The Suburban and Tahoe are by far the best-selling models in their class, and they're tough rivals for the Ford Expedition, Toyota Sequoia and Nissan Armada, among just a few others. These two Chevy models are closely related in most ways--although there's a key difference: The Suburban is 14 inches longer in wheelbase and 20 inches longer overall than the Tahoe; and that results in a significantly larger third-row seat than in the Tahoe--as well as easier access to it, and more cargo space.
Compared to rival models, the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban still stand out for their good ride quality and efficient engines, and they handle surprisingly well considering their size and mass. They're also very rugged and versatile, and can be outfitted for off-road toughness, tow ability, and interior luxury as needed.
Chevrolet claims that the Suburban will be the most fuel-efficient model in the full-size SUV class, thanks to its standout combination of fuel-saving technologies like direct injection and active fuel management (cylinder deactivation). Although the profile of the Suburban and Tahoe haven't changed all that much, Chevy has managed to make significant improvements to aerodynamics. Yet chiseled sheetmetal and big, flamboyant wheels (up to 22 inches) help maintain a powerful look.
Compare the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban against similar models
Chevrolet's full-size Suburban and Tahoe SUVs, have been completely redesigned for 2015. While these models are essentially the same size on the outside as those that they replace, GM has re-engineered these trucks for much-improved refinement and ride quality--as well as more power and higher towing capability.
Both model lines get new Chevrolet MyLink touch-screen connectivity in most of their trim levels. Meanwhile, second- and third-row seating has been revamped to include the convenience of a fold-flat arrangement, for added cargo versatility. Additionally, Suburban models get a little more legroom for those in the second row, while a new dual-screen rear entertainment system with Blu-ray DVD player is offered in the Suburban. Otherwise keyless entry and push-button start are both new and widely available in both the Suburban and Tahoe lineups, as are other new convenience features, like adaptive cruise control.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

The Chevrolet Suburban holds title as America's oldest continuously sustained nameplate, a legacy that dates to 1935, suggesting that the basic idea, a big family hauler capable of seating eight or nine passengers, hauling lots of cargo, towing substantial loads, or combinations of all three, has made sense to a lot of buyers for a long time.
This is the 12th chapter in the ongoing story, a makeover that Chevrolet characterizes as all-new. However, just new seems a little more accurate. The foundation, an updated version of the rugged GM 900 truck frame (the Suburban has always been a body-on-frame design), is basically the same one that supported the 11th generation, and chassis and body dimensions are essentially the same.
On the other hand, the sheetmetal, with a distinctive character line running the length of the body just below the greenhouse, is all new. So is the interior. So is the 5.3-liter V8 EcoTec3 engine, although the specs may not reflect this at a glance. Same bore, same stroke, same displacement, and those bore centers date all the way back to the small-block Chevy V8 of 1955. They seem to have become as inviolable as holy scripture at General Motors powertrain engineering.
But this is a much different 5.3-liter V8, with a new aluminum block, new aluminum cylinder heads, new crankshaft, new pistons, higher compression ratio, direct fuel injection. More power: 355 horsepower (380 hp on E85 fuel) versus 320 in the previous version, 383 pound-feet of torque (416 lb.-ft. on E85), enough grunt for a towing capacity of 8000 pounds with four-wheel drive, 8300 pounds with 2WD.
More impressive, there's improved fuel efficiency to go with the increased thrust: 15/22 mpg City/Highway with 4WD, according to the EPA, 16/23 mpg for rear-wheel-drive versions. Pretty impressive for an engine configuration, pushrod-activated overhead valves, that pre-dates World War I.
Equally impressive is how well the new Suburban comports itself on the road. We hear the term car-like driveability in connection with a lot of crossover SUVs, but it's a non-sequitur with vehicles in this size class. Still, the Suburban is gratifyingly prompt in its responses, an active safety plus for a vehicle that's likely to be loaded with kids, and it's a smooth operator in terms of ride quality.
The new skin isn't exactly head-turning, it's hard to make a big two-box truck look like anything but a big two-box truck, but there are enough styling tweaks to differentiate it from generation 11, it's unmistakably Chevy, and aerodynamic efficiency has been improved. Aerodynamic efficiency isn't a concept we associate with a vehicle that has the contours and dimensions of a small garden shed, but the improvement contributes to fuel economy as well as reduced interior noise levels. Much reduced.
There are elements that could be even better. For example, though the new 5.3-liter V8 is robust, there's a senior member of the EcoTec3 family, 6.2 liters, substantially more power, but even though it's an option in the Chevy Silverado, it's not offered for the Suburban. If you want 6.2 power, you'll have to visit a GMC store, it's limited to the Yukon and Yukon XL.
The 5.3-liter is the only Suburban engine for 2015, and the 6-speed automatic is the only transmission, although this last, the transmission, is likely to change in the not-too-distant future.
In this area at least, power, Ford's 2015 Expedition EL will have a slight edge on the Suburban when the facelifted Ford begins rolling into dealerships in the second half of 2014. The extended wheelbase Expedition is the Suburban's only real direct rival, and Ford is replacing its rather tepid 5.4-liter V8 with an Ecoboost (read: turbocharged) 3.5-liter V6. That will give the biggest Ford a little more power than the Suburban, 365 hp, 420 lb-ft, a higher max towing capability (9200 lb), and probably a slightly higher EPA fuel economy rating.
However, the Suburban's makeover is otherwise far more extensive, and based on our exposure thus far we think Chevy's hefty family wagon continues to rule this class.
The 2015 Chevrolet Suburban comes in LS, LT and LTZ models, all with 5.3-liter V8 engine, 6-speed automatic transmission, and fold-flat second- and third-row seats.
Suburban LS ($47,300) comes with cloth upholstery, front bucket seats with 10-way power-adjustable driver and two-way passenger seats, tri-zone climate controls, AM/FM/CD audio, satellite radio, remote vehicle starting, rear view camera, rear park assist, manual-adjustable second- and third-row seats. A font bench seat is optional.
Suburban LT ($52,700) upgrades with leather trim for first- and second-row seats, heated power front seats with memory feature, Bose premium audio, MyLink infotainment system, power liftgate with programmable height, lane departure warning, forward collision alert.
Suburban LTZ ($61,700) adds heated and cooled front seats, fog lamps, HID headlamps, LED daytime running lamps, heated power side mirrors, power tilt/telescope steering column with memory, heated leather steering wheel, keyless entry, pushbutton start, power folding second- and third-row seatbacks, power adjustable pedals, 110-volt power outlet, 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels, blind spot warning, lane change assist, rear cross traffic alert.
Options include four-wheel drive ($3000), navigation system, power-folding second- and third-row seats.
Safety features on all models include a safety alert seat that vibrates if the system determines the driver is at risk of colliding with another vehicle. A rear vision camera comes standard that shows the area immediately behind the vehicle on the audio screen, also helpful for hooking up a trailer. Bucket-seat models include a front center air bag that deploys from the inboard side of the driver's seat and inflates between driver and front passenger for added protection in a side-impact crash. Also available: side blind-zone alert, lane-change alert, rear cross-traffic alert, forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, crash-imminent braking. All Suburbans come standard with seven air bags; anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, trailer sway control, traction control.
The basic shape of the 2015 Chevrolet Suburban is familiar, but the skin is all new, with attention to aerodynamics as well as aesthetics. Alert Suburban-watchers will recognize the subtle distinctions between the new fascia and its predecessor, especially around the grille and headlights. That crease just below the window line, shared with the GMC Yukon, lends some interest to a profile that was previously slab-sided, the side mirrors have turn signal repeaters, and there's a power option for the rear liftgate. Chevy also points out that while there is structural commonality, neither the Suburban nor the Tahoe share any sheetmetal with the Silverado pickup. Wheel options include 18-, 20-, and 22-inch choices.
The inner Suburban is all new, with improved materials, new seats, new (more legible, more attractive) instruments, and enhanced connectivity and infotainment via the MyLink system with an 8-inch color touch screen in the middle of the dashboard. You can't get the new head-up display; GM reserves that for the GMC Yukon lineup. And the fancy High Country interior option that's new this year with the Chevy Silverado isn't available for the Suburban.
Leather trim is offered, but if you want the really posh furnishings you need a Yukon Denali. But leaving that aside, it's hard to find fault with this new interior, even in the standard base model. A couple of upgrades merit mention. First, the design team invested substantial time and budget in noise suppression, making this (and the Yukon XL) just about the quietest rides in their class. Second, the rear rows fold flat, which wasn't true in previous generations. And Chevy offers a power-folding option for the seatbacks, as well as the rear hatch.
The 2015 Suburban may be a smidge lighter than generation 11, but it's still close to 3 tons, with a long wheelbase and a tall profile. Inevitably, that combination limits handling responses and lengthens stopping distances. On the other hand, the chassis engineers have done a very good job with the new suspension tuning, giving the Suburban surprisingly brisk responses to commands from the helm. This is attributable, at least in part, to improved roll stiffness. Though the center of gravity is high in a vehicle of this type, giving mass more leverage in cornering maneuvers, that phenomenon is minimized by suspension spring rates and antiroll bars that limit body roll, allowing quicker recovery in rapid transitions. And it helps that weight distribution is close to 50/50, front/rear.
The steering, a new electric assist power rack and pinion system, is a little numb and rather slow at 3.4 turns lock to lock. But even so, the new rig is agile by big sport-utility standards. This doesn't make the Suburban a slalom star; mass will have its say in any dynamic equation. But it does give the driver a better chance of turning a crash into a near miss. And it does so without sacrificing ride quality, which trends toward firm, a function of spring rates designed to handle substantial loads, but it takes a sharp, nasty bump to find its way to the vehicle's occupants.
Braking is another strong suit, again with a for-its-size asterisk. Brake pedal feel is firm, it's easy to modulate pedal pressure, and the Suburban stops straight and true. We can't testify to fade resistance, other than to say we failed to provoke any fade with a few hard stops, and we don't know about stopping distances other than to mention that GM claims a slight reduction. But we can testify to system function, which is very good.
One final noteworthy dynamic element: interior noise, as in not much. Anyone who's unable to converse at living room voice levels when the Suburban is operating at freeway speeds needs a hearing aid. Wind noise is minimal, road noise ditto, and the only time the engine becomes audible is when the driver tramps on the gas, opening flapper valves in the plumbing and adding a pleasant V8 baritone to the mix.
Smooth, exceptionally quiet, comfortable, capable, and powerful, the latest Suburban continues to be the quintessential big job family wagon. GM's decision to withhold the 6.2-liter V8 engine option from Suburban buyers is a little hard to defend, and with a price escalator that climbs well past $70,000, this vehicle clearly falls into the realm of discretionary spending, exercise discretion with those option boxes. Nevertheless, among vehicles of this type, the new Suburban still ranks as the big cahuna. You can get a fancier version at the GMC store. But with the exception of the increased power option, you won't get any better.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Russell Frazier, 53, was arrested July 17 and was indicted by a grand jury for the offense Aug. 6. The defendant came before Superior Court Judge Hugh Wingfield Sept. 6, asking to be released on bond and was denied.
Frazier tried again Jan. 3 in front of Wingfield and was denied again, but the judge did give him the option of trying his luck with another judge.
Frazier was represented by public defender Len Myers for his first try but hired Macon attorney Sam Hart Jr. for last week's hearing.
Hart pointed out that his client has been incarcerated since July, and, in his opinion, is not a danger to the community.
"He had no previous charges of a sexual nature, and he has had no issues from 1996 to the present," the defense attorney stated.

Deployment causes strong emotions for everyone in the family. It can be especially hard on teenagers, who are often experiencing turmoil of their own simply because of the physical and emotional changes of adolescence. But your support can go a long way toward helping your teenager deal with the difficulties of deployment. In fact, the deployment period can be a time of personal growth, as your teenager takes on added responsibilities and makes emotional adjustments.
As family members anticipate their loved one's departure, they are likely to experience anxiety about the future. The range of emotions your teenager feels may bring about a variety of behavior, including denial, emotional distance, restlessness and negativity. The following are some ways you can help:
Deployment is a time of emotional ups and downs. With a parent absent for an extended period, children may feel lost, empty or abandoned. The following are some ways to help your teen cope during deployment:
Deployment changes everyone, and it can take months to reintegrate the service member into the family. Here are some things that can help.
An extended deployment creates hardship for families. From the moment you receive the news of the extended deployment, you may experience a flood of emotions. Experts agree that a deployment extension is often harder on families than it is on service members. During this difficult time, you may find it helpful to remind your teenager of the following:
If your teenager continues to have trouble adjusting to the stress of deployment, don't hesitate to contact your physician or a mental health professional. Make the call promptly if any of the following behavior continues for more than two weeks:

Darth Vader's Birthday
Bob informed us that today is Darth Vader's birthday. If you are planning on celebrating Mr. Vader's birthday, you may benefit from the following celebration time-line that we used.
1. Leave your child unattended in the kitchen for several minutes and do not return until the silence takes on an eerie quality.
2. Discover that child has emptied contents of 5lb flour canister on kitchen floor while assembling "Darth Vader's birthday cake."
3. Admire cake. (Mound of flour on plate with candles inserted.)
4. Witness child's Darth Vader Birthday Dance and resulting flour trail of family footprints through dining room into child's bedroom.
5. See dog run through house with leash attached to collar. Dog uses leash as flour spreading instrument.
6. Discourage child from cleaning up using toy vacuum to spread flour into TV area. Child insists on "helping."
7. Abandon cleaning when child announces that he can, "hear the worms screaming for help" in the big rain puddle outside.
8. Help rescue worms and slugs by placing them gently on the lawn.
9. Return to house and quickly realize that your wheat gluten allergy includes not merely ingesting but also inhaling flour. Resulting allergic reaction will last no more than 40 minutes.
10. Learn lesson in chemistry when premature use of mop/water combines with residual flour to create "floor paste."
11. Make a birthday wish that Yoda's birthday be celebrated without cake. Spread rumor that Yoda likes ice cream only.

I think that's the best way to celebrate any birthday - but for Darth Vader's? That's incredible :)ReplyDelete
This is too funny! Can't wait to see how he celebrates YOUR birthday.ReplyDelete
This just made me laugh so hard! I can completely picture something like this happening at our house. I'm sure Darth has never experienced such a heart-felt celebration!ReplyDelete
Oh, great. Bob's a better cook than I am.ReplyDelete
And that's what it looks like around here when my husband "helps" with the housekeeping, too!
May the tidiness be with you...
That's pretty much what the kitchen looks like when Obsessed! gets on a crêpe making binge - only my "child" is nearly 40. I think spreading the ice-cream rumor is the wisest course of action...ReplyDelete
I think you need to print out this book as a gift for Lord Vader:ReplyDelete
That is fantastic!ReplyDelete
I love new idea for crafts and activities!
Calee! That is too good. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Bob is pretty much a genius, you must admit. And now I may celebrate Darth Vader's birthday every year.ReplyDelete
Please tell Bob "May the force be with you."
(I really hope that is from Star Wars, or I am going to sound really dumb.)
Much cuter to read than to experience, I'm sure. Just be sure to lock the ice cream up on Yoda's birthday...ReplyDelete
Man, that's a mess. Funny for us. Probably not for you.ReplyDelete
I had no idea that it was Darth's birthday! My daily planner is useless.ReplyDelete
Hahahah. Made me lol.ReplyDelete
I'm a big fan of Darth Vader AND Yoda. I hope I don't forget Yoda's birthday. :)ReplyDelete
I think I peed my pants just a little bit.ReplyDelete
Stop it.
Oh my gosh! I can't believe my kid hasn't done this yet for Iron Man's birthday or someone similar! Very, very, very, funny! That was a lame comment, I know, but it's early here and my brain is trying desperately to wake up!ReplyDelete

To The Editor:
Though I'm not sure where you stand, Doug, on the issues I brought up. I can say that I talked about modern (today's) Republicans, not Eisenhower who I also admire. Eisenhower was much too far to the left to be nominated by either Republicans or Democrats in today's political/economic environment. Not only did he institute the socialist public road system of interstate highways but maintained the high income tax rates that helped build that system. (Remember the top marginal rate was over 90 percent.) Though I think Nixon was a scum, I think he too was much too liberal to be nominated in either party today. Today's Republicans would like both OSHA and the EPA abolished. I didn't accuse them of anything they haven't already told us they want to do. They have said they want to privatize Medicare and social security. They have said they want to loosen restrictions on oil drilling (remember "Drill Baby Drill"). They've said they want to abolish minimum wage and get rid of Planned Parenthood Clinics.
My dislike of Republicans has nothing whatsoever to do with Watergate. I have no idea of the shenanigans leading up to Nixon's resignation. Woodward and Bernstein could argue that better than I. It has to do with their making competition into a moral goal as opposed to something that needs to be controlled and regulated like greed. But my friends on the left would say the Democrats are just as bad. While I disagree with that, Democrats are part of the problem. But I was totally critical of the Democrats in an essay shortly after the national election in November so this little essay was directed at the Republicans.
Robin Lehman
P.S. It makes sense that Martin Luther King was Republican. The southern Democrats of that time were Ku Klux Klan racists. But he wrote a note to Coretta Scott, when he was courting her, saying he tended more toward socialism than capitalism. R.L.

The US Patent & Trademark Office today published a new Apple patent application (via PatentlyApple) that details a flexible material that could be used as a hinge to create a seamless enclosure for devices like the MacBook, for example. Apple details a technical process of using specialized machinery to laser cut "flex apertures" and interlocking features in a rigid material to allow it to bend and function as a hinge. On top of creating a seamless enclosure, Apple claims the process would allow it to reduce the size of devices that are often increased due to traditional hinge solutions. Imagine if the enclosure of a MacBook didn't include that black plastic hinge and instead appeared to be a seamless piece of aluminium connecting the display to the bottom half of the unibody.
While MacBooks might seem like the obvious application for Apple's invention, it also notes the usual list of devices that could potentially use the technology including everything from smartphones to televisions and game consoles. The patent also shows the material being used on headphone cables to allow a flexible connection from the cable to the earbud to prevent damage, and on what appears to be an iPad Smart Cover-like accessory:
It isn't the first time Apple has detailed its plans to create more flexible components that could reduce the size of devices and potentially be suitable for a flexible product like a wristwatch. We've seen patents for flexible displays, flexible batteries, flexible TRS connectors, and we reported back in April that Apple was looking to hire a display specialist to investigate flexible displays and other emerging display technologies.
Today's patent application was originally filed in Q1 2013.
Apple also filed another patent today describing methods of providing an online status for iPhone users so you know if a contact is available to message or call.

Sounds like Apple is attempting to make their devices completely irreparable when they break and force you to buy a whole new device.
That's doubtful since Apple techs need to be able to go in and either repair them or customize BTO systems. Just because iFixit or the like declares something unrepairable, their word isn't gospel. I just had my rMBP's display replaced and it took a very short time. Most modern cars are unrepairable by the standards of the '60s and I don't hear that many people complaining. Progress.
… And watches…
Please put this on the charger cable for all laptops NOW!
Here's a mockup of a Macbook Air with a seamless enclosure:
It's a mindblowing patent, takes unibody devices to a whole new level!

David Lopez's penalty cancelled out Troy Deeney's opener for Watford, but two goals inside two minutes from striker Matej Vydra ensured the Hornets went away with all three points from the Amex Stadium.
On his striker hunt, Poyet said: "We are closer now.
"We are looking everywhere but it's not easy at this time of year. The problem
is the market is not right."
On the game he added: "It was a typical game in that when you are on top, you need to score.
"We failed to take advantage and then it was too open. We tried to address it at half-time but then they scored.
"We were lucky to get back at 1-1 but it was the turning point. We were not the better team.
"The second goal killed us off as Watford responded to the impact of us equalising. We didn't adapt very well and defensively we didn't adapt well.
"Watford's two strikers were much better, as were their centre-halves. Inside the box we were second best. It was not a good day."

Nice collection - I too can't live without 1Password. I keep most all my documents and photos in several cloud services, each with two-factor authentication. AUTHY is my preferred authentication app and lives on my Home screen along with the cloud services. Also, essential for me is Evernote! :)
What's on Ally's iPad right now!
The wallpaper and apps on my iPad Air and why they're there, as of February 2014
My iPad Air serves a different purpose in my workflow than my iPhone 5s. The apps I have installed on each sometimes overlap but for the most part, they're set up completely different. My iPad is what I turn to at home for media and to wind down and relax while my iPhone is my on-the-go choice. I've already given you a look at what apps I have on my iPhone so here's a look at what's currently on my iPad!
- Wallpaper: I change the wallpaper on both my iPhone and iPad quite often but lately I've been a huge fan of regular gradients. In this instance, I just did a Google search for iPad gradient wallpaper and found a nice pink and blue one I really liked. It's been there for about a month now and I've yet to grow tired of it. When I do, it'll get swapped for either a different gradient, or a photo of my dogs.
- Stock apps: There are a few stock apps I always keep floating around my main Home screen and those are Calendar, Messages, Music, Safari, Reminders, FaceTime, Photos, Camera, Contacts, App Store, iTunes Store, Videos, and Settings. These are here because they're the apps I use the most out of all the stock apps. However, I can't wait to eventually replace the stock Calendar and Reminder apps with Fantastical if and when an iPad version is available.
- Mailbox: I've recently found email harmony between Mailbox for iOS and Airmail for Mac. So I've ditched the stock email app and have turned my inboxes into productivity powerhouses. Mailbox is in the dock on all my devices and will stay there unless something better comes along.
- Yahoo Weather: I have several weather apps on my iPhone since that's the device that's with me most often when I'm outside. However, when I'm on my iPad and want to check the projected forecast, Yahoo Weather more than gets the job done, in the most beautiful way of any iPad weather app I've ever seen.
- Flint: - We use Campfire to communicate here at Mobile Nations and Flint by Big Comet is the best Campfire app I've found so far. I use it across my iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Byword: I nail out some serious writing on my iPad when paired with my favorite keyboard case. Byword has been helping me do that on iPhone, iPad, and Mac for years now. I couldn't be happier with it and don't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great writing or Markdown app.
- Reeder 2: I've tried many RSS apps on my iPad and I always end up coming back to Reeder. It's clean, easy to use, and keeps me up to date on all the news I care about most. I've been using Unread on my iPhone but when it comes to iPad, Reeder 2 is still king.
- Facebook: As much as I hate to admit it, I still use Facebook pretty regularly. The official Facebook app is much better than Facebook in Safari and until there's a version of Paper for the iPad, the official Facebook app it is.
- Twitterrific: I frequently switch between Tweetbot and Twitterrific on my iPad but since the Tweetbot app for iPad hasn't been updated yet, I've been sticking with Twitterrific until that happens since it fits iOS 7 much better. I'll re-evaluate when Tweetbot 3 is made available for the iPad.
- Sonos: I recently set up a Sonos system throughout our condo and I'm absolutely in love with it. Whether I want to listen to music in the office, adjust the volume in the living room, switch songs, or group different speakers together, I can do it all from my iPhone or iPad. The app does need an iOS 7 overall badly but it still gives me complete control over my entertainment system and because of that, it earns a spot on the Home screen of every iOS device I own.
- Songza: I love Songza because it does a great job serving up electronic and trance music I actually like. For that reason I gladly pay to be a premium member and it's on the Home screen of every device. I use it at home, in the car, and when I'm at the gym. If you haven't tried Songza, you're missing out.
- 1Password: I use 1Password across every device I own, including my Mac. I depend on it heavily to remember all my passwords and autofill them. I couldn't live without it and that includes on my iPad.
- Trello: We've recently adopted Trello as our content planning tool across Mobile Nations. Being able to launch it on my iPad and view what I have due for the next several days in invaluable. I can even add content, edit things, assign other members of our staff content, and more. It's a great planning and project management tool, all completely free.
- Games folder: Part of winding down for me is playing my favorite games. My current vices seem to be Candy Crush, Farm Heroes Saga, Threes!, Clumsy Ninja, and Octagon. Which one I pick up ultimately depends on the kind of time I have to play. There are also classics in my games folder that I play from time to time including Dots, Bejeweled Blitz, Plants vs Zombies, and more.
That about covers what's on the first Home screen of my iPad. My second Home screen is chock full of folders that are separated by groups like Productivity, Entertainment, Reference, and more. They're apps I don't use nearly as much as everything on the first page. Now I want to hear from you guys! What apps deserve a spot on the first Home page of your iPhone or iPad? Do we have any in common? Let me know in the comments!

What's on Ally's iPad right now!
I have a question for you Ally: it looks like you prefer Mailbox over the stock Mail app. What do you think of Boxer? Just curious.
I just haven't found any to play as nicely with Airmail, which is a must for me. I just added Mailbox in, can't believe I forgot it. :)
We need to make a concerted effort to get Silvio Rizzi to change the icon for Reeder, I dislike it on my iPhone and even more so on the iPad.
Free lite version of ms office just went live at office.com
Trello is a great app for planning, the equivalent of the wall-full of PostIt notes we used for Agile development on the last big game I worked on.
I now use Trello and its great that I can access it from iOS or web, I use it for task lists for the apps I'm working on, and to track user feature requests.
Such nerdy goodness!
Well done and good list. Love it!

Thanks, Ally! Just read your app review from earlier this month on these radio streaming apps (NOT on-demand, right?! ;-) ) and downloaded, signed up for, and am listening to Songza--cool!
So, any trance playlists you recommend?
Edit: wait a minute--I'm browsing and looking for the Trance genre and the list only goes to the letter "S"?! Help me out here..... :-(
Edit 2: OK, I think you look under "Electronica," yes?
Yep electronica. I like the pretty lights playlist a lot.
Sent from the iMore App
Try Mr Reader. I never looked back when Reeder went dormant for a while.
I used it for a period of time. I ended up preferring the flow of Reader.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Shawn1987 outstanding I'm still a little nostalgic over this. I have been shopping for a D Ware Broncos medium for quite some time and finally found it. Dick's said the delivery time would be up to a week and a day after I got the shipped email, it was in my mailbox. Great job guys! Only downside is the lack of the authentic V neck piece that I thought I saw on the picture but I can look past that. September 14, 2014

how the hell can i do this? this site makes it *** near impossible to change it..
I don't know either but I will make sure to shop anywhere but gamestop and i will buy any other magazine then game informer thank you game informer and gamestop for being so unhelpful!
Not really, they have it in all the magazines recently. www.gameinformer.com/godigital
@Pladampa: What seems to be the problem you are having? Let me see if I can help.
cant access my issue. seems like im not the only one
Hi Fallison - We'd be happy to assist - please send an email to email@example.com and include your complete name, address, and the email associated with your digital magazine (as well as a description of the problem you're experiencing) - we'll get it resolved just as quickly as we can. Thanks!
they actually said switching from digital to paper, as in they want to get the physically mailed to them. and i do to, because in the time it took me to read the little bit i do, i was able to watch all of Nightmare before Christmas on TV and an episode of South Park. so how do you switch BACK to physical copies?
yes, PLEASE let us know! I want my physical copies back!
I want to know too!
When I bought my subscription to game informer I was under the impression that I would be receiving physical copies, thus you needed my address, I don't have internet at my apartment currently and thus I don't end up being able to read much of the magazine, as well I do not like reading for extended periods of time on a digital screen. because of this I really want physical issues of Game Informer delivered to my home not digital issues.
@ atdetering - please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and let them know you'd like to convert your digital subscription to print copies. Please include your complete name, complete mailing address (including city, state, zip code and any APT or floor #'s) and the email associated with your digital subscription.
@Ted, thanks so much I'll do that right away!
just call the number on the back of your powerup card and they do it for you.
Thank god the digital version of the mag is horrible on all levels, why did I switch!

Construction of a new classroom at the WarrenElementary School is on track, according to the principal, Wendy Cobb, via the school's newsletter.
The attic has been cleaned and organized by a team of volunteers in preparation for contractors to do their job.
"Thanks again to all of you who helped out in any way! Heidi Hill's classroom was painted and it looks great!" Cobb said.
The attic space was cleared out and the insulation was removed, the electrical demolition was completed, the bridge to the new classroom was framed in and the relocated wall in the lobby is in place. The footing in the basement, for a steel column, is in place.
The deep sink in the art room has been temporarily removed in order to place this column. The art room will still have a sink, however. Putting in this steel column also meant we needed to temporarily move the big mixer in Claire Simpson's kitchen. She assured me she still will be able to use it. The sink and the mixer will be repositioned as soon as possible.
The sprinkler and electrical work began Monday, September 17. The sprinkler work will be complete before school begins. The fire alarm test is scheduled for Tuesday, September 18. The electricity was to be down in the kitchen, front office and Deirdre Fennelly's office for much of this week. School administrator Laurie Jones is temporarily set up in the little room near Cobb's office. The crew will begin framing the floor for the new classroom and work near Katie's Sullivan's classroom will be done before school starts.
The west end of the parking lot near the preschool playground has been fenced off. Cobb asked that parents and students go around to access the playground.
"We also ask that they use the front door to enter preschool classrooms, and not go in through the playground, until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding," Cobb added.

Local commercials stir memoriesWritten by Duane Ramsey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
View classic Toledo commercials here.
Baumhower column: They don't make ads like this anymore
While national commercials may be the stars of the Super Bowl for many of today's viewers, there are classic TV commercials for local companies that people still remember.
One local advertising agency, Don Lea Associates Inc. in Sylvania, had a hand in creating and producing many of those classic commercials for local businesses. The late Don Lea founded the agency in 1969 and it became a source for creative local commercials.
"Don always said it was the oldest ad agency in town that hasn't had a name change or reorganization," said Dave Brown, who succeeded Lea as president of the firm after Lea's death in 2006.
Lea began producing commercials for local businesses in the 1970s and continued into the next century. His daughter-in-law, Laura Lea, is a partner in the agency with Brown today.
"They were very effective and a lot of fun to do," Brown said about some of the spots they created for many local clients over the years. "People watched the commercials because they were entertaining."
Brown said he thinks it all started when the agency began creating commercials for Brondes Ford. In days when commercials were produced on live TV, the Brondes brothers, Don and Phil, were "smashing prices" as they smashed cars' windshields with a large sledgehammer.
The folks at the ad agency got into the act occasionally, such as when Lea modeled the "Super Bee" costume the Brondes brothers used in their commercials. Lea also recruited Brown, who joined the agency in 1975, to play "high-price Harry" in the spots.
Brown said the brothers called them over to film a house that was being moved down Secor Road to use in the commercial where Phil would remark, "We'll take anything in trade at Brondes Ford."
Brown said it was amazing that commercials for one client led to doing spots for another client in the neighborhood where the agency was located.
Don Lea Associates began producing commercials for Modern Floors, which was located on Secor Road just north of Alexis Road. It led to a spot in which owner/founder Dick Knight said, "We may be hard to find but if you'll yell 'Modern Floors', we'll come out and get you."
Knight later moved the business to its current location at Secor and Alexis roads, but still uses the same message in their commercials and people continue to yell "Modern Floors."
"It's one of those advertising hooks that's still very effective," Brown said.
The Brondes brothers often had breakfast with Knight and Joe Janney, former owner of Janney's ACE Hardware store located at Secor and Alexis. Lea and his team were soon creating commercials for Janney's that are remembered today.
The ads featured one of the Janneys saying, "We're going to turn the hardware business upside down," such as a product for 99 cents that would then sell for 66 cents. That beginning led to turning the Janney name upside down on the outside of the store. That upside-down sign can be seen in the background during the outside Modern Floors commercials.
Lea and team also created commercials for other neighbors such as All-American Coach and House of Meats, located on Alexis near their agency's offices.
Tom McGuire, owner of All-American Coach, was taking photos of his daughter and other St. Francis cheerleaders for an ad in the school's sports programs. He called Lea and asked the agency to come over and shoot video of the cheerleaders sitting on top of a motorhome.
Those same cheerleaders are still seen cheering "All-American Coach!" in TV spots for the RV business today, Brown said.
The agency created commercials for House of Meats in which Brown appears holding a burning hot dog. Those spots still run every summer and Brown said people recognize him on the street as the man with the burning hot dog.
"The key is to be entertaining and memorable," Brown said.
Lea also produced some early commercials for John Oswald and The Appliance Center. To this day, Oswald appears in commercials for the retail business in Maumee.
Lea's team was also responsible for putting Jim Earl inside a transmission in early commercials for Earl Brothers Transmissions and Auto Repair. Brothers Bob and Jim Earl continue to appear in their own commercials today.
Another memorable commercial featured local radio personality Bob Kelly playing "Perry Chair" for Perry House Furniture from 1975-86. Chuck Allen was involved in creating the quirky spots featuring Kelly dressed as a lounge chair.
"I made very little money but got a lot of notoriety as people still remember Perry Chair," Kelly said.
Kelly also recorded a number of commercials for Video Connection with his longtime radio partner, the late Dennis Staples.
Don Lea Associates produced a commercial for Jim White Honda that aired locally during the Super Bowl broadcast last year. Local spots are available this year on NBC affiliate, WNWO. The going rate for those 30-second commercials is reportedly between $7,500 and $10,000.
"Today, most advertisers won't take a chance with something off the wall in this economy. They want something that will produce instant gratification in sales," Brown said. "However, there are many more options in media today where you can target your audience with a rifle rather than a shotgun approach."
Brown said the agency is still creating advertising and commercials for about 25 clients.
"We treat all of our clients as good friends and we enjoy it. We're fortunate to have survived when our automotive clients cut back during the recent recession," Brown said.

(December 3, 2012) -- Baylor senior post Brittney Griner has been selected Phillips 66 Big 12 Women's Basketball Player of the Week, as chosen by a media panel. Griner earned her 20th weekly award, tying the all-time women's basketball mark held by former Oklahoma player Courtney Paris (2006-09). TCU guard Zahna Medley was named the league's freshman of the week, picking up her first weekly award.
Griner poured in a season-high 35 points, hitting 16 of her 19 (.842) shots from the floor and draining three free throws in just 22 minutes of action at Rice. In addition, she pulled down nine rebounds, added four blocked shots and dished out two assists. In hauling down her first board of the night, Griner collected her 1,000th career rebound. She became just the second Big 12 women's basketball player to score over 2,500 points (2,572) and garner 1,000 rebounds (1,008). Griner is only the sixth player to eclipse 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds since the Big 12's inception.

It's so irritating when articles mention the multitouch gestures that "never made it to the final release". No, they were never MEANT for the final release.
If you look back, you'll know that Apple is quite interested in removing the home button. With that being said, the multitouch gestures were provided to Devs to test out how they would interfere with their apps.
For anyone who wants these gestures, go play a game like Fruit Ninja or use a DJ app, and then come back and tout the multitouch gestures.
There have been people who say to let them be set per app. Well, if you have no home button, how do you do that?
THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE RELEASED, not that they never made it.
Apple working on new multitouch gestures for iOS 5, illuminated smart bezel for iPhone 5??
PatentlyApple has uncovered some interesting patent applications from Apple involving new multitouch gestures and smart bezels aimed at making interaction more simple and gestures more memorable.
Apple's patent introduces us to mid-drag gestures, microgestures within gestures, and other gesture modification motions performed contiguously within an overall gesture (i.e., without losing contact with the touch-sensitive input surface during the gesture) to provide intuitive ways to interact with a user interface for varying purposes, such as modifying user interface behaviors, changing optionally displayed items, etc.
Apple states that the use of mid-drag gestures reduces the cognitive burden on a user, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to use mid-drag gestures allows for faster and more efficient use of user interfaces, thereby conserving power and increasing the time between battery charges.
Apple did enable some additional multitouch gestures in the beta of iOS 4, but they never made it to the final release. If you are a registered developer they can still be enabled.
The illuminated smart bezel would allow some controls to be moved off the display, so fingers no longer cover areas of the screen. Parts of the bezel could illuminate indicating control regions for starting and stopping media, navigating maps, playing games, etc. While Palm has used a gesture region since the introduction of the Pre and RIM will be using a 1-pixel wide screen border to detect gestures coming off the bezel, and illuminated bezel would offer better orientation for users and the possibility of more dynamic and flexible interactions.
Of course just because Apple patents something is no indication we'll see them in real world software or hardware any time soon, though wouldn't they be interesting in iOS 5 and iPhone 5?

What a pyscho
I'm not. You should see how people blow gaskets, like when they drop their iPhones and expect Apple to replace it for free, or get upset that glass breaks.
The capitalization is for emphasis, not yelling.
It's quite annoying to see articles like this, which then make everyday consumers angry at Apple for not including this, when in fact, it was never meant to be. However, articles like this make it appear that it was pulled at the last minute. Misinformation.
I fly with the stars and the sky's.
I am no longer trying to survive.
Apple did not include complex multitouch gestures on iOS4 because they knows it's silly. There is such a thing as too much touch, and Apple knows it should be restricted to the bare minimum. These are all defensive patents. C'mon people seriously, star? Crossbar? Ohm? What about a touch bezel, wouldn't it defeat the whole touchSCREEN thing and feel like an ATM? We will never see those on a Apple product and for good reasons.
Patents notwithstanding, expect to see those on competitors products trying to jump the gun. Those will have the chance to look silly by thenselves.
I wouldn't be surprised if a few WebOS elements are inputted. WebOS for the most part was very much a product with Apple values.
Along with Jon Rubinstein majority of the team was ex Apple hires. Seems when the Apple guys don't have someone like Jobs towering over them they can come up with cool systems ie gesture controls. That's the only thing I find highly unique of WebOS(I own an original Pre). Multitasking using the iOS cards system was a great step to take.
It also explains, disappointingly, why so many of Palm OS's great tools or features aren't there. Many of the PIM aren't there or are stripped down
That picture looks like android with all that mess. I agree a couple more multi touch gestures would be nice on ipad, like the ones in the beta, but these look very convoluted.
Thanks so much for these forms. They're just what I needed to get me started (^~^,)

If anything, they should come up with a different colored belt system to distinguish itself from BJJ belts earned the traditional way.

The Black Belt Qualification Test
Although you will learn all the techniques required for black belt promotion online, the highest rank you can achieve through Gracie University is four-stripe brown belt. A Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt is more than a master of technique he is an ambassador for the art and a member of the extended Gracie family. Upon earning the fourth stripe on your brown belt, we will invite you to participate in the five-day Black Belt Qualification Test at the Gracie Academy headquarters in Torrance, California. In appreciation of the years of hard work you will have invested into your training, when the time comes, we will allow you to participate in the evaluation at no charge (other than travel and living expenses). During this live evaluation we will test you on all aspects of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu including technique, history, philosophy, and diet (all of which will be available to you through Gracie University). Upon successful completion, we will personally award you your black belt.
I haven't read anywhere about the possibility of a person needing a retest if they fail a video test. Or if they would need to pay the fee again want to retest.

I am laughing my ass off.... I think the humor displayed in this thread is well done and comendable. Sometimes shaking one's head and laughing is the best one can do.
Helio's words imo need no embellishments his comments about time limits and "winning" is to me what always was and will be the strength of the Brazilian stuff which has been adapted to the needs of those in that environment. People always forget where they came from though.... thats part of the human condition and it happens to all the arts eventually. Martial arts imitating life.

It is my contention that this matter would best be solved with fisticuffs. I believe I will be victorious in this regard.
