Excellent hotel and walking distance to a mallPosted Sep 21, 2014
Overall excellent. Usually only one English speaking person available at reception but always available and willing to help. A perfect stay but the rooms doors are a bit heavy and if slammed can wake someone up

On the Edge of Town (or just past it)Posted Jun 2, 2012
Pros: The front desk was helpful and friendly.
Cons: It was too far from downtown Madrid.
Location: There is a huge mall just across the street, although getting to it is not a short walk at all. The area seems industrial, and it is quiet enough.
It's an AC Marriott - we haven't had a bad one, and this was no exception. There are two things I would note however. First, if your intent is to visit the city, Madrid, this place is quite far from downtown. We like to use metro systems, and the closest stop to the hotel is about a 10-15 minute walk. Not only that, but you're in Zone 2, and need a separate ticket to ride the few stops to Zone 1, when you're in the Madrid Metro Zone 1 proper. Not only that, but you have to change trains at the junction of Zone 1 and Zone 2, something you may only find out by trial and error, as we did. Second, the continental buffet breakfast is 14 Euros! This is beyond expensive. I wish I had asked, but having been in several hotels over our 3 weeks in Spain, and not having any continental buffet cost over 5 Euros, this was a shock on checkout! The free mini-bar in the room was not offsetting. On our next visit to Madrid we will stay closer to town, perhaps in another AC Marriott.

Great Place Not Close to MetroPosted Jul 19, 2008 on Hotels.com
This was a lovely hotel and you can't beat the price. The only issues I had were the shuttle to the Airport only started running at 7:30am and I needed to leave at 6:30am to be 2 hours early for my flight. The Metro was also about 1/4 of a mile away and at the FAR end of the north line so it took about an hour to get into downtown Madrid.

Superior ServicePosted May 27, 2008 on Hotels.com
The hotel is accessible from the train and the bus but it was easier to take the cab to the hotel from the airport and then take the bus/train to the airport for the return to the airport. We also found it very easy use the bus/train to get downtown to see the sites. I was very impressed with the service at the front desk. The gym was closed both days we were there which was a disappointment. There is a very large mall near by which is in walking distance that has restaurants and there is a grocery store near the mall. I would stay at this hotel again but would be sure to make the reservation in advanced instead of adding a day once we had arrive for the rate was much higher in person.

Outstanding HotelPosted Feb 7, 2008 on Hotels.com
Although this hotel was in a pueblo outside of Madrid, further than I anticipated, it was close to the airport which was what I asked for. The bed was the most comfortable bed I slept on in my 3 week stay and the hotel and my room were in excellent condition. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I would certainly use this hotel again in the future.

Breakfast is not very good
The breakfast didn't have any meat and it made me sick so I hade to eat else where
The staff was excellent they act in a professional manner and they are very knowledgeable.overall we were satisfied with our stay and it's value for the price we payed.
The breakfast was very poor, I think they should rotate the type of food serve rather than the same thing every day, also more fruits as this gives us a choice between the food or fruits
There are no comments available for this review
Nice clean, adequately resourced room. Friendly and accessible staff. Lovely pool area, clean and well kept. Days Inn is very close to the Florida Mall, and a reasonably sized Barnes and Noble bookshop; in fact it is in walking distance - approximately 20 minutes. I had a problem free 12 day stay.
Very limited variety of items for breakfast, which was only an issue because I had a 12 day stay.
Good value for the money. Although a very busy location the room was quiet and relaxing.
No complaints.

There was a leak, and the floor was soaking wet.
The breakfast and the cleanliness.
The staff.
Location Staff friendliness
Size of rooms Cleanliness Age showing
Location was great, close to the airport, bus stops, Florida Mall, and entertainment parks. High way is easy to access too. Rooms are clean and comfy. Food was good. Tickets sold there are for reasonable prices. Maintenance is okay. WiFi is great and free.
Check in, if after 10 PM or before 6 AM, was from a window and for security reasons which caused limitless discomfort and made us almost miss our flight although we called the lobby the night before. Airport Shuttle service is so bad too; it has really bad timing. Food lacks variety.
Stay was ok. Rooms clean and fuctionable.
Open breakfast at 6am.; Crowd waiting for building access. Lobby closed after hours like a cheesy motel. Unsanitary breakfast bar; roach popped out from under the juice machine for my morning wake-up. Long black hair right on hot water jug spout. When brought to attendants attention she grabbed and wiped the spout with her bare fingers. These things make guest wonder just how sanitary the hole breakfast operation is and if any food handling protocol is followed. Made me wonder what goes on behind the scenes and what a health inspector might say,
The King sized bed was awesome and the pillows were great!
Your break fast and ironing facilities.
There is need to have more water in the fridge.
Good but not extensive breakfast. Comfortable bed and room
Poor courtesy bus service from airport
Good value for a quick over night stay with shuttle to the airport.
See above
Good location. Very nice pool. Pleasantly surprised by complimentary breakfast items. Very comfortable bed and nice clean room. All staff exceptional! Complimentary airport shuttle very nice touch.
Handle on shower broken but reported and was quickly attended.
The relative convenience to the airport and the friendly staff
Rooms which are directly opposite theain highway are dreadfully noisy all might with truck drivers frequently honking their horns in long blasts. Impossible to sleep for any length if time.
The staffs where good
Friendly Nice breakfast facilities & good food Bar was good The bed was huge & comfy
After 1 hour and 3 calls the shuttle hadn't turned up so we were told to get a taxi and they would refund us. They did this without any argument and we were very pleased. This was only a blip and we would definitely stay there again.
Excelente relación costo beneficio!
The beds were comfortable, and the hd television was a nice surprise
The rloroom was really good and the ac was perfect. Bathroom was really clean.
Breakfast was not what i seen in the pictures. Very disappointed
Clean room with a very comfortable bed. There was a microwave and small fridge in the room. Breakfast was good..eggs, oatmeal, cereal, fruit, coffee.
Front desk couldnt give us directions to hotel when we got lost in the dark.
All of it
Complimentary breakfast was not that great
Pick up at airport
No service to airport, cost us as much to get to Airport as it did for the Hotel. We where told shuttle would pick us up and take us back to Airport. No shuttle before 6am. Had we known this we would have stayed at a different Hotel. They should not deceive there cudtomers

Posted June 18, 2013 on AP on Fox
Georgetown forward Greg Whittington has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and it's not clear when he'll be able to play basketball. Georgetown coach John Thompson III says Tuesday that ''there is no specific timetable'' for Whittington's return. The 6-foot-8 Whittington played in only 13 games last season for the Hoyas before being suspended for academic reasons. He averaged 12.1 points and 7.0 rebounds. Says Thompson: ''Greg will return when he is 100 percent healthy. I feel for Greg because he's worked extremely hard to prepare for the coming season, on and off the court. I'm confident this is just another setback that in the end will make him even stronger.''

Maggie Thatcher: The Iron Lady who saved us from drab Post Office mobes
Re: Why Thatcher joined the Conservatives
>Yep exactly , so how about you open a can of STFU
I'd love to open a can of STFU, truly, but you see thanks to Maggie and her political descendants the last British manufacturer has gone: asset stripped, patents sold, plant and machinery exported and the work force on unemployment benefits.
Re: What's more depressing...
No. Most of us never met her. You are sooooooooo right. We've just had to live with the consequences of her.
Shurley shome mishtake?
Why Thatcher joined the Conservatives
The Observer: The New Review; 23/11/2012; pg15:
Nina Baldwin (1925 - 2012) Obit. Interview with Roger Baldwin:
"She was on fire-watch with Margaret Thatcher towards the end of the war and recalled asking her why she wanted to go into the Conservatives when they were much more intelligent in the Labour Party -- Thatcher said it was easier to get on in the Conservatives."
So, there you have it. We ended up with a PM who was only interested in her ambition.
Likewise Tony Blair became an MP based upon a single vote cast at his constituency selection committee (41-40 IIRC).
Food for thought....
> don't see why I should subsidize miners working a pointless job. Still, 30 years later, they're still on the news >moaning about how Thatcher ruined their lives
We're subsidising the banks. We're going to be subsidising them for a lot longer than 30 years to keep those fat cats.
The mines kep a very healthy mining tools industry going -- an industry that exported all ovet the world because British Coal (as was) spent bundles and bundles on R&D, all of which eventually led to exports of mining machinery, techniques and expertise.
>Get a new job, start a business, move towns, do something productive, but stop whinging about the only >PM who had the balls to stand up to you.
What world do you live in? Start what kind of buisness? There's been no real nvestment in training and education for decades. F.E. colleges no longer teach anything that isn't government approved -- funding is dependeant on the teaching being government approved; H.E. is just about in the same boat. Innovative and creative thinking isn't something you create from a spreadsheet mentality.
Start a business? How? Credit and investment has been cut off due to the need to recapitalise the banks; all that so-called quantative easing wasn't to make investment easier, it was to stop the banks from defaulting on their own debts.
Thatcher didn't stand up to the unions [on the picket lines] it was the ordinary bobbies [taken from off their beats]. An ironic collorary would be that the Police Federation is arguably the strongest union in the UK and there is no politician strong enough to take it on.
As for:
1. Fought to liberate the Falklands.
It was a war brought about by her government's stupidity. Goodness knows what the future is going to bring now that her political descendants have neutered this country's armed forces. Oh, btw, I am an ex-squaddy, so I think I might be better qualified than most commentards on this issue.
2. Crushed the unions, who were really asking for a whooping throughout the 70s.
Really? So the owners and management of companies of that era are entirely without any balme or fault?

BT spent fortunes on research! System X for example predated its privatisation by many a year. After privatisation and to this day it spends peanuts in comparison.

Scottish SF master Iain M Banks reveals he has less than a year to live
Am amazing writer and a very funy guy in real life. Once had the pleasure of a couple of hours in his company. Mr Banks has a savant, earthy mode of expression, which makes my own seem quite sponge-like in comparison lol. His writings reflect his tangental thoughts, his punkish sense of fun and the ability to hold contradictory opinions peacefully. Here's hoping that this year isn't his last.

Re: Groan...
In NZ they have a flat rate tax -- NO ALLOWANCES.
From memory, people got around this by having trust funds. It was amusing to be asked if I wanted to pay my rent in cash, via an envelope into the landlord's hand or via cheque to the trust fund... no prizes for guessing whic was cheaper.
Simplfy the taxation system and you will increase tax yield because it removes the (deliberate) inherent complexities and thus remove the wriggle room to find the loopholes.
The poor pay more tax as a proprotion of income -- direct and indirect taxes -- than the rich. Remove VAT "trading" options from companies, caused by the perverse fiddling of who did what, when and with whom in regard to perceived value added to goods and services. Change this to a fixed small rate applicable and payable to all the stages of the circulation and collection cycles. The rich use their VAT registration (their companies and businesses) to acquire goods and services and offset and transfer their liabilities to the end-payer (the real tax payer, those who are PAYE tax payers). Companies negotiate with HMRC about their taxes, particulalry VAT! Something Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms Bloggs cannot.
Dump the "dividend paid" and "commercial loan" tax exemptions and loopholes for shareholders and companies -- its become a way of fiddling income and should be treated the same as salaries and wages. A single flat rate system is the fairest and most easily administered.
In short, the only people/entities who suffer will be accountants and management consultancy companies (Goldman Sack's, et al anyone?).

Actually, not being part of the Apple core thing, I must give kudos where it is due to the assistant in that store. The sale had been made, yet went the extra mile to make sure the kid's phone screen was looked after. Usually in the UK you buy a screen protector and it's FOff time so the assistant can go back to lounging around.
And the kid putting it in the phone in the case -- without being told by a parent! Fme! can I adopt that kid, obviously cares about mum and dad's dwindling wallet stuffing.

Serena Williams sets WTA single-season prize money record
Serena Williams has set a single-season prize money record on the women's tour by earning $6,545,586 in 2009.
Williams now has career earnings approaching $30 million.
"It's incredible how much women's tennis has grown in the last few years and that the Tour has increased our prize money so significantly," Williams said. "We are very fortunate to have an opportunity to be so well rewarded for doing something we love."
This season Williams eclipsed the previous record of $5,429,586 set by Belgian Justine Henin in 2007.
Serena won the 2009 season-ending Championships as well as Australian Open and Wimbledon crowns this season.

Haricots Verts with Braised Fennel
Servings: 8-10
- 2 pounds haricots verts
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 large fennel bulbs, trimmed, cut into 1/2 inch-thick wedges with core attached
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Nutritional Information

- Cholesterol (mg) 0
- Carbohydrates (g) 10

- Total Sugars (g) 2
- Protein (g) 2
- Sodium (mg) 80
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Cook haricots verts in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain beans. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels; let cool. Trim stems and set beans aside. DO AHEAD: Beans can be cooked 1 day ahead. Wrap in paper towels and store airtight in refrigerator.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and add wine. Return to heat and cook until wine is almost completely evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Add thyme sprigs and 1 1/4 cups water. Cover and cook until fennel is tender (but not falling apart) and water is almost evaporated, 12-14 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast fennel seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Let cool. Coarsely grind in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle. Alternatively, place in a resealable freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy skillet. Set aside.
Add haricots verts to fennel, reduce heat to medium, and gently cook until beans are heated through. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer vegetables to a serving platter and scatter ground fennel seeds over.

It is hard to believe that the 2014 Listen To Your Mother season is behind us, and that the video release of 32 cities worth of shows is now live on YouTube. I was just at Blogher 2014 last week and was so grateful to help out at the Open Mic hosted by Ann Imig – it was this event four years ago that prompted me to apply to co-direct the first San Francisco show in 2012 with Kirsten. We thank all of you for coming along on this ride with us each year.
We are so grateful to our 2014 cast – each one of them not only talented storytellers but open-hearted, generous people. We feel lucky to know them and are proud to share the videos of each of their readings here. If you couldn't be at our show in May, here is the next best thing!
In the order they presented their words that night:
Christine Canty – "Composite Mothering – who ponders whether motherhood is in her future and decides perhaps it's the mothers who really need "mothering."
Thais Derich – "Mom CEO" – who delivers an unfiltered take on mothering boys and how priorities shift when we become parents.
Karen Lynch – "The Road To Kyra" – with a beautiful reminder that there is more than one road to motherhood.
Kim Thompson Steel – "Sliding Down Rainbows" – with a reminder to savor the magic of childhood.
Lisa Orta – "Listen To Your Mother" – about how to mother your child into resilient adulthood.
Steven Friedman – "Lies No More" – who mourns the loss of his relationship with his mother, even when it's complicated.
Risa Nye- "A Letter To My Grownup Daughter" – who reminds us that we never stop mothering, no matter how old our kids get.
Gina Perkins – "Harder" – who tells her story of unconditionally loving a spirited child.
Tracy Momaical – "Mama's Backpack of Guilt" – who reminds us that we're not alone shouldering the hilarious burdens of mothering.
Kirsten Patel – "East Meets West" – who shares that when we marry the loves of our lives, we marry their families too.
Angelisa Russo – "Caledonia" – who sings and speaks her way through the grief of a lost child.
Francie Low – "Cool For A Mom" – who shares that being cool is in the eye of the beholder. Or in the eyes of teenage sons.
Jessica O'Dwyer – "My Mother, The Rockette" – with a touching tribute to her mother who gave her the freedom to choose her own path in life.
And here are links to the videos of the other 32 cities! So many stories, we urge you to hear each and every one.

The New Hickey Freeman: Authentic American Luxury!
This quarter I'd like to focus on one of our iconic US manufacturers, Hickey Freeman, one of our most popular brands here at Wright & Simon. I will be quoting liberally from an article written by Karen Alberg Grossman which summarizes and describes the present and probable future of this well-known American brand. The article appears online at MRketplace and also in MR Magazine.
"Upscale retailers seeking an authentic American luxury clothing brand," writes Ms Grossman, "don't want to miss the newly reinvented Hickey Freeman Collection, housed in a renovated 57th street penthouse complete with antique copper crest from the original Hickey Freeman factory…" and she goes on to describe the decoration and amenities of this beautiful showroom.
You, our customers, will be interested in Ms Grossman's description of the new Hickey Freeman line of fine men's clothing: "But it's the clothing that takes center stage, familiar but modernized in the finest Italian fabrics, lightest weight canvases and hand-crafted luxury details (hand-turned collars, working buttonholes, horn buttons, etc.). Suit models include updated versions of Hickey's most popular styles. Best of all, retails for a full canvas Hickey Freeman suit range from $1,495-$1,995 (vs. $3,000 for many luxury Italian brands); most sport coats are $1,000-$1,500 (although we fell in love with a beautiful blue cashmere knit at $2,500!). There's also a hand-made bespoke collection (opening with super 180s) at $1,895-$2,995."
According to the article, Grano Retail Holdings bought the company in October 2013 and has since invested in extensive consumer research and marketing regarding the product. "We didn't even ask prices when we shopped the mills," says Arnold Brant Silverstone, president and chief creative director of Grano Luxury Men's Apparel Group, which includes other companies and has pending acquisitions. "We just went for the most beautiful fabrics we could find."
Ms Grossman's research for her article leads her to believe that Silverstone's venture in restoring the Hickey Freeman brand has a good shot at succeeding where other attempts to restore certain brands have not. Hickey Freeman was founded in 1899 and has been worn by luminaries from US presidents to members of the entertainment world such as the Rat Pack. Ms Grossman's expressed three reasons for Silverston's probable success at restoring Hickey Freeman: 1) Italian suit makers have ticketed prices of $3,000 and over, sell direct to consumers, and are concentrating on Asian, Russian and Mideastern markets instead of American retailers; 2) The recently modernized Hickey Freeman factory in Rochester is highly efficient but still retains its capacity for handwork; and 3) Mr. Silverstone a third-generation clothing maven, lives and breathes the suit business and genuinely cares about the 500 jobs that have been saved for families in Rochester. At the same time, he's managed to double the size of the Montreal-based Samuelsohn in just three years, without off-pricing or outlet retailing just to drive up volume.
Silverstone has the support of the trade industry press, and they believe he's going to be successful. As a betting man, I'm putting my money on Silverstone and I believe Hickey Freeman will be a strong, successful manufacturer, going forward.
Please stop in at Wright & Simon at your convenience, and we'll show you what we have in stock from Hickey Freeman and other fine American manufacturers.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has shuttered 70 Web sites accused of selling counterfeit goods.
Many of the sites closely resembled legitimate ones, according to an ICE statement. "It would be difficult for even the most discerning consumer to tell the difference." Some of the sites also had fake Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, which aim to show the sites use SSL encryption to protect sensitive financial and other information during an online transaction.
A banner on the sites states they have been seized by federal officials.
The sites were closed as part of Operation Copy Cat, part of a two-year-old anti-counterfeiting effort called Operation In Our Sites (IOS), which has seized a total of 839 domain names to date. After any seizure, interested individuals have a period of time to file a petition with a federal court, according to ICE; if no petition is filed, the domains become property of the U.S. government.
During the operation, law enforcement officers made undercover purchases of a range of products including baby carriers, sports jerseys, clothing, and jewelry. In most cases, the goods were shipped to the U.S. from abroad. If the copyright holders confirmed that the products were fake or otherwise illegal, seizure orders for the domain names were obtained from a federal judge, according to ICE.

Advisory firm Total Wealth Management and owner Jacob Cooper failed to tell clients that the Altus family of funds they were recommending was paying them and others at the firm revenue sharing fees, the SEC said in an April 15 complaint.
Todd Cipperman, managing principal at Cipperman Compliance Services said revenue sharing isn't illegal, but it might not be possible for a firm to disclose enough to convince examiners there is no conflict. And in a bonus lesson, Mr. Cipperman said firing a compliance consultant — which the firm did, according to the SEC — is a red flag that "something may be amiss."

Danger of distraction
Teen drivers face a variety of obstacles
When training teen drivers, Deep Run High School driver's education instructor Josh Aldrich uses a number of methods to demonstrate the dangers of distracted driving, including having them finding the switch for the lights or cruise control.
Inevitably, they swerve a bit.
"It kind of hits home," he said. "Then I say, 'Now think about texting.' That right there kind of sells it. Soon enough they're able to find lights and go straight."
Distracted driving is a significant enough issue for experienced drivers. Its potential impact on teen drivers who are just getting behind the wheel for the first time is even greater.
Between May 2002 and April 2012, there were a total of 20,234 accidents in Henrico County involving persons under the age of 18 in Henrico County, according to police Lt. Linda Toney. Of those, 16 drivers were involved in incidents with fatalities.
Should teen driving laws in the state be strengthened, or are there other preventative measures that can help reduce the number of accidents, injuries and deaths experienced by teen drivers?
Opinions from a number of officials, citizens and experts who spoke with the Citizen varied, though each one agreed that adults must do more to address distracted driving among teens.
'Teens believe they're invincible'
When teens in Virginia reach the age of 16 years and 3 months and have completed the necessary classroom and driving test requirements, they may receive a provisional driver's license, so named because of the restrictions in place until age 18.
Among states with graduated licensing programs, Virginia does not rank as the most restrictive, nor the most liberal. A new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, completed in conjunction with AAA and the Highway Loss Data Institute, concluded that if the best of the graduated licensing laws nationwide were implemented in Virginia, fatalities could be reduced by 37 percent and collisions by 14 percent.
Among the changes suggested was raising the licensing age to 17, the required driving practice hours from 45 to 65 hours, changing the number of permitted additional teen passengers from one to zero and setting a nightly curfew of 8 p.m.
"The issue has been studied for years and years because teens are at such a great risk – partly because teens believe they're invincible," said Martha Mitchell Meade, spokeswoman for AAA Mid-Atlantic. "We won't stop fighting for an ideal law until all the components are within the recommended guidelines."
The newest restrictive law was the electronics usage ban passed by the General Assembly in 2009, which Meade said was a great change, but not enough. Currently it is a secondary offense, which means a police officer must witness a teen committing some other violation before being able to pull the teen over.
For the past four years, state Sen. George Barker (D-Fairfax) has proposed a bill to change the law to make it a primary offense, meaning teen drivers could be pulled over immediately if a police officer witnessed them using electronic devices.
Each time, the bill has passed in the Senate but failed to get the necessary votes in the House of Delegates – primarily because of concerns about implementation and enforcement, Barker said.
As Varina High School's driver's education teacher, Tony Sorbello witnesses teens using cell phones every day.
"We really try to talk about cell phones and texting, but texting is not really in the curriculum," he said. "Distracted driving is – but not texting. That's a real problem."
Barker said that teens are 16 percent more likely than adults to be involved in an accident while on a cell phone. He will continue to propose the bill until he can get it passed, he said. In the meantime he said he stresses to teens the need to abstain from texting and other risky behavior.
"You don't want to be in a position where you have to live the rest of your life knowing that something you did that you knew would be illegal and was dangerous caused death and serious injury of another person," he said.
Parental influence
Barker and a variety of local and state citizens and officials who spoke with the Citizen agreed that distracted driving is the most important issue facing new drivers.
Not all agreed that the law needs to be changed, but they all said that it was necessary in the meantime to continue stressing the dangers of distracted driving, as well as promoting diligent parent involvement.
"Laws are great, because have consequences and they promote better decisions, but at the end of the day the number one person who should be driving training is not the commonwealth of Virginia, it's the parents," said Vanessa Wigand, principal specialist for driver's education at the Virginia Department of Education.
She stressed that curriculum was always changing, but that "family law" was the only thing that would make a real difference, because each child and family is different.
Currently in Henrico County, there is no mandatory session for parents and students to attend together before students receive their licenses, as there is in Northern Virginia's District 8. However, Henrico driver's education teachers do offer programs with the help of school student resource officers.
Sorbello, who teaches about 150 students each year (excluding night and summer school students) said that he offered extra credit to students who attended such a class, and about 50 percent of them did.
The turnout among Aldrich's Deep Run students was a bit higher – 65 percent – he said. Aldrich believes the parent-student presentation should be mandatory.
"What is most important is teaching parents what to look for and making parents feel comfortable about teaching their kids," he said. "It's a partnership."
Sorbello stressed that letting teenagers practice the full 45 hours was vital and that those hours provided sufficient training for students – as long as parents aren't fudging the totals when they sign off on their teens' forms.
"We know when we go out on the course [if the students haven't completed the necessary time]," he said. "It's your child who's suffering."
Duston Dunton, a 16-year-old rising junior at Deep Run, said that he felt well prepared as a driver.
"It's not hard to get to 45 hours, really," he said. "It helps a lot. My parents just let me drive. When I'm with them, they make me drive even when I don't want to."
Proactive approaches
Groups like YOVASO (Youth of Virginia Speak Out About Traffic Safety) work with high schools throughout Virginia by offering free programs and contests to encourage students to take responsibility for their driving habits. Varina High School placed third in the "Take Action, Don't Be a Distraction" spring campaign.
"We're trying to reach them before they have a tragedy," said YOVASO representative Haley Glynn. "We want them to be proactive and not retroactive."
Glynn has worked with Glen Allen High School PTSA president Helena Lythgoe to get students participate in some of the free education programs offered by YOVASO.
Lythgoe, who works for State Farm agent Ric Bergstrom, said that she had set extra family laws for her 19-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son and that she has always told her children stories of distracted driver accidents, hoping they would deter risky behavior.
"It would be interesting if every parent could be a claims representative for a day," she said.
Lythgoe said she hears about distracted driving accidents every week. Recently, she told her son about a call from the wife of a client.
"He had been on his motorcycle and been hit by a teenage driver who was adjusting his music on an iPod," Lythgoe said, noting that her own son often does the same thing. "I haven't gotten an update, but he was in pretty serious condition at the time."
Lythgoe and Bergstrom encourage parents to bring their teen drivers in for a talk about safe driving and communication, including what to do and say if an accident occurs. Students who complete the "Steer Clear" kit earn a 15 percent discount.
Tracking teen habits
At the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, researcher scientist Charlie Klauer and other scientists are performing and publishing research on teen driving habits after imbedding cameras and tracking equipment in the cars of teens. The first study monitored 42 novice drivers, and the current, more comprehensive study is monitoring 90 drivers.
One aspect that researchers analyzed specifically was whether behavior changed when teens were in the car with their parents versus when they drove with other teens or by themselves. The findings showed that teens are most risky behind the wheel when they are by themselves and the safest when they're with their parents.
"When they drive with their parents, their rates are very, very low – in fact, their rates are so low, their rates are identical to their parents' rates," Klauer said. "This tells us several things. Parents should be riding in the car with their teens as much as possible, even after they get their license."
Klauer said that she supported whole-heartedly the idea of making a parent-teen driver's education information session mandatory throughout the commonwealth. The VTTI research helps corroborate the graduate licensing laws, she said.
Between 2000 and 2011, a total of 1,525 people between the age of 16 and 20 died in vehicle accidents. Henrico County tied with Chesapeake as having the sixth-highest number, 37, in the commonwealth. Fairfax County had the highest number of teen deaths (91).
If Aldrich emphasizes one thing to his students it's that when they sit behind the wheel, they are not just responsible for themselves, but for the lives of those around them, he said.
Lythgoe and the other PTSA members are planning special education programs about distracted driving using real examples and bringing in people like Toney Lineberry and Chris Skinner, who have been affected by driving accidents.
"Being a teenager, you think it'll never happen to you," she said. "As a parent, I never wanted my kids to get their driver's license. You dread the day when they turn 15 and a half, but when they get older and are active you're kind of ready. But I don't know at what age that fear will stop. I don't. But with driving, practice makes perfect."
The new IIHS and HLDI study might help convince lawmakers to change the laws, Meade said. AAA continues to work with Barker and other lawmakers to get more restrictive laws passed, including a making texting while driving a primary offense.
"In order to get a law passed, they want to see where someone else has done it and whether it worked or not," Meade said. "We can say, 'Here's what's going to save lives, and once again, another study has shown this works.'"

Authentically Italian
Bella's feels – and tastes – like Italy should
Short Pump is known for its share of chain restaurants and strip malls, but diners looking for something more distinct can certainly find it without heading downtown or to nearby Charlottesville.
In fact, local husband-and-wife restaurateurs Valeria Bisenti and Doug Muir brought a taste of Charlottesville (and Italy) to Short Pump when they took a chance and opened Bella's second location in the same shopping strip as Wal-Mart and Peter Chang China Cafe. (Bella's original location is on Main Street in downtown Charlottesville.)
For a local Italian restaurant, Bella's is as "Mom and Pop" as its gets. Valeria is Mom, and Doug is Pop. Since its opening about six months ago, diners have been eating rich comfort foods and drinking Italian wines. > Read more.

Find the particular relay you want to test. Depending on the circuit it controls, the relay may be located under the dashboard or inside the engine compartment in a junction block.
How to Test a Car Relay
A car relay is a particular kind of remote-control switch. It is magnetically operated and is used to control electrical circuits from a distant point. It controls electrical components like fuel pumps, air conditioner motors and radiator fans. But relays use flexible mechanical contacts that wear or burn, effectively blocking current to the circuits they service. Fortunately, a car relay is easy to test. Troubleshoot any particular relay in your car and find out whether you actually need to replace it.
Things You'll Need
- High-impedance test light
- Ohmmeter
- 2 jumper wires
Turn the ignition switch to on to energize the particular circuit you are testing, if necessary.
Connect the alligator clip from a test light to any good ground on your vehicle. Probe the wire coming out of the relay and going to the component with the tip of the test light. If the bulb in the test light glows, there is voltage, and your relay is working properly.
Probe the wire or wires feeding voltage to the relay with the test light following the same procedure used on the previous step. If the light glows, there is incoming voltage. Otherwise, the relay is not receiving voltage. Check the voltage source.
Switch the ignition key off. Unplug the relay from its electrical connector, making sure not to break the locking tabs on the relay.
Identify the relay's power and control terminals. Some relays show a circuit diagram on top of the case to identify these terminals.
Check for continuity between the two power terminals using an ohmmeter. There should be no continuity. If there is continuity, replace the relay.
Connect a jumper wire between the battery positive terminal and one of the control circuit terminals on the relay. Connect the other control terminal to ground with another jumper wire. If you do not hear a click as you make the second connection, reverse the connections. If you still do not hear a click, replace the relay.
Connect the jumper wires as you did on the previous step. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between the two power terminals. If there is continuity, the relay is working properly. Otherwise, replace the relay.
- 1
Tips & Warnings
- Your vehicle service manual will show color codes to identify power and control circuit wires on any particular relay and will help you locate relays.
- You can buy a vehicle service manual at most auto parts stores or consult one for free at your local public library.
