I couldn�t help but feel the adrenaline rush kick in about an hour before my scheduled time to start! The tell tale signs were my stomach churning, my heart racing a bit and the urgency to get all kitted up and be ready when my start time approached.
With Ghostie in place on the pull tab of my jacket, music cued, bib pinned to my shirt and Garmin set I left at 8:01 GMT. You know you are in for an amazing event when you turn the corner and a rainbow greets you to the tune of U2s, �It�s A Beautiful Day!!�
I no sooner snapped a photo then the rain arrived. No turning back for a hat, I just kept going even through I knew I WOULD get more rain soaked! The first mile was along the main road and I looked forward to half mile further where I turn onto a side tree lined dirt track. Side stepping the puddles and rocks I pressed onward through my favourite part; the short downhill twisty bit. By now I had hit 2 miles and breathing was good and the rain was easing with a slight hint of sunshine.
Shortly ahead the track met back up with the main road and a quick left to the next side road just 200 yards ahead. This rural road took me to the half way point of the 5.89 miles and the sun continued shining. Just as I approached the long slow drag of my first uphill the song my �real� runner Maria had suggested for my playlist kicked on, �Hard� and it fit that moment. I thought of her out there on her uphill run and hoped I could mentally push her onward.
Mile 4 arrived and the uphill was steeper. Thinking of the crest soon to appear I just pushed to the top and the view of my village on the further hill. Just a few cyclists passed by quickly unaware that I was not just an ordinary runner; I was a Hood To Coast GHOST runner with a little over a mile remaining.
The houses are lovely along this country lane and I always enjoy taking in the view of their gardens. With today�s rain they were lush green and bursting with colourful flowers. I ignored the overhanging vines of blackberry bushes along the road and kept focused on the last 1.5 miles.
At approximately the mile to go mark I saw them�.my cheering squad, my lovely country style cheerleaders!! Ok.. no pom poms in their hands or megaphones, but they did their best to acknowledge me by cheering me on with their �cow Like� eyes!!
I was now shifting gears; I left this country lane and returned to the main road I had started on and retraced my steps UP the steep hill to my little village. Keeping my stride as even as I could I did a bit of side-step chi running . I again thought of Maria and her final steps as I climbed higher, passed the village Post Office, then the turn passed the little library, passed the row of houses to my finish line.
I stopped my watch at 1:17:02 for 5.89 miles. I am sure Maria had caught her breath by the time I arrived. I felt so good doing this and being a part of something greater with all of the other Ghosts and Coast runners! Well done to everyone! Simply Amazing!!
(Just an aside, as this was part of my marathon training run, I needed to run a full 8 miles. So after logging in my time, I continued up and around my area to complete my training run!)
Today marks my 4 Year Spark Anniversary!
I found SP through a post on a running site and was curious. I wanted to have support, information, guidance, encouragement, accountability and motivation to not just keep my running going, but help with the nutrition of it as well as drop some weight.
I have found all of that and more on this site. It took me a month or two to get the hang of things, but I worked through the guidance provided and now am continually amazed at the high level of the information available. (The picture I chose is the icon for the very first team I joined)
My life has changed over these four years by becoming healthier, more active, more dedicated to squeezing every bit of life I can get out of a day! I am constantly learning from all the great blogs, posts, personal experiences found here.
My 20 lb weight loss might not be as impressive as some on here who have lost hundreds of pounds, but to me it is monumental. I have been given so many tools to use and it's up to me to pick them up and like a sculpturer, chisel away and shape my life.
I'm celebrating today! I'm rejoicing today in who I am and what I've learned. I am thankful to all those at Sparkpeople for this site and their dedication. I am thankful to each and every person who has crossed my life's path here; for those who have left messages and part of themselves,and to those who have just stopped by and read my posts, blogs, or looked at my photo gallery. Together we make a WE, and WE are a powerful force!
It's a very Happy 4th!
Climbing a mountain isn't something everyone can do, or even want to do. I imagine it is difficult, time consuming, dangerous, and takes a huge amount of time preparing for. My nephew has climbed several mountains in the past couple of years and I know he has taken the necessary time preparing.
Marathon running is also something that not everyone can do or has the inclination to partake in. It is something that also is difficult, time consuming, can be dangerous, and takes a huge amount of preparation time. I know this to be a fact as I have run 7 marathons in 4 short years. I am now in the beginning stages of training for my eighth marathon on 21 November, Philadelphia.
I take time in my pre-marathon preparation to make a schedule of training runs on a paper calendar. It allows me to have an over view of the entire training time frame and plan races to test my progress through the weeks. This time the image of mountain climbing and my training crossed into one plan.
Just as a climb up a mountain has stages, my training has stages. There is a base camp in mountain climbing where the climbers aim to reach in the beginning of their ascent. My first four weeks of training are my "Base Camp" stage. It is where I am building my weekly distance from 15 miles up to 32. I have a 10K race to test my progress and acclimate me to the longer runs and 6 days of moderate consistent training.
During the next 5 weeks I move forward towards the secondary camp just as a climber moves higher up the mountain face. The climb gets more difficult, more testing more of a challenge. So has my training, My planned long runs are now double digit and my weekly mile total creeps upward from the 30mpw into the 40s. I test my endurance and stamina and speed by racing another 10K.
In order to reach the summit of the mountain from Secondary Camp, the climber needs to continue to acclimate to the higher altitude and take on additional equipment and their physical abilities and mental toughness is tested further. Thus it is in this4 week stage of my training. My longest of the long runs happen, the mid week marathon paced runs reach their highest, the speed sessions are consistent and the weekly miles crest just over 50. I will challenge myself with a half marathon race. I can see the goal that lies just 3 weeks beyond this point, the 26.2 miles of the marathon.
Unlike the mountain climber who once reaches the summit and the descends, I will gradually decrease my weekly miles but keep my fitness achieved on ascent to the summit by running consistently, running speed sessions and building the marathon paced runs to their highest. I will remain on that mountain top like being on a flat mountain top. I run along the top for a shorter distance, but keep to that level.
These three weeks before the marathon my miles will drop slighty leading up to Philadelphia and the final days are miles to just keep my legs turning over.
Then on 21 November, 2010 I will stand on the start line of my 8th marathon. I will stand at another base camp, I will climb another mountain, this time not over the course of 16 weeks, but I will put to asphalt what I have trained, sweated, ached and persevered to begin AND finish in a single 26.2 miles/42K. I will conquer my mountain, My Philadelphia Marathon.
I am an outside runner. I look forward to traversing the rural roads, footpaths and fields which cover this part of England. With the routes pre-planned on my trusty Ordnance Survey map I have explored areas new to me and ones I have committed to memory.
I wait all year for these next couple of weeks. While on my runs I have glanced with caring eyes to the thorny shrub branches which line the roads and paths. They are everywhere; Wild Blackberries. I watch in early spring as the bushes fill with leaves and their long tentacle like branches reach further out into my path. I then begin to notice the first of the white with yellow centred flowers. Some where the white is even tinged with shades of pink, as if to announce the colour of the fruit to appear for those who are patiently observing their formation.
Next the flowers have disappeared and I see the teasing green berry taking shape, the fruit of the flower that was. I notice the ripening progress occurring along various roads and paths and take note of where I think the first ripe ones will occur.
Then it�s something like a pot of simmering pop-corn. The green berries begin to turn a light pink, then darker and all of sudden the first one is black, and another, and another until handfuls of blackberries await picking.
Since my runs take me down so many berry lined areas I have a rotating order in my mind of which bushes to harvest first. That will begin in a week, but for now on my runs I stop to sample the first beckoning berries and enjoy the bountiful snack so abundantly provided.
To prepare myself for Marathon #8 training, starting 2 August, I took a look back at 2007 and the video I made after running my 3rd Marathon and first London. The pictures of my husband, our good friend, the expo, race morning, the elite runners, the aches, the crowds, the finish line, the elation, the medal, the pride! I remember it all and it brings home to me why I run marathons. I'll keep these images as I train for Philadelphia 2010. Enjoy!

Classification of secant defective manifolds near the extremal case
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Let be a nondegenerate irreducible closed subvariety of dimension over the field of complex numbers and let be its secant variety. is called `secant defective' if is strictly less than the expected dimension . In a 1993 paper, F.L. Zak showed that for a secant defective manifold it is necessary that and that the Veronese variety is the only boundary case. Recently R. Muñoz, J. C. Sierra, and L. E. Solá Conde classified secant defective varieties next to this extremal case.
In this paper, we will consider secant defective manifolds of dimension with for . First, we will prove that is an -manifold of type for by showing that the tangential behavior of is good enough to apply the Scorza lemma. Then we will completely describe the above manifolds by using the classification of conic-connected manifolds given by Ionescu and Russo. Our method generalizes previous results by Zak, and by Muñoz, Sierra, and Solá Conde.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Like he is on ice, Crosby could be key
Might be voice of reason at meeting
SIDNEY Crosby is ready for another kick at the can.
With the NHL and NHL Players' Association scheduled to hold a unique collective bargaining session this afternoon, the league's most recognizable player travelled to New York to make himself available for the exclusive meeting.
Crosby has been involved throughout the negotiations and could play an important role with the leaders of both sides scheduled to sit out today. The Penguins captain has emerged as a voice of reason during the lockout and would find himself sitting across from Pittsburgh owner Ron Burkle, among others, if the NHLPA decides to send him into the bargaining room.
It promises to be a unique setting, particularly with commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr on the sidelines. There was hope Monday that a new dynamic might produce some different results in negotiations.
"Ultimately, we are just trying to find some meeting format that can gain some traction," deputy commissioner Bill Daly said.
There should be plenty of urgency from both sides. Players have missed four paycheques because of the lockout and the NHLPA's executive board voted over the weekend to distribute a $10,000 stipend to each member.
Meantime, league owners will head into Wednesday's board of governors meeting facing a potential discussion about when the latest possible date should be to reach an agreement that would save a shortened season. There is also the strong possibility of more game cancellations by the end of the week.
The NHL and NHLPA took part in two unsuccessful days of meetings with U.S. federal mediators last week before Bettman floated the idea of removing himself and Fehr from talks. The merits of the idea were heavily debated by players and the NHLPA insisted on the need for a handful of staff and lawyers to be present before agreeing to it.
Despite that, it was far from universally accepted.
"I don't entirely agree with leaving the heads of negotiation out of this because they are paid to make a deal," Sabres goalie Ryan Miller told the Buffalo News on Monday. "But if it gets more owners involved then so be it."
Daly and Steve Fehr, the NHLPA's special counsel, are expected to be the highest-ranking officials in the room. The NHL will also be represented by six owners: Burkle, Mark Chipman (Winnipeg), Murray Edwards (Calgary), Larry Tanenbaum (Toronto), Jeff Vinik (Tampa Bay) and Jeremy Jacobs (Boston).
The NHLPA won't reveal its roster until today.
Crosby, Miller, Jonathan Toews, Marty St. Louis and Kevin Westgarth were among the players expected to be in New York.

May 30 (Bloomberg) -- The spread between the highest- and lowest-paid equity partners at the nation's biggest firms has grown too large, according to Steven J. Harper, an adjunct professor at Northwestern University School of Law and former partner at Chicago's Kirkland & Ellis. In recent decades, it's increased from 3 to 1 up to 10 to 1 or more, he tells Bloomberg Law's Sarah Kopit. It's been driven by a "lateral hiring frenzy" that has "destabilized the profession," with managing partners "fearful [that they'll] lose somebody with a big book of business to someone else," says Harper, who is the author of the new book The Lawyer Bubble.

The Mind Set Of A Brand
by Steve Smith on Feb 29, 10:30 AM
Mindset Media comes at behavioral targeting from a different direction and with a somewhat different aim from typical ad networks. Via intricate personality profiling, it promises to intercept online users whose "mindset" (personality traits) makes them most likely to consider particular brands and products. As co-founders Jim Meyer, CEO, and Sarah Welch, COO, explain, this approach does not require that an ad network know a user is already in-market for a product, just that she is the right type.

Making A Place For Placement
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 27, 1:15 PM
The growth of behavioral targeting has decisively shifted the focus of many online marketers from the paradigm of the page to one of consumer-based messaging. What's often been forgotten amid all the behavioral hoopla, Russ Fradin, CEO of Adify, explains, is that for brands the benefits of behavioral require not only targeting the right person -- but the right person in the right placement.

The Science Of Decisions
by Steve Smith on Feb 22, 2:30 PM
Understanding the psychology of purchase behaviors and segmenting online audiences accordingly is one of the growth areas for behavioral methods. But where is the best place to capture the behaviors that are most relevant to your company's goals? This week we explore yet another approach that tries to apply academic research to consumers. The two-year-old Decision Tactics method actually puts consumers into a product-specific decision matrix to discern the major purchasing segments for an item and each group's key purchase drivers. Co-founder Shlomo Ron explains how it worked recently for Gateway Computers.

Verticalizing BT
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 20, 2:30 PM
For all its growing technical sophistication, behavioral marketing has remained largely fixated and dependent on search and site browsing data, useful but ultimately relatively weak indicators of true purchase intent. The biggest challenge -- and opportunity -- ahead for the industry, is to more deeply understand, organize and leverage post-search behavior within specific verticals, Roy Shkedi, CEO of AlmondNet, explains.

The Psychology Of Buying
by Steve Smith on Feb 15, 11:31 AM
The recently launched 7 Billion People is an intriguing application to e-commerce of the real-world psychology behind buying behaviors. As CEO Mark Nagaitis tells us, his new Web analytics system tries to discern in a site's audience different "buying personalities" that marketers can talk with in very different ways.

Mapping The Sphere of Influence
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 13, 12:00 PM
Most behaviorally savvy marketers know full well that the "single-click theory" of consumer behavior, which hypothesizes that conversions are best attributed to the last click a consumer makes before purchase, is fundamentally flawed. Alan Osetek, Connexion.a's executive vice president, sales & marketing, discusses how marketers can move beyond the single-click model by mapping and measuring what he calls spheres of influence.

BT: Beyond Impressions
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 6, 1:30 PM
Behavioral targeting has widely succeeded in changing the rhetoric and terminology of marketers. Rare indeed is the self-respecting behavioral advertiser who doesn't speak in terms of having a one-to-one dialogue with customers. Yet, as Ryan Okum, president of StreetWise Concepts and Culture, explains, moving beyond the habits of the older impressions-based marketing paradigm requires more than talk. It demands the cultivation of a new skill set.

An Old Pro Gets Social
by Steve Smith on Feb 1, 3:15 PM
Until just last week, Rich Frankel was widely known in the behavioral targeting community as Yahoo's leading expert on the technology and senior director of product marketing. Newly appointed as COO of SocialMedia Networks, Frankel is moving his vast experience and knowledge into the social networking space, and so we asked him to reflect on how BT will work in social media applications the company helps developers build and deploy. Joining the discussion is Seth Goldstein, CEO of SocialMedia, who says that social networks are causing a demonstrable shift in online behaviors.

"Customized this with bright pink and yellow for my daughter's first birthday party - they turned out so spectacular. ONLY criticism is that the weight of the stickers is a bit thin... but used them as seals for her invitations and they perfectly coordinated with the address labels (same Fantastic First group, which I also customized). Happy customer!"
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"I bought these to label my daughter's birthday favors. I have not used them yet, but they are a well made product and I bought the matching invitation. They feel like good quality stickers and look beautiful."
"I wasn't sure how the chalkboard effect would come across on these sticker tags, but it looks great! We attached these to small bottles of bubble soap as party favors. A huge hit!"
"I've received this stickers in four days; although, I wasn't expecting them till a week or so. But love the shipping since it was fast. I'm going to use this as part of my daughter's 1st birthday favors and the quality and the way it looks is perfect!"

Asia Capital Reinsurance Chooses Revolution Analytics to Solve Big Data Challenges
Asia Capital Reinsurance Chooses Revolution Analytics to Solve Big Data Challenges
Leading Financial Services Company Analyzing Complex Data and Generating Business Insights with RevoDeployR and RevoScaleR
Revolution Analytics, the leading provider of commercial software and support for the popular open source R statistics language, today announced Asia Capital Reinsurance Group (ACR) has chosen RevoDeployR and RevoScaleR to manage its big data needs.
Headquartered in Singapore, ACR is the world's first independent reinsurance group with an exclusive focus on serving clients in the fast-growing pan-Asian region, extending from the Middle East, through China to Japan, and south to Australia and New Zealand. ACR provides clients with a combination of strong Asian dedicated capacity, global underwriting standards and expertise, as well as in-depth knowledge of the Asian insurance markets. Like many companies in the financial services sector, ACR needed a solution for managing the explosion of big data effectively. Specific challenges included transferring data between various applications and systems, and generating useful insights from the data that could be applied in real-world business contexts.
"Revolution's RevoDeployR and RevoScaleR software helps ACR handle Big Data without the high costs and hassles associated with traditional analytics," said Betrand Cheam, System Analyst at ACR. "We are impressed by Revolution's high quality code and parallel computing capability. In the world of financial services, that kind of ability translates into competitive advantage for ACR."
RevoDeployR and RevoScaleR are key packages in the Revolution R Enterprise platform, which bring high performance, productivity and enterprise enhancements to R -- with innovations in 'Big Data' analysis, data import and user experience to meet the higher demands of production business environments. One key feature of Revolution R Enterprise is an out-of-the-box integration interface between applications and systems with existing analytical scripts in R. With RevoDeploy R, ACR accesses a standardized collection of web services that integrates security, APIs, scripts and libraries for R into a single server. Additionally, the RevoScaleR framework allows ACR to process, visualize and model data sets in a fraction of the time of legacy products—without employing expensive or specialized hardware.
With Revolution Analytics, ACR is ready for fast and efficient multi-core processing of Big Data sets. "RevoDeployR provides a web service that is platform-independent, easy to use and a standard for integration," said Cheam. Since Revolution software represents the largest commercial distribution of the open-source R language, additional benefits include a large statistical library, availability of source code for peer review, and an active supporting community that improves and updates analytical scripts in R without downtime for business users.
"Financial service firms like Asia Capital Reinsurance need accurate, fast information, and Revolution R Enterprise is the most powerful tool available today that can address demands for the increasing size and speed of data," said Jeff Erhardt, COO of Revolution Analytics. "Asia Capital Reinsurance has made a worthwhile investment in predictive analytics that will drive the company's business decisions in the right direction."

262 Dealership Reviews
Sales (Used)
The review and rating is for Deron Kellar, the salesman that assisted me with the purchase of a used car on 10/30/14. I had been looking for a used vehicle when I found their listing on cars.com (same listing on Markkia.com). I went to the dealership to look at the car and take it on a test drive, with the intent of purchasing it if it fit the bill. Deron came out, introduced himself, and asked how he could help. Explained that I was there to see a specific car & wanted to go on a test drive. At no point did he pressure me to look at another car or aggressively push a Kia (they are great cars, I just did not want one). As a buyer, I really appreciated his approach and relaxed demeanor. I felt he was sincere and actually listened to what I said and was willing to work with me to complete the deal. Had it not been for Deron, I may have taken my business elsewhere and purchased a car at another dealership. I read bad and good reviews about the dealership before going, but decided to try them; I got lucky & got Deron. My advice to anyone buying a car from anywhere? Do your research! I have never been to a dealership where there were not questionable tactics and some sort of financing game. The odds are in favor of the house. If it comes down to it, be ready to do as Kenny says: "know when to walk away, know when to run."More

"Easy car buying experience with an AWESOME salesman!"
I never felt pressured and actually enjoyed working with our salesman Adam Lee. He was professional and funny to boot. He informed us of how the entire process would work when it came to signing the deal, and then took us out to our car to show us how everything worked. Dublin was also very detailed about owners manual and pointed out the important things we would need to know. This really was the first enjoyable car experience in my lifetime.More

"Mike Davis is an OUTSTANDING Sales Manager"
Right from the start, I got the sense that Mike Davis was a stand-up guy. He was clear, concise, friendly, honest and fair. What more could you ask of a sales manager?! He gave us a great deal, honored the terms of that deal despite some issues that arose during the financing phase of the process, and left me feeling great about the car I purchased. I highly recommend working with him and would do it again in a heartbeat! Our salesperson Bryce Young was also very good and a high level Finance Manager who resolved the issues created by another employee.More

"Service was very bad, dreadful, awful, terrible, frightful.."
On 6/25/2014, I contacted via email/internet, a car dealership about a 2006 Saturn VUE that I found. I was called very quickly about this car. I called my credit union about this car and got preapproved for financing. I received an email confirming a price on the car of $4,652.00. I sent a text to the salesperson letting him know that I would be coming to the dealership on Thursday, 6/26/2014 by 9:00 AM. I was ready to make a deal and get a new-to-me car. When I got to the dealership, I was quickly greeted and sat at a sales desk. The salesperson then started pulling up other vehicles for me to look at. When I told him I really wanted to see the VUE, he went to look for it. I sat with my 11 year old son in a car dealership for over 45 minutes waiting for my salesperson to find a car. But hey! The World Cup was on and the sales staff seemed very interested in the game. I was feeling forgotten about so I was getting ready to just leave. When that happened, he finally shows back up, but without the vehicle. He had a different vehicle; one that was $8,992.00. He lets me know that he can't find the VUE. He said it looks like it was sent to auction. I wait another 20 minutes while he tries to continue to "find" the car. I decide, fine, let me look at the car he's brought. This car a 2006 Sorrento has just been traded in. By "just traded" in, I mean it was dirty. Rearview mirror is broken, not even attached to the windshield. It hasn't been washed, hasn't gone through inspection, and hasn't even been detailed. I can still look past this. I can see the potential in this car. He asks if I have a car that I was looking to trade in. I do, or should say I did. So he looks it over. He then asks me for the keys to my car. I gave them to him thinking that someone from service was going to look over my car and see what its trade in value would be. That isn't what he did. He gave my car keys to the sales manager so that the sales manager could test drive my car. Why? Because the sales manager was interested in my car. For himself. For his own personal use. So, someone from the dealership test drove my car, without my permission. How do I know this? Because when I got back into my car, it was parked differently and in a different position. I don't recall giving them permission to drive my car. But the sales manager was really interested in my car, so I guess that is okay. Except it isn't. By a long shot. He comes back to me with a printed out sheet with the Sorrento information on it. I asked him for a breakdown of the fees, taxes, etc. He writes in black Sharpie $8,992.00 *Internet Special* plus $895.00 inspection fee, trade in allowance of $300.00. To me, this is not a breakdown. When I asked him for the breakdown of fees, any warranty information, taxes, license, etc., I was given on the back of the Sharpie page, handwritten the following: $9,887.00 - $300.00 + $2,000.00 (service contract) + $500.00 GAP + $174.75 Plates + $498.00 doc fee + $762.17 Tax giving me a grand total of $13,521.92 to finance. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I CAME IN LOOKING AT A CAR FOR $4,652.00. If I could put a picture of this on here, I would. I take all of this information with me so that I can look it over, run my budget and see if I can afford this car that I'm not really interested in. I let the salesperson know on 6/28/2014 via text that I am just going to keep looking for something because it really isn't something that I want. I get a call from a sales manager, Jacob. Jacob is the quintessential used car salesperson stereotype. He blames me for the abysmal customer service that I received the day before. He tells me that the car could have been sold 30 minutes before I got there. The website is "under construction." And then says to me, "It sounds like you just needed someone to vent to." Jacob, if you're reading this, you're a jerk. I wasn't serviced by your car dealership yesterday. I was almost taken advantage of. I was almost screwed over because your salesperson wanted a bigger commission. How dare you. I work very hard for my money too. When your paycheck is reflecting how well you service your customer, I'm guessing that yours is terrible because you know nothing of customer service. As a side note, the 2006 Saturn VUE that I went in there to look at, VIN Number: 5GZCZ33D76S814824 and Stock Number: SP3317 is still on their website. It is still showing as available for sale at the dealership as if 6/27/2014 at 8:37 PM Arizona Time. But it now has a price of $4,583.00. I don't know how this is possible since I was told that it was sent to auction and the website is "under construction." The care is blue, so maybe it is a Tardis. Who knows? It must be a magic VUE. **UPDATE: AS OF 7/10/2014 8:22 AM ARIZONA TIME, THIS CAR IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR SALE. IT IS NOW PRICED AT $4,494.00 IT MUST NOT HAVE DONE WELL AT AUCTION** On Saturday 6/28/2014, I get an email from Jack Belsanti. It is a form email but I thought, "Why not share with the Mark Kia's Sales Manager my crap-tastic experience?" I let him know to read my review of his dealership (and have since put this review EVERYWHERE I CAN) and basically shame on him for not servicing his customers and not holding his sales staff to a higher standard. He emailed me back letting me know that he was embarrassed and would be having a meeting with all those involved about expectations. I hope he had that meeting. I have this review on their Facebook page to which I got a comment from an Amy Brock. "Anytime you trade in a vehicle a manager will drive your vehicle just as you drive theirs.." Funny how that's all Amy got out of my review. It's also crazy funny how Amy's maiden name or other last name is Belsanti. I have since continued my search for the perfect car for me. I contacted my credit union and was contacted by Tod at Centennial Sales and Leasing. He knew of my parameters and didn't waste my time with cars that I wasn't interested in. I did not end up buying from this group, but he was amazing. He only called me when he had something for me. I never once felt like he was trying to upsell me into something I didn't want. If you have the time to have this group search for a car for you, DO IT. I found a dealership in North Scottsdale called Discover Pre-Owned Auto Sales of Scottsdale. I called and spoke with the owner (RIGHT??? What owners do you know that actually answer the phone?). Frank was beyond kind and helpful. He wanted so much to help me find a car that would work for me. The cars in his showroom are just gorgeous. He introduced me to Anthony and you couldn't ask for a better salesperson. Anthony showed me two cars. One of the cars was a hybrid and the other was a Sentra. Both of these cars are pristine for being used cars and they both have low miles for the price of the car. He spent a large portion of his morning to run some figures for me. He was even going to take my current car as a trade in. They also didn't drive my car. All they did was look at it. He asked me to please do some research on hybrid batteries because there is some cost involved to replace them. The hybrid was the more expensive car. In his own way, I think he was trying to talk me out of it because those batteries are expensive! I walked away from this dealership knowing that if I didn't find the car I really wanted, I was coming back to buy the Sentra. Frank and Anthony know how to service their customers. They treated me as if I was coming in to buy the most expensive car in their inventory. I'm sending them a thank you note even though I didn't buy from them. That is how great these people are. I did end up finding the car I wanted. I dealt with Bruce of Four Seasons Motor Company. This place is great. Customer service there was great. I caught Bruce at the end of another transaction and he found me the car I called about and it didn't take him 45 minutes to do so. I looked it over and it was exactly what I've been looking for. He didn't try to get me to look at more expensive cars. There were some there too. He took my car in trade and guess what? He didn't drive it either. Huh, I guess Amy is wrong. To sum up, my experience with Mark Kia of Scottsdale: Service was very bad, dreadful, awful, terrible, frightful, atrocious, disgraceful, deplorable, shameful, hopeless, lamentable, rotten crummy, appalling, pathetic, pitiful, woeful, useless, lousy, dire (pick your adjective and insert here). I will forever be telling ANYONE that I know to never go Mark Kia of Scottsdale or Mark Mitsubishi of Scottsdale. If I hadn't been careful, I would have gotten taken advantage of. Thank you so much for wasting almost three hours of my life and precious time as well as three hours of your time and God willing and the creek don't rise, countless possible sales. If you service your customer, you will have one for life. Congrats on your epic fail. How do you say, "BAIT AND SWITCH!?!?!?!"More

"Taken advantage of and cheated - "
Was looking for a vehicle that was large enough and reliable for family road trips. Purchased a used SUV from this dealer. Everything seemed good at first about the deal and the wife really wanted the vehicle they had. I was not allowed to have the "no hassle price" listed on the website and was threatened that if I didn't buy the vehicle for $1000 more than the price said that he had another buyer for it already. They will try to get you to pay for reconditioning and repairs for the vehicle even though it should have been taken care of already. Everything about this deal said not to do it, but since the vehicle was exactly what we were looking for we went through with it. The finance department was watching a football game during the signing, completely unprofessional. Upon receipt of our vehicle, they let us know that a lot attendant accidentally backed the car into something which ruined the bumper. They did replace it, but again, it was another sign to back out of the deal. Also, they would not let me take the car to an independent mechanic for a used car inspection (another sign that I should have backed out of the deal). Since the car was to be reconditioned for sale, I would have assumed they would have replaced the pressing issues it needed. The front brake rotors were warped, , the alignment was pulling hard to the left, and the vehicle needed all 4 tires. They never did replace the rotors because they claimed that was normal. They replaced 2 tires, but said the other 2 didn't need replacing even though they were right at the point of needing replacement. After driving the car home, there was horrible vibration. Found that the wheels/tires were not balanced properly (tons of weights on the wheels), I had Discount Tire correct this at my cost since Mark Kia could not get this right. I had also initially made a comment that the car was poorly cleaned up before being turned over to me. They asked if they wanted me to have them clean it again, and I declined. They went ahead and cleaned it anyways and threw away my personal belongings, I couldn't believe it. They have a third-party company clean their vehicles and could not get my stuff back since it was thrown away. Brought the car back again because they did not take care of the warped rotors, so they replaced the front brake pads instead of looking at the problem. They did however attempt to correct the alignment of the suspension, and it was set properly. The tires are most likely the culprit for the vehicle pulling to one side (again should have been replaced at time of sale). We left the vehicle with them for a third time for brake issues, they replaced the rear brake pads which again is not related to the front rotors being warped. The rear pads were installed incorrectly. I had also asked for a list of items they performed before it was sold to me, but I have yet to receive it, not even sure if the oil was changed when they sold it to me. They also couldn't tell me which air filter was changed (cabin or air?). After dropping the vehicle off with them so many times and the dealer avoiding the issue, I couldn't afford to take any more time off of work for them to not address the issue. I would not recommend anyone purchasing a vehicle from this company, let alone letting them service your vehicle when they couldn't correct an issue as important as brakes or as simple as properly balancing tires. 5 months into my vehicle ownership and less than 6,000 miles my engine has failed. They had someone call me to "feel out my attitude" and I haven't heard back from them since. You can see some of the other reviews here about the incompetent and incapable service department. Also the fact that they advertise a low price for their used vehicles and then try to get you to pay for the repairs so the car is road-worthy is a joke. I failed to see the signs and can only hope everyone who sees this takes this review seriously and save your time and money and buy from a reputable dealer who isn't Mark Kia and Mark Mitsubishi.More

"Hello, I am Melody Epperson. I purchased a 2013 Kia..."
Hello, I am Melody Epperson. I purchased a 2013 Kia Optima Ex on November 18. 2013. I worked with Ron Ellis and Dublin. They were great. I received a great year-end bargain on the Optima EX and I love it. Everyone at Mark Kia are kind people (including Jason Krupa) and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a Kia. I went back to get the rear spoiler put on it and also had my 3750 mile oil change and the the people at the service department are great also. I always enjoy going back. Everyone is so friendly. If I was to purchase another Kia down the road it would definitely be at Mark Kia. Ron Ellis and Dublin were absolutely great and fun to work with. Thanks for everything!!More

"I visited Mark Kia Scottsdale with my 16 year old son in..."
I visited Mark Kia Scottsdale with my 16 year old son in tow, neither of us with any car buying experience whatsoever. Needless to say I was very nervous that I would get taken advantage of by some slick car salesman. To my surprise and delight I was met at the front door by a polite and calm salesman named JUAN RODRIGUEZ who immediately picked up on my hesitation to even be there. My entire experience from the minute he introduced himself until I drove off the lot with an amazing used car for my son at a steal of a price was nothing short of FANTASTIC!!!! He answered a million and one questions that I had and kept working with us for 6 long hours until we found the perfect car for my son and he worked tirelessly to get me the price I wouldn't budge from at the payments I could afford. I thought It couldn't possibly get any better until I came in the next day to give him the title on my sons old truck and he informed me that he had some great news for me, they had resubmitted my loan application and got me and even lower interest rate at 4.3% !!!! I rely on customer service reviews for everything I purchase and I want to tell anyone that wants to purchase a new or used car and have a wonderful, fun, fair and stress free experience, GO SEE JUAN RODRIGUEZ AT MARK KIA SCOTTSDALE. sincerely Janet VaughnMore

"In mid August my wife decided that she wanted a new..."
In mid August my wife decided that she wanted a new Outlander Sport. We hopped on to auto trader and found the exact one she wanted. It was located in Glendale at Mark Mitsubishi. Since they had the lowest price I called and made sure the vehicle was indeed there and confirmed the price was indeed real. The young man (Ray I think) was quite polite and went to confirm the vehicle was there and the price was the price. I set an appointment for that weekend since I have two kids and live on Tempe mesa border and could not make it down that night. I called Ray back and asked him to please call me if that vehicle sells since we don't really live close. He agreed to do so. The next day my wife called the Scottsdale store since they were showing a similar model in stock and they are only about 15-20 minutes from us. My wife said she spoke to some fleet Manager (his name eludes me since I did not call) and asked if they would match the price of the one in Glendale. My wife explained that we are about halfway between Big Two and the Scottsdale store but found the listing in Glendale. Just to save the time of travel and not wait until the weekend she asked if they would match the price. The guy she spoke to asked for the number of the car in Glendale. He said it was actually in Scottsdale right now because they had an appointment on it. I should have taken this answer as a warning. According to my wife they Manger said "I can't blame you for not wanting to bring your family to Glendale. I would be afraid for my kids too". That comment just struck me as odd since they are the same company. The guy she spoke to asked for the number of the car in Glendale so he could verify pricing. He said it was actually in Scottsdale right now because they had an appointment on it. He did promise to match the price. I was a bit confused when my wife told me that because I just called the other location a day before and asked to be called if it was not there. I showed up the next day, Thursday, and we were greeted by a terrific young man full of energy. I told him that my wife is on her way with the kids and she spoke to someone last night about the Outlander Sport. I filled him in on color and pricing. He takes off for a few minutes and tells me that the Manger is not there but he found the notes and would help me out. I did not mind as long as he was up to date on the deal. I hate to negotiate on the lot and feel pressured. He assured me he was up to speed and he would pull the car up. About 15 minutes go by and he is still not back. By this point my family has met me at the store and getting excited for the car. The young man comes back and tells me he is having trouble finding the car. He invites me to walk with him and pick one I find. As we are walking I cannot find the one my wife wants. She hates blue and red, she just wanted white. So finally another person comes out with the young man who is helping us. He asked why we want a Mitsubishi. I told him my wife liked it. He then tries pushing a Kia on us. At first I was open to the idea of a different car. My wife started getting frustrated though a and just asked for the original White one we were there for. The new person to the conversation says "It might be on the roof. I don't know" No I do not know if they really have the cars on the roof or not or if he was just being sarcastic, but wife did not respond well and took the kids back to the car and let me do the looking while she waited. Now this is where things started getting weird(er). They guy starts telling me that we really should buy a KIA and if we tell his boss we saw it on some special web site (I forget what he said it was called) we could buy the car below invoice. Well this would be great if my wife wanted a KIA. The guy starts telling me how Mitsubishi is no longer going to be carried there soon and we should reconsider our choice. By this point I was frustrated because the car was missing. My wife had our two kids sitting in her watching a movie on a tablet. I just felt like I was duped. I had my wife call the Glendale store anonymously and ask to see if it was there. She did find out it was there still. I checked my phone and it showed on their site as well. I told the salespeople that the kids were hungry and we were calling it a night. Now I decided that no matter what I was not driving all the way to Glendale. If that store was like this store I could not handle it. Plus, I just could not fathom giving that company any of my hard earned money. Needles to say I called Big Two the next day and talked with someone. I gave him the price of Glendale. He looked it up online while I was on the phone. He said it isn't pretty but he would do it. I went down there on Friday by myself. Found the car in two minutes. I asked him to draw the numbers up before my wife came. They were exactly as promise. They added a charge for tint. Oh well. My wife came down and we were gone in 45 minutes in our new Outlander Sport.More

the description said 2"3 X 7' the rug was actually 9 feet long not 7 feet. Also the pattern repeated twice on the rug (light to dark) not like the picture which shows only one pattern. Other than that the rug is of good quality. We have several of that pattern. 6 foot round, 8' X 10', 2' X 3', all are of good quality and like coloration. We have wood floors and do need rug pads under them.
This quality rug is so plush and soft! I would say that the color is more ivory at the lighter end with silver/gray splashes throughout. It is a great look, but for those going for minimal, it is a bit louder than you might imagine from the pictures. Keep in mind the scale of the design.
I love this rug! It is so soft and luxurious under foot. We have a long, narrow galley style kitchen with an eating area at one end. We purchased the 6 ft. round rug first to go under our small, round dining table, and loved it so much I had to have the runner to go down the center of the galley-way. I love the dark to light theme in our kitchen with grey cabinets.
What can I say, everyone who has seen it, loves it!!! I have a contemporary home and it fits perfectly.!!!
Great style and quality but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend just because I think it was a little pricey
Well, it looks cool online. Looks worn and vintage, but in person its kind of cheap looking. The fibers of the rug are very loose almost a shag which is why it's so inexpensive. If the weave was significantly tighter it would be much better looking in person. I will keep in only because its under some bar stools so doesn't matter much.
i ordered this rug in the 8X10 as well and i love it. the color is more of a cream with shades of grey and the black is very black but i love it. very rich in color and soft. you can't beat it for the price!
