Kuwait's Kharafi says committed to Zain
Kharafi Group not looking to sell its stake in Zain; Zain to keep existing mobile licences; Zain targets ISPs, submarine cables, bets on data to lift revenue
November 23, 2011 10:57 by Reuters
Bader al-Kharafi, whose family and related companies are thought to control about a quarter of Zain, and who sits on the company's board, also told Reuters in an interview that Zain would not be selling any of its seven mobile licences and planned to acquire Internet service providers to boost data revenue.
Kharafi's family conglomerate, which directly owns about 16 percent of the telecoms group, remains committed to Zain, he said, dismissing speculation the family needed to sell up.
Kharafi Group has led two consortia that agreed to sell a controlling stake in Zain. The last deal, a $12 billion sale to the UAE's Etisalat, collapsed in March.
When asked if the family was looking to sell its holdings in Zain, Kharafi said: "No, we are not."
Kharafi has emerged as a higher profile figure in the family conglomerate since the death of his father, Nasser al-Kharafi, in April. The senior Kharafi built a business empire that spans real estate, retail and financial services and is core to the Gulf state's economy.
It owns stakes in Kuwait Food Co, National Investments Co and National Industries Group .
Kharafi said Zain would focus on implementing a new strategy, which has been approved by the board and management.
"We are keeping all the assets and we are focusing on improving them and investing in them," Kharafi said in an interview at his Kuwait City office.
"The board is aligned. This is a new board and we have approved our new vision, which is going into data, acquiring ISPs (internet service providers) and submarine cables."
Bitter disagreement among Zain's board over the Etisalat deal was among the reasons the UAE operator walked away.
Zain shareholders elected a new board in April, including Kharafi, prompting one former member who was not re-elected and had opposed the Etisalat deal to launch legal action.
A Kuwaiti court in September ruled the board meeting void, but Zain has appealed and the latest hearing is expected this week.
"We are confident we did everything by the book and according to the laws and regulations," said Kharafi, acknowledging that Zain's day-to-day operations were affected by the protracted Etisalat discussions.
"During the year we were working on the deal, there wasn't really a vision of putting more capex (capital expenditure)," said Kharafi. "It was tough to make such huge decisions on behalf of the company during that process."
In 2010, Zain sold most of its African assets to India's Bharti Airtel for $9 billion, reducing its footprint from 23 countries to just seven and ending its plans to become a top 10 global telecom player. The deal enabled Zain to pay out about $5.78 billion in two dividends.
"Zain's dividends weren't paid out because of liquidity issues in the Kharafi group," he said. "The reason shareholders invest in a company is to get returns and Zain made a good profit from selling Africa so why keep that cash on the balance sheet?"
Zain's shares are down 40 percent in 2011, ending Monday at a 21-month low while the Kuwait index has fallen 17 percent this year.
Like other Gulf operators, Zain is betting on data to help offset falling voice margins as mobile subscriber growth stagnates.
The operator may also acquire new mobile licences or buy other operators if the price is right, Kharafi said, and the telecom player may spin off its network operations.
"It makes much more sense for the operator to lease the network from a separate company and give them the headache of the operational expenses," said Kharafi, adding Zain could set up network management companies in conjunction with rival operators.
Zain, in which Kuwait government and associated institutions also hold an estimated 30 percent stake, operates mobile licences in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan and Bahrain. Its total consolidated debt is $1.9 billion, while its available cash is $1.4 billion.
In October, affiliate Zain Saudi, where Kharafi is also a board member, announced plans to raise new capital.
"Zain is committed to be part of that capital increase," said Kharafi. (By Matt Smith; Editing by Amran Abocar and Andrew Callus)

It was my favorite day in France. I was worried there wouldn't be enough time at the abby but it did not feel rushed. I recommend it and bring a light rain jacket with you.
Great tour guide and beautiful views!
Excellent tour of Mont St. Michel. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and was very helpful.
We were extremely pleased with our tour to Mont Saint Michel. This is a marvel of medieval architecture and history. Our trip was in early June 2015. We picked up our tour bus at the travel office. You go inside the office with your voucher to obtain the bus tickets. The staff is very organize and will direct you to the line for your bus. The bus ride is long but it does stop at a very nice rest stop coming and going where you can stretch your legs, purchase snacks and use the rest rooms. We had lunch before taking a shuttle bus with our guide to the island. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was efficient in serving the large group. Although it is a fixed menu, the food was fine not great. For a first time visit, we highly recommend the guided tour to hear the long and incredible history of the Abby which makes the trip more meaningful. Also a guide can efficiently escort you through this immense structure. Sufficient time is allowed to see the Abby and free time to visit some of the small shops the streets were crowed with tourists. The weather was lovely, so we walked on the promenade about 20-25 minutes to return to the tour bus. However, you can take the shuttle. The shuttles can have long lines and fill up quickly. Just plan appropriately to get back to the bus in time for departure. This was a great trip that was very well organized!
Beautiful trip but the lunch was my favourite. Next time I would plan to eat in the town instead
Lots of steps but well worth it. Wonderful guide!
You must see the place to truly appreciate it. There is a fair amount of steep incline and stairs so if you have mobility problems this may not be for you.
This tour was amazing!
Amazing tour i and my wife really love it
Wow. It's a long way from Paris, but it was the highlight of the trip. An incredible place with an incredible history. Words don't really do it justice. Just gorgeous.
The tour guide provided very good commentary.
A very long way to go from Paris but it is very nice. My recommendation is to skip the lunch.
Amazing! This is a long day but very worth the journey.
Very good trip. Well organized and interesting.
What a wonderful trip. It is a good 4 hour drive but it is so interesting. The village is very small, a bit touristy now, but once housed a small village and the monastery. It is an interesting climb up to the top and to the cloister and prison. Our guide was very informative and you could envision how this was centuries ago.
The village once restricted to only a legacy of families, it is now a series of shops and little pubs. the character of the town is still there, down to the little cemetery
This was an excellent tour with an excellent guide. Highly recommend
very beautiful and historic, lunch was excellent. Did not realize it was a 4 hour trip by bus to get there,but it was worth the money for the experince.
Great way to see Versailles. Enjoyed choosing and buying our lunch at the market. Our guide, Johnnie, was friendly and informative. Bike ride was fun and grounds were beautiful. Palace was worth seeing even though crowded. Great dsy trip from Paris
Great tour all of it so informative, knowledgeable, good way to tour for mont st michel
Absolutely fantastic great guide amazing information everything and more bus trip really good comfortable and good stops enough time for sightseeing after tour would definitely recommend this tour
This tour was great! Amazing view, the guide was good and explained very well, and we had good weather!
Excellent driver and tour director. Not really crazy about the raw whipped egg omelet at lunch, but an experience. I chickened out on the climb to the abbey, but my friend went all the way and said it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Excellent and amazing day tour! Worth the long distance travelling from Paris! However, lunch menu can be improved..
Had a fantastic day on this tour. Everything was easy. The guide was really nice, very easy to listen to. Mont Saint Michele is amazing and a must see when in France. Highly recommended.
Awesome trip.Well covered and the tour guide Elizabeth was the biggest highlight.She was too good.Learnt a lot of meaningful history.

Hey ladies,
So I'm 16w5d and I STILL feel like crap! I still have occasional bouts of nausea, but mostly I am EXHAUSTED as hell, (can't sleep good tho) and STILL peeing like every 10 mins. I also feel like I have had a nasty head cold for the last three months or so and I'm just so over it. As if the daily headaches weren't enough!!!
My first pregnancy was much the same (DS) and my second (DD) was a breeze in comparison, that's why I think this one is a boy,too but who knows, everyone says they are all different.
Anyone else still feel like crap? I kind of feel guilty for feeling like this but I'm just tired of it.

Maybe in reference to writing a computer engineering paper for some douchebag USC professor the dept. doesn't like the knuckleheads to use the words Firstly,secondly etc. etc. but in the real non academic world where people actually use words to communicate it is considered proper word usage. If it is in the dictionary,asshole, then its a word. How many links do you need?
In defence of Citigroup. This, I believe is a general disclaimer, for ALL US Banks that have interest bearing accounts.
For the rest of the people that have the brain power to read past a headline it also said...
What's going on? It seems that this is something of an error. The seven day notice policy only applies to customers in Texas...

Hey Einstein! Read and weep and take an English class you fricking idiot!

As a Landlord, I am required by law to notify tenants of the dangers of lead paint, and of thier rights in regard to lead paint, even though none of my properties contain lead paint. Failure to do so could result in serious fines under state and federal law. I think Citi's explanation is solid, they are just following the laws governing thier business and nothing more should be read into this.
keep saying that when u can't take money out
FDIC insurance put an end to runs on a bank long ago George Bailey.
Come on Man! Who are you kidding??? The FDIC is Completely Bankrupt!
The FDIC is currently $8 Billion in the red and more banks are soon to fail with more red ink adding to their balance sheets.
But the news media doesn't print that...think!!!
You are correct, that MAINSTREAM MEDIA doesn't print that. You have to go to the ALTERNATIVE MEDIA. The mainstream media propanda machine is controlled by the corporations. They are all bought and paid for!
WAKE UP!! I'm Serious! WAKE UP!!
Are you retarded or just can't read. Christ tard boy it's the law that they disclose any changes to their banking policy to the public. If you were capable of reading you would also see it applies only to the state of texas.
I am sure it has something to do with Texas having the largest population of douchebags in the country.......
Brother, if you go back to watching American Idol and Dancing With the Stars everything will be ok in your world for the time being. Don't worry about the future everything will be ok.
If everyone runs on the bank, do they have $700 Trillion in fiat currency to pay everyone??? I don't think the printing presses will be running for 1000 yrs.
Therefore, if you chose to ignore this warning, you have sealed your fate.
From the article:
"...Federal Reserve Reg D requires these accounts, called NOW accounts, to reserve the right to require a 7-day notice of withdrawal. We recently communicated this technical requirement to our customers. However, we have never exercised this right and have no plans to do so in the future."
That is what I suspected. In other words, all banks are required to give this noitce. Am I right????
Pretty soon they won't be able to cover w/out an uptick

Cisco revamps paswords after website scare
Cisco is issuing new passwords to registered users of its website due to a vulnerability in a search tool that could expose log-in details.
This Article Covers
Risk management
Cisco is issuing new passwords to registered users of its website due to a vulnerability in a search tool that could expose log-in details.
Cisco said it had investigated the search engine vulnerability and taken steps to correct it. However, the incident comes at a time when Cisco is facing other security challenges.
A flaw discovered in Cisco's Internetworking operating system (IOS) earlier this month could allow a hacker to gain remote access to any router using a buffer overflow attack.
Analyst firm Gartner warned that the discovery of the flaw in IOS opened up the possibility of more serious exploits against routers and switches and could stem from the theft of Cisco source code in 2004.
Gartner analysts Paul Proctor and Mark Fabbi warned that future versions of IOS that support virtual processing would increase the risk from generally available code that can spread as a worm.
Gartner advised users to pay close attention to IOS vulnerabilities, treat them seriously and follow advisory guidelines to upgrade to a newer version of the software at the earliest opportunity. Proctor and Fabbi urged users to patch internet-facing routers first because they are at greater risk than internal routers.
They warned users to shield networks from IOS-based buffer/ heap/stack overflow vulnerabilities by using a layered defence. This should include network-based intrusion prevention technologies to block exploits as well as executing normal test-and-patch deployment processes, Proctor and Fabbi said.

The Marion County Lady Knights softball team played three games last week. The team's record now stands at 19-8 going into the final week of regular season play.
"A very disappointing week of softball," Head Coach Todd Spalding said. "In order for us to have a realistic chance of advancing deep into the postseason some things have to change and change fast. We have entirely too much moping, pouting and self-pity among some. We still have time to get this right but with one week left in the regular season that time is running short."
The Marion County track team hosted the regional track meet at Bardstown High School Thursday.
Overall, the girls' team finished in 11th place with 13 total points and the boys' team finished in fifth place with 45 points.
The top two finishers in each event automatically qualified for the state meet and then the next 10 finishers in an event from across the state advance to the state meet with an at-large bid.

Baudendistel was driving a tractor that was pulling a trailer carrying several passengers June 23, 2012, the same day the Warrior Dash obstacle race was held.

Five days before Deandre L. Douglas was set to go on trial, the accused leader of the Bardstown Money Gang accepted a plea deal offered by prosecutors.
Douglas, 20, of Lebanon agreed to plead guilty on three pending cases Wednesday and settled before he was set to go to jury trial Monday, May 13.
He is the second of three suspected gang members to plead guilty to the assault of a New Haven man in the parking lot of Huddle House in late November.
Business owners and operators, government officials and representatives of local organizations gathered May 8 to discuss the future of the Lebanon Main Street program.
Last week's meeting at the David R. Hourigan Building started that conversation, but questions remain about whether the local program will continue its affiliation with the Kentucky Main Street Program (through the Kentucky Heritage Council) and what it will look like if it does continue.

Tours offer glimpse into local gardens
Just as a house is not the sum of a home, neither are houses the single showpieces of Natchez's elegant past or present.
Saturday, six homes in the area will open their doors — front and back — so guests may view a glimpse of their formal outdoor spaces as part of the Natchez Tour of Gardens.
The event serves as a fundraiser for the Natchez Garden Club, and benefits NGC's ongoing preservation work, especially at Magnolia Hall and the House on Ellicott Hill, said Doug Mauro, owner of Oak Hill Historic Inn, which is on the tour.
"We just want to inspire people to not be afraid and get out there and start their own gardens," he said.
The six gardens on the tour are all mature, well-established gardens that could be considered "classic Natchez gardens," and are all located in the downtown area and can be accessed on foot, Mauro said.
The day will be broken into a morning tour and an afternoon tour, each with three gardens, though those who want to want to see all of the gardens may buy an all-day ticket.
On the morning tour are Greenlea at 211 S. Wall St., the Wills residence at 500 N. Pearl St., and Cherokee at 217 High St.
The afternoon tour includes Cottage Gardens at 816 Myrtle Ave., Oak Hill at 908 S. Rankin St. and Monmouth Historic Inn at 63 Melrose Ave.
Cherokee is the residence of Mike and Sharon Blattner, and has five distinct garden areas and is listed in the Smithsonian Institute's archives of American gardens, Mike said.
"(Cherokee) is one of the older houses in Natchez, and the Greek revial part of the house that was done in the 1800s was laid out with some pretty elaborate gardens that were lost after the Civil War," he said. "In the 1930s, the family who lived here at the time had the gardens restored to their original configurations, and now it is kind of an ongoing process you have to maintain."
Cherokee's garden areas include a formal English garden, a sunken fountain garden, a side garden with a pool and a rose garden.
"Our favorite area is the rear lower garden where the fountain is," Mike said. "It is formally laid out, there is a ring of azaleas around the fountain and we have recently reconstructed a pigeonnier that holds peacocks and doves. It is a really tranquil area — you don't even know you're in the middle of town."
At Cottage Gardens, owner Jerry Krouse said visitors will be impressed with the property's Italian-style courtyard directly behind the house.
"When you see this courtyard, I don't think there is any mistaking the kind of Tuscan influence that it exudes," he said.
Right now the Confederate jasmine is in full bloom, and the main focal point of the courtyard is the fountain in the back that has four sprays of water in it."
In fact, water elements are a common theme in the garden tour, Mauro said.
"So many of them have water features here," he said. "It is so hot here psychologically that it makes you feel cooler when you hear the water splashing."
The gardens at Cottage Gardens were designed by famed landscape architect William Garbo approximately 15 years ago, Krouse said.
Garbo designed the gardens at the Mississippi governor's mansion and has done work in other areas of Natchez, including Monmouth.
"My original ideas were for a very close tropical garden, but Mr. Garbo was more formally-oriented or at least thought I needed a more formally-oriented garden," Krouse said.
"Though I was not in sync with him in the beginning, once he got it finished and it became a little more mature, I saw the wisdom in his design and the fact that it went with this house much better than the plan I was thinking about. Mr. Garbo was a born artist before he ever became a landscape architect, and the garden is all lush and green, and all of the flowers are popping out."
Tickets to the morning and afternoon tours are $15. All-day tickets are $25.
Tickets can be purchased from the Natchez Garden Club at 601-443-9065 or Natchez Pilgrimage Tours at 601-446-6631.
They can also be purchased at the individual homes on the day of the tour, Mauro said.
"This event is going to be open rain or shine, because the flowers certainly aren't going to care if it rains," he said.

These new smartphones and tablets would be called "Chromephones" and "Chromepads." The Chromephones would launch around the middle of 2014.
This replacement of Android in favor of Chrome OS should not be a surprise to readers of this column, as I first predicted it, in this article, two years ago.
Clearly, I was too optimistic about the timing. That said, my fundamental prediction remains, on an amended time schedule.
So, why would Google do this? There are two basic reasons:
1. Architecture / technology:
When you look at Google's product and service portfolio, it's filled with elegant cloud and HTML technologies. Whether Chrome or cloud apps, it's all very seamless and elegant.
The one wart under Google's foot that's bothering the decision-makers in Mountain View is Android. Android is Java and it's old-world. Intellectual property disputes with Oracle
On the other hand, Chrome OS represents Google's pure vision of what an operating system should be. It's simple, super-quick and secure. Google is 100% in control of it.
2. Business model and industry structure:
Everyone knows Android has become sort of a mess. Google would never admit it, because it's largely its own fault. They would say that Android is 100% open, so of course, there will be massive fragmentation -- Amazon
That's all true, but behind that happy-face facade, Google also isn't happy with this situation. Just contrast it with Chrome OS, where Google is in 100% control, and every device is 100% consistent from one PC to the next. It doesn't matter whether it's Acer, Samsung, Lenovo or HP
Speaking of software, all Chrome OS devices get updates simultaneously, right away. Google pushes these software updates, and there is nothing Samsung, Acer, Lenovo or HP can do about it -- to stop or delay. Even better, there is nothing Verizon
In contrast, Android is the industry's laughing stock in terms of consistency. Compared to Apple's
The obvious solution: Google replaces Android with Chrome OS.
There is no huge technological difficulty for Google to replace Android with Chrome OS. Google already makes Chrome OS devices itself, running on Verizon.
It's 100% obvious to me what Google's next step is in expanding Chrome OS: First, it will add Chrome OS tablets -- Chromepads. These will be both stand-alone, largely similar to the iPad, as well as "laptop-tablet convertibles," similar to so many Windows 8 PCs.
The Google Pixel laptop sets the stage here, as the first Chrome OS touchscreen device, running on Verizon. In addition, it's also Google's first PC that is not made in conjunction with Samsung, Acer, Lenovo or HP. Google simply worked directly with a manufacturer in Taiwan/China.
There is little doubt that Google will release multiple Chrome OS tablet devices already in 2013. This will establish Chrome OS as a credible "touch only" operating system. Seeing as the Web itself is not optimized for finger-touch -- rather, for mouse/touchpad on a PC -- this would also entail optimizing the Web experience for finger-touch, with large touch-targets.
Google, of course, is the one company in the world that can ensure that this happens to the Web.
Once such a finger-touch optimization has taken place inside Chrome OS and on the Web experience, Google would be ready to launch its first Chrome OS smartphone -- "Chromephone." This likely takes us to mid-2014.
In launching a Chromephone, Google can give all of its previous Android partners the finger. Unlike Android, which is provided under an open source license, Google does not risk having the likes of Samsung, HTC and all the others modifying Chrome OS.
For the Chromephone, Google would simply do what it just did with the Pixel Chromebook: Go directly to the manufacturers in Taiwan and China and create its own hardware label. It's not even clear that Google would bother calling its wholly owned subsidiary Motorola
Stepping back for a second, this in-house hardware is, of course, what Apple and BlackBerry have been doing all along, since their very first days in the business. Google and Microsoft were the ones who worked with hardware OEMs as in the Windows PC days, having the likes of Samsung and Acer do the hardware.
Microsoft has never fully denied that it's working on its own smartphone. Despite its chummy relationship with Nokia, rumors have been abuzz for approximately one year, that Microsoft too will start making its own smartphones.
Remember how much of a surprise Microsoft's Surface tablet was when it was introduced in June last year? Nothing about that product had leaked beforehand. Of course, unless Microsoft outright acquires Nokia, it will soon launch its own Surface phone as well.
This raises at least two questions:
1. If Google makes its own Chrome OS smartphones, would that also mean that Samsung and all the others are excluded?
Of course not! Google would love as many hardware partners as possible, just like Chrome OS laptop and desktop PCs. What Google doesn't want is software fragmentation. Putting Chrome OS on the phone solves this problem.
Samsung can play, but with a lot less power than it has in the Android world. It's like being back making Windows PCs again. Or, for that matter, Chrome OS PCs.
Nothing wrong with that, of course. Perhaps that's the way it should be. It may be the only form of stable equilibrium in the OS business.
2. What about Android?
Let me be clear: I am not saying that Google will abandon Android. Why would it? There is no upside in that. What Google will do is shift the emphasis to a much better operating system -- Chrome OS -- that will also provide 100% consistency from device to device.
Google will continue to develop Android, both for itself in the form of Nexus and other Nexus-equivalent devices. It will work with partners, such as Samsung and Facebook. Yet others, such as Amazon, will completely customize Android beyond recognition. In other words, just like today.
So what? Why should we care?
When Google adds Chrome OS to its tablet and smartphone repertoire, its market power increases materially. Chrome OS is fundamentally a better OS than Android -- more elegant, more secure and faster. Beyond the strict technical merits, it will also enable Google to control a 100% consistent experience across all devices, regardless of Samsung's or Verizon's wishes.
Google's upcoming moves to gradually replace Android with Chrome OS is more than a watershed in the mobile computing market. It's a Tsunami.

Sliding Doors in New Jersey
Old sliding doors are a source of significant energy loss for New Jersey homeowners. They cause excessive energy losses because of their large area of clear glass and metal frames which allows the cold through in the winter and the heat through in the summer. Ice may form on the inside of the doors on cold winter days. Our New Jersey sliding doors offer many options and are constructed to eliminate the problems of your old patio doors.
Markey Home Remodeling offers sliding doors with some of the best air infiltration ratings (meaning the lowest amount of air infiltration) in the industry along with the lowest U-factor ratings that even exceed ENERGY STAR standards. Some of the ways this is achieved is an interlocking panel where the operating door panel meets the frame. This, along with features such as 4-point multi-locks, creates an almost air-tight seal while offering enhanced security measures. Fusion-welded multi chambered vinyl frames with foam filling also provides a better insulated door than older, outdated, models. Almost all new sliding doors feature ENERGY STAR glass packages to help cut down energy cost and make homeowners feel more comfortable in their own home in both the winter and summer months. Features such as mini-blinds and grids are also available. You can visit our showroom to see all these options on our full size door displays.

Car Owners' Reviews
Car Reviews and Owner Comments
Best car I ever owned. Bought brand new in 95 with 6 miles on it. Still running at 205,000 miles. Smooth ride on highways, some normal amount of rattle over tracks and neighborhood driving. 39 mpg hwy, 35 city. Driver side window is slightly difficult to roll down. Paint still shines. Interior has normal fading on dash. Faithfully changed oil every 3000 miles. Normal repairs, breaks, tires, exhaust system. Engine components still original.
Frequent ignition coil problems (replacement required @$150 ea.) Engine knocks when low grade or low quality fuel is used. Engine knocks when a low grade (thinner) oil is used. Beautiful car and a smooth ride, but it is picky at times!
Truck has had nothing but tlc. WORST vehicle ive ever seen.
Great-looking car. "Transformer" hard-top convertible is a show-stopper. Fast, comfy. But handling is atrocious. Terrible torque steer, jittery on bumps.
Second one, this one has tranny problems w/sloenoids
This is my second Blazer. Last one just retired with about 225,000 miles on it. Had no major issues with it so I got another one.
2006 Dodge Ram 3500. Best truck I have ever own. 100,000 miles on it and still runs strong. The Cummins can handle the extra 300 horse power I added just fine. Banks Air Ram Intake, ATS exhaust manifold, ATS 3000 Turbo, ATS 5 Star Torque Converter (a must) for towing. Stock converter won't last long when under load. Stock Brakes are not up to par. Would recommend upgrade to bigger brakes/Rotors or use a exhaust or trans brake system with your truck if you tow. I have been running 80% Bio Diesel since 07.
Interior is poor quality. Cig light won't stay in dash if anything is plugged into it. Housing falls onto floor. Rear brakes have squealed like a stuck pig since the day I drove it off the log. Took into dealership many times and they say nothing is wrong, will go away with time. 68k miles later still squealing. Drivetrain warranty expired at 60k miles, oil started leaking at 64k miles. Drive well in normal weather conditions, but handles very poorly on wet roads.
I currently own a 96 Lumina with 75,000 miles and I used to own a 94 Lumina with 170,000 miles on it. The 94 ran like a champ...I honestly feel like I would still have her if my car accident didnt happen. But I have a newer one now and its great, no leaks, no serious problems just yet..just needs routine stuff. Its a fantasticly made vehicle, I would buy another one in a fricken heartbeat!
I love my car. I bought it used from a friend and plan to run it until it dies of really old age. It handles well, runs well. I am getting ready to have some needed maintenance done soon. It is a great car but, when I first got it I went to So Cal to see a friend, 15hours at 70+ mph and 1000 miles. The drivers seat is a little too stiff for me. I have a really bad back so I bought a seat cover that has a built in tension for the lumbar spine and a seat with fans. This made the drive very comfortable. I am thinking about getting an AMG package retrofitted. I took out the MB radio and placed a Kenwood with Blue Tooth, USB support, and HD radio. Next I will replace the factory speakers. They are Bose and I have never been a great fan of their speakers except for the 301 series III I have in my sound system at home. I had a decked out Ford Taurus, a 5 star rated car, which I loved but at about 100,000 miles it started having major problems. I got the MB at 103,000 and it is tight and takes the mountains in Oregon and back roads with such precision I have to be careful of over steer, something I had to do for the Taurus. The turning radius is so small I can get in tight spot easily. It is not as wide as the Taurus but is not really a compact car. I can fit in most parking spots with ease. I will never have an other brand of car.
This is January 2010. I have owned my 2007 SR5 Sequoia since March 2007. This vehicle is primarily driven by my wife around town and highway...no "off rode". Noticed excessive tread wear on outside edge of tires around 30,000mi...especially on right side. The truck has low air pressure sensors for the tires, we have tires rotated every 5000mi with an oil change performed by Toyota dealer. I mentioned this to the dealer before my 35,000mi visit (which was right before warranty expiration) and was informed that the front end needed alignment. The dealer gave me an annual inspection sticker (in spite of the severe outer tread wear) but the wear continued. At 40,000mi, I inverted the tires to make them last as long as possible and to observe the wear. Now we are at 48,000 miles and both edges are worn out. The inner tread is still in great shape. Now don't misunderstand...I have no problem with replacing a set of tires around 50,000mi...I just think they should wear evenly! In addition, the water pump is leaking (have never needed to add antifreeze or water), the timing belt should be replaced and my front brakes are wore out. All this for a nominal fee of $2500. TIRES OKAY...THE REST...REDICULOUS !!! I own a 2005 GMC 2500 Savannah work van with 79,000mi that takes much more abusive driving conditions and the only repairs that have been made is a set of tires at 52,000mi which were evenly worn! In all things ... be thankful.
Purchased in 2004 with 46k miles. Tranny went first, then a head gasket at 67k miles! Now has 138k miles after much maintenance! Premium fuel onnly, many repairs performed. Should have bought that Lincoln Towncar! Resale or trade-in value? What's that? !
I bought a used 04 Accord four months ago. I had a mechanic run through the car before purchasing the vehilce ( due to the fact that the previous 98 accord I had purchased from dealer needed frame work, etc). He said it was fine an clean no less then a week later did the seat heater for passenger seat stop working due to the fact the electric seat had run the cord over to send power to the switch. Second it started making strange noises while steering due to fact it needed a steering rack. Third my tranny started slipping and next thing u know i almost get into a car accident because transmission fails in the middle of two very busy merging freeways during peak traffic hours. I also found out that it needs a new power steering pump. Honda = Reliable?? I am starting to think not!
GM Olds got it right with this SUV. Drives well, good fuel economy, powerful engine, great traction. Would have liked higher ground clearance for winter driving. Compared to my LR, this one has equal comfort and costs less to maintain (60% less). Too bad they don't exist any more. Problem with exhaust manifold bolts shearing off - cheap bolts from factory. Did GM save a 1$ per vehicle on that one? DUH. Gas tank can spring a leak due to rusting...recalled.
Off-road - no problem. Snow storms - handles extremely well. Principle mode of transportation - NO WAY. Dealers are vampires and service reps are minions of the dealer. I cannot believe how badly serviced this vehicle is. Oil pump has a serious design flaw, ABS system sucks, legacy electrical problems that have haunted this vehicle for more than 10 years. LR has known about these faults for years but does nothing. Better to say nothing than recall all those lemons - right? Looks great but no substance. Take a lesson from GMC or Ford trucks and give us LR owners a break. TATA owns this now and I wonder if they'll do any better.
For the money and for what this car is, I am very pleased. Its certainly not a luxury vehicle, but I didn't pay for a luxury vehicle. I have 60K and thus far have had no major issues or unreasonable maintenance issues.
My biggest issue with my car is break vibration. I don't consider myself to be an aggressive driver, or hard on my breaks. Other than that, I am very pleased with this car.
I live Winnipeg.Manitoba, Canada and own an ML320 and love it. There are a couple of bugs like the overhead console lights don't come on anymore. Not sure if there is a master switch for them. Still getting to know the vehicle. I have made a couple of highway trips and at 68 mph I was still getting approximately 25 mpg with the Canadian gallon. For a vehicle as heavy as this and it being AWD that is actually great. The leather interior is great. It is a softer leather which is much nicer than my '93 Olds Cutlass Convertible. The seats are very comfortable too. I am 6'5" tall and have great legroom.
I received this car as a gift from my father about 18months ago. At the time in had 237,000 miles on it. he had bought it for my mother new in December 1992. It currently has 277,000 miles on it. It is finally showing some signs of age. The repairs have been mostly minor for the entire life of this car and only things that are expected to wear out. The worst thing that has really happened to the car is that we had to rebuild the steering at 236,000 miles. I will most certainly buy many more of these cars.
Excellent driving, quiet,syle, but gas is horrible. They do not tell you the real story about gas miles. City arount 13 mpg hghwy 24.8. But overall a great crossover to own.
Awesome - at first. I thought the mileage would be a bit better. If you haul ANYTHING, kiss the average mileage goodbye. I could have a V-8 and get better mileage because the power-train wouldn't have to work so hard. Just SAY the word hill and the thing drops two gears. 33k and the rear brakes are gone, but only because the caliper pins froze up. Outside pads gone, inside pads almost new. I only haul occasionally and keep it in an insulated garage every night. I take the best care of every vehicle I own and am very disappointed with this vehicle. I'm going back to Ford, no question. Honda blew it with this one...
I am 3rd owner has over 200,000 ,not bad performance wise, just afew bugs.
great all around car
My Jetta is great. I have had it forever and not many problems ever go on. It is easy to drive and maintain.
I have owned it for about 8 months now, bought it with 20,500 miles and it now has 35,000. No problems yet, just some steering noise that I will have checked out. Ride, performance, and quality have been great so far!
Excellent drive, reliable in snow and fuel efficiency is impressive too. Brakes go bad soon. Had to change axle, alternator. oil seeped into cylinder. After dealer service works well.
I bought this car on Monday before Christmas. I'm starting to believe that I have made a terrible mistake. I saved all year while riding the bus to classes at Cal State. I should have done my homework. Three days after getting it the check engine light came on and the transmission started to shift erratically, then it wouldn't go into 4th gear. The dealer made the repairs at no cost. The next day after getting it back the check engine light came on again, this time the engine has a sort of sputter when intially starting and today the coolant light started to beep. When I checked the bowl the level fluid started to bubble to the top, so I quickly closed the cap and went back into my apartment. Oh my God, what have I done?
I own a 2000 430, and other than replacing a hose for the airconditioning, It has been a joy to own and drive. It now has 98,000 miles and drives like a new car. I am the second owner, the first, according to my mechanic took very good care of the car, which is why it looks and drives beautifully.
This truck I use for towing. It is a great reliable truck.

Perry County resident assists in arrest of theft suspects
Friday, August 31, 2012
PERRYVILLE, Mo. -- A Perry County woman who witnessed two men reportedly stealing from her barn and shed helped police nab the suspects.
The Perry County Sheriff's Department arrested David L. Hunt, 29, of Scott City, and Thomas C. Kinney, 28, of Cape Girardeau, the sheriff's department said in a news release Thursday. Both are charged with felony burglary and theft and were held on $10,000 cash-only bonds at the Perry County Jail.
The sheriff's department received a call from a woman living on Perry County Road 516 at about 11 a.m. Tuesday saying a person she didn't recognize had knocked on her door. When she didn't answer, the man returned to his vehicle and spoke with another man inside, then the two started taking items from her barn and shed, according to the news release.
"She did just what she should have done," Perry County Sheriff Gary J. Schaaf said in the release. "She called us and gave a vehicle description, including license number and a good description of the two men."
The two men left the residence before deputies arrived, but because of the caller's information deputies located the two men before they got out of the county. Copper wire, extension cords and car batteries were recovered.
"If someone had answered the door, they planned to ask if they need any trees trimmed, thereby providing an excuse for their being there. They would then hand out a business card from 'Dave's Tree Service' and move on," Schaaf said.
Pertinent address:
Perry County Road 516, Perryville, MO

Satellite that predicts floods is launched by European scientists
A satellite which will make flood prediction easier by tracking water flows around the Earth was today launched by European scientists.
The Smos spacecraft will also improve weather forecasts and gauge the impact of climate change.
The £282million probe monitors the amount of moisture held in soils and of the quantity of salts dissolved in the oceans.
Scroll down to bottom to watch a video showing how the satellite works
Orange dawn: The Smos satellite is launched aboard a rocket at Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia
Experts hope the European Space Agency mission will be able to fill important gaps in our knowledge about the planet's vital water cycle.
The satellite, which was lifted into space from the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia, could also help develop more accurate weather forecasts.
Global estimates of soil moisture will also help forecast drought and flood risk.
When a storm breaks, for example, the ability of rainwater to percolate down depends on the type of soil and how much water it is already holding.
The probe, which also monitors photosynthesis and plant growth, can measure moisture to a depth of up to 7ft.
Vital work: A computer generated image of the probe which tracks water flows around Earth
It is also critical for calculating Earth's carbon cycle, the process by which heat-trapping carbon dioxide is released and absorbed, especially by plants and the oceans.
Climate change, scientists agree, is largely caused by CO2 pollution that has upset that natural balance.
Its second job is to measure changes in the salt content of sea surface waters, data that will enhance our understanding of what drives global ocean circulation patterns.
Ocean circulation helps moderates climate, notably by transporting heat from the equator to the poles.
Some studies have suggested that global warming could disrupt these cycles in ways that could dramatically alter regional weather patterns.
Catastrophe: But last year's Venice floods could have been predicted by Smos
Variations in the salinity of ocean waters depend on the addition or removal of fresh water through evaporation and precipitation and, in polar regions, on the freezing and melting of ice.
'Climate change is a fact, but its impact on precipitation, evaporation, surface runoff and flood risks is still uncertain,' said Yann Kerr, a researcher at the Centre for the Study of the Biosphere from Space and scientific director for the Smos mission.
'The availability of water plays a more important role on these impacts than temperature itself.'
Scientists rely heavily on computer models to project weather and climate patterns, and having additional data based on concrete observations will make those models more accurate.
Data will be collected by a single instrument called Miras, the large Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis.
Tewkesbury, 2007: The city floods regularly and can now be more prepared as soil moisture is measured
Smos, which stands for Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity, is set to conduct its mission over three years, with a possible two-year extension.
A second ESA satellite lifted into space today called Proba-2 is designed to demonstrate innovative in-orbit technologies.
It will test a new type of lithium-ion battery, an advanced data and power management system, a dual-frequency GPS receiver, an experimental solar panel, an exploration micro-camera and a dozen other technologies.
Proba-2 will also conduct experiments related to solar observation and space weather.

This is delisious! The salmon was very moist. I topped mine with fresh dill and lemon slices. This is a keeper.
This was so simple to make and cleanup was just a wipe of the pan. My family liked this very much. The flavors were subtle--not too lemony for my husband who usually thinks lemon overpowers things, but lemony enough for a lemon lover like me. We will make this again soon!

Notes: Kraft mum on Thomas' future
Updated: March 22, 2010, 2:05 PM ETBy Mike Reiss | ESPNBoston.com
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The New England Patriots' offseason strategy in building their roster has put a heavy emphasis on improving chemistry in the locker room, owner Robert Kraft said Monday morning.
That was one of the primary points of emphasis in Kraft's hour-long breakfast with reporters. He felt that poor chemistry in the locker room contributed to the team's disappointing finish last season.
"I think the chemistry, the locker room, a lot of games are won and lost before you ...

text: Microsoft says no thanks to Kinect groping game Gaming 21 December 10 by Mark Brown CC-Licensed jared721 Microsoft has publicly offered a "thanks but no thanks" to adult entertainment company ThriXXX, stating that the Australian firm's Kinect-powered sex game will never end up for sale on Xbox 360.A video (NSFW link) cropped up earlier this month that showed a wily Kinect hacker using hand gestures, voice commands and objects to interact with a 3D-rendered, scantily clad lady. It offered up a working prototype, thanks to efforts in the hacking community, to show off how Microsoft's new peripheral could work in adult games.The company specialises in interactive sex simulation software on PC, with titles like "3D Sexvilla" and "3DLesbian". It said: "the Kinect interface provides another exciting option for users of the sex simulation software to control the experience in extraordinary new ways".But when Microsoft caught wind of the game, it was quick to assuage any fears that the games would end up for sale on Xbox 360."Microsoft did not authorise or license its technology for this use," the publisher told the LA Times. "Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment console and does not allow Adults Only (AO) content to be certified for use on its platform, and would not condone this type of game for Kinect."In fact, none of the primary gaming platform holders -- Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo -- allow games rated AO by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) to be released for their systems. But that hasn't hampered ThriXXX's plans. It still plans to introduce optional Kinect support in its PC games next year, far away from Microsoft's grasp. "We do not sell at retail, do not have a need for [game ratings]," a spokesperson told CNET. "If we have to, maybe we would give it away for free as part of the open-source community efforts, but we don't know yet where any of this will lead." Edited by Olivia Solon Latest on wired.co.uk

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Eddie Lacy started to answer before he really thought about the question.
At first, the Green Bay Packers' rookie running back said sure he would try to stay in the Super Bowl even if he had a concussion.
"It depends on if I was able to focus, then I probably would play or go back in," Lacy said at first.
Perhaps remembering what he felt like after his Week 2 concussion against the Washington Redskins, Lacy began to reconsider.
"But that's a serious injury to play with," Lacy added. "So I probably wouldn't chance it."
Nevertheless, an overwhelming number of NFL players, 85 percent of them, surveyed by ESPN's NFL Nation this past season said they would play in the Super Bowl with a concussion. Of course, NFL guidelines call for players to be immediately taken out of the game if they are diagnosed with a concussion.
In the Packers' playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, rookie left tackle David Bakhtiari reentered the game for one play after being diagnosed with a concussion before he was eventually shut down. The NFL said the Packers were not at fault and also did not fine Bakhtiari for violating the protocol.
That leads into the question about whether the NFL is committed to player safety. Among the more than 300 players surveyed, 60 percent said they felt the league was committed to player safety.
