2006 BMW X5 3.0i
ProsBMW is the ultimate driving machine. ConsMaintenance after the 4 year/80,000 km worry-free warranty will be expensive.
Amazing Suv But Wish It Could Be Bigger. — Pros: The heated steering wheel is amazing in the winter even when you have gloves on. The panoramic sunroof is a great addition as well. It brings in so much more light into the vehicle, and the rear passengers can enjoy the sunroof too. I like how the Hockey Edition package included the Executive Package as well. The xenon headlights swivel and come to level when you first start-up the vehicle. The 3.0 L I6 engine is very powerful for being the smallest one offered for the X5 range (I've often found myself braking to slow down because I didn't realize how fast I was going). BMW's 4 year/80,000 km worry-free maintenance is heaven-sent. Everytime the BMW had to get something checked up or fixed, it was free. Since this BMW is based on the 5-series sedan platform, it drives like a much more refined sedan than SUV. There is minimal body-lean in cornering which is great for an SUV. Cons: The interior dashboard and console come straight from the previous 5-series generation. The current generation 5-series includes iDrive with a revamped interior, so I wonder why that interior didn't carry over until the 2nd generation X5 (2007 - present). That interior looks outdated, in fact. The "premium" sound system didn't sound so premium, but it was pretty good. Overall, this SUV is segment-leading. I only wish the plans for the X7 went through, because this SUV is only a mid-size. I would really much prefer a full-size SUV, but you do really get a lot of "sport-car" in this one. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

2006 BMW X5 3.0i
Prosclassy sexy design, dual exhaust, drives like a dream Consabsolutely nothing
Ultimate Driving Machine — Surprisingly good gas mileage, excellent acceleration, sleek design inside and out, very spacious both front and back seats, soft supple leather and woodgrain throughout, easy to use navigation system, BMW no cost maintenance nice bonus, truly the ultimate driving machine. |
2006 BMW X5 3.0i
ProsExcellent ride, suspension, large gas tank, very spacious, large panaoramic sun/moon roof, luv the bluetooth ConsCD in rear, navigation system not easy/intuitive.
Bmw X5 - The Ultimate Driving Machine — I just purchased the BMW X5 last year. It brought a huge smile to my face when I went to go pick it up. The SUV serves its purpose. I've transported people, supplies, luggage, and I've even off-roaded with this vehicle, and it has proven to be worth its salt while maintaining style and image. I also chose the option of having heated seats and this has retained some good friendships for me in the winter. The panaramic sunroof is huge and is the largest I've seen in any vehicle. Bluetooth has been so helpful with handsfree. Basically, I'm loving my car... |
2006 BMW X5 3.0i
ProsBeautiful exterior and interior design, roomy, powerful, lots of amenities ConsThe only negative I ever experienced was that the battery is located in the back, underneath the spare tire. This makes the cost of replacing the battery higher, and you should definitely have all your service work done at a BMW service center.
Best Car I've Ever Owned — The 2006 BMW X5 has by far been the best car I've ever owned. It is so powerful, yet luxurious. We purchased a 2010 Cadillac SRX and the BMW X5 is still the preferable car for us to drive. It is a beautiful machine. It has so many attractive ammentiies, from heated seats and steering wheel, to a vast panaramic moon roof. The back seats have privacy shades that were great for blocking the sun. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2006 BMW X5 4.8is
ProsLooks are sleek and more sporty than other SAV's. Great power, comfort seats that are heated (front/back), power seats in the rear, 6 disc CD changer, towing package, N2 in the tires. ConsRepair , maintenance, and fuel cost.
I Would Buy Another One At Anytime. — This car has great power and handling. Good safety feel. Love the heated seats and the full moonroof is great. I like that it is already prepped for long trips with the roof bars and a full size matching BMW roof box along with the towing package. Only things that aren't so great is the maintenance and repair costs and BMWs only use premium fuel. This car lives up to the BMW quality and sportiness. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2006 BMW X5 3.0i
ProsGreat looking vehicle with smooth ride and very comfortable. ConsOnly uses premium gas and expensive repairs.
Love My Suv+ — The fact that it only uses premium gas and it is very sensitive even with premium gas. Best to trade these vehicles in before the warranty runs out unless you have the money to make repairs. A very comfortable vehicle for long trips and I cant hear any road noise even at higher speeds. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2006 BMW X5 3.0i
ProsVery reliable, quality vehicle, a lot of features, great handling in the snow ConsExpensive to repair and fill the tank. Also BMW's can't have car starters because their security systems are too high tech.
Great Overall — See above, love the huge sunroof, GPS, power everything, drives amazing in the snow! Decent trunk worked well for a family and our belongings. Has heated seats and steering wheel which are nice in the winter. I love it and definitely recommend it. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2006 BMW X5 3.0i
ProsBaller ConsGet the V8
Get The V8 — Excellent braking and handling, throttle response and acceleration adequate, needed fuel pump mods to get acceleration comparable to larger engine. No repairs needed but electronics are temperamental and parts expensive. Interior and exterior are beautiful. Cost of ownership is relatively expensive, but it is fun. |
2006 BMW X5 3.0i
Prosevery thing about this car is awesome/great in gas Consdoes not have the third seat road
2006 BMW X5 3.0i
ProsGreat family car! Handles great and a fun SUV to drive! ConsOlder model
Great Family Car! Also Fun To Drive! — This car is a great reliable family car. For an SUV it is fun to drive and extremely responsive! Interior is extremely sharp and the seats are comfortable. Great for long drives and commutes. Safety features are top of the line! Primary Use: Family transportation |

Quoted from Jane NHG,Good question. I wondered about. Just the small dose of DHEA helps though. Do you think I'm taking too many supplements? J
Quoted from Jane I'm going to buy a blood pressure cuff. I have to admit I was pretty freaked out and argumentative. My PCP doesn't know anything about BTD/GTD and when I said I bought most of the supplements from an ND, she was skeptical. I didn't bother arguing with her but went home and did my own research on the DHEA which she didn't even mention. I think that may be part of the problem. Should I get a water pill and try that?
Quoted from Jane I did walk up the stairs but then I waited for at least a half hour in the waiting room. The longer I waited, the more nervous I got. .
Quoted from paul clucas Water pills do have a prescripted-for-life reputation. I am taking one, and am trying to get off it.Home blood pressure monitors can be totally wrong; you should take it to the pharmacy and calibrate it against the machine there. I have never used a pharmacy machine (my biceps is 16 inches), but I get measured once a month by my GP, once he has found where he put the large cuff.

Some of the leaves on my hydrangeas are light green with darker green veins. I keep thinking I did something wrong with fertilizer this year. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Donna, where on the plant are the leaves? Lower leaves turning yellow could be a nitrogen deficiency - which doesn't usually happen in soil of average fertility whether you fertilize or not. And it's a 'not' here, I top dress with compost every year then don't do anything else for hydrangeas other than water when needed. If top leaves are turning light green or yellowish with dark green veins its usually chlorosis, low iron uptake caused by soil with too high PH. So, where are you seeing the lighter leaves? |

What You Can Expect

Named for its brilliant red sandstone, this park is one of the most beautiful areas surrounding Las Vegas and features more than 2,000 jagged cliffs overlooking a verdant valley.
Then, turn toward the quaint town of Blue Diamond, cross over the Sloan Mine, and travel over the southern tip of the city before landing.
45-Minute Flight:
On the 45-minute biplane flight, you'll fly the same route as above until you hit Lake Mead National Recreation Area. As you veer toward the south side of the city, get a great view of the Las Vegas Strip, with a beautiful backdrop of Red Rock State Park and Mt Charleston in the distance, and then land back at the airport.

I have an iPod touch, 4G, and I haven't downloaded any songs in the last few months.

Is Tuscany, as some coldhearted forecasters would have it, on its way to being "over," like Provence and the Hamptons?Although we wouldn't go that far, we are crazy for Umbria, which has all the allure (and then some) of its more starstruck neighbor, minus the attitude. Etruscan sites, medieval hill towns of stone the color of flax, ravishing Renaissance frescoes, a famously reductionist cuisine, and a tapestry of valleys, lakes, and forests—all are on the menu in Umbria, the green and contentedly landlocked region that composer Gian Carlo Menotti praises for its "sunny austerity." And that's not even counting the lodgings. Umbria has perhaps the highest concentration of original hotels, inns, and bed-and-breakfasts in Italy. Check in now before, Tuscany-style, the whole world does.
Like any deeply rural landscape you encounter for the first time, the Upper Tiber Valley can seem like the end of the world. I approached it from the north in a rather delirious state, having just made a killing at the Prada outlet in Montevarchi. At Arezzo I pulled over to do the math: only 40 miles to the hamlet of Ronti and my destination, Palazzo Terranova. Word had filtered down about a redoubtable, obsessive Englishwoman who had converted a never-completed early-18th-century villa into a sumptuous inn with just eight rooms. I stay in hotels for a living, so, while I'm not blasé, my motor is not easily raced. I was dying to try out Terranova.
But as I drove and drove, and then drove some more, Ronti threatened never to appear. The mountain switchbacks stopped being charming and became merely annoying. The scarcity of farmhouses in the green, silent countryside devolved from an amazement to a menace. And even the most detailed map of Umbria got me only so far. (Terranova's all about discretion—there are no signs directing you to the hotel.) The late-afternoon light had the same transparent quality that van Gogh admired in Provence, but what good would it do me if I ran out of gas?
Any self-satisfaction I felt in finally pulling up to Terranova was buried under sweat, a coat of dust from the last steep stretch up a potholed dirt road, and rage—as it turned out, although the inn was supposed to have faxed me directions, they'd forgotten. But at last I got it: even with directions, reaching the palazzo is meant to be a heroic adventure, as designed by its owner, Sarah Townsend.
"The anxiety of the journey makes arriving at our paradiso even more wondrous," she exclaimed. Indeed, every inch of Terranova's sensational 1,800-foot elevation is calculated to heighten the spiraling expectancy you feel while scaling it.
Once there, you become a principal player in Townsend's exquisite little Anglo-Italian operetta about life at a luxury inn on an Umbrian hilltop. Her genius lies in playing the profound rusticity of the heaven-meets-earth setting against every weapon in the five-star hotelier's arsenal: refinement, grandeur, sophistication, and style, from the studiously mismatched Ginori breakfast china to the snowy hand-crocheted bedcovers, from room colors out of Piero della Francesca frescoes to pastoral-chic bouquets that mingle branches of bay with pom-poms of starry agapanthus. In a place that maxes out at just 20 guests, there is a full-time chef—that's a chef, not a cook—and a local woman whose main job is to make bread and pasta. Service is more than professional. It's nuanced, imaginative, human. Townsend goes out of her way to ensure that you have her cell phone number, and the laundry form has a space for "spelling out any special washing instructions." Is there such a thing as housekeeping with emotion?If so, it is found at Palazzo Terranova.
Like other backwaters that seemed impossibly isolated when they were new to me, Terranova's pocket of Umbria, after just a couple of days, began to feel not all that remote. Twenty minutes away is Città di Castello, a historic town stuffed with trattorias, gelaterie, enoteche, salumerie, food shops specializing in regional truffle and porcini products, antiques dealers, and boutiques selling household linens, majolica, and artisanal wrought-iron furniture. While only an idiot would pass up a day trip to such a vibrant destination, it comes at a price: leaving the nest of Sarah Townsend, who says, "I just like people to be happy and comfortable—in my space."

Product Fulfillment and Payment Processing
Product Fulfillment payment processing can be supported as part of an e-Commerce solution for Consumer orders, whereas it is typically done with Purchase Orders for Wholesale orders.
We fully integrate with payment processing companies that handle consumer level order payments. These front-end processors, as they are referred to, have connections that allow for "Card Not Present" transactions, settlement services, and supply authorizations. Think of them as a replacement for Point of Sale units such as those credit card machines you swipe your card in at a store. On the web, they are called "Card Not Present" front-end processors. Some of the more recognizable payment processing providers are Authorize.net, FirstData, Google Checkout, and PayPal.
How payment processing works:
First you would open a Merchant Account with a Bank of your choice. Secondly, you would connect your Merchant Account with a platform such as Authorize.net. When an order is placed on your online store, it attempts to collect payment.
The payment processing operation only takes a few seconds at most. During those few seconds, the processor will check all the details received by forwarding them onto the card association or the cards issuing bank in order to be verified. Additionally, they will take a series of measures to prevent fraudulent activities. Other elements are taken into consideration as well such as:
- credit card country of issue
- AVS – Address Verification System – Comparing the address provided to the address of record for the card holder
- previous payment history – within credit limit
- CVV code – Card Verification Value – designed to provide additional security to further validate the a credit card number provided.
These are normally utilized in order to gauge the probability of a transaction's approval. Once the verification details have been confirmed by the payment processing company, the information is then relayed back to the payment portal and then on to the merchant. At that point, the transaction is completed by the merchant. If the bank or card association denies the verification, the information is sent to the merchant via the payment processor and the transaction will be declined by that merchant.
Check Processing
Nowadays, we rarely see a fulfillment program utilize checks as a form of payment, yet it still exists, especially for program with an older clientele. The norm remains with credit cards transactions and merchant accounts for online payment. We securely receive these checks, handle them appropriately, enter the corresponding fulfillment orders manually into our system, collate the checks, and send deposit slips to your bank.
Payment Processing for Returns
For product fulfillment programs where we sent batch settlement requests to your processors, we can easily action a refund. For programs where we not a party to it, we can only send you notices of refunds which someone on your end must then action. We will work with you to implement the best solution, and speedily execute a refund for a product fulfillment order, and keep your customers happy!
PCI Compliance
We adhere to the strict Payment Card Industry Compliance guidelines as developed by the major credit cards companies to help prevent credit card fraud, vulnerabilities and threats. Our warehouse management system and internal processes are PCI compliant. Our systems and infrastructures remain compliant year after year, since we roll out upgrades regularly.

CRANSTON — The obit said in Monday's paper that he had been the dean emeritus of the Talent Development Program at the University of Rhode Island. It said that once upon a time he had been the training director at the ACI, helping inmates get their GED.
It also said he founded the first halfway house for felons in Rhode Island. It said that once he had been the first basketball coach at the Zuccolo Recreation Center and over the years had won numerous awards and recognitions for his civic work.
But obits just tell you the facts of someone's life.
They don't tell you the story of that amazing life, one that had been so defined by helping others.
And they don't tell you about someone's heart.
And very few people around here ever had any bigger heart than Leo DiMaio.
His baby was the Talent Development Program at URI, a program born out of the death of Martin Luther King in the late 1960s and the social unrest that sent shock waves through society at the time. It's a program that's helped innumerable minority kids through the years get a college degree and change their family's history. If nothing else, it immortalizes DiMaio's time at URI.
That is his enduring legacy, and it's a significant one.
And his surrogate kids were the URI basketball team.
And the message he gave all of them, from Tyson Wheeler to current URI assistant Preston Murphy, and from Carleton Owens to Antonio Reynolds-Dean, was the same one he once received from his father, a man who had to leave school early and go to work.
The message?
Work works.
DiMaio had grown up on Federal Hill, came of age in the grim realities of the Depression. He went to La Salle, then on to PC. Eventually he got a masters' degree from URI. So he knew how important education was, knew it was the passport to a better life. He also had come to know that education empowers people. That was the message he always was spreading, a teacher in the best sense of the word. And that's what had gotten him to Talent Development in the first place, this unwavering belief that education was the key to everything.
But he never set out to mentor athletes, as much as he always loved sports.
That happened by accident.
Seems there was a player named Jiggy Williamson in the '70s who wanted some academic help. He knew about Talent Development from his girlfriend, but since he was from Connecticut he wasn't eligible. No matter. DiMaio volunteered to help him. That was the start.
Soon he was helping many of the basketball players. Counseling them. Helping them. Supporting them. To the point that former Ram coach Al Skinner once called him "the conscience of the progam."
You almost couldn't be around URI basketball in the '80s and '90s without knowing about Leo DiMao. There is a great story about the time he walked into a URI practice, back when Tom Penders was the coach, and yelled "Stop the practice!"
"What's the problem, Mr. D?" Penders said.
"This man owes me a paper," DiMaio said, pointing at star guard Carlton Owens.
Owens left practice to go finish the paper.
For DiMaio always had known how fragile sports are, how they can be in front of your face one minute, gone the next. Once upon a time he had sports dreams of his own, spending a baseball summer in the Cleveland Indians' organization until the end of the year when he was told he couldn't hit and that was that, the dream right there in his suitcase on the ride home.
That always was his bottom-line message: sports are great, but education will be there when the cheers are long gone. That, and he didn't want to hear kids say they couldn't do it, didn't want to hear excuses.
"If you didn't get up in the morning he would come and bang on your door," said Mike McPhillips, who had been in Talent Development in the early '80s. "There was no fooling around."
He was standing in line Monday afternoon at Nardolillo's Funeral Home on Park Avenue, and in many ways it was a slice of old Rhode Island. From people who had known DiMaio in the struggle for civil rights in Rhode Island, to others who had known him at URI, to still others who had known him through URI basketball. All testament to a full life well lived.
And the theme that ran through the room was that, in many ways, DiMaio had been one of a kind, someone blessed with the gift to be able to relate to people, regardless of race, regardless of age, regardless of anything. That was no insignificant thing 40 years ago, back when URI was trying to be become more inclusive in a turbulent time in this country's history.
"His great gift was helping people," Preston Murphy, the former Ram player who is now a URI assistant coach, had said earlier in the day. "He had a great ability to relate to us. He genuinely cared about your life, not just the basketball part. He was an incredible man, and he touched a lot of lives."
Could anyone have a better epitaph?
A teacher, a coach, anyone?

Fran73 , 3 years agoGreat flavor if you like spicy, but for family meal with kids to spicy. Kids were unable to eat. Reducing spices and deglazing pan might help reduce heat.
Modicum , 4 years agoReally good-my husband commented on how delicious it was. Although I cut the recipe in half for two- I accidentally left the rub ingredients the same- so probably hotter chicken than intended. But the sour creme helped balance that out. Thanks for a good one. one note- Not clear what size can of tomatoes needed.
hubking , 4 years agoOne cup broth to one cup rice won't work! Try 2 cups! And one cup of rice isn't enough!

talisha4u , 4 years agoI have moved to England and so miss food from home. So I make this about once a week. I love it it's so easy and taste amazing.
Kstoney , 4 years agoYummy! Favorable reviews from the entire family, including my finicky 4yr old who devoured it. Unlike other reviews, I found the amount of spice to be just right and so did my husband, who likes spicy.
Armaced , 4 years agoThe spice rub for the chicken was fantastic - I plan on using that for other chicken recipies. This is a great dish - thank you!
MexicoKaren , 4 years agoThis recipe just didn't work well for me, probably because my chicken pieces were very large and meaty...they took about 90 minutes to totally cook, and the rice was pretty mushy by then. I think it would work much better with breast meat, and will try that next time. The seasoning, however, was really outstanding, so I'm not giving up on this recipe. I'll keep trying...

Expat03 , 4 years agoThis was an easy dish to make. I reduced the amount of chicken which made the spices kick in more. Makes great left-overs too.

Mayim Bialik and Joseph Lawrence reprise the roles that made them famous for the Old Navy Bee Bots commercial. Taking on their characters from the hit '90s sitcom 'Blossom,' Bialik and Lawrence have some fashionable fun for kids and adults alike.
Looking at Blossom's signature style in the Old Navy Bee Bots commercial, it is surprising that this clothing company didn't think of this theme earlier. Both these iconic kid's characters embody the essence of Old Navy, from their upbeat attitude to their bright fashion choices. Mayim Bialik has been named the new Chief Floral Office for Old Navy Funnovations Inc. and as her first act of business she has introduced some colorful spring dresses that her alter ego would have been proud to wear. Those who watch to the end will be rewarded with a classic "whoa" from Joey.

This wickedly witty, erotically charged play is about the conflict between the imprisoned Marquis de Sade (infamous, irreverent literary bad boy of 18th Century France) and the keepers entrusted with silencing the perverse tales that drip from his ink-laden quill. De Sade's only sword is his pen; his opponents are armed with far deadlier weapons. Quills explores the delicate and often malleable line between morality and personal freedom, while satirizing the hypocrisy and convenience of censorship and sexuality. Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Doug Wright, will lead a post-show talkback of his provocative Obie award winning play Quills Friday, August 1st, 2014 after the 8pm performance. Jeffrey Mittman, Executive Director of the ACLU of Missouri will be moderating the conversation that will also include the director and actors.

"And now we drink," said the priest. The holy water came from deep within the cave in which we knelt. The priest, or mangku, had collected it in a rusty bucket left under a dripping stalactite. The cave was discovered five centuries ago by the Javanese priest Nirartha, progenitor of Bali's particular strain of Shaivite Hinduism. In my sarong, sash, and headdress, I had nibbled the devotional rice, stuck a few grains on my forehead and solar plexus, assembled offerings, and prayed until my folded legs tingled on the cold cavern floor.
The mangku rang a bell and asked for blessings upon my wife and me. He spoke Kawi, the ancient language of poets and priests, in the rapid-fire patter of an auctioneer. The only words I understood were "hotel" and "Alila."
Every Bali resort worth its hand-harvested salt has a slate of edifying cultural activities, but the Alila Villas Uluwatu goes several steps beyond. Filling a dense handbook, Alila's roster of "Journeys" offers a more immersive experience than the average guest perhaps requires. You want to learn to play the gamelan? Practice djamoe medicine? Carve stone? Talk to the concierge.
Our choice was a guided tour of the temples of the Bukit Peninsula, on Bali's southern coast, highlighted by a visit to the cave-hidden Pura Goa Gong, "the gong temple," so named for a miraculous stalagmite that resonates when struck. Alila calls this excursion the Journey of Enlightenment. Before setting out we were issued a lengthy information packet that included the invaluable tip, "Sun protection and mosquito repellent are recommended for Enlightenment."
But back to the water. My wife, Nilou, and I eyed the bucket nervously, thinking, as one would, about dysentery. A film of algae had formed across the top. But the water was blessed, we reminded ourselves, and couldn't possibly hurt us. (I thought of the Ganges, where pilgrims brush their teeth downstream from women washing laundry with lye.) The mangku splashed a few drops on our heads, then lifted the ladle and administered the requisite dose. It tasted awful, like licking a battery. I suppose it was vaguely energizing. But it reeked to high heaven. As I struggled to swallow I considered that we might either reach enlightenment or die, or both.
We did not die. Not even a little. Nor, alas, did we achieve enlightenment. The holy water turned out to be benign, which was a relief and a disappointment. Instead of wrestling with giardia or epiphany, that night we enjoyed a transcendent meal at the Warung, the Alila's Indonesian restaurant, whose tongue-tingling soto ayam (a chile-spiced chicken soup) was the best Balinese dish we had on the island. After dinner we reclined in our courtyard bale pavilion, gazing at a moonlit sea, with only the surf and the peep of geckos breaking the silence of our clifftop perch. The Alila's clean lines and spare design—cool terrazzo and limestone offset with glowing hardwoods—made the resort even more of a retreat from the world outside its gates: an island overflowing with color and music and aromas and textures, a place that floods the senses.
Like so many travelers, we'd come back to Bali to connect with its spectacularly vibrant culture, and to see how it has endured. For after the setbacks of the last decade, Bali is booming again. Tourist arrivals are shattering all records. The resort enclaves of Seminyak and Kuta are so crowded with new shops, hotels, and restaurants that developers are reaching into unexploited corners of the island. Nilou and I had last visited six years ago, and in that time Bali appears to have discovered traffic: downtown Ubud was now mired in gridlock. The town was still buzzing from Julia Roberts's recent visit for the filming of Eat Pray Love, which has turned a whole new generation on to Bali's mystic charms.

Common Billing Questions
What do I need to know about my insurance policy?
Information about insurance
How can I get an itemized bill?
Call patient financial services at 444-6966 or 800-884-6966.
What is an "EOB"?
EOB stands for "explanation of benefits." It is NOT a bill; it simply explains your insurance coverage.
Why doesn't my insurance cover everything?
Not all insurance policies are the same. You should check with your insurance company to see what your particular policy covers.
Why do I have to give my coverage information more than once?
Although this may seem repetitive, we may not always have your most recent insurance and/or personal information.
If I am not asked about my insurance, should I still give it?
Absolutely! For the hospital to bill appropriately we need your correct insurance information.
Will I be charged for a private room?
Yes, there is an additional charge for a private room and a deposit is required. It is a good idea to call your insurance company prior to your visit to see if it will be covered. If a private room is medically necessary and ordered by your physician, you will not be charged for a private room.

Demystifying Dad
For years I struggled with how to befriend my father as if he were just a peer, just a normal person. But there is something silent and mysterious and austere about fathers, even the ones (like mine) who are funny, happy, mostly forthcoming guys.
In 2004 I had been living in a different city from my parents for seven years and was finishing a Master's Degree. My dad and I went out to get ice cream one evening when I was home and he said, "Lizzie, tell me about your thesis!" He knew I had been working hard on it.
So I began to talk…and within a minute my father had fallen asleep. Seriously, we were sitting in the car and he just fell asleep. I was midsentence when his first snore sounded.
To his credit, it was after his bedtime of 8pm. So there was that. Basically, every time I tried to have a heart-to-heart with my father, something like that happened. It was tricky to get him to stay on track.
Fast forward to 2011. I wrote a personal essay about my father, his nuanced sleep habits, and his surprising obsession with the Japanese sport of sumo wrestling. I called my essay "Awake with Asashoryu," named for the bad-boy sumo wrestler my father loved. The essay was great fun to write, because my father is a topic that puzzles me, and writing is how I make sense of things. It was also sad, dark: a nighttime piece, an elegy to the role of daughter in my life, as it twinkled and paled to make way for the role of mother.
But then the miraculous happened—somebody actually wanted to publish this piece! This incredibly personal essay about my dad! Oh lord. I had worked hard on it: getting it just right, as honest as I could be, both about who I am and who he is. And I didn't know what I should do. One of my father's many quirks is that he runs a daily google search on all news about my family—my brother's acting notices, my literary goings-on about town— and he sends them to us all. I knew he would definitely find out about this essay.
So I took it head-on. Next time he visited Boise (which everybody in my family does regularly now—one of the many perks of having a new baby: see Great Guest-pectations), I invited him to come over after dinner so that I could read something to him. We poured glasses of red wine, but he didn't drink his. I think he was nervous. Here I was, his wacko first-born daughter, this pseudo-hippie-minimalist-girl who makes her own baby wipes and who sheds belongings as a hobby, who has gone through so much school and yet by all IRS accounts is unemployed. His daughter who quit a perfectly decent teaching job at the high school where he used to teach, in order to move to Idaho and write full time. Here I was, asking him to listen to something that I wrote.
I read him my essay from start to finish. He listened…and he stayed awake. And what astonished me the most: He laughed! He laughed again and again. My essay that I had thought was so heart-wrenching, so sad and dark, so completely wrapped by the dark themes of mortality and the passing of the torch from being a daughter to being a mother—he thought this essay was wonderfully funny. After a few surprise laughs, I began to ham it up, reading it as if for a comedy effect. He adored the depictions of me, of him, of our life together.
This evening transformed my relationship both with my dad and with myself as a writer. I had dared descend into deep, vulnerable territory with him, and he had gone with me into my underworld. The humor he found there transformed the story. My essay was about all of the things I thought, but it was also about the quirky things, the mad obsessions, and the love that daughters inherit from their fathers and never, ever shed. I learned that a story changes for the writer with each new audience, as long as that audience truly listens.
I was so proud of my dad that night for listening. And both he and I were proud of me for going my own way, and for sharing that way with him.

Krejci hat trick lifts Bruins past Panthers
Boston goaltender Chad Johnson made 23 saves — and the Panthers hit four posts — and lost a shutout bid with 7:13 left. He is 12-3-1 this season, including 7-0 at home.
Defenseman Brian Campbell's long backhander hit the stick of Boston defenseman Matt Bartkowski and beat Johnson — Campbell's sixth goal of the season.

skyyv Posts: 13I went to the dealer here in Des Moines and they quoted me a price of $27834 + ttl - just under the MSRP I called up on this site. I emailed another dealer in Sioux City, IA and was quoted the lowest possible price they could sell at - $26000 + ttl ($100 below published invoice found on this site). I took that price in to the dealer closest to me and they wouldn't honor it - tried to tell me there were hidden fees which I knew there weren't. I was told the lowest they would sell at was just over $27000 (supposedly $500 over their "invoice" according to them). Needless to say, I have one on order with the dealer in Sioux City.
craigkl Posts: 2Today (11/30) I purchased a 2006 Eclipse GT for $26500 with Premium and Accessory packages. There was a factory-to-customer AND factory-to-dealer rebate which expired at the end of the month, or I suspect I might have been able to do a couple $100 less. Found out about the dealer part of the incentive on Edmunds.com and that proved to be useful negotiating information. Some very useful advice plus a downloadble Excel spreadsheet for calculating dealer's true cost at Carbuyingtips.com; strongly recommended.

craigkl Posts: 2Forgot to add, my Eclipse GT had automatic trans, a $900 MSRP option, so I actually got in at about SKYYV's reported price in post #, which was with manual trans. Carbuyingtips.com suggests getting the dealer to show you their factory invoice and checking the manufacturer's kickback for flooring (inventory financing) costs, which should come off the dealer's cost, but I didn't have time to do that.
frank476 Posts: 1So this car is listed at 11,000.
65,806 mileage
On the site, there was a free history report.
My friend said there was some red flags like: the person who owned it driving 30k miles in one year.
also, lien records were found which means the owner had financial problems.
finally, what does "corrected title" mean? it says that corrected titles were found.
Anyways yeah.. the specs on the site look good to me but I'm super ignorant. Any input about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! -
kyfdx Posts: 31,851Lien records: All that means is that the car was collateral for a loan.. 95% of cars have these..
Corrected title: That could mean anything.. from a court clerk typing the owner's name in wrong... or, putting the wrong model on the title.. or possibly, something more serious..
The car is six-years-old... I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage..
You aren't planning on buying it, without seeing it first, are you? I wouldn't consider it, without a mechanic's inspection..

jym626 Posts: 21We will be picking up our 2007 Eclipse Spyder GS Ultra Red Pearl automatic this afternoon. We are getting it for $400 UNDER INVOICE!! We are paying $25,076 plus 6% tax. No other junk/ad-on fees, other than the destination charge of $595. (No way around that.) It is a base model automatic (no leather or other packages), but that's fine by me--I am thrilled, and can't wait to pick up the car in a few hours. I'll be happy to post a follow-up when the car is in the driveway! We are in Atlanta. Other dealerships were not anywhere as willing to work with us. We spoke to the GM at the dealership in Roswell, and finalized the price over the phone. What a pleasure!
strawberi Posts: 2After much pain and bad noise I paid 18,600 for 2007 Mitsu Eclipse GS/mt w/sun and sound package. This was in San Antonio at W.Loop Mitsubishi. Dont know if this is good deal or not. Sales manager was total [non-permissible content removed], but from what I read this was about 1500$ under invoice.
strawberi Posts: 2Well I waited until the end of month (been told thats when they will do anything to sell) and found the Mitsu dealer with most eclipses on the lot. I called ahead and told them that I was at another dealership and was about to buy an eclipse from them (true, sort of) but that they didn't have the color I was looking for (true) the best price I had gotten from the other dealership was 19,300 (no fees) so I called the dealership I ended up buying the car from and told them that the other dealer was going to sell me an eclipse for 18,000 with sun and sound pkg. (total lie)
but not in my first color choice. I asked him if he had the color I wanted and if he could match their price. He said he had the color and that he could come real close to the price. When I get to the lot the head games begin. I dont want to turn this into russian lit. So I wont bore you with details. But if you want to get a really good price on a car, just find out the invoice price and make up your own story. Tell them some silly number like 2,000 under invoice. You can always work up. They get cash back from the factory depending on how bad they want to move cars. So I dont think the invoice price means as much these days (if it ever did) -
cnparda Posts: 2I went to the Newport News, VA dealership today to test drive the GT spyder. They had one in the showroom which I played around in and asked for test drive because I am comparing with the ford mustang. The salesperson brings out an eclipse for me to drive which I did for a few miles. I went back to the showroom and asked if I could now test drive a spyder because I need to compare it to other vehicles I have driven (mustang, G35, lexus). Knowing they only had one and it was in the showroom I asked that when they get a few more in let me know and I would drive it then. I was trying to accomadate them even though a good sales team would make arrangements for me to drive the one they have since it did not have a hold on it. I wanted to drive it w/ top up and down and compare blindspots, noise factor...etc. I was informed by the sales manager that test drives "for the sypder are for perspective buyers only" (meaning someone who puts buys before they try) and "people who buy spyders don't want any miles on them". So let me get this straight you are trying to encourage buyers, you make a good product/warranty/appearance but you won't let me test drive a 30k car. I was dressed like a business man, I make a lot of money, what did I do wrong? Am I being crazy or should I not be allowed to test drive a vehicle that I may buy. It makes me want to give some suggestions to corporate but I don't think that would do anything. Maybe the VA beach dealership will be better.

skyyv Posts: 13I'm not surprised this happened. Our local Mitsu dealer was the same way when my husband was looking at an Evo IX MR. I called up the Dodge dealer that we both ended up buying from and the guy I talked to said that was ridiculous. He told me that there were only two cars they didn't allow test drives on (a Prowler and a Viper - understandably so). The only stipulation our dealer had on the Evo was you had to be 26, licensed, and not mind the sales person going with you. Basically our dealer just wanted to make sure it wasn't a kid looking for a joy ride. In your case, it's completely ridiculous that they would deny you a test especially given that an Eclipse isn't a high end car. Sounds more like they were just too lazy to pull it off the showroom floor for you. My advice...find a different dealer who will work with you and tell the first one off.
eman59 Posts: 1Took advantage of the incentives on the 2006 models and purchased a 2006 Eclipse GT from the good folks at Dick Shirley Mitsubishi in Burlington.
The car: 2006 Eclipse GT, 6M, Sunset Pearlescent, with Premium Sport and Accessory Package. MSRP: $27,964.
The deal: $25,345 +TTL/doc and 0% for 60 months. We could have taken a $1000 rebate instead of special financing. With a low doc fee of $125 and a $500 Education rebate, we were out-the-door for $25,800. (For the record, there was $1000 factory-to-dealer cash at the time of this deal). This should keep us happy for years to come! -
howiebx Posts: 20I could use a 3rd family car (have a teen and a wife).
Thinking about a midlife crisis "toy".
I liked a Spyder 4 Cyl for around 25k, with no options. Fun, easy on the eyes and even the GS has plenty of power
I am also interested in a few year old BMW 325convert.
Also around 25k with only 13k miles - looks new.
I have been fanatically studying the boards & everyone enjoys the spyder. My only "concern" about the spyder was the constant engine sound when pressing the gas pedal, stick or automatic, 4 or 6 cylider. I welcome all opinions.
Thanks -
elgatoloco Posts: 92I have driven both the GS & GT Spyders but am not sure exactly what you mean by "engine sound". Are you referring to the fact that a convertible has more road noise than a hardtop or is it a specific engine noise? My sister has a new GT (not a Spyder) & it sounds great while accelerating. I have the same basic 4 cylinder Mivec in my Outlander that the Eclipse GS models have & it sounds quite normal also. If the sound seems to be mechanical in nature I would ask the dealer to let you take an experienced mechanic for a ride & discuss it with him. He may have had some experience with other customers having the same issue. Ask to drive another vehicle other than the one you have previousely driven also & see if there is a difference.
As for the basic "should I buy" question I am a Mitsu fan so I cannot be totally objective but if you like the Eclipse in a fun to drive capacity it also makes some good economic sense with the 10 year / 100,000 warranty. I have heard some griping about certain dealers so I cannot answer for everyone but the owner does have SOME responsibility to maintain the purchase in a realistic way. Mitsubishi, like most other companies, offers a pretty good scheduled maintainance package (oil change, tune-up...etc) if you don't want to do the work yourself. BMWs are a great car too but man are they expensive to maintain at peak performance.
Unless you can get the BMW with a really good price & warranty / scheduled maintainance agreement the Spyder is a better pocketbook deal in the long run, but like I said...I'm can't be that objective about it.
P.S. If you have a teen you might just want to get their opinion too. Cool factor, sound system...etc. Don't let em say you never asked... believe me, I know. -
howiebx Posts: 20thx for the opinion elgatoloco.
By "engine sound" I mean that I really hear the engine when I press on the gas. My other cars are a Lexus ES and Acura MDX, which insulate you fron the engine "vroom".
I asked the Mitsu salesman about the engine sound and he replied, hey - its a sports car, thats how they are made.
What I am asking is - does the constant engine sound get on your nerves on a long ride - or do you just get used to the experience?
I Definitely agree that the BMW needs to be certified to keep maint costs down vs Spyder and my 2 boys love the Spyder looks.
Thanks again -
elgatoloco Posts: 92Yeah.. I thought that was probably what you were talking about, sounds like the salesman was pretty honest too.
My sister has only had her eclipse GT (her 4th Mitsubishi) for a short time but has already made 2 trips to Florida from central Illinois. She has a kind of gonzo driving habit in that she drives straight through with an always full mug of juice or coffee. She says she likes to hear the throb of the 3.8, makes her feel safe. If she needs a change she just cranks the radio up a bit. Incidentally, she has checked her mileage out pretty good & claims better MPG when using premium. She says she averages 75-80 on the interstate & gets about 27 MPG. Much better than her previous Diamante. -
zek Posts: 2any heads up for a 1st time mitsubishi buyer.
it has 127,000miles on it but the care spent its whole life in miami so there is no salt or rain damage.
several ppl told me that they break down very easily, is that true and that its the most expensice [non-permissible content removed] car to maintain if anyone no's anything about that please let me know this will greatly help my disision!!!
thanks, -
2007eclipse Posts: 6I have to say I got an absolute steal on my automatic 07 GS Eclipse in Sunset Pearl but it really came at a price and my time. I got the car with 2 miles and it cost me, are you ready??? $16,400.
The dealership was having a killer sale which of course no one qualifies for and I happened to qualify for all of it, which in total was about $4500 off. They tried killing the deal several times b/c they were losing money. But I persevered and got the car. It was an absolute nightmare going through them because of the General Manager lied through his teeth, insulted me, even tried bait & switch, and then said he wouldn't sell the car to me b/c of my trade. They had a deal going on that they would give you $2,000 for any car you could drive, pull, or push in. So I knew a guy who was selling his car for $200, so naturally I got that car to trade in instead of my 99 eclipse which was worth more than $2k. They obviously didn't want to stand behind there ad, but b/c it was in the paper/radio they were really forced to. I spent a week of my life doing everything in my power to get the car, and they spent a week of there life doing everything to not sell me the car.
As a final note, The other Mitsubishi dealership by my house is great to work with, so I am not saying all Mitsubishi dealerships are like that. It was honestly just the General Manager at the dealership I went through that made my car buying experience such a nightmare. Plus when is car buying ever easy

CHERRY HILL Camden County firefighters are getting help fighting what can be one of their biggest risks on the job: their own health.
Cardiac disease is the number one killer among firefighters over 35, and 44 percent of all deaths in the line of duty are from sudden cardiac arrest, statistics show.
Those numbers were behind a new health screening program, "Helping Heroes," launched Friday by the county freeholder board and Cooper University Health Care.
"We want to change those statistics," said Louis Bezich, Cooper's chief of staff. "We want to make sure the first responders have a good and long life."
This year, there have been 87 firefighter deaths nationwide, and one-fourth were cardiac-related, officials said. Obesity, while epidemic among all Americans, is more prevalent among first responders.
Statistics were not available on cardiac deaths among firefighters in South Jersey. But officials said they welcomed the program, which will make health screenings more accessible and affordable.
"They need to be physically fit," said Lindenwold Fire Chief Mike Nolan of his 60-member volunteer department. "It's like early detection."
About 2,800 firefighters and emergency medical technicians or EMTs from across the county will be eligible for comprehensive physical exams through the program. Nearby counties have expressed interest in replicating the program.
To eliminate barriers that may keep some from getting exams, the screenings will be conducted at their fire stations, or can be scheduled at a doctor's office at their convenience.
"Our goal really is to find illness early," said Daniel Hyman, head of internal medicine at Cooper and the medical director for the Helping Heroes program. "We'll do nights. We'll do weekends."
Because 75 percent of emergency responders in the country have been diagnosed with hypertension or early signs of it, the program especially wants to identify those with cardiovascular or other potentially life-threatening diseases.
"It's not the smoke, fire, or flames that kills firefighters," Nolan said. "For most of them, it's cardiac arrest."
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that firefighters and first responders have an annual exam but officials say some don't, either because they don't have health insurance or they don't have time for appointments.
The exams will cost $375 for the estimated 15 percent of firefighters without insurance. Some fire departments have said that they will pick up the tab.
Firefighting can be physically demanding, with firefighters typically carrying up to 70 pounds of equipment to a fire scene.
"Physical conditioning and physical well-being are huge," said Clementon Fire Chief Randy Freiling, president of the Camden County Fire Chiefs' and Fire Officers' Association. "It's getting more and more challenging."
The program is expected to begin early next year and may be extended to other first responders such as police, said Freeholder Scot McCray.
"Every day the men and women who protect our families and homes put themselves at great risk to ensure our safety," McCray said. "This new program is the least we can do to help those heroes."

Emperor Corrino has issued a challenge that the House which can produce the most spice will control its source, the desert planet Dune, with no rules as to how the Houses can achieve the goal. Meanwhile, Lady Elara of the Bene Gesserit and bound concubine to the Emperor, secretly takes the commander - the player - into one of the Heighliners, a person whose bloodline and future the Sisterhood had checked. According to Elara, they saw many visions of the commander dying many times—and only in one vision does the commander live and even rise to control massive armies and bring peace to Arrakis.

How do i fix it when theres a split half screen thing?It's messed up and unplayable
I fondly remember this game :)
Even after seeing the film I don't know why, I must have misread it somewhere, but for years I thought that the spice was actually a really efficient and clean fuel (which was also renewable by the worms) and that is why the planet was sought after, hence the famous "He who controls the spice controls the universe". The one who controls the fuel, controls the space travel.
I know since then it's a drug and it IS some way used for space travel through the navigators, but to this day I still think it makes more sense as a fuel source only (well at least for me)
This game and it's forefunner began the RTS revolution....
I justt love this game....
I have the PS version of this. Graphics are low quality, but 3d. That one actually has two colors per faction. Main color is whatever color is chosen by the player (or just blue, red, green in campaign depending on faction), but additionally Harkonnen always have a red secondary color, ordos have green, and atreides blue regardless of primary color. In campaign there's also yellow for smugglers, brown for Fremen, yellow-green for mercs (or just yellow. When combined with grey primary color it may look different), and purple for Corrino's Sardaukar.
The game had some great features like the sandworm and the pavement, I find it sad that these are not picked up by newer rts games.
Dune, worlds first RTS game.
If westwood hadn't made this, who knows maybe Warcraft and Star craft wouldn't exist.
sux best dune was on sega dune the battle for arrakis
sega dune was cool, this certainly does not suck though.
