Inu-Yasha is one of my favorite animes too! I lov it bcuz it about the type of stuff I like. Some of the good things about it is the acting, the story line is good too, also I think the animation is a good one!
Inuyasha is never really among my favourite anime list but I guess it will always have a special spot in my heart, because the character's stories and lives are endearing and touching and you just feel like seeing how the relationship between them will be like in the end, given that there is an end.
Well, to keep it simple. The story, characters, (both good and bad.) You always gotta like watching the character development, and also the love triangle!!!! Kikyo x Inuyasha x Kagome!
I used to really like it because this Inuyasha freak got me into it. Now I don't like it that much anymore. And Adult swim is starting the episodes all over again. I have never seen the last episodes now they are starting over.:(:
I honestly hate Inuyasha, but i like the music that is used for the main theme intros of each season. I started watching Inuyasha way back when cartoon network started broadcasting it. The first couple episodes were kool and i enjoyed watching them. At some point the show got bored because whenever they killed the bad dude he would always come back to life by either possessing a new body or by reincarnating into an animal or person.
Humm. I personally think Inuyasha is a decent anime, I mean, I'm not in krazy luff with it, but I like it. The good points:*nodnod* Miroku's vacuum hand xD, The plot is fairly interesting and I love the love affair: InuyashaxKikyoxKagome xD Funny. I also love it how creepy the monsters/demons are, and chills just run down my back when I see Sesshomaru o3o. Bad Points: Sesshomaru scares me, Inuyasha needs a haircut (Sesshomaru, too! >.<), and Shippo is pretty much useless.
Inuyasha had great characters who everybody can relate to. They have funny episodes. It has a lot of dramma. It has some of the cutest anime scenes with action. And the whole series has great animation and it has a lot of episodes what is there not to love.
well different ppl has different likings even if it comes to Anime~ it has great music and a never ending story which keep your imagination running ('',) but wht or not you like it is another thing~

Fed contractor constructs outdoor oasis for Katrina victims; Virtually safe…hurricanes?; IBM summons coeds to build openly accessible Open Document Format software
Fed contractor constructs outdoor oasis for Katrina victims
A government technology contractor has announced it is building a park and pavilion for a small Mississippi community that lay in ruins after Hurricane Katrina.
Project Performance Corp. (PPC), a management and technology consulting company based in McLean, Va., said a team of 10 employees left Aug. 19 to assemble the new amenities in Bayside Park, just outside of Bay St. Louis, Miss.
The undertaking is part of the company's efforts to help the Bayside Park neighborhood, which lost nearly all of its 700 trailers and small homes during Katrina.
PPC employees will outfit the recreation area with screened pavilions, picnic tables, a performing arts stage and a flower garden.
The week-long trip marks the company's seventh visit to Bayside Park since Katrina struck. On each trip, PPC donates its employees' time and money for food, supplies and equipment.
Virtually safe…hurricanes?
The online 3D world Second Life has garnered headlines for hosting virtual concerts by major music acts such as Duran Duran and Suzanne Vega.
But the buzz on the blogs these past weeks is that Second Lifers now have federal neighbors: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has erected its own plot of land inside the alternate universe.
Philip Rosedale, former RealNetworks chief technology officer, founded Second Life. It is a shared Web community in which people create and animate avatars of themselves to interact with one another.
NOAA's 'hood, Meteora, boasts a sea life submarine tour, tsunami models, a plane ride into a hurricane and a demo of how glaciers melt.
Meteora is the brainchild of NOAA's Earth Research Systems Laboratory. The lab, which has 600 workers in Boulder, Colo., focuses on climate change and the atmospheric activities that contribute to climate change.
The project was fairly spontaneous.
"One of our guys is a Second Life guy and said, 'How about we try this?' " said lab director Sandy MacDonald. Several of the lab's scientists contributed to the project, along with a few other nongovernment Second Lifers.
MacDonald said that the plot is a test bed. He hopes to use it as a platform to convey weather forecasts and inform the public about climate change.
He added that reaching out virtually may be the way of the future. "It's not too far in the future where the virtual way of presenting information may be the best way," MacDonald said.
IBM summons coeds to build openly accessible Open Document Format software
Last month, IBM launched a contest that challenges college students worldwide to propose accessibility software based on a new international open-format standard.
Open Document Format (ODF), an alternative to proprietary formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, is a file format built upon Extensible Markup Language. The format was conceived as a standard for saving government records so that any application can read them in the future, regardless of the software that created the original document.
IBM is opening the competition to undergraduate students in the United States, Canada, China and Japan.
"This contest brings together three critical ideas that have significant importance in the computer industry today: open standards, open source and accessibility," said Bob Sutor, IBM vice president for standards and open source.
"We hope that these efforts spark significant uptake in how we make our information and applications available to as many people as possible," Sutor said.
The rules:
Phase 1: Learn about accessibility and ODF. Study articles and presentations provided by IBM. Then complete a quiz demonstrating comprehension of the basic concepts of ODF and accessibility.
Phase 2: Use the new knowledge to make a difference.
Option A: Create a tool that automatically identifies places where accessibility features should be applied in an ODF-based word processing document.
Option B: Do your own thing — with the green light from IBM. Submit a short paragraph or two that identifies an ODF accessibility issue and explains how to address the issue using technology. If approved, program the code to support the proposed solution.
The prizes:
The top 10 student developers in each region win an iPod Nano. The best two student developers in each region get a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop and a trip to Los Angeles next year for the 22nd Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference.

Irish in Toronto are upset that Ireland Park, Toronto's famine memorial, has been closed since 2010 despite constant promises from the authorities to re-open it.
The waterfront Ireland Park, in Toronto, dedicated to the Irish famine victims, was officially launched by former president Mary McAleese in 2007. However the Irish tourist attraction in Canada remains closed due to a construction site surrounding the area.
The $3.8 million park, including statues by Rowan Gillespie, remains behind a building site barricade and "no trespassing" signs, according to the Irish Times report.
Run by the Ireland Park Foundation, the memorial park was funded with $483,000 from the Irish Government, along with Canadian and private donors.
Ireland Park is a memorial to the 38,000 Irish who arrived on Toronto's Lake Ontario shore between May and October of 1847. More than one thousand of them died that summer.
Inside the now closed park is a wall made of Irish limestone where the names of the dead immigrants are carved. There are also five bronze sculptures by internationally renowned Dublin-based artist Rowan Gillespie.
According to the Irish Times this wall is visible over the construction barriers and tourists are often seen attempting to take photos from the adjacent parking lot.
The park was closed in 2010. The Toronto Sun reported in March 2010 that Ireland Park was "almost impossible to find, let alone reach." They also reported that the City of Toronto was planning to build a pathway to make it easier to access the park. However, the construction was more complex than previously thought.
In 2011 the Star reported, "A waterfront park that honours refugees from the Irish famine has been closed since 2010 and is unlikely to reopen until next year."
Responding to this report the City of Toronto released a statement saying, "access to the park should reopen early in 2012." However now, half way through the year, the park remains closed.
Robert G Kearns, Chair of the Ireland Park Foundation, told the Times that although he would be thrilled to see the park reopened it was a complex issue. He said that when the $4.8 million extension to the quay wall is complete it will enhance the park. When this project is complete it will provide a tree-lined lakeside promenade, a lasting legacy for hundreds of years.
The City of Toronto now estimates that the park will reopen in December 2013.

Pamela Parker | July 8, 2005 | Comments
Last week's blockbuster Live 8 show rocked online. How can marketers join in -- without screwing things up?
Like others in the industry, I've been keeping an eye on America Online lately. Only recently, with the launch of the new AOL.com beta site, has it been possible to really experience AOL as a nonsubscriber. This past weekend, though, the watching started in earnest.
Wanting to check out the company's progress in moving beyond the walled garden, I tuned in to aolmusic.com's Webcast of the Live 8 concerts. Having just moved into a new house, we don't yet have cable TV. Thankfully (our priorities being what they are), we do have DSL. Online was our only possible medium. It turned out to be the ideal medium for the job.
What I saw (along with around 5 million other people) was nearly flawless streaming video that could be expanded to full screen with little degradation. I could choose from a variety of concert locations, toggling back and forth at will. Teaser scrolls told me what performers were up next at the various venues. The audio sounded great, no stuttering or buffering. I was in control. I loved it.
Apparently, I wasn't alone. Since the Webcast, AOL has won praise from nearly all quarters.
Panning MTV's coverage, Robert Hilburn of the "Los Angeles Times" wrote, "It probably encouraged hundreds of thousands of rock fans to go to the Internet, where America Online did a spectacular job of presenting the Live 8 music."
Beth Gillen of Knight Ridder newspapers chimed in with: "If Live Aid helped launch MTV as a media powerhouse two decades ago, Live 8 not only dethroned the music channel Saturday, but it also made it seem quaintly old-fashioned. The Internet left cable in the dust. To put it bluntly, MTV sank and AOL soared."
That kind of praise can't help but warm hearts in the industry. It's fantastic for AOL, of course, particularly as it prepares to launch its AOL.com portal site to a general Web audience.
"AOL has been saddled with the image of the kind of lo-fi newbie audience, and for a long time it wasn't viewed as very cool, for lack of a better description," Eric Valk Peterson, VP and media director at Agency.com, told me. "This was a very strong way for them to expand beyond the existing audience and perhaps reestablish, or sort of rebrand, AOL in a lot of people's minds. They did pull it off so well. They really nailed it. I think a lot of people are now saying, 'Hey, I'm going to take another look at AOL.'"Jeff Lanctot, VP of media at Avenue A/Razorfish, agreed. "I think the Live 8 stream is a pretty damn big deal. They positioned themselves as forward thinkers. They weren't playing catch-up," he said. "I can't recall another program that was shown both online and on broadcast or cable where the online experience was clearly superior.... MSN, Yahoo and others wish they'd done what AOL did. I think it will be seen as a pretty important event in [the evolution of live streaming online]."
More generally, the Webcast's success shows the world at large -- such as audiences for live, mass-reach events -- the Internet really can deliver on its promise. For media buyers (interactive and traditional), the program's success demonstrates the tremendous benefits that can accrue from having your brand associated with a successful interactive event.
With a live Webcast, Peterson notes, "once it happens, it happens, and your advertising is associated with the quality of the production."
I talked with Jim Bankoff, AOL's EVP of programming, in the wake of the concert event. Not surprisingly, he was pleased with the reaction to the Webcast, saying it was the payoff for many years' work with broadband and streaming content.
"I think marketers have to go to where consumption is going and where consumption trends are going," Bankoff told me. "More and more consumers want to have control over their media experience -- look at video-on-demand growth, TiVo growth, iPod growth. What do all of these things have in common? They put the consumer in control of their media."
There's a danger here, however. One of the most criticized aspects of MTV's broadcast was cutting away to commercials. Some found the advertising wildly incongruent with the anti-poverty message of the concerts themselves. AOL didn't have that problem, partly because it only had two advertisers: Microsoft and the Philadelphia Tourism Board. Microsoft was highlighted in video that rolled prior to concert content and in banner ads that appeared alongside the video. Nothing interrupted the live streams themselves. In future Webcasts -- perhaps ones associated with less sobering causes -- will AOL show as much restraint?
Bankoff says although we might see more advertising, it will be handled delicately. "Consumers are savvy," he noted. "We all recognize that it's an ad-supported medium. You're not paying a price to get this great broadcast. You're willing to accept some sponsor and advertiser integration, and you even expect it. But both marketer and consumer are expecting it to be delivered in a way that makes sense."
Agency.com's Peterson warns AOL should carefully balance the user experience with the need to monetize content.
"It will behoove AOL not to kill the golden goose here by not taking easy money. A lot of money will be thrown at putting :30 second spots up online," he predicted. "Everyone needs to make a living out of this, but to do so in a way that keeps the viewers coming back ultimately does provide more value to the advertiser. No advertiser is getting any value showing a commercial to people who were upset they had to see it."
Amen. What AOL did this past weekend served to boost its image with consumers and advertisers. It also helped prove what Internet media can accomplish in a broadband world with today's streaming technologies. We've seen a glimpse of the future, both for AOL and the medium as a whole. As things move forward and more advertisers seek to jump on the bandwagon, let's not forget what brought the audiences in the first place: control and nonintrusive advertising. Everyone's paying attention. Don't disappoint.

Vista, just seven miles away from the Pacific Ocean in northern San Diego County, boasts year-round sunshine, city parks, urban gardens, farmers markets, and plenty of cultural amenities, making this the ideal destination to rent an apartment and raise your family.
Originally the land of Rancho Buena Vista, Vista was founded in 1882 and incorporated in 1963. Today, the city's population surpasses 93,000, and residents living here enjoy the work-life balance of a city that has both a fruitful economy and an abundance of recreational activities.
Outdoor enthusiasts renting apartments here will want to visit the Alta Vista Gardens, a botanical garden that has become a gathering place for the community, as well as the 13 other parks throughout the city. For a fun summer outing, take your family to The Wave Waterpark, which hosts private events and swimming lessons.
Fans of theater will want to check out all of the events offered through Moonlight Stage Productions, an award-winning regional theater company based here, as well as the Krikorian Premiere Theatres, which is one of the world's grandest theatrical exhibition companies.
History buffs looking to better understand the context surrounding their new home city will want to take a walking tour at the Vista Historical Society and explore the Rancho Buena Vista Adobe and Rancho Guajome Adobe.
Vista, like most Southern California cities, is primarily car-dependent, so it would not be advisable to ditch your wheels here. However, the Coast Express Rail, Amtrak, Greyhound Bus, and North County Transit District all provide public transportation that serves the city.
If you're making the move to Vista because of its close proximity to the higher education opportunities in San Diego, there are plenty of schools to look into. The University of San Diego, San Diego Community College District, Argosy University San Diego and San Diego City College are all less than an hour away.
Some of the primary employment sectors in Vista are in the sectors of education, law, and medical devices and services. Top employers include Vista Unified School District, San Diego Superior Court, and DJ Orthopedics, among others.

Palestinian members of the elite force deploy in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh, Tuesday, July 8, 2014. (The Daily Star/Mohammed Zaatari)
BEIRUT: Representatives of the committee heading the elite Palestinian security force toured the Ain al-Hilweh camp's markets Saturday to check up on the deployed officers and the stability in the camp.
Four Palestinian officials surveyed the camp's streets and commercial markets a week before the arrival of the Eid al-Fitr, which is celebrated at the end of Ramadan and sees Muslims typically buy new clothes and prepare large ceremonies.
The convoy included Hamas' political relations officer Ahmad Abelhadi, Secretary of the Popular Committees in Ain al-Hilweh camp Abou Bassam Makdah and the representative of the Islamic factions Khalid As-Saadi, the National News Agency reported.
Abdelhadi said that the move is to ensure that the camp is safe for all residents and especially women, and "complement[s] the efforts of the merchants" in this aim.
He expressed that the residents' response was widely positive and that many actors were contributing to the success of the security plan in the camp.
The three representatives were joined by the head of the Palestinian Scholars Committee Sheikh Bassam Kayed.
"Safe-guarding the camps' security and especially Ain al-Hilweh camp is a national responsibility and we should all collaborate to protect our camps," Kayed said .

The Airbus A340-600 features a 35 ft (11.7 metres) stretch over the -300 model allowing up to 380 passengers in a three class cabin arrangement over 7,500 nautical miles (nm) and 419 passenger in a two-class configuration. Maximum capacity is 440 passengers.
Airbus launched the A340-500/600 series to compete the Boeing 747 models and the 777 series. The most direct Boeing equivalent to the A340-600 is the 777-300ER.
The A340-600 is more than four metres longer than the 747-400 model and 2.3 metres longer than the A380. It provides similar passenger capacity to a 747 but with 25% more cargo volume, and at lower trip and seat costs.
First flight of the A340-600 was made in April 2001. The aircraft received certification by the European Joint Aviation Authorities in May 2002 and entered service with Virgin Atlantic in August 2002.
The A340-600 is powered by four 56,000 lbs thrust Trent 556 engines. IThe two-wheel centreline landing gear of the A340-300 is replaced by a four-wheel undercarriage on the fuselage centre-line to cope with the increased maximum take-off weight (MTOW). Airbus has made provisions for freeing additional upper deck main cabin space by providing optional arrangements for additional facilities such as crew rest areas, galleys, and lavatories upon the "stretched" A340 aircraft's lower deck.
Airbus launched the A340-600HGW (high gross weight) version, with a strengthened structure, increased fuel capacity, more powerful engines and new manufacturing techniques like laser beam welding. The aircraft first flew in November 2005 and was certified in April 2006.
The A340-600HGW is powered by four 56,000 lbs thrust Trent 556A-261 engines. Benefiting from A380 technology, reduced maintenance costs, and the latest development of Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines, Airbus says the A340-600HGW provides up to 18% higher productivity compared to earlier variants and travels 250 nm further, up to 7,900 nm.
Emirates Airline became the launch customer for the -600HGW when it ordered 18 at the 2003 Paris air show; but postponed their order indefinitely and later cancelled. Qatar Airways, which placed its order at the same air show, took delivery of only four aircraft with the first aircraft in September 2006. Lufthansa, Virgin Atlantic and Etihad Airways also took delivery of the -600HGW variant.
Airbus studied an Enhanced version of the A340-600 five years ago to reassert itself in the long-range widebody battle with Boeing. The dubbed "A340-600E" study incorporated certain improvements from the A350 and a new Trent 1500 engine, developed from the Trent 1000/1700 family. Airbus eventually shelved the study to concentrate on the A350 programme.
Airbus sold a total of 96 A340-600s (including two aircraft for VIP role) and delivered 95 aircraft to customers. One aircraft was damaged beyond repair during ground testing in November 2007. The aircraft was due to be delivered to Etihad Airways.
Last A340-600 deliveries included two aircraft for Iberia in the first half of this year.
A total of 37 aircraft are powered by the Trent 556-61 engine, while the Trent 556A-261 engine powers 58 aircraft.
The A340 was Airbus' original long-range product in the days when it did not believe the market for a twinjet of similar capability would find enough market interest due restrictive regulations on long over-water flying. The subsequent success of the A330 and the 777 gradually changed Airbus' view on this and it has evolved its own big twin into a strong performer.
The A330's range development and the launch of the A350 XWB ultimately killed off the original CFM International CFM56-powered A340-300, with Airbus ironically securing its 1,000th order for the twinjet as the last of 246 A340-200/300s rolled off the line.
Airbus retained the four-engined approach for long-range/high-capacity and ultra-long-range missions in the form of the A340-600 and -500, respectively. The $2.9 billion A340-500/600 programme was launched in 1998. The new family sold reasonably well early on before Boeing finally evolved 777 variants with similar size and range capabilities - the -300ER and -200LR - which entered service in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
The subsequent development of these new variants gave Airbus a hard time in the marketplace trying to sell the A340 quad with its higher operating costs. Even Airbus' chief salesman John Leahy admitted in 2006 to a "single-digit fuel burn penalty" over the 777, which he said could be "traded off" through competitive pricing. However, the last few year's fuel price rises exaggerated this gap, and it was no surprise that Airbus has had relatively few orders since 2005.
Virgin Atlantic, which operates 14 aircraft of the type, cancelled its six outstanding A340-600 aircraft it had on order in January this year and firmed its previously-disclosed order for six Airbus A330-300s in 2009. The carrier signed a letter of intent with AerCap Holdings for the 12-year purchase and leaseback for these aircraft and a lease agreement for another four aircraft. The aircraft are scheduled for 2011 and 2012. Virgin Atlantic says they will provide capacity that was to have been added by the now much-delayed Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
Air Canada initially deferred the delivery of its three aircraft order by 18 months and eventually cancelled them, 10 years after placing its order for the type. The carrier took advantage of the second-hand market to renegotiate the lease of 747-400s at the time when economic conditions were challenging.
Egyptair abandoned plans in 2003 to take two A340-600s as part of its long-haul fleet renewal following its decision to order seven A330-200s.
All the 95 aircraft in commercial services have stayed with their original customer, except three aircraft at Hainan Airlines. The three 2002-vitnage A340-600s were initially placed by ILFC to Cathay Pacific but after a six-year operating lease, were placed with Hainan Airlines for seven years to 2015.
Lufthansa is the largest customer of the type with 24 aircraft in service, or 26% of the total fleet.
Iberia replaced its ageing Boeing 747-200B/300 fleets with the A340-600 model. South African Airways replaced its Boeing 747-200B/300/SP fleets as well as some 767-200ERs with the A340-300/600s. The SAA A340-600s were Swissair's delivery positions.
Values and Lease Rates
There's no denying that the market for the -600 is fairly limited. There are no aircraft available for sale or lease but on the other hand few customers are openly talking about the A340-600 applications.
IBA Group says the fleet is fairly concentrated with only 12 operators, mainly national carriers, and Lufthansa is the largest with 24 models.
IBA says operators are satisfied with the aircraft performance and holding onto their models. "The limited availability for both the -600 and its dominant rival, the 777-300ER, should help to reduce downward pressure on A340-600 values in the short-term," says senior analyst Alice Gondry.
IBA values a 2002-vintage aircraft at $74.08 million current market value (CMV) while base value is $82.031 million. Morten Beyer & Agnew (MBA) says the same aircraft has a $55.93 million CMV.
"The A340-600 is facing increasing pressure from its competitors. Although it is one of the largest commercial aircraft, its lower fuel efficiency when compared to the twin-engine Boeing 777, has continued to impact its values negatively. However, when operated outside of ETOPS parameters, the aircraft still fulfills a valuable mission," comments MBA.
A 2004 delivery has an $81.87 million CMV and a $90.97 million base value for IBA, while MBA values the aircraft at $63.55 million CMV.
A 2007 delivery has a $95.08 million CMV and a $105.65 million base value for IBA, while MBA values the aircraft at $78.24 million CMV.
However both appraiser companies have a current market value of $116 million for a new delivery.
Monthly lease rates for older models are in the $650,000 and $730,000 range for IBA and between $410,000 and $640,000 for MBA.
A 2004-vintage aircraft would attract lease rates between $705,000 and $770,000 according to IBA. MBA has a range of $440,000 and $675,000 a month.
IBA says a three-year old aircraft would have monthly lease rental between $800,000 and $860,000 while MBA says lease rates are between $470,000 and $731,000.
On a new delivery, IBA has lease rates between $880,000 and $950,000 a month. MBA says lease rates are between $643,000 and $793,000.

Harbinger Capital Management's ambitious wireless venture said it is considering a document request from a Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), who is seeking information about the firm's ties to the White House.
LightSquared said it has "Sen. Grassley's request under review." The ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee has asked for records of Harbinger's communications with White House officials about LightSquared, which won a crucial waiver from the Federal Communications Commission earlier this year.
Grassley and other Republicans have suggested that the waiver was granted because of Harbinger founder Philip Falcone's donations to Democrats. Falcone and LightSquared have denied those allegations, the latter noting that the original approvals for LightSquared came during the George W. Bush administration and the former claiming to be a registered Republican.
Grassley's request may not be the only one Falcone has to deal with from Capitol Hill. Members of the Senate Agricultural Committee may call him to testify about Harbinger's investment in LightSquared.
LightSquared, for its part, continued to move forward with business as usual. On Wednesday, CEO Sanjiv Ahuja told Dow Jones Newswires that the company would need to raise $3.5 billion to be cash-flow positive over the next two years, although the company is not actively raising money.
"We are absolutely confident we can raise the capital that's needed," Ahuja said. He said the company was equally confident that it could deal with the global position system interference issues that have plagued the company.
"We are absolutely confident that we can design a network that can live harmoniously with the GPS network and the GPS devices that are out there," he said.

Produce Swap anyone?
bigtexwormsApril 27, 2011
I was thinking of organizing a produce swap for the greater Tarrant county area.
I always have a surplus of certain fruits/veggies as do most gardeners.
Thought it might be beneficial to have a couple of swap days per month so we could trade each other for produce.
Would anyone be interested?

So everything seemed to flash OK via Odin, but still stuck with a phone that doesn't boot and I can't get into recovery. Anybody ideas as I have just about ran out, the only thing I can try is flashing an official stock firmware but I'm not holding out much hope.

2003 Ford Windstar SEL 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
This is my second and last Windstar,
the first was a 2000 SEL that was
plauged with electrical problems. 3
dealers and no one ever solved the
problem, so I traded it in for an 02
with only 17500 on it. So far my new 02
SEL has been fine except for one
problem with the fan blower. Seems that
the A/C system really takes too long to
cool the car on 85 plus days. Right now
I have my eye on the new Sienna,
although I must admit I like the
styling of the Windstar over the
Sienna. But let me tell you it ends
there. The new Sienna will surely
rattle the industry in terms of Minivan
sales, it should easily knock the
Odessy out of first place.

2003 Ford Windstar SE 4dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
The Windstar is a solid minivan with
good torque, and is very comfortable.
It is nice looking, and has a classy
look with the chrome trim. The A/C is
strong and does its job heartily. It
is easy to get in and out of, and has
a good driving position. It has plenty
of cargo space with or without the
back seat(s).

I love Windstars! I had a 96, although
it was a lemon. I traded that in for a
new 98 and has that for 5 years and
70,000 trouble free miles. I got rid of
that and now I have my 03 Windstar
Limited. I love it. It has been majorly
improved from my 98. It's quieter
inside and the interior is of a higher
quality. I Love it!

The Ford Windstar is the best van my
wife has every had. We have four
children and i use it to pick up things
at the hardware store. it drives great
and theres plenty of room. we have had
a Dodge Carvan, Chevy Venture, and a
Toyota Previa and none come close to
how nice this van is.

I am a married man with 5 children.
The Windstar was our first choice for
safety above anything else. We decided
to pay a little extra for some extra
equipment, but the cost have been well
worth it. We don't hear the kids
complaining of being uncomfortable, and
most of the time they are asleep before
we even get out of town!!!!

The Windstar stayed in the
shop for Trans. problems, electrical
problems, pwr sliding doors would
malfunction, Keyless entry wouldn't
work, CD player ate CDs and Check
Engine light would come on all the
time. Broke down 3 times. The
dealership denied all problems, said
that there was nothing wrong with the
car. When we were in a car accident
none of the airbags went off when they
were supposed to. The dealership said
there was malfunction in the airbag
sensors. I will never buy another Ford
Van, and I will never buy another
vehicle from Berglund In Salem, VA.
