"Salesman was good. Initially the finance manager was not very professional or accommodating until he wanted to try and sell me some add on packages then he was my friend. If he was more freindly up front I would have considered one of the packages. I think they snuck in fees that were not explained noticed them when I got home. I registered out of state and did not get my plates until day before temps expired and the package came requiring signature over 21 so I would need to take day off or drive 40 miles to pick up new registration. Why would something that normally comes usps need a signature over 21. My final experience with this dealer was negative. Also the registration was in their hands a week before it got to me. I had called dealership two days after purchase of vehicle to confirm they were caring for registration. That took 40 minutes and three calls. "

On my way out, I asked another customer about their experience with their vehicle (same one I was getting ready to purchase) and the dealership. This customer told me to not buy from there at all.

794 Jericho Tpke
St James, NY 11780
"Locations was easily found. I parked in the New Car lot, but the manager walked me over to the Used side, was very friendly and inviting. The salesman who we worked with, was very passive until I told him I wanted to go inside and review the numbers. After talking, I decided that this wasn't the buy for me and told him I would not be buying the car. Salesman got very irritated and aggressive once I said that. Not too sure if I'd go back to the Used lot, I found I like the 2015/16 Charger style better and will begin looking more into those."
50. Bay Ridge Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram 9.7 miles
8825 5th Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11209
"Typical liars. I asked Mike, the internet sales guy 3 times if there was any additional fees before I had to drive to Brooklyn. He assured me that the price, $28,989 was the total price. When I got there, they said there was a $1,000 "reconditioning fee." Reconditioning fee for a leftover with only 250 miles? What a load of bull. The salesmen said, "you know, they have to put air in the tires." The car was filthy, blocked in by a bunch of other cars, and obviously a bait-and-switch deal. It had been on CarGurus for almost a year. Deceptive advertising is one thing, but flat out lying. Stay away. If they lied about that, what else are they lying about?"
51. Town & Country Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram 24.6 miles
3156 Hempstead Tpke
Levittown, NY 11756
"I was initially contact right away and asked for basic financing information that would determine if a visit was worth it. I was told I needed to be "standing in the showroom" to get numbers. I was then sent a note from the GM where I told him I was disappointed with the service and received another email saying a sales specialist would contact me. I again stated I knew everything was assumptive but what was the financing. I also asked for the numbers to be sent to me via email. Never got another contact from the dealer....I have purchased and leased a lot of cars and this was one of my poorest interactions with a dealer."

Date: Thursday, November 15, 2012
Time: 7 p.m. (ET)
Location: Columbia, SC.
Arena: Colonial Life Arena
TV: SportSouth
Radio: WISW 1320 AM (Brad Muller); GamecocksOnline.com

Savannah State series:South Carolina leads 4-0 (all in Columbia).
To say that an 82-58 trouncing of Louisiana Tech was impressive would be a vast understatement. After all, it was only Tech's 47th loss at Thomas Assembly Center in 457 games. The best thing about the win that has drawn some looks from across the college basketball world is South Carolina's biggest weakness at this point in the season; youthfulness.
No player on the South Carolina roster had been born yet during the heyday of Lady Techster basketball in the 1980's when they ruled the women's basketball universe. As with many young players, they just don't know any better. They don't understand how big it was to pass this early season test. It also helps that their head coach won't let them.
"I don't think they really understand," Staley said on Wednesday. "I think it's good to gain some confidence, but what we do in practice keeps them humbled. We're not playing our best basketball, and we shouldn't be at this point, but we feel very comfortable in what we're doing."
Carolina has been lighting the scoreboard up, something they weren't able to do often last season. Only three times during the regular season last year that Carolina scored more than 70 points and their high was 79 points against North Carolina. In the first two games this season the Gamecocks are averaging more than their season-high last year.
"What you're seeing is that we're able to get points in transition," Staley said. "That's something we probably haven't been able to do in years past this early."
Carolina returns home for the next two games when they welcome a pair of Tigers to the Colonial Life Arena. They host Savannah State Thursday and rival Clemson on Sunday. Last season Carolina beat Savannah State 65-39 in Columbia and beat Clemson 65-48 in Clemson. Staley believes her team will face a unique challenge in Savannah State that will help her young players learn how to defend where they aren't as comfortable.
"They're a very athletic group that likes to get up and down the court," Staley said. "They can knock down three's, they can get to the bucket, and they will post up our guards so we'll get to see some things that we haven't seen. Our guards will have to defend on the block."
Carolina will be without the services of forward Elem Ibiam for the second consecutive game after suffering a slight head injury in practice prior to the Louisiana Tech game. While Staley says Ibiam could play, there's no reason to rush her back against weaker competition.
"We're taking the ultimate precaution," Staley said. "She's able to play but we don't want her to take a hit in the head that could keep her out a little longer."

No other movie reviews could best express how effective and moving the latest big-screen adaptation of "Les Misérables" than this candid family video.
After watching the musical film, the family left a New York cinema sobbing loudly inside their car.
"Wasn't it better than the play, George? It was better than the play," the crying mother told her husband.
When asked about the saddest part of the film, the mom said that she was deeply stirred at the end when Jean Valjean was dying.
"I was walking and I was crying," the father in the driver seat confessed. He added that he cried more over the movie than the funerals that he had been to.
"I'm so upset. I don't want to talk about this," the mom bawled. Their sons, Ryan and Kevin Ferguson, laughed and continued to videotape them on the way home.
The latest movie adaptation of "Les Misérables" is packed with star-studded cast, among them Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried. The Tom Hooper movie touches on the economic upheaval and social unrest during the 19th century France.

I love the fabrics and style of Christina Strutt which is why I purchased this book as soon as I saw it through my book club. The book is lovely. However, I wish I had known that this was merely a new cover on old material. I didn't see any mention of this in the writeup for the book before I purchased it. The author released the exact same book a few years ago only it was called Decorating Vintage Style (with a Country Living logo in the top corner of the cover).
As I was flipping through the new book, the photos looked very familiar so I checked my personal library and there it was... the same book, same photos in the same order and same page numbers only a different cover photo and title. I'm disappointed that this was not new material from Ms. Strutt and I feel a bit mislead by the publisher so I'm giving it 2-stars for those points only.
If you don't already have the original book in your own library, this "re-released" edition is worth more stars. The photos and material are beautifully presented and if you are already a Christina Strutt fan you will enjoy it. Unfortunately, I'll have to send my new copy back because as much as I love the content, I don't need two copies of the same book.
Chapters in this book cover the romance of vintage, vintage kitchens, living spaces, bedrooms, retreats & hideaways and creating vintage style. Elements detailed in the photos include Strutt's gorgeous faded floral fabrics, blue and white seaside ticking, painted furniture, chipped crockery, vintage books, skirted sinks, nature's accessories (lemons, eggs, garden flowers etc.) glass decanters, slipcovered chairs and ribboned pillows.
If you like this whimsical, fetching style, it's a lovely book for a side table. The charm of the cover is a beguiling hint of what you will find inside.
Apart from the above, I highly recommend Vintage Chic to those who, like me, love the very pretty, romantic, English style of decoration. Christina Strutt designs lovely, dreamy, pastel floral fabrics, and in this book she shows how they can be used in every room of the house and even in the garden.
Sad to say, I was underwhelmed. There just wasn't much spark to this book. A lot of the photos were blah, lacking in inspiration, and worse looked somehow dated. We like Christina's subtle color palette, but here it seemed a lack of creative daring. Instead of a decorating book I will pour over and study happily for months--which is what I did with Romantic Home Sewing--it's a flip through and a 'trip to the Goodwill' sort of reaction.
I'm am very thankful to the reviewers here who gave me the heads-up that this is a reprint.

2. John Buckland, who was dressed as Batman, and Troy Marcum, who was dressed as Captain America, were in costume for an event at an American Legion Post when they saw smoke from a nearby home.
3. The heroes arrived at the home and Marcum broke the window. As the smoke began to clear, Buckland noticed something furry. He reached in and grabbed the cat. The homeowners were not home at the time.
4. Buckland, who used to be a fireman and has served in Iraq, resuscitated the cat. He said the cat hissed at him after it came to.
5. The two men said they were just doing what any normal person would have done, and they were glad no one else was home at the time.

Stellar Technology releases Series LWU subsea LVDT
The LWU60X is an AC/AC unit with v/v output. The LWU61X and LWU65X are DC/DC units with outputs of ±5 Vdc or 0-10 Vdc and 4-20mA, respectively. The LWU units are made of 316 stainless steel, and are fully welded. The heavy duty construction makes these units able to endure the most rigorous applications including 10 years submersion in seawater at a depth of 7500 ft. (2300 m). The free unguided armature design allows non-magnetic fluids to enter the transducer body without affecting the operation of the transducer. In addition, this thru-hole design helps overcome the problems associated with marine growth.
The LWU Series is available now from Stellar Technology, with prices starting a $1,430. A variety of cable lengths and customer-specified connectors are available.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf: 'You are my hands'
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf began his Sunday morning conference address by relating the story of a large statue of Jesus that was severely damaged during a World War II bombing of a city. Experts were able to repair most of the statue, but the hands had been damaged so severely that they could not be restored. The statue remained without hands. The people of the city added to the base of the statue of Jesus Christ a sign: "You are my hands."
'We are the hands of Christ'
Second counselor in the First Presidency, President Uchtdorf said, "When I think of the Savior, I often picture Him with hands outstretched; reaching out to comfort, heal, bless, and love. And He always talked with — never down to — people. He loved the humble and the meek and walked among them, ministering to them and offering hope and salvation.
"This is what He did during His mortal life; it is what He would be doing if He were living among us today; and it is what we should be doing as His disciples and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. … As we emulate His perfect example we can become His hands; our eyes, His eyes; our heart, His heart."
'Our hands can embrace'
President Uchtdorf recollected details arising from his experience as a boy living in the aftermath of World War II in a severely depleted Germany. Humanitarian aid from the Church came to Germany in the form of food and clothing.
"To this day, I can still remember the smell of the clothing and I can still taste the sweetness of the canned peaches," he recalled.
Some German families joined the Church solely because of that humanitarian aid. Unfortunately, many established members looked down upon the new converts — even referring to them by the offensive name "canned-food Mormons." President Uchtdorf expressed his hope that Church members today will embrace new converts better than what transpired in post-World War II Germany.
"I hope we welcome and love all of God's children, including those who might dress, look, speak, or just do things differently," he said. "It is not good to make others feel as though they are deficient. Let us lift those around us. Let us extend a welcoming hand. Let us bestow upon our brothers and sisters in the Church a special measure of humanity, compassion and charity so that they feel, at long last, they have finally found home."
'Our hands can comfort'
President Uchtdorf said it is imperative for Church members to choose to extend compassion to others instead of quickly imposing condemnation.
"With this in mind, let our hearts and hands be stretched out in compassion toward others, for everyone is walking his or her own difficult path," he said. "As disciples of Jesus Christ, our Master, we are called to support and heal rather than condemn. We are commanded to mourn with those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort (see Mosiah 18:9). … Let us love at all times. And let us especially be there for our brothers and sisters during times of adversity."
'Our hands can serve'
Through a Jewish legend about two brothers, President Uchtdorf illustrated true compassion.
The brothers, Abram and Zimri, jointly owned a field and worked it together. They divided the labor and harvest equally. However, their circumstances were vastly different — Abram had a wife and seven sons while Zimri lived alone. Each brother wanted to donate one-third of his harvest to the other: Abram because he felt his brother worked too hard without any sons to share his burden of labor, and Zimri because he knew his brother had a large family to feed.

Watch This Year's Met Ball Red Carpet Live Stream At 7:00 PM ET
UPDATE: Ready? Get set... Go!
The most exclusive invite in the fashion world just got a little easier. For the second year in a row, the Met Gala red carpet will be available to the masses via live streaming. All you have to do is log on to Moda Operandi, Vogue, Samsung, or the Metropolitan Museum websites and you'll get a front-row view of couture gown after couture gown — and the celebrities wearing them, of course.
Vogue's William Norwich and model Hilary Rhoda will be taking up hosting duties, and they've promised interviews with all the gala co-chairs. That means one-on-ones with Rooney Mara, designer Riccardo Tisci, Moda Operandi-cofounder Lauren Santo Domingo, and Anna Wintour herself. They'll also be chatting it up with all the celebrity attendees (we're secretly hoping for a KimYe exclusive!), and asking questions chosen through Facebook and Twitter (use the hashtag #MetQuestions, if you've got a burning question). The whole affair kicks off at 7 p.m. next Monday, so make sure you've got it all bookmarked now.

Editorial Reviews
—Better Homes & Gardens
"If anyone can help us stop procrastinating, start exercising or get organized, it's Gretchen Rubin. The happiness guru takes a sledgehammer to old-fashioned notions about change."
"It's exciting to find a self-help book that's not only full of eye-opening insight but also provides practical tips to help you procrastinate and stress less, exercise and eat more healthfully, and spend time on activities that matter. We're really glad that Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project, decided to investigate her affinity for habits, because in the process she's come up with a great guide to help us lay the foundation of a more satisfying life. Best of all, Better Than Before is a really fun read—Rubin's friendliness, candor, and humor mirror a lively conversation with a best friend." —Apple iBooks
"The Happiness Project lays out life's essential goals…Her new book, Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives, serves as a kind of detailed instruction manual on how to achieve them." —New York Times Sunday Book Review
"In Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives, Gretchen Rubin picks up where [William] James left off, integrating a wealth of insight from psychology, sociology, and anthropology in an illuminating field guide to harnessing the transformative power of habit in modern life."
—Brain Pickings
"Change can be good. Particularly if it helps us live longer, healthier, indeed, happier lives — the objective of Rubin's latest project."
—Chicago Tribune
"Author Gretchen Rubin says most people fall into one of four motivation types. Knowing yours is key to taking on new habits."
"Gretchen Rubin… [is] lighthearted and inviting—full of insights that sound familiar and advice that sounds less like what you should do and more like what you want to do.... With her focus on taking first steps and creating early successes, this is a refreshing take on how to change stubborn patterns that limit what we can enjoy about our lives." —Audiofile Magazine
"Do you have a bad habit you're trying to shake, or a good one you wish you could cultivate? Gretchen Rubin is one of the most charming and erudite authors of her generation. Here, she uses her gifts to help you eat right, sleep well, stop procrastinating, and start enjoying all that life has to offer."
—Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet
"Gretchen Rubin combines deep research and observations from her own life to explain how habits emerge and—more important—how they can change. It's indispensable for anyone hoping to overhaul how they (almost unthinkingly) behave."
—Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit
"Filled with insights about our patterns of behavior, Better Than Before addresses one of life's big and timeless questions: how can we transform ourselves? In a way that's thought-provoking, surprising, and often funny, Gretchen Rubin provides us with the tools to build a life that truly reflects our goals and values."
—Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post and New York Times bestselling author of Thrive
"Is there a habit in your life you'd like to change? If so, here's your first step: Read this book. It's loaded with practical, everyday tips and techniques that will guide you to success."
—Dan Heath, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Made to Stick, Switch, and Decisive
"Almost everyone wants to be 'better'—slimmer, smarter, better looking, more interesting, more productive—and we want to know we're improving, we want the reinforcing evidence. Gretchen Rubin's new masterpiece, Better Than Before, shows us how. Unlike other books on habits, Rubin's book gives us the specific tools and a blueprint for getting back on track—the fast track."
—Brian Wansink, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of Slim by Design and Mindless Eating
"With bold and original insights, Gretchen Rubin reveals the hidden truths about how to change our habits—from resisting junk food and hitting the gym to ending procrastination and saving money. Better Than Before is a gem, and the first habit you should form is reading a chapter every night."
—Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take
"Gretchen Rubin's superpower is curiosity. Luckily for us, she's turned her passionate inquiry to the topic of making and mastering habits. Weaving together research, unforgettable examples, and her brilliant insight, Better Than Before is a force for real change. It rearranged what I thought I knew about my habits, and I'm better for it."
—Brené Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Daring Greatly andThe Gifts of Imperfection

Things I Loved About This Book:
* The 4 Tendencies: For most of this book, I thought these were not too impressive - I felt like all of them fit me somewhat. However, by the end of the book, I realized just how helpful they were. The quiz at the end to determine which tendency you fall in is very helpful, and you might want to skip ahead after the first chapter if you aren't sure what category you fall in. (I'm a questioner).
* Habits are different for different people. Rubin is the first author I've read who captures this concept well, and it makes complete sense once its presented. I have a 'lightning bolt' habit approach where habits are often formed overnight, but its helpful to see that many people aren't wired that way.
* Loved the section on abstinence being easier than moderation (for some people some of the time). Great insight, and a unique observation.
* The loophole spotting chapter is very helpful as well. Helps correct some of the self-defeating loopholes we often build into our habits.
* The danger of rewards and the benefits of treats was very good as well. External rewards that combat the habits we want to set are bad, internal treats that reinforce our habits are good. Simple . . . but hard to implement.Read more ›
The premise of this book is we can establish and then use habits to affect change in our lives. "Habits," Rubin states in the book's introduction, "make change possible by freeing us from decision-making and from using self-control." What Rubin means by this is that we can learn how to modify our behaviors so that we automatically do those things that we might otherwise not want to (like exercise, clean up after ourselves, avoid junk food, etc.). In the same way that we automatically brush our teeth without thinking about it, we can learn how to make other desirable behaviors (like eating better, avoiding time wasters, etc.) into "no brainers" that become folded into our everyday lives.
As Rubin further explains in the opening section, we have to choose strategies that will work for our specific personality type. To accomplish that, the book opens with a section that has you figure out what your main "tendency" is: are you an Upholder, Questioner, Rebel, Obliger, or perhaps a combo of these four types? From there, Rubin puts the principles in action by providing twenty-one strategies for helping you establish the habits that you want to create in your own life.Read more ›
Unfortunately, personal examples and anecdotes are (over)used for every point. I know way more about Gretchen's life, thoughts, and feelings than I want to... In fact, sometimes it felt like I was reading her personal diary (at one point she reminded herself of her Number One Commandment: "Be Gretchen"... Come on!) which was uncomfortable and a huge waste of time... so I ultimately had to scroll through pages at a time to just get back to the core messages that could help the READER work on their habits -- and not waste time on hearing how Gretchen and her friends and family were so successful in forming/maintaining their own habits.
Not sure if I'd recommend buying the book and wasting your time reading all of it or if I'd just recommend reading reviews and articles that cut through the cr*p and just explain her basic but very helpful habit forming frameworks, which are truly insightful and applicable to everyday life.
I gave this book a fighting chance. I purchased it after all--I thought I would like it. I read about halfway before I got too irritated to keep going. The author attempts to present herself as an everywoman, going out and trying these new things that she reads about so that she can share her advice with others. But she lacks all self-awareness. Even though she talks about researching the science of habits, she shares surprisingly little of that science, and instead spends most of her time talking about herself and what did and didn't work for her. I will give her a little bit of credit for being honest and saying that people should find what works best for themselves, and that what works for her won't work for everyone, but she doesn't focus on anyone but herself. Then she creates these arbitrary categories, including these "four tendencies" but she doesn't allow for an individual to change their tendency depending on context. The rest of the book (well, the rest of the first half of the book) follows in the same vein--yet more categories to put yourself into, with obvious, banal results when she tries out new habits for herself.
The straw that broke the camels back for me was a parenthetical aside at the end of a paragraph in which she mentions talking about habits with a friend: "(I love to throw in research. It's more convincing to people if I cite a study.)"
It's the entitled, self-satisfied, manipulative way that she says all this that really gets under my skin. She is not an everywoman! She is a smug, privileged elitist who peddles her advice in memoir form to the masses who are too ignorant to read the real science for themselves!Read more ›
