What Does Ron Paul Really Want?
May 05, 2012
In 2008, nobody much cared what Ron Paul wanted: He was dismissed as a fringe candidate, someone defined by the decades he spent losing 434-to-one votes in the House and refusing to endorse his party's presidential candidate. In this presidential cycle, however, questions about Paul's intentions have risen, precisely because his performance has begun to resemble that of a conventional politician who can compete if not win.
Why a Populist Message is the Best Way to Beat Romney

The Widening Political Divide Between Catholicism and Mainline Protestantism
April 30, 2012
When Charles Colson died last weekend, he was best known as the Watergate felon turned prison minister. But Colson, a constant presence in Christian Right circles for over two decades, had perhaps his greatest impact in another sphere of American life: expanding evangelical-Catholic cooperation in the fight against legalized abortion into a broader political alliance. For signs of his success, look at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' latest manifesto, published just last month.
How Far Can Romney Pivot on Immigration?
April 25, 2012
Of all the issues on which Mitt Romney will be tempted to execute an "Etch-a-Sketch" moment as he heads into the general election, immigration is the most pressing. Remember, on immigration Romney didn't just rely on his super PAC to slur his opponents; he identified himself robustly with the nativist strain in the GOP. This worked out fine in the primaries: It helped him snuff the existential threat of Rick Perry's candidacy, and provided additional fodder for his team's crucial attack on Newt Gingrich after the South Carolina primary.
Why the Christian Right Doesn't Care That Mitt Romney is a Mormon
April 20, 2012
When Dallas First Baptist Church pastor Robert Jeffress endorsed Mitt Romney this week, it raised some eyebrows. Jeffress, after all, was the evangelical leader who roiled last year's Value Voters Summit by casually telling reporters that Mitt Romney was "not a Christian," but instead a member of the Mormon "cult." His endorsement should serve as a warning to any Democrats who expect that evangelical distaste for Mormonism will cost Mitt Romney a significant number of votes.
No, the Election Isn't Just a Referendum on Obama
April 15, 2012
In his TNR column last week, my esteemed colleague and mentor William Galston expressed one of the more regularly repeated convictions about presidential politics: Reelection campaigns are a referendum on the incumbent. As he wrote: One of the best established findings of contemporary political science is that in presidential contests involving an incumbent, the incumbent's record is central to the public's judgment.
Why Rick Santorum Wasn't Conservative Enough to Beat Mitt Romney
April 12, 2012
Rick Santorum's withdrawal from the Republican presidential race earlier this week marked the end of a long, strange trip for the former Pennsylvania senator, who made himself the political vehicle for Christian Right resistance to Mitt Romney. But the lesson of Santorum's inevitable defeat isn't that he was too socially extreme. Ironically, it was his record of loyal support for the compassionate conservative agenda of George W. Bush that did Santorum in, not his 1950s-era values.
Why Romney's VP Choice May Be Out of His Hands
April 05, 2012
The end is near for Rick Santorum. That doesn't mean, though, that it's time for Mitt Romney to start celebrating. Yes, Romney won Wisconsin Tuesday night, and has a near-lock on the eventual nomination. But claims that he is beginning to seal the deal with party conservatives are premature. A look at Wisconsin exit polls shows that he is still struggling among right-wing voters. That has clear implications for the type of general election campaign Romney can run—and the kind of vice-presidential candidate he'll eventually have to pick. What did we learn from the Wisconsin primary?
Mitt Romney's Sinking Approval Ratings
April 02, 2012
Last week was a pretty good one for Mitt Romney. He moved ahead of Rick Santorum in the polls in Wisconsin. His lead in national polls of Republicans increased as well. And he continued to get prominent endorsements from star conservatives like Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan, indicating a party moving in his direction. But despite all this encouraging news, there was a cloud on Romney's horizon: his terrible approval ratings. How terrible?
I Did the Delegate Math—And It's Over
March 21, 2012
There are three ways to look at the GOP nominating contest now that Mitt Romney has won Illinois. The first is summarized by Alex Massie in a headline earlier today: "Illinois Votes; Mitt Romney Wins; Race Still Over." A second is to insist that, while Romney is on track to win the nomination, it's unwise to assume anything until he has mathematically won a majority of delegates.

FUZE Slenderize Guilt Free Lip Gloss
This resolution is hardly original. But when beauty is involved, we'll jump on any bandwagon. Too Faced's new gloss packs wondrous ingredients that promote appetite-normalization. Swipe it on your lips to help kiss those unwanted pounds goodbye.
You read it here first folks. A gloss that's going to help me lose weight. I'll take a case. Wait. Better make that 10 cases! Thanks!
I always thought my appetite was pretty normal but this gloss is actually going to normalize it for me! I dunno what that means but it sure does sound super important. It's also going to melt away any unwanted cellulite on my hips that I may want to rid myself of plus it's also going to arrange for World Peace.
Can your gloss do that? What? I can't make this stuff up people. It's for reals!
The stupidity of the beauty world never ceases to amaze and delight me this is almost as good as the "breath fresher" lipgloss that was released last year!
I love me some gloss but count the Muse doubtful that a gloss is going to make me skinny!
I'll eat my words later if this actually works or maybe not as I'll be too full since my gloss is normalizing my appetite for me!
12/21/07 11:30 MandyPandy:
Well, I technically read it at Sephora yesterday, but yeah, it's just a load of bunk. I'll stick to binging and purging, thank you!
JK! Bulimia never causes weight-loss (I should know)!
I still think it's the most bizarre lipgloss ever. Jarod Blandino done lost her damn mind; the peroxide has finally reached her brain. Quick, get the bucket of water!
12/21/07 13:17 krasevayadancer:
LOL! I will take a box as well 😉
12/21/07 18:21 Angelique:
…Too Faced just rubs me the wrong way. Sure, I like some of their stuff and I'm happy that they sometimes make blue lipgloss but for the most part their stuff and their attitude just pisses me off. It's just like Juicy Couture. Both those companies (and their founders) think women should be ultra girly-girl material-obsessed cutesy richbitches. To HELL with that.
Good lord. It all just makes my head hurt.
12/23/07 22:00 Millie:
Hi Muse,
So I got my Lavshuca winter make collection in 01 and PK-1 today and even though I know they're both small, I'm still slightly disappointed and it's not as pigmented as i hoped, so I have to layer alot, plus I also need to use my MJ jewel liner to help boost the darker shade. The jewel lipstick color is great, I got it because you suggested it as well as a touch of blusher, but then it's not as shimmery as i thought it would be. I did order the BE-2 and the loose powder in lucent from adambeauty and I hope the BE-2 is more on the pink side rather than brown, what do you think? since you have such a big collection =D Otherwise I think adambeauty will start getting more orders from me and my mom will get more presents because I won't use it haha. Speaking of adambeauty, they were nice enough to send me some samples of the Coffert D'or lipsticks, and the PK227 shade looks gorgeous, I just hope it won't be too pricey. I have a feeling that the BE-2 will look similar to the CD sample of BE178 which is too brown for my taste. Do you think the Lavshuca eyeshadows have good staying power compared to the MJ ones? They look so cute and I'm thinking of getting more but I'm not sure how well they last.
12/25/07 0:30 Jessika:
I can't wait to hear your review on this! I too want to shed pounds but doubt that a lip gloss can do it!
12/26/07 8:20 the Muse:
Hi Mandy!
Total garbage! But curiosity will kill this cat as I wanna try it!
I'm nuts to say the least!
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're a nutter 😉
12/26/07 8:21 the Muse:
hi krasevayadancer!
PLEAZE! You're perfect 😉 I've seen your pic on Specktra! You don't need any of this!
12/26/07 8:23 the Muse:
hi Angelique,
I kinda like some too faced products!
LOL I admit I'm guilty of being girly girly
I'm a bit of a tomboy too so I guess that qualifies a bit 😉
12/26/07 8:31 the Muse:
Hi Millie!
Aww sorry to hear you're not loving the pigment on the lavshuca palettes! I guess they aren't really as pigmented as the normal range! I do love 'em though!
I'm glad you got the loose powder as it's been faded out so it's great you have it. It's an awesome powder! Hmmm I don't have it in front of me but I believe be-2 is more of a peachy brown! I think!? Either way it'll probably be lovely as I haven't run into a color I didn't love!
I believe Coffert D'or will be in the same price range as T'estimo. It'll probably be normal price on Adam and within Japan probably the regular 20% off at drugstores!
From what I seen of the collection it'll be worth what we shell out for it teehee It's quite nice! I'll miss T'estimo but this is a nice alternative for sure!
I find that the Lavshuca and MJ shadows are very different in texture. I do believe that the Majolook palettes are sheer and not nearly as pigmented as the Lavshuca select. However, I find the single MJ's way more pigmented with good staying power compared to the Lavshuca palettes.
Both are fabulous to be honest and have pretty good staying power! The only ones that I find go on a bit sheer and need a good powder down to stay put would be the Majalook palettes
Enjoy your purchases! Hope this helps!
12/26/07 8:33 the Muse:
Hi Jessika!
I'll definately be buying and reviewing it although I'm already skeptical about losing any weight hehehe!
Thanks for the comment!

The Student Ministry of FBC Athens (Authentic Youth) exists for students and their families.
We seek to provide an authentic place to grow, live out, and struggle with faith. This is a safe spot for students to come and be real.
We embrace our imperfections and yet believe God is calling each of us to a different way of being in this world.
MIDWEEK – Wednesday's 7-8
Gathering of students (6-12th graders) who come together in the middle of the week to worship, play, and learn together. It happens on Wednesday's in the Recreation Outreach Center (ROC) across the street from FBC Athens sanctuary.
Bible Fellowship Groups- Sunday's 9:30-10:30
Every Sunday morning at 9:30am in the ROC students gather in age appropriate classes with adults who seek to guide students to Jesus. We use the XP3 curriculum, which allows us to break up our Sunday mornings into 15-minute increments in hopes of capturing and holding students attention.
Mission Trip – Several Yearly Trips:
Each Spring Break, summer, and sometimes at Christmas our students engage in cross-cultural situations that allow us to serve and share the Gospel of Christ. We believe that a students life can be changed as they are introduced to a world in need.
DNow (Disciple Now) – April 24-26, 2015
This is a weekend where students are welcomed into the homes of FBC Athens members with a college student leading Bible studies and activities in the home. Many opportunities are given to students to worship God and serve our Henderson county community. Every grade is split (by gender) into these incredible host homes. This is the biggest weekend of the school year for students
Camp – June 8-12, 2015
The frist week of summer we join forces with some like-minded churches and head to Riverbend Retreat Center for our summer camp. Students stay is cabins and enjoy small groups, rec, worship, and speakers. It is a great time to grow and get to know new friends!
Parent Summit – January 25, 2015
We believe that parents are the central figures in a students spiritual life. Therefore, we provide opportunities to learn about adolescent culture, grow as parents, and find practical ways to parent.
Fall Retreats
In the fall we take a Middle School Fall Retreat and a High School Fall Retreat (separate weekends). We travel to a retreat center, which allows students to get out of their normal routines to reflect on the things of God.
Internship Program
Each summer the Children and Student Ministry hire 4 college/seminary students to join our staff for the summer. They live on our church campus and spend their time working to perfect our programs and growing with our staff. It is an incredible way that FBC Athens invests in leadership development.
Global Leadership Summit – Youth Spot
Each year FBC Athens is a host site for the Willow Creek Association Global Leadership Summit (GLS). People from all over east Texas descend on FBC Athens. In addition, we have a comfortable (youth friendly) room for students to express themselves to the inspirational talks given at GLS.

How to spot a flood-damaged car
Photo by Mike Baird.
I once bought a Honda Civic with a salvage title. The story was that a young woman drove it into a lake at low speed, forgot to set the parking brake (five-speed), rolled down a boat ramp or something. It was next to new when she did it, and still low mileage when I bought it from the second owner, a grad student who was moving back to a city. What a great deal! Yeah, no. What I learned from that experience, basically, was that if any one component was reused after being submerged, it will fail. And that included things like switchblocks, relays, solenoids – the second ignition failure left me and my wife stranded on a mountain in the middle of the night. I got $100 for it from a local Honda tech and thought I got a great deal.
With Hurricane Sandy being cleaned up, thousands of cars – including collector cars such as the Aston Martins I recently spotted – will soon start to move through the salvage system. Few will be crushed – most will either be repaired; or written off. After that, they end up being rebuilt and sold with a salvage or rebuilt title.
Except, sometimes that somehow either doesn't happen; or it gets whitewashed though a series of shady transactions. If your VIN check doesn't turn anything up but you're still suspicious, trust your instincts and start digging in. I've put together some bullet points to check, including suggestions from NADA and National Consumers League. What other tips – or horror stories – do you have?
Title and VIN
- Enter the VIN at the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) at VehicleHistory.gov. All insurers, salvage pools, junkyards, recyclers and self-insured entities such as rental car companies in all 50 states are required by law to report total loss vehicles to NMVTIS within 30 days. Many are reporting daily. Vehicle histories can be obtained for between $3 and $13.
- It's up to you if you buy a Flood, Junk, Salvage, Rebuilt or Reconstructed title – I've warned you, you know what you're getting into. But again, titlewashing across state lines happens. Watch out for physical alteration of the actual title, too – you know, cutting and pasting, white-out, whatever. You need to hold that piece of paper in your hand.
- Be wary of buying a car sight unseen. It's laughably easy to alter a digital image of a title or VIN. You or someone you trust needs to see the car, its VIN and documentation in person before you commit one cent.
- Even if there are no other red flags, a Carfax can also tell you that a car was registered in Staten Island or Atlantic City in October 2012. By itself that might not mean anything, but if you're building a case it's a nice piece of evidence. Reporting for these is far from perfect, but it helps.
- If you're buying from a dealer with any kind of warranty, get it in writing. This applies to new cars, as well.
- Just Google the VIN. You'd be surprised how often you can find old dealer auctions. Learn to use Google's cache to find old records that the auction company itself has deleted.
Physical inspection.
Salt water is vastly worse than fresh.
- Any funny smell, whether mold or mildew; or from the inch-thick stack of Little Trees hanging from the mirror to mask it.
- Mold or mildew itself.
- Discolored, bleeding or redyed upholstery.
- Condensation in the gauges, radio or exterior lamps.
- Inoperable speakers, or fresh sealant around the door panels.
- Burned-out bulbs in the interior or trunk.
- Silt or residue in the interior under carpeting, under the dash, in the steering column, rear seats, spare-tire well, gauges or door pockets.
- Water marks, rust or evaporation residue (i.e., salt) in the same places. Just reach up under the bottom of the plastic dash cover and run your finger in there.
- Gritty or erratic power-window or seat operation.
- Hard starting, rough running or hesitation.
- Thin clearcoat or chrome from overpolishing; scratches and touchups from grit.
- Bulging dash and door panels.
- Rust on screws in the console or other areas where the water would normally not reach unless submerged.
- Seat tracks can hold many clues, whether they're rusting, or have sand in them.
- Mud or grit in alternator crevices, behind wiring harnesses and around the small recesses of starter motors, power steering pumps and relays.
- Any damage to wiring connections, fuses and blocks, including rust, water residue or suspicious corrosion.
- Undercarriage rust and flaking metal that would not normally be associated with late model vehicles.
- Freshly replaced exhaust in a late-model vehicle; or corroded exhaust. Exhaust is another good place to hunt for silt.
- If you don't feel confident doing your own inspection, you probably aren't reading this blog…but any good local shop will do it.

Or a fish in the back seat!
The second thing I thought about when Sandy hit, after concern for the people affected, was my concern for all the collector cars that will be lost. Good article, thanks!
For all the warnings, there is no guarantee that you won't be stuck with one. There are still states (I believe) that are less than particular about titles being correct. I read an article not that long ago about flood cars being "laundered" (no pun!!) through those states and showing up with clean titles in other stats for market price. I can't recall the details, but it was disconcerting to say the least.
I bought a flood damaged 79 Chev diesal in 1980,it was in a lake for a month, I dryed it out, replaced carpet and seat and all oils and filters and drove it 29 yrs, then when it finally rusted out to bad I bought another flood damaged 96 Ford .in 99 .it only ran 15 years. now have another flood damaged 2000 chev. its been great too. so except for carpets and seats, I have no problem buying flood damaged salvage vehicles .
I think the important thing is that the buyer know about the damage before making the purchase. Damage whether from water or accident should be factored into the purchase decision.
If they've been in fresh water, the damage is far less than salt water. Yesterday I posted a comment about a pickup that was dropped in a lake that was very high in alkali content. We got it going but, even after solving all the little problems that crept up, the truck smelled like that lake, especially on a hot day. And the owner was a cigar smoker.
Wait a minute! you had a 79 Chev diesel that lasted 29 years??? Flooded or not that has to be some kind of a record. Congratulations.
'99 to '12 is 13 years.
but 1979 plus 29 years is 2008 😉
Do you remember the GM diesels of the late 70s and early 80s? They were not long lived . . .
The diesel used in GM passenger vehicles was different than than trucks.
I had a 78-79 GMC with the 5.7 olds Diesel in it. same as the car version. the 6.2 came later.
A diesel engine isn't going to be hurt anymore than a gas engine when it gets submerged. You just have to make sure that the injection system is completely free of water. I read the comments about GM diesels (which is veering off the main topic somewhat): I worked on them from Day 1 and it was the most misunderstood engine that GM ever came out with. Treated right (and serviced by someone who understood diesels) they got 200-300K miles without complaint. Still some running out west.
Tell it! I see an 80 Burban running around here daily.
Unless the engine was running, and it blows my mind to see the way people try to go through water….then the engine is puke
Engines "puke" for a LOT of reasons. If flooded, most engines can be dismantled, blue-printed, and then run BETTER than stock. If there's scoring from silt-ingestion, DUH!, replace the damaged parts! There are some re-build kits that cost $200., plus You add the "cost" of your time to do it. Tank the blocks so you know those are not plugged/corrosion's stopped.
I had a 2004 VW Passat V6 that 'died' on me driving thru a flooded roadway on 2007–my fault entirely–I shouldda known better. I had it towed to the dealer, and they told me that the engine 'ingested silt' and was RUINED….and my insurance co would not pay to have it fixed (too expensive?!) but they would pay for a 'used engine.' The end result being, they kept my car for 6 months (but I had a free loaner that they gave me to use, so I didn't care…) swapped the motor, and after I got it back, it STILL didn't run right–it had a 'miss' in it that almost got me killed merging onto high-ways….Under accelaeration, it would cut out, and act like it was gonna stall! Numerous attempts to fix it failed, and when I asked to trade it in for something else, the best "deal" they could make me (I was so far upsidedown on this car, I was having nose-bleeds!) was on something older, with MORE miles, and my pymnts would go up $50 a month! I finally got fed up with it, and traded the Passat off on something I didn't like–at a different dealership–just to be rid of it. And got further behind the 8-ball on THAT deal!
The bottom line? I'll NEVER drive thru standing water again–it just isn't worth it!
Another totally misunderstood GM engine, perhaps even more so was the Chevy Vega engine. It was designed as a disposable engine. Chevy dealers were to have engine replacement stalls, and have replacement engines in stock. An owner would pull in, and supposedly drive out in less than an hour with a new engine. At least that was what was presented to dealership staff prior to the Vega introduction. The dealership I worked at never did have a dedicated stall.
Was it fresh water flood or salt water … Once in Salt water you cannot use it for an extended period at all. Fresh water you can use it a little longer . Salt water ruins all the wiring , Bearings and all areas you have not even thought of .
I have removed several cars from Salt water . You can get the cars running again but it's down hill from that day on . You can re use fenders & bumpers and the like if you can neutralize the salt . Parts only .
I think that Catalina Wagon has some promise.
Oh, yeah. That'll buff right out, no problem.
Interior looks sharp. Vinyl, the material for forever.
Au contraire mon aimee! Many poor nauga's gave up their hydes to swathe the interior of Pontiac's.
The top may need a little TLC…
I think that its a Tempest wagon, 1966. The front bumper is like the one on my 1966 LeMans.
"Ran when Beached"
Wow! – When did they make a convertible wagon ??
Where and when was the photo of the beached Pontiac taken?
"Aye, aye!" said he, "And now we agree," said Barnacle Bill the Sailor.
Thanks for this article. When dismantling my former daily driver I discovered major surface rust in some unlikely places. That discovery answered a lot of questions for me. During my time of owning the car it had suffered from a variety of odd problems and was a money pit. I'm guessing that it spent some time partially underwater before I got it.
I hit a deep puddle formed by a small landslide in a rainstorm in my 2001 Caravan. I was lucky not to have hydroplaned; I had a wave on the windshield. Over the next two years, I had rust forming on the underside of the hood, had to replace the complete front brakes because of rust, and had part of the exhaust system right otff the manifold rust through. Amazing the damage water can cause, even short-term exposure like mine. Every time I see someone driving in water up to the headlights I feel sorry for them and the costs coming up!
That 66 Bonny wagon does it for me, I love the nautical look. Park that in your driveway and listen to the neighbors complain. Just tell them it is a restoration project or your new winter drive to work car.
Yes folks, beware. It is a shame the misery of Long Island is sure to spread to other places. I travel Sunrise Highway about 50 miles worth almost daily, and see a parade of flatbeds with clean looking cars headed east. This is every day since the storm. I have seen two flatbeds from Muskogee, OK on the Island just a couple of days after the storm. We were still waiting on lines for gas… I wondered about the exporting of flood cars. If the deal is too good to be true, it is not true. Scammers are a lazy lot, and will always leave telltale evidence of their handy work. I am wondering where the clearinghouse for cars is on eastern Long Island, or who is buying all these cars that I am seeing. Have to keep digging for answers.
ADESA in Yappank
The Pontiac looks like a 1964 Station Wagon.
David gets the Irving Thalberg Lifetime Award for publishing this. Hemmings gets the Oscar.
I agree that it looks like a '64. I have a '64 convert and the front end looks the same, especially the bumper.
In Feb 2006 I was looking for anew daily driver. I settled on a leftover new 2005 Mazda3, but looked at some used 2002-2003 Protege5s first. I had a Carfax subscription and a title search for one revealed that it had been recently bought at auction in Louisiana and moved north. No other clues in the car itself, and the dealer swore it wasn't flood damaged (of course) but I wasn't going to take any chances.
I once bought a Chevy van that the owner blew the motor in and then dumped in the water for the insurance.The van had sat for 4 years in storage,well the motor iI knew about, but after replacing the trans,rear end,front wheel bearings and the ecm and some wiring it did run great and was sold,good thing I had a parts van,but I would do it again if the right deal came along
I worked at a Ford dealership in northern California and we had many flood cars come in after big rain storms. Most were totaled out because so many electrical control units are now located under the carpets..so it does even have to be a big storm like Sandy to do the damage..
The only thing that looks worse than this is the 57 Plymouth that was entombed in Tulsa Ok.
Well, there is this 1956 Caddy convertible that I saw on the island of Hawaii a few years ago….
I think a good body/paint shop should be able to get that ready for Mecum 2014 Las Vegas auction.
I own a 70 Karmann Ghia that my daughter drove as her daily driver for several years. One summer, during a heavy rainstorm, the street she parked the car on had the storm sewer plug with leaves and the water level rose to about three feet deep. My daughter worked nights and the storm came about noon so she was still sleeping when it hit. Some of her friends at the apartment building where she lived were pounding on her door to wake her up. When she saw what was happening, she called me and ask what to do. To told her to get some of her friends to help her push the car to dry land. When she got out the street, the Ghia was floating in the water on the street.
With the help of her friends, she was able to move the car out of the water. She then opened the doors, popped out the back seat and left the doors open some. I called a tow truck to move the car to a local foreign car shop. The next day I went to look at the car and saw that the papers in the glove box in the dash were dry, so I figured that the water did not get into any of the gauges in the dash. In the engine compartment, I could see the high water mark on the fan housing, almost up to the top of it. As there is no electronic controls on this car, I figured that there was very little or no damage to car.
The day after I looked at the car, I called the repair shop and ask them to drain the engine and transmission oil and see if they could get it running. Well unknown to the shop gopher that the car was in a flood, he went out and started the car up and drove it into the shop !
It took about three engine and transmission oil changes to get all the water out. Most surprising was that after I got the car home, was that I opened the distributor to see how much water was in it, it was bone dry.
I did have to rebuild the starter as it turned out to be full of water and stopped working after about two weeks.
I ask my insurance company if I could keep the car, and they said yes, and they knocked off $500.00 on the claim amount.
I still have the car today. So not all flood damaged cars are junk. But with today's modern cars, with all the electronics, if the electronic get wet, they will fail.
There are many states that sell older vehicles on a bill of sale only. The car can then be run through another state that issues a title. A really good inspection should always be made on any car unless you want to throw your money away.
I have my doubts about Carfax. If the report shows something negative, great. But what does a clean Carfax tell you? Not much. Their biggest customers are used car dealers, who benefit from clean reports! They have a perverse incentive to be less thorough and collect less data.
Well if you fall for a clean carfax, just be forewarned. I purchased a very low mileage one owner 1995 SAAB 9000 Aero (one of 600 made) from Carmart in Villa Park, I'll.-(NEVER-EVER) buy from them!! I had even had a seperate inspection done through someone the dealer recommended, (also another scam) the car received clean carfax, inspection. I had the car shipped to Boston and not only had the car been in an accident, it was blatantly obvious to the naked eye, broken glass still in the scuff plate screw holes, rear door bent inside with paint missing, poor quality paint on bottom of rear spoiler. Please never buy a car unseen, even with an inspection
Both CarFax and AutoCheck are only as good as the information that is supplied to them. I had a Chev S-10 that was damaged in two separate accidents during my ownership, neither one being my fault, the second one being a total loss. Neither one ever showed up on CarFax because at that time my insurance company did not report to CarFax. There is also a delay between the time of a reportable incident and the time it actually shows up; that delay can be as much as a year. I've seen dealers selling cars with obvious repaired damage and supplying a clean CarFax, but a new CarFax report several months later reports the damage.
CarFax and AutoCheck are certainly not perfect, but they are better than nothing.
it's also a good idea to inspect the radiator. Mud, sand, grass, etc. will gather.
Being from N.J. North and just Experiencing Sandy , a Pro in the area said the best give away is Check the Trunk , Especially the spare tire well for any water [ ring ] marks .
Nice early 60s Pontiac Fixer Upper !!
Dont forget about what is probably the most famously flooded car of all.
The 59-60 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham built in Italy.
At $13,000 they were not going to sell many so they didn't build many. HOWEVER the production lists 99 cars built for 1959 and 101 built for 1960. Strange numbers . . . . ?
The story was that a 1959 was being loaded onto the ship when it fell into the harbor. They fished it out and it 'became' a 1960. I have never heard whether a Brougham expert ever tracked the full story on that car.
Back in 1956, being in college and POOR, I needed a car. So a $20 junkyard bargain Merc with a blown head gasket, and water in the oil. I didn;t have money OR time, so I just changed the gasket and drove for a couple of weeks. Then the gasket blew again. Well screw it, I just HAD to get to work so I just drove it with a gallon jug of water. It sounded like hell, but I got the 20 miles to work. Later filled up the water again. Rather nervous as the watery oil was flowing out the dipstick, but drove home to sleep after my14 hour day at work.Again the next day. And so on, On changing the head gasket I noted that the block had an erroded gouge where the gaskets were blowing. Finally I sold it to another junk yard for…$25 bucks. Bought a chevvy with that. A few months later a pal borrowed it and sheepishly came back three days later by bus…?
"Where is the chevvy?" "It burned up, the floor pad caught fire from a hole in the muffler…"
I got a partial restitution of $10. And a few days Pieter vanished from school, never to be seen again.
Salt water immersion should be considered a terminal illness for vehicles, unless they are made to withstand it. A friend left his 4 x 4 pick 'um up on one of our local gravelly beaches one day, forgetting about the tide. He rescued it as water lapped at the floorpan. Foolishly kept it. Two years later he could easily tell how high the water had been, from the bubbling paint and rust.
Just submerge it in Naval Jelly for the next 40 years!
Just think about how heart broken the owner must be
Google "Hurricane Sandy cars", go to images and marvel . . .
We had a flood here in Alberta last spring.
They are still cleaning up.
How many of the flood damaged cars are going to or are already on the market is anybody's guess.
Too bad more people cann't be warned about this situation.
Please know that the only "swimmers" that will end up with a salvage title are those that received insurance payoffs. If my own car was in a flood and my insurance didn't cover the damage, I could clean it up and sell it with a clear title. That's how lots of these cars get sold to unsuspecting buyers, many of whom are dealers who get them as trade-ins from folks who feel it's OK because "it's just a dealer." They seem to forget that ultimately the car will get sold to another customer.
Although of course I hate to see a 1964 Pontiac wagon in this condition I have to admit the selection of that photo to go with this article gave me a severe case of the giggles. Well done.
the other day I was looking for a dodge diesel pick up and I spotted one from southern alberta when I seen it was from the flood area I was not interested in the interests of the chev and gm diesel engines the pickups and the car engines were the same except for the accessories on them I believe they came out in the late 60s about 1968 and lasted till 1971 in the pickups and maybe up to 1973 in Pontiacs and olds and Cadillac etc they were a gas engine with a diesel fuel injection system in the cars they were good mpg and lasted up to 2 to 3 hundred thousand miles in the pickups you were lucky to get 100 thousand miles a little better milage than a gas pot
Title and picture would make a great poster.
Also a pretty good picture for a caption contest.
Be sure to check the fuel tank for any signs of moisture
Not all jurisdictions are equal. Some have salvage-rebuilt-irreparable brands and others do not. Just because a storm hit Louisiana or New Jersey, don't assume the vehicles from there are the only problem. The fraudsters will transfer vehicles that did not have insurance coverage to places like New Mexico or Arizona, and "brand-wash" them. A person might think they are getting a nice vehicle from a dry location when it originated somewhere else. As has been stated in other places, be careful. Having worked in a DOV office, also be warned that just because you get a vehicle registered today does not mean that once the more careful investigation takes place that the DOV won't come knocking on your door to tell you that you have an irreparable vehicle not fit for the road (in jurisdictions where the various salvage titles exist).
High Tide coming… good time to go BODYSURFING.

From spending a relaxing afternoon on the beach to shopping 'til you drop at the many stores in downtown Sarasota, this tropical metropolis has something to offer anyone. Located south of Tampa Bay and north of Fort Myers, Sarasota offers a premier Gulf Coast location. A Sarasota rental car will allow you to experience everything, from the city's white sand beaches and crystal clear water to its thriving shopping and dining scenes. Take a Sarasota car rental to one of the many golf or tennis clubs in the city, or you can relax at a nature reserve for a peaceful afternoon.
Get active
Florida is known for its extensive golf courses and outdoor recreation because of the year-long beautiful weather in the Sunshine State. Travelers can take advantage of the weather by heading to a golf course or tennis club and working up a sweat. Drive a Sarasota rental car to one of the championship golf courses in Venice, such as the Golf Club at Capri Isles, Calusa Lakes and Waterford Golf Club. Or, drive to the top-rated Lakewood Ranch. This course received 4.5 stars by Golf Digest's "Places to Play" and "One of America's Top Courses 2008" by Zagat.
Take a breather
Sarasota is known for its many parks and nature reserves that offer peace and quiet in a bustling urban center. Travelers can kayak amid manatees, venture on a nature tour where they may catch a glimpse of the famous Florida gators, or drive a Sarasota car rental to the Myakka State Park & Wilderness Preserve.

It seems that Dick Cheney isn't the only Vice President who curses:
At an event at Union Station today where Vice President Joe Biden was heralding the $1.3 billion in investments in rebuilding train stations and passenger rails, a microphone picked up one of the former senator's myriad Senate colleagues addressing him, formally, as "Mr. Vice President."
That met with Vice President Biden's standard reply.
"Gimme a f*&$#ing break," he said, apparently unaware that the microphone was on.
OMG, he said a naughty word! Everyone freak out! Over to you, Worldnutdaily readers:
hey did you know during the battle at valley forge that george washinton threatened his troops with dicisplinary action if they cursed at all, his thinking was that we are a righteous and humble people and that language was for tyrannts and villians. you best read the true history books instead of the revised liberals ones whom try to discredit this nation. man, i really loathe liberals!
Right, because conservatives would never say naughty words. Anyone remember Bush and Cheney calling a reporter an asshole? Or Cheney telling Pat Leahy to go fuck himself on the floor of the Senate? Then again, this dolt did say that bad language was for tyrants and villains, so maybe this is a bad counterexample.
It it wasn't in Joe's heart it would not be in his mouth. There would be no need to watch his language. We need to say that in front of a mirror, The fact that he has lots of company is not a justification. Does anyone really stop to consider what they are saying? I think we need to analyze these by words for their actual meaning and then we might not want to be so free with them.
Right. Someone raised with the entirely invented and artificial notion that a given combination of letters is naughty even if you can say the exact same thing with lots of other combinations of letters is now telling us all to analyze the issue.
My favorite:
Profanity in all forms is normal for liberals. Ever seen a pro-life demonstration, with pro-life on one side of the street and pro-choice on the other? The conservatives will be praying or quietly pleading for life to be respected, while the choicers are spewing the most vile, hateful language they can think of. I've read that Rahm Emmanuel is legendary for his use of profanity. Hillary Clinton has an exceptually sharp tongue which has been caught on tape. The list goes on and on. It boils down to one's ethical, Christian beliefs. Most conservatives are Bible-believing Christians and are temperate in their language, prefering to pray rather than spew obscenities. Most liberals have no use for the Bible or interest in Christian principles, and it shows in their godless tirades and everyday use of profanity.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls basketball team got the win it needed Friday night, but not the help it needed.
With its upset win over the Española Valley Sundevils Tuesday night in the valley, Los Alamos kept alive its chance for half of a District 2AAAA regular season title, but needed to beat the Capital Jaguars Friday and get some help from the Bernalillo Spartans.
The Hilltoppers came through Friday, knocking off the Capital Jaguars 60-39 at Griffith Gymnasium, but the help didn't arrive. Bernalillo, which sits at the bottom of the 2AAAA standings, couldn't pull off what would've been one of the bigger upsets in Class AAAA this year, with the Sundevils prevailing 66-39.
Los Alamos (15-11 overall, 5-2 in 2AAAA) finishes the regular season in second place and will host the district tournament semifinal game Thursday night. The winner of Thursday's game — between the winner of Capital and either Bernalillo or Taos — will advance to the district title game Saturday at Española Valley.
But because of a rule change that went into effect last season, the team emerging from the district semifinal game is not awarded an automatic state tournament bid.

The Ducks were inside the Moshofsky Center today for their first practice in anticipation of the BCS National Championship game against Auburn on Jan. 10.
There wasn't a lot of game-plan work, and the young players were not in scout-team jerseys, but it did have the feel of a game week in one regard — new to the practice soundtrack today was "Eye of the Tiger," in a nod to Auburn's mascot.
Mostly, though, this practice was heavy on drills and fundamental work. There was a scored 3-on-2 passing drill won by the offense, 38-27, and they did some 11-on-11 work late in the day, but this was for shaking out the cobwebs and getting back into football mode after a week off for final exams.
Chip Kelly was absent for today's Heisman Trophy ceremony, joining LaMichael James and running backs coach Gary Campbell in New York for that. Linebackers coach Don Pellum also wasn't there, perhaps to attend the LOTT Trophy ceremony Monday with Casey Matthews, who also was absent today.
Mark Helfrich seemed to be something of the ring-leader today, calling out drills between periods, and Steve Greatwood did the normal post-practice address from Kelly, going over the next day's schedule and also the players' media obligations.
Jackson Rice was suited up for the first time in more than two weeks, with what he confirmed was a bout with mononucleosis. Alejandro Maldonado still did the punting today, but Rice was the holder on placekicks, and he'll be eased back into the punting role as well.
Lavasier Tuinei caught some passes and did conditioning work with an athletic trainer, though he didn't suit up as he continues his rehabilitation from a shoulder issue. He said he expects to play in the bowl game. D.J. Davis also wasn't suited up, with what I presume is an ankle issue that bothers him from time to time.
Though Jeff Maehl was in a red protected jersey, he made a number of really nice plays in drills. Also in red were Terrell Turner, Darrion Weems and Ricky Heimuli.
Darron Thomas connected on a nice deep ball with Maehl, who beat the coverage of Cliff Harris, and moments later Bryan Bennett hit Will Murphy on what looked like the same route, with Anthony Gildon in coverage. Young guys also got some chances, with Daryle Hawkins throwing a deep pass to Eric Dungy, who beat Troy Hill on the play. There were a number of nice moments for the defense too, but those plays struck me because they were all so similar.
In the 3-on-2 drill, Thomas found Nick Cole down the field for a nice completion. He also had a pretty play on which he seemed to adjust his throw mid-motion, floating a ball over a defender's head that Brandon Williams went up and caught.

Post-trip: Vienna, Austria
Explore Vienna, a magnificent Old World city that has lost nothing of its grace and charm—a city of museums and music, art and architecture. Wander among the city's Baroque palaces and stunning architecture, along the same streets that Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, and Freud strolled.
- It's Included:
- Accommodations: for 3 nights at the unrated Ramada Encore Vienna City Center or similar
- 3 meals: 3 breakfasts
- Included tour: Vienna
- Exclusive services of a Grand Circle Program Director
- All transfers
- Now included for 2015:
- Gratuities for local guides and motorcoach drivers on your extension and all optional tours
hiddenDay 1Vienna, Austria • Optional Musical Vienna tour
After breakfast, say farewell to your fellow travelers on Eastern Europe to the Black Sea. You will then be transferred via coach to your hotel in Vienna this morning. Enjoy lunch en route on your own and arrive early this afternoon.
This afternoon, you can join a guided tour of Vienna—featuring some of its most well-known historic sites, including the Ringstrasse, one of the many achievements of the Emperor Franz Joseph. In 1857, the Emperor ordered the demolition of the ancient city walls, which were no longer needed as fortifications and which were impeding the growth of the city. In their place was constructed an elegant 2.5-mile-long boulevard, encircling the Innere Stadt. The neoclassic buildings along the Ringstrasse bring together all the greatest architectural styles in an exuberant celebration of all that seemed possible during the Industrial Revolution.
You then walk to a typical Viennese coffeehouse, and stop in for coffee and cake. Our stroll continues along the city sidewalks, passing by the well-known Imperial Palace, home to many generations of the Habsburg family, and the renowned Spanish riding school.
The balance of the day is free to relax or do some more exploring on your own.
Your evening is free to dine on your own and spend as you wish. Ask your Program Director for suggestions.
Or, join us for an optional Musical Vienna tour. Sit back and let the strains of classical composers carry you off to the former glory of this imperial city.
hiddenDay 2Explore Vienna • Optional Fling in Grinzing tour
Enjoy more time to make discoveries at your own pace in Vienna. You might want to visit the Imperial Apartments at the Hofburg Palace. Formerly the residence of the Habsburg rulers, the Hofburg contains the 19-room state and residential apartments of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth, which are open to the public. In an impressively staged exhibition, the Sissi Museum seeks to give the visitor an understanding of the myths and reality surrounding the figure of Empress Elisabeth. The Imperial Silver Collection is a fascinating museum containing the porcelain, glass, and silverware once used at the imperial table.
Spend the evening as you wish.
This evening, join us for an optional tour and dinner with local vintages in the Grinzing wine district at an authentic Heurigen restaurant. The Heurigen tradition began when Emperor Joseph II passed a law stating that small local winemakers were allowed to serve their vintages and food to members of the public so long as they sold only wine of their own making. Many people then opened the gardens of their own homes and small estates, and visiting one of these establishments became a traditional outing for the city dwellers. It's a rich tradition that is maintained today. After dinner, the return trip back to your hotel is by bus.
hiddenDay 3Vienna • Optional Best of Vienna tour
This morning, join us for our Best of Vienna optional tour to get to know three completely different faces of Vienna.
Begin by visiting the world-famous Wiener Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), built by the Emperor Franz Joseph and inaugurated in 1869 with a performance of Mozart's Don Giovanni. The building was almost completely destroyed in the 1945 bombings but was rebuilt and presented its second opening in 1955 with Beethoven's Fidelio. The new ornate Opera House follows the traditional Neoclassicism of the original structure, and has been the showplace of choice for world-renowned performers, such as Maria Callas, Jose Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Jessie Norman. Please note: If the Vienna State Opera is closed, you will visit another of Vienna's cherished musical institutions.
Then see another side of Vienna with a stop at the Naschmarkt, a spectacular multicultural marketplace that dates back to the 16th century. Located along and above the Wien River, which flows under the Naschmarkt, this is part marketplace and part bazaar with stalls and vendors offering everything from exotic fruits and vegetables to sidewalk art. There are also galleries, coffeehouses, and restaurants poking out of narrow alleyways. You'll see and hear vendors from almost every corner of the world here in the Naschmarkt.
Your optional tour ends with a traditional stop at famous Prater Park. This old-fashioned amusement park was given to the Austrian people by the Emperor Franz-Joseph as a place to have fun. You'll enjoy a thrilling ride on the Riesenrad, the park's giant Ferris wheel. Built in 1897, it is one of the oldest and largest in the world, and became internationally recognized after the famous ride of Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton in the film, The Third Man.
Or enjoy a morning at leisure to relax, do some shopping, or explore this unique city on your own. Vienna has served as home and inspiration to some of the world's greatest artists, thinkers, and musicians. You'll see statues of Strauss, Mozart, Beethoven, and Mahler throughout the city, and see how music is such an integral part of Viennese life. The numerous performances of the Vienna State Opera House are the constant talk of the town, and its performers are treated like celebrities. The strains of waltz music emanate from the many cafes, and the entertainment moves outdoors to the sidewalks in good weather.
Your afternoon is also free to explore independently.
This evening, join your fellow travelers for a Farewell Drink at your hotel. Afterwards, spend the remainder of your final evening in Vienna as you wish.
hiddenDay 4Vienna • Return to U.S.
After breakfast, you are transferred to the airport for your return flight home.

By SHELDON RICHMANFuture of Freedom Foundation
With Mitt Romney's sweep of the latest primaries, he will almost certainly be President Barack Obama's Republican opponent in November. Romney has vowed to make the economy the chief issue against Obama, and he is sure to portray the president as an enemy of free enterprise in order to draw a contrast with himself. How fit is Romney's claim to be a champion of economic freedom?
The former Massachusetts governor and private-equity capitalist speaks often about free enterprise and the need for government to let entrepreneurship pull the economy out of its current doldrums. This sort of rhetoric is common for Republicans, who then proceed to violate economic freedom.
President George W. Bush, in a weird Orwellian manner, took this contradiction to its final stage of absurdity when he said during the 2008 financial debacle, "I've abandoned free market principles to save the free market system." For Bush, the free-market system apparently is not constituted by free-market principles. But if that's the case, what is the system constituted by?
Republicans may not typically speak so bluntly, but to most of them "the free-market system" isn't a set of principles; rather it is an emotional slogan to be spoken, especially as an election approaches. It's a way of saying, "Vote for us because the other guys aren't good Americans like we are."
Romney likes to say, "We are only inches away from ceasing to be a free market economy." But that must mean we now have - and have had - a free-market economy. Does he really mean that? If so, does he agree with Bush that free-market principles were "abandoned" with the bank bailouts like TARP (which Romney favored) and the GM and Chrysler rescues?
Another implication of his position is that the free market was responsible for the housing and financial debacle. We're not likely to hear Romney say this - it would concede too much to Obama - but it's logically implied by Romney's remarks.
This position diverges from what free-market advocates think happened. The essential story is this: Low-interest-rate money from the Federal Reserve, aggressive government policies to increase homeownership - even among people with bad credit histories or low incomes (or both) - and additional government intervention combined to create an unsustainable bubble in the housing industry, which in turn helped increase the fragility of the financial sector. Dubious mortgages became the foundation of widely held securities and derivatives, facilitated by government-sponsored enterprises - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - and a government-licensed rating cartel. Then the bubble burst.
Does Romney give even a hint that he understands this? If so, he wouldn't be talking as though the free market currently exists and as though we still have it to lose.
Beyond that, Romney expresses his orientation toward political economy when he says, "Washington has to become an ally of business, not the opposition of business." A free-market advocate would know this doesn't exhaust the alternatives. Government should be neither an ally nor an opponent of business, because both imply interference with private property and free exchange.
This may be harder to see in the case of a business-government alliance. One need only remember that we live in a world of scarcity. If government helps one industry or firm, it must do so by channeling scarce resources away from other uses. This disables the process by which entrepreneurs attempt to devote resources to purposes most favored by consumers. It's a form of government privilege, which many businessmen are all too happy to receive - at the expense of others. There is a world of difference between being pro-market and being pro-business - a distinction that apparently escapes Romney.
Of course, Obama could honestly say he agrees with Romney's statement about business and government. He too believes government should be business's ally. Just ask Jeffrey Immelt of General Electric, who chairs his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, and Jim McNerney of Boeing (and formerly of GE), who chairs the President's Export Council. Romney and Obama's differences over the precise mix of government and business decision-making power should not fool anyone into thinking they have a fundamental disagreement.
Once again, the presidential election will present an echo, not a choice.

Belfast International Airport, Northern Ireland's main gateway, is expecting over 150,000 passengers through its doors this festive season as people return for the Christmas holidays.
As well as passengers thousands of meeters and greeters are expected to descend on the airport as they welcomehome loved ones for Christmas. And the airport is giving them a Christmas bonus by reducing car parking fees for those picking up family and friends this Christmas season!
John Doran, managing director at the airport, said,"Christmas is one of our busiest times and we are expecting around 60,000passengers to use the airport in the few days before Christmas alone. The terminal and car parks will be busy so as a thank you to all our customers, there will be a special low car parking rate on Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th December. It will cost just £1 for up to 2 hours in either short stay and main stay car park. Carol singers will be on hand in the arrivals area to welcome passengers home and add that festive touch.
Jennifer Groves, Route Manager for easyJet, added, "As Northern Ireland's largest airline, Christmasis always a busy time for in us, in fact 29th December will see our busiest day over the festive period with over 9,000 passengers expected to use the airport on this day alone. easyJet will operate over 350 flights from Belfastcarrying over 40,000 passengers over the Christmas period."
Mr Doran continued "It won't just be the passenger aircraft working hard, our cargo business will also be in full swing, making sure that all those presents are delivered in time for Christmas. While the airport has no scheduled flights on Christmas day we still remain open should there be a requirement for diversions or medical emergencies. So as you can see there is no time to rest as just after Christmas the ski season kicks in and we will be expecting tens of thousands of passengers to be heading off to the slopes, jetting off for some winter sun or heading back home after the festivities. Our staff will be workingextremely hard throughout the holiday period to keep Northern Ireland flying.
In order to make their journey as hassle-free as possible this Christmas passengers are advised to take on boardthe following tips:
Be prepared for the airport security checks, make sure you remove all outer clothing and place in the trays
If you are taking gifts with you – DO NOT WRAP them as security staff may need to look inside them.
Please do not bring Christmas crackers or party poppers in your cabin baggage.
Remember that restrictions on liquids still apply. For more information please check www.belfastairport.com or the Department For Transport website www.dft.org.uk

Title: The Jaguar Legacy
Author: Maureen Fisher
Published in April 2007 by Lachesis Publishing
Genre: Paranormal
ISBN-10 (Paperback): 1-897370-4-0
ISBN-13 (Paperback): 978-1897370-04-9
ISBN (eBook): 1-897370-05-9
Charley Underhill's career has hit the toilet. Rock bottom doesnt even start to cover it, and that being not bad enough, her mother has resumed her drinking habits, and Charley feels the need to get her into rehab. To do that, she needs money, and to get money, she has to depend on her career, the one that got flushed, BIG TIME! Talk about a vicious circle, but she is not going to let it stop her. Nor is she going to let the series of "panic attacks" she has been undergoing recently stop her either. The only thing she needs is one story, a juicy exposé, one that is exceptional to get her career on track. One that is sensational, but true, verified, and all wrapped up when she presents it to her boss. With what happened before, she is not thinking well of her chances, but the right story, the right timing, and the right presentation just might get her back into the swing of her career. At the same time, she can get her mother the help she needs for her alcoholism. The Betty Ford Clinic is expensive, but there she is certain her mother will be dried out and helped.
It is with all these lofty goals in mind that she sets off into the jungles of Mexico, to Oxaca and the archaeological site of one Dr. Alistair Kincaid. She has heard rumours of an exciting find, even if it was from a disgruntled native who was ejected from the dig site. Whispers of a curse that caused accidents and injuries, whispers of arcane mysteries in an long forgotten Olmec city being excavated by Dr. Kincaid. Once there, she finds that things may not be exactly as she thought at first blush. Dr. Kincaid is not old and wizened, instead he is fairly young and virile, and handsome enough to get her blood hot as the weather, and need something to quench the flames. It also brings back the strange panic attacks, but yet here they are more vivid, more meaningful, and as she explores the site under Kincaid's watchful eye, she comes to the conclusion that maybe she should believe in things they eye may not be able to see, like reincarnation, shapeshifters, magic, and maybe even love.
Dr. Alistair Kincaid has a problem. The plane he was hoping brought him a new member for his team. a geologist he needed badly brought him only trouble. Instead of the help, it dropped a very nosy reporter, and his unwanted ex-wife right in his lap. The ex-wife he figured he could ignore, the reporter, he had to keep his eye on. There was no way he wanted the find that could be imminent to be blasted over the press. He could not yet afford the security it would take if the inklings and nagging feelings he had were to prove true. The last thing he wanted was for the local bandits to come and raid the poorly protected site. If the find were released on his time table, the extra funds would be available, and he could replenish his own depleted coffers as well as protect any artifacts found. So far the site has been rich in hints, from the finely crafted statuary to the enormous temple set against the cliff face.
Aye, and there was the rub, the oddity that told Alistair there was more here than just the odd placement of the pyramid. There was a rockslide that hid a hole, and the placement of the temple, and the tunnel that led to the rock-fall made Alistair's head swim with the possibilities. What secret the mountain hid, he didn't know, but he was going to find out one way or another. Now he had to keep his ex-wife from fouling the site as she did before, and the reporter from releasing the information to the press before he was ready. Keeping Leila in line was something he was fairly certain he could do, there was little love lost between them, and with her cold calculating behavior, Alistair knew she was up to no good. The reporter was something else, she was an unknown quantity, her reasons for being there, although somewhat sound, are not entirely clear. Alistair can only hope allowing her to remain will not be something he regrets for the rest of his life.
There are some words to describe The Jaguar Legacy by Maureen Fisher that immediately come to mind. Sweeping, vivid, exciting, haunting, soul searing and wonderful are a few. Sweeping in its scope, the story tells of love lost, love found, and the ancient spirit that wants to correct a wrong from long ago. Charley Underhill will learn a few things about her past, her ANCIENT past as she struggles to reconcile the strange things that are happening around her. The enigmatic Alistair Kincaid is just one of the puzzles she will have to face along with some very sobering truths about herself. Alistair on the other hand is haunted by Leila's betrayal, and his distrust has spilled over on to all those of the female persuasion. Leila has ruined his reputation by seeding a previous site with fake artifacts, and then got caught. Since they were married at the time, her misdeeds spilled over onto Alistair, and he as been finding it next to impossible to get funding for the dig.
The Jaguar Legacy brings Alistair and Charley into close proximity, but now each has other lessons to learn. Alistair must learn to trust, and to love again in spite of the odds, and Charley? She must decide what is more important, her career at the expense of her own scruples, or doing the right thing, and facing up to her own problems with newly opened eyes. Both must decide if personal success is worth destroying the life another, and they must find that only together can they face down the danger that awaits them, and Alistair is the only one who can help and support her as Charlie claims The Jaguar Legacy. This book is currently available in both ebook and print format. Ebook is available through the publisher, Lachesis Publishing, and print copies can be found at Amazon.com, so do drop by and pick up a copy today. This is a book filled to the brim with love and adventure, and it is just waiting for you...go! Go on...go get it!

Imagine this—a Gilmore Girls movie!
It may not be in the works right now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen some day.
In fact, Alexis Bledel, who played Rory opposite Lauren Graham on the hit drama series, says she's kinda open to it...
"I don't know what story is left to tell," Bledel, now 28 told me yesterday during a chat at the Four Seasons Hotel. "But I'd very curious to read a script."
Wouldn't Rory be a mother by now?
"Oh my god—a baby bump! Could you imagine," Bledel said with a laugh. "I actually always thought they were going to do that in the series. Since Lorelai got pregnant early, I thought my character was supposed to get pregnant early because she had all these boyfriends. Rory always had boyfriends."
And speaking of boyfriends, Bledel stars in the upcoming flick The Good Guy as a young New Yorker who finds out the love of her life (Scott Porter) is, well, a cheating douchebag.
Bledel said she's never dated someone similar, explaining that her love life is "not as exciting as the movie."
She just wrapped The Conspirator, a Robert Redford-directed, post-Civil War period piece about Mary Surrat, the only woman among the eight people arrested and charged with conspiring to assassinate President Lincoln along with his vice president and secretary of state.
Bledel would love to do an action movie someday. "I'm sporty," she smiled. "But even if I'm not the action hero, I could be like one of the techies."
And she's been thinking about theater, too. "I don't know that I see myself belting one out on stage, like singing on Broadway," Bledel said. "But I think a dramatic play would be really cool."
Gilmore Girls: The Play anyone?

An excellent learning tool for orchestration classes, priced to fit any school budget.
The Miroslav Philharmonik Classik Edition Module is a full-featured orchestral instrument covering solo instruments and ensembles with 250 sounds spanning the entire orchestra (1.5GB samples). Based on the original Miroslav Vitous Symphonic Orchestra sample collection, Miroslav Philharmonik Classik has a musicality and playability rarely found in other orchestral sample collections. In this collection, Miroslav Vitous has accurately captured the depth, beauty, feeling, and emotions of the real players. Sampled in the Dvorák Symphony Hall (one of the best sounding halls in the world) with true spatial positioning, the sounds fit together when layering or multitracking. This Education Edition brings to you a complete and beautiful sounding orchestral product at a price that is a fraction of the cost of the original Miroslav Vitous Symphonic Orchestra sample collection, but with the same acoustic quality and realism.
A highly accomplished musician (one of the founding members of the band Weather Report), Miroslav knew how to bring the most musical aspects of the instruments and players together for this special sample collection. Because he sampled the orchestral ensembles in their correct spatial acoustic positioning within the Dvorák Symphony Hall in Prague the sounds gel perfectly like a high-quality classical music recording.
Miroslav's orchestral samples have an inspirational and emotional quality that is unique for symphonic arrangements and compositions. They've been a first choice for scoring numerous films, productions, and soundtracks for composers worldwide. All the Miroslav Philharmonik sounds can be opened by SampleTank 2.
