The Government of Liberia (GOL) through the initiative of Senator Clarice Jah has dedicated a US$56,000.00 Children playground in Kakata City, Margibi County.
Speaking at the dedication program over the weekend, Vice President Joseph N. Boakai said Liberian children needed a good space for empowerment but that opportunity needs to be created by all Liberian parents through equal participation into those things that would help in transforming the communities of Liberia.
Vice President Boakai told the occasion which was graced by children, parents and government officials that the Liberian government will not dash the hopes of its people but, would only achieve those things that should be done for citizens when the people who have the opportunity refuse to cooperate with the government.
Vice President Boakai said there were more private lands in Liberia that are owned by private citizens but their failure to give their land to the government and other people whose want to make contributions through developments were preventing development in Liberia.
The Vice President thanked residents of Sackie Bomoh Town for making available their land for the construction of the dedicated Children Playground in Kakata City.
Speaking earlier, Margibi County Senior Senator Clarice Jah said the Playground will also contained a prayer chapel, swimming pool, reading room among others to help build up the capacity of children of Margibi County and beyond the counties.
She said the construction of the Children playground, was made available to the children of Liberia through help of two American Christian kids whose parents were also in Liberia for the dedication of the playground.
The Judy Brantingham and Lara Olson, mothers of the two kids that initiated the construction of the USD 56,000 children playground met Sen. Clarice Jah on face-book thereby improving their relationship and building up one the interest of kid to launched an appeal for children of Liberia for the construction of the playground thus leading one the kid to sell bread and cakes to raised the first USD10,000 that led to risen the rest of money for the construction of the playground in Kakata City, Margibi County.
Sen. Jah said her desire to increase her lobby for the project was inline with the feelings of the children and the people of Margibi County noting that over the years the children of the county did not had the opportunity to play; using those advance children's playgrounds facilities.
The Margibi County senator said the construction of the children playground was the beginning of more projects for the people of Margibi County.

Purchased to up grade my sound system & my SONY BRAVIA and SONY BLU-RAY. The sound quality is so much better. I can actually turn down the volume, not have it as loud. It was very easy to set up. Highly recommend this Sony sound bar with subwoofer and experience a whole new sound.
That is the ONLY thing I don't like about the sound bar. I bought the Phillips 52 in plasma two years ago and really FELL IN LOVE with the ASL system. No more annoying commercials blasting at you, as well as LEVEL sound when you changed channels. With the sound bar that feature is not available and I'm back to adjusting the sound every time a commercial comes on or i change channels on the TV THAT IS A BIG DEFECT in this old man's mind.
The system is great. I don't understand why people are negatively rating this system for functions that are clearly stated. Do people understand the fact that they may have to read the manual? The bass is solid, but I did notice that I had to turn up the subwoofer level a few notches (I did +5) because I think the bass is what really gives the experience that punch. The sound overall is great, and I often forget that there are no speakers behind or beside me. Two of my coworkers made the investment in this system, and they have nothing but great things to say about it as well. I did have to turn to the manual and read as to why some sound was not working initially from a few devices. Turns out that the compression my devices were using was not compatible with fiber optic, and so I had to readjust accordingly. I chose to pursue the fiber optic route because my TV has the output for it, thus allowing me to route all my devices through the TV, and then sends the audio via fiber optic to the sound bar. I understand that you get the DTS HD 5.1 through HDMI, but honestly, the DTS 5.1 sounds just fine through fiber optic. I also had to adjust the latency of my TV because by default it was delaying the audio by 100ms. Why? I don't know, but I put it at 0ms, and it was smooth sailing from there. If people want a workaround for all their devices that use coaxial or composite wiring, consider using your TV as a converter (this requires thinking outside the box...) A TV that you actually spend a good chunk of cash on will AT LEAST have composite output (while higher-end models will do fiber optic or an HDMI with audio only), so for those who are whining about the sound bar system not having enough ports are just being lazy in doing work on their part. It's a good system; buy it if you don't want to invest in the big receivers and extra speakers scattered across the room.
I bought this sound bar after watching a video recommendation on CNET and I am glad that I did. The best part of this thing is the HDMI switch. Run all of your HDMI components to the subwoofer, one HDMI cable to the TV and watch the magic. I have a new 55" Sony LED-LCD and it works flawlessly with it. The Bravia Sync works perfectly with my Sony Blu-Ray play and Direct-TV HD DVR box. The satellite controller will change the volume so I pretty much use one remote. I only need to get the soundbar remote to change the pre-set sound "types".
I love this sound bar system! The sound is much better quaility than the tv speakers and suprisingly more options than I thought when I bought it. I think this is perfect for a small room although its not true 5.1 surround sound it offers a good value for the product.

Joined: 4/17/2013I was really set to get the Helim. I loved the single limb design and the draw cycle. And then I tried the Creed. And that was it, I had to have the Creed. Both the Creed and Chill, their premier bows, are split limb. So it looks like split limbs have a future with Mathews.May 16, 2013 at 6:50 am #578127 Back to Top REPORT
Joined: 10/22/2007My thought is that split limbs are going to be more the rule than the exception for future Mathews offerings. I really don't care either way nor am I convinced that either split or single limbs have a clear advantage over the other. Of course, I am not privy to data that the companies have concerning cost, reliability, and a dozen other factors.Mathews S2 / Copper John 4-pin / QAD HD LD / Worlds Best Strings / 808 Bowslings / Easton BloodlinesMay 16, 2013 at 8:59 am #578144 Back to Top REPORT
Joined: 11/6/2009My thought is that split limbs will be the future and rule for all manufacturers, not just Mathews. I was looking in my Cabela's Archery this morning, and noticed it was about 90% split limbs to 10% solid limbs for what they offer. Also, the Crossbows are almost all split limb now.
I don't know…maybe it is a combination of cheaper to manufacture and a slight efficiency advantage? Weight savings? Less limb failure issues? Easier to use a larger cam, like the Creed? There is something to it, as all seem to be headed that way.May 16, 2013 at 11:36 am #578160 Back to Top REPORT

I'm guessing it's the over-sized cam and idlers that are driving the split-limb issue + resistance to limb twist.
I used to own a Browning single cam (can't remember the model name). It had one split limb and one solid limb. Browning claimed the split limb was more resistant to twist and used it on the cam limb.
Sold it to a friend many years ago. He's still using it. Had a 6.5 BH and was too long a draw for me. I couldn't shoot it as well as I wanted. That bow was/is a very hard hitter. He shot a deer (moved on the shot) through the head last season. Shot was 30 yards. Arrow went clean through the skull. In one side and out the other. Needless to say the doe dropped on the spot. I was impressed with the bow/arrow/BH combination. BH held together. No broken blades and ferrule was intact.

View My BowsHi my friends, well I must say I love the look of the new creed. I love my monster MR7. The minute I drew the monster back I was in love with it and then I bought it! This of course was after I bought my Helim a month earlier. I have been wanting to shoot the Creed, because I am curious to how it feels compared to the Monster but Im afraid I will end up walking out the door with it. My friends I don't think it will be a common practice for Mathews to make there solo cam bows with quad limbs. I think it was just how they had designed the cam and idler wheel that they decided to go with quad limbsMay 17, 2013 at 6:50 pm #578251 Back to Top REPORT

View My BowsI think split/quad limbs have been around for too long to be considered the "future". At one time, making four limbs that matched in deflection, and that had less vitual mass than a single limb, was more of an art than a science. Consequently, not many manufacturers went with the quad-limb designs despite the theoretical advantages. Now, with better thermo-plastics and resins, and with CNC machining and Water Jet cutting, making four limbs to be matched in deflection, with less virtual mass, is possible.
Like all things … they have their place and time 'under the sun'. When engineering for the ultra-speed market, dual-cam and quad-limbs is a no-brainer, at least until someone makes an engineering break through with a new concept. However, when designing for the solocam market, walking back the ultra-speed designs to get an ultra-smooth draw cycle with competitive speeds and a reasonable brace height, the quad limbs and over-sized cam is the obvious choice.
IMHO, there will be a place for the single limb, solocam bow in the future. Unfortunately, I don't see that satisfying the 'speed bow' market.
As far as esthetics … if esthetics were the end all and be all of good choices, average looking women/men would never get married, and gorgeous women/men wouldn't be on their third or fourth wives/husbands, eh? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but true love runs deeper.
Gonna hunt with my split-limbed, dual cam, ugly Monster …but have the single limb, solocam Z7 Mag and Prestige as backups. Nothing like hedging bets, eh?May 17, 2013 at 7:56 pm #578255 Back to Top REPORT

View My BowsI'm not really a split limb fan. I own a Helium and it is still the best bow I've ever shot. Has nothing to do with split or solid limbs. I will always try the new bows, when I find one I like, I'll buy it. If it has split limbs, so be it. I personally liked the draw on the Helium better than the Creed, and I shoot better with it. Mathews will build another bow that I will fall in love with. Regardless of limb design, I will know it when I shoot it. That's what happened the last two bows I've bought.

Circus VargasRead MoreThe first thing people notice about Circus Vargas is its big-top tent. Hand-fashioned in Milan from 90,000 square feet of cerulean-blue and sunshine-yellow fabric, the canopy, along with spotlights and saw-dust-covered floors, completed the illusion of an elegant lost era when used in the 2011 film Water for Elephants. The last thing people notice is the absence of animals. They're too busy gaping at a man balancing a 12-step ladder with his mouth. Keeping its marvels strictly human, Circus Vargas builds on a 40-year history by blending classic feats of fearlessness with surprising new tricks. The show features magic tricks along with a skilled hand balancer, a speed juggler, and the wheel of destiny.6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd.Canoga Park, CA US

Live Nation NationalRead MoreHershey Theatre The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.8430 Sunset BoulevardWest Hollywood, CA US
Troupe VertigoRead MoreFanny Kerwich, Lone Star Circus?s founder and current creative director, was born with the circus in her blood. An eighth-generation member of a renowned French circus family, she has been performing since age 6, delighting international audiences at Paris?s Lido and Moulin Rouge, Germany?s Circus Roncalli, and San Francisco?s Teatro ZinZanni. Fanny?s performing experience and artistic vision now guide the nonprofit Lone Star Circus, which is a two-branched operation. Its performance troupe?s grace and athleticism shine during shows. The circus?s school hosts classes for adults and children throughout the week. Beginners? classes cover a variety of circus skills, from trapeze and aerial silk work to acrobatics and lyra, also known as aerial hoop. Learning to lift and hold your own body weight is a good way to get stronger and see muscle definition quickly.5640 1/2 Hollywood BlvdLos Angeles, CA US
Cirque SchoolRead MoreAccording to Cirque School founder Aloysia Gavre, "anybody with any body" can run away with the circus, and she should know. As a former Cirque du Soleil aerialist, Aloysia has long been dominated by a passion for the circus arts. Her Cirque School has been teaching the tricks of the trade to new generations of circus performers since 2004, when it started humbly in a small Pilates studio. These small classes quickly blossomed into a full-time community institution as the school expanded into its current 6,000 square foot Hollywood studio. It's here where Gavre and her team of aerialists, contortionists, acrobats, stilt walkers, jugglers, and balance experts turn even the most casual circus fan into a full-blown big-top fanatic. They've even become the go-to resource for Hollywood productions seeking circus training, including consulting work for network shows and making Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz look like natural-born circus performers in Water for Elephants. In classes designed for ages 14 and up, Cirque School melds professional circus training with limberness-enhancing Pilates. It tones frames, cultivates flexibility, and helps give future circus strongmen their strength, all while filling students with mental and physical wellness. It's rigorous, but that rigor is always overshadowed by fun. And as sticklers for safety, nobody works without crash pads. Dangling from a 10- to 19-foot open barrel-roof ceiling, students work their cores and upper bodies in the Pilates-infused Aerial 101 class, a 60-minute workshop on beginner-level trapeze and fabric. AcroFit 101 participants hold handstands and develop tumbling techniques in a 60-minute cross-training program. Alternatively, students can lengthen their limbs during Flexibility & Stretch, a 90-minute cocktail of circus contortion, dance training, and rubber-band impersonation.5640 Hollywood Blvd.Los Angeles, CA US
Popovich Comedy Pet TheaterRead MoreWhen he first arrived in Las Vegas, Russian-trained juggler and clown Gregory Popovich incorporated his pet cat Snowbird into his act by chance, to overwhelming audience response. Inspired to expand the furry cast, Popovich headed to a local shelter where he was appalled at the number of abandoned pets. Now touring nationally with stops at Late Show with David Letterman and America?s Got Talent, Popovich leads a four-legged cast of 15 cats and 10 dogs, all former strays before becoming stars and, in some cases, internationally ranked poker players. Pups propel scooters across the stage and double-dutch jump rope as cats shimmy over parallel bars. European-style clowns and mesmerizing jugglers complement bouts of barking and meowing. And this season, the Pet Theater welcomes a new duo into the fold? a miniature horse and goat?who are certain to win audiences' hearts with their hoofed camaraderie and braying banter.743 South Lucerne BoulevardLos Angeles, CA US

Hong Kong actor and martial artist Philip Ng finally is given center stage with this rebooted look at the hero Ma Yung-Chen, who was immortalized in the 1972 Shaw Brothers film BOXER FROM SHANTUNG and then in the 1997 Corey Yuen-directed HERO.
Ma is a country bumpkin who has impeccable martial arts skills. He displays his skills on a boat en route to Shanghai. When an adult bully steals a piece of food from a young girl, Ma takes it upon himself to fight the bully and his thugs. Arriving in Shanghai, he hopes to make a living as Shanghai is believed to be a paradise. He finds a job at a local warehouse, but learns that the controllers of the warehouse, the Axe Gang, are smuggling opium disguised as tea. Upset, Ma decides to take justice in his own hands.
It is when Ma decides to destroy the opium that he meets Long Qi (Andy On), a once poor man whose fighting skills and determination has made him declare himself "the King of Shanghai". When Ma proves himself to be a fighter in Long's eyes, Long allows Ma to destroy the opium and soon a friendship develops between the two, much to the chagrin of the Axe Gang and the occupying Japanese, who were in cahoots with the Axe Gang in the opium trade.
Despite Ma's loyalty and friendship with Lung, he remains true to himself and it draws the attention of the youngest daughter (Michelle Hu) of residential owner Master Bing (Sammo Hung). When the Axe Gang plans to have Ma kill Lung in an effort to take Shanghai back, Ma refuses and an all out war becomes imminent.
The character of Ma Yung-Chen is one that stands to be quite an interesting character. A country bumpkin who arrives in Shanghai in hopes to be successful, he learns that fame and success does come at a price. Chen Kuan-Tai first brought the role to life in the 1972 classic BOXER FROM SHANTUNG. Twenty five years later, Takeshi Kaneshiro played the role in Corey Yuen's HERO, which many found less than stellar. How does Philip Ng do compare to his predecessors?
Ng, a martial artist wunderkind who has always been relegated to supporting roles as well as work as an action director on occasion, holds himself quite well in his first lead role. His take on Ma is one where he knows why he is Shanghai, but presents himself with a little bit of shyness at first. It is the gradual emergence that he is loyal not only to the the people who take care of him while in Shanghai but ultimately, he becomes loyal to China as a whole. And by the final reel, that changes Ma from shy country bumpkin with skills to a lethal fighting machine.
Andy On continues to make his name known as one of the new young action stars in Hong Kong. What is interesting is that like Ng's character of Ma, On's Long Qi also goes through a bit of change. He starts off as arrogant, which allows On to do a bit of acceptable overacting to start. However, as his friendship with Ma grows, Long begins to see that reality can set in as Long may not be the most powerful man in Shanghai, and it doesn't seem to bother him. He seems to be more "human" as he soon begins to develop a brotherhood of sorts with Ma and even treat his lady love with the respect she always desired.
The Axe Gang elders are a delight to watch because they are played by veterans of the genre. As a matter of fact, call it a passing of the torch in a way as Chen Kuan-Tai, the original Ma Yung-Chen, plays one of the elders along with Fung Hark-On and Yuen Cheung-Yan. While some may feel they are wasted, when they finally unleash some action, these vets still have it and it may truly be seen as a passing of the torch. Even the legendary Sammo Hung doesn't get any action until the third act and that's okay as if director Wong Ching-Po intended to make this the "Philip and Andy Show".
Yuen Woo-Ping served as the film's action director and he makes good use of both Ng and On. The highlights of the film truly are Ng's opening fight scene on the boat and his duel with On that becomes the turning point of the film. It should be mentioned that there are shades of Bruce Lee's THE BIG BOSS in the film as Ma sports a jade bracelet given to him by his mother with the promise to think of the consequences of using his powerful left arm. The damage this left arm causes is seen in very high impact slow motion shots and while there is some obvious wirework for certain aspects, it can be safe to say they don't really overtake the action here.
ONCE UPON A TIME IN SHANGHAI is definitely a fun time pleaser. While many will feel the old veterans are wasted, it is clear they are passing the torch. Philip Ng gives an impressive debut lead role as the heroic Ma and Andy On hams it up in a fun way as the gangster who becomes friends with our hero Ma. It is safe to say these two work well together and they should be given a chance to carry another martial arts film together in the future.
Andy On • Boxer from Shantung (1972) • Chen Kuan-tai • Hero (1997) • Once Upon a Time in Shanghai (2014) • Philip Ng • remake • Sammo Hung • Wong Ching-Po • Yuen Woo-ping

2000 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Fairbanks, AK, May 15, 2015 18:52I bough4 my super used 2006. She now has 85,000 miles on her. I haven,t had any major problems yet other than an alternator. This truck has pulled out other vehicles from the mud/snow banks. (They weren,t Fords) I plan to keep her as this is the best year for the ps 7.3 engine. I have freinds with 350,000 and higher still going down the road. I average about 1,800 miles a year with her and during the winter I will put one ton of pellets in her once a month for 7 months. It,s about 10 miles from the store to home and she handles it all with no complaints. I would never put this much weight in the back on another make of truck. Don,t trust them.

2013 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Flower Mound, TX, December 31, 2014 08:13Purchased the F250 Platinum and have never regretted a moment. Have the 6.7L Power Stroke and it performs well. Work the truck pretty hard hauling animals & tractors around to pulling out large stumps and have not had any problems. Not to dispute other reviews, but really, Ford couldn't fix a new truck with 6500 miles on it? Sounds like a bad dealership or a something. Have driven all brands of trucks and the 2013 F250 is by far the best of the best. I like my comfort when not working and at times forget I'm in a truck.

I have had three exhaust sensors replaced, turbo charger replaced, it has a leak in the radiator. It is a diesel 6.4 and gets 9.5 miles MPG. The cleaning filter message is on most of the time.

In all these 12 years the one and only issue I've had is when the passenger door lock would not respond to the remote door lock signal. That is all. No leaks, no spark plug blow outs or seizing - (knock on wood)as some folks are having. I previously had a 1998 F-250 light duty (F-150 with extra leaf spring)which was junk, so having this truck be so trouble free makes me think is all about luck of the draw. No regrets.
2004 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Greenville, SC, March 18, 2014 06:48there will never be another ford at my house a pile of junk I spend at lease 1000. a week then aaa brings it back to my home I have to much invested to trade or sale
2000 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Bourg, LA, March 10, 2014 11:29There is no firing on the number 6 cylinder, i want to know why and what's causing it to happen? Ive changed out the coil and plugs.
2002 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, San Antonio, TX, March 07, 2014 06:19I have a 2002 F-250 super cab 5.4L gasoline V-8. I bought the truck used in 2007 with 125,000 miles on it. It was well maintained and miles were mostly highway as they pulled a fifth wheel trailer with it. I rebuilt the front end and replaced the shocks after 6 months of owning it. I put ceramic pads all four wheels which makes a huge difference in stopping. I now have 212,000 miles with original hoses (I know) it has no transmission problems and still has plenty of power when needed. I will never own anything but a ford truck.
2010 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Chehalis, WA, February 22, 2014 22:43Purchased with 24K on it. currently has 56K. 6.4L, Auto,4x4, FX4 Package, loaded with options. Very comfortable ride considering the hauling capacity. RH front Caliper failed/stuck at 54K, replace front caliper and pads (about 50% left on old pad, wasted). Removed DPF & Tuned, very little smoke, great sound, great performance, 18 mpg (best upgrade, the DPF was a hassle and choked engine, not to mention the engine will last much longer now.). Taking in for both front axle dust shield warranty replacements (poor design, good redesign, 60K mfg warranty covered the issue). All-in-All, this is a great truck. The interior is very comfortable and it has very good road manners for a large truck. With the DPF removed & tuned, it runs great and has outstanding performance and mileage for a large truck, worth every penny (bought used from dealer for $33K with 24K miles, saved $20K from new and have a great truck).
2013 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Kingston, GA, January 13, 2014 08:41Bought brand new F-350 diesel, "Dooley" double cab long bed 4x4 Platinum. Nearly every option available. Truly top of the line. After 6 mo./6400 miles, started operating at reduced capacity and Ford advised me to get it off of the road. That is where it has been since. Was informed that vehicle could not be repaired because no available parts. FMC assigned case manager and even case supervisor. But neither would ever contact me, let alone find a solution. Finally sold off the carcass at a great loss. Do yourself a favor. Steer away from FMC at all costs. If you choose to do business with this company, you do so at your own risk, and you are truly on your own.
1999 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Charlevoix, MI, December 29, 2013 19:03Ive plowed snow commercially with the 7.3 for 12 yrs.I have plowed with many trucks and none push snow or pull like this truck.I have replaced oil pan brakes and all the normal parts but this is the best truck ive ever had.biggest problem is the wire harness from engine to body.the wires in one spot look like they were kinkedand the wire corrodes and blowes apart.The insulation was not pierced.I have solderd.in new wires and it runs lole new.I now own a 2013 chevy 2500HD and I Still plow in the Ford.it is 3 TIMES THE TRUCK THE Chevy is.
2011 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Hindsboro, IL, November 03, 2013 09:52I have a 2011 F-250 extended cab short bed with diesel engine. I pull a 38 foot DRV Mobile Suite fifth wheel that weighs about 17,000 loaded. We have pulled the camper over 14000 miles and do not have a single complaint. We average about 11 miles per gallon while towing and around 19 when driving normally without a trailer in tow. I did have some what I call "shimmy" in the front end at around 30000 miles and took it in to Ford. They replaced the front shocks and steering stabilizer under the warranty program. This helped, but did not completely eliminate the problem. I am still running on the original tires, and will be replacing those soon, hopefully this will reduce the front end problem even more. The diesel engine is extremely powerful and the six speed transmission with the tow feature is very efficient in getting us from one destination to another. We have towed in the flat lands of Illinois to the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico and our F-250 has no problems performing her duties.
1999 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Las Cruces, NM, July 08, 2013 08:32Late model 1999 ford F250 7.3L Powerstroke turbo diesel manual 6spd(love it) Perhaps one of the best diesels ever produced. understand also International made this motor- NOT ford. they are reliable, tons of relentless power, ride like a cadillac, and are extremely insane when properly modified. I have driven many diesels old and nrw, but i will never get rid of my 7.3. People compliment it all the time when filling up. especially when i tell them i get 23mpg on the highway and 20 in town. then it goes from compliments to offers to buy! I am about to flip the odo to 200,000 and cant wait to be a proud owner of a 500,000mile+ 7.3 owner, as there are MANY out there. and i must day, it sure is fun to be faster than most on the road in a 3/4ton diesel. all they hear is a turbo whistlin dixie and all they see is tailights through a cloud of coal! Note: i also have issues with my door sensors and light but the stealership wanted way too much to fix. but thats it other than standard preventative stuff. these trucks are also pretty simple to understand and fix yourself. Call an inernational dealer for future parts/fluids since they are still upgrading and improving the almighty 7.3! Many things ford wont recommend international, who designed the motor, will promise you.
2003 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Bettendorf, IA, June 11, 2013 14:06For the most part we really like our truck. It does ride rough, that is what a 4x4 diesel truck rides like. The one problem we had since we bought it is the passenger seat belt locks up everytime we use it, which is by law and we have no problem with doing what the law requires in using seat belts. It will start out fine after we put it on, then any slight movement and it will lock up and any more movement will have it keep retracting till it is choking whoever sits in the front passenger seat. The driver's side does not have this problem. Since we have only our truck for transportation this is really aggravating and to us a safety issue, as we have to release it to let it roll all the way up and release again to put it on. Our fear is that it will do this and choke one of us in a accident or cause an accident cause we can't get it to release at all. Please tell us this can be fixed. We took it up to the local Ford dealer and they changed the oil, that cost us $300.00, did an inspection and said it was malfunctioning but want us to pay $450.00 to have it replaced. We talked to the original owner and he said that is one of the reasons he traded it in. To us this has been a problem since it rolled off the assembly line and is a safety feature issue that should of been recalled. Please be advised that if it in fact causes a serious injury or accident we will contact our lawyers to mitigate this issue with Ford. Sincerely; Mr. & Mrs. Loras W. Jaeger 563-209-5869
2008 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Oak Forest, IL, May 20, 2013 15:36Own a 350 & a250 superduty, both are 2008, both had #3 coil and cylinder problems at around 120,000 miles, my choice is either replace the motors or the block, what junk and a big disapointment
2013 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Johnson City, TN, May 02, 2013 08:53truck is great but it likes gas i am thinking about a cold air intake system has anyone tryed one on the 6.2L engine and if you have did it help the gas mileage .
2011 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, North Weymouth, MA, March 26, 2013 20:34I have a 2011 F250 XLT Super Cab 6.2L gas 6ft bed. I bought it brand new and have been driving it since January 2011. This truck is amazing. Fuel millage is best in class. Easily feel the horse power when you step on the gas. Fast braking response. Plow with it no issues. It is a daily driver and no complaints. I've driven other trucks and this is my favorite one. My father owns a 2033 F350 Super Cab 6 ft bed and I loved driving that so much I bought this. Highly recommended truck and keeps value well.
2000 Ford F-250 Super Dutyledmond, Atlanta, GA, February 05, 2013 13:34Ordered mine new and waited 13 weeks for delivery. Would buy another one just like it but hoping I never have to since you can't get the 7.3L any more. 199,000 miles, third set of alternators on it, door/lock issues, door lock actuators, a few misc. modules here and there, now a instrument cluster. All in all, only been left on the side of the road once. Took a head on collision in a parked position from a Cadillac. Totaled the Cadillac, didn't even get to the radiator of the truck. If something hits this truck, might as well be hitting a tank, unless it is a bigger truck. Maybe $3,000 in repairs over the life of truck so far, will keep buying parts until the sheet metal rusts and falls to the ground.Enthusiast
2008 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Polson, MT, October 08, 2012 10:36My 08 Superduty has just over 70000 well taken care of miles. Earlier this summer I noticed a radiator leak. $1200.00 for a new radiator. Just after that repair, $350 for a new exhaust probe. Now at 73k I'm told I need new upper and lower ball joints and that my steering box is leaking badly - together another $2500.00. Not to mention that every time I touch the driver's side door handle I get a subtle electrical shock. I shouldn't have traded my 05 Silverado!
2004 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Mcdonough, GA, September 16, 2012 06:55Purchased a 2004 F-250 Super Duty Lariat crew cab in July 2009 to start hotshot hauling. The truck had one bad injector when purchased at 117,000 miles. I replaced injector, pulled a 30 foot gooseneck trailer all over the U.S. hauling freight. At 245,000 oil cooler replaced. Truck now has 356,000 without any major problems.Oil changed every 5,000 miles fuel filters at 15,000. One transmission filter change. Three alternators, one belt, one water pump, one radiator,two ICP sensors, one oil pressure sensor. I have been very pleased with the truck and it still runs as it did years ago.

2000 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Miami, FL, January 20, 2012 14:31I bought my 2000 F-250 with a V-10 gas engine in 2001 with 41,000 miles. Last month I turned 356,000. I have never had a problem with the Engine, Trans, Transfer case or differential, front or back. I have done regular oil changes, many sets of tires and AC refrigerant. I would drive it to California tomorrow.....after I change the front wheel hub bearings, making a little rumble. I haven't even had to put a belt on the engine or change the coolant, or trans fluid. I love my truck!!
2003 Ford F-250 Super Dutykmyers05, Cedar Hill, TX, January 11, 2012 16:48I have a F-250 2003 with a 5.4 gas engine, I bought it used this past summer. I have noticed the truck seems to seem as if it is bogging down when I'm going about 70mph. I have to keep acelerating. Now my truck will run fine for a few days and then it will die if I stop or decelerate. I've checked the fuel pressue while it was ideling and it was 30psi. But I think the fuel pump is going out. How do I determine if the fuel pump is the problem?Rookie

2001 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Aspen, CO, October 11, 2011 08:20I was driving my 2001 F-250 diesel crew cab while towing a U-haul cargo trailer on an Interstate highway in Louisiana Sept. 2011 and was rear-ended by a drunk driver whose estimated speed exceeded 90 m.p.h. After spinning out of control, I sustained a frontal impact with an earth embankment but my airbag did not deploy. I've received serious back, neck & head injuries. Any legal advice from similar experiences?
2010 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Laytonville, CA, October 06, 2011 17:47My 2010 F250 Super Duty has died 3 times with low fuel and wouldn't start after fuel was added. Had to get towed to dealership 3 times. First time, Dealership primed it and truck turned over. 2nd time, truck spent over a month in repair dept. had 4 clogged fuel injectors, and faulty fuel pump housing. Ford repaired. 3 time, mileage meter read 27 miles til empty when it died on the side of the highway. Now it's in the shop and I'm very curious to find out what the deal is. Not too happy with this truck, or the dealership we bought it from. I understand that it's not wise to let your fuel run low, but why do vehicles have the feature that tells you how many miles you have left if it can't be relied upon? Doesn't make sense to me.

2008 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Fort Mill, SC, May 08, 2011 15:06Body is solid with interior giving a real truck feel. Brakes feels very under powered to stop the weight of the truck. lights at night can be much brighter. air conditioning is under powered to cool the cab rapidly, since there are no vents in the rear. this fix came later year models

2002 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Camden, NY, March 31, 2011 09:21I have had tihs truck for 5 years now. I bought it used with 31,000 miles on it, now has 89,900. I traded my 98 silverodo HD with 8L for it and let me tell you I'll never own another GM product again that truck cost me more /month in repairs than what my payments were and pulling power was a joke slitest upgrade it would die . I have a 14,ooo lb. fifth wheel camper and the ford with the 6.8l out pulls out performs, rides better and gets about the same fuel milage between 16-16.5 pulling about 12-13. only problem with the ford I hadt to replace the exhaust manifold bolts, ball joints once and dipstick tube. other than that awsome truck would deffenatly buy another!

It has 315/70 r17 tires on it and An ARB snorkel with 8,500 lb winch up front. It just turned 27,000 miles!!! Has the same brakes and battery, although my mechanic said I was on borrowed time with the battery! Had a recall for a fuel line. Ford took care of it, no problems. The only things I do are the oil changes with Mobile 1. The ride is rough with that solid axle up front but it is super strong and works great when I pull out big stuck vehicles! Next F250 will be a crew cab. Great Truck thanks FORD!!

2005 Ford F-250 Super DutyJackyabilene, Abilene, TX, September 09, 2010 17:42I just bought my 250 power stroke used. It is absolutley like new. Don't know what the former owner(s) used it for but it certainly wasn't for pulling loads. It truely is like new although it has 223,000 miles and 4,600 hrs on it. I have no complaints, except today I had a light come on that looked like a wrench. When I read the book it said tha it had to do with the Electronic Speed Control and that as long as the light was on it would be in the "LIMP HOME" mode. It ran perfectly, it didn't miss or have a lack of power. Soon after it came on I shut it off and let it set for 30 min's. When I restarted it the light did'n vome back on and hasn't since. What does thismeen and am I fixin' to have to spend money on it? If anyone has any answers PLEASE call or email me with the answer. I just bought it so I jave no cash to do repairs. PLEASE HELP!!!!Rookie

2000 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Richmond, VA, May 11, 2010 11:47I purchased this truck used in 2005. I like the truck. The problem i have is Ball Joints. The truck has only 136,000 miles and is on it's 4th set of Ball Joints. I think there might be a problem with design or, perhaps, the mechanics are doing something wrong. The only other problem has been the electical connection for the heater blower keeps coming undone.
2006 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Norman Park, GA, April 20, 2010 20:09We have had nothing but problems with the 2006 F-250 we have. It has been in the shop more then we have been able to drive it. I think there should be a lemon law or something on this model truck.they have replaced every injector in the truck. had to buy 2 new batteries. have took it to 2 dealer ships 13 times and still can't drive it with out it breaking down. It is broke down again and I'm sick of it, so if SOMEONE can please help with this I would greatly apperceate it. My name is Michelle Horne I have had this truck 2&half years and can't even drive it.

2000 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Chesapeake, VA, April 12, 2010 08:46Thinking about trading the truck in for a 2011 (or probably the 2012) F-250 Super Duty Diesel 4x4. However, I haven't had any big issues except for mileage related. Just before 195k I had to rebuild both alternators and replace the batteries. At 200k, the water pump gave out. I've been very happy with the truck and may just choose to keep it in the family.
2004 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Redondo Beach, CA, April 09, 2010 12:10We have an '02 F250 6.0L Larient CrewCab 4x4 in Ford's Purple/Blue. She has about 44k on the odometer and do date only minor problems. The blog comments i've read on this truck are mixed though. It seems like you either got a good one or a bad one, there were no 'in between' ones. The most common problem I have the that the silicone hose on the boost side of the turbo will blow off from time to time. Then surprise, zero power and clouds of BLACK smoke out the tailpipe. Fortunately it's an easy fix, although not very fun when the motor's hot. I think the only other issue we have is a mild 'clunk' when you accelerate from a dead stop. (rear end, tail cone, suspension...really haven't tracked it down) Power wise, I'm relatively happy. Compared to the 7.3L it's lacking but makes up for it in the MPG dept. We have a 4" lift and 35"x12.50X16.5" BFG on her and she averages 17MPG on the road at 72MPH thanks in part to the K&N air intake and the EDGE programmer. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy the exact same one. I'm not a FORD fan, but they got this one right (knock on wood). SHAWN

2000 Ford F-250 Super DutyVisitor, Red Lodge, MT, March 29, 2010 03:17I bought this truck new and it's a workhorse with plenty of power. I have put 66000 miles on it and considered trading. Sales at ford told me it it works keep it cause the new diesels are much less efficient than the one I own. I have the 7.3 Power stroke diesel with a 6 speed manual transmission. It misses when I start it but that clears up when the engine warms up. I am looking for the cause of this problem.
2001 Ford F-250 Super DutyBigDan, Sandpoint, ID, December 30, 2009 16:06I love this truck. I now have over 400,000 miles on my '01 Superduty Diesel and it has never failed me. Power is still great and fuel mileage with the power chip is around 20 if I stay below 65mph. I did have to have the guts replaced in the Auto Trans at about 150k. I've replaced the alternators (ambulance package so there are two) a starter and the neutral sensor along with normal maintenance and that is it.

I was talked out of buying the diesel by several people because of the perceived problems and poor fuel economy of the new 6.4. The 6.8 has gobs of power, but horrible gas mileage. If I'm easy on the accelerator I get 9-10 mpg in mixed driving, I can get up to 12 on the highway if I keep the speed reasonable, and it drops down to a wallet-emptying 7-8 when I'm pulling my 6,700lb fifth wheel. Ouch. The ride is typical of a truck, and is particularly rough over sharp bumps; my previous truck was the 1/2 ton and the ride on that was much nicer. I have about 8,000 miles on my truck and overall like it very much. I love the styling and it's reasonably comfortable for a truck. The one thing I would want to improve is the fuel economy - I sometimes wish I had switched to Dodge with the Cummins Turbo Diesel.Enthusiast
2006 Ford F-250 Super DutyHenryF250, Yakima, WA, August 15, 2009 01:22I love my truck but have the following complaints. The seats could offer more side support. I would have like to have better headlights. The 6.0L is great, but the mileage is not what I would have expected. I get about 12 in town empty and 18-20 @ 70 empty. The truck is quiet to drive, handling is good and for a truck, the fit and finish is very good. Heat works great and the AC is good also. Transmission is great. Shifts are firm. Overall, I would buy this truck again, but with a few different options. Too bad the SORT version is available here is the US.Enthusiast
1999 Ford F-250 Super DutyMaranaDude, Marana, AZ, April 08, 2009 12:44This truck has a 6.8 L gas engine which gets about 12 MPG empty and 8 mpg when used to tow my 13,500 lb. fifth wheel trailer, but the power is worth it. It's also handy to haul stuff to the dump! The only problem I've had in 10 years is an overhaul of the air conditioner and problems with the electric door lock and light sensor on the passenger door.Enthusiast
2005 Ford F-250 Super Dutyhemicuda, Pacifica, CA, January 16, 2009 08:48The diesel engine is quiet and powerful, The cab is a little small for us corn-fed fellasMaster
2008 Ford F-250 Super Dutyaguayo, Conroe, TX, November 23, 2008 18:30Truck rides better than my other car, a G-35 Infiniti. Steering is tight and bumps are absorbed without bounces being felt in the cab. Step/handle in tailgate is fabulous. Only complaint is mpg, so far with a little over 1,000 miles on the truck, its doing 12mpg. I'm hoping for an improvement as I put more miles on the truck.Enthusiast

The Best Miniature Foods

They became trendy a few years back but I just can't get over them. Pulled short ribs, quite like the cupcake, have stolen my heart. I especially like them slathered in BBQ sauce and piled high on a bun topped with avocado slices or crunchy cabbage salad or crispy fried onions. As you can see I am quite discriminating. These mini sliders make me feel better about myself… cause mini foods are perfectly portioned and as my Grandma "Ma" a"h always said… "everything in moderation." She was one smart, special, skinny lady. Although her tastes were more homemade kishka for shabbos and less sliders for the superbowl. I think she'd be proud that I am turning out food not just eating it. And come game day I usually care slightly more about the spread than the score BUT now I can save some cals cause the game is on in the middle of the night in Israel. Guess I'll have the sliders for breakfast while I read about the highlights.
Get the recipe for Short Rib Sliders.

Pulled Short Ribs with barbecue sauce! Ohmyohmy. That's for me anytime. Ditto turkey meatballs, which are perfect pre-dinner when I entertain. But I especially love the fish croquettes, salmon tea sandwiches and spanakopita triangles for my Superbowl offerings. I do dairy meals often, make spanakopitas often, but these fish croquettes are new for me; gotta try them.
So cute, I love minis! so kid-friendly too!
loving all these minis!
Love this! Miniature foods are fun for the whole family
I'm also obsessed with mini sliders! Love the idea of avocado slices and the short rib! Thanks for all the posts, they look fantastic!
Caviar & CC looks unexpected. Must try.
I have to second what Ronnie said — that BBQ looks awesome!

society's health care needs. This is a major concern for FDA given that many changes are taking place in health care, such as a move toward managed care systems, a shift to more restrictive drug formularies, a move to outcomes-based research, increased availability of information, a restructuring of the pharmaceutical industry, and the rise of drug-resistant pathogens.
In an effort to address the challenges posed by the changing health care environment, FDA has implemented several initiatives. For instance, FDA is exploring how it can provide information and expertise useful for the evaluation of drug formularies and drug benefits programs. It is collaborating with other agencies, such as the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, to sponsor a workshop intended to assist managed care organizations and HCFA with evaluating drug benefit designs. It is also implementing sections of the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 that deal both with the efficient and swift dissemination of information on new uses (offlabel information) of drugs and devices (Section 401) and with the dissemination of economic information in drug promotion (Section 114).
In addition, FDA recently published draft guidance on medical product promotion in the managed care environment. The agency acted because of evidence that suggested that medical product manufacturers could avoid regulatory oversight of promotional activities by allowing pharmacy benefit management companies and other health care organizations to disseminate volatile information on their behalf. Although not a legally binding document, the guidance represents FDA's expectations with respect to existing laws. Another draft guidance recently published by FDA has focused on policies related to advertising directly to consumers, which has resulted in a sharp increase in advertising on television. It is hoped that continued revision of draft guidance and policies will continue to have positive effects on the changing health care environment.

Senior Scientist, Institute for Clinical Outcomes Research, Vice President of Research for International Severity Information Systems, and Professor of Medical Informatics, University of Utah School of Medicine
Although formulary management is an important component in health care practice, its role in cost control and its effect on quality of care have not been well understood. In an effort to analyze the relationship between managed care formularies and treatment outcomes, the Institute for Clinical Outcomes Research (ICOR) conducted a 12-month study that analyzed the consequences of the cost-containment practices of health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and resulting outcomes. Six HMOs participated in a program that studied almost

Gulley, J.L.M.; (1960) The Wealden landscape in the early seventeenth century and its antecedents. Doctoral thesis, University of London.
|PDF (Volume 1) - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
|PDF (Volume 2) - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
This study attempts to describe the historical geography of a confined region, the Weald, before 1650 on the basis of factual research; it is also a methodological experiment, since the results are organised in a consistently retrospective sequence. After defining the region and surveying its regional geography at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the antecedents and origins of various elements in the landscape-woodlands, parks, settlement and field patterns, industry and towns - are sought by retrospective enquiry. At two stages in this sequence the regional geography at a particular period (the early fourteenth century, 1086) is outlined, so that the interconnections between the different elements in the region should not be forgotten. The earliest source material used for original investigation is Anglo-Saxon charters but, to complete the methodological structure, the inquiry is pursued (by summarising the research of others) to the first agricultural settlement of the area, ending with a description of the natural landscape which these first colonists saw.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Burning Question: How Long Has Toby Been on the "A" Team?
On the Pretty Little Liars Season 3 summer finale (Season 3, Episode 12: "The Lady Killer"), we finally found out who the betrAyer is: Toby (Keegan Allen). Once we got over our initial shock, we had one big question stuck in our heads: How long has Toby been on the "A" team?
Let's take a look back at some of the signs Toby has been on the "A" team from the very beginning.
Alison always hated Toby. Even before "the Jenna (Tammin Sursok) thing," Alison (Sasha Pieterse) didn't like Toby at all. Early on, she suspected him of spying on her and the Liars from his treehouse. Blinding Jenna started as a prank to scare Toby with firecrackers (unless you theorize that Alison was targeting Jenna all along), so the Liars were against him from the very start of the show.
Toby made a mix CD for Emily. In Season 1, Toby started out as Emily's (Shay Mitchell) semi-secret friend. In Season 1, Episode 4: "Can You Hear Me Now?", Toby makes a stalker-y mix CD for Emily, complete with a drawing of her on the cover. Looking back, that may have been the second sign (after the spying) that Toby was a stalker-in-training.
Toby's tattoo. We've all come to believe Toby's story about his tattoo, "9/01 Free at Last." He claims that it's the day he ended his incestuous relationship with younger step-sister Jenna. But it also happens to be the day that Alison disappeared. Now that we know Toby isn't trustworthy, his tattoo might really signify the day he killed Alison, and felt free from her bullying ways for the first time.
Ali blackmailed Toby. In Season 1, Episode 6: "There's No Place Like Homecoming," Hanna (Ashley Benson) gets Toby's file from a psychiatrist, which reveals that Ali had tortured Toby by blackmailing him. She said that if he ever told anyone she and the Liars were responsible for blinding Jenna, she would release evidence that he was involved with Jenna sexually.
The bloody sweater. Remember that sweater? The Liars (and later the police) realize that Alison was wearing Toby's bloody sweater on the night she died, based on the final video of Ali. He claimed that he'd first met Alison that night and given her the sweater because she was cold, but how can we believe him now?
Toby was publicly shamed because of the Liars. After the sweater and video were used to put Toby in police custody, he spent the rest of the year as a recluse, made fun of and abused by the entire town of Rosewood. It seems perfectly natural for him to blame the Liars.
The hockey stick. In Season 2, Episode 7: "Surface Tension," Toby is the one who "finds" the broken hockey stick buried in the Hastings's yard. Could this have been an early diversion tactic on Toby's part? To point the blame for Alison's murder away from him and the "A" team?
His sudden ability to find Dr. Sullivan. In the Season 2 finale (Season 2, Episode 25: "UnmAsked"), Toby finally materialized and brought the missing Dr. Sullivan with him to Mona's crash site. How did he find her so easily, unless he'd been part of the team who kidnapped her in the first place?
Tell us in the comments if you think Toby has been working with Mona all along, and therefore, has been plotting against and torturing the Liars every step of the way.
