartRadio | Listen to The Spice Girls on iHeartRadio
Two 90s super groups could be joining forces. In an interview with U.K.'s "The Sun," Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell dropped the news that the former boy band is "in early talks" for a possible joint tour with the Spice Girls.
The girl group hasn't responded to the comment, but rumors about a reunion among them have surfaced as 2014 marks their 20th anniversary. Mel B told "MTV News" earlier this year that it "would be a shame" if they didn't do something to commemorate the occasion, but Victoria Beckham doesn't seem to be interested. She told "Vogue Paris" that she realized she was finished with the Spice Girls during their 2008 reunion tour because "the passion just wasn't there."
As for the Backstreet Boys, all five members are back on board for another string of North American dates starting in May, as well as the Backstreet Boys Cruise in October.

Just to let each of you know that on Monday an article is supposed to be in the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Geocaching! I don't know who the photo series is to be with but the writer Bob Shaw told me to watch on Mondays paper ...I'm not sure what section!

The editors delayed the story, because there was so much other news going on, apparently. The story's fine, photos are fine, and it will wait until there is a suitable day for it, i.e., when there aren't a lot of other stories going on.

Post subject: Their Woods?!?!?!
Nice article! Here's the part that really irks me though:
They worry that hundreds of people tramping through their woods will damage plants and habitat.
When did parks owned by the citizens become "their woods?" I'm not sure if the reporter added this on his own or if he was paraphrasing a quote from one of the park managers.
Clearly not all managers have such an extreme attitude, but...
OK.. I feel a rant coming on so I'll just shut it down now....

"My husband thinks it's the most moronic sport ever," said Nola Cutts, co-chairwoman of the state Geocaching Association, who goes geocaching with her children twice a week. "But he's into fly fishing, so I guess we all have our own moronic sports."
Although the majority of the article is rather negativly one-sided, I laughed out loud when I read that part!!!!
I'm also pleased that my visi.com frog got mentioned in the article.
Thanks for the url.

LOL -- You know what? I talked for the better part of an hour with this reporter about my philosophy of "leave no trace" and my "trash out" activities and the progress MnGCA was making with having people pick up garbage on the trails and how I thought geocaching was environmentally friendly in that regard..... You have all heard this from me before
Toward the end of the interview we were JOKING
about how my husband hates to geocache and how I hate to fly fish. So what quote does he use, my speech about recycling or fly fishing? AAAAKKKKK!
BTW -- did you notice that Ian's age is not given and Rob's age is not given, just mine -- go figure.

Well, I don't doubt it, Centris.
After reading the article again, I really think it boils down to trying to create drama between geocachers and the parks. I suppose drama sells better than reading a story about what Geocaching is really about.

You don't sell newspapers by playing up drama. Is it still a quarter for a daily Pioneer Press? How many papers would they have to sell to make a difference on the bottom line? Papers make most of their money on advertising. I don't care if the writer talks about how lovey dovey everybody in the MnGCA is or if he talks about how a participant litters the metro area hiding his/her caches, it won't make a difference in the daily sale of papers. Making it out to be such a controversial topic with devistating results will only make the writer look like a hack.
Glad to know Centris is 43 years old, btw. Ages are often used as biographical characteristics, whether it's relevant or not. Using the age of only half of the adult subjects seems rather sloppy. An editor should have made sure the story was uniform, one way or the other.

I should clarify my opinion. I think the writer's perception is that people would be more interested in a battle a la "parks vs geocachers" rather than information about geocaching.
I think it's pretty clear that he's after the drama when he writes:
Three park officials walk up. Will they kick him out? Not today.
...and pay attention to the carefully chosen words here:
...officials in other parks, faced with an onslaught of geocachers, are scrambling to develop restrictions.
I understand how newspapers make money, and thank you, but I also understand how some writers choose to please their editors. Would the Pioneer Press put an article on the front of secton B about how cool and interesting geocaching is, and how geocachers even help clean up city, county and state parks? *shrug* Who knows.
I think that the majority of the public would rather find a [almost faticious] battle between this unknown group of techno-nature-hippies vs the parks that *everyone else* enjoys.
Ian Stevens checks his GPS unit, as rain drips off the end of his ponytail.
That's the kind of story that your regular soccer mom that takes her kids to her local park and the weekend sportsman that goes up to the park reserve hunting would be interested in reading about, excuse my stereotyping. (Boy, I'm making friends, eh?)
The writer isn't a hack - he's pulling legitimate information together, but he presented it in a dramatizing way.
In the end, the writer has to write stories that people are interested in. Therefore, sell. Even if the only person he's selling it to is the editor.
I don't think we disagree that much, hardware.

O.K. but what about this..... You would think that at least an reporter would be very careful on having his facts 100 percent straight. KB is not from SSP. I am.
I'm sure he got this mixed up since I would believe that I'm the first one that contacted him after I got the email from him.
I did an phone interview with him but I keep telling him that I was new and most of what I do know is from many of the GOOD articles that are on geocaching.com. Must be the reason I never got quoted.
I even gave him the link to these articles. Most of those talk about all the good things Like GITO etc.
I told him I didn't want to be the main voice of good facts and maybe he should contact KB and Centris.
I did tell him about how I found out about it from the Travel Channel and how they said it was a great family adventure game.
He then asked If he could go out with me for photos I said sure but I want my neices and nephews to go with. The all of a sudden it was really hard to set up a time and date with him. He Backed out of 3 days. I do believe in the Conspircy therories and maybe this is just one of those.
BTW how many of you have ever ran into an Park official doing grunt work in the rain?

Post subject: ages
bob shaw wrote to me that he should have been more careful in identifying ages. glad he agrees. he wanted to show that geocaching spans many age groups, which for the most part he did, admitting he did so in a confusing way.
i also shouldn't rule out that anecdotes about "cache in trash out" may have been included in his story, but cut to fit the way a pagination editor wanted the story to look. i don't know if that happened, nor do i care, but many changes could have been made after the story was out of bob's hands.
i have no idea how much background bob had before he started the article or how much he learned about it before interviewing people. either way the final result was sloppy.

I'll agree that the story,
as printed
definitely did not strike me as quality journalism...
On the other hand, the story
as writen
is something that I can't judge, since it wasn't published that way.....

Cervical cancer
Cervical cancer
The development of cervical cancer is gradual and begins as a pre-cancerous condition called dysplasia. It is usually a slow-growing cancer and if caught early can be successfully treated. Routine Pap smears can detect early changes in the cells of the cervix allowing cervical cancer to be caught early.

Mike Zunino 3-run HR leads M's to 4-1 win over White Sox - Aug. 8, 2014
Mike Zunino #3 of the Seattle Mariners hits a three-run home run in the fifth inning against the Chicago White Sox at Safeco Field on August 8, 2014 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Hisashi Iwakuma fired seven innings of one- run ball and the Seattle Mariners defeated the Chicago White Sox, 4-1, in the second test of a four-game set.
Iwakuma (10-6) scattered five hits and struck out three for the Mariners, who have won four in a row and five of their last six.
"He wasn't as sharp as he usually is, but he gave us seven sharp innings," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said of Iwakuma. "He certainly knows how to pitch when he doesn't have his best stuff."
Mike Zunino smacked a three-run homer, while Chris Taylor posted three hits and scored a run in the victory.
Fernando Rodney tossed a 1-2-3 ninth to notch his 32nd save of the year.
Jose Quintana (6-8) allowed four runs -- two earned -- on seven hits and two walks over 5 2/3 frames for Chicago, which has dropped four straight and six of its last seven contests.
Dayan Viciedo clubbed a solo shot in defeat.
The White Sox led 1-0 before the Mariners surged ahead with a four-run fifth.
Chris Denorfia worked a leadoff walk, Logan Morrison reached on a fielding error and Zunino cracked his three-run shot the opposite way to right. Kendrys Morales added a sacrifice fly later in the inning to give the Mariners a 4-1 lead.
Chicago, who recorded just one hit the rest of the way, never put a runner in scoring position.
Viciedo's solo blast to right opened the scoring for the White Sox in the fourth.
Game Notes
Seattle went 3-for-9 with runners in scoring position ... The White Sox activated pitcher Zach Putnam off the 15-day disabled list on Friday ... Zunino's blast was his 18th of the year.

Completely normal! With kids you go from being responsible just for yourself to literally being on call 24/7. Even if they're at school/daycare, if anything happens, you're still the one who will get a call! Having kids is an awesome experience but we all have bad days where we are just exhausted from all their demands. If you feel it's getting too bad, see if you can get a day off each week (get your partner or relative to babysit) or see a doctor.

Today's Sharpie artist is the man behind The Hello Project, Joseph Delhommer. With *Kristen Caston (who you may remember as our LIVE artist at the 2010 Sharpie Squad Virtual Summit), Delhommer launched THP, an "online social collaboration" aimed at recharging the everyday opener. Simply put, The Hello Project invites anyone and everyone to say Hello in a creative way onto a 3×3 Post-it® . Doodle it, sketch it, write it- whatever your heart desires, there is no right or wrong way to say hello!
Now here it is, a Sharpie interview for the record books… Get to know the man who's taking an ordinary greeting to extraordinary levels. This is Joseph Delhommer and The Hello Project!
Get to know J.D. & The Hello Project…
Background info? Where are you from?
Where I come from, people are always beach ready and never afraid to dance.
In the Dominican Republic it never gets cold so people never get stiff, that's why Miami Beach was an easy move for me but Hamburg and Chicago weren't. But I made do.
Occupation? Yes.
Interests? Likes? Dislikes? I am the light up type of person and I look for the same energy in music, people, and anything else I get involved with.
Pet Peeves? Being asked what my pet peeve is. But in all seriousness, I hate fake people.
Tell me about The Hello Project: It all started back in July last year here in Chicago. A designer friend, Kristen Caston, used to leave me post-it notes that said "Hi" every time she passed by my office when I wasn't there. One day I arranged four of them on my desk all in a row. And the idea just came to me…it stared in my face and said, "hello." After talking about it with my copywriter, Carlos Rangel, we came up with the name and registered the URL on the spot. All in all, it took no more than five minutes. We officially launched the site to the public on September 1st. (Happy 1st Bday THP!)
What is it about the word "Hello"? Why not something else? (Maybe "The How Are You Project," "The Nice Pants Project", "The Nice to Meet You Project") Because HELLO is universal. It's simple and has the power to instantly change the dynamic between you and a stranger.
What is THP's mission? / What do you hope to get out of this? When people get a creative urge, Post-its are a great canvas to let it loose on. The Hello Project gives creative's a perfect excuse to doodle. This is what got the first 20 people, all close friends, involved and this seemed like a great way to connect with creative types all around the world.
How many people are involved in THP? Amazingly over 350 people have participated thus far, some having contributed four or five post-its!
What are some favorite "Hello's" that you've received ? Throwing the hard questions at me huh? I'm not naming favorites, some people have flair and it's cool to see it shine on their submissions.
Do you limit entries to only words? No. No limits.
Who can submit to the Hello Project? And how? It is open to anyone who wants to say "hello". (FYI: We do not supply the post-its, the Sharpie products nor do we provide any scanning services.) People hand off their hello in person or email a JPEG to firstname.lastname@example.com.
What's your idea of "the perfect HELLO?" A Brit saying 'Ello Govnah!!
How many different ways are there to say hello on a yellow sticky note? Precisely 312,983,673,345,683,893,450,937 different ways.
Do you think Sharpie has any impact on THP? If so, How? Sharpie has an uncanny way of tapping into the creative vein; I think it's because of the freedom you get to write as fast or slow as you want. The ink's there either way. And it works nicely with a post it because it doesn't take much work to fill it up with your design.
If you could have any one person in the entire world submit a "HELLO" to THP, who would it be? Stefan Sagmeister.
(This happens to me now and again and I wonder if you have had a similar experience and what your opinion is on this happening…)
SCENARIO: You're walking down the street when you make eye contact with a passerby, being the friendly person you are, you say Hello! To which the passerby responds with a dumbfounded look, as if you had three heads and just asked him/her to join you for a PB&J and a light afternoon of cliff diving…
….What are your thoughts on this scenario? Why do you think some people find it odd when a stranger says hello? I know what you mean! Ever since I came to the US I noticed people are way more defensive. People create a comfort bubble between plugging in their iPods and staring at the sidewalk. And when the bubble gets popped, bam. They assume the worst.
Anything I didn't ask that you would like to add? The really big question is when will the lovely Whitney Kelly send in a hello of her own? Other than that, I think you nailed it. Pat yourself on the back, then grab a post it and doodle us a hello! (Forget about me, I'm getting the entire Sharpie Team to send in Hello's!)

For the haziest of reasons, there is a near taboo on the portrayal of adult brothers and sisters in film
In When Harry Met Sally, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan famously argued over whether men and women could be friends without one of them wanting to have sex with the other. When I first saw the film 11 years ago, I found it funny, entertaining and a good conversation piece, but I couldn't help thinking that Crystal and Ryan — neither of whom seemed to have any family beyond their fellow single New Yorkers — had overlooked something. I could certainly think of a few women in my own life for whom this was a non-issue, and one of them was sitting right next to me in the theatre. I refer, of course, to my sister.
