I think she is right so don't hold your breath about some men to actually stand up against PC.
True, but so do the monkeys in the zoo.

Shortly About Us
Octacorda is a unique duo bridging the gap between solo and chamber ensemble performance. Joana and Stanislav founded Octacorda with the aim of discovering the variety of musical and artistic possibilities afforded by this distinct partnership of violin and viola, which is rarely seenshowcased outside of the context of a larger ensemble. The pairing of violin and viola allows for many exciting programming opportunities: alongside a versatility of repertoire, which can include exquisite rarely-performed works alongside popular classical arrangements, the duo is equally flexible when it comes to venue spaces, due to the particular portability of their instruments. Octacorda, representing a longstanding musical partnership, affords Joana and Stanislav the opportunity to communicate to audiences in an intimate and unique way.Repertoire

Joana Valentinaviciute, Violin
"Playing music is a very strong emotional experience. It is also a very intensive intellectual process - a special way of thinking. It connects time and place, so that new thoughts, ideas, visions and senses can emerge. They evolve and grow deeper with each rehearsal and performance on stage. My goal is to present something that would appeal to a more diverse audience and encourage deeper thought."
Accomplished Lithuanian-born violinist Joana Valentinaviciute made her concerto debut with the Malmö Symphony Orchestra in 2010, and has performed internationally. Joana's performances in London alone encompass venues such as St James's Piccadilly, The Royal Albert Hall's Elgar Room, the V&A and National Gallery.
Joana frequently takes part in international music festivals, and has previously performed in Pablo Casals Prades and The International Holland Music Sessions. A keen chamber musician, Joana founded the dynamic Octacorda in 2007, in partnership with violist Stanislav Popov; together, they discover and perform rare works for violin and viola duo. As well as being a member of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Joana has played in guest principal positions in orchestras across the UK and Europe. She has had the privilege of working with leading conductors including Bernard Haitink, Charles Dutoit, Pierre Boulez, Zubin Mehta, Andris Nelsons and Vladimir Ashkenazy.
Mentors for Joana during her Artist Diploma at the Royal College of Music in London, supported by a Heddy Simpson Award, and postgraduate training at Malmö Academy of Music included Alexandr Ficher and Radu Blidar. Joana has participated in masterclasses with musicians such as Midori, Norbert Brainin, Nikolaj Znaider, Hagai Shaham and Rudolf Koelman.
Joana is currently playing a violin workshop by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini from 1786Repertoire
Stanislav Popov, Viola
Violist Stanislav Popov is in great demand as a chamber and orchestral musician in the UK and beyond, having performed in countries including Denmark, Germany, France, Italy and Canada. Following his graduation from N. Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatoire in his home city of St. Petersburg, studying with Oleg Balabin, Stanislav gained early professional experience at the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra as Co-Principal Viola. Stanislav went on to hold the position of Solo Viola at Malmö Opera Theatre Orchestra in Sweden, where in 2008 he performed the Bartok Viola Concerto, conducted by Joseph Swensen. Whilst in this role, he founded Malmö Opera String Sextet, as well as introducing audiences to a broad spectrum of chamber music for viola and piano through regular recitals.
In addition to his work as a soloist and a chamber musician he has been guest principal and co-principal with European orchestras including The Royal Opera House, The Royal Philharmonic, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and Oxford Philomusica. Stanislav has worked with conductors such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Placido Domingo, Evgeny Svetlanov, Mariss Janssons, Yuri Bashmet, James Conlon, Valery Gergiev, Zubin Mehta. Stanislav founded Octacorda with Joana Valentinaviciute in 2008. Their long-standing partnership affords unique and exciting artistic opportunities to share music with new audiences.Repertoire

As a nice Halloween gift Life gave me quite a scare today. And I'm not even talking about that terrible and horrible nightmare I had. When I came home from work I suddenly saw an envelope with my name on it lying on the coffee table. It was from the Amsterdam Consulate. I was not expecting mail from them, so of course a dreadful feeling creeped up on me.
My mom told me that envelope had been lying there ever since I got back from Florida. She had moved it today on top of a pile of papers, where it apparently did catch my eye. But she didn't even TELL me I had mail. I ripped open the envelope and quickly scanned it's contents and got a little sick. The letter had been sent October 1st (it was now October 31st) and informed me my scheduled and final interview for my visa was November 7th.
That's in ONE WEEK. It also informed me of the required medical examinations, which you have to have done at least one week in advance. So even if I had all the forms gathered (which I hadn't) I was too late anyway.
That sure was a panicky moment, and got me quite scared. Did I just ruin my chances of a visa because I missed a letter? A letter, to be clear, that shouldn't have been there yet. The Amsterdam Consulate was very explicit in their instructions. Only after I gathered all required documents was I to sent them a form where I declared I was ready. That had never been sent.
After I told Michael he screamed things at me for 5 minutes (capslock = screaming in my head), and then went into denial. I was pretty pissed he was mad at me, because in my opinion I'm not to blame. If anyone is, it's the consulate or my mother! But while Michael was pretending this wasn't a big deal and he wasn't that mad at me (which he was but yay for the attempt, I salute you brave boyfriend), I was writing an email to the consulate explaining the situation.
When it was finished Michael proofread it and made some changes and I sent it. Within an hour I got an rather annoyed email back from them stating it pretty much was my own fault for reasons that don't make sense to me. But they also attached the new appointment for my final interview. Praise the stars! They had mercy on me.
The interview is now the 26th of November! I'm still not sure I'll have my last form by that date, but chances are about 85% I will. Let's hope I get lucky. I don't know if you guys realise how big of a deal this is.
On November 26, I have the interview with the Amsterdam Consulate to determine if I qualify for a K-1 fiance visa. They will most likely give their answer immediately or a day after the interview. This is MAJOR. My future will be decided in less than a month!
I'm scared and excited. Perfect feelings for Halloween I say.

You are here: Home > gifts for men > bbq accessories > Grill Sergeant BBQ
Atttennnnnn...TION! This Grill Sergeant BBQ will have you producing perfect burgers and sausages each and every time... or else. "Is that sausage undercooked? DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME TWENTY PRIVATE!"
There's nothing like a drill sergeant staring at you through mirrored aviator sunglasses to bring out your best burger flippin'! He'll make sure the BBQ goes exactly as planned and that nobody messes it up. That means no charcoal encrusted pieces of burger-coal being passed off as edible and BBQ tongs being used safely and responsibly at all times.
Completely portable, and most certainly quirky, this is a BBQ that's great for parties, get-togethers, and shin-digs. All together now: "This is my burger. There are many like it, but this one is mine…"

By Roger Yu, USA TODAY
Bag searches at gates, patdowns, long lines and thorough passport inspection are the new realities for frequent travelers passing through international airports following the failed Christmas Day bomb attack on a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight.
Herkea Jea of Fremont, Calif., who returned to San Francisco from Italy on Jan. 4, says clearing the fast-track security lane reserved for elite flyers at Rome Fiumicino took an hour. "The slowest I ever experienced," she says, adding that all passengers on her flight were given a patdown search.
FLIGHT NEWS: Our Today in the Sky community
She and others were subjected to another round of baggage inspection at the gate, with security agents at two desks scrutinizing all carry-ons. Her flight was delayed an hour. It was "the most thorough (screening) in my years of flying," she says. "I am thinking of postponing my next trip a couple of weeks to stay away from the hassles."
Stephanie Dickey, a design and marketing company executive from Kearney, Neb., says all passengers, including children, on her flight from Tokyo Narita to the USA were patted down and all carry-on bags were searched. "I've found that passports are being looked at a bit more carefully," she says.
Ricardo Castro of Singapore flew from Singapore Changi to London via Frankfurt, a trip he makes once a month. In the past, his connection at Frankfurt didn't require going through security. On Jan. 4, he was required to pass through two separate rounds of screenings.
But Christer Wernerdal of St. Petersburg, Fla., was surprised that he was not asked to go through more security than usual at Frankfurt when he recently passed through it on his way to Washington Dulles from Sweden. It was "really surprising, especially at a big international hub like Frankfurt," Wernerdal says. "I guess a person with a U.S. passport returning from Sweden isn't a big security risk."
Domestic travelers say they aren't seeing sweeping changes, though long lines and more tension are palpable at some airports.
Hugh Tousey, a consultant from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., says his post-Christmas flights out of Milwaukee and Raleigh-Durham, N.C., "went as easy or easier than before."
A Jan. 3 flight from Baltimore/Washington took off with "no apparent difference" for John Steinberg, a health care consultant from Baltimore.
Jim Dolan, a media executive from Minneapolis, was at Minneapolis-St. Paul on Tuesday, when airport police and security dogs found a suspicious suitcase and evacuated portions of the Lindbergh Terminal. The luggage turned out to be harmless, but "the shutdown of large areas of the airport and passenger evacuation happened with startling swiftness," he says.
On the following day, Dolan bought a last-minute ticket to Portland, Ore., from San Francisco, but a United agent at SFO wouldn't issue a boarding pass without twice verifying his identification and an extended phone call with another person she wouldn't identify. He was pulled aside at the security checkpoint "for the most complete full-body patdown I have seen or felt. My gender was confirmed, if you know what I mean."
His carry-on was opened and all items were removed and swabbed, he says.
•A couple of African airports with direct service to the USA will install full-body scanners after the Christmas Day bombing attempt, according to a report by Voice of America.
Accra's Kotoka International in Ghana and Nigeria's Lagos international airport will install the controversial devices, the report says. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was arrested for the bombing attempt, departed from Accra and transited through Lagos and Amsterdam.
South Africa, which has the largest African traffic to the USA, doesn't plan to install the scanners, the report says.
•Charlotte International, a US Airways hub and one of the world's busiest airports, opened its fourth runway, a 9,000-foot strip that will allow traffic controllers to land three planes simultaneously during congestion and bad weather. Few airports can handle three simultaneous landings. The runway and the surrounding taxiways cost $325 million.
•Google's promotional subsidies that let 32 airports provide free Wi-Fi Internet service since November ends Friday. But at least one of them, Seattle-Tacoma, says it will continue to offer it for free by taking over the operation. "This was our plan before the Google promotion," spokesman Perry Cooper says.
Houston Intercontinental, which also participated in Google's promotion, will give travelers 45 minutes of free access after Friday, then charge $7.95 for a day pass if they want to continue.

Chicago 84, Utah 82

Game 1:
Video: Michael's game-winner, at the buzzer.
1.07m avi
Chicago Sun-Times:
How much longer will Jordan rule?
Michael Jordan's 20-footer from the left wing at the buzzer gave
the Chicago Bulls a thrilling 84-82 victory over the Utah Jazz
in Game One of the NBA Finals.
"Give the ball to Michael and get out of the way," said Chicago's Brian Williams of the final play.
Scottie Pippen inbounded to Toni Kukoc, who gave the ball to Jordan. He used a crossover dribble to get free of Bryon Russell and buried a jumper from just inside the three-point circle as the buzzer sounded.
"I was surprised that Russell was the only one on me," said Jordan. "Since they didn't double me, I took a crossover dribble to the left, stopped, took my shot and that was it."
"We thought we tried to play him as straight as we could," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. "We probably made a mistake."
"Jordan got the ball, time was running down and he hit a great shot with my hand in his face," said Russell. "He did what Michael Jordan is known for -- backbreakers. I kept him in front of me, he didn't get past me. He took a jump shot while I had a hand in his face."
It was the first game-winning shot at the buzzer in the NBA Finals since Dennis Johnson gave the Boston Celtics a 107-105 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game Four in 1985.
Jordan was the MVP runner-up to Malone but stated his own case with 31 points, including nine in the final 5 1/2 minutes. Malone finished with 23 points and 15 rebounds, but was just 3-of-6 from the line.
Scottie Pippen overcame a sprained left foot to score 27 points for the defending champion Bulls, who are looking for their fifth title in seven years.
"This is the part of the season where I would play with just about any injury," said Pippen. "There was some pain and discomfort early, but I pressed through it. I will probably not practice the next two days. It's not that I don't want to, but continuing my therapy is probably the better way for me to go right now."
"I thought he (Pippen) really played an excellent ballgame," said Bulls coach Phil Jackson. "He went out at the beginning of the game, got us going, found out what he could and couldn't do."
Chicago improved to 47-3 at home this season and hosts Game Two on Wednesday.
John Stockton had 16 points and 12 assists for the Jazz, who squandered a chance to grab early control of the series. Utah was trying to become the first team since the 1978 Seattle SuperSonics to win its Finals debut.
The final 3 1/2 minutes were frenetic, with six lead changes and a tie before Jordan's jumper.
Jordan had a layup and banker before a basket by Luc Longley gave Chicago a 76-75 lead with 3:29 remaining. Malone made two free throws and a tough drive around a jumper by Jordan to give the Jazz a 79-78 edge with 1:35 to play.
Pippen and Stockton traded three-pointers and Jordan made a foul shot with 35 seconds to go, pulling Chicago into an 82-82 tie with 35 seconds left. Stockton missed a three-pointer, but Malone tracked down the long rebound as Dennis Rodman bumped him. But Malone missed both shots.
"It was just me up there," said Malone. "They felt good. I just missed 'em."
"I was hoping he'd miss both, but I thought he'd make at least one," Jordan said.
Rodman had 12 rebounds but Jordan and Pippen had no help on offense. No other player scored more than six points for the Bulls, who shot 45 percent (34-of-76) from the field and were outrebounded, 43-36.
"It's a concern," said Jordan. "But you guys have asked me that question (about the struggling offense) the entire playoffs and we still continue to win."
Jeff Hornacek scored 11 points and Howard Eisley added nine for the Jazz, who shot 46 percent (35-of-76) but committed 18 turnovers, including seven by Stockton.
"I can live with guys missing shots," said Sloan. "The thing I have a very difficult time living with is guys not executing and handling the basketball."
Former heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, wearing a Bulls jacket, tossed the ball for the ceremonial first jump and received a standing ovation.
Pippen appeared tentative in the early going, scoring just one basket before leaving with his second foul with 4:11 left in the first quarter. Toni Kukoc replaced him and immediately buried a three-pointer, giving the Bulls their first lead at 13-12.
Two jumpers by Howard Eisley closed the quarter and gave Utah an 18-17 lead. The MVP duel between winner Malone and runner-up Jordan didn't immediately materialize as both got off to poor shooting starts. Malone was 3-of-11, missing several layups, while Jordan shot 3-of-8.
There were 11 lead changes in the second quarter, the last coming on Pippen's slam as he landed on his injured foot, giving Chicago a 32-31 lead with 4:56 remaining. Stockton then scored six points in an 8-0 burst that gave Utah a 39-32 lead with 2:04 left.
The Bulls regrouped after a timeout and answered with six straight points, including two free throws and a basket by Pippen. Russell's three-pointer with 5.5 seconds to play gave the Jazz a 42-38 lead.
Pippen started strongly in the third quarter, scoring seven points in the first five minutes. He had a three-pointer, a block of Russell that led to a breakaway dunk and a jump hook that cut the deficit to 48-47 with 7:10 left.
Then Jordan took control of the offense, scoring the Bulls' next seven points. Another three-pointer by Pippen gave Chicago its only lead of the period at 57-56 with 1:32 to go.
Hornacek, who had just two points in the first half, scored nine in the third quarter as the Jazz took a 64-62 edge into the final period.

Cable will make TV Madness less maddening
March Madness, CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus says, "is going to be a very different experience. It will take some getting used to."
But it should be much better, at least if you have cable TV. It will seem more like regular TV sports.
CBS' former NCAA model was a crazy quilt of the network predicting what regions want to see which teams and then guessing whether games had become blowouts and regional audiences needed to be switched to other games. Viewers wanting guarantees they could watch any given game needed to watch it online or pay for a satellite package.
All games still will be online, and there's no longer the need for the pay package given that CBS and Turner cable channels TNT, TBS and truTV will offer every game in its entirety. Viewers will get standard TV games — and the requisite halftime and postgame shows devoted to each — rather than the old (albeit often exciting) jumble of CBS sending viewers to and fro.
TV MAKEOVER: March Madness gets more coverage, new times
Through the joint CBS/Turner 14-year, $10.8 billion NCAA deal, CBS will carry 26 games, followed by TBS (16), truTV (13) and TNT (12). Cable TV brings new flexibility to NCAA coverage, even though TNT and TBS are not accessible in about 16 million TV households and truTV is not available in 24 million.
On weekdays, CBS largely avoided having NCAA action between 5 and 7 p.m. ET because it conflicted with local news on its affiliate stations. But Turner's cable channels don't have those conflicts and will carry NCAA action in that time slot.
Various elements remain unchanged, such as CBS carrying all games from Elite Eight through the championship. But even that will change eventually. In 2016, Turner will carry the Final Four.
Because NCAA viewers will be scattered across four channels, individual game ratings probably will drop from when CBS corralled all tournament viewers around a single channel. But total NCAA TV viewership probably will increase. And as the NCAA becomes the latest sports event to at least partially migrate to cable, Turner senior vice president Christina Miller suggests differences between broadcast and cable TV have melted away: "Philosophically, we're in a one-television world."
Putting games on truTV, which Thursday airs World'sDumbest Daredevils and Backwoods Boneheads, is meant to put that channel on more viewers' mental maps. It will air Tuesday and Wednesday "First Four" doubleheaders, which replace the play-in game in the first week of Madness.
The announcers reflect how CBS/Turner have integrated coverage: CBS' Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg and TNT's Steve Kerry work truTV's first night, with CBS' Gus Johnson and Len Elmore calling the second with TNT's Craig Sager as NCAA coverage this year adds sideline reporters.
The studio shows from New York, where TNT's Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith join CBS' Greg Anthony, and Atlanta also will have network cross-pollination. CBS executive vice president Mike Aresco says, "This is the first time big media companies have worked together showing games at the same time."
CBS/Turner makes sense. Like when NBC puts some of its Olympic action on its cable channels rather than letting it go unseen, today's viewers expect to order their action a la carte.

Master of Arts in Product and Spatial Design
Goal of education
Content outcomes
The programme educates designers with a distinct design personality. Students will learn to manage design processes, learn about the regulations in construction, material knowledge, skills in 3D composition, and understand the spatiality of people and products. They deepen the skills learned in Bachelor's studies and broaden their knowledge in spatial design, furniture design or product design. They learn to practice design in the broader operational environment of product development, business, and culture.
Skill outcomes
Students learn to interpret and transform living environment and culture through their insight and professional skills. They develop an artistic and designerly insight, learn to master their creative design process, and deepen their expertise in materials, knowledge of design tradition, and cultural discussion. The programme trains students in personal design expression, gives them ability to master design processes, and to understand the discipline's tradition and presence as a base for curiosity and experimentation.
Students are also trained to develop technical, aesthetic and research skills to support the design process. They become competent in exploring technologies and visualising, creating and demonstrating innovative concepts and experiences using the latest technology. They become professionals versed in design tradition with skills in multidisciplinary teamwork.
Academic skills
The programme enhances students' presentation skills in writing and visualisation. The students learn skills in problem-setting and problem-solving relevant to the product and spatial design and in practice led design research. They also learn to gather and analyse information and apply it to design and research.
Education content
The programme is based on an exploratory approach to design-based problem setting, elaboration and solving. It emphasises the skill to manage the entire design process from the beginning to the final outcome. An essential part of the education is project-based hands-on learning. In the projects, the students are encouraged to utilise artistic and experimental approaches and find their personal expression and voice as a designer.
Career opportunities
Career opportunities vary from entrepreneurship to expert tasks in private and public organisations. Graduates work as interior designers in design and architect studios, as independent entrepreneurs, and as in-house designers in industry. They also work as designers, managers, researchers and teachers. The programme prepares its graduates also for doctoral studies.
Students are encouraged to apply for international exchange studies or internships. They are also encouraged to participate in international competitions, exhibitions, conferences, and trade fairs.
Admission procedure
Applicants for the Master's Degree Programme in Product and Spatial Design apply in the Master's level admissions in the field of Art and Design. The main criteria are competence and suitability. Specifically, the programme seeks students who understand processes and structures, to create personal design solutions both individually and in teams, with personal and artistic insight, ideation skill, and goal-orientation and motivation.
Eligible applicants for the programme have earned a Bachelor of Arts or completed equivalent studies. The Master's Degree Programme in Product and Spatial Design consists of advanced studies, which can be completed in two years.
Students are granted admission to the programme through a two-phase process. In the first phase students are evaluated based on the application as a whole, including portfolio, previous studies, CV and letter of motivation. In the second phase, the most suitable applicants are invited for an interview, from which a smaller subset of applicants is offered a study place.

I think it would be better if tzdata would copy the updated localtime file from /usr/share/zoneinfo/... (via %post) when upgrading depending on ZONE in /etc/sysconfig/clock. To allow custom timezones (real customized tz files or timezones the config tools don't know about) I propose to use ZONE=custom upon which neither tzdata nor system-config-date would touch /etc/localtime.

The online ad turnaround will have to wait. Online ad spend in Q2 began with some promise, says JMP Securities analyst Sameet Sinha in a research note, but that spark has gone out, as advertisers remain cautious. Sinha said that despite "a strong March, a solid April ,and an in-line May," June is showing a retreat in budgets as travel and finance remain weak, and retail looks mixed at best. In essence, Sinha expects Q3 to remain slow, with the possibility for growth returning for the Q4 holiday season.
— Display's dual personality: Although Nielsen found that some larger brands were increasing their display spend by 27 percent in Q1, and TNS Media Intelligence said that category in general was up 8.2 percent for that same period, Sinha sees the glass as half-empty. The problem with display is the divide between premium and remnant advertising. Pricing pressures continue to hurt the premium segment. On the remnant end, direct-response advertisers had started to accelerate their spending in Q1 and that trend has continued into this quarter. Sinha notes that while some big brands had also initiated direct-response campaigns during Q2, that has not carried over into the more pricey branding buys.
— Search stabilizes: After its first down quarter in Q1, the search business continues to benefit from additional traffic, though this is being offset by declines in cost-per-clicks and click-through-rates.

On March 21 justice K P Sivasubramanian giving his ruling on a petition by Zee, challenging the termination of the tender proceedings, had held that the BCCI action was "unjust, illegal and the result of bias against the petitioner (Zee telefilms)". The Judge had come down heavily on Dalmiya forthe tender proceedings being cut short.
Justice Sivasubramanian had said that after the conclusion of the India-Pakistan home cricket series the BCCI could call for fresh tenders for telecast of international cricket matches in the country.
Granting the interim stay, effective till April 20, on appeals filed by the BCCI and Dalmiya challenging the single judge's order, a division bench, comprising chief justice Markandey Katju and justice F M Ibrahim Kallifulla, issued notice to Zee and ESPN returnable on that day.
In its appeal, Zee sought a stay on the single judge's order permitting the Board to call for fresh tenders for telecasting cricket matches in the country till September 30, 2008 after the conclusion of India Pakistan series.
Zee contended that if it finally succeeded in its appeal and got the consequential relief it was entitled to, it would suffer grave and irreparable loss and prejudice if theretender was held.
Pointing out that during the pendency of its writ petition in the High Court the BCCI had given an undertaking that it would not finalise telecasting right with a third party, Zee contended that the single judge in his order, while disposing of its petition, had left it to the Board to call for fresh tenders after the conclusion of the India-Pakistan series.
In their separate appeals against the single judge's order, Dalmiya and the BCCI contended that the judge had erred in making certain observations with regard to the alleged conduct of the former Board president.
The observation involved grave consequences and accused Dalmiya of wrongful conduct merely on the basis of the affidavit filed by Zee Telefilms Ltd that had challenged the termination of the tender process in the High Court, the appeals said.
They said the Judge could have dismissed Zee's petition on the basis of the channel's admission that it neither had the production unit nor the requisite experience of producing international cricket matches on its own.
The appeals termed as wholly erroneous and imaginative the conclusion of the judge that Dalmiya wanted ESPN to walkover Zee, the highest bidder, in a clandestine manner and that members of a select committee had politely recorded their dissent.

I call it vidogging. Maybe that's why Twitter keeps turning me into a porn star though, so I gave up on them. Let's see, you could call it your Shlog, but that sounds like a…um…log? I'm no help here. My husband wouldn't want me to tell you what I want to see on your shlog either. You guys are always fun though, you'll figure it out. You should really stop letting people lick your eyeball, a simple handshake will do- Wash with tea tree soap while you're traveling to keep the germs away, seriously.

Hey Mike,
I'm so very sorry about your double pink eye! Ugh!
I am the mother of a soldier who committed suicide in Afghanistan on 2007. My Graham and I used to listen to you and sing at the top of our lungs. Since then your music has saved my life… "over and over again"
Thus I am writing to request 3 pit seats for my daughter, her boyfriend and me, or especially backstage passes to your Sept 5 show in Houston.
You play a lot of songs re loss and the military… Perhaps this is one small way you cane give back.
Please feel free to google me…

Hey, you look cool with glasses. Double pink eye may just be the best thing that's happened to you.
Instead of Vlog, you could call it… "Mike's Mentality" or maybe start a series called "Mike's Mini Lessons" in which you teach us something every episode… or maybe "Motivational Mike"– you've accomplished a lot and could motivate others to do the same. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on being organised and getting stuff done, etc. thnx

Hello I trying to access an running webapp that itself works fine. I can see the results of the app within the output of my IDE when I just run the app separately. Problem is I am trying to test an ajax app and when I execute the XMLHttpRequest.send(query) after proper setup with a known parameter I see the app just re-executing the same page with same parameter that it had; not the one in my ajax call. It is as if my XMLHttpRequest.send() was just executing a refresh. Obviously I then dont get anything aback. I have tried from a different browser window. This is not exotic, just self testing an ajax app against a localhost webapp. Ideas? tia. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ajax-tomcat-caching-tp19133882p19133882.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

text: The security issues facing law enforcement and criminal justice systems are many and complex. A site-wide surveillance system is therefore an essential tool to monitor prisoner and staff safety, record incidents, protect property, detect criminal activity, combat terrorism and provide evidence. Police stations and courts are difficult premises to monitor, mixing high-security and public areas in the same building. Conversely, monitoring of urban areas and traffic enforcement create a different set of problems. In all these environments it's important that different operators have access to the same CCTV images, no matter where they are located. This demands a flexible and truly distributed CCTV system that delivers the very highest quality video. Law enforcement and criminal justice systems face a myriad of threats and challenges: * Geography - Sites often cover large geographic areas, particularly for municipal monitoring. * Environment - Buildings often include both high-security and public areas together. * Terrorism - Police and court buildings are prime targets for terrorists. * Evidence - Video evidence of criminal activity and police interviews needs to be very high quality and tamper-proof to aid convictions. * Safety - High profile events all too often seen in the media highlight the importance of safety for staff, prisoners and the public. IP Video is the control and recording of live digital CCTV images over IP-based networks such as an IT Local Area Network (LAN) as found in most organisations. Transmitter/receiver modules, either standalone or built into IP cameras, convert the camera signal into high-quality MPEG-4 or H.264 format Digital Video for transmission over the network. Operators using workstations running Security Management Software (SMS) can view live and recorded video from any camera. The very best IP Video systems are truly distributed, which allows any component (camera, SMS workstation or video recorder) to be located at any point on the IP-network. This makes the system extremely flexible and scalable. Video is recorded directly from the network using Network Video Recorders (NVRs), which can be distributed around the network to minimise the bandwidth usage and create a fault tolerant solution by removing the single point of failure associated with analogue/DVR systems. The SMS will also provide advanced video search and analysis tools, analytics, alarm handling features and site map overlays for easy identification of cameras and alarms. Some IP Video manufacturers provide their SMS license-free within the cost of the hardware, allowing workstations to be deployed throughout a site for no additional cost. Any analogue CCTV camera can be connected to the network using transmitter/receiver modules. Most manufactures also supply a range of high-end IP cameras that can be connected directly to the network and are available in a number of resolutions including high-definition (HD). Leading HD IP Cameras can be used on standard networks and storage, bringing the benefits of high-definition video to everyday CCTV surveillance applications. High-fidelity two-way, fully synchronised audio can also be transmitted and recorded alongside the video. Monitoring buildings involved with law enforcement creates a challenging environment. Not only does CCTV have to monitor prisoner security and safety but also staff and public safety and building security, both interior and perimeter. An IP Video system can deliver the highest quality video at full frame rate and provide standard onboard analytics for real-time analysis of image content. The SMS adds other dimensions to the surveillance operation by providing advanced analytical search tools and features such as instant recall of recorded video. In addition, the distributed nature of IP Video technology allows any component in the system to be located anywhere on the network. For example, in a police station CCTV workstations could be used by: * Booking in Desk * Custody Sergeant * Senior Police Officers * Interviewing Officers and Detectives This gives the police and the courts the flexibility to easily and cost-effectively integrate CCTV surveillance into their operations. Many police departments are replacing uneconomic remote police stations with unmanned 'safe rooms', which allow the public to contact the police from a safe and secure environment. An IP Video solution can implement all the necessary two-way video and audio intercom facilities entirely through the network. The advanced compression technology available on leading IP Video systems allows high-quality video and audio to be transmitted over very long distances with minimal delay. Law enforcement around the world has to increasingly monitor city centres and local communities as part of their operations. Whether this is to monitor criminal activity or manage traffic, remote monitoring creates a challenging environment for CCTV systems. IP Video's flexible and scalable technology is ideally suited to this type of application. The very best IP Video solutions employ MPEG-4 and H.264 compression technology that allows DVD-quality video to be transmitted across standard IP networks over large distances with minimal bandwidth requirements. This ensures latency is kept to a minimum, which allows PTZ cameras to be controlled smoothly from far away, and wireless networks to be deployed easily to overcome the cabling problems associated with wide-area applications. IP Video solutions have been deployed in a number of mobile applications including CCTV monitoring vans and command vehicles. Special robust, fault-tolerant NVRs with removable hard discs have been developed for mobile applications. This coupled with excellent compression, low storage requirements and easy wireless network implementation means that IP Video is the ideal solution for mobile and rapid deployment CCTV applications. In large remote monitoring applications it is common for many different law enforcement agencies to want access to CCTV video footage. However, the video each agency requires may be different, and certain cameras need to be viewed only by specific agencies. A typical application would be an airport where the following agencies and departments would require access to the CCTV system: police, immigration, customs, airport security, airport operations and baggage handling. In order to manage this complex environment the SMS implements sophisticated Identity Authentication Management (IAM). The IAM system manages all aspects of user accounts and access permissions and creates logs to ensure a secure audit trail is produced. IP Video solutions are feature rich and many have been developed specifically for law enforcement applications. Privacy Zones - Privacy Zones is a unique solution to the problem of implementing CCTV Hidden Zones without permanently losing the video which may be needed for evidential purposes in the future. Traditionally, Hidden Zones have been crudely implemented by applying a permanent mask to the front of the camera. The Privacy Zones feature blocks out areas of video to avoid viewing data/images that are irrelevant or intrusive. Analytics - IP Video solutions typically provide a wide range of analytics features that run in real time in the camera and in the SMS for post-event analysis. Analytics can be used to detect movement or actions in a scene and then automatically generate alarms, warning the operator or triggering a system action such as start recording or pan a camera. Analytics can include virtual tripwire, motion detection, abandoned object detection and tracking, congestion detection and counter flow. For example the 'Hooded Camera' analytics feature, which automatically alerts the system when a camera lens is obscured, is being used within many law enforcement applications. Integration - Leading IP Video solutions can be fully integrated with other security systems such as access control and perimeter protection and can consolidate all alarms from these systems within the SMS. In addition their extensive integration facilities allow easy interfacing with systems such as Cell Call, Life Signal, Intercom and PACE/Interview recording equipment. High-Quality Video and Audio - The best IP Cameras and transmitter/receiver units can transmit DVD quality video at 25/30 fps and hi-fi quality two-way audio with a guarantee that no frames will be dropped. The video and audio is fully synchronised, which makes it an ideal platform for recording interviews and other evidential material. Watermarked and tamperproof evidential video/audio clips can be exported from the system, together with a standalone player for remote viewing. Incident Lockout - In the event of an incident a senior operator can log into a SMS workstation with the appropriate permissions and lock down a specific camera or the entire CCTV system. The cameras can then only be viewed and controlled from that workstation. Video Viewing Notification - A digital output from the IP Cameras and transmitter/receiver units can be triggered whenever the camera is being viewed or recorded. This can be used to drive a red light in an interview room to indicate the camera is operational. Oliver Vellacott founded IndigoVision in 1994. He was previously a product manager with a background in intelligent camera products. Oliver studied piano at the Guildhall School of Music before gaining his first degree in Software Engineering from Imperial College London and then a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Edinburgh University.

|'The Walls' Unit, Huntsville, Texas
Ronaldo Ruiz was set to be executed on Aug. 31, but - as with the prior 6 scheduled executions in Texas that have been stayed or delayed - a Texas court ordered a stay of execution for him on Friday.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Friday halted the upcoming execution of Ronaldo Ruiz, who was set to be put to death on Aug. 31.
Texas was set to execute Ruiz, a hit man in the 1992 murder of a 29-year-old woman. Ruiz, 43, was set to die by lethal injection on Aug. 31 after he was convicted in the murder-for-hire of Theresa Rodriguez.
Ruiz would have become the 6th inmate to be executed in Texas in 2016.
In his latest habeas corpus application, Ruiz raised questions about deficiency of his trial counsel and his initial habeas counsel, as well as questions about the constitutionality of executing him "over 2 decades after his conviction" - a matter the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly declined to consider.
In the Court of Criminal Appeals' brief, unsigned order, the court restates Ruiz's claims and then concludes, "After reviewing applicant's writ application, we have determined that his execution should be stayed pending further order by this Court."
The country's busiest death chamber has not carried out an execution in nearly 4 months. The past 6 scheduled executions in Texas - including Ruiz's previously scheduled July execution date - were stayed, delayed, or withdrawn for various reasons.
This marks the longest period Texas has gone without killing inmates since 2014, when no executions took place for nearly 5 months amid furor over Oklahoma's botched execution of Clayton Lockett and legal challenges related to Texas' drug secrecy.
Jason Clark, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), told BuzzFeed News prior to Friday's ruling in Ruiz's case that the agency was "not involved in setting or withdrawing execution dates." He added that the TDCJ "stands ready to carry out" executions.
In a year already marked by fewer executions, Texas is the only state with executions scheduled for the remainder of 2016. Other active death penalty states are grappling with a variety of obstacles ranging from the effect of Supreme Court rulings earlier this year to drug shortages and the fallout from botched executions.
Even in Texas, in August alone now, 3 scheduled executions have been stayed - while the date for another was changed.
Ruiz was hired by 2 brothers, Mark Rodriguez and Michael Rodriguez, to kill Michael's wife Theresa for a life insurance scheme. Ruiz shot and killed Theresa in the couple's garage after following them home from a movie theater. The brothers paid Ruiz $2,000 for the murder.
Ruiz was first scheduled to die in 2007, but a federal appeals court gave him a reprieve. His execution was then set for July 27 of this year after the US Supreme Court refused to review his case in May 2015. However, his execution was pushed to Aug. 31 because of the state's failure to sufficiently notify his counsel of his pending execution, Jennifer Moreno, an attorney at the Berkeley Law Death Penalty Clinic told BuzzFeed News.
On Aug. 19, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit from 5 death row inmates, including Ruiz, who demanded that the state retest its drugs before executing them. That case is now on appeal before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

1Professional Organizer of Children's Summer Camp Luggage
Although one could make an argument that French-milled soaps, scented candles, and the exact duplication of a child's sheet threadcount goes directly against all that summer camp stands for, what's clear here is that these kids are going to have the neatest trunks at camp. That is, until all their clothes wind up wrinkled, covered in mud, and piled under their bunk beds after day one. (Source | Via)
2Human Prop
So while the Muellers get to enjoy the very best of houses, they need to keep things meticulously clean and maintain a precisely pleasant temperature. The mirrors have to be crystal clear at all times, and the bed needs to look like it's never been slept in. They need special approval if they want to have more than 10 people over. When a prospective buyer wants to view the house, the family needs to disappear. And when the property is sold, they've got to pack and move to the next luxury destination.
It seems like a bizarre way to live, but there's a very specific reason for it – according to real estate companies, houses sell better when they're being lived in. Families like the Muellers lend an unmistakable energy to an otherwise empty home. (Source | Via)
3Professional Sleeper
Being able to doze off was not the only job requirement. People needed to be fluent in Finnish and English to apply. Knowledge of Russian was an advantage.
Hotel Finn was not the first to hunt for professional sleepers. A Chinese woman surnamed Zhuang was selected in 2010 out of 7,800 candidates as a hotel test sleeper for the Chinese online travel platform Qunar.
This type of campaign became increasingly popular after Ben Southall beat 35,000 applicants from 200 countries to win the "best job in the world" as caretaker of Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, after a hugely successful Tourism Queensland campaign in 2009. (Source)
4Professional Cliff Diver
The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series is in its sixth year and is again touring the globe. The seven stop tour is held between May and October and visits death defying drops in the Caribbean, North America, South America, and Europe.
Currently half way through the competition, the 14 men and eight women in this year's tour just completed dives at Kragero in Norway where they plunged 88.5 feet and 65.5 feet respectively.
Due to the increasing interest of media, cliff-diving has become a popular sport. Nevertheless, it is an extreme one, performed by approximately 300 sportsmen all over the world. Vast experience in platform diving or a similar sport is a must. (Source 1 | Source 2)
5Professional Iceberg Mover
IIP information is vital to an industry of ice management contractors who are hired by oil companies to keep watch over their oil rig platforms. An estimated 20,000 to 40,000 icebergs a year — massive portions of Greenland glaciers — ride with the current into the North Atlantic, where they become potential dangers to oil installations off Newfoundland's coast. The ice management contractors keep a close eye on bergs in the general vicinity of oil rig structures. When an iceberg is identified as an immediate threat, it is then towed out of the area by the contractors, using specialized anchors handling tug supply vessels.
These contractors use towropes eight inches in diameter and up to 1/4 mile long to tow the immense icebergs. The towrope is attached to a buoy and the tug vessel circles the iceberg, while care is taken to keep a distance of 650 feet or so from the berg. Once the roping is complete, the rope is then attached to a tow cable. Between 1/2 and 3/4 of a mile of space is kept between the vessel and the iceberg to avoid a catastrophe if the iceberg flips over during the operation. If an iceberg flips during towing, it can slice through the boat, as well as cause rough seas due to the waves generated after it falls. Towing an iceberg can take up to 72 hours, as the boat needs in the neighborhood of ten hours to reach a speed of just one nautical mile (6076 feet) per hour. (Via)
6Paint Drying Watcher
For the past four years, Dr. Thomas Curwen has been working for the international paint company Dulux, watching paint dry. And the kind of stuff he looks at on a daily basis is really quite mind-blowing.
34-year-old Curwen is a research scientist from Twyford, Berkshire. His full time job involves carefully observing the changing colors and particles of paint as it dries – both on walls as well as under a microscope. It's a pretty important job, because it ensures that the paints are durable and do not fall off at the slightest touch. (Via)
7Professional Hitchhikers
The world's sixth largest metropolis, Jakarta has a population of over 30 million and around 20 million registered cars. Unfortunately, its infrastructure is far less advanced than that of other large cities like New York, Tokyo or Singapore, which means traffic is terrible. In order to ease jams, authorities have created "Three in One" zones which can only be accessed by vehicles carrying at least three passengers. The measure was successful to some extent, only it also spawned a whole new industry – professional hitchhiking.
Every morning, poor Indonesians from the outskirts of Jakarta can be seen lining the sidewalks near entry points to Three in One zones, offering themselves to commuters in a hurry.
In a country where most people live on less than a dollar a day, these professional hitchhikers can earn up to $7.50 for a few hours of pretending to be someone's employee, son or friend. Picking up hitchhikers to access forbidden areas of Jakarta is illegal, so the jockeys have to help the drivers stopped by policemen convince them they actually know each other. Mothers with babies as young as two months have an advantage over the competition because they count as two people and take up less space, but clean clothes and an overall tidy appearance also give jockeys an edge.

8Full-Time Barbecue Editor
He is so good at it that he even published a book, The Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey Through Texas Barbecue For this book, he spent six months exploring the state's barbecue spots and collecting pitmasters' recipes, eating at up to 10 restaurants a day and logging 10,000 miles.
But don't think his job is easy. Mr. Vaughn estimates that, since he began keeping track in 2007, he has eaten at more than 600 barbecue joints in the country, with more than 500 of those being in Texas. In the last five days, he had eaten barbecue at six locations. I wonder how he keeps in shape. (Source | Via)
9Professional Mourner
Taiwan's "filial daughter" phenomenon emerged during the 1970s, when sons and daughters left their families to work in the city. Transport was limited, so if one of their parents died and they couldn't make it back in time for the funeral, they would hire a filial daughter to take their place and lead the family in mourning. For some Taiwanese, showing grief in a dramatic fashion is the highest reverence for relatives who have passed away, because funerals are considered the most important times to honor one's family. But not everyone has it in them to shed tears and show their pain in public, so to help create a grieving atmosphere, they hire professional mourning daughters. They chant, dance and wail, warming the hearts of the audience and helping them release their emotions. Crying on command isn't easy, but for professional mourners, like 30-year-old Liu Jun Lin, say it helps to really get involved in the event and consider the family that hired them their own. She has been mourning for strangers for 19 years and is now the most famous filial daughter in Taiwan.
But if you think you could do that for a living and plans to change careers, don't. The tradition of hiring professional mourners is slowly dying. While older generations still appreciate their role in staging a dramatic funeral, younger Taiwanese have begun opting for more reserved events, and only hire filial daughters at the insistence of older relatives. The practice is even banned in some parts of the country. (Source)
10Human Scarecrow
Jamie Fox, 22, who had just graduated from Bangor University, was hired to use a ukulele, accordion and cowbell to frighten partridges away from a field in Norfolk. He was paid £250 a week to wear a bright orange coat and play the instruments in a ten acre field where birds are unperturbed by ordinary scarecrows.
His boss, Aylsham farmer William Youngs, even warned him to "bring a deckchair and a good book" for his days in the oilseed rape field.
Mr Fox even said his friends were "slightly envious" of his job, from which he was able to afford a trip to New Zealand the following year. (Source | Via)
11Junior Lego Model-Maker
Hannah Kirkham, 11, from Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire, scored herself a job at the Legoland Windsor Resort after her model of a cat won her the opportunity to work at the theme park.
Hannah faced a a tense final interview with senior model maker Giorgio Pastero, where she and six other candidates aged between six and 12 were put through their paces. The young sculptor's job is to help to maintain and update some of the 1800 models kept at the Legoland Hotel. (Source)

What also works:Alright guys this is my first post to help you guys out. I just "migrated" my sprint number to a boost mirro I bought at wal mart. I set up service of course first and for most. Then called the boost customer care line... You'll have to log into your boost account... go to support and contact customer care... The 800 number is at the bottom of the screen left hand corner. You'll have to of course call the number from a different phone than the one on your account. At that time when you call and enter in all the info the automated system asks for make sure you let them know that your calling to report a lost/damaged/stolen phone. It will ask you to enter in the hex esn id... you'll have to do this a couple times... Then the automated system will "give up" and put you on the line with a human. I told them my phone kept resetting and that I bought another, and verified the esn number from phone I wanted active on the account (touch pro), as well told the csr that this was the same style phone I had. No questions asked he got it activated, I did a hard reset on my phone, and then went in and hit update profile... (Not sure if I had to do the hard reset... but that's what active sync is for) All working just fine... Just thought I'd try and help
Guess we'll see if I can return the Mirro to Wal-Mart in the morning
I like this last method better.I know I'm a little late, but in case anyone was wondering, that method doesn't work anymore.
What works is to call Boost Customer Service and Play Dumb. Don't volunteer information. Tell them for example, that you/your kids broke your phone and someone gave you their old one. Give them the ESN and if they ask you what sort of phone Play Dumb and tell them you don't know "Um its a clamshell with a keyboard?" If they tell you it can't be activated, thank them and hang up. Keep trying, you will eventually get an operator who will swap it in for you.

Bass Museum of Art Announces bassX Series During Renovations
Bass Museum of Art
Photo by Ciara Osorio
Even though the Bass Museum of Art closed for renovations back in May, the art won't stop in the meantime. Starting Tuesday, October 13, the Bass will launch a series of solo artist projects, exhibitions, talks, educational programs, and events known as bassX. According to their website, the "X" represents, the
Many of the bassX programs will take place at the Miami Beach Regional Library, located just across the street from the museum. Between May and the museum's scheduled reopening in late 2016, bassX will host five new exhibits featuring contemporary artists.
American artist Rachel Harrison's exhibit Voyage of the Beagle, Two kicks off the five-part series at the library. The selection includes 58 printed photographs of
During Miami Art Week— December 1 to 6 — bassX will present the U.S. premiere of Swiss visual and performance artist Sylvie Fleury's Camino de Sol. January sees the first American solo exhibition of Jérémy Gobé, who will create a new installation as part of his Fountainhead Residency. In February, South African artist Athi-Patra Ruga will present a collection of fashion, photography, videos, costumes, and live performance. And finally, March will highlight footwear commissioned by international artists as part of Art & Sole: Fantasy Shoes from the Jane Gershon Weitzman Collection.
Most of these artists have never shown their work in South Florida before, so bassX serves as a way of introducing Miami audiences to new works in new venues. "I am excited that many of the artists I have chosen for this annex gallery space will be showing in South Florida for the first time and in some cases newly produced work created specifically for our audience," said Jose Carlos Diaz, Curator of Exhibitions at the Bass.
Additionally, the Bass has a long history of bringing art out of the hallowed museum halls and into the public space. BassX continues in that tradition of sharing art indoors, outdoors, across town, and between South Florida communities. "BassX furthers the Bass Museum of Art's commitment to program outside of its walls. This program builds on our collaboration with ArtBasel in presenting Public, TC Temporary Contemporary, and our ongoing collaborations with museums and organizations like Black Archives, MISO, Home School, and the Lowe Museum," says Bass Executive Director and Chief Curator Silvia Karman Cubiñá. "When organizations share programs and collections, Miami
Voyage of the Beagle, Two, the first exhibition as part of bassX, is on display October 13 through November 15 at the Miami Beach Regional Library at 227 22nd St., Miami Beach. For more information visit bassmuseum.org.

Visit the alluring Andalusian city of Granada at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. When you're done exploring Granada's Alhambra, a 1000-year-old palace; be sure to watch the sun set over the city's flourishing gardens and Moorish buildings.
Steeped in culture and ancient history, there's so much to discover in this charming city, nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Stand in the courtyard of the famous Alhambra, explore old monasteries and bath houses, and enjoy local food and festivities with a cheap holiday in Granada.
One of the most impressive examples of Islamic architecture in Europe, the Alhambra is a magnificent palace situated high above the city. Built in the 9th century as a residence for Muslim rulers, it attracts millions of visitors every year and is a must-see during a holiday in Granada.
Start with the tranquil water gardens at Generalife, before crossing the bridge into the heart of the Alhambra to see the three main palaces with their ornate courtyards and luxurious royal apartments. There's also a gift shop at the Entrance Pavilion, where you can buy guide books to the palace and other souvenirs.
Arab baths were introduced to Spain centuries ago by Muslims and were an integral part of life, with water seen as a symbol of purity. One of the best bath houses in Granada is El Bañuelo, on Carrera del Darro, built in the 11th century for visitors to the local mosque. While many of the old bath houses were later destroyed by the Christians, El Bañuelo survives intact, with its graceful stone archways and elegant tiles, to be admired by visitors today.
A local delicacy in Granada is habas con jamón (beans with ham), made with ham cured in the local mountains. Founded in 1930, the stylish dining rooms at Restaurante Seville are a great place to try a typical serving of this dish during your Granada holiday.
Just a short bus journey to the outskirts of Granada is the Monastery of the Cartuja, with its gleaming yellow marble and baroque arches. Construction began on the monastery in the 16th century and was only completed in 1835, with some damage during the Napoleonic War. Most of the original building survives, however, including the central cloister and three chapels, with their beautifully decorated figures and statues.
Every year in Granada, from late June to July, the city welcomes theatre companies, flamenco singers, and dance troupes as part of the International Music and Dance Festival. If you're on holiday in Granada during this time, there's lots to see and do at the festival, including open air concerts and fun workshops.
Get in touch if you need help with your booking.

2003 Chevrolet Venture LS Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
This is our second minivan. It has plenty of power. I bought because of a back injury and the ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. I used to be a Chrysler man but with the service I get from my local Chevy dealer, I will not switch back. Service is very important to me with all the miles I drive.
Power sliding door, auto lights, set up of the interior
The van does not get the gas mileage that the research says it gets. I average 22mpg and the EPA stated 28 mpg. I bought this vehicle for the mileage. I am disappointed.
2003 Chevrolet Venture Warner Bros. Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
We've had out van for 3 years, and we love it. The dual power sliding doors, DVD entertainment, and 8 passenger seating are awesome. We drove 2006 Toyota and Honda models hoping to upgrade some new features, like the side windows that roll all the way down. There are some nice new toys, but all in all, the ride, comfort, and seating provided by our van can't be beat. We can still fit our family of 5 very comfortably in the van with the rear seat folded flat and loaded down for vacation. We didn't find any other van with seating that compared to the 3 buckets in ours. All the other features are still very similar. Buy a good used Venture, and save your money over the new versions.
The three bucket seats in the middle row - no bench! The DVD entertainment system is awesome as well.
Chevy needs to make our van with roll down windows on the side, improved fuel economy - get highway to 30 MPG and we'd buy another.
2003 Chevrolet Venture LS Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
This vehicle rides smoothly and quietly. I cannot see paying thousands more for the additional supposed reliability, etc. of either the Toyota or Honda comparable product, although both are also excellent vehicles. My only complaint is with the gas mileage, 25 mpg tops for "highway". Excellent drive in snow and rain. Flexible seating allows for multiple use under varying conditions. No water leaks, no nuisance issues, no performance issues.
Traction control, lighting options, and eight seat (comfortable) seating. Love the auto on/off headlights. Easy to change oil and access engine compartment.
This vehicle rides like a solid, safe SUV and I am not sure the gas mileage could be improved without a compromise that I would not entertain. 28 mpg "highway" seems to be achievable. I'm not sure of the size of the gas tank but 25 gallons would have been nice. Book says 20 but I beleive it is >.
2003 Chevrolet Venture LS Fwd 4dr Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
This van is by for the best van for the year. Just got back from a 3500 mile road trip. Smooth ride on interstate and 2 and 4 lane back roads. Mileage was good at around 25-28 with a full load of people and cargo. Next one will be an '05. Too bad Chevy replaced it with a Uplander!
All the seats come out, rear air, built in car seat
More power, better headlight or an H.I.D upgrade
2003 Chevrolet Venture Warner Bros. Fwd 4dr Ext Minivan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
We bought this car because of a great deal that resulted from being a GM supplier (my company). This 2003 Chevrolet Venture Warner edition is a piece of junk. At 40,000 miles, the rear hatch pneumatic devices that hold it up when loading failed. At 50,000 miles the traction control and cruise control don't work anymore. We wonder what's next. The engine (176 HP six cylinder) accelerates more like a 4 cylinder. The interior build quality is poor throughout. All in all the vehicle is a piece of junk. GM deserves to lose marketshare with products like the Venture.
The Warner bros package features an excellent audio/video system that our children enjoy on long trips.
Wouldnt know where to start but I will try. First, build a quality vehicle that dosent result in short term failure of parts and features (traction control and cruise control). Secondly, put a competitive six cylinder engine with 225+ horsepower.
