Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
Big value, big fun!
by Wayne from San Francisco, CA on 10/04/2007.
Trim: 2002 Jeep Wrangler X, Owned less than 1 year.
I mean, it's a Jeep - what more can you say? Already that's a pro. Very reliable, great value, cheap after market accessories, comfortable seats, rugged fabric, descent fuel economy for a V6, great 4wd, and nothing beats throwing the top down and taking off the doors and driving along the California coast highway-
a great car for the city - small, rugged, and intimidating! haha
Get's a bit bumpy and noisy on the highway / long trips - have driving it to Oregon and LA twice - no problems - just loud! But once again - you know that going into it.
Overall review:
Great car - my dream car actually - being a recent college grad and starting out in the 9-5 world, it is the best release from the corporate environment - enough storage space to haul furniture with the back seat out - no complaints here!

I love my Jeep!
I have had problems with sensors, in the gas tank as well as two other ones. The sensors should be replaced at one time, to avoid being stranded and multiple trips to the dealer. However Chrysler dictates repair policies. If you need alot of room you will need to purchase additional storage racks.

the king of terrain
by burnout930 from long island ny on 02/13/2004.
Trim: 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sport, Owned 2 years.
have a 2002 jeep wrangler sport and it is the king of the fuckin road and especially off road. when driving through the woods, on a beach or even in a urban jungle i never experience problems. when hoping medians and curbs, climbing boulders and logs, fording rivers or climing sand dunes, i feel as if im driving on dry pavement. I feel it has the best traction of any suv that isnt a hummer h1. I even had to tow a 4x4 trailblazer out of sand and a ford bronco out of snow. I think that for the money, u get one amazing off road machine.
it doesnt have enough room for my family and small trunk space.
Overall review:
one word.....Amazing

It's Good to be the King
by That guy with the Jeep from Long Island, NY on 05/22/2003.
Trim: 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, Owned 2 years.
Style, Versatility, Easy DIY maintenence, Paved roads are merely a suggestion
Thirsty, More style than function, May quickly outgrow it, If you crash it, don't get hit on the side.
Overall review:
I knew going in that this was not the most practical of choices, but I've wanted one my whole life. I paid more than I should have, a Grand Cherokee Laredo was less $, and came with more features. I couldn't be happier with my choice. It's loads of fun in the summer, and it beat this lousy NY winter into submission. The soft top is easy to operate, but it would help to have garage space for the hard top. The gas milage is horrible. Chrysler estimates 16/19, I average 13/15. I've had 2 recalls that were prompltly taken care of, no problem. It is comfotable on long trips, it's roomier than it looks. Very loud on the highway, but its a 2-ton box. Stowing anything bigger than 2 suitcases requires removing the back seat (which takes 2 minutes). Minor gripes aside, this truck will feel like a part of you. I probably wouldn't buy another one, but I'll never get rid of this one.

Seattle-area clergy demand action on guns
Seattle-area clergy from many faiths are presenting a united front against gun violence, demanding specific measures from elected leaders. Representing churches and synagogues, seminaries, mosques and Sikh temples, the religious leaders say it's time to move beyond simply mourning the slaughter of 26 people in Newtown Connecticut. They say now it's time for action.
Evoking a string of mass killings, including one in Seattle last spring, the clergy made the case for changing laws and changing attitudes. Imam Abdullah Polovina is with the Islamic Center of Shoreline.
"Islamic holy book states God will not change your conditions until you change yourselves. Let's don't do God's part. Do our part," Polovina said.
Reverend Leslie Braxton of New Beginnings Christian Fellowship said unrestricted access to guns no longer makes sense.
"To say things like 'guns don't kill' is like saying bats don't hit homeruns. But no one's ever seen a baseball player hit a homerun without a bat. It does matter," Braxton said.
About two dozen clergy appeared together at Temple de Hirsch Sinai in Seattle's Capital Hill neighborhood, and presented a statement calling for specific gun control measures, including universal background checks and a ban on assault-style weapons. They say they'll be collecting signatures from clergy all over Washington and will present the statement to public officials.

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Mary Lou Shaw
Tags: organic gardening, companion planting, beauty in garden, crop diversity, beneficial insects, , Mary Lou Shaw
I am serious about our vegetable garden, and I'll be first to brag that we can grow most of what we eat. But I'm not so serious that I don't give enjoyment high priority. And for me, part of that enjoyment is having the garden a beautiful place to spend time.
What better way to make the garden beautiful and entice people to care for it than to have it contain a variety of flowers? I do find healthy vegetable plants and their produce beautiful. But even bright red tomatoes can't entice me in like a row of multi-color zinnias at the garden's entrance, red poppies to the side and cosmos beckoning from a back row. I love having flowers in the vegetable garden!
I do understand that some people would not approve of planting flowers in a space designated for food crops. But for those of you who are yearning to incorporate more beauty in your gardens, I have a whole list of great rationalizations. Feel free to use whatever "logic" might work best on your spouse or friends!
First of all, we want to have "beneficials" attracted to our gardens. These include bugs, pollinators and birds. There's no better way to welcome them than having plenty of pollen and nectar available.
These creatures help our gardens in multiple ways. The first thing that comes to mind is that we need the bees, small flies and butterflies to pollinate our crops. We might as well beckon them in with bright color flowers of different heights growing throughout the garden.
Another reason these species are called "beneficials," is that they do more good than harm. A ground beetle, "big-eyed bug" or an "assassin bug" may look ugly to our human eyes, but they're good at keeping the bad bugs at bay. Birds also help keep down the number of crop-eating insects.
Flowers don't need to cost much at all. Purple cone flowers (Echinacea) and bee-balm (bergamot) are the perennials that stand as sentinels at the end of our garden rows. Most have come as divisions of the first plants which I began from seeds. Poppies and chamomile reseed themselves each year. Other annuals like zinnias and marigolds come from inexpensive seed packages or seeds that I save.
I find that adding flowers to the garden does add a bit of lovely chaos. The cosmos begins to droop over the cabbage while the zinnias begin to sprawl across the path to the tomatoes. However, this too can add strength to our argument! The beneficials in general prefer some shade and ground cover. Don't cringe when I say that the good guys include insects, snakes, toads, spiders and birds. Over-all, it's the bad-guys, or crop-eating insects, that prefer clear ground and only full sun.
Here's another good argument: Many insects that eat our crops like to take short flights from one plant to the next until they've pretty much sampled everything. We can confine them by growing an occasional higher row of crops between the short plants.
With the excuse of creating barriers, I plant a "Bee Feed Mix" or "Butterfly and Hummingbird Mix" (Johnny's Select Seeds) between rows of cabbages and broccoli. I also have "Lemon Queen Sunflower" seeds from Sustainable Seed Company because they are noted for attracting bees and making great flower arrangements. These not only make a formidable barrier, but they shade plants like cabbage that would rather not have the afternoon's full sun.
"Companion planting" includes putting flowers like marigolds around other plants like tomatoes. They keep insects from harming our crops.
Flowers are also an asset in giving more variety to our gardens. Variety mimics nature and adds resiliency to an environment. Obviously, nature doesn't plant "mono-crops" and even adds variety with many unwanted weeds. However, the benefit of variety extends into the soil and even improves the food we grow.
Most vitamins and minerals that result in nutritious food are drawn into the plants by their roots. The mediators in this exchange are all the "micro-organisms" that are found in healthy soil. We are aware of the earthworms (of which there are more than 15 types in Ohio alone!), but there are also bacteria, fungi, nematodes, protozoa and mites. These organisms get what they need from the plants' roots in exchange for giving our plants what they need.
Each type of plant has a unique exchange with these micro-organisms. The more varieties of plants we have, the more diverse and "healthful" our soil is. You can see where this logic is leading. The more varied our crops, the healthier our soil. The healthier our soil, the more "nutrient-dense" our food becomes. Nutrient-dense food gives a body what it needs. Nutritious food is also the most highly-flavored food you will ever eat.
My conclusion is that if a garden has a little extra space, it's better to fill that space with flowers than to weed bare ground. It's not too far of a stretch to say I plant flowers so our vegetables are more nutritious and more delicious.
Perhaps we don't need to rationalize planting flowers at all. The garden is beautiful. I enjoy spending time with all the creatures that are drawn to the flowers. The house is filled with bouquets. Having beauty in our lives seems like a worthy goal in itself.

Gun Sales Booming
Jamestown, CA -- Word of a possible gun ban has people flocking to buy guns across the country and right here in the Mother Lode according to one store owner.
Connie Youngman owner of B Bar Y Traders says the possible bans have people running to her store. She says they're buying, "Hand guns and self defense items like shotguns and California Assault Rifles. Those semi-automatic rifles you can only have ten round magazines in them and it has to have what's called a bullet button in them, so they are a California legal gun. People use them for rodent hunting."
Youngman actually says she wishes business would slow down as she is working long hours making sure all of the paper work for the gun sales are filled out correctly for the state.

SSD prices continue to plunge
Cost-per-gigabyte is down more 66% for some models in three years.
Computerworld - Since 2010, solid state drive (SSD) prices for some models have plummeted from $3 to less than $1 per gigabyte.
After dropping 20% in the second quarter of 2012 alone, SSD prices fell another 10% in the second half of the year, according to data from IHS iSupply.
The better deals for SSDs are now around 80- to 90-cents-per-gigabyte of capacity, though some sale prices have been even lower, according to Ryan Chien, an IHS SSD and storage analyst.
Oversupply of NAND flash memory is primarily behind the price drops over the past couple of years, but manufacturing is now more in line with demand and prices have begun to stabilize, Chien said.
Last year, SSD prices dropped 23%, according to commerce tracking site Dynamite Data.
Dynamite Data said it has monitored the price, rebate and stock status of more than 600 individual SSDs at hundreds of e-commerce merchants over the past three years. In August, it noted in a blog post that SSDs had finally broken the "magic" $1-per-gigabyte price point, proclaiming it "the new normal."
The average commodity SSD price was $3 per gigabyte in 2010, when capacities were rarely above 128GB.
"We first saw low-budget SSDs hit the $1 mark in April, with heavy mail-in-rebates," Kristopher Kubicki, chief architect at Dynamite Data, wrote in the blog post. "However, the industry has been very consistent and extremely fast in its direction. The bigger and newer players pushed the bottom quartile [price] from $1.5/GB to $1/GB in just four months!
"We're currently experiencing the fastest decline in SSD prices in three years," he added. "If history has anything to say, we will now see prices per drive stabilize and the size of the drives substantially grow over the next few years."
Storage and memory tracking site DRAMeXchange reported similar SSD price drops. As of November, it said SSD prices were down 24% from the beginning of 2012. At the same time, hard disk drive prices have remained "inflated" -- about 47% higher than they were prior to the 2011 Thai floods.
"Despite hard drive prices remaining high -- coupled with the continual decline of SSD prices -- the per-GB price of the largest capacity SSDs (300-600GB) are currently nine times more expensive than 500GB notebook hard disk drives," said DRAMeXchange analyst Jessica Chang.
SSDs today are far more reliable, have greater endurance and perform better (in some cases, two to three times better) than in 2009.
There are also new SSD categories. For example, hybrid drives combine NAND flash cache memory with a spinning disk in a hard-drive form factor. In addition, in adherence to Intel's new ultrabook computer specifications (PDF), manufacturers are beginning to produce laptops with two drive slots, one for a hard drive and the other for a low-capacity cache SSD that works with hard drives to speed up boot and application load times.
Even with the dramatic price drops, SSDs as aftermarket PC upgrades are still seen as niche purchases. "Though HDDs and DRAM are not sexy, they do far more aftermarket business than SSDs," IHS' Chien said.
When it comes to companies making and shipping consumer-grade SSDs through channel partners, Intel and Samsung continue to lead the market in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively. They are followed by OCZ, Micron (Crucial) and Kingston, according to Chien.
As for those shipping SSDs to system manufacturers of PCs, laptops and arrays, the top players are Samsung, Toshiba, Intel, Micron, and Sandisk. Shipments to equipment manufacturers will remain the dominant market for SSDs, Chien said.
"Samsung hadn't really been a big aftermarket SSD player until its 830 SSD came out; a combination of aggressive pricing and improved drive performance has catapulted it near the top fairly quickly," Chien said. "Intel drives are dependable, but not as fast; OCZ products have always struggled with reliability and the recent shakeups have not helped."

I enjoyed my journey at Studio Nanà, the perfect place when you're alone or a couple visiting Roma few days.
Claudia and Rosana are really nice and heplful.
For sure I won't hesitate to take one of Claudia's flat for my next travel to Roma.
The Nana Studio was very nice, although small. The location is good, 10 minutes away from the center and the bus easy to use. We didn't meet Claudia but her colleague greeted us very nicely, explaning every detail. They were very accomodating since we reserved only the day before. The appartment is very small but had the kitchen, AC, a balcony and a nice bathroom. The bed IS comfortable! Everything was clean and we were very happy with our experience! Thank you.
The only thing is good in this apartment - you can get to the centre by one bus and it takes about 15 minutes. The apartment is not so new as on the photo. You spend only nights there and It is sadly because it is impossible to sleep on this bed. Mattress is really terrible. Claudia, you should change mattress without delay!!! Besides shower splashing in different sides. Fan is too loud in bathroom, very irritating. What are we payed money for??? The price for it must be lower. Have a sense that hosts does not really care what happens in there flat.
The studio is great for 2 people, ince bed, equipped kitchen and a beautiful balcony. Just 20 mins away from centre by bus us it says on the announcement. It is near a useful commercial area.
We did not meet claudia, but for our check in a very helpful girl called Roxana wait for us, she did speak spanish and she gave us few instructions to find markets and public transports that were great.
Très agréable studio, très propre, bien équipé et bien situé dans un quartier calme bien désservi par le bus. Il faut environ 20 minutes pour rejoindre la Piazza di Venezia. Balcon bien agréable pour le petit déjeuner.
Il faut avoir à l'esprit que pour ce genre de logement, on part le matin pour revenir le soir, à prévoir pour les déplacements.
Nous recommandons donc cet endroit sans problème.
The location was great, so near the city center, the bus stop was near the building, and for 5 min you are at Piazza Venezia. The room was small, but if you are the whole day in the town, that' s not a problem. We also had a kitchen. Only one suggestion for Claudia - change a bad, pls...
Everything was perfect! Claudia was nice and helpful.
The studio is clean and full equiped. In a quiet area.
Near to many super market, pizzeria and commercial street.
Near bus stop or around 20 min. walk to Trastevere station and tramway stop.
Hope to stay there again soon. Thanks for everything.
Claudia was very kind and helpful with everything. She even helped us plan our trip and showed us the best places to know Rome in deep. The studio is beautiful, clean and equipped with everything you need. The kitchen had fresh clean water, olive oil, coffee and tea. We will surely recommend this place and, if we have the opportunity, visit it ourselves again!

Of violets and not exactly blues
After days of patience testing…
I can now finally bring my car to school. I've been wanting for this to happen for a long time already. #sohappy
My LTO expereince wasn't bad at all because it was just an hour or two of waiting for two days (three days for my dad). It can be done in a day or two but dad and I have other things to do for the day so we just leave it and just come back for it the next day since LTO's just near my house.
Lots of funny things happen to me but I can't share it with you all tho (too bad). So here is my license! My picture is too crappy thus the blurring .
26 4 / 2011
The books I've read this summer (so far)
City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay, Hush Hush, Crescendo
Oh, the pleasures of free pdf!
I'm currently reading Switched and it's kinda good! :)

Hotel Prince Albert Louvre
Travel Blogs from Paris
Hot June day in Paris
Today we plan to cram in quite a bit as this is our last full day in Paris. The forecast is for 28C and sunny.
We started our sightseeing with the Louvre. I'm keen to look at works by well known painters such as Degas, Cezanne, Monet, etc. So we looked all through the French section and found none of them. Not to say we didn't see a lot of …
First full day in Paris
Today Juanita and I have a whole day in Paris but Sharon and Phil have to head off by about 12:00 to get to Calais on time for their ferry back to Dover.
After breakfast, we head up some back streets, basically parallel with the Champs Elysees and just look at shops. We come out about a block short of L'Arc de Triomphe and this …
Into Paris
Today we journey from Val-Suzon (Dijon) to Paris. Also, for the first time, we have warm weather and we're in our shorts and t-shirts.
The country side is picturesque for the first part of the trip. The French seem to devote evey square inch of land to crops, with wheat, barley and mustard sown down to the edge of the road. We …
Bonjour mes amies!!
... you 9months to see everything!!! Crazy. From there we wandered down through the gardens and onto the Champs Elysee. Now we split up here. The four guys and I (I know crazy) walked up the Champs Elysee, whilst the other 3girls caught a taxi thingy kinda like a tuk tuk. and we met at the L'Arc de Triomphe. From there we then made our way to the Eiffel tower for 7pm
where our dinner was waiting. Very sore legs. I neglect to mention how ridiculously hot ...

Since then we have risen to the top of the Eiffel Tower, visited the Louvre but will have to return, seen the Arc de Triumphe and saw Paris from the top, visited Napoleon's tomb, had a boat trip on the Seine, rode the red bus for two days which was part of our Paris Pass, which I would highly recommend if you are coming to Paris. It means you get ...

Gran Turismo Ready for EU Launch
GTHD Concept available to download on March 23.
Gran Turismo HD Concept has got its engines all revved up and ready to go for the PS3's European launch and will be available for download from the PlayStation Network for free.
Concept is just a taster of Gran Turismo 5, which is due on PS3 some time in 2008. Players start with just one car that they can race around the Eiger Nordwand track in the Swiss Alps - you could perhaps have a bar of Toblerone while racing to make the experience more realistic.
Once the track is completed within a particular time, it's possible to unlock new cars by beating progressively tougher time challenges. There are nine cars in total to race, including a Ferrari 599, which is the first time a Ferrari has appeared in a Gran Turismo title. Another first for the series is an online ranking system that keeps a record of the best racers.

As it stand now, Jenni Farley isn't scheduled to actually fight. The reality star will be paid $15,000 to "mix it up" with Jersey Shore-like wrestlers Robbie E. and Cookie, who made their debut last week – see video below. This is a one-time deal for now but both sides are reportedly negotiating a "return" engagement.
JWoww is definitely a scrapper by nature. Watch the Cookie and Robbie E. getting it on and JWoww punching "The Situation" and Sammi in the videos below:

16 candidates for a variety of offices will appear on the May 21, 2013 general municipal ballot, Los Angeles City Clerk June Lagmay announced today. That's in addition to the six vying in the special primary election for the city's 6th City Council District, which has been open since earlier this year when Tony Cardenas went off to Congress.
Because this is election is a run-off, not all offices are up for grabs anymore. A number of candidates won seats outright during the primary election on March 5. Those include seats 2 and 4 for both the LAUSD and Community College boards and Council Districts 3, 5, 7, and 15.
A random alphabet drawing determined the order in which candidates are listed in each race.
Lobbyists, by definition, work to sway, influence, and/or inform lawmakers. As a result, gifts by lobbyists are often viewed as suspect. There seems to be nothing particularly odd about this. If your job is to influence a certain group of individuals, then part of the cost of doing business is often to get those individuals a present now and again. It is also not odd that those on the receiving end would feel thankful, and possibly indebted.
While not odd, this arrangement breeds numerous problems. Legislators, unlike private individuals, are public servants, and, by definition, should make decisions in the best interests of all of their constituents, as opposed to those who can give them gifts.
At the very least, legislators will be more attuned to the needs and desires of those represented by lobbyists. Again, there is nothing particularly earth shattering about this. All of us are more heavily influenced by those around us than by those with whom we rarely have contact. But what happens when that influence comes in the form of gifts?
Mayoral candidates Eric Garcetti and Wendy Greuel are now in the final stretch of their campaign to become the next mayor of Los Angeles. Following the March 5 election, both candidates will seek to motivate voters to go to the polls. But what voters? According to preliminary numbers, only 16 percent, yes that's right, only one out of six voters went to the polls or mailed in ballots. In a city divided over so many issues, it seems elections have managed to unite 84 percent of eligible Angelenos in laziness, boredom, apathy, or all of the above.
Candidate-controlled ballot measure committees arguably represent a legal gray area. They live somewhere in between candidate campaigns and ballot measure campaigns. The Supreme Court has said that contributions to candidates can lead, or at least appear to lead, to corruption and can therefore be limited. The Court has also said that contributions to ballot measure committees cannot lead, or cannot appear to lead, to corruption because there is simply no one to corrupt. But what about those committees which are controlled by candidates?
About 90,000 ballots from Tuesday's primary election remained uncounted today, casting a hint of uncertainty over City Council races in which two candidates narrowly earned enough votes to win seats outright, while another barely missed the cut and appeared bound for a runoff.
The only definitive results from the voting were the re-elections of 5th District Councilman Paul Koretz and 15th District Councilman Joe Buscaino. Outgoing 11th District Councilman Bill Rosendahl's chief deputy, Mike Bonin, also easily defeated three other candidates to replace his boss, who announced last year he was suffering from cancer and would not seek a third term.
Two council races will be decided in a May 21 runoff:
The city's police, fire, and other departments are all in danger of being subjected to hefty budget cuts in response to voters' rejection of a proposed half-cent sales tax, the president of the City Council said today.
Councilman Herb Wesson said that without the tax, things are "going to get ugly" for the police and other city departments.
"There will be some very hard choices," he said. "Every department will be on the table. Nothing is sacred."

Canada to create visa to attract start-up entrepreneurs
OTTAWA, Sept 11 (Reuters) – Canada plans to create a new
class of visa that it hopes will attract high-tech and other
entrepreneurs to immigrate to the country to start new
companies, officials said on Tuesday.
It has put a moratorium on issuing its existing entrepreneur
visa, which only required an immigrant to hire one person for
one year, and intends to initiate a visa that would be issued to
people identified by venture capital funds as candidates to
create start-up firms in Canada. The venture funds would be
required to invest in the start-ups.
Canada closes embassy in Iran, to expel Iranian diplomats
OTTAWA, Sept 7 (Reuters) – Canada has closed its embassy in
Iran and will expel all Iranian diplomats in Canada within five
days, Foreign Minister John Baird said on Friday, denouncing
Tehran as the biggest threat to global security.
"Diplomatic relations between Canada and Iran have been
suspended," Baird said.
Canada adds 34,000 jobs in August, outpacing July losses
OTTAWA, Sept 7 (Reuters) – The Canadian economy added 34,300
jobs in August, recouping all 30,400 positions lost in July as
it returned to the recent trend of slow net increases in
employment, Statistics Canada data on Friday showed.
The gains topped expectations by analysts surveyed by
Reuters. They predicted, on average, a gain of 10,000 jobs, and
the highest prediction was for 25,000.
Statistics Canada mulls changes to data release system
OTTAWA, July 19 (Reuters) – Statistics Canada on Thursday
said it was seeking comments about possible changes to the way
it releases government data, an idea it floated in April but
abandoned after a media outcry.
The federal agency said it had begun consulting news
organizations on whether to delay the release of data from its
media lockup room to 08:30:04 from 08:30:00, so that the
material could appear simultaneously on its website.
Air Canada taps Canadian government aide for liaison job
OTTAWA, July 19 (Reuters) – Air Canada has hired
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's deputy chief of staff, Derek
Vanstone, to oversee the airline's government relations and
strategy at a time when it needs Ottawa's help to deal with a
gaping pension fund deficit.
The country's largest airline said in a statement on
Thursday that Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner Mary
Dawson had approved Vanstone's new role. His job description was
broad enough that Air Canada appeared to think he would be able
to function within the curbs faced by former government
officials joining other sectors.
Central bankers eyeing whether Libor needs scrapping
OTTAWA (Reuters) – Central bankers and regulators will hold talks in September on whether the troubled global Libor interest rate can be reformed or whether it is so damaged that the benchmark of borrowing costs should be scrapped.
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King told fellow central bankers in a letter that it was "very clear that radical reforms of the Libor system are needed".
Bank of Canada warns of household debt despite measures
OTTAWA, July 18 (Reuters) – Canadian households will see
their debt burden worsen further in coming months even after the
government stepped in to tighten mortgage rules, the Bank of
Canada said on Wednesday, pointing to signs of "overbuilding" in
the housing market.
The warning came as the central bank downgraded all its
quarterly economic growth forecasts until the second quarter of
2013 to reflect weaker-than-expected domestic demand. On
Tuesday, the bank held its benchmark interest rate at 1 percent
but signaled it may need to raise rates.
Bank of Canada sticks to rate hike talk, cuts outlook
OTTAWA, July 17 (Reuters) – The Bank of Canada left interest
rates unchanged on Tuesday, but made clear it was still weighing
an eventual move higher, even as other central banks ease
monetary policy to cope with damaging economic slowdowns.
The bank repeated mildly hawkish interest rate language it
used in June, surprising many economists who thought it would
dilute or possibly even eliminate talk of possible higher rates
because of slower growth and worse global prospects.
Exclusive: Canada reviews CDOR setting after Libor woes
OTTAWA (Reuters) – The Canadian financial regulatory body IIROC is reviewing the way the Canadian equivalent of the Libor benchmark lending rate is set in light of revelations of a global rigging scheme in setting Libor, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
The subject of the review is CDOR, the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate. CDOR is determined daily by a survey of bid-side rates provided by the main market makers, including the major Canadian banks. The survey is posted by Reuters.

Matt Bradley cuts into Bruins lead | 12.18.10 at 8:37 pm ET |
The Bruins slowed down a bit in the second period, while Matt Bradley potted his third goal of the season. After two, the Bruins lead the Capitals, 3-1.
Tyler Seguin had perhaps the best scoring opportunity for the Bruins when he waited too long on a breakaway and had no room to stove it in glove-side on Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth.
After being outshot, 9-5, in the first period, the Capitals had the shots-on-goal advantage in the second, 10-8. Through two, the B's have 19 shots the Washingon's 15.

Only One Airline Gives Free Rum Punch on Flights to the Cayman Islands
These days, the general consensus is that airlines nickel and dime you every chance they get along the way. This is true of most of the mainstream North American carriers, but as we discovered with Southwest's ever-running happy hours and free drink days, there are still airlines out there that give you bang for your buck. Or better yet, let you have some fun on their tab.
Cayman Airways' flights allow economy class passengers to check two bags for free, and they also feature a meal and complimentary Tortuga rum punch. Yes, free unlimited alcoholic drinks in a non-transatlantic international economy class. It's not heavily advertised, but if you look closely at the list of complimentary beverages, you'll surely find it.

Free Drinks on Southwest Flights? Yes, But Only on These Dates for 2014
We thought this was pretty widely known, but recent conversations have revealed that it is apparently not common knowledge that Southwest Airlines offers a free first cocktail on a handful of days throughout the year.
Here is the complete list, starting with the next to occur, just FYI:
� St Patty�s Day (3/17)
� Mother�s Day (5/11)
� Memorial Day (5/26)
� Father�s Day (6/15)
� SWA Birthday (6/18)
� Independence Day (7/4)

Frontier Checks Your Carry-On and Other Things to Know Before Booking
It was the first time we�d ever experienced an airline go that far to enforce the size limitations of a carry-on, and to be honest, it left us with a bag of mixed feelings.
If Southwest is America�s budget airline, then Frontier is our low-budget airline, offering some of the best and most competitive fares out there to its destinations (we just got a $90 one-way from Denver to Wilmington/Philadelphia, for example, and remember our $49 trip into Trenton?). Like most airlines, Frontier charges for checked luggage, and even carry-ons in some cases (which can be avoided, see below), but the biggest surprise was its determination to police the size of the bags passengers are carrying on.

American, Korean Air, and Southwest Bring Us All Kinds of New Routes News
Sometimes it�s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we�ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· American Airlines:
It looks like the new American Airlines is on the move again, as the carrier already has their eyes on the summer weather and some new flights. It sounds like they�re more than ready to move forward with new nonstop flights between Dallas-Ft. Worth and Shanghai, as the planes and people are set to hit the skies for the first time on June 11.
Daily flights will be an option aboard some Boeing 777-200s, and flights were opened up for your booking pleasure earlier in the week. In case you�re looking to call ahead to arrange a taxi�your flight will leave Dallas at just before 11am and will arrive at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport the following day at just before 3pm, all times local.
· Copa Airlines:
For those looking to head to Central America there�s a strong possibility that Copa Airlines will be flying toward your desired destination. It sounds like they�re ready to add more options to their route network, and they have their eyes on Florida. The plan is to do the nonstop thing between Fort Lauderdale and their hub down in Panama City.
The new flights should head into the clouds beginning on July 11, as Boeing 737-700s will do the flying between the two countries. This is destination number four for the airline in the Sunshine State, and overall they�re now flying to eleven destinations in the states.

Beer Drinking Onboard Southwest Airlines About to Get Better
Southwest will join Frontier and Alaska Airlines in offering craft beer aboard its flights when it begins serving New Belgium's Fat Tire this weekend. The price will be a reasonable $5, on par if not cheaper than what you'd pay in a bar on the ground (outside of the airport, of course).
This is obviously good news for beer drinkers, but it also speaks on a larger level about the growing supply capabilities of craft brewers. New Belgium is the third largest craft brewer in the States, and will have its hands full stocking the shelves of all 683 Southwest and AirTran planes. As it turns out, it's also another benefit of the craft beer canning movement. Because glass bottles are prohibited in-flight, a beer has to come in a can to be served at 30,000 ft.

Set to Start in July, Southwest Airlines Announces International Routes to the Caribbean
It seems like Southwest has been thinking about this for years and years, and that was especially the case when it decided to gobble up operations over at AirTran. Now things are a reality, as Southwest Airlines is planning to cross the border for the very first time.
This summer will be when the flights first take to the skies, as the initial international flights are scheduled to begin on July 1. Do not expect long haul journeys across continents and oceans, but if you�re looking for the warm waters of the Caribbean, Southwest will have you more than covered.

'Can I Take Ski Boots as My Carry-on Luggage?'
With each new season comes new questions about what passengers can and cannot take onboard a plane. Thus, we'll be addressing some of the most popular requests with a series called, "Got Baggage."
If you spend most of summer hoping for winter so you can hop on a plane to carve up some powder, pay attention. There's a lot of gear to ensure your trip won't start in tears when you've forgotten something for the slopes, and some airlines are bit more lenient with your ski gear than others.
We're talking about ski boots today. Here's our run down of airline policies regarding ski boots as carry-on or checked luggage:

Southwest Starts Up Gate to Gate iMessaging from $2
The way in which Southwest Airlines does the in-flight WiFi thing means that the internet waves can operate from gate to gate. That�s pretty slick, as it sets them apart from competition. Things are about to get even better, as the carrier just announced that some in-flight messaging will be arriving soon to an airline seat near you.
Those who prefer the flavor of Apple when it comes to their mobile device are welcome to utilize the iMessage feature on their iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Users with iOS 5 or later can now keep things powered up, switched on, and stay connected.

You Won't Believe Where Southwest is Building an International Hub
We�ve known for quite some time that Southwest Airlines has visions of international destinations dancing in their head, and now it looks as if that they might have picked out exactly where they want to start things up. The lucky recipients of this kind of attention are the residents of the Sunshine State, as Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is scoring quite an airport upgrade.
All in all Southwest is spending more than $300 million on terminal and concourse improvements, as they try to get things ready to go for an influx of international departures and arrivals. Things should kick off at some point next year, and the construction equipment will head offset when 2017 rolls around.

How to Experience TSA PreCheck with Nine US Airlines
Even if you only fly every once in a while you�re probably somewhat familiar with TSA PreCheck. It�s the program that allows for speedy screening, and you can even leave your shoes on, laptop in the bag, and keep your belt around your waist.
It�s an option for those who are on the list for existing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler programs like Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI programs. However, not so fancy flyers are also eligible�and often just by opting-in through their frequent flyer number. Here�s the scoop on the nine domestic carriers that are doing the TSA PreCheck�assuming you�re at an eligible airport:
· Alaska Airlines
The information from Alaska Airlines seems a little outdated, as they still reference the whole TSA PreCheck thing as a �pilot.� It seems like eligible frequent flyers would have received an email inviting them to opt-in, but if not head into the My Account section of your profile on alaskaair.com. Once there�assuming you�re eligible�you will you will see a link across the top of the page inviting you to opt-in for shoes on screening.
· Allegiant Air
Nope�if you�re flying with Allegiant you�re going to need to do the security screening thing the old fashioned way
· American Airlines
Like most carriers you need to be a member of the airline�s frequent flyer program, so go ahead and sign up if you haven�t done so already. Next head over to aa.com, and make your way into the My Account section of the site. Check your personal information and password, and then go ahead and check the box to opt-in to participate in the TSA expedited screening program. When you check-in you�ll see whether you made the cut or not right on your boarding pass.

Southwest Adds TSA PreCheck Just in Time for Busy Holiday Travel
Good news for frequent flyers, as another carrier has joined in on the TSA PreCheck fun. In case you�re not familiar with the system, basically you consent for the airlines and TSA to know a little bit more about you through your frequent flyer number. Then at the airport�if selected�you can go through an expedited screening line. Here you usually get to leave your shoes on and keep your laptop in its bag, so it�s win-win for frequent travelers.
Now things are a go for the flyers over at Southwest Airlines, as the carrier is the latest to adopt the TSA PreCheck procedures. This is kind of big news, as Southwest is the country�s biggest domestic carrier. All those travelers should go along well with the system, as TSA PreCheck has made its way to around 100 airports. Those lucky enough to get the go ahead for the better security line will get confirmation within their boarding pass, as the text "TSA PRE" will appear in the upper left corner the paperwork.

New Routes Arriving from JetBlue, Delta, and Air Berlin
Sometimes it�s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we�ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· Air Berlin:
We know we�re sometimes guilty of not enjoying the moment and always looking ahead, but when it comes to transatlantic travel you can�t help but think about what�s next. Air Berlin is doing exactly this, as they�re already thinking of boosting their options for the warmer months of 2014. The plan is to start three more weekly flights between Berlin and New York-JFK beginning next May, and that will bump things up ten weekly options. The flights between Dusseldorf and New York-JFK will also be doing their thing ten times per week. Finally, Air Berlin is also boosting their flights between Berlin and Chicago-O�Hare to make things a daily option.
· Malaysia Airlines:
This one is certainly a bit away from where we call home, but if you�re looking to make your way around the globe it�s a great option. This week Malaysia Airlines started nonstop service between Kuala Lumpur and Darwin, Australia. The flights will do the back and forth thing thanks to some Boeing 737-800s, and this is option number six for the carrier from its base in Kuala Lumpur. Other destinations in Australia include spots like Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne�among a few others. As of now flights are scheduled to run four times each and every week, so say goodbye to Malaysia and g�day to Australia.

Two burglars will be spending Independence Day behind bars after burglarizing Radio Shack earlier today and leading officers on a brief chase through Glendora.
Arrested were Rebecca Wechter, 29, and Cesar Morales, 32, both from Whittier, on suspicion of burglary. Wechter, the driver of the getaway vehicle, was additionally booked on suspicion of evading an officer, while Morales was additionally charged with obstructing police for running from officers.
Among the loot allegedly taken were numerous iPhone 4s, an XBox 360 and memory cards in the window smash burglary. The suspects also reportedly used fake license plates covering the real plates on their black SUV, police said.
Officers received a call at 8:52 a.m. from a samaritan in the parking lot next to Radio Shack, 830 South Grand Avenue, and described a man running into a waiting SUV, which sped northbound on Grand Avenue. Responding officers where in the area and caught up to the SUV less than a mile away, said Sergeant Mike Randazzo.
Police attempted to pull over the SUV, but the suspects refused to stop and kept driving at a slow rate of speed, winding their way northbound. The suspects heavily used alleyways to evade police, eventually stopping in the alley behind the 100 block of North Vista Bonita Avenue.
The male suspect fled and ran about a block away with officers following behind. Police eventually caught the suspect, who tried to hide in some brush and climb up a tree, Randazzo said. The female suspect remained in the SUV and was quickly arrested.
The suspects had much more property in the SUV and officers are trying to determine if it may have been stolen from other stores, police said.
Wechter and Morales are scheduled to appear in West Covina Superior Court July 6.

With everyone keeping an open eye and paying attention to our surroundings, together we can continue to have Glendora be a safe place...thank you Good Samartian!
July 05, 2012 at 02:21 AM
That Radio Shack is responsible for about 100% of smash n' grab burglaries in this city.
July 05, 2012 at 06:42 PM
Thanks to the GPD and to our wonderful community who are willing to "get involved." We are right to be proud of Glendora.
July 06, 2012 at 12:04 AM
This is about the 4th or 5th (at least) time they have been burglarlized. Is there a 'reason' they will not put up bars when they are not open. ??
July 06, 2012 at 03:29 AM
I hope no business in Glendora, especially one like Radio Shack that has been in Glendora longer than most businesses ever has to put up bars, or temporary bars on their windows. This is Glendora, not East Los Angeles. Let's prosecute with more severity, and show that our community will stand against those that want to come in and terrorize.
July 06, 2012 at 03:48 AM
Thanks to GPD and the "Good Samaritan" we need all of the Good Samaritans we can get.
July 06, 2012 at 04:07 AM
Those 5 or 6 robberies at Radio Shack 'before' this recent attempt were never apprehended....so they could not be prosecuted, as you suggested. I live way above Bennett, & even in the Vons Foothill/Grand small shopping center, two (2) stores have them up 'every night'.
Reality is what you counter against, not 'wishful thinking'.
April 27, 2013 at 03:08 AM
I used to work there, for about a year. We got robbed 3 times, twice within three days. When I quit I got a call 3 days later saying we got robbed again.
