Anyways, I took a bunch of pictures of my friend bartending and wanted to get some C&C.

Winning isn't always a good thing, even when that thing happens to be the Nobel Peace Prize.
— Nothing gets GOP partisans more enraged than watching Pres. Obama use his rhetorical skills to post a win. It's one thing to win an election after spending less than 4 yrs. in the Senate, but winning a Nobel after just 8 mos. in office?
— Some of the harshest rhetoric came from the RNC. In a statement, Steele not only refused to congratulate Obama, but he said it was "unfortunate" that Obama's "star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights." GOP Rep./ SC GOV cand. Barrett writes "following in the footsteps of Jimmy Carter is not where America needs to go."
— Obama's Rose Garden speech this a.m. was designed to display some modesty. He said the challenges confronting the world "can't be met by one person or one nation alone." Yet, it's hard to believe this will be enough to cool the attacks.
— Meanwhile, a Nobel Prize won't mean much to Senate Dems worried about the perils of a voting for an energy/climate or health care bill. And it only seems to add one more complication to Obama's calculation about sending more troops to Afghanistan.
— The irony: A peace prize is only helping to widen the partisan chasm at home.

That's why so many diets that start as New Year's resolutions drown in pitchers of green beer on St. Patrick's Day, if not sooner.
Logically, there's no reason why a diet should end with a single slipup. What's the worst that can happen? It sets you back a day or two. If your goal is permanent weight loss, what you do six days a week should matter more than what happens on the seventh.
Nutrition Events Near You
In fact, some in the field suggest that a good diet plan should include wiggle room. In other words, you should plan to give yourself an occasional break—in the form of a cheat meal.
More: The Diet Detective: Diet Cheat Sheet
The most popular example is Body for Life. Author Bill Phillips advised readers to follow his strict high-protein, low-fat plan six days a week and then use the seventh as a "free day" to eat whatever they wanted.
Pizza, pancakes, "a Big Mac or two for lunch"—it was all on the table. Those free days, Phillips wrote, "may help convince your body that it is not starving." But even more important is the psychology behind a break. "You don't want to create standards you can't meet," he added.
The Easiest Way to Shrink Your Gut
The 12-week Body for Life program was put to the test in a Skidmore College study. Even with 12 days of anything-goes eating, people on the program reduced their daily calories by 29 percent and lost an average of 11 pounds. But something interesting happened along the way: "Many of the participants grew out of the free-day eating plan early on," says study author Paul Arciero, D.P.E., a professor of health and exercise sciences at Skidmore.
After the first couple of weeks, they were happy with a single cheat meal or an occasional dessert rather than a full day without rules. Although it was impossible to say whether the call to cheat was crucial to the participants' success, Arciero was intrigued; he decided to follow up with several longer-term studies. What he's finding could lead to new and less militant weight-loss strategies. Answer these questions and outsmart the flab monster.

Start reading everything that you can about credit, that truly is the first step of building credit. You will most likely need to start out with a Secured credit card. Check with Capital One, check the link to see if you are preapproved for any unsecured cards and if not, go the Secured route.

We had our accident last Sunday, And the more I think about it, the more used to the idea I get, I'm not exactly 'hoping' for an accident, but I wouldn't mind if it did turn out I was pregnant already if you understand what I'm saying.
I get sick off of bc pills every month, I guess it's the active ones, they make me sick to my stomach for days on end every month. So, I suggested to DH that I either try a different method or don't try anything at all and go for the natural bc methods, and if anything happens, so be it.
He said have you considered a tubal, or me having a vasectomy? I told him no because I would like to try for a little girl around Kaden's 1 year mark. He said 'Is it really so bad being a one child family?'
I don't know about you ladies, but after losing my first, I have decided that I want at least 3 kids, I want to fill my house with all the love and affection that I never got to give to Keegan, if we have more, I'm fine with that too as long as they are spaced out, because I love having Kaden, he is my whole world but he's not all I want. I want to one day have my arms around as many of my babies as I can fit.
We had discussed this before and he agreed, but now, all of a sudden, he wants a vasectomy?
Only wants one kid?
I'm just hurt. I am willing to sacrifice my well being to get my babies here. Because all my pregnancies aren't going to be easy. Every time I ever decide to have a baby, it will be cerclage and bedrest. I will always have to deal with an incompetent cervix, it will be my burden forever, but I am willing to go through to procedure and the pain that comes along with both the placement and removal, because I will always feel cheated.
He said he doesn't want to go through it again. I just really feel hurt that he would think I'm ready at the age of 22 to get my tubes tied, that he would never want the joy of watching our precious baby wiggling on ultrasound, and getting the excitement o learning what it is, and that first wonderful moment where they place them in your arms and you just know it's meant to be, you find total peace with the world and this overwhelming surge of love and closeness to your new family. I want it all.

BELIZE CITY, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Belize's central bank on Friday launched an offer to restructure a $550 million superbond, and said it would not close it unless bondholders agreed to tender at least 75 percent of the outstanding 2029 bonds.
Belize said this week it was confident creditors would accept a restructuring of the superbond, which will mean a longer maturity and lower interest payments.
Under the offer, the maturity will be extended by nine years to 2038 and the interest rate will be set initially at 5 percent for 4.5 years, stepping up to 6.767 percent for the remaining term - a reduction from the current 8.5 percent rate.
The bank said creditors must tender their bonds no later than March 8, and that the transaction was expected to close and the new bonds were expected to be issued on or around March 20.
"Interest on the new bonds will commence accruing on March 20, 2013," the bank said.

The latest addition to the ACS Aerial Unit's inventory of advanced stabilised mounts, the Shotover F1 provides production teams with significant flexibility of camera and lens type with over 120 combinations currently available.
Whether you wish to shoot HD, 4K live or with large lens sensor formats, the ACS Shotover F1 can be configured to the requirements of your shoot. In addition to aerial filming work, the Shotover F1 can be inverted for use on tracking vehicles, boats and cranes. A telemetry control system is also in development to facilitate remote operation, ideal for rail or wire system applications.
The Shotover F1 is supplied with an ACS heli kit (includes monitors, power distribution etc.) and AS350/355 AFSP1 helicopter nose mount bracket as standard. The mount is ITAR free so there are no international restrictions on where the system can be used.
The new Cineflex Ultra is one of the new additions to the ACS Aerial Unit, offering the option of up to 6K aerial filming.
The Cineflex Ultra system combines proven stability with best-in-industry professional broadcast and digital cinematography lenses to provide exceptional range performance and unmatched clarity in the Cineflex Ultra.
Fitted with the Red Dragon, the Ultra is light and compact, making it ideal for aerial filming.
The HD Cineflex V14 is an ultra flexible, lightweight, high performance gyro-stabilised camera system. The system comes fitted with a Sony High Definition camera (Sony HDC-950 or HDC-1500) with various lens options available.
The system can be used as a helicopter camera mount, or rigged to airships, the ACS EyeFlyer as well as CAMCAT and our extensive inventory of Railcam systems.
Various recorder formats are available with the Cineflex mount along with HD video links and SMPTE/Triax cable CCU options for live outside broadcast applications.
An extremely flexible system, it can be inverted instantly and the lens changed in less than 30 minutes. Remote control is provided over fixed cabling, fibre and radio modems. Nose mount bracket options are available for AS350/AS355, 412/212 and Jet/Long Ranger helicopters.
HZC UG 444 customisable user gamma
The HD Gyron 935+ is a state of the art gyro-stabilised high definition broadcast camera mount
Using Fibre Optic Gyros (FOGs) and direct drive motors, the HD Gyron 935+ requires little maintenance and has a stabilised steerable roll (+/- 45° of roll) producing stable images, even at the long end of the Fujinon HA 42x lens on the doubler.
A more robust stabilised mount, HD Gyron 935+ system complete with high definition broadcast camera and lens, can be mounted on helicopters and airships and is easily inverted for use on boats, cranes and tracking vehicles, making it a highly versatile mount.
Our latest addition to the ACS in-house aerial unit, the Inspire 2 drone is a critical aerial tool for filmmakers and has the capacity to fly longer and at higher speeds than other UAVs.
The Inspire 2 has been fitted with a Zenmuse X5S camera, capable of shooting 1080i, 4K UHD and up to 5.2K in Cinema DNG RAW Apple ProRes. Lightweight and easily transportable, it can travel from 0 to 50mph in just 5 seconds, has a maximum flight speed of 58mph (94kph), can fly up to 120m in height and comfortably operate up to a maximum 500m distance from the pilot. A dual battery system means flight times are prolonged to 27 minutes which is considerably higher than other drones on the market.

Genograms : Assessment and Intervention Paperback
by Monica (Robert Wood Johnson Medical School) McGoldrick, Randy Gerson, Sueli Petry
Now updated and expanded in its third edition, and featuring revised genograms for easier reading, reflecting the growing and widespread use of genograms for clinical intervention, this best-selling text provides a standard method for constructing a genogram, doing a genogram interview, and interpreting the results.
Genograms of famous families-Sigmund Freud, Woody Allen and Mia Farrow, the Kennedys, Jane Fonda and Ted Turner, Bill Clinton, Princess Diana, the Roosevelts, and Thomas Jefferson, to name a few-bring the text to life, and help to elucidate the principles of family systems theory and systemic interviewing, which form the basis of genogram work.
Once these principles have been explained, the authors go on to present the important clinical applications of genograms in both family therapy and family medicine.
These applications include the effective assessment of patients' risk for emotional problems such as anxiety or depression; structural patterns among families such as divorce and remarriage; relationship patterns such as enmeshment, conflicts, and cut-offs; recent and chronic life stressors such as pregnancy, acute illness, poverty, and racism; and family life cycle transitions and developmental crises, among other uses.
By providing a fascinating view into the richness of family dynamics, McGoldrick and her coauthors provide an invaluable guide to clinicians for accurately charting a family's structure, making it easier to scan for potential problems and take proactive steps to utilize resources when necessary.

New 2017 T-Shirt and Journal
We commissioned German artist, Peter Voth, to design this year's graphic. It will be available on black Canvas tees soon. We asked Peter to use our font and create something new that highlights some of the things Jimmy and I are into.
Tattoo machines, pencils, and cigars frame the graphic, while a crown and heart support our tagline, "Reformed Theology. Reformed Hearts." Of course The 1689 Baptist Confession is referenced at the bottom of the design, and Peter included the year Doctrine and Devotion was established, 2016.
You can order the shirt now through the Doctrine and Devotion store.

It's easy to say you want financial success. Actions, however, tell the true story. Are you on the road to financial success, or are you still hanging on to one or two of these tell-tale financial disaster behaviors?

1. You Pay Full Price for Everything.

After all, you've got plenty of extra money. It's fun to see something you want and buy it right away. You have to be a little more strategic to save. Develop a habit of taking 24 hours to comparison shop before you buy. Consistent savings on both big items — and things you buy regularly — can add up to hundreds, even thousands over a year.

2. Retirement? Forget About It.

You're living for the now, not for the later. When you put money away for retirement you are saving for a "future you". That "you" is going to want to enjoy life as much as the current you. As you work toward finding a balance between now and later put as much as you reasonably can into your retirement accounts. I promise you no one gets to the future and thinks, "Oh my, we saved too much."

3. You Keep Doing Business with the Same People.

No matter what. You have to separate business decisions from friendships. That means periodically revisiting your professional relationships as far as insurance agents, financial advisors, accountants, or attorneys. Did you hire the person thoughtfully and objectively, or simply because you knew them? Once in a while, you'll want to take a step back and re-assess your business relationships.

4. Change Banks? Nope, Never.

You're already earning a great rate on your accounts, aren't you? If I offered you a couple hundred bucks to fill out a few forms, many of you would think that was a fair trade for an hour or two of your time. That's the trade that may be available to you by changing banks. Yes, it takes time to move accounts — but it may mean more money in your pocket. It pays to look around at least once a decade. You may find something worth moving for.

5. You Always Finance It.

Why save ahead? If you need something, you can use credit. There is something incredibly satisfying about saving up for things in advance. In our current world of easy credit, this isn't a satisfaction people get to experience enough of. Go ahead and give it a try. I dare you. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how it feels.

6. You Don't Ever Say, "That's Not in My Budget This Month."

You've got an image to uphold. It is so refreshing to hear people reply to a social request with something genuine like, "I have other priorities for my money this month." Choose how to spend your money based on your values. When a decision doesn't fit, recognize that — and acknowledge it with a statement that reflects what is important to you.

7. Books? Why Read Books When There's Reality TV to Watch?

It can be easy to pass off bad financial decisions by saying, "I'm just not good with money." That's a choice you make. You can make a different choice and gain knowledge about money matters by committing to give up one TV show a week; instead use that time to read a book about investing, a finance magazine, or an online retirement-focused website.

8. You Don't Seek Professional Help.

You can handle it all yourself. Successful people outsource. They recognize they can't be good at everything. Maybe you need someone to facilitate money conversations between you and your spouse, do your taxes, or provide an objective look at your investment decisions. Whatever it may be, seeking professional help (like a qualified financial advisor) is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of strength.

9. You Acquire No New Skills.

Your career will progress without any effort on your part, right? An investment in yourself may be the best investment you can make. Ongoing learning such as an advanced degree, certification, leadership training, or communication skills courses will help take your career to the next level. Find out what you can do to maximize your earning potential — and go do it.

10. You Set No Goals.

You want to be in the exact same place next year as you are right now. Imagine yourself one year from now. What would you like to have accomplished? Do you want the same amount of money in the bank or more? Write down where you want to be. Then write down the action steps you'll need to take to get there. Now, schedule dedicated time on your calendar to do these tasks. Do this consistently and financial success will be yours.

An ancient pattern begins anew…
Generations of oracles, seers, soothsayers and healers pass a relic of their lineage from hand-to-hand. They protect and prepare one another for the eventual blooming of a mysterious and terrible secret.
Until one among them breaks the chain.
Haylee Garrett, a California farm girl growing up in the '70's, has no idea that she is about to take part in an age-old relay.
With an emotionally remote father, Haylee has become an expert at coping with things on her own. Plagued with worry over her failure to physically mature, she wears sweats and avoids teachers who ask too many questions.
An ability to communicate with animals brings her a sense of acceptance and belonging - one of her few comforts.
On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a drastic development changes everything for Haylee.

Haylee Awakened Bk 1
pain before progress
I can't think of any
Haylee,she seemed so real
When dad woke up and realized he'd been a crappy dad for 11 years
I really liked this book,though it was way too short.Poor Haylee loses her mom and has to figure out life without her.Dad doesn't know what Haylee really is.Haylee,over a few days transforms from a underdeveloped child to a beautiful adult who is treated like a child,plus she has webbed fingers,but only when she wants to.The characters are well written.The narrator was excellent though sometimes the loudness coming thru the characters was jarring next to the regular storytelling.I would like to read more if there is a series.
- Deedra
Great story and performance
Weirdly interesting read
haven't read anything like it
the end was abrupt but left me wanting more, can't wait for the next book

Arkansas raising speed limit for big trucks on rural interstates to 70 mph
"The Arkansas Highway Commission on Wednesday adopted an order eliminating the different speeds, which have been in place for almost 20 years," Oman writes. " Research has shown that the different speeds don't promote efficient traffic flow, and none of the states surrounding Arkansas use the different speeds, according to the order."
Fatalities on Arkansas highways have reached record lows in recent years, with 465 in 2014 and 490 and 2013, Oman writes. Critics, though, argue that the faster a truck goes, the longer it takes to stop. (Read more)

Lessons from Lebanon
There was little Beijing could do after Israeli bombs killed a Chinese UN observer in southern Lebanon. Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said that 'the Middle East people's blood should stop flowing', but those were about as strong as his words got.
For China, the event echoed the American attack on the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia, during Nato bombing in 1999.
Stronger comments came from other sources. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said the attacks on the UN observer post were 'apparently deliberate'. The UN's top humanitarian official, Jan Egeland, called Israel's invasion 'disproportionate' and 'a violation of international humanitarian law'.
According to the World Health Organisation, over 600,000 Lebanese have been forced to abandon their homes. The death toll, mostly of innocent civilians, is already past 600.
The message of the American-supported Israeli action is clear: rules of international law are observable when they suit Israel's immediate interests.
When inconvenient, they can be replaced by brinkmanship and military unilateralism.
Israel's invasion of Lebanon should not have been a surprise for Mr Li. For months, the Beijing diplomatic community has been anticipating an American-supported, unilateral Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. It has been the talk of the diplomatic cocktail circuit.
Investment bankers from London to Zurich have been discussing oil prices breaking US$80 a barrel in that event. Some predict prices passing US$100 a barrel by early next year if a larger Middle East war erupts.
This, of course, would be good news for the oil cronies of US President George W. Bush, but bad for China with its reliance on oil imports.
Beijing think-tanks will be concerned that the national economy could be disrupted by a Middle East military crisis and subsequent oil-price shocks. They will be pondering whether this could lead to the nation's collapse.
This may all be just conspiracy-theory talk reflecting paranoia in Zhongnanhai. On the other hand, nobody in Beijing seems surprised at what is happening.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said: 'A durable solution will be one that strengthens the forces of peace and democracy in the region.' But such words - floating the fantasy of American-style democracy as a panacea for the problems of the Middle East - are only a delaying tactic.
The Israeli invasion could be halted at any time, with one word from Washington. The United States supports Israel with annual grants of US$3 billion, of which US$2.2 billion consists of outright military support. The American taxpayer is ultimately picking up the bill for this invasion of Lebanon.
Diplomats in Beijing had expected Israel to attack Iran using a sophisticated surgical approach with no ground troops, because Iran would be too formidable to attack on the ground - unlike Iraq, which was crippled by years of economic embargoes.
But somebody in Washington gave the matter some thought, and the decision was taken to attack the weaker state - Lebanon - bypassing Iran for the moment. This reinforces an emerging pattern: invade weakling states and negotiate with those that may have strength.
Do you remember when Saddam Hussein told the UN that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction? Then America and Britain immediately invaded the country.
Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong-il declared he had nuclear weapons, and America patiently joined the six-party negotiations in Beijing.
So the lesson for China is clear if it wants to preserve peace in the region. For Mr Li, the best strategy in China's interest is to keep those six-party talks going, for as long as possible.

Chevy Aveo Hatchback
pbol Posts: 15I know They are on forums pushing other products,and not just this forum,It can be any forum related to items.And to say it would be stupid for the saleman to do this,Not really,If they can degrade a car or any product on here saying it has to many problems,that would drive you to look at something else,Dont believe dealers or salesman,They will lie to their own grand mother to sell a car !
Hey, this could be the next Aveo !
Well considering the current 5 door hatchback, and even the sedan, is already sold all over the world, and GM owns the Opel car company already,...and brought over an Opel for Cadillac for a few years as a small luxury car, the 'little Caddy' that was out for a few years in the early 2000's. Bringing THIS car here is easy for them to do. Thats why they brought the 'Kalos' here and slapped on the Aveo name on it. It's known by all sorts of names all over the world. That one looks alot like the Honda Fit. I'd trade mine in on it. IF it really got better mileage. Wonder if they will manage to get REAL 30mpg out of this model??
I bought a good digital tire pressure indicator and got my Aveo exactly down to the manufacture's recommendation. I notice my mpg and handling improve a little. This will also improve the life of the tires. Just a small advice.
rustywp Posts: 3Hey, I have an Aveo 2006 and the hatch broke in Columbus last month on a Wednesday in the afternoon (I live in Dayton, 80 miles from Columbus). Today, I was at the very same location in Columbus, and the hatch broke again! So, as long as I don't try to open the hatch on a Wednesday in Columbus...LOL!
Do you need to know how to get it fixed right? Or are you just commenting on an old posting of mine,and how yours is now acting like mine use to..till the dealer finally fixed it right after like 6 tries!? :confuse:
I just purchased an AVEO as well and owned a Geo Metro just like you. I loved my metro and it was also trouble free. It was a 97 2-dr hatchback 4cyl lsi and has 83,500. Hate to sell it but don't need TWO small cars! Hope I have as good luck with the AVEO.
Help! what is the correct tire pressure?
PF_Flyer Pennsylvania Furnace, PAPosts: 7,833grace4ever, you've posted this question in several places. I don't know what the correct pressure is, but in this post:
pf_flyer, "Chevrolet Aveo Tires/Wheels" #7, 17 Jul 2007 11:54 am
I've pointed out where you should be able to find it.
Your car is a 2007, there SHOULD be a label, either on the door itself, or in the door frame on the driver's side of the car. That label also has information on the proper size tires that the vehicle should use.If it's not there, for whatever reason, a call to your dealer will solve the mystery.

I saw on another site that the Aveo 5 door will get the same front end of the sedan, along with the sedans interior. The tail-lights also will be changed, but it appears the rest of the car is the same.
Hi Poncho...
What site did you see these changes for the 5 door? I'd like to check it out.
Please inform. I'd sure appreciate it!
Many thanx...
AladdinSane<--- :shades:
I saw it on autob--g. Edmunds doesn't want other sites listed. Let me know if you can't figure it out. If you find the site, just type the Aveo information in the search engine.
Here is another site where I should be able to post this info being they have no forum. The pictures are in disguise.
http://thecarblogger.blogspot.com/2007/07/spied-2008-chevrolet-aveo5-caught.html- -
Hi poncho...
Thanx 4 the info! I appreciate it!! I dug the 4-1-1 with the new 5, and I hope Chevy improves on it soon. What did U think of the "facelift"...?
Chevy could have a real winner with the AVEO line if it only turned on to certain details that peeps want for this little critter of a machine, to keep it more of a competitor for the Fit, Yaris, etc, in the B class. Chevy: WAKE UP!
Peace<-AladdinSane-- :shades:
It was kind of strange that they chose to not do them at the same time. Though the styling is still very European from which it was styled in Italy, because of the new competing models it was do for some updates. It looks better but im not sure why they didn't refresh the whole car, and why don't they bring the 3-door hatch here as well. The engine in one configuration or another has been around since the 1980's. I had this engine in a different form in my 1988 Pontiac Lemans (Daewoo). They should work on getting a few more mpg out of it. In a sub-compact shoot-out that I saw on MotorWeek TV this past spring, only the Nissan Versa had lower overall mileage during the test.
Tire Pressure is recommended as 30 PSI for all. You can increase your front tires to 31.
Hi Rober4380, the Suzuki Forenza is a rebadged GMDAT (GM Daewoo Auto-Tech Korea) car sold thru Suzuki USA as a limited partnership agreement with GM. So if you decide on the Forenza you will still be supporting GMDAT with your $$. Also, I think you should compare the upcoming new 2008 AVEO HB to the Forenza and the new AVEO sedan before deciding. I think you'll change your tune - the AVEO is a far better car than the Forenza which is simply an old Daewoo car that hasn't been updated for years and years.
I have my tires at 36 PSI and found an increase in fuel economy. :shades:
Wow, 36 PSI. If you read the side of the tires, 36 is really not out of spec. But, 36 is kind of hard on the ride and my back. 36 would definetly increase fuel economy.
Like I have said in several posts. I have mine at 34-36psi as well, to get that 1-2 extra mpg! And to get a more 'German car' feel of a ride,and it feels like your driving...not just pulling the car along behind you. In my opinion. And anything to get more mpg! Geez!! The things we have to do! At 30-32 psi, it is like riding with 4 flats...to me. And the mileage drops real fast at the low 30's. But it gives you a softer and quieter ride. But I would rather get the mileage...if the darn thing would get 30+ mpg in the city, I would drop it to the low 30's.
Here is a look of the new 2008 Aveo hatchback. It has a change in the front and will have sedan interior.
I have seen it a couple times before. I don't understand why they don't do the whole car like the 4-door. They only did the front, back, and interior.
The Aveo5 was and is a big hit for GM. That's why they did not want to tamper with it. Well, I can say I like my 2006 Aveo way over this 2008 one. What do you guys think?
My 2006 hatchback with the charcoal seats with the blue threads running through it...has now ripped 2 times in the same place, at the upper part on the right side where the back of the cover meets the side of the seat where my shoulder would hit...IF I were that tall. My shoulder doesn't even hit it...but so far they have replaced the cover 1 time, and now yesterday I see it is ripping again right at the seam in the same spot as the first time. It is ripping at the seam. So it is not ME ripping it or cutting the fabric, it is the seam pulling apart...and at a place where there is no weight at all!
I cant belive how cheap this seat is. Has anyone else had this problem with their drivers seat?
They are ordering another cover of course,but the 'trim manager' said that IF it rips again...they will 'sow it back together...THAT would be stronger than the factory seam'! And that 'it is such a bi--h to get that cover on the seat frame'! His words not mine. I said then why dont you just sow this seam back if that will be stronger? No reply! So far I have told them that the bottom seat cushion has been sinking since 2 months after I bought it..they didnt care. Then it ripped at the seam, now it is ripping again in the exact same place, and they won't sow it...even though THEY say it would be a stronger seam...and won't give me a reason why.I think the seat is defective...from the factory.
I am NOT a 400lb person bouncing up and down on the seat. I have dialed the seat up as high as possible with that dial on the side. And I now have 2 big towels folded and sitting on them to fill in the 'hole' I am sitting in!
Anyone else having such problems with their CAR seat? :confuse:
I wonder who makes these seats for them, and what other manufactures are using this brand as well?
No i've not had any problems with anything in my 2007 aveo sedan.
No, I have not any trouble like that with my 2007 Aveo hatchback.
I gave up my 97 metro hatchback for a 2007 Aveo Hatchback. I LOVED THAT METRO - IT WAS THE GREATEST, but my husband decided i needed something better. It took me a while, but I finally warmed up to my Aveo Hatchback and it is a wonderful car. It is fun to drive, gets good gas mileage (not as good as the Metro, though) and handles really well. From one Metro owner to another - I think you'd like the Aveo. I still haven't had the heart to get rid of my 97 Geo Metro yet. Much to my husbands dismay, it's still sitting in our garage
I have no such problem with my 2006 Aveo. I know a 300 pounds guy that had the same problem with his Toyota. So, he purchased a good seat cover and put it over his driver seat. He also added a seat cushion. His problem was solved.
Well thankfully I'm not that heavy, and since our front seats have side impact airbags,you can't put seat covers on them,or the airbags won't deploy in an accident. And a car seat should be able to hold even a 300 lb person. It might rip over time for someone that heavy,..but this is 2 times in 15 months...and the first time it ripped was at less than 1 year.
AND as I have mentioned, the seat cushion has been going soft since 2 months after I bought the car. And have complained about that to GM ever since,thinking that might be why it is ripping on the back cover. They are FINALLY offering to add foam padding to the bottom seat this time.

Antique Varnish Series
This line of guitars is built on a mix of time-honored craft and ahead-of-the-curve thinking utilizing classic technique with a decidedly fresh approach. It is designed to make such a rare and labor-intensive feature more available to guitar enthusiasts, with the proof in the distinctive look and sound.
The process itself, features six distinct steps starting with a basecoat application to fill the grain, then moving to color application, and concluding with a French polish. Ultimately, three or four coats of material are applied and sanded thin. The result is softer than lacquer, creating a smoother tone.
We have also added Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers or Antiquity P90's, TV Jones brushed nickel classics, and aged Gotoh hardware to make it possible to own a brand-new, vintage feeling, "antique" instrument fresh out of our workshop.
Browse our new Antique Varnish Series guitars. NOTE: Prices shown are for USA and Canada only.

I spend a lot of time around books. I read numerous reviews, pay attention to the buzz about new titles, and talk incessantly with my friends about what we're reading. In spite of that, I sometimes miss a wonderful author, wondering after his or her books have come to my attention how in the world that happened. Of course, I guess there is an upside to this; once you discover someone who already has a body of work, you have a treasure trove of titles to explore, whereas discovering an author with the first novel means you have a wait for the next one.

The present invention relates to protective packaging techniques, and more particularly relates to an apparatus and method for forming embossed foam panel cushions for packaging objects within containers.
The present invention is related to foam-in-place packaging, and offers an alternative to high inventory packaging materials such as corrugated board forms and premolded polymer (e.g. polystyrene foam) packaging forms.
Foam-in-place packaging is a highly useful technique for on-demand protection of packaged objects. In its most basic form, foam-in-place packaging comprises injecting foamable compositions from a dispenser into a container that holds an object to be cushioned. Typically the object is wrapped in plastic to keep it from direct contact with the rising (expanding) foam. As the foam rises, it expands into the remaining space between the object and its container (e.g. a corrugated board box) thus forming a custom cushion for the object.
A common foaming composition is formed by mixing a diisocyanate with propylene glycol in the presence of some water and a catalyst. These precursors react to form polyurethane while at the same time generating carbon dioxide gas. As the gas escapes, it forms the foam cell structure that protects the packaged object.
In other types of foam-in-place packaging, the foam precursors are injected into a plastic bag which is then dropped into a container holding the object to be cushioned. The rising foam again tends to expand into the available space, but does so inside the bag. Because the bags are formed of flexible plastic, they form individual custom foam cushions for the packaged objects. In several techniques, a specific apparatus is used to make the bag from plastic film while concurrently injecting it with foam. Exemplary devices are assigned to the assignee of the present invention, and are illustrated, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,027,583 and 5,376,219, and in pending application Ser. No. 08/514,010 filed Aug. 11, 1995 for "Compact Packaging Device for Forming Foam Filled Cushions and Related Method," the contents of each of which are incorporated entirely herein by reference.
Such foam-in-place packaging has gained wide acceptance in many industries. The nature of the technique and the cushions, however, are such that each individual cushion forms a shape that is dictated by a number of variables including the size and shape of the object being packaged, the size and shape of the container, the position of the object in the container, and the placement of the bag in the container before the foam finishes rising. As a result--and indeed as an advantage in many circumstances--each foam cushion tends to be a unique customized shape different from almost all other similar cushions. Any cushions that turn out similar or identical do so only by random chance. Accordingly, such random foam-in-place packaging cushions are highly sought after in packaging situations where different objects of different sizes and different shapes must be placed in different boxes on a regular basis. In such circumstances, cushions limited to specific shapes and sizes would represent a disadvantage rather than an advantage.
There are, however, other packaging applications in which similar or identical objects are repeatedly placed in similar or identical orientations in similar or identically sized containers. Such circumstances greatly decrease the need for continuously varying custom cushion sizes, and instead increase the need for more standard packaging elements that have a consistent size and shape.
To date, such standard packaging has been provided by several types of materials. Premolded polystyrene foam is one such common example, as are precut corrugated board (sometimes referred to colloquially as "cardboard"), pressed paper, and other similar materials.
Although such materials are quite useful, their precut (e.g. corrugated board) or premolded (e.g. polystyrene foam) nature requires maintaining an inventory of such materials that corresponds to the inventory of items to be packaged. Accordingly, in situations where a large number of objects must be packaged and shipped, a correspondingly large inventory of the packaging cushion materials must be kept in the immediate vicinity. Because the nature of most cushioning materials is such that they have a high ratio of volume to weight, they tend to take up a relatively large amount of space. Accordingly, such space must be provided and maintained in the immediate vicinity of the objects to be packaged. In a business environment, such inventory space represents a cost. Accordingly, a significant space savings represents a significant cost savings.
Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a more standardized type of foam cushion that can be made on demand and yet which will consistently match or complement the shape of an object being packaged as well as the container in which the padded object is placed.
The invention meets this object with a method of preparing a defined foam cushion for packaging purposes which comprises placing a foamable composition into a plastic bag, maintaining the bag in an orientation that provides the bag with a defined solid geometry while the foamable composition expands into foam, and embossing at least one surface of the defined geometry bag after the foam has substantially finished expanding but is not completely hardened.
In another aspect, the invention comprises an embossed foam cushion.
In yet another aspect, the invention comprises an embossing apparatus that includes means for temporarily positioning and securing a foam-in-bag cushion, a template, and means for pressing the template against a foam cushion in the positioning means.
In another aspect, the invention comprises a method of packaging items using an embossed foam cushion.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages of the invention, and the manner in which the same are accomplished, will become more readily apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred and exemplary embodiments and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a packaged object;
FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an object to be packaged, an embossed pad according to the present invention, and a container for the packaged object;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines 3--3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of an apparatus according to the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view taken along lines 5--5 of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a foam cushion panel being embossed according to the method of the present invention; and
FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of an item wrapped in an embossed panel according to the present invention along with its intended container.
In a first aspect, the invention is a method of preparing a defined foam cushion for packaging purposes; i.e. a cushion whose shape is defined before the object to be packaged is placed therein. The method comprises placing a foamable composition into a plastic bag, maintaining the bag in an orientation that provides the bag with a defined (i.e. other than by the object) solid geometry while the foamable composition expands into foam, and embossing at least one surface of the defined geometry bag after the bag has substantially finished expanding but has not completely hardened. Stated differently, the bag's geometry is defined prior to any contact between the bag and the packaged item.
In preferred embodiments, the step of placing the foamable composition into the plastic bag comprises injecting the foamable composition from a remote supply of the foamable composition. As noted above, many foamable compositions are advantageously formed from two liquid precursors. As a rule of thumb, these precursors expand to over 200 times their liquid volume when they form foam. Thus, the use of the remote liquid precursors greatly reduces the need for packaging inventory space, and provides increased flexibility for locating the chemical precursors within any given facility. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the types of compositions useful as foam precursors. Exemplary compositions are widely available, including those from Sealed Air Corporation, Saddle Brook, N.J., the assignee of the present invention.
In preferred embodiments, the method of placing the foamable composition into the plastic bag can comprise placing the foamable composition into a tube and sealing both ends of the tube, or placing the foamable composition into a preformed bag through an opening in the bag and thereafter sealing the opening, or most preferably, forming the plastic bag while placing the foamable composition therein. In addition to the apparatus and methods set forth in the U.S. Patents and applications cited above for this purpose, Applicant's copending application Ser. No. 08/724,736 filed Oct. 2, 1996 for "Foam Cushioning Panels for Packaging Purposes" also provides a useful technique for carrying out the step of maintaining the bag in a desired orientation while the foam forms, and is likewise incorporated entirely herein by reference. As noted in these patents and applications, the step of forming the bag also generally further comprises the step of forming a vent opening in the bag to permit gases generated by the foamable composition to escape without otherwise rupturing the bag.
In preferred embodiments, the step of maintaining the bag in an orientation that provides the bag with a defined solid geometry comprises maintaining the bag in an orientation that provides at least one flat surface, and in which circumstance the step of embossing the surface comprises embossing the flat surface. Most preferably, the bag is maintained in an orientation that provides a rectangular panel, one of the major surfaces of which is embossed. The step of making a flat panel cushion for packaging purposes is set forth in complete detail in copending U.S. Ser. No. 08/724,736 as noted above.
As used herein, the state in which the foam has finished expanding, but not yet hardened, represents the point at which the generation of gas from the chemical reaction has substantially ceased, or has otherwise reached a point of little or no effect. The overall polymerization reaction takes a little longer, however, thus providing a window of opportunity when the foam structure is flexible enough to be embossed, and to retain the embossed pattern, while not yet so resilient as to prevent embossing or to emboss less crisply than desired.
Thus, if the bag were to be embossed before the foam had finished expanding, the continued gas generation would tend to blur or eliminate the desired embossed pattern. Alternatively, if the bag were to be embossed after the polymer had fully cured, the embossing step could conceivably collapse the cell structure to an extent sufficient to weaken the cushion and render it useless for its intended purpose.
In preferred embodiments, the step of embossing the surface of the bag comprises pressing the surface with a raised pattern. It will be appreciated that embossing the surface by compressing the surface causes the foam density in unembossed regions of the cusion. In the most preferred embodiments, also the step of embossing the surface comprises embossing the surface with one or more creases that extend sufficiently into the bag to form a fold line at which the bag can fold around an object to be packaged.
Accordingly, in another aspect, the invention comprises a method of packaging an object with a defined foam cushion, the method comprising placing a foamable composition into a plastic bag, maintaining the bag in an orientation that provides the bag with a defined solid geometry while the foamable composition expands into foam, embossing at least one surface of the defined geometry bag after the foam has substantially finished expanding but is not completely hardened with a press having portions that compliment the shape of the object to be packaged, placing the object to be packaged adjacent the complementary shaped portion of the embossed bag, and placing the object and the cushion in a container that supports the cushion and the object. In the most preferred embodiments, the container is then closed to fix the position of the wrapped object and the cushion and thereby form a defined cushioned package for the object.
The drawings illustrate a number of aspects of the invention, including the described method. FIG. 1 illustrates a cushioned package broadly designated at 10. The package is formed of a rectangular solid container 11 which in preferred embodiments is typically formed of corrugated board. A packaged object illustrated as the iron 12 is in the container 11 along with a foam panel 13 that is adjacent portions of the iron 12 in the container 11. The foam panel 13 has embossed portions 14, 15, 16 (best illustrated in FIG. 2) on at least one surface that are in contact with and that complement the shape of the packaged object. In preferred embodiments, the foam panel 13 comprises a plastic bag 17 that encloses the polymer foam portion 18 and that substantially complements to the shape of the polymer foam portion 18, including the shape of the embossed portions 14, 15 and 16. Typically, the plastic bag 17 is fixed to the polymer foam portion 18. As noted with respect to the method, in preferred embodiments, the embossed pattern includes creases 15 that allow the panel 13 to be more conveniently folded so that when the item and the panel are packaged in the container (FIG. 1) the panel 13 is folded at the creases 15 in the container 11.
In preferred embodiments, the polymer foam comprises polyurethane, and the plastic bag comprises polyethylene. Nevertheless, those skilled in the art will recognize that although these are convenient and widely available materials, they are not limiting of the materials that can be used in accordance with the invention, and any suitable foam composition and bag material will suffice.
The cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 also illustrates the relationship between the packaged object 12, the foam panel 13, and the closed container 11 when the packaging step is complete.
In another aspect, the invention comprises the embossed foam cushion itself. As just noted, the cushion comprises a portion 18 of polymer foam having a solid geometry, an embossed pattern 14, 15, 16 on at least one surface of the polymer foam portion 18, and a plastic bag 17 that enclosed the polymer foam portion and that substantially conforms to the shape of the polymer foam portion including the shape of the embossed pattern.
As further noted previously, the plastic bag 17 is preferably fixed so the polymer foam portion 18 preferably forms a foam panel with at least some embossed creases 15.
If the bag 17 is made according to one of the methods described above, it will typically include two, three or four sealed edges and a ventilation opening of some sort, most preferably the plurality of small openings set forth in copending application Ser. No. 08/724,736 filed Oct. 2, 1996, and referred to above.
FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 illustrate an apparatus according to the invention for preparing an embossed foam cushion for packaging purposes. The apparatus comprises means shown as the receptacle 20 for temporarily positioning and securing a foam-in-bag cushion, and particularly a panel shaped cushion in the drawing of FIG. 4. The apparatus further includes a template 21 (FIG. 5) and means, shown as the plurality of reciprocating hydraulic cylinders 22 and the template mount 23 for pressing the template 21 against a foam cushion 13 in the positioning means 20. If desired or otherwise advantageous, the cylinders 22 can be pneumatically-driven or motor-driven, both types of equipment being well-understood in this art and generally easily available.
FIG. 5 illustrates that in preferred embodiments, the template comprises raised portions 24 and 25 that compliment the shape of an object to be packaged. In FIG. 5, and consistent with the remainder of the illustrations, the raised portion 24 compliments the handle of the iron 12 while raised portion 25 compliments the heating surface of the iron 12. In these most preferred embodiments, the raised portions of the template 21 include at least one anvil 26 that embosses a folding crease into a foam panel cushion when the cylinders 22 and the template mount 23 press the template 21 against the foam panel 13 in the receptacle 20.
The hydraulic cylinders 22 are otherwise conventional, and the particular arrangement of the cylinders 22, the template mount 23, the template 21, and the positioning means 20 can be developed by those of ordinary skill in this art and without undue experimentation. The materials used are similarly conventional, and in particular, wood provides a lightweight, inexpensive, and readily workable material for the template 21.
As noted above, the foam panel 13 can be produced on demand from a much smaller liquid volume. Accordingly, the method, apparatus, and embossed foam cushion provide a highly efficient method of providing defined packaging materials while at the same time greatly minimizing, and for many practical purposes eliminating, the need to keep a large volume of packaging inventory on hand.
In the drawings and specification, there have been disclosed typically preferred embodiments of the invention and, although specific terms have been employed, they have been used in a generic sense and descriptive sense only, and not for purposes of limitation, the scope of the invention being set forth in the following claims.
