As of Sunday, December 11, 2011
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
NEW YORK — Robert Griffin III beat out preseason favorite Andrew Luck for the Heisman Trophy, dazzling voters with his ability to throw, run and lead Big 12 doormat Baylor into the national rankings.
The junior quarterback known as RG3 became the first Heisman winner from Baylor on Saturday night by a comfortable cushion over the Stanford star.
Griffin started the season on the fringe of the Heisman conversation, a talented and exciting player on a marginal team, while Luck was already being touted as a No. 1 NFL draft pick.
Draft day might very well still belong to Luck, but Griffin diverted the Heisman to Waco, Texas, to a school that has never had a player finish better than fourth in the voting — and that was 48 years ago.
Right before his name was called, Griffin took a deep breath. When it was announced he broke into a bright smile. Then it was hugs all around, for his coaches, his parents, his sister and his fiance.
He took a few long strides up to the stage and let out a laugh when he got there, making a joke about the Superman socks — complete with capes on the back — he was wearing before going into his acceptance speech.
"This is unbelievably believable," he said. "It's unbelievable because in the moment we're all amazed when great things happen. But it's believable because great things don't happen without hard work.
Griffin received 405 first-place votes and 1,687 points.
"Everybody associated with Baylor has a reason to celebrate tonight," he said.
Luck received 247 first-place votes and 1,407 points to become the fourth player to be Heisman runner-up in consecutive seasons and first since Arkansas running back Darren McFadden in 2006 and '07.
He was also first to congratulate Griffin
"Very much well deserved," Luck said.
Alabama running back Trent Richardson was third with 138 first-place votes and 978 points. Wisconsin running back Montee Ball (348 points) was fourth and the other finalist, LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu (327) was fifth.
Griffin's highlights were simply spectacular — his signature moment coming on a long, cross-field touchdown pass with 8 seconds left to beat Oklahoma — and he put up dizzying numbers, completing 72 percent of his passes for 3,998 yards with 36 touchdown passes and a nation-leading 192.3 efficiency rating.
More importantly, he lifted Baylor (9-3) to national prominence and one of the greatest seasons in school history. The 15th-ranked Bears won nine games for the first time in 25 years, beat the Sooners for the first time ever and went 4-0 in November.
That was after winning a total of four November games in their first 15 Big 12 seasons. And the last three games? Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas.
Luck was the front-runner from the moment in January he surprised many by returning to Stanford for one more season instead of jumping to the NFL to become a millionaire. He didn't disappoint, with 3,170 yards receiving, 35 touchdown passes, a completion percentage of 70 percent and a rating of 167.5.
Griffin put up better numbers and, essentially, out-Lucked Luck, who became a star by lifting a forlorn program at a private school out of the shadows of its powerful conference rivals.
Luck made a sensational one-handed catch early in what turned out to be a blowout victory against UCLA. Nice.
Griffin made a 15-yard reception in traffic to convert a key third down on the game-winning drive in Baylor's opening 50-48 victory against TCU. Better.
The 6-foot-2, 220 pounder with sprinter's speed — he was an all-American in the 400-meter hurdles — grabbed plenty of headlines and attention with that first Friday performance against the Horned Frogs and ended the first month of the season with more touchdown passes than incompletions.

My kid just joined a swim team so I'm hoping she gets even more excited about the sport over the next few weeks.
Going to hit the beach on Sunday - supposed to be HOT in Los Angeles. The beach is 10 - 20 degrees cooler than where I live so it is a must.
How about you?
I have no big plans for this weekend. I hope to catch up on my reading. Everytime I got into it, the phone rang or someone in my family had a question. They are so helpless w/o me.
I do want the GIANTS to BEAT LA!!!!
Haylen, it is a 100 out here in Vegas. Drive by and pick me up cause I'd love to hit the beach with you.
Oh, Jason, start that project that is in your closet.
Everyone, whatever you decide to do, enjoy yourselves.
Finally recovered from our 3700 mile Victory Motorcycle ride. Sure would have Loved to Stay in Port Townsend w/ Family nearby. And Ocean blocks away. Or Miles if ya prefer the Country. But houses are Historic & expensive to buy. Hubby showed me 1 renovator yesterday. A Bed & Breakfast comes to mind as a Use for this Lovely House. Or a Boarding House. W/ Low Rent for Special People. I would take in the struggling, creative artists/crafts/culinary people. Seems there are a Lot. The Uppity Up's complain about all the 'Hippies'. But, they are Very talented.
Whoops! Ramblin. Again. The rest of my day/weekend will be spent online, mostly. I have joined Another Epilepsy Group on Facebook. It seems I have a Powerful Need to Share what I have Learned. I feel & see the need to 'Be There' for anyone/everyone w/ questions &/or concerns. Just like w/ all of You! This makes me Feel Strong & Useful!! I'm an Epileptic Knowledge/Support Freak. Yes, Angie, I know you don't Like that certain word. But, I don't mind. To each his Own! Agree to disagree? HUGS! Enjoy your game. Everyone else, ENJOY Each Day!
Love Candi
Yes, Billy and Elton, that's gonna be a show to remember. Maybe later it will be available on dvd.
Congrats on completing that Victory ride!!!
I'm low-rent and exceedingly special. So talk hubby into that house. Sounds like it would be a great vacation or get-away spot. A home for people with ep or other med conditons. The struggling artists. Let's bring back the 60s and 70s of everyday people. I loved growing up in the Bay Area as a teen and young adult. Such fun years. HIPPIES FOREVER, YEAH!!!
Yes, Candi, the word "epileptic" does bother me. But that is when the population outside of us uses it as a limitation or our identity. Thanks for being thoughful.
You have a lot to share and much more love to give. Continue to spead it on the websites that you discover, with us, and everyone else.
Good day to everyone. Maybe the Giants can even it up 2day with a win against the Dodgers.
Love to all,
angie, sports freak
The men & Band that do the Tribute actually came from & perform the Most in Las Vegas. So, chek it out online. As to when their next show will be. Well worth it! The guy who did Billy Joel songs had his 16 yr old son play piano & sing for us at one point. Gonna be a Star in his own rite, someday. I Hope. Had the Talent & Good Looking to boot. He did mention he would post a picture of his son signing autographs & young lady hugging after show, on YouTube. Maybe he put in his pic, too. I will ask Hubby, later, what their names are for easier finding.
Still waiting on a new comp so I can start saving Info again. Gonna be awhile now. Hubby needs Truck Maintenance, Big Time. Being on a borrowed Tower is the Pitts! But, at least I can Log In & respond. And I can always use the Resources/Tips located here on WebMD. Plus, I have Phylis w/ me in several of the FB Groups. That Helps a Lot! Her Page/Forum is Full of articles these people Need to Read! I am so Glad I 'adopted'/ stole her from another site. I love her way w/ words. She truly is a Great Journalist. And to think she gave up her Career to voluntarily Research & write her Epilepsy Articles. She found her True Calling. Same as me. Only Better! I post Links. She writes it so it's understandable & posts the Links where Info was gathered. OK Enough. I'll give her a swollen Ego!
Did your Hopes come true w/ the game? I'm Not a Sports Freak. Only An Epilepsy & Music 'freak'.
Love to All! Candi
Sounds like you had a great time!!! However, my team has embarrassed me and themselves to of all teams, the Las Angeles Dodgers. The Giants did not score a run. The two teams are fighting for 1st place in their division. UGH, FRUSTRTATING!!!! But I am faithful to them just like I am to the Raiders.
The bay area and southern California simply have a strong dislike for each other. Like the old west, north vs south.
Moving on, I did catch up on my reading...220 pages on Saturday!!! Wow, what can be accomplished when no one is nagging you every few minutes. "When you get the chance...", " Do you plan to go...?", etc. Family is a wonderful piece of life but boy can they be a bother sometimes.
Phylis is wonderful. Do take a bow Phylis. And you too, Candi.
Webmd and us are blessed to have two wonderful ladies who put their heart into their work. Two ladies who truly care.
Music? I turned to jazz sometime ago. I love the horns. But I will always have a love for the pop and R&B sounds of the 60s-80s. The songs that got everyone to the dance floor. We moved, and talked with each other. No skype, email, twitter, etc. Those "good ole days".
Everyone, have a good day. Enjoy the coming week. May your seizures be few or none at all.
Too bad about your team. Oh well. Maybe next yr will have better results. I read somewhere that Football & other Sports are like Wrestling. All Fake! They make for good watching though. If you are a Fan, it really doesn't matter. Still Good to Watch!
Yep, I'm still w/ the 60'-80's Rock & Roll. Hubby moved Forward to Country & Bluegrass. So, the Majority of the time that's what I get to Hear. I don't mind. I'm Versatile. So, anyway, last nite was a Real Treat!
Thanks for being here w/ me! You & others' are what keep me coming back! Your experiences have helped me Understand & work even harder to Help & Support you & others'!
Love Candi
We just got back from the beach - 98 degrees at my house - 70 in Malibu...if I only had a couple of extra million, I would live there....
Congrats on the ride Candi - I hope the concert was awesome!
Yeah, the Giants simply had no offense or defense this past weekend. I'm hoping this dry spell is over.
Haylen, I don't recall visiting Malibu when I lived in the Bay Area. I do remember Monterey. If I had a couple of million, I'd love to have a home along the Californis coast. Let's start saving our nickles for a home for people with ep and other medical conditions. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Yes, the start of football season is next month!!! I will be ready. RAIDERS...9ERS...EAGLES...GO...GO...GO...GO!!!
I did finish my book. I have the next one on my shelf and plan to start it some time today. It is the last of the trilology. This one is 818 pages.
Everyone, take care. Enjoy the day.
Oh my gosh, Friendship Day is Sunday, August 5. Remember those who have walked with us. Good day.
Author of the Trilogy Books?
Love Candi
I'm reading the GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTO trilogy by S. Larsson. It is a great mystery/crime drama. Full of surprises. I haven't seen the movie yet.
I didn't get a chance to start book 3 yesterday like I had hoped. Got involved with paper work. Today will be a good day 'cause it's gray and wet... if I can ignore the Olympics.
My girlfriend of 44 years would love to be a part of our Community. She's an occuaptional therapist and counts on me for first-hand info regarding ep and related issues. I think we could count on Dana too.
Right now I'm bouncing to Huey Lewis and the News' BACK IN TIME. Catch you later.
This is that community! What can we do to improve the WebMD? Epilepsy Community here? My team is always open to suggestions and feedback so we can enhance and improve your experience here!
Angie, Please have your friend write in to firstname.lastname@example.com
to express her interest in working in our community
I loved Larsson trilogy! I went and saw the movie by myself one day after work - thought it was pretty true to the book - very violent and dark but I really liked it.
Off to take the kid to swim team practice. I sure hope she gets bit by the swim bug - I'm all ready to be a swim team mom Of course, the Olympics has turned me onto it!
is there a community for blindness & Visual Impairment? along with ep it is another of my issues. yes I am legally blind. i feel i may be able to help others with my experience.

Fulton County says superstar Usher was a model citizen when he voted in Roswell on Tuesday. Wouldn't we all be if we were afforded the same privileges?
A local resident in Roswell told Roswell Patch the international celebrity was able to skip past long lines of waiting voters with his own photographers in tow, despite posted signs that prohibited pictures and videos to be taken in the polling area.
Bob Giordano, a spokesperson with the Fulton County Office of Communications, confirmed Usher Raymond voted in Roswell. He said Usher did take photos, but not of the voting machines, only of people who wanted to pose with him.
People who waited in long lines for their turns at the voting machine and honored the rule not to take photos were not impressed. The argument that it was for security and crowd control reasons because of the celebrity status didn't impress others either. The argument was there is always absentee voting if that is likely to present a problem.
So what do you think? Should celebrities be given special privileges at the polls?

At Patch, we pride ourselves on making life ridiculously easy for you.
That's why we've launched a new feature called Grocery Specials, which allows readers to browse local grocery coupons and weekly specials from Waukesha grocery stores such as Pick 'N Save, Aldi and Sentry.
With Grocery Specials, you can now add specials and coupons to your own personalized list, print coupons, print a list of specials and email a list of specials to yourself or a friend.

Grocery Server indexes weekly circulars from more than 230 grocers across the country, with at least one store in every zip code. They do their best to mirror the market areas in which grocers send out circulars, and in some areas that includes stores near and far.
They are however always looking to improve their coverage! If you don't see a local store and you would like to request coverage, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Don't forget to include the chain/store name and the zip code.

Deep appreciation for St. Ann's Clinic
I am writing this letter to praise all the wonderful, and I mean wonderful people at the St. Ann's Clinic. Without them I would have never have gotten the medical care that I needed.
I don't think that people realize what an important role these people play in the care for those of us who have nowhere to turn for medical care. If not for this great facility and our local trustee's office, a lot of people would go without such care.
There is no way I can express my gratitude for the kindness, compassion and caring that they have shown me in the past four years. There have been times when I have seen people get very terse and rude with the folks who work there. So I have one thing to say to those people. Shame on you. You get free medical care, free prescriptions, and kind caring people doing this for you.
Think, these people do not get paid for all the things they do. They are volunteers. They do this because they want to help anyone they can. I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to the ones who have given me a new outlook on the fact that there are people who will go the distance to help those in need.
This is a special thanks to Karen, here's to you Doc. Thanks for everyone. Love you all.

Justifying those tenets of Islam
The letter of Dr. Khwaja Hasan published on Aug. 10 indicates that he is not going to stop attacking the infidels who would dare to utter a word against his "Peaceful Islam."
And to justify all the inhuman barbarities performed by the Muslims, he wrote that similar acts of violence were also done by the people of other religions. But he did not mention that none of those atrocities was done in the name of any religion.
Prophet Muhammad, born in the Arabian Desert in 570 CE, realized that he had to make Islam, the religion he was planning to preach, very attractive and immediately gainful to the Arab Bedouins, otherwise they would not bother to listen to him. So he preached that according to Islam, killing any non-believer to take his camels and money and to rape his wives was no sin at all, but a holy act blessed by Allah. And even if he died in the process, Allah would give him the virility of a hundred men to enjoy 72 virgins in heaven.
He realized that to survive in a world surrounded by people of other religions, he had to organize the Muslims into a united and totally disciplined army. So unlike other religions, the Muslims are obligated to pray five times in the day like the drilling soldiers of the army. So to maintain that army-like discipline, he prescribed death sentence for any Muslim who would not follow the rituals of Islam, leave Islam to accept other religion or criticize Allah, Koran or Muhammad.
To the Muslims, the world is Allah's kingdom and every non-Muslim is a rebel against Allah, who deserves to be converted and on refusal be killed. And to go on a Jihad to convert others and to conquer their kingdoms, is obligatory for every Muslim.
So the history of Islam is a history of continued wars, destruction of the places of worship of others, murder of the non-Muslims and rape of their women.
Dr. Hasan does not tell us why even today no Christian is allowed to take his Bible to Saudi Arabia or practice his own religion while living there.
Recently a Sri Lankan living in Saudi Arabia was given a death sentence for worshipping his deity Lord Buddha. Prophet Muhammad had many wives and even married the wife of his adopted son and had sex with his nine-year old wife, Ayesha. But to call him a pedophile today is to invite sure death from the peaceful Muslims.
Naturally Dr. Hasan, as a true Muslim, is attacking everyone who would dare to utter a word against his Islam. Unless the Americans stop the Muslims, the green Islamic flag may be flying on the White House in the future as predicted by the Muslims.

Snoring Isn't Normal
Despite how commonly it occurs, you may be surprised to know that snoring isn't actually considered normal. What I mean by this is that snoring isn't simply something people do or don't do, and regardless of whether or not you snore, all is well. In fact, snoring is often caused by one or more outside factors, some of which can potentially be harmful and may lead to more serious health concerns like sleep apnea. So, contrary to popular belief, snoring is not a condition that's considered "normal." The good news is, there are viable snoring treatment options designed to reduce snoring and help yourself or a loved one get a healthier night's sleep each night. As an experienced general and cosmetic dentist, I can construct a customized oral appliance to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth while you sleep. When worn properly, these appliances have proven to successfully diminish the occurrence of snoring so that you and your loved ones can sleep peacefully throughout the night. Contact The Art of Dentistry For more information about our snoring treatment, or to schedule an appointment, please contact The Art of Dentistry today.

A sharp eye on media bias, official propaganda, and globaloney.
Chinese leaders and their surrogates in the United States have been working hard this political season to calm American concerns about the rise of China. But predictions of China's impending "implosion" are just that — predictions. And many of them come from people who consciously want to deflect the attention of the American electorate from the real issue: as the United States becomes increasingly dependent on Chinese finance, it is rapidly losing its economic sovereignty. Worse, it is falling under the shadow of a nation — China — whose values are about as remote as those of any major modern nation. As it happens, two YouTube videos have just been released that underline the extent of America's failure to understand the real China. We can only hope Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have time to take a look ahead of their encounter tonight, in which they are expected to spend much time discussing China.
The first clip is entitled, "Killed For Organs: China's Secret State Transplant Business," and it gives a horrific account of the Chinese state's forced "harvesting" of human kidneys, livers, and other vital organs. In most cases, the "donors" are prisoners and many of them — perhaps a majority — are prisoners of conscience. Their organs are sold to a booming domestic and global organ transplant industry, with hearts, for instance, fetching well over $100,000 each. There have been allegations that supporters of the Falungong spiritual movement have been particularly targeted. In many cases organs fitting a recipient's physiology can be made available within a week and the removal of the "donor's" organs constitutes his or her execution. The clip includes a particularly graphic comment from the Canadian political campaigner David Kilgour: "It makes you think of some grotesque restaurant where you pick your lobster — except that these are human beings we are talking about." If this clip does not focus American attention on the ethical implications of China's rise, nothing will.
The second clip is a commentary by the prominent management writer Richard D'Aveni describing the extent of China's challenge to the American economy. His contribution is, I believe, of historic significance in that he is the first top American scholar to speak so clearly about the crisis now facing American capitalism. (D'Aveni's comments are a complete break from a pattern of self-censorship which has long restrained the East Asian studies field in American universities. The problem has been scholars' increasing dependence on funding from politically motivated donors — not least many American corporations that profit from shipping jobs to China). D'Aveni comes to the subject as an established and highly respected expert on management and his authority is bolstered by the fact that he enjoys tenure at Tuck, one of America's top management schools.
First of all, I want to make a few things clear. I'm not Chinese. I don't believe in communism. Also I don't work for the Chinese government. According to the Chinese government, the prisoner organ donations are on a volunteer basis. You might quetion that. By the same token I question the "findings" of the people you quote. These people are anti Chinese government-biased for their personal reasons. They are the backers of the Falun Gong which the Chinese govenment opposes. So I can not take what they say at face value. I must mention that I like Falun Gong's idea of presreving the traditional Chinese culture. I hope the Chinese government finds some way to accommodate the Falun Gong. Being nominated or winning Nobel Peace Prize means very little to me. I know that many times the Nobel Peace Prize is given for political reasons. Do you remember Obama getting the Prize in 2009?
It's so sad to see this happening. Chinese are so afraid to talk about. They will said,'It's political' which means 'shut up, don't talk.' I'm glad there are brave people stand out. China has so much influence around the world. The food you eat, the clothing you wear, the equipment you work or play with and the media you watch, everyone is influence. If we want a safer and more free world, everyone has to be alert and act on it.
Must-see videos, must-read article!
Perhaps I'm gonna read Forbes more
That China is a "problem" for the United States of America is very relevant and direct to the point!
China, being one of the largest economic and military potentials of the world, is believed to become the world's next "Superpower", – by theis years of 2000+!
It's potential is "unimaginable", and it reflects so gradually to how "we" humans live today.
We have created a 'New World', wherein, we, – "global commerce – humanity', is forced to buy Chinese products that are made with the degree of speed and not quality!
In an equal speed of time, – China becomes the world "productivity machine", where, this kind of speed destroys the economies of thiis globe, without the capability of turning back.
America is sold to China!
This "dogma" is fatal, where "capitalism" ended, and even Europe included!
Soon, China will force America to have its wars in the Pacific, with The Philippines as its "Origin of War", then Russia will side by side destroy America!
Then, it will be time to condone that there were actually UFO's visiting our areas rampantly during 2000+, and that the need to "create" competitive vehicles must be decided!
My sister Nancy once said: Who has the Gold must rule!!!
But 'bigger' concepts creates "power"!
Who has the "knowledge" and "ultra futuristic vehicles" rules!!!
Is the main characteristic of the Chinese Government organ harvesting?
Or is its main characteristic the drive to secure the welfare, the territorial integrity, and the prosperity of 1 billion plus people?
1. US government forbids selling the most lucrative product to China – high tech products.
2. US should stop exerting too much influence on the internal problems of China, let the Chinese deal with them on their own.
Also, it is US who is the biggest currency manipulator in the world, and selfishly putting the whole world economy in risk. China, on the other hand, has been working towards maintaining the stability of world economy.
People should stop being brain washed by these so called professors into believing China as some kind of selfish devil.
In the 70′s and 80′s, we all panicked about how Japan was going to own America as they held all our debt and made all our stuff – even our cars. Well, that did not happen. China is better by far than Japan in that Chinese will buy something that is American. China's rise has and is becoming a bigger boom to the American economy. Further, they are not radical Muslims. They are closer to us than many I could name.
Further point is that Falungong is a political movement masquerading as a religion. Li Hongzhi wants to be powerful and uses his culture… and wants to dominate it just like Muhammad did starting in Arabia. Both men used religion to advance their goals. Muhammad was more succesful to date.
"China is better by far than Japan in that Chinese will buy something that is American."
Correction. They will buy American BRANDS of manufactured goods, most of which are made in China. By the way, The U.S has been buying more than it sells for 37 years straight years. A $500 billion annual trade deficit divided by $50,000 equals 10 million American jobs.

Today's hockey-related News of the Weird and Tragic: While Dornstreich was working with a referee, a parent ran over to say that the rink attendant was "weaving all over, slurring his words." By the time that conversation was done, Dornstreich said, the man was already backing the Zamboni onto the ice. And not very well, Dornstreich said.... People have been arrested in Minnesota for driving under the influence on everything from a souped-up motorized recliner to a farm tractor. State law says a DWI can result from driving any kind of a motorized vehicle, pretty much anywhere -- a forklift driver at work, a Bobcat driver plowing city sidewalks, a riding lawn mower in a yard.

If Metro-North suspends service for meteorological events, should ticket holders who purchased a pass for the whole month receive some kind of rebate? It was the hottest question covered during the most recent CT Commuter Council in Stamford, according to the Stamford Advocate.
The Advocate reported legislation has been introduced and is currently under consideration by the Transportation Committee that would require the validity of week- and month-long passes to be extended when service is suspended for more than 48 hours.
The Department of Transportation is reportedly opposing the legislation, according to the Advocate, as rail fares are already subsidized by taxpayers.
Jim Cameron, Chairman of the Commuter Council, likened the lack of repayment to the purchaser to fraud in an opinion piece to the Fairfield Sun, going so far as to title the piece The Great Train Ticket Robbery. He cited testimony from 15 commuters supporting the bill and said when service can't be provided, ticket holders should be made whole.

Actual Kendall customers share their experiences
Service Customer
"My husband and I now live in Portland. We will only go to Kendall for the service of our Acura. It's the first 'car company' I have ever felt any kind of loyalty. Thank you Kendall for giving us this experience!"
Online Negotiation Customer
"I bought a 2010 RAV4 Sport V6 4WD. I did the price negotiations through the Kendall web site. It's a great way to buy a car. All of the inquiries and bids I made on line received a very fast and courteous response. I appreciated the fact the the Kendall people didn't give me the "hard sell" on the car. They were open, friendly and very accommodating. It was the best experience I've had in buying a car."
Scott Flamme
Fairbanks Service Customer
"My service experience with Tony was better than I have ever recieved from auto service company. The seamless service and professional staff makes you feel like you are appreciated - which is not typical of most Fairbanks auto dealers. I have to say that other auto dealerships have alot to learn or they will loose customers to a superior product and to exceptional service. Thanks for the great service."
Chevrolet Service Customer
"Donovan has helped me through many of my repairs at Kendall and has always provided exceptional service. You should know he is very knowledgeable, polite and honest in his approach to your customers."
Scott & Molly Marler
Toyota Customer
"HANDS DOWN.....the best experience I have EVER had buying a vehicle. Kendall has the absolute best online information, technology, and response compared to their competition in AK. It has been over a week since I first started researching used vehicles on the internet. I posted several inquiries with Kendall competition and still have NEVER gotten a response. Kendall responded to my request before I had even exited their website. THIS IS CUSTOMER SERVICE. The entire experience was a pleasant surprise."
J Schnider
Ford Customer
"I have never experienced such professional attention and consideration from a car dealership as I received at Kendall Ford of Wasilla. The patience and understanding shown to me by absolutely everyone associated with Kendall Ford was unbelievable. I took the better part of an entire year before finally deciding what I wanted exactly, and when I wanted it, and at no time was I ever made the target for high pressure sales of any kind, nor was I ever made to feel as if I was wasting anyone's time. Additionally, when I finally did make my decision to purchase, my customer service representative, Mr. Doc Kane, made himself available to me 24/7. He answered all of my questions no matter when I asked. This included both late nights and week-ends. Still, at no time did the high pressure sales ever start--not ever! I ordered my vehicle from the factory, and Doc kept me abreast of every stage of the process--from the factory receiving the order, through the assembly process, its trip to the railhead, etc., and all the way to Wasilla, AK! The exceptional service certainly didn't stop there, by any means. The detail with which everyone concerned inspected the vehicle was absolutely impressive,to say the least. Doc personally ensured eveerything I ordered was present on the vehicle and in perfect working condition, Additionally, Doc went over absolutely every aspect of the entire loan process not only to my satisfaction, but more importantly, he took the time to ensure my wife understood absolutely everything, as well! When the time came to finalize all of the loan paperwork and to actually sign all of the associated documents, Doc introduced us to the individual responsible, and that person also spent a great deal of time explaining every option available to us! The high quality of care and genuine concern for the customer was apparent at every location within the dealership--Doc took us around to meet everyone from Parts and Service to even the folks who would provide us with transportation to anywhere in the city while my vehicle was being serviced--and at no time did the attitudes change! I highly recommend this place to anyone in the market for a vehicle--I have on several occasions already, and will continue to do so. The professionalism is without equal! "
Greg Wilson
Chevrolet Service Customer
"The service is the Best. The work is done on time. I feel the service is a great value. I WILL RETURN FOR MORE SERVICE WORK. I have to travel 130 miles but the service is worth it. THANKS. "
Justin Andryjowicz
Toyota Customer
"Scott was very informative and helpful. He took the time to explain to me everything that was being done in a manner that made sense without 'dumbing it down'. As well, after hearing that I had just moved to Alaska from California, he took the time to explain to me various customer level vehicle maintenance tips to help me prolong the performance and appearance of my vehicle, as well as other tips for owning a vehicle in this sort of wintery environment. Most importantly, though, his friendly and welcoming nature made me feel as if he, Kendell Toyota, and Toyota itself truly appreciated my business and wanted me to be happy with my decision to choose them as the place to care for my vehicle."
Martha A. Reinbold
Service Customer
"Barbara's attention to detail and her desire to listen to my concerns is consistently appreciated. I know she will take care of me properly and I value that personal one on one relationship. I know she doesn't remember me from visit to visit, but I remember her and ask for her. I know Kendall provides excellent mechanical service, but what makes the difference is the personalized feeling Barbara shares with her customers. I'm not going anywhere else."
Warren Chesebro
Ford Customer
"We purchased a 97 Ford F350 from Kendall Ford in Eugene, Oregon and had the best car (truck) buying experience of our life. Tim Gonya is a supperb salesman, with a genuine character of integrity and appreciation for customer care. Furthermore, our tranny went out last year, and Kendall was there to go above and beyond to help us out in getting the situation taken care of. We do own a Subaru, but didn't purchase it at Kendall. We did have some major Warrenty issues last year, that weren't covered, but that wasn't Kendall's fault. Even in my frustration and multiple calls to try and get the repairs covered, Fairbanks Kendall remained professional and was patient to explain everything to me. It is because of our experience with the Eugene team, that we continue our relationship with Kendall up here. My fav service rep is Susan, but I seem to get a different one every time. Please keep your focus the same and your business will thrive. God Bless ya'll and thanks again."
Sonja Fry
Ford Customer
"I must say that I found Dave to be sincere and sensitive to my needs, I told him I didn't want to be at the dealership for longer then 30 minutes, and he honored my request, he heard me and followed through, I also found him to be accomodating and helpful. Nice guy, would definitely send someone his way. I want to make an additional comment on the business manager, she was very professional, no-nonsense and efficient, she completed the paperwork quickly and I was in and out of there in no time, not only that she shopped around and found me a lower int rate and called me the next day. Wow!! Great Service. Being a single parent is scary for me, but I felt like your employees understood me. I loved it!! I don't feel comfortable car shopping, frankly it's not my strong point and I'm not a good haggler at all, but I would definitely return to your dealership for business, you have 2 great staff that I met and worked with. Very professional - both of them and friendly. I was pretty impressed with your employees, usually I feel pretty yucky after leaving a car dealership but this time I felt like I was treated with respect and honor. Thanks Kendall, you just earned another customer because I will send someone your way. "
Shannon Kalb
Ford Customer
"I just wanted to send you guys a "shout out" to say thanks for having such a great team working for you. I am the Activities Director at Lone Oak Assisted Living Facility and we recently purchased a new Ford Bus and had some initial warranty work done at Kendall Ford. On the receipt was a coupon for a "complimentary deluxe wash" so I drove over to your Goodpasture location yesterday to get our bus all cleaned up. To my dismay our bus was way too big for the automatic wash and I was out of luck. I turned down the new car aisle to leave and saw your crew working on the display cars. I needed them to move their truck with the water tank so I could exit and they did, I explained my situation and they offered to help me out! They all pitched in and got my bus all cleaned up! They said "Compliments of Kendall!" Now that is what I call going above and beyond. This kind of customer service and hard work will keep me praising Kendall!! Thanks again!"
Mary Gilbert
Toyota Customer
"I wanted to write and let you know that I ended up buying a 98 Toyota from the used car lot her in Anchorage it might have more miles than I would have like but I'm counting on it holding up to the old Toyota standards. I also wanted to thank you for all your help and how great it was to work with such a great group of people, the guys in Anchorage and renewed my faith in the Car Salesman. Pun intended. Travis was so proffesional and knew his job and just got it done loved him. Randy the sales person was a great help and really did a great job. Now on to James in finance wow too funny what a great guy as tired as I was and as late as it was I just wanted to just sit and chat with him also an ace at what he does. I was there for four hours until they were actually locking the doors and everyone still had on a smile. I'm so impressed with your customer service it goes through the whole dealership not just one area and I'm positive I will be doing more business with you in the future. I also think that the employee attidudes at the dealership are a direct reflection of how the manager treats them. Kendall rocks!!! "
Jason Wudarski
Ford Customer
"When I arrived at the dealership I had two and a half hours before I had to head out to the airport. I was just going to look at the prices on the new F250's and come back later. Well, as soon as I got there, a salesperson was there to help me find my F250 and assured me that he could get me on the road to the airport within my timeframe. So, I ended up finding an F250 that I liked, bought and financed it and was on the road to pick up my buddy in my brand new truck right on time. This is the fifth Ford truck that I have bought and this was the best buying experience out of all of them. Thank you Kendall Ford!"
Richard Jay
Ford Customer
"Our salesperson at Kendall Ford was absolutely wonderful. He was very personal and friendly. He made us feel very comfortable. He involved our daughter in all conversations and made her feel like she was a part of the buying decision. We would recommend Kendall to all of our friends and would purchase from them again. Thank you for all of your help."
Jesus Trejo
Toyota Customer
"I have had friends recommend this dealership to me and when my car had problems, I remembered their comments. I live over 200 miles from the Kendall Toyota dealership in a small town with many capable mechanics. But I have since decided it is worth the trip to Anchorage because of the quality and amazing service that Kendall Toyota offers."

Another bollard vs car smash in Wimbledon town centre
11:33am Thursday 11th October 2012 in News By Omar Oakes
Major traffic is expected in Wimbledon town centre this morning after another car flipped over after crashing into a bell bollard.
The Virgin Media van crashed with the bollard, after turning right into Worple Road from Wimbledon Hill Road, at about 11.15am.
Fire crews and police are on the scene, but it is understood the driver did not require emergency treatment.
Sarah Davies, a lettings manager at Haart estate agent, said there is diesel spilling out into the road and there is already a major traffic buildup.
She said: "He had a friend following him in another Virgin Media van, and he helped him climb out after the crash.
"He looks like he's ok but the driver's side of the car is badly damaged.
"I am just speechless because this keeps happening and the council always refuse to take action.
"The same thing kept happening about eight or nine times last January and February, during the dark winter afternoons.
"Personally I think the junction is in the wrong place and needs to be moved back down Worple Road."
The road was closed by Merton police at 11.30am and has caused congestion to Hartfield Road.
The following buses have been diverted: 57, 131, 163, 164 and 219.
When a similar incident happened in September, the Merton Council's cabinet member for environmental sustainability and regeneration, Councillor Andrew Judge, said: "This is a very busy junction which is heavily used by pedestrians.
"The bollard protects them from vehicles. We ask motorists to be extra careful when driving at this junction."
Councillor Suzanne Evans, who represents Hillside ward, said Merton Council needed to launched a full consultation about how to minimise accidents at the junction.
She said: "How many accidents does it take before officers will do something? They are still telling me they're are not taking action.
"Yes there is an issue of driver error but the council has a responsibility to mitigate that and prevent injury."

As a driver: I don't care what anybody says, this junction is dangerous. When you're coming down the hill to turn right you have an awful lot to keep an eye out for and numerous simultaneous checks in order to take the turn. Often it's gridlocked with the busses turning right out of Worple Road which leads to obstruction of view. All too many times when the golden opportunity has arisen to make the manoeuvre I've had to slam on the brakes because a pedestrian has chosen to ignore the traffic signals.
As a pedestrian: I too have made a quick dash thinking it was clear and didn't have time to wait for the green man. I'd challenge anyone who said they were 100% vigilant at all times.
Yes, the bollard is for safety reasons. But why on earth isn't it a yellow, blue and white lit up or reflective bollard? Why is it just a bell shape on the ground with no luminosity whatsoever? It's very low, at wheel height whereas the lit up ones are up to window level usually. It's also dark grey/black. If this had happened only the once or twice you could put it down to bad luck/driving. This many times though is surely evidence enough for a thorough review. I've seen not one change in between all the other identical incidents.
You can say that it's done a great job and prevented the van/car from hitting a pedestrian on the footway but I think you're overlooking the point that the van actually could have landed on a pedestrian who may have been taking a chance running across the road.

cutitup wrote:Well yes of course it's driver error and poor driving. But if six or more cars have rolled at at the same junction in the same year something is wrong.
I like blaming the council as much as the next guy, but couldn't all these drivers just not drive into the bollard?
A barrier should stop a car going out of control, by either the driver seeing it in the first place or stopping the car in a controlled manor in a worst case senario (even if the driver is to blame).
Just think about it for a second, a car or van flipping on it's side is out of control and not something you want at a busy pedestrian crossing.
Just imagine for a second it was a larger van that rolled. It could well have gone careering onto the pavement and the consequences of that are something you really wouldn't want to think about.

I noticed last week that it had been removed, and I do wonder whether that is the cause of this new spate of accidents.

Wow... I can only hope that you never end up on the jury of an innocent man. They'd be screwed!
Re-take their driving test? I'm struggling to understand that one. Do you work for Merton Council by any chance? If so, then I'm no longer confused by your comment.
If not, then may I suggest you revisit some basic physics lessons. People like you should be made to take a course on common sense prior to commenting!

Funny you didn't comment on the latter part of my comment either.
There are many many factors to take into account here. Some of us have been debating them in this comments section. People like you making out that 'it's so simple' really really worry me.

Search Films by Country
After a series of burglaries on a middle-class Recife avenue, a private security team is hired by the residents—with ominous results. A gripping and expectations-upending slow-burn thriller from Kleber Mendonça Filho, Neighbouring Sounds is one of the first films from Brazil to deal with the clash between the archaic, exploitive class-based society of plantation owners and workers, and the more modern and egalitarian bourgeois society that Brazil has become. It is also superbly constructed, wonderfully acted and luminously filmed.
"A revelatory debut feature. Mr. Mendonça, a former film critic whose command of the medium is both formidable and subtle. The scope of his movie is narrow, but its ambitions are enormous, and it accomplishes nothing less than the illumination of the peculiar state of Brazilian (and not only Brazilian) society." AO Scott, New York Times
"I'd put money on the likelihood that Brazil's Kleber Mendonça Filho is on track to become a major filmmaker in the coming years." Gavin Smith, Film Comment
"A thoroughly modern, film-savvy opus (at times it suggests Cache as directed by Paul Thomas Anderson), steeped equally in dread and humor." Dennis Lim, Artforum
Produced by Fernando Meirelles (Blindness, City of God), the film focuses on the musical portion of the turbulent, inspiring cultural movement headed by Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso in the late 1960s. With a psychedelic aesthetic much in vogue at the time, the film mixes archival footage (some rarely seen), with interviews, animation, and cool graphics.
Join us for the opening of The Copacabana Social Club Series with a special event featuring the film Tropicalia, live music, food and a free Caipirinha!
Doors open at 7.00pm, Film at 7.30, followed by music and mixer. Tickets $20 ($22 non-members). No student/senior discounts, guest or volunteer passes apply.
The "Brazilian Beatles", Os Mutantes combined rock, psychedelia and South American sounds to spearhead the Tropicalia movement. A singer-songwriter who also played bass and the keyboards, Arnaldo Baptista gave the band its pulse - guitarist Sergio Dias was his brother, and lead singer Rita Lee became his wife. In 1973, though, everything fell apart, marriage, band, and eventually Baptista's health (copious binges on LSD did not help). Yet against the odds Baptista has been able to recover his creativity and his career. This intimate documentary has a powerful, sometimes painful story to tell. Baptista is joined by collaborators and admirers Gilberto Gil, Sean Lennon, Devendra Banhart and Roberto Menescal.
"A magnificent documentary." Claudio Carvalho
In the theater: applause and screams. On stage: young Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Roberto Carlos, Edu Lobo. Songs: "Roda Viva," "Ponteio," "Alegria, Alegria," "Domingo no Parque." It was a contest, but everybody won. This vivid record offers an invitation to relive the finale of the III Festival da Record, an event that forever changed the course of Musica Popular Brasileira.
This intimate documentary captures the great singer Maria Bethânia during a 60th birthday celebration in her hometown, Santo Amaro da Purificação—alongside family including brother Caetano Veloso—as well as an emotional performance in Salvador, Bahia.
Argentina, Spain, Brazil
The 12-year-old son of political dissidents fighting the brutal military junta in 1970s Argentina, Juan goes to school under an assumed name and gets his first crush on a girl. But when his parents suddenly need to pack up and run his life is changed forever.
"Most coming-of-age movies don't open with the prepubescent protagonist's mom and dad getting into a cartoon gunfight in the street—then again, there are lots of unusual touches in Argentine filmmaker Benjamin Ávila's feature. Blessed with old-school pedigree (producer Luis Puenzo made the Oscar-winner The Official Story) This '70s-set story of a boy (Teo Gutiérrez Romero) and his exiled revolutionary parents returning home on the sly follows a well-trod path of viewing history through a child's eyes. But the way the director throws in offbeat elements—animation, a Moonrise Kingdom–ish interlude in the woods, surreal dream sequences—without diluting the Dirty War drama is impressive." David Fear, Time Out New York
"A charming, involving first feature, Clandestine Childhood muscles its familiar coming-of-age material into something more vibrant and urgent than the usual. Through sharp editing and director Benjamín Ávila's moment-making brio, this '70s period piece charts a young boy's attempts to carve out something like a childhood despite being the son of wanted revolutionaries in the Argentina of General Jorge Rafael Videla, whose brutal government "disappeared" millions just like them." Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice

Notes from Under the Oaks
The year has just begun, but we're already pretty excited about October. Homecoming 2013 will kick off on Friday October, 11.
We expect hundreds of alumni to return to campus for reunions and other activities, including the football game against University of Puget Sound on Saturday, October 12. Mark your calendars!
Of course, excited as we are about Homecoming, we also have the rest of the year to look forward to. As we were visiting yesterday about our hopes for 2013, one of the things we all agreed we love best about our work is the small insight we get to have into special moments in the lives of Boxer alumni. Last year we got to share in the joy of 60 new jobs and other professional accomplishments, 54 marriages and 67 babies. That is whole lot of joy!
We also hope to see alumni in person. The calendar will be filled with opportunities for alumni to gather at events, but we also like to see alumni on campus. In fact the Abbott Center, which is home to our offices, is also home to two guests rooms where alumni can stay up to three nights for free! Give us a call or send us an email to reserve a room.
We'd love to hear your ideas and questions. If you live in the Portland-area I'd love to take you out for a meal just to hear your thoughts or share information about the University.
If nothing else we hope to see you at Homecoming 2013, which will be ever present in our minds as we spend the next nine months preparing for the big weekend. If your class year ends in a 3 or an 8 and you'd like to ensure your class gathers for a reunion, please contact me.
Until then, please keep in touch! Send us your stories and don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of assistance.
Best wishes,
Martha Calus-McLain '03
Director of Alumni Relations

Let's call this a modern spin on community planning; a digital drawing board where all ideas are on the table.
We present a vacant space or property and ask you to tell us what you think would be the best use. Forget what zone it's in, ignore setback regulations, dump lot coverage rules and all the other zoning jargon that puts most people to sleep. What would you like to see there? What would be the best use for the community?
Our inaugural installment of this column received a couple of great suggestions, as did our subsequent posts. Now, we're hoping you'll weigh in on the vacant building that sits on Route 22, between Citgo and Euro Fence. It once housed Prudential Serls Prime Properties, but it's been empty for at least eight months.
So, what do you think should become of the building? Should it remain as office space? Would it be a good spot for some sort of retail shop? If so, what kind? Or maybe you're thinking something else entirely.
Please leave your answer in the comments section below. Thanks for participating!
About this column: In highlighting vacant buildings in Southeast and Brewster, we aim to help residents take a proactive role in planning and building their community. We'll run this column every other Friday and, when appropriate, take your feedback to public officials and property owners, to inform their decisions about future uses. Know of a vacant building we should highlight? Email email@example.com.

Black Stone Cherry has a tradition of being home for the holidays, and while the band is in town they usually put on a show or two.
This year they're following tradition.
BSC is set to rock the historic Plaza Theatre on Friday, with a second show scheduled for Saturday.
"We love playing at home. It's always the show we are most critical of as we have many supporters from Day One that are there watching us, and we want to show our local folks a great show and make them proud," said Ben Wells, guitarist/vocalist.
The band had originally planned to do one concert, but added a second night due to a high volume of ticket sales.
"We sold over 100 tickets in the first 10 minutes, and the rest were gone by Nov. 1, about a month from the time they went on sale," said Jennifer Moonsong, public relations and promotions representative for the Plaza Theatre. "The second show, BSC Reprise, is set for the night of Saturday, Dec. 15. All we have left for tickets are reprise tickets; there are only a handful left on the main floor and a portion of the balcony.
"We are very excited about this back-to-back, double shot of Black Stone Cherry and extremely proud to bring them to the Plaza for the rock show of the season."
For the full story, see the print or e-edition of Thursday's Glasgow Daily Times.
