Yes, I definitely recommend this car. It's great
By Katy on Saturday, September 28, 2019I love my Cruz !! gas mileage is fantastic. The best I've gotten on the highway is 57.3 mpg. I get anywhere between 29 and 35.6 mpg and sometimes higher just around the beach and traffic. It's very comfortable on a trip, as I have low back problems, comfort is very important to me, because I'm on the road a lot , and of course gas mileage is my priority, as I travel 65 miles every day just to take my daughter to school, plus whatever else I need to do. I had a Mazda and it beats the Mazda by far in every way. It's a beautiful car and not to big or small. Great car Chevy, keep up the good work !!

Best vehicle I have ever owned from 15 to 73
By RAM on Sunday, December 08, 2019This so far has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. I purchased from the dealer as a lease return with 42,000 miles and no CARFAX issues. It "Susie" is stylish, quick, drives like a sports car (had MG once) with tight cornering and short turning radius. She is quiet and comfortable with all controls easily managed, great sound system, room for 4 more, fold down rear seat for long access items in the trunk. She has an alternate 1st and 2nd gear manual control, if you don't want auto on the start off. At 102,000 miles of city/highway it runs like new (regular maintenance at dealer and others when not convenient- primarily dealer, which has given me excellent service and watchful eyes ). My gas mileage is fabulous for me with usually 33 mpg ( I have a heavy foot when trying to get on freeway), as long as I don't sit and idle (28mpg). My best mileage has been 36. I track every gas fill-up by the mileage info-battery strength, tire pressure, etc. I drive highway to work about 36 miles and 36 return from a small town 4 days and I will return to the city to shop or visit 2 days. I have had no front end or suspension problems (aligned at 92,000 when new set of tires were installed-don't know if original tires were the same). A major issue was a leaking coolant component. The unit leaked abruptly and problem could only be detected when hot. At the time I was not accessible to the dealer and placed with reputable shop but they could not find the problem (again only noticeable when hot. Part was fatigued after long wear (online info available). I replaced brake pads at the dealer last oil change/inspection after over 100,000 miles. I always asked, "how are my brakes?" and the answer was always the same, "ok". I have cold air, hot heat, multiple adjustments available, great visibility and on...I would have purchased this car new, but needed a better deal at the time. My dad always bought Chevys and they were always dependable. I should have listened to dad in the past for I may have saved some money and grief.
Verify all options with dealership before purchase.

Sorry to say, JJ and TJ will not be making it. Going to miss the breakfasts with you Jeff.
When you aren't familiar with the area, it'd be difficult to find the RV Forum assembly area after dark. Currently we're the only ones here, arrived about noon today. We were in the Riviera RV Resort in Blythe last night, and it's a fairly nice place.
Larry I was wondering if your techs name is Jesse. Shaved head and seems knowledgeable.
Does anyone know directions coming from the South rather than the North? If I came from 8 rather than 10 how far North on 95 do I go before I find the camp?? Is there any reason I shouldn't take that route? I am coming from Tucson.

Canada adds more Russians to list of sanctions over Ukraine crisis
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird says Canada will impose economic sanctions and a travel ban on another 14 individuals involved in militant actions against Ukraine.
The new additions include Valery Vladimirovich Kaurov, the self-described president of the Republic of Novorossiya, who has called on the Putin regime to deploy troops to Ukraine.
Baird is urging Russia to stop the flow of arms and militants into Ukraine.
He says Moscow should abandon what he calls its inflammatory propaganda campaign against Ukraine.
Russia should also draw down the troops deployed close to Ukraine's borders.
"Peace will only be achieved if Russia and the gunmen it continues to support start showing good faith in talks with Kyiv," the minister said.
"Moscow must understand in no uncertain terms that its continued failure to back up its words with deeds will result in further costs for the Russian Federation."
Since March, Canada has imposed travel bans and economic sanctions against dozens of Russian and Ukrainian individuals and entities.

16 Ukrainian troops, 1 rebel dead in checkpoint attack
DONETSK, Ukraine — As Ukraine prepares for a crucial presidential election, 16 soldiers and a pro-Russian rebel were killed Thursday in the deadliest attack on the military since unrest began in the east of the country in April.
The Ukrainian soldiers were killed at a checkpoint in the village of Blahodatne, 20 miles from Donetsk, after dawn clashes with pro-Russian separatists. One of the rebels was killed in the raid, and more than 30 soldiers were injured, the Associated Press reported.
Sunday, Ukrainians will elect a president to replace Oleksander Turchynov, who has led the country since anti-government protesters ousted President Victor Yanukovych in February.
The front-runner is Victor Poroshenko, a billionaire confectionary tycoon, dubbed the "chocolate king." He's promised to keep Ukraine together but grant more autonomy to restive pro-Russian regions in the east.
Trailing behind him in polls is former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, an outspoken opponent of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Tymoshenko has promised to reduce Russian influence in the country.
If none of the candidates wins 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff between the two leading contenders June 8.
Thirty-six million people are eligible to vote in the election, but a fifth of them live in areas affected by pro-Russian unrest. There will be no elections in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in March.
Fears that the election will be disrupted in the east have mounted after raids on polling stations by gunmen who have threatened election officials.
Many preparations for the poll are conducted in secret to prevent attacks. Sergei Trachenko, head of the Donetsk branch of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine, an electoral monitoring body, would not confirm whether ballots and electoral lists had arrived in the region. He said election day posed many challenges. "We cannot say how many polling stations will be open. Perhaps it will be 50% of them, but right now, nobody knows," he said.
Peaceful elections could mark a turning point in Ukraine's crisis, which erupted in late winter over divisions about whether the former Soviet republic, which has a larger ethnic Russian population in the east, should forge closer ties with Western Europe or remain close to neighboring Russia.
Separatist leaders in the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic have told voters to boycott the election. They claim that the territory no longer belongs to Ukraine after they declared independence following a referendum May 11, when voters overwhelmingly supported self-determination. Ukraine's central government and Western governments have called the referendum invalid.
Russia has said the Kiev government is illegitimate; however, Putin has recently softened his position on Sunday's elections, calling them a "step in the right direction."
Putin said Russia is pulling back troops from its border with Ukraine, where NATO estimates it has 40,000 stationed.
Limited Russian troop activity along the Ukrainian border "may suggest that some of these forces are preparing to withdraw," NATO Secretary-General Anders Rasmussen said on his Twitter account. But he warned, "Most of previously deployed Russian force remains near the Ukrainian border. We see continued Russian exercises."

In an exclusive interview, NBC's Andrea Mitchell sits down with the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to talk about charges that surveillance agencies are invading people's privacy.
The United States' top intelligence official said he was concerned about recent leaks to the media that revealed some of the country's surveillance activities in a move that he said could damage U.S. intelligence capabilities.
"I think we're very, very concerned about it," Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told NBC News' Andrea Mitchell Saturday. "For me, it is literally – not figuratively – literally gut-wrenching to see this happen because of the huge, grave damage it does to our intelligence capabilities."
In a statement released Saturday, Clapper said media reports contained some inaccuracies that cannot be corrected without revealing additional classified information – something he is not prepared to do.
"Over the last week we have seen reckless disclosures of intelligence community measures used to keep American safe," Clapper said in the statement. "In a rush to publish, media outlets have not given the full context – including the extent to which these programs are overseen by all three branches of government – to these effective tools."
The revelation of two ultra-secret government surveillance programs on Thursday raised outrage among many Americans.
The British newspaper The Guardian published a classified document detailing a program under which a division of telecommunications provider Verizon was ordered to hand over records to the National Security Agency.
A second program, code-named PRISM, was revealed later in the day, and first reported on by the Washington Post and The Guardian. Under the program, U.S. intelligence agencies have been given access to files maintained by some of the country's top Internet companies, including Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Apple, according to the reports. Those companies denied providing special government access to their systems when contacted by NBC News.
During the exclusive interview with Mitchell, Clapper told NBC News that the NSA has filed a criminal report with the Justice Department requesting an investigation into the leaks to the Washington Post and the Guardian newspapers.
"The NSA has filed a crimes report on this already," Clapper said.
The Washington Post reported that a disgruntled intelligence officer provided that top-secret information.
"I think we all feel profoundly offended by that. This is someone who for whatever reason has chosen to violate a sacred trust for this country," Clapper told Mitchell. "And, so, I hope we're able to track down whoever's doing this, because it is extremely damaging to, and it affects the safety and security of this country."
Describing a lot of the reporting on surveillance activities as "hyperbole," Clapper told Mitchell these intelligence programs represent "a key tool for preserving, protecting the nation's safety and security."
In a second statement released Saturday, Clapper's office described PRISM as follows: "PRISM is not an undisclosed collection or data mining program. It is an internal government computer system used to facilitate the government's statutorily authorized collection of foreign intelligence information from electronic communication service providers under court supervision as authorized by Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."
"The United States government does not unilaterally obtain information from the servers of U.S. electronic communication service providers," the statement continued.
Clapper said the intelligence community has been "profoundly affected" by the recent leaks, and he expressed concern over the "double-edged sword" of transparency, which could benefit "nefarious" groups.
According to the statement released by Clapper's office, the country's intelligence collection is credited with numerous accomplishments.
"For example, the intelligence community acquired information on a terrorist organization's strategic planning efforts. Communications collected under Section 702 have yielded intelligence regarding proliferation networks and have directly and significantly contributed to successful operations to impede the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and related technologies," the statement read.
- Officials: NSA mistakenly intercepted emails, phone calls of innocent Americans
- Obama: 'Nobody is listening to your telephone calls'
- Who is behind the snooping? And how long has it been going on?

DETROIT – Despite a passionate plea Friday from the mayor of Detroit, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has voted to go ahead with a shift in millions of dollars from the Detroit Department of Transportation to the SMART bus system.
For decades, DDOT was given a 65-35 share of federal funding over SMART.
But SEMCOG's 22-9 vote means DDOT will now get 48.5 percent of the federal money and SMART will get 51.5 percent.
The change means $7 million will be lost from DDOT.
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing spoke before SEMCOG, explaining it's not a good time to be taking more money away from the city.
"We've been limping along for years and years. As we start to build some possible momentum in the city, I think the worst thing that can happen and the timing of this, I think, starts to separate us and I don't want to see that happen," he said.
SEMCOG Chairman Paul Tait said it was meant in fairness and it was thrust upon them to come up with a solution.
"If we didn't have a formula to be used,we couldn't apply for the federal money for anybody, Detroit or SMART," he said. "We were between a rock and a hard place on this. We had to act."

Pérez Art Museum Miami Presents John Dunkley: Neither Day nor Night, Opening May 26, 2017
Exhibition brings together paintings and sculptures from one of Jamaica's most important historical artists and is the first exhibition of his work outside of Jamaica
MIAMI —May 15, 2017—Pérez Art Museum Miami presents John Dunkley: Neither Day nor Night, on view May 26, 2017 – January 14, 2018. The exhibition, on view in the museum's Rose Ellen Meyerhoff Greene and Gerald Greene Gallery, presents the work of John Dunkley (b. 1891, Savanna-la-Mar, Jamaica; d. 1947, Kingston), widely considered to be one of Jamaica's most important historical artists. Neither Day nor Night will include paintings from the 1930s and '40s alongside a smaller selection of carved-wood and stone sculptures. Dunkley's paintings are defined by their distinctive dark palette, detailed imagery—often landscapes––and psychologically suggestive underpinnings. His intimate sculptures reflect more figurative elements—people and animals—and offer insights into his unique iconography. His oeuvre spans little more than a decade, and only approximately 50 paintings are known to exist today, alongside a small number of sculptures. Although his work is well represented in the collection of the National Gallery of Jamaica, Kingston, as well as in international private collections, Dunkley has not been the focus of a solo exhibition since the 1970s, and never before outside Jamaica. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to bring together a substantial grouping of his work and to create an international context for its study. Dunkley's work has previously been show at PAMM as part of the large group exhibition Caribbean: Crossroads of the World (2014). This current project reflects PAMM's on-going commitment to fostering new scholarship and deeper investigations of artists working in the Caribbean region.
The exhibition is organized by PAMM's Associate Curator Diana Nawi with Nicole Smythe-Johnson, an independent curator and writer based in Kingston. David Boxer, an art historian and artist, and the foremost expert on Dunkley's work, has served as an advisor for the exhibition. Boxer has long studied Dunkley's practice, preserving his legacy, and Nawi and Smythe-Johnson have been working to realize an exhibition of his work for over two years. "Organizing an exhibition of Dunkley's work, which is so compelling and singular, is an exciting and necessary outgrowth of the conversations I had with local institutions, artists, and curators during my many trips to Kingston," says Nawi. "Neither Day nor Night represents a critical opportunity to deepen our understanding of this artist's work and allows us to look beyond the well-known 1970s Jamaica of the international imagination, exploring a history of the island that predates its independence," explains Smythe-Johnson.
Dunkley was born in rural northwestern Jamaica, and as a young man traveled to Costa Rica, Cuba and Panama to work, eventually settling for a time in Chiriquí, a province in western Panama. There he worked as a barber and began to create his first small paintings. Concurrently, he is also believed to have worked as an assistant to a studio photographer active in the region, possibly retouching and coloring photographs. Dunkley returned to Jamaica in the mid-to-late 1920s, where he established his own barbershop near downtown Kingston's busy port, and to make paintings and carvings. Dunkley was working at a pivotal time in Jamaica's history, and like figures such as Marcus Garvey, he is part of a generation of West Indian men who traveled abroad to work, both in the region and internationally, and returned home to contribute to the formation of what would eventually become an independent nation. His life and work provide rich insight into the broader economic and social factors, as well as the popular culture, that defined this era in Jamaica and the Caribbean.
John Dunkley: Neither Day nor Night is organized by PAMM Associate Curator Diana Nawi with Nicole Smythe-Johnson, independent curator. David Boxer serves as curatorial advisor on this exhibition. This exhibition is presented by Davidoff Art Initiative and the catalogue for this exhibition is supported by Furthermore: a program of the J. M. Kaplan Fund.

Because we don't really see vehicles like the Curved-Dash Oldsmobile on the road anymore, it's hard to believe that the full-size version of this toy was the most popular car in the beginning of the 20th century. Built between 1901 and 1907, the sled-like "horseless carriage" was the first mass-produced, gasoline engine automobile in the world. The wide-spread popularity of the new technology influenced toy companies like ACME Toy Works to emulate the Oldsmobile's details, right down to the tiller steering and turn crank to start the engine!
Toys, after all, are a sign of the times in which they were made. What child wouldn't want to drive their own newfangled automobile in 1903? The best-selling truck in 2013 was Ford's F-Series, so it is no coincidence that parents can find small versions and large versions at the toy store!

Bernard Pacaud, Burgundy wine, Champagne, Domaine Hervé Sigaut, Feuilleté de truffe fraîche "bel humeur", Hugo Desnoyer, l'Ambroisie, Mathieu Pacaud, Place des Vosges, truffle
When my main course was served, it was really a "wow moment". Recall, I had ordered the Feuilleté de truffe fraîche "bel humeur," a very famous signature dish at L'Ambroisie that consists of a perfect, very large black truffle sandwiching a perfect tranche of foie gras baked in pastry with black truffle sauce. "Please cut the bel humeur from the middle, and take a deep breathe when the aromas come out…", when the waiter said this to me, he also winked, which implied me to be prepared for this – you're going to be blown away. The shape of this Bel Humeur was so delicate and beautiful. I felt quite guilty to use the knife to cut it or "destroy" this art piece. Well, after appreciating it enough with my eyes, I eventually had it cut. And exactly as he said, the aromas blew up immediately. Before this dish, I'd never had a whole black truffle like this. Absolutely, it was a totally new experience to me. I had the same thing at Ledoyen one month after dining at l'Ambroisie. I have to say – L'Ambroisie's Bel Humeur is much better! I am not sure having had this Bel Humeur as a benchmark if I will ever be satisfied with any other.
(My 3rd time dining at l'Ambroisie will be posted at Part III)

Tripura is one of India's Northeastern states. It is one of the regions least explored by foreign tourists, but offers immense natural beauty and an intriguing cultural heritage. Tripura is one of three Indian states ruled by communists, making their presence felt with murals and flags in many places.
Tripura belongs to the politically volatile North-Eastern region. As in neighbouring states, ethnic and communal strife has claimed many lives over the years. The current ethnic setup in Tripura is a consequence of the Partition of India, when large groups of Bengali Hindus left the area that became East Pakistan (today Bangladesh). The previous majority population, the tribals, became a minority and socio-economically disadvantaged in comparison to the new majority.
Two major tribal rebel groups operate in the state, the National Liberation Front of Tripura and the All Tripura Tiger Force, which wants Tripura to secede from India. There have been no known account of any violence against tourists in the state, nor any indication that tourist would be a target of violent groups. On the other hand, there are only a few foreign tourists reaching the state at all.
The main language in the state is Bengali. The largest language of the tribal population (approx 30% of the population of the state) is Kok Borok. Other languages include Manipuri, Chakma. Hindi is very rarely used in the state, but is understood.
Tripura is mainly surrounded by the Bangladesh border. There is a border crossing point at the outskirts of the state capital Agartala. There is a direct bus service operating between Kolkata-Dhaka-Agartala.
For Bangladeshi visas, there is a Bangladeshi consulate in Agartala that runs a same day visa service. Tourist intending to obtain a visa are required to submit a filled up form with necessary documents, like photo etc. Usually, visa is issued the same day at afternoon.
Agartala is connected by air from Kolkata, Guwahati, Silchar and Delhi, Indira Gandhi Airport. The airport code is IXA. Foreign citizens need to register at the airport on arrival.
Recently, train services have also been introduced in the capital and an Express train runs daily between Agartala and Lumding, which enhances traveling in this princely state. The tickets to this service is highly sought after and should be booked well in advance. Daily train service is also available from Agartala to Silchar and Lumding (Assam) and Dharmanagar (Tripura).
Buses, run by CNG and disel are the main transport between towns of the state. At Agartala, City Buses are available in a regular interval. A small group can hire an Autorickshaw, run by CNG, for getting around the city. If time is more of an issue than money, one can hire a vehicle with driver. Do note that road conditions might be bad in rainy seasons, even by Indian standards. On some legs, vehicles travel in military convoys, moving extremely slowly through the countryside, especially on National highway, which connects Agartala with Assam. Some rural areas are not safe to travel by nighttime.
The fastest way to travel internally in Tripura is an helicopter service that connects Agartala with the northern parts of the state.

Tripura lacks an industrial base save some cottage industries (handicrafts and handloom). The Indian government has encouraged small scale industries especially weaving, pottery and basket making.
Typical Bengali cuisine includes rice, fish, meat and dal (pulse). Bengali sweets are also commonly available here. Some unique dishes of tribal people are also popular among the non-tribals and the tourists.One of the typical tribal dish is godok(Pork Disk) a must try disk. The major ingredients of Tripuri cuisine include pork, chicken, mutton, turtle, fish, prawns, crabs, and frogs.
Drinking of wine is banned in open. No bar is available at present. Beware of pirated alcohols, available in plenty. On the other hand, soft drinks of eminent brands are available in almost all shops.
Local people are quite innocent and helpful, but be aware of auto drivers, charging more than normal rate, for short distance travels always prefer three-wheeler rickshaws, they are convenient and easily available anywhere.
There are three ways to get out from here. Firstly, one can opt for Air Transport; regular flights are available for Kolkata, Guwahati and some other parts of India. One can also opt for Rail transport, though rails never run in this route in time. The state is connected with Assam through Meter Gauge Railway. If someone plans to visit Bangladesh, one can opt for Road Transport: state run TRTC service is available for visiting Bangladesh, which is cheaper and reliable. From Dhaka, link bus service is also available for going to Kolkata.Only advance Ticket is available in this route and the traveller requires a valid VISA for this route (Kolkata via Dhaka).

Recently, editors at the giant mega corp. magazine company we all work for received an e-mail. In that e-mail, Spectre invited all the editors from various magazines to bring their American musclecars out to the track. For that matter, any American musclecar was invited to run the road course, whether they were owned by an editor or a local resident. The only problem was they had a pre-1975 cutoff. Damn, there goes my hope and dreams of running my '88 IROC-Z.
Race day arrives and I drag my family out to the California Speedway in Fontana, California, expecting to see Camaros galore. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I saw only three Camaros in the entire joint! The only editor I saw was Liz Miles, running around in her Camaro. Liz, formerly of Camaro Performers magazine, now writes for Popular Hot Rodding Magazine. I'm calling shame on all the other editors who have their hot rides and are too pansy to bring them out to the track and test their metal. I was told at the track that I can enter my '88 IROC in the race next year. And you can bet I'll be there. In the meantime, enjoy the photos of the few GM-made vehicle that were at the track.

Anyway, I was impressed by three things upon receiving this letter:
1) Someone actually noticed that the card was expired. This is the first time anyone has noticed it when I have presented it.
2) They actually wrote me a letter saying that they needed an additional piece of information, instead of just putting in the incomplete folder, then my waiting 4+ months with no word, contacting them to find out what the heck is taking so long, and being told that it is incomplete and that they are just to busy to write a letter or leave a message on an answering machine.
3) That there was less than a week of turn-around time. I mean Wow.
Here is the trick- call early. I called at about 7:45 am, and they open at 7:30. I need to get a new Carte Vitale (the green card that has all your medical information on it). When I first arrived, I was on a student visa and we were not married, so I had to get a Student Healthcare Insurance. Then we got married, but as I was not yet working and not French, I got put under Alain's healthcare number. They couldn't actual, oh I don't know, give me my very own special number directly now could they? Instead, we have to fill out forms, wait several months, get a card that will surely become obsolete, then repeat the process.
This is the one thing that I absolutely do not understand about French Bureacracy- they just make more work for themself. American Bureacracy is at least efficient in that they want as little work for themselves as possible. Anyway, moving on.
The way that healthcare (social security) numbers are assigned is that it starts with a 1 for a man, 2 for a woman (typical) followed by the last two numbers of your birth year, two numbers for birth month, two numbers for the department that you were born in, three numbers for what community in the department, three numbers that show what number you were of all kids born that month, that year, in that city, and then finally a check number.
Once I started working, a number was generated for me, including my gender (woohoo!) birth year, month, then 99 for FOREIGNER AHH! then a code for the US and then some other stuff that makes sense only to the healthcare system. So I have had this number since March 07, but did not actually realize that these two numbers A) were supposed to be the same and B) were not. So now I have to fill out forms in triplicate, send in my old card, photocopy of my ID (Hey, do you think you could put some pressure on the Prefecture so that I can get my new one, instead of this one that expired October 1st, 2007? Thanks), as well as some other forms.
Let's start taking bets on how long it will take me to get my new card. I am putting it at two months- May 26,2008.
Anyone else want to throw a date out there?
For example:
In English: lonely
I don't feel that there is really a good way in French to translate this concept.
Using the French-English dictionaries, I get
"I feel alone today"
"I am isolated"
"I am sad"
Well, I can be alone or isolated without feeling lonely. I can be lonely and sad, but sad isn't necessarily lonely, and lonely isn't necessarily sad.
Other translations given are: solitary, suffering from solitudness, desolate, and rarely frequented.
"I am feeling rarely frequented today". (wait, that doesn't sound right)
Other examples?
Alain is leaving tomorrow to go on a business trip, so today, instead of working on the apartment as is our usual Sunday, we decided to take a day off.
The morning we had our weekly Sunday morning croissant and cappucino. Then we got on his motorcycle and went driving along the sea out to the Calanques. There I was, riding on the back of my French husband's motorcycle along the Mediterranean coast. Wow. Surely somewhere I never thought I would be 5 years ago. I guess 5 years ago I would have imagined that in 5 years I would be done with my PhD in microelectronics, teaching at some college somewhere, dating or married to another college professor or else working for the Government in Northern Virginia.
Then along came a Frenchman, and here I am. In a city I had heard of before, but would have been hard pressed to find on a blank map of France (though I would have probably picked "near the coast"). Wizzing along on the back of a motorcycle, which would have scared the beejesus out of me. Working in Intellectual Property. Married to a researcher (so that part isn't so far off.)
After driving around for awhile, we stopped and had milkshakes from Quick, then came home for lunch, then went again to see the movie "Be Kind Rewind" at one of the Original Version movie theaters.
Off to bed early tonight because I am taking Alain to the airport, ETD 6 am, followed by a full day of work.
Sometimes though, it is so incredibly slow to get up onto the MakeMyLifeHell.
I find the French to be much more of "Get the hell outta my way" drivers.
I have never had so many cars flash their lights (get out of the left lane because I am coming through and I am not slowing down) or the more subtle left-turn blinker in the left lane (also meaning, move the heck over please). It irritates me so much. I am usually pretty good about not lingering in the left lane. If I am there, it is because I am actively passing or planning to within the very near future. I don't just cruise along for miles.
I only had this happen once (lights flashing) in the US. I find American drivers to be much more of the clueless, "I'm gonna poke along and talk on my cellphone and not notice that you would like to merge" type. But perhaps that is just because I didn't do much rush hour highway driving in the US?
What are French/American reader's opinions on this?
Anyway, another thing that really irritates me is that whenever there is a long line of cars waiting to merge together into one lane (such as to go over the MakeMyLifeHell) there will always be the ones who don't want to wait in line for FIVE WHOLE MINUTES and go right up to the front and expect to be let in. Why do people let these people in? If these drivers would just learn that they are slowing the entire process down. But of course, they don't care. They don't want to actually have to wait.
Such as the reasoning on why there are no 4-way stops in France- two or more French drivers who arrived at the stop would always insist that they be the first one to go through, so they would just probably stop in the middle, get out, and start yelling at each other.
So I eventually get to one of the four commuter parking lots on the outside of town (because in-town parking is expensive and/or non-existant). It is 25€ per month or 2€ per day, and includes the bus to/from the centre ville. Luckily, my office is close to the bus stop. Get on the bus, get off several stops later, walk to office. Arrive around 7:35.
5 p.m: sprint out the door so that you can get the bus that passes around 5:07 to get on the highway by 5:20 so that you can get to the MakeMyLifeHell by around 5:40, sit in line for 8 minutes before actually going up and over it, wait on the most poorly designed street in Marseille (more about that in the next installment), finally begin searching for a parking spot around 6 pm. The funny thing is that if you get back too early, such as before 6 pm, there are no spots either because people haven't left from work yet to go home. So the ideal time is between about 6:15 and 6:45 to look for a spot.
Oh and why I can't park in the courtyard spots behind our apartment- because those are closed in by a gate, because otherwise, believe me, people would park there.
Get on with it already.
Don't you think over a year of campaigning is enough?
Just pick your darn candidates already.
At least here in France the vote narrows down the field (and by field we mean every political party, not just Democrat and Republican) to the top two vote winners, and then two weeks later the final is held. Not state after state of primary elections, followed by months of final campaigning. Plus, I think the bad thing about the US system is that the later the state is, the less the voters in that state are likely to vote their true opinion- their candidate is perhaps behind, so they figure "Why bother voting for him/her when there is no chance now that she/he will win?" If the primary election is held for the entire country on the same date, it seems more fair.
I voted in the "Democrats Abroad" Election, the result of which had a delegate count of Big Whoop and wasn't even covered in the US news, as far as I could tell.
Of all the candidates, I respect John McCain the most. He was my college graduation speaker.
However, I don't think I agree the most with his views/stances.
I have had to explain several times that No, there isn't going to be a final run-off for President between a female candidate and an African-American candidate. Yeah, all those news reports? Still haven't even gotten to the real thing. There is a half a year left of annoying non-stop coverage for your enjoyment.
All my previous jobs have had, in retrospect, fairly easy commutes. Nothing more than 30-40 minutes on average, many times only 10-20 minutes.
Now I am doing a lot of highway driving. It is 35 kilometers each way. This was originally a long rambling rant, but I decided it would be more coherent if I broke it up into a series.
First, I am going to start with parking, or lack of.
This is tricky because in this quartier, for every 2 legal parking spots, there are 3 cars that need to park. Some areas are worse, such as in the very center of town, where it is about 1:2. To buy a spot would be about 15000 €, and to buy a garage would be about 30000 €. Renting a spot is about 100 per month. Which quickly becomes worth it after a few parking tickets at 35€ a pop. Trouble is, there are waiting lists to RENT a spot.
So anyway, I have done my fair share of parking on crosswalks and on sidewalks. I haven't double parked yet, but it is definetely done around here. Sometimes people leave their phone number on a piece of paper on their dashboard. I guess you are supposed to call them first instead of the towtruck to come move their car. This happened to me the other day. I was parked not exactly legally but less illegally than the camionette that was parked on the sidewalk, blocking me (on the sidewalk) and blocking a garage exit. Luckily, the number of the company was on the side, so I wrote it down, walked back home in a panic, called the number at 7 am. Hey, I don't care if you are sleeping buddy. I finally got through, I guess it was the boss. He asked where I was (I guess to figure out which of his workers would be in that area). He said he would call them and get them to come and move it. Meanwhile, I looked up Forriere Marseille. I finally see from our window walking about as slow as one can walk without a walker, he finally gets in his truck, and pulls out. I run down, get in the car, about 15 minutes later than I had hoped to leave. Just the time to hit all the traffic jams.
After about 7pm you might as well forget about finding a legal parking space and can only hope there are some illegal spots left.
The most annoying thing about parking is that behind our building, in the inner courtyard, are about 3 covered garages and 5 open spots that are- empty. Apparently they belong to the family that had this piece of land, and they don't want to sell or rent the spots. No idea why they don't at least rent, but no. The available parking spots sit there, empty, taunting me, day after day as I fruitlessly search for parking spots within a mile radius.

The Bélisle family of Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines is on the map as well as on the Internet, just as much as the Lagasse family is.
I don't know where I am heading with this, but anyway… full speed ahead.
1939 Chevy
Three Toussaint Bélisle could have built la Maison Chaumont.
Click for a larger version…
Toussaint Bélisle the First was born on May 19, 1857 in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines. This Toussaint was the son of Joseph Bélisle and Josephte Chaumont. Josephte could also have Josette and even Christine as a given name.
This Toussaint married Vitaline Duquette in 1880. The name Toussaint Despaties was written in the marriage certificate. After Vitaline's death, Toussaint married Alphonsine Lapointe in 1894. Toussaint Bélisle was written in marriage certificate. His mother's name became Marie-Louise Chaumont…
In the 1891 Canadian census, we find that this Toussaint is a carpenter which should make him a serious candidate for the builder of Maison Chaumont.
Toussaint Bélisle the Second was born on October 30, 1858, also in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines. According to his marriage certificate he is the son of Georges Bélisle and Olivine Bélisle dit Goyet. Georges is a farmer in the 1881 Canadian census as well as his son Toussaint…
Toussaint Bélisle the Third was born on October 31, 1858, one day after Toussaint the Second. His parents are Jacques Bélisle and Elmire Therrien.
This is Ron's lineage.
A working man, Ron Depatie dit Roture dit Bélisle dit Rotureau
Jacques Bélisle lives in le Trait-Carré according to the 1881 Canadian census. He is a laborer just like his son Toussaint.
Of our three Toussaint, only one seems, for the time being, to have the necessary skills to build the house of Joseph Chaumont… except that… whether we are talking house building or genealogy, we should never that anything for granted.

Israel Academia Monitor Amuta members (From Dec. 2014)
Professor Gideon Kressel ; Professor Edgar Pick; Professor Simon Litsyn; Doctor Mordechai Kedar; David Mandel
Dr. Dana Barnett, director; .
Mission Statement
IAM is a non-profit, grassroots organization comprising citizens who, while strongly advocating free speech and academic freedom, are seriously concerned about the growing tendency to distort and abuse these two essential characteristics of a democratic society. Of particular concern are academics who defame their own universities and advocate measures that will harm Israel in general and their universities in particular by using unbalanced prejudiced arguments that fail to live up to the scholarship standards expected of the universities they represent.
Our goal is to present the truth by making the activities of those academics more widely known and challenging their distortions and bias.
IAM endorses the following principles set out in a 1940 statement by The American Association of University Professors (AAUP)
"When College and university teachers speak or write as citizens they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution".
"Teachers are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject".
As a response to these reports, the Ministry of Education is now determined to act against such anti-Israel faculty. An example of such determination on the part of the Israeli government to take action against such Israeli academics is the initiative by Israel's Education Minister, Gideon Sa'ar, to publish a "document of guiding principles" for faculty at Israeli educational institutions. This document seeks to put into place an ethical code at Israeli universities that would ensure freedom of expression, balanced teaching, pluralism, and fair treatment of students.

Small quake in South Carolina felt hundreds of miles away
COLUMBIA, S.C. >> Residents of South Carolina and Georgia had finally begun to relax after weathering another winter storm when the earth shuddered.
A small earthquake near the state line shook both states late Friday, rattling residents hundreds of miles away.
The U.S. Geological Survey's website reported a quake of 4.1 magnitude at 10:23 p.m. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
On Saturday, engineers from the state Department of Transportation were out evaluating bridges. Derrec Becker of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division said that's standard procedure after a quake.
The quake, about 7 miles from Edgefield, S.C. , was felt as far west Atlanta and as far north as Hickory, N.C., both about 150 miles away.
USGS geophysicist Dale Grant said it was a large quake for the area.

DontGivetoUVA.com: Gay grads solicit UVA donors
It's a constant sore point for gay UVA employees: They don't get the same benefits for their family that their heterosexual coworkers do. Two recent UVA grads, fed up with what they see as a double standard, have decided to strike back. Their website, DontGivetoUVA.com, threatens to siphon the dollars of homo-sympathetic donors.
That strategy has led UVA Pride, the association of non-straight employees, to distance itself from DontGivetoUVA, even while seizing the opportunity to draw attention to the issue.
Andrew Borchini and Andrew Bond graduated from UVA in May 2003, and ever since they've been bombarded with fundraising letters from their alma mater.
"It got to us," says Borchini. "Why should we donate to UVA when it doesn't value gay relations?"
Thus was born a plan. The two Andrews emailed UVA President John Casteen on February 3, giving him until Valentine's Day to cough up domestic partner benefits or else their website would begin accepting donations.
"Our main goal is to persuade the university to offer benefits like so many of its peer universities have already done, many 10 years ago," says Borchini. "And second, to provoke a discussion at UVA because it's fallen by the wayside."
Well, they've certainly provoked discussion.
UVA Pride issued a statement of disapproval of the young upstarts' website– but agreeing that gays are treated like second-class citizens at UVA. Casteen will be meeting with the group, although he's already told them that legally the school's hands are tied, says Claire Kaplan, UVA's sexual assault education coordinator.
That's what the Andrews were told, too. "He reminded us that the Virginia Code defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and that's how UVA benefits are based," says Borchini.
Borchini, who wrote his senior thesis on the subject, disagrees with Casteen's assessment. "The law on this matter is vague at best," says Borchini, who works at the liberal lobby group, People for the American Way. "Top legal scholars," says Borchini, "have differing opinions as far as UVA's ability to offer benefits."
And Casteen wants to see those legal opinions, says Borchini, who lives in Santa Monica, California.
For psychology professor Charlotte Patterson, the issue is more than a debate. Her partner of more than 20 years is self-employed, and the couple have three children.
"We are a family of five, and only one of us has benefits," says Patterson.
"Heterosexual couples are covered by UVA insurance if they wish to be, and they have other benefits. Their spouses are allowed access to the gym, a library card... None of these are open to us," she says.
To Patterson, who's been at the university since 1975, it's time: "I think the university should be providing for the families of minority groups as they do majority groups. It should be leading, not lagging behind."
She says her tenure gives her latitude to speak out on the issue, a luxury she says others don't have. "I think the university should be ashamed of itself to leave hardworking families out in the cold," she scolds.
UVA is one of only three top-25 research universities that don't offer domestic partner benefits. Catholic schools Georgetown and Notre Dame are the other two, according to Borchini.
Even in Virginia, where homosexual couples could face criminal charges for intimate practices until last summer– when the Supreme Court declared sodomy laws unconstitutional– Borchini points out that Washington and Lee and the University of Richmond offer domestic partner benefits.
Of course, those schools are private, and even as the Massachusetts Supreme Court and San Francisco have given the thumbs up to gay marriage, Virginia's public universities face a state government whose recent actions seem to suggest that gay rights stay in the closet.
In 2000, the Virginia Supreme Court struck down Arlington County's domestic partner ordinance. Kaplan believes that ruling doesn't apply to an institution of higher learning. "In the short term, there might be other ways beside state funds," she says. "People aren't thinking creatively."
As for DontGivetoUVA.com, "A lot of us think it's cool, but when you do this stuff, you need to consult with the recipients," says Kaplan. "They've certainly gotten the attention, but it's put those of us who work here in a difficult spot. And those who don't have tenure could be put at risk. There are people who are very afraid."
"We understand that this is important to many people, and we plan to study the issue carefully," says UVA spokesperson Carol Wood. She urges those concerned about the state's partner benefits law to contact the governor's office or members of the General Assembly.
This is the same General Assembly whose House of Delegates just passed one bill prohibiting Virginia from recognizing gay marriages or civil unions, and considered another forbidding those not related by blood or marriage to pool resources for a Virginia Housing Development Loan. That vote came up for a vote Monday, February 16 and did not advance to the Senate.
Kaplan is cheered by HB 1016, which allows insurance companies to offer broader benefits to people who reside together but aren't married. The bill squeaked by in the House of Delegates 50-49 on February 16.
DontGivetoUVA.com started accepting donations on Valentine's Day, and so far has taken in $500 toward its goal of $100,000 in 2004. Nearly 300 people have signed its on-line petition.
Borchini is excited by the feedback on the site and he's "cautiously optimistic" about the future of domestic partner benefits at a time when gay rights are very much in the national news.
And he thinks the website might be the nudge that motivates UVA to shed its "institutional discrimination" and join other top-ranked schools in providing those benefits.
Because as Virginia's flagship university, says Borchini, "It's very embarrassing."

According to a 2017 online survey conducted by the University of Michigan, Millennials are eager to put down roots and enjoy the "freedom" that comes from homeownership—with 95 percent of those surveyed saying they are actively saving for a purchase, and 90 percent planning to buy within two years.
The survey—which included 412 people nationwide (210 homeowners and 202 potential homeowners) ages 25 to 34—found that a vast majority of would-be buyers are dissuaded from purchasing because they think they don't have enough for a downpayment. Of those who took the survey, 70 percent said that saving for a downpayment is the biggest obstacle to achieving their goal of homeownership; and 67 percent believed they needed to save up the full 20-percent down.
According to the survey, 25 percent of homeowners have average household income under $50,000 per year, and 40 percent of homeowners had student debt when they closed on their home.
When it comes to saving for a downpayment, even small changes in spending habits—brown bagging lunch instead of buying out, or skipping Starbucks for a year—can bring would-be buyers over the finish line. What's more, the ability to close on a home for less cash upfront can help borrowers pay for critical expenses associated with homeownership such as remodeling and renovations.
As one of the primary hallmarks of "adulthood," homeowners are more likely than their counterparts to have completed major rites of passage, including obtaining credit cards, taking out an auto loan, having a 401(k) and purchasing a new car.
Other notable findings of the survey are:
►Ninety-one percent of respondents view homeownership as a financial investment, but not an easy one to make
►Sixty-seven percent worry about being approved for a mortgage
►Fifty-three percent are afraid they won't be able to make payments on a mortgage
