Hyundai Sonata vs Chevrolet Malibu vs Saturn Aura
The Sonata in my opinion is years of ahead when it comes to safety features Like Electronic Stability Control, even though the Malibu and Aura has standard traction control, stability control it not even available as option on the Malibu and Aura 4 cylinder models, the Sonata Has this safety system standard, The Automatic transmission Sonata GLS 4 cylinder starts at 19545 including freight, before incentives, the Sonata is is about $450 cheaper than Malibu LS model, it is also $850 cheaper than the Aura, Both offer great warranty powertrain warranties, The Hyundai beats both of them with it comes to the basic warranty which is 5 years or 60,000 miles, the GM products comes with a Industry standard 3 year or 36,000 mile basic warranty, the roadside assistance warranty on the Hyundai is 5 years unlimited miles, GM has 5 years or 100,000 which is still very good. The GM advantages are the transferable 5 year or 100,000 miles power-train warranty which transfers to the next owner if they decide to sell i or give it away in a couple of years, an example if you have 25,000 miles on the car in two years the next owner gets 75,000 miles or 3 years, In the Sonata you would get 3 years or 35,000 miles, The Sonata 10 year power-train warranty is only available to first owner only, In my opinion it would be best to buy the Sonata brand new plus you get the 10 years or 100,000 miles power-train warranty.
All cars that i have discussed are good choices it is all about what you want.

drwilsc Posts: 140I wonder how many people would actually WANT to keep the Hyundai 10 years...
The GM cars offer On Star, really a great safety feature. The Aura XR does have ESC standard.
According to Edmunds, the V6 Sonata would be looking the the XR's tail lights: 0-60 7.4 for the Sonata vs. 6.4 for the XR.
Saturn has been offering incentives on the Aura for some time now, minimizing or negating the Sonata's price advantage. -
flc2006 Posts: 81My point is that Sonata is great value, in my opinion the standard electronic stability control will help you avoid accidents,I am comparing 4 cylinder models The Sonata GLs, Malibu LS and Aura XE, it did not bash Gm i am talking about weakness from a selling stand point on all three models.
phaetondriver Posts: 175You say safety comes first with the Sonata, and I say it is also first with the Saturn Aura.
My Aura has Electronic stability control, ABS on 4 disc brakes, Traction Control, and 8 Air bags: two up front, two on each side over the windows, and one in each front seat (outside edge of the seat backs) to protect the rib cage from side impacts.
Does the Sonata have all of the same important protection devices?
One big reason I bought the Aura was it's performance, but the big number two was all the safety devices and their level of technical sophistication.
I liked some of the Hyundai cars, but none had the performance I want, otherwise they look pretty good. -

1. The "two" side curtain air bags on each side are actually one large curtain on each side, giving you six airbags total in the Aura (source--Saturn's own website information on the Aura)
2. The Sonata has all those plus Active Head Restraints for protection in rear collisions (source: http://hyundaiusa.com/vehicle/sonata/safety/safety.aspx)
Have a nice day! -

phaetondriver Posts: 175So the Sonata has the ribcage air bags in the front seats too.
Great, I didn't know that. I was told that was a Saturn only thing. Those lying salesmen.
I personally don't buy a car because it has been Ralph Nadered to the nth degree. Fact is I have built my own car and it doesn't have seat belts. No bumpers, No airbags, certainly no 4-banger under the hood. It does have 4 doors.
Does 0-60 in 5 seconds and gives other motorists whiplash. :shades: -

flc2006 Posts: 81The Sonata 3.3 V6 and 2.4 4cylinder scored very well on the consumer reports test, plus the current sonata has been reconmended for two years, the Saturn Aura XR was given a score of 70, the Sonata V6 had of score of 76, the 4cylinder Sonata was 74, The 2007 Aura XE V6 had a score of 62. The Hyundai name is a good one in my opinion, GM cars are alright.
csandste Posts: 1,866I have an 05 Malibu Maxx and my wife drives an 07 Optima. The Optima's platform is closer to the Elantra but it shares a power train with the Sonata.
1. The Optima has a quieter engine than the Maxx, however I like the 3.5 ohv v-6. Compared to Hyunkia, the Maxx has a far less expensive maintenance schedule due to its OLM. With the Optima (or Sonata), I've got to stick to 3000 mile oil changes for the severe cycle in order to keep the 100K warranty in place. Thankfully the new Hyunkia/Chrysler-Mitsu (sort of) engine doesn't have a timing belt. Replacing that on my 01 Elantra was expensive.
2. Because of the electric steering on the 'Bu, the Optima is a better handling car. It has 17 inch Michelins. Better handling means rougher riding and much more expensive tires. Once you get used to the electric steering it's not that bad however (like lots of 04-06 'Bu buyers I've had to replace the steering column-- is the rack next?). The electric steering (na in 2007+) really helps in the mileage department. The Maxx gets slightly better gas mileage than my Optima-- which is still breaking in (Hyunkia engines are notoriously slowly improve mileage).
3. The Optima has a much more attractive electroluminescent instrument panel than the 'Bu, Saturn or Hyundai for that matter. However I prefer the Maxx in the comfort department. I think the Sonata is more comfortable than the Optima, unlike the last generation they're not at all the same car.
4. I recently rented an HHR and liked the four cylinder engine which got better mileage than the V6 Maxx or the Optima. Even though I like the 3.5 six, I've got to say that I think Chevy and Saturn are wise to ramp up four cylinder production in 08.
5. GM cars (I assume Saturn as well as Chevy) have much better thought out drivers information centers. For some inexplicable reason Kia doesn't include a MPG computer. I don't think the Sonata has two trip meters: business trips and MPG computation anyone? I think some of these short comings will be corrected, at least in the Optima, in 08. I was really impressed with the HHR's DIC, including two mpg comps, tire pressure (I assume all GM cars have it in 2007+?).
I'm sorry I didn't drive the Saturn. It seemed pleasant when I sat in it, but I was able to get an Optima with appearance group and leather for sixteen thousand, the same as my Maxx LS. Don't think I could get a Saturn for that money at least when I made the purchase.
My Hyundais and Kias have been slightly more reliable than my recent Chevy's but I'm still happy with the Maxx despite laying out a thousand for the steering column. On the other hand, I had to pay about $800 for a sixty thousand mile check on my Elantra. With no timing belt, I'd expect the Optima to cost less.
Up until my last experience I would have put GM dealers ahead of Hyunkia (I haven't had my Optima back to the dealer and had some real sleaze issues with my Elantra). Since my Chevy dealer has moved into new haunts they seem more agressive in pushing services and I had to fight my way out of there to keep several 100K major items from being performed at 40,000. That plus all of the pushed injection cleanings, etc.
Styling is subjective. I think both the Optima and Sonata are attractive cars but less distinctive than their predecessors. I don't like the Malibu sedan but (apart from the front clip), do kind of like the rear of my Maxx. I think the Saturn is one of the better looking cars out there (especially the exterior). Haven't seen the new 'Bu yet, but am a bit disturbed by the c-pillar and rear clip. Looks a bit mid-nineties Diamante. I'm sure detail is much improved over the present car, however.
If forced to choose one, I'd probably take my Maxx over the Optima because of maintenance, comfort and utility (give me a large hatch, PLEASE!)
On balance, I suspect that both the Sonata and the GM cars are fairly well matched. I think many of the comments on earlier posts are a bit strident. I'm glad that everyone seems to like their cars, however. -
steelerman Posts: 36I have not driven either of the other cars yet. The '08 Malibu isn't out yet (the car I was waiting for) and I would not consider buying any non-American cars. My dad worked for GM for 30 years so I get a big discount. So that leaves my decision with the Malibu or the Aura. I drove the Aura a week ago and was very impressed with everything about it. I ended up getting an '07 Aura XR loaded for $22.8K plus ttl. It looks great, drives great, has great performance, and inexpensive. My co-worker bought a Lexus recently and she keeps saying, "My Lexus doesn't have heated seats", My Lexus doesn't have XM Radio or On Star", "My Lexus doesn't have remote start", etc... She also thinks they look a lot a like too - well they are both the same color!
Bottom line: I am glad I didn't wait for the Malibu and I look for excuses to drive my new Aura XR. -
colloquor Posts: 482As with any car's warranty, but especially with either Hyundai's or Kia's, perform the 3K oil changes yourself using an OEM filter, keep your receipts, and document your work on their website or in a file folder. If you do this, all is well with their warranty coverage. You do not have to have the work done at the dealer to maintain the warranty. You can save boatloads of money by following their severe service schedule, but by doing most of the work yourself. As to Hyundai specifically, this is exactly why their Owner's Manuals have such a large section devoted to Do-It-Yourself or Self-Performed Maintenance.
phaetondriver Posts: 175I am a bit ignorant when it comes to certain aspects of these cars. I really don't know where the Hyundai cars are manufactured.
I know my Saturn came from the Fairfax assembly plan in Kansas City Kansas. The chassis comes form Opel in Germany and the engine comes from the Cadillac.
I am really not familiar with the Hyundai cars other than seeing a lot of them and I really like the Azera Limited. Very similar features to my Aura, A little more money and a little less performance and handling, but very nice. -
joe97 Posts: 2,248That Azera Limited you mentioned has more features than your Aura (i.e. power rear sunshade, eight airbags, auto-wipers), has more peformance and handles, well, both aren't handling experts but more than adequate on both.
The reason why Azera has a higher price range is because it doesn't compete directly with the Aura, the Sonata does.
By the way, I am really digging the interior on the 09 Sonata facelift. That is one area of flaw from most critics and Hyundai responded very well. The latest pics of the exterior has me convinced this should be a successful facelift. Looking forward to seeing the North American spec (at the Detroit auto show, along with the Geensis/BH RWD luxury sedan), which I have been told should vary somewhat from the S. Korean spec but not by a lot. -
phaetondriver Posts: 175I realize now that the Azera is more of a luxury sedan.
Horse power and weight are almost identical to the Aura XR.
It's only a blink slower to 60 MPH
I get 30 MPG on the high way I don't know how well the Azera will do with 0.2 more liters in the DOHC V-6. What ever it is it is acceptable I'm sure.
It must have a bit more hip room and leg room than my XR too.
I am going to watch this one very closely for the next year or so. Might have to put one in my driveway.

Our strategy
Address complex natural resource and climate change adaptation issues, with a focus on increasing resiliency in the face of drought and other external shocks. Improve health in rural communities vulnerable to malnutrition and waterborne disease and help farmers and business owners improve their livelihoods.
The context
Ethiopia is Africa's most populous nation, and although the economy have been steadily growing, the vast majority of Ethiopia remains impoverished. More than 83 percent of the population lives in rural areas vulnerable to droughts caused by climate change as well as economic instability and conflict spillover from neighboring Somalia and South Sudan.
Our work
- Health: Treating malnourished children and pregnant mothers with mobile health units and bringing nutrition counseling to rural areas
- Agriculture & Food: Improving crop yields and income generation of pastoral and farming households
- Water: Building reservoirs and improving wells in drought-prone communities
- Economic opportunity: Supporting pastoralists and small business owners through partnerships with local savings and credit associations

Ethiopia: Saving and succeeding January 23, 2011
Within Mercy Corps' PROSPER program, the Savings and Credit Cooperative project brings much confidence to women in the Konso district of Ethiopia. Once a woman has saved a small amount of money, she is able to join the savings co-op and become eligible to apply for small business loans.
Ethiopia: Reading, finally January 22, 2011
They sit in the shade and practice writing for one hour each day, for five days a week. This is usually done in the morning, well before their daily chores begin. While they do this, their older children take care of the younger ones in order to support their mother's education.

Broan-NuTone®, the leading manufacturer of residential ventilation products, has crowned the overall winner of the 2013 ULTRA Pro Challenge – a nationwide competition among contractors to install an ULTRA™ Ventilation Fan in the fastest time. The top eight contractors from across the country battled against one another at the 2014 International Builders' Show in Las Vegas for the title of "ULTRA Pro" and the grand prize, a 2014 Ford F-150 pick-up truck. Jared Stork with RTJ Electric, Fairbury, Ill., completed the Challenge in a mere four minutes and 14 seconds and was declared the nationwide winner. "We developed the ULTRA Fan to make contractors' lives easier — plain and simple," says Richard Palmersheim, group vice president, marketing, Broan-NuTone. "We knew the fans were going to save time upfront, but participants of the ULTRA Pro Challenge far exceeded our expectations for quick installation. The final times were astonishing." The remaining seven finalists who competed in the Challenge were Burton Morris, Hyannis, Mass., Jeremy Johnson, Danbury, Conn., Dennis Tetzloff, Anaheim, Calif., Ricardo Mercado, Escondido, Calif., Jim Mitchell, Folsom, Pa., Joe Lareau, Las Vegas and Noe Lopez, Carpinteria, Calif. Danny Lipford, host of "Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford," emceed the final event. "It was an honor to be a part of the ULTRA Pro Challenge and to announce the final winner," Lipford said. "It's nice to know that now there is a product out there that does it all; the ULTRA Fan saves time, money and stress. What more could you ask for?" Broan-NuTone is hosting the ULTRA Pro Challenge again this year. The 2014 tour includes around 120 events nationwide, doubling the locations from 2013. A complete list of 2014 Challenge locations is posted under Tour Schedule.

Shopping Tips
The United States uses an astonishing 100 million tons of paper product a year. Though we recycled about 71 percent of the office paper we used in 2008, much of that is still not making it back into the new paper we're buying, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Paper made in the US is split evenly between three sources: recycled fiber, whole trees and other plants, and wood chips and scraps from sawmills— each contribute about 33 percent to our paper mix.
The Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), a well-respected certification body for sustainable forest management, says that though environmentalists have long been focused on increasing the recycled content in paper, good management for tree farms and forests for wood production used in paper manufacturing is more important for the long-term sustainability of forest resources.
Consumer demand for recycled products has also helped drive a shift in the paper-making industry towards raw materials with varying quantities of recycled content. But there is a limit on the number of times paper can be recycled, which helps to explain why we will never be count on 100 percent recycled paper. Every time paper is recycled, the fibers get shorter. After being recycled five to seven times, the fibers become too short to bond into new paper, according to EPA.
When shopping for responsible paper, look for the following labels, some of which may appear together on paper products:
- Post-consumer waste or PCW: This label means that the product contains pulp from paper once used by consumers. A single sheet of paper may contain new fibers as well as fibers that have already been recycled several times.
- Pre-consumer recycled: And this refers to pulp made from scraps left over from the papermaking process as well as post-consumer content. The "% Recycled" label represents the amount of both post- and pre-consumer recycled content.
- FSC-certified: FSC guarantees that the pulp used to make paper originates from well-managed forests with intact, healthy ecosystems. All FSC-certified products have passed through the FSC "chain-of-custody" from the FSC-certified forest, to a paper manufacturer, merchant, and finally printer who have FSC certification.
- The Green Seal Certified: label is awarded by a nonprofit that rigorously evaluates paper production with standards set for PCW content as well as inking, bleaching and other processes.
- Processed chlorine-free or PCF: PCF is a label developed by the Chlorine Free Products Association, is for paper made with some part recycled feedstock. PCF indicates that chlorine or chlorinated compounds were used to rebleach the product and the product came from a mill in good environmental standing. Additionally, PCF-labeled products must be 30 percent PCW.
- Totally chlorine-free (TCF):. The TCF label is also from CFPA, for paper made with virgin (non-recycled) pulp, is unbleached or processed without the use of chlorine or chlorine derivatives. Least desirable of these is ECF, or elemental chlorine free, which is applied to paper bleached with chlorine derivatives that reduce, but don't eliminate, dioxin emissions.
- Tree-free:This means that the paper was made from kenaf, hemp, bamboo, agricultural refuse, old money, old clothing and ground junk mail, among other non-tree sources. Though generally more expensive than tree-pulp paper, these alternative renewable fibers are increasingly in demand and costs may help come down over time.

The Top 10 Daybeds
Designers Jean-Louis Deniot and Mary McDonald consider the many virtues of this perennial classic
By Laura Regensdorf
A certain glamour accompanies the daybed and its many iterations, including the chaise longue and recamier. (The latter even takes its name from the alluring socialite reclining in a Jacques-Louis David painting.) Sized for one, the daybed implies ample leisure time as well as spaceafter all, its yet another spot to stretch out, beyond the sofa and bed. A daybed represents the good life, says designer Jean-Louis Deniot. Its about being relaxed in company. With its strong horizontal lines, it can break up the monotony of a living room, he adds. Its one more ingredient you can inject into a decor to avoid the hotel-lobby look.
For interior decorator Mary McDonald, the pieces laid-back vibe is complemented by its versatility. A contemporary-style daybed can connect two sitting areas: Because it usually has no back, people can sit on either side. And where space is tight, a plush one can multitask, she says, as the daybed transitions into a guest bed at night.

Sarasota City Commissioner Terry Turner usually doesn't engender hugs and kisses for the way he approaches issues and interacts on the dais with his fellow commissioners. But give him this: There is almost always substance over style.
Turner, the Ph.D. economist, has taken the lead on the commission to try to awaken taxpayers and commissioners to the reality that, on its present course, the city is headed over a fiscal cliff, right along side the U.S. government.
The city's cliff isn't nearly as deep as that of the nation's. Nor is it just a few months away. But the specter of going over this cliff, nonetheless, should be alarming to every city taxpayer — businesses and individuals alike.
As Turner told members of the City Coalition of Neighborhood Associations two Saturdays ago, the city of Sarasota is on track to rack up a $20 million general-fund deficit by fiscal 2022. This year's deficit is $3 million, or roughly seven times less than what city Finance Director Chris Lyons is forecasting.
Take a look at the graphic above. Lyons did projections that demonstrate what is likely to happen to city expenses and revenues over the next decade.
These forecasts aren't just smoke. They're real. And if you attended the CCNA meeting, you heard Turner. There are no ifs, ands or buts — city taxes will have to rise.
But that's not all. Turner also flashed a slide that spelled out five options to address this real and growing deficit:
• Implement recently approved police-pension reductions.
• Increase property taxes.
• Additional cuts in healthcare and pension benefits.
• Do things differently.
• Increase city population 20% (by 10,000).
He estimates each of these steps would generate between $3 million to $5 million.
If Sarasota had an elected-CEO mayor, he could begin building coalitions to do what must be done.
+ Elected mayor: Speak out
Speaking of a CEO mayors, the Sarasota City Commission is expected Monday to discuss Commissioner Paul Caragiulo's proposed charter amendment to create an elected-CEO mayor form of government. It's still a work in progress, he says, subject to citizen input and modifications. But he is hoping to have the idea vetted enough to be placed on the city's March ballot.
Caragiulo is likely to attempt in the afternoon session (starting at 2:30 p.m.) to have the item moved to the commission's Monday night session, which will begin at 6 p.m. at City Hall.
Hopefully this time around, a lot of citizen comment will be welcomed — and encouraged.

- Years & years of city managers & five little mayors got us here. Maybe we need one leader elected as a mayor, not a parade of ceremony MC's.
- 2.
- There is never enough space to truly explain to the Taxpayer how Government Pensions work, as there are some variations to some.
But one item is certain, the Public Safety employees {POLICE & FIRE} are at a great disadvantage…By law, they cannot strike…Their only avenue is to point out discrepancies to the City regarding low pay and safety issues. Other than trying to negotiate their concerns, the Police & Fire Departments or Public Safety Unions, have no power, especially regarding how the City Pensions operate.
But the City of Sarasota simply makes false promises…then blames the employees.
The City of Sarasota…for the past 40 + years…The Evolution of the Tactics of the City is always the same…Basically a 30 year Conspiracy of STALL TACTICS ,the City appoints their negotiators to meet with the Public Safety Representatives…
The Goal is to offer the least amount of actual money from the City Coffers for any increases in Salaries…The City's ultimate tactic, to avoid fair salaries, is to offer a substitute, that being a New Benefit or to Increase certain Benefits…the prime example being Healthcare Benefits…or offer a better Retirement System {Pensions}
As the years go by {and decades}…and the low employee wages become an issue …the City Negotiators, in response, will offer some increase in Pension Plans, all to avoid that immediate issue of Fair Salary increases for the employees.
The City Goal in this long term tactic is simple…make Promises, and every year or so, remind employees that "current funds are short"…but then the City reminds the employees of the prior City Promises of good Healthcare & good Pension Benefits the employees will have in Retirement…Here's the secret…the City Staff knows full well that those negotiators & those Commissioners, will be replaced every few years…and be "long gone" when the City's Promises comes due.
This tactic has lasted for almost 30 years, but now employees are starting to retire, requiring the City to start having to pay for those Promises…
The City, over those 30-40 years did not always invest their promised share to the Pension plan…But the employees always paid their required 8% deduction from their paychecks over those many years. The Employees kept their Promise…the City of Sarasota, just when their Promises start to come due, doesn't want to pay their share…so the City decides they want a "DO-OVER".
The City Employees have always stood by their Promises & Agreements…while the City has decided to Ignore their Agreements…and then, to top it off, the City sits back, distorts the facts and make the Public think it is the Employees & Retiree's fault…that the City failed to pay their share and also failed to keep their word.
Shame on the City of Sarasota

Order Information
This is an inspirational and deeply moving story of a proud Alaska Indian family struggling to survive in two worlds. Sam and Louise Harper and their ten children make a soul-grinding transition into a modern white-dominated society where they face bigotry, poverty, and illness. Yet, Louise remains in touch with centuries-old traditions of healing, honoring nature's spirits, and a belief that the spirits of all Athabascans one day will return to the headquarters of the Yukon River.
"Cold River Spirits is told with wit and skill, showing the humor and joy as well as the sorrow of a family's struggle to cross the divide between cultures." --Tony Hillerman, author of
"Harper-Haines portrays her predecessors like characters in a novel rich with flaws, strengths, and human frailities." --Juneau Empire
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born in Sitka, Alaska, of Koyukon Athabascan and French-Dutch descent, Jan Harper-Haines began gathering stories about her Athbascan mother and grandmother in 1990. The author earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Alaska, where her mother, Flora Jane Harper, was the first Native graduate in 1935. She lives in the San Francisco area, where she continues to write.

The Miss Tennessee USA pageant is the official preliminary to the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, a Donald Trump and NBC Universal joint venture.
The father of the 24-year-old children's case manager in Nashville said he is "excited and very proud" of his daughter for accomplishing what she has in her life.
"Brandy is a good girl," said Whaley who is planning to attend the event over the weekend. "She's my only child. She graduated college a few years ago and she wants to go back to school to work on her master's. So getting involved in the pageant is one way to secure a scholarship if she can place in the top three of four contestants this weekend."
Whaley said if his daughter wins he will rent a place in Cleveland and throw a party for family and friends to celebrate his daughter's victory. Brandy, who graduated from Oakwood College, volunteers in her Nashville community, enjoys singing, acting, swimming, bringing people together and making people laugh.
One of her goals is to inspire low-income and underprivileged youths to have confidence in themselves and pursue their dreams.
"They do not have to be victims of their environment or circumstances," Brandy said. "With the right motivation and direction, they can do something positive with their lives."

Barking instructions | Soccer dogs feature in 'dog culture' magazine
The three-legged Border collie mix Clover smiles on the cover of Bark 37 (July/August 2006). Clover lost one of her legs when hit by a car at six months of age, but was later adopted from a San Francisco pet-rescue group.
Berkeley, California | We could not include everything in our article on dogs and soccer in the current issue of Bark, the "modern dog culture magazine" founded in the Bay Area in 1997. In April we reached Jim McNichol, former right back for Torquay United, in his current job as proprietor of the Exeter Inn pub in Ashburton, Devon. Shortly after picking up the phone, he knew exactly why we were calling.
"I remember everything," he said of the match in May 1987, at home to Crewe, that became a turning point in club history. Police dog Bryn, now known as the "dog that saved Torquay," bit McNichol on the leg close to the end of the game with Torquay trailing 1–2. The time that it took for McNichol to get treatment—McNichol later needed 17 stitches and still has a scab—was added to the regulation 90 minutes, during which Torquay scored to avoid a drop from the Football League. McNichol recalls:
I've never seen [a replay], because the game wasn't on TV or anything. I was keeping the ball in play, and the dog I guess thought I was running toward the policeman, his handler. … There was a big crowd and the supporters were getting a bit fractious. So they started to bring in police around the ground. I don't know if you know the ground at Torquay, but it's quite small. … So it was not a customary occasion to have the police.
Bryn, a German shepherd, is now stuffed and mounted in the Torquay United board room. McNichol is justifiably troubled that people only remember the dog incident but not that he scored Torquay's first goal on that day.
Of course we could not mention every animal-on-pitch incident. On another Global Game page, we refer to the dogs meandering across the field during the 2002 "other final" between Bhutan and Montserrat (see our interview with the director of the documentary film The Other Final). The antics of the Highbury squirrel, nicknamed Squirrel Regis, during Arsenal's Champions League semifinal against Villareal last season already have earned a place in animal and sports lore.

In the Bark article we also concentrate on the exploits of Pickles, praised for his uncovering of the previously stolen Jules Rimet trophy before the 1966 World Cup finals. But we do not mention the sad end, that in the following year Pickles strangled on his own lead while chasing a cat, according to owner David Corbett. We had thought little of Pickles's brief film career—he appeared in The Spy with a Cold Nose, in a supporting role—but his (or his handler's) choice of vehicles appears to have been well-made. The film, catching the Cold War spirit, features a Soviet minister accepting an English bulldog as a diplomatic offering. The bulldog carries a microphone implant, however, hence the humorous film title. It was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1966 as best English-language foreign film.
We have many personal associations between dogs and soccer. I still remember the interval of a 2001 Women's United Soccer Association semifinal in Atlanta. The halftime show featured Frisbee-catching dogs. With Atlanta trailing Philadelphia 0–2, Beat coach Tom Stone made a substitution, bringing Chinese international Sun Wen off the bench to play as striker. She scored on a spot kick to help lead Atlanta back to a 3–2 extra-time victory, and I have always thought that watching these dogs during her warm-up helped calm her for the task at hand.
- Former Belgian international goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff, 54, will appear in net in a four-on-four Belgium-Netherlands match featuring boxers. A Romanian artist has trained the dogs for the Antwerp Winter Circus (see 7 Dec 07).
- We thank Socster.com—an excellent site containing a database of pickup games in the United States, as well as in Australia, Canada, Singapore, Trinidad and Tobago, and the UK—for the link to this post, as well as for leading us to the mother lode of soccer-dog photos and videos. Who knew there were so many talented snouts about?
Perhaps the dog lover's favorite footballer should be Belgian striker Gilles de Bilde. In September 2006, the animal-rights activist sat out a match for Belgian side Willebroek in order to mourn his dog's death.

Reviewed by Automobile Magazine on 1/31/2013
The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen continues on relatively unchanged from the previous model year, even though the Jetta sedan was redesigned for the 2011 model. While some may want the Jetta SportWagen to be upgraded, one complaint about the new Jetta Sedan was the change in chassis that accompanied the redesign. The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen continues to be built on the same chassis as the Volkswagen Golf, and acts as the link between the Golf and the Tiguan in the Volkswagen lineup.
There are two different engines and three trim lines to choose from for the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. The S and SE models are powered by a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that runs on regular gas, while the TDI model is equipped with a diesel 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. With seating for up to five passengers, and a good sized cargo area, the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen provides an alternative for those who want to get away from the crossover SUV models.
For the launch of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, very little has changed. In fact, it is relatively the same as the 2012 model, except for the following:
The exterior of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen remains unchanged from previous years' models. It has a much more rounder look when it is compared to the newly redesigned Jetta sedan, and it continues to be built on the Golf chassis instead of the new chassis used for the sedan. The entry-level S model of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is fitted with 16-inch steel wheels, while the SE and TDI have 16-inch alloy wheels as standard. The alloy wheels are available as an option for the base model. A 17-inch alloy wheel package can be added to the SE and TDI trim lines, as can a panoramic sunroof. All models are fitted with roof rails to increase cargo capacity beyond that found in the spacious cargo area in the interior.
The 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen can seat up to five passengers across two rows of seats. The front seats of all models are heated and have a power-adjustable backrest. The rear seats are comprised of a 60/40-split folding bench that includes a center pass-through. Seating is upholstered in the base model, and covered with a leatherette vinyl in the SE and TDI models.
Standard features in all models of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen include keyless entry, full-power accessories, cruise control, air-conditioning, an adjustable front armrest, a trip computer, and Bluetooth connectivity. The eight-speaker audio system of the base model is upgraded to a ten-speaker system with a touchscreen interface, HD radio, and an iPod connection in the SE and TDI models. A navigation system is available as an option in the TDI model of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen.
Standard safety equipment for all three models of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen includes anti-lock disc brakes, stability and traction control, active front-seat head restraints, a tire pressure monitoring system, front side-impact airbags, and full-length side-curtain airbags.
The S and SE models of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen are equipped with a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that provides 170 horsepower (hp) and 177 lb-ft of torque. The S model is fitted with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, while the SE has a six-speed automatic transmission as standard, which is optional for the S model. The EPA gas ratings for the S and SE are 24/33 mpg city/highway with the manual transmission and 24/31 mpg city/highway with the automatic.
The TDI model has a turbocharged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder diesel engine. It is coupled with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, while a six-speed automated manual transmission is available as an option. The powertrain provides 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, and has an EPA fuel economy of 30/42 mpg city/highway with the manual and 29/39 mpg city/highway with the automated manual transmission.
Driving the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen falls somewhere between a sport sedan and a crossover SUV. The steering is not as precise as the sport sedan and the body roll is significantly worse, but the lower center of gravity and handling are significantly better than a crossover SUV. All models provide a quiet and comfortable ride, but the TDI has a much greater range, and is slightly noisier, than then the regular gas-powered models.

Sterling silver Vanitas Certainty necklace
Material: Sterling Silver
Brand: Cast of Vices
Origin: United States
From pills and cigarette butts to baggies of indeterminate utility, Cast of Vices' edgy men's jewelry is "born out of a desire to create artifacts out of our vices," as the brand so puts it. Why immortalize a cockroach or snuffed-out Parliament cigarette in fine materials such as .925 sterling silver, semi-precious stones, and 14k gold? To celebrate the beauty inherent in objects and substances with less-than-noble histories, natch. Cast of Vices' darkly humorous Xanax necklace, Coming or Going leather hospital bracelet, pill-shaped Ups & Downs rings, and other designs are painstakingly crafted in the USA using the lost wax process, then packaged in prescription bottles emblazoned with the brand's logo. Call it self-medication for your sense of style.

You don't have to be in the produce industry to know what a big deal nuts have become. If you've watched even a little TV, you've seen Psy, Snoop Dogg, Dennis Rodman or some other celebrity hawking pistachios.
Unfortunately, nuts have also gotten the attention of thieves. That will happen when you have products that in some cases have almost tripled in price in the past few years, said Carl Eidsath, technical support director of the Folsom-based California Walnut Board.
Some of those thieves aren't exactly beginners.
"Now that tree nuts are so valuable, people have become more sophisticated," Eidsath said. "It's almost like the mafia."
It started last year, Eidsath said. Thieves hacked into brokers' computers and stole IDs and other information that made them look like legitimate truckers.
Using that information, they forged documents, drove trucks to nut packers, conned their way in and drove away with loads, Eidsath said.
"At $7 a pound, if you lose 42,000 pounds (the size of a typical truckload), that really adds up."
Such crimes occurred six times at the most in 2012, Eidsath said. There have been three more this year.
They haven't been the only kind of theft of valuable California product. In early October, thieves broke through a fence at Escalon, Calif.-based GoldRiver Orchards and made off with an estimated 63.5 tons of raw walnuts worth about $400,000, Eidsath said.
In that case, thieves hooked three tractors up to harvest wagons, where the untreated nuts were heaped. The nuts were recovered not long after in an adjacent county, but the thieves weren't caught, Eidsath said.
There have been thefts of raw product before, but none of that magnitude.
"It's the largest scale I've ever heard of," Eidsath said. "There are thefts where a single pickup comes in and they shovel as much off the ground as they can."
Perpetrators of those crimes, including the big heist at GoldRiver, are usually thought to be the work of locals, Eidsath said.
However, the more sophisticated kind of theft, where thieves hack into computers and fool shippers into believing they're legitimate truckers, could be the work of Eastern European criminals, Los Angeles police told Eidsath and other members of a joint industry task force.
The task force, made up of members of California walnut, pistachio and almond marketing boards and one shipper who was the victim of a theft, was launched in October to find ways to protect the industry.

So...I am not too familiar with the South. Am sorry to say have not spent much time traveling the southern part of our nation. This is not to say I haven't been south at all...have had quick glimpses of North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and others over the years.
Truth be told the most of the time I've spent in the South has been in New Orleans visiting with best of friend FF. I've spent a lot of time New Orleans and love it. Because of my glamorous visits to my friend's fabulous mansion in New Orleans, I think I think that all Southerners lead a genteel life and live in mansions or in grand estates.
Could my deductive reasoning here be flawed? You tell me. The South = New Orleans = I've only seen grand mansions on St. Charles Avenue when I am in New Orleans = so all Southerners live in grand mansions! Tah dah. Is this correct? A+B=G. That's the way I rationalize things in my life. For example, when I'm shopping, I use the same type of reasoning. Cute black dress = I've seen many cute black dresses in the Prada store = the only place that has cute black dresses is the Prada store because I've seen cute black dresses there = I must buy a black dress from Prada. See how it works? Makes sense? Right? (Rhetorical...don't answer). I think we took a whole section on reasoning in law school...clearly I must have had an itsy bit of trouble with that course...hmmm...
Anyhoooo...to try to justify my faulty reasoning...I went and found another grand mansion in the South. This time outside of Atlanta. So there...more grand estates in the south. See?
This one is almost 18,000 square feet on over 20 acres of land. 6 bedrooms, 9 baths, a pool, guest house, right on a lake too. Hmmm...must get to the South more often to see more grand mansions!
Oh did I mention the price tag of $19.9 million for this traditional Georgian style brick house (large house)? Take a look at some Southern charm!
Love the color on the library walls...I call this color Philadelphia blue because I've seen it throughout the historic buildings there. (above) |
I think I love the parquet floors in the foyer and the herringbone wood floors in the hallway the most. Then comes the color of that library! I also think that bath is quite nice.
Does this Southerner charm you? Would you take this house or leave it? What do you like? What might you change? Do tell!
Happy Tuesday! (Happy back to school!)

by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

Accident black spots are areas or crossings where several severe accidents have occurred in the past. A number of definitions are used in different countries, but in general a location is regarded a black spot when more than six severe accidents occurred in the past 3 years. We are reporting those black spots to ensure that drivers watch out when driving through those areas. A warning sign can be selected to make drivers aware that they are approaching this location.
