"Keep together," I shouted, moving down the line, the retinas of others reflecting my light as I drifted past. "And keep moving. We're almost there!"
Being weightless, especially being weightless in the dark, was far more difficult than I anticipated. Twice, my head slammed against the ceiling or wall after a misjudged kick or a slip against the thin layer of moisture coating present on every surface. Each movement threatened to bring me in a collision course with the fragile thread of people making their way forward, promising to create destructive waves among the already tense crowd. And with each group of people I passed, the fractures grew wider, the panic more palpable, the people clinging more desperately to the sight of my light like a breath of fresh air.
"You, Ben and Asher!" I shouted at a particularly large gap, positioning myself in the center and addressing those on my left and right. "Reach towards me; we need to join your two segments. Ben, slow your side down. Asher, speed up. That's it! Here, take hold!"
Each of them gripped one of my hands, stretching me apart as I tried to pull them together, my chest muscles straining while being careful to keep the draw smooth and continuous. One jerk from the center had the potential to cause fractures on both ends of the line, tripling the problems in my immediate vicinity. But over the course of a minute, the distance closed as we drifted forward. Their fingers fastened, locking together the chain so I could move to the next link. And the next. And the next.
Until after several hundred people, the groups stopped entirely. Individuals peppered the hall, bouncing to wall to wall in lost desperation, their voices crying out as they searched for lost loved ones.
"This way!" I shouted, my light drawing them forward. "Past me and forward! Join the main while you can. You, Dan, how far back were you in the initial line?"
"Slightly past half," replied the former gardener, his body upside down in comparison to my own. "There are many behind us, Horatius. Are you sure, are you sure that what we are seeking exists at the end of this?"
"Positive," I answered, fighting to keep my voice confident. "Absolutely positive. Keep moving and don't let the others stray."
"Will do," he answered. "I'm trusting you, Horatius. I was always among those who adopted your methods. And I can only hope you are right once more."
Then he disappeared, and I dove further into the darkness, searching out movement, tracking down sounds. Looking for life.
"You!" shouted a voice from my right as claw-like fingers dug deep into my forearm and a weight slammed into my side. Yelping, I nearly lost grip of the stun gun as a wrinkled face entered into my vision, and I reeled backwards as it broke into a snarl and released a wailing voice.
"You led us into death, Horatius – at least back home, we had light! What have you done for us, you have manufactured the death of our children. You have sealed our fates!"
Spittle flew into my face with each word as I struggled to recognize the face, eventually realizing it was Granny Vitula, a woman who had spent most of her life in the background of the ship's population. She had been one of the few old enough to escape work, and spending the majority of her days alone, sometimes accompanied by those who wished to consult her memory. A memory that age had started to claim and came in pieces, often recounting past events as far more golden than they had actually been.
"You – you're almost there," I stammered, shocked to see her reduced to this state, wincing as her nails dug deeper.
"Almost to death!" she howled. "Almost to starvation, almost to –"
"No, listen! I can help you get there, I can –" But her wailing cut off my words, and I shook my arm as her nails broke skin, dislodging her, and spoke again, my voice shaking as I pointed and gave her thrashing body a push in the right direction.
"T-that way, go now! Follow the line!" Then I kept moving, trying to clear my head. There were far more others to rescue, others who sought salvation. And with limited time, I could not afford to help her.
But as I found others, and as I searched, her words still echoed in my head. Words I desperately hoped were false.
You led us into death! You sealed our fates!
"Elliott!" I shouted as he came into view from around a corner, Ruth and Hannah at his side, and Tom behind him. I'd passed through dozens of wanderers before finding him, yet sounds had emanated from each fork I had passed, sounds from people diffusing into every possible direction. And while I knew I had not covered the breadth of the expanding crowd, by finding Elliott, I had reached the deepest end of it.
"Horatius!" he answered, leaping forward. "What's happening? Why did Airomem shut off the power?"
"She didn't do it this time," I answered. "It was bad timing. According to her, we are out of it, like a glass empty of water."
"I didn't realize it would come so soon," responded Elliott, "or at such an inopportune time."
"Neither did we," I said, "or we would have been more prepared. But now we have to herd everyone towards the bridge. We can't leave anyone behind, not after they trusted us."
Elliott shook his head, his eyes sunken.
"We're scattered from end to end, Horatius. Even with hours, there's no way we could find everyone. We've done our best to contain the line ahead of us, but even so, there are those that could have looped behind us."
"Well, we have to try," I said and felt my throat closing. "I can't, I can't lead them to starvation. Not again."
Elliott gripped my arm and spoke, his voice low and steady.
"You did what you thought was right, Horatius. Had we only followed tradition, had we never strayed, we would never have made it this far. Mistakes are impossible to avoid when striking a new path, and we are stepping away from one hundreds of years old. Leaping away from it. And we've had our fair share of mistakes. But now, now we have to continue pushing forward. To save who we can and to recognize that those who we can't are those that the mistakes have claimed."
"Change cannot happen without resistance. Now, Horatius, you've traveled backwards to find us; let's travel forward to find the bridge. And save who we can before it's too late."
He leapt forward, pulling Hannah and Ruth behind him, and leaving Tom and me to follow. Despite his size, or his lumbering characteristics in normal gravity, Tom exhibited more grace than any of us maneuvering in weightlessness, using light touches against the walls to steady himself and maintain his momentum. The only other place I'd ever seen him so at ease was in the heavy room, back when I had joined him as a porter, back before disaster had struck.
And after a moment of silence, Tom spoke, his eyes straight ahead.
"Tom strongest man on this side of ship," he said, his voice reassuring. "But even Tom cannot carry everything. Horatius can't carry everyone."
We saw nearly no one as we traveled, but we heard many.
"This way!" shouted Elliott, my voice matching his as we faced down a fork. "Back towards our voices, this way!"
But from within, we heard only shouts too morphed by turns and distance to distinguish words.
"Stop, we can't deviate!" said Elliott as Hannah headed in their direction. "We need to make sure everyone ahead makes it safely first."
"But they'll die," said Hannah, pausing, her body horizontal and five feet off the ground, "You waited for us, you came to save us. What about them?"
"The others first, then we can come back," responded Elliott, his face strained. "We cannot sacrifice those who are almost there for those who are lost. We can save far more with less effort. Then we turn back."
"If there's time," I said, drifting between Hannah and Elliott. "With every minute, they drift farther away. Even I haven't explored the full reach of these corridors, Elliott. I don't know where they will be taken."
"All the more reason to regroup," he said. "You'll be just as lost as them in the darkness."
"We could split up –" I answered, but Elliott cut me off.
"No, Horatius. We are the leadership of this side of the ship. It is our duty to deliver the survivors to safety – we must consider them first."
"Then you're condemning the others to die," said Hannah, her voice borderline accusatory as Ruth looked between her mother and father, and Tom stared into the darkness. "How are we any better than them? How are you going to live with yourself when we arrive at the new planet, and you know that your neighbors, the people you sat next to at meals, the children you saw playing at breaks, the elderly that helped raise you were abandoned here?"
Elliott fell silent, frozen, slowly turning to follow Hannah's gaze. I held my breath as he swallowed. And just as he started to move, the screams began.
At first, it was only a single voice in the distance, a thin reed of sound just barely perceptible, just enough to make me shift my gaze. Then another screech joined in, and another, rapidly increasing in number and volume, reaching a crescendo in mere seconds. And growing closer.
Ruth's head turned as she became the first of us to realize the next quality to the shouts.
That they not only were coming from down the hallway.
But emanated from every direction.
"My God," whispered Elliott as he took Hannah's and Ruth's hands to pull them closer. "What's happening?"
His head whipped left and right, searching, but found nothing besides the blue light of my stun gun. And as soon as they began, the screams fell away, until only a few solitary new ones popped out of the darkness.
"Are they dying?" asked Hannah. "Why are they stopping?"
And just then, I realized that the blue light from my stun gun had grown brighter. Squinting, I gasped, understanding that the increase in light was not from my stun gun.
But rather from others approaching.
"Because they're saved," I breathed, just before three lights appeared down a corner and sped towards us, the wielders far more proficient at weightless travel than we were.
"Let's go, let's go!" shouted the one in the lead, slowing as he reached us and uncoiling a cord. "Grab hold! We're giving you a lift, courtesy of the Lear, your new brothers and sisters!"
"Did Airomem send you?" I asked, reaching out to grip the cable.
"We came as soon as she brought us news of the trouble. She's waiting now, at the departure vehicle. The doors have opened and we've already loaded our tribe – we await only upon the remains of yours!"
"A godsend," said Hannah, tears filling her eyes. "We are more grateful than you will ever know."
"As are we," said the Lear man, "for the return of our princess, for your shared knowledge of farming, and for new friends."
From behind, more bobbing lights appeared, as well as ahead, until nearly the entire area was illuminated as strong as it had been with power. Like us, others were towed behind members of the Lear, their faces alight with amazement as we converged. In minutes, we arrived at the entrance of the bridge, the door thrust open, and the inside glowing so blue that I nearly had to turn my eyes away.
But I couldn't.
The sight ahead was too mesmerizing.
Ranks of the Lear citizens were lined on the left and right of the hallway, ushering our people between them, pushing them along to where a double door had opened at the center of the bridge. And there, just before the entranceway, waited Airomem, personally welcoming each new member through the doors. Her chin high, her smile wide, her hair flowing straight back with no gravity to hold it down.
"Enter and find a seat!" she was saying. "Strap in, strap in! And prepare for the most monumental moment you will ever experience! Remember this to tell your grandchildren, so they may tell their own – today will be a day of legends! Hurry, move on – we are almost there!"
My smile spread to match hers as the Lear pushed me forward through their ranks, moving at the front of our small party, watching as more and more people disappeared within the double door. Then I was at the entranceway, speechless as Airomem pulled me aside for others to enter, my head craning to view the cavernous space within. Thousands of chairs arranged to face forward, crammed together to fit as many as possible into the confined space, with aisles that parted them into sections. And there, painted at the focal point of the room, was a uniformed man who stared at the crowd, waiting for them to settle. On his left pocket was a swirl of blue, green, and white that nearly matched the planet we now approached, and on his right was a bold number sewn on in white.
Fourteen.
"As we speak," said Airomem, beaming, her hand on my shoulder, "the Lear soldiers are combing your hallways, searching for any stragglers that may have become lost. And here, the Lear citizens await, to initiate the bond between our peoples. My father is welcoming them each into the departure vehicle and ensuring each is prepared for the final leg. This is what we were born for, Horatius. This is why we are here."
"This is our story," I responded. "The story of our ship, coming to a final end. The longest story I have ever known."
"And the best," she said, shaking Elliott's and Hannah's hands as they reached her. "Elliott, meet my father inside. It's only right that the two chiefs welcome our people together."
"Of course," he said, and Hannah spoke up next to him. "Yet again, Airomem, we owe you our lives."
"If only Pliny were here to see this," I said to myself, my stomach fluttering and heart rising as Ruth rushed forward, forming rapid signs with her hands before barreling into Airomem, who had bent over to respond in their language.
"We're here, we made it, we made it!" Ruth shouted, punching the air with one hand as Airomem laughed.
"You did," Airomem responded. "You are the true hero today, Ruth. The one who connected the ship. Now go on, head inside! We'll be right in to join you."
Then Tom was before Airomem, and he inclined his head in a bow.
"Of the chiefs Tom has known," he said, "you are the one Tom chooses to serve."
"Well, I'm not quite a chief yet – it's still my father – but I am most honored, Tom. Go on inside; we will be there shortly."
He rose his head to meet her eyes, then past her eyes and behind me as his mouth opened.
"No," he said, his voice low, just as I felt something crash against my shoulder and push me into him. I turned, searching, jerking away when I found two wide-open eyes staring back at me. Unblinking. With dried blood matted in the hair above them, and the teeth knocked away under lips that had been carved from the face. And underneath, where the neck and body should have been, there was only a stump with shreds of skin still attached.
The decapitated head bounced away from me and against the wall, and I identified it as one I had only seen once before.
Esuri, chief of the Aquarians.
And from the end of the hall, there was a laugh. A shrill one, coming from a twitching chest, streaking away from a face with a long scar that had just appeared through the door.
"Princess!" shouted Sitient as others crawled through the door behind him. "The reign of the Lear has ended. Your head will join Esuri's!"
"Soldiers, to me!" shouted Airomem as the swarm around Sitient thickened, bodies already covered in blood and writhing in weightlessness, summoned by his maniacal laughter. She twisted to shout again towards the Lear behind her, and her face fell as she saw the dozen rushing her way, stun guns at the ready.
"The rest are still in the search party," she breathed, eyes widening as she turned back towards the gathering swarm around Sitient. Then she eyed the nearby Lear citizens and spoke quickly.
"Sound the alarm, shout into the tunnels! We'll need as much help as we can get! See if any soldiers are inside the departure vehicle and bring them out, and make sure anyone not in the military is ushered inside."
"Of course," squeaked one and departed, soaring as quickly as she could and narrowly missing the soldiers that had just arrived.
"You twelve," said Airomem, her words coming as quickly as she could think, "we'll need to form a bottleneck defense as best we can, to hold them off. It's just like on our end of the ship – they will only be able to have three abreast to attack. Without gravity, we'll have to defend the top and bottom of the hallway – I want half of you upside down, now, and stay that way. Two rows deep and behind me. When they charge, so do we, and we hold for as long as we can! We cannot let them reach the departure vessel or it will be a massacre."
"Let me help," I said, moving forward, but Airomem held out a hand.
"They'll need you, Horatius, when they reach the planet. We can't afford to risk your life, to lose centuries of culture from your side of the ship, and since you've never fought, you would prove more harm than help. But me – without me, my father can still lead."
I shut my mouth, knowing there was little I could do to refute her statement. Even armed with a stun gun, I knew little of defense, and a hole in their ranks would only leave more area for them to defend.
"Then give me your cutter," I said. "Let me help somehow. I know I can think of something!"
Her eyes on Sitient, her hand went to her belt, and unfastened the Omni-cutter before handing it to me.
"Be careful with it," she said. "What you cut cannot be brought back together. One slice in the wrong place, one opening to the outside, could mean your instant death."
"I will," I replied. "And, Airomem, look at me. You deserve to be on that planet more than any of us. Don't do anything stupid."
"Stupid seems to be working out for me lately," she said, snapping to attention as Sitient and his horde started pushing off the wall towards us. "Think quickly, Horatius. Now, soldiers, for the Lear, for all your ancestors worked for, for your friends and your family – prepare to charge!"
"For the Lear!" the soldiers shouted in unison, then stiffened into formation. Two of them exchanged glances, a young man and woman whose hands were clasped together, stealing a quick hug and kiss. Then the man leaned closer to whisper in the woman's ear, and they shared a bitter smile as well as a small nod. And readied to launch themselves like an arrow into the oncoming horde.
"Tom, with me!" I shouted as the Lear and Agrarians prepared to accelerate towards each other. "Quick!"
We rushed towards the back of the corridor as I wracked through my thoughts, working for possibilities. There were plenty of tools back near the fields, but those were too far. The battering ram was gone, moved somewhere in the tunnels by the Lear. There was the power room, but without power, there was nothing I could actually control with it. But there must be something else, something we could use as a weapon.
And just before we left the bridge, my eyes fell upon the open door that had once sealed away the hallway.
Maybe we didn't need a weapon. Instead, we needed a plug.
"Tom, hold the door open!" I shouted, my voice frantic as I examined the hinges and frame. Without the frame, the door itself was just smaller than the size of the hallway, perhaps giving three inches grace on each side. Around us, Lear citizens shouted into the darkness, their voices shaking my concentration.
"The bridge! To the bridge! Attack on the bridge!"
Just feet away, a boy was zigzagging up and down the hallway, holding a box with a stun gun plugged into it that wailed louder than any human could, interspersing his own shouts in the lulls. And deep in the hallways, blue lights flickered as Lear soldiers rushed back to protect their people.
"Tom," I said, turning back to the door, my hands shaking, "I'm cutting through the hinges. I need you to keep this steady."
"Let Tom cut," he said, holding out his hand.
"No, Tom," I said. "One slip-up with this, if I cut to the exterior, then we are as good as dead."
"Tom didn't die when Airomem cut through," he responded. "Tom saw it."
"That's because the doors automatically seal when the pressure difference is high enough," I said. "We don't have that advantage, especially since we are removing this door."
Biting my lip, I clicked the cutter on, flinching as its white light battled blue for my field of vision. In a single swipe, I cut the top set of hinges, my eyebrows shooting upwards at the complete lack of resistance from the metal.
One down, two more to go.
The middle set was just as easy, and I prepared for the bottom, the only part that still held the door in place, when I heard a shout reverberate down the hallway.
"Charge!"
Five or six more Lear had made it to Airomem before her party drove themselves toward Sitient. Though vastly outnumbered, they filled the gap, their blue lights blazing like a shooting star towards the scattered stun guns, knives, and outstretched hands of the enemy. Screams erupted from the Agrarians, screams of hunger and anger that vibrated in tune with my bones, but failed to falter the Lear as Airomem led the pack, diving with her stun guns to split the assault.
And instants before the sides crashed together, the two soldiers that had nodded at each other before the charge reached forward, each taking hold of one of Airomem's ankles. Together, they ripped her backwards as she screamed with surprise, the group of soldiers forming a small hole for her to pass through as she flew backwards away from the collision to safety.
"For the Lea –" was the last sound the soldiers made, their voices raised in unison, their bodies stretched wide to prevent passage, their weapons bared, their courage forced upon their faces.
Then the Agrarians slammed into them, and the noise of screams and crumpling bodies rifled down the hallway.
I'd seen blood in my life, and injuries. But I've never seen blood spray like a water from a dropped cup, or bodies shredded like cooks pulling apart squash in the kitchen. And despite their bravery and their skill, there was no hope for the Lear as they were torn to shreds.
But that didn't stop them.
Long after their arms should have stopped working, they sliced forward with the stun guns, incapacitating as many of the Agrarians as they could. They formed their bodies into human shields when they could do no more, grasping each other to make passage as difficult as possible. Especially the couple, whose knuckles were white as they clenched each other's hands, both from force and lack of blood.
Tearing my eyes away, I finished the final cut to the door's hinges, and Tom pushed it through into the hallway. Behind us, the blue lights of soldiers had grown so close to hear them buzzing, and ahead, the Agrarians had lost momentum trying to fight through the bodies.
"Incoming, make way!" I shouted, turning the door sideways and pushing it to the left, such that bodies could fit through on the right. And with Tom's steady hand, we raced down the hallway as the blue lights gained on us, and Sitient's bloody head broke through the sacrificed soldiers.
And Airomem alone stood before him.

FLESH "Flesh" /CD/
Band: FLESH
Product Code: PRC57
You will get bonus-scraps: 9
The debut full-length studio album by Serbian Heavy Metal band.
Started in 2004 in Zagreb, Flesh are the 80s revisited Heavy Metal band, and it's done absolutely right!
It's always a pleasure to find an outstanding, genuine band that plays the tunes with conviction, that sounds legitimate and from the heart. Flesh is that band, and although they did not re-invent the whole genre, they are excellent musicians who can definitely play their instruments and write the type of tunes that we, true Metal fans, all loved and cherished 3 decades ago... and definitely still enjoy today.
Flesh is taking influence from Judas Priest and Accept, among other things, but is not trying to sound like a revival band as they strive to add their own sound to their brand of true, classic Heavy Metal music. Support this band because they really do deserve it!
PRC Music, 2014 (PRC57). Made in Canada. First press.
1. Flesh & Blood 3:49

Teamwork is the answer
By Tim Turnbeaugh
In an episode of one of my favorite childhood cartoons "Masters Of The Universe," He-Man's magical sidekick, a wizard named Orko finds himself in a jam when he makes clones of himself so he can perform a certain magic trick for the King and Queen of Eternia but then he and his clones start to argue and no one can come to an agreement on how to do the trick. Finally, Prince Adam (He-Man's alter ego) quitens them down and says "When things go bad, teamwork's the answer," Orko and his clones get in a huddle and after a little discussion, they all perform the magic trick together.
Anyone in the entertainment business knows how important several people working together is. If you've ever heard a good band like The Beatles or Rolling Stones, you'll know that each individual musician is depending on each other to produce a sound pleasing to the ear. I mean, would you buy a record with 30 minutes of nothing but Ringo Starr banging on the drums or Mick Jagger singing a cappella? I sure wouldn't. Working together doesn't stop there because when these big name musicians go out in public to perform, they have to have a driver to get them where they need to go, a crew to haul all those big speakers, lights, stage, etc. into the place where they're booked, someone to sell T-shirts and albums, someone to let the public know they're in town, the list goes on.
The main thing about working as a team is that everyone depends on each other. One person not helping could result in a disaster, I learned this lesson the hard way when I was in my college orchestra. We were entertaining at a school dinner and after we were through, I go put my guitar up then just stand around talking with people when everyone else is taking down our equipment, one of our guys pulled me aside and said "In this group, everyone helps set up and everyone helps take down" and once I started to pitch in and help, I began to notice how everyone was able to get everything put up and loaded a lot faster.
Of course, when you hear the word "team" you automatically think of sports and this also calls in the old phrase "There is no 'I' in 'TEAM' " and that is so true. You wouldn't turn on the TODAY show and hear the announcer's booming voice saying "This Just In: Troy Aikman has won the Super Bowl" or "Nolan Ryan won the World Series." Of course you wouldn't because the recognition goes to the entire team, which gives everyone relief that as a group, they all worked together, made something good happen, and now, they're reaping the benefits of it.
I've recently started a new journey here in town as a busboy at a local restaurant (Yes, I still do music. Don't worry, I could never quit that) and on my first day, I walked in scared to death, thinking it was gonna be one of those "Well, if Tim doesn't do it, it won't get done" kind of jobs but I was amazed at how everyone in the building depended on each other.
If I have to clean up a big table and can't do it all by myself, some of the waitresses will step in and help. In return, if a waitress needs something, sometimes I have to jump in and help. I complemented one of our waitresses last week about this and told her I appreciated the help, she gave me a quote that I use as motivation to get the job done no matter how hectic things get: Teamwork makes dreamwork.
There is a Classic Rock song that says these words: United, we stand. Divided, we fall. Come on now, people, let's all get on the ball and work together. So if you really want to accomplish something that seems impossible but can't do it alone, call some friends, assemble a team, and make it happen because to rephrase the words of Prince Adam and my co-worker, when things go bad, teamwork is the answer and that's what really makes a dream work.

Groupama are preparing to split from the leading pack in a bid to protect their second place on the overall race leaderboard, as a light wind zone close to Miami threatens to shuffle the fleet positions over the next 48 hours.
After two weeks of racing on Leg 6, PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG continue to lead the fleet into the final 650 nautical miles as Team Telefónica and CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand slug it out for second place.
However, according to race meteorologist Gonzalo Infante, a high pressure system blocking the way to the finish could cause compression in the standings as early as Monday morning -- putting the top three teams under pressure and potentially throwing a lifeline to fourth placed Groupama sailing team.
Infante says the high will dissipate over the next 48 hours but prior to that the teams will need to choose between diving inside the Turks and Caicos Islands or crossing the centre of the light wind area by taking a more northerly track.
At 1300 UTC today PUMA had pulled out a 38.8 nm lead over second placed CAMPER who had edged back ahead of Telefónica by just 0.2 nm. Meanwhile, fourth and fifth placed Groupama and Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing -- 121.6 nm and 163.6 nm off the lead respectively -- were lining up to split from the leading three and pass west of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Groupama watch captain Damian Foxall said the French team were treading a fine line in their bid to catch up.
"The Caribbean Islands create their own areas of light wind and patches to avoid," he said. "The trade winds have re-established very lightly just where we are and depending on the time of day there's either a little bit more wind to leeward or to weather.
"We've still got a lot of work to do to get back to the lead boats, but we're sailing a slightly different course to the others and you might see a split in the next 24 hours.
Foxall's opposite number on Telefónica, Neal McDonald said the situation was becoming increasingly tense despite some pleasant sailing conditions.
"The whole race could easily turn inside out overnight," McDonald said today.
"Once you get into the parking lot, just a small separation could make a huge difference -- one boat could have no wind while another could have two or three knots more. Within hours the gaps that we have at the moment could be closed down. We have to be very careful; it's a very tricky situation coming up over the next few days.
McDonald said the Spanish team's 16-point cushion in the overall standings meant they could adopt a cautious approach to the remaining part of Leg 6 and would be avoiding any radical tactical gambits.
Latest estimates suggest the leading boats will arrive in Miami on May 9, where the Downtown Miami Race Village opens to the public today, ahead of tomorrow's official opening ceremony.


Waiting for Myrtle Beach foreclosures to become available isn't the only way you can make money in real estate. There are better and more profitable alternatives – including foreclosure short sales and 'discounted for sale' by owner properties.
What are Myrtle Beach Foreclosures Short Sales and For-Sale-By-Owner Sales?
A foreclosure short sale is basically a sale made when the owner of the Myrtle Beach property could no longer continue paying for the mortgage. Aside from foreclosure – which would most likely occur, another potential option is a foreclosure short sale. Because a short sale definitely has a shorter process than a foreclosure, plus the homeowner could move on without scathing his credit records, it is often more favored by the individuals involved.
When the mortgage lender refuses a Myrtle Beach foreclosures short sale, the last resort of the homeowner to avoid a foreclosure proceeding is to put the property in a for-sale-by-owner offer. Unlike foreclosure short sales, this other option doesn't need approval from a mortgage lender. The homeowner can decided whether or not to proceed with this method of sale on his own without being required to seek approval from the other parties involved.
While foreclosed properties could easily be spotted, it is not the same with properties at risk of foreclosure. Plus, perfect timing is critical in the success of a foreclosure short sale or for-sale-by-owner transaction. The homeowner should be approached appropriately to achieve your highest potential for success.
Below are several strategies a homeowner may exercise before his property is included in the list of Myrtle Beach foreclosures and how you should approach each homeowner.
1. Reinstate the home mortgage loan – Homeowners who often opt to reinstate their mortgage loans are those who have become unemployed but are continuously looking for a job. These individuals expect to have a more stable income, in the future, to pay off their new mortgage. Handle these homeowners with maximum caution as they are likely to change course when their lender agrees to a renegotiated mortgage.
2. Modify the current mortgage – Those homeowners who have become delinquent in paying for their home loans due to an unexpected temporary financial conflict could renegotiate with their mortgage lender and request a loan modification. This will greatly help the homeowner get back on track and continue paying for his mortgage. Unfortunately, this option may not be known by most homeowners, so you can mention this to the homeowner and help them avoid foreclosure. Otherwise, they would be left with a foreclosure short sale or 'for sale by owner' as a last resort.
There are many ways to avoid foreclosures. Some may favor your goals, giving you a good real estate investment deal, while others favor the homeowner as they're given a chance to walk away with their credit record intact and without any major problems.

Q: drawing outside client area, winAPI How would I draw outside the client area of a window, and on the title bar. I know it can be done, but I am unsure of how to implement this effectively. Think google chrome, where the tabs are on the title bar.

A: When Windows asks you to draw the portion of the window that is outside your client area, it will send you an WM_NCPAINT message. Handle that message and draw whatever you want the non-client portion of your window to be. See the page I linked for an example of how to get a device context you can draw upon.

A: It may be worth mentioning WM_NCHITTEST also, if you plan on customizing where non-client elements are located.

Marrying the two worlds of luxury and technology, Vertu's aim is simple: to create the extraordinary. To guarantee that every product they make meets their uncompromising standards and their customers' high expectations.
A leading luxury mobile phone manufacturer, Vertu offers a unique proposition to high net worth customers across the globe, with key markets in China, Russia and the Middle East. The brand prides itself in perfectly combining hand craftsmanship and quality materials with high performance technology and curated services such as Vertu Concierge – 24-hour worldwide assistance with recommendations and priority bookings. Every Vertu product is handmade by a single craftsman in England but the brand is available globally, via dedicated boutique outlets, distributors and through concessions in duty free.
For such a prestigious brand, offering a consistently high level of service across all of the touchpoints its customers interact with is absolutely key. Customer feedback is essential to delivering on this goal and continually improving on the customer experience.
ORC International worked with Vertu in 2015 to design and set up a programme which would enable them to track customer experience across 6 of their key customer touchpoints: Store, Vertu.com, Handsets, Concierge Service, Vertu Contact Centre and Repairs.
The very nature of the hard to reach audience – time poor and highly mobile – presented the main challenge with the research, so a dual methodology online and telephone survey programme was developed to help maximise response. The research was conducted with customers across the world, but the majority are based in China, Russia, Middle East and Western Europe, so customers were offered the option of participating in 4 languages: Mandarin, Russian, Arabic and English. The survey runs continuously, to ensure feedback is captured as soon as possible after a customer's interaction.
The results are aggregated and reported via a bespoke online reporting portal designed and managed by ORC. The ongoing results are used tactically by each of the Vertu business areas, with 'red flag' alerts being triggered to corresponding business owners as soon as a low satisfaction score is given. Each alert is followed up by Vertu as a mechanism to "rescue" its unhappy customers.
The programme has highlighted some regional differences in the in-store customer experience and the repairs process. By comparing experiences around the world, Vertu has been able to identify best practice in these areas and is implementing a localised change programme, as well as global training.


Shone's anomaly is a very rare congenital cardiac malformation characterized by four serial obstructive lesions of the left side of the heart (i) Supravalvular mitral membrane (ii) parachute mitral valve (iii) muscular or membranous subaortic stenosis and (iv) coarctation of aorta. We report a unique presentation of Shone's complex in a 14-year-old adolescent male. In addition to the four characteristic lesions the patient had bicuspid aortic valve, aneurysm of sinus of valsalva, patent ductus arteriosus, ventricular septal defect, persistent left superior vena cava opening into coronary sinus and severe pulmonary artery hypertension. This case report highlights the importance of a strong clinical suspicion of the coexistence of multiple congenital cardiac anomalies in Shone's complex and the significance of a careful comprehensive echocardiography.
Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that causes abnormalities of the upper limbs and heart. It is seen in 1:1, 00, 000 live births. It is linked to a single-gene TBX5 "protein-producing" mutation with gene map locus 12q24. Most commonly it is characterized by the cardiac septation defects and pre-axial radial ray abnormalities. We are reporting a case of HOS with aortic atresia which is a rare association.
Aims: We investigated the relationship between coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and measures of left ventricular diastolic function (DD). Methods: We included 429 consecutive patients (39% women; mean age 49 ± 12 years) without known CAD, who underwent CCTA and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 1-month. Evaluation of CCTA was per vessel, and per segment basis for intraluminal diameter stenosis. We also used the 16-segment model to determine overall coronary plaque burden with segment involvement score (SIS). DD on TTE was assessed using mitral inflow E wave-to-A wave ratio (EAR) and tissue Doppler early mitral annual tissue velocity axial excursion. Results: A total of 293 (68.4%) patients had DD, 15.4% had more than stage 2 DD. The presence of DD was associated with increasing CACS (P < 0.001). Similarly, there was a statistically significant correlation between EAR and CCS (r = −0.147, P = 0.004) and SIS (r = 0.536, P < 0.001). The prevalence of more than stage 2 DD was associated with higher prevalence of obstructive CAD (26.2% vs. 11.7%, P < 0.0001). In multivariable analyses, the independent predictors of more than stage 1 DD are the age (P < 0.001), and diabetes (P = 0.010), while the CACS and SIS were not independently associated with DD. Conclusion: Our analysis suggests that CACS, as well as CAD by CCTA, are not independently associated with measures of DD on echocardiography.
Multicentric cardiac myxoma is a rare syndrome; usually it is familial. We report a rare case of sporadic right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) myxoma in a 26-year-old female presenting to our hospital for the evaluation of sudden onset of dyspnea and left precordial pain attributed to the embolization of degenerating tumor fragments to the pulmonary artery (PA). The exact incidence of sporadic multicentric RA and RV myxoma presenting as acute pulmonary embolism is unknown as multicentric RA and RV myxoma are very rare. Myxomas presenting as pulmonary embolism is <10%. Majority of cardiac myxomas present as exertional dyspnea, chest pain, positional syncope, fever, weight loss and other constitutional symptoms. Any young patient presenting with acute onset dyspnea with multiple cardiac masses may have tumor embolization to the PA diagnosis with transthoracic echocardiography and high-resolution computed tomography of thorax, fast-tracks patient transfer for urgent cardiac surgery to prevent further embolization.
Background: The ischemic cascade has long been known to begin with diastolic dysfunction before detectable systolic abnormalities. The advent of speckle-tracking imaging and velocity vector imaging (VVI) has provided accurate and reproducible interpretation of systolic abnormalities in numerous disease processes; however, this imaging tool has been only recently been proposed for detecting diastolic abnormalities. Methods: We analyzed pre and poststress echocardiography images of ten patients using VVI. We calculated normalized strain time (NST) as the duration strain was at least 90% of the measured peak and subtracted pre and poststress NST to calculate prolongation of NST as a sign of diastolic dysfunction. These intervals were measured from left ventricular longitudinal cine images obtained from two and 4-chamber in five patients not only with a positive stress echocardiographic response but also anatomy confirmed by coronary angiography. They were then compared to five patients without coronary artery disease (CAD). Results: Differences in pre and poststress NST measured in the apical 4-chamber view were greater in CAD patients than without (40 ± 16 vs. 12 ± 19; P = 0.04). Conclusions: Significant diastolic abnormalities were detected using a semi-automated VVI analysis in the poststress recovery period. A prospective study is now required in a larger number of patients to correlate the development of diastolic strain abnormalities with extent and location of CAD.
Background: The most common causes of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in developing countries are rheumatic heart disease. The plasma level of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is known to increase with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Aim of the Work: To study BNP level as an index of symptoms and severity of chronic rheumatic MR. Patients and Methods: One hundred and forty patients with rheumatic MR and LV ejection fractions (EFs) of >55% underwent assessment of symptoms, transthoracic echocardiography, and measurement of BNP. Results: The level of BNP rose with increasing left atrium (LA) dimensions and volumes, LV dimensions and volumes, echocardiographic parameters of MR severity (width of the vena contracta, regurgitation jet area, effective regurgitation orifice area, and regurgitant volume), and E waves. Results: BNP was significantly higher in patients with severe MR compared with moderate and mild MR (P < 0.001), and using cutoff point of 61 pg/mL mm had 97% sensitivity and 89% specificity for predicting patients with severe MR (0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.9–1). BNP was significantly higher in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA III) compared with NYHA II, I and asymptomatic patients (P < 0.001) and using cutoff point of 53 pg/mL had 97% sensitivity and 87% specificity for predicting symptomatic patients with symptomatic MR (0.81, 95% CI 0.70–0.92). Conclusions: BNP level increase with increasing severity of rheumatic MR and are higher in symptomatic compared to asymptomatic patients, even in the presence of normal EF%.
Non-compaction of ventricular myocardium (NCVM) is a rare genetic disorder caused by intrauterine arrest of endomyocardial development. Left ventricle is the usual site of NCVM with very rare reports of isolated right ventricular non-compaction (IRVNC). We describe a case of asymptomatic IRVNC with unique EKG changes.
Despite the frequent occurrence of blunt chest trauma, associated cardiac injuries are relatively rare. The most common presentation of blunt cardiac injury is benign arrhythmia (e.g., sinus tachycardia), followed in decreasing frequency by increasingly severe arrhythmias and finally physically evident injuries to the heart muscle, the conducting system, cardiac valves, and/or coronary vessels. Here we present an unusual case of a patient who sustained a right coronary artery dissection and associated acute myocardial infarction following a motor vehicle crash.

Designed to challenge the established best products in the segment, the Chevrolet Trailblazer has been designed, engineered, executed, and validated to cater for a market segment that demands a vehicle with rugged sophistication. At the heart of this is the requirement for a vehicle that caters for a cross functional lifestyle and is equally at home in the city or the bush with the capability of handling the most challenging of road conditions with confidence. This comes together in the Trailblazer with exceptional performance, economy, and towing ability.
Rugged but sophisticated styling
"Rugged and sophisticated were the key words in the design brief for the Trailblazer," says Dagoberto Tribia, Design Director for GM do Brasil. "The Trailblazer had to be upscale in its style, function, and dynamics.
"The Trailblazer had to appear agile and athletic. It had to be powerful but nimble in an urban environment but also superbly capable in an off-road rock-climbing role. This had to be backed up by a high level of refinement, comfort and safety for the occupants."
The product that developed out of this brief has an athletic, agile stance, combined with clean styling lines and surface treatments for a bold but sophisticated exterior that visually reflects Chevrolet DNA in its proportions, posture, and powerful image.
The Trailblazer draws attention with its unmistakeable Chevrolet dual-port grille and its three-dimensional honeycomb mesh backing. This keynote Chevrolet frontal treatment is complimented by a dramatic power-dome hood offset by high-mounted headlamp clusters. Together these elements provide a strong face for the vehicle. Tasteful chrome embellishments in the grille surround, door handles, mirror covers, and lamp clusters provide an air of sophistication.
A spear-like embossed styling line runs from wheel to wheel along the lower side of the Trailblazer to assist in breaking up the expansive surface area of the side of the vehicle and accentuates the athletic 'body-in, wheels-out' styling. Wrap around glass at the rear of the vehicle masks the area of the 'C' pillars, an area that would normally be dominated by body colour sheet metal. This wraparound glass treatment blends the side on view with the squared off rear of the vehicle for a clean sophisticated look that adds volume to the upper rear portion of the vehicle silhouette.
The Trailblazer has an overall length of 4 878mm, a width of 1 902mm and a height of 1 848mm, dimensions that provide the framework for a spacious interior with seating for seven adults. The wheelbase of 2 845mm and front/rear track of 1 570/1 588mm respectively provide for excellent handling and sure-footed stability on- or off-road.
When the going gets rough there is little that will faze the Trailblazer with its ground clearance of 267mm (with 18″ wheels) and high approach and departure angles – 31 degrees at the front and 26 degrees at the rear courtesy of short front and rear body overhangs.
With its generous proportions the Trailblazer has the presence of a full-size SUV that belies its mid-size classification. This is accentuated by the clever use of styling lines, angles and visual design elements rather than moulded inserts and claddings for a clean, uncluttered look. The overall impression is one of clean sophistication without any hint of the Trailblazer being 'over-bodied'.
Rugged but sophisticated feel
The Trailblazer design and styling team has successfully carried the theme of 'rugged but sophisticated' through to the interior of the vehicle. Class leading exterior dimensions have been put to good use in creating a spacious interior with flexible seating for seven adults that can be easily tailored to varying passenger/load-carrying requirements. Load space ranges from 205 litres with all seats upright, to a massive 1 830 litres with seats folded flat.
The seven passenger seating configuration, with all seats suitable for adults even on long journeys, offers intuitive three-row tumble and / or fold flat versatility with best-in-class third row seat space. The second row of seats has a 60/40 split with a single latch, forward tumble, fold-flat mechanism. Back rests can be reclined by up to six degrees for added passenger comfort. An integrated folding armrest with dual cup-holders is provided for the second row of seats.
The third row of seats is split 50/50 with the two seats separated by a storage console. These seats also have a fold flat capability that is easily activated by simply pulling on an easy-access strap in an intuitive action.
Conscious of passenger comfort and the need for all passengers to fully experience their surroundings, both inside and outside of the vehicle, the Trailblazer interior design team adopted a 'theatre-style' seating arrangement for the second and third rows of seats. This is achieved by raising the seat height in these two rows without compromising head room to provide better all-round vision for occupants without any tendency towards claustrophobia that can be experienced in some SUV's, particularly in the rearmost seating positions.
The interior design draws heavily on Chevrolet styling DNA with its keynote dual cockpit design. The flowing instrument panel incorporates continuous lines that run gracefully through the front doors to create a 'floating wing' effect that emphasises the wrap around nature of the cockpit. This treatment also emphasises the spaciousness of the interior with the Trailblazer boasting front shoulder room, headroom and seat height that is at the top of its class.
Aside from being visually appealing, the wraparound cockpit treatment provides the opportunity to optimise ergonomics with the driver positioned optimally for the task at hand. All major controls are placed at strategic and intuitive locations within easy reach of the driver. Steering wheel mounted controls for a number of functions enhance ease of operation without the need to take one's hands off the steering wheel.
Contrasting trim is used with leather coverings in premium specification models and high quality cloth for lower specification levels. Dual grained surfaces used on the instrument panel impart a quality feel. The interior ambience is topped off at night, or in low light, by Chevrolet's signature 'ice-blue' LED backlight illumination that provides high definition for the various displays, controls, and instrument cluster.
Conscious of the Trailblazer's role as a long distance touring vehicle with a potential bias towards rural adventure motoring the interior design team provided an abundance of storage space within the vehicle. Some 32 individual compartments of varying size are located throughout the interior. Prime amongst these is a covered centre storage bin and a large dual glovebox. Another unique storage area is one large enough to accommodate a jumbo-sized golf bag, this one placed horizontally on the side of the luggage area to free up space for regular luggage.
Other useful amenities include auxiliary 12 volt power points and both USB and Bluetooth connectivity through an infotainment system with premium sound quality. A separate HVAC (Heat, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) control is mounted in the roof of the rear compartment to provide rear seat passengers with separate control over their own ventilation flow.
Power to match
With the requirement for rugged sophistication satisfied a further pre-requisite for the Trailblazer to ensure that it met the highest of performance projections was a range of latest technology engines capable of providing the power, torque and economy expected of a class leading vehicle.
Depending on regional market requirements the Chevrolet Trailblazer is offered with a choice of 2,5 litre or 2,8 litre Duramax diesel engines or a 3,6 litre V6 petrol 24-valve engine with dual overhead camshafts and full four-cam phasing (variable valve-timing) for optimised engine performance and economy.
The 2,5 litre Duramax diesel engine produces maximum power of 110 kW with peak torque of 350 Nm while the 2,8 litre Duramax engine delivers 132 kW with 470 Nm of torque when mated to the six speed automatic transmission and 440 Nm of torque when coupled to the manual 5-speed transmission. Fuel consumption for the combined cycle has been measured as low as 8,2 l/100km for the 2,5 litre diesel and 8,8 l/100km for the 2,8 litre manual diesel. When supplied with the automatic transmission option fuel consumption for this higher torque model is an estimated 9,8 l/100km for the combined cycle.
Both of these modern diesel engines are four-cylinder in-line engines with double overhead camshafts and an aluminium cylinder head designed to optimise combustion for enhanced power and efficiency with a reduced tendency for engine knock to occur. Both engines are Euro 4 emissions compliant and make use of high-pressure (1600 bar) common rail fuel injection systems with turbo charged and intercooled induction systems. The 2,8 litre Duramax engine is fitted with a variable geometry turbo charger for optimal power and efficiency across a wide engine speed range. A balance shaft, integrated into the oil pump, acts to reduce engine NVH on the 2,8 litre engines.
A feature of both of these latest technology engines is their high specific output together with low emissions. A high efficiency exhaust gas recirculation cooler (EGR) channels unburnt exhaust gas back into the engine for a further burn cycle. The EGR works in tandem with a close-coupled Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). The DOC is maintenance free for the life of the vehicle and has, unlike most diesel exhaust catalysts, been designed to cope equally well with both low and high sulphur diesel fuels – an important feature when travelling in remote areas where the latest technology low sulphur diesel fuels are not always available.
The 2,5 litre engine option drives via a 5-speed manual transmission and two-wheel drive. The 2,8 litre diesel engine is available with either 5-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic transmissions, the latter featuring DSC or Driver Shift Control. There is a choice of either two- or four-wheel drive.
Where four wheel drive is chosen the torque is split between the front and rear wheels by a latest technology electronically actuated 2-speed transfer case. The part time four-wheel drive system offers a choice between two-wheel drive motoring (2H), high ratio four-wheel drive (4H), or low ratio four-wheel drive (4L) for when to going gets really tough. A neutral position is also provided. The mode required is selected via a rotary dial electronic switch mounted on the centre console immediately behind the gear shift lever. The transfer case can be shifted on-the-fly between 2H and 4H modes at speeds up to 100km/h.
For those that prefer petrol power Chevrolet offers the Trailblazer with a latest generation 3,6 litre, four-camshaft V6 engine with full cam phasing for effective variable valve timing to optimise engine performance and operating economy over a wide engine speed range and in varying load conditions.
Employing a full range of up-to-the-minute engine technologies, from advanced casting processes to full four cam phasing of the valve timing, ultra-fast data processing, and torque based engine management, this compact V6 engine delivers an excellent balance between high specific output, high torque delivery over a wide engine speed range, superb fuel economy and low emissions. It achieves this together with low NVH and a package of exclusive durability-enhancing features and very low maintenance requirements.
This engine produces maximum power of 176 kW with peak torque of 329 Nm. It achieves this with remarkable fuel economy, consuming as little 11,9 l/100km in average usage.
The 3,6 litre V6 engine is mated to electronically controlled 6-speed automatic transmission with DSC (Driver Shift Control).
Rugged appeal matched by strength and durability
The advantages of Body-On-Frame architecture over unitary body construction when it comes to rugged SUVs designed to take on the full spectrum of off-road motoring conditions are well documented. Essentially a Body-On-Frame (BOF) architecture provides the vehicle with the inherent toughness associated with a light pick-up whilst providing opportunities for vehicle refinement and enhanced interior space utilisation.
In the case of the Trailblazer the BOF construction extends these advantages by allowing it to have a class leading towing capacity of up to 2950 kg (2,8 litre diesel). This level of towing capacity cannot be achieved on an SUV of monocoque construction in the same class, such as the Chevrolet Captiva.
Each architecture has its specific place amongst SUV buyers but it is generally acknowledged that a BOF vehicle will deliver a better overall off-road capability together with enhanced durability by virtue of the tougher construction of this type of vehicle compared to one of unitary construction. Essentially it's a case of horses for courses with each offering its own attraction to buyers.
For the Trailblazer Chevrolet has opted for a reinforced, fully boxed frame with inherent stiffness derived from the use of nine cross members. This nine cross-member configuration provides for a high level of torsional rigidity and is tougher and more durable than the more common chassis design using fewer cross members.
The enhanced stiffness contributes to better handling and overall vehicle stability. With less inclination to twist and flex under load, engineers have more scope to fine tune the suspension for optimum ride comfort, handling and off-road capability. The rigid nature of the Trailblazer frame also contributes to reduced NVH transmitted into the passenger area as engineers are able to focus on critical areas rather than be distracted by areas prone to chassis flex.
The sturdy frame of the Trailblazer provides the foundation for the vehicle's outstanding on- and off-road performance and its exceptional towing capability. By adopting a unique approach to the frame design the engineering team has delivered a vehicle that offers chassis tuning geared to deliver an unexpectedly comfortable ride together with excellent off-road performance and towing capability – a key differentiator in the market place.
Unquestionably robust, the Trailblazer offers a surprising level of comfort and refinement on the road, courtesy of its all-round coil-spring suspension and five-link independent rear suspension system. The incorporation of the advanced five-link system, as opposed to a more common four-link design, allowed the engineering team to refine the ride and handling characteristics with few, if any compromises.
In its simplest form, the five link suspension system of the Trailblazer is what engineers term orthogonal – essentially a system that makes it possible to alter and fine tune one parameter of the suspension at a time without impacting on anything else. This type of system, usually found only on more upmarket SUVs, allows the Trailblazer to negate typical characteristics of conventional BOF architecture SUVs that can impact negatively on overall ride comfort. The Trailblazer provides a best-in-class luxurious ride combined with excellent responsiveness and passenger car-like driving dynamics.
The advantages of the five-link suspension system coupled with coil springs extend to off-road driving. This system is able to flex more than conventional systems providing better articulation where the suspension is better able to keep the wheels in contact with the surface being negotiated, especially where severe angles are encountered, for maximum traction. Stabiliser bars are fitted front and rear to limit body roll and twin tube dampers on all four corners add to suspension damping refinement.
While the refined suspension system of the Trailblazer plays its part in keeping all the wheels in contact with the road in a stable and comfortable fashion, effectively stopping the Trailblazer is another area that received the attention of the engineers. All wheel disc brakes provide excellent retardation that provides that Trailblazer with top class braking performance in its segment. In tests conducted by the engineering team the Trailblazer slowed from 100 km/h to rest in under 50 metres.
A four-channel anti-lock brake system is standard with Dynamic Rear Brake Proportioning incorporated in the system. This ensures that an optimum braking force is applied to both front and rear axles for maximum stability under heavy braking.
Other driver aid systems featured on the Trailblazer include:
Traction Control System (TCS): Integrated with the all-speed four channel ABS system TCS combines both engine torque inputs and brake control to regulate wheel spin and loss of traction at all driving speeds for maximum driver control regardless of conditions. (not for 2.5 LT model)
Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA): This system uses a vacuum booster to increase braking pressure from the master cylinder when the driver applies sudden hard pressure to the brake pedal.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD): Regulates braking pressure front-to-rear to optimise stopping distance and vehicle control under all load conditions.
Panic Brake Assist (PBA): Senses an emergency braking situation by detecting the rate of brake application and boosts braking power as needed to bring the vehicle to a safe stop. This system potentially reduces stopping distance in an emergency by eliminating any delay caused by not braking hard enough, soon enough.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): Assists the driver in maintaining vehicle control in severe conditions of yaw. A sensor detects movement around the vertical axis of the vehicle (yaw) and compares this to inputs from a sensor on the steering system that measures steering angle being applied. Inputs from these sources are used to modulate individual brakes and engine power to assist the driver in staying in control of the vehicle. (not for 2.5 LT model)
Systems included in the ESC system are: Engine Drag Control – prevents the driven wheels from locking due to the braking effect of the engine when there is a sudden lift off the throttle or a rapid downshift. Cornering Brake Control – activated when the vehicle is braked while cornering, brake pressure is independently varied at each corner to ensure stability. Hydraulic Brake Fade Assist (HBFA) – automatically raises braking pressure to compensate for brake fade under repeated heavy applications of the brakes. Hill Descent Control (HDC) – allows a smooth and controlled hill descent in rough terrain without the driver needing to touch the brake pedal. Hill Start Assist (HSA) – prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when pulling away on a steep uphill gradient. Engages when a gradient in excess of three percent is detected and acts to hold the vehicle stationery for two seconds after the brake is released to allow time for the throttle to be applied (not for 2.5 LT model) and works in reverse as well.
In addition to the comprehensive range of standard driver aids, the Chevrolet Trailblazer offers comprehensive airbag protection for occupants. Both the LT and LTZ trim levels feature airbag protection for the driver and front passenger as well as curtain side airbag protection for rear seat occupants.
Three-point lap and shoulder seat belts are provided for all seven seats. Adjustable head restraints are provided for all seven seating positions as well.
Anti-theft protection comes in the form of a transponder key ignition system that prevents unauthorised starting of the vehicle. Only the designated key will enable the ignition system. On both LT and LTZ specification levels an unauthorised entry alarm system is provided.
Delivering on the promise
The Chevrolet Trailblazer delivers on its promise of offering Rugged Sophistication in line with customer expectations for this class of vehicle. The package offers power, performance, economy in operation, versatility, refinement, toughness, durability, style, comfort and spaciousness in a well- rounded package. Add to this the unique heritage of the Chevrolet brand and the new Trailblazer presents itself as a top-of-the-class choice in the mid-size SUV market.

So after about 7 or 8 months the K1 Attack website is live again! The site was initially down because the host upgraded their servers and the old version of the site forum software wasn't compatible. Alex was looking in to it but eventually I offered to take over the site. This too took time because I'm in the middle of some bad personal issues but eventually I got my head wrapped around the site and decided to move it to be hosted directly with vbulletin. This means it will never go down due to any issues with compatibility. I do apologize to everybody for the long delay.
The good news is that the site is up and not going anywhere. Over the next few weeks I hope to fine tune the forum and do things like create headers etc. to make it look nice. I am now the admin of the site and not going anywhere anytime soon. If you have questions, comments, suggestions, problems... send them to me. I hope to see our community grow with the continued growth of b-racing and more kits being sold.
Ok, so I fine tuned the forum's controls and a few other details but am looking for a volunteer to make it look pretty in terms of a header and other aspects of the design like colors. Let me know if you are interested and happy holidays!
This site's renewal is coming up. Due to low activity I'm wondering if it makes sense to continue paying the fees. In the past another member was paying these fees out of pocket. This responsibility has been passed to me. The current cost is about $200 annually. If anybody would like to contribute, please contact me.
I used to be in I.T. Why is it so much for hosting? Or are there other fees?
Well it is for everything, hosting, domain name and the forum software. There were a lot of problems with the vBulletin compatibility with servers and stuff so instead of buying the software and hosting it elsewhere I found that the best option was to host directly with them. This way all updates and stuff are automatic and there is never any issue with it going down. This site went down for close to a year because of these issues. That's when I took it over.
They were discontinued for some time but Petr from B-racing has taken over the rights and is offering kits again. He has been offering kits for a number of years now. The rest of the internet is either poorly informed or out of date. I have personally received parts from Petr.

Citi Sports Flashback: Spurs collapse at home to Man United in 2001
Ahead of Manchester United's clash with Tottenham at Wembley on Sunday, January 13, 2019, Citi Sports editor, Nathan Quao, flies back in time to witness Man United's most famous Premier League victory at Tottenham Hotspur.
Starting lineups on the day:
Spurs: Neil Sullivan; Chris Perry, Ledley King, Dean Richards, Mauricio Taricco; Darren Anderton, Steffen Freud, Gus Poyet, Christian Ziege; Les Ferdinand, Teddy Sheringham
Man United: Fabien Barthez; Gary Neville, Laurent Blanc, Ronny Johnsen, Dennis Irwin; David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Juan Sebastian Veron; Andrew Cole, Ruud Van Nistelrooy
The year is 2001 and as a 15 year-old Manchester United fan, going to Tottenham (via the television) gave me a nervous feeling always.
Even when they were not a top four side then, there was a certain aura around Tottenham and I always told myself in the one million conversations I had in my head that the North London side was good and they played positive football.
So, facing them on that September day was going to be a tough one.
My worst fears came true when they took the lead through a Dean Richards header in the 15th minute.
The culprit was Nicky Butt who had been a bundle of nerves all game. He gave a free kick away and then, was part of the gang that conceded a corner and then, he and the rest of the team were duly rewarded for poor play.
Ten minutes later, there was more pain. Man United's midfield was turned over easily and a Gustavo Poyet pass released Les Ferdinand and he was one on one against Fabien Barthez.
The outcome was already apparent. 2-0 to Tottenham.
Poyet had been scoring against Man United as a Chelsea player and here he was, assisting against Man United.
I was shocked. I was gripped with fear. I felt so horrible. But Spurs did not seem to care.
On the stroke of half time, Christian Ziege met a lovely cross from the right wing to head the ball past Barthez. 3-0 to Spurs.
Everything that could go wrong for Manchester United went wrong.
There was utter chaos about the display. Players were sluggish. Passes lacked no direction and it was as though Spurs were the only ones on the pitch in that half.
Half time came and went and the second half got on.
What really did I expect? For starters, a better Man United performance and a goal to boot just for some pride. Nothing major. When you are 15, you do not ask for much.
However, it turned out that Manchester United had plans of making the day one that would stay in history forever.
Andrew Cole headed home a Gary Neville cross in the 46th minute. 3-1.
12 minutes later, Laurent Blanc put in another header for Man United from a corner. 3-2.
Were Spurs crumbling? Were they powerless in the face of the spirit of 'comebackability' that often possessed Manchester United?
Then, I did not care. Nothing made sense. All I wanted was one more goal for Man United to even the score.
And that goal came from Ruud Van Nistelrooy in the 72nd minute and guess what? It was a header. 3 headers Spurs could not deal with. I was buzzing.
At this point, one of two things could happen.
Either Man United would go on to win or Spurs would steady the ship and get a draw. They did not look like they would get all three points on the day.
They were shocked. Rattled. Stunned.
But Man United did not have any compassion whatsoever. The onslaught continued.
4 minutes after Van Nistelrooy scored, a good passing sequence in midfield sent Juan Sebastian Veron free and he fizzed a shot into the Spurs net. 4-3 to Man United.
The exclamation mark was added to that emphatic footballing sentence when David Beckham, the recipient of a pass from Ole Gunnar Solksjaer (remember him? The caretaker at Man United now), sliced his shot into the Spurs net. 5-3.
Man United had come from 3-0 down to win at White Hart Lane.
Sir Alex Ferguson had done a number on Glenn Hoddle in the most extraordinary manner.
Fast forward to 2018 and Man United go to Spurs again this weekend.
But times have changed. Spurs are a better team now and they possess the tools to give any top side massive problems. Man United will be in for a very difficult afternoon at Wembley.
However, if there is anything that Ole Gunnar Solksjaer can show to his players to get them revved and inspired for their test at Wembley, it is the tape of Man United's Premier League clash at Spurs in September 2001.
It could just be the needed inspiration for a great display.
For the game on January 13, 2019, though, if you want to be a part of the fun, tune in to Citi 97.3 FM for live commentary at 4pm as part of the station's coverage of the Premier League.
