bigblock 5pts Ive driven a number of new Sonata limited turbos. They drive exceptionally well. I know styling is a personal thing, but I like the styling. Upon close examination of fit and finish the Sonata is as good as the best rated Honda and Toyota. Where Hyundai seems to be lacking is in dealer service and comparable durability. Had 2 friends claim the lemon law on 2010 Sonatas. Dealers could not fix the constant steering wheel pull to the left, multiple suspension problems and car computer going into safety mode, limiting its drive-ability. Also , here in Florida , both Hyundai and partner KIA have offered stripped down base models for $149.00 / month lease. This kind of thing really lowers resale /trade-in value. I think its like growing pains. I would negotiate a good lease price and if I had a good car, do the buy out. Thanks-- bigblock
K-O-30 5pts The Sonata is a nice car. The problem is that is still not in the same level as the Mazda6, Ford Fusion or even its brother, the Kia Optima.
ThrottleBlip 5pts I hope figures on the base engine are wrong, otherwise this car makes less power than the 2013 model. Epic fail.
hamby9212 5pts Very subtle changes...not really what I expected. I know Hyundai probably has a class killing next gen waiting around the corner though. The Sonata is a well built car and much like the rest of it's class is very competitive except the new Malibu....I'm sure it has a nice personality. The Sonata was the class leader by CR's tests so I imagine they probably didn't want to change it too much.
mynamehere 5pts Hyundai's been doing really good with refreshes(i.e. Genesis) recently but this Sonata seems out of the trend. Too subtle. So when's the next generation coming around?
btc909 5pts The sloping roof line makes it a PITA to get into the back seat. Interior seems overly dark like a Mazda 6. I checked out a 2012, it was alright, nothing I would have bought. The first gen Sonata Hybrid was a disaster. Was the wandering steering issue ever fixed circa 2011?
mopar_srt 5pts The Sonata is posting 2nd worse year over year sales, only ahead of the pre-emergency refresh Malibu. And this half-hearted freshening won't fix this. Hyundai had better have a major hit on this next one.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts The current Sonata is a prime example of why boring styling beats trying too hard to be stylish and "new". While initially a hit, sales numbers have fallen as the new quickly wore off.Here's hoping Hyundai gets back to their old, winning formula with the next Sonata, offering a stylish but slightly anonymous sedan that performs well, is reliable and offers a lot of features for the money
N/A 5pts The 2015 Sonata is literally right around the corner. It's been caught testing multiple times.
bdean 5pts @btc909 Um, there are other color choices for the interior. And yes, the hybrid was much improved for its 2nd year.
bdean 5pts @srt_charga The Sonata is the oldest entrant in the mainstream, midsize segment and besides, Hyundai shifted production to the newer Elantra so it's not like Hyundai has all these Sonatas to sell.The next-gen Sonata is due out next year, so this refresh is a bit late to the game.
civilian90025 5pts dont forget how far they have come already. their cars used to be laughed at. no longer today
Bruce Wells 5pts @srt_charga The poorer sales have nothing to do with its styling .. drive one and you'll know why sales are falling off
Crim13 5pts @92Vectra1.6i Looking at the 2013 and 2014 back to back, they literally look the same. Which, as you and I agree, is a good thing. About the only thing I noticed is that they placed the reverse lights on the bottom of the taillight housing.
usher401 5pts @subtleshading Hyundai copied the Mercedes CLS design which came out in 2004, so it's safe to say that Hyundai has done a lot more than just take note. Hyundai has copied a ton.
mopar_srt 5pts This car is only 3 yrs old, the Passat and Camry only 2. Why it seems like an eternity for the Sonata is mystifying. But some of blame has to be on Hyundai as the exterior of this car has not received any substantial updating since new. In todays marketplace, that is considered suicide. Especially when the Sonata is as extroverted in styling as this model. And taking in the paltry sales of the very similarly styled Azera, and it is easy to see Hyundai needs to strategize a different path.
mopar_srt 5pts Not a bad looking car, but the Fusion is now the king of swoopy. The Hyundai is industrial looking in comparison. And you are right. The Hyundai is competent, but a Fusion, Accord, or Passat will make it seem far more pedestrian.
bdean 5pts @usher401 @subtleshading That's a common misconception of those aesthetically challenged, not to mention those who have it out for Hyundai.The Sonata's roofline/greenhouse is more like that of the Audi A6, just a stretched version of it (the Ford 500/Taurus had a roofline/greenhouse that was near identical to the A6 and the Jaguar XJ is like an even more stretched version of the Sonatas - funny how people don't harp on those).The automaker that DID copy the CLS roofllne/greenhouse almost to the T was VW with the Passat CC - hence commonly referred to as "Carbon Copy" in design circles.And it's not like other automakers haven't had their share of copying Hyundai.Hyundai popularized the oversized, hexagonal grill that so many automakers are using today.Hyundai started the "surfacing" treatment on grill slats which Chrysler ran with. They also were among the 1st to place the headlight casing along the side and not intruding onto the hoodline which is also popular today - now, even on Mercedes. That, along with the flame surfacing (which was started by Bangle) that Mercedes has been implementing makes their latest designs closer to Hyundai than to their rivals. Honda and Opel copied the "window dip" (that's found on the Genesis coupe).
ALF- Gordon Shumway 5pts @usher401 @subtleshading And Mercedes coppied the droppy ass from the Infiniti J30.
N/A 5pts @usher401 @subtleshading I'll respond to you with the same thing I say to all the other idiots that spew this nonsense; If the Sonata is a copy of the CLS, what do you call the Volkswagen CC, BMW 6 Series and Audi A7?Oh and that's excusing the fact that the taillights on the Sonata(you know, the thing the poster actually commented on) looks nothing like the taillights of the CLS.
bdean 5pts @srt_charga The YF Sonata was launched in the US in the 1st Q of 2010, so it is entering into its 5th year in the US (went on sale in Korea in 2009).Otherwise, it would make little sense for Hyundai to launch the next gen model in 2014.
mopar_srt 5pts Maybe I should elaborate more. Most people buy the Sonaa based on looks. But now with lookers such as the Fusion and Mazda 6 taking the crown in the styling dept, the Sonata doesn't have nearly the impact it did in 2011.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts @srt_charga The new Fusion is far more impressive in pictures and from a distance than it is in person. I was disappointed by the experience of going along on a Fusion test drive. The interior didn't seem as nice as the Mondeos I rode in and drove in Germany and I already knew the Mondeo and now Fusion drives like a larger car than the Mazda 6 based original Fusion (I realize that's a big selling point for many people, but not so much for me) and is kind of confused, sharing sports car styling with a luxury car driving experience. I'm also not convinced at all that the 1.6 / 1.5 liter EcoBoost is a good long term bet pulling such a heavy load and would recommend potential buyers get the standard 2.5 liter NA or the 2.0 liter EcoBoost. My Sister has owned three Fusions and was so unimpressed with the new one she bought a new (2.5 liter because she's smart) Escape
bdean 5pts @21sampsonWarrior @N/A Um, there's a reason why the CC is commonly referred to as "Carbon Copy" in automotive design circles.
21sampsonWarrior 5pts @N/A I think you're the idiot if you haven't realized that the Hyundai Sonata completely copied the body shape of the Mercedes CLS. Hyundai copied those banana-shaped curves on the side, the chrome grille, the aggressive headlights, the sloped roof, the sloped decklid, and the sleek window shape are all copied by Hyundai, as usual. Do you have eyes or are you blind that you cannot see what everyone else can clearly see?? And wtf the 6 series and A7 are boring and look more like hatchbacks than sleek coupes. The CC is close, but not as close as the Sonata is. Hyundai has no shame.

It was inevitable that once recent scientific studies confirmed the dangers of conventional "hormone replacement therapy" (HRT) − Premarin ® + Provera ® and the combination of these drugs (Prempro ® ) − women who developed deadly conditions, such as breast cancer, heart disease, and strokes after using them to ease their transition through menopause, would begin to look for just compensation from their manufacturer Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. As occurred in recent years with the painkiller Vioxx ® − shown to increase the risk of heart attacks − and its manufacturer Merck, the lawsuits against Wyeth (recently bought out by Big Pharma behemoth Pfizer), have begun piling up. According to one recent report, Wyeth/Pfizer is now fighting more than 9,000 lawsuits from women claiming these drugs were responsible for their endangering their lives. In one recently settled case, a jury decided the company should pay $3.7 million to a woman who developed breast cancer after Prempro use. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601202&sid=a1TkP17TBH50 This is why women need to be taught about BHRT (bioidentical hormone therapy) and discover how it can change your life. |

SIR Elton John enjoys his legendary music career, but insists he'd be just as happy working in a record store.
The ROCKET MAN believes he would never have been out of work had he not shot to fame as a singer, because music shops would welcome a passionate music lover like himself.
He says, "I'm a bit of an anorak when it comes to CDs, so probably I would have worked in a CD store.
"I know so many record stores all over the world like the back of my hand because I frequent them so often, so I would have probably found a job somewhere."

Definition: The phrase that people use when saying a ridiculously embarrassing story about something that happened to to them. To save themselves from total humiliation they say "it happened to a friend of mine".
Example: George: God, I am so embarrassed, I can't believe Stacy found out I was cheating with her. Bill: Don't worry, at least you didn't cheat on her with what you thought was her sister but turned out to be her fat brother. George: huh? Bill: It happened to a friend of mine...

While I was on my way to car show out in Kingston, I came across this big chair and bedroom set in Hoosick, located at a furniture store. It caught my attention so much I had to turn around and take pictures.
No idea how big the chair is exactly. i would roughly say 12 feet tall. Its not in the rankings of the big chair race but its still a nice find. And the bed room set well that was just a awesome touch to the site itself.

What about the advice that writers must write every day? I say, no. And, maybe. And sometimes, yes.
2 comments:
- Anthony Haynes said...
Good post on a good topic! This comes up a lot when I run courses on writing. My own view is the idea that writing should be habitual is helpful - but that needn't equate with every day. Some habits are daily (at least)- such as brushing your teeth (which is the analogy Jean Bolker uses, if memory serves me right). But others aren't: I go swimming regularly, but not EVERY day. The write-every-day idea I find incompatible with the demands of family life.

Bill Gates talks bald facts with Stanford students

Right on Bill, too much money is spent on baldness.
If baldness was a thing that affected more women than men, only a fraction of the money now spent on it would be spent and much more on more worthwhile medical research. How about all these "cures" donating $1 of each sale to breast cancer research?
a resident of Midtown
on Feb 22, 2008 at 4:21 am
I recall another time when Gates addressed an assembly at Stanford. He told the Homebrew Computer Club that, if we wanted him to continue developing software, we had to stop stealing it. That intellectual property argument is still alive today.

"If baldness was a thing that affected more women than men, only a fraction of the money now spent on it would be spent"
Doubtful. Cosmetics? Breast cancer vs. prostate cancer spending?
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Feb 22, 2008 at 9:32 am
Sorry, you are right. I meant the money spent on research into baldness which I think is what Bill was speaking of. I agree that women spend a horrendous amount on cosmetics. But, we do hear that cosmetics companies are getting better at not doing research on animals. I wonder if the same could be said by those doing research into baldness.
It also seems to me that although there are still a lot of men who are paying large amounts of money to prevent their hairloss, there is also the current trend of many balding men just to shave off all their hair to look better. Howie Mendell, among others, comes to mind.
a resident of Charleston Meadows
on Aug 9, 2010 at 11:12 am
I'm sorry, but I find Bill Gates' comments about baldness to be ignorant and offensive. He's older than dirt and has a full head of hair, what the hell would he know about what it's like to go bald? This is a problem that seriously affects a person's self-esteem and self-image. Especially for women. A lot of women have become suicidal over losing their hair. Obviously deadly diseases are more important, but there's no reason to act like baldness isn't a problem that deserves attention. I don't have a ton of sympathy for older people who are losing their hair, to be honest, but when it happens to teenagers and people in their 20s (which it does more often than you think) it really REALLY sucks. So I think Bill Gates needs to STFU and think about what he's saying before he says it.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Make sure that your paypal account has been upgraded to a business/merchant account. And list small. Try listing the mice and keyboards. Don't list everything at once. It's been so long, I don't even remember what the limit was...but I remember there was one, because I created an eBay account to sell iPhones. And they wouldn't let me sell too many of them. I think it was one a week or something. Also had to put in multiple requests to Paypal so that they'd remove the hold that was automatically placed on received payments. You're best bet is to take it slow. List smaller items, and build up your feedback. Make sure you don't do a lot at once because if you get claims/bad feedback for multiple items all at once, you're most definitely be suspended. How much feedback do you have? Good Luck! Rep unto others as you would have them Rep unto you.
I've only used ebay to buy cheap books for college classes, so my feedback is like 6 (lol). i have managed to sell 3 items though. |

- Leather Hand Strap Packaging
- The hand strap is part of a series of leather camera accessories. They are all packed in simple boxes with a very consistent design. We wanted to give a little variety to the always cubic box shapes. So we made this one obelisk shaped in reference to the Egyptian leather.
The "Camera Leather Hand Strap", including its packaging, is a product of the Lomographic Society International. It has been developed by the in-house design team. My part was doing structural packaging design, the product illustration and the final artwork.

During my internship there I was never once asked to get coffee or scan something. From day one I was put to work and was treated like any other employee. They recognize achievements and are personal enough to remember Birthdays, anniversaries with the company, and have a very fun loving atmosphere as long as you are able to get your work done first.
If you can not learn with the sink or swim method then it will be hard to get your feet wet at all.
Advice to Management
There is some lack with the knowledge of some systems when it comes to training those who do not know and it should be addressed.

The following patch adds a configurable delimiter to the action "Pass ids as arguments to a page (views_bulk_operations_argument_selector_action)".
For security I have limited the options to a select list of a comma (,) and plus (+) for use with the views contextual filters (AND / OR respectively). I chose to make it a select list for security, but it could easily be extended with more delimiters or a text field for any value.
Please review, thanks.

Here's a very similar approach I implemented (without having seen this post). It uses a text field allowing for any character to be used as a separator, and it uses the term separator rather than delimiter. The default is a comma.
I can't test the patch, as when I'm exporting, I'm redirected to the following URL:
This happens with and without patch, it seems that something is not encoded correctly.
Any clues?

@kenorb you might have to change the contextual filters of your export view and validate the ids seperated by , or +. This probably fixes your encoding issue...

Spring Valley was founded in 1884 in the heart of the coal fields of Northern Illinois for the express purpose of mining of coal.
The building of Spring Valley was the enterprise of Henry J. Miller, one of the first settlers of this area, and his son-in-law, Charles J. Devlin. They conceived the idea of establishing a coal metropolis, in the Valley and on the slopes of the bluffs bordering Spring Creek, in the southeastern corner of Bureau County.
They acquired the mineral rights of 5,000 acres and purchased 500 acres on which to build the town. They secured the financial aid and cooperation of coal and railroad capitalists, E.N. Saunders of St. Paul, MN, a director of the Chicago and North Western railroad, Mr. Taylor of "What Cheer," IA, and W.L. Scott of Erie, PA. Scott was a United Stated Senator from Pennsylvania during the administration of President Cleveland.
Two companies were formed, the Spring Valley Coal Company and the Spring Valley Townsite Co. Backed by the almost unlimited resources of the coal barons, these two companies spent over 2 1/2 million dollars in less than four years in the building of the town.
The boring of the mine commenced in 1884 and the town surveyed and platted.
Spring Valley was a boom town, its growth was so rapid that it was called the "Magic City." In less than four years, by 1888, the Chicago North Western railroad had laid a line from DeKalb, IL, four mines had been sunk and the town had 3,000 people. It was brawling, boisterous place and was to remain so, more or less, until completion from the Southern Illinois coal fields forced the mine to close in late 1927. The town had gained a hard name, but had a cultural side too.
Spring Valley like every other coal town came to know almost every nationality in Europe. These people came from LaSalle, Peru, Braidwood, Braceville and all mining camps of Northern Illinois. The English, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, and Cornish from the Coal fields of Great Britain, from Northern France and Belgium. Polish, and Germans, Swedes and Lithuanians from opposite shores of the Baltic Sea, Slavish peasants from Central Europe and immigrants from sunny Italy. Many arriving here attired in their native dress tagged and ticketed from their port of entry. The town also developed a colored section known as the "Location." In 1905, the Bureau County Republican Newspaper stated that there were 32 distinct nationalities groups in Spring Valley.
The above link is an article written on Spring Valley, and gives the reader
an idea of what conditions were like........as well as some dates of interest.

Another year, another list of billionaires. But their wealth-making secret hasn't changed. Entrepreneurship remains the surest path to riches.
Oh to be an owner
Especially now. Of all the changes to Forbes' list of the nation's 400 richest, most notable is the northward march of the Google twins. Sergey Brin and Larry Page are now ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, while the heirs to Sam Walton's fortune from Wal-Mart have fallen from the top 10.
Let's look, once again, at that top 10. How many entrepreneurs are there? Six! Microsoft's Bill Gates is first, Oracle's Larry Ellison is fourth, and Dell's Michael Dell is eighth. Real estate mogul Sheldon Adelson, whose fortune is comprised mostly of stock in Las Vegas Sands, remains in third.
Dozens more owners can be found among the remaining 390. For example, Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN ) founder Jeff Bezos and his $8.7 billion stockpile rank 35th. Apartment accumulator Alan Casden is 239th with a $2.0 billion fortune, much of it acquired after a 2002 property sale to Apartment Investment & Management (NYSE: AIV ) . Filmmaker and DreamWorks Animation (NYSE: DWA ) co-founder Steven Spielberg has $3.0 billion and ranks 117th. And Wesley Edens, who helped build the walls that today surround Fortress Investment Group (NYSE: FIG ) , is 297th and worth $1.6 billion.
Invest with owners
Feeling envious? I don't blame you. Wouldn't it be great if we were all billionaires, unencumbered by the need for money? Of course it would be. But that's not how the world works.
Still, I find it reassuring that, as rich as Gates is, the bulk of his wealth comes from staying invested in the company that brought him to the billionaires' ball. Why? Because anyone with a brokerage account could have enjoyed similar percentage gains.
In fact, many did. So great is the story of Microsoft's ability to generate wealth that it has a name -- the uprising of the so-called Microsoft millionaires. At least hundreds of them must still exist. A $1,000 investment in Mr. Softy at the dawn of 1990, four years after his debut on the Nasdaq, would be worth roughly $60,000 today.
Searching for the next Microsoft
That's why Motley Fool Hidden Gems co-advisors Tom Gardner and Bill Mann focus on the stocks of up-and-coming firms in which the managers own a significant stake. Some of their best performers still feature meaningful insider ownership.
Consider Chipotle (NYSE: CMG-B ) . Last January, Bill recommended the burrito baron's B shares to subscribers and it's been one of the market's rare outperformers since. Yet Fools weren't the only ones to profit -- insiders still own more than 4% of the business.
So, don't envy the billionaire owners. Invest alongside them. They're the ones who really have the best chance to create the next Microsoft -- and make you millions in the process. Want help identifying promising prospects? Click here to join Hidden Gems free for 30 days.

Easy access accounts
By Rachel WaitIt's always a good idea to have some savings readily available in case of emergencies. Ideally, your 'rainy day' savings fund should amount to between three and six months' income, but any cash cushion is a good thing.
To get immediate access to your cash you will need an easy access account. Easy access accounts, sometimes known as no-notice or instant access accounts, enable you to make withdrawals at any time without having to let the bank or building society know in advance. They can usually be opened with just £1.
Setting up a direct debit from your current account into an easy access account is a great way to start building up your savings nest egg, especially if you've never saved before. To work out how much you can afford to pay in, take a look through a few recent bank statements and calculate how much you can put by of what's left after all your expenses have gone out.
If you don't want to commit to paying in monthly, you don't have to. You can simply contribute to your easy access account whenever you have money spare, making it the most flexible savings option out there.
Selecting your account
Because you can get your hands on your money whenever you want, returns offered on easy access accounts are not the best on the market. Rates can still vary though, so make sure you shop around for the best deal.
Online-only accounts tend to pay more because the provider has lower overheads and can pass on the savings in the form of higher returns. But it's still worth checking out accounts which can be operated by post, phone and – if you value face-to-face contact with your savings provider – in branches too. But if you do opt for a branch-based account, make sure that there is a branch local to you before signing up!
Easy access accounts almost always offer variable rates of interest which means the rate on your account can go up or down at any time. Remember that rates don't only move when the Bank of England changes the base rate, so keep an eye on the interest you're earning. If it no longer looks competitive though, it's easy to move your savings to a better account.
When you'll receive interest
Most easy access accounts pay interest annually, although some offer savers the option to receive interest monthly. This can be useful if you are looking to supplement your income.
Check the annual equivalent rate (AER) to see how much interest you'll earn. This shows you what the rate of interest is, taking into the effects of compounding. Compounding happens when the interest you've earned on your savings itself earns interest.
Easy access accounts are straightforward in so far as you can get your hands on your money whenever you need to...
If interest is paid monthly, the AER will be higher than the gross rate, which is the rate of interest you'll earn before tax is deducted. If interest is paid annually, both the AER and gross rate will be the same.
Check the small print
Easy access accounts are straightforward in so far as you can get your hands on your money whenever you need to, but there are still a few things to watch out for.
For example, while some accounts are marketed as easy access, they can limit the number of withdrawals you can make each year. If you exceed this number, then the rate of interest can plummet – so check for restrictions.
You might also be required to keep minimum balance in your account. Fall below this and your interest rate will drop – or your account could even be closed. There may also be a minimum or maximum amount you can withdraw at any one time.
Short-term bonuses are another thing to watch out for. While a rate may look tempting, closer inspection will reveal it includes an introductory bonus which disappears after, say a year or 18 months. Be prepared to move your money once the bonus disappears if you want to keep earning the best rates.
Also, if you are considering an account which includes a bonus in the rate, check to see whether it is variable or fixed. If it is fixed then you have peace of mind that the bonus can't drop during the bonus period, but if it is variable, then there is a risk that the bonus could reduce over time.
Savers who prefer not to have to move their money frequently may prefer an easy access account which don't include a bonus. However, it's just as important to keep an eye on how much interest you're earning, as returns could still fall.
Don't forget current accounts
Finally, these days it's worth looking at current accounts alongside easy access accounts as many actually pay higher rates on credit balances up to a certain limit. And, since September 2013 when the Current Account Switch Service was introduced, you can also now switch your current account with no hassle in seven working days.

Tests That Help Find Laryngeal Cancer There are two main tests your doctor may perform if he or she suspects you have laryngeal cancer: Indirect laryngoscopy. Using a small mirror with a long handle, the doctor looks down your throat. This lets him or her check to see whether your vocal cords move normally. The exam is painless. Still, your doctor may spray a local anesthetic on your throat to keep you from gagging. You may have this test in the doctor's office. Direct laryngoscopy. This test is done by an ear, nose, and throat specialist (otolaryngologist) or a head and neck surgeon. The doctor inserts a lighted tube called a laryngoscope through your nose or mouth. This lets the doctor see areas that cannot be seen with a simple mirror. You get a local anesthetic to ease discomfort or a mild sedative to help you relax. You may have this test in the doctor's office, an outpatient clinic, or a hospital. Sometimes, the doctor decides to perform this test in the operating room, using a general anesthetic to put you to sleep during the test. When you need a biopsy If the doctor finds abnormal areas of tissue, you'll need a biopsy. The biopsy shows if there is cancer in your larynx. During a biopsy, the doctor removes a piece of tissue while you are under local or general anesthetic. A pathologist then looks at the tissue under a microscope to check for cancer. If cancer exists, the pathologist can usually tell what type it is. Almost all cancer cells of the larynx are squamous cell carcinomas. Squamous cell cancer begins in the cells that line the epiglottis, vocal cords, and other parts of the larynx.

During the Thanksgiving and Christmas season we focus on giving and gratitude.
The gift of organ donation is not often a topic of conversation, but people should be aware that one donor can potentially save the lives of up to eight people.
More than 600 Hoosiers are on waiting lists for organ, tissue and eye donations, according to the Indiana Organ Procurement Organization.
Nationwide, more than 90,000 people are hoping to receive a life-saving transplant; sadly, it's estimated that 17 people die every day waiting for such a transplant.
The good news is that more than 25,000 lives were saved last year from the gift of organ donation.
If you are willing to be an organ donor when you die, discuss it now with your family and health professionals.
When you apply for or renew your driver's license, you will be asked if you'd like to become a donor. If you say "yes," a red heart will be printed on your license showing that you have agreed to become a donor.
For more information visit: organdonor.gov/about/data.html
Below are facts associated with organ donation from donatelifeindiana.org/get-the-facts/top-myths
• Organ, eye and tissue recovery happens only after all life-saving efforts have been exhausted and death has been legally declared.
• After organ and tissue donation the body is still presentable for a funeral or memorial service. Donated organs are surgically removed. Donation does not change the body's appearance.
• Everyone can register as a donor, regardless of medical history. Suitability to be a donor is determined at the time of death.
• It is illegal to buy and sell human organs in the United States. Registering as an organ, eye and tissue donor ensures your donations will be used ethically and given to those most in need of a transplant.
• Your family's information will never be released without their consent. Communication is carefully screened by the organ procurement organization.
• Ranking on the waiting list does not consider race, income or social status. Factors considered are blood type, medical urgency, geographic location, organ size, tissue match and time spent waiting.
• All major religions in the U.S. support organ, eye and tissue donation. Some leave it to personal choice; others encourage it and consider it a charitable act.
• The donor's family will not pay for the donation process. The organ, eye or tissue recipient is responsible for these costs.
Thousands of Hoosiers are able to celebrate this holiday season with their loved ones because of the foresight and generosity of people who made the decision to give the gift of life.
Hundreds more are waiting for that gift.

Troy Defense Pump AR15
Hi Everyone,
I am considering buying one of the Troy Defense Pump AR15 sport rifles and would like to hear quality impressions from current owners. Is it accurate? Is it easy to disassemble? Is it easy to clean? How good is Troy Defense's customer service? Any input will be greatly appreciated... |

Someone asked if I was buying this rifle because of local AWB restrictions. Unfortunately, yes. I live in a state that no longer allows law abiding citizens to purchase semiautomatic sporting rifles like the popular AR15. Therefore, this type of rifle is the only alternative we have to enjoy target shooting and fun time at the range.
I had a chance to inspect it at the LGS and it looks and feels pretty solid. The action is very nice and the craftsmanship is quite decent. The folding stock can be extended to meet shooters arm length. The trigger felt fine too. The folding front and rear sights are well built and the accessory rail is a plus. I think it would be a great range rifle. I was able to put it on lay-away for a very very low price after someone bought it new and traded it back after a week. The rifle is in like new condition, in the original box. No idea why the owner returned it. The store has sold a number of them without problems. Any comments???

Interesting. Never heard of it. Got a link? Pros & Cons relative to the Rem 7615 police?
I can tell you that a pump gives up VERY little in speed to a semi. You'd still have a good fighting rifle.

Well, I changed my mind and decided to wait a while before buying this type of pump AR15. After a lot of web searching I could not find enough information about the reliability and accuracy of the rifle.

It is a nice looking rifle. When you first described it; the mental image I got was of a piece of junk, but that is a good looking rifle.

No reason to believe any of the normal AR parts on the gun are of lesser quality than the self loading ones built by the same company. Troy has been around for awhile and their overall reputation for firearms is decent.
The actual mechanism simply substitutes a sliding fore end linked with an action rod connected to the bolt carrier. The bolt locks and unlocks same as any other AR. Nothing really reinvented or needs to be. Pump AR's have been a staple of ownership in Britain for a long time. They are likely going to be a big sellier where certain states prohibit features in combination with self loading actions, but have no prohibition when the action is manual. There are few reports at present simply because there have been few sold, and almost exclusively in "ban" states. Surfing the Calguns firearms forum might get more info. Troy isn't the only one making a pump AR, there are others entering the market. Manually cycling the AR bolt carrier isn't going to be materially different using a slide pump action rod vs the charging handle - which we already have known to be extremely reliable. |

Looks nifty
But I see no reason to dump my Remington 7615 for it. And yes I have semis. Actually I and the gentlemen I shoot with have so much fun with it, that I kept it even when I could've gotten over two grand during the last ban crisis. See no reason why this can't be as much fun.

It is a shame that we have to invent things like that. Thanks to Emperor Cuomo, those will probably do pretty well here in NY.
Why would they be priced that high though? There must be better options for those in ban states. I can't see paying that much for a rifle that, although it has a couple nifty features and the semblance of an AR, functions like any other pump rifle. |

Personally I think I would rather have a decent lever action. But I suppose that's nothing more than a subjective opinion. Is the pump action considered to be faster than a lever gun?

Not getting the point of that. What am I missing?
If you have to use a pump then get a better gun: 1. Get a shotgun or 2. Get a bolt action rifle with an AR style mag like Mossberg now has. More accurate, just as fast. 3. Best option. Move. |

In what way is a lever action the same speed as a pump? Reloads the same speed too?

Not necessarily a fan of this rifle, but comment like this are silly:
Personally, I would opt for the remington. I dont think you are getting more to spend the extra dough. The remington accepts the AR15 mags too.

It won't be as fast as a pump but it will be much more accurate.
If you're worried about short range why go with a 5.56? Get a nice twelve gauge. |

The biggest obstacle to buying a pump action AR would have to be that it would still attract unwanted attention.
In a state with anti-AR laws, the owner would probably be explaining themselves constantly - and hope the cops listened.

From watching the video, I like it. Looks to be a functional design, especially the folding stock and rails. That would make it appealing to the "BOB" crowd, backwoods hiking, home defense, etc. Put on some basic accessories, and your set. Would be nice to see it in .308, not a fan of the retail price though. I like the fact that an existing design was utilized in regards to the AR platform, they only had to re-engineer the front end.

But #1: Shotgun cannot do what a rifle can do, range wise. And the capacity is much greater with a rifle using STANAG mags. #2: A pump is materially faster than a turnbolt, even the fastest turnbolt (an SMLE). Semi>Pump>Lever>Turnbolt>Falling Block>Break Action. But more accurate, yes generally. In addition, a pump is more reliable than a semi... we may be talking a scant difference of 5 failures vs 8 failures in 5000 rounds or some such, but the ARE more reliable on average, than any semi, on average, espec. in dirty and cold conditions. And then you have the folding stock, which is a tiny thing, really, but there. This is intriguing to me and I'm not even in a commie state.
