Housing & Dining
Spring 2015 Closing Information
Between finals and determining your summer plans, the end of the spring semester can be a stressful time. Here is what you need to know to make your departure from the residence halls a successful and efficient move out experience.
The residence halls close at 2pm on Sunday, May 10, 2015. What are your plans for the end of the year?
- I plan to move out prior to the residence halls closing.
- I need to get approval for Extended Stay Housing because I need to remain on campus for a college-related reason.
Closing Procedures
Schedule a Check Out appointment with an RA
This appointment must take place no later than 24 hours after your last final exam, and before 2pm on Sunday, May 10, 2015. Failure to do so may result in an improper checkout fee and/or other fines.
Prepare for the RA's arrival for the Check Out appointment
- At the time of the scheduled appointment, the RA will come to your room to conduct a room inspection, making note of any changes in the condition of your room since Move in. The RA will also collect keys, assess the cleanliness of the room, and officially check you out of your room..
- You must have all your belongings packed and either in a cart or in the car. The living area (including suite common areas and bathroom if applicable) should be in "broom clean" condition, and you should have said your 'goodbyes' to friends. If you fail to schedule a check out appointment with an RA, miss your appointment or are not packed and ready to go when your RA arrives, you will be charged a minimum $50 Improper Checkout fee.
Avoid the Rush and Plan Ahead
Approximately 75% of our resident students tend to move out over the final two days of the semester (this year, May 9 and 10). This can create gridlock within the residence halls and congestion along Boylston and Washington Street. If time and proximity allow, we encourage you to send home a bulk of your belongings the weekend prior to your final departure for Summer Break - this will likely provide for a faster and more enjoyable Move Out for you and your parent/guardian.
The College does not have secured storage areas, and on-campus summer storage of student possessions is not available. Any personal items left in rooms after closing will be considered abandoned property and will be removed and discarded at the expense of the resident. However, during summer break periods or while they are at an External Program, some Emerson College students find it beneficial to store their belongings rather than moving/shipping them home. Should you consider this option, please protect yourself by taking the time necessary to investigate the storage companies you are considering. Please also know that pick-up of your belongings MUST occur no later than Friday, May 8, 2015. Emerson College does not endorse any particular storage vendor, however, some important items for you to research prior to choosing a storage company include:
- Is the storage company insured? Have you secured proof of insurance?
- Does the storage company have their own storage facility or do they contract for storage space with another vendor?
- Is the storage facility climate controlled?
- How long has the company been in business? Can they provide references?
- Have any claims been filed against the company through the Better Business Bureau or Attorney General's Office?
- What is the cost for pick-up, storage and delivery?
Laundry Carts
Laundry Carts are in high demand during Move Out, and the College cannot provide one cart for every resident student. Therefore, we encourage you to talk with your parent/guardian about bringing a hand truck or dollie from home to assist with Move Out.
Parking and Loading
The area along Boylston and Washington Street will be reserved on May 9 and 10 for active loading of vehicles only. This means that families CANNOT park along Boylston unless you are en route with your belongings to load up the car. Cars that remain along Boylston and Washington Street for longer than 10 minutes will be asked to move to allow for the loading of additional cars, and drivers of cars that fail to leave after that 10 minute period run the risk of receiving a minimum $50 Improper Checkout Fee.
Communicate with your parent/guardian about Move Out
We ask you to plan ahead and communicate with your parent/guardian regarding the time of your scheduled move out, their estimated arrival to campus, storage plans, etc. In addition, on the day of your departure from campus, we ask your ride to call you when they are 10–15 minutes from campus to check on your progress and make your final Move Out plans accordingly (i.e. if you are ready to pack up the car, your ride can pull up along Boylston, and if you are not ready, your ride can park at a meter or in an area parking garage.)
Mail Forwarding
For Students returning to live on the Boston Campus in Fall 2015:
It is the students responsibility to provide a mail forwarding address to the Emerson College Mailroom in order to have their US Postal mail forwarded to their preferred summer address. Students can complete an online mail forwarding request form. You must login using your Emerson username and password no later than Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Mail forwarding will begin on Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Please see the following guidelines for mail forwarding:
- If a student does not complete a mail forwarding request online by Tuesday, May 19, 2015, their mail will be returned to sender.
- Mail cannot be held for students during the summer months Mail cannot be forwarded to addresses outside the US. Arrangements should be made to have addresses changed with businesses, campus, creditors, etc prior to your checkout.
- Only 1st Class mail can be forwarded. Campus mail, standard mail, non-profit organization mail, and special deliveries cannot be forwarded. Therefore, it is important that students notify businesses, bill collectors, family, and friends of their change in address in order to avoid potential concerns.
- Deliveries from FedEx, UPS, and other parcel carriers cannot be forwarded. Packages and letters sent through these vendors will be returned to sender.
- We strongly encourage you to set a reminder for yourself to change addresses with carriers with whom you have regular deliveries.
For students not returning to live on the boston campus in fall 2015:
If you are graduating, moving off-campus, taking a leave of absence, withdrawing or any other reason that results in you not living on campus in Boston for Fall 2015, your mail will NOT be forwarded by the Emerson College Mailroom. You MUST forward your mail through the US Postal Service.
Extended Stay Housing
If you are remaining on campus beyond 2pm on Sunday, May 10, you must have a College-related or OHRL approved reason to stay on campus, AND you must apply for Extended Stay Housing by April 23, 2015.
Approved reasons for Extended Stay Housing may include:
- Serving as a Desk Assistant working between May 10 and May 17.
- An employee of a campus office or department working beyond May 10.
- An Orientation Leader staying for May Training
- A Commencement Volunteer
- A graduating senior who currently lives on campus
- Working or attending the EVVY's (Students attending the EVVY's will need to indicate their ticket number on their Extended Stay Housing application)
Extended Stay Application and Approval Process
This year, students will apply for Extended Stay Housing online. The online housing application will be available between April 6-April 23.
When you apply for Extended Stay Housing, you will also apply for your preferred date and time to check-out.
You will then receive notification by May 1 regarding whether you have been approved for Extended Stay Housing. This notification will also inform you of your assigned check-out date and time.
Regulations during the Extended Stay Housing Period
- Students currently on College, disciplinary or Housing probation MAY NOT PARTICIPATE in Extended Stay housing!
- Only graduating seniors and OHRL staff may have off-campus guests.
- Alcoholic beverages are not permitted in any residence hall.
- All other college rules, policies and regulations remain in effect.
- Failure to check out at your assigned check-out date and time will result in a minimum improper checkout charge of $50
- Housing extensions are only made for the purpose stated on the Extended Stay Agreement. Any students who do not participate in the activities for which they have been approved will be subject to conduct follow up. This may include a minimum $25 per day fine and could jeopardize their 2015-2016 housing.

Lessons from the Happiest Nation on Earth.
Happiness is… a modest life in Denmark, apparently.
"Don't depend too much on the American Dream," advises a Danish college student. "I think you might get disappointed."
And one might do well to heed his remarks. The World Map of Happiness, produced by England's Leicester University, names Denmark the happiest nation on earth, a rank the country has maintained for the last 30+ years. To what do the Danes attribute their happiness? Surprise, surprise. It seems the American bigger-is-better ethic is due for a downsizing.
Cultivating Modest Expectations
"Good enough," could be a credo to live by. Danes aren't less ambitious than Americans, but they don't expect as much material wealth. A Dane isn't likely to yen for a Beamer or a yacht. That way, when she does acquire something of monetary value, she's surprised and pleased. On the other hand, when she loses it, she can shrug her shoulders and blame it on shit happening.
What Wealth Gap?
Thanks to a system of safety nets, there is virtually no wealth gap in Denmark. Education is free, and that includes college. Students who score well on entrance exams are even paid for their studies. The Danish government also provides childcare, healthcare and elder care at no cost to citizens.
The Cost of Happiness
A mid-level earner in Denmark can expect to pay roughly 50% of his income in taxes, which is sent to the pool that provides care and services for all Danes. This tax rate is less disturbing to Danes than it would be to Americans, perhaps because Danes espouse the "softer" values described below.
"Soft" Values
Ask a Dane what she likes to do in her free time, and she'll likely offer a response fit for Chicken Soup for the Soul: spend quality time with family & friends; nurture relationships; participate in community; care for others. Haven't we known intuitively that this is the stuff of happiness?
Time to Play
The average Dane takes six weeks of vacation. That's 42 days. U.S. citizens? 13 days. What's more, ask a Dane what he "does," and he'll tell you he skis or sails or plays the harpsichord. Ask an American the same question, and she'll tell you she's an accounts manager. Whose idea of a "Dream" is this anyway?

i wanna move to Denmark!
I like the video. Kinda funny.
Re: moving to Denmark. I know! I imagine disembarking from the plane and finding a whole country of people smiling and nodding with approval. It's wild that they've maintained their #1 rank for so long.
I live in Albany, NY and just got back from a visit to Denmark – LOVED IT!
Denmark – accepting who they are and accepting their accomplishments.
Reminds me of Travelling in Thailand.
With reasonable expectations, easy accomplishments, better brain chemistry.
Great conversation!
1. Long haired blond student is HOTTIE in the video.
2. How does the law of attraction play into this philosophy?
1. Agreed.
2. My guess is that it has more to do with the concept of letting go, which is incidentally related to the yogic concept of aparigraha, or non-hoarding. It works like this: Stop all that yearning and desiring; assume that the world will give you at least what you need; then be pleasantly surprised when it delivers more than the bare minimum.
Isn't Denmark close to Holland… I BET they are happy….
Yes, apart from a chunk of Germany between them. Lower Saxony, Schleswig Holstein. Or the North Sea. Mind you, there is the Christiana district in Copenhagen, which in many ways is what people wish Amsterdam was like.
Where does all of of this money come from to pay for school, childcare, elder care to keep this homogeneous country so happy…..oh yeah, 200 years of slave trading.
P.S. the pursuit is what spoils the happiness.
This is a gem to share! There is so much to learn from other points of view! This article and video was like a trip to Denmark
[…] is valuable. It is an expression and a conversation about being alive on earth, particularly as human beings, and how strange, bewildering and achingly beautiful this whole play […]

ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) — Andrew Luck has already mastered the turnaround.
Now it's time to manage those lofty expectations.
After leading the Colts to a nine-game improvement in a record-breaking rookie season, Luck has responded to the biggest question of training camp — what will he do for an encore? — in typical low-key style.

I got Love Cloud and now I'm thinking I would love to have Mandarin
MAC Tres Chic Collection- Lovecloud, Peony Petal, Modern Mandarin Blushes
Here are three of the blushes front the MAC Tres Chic Collection (And they're still in stock as I post this! I didn't realize the lipsticks from the Reel Sexy collection weren't in stock on the website, sorry about that!)
These blushes are gorgeous, I'm a huge fan. I'm glad I got a mix of these colors- I love the orange (and would totally wear it as an eyeshadow) and the two pinks contrast in their vibrancy, so depending on what you're going for either can come in handy (but Lovecloud is my favorite!) Overall, I really like these and am excited to play :)
Lovecloud Blush (Satin)
Peony Petal Blush (Satin)
Modern Mandarin Blush (Satin)
Lovecloud, Peony Petal, Modern Mandarin Blushes
Available for $20 each from MAC Cosmetics.

lovecloud looks nice and natural, and i love modern mandarin!
Modern Mandarin looks good! Immortal Flower is my favorite of all the six blushes.
I loooved this collection! Too bad I had only money for one blush! Really love all three shade, Peony Petal didn't grab my attention at first, but now I see the swatches I kinda want it too, lol!
I love all the shades; they are beautiful. I especially love Lovecloud.
I think it's Tres Cheek, like play on Tres Chic. Anyways I got Modern Mandarin cause you said you thought it would look nice on darker skin tones and it is amaazing!
Also hope you are doing okay, sad about your recent news but I'm sure everything will work out as far as a place and getting a space together for your blogging. Miss you! x

Smoker-in-chief's Media Stunned by Cain's Smokin' Ad
Herman Cain's chief of staff, Mark Block, puffed on his cigarette at the end of a campaign commercial & the leftist media are tripping over themselves to show how offended they are, despite the fact that their hero, Obama, smokes. I guess they think smoking is fine so long as you hide it like Obama does. I liked the commercial, laughed out loud when he took his puff, and this is from someone who smoked for 7 years and quit cold turkey because I wanted to live a healthier life. But if Block's smoking makes them crazier than they are, I hope he doesn't quit. At least until he becomes chief of staff to the President of the United States of America.
And what would the Obamedia do if Obama pulled out a pack of cigarettes in public? They'd light up his cigarette faster than he can.

Detective Camp
by Ron Roy
No current Talk conversations about this book.
When Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose sing up for detective camp they expect to learn more about their favorite thing to do. Instead, they are caught up in the mystery of missing earrings -- and all the campers and counselors are the suspects! Can these three solve the crime before detective camp is shut down for good?
There were some great clues for early readers to follow, but the mystery was hidden well enough that it wasn't too easy to solve. I also liked how it was a bit meatier than the other A to Z mysteries.
I haven't read a mystery in a while and it was fun. I really liked the letters hidden in the illustrations to reveal a secret message. There were a couple multicultural characters but they did not play key roles but I think they could have. It was a fun read.
This book and its series could be used in a library program about mysteries. A map with clues could be hidden in the library, just as it is in the book, with each participant be given a clue and bring the pieces of the map together.

I need to change the portfolio slug but when i do, no works, when i try to insert a new portfolio item 404 error show up when i publish, and if i try /portfolio instead my new slug works perfectly. Any solution?
i just uploaded the theme to my Wordpress 3.6 and after activation i get an 500 Error.
require_once(functions/shortcodes/tinymce-class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /.../wp-content/themes/interio/functions.php on line 80
there is no directory called in the function?
Dear Distro,
Please re-download the package and replace the functions.php OR remove the line #80 from functions.php this line is an extra code for our next update.
solved: now it works
Can I customize my home page? or just use one of predefined templates? Does it include builder? Thanks
Dear Ikhlief,
You can use the combination of shortcodes to make your own homepage layout.
Dose it support Arabic characters? Is there more an option for fonts? Is there a demo for admin before I purchase? Sorry for this but I bought a theme and wasted three days trying to solve the font problem and building my home page then it didn't work and Arabic fonts appeased uncorrect Thanks for your prompt reply
Dear ikhlief,
Yes supports All Arabic Characters. The fonts are set standard system fonts such as Tahoma and Arial, but if you want you can add your custom Arabic Web Font. For admin demo you can Install WP in your language and see the features of WP admin in your language.
Hello, we would like to buy your theme but there are some questions left. Is it possible to build/ change things in an layout builder? drag and drop? And the most important question is, how does the backend looks like if one wants to change texts, pictures or ad a new post? Can you upload a screenshot somewhere?
Dear JanoschG,Backend powered by WordPress and you can find a lot of videos and screenshots of WP admin panel even in your language. Also you can watch some of our video tutorials about this theme here: http://www.youtube.com/user/golgraphic
thanks for your response. We need to know, if it is possible to enter content (text, image) without editing in a shortcode. By example look here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hxza3fe2xsenygj/No1iLfp3R-
Thanks in advance.
Dear JanoschG,
I could not understand what you want to do exactly. You can add Texts and Images directly to WP editor.
I have a problem with the logo, i uploaded my logo but it was scaled down, and now its to small, i need it bigger, the image is 758×107 @ 10kb as png…

Dear Oferton,
This theme does not support both 2 sidebar at the same page, maybe we will add this feature in our next update.
Hello and thanks for a very nice theme I've launched my companys new website, but I seem to be unable to translate (to danish).
The wp-config.php contains: define ('WPLANG', 'da_DK'); I've created da_DK.po + da_DK.mo with POEDIT and tried uploading the files everywhere I could think of, but without any succes.
Dear JCT-BVK,
Please find the default.po and .mo in lang folder of interio and rename them and then translate these files with PoEdit and upload them to lang folder of Interio theme.
Thanks – this i exactly what I've done. But alas… It doesn't work. Files are uploaded here ../wp-content/themes/interio/lang/da_DK.mo
Did you install the theme on Finish WP version ?
Interio is installed on a danish WordPress 3.5.1.
Only Plugins: TinyMCE Advanced, Akismet, Wordpress Importer, Revolution Slider
Please send your ticket via our support page and provide us your website URL and WP login details : http://tohidgolkar.ticksy.com
I have upgraded to Interio v22.214.171.124 , but I'm still unable to translate to danish. I've made new po/mo files and uploaded, but there's no difference – the homepage is still in original/english lang. Can anybody confirm that it is possible to translate at all ?
Dear Jacob,
I sent you the solution in your ticket on Ticksy.
I does NOT seem to work if I place the mo/po in the theme /lang folder.
But if I rename the translation and place it here, it works: ..../wp-content/languages/interio-da_DK.mo
Dear Jacob,
You should update your theme to 1.3.6, this version is tested on WP 3.6.1 and also checked with WPML and qTranslate plugins.
I can confirm, that Interio1.3.6 now works with the translation files PO/MO in the folder …./themes/interio/lang/ Thanks
is it possible to add more icons (custom) in the list. If sio where is the list located.
Thanks MCB
Dear MCB,
You can download your own font-icons sets from www.fontello.com or any other font-icons websites and add it to your theme.
Amazing support from this vendor. Great theme too! Cheers T!
Thank you for your feedback
For your next update I'd like you to consider more options for the header – specifically the size and shape of the logo – perhaps also the placement.
As the logo I'm using also contains some text (thus making the logo wide), I find it quite hard to fit it into the available space.
Everything else in this fine theme is easy to customize, so it would be great if it was possible for the header too! Regards
Dear JCT-BVK,
Thank you for your feedback, we will update our theme with some new features ASAP.
Hello. I created a site for someone and he is telling me that he, and all his friends are not able to view the site as responsive in their cell phones? He even provided me an image as evidence of this, which you can view here: http://www.ecurtisdesigns.com/cell.jpg I don't own a web enabled mobile phone so can't test it on my side. In any case, can you please let me know what might be causing the issue with the site not being responsive for his phone and how to fix? You can find his site online at http://www.sierranurseryandrock.com/ Thanks for the help.
Dear Edmund,
We checked and everything works fine, please recheck this feature in an up to dated cellphone.
I was able to fix the issue when I noted that the viewport tag wasn't showing in the header when viewing the source code. I added the tag higher up on the header.php page and now it works.
Thanks and Good Luck with your new Website
On smartphones the top meno disappeared. Can't find a way to get it back – any tip on this?
Please send your ticket via our support page and provide us your website URL. http://tohidgolkar.ticksy.com
Hi, another Q: How do I make the sidebar not show on mobile? Thanks!
Dear Yanivjs,
This theme does not support this feature.
Me again, I can't find where to define the body backgroung pattern – as seen in the theme preview – I would like to set the background pattern to wood. Where can I set this?
I saw the layout youtube video – but as opposed to the youtube video – the theme does not have the background patterns within the layout options page.
Dear Yanivjs,
Please go to InterioOptions > Layout (First Tab) you can find the patterns.
NOTE: Patterns will be shown only on boxed layout not in wide.
To ensure that the child theme is really independant from your parent theme, I'd like to move my customized enqueue.php to the child theme folder. I guess I need to also modify the call to this file in the functions.php of my child theme. Can you show me how to call enqueue.php from the childthemes functions.php?
Thank you very much
Dear Marcoevich,Please put this code in your child theme's functions.php
Hmm. Is it possible to completely disable the enqueue page from the parent theme somehow? I cannot get it to work properly
I have now restored the original enqueue in the parent theme, and I have put my customized enqueue in the child theme's /functions/ folder. Your code above works as it should be, but it looks like WP is giving preference to the enqueue in the parent theme folder..?
Dear Marcoevich,
You can remove enqueue.php from functions.php of parent theme and then add your own enqueue.php on child theme and call it from functions.php of child theme.
Hi Tohid, Thank you it worked this time For future readers: I had to change get_template_directory() to get_stylesheet_directory. But it is working now Thx!
your welcome

Hmm... I've never seen support for the 5523 chipset mentioned anywhere..
But since madwifi supports the AR5513 chipset, it is likely to think that the 5523 is also supported..
you could try and follow the ubunto instructions, but since you mentioned NO NET, you can obtain it from my personal repository (6.2Mb) and transfer it to the target machine from a usb-stick or something.
Just extract the file ie:
~> tar -jxf madwifi-ng-r1411.tar.bz2
Enter the directory created (madwifi-ng) and issue:
madwifi-ng> make install
If you have your current kernel-source installed it should compile without any major problems, unless your current kernel dosn't provide wlan support, then the compile will fail, but at that point we'll take it from there.
Once the driver has been installed, you can prepare your WIFI-device, ie:
~> wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
And bring the interface up ie:
~> ifconfig ath0 up
Then you can see if it's working or not ie:
~> iwlist ath0 scan
For usage, it might be a good idear to read the First time users howto to get acquaint with the use.

Three years ago this December we first walked into a Manhattan conference room for a background briefing on a new concept being developed by General Motors for the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. Earlier that year, the release of a documentary called Who Killed the Electric Car made the then largest automaker in the world the subject of some well deserved criticism for its handling of the end of the EV1 program. The movie and announcement of the all-electric Tesla Roadster lit a fire under GM to get back into the plug-in electric vehicle game.
What we saw that day in NYC was a description of a new powertrain architecture then dubbed E-Flex. GM folk on hand that day included vehicle line executive Tony Posawatz and former VP for environmental affairs Beth Lowery. They explained that among the biggest lessons learned from the EV1 program were that range anxiety and lack of practicality would make a car like EV1 nearly impossible to sell in the mass market. The engineers went back to the drawing board to address those issues and came up with the extended range electric vehicle, or ER-EV. The Volt concept was approved for production mere months after it was revealed at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show. At this week's LA Auto Show, GM is publicly showing the production intent version of the Volt. Before that, however, we were among the first to drive a Volt with its range extender running. Read all about it after the jump.

Published Sunday, October 07, 2012
I was just reminded that the only "change" that matters is the change in how we see the world around us.
Just a week or so ago, I realized just how much my feelings for one of God's most "special" creatures had changed when I caught myself saying something I never dreamed I would say, much less write:
"I feel sorry for that possum."
Yes, I did. Really.
Anyone raised in the South has seen their share of possums. These sightings are rarely by choice. If people wanted to see possums on purpose, possums would be in zoos. They're not.
They are usually found raiding the home trash bin or scarfing down pet food. I heard about a possum that went through a cat door into a house, helped himself to the Friskies and waddled out fat and happy.
Possums are also seen running for cover under moving cars. Not always with success.
Yes, I've hit one. OK, several. You have, too.
But this possum was different. Mostly because I didn't know what caused its demise. I just knew when I woke up and looked in the back yard it was lying still as a stone, not hopping along in that strange trot possums are famous for.
But, generally speaking, you never see a possum lying still unless it's playing possum. This one wasn't. It was dead as a (fill in your choice of cliche).
And I felt sorry for it.
I can't explain why. Maybe because we never had a chance to meet and decide how we felt about each other. For all I know this was the nicest possum in the world, maybe one I could have approached in peace without getting hissed at. We might have become friends and starred in a Discovery Channel special titled "Man and Marsupial: Together at Last."
I wondered where it came from and where it was going when it passed away on my property. I wondered if it had a mate or siblings or offspring. I wondered if it had hopes, dreams, ambitions. I wondered who taught it to play possum when it was young and carefree.
And I wondered if it was missed by a friend or relative or even a passing acquaintance who thought Bert was really cool. That's what I called him.
But, most of all, I wondered if the local buzzards were going to take care of he cleanup chores or if I would be stuck with burial detail. I'll tell you later. I'm sure I did the right thing.
And I'm sure that if my feelings about possums have changed, it's possible to change the way I feel about other things, like the designated hitter or Cream of Wheat.
As Rocky Balboa told a hostile crowd of Soviet sports fans after he defeated the steroid-stuffed Soviet boxing machine Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, "If you can change and I can change then we can all change and it's time for a change... and Yo, Adrian."
Or something close to that.
The point being, sometimes change takes a little effort, but sometimes it just shows up unexpectedly. Like a gift from on high or a dead possum in the yard.
Either way, I'm sorry for the possum, but I'm glad it's passing helped me realized just how much I had changed without even knowing it.
And I thought to myself that if change is this easy, maybe I'll even give Hope a try. But not yet. You don't want to rush these things.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.4
When it comes to full-size pickups, it's hard to find fault with what Chevrolet has done with its 2013 Silverado 1500. Though technically not the best-selling full-size pickup in America (that honor goes to the Ford F-150), when combined with the sales of its sister pickup, the GMC Sierra, the two handily outsell their Ford rival. To remain relevant, Chevy continues to improve on the Silverado's powerful yet fuel-efficient V8 engines and offers the industry's only full-size hybrid pickup. We know truck buyers don't care as much about fuel economy as they do sheer brute force, which is why the Silverado delivers performance at or near the top of its class in almost every category, including a maximum tow rating of 10,700 pounds when properly equipped.
If you like variety in your full-size pickup, the Chevy 2013 Silverado is a virtual quick-change artist. Numerous bed lengths, body configurations, axles and cabs are available from the Silverado options list, as are many interior upgrades and E85-compatible engines.
If you like your pickup to be as expressive as it is capable, the 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500's somewhat conservative styling probably won't strike your fancy. Those who need the towing power of a diesel engine will have to look to the Silverado HD 2500 or 3500 pickup trucks.
Changes for 2013 are limited to two new exterior colors and the addition of powertrain grade-braking that uses transmission downshifting to ease stress and temperature build-up on the brake rotors.
Driving Impressions The combination of a rigid frame, advanced construction techniques, coil-over-shock front suspension and power rack-and-pinion steering give the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado an impressively smooth and controlled ride without sacrificing capability...or payload limits. A stiff chassis means a stronger platform for towing and the Silverado's fully-boxed frame delivers strength in spades. Power from the base 4.3-liter V6 is adequate for those hauling light to medium loads and not towing. However, bigger jobs will require either the 5.3-liter V8, which is an excellent choice combining power and fuel economy in an affordable package, or the powerhouse of the Silverado line, the 403-horsepower 6.2-liter aluminum-block V8. Power delivery with each V8 engine is more than ample, and the electronically-controlled 6-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission delivers it smoothly and without hesitation.
In a welcome bow to those who work hard to earn their keep – and who live in frigid climes – the 2013 Silverado pickup has knobs, switches and door handles that easily can be operated while wearing gloves.
The Active Fuel Management system available in four different V8s cuts the operation of four cylinders when they are unneeded and enhances fuel economy.
If you go with the WT, LS or LT trim levels, you get an interior and instrument panel that is simple and straightforward. Opt for the top-of-the-line LTZ trim, however, and your Silverado 1500 pickup becomes a bit more plush, with a highly refined instrument panel complete with wood inlays, soft-touch surfaces and additional ambient lighting. On Silverado Crew Cab pickups, the rear-seat area is made almost as welcoming as on some full-size SUVs. Up front, the big 40/20/40 split-bench seat features a lockable storage bin with a built-in 12-volt outlet. Incorporating stadium-style seating allows the rear-seat passengers a better view forward.Exterior
For those who find some full-size trucks to be overstyled and almost cartoonish, the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado half-ton pickup is a welcome dose of classic American styling. Thanks to the big pickup's fully-boxed frame, Chevy was able to create tight gaps between the Silverado's body panels. This architecture also makes the Silverado extremely rigid and immune to excessive body flex. The truck team at Chevy also went to great lengths to integrate the pickup box while simultaneously increasing its height. On Extended Cab models large rear-access doors are capable of opening a full 170 degrees and include windows that fully lower into the doors.
The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado WT pickup includes a 4-speed automatic transmission, tire-pressure-monitoring system, anti-lock brakes (ABS), air conditioning and two auxiliary power outlets. The 1LT adds cruise control, compass and temperature-display rearview mirror, power windows, door locks and mirrors, remote keyless entry and CD/MP3 player audio system. The LTZ adds 10-way power-heated front bucket seats, leather seating, power-folding power-adjustable heated mirrors, Bose audio with MP3-compatible 6-disc CD changer and auxiliary input jack and a remote-start system. The StabiliTrak electronic stability-control system is standard on all 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 models.
Depending upon trim level, Chevy's Silverado can be optioned in several ways. For 2013, the Silverado offers five suspension systems, each tailored to suit specific driving requirements. They include Z83 for a solid, smooth ride; Z85 for enhanced handling and trailer towing; Z71 for enhanced off-road capability; Z60 for street performance with 20-inch wheels; and NHT for maximum towing capacity. A choice of 2- and 4-wheel-drive models, various cabs and bed lengths and a variety of axle ratios are also offered.
While we expect the 4.3-liter V6 and 4.8-liter V8 to be more than adequate in work-truck applications, we recommend the 5.3-liter V8 engines, some with cast-iron blocks and some with aluminum, but all with Active Fuel Management and variable valve timing. And, for those who want more power (or towing capacity), the 6.2-liter V8 is tops in its class, offering significantly more power and torque (pulling force) with very little penalty in fuel economy. The Hybrid has a 2-mode system that can operate on electric power only at low speeds, or deliver an electric assist to the 6.0-liter V8 at highway speeds or when towing.

"To start out, this is Silverado WT. Don't want or need lots of frills, just a truck I can beat on if I have to. It does have the convenience package so you get PW, Keyless and heated mirrors. Doesn't have the Z71 package so it rides almost car-like. It's a daily driver so it has lots of miles for it's age. There is some minor wind moise in the cab, but with the etended cab and suicide back doors that's to be expected. This is my first domestic pickup in about 14 years and my first Chevy. I would buy another one tomorrow."

"After owning a 2004HD with an 8.1 liter engine and Alison transmission, this truck just feels cheap. I miss my old truck. It felt like a jet, rode like a dream and had all of the interior comforts and exterior looks. Bose sterio, heated leather seats, Name it, it had it. I bought this for the wrong reason. I wanted the extra 3 miles per gal that I get. I use this truck for work. It has tool boxes and a ladder rack. I get about 12/gal. The HD only got 8.5. The HD was a beast though. This 2012 k1500 is a dependable farmer. My biggest grip is with the interior. Its falling apart. The AUX plug in broke in the first year, as did the consol latch and the drivers seat cheap lumbar support. The seats are uncomfortable-plain and simple. The stereo isnt Bose. It stinks. FM reception is poor. Sound quality poor. I'll be shopping around a little more carefully next time. After being a chevy man for 30 years. Maybe its time for a change. Lastly; what gets my goat. 2013, chevy finally adds a rear camera. Hurray! What took so long? They added the step in the bumper also. Heres a question: When are they going to allow me to connect to their poor quality stereo systemwith my MP3 via bluetooth. Saving that for 2017. Moving at lightning speed, as always. Wake up GM. these trucks are costly. Now give us something for the money."

"The first Silverado I ever drove was a lowered, 3 toned completely and fully loaded custom 1992 Extended/Crew black/maroon/purple Silverado. I drove it like I owned it. The selling point for me was when during the summer of 1993 myself, two of my brothers and my father piled in that puppy and we drove for 33 hours from Moreno Valley California to Savannah GA, stopping only for potty breaks, food, fuel and swapping out drivers if not at one of the previously mentioned stops; it was great, so roomy, two of us slept while two of us drove, one laid the passenger seat back and slept the fourth in the back laid out like on a airline flat lay out bed and it was a comfortable ride, some 2,489 miles later we arrived and after Savannah only one of my brothers and I continued the cross country drive, we continued to Long Island NY, passed thru Washington DC for the 30th Anniversary of the March on WA. that was amazing timing didn't plan it, but I was there; then we drove to Minnetonka MN and completed our journey making a Beeline from MN back to my home town of Riverside California. I forget the total miles, total days was 23 I believe short and sweet, the key attraction for me is that Silverado was tough and fuel efficient, but mostly I loved that first Silverado because it made that trip so fun and so worth every mile we passed; and I've been sold on the Silverado ever since! I purchased my very own and first Silverado off the Riverside CA. lot in 1997, it was a vehicle that was purchased and brought back due to the financing falling through, had less then 3000 miles and they took $4,000 off the price; now that I think about it I was kind of a novice to the purchasing game and probably should have got more then that off right? Lol, they say the second it drives off the lot the value drops like 10-25%??? Anyway I loved that and every Silverado ever since. I'm on my 5th Truck now, all Silverado's and only purchased one used, not one of them did I ever have much of any serious or minor mechanical problems with, hence my 5th one!!! If not for having my current Silverado lifted/modified at the dealer and them not telling me they would never be able to buy it back with any modifications, besides that killing the fuel efficiency, I'd be keeping #5 and not selling it. I love that truck, I love Silverado, however the milage on it just killed me and I'm currently dealing with a party who seems really interested and I hope this deal goes thru I have 5 vehicles and this one has sat in my driveway for sale now over a year and a half, has only 20,969 miles on it, only put 3,000 of those on it in the past year and a half because it just drinks the gas. When the gas went back down below $3 I actually thought of never selling it, but now with gas back up over $4 nope she's got to go the sooner the better. On a scale of 1-10 how much do I love the Silverado, it's an 11+ hopefully the Alt fuel will become more readily available and for cheaper than regular gas, that would make me purchase my 6th Silverado 100%, but for now I'm done with the V8!

Accepting the framed print of New York City firefighters at the ruins of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, are assistant fire chief Richard Columbo (left) and chief Mike Zamantakis. The town's mayor and council members also commended the department for its public safety service over the years. Mayor Dean Armstrong noted that the training and certification of the department have lowered the city's residential and commercial insurance rates, producing a savings for homeowners and businesses.

Very interesting, thanks V2.
That's the Defiant from the Battle of Britain Hall at the RAF Museum. There is actually another one in the UK, near Birmingham, which is mainly a faithfull replica, correct in every detail. Someone posted a link on the forum about it recently.
Run down to find the bits of Defiants.

A look at 2013 foreclosure activity on the Treasure Coast
New filings, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions have dropped closer to pre-recession levels, allowing county courts to reduce the backlog of cases that had built up over the past five years.

What experts say: "Millions of homeowners are still living in the shadow of the massive foreclosure crisis that the country experienced over the past eight years since the housing price bubble burst — both in the form of homes lost to directly to foreclosure as well as home equity lost as a result of a flood of discounted distressed sales," said RealtyTrac Vice President Daren Blomquist. "But the shadow cast by the foreclosure crisis is shrinking as fewer distressed properties enter foreclosure and properties already in foreclosure are poised to exit in greater numbers in 2014 given the greater numbers of scheduled foreclosure auctions in 2013 in judicial states — which account for the bulk of U.S. foreclosure inventory."

NEW YORK, July 18, 2011 — Duopoly announces the U.S. launch of the delightful animated family comedy series The Very Good Adventures of Yam Roll in Happy Kingdom, now streaming on the free, ad-supported Hulu.com and the Hulu Plus subscription service at www.hulu.com/yam-roll.
Produced by March Entertainment for Canada's CBC and the Cartoon Network in the US, the series premiered in 2006 and continues to air on the CBC's Saturday morning kids' block as well as Australia's ABC2 and HBO Asia, garnering a large and enthusiastic following through a combination of broadcast play, film festivals, and its dynamic fan website www.yamroll.com.
Yam Roll (39 x 11 min episodes and 39 x 3 min shorts) takes audiences to an exotic land of anthropomorphic sushi and tells the story of how one of its inhabitants, a super-powered taxi driver named Yam Roll, braves monsters, bad guys, and barking dogs all in the name of unrequited love. Despite being well liked in Happy Kingdom due to his good nature and sweet, root-vegetable flavoring, Yam Roll is still a frustrated guy. Why? Because he is hopelessly in love with the town sweetheart, a spicy tuna roll named Minamiko. With the help of his wise Zen master, Katcho Miso (an old lump of salty bean paste), his sidekick and best friend Ebi-san (a severely hyperactive shrimp,) and the rest of his motley maritime crew, Yam Roll's life is always an exciting ride.
Yam Roll is co-created and penned by the ingenious Jono Howard (of Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy fame) and the talented artist and animator Jon Izen (Pet Squad) who also serves as Yam Roll's director.
"Yam Roll is an irresistible character and his unrequited love for a tuna roll named Minamiko is one of the great cartoon romances," said Catherine Tait, President of Duopoly. "The unique designs by Jon Izen and the offbeat yet charming characters who occupy Yam Roll's Happy Kingdom make this series a truly undiscovered gem."

Author, cancer patient advocate and former Maine TV journalist Ann Murray Paige has died after a 10-year battle with breast cancer. Paige used her skills as a reporter to chronicle her experience in a documentary called "The Breast Cancer Diaries." She also shared her story with MPBN in 2007, on the the television program MaineWatch. Keith Shortall has more.
In the late 1990's, Ann Murray, as she was then known, was a broadcast journalist for WCSH6 in Portland, and after leaving there, would go on to host a number of programs for MPBN.
But it was as a guest on MaineWatch six years ago that she shared her personal story, a story that began the day she discovered a quarter-sized lump in her breast during a self-exam at home in the shower.
Shortly after that, her suspicions were confirmed by her doctor.
"The day I got that call, which was 3 o'clock on Friday, March 12th, 2004 - I'll never forget it - he said to me, 'I don't have good news for you - this is a breast cancer,'" she said. "And I froze. And then he started talking and I couldn't hear a word he said because my mind was in 50 different places. So I had a pad of paper and a pen nearby and I grabbed it and just started writing."
And so began a 10-year journey for Ann Murray Paige of intense research, discovery, discomfort, triumph, disappointment and acceptance. She became a fierce advocate for other cancer patients, beginning with her documentary film "The Breast Cancer Diaries." In it, Paige shares raw and intimate moments of life before and after her double mastectomy.
In this excerpt, the camera rolls as Paige's young son helps her prepare for an anniversary dinner with her husband, Sandy.
"Now my big date with Daddy for our anniversary - are you going to help me pick out my dress?" "Yes I will," her son says. "Great - let's go over to my closet." "OK."
In addition to the dress they also pick out a wig - and a pair of prosthetic breasts.
"Maybe - which ones do you pick today?" her son says. "Well, I have to wear them both." "Oh yeah, that's right - how do you stick them on, though?" "You wear them like this." "If I were a girl I'd have these?" "Yes."
Paige says she made the documentary, in part, for her two kids.
"Because I did not want my children, were I to die, to think 'My mom got mowed down by cancer.' I wanted them to remember me as a strong person who tried very hard - and continues to try to this day - to be healthy, for them and for myself, and that they should react that same way if, God forbid, anything ever happened to them."
In 2008, Paige and Breast Cancer Diaries Director Linda Pattillo created Project Pink, a non-proft that gives help and hope to young women with breast cancer. In 2010, Paige learned that her cancer had spread to her lung.
But instead of despairing, Paige used the diagnosis as motivation to write a book, "Pink Tips," which contains her best advice for dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
Last year, as she was honored as one of Massachusetts General Hospital's "Top 100" cancer advocates, Paige announced to the crowd that she was facing her most difficult challenge.
"And not just metastatic breast cancer in my lung," she said. "Three months ago, they told me it's now in my brain and my liver too. So for this last moment, I would like to take off my advocate hat, and I'd like to put on my patient hat."
Paige lifted her wig to reveal her bald head, and proceeded to offer thanks and encouragement to all those in the room who work in the fight against cancer.
On her Project Pink Web site she is remembered in her own words: "Bad things happen. Good things endure."
Ann Crowley Murray Paige died Sunday in Davis, California. She was 48 years old.

In 1999, Menil Collection curator Walter Hopps and SFMOMA Director David A. Ross interviewed Rauschenberg in the SFMOMA galleries during an exhibition featuring fourteen major works by the artist that the museum had recently acquired. Hopps had organized the 1976 and 1998 retrospectives of Rauschenberg's work. In this excerpt from the video footage, Hopps, Ross, and Rauschenberg discuss the process of making Collection and its retroactive titling—the work was untitled until 1976. Gary Garrels, then SFMOMA's chief curator, and Peter Samis, then associate curator of education, also participate in the interview. A transcript of the full interview is available on the Related Information page. A transcript of this excerpt is available below.

Bitcoin price goes over 1000$
Bitcoin broke the limit of one thousand dollars today, this means the market cap currently exceeds 12 billion dollars.
The value of Bitcoin has seen an accelerated growth over the last few months. In January this year the value of a bitcoin was under twenty dollars and in April it peaked at 266 dollars before it quickly corrected to 50$. Since then Bitcoin has been on the rise, it has been around a hundred dollars for a long time until it started growing again exponentially in October. On November 17th it passed 500$ for the first time and now, not even half a month later, it passes 1000$
Global acceptation
The growth of the value can be explained in many ways but seems to have mostly happened due to interest of Chinese investors and accepting words from the CEO of the Chinese central bank. Bitcoin's value is usually higher on the Chinese exchanges then on the rest of the world which shows that there is great interest from the Chinese in general. The Chinese are a money saving nation and see Bitcoin as a good tool to do this with.
Last week the US Senate also had 2 hearings about cryptocurrencies in general, they were realistic about the threats and the advantages bringing a rather positive message about cryptocurrencies in general. They stated that there will be nothing done to stop bitcoin, however, just as with normal currencies, they will enforce the law and try to stop any illegal activities.
Lots of media attention
Positive media attention also has a lot of influence on the price of Bitcoins, currently many people don't know about cryptocurrencies yet and with only 12 million bitcoins available today all the new adopters can have a significant impact on the price of Bitcoins. Also there have been quite a few success stories about becoming a millionaire from cheap purchased bitcoins and negative news stories like hacked exchanges reach all big news websites over the world.
Most countries accept and are positive about cryptocurrencies, only in Thailand there have been negative words about Bitcoin from the central bank. Germany and the US already publicly stated that they see Bitcoin as a valid currency.
Price of bitcoin over the last year
