Cars With the Best Dealer Experience
December 6, 2012
Both MINI and Lexus repeated their top scores when it comes to sales satisfaction, according to the recently released J.D. Power and Associates 2012 U.S. Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) StudySM. The study is based on how customers rate every aspect of their vehicle shopping experience including their satisfaction with the dealership and salesperson they purchased from, as well as the dealerships they visited but did not purchase from.
MINI reportedly ranked the highest among mass market brands for the third year in a row, with a score of 712, based on a 1,000 point scale. They were immediately followed by Buick and GMC with scores of 706 and 683, respectively.
Among luxury brands, Lexus dominated for the second year in a row with an index score of 737, followed by Infiniti (728) and Cadillac (725). The rankings are reportedly based on the experiences of both buyers and rejectors.
Below is a full list of manufacturers and how their sales satisfaction rated in this year's study, courtesy of J.D. Power and Associates. To improve the dealer experience even more, I recommend starting with the

Reading Aloud In Wilmington, Del.
Originally published on Sun November 25, 2012 11:15 am
Read Aloud Delaware — headed by Executive Director Mary Hirschbiel and more than 800 volunteers — is making a noticeable impact in Wilmington.
When you read to the same children time and again, Mary says, "you see changes in their vocabulary, their ability to answer in complete sentences, and gradually the ability to have a conversation."
Quick story: After weeks of waiting for a volunteer to read aloud to her, a young girl got her chance. It was her fourth birthday and the girl said that being read to was her "birthday wish."
Joseph Dewson III is a freelance writer in Newark, Del. He listens to WXPN.

Have received many compliments as looking very expensive. No one believes when I tell them what I paid for it. Great watch at a great price.
This is a very nice looking watch that looks far more expensive than it is. However due to the color of the face and numbers and the fact that the hand are not luminous it is very hard to read the time in low light.
I bought this as an alternate color dress watch to one that I already have. This one has a larger face and is just as elegant as my other, even though this costs a fraction. i have bought other lower cost casual watches from Overstock and have never been disappointed.
The watch did not work properly. when called ,overstock said they would send instructions as to shipping information and a shipping label to use on box when shippin back to them. This information or label has yet to be sent.
The watch was just what I wanted. I have small wrists and had to have some links removed but other than that, it was perfect.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU offensive coordinator Mike Norvell in line for head coaching job?
Every year about 25 FBS teams are looking for a new head coach.
Sometimes those looking for a new coach will pluck an established one from another program. Sometimes they'll hire a retread who has bounced around the country. And of course, there's always the hot coordinators who get their chance to sit in the big chair and lead a program.
Arizona State offensive coordinator Mike Norvell might be one of the men who falls into the final category in the very near future. Jeremy Fowler of CBSSports.com has Norvell on his list of 10 coordinators who might be head coaches in 2014.
He has already added titles, from offensive coordinator to deputy head coach. Why not add something else in December? Norvell is a highly skilled playcaller.
Norvell, 32, is heading into his fourth season as an offensive coordinator. The first came in 2011 under Todd Graham at Pittsburgh before following the head coach to Tempe. Last season, his Sun Devils ranked 10th in the nation in scoring offense (39.7 points per game) and 32nd in total offense (457.3 yards per game.)
The return of quarterback Taylor Kelly, running back D.J. Foster, wide receiver Jaelen Strong and three-fifths of last year's offensive line should do nothing to hurt Norvell's stock as an up-and-comer to watch this season.

Aloe polyphylla, Sowing
Hello All. I purchased Aloe polyphylla seeds from an Ebay seller. They arrived.
Directions were included. One suggestion is:
Sowing in Water.
Fill a clean jar with tap water. Put in seeds. Close lid, etc, etc.
Has anyone sown Aloe seeds in water? If so, does it work? There's only a few seeds in the packet, I don't want them to rot or die.
There's also traditional germination, sowing in soil. With directions, eg, type of soils, etc.
Has anyone sown these seeds, and if so, which route did you go?
Is one way faster than the other? Also, is Aloe polyphylla a slow-growing succulent?
Any other information is welcome. Thanks, Toni
I would sow them directly in about 50/50 soil to perlite (there are 100 different mixtures but this is an easy one that will work) and cover with about 1/8" of sand. I would keep them in a warm place ( a windowsill can be a good spot) and keep them moist. I squirt mine down twice a day when its warm and once a day if its a little cooler. Keep them moist through their adolescence but never waterlogged. I also suggest very light fertilizing after about two or three months. I would sow them in 2" pots or something similar and do several to a pot. I will be honest, I love aloes and grow many different varieties and the only one I have killed two of is polyphylla. I bet they are not as tricky as seedlings but as adults I have put a couple through some hard times.
Good for you for planting these beauties and I wish you the best of luck.
Steelplayer, thanks much. I'm out of sand, but the seller included a small bag of Cedar Chips that he, himself uses on top of germination soil/medium when sowing.
I don't know if you'll reread this thread, but you said the only Aloe you killed is polyphylla. Do you know what went wrong? And did the seedlings or adult plants die?
One more thing. I got 5 seeds. You said to pot several seeds in one, 2" pot. If by chance they germinate, won't the pot be tight-fitting? Thanks again, Toni
I wouldn't use the enclosed cedar chips - why would the seller suggest you use something that's not good for the seed to start in?
This seems like a reasonable set of instructions for germinating your seeds - don't make it more complicated that it needs to be (it isn't), but cedar chips? Definitely if you're raising hamsters, not at all with Aloes.
Here is a link that might be useful: Interwebus Aloe seed tips not from Ebay
The plants I killed were 8" in diameter and 4" in diameter. They both rotted under pretty dry conditions but apparently not dry enough. I currently have two small seedling size plants that seem to be in a state of suspended animation. I do know that these plants come from a high elevation that is often time very cold and I live in a generally warm climate. Also I would encourage you to keep water out of the rosette and even plant at an angle as if the plant were growing on a hillside which I think is also true to their habitat. I suspect with the best of care you will have something that resembles a young Aloe polyphylla in about a year or so. I have never grown this Aloe from seed but I have grown many others and Aloes are just slow growing generally. As for the pot size, they will not be crowded for a long long time. You can certainly put them in their own pot but I recommend small pot size because it is much easier to control the watering. Good luck to you
Cactus, you are too funny..for hamsters. lolol.
I don't know why he/she included the chips, but the bag is very tiny, I wonder if adding would make a difference. lol.
Thanks for the link. I had no idea Aloes attracted ants/aphids. Aphids infest many plants, but I'm curious if Aloe itself attracts ants. If they do, why?
The link mentioned using a plastic tray as a cover. Now this baffles me. Hmm.
Steelplayer. I like the fact you researed Aloe poly's habitat.
Mind if I ask how long you had the 4 and 8" Aloes before they passed away?
It's been a while since I sowed seeds, but I never used large containers for seeds.
Actually, I've had the best luck sowing in a very shallow, '4-5" Diameter x 2.5" height,' clay pot..It resembles a saucer, but has drainage holes. I have a larger pot, same type, I propagated a broken variegated Yucca cluster--over winter. By spring, roots were fully formed.
These pots work great for succulents. Seeds and cuttings.
Because of problems here at home, my Aloe seeds, 'wrapped in heavy plastic,' are still sitting in their package. Hope they're still fresh. Who knows the length of time seeds sit on a shelf before selling.
Other seeds, 'annuals/perrenials,' includes a marked expiration date on packets; unfortunately these don't.
Thanks again for all your help. Cactus, keep up the humor..lol. Steel, I hope your babies do well. Toni
The standard cactus germination/rearing method works well for aloe polyphylla. In habitat they live on a several foot layer of gravel on bedrock where water seeps at the bottom of the gravel (on the bedrock) year-round. They need a very well drained substrate like 90% turface, and it needs to be continuously moist. They also dislike heat, I put mine in the shade if it will be over 90'F outside. They get pale and wilt a bit if they get too hot. Some websites claim that they hate to be hot and wet, but in reality they just drown quickly when hot, they still like to be moist as long as the roots can breathe. Too little water will result in withered leaf tips.
Last winter, my A. P. survived a 25'F frost after a rain that left a solid 'waffle' of ice in it's crown.
Promethean. Since I'm discussing sowing, setting the seeds in 'flat' surfaces is okay, right?
I've read how they grow in their natural habitat when mature, but the seeds are in a container, indoors.
Also, my main concern is getting started..from seed until germination. In other words, even though young/mature specimens prefer cooler temps, does the same apply to seedlings? I have a perfect room, 'very cool, some spots cold' w/whatever sun we get, and artificial light. If seeds need cool temps to germinate, it's not a problem.
So, are you saying, seeds need cool/cold before they'd sprout?
I had no idea an Aloe could be so difficult. lol. Toni
No, they don't need cold or stratification, room temp and moist with a very well drained substrate will do. I germinated mine in 2oz takeout containers half filled with turface, under a florescent light (like I do most other C&S). It took a couple weeks for them to come up.
Prom. That's a great idea. Under artificial light plus some obstructed, 'plants' south window. Spot isn't too hot, too cold, it's just right. Or as cactus would say, courtesy of 'The Three Bears.' But serioulsy, average temp. Thanks.
Cactus, lol..We'll see how it goes..if/when they germinate, I'll snap pics. Hopefully, I'm still on earth when mature enough to appreicate. Toni
That's a coincidence you write that - I just saw my first black bear of 2010 last night, past the time they're usually dormant. Plenty of signs this year of the bear highway here still in use, but no actual fuzzy bear on the move until last night. Our dog was going ape.#2!, as she usually does with an ursine presence is detected.
Hi,I new here,but I wanted to share my Experience and I got seeds from same seller at ebay.Andrea*seeds,It makes sense use the stratification process,because Aloe Poly live in High elevation were cold and snow are present,They get this naturally in the wild, lying on the ground, being half buried by fallen leaves, the digging of animals, and frost heave. Without this period of cold and wet, certain seeds, won't germinate at all. Instead, they continue to wait inside their shells, asleep.
I have try several forms to germinate this seeds stratification (usually just called stratification or cold stratification)is this was the only one that work for me I have pictures of my seedling with a high germination from this seller. There are six methods of cold moist stratification to choose from: cold water soaking, refrigeration, fall planting, winter/solstice sowing, outdoor treatment, and snow planting. The one that I use was the refriration,I've gotten so reliant on this method that I've forgotten that previously everyone simply planted seeds that need cold stratification outside once it got cold in the fall,For the cedar chips included at the pack,Its well know the ability to repel insects,and a lot of people like me use them as and insecticide for the young seedling since chinosol or other insecticides are not safe for the young ones,in my personal opinion,I don't mix with the soil,just sprinkle over once seeds germinate and are out of the germination box,is safer,when seedling are a litlle stronger regular insecticide will be ok. A bonus to using cedar is that it breaks down over time, and adds some nutrients to your soil. It doesn't hurt to use it,Hope this help,and happy growing!!!
Do any of the early posters on this string have updates of their experiences with a.p? I'm getting seeds in a few weeks and would appreciate any practical advice. I thought I had true a.p. seeds last year, but apparently they weren't. I posted details here recently, and the new seeds are from a respected dealer in South Africa, so I'm hopeful. I found an article that has been very helpful, and hopefully I'm not too much of a caveman to include it here.
Rick in CT
Here is a link that might be useful: aloe polyphylla culture.
It also purchased Aloe spiral seeds from a seller on Ebay. Mine started sprouting after only 5 days! My question is how big do they need to get before I put them in pots? They are still at the very tiny and delicate stage and I am quite excited I have them sprouting at least. I just placed the seeds on sand, covered the container with a clear lid and placed them on a sunny window will. I set the container on the table at night to avoid any cold air maybe coming in the window at night.
Be careful of direct sun on new seedlings in general. If the container is sealed with a cover they can quickly fry in the sun.
You can wait until the seedlings are an inch or two wide to repot them. I hate to admit I have seedlings that are much larger, and still waiting to be repotted. I suggest using a clay pot that is larger than you think you need.
Keep us posted!

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Shoppers in Hungary will soon have a better convenience in bill paying thanks to the new and enhanced mobile payment service from Cellum Group and based on the IBM (NYSE:IBM) Flex System. Cellum is the largest provider of m-payment solutions in Hungary, with more than a million mobile payment transactions per month and significant growth in the total numbers of customers using their services.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
Cellum Group offers m-payment solutions for any type of mobile phone and has one of the largest portfolios of user applications available. Services range from the re-charging of pre-paid mobile accounts, bill payment, e-commerce checkout, m-commerce for retail, and transfer of funds from one account to another. According to Jeff McAllister, SVP Sales for Cellum, twelve percent of Hungarian mobile subscribers currently use their cell phones at least twice a week to pay for services including; parking fees, highway tolls, and lottery tickets.
The number of consumers using mobile devices to visit retail sites and make purchases is a growing global trend, with recent statistics from IBM indicating just how digital shoppers are becoming. For example, during the recent "Black Friday" shopping period, mobile purchases soared with 24 percent of consumers using a mobile device to visit a retailer's site, up from 14.3 percent in 2011. Mobile sales exceeded 16 percent, up from 9.8 percent in 2011. [1]
"Service providers and retailers are starting to realize that new m-payment solutions can make shopping much more convenient given there are enough accepting points of sale and the payments are secure," said Balazs Inotay, Chief Strategy Officer of Cellum Global. "Mobile payments actually represent a new sales channel that combines payment, shopping and loyalty in the same package. Retailers can target customers and promote goods and services as the codes in the catalogues lead directly to the online shop."
To take advantage of this opportunity and be able to handle the increasing number of Hungarian mobile users demanding one-click payment applications from their cell phones, Cellum needed to upgrade its IT infrastructure. Working with Business Partner USER Rendszerhaz, IBM designed and implemented a system built on IBM Flex System.
"The IBM Flex System provides the security, flexibility and integration capabilities that will help Cellum Group introduce more efficient m-payment solutions while lowering payment processing costs," said Zsolt Veres, Country General Manager, IBM Hungary. "This system provides the infrastructure for Cellum to rapidly deliver additional m-payment applications and bring new mobile innovations to Hungarian consumers."
Cellum Group plans to launch its enhanced m-payment services for its subscribers in Hungary in January 2013, with similar services soon to be launched in Bulgaria, Albania and Austria.
The IBM Flex System goes beyond competitor's blade configurations and provides the building-block elements for IBM PureSystems. IBM Flex Systems are built-to-order offerings for clients who want to custom build and tune configurations to their specific requirements. This allows them to select the specific compute, systems networking and optional storage and management required to support their specific workloads.
The IBM PureSystems family offers clients an alternative to current enterprise computing models, where multiple and disparate systems require significant resources to set up and maintain. PureFlex System enables organizations to more efficiently create and manage an infrastructure. PureApplication System helps organizations reduce the cost and complexity of rapidly deploying and managing applications. PureData System is tuned for cloud computing and can consolidate more than 100 databases on a single system. In addition to the common web application patterns supported by PureApplication System, the combination of both PureData and PureApplication Systems can be used for end to end transaction workloads.
For IBM Business Partners, PureSystems creates a new services opportunity to help clients solve the complexity of enterprise IT, reduce costs and encourage innovation. From resellers to distributors and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), more than 2500 Business Partners have received PureSystems certifications. PureSystems currently run tens of thousands of existing ISV applications across four operating environments including Windows, Linux, AIX, and IBM i operating system. Additionally, Business Partners have created more than 250 new solutions and applications that are optimized to run on PureSystems. These patterns of expertise, which span 20 industries, can be accessed through the IBM PureSystems Centre. They include leading solutions from some of the world's largest ISVs, including ERP systems and applications for the banking, marketing, healthcare and energy industries. Additionally, partners are able to perform many of the configuration and deployment services that previously came only from IBM and are optional and optionally available to be performed by qualified business partners.
To help address the new opportunity that PureSystems presents, IBM is also providing training, marketing, certifications and technical validation support to its Business Partners. For instance, dozens of IBM Innovation Centers in cities such as Bangalore, Dublin, Johannesburg and Shanghai are helping Business Partners develop and test their applications using IBM PureSystems. Business Partners can also bring their clients to IBM Innovation Centers to see PureSystems technology at work.

Olympics: Wrestling
Watch: 'The Flying Squirrel'
Ellis Coleman talks about completing "The Flying Squirrel" during Greco-Roman Junior World Championships:
Wrestling champ Cejudo splits with coach
But Cejudo won't be preparing for the London Games with Terry Brands, who was USA Wrestling's national freestyle resident coach in Colorado Springs, Colo., when Cejudo was training for Beijing. Cejudo had planned to move to Iowa to reunite with Brands, but he said Tuesday that the two clashed over the star wrestler's many sponsor commitments.
Cejudo is splitting time between Colorado Springs with U.S. national freestyle coach Zeke Jones and his hometown of Phoenix with his trainer, former Washington Redskins defensive back Brian Davis.
At 21, Cejudo became the youngest American to capture an Olympic wrestling gold medal when he won the freestyle 55-kilogram division in 2008, but his mother was unable to travel to Beijing.
Olympian Rulon Gardner wants to lose
With so many folks hitting the treadmills and elliptical machines this week, energized by New Year's resolutions, it seems only fitting to start 2011 with a dieting tale of Olympic proportions.
It's been more than 10 years since Rulon Gardner did a surprisingly agile cartwheel to celebrate his stunning victory over Alexander Karelin in the Greco-Roman wrestling championship match at the Sydney Olympics. The former University of Nebraska All-American, who grew up milking cows on a Wyoming dairy farm, handed the Russian his first international defeat in 13 years.
In 2004, Gardner won a bronze medal in Athens and left his shoes in the middle of the mat in the wrestler's traditional farewell. He headed off to a career of motivational speaking and, apparently, reckless eating.
Gardner has survived a lot before and since then -- a childhood bow-and-arrow impaling; motorcycle and plane crashes; a snowmobile accident that led to frostbite and a partial toe amputation; and on a personal front, three divorces.
Now 39, Gardner may have seemed immortal, but his family and friends feared for his health as he ballooned to 474 pounds, 210 pounds over his fighting weight. He told the Salt Lake Tribune that his tipping point came in June as he sat in a hotel room chowing down on his second dinner of the night and watching a report on his induction into the U.S. Wrestling Hall of Fame.
"I said, 'Holy Cow, this is truly embarrassing,'" Gardner, who lives in Logan, Utah, told the newspaper in an interview published over the weekend.
Late last year, Gardner auditioned for and earned a slot on the NBC reality show "The Biggest Loser," where the winner takes home a $250,000 prize. The show's new season begins Tuesday. Gardner is competing in tandem with his longtime friend Justin Pope, a health club owner and former schoolboy rival.
"Ultimately, it's about taking some responsibility and not making excuses like I've made the last six years,'' Gardner told the Salt Lake Tribune.
How many of us can relate to that? Good luck, and lighten up.
