Grateful Dead
Early Donna, Playin' she joined as the song was being worked out and by 77 it was often a 30 minute monster...that's all I got, it was mostly filler until she felt comfortable around Mars Hotel time....
You ain't woman enough to take my man? But it ain't Dead...
Anyone anyone Beuller?
I should have asked, "Anyone have a constructive comment to answer Juliet's question?"
(f-you Eva Braun)
Hi all-
We have British radio host doing a feature on Donna Jean this afternoon/evening.
The show is called Bird on a Wire, and is about Female musicians. Juliet Bowbrick is the host, and she reached out to dead.net two days ago for some insight on Donna.
Here are details:
Bird on the Wire
Every Thursday 9-11pm GMT
tune in via wickedspinsradio.org
To chat: just login with a name no need for password
Web page bird.co.uk
Also, she reached out this morning with some details, as follows:
"Ok so I went with the live version of St Stephen and I have mixed that with an interview she did about hearing the Dead for the first time - it is just a 5 minute stint, and each week I try and find a woman in music who has spoken of her experiences and mix that in with a song, so if you do listen don't be pissed off that the song is cut with talking!!
I will play more of them as, as I mentioned, I am a newbie.
What I would be interested to know is what you'd consider their heaviest (preferably early) song with Donna on them or did her time with them herald a different style?"
Anyone care to comment?
Here's a piece that I wrote for the Cover Me blog highlighting a selection of the band's covers. Enjoy!!
Good point Far-L. Apart from Touch of Grey Buzz in the late 80s, GD has never been really recognized by main stream society. That might be kind of the point, or just how us Deadheads and the Band want it. But as years go by, I can see GD being recognized more and more for being ahead of their time and being major contributors to all sorts of things, both musically, socially, and more.
That would be interesting to see GD stuff on Idol. I'm sure they would Cheese the sh#t out of it, but hell, it could be amusing!
I know it sounds crazy but I think the time has come for the bastions of American Pop Culture, the tv shows #AmericanIdol and #TheVoice to celebrate the songwriting and lyrical genius of The Grateful Dead.
I created a facebook page DeadIdolVoices to start gathering a petition of "Likes" to see if the producers of those shows will take note. Please feel free to hit the page and show your support!
I mean seriously... if Justin Timberlake is wearing a "Stealie" and Taylor Swift is praising Bob Weir as an inspiration then why the heck not? Seems like a good way to add to the fun of celebrating 50 years and the amazing influence the Grateful Dead has had on music.
go to Dead50.net and follow the directions there. Mail order is over; online presale is coming up in Feb:
Tickets will be offered through Grateful Dead Ticketing mail order and a public on sale via Ticketmaster.
Wow! We re excited (and humbled) to discover that your enthusiasm for Fare Thee Well matches our own! We have received an overwhelming number of mail order ticket requests. In an effort to honor the history and spirit of the Grateful Dead, we are going to try to fill as many of these orders as possible. This means there will be no other pre-sales. In order to give the good folks at GDTS TOO time to sort through the 60,000+ (!) envelopes received so far the new public on sale is Feb 28th @ 10 a.m. CST via Ticketmaster.
Public on sale is Feb 28th @ 10 a.m. CST via Ticketmaster.

Faust Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
|Red Wine
|Cabernet Sauvignon
|California » Napa Valley
Product Description
Faust is the epitome of the style that has made Napa Cabernet Sauvignon world renowned: bold and powerful, yet elegant and concentrated. Dense and inky, the core is a beautiful, rich ruby color. The aromas lift out of the glass with blackberry, black cherry, ripe raspberry and tea leaf. The entry is impressive with a fleshy mouthfeel and notes of cassis, dark chocolate and ripe berries. The layers continue to unfold throughout a long finish.
Wine Advocate
The Faust 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon comes largely from vineyards in southern Napa Valley's Coombsville and Atlas Peak, but also includes some cross-AVA material from areas such as Yountville, Mt. Veeder, St. Helena and Rutherford. It is a well-made, ripe, concentrated, deep ruby/purple-colored Cabernet Sauvignon with sweet tannin, an attractive, cedary, licorice-infused aromatic and flavor profile, medium to full body and supple tannins. It seems to be the most drinkable and up-front of the Faust wines.Score: 90, Robert Parker, October 2015

Adrian Gonzalez Has Gotten to Second Base with the Desert
When a man has sexual feelings inside of himself, the way he generally wants to express them is by means of rubbing his hands awkwardly all over the object of his affections — a task which, upon completion, he commemorates by means either of a celebratory fist pump or other, similar celebratory gesture.
Photographic evidence from the cover of the Dodgers game-day program suggests that Adrian Gonzalez has completed such a task. For photographic evidence suggests that Adrian Gonzalez, first baseman of your Los Angeles Dodgers, has gotten to second base with the whole desert.

"Recruiting has been coming along great," said Chamberlain. "I talked with the coaches at Georgia Tech last night and gave them my verbal commitment." Bryan talked to Coach Todd Spencer who asked him what he didn't like about Georgia Tech. "I thought for a minute or so and couldn't come up with anything that I did not like." When Spencer heard that he suggested to Chamberlain that he commit. "I thought some more and it really made sense and I told him that I would be giving him my verbal."
It's easy to see that Coach Spencer had a big influence in Chamberlain's decision. "I can't tell you how much I like Coach Spencer," said Chamberlain. "He likes to joke around but he is one of the most positive coaches I have ever seen and he gave Tech a big advantage in my recruitment." Bryan also likes that Coach Spencer reminds him of his high school coach.
After giving the news to Coach Spencer, Chamberlain had a chance to talk to Coach Paul Johnson. "He said he was very happy to have me at Georgia Tech." Chamberlain and Coach Johnson talked about what it means to be a student and football player at Georgia Tech. They also talked about Coach Johnson's no visit rule following a commitment. "I fully understand and support that rule of his."
Coach Mike Sewak told Bryan that he would start him out at center but that he could play at any line position that would be best for him and the team. "That is not a problem as long as I get to contribute to the team." Chamberlain plays left tackle for his high school team and feels that he would probably move to a position other than center.
Chamberlain is glad that he was able to get recruiting out of the way this early. "It feels especially good since I am going to a school that I really love." Chamberlain plans on majoring in business or finance. He likes the fact that Tech has a good business school. "The pressure is off me and I will let everyone know that I am 100% committed to Georgia Tech."

What I'm about to tell you might not make any sense. In fact, it might even upset you a little. But I'm your friend, and I've promised to tell you the truth about your A/V gear, so it's a risk I'm willing to take. Here goes: Your TV doesn't look right.
You can hardly buy anything without being presented with the chance to spend a little more to get a little extra. And as upgrades go, the A/V industry might be the reigning heavyweight champ. You can upgrade everything in our exciting, neurotic world - speakers, amps, controllers, cables, even the lens on your video projector.
Many people hide their A/V gear behind cabinet doors or put the system off in a closet somewhere. But how do you control everything when you can't point the remote at any of it? The oh-so-simple solution is to install an infrared (IR) repeating system, which carries signals from your remote to wherever your gear may live.

Having lived on both coasts, I've personally sampled from the buffet of natural disasters each has to offer. I lived through the 1989 World Series earthquake, standing in a doorway trying to decide whether to be more worried about myself or my large tube TV, which was doing the Hippy Hippy Shake on its stand.
A receiver is your home theater's brain as well as its brawn. It doesn't just power your speakers; it's also the switching center for your gear and decodes the various surround sound formats. After connecting your speakers and components, here are the steps to take to ensure your receiver produces all the sound you paid for.
You've finally done it: You've decided to hire a custom installer to ensure your project goes off with nary a hitch. So now what? Where do you begin, and how do you find the installer who's right for you? If your install is relatively simple - like mounting a flat-panel TV or connecting an existing audio system - it shouldn't be too hard.
Audio distribution is the custom-installation industry's bread and butter. Sure, home theaters are sexier, but with only five or seven speakers, they can't compete with the ten, 20, 30, or more that need installing for a housewide music system.

Dear Senator: A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmondby Essie Mae Washington-Williams, William Stadiem
View All Available Formats & Editions
Breaking nearly eight decades of silence, Essie Mae Washington–Williams comes forward with a story of unique historical magnitude and incredible human drama.

Breaking nearly eight decades of silence, Essie Mae Washington–Williams comes forward with a story of unique historical magnitude and incredible human drama. Her father, the late Strom Thurmond, was once the nation's leading voice for racial segregation (one of his signature political achievements was his 24–hour filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, done in the name of saving the South from "mongrelization"). Her mother, however, was a black teenager named Carrie Butler who worked as a maid on the Thurmond family's South Carolina plantation.
Set against the explosively changing times of the civil rights movement, this poignant memoir recalls how she struggled with the discrepancy between the father she knew–one who was financially generous, supportive of her education, even affectionate–and the Old Southern politician, railing against greater racial equality, who refused to acknowledge her publicly. From her richly told narrative, as well as the letters she and Thurmond wrote to each other over the years, emerges a nuanced, fascinating portrait of a father who counseled his daughter about her dreams and goals, and supported her in reaching them–but who was unwilling to break with the values of his Dixiecrat constituents.
With elegance, dignity, and candor, Washington–Williams gives us a chapter of American history as it has never been written before–told in a voice that will be heard and cherished by future generations.

Dear SenatorA Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmond
By Washington-Williams, Essie Mae
ReganBooksISBN: 0060760958
Chapter One
Summer of '38
I always thought I had a fairly normal childhood, until I found out my parents weren't who I thought they were. I grew up in Coatesville, Pennsylvania, a small town in the hills along the Brandywine River on the threshold of the rich farmland of the Amish country. We were only forty miles from Philadelphia, and the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad ran through our town. And yet Philadelphia might as well have been the moon. That was the Big City. Coatesville was nowhere, but for a little girl it was everywhere -- it was all I had and all I knew. Coatesville was what was considered a one-horse town, but that horse was a very powerful steed called steel. The Lukens Steel Company dominated everything about our town. Its dozens of soaring smokestacks dominated the skyline. They were our own skyscrapers. Even the smoke belching from those enormous stacks was a point of pride, not pollution. That pungent, thick, black soot meant the mills were working full blast, that the little town was booming. It was the smell of money.
Like most men in Coatesville, my father, John Henry Washington, worked for the steel mills. Bethlehem Steel and Worth Brothers Steel had huge plants in Coatesville, but the colossus was Lukens Steel. Like an industrial octopus, Lukens had devoured itsrivals and made them its own. The matriarch of the business was a legendary local character named Rebecca Lukens, known as "The Woman of Steel." She was an independent woman, far ahead of her time, a Pennsylvania version of a steel magnolia. Rebecca was the driving force behind the expansion of her family 's Brandywine Iron Works into an international powerhouse. She was one of the first women in America to run a major company, and her daughter married a man named Huston. When I was growing up, the Hustons were Coatesville's first family. They lived in a grand manor house called Terracina and were to Coatesville what the Kennedys or the Rockefellers are to America. Despite the small size of the town (15,000 people), I never met a Huston, and, by the same token, I never aspired to become a woman of steel. American women today have those sort of huge "have it all" ambitions, but growing up black during the Great Depression, I was perfectly happy to dream about becoming a nurse. That was a pretty big deal at the time, and I was more ambitious than most.
My mother, or at least the woman who I thought was my mother, kept house, while daddy worked on the assembly line. Mother had worked as a picker in the cotton fields of South Carolina and said that was enough hard labor for two lifetimes. I had a half-brother, Calvin Burton, who was my mother's son by a previous relationship, which I later learned was not an actual marriage. Calvin was seven years older than I, and by the time I was thirteen, in 1938, he had left home to live in New York City. I had fantasies of following him there, to become a nurse in a big city hospital, but these were only fantasies. At thirteen, I still hadn't gotten to Philadelphia.
We lived in a small, two-story, three-bedroom row house in a neighborhood called The Spruces, named after the tree, which was populated by other black steelworkers. Most of them, like my family, hailed from the South. I had my own room, which seemed like a castle to me. The house was heated with coal stoves, and there was no running water or any bathrooms. We had to use an outhouse in the back and take tub baths in the bedroom using water we'd carry from an outside pump. It sounds primitive, but it seemed normal then, although the winters were awfully cold, and the day of the week the big sanitation trucks would come to clean the outhouses was the smelliest day you could imagine. We'd all try to stay away from home on that day. I remember visiting the home of a white girlfriend. The house wasn't any nicer than ours, but it did have an indoor toilet. It seemed like the ultimate in high technology at the time.
I'll never forget the wonderful dinners we'd have: fried chicken, biscuits, lots of fresh vegetables, and the sweetest pies made with local peaches, strawberries, apples, and plums. Every night was like Thanksgiving. My mother, who was tall and slim and a great cook, always wore a kerchief around her head. That seemed old-fashioned at the time, as did her habit of chewing tobacco and expelling it into a spittoon. I gathered that it was an old southern custom she'd brought with her. I didn't question her about it. In fact, I didn't tend to question things at all. My parents were of the "children should be seen and not heard" school. As a little girl I started out quite chatty, but one day my mother warned me "that mouth of yours can get you into trouble," after which I learned to keep it shut.
We never talked much at those fine dinners, partly because we were all listening to the radio all through the meal. That was our ear to the world. Despite all the bad news that seemed to be coming through the airwaves -- the seemingly endless Depression, the rise of the Nazis in Europe, disasters like the Hindenburg airship explosion -- the feeling around the table was very positive. My father, a handsome man who always came to the table after a hard, dusty day at the mills immaculate and smelling deliciously of soap and cologne, always said a blessing of thanks, for the food, for his job, for his wonderful family, and for funny or odd things, like Shirley Temple, or Charlie Chan, or Heinz ketchup ...

I wish this was required reading in school. Our children have no idea how people lived back when the author was growing up. A wonderful history lesson.
Although the literary style does not reach the highest peaks, the story, as it is told, is incredibly compelling. As a northern, fair-skinned, black woman, Strom Thurmond represented, to me, all the evil that the South had to offer... until I read this book. It helped me to understand the lifestyle of the South, why my fair-skinned, blue-eyed grandmother insisted I continue to pursue my education, and how a young, 'black' woman could love a secret father like Strom Thurmond. More Black Americans need to embrace the idea of taking advantage of and furthering their education and making the most of the suffering of our ancestors. In many ways, we are all composed of the 'melting pot' heritage that this country supposedly represents. Essie Mae Washington-Williams represents the strength of the Black American woman while also showing respect to her white ancestors, her elders and to God. Her pride in her heritage, on both sides of her family, was found only by digging deeply enough to know her father in the only way she could. May we learn to stand up as Black Americans and make the most of our American heritage.
relationships , has no color , life , no matter what color your mother or father. life is a wonderful thing. wow ! what an untold love story. i can't wait to read the book
I enjoyed reading this memoir greatly. The historical references made it feel as if I was enjoying a rich and wonderful story by a campfire told by my older relatives. I enjoyed this book, because of its candid feel. I fully expected to hate Strom Thurmond, but instead I came to pity him. Essie May did not write a politically correct autobiography. She wrote what she felt. With all my grandparents deceased and never having been able to hear their wonderful stories of life, this book is heartfelt and generous in the telling of the story of Mrs. Washington-William's life. I envy her descendents, she has left a legacy for them to share and cherish with themselves and the world. I only wish that I had had an opportunity to hear my Grand-Parents lives from them, as well.
I wonder what sort of romance would have occurred in Jim Crow's S.Carolina between a 23 yr old massah and 15year old black maid. Could it have been rape?
Credit Essie Mae Washington with the class and disgnity not to emerge from the shadows during her father's lifetime and cause him grief in his political career. But credit her more for enduring the isolation, rejection and lies that the American apartheid system, so ably defended by her father, caused her.To her immense credit, nothing seemed to stand in the way of her getting ahead in life and making a proper life for herself and her family, which she so capably did. This story is just heartwrenching, told without bitterness or cant - wish our whole system of race relations were so.
This is one of the best books, that I have EVER had the pleasure of reading. It will absorb your soul and senses, in a way that a scrumptious piece of chocolate will do. DeFacto... having an ORGASM on the written word.
I really feel sorry for this woman. That's all, just pity. I cannot comprehend how awful it must have been to be denied by your own father in public, I cannot judge her for keeping this secret, it would be a tough decision to make. So, I can accept that she will always love the father that never showed love to her, not in public anyway. But, to me, Thurmond will always be a total redneck bigot. If he truly ever had a change of heart, this would not have gone to the grave.--- Redneck-n.- a white man who will sleep with a black woman, but won't go to school with her-- Shame on you South Carolina, you knew better, but you voted for him anyway.
The book was very well written, and kep my attention. I was very well aware of Strom Thurmond, and had no idea he had a daughter with a black woman.

When the first completely retooled and restyled tablet computer, the iPad, was introduced by Apple in 2010, it should have provided the answer to those of us who dread dragging a heavy laptop across town to business meetings and through the airport on long trips.
And yet, despite three years of significant industry-wide product launches and feature improvements, including longer battery life, more storage and the all-important attachable keyboard, the tablet still hasn't made believers out of die-hard laptop users. We believe that our somewhat bulkier portable computers will still serve us better in more situations than a stripped down tablet ever could.
It was our ongoing skepticism that compelled us to road test Dell's convertible XPS 10 Tablet, which, when combined with its compact keyboard, effectively transforms into a fully functioning laptop. Together, the two component parts provide a mind-boggling 16 to 18 hours of battery life, and weigh in at just 2.89 pounds total. Still, since that's approximately the heft of our current lightweight laptop, we wanted to see if the XPS 10's flexibility and features outweighed our go-to device for business and pleasure travel.

After unloading the unit from its box, charging it up and turning it on, we expected that the XPS 10 would guide us through a series of steps designed to help us set up the tablet and get us connected to Wi-Fi. It didn't. Instead, we found ourselves on a start screen displaying Windows' signature "tiles" and we were required to hunt around for several minutes in order to finally get online (hit "Desktop" and the lower right hand corner icon to access wireless networks). While navigating through setup may be more clear for lifelong PC users, Apple-heads may chafe at the non-intuitive nature of using the device for the first time.
Keyboard and Trackpad
The trackpad is generously sized, but felt slightly under-responsive to our touch. Keep in mind (Apple users, we're again talking to you) that hitting the center with your thumb will result in a non-action by the XPS 10—the trackpad is two-sided, but not clearly marked to indicate that. Besides that PC-specific quirk, we found the 92 percent full-sized keyboard to be almost imperceptibly cramped, but otherwise comfortable. We could easily type without making errors. In fact, the laptop-like feel of the attached tablet and keyboard almost made us forget at times that we were using a tablet.
Operating System and Apps
The XPS 10 uses the Microsoft Windows RT operating system and comes pre-loaded with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT, which allowed us to begin working almost as soon as we turned on the tablet. But as we moved from business to "fun," we were disappointed with the selection of apps available to us via the Windows Store—and the fact that other apps we wanted to download weren't compatible with the operating system. One we missed the most: Yahoo's Fantasy Sports, something we check daily (if not hourly) to see where we stand against our trash-talking competitors.
Product Testing: On the Road
We road-tested the XPS 10 by taking it on a 48-hour domestic trip, tossing it in our bag just before leaving the office. While the dimensions were smaller, the tablet-keyboard combo is actually far less delicate than our company-issued ultra-thin laptop. The exterior of the XPS 10 utilizes a rubberized finish that allows for easy gripping when reaching into a bag and pulling it out. The tablet portion is faced with Ashai Dragontail glass (a shatter-resistant competitor to Gorilla Glass) to ensure that an inadvertent slip and fall won't cause our days with the XPS 10 to crash to an end.
While the real-world performance of the device (flipping between apps, loading documents, etc) felt a little bit slow, it wasn't enough to hold us up from working, surfing or playing games. We found it handy to have two USB 2.0 ports and a mini-HDMI port (with included mini-to-full HDMI dongle) located on the keyboard, and discovered micro-SD and micro-SIM ports on the tablet itself. We're still SD card users, so we did miss the ability to transfer images from our camera's memory card directly to our computing device (something we do almost constantly on trips).
Watching a movie on the XPS 10 was a better than average entertainment experience—at least, as far as tablets are concerned. When attached, the tablet and keyboard's speakers work together to offer far better sound quality than the tablet ever could on its own.
Final Verdict
The XPS 10 tablet and keyboard gave our current ultralight laptop a run for its money, its snap-on, snap-off component parts offering us a more flexible experience for work and play. While we weren't wowed by the thin library of apps, disappointing trackpad performance and somewhat sluggish operating system, the XPS delivers extraordinary battery life and all the essential programs we need for business. Those factors, plus its compact size, will make us seriously consider using it exclusively on our next extended getaway.

Maximize the Value of Vendor Relationships
Get more from your vendors than just a bill.
This content requires an active subscription.
Access this content by logging in with your Info-Tech Research Group membership or contacting one of our representatives for assistance.
Your Challenge
- As core IT services continue to become outsourced and automated, IT is becoming increasingly dependent on external vendors.
- When IT does not manage these vendors properly there is often a lack of accountability to ensure that performance expectations are being met and that opportunities for cost savings are being realized.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Choosing the right vendors isn't enough. Procuring valuable products and services can yield immediate visible benefit. But it's the relationship with the vendor that ensures that benefits are sustained over the long run.
- All vendors are not equal. Invest your vendor management efforts where they can deliver the best return; focus on the vendors most important to your business. Divide your vendors into tiers to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Impact and Result
- Develop and apply best practices for negotiating vendor contracts to maximize the value of the relationship and mitigate vendor risks.
- Create vendor tiers to standardize your processes around transitioning in new vendors, maintaining communications, and monitoring performance.
- Create clear escalation pathways and contingency plans for addressing vendor underperformance.
- Produce a Vendor Management Program Manual that contains all relevant documentation for how vendor relationships are established and managed by the organization.
- Transform key vendors into partners. Better relations with vendors can deliver immediate cost savings, but the greatest benefits come from turning vendors into partners who contribute to the future success of your organization.

Case Studies and Deliverables
Vendor Management Case Study of a Regional Grocery Chain
A lack of standardized vendor management process inhibited a grocery retailer from optimizing the value of its IT vendor portfolio and effectively managing risk in certain situations. To solve the problem, they targeted a moderate-to-high level of maturity to gain effectiveness while limiting unnecessary tasks that would slow efficiency.
Vendor Management Case Study of a Mid-Sized Electric Utility
A 13-person IT department in a small, regional, non-profit electric generation and transportation utility located in the eastern US managed over 50 vendors. While no major problems existed, the small team's reliance on vendor support to deliver IT services demanded better vendor management process standardization in order to optimize the vendor portfolio and manage risk.

SeaMonkey suite still swimming along
The Mozilla project scuttled development for the legacy Mozilla Suite in 2005 after shifting focus to work on Firefox and Thunderbird. However, rather than abandoning the project entirely, the Mozilla Project provided the infrastructure to allow the community to continue development of the Mozilla Suite as SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey 1.0.4 was released recently, so I decided this would be a good time to check in on SeaMonkey to see where it stands. The suite holds up well, but it's losing ground rapidly to Firefox and Thunderbird.

DJ Radar and Raul Yañez
Ordinarily, fashion shows are a little bourgeois for our taste, but we'll make an exception for LabelHorde's second annual Fashion Ball this Friday, November 12, just so we can catch a rare performance by DJ Radar with Raul Yañez of the Chicano Power Revival Orchestra.
It's been a couple years since the duo regularly rocked the house at the old Nita's Hideaway on Rio Salado Parkway, but we haven't forgotten the fusion between Radar's gate-crashing turntablism and Yañez's innovative Latin-flavored jazz stylings.
Do yourself a favor -- suffer through the beautiful people in their pretentious clothing and catch an aural treat at Bentley Projects, 215 East Grant Street. Admission is $15.

The factory exhaust and intake on the 2014 Ram 1500 hemi combine to make the truck sound like a vacuum cleaner. The Flowmaster Outlaw muffler changes that in a big way. It's loud and it lets the hemi sound like it should when you get on it. There's a moderate drone at 75mph highway speeds, but it's not that bad.

2012 Ford Explorer SUV XLT 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
I brought my 2012 Explorer in December 2011.I have the XLT Model with Leather, 20 in Rims, Power Liftgate and Dual Power Seats.I love my new explorer. Only 2 problems.... Recall for Engine Cooling at 5K and had to replace the brakes under warranty at 7K.I currently have 10K miles on it.I get a lot of compliments on my explorer.I like the ride, styling and comfort.I do not have MyFord Touch so I dont have any of those issues. I think Ford did a good job overall.First new Ford!!
Power liftgate
Premium Sound System
20 in Chrome Rims
Exterior Lighting at Nite -
I like the courtesy lights on the mirrors when it's dark out and how the headlights stay on at nite.
To low to the ground for a crossover... I wish it was higher.
I brought my 2012 Explorer XLT with leather interior, 20 in rims and power liftgate in Dec 2011. The only issues I had was replacing the brakes (covered under warr) at 8,000 miles and a recall for engine cooling.Currently I have 10,000 miles.I like driving my Explorer. It gets a lot of attention with it's 20 in rims and dark exterior color.I have gotten 25 MPG on the highway and about 18 in the city. It always has enough power and all features work correctly... It's quiet and I feel very safe in it.
Power Liftgate
SYNC System
Upgraded Sound System
Power Seats
I wish it was a lilltle higher - I know it's car based SUV but it's a lil to low for me.
We got the 2 WD thinking it would ride smoother than 4WD. Unless you are on new smooth pavingthe ride is jarring.''Seats are hard as rocks.Because they force the 3 rd row seating there is so little leg room that only a child can be comfortable in second row seats.If we would not take such a big loss we would get rid of the car.
The computer system on the new explorer lacks the tactile functions necessary to safely drive the vehicle. I also drive a 2012 Infiniti. The Infiniti computer system permits BOTH touch screen functionality ANDtouch and click key strokes allowing the driver to 'feel' that the commands have been accepted by the computer. Other car makes have figured this out. Also, the trip computer also 'freezes' occasionally (2 times for me in 2 months), forcing me to pull over, turn off the car, and reset it. Ford needs to change these things asap.
four wheel drive and the additional calculation displayed on the trip computer such as elapsed time time and MPG. 3rd row for passengers, ease which the 3 rows folds flat. the reply/rewind function on the
sirius radio.
The Microsoft touch screen computer system creates an extremely dangerous situation for the driver. There is no difference between using this system to operate the hot/cold air, radio, or nav system and texting on an android done. This type of touch screen should be outlawed. All main controls such as seat heaters, air temp controls, preset radio controls, to name a few, are managed through the touch screen. As the driver is not able to 'feel' the clicks, the driver needs to turn his/her gaze to the center screen as many as 4 or more times to check that the process to change any of the above is occurring. I am addicted to my droid and I feel safer using it while driving than I am the car pc
Recently purchased 2012 Ford Explorer XLT.Have been very disappointed when driving it through mud, slush or snow.All the road debris (snow, slush, etc.) flows through the wheel well liners because of manufactured holes and inadequate linner size (too small).The door tracks and inside rails are a dirty mess after driving though any road debris.Ford says this is the way they designed and offer no fix.Dealer suggested we buy/install mud flaps.They have had other complaints about this condition.
Cruise control is very smooth.
Nice ride.
SYNC is working fine.
Ford needs to replace the wheel well liners and get correct size for this vehicle.
How about giving a free year of navigation system like GM does with On-Star.
Also, be aware that you cannot get heated leather seats in this model unless you get My Ford Touch.
