text: To get into vinyl, or not? 2012-11-28 06:43:30 I was set on constructing an analogue system, but I have seen several users criticize the various aspects of the vinyl medium. (sound quality/accuracy, cost of equipment, effort to play/digitize)I'm 20 years old and have never truly experienced vinyl. However, I am extremely intrigued by it. I very much like the idea of setting up an affordable but quality system to listen to vinyls on. Also, I would be digitizing my dads old albums and some of my own. I look at it as more of a hobby/interest than its practicality regarding current tech and sound quality. I like the idea of starting a record collection and listening to them with my friends. The nostalgia and audio technology are other aspects that interest me (big tech geek here). I'm aware of the imperfections of vinyl's sound and this is why I want to make sure I get a quality system to achieve the best possible sound the LP will produce (within budget). For my system, I had the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon and a pair of decent floor standing speakers in mind but was not set on which components I wanted to use with it (pre-amp + receiver, integrated amp, or just a receiver w/ phono inputs). This was originally the question I was going to ask you guys. Something I could connect my computer to in order to play music files is something I'd like to be able to do. I have always cared about sound quality and the majority of my albums are perfect CD rips (.flac). I currently do not have a hi-fi system to fully enjoy my music on which is another reason why I'm looking to purchase one. Also, this is something I plan to take with me and enjoy for many years to come.-So I ask, how do you like the vinyl experience compared to the CD experience? Can the added complexities with vinyl add to the experience? -Also, if I decide to go for a system, which device(s) combination might produce the best sound quality at a reasonable price?Thanks for any input!

What Did You Call Me?
-by Redsland
Some days youre the hammer, some days youre the nail. Today Im thinking screwdriver. Hold the OJ.
Around the office, Im known as the baseball guy. Years ago this could have been attributed to the fact that I was a rabid fan. But Im less rabid today, thanks in part to the loss of my pet raccoon, Snarly, and, somewhat ironically, to the dogged efforts of the medical community.
You probably know the type Im often assumed to be. Perhaps youre me yourself, and if so, do you know where either of us put the car keys? People who festoon their offices with autographed festoonery. Who proclaim Were number one! when the RPI clearly says theyre in the middle teens. People who, I think we can agree, have probably painted their chests more times than theyve polished their shoes.
Not me. Not anymore. But I perpetuate the myth of fandom. Why, you ask? Easy. I do it for those who are close to me. As a courtesy to my colleagues. For them. What can I say? Im a giver.
Why shouldnt I be? Were all the same. We put our pants on one leg at a time. Or, if you prefer, our panty hose, if, say, the office is really cold or were all going clubbing later. In any case, we all race to work each day, rush to our desks, and frantically try to cram 10 hours of Amazon.com and personal calls into only eight.
Before all of that and again after it, there are a few moments of silent calm as we walk to and from our cars. And sometimes, quite by coincidence, Ill be traveling to or from my car at precisely the same time you are. This is going to cause us to wait for an elevator together. To ride up or down together. To be together. And nothing, I have found, makes it easier for people to strike up a conversation of approximately elevator-ride length than being with the baseball guy.
Well, maybe I shouldnt say nothing makes it easier. After all, alcohol is well known as the social lubricant. But there is no place for alcohol in the office, wink wink, and besides, there are precious few people here Id want to lubricate, and even fewer whom Id want to have lubricate me.
And so I grease the skids by being the baseball guy. If not for my well-known avocation, who knows how many going up? tete-a-tetes beginning with How about that might have ended with weather, rather than pitching? Coincidentally, both questions elicit the same response, which is, 5, please.
Superficial chit-chat is such a strange animal. People seem compelled to engage in it with acquaintances whose names they cant quite remember, but stop speaking the moment an actual stranger climbs into the same elevator. My evening? To regale you with the tale would give you such a fascinating glimpse into my very being that when someone from 3 infiltrates our midst, we instantly lock down into an information embargo that would make the Dell hotline beam with pride.
The truth is, there are a lot of perks to being the baseball guy. My March Madness brackets can and do tank without much comment. If you draw my name in the Secret Santa pool, any gift thats held together with red stitches or covered in tobacco juice is perfectly acceptable, including Don Zimmer. And when new hires are being trotted around on their first day, Ive noticed that many more of them manage to say something cogent to me than they do to my neighbor, the extreme antiquing guy.
Sure, my title is a little one-dimensional, but its a far cry better than the sobriquets Ive earned at previous places of employment, like the baseball guy who better not show up late again, and guess whose turn it is to clean out the john.
Yep, its a sweet little system in which everybody wins. Everyone gets to focus on their own problems without thinking too much or too hard about me. And me? Well, now I can finally stop watching all of those games and just focus on the things I love: piles and piles of stats.

rochecompaan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 199 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
OpenPress is a printing service that aggregates orders to print openly licensed textbooks to drive down the cost of printing through volumes. We need an information website to market the concept and collect the contact details of people interested in using the service.
Schools, universities, colleges and other training institutes that use textbooks.
We need a simple yet visually appealing, warm and inviting information website using our existing logo. A link to a wireframe that shows a view of all the functional elements required follows:
Link to the wireframe: http://bit.ly/9TY9nV
Link to our logo: http://bit.ly/blOLVH
The splash/branding area of the site must be bold and prominent. There should be clear buttons for: "How it works" and "Sign up".
mint.com is a very good example of the layout we want but we don't want a mint.com clone. Here is a slideshow of how OpenPress works to help you develop your concept: http://slidesha.re/bzpAYh
Also read the blog entry by Steve Song here: http://bit.ly/9INyBn
Consider using a friendly version of the chart in the branding area.
General guidelines
1. Simplicity is very important. Remove all unnecessary visual elements and be careful to distract the user with to much decoration.
2. Use big bold text or icons to get the users attention but only where appropriate.
3. Use strong warm colours to divide the page into clear sections and highlight important elements. Be careful to overdo this and use this effect sparingly.
4. The design must scale vertically.
5. Don't use stock images of shiny happy people, corporates in suits, people working on computers /laptops, grass and clouds.
The winner will be asked to provide us with PSD files of the design. Good luck and have fun!

It isn't too tricky to nail down near-term changes in smartphones and tablets. Faster processors, faster wireless, higher resolution displays, bigger batteries, updated software… there is a fairly short list of predictable upgrades. When you start looking at several years down the road, though, the advances get a bit trickier to nail down. We've grown accustomed to Apple's multitouch devices looking mostly the same ever since the first iPhone. But will they look the same five years from now?
The above video bets that they won't. Though it brands itself as a concept video for the iPad 3, this is more like an iPad 7 demo. Some of its features could be here within the next few years, but others would be more at home in a Star Wars prequel than in any actual product we'll see in the next decade.
The software and the back of the device look familiar, but the first difference that you'll notice is the bezel-less, edge-to-edge display. This part could actually happen sooner than later. Recent rumors have Samsung already producing a (nearly) bezel-less smartphone, and one of the many iPhone 5 rumors we've heard has Apple creating an edge-to-edge display. Tablet innovations generally follow soon after smartphone innovations, so we could potentially see these kinds of tablets within the next three or four years.
Another cool feature in this concept video is the use of NFC and magnets to attach two iPads. The two tablets then share the screen real estate, similar to how PCs employ a second monitor — only much better.
After that, though, we get into the silly season. This iPad can apparently create mid-air 3D projections for a football video game. Star Wars-like 3D holograms are a sci-fi favorite, but we're nowhere near producing tech like this. Projections need some kind of surface to reflect off of — at least for now.
That doesn't, however, take away from the brilliance of these videographers. If you want to create something new, the first thing you'll need is imagination. Concept videos like this inspire our collective imaginations, and could actually contribute to some of these features coming to fruition. … just don't hold your breath for that 3D projected game of Madden 2016.

Are you a fan of bobsled, but wish they would get rid of those annoying vehicles, and send multiple participants down the track at a time? Well, have we got a method of suicide for you!
Taking place tonight in beautiful and historic Old Quebec City is the latest installment of the "Red Bull Crashed Ice" competition. Organizers describe it as a combination of "hockey, downhill skiing and bordercross", but I prefer to think of it as "Human NASCAR". I could attempt to describe the subtle majesty of the sport, the thrill that accompanies travelling down a steep track of flawlessly groomed ice at fantastic speeds, the sweet satisfaction of hearing the "oohs" and "aahs" of tens of thousands of spectators made delirious with cold and sample-sized syrupy energy drink...but how about we just watch a video of people crashing?
I know what you're thinking. Yes, there is a women's division.

More rematches ahead.
After Green Bay routed Minnesota 24-10 Saturday night, it set up a trip to San Francisco. The 49ers beat the Packers at Lambeau Field to open the season.
The Packers didn't let 2,000-yard rusher Adrian Peterson run over them again. Indeed, Packers fullback John Kuhn had a bigger impact with two touchdowns.
And the Houston Texans are heading back to New England, where their season began to unravel. A 19-13 win over Cincinnati on Saturday in the wild-card round means the Texans have a date next Sunday in Foxborough. Arian Foster, the catalyst in the victory against the Bengals, isn't fazed by facing the AFC East champions, who routed Houston 42-14 last month.
Houston (13-4) lost three of its last four games to blow home-field advantage in the conference, slipping to third overall.
New England (12-4) is a 9 1/2-point favorite.
``I'm not a big believer in momentum,'' Foster said. ``Every Sunday you have to come out and bring your best or you can get beat on any day.''
Adrian Peterson and the Vikings didn't bring their best to Green Bay. One week after Peterson rushed for 199 yards to lift Minnesota into the playoffs, the 2,000-yard runner was held to 99. And Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder was sidelined by an elbow injury; backup Joe Webb couldn't manufacture much offense.
On Sunday, the Beltway will be buzzing. First, AFC North champion Baltimore hosts Indianapolis. Then NFC East winner Washington plays Seattle.
While Houston heads to Foxborough next weekend, AFC West winner Denver (13-3) will host either Baltimore or Indianapolis next Saturday. NFC South champ Atlanta (13-3) gets either the Redskins or Seahawks next Sunday.
Packers 24, Vikings 10
Ten receivers caught passes from Aaron Rodgers, tying a playoff record, with Kuhn scoring on a 9-yarder. DeJuan Harris also had a 9-yard TD run, and Green Bay kept Peterson in check. It was a turnaround from what the star running back did in his last trip to Lambeau, when he rushed for 210 yards.
It was Rodgers' first home playoff victory.
Minnesota's late touchdown was a 50-yard pass to Michael Jenkins.
Next, the Packers get the Niners (11-4-1), who won 30-22 at Lambeau to start the season. San Francisco is a 3-point favorite.
``They're different as well,'' Rodgers said. ``They're a great defense. Very talented offense as well. It's going to be a very tough challenge for us.''
Texans 19, Bengals 13
Foster gained 140 yards, becoming the first player with at least 100 yards rushing in his first three postseason games. He scored on a 1-yard run and also had eight receptions.
``It only takes one week to turn things around in the NFL and we did that,'' said Foster, whose team lost to Minnesota and Indianapolis to slip to the AFC's third seed.
Cincinnati (10-7) gained only 198 yards and had 12 first downs. Its touchdown came on Leon Hall's interception return.
``It's hard to put it into words,'' Hall said. ``It's disappointing. I mean, we had a good year, but it didn't end how we wanted it to and how we planned it to. At the end of the day, they made the plays that won the game for them.''
With a second straight wild-card loss in Houston, the Bengals extended one of the NFL's longest playoff droughts. They haven't won a postseason game since the 1990 season.
They got two field goals from Josh Brown, and Andy Dalton overthrew an open A.J. Green in the end zone late in the fourth quarter.
Along with Foster's touchdown, the Texans got four field goals from Shayne Graham.
Colts (11-5) at Ravens (10-6)
From Ray Lewis' pending retirement to Chuck Pagano's return to Baltimore to the history of these two franchises, this game has all kinds of intriguing story lines.
Lewis announced this week he will end his 17-year career as one of the NFL's premier players, let alone linebackers, after the playoffs. He's hoping for a long run duplicating the 2000 season, when he was Defensive Player of the Year and Super Bowl MVP.
``That moment I walk out of that tunnel Sunday, every person that was a Ravens fan - 1996 to this day - we will all enjoy that moment,'' he said. ``It will probably be one of the glorious moments in my life.''
Pagano spent four seasons coaching defense in Baltimore, then landed the head coaching job in Indy. He missed 12 games while undergoing treatments for leukemia and came back last week in a win over Houston.
Now he's back in Baltimore.
And he knows all about the history of the Colts leaving for Indianapolis in Mayflower moving vans in the middle of the night in 1984.
``Yeah, because when this opportunity presented itself, I remember seeing the paper when I left town,'' Pagano joked. ``I was driving a Mayflower out of town, so I fully understand. They had me in the cab, if I remember right.''
Seahawks (11-5) at Redskins (10-6)
Two streaking teams with sensational rookie quarterbacks, making it three such starters in action Sunday; Andrew Luck leads the Colts.
Washington took its final seven games to grab its division title. QB Robert Griffin III (102.4) had the best single-season rookie passer rating in NFL history; Seattle's Russell Wilson was next at 100.0. Griffin also set a league mark for yards rushing by a rookie QB (815).
Wilson threw 26 TD passes, tying Peyton Manning's NFL rookie record set in 1998.
``He's a playmaker. He's a football player. He makes plays running around, like a video game, buying time for the receivers, taking off with the football himself,'' Redskins veteran linebacker London Fletcher said.
He was talking about Wilson; could have been about Griffin, as well.

Born: May 8, 1924, Bielsko, Poland
Gerda was born to a Jewish middle-class family in Bielsko, Poland, a town noted for its textile industry. She began her education in Polish public school, but later entered a Catholic girls school. A rabbi was permitted to come into the school and instruct the Jewish students in religious studies.
1933-39: On Friday, September 1, 1939, German fighter planes appeared overhead, causing many people to flee the city. My family remained and lived through the intense shelling that followed on Sunday evening. In the morning we heard a tremendous roar. Two German soldiers raced up the street on a motorcycle. We heard people shouting "Heil Hitler" and a black, white and red swastika flag suddenly fluttered from a window across the street.
1940-45: After being moved to Bielsko's ghetto, I was deported in 1942 to work in a textile mill in Bolkenhain, Silesia. Despite the hunger and backbreaking labor, there was caring among the inmates. A German supervisor, Mrs. Kugler, even saved my life. I'd fallen ill and gone to the camp hospital. Mrs. Kugler knew that an SS man was inspecting and that the sick would be gassed. She dragged me back to the factory, started my loom and set me in front of it. I was delirious from fever, but I passed the inspection.
Gerda was later sent to slave-labor camps in Marzdorf, Landshut, and Gruenberg. She was liberated by the American army in May 1945, and emigrated to the United States in 1946.

5B4 Best Books of 2007
OK…the end of 2007 is nigh and although there are still two healthy weeks left I have decided to put out my 'Best Of" list now instead of spending my New Year's Eve huddled over a keyboard since I'd rather be drink in hand trying to make that Terry Richardson clown puzzle sign Ole' Lang Syne. (Maybe that's an image best put out of your mind ASAP.)
So here are my favorites in an attempted order with five Honorable Mentions. Now mind you I haven't seen ALL of the books that were published in 2007 so I'm sure I'm missing a few gems. Regardless, all of these titles made me think about photography in new ways even if some held firm to convention.
Favorite Books of 2007
1. Shimmer of Possibility by Paul Graham (Steidl)
2. Scrapbook by Henri Cartier-Bresson (Steidl)
A great study of Bresson. Perfect package.
3. The Park by Kohei Yoshiyuki (Hatje Cantz)
4. On the Beach by Richard Misrach (Aperture)
5. Putting Back the Wall by John Gossage (Loosestrife Editions)
Haven't written about this one yet but it is a must see.
6. United States 1970-1976 by Jacob Holdt (Steidl)
7. Suzi Et Cetera by Boris Mikhailov (Walther Konig)
8. LA Waiting, Sitting...by Anthony Hernandez (Loosestrife Editions)
9. Some Afrikaners Revisited by David Goldblatt (Umuzi)
10. Passing Through
Honorable Mentions
1. Hackney Flowers by Stephen Gill (Nobody)
The first time I was provoked to buy one of Stephen's books. I will feature this one at some point. Lightyears better than the more desired and over-hyped Hackney Wick.
2. Me and My Brother by Robert Frank (Steidl)
3. An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar by Taryn Simon (Steidl)
Intriguing book that challenges my usual suspicion of text and image. Elegant design and presentation.
4. This Is War! by Robert Capa (ICP/Steidl)
5. My
Never featured this but I pick it up frequently and I am always surprised at how much I enjoy it.
Favorite Discoveries of 2007
This is a list of my favorite discoveries of the year. 'Favorite Discoveries' are books by artists I either didn't know about or artists whose work I knew but did not expect I would enjoy as much as I have. Not all of the following titles were released in 2007 but that's when I discovered them and this is my list so I make the rules.
1. Interregna by John Pilson (Hatje Cantz)
2. Photoworks 1982-2006 by Joachim Schmid (Steidl)
3. Memory of Pablo Escobar by James Mollison (Chris Boot Ltd)
4. The American War by Harrell Fletcher (J&L Books)
5. Zwischenzeit by Roland Schneider (Der Alltag)
6. The Day to Day Life of Albert Hastings by Kaylynn Deveney (
7. On Duty by
8. I Am A Real Photographer by Keith Arnett (Chris Boot Ltd)

12. Pornografie by Klaus Staeck (Steidl)
14. Tempo Tempo by Marianne Brandt (Jovis)
15. Miroslav Tichy (
Best Historical Books of 2007
The following are five of my favorite historical collections from the year.
1. Foto: Modernity in Eastern Europe (
Great catalog that set me on the trail of another dozen artists I didn't know existed. I will probably feature this early next year. Very handsome volume with hundreds of illustrations.
2. Books of Nudes (Abrams)
3. Art and the American Snapshot (NGA/PUP)
4. Dreaming in Black and White (PMA/Yale)
5. Dada (DAP)
This one is an oldie from 2005 but I bought it this year and I love it so much I am slipping it in to this list. Fine reproductions and well written texts all contained in this great catalog from the exhibition. A must have study of one of the most creative and influential time periods and movements.
I punished my bank account and shelves this year with well over 100 new additions/editions to the 5B4
Happy Holidays…Mr. Whiskets and Jeff

Billy's Sub Shop
Billy's Sub Shop. The simple name brings to mind your typical sandwich deli, but trust us, it's so much more than that.Tucked away in Boston's South End is Billy's Sub Shop, a cute little eatery offering up some of the tastiest breakfast and lunches in the city. Almost 30 years ago, Taso Kalaitzidis and his family, who come from Greece, took over the small shop. While he kept the original name, he modified the menu to incorporate ingredients and flavors from home. Today, Billy's Sub Shop offers up a wide variety of menu options sure to satisfy almost any craving.
Breakfast ranges from traditional egg plates, breakfast sandwiches, and omelets, to French toast and pancakes. For lunch hungry diner can get one of the best selling subs, or more Greek-inspired dishes, like falafel wraps, the fresh Greek salad (a favorite among regulars) or the chicken kabob plate. In addition, Billy's also offers up two different daily specials, including a full turkey dinner (for lunch) with all the fixin's. No matter what you order, though, you can be assured of this: the food at Billy's is always made to order with fresh ingredients. Try saying that about the typical Extra Value Meal lunch. You can't!
Menu Highlights:
Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich, $3.50
Falafel Wrap, $6.50
Chicken Kabob Plate, $9.95
Monday - Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sunday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Nathan Fillion Gossip
Nathan Fillion gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Castle & Beckett are not together
Relax, shippers! I mean the actors… It's not just TwiHards who get all TwiHardy about their favourite couple. Castle fans are some of the most intense television watchers out there. And they waited four seasons for their characters to finally kiss in the finale last month. How was it for you? Here's your man Nathan Fillion in Monaco today at the Monte Carlo TV and Film Festival. Full Story
Happy Thanksgiving with a Canadian
It's Thanksgiving in America tomorrow and, as Sarah told me, the start of a four day weekend. Before you all go off and enjoy your football, turkey, and Black Friday, here's Nathan Fillion on Good Morning America on Monday. Get a lot of requests for Nathan (hi Mary!) but photographers are always too preoccupied with housewives and Pippa Middleton. Full Story
Just the photos
I'm asked to keep a lookout all the time for new Nathan Fillion photos. So here he is yesterday on the set of Castle, with fellow Canadian co-star Stana Katic, getting his makeup done, preparing to shoot new scenes. Don't be mad, I don't watch the show. But I hear it's good. He's good. Full Story
Gift giving: Nathan Fillion
I receive a lot of requests for Nathan Fillion. And because he's not a cover boy, he's very rarely papped. It was a nice surprise then to see these shots of him, taken the other night, as he and his girlfriend were leaving dinner. Erm. I'm not sure if I'm down with her outfit. Full Story
Casting Roulette: Superman edition
Written by Sarah Yesterday it was announced that Zack Snyder (300, Legend of the Helmet-Wearing Owls and the upcoming Sucker Punch) will direct the Superman reboot that Christopher Nolan is producing for Legendary Films/Warner Brothers, with the working title The Man of Steel. Full Story
Keri Russell: Pregnancy Glow at Sundance
Again, was never a huge fan of Felicity, therefore rather indifferent, but having met her yesterday, I now understand why her supporters are so loyal. Keri is a doll. First the girly details – the big plus is that she doesn't, like so many of her peers, lie about her height. She is listed at 5 ft 4 and she is indeed 5 ft 4. Full Story

Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible
As the title says, I am curious about a certain accessory for the 97' Chevrolet Cavalier Convertible LS. This accessory being a One Piece Top Boot? I believe that's what it's called. I've looked around online, from site to site to even Ebay and all I see are either One Piece Top Boot's for other kinds of Vehicles or none at all. So if anyone could help me, that would be wonderful. I just got it as a 21st birthday present and I was curious as to where I Could get a One Piece Top Boot. I know little about Cars, my father is the one that set me up with it and said that a 'Black One Piece Top Boot' is what I need for it. To cover it up for when I have the roof down.
Any links of sites that are selling them or perhaps anyone that knows any stores that would sell them would also help. Just seems hard to find them.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I just saw this forum and figured I'd at least give it a shot at posting.

pat Posts: 10,421Maybe it's three pieces? In Full Test: 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Convertible the Edmunds editor mentions a three-piece boot that sounds like it does what you want.
That article isn't going to help you find it, but if it really is three pieces you can probably create better searches for it.
Good luck!0
As I'm guessing you've found out by now since your post was in July, its actually a 3 piece boot. There's a soft vinyl center piece that should be attached to the back of the rear seat (pull it down to find it). The two plastic side pieces covered in vinly to match the center piece go on first, insert the forward plastic tongue of the side piece into the holes near the rear windows and snapping the vinly flap into place on the side panels in the rear seat compartment, then loop the elastic strap over the pins on the rear lip of the top compartment (need the trunk open). Then the center piece is pulled over the the two side pieces secured over the pins on the rear lip using the snap/buttons on the corners of the center piece. Shut the trunk, put the rear seat back up and you're ready to go. The whole opperation takes about 3 minutes but keeps a lot of dust and dirt from collecting in the headliner of the top. I'm on my second 96 convertible as my first was totalled (ran like a top with over 200K miles before its untimely demise). Good luck,enjoy.0
Has anyone (any amature) successfully installed a new converitible top on their cavalier (96 or later)? What resources (books, manuals, websites) did you use and how difficult a process was it. Also, where did you purchase your new top? What are the best places to look. I need to completely replace the top including the rear window as well as the headliner.
woobegone Posts: 18Yes! Just last October my son, nephews and I installed a new vinyl top with glass rear window on my son's 1996 Pontiac Sunfire (exact same top as Cavalier). None of us had ever done it before, so we were slow and cautious but still did it in about 8 hours. I had my doubts about messing around with a $438 top but it turned out great! Saved him a lot of money (about $400 to $500) in installation costs. After much research, he bought it from ConvertibleTopGuys on the web. They delivered everything that was promised and quickly. Make sure to read the instruction manual BEFORE you start pulling the old top off (as it says in the manual) so you're comfortable that you can do it. I recommend having at least one other person to help -- we were four and it worked pretty well. I recommend the whole package, including the tack strips, cables and pads, as it's well worth the money. His Sunfire looks great now! BTW, I have a 2000 Z24 convertible and it's a great car, despite all the naysayers. It's had some mechanical issues but nothing out of the ordinary for 90,000+ miles. And I regularly get 29 to 30 MPG, which beats most other convertibles that can hold more than two bodies. Good luck!0
chris_friday Posts: 1Hi there. I owned a 96 Pontiac Sunfire Convertible SE (basically the same car as yours) and still have the convertible boot. The boot is two pieces...one for each side. It looks nice on the car when the top is down. Let me know if you are interested in this. Thanks. Chris0
buddy76 Posts: 1My 98 Cavalier has a staling problem when you come to a slow stop, This does not happen all the time. I have replaced the fuel filter for starters. No Help. Does anyone have a similar problem that was resolved and can point me in the right direction. I don't want to start changing parts and dumping money into the car0
ronniedude Posts: 1I am interested in the boot , I have a 96 sunfire and need the whole boot. Please contact me0
na139 Posts: 1Can anybody assist me in finding production numbers for an 85 cav contver? I have one that is loaded and am interested in how many like it were made that year.
roboshop Posts: 1We bought this car in 1995 and love it! :shades: Just had the roof replaced after 14 years (the back glass window was falling out).Has only 120,000 kms. My problem is that recently the roof won't go up/down and the air conditioning/heater won't work. :confuse: Anyone help with this??Thanks0
apcav Posts: 3I recently replaced the alternator on my 2000 z24 and now can't get the belt back on. I have replaced the tensioner also thinking that might be the problem. Still can't get the belt on. All routing diagrams I find online say releace the tensioner by turning in clockwise direction. Mine (old and new) will only turn in the counter clokwise direction. When I put the belt on in the only way I can see possible and have the tensioner released as far as it will go the belt is too short to go on. Has anyone reading this forum ever run into this problem and know a solution?
Thank you0
jmcfadden Posts: 1I have a 1997 cavalier convertible. The top suddenly no longer goes all the way up. It stops half way up and will not go any further. Any suggestions?0

Looking for a way to increase the love and romance in your marriage? Do you need time just for the two of you?
A Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend Experience may be the answer!
Instead of simply listening to lectures about how to improve your marriage, you will actually learn a practical
communication technique and have an opportunity to rediscover your hopes and dreams for your marriage.
Your marriage is your most important relationship! NOW is a good time to invest time in your healthy, happy relationship, and reconnect with your spouse. Renew the commitment, intimacy and passion in your marriage.
Weekends are for Catholic priests and religious too!
Your commitment to serve your people is similar to the commitment of a husband and wife in marriage. Weekend tools can help you see your ministry in a whole new light and connect more meaningfully with those you serve.
Don't wait! Don't put it off! We should have made a weekend 20 years ago, and we would have saved so much time and energy. We talk now, REALLY talk, and listen to each other like never before. We would recommend the weekend for every married couple!
We have never been able to fight in a positive way. But we learned about win-win fighting for our relationship on the Marriage Encounter Weekend, and this was just the beginning of our new lease on our marriage. We know now that we can "dialogue" every day to prevent a lot of those fights, but even better we know we love each other even when we disagree.
My husband and I belong to different churches, and this has caused tension between us sometimes. We found out on our weekend that God is in our marriage no matter what and we can work out our differences with respect and love. I feel so relieved that this issue doesn't pull us apart any longer.
Our lives are full of hectic schedules, kids, work, kids! It seems we never had a chance to really talk let alone romance each other before our weekend. Now we have a tool to use to keep US on the front burner. Thank goodness we made a weekend—we are more alive and in love than we could ever have imagined.
The 10th annual Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME) Longest Married Couple Project will begin accepting nominations starting this Valentine's Day, Feb. 14th 2020!Read More...

A 17-year-old from Worcester is accused of stabbing two people at a Southboro party over the weekend.
James E. McCarthy of 16 Birmingham Road, Worcester, is charged with mayhem and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. At his arraignment today, Judge Vito Virzi ordered the teen to stay away from the two alleged victims and the site of the incident. He also was ordered to remain drug- and alcohol-free and submit to random drug screens. The case was continued to Dec. 21.
The suspect is the son of William J. McCarthy, who is a candidate for the seat currently held by state Rep. James J. O'Day, D-Worcester, and president of the Worcester County Republican Club.
"This is a family matter, and my son is not part of the campaign," Mr. McCarthy said. "There is an ongoing investigation. If everyone could please respect our privacy, and we're hoping for the continued recovery of everyone involved."
According to police, the teenager was at a party Friday night at 34 Constitution Drive in Southboro, where he pushed the female host and was told to leave. The alleged stabbings occurred when Mr. McCarthy tried to re-enter.
When police arrived shortly after midnight, Mr. McCarthy told them he had been stabbed and robbed by two men. Police said Mr. McCarthy did not have any stab wounds and later admitted that he owned the knife that officers found near the scene.
Police found two men, Samuel Dwiggins and Paul Ferguson, who had injuries consistent with being cut with a knife. The two men told police that after Mr. McCarthy was put out of the party, they refused to let him back in when he tried to retrieve his alcohol, which was still in the house.
"At this point, (Mr. McCarthy) takes out a knife and begins swinging the knife at (the two men), cutting them in several places," police wrote in their report.
An Ashland police officer arrived with Gregory Polechronis, a friend of Mr. McCarthy's, who told police it was Mr. McCarthy who started the fight and stabbed the two men. The wounds were not life-threatening. The two men were taken to MetroWest Hospital in Framingham, where they were treated and released.
The suspect's mother, Deborah McCarthy, declined to comment when reached by phone at the family's home this afternoon. The elder Mr. McCarthy, 47, is a former Connecticut state trooper and is head of the criminal justice program at Quinsigamond Community College in Worcester. He has previously run for Worcester County sheriff and Worcester city councilor.

CVE Author: NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
In phpMyAdmin 4.x before 4.9.5 and 5.x before 5.0.2, a SQL injection vulnerability was found in retrieval of the current username (in libraries/classes/Server/Privileges.php and libraries/classes/UserPassword.php). A malicious user with access to the server could create a crafted username, and then trick the victim into performing specific actions with that user account (such as editing its privileges).Exploitability Analysis:
This is a vulnerability exploitable with network access which means the vulnerable software is bound to the network stack and the attacker does not require local network access or local access to exploit it. Such a vulnerability is often termed "remotely exploitable".Exploitability Complexity:
The access conditions are somewhat specialized; the following are examples: The attacking party is limited to a group of systems or users at some level of authorization, possibly untrusted. Some information must be gathered before a successful attack can be launched. The affected configuration is non-default, and is not commonly configured (e.g., a vulnerability present when a server performs user account authentication via a specific scheme, but not present for another authentication scheme). The attack requires a small amount of social engineering that might occasionally fool cautious users (e.g., phishing attacks that modify a web browser's status bar to show a false link, having to be on someone's "buddy" list before sending an IM exploit).Authentication:
One instance of authentication is required to access and exploit the vulnerability.Confidentiality Impact:
There is considerable informational disclosure. Access to some system files is possible, but the attacker does not have control over what is obtained, or the scope of the loss is constrained. An example is a vulnerability that divulges only certain tables in a database.Integrity Impact:
Modification of some system files or information is possible, but the attacker does not have control over what can be modified, or the scope of what the attacker can affect is limited. For example, system or application files may be overwritten or modified, but either the attacker has no control over which files are affected or the attacker can modify files within only a limited context or scope.Availability Impact:
There is reduced performance or interruptions in resource availability. An example is a network-based flood attack that permits a limited number of successful connections to an Internet service.NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) NVD (National Vulnerability Database)

IBM Watson - Helping Doctors Reduce Costs, Manage Risk and Improve Healthcare Outcomes
Visits (10315)
Happy [Valentine's Day] everyone! Love is in the air! There was plenty of evidence of this everywhere I looked:
Sadly, only 70 percent of doctors in the United States use Electronic Medical Record [EMR] systems. My own Primary Care Physician has made the switch, and told me he how much he loves having ready access to the information he needs. EMR systems reduce costs, help manage risk, and improve healthcare outcomes. It is no surprise that the U.S. government has taken a [stick-and-carrot approach] to encourage doctors to use them.
Two years ago this week, [IBM Watson won the Grand Challenge] on the popular Jeopardy! game show. I wrote [a series of blog posts on IBM Watson]. To-date, there have been over 90,000 downloads for my now infamous step-by-step instructions on [How to build your own "Watson Jr." in your basement]!
A frequent topic at the Tucson Executive Briefing Center where I work is how to make the most use of IT for healthcare and life sciences. For much of 2011 and 2012, I was also one of the technical advocates assigned to Wellpoint Insurance, in support of their adoption of IBM Watson technology for healthcare.
Consider [Oncology], the branch of medicine focused on cancer. IBM has just released a new 8-minute YouTube video [IBM Watson Demo: Oncology Diagnosis and Treatment] that shows how IBM Watson is being put to use at [Memorial Sloan-Kettering], a world-class cancer treatment facility.
This is just one of the many [IBM Smarter Healthcare solutions] that is helping to build a smarter planet!

The people of China need to stand up and pay attention not only to the censorship that is rampant in the country, but also to the danger of addiction (to the point of not eating or drinking) to video games. It is not safe to test your limits while maximizing your character in an online universe. One must remember that the real game is real life, and video games are just an escape (albeit short and fun-filled) from the reality.
An unidentified 30 year old Chinese man slipped into a coma, and died in a clinic later, after playing a video game in an internet café non-stop for three days. The man had not slept for the three days, and had consumed very little sustenance. The café, in the capital city of Beijing, also said that in his last month, the man had spent more than 10,000 yuan ($1,500) on massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs).
While this kind of behavior can be attributed to players who are completely at the mercy of the virtual world, it seems that this man had some unresolved issues with his life due to which he turned to video gaming. The indifference to life in general and a sudden, unhealthy addiction to something points to depression or other psychological problems.
Nevertheless, internet café providers need to meter the usage of patrons. The casual ignorance of the managers of the parlor is partly to blame; just because the man had the money does not mean the providers ignore his health.

Twitter Founder: Can't Compete in China
More In Twitter
- Tech Diplomacy? Taiwan's President Tours Twitter
- Twitter Goes on Defensive About China Head's Background
- How the Taiwan Earthquake Unfolded on Social Media
- Weibo, Beating Twitter to the Punch, Lengthens its 140-Character Limit
- Hong Kong Protests in Tweets: Tensions Flare
- Hong Kong Protests: How They Unfolded on Twitter
Say what you want about whether Twitter can compete in China. Jack Dorsey, creator of the microblogging service, suggests that you can't make a call on a contender unless you give it a fighting chance.
"The unfortunate fact is, we're just not allowed to compete in this market, and that's not up to us to change," he said Thursday in Hong Kong at AsiaD, a conference hosted by All Things Digital, an online publishing partner of The Wall Street Journal.
Twitter is blocked in China, which has more Internet users than any other nation, and in its place a number of Chinese microblogging services, namely Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo, have sprung up and caught fire in its place.
The Chinese services have long been packed with features that Twitter didn't have initially, leading many users of both platforms and analysts to believe that the homegrown services better serve the Chinese market anyway. But Mr. Dorsey said he believes there are many Chinese users who are hungry to use his global platform.
"At the end of the day, we just can't compete. [Weibo] can compete in our markets, and we're certainly interested in what that means for us. I've looked at Weibo and it looks fascinating the way that people are using it," he said. "We would love to have a strong Twitter in China, but we need to be allowed to do that."
Mr. Dorsey said the change would be up to trade experts in both the U.S. and Chinese governments.
Mr. Dorsey's comments underscore the appetite among social media companies to connect with China's many users --who are very active but noticeably isolated -- as the rest of the world becomes increasingly connected through global social-neworking platforms. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has also expressed interest in entering the market, but has not yet done so. Facebook is also blocked in China.
Twitter is making headway in other Asian markets, including in the Philippines and India, Mr. Dorsey said. In Japan, he said, Twitter executives noticed that the service wasn't just popular among people, but among virtual pets, causing a flurry of activity in Japanese from Tamagotchi toys interacting with their owners via Twitter.
But in Hong Kong, a Chinese-language market that is not censored by the government and where Twitter can be accessed freely, many users still choose Chinese microblogging services in order to follow Chinese celebrities.
"We have a lot to learn here in Hong Kong and here in Asia," Mr. Dorsey said. "We want to build a service that people can communicate freely on, no matter where they are in the world, no matter what they're doing with their lives" and which can be used to communicate with the "entire world and the entire world can engage with them...that's the most important thing for us to uphold and the most important thing for us to defend."

Facebook tops Google searches for UK in 2013
Google has revealed that Facebook topped its list of the most searched-for terms of 2013 in the UK.
The social networking site beat the search company's own YouTube video service to the top spot. Google itself made it in to third place.
Shopping sites proved popular with web users with eBay, Amazon and Argos all making an appearance in the top 10.
Aside from spending and sharing, news proved popular with BBC News and the Daily Mail featuring high on the list.
Google also examined what questions people typed in to its search engine and from this compiled a top "what is" list. Facebook topped this too with a substantial number of UK-based searchers wanting to know what the social networking site was.
The second question was more a more heartfelt, "What is love?"
Other popular "what is" topics included searches for cancer, energy and blood pressure. Perhaps reflecting economic news throughout the year "What is the minimum wage" and "What is Universal Jobmatch" made it in to the top 10 most-asked. Universal Jobmatch is a government-run jobs-listing site.
Explaining Facebook's position at the top of the most searched and "what is" lists, Chris Green - an analyst at the Davies Murphy Group consultancy - said: "Facebook has now firmly established itself as a hub on the internet, making it a destination for surfers to do multiple tasks such as communications, gaming, shopping, photo-sharing and information gathering.
"These are tasks that would have previously involved using a search engine to source multiple sites."
The "most searched-for" terms are based on the number of times the relevant words are typed into Google's search engine.
Mr Green added that Google's own appearance near the top of its list could be explained by the fact that Chrome and other internet browsers can be set to automatically use the search engine when a phrase - rather than a full web address - is typed into their top bars.
"Chrome makes no distinction between web addresses and words in its search box so people get lazy and just type in single words like Google rather than full web addresses," he said.
"But this registers as a search."
Man of Steel
Google also unveiled its "top trending" search terms for the UK in 2013. These are the entries that have seen the largest increase in traffic compared with 2012.
Many of the entries on the list reflected major news events of the past 12 months.
The death of the Fast and the Furious film star Paul Walker was at the top of the list.
Both Nelson Mandela and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who died this year also feature in the top 10.
The birth of Prince George in July came in at number four on the UK list.
"Celebrities always get a lot of interest and the passing of well-known figures makes people want to learn more about them," said Google's Claudine Beaumont.
"Despite that, some of the more traditional aspects of British life, from the Grand National to the royal birth, have generated many Google searches and will be remembered as events that have characterised the year."
New product launches helped the iPhone 5S and Microsoft's Xbox One become the biggest tech trending search terms.
The worldwide "top trending" list saw Nelson Mandela in top spot, and also saw the Boston Marathon and North Korea in the top 10.
There was a battle of the superheroes in top 10 most searched-for movies. Man of Steel beat Iron Man 3 in to top place. A small triumph for Superman who had lost out at the box office to his metal-clad rival.
Oscar winners Django Unchained and Zero Dark Thirty also featured. Only one animated film made the list, Despicable Me 2, but it was one of three sequels that were searched for including The Hangover 3.

MEDINAH – Keegan Bradley made Friday at the Ryder Cup feel like the best day of his life, and it wasn't too shabby for the rest of the Americans.
Bradley led a strong performance by rookies on both teams at Medinah by teaming with Phil Mickelson for two wins against Europe's best two partnerships. Even with Tiger Woods getting shutout on opening day for the fourth time, the United States took a big step toward regaining the cup by taking a 5-3 lead.
Leading the way was Bradley, the former PGA champion whom Mickelson took under his wing last year for a series of money games at the majors to prepare the New England kid for moments like this. And did he ever deliver.
"This is literally what I've dreamt about since I was a little kid," Bradley said. "I got to do it next to my idol all day."
Bradley holed a 25-foot birdie putt in morning foursomes to hand Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia their first loss ever in Ryder Cup foursomes. Next up were Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell, and the Americans won the first three holes. Mickelson wasn't there only for support. Right when Europe was trying to rally, the four-time major champion closed it out with a 7-iron to 2 feet that was conceded for birdie.
It was a day Bradley didn't want to end.
"Oh, baby, I wish we could go 36 more," Bradley said.
He wasn't the only rookie to shine on a mild day in Medinah. Nicolas Colsaerts, the 29-year-old from Belgium, helped Europe avoid getting shutout in afternoon fourballs by single-handedly taking down Woods and Steve Stricker.
Colsaerts made eight birdies and an eagle – a 10-under-par 62 if he was keeping score on his own. He teamed with Lee Westwood, who was just along for this amazing ride for a 1-up victory that ended 11 hours of enormous cheers and plenty of American red on the leaderboard.
"I don't think there has ever been a better debut than that," Westwood said.
Woods and Stricker also lost to Ian Poulter and Justin Rose in morning foursomes, making this the fourth time in the seven Ryder Cups that Woods has played that he lost both matches on the opening day.
There was nothing Woods could do against Colsaerts, the biggest hitter in Europe who isn't too bad with the putter, either.
"Nicolas probably had one of the greatest putting rounds I've ever seen," Woods said, high praise coming from a 14-time major champion.
Woods turned in a mixed performance. He missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the 15th to fall 2 down, and then came back with a bending, 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th and a shot into 4 feet on the 17th that looked as if it might square the match. Instead, Colsaerts rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt for a halve. Woods had a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th to halve the match, only it caught the left lip.
"We ran into a guy who made everything today," Woods said. "I don't know what he shot. He was like 7 under through 10. I quit counting after that."
Both captains made sure all 12 of their players got into the game early, though European captain Jose Maria Olazabal set himself up for second-guessing when he sat out Donald, Garcia and Poulter for the afternoon matches. They have a combined 31-13-5 record in the Ryder Cup.
Mickelson set an American record by playing in his ninth Ryder Cup, and he won his opening two matches for the first time in his career.
Mickelson came up with some big putts and amazing shots, and the 42-year-old felt about 10 years younger playing alongside Bradley.
"It could be the best day of my life," Bradley said.
Europe has won six of the last eight times in the Ryder Cup, and it wasn't about to hang its head after one day. It was leading all four of the opening matches early Friday under a gloomy sky. The sun came out, and the Americans came to life.
"There's a long way to go in this tournament," Rose said. "There's ebbs and flows. Obviously, there's momentum for the U.S. team right now, but that could all swing back in our favor tomorrow."
Even so, the Americans headed to their team room full of confidence. It won five of eight matches without getting a point from Woods, and they picked up a little extra momentum when Mickelson and Bradley took down McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world.
The Ryder Cup again lived up to its billing as the most exciting tournament in golf with relentless action, huge swings in momentum and endless cheers.
Bubba Watson asked the crowd to keep chanting and cheering when he stepped to the tee for his afternoon fourballs with Webb Simpson, and the Masters champion belted his drive down the middle, raising his driver to play to the crowd. Then, the Americans did a number of Paul Lawrie and Peter Hanson, going 6 up through eight holes and closing them out on the 14th hole.
Matt Kuchar ran off four straight birdies as he and Dustin Johnson built an early lead against Rose and Martin Kaymer.
The only rookie who didn't deliver a point was FedEx Cup champion Brandt Snedeker, though it wasn't from a lack of effort. Snedeker and Furyk were 3 down through 12 holes against McIlroy and McDowell in the morning when they put together a furious rally, with Furyk carrying the bulk of the load. They squared the match going to the 18th when Snedeker hit a drive toward the hospitality tents well right of the fairway, and Furyk couldn't convert a 20-foot par putt to halve the match.
But it was a sign of the American fight.
Bradley turned into a rock star at Medinah, especially on the par-3 13th, perhaps the toughest tee shot because it was long and into the wind, requiring a hybrid. He hit it to 15 feet left of the flag, and as the crowd chanted, "USA! USA!" Bradley nodded at them repeatedly.
Mickelson, who first played in these matches in 1995, smiled and gently patted him on the back to let him soak up the moment. Lefty then holed the birdie putt for a 2-up lead, and Garcia missed a 3 1/2-foot par putt on the next hole. It was the Spaniard's first loss in 10 foursomes matches dating to 1999.
Bradley was so into the moment that his focus was broken walking up the 15th hole when he spotted fans holding a large American flag on the left side of the gallery. He jogged over to them for high-fives, waited for Mickelson to play a wedge into the green, and then holed the 25-foot birdie putt.
His caddie, Steve Hale, swung the flagstick around like a baseball bat until Mickelson's caddie reminded him to put it in the hole for Donald to play a bunker shot.
"There's a simple reason why Keegan is perfect for the Ryder Cup," Mickelson said. "The more pressure the situation, the better he plays, the better he sees the shot, the better he focuses. And the better the result. As a player, you feel more pressure and intensity during these matches than you do at any other event.
"And that's when he's at his best."
Jason Dufner, another American rookie, actually showed some emotion with a tiny fist pump when his 15-foot birdie putt on the ninth stopped next to the cup, then dropped in the left side. Dufner made birdie on the next hole for a foursomes win with Zach Johnson over Westwood and Francesco Molinari.
Poulter holed a bunker shot, a long birdie putt and a clutch par putt from 7 feet on the 16th hole that carried he and Rose to victory over Woods and Stricker. Poulter has lost only three times in 12 matches in his Ryder Cup career. Two of those had been to Woods.
"I never wanted to have another one," Poulter said.
Next up is another long day of foursomes and fourballs, a chance for Europe to get back in the game going into the Sunday singles.
Love could not have asked for a better start, particularly from his rookies — and especially from Bradley.
"I felt young," Mickelson said. "And it felt great."
