Saturn VUE AC and Heat Problems
acproblem Posts: 1I own a 2008 Saturn Vue <59,000 miles and AC is going out. I have owned cars much older with higher miles and never had this much trouble. Would be interested in joing class action lawsuit if one is started. I live in Houston Texas with 100+ temps. Not a good time for air to be out!0

rlycos Posts: 1I have only 63000 miles on my VUE Hybrid and the A/C compressor clutch came apart. It cost $1000 to repair. When I called GM for assistance I was told that it's out of the 36000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. WOW there seems to be a lot of us with the same problem and the only thing GM can say is its out of warranty.0
carpop Posts: 1Count me in on a lawsuit too. My 2006 Vue does not work at low RPM. Has to be above 30+mph to blow cold. Way too many complaints for this issue and GM KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. Unfortunately, it seems, no one can tell you exactly what the problem is except to say, $1,000.00 or nore please to fix. Sad that GM does not step up to the plate and take responsibility for a well known problem. GM-----Look back into all these complaints! Notice a common problem here?0
Well, well, well it's good to know I'm not the only one having this issue. I turned my heater on yesterday morning and all it did was blow cold air. It didn't matter what buttons I pushed, the heater would NOT blow hot air and it didn't seem to be blowing as forceful as usual. Today I get in my car and the heater works. WTF Saturn? I've had nothing but problems since I bought this car and honestly this is the first and last American car I will ever purchase. It took me over a year to get a faulty inside door handle replaced. Not to mention my CD player stopped working 6 days after my warranty expired. I'm around 40,433 miles.0
Go to this website (it's a government website) to report these issues. I'm not sure if it's just safety issues or not since it reads like it's for both. Maybe this will make the government force GM to do a recall.
Hi xarah,
I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble with the heat in your Saturn and that this has affected your overall vehicle experience. If there is anything we can do to help with this situation, please let us know.

rich235 Posts: 2I finally took my car in to a garage. They told me the A/C clutch has fallen off. The vehicle has not even done 42,000 miles!! They want $1500 to fix! Count me in for a law suit also....0
That gets us to just over 20 people. We need more customers to get onboard for a class action lawsuit. I'm saving all of the responses.0
two_vue_owner Posts: 1Allow me to join the list!
My wife and I have TWO Saturn Vues a 2004 and 2006.
The 2004 compressor went and now the 2006 is going out as WELL!
We had the 2004 replaced and now works ok (almost $1000).
We are shocked that we may have to have the second (2006) fixed as well?!
Same issues as listed previously. . .
30 MPH and higher ok, but less than 30 MPH blows warm
Low side pressure reads to high (Indication of compressor blow by due to being worn out already?)
With 2 out of 2 Vue's, this is sure a BAD track record!!
We love the Vue's, but HATE the Compressor!0
wals1 Posts: 1count me in on this lawsuit--i just was told that my AC clutch fell off my 2007 saturn vue green line..and the repair will be $940 to replace it. my email is: [email protected]0
jbatton4370 Posts: 1I have a 2006 2wd/4cyl I purchased used. It was kept in pristine condition and serviced since purchased new at a Cadillac dealership, only one owner. The place I purchased It from received it from auction in December, I purchased it Feb 2, 2013. About 2 months ago I noticed the A/C would only blow cold when going over a certain mph, and it was also making a shuttering sound. I took it to the place I purchased it at and they told me that Saturns were known for the shuttering sound. That I could deal with, except now It seems to be getting worse. The A/C, I was told my condenser and compressor were on the way to being complete crap, and the amount of pressure that everything was pushing when the air was on was a crazy amount, and could later lead to more problems. I still have no gotten it fixed since I just don't have the money. Recently it seems that maybe something else has popped up. Sometimes it makes a sound when I go from park to reverse, and sometimes like it doesn't want to go. I contacted GM and I am taking it in tomorrow and will speak to them about it but I also contacted them VIA chat on their website and through email and they say there is no recalls for my car. I find it OUTRAGEOUS that I keep reading the same issues and yet nothing is being done! I live in FL for candy sake and its HOT!!!0
They did a recall for the shuttering sound. It is something in the Tranny. GM will reprogram it for free0
2006 Vue. My AC is out too. Went out around 60K. been living with it for years.0
Do you have any further info on that recall?0

hannonmc Posts: 1Interesting... My wife has a 2007 Saturn Vue Hybrid... Guess what!? She lost a part off of her AC unit too... Sounds familiar... Luckily it was only about $700 to fix... But, sounds like this has happened to a few people...0
saturnvuewoes Posts: 1I have a 2009 Saturn Vue which had problems with the air not getting cold and could not get it to change to distribute the air to the vents. Prior to this I had water leaking into the floorboard of the passenger's side which turned out to be clogged hose. We finally was able to get the air to start getting cold and the control know to blow out the vents. Now, we realize we do not have any heat. You can turn the control knob all the way to the hottest point and it blows freezing cold air. You cannot tell if it is switching from air to heat. We disconnected the battery last night and are leaving it disconnected for 24 hours as someone on here suggested. At this point we are not sure how to recalibrate the hvac control module once we reconnect the battery? Is there a certain tool or computer software we have to use? We don't want to take it to dealer if we can fix it ourselves as it sounds costly. We believe all this started after the battery died and was replaced. Is there a recall or are we just SOL?0
dave_g1 Posts: 1We bought 2 new cars in early 2009, a Saturn Vue and a Honda civic. We have all the work done at 2 GM dealerships for the Vue.. We are now close to $10,000 in service vs. under $1,500 for the civic after 5 yrs... The latest is we took it in for service, about $2k for various issues. We got it back and suddenly the car is fogging up like crazy. We take it back and it's another$1800 for some corroded heating bar that is leaking anti freeze. I am going to try to find all my bills since buying this lemon.. The other big irritant, the inside door handles are plastic and curled so we were cutting our hands trying to open the doors. We have asked numerous times for replacement parts but eventually just taped them with scotch tape.0

thewebsters Posts: 1Last night, my heat when out. The car was only blowing cold air. I changed the settings (defrost, feet only, etc) and it continued to blow cold air out of the front vents no matter what setting I put it on. My husband read the comments about unplugging the battery and he did that but now the air will only blow through the defrost vent and it is still only blowing cold air. It is 27 degrees and of course, like everyone else, I want this problem resolved and the quicker, the better. Any further ideas?0
I had the exact same problem with my handles. The "chrome" was coming off and I would cut my hand constantly. These weren't little scraps but pretty bad cuts. It took me over and year and a half to get someone at GM to finally ok it for me to get it fixed.0

tcabsetx Texas City, TX Posts: 1I purchased my piece of chit 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line in 2009 with about 12,500 miles on it. Talk about a LEMON!! The a/c compressor clutch "hub assembly" is "gone" (where did it go?) which caused me to go the entire Summer of 2013 with no air conditioning in HOUSTON, TEXAS! I've had the battery pack replaced (under previous recall, thank goodness!), the ignition column and switch replaced, each of the front wheel bearings replaced twice..
The car definitely has electrical problems: my heated seats haven't worked in 3 years, it randomly locks/unlocks doors (whenever /wherever it damn well pleases, even while I'm driving it; I've locked the keys in car more than once, etc).
Every time it rains, my front passenger floorboard gets soaking wet.
It is not uncommon for the check engine light to be on, every time I bring it somewhere to diagnose the light, I get a code for he battery pack.
Since last Tuesday (12/31/13), it has been parked in my boyfriend's driveway, refusing to start. We thought it might be the ignition switch, but now, it looks like either the starter which is covered in oil, or the battery pack. I've put some miles on it, yes somewhere around 130,000, but I've had problems with it since 2010.
Please contact me!!0

I have a 2008 Saturn Vue with 50,000 miles. I noticed the a/c was only blowing hot air this past summer. I took it to the GMC dealer. I paid $150 for them to replenished the fluids. The air then worked for 1 month. This winter I have now found that the heat doesn't work either unless I am on the highway. I have been driving my kids around in a car with no heat in -30 degree weather. Is there a recall we have not been informed of?0

I had same problem with inside door handles the literally cut my hand and passengers. Had them replaced at my cost. How cheap can GM get?0

Keeping a watch on the Buffalo River
One of the many duties of our Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality is to issue permits to farmers who maintain livestock and poultry operations. This does not usually attract much attention from the general public. But this year has been different because of the C&H Hog Farm in Newton County. ADEQ issues permits and guidelines instructing farms on the proper disposal of animal waste. This particular operation is near Big Creek, a tributary of the Buffalo River. There is concern, that despite regulatory requirements, waste from the thousands of animals could eventually find its way into the Buffalo.
The Buffalo River is unquestionably a treasure, both for Arkansas and for America. As our country's first national river, it has been a source of Natural State pride for generations. As you can imagine, my office has received numerous calls and e-mails from Arkansans worried about the potential environmental harm the hog farm could have on the Buffalo and its tributaries.
First let me say that, based on previous legal interpretations, neither I nor my ADEQ Director has the legal authority to unilaterally halt a properly permitted farming operation, or to declare an executive moratorium on such farms near certain bodies of water. When concern began to grow about the C&H Hog Farm, I had ADEQ officials review the entire permitting process to ensure that the farm's owner had followed all state requirements and procedures. And he had. The farm has plans in place to manage waste disposal and undergo regular testing and monitoring.
However, while the State may not have the authority to stop the operation of a legally permitted farm, we do have the authority to go above and beyond the required diligence for environmental monitoring. Next month, I will ask the Arkansas Legislative Council to authorize $250,000 to establish additional testing in areas on and near the C&H Hog Farm. Soil-and-water experts from the University of Arkansas will oversee this effort and determine the best areas to place monitoring wells and conduct tests. This will allow us to more thoroughly determine if unsafe levels of waste could reach Big Creek and the Buffalo River, and to take preventive action if that occurs.
This is an extraordinary step that we do not deem necessary with other farms. I chose this action for two reasons. First, we all share the desire to preserve the pristine nature of the Buffalo River. In addition, this hog farm is the first in the State to receive what is called a CAFO or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation permit. The CAFO permit was created two years ago by a change in federal law, and this additional testing will help ensure that there are no unintended consequences that result from that change.
I have said, for years, that in most cases, a balance can be found between operating our businesses and caring for the environment. My hope is that such a balance will be possible in Newton County. I recognize that the stakes are especially high when the Buffalo River is involved, and there may be future legislation proposed to address this specific issue. For the immediate future, I expect that this extra monitoring will put minds at ease and ensure that America's first national river will always be protected and preserved.

Once upon a time, when Catholicism was treated as a foreign, perhaps hostile, intruder in an overwhelmingly Protestant nation, Catholics considered it a point of pride when their bishops and priests lived in houses suitable to the aspirations of their people. A bishop's house had to be the equal of the houses of the politicians who railed against the Catholic foreigners and the businessmen who exploited them.
In the larger historic dioceses, the traditional bishop's residence often reflected this moment in Catholic history, located in what once was the best part of town or on the highest hill.
But as Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Atlanta can testify, times have changed. It was his misfortune to be on the verge of moving into a $2.2 million house in Atlanta's exclusive Buckhead neighborhood. House prices there range from $500,000 to $20 million, so the Archbishop's house was not necessarily ostentatious by local standards. His previous residence had sold for $1.9 million, so it was not much of an upgrade either.
Stories about the lavish digs of a few prelates have come and gone before, but when a German bishop was forced to resign after spending $43 million on his house with Church funds, and after Pope Francis himself chose to live in the Vatican hotel rather than the ornate and historic papal household, $2.2 million raised some eyebrows. The story went viral, embarrassing Catholics and suggesting that the bishops were not following the lead of the pope. It is one more sign of the Francis effect: Pope Francis understands intuitively that this is not the time for ostentation and indulgence, most certainly not by his fellow bishops. In a letter to the cardinals he appointed last February, Francis recommended that they eschew lavish parties celebrating the "promotion," warning them that was not how to mark their new post.
"The cardinalship does not imply promotion," he told them, asking that there not be "any form of celebration contrary to the evangelical spirit of austerity, sobriety and poverty."
Not only is this laudable as a reflection of a Church of the poor that serves the poor, but it also can be understood as an act of penance for the crimes and the failure of leadership that were aspects of the sexual abuse crisis.
But the "austerity, sobriety and poverty" that the pope asked of the cardinals, he also is asking of all of us. And of the easy outrage that has been lobbed at a few episcopal mansions, one can ask if we ourselves are living in glass houses.
Indeed, if the world reacts with wonder because the Holy Father seems to practice what he preaches, how would the world react if we did, too? In "The Joy of the Gospel," the pope extends his challenge to live more simply to the entire Church, and he suggests that even some "who clearly have solid doctrinal and spiritual convictions frequently fall into a lifestyle which leads to an attachment to financial security, or to a desire for power or human glory at all cost, rather than giving their lives to others in mission."
It is good and just that our bishops be held accountable, but when it comes to living simple and austere lives, we hope such virtue will trickle down to the rest of us.
This Easter season should be one of joy and celebration, but also renewal. As we head toward Pentecost, let us pray that we live the Easter call in its entirety: serving others, not thinking of ourselves and going out to the periphery — bishops, priests and laity all.

Peyton Manning flaps his arms, stamps his foot and plays traffic cop, sending Denver Broncos teammates this way and that. All the while, the play clock is winding down.
Manning isn't just playing quarterback. He's playing chicken with the defense, baiting it to reveal strategy. His success before the snap is a reason he is counted among the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, and it's a tactic he will use Saturday in a divisional playoff game against Baltimore at Sports Authority Field.
"I'm betting that 90% of the time before he gets the ball, he knows where he's going with the ball," said Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway, the Broncos' top football executive. "That helps with getting rid of it, and it also helps with his accuracy, because if he knows where he's going with it, it's a hell of a lot easier to get the feet set and get it going to the right spot."
Manning, the league's only four-time most valuable player, is a leading candidate to pick up his fifth award. In his first season with the Broncos, he led the NFL with a 68.6 completion percentage, was second with a 105.8 passer rating, third with 37 passing touchdowns and sixth with 4,659 passing yards.

As abortion advocates gather Thursday, Feb. 10, in Washington, D.C., to "celebrate" the 1973 Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision that has killed 52 million unborn children, women and men of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign will be there to remind them that every abortion has more than one victim.
For the sixth consecutive year, Silent No More members will greet NARAL supporters outside their annual luncheon at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, located at 2500 Calvert St. NW, holding signs that say "I Regret My Abortion" or "I Regret My Lost Fatherhood." The pro-life advocates also will be there as people leave the luncheon.
"We feel it's important to have a presence when they're celebrating, to show that there's another side to this" said Nancy Tanner, Silent No More regional coordinator for Northern Virginia. "Many of us are hurt by abortion and regret that decision."
All pro-lifers are welcome to join the peaceful protest.
The Silent No More Awareness Campaign was co-founded by Janet Morana, executive director of Priests for Life, and Georgette Forney, president of Anglicans for Life.
The campaign's most visible outreach takes place every year immediately following the March for Life in Washington, D.C., when women and men gather in front of the Supreme Court building to tell the many ways their abortion experiences hurt them -- emotionally, physically and spiritually.
"These women and men are tired of having pro-choice advocates pretend to speak for them. They want to tell the world, in their own words, that what is too easily celebrated as a 'choice' and a 'right' is in fact a painful burden," said Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life.
To speak with Nancy Tanner, contact her at 703-731-2431 or email@example.com.
To speak with Father Pavone, call Daniel Matejek at 888-735-3488, ext. 251, or email email@example.com

Installing KDE on OpenBSD 5.2
I mostly use openbsd for fire walling/routing but I am liking this OS so much I want to also run it on my desktop.
Last night I went looking for a tutorial on how to install KDE but most everything was out of date.
My main question is, how do know which kde packages to install from this list?
is there one file that i can download and install?
Thanks in advance
Start by installing kdebase. Here, for your entertainment, is the message that you will receive upon installation. You can also obtain it with the -M option of pkg_info(1).
If you are coming from linux or FreeBSD you may want to want to research the available desktops in OpenBSD. Although KDE4 is seeing some developmental activity, KDE 3 is what you will get in OpenBSD 5.2.
Gnome is fairly up to date thanks to a herculean effort by one of the main OpenBSD developers. Another developer is on the XFCE4 team.
Between Gnome/XFCE I have a sense that XFCE4 has the edge in upstream code quality.
I usually like to do the install in the default fvwm window manager with a couple of xterms open. You will get install messages to set soft links in python, enable some services (dbus and avahi) and it is nice to copy/paste some of the commands after reading the documentation.

Groups to oppose proposed fees for use of Stonington athletic fields
Stonington - Representatives of youth sports leagues in town are expected to oppose a plan to charge them and other organizations an hourly fee to use the town's athletic fields.
The Athletic Fields Task Force, which meets tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Human Services Building, is reviewing the proposal drafted by Recreation Administrator Joe Mendonca Jr. and the Recreation Commission. Any changes to the town's policy regarding use of its athletic fields would have to approved and implemented by the Board of Selectmen.
Representatives of the youth football, lacrosse and soccer programs are expected to make a unified presentation opposing the plan, which they say could as much as double the fees they charge their players.
The town had discussed the fees this winter but made no move to implement them.
The town recently spent $2.8 million to renovate the athletic fields behind the high school and install artificial turf on the football field. Taxpayers will pay for those improvements through debt payments in the annual budget. In addition to public school teams, youth leagues as well as teams from other schools in town use the fields.
The town is considering implementing the fees to help offset a small portion of the estimated $130,000 it costs annually to maintain the fields, as well as the $400,000 it would cost in 10 to 12 years to replace the artificial turf.
Paul Sartor, chairman of the task force, likened the proposal to the town's yellow garbage bag program, in which residents only pay to dispose of the garbage they generate.
In the case of the fields, the users would help pay for some of the maintenance.
"I think it's reasonable that the users pay something. The question is, how much?" Sartor said. "I'm looking forward to a nice, robust conversation about this."
For community youth athletic organizations, the plan includes a sliding fee schedule based on how often the teams use a field. The costs begin at $5 an hour for up to 49 hours and increase by 50 cents an hour for every 50 additional hours used.
An organization that uses a field for 500 hours would pay $10 an hour for a total of $5,000.
The proposal includes separate hourly fee schedules for the use of the artificial turf field, grass fields, tennis and basketball courts by in-town nonprofit groups, out-of-town nonprofit groups and for-profit groups, such as camps and businesses. The fees for these groups would be much higher than those paid by the youth teams.
For example, using the artificial turf field would cost a local nonprofit group $50 an hour, an out-of-town nonprofit $100 an hour and a for-profit group $125 an hour.
There are additional hourly costs for using the lights, scoreboard/public address system and the press box.
The proposal also states that school activities have priority use of the fields, followed by Recreation Department activities.

In pure Mariah style, the singer braved the snowiest night in Aspen Wednesday to party with friends and family. Carey kept warm in a very tight leather jacket, second-skin black pants, high heels and dark oversized shades. (So what if it was at nighttime — and snowing?!). We love how delicately she carries her glass of champagne through the flurries. What a trooper! On a scale of One being Congresswoman conservative, and Ten being ready for her video vixen close-up, we'd give this look a Six. Afterall, she's gonna get a serious draft unless she zips up more! Tell us: On a scale of one to Ten, how would you rate Mariah's oh-factor in this look?

What do you think of when you hear the words "corn whiskey"? Perhaps images of backwoods stills and mason jars come to mind. As my recent post of Balcones' True Blue corn whiskey demonstrates, a lot of micro distilleries are taking on the humble grain and crafting some very interesting products. However, let's not forget this category has been around for a long time.
Heaven Hill produces more corn whiskey than any other distillery today, including the subject of this review, Mellow Corn. I've noticed over the last couple years the distillery's pushing this flagship corn whiskey over J.W. Corn and Dixie Dew, which are essentially the same products. To me that makes a lot of sense. How many corn whiskeys does a distillery need to sell?
By now you are probably aware that one of the components required for a whiskey to be called "bourbon" is a corn content of at least 51%. Corn whiskey in contrast must contain greater than 80% corn. In addition, and also unlike bourbon, corn whiskey may be aged in used barrels.
Mellow Corn Specs: Mellow Corn is 90% corn with a small percentage of rye and barley making up the remaining 10%. The whiskey's golden chardonnay color indicates it has been aged in used barrels. We also know it's been sitting in wood for at least four years. Even though Mellow Corn is bottled in bond at 100 proof, the resulting aging process produces a much lighter style of whiskey with some rustic edges.
Mellow Corn Corn Whiskey, 50% abv (100 Proof), $12/bottle
Color: Gold/Chardonnay
Nose: Bright and brisk – heaps of vanilla taffy, dried banana, sweet corn, and honey.
Palate: A bit of ginger spice and warm spice wrapped around a soft, sweet core of vanilla taffy and banana. Moderate warmth and rustic corn grain edges.
Finish: Longer finish than I expected. Vanilla and bit of white pepper.
Overall: Mellow Corn is not a complex whiskey to say the least, but it's bright and easy sipping even at 100 proof. Where it gets it right is with balance. It's not overly sweet, mildly spiced, and with great vanilla and banana fruitiness. I laugh when I read negative comments about Mellow Corn. Mostly because it's well made, good whiskey. If you put this in the hands of someone like John Glaser of Compass Box Whisky Company overseas, he'd blend this into something marvelous that people would buy for $50. Would I recommend you absolutely go out and buy Mellow Corn? No, I can't say that I would. However if you are interested in building on your whiskey education, an $11-13 purchase would go a long well to give you an appreciation of the style.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 7.7 (Good)

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Norwich University football team dropped a 30-22 loss to Gallaudet University on Saturday afternoon in Eastern Collegiate Football Conference action.
With the loss, the Cadets fall to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in ECFC action, while the Bison remain undefeated at 5-0, 2-0 ECFC. Today marks the first time that Norwich has lost to Gallaudet, as the Cadets won the first four meetings between the two schools.
Trailing 30-7 through three quarters, the Cadets posed a 15-point fourth-quarter comeback on the strength of touchdowns by junior Keyen Foley(Hemet, Calif.) and Matt Mulcahy (Essex, Vt.). Foley snapped a 36-minute Norwich scoring drought on a 19-yard run with 8:24 to play. 1:37 later, Norwich's Ethan Hanks (Hull, Mass.) recovered a fumble on Gallaudet's first-and-15, setting up Foley to find Mulcahy for a 22-yard pass. Foley then found sophomore Jake Ouellette (Turner, Maine) for the two-point conversion to set the score at 30-22.
Following Mulcahy's touchdown, the Norwich defense forced Gallaudet into a turnover on downs, allowing Norwich one final opportunity to tie with 2:35 on the clock. The Cadets totaled four first-downs on the drive and traveled 68 yards to reach the red zone, but after two failed incomplete passes, the Cadets fumbled on third-and-goal and time expired to end the game.
Foley totaled 130 passing yards with a touchdown as he completed 16 of 28 passes without throwing an interception. He also ran for 45 yards and two touchdowns, as he also scored the Cadets first touchdown of the day on a seven-yard run with 18 seconds left to play in the first quarter.
Junior Al Georgio (West Greenwich, R.I.) led the Norwich rushers with 57 yards and a long of 21, while Mulcahy led the Cadets receivers with 61 yards. As a team, Norwich posted 238 yards of total offense.
The Norwich defense was on the field for the majority of the game, as the Bison had offensive possession for 38:20. Sir Michael Finney (Killeen, Texas) finished with a team-high 15 tackles and Dane Pallotto (Westbrook, Conn.) contributed 12. Hanks finished with 11 tackles and a fumble recovery, while Nael Pierre-Louis (Cumberland, R.I.) netted a first-quarter interception and returned it 22 yards to the Gallaudet 14-yard line to set up Norwich for their first touchdown of the day.
Gallaudet totaled 304 yards on the ground and added just 71 passing yards to total 375 yards of offense. Quarterbacks Todd Bonheyo and Quention Williams combined for 95 yards on the run, including two touchdowns by Williams. Todd Bonheyo threw for all 71 yards by completing three passes on four attempts.
Ryan Bonheyo netted the first score for the Bison with 6:11 to play in the first quarter. Kicker Chase Magsig missed the PAT attempt, and Norwich took the 7-6 lead on Foley's first touchdown run.
Following Norwich's touchdown, the Cadets attempted an on-side kick as time in the quarter ticked down, but Gallaudet recovered and had time to run one play to start the second quarter on Norwich's 43-yard line. With excellent field position to start the second, the Bison used 11 plays to set up Williams for the one-yard touchdown run. Magsig connected on the point-after attempt to put the Bison up 13-7.
Gallaudet would add two more touchdowns in the second quarter as Braxton Baker scored on a four-yard run at the 1:47 mark and Williams ran for his second touchdown with 33 seconds left in the half. The Bison led 27-7 at half.
Magsig was the lone scorer of the third quarter, as he completed a 32-yard field goal midway through the quarter to extend the Bison lead to 27 points before Norwich posted their 15-point fourth quarter.
Gregg McConville led the Gallaudet defense with 12 tackles and two sacks. Jaris Alleyne added nine tackles, while Tyler Snider recorded five tackles, including two for a loss of six yards.
Norwich will be back in action next Saturday, Oct. 19 as the team hosts SUNY Maritime at Sabine Field at Haynes Family Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 1:30 p.m.

Xavier: Renegade Angel (US - DVD R1)
Gabe takes a long vision quest with some kind of man-bird-horse-snake...
I'm pretty much at a loss for words here. Adult Swim is not known for subtle comedic entertainment, or its lack of weirdness, but Xavier: Renegade Angel might be the most flat-out nightmarish thing to ever hit the channel's air. It's possible I just don't find the show's particular sense of existential horror humour as riotous as it was intended, but it's hard to not be rubbed a little terrified by the shows mix of uncanny digital characters, disturbingly taboo subject matter, drug-hazed visuals, and apathetic use of graphic, bloody violence. If the animation were any more realistic I'd probably be dry heaving right now. Unlike Tim and Eric Awesome Show, or the latter episodes of other Adult Swim shows that devolved into pointless oddity, Xavier is so pointedly weird it must be art. Right? That's how art works, isn't it?
The show, from the people that brought us the equally weird, and equally miss above hit MTV series Wonder Showzen, revolves around a bird-beaked, snake-armed, furry fawn-like creature named Xavier. Xavier wanders the desert like Cane from Kung Fu, on some sort of new-age guru inspired vision quest, and he helps those in need along the way. Unfortunately, Xavier is a borderline sociopath, and he isn't very bright, so his existential assistance usually mucks things up worse than they were before he got to them. The animation is of the computer generated variety, and looks kind of like a Play Station game. There look is somewhat three dimensional, character movement is stiff, and extraneous elements like hair often overlap body frames and set pieces. The style choice seems just as pointed as the writing, and is possibly meant to evoke 'The Sims' or 'Grand Theft Auto', though any actual video game related story elements are apparently beyond the point. Honestly, I'm not sure what's going on, and there isn't much technical information available on the show.
I hesitate to compare the series to what I'd consider 'important' art, but Xavier often recalls Alejandro Jodorowsky's oddball feature films, specifically El Topo and The Holy Mountain. Most of the comparison comes out of the fact that both the series and Jodorowsky's films satire religion, and spirituality, but there are enough visual similarities that I assume Xavier's creators are familiar with Jodorowsky's and his contemporaries. Way too much time is spent on Xavier's dialogue, which is mostly made-up of obscene double-entendres. These are reasonably amusing, and kind of work as a repetitive theme, but in large doses it's exhausting. Actually, pretty much the whole show is exhausting in large doses. In 15 minute incriminates, flanked by other, less abstract Adult Swim series, it's a nice sprinkling of 'alternative' entertainment. The second season (the ten episodes on disc two) sees the show finding a more interesting footing, and a balance the between the dueling themes of balls-out weirdness, and more traditional comedy. At least as close as these guys are willing to get to 'traditional comedy'.
Xavier's Play Station quality visuals don't inspire the greatest video expectation. Lumpy details, noisy colours, and jagged edges are expected. The colours are reasonably bright, and blacks are plenty dark, but nothing is particularly pure or sharp. Pixilation is to be expected, along with the 'purposeful errors' that go along with the dated video game look. The transfer's real problem is the fact that it's not anamorphically enhanced (though, for all I know the letterboxing might have been intended for some hilarious reason). The transfer is chunky enough that using your set's zoom function isn't a huge deal, but Adult Swim has moved on to high definition transfers. There's really no reason they can't anamorphically enhance all their 16x9 shows on standard DVD. I'm not saying Xavier could stand up any better if it were an HD transfer, but come on guys.
Xavier comes fitted with a television friendly Dolby Surround 2.0 track. The track is more impressive than the video, mostly because there's just so much abstract and stylized noise. Sometimes the nightmarish sounds (outside of being bone chilling and bile pushing) erupts throughout all available channels aggressively enough to sound quite a bit like a full 5.1 track. There's enough bleeding noise (no pun intended) to make the lack of discreet center and surround channels clear, but for a 2.0 track it's pretty solid, and stylish. Listen, and enjoy Xavier's echoing voice for yourself.
Dear Adult Swim: Please, God, please make future DVD releases' audio commentary tracks accessible from either the 'extras' or 'set-up' menus. It's really, really obnoxious to have to hunt for episodes with commentary as if they were Easter Eggs. Xavier: Renegade Angel's extras begin with a few hidden fan-commentary tracks on select episodes (I'm going to let you guys hunt them down for yourselves). These tracks are pretty much entirely annoying, but you've got to love a show that asks its fans to record commentary tracks for the official DVD release. Disc two features the series' extras, which begin with 'Damnesia You: Inhonorable Unmentionables' (14:30). The show's producers held a contest for homemade Xavier skits, and the winners were shown as part of the episode titled 'Damnesia You'. The runners-up, or at least 13 of them, are presented here. They run the gamut from unwatchable, to better than the show usually manages. 'Xaviercize' (3:30) closes out the disc. The extra is made up of the character dancing to very '80s sounding music, and devolves into flashing abstraction.
Xavier: Renegade Angel is bizarre enough that my opinion on the subject is moot. Most readers are going to find it revolting, and possibly even infuriatingly offensive, but others are going to adore its original comedic image and voice. I find myself respecting the show, but I don't enjoy watching it for more than a few minutes at a time. One episode a week is plenty. Perhaps if I partook in hallucinatory drugs I'd be singing a different tune. If this is all too vague might I suggest the curious head over to the official Adult Swim website and watch an episode? Series fans will be disappointed by the disc's lack of anamorphic enhancement and extras, but the audio quality is better than expected.

At last, after 4 1/2 seasons, AMC's "Breaking Bad" has become a true cultural phenomenon, just in time for its final eight episodes.
But just because fans will have only two more months in which to celebrate the scheming and plotting of meth maestro Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and his hapless sidekick Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) doesn't mean the "Breaking Bad" fun will end. In fact, based on the number of fan-made videos celebrating the joys of building a criminal empire with well-cooked crystal meth, the real creativity is just getting started.
GRAPHIC - 'Breaking Bad' to 'Justified': Killing off your favorite stars
The 'Breaking Bad: The Middle School Musical" video got a lot of attention last week, but that's just the latest in a long line of bizarre and truly inspired videos remixing the show in any number of ways.
Take, for example, this video created by Toronto musician Andrew Huang. Using objects found in any common neighborhood meth lab, Huang has performed a one-man performance of the "Breaking Bad" theme song composed by Dave Porter.
YouTube comedy video-makers Slacktory combed through footage from every episode of "Breaking Bad" in order to find the perfect clips to illustrate "Weird Al" Yankovic's 11-minute epic "Albuquerque" from 1999. Though the song, a long, rambling narrative about Yankovic's made-up life in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has absolutely nothing to do with Vince Gilligan's series, the images and bits of the show are eerily perfect.
Animator Brian Anderson gained some notoriety this spring when he created a "Breaking Bad: The Video Game" parody in the style of the popular Lego games. That video became a viral sensation and has received more than 1.4 million page views to date. Just like the actual Lego video games, this parody video is filled with fun little references for fans of the show. (Pizza on the White's garage roof? Check).
Three years ago, editor Sacha Proctor took the opening of a "Breaking Bad" episode and refashioned it into an ABC-style family sitcom, to disturbing results. The first video has been seen more than 600,000 times and Proctor has made seven subsequent "episodes" of this series that will never see airtime on the real ABC.
Amazingly, Proctor was able to take Gus Fring's gruesome death at the end of Season 4 and turn it into a Farrelly Brothers-style fart-palooza. (An episode not embedded here.)

UK makes royal coin for baby prince's christening
LONDON (AP) — Superstition holds it's good luck to cross a newborn's palm with silver to wish the child riches and health, but Britain's baby Prince George is getting something more: A whole new set of coins in his honor.
Britain's Royal Mint said the 5 pound coin (with a face value of $8) will carry the image of the child's great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II on the front and cherubs and lilies on the back.
The Royal Mint routinely issues commemorative coins for royal occasions, although it said Monday that this would be its first set meant to mark a christening, the ceremony by which children are welcomed into the church through baptism.
Thousands of silver, gold and uncirculated versions of the coin are being minted.
Prince George was born July 22.

Mike Puype has been around long enough to understand the business side of horse racing.
That knowledge, however, doesn't take away the sting from the departure of Turbulent Descent, who was sold for an undisclosed sum last Saturday. The trainer took time Tuesday to reflect on her career and how her absence will affect him.
"It's a hard thing to have happen," said Puype. "She's been nothing but good for everyone involved with her from the moment she first came to my barn."
Turbulent Descent, a 4-year-old daughter of Congrats and Roger's Sue, was bred in Florida and purchased for $160,000 at the Ocala Breeders Sale in April, 2010. She had an 11 7-2-0 record for Puype, with earnings of $901,640. Three of her victories were Grade I's and she's been favored in all of her races.
The bay is 4-for-4 at Betfair Hollywood Park, including a victory in the Grade I Hollywood Starlet in 2010. She won her final start for Puype in the Desert Stormer Handicap June 17th. The filly is scheduled to be shipped to New York shortly, where she will be trained by Todd Pletcher.
"I knew it was coming to an end anyway," Puype continued. "She was going to be sold after a few more races but the owners received an offer they couldn't refuse and that's what needed to be done. It came out of the blue. I didn't know anything about it until Friday. They closed the deal quickly and that was it."
It took the trainer only a millisecond to identify the Grade I Test in 2011 as her greatest victory.
"It's not even close,'' he said. "She was devastating in that race at Saratoga. She won with speed to spare. That was absolutely, positively her best race, without a doubt. She won some other races in hand and was 5-for-5 on synthetic tracks. Basically, I can't say enough about her. I love her and it's hard to see her go but, again, it's a business."
Puype's compensation from the sale could be considerable, but the subject comes across as a secondary consideration.
"That's all being worked out," explained Puype. "I'm sure I'm not going to come up short. It's just hard to lose her."
Saturday will be a busy day at Betfair Hollywood Park.
A field of seven was entered Wednesday for the Grade I, $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup at 1 1-4 miles on Cushion Track. The Gold Cup is a Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You're In" race. The winner receives an automatic berth in the Breeders' Cup Classic with pre-entry and entry fees waived, along with a $10,000 travel stipend.
Bob Baffert will saddle the two highweights, Game On Dude (124 pounds) and Richard's Kid (120). Game on Dude is a multiple Grade I winner and cantered home by 7 1-4 lengths in the Grade II Californian June 2nd. He was beaten a nose by stablemate First Dude in this race last year. Chantal Sutherland, who was aboard the 5-year-old for his last four victories, will try to become the first female jockey to win the Gold Cup.
Richard's Kid, who returned from a failed stay in Dubai with a smashing victory in the Prove It Stakes June 8th, will be trying for his fourth Grade I victory. The 7-year-old son of Lemon Drop Kid was third to Awesome Gem in the 2010 Gold Cup.
An interesting sidenote is the entry of 4-year-old filly Love Theway Youare, who takes on males following an upset win in the Grade I Vanity June 16th.
Besides the Gold Cup, the card will also include the Grade II, $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile for fillies and mares at a mile on turf.
Saturday also will mark the final public appearance locally of I'll Have Another, who will soon be shipped to begin his new career as a stallion. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner will be paraded between races. His trainer and rider, Doug O'Neill and Mario Gutierrez, will hold an autograph session between 12-1 p.m. near the Paddock Tote Board.
There will also be a fedora giveaway—one per paid admission while supplies last—and a Gold Cup hat contest with a $500 first prize.
Assistant trainer Phil D'Amato visited Mike Mitchell Tuesday and reports the trainer is in fine spirits. Mitchell, who had an operation to remove a brain tumor Friday, was released from the hospital Monday.
"You wouldn't have known he'd had any kind of operation, let alone brain surgery," said D'Amato. "He was cracking jokes and was as sharp as ever. We went over every horse in the barn and planned out their schedules. Right now, he's planning to come out (to Betfair Hollywood Park) to watch some horses breeze this weekend."
Mitchell is still awaiting results of a biopsy on the tumor.
Entering Wednesday's card, Bob Baffert and Rafael Bejarano have built up insurmountable leads in the trainer and jockey standings.
The pair combined to win with Night Tide Sunday and will team up again with Richard's Kid in the Hollywood Gold Cup.
Entering Wednesday, Baffert has 28 victories from 76 starters, a 36.8 win percentage. The Hall of Famer has finished in the money 54 times, or 71 per cent. He leads second-place John Sadler by 10 winners and third-place Mike Mitchell by 16. He also tops all trainers with eight stakes victories.
Bejarano has been even more dominant. The Peruvian native, who turned 30 June 23, has a lopsided 61-37 advantage over second place Joe Talamo. From 206 mounts, he has a 61-37-28 record. That's a 29.6 win percentage and 61.6 per cent in the money. He went 18 consecutive racing days (May 26-June 29) with at least one victory. Bejarano also has a meet high 12 stakes victories during the Spring/Summer meet, which will conclude Sunday, July 15.
A dinner/dance to benefit jockey Omar Berrio will be held Sunday, July 8 at Betfair Hollywood Park.
The Turf Club event, which will be hosted by Betfair Hollywood Park, the local jockey colony and the Southern California Race Track Chaplaincy, will take place after the day's races are over.
Berrio, a rider on this circuit for more than 20 years, suffered his second stroke May 11. A native of Panama City, Panama who won his initial race April 13, 1990 at Santa Anita, Berrio, 43, was first stricken in December, 2010.
A $100 donation allows fans to enjoy a buffet dinner and meet members of the Southern California jockey community, including Rafael Bejarano, Victor Espinoza, David Flores and Joe Talamo.

"The Evolution of Evolution: How Darwin's Theory Survives, Thrives and Reshapes the World" is the theme of the latest issue of Scientific American (January 2009), commemorating the bicentennial of Darwin's birth and the sesquicentennial of the publication of the Origin of Species — and NCSE is represented, with Glenn Branch and Eugenie C. Scott's discussion of the newest mutations of the antievolutionist movement in "The Latest Face of Creationism."
Salman Hameed of Hampshire College addressed the challenge of Islamic creationism in the December 12, 2008, issue of Science (322 [5908]: 1637-1638), warning (subscription required) that "although the last couple of decades have seen an increasing confrontation over the teaching of evolution in the United States, the next major battle over evolution is likely to take place in the Muslim world (i.e., predominantly Islamic countries, as well as in countries where there are large Muslim populations)."
Amid the hoopla as the bicentennial of Darwin's birth and the sesquicentennial of the publication of the Origin of Species approach, it is good to be reminded of the contributions of Alfred Russel Wallace, who also formulated the idea of evolution by natural selection. "Wallace's story is complicated, heroic, and perplexing," as David Quammen writes in "The Man Who Wasn't Darwin" (published in the December 2008 issue of National Geographic).
Judge John E. Jones III, who presided over the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial, was interviewed by Jane Gitschier for PLoS Genetics.
The fourth issue of Evolution: Education and Outreach — the new journal aspiring to promote accurate understanding and comprehensive teaching of evolutionary theory for a wide audience — is now available on-line.

Sam Walsh: For a Sustainable Mining Industry
Following are introductory remarks from the speech by Sam Walsh, AO, Executive Director and Chief Executive - Iron Ore and Australia, Rio Tinto, in Sydney on May 24, 2012.
Re-igniting the Challenges of Sustainability — Should We Be Afraid?
Any discussion of sustainability really needs to grapple at its outset with some questions of definition.
What does the word really mean anyway? It's a word that has gained phenomenal currency in the past decade or two and, depending on its context, can take on quite different meanings and overtones.
We hear it uttered routinely by environmentalists, economists, biologists, politicians, lobby groups, bicycle salesmen, wind-farm proponents, purveyors of alternative medicines and even mining company executives.
In the hands of all these different people the word can be put to work almost as a banner or slogan for their particular cause.
The one thing they have in common is they're all in favour of it. I can't recall ever hearing someone attack the idea or imply sustainability is not something for which we should all be striving.
We hear and read that we need sustainable water supplies, food production, economic growth, employment, education systems, logging, energy sources, industries ...
My remarks today will concentrate on another thing that, in my view, must also be sustainable — the mining industry.
When a word like this becomes so loaded with different shades of meaning, it's helpful to go back to basics and contemplate what it used to mean, back when public discourse was a little more simple.
The Oxford dictionary tells us:
1) Supportable or bearable;
2) Able to be upheld or defended;
3) Able to be maintained at a certain rate — or, concerning activities like agriculture or mining — not leading to depletion of resources or degradation of the environment.
As always, that's a good starting point.
My company, Rio Tinto Australia, is comprehensively committed to sustainability.
My intention today is to outline this commitment to you, aligning my discussion to the Oxford's sensible definition.

As for the long-coming Duke Nukem Forever, Miller stressed that "we've never said that Duke Nukem Forever has ceased development," explaining "yes, we released the internal team, but that doesn't correlate to the demise of the project." Back in June, 3D Realms claimed it was still working on "the development of" Duke Nukem Forever, despite having "released the majority of its employees working on the development."Casual Duke games? Whatever next. 2009 was hardly 3D Realms' best on record.
He's real!
Bryn says: *Yawn* Enough with the back-and-forth routine, 3D Realms. At this point, do you lot even care anymore about DNF? If the game released tomorrow, how many of you would rush out and drop cash on it? There's just too much of a bad taste in the mouths of gamers I reckon. I do, however, still have a soft spot for Duke's spoken word. I mean, who can resist YouTube's search for "Prank Calls Ft. Duke Nukem"? Oh, it's not safe for work, kids!

Shannon Archer is "not reinventing the wheel" with Sun City Hilton Head's golf amenities; he wants to enhance what is already established.
Archer is in his fourth week as Sun City's director of golf operations but he's no stranger to the Lowcountry. He was general manager and golf director at Hilton Head National Golf Club for a total of 11 years.
"I'm not another pro conducting tournaments and giving lessons. I'm minding the store," he said of his new title.
"I don't want to discount what our golf professionals have already accomplished. I want to build upon and possible improve upon what we've got here," he said.
Archer described Sun City's golf offerings as "a great mix" that includes:
• Okatie Creek — "a shorter, member-friendly" layout;
• Hidden Cypress — "a longer, championship-style" course; and,
• Argent Lake — "an easier, executive" track.
Each has its own professional and operates under Archer's leadership umbrella.
The top priority for the overall golf operation is financial stability, he said. "It needs to pay for itself. It needs to be sustainable and there's no reason it can't be self sufficient."
The secondary goal is to keep golf at Sun City attractive to the community members, he said.
"We want to give residents more reasons to stay on the property," he said. "I want to make sure the golf experience matches the promise."
Archer acknowledged that local public-access courses covet the playing affections of Sun City golfers. About 25 percent of the community's 13,400 residents play golf.
"I was on the other side" at Hilton Head National, he said.
And he has seen the public-access courses evolve from courting the Sun City players during the vacation golf off season to "now needing them year-round" to make financial ends meet.
Archer said he doesn't want to get into "rate wars" with area golf venues.
"We want to offer a fair rate for a good experience — convenience, service and value," he said.
Archer and Martin Smith, public relations and communications director for the Sun City Community Association, said they will work to "define Sun City golf" with a branding effort that encompasses logos, web sites, advertising and other marketing tools.
"We're looking at golf as part of the Del Webb active adult lifestyle," Smith said.
"We want to create a little bit of a buzz," Archer said. "We've got a lot to do."

Who: Alpes Inox, Italian kitchen design
What We Noticed: This modestly-sized stainless steel cabinet didn't look like much... until we opened it and found practically a whole kitchen inside! Read on for more info and photos.
The appliances are made by three separate manufacturers: Liebherr (fridge), Siemens (dishwasher) and the oven appears to be by Alpes Inox. Just add a sink and a cooktop and you're set, and in a very small footprint. So smart and awesome!

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

Miki, a long short story... Miki is a professional French artist, born in the Pyrenees, Her works have been sold and published worldwide. Her painting is a reflection of her life: a permanent oscillation between light and shadow, lines and shapes, times and places, always looking for that equilibrium which she can only find in continuous movement, in the mysterious and the unknown. A life divided between two passions: mathematics and painting. The first as a supreme form of abstract art ruling her universe... The second as a way of cementing the beauty of that art.

We now enter the portion of the New York Jets discussion where everyone blames Mark Sanchez and his deplorable season for all of the franchise's ills.
On Wednesday night, it was former Jets teammate Kris Jenkins' turn on Showtime's "Inside the NFL."
"What Sanchez has to take responsibility for is during the time that he could have gotten better he wanted to sit back," said Jenkins, who played with Sanchez in 2009 and 2010, via the New York Post. "He wanted to pose for magazines, worry about his haircuts and do all of that stuff. ... I'm just saying, from what I saw him do, it was a lot better than what it is now. But he coasted. They coddled him. That was what was going on."
The "coddle theory" isn't exactly new. The Jets' handling of their supposed franchise quarterback has been questioned since the team was on HBO's "Hard Knocks" in 2010, Sanchez's second NFL season. The Jets also jettisoned offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer in part because Sanchez's improvement stalled. Then there was that Tim Tebow debacle.
The New York Daily News reported Wednesday that the Jets would try to trade Sanchez during the offseason. Jenkins said the Jets have no choice.
"I think that if you leave Sanchez in that locker room, he is going to become a bad apple. ... And the locker room has been fragile for the past two years," Jenkins said.
This isn't the first time the former Pro Bowl nose tackle has taken shots at Jets players. We'd be amiss, however, not to point out that Jenkins himself was largely a bust after the Jets traded two draft picks to the Carolina Panthers for him in 2008, then gave him a new five-year, $35 million contract with $20 million guaranteed. He spent much of his final two seasons in New York on injured reserve with anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
When asked where he saw the Jets going from this point, Jenkins didn't mince words.
"Nowhere. It is done," he said. "Stick a fork in them."
Don't worry, Kris, we already did.
