2011 Toyota Avalon
I bought a used Avalon 2000 model because cars lose so much in value. I know about cars and this 2000 car "a one owner car" with 100 thousand miles on it. As little as I drive, I figured this car would last me perhaps the rest of my life. Avalon's have a good reputation for long lasting.
All the years of dealing with cars I never thought ANYONE would get something over on me. I checked the entire car, I knew it has some slight damage at one time. It was weeks before I drove the car at night. When I finally did it was obvious she had an electrical short. The lights look like Christmas lights going down the street. Don't get me wrong anything is fixable on any car but I thought, "hey, perhaps it's time to pay retail for a car", so I bit the bullet, traded the 2000 in and bought my 2011. I did my best horse trading and got MUCH MORE than I paid when I trade the 2000 in. I'm not a typical buyer so I won't say "I got over on the dealer", I did not. I did get a good deal though.
Other than losing value, I'm glad I bought the car. I would never feel right selling that used 2000 to anyone. The dealer will just wholesell it out.
I've drove so many cars that the back head rest gives me no problem at all. I never used a nagavation system in life so I didn't order one. My kids bought me one two years ago and still never used it.
Tires, hmmmm, I don't know what kind of tires I'll need or what to buy. I am not a fan of Bridgestone tires either. I like Michelin's but I'm told I will pay for them if I want that brand. I never owned another Avalon so I can't say anything about '04 or 98's. I only owned the 2000 model for about a month. I can tell you that the 2000 was easier to drive. The steering was different. When I owned my business, we might have bought some Avalon's but we only owned the cars for days then we sold them. Sometimes I never even drove the cars/trucks I bought. I can't say for certain I bought any Avalon's back in those days
I'm very suprised to see you have less miles than I do on your Avalon, wow! I have 22 thousand miles and drove it mostly back and forth to Birmingham AL and home. My wife was going through breast cancer treatments and we had to drive down there about once a month.
This is one reason I broke down and bought a new one. The 2011 Avalon makes the trip so much easier. I'm glad I did. No inspections in the part of the state but I can see ok out the back. Again, it's because I drove so many different kind of cars and I guess I got use to not seeing everything. Thanks for sharing,
Most all owners of the 2011 Avalon's in here has wiper problems of some kind. I assume the 2012 also had the same problem since it's basically the same car.
MY OPINION: I would not worry because it's been in the shop for that. Smart to check car fax, make sure it's a one owner or a lease. Lease cars are good to buy, perhaps better than a one owner. Make sure you have a warranty on the car, if you don't then you MIGHT want to check into that. WHY? I hear a rear view mirror cost 1200 dollars. This is just an example. Hope this helps,
Anymore questions feel free to ask.
Just wondering why you feel leased cars are better to purchase than "one owner" ones? I would have thought the opposite.
Answer: I thought I might get this question without fully explaining myself.
First of all, there are different kind of leasing. I SHOULD have said corporate leasing. On Corporate leasing, they lease a fleet of lets say Avalon's. THEY have to be maintain regularly, this is part of the agreement in leasing. SO normally without exception, these cars have been serviced regularly. One owners cars are NOT always serviced regularly. Fleet leasing care are USUALLY brought to auction before the warranty is up. Then auctioned off. Usually right under the wire of the warranty running out.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not a "know it all". This was my business.
At big auctions, you would easy spot the difference between a repo car/cars and a fleet lease car. You'll see a fleet of lets say, Avalon's, or other type cars would be 100's (perhaps, sometimes only 30 or 40) of them together. Normally these are good cars. Again serviced regularly. I've bought tons of them. NOT Avalon's but tons of these kind of cars. Simply better than a one owner repo. At the dealship, it can be a one owner but it could be a repo one owner. In my day they didn't have car faxes. So I'm NOT sure if a car fax says the car was ever auctioned off.
NOW, individual leasing, that's a whole different ball game. I won't go into difference about individual leasing.
Times are different. In the 90's, it was not uncommon to see a lot of fleet leasing cars at auctions.
Hope this helps, Bill
fin atlantaPosts: 586This really is not my discussion, but... a good friend of mine spent decades at a major company that gave all managers and others with a certain job type company leased fleet cars. They were always maintained well. Company paid all the bills and the cars were kept in perfect condition although some had higher mileage than normal... still, they were a bargain for whoever got them...
Yea, of course I agree. These are big leases, giving to companies from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc. to big companies. In the agreement, or contract, they HAVE to maintain the vehicle. So every time the oil needs changing it's done, tires rotated it's done. All maintaince is kept up by the company. It's part of the deal.
I loved buying the fleet lease cars. They sold good with very little problems. I never saw Avalon's in the fleet lease cars, but I did see a LOT of Camerys.
Hope this helps, Bill
marv15 Posts: 32I agree with you. Other then the styling I was turned off by the interior. So I traded my Avalon 2011 for the 2012 that I will keep for a long time since the 2013 is a trend I don't like. I test drove it and found it finding every bump and letting me know about it. The 2011 or 12 is a softer ride that I enjoy and bigger inside.
ncee Posts: 419I'm just sad that they took a Very Nice Luxury car, and destroyed it:(
Yes, in my opinion.
Ok, so they didn't destroy it, but it is now a Very Nice SPORTS Luxury Sedan, and I have come to appreciate the Avalon as a True Luxury Sedan.
IF they had made this New Model, the same size as the 2010, 11, 12's, and gave it the same ride (or more comfortable), I think, it would have sold just as well. I say this, because it would have LOOKED the same as it does, just been a better car. And if folks are buying because of the new Look, Style, Fit, and trim, then why wouldn't folks still have purchased it, if it was a bit bigger, a bit smoother and a bit more quiet?
jwillin Posts: 16Wow. What a loss. I have a 2011 Avalon which means I will be keeping it for awhile. The 2013 doesn't sound very exciting to drive or even to own. After they decreased the size of the trunk, the only thing to like about the Avalon is that it is so big or has a large interior. You can really stretch out in it and enjoy the ride and also driving it. Thanks for the info.
I'm just sad that they took a Very Nice Luxury car, and destroyed it:(
I know what you are saying. Of course they didnt' destroy the car. I bet there are some that even love the NEW 2013 Avalon. HOWEVER, overall, I personally think they are getting away from their base sales. My opinion is that the older people are the main ones that buy these cars. I guess I'm old, I'm 56. Not old enough to be call old but feeling older.
I like the 2011 Avalon because it is big, I love the ride and don't mind paying a little more to ride around in luxury. Thanks for the input. I'll be keeping my for a while, unless I get that 32 thousand I'm asking.
I haven't owned an Avalon, but have respected them ever since 05 model debuted. I would be happy in one. The 12 especially impresses me, love the cabin.
My Lexus dealer told me, Toyota and Lexus is following the BMW lead, and moving toward producing a "reliable BMW". That means sportier, faster, and if you look at the stying trend of the dash, it's almost a knock off of the BMW dash, right down to the Mouse. Every manufacturer for decades has tried to reduce the average age of their buyers, Cadillac, Lincoln, Lexus, all of them. Yet, to me, that's a little odd since old guys have the money generally, and there continues to be a vast demand for luxosedanolas, like the Avalon. Pretty soon, 60 year old guys like me are going to be looking hard for a new car with a quiet, smooth ride and lots of relaxing room. Where will we go? I don't see what's so wrong with making one Avalon type model with these characteristics. Sure, we are all dying off, BUT, they make a new batch of 60 years olds EVERY DAY!!! We do renew....
chris_top_he_r Posts: 1Hot spit! I just registered here 2 minutes ago so don't know this user interface yet. Hope this goes to gringoviejo. If you or anyone wants our 2000 Avalon XLS we're trying to sell. All garage kept and dealer serviced. About 60K miles, absolutely great shape. Had it detailed. Current offer at $6500 and drives like a new car. Trying to get closer to $8000. Under hood looks newish also. Tring to fix a flashing light problem right now on it to help the sale. Other major forum lists different things to check. Starting tomorrow since dealer found nothing while having car for three days. Any advice is always welcome.
Good cheap car are usually easy to sell. The part of the country you live in DOES make a difference.
Seems like you have a pretty good ad started. I would mention any damage, if any, tell if it's a one owner mention that, etc, Plus the report card everyone is looking at today. Having a senior moment fire fox, something like that. Oh yea, clean car fax report. Don't lie about wrecks. The one owner I bought had nothing about the accident it was in. YET, the car had been hit on the back corner. An expert can spot it every time.
Hope this helps,
jim3 Posts: 19Drove into my son's yesterday, temp 14 degrees. We had the heater set-up high and floor heat. For most of the 2 and a half hour trip the floor heat was very good but the blower was blowing cool air all the way. Later on in the day we took the car out and got warm air blowing out the vents. Is there something I'm missing here? Or is the heater screwing up?

WESTERN MICHIGAN FOOTBALL SEASON PREVIEW The Western Michigan Broncos were one of the biggest surprises in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 2011 season, and posted a 7-6 record overall and a 5-3 record in the conference. With a strong win at Connecticut, a near upset against Illinois and a good showing against their MAC opponents, the Broncos demonstrated that they were no fluke and have improved steadily over the past several years. The team even managed a bowl berth for the first time in years, but fell to Purdue 37-32 in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Heading into the 2012 campaign, the Broncos have lost a few of their stalwarts on offense and defense, but should have enough returning pieces to make a run at a MAC title this year. The return of Alex Carder at the quarterback position should bode well for the Broncos, as his 31 touchdowns and 14 interceptions ranked near the top of the national rankings for efficiency. The Broncos should use a running back-by-committee approach again this year, including Tevin Drake and Brian Fields. Carder will have to deal without three of his top receiving targets from a year ago, but junior wideout Josh Schaffer and tight end Blake Hammond should be his primary options through the passing game. Four starters will also return from a solid offensive line, so the Broncos offense should be able to jump right back into the swing of things. On defense, the Broncos will return six starters but will have to replace the production of the departed MAC Defensive Player of the Year, Drew Nowak at defensive tackle. Travante Boles is expected to take his spot to anchor the run defense, while Freddie Bishop and Paul Hazel will provide pressure from the end spots. The linebacking corps looks like a bit of a question mark, as a smattering of underclassmen will be competing for the two spots in the middle of the defense. Finally, the secondary should be a much-improved unit, with Johnnie Simon taking over the hybrid linebacker/safety role, and Lewis Toler and Donald Celiscar manning the starting cornerback spots. If the Broncos will make the jump to MAC supremacy during 2012, their schedule will be quite favorable along the way. While they will have to face non-conference opponents like Illinois, Connecticut and Minnesota, the Broncos could easily cruise through their MAC schedule and find themselves in the championship game quite easily. If the offense can gel quickly and the defense can get back into top form, the Broncos could be an even bigger surprise in 2012.

February 05, 2011
Story at a Glance
Media Contacts
(Washington DC) – Today, Mayor Vincent C. Gray received his official furlough notice along with other District Government employees. In order to be furloughed, a period of non-duty, non-pay status, Mayor Gray was required to waive his compensation for the four holidays set forth in The Balanced Budget Holiday Furlough Emergency Act of 2011 that was unanimously approved by the Council on Tuesday, February 1, 2011.
"Like other employees, I believe it is only fair that I too share the sacrifice," said Gray. "It's the right thing to do. In these challenging times, we all must be willing to share the burden and shoulder the responsibility when public interest demands it."
Under the District's Charter, the Mayor's salary cannot be decreased during his term unless he signs a waiver to permit the action. Gray signed the waiver today and the action became effective immediately.
The Balanced Budget Furlough Emergency Act of 2011 implements the city's Budget Request Act that was introduced last year when Mayor Gray was Chairman of the Council. It authorizes the government to furlough full and part time employees for 4 legal public holidays. Those holidays include President's Day on Monday, February 21, D.C. Emancipation Day on Friday, April 15, Memorial Day on Monday, May 30 and Independence Day on Monday July 4.
Several groups are exempted from the furloughs including, uniformed members of the Metropolitan Police Department, emergency medical services personnel of the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department and employees in agencies with positions subject to a court order that specifically excludes such positions from furloughs.
Furloughs as an option to help save costs were first introduced in December 2010 by then Chairman Gray. According to DC Personnel regulations, a furlough can be conducted when "required for budgetary reasons" and with appropriate written notice to each affected employee. As part of the Fiscal Year 2011 $188 million gap-closing plan passed in December 2010, the Council approved a specified cost savings of $19,322,000 to be achieved through a District-wide furlough of District government employees, with some exceptions to ensure public health and safety, on 4 designated legal public holidays during Fiscal Year 2011.
For more detailed information and the proposed ruling amending the furlough provisions of Chapter 24 of the D.C. personnel regulations, Reduction In Force, visit the D.C. Department of Human Resources' HOMEPAGE link at www.dchr.dc.gov; under the heading "DCHR News."

Washington, DC -
09/29/2011 - Peter Baker, director of the Pew Environment Group's Northeast Fisheries Program and the Herring Alliance, issued the following statement today in response to the New England Fishery Management Council's decision to seek public input on a long-awaited set of proposed regulations that would be included under Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan."Today's vote invites the public to help guide how we improve the inadequate management of industrial fishing for Atlantic herring. In targeting this species off New England's coast, midwater trawlers often ensnare other fish, marine mammals and seabirds in nets hundreds of feet long, damaging this complex ocean ecosystem."We support the proposal that would require a federal observer on every midwater trawler trip to sample the entire catch. Onboard observers would finally allow fishery managers to verify what vessels are hauling in and would put the Atlantic herring fishery on par with others in the industry that use similar-size ships and gear. The release or dumping of unsampled catch by this fleet should not be allowed except under unusual circumstances, such as mechanical failure or when safety is a concern, and use of these exceptions should be carefully controlled."We agree with the Council's inclusion of an option that would prohibit directed fishing for Atlantic herring in areas where river herring—a related and severely depleted species—are caught in large numbers. Midwater trawlers should also be excluded from ocean areas with designations that protect rebuilding groundfish populations, because the massive nets scoop up almost everything in their paths."People in this region care about and depend upon their stretch of the Atlantic Ocean, one of the richest marine environments in the United States. All herring species play a critical role as a food source in this ecosystem. Our fisheries management should operate on scientific observations and keep enough fish in the water for generations to come."BackgroundThe New England Fishery Management Council is in the final stages of developing new monitoring and bycatch rules that would be included under Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan. The council will now prepare a draft of the new rules, which will then be released for a 45-day public comment period starting in early December. Public comments will be reviewed, and final management measures will probably be voted on at the Council's Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2012, meeting in Portsmouth, N.H.Herring are one of the most important prey species in the Atlantic Ocean, feeding whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds, as well as the fish many people love to eat―tuna, haddock, cod and striped bass. Similarly, coastal communities and their ocean-based tourism businesses depend on herring for sport fishing and whale and seabird watching.

It got there by riding piggyback.
Wood proposed a bill last month that would create a specialty license plate that would honor police officers killed in the line of duty. In Wood's original proposal, the plate would have cost $25. Of that money, $20 would go to the State Law Enforcement Memorial in Anniston and $5 would go to the National Police Memorial in D.C.
Wood's bill quickly cleared the House and was headed to the Senate for a vote Monday, the last day of the session. But when it came back to the House, the bill had been folded into a larger bill -- actually five or more bills mashed into one -- which some legislators were calling an "omnibus" license plate bill.
"It's part of the omnibus car tag bill," Wood said of his bill late Monday night.
According to Wood and other legislators, the omnibus bill, HHB215, started out as a brief bill that would let the state offer specialty college license plates for fans of out-of-state college teams.
In the Senate, House members say, lawmakers added a number of amendments, essentially tacking a number of other car tag bills onto it. The full text of the revised bill wasn't available Monday night, but Wood provided The Star with a summary of the other bills added to HB215. They included a bill by Sen. Gerald Dial, R-Lineville, allowing distinctive license plates for motorcycles and a bill by Rep. Steve Hurst, R- Munford, that changes vehicle weight requirements to make them consistent with federal rules.
The "omnibus" version of Wood's license plate proposal would increase the cost of a fallen-officer plate from Wood's proposed $25 per tag to $50 per tag. Wood has said he's not sure how much money the tag would generate for the police memorial.
The House passed the omnibus bill Monday, sending it on to the governor for approval.

Jewish Women in Civil Rights - Harriet Tanzman
Harriet Tanzman was born in 1940 in Brooklyn, New York and grew up in Far Rockaway in Queens. Harriet grew up in a predominantly Jewish part of Rockaway, where there was some diversity; the two largest groups were Jews and Blacks. Harriet remembers being upset at some residents' and fellow high school students' prejudiced comments because they ran counter to the very liberal Jewish set of values with which she had been raised. Tanzman chose to continue her studies at the University of Wisconsin because of its reputation for progressive faculty and students. As a member of the W.E.B. Du Bois Club, Tanzman also worked with the local Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) chapter.
Tanzman first considered going South after hearing some Freedom Riders speak in 1961. In the summer of 1963, she heard Gloria Richardson, of the Cambridge, Maryland movement speak during a visit to California about how she endured death threats and physical repression in a violent fight to end school segregation. Tanzman recalls, "She basically invited us. There is this work to be done and you could participate." In September of 1963, she started a graduate program in Social Work at Wisconsin, but after JFK's assassination in November of that year, she quit school and went to work in the Atlanta Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee office. She worked in Atlanta until January of 1964, and then went back to Wisconsin for a semester of graduate work in history. She remained connected to the civil rights movement through her involvement with CORE. However, after hearing Diane Nash speak on campus, she felt a strong pull to return to the South.
From late 1964, to June 1965, Harriet worked with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in Alabama. She first worked in Gadsden with a black organizer, Ben Luchion. Then, following orders from SCLC leaders, Harriet returned to Selma, teaching reading and other skills to local people from January to June 1965. Later, Harriet worked on a Southern Conference Educational Fund project in New Orleans. She returns to the South as much as possible and remains involved in local political issues. She has worked as a historian and chronicler of the movement with a number of organizations and institutions, including NYU's Tamiment Library. Her current activities include work at WBAI, New York's progressive radio station.
Harriet Tanzman spent a year working for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in Selma, Alabama where she was completely devoted to her literacy work.
So much of myself was put into the work that it was enormously emotionally satisfying. It was incredibly satisfying. I mean I've never met people quite like some of the people I met in Selma and in the South, and at a certain point there were hundreds of people involved. And you're talking about mass meetings every night of the week. And enormously courageous people of all ages-very little ones to elderly. So for me, I was just always learning I really had a lot to learn.
Tanzman further describes her experiences as an SCLC worker and the impact it had on her:
Teaching people who knew an enormous amount about survival, about caring, about giving, about seeing old people as neighbors and family, but who didn't have some of the basic skills at all. So I taught but I also taught them to teach. You know, neither of these things did I know how to do beforehand. And I was able to do things that I never knew I could do. I mean it took the best of us, the movement, whether we were eighteen or twenty-five. It empowered our lives. We felt that we could do many things that none of us knew we could do before. And we were always surrounded by many role models.

In between, he had 11 years as an assistant at Handley. He was on Handley's staff when the Tigers went 15-0 and won the Class 3A title in 2011.
Fordham now emerges from that chute ready to take on the head-coaching role again, for a program that's known success and wants it back.
"I hope I won't make as many mistakes as I made early on when I was a young head coach," Fordham said.
Wadley fans have brought their hopes to Fordham and his staff of volunteer assistants, including former Auburn University and Wadley receiver Terrell Zachery. The Bulldogs have endured three losing seasons since Randy Sparks won 120 games from 1995-2009.
Wadley finished 4-6 and in a three-way tie for fourth in Class 1A, Region 4 in 2012 and missed the playoffs.
Fordham went 30-33 in six seasons as a head coach, three at Chambers Academy and three at Beulah. His last season as a head coach was 2001.
The Randolph County native came back home for his stay as an assistant at Handley. The one-time Wadley assistant became the school's head coach in July, after Darrell Roach resigned.
Fordham said he sees an opportunity for resurgence at Wadley. He likes the talent he saw coming up the ranks in recreation-league ball.
"I sort of knew what was coming right here, right now and what's coming, as well," he said. "My youngest son, we had played them in rec league for a lot of years, and they were beating the daylights out of us.
"I knew there was going to be an opportunity for good things."
Wadley has up-and-coming talent, led by running back Kamaury Avery. Just a sophomore, he saw regular action as an eighth-grader and averaged 118 yards a game last season.
At 6-foot-0, 225 pounds, Avery seems well suited for the offensive change Fordham will bring. The Bulldogs will go from being a spread team to a multiple-I formation, power team.
Wadley also will return Chandler McClain, who transferred from Handley after playing for Handley's title team in 2011. He'll play running back, strong safety and wide receiver.
"He's going to be the kid that can go everywhere and anywhere," Fordham said.
Wadley also returns Glen Depriest at guard and defensive end, Bradley Melton at center and defensive end and wide receiver/defensive back Devin Freeman.
At quarterback, there's Caleb Calhoun, a part-time starter in 2012.
"They played him a lot at the end of last year," Fordham said.
Wadley will also have another Fordham. Junior fullback/linebacker John David Fordham came over from Handley, with his dad.
The Fordhams come to a program what won four region titles from 2000-05 and hopes to challenge region powers Loachapoka and Notasulga for another.
"There's some talent that's there that shows up early every single day," Ken Fordham said. "We practice every day at 4 o'clock, and they're already in here working out, and they're already in here getting their stuff ready."
His new players sense that he's just as eager.
"We work out more," McClain said. "He gets us in shape better than last year. We weren't ready last year."
Ken Fordham is plenty ready to take the lead whistle again.
"I guess, when you pray about things, things happen," he said. "That played a big part into it. It felt right to do it, and I hope it's going to be right to do it."

Wadley at a glance.
Head coach: Ken Fordham (30-33 in six seasons as head coach at Beulah, Chambers Academy; entering first season at Wadley and first season as a head coach since 2001; was assistant at Handley).
Last year's record: 4-6, tied for fourth in Class 1A, Region 4. Did not make the state playoffs.
Outlook: After three mediocre seasons, Bulldog backers are ready for a return to the success they enjoyed under Randy Sparks, who went 120-58 from 1995-2009. They've turned to Fordham, who has six years of experience as a head coach and spent 11 years as an assistant at Handley. He was on Handley's staff when the Tigers won the 3A title in 2011. The sense is that Wadley has a good group of players coming up from rec-league ranks, and the Bulldogs are close to resurgence.

Summary of Persuasion Summary of Persuasion Reviews for Persuasion An Excerpt from Persuasion
Jane Austen's debut in our award-winning graphic-cover series.
Written during Jane Austen's race against failing health, Persuasion tells the story of Anne Elliot, a woman who-at twenty-seven-is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years ago, she was persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. When Anne and Frederick meet again, he has acquired both, but still feels the sting of her rejection. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Austen's last completed novel is also a movingly told love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

The Democratic-led 111th Congress has been enacting key measures to improve the lives of America's women and their families; in sharp contrast, Republicans are out-of-touch with women's concerns and have consistently opposed these gains.
America is moving forward, and Democrats will continue to focus on creating good jobs for women, expanding opportunities for women-owned small businesses, better supporting working women at home and in their jobs, protecting Medicare from Republican voucher schemes, and preserving Social Security from Republican plans to privatize and cut it. Protecting Social Security is key for women; 58% of Social Security recipients are women and for a majority of women over 65, Social Security provides more than half of their income.
One of the very top issues for American women is equal pay for equal work. The first substantive bill enacted into law in the 111th Congress was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. It restored the right of women and other workers to challenge unfair pay--by reversing the May 2007 Ledbetter v Goodyear Supreme Court decision that overturned precedent and made it much more difficult for workers to pursue pay discrimination claims. The bill restored prior law--allowing a complaint to be filed within 180 days of a discriminatory paycheck, not of an employer's first decision to discriminate. The bill was supported by many groups, including AAUW, Business and Professional Women, and the Women's Chamber of Commerce. 98% of House Republicans voted NO, including the House GOP Leadership.
As with all Americans, American women want a fair shot at getting and keeping a good job--during a struggling economy caused by the Bush recession. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the Recovery Act has been responsible for up to 3.3 million jobs nationwide through June 2010. The Recovery Act included numerous provisions to expand job opportunities and job training for women, including in non-traditional careers like hundreds of thousands of new clean energy jobs and skills training and expanded opportunities for women in the transportation industry. An independent report by two prominent economists, including an advisor to the McCain for President campaign, concluded that the Recovery Act and certain actions by the Federal Reserve helped prevent a second Great Depression--and that, without them, we would have lost an additional 8 million jobs and unemployment today would be over 16%. That would have been a disaster for American women and their families. 100% of House Republicans voted NO, including the House GOP Leadership.
Millions of American women own a small business--and have had trouble getting critical access to credit in the Bush recession. The Small Business Jobs Act unlocked up to $300 billion in private sector lending to them and included 8 new small business tax cuts, worth $12 billion. 99% of House Republicans voted NO, including the House GOP Leadership.
Protecting our children from health dangers is a primary responsibility of government--and this Congress has made great strides to protect children from the dangers of smoking and from the nightmare of contaminated food.
Every day, more than 3,500 children try a cigarette for the first time, and another 1,000 will become new, regular daily smokers. One-third of these youth will eventually die prematurely as a result. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, enacted in 2009, grants the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate the advertising, marketing, and manufacturing of tobacco products, including banning all outdoor tobacco advertising within 1,000 feet of schools and playgrounds; restricting vending machines and self-service displays to adult-only facilities; requiring retailers to verify age for all over-the-counter sales; and providing for federal enforcement and penalties against retailers who sell to minors. 56% of House Republicans voted NO, including the House GOP Leadership.
Each year, more than 325,000 Americans are hospitalized and 5,000 die from consuming contaminated food. In just the last few years, there has been a string of food-borne illness outbreaks in foods consumed by millions of Americans each day--from spinach to peppers to peanut butter. The House passed a landmark food safety bill, the Food Safety Enhancement Act, that makes several long-overdue repairs to our broken food safety system--giving the FDA new powers and tools to ensure our food is safe. It requires more frequent inspections of food processing facilities; gives FDA the authority to order a food recall if a company fails to do so when requested; and takes steps to ensure that imported foods meet safety standards. 69% of House Republicans voted NO on this bill, including the House GOP Leadership--and the bill has been held up in the Senate by threats of Republican obstruction.
Under the abusive practices of many health insurers, being a woman has essentially been treated as a pre-existing condition. In the individual insurance market, where millions of woman purchase coverage every year, women have suffered enormous discrimination for decades--many health insurers have treated pregnancy, having had a C-section, and even being the victim of domestic violence as a pre-existing condition. These health insurers have also used "gender rating"--charging women more than men for the same coverage. The Affordable Care Act requires health insurance companies to stop discriminating against women when reforms are fully implemented in 2014--eliminating pre-existing conditions and stopping insurers from being able to charge women more than men for the same coverage. 100% of House Republicans voted NO on this bill, including the House GOP Leadership. House Republican Leader Boehner has continually vowed that the number-one priority of a Republican Majority would be to repeal the health reform bill.
All American children deserve to have a healthy start in life. One of the cruelest practices of America's health insurance industry has been denying children with pre-existing conditions coverage--or dropping them from coverage when they get sick. The Affordable Care Act ended those practices for new plan years starting in September under the new Patient's Bill of Rights. It also gives comfort to parents of adult children under the age of 26--who can finally stay on their parents' insurance policy if they need it. 100% of House Republicans voted NO--and they threaten to repeal these historic gains.
The second substantive bill enacted into law in the 111th Congress provided health care coverage for 11 million children. The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Reauthorization Act preserved coverage for 7 million children covered by CHIP and extended coverage to 4 million uninsured children who are eligible for, but not yet enrolled in, CHIP and Medicaid. The bill was fully paid for by increasing the tobacco tax. 77% of House Republicans voted NO, including the House GOP Leadership--opposing legislation which simply strengthened the popular, bipartisan Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Founding Members
Visit WTJU Twice
Saturday, May 19, 2012
Sunshine Daydream
12-2 pm
Jumpin' on the Bed
4-6 pm
Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins, founding members of Donna The Buffalo, will stop by WTJU twice in one day on Saturday, May 19, when Donna The Buffalo are in Charlottesville for a concert that evening at the Jefferson. They will first appear on Sunshine Daydream, and then later return for a visit on Jumpin' on the Bed.
Donna the Buffalo's feel-good, groove-oriented, danceable and often socially conscious music all began over twenty years ago with roots in old time fiddle music that evolved into a soulful electric Americana mix infused with elements of cajun/ zydeco, rock, folk, reggae, and country. Donna the Buffalo is known for touring the country remaining fiercely independent as one of the industry's most diverse roots-music bands and has "earned a reputation as one of the most respected, eclectic and hardest-working acts today," praises Encore.
"Donna the Buffalo is in the enviable position of being a homegrown entity, a group that finds itself outside the coloring lines of the accepted formula, a formula that is now in the past tense...People doing what they love, and better, sharing that passion to the benefit of the public, is the strongest business formula ever written. Donna the Buffalo is living proof of that. Lucky for them. Lucky for us. Everybody wins!," states Beat Magazine. Edd Hurt with the Nashville Scene writes, "Folkies with a superior sense of rhythm are rare enough, but folkies with a good beat and a healthy disrespect for eclectic clichés are a national treasure....they've never sounded better...they make music that's beautiful but never prettified."
The dynamic songwriting tandem of vocalists Jeb Puryear and Tara Nevins have penned over 180 songs in their collaboration with DTB and have many more in the making. Although never writing a set list for live show, the Erie Times notes, "they stick to a pattern...usually alternating between Puryear's rhythmic, Dylan-influenced, guitar-centered songs and Nevins' breezy, melodic, accordion-driven gems like the folksy Tides of Time and infectious Locket and Key." As of late, Nevins and Puryear have also been known to perform as a duo on air and at live shows, which is always enjoyable to the fans to hear their favorite DtB songs in stripped down arrangements.
Donna the Buffalo has been working on a 10th album with Puryear on guitar, Nevins on fiddle, guitar, accordion, and scrubboard, keyboardist Dave McCracken, bassist Kyle Spark, and new Atlanta-based drummer Mark Raudabaugh. Donna the Buffalo has released nine albums and are affiliated with several others, including a Puryear's 2007 solo album Hopes and Dreams and a 2003 release, Wait Til Spring, with Jim Lauderdale. The band's 2008 release Silverlined, on Sugar Hill, rose to #8 on the Americana Music Chart.
Co-DtB bandleader and American roots traditionalist, Tara Nevins, released Wood and Stone (2011), her first solo album since Mule to Ride in 1999 on Sugar Hill Records on May 3rd, 2011. Wood and Stone showcases her ever-evolving repertoire as she journeys both back to her own "roots" and head-long into new territory. The album was produced by Larry Campbell with guests including Levon Helm, Jim Lauderdale, Allison Moorer, Teresa Williams and more.
"... her music takes on the spirit of the [Levon Helm] Barn like a well-worn and cozy Gypsy jacket that was tailored to her shoulders," says Brian Robbins with Jambands.com. In a another recent review of the album, Wildman Steve wrote, "If heroes and heroines of rock 'n' roll are defined by their uniqueness, they definitely broke the mold when they made Tara Nevins."
With over twenty years to celebrate, hundreds of gigs ahead of them, and an ever-evolving grassroots sound; it looks like Donna the Buffalo is riding a cloud that is truly Silverlined.

Hey, I finally read Hush the other day and I thought it was pretty decent (I like the Bruce and Selina relationship.) I was wondering if anyone thinks the follow-ups, Heart of Hush and House of Hush are worth reading? Thanks
Hey, I finally read Hush the other day and I thought it was pretty decent (I like the Bruce and Selina relationship.) I was wondering if anyone thinks the follow-ups, Heart of Hush and House of Hush are worth reading? Thanks
I would recommend them both. House of Hush suffered during its original serialization in Streets of Gotham because it often skipped issues, or appeared only in very brief segments. However, it was a solid story IMO and should read fine in the collected edition.
The only Hush collection which should be avoided at all costs is the dreadful Hush Returns.

Co-moderator, CBR Batman Forum
Yeah, Hush Returns was a MAJOR letdown, it should've been a LOT better. Heart of Hush was great, and Hush Money was not only a worthy follow up to that story, but a necessary read as well. It's a great set up for House of, and yes, by all means get the trades. The three make a very nice trilogy :)
I want scott snyder to bring hush back into the spotlight after his riddler story.
The sheer spectacle of the original hush story and dini's expanding on the character make him someone I want to see stick around.
Grandparents dead - please no jokes

It became a bit like those old Universal Horror films with all the Hush sequels. For a shoehorned, Sentry style, continuity implant, he was actually a decent character.
"Mistah Joker, he dead."
Heart of Hush is great. One of my favorite Alfred moments, and one of my favorite Bruce/Selina moments, are from Heart of Hush.
Heart of and House of are both pretty great, and kind of surprisingly considering when they occurred, both star Bruce!
Retrospectively they're both kind of perfect sequels to "Hush" because they feature Catwoman heavily (like Hush) and also feature Hush utilizing classic members of the Rogues Gallery in unique ways. It's cool to think of how that worked out, and how they really do play out as proper "sequels" to the original Hush. Plus, Dustin Nguyen artwork up the wazoo! Actually Hush Money can totally be looked at in this context, too.
I'd also recommend Batman: Gates of Gotham. The whole Hush/Penguin similarities were so great.

First 30 Days Blog
A Revolution of Tenderness
The power of tenderness.
It is in your self-interest to find a way to be very tender. ~ Jenny Holzer
The tender skin of one touching the tender skin of another, causing an exquisite encounter, not possible in any other way.
The tender eyes that want nothing from the world, except to welcome and embrace all that generously spills into view.
The tender heart that loves simply for love's sake, rather than for what one might get out of loving.
Some tender places of the heart can only be known in relationship, when one is willing to lay down arms, open the heart and wait, exposed.
I know the power of tenderness.
We all know the power of tenderness.
Revolution begins with changes in the individual. ~ Jenny Holzer
We already know, well, revolutions of domination, where 'power over' has all but brought the human race to death's door.
We know the power of tenderness in intimate moments.
What if we were to realize that it is in our own self-interest to engage in a revolution of tenderness?
What if we were to realize that the power of tenderness is so much greater than the power of tyranny?
I, too, wonder how this might happen, how we shift from tyranny to tenderness.
Those that engage in domination and destruction stand in a perspective that sees tenderness as weakness, not strength.
But, I also know the only way to begin a revolution within is with a tender 'yes', a surrendered 'yes'.
It begins with trusting that ultimately, the power of tenderness rather than the power of domination will be what saves us.
Which is the more powerful act?
Somewhere within each of us is a place that dominates and condemns – others and ourselves. This place is the most tender of places, because, it fears tenderness, yet longs to be showered with it. This place learned to dominate early. It learned to condemn and judge at an early age. When tenderness was what this place was longing for, instead it received judgment. Somewhere this place believes judgment and condemnation are the best way to be strong in an unsafe world; yet, if you check-in closely, what's really going on is a longing to be touched with tender hands, to be seen, really seen, with tender eyes, and to be held and embraced by the most tender places of the heart. Hence, it is in your own self-interest to be tender.
We may fear being tender and loving will be seen as weak by those that continue to shower our beautiful world with hate, violence, oppression and greed. And as long as we see it as being weak, they will. When we know the strength of tenderness as a gift to ourselves, and when we see the powerful effects of the offering of tenderness to another, the perspective that 'tenderness is weakness' can begin to shift.
Try it. Feel the effects it has on you and others. Compare these to the moments when you judge and condemn others. Then, ask yourself, truly look to see, which is the more powerful act? Which way of being requires true vulnerability and fierce loyalty to love?
We've all judged and been judged. We've all condemned and been condemned We've all dominated and been dominated.We all know these experiences. What if we were to caress another's ragged coat of life with the tender touch of one who knows these things intimately? This is the real revolution of tenderness that is poised to unfold.

First week back…Spring '09 January 16th. 2009, 3:13pm
Welcome back! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas break, I know I definitely did! The holidays were wonderful and I had a great time being able to enjoy a little more free time with friends and family.
But wow, what a week! This week didn't go exactly as I hoped it would. It was pretty hectic and stressful. It was probably one of the most stressful beginnings of a semester yet. At the last minute I had to change my whole schedule around which resulted in me stalking the MCC site to ensure I got in the classes I needed… somehow it finally worked it self out. After putting in the CRN's for the classes I needed so many times I wound up memorizing all of them and they opened up at just the right time – thank goodness! I now have a new found appreciation for anyone that has had to go through that. I know now how it feels. It is somewhat unsettling not knowing for sure if things are going to work out how you had hoped and planned.
This semester I am also taking Tuesday/Thursday classes for the first time. I'm sure it will be nice having to go one less day but it might take a little getting use to the longer classes. I'm taking three classes on campus and one online. I am happy that this week is over…but despite all of the craziness it was still good and I am looking forward to all of my classes. Good luck to everyone as we get back in the swing of things!

Second Compounding Pharmacy Shut Down in Massachusetts
As meningitis outbreak reaches 344 cases, state inspectors cite 'significant' problems at Infusion Resource facility
Compounding pharmacies aren't subject to the same FDA oversight as regular drug manufacturers are, but some members of Congress now say the meningitis outbreak highlights the need for more regulatory control.
Meningitis is a potentially fatal inflammation of the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Federal health officials said last week that fungus found in steroid injections produced by the company matched the fungus linked to the meningitis outbreak. The officials said they'd confirmed the presence of the fungus, Exserohilum rostratum, in unopened vials of a steroid produced by the New England Compounding Center.
The steroid, methylprednisolone acetate, is injected into patients for back and joint pain. The company has since shut down operations and stopped distributing its products, health officials said.
The CDC and state health departments estimate that roughly 14,000 patients may have gotten steroid injections from the three lots, and nearly 97 percent of them have been contacted for medical follow-up.
All of the fungal meningitis patients identified so far were thought to be injected with methylprednisolone acetate from the Massachusetts pharmacy, according to the CDC.
Seven of the 344 cases involve what the CDC calls "peripheral joint infection," meaning an infection in a knee, hip, shoulder or elbow. These joint infections aren't considered as dangerous as injections near the spine for back pain that have been linked to the potentially fatal meningitis infections.
The FDA said it was advising all health care professionals to follow up with any patients who were given any injectable drug from or produced by the New England Compounding Center. These drugs include medications used in eye surgery, and a heart solution purchased from or produced by the company after May 21.
The CDC on Saturday had the following state-by-state breakdown of cases: Florida: 22 cases, including 3 deaths; Georgia, 1 case; Idaho, 1 case; Illinois, 1 case; Indiana: 44 cases, including 3 deaths; Maryland: 19 cases, including 1 death; Michigan: 82 cases, including 5 deaths; Minnesota: 9 cases; New Hampshire: 11 cases; New Jersey: 18 cases; New York: 1 case; North Carolina: 2 cases, including 1 death; Ohio: 13 cases; Pennsylvania: 1 case; South Carolina: 1 case; Tennessee: 74 cases, including 10 deaths; Texas: 1 case; Virginia: 43 cases, including 2 deaths.
Health officials said they expect to see more cases of the rare type of meningitis, which is not contagious, because symptoms can take a month or more to appear.
Infected patients have developed a range of symptoms approximately one to four weeks following their injection. People who have had a steroid injection since July, and have any of the following symptoms, should talk to their doctor as soon as possible: worsening headache, fever, sensitivity to light, stiff neck, new weakness or numbness in any part of your body or slurred speech, the CDC said.
Infected patients must be treated with intravenous drugs in a hospital.
