"Dodge does it again! One of the best trucks of its type that I have driven. For her age, you can't get better. Lots of power, responds well and with safety in mind, tinted side windows, no tipping side to side, solid roadhugger. If you don't require a lot of fancy electronics and interior stuff, shes for those who prefer Practical and comfy to Luxury. Has cup holders, auto trans, shift on wheel, a/c and climate control, cruise, stereo radio, cd, seatbelts, ceiling lites, nice heater, upholstered interior, Leather. Mine doesn't have the running boards and handles to grab in order to get in. She's a little highup for me as a Senior, so would like these as standard equipment. The radio is cumbersome to operate when you want to get to a particular station (can't get her off the autoscan) especially for weather reports (important when on long trips). And need something easier to operate for clock. Sound is very good, and good visibility for the driver. Gas mileage is pretty decent for this vehicle. I get 13-15 mpg carrying no heavy cargo. She has 3 bench seats holding 9 passengers behind the driver, so with 2 in front that makes 11 total seating capacity. The most serious drawback to this vehicle (a 2000) is the side windows are not power and one has to unlock the small push-out handle. The windows only open part way and they are the pushout type, good for safety but could be a problem re enough ventilation on hot days. Also rust can form on the handles. This can be improved upon. Because these vehicles are scarce and becoming more so, I will keep mine and have my Restorer give me what I need. Remove some of the bench seats and you've got a great cargo van and a great little movingvan. Great for animals and all your stuff. A couple Great Danes or Mastiffs can fit comfortably. This type vehicle is not for just anyone. For those who like big and roomy, and a smooth ride and good window visibility, easy Driver, You feel safe, then this may be your dreambaby. Sorry, you can't have mine, but hope you find yours."

"First off, the pictures don't do this van justice. It is HUGE. Which is exactly what I wanted. When is says you can seat 15 people, you can actually seat 15 people comfortably. I bought this van for my band to tour in (basically live in on the road). Let me say, it has enough space for whatever you plan on using it for. I've seen people build bunkbeds in these things. If you are looking for a van for hauling equipment, people, basically anything in....this is the van for you. The seats are easily removed and create a HUGE cargo space. I have hauled a giant Harley in the back of this thing, and still had a row of seats in it. I've toured with 6 guys who had to all sleep in it, and we were able to do so comfortably. You just have to get creative. Obviously, the only drawback is the lack of fuel efficiency. However, if you are looking for a big car, don't expect to get any kind of normal gas milage unless you get a sprinter. Overall, this thing is great. 200,000+ miles and still kicking off the original everything in the engine. I know people who have gone 400,000 miles on the factory transmission. You just have to take care of it. Like any car."

"I have owned my Dodge Ram 2500 12-passenger (we added the 3rd seat) van for about 8 years now. I absolutely LOVE my van. Plenty of space. Runs really well. Tows our pop-up (and a few rental trailers) beautifully. The body just started to rust this past year (it is 12 years old), with a few patches here and there. The interior has held up really well, even with dozens of kids, adults, bikes, fishing poles, kayaks, furniture, and even a kitchen sink being hauled in it! You can fit just about anything in this van: when we vacation we put 4 kids, 2 adults, a dog, 4 bikes, suitcases, coolers, beach stuff, and a TV with DVD IN the van and still have room to move! The only drawback is the gas mileage...under 12 mpg. It now has 160,000 miles on it and has had a new radiator, new shocks/struts, new tires, and a thermostat in the past 8 years. Which is hardly any repairs for 8 years!"

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 165,000

Cons: "Wind noise on highway, MPG, back barn door."

"This is my second full size Dodge 3/4 ton van, Dodge calls it a "wagon" as it has seating and windows all around. Both based on a 12 pass setup, 127" wheelbase, the suspension package is head and shoulders better than the half ton version that sways and "wallows". The first one was a 1981, powered by a slant six and HD Torqueflite trans, it was bulletproof, had great gas mileage, but was fairly plain with a rubber floor and heavy vinyl seating. The paint quality was poor, the body needed work after 300,000 miles, but it was the family car, truck, and RV for more than 15 years. The 1996 was luxury by comparison, SLT package means power windows, locks, key-less entry, dark window tint all around, and attractive heavy cloth upholstery, chrome wheels, best of all front and back ice cold A/C. This van has the 5.2 L Magnum V8, lots of power, but averages 15 MPG, with the 4 speed OD transmission and tow package. Like it's predecessor this van at 165,000 miles has never broken down or been unreliable. We often took it to Florida for family vacations, approx. 1500 miles in 26 hours (each way). It always had regular maintenance. Now that the family is grown it doesn't get the use or the miles it used to. Rust has not been a problem in spite of New England salty winter roads and a home near the ocean. Worst problem is wind noise on the highway. Considering it's estimated value, I can't find a reason to sell it, or what vehicle could offer the versatility to replace it."

"Bought our 1998 MaxiVan used in 1999 with 47,000 miles and used it for many years for hauling around our kids, teenaged foster children and dogs, and also for going on summer road trips with them. The engine size is very powerful, and even fully-loaded at 80MPH, the van seemed to float along the freeway. Using a roof rack makes the vehicle unstable, so we took out the back bench seat to accommodate bags, food boxes, sporting equipment, camping equipment & whatever. We also installed a tow hitch and used a Thule bike rack on the back to hold four full-sized bikes. The best places for child safety and booster seats were in the seats closest to the windows as that's where the seat belts with shoulder straps were. There are PLENTY of design improvements that could be made to this vehicle, and hopefully they've been made since 1998. When you want to haul tall passengers with long legs and a bunch of stuff, a full-size van is the only way to go. We've had no problems at all with rust, but have had endless wear problems with the brakes. Always there's some part of the brake system that needs repair. Just now, 11 years and 75,000 miles later (total miles 122,500), the transmission has gone out and we're chewing over what do next. (We don't have any kids or foster children at home any more.)"

By Jamie Dupree
The Tuesday morning announcement of a Supreme Court pick is a reminder of how a White House can drive the news cycle. But it's also a reminder of what the loyal opposition didn't do.
For the last few weeks, there has been speculation on when the President would nominate someone for the Supreme Court.
Last week, there were even reports that Mr. Obama would name someone before leaving on an overseas trip in the first week of June.
So it wasn't really too off the wall to think that a nomination would occur either this week or next.
Tactically, this week seemed the smartest for the White House. Why?
Because Congress is out of town on break this week, and that would mean likely GOP critics would be spread far and wide.
And they were.
I thought Republicans might have come up with a plan to "staff" DC with one GOP Senator from the Judiciary Committee, just to be able to lay down some markers on a nominee.
But there were no GOP Senators to be found in the Capitol on Tuesday.
So while President Obama spoke at the White House, there was no one speaking back, except in written statements.
Those statements might look good in the paper, but they don't resonate too well on radio and TV.
Why didn't the Republican hierarchy see this one coming?
It's a reminder that if you are going to take on the White House, you better have all your bases covered.

Corneal Flash Burns OverviewEyes, particularly the cornea (the clear window of tissue on the front of the eyeball), can be easily damaged by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from other sources of ultraviolet light, such as a welder's arc, a photographer's flood lamps, a sun lamp, or even a halogen desk lamp. The cornea takes the brunt of the damage if proper eye protection is not worn, such as dark glasses or goggles while skiing in bright sun. A corneal flash burn (also called ultraviolet [UV] keratitis) can be considered to be a sunburn of the eye surface.

One of several offerings from another new micro-manufacturer in San Francisco. Dandelion appear to be making more of an effort than most, in terms of both conceptual design and careful experimentation before releasing any new chocolate. As a result, this bar comes with a level of anticipation; one may expect at least reasonable results. The origin is one of the most well-known and this represents their second go at the source, so presumably all the lessons of the last batch have been applied to this one. A bar to expect much of.

Perhaps the best of Dandelion's chocolates (to date) and a very impressive effort for a new manufacturer. True to form, this chocolate displays impressive fruitiness along with a refinement that puts it in front of its peers in the Dandelion line. By any standard this would be fine chocolate and can compete on equal terms with great chocolates from more established companies like Amano or Pralus.
Even before opening, the simply lovely package design of Dandelion's chocolates: patterned heavy paper with very heavy foil within, speaks of elegance, although the bar within is perhaps a little less elegant than its wrapping. Clear marks of uneven temper and moulding appear, and it must be said that, while light, the colour is a little darker than the typical Madagascar. However, the aroma instantly serves to silence any misgivings due to appearance: it's amazingly fruity and powerful, with strawberries and redcurrants alternating. Hints of the woodiness common to Madagascar emerge, along with interesting spicy, cayenne traces, although slight suggestions of grassy and biscuit seem a little out of place. Nonetheless, the aroma is among the best yet in a Madagascar, which so often turn out a bit light and unassuming.
The flavour is even better, rather reminiscent of Amedei's superb older Madagascar (not their more recent batches), starting with raisin, then moving to the predicted redcurrant and woody. Hints of cream serve to soften the balance and provide contrast. Finish is the best part yet, a lovely chocolatey with a cocoa slant, that continues on for ages, keeping the memory alive of a fine achievement indeed.
Melt, too, is rather felicitously above Dandelion's usual, being smooth and creamy, and providing the appropriate finishing touch to an excellent effort. In many ways Dandelion seems to be following a similar trajectory to Amano in the early days, a company which as we have seen has gone from strong initial promise to world-class maturity. In fact, the Madagascar, it must be said, is even more accomplished than Amano's early efforts, and this bodes well for the future. Is there room for improvement with this chocolate? Perhaps slightly. The roast could be ever that bit lighter, perhaps balanced with a slightly longer conche, but these are very much small tweaks. As is, this chocolate sets something of a benchmark for up-and-coming manufacturers: Dandelion is clearly the company to beat in the third generation of artisan chocolate producers.

West beats East 143-138 in NBA All-Star Game
Clippers' Paul named MVP
West Team's Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers holds the most valuable player trophy after the NBA All-Star basketball game Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013, in Houston. The West beat the East 143-138. (AP Photo/Eric Gay) |
HOUSTON (AP) — Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Kobe Bryant turned this West victory into an L.A. story. Paul had 20 points, 15 assists and won MVP honors, Bryant blocked LeBron James' comeback attempt, and the Western Conference beat the East 143-138 on Sunday night.
Kevin Durant scored 30 points and Griffin finished with 19, joining his Clippers teammate, Paul, in creating Lob City deep in the heart of Texas.
James scored 19 points but shot only 7 of 18 after having no shooting troubles during the latter part of the season's first half. Carmelo Anthony led the East with 26 points and 12 rebounds.
The first dunk of the game came 16 seconds in, Paul throwing a pass to Griffin as part of the West's 7-0 start. The West led after each of the first three quarters, though was never ahead by more than eight points through three periods.
They finally pushed it into double figures early in the fourth fueled by former Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden, but couldn't put it away until a late run behind the guys from the city of Los Angeles — who along with Lakers center Dwight Howard gave Los Angeles all but one of the West's starting spots.
Paul hit two 3-pointers, Bryant made a layup, and his block of James led to Durant's dunk that made it 136-126. Griffin had one last forceful dunk to help close it out, throwing a pass to himself off the backboard and climbing high in his neon green sneakers to slam it home and make it 142-134.
Harden had 15 points in his home arena, where the sights of the game were on the floor and the sounds were at the rim — which shook repeatedly after thunderous dunks for most of the game before, as usual, players tried to make some stops down the stretch.
Players' sneakers were a variety of pastels and fluorescent colors that looked like they came right from Easter Sunday church, many clashing so badly with their multi-colored socks that they may as well have been created by spilling out random paint buckets.
James and Dwyane Wade wore purple, and Griffin's neon look was also sported by the usually-not-so-loud Tim Duncan and Brook Lopez.
But the NBA's high-flyers sure could leap in them.
Durant slammed one down so hard at one point that he stumbled backward after landing, appearing woozy. He came in as the career leader in points per game with 28.3 and may have won a second straight MVP award if not for Paul's big finish.

Budapest Shopping
You'll find plenty of expensive boutiques, folk-art and souvenir shops, foreign-language bookstores, and classical-record shops on or around touristy Váci utca, Budapest's famous, upscale, pedestrian-only promenade.
While a stroll along Váci utca is integral to a Budapest visit, browsing among some of the smaller, less touristy, more typically Hungarian shops in Pest—on the Kis körút (Small Ring Road) and Nagy körút (Great Ring Road)—may prove more interesting and less pricey.
Falk Miksa utca, in the fifth district, running south from Szent István körút, is one of the city's best antiques districts, lined on both sides with atmospheric little shops and galleries.
Hungary is famous for its age-old Herend porcelain, which is hand-painted in the village of Herend near Lake Balaton. Hungarian and Czech crystal is considerably less expensive here than in the United States.
Handmade articles, such as embroidered tablecloths and painted plates, are sold all over the city by Transylvanian women wearing traditional scarves and colorful skirts. You can usually find them standing at Moszkva tér, Jászai Mari tér, outside the Kossuth tér metro, around Váci utca, and in the larger metro stations.
Recordings of Hungarian folk music, or of pieces played by Hungarian artists, are available on compact discs, though cassettes and records are cheaper and are sold throughout the city.

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia. Comprising 17,508 islands, it is the world's largest archipelagic state. The five largest islands are Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan (the Indonesian part of Borneo), New Guinea (shared with Papua New Guinea), and Sulawesi. With a population of 222 million people, it is the world's fourth most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority nation. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president. The nation's capital city is Jakarta. Across its many islands, Indonesia consists of distinct ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. Despite its large population and densely populated regions, Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness that support the world's second highest level of biodiversity. Indonesia's location on the edges of the Pacific, Eurasian, and Australian tectonic plates makes it the site of numerous volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

Sheikh Abdullah Quilliam (1851 - 1932)
Founder of one of the earliest Nineteenth Century Muslim communities in Britain. A prayer room was established in rented premises at 8 Brougham Terrace, West Derby Road in Liverpool in 1889. The community was soon able to purchase No. 8, and also Nos. 9-12 Brougham Terrace. By 1896 the community comprised about 150 Muslims. In 1899 Quilliam published 'The Faith of Islam'. He aso edited a weekly journal 'The Crescent', eventually merged with the monthly journal 'The Islamic World'. In 1894 Sultan Abdul Hamid II conferred him the title of 'Shaikh al-Islam' of Britain.
The work of this early Muslim community is continuing today: in December 1996 the Abdullah Quilliam Society was formed in Liverpool. The society is an affiliate of the MCB.
A brief history taken from the web site '
Abu Saleh
' is presented below:
William Henry Quilliam was the son of a watch manufacturer Robert Quilliam, and a descendant of Captain John Quilliam RN, who was First Lieutenant on HMS Victory with Nelson.
He qualified as a solicitor and established the largest advocacy practice in the North. In 1882 Quilliam visited southern France to recover from overwork and crossed over to Algeria and Morocco. There he learned about Islam and at the age of 31 proclaimed himself to be Muslim.
He returned to Liverpool in 1889 to spread Islam as Sheikh Abdullah Quilliam. Converts included his sons, prominent scientists and professionals. His mother was a Methodist activist until 1893 when at the age of 63 she converted. Local Muslims gave her the title Khadijah (Mother of the Faithful). After accepting Islam, Quilliam was reported to have attended court dressed in full Turkish regalia and as travelling on a white Arab horse!
Quilliam set up a prayer and meeting room with the community in Mount Vernon Street. He managed to publish three editions of The Faith of Islam which was subsequently translated into thirteen languages. Quilliam became famous throughout the Islamic world. The Sultan of Turkey made him Sheikh-Ul-Islam of Britain and his son became British Consul General in Turkey. The Sultan of Morocco made him an Alim and the Shah of Persia also appointed him as Consul. A gift of £2,500 was donated to the community by the Sultan of Afghanistan. This was used to establish the Islamic Institute and Liverpool Mosque in Broughton Terrace, Liverpool.
A hundred Muslims could pray there. The Friday Prayer sermons were both in English and Arabic. In the basement the group set up a printing press and commenced publishing The Crescent weekly and a monthly journal, The Islamic Review which was later distributed to over twenty countries worldwide.
Nearly two thousand illegitimate births occurred annually in Liverpool during this period and many women turned to the Institute for help. To counter this growing problem, Quilliam founded the Medina Home to care for children and to find them foster families. The Institute also started a Muslim College with courses for Muslims and non-Muslims in arts, science and law. Teachers included Professor Haschem Wilde and Professor Nasrullah Warren. A weekly Debating and Literary Society attracted many non-Muslims. They were also invited to the Institute for prayers and sermons on Sunday. There was singing from Quilliam's collection of hymns for English-speaking Muslims. These meetings brought a hundred and fifty non-Muslims to Islam by 1896!
Quilliam continually faced opposition, arguing for everything from the right to make the public call to prayer to British interference in the Sudan. As his success increased - so did the level of harassment. The muezzin of the mosque was often pelted with snowballs, stones and dirt. Firecrackers were thrown at the mosque and glass was ground into the carpets to cut the feet of the worshippers. The Church and elements of the media in particular were quite antagonistic.
On one occasion a group of local Baptists stood up in the middle of one of Abdullah Quilliam's sermons to preach in what they referred to as the 'heathen temple'. The leader of the band said that Quilliam was "...a man sent by the devil to deceive you and lead you into the eternal fire where the worm dieth not" and pointing to the fez caps on the heads of the members of the congregation, stated "and these are the regimentals worn by his soldiers." In a Christian journal, 'The Crusader', Quilliam was described as "this arch -infidel and renegade from the Christian faith" and was pronounced as proof of possession by the devil.
Quilliam had the courage and the audacity to openly criticise the imperialist policies of the Government and denounced the colonisation and suppression of foreign territories:-
"An American explodes a bomb in the crowded streets of Constantinople and slays innocent women and children and , because he calls himself a Christian he is extolled in England as a hero and as a patriot! An Afghan fights for his fatherland in the Khyber Pass, and because he is a Muslim he is denounced as a traitor and a rebel, and his land is to be raided and his wives and children slain. Such is the British Christian logic at the end of the 19th Century in the diamond jubilee year of the reign of the Queen Empress."
The group suffered indignities because the adoption of Islam implied a rejection of Queen and country in the eyes of the wider community - especially at a time when the Empire was at loggerheads with the Ottoman Caliphate. As well as having the ability to write authoritatively on Christianity and Judaism, Quilliam was a remarkable visionary:- "At the present time union is more than ever necessary among Muslims. The Christian powers are proposing a new crusade to shatter the Muslim powers, under the pretext that they desire to civilise the world. This is nothing but hypocrisy, but armed as they are with the resources of Western civilisation it will be impossible to resist them unless Muslims stand united as one solid phalanx."
Within 30 years of this statement, the Khilafah was destroyed. Quilliam left for the East in 1908 and in his absence the Mosque and the Institute declined. The mosque on Brougham Terrace is now the Registry for Births, Deaths and Marriages.
On October 10 1997, Patricia Gordon, the granddaughter of Shaykh Abdullah Quilliam unveiled a plaque in the building to honour the founding of the oldest mosque in Britain and to celebrate the events that happened there. In an emotional address she recalled: 'My greatest memory of him, is being compassionate at all times, a man of great courage and way ahead of his time, and a credit to Islam. He gave me an understanding of human emotions and frailties, in fact a catalogue of everything of everything one would wish to see in us all.'
The following are comments:
What happened to the people those he converted to Islam? What did they do? Are there still English Muslim descendants of those converts and if so, are they still Muslim? I think it would be interesting to look at the Muslim community in that area and the hardships they may have faced in a strong Christian environment.

Captain John Quilliam died never being a farther. We were led to believe. We are from L/pool England could we be related?

I would like to know more about Abdullah Quilliam as my family here in Australia are also descendents to Capt. John Quilliam. I've studied Islam and read the Qur'an, my Brother has married into a Turkish Muslim family and my brother works for me in my printing business. If you let me know where Abdullah fits into the family tree like through with of Capt. John's children and so. I have found his history quite remarkable and his views very similar to mine.

NATO officials were hoping that insurgent activity in Afghanistan would taper off during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, but so far, insurgents appear to be pressing ahead with their summer offensive.
More than a dozen NATO troops and contractors have been killed since the beginning of Ramadan last Friday. In general, insurgents have been busier this summer than last, and more often than not, civilians are paying the price.

The cool weather in London is good news for the Olympic athletes because their bodies won't need to put as much energy into cooling off.
But most of us aren't lucky enough to be headed to London, and we could use some help keeping cool.
When you get hot you sweat — but it's not enough to just sweat. To cool off, you need that sweat to evaporate. It's evaporation that drains the heat from your body.

This fall, the U.S. Navy will contract three Cold War-era aircraft carriers — the USS Forrestal, the USS Saratoga and the USS Constellation — for scrapping. Often called "supercarriers" owing to their massive size, the ships contain nearly 60,000 tons of steel and other metal each.
All three carriers are likely to be sent to the landlocked city of Brownsville, Texas, to be ripped apart.

Tucked in the olive groves and rocky hills of northern Syria, the small village of Qurqanya doesn't seem like much.
Scratch the surface, though, and you realize that this is a hub for the revolution in northern Syria, where a kind of shadow state is forming.
As the Syrian state recedes, the people in this village and villages around it are filling in the blanks with their own institutions and, for better or for worse, their own ideas about how a country should be run.

Its expansion was frighteningly fast. A handful of cases were first recognized in the U.S. at the beginning of the 1980s, but AIDS was soon seen around the world.
By 1990, the world had a pandemic on its hands. In 1997, the peak of the epidemic, more than 3 million people became newly infected with HIV.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, influential conservative and pugilistic dissenter, is challenging everything from a recent leak about Supreme Court deliberations, to conventional wisdom about the court and its history.
In a new book co-authored with Bryan Garner, Scalia spells out his judicial philosophy, and on Tuesday, the always voluble, charming and combative justice sat for a wide-ranging interview — about the book, his relationships on the court, and the recent leak alleging anger among the justices over the recent health care decision.

When Pennsylvania officials begin their defense of the state's new voter identification law in court Wednesday, they will do so after agreeing to abandon a central argument for why such laws are needed.
In a Pennsylvania court filing, the state says it has never investigated claims of in-person voter fraud and so won't argue that such fraud has occurred in the past. As a result, the state says, it has no evidence that the crime has ever been committed.
Why do we like the Olympics?
If somebody hadn't thought to start them up again 116 years ago, would ESPN have invented them to fill in summer programming?
I'm not being cranky. It's just that most of the most popular Olympic sports are the groundhog games. Swimming, gymnastics and track and field come out every four years, see their shadow and go right back underground where nobody pays any attention to them for another four years. Can you even name a gymnast?

Ford Motor Co. intends to prove that good things come in small packages — really small packages. The company has taken engine downsizing to a new level with its new three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which has been introduced in Europe and is set to hit the U.S. market next year.
The EcoBoost offers more power than many conventional four-cylinder engines, with fuel economy numbers a hybrid could envy. Early fans are calling it a modern "little engine that could," and Ford is betting that American customers are ready to embrace a three-cylinder engine.

Apple reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, and depending how you look at it, they're either amazing or disappointing.
The company says it made $8.8 billion in profits over the course of three months. That's more than enough to buy every share of Alcoa, the global aluminum giant, which was worth just under $8.6 billion when the stock market closed this afternoon.

Albany Herald
DirecTV and Viacom failed to reach a new deal on programming fees, resulting in a blackout of many popular cable networks, including MTV, Comedy Central, TV Land, CMT, Spike TV and Nickelodean.
The blackout is the result of the latest dispute between entertainment companies and the distributors, which include the cable, telecom, and satellite-TV providers. There have been an increasing amount of disagreements over how much distributors have to pay to carry the various networks, resulting in public spats such as this.
Viacom confirmed the blackout on its blog earlier today.
"We are deeply disappointed that DirecTV dropped Viacom's channels before our midnight deadline this evening, severing our connection with its nearly 20 million subscribers nationwide," the company said. "We proposed a fair deal that amounted to an increase of only a couple pennies per day, per subscriber, and we remained willing to negotiate that deal right up to this evening's deadline. However, DirecTV refused to engage in meaningful conversation."

I'll miss Tosh.O on Comedy Central more than anything else on there.
ontario1966 1 year, 8 months ago
I got rid of direct tv long ago, due to programming and the over high bills, and constant channel outage? I have been with Dish network for about 4 years now, and they have alot of local channels, and we never have a problem at all! And the customer service is excellent! I have been so satisfied after getting rid of Mediacom and direct tv! And I have saved alot of money.
Engineer 1 year, 8 months ago
Doesn't matter to me, I can watch the same programs for free online, many on their own website or on Hulu.
VSU 1 year, 8 months ago
They spelled Nickelodeon wrong. They say only a couple of pennies a day, but when you add 20 million customers, that is $400,000 dollars a day. They run those stupid commercials on TV saying "Get rid of cable, get Direct TV" Looks like people will get rid of Direct TV and go to Dish Network or whatever whenever they get off their signed contract.
This is why I don't subscribe to satellite. You sign this contract, then you can't get out of it and you don't know what you get in the end. If it wasn't for live sporting events like football, baseball etc, I wouldn't need any of them. I like the old sitcoms and could either watch the DVD's or watch them online.
Shinedownfan 1 year, 8 months ago
I'd rather lose all these channels than lose AMC like Dish did. I'd really miss The Walking Dead, Hell on Wheels, & CSI Miami (since I dont have local channels, never seen them before). But I agree with Engineer, these satellite and cable companies are gonna screw up and people are gonna drop them all and get Hulu and Netflix accounts and watch whatever they want, whenever they want like my brother does now.
LuLu 1 year, 8 months ago
I woke up this morning and checked, and sure enough, it's true. I didn't have time to study it too much, but alot of channels are gone and they added several 4-digit channels with nothing on them to my menu. They better get this fixed fast or there will be an exodus to Dish.
KaosinAlbany 1 year, 8 months ago
Going to switch back to Mediacom after two years of DirectTV's crappy television stations. I miss PBS and the local channels.

The Arizona State Fair comes and goes after a few weeks in the fall, but there's no need to miss out on the fried food and funnel cakes year-round.
A Mesa restaurant is serving up things like deep fried gator and turkey legs all year long.
Carnival fans Craig and Janine Sawyers have been wanting to open up a restaurant like this for a few years now.
"To bring the same experience under one roof," says Craig Sawyers. "We love everybody here in Mesa, come on over and support us!"
FOX 10's Kelly Hessedal visited Piggly's at the Fair, and sampled the fare. Press play to see what she thought.

Compiled by Mayo Clinic experts in obstetrics, it offers a clear, thorough and reliable reference for this exciting and sometimes unpredictable journey. This comprehensivebook includes:
About the AuthorMayo Clinic took root in farm fields near Rochester, Minn., in the late 1800s. It grew from the medical practice of a country doctor, William Worrall Mayo, and the partnership of his two sons, William J. and Charles H. Mayo - affectionately known as Dr. Will and Dr. Charlie.
The brothers' innovative ideas and tireless work in learning and creating new surgical techniques attracted international attention. Physicians from around the world came to watch the Mayo brothers perform surgery. The Mayo brothers invited other doctors to join them, forming teams of medical experts. Today, Mayo Clinic - one of the worlds oldest and largest multispecialty group practices - comprises more than 45,000 physicians, scientists, nurses and other staff at its three locations in Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla., and Scottsdale, Ariz., and its regional community-based health care practices.

Colorado Custom Wheel Upgrade - Hot Bike Magazine
**01. **For the Deuce we ordered a 21x3.25 up front and an 18x5.5 in the rear. As with all the different wheel models Colorado Custom offers, matching rotors ($275 each) and pulley ($450) are also available and were installed for a more uniform look. To get the wheels rolling down the road, a set of Avon's Cobra tires were used for this project, a 120/70-21 up front, and a 180/55-18 in the rear. The Cobras are geared for the cruiser/touring market and incorporate a sport tire technology for nimble handling. They're constructed to handle heavier loads and are also available in larger sizes to fit the big wheels that today's customizers are looking for.
**02. **To get the project rolling, the Deuce was placed on the lift in order to remove the stock wheels.
**03. **Starting with the rear, Marc removed the axle and brake caliper.
**04. ** The drivebelt was then slipped off from the pulley and the rear wheel was ready to come out.
**05. **Using a scissor lift under the frame, Marc jacked up the bike to slide the rear wheel out. Out with the old…
**06. ** …in with the new. The Colorado wheel slid into place without a hitch.
**07. **Marc reattached the caliper and placed the new wheel spacers in between the swingarm and the wheels.
**08. **After sliding the drivebelt over the new pulley, Marc lubed up the axle with anti-seize and replaced it. Once that was done, he adjusted the axle so that the wheel lined up accurately. To finish up the rear, Marc re-installed the belt guard and the rear wheel installation was complete.
**09. **Up front, Marc made quick haste to remove the stock front spoke wheel. A couple of turns on the caliper bolts and the caliper was removed from the left side.
**10. ** The front axle was then removed and the front wheel came off.
**11. **The new Colorado wheel was then installed with a matching rotor and new spacers to really seal the custom deal.
**12. ** The new wheel fit perfectly. The axle was again lubed with anti-seize and was replaced and tightened down.
**13. **The caliper was then bolted in on to mate with the new rotor and the installation was complete. In just about an hour, the Deuce was transformed into a proper Harley thanks to Colorado Custom's Colorado wheels.
In the never-ending quest for the right motorcycle wheels for your ride, there are a wide variety of custom billet wheel manufacturers out there to choose from. Colorado Custom in Anaheim, California, has a massive collection of forged billet aluminum one-piece and multi-piece wheels for all Harley models and custom applications ranging in size from 16 to 30 inches. Of course matching rotors, sprockets, and pulleys are all available to round out the installation package and wheels are available in chrome, or black and chrome.
Colorado Custom opened its doors in 1994 in Fort Collins, Colorado. The company manufactured custom billet wheels for the automotive and motorcycle industries, but years later, would pack up and move to Anaheim to manufacture its wheels. However, the company went up for sale in 2008 and Marc Susman took over the brand. Now, Colorado Custom Wheels is quickly becoming an industry leader in design and innovation manufacturing aftermarket motorcycle and automobile wheels, as well as automobile steering wheels that all customizers can appreciate.
We contacted Colorado Custom for a set of its new Colorado line of wheels (front $1,195, rear $1,195) for an '06 Softail Deuce that was begging to be spruced up. Since the company is in our backyard, we headed over there and Marc gave us a tour of the facility and installed the new Colorados on the Deuce for us. HB

Another variation to the two envelopes puzzleTwo players, A and B, are going to play a game. A perfect logician explains the terms: #2 2013-01-21 18:44:03
Re: Another variation to the two envelopes puzzleSwapping maximizes expected gain for player A and minimizes it for B. #3 2013-02-03 21:41:39
Re: Another variation to the two envelopes puzzleFor any amount M that A receives, there's 50%-50% probability that B gets either 2M or M/2, so on average A would gain from swapping and by symmetry B would lose. But what if we apply the same logic starting from B? How does the reference to B's amount ($100) change our reasoning? #4 2013-02-03 22:22:48
Re: Another variation to the two envelopes puzzleWell, B could either lose 25 or gain 50 by swapping, so it would be good for him to swap, too. The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't. It's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about! ― Richard Feynman Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most. ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment #5 2013-02-03 22:37:00
Re: Another variation to the two envelopes puzzleThe correct answer is the one that muxdemux submitted but I am not sure about the reasoning for B. Why wouldn't he want to swap? #6 2013-02-13 19:34:31
Re: Another variation to the two envelopes puzzleI think swapping provides mutual benefits to both the users. Hypothetically superposition can also be reached under special conditions. Totoring Services Last edited by mnuelreyes (2013-03-01 01:53:11) |
