As you navigate the financial world, you'll most likely deal with a wide array of investment choices, constantly changing tax laws, estate-planning issues and other areas. And then, to make things even more complex, you'll have to consider your own risk tolerance, time horizon and individual goals. If you're like most people, you don't have the time and expertise to create, monitor and adjust your investment strategy by yourself, so you'll need to get some help. But how can you choose a financial professional who is right for you?

Univercell-Biosolutions negotiated a worldwide nonexclusive license to an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology developed by iPS Academia Japan, an affiliate of Kyoto University. The firms expect this initial agreement will be followed by future collaborations.
Univercell is focused on the development of stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes for use by the pharma and biotech industries in drug development. The firm claims its own technology allows it to isolate a population of cells comprising over 99% precardiomyocytes, overcoming what has to date been a bottleneck in terms of obtaining sufficiently enriched populations of cardiac cells. The technique is based on a sorting of early cardiovascular progenitors using membrane-specific antigen recognition. Univercell believes that combining this technology with iPS Academia's means it will be able to produce iPSC-based cardiac cells at a large scale, so avoiding the need to negotiate the complex regulatory pathway needed for embryonic stem cell-based products.
"The UB solution is already validated and operational using iPS Academia technology, and the two technologies together open new avenues to bring to the market large scale production of human cardiomyocytes in sufficient volume and quality to satisfy the needs of the pharmaceutical industry," notes Guillaume Costecalde, Univercell's chairman and CEO. "We see this as an exceptional scientific and market opportunity and an important plank in our joint strategy to bring iPSC technology to industry worldwide."
iPS Academia was established in June 2008 to manage patents and other IP generated and held by Kyoto University and other universities in the field of iPSC technologies.

This year's Rodeo Rockstar competition was, as its name suggests, a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n' roll.
Singer-songwriter Tori McClure, 18, of Tomball and grrrl-powered sister duo Starflight Rocks (Molly, 12, and Zoe Flores, 13, from Rosenberg were crowned champs Thursday in front of a large, enthusiastic crowd at the Kids Country Stage on the carnival grounds. Contestants were split into two age groups, 6-15 and 16-21.
McClure clinched her win with original song "Kiss My Quick" and a quirky vocal that could work well in several genres. She performs around town and is working on an EP.
Starflight Rocks returned to the competition after placing second last year in the junior division. The sisters tore through a spirited rendition of Grace Potter's "Paris (Ooh La La)." Imagine the punk spirit of the Runaways for the Nick Jr. set.
Both winners earned $500 and a RodeoHouston belt buckle. Second and third placers also earn cash prizes.
More than 215,000 public votes were cast on almost 100 video entries to determine the top 20 via the RodeoHouston website and Facebook page. Three judges, including myself, Houston Press assistant music editor Craig Hlavaty and RodeoHouston concert director Phil Nudelman, determined the eventual winners.
Among the many standouts were 7-year-old Jon Wesley Hopkins, who strummed guitar and sang Taylor Swift's "Mean;" a truly gifted London Lawhon, who confidently belted Alicia Keys' "Girl on Fire;" cute-and-country Shelby Thornton; and former "American Idol" hopeful Alisha Pace.

HC reserves order on PIL challenging Bharat Ratna to Sachin
By PTI - LUCKNOW
Published: 25th November 2013 05:59 PM
Last Updated: 25th November 2013 05:59 PM
Allahabad High Court today reserved its decision on a petition challenging the awarding of Bharat Ratna to cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
After hearing the PIL filed by IPS officer Amitabh Thakur and social activist Nutan Thakur, the Lucknow bench comprising Justices Imtiyaz Murtaza and DK Upadhyay reserved the order.
The plea said Bharat Ratna being the country's highest civilian honour, must be given after utmost scrutiny.
Terming cricket as a "tamasha" (theatrics) which was taking the nation backwards, they claimed that conferring Sachin with the award is bound to give a message of "inaction and laxity".
They demanded that the award be given to other world-class sportsmen like Vishwanathan Anand, Milkha Singh or Geet Sethi, who gave better results in much more competitive sports than cricket.
Challenging the current method of awarding Bharat Ratna where the Prime Minister solely recommends names, they said it was completely against the concept of transparency and inclusiveness.
They sought setting up of a committee for these awards which would bestow Bharat Ratna to all truly great Indians including Ashoka, Akbar, Kalidas, Kabeer, Kamban.

Some ice talk to cool your July day.
Ray Emery hasn't played in a majority of his team's games since 2006-07 with Ottawa, which was three years before he underwent massive hip surgery.
No matter. The Flyers got a bargain when they signed Emery - the goalie who has made one of the most remarkable recoveries in recent NHL history - to a cap-friendly, one-year deal for $1.65 million.
Emery, who was at a news conference that also introduced Vincent Lecavalier and Mark Streit on Tuesday, is not only a different goalie from the one who played 29 games for the Flyers in 2009-10. He also seems like a different person.

Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.

Tom Brady Speaks About Knee Injury
Speaking for the first time publicly since going down Wednesday in pain during a joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady downplayed the severity of the injury to his left knee, which did not keep him sidelined from practice Thursday or from a game Friday, saying he "felt bad it caused more of a media story than it actually was."
"We were just trying to be smart," he told the "Dennis & Callahan Show" on WEEI sports radio in Boston on Monday morning.
The 36-year-old went down after colliding with one of his own linemen who had been pushed backward by Bucs defensive end Adrian Clayborn.

Hi Laural,
I don't have any advice, but I wanted to say hi, cause I'm about to start estradiol/progesterone/testosterone as of tonight. I'm nervous about how it will affect me. The doc thought my thyroid was low, but fortunately the tests came back that it was o.k. Today is the beginning of PB for me.
The only thing that comes to mind is that sometimes eating too little (depending on your workouts) can trigger your body to hold onto weight.


text: While supporters said the plan would be more effective against the potential threat from Iran, and generate more cooperation from Russia to combat Iran's combative government, Vitter disagreed. "This is definitely a step backward in foreign relations, and it sends a very troubling message to the rest of the world, " Vitter said. "We should be taking extraordinary measures to defend ourselves and our friends from this threat, not backtracking toward the Cold War and allowing Russia to assert its dominance over Eastern Europe."

Saugus resident, Alex Rogeo, a 23-year old female drag racer and business owner is trying to make her dream of national level NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) racing come true.
And Santa Clarita residents are in a unique position to help her in her quest.
Alex moved to Santa Clarita in 2008 to attend College of the Canyons and later Cal State Northridge majoring in theater.
So how does a theater major end up as a drag racer?
Alex has always loved cars and in 2010 a friend took her to Auto Club Dragway in Fontana, California for what is called a "test and tune." This is where the public can run their cars on the quarter mile drag strip. Alex had a lot of fun and her friend saw a real talent in her driving.
By 2011 Alex was drag racing her supercharged 2007 Dodge Magnum Hemi in real competition. Within eight weeks of her first race Alex earned No. 1 Qualifier at the Pacific Street Car Association's California Nationals at Fontana.
Ten weeks after qualifying, Alex won her first race at the West Coast Hot Rod Association's Shootout at Sundown at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in McFarland, California. Alex really stands out on and off the track.
When she's not racing, Alex can be found working on her car care products company, Liquid Glow, based here in Santa Clarita. She also finds time to be Senior Editor for MoparMax magazine, a monthly publication focused on Chrysler/Dodge vehicles and motorsports. And once a month Alex guest hosts SpeedSceneLive.com, an Internet TV show dedicated to sportsman racing with over 500,000 viewers in 149 countries.
At the end of 2013, Alex entered Champion Spark Plug's "Search for a Champion" contest. She, along with 391 other racers, submitted a two minute long video telling her story and sharing her passion with the viewer.
Alex was selected as one of fifteen finalists who won a $5,000 sponsorship each, and are now competing online for the grand prize, an additional $50,000 sponsorship from Champion.
"This contest that Champion puts on is just amazing," says Alex. "First of all, they're a great company that is really dedicated to sportsman racing. They invented the spark plug over 106 years ago and they're still the best plug that my team has found. The exposure that just being in the contest brings all of the entrants is terrific, and over the three months of the contest, Champion really gets to know the contestants."
Scoring in the contest is divided into three parts, 67 percent of a contestant's score is based on Champion's determination of the Best Depiction of a Champion and the Inspirational Quality of their video.
The remaining 33 percent of a contestant's score is from online voting by the public. This is where Santa Clarita residents can help one of their own.
Should Alex be chosen as the Grand Prize winner, she and her team will be able to build an NHRA national level, "Super Gas" race car to campaign in 2015.
To view the finalists' videos including Alex's, go to www.AlwaysAChampion.com, click on "Search for a Champion," then click on "Entry Gallery."
To vote for Alex, on her video's page, click the "Vote for Me!" button. You can vote once every day from now until the contest ends on March 23.
To learn more about Alex, you can visit her website, www.AlexTheCarGirl.com.
Editor's Note: As if being a female drag racer isn't enough, Alex is also a theater major who loves to sing and is focused on musical theater. She uses this talent and training to sing the national anthem before races. Alex also likes to model, especially with vehicles, and often does photo shoots for her sponsors for ads, calendars and other promotional materials.

Beijing Olympic visitors urged to check insurance
The 2008 Summer Olympics start in less than a fortnight, and over half a million international visitors are expected to head to Beijing during the games, but esure has urged British travellers to check they have suitable travel insurance before they leave.
According to the travel insurance provider, many UK holidaymakers are forgetting to check that they have adequate cover, while 15 per cent are not checking the validity of their passport and 16 per cent have not even checked to see if they need a visa.
The research also indicated that just one in four Brits take out a travel insurance policy with cancellation cover, even though last minute changes to holiday plans can be so costly otherwise. Esure also recommended people visiting China check their vaccinations are up to date before flying.
Mike Pickard, head of travel insurance at esure, said: "A cancelled flight, lost luggage, a serious bout of illness – it wouldn"t take much for an Olympic dream trip to turn into a nightmare. Being fully prepared will ensure you have an enjoyable and memorable time at the games."
More than 10,500 athletes are expected to compete in 302 events across 28 different sports at the 2008 Summer Olympics, the 29th official games. The event will last from August 8th to 24th, and will then be followed by the Summer Paralympics from September 6th to 17th.
Culture and Sightseeing – City Tours – Whichever city you are in these tours will help to ensure you do not miss a thing.

Who's in, who's out for Arizona attorney general?
The attorney general is the state's top law-enforcement official.
He or she represents Arizona in court -- which, given the number of lawsuits involving the state, is a significant part of the job. The office also investigates potential wrongdoing by local government officials, consumer and civil-rights complaints and some crimes.
Needless to say, such an office demands a leader with integrity, guts and a deep understanding of the law. Here's a look at who's in and who's out for this important statewide race.Who's in, who's out: Governor | Secretary of state | Treasurer | Education | Corp. commission | Congress: District 1 | 2 | 7 | 9

Florence Cowanova, 90, one of America's most acclaimed dance instructors, whose pupils filled social registers and covered theater marquees, died Friday at Ivy Hall, her Overbrook mansion.
Clearly gifted in dance at an early age, Miss Cowanova taught her first class at age 11 and opened her own studio at 18, with her mother as business manager and her father as acrobatics instructor.
She has been credited with being the first to bring the serious study of ballet to Philadelphia. Before her arrival about 1920, the serious student had to travel to New York or abroad.

TG110 Bangkok – Chiang Mai Business Class. The domestic lounge at BKK Airport was exellent when I got on a plane an Airbus A300-600, I found the seats kind of out dated but still comfortable. I was assigned seat 14A seat pitch and width were pretty good. I love the colour of the seats, A small before take off drink was served I chose the Tamarin Tea. Once we have taken off the stewartess began serving lunch on the 12 O' clock 1hour flight. I had a Chicken Sandwich with fruites which I didn't really enjoy but it was OK for a domestic flight.

John Winthrop the Younger
|John Winthrop the Younger
12 February 1606
Groton, England
|6 April 1676
(aged 70)
Boston, US
John Winthrop, the Younger (12 February 1606 – 6 April 1676), was governor of Connecticut.
He was born in Groton, England, the son of John Winthrop, founding governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was educated at the Bury St. Edmunds grammar school, King Edward VI School and at Trinity College, Dublin and studied law for a short time after 1624 at the Inner Temple, London. He also accompanied the ill-fated expedition of the Duke of Buckingham for the relief of the Protestants of La Rochelle, and then travelled in Italy and the Levant, returning to England in 1629.[1]
In 1631 he followed his father to Massachusetts Bay and was one of the "assistants" of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635, 1640 and 1641, and from 1644 to 1649.[1] He was the chief founder of Agawam (now Ipswich, Massachusetts) in 1633, went to England in 1634, and in the following year returned as governor of the lands granted to the Lords Say and Sele and Brooke,[2] sending out the party which built the fort at Saybrook at the mouth of the Connecticut River. He then lived for a time in Massachusetts where he devoted himself to the study of science and attempted to interest the settlers in the development of the colony's mineral resources.[1]
He was again in England in 1641–1643, and on his return established iron works at Lynn and Braintree, Massachusetts. In 1645 he obtained a title to lands in southeastern Connecticut and founded there in 1646 what is now New London, whither he removed in 1650.[1] In 1650 Winthrop built a grist mill in the town and was granted a monopoly on the trade for as long as he or his heirs maintained the mill. This was one of the first monopolies granted in New England.[3]
He became one of the magistrates of the Connecticut Colony in 1651; in 1657–1658 was governor of the colony; and in 1659 again became governor, being annually re-elected until his death. During his tenure as Governor of Connecticut, he oversaw the acceptance of Quakers, who were banned from Massachusetts. In 1662 he obtained in England the charter by which the colonies of Connecticut and New Haven were united. Besides being Governor of Connecticut, he was also in 1675 one of the commissioners of the United Colonies of New England. While in England he was elected to a Fellow of the newly organized Royal Society, to whose Philosophical Transactions he contributed two papers. He died on 6 April 1676 in Boston, where he had gone to attend a meeting of the commissioners of the United Colonies of New England.[1][4]
As a Fellow of the Royal Society he contributed two papers, "Some Natural Curiosities from New England," and "Description, Culture and Use of Maize". to their Philosophical Transactions.[1] His correspondence with the Royal Society were published in series I, vol. xvi. of the Massachusetts Historical Society's Proceedings.[1]
Winthrop married (as his second wife) Elizabeth Reade (1615–1672). Source, Connecticut State Library: John Winthrop, Jr.: http://www.cslib.org/gov/winthropj.htm. Their eldest son Fitz-John Winthrop (1638–1707) served as major-general in the army, an agent in London for Connecticut (1693–1687) and as governor of Connecticut from 1696 until his death in 1707.[1]
A grandson by their 2nd son Waitstill, John Winthrop, F.R.S., (1681–1747) married Ann Dudley, daughter of Joseph Dudley and granddaughter of Thomas Dudley, both governors of Massachusetts, one of a number of unions between the two families.[citation needed]
John and Ann's daughter, Katharine Winthrop, (1711–1781) married (1st) Samuel Browne of Salem and (2nd) Epes Sargent of Gloucester.[5] Her eldest child by Sargent was Paul Dudley Sargent, a colonel in the American War of Independence. Another daughter, Mary Winthrop (1712–1776), married Gurdon Saltonstall, Jr. (1708–1785), son of Governor of Connecticut Gurdon Saltonstall (1666–1724) of the Massachusetts Nathaniel Saltonstall family. Gurdon and Mary were the parents of Dudley Saltonstall (1738–1796), a Revolutionary War naval commander, most notable for his involvement in the ill-fated Penobscot Expedition.[citation needed]

- - Union contacts vs K2 Hurrithane? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/bindings/48848-union-contacts-vs-k2-hurrithane.html)
Union contacts vs K2 Hurrithane?
I ride a 2011 Salomon Drift Rocker with Burton freestyle boots. As for bindings ive previously riden the Flow five bindings but didnt love them so im looking for some new bindings. Ive narrowed it down to the Union contacts and the K2 hurrithane. I picked these because i plan on doing some all-mountain riding, but mainly just lapping around the park and they are under $200. I worry about the Hurrithanes being to soft for the little of all-mountain riding i do which is why i am aiming more towards the Contacts. Ive also heard that the Contacts' toe strap falls apart and or is uncomfortable? Also, any thoughts on adding the Ride EX to this list of possible bindings?
gracias! :thumbsup:
8 Attachment(s)
I found that the highback on the contacts was not all that much stiffer than the Hurrithanes unless its super warm out, and the baseplate on the Contacts is more malleable. Basically the Contacts actually felt softer.
For under $200 its hard to beat either Salomon Arcades or Rythms, K2 Indy's, or if on sale Raiden Zero's. Honestly I would look for some Raiden Zero's on sale and get those. They sound perfect for you really.
For Your Drift Rocker the Contact would be a nice softer flexing compliment for your rockered board- If you however are also free riding your local resort- you may benefit from the Upgraded High back and Asymmetrical Ankle Strap of the CONTACT PRO which you should be able to find for under two hundred- Only issue with the Hurrithane I have heard complaints is the highback gets very hard when in cold temps.
If I were you I would look at Raiden, Flux, and tbh, Burton Cartel. Union seems to have a bunch of fanboys on this site and is otherwise hated, enough to keep me to steer clear. I have had a horrible year with a brand new pair of K2 Uprises that fell apart and I got no love whatsoever from their parts/service department.
I guess Ride is under the k2 umbrella but when I rode their bindings I received replacement parts within a weak during an epic season. I don't really love their bindings tho.
8 Attachment(s)
In the very large picture Ride is under K2, but otherwise they are very separate companies.
The ankle strap on the Contact Pro isn't asym.
Ive been looking at the 2012 Raiden zero's but i hear that they fall apart and dont last very long, thats why im leaning more to the union contacts for better durability.
Raiden Zero's 2012
I have also been looking at the Zero's but i hear they dont last very lOng and fall apart.other then thats the Zero's seem perfect.
Hows the Raiden Zero's durability? I hear they fall apart pretty quickly.
8 Attachment(s)
BA has been riding Phantoms since like early March? He probably put like 50 days in on them. They were his go to's for doing his board reviews. If they held up for him then there's no need to doubt Raiden durability.

text: Hello all. I have been cutting grass and doing landscaping for a guy since I was 13 years old. I am now 32. We use to have close to 50 customers but he has cut back these last couple years down to about 15. We do this part time as we both have full time jobs. He is older and wanting to retire soon. He has been dropping hints to me this season about buying the business. I am just not sure if I can run the business and do my full time job also. I guess the ideal situation for me would be to do the lawn business full time. In the mean time I will browse the site and take in all I can. Thanks.

From the first moment when the jaunty tones of Colonel Bogey and other war toons waft from your Speccy, you know you're onto a winner. With The Great Escape, Ocean has come up with a Chrimbletide cracker. If not, you can spike me to the nearest barbed wire fence for my foolishness (It's a deal! Ed).
It's a 3D escape strategy game that looks a little like Fairlight at first. It has a touch of the maze about it but you'll also need all your arcade skills - you have to be pretty nippy whizzing round camp avoiding the Jerry guards. Your task, in true Tommy style, is to make good your escape from the Colditz camp. Fortunately there's more than one way to walk the wire - you can try tunnelling, snipping through the perimeter fence or just plain bribery and corruption.
But the real skills are in preparing for your big breakout. Camp life follows certain set routines: day break, roll call, breakfast, exercise. If you're not in attendance or you're caught out of bounds, your morale takes a tumble. The flag on the side of the screen shows how healthy it is. It's your job literally to keep that flag flying. Exploring new parts of the camp, finding and hiding objects, such as money, poison, your passport and so on, will ensure you're not flying at half-mast for most of the game.
Finding the objects that are crucial to your completion of the game is best done in the times between the daily routines. So, it's worth studying the pattern of camp life so you know where and when to sneak off. If you leave your man to his own devices, he just melts back into the crowd and follows the flow of the other POWs. Of course, you haven't got a whole war to while away, but it's more patient gameplayers who'll win out in the end.
Trouble is, even when you think you've sussed the guards' movements, those of the Commandant seem to be completely random. Just when you think you're on top and on your way to Blighty, it's Hande hoch, Englander and you're marched off to the cooler.
As for the objects, it's vital that you have the right articles for your chosen tactic. It's no good tunnelling without the torch or confronting the guard dogs without the poison. They don't respond to cries of "Walkies".
The action all takes place on a smoothly scrolling screen that takes you round the perimeter wire, the grounds, huts, exercise yard, tunnels and castle. And although the main screen area is black and white to get round programming limitations, this is cunningly turned into a bonus. At night, it gives the camp an eerie moonlit gloom, broken only by the violent splash of a roaming searchlight. And when you're tunnelling it's positively claustrophobic - remember Bronson in the film?
My merest quibbles are that all the prisoners, including our hero, look identical. Must confuse Fritz at roll call, what? No wonder Albert R.N. got away with it! Plus there's no team work option - no vaulting horse tactics possible here. Mind you, a few of your fellow prisoners are open to a bit of bribery if you want them to set up a diversion.
The Great Escape is a well presented, gently humorous, tense and brain teasing winner. Don't let this scorcher escape your clutches.

The state of our economy is no secret. We all experience it every day with rising food and fuel prices, along with high unemployment rates.
It's in these times that more people need a helping hand. That's where the United Way comes in. In Randolph County, the organization supports 27 agencies that in turn lend assistance to literally hundreds of our local residents.
"There are people in our community needing services now who never did before," Andrea Thompson, executive director of the United Way in Randolph County, told The Inter-Mountain recently.
These needs don't go away just because money isn't available.
As the United Way of Randolph County creeps up on the deadline of its annual campaign, it's just shy of a goal that had already been lowered because of economic conditions. Helping the organization reach this threshold is ever more pressing this time around.
Many people may be scaling back on the amount they contribute; but as this newspaper has said many times before, everyone giving a little adds up in a big way. What's important is to give what you can.
Thompson also emphasized that United Way is about "neighbors helping neighbors," and that's something our communities are well-known for, too.
Let's all strive to help the United Way of Randolph County meet its goal, so that the needs of our neighbors can be fulfilled.

2001 Ford Windstar LX 3dr Minivan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
this is my experience all within 10,000 miles ofownership, bought at 114 k, 3rd owner of van.i am an ASE certified mechanic 24 yrs exp, and done most repairs my self, i will just say this is the worst vehicle i have ever owned,........................here is a list of the problems i had1. transmission @ 117k miles2. dashboard electrical problems3. anti-lock brakeproblems4. power door lock problems5. power window problems6. emission system problems 7.Engine Performance and Driveability "idle surge" 8. oil pump went out, engine locked up before i could react @126k now i buy GMC only.
did not run long enough at any one time to tell
save your money and buy something else
If Ford would just stand by their products and fix the numerous safety issues, this would be a great van.
With the third row seat removed, there is tons of room. Our giant-breed dogs fit in comfortably, and thanks to the space between the rear seats we've been able to load up with building supplies (such as long boards) that were too long to fit in vans/SUVs with bench seats in back. The drive is quite comfortable,
the heater/defroster works really well, and the back of the van has separate temperature controls. I apprecaite that the road noise is not bad. The van has a very good crash rating and having the two sliding doors is wonderful too.
Now the bad news...The van has serious "quirks" and thanks to Ford's lousy customer service and unwillingness to stand behind it's products, the van deserves it's horrible reputation. The ABS and Brake warning lights come on when the engine is warm, and this can be a fire hazard (fluid drips onto a circuit board for the ABS) plus
having the ABS not function is problematic,
but Ford will not issue a recall and repair is about $1500. The back axle is subject to a recall (they have rusted through on numerous occasions and caused deaths) but Ford is very slow to get replacements manufactured, and will not even have their techs inspect the back axle for flaws until parts are available.
Thats right I got almost 186,000 miles on my van.I won't bore you with details but I got maybe about $600 in mechanical maintenance in it.Also Needed the usual stuff (brakes ,oil changes,tires).I can tell you this much, the biggest secret that I learned from my brotherinlaw is change the transmission fluids early .These ford transmissions are delicate, needless to say I have changed the transmission fluid twice and thinking about doing it again(Yup Original Trans).It did need a small map sensor ($60) and a coil pack I think they are about $80.It has yet to get a wheel alignment still drives straight .I drive this car all over united states and I haul heavy car parts with it !
Powerful engine, good gas mpg (about 25 no load highway, heavy load still 20 mpg!) fantastic ice cold air, comfortable ride, bought at 56,000 miles and still going at 186,000 miles
Odd electrical glitches on dash board come and go like the wind. White paint defective and chips easily avoid White. Heavy seats to take in and out.
Powerful, nice looking, easy seat removal, holds resale value, 18-24 mpg was right on, tires wear great versus a lot of vans that wear out front tires. Lot of pick up and very comfortable. Radio iffy so replace with aftermarket. Otherwise a 10!
Easy access of options, power and pick up, great looking silver color.
Different radio.
Overall, an attractive, comfortable van. Gas consumption is ok for a van. Some nice options available. Has plenty of power, compared to other small vans.
Power sliding doors are nice but frequently break down. Dual AC controls are good.
Better build quality. Frequent repairs are needed for leaky intake manifold gaskets, causing "check engine soon" light for O2 sensors. Power sliding door has frequent breakdowns. Transmissions have many breakdowns reported. Repairs are expensive!

Even though engineering designs have not yet been completed, Tempe is poised to approve spending nearly $24 million to build an innovative steel dam on its iconic Town Lake.
Tempe officials expect to finish the design within the next couple of months. The dam will be built at a Phoenix plant starting in January. Excavation work on the river bottom would start next spring.
Assistant City Manager Jeff Kulaga said that although the design is not complete, OKing the contract now may save the city money later.
"You want your construction team in there to say, 'Hey, perhaps if you refine the design this way, you may save time and money,' " Kulaga said.
The City Council is expected to approve the construction contract at its regular meeting tonight.
The steel dam will replace a rubber dam that ruptured in 2010, sending nearly 1 billion gallons of water cascading into the Salt River and turning the 2-1/2-mile-long lake into a smelly, mucky quagmire.
The council previously approved nearly $17 million in design work and other elements, bringing the budgeted total for the entire project to about $40.8 million.
A temporary rubber bladder on loan from the manufacturer was installed months after the dam failure, which was caused by sun damage. That bladder must be returned by December 2015 or the city could face fines under its agreement with Bridgestone Industrial Products Inc.
Tonight's vote will allow PCL Construction Inc. to begin working with the city's engineering contractor, Gannett Fleming Inc., which is finalizing the dam design.
Kulaga said the timeline depends, in part, on receiving approved permits from federal and state agencies. The Arizona Department of Water Resources, which is charged with non-federal dam safety, will have the final say on whether Tempe may move forward with its design or must first make modifications.
Given the hefty price tag for the lake's western-end dam and the tight deadline to finish the massive project, every minute and dollar counts.
"Our goal has been for the last few years, and continues to be, is we are going to meet the Dec. 28, 2015, deadline as established in our contract with Bridgestone," Kulaga said.
The steel dam for the city's man-made lake is expected to cost 11 times as much as the $3.6 million original western-end rubber dam.
"It's a shame we have to do it; it's one of those things that really sucks," Tempe Ciity Councilman Joel Navarro said of the expense coming at a time when Tempe is climbing out of the financial abyss that cities weathered during the economic downturn.
"But we're getting a bigger, better dam out of it," Navarro said. "And the lake is one of our biggest economic engines."

I had that issue. You need to see a Dentist ASAP. Pain usually means infection.

I had that issue. You need to see a Dentist ASAP. Pain usually means infection.
I'm with d Motrin ,it's gonna take at least 800 mg to help if you don't have anything stronger .. I hate to hear anyone have a bad toothache . I hope you feel better .
Quoting Nicoleb9:
I've heard clove works wonders on tooth aches. You can take some over-the-counter Motrin. If you get the 200mg, you can take four of them. The 800mg Motrin is what a lot of dentists prescribe anyway.
I know this sounds nasty, but swishing your mouth out real good with hydrogen peroxide helps the infection, you'll see it bubbling up. Just don't swallow.
Stress how much pain your in. You know affordable dentures has a dentist. You might could try them . They usually can fit you in.

In response to the letter regarding the shorter 9/11 Memorial Motorcycle Ride:
The 9/11 Memorial Ride is NOT just a "big motorcycle ride" and the participants are not just "burning gas to go for a cruise". The 9/11 Memorial Ride is not a ride just so the city can "claim it has a large bike run"! So the ride disrupts traffic for what? A half hour to 45 minutes? So sorry to inconvenience you.
This ride is well publicized in advance and people are made aware of which roads will be temporarily closed. So, all those with you, wouldn't it be a wise idea on your part to plan accordingly and leave a little early or take an alternative route to where you need to go?
Tank Baird and the 9/11 Memorial Coalition spend a great deal of time and energy organizing this ride and I do hope they continue to do so! The 9/11 Memorial Ride provides a group of proud Americans an opportunity to pay tribute to and honor those that sacrificed their lives during that horrific assault on the American people by terrorists. Do you not remember the disruption that was caused by terrorists on September 11th 2001? All the lives that were lost? All the lives that were changed forever?
I for one, am a proud American and am very grateful for Tank Baird and the 9/11 Memorial Coalition. I am proud to have the opportunity to participate in this annual ride and always look forward to the next one! I am pretty sure the 3,500 people that registered and participated in this year's ride will tell you the same thing! We will never forget!
And furthermore, there are a large number of motorcycle clubs within a 75 mile radius of the Williamsport area. These clubs organize and participate in many benefit rides throughout the year. Rides which benefit senior citizens, rides which benefit handicapped children and adults, rides which benefit families of fallen soldiers.
Clubs that gather and distribute Toys for Tots, clubs that raise money to build ramps for handicapped individuals, clubs that raise money to buy stuffed Teddy Bears for distribution at hospitals.

Mayor: Harrison Is Compliant With Sunshine Law
By Mike Perleberg
(Harrison, Oh.) – The Mayor of Harrison is firing back at the Ohio State Auditor.
Eagle 99.3 told you Friday that Ohio Auditor David Yost listed Harrison among several cities and counties which were not in compliance with Ohio's Sunshine Laws concerning the keeping and availability of public records.
Mayor Joel McGuire told The Harrison Press that Yosts' news release posted on the Ohio State Auditor's website is "patently false" concerning Harrison. McGuire insists that that the city is compliant.
In a written statement to the newspaper, McGuire said that had the auditor asked him or any other person in city government, for at least the last six years Harrison's law director and law department have had official responsibility for handling public records' requests, and keeps track of when the requests are received and met.
"We've met all legal requirements for record-keeping. It's disappointing, in this day and age of multiple easy methods of communication, that a state auditor would print such flagrant, false allegations when in fact the problem was that he didn't even ask us who had these duties. Dave's just got to do better," McGuire said.
The mayor said that when a record request is made, the city attorney responds with confirmation of the receipt of the request and in what time frame the request can be fulfilled. When the record is given to the person who requested it, that person then signs for it.
Oh. Auditor: Harrison Must Improve Records Accessibility

J.L., a minor, through his mother and guardian ad litem, Trinity Bui, appeals from three orders of the Probate Part, all dated December 11, 2012. For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that this appeal is interlocutory, and because the interests of justice do not require our intervention at this time, we dismiss the appeal. See R. 2:2–4.
Briefly, the appeal arises from protracted ongoing litigation over the Estate of Selma H. Lederer. There is a pending arbitration proceeding, which has thus far resulted in six interim arbitration awards.2 There is also a will contest pending in the Probate Part (the Probate lawsuit). The Probate lawsuit, in which J.L. is the proponent of a will dated August 26, 2000, is currently scheduled for trial on April 21, 2014.
By way of background, Selma died in 2006, leaving the following survivors: James Lederer; James's three children, Jessica, Jeremy, and J.L; and two other grandchildren, plaintiffs Mark Lederer and Michelle Lederer.3 Even before Selma's death, plaintiffs and James had engaged in bitter litigation, based on allegations that Selma lacked capacity and that James had misappropriated her assets. In 2007, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the Probate Part against James, Jessica, and Jeremy. The litigation involved a contest over, among other things, which of several wills, if any, was Selma's valid last will and testament. During discovery, the parties found an additional will, dated August 26, 2000. That will named J.L. as the beneficiary of twenty-five percent of Selma's estate. None of the other known wills named J.L. as a beneficiary. In 2009, the parties agreed to submit their disputes over Selma's estate to binding arbitration.
For reasons that are not satisfactorily explained on this record, although all parties knew there was one purported will that named J.L. as a beneficiary, J.L. was not added to the litigation as a party before the matter went to arbitration. Nor, apparently, was he formally served with notice of the arbitration or the litigation. It is not clear whether J.L., through his mother, who is James' ex-wife, had actual notice of J.L.'s interest in the litigation or the arbitration.
The arbitration first focused on a September 2000 will, which the arbitrator found was the product of undue influence. The arbitrator then proposed to determine, in turn, the validity of each of the remaining wills, beginning with the next most recent will, which was the August 26, 2000 will. James objected, contending that J.L. was a beneficiary of the August 26 will and had neither been added to the lawsuit nor consented to arbitration with respect to that will. That issue was presented to the Probate judge, through objections to the scope of the arbitration. On February 28, 2011, the judge ruled that the arbitration agreement was broad enough to encompass all of Selma's purported wills.
The judge did not order that J.L. be given notice, but observed that if any individuals claiming an interest in the estate wished to do so, they could move to intervene in the arbitration or the litigation. Perhaps all parties, including the court, operated on the assumption that since James was J.L.'s father, he would naturally give his ex-wife notice of the proceedings in his son's interest. There is some indication in the record that the ex-wife may have had notice and may have consulted with counsel. However, not only is the record before us completely inadequate to support any findings on the issue, but the issue may be actually litigated in the pending Probate lawsuit.
After the Probate judge ruled on the scope of the arbitration, the parties arbitrated the validity of the August 26, 2000 will. J.L. was not a party to that arbitration. On September 18, 2012, the arbitrator determined that the August 26 will was also the product of undue influence. On October 5, 2012, he awarded plaintiffs approximately $500,000 in counsel fees, payable from the estate. The arbitrator entered interim arbitration awards reflecting his decisions.
Plaintiffs moved before the Probate Part to confirm the September 18 and October 5 arbitration awards. At this point, J.L. filed a motion to intervene and to set aside the awards. In support of the motion, J.L.'s mother, Trinity Bui, submitted a certification acknowledging that she lived next door to her ex-husband James, but stating that due to their estrangement, James had never told her about the August 26 will or J.L.'s potential interest in the estate. She attested she did not know that the will existed or was the subject of litigation, until October 2012, when James told her that an arbitrator had declared the will invalid. She asserted that it was unfair to J.L. to award plaintiffs a half million dollars in counsel fees from the estate, thus potentially diminishing his inheritance, for an arbitration from which he had been unfairly excluded.
Plaintiffs contended that Trinity must have known about the litigation earlier; they argued that she and James colluded to withhold J.L.'s claims until the arbitration was over in order to give James a "second bite of the apple" in case, as occurred, the arbitration result was unfavorable to him.
Expressing some skepticism about Trinity's contentions, the Probate Judge appointed her as J.L.'s guardian ad litem and permitted J.L. to intervene, but declined to set the arbitration awards aside. Instead, he confirmed the awards, but only with respect to the parties who had participated in the arbitration. The judge gave J.L. two choices, either of which would have given him the opportunity to re-litigate the validity of the August 26, 2000 will. The judge ruled that J.L. could intervene in the arbitration and ask the arbitrator to re-hear and re-decide the issue of the will's validity. Alternatively, the judge held that J.L. could file the August 26 will for probate and, if plaintiffs filed a caveat, could litigate the will's validity in the Probate Part. The judge ruled that, in that context, plaintiffs would have the right to make a factual record on their claims of laches or collusion. While the judge confirmed the arbitrator's fee award to plaintiffs, he stayed the payment of any funds from the estate pending the outcome of whichever further proceeding J.L. chose.
The parties have advised us that J.L. chose to submit the will for probate. Plaintiffs objected to the will, triggering a lawsuit in the Probate Part over the validity of the will. At oral argument, all counsel confirmed to us that the Probate lawsuit is scheduled for trial on April 21, 2014. At oral argument, we were also advised that the parties to the Probate lawsuit are J.L., plaintiffs, and the substitute administrator of the estate.4 At that trial, plaintiffs, J.L., and the estate administrator will litigate the validity of the August 26, 2000 will.
J.L. argues that if the Probate Judge finds that the will is valid, it will affect the ongoing arbitration, because there can only be one valid will governing Selma's estate. He also argues that the fee award was unwarranted. We note that, in his decision confirming the arbitration awards, the Probate Judge stated that if subsequent litigation determined that the will was valid, he would then reconsider the fee award to plaintiffs. We also note that if the judge finds the August 26 will is valid, J.L. may then seek to re-open the December 11, 2012 order confirming the arbitration award holding that the will was invalid. But those issues are not ripe for our consideration now.
As the foregoing discussion illustrates, given the procedural posture of the case, this appeal is clearly interlocutory. None of the orders on appeal are final, because they do not conclude all issues as to all parties. See R. 2:2–3(a)(1); House of Fire Christian Church v. Clifton Zoning Board, 426 N.J.Super. 157, 159 (App.Div.2012). To the contrary, they contemplate that there will be further proceedings before a final order is entered. We conclude that it would be premature to issue what would amount to an advisory opinion concerning the results of a trial that has not yet occurred and post-trial motions that have not yet been filed. Because our interlocutory intervention is not now required, leave to appeal is not warranted, and the appeal is dismissed
2. FN2. A copy of the Sixth Interim Arbitration Award was provided to us during the pendency of this appeal, in response to our inquiry as to the current status of the arbitration. That award decides certain issues but plainly contemplates further arbitration to decide additional, outstanding issues.
3. FN3. Intending no disrespect, we refer to the parties by their first names, to avoid confusion. We refer to Mark and Michelle as plaintiffs, because that was their status in the underlying litigation that led to the arbitration. Where appropriate, we refer to James, Jessica, Jeremy, Mark and Michelle, collectively, as "the parties."
4. FN4. Earlier in the litigation, the Probate Judge removed James as the executor and appointed a substitute administrator. Because James is accused of mishandling the estate, his and J.L.'s interests do not entirely coincide, although on this appeal, James filed a brief supporting J.L.'s arguments. James did not separately appeal from the order confirming the arbitration award invalidating the August 26 will, and he apparently chose not to participate in the Probate lawsuit.
