2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT 4dr Crew Cab (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I purchased a V6 XLT 2X4 in 2010 used from a dealer with 56K, I am now at about 87K. Issues I've experienced: one rear wheel bearing went bad, replaced for about $75 doing the work myself, also had check engine light for engine under-heating, replaced stuck open thermostat myself and turned off the light with my code reader - good to go. I've put in new rear brake pads only, spark plugs, I keep the engine happy with full synthetic. I drive to NY from FL yearly, gone up and back twice (over 2400 miles each trip) and have had no problems. I can TOW my 25' cuddy boat @ 4K lbs and my 18' boat @ around 2500 - can pull the 18' out of the water, haven't tried with the 25' and I doubt I will.
My sport trac came with the fiberglass tonneau cover which I like, I can lock things in the back and not worry about it. The storage in the back is fine, I keep my hitch and jump cables in the one you need to climb into the back of the bed to reach and then tie downs in the other smaller ones. It's very roomy and comfortable inside - I drive to NY with my wife, 2 children-one of them in a car seat, and my dog all in the back seat. I loaded the back bed to the brink with my stuff from NY and drove all the way to FL with no problems.
I wish Ford would have put a pull handle (putting it nicely) on the drivers side, especially when trying to climb in it. There is one on the passenger side only. Also some kind of improvement with the gas cap; I have to lube mine I guess because it doesn't rotate on the plastic ring that holds it to the truck. My rear turn signal bulbs keep dying for some reason, went through 2 already, never replaced the front signals. When I got the truck the center console cover latch broke & my seat back (arch) adjusting knob never worked since I got it. You also have to get used to the transmission.
Just purchased a 2007 Sport Trac and it looks good but the gas mileage leaves something to be desired. It is comfortable and I like the fact that the rear seat can seat adults or fold down for the dogs. The little cubbyholes in the bed seem to be pretty useless. One is unreachable unless I climb into the bed of the truck. The other two aren't even deep enough to hold a bottle of oil upright. I can keep bungee cords in one. I just drove it four hours straight with no discomfort so it fits me pretty good. 5'7 female. The Gas tank is on the wrong side for the USA and the interior door handle is inconvenient.
I really like the fact that the rear seats fold down. The dogs don't shed all over the rear seat and I can put a quilt on the flat back easier so it is easier to protect from dirty paws or carsickness. UGH!
GAS MILEAGE! I get 14/18 mpg.. I keep thinking about my 10 yr old 4 cyl S10 that gets 19/24 mpg. Shouldn't the car makers be able to make a decent sized vehicle that gets 20 + mpg with regularity? Who put the gas tank on the right side? In the USA we drive on the right and need the tank on the left
My lease is finally over! I really enjoyed this wanna be truck, too bad the gas mileage was not great. 16 mpg on a good week of city driving. I wish the new 2009 was out but not at the dealer yet. Two things need to improve, the gas mileage and the small compartments in the bed should be waterproof and with locks of some kind. I am really gonna miss this one.
Really smooth ride and very roomy inside.
Gas mileage, locks on the bed compartments, somewhere to plug in my mp3 player.
I use mine daily in the constuction industry. I travel a lot and commute daily around the Dallas area for projects. Overall, the truck is great. Excellent acceleration, interior room, decent trunk space & adequate towing. It is highly functional for the American family. Plenty of room for the kids in the cab & space in the trunk to bring stuff home from Home Depot. Lumbar support is nonexistant, as long trips can be brutal on the lower back.
PosiTrac for rear wheels. Exterior looks rugged and contemporary.
Lumbar support.
I have had my Sport Trac for over a year now, so I thought I would provide an updated review. I am still a big fan of this truck. Handling and comfort are great. It feels stable in all conditions I am 6'7" 250 lbs and I have plenty of room which is great because I am in the truck most of the day. The fold flat rear seats provide me a "mobile office" platform, yet the open bed allows for the occassional bulkier item. I have 16,000 miles and fuel economy hovers at 20 in mixed driving. I have had no issues, nothing falling off or not working. Everyone I know loves my truck, and 3 friends have actually got one after seeing mine. I did extensive research before buying, and I am very happy.
Sliding rear window, comfort, handling
Storage bins are small and cannot be used for much--I have given up on them. Seat fabric is hard to keep clean and is showing some wear

Schaefer Wants Gonzalez-Russell Jr Next If No Mares
By Luis Sandoval
Jhonny Gonzalez pulled off one of the bigger upsets of the year as he took out Abner Mares in just one round as he recaptured a world title at Featherweight and resurrected his career in the process. While most fans are still buzzing about the shocking victory, there are already talks of who Jhonny Gonzalez will fight next.
Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer revealed that there is indeed a rematch clause and Golden Boy holds three option fights on Gonzalez as well. If an immediate rematch doesn't take place with Mares and Gonzalez, Schaefer told BoxingScene and Mark Ortega he already has the perfect opponent in mind.
"Oh yeah, I have the perfect opponent; a big fight. Gary Russell Jr. He's ready, he's ready. Gary Russell Jr is ready. Gary Russell wants a big fight and that's a big fight. I would love to make that fight" said Schaefer.
Russell was recently on BoxingScene Radio where he said he felt Mares did not possess the skills to beat him and that he was ready to fight for a title. While the opportunity may not necessarily come against Mares now, Gonzalez is there and it's a fight Schaefer will try to make before the end of the year if possible. There are plenty of options for Golden Boy to explore.
"Maybe November or December. We'll see when Jhonny wants to fight. We'll talk to his promoter. As I said we have three controlling options so that is definitely a fight we would love to do but if Abner comes and says let's go straight back to the rematch then we'll do that. So we'll have to see but we have Leo [Santa Cruz] there as well so there are some interesting possibilities" Schaefer would say.
Gonzalez expressed he is ready and willing to take on anyone next and with Golden Boy controlling his next few bouts, he won't have much of a choice.

Marc Cashman Shares How You Can Give Depth to Words
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
August 27, 2008
Today I'm pleased to present a good friend of mine, Marc Cashman, and some wonderful words he jotted down for you as a companion to this week's episode (#62) of Voice Over Experts.
Some of you may have heard Marc lecture a few weeks ago in Los Angeles, and for those of you who did, you know that Marc Cashman is a wonderful teacher and excellent orator.
To hear Marc's podcast (and previous podcasts), be sure to subscribe to the Voice Over Experts podcast to receive it when it becomes available.
Here's a taste of what you'll hear. Enjoy!
Giving Depth to Words
By Marc Cashman
I™ve been struck many times, while listening to Radio or TV commercials, various forms of narration or in the classes I teach, how many voice actors deliver their words with awesome articulation and precise projection, but detached delivery. They™re quite adept at lifting the words off the page effortlessly, but fail to take the opportunity to color words or phrases with the appropriate attitude or emotion. They sometimes forget to use their acting abilities to give depth to the words they speak.
In voice acting, all our emotions and attitudes come through our voice.
People can™t see our eyes or our body language like they can on stage or in film. The slightest nuance in the tone of our voice can convey myriad feelings; non-verbal utterances can convey even more. But there are so many places in copy where we can really give the words the depth they need by feeling the words we™re saying and putting emotionality into them.
An example that came up in one of my classes occurred when we were working on a spot for a regional hospital, and one word that kept popping up was œhope.
Ask yourself: what does hope sound like?
When you say the word just by itself, out of context, you tend to naturally say it on a down note. Hope. One word, spoken with a period after it. But think about what hope means. Hope means to cherish a desire with anticipation, to wish for something, with some amount of expectation. It could be something you long for that™s realistic or unrealistic. It™s an attitude or feeling that could be attainable. And in the context of a hospital, and the feelings it evokes in potentially life-threatening situations, it™s a word with a very powerful meaning.
So in this context, hope is a word we need to lift, and the attitude is a positive one. When we say this word, we need to have hope in our heart in order to have hope in our voice. Because people can hear if we™re being sincere when we say this word or any word, for that matter. Of course, we could say œhope in a sarcastic way, a mean way, a forlorn or hopeless way. But in a spot or narration for a hospital, we have to infuse the word œhope with a positive attitude, with compassion and complete sincerity.
On the other end of the spectrum, I hear the word œpain a lot in copy, and I hear it thrown away. But this is another opportunity to infuse a word with emotion. When you™re talking about pain, and you™re a sympathetic or empathetic person, when you say the word œpain you should be wincing a bit. A listener can hear it in your voice.
And here™s a perfect example of how the sound of one word can provoke an emotional response:
How many times have you called someone you know, and just by the tone of one word they use to answer the phone"hello"you can tell if something™s amiss. It will provoke you to either say, œHi, how™re ya doin™? or œAre you okay? So if one word can get that kind of response, just think of how thousands of your other spoken words and phrases are perceived.
The Sky is the Limit
There are innumerable words that you can color and give depth to whenever you come across them. These words are loaded with attitudes and emotions. Don™t throw away the opportunity to infuse these words with the appropriate color, feeling and attitude.
When you say the word œexcitement or œexciting, deliver it with an exclamation point! (An exclamation point is the only punctuation mark I know that literally connotes an emotion"excitement!) When you talk about how a particular client cares, œcare should be delivered with concern and compassion. Whether they™re nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs, don™t throw these words away!
For voice actors, words are easy to say and lift off the page effortlessly, but the listener needs to hear some thought and feeling behind those words. When you really start thinking about them, words are easy to bring to life when you say them with the appropriate feeling or attitude.
Here are just a few examples:
Friendly, elegant, patriotic, confident, sultry, scary, stiff, sensual, helpful, funny, concern, evil, tiring, appetizing, sad, cautionary, breathless, wacky, tough, delicious, carefree, perky, nervous, stuffy, mellow, heroic, magical, cute, bored, sly, exciting.
In my classes, I have my students say these (and many other) words with their accompanying meaning (and sound), and also have them say them with their opposite meaning (and sound). It™s funny to say œfriendly in an angry tone. It™s funny to say œconfident in a wimpy way! And when you do this exercise, it becomes clear that, as voice actors, when we speak, we™re painting a picture for the listener, compensating for the fact that they can™t literally see us saying what we™re saying.
Making it Work
A lot of the copy you get as a voice actor will not be chock-a-block with words and phrases that you™ll be able to get behind emotionally. There™s no emotional hook in œ2.9% APR financing for 60 months on all vehicles in stock.
But the next time you do get some copy to perform that has any kind of emotional words or phrases or theme, sit with those words for a minute. Feel the emotion behind the copy. Think about how you would feel, how someone you loved (or something, like a pet) would feel, and then deliver it with a newfound depth of feeling.
I guarantee you that you™ll start performing two-dimensional words on a page in three dimensions.

Hi Marc and Stephanie - Thank you for this excellent mini class. Marc is a wonderful talent and coach and I plan to put this lesson to work immediately. Thank you again Stephanie for bringing us the wisdom of one of our best and brightest and thank you Marc for sharing it here. Best wishes -Posted by:
I loved this mail...
your tips are absolutely perfect for my line of VO work which requires me to be so versatile sometimes, its hard not so sound formulaic.
Thanks for the supportive mails!
Thanks Marc! Loved reviewing your list of words...a great way to practice emotions!!Posted by:
True as can be and always a great reminder!Posted by:
Dear Marc,
A most excellent "freeby" you've given.
I was especially drawn into the word "Hope" since I do a lot of hospitals, med centers, etc.
To add another layer of nuance to that word, one has to not only infuse the word with a true sense of "Hope" but also be mindful of the intended audience...IE is this a person who has cancer and needs to know it's all gonna work out fine? Is this a person who has just been diagnosed and is probably afraid? Of course the surrounding copy and or the director will make some of those choices for you in the session but it sure helps to bring those elements to the audition, so they know you can pull it off.
Thanks again Marc!
Break a lip ya'll!
DC Goode
Thanks so much for this post. I did hear the lecture Marc gave at VOICE 2008 and thought very highly of him not only as very erudite but as a talented presenter. This piece about making words come alive was just splendid...I actually read it out loud to myself and found how naturally it comes to speak those words with emotion, attitude and even some with a smile! Thank you again for passing it on.

Stephanie and Marc,
Wonderful material here. Thank you. (Marc, you had me at "hello.")
Be well,
This is great! I am in the voicing industry since 2003 but never come across something so good.
From now on i'll try to incorporate the tips given by you.
Thanks a lot Marc for sharing this insight with us.
Hoping to read some more advice from you!

Vermonters feel shocks from minor Canadian quakeThe Associated Press | October 11,2012BURLINGTON People in northern Vermont were awakened early Wednesday by a minor earthquake that struck in Canada more than 100 miles away.
The temblor was reported near Montreal at 12:19 a.m., causing some buildings to rumble for a few seconds and sending people scurrying briefly from their houses. There were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage.
People in Vermont took to Facebook and Twitter to report they could feel the quakes shocks as far away as Montpelier and Bristol.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 3.9.
The earthquake occurred in the Western Quebec Seismic Zone, where people have felt small earthquakes and suffered damage from larger ones for three centuries, the USGS said.
The two largest damaging earthquakes in that zone took place in 1935 at the northwestern end of the zone and in 1732 in the southeastern end of the zone, where a 6.2 magnitude quake caused significant damage in Montreal.
Earthquakes cause damage in the zone about once a decade. Smaller earthquakes are felt three or four times a year, the USGS said.
The last significant earthquake to affect Vermont was on June 24, 2010. The 5.0 magnitude quake was centered near the Quebec-Ontario border and felt as far away as Cleveland.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

Awesome. Great app. Lots of updates, solid programming. If you can set up the server then you know what you're going to need from the reader. Buy the key and kick the developer some money. He deserves it!
Great app Works great with TT-RSS on my VPS. App is improving greatly over time.
Sudden close I have updated to the latest version but now I face some serious problem. Half way reading in the app, it suddenly close. Reopening the app start all over again.
Still the best self-hosted RSS
Many issues Since a month or so, refreshing unread feeds takes minutes and the app pop ups back to front while using other apps. There are rendering issues in and around the article webview. I'd be glad to help debugging... Still love it though

He may have put it a bit clumsily, as if he were scripting a party political broadcast by UKIP, but you could see Jack Wilshere's point when he said the England football team should solely selected from the English.
[LINK - Wilshere wants England to stay English]
Because the FA's pursuit of Adnan Januzaj, in the sad hope that he might pledge himself to the Three Lion cause, is not merely cynical. It is actually pathetic.
International football is in enough of a crisis condition with the absurdity of the 2022 Qatar World Cup that it should not be blurring the boundaries of its purpose. Sure, the international rules suggest that a player can turn out for a country once he has lived there for five years. But if Januzaj slips on a white shirt, the whole point of the international game would be utterly undermined.
There is enough of this stuff going on in other sports. So why would the FA want their representative team to look like the England cricket side?
And to be fair to Kevin Pietersen, a man whose embrace of England was largely motivated by the opportunities it gave for more enhanced commercial prominence, at least he has English antecedents. Januzaj was born in Belgium of parents who hail from Kosovo. He came to England at the age of 16 to further his footballing career. He has absolutely no connection with the country beyond it being the place where he makes his soon-to-be-greatly-enhanced living.
Where should football draw the line? Only a fool would suggest that only those born in this country could turn out for England. That would have precluded Terry Butcher, for instance, wearing the white shirt because he was born in Singapore, where his parents happened to be working at the time. And no-one could suggest that Butcher was not prepared to shed blood for the national cause.
The world has changed from when internationals were first played, boundaries are more fluid, frontiers more elastic. It might be thought if Mo Farah won gold medals for Britain last summer when he was born in Somalia, then why can't Januzaj do his bit for the English cause?
Farah's case, however, was different. He came to this country when he was eight years old and learned his sport here. In the same way Januzaj's contemporaries like Saido Berahino, Nathaniel Chalobah and Wilfried Zaha learned their football in England, Farah only became an international sportsman because he came here in the first place.
Januzaj was actively brought to this country because he was already an outstanding talent. At 16, Manchester United signed him from Anderlecht; Berahino came to England aged two.
There is a substantial difference. One is a product of the same system that developed Paul Gascoigne, John Barnes and Paul Ince. The other is from the one that made Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany and Marouane Fellaini.
International football is not the Champions League. You can't simply sign up those who you think will best promote your cause. This isn't rugby union. There has to be some sort of sense it is representative – of a place, a population, a system.
If the game is to have a jot of remaining point, then Zaha, it seems to me, is entitled to make himself available for England in a way his club mate Januzaj isn't. A line has to be drawn.
There are 60 million people in this country. Surely the FA has the wherewithal to find 11 of us good enough to wear their shirt without trying to purloin those who belong to someone else.
Besides, the player himself has made absolutely no indication that he has any ambition to play for England. An intriguing, driven, intelligent individual, he has so far resisted all claims on him to play internationally. The Belgians – not exactly short of talent – rate him so highly they have offered him the chance of selection to the first team immediately. He has turned them down, as he has done at every stage of his career.
Tellingly the reason he gives is not that he wants to play for someone else – Albania, for instance, or even Turkey, who have a claim through his mother's heritage, and certainly not England – but that he wants to concentrate on his club game.
Now is not the time for him to even think about playing internationally, he says. For anyone.
That, in a sense, should be the thing that most concerns the FA. Not that the brightest young talent in the country is resisting their overtures, but that he considers international representation secondary to progressing in the club game.
And you can see his point. Zaha already has two England caps, but they haven't done him much good in his day job: currently he can't buy a place on the Manchester United bench.

My Ridiculous Experience With U-Haul
I will never do business with U-Haul again and I will advise all my friends, family, and anyone who asks to avoid this company at all costs. U-Haul has the worst reputation on the internet of the major moving and storage companies and I was able to experience this first-hand. Unfortunately, U-Haul also has the only nation-wide small moving trailer option. I will BUY a small trailer if I ever need one and then sell it when I'm done before I'll rent from U-Haul again.
My pre-move activities with U-Haul and my eventual move went fairly well, save for the one-inch-wide hole in the ceiling of the single-axle trailer I had to duct tape over before my move. The hole could have let rain pour in causing serious damage to my belongings had I not spotted it. Of course U-Haul's disclaimer says the trucks and trailers are water-resistant, not waterproof and that U-Haul is not responsible for any damage caused to my stuff by leaks. Luckily, my two-day trek from South Florida to the Midwest was blue skies all the way.
As part of my cross-country move, I was given a free month of storage in a 5x8 storage unit at my destination.
June 7, 2006: I arrived at the Springdale, Arkansas U-Haul center. I was offered my choice of various 5x8 or 5x10 standard or climate-controlled storage units. I chose a 5x10 climate-controlled unit. I don't remember if I had to pay the difference in price or if U-Haul upgraded me for free - either way, everything was fine so-far, monetarily.
However, the climate-control was currently on the fritz so there was no air-conditioning or circulation inside the storage facility. I would guess that the warehouse, including my second-level storage unit, was at around 85 - 95 degrees. Note: At this time, the published price of the 5x10 climate-controlled unit was $29.95 plus tax.
The trouble started on the second month of my storage unit rental.
July 3, 2006: I called the Springdale U-Haul facility to find out what the total of my next payment would be and when it was due. I was told that the price was $38.27 ($34.95 plus $3.32 tax) - not $29.95 plus tax. I disputed this and said that the price on the flyer that I had picked up off their counter from the big stack of flyers showed $29.95 plus tax.
I was then told that the $29.95 was an "introductory" price and that now it was $34.95 plus tax. I said there was nothing on the flyer that indicated "introductory" prices; that the flyer appeared to be a standard storage unit price/location chart. "Introductory" price?! I didn't buy it but I didn't argue any further since it wasn't a huge price difference and moving/storage companies change their prices constantly.
Unfortunately, I didn't think to check for the "non-introductory-price" flyers the next time I went to the facility. I was told the payment was due on July 8, which I paid by electronic check. This paid me up through August 7.
Shortly thereafter, I received a letter from the Springdale U-Haul facility notifying me that my storage unit rate would increase to $39.95 plus tax, effective July 28.
July 27, 2006: I again contacted U-Haul to find out what my total would be for the next month (August). I believe the name of the person I spoke with was "Chris." Chris told me the price would be $34.95 plus $3.32 tax. I argued that this was the "old" price and that I had received a notice from them stating that the new price was supposed to be $39.95 plus tax. Chris INSISTED "the computer says you owe $38.27 by August 8" and that he new nothing about a price increase notice. He said I should pay the $38.27. I paid that amount by electronic check.
The next time I went to access my storage unit, my access card had been disabled. I went to the counter and spoke with a young black girl (didn't get her name) who said I still owed $5.48 on my last bill and now also a $15 late fee (late notices were on their way to me in the mail; I just had not received them yet).
I explained to her that I had received a rate increase notice but when I called to find out the total payment due, I was told to pay the "old" price. She reactivated my card so I could get into my unit but said I would have to talk to a manager about the price discrepancy and the late fee. ($5.48 is the difference in price of the "new" amount, $39.95 + $3.80 tax, and the "old" amount, $34.95 + $3.32 tax.)
Mid-August: I received a notice from Springdale U-Haul stating that they still had not received my payment as of August 8 and that a late fee of $15 had been assessed. Apparently my electronic check (which is mailed from my bank if the intended recipient does not have the capability to receive an electronic funds transfer) had not arrived on time. Ok, my fault.
A few days later, I received another notice stating that U-Haul had received the payment but it was $5.48 short.
August 22, 2006: I again went to get some things from my storage unit and found it LOCKED by U-Haul. I went to the counter and explained the unit price discrepancy to Michelle, the store manager. She apparently believed me (barely) about calling and being given the wrong price for August but said they did not have an employee named "Chris" (hence my "barely" comment).
I said I was not 100% positive about the employee's name as the conversation was a while ago and I didn't write his name down. Michelle agreed to waive the late fee but said I owed $43.75! - not the remaining balance of $5.48. At this point I was quite annoyed and it probably showed. I believe this made her a little nervous and consequently, a little confused. I continued to try to explain that I only owed $5.48 because I had already paid $38.27 of the August bill ($43.75 - $38.27 = $5.48). This was all shown clearly in the second late notice I had received.
We went back and forth about this for a few minutes and our discussion became a little more heated. Finally, frustrated that she wasn't "getting it," I asked how much I needed to pay to bring my account up to date and get into my storage unit (I'd just bring the notice in later and show her the math!). She said $43.75. I paid it with two $20s and a $10; she gave me back $6.25 in change. She had me sign the receipt upon which I also wrote "will dispute" and asked for a copy.
We then went to unlock my storage unit. She fumbled with the lock for a minute or so but apparently did not have the right key. Hearing what sounded like someone else walking around in the warehouse, she yelled "CHRIS! ARE YOU IN HERE?" (she needed his help with the lock) WHAT? Didn't she say there was no "Chris" employed there? I said nothing.
August 25, 2006: I removed all my belongings from my U-Haul storage unit.
August 28, 2006: I took my late notice (the one showing I still owed $5.48) and my 8/22 receipt back to U-Haul to clear things up and get back the $38.27 owed to me. I had intended to talk to David Pitchford, the manager whose name was on all the notices I had received.
Michelle informed me however, that she was now the manager and Mr. Pitchford no longer worked there. Chris, with his nametag on his shirt, was standing right next to her. I showed Michelle the late notice along with my math in red ink showing that they owed me $38.27. She barely glanced at it before stating that she owed me $5.48 that I had "overpaid." Huh? Now it seems I had made the mistake.
She went on to explain that I was paid up through September (through October 7 actually). This was an interesting development. Things started to get heated again. I immediately said, "I did NOT pay for September and never had any intention of paying for September. I came in on 8/22 to pay the amount I still owed for August and that was it. You charged me $43.75 when I only owed $5.48. I want the $38.27 you owe me." She said she could not refund any money until I vacated the unit.
Now I was really steamed. I asked, "Why not?! Even if I were going to pay for September, the payment is not due until Sept. 8." She said that was the policy or gave some other non-answer - I don't remember. I said then let's do it; I'm vacating the unit right now. That surprised her. She wasn't expecting me to have already moved all my stuff out. She had one of the employees check the unit with me to be sure all my possessions were out. She then refunded me $43.75!
Final result: I came out $5.48 ahead because Michelle screwed up while trying to cover-up her mistake.
I suspect Michelle discovered her mistake at the end of the day on August 22 after finding her cash register didn't match her receipts or she might have just gone back over my account more carefully after I left. However she figured it out, instead of owning up to her mistake, she tried to act like it was my mistake. At first, I believe Michelle was just confused, but after discovering her mistake, she lied to conceal it. This was despicable behavior, especially for a manager.
On move-in day, the U-Haul facility's AC was not working so I had to move my stuff into a very hot and humid warehouse that had no air-circulation whatsoever. I had the storage unit for approximately three months and the price increased twice. I placed two phone calls to find out the total price and date due for each of the additional months - call
1: I was given a price that was higher than the one shown on the current price chart and the explanation for the discrepancy was suspicious; call
2: I was given completely false information which resulted in me under-paying my bill and incurring a late fee. I was notified by mail that I had under-paid my August bill and still owed $5.48. When I went to pay this amount, Michelle, the manager, said I instead owed $43.75. I paid this with the caveat that I would dispute it later as I needed to get into my storage unit immediately.
Michelle later discovered her mistake and tried to cover it up by telling me I had paid up through September (even though this did not add up because she was still short the $5.48). She arbitrarily refused to refund the money owed to me until I vacated the storage unit. I ended the contract immediately and due to her shenanigans, Michelle mistakenly refunded me $43.75 instead of the $38.27 I was owed.
As you can see, my problem was not so much with the facilities, or equipment at U-Haul, it was with a particular employee. How can I do business with a moving/storage company if I have to worry about having my possessions impounded or sold at auction due to bad accounting or dishonest/unethical employees?

"Honduran Bay Islands Within Easy Reach of Mainland" Cayos Cochinos by atufft
Cayos Cochinos Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 38 photos
Most of the Honduran Bay Island reputation isn't for the islands themselves, but for the coral reefs that are within easy dive reach. Most of these islands are large flat sandbars studded with palm trees. The forested and rocky Cayos Cochinos are an exception to this pattern, not only providing a beautiful backdrop to the snorkeling experience, but also providing a complex land eco-system that is fully protected by the Honduran national park system.
Access to Cayos Cochinos is limited, and visiting tourists are required to watch a video about the preservation of the islands and coral reefs.

Consol Energy Taps Methane For Carbon Credits
Consol Energy will become the second coal miner to develop a methane capture and abatement system in the U.S., according to a company press release and news reports.
A report in the Wall Street Journal quoted Consol's vice president of research and development Steve Winburg as saying the driving force behind the project was its potential to allow Consol to generate carbon credits it can sell. The carbon offset credits generated from the VAM oxidation project at the McElroy Mine will be registered with the Climate Action Reserve, a certification program that approved a protocol for coal mine methane projects in 2009.
The project will be located at the company's McElroy Mine in West Virgina and is being developed jointly alongside the Verdeo Group, according the press release. The Journal reported that the price tag for the project will come to $5 million.
The project utilizes regenerative thermal oxidation (RTO) technology to destroy methane that vents from coal mine shafts, known as ventilation air methane (VAM). Methane, which is 21 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, is found in coal mines, and must be vented above ground before it can build up to dangerous levels. The RTO technology oxidizes methane into carbon dioxide and water vapor. According to a WVNS report, the methane destroyed by the project will account for 1 percent of all the VAM in the U.S.
According to the Journal, Walter Energy, another coal producer, is using a similar technology at a mine in Alabama, and is also selling its carbon credits through the Climate Action Reserve. The strategy follows other coal mines that have been able to sell carbon credits by either abating their use or, as one mine in Poland has done, repurpose it as heating fuel. The University of New Hampshire was also able to sell carbon credits after using methane from a landfill to fuel a cogeneration project.
Consol also recently installed a water filtration system at its Oakwood, VA mine, that will reduce freshwater demand.
The project is expected to become operational in the second quarter of 2011, according to the company.
Reader Comments
Why don't they vent the methane into fuel cells and create electricity at the same time…creating more credits?
Darn good question Bill. Also, is there a factory nearby that they could pipe the methane to for use in a boiler? The City of Baltimore is piping methane from a landfill to a Coast Guard facility that is about a mile away.

Updates to dorms, including more community spaces, on the horizon
By Zach Weinstein
Scarlet Staff
Change may be coming to Clark over the summer but in some ways be a return to certain Clark roots. Last month, President Angel announced a slew of planned projects to the Clark campus and the surrounding area via a campus wide email.
One of the planned projects is "building [a] connector that houses lounges and other community spaces to Sanford and Johnson during the summer of 2012, with a comparable project for Hughes and Dana during the summer of 2013."
One of the goals of this renovation is to create a community space that fosters social life and creates additional study spaces for these dorms. A piece of Clark's history provided some of the inspiration for this project.
There used to be an abundance of such spaces; the Little Center for Johnson and Sanford, and Dana Commons for Dana and Hughes. Executive Vice President Jim Collins, the coordinator for these projects, said, "Over time we've gotten away from that." This project would be a way of renewing some of the community spaces on campus as has already started to happen with the renovations of Bullock and Wright Halls. It is likely that this effort would be well received by students as the planning process originated largely out of discussions with R.A.s and feedback from student surveys.
However, among students, reactions to the announced dorm renovations are mixed. Chief among the concerns was whether this was truly the best use of Clark resources. Ben Gardner '12, had a skeptical attitude regarding the renovations, "As a part of the sustainability community on campus I'm unsure if this is the best allotment of resources for the university to reach their climate action plan [of being carbon neutral by 2030]. I feel like they're taking a lot of easy solutions and postponing some of the larger ones, so if money could have been going to that then…in redoing the dorms if they could fix the heating as the heating sensors make no sense, which is something that students care about that would work towards climate sustainability." Similar sustainability issues were brought up by other students who highlighted the issue that hall lights in these dorms are unable to be switched off. Despite these concerns, a number of possible benefits were highlighted by students including increased accessibility of the campus due to the proliferation of elevators, benefits to social life if Bullock and Wright hall are models to judge by, and a sense of fairness. As Ben pointed out, "it might also be good in terms of equity. I know some people were thinking that the renovations to the freshman dorms were just for drawing in new students instead of for the student population as a whole."
Some students have decided to take more of a wait and see approach, such as Lauren Rosenberg '13. When commenting on what she thought of the upcoming changes she said, "in terms of making campus more [handicapped] accessible, if that's part of their plan, it'd be nice. It would be important to make the dorms better by improving issues with the lights in the halls that cannot be shut off which is a big waste. If they're putting in lots of money for little change then I don't know."
Some of these issues were addressed by Collins. He mentioned that they hoped to be able to complete some improvements to the interiors of the buildings but it is uncertain as to what these will specifically be. He touched on the gloomy lighting of the halls and generally on how energy efficiency would be improved. One specific example that he mentioned is replacing the steam lines that run to the dorms, as new lines will be more efficient. He also described some of the ways that efficiency issues had already been addressed, like the high efficiency lighting now in place. He believed that they would not change the heating system as he stated that the general design of the buildings were relatively efficient in that regard.
Collins was careful to point out that nothing was final, despite the emailed statement, and that they were still in the last stages of the planning process which includes consulting with the architect and evaluating designs and cost. Another important factor that is being considered is the tight time frame; Certificates of Occupancy were obtained for the newly refinished Bullock and Wright Halls just 3 days before the move in date for the 2010 first year class. He also described how the project is funded, "…we borrowed from a tax exempt bond issue which we'll need to pay back. Really it's room and board money. We're planning on a 3% increase to room and board, which will include debt service. There's always a debt service available, as was the case with Bullock, Wright and Blackstone. It's not like we're going to be jumping room and board from 4k to 5k." It should be noted that the increase in room and board was a planned increase, separate from the decision to renovate.
No one can tell what the end result will be, especially as nothing has been finalized, but it seems likely that Johnson and Sanford may look rather different come next fall.

|Isle of Wight
|By Arrangement with Steward
Along the east side of the Blackwater River, just downstream from the village of Zuni, is one of Virginia's finest old growth loblolly pine and turkey oak woodlands. The pines are impressive in age and stature, with the oldest cohort originating at the end of the Civil War and some individuals reaching three feet in diameter and 100 feet tall. This Pine/Scrub Oak Sandhill community supports a number of plant species that are rare in Virginia including Plukenet's Flatsedge (Cyperus plukenetii), Sandy-woods Chaffhead (Carphephorus bellidifolius and Viperina (Zornia bracteata). Moist to wet swales between the dry sandhills are flanked by transition zones - ecotones - that are home to a great diversity of wildflowers. Among many, there can be found orchids, trilliums, bellworts and lilies. These herbaceous plants are components of a woodland community dependent on frequent fires.
Also located at Antioch Pines are a small number of remnant old longleaf pines that comprise among the last vestiges of the northern range extent of the historic Longleaf Pine Ecosystem. Plant material (scions) from these few mature longleaf are being used by the VA Department of Forestry in developing a grafted native Virginia longleaf seed orchard. Seed from this orchard will be used for future longleaf pine reforestation efforts in the Commonwealth.
To date, about 250 acres of young, former industrial loblolly pine plantations at Antioch Pines have been restored to young longleaf pine communities using a combination of tree removal, prescribed burning and planting with containerized, northern-range "native" longleaf pine seedlings produced from seeds collected at DCR's South Quay Sandhills Natural Area Preserve.
Antioch Pines is contiguous with and mostly surrounds Old Dominion University's Blackwater Ecological Preserve, which is managed in partnership with DCR.
This preserve has no public access facilities.
Also, part or all of the preserve may be periodically closed for resource protection or prescribed burning activities. Please call before visiting.

Greg: According to the DHS Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, green cards were issued to 832,014 people Obama allowed into the country from Muslim-majority countries from 2009-2014! According to the census data published by the Center for Immigration Studies, the foreign-born/illegals/refugees population of the United States hit a record high of 42.4 million in July 2014!!! There are probably 20 to 30 million illegals in America today and not the 11 million illegals Obama and the Obama administration has been lying to us about! 87% of illegals families and 71% of all illegals receive taxpayer funded benefits/entitlements costing the taxpayers $200 to $300 billion a year! In 2014 illegals received on average $1,200 plus a year more in welfare payments than American citizens on welfare! While you work, pay taxes and struggle to financially take care of your children you are paying for these illegal criminals because of Obama and the Congressional Democrats! Vote for Trump and vote all Congressional Democrats out of office in 2016!

This company is very deceitful, they have their ad on Jobs.com announcing Hiring for Airline Jobs! They give their phone number to call to get further instructions for applying. Voicemail gives insrtuctions for various jobs airlines hiring for then says to send $35 for the processing fee & you'll be mailed a packet to complete. THIS IS A SCAM...I never received packet!!!
