In the dystopian future of Idiocracy, a movie called Ass wins Best Picture and the top-rated TV show is Ow, My Balls!, where the "star" repeatedly gets hit in the crotch. While we're officially still 495 years away from realizing Mike Judge's vision, if gratuitous nut shots as seen in last weekend's Grown Ups continue, Ow, My Balls! will be on FOX by the end of the decade. By contrast here are 10 blows to the groin that are actually funny.

The fuel loading door of the wood stove is equipped with adjustable hinges and a door latch to give an air tight seal. The door of the stove features a ceramic insulation of one and a half inches thickness to minimize warping. The door is also designed with cool coil handles. The Kuuma wood burning sauna stove includes an additional heat shield of 1/4-inch thickness on the back wall. The rock hopper rock features a bottom made of 5/16 inch steel plate. In addition, a hot water reservoir made of stainless steel is included with the sauna stove. The hot water reservoir can be attached to the stove easily.
The combustion air in the Kuuma wood burning stove flows through the carburetor to burn logs from front toward back and helps to increase the burning of gasses. The wood stove, manufactured by Lamppa Manufacturing, is available in three sizes, namely, small, medium and large. The dimensions of a small sauna stove are 14 x 18 x 32 inches. As optional, the sauna stove is included with different accessories such as stainless steel hot water tank, ash pan, water coil, heat shield, and throat extension.

text: Posted February 18, 2013 The problem with Mcadoo is that when his jumper is falling, it makes his entire offensive game better because his man has to respect the shot, and his quick first step makes him very effective as a face up threat. Put that with his great size and looks the part of an NBA player, which is why everyone started proclaiming him to be the next top 10 pick from UNC after he put together a few quality games.starting for an injured Henson last year The trouble is that Mcadoo's entire offensive game falls apart when his shot isnt falling- his defender starts sagging off and Mcadoo, trying to be the go to scorer he is not, tries to force a drive anyway and throws up an off balance shot in traffic. He doesnt have a go to move when that jumper isnt falling- he isnt a good ball handler and his post moves are limited. Which makes him a poor option for a go to player, as others in this thread pointed out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SWC: Community Starts Here
"We're giving where we're living"
What a dynamic year we have ahead, renewed in our commitment to our founders' original purpose~the loving care of Sausalito.
Your Executive Board and I are very grateful to be given the opportunity to serve you. We have planned a year of programs and projects around the rich history and culture of our community. We've expanded our Community Enhancement, Civics and Donations committees to focus on the needs of Sausalito. We're in dialogue with other service organizations to support their efforts for preservation and beautification. Our continuation of support to our outstanding Scholarship Program remains paramount and we're developing a special fund-raiser this January to make our increased gifts to the community possible.
Our historic clubhouse and the land it sits on was a gift. The property and half the mortgage was contributed upon the death of a member's beloved husband, so that we could realize our purpose…to create a center of thought and action through art, literature, language, music, theater and civics, to promote whatever tends for the best interests of this city. We cherish and care for this beautiful building. And, we will honor his gift by sharing it; opening the clubhouse for tours, as a polling place, staging of the Sausalito Players, our annual Holiday Party, and many other community events.
Our theme for the year is: "SWC: Community Starts Here." And so our brand is now, "Community". Our motto is: "We're giving where we're living".
This vision and our renewed direction to turn our attention outward needs your very personal involvement. Let's work together to make it a truly expansive year of inspiration, giving of our time, talent and treasure to the community, just as we give to each other, our beloved friends, when we are sick, troubled, lose a loved one, or just want to share our blessings, and celebrate joyful times together. As the song says, "Nobody does it better." We have a very proud legacy of continued service for the last 102 years. Let us celebrate that we are truly a visible force for good, filled with energy, working in concert, and growing together!
And, lastly, on a personal note, I reverently borrow the quote from the humble Father of our Country, George Washington, upon being chosen president:
"While I realize the arduous nature of the task which is conferred on me and feel my inability to perform it, I wish there may not be a reason for regretting the choice. All I can promise is only that which can be accomplished by an honest zeal."
With much love and gratitude,
Elizabeth O'Keefe
President, 2015-2016

Back To Writing After...
Change of pace last week. Spoke to an 8th grade class of St. John Vianney Regional School at the Tolerance Program hosted by the Institute for Jewish Christian Understanding at Muhlenberg College. Also went down memory lane– showed work and spoke at Kutztown Elementary School and Greenwich Elementary School. Great kids– interested and motivated. Enjoyed being a teacher for that little bit. Now back to my keypad and hopefully some drawing soon!
Here are some tips by a writer with a spare clean style. I like his work but know I've broken at least 4 of his rules. Must be that I'm reading John Steinbeck's East of Eden– a great book! (Oops, an exclamation mark!)
Polish Cover
A nice present when I opened my mail today– the Polish cover of Mendel's Daughter. The book launch is in 2 months at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. Quicker than I imagined.
This is the address for info on the Polish edition (in Polish.)
Some Good Advice to Writers
Some Great advice from Kurt Vonnegut
I've halted work on coloring my pages ( shucks, I was having such a good time) and have begun to rewrite. I'm cutting a lot of the first part of the book and taking it in a different direction– developing characters and plot.
Many of the images I'm posting won't all be into the final book...
Hope you like 'em anyway.
Drawing Hiatus
It has been over a year since I put paintbrush to paper (and Photoshop pen to tablet) and am really enjoying it.
Another Before & After
This is the opening page of the second section (of 3) of my book. (As with most of the work posted, I need to add color.)
Drawing will halt for a bit as I review the text of this part. I haven't reviewed the writing in 8 months so I expect it will look new to me. I hope it isn't too awful.
Before & After
Have a Great New Year!

ENVE has quickly established itself as the industry standard. Its passion for perfection and innovation is unmatched. The SES 6. 7 Carbon Road Wheelset is a perfect example of this obsession. ENVE could have taken the easy road with its aero road rims and just sold them as a pair of rims. Instead, it built a front-specific and rear-specific rim to account for the role that the wind plays on each wheel. In the end, what ENVE created was an extremely aerodynamic wheelset that maintains incredible stability in real-world wind conditions, so you can slice through the air without having to compensate on gusty days to maintain a steady line. As you might have guessed, ENVE's front rim is a bit shallower than the rear rim to reduce the effects of crosswinds on your straight-line stability. The front and rear rims are 60mm and 70mm deep, respectively. The front rim is also slightly wider than the rear rim to improve aerodynamics. At 26mm and 24mm, both rims take advantage of the new trend toward wider, more aerodynamic wheels. Spoke count is also different, with 20 in the front and 24 in the rear, where more force is applied to the wheel during riding. What about the hub You have your choice between two industry legends--the DT Swiss 240s or the Chris King D45. While the DT Swiss will save you a few bucks, either hub will provide incredible performance for years of riding.

text: Bagley Downs — Eagle Scout Cody Ormiston and Boy Scout Troop 14, of Salmon Creek, spent Oct. 25 — a day off for kids in Vancouver Public Schools — replacing rotten boards in picnic tables and park benches, and the message board at Bagley Park. Cody held a garage sale last spring and raised approximately $1,400 for the project; he also rounded up donations from local businesses. In all, Troop 14 rebuilt seven picnic tables, three benches and the message board as well as painting over graffiti. It was one of the largest Eagle projects the city of Vancouver's Volunteer Coordinator Hailey Heath said she's ever seen.

LOS ANGELES — When Berto Solis and Nancy Thuvanuti met, nobody thought they would last, he remembers.
She was a New Jersey girl with Thai and Irish roots, a fashionista streak and a family full of university graduates. He was "rough around the edges," he remembers, a Mexican American first in his family to go to college, a San Joaquin Valley transplant still trying to find himself.
"Everyone was like, 'Her? Him?'" Solis said, now six years later. "But whenever we just let ourselves be, we said, 'I don't know what they're talking about. We have more in common than they do.'"
More Americans are forming serious relationships across lines of race and ethnicity, moving in with or marrying people who check a different box on their census form. Married or unmarried, interracial couples were more than twice as common in 2012 than in 2000, U.S. Census Bureau data show.
Yet not all kinds of relationships are as likely to cross those lines. Racially and ethnically mixed couples are much more common among Americans who are living together, unmarried, than those who tied the knot, a Census Bureau analysis released last week shows.
Last year, 9 percent of unmarried couples living together came from different races, compared to roughly 4 percent of married couples. The same gap exists for Latinos — who are not counted as a race by the Census Bureau — living with or marrying people who aren't Latino.
Earlier studies showed that even among younger couples, Americans are more likely to cross racial lines when they move in together than when they marry. Scholars are still puzzling over why, musing that interracial couples may face added barriers to marrying — or may be less impatient to do so.
Some researchers believe the numbers are tied to continued challenges for interracial and interethnic couples in gaining acceptance from friends and family. Marriage can bring family into the picture — and stir up their disapproval — in ways that rooming together does not.
Living together, "you don't need to get a blessing from either side of the family," said Zhenchao Qian, a sociology professor at Ohio State University. "Moving to the next stage is sometimes more difficult."
Many older Americans, especially whites, are still uneasy about interracial marriage, a Pew Research Center study released three years ago showed.

Available in Nexus Repository Manager OSS and Nexus Repository Manager
The following guide for evaluating Nexus Repository Manager is based on an assumption of installing the repository manager itself as well as the various technologies used in the specific evaluation example all on one computer. A more extended evaluation of Nexus Repository Manager in a team environment should follow the instructions for a full installation as documented in the book Repository Management with Nexus. Consult the book for further in-depth documentation about all features of the Nexus Repository Manager.
Besides the installation of the repository manager itself, various evaluations will need different prerequisites installed on the machine you use for your evaluation. The installation instructions of these technologies follow below. Only follow the instructions referenced from the examples in which you are interested. For example you will only need to install Visual Studio and NuGet if you want to evaluate the .Net Integration of Nexus Repository Manager.
Some of the tasks described are referencing command line calls. Where that is the case, this guide will use Unix typical commands and syntax as used on a bash shell. This is the most common environment on Linux and Mac OSX computers. On Windows machines, a bash shell can be installed as well, using the cygwin system. However the typical usage would be to use the Windows command prompt with slightly different calls. Table 25.1, "Commandline Invocation Examples" displays a number of examples for typical tasks carried out in the evaluations with their bash as well as Windows shell commands.
Table 25.1. Commandline Invocation Examples
|Bash Shell
|Window Shell
Delete a file
Delete a directory
Delete a directory in users home directory
Change to the users home directory
Script invocation
Gradle Wrapper script invocation
Nexus Repository Manager itself as well as some of the technologies used in the evaluation require a Java runtime or development kit, which is available for most operating systems. We recommend to install the latest Oracle Java 8 JDK available from the download web page and following the installation instructions on the same site.
After a successful installation, you can verify it by running the command
java -version, which should result in
an output similar to
java version "1.7.0_75" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_75-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.75-b04, mixed mode)
Nexus Repository Manager and Nexus Repository Manager OSS require Java 7 or Java 8.
Apache Maven can be retrieved from the download page and installed following the instructions available there. We recommend the usage of the latest available Maven 3 version.
After a successful installation you can verify it with running the
mvn --version, which should result in an output similar to
Apache Maven 3.3.3 (799...; 2015-04-22T04:57:37-07:00) Maven home: /opt/tools/apache-maven-3.3.3 Java version: 1.7.0_75, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_75.jdk/Contents/Home/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "mac os x", version: "10.8.5", arch: "x86_64", family: "mac"
The examples in this guide use the so-called Gradle wrapper script. It
allows you to get Gradle installed automatically by the wrapper and
invoke all Gradle commands via it. To use it you simple invoke all
gradle commands with
./gradlew on Unix based systems and
gradlew.bat on Windows instead of
Alternatively Gradle can be retrieved from the download page and installed following the instructions available in the User Guide. We recommend the usage of the latest available Gradle version.
After a successful installation, you can verify it with running the
gradle -v, which should result in an output similar to
Gradle 2.0 Build time: 2014-07-01 07:45:34 UTC Build number: none Revision: b6ead6fa452dfdadec484059191eb641d817226c Groovy: 2.3.3 Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.3 compiled on December 23 2013 JVM: 1.7.0_65 (Oracle Corporation 24.65-b04) OS: Mac OS X 10.8.5 x86_64
Apache Ant can be retrieved from the download page and installed following the instructions available in the manual. We recommend the usage of the latest available Ant version.
After a successful completion,f you can verify your Ant installation
by running the command
ant -version, which should result in an
output similar to
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.4 compiled on April 29 2014
The example projects used in this guide contain ant targets in their build files that will automatically install Apache Ivy as part of the build. Alternatively you can retrieve Apache Ivy from the download page and install it following the instructions.
Microsoft Visual Studio and NuGet are needed to evaluate the .Net support of Nexus Repository Manager. There are a number of different Visual Studio distributions. Some of these distributions may have NuGet already installed, while others do not. Even if your Visual Studio installation is bundled with NuGet, you will want to make sure that you have upgraded to the latest version of the tool.
NuGet is a fast-paced project, and you'll find that new packages available on NuGet Gallery may not be compatible with older versions of the NuGet package manager.
For detailed instructions on installing NuGet in Visual Studio, please go to the NuGet project's documentation site and refer to the Installing NuGet instructions.

Simple Wedding Reception Menus
Many people admit that one of the most important aspects to plan with precaution for a wedding is the food. Every single choice is significant when it comes to the reception. The wedding day is a complex event and every single detail counts. To some couples, this experience becomes quiet maddening. It depends on the type of party each one of you is planning. This is why you need to think ahead if the wedding project you want to implement is feasible.
One of the most challenging tasks for the bride and groom to face is planning the reception menu. Among the most important key factors to consider when making this decision are your own taste and wedding budget. It's always safer to go for a traditional menu that can suit the majority of tastes. On the other hand, the cost of the menu should influence your final decision. Those who are on a budget have the opportunity of choosing simple food. It's totally untrue that cheap food is less delicious. The final cost of a menu is not necessarily in the quality of the food but in the quantity and additional ingredients and spices.
You don't have to order elaborated menus to wow your guests. Keep things close to a simple taste and serve something the majority knows. If it's important to you to impress your invitees with something inedited, choose exotic food. But it's riskier this way. Sea creatures are not on everyone's taste. There is another reason to choose simple food and that is the size of the reception. If you're having a small intimate celebration you can focus on a minimalist menu but not poor. This way you will cut your wedding costs and serve adequate food. Couples are aware that catering is one of the most expensive parts of a wedding reception. The time of day also counts in this sense, as well as the exact venue. We have a few ideas for you to explore.
Let's take for instance small informal affairs that occur during daytime. You can into consideration having a brunch reception. Serve fewer drinks and cut expenses on alcohol. It's less probable for your guests to drink that much during morning hours. Choose lighter beverages instead, such as coffee, tea or juice. These drinks are appropriate for different ages. Order mixed salads based on fruits and diverse pastries. Light lunch wedding receptions are casual or semi-formal events that can take place anytime between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm. Use home-style entrees to delight your guests, such as barbecued chicken and other meats with vegetable side dishes. Picnic and teas are also recommended for light lunch reception menus. Serve sodas, hot and ice teas, small sandwiches and scones.

Pig Dipper 6-14 is the 14th level in Pig Dipper.The objective of level 6-14 is to use the birds to eliminate all the pigs. Get at least 122,000 points for 3 stars.
Getting 3 stars is very hard because target score is really high.
send the Black bird into the water, through the wooden part of the bridge. DO NOT detonate the TNT there. Next, skip the Red bird over the boat by sending it slightly underwater. It should dislodge the anchor and send the boat down, down, down. Use the Lazer bird to detonate the TNT now.

Swindon 2-3 Villa highlights: Watch Benteke supershow on AVTV
You can watch highlights of the game now on AVTV.
Belgian beast Benteke opened the scoring at the County Ground and then pounced right at the death to earn the visitors a last-gasp win to set up a quarter-final berth.
In between times Gabby Agbonlahor hit a goal Paul Lambert referred to as "world-class" in his post-match media briefings.
That put Villa two to the good but sub Miles Storey restored parity for the hosts with a double-whammy in the second half.
But Benteke was not to be outdone as he fired Villa to victory in Wiltshire.
Villa will now find out their quarter-final opponents on Wednesday PM, with the draw taking place on Sky Sports immediately after the Chelsea v Man Utd evening game.
Undoubtedly Lambert will be eager for a home draw when the balls are released but part of him will just be delighted to be in the hat after the Robins gave his claret and blue troops one hell of a scare.

"For the first time an OLED not only is able to achieve a light yield of over 60 lm/W, but also at the same time meet the international Energy Star SSL Standard with regard to colour requirements," said BASF.
Sheet-form OLED emitters are touted as a possible replacement for fluorescent office and retail lighting – once efficiency, colour rendering, and lifetime are high enough. Fluorescent lighting varies in efficiency from 50 to 100 lm/W.
To meet Energy Star, BASF has used a combination of red, green and blue emitters.
"The OLEDs contain phosphorescent metal complexes as emitter materials and customised complementary materials, which ensure optimum constancy of the colour temperatures," said BASF. "That means the diodes are very colour-stable even when there are variations in luminous intensity."
Lifetime is still an issue, particularly with the blue emitter – in 2003 BASF developed a class of phosphorescent blue emitters based on an iridium complex.
"Our aim is to develop stable blue phosphorescence emitters. Whilst the colour coordinates and efficiencies of the new blue OLEDs are already outstanding, the service life still presents many challenges," said Dr Elmar Kessenich, project manager at BASF. "If we manage to produce deep-blue stable emitters, that will open up the way for us to make white OLED light tiles with a light yield of more than 100 lm/W."
BASF and Osram are conducting research together within the framework of the OLEDs for Applications on the Lighting Market (OPAL) project, which also includes Philips.
"The challenge now lies with process engineers to apply these high efficiencies economically to large active areas," said Dr Karsten Heuser, OPAL coordinator and director OLED lighting technology at Osram.
OPAL is sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research.

It's kind of hard to explain, but they didn't seem like Pokémon anymore. I mean, some of them did, like the starters or the legendaries and some other ones, but other than that they seemed like they were going off into some other thing that isn't Pokémon, if you know what I mean.

Multipotent stem cells and renal progenitors derived from amniotic fluid as potential tools for chronic kidney disease therapies
A great deal of attention has recently been focused in the area of stem cell technology as a possible alternative modality of treatment for a variety of diseases. End stage renal disease (ESRD) has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. An estimated 390,000 US residents are in treatment for ESRD and just last year more than 56,000 individuals were awaiting a kidney transplant. Currently, dialysis or kidney transplantation remain the only viable treatments despite significant limitations of both treatments. This situation along with an increasing shortage of donor organs has heightened interest in developing novel methods of therapy for kidney replacement. In this research we propose to study Alport Syndrome as a model leading to ESRD. Alport Syndrome is a hereditary glomerulonephritis estimated to affect at least 1 in 20,000 people. It is a chronic kidney disease caused by genetic defects in one of the proteins (type IV collagen) that make up the Glomerular Basement Membrane (GBM), an important component of the filter that allows the kidney to clean the blood. It has been shown that mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow may contribute to kidney repair in acute models of kidney disease as well as slowing down the progression of kidney disease in mice that suffer from chronic kidney injury. Herein we focus on the application of stem cells (AFSC) and kidney-specific progenitors (AFKPC) derived from mouse and human amniotic fluid. We have successfully demonstrated that these cells have the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types in vitro and when injected into experimental animals they can restore the functionality of multiple organs such as the kidney, lung, and pancreas. In particular, when injected in an in vivo model of Acute Tubular Necrosis, AFSC survive, integrate, differentiate into tubular-like cells and restore renal function. Major advantages of AFSC are that they can be easily retrieved through amniocentesis with no injury to the embryo and that they do not form tumors (teratomas) in vivo. We have also identified and characterized specific kidney progenitor cells within the total cell suspension present in the amniotic fluid. We hypothesize that AFSC or AFKPC could represent a readily available source of ethically acceptable, biologically unmodified stem cells that may prove useful as a novel alternative to current stem cell therapeutic techniques in regenerative medicine for chronic kidney disease.
The State of California is home to some of the nation's best organ transplant and treatment centers and becomes acuity aware of the growing shortage of organs for our patients and of the need for good alternative therapies in the field of regenerative medicine. In particular we focused our attention on chronic kidney disease that ultimately leads to ESRD. The need for donor organs continues to rise every year and emerging technologies such as those offered by stem cell research may assist our child patients as well as the adult citizens of California with alternative technologies that perhaps can make a significant impact in this field. Although human embryonic stem cells show the capacity for differentiation into multiple cell types, they also have an inherent propensity to form teratomas (tumors) which may limit their clinical usefulness in future therapies. However, a novel population of pluripotent stem cell exists within amniotic fluid, which can be easily obtained, stored, and possibly used for future regenerative medicine or clinical purposes without some of the same concerns over clinical compatibility as embryonic stem cells. In addition to stem cells, within the amniotic fluid there is a very heterogeneous cell population. In particular we have focused our attention on progenitor cells with specific renal characteristics. These could represent a new tool to ameliorate or cure various kidney diseases, because of their commitment toward kidney cell types. We intend to characterize the potential of these cells in kidney regeneration as preliminary studies to their possible use one day in the clinic. CIRM funding will ensure a competitive advantage for California in this innovative direction.

Toyota Tacoma Reviews
Toyota Tacoma Reviews and Owner Comments
I purchased my 1995 Toyota Tacoma 2 Will Dr. in the year 2000 and had 146,000 miles on it somebody used to haul their hourly now I've been using it for work every day and travel often and it has 425,000 miles on it and the only thing I've ever had to replace was the brakes in the clutch like they say this is the best four-cylinder motor ever made
i have owned my this truck for 3 years when i bought it it had 68,000miles now has 100,000. it is also lifted 6 inches with 35in tires, also has upgraded bumpers and sound system truck has been great nothing has gone wrong with the motor and i have put it through some rough times only thing i have ever had to replace was breaks, and installed new ranch struts which factory ones just didn't give a good enough ride with the lift.. over all would recommend this truck to anyone who's looking for a reliable and well build truck.
I have now owned 2 new Toyota products along with a newly purchased "Certified" Toyota Prius C. My purchase of the Prius came very, very prematurely. Right as Summer is upon us in the northeast my AC compressor decided to die at under 29,000 miles in my 2010 Tacoma. Of course 3 years has passed on my warranty but I was well under the 36,000 miles. It would have been at least $1900 before a hefty CT. sales tax to do the fix, and even then, who knows what else may have been at play. I could not see dumping that kind of money into a vehicle issue that should be covered by Toyota. The Sales Manager worked with me and got me into a pre-owned 2012 Prius with 47,000 miles on it. The trade was a wash and all I paid out of pocket was a doc fee, sales tax, reg/title and a pre-emptive platinum wrap warranty. I originally bought the Tacoma without even entertaining such an added expense, but now my confidence in Toyota is tarnished and I hope my latest car purchase will bring my confidence back into the fold. Had I had it fixed out of pocket or forgone the fix and gone to any other dealer or sold privately, I would be extremely unhappy with my losses. I feel like the dealership handled the situation as best they could and I feel I got a fair trade. At the end of the day, I know I will miss my truck and can only hope that the gas savings and new car settle my discontent.
this truck is great. 9 years old with 210,000 miles and it is running good. I love the 4 wheel drive. I go around everybody else stuck on the road. the 4 cylinder gives me 23 miles per gal. My biggest problem has been trusting the dealer. they really tried get me when my AC did not work. i discovered they wanted $500 for a $24 part. took it to a auto repair place and found no freon in the system. Replaced a leaking part for $200. Going in for replacement of the lower steering shaft. Other than that I have had very little problem.
my car is overheating.I add water to the radiator every morning.The temperature increases when am driving,whether the air condition is on or not.I once made a two hours journey not knowing that i did not cover the radiator,and since then,the radiator water drops every morning i check it.But the car was not over heating until recently.Please what will be the cause for i dont want a guess work.
Aloha! I bought my 1998 3.4L SR5 5 Speed Extended cab with only 26,000 miles on it. It is a 2 Wheel Drive, NOT a 4X4. Lots of Power, Good Gas Mileage, Loaded. I would have preferred a 2.4L Engine. This V 6 Has Enough Power to Keep up with Some V8s. No Trouble at all with this truck. Usual Maintenance Plugs and Air Filter. Only 86,000 Miles on it. Looks and drives like New.
my truck 99,000 this day 15 dec. 2013 2002 model 4x4 ext cab. cruise control will not engage light comes on but does not work. the frame was rustproofed rear tire replaced by recall by Toyota also.I am on third set of front brakes right now. my back bumper started rusting 3 yrs. ago. got new one, cost 310.00. engine has not me any trouble at all. I use 5w30w full syn. every 6,500 mi. keep filters changed and service trans. and cooling system.
Its a good truck;but the air bag light stays on after starting the truck.My truck is a 4X4 and when I drove it on the sand @ the Outer Banks it did great!
I got this truck new in 1999. Had it for five years and got another one. Best little truck never broke down and was great off road. Got about 15-18 mpg. Wish I still had the truck
Bought a brand new Tacoma dbl cab 4wd trd package in '04. This is my 6 Toyota PU covering a span of 35 years. Amazing. I have 140,000 miles. I get a clunk when the tranny downshifts to low, when coming to a stop. Dealer said that's normal; feels like a rear tranny mount. Small issue with the dome light; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Front springs are a joke. Replaced the whole suspension (springs and shocks, with 3" lift) at 120,000 miles and it's like driving a brand new truck again! Toyota Amazingness!
I bought my 1995 Tacoma Xtra Cab 4wd, 5 speed in 1998 from private party. This is an amazingly dependable, tough-built, very high quality vehicle !! I have owned it 15 years now and it still drives great at 191k miles, looks great, original paint still gets lots of nice comments, many people have offered to buy it, though I never have thought of selling it. No secrets ..just regular wash and wax, regular oil and filters change (Valvoline Full Synthetic 5w-30 and Fram Xtra Guard filters for oil and air), NGK Platinum plugs. Also use Valvoline Full synthetic in trans and differential. Only weak spot is the front rotors have required turning several times, pads go 100k+, still no rust,no dents, only 1 tiny rock chip in original windshield. No squeaks, rattles, leaks. Superb vehicle ..been in love with this truck since day of purchase. It was designed,engineered, built, finished, and maintained right.
I have owned this truck for 9 years and love it best truck I ever owned. At 300000 toyota put new frame under .now at 364000 idle problems I will fix. Ithink this truck is indestructible.
Bought new. Rear tires blew first gravel road I took it on. Windshield shattered in the driveway, first snow fall. Vynel flaking off the dash, after 2 years. Breaks go almost to the floor since day one, and dealership does nothing to fix them. All you smell is fuel every time you start it. Transmission acting up right at 60,000; had to be fix. Biggest piece of crap I could have bought. NEVER EVER AGAIN.
I bought a new Tacoma STD cab 5 speed from the dealer in 1997, I now have 646k on this truck, never touched the engine, did put a bearing kit in the transmission at 489k. I always can depend on this truck.
Bought this vehicle new. I am religious about maintenance. I have less than 50,000 miles on it and have had unusual amount of repairs. I have replaced the a/c blower motor twice. The second set of O.E.M. brake pads had only 10,000 miles on them when backing came unglued from the pads on both sides of the vehicle at the same time. The rotors warped and had to be replaced. The a/c evaporator developed a pin hole leak and had to be replaced. The fresh air/recirculated air door servo motor had to be replaced. There is over spray on the one of the front fenders. The a/c blower motor switch resistor has had to be replaced. Drivers door window came off of track. The glove box shock absorber retainer tab is broken and is not replaceable without going to the extremes. And the air intake for the engine and the a/c evaporator (which is inside the cabin on the firewall) suck an abnormal amount of dirt and leaves. But other than that I love it. Oh! And the price for replacing a set of keys for it is right at $700.00 which is ridiculous.
I bought this regular cab, 4-wheel drive, 4 liter 1995 Tacoma in '97 with 30,000 miles on it. I live in Alaska and it has been a real champ. In 2008, I replaced the original battery after it died on New Year's Eve in Fairbanks at minus 45. We dragged it ito the garage, warmed it up, jumped it and I made it back to Anchorage. It still has the original muffler. Granted the starter probably will be replaced for the second time this week, but I'm not complaining! I had a tune up with a local mechanic who used non-Toyota spark plugs and the dealer service manager took me to task for not using Toyota plugs, which in fact I think killed one cylinder, which now operates at 60 percent. People are always trying to buy it from me, but I swear I will replace the engine before I ever sell.
I have a 02 Toyota Tacoma and I love it. This is my 3rd Tacoma, first was 97 I totaled it. Second was 03 and I traded it for 02 cause I wasn't to crazy about the color. Not had to many problems out of mine. The exhaust has rusted in two that I still haven't got fixed yet. Have had to replace 02 sensor, clean my mass air flow sensor and now I have a short in the headlight harness I have to fix now. Truck is 10 years old with over 100,000 miles so I have def. got my money worth.
Since new in '03 I've put 93K. Took it to the dealer after 5 yrs of cautious avoidance. They said an "open recall for frame corrosion" would get me a free undercoating. The check engine lamp has been on ever since = code P-042 "OS2 sensor bank one". Found to be sending 100% properly. That poor guy in Arizona : If it aint (isn't) broke DONT FIX IT ! I live in fear of having to buy anything or trust anyone now...What a drag. ~ JD
Bought this 2000 new with the 2.7L (PreRunner w/auto). Great truck! Has 140000 now. Just replaced the starter due to it not wanting to start after sitting for a day or two (would start after a few turns and clicks of the key). This truck has been used for short and long distant driving. It has hauled just about everything from appliances, rocks, lumber and so on. Believe it or not, with the tail gate down and easy driving, I average at 30mpg highway and 26 city. The way to do it is "preventive maintenance."
1996 4WD bought this truck with 2k miles in 96' when I was 18 just out on my own from high school. Dealership that sells Chevy and RV's got it as a trade in from a guy who wanted to haul his tow-behind RV with it. It didn't have quite enough balls to do the job, so he traded them both for a Bus RV. Almost 16 years and 245k miles later this truck is still looking good and running strong. No truck payment since 2000 and maybe $1500 in non-scheduled maintenance since then. Rough Chicago winters, Chicago potholes and Chicago cab drivers can't kill it. If some people on here got a lemon, I got the opposite end of the spectrum. It's like the Terminator of pick-ups. I swear, if i put this truck in a car crusher, the cube would un-crumple itself and start on the first key turn. I replaced the starter in 2009 and the exhaust from the catalytic back in 2010. Other than that, all major components are factory. I will admit, it's a little puny compared to American trucks and even the new Tacoma's. If you see one used buy it, you will get your money's worth.
Bought this truck used in 2006 with 92,000 miles. Has the 3.4 and is 4x4. Been the best truck I've ever owned. Had the head gasket blow 2 weeks ago at 198,000 miles thanks to the crappy design of toyota and not honoring the recall issue. All replaced and done my self and back on the road. Other than have had no problems at all. Best part is pulling out the big trucks when they get stuck. HAHA! To bad toyota quit making the 3.4. It blows away the newer trucks!!
Gas mileage sucks! Stock 17.5 mpg hwy I added K/N filter and cold intake with minor difficulty for a whopping 20mpg! My friends have Dodge diesel 4x4s that get 21. Front wheel wells on this model have openings that collect leaves and has to be cleaned regularly to prevent rust. Paint job chips, scratches and stains very easily. I keep teflon wax on it but the paint is bad. A/C is only fair and I have had it checked by pros. Stock brakes sucked (dealer did them twice before 30k) so I went proactive and installed drilled and slotted front discs along with ceramic pads to great effect! Electronic tranny button is worthless, nobody can figure out what its use or need is. Complained to the factory about these problems and they told me I was the only person to do so. Was told by the dealer that only auto trans was avail in my model. My next truck will be a manual even if I have to buy used. Door lights would be great as my friends tell me they cannot see my open doors at night. Other than that it is a great truck and I expect to have it for at least 5 more years before I move up to a cab over for camping.
The problem with my 2003 Toyota Tacoma misfiring after a preventative maintenance timing belt replacement was solved. It turned out to be a broken/missing sensor tooth on the crankshaft position-timing belt wheel. How it happened?...don't know, probably done on belt removal or installation. The P/U has been running fine since bought new in 2003 and 97000 miles on the odometer. The ignigter and ECM were ok as were the coils. Very nice, dependable truck and the A/C works fine , even here in hot, dry Arizona.
bought my 1st toyota pickup 5 yrs ago loved the truck took alot 2 get her running paid $2000 for it had sum major issues for a 91 took it to the toyota place and they told me theyd give me $3500 for it on a new 08 tacoma so i did it shure glad i did ive got 60,000 miles on her now getn 28mpg compaired to the 15mpg on the 91 . been upgradeing this 1 since i got it afe cold air intake,tornado,fuel miser,dual catback exhaust,bed cover,,side steps. soon to come body armor front bumper and a chip from gforce.im going to drive this truck till theres nothing left then fix it and drive some more
At 97000 miles I took the P/U to a local garage to have timing belt and all other belts replaced as preventative maintenance. The mechanical part went well but the engine was missing when started. Diagnosis resulted in that coil for cyls 1-4 was not firing. Test showed that signal from the ignighter on fired once, the other two coils fired ok. Subtitution with a known good igniter resulted in the same misfire. That leave the EMC in question. The p/u was running perfect when it entered the garage. The head head mechanic and help are all scratching their heads and I'm without a P/u. Sounds to me as rule #1...disconnect the battery ground when doing work on the engine was not done. What say you?
bought an o6 4x4 in 2008 had 26000 miles on it I have replaced rearend U joints condensor wheelbearing need to replace balljoint leafsprings on driver side which are broken and needs torque convertor. The truck now has 130000.This is my 2nd taco and the first one didnt give me any problem.I am really dissapointed in my truck.To bad they wont let you keep them for a 2 month test drive!
Its an OK truck. This is my 2nd Tacoma (1st was a '98, Toyota bought back due to severe frame rot). Had the frame replaced on this 1, took over 3 months to complete (in the middle of winter of course!) Replace timimg belt, water pump and trans-axle seals at same time. Rear brakes need a major repair ($1200) due to what sounds like a design flaw. Check engine light is always on, needs O2 sensor, same as my old one. Now the heat is stuck on in the middle of summer. What next? This will be my last Toyota, unless Toyota can figure out how to make a truck last like they used to!
Good truck over all. Just bad on gas milage. And I have the 4 cyl.
Having problems with the accelerator. Has full gas pedal sometimes, other times I have to push it down half way to get any response from the engine. Had the codes checked, nothing showed up.
Bought new one in 1997 V-6 Automatic 4WD. Owned it for 12 years Replaced tires, front brakes, and battery. Did recommended maintenance. 2 years ago Toyota made me an offer I couldn't refuse on rusted frame recall ! Big mistake! MISS THIS TRUCK DAILY! This was the finest , most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.!! Been looking for another ever since ! Someone help!!

Campanaio -- an Agricultural Settlement in Roman Sicily
Wilson, R. J. A., Antiquity
Roman Sicily has long been known from classical sources for its agricultural fertility, but little archaeological research has been conducted on the rural economy. The Campanaio project is uncovering a wealth of information about a small (3 ha) hellenistic and Roman rural settlement and its economy, 25 km west of Agrigento. Excavations (1994-95, 1997-98) have revealed seven principal phases. Activity started c. 200 BC, and was intensive for two centuries in the central part of the site. A complex of buildings underwent two complete reconstructions between 200 BC and AD 25; in its last phase (c. 50 BC) it comprised an L-shaped building some 17 m long and 8.40 m wide, with dry-stone wails, earth floors and mud-brick superstructure (FIGURE 1). A rubbish dump outside it yielded much 2nd/1st-century BC ceramic and environmental material, with evidence for contact with Cyrenaica (brazier lugs), Greece (Rhodian wine amphora stamped `Agathokleus') and north Africa (including a mortarium stamped with a ostrich and the letters T and P (FIGURE 2) -- can anyone furnish parallels?). Nearby industrial activity, starting before 150 BC, is attested by two inter-connecting cisterns and a tile kiln. One cistern had an inflow channel (of purpose-made pipes) and an overflow pipe (an afterthought), made up of re-used Punic amphorae with their spikes knocked off (three are stamped, one with the `Tanit' sign) (FIGURE 3). The re-use of amphorae as water pipes is surprisingly rare -- I know of examples at Gela, Eyguieres, Bibracte, Rome, Cagliari, Nora and Gortyn: does anyone know others? The[sections][sections] tile kiln was replaced c. 125 BC by a bigger structure (4.75 m by 4.25 m: FIGURE 4): curiously it has a split-level firing chamber with a brick-revetted step marking the junction -- are any comparanda known for this feature? At this stage the Campanaio settlement was probably quite small, a large farmstead rather than a village proper, although the tileworks represents considerable estate investment. Scanty early imperial activity was followed by renewed building work in the late Roman period (c. AD 375-460). Fresh structures were tacked on to the ruined hellenistic building, a new warehouse was erected nearby, an olive oil separating-vat was built to the west, and elsewhere a lime kiln (the first in Sicily of Roman date), and a whole set of buildings on the eastern side of the settlement were constructed -- in total amounting to a substantial village. These buildings (except the kiln) are also dry-stone with mud-brick or adobe superstructure, demonstrating that this time-honoured construction method continued in Sicily into late Roman times. In this phase there was also evidence for iron-working, possible leather production (a cess-pit) and the manufacture on site of tiles, mortaria and amphorae (represented by wasters dumped c. AD 400 in the disused lime kiln). The amphorae are variants of the flat-bottomed Keay 52, production of which is known also at Sicilian Naxos and at three sites in the toe of Calabria.
[Figures 1-4 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
All this activity came to a violent end c. AD 460, with vivid destruction levels everywhere, possibly the result of Vandal attack (attested in the sources at this date -- Campanaio lies only 5 km from the south coast). …

One year jail for burglar caught in the act
A burglar who was caught red-handed was yesterday sentenced to a year in prison after he admitted to stealing $20,000 worth of electronic equipment from a Mayor and City Council (M&CC) worker.
Carl Trudor, 42, who broke and entered the M&CC Compact Disk Room at the Stabroek Market on February 27, and stole Rawle Paul's cellphone, valued at $9,000 and radio, valued at $11,000, was caught as he was leaving with the booty.
According to M&CC Prosecutor James Garnett, Paul had left the room secure around 10.30 am to pick up his daughter at her school. Garnett said that upon Paul's return, Trudor was exiting with his spoils. Paul held on to Trudor and took him to the City Constabulary Enforcement Unit that is housed in the Stabroek Fire Station building, where he was handed over to a constable. He was later charged.
For not wasting the court's time, Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond sentenced Trudor to the minimum sentence for the crime.

May 27, 2016
Former Iraqi captive Tommy Hamill was reunited with his wife, Kellie, in Germany Wednesday.
Hamill is receiving treatment at an American military hospital there.
The Hamills are expected to leave the medical center by the end of the week to return to Macon, Mississippi.
Doctors say Hamill will make a full recovery from his physical injuries.
Mississippi senator Trent Lott said he was impressed with Hamill's upbeat attitude. And he said what he saw of the Macon native was even more impressive.
"Part of it was, when I watched him on video, you could look in his eyes. He didn't look like a man who was scared. He looked like a man who was in control of the situation," Lott said. "I think maybe once again that we saw the ingenuity of Mississippians. They're quite often underestimated and his own ingenuity is what got him free. We didn't spring him. He broke loose."
Lott said he talked with Hamill by telephone on Tuesday.

Secrets of Success
Things are Looking Up
Friday, August 24, 2012
My shoulder is improving! I've got an increasing list of exercises from my physical therapist to do, so I'm building strength there. Yesterday was the first day I didn't feel a need to ice my shoulder, and when I told my PT that, she opted to not ice my shoulder at the end of treatment to see how I tolerated it. I need to get a couple of 1 pound weights for my latest ST from her; Target doesn't have them, so will probably need to hit Sports Basement where I can use my team 10% off discount. I see the PT twice next week, and then we'll switch to once a week through September unless things get wiggy again.
My leg has released enough that I'm gently getting back into running. Now up to running every other day for 3 miles. The knee cap still gets tight at odd moments, but I'm making good progress on loosening up the IT band and the minor glute.
I bought my Vitamix a week ago today, and I've been having green smoothies daily since then. I fix it for my morning snack, and it makes enough I have a 2nd portion either with lunch or in the afternoon. I am getting boucoup more veggies and fruits in that way. I'm enjoying the creativity of concocting new smoothies too. Brings me back to when my sister and I would go in the kitchen to "concoct" something.
And the weight is going down this week.
I thought I'd go nuts with having my major exercise taken from me since I'm not training with the triathlon team while I'm recovering, but especially with my weight dropping, that gives me peace that this period can also bear its own fruits. I'm considering being done with triathlon training for 2012, and then switch over to running being the main cardio and building swimming back in a couple times a week when I'm cleared by my PT.
Reality is when you're training really intensely you're not really supposed to be losing weight because you're already stressing your body. Switching over to half marathon training will be lighter training than triathlon training, so I could be losing weight in a healthy way then.

Glad your body is healing. My daughter got hit in a basketball game in her upper thigh last year and it caused a major contusion (charlie horse). Her leg was so tight for so long, it just wouldn't release. She went for therapy but it took a long long time and killed her season and her spirit. Glad your back to running and maybe it's a good time to shift your focus to weight loss for a while. No matter what you do you are living an amazing healthy lifestyle with all the smoothies and caring for you body!
I'm happy for you Karen!

Denmark's Thomas Bjorn finished 20-under-par to win the EPGA's Nedbank Golf Challenge on Sunday, his 15th on the European Tour.
The 42-year-old carded a final round 65 for a total of 268 at the Gary Player County Club, finishing ahead of Spaniard Sergio Garcia and overnight leader Welshman Jamie Donaldson.
Bjorn hit two eagles on the back nine to stun Garcia, who also struck 65.
It was Donaldson who led the way entering Sunday having been a model of consistency this week, hitting 67s either side of a second round 66.
He began in the manner you might expect given his advantage heading into the final day, producing four successive pars.
Birdies at five and seven added some impetus; however, Donaldson gave a shot back at the ninth to ensure he had company in the shape of Garcia at the summit.
With his iron play stupendous, the Spaniard began with back to back gains that were complemented by three pars in a row.
As solid a beginning as that was, further fireworks were necessary and he proved up to the challenge, producing a streak of four birdies from the sixth.
All the while, Bjorn had stayed hot on their heels courtesy of strokes picked up at two, six and nine.
It was after the turn, though, that he really caught fire, producing a stunning eagle at ten to suddenly leapfrog the pair.
Pars thereafter kept Bjorn in prime position but, having been joined by Garcia, he picked up a further two shots at 14 to reclaim the lead.
It was that effort that ultimately derailed the challenge from the Ryder Cup Winner, whose bogey at 16 ruined successive gains.
Three stokes in front by that point, the veteran Björn did not blink as pars at the next two virtually sealed his triumph, so much so that a drop on 18 meant little. He ultimately finished two strokes ahead of Garcia and Donaldson.
The latter ended his week with a disappointing 70, a birdie on 17 representing his only one coming in.
