Perhaps unexpectedly, enthusiasts will find things to like about the Volt, even if they don’t hack into its computer. But it illustrates the difference between the Volt and the Toyota Prius or even the more powerful Ford Fusion Hybrid. Rest assured, creative gearheads will get into the Volt’s programming as soon as the car falls into their hands, with the guaranteed result being garish burn-out videos posted on YouTube within days of the car going on sale in November. Its electric motor is so powerful that the car is programmed not to use all of the power available when abruptly accelerating from a stop because it could simply spin the car’s tires. The Volt, in contrast, stays in electric mode until the battery pack is drained. Today’s hybrids instantly fire the gas engine if the driver floors the pedal because their electric motors don’t make enough power to accelerate quickly in an emergency. Result: Anyone can get into the Volt and drive. (Photo by Bill Pugliano/Getty Images) Bill Pugliano / Getty Images North America GM announced that they will invest $336 million to build the new Chevrolet Volt extended range electric vehicle at the plant. DETROIT - DECEMBER 7: The interior of a Chevy Volt is shown at the General Motors Detroit Hamtramck Assembly Plant Decemin Detroit, Michigan. A conventional console shifter slides between the common “Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, Low” positions, and the “gas” pedal and brake perform their usual functions. The car powers up with the increasingly common keyless “start” button on the dash. The driver doesn’t wave a magic wand or operate some unfamiliar control device to drive the Volt there is no steering-by-joystick or other silly interface. In anticipation of the approaching launch of the car, GM provided a hand-built Volt prototype for a test drive around the former American Le Mans Series race track adjacent to Washington’s RFK stadium. So far, California, Michigan and the Washington D.C., area are the only announced markets where the car will be sold, but Volt sales will open up to the rest of the country next year. Those early cars will be offered only in limited markets which the company feels are prepared to support the special requirements of an electric car, Posawatz said. It will begin slowly, making preproduction models that will be evaluated for their quality and provided as test models for journalists and fleet customers through the Summer and Fall.īy November, GM will be ready to switch to high gear and begin mass production of cars for retail sale to regular consumers. The rest of the manufacturing supply chain is coming together so the factory will start assembling cars within a few months, he said. The company began manufacturing battery packs to go into the cars in recent weeks. General Motors is gearing up now to manufacture the Volt beginning this spring, reported Tony Posawatz, Chevrolet Volt and global electric vehicle line director. ![]()

Where Can You Find A Slayer Helm In OSRS? It’s a pretty useful item to take with you through the mid to higher levels of your Slayer training, and most players should rush it right away. You can also imbue it through the Soul Wars or the Nightmare Zone to give you a 15% bonus to range and magic. However, it does carry the bonuses from the items used to create it, and allows you to do extra damage to and be protected from Slayer monsters. Additionally you take a hit to your bonuses for ranged and magic attacks while wearing this helm. Stats wise, it upgrades your defenses against stab, slash, crush, and ranged weapons while lowering your defense to magic. The Slayer Helm is a helmet, worn on the head that provides bonuses based on what Slayer equipment you combined to create it. It’s not that hard, just take a look at our Slayer guide that will give you this wonderful helm that will help you look stylish at the Slayer Tower and slay enemies like a metal dragon. Still, if you’ve got your heart set on a Slayer Helm, then you are in luck! We’ve outlined all the steps you need to undertake to make it, and after some grinding and work, you will be able to create a helmet of your very own. In fact, with all of the armors and weapons littered around Gielinor, you might forget that you want to buy or craft a certain piece! The Slayer Helm (or Helmet) is a piece of headgear that requires some work to get, unlike the armor set you find in the game world. Select the correct sequence of words and Delrith will be sucked into a void.The Old School Runescape doesn’t have the graphics of newer machines and games, but that doesn’t mean that your character can’t roam around in style! Once he has been weakened enough, it will ask you for the incantation that you were told by Gypsy Aris earlier in the quest. Hence, they should be killed first in order to attack Delrith. Note: Although Delrith only has 7 Lifepoints, but players with low combat levels should be aware that the surrounding wizards are going to be aggressive against players with less than double their level plus an additional level. After the cutscene, kill Delrith using Silverlight. Walk into the center of the ruins, and a cutscene will happen. Stock up on some food, and head to the ancient ruins just south of Varrock. Take all 3 keys back to Sir Prysin in Varrock and he will unlock the case and give you Silverlight. Give him the bones and he will perform the ritual and give you the key. He will request 25 unnoted bones to perform a ritual so that he can get the key from his safekeeping. Take them to the second floor, and speak with Traiborn. Take your 25 bones in UNNOTED form, and head to the Wizards Tower, south of Draynor Village. Head down the northwest path until you reach a stream and you'll find the key underneath a pile of mud, next to some skeletons. Walk out of the east castle walls, and climb down into the manhole (if the manhole is closed, simply open the lid). Then, go outside, and use the bucket of water with the drain. Go back down stairs, and fill the bucket up with water, at the sink. Climb up the stairs, and pick up a bucket. Go back to the first floor, and head to the northeast side of the building. After a conversation he will agree to give the key to you. ![]() Walk to the northwest end of the castle, and climb to the third floor and speak to Captain Rovin in his room. One key is with Captain Rovin, one with Wizard Traiborn, and another, Sir Prysin accidently dropped down the drain. However, there are three keys needed to unlock the case in which the sword is held. Speak to Sir Prysin on the first floor of the castle, near the entrance and he tell you that his grandfather was Wally and that he has the sword in his possesion. To get Silverlight, The Gypsy tells you to go and speak with Sir Prysin in Varrock Castle. Make sure to write this down, as the incantation is different for each person. Important Note: She also tells you the incantation that Wally used to defeat the demon. She prophesies that you are the one that can defeat the demon, and save the city. She tells you that the demon is returning, and is going to attempt to destroy Varrock. She will tell you about an ancient demon, Delrith, who was defeated long ago by a a hero named Wally using the sword, Silverlight. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can outfit yourself with weights for $100 or $200 total. Again, to repeat, you don't need every single weight level, just the ones you need.įor cardio, I just run outside for free, which is pretty frugal, I hear. This is a lot more economical in the long run. Usually dumbells cost about $1 per pound, so you can buy a 25 pound dumbell for $25, and a 40 pound dumbell for $40, and so on. You don't have to buy a full range, just the ones you need. This way, you won't have a lot of dumbells lying around. You only need dumbells, and you only need to purchase one dumbell for the weight you need, and do one side at a time.

Remember: if you stop using the gym, that you need to remember to cancel the membership. It is great you tried to negotiate, this is very key skill in life in everything. Found a better alternative through my insurance, saved about $50 the first month and about $10 every subsequent month. TLDR Tried to negotiate a better rate with the gym manager without succeeding. ![]() So I ended up joining the gym paying about $55 less than what I originally was planning to pay. Instead, they offer this package called Active & Fit Direct, which basically has you pay $25 a month and you can go to ANY gym you want (that is in their policy). I had the wonderful idea to check my health insurance and see if they would reimburse any part of the gym fee. I guess it was either paying the $120 on the first month or nothing. After a week I came back and persisted, with no luck. I got there and spoke to the manager, but he wouldn’t give me a better price. I started reading online on how to negotiate the pricing and I was ready for it. They charged about $120 on the first month (initiation fee, first and second month, etc). I found this gym close to work, which would reduce my 40+ minute commute home due to rush-hour traffic.

![]() ![]() ![]() The writing prompts help the writer to create atmosphere, tension and twists and turns in their plot construction, all of which are important to writers in the fiction area. Fiction strategy includes the following elements: -Character development using familiar people as models for their characters -Twists and turns to surprise readers -Excitement and tense drama The writing prompts give writers sufficient information to be able to come up with stories and the angle that they approach their story writing from should always be left to the writer as an individual choice. This is particularly relevant in Twist in the Tail stories which lead to a surprising conclusion. As they progress, they will learn about how to incorporate: -Descriptions -Colors -Words that sound alike -Narrative -Atmospheres Since each page allows writers the space to write out their story in journal format, we would suggest that writers use a notebook to gather together ideas before writing, thus having a direction for the story. We encourage writers to take it a step further and conjure up their own ideas and make these come to life on the page. Throughout the book, different interests are covered and writers don't have to take the obvious route. Through the different subjects, writers are encouraged to use adjectives and to close their eyes and imagine the characters of their stories, so that they can present them in full color and with atmosphere to readers. There is a good variety of subjects and much is speculative, thus leaving the writer free to tackle the story in the manner he/she wants, although one section does encourage the use of first person narrative. Writers are encouraged to use their imagination to enjoy the challenge of writing stories on given topics. Each of the exercises is simple to follow and gives scope to the writer to follow their own style. It teaches writers, through writing each day of the year on a subject of their choice, how to use description, narrative and character development. This book has been written with the fiction writer in mind. ![]() ![]() Grand Trines can simply be too good and too much. The Grand Trine energy can take on a life of its own with the individual simply tagging along rather than being an active participant in life. While Trines can reveal where one's talents and comfort zones might be, Trines can also indicate where the individual might be lazy or uninvolved in conscious decisions. Grand Trines represent an opportunity granted with open and effortless flow of energy between the planets. The tendency of the Trine is harmony and flowing. Each aspect has its own highs and lows, and none are any better or worse than the other aspects. However, this wonderful reputation is not wholly deserved. Trines, and particularly Grand Trines, have a reputation for being positive and creative aspects. It is believed that a Grand Trine is, collectively, the purest expression of an element. Having a Grand Trine is similar to having a planet in a sign that it rules. The Grand Trine occurs when three planets are in the same element (Fire, Earth, Air or Water), while forming Trines to each other. ![]() As Budd says, they offer us an opportunity to bring our shadows into the light in order to heal.Element and Receptive Configurations (Part 2) While squares are challenging aspects, it's still important to acknowledge and work with them. "The result is that squares create resistance, frustration, and conflict, the more negative or dominant planet in the square usually exerting the more obvious influence." "Squares will often result in the planets in question showing their challenging or shadow sides rather than their easy, favorable sides to each other," she explains. "This is a very favorable placement, but if it is squaring Saturn or Mars, it will behave completely differently than if it was forming a trine to Jupiter," Budd offers as an example. The energies will clash because not only are the elements incompatible (water and air, for example), but the signs will also be under the same "modality" ( cardinal, fixed, or mutable), so there can be some competition there.Īs an example, someone could have Venus on their ascendant (rising sign). They form when planets are 90 degrees (three signs) apart. Squares are often considered the most difficult, uncomfortable, or challenging aspect in astrology. They help us grow, they help us learn, and they give us certain traits and skills that are uniquely valuable to our journeys here," she tells mbg. "But all conjunctions, even the challenging ones, serve a purpose in the life of a soul. ![]() ![]() While conjunctions are usually thought of as favorable, it can depend on the planets involved, according to Budd, who notes that conjunctions involving Venus or Jupiter are likely more beneficial than those involving Mars or Saturn, for instance. "An Aries person, for example, with Venus next to their sun will be profoundly different than an Aries who has Mars next to their sun (or no planets next to their sun)," she adds. "This is very important, as it can change the overall impact of that planet in a person's chart and life," Budd notes.įor example, if a person has Venus next to their sun, she says, this significantly influences their personality. ![]() When planets are conjunct, their energies blend, amplifying the themes associated with those planets and the sign they're in. With that in mind, here's a primer on the five major aspects you'll see on a chart and what they represent:Ī conjunction happens when two planets align with each other in the same sign (unless they are very near a cusp, the midway between two signs), close to the same degree, Budd explains, adding that exact conjunctions are the strongest. Awareness allows you to highlight your strengths and work through your weaknesses." "The benefit of understanding aspects, even just a little, is that you may be able to have compassion for your squares, oppositions, and conjunctions (and the impact they have in your life)," astrologer Kayse Budd, M.D., explains, adding, "With knowledge, you can attempt to make peace with the way you are. Aspects are also important when thinking about astrological compatibility between two people. We can identify these aspects within our own charts, but on a daily basis, the planets in the sky are always forming aspects, affecting the energy of the day. We'll get into what each means later on, but essentially, an aspect represents a relationship between two planets' positions relative to each other (i.e., Sun conjunct Venus).Īs astrologer and author of Queer Cosmos Colin Bedell explains to mbg, "Each relationship of an aspect talks to a particular theme-some that feel a little bit more tension, which can provide some opportunity for growth, and then other aspects can have a little bit more ease, which may offer some complementing energy." The five major aspects in astrology are conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions. ![]() |
