TWO drivers were seriously injured when a car and a bus collided on the A19 near Tollerton at the end of yesterday's rush hour.
Police closed the road for several hours while they dealt with the incident.
Other motorists hindered the emergency services at the scene by moving cones that were blocking the road and continuing to drive on the closed stretch of road.
North Yorkshire Police had to put out a warning to drivers.
They also appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Passengers in the bus were uninjured, but the bus driver had to be airlifted to hospital. Paramedics tended to the car driver at the scene.
The extent of his injuries and his condition are not known.
The crash happened near Tollerton at about 6pm.
The car was heading north towards Thirsk and the bus was heading towards York.
There were three passengers on the bus.
Firefighters were called to help rescue the bus driver, who was trapped in his vehicle.
He was taken to Leeds General infirmary by air ambulance.
Police shut the road and set up diversions so that they could carry out inquiries at the scene and move the vehicles.
One-and-a-half hours after the crash, North Yorkshire Police sent out a message to all drivers using the A19: "Drivers, don't move the cones and carry on driving, having to deal with cars turning up slows getting the road open".
They urged motorists to use alternative routes and check traffic reports.
A mobile police office was sent to the scene to provide shelter and support for the stranded pedestrians.
During the evening there were sudden very sharp rain showers in York.

Larenim Eye Color comes 2 grams per package. For best results, the Eye Colors are generally applied dry using the Eye Color Kabuki brush, the Camouflage Oval brush or the Blending Brush. You can also wet your brush with water first to intensify the appearance of the color. Remember that Larenim's Eye Shadows, like almost every product in the Larenim line, are designed to be flattering ON ALL AGE GROUPS! Even the more lustrous Eye Colors amaze those with mature eyelids. They appear to make the eyelid look more moist and smooth.Voted Best Natural Makeup 2008 for Eye Colour by Better Nutrition magazine.Tools Suggested: Consider having two eye brushes for applying the Larenim eyeshadow - one brush for lid color, and an eyeliner brush to use if you decide to convert colors to liquid liner. Why Larenim?Larenim makeup is actually more beautiful than traditional makeup! Larenim's minerals are light refractive. This makeup also takes on a "glow" after heating up on your skin, which creates a gorgeous, healthy appearance. Larenim mineral makeup is extremely versatile and easy to apply. Foundation, blush, bronzer, concealer, mineral silk (finishers), eye colour, and even a "Goth" collection are all available. Larenim is made from 100% minerals. Larenim is not drying, irritating or toxic to your skin. No talc, dyes, oils, or chemicals are used which cause enlarging of pores. Talc, which is similar to asbestos, can permanently stretch the pore wall and leach moisture from the skin, yet is used in most commercial makeup including those for oily skin. The minerals used by Larenim help to seal moisture in the skin while diffusing oil, and are naturally soothing and can be healing for inflamed skin. These minerals will not harbor bacteria, so they do not proliferate in our containers or on your skin.How is Larenim mineral makeup better than other mineral makeups?Many people believe that all mineral makeups are the same, but this couldn't be further from the truth. It's all about the formulation, attention to detail, and the quality of ingredients. Note these features about Larenim mineral makeup: No bismuth oxychloride which is responsible for the greasy, big pored look and the rashes that dissuade many people from continuing using other mineral makeups. Glowy finish. Some companies use dull, matte minerals which give skin a lifeless, mask-like appearance. You'll never encounter that with Larenim. Eye colors and blushes suitable for all age ranges. Most of our colors avoid the sometimes obnoxious "glitter effect" that emphasize fine lines. Instead, Larenim offers a refined luster which refracts light and appears to "de-age" eyes and cheeks. How is Larenim mineral makeup better than conventional makeup? Well, let us count the ways... 1.Non-comedogenic. Larenim mineral makeup does not block pores!2.Larenim mineral makeup contains no talc.3.Larenim mineral makeup contains no oils, no fillers, and no FD&C dyes.4.Does not "spoil." Minerals do not support bacterial growth.5.Larenim mineral makeup is easy to apply.6.It´s very natural. Larenim mineral makeup is never mask-like.7.Larenim mineral makeup gives skin a beautiful "glow."8.Not tested on animals. Larenim mineral makeup is cruelty-free.9.Made in U.S.A.10.Perfect makeup for all skin types! Larenim mineral makeup is appropriate for people :" ":word "organic" is often used with natural products. By definition, organic means "of, relating to, or derived from living organisms". Minerals, on the other hand, are considered inorganic since they are composed of non-living elements from the earth. Larenim products primarily consist of these natural, inorganic minerals. Are the powders drying?Most powders are drying due to the talc they contain. Larenim mineral makeup has no talc and actually helps trap moisture in the skin. Can Larenim mineral makeup products be used on mature or wrinkled skin? Yes. Larenim mineral makeup is light refractive which minimizes the appearance of lines and other imperfections. If your skin is dry, try moisturizing first. Wait 10 minutes until all moisturizer is absorbed before applying Larenim mineral makeup. Also, consider spritzing with a mist of heavy water or glycerin-based toner to "set" makeup and further enhance its qualities. How does Larenim mineral makeup help rosacea and post laser treatment skin? Which shade is best for concealing the redness? Larenim mineral makeup has no irritants. It has zinc oxide which is very soothing and healing for the skin. For rosacea or post laser treatment skin, try "2w", "3w", or "4w" which are yellow-based and neutralize red skin. Remember—2 or 3 thin layers of Larenim foundation are more effective than one heavy application. Or try Larenim Mineral Airbrush Pressed Foundation which has a higher coverage level. I use acne medicine. Can I combine this with Larenim products?Yes. Larenim mineral makeup is very compatible with acne medications. Larenim mineral makeup is soothing and healing. Note: Dusk ´til Dawn facial powder is excellent on acne blemishes and can be applied under foundation. The Dusk ´til Dawn Masque is a deep cleansing and purifying formula with bentonite clay, green tea extract and zinc oxide to draw out impurities, eliminate dead skin cells, help control excess oil and soothe acne prone and irritated skin. This masque is perfect for all skin types and is gentle enough to use with acne medication. Is Larenim mineral makeup good for all skin types? Absolutely! Whether you have dry, wrinkled, acne, oily or sensitive skin, Larenim products are is ideal for you! I´ve tried other mineral makeup and found my skin looked worse. It was shiny and showed big pores. How is Larenim mineral makeup different? First of all, Larenim products contain no bismuth oxychloride which can make even dry or porcelain skin look greasy and large pored. Larenim use mica to capture the radiant glow. Some mineral makeup companies use large flaked mica which winds up looking "sparkle-y" on the skin, rather than "dewy" as it should. That sparkle-look is not attractive! What quality standards does Larenim mineral makeup adhere to? Larenim mineral makeup uses only U.S. CERTIFIED COSMETIC GRADE minerals. There are many gorgeous (and inexpensive) minerals available from around the world, but Larenim chooses not to use them because they lack U.S. Approval Codes. You can rest assured that you will get only the very best approved minerals in Larenim products. Does Larenim mineral makeup have an SPF Rating? Although titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, found in Larenim foundation and blushes, are well known sun blocking agents, an SPF assessment has not been performed. I have extremely sensitive skin and have tried many makeups which claim to be hypoallergenic, but still there is irritation. How is Larenim mineral makeup different? While Larenim :" ":s display color differently. Please take this into consideration when buying the product. Thank you.)

USASA Nationals Open Class Slopestyle
By Mike Lewis
After an epic, red carpet of a bluebird day was rolled out for the halfpipe finals on Tuesday, Mother Nature decided it was time to make it interesting for the USASA Nationals Open Category Slopestyle finals. The clouds rolled in, the mercury fell, and the course stayed rock hard, but despite the firm conditions, the riders proved harder and stepped to the course.
"It's bulletproof everywhere," said Bryce Maxwell, technical supervisor for slopestyle. "It just speaks to the confidence these kids have in their tricks."
Confidence straight oozed from the men's champion, 18-year-old Silverthorne local, Brett Esser, who front 180'd to 50-50 on the first rail, switch board to 270 on the second, and nailed the triple line with a switch backside 9, front 9, and a cab 9, finishing things off with a nose press to take the $3,000 purse, adding to the grand he took home for his second place finish in Open pipe yesterday.
Anchorage, Alaska local Ryan Stassel, also 18, took home $2k for his second place finish that included a cab 9, backside 7, front 10 combo, and Minnesota's Tyler Anderson rounded out the top three.
While Eric Beauchemin, 20, out of Stratton just missed the podium, coming in 4th,, he stomped the best trick contest, called the Hot Shot Award, for his backside rodeo 7, which head judge Shawn Carney said definitely caught all the judges eyes with its unique style.
On the women's side, Ty Walker, 14, took the cake and the $2k purse for Stowe, Vermont with a backside 50/50 and boardslide on the rails, into a front 3 melon, tail grab, back 3 method combo through the booters, closing things off with a 50-50 nosepress on the bottom rail. Coming in on her heels was 11-year-old phenom Maddie Mastro from Wrightwood, California in second, and Julianne Bracket, 16, from South Lake Tahoe.
The purses were based on field sizes—events with 50 or more riders, such as the men's slope field with 64 shreds, earned top competitors $3k, $2k, $1k, comps with under 50 riders, in a group like the women with an initial 31, carried $2k, $1k, and $500 checks for the top three.

AlterEgo: DreamWalker is the sequel to the Windows Phone game AlterEgo. DreamWalker shares the retro appearance of the original and is a challenging puzzle oriented platform game.
DreamWalker has you navigating through a series of platform levels full of obstacles and monsters to collect pixels. You have a ghost image that mirrors your movements that you can swap places with to get through the levels.
Game play is simple, yet challenging and the retro graphics reminds me of the old Atari or Commodore 64 days. AlterEgo: DreamWalker is a nice continuation of the original game.

An estimated 500 taxis drove from Sydney Airport to the city on Monday morning to protest against a new law requiring drivers to wear seatbelts.
The drivers claim the law, which takes effect on Monday, leaves them more vulnerable to being attacked by passengers.
The president of the NSW Taxi Drivers Association, Anne Turner, said it was sad that the drivers' message had to be heard through the media instead of in numerous attempts to talk to the government about the laws.
"They're not listening to our voice. We want our drivers to escape freely if and when they are attacked by passengers," Ms Turner said.
"The only way we can get them to listen is by doing a convoy to stand up for our drivers' safety," she said.
NSW taxi drivers had been exempt from compulsory seatbelt laws for 41 years. But they are now required to "clip their trip".
But some drivers feel this would not enhance their safety.
Gabbie Shahrouk, a 45-year-old Sydney taxi driver from the western suburbs, has been driving for two years and has been attacked three times in 18 months.
With a wife and five children, his safety means having the money to provide for his family. He feels distressed and anxious about wearing a seatbelt.
"I'm afraid for my safety, I want to be able to escape if there's an attempt of theft, or if I'm in danger, like being attacked by a customer, or strangled by the belt," Mr Shahrouk said.
In the 2012/2013 festive season, according to Ms Turner, more than seven assaults on taxi drivers had been recorded while no accident had been reported in the same time period.
According to the general manager of the Centre for Road Safety, Marg Prendergast, there have been 5000 car crashes in the last decade, resulting in 6800 injuries and 34 deaths, seven of which were taxi drivers. Ms Prendergast said that the change in the law is to improve safety for both the driver and the front passenger.
"We've got two risks at play; the crash risk and the security risk. The crash risk is great and a seatbelt helps avoid serious injuries, skull fractures, chest and pelvic injuries. The exemption was in place because of the fear of personal security.
"However not wearing a seatbelt is not one of the strategies that they [taxi drivers] use to avoid assault. What we know is that things we're rolling out such as prepaid fares, secure taxi ranks, in-vehicle cameras and improved taxi driver training are far better measures to address those security concerns of taxi drivers," Ms Pendergast said.
According to Ms Turner, 2000 taxi drivers have signed a petition against the new law, and more convoys are scheduled to occur twice a week, every Monday and Friday morning, until a resolution to the matter is achieved.

'"I've tried to work as hard as I can using the time I have to try to mentally get prepared and that's the biggest thing," Myers said. "I don't think at this point it's anything physical. It's just getting my head straight. … It's amazing how much this game is upstairs. It's just a matter of putting my mind to it to respond like I did last year. This year, it's starting from ground zero. … Just let it build from there."'

At the heart of Christianity are absolutes. There are virtues which all Christians at all places at all times have known to be virtues. Then, there are the shifting sands around those virtues – areas of moral neutrality to which our culture may, at a given time, ascribe erroneous moral significance. When the pastor explains the shock surrounding the camel-through-needle remark, we think how foreign the ancient view is to our own. "In that age," the pastor tells us, "the rich were assumed to have favor with God. People in that culture believed that their riches were a sign that they stood in God's good graces. It was a shock to hear that those were the people in the most danger of hell." This view of wealth is not our own, so the flaw is easy enough for us to see (unless you've fallen in with the prosperity gospel crowd.)
The exercise reminds us that we have similar lenses of our own. As Lewis notes in an introduction to St. Athanasius's On the Incarnation, "Every age has its own outlook. It is specially good at seeing certain truths and specially liable to make certain mistakes." Like the ancients that attached virtue to wealth, we attach moral weight on occasions of moral neutrality more often than we realize.
This is my attempt to guess a few morally neutral qualities you treat like virtues if you're an average American.
As a disclaimer – I'm not saying that these things are secretly vices; I'm only suggesting that they may be more neutral than we tend to treat them. If it ever comes down to either upholding one of these or pursuing a biblically mandated action, and we choose these, we've entered choppy waters.
1. Correct grammar is not a virtue. I'm a writing professor, now, so I get to say with authority: a misplaced modifier is not a character flaw. The rules of the English language were not penned on stone tablets by the finger of God. Grammar is fluid, language is human. (Yes, that was a comma splice; no, I won't repent.) That isn't to say that correct communication lacks advantages. Correctness allows people to know your meaning more certainly. Yet, I firmly believe that the student who says "should of" is using language better than the grammar nazi who shuts him down. After all, how is battering people over the head with a red pen until they are so afraid they cease to write at all going to improve communication – the sole purpose for which grammar exists?
2. Promptness is not a virtue. There's a kernel of morality to it: punctuality shows care for those who could be affected by your lateness. Promptness helps the gears of commerce and culture turn more smoothly. It displays respect and preparedness. In fact, when I read that successful learning is not highly correlated to professors holding students accountable for due dates, I was shocked. Surely, encouraging promptness is the same as encouraging goodness, truth, and beauty – isn't it? Apparently, not. Now, I'm trying to comply by the research. Like good grammar, being on time can be pragmatic. It can even be, according to occasion, loving. But, it can also be a way of simply saving face. And, we can hold others to it with a certain ruthlessness, treating a human being like a cog rather than a body and mind and spirit.
3. A good GPA is not a virtue. A professor said on the first day of class, "For some of you, getting an A in this class will be morally wrong. There will be something else in your life that requires something of you; to neglect it for the sake of this A would be a sinful choice." Icky, but true. If your roommate is having a crisis of faith while you're studying for a test, stop studying, love your roommate, and take the C+. We often assume our GPA and virtue are directly correlated, possibly even identical. The tendency we have to prize school accomplishments at the expense of other accomplishments is concerning. I value education, and believe grades demonstrate some good character qualities, yet they are not identical with those qualities. The GPA doesn't always reflect the learning, and the amount of moral weight our culture ascribes to these arbitrary little points is a little creepy.
4. Wit is not a virtue. The ability to produce one-liners propels modern heroes into the spotlight. Steven Colbert is among the wittiest people on television, but his truest statements are rarely his zingers. It is a sign of my own folly that G.K. Chesterton, for all his virtuous quotations, regularly leaves me writing down those of his clever turns of phrase which lack substance (nothing against him – if a man writes that much, sometimes he'll be saying nothing). Memes that smartly debunk strawmen make people who agree with them haughty, while the people who disagree remain oversimplified, maligned, and unheard. When we hear a witty phrase, we often feel a little ashamed if it supports the side opposite our own, even if there is no substance to the claim. But the clever shall not inherit the earth. The slow to speak may have just as much to contribute, or more.
5. Politeness is not a virtue. Like promptness, politeness can be a genuine way of demonstrating love. But, it can also be our cotton candy way of making others like us. This is an insidious one, since it shuts us up and makes us feel good about ourselves as we float gently toward the abyss of the status quo. Yet, our greatest example of good Christian behavior frequently throws politeness to the wind. Christ calls people vipers and tombs and Satan and ye of little faith. It's simply not very polite. Why? If Christ is rude on occasion, there can be only one reason – because being rude can be more faithful and hopeful and loving than being polite.

Every night, Shawn Proctor faces opponents that weigh more than 10 times what he does. The more ruthless and uncontrollable they are, the better.
For what is sometimes mere seconds, the thrill of riding atop a snarling bull supersedes whatever danger or injury might result. You see, in bull riding, it's not a matter of whether you'll get hurt, but rather when and how badly.
Proctor wouldn't have it any other way.
"You've got a 150-pound cowboy against a 1,800-pound bull with no timeouts or penalties for roughing players," Proctor, 27, said. "It's all-out, and I like it. Once you get it in your system, it's hard to walk away from."
Proctor, who raises bucking bulls on his ranch near Tooele, also is an accomplished rider, having won the bull-riding competition at the Wild Rogue Pro Rodeo in Central Point, Ore., earlier this month. His total of 86 points bested the field by 5 points and earned him nearly $3,000.
Judges score each ride based on rider skill and how well the bull bucks. Each ride is scored out of 50 points, with a perfect score totaling 100. Proctor has reached the 90s before, with a high of 93, before injuries curtailed his career.
Just a year ago, Proctor wasn't sure whether he had another ride in him. Since 2009, he has undergone two surgeries on his shoulder and has joints in his foot fused together as a result of his bull-riding injuries.
Still, as he insists, it wasn't enough to simply walk away from the sport.
"It's given me confidence that after four years of injuries I can still do that," he said about his recent win. "That was my 15th bull back [since returning]. I'm going to go as hard as I can until I win a world title, or get hurt again."
For Proctor, bull riding has been a lifelong passion. It has been a part of his life since the times when he would turn over his mother's couch cushions and ride them like a bull. His uncle used to ride broncs for his career.
"My family has been involved in ranching my entire life," Proctor said. "I've always been around roping and riding horses. I used to sneak out and get on steers. When my parents found out, they said they'd support me. My mom says ever since I was a baby I've wanted to do it. I used to watch rodeo more than cartoons."
Perhaps his crowning achievement came in 2008, when he placed seventh in the world in the National Finals Rodeo. He also placed fourth in the state and made nationals as a high-school junior, won two circuit rodeo finals and has competed in the Dodge National Circuit Finals twice.
Fresh off a night of bucking in Moab, Proctor hopped in his car and drove to Oregon on June 1 to compete in the rodeo there. It wasn't until he arrived that he discovered what bull he'd be riding for his one-shot opportunity.
"You get one shot to win some money," he said. "If not, you jump back in the car and go to the next one. If you win, you've got money in your pocket."
Proctor will continue competing in rodeos, with some upcoming in Delta, Cedar City, Pleasant Grove, Reno and Oregon. A rider's accumulated winnings qualify him to compete in each rodeo, so he knows he has his work cut out.
"Everything is unpredictable," he said. "You can't think you know how to ride the bull because they have a mind of their own. That's the challenge of it."

NEW YORK - "Mike Wallace is here to see you."
The "60 Minutes" newsman had such a fearsome reputation that it was often said that those were the most dreaded words in the English language, capable of reducing an interview subject to a shaking, sweating mess.
Wallace, who won his 21st and final Emmy Award at 89, died Saturday in the New Canaan, Conn., care facility where he had lived the last few years of his life. He was 93.
Wallace didn't just interview people. He interrogated them. He cross-examined them. Sometimes he eviscerated them pitilessly. His weapons were many: thorough research, a cocked eyebrow, a skeptical "Come on" and a question so direct it took your breath away.
He was well aware that his reputation arrived at an interview before he did, said Jeff Fager, CBS News chairman and Wallace's longtime producer at "60 Minutes."
"He loved it," Fager said Sunday. "He loved that part of Mike Wallace. He loved being Mike Wallace. He loved the fact that if he showed up for an interview, it made people nervous. ... He knew, and he knew that everybody else knew, that he was going to get to the truth. And that's what motivated him."
Wallace made "60 Minutes" compulsively watchable, television's first newsmagazine that became appointment viewing on Sunday nights. His last interview, in January 2008, was with Roger Clemens on his alleged steroid use. Slowed by a triple bypass later that month and the ravages of time on a once-sharp mind, he retired from public life.
Another "60 Minutes" veteran, Morley Safer, paid tribute to his former colleague on the newsmagazine Sunday. Safer said Wallace specialized in villains - charming them to appear on the show and then getting them to reveal their true stripes.
"He was a kind of one-man truth squad, a man with a remarkable gift for getting to the very core of a story," Safer said. "60 Minutes" plans a full tribute to Wallace next Sunday.
During the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, Wallace asked Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini - then a feared figure - what he thought about being called "a lunatic" by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Khomeini answered by predicting Sadat's assassination.
Late in his career, he interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin, and challenged him: "This isn't a real democracy, come on!" Putin's aides tried to halt the interview; Putin said he was the president, he'll decide what to do.
"Many people who weathered a Mike Wallace interview grew to respect him greatly and, you know, have great regard for him because I don't recall anybody ever saying to me, `He took a cheap shot' or `He did the obvious,' or that he was, you know, playing some kind of game," Fox News Channel Chairman Roger Ailes said on Sunday. "He actually was trying to serve the audience, and that's what made him great."
When a Wallace story found little to back up rumors that Coors beer executives were racist, the relieved company took out newspaper ads trumpeting that it had survived. The ad's top: "The four most dreaded words in the English language: Mike Wallace is here."
He was equally tough on public and private behavior. In 1973, with the Watergate scandal growing, he sat with top Nixon aide John Ehrlichman and read a long list of alleged crimes, from money laundering to obstructing justice. "All of this," Wallace noted, "by the law-and-order administration of Richard Nixon."
The surly Ehrlichman could only respond: "Is there a question in there somewhere?"
In the early 1990s, Wallace reduced Barbra Streisand to tears as he scolded her for being "totally self-absorbed" when she was young and mocked her decades of psychoanalysis. "What is it she is trying to find out that takes 20 years?" Wallace wondered.
"I'm a slow learner," Streisand told him.
"He was hands down the best television interviewer ever," said Steve Kroft, his former "60 Minutes" colleague. "I can't think of anyone, besides (CBS legend Edward R.) Murrow, who had a greater influence in shaping television journalism."
"60 Minutes" pioneered the use of "ambush interviews," with reporter and camera crew corralling alleged wrongdoers in parking lots, hallways, wherever a comment - or at least a stricken expression - might be harvested from someone dodging reporters' phone calls. Wallace once went after a medical laboratory offering Medicaid kickbacks to doctors in this fashion.
They were phased out after founding executive producer Don Hewitt termed them "showbiz baloney." "Finally I said, `Hey, kid, maybe it's time to retire that trenchcoat,"' Hewitt recalled.
Wallace's late colleague Harry Reasoner once said, "There is one thing that Mike can do better than anybody else: With an angelic smile, he can ask a question that would get anyone else smashed in the face."
As a young producer at the CBS' New York affiliate, Fager first dealt with Wallace when he had to cut down one of the reporter's stories to 90 seconds for a broadcast.
"I was scared of him and intimidated by him," he said. "He knew it and he would just make you more miserable. That was Mike. He always had a twinkle in his eye, and even if you were intimidated by him, it was hard not to love him."
Wallace was hired when Hewitt put together the staff of "60 Minutes" at its inception in 1968. The show wasn't a hit at first, but worked its way up to the top 10 in the 1977-78 season and remained there year after year. Among other things, it proved there could be big profits in TV journalism. It remains the most popular newsmagazine on TV.
Wallace said he didn't think he had an unfair advantage over his interview subjects: "The person I'm interviewing has not been subpoenaed. He's in charge of himself, and he lives with his subject matter every day. All I'm armed with is research."
In addition to his Emmys, Wallace won five DuPont-Columbia journalism and five Peabody awards. In all, his television career spanned six decades.
In the mid-1950s came his smoke-wreathed "Night Beat," a series of one-on-one interviews with everyone from an elderly Frank Lloyd Wright to a young Henry Kissinger that began on local TV in New York and then appeared on the ABC network. It was the show that first brought Wallace fame as a hard-boiled interviewer, a "Mike Malice" who rarely cut his subjects any slack.
He said it was the death of his 19-year-old son Peter in an accident in 1962 that made him decide to stick to serious journalism from then on. (Another son, Chris, followed his father and became a broadcast journalist. He anchors "Fox News Sunday" on Fox broadcast.)

SILVANA — Nearly 150 people plan to gather this weekend to celebrate memories of a school that hasn't existed for 54 years. The youngest of the last of Silvana Grade School's students are now 60 years old.
An all-classes Silvana School Reunion is set for noon to 5 p.m. Sunday at Viking Hall on Pioneer Highway.
It's only the second such reunion for Silvana and probably is its last, considering the ages of most former students, said Don Brekhus, 72, of Camano Island, the chairman of the reunion organizing committee.
"It's going to be a celebration of history," said Brekhus, who, with his twin sister, was in a class of six children.
Most of the school founders were Scandinavian immigrants who settled up the Stillaguamish River from Stanwood, Brekhus said. Among them was his great-grandfather. Later, Brekhus' grandfather served on the Silvana School Board while Brekhus' father was a student. Brekhus and his siblings also went to Silvana School. The Brekhus story is common among the many families who've called Silvana home for many generations.
Those who plan to go to the reunion Sunday remember climbing the stairs of their two-story school building, built in 1914. For the next 45 years, an annual group photo was taken on the front steps.
A group shot is planned at the reunion, which also will honor the oldest person attending and the person who has traveled the farthest.
Along with Brekhus, the reunion committee includes Judy Anderson McBride, Delores Brekhus Thorson, Eugene Elefson, Margie Lovgreen McGhan, Robin Monson Sather, Eldon Nysether, Gerald Nysether, Margaret Nysether Ames, Mary Nysether, Audrey Peterson Knutson, Dennis Reese, Ron Rosenbach, Yolanda Rosenbach Larsen, Alic Sneve Jacobs, Liv Storwick Owens, Margit Storwick Gibbons and Marie Storwick Hutchings.
Liv Storwick Owens, 76, of Arlington, attended the school during a time when her mother, Evangeline Ness Storwick, taught first grade there.
"My parents met at a dance at Viking Hall in Silvana and they loved the community," Owens said. "I remember one day yelling 'Mom!' in front of the whole class and I got teased for it. Today, I am proud of it. My parents attended the reunion in 1978 and I'm glad I will be here for this one."
Yolanda Rosenbach Larsen, also 76, of Arlington and the mother of U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, was a relative late-comer to Silvana, having moved there with her family from Nebraska. Her father worked as the school's janitor for a time.
Larsen and Owens remember putting on plays together at the school.
"Plays that had no end," Owens remembered with a laugh. "We also had music, sports and 4-H. Life in Silvana was school, church, Sons of Norway and community basket socials. At the end-of-the-year school picnic, we all got a bottle of pop. That was special."
Many community activities took place at the school.
"It was such a great old building," Larsen said. "I remember how it creaked and groaned in the mornings."
Robin Monson Sather, 71, represents the fifth of seven generations of her family who have lived in Silvana. One great-great grandfather arrived in the Stillaguamish River valley from Portugal in 1800s and married a woman from the Stillaguamish tribe. Another great-great grandfather came from Norway at about the same time.
Sather's grandfather and her mother worked as postmasters in Silvana for many years. Sather's dad served in the fire department. Her family was part of the group that started the Silvana Fair.
"I am thrilled to have lived here all my life. It's an honor to be in this community," Sather said. "I can't wait for all the old school photos to be displayed on Sunday and for the people in their 80s and 90s to tell their stories."

1978 — The school bell is returned to the community, and former students and teachers attend the first Silvana School reunion.
2013 — The school's second — and possibly last — reunion is Sunday.
All former Silvana School students and their families are encouraged to attend a reunion at noon Sunday at Viking Hall, 1331 Pioneer Highway. More information, 360-652-7220.

Like she might want to have a baby Friday afternoon and be back at her co-host spot by Monday morning fast. According to The NY Post, Katie Couric is in talks to replace Guthrie while Guthrie is on maternity leave. Savannah probably thinks she doesn't have anything to worry about, but Deborah Norville thought the same thing. And what happened to Deborah Norville? Producers say this would just be a temporary thing and it would probably give Today a ratings boost. What if that ratings boost gets them past Good Morning America? Are the producers going to say goodbye to Katie and hope they can keep the lead when Savannah returns or are they going to try and get Katie to come back full-time?

Nearly 1,500 square feet of storage space atop a bakery and parking garage was the starting point for this apartment by Robert M. Gurney, FAIA. Along the way he also had to contend with the historic Washington, D.C., neighborhood's building restrictions—no alterations to windows, exterior walls, or ceiling heights. Even muntin profiles are prescribed. "The owner likes modern architecture," Gurney explains, "but we had to work with the existing character of the building."
Other decisions were also dictated by existing conditions—a foot-thick wall and 30-inch difference in floor height, for example, determined the division between private and public space. On one side are the bedroom, bath, and office; on the other is the combination living/dining/kitchen area. Wanting the multipurpose room as open as possible, Gurney treated the kitchen like "a furniture element inserted into the overall bigger space." A floor-to-ceiling bank of maple cabinets serves as the backdrop for the public area while creating a vestibule for the entry. Opposite the cabinets, an island provides additional base storage and expanses of workspace flanking the sink. A mahogany column supports a ½-inch-thick plane of aluminum hovering above the island. A perforated metal panel hides the sink and echoes the stainless steel backsplash above the range. Stainless steel appliances continue the theme of exposed metal, but thick Burlington stone counters and Brazilian cherry floors add earthier elements to the light, bright palette.
"The kitchen is front line and center, so we used materials to enrich the space within the white brick walls," Gurney says. Because the ceiling couldn't be raised, Gurney decided to highlight its low, sloping lines as a composition. A skylight spanning the length of the kitchen is lined with mahogany. And Galvalume covers the kitchen volume to suggest the rawness of the original space. Dropped maple panels float away from the corrugated metal, indicating a change in function from kitchen to living area. The abundance of smooth, rich finishes counteracts the rough brick walls and transforms the former storeroom into an urbane dwelling.

Beyond the Limit of Darkness and Light →
Naruto's Ninja Handbook (爆発!これぞナルト忍法帖~~っ!!, Bakuhatsu! Korezo Naruto Ninpōchō~~!!) is episode 78 of the original Naruto anime.
Gaara is angry with Naruto since he isn't giving him the challenge he wanted from someone who would protect his friends so much. Angered, Naruto attacks, using his shadow clones to get close to the base of Gaara's tail, where there isn't any defence. Naruto wraps a kunai with a paper bomb and uses One Thousand Years of Death with the kunai and paper bomb, Gaara knocks Naruto away and the bomb explodes, causing Gaara's form to deteriorate and weakening him. Sasuke tells Naruto to save Sakura, and that Sasuke would be able to hold off Gaara long enough for Sakura to escape. Remembering what Haku said to him in the Land of Waves, he realises that Gaara is exactly like him, carrying all the hatred and loneliness that Naruto had to. Repeating his vow to save Sakura and Sasuke, Naruto gathers up all his remaining chakra and summons 1000 shadow clones, to the amazement of everyone.
Naruto tells Sasuke to stay back, and Sasuke asks if that is the same Naruto. The thousand clones all attack Gaara at the same time, getting close enough to use Naruto Uzumaki Combo with all of his clones, sending Gaara crashing into the ground and infuriating him. Gaara roars that he would never lose to "a guy like him", and transforms into his full Shukaku form, to the horror of Temari. Gaara notes that he never thought Naruto would bring out the demon in him, and uses his Sand Binding Coffin on Naruto. Right before Gaara is about to crush him, Naruto manages to use the Summoning Technique and summons Gamabunta.
Gaara laughs and says Naruto never fails to amaze him. Gamabunta in unhappy about being summoned by Naruto, and sees Gaara in his true form, remarking that he is Shukaku the Sand Spirit. Naruto asks if Gamabunta will fight with him, and Gamabunta tells Naruto to "take a hike". Naruto freaks out, yelling that Gamabunta made Naruto his henchmen in their last encounter, and Gamabunta says that they haven't sealed the deal yet. Before they can argue anymore, Gamakichi tells Gamabunta to hear Naruto out, calling him "pops". Gamakichi tells his father that Gaara was picking on him, and that Naruto came to his rescue. Gamabunta is furious, and leaps into battle with Gaara, using his knife to cut off one of Gaara's arms. Gaara rages, and then manifests his human form onto the Shukaku's forehead. Gamabunta remarks that Gaara hasn't had any sleep his entire life since he has the Shukaku sealed inside him, and that if he did, the Shukaku would eat away at Gaara's soul.
Gaara uses the Feigning Sleep Technique and forces himself to fall asleep, bringing out the Shukaku and drastically increasing his power. The Shukaku is overjoyed at being free, and it and Gamabunta exchange their air and water style attacks, and Gamabunta says they have no chance unless they make Gaara wake up. Gamabunta tries to grab onto the Shukaku for Naruto to get close enough to hit Gaara, but he cannot hold on. Gamabunta says that he doesn't have any claws or teeth to hold onto the Shukaku with, and tells Naruto to use a combo transformation to transform them into something that has what they need. Gamabunta charges at the Shukaku, and Naruto manages to transform them just in time, turning them into the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

whats the difference between these 2 programs? they appear to be the same program.
also does packet sniffing need to be done in monitor mode, or does it just have to be promiscuous mode, or both??
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
i just looked it up, from what i got was that in monitor mode you can capture packets without being associated with an access point, in promiscuous mode you have to be associated with the access point in order to capture packets from it, and correct me if im wrong but both promiscuous and monitor mode capture all packets even if they aren't directed at the network device.
I still dont get the difference between wireshark and wireshark wifi, i looked at the menu shortcuts and i guess that wireshark wifi starts in monitor mode for packet injection? is this correct?
so in order to capture packets successfully using say kismet, i need to be in both promiscuous and monitor mode?
I would say that just a quick look at the tools section of the wiki and it becomes obvious what the difference is.
Wireshark is a GUI network protocol analyzer. It lets you interactively browse packet data from a live network or from a previously saved capture file. Wireshark's native capture file format is libpcap format, which is also the format used by tcp- dump and various other tools.
Wireshark Wifi
Wireshark with Wifi Injection Patch allows the user to select a packet opened with wireshark and edit it and reinject throught LORCON injection library.
so in order to capture packets successfully using say kismet, i need to be in both promiscuous and monitor mode?

SAN BERNARDINO -- Police gang enforcement officers arrested an armed man after a short foot pursuit that ended with a wheelchair bound woman going to the hospital.
Joaquin Johnson, 27 of San Bernardino, was arrested by police around 6:30 Wednesday evening accused of being a felon in possession of a firearm, with gang enhancements, police said..
Officers with the gang enforcement unit known as San Bernardino Movement Against Street Hoodlums (SMASH) tried to talk to him for allegedly blocking traffic with his bicycle in the 300 block of W. 13th Street, police officials said.
Johnson fled on his bicycle from officers heading southbound on the sidewalk of Arrowhead Avenue.
Jacelyn Halloway, 44 of San Bernardino, who was in a wheelchair, was being pushed by her daughter on the same sidewalk.
Johnson collided into Halloway's wheelchair and knocked her to the ground, while attempting to evade the officers on his bicycle, police officials said.
Johnson got up following the collision, ran and allegedly tossed a loaded 9mm handgun into a yard in the 1200 block of N. Arrowhead Avenue, prior to being captured by pursuing gang enforcement officers, police said.
Johnson, who police say is a local gang member, was arrested and booked into the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.
Halloway was transported to a local hospital complaining of pain in her back as a result of the collision. Police say she is in fair condition.
Authorities filed the case with the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office to determine if additional charges will be filed for injuries caused to Halloway, police said.

On the home page down the left hand side there is a section called 'from other websites' - how are these websites generated?
If i tick 'Australian content' - it still seems to bring up (mostly) results from America, and/or Amazon.com, are these results searched through google.com.au (or searched how?) if i have ticked 'aussie content'? If do the same search outside trove in aussie google or bing, i get much different results and more importantly, more relavent results.
Also, my own website/blog is pretty well established within google and comes up well for the name Gambrill - is there a way i can submit my sites so that it has a chance of coming up within the 'from other websites'

Reading Level: Ages 10 - 14
On July 17, 1944, an explosion at the Port Chicago naval base in California killed over 300 people and sank two ships. All the men loading bombs and ammunition onto ships were black. All supervising officers were white. Black sailors who had never received proper training in the handling of munitions were afraid and refused to go back to work on the docks. Some gave in under pressure from the navy until only 50 men held fast. They were brought up on charges of mutiny, a charge that could mean the death penalty. Sheinkin has crafted another book that brings history to life. You'll be outraged, but you'll cheer for 50 new heroes in the fight for equal rights.

That was a really interesting idea. And it makes sense. Sadly, I just
tried it and it doesn't seem to work for me. Just to make sure I understood
you correctly, I set up the following firewall rule on both firewalls:
<descr>IPSec Path MTU Correction</descr>
I don't know if the following impacts this, but earlier I turned on "Allow
fragmented IPSec packets" on both m0n0walls. Perhaps, by setting that, I
turned PMTUD off?

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
Any questions? Didn't think so. Because after a season in which the soft guy proved tough enough and the German who couldn't lead in fact led, the best player in franchise history kicked his critics in their skeptical crotches with a memorable season in which he won a championship, NBA Finals MVP, a couple of ESPYs and — oh yeah — another relatively useless Observer award. Dwyane Wade and LeBron James tried to make fun of Dirk's feverish cough in the finals, but after an onslaught of lefty layups and flamingo fadeaways the player for years deemed not quite good enough is finally the best.
The older they grow, the better they age. While their few critics call it monotonous redundancy, their legion of P1 fans are convinced it's classic tradition. On the air together since 1994, the most consistently entertaining and highest-rated show on sports talk radio belongs to George Dunham, Craig Miller and Gordon Keith, weekdays 5:30-10 a.m. on The Ticket. It's about sports. It's about life. It's about guys being guys. It's — most important — about domination. Dunham & Miller are at this point basically lapping the field in Arbitron ratings. Every hour their show attracts twice the ratings as the offerings of ESPN-103.3 FM and KRLD-105.3 FM The Fan. Combined. Over the years they've developed the perfect recipe for morning radio with tasty pinches of interviews, topical headlines via "Muse in the News" and heady, though sometimes homerish takes across our sports smorgasbord.
If you're an aspiring boxer hell-bent on blood, sweat and tears, get your ass down to old-school Doug's Gym on Commerce Street. For the rest of us — ahhhh — to the paradise with the palm trees. The Lifetime Fitness on Highway 121 in McKinney is like a five-star resort, complete with more than enough amenities to serve us peculiar, pampered types who want the contradictory experience of working out in total comfort. Ya know, no pain; no pain. There are indoor and outdoor pools; a café with full-service bar; a spa resplendent in cosmetic services; courts for basketball, racquetball and squash; locker rooms with free towels and big-screen televisions; a computer center; financial services; even a rock-climbing wall and water slides for the kids. Oh yeah, and they got some weights up in there, too. All that for like $100 a month. So we ask you, why not just live here?
The impetus behind the raucous run by Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks last spring? Um, turns out there was a girl in the boys' room. But not that kind. This kind: Throughout the playoffs Dr. Mary Collings laid her healing hands upon Dirk's aching back in a crack-ya-bones sorta chiropractic way. But Collings, a '93 graduate of Dallas' Parker College and founder of Las Colinas Spine & Sports Medicine and a second office in Highland Park, didn't just work her magic on Dirk. Last year alone she treated the Stars, Cowboys punter Mat McBriar, ESPN's Darren Woodson, PGA player Brandt Jobe, actor Chuck Norris, singer Alanis Morissette and even the Highland Park High School "Belles" drill team. During the Mavs' playoff push and into the NBA Finals, Nowitzki and guard J.J. Barea were weekly visitors to Collings' office.
There's a museum in the back, behind glass — quite the collection of old cards, catcher's masks and Civil War-era bats. And then there are the rows and rows and rows of cards, sleeved and stacked for cardboard-box browsing and shopping. And shop you will: Here, history's affordable, sometimes as low as 50 cents per bubble-gum memory. We shop here regularly, three generations of card collectors: the grandfather who worshiped men named Koufax and Mays; the son whose idols were Harvey Martin and Jim Sundberg; the youngest one for whom any guy in a uniform on a card is considered a hero. Each of us never fails to find something during each trip. Bonus: Nick's is kind of like a sports-lottery ticket-seller too, peddling unwrapped packs for a few bucks each, some of which contain rare autographs, pieces of uniforms or other invaluable keepsakes. Buy the ticket; only thing missing is the sunburn.
Despite an often maddening kamikaze style that keeps him hovering around the disabled list and his preposterous claim, er, excuse that he struggles in day games because of his blue eyes — Cal Ripken Jr., anyone? — there is no doubt that the reigning AL MVP is the most talented and mesmerizing baseball player in town. When Hamilton was gone for five weeks with a broken shoulder, the Rangers were the model of mediocrity. With him in the lineup saving runs with his arm and generating them with his bat, Texas again looks like a team capable of going to the World Series.

Hi BCOOL,
I am in Australia and I have a 740Li with the same issue. I run the 20'wheels and BMW have tried 3 sets, balanced 4 times, re rolled the rims, still same issue. It has had over 4 weeks in the shop and I am so embarrased. We have owned 13 BMW from M3's, M5 and everything in between. The dealer knows there is an issue but BMW Australia tell us it is a characteristic of the car!!! Well this is a load of bull. We are so dissapointed with the "Premium BMW"It has become everything NON BMW we have ever known. My father says there is nothing we can really do about it but it is really pissing me off. I have sent a link to this forum to the dealer and I am not leting this one go. I didn't buy a cheap Korean car I bought the top of the line BMW and are getting treated like crap. Let me know anyone else if you have had a similar problem and how you have fixed it! We have tried 18"wheels and it was the same.
I was a devoted BMW fan but not anymore. They don't deserve our business.
I just got my 2009 750Li with sport package back from the dealer for the second time on Friday. I must say that I was very pessimistic about whether or not they would actually be able to find anything wrong based on what I've been reading. However, after a 2 day software update that included transmission program changes, the car no longer vibrates when shifting at 30 and at 40 mph. It also doesn't hesitate or get the jerking to-and-fro motion at constant speeds anymore. They even had a BMW technician drive the car with me, and they had a representative from the BMW corporate offices following the problem with me. They also offered me new tires at no cost which would have replaced the Pirelli's with Goodyears. I declined this offer (for now) as I think the Pirelli's are fine. From what I've read, any run flat tire will have some issues when cold after not being driven for a while. To my suprise, the car is performing flawlessly. They really fixed it!!! The tires seem fine with no detectable shimmy either...even when they are cold. This software update is new, so I hope it helps everyone who has had the same problem finally get some satisfaction. The car really is a dream when it's running perfectly.
Talked to the service manager few weeks ago 2/8/2010 and he apolgized for all the delays and thanked for my incredible patience.
He informed that b/c some other 750i's have similiar vibration issue to some extent it is a non fixable repair!?!?!? Of course I told him that it is not acceptable...period. I recently test drove the 750Li and it is smooth. BMW responded: "sir...that is a not the same car b/c it is built on a different platform/chassis, so not fair to compare". HUH??? In fact the demo that was provided on my original test drive the day I took delivery was an 750Li and was clearly told that it is the exact same car but only 6"shorter and will drive the exact same. Obviously it does not. Regardless, isn't it reasonable to expect that an 750i should drive as smooth as 3 or 5 series?
The service manager admitted such things such as my car is exhibiting vibration/shimmy to a greater extent than others. When I asked if he would accept it if it were his car, he replied "No i would not". He said he told BMW Canada he can't fix it . He told me he would talk to BMW Canada to suggest they do a buy back or trade assist. I have no faith in BMW Canada as the last correspondence the customer rep hung up on me"thank you for your time..click" ,when I said this is not acceptable!
Waiting patiently, the service manager finally got back to me 2.5 weeks later which was today 2/25/2010 but just left a msg. I called back but was only able to leave a msg also. Really desperately hope this gets resolved soon.
Btw I did have meeting w my lawyer few days ago. He strongly recommend I exhaust all efforts before he takes over b/c it would be more favorable in front of the courts.
Oh yes, on a side note....during the conversation the service manager said "i need to get the courtesy car back sometime soon" . I responded "how about my brand new 750i back FIXED or replaced asap?" He responded " oh yes totally understand" btw I got an x3 with no nav, bluetooth etc... . No offence x3 owners but I think I rather drive the 7 .
I just don't understand it. Through the years I have always found BMW to be an incredible company to deal with and have always seen them do the correct thing. I am at a loss for words.
Whatever is going on either with your dealer, your lawyer or BMW of Canada, I would suggest a change in direction. What you are doing is not working and something is wrong somewhere, IMHO.
Good luck and I hope this gets resolved shortly. Your patience is greater than mine, by a long shot!
If BMW Canada have no ideas surely they should be contacting Munich??
I'd try emailing BMW Germany and put them in the loop and try to force BMW Canada's hand??
firstname.lastname@example.com this is BMW AG customer email so straight to Munich it will go (I think???)
Me to had a similar problem but apparently it's not an issue anymore, please read here:

My wife has a 09 750Li that we picked up in Oct. I've only driven the car 3-4x and have been disappointed with the ride and stupid e-throttle/transmission every time. I noticed a slight vibration going down the road at 50-60 today and attributed it to the run flats but after reading this thread I'm not so sure. Having had a 03 745Li, I can tell you this 09 doesn't ride nearly as nice as my old 7. Is it possible the rear wheel steering is contributing to the problem? Maybe alignment shifts under load and makes the rear end squirrely within a certain speed range? It would explain the seat of the pants feel vs steering wheel shimmy.

Ok guys than how do you explain what I went through over the weekend? We put on the normal tyres and I did not have any vibration at all. However I decided to stick with the run flats as the vinration is very very slight, not something you will feel right away unless your a car nut like myself. I also did have a seat in my friends 07 730Li which also uses run flats and he had the same issue and at the same speed like mine.

Since my BMW service team already tried 3 new sets of tires and different wheel combinations etc..., it is quite evident it is a different problem. Nonetheless, really glad to hear your are satisfied and enjoying your 7. Really wish I can say the same . I got a new shocking update but I got to run for now and will post later.
For your info, mine does not have rear wheel steering.
Will post in the next day or so some shocking info...just have to head out in few minutes.
Thanks Ian_L...that sounds like a plan.
I got some shocking stuff to share but it might be kinda of longer post so I will share very soon.
To everyone reading...I just want to say thank you for all your encouragement and great input. Kinda feel sorry that this post is of a negative nature and not of a joyful one as many of the posts are. So..I sincerely thank YOU.
As Asaseaben wisely stated, no one should have to pay for a premium car as it sits in the shop with no fault of their own. I really starting to wonder why on earth BMW will not own up or man up also. Is this another denial/conspiracy like Toyota? Hmmmm. Sure smells like it.
Obviously lot of happy owners with flawless cars out there but dang this is a nightmare indeed. 4 months in the shop now? PLEASE hang in there and please give us that update. I also concur BMW 100% should give you a new car and full compensation of the crap you have to go thru!
Hope you enjoy the gold medal game as I am (writing this during 2nd period intermission): Canada 2 USA 1 end of 2nd!!

Let me tell you that you are 100% not hullicinating b/c some of the cars including mine are doing the same thing which is not only abnormal but completely annoying. Please keep us up to date.
I am writing an update in which I will try my best not to do in anger.
I got a call yesterday from BMW Autowest Service Manager telling me to come pick up my car b/c they need the courtesy car back and there is nothing more they can do.
Their conclusion is that the vibration problem is a normal characteristic of the 750i!!!
BUT at the same time admit mine has a more intense shimmy/vibration!?!??!
So...BMW wants me the customer to figure how to fix it on my own?!?!?!
Today I went to pick up my car and went on a road test with the service manager. He concurs that the vibration/shimmy is obvious and noticeable. He also admitted during the road test that as a former mechanic he feels it was a huge letdown not to be able to fix this issue.
He says now that he has delivered the car back to me, he can now fight for me with BMW Canada. Hmmmm...why not before?!?!
This one big nightmare!! But wait it gets better. I noticed that the car has over 300kms on it since I brought it in and when I asked the service manager he just looked embarrassed. He said probably went on lot of road tests. But 300kms?!?! Least of my concerns right now so let it go.
THen as soon as I get home I notice a door ding on the rear passenger side door. I called right away and l/m w the service manager. Then...later on after dinner I noticed my dvd's were missing from trunk that I had placed there to watch. I called and left message w service manager just now and asked him to tell whoever 'borrowed' my dvd's to return them BUT now I am wondering if someone took up my car for pleasure b/c things are not adding up.
Did you seek your lawyer's advise before taking the car back? Personally, i think you've made a big mistake taking the car back. The dealership DID acknowledge your car had vibration/shimmy problem and that's why they kept it in the shop for all these months. You should NOT have accepted the car untill it was fixed.
Also, you should have done a thorough inspection of your car and reported any damages/missing items, etc to the manager/foremen and refuse taking the car back untill the damage has being fixed and/or your missing items return.
I'm afraid the manager lied to you. He had a better chance fighting for you when the car was in his possession than now that it is in your possession.
You really need to sit down with your lawyer and straighten things out because now that you've taken the car back it is assume that you're satisfied with the condition the car is in.
If the dealership wanted their loaner back that bad, you could've jump into a rental and tell the dealership to either fix your car or replace it. You'll not accept the car untill the acknowledge vibration/shimmy problem has being fixed.
I don't mean to jump on you or be hash but i hate when people take advantage of nice people like you. The dealership and the rest of BMW reps recognized you were patient and kind so they ran over you.
Unless you have prove of your DVDs being in the car at the time you drop it off, i doubt you can win this one.
300kms is a lot of miles just for testing but looking at how long the car has being in the shop i can see the dealership making a justification for this.
You NEED to make this a legal issue in order for BMW HQs or BMW NA or NHSB or whomever the big people are to be aware of this problem.
If all these TOYOTA drivers have being nice and patient as you have being i don't think TOYOTA would've own up to any of these major issues.
Please fight on behalf for the rest of F01/02 owners having these vibration problems.
Good luck and may the gods be with ya

It is 8:45am and just got call from service manager so I think it is appropriate to give update based on my last posting.
I told him how I 100% know I have dvd's in my trunk(I bought 2 copies of certain titles: 1 for car and 1 for home). He said most likely that when they cleaned the car they forgot to put it back. I responded that is reasonable explanation. He told that they of course will take care of the door ding and replace the dvd's.
Told him let's focus on the main issue at hand. Told him as our road test I drove the car last night and seriously feel the ride is if one of the wheels is damaged or loose b/c the car wobbles so much. He said "yes, I know". I said I am trusting you are really going to fight for me otherwise I like to know pretty quick so I can pursue the other route/course of action. He assured me he will for sure , since he went on a road test with me yesterday and acknowledges the vehicle noticeablu is more intense shimmy/vibration than other 750i. So he will contact BMW Canada. Told him ok I will wait to here from shortly.
In all honesty, I know lawsuit maybe inevitable but I am strong believer in going that route as the absolutely last resort and thankfully I have a lawyer who agrees with that ideology.
Will keep you posted!
I really appreciate your wisdom and sincere advice. The car is going in for the door ding repair soon anyways but you maybe right, perhaps the service manager is not being truthful. I kind of always wondered when he tells me stuff like 'yes, i would not accept it if it were my car' and then BMW Canada says that service manager concludes this is normal characteristic!?!
At least now I got him to promise to fight. Btw I got records of all our conversations which proves everything that the service manager said. In Canada the laws allows us to record conversations as long as one party knows the conversation is being recorded.
But you are right on to continue to fight b/c this is 100% unacceptable. This car serious feels is one of the wheels is about to fall off or one of the wheels is seriously damaged.
So i guess they gonna give you a loaner whilst they try to fix the dang in the shop? Didn't they ask for the loaner back only to give it to you back?
Well, enjoy life and don't let this whole car fiasco hold you back.
BTW, i took my car in today for reprogram (ref. "defect code 0061130300") you may wanna ask your dealership to lookup your VIN and see if your ride is affected and get the car reprogam. I'm also getting the latest navigation map and nav OS update (which is not free) but for all the troubles you've being thru maybe the manager will be nice enough to throw those updates in there for free.
Take care and be good

I hope I am NOT being too naive and trusting. At the same time, I have detailed records so at the end of the day..the truth will be revealed. Just thinking also, guys like you Asaseabean keep me encouraged, so....thank you.

I have a radical idea. Why don't you buy/lease a 2010/2011 F01 from the dealership and sell your F01 to them? You'll probably be making the same payment on the new ride as you are making on the existing ride that you're not enjoying.
If the dealership refuse to buy your F01 because they're aware of the severe vibration/shimmy problem...try another dealership. Buy a new F01 from them so they can buy your F01 and let them deal with the vibration/shimmy problem or they can sell it to someone else who maynot care about the vibration/shimmy problem.
What d'ya think?

Perhaps maybe I can pick up a 2011 to my liking and get BMW to pony up the difference in regards to all costs OR if I pay the difference perhaps it will be very concrete as in quantifiable damages that I suffered and easier for my lawyer to litigate.
If you have other radical brilliant ideas...please do share . You gave me some things to think about this weekend indeed.
Never imagined this post will turn out the way it has. Never imagined a car could stress me out . Never imagined the car company that I have always loved is now treating me this way.
This ordeal has been one HUGE ball of frustration. Over the past 4 months I have had countless people ask me if I work for BMW b/c the loaners has these stickers with "BMW AUTO WEST" written on both sides.
I have never had this kind of problem with any car that I have had. I have always read and heard about these kind of nightmare stories and now it has happened to me .
This car is sooo beautiful looking but I am sooo sad that this paticular one shakes and shimmy's abnormally. I hope and pray one day I can post positive comments like the rest of you good people.
Have a great and blessed weekend in the meantime and will keep you posted!!
I just got off the phone with my SA and he informed me that the recall for "defect code 0061130300***8207;" is to fix the vibration problem. I don't how true this is but i'm curious to find out so if you could, please contact your SA and schedule a service appointment for them to fix that recall...which is basically a reprogramming of the car. As you know BMW is more electronics than mechanical so this software update/reprogram MAY fix the vibration problem indeed.
For what it's worth, i recommend you call another dealership (not the one you're currently dealing with...i've lost faith in them already) and enquire about any recall campaign for your F01 (gve then your VIN). There should be atleast two (that i'm aware of); one for the drive belt guard cover and one for defect code 0061130300***8207;.
My SA also told me that the reprogramming/software for my car has being crashing all day (which is typical) and they're hoping it'll install/reprogram successfully by Monday. I have a nice X5 loaner without any company logo or courtesy markings on it so i'm going to enjoy that for the weekend.
Incase anyone is interested, i'm getting the latest Navigation map updates (6 disk total according to my SA) and the the Navigation OS update loaded for $170. Not bad compare to when i use to buy NavTeq map updates for $199.

Fox Dismisses Experts' Conclusion That Gitmo's Existence Helps Terrorists' Causes
Research ››› ››› ZACHARY PLEAT
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade dismissed the assertions of interrogation experts and those familiar with the Guantánamo Bay military commission system that keeping the prison open and holding trials there help terrorist organizations recruit more members.
Fox Dismisses Idea That Guantanamo Is Helping Terrorists
Kilmeade Ridicules Idea That "Gitmo Makes Us Look Bad." Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade ridiculed the idea that the Guantánamo prison is a national security problem for the U.S.:
KILMEADE: They're going to go, "We're going to decide to change our policy on letting these Gitmo detainees go back to Yemen." You know when they go back to Yemen they go to prison, and suddenly they end up tunneled out and disappeared. So we're going to get the worst of the worst they wouldn't even take them back, and we're going to send them back to that prison where the bars are made of papier-mâché. And they're going to end up with us.
And the president is going to have an explanation to the next people that they kill: "Yeah, I let them go because Gitmo makes us look bad." Do you know anyone that's attacked us because we imprison the people that are trying to kill us? [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 5/23/13]
But Experts Say That Guantánamo Helps Terrorists' Causes, Hurts America's Image
Former Chief Prosecutor Of Military Commissions At Guantánamo Bay: Obama Is Right That Prison Serves As "Recruitment Tool For Extremists." In a May 2 Guardian op-ed, Morris Davis, who formerly served as the chief prosecutor of the military commissions at Guantánamo, agreed with President Obama that the prison is a recruiting tool for terrorists, calling it "a stain on America's reputation":
I am going to say something I have not said as often as I would have liked: I agree with President Obama. Despite indications to the contrary -- such as fighting me tooth and nail in court the past three years (and counting) over my firing by the Library of Congress for writing op-eds critical of his and President Bush's detainee policies - he apparently came to the same realization I had several years ago that, in his words, "we've got to close Guantánamo."
At a press conference on Tuesday, the president said that Guantánamo is unnecessary to keep America safe; it is expensive and inefficient; it diminishes the standing of the United States in the international community; it hampers cooperation with allies on counterterrorism efforts; and it serves as a recruitment tool for extremists. He is right on all counts. How, then, could anyone find an upside to perpetuating the Guantánamo fiasco? [The Guardian, 5/2/13]
Senior Air Force Interrogator: "The No. 1 Reason Foreign Fighters Flocked [To Iraq] Were The Abuses Carried Out At Abu Ghraib And Guantánamo." An Air Force interrogator who successfully tracked down Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, wrote in a 2008 Washington Post op-ed that abuses of prisons in Guantánamo Bay and other prisons contributed to the flow of terrorists fighting U.S. forces in Iraq:
Torture and abuse are against my moral fabric. The cliche still bears repeating: Such outrages are inconsistent with American principles. And then there's the pragmatic side: Torture and abuse cost American lives.
I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Our policy of torture was directly and swiftly recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda in Iraq. The large majority of suicide bombings in Iraq are still carried out by these foreigners. They are also involved in most of the attacks on U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq. It's no exaggeration to say that at least half of our losses and casualties in that country have come at the hands of foreigners who joined the fray because of our program of detainee abuse. The number of U.S. soldiers who have died because of our torture policy will never be definitively known, but it is fair to say that it is close to the number of lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. [The Washington Post, 11/30/08]
Former Navy General Counsel: High-Ranking Officers Believed That Use Of Guantánamo Led To U.S. Deaths In Iraq. During congressional testimony on detainee interrogation in June 2008, former Navy general counsel Alberto Mora said:
MORA: [S]ome U.S. flag-rank officers maintain that the first and second identifiable causes of U.S. combat deaths in Iraq -- as judged by their effectiveness in recruiting insurgent fighters into combat -- are, respectively, the symbols of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. [ThinkProgress, 6/17/08]
Center For Strategic & International Studies: Guantánamo Bay Provided Terrorists With A "Propaganda Windfall That Enables Recruitment To Violence." In a September 2008 study on the Guantánamo Bay prison, the Center for Strategic & International Studies "concluded that the United States has been damaged by Guantánamo beyond any immediate security benefits. Our enemies have achieved a propaganda windfall that enables recruitment to violence." [Center for Strategic & International Studies, "Closing Guantanamo: From Bumper Sticker to Blueprint", September 2008]
Fox Has Previously Denied Gitmo's Effect As Terrorist Recruiting Tool
Fox's Hume On Gitmo As A Recruiting Tool: "Where's The Evidence Of That?" Responding to a suggestion that terrorist groups will no longer be able to point to U.S. interrogation techniques to boost recruitment if the torture at the Guantánamo Bay prison was stopped, Hume stated: "Oh, as a recruiting tool? Where's the evidence of that?" [Fox Broadcasting Co., Fox News Sunday, 4/19/09, via Media Matters]
Coulter Falsehood: "No Evidence" Guantánamo "Has Served As A Recruiting Tool." Appearing on Fox News' Hannity, Ann Coulter asserted that "all liberals are saying ... that Guantánamo has served as a recruiting tool for terrorists," but "they certainly have no evidence for it." [Fox News, Hannity, 5/21/09, via Media Matters]
Fox News Sunday's Wallace: "I Have Never Felt That Guantánamo Was This Huge Recruiting Tool." Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace said that "I'd love to know the specific proof that the Obama administration or anyone has that Guantánamo is a recruiting tool" for terrorists and added: "I have never felt that Guantánamo was this huge recruiting tool and the main reason for -- that -- the reason they hate us." [Fox News Radio's Brian & The Judge, 5/22/09, via Media Matters]

Daily Caller Asks Its Readers To Help Advance National Rifle Association Agenda
The Daily Caller has again strayed into ethically murky waters concerning its relationship with the National Rifle Association. A September 5 post [1] in the online publication's "Guns and Gears" section urges its readers to help the NRA identify businesses that may be violating a Texas law forcing [2] most private employers to allow guns on company property.
In fact the post, titled "Texas: Please Help The NRA-ILA Identify Non-Compliance Among Employers on One-Year Anniversary of Texas Parking Lot/Employee Protection Law," is copied verbatim [3] from a NRA Institute for Legislative Action press release.
The Caller is asking its readers to submit evidence of noncompliance, including copies of employee handbooks, directly to the NRA:
In order to comply with this law's provisions, most employers in the state have amended their policies to allow the transportation and storage of firearms in locked, employee-owned motor vehicles parked on company-controlled parking lots. However, the NRA needs your help to ensure that no hard-working, law-abiding Texans remain disenfranchised by employers who refuse to abide by this law. Please notify the NRA-ILA by email of any examples of company policies that continue to violate the spirit and intent of the statute (if possible, please provide a scanned copy of the actual policy from your employee handbook) and any instances of employees being disciplined or terminated under such policies.
Please contact NRA-ILA at firstname.lastname@example.com [4] about alleged violations of this law. We have already received information about companies that are misinterpreting the law or ignoring it altogether. The NRA-ILA will monitor and investigate those situations to ensure that your rights under the Parking Lot/ Employee Protection law are protected. [emphasis in original]
What the NRA plans to do with information about Texas employers is unclear. But it is certain that The Daily Caller, a self-described news outlet, should be reporting the news rather than supporting a special interest group's legislative agenda.
The NRA and Daily Caller have worked in tandem since the launch [5] of the "Guns and Gear" section -- featuring NRA press releases, opinion pieces and advertisements -- in December 2011. In May, "Guns and Gear" editor Mike Piccione appeared on NRA News and promised to give a free gun [6] to a Caller subscriber who joined the NRA. Last month, the Caller offered its readers discounted [7] NRA memberships. The NRA has also used the "Guns and Gear" section to promote [8] conspiracy [9] theories [10] related to the Obama administration.

Hunter Hayes to attempt record concert run for charity
Listen to Hunter Hayes on iHeartRadio
Hunter Hayes has a long day ahead of him. The country star launched his "24 Hour Road Race to End Child Hunger" with an appearance on Friday's "Good Morning America." His performance on the ABC morning show is the first of a planned run of ten concerts in ten cities over the next 24 hours. Hunter admits it's going to be a challenge.
But Hunter admits he doesn't really care if he has no voice by the end of the run, as long as everyone involved "has fun" and knows it's "going to be crazy." He adds that there's a lot of energy and passion surrounding the event, because it "has a purpose."
Hayes is using his "Road Race" to draw attention to the issue of child hunger. And if he completes the run as scheduled the singer will also set a new Guinness World Record for the most concerts played in different cities in a 24-hour period.
Fans will be able to monitor Hunter's progress over the course of his run. He has a "Hunter Race Tracker" posted on his website, which will map out his route as he makes his way through the Northeastern U.S. carrying out his mission.
The singer is also getting a little help from some other artists. Dan + Shay, Charlie Worsham, and The Railers are among those who'll be performing with Hunter at select shows.
