I owned and sold this car
Reason: needed new major work done on camshafts and timing chains
Pros: "great full time four wheel drive, 100% mecanical"
Cons: "needs a lot of work continuously at a big cost.."

"Car bought at a GM dealership as a one-owner CPO plum..had just came off factory warranty and to sweeten-the- pot, the silly sales man offered to warranty this rig as a brand new car. A full Platinum Plan bumper to bumper for 6 years at a cost of $2600..we jumped on it!!! NO DEDUCTIBLE....on all these repairs: The transmission quit, so they put in a fresh one, all labor and parts were free. The whiz-bang full auto air conditioning quit, the repairs required complete removal of the dashboard and an install kit from Jeep, which consisted of newly engineered flap doors made of metal instead of the OEM plastic junk, all at no cost. The electric window regulators quit, first one was the driver's side, then the passenger's side, we did the two back window regulators as a preemptive strike, as there ain't no temporary fix, once the regulator gives up, the glass falls down into the door. Your wife won't like to drive around town with a plastic garbage-bag taped to the door frame..been-there-done-that. The brakes are very jumpy on these Chrysler/Daimler rigs, the cure is a matched set of brakes, with new calipers-rotors and pads. Then it stops without any trembling of the pedal. Free is a very good price.."

"I bought my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4 in 2014 as my first car. It's the 26E Package, which basically means it's as base as a Jeep Grand Cherokee that you could buy new in 2002, with no other options. The 4.0L I6 is one tough engine, and gets good fuel economy, as well as has great power. The 42RE 4-speed automatic is a great transmission, and the Selec-Trac NV242 transfer case is a great 4X4 system. The seats are nice and comfortable, as I could easily take it on a long trip and not be fatigued when I get out of it. Recently, the driver's-side rear window has gone off-track, and needs to be repaired, as it had to be pushed back up manually and the door panel has to come off in order to repair it. Also, the 'Check Engine' light is currently on for an emissions code that has to be looked at. The A/C blows ice cold in the summer as long as you keep it charged, and the heater blows hot in the winter (in fact, if you put your finger on one of the HVAC vents with the heat going at full blast, you can feel the vent gets really, really hot to the touch!). Finally, the other problem that recently occurred was that the entire circuit board for the left rear tail lamp recently went out, so a new rear left tail lamp is required to fix that problem. All in all, though, this Jeep is a great choice, especially for parents who want to put their young driver in a safe vehicle, but for the young driver who wants a fun-to-drive, go-anywhere vehicle that gets great gas mileage and has plenty of power! I LOVE my Jeep! (:"

"I am the second owner of this great vehicle. What attracted me when I purchased this Jeep was how classy, and somewhat sporty it looked on the exterior. With everything original, I was amazed at the quality of the paint, trim and tinting in the window glass. This interior with leather, heated, seats is the most comfortable I have experienced in an off road vehicle. To this day I am in awe of the fact that everything still works! This Jeep is such a joy to drive as not only is it most comfortable, I feel safe on the road due to the fact I notice no blind spots. The separate climate control between driver and passenger is awesome, TEN DISK CD PLAYER and great sound leave me hoping for a traffic jam. Quality is bountiful in this Jeep and I found this Jeep to out shine my friends Mercedes SUV in comfort, placement of controls, interior space, power and style in the workmanship and materials used to make the dash hold its value. I've owned my share of cars and 4WD vehicles. In my opinion, this 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited has no rivals."

"I love my Jeep. Purchased new 2004 and it's been reliable and well running due to good maintenance and has needed only standard types of repairs. The CD player failed a few years ago and we didn't fix it. Recently the transmission failed, and we decided to replace it along with new bushings and brakes (which were due) for approx $4000. The Jeep is running like a new car again. It isn't a fancy vehicle or particularly comfortable for trips over a few hours long, but it's wonderful for local travel and for adverse NYS weather. It's been such a great vehicle. Glad we could repair it back to good working order."

This intimate bistro's got a killer summer selection: Pair their (legendary) fish tacos with sangria and the heirloom tomato salad.
Make a beeline for the owner and chief stylist, Dean. He has an incredible eye whether we want a look that's sleek and modern or artfully mussed.
Chef Michael Schlow has traveled extensively throughout Italy, and his culinary learnings there are what make his cuisine so inspiring (and authentically Italian).
Incredible breakfast, all day long. You'll have to wait if you go during brunch on weekends, but we say it's worth it. Try the ricotta stuffed french toast for brunch or sweet potato fries for lunch.
The beer list here is hard to compete with. An extensive list of some of our favorite brews in drafts and bottles, with a number of imports on tap. Our recommendation? BBC's Coffeehouse Porter.
Outfitted with everything our little ones could possibly need, from beds and cribs to armoires and desks, each piece is handcrafted and made to be both stylish and functional.
Pick your favorite neighborhood, then get ready to explore the area's best sweets. They even offer in-home events and classes so you can impress all your friends with your chocolate-making know-how.

If Moscow Mules and Prohibition-style locales are your thing, Lucky's offers some of the best - pub fare, classic drinks (the Moscow Mule is served in a copper mug) and Sinatra brunch on weekends.
If you like breakfast, but like hash brown potatoes even more, then brunch at Sonsie is an absolute must. Sit by the open window, then get ready to enjoy a brunch you won't soon forget.
As if we thought this studio couldn't get better, Zayna Gold created Boston Body Barre - a perfect fusion of Pilates and Barre workouts. Either program you choose, a fit new figure is yours.
We love the spectacular selection of wines and the fact that they offer a drive-thru service – no more navigating North End parking.
We can't make recommendations, since it's all made of oh-my-goodness-I'm-in-heaven chocolate. Waffle fries are dusted in cocoa, and the entrées are pleasantly satisfying... if you get dinner first.
Get your hair colored by Josh, hair cut by Hunter (seriously relaxing), and bridal up-dos by Gary. It's an intimate space with a view - right next to high-style shopping at Louis.
Get the ginger edamame for a spicy kick to start your meal, then indulge in a savory variety of sushi, sashimi, and Robata grill items.

There has been a lot of negative comment about Sen. Dean Heller's vote on the recent gun registration regulation in the U.S. Senate. I believe that if every one had read the bill in it's entirety they would have agreed there was some conflict with our rights as law-abiding citizens. Sen. Heller has delivered on his election promises, much unlike his Nevada senatorial colleague, and will receive my support and future vote.
I do not have a problem with a background check when purchasing a firearm, and I do not have a problem with background checks at a gun show. I do have a problem with checks when I am passing firearms to my children that have been in my family for nearly a century, especially when my children are in law enforcement and have been law-abiding citizens all their lives.

"Local Flavor" (May 2012 Out of Uniform Challenge Entry)
Travis Mayweather brought the shuttlepod to a gliding stop on the surface of Lafa II. ôLast stop,ö he joked, ôRetirement Acres.ö
ôVery funny,ö said Lili OĺDay, who had been the sous-chef on the NX-01. She and her boyfriend were young to retire, but they were leaving Starfleet just the same. She absently scratched a tattooed arm covered in silvery scrollwork.
ôAw, cĺmon,ö Travis said, ôI donĺt mean anything by it.ö
The console on the shuttlepod showed the date ľ November the sixteenth of 2157.
ôI know ya donĺt.ö
ôOh, the captain said to tell you he was sorry he couldnĺt see you off personally. Lieutenant Reed said the same thing.ö
ôOh? Theyĺre such sweet guys.ö
Travis just nodded ľ he didnĺt think anyone had ever described Archer or Reed as sweet before. He got up and opened the hatch. She got out and her boyfriend got out, too. They both sniffed the air and smiled.
Her fellow was Douglas Jay Hayes, the counterpart to the deceased Major Jay Hayes. The Enterprise had come to the Lafa System several days before. No one ľ at least, no human ľ had known about mirror universes and counterparts. But the entire Lafa System was psionically charged, and Lili had dreamt of a man. And in the mirror, on the other side of a proverbial pond, Doug had simultaneously dreamt of her, and they had fallen in love. The Calafans understood this and were able to briefly drop the veil between the two universes and get Doug over permanently. This was through meditation and a boost of power from the NX-01, the ISS Defiant and even sodium vapor flares from the two smallest stars in that quadruple star system. In gratitude, Doug and Lili had decided to settle on Lafa II as the Enterprise was sworn to secrecy and the entire episode was deemed classified.
There was a native Calafan waiting to meet them, Liliĺs new business partner, Treve. He and his family had been instrumental in bringing Doug over. They were the only Calafan friends that Doug and Lili had.
He was human in appearance, save for solid silver arms. Plus he was completely bald. Both of those details were signs that he wasnĺt yet thirty years of age. ôIĺm so glad youĺre here,ö he said, accent clipped and cultured, a product of a privileged upbringing. Liliĺs PADD was a little slow with the translation, but the context could be readily inferred. ôLetĺs get your bags into my vehicle.ö Doug helped him.
Lili turned to Travis. ôGonna miss you guys,ö she said.
ôIĺll miss you, too,ö Travis said, hugging her. ôI will also miss your strawberry shortcake.ö
ôI see how loved I am,ö she joked.
ôOh, I almost forgot!ö He produced a box from under the front console. ôChef gave this to me to give to you. Itĺs an eventual wedding present, but he says you can open it now.ö
ôHow wonderful! But I donĺt think weĺll get married until Reversal is up and running.ö
ôItĺs what weĺre naming the restaurant weĺre going to open up.ö She looked at him. ôItĺs funny. Weĺve scarcely got two nickels to rub together, but weĺve got friends. So we couldnĺt possibly be poor.ö She was a little teary. She hugged him again and waved as he took off.
Doug touched her shoulder and she turned around. ôJust you and me,ö he said, ôwell, except for our chaperone.ö She looked up at him and they kissed.
ôCome along now, children,ö Treve joked. Lili was over forty and Doug was in his mid-fifties ľ they were hardly kids. ôI have found you a place on Enne Street. Enne curves around a lot.ö He began to navigate as Lili clicked on her PADD and Doug looked out a window at unfamiliar Fep City.
ôGood thing Hoshi rigged my PADD so I can read Calafan script,ö Lili said. ôDoug, Enne means water.ö
ôTreve, do you know where I can get a name change?ö Doug asked.
ôName change?ö asked the Calafan after the PADD ľ which was slower than a Universal Translator ľ had converted Dougĺs and his words.
ôYeah. I, uh, immigrants used to sometimes do this on Terra ľ I mean, Earth. They would go somewhere and would reinvent themselves, and have a fresh start. So I want to change my last name, to my motherĺs maiden name, Beckett.ö
ôWell, we donĺt have last names,ö Treve said, ôso I doubt anyone could do that, or would so much as understand why. I suspect all you will need to do is start calling yourself Beckett.ö
ôOh, uh, okay,ö said Doug. ôI guess Iĺm Doug Beckett now.ö
ôUh, it says here weĺre passing Fep Street,ö Lili said, grinning a little, ôMister Beckett.ö
ôYes, thatĺs right. This is Fep Street and Imspi Street where my family lives, itĺs down over there a ways,ö Treve said, pointing, ôAh, and here we are.ö
The apartment was a house, squat and single-story. ôItĺs small,ö Lili said, looking around inside the apartment for the first time.
ôWeĺll save money this way,ö said Doug, ôAnd at least itĺs furnished.ö That was a charitable way of putting it ľ it was rather Spartan. In the front there was a small receiving area with a single chair. Doorways led away from it. Then in the bedroom, there were open shelves built into the walls, and there was a double bed that probably wasnĺt long enough for his lanky frame. Plus there was a desk with no chair. A door opened to a little bathroom with a shower and what looked like a bidet.
In the kitchen, there was a small table with two chairs and an empty open cupboard that was not unlike a bookcase. Next to it there was some counter space and a sink and a small sanitizer unit. Another door opened to a food storage area where there was a refrigeration unit with a small freezing compartment. Just beyond the refrigeration unit was a stove, and then the door to the back. And that was it.
ôYeah,ö she said absently. She went to the stove and tried the five burners. They all worked. The control settings were in unfamiliar Calafan script so she fiddled a bit until she figured out how to turn the flames higher and lower, and then off.
ôWe should unpack,ö Doug said.
ôActually, maybe, could we go to a market first?ö she asked. ôWe wonĺt save a lot of money if we go out to eat every night.ö
ôWe donĺt have any Calafan money,ö Doug reminded her.
ôHere, I can loan you some,ö Treve said. He fished into a pocket and produced several coins, all in a dull grey shade. He placed them on the counter.
ôI donĺt know when weĺll be able to change money, or even if your government will accept ours,ö Lili said.
ôNo rush, Iĺm sure they can do that.ö replied the Calafan. ôNow, allow me to explain these.ö He indicated the smallest coin, which had a single raised dot on its obverse. ôThis is an ub. Itĺs the smallest of our denominations. You canĺt buy much with just one. This next one,ö it was a little bigger, with five raised dots on the back in a pyramid shape, ôis a fep. Itĺs the same as five ubs.ö
ôAre all your coins named for the four suns?ö asked Doug. Ub was the smallest of the four suns in the Lafa System. The second-smallest was Fep. ôSo this next one would be an abic?ö He pointed to the next-sized coin on the counter.
ôPrecisely. Itĺs five feps.ö
ôSo itĺs also twenty-five ubs, right?ö Lili asked.
ôExactly.ö It had five raised pyramids on the back, arranged around a central pentagonal-shaped cutout. ôAnd here,ö the Calafan produced a large coin with an image of four stars on its obverse, ôis a lo. Itĺs our main unit of currency, equivalent to one hundred ubs or four abics. Here are two five lo pieces.ö They had the same image of four stars but a similar pentagonal cutout like the abic.
ôDo you have paper money?ö asked Doug.
ôWe do not. That would be lighter, I imagine.ö Treve smiled. ôThis is why our tailors fashion us clothing with very strong pockets. Otherwise weĺd be losing our funds all the time.ö He showed off a reinforced pocket on his tunic.
Lili counted. ôUh, looks like this is, um, twelve los and sixteen ubs, total.ö
ôWhat could we buy with that?ö asked Doug.
ôPlenty of things. Iĺll take you to the big open air market. You can also get credit for larger purchases. Tell anyone you work with me and Iĺm sure youĺll get credit. It does pay to be the eldest son of the First Minister and the High Priestess, you know.ö
ôYouĺre a life saver!ö Lili gushed. Treve looked at her strangely. Perhaps the translation had failed. ôUh, it means youĺre very helpful.ö
ôAh,ö he said, ôIĺm sure that wonĺt be the last confusing idiom. Ready?ö
Re: "Local Flavor" (May 2012 Out of Uniform Challenge Entry)
The ride was to the outskirts of Fep City, not far from where there were cultivated fields, so that farmers could readily bring their produce to the market. ôNow, I need to go and gather my sister and brother from their lessons and then to visit our mother in the Main Hospital,ö Treve said. ôI should be back in about an hour. Will that be all right?ö
ôSure,ö said Lili. ôI hope your mother is feeling better. And give our best to Yimar and Chelben,ö she said, referring to Treveĺs two younger siblings.
ôI will.ö He departed.
ôReady?ö Doug asked, taking her hand.
ôYou bet,ö she said, hoping the translation program could keep up with everything.
There was a huge Calafan man in front when they came in, sitting on a stool and whittling what appeared to be the figure of a many-legged animal. He had complicated silvery scrollwork up and down his arms that was not unlike Liliĺs tattoos. He also had silvery blond hair down to his shoulders. These were signs that he was perhaps fifty years old. He saw how lost they both looked. ôLooking for something in particular?ö he asked. His accent was almost Irish through the translation program.
ôFoods for dinner,ö Lili said.
ôThat could be anything. You are not Calafans. I have never seen your species before.ö
ôWeĺre humans,ö Doug said.
ôInteresting,ö said the man. ôYou are one of the night people,ö he said to Doug, using the Calafan term for people from the mirror universe. For Calafans, dreams about the denizens of the mirror were common occurrences. The man then flicked his finger at Lili twice. ôAre you vegans?ö
ôNo,ö she said, ôbut maybe weĺll start with fruits and vegetables, all right?ö Doug nodded in agreement.
ôOver there,ö the man pointed. He flicked his finger again as they thanked him and departed.
There was a woman with very long whitish blonde hair and nearly blank arms standing at a stall. Lili knew that the woman was probably rather old. ôCan I be of assistance?ö asked the woman, her voice quavering a bit.
ôYes, I am looking for something to make for dinner this evening,ö Lili said.
There were what looked a bit like wheelbarrows with produce in them. It all seemed to be the same kind of item except for its color. One barrow had very dark purple globes of what was possibly fruit. In another, the color was mid-range purple. In a third, there was fruit of a light lavender color. In a fourth, there were grey pieces. Lili picked up a grey piece tentatively and sniffed it. The old woman laughed. ôYou have never seen olowa before! Those are not for eating! But they do make fine projectiles. That is the discard pile.ö
ôOh,ö Lili said, putting the grey piece back. It had felt hard to her, and dense, and the skin hadnĺt sprung back at all. ôWhat are the differences, other than color? If there, uh, are any differences, that is.ö
ôThere are. You have a discerning eye. Here, I will give you a taste.ö The old woman took out a small knife and first cut open a slice from a small globe that was a very dark purple, a sort of aubergine color. She gave pieces to both Lili and Doug.
ôItĺs sweet,ö he said, ôbut I canĺt place the flavor.ö
ôPears,ö Lili said.
ôYeah, pears.ö
ôThis is very good,ö Lili said, ôYou called it, what oh-lo-wuh?ö She pronounced the unfamiliar word carefully.
This time, the translation program took a little while to do its work. ôYes. That is olowa. It is very young. Thatĺs why it has that color,ö explained the old woman. She wiped off and then cut open a small globe that was mid-range purple in color.
ôWhat is this?ö asked Lili.
ôIt is still olowa,ö said the old woman, handing a small piece to each of them.
Lili took a bite and the juice dripped down her chin. ôMan! This one is kinda spicy!ö Various Calafan men walked by, staring a bit. A few of them flicked their fingers at her and one flicked his finger at Doug. Then they went back to looking at their PADDs.
Doug asked, ôIs the light purple stuff also olowa?ö
ôYes,ö the woman said, cutting up another small globe.
ôWhat do we owe you for all of these?ö he asked, mindful of their budget.
ôWe will talk money later,ö she said. ôTry this.ö
ôHoly cow, itĺs like peanuts,ö he said. Lili nodded. ôWeĺll, uh,ö he said, ôhow much for, I dunno, two of each kind?ö
ôSix abics.ö
ôSounds good to me,ö Lili said.
Doug paid the woman, who wrapped everything up in mesh. As they left, the old woman flicked her finger at him. ôHuh,ö he said as they walked. ôI wonder what that means.ö
ôDonĺt look at me,ö Lili said.
ôCan we get meat?ö he asked.
ôMy idea exactly.ö They passed through crowds of familiar and unfamiliar species. One couple had ridges on the bridges of their noses. They appeared to be very much in love ľ perhaps this was some sort of a honeymoon type of trip to the Lafa System. There was a family of Andorians who were eagerly snapping photographs of nearly everything. A pair of Vulcan women were discussing something, and their speech was so rapid that the PADD ľ which was so much slower than a Universal Translator even under the best of circumstances ľ could not keep up at all.
There were whispers all around them and all that could be understood was the phrase ľ he is one of the night people.
There was a stall with a wooden sign that was just a crude picture of a bird. There were parts indicated with arrows and circles. Lili approached the vendor, a young woman who repeatedly flicked her finger at Doug. ôWhat is this that youĺre selling?ö Lili asked.
ôElekai,ö said the young woman. ôI have the top half and the bottom half. Good eating.ö
ôWhatĺs the difference, other than the placement on the body?ö asked Lili.
ôBottom is,ö the translator hesitated, ôfattier. It tastes better salted.ö
ôHow do you cook it?ö
ôRoast it in an oven or pound thin to make flat, then wrap around mature olowa and fry in linfep fat.ö
ôWhatĺs linfep?ö Doug asked. ôDo you sell it?ö
ôI do not. Linfep is sold over there,ö she pointed.
ôHalf a kilogram of the upper half ľ how much is that?ö asked Lili.
ôThirteen abics. Lower half is less; it is a special today. Only ten abics.ö
ôCan we afford both?ö Lili asked Doug quietly as the girl waited on another customer.
ôYeah, sure,ö he said, looking at the coins in his palm, and then the ones in hers. ôHey, look, theyĺve got clothes.ö
ôLetĺs get dinner together first, okay?ö
ôOkay,ö he said. ôHalf a kilo of each kind,ö he said to the shopgirl. ôHow big does an elekai get anyway?ö he asked as she was cutting from an enormous carcass.
ôThree meters high or so.ö She looked up at him. ôDoes Mister have a nighttime girl?ö
ôA what?ö asked Doug.
ôNighttime. You know, you sleep and dream of a lover. We do this. You are new here and you are from the night. Perhaps you need one.ö
ôUh, no,ö Doug said. ôNo, thank you.ö
He and Lili walked to the linfep stall. ôI have the fat in jars,ö said the man at the stall. There were what looked like complete carcasses in the barrow in front of him.
Lili walked over to a linfep carcass and tentatively touched it. It was furry. ôIt looks a bit like a rabbit,ö she said. ôAre these vegetarian animals?ö
ôNot always,ö said the man. He pried open the jaws of one of the carcasses and Lili saw that the linfep, while it otherwise looked just like a hare, had fangs.
ôOh my gosh!ö she exclaimed. She paid for a small jar of the fat. ôI do hope this isnĺt too, uh, gamey.ö
He laughed and, again, there was finger flicking at her from male Calafan customers and from the shopkeeper. She looked at him. ôWhat does this mean?ö she flicked back.
ôMissus is a pretty lady,ö he said to her. ôThe flicking is to show that. Will you tell me your name, and what it means? I want to know.ö He was close, leering at her. She shrank back.
ôWhat?ö demanded Doug. ôAre you trying to make time with my girl?ö Doug had been a tough guy. He had sworn to Lili that he would leave behind his attitude from that universe. But he still had some vestiges of the harsher, rougher place. He could be very menacing when he wanted to be. His hands balled up into fists as he glared at the Calafan with suspicion.
ôBut you are a night man brought to the daytime, yes?ö asked the Calafan fellow, ignoring Dougĺs posturings. ôPerhaps Missus wants her nights to become spicy again.ö
ôHer nights are still plenty spicy.ö
ôSo Mister does not need the tofflin root, eh?ö
ôWhatever the hell that means,ö Doug said through clenched teeth, ôI donĺt need it. I donĺt need anything. Leave my girl alone.ö
ôMissus has her own mind, yes? Why not ask her?ö
Lili glanced at the Calafan. ôThis is a bad idea,ö she said to him. She retreated some more. She was forty-eight and was not exactly striking, and was unused to being ogled so much.
ôYeah, itĺs a bad idea,ö Doug said, getting up close into the Calafanĺs face. ôYou touch her, or, hell, you even think about touching her, and youĺre a goner.ö
ôDoug!ö Lili was mortified.
ôMissus is upset. Canĺt you see that? Even the night people can understand that, right? Right?ö
ôYou stay away,ö Doug seethed. ôAll of you.ö He glanced around angrily at a small crowd that had gathered. They whispered amongst themselves. The night people, they have tempers.
Lili got in between them. ôDoug, itĺs the first day. We, uh, thereĺs going to be all sorts of things that wonĺt make sense to us, or will feel like insults when maybe theyĺre not.ö She turned to the Calafan. ôWhatĺs, uh, whatĺs tofflin?ö
ôMissus should go over to that stall over there.ö He pointed, his arm a mass of silver with white spots. The pattern was not yet coherent, so the man was maybe thirty or forty or so. ôAnd what about your nighttime spice?ö he asked again, undressing her with his eyes.
ôNo, thanks,ö she said sharply, turning on her heel.
They went to the tofflin stall. There were plants in pots, huge, tall and spindly, and ecru or green, with a few leaves but mostly stalks, some of which reached up a good two meters or so. They superficially resembled bamboo. There were some small bags of what appeared to be flour, probably made by crushing some part or another of the plant. There were also snaky roots tied into bunches with what looked like raffia ribbon, and there were leaves in bunches, but those were tied together and hanging from hooks above. There were clear liquid-filled jars, too, but they were larger than at the linfep stall. The liquid was a light blue-green in color.
Two women were handling the stall, perhaps they were sisters. ôTofflin juice?ö one of them asked.
ôCan I taste it first?ö Lili asked.
A small amount was poured into a shallow cup. ôIt is for energy,ö said the other shopgirl.
Lili tasted it. It was a little like honeydew melon. Then it hit her, and her heart started to race like an express train. ôWhoa!ö she exclaimed. ôItĺs a stimulant.ö
Doug came over. ôDonĺt drink any more of it. Unless, of course, you wanna be up all night.ö He smiled at her and put an arm around her. ôHere, Iĺll have some, too.ö He took a sip. ôHuh, that is strong. Say,ö he said to the shopgirls, ôwhatĺs so special about the roots?ö
One of the shopgirls giggled at him a little nervously. ôIt is in case Mister has problems in the bedroom. But Mister,ö she flicked her finger at him, ôI think he does not have such problems.ö
ôIĺll, um, go look at the clothes,ö Doug said, shaking his head and laughing a bit. He gave Lili a share of his remaining funds.
ôHow much for a bag of the flour?ö Lili asked.
ôTen feps. It is made from the stalks. We can throw in a jar of juice for only one more fep. Otherwise it is normally three feps.ö
ôAll right. What about the leaves? How do you cook them?ö
ôMissus should not cook them. They contain naturally occurring tricoulamine and are poisonous. But if there are too many linfep around, you can spread leaves on the ground and that will remove the unwanted visitors from your yard.ö
ôHuh, maybe next time.ö
ôLili?ö It was Doug. He had on a blue Calafan tunic that he was trying on. ôWhaddaya think?ö
She smiled at the shopgirls as she paid them. ôJust a sec.ö
She came over. ôI like it. Youĺre going native, eh?ö
ôI guess I am. The pockets are heavy duty and have little compartments; they can definitely hold the coins. You got everything you want?ö
ôI dunno, maybe.ö
A small shuttle landed near the market. Eska hunters got out and brought over huge carcasses to an unoccupied stall. Their kills were enormous squid with fourteen or so tentacles or perhaps they were legs. They were as wide and seemed to be as sturdy as the legs of a full-grown elephant. Lili immediately went over. ôWhat are those?ö
ôPrako,ö said one of the hunters. ôTwenty los for each.ö
ôToo rich for my blood,ö she said, ôWhere are they native?ö
ôThey are from outside the Lafa System. That is why they are expensive.ö
ôI see. Thank you.ö She walked away.
ôItĺs too pricey,ö she said to Doug. ôHow much for your tunic?ö
He looked at the sign that was stuck into the barrow where the tunics were placed. ôUh, itĺs three pyramids and four stars.ö
ôExcuse me, Miss, is this one lo and seventy-five ubs?ö Lili asked.
ôNo, it is fifteen los.ö
ôOh. We canĺt afford it,ö Lili said.
ôWait, Treve said we could get credit,ö Doug reminded her.
ôTreve? You know Treve?ö asked the shopkeeper.
ôHeĺs my business partner. Weĺre looking to open up a restaurant in Fep City,ö Lili explained.
ôCredit then! You will need someone to make uniforms and tablecloths. I hope you will keep me in mind. And it will be thirteen los.ö She tapped out the information on her PADD and clicked it next to Liliĺs in order to transfer data.
ôOh, thank you! Thatĺs very kind of you,ö Lili said. She turned and almost ran into a small Tellarite child carrying what looked like a linfep carcass until she peered more closely and realized it was a stuffed linfep toy, but the toyĺs skin was real linfep fur.
ôHad about enough?ö it was a clipped, cultured accent ľ Treve himself.
ôYeah, I think so,ö Doug said. ôWhaddaya think?ö He modeled the tunic.
ôThat is a Lafa V fashion. They are a bit more like workingmen there; I suppose that would be the best way to put it. There are a lot of factories and the like.ö
ôSo I look like a construction worker?ö Doug asked.
The translation, again, was a little delayed. ôPerhaps a little,ö said Treve.
ôTreve!ö Lili said, suddenly getting an idea. ôCome to dinner. Bring your brother and your sister, all right?ö
Doug glanced over. All of the talk of nighttime spice was making him interested in something other than a meal. ôMaybe Treve and his family want to stay in tonight.ö He came closer and pressed on her hand. He very quietly said, ôWe need to get used to the new bed.ö
She reddened a little. ôI know, but we can do that a little later, right?ö She pulled on his sleeve and even more quietly said to him, whispering in his ear, ôWe need to thank him somehow.ö
ôOh, uh yeah. Treve,ö he said more loudly, ôplease come to dinner.ö
ôI would be delighted.ö
The four of them sat together as Lili served. ôNow, I have no idea how anything turned out. Chef Slocum from the NX-01 gave us a few things so I added some of them in there and so itĺs kind of, er, eclectic.ö
There was a salad made of strips of different-colored olowa. But there was no dressing. The meats were the upper half of an elekai, ground and made into meatloaf and topped with some of Chef Slocumĺs homemade tomato sauce and garnished with strips of the lower half of an elekai. There was more olowa on the side, but it was only the lightest-colored kind, which had been fried in linfep fat as suggested. She knew enough to not give anyone any tofflin juice at supper, so they all had tumblers filled with ice water.
Lili sat down. ôWell?ö
ôMost interesting,ö said Treve. ôI donĺt know as Iĺve seen elekai cooked in quite this manner.ö
ôThe upper half seems to taste more like chicken,ö Lili said after tasting some.
ôAnd the lower half is, I canĺt place it,ö Doug said. ôFatty chicken?ö
ôNo, I think itĺs more like duck,ö Lili said.
ôI donĺt know what any of that is,ö said Yimar. She was a fourteen year old girl and she and their younger brother were as bald as Treve. ôCĺmon, Chelben, try the molded loaf.ö
ôI donĺt wanna.ö Chelben was a little boy of four. ôI want perrazin!ö He folded his solid silver arms and pouted a bit.
ôPeh-rah-zin,ö Doug said slowly, turning over the unfamiliar word as he said it for the first time, ôwhatĺs that?ö
ôHere,ö Yimar clicked on her own PADD to show him a picture.
ôIt looks like a big blonde buffalo,ö Doug said.
ôWith tusks like a walrus,ö Lili added as she looked. ôHow do you like to eat elekai?ö she asked the little boy.
ôHe likes it baked with tofflin flour paste,ö Yimar explained after a delay with the translation. ôBut I can never get it right.ö
ôWell, Iĺll try that next time, all right?ö Lili said.
ôLili is trying very hard,ö Treve said to his brother. ôPlease have a few bites.ö
Chelben pushed the sauce away and then, finally, ended up eating some. Then he ate the fried olowa but not the raw.
ôThatĺs a victory,ö Yimar said. ôUsually he doesnĺt eat that much olowa.ö
ôHow is your mother doing?ö Doug asked.
ôBetter; she is beginning to recognize us again,ö Yimar said as the translation was, again, a little delayed. ôIt is very moving to see.ö
ôTreve,ö Lili asked, changing the subject, ôwe got a lot of this when we were at the market.ö She flicked her finger a couple of times.
ôOh, I should have warned you. So many people are on the make, it seems. It means that youĺre attractive and wanted. I do hope you didnĺt do this in response.ö He touched the tip of his nose.
ôWhat does that mean?ö asked Doug, taking seconds of the loaf.
ôThat means yes,ö Yimar said. ôAnd this is no.ö She tugged on an earlobe.
ôThereĺs a lot to get used to here,ö Doug said.
ôIĺm so glad we know you,ö Lili agreed. ôOtherwise this would feel so impossible.ö
ôYouĺve got novelty on your side. And I suppose we have knowledge,ö Treve said. ôIĺd say we are at the start of a good partnership. For the restaurant and anything else that grabs our attention.ö
Lili brought out dessert, a small cake made from tofflin stalk flour, linfep fat and some blueberry jam that Chef Slocum had given them. She cut the cake into six pieces.
Chelben loudly counted the pieces. ôUb, fep, abic, lo, thumb, ub twice thumb.ö He looked up. ôWe only have thumb people, not ub twice thumb.ö
ôThe extra is for your mother in the Main Hospital,ö Lili said, ôyou can keep the piece in the freezing part of your refrigeration unit and, when she is well enough, please give this to her, from us.ö
ôWhat kind of cake is this? It is good,ö Yimar said.
Doug thought for a minute, about to say blueberry. Instead, he said, ôI think weĺll call it Partnership Cake.ö He looked into Liliĺs eyes, the lightest possible blue, and she smiled at him. Those were two of the many things he already knew he loved about her. She nodded once in acknowledgement and agreement.
ôBon appetit,ö said Lili.
Re: "Local Flavor" (May 2012 Out of Uniform Challenge Entry)
I loved your story, jespah! I like the idea of these two characters starting over on the other side, and the feeling that they are new to Lafa II and Lafa II is new to them. You effectively captured the freshness of their first venture into the Calafan world and I really felt like I was there with them, discovering all those unusual, but exciting market products.
You also did a fine job at painting a realistic picture of the world you set your story in. Lafa II sounds alive, real and neatly detailed. :techman:
Oh, and I love your term night people. :D
Re: "Local Flavor" (May 2012 Out of Uniform Challenge Entry)
Oh! Thank you so much!
Ah, those night people. I hear they have tempers. ;)
Re: "Local Flavor" (May 2012 Out of Uniform Challenge Entry)
Nicely done! I enjoyed your story. :)

I took a trip through our news archives this week and tried to figure out why the Northampton County School Board closed Northampton Middle School back in 2008.
It's not a new question. A former superintendent essentially questioned its closure in a piece published during the summer.
But it was on my mind this week - just a few weeks before the county's first-ever School Board election - because nobody is bringing it up. ...

Pregnant Jessica Simpson Steps Out to Lunch With Fiance Eric Johnson And Pal at Cheesecake Factory
Sweet treats for the mommy-to-be! Jessica Simpson enjoyed lunch with her fiance Eric Johnson and a friend at the Cheesecake Factory in Los Angeles on Saturday, Feb. 16, and the threesome even took a few snacks home.
Simpson, 32, who stepped out for a Valentine's Day lunch dressed up in a festive pink blazer with Johnson, 33, at The Ivy earlier in the week, looked positively radiant in an all-black ensemble topped with a navy green jacket. She grinned at her pal on the escalator as they made their way into the valet parking area.
NFL player Johnson similarly kept things casual in a grey hood and a San Francisco 49ers baseball cap. The daddy-to-be clutched a Cheesecake Factory takeaway bag in his left hand.

The happy couple, who announced their baby news via Twitter on Christmas Day just two months ago, is already preparing to make room for their expanding brood.
"She's already met with designers!" a source told Us Weekly of the singer's recent bid to buy Sharon Osbourne's $13 million 11,000-square-foot mansion in the Hidden Hills, Calif.
PHOTOS: Maxwell Drew's cutest moments
According to the source, Simpson plans to redo Osbourne's closet and turn it into a nursery for baby Maxwell's little brother or sister. Earlier this year, Simpson spoke with Jay Leno about her second pregnancy.
"We're doing it very backwards, I know … I'll just keep my legs crossed, I guess, this time," the Fashion Star mentor joked, referring to her and Johnson's delayed nuptials. "Apparently it was a part of God's plan for my life."

"I was extremely shocked," she continued, about finding out about her second pregnancy. "Because I was going through a lot of hormonal changes, trying to get back to the old, vibrant Jessica. You know, it was kind of like a one-night stand. And it happened, all over again!"

Report: Patriots not looking to cut CB Alfonzo Dennard
When Aaron Hernandez was arrested in connection with the shooting death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, it took the Patriots less than two hours to release the tight end from the team.
But it looks like second-year cornerback Alfonzo Dennard will keep his job for now in New England after he was arrested for the second time in 15 months. Last week he was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
That's according to the Boston Globe, which reports the Patriots have decided not to cut Dennard.
The team, though, is preparing for a possible league suspension.
In April 2012, a week before the NFL Draft, Dennard was arrested and charged with assaulting a police officer. In February, he was convicted, and received 30 days in jail (to be served beginning in March 2014) and two years of probation.
Now, the state of Nebraska is looking to revoke his probation after his most recent arrest, and an arraignment is scheduled for July 31. Dennard's representatives are claiming Dennard passed a breathalyzer and field sobriety tests, according to the Globe. The officer who arrested Dennard said he didn't blow hard enough into the breathalyzer tube.


text: so say i have a nichrom wire of 0.5 mm dia, and pass 230 v through it.and i coil it up, but some part of the coil touched (imagine the wire parallel to each other so basically 2 circle.) will it short the circuit? i have been told that the area they touch is extremely smaller since they are circular, so the resistance is very high compare to going through the wire normally, hence it doesn't short?

His Email address in the U.K. is

(Don't forget his middle initial, because there is another J.MacDonald in
the Chemistry Department.) In the U.K., Email addresses are the opposite
way round from the rest of the world, so to you his address would be

Anyway, you just substitute "J.R.MacDonald" for "C.P.ODonnaile" in whatever

I think there were actually three candidates in the Irish presidential
election. Ireland was all abuzz with it when I was there. Something about
a scandal. Anyway it was all beyond me. I was more interested in the
Oireachtas - the Irish Gaelic festival I was attending. I think that none
of the present candidates speak Gaelic as well as the departing president.
I may be wrong. But if it is true it is a very bad thing, considering the
number of official and cultural events they have to speak at.

Portal:Cornwall/Selected biography
Selected biography
|To nominate new selected biographies for inclusion on the Cornwall portal, make a suggestion at Portal talk:Cornwall.
Richard Trevithick (13 April 1771 - 22 April 1833) was a British inventor, engineer and builder of the first working steam locomotive. He was born in Tregajorran, in between Camborne and Redruth, which at the time was a rich mining area of Cornwall. The son of a mine 'captain' and a miner's daughter, as a child he would watch steam engines pump water from the deep tin and copper mines.
His first job was building and modifying steam engines, and as he became more experienced, he realised that improvements in boiler technology permitted the safe production of high pressure steam, and that this could be made to move a piston in a steam engine on its own account. In 1799 he became the first person to make high pressure steam work, and started building his first models of high pressure steam engines.Trevithick built a full-size steam road locomotive in 1801 on a site near the present day Fore Street in Camborne, the 'Puffing Devil', and demonstrated it by successfully carrying several men up Fore Street and then continuing on up Camborne Hill, from Camborne Cross to the nearby village of Beacon. This event is recognised as the first demonstration of steam powered transportation, and it later inspired the popular Cornish folk song "Camborne Hill". Trevithick went on to work in Shropshire and then in Wales, where he designed and successfully tested the world's first railway locomotive.
Humphry Davy, 1st Baronet (17 December 1778 – 29 May 1829) was a British chemist and inventor, best remembered today for his discoveries of several alkali and alkaline earth elements, as well as contributions to the discoveries of the elemental nature of chlorine and iodine. He invented the Davy lamp, which allowed miners to enter gassy workings. Berzelius called Davy's 1806 Bakerian Lecture On Some Chemical Agencies of Electricity "one of the best memoirs which has ever enriched the theory of chemistry." This paper was central to any chemical affinity theory in the first half of the nineteenth century. He was born in Penzance.
William Bligh, FRS (9th September 1754 – 7th December 1817) was an officer of the British Royal Navy and colonial administrator. He is best known for the famous mutiny that occurred against his command aboard HMAV (His Majesty's Armed Vessel) Bounty and the remarkable voyage he made to Timor on the Bounty's launch after being set adrift by the mutineers. Born in St Tudy, Cornwall, Bligh was certainly not the vicious man portrayed in popular fiction, some claim his over-sensitivity and acid tongue damaged what would have otherwise been a distinguished career.
Richard Lemon Lander (8 February 1804 – 6 February 1834) was a Cornish explorer of western Africa. In 1832 he became the first winner of the Royal Geographical Society Founder's Medal, "for important services in determining the course and termination of the Niger".
The son of a Truro innkeeper, Lander's explorations began as an assistant to the Scottish explorer Hugh Clapperton on an expedition to western Africa in 1825. After returning to Britain in 1828, he went to western Africa again in 1830, accompanied by his brother John. They landed at Badagri on 22 March 1830 and followed the lower Niger River from Bussa to the sea. After exploring about 160 kilometres of the Niger River upstream, they returned to explore the Benue River and Niger Delta. They travelled back to Britain in 1831.
In 1832, Lander returned again to Africa as leader of an expedition organized by Macgregor Laird and other Liverpudlian merchants, with the intention of founding a trading settlement at the junction of the Niger and Benue rivers. However, the expedition encountered difficulties, many personnel died from fever and it failed to reach Bussa. While journeying upstream in a canoe, Lander was attacked by African tribesmen and wounded by a musket ball in his thigh. He managed to return to the coast, but died there from his injuries.In Truro, a monument to his memory by Cornish sculptor Neville Northey Burnard stands at the top of Lemon Street and one of the local secondary schools is named in his honour. In 1832 he became the first winner of the Royal Geographical Society Founder's Medal, "for important services in determining the course and termination of the Niger".
Mark of Cornwall was a king of the Kingdom of Cornwall in the early 6th century. He is most famous for his appearance in Arthurian legend as the uncle of Tristan and husband of Iseult, who engage in a secret affair behind his back.
Legend says that Mark sent Tristan as his proxy to fetch his young bride, the Princess Iseult from Ireland. Tristan and Iseult fall in love, and, with the help of a magic potion, proceed to have a stormy love affair. Mark suspects of the affair and eventually, his suspicions are confirmed. In some versions, he sends for Tristan to be hanged, and Iseult to a leper colony. Tristan escapes the hanging and rescues Mark's bride from her confinement, later to be discovered by Mark. Mark eventually forgives them, with Isolde returning to Mark and Tristan leaving the country.In the Prose Tristan, Mark's character deteriorates from a sympathetic cuckold to a downright villain. He rapes his niece and then murders her when she produces his son, Meraugis, and he murders his brother Baldwin as well. In earlier versions of the story Tristan dies in Brittany, far away from Mark, but in the Prose Tristan Mark stabs Tristan while he plays the harp under a tree for Iseult. Though this version of Mark's character was popular in other medieval works, including the Romance of Palamedes and Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, modern versions of the Tristan and Iseult legend tend to take their inspiration from the older poetic material, and Mark becomes a sympathetic character once again. In these legends Mark is usually seen as ruling Cornwall from Tintagel Castle.

Revealed! Secrets of the Rat Pack lair, Cal-Neva, where Frank Sinatra, JFK and Marilyn Monroe consorted with the mob and partied like unrepentant hell spawn.
The Lake Tahoe den of iniquity was said to have been bought by frequent client Joseph Kennedy, Patriarch of the Camelot clan, through an alleged front.
In 1960 when JFK was running for President it was bought by crooner Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and others. Dino joked "Frank got the Nevada side with the gambling and the booze. I got the California side. It's got six pay toilets and a picture of Richard Nixon."
But Sinatra biographers insist the casino was secretly owned by Chicago Mafia kingpin Sam Giancana, the one-time heir to Al Capone.
Sinatra and pals reportedly built a complex labyrinth of tunnels beneath the carnal house where Giancana could visit Cal-Neva secretly after being banned by the Nevada gaming authorities.
The tunnels were also used by President Kennedy and Monroe to sneak to and from their respective rooms unseen for sex romps.
After Marilyn was dumped by both John AND Robert Kennedy, the sex symbol was visibly depressed, boozy and popping pills when she was snapped by a photog with crime lord Giancana.
"Marilyn (was) on all fours," the photographer revealed. "She looked sick. Astride her, either riding her like a horse or trying to help her up - I couldn't make out which - was Sam Giancana."
Partying for three straight nights at Cal-Neva, Marilyn returned home to Hollywood and was found dead a few days later.
Like the lonely desert itself many of Cal-Neva's darkest secrets still remain shrouded in the notoriety of the past.
POP FYI: JFK and Giancana also shared mistress Judith Exner.

Jessie J appeared to be taking a leaf out of fellow global superstar Rihanna's book last night when she upped the raunch factor for her set at Wireless festival. In fact, the singer was the warm up for Rihanna and despite the rain belted out a standout set in her usual fearless style, covering all her hits including Domino and Price Tag.
We've long been fans of Jessie's outrageous style and, having been the face of tights brand Pretty Polly, it should come as no surprise that she came out wearing the briefest of denim shorts and a white crop top (erm, has she seen the weather?!) over the bondage-style Pamela Mann straparound tights.
Bondage tights first exploded onto the scene after a version by Wolford was spotted on Cheryl Cole and became an instant sellout. Not for the fainthearted, they can add a touch of sexiness or punky cool to your look, but treat them with caution – teaming them with leather, too much black or too much flesh on show can be a recipe for disaster.
We like that Jessie's kept it clean with crisp white and pale denim, and we LOVE her longer line hair which completely transforms her face. However, for everyday life we would maybe los the scarf she's draped around her waist and opt for a longer
t-shirt or even a smarter collared shirt.
However you wear them, you'll be surprised with how easy it is to get the celeb look – at under £15, these Pamela Mann straparound tights are worth every penny and will attract compliments everywhere you go. Not quite your thing? Try checking out the rest of the collection of Jessie J tights for some other quirky styles of fashion tights that might be just what you're looking for.

Well, one obvious step would be to not start off with the boy and the girl in a relationship. The "become a hero
getting the girl" trope is the cinematic norm for good reason.
Also, between
The Aviator
and the Starks, the whole Howard Hughes thing might be a bit overdone at this point; might be best to come up with a different origin for the jet pack. Emmet Brown, Sr., anyone?

To the editor:
To the citizens of Camillus, NY. I am a native Marcellian, and I read with interest about the proposed Kirk LED sign. Although I agree it will be large and not what one would expect to see on the quiet Main St. of Camillus, I must say that at the very least, Mr. Kirk has done a beautiful job with improving the the buildings. I could only wish that same thing could be said for the person who has "purchased" several storefronts in the center of Marcellus. They have yet to be fully completed. They sit empty, and/or half finished, with peeling paint on those that are "open for business," an eyesore, that shows no sign of completion. I can't speak for any others in Marcellus, but I bet if you asked, they would gladly have a large LED sign ... as opposed to the paint peeling, empty and half competed buildings that greet residents and visitors alike.

December 1, 2015
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Department of Transportation is studying how to improve Interstate 24.
The highway crosses the central part of the state diagonally and nowhere are the challenges to upgrading it more challenging than in Chattanooga.
TDOT spokeswoman Jennifer Flynn in Chattanooga told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that having a mountain and a railroad on one side of I-24 and the river on the other, options are limited.
Agency project manager Joan Barnfield said TDOT is at a stage where it wants people to tell it where they see problems and if they have any solutions to offer.
There is a public meeting at the Brainerd Community Center on April 25.
Barnfield said a consultant is identifying problems and helping find solutions.

Teenager cited in Plainfield home invasion
PLAINFIELD — Vermont State Police say an Essex Junction teen broke into a Plainfield home early Tuesday.
State police say Philip Hoeppner, 64, was at home on Cameron Road when he heard a noise inside his house. When Hoeppner yelled to see what the noise was, he heard a loud crash and the door to his residence opening. State police say a passer-by told Hoeppner a male juvenile had been seen running from the house into a wooded area.
Police say items had been tampered with and a piece of jewelry taken.
The juvenile was later found with the assistance of police dogs and cited on a burglary charge.
The teen, whose name has not been released, is to be arraigned in Washington County criminal court in Barre on Oct. 17.MORE IN This Just In

Ice hockey Equipment is all that separates a player from being injured and safety. My brother plays and I have tried it a couple of times and you really feel the benefit when you are being pounded by someone or like me, you fall over. you have a helmet, body protection, a big pair of shorts, leg pads, elbo pads and gloves. That does not include the obvious box that men wear. Its a real rough game and this stuff that they wear is not because they are babies, its because its required. If it protects my brother, then that is fine by me.
