Ben Nulben is such a majestic mountain, breathtaking and mystical.
Collette – Article today in Permaculture Magazine:
There is a strong permaculture movement on the West coast of the US which will be very important as resources available to the population continue to dwindle. As we see in the Mid-West, monoculture is very susceptible to drought and weather extremes which will drive food prices ever higher. Permaculture is the way through this mess, but the government farm subsidies and giant agri-businesses will resist all attempts at changing the status quo.
Bright blessings to you this fine Celtic Autumn day.
Thanks Eric!
There will be little or no help from government on any level for permaculture…that much I know.
Corporate interests and permaculture practice are diametrically opposed.
However, like you, I believe in what I do and love my life this way.
I try to reach people through this blog.
As visitors reach 200,000, I am sure this is the way to spread the word!
Bless you X

Valencia is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city on the Mediterranean coast. It is Spain's 3rd largest city, surrounded by orange orchards and sandy beaches. The city enjoys year round sunshine, which along with the Mediterranean character of the people, the cuisine, the wealth of historical culture, exceptional geographical location, and not to be forgotten famous nightlife, makes this an ideal choice of holiday destination.
Every town has its own annual fiestas, and no matter what time of year you visit you are bound to stumble upon one. Lliria and Marines have their fair share of these and I would highly recommend watching one if you get the chance. Two of the most famous fiestas are La Tomatina and Las Fallas.
Tomatina - This takes place in the nearby town of Buñol. It is a tomato fight festival which takes place each year towards the end of August. Tens of thousands of participants come from all over the world to fight in a battle where more than 100 tonnes of tomatoes are thrown in the streets. The week long festival features music, parades, fireworks and dancing.
Las Fallas - This is undoubtedly one of the most unique festivals in Spain and is a week long fiesta that takes place annually in March. What started as a feast day for St. Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters, has evolved into a 5-day, multifaceted celebration of fire. The main focus is the creation and destruction of Niñots – huge statues that are placed at over 350 points in the city and in each surrounding town, including Lliria. The niñots remain in place until midnight on the 19th, when La Cremà takes place. At the stroke of midnight the niñots are set on fire to the chants of the crowds and a spectacular firework display begins.
There are a number of other activities that take place during the week building up to La Cremà. Check out one of the many bullfights or there are parades and paella contests all around the city. Firework displays occur everywhere and another highlight is the daily Mascletà which takes place at 2.00 in the Plaza Ayuntamiento when a huge pile of firecrackers are ignited and the ground literally shakes for the next 10 minutes.
For sports fans, Valencia has some of the best sporting venues in Europe with everything from the world famous football team, championship golf courses and incredible watersports venues. El Saler Golf Club was voted the 29th best golf course in the world but there are many other equally challenging and picturesque courses in the area, including El Bosque, Oliva Nove Golf Course, L'Escorpion and Villamartin.
The villa is only 5 minutes Drive away from the pretty village of Marines and the same distance from Olocau which boast a number of shops, bars, banks, park and a Marines has a small Saturday market.
A 10 minute drive will bring you to the bustling town of Lliria, an ancient traditional Spanish town known as the 'Town of Music', with all the amenities you would expect, such as bars, restaurants, shops, market etc. The town is located some 20 kms northwest of the City of Valencia, near the Mediterranean coast and is well served by both road and by Metro.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to see if darbepoetin alfa is an effective treatment for anemia in prostate cancer patients and, if so, what dose is most effective. Sometimes prostate cancer patients have low red blood cell counts (low hemoglobin) from various treatments they are receiving, such as chemotherapy. The red blood cells deliver oxygen to the tissue. This then helps give the patient more energy.
Prostate Cancer
Drug: Aranesp
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label

About Theresa Vaites
My husband and I have vacationed in Ocean City since childhood. My husband's family rented a couple of streets over on Brighton Place, so when we saw this property on the market, we knew it was 'the one!'
We have three young children, so we try to supply and stock the home with everything a family needs. We also just experienced the passing of our beloved dog, Frosty, so we also understand how important the furry members of your family are!
Theresa Vaites purchased this house in 2002
Why Theresa Vaites chose Boardwalk
We love the North End location. Our street is quiet but still near everything. We loved that we had the offstreet parking and that this property had two units so we also had an opportunity to use our vacation home!
What makes this house unique
We try to provide our guests everything they need for an enjoyable vacation.
Guestbook comments from the owner
This is a great house and my 16 month old son had a great time on his first trip to the shore. We'll dfeinately be back here again next year. Our dog Jake enjoyed the house too!

Foresight Linux with Gnome 2.22
The latest version 2.0 of the Foresight Linux distribution not only has the brand new Gnome 2.22 in its 32 and 64 bit versions, but also its own package management back-end, dubbed Conary.
Conary does not need to install all dependencies for a package, but simply picks the required files from the packages. Packagekit, which was presented at FOSDEM is the new front-end; KDE or XFCE can be installed.
According to the release notes the installation takes just 10 minutes. A new version of Syslinux replaces the popular Grub boot loader. The developers also say that the new version facilitates the installation of binary drivers for ATI and Nvidia graphics adapters. The distribution does not include Gimp as the developers are waiting for the latest version to be released.
If you are interesting in downloading the new Foresight Linux version, CD and DVD images for 32 and 64 bit systems are available here. This website has more details on the release.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 topped the iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, and Surface Pro 3 in a range of display color calibration tests.
Galaxy Note 4 wins DisplayMate's color accuracy shootout
by Rob Triggs 3 days ago
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 topped the iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, and Surface Pro 3 in a range of display color calibration tests.
Behold the tri-foldable display developed by SEL of Japan, that shows a way devices of the future could transform and adapt to our needs.
AMOLED displays are said to drain less power when displaying mostly black and dark images, but is this actually true?
According to a new report, AMOLED display panel costs could drop below that of LCD displays in as little as 2 years.
Display makers often throw around terms like A-Si, IGZO, or LTPS. But what do these acronyms actually mean and what's the impact of backplane technology on user experience? What about future developments?
Samsung's line of AMOLED tablets has been rumored for months, but now the leaks are gathering steam, possibly pointing to a release in the close future.
Samsung is going to launch a new line of tablets soon, says report. The Galaxy Tab S will feature high definition AMOLED displays, powerful specifications, and fingerprint sensors.
Taiwan-based AU Optronics just announced the industry's first Quad HD (WQHD) AMOLED panels for smartphones.
According to display expert Raymond Soneira, the Galaxy S5's display is the best display DisplayMate ever tested. Not only is the Galaxy S5 a marked improvement over the Galaxy S4 in almost all aspects, but it's also better than the Note 3, another device that gained Soneira's praises.
CPI recently showed off its new backplane fabrication process that will allow organic thin film transistors (OTFT) arrays that can be bent to a radius of 1mm. The OTFT arrays are designed with the intention of eventually integrating them into foldable, ultra-flexible AMOLED backplanes.

SEO Tools: Making Google Analytics Work For You 97thfloor.comSubmitted by WayneSleight Nov 30 2012 in Analytics 4 Comments Discuss (4) |
Gazing into the sprawling, exhaustive database that is Google Analytics for the first time can feel a little overwhelming for the uninitiated. There are sweeping lines, multiple colors, various tabs, customizable dates and a variety of charts that can appear like a randomly assembled collection of arbitrary data with little chance of being meaningfully interpreted.
Jacob Parry @bocaj03
That is really cool. It would be cool to see the analytics for comic book sites on the dates that the Avenger movies came out.
Chase Larson @chasemlarson
I'm a fan of any tool that makes analyzing data that much easier, especially for clients.
Brandon Hassler @BrandonHassler
Love this tool. Clients would LOVE this kind of data given to them.
Josh Moody @GotMoody
Fantastic tool that helps tell you the whole story behind analytics. Thanks for sharing!

Hm that seems a little higher than what I saw in our recent local Walker's price list, but I think Walker's price was for 5 gallons, so yours for your area don't seem completely out of line for what you're likely getting.
Wow, I had no idea.. being very new. I'm getting about15-18 gallons of premium Chard juice for free.. friends in good places. They'll also be getting me the same of premium Zinfandel in a couple of weeks.. same price... very fortunate. Next year, if I have success, I'll delve into Pinot as well. I'll leave the Cab for later on.
The prices are in line compared to what we get here in Ohio.

Quote of the Year
"Senators say they fear the N.R.A. and the gun lobby. But I think that fear must be nothing compared to the fear the first graders in Sandy Hook Elementary School felt as their lives ended in a hail of bullets."
-- former U.S. Representative and gun victim Gabrielle Giffords in the NY Times Op-Ed, "A Senate in the Gun Lobby's Grip," April 17, 2013, after a group of senators (below: 41 Republicans, four Democrats, one procedural) blocked passage of mild gun-control reforms including background checks.

In his private practice, and in two clinical practices where he formerly worked, Michael Becklund came across a wide range of client needs, from victims of motor vehicle accidents to chronic pain sufferers. He uses therapeutic modalities including deep tissue massage, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Craniosacral Therapy, Structural Balancing and Muscle Energy Technique.
Some people come to Michael for palliative care, often instead of medication, sometimes in conjunction with it. He says, "I pride myself in understanding my scope of practice. I know when to refer my patients out to other practitioners when necessary. I have a wonderful network of acupuncturists, chiropractors, medical doctors, and others I refer my clients to."
Sports Massage
"I'd say 25% of my clients are very active people who participate in various sports: running, cycling, swimming, tennis, snowboarding, skiing, basketball, and cyclocross," Michael estimates. He counts marathoners, ultra marathoners, and body builders among his clients. "People who want to lead an active life often find that massage helps, as part of their wellness. They don't look at it as an occasional, spa-like experience, but as a regular part of what enables them to keep going."
Because of his experience teaching advanced classes in kinesthesiology and the anatomy of movement for five years at East-West College, Michael is deeply familiar with common sports and athletic injuries. Additionally, Michael studied low back anatomy, causes of pain and injury, stabilization techniques, and patient self-care from The Sports Massage Clinic.
Personal Injury
Victims of car accidents, work injuries, bike accidents, and other personal injuries often turn to massage therapy for pain relief and to aid the body's healing powers. Massage may also help with the stress and anxiety that often accompany an injury. Michael works closely with doctors, chiropractors, and other health practitioners to make this process smooth for his clients. His professional billing service provides expert interaction with insurance companies and can answer client questions about how it works.
"Headache work is an area I have a lot of experience in," says Michael. He completed study in Massage for Headaches at East-West College of the Healing Arts in 1996. "We focused on the anatomy of the cervical spine and how to approach various syndromes, from cluster headaches to migraines, using methods including trigger point therapy and cross-fiber friction."
Repetitive Stress
Massage is known to provide relief from RSS/RSI problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), tendonitis, and tennis elbow. "Repetitive stress injuries are a common malady, especially among office workers," Michael explains. "Clients can be helped with techniques of massage, self care, stretching, and ergonomics." He applies his knowledge of workspace issues and multiple modalities to provide relief from repetitive strain. Michael received his Certificate of Achievement for study of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from the Institute for Advanced Therapeutics.
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can be debilitating to people's lives. Ongoing or frequently recurring pain may originate in a sports injury, motor vehicle accident, or on-the-job injury. It may arise from syndromes such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or sciatica. Whatever the cause, many clients find that massage relieves pain and helps with symptom management. Michael approaches each case on its own merits, applying the appropriate therapeutic modality to the appropriate patient.

An expert on drug investigations stopped in Wausau Wednesday to talk about ways communities can tackle growing drug problems like meth.
Doctor Currie Myers is a retired sheriff and now Dean of Justice at Rasmussen College. He spoke about the impact meth can have especially in rural communities. He says western Wisconsin is getting hit hard.
"It depends on supply and demand. In rural areas, number one it could be an area that is real close in proximity to the Twin Cities which has a huge importation of meth issue. So, you are getting some of that, but the other is that ingredients could be readily available in a more rural area to cook, " Explained Myers.

text: On February 9, 1998, at 0947 hours Hawaii standard time, Hawaiian Airlines flight 158, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-51, N601AP, aborted takeoff from Honolulu International Airport, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, following a contained engine failure. The aircraft sustained minor damage; however, none of the 139 passengers nor the crew of 5 were injured. The aircraft was operated by Hawaiian Airlines, Inc., under 14 CFR Part 121 when the incident occurred. The operation was originating at the time of the incident as a scheduled domestic passenger flight to Kona, Hawaii. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and an IFR flight plan was filed.During the takeoff roll, about 90 knots, the crew heard a loud oscillating sound. In response, the captain initiated an aborted takeoff. The first officer called the tower operator and asked if they saw anything unusual. The operator responded by saying that he did not. As the aircraft continued to decelerate, the tower operator informed the flight crew that a fire was now visible in the area of the No. 2 engine. The captain was able to bring the aircraft to a stop on a high speed taxiway then initiated the engine fire and emergency evacuation checklists. The No. 4 main landing gear tires deflated during the incident. An inspection revealed the associated thermal fuse plugs had melted. A flight attendant opened the forward right service door; however, the emergency evacuation slide did not inflate. The captain then directed the forward left cabin door and airstairs be deployed. The passengers and crew all deplaned through the left cabin door without further incident.An inspection of the No. 2 engine by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspectors revealed the separation of the No. 6 roller bearing cage. After the incident, 19 of the 26 roller bearings were recovered. The bearing cage was found on the runway in two pieces. The No. 3 & 4 turbine blades and bearing support housing rods exhibited scarring and deformation.An FAA cabin safety specialist inspected the forward right service door after the incident. He found the door fully open with the girt bar in place. The slide had come out of the bustle, but it did not come out of the packing. The slide was uninflated, hanging outside the doorway. The flight attendant reported that she had heard a "hiss" at the time she opened the service door.The specialist noted that the pressure gauge on the inflation bottle for the slide read 0 pounds. He then directed that the slide be removed and taken to the airline slide shop where it was tested with a fully charged bottle. The slide inflated fully with no leaks or tears observed. The bottle (Part No. 300117-100) was last checked and found to be within pressure limits during a 125-hour service check on January 22, 1998. According to the aircraft records, the last overhaul on the bottle was performed on September 22, 1995. The bottles are scheduled to be overhauled every 3 years. The next overhaul for the bottle in the forward right door was scheduled for September 6, 1998.Historically, some bottles have been known to experience loss of pressure over time. This has been attributed to misalignment of the poppet valve "O" ring seal (Part No. 1A2313-3). According to the operator, the bottle was pressure checked and overhauled after the incident.According to the operations manual, daily pressure checks of the inflation bottles are required. During the investigation, the operator discovered that a change to the operations manual had resulted in confusion as to whose responsibility it was to perform those daily checks. The manual stated that it is the captain's responsibility to insure that the bottle is pressurized but there is no corresponding item on the preflight inspection checklist. Consequently, the flight crew believed that maintenance personnel had incorporated the checks in their daily inspection. Conversely, maintenance personnel reported that they believed the flight crews were performing the checks. Until the incident, the operator was unaware that the inspections were not being accomplished.The last major inspection of the aircraft was completed in October, 1996.

Dracula (NBC) Pictures with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Victoria Smurfit (Do you approve?)| May 12, 2013 at 7:12 PM EST
This fall, Dracula is coming to NBC in the form of Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
Dracula (NBC) Synopsis – What is Dracula about?
Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("The Tudors") stars in this provocative new drama as one of the world's most iconic characters. It's the late 19th century and the mysterious Dracula (Rhys Meyers) has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He's especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night — useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: He hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan… until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife. Victoria Smurfit ("About a Boy"), Thomas Kretschmann ("King Kong"), Jessica De Gouw ("Arrow"), Oliver Jackson-Cohen ("Mr. Selfridge"), Nonso Anozie ("Game of Thrones") and Katie McGrath ("Merlin") also star.
Writer Daniel Knauf ("Carnival"), Tony Krantz, ("24," "Sports Night"), Colin Callender and Gareth Neame ("Downton Abbey") serve as executive producers. "Dracula" is a production of Flame Ventures, Sky Living, Playground Entertainment, Universal Television, NBCUniversal International Television Production and Carnival Film & Television.
Dracula will air Fridays at 10 pm EST on NBC.
Do you like the looks of Meyers as Dracula?

Charles Wetherbee
Violinist Charles (Chas) Wetherbee brings to the Boulder Phil a wealth of experience and expertise from his varied career as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral concertmaster and teacher. He has performed throughout the world, including Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Canada, Mexico, and the United States. He has appeared at the Aspen Music Festival, the Garth Newell Center, the Hidden Valley Festival (CA), the Roycroft Chamber Festival (NY), the Nouvelle Academie International d'Été (Nice, France), the Olympic Music Festival (WA), the MidAmerica Music Festival (OH), and Strings in the Mountains (CO). Charles is a graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Aaron Rosand.
A native of Buffalo, New York, Charles gave his first performances at age six. He made his debut with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra under Symon Bychkov, and since then has performed with the National Symphony under Mstislav Rostropovitch, as well as the Japan Philharmonic, the Concerto Soloists of Philadelphia, the Philharmonic Orchestra of Bogota (Columbia), the National Repertory Orchestra, the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Mexico, the Symphony Orchestra of the Curtis Institute, the Buffalo Philharmonic, and the Virginia Symphony, among others.
The Washington Post called Wetherbee "a consummate artist… with flawless technique". The Virginia Pilot said that he "… gave a performance of great conviction and emotion". The Columbus Dispatch wrote "… a first rate showman… his double-stops, harmonics, and beautiful sound kept the audience spellbound". As a recording artist, he is represented on Naxos, Seize the Music Records, Weasel Records, Vienna Modern Classics, as well as the Cascade labels, and was also featured on a recording with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra playing Massenet's Meditation from Thaïs.
A devoted chamber musician, Charles is the first violinist of the Carpe Diem String Quartet, with whom he tours and performs regularly. After a recent concert, the Washington Post had this to say about Carpe Diem - "But the Carpe Diem Quartet, appearing at the Dumbarton Church, was extraordinary. Among these contemporary quartets who speak in different tongues, the Carpe Diem is the best one out there." He often performs with artists outside of the "classical box" and has collaborated with composer and guitarist Andrew Lipke, singer/song writer Willy Porter, Juno Award winner banjoist Jayme Stone, and Latin Grammy winner Raul Juarena, among others.
Charles' first orchestral appointment was as Principal Second Violin with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington D.C. Following five years in NSO, Chas was concertmaster of the Columbus Symphony for sixteen years.
Charles has taught throughout his career, and held positions at American University, Capital University, Ohio Wesleyan and The Ohio State University. While at Ohio State, he developed a new violin course for folk music and improvisation. He also taught orchestral excerpts and audition preparation. His students have gone on to study at such schools as Rice, Juilliard, the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Colburn Conservatory. In 2002, Mr. Wetherbee acquired the use of one of the world's rare and sought after violins, the Widenhouse 44. He performs on bows by Charles Espy and Bennoit Rolland.

As part of the festive season we will be performing the ever popular Handel's Messiah and joining with local school primary children and the Harrogate Symphony Orchestra for The Harrogate Christmas Concert. A highlight of our programme will be a Dvorak & Brahms concert in March 2015 which includes Dvorak's Te Deum and Brahms' Academic Festival Overture & Ein Deutsches Requiem. Our Season rounds off in June 2015 when we will be joined by Harrogate Ladies College Choir for a wonderful concert of All Things Bright & Beautiful which will include Carter's Magnificat and Rutter's Magnificat.

In Remembrance
Elgar Spirit of England
plus songs that won the wars for all to sing
Sarah Fox Soprano
HCS' new ambassador, international soprano Sarah Fox
In the year that sees the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and the 70th Anniversary of the D Day landings, which led to the end of World War Two, HCS, with the Amici Ensemble, will add their own tribute with a concert of remembrance and tribute to all those who lost their lives. Yorkshire born highly acclaimed soprano Sarah Fox, who is also HCS' new ambassador, will continue her long association with HCS in this concert, featuring throughout.
The first work to be performed will be Haydn's Mass in Time of War in C major which was composed in 1796. The title refers to the disastrous war the Emperor of Austria was waging against the French, and in which the young Napoleon Bonaparte was winning victory after victory. The Mass acquired the nickname Paukenmesse (Drum Mass) because of the menacing drum strokes in the Agnus Dei. Haydn's work concludes which what is often described as the anxious and desperate final prayer which gives impressions of conflict to come. The second piece, Elgar's The Spirit of England, builds on this theme as it is seen as his version of a war requiem which he dedicated to 'the memory of our glorious men with a special thought for the Worcesters' in 1915, at the suggestion of his friend Sir Sidney Colvin.
To end the concert and to highlight the importance of music in both world wars Sarah Fox will lead the Choir and Orchestra in 'Songs that won the wars' in which audience participation is actively encouraged!

Handel Messiah
Samantha Hay Soprano
£22, £20 & £17
Tickets from The Harrogate Box Office: Tel 01423 502116 (opening hours 10am to 5pm Mon to Sat)Book tickets online »
Messiah is one of the Christian world's most highly esteemed and popular works ever. It is almost like an 18th century musical which contains so many hummable tunes, rousing choruses, memorable moments and virtuoso arias that it can be appreciated on many levels. In their annual performance of this outstanding work, Harrogate Choral Society will once again be joined by the acclaimed Manchester Camerata. Alongside the Choir will be a wealth of talented soloists. Samantha Hay, Soprano will return to the Royal Hall after the Harrogate Advertiser described her "gentle and entrancing tones" when she joined Harrogate Choral Society for their 2010 performance of the Messiah. Also reprising their roles will be Ben Thapa, Tenor and Frederick Long, Bass who both received great critical acclaim in their 2012 performance. New to the Harrogate audience, Anna Huntley, Contralto, will make up the quartet. The Guardian has described Anna as "a fast rising British talent" and she comes with a strong pedigree having won the Michael Oliver Prize in the London Handel Singing Competition.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 1LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
I bought my Cruze new in August 2011 and have driven it 53,000 miles. So far there have been no maintenance issues. I've only had to change the oil every 7000 miles or so, and replace the tires, which are inexpensive.
In addition to costing me very little, the car's performance meets my needs. On the highway, I get 32-37 MPG, but my overall average is 27.5. It has performed admirably in all weather conditions (including heavy snow with a set of winter tires) and even on an autocross course. The car's tiny turbo is a must for me; it's not terrifying to accelerate onto the highway in a Cruze like it has been in other small cars I've driven.
Overall, I love this little car.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
I have a 2011 Cruze with 1.8L engine with automatic transmission. I have had the car in for I major issue. The transmission housing broke.
Chevy replaced it under warranty. The dealer said it was something they never seen before. The good is the car is quiet and the ride is comfortable. I am needing new tires so 70000 miles is good. Also I got 3 years of oil changes in the deal so I so far have no out of pocket expenses. The bad is the fuel mileage of 27.8 ave.
I was hoping for 30+. The ugly is the transmission program. It alway is going to the highest gear as fast as possible. There is a three second delay for down shifting as it finds the right gear which almost got hit.

I now am looking forward to selling my Cruze.
Tomorrow I will be back in the garage for a third transmission leak issue.
In addition to a water pump recall and an additional leak, and a radiator leak, and a recall on brakes, and a loose motor mount, I am officially done with this car. I remain satisfied with the interior, but feel that the exterior is looking 'dated' with new car styles coming out.
It does still get 40 mpg, when I drive on cruise, within the speed limit, on flat hwys and without cargo or passengers.
Otherwise, expect 27-32 mpg.
As a former Civic owner of 10 years without even one single issue, the car does not impress.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan LTZ 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
To follow up with my initial review of the Cruz and my experience, I submit this information.
I have been in my car for over 2 years (original owner).
Gas mileage is inconsistent - tends to be near the lower end of manufacture claims.
Expect 25 in city/32 highway. Advertised 40 is possible, if alone, on cruise, no cargo, and going speed limit.
Problems: at 28K miles, I am dealing with a leaky transmission, leaky water pump and radiator.
I now have doubts over the quality & reliability.
My experience with car ownership has always been: once you start putting money into the car, you keep putting money in the car.
Is this going to be my destiny??

I recently purchased a used Chevy Cruze. A friend had purchased one brand new a few weeks earlier and he said he loved it. Well I am feeling the same way about ours. We purchased a used 2011 2LT with leather and it is great. Rides nice, feels solid and gets great gas mileage.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 2LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
I thought I had spent pleanty of time researching vehicles before purchasing (1 year) apparently not. Bought the car in Aug 2012 with about 20K miles on it, there are now about 34K on it, and I'm now beggining to notice strange noises. When the car is turned on and not moving the hood seems to vibrate very loud, and after about 10 min of running it sounds like it's going to die. Also there is now a thump type noise under my feet similar to a ball rolling around when I break or accelerate. I know all cars have issues but I guess I didn't expect problems in under a year or ownership. Now I'm stuck in a car for the next 6 years that I'm not 100% happy with! Kinda sucks!

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
I enjoyed my Cruze for the 1st year and a half, even though it had it's fair share of issues covered by warranty. It handled well enough and I felt it was a good value.
In 2 years I put on 43K miles mostly commuting on the highway.
During the warranty period, I had 2 cases of "check engine" light on which were caused by faulty sensors.
Also I had a steering issue whereby the steering would slightly stick at highway speeds.
It often had a strange groaning sound from the engine.
Biggest problem. "AC off due to engine overheat"
It took 5 trips to the dealer to fix it.
I wanted a car I could drive trouble free for many years and realized this wasn't it. I traded it in for a Hyundai.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan 1LT 4dr Sedan (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
I have now had this car for just over two years and almost 21K miles.
I have never had a car that I enjoyed as much.
When I first purchased it, there were lots of little "back to the dealer" fixes, but they were all corrected.
I am pleased with the mpg, though I know foreign cars of similar size typically get better.
I drive a combination of city and highway and typically get about 29 to 29 mpg.
I do not feel like I am driving a small car.
Recently, I had a rear-ender in which the other driver slammed into me at a pretty good clip.
The trunk lid was damaged and the bumper was, but it wasn't very obvious.
I was able to drive away, while the other driver was not.

I traded in an impala for the advertised gas mileage of the cruze, I took it on a road trip to Myrtle Beach SC and averaged
31 mpg, the impala averaged 32 on the same trip on the open road. I contacted GM a number of times and was old there was nothing that could be done, took it in to a local dealership, the computer scan was normal, tried to get GM to trade it back in for another impala, no luck on that either, during this time my wife bought a new nissan versa because she drives around 150 miles per day the versa averages 38 MPG on te open road and if you use cruise control it will average 42/43 MPG. I feel GM pulled the wool over everyones eyes with the MPG on the cruze

The most common complaint everybody has is that there is a problem with the transmission. After test driving dozens of cars in this class and finally buying this one I can say the computer operated transmission is STRANGE but youll have the same problems on all other cars with the ctv transmission.
That being said I so far love the car. It is very comfortable in the front seats, and for the price crams alot more technology into it than any other car ive seen in its class. Very quite ride, very smooth ride, and while it's not "Fun" to drive, (I do miss my truck with it's RWD and tire smoking fun) its VERY plesent, very quiet, very very smooth, great on gas if you aren't driving like an idiot

Seeking recommendations for best steakhouse in D.C.
Would welcome any suggestions for "non-chain" steakhouse(s) in D.C. Ambiance, price and location in city are unimportant. Quality of food is key. Thanks for any and all recommendations.
Gosh, it's been more eight hours since your post and nobody has mentioned Ray's The Steaks in Arlington yet? It's not even that early in the morning!
Price is quite fair, ambiance is lousy, food is outstanding, wine list is functional, wait for a table is long. There are lots of reviews here, nearly all positive other than the usual cranks.
re: Hal Laurent
Close enough- I mean it's spitting distance to DC.
re: Hal Laurent
I tend not to take a post completely literally unless there's enough detail so that there's no wiggle room. Since she said the location in the city was not important I didn't see anything that would preclude a nearby Arlington location that fit all the other requirements. (A Baltimoron should especially understand this <g>) If she was being given a free meal ticket with the provision that she spend the money in DC, I could understand a restriction (and she'd probably mention that).
Besides, I wanted to recommend a place with which I was familiar. While I know all the big names, I don't have the big bucks so I've never been to Van's, Palmer's, or Capitol Grille, all of which have had their share of good and bad reviews. But Ray's seems to be nearly universally liked as a "chowhound" kind of place. I concur.
re: Hal Laurent
Rivers from rec.audio.pro
re: MikeR
You called? I've been to Ray's in SS. It was OK, nothing to write home about. I hear the one in Arlington is better.
Personally, I prefer Mortons and Ruths Chris.
Question for Jane Hyde - since quality of food is key, why do you categorically exclude chains? I think Ruths Chris and Mortons are better than Ray's.
re: Gosh
Serving a steak doused in butter is a sure fire way to make a steak taste good on the pure basis that if you serve anything in fat (which is in essence all butter is) then your taste buds are coated and the tasting of the ingredient is dulled. It's how Morton's and Ruth's Chris especially get away with subpar meats at such high prices.
re: jpschust
I personally can't stand the butter on Ruth Chris' steaks. The 2 times I've been there I've gotten the steak without the butter. I think it takes away from the flavor of the steak. As much as I love a good steak sauce...I kinda feel that a really great steak should require absolutly nothing on it...the beef should stand alone :)
re: Gosh
In response to the question as to why I asked for "non-chain" restaurants: Please don't misunderstand me. I can (and do) eat at Mortons and Ruth's Chris here in CT. When I travel, I like to take the opportunity to find the undiscovered gem that I can't find in my backyard. For what it is worth, we dined at Mortons last Thursday and at Ray's the Classics on Friday. Mortons was, in our opinion, excellent (as always), but we felt Ray's delivered better value. Ray's bread, salads, steaks and desserts were (we felt) superior to Mortons. Sides were tastier at Mortons and steaks were just about as good, but overall, Ray's was better (and literally half the price).
re: Jane Hyde
There are a lot of "experts" on line, and not all of them read between the lines. I understand your reason behind specifying restaurants that aren't part of national chains, but many people will simply read your post as "Where can I get a good steak in Washington?" assuming that you're from a small town in the South where the best steak in town is pounded, breaded, and fried at Aunt Sadie's Nook, and the nearest Ruth Chris is 90 miles away.
To make your request better focused (and still some people won't read it all) you could say "We're from Boston and we have Ruth Chris, Morton's, etc. so I want to eat at a place that isn't just another copy of where I can reliably eat a steak at home."
Ray's is clearly the answer around here, and most of the regulars here would fire it off as a suggestion it given the simple trigger of "steak." But for something a bit out of the ordinary when it comes to beef rather than a specific style of beef, we have Argentine steak houses and restaurants, and a couple of Asian places that serve steak in unusual ways. You don't get that everywhere.
re: Dakota Guy
Forgot Bobby Van's, which I think is pretty excellent too. That said I agree with all of your comments above, especially avoid the poorly named BLT Steak with matching poor food and service.
re: jpschust
I'm going to have to disagree on Bobby Van's. Their service is great, but they burn their steaks. Been twice for steak, both times, my medium rare steak has come out looking as if someone dropped it into a campfire. Outside was completely charred black- not a nice sear, but carbonized. I do like their lunch menu though. In DC, I think Capital Grille is the most consistent with their steak.
re: dwbengals
I just went to Bobby Van's on April 11 and agree with the preceding comment. Quite disappointed with the ribeye, which was chewier than it should have been, too heavily charred on the outside, and lacked any depth of flavor. Four of us dined for . . . $400, which seemed like a lot. My dinner companions were reasonably satisfied, but were not impressed.
I have been to Ray's the Steaks several times over the past 4-5 years, and it has always been good, and far better than Bobby Van's. It's a quirky place, but that's part of its charm.
re: Dakota Guy
I really like Charlie Palmer's and am always happy with their steaks and sliders.
The only "non-chain" steakhouse that comes to mind is Ray's, which is not in DC. My favorite steakhouse IN DC is probably Capital Grille. If you want something a little out of the ordinary, try Fogo de Chao, which is a Brazilian-style churrascarria and has very good meat.
If it is all about the meat, then Ray's the Steaks is your answer, imho.
On a side note, the $20.07 fixed price lunch at Charlie Palmer is really an exceptional value.
DC has a branch of every chain steak house there is. Did somebody skip us?
There are a couple of places where you can get a tasty steak that have a little local flavor if you want to try them.
The Monocle on Capital Hill has good steaks (and burgers) and stiff drinks with a dose of the one thing that sets us apart from other cities - politics. It's on the Senate side of Capital Hill and is a hangout for Senators, high ranking staff and lobbyists. Many of them pass through the clubby bar on their way to private dining rooms but they often linger.
Montmartre (Eastern Market) and Montsouris (Dupont Circle) have great hanger steak with pommes frites in very pleasant surroundings.
re: MakingSense
Capital Grille would get my vote.
I've been a big booster of the Monocle as well, but on my last visit they seemed to be just going through the motions. I hope that was just an off-night.
re: Bill on Capitol Hill
Toss up between Capital Grill and Charlie Palmer.
Agree that Monocle has been somewhat on-again, off-again, lately. I think their real stock in trade is private parties.
I'm surprised that there hasn't been more publicity about the effect of the new House ethics rules on the restaurants, caterers in town. No more entertaining of Members or staff. That has got to have hurt the bottom line. It's really affected charity events.
re: Jane Hyde
Jane, Ray's is about 5 minutes from D.C. but difficult to get a table - call now. Capitol Grille is a chain, Bobby Van's is a chain, Sam & Harry's is horrible. The Prime Rib has excellent food-you can't get a bad meal there, but is really more about the "special occasion" atmosphere. Per your reqs, Ray's sounds like the one (just my 2 cents!)
re: OneMoreBite
There is no reservation system for Ray's- you have to either show up early to put your name on a list.
Italian- Get ye to Dino in Cleveland Park.
re: jpschust
Ray's in Arlington may not take reservations, but Ray's in Silver Spring (2 blocks from the Metro) does.
Same great steaks plus lots more, and much more upscale atmosphere.
re: Jane Hyde
For good upscale Italian, I recommend Tosca or Obelisk. For more casual, but very good, Italian, I highly recommend A La Lucia in Old Town Alexandria. Someone will recommend Dino for casual Italian, although I personally don't think it is worth the drive from Virginia or the parking problems in that area.
re: Dakota Guy
Definitely second Tosca. Best in town.
Roberto Donna's Bebo in VA was getting iffy reviews on sevice for awhile but they seem to have ironed out the problems. He had starred for years at the highly rated Galileo downtown. May be worth a try.
The other longtime favorite in town is the funky AV Ristorante near the Convention Center. Old style red gravy place frequented by celebrities and regular folks. Due to fall to the wrecking ball soon and an institution will be gone forever.
There's a bunch of DC steak threads, as well as a Sietsiema article on the subject. What it boils down to is that no single steakhouse in DC does great steak/sides/service/ambience. You might get three of those but never all.
That said, I'd go with Rays. Not fond of the aircraft hangar atmosphere, but the meat/price/value quotient is on the money.
I had a wonderful experience when I went to The Prime Rib for the first time. It's such a classic DC spot and remains one of the only spots that requires a jacket...which is kind of fun. Our server was fantastic...very witty...wish I could remember his name. The steak was suberb and the sides even better.
They have a lunch special (I think they still have it) that is something like 3 courses for $30...quite a steal if you ask me. Even their non-steak items...like their chicken picatta was tasty
Sounds like Ray's is a must. Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'll be sure to report back.
I was reading the Washingtonian the other day and their highest rated steak place is Charlie Palmer Steak. The full menu is on the website. It looks great I cannot wait to try it. I have been both to The Caucus room and to BLT Steak. I was unimpressed with both. The Caucus room is part of a local DC chain and the food was over priced for what I got. As far as the way too trendy BLT, the steak was good, but it seemed that they didn't pay attention to anything else they served. Service was average, but the atmosphere was awful. Very much a scene. Report on Ray's or wherever you end up.
I'm not sure why you'd choose to exclude the "chains" ... since both The Palm and Smith & Wollenski offer far superior beef than any of the independents I've tried. Much better than Prime Rib, in my view. (Which, in fact, may be a mini-chain itself, because it has a sister restaurant in Baltimore.) Haven't tried Ray's yet, but if they serve a better piece of meat than S&W or Palm, I'll eat my hat for dessert.
re: richarm1
Get out the salt. IMO, the quality of Ray's steaks is equal to, or frequently better than, the major steakhouse chains in the area. At a substantially lower price point.
re: richarm1
My reason for excluding the chain restaurants is primarily because I live outside of NYC and can go the major chains anytime. I agree with you that some are excellent. However, when visiting another city, I prefer to try a new experience, and often find I get a better feel for the city, people, culture, etc., when I do so. And I like supporting independent restaurants, as well.
Thanks to all who suggested Ray's. Absolutely wonderful dinner. Foccacia, salads, steaks, desserts - - all truly outstanding. Side dishes (potatoes, spinach, onions) were good, not great; but the rest of the meal was delicious, and an unbeatable value. I've spent twice as much at Mortons for less.
re: Jane Hyde
Thanks for the feedback Jane. It narrows down the steak houses I would like to try. I am from NYC and I will be visiting DC/VA/MD a lot this year, almost every other wkend since my SO is on rotation there for 3 - 6 months for work. I'm trying to map out all the places/restaurants I would like to visit and try. We might even move there if things turn out well.
re: itstangy
Have now tried both Ray's. My fellow Chowhounds were right on target - - the Ray's in VA has zero ambience, but terrific steak. A great value. I preferred Ray's the Classics in Silver Spring, but only because the setting was nicer and the menu was more extensive. The quality of the beef was outstanding in both locations. Also went to Mortons while in DC (have been to pretty much all the chains: Ruth's Chris, Smith & Wollensky, etc.). I would put Ray's right up there with the best of the best, and when you consider that it is about half the price, I think that is an amazing value.
re: Jane Hyde
Next time you come in to town you might want to try something like Prime Rib (talked about above) for something totally different and very old school DC. It's open for both lunch and dinner. And sometime they have a great (read: totally cheap!) lunch special with the Prime Rib. I don't usually order prime rib but my boyfriend talked me into ordering it and it was fantastic. Full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The sides there (in my mind almost as important as the steak itself) were so good. We got the creamed spinach, the mashed potatoes, corn and I like 1 or 2 others (our hilarious and fun waiter brought us out some extras for free because he wanted me to get the full experience).
I have yet to try Ray's since I don't make it out to the burbs that often but I've been hearing such great things that I might need to make a special trip soon.
re: Elyssa
Thanks for the tip. I'll put Prime Rib on the list!
