Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Hello and thanks for choosing Just Answer®. I am a licensed Central Florida attorney, and I will be glad to try and assist you.
To provide you with accurate information, could you please clarify these points so I can best address your inquiry:
Once I hear back from you, I will be glad to let you know my answer. There may be some delay as I am assisting other customers or am away from my computer. Please rest assured, however, that I will get back to you as soon as possible.
I wrote it all down, and sent. Then the request for county, etc. came up and you got only this. Oh well. Time is short to go through it all again. Basically I bought a Nissan JUKE and it was NOT the car wanted. It was an AWD, not a FWD (which the salesman knew for more than a week I was looking to buy). This means my reason for buying, to get better gas mileage than a mini-van, did not happen. Space in the rear for storage was taken away by the extra tire because the AWD forced it to be higher up in the rear. There are more details; but what can be done other than calling Nissan headquarters to open a "case" which I did. They will call dealer today, they said. Salesman deceived and placed an extended warranty of $1479 on contract without asking me. My answer is always NO to that. I returned one night and had that removed from contract. Salesman and sales manager are not talking to me. What is my next step? Is there fraud? Deciete? Salesman commented that with sale, they would meet their quota for the week! What can be done?
There is a theory of law that suggests you can return a vehicle if the buyer was misled as to a material fact. For example, if you clearly stated that you needed to get at least 25 mph and were told that the car got 25 but actually only gets 20, you may have a cause of action.
To that end, did you clearly state your requirements for the car? If so, were you misled by the salesman?
Thank you.
This is a very interesting point, Joseph. I will look into it further as it appears to apply in this case.
Thank you very much.
To expand on the Info Request, you need to consider the conversations between yourself and the salesman. If you clearly and unequivocally stated certain necessary requirements, you may have an issue. Having said that, it can't be a situation where you simply stated that you were interested in certain things. By this I mean, if you simply said, "I would like to get about 25 mph", that certainly would not suffice. For the theory to apply, the statements would need to be much more clear.
I hope you found my answer helpful. If so, please click on the green ACCEPT for my answer. This is necessary for me to be paid for my work and so that I can get credit for assisting you. Even if you are a subscription member, you will need to click ACCEPT. Your question will not close, and you will still have the opportunity to follow-up if needed. Leaving a bonus and positive feedback is not required, but doing so is certainly appreciated! Thank you and good luck!
Also, several customers have asked how they may direct a question to me in particular. If you specifically want me to assist you in your legal matter, just put "FOR JOSEPH" in the subject line and I will gladly pick up the question as soon as I am on-line.
I am going off-line for the evening. Please feel free to respond, if necessary, and know that I will be back on-line tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience.

GSA Renews Commitment to Enhancing Public Spaces
September 13, 2007
Contact: Maryanne Beatty, (202) 501-1231
Melissa Williams ,(202)501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Services Administration, manager of 8,600 federal properties across the nation and steward of 425 historic landmarks, has published a new workbook to help guide GSA property managers on how to enhance public spaces in federal buildings.
"Federal buildings in many communities are the government's most prominent representative, a symbol of democracy," said David Winstead, Commissioner for GSA's Public Buildings Service. "It's important that these spaces are accessible to the public and that they convey a positive image of the federal government."
GSA produced, "Achieving Great Federal Public Spaces—A Property Manager's Guide" in collaboration with the Project for Public Spaces. The workbook provides GSA property managers with a step-by-step process on how to enhance public spaces such as plazas, lobbies, atria and grounds. It suggests short, medium, and long-term improvements — from actions as simple as reducing clutter and inviting civic organizations to use public spaces for activities and events, to more elaborate measures such as buildings enhancements, including the streamlining of the security process in lobbies.
"When managed effectively, these spaces support neighborhood goals and play an important role in how our client agencies view their workplaces," commented Anthony Costa, Deputy Commissioner for Public Buildings. "It is in our collective interests that we make the most of our public spaces."
The centerpiece of the publication is the "Place Audit," a detailed on-site evaluation exercise that property managers may complete with various stakeholders, including building tenants and members of the community. The audit reveals strengths and weaknesses and offers solutions on how to maximize the use of a property's public spaces.
The workbook is based on the premise that GSA's buildings and public spaces should reflect the dignity and accessibility of government; be secure and welcoming; improve tenant satisfaction and building revenue; provide a forum for tenant activity and public use; and act as a catalyst for downtown revitalization.
To learn more about how GSA is working with communities, visit www.gsa.gov/urbandevelopment. To download a copy of the guide, go to www.gsa.gov/agfps.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA has a presence in over 2,000 American communities, including 500 cities with federal buildings and 70 cities with more than one million square feet of GSA-managed space.

Josh Beckett returned to Red Sox camp in Fort Myers, Fla., Tuesday less than 24 hours after he was accidently hit in the head with a ball during batting practice before the game against the Minnesota Twins.
"I just got checked and I'm definitely feeling better today than I did yesterday," Beckett said. "That's encouraging, but I don't know where we go from here. I feel better today. I feel like I got hit in the head. Getting rid of the headaches I had yesterday is probably good."
Beckett, who was diagnosed with a mild concussion, will not participate in any drills and was told not to watch too much television as he recovers from a concussion.
The former All-Star pitcher was in the outfield shagging balls when he was hit. Coaching assistant Ian Guerrero hit a ball that was directed towards a bucket behind second base, instead hitting Beckett above the left ear.
"You go through a bunch of different emotions," said Beckett. "First you're pissed because you don't know what happened. Then I tried to walk and I got real dizzy. I kind of took a knee. You kind of go through everything. I really didn't even know what happened. I didn't know if I got hit by a ball from another field or what. I had no idea what happened."
Beckett was scheduled to have a bullpen session on Thursday, but that will likely be pushed back.
"He'll be evaluated again tomorrow and we'll see where that leads him," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "In regards to his start, we'll do what's in his best interest. If he can start, good, and if he can't we can either push him back or have him throw a side."
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

Jewellery chain
The company on Thursday reported total sales for the three months to the end of September up 12.8 per cent from a year earlier to $NZ95.4 million ($73.48 million).
Australian same store sales lifted 11.5 per cent to $NZ63.3 million, with all store sales up 11.1 per cent to $NZ64.1 million.
In New Zealand, same store and all store sales grew 19 per cent to $NZ20.8 million.
In Canada same store sales lifted 20.9 per cent to $NZ7.6 million and all stores were up 26.3 per cent to $NZ8.5 million. In the United States, where eight stores were closed in June, same store sales lifted 17.5 per cent to $NZ1.9 million, with sales down 27 per cent in total.
In local currencies, Australian same store sales lifted 9.5 per cent, in Canada the rise was 22.6 per cent and in the US it was 26.5 per cent.
Chairman Michael Hill said the company was "very satisfied" with the gains made in all markets, even though the effects of the global financial crisis were still being felt in the corresponding quarter in 2009.
The second quarter was the most critical trading period for the group, so the next three months trade would largely determine the result for the 2010-11 year, Mr Hill said.
The first-quarter figures represented two months accounting adjusted sales results plus September preliminary sales figures before final accounting adjustments.

(This article appeared previously on MarketWatch.com.)
Before we start to rely on something, we often want to see how it will react under stress — whether it's a bridge, a baby stroller or a rocket.
We should be able to see how our portfolios will react under stress, says Daniel Satchkov, a chartered financial analyst and president of RiXtrema, a risk modeling and consulting firm that focuses on extreme financial-market events and has built a portfolio crash-testing service.
(MORE: Why Risk Tolerance Is Overrated)
"Risk is not some separate thing you can dial up or dial down," Satchkov said. "Risk is really a cost that you are paying to get the return that you need."
Some of the risks are ongoing and permanent and some are transient and related to the news of the day, such as the crisis in Ukraine.
"The idea is to focus on an event that could hurt you," Satchkov said. "Even if you think it's not likely, that's deceiving. If it can hurt you badly, more than you are willing to bear, then you should reconsider that exposure."
"There should be no prediction of specific events and certainly no timing prediction," he said.
So, for example, let's say you had a portfolio with 50 percent invested in a security that tracked the S&P 500 index and 50 percent invested in security that tracked the U.S. investment-grade bond markets as defined by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index.

Associated Press
OLYMPIA — More than two dozen Washington state troopers were sworn in at a ceremony at the Capitol.
Among the 27 troopers who graduated Wednesday from the Washington State Patrol Academy was Johnna Batiste, the 25-year-old daughter of Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste. The graduating troopers completed more than 1,000 hours of training and are from across the state, ranging from Olympia to Spokane. After being sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Mary Fairhurst, the troopers were presented their commission cards by Batiste and Gov. Jay Inslee.
The widow of Washington State Patrol Trooper Sean O'Connell, who was killed in detoured traffic in Conway on May 31 when his motorcycle collided with a truck, was also in attendance and presented one of the graduating troopers, Brandon Baird, with the Core Values Award.

Undergraduate Program:
Biology and Zoology Majors
Understanding the complexity of life has been one of humanity's greatest quests. The School of Biological Sciences (SBS) offers courses and research experiences to help students understand diverse aspects of life, ranging from molecular biology to ecology and evolution. The School of Biological Sciences offers undergraduate majors in biology and zoology. Both of these degrees will provide the following:
- A strong foundation in biology.
- The opportunity for each student to shape a program of study through the selection of electives.
- Opportunities to conduct independent research with SBS faculty and experience practical internships.
- Skills that are built through diverse experiences in the classroom, laboratory, and field.
The biology and zoology majors provide students with background and skills that are necessary for a wide variety of jobs, ranging from biotechnology industry to health care to resource management. Our majors provide students with the courses and knowledge to pursue professional studies in medical, veterinary, and physical therapy schools. Similarly, our majors provide students with the stepping stones essential for entry into graduate schools to obtain M.S. or Ph.D. degrees.
The biology major is built around core courses in biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, evolution, and genetics. We offer five options for biology majors that allow students to pick among different programs of interest.
- The general option provides students with the greatest latitude to shape their own programs of study.
- The botany, entomology, and ecology and evolution options of the biology major direct students select appropriate courses to develop a strong background in these disciplines.
- The education option prepares students to enter a teaching career in secondary education in biology and related areas.
The zoology major aims to provide students with knowledge and experience in the biology of animals. The major is built around core courses in ecology, evolution, and genetics. Students are expected also to select from courses in anatomy, physiology, and invertebrate biology. Opportunities for elective courses allow students to specialize in different areas of zoology.
For students interested in health science professions, we offer degree options to provide coursework and experiences essential to enter professional schools. Our zoology major offers options for students interested in medical/dental school and veterinary school. For students interested in professions as a physical therapist, occupational therapist or physician's assistant, we offer an option of the biology major.
If you have questions about the biology or zoology majors, please feel free to contact us. You are welcome to come by the office of the School of Biological Sciences in 312 Abelson Hall on the Pullman campus or contact one of the following individuals by email:
Justine Rupp (firstname.lastname@example.com), Undergraduate Coordinator for SBS
Tina Krauss (email@example.com), Undergraduate Coordinator for SBS
Pat Carter (firstname.lastname@example.com), Associate Professor and Associate Director for the Undergraduate Program in SBS

It took 2,173 possible names, and nine months of labour, to deliver Shomi.
In developing the Netflix-like video service to serve viewers moving away from traditional TV, Rogers Communications Inc. and Shaw Communications Inc. had to create a brand from scratch.
Agencies that specialize in brand naming often do months of consumer research, and pick through thousands of names, before choosing one.
Rogers and Shaw narrowed down the list through consumer feedback, as well as checking for any trademark violations, before landing on two finalists. Rogers would not disclose the other finalist.
Two other names that were under consideration, however, were Camio and Curio.
The logo's purple colour palette represents "energy," said Rogers chief brand officer, Dale Hooper.
"We were lucky it happened to bring together our two brands' colours [Rogers' red and Shaw's blue]."
The companies worked with Toronto-based Level5 Strategy Group on the brand, and Method Design in New York on the visual design.
The logo includes a yellow cursor at the end of the name, which is intended to invite a conversation, Mr. Hooper said, the way one would approach a concierge for recommendations.
As for the name itself – while to some it may evoke a goofy elderly uncle more than a cutting-edge digital video service – it is meant to connote amusement. Hence the unusual spelling.
"The personality of the brand is all about being witty and genuine, and fun, and just different," Mr. Hooper explained. "It is very human."
The companies will market the new service heavily once it launches in November. That includes ads online, on TV, radio, in print and outdoors.
"We are two of the biggest media companies," Mr. Hooper said, "and you'll see this across all of our platforms."Report Typo/Error

Timbaland is suing over a $1.8 million watch.
According to TMZ, the singer filed a claim with his insurance company after his expensive watch went missing two years ago. His insurance company never honored the claim and now Timbaland is suing the American Home Assurance Company.
Timbaland reportedly paid more than $50,000 to take out on insurance policy to cover some of his expensive belongings. The singer claims that his 18k white gold watch, which was covered in 30 carats of diamonds, was one of the items covered under the policy.
Timbaland says that the watch was lost when his two-year-old daughter started using the $1.8 million watch as a toy. Timbaland says that the little girl "picked [the watch] up and played with it until she became bored and discarded it somewhere."
Hot New Hip Hop reports that Timbaland filed a police report in August 2010 after the watch went missing. At the time, the singer said that he knew someone had stolen the watch. The singer doesn't believe that the watch was stolen anymore but he does believe that the insurance company should fork over $1.8 million, plus the cost of attorney's fees.
Do you think the insurance company should pay Timbaland for the lost watch? Or maybe the singer should just hire a cleaning company to scour his home for the $1.8 million watch.

Citation: Hanson, B.D., Gerik, J.S., Schneider, S.M. 2006. Evaluation of Reduced Methyl Bromide Rates and Alternative Fumigants in Field Grown Perennial Crop Nurseries. Proceedings of International Research Conference on Methyl Bromide Alternatives, pgs. 126-1 - 126-4, Orlando, Florida, 2006. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Preplant fumigation with methyl bromide (MeBr) has commonly been used in field grown ornamental crops to provide broad-spectrum control of plant parasitic nematodes, soil-borne disease pathogens, and weed propagules. In California field nursery production, nematode-free certification requires a minimum of 300 lb/A MeBr in sandy soils or 400 lb/A in clay loam soils (33.6 or 44.8 g/m2). Many producers use a standard preplant fumigation treatment of 350 lbs/A (39 g/m2 MeBr) of the 98:2 MeBr:chloropicrin (PIC) formulation. MBTOC standard presumptions for recent evaluations of critical use nominations (CUN) suggest that reduced rates of 26 g/m2 for nutsedge and 20 g/m2 for pathogens and other weeds should be effective where low permeability barrier films (LPBF, ie VIF) are not available. Where LPBF is available, MBTOC standard presumptions suggest that MeBr rates of 17.5 and 15 g/m2 should provide effective control of nutsedge and pathogens, respectively. Currently, California regulatory agencies do not permit use of low permeability barrier films in soil fumigation and relatively little research has been done under local conditions to determine the efficacy of reduced MeBr rates for control of nematodes, pathogens, and weeds under local conditions. In this on-going research, preliminary data suggests that, on the weeds and pathogens present, reduced MeBr rates provide similar control to the standard treatment.


text: I have a customer that has a two story home with brick veneer. House was built 11 years ago. All of the windows & doors have caulking that has completely pulled away from the windows/doors & is stuck to the brick. About 50% of the windows sills are buckled (warped & wavy) & the bottom corners are smashed in. In looking at the brick work it appears that the brick is settling (1" or more). Some of the gaps in between the windows & the bricks are 3/8"+. It also appears that the bricks are pulling away from the house. Several of the windows lintels are severly rusted and the mortar joints don't line up (of by 1/2"+). The windows are vinyl clad wood with a nailing flange. All my previous R&R experience has been with wood (brickmold) windows in brick. How would you go about removing the windows w/o removing the brick? As I'm looking at this more and more I think something is seriously wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. Customer also has a lot of water damage over two bay windows. I think it is from the flashing that was cut into the brick & the sealant has failed. I have not looked at it up close yet so I'm not sure.

US PC Gamer - Skyrim #2 Game of All Time
wtf? :/
and no mention of the Gothics or Starcraft (original) or Fallout 1/2 or XCOM or Baldur's Gate 1/2…
Yet both of the Mass Effects make the top 100.
sigh… maybe it is time to save some money and stop the corporate welfare err subscription ….
Arcanum and Torment appearances are somewhat assuaging…
It feels like way too early to put Skyrim on the list. While Skyrim was a great game, the mark of an outstanding game is its lasting appeal, years after it was first made.
What got first place? WoW?
Do you really want to know? ;)
Spoiler – Not Pretty
I don't remember that being wildly popular when it was released, let alone being greatest evah.
I could see WoW, maybe. Sure, we make fun of it, but it probably did more to bring computer gaming to the masses than anything before or since and the media loves them some Blizzard. Maybe Doom for "inventing" the fps genre. BG for saving the rpg genre. Realistically, Tetris and Bejeweled would have to rank highly for their impact, popularity, and longevity. Civilization.
I understand that lists like this have to be somehow controversial to generate interest and thus sales, but there's a difference between "controversial" and "f-in' stupid".
Yep, I have this need to point out the blatantly stupid. It just annoys me to death.
can someone provide a link?
I guess this must be an older article because it's not on the first few pages of posts on the site.
EDIT: or is it a print article?
Yeah, it's a print article. But there is an online version of the magazine.
Here is a link to it, but not sure if it will work for you. I hope I am not violating copyright laws. There is no warning on the page
This list judges by what criteria? Advertising purchases? I loves me some Skyrim, but 2nd all time?
Advertising purchases is the #1 criterion in commercial media. ;)
Basically, it's a list of the top 100 games that the editors would recommend right now. It's NOT a list of the top 100 games for their time. You've also got to remember that there are only five of these guys and they aren't exactly the oldest guys in gaming.
Still, there are some odd things. Planescape and Arcanum got on the list but Baldur's Gate didn't?
The only two game adverstisements in the entire magazine were for World of Tanks (didn't make the list) and Jagged Alliance: Back in Action (Jagged Alliance 2 got number 69). The vast majority of their adverts are for hardware sales.
We only go forward.Skyrim is better than Arcanum and Torment in the gameplay stakes.
Skyrim is far too young to be in that slot.
As much as I love Skyrim, I don't get why people think it is fundamentally different than Oblivion. Scaling is less blatant and the world is more interesting, but that is simply evolutionary from Oblivion. And yet Oblivion is scorned by most…
Less blatant scaling = fun
blatant scaling = boring
Wtf? Why are we even wasting time on those lists!
Is it a mystery? not really. There are a couple of factors to consider here (Note that I am speaking in how I perceive why I feel so different about the two games):
1) The psychological: Oblivion followed Morrowind and based on expectations created by that game the blatant scaling, over streamlining of several elements and generic fantasy blandness of the world (and art direction) shocked a lot of people. Also the backlash created by the unbelievably positive initial reviews and the trend that followed it (bash Oblivion, you can!) probably have something to do Its different with Skyrim, it only had to improve in several key factors in regards to its derided predecessor and it did! Also most of us had already made peace with the fact that a deep and meaningful RPG (either in writing or mechanics) is not something that Bethesda is interested in producing anymore which brings us to number:
2) Practically speaking Oblivion kinda sucked for the kind of game that Bethesda is trying to make (a huge, interesting, immersive open world that sustains the illusion of life enough to keep you playing, ignoring the repetitiveness of its content). It did so because the world was boring, flat, I've seen it all a hundred times, and the in your face scaling and blatantly cookie cutter reused content was so obvious that it destroyed the suspension of disbelief in mere hours. Why would I want to keep playing in that world if it felt so stilted and dead? wasn't for the RPG or the content
In the end it comes down to an individual's levels of tolerance. In Skyrim the important elements for this kind of game (interesting world and location design and layout, art direction and all the little enviromental touches in the cities and the wild that promote atmosphere and immersion) were very significantly improved.While the worst offenders that made the predecessor less interesting were alleviated in a sufficient degree that they don't break immersion and make the gameplay much more engaging and fun. So as this specific type of game Skyrim succeeds were Oblivion failed, imo.
It goes without saying that all the improvements would not hit other people's requirements or priorities or it is fundamentally a different kind of game they like. Those will of course hate S as much as O and should already be aware that they need to look elsewhere for their RPG experience
Wow that was wordy :biggrin: apologies
P.S yeah lets do the game of all time discussion in a decade or so shall we. Much as I like it though I cannot see it entering my top ten then too
Or instead of writing that wall of text I could have read through the thread and done this:
Skyrim is not "fundamentally" different than Oblivion, it's just executed with far more care.
Oblivion FELT like a randomly generated world, where as Skyrim feels a lot more handcrafted.
Character development is infinitely more interesting with perks, and natural in terms of how you level up. You don't have to "game" the system to optimise.
The presentation is much better, especially when interacting with NPCs. They don't "feel" like strange robotic clones - and the world doesn't "pause" when you interact. They tend to deliver a performance that corresponds to what's going on - rather than the strange "recording room" stuff in Oblivion/Fallout 3.
Animations are much better as well, which was always a weak part of Bethesda games. Third person mode is fully playable and pleasant now.
The amount of unique content is staggering.
Stealth/archery is better than any other RPG out there.
I prefer the new approach to magic (unique spells) - but I don't think anyone can argue that it doesn't look much better. Morrowind and Oblivion had some really boring/dreary visual effects for magic. Skyrim is fantastic in comparison.
Voice acting is better and much more varied.
The dragon shouts are cool toys - and the dragons themselves are definitely the best implementation of that creature in any computer game. Not perfect (too easy in vanilla) - but pretty damn impressive.
Writing is more consistent and (in my opinion) much better. They've toned down the "insane" humor and silly stuff a lot - which I think was a very good decision. I wouldn't call it "great" - but it's certainly good writing considering the norm.
They introduced crafting, which is a big deal in huge open world RPGs like this. I don't think they did it particularly well - but it's much better than nothing.
It might seem minor, but I think the combat music is truly fantastic - and really helps to set the mood and get the adrenaline going. Some of the exploration music is also really well done.
The most visually immersive RPG I know of. The game is just beautiful. The Witcher 2 was somewhat better looking, but it didn't feel "big" and I couldn't quite immerse myself - given the lack of a first person perspective.
The level scaling is less blatant and pervasive. It's still there (and I will always hate it) - but you do get to experience the progression in power to a greater extent.
I could go on.
Skyrim is just better in every important way. It's the game I wanted Oblivion and Morrowind to be.
It's the best game I've ever played.
I'm playing Oblivion now and concentrating on guild quests. Coupled with the graphics improvements (Qarls + shaded extenders) I'm finding the Vanilla experience pretty similar. Perhaps because I'm playing a heavy armor battle Mage I'm not bothered by the scaling since my misc skills are being developed and as a consequence I'm leveling slowly. I've also found quite a few high level constant effect items in some remote locations, which surprised me a bit. Maybe the universal bashing over the years has created some selective memories?
I played both and it was pretty much scaling that wrecked Oblivion for me for a variety of issues (sense of progression, bandits in glass armor, etc.)
I prefer the graphics in Skyrim as well as the more hand-crafted feel. But Dart pretty much summed up a lot of it.

Riding the coattails of the Lancer Evo X, the 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander GT promises superior handling and performance in a midsize SUV. And although it sports the same big, jet fighter grille and an advanced all-wheel-drive system, it doesn't quite measure up to the ferocity of its rally-bred little brother, or to high-power SUVs such as the BMW X5 M or Porsche Cayenne.
Instead, the Outlander GT fits a niche occupied by the Subaru Forester. It works as a light SUV that can handle slippery conditions very well. Unlike its Subaru competition, the Outlander GT offers advanced, if unrefined, cabin tech features that compare well with models from much larger automakers.
It has the same five-passenger-plus-cargo interior room capacity as other crossover/SUVs on the market, but the exterior looks smaller. The large grille gives it an unconventional appearance, and contoured and curved lines more resemble sports car styling language than any sort of truck heritage. Doing away with a flat cargo floor maximizes space in the rear, but also makes unloading a bit more difficult.
Voice-controlled iPod
The only factory option for the Outlander GT is the $3,000 Navigation and Leather package, which brings a hard-drive-based navigation system into the dash and wraps the seats in leather. The navigation system enhances the stereo with onboard music storage on the hard drive, but the Outlander GT boasts an advanced stereo system even without the navigation option.
Standard in the Outlander GT is what Mitsubishi calls Fuse, an iPod adaptor and Bluetooth phone system with voice command comparable to Ford's Sync system. We plugged an iPod into the console-mounted USB port, and after Fuse scanned the music library, we were able to verbally request music by artist, album, genre, or song name.
We asked for music from new bands, such as Blitzen Trapper, and tried older artist names, requesting David Bowie, for example. Each time, the system unerringly recognized and played our choice. More impressive, we had edited the album name for a set of songs, creating our own custom album name. Fuse even recognized and played this custom album name.
Fuse also encompasses the Outlander GT's Bluetooth-streaming audio and phone system. We paired an iPhone to the system, and it downloaded the phone's contact list, making it available on the phone menu screen. Likewise, we were able to play music from the iPhone through the Bluetooth connection to the car's audio system.
Like Fuse, another standard feature in the Outlander GT is the Rockford Fosgate audio system. Among its nine speakers is a 10-inch subwoofer mounted in the cargo area, which gets power from a 710-watt amp and delivers outstanding bass. We tested the system with heavy bass tracks that shake the door panels off of lesser cars, but in the Outlander GT the heaviest drum strikes and electronically manufactured low frequencies came through with no distortion and or rattle.
Higher frequencies and vocals fared reasonably well due to the high-powered amplification, but the response was not as high as for bass. Lighter tracks disappeared into the barrage of sound coming from the speakers, and vocals lacked emphasis.
Audio adjustments include the usual bass, treble, mid, balance, and fader, but Rockford Fosgate adds its own setting called Punch, a unique digital signal processor that pumps the sound a bit without distorting or raising the volume. Another Rockford Fosgate feature is sound fields, echo effects that simulate large and small halls, and a live performance.
Having the navigation option makes it easy to choose music from an attached iPod or satellite radio, or change the audio settings using the touch screen. Using a hard drive to store its maps, this navigation system performs route calculations and responds to destination inputs quickly. Its most advanced feature is traffic data integration, which it uses to dynamically adjust routing to avoid major incidents.
But the navigation system does not have much else going for it. The maps are strictly 2D, and it reads out road names only for numbered highways and freeways. One feature we liked was its capability to direct us to HOV lanes.
Given the navigation system's LCD, we were surprised to find that a rear view camera system was not available, something that would be of great benefit in this vehicle. The Outlander GT lacks other driver assistance options, too, such as blind-spot detection.
Super All Wheel Control
Mitsubishi does not favor big, high-displacement engines, which is why the Outlander GT gets a 3-liter V-6 using Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable-valve timing. Although not as efficient as newer, direct-injection engines, this V-6 provides more-than-adequate power for the Outlander GT. Two-hundred and thirty horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque may not sound like much, but when we stepped on the gas the car accelerated smartly.
But that engine does not justify the GT trim name, as the Outlander XLS gets the same power plant. Lesser-trim Outlanders get a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.

THE top game of the week in the first division of the York and District Table Tennis League was a 5-5 draw between Coneysthorpe 'B' and second-placed York RI 'A', writes Dave Quinlan.
James Rule picked up a treble for Coneysthorpe and York RI needed an extremely tight doubles victory to salvage a draw.
Leaders Coneysthorpe 'A' took advantage with Martin Lowe and Ashley Hodgson on top form in an 8-2 defeat of University 'A'. Holgate 'A' showed no mercy, with John Farmery and Aidan Ranftler unbeaten in a 9-1 thrashing of York RI 'C'.
In division two, Holgate 'B' remain top after three wins from Martin Hood and Mick Kenyon in a 9-1 victory over Tramways, while Nathan Taylor and Andy Fletcher helped title rivals Shepherds 'A' to a 9-1 triumph over Bootham 'B'.
Bootham 'D' remain above the relegation zone with a hard-fought 6-4 win over Holgate 'C' 6-4, Dave Quinlan contributing a treble.
The top of division three is unchanged. University 'B' thrashed Holgate 'D' 9-1 with Jack Kelly and Alex McCarthy unbeaten, while Bootham 'E' stayed in second place thanks to maximums from Jan Suchecki and Pete Corner in an 8-2 victory against Burnholme 'A'.
BT 'B' shocked their 'A' team in a 7-3 victory, with Jim Stevenson undefeated. Burnholme 'B' still lead division four but were pushed hard by Trustmarque, only confirming their victory in the final doubles set. Terry Ruane contributed a treble for Burnholme.

Spelunky Review
With every trendy indie fan on the planet losing their minds over Spelunky it would be easy to believe that it's the most earth shatteringly inventive game ever made and that it redefines the way we think about game design. Well, it isn't and it doesn't. But it is still a great game. First released as a freeware PC title in 2008 and now lovingly remade on Xbox with shiny new graphics, better music and added extras like new characters and a multiplayer mode, Spelunky is a very clever blend of retro platformer and Roguelike. Every level is randomly generated. There are no extra lives. And the aim is, simply, to get to the end without dying.
It's the Roguelike element that makes Spelunky more than just another indie platformer. There are tons of elements to any stage – enemies, of course, plus traps, treasure, rocks you can pick up and throw, damsels to rescue, and shops to buy weird power-ups from. Each is fun in isolation but even better when they come together. The entire fun of Spelunky is its playful experimentation, the way you can interact with the wolrd just to see what happens, so we wouldn't want to spoil the experience by revealing those surprises. Suffice to say that you can play Spelunky over and over and over again without seeing everything that's possible and almost every playthrough will elicit a grin as familiar elements work together to do something unexpected.
It's this that makes the single life mechanic so vital. Without it, most players would just breeze through Spelunky and only see a fraction of its possibilities. But constantly starting from scratch, ever aware of the ease with which you could die, forces you to play with trepidation, taking your time and learning all the ways to exploit the world around you. Of course, this is a fundamental trait of the Roguelike genre, but it's given a new twist in Spelunky by taking what is usually a set of mechanic reserved for the turn-based RPG and transplanting them into a realtime platformer. This brings a whole new level of excitement to the game. Just trying throwing a bomb into a crowded room for example then sit back and see what chaos ensues… But it can also make the game more frustrating. The turn based nature of traditional Roguelikes encourages a throughtful pace of play but in Spelunky you often have to rush, which creates panic and leads to fatal mistakes.
We've sworn at the screen more times while playing Spelunky than practically any other game. So we wouldn't recommend this to anyone with anger management issues or a heart condition. But, by the same token, it's also afflicted us with chronic one-more-go syndrome. So we would recommend it to anyone who loves videogames. Which is surely all of you…

Saturday 29th March, 2014 was a long awaited by many Samui-ans. Central Festival opened it's doors and I'm glad I wasn't there! The line up of famous Thai artists was long and that alone guaranteed a busy Grand Opening.
One of the entrance signs
For future reference, it may be better not to visit in the weekends, I expect it to be very busy, weekdays will allow for a much better and relaxed shopping experience. We went today, a Monday, around 4pm and it was busy but relaxed.
The Central store
Since it was our first time in the parking lot, which offers space for 200 cars, we couldn't find an elevator and had to carry the children's buggy up the stairs, there was no signage indicating where an elevator might be. On the way out, we discovered where two elevators are located.
Tops Supermarket
It's a vast area and we only walked through one part of the mall. We'll be back to visit the other part. It's all laid out over two floors and a parking garage and it's all outdoors. If everything would be indoors and had to be air-conditioned, like it is all over at the mainland outlets, the whole island would be experiencing a continues power cut! All main shops are air conditioned though.
The Food park, as viewed from the outside
The mall is built on a 37 rai plot of land with a total project area of 90,000 sq.m the approximate investment in this project was 3,450 million baht or one million US Dollars at current rates.
The mall has four main decoration themes, the Chaweng Port theme that combines contemporary architecture with an old time ferry port, a Birdcage theme with Chino-Portuguese style, a Fishermans Village theme and Old Market theme in Colonial style.
The Food park inside
Our first impressions are good, the Tops supermarket is well stocked with plenty of goods that aren't available in any other shops, Central store offers also loads of things not available in other stores and the food court, although pricey, offers some interesting options, including an Indian shop which I tried.
We won't be there every day but it may come in handy to visit if you're looking for specific items.

text: Justin Bieber and his fans had a rough Independence Day. Hackers set out to destroy the little guy with the lesbian fringe. Yesterday, these anti-Bieberites rigged YouTube clips of the little songster so that when 'tween fans clicked on them, they would be redirected to porno sites. Noooo! Next, came a hoax—a pop-up announcement that Biebs had died in a car crash. I don't even want to know what that 'tween riot would have looked like had the awful news been true. Suspected of this Bieber-tage are the 4chan crew, the hackers responsible for spreading the "Justin Bieber has syphilis" rumor last month. Oh, come on. Pick on someone your own size! [NY Post]

- Five point veterans preference is granted to veterans who
served during any war (this means a war declared by Congress, the last of which was World War II);
during the period April 28, 1952, through July 1, 1955;
for more than 180 consecutive days, any part of which occured after January 31, 1955, and before October 15, 1976
during the Gulf War period beginning August 2, 1990, and ending January 2, 1992; or
in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign medal has been authorized, such as El Salvador, Lebanon, Granada, Panama, Southwest Asis, Somalia, and Haiti.
The FY 2006 National Defense Authorization Act of January 6, 2006, expanded the definition of a veteran for purposes of preference eligibility. The new definition now includes individuals who served on active duty for more than 180 consecutive days, other than for training, any part of which occurred during the period beginning September 11, 2001, and ending on the date prescribed by Presidential proclamation or by law as the last day of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
- Ten point veterans preference is granted to:
those discharged or released veterans who 1)qualify as disabled veterans beause they have served on active duty in the Armed Forces at any time and have a present service-connected disability or are receiving compensation, disability retirement benefits, or pension from the military or the Department of Veterans Affairs; or 2)are Purple Heart recipients;
the spouse of a veteran unable to work because of a service-connected disability;
the unmarried widow of certain deceased veterans; and
the mother of a veteran who died in service or who is permanetly and totally disabled.
- Medical Disqualification of Preference Eligibles
- OPM's Veterans information website
- Preference Eligibility for Gulf War Veterans
- Preference for Service in Bosnia
- Special Appointing Authority
When referral is made from external recruitment sources, such as the Office of Personnel Management Certificates, Veterans Recruitment Appointment or outside the register authority for temporary appointment, candidates are ranked and referred in veterans preference order. This order of referral often restricts the supervisor's ability to select. Normally, veterans preference eligibles listed above nonpreference eligibles on a referral list must be selected before any nonpreference eligibles can be selected.
Veterans preference provides for hiring preference on initial appointment only. Employees with veterans preference compete equally with all other candidates for subsequent inservice placements. In addition to preference in hiring, employees with veterans preference who are not retired military,have higher retention standing than others for reduction-in-force purposes.

"A Million Martyrs Marching Towards Jerusalem" vs. "One Nuke". You do the math... Oh, and don't make the mistake of assuming I mean Israel would have to nuke them all... Not even 10%... I'm betting that vaporizing a mere 1% would inspire [i][b]the remaining 990,000 or so to flee as fast as their sandy sandals[/b][/i] could carry them. But that's just me - your mileage may vary. [/quote] you just dont have clue about muslims, you fukin uneducated #"%$£... God said in Quran that in a war, those who turn their back (fleeing) on the enemy have the hell fire for retribution. so for muslims the choice is quite simple, either you go fight till death, or you stay home, but you dont flee at any cost while you decided to go for fight. and who more than muslims are attached to their religion ? those muslims who choose to go to war seek either for victory (glory for Islam) either for death in fight (martyrdom), both of them will give them great reward from God. that is why a true muslim army is the most dangerous of all in the world, even when they fight with mere stones, they wont stop fighting until they lie on the ground dead and cold. Talk about fanatism. You just cant measure the link between muslims and God. Muslims know what is to come after death, not their enemies. Talk about confidence. even if you are to walk from the end of the earth to join a muslim army battling at the other side of the earth, if you are killed on your way by an enemy, you have martyrdom... Talk about how easy it is to get the highest reward from God. you just cant test them, muslims dont actually rule the world for a technological reason...nothing else. but when all nations technology will be reduced to stone age, and that will occur for sure according Islamic prophecies... then you better dont be an enemy of Islam at that time :lolsign: all that to say that intimidation doesnt fukin work at all on what you call a "fanatic" aka a muslim soldier ! :iamwith: [/quote] Yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah... At the end of the day, fuck them, fuck allah, fuck mohammed, fuck jihad and fuck halal All these people wanna do is riot and destroy and kill. If they're not doing it to other people, then they're doing it to themselves. 40,000 DEAD in Syria. WTF??? Fuck Islam [/quote] your welcome to have your view but consider devil advocates in this and because are culture and ethics are different doesn't make us any better or different look at the state of our economies for example and the way its handled the way occupy protests ended for example remember we are exposed one side of the coin. [/quote] I do consider everything. Of course no one is perfect, but I'm sorry, our culture IS different and it IS better. There's just no getting around that. I was mainly responding to this threatening bullshit of "muslim soldier" this and "better not be an enemy of islam" that. It's fucking sickening already. [/quote] the thing with religion is that, they have one thing in common and that is dominance, if there is a religion that doesn't then I will stand corrected and our culture is no different follow the same principles fair enough though we go around things different but we are all in the same boat even china says communist yet they are still driven by consummation. I agree with the crap about Muslim soldier though. If you look at Islam itself it doesn't say wage wars its all on interpretation ' The beginnings of Jihad are traced back to the words and actions of Muhammad and the Quran.[1] This encourages the use of Jihad against non-Muslims.[2] Sura 25, verse 52 states: "Therefore, do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with this, a great striving."[3] It was, therefore, the duty of all Muslims to strive against those who did not believe in Allah and took offensive action against Muslims' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_war this is why I say religion and politics should never mix interpret text in the wrong way conflict is inevitably going to arise no matter what culture or religion as person chooses to follow. [/quote] I agree that religion and politics don't mix well. But unfortunately, they've always mixed and always will. I agree to a point that all religions want dominance. But it is my opinion that some religions have evolved and have become a bit more enlightened as time moved on, while others clearly have not. [/quote] fair play as I said your just as entitled to your opinion as any one else is the day religion is taken out of the mix will be an interesting day then everyone will be on the same wave length in theory, hatred would only be down to another persons actions and the actions wouldn't religiously motivated all the promised land crap wouldn't be alight, can you imagine Palestinians and Israel actually living in harmony :lol: :hf: [/quote]

3 comments on na linha do mar
Obrigada por a bonita musica Raquel. Amo mar... (of course) ... que linha? ... you got my feet moving today. Good to hear these songs.⃠
'na linha do mar' can mean shoreline, waterfront, by the water, somewhere where you are able to see the line that divides the sea from the horizon... It is an old song sang by Clementina de Jesus and also Clara Nunes (both already dead)⃠
Thanks. Just listened to both. I like the rhythm and the classical guitar in 'Na linha do mar' by Clementina de Jesus.
I was thinking that was the meaning but wanted to ask. I enjoy the peaceful bliss of gazing out at the horizon on the water.
Thanks again for the music.⃠

Patio Extension: 26 April - 2 May 2003
The Patio Extension project pages are a work-in-progress. I had to get the pictures up because people were asking me about it. I'll try to finish the narration soon.
One of the main things my roomie and I decided we wanted to do in 2003 was to extend the patio to give us more room around the patio table. At right is the area to be covered by the patio extension as it looked in April 2003, before we started. I looked into several possibilities, including pouring an extension slab and laying pavers or bricks, and decided to lay the 12" square concrete pavers. First, it was something I felt I could do myself. Money would be tight this year, with me out of work. And secondly, we could change our minds about the look and the shape with minimal cost. We tried out several designs using pencil and paper, then using one of the home design software packages, until we found one we liked.
First, I did a trial layout of the patio blocks, to make sure we had the size and design we wanted. The picture at left shows this layout. We decided that the size was right, but we needed an extra row of the pavers because they would be cut in a semi-circle, which would reduce the size as originally laid out.
The ground isn't flat and level, so I moved the pavers to the existing patio area. I made a giant compass with cardboard and pegged the center of the circle. I punched a hole at the proper distance from the center (5-1/2 feet radius for our patio) and drew the circle out on the pavers with a pencil. Then I used the "compass" to mark the same semi-circle in the grass so I could cut the sod.
I marked the semi-circle in the grass with short lenghts of bamboo stakes. In the lower right of this picture, you can see the stakes that have been removed as I cut the outline of the arc.
I bought a masonry blade for my circular saw, and used that to cut the concrete pavers around the edge of the arc, following the pencil line I'd drawn earlier. I realized after starting that the blade was cutting about 1/4 of an inch deeper than the thickness of the pavers, so I used some scrap 1x2 stakes to raise the pavers off the poured concrete slab for the cuts.
Next I started cutting out the sod. It would have been faster (maybe) if I had rented a power sod cutter, but the only ones I saw available for rent were much too big for the task at hand. Here you can see where I cut the outline of the semi-circle and the square extensions on either side of it.
It was raining off and on the entire week I was putting in this patio extension. Not a lot of rain, fortunately, but often enough to keep me from working continuously. It took me three days to dig out the sod and the dirt underneath to a depth of at least 6". And there was a poured concrete base for a laundry pole right in the middle of where we put the patio extension. That took a while to dig out! It was a big ol' chunk of concrete! As with our other digging for rose beds, I bagged the soil I removed and later carted it to the city dump. I don't have a big enough lot to enable me to use that much subsoil for landscaping.
Once I had dug down a couple of inches, I pounded stakes in the ground near the outside edge of the extension. I used a level to mark the stakes with the level of the current patio, then a level 1" below that for my target height of the patio extension. The books and online guides I read said to create a slope of 1" for every 4 to 6 feet of width away from the house. As I dug deeper, I marked levels at 2" intervals because I planned to add 2" each of gravel and sand, and the pavers themselves are 2" thick. One of the stakes was later removed because it wasn't deep enough to stand sturdily through later phases of the construction.
After 3 days of off-and-on digging due to scattered showers, I reached my target depth. I refilled the hole created when I removed the concrete plug with some of the soil I removed from the rest of the patio bed, and hosed it down and tamped it thoroughly to settle the fill. Then I began to add the gravel. I don't have a truck, or anywhere to store bulk materials delivered by pros, so I bought gravel in bags -- 1/2 cubic foot per bag. That's not the cheapest way of acquiring building materials! One bag will cover about 3 square feet at a depth of 2". I ended up using 18 bags.
I used a screed to level the gravel. A screed is just a length of board that you scrape across the top of your fill to level it out. I actually used two: one that was 5-1/2 feet long (the radius of the semicircle), and a shorter 2-1/2 foot piece that was easier to manipulate. I used the marks I had made on the stakes as my guide to the slope required. The long screed was handy for initial spreading of the gravel, and for the final leveling. For smoothing out the hills and valleys in the fill, the shorter board was much more manageable. Then I used an 8" square tamper to settle the gravel, ran the screed over it again, tamped again, etc. It's a tiring process, and I would recommend renting a powered tamper if at all possible. Periodically, I checked the slope of the gravel base with the level, to make sure the two remaining stakes weren't being shifted by the pounding of the tamper or the sweeping of the screed. I used pea gravel because that's what I had available, but a larger construction grade of gravel is preferred. The small size of the pea gravel means that you're never 100% sure that the gravel is fully compacted.
After completing the gravel layer to my satisfaction, I put down a layer of landscape fabric. This layer accomplishes two things: it cuts down on weeds that grow through the gravel and helps to prevent them from disrupting the finished surface, and it keeps the sand and gravel layers somewhat separated, making it easier to compact the sand without it constantly sifting down through the gravel as you tamp it. I finished for the day just before another shower moved in.
As with the gravel, I bought the "sand" in 1/2 cubic foot bags. Instead of sand I was actually using limestone screenings that are specifically sold as a paver base. This is finer than builder's sand and therefore compacts more readily into a firm surface. I poured out the screenings, leveled it with the screeds (continuing to allow for the one-inch slope), compacted it, and leveled it again. Then I repeated the compacting and screeding routine a couple of times.
In between each compacting and screeding I checked the slope with the level. This was because I wasn't 100% sure that the stakes weren't moving. It just adds a couple of minutes for each leveling, and it's worth the peace of mind.
It was a bit chilly that morning, so in spite of the rather strenuous labor involved, particularly when tamping the screenings down, I wore my jacket for most of the morning. Again, if finances permit, I would reccommend renting a power tamper. It would make the process so much easier and faster.
Finally, it was time to begin laying the concrete pavers. The first row was carefully set against the straight edge of the existing patio. It's important to try to keep things square, and using the existing edge was the easiest way of ensuring this. I was able to finish the first two rows before weather and twilight force me to quit for the day.
I cut a notch in the short screed to the depth of a paver (2") so that I could run it along the top of a row of pavers and relevel the screenings before laying the next row. As I finished laying a row, I used the altered short screed to scrape across the limestone screenings paver base where the next row would go. I also used a short level to check the pavers in four directions (side-to-side in both directions and both diagonals). It's important to check each element when laying a patio or walk way, because a small error on one end can quickly throw off your angles and level by the time you reach the other end of the project.
After all the pavers were in place, I scattered a layer of screenings across the surface of the patio extension and swept it across the surface with my broom. Then I wet it down with a hose, added extra screenings where necessary, and swept it some more. This works the paver base down in between any inevitable spaces between pavers caused by irregularities in the individual paver squares, helping to anchor them in place and prevent movement of the pavers or erosion of the underlying base.
The final step was to set up the patio table and chairs in their new home.
And the final result ... this picture is from the end of May 2003.

I found that the xfs-sysfs-2 requires small rework around event_alloc() and event_release() because of very rare (but possible) race with timer function which drops lock (i decided to drop lock because i think kobject_uevent may be synchronous in the case of deprecated /sbin/hotplug and i'm not sure also how long it takes for udevd) i think that there is no point to update patch as long as we will not sort out if the whole idea is really worth to implement.

Banana, Berries and Peanut Butter Smoothie
Barbara Oseland
Every once in a while I like to add peanut butter to my smoothie. Although choosing a low in sugar or organic peanut butter may be a better option, it is still something we should consume in moderation. This will give you the flavor of peanut butter and sweetness and tang from the berries as well as the health benefit from oils in the peanut butter, vitamins and calcium in the fruit and yogurt and milk as well as health benefits of the flax or wheat germ.
- 1 medium
- banana frozen in chunks
- 1/4 c
- frozen blueberries
- 1/2 c
- frozen strawberries (about 4-5 whole)
- 1/4 c
- blackberries
- 1/2 c
- plain low fat yogurt
- 1/2 c
- milk, low-fat
- 2 Tbsp
- peanut butter, creamy
- 1 tsp
- honey or packet splenda
- 1 Tbsp
- flax (optional)
- 1 Tbsp
- wheat germ (optional)
- 5
- ice cubes
How to Make Banana, Berries and Peanut Butter Smoothie
- 1Put ground flax and wheat germ into blender to grind and further breakdown. This will also eliminate any bitterness from the flax.
- 2Place the banana, strawberry, blackberries, blueberries, peanut butter, honey, yogurt, and milk into the blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Add ice two at a time and pulse to break up, then blend till desired consistency.
- 3Note:
If you only have mixed fruit or prefer mixed, replace fruit (except banana) with 1 cup mixed berries.
