Admissions Policy
Transfer students may be admitted into the Coggin College of Business if they satisfy the following: (note: the conditions outlined below may be overridden by the universities admissions policy with consideration of space and fiscal limitations)
Exception Policy
Students who do not meet the minimum criteria above or have previously been on probation or suspension may be considered for admission on probation with special restrictions. The Coggin College of Business carefully evaluates the students' academic records, may ask for additional documentation, outlines restrictions that students must meet, and makes the final decision on admission or denial. Conditions for admission/readmission are monitored by the students' academic advisor, and students who do not meet the probationary restrictions will be suspended.
Good Academic Standing
Undergraduate students who possess a total institutional GPA of 2.0 or above.
Academic Probation
An undergraduate student who fails to maintain good academic standing as stated above will be placed on academic probation and referred to an academic advisor. Academic probation is a warning. Transcripts will reflect probations.
Academic Suspension and Dismissal
If the total institutional GPA falls below 2.0 at the end of a semester in which a student is on Academic Probation, then the student will be eligible for suspension. If suspended, the student will be dropped from any course for which he/she is currently registered and denied the opportunity to re-enroll until released from suspension by their respective College. Transcripts will reflect suspensions.
Coggin College of Business Suspension terms
Students enrolled in Coggin College of Business courses are responsible for assuring that they have satisfactorily met the requirements for all prerequisite/co-requisite courses. The student's professor, the department chairperson, or the Director of Student Service Center has the discretionary authority to dismiss any student who has not fully complied with this policy from the related courses. Fees will not be refunded for dismissal from a course by one of the parties listed above if the dismissal is for lack of required prerequisites or co-requisites.
Students desiring to enroll in a "directed independent study" must obtain appropriate approvals from the faculty member, department chairperson, and the Director of the Student Service Center. Traditionally, the faculty member chooses the student that is preferred to do research with. The student and the faculty member must complete an "independent study" form, which must detail the work to be done and grading policy to be used. Only regular faculty members can supervise directed independent study courses unless the appropriate department chairperson and the associate dean grant special permission. Please email your advisor for a copy of the form.
The Coggin College of Business supports and encourages undergraduate students to study abroad. In all cases, students must obtain approval regarding anticipated academic credit earned prior to departure. The Coggin College of Business offers three types of programs:
1.Faculty-led study abroad courses
Note: Coggin undergraduate students can only apply TWO upper-level, faculty-led study abroad courses towards their program of study. This excludes the 4-week summer and semester programs. Also, Coggin undergraduate students can only use ONE faculty-led study abroad towards their "major" requirements.
2. Four week summer programs (via exchange partners) "Coggin In...."
3. Semester and academic year abroad (via exchange partners)
On a limited case by case basis, students may be approved (through the formal College petition process) to participate in non-Coggin College of Business study abroad programs, when demonstrating a unique need unable to be met through a Coggin College of Business study abroad program.
Concurrent enrollment at other institutions is NOT permitted for Coggin College of Business students.
In extenuating circumstances (documentable) when permitted, concurrent enrollment requires prior approval in advance of taking courses at another institution. Students must first fill out a "Waiver of College Policy" form for permission. If permission is granted, students must complete the Transient Student Admission Application at www.floridashines.org. Go to Transient Courses or see your advisor for clarification.Students are not allowed to take courses at another institution in their final semester at UNF. This policy includes correspondence courses and CLEP examinations. If a student obtains permission to take a prerequisite course at another institution, permission to take the subsequent course will not be given until a final grade is provided.
Double Majors:
Any UNF students working towards a single baccalaureate degree who satisfies all requirements for two majors within the Coggin College of Business will be awarded two diplomas and both majors will be indicated on the permanent record. Once the degree has been awarded, subsequent course work cannot be added to create a second degree for either major. In order to earn a double major, students must complete all prerequisites and major requirements for each major. Students must meet GPA requirements for each major and earn a minimum of 120 semester hours.
Simultaneous Degrees:
Students in the Coggin College of Business may pursue a simultaneous degree as long as the second college (for example Arts and Sciences) agrees that the student may seek the simultaneous degree in that college. Advisors in both colleges work closely together to see that student completes the appropriate courses and meets all requirements to obtain two degrees (simultaneously) at the University of North Florida.
For Upper-level Courses
Students must have completed a minimum of 51 semester hours of acceptable college level course work in order to enroll in 3000 or 4000-level courses in the Coggin College of Business. There is one exception to this policy: BUL 3130 Legal Environment of Business.
This policy related to degree evaluation course work applies both to courses taken at UNF and courses taken at other institutions. Courses expire when they are 10 years old and will need to be repeated if not completed before the date of graduation.
This includes:
This excludes:
Note: classes that may be in the 10 year window at start of degree may fall off degree evaluation as the 10 year window closes and the courses expire.

Excess weight gain in the first 18 months of life is associated with later childhood overweight, obesity and greater arterial wall thickness

Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
The association between early postnatal weight gain and later childhood obesity suggests that programmes providing culturally tailored, universal, affordable or free support to families of newborns and infants are essential.
Nursing care should emphasise the importance of optimal, rather than maximal, infant growth.
Nursing research, in particular qualitative methods, could strengthen understanding of infant feeding practices and theory-based behaviour modification research could explore non-judgemental and culturally tailored interventions.
Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death globally with a rapidly increasing incidence in low and intermediate income countries.1 Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is associated with an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adulthood.

I'm your average animal rights activist, hippie, flower child, sarcastic, neurotic, girl who dreams of world peace (and proud of it). If I don't know what to do, I constantly get an urge to run around the room screaming a random word. May I also add that I'm known for my ninja clarinet skills, which makes no sense because the only types of ninjas in this world are Asians and Canadians and I'm neither. My ninja friend's going to kill me when I'm really old. I promised myself that I'll be killed by ninja assassins and that I'll be laughing when I die. (Most awesome way to die, right there.

Raising a Class Clown?
This week we had the dreaded parent-teacher conference call. Okay, okay, my son is only in preschool so maybe it's not such a big deal, but I was still anxious. Although my son loves preschool and seems to be making great friends, you never really know what your child is like when you're not around. And it's always scary to hear about it from someone else…it's so judgemental!
So when our conversation started with her telling me how funny my son is, I wasn't sure how to take it. Was she softening the blow for what was to come next? I admit my son is funny – he cracks me up all the time – but he's no Jerry Seinfeld. In fact, his knock-knock jokes are pretty bad, so I wasn't sure where this was leading.
It turns out his funny sense of humor extends to "circle time", the part of the morning when the kid all sit in a circle and sing songs with finger play. I think the way she put it was, "I enjoy his facial expressions during circle time." And there it was…a subtle way of letting me know he's not participating in the songs. Instead he's making funny faces to all of his classmates and generally being a distraction.
And I have to admit, I should've seen this coming. Last year, in his first year of preschool, he did this during his class' Mother's Day Brunch performance. While all of the other kids where singing along and doing the hand motions, my son was mimicking it all – and looking straight at me the whole time. What was I doing? Unfortunately, I was cracking up. I'm sorry, but it was funny!
I guess that's what you call a "first warning sign." So I'm taking the teacher's note more seriously this time. I don't want my son to be a distraction to the other kids, or to act like the task is babyish. But I also don't want him to lose his awesome sense of humor and love of laughter. I guess it's a balance we'll have to work on before the next dreaded parent-teacher conference.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
It can be tough to predict and just as challenging to prevent preterm birth, which is defined as any delivery more than four weeks prior to the due date. About 10 percent of births are premature, and thanks to significant advances in medicine, premature birth is no longer as dangerous as it used to be. As a matter of fact, most preemies develop normally and have caught up with the norms by 18 to 24 months.
Until the age of 36 weeks, your baby's lungs are not mature, so if you go
into labor prior to week 36, your doctor will try to delay birth. Sometimes it's not possible to delay delivery, and other times it's actually safer for your baby to be born that early. Babies as young as 25 weeks old have as much as a ninety percent chance of survival, so while premature birth is never the favorite option, it may be the best.
This is not to say that there aren't problems associated with being born
too early. The most common conditions preemies suffer are jaundice, apnea,
and an inability to breast or bottle feed. Jaundice is a yellowing of the
skin associated with the overwork of your baby's young liver in trying to
break down red blood cells that need to be processed. Apnea is a pause in breathing that lasts more than 15 to twenty seconds and causes your baby's face to turn pale or purple and their heart rate to slow. This is caused by the prematurity of respiratory centers in the brain, and is most common
in sleep. It's treated in the short term with medicine, breathing machines,
rocking, or periodic stimulation, and like jaundice, it should go away as your
baby's due date and maturity approach. If your baby cannot bottle or breastfeed in their early days, they will be fed by tubes or intravenously until the age of 34 weeks when your baby will have the coordination to engage in the necessary suck/swallow/breathe pattern.
Problems preemies face less often include anemia, low blood pressure, sugar
imbalances, respiratory distress syndrome, and infections. Between ten
and twenty percent of premature babies suffer from intracranial hemorrhage, or bleeding in the brain, generally within their first week to ten days of life. These hemorrhages can cause developmental delays, seizures, learning disabilities, intellectual impairment, or hydrocephalus, fluid on the brain, which may require surgery. About one third of babies born very early, at 23 to 25 weeks, can develop lasting neurologic problems, developmental delays, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, or seizures. Mild cerebral palsy, vision problems or slight developmental delays affect about another third of these babies. Severe problems include blindness, deafness, mental retardation, inability to walk without assistance, vision problems, abnormal growth of blood vessels, and slow growth.
Should you deliver your baby prematurely, your caregiver is prepared for this possibility. Your baby will get the best of care to help them avoid
or recover from any of these problems as they come up. In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), your baby will get round-the-clock care. Your baby will probably be placed in an isolette, an enclosed plastic box that keeps them warm. Tubes will be inserted and wires taped to your baby, and these will provide your baby with fluids, nutrition, and medication, and will provide your baby's medical team with information about your baby's blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and body temperature. Your baby may also need a ventilator to help him or her breathe. Some moms worry that their babies will suffer long-term emotional effects from all this machinery, but there is no need to.

Context Misdiagnoses may be an underappreciated cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU). Their prevalence, nature, and impact remain largely unknown.
Objectives To determine whether potentially fatal ICU misdiagnoses would be more common than in the general inpatient population (∼5%), and would involve more infections or vascular events.
Data sources Systematic review of studies identified by electronic (MEDLINE, etc.) and manual searches (references in eligible articles) without language restriction (1966 through 2011).
Study selection and data abstraction Observational studies examining autopsy-confirmed diagnostic errors in the adult ICU were included. Studies analysing misdiagnosis of one specific disease were excluded. Study results (autopsy rate, misdiagnosis prevalence, Goldman error class, diseases misdiagnosed) were abstracted and descriptive statistics calculated. We modelled the prevalence of Class I (potentially lethal) misdiagnoses as a non-linear function of the autopsy rate.
Results Of 276 screened abstracts, 31 studies describing 5863 autopsies (median rate 43%) were analysed. The prevalence of misdiagnoses ranged from 5.5%–100% with 28% of autopsies reporting at least one misdiagnosis and 8% identifying a Class I diagnostic error. The projected prevalence of Class I misdiagnoses for a hypothetical autopsy rate of 100% was 6.3% (95% CI 4.0% to 7.5%). Vascular events and infections were the leading lethal misdiagnoses (41% each). The most common individual Class I misdiagnoses were PE, MI, pneumonia, and aspergillosis.
Conclusions Our data suggest that as many as 40 500 adult patients in an ICU in USA may die with an ICU misdiagnoses annually. Despite this, diagnostic errors receive relatively little attention and research funding. Future studies should seek to prospectively measure the prevalence and impact of diagnostic errors and potential strategies to reduce them.

Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors
A. mexicanum has become vulnerable in the wild. The major threats to its continued existence are land drainage and the growth of Mexico City. Various efforts at flood control and sewage disposal starting in the seventeenth century have led to serious damage to the lake complex. The digging of wells for the burgeoning population of Mexico City has also caused drying of the valley in which the lakes are located. The largest of the lakes, Texcoco, has been greatly diminished in size, while Lake Chalco has all but disappeared. Xochimilco has likewise suffered a decline in size and water quality (Griffiths et al. 1988). A further threat specific to A. mexicanum is its commercial sale as food in the markets of Mexico (Utah's Hogle Zoo 2003).

Upon much recommendation, I recently read "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. (It was a #1 best seller and what's that? I'm slow on the uptake? Yes, I know.) Today as I was struggling with my strep throat.. again… and feeling just pretty much the lead in my pity party, I finished the last chapter on the porch of our tiny condo in Seattle.
She explains something the Zen Buddhists believe, that an oak tree is brought in to creation by two forces: One being the actual acorn and the other being the will of the future oak tree. That during the growth, the older version of the oak tree leans in and whispers "GROW" to its younger self urging it on to the final version of itself. She says she feels much the same way through her spiritual journey, that her self confident, peaceful self breathed wisdom to her younger, more uncertain self. She found that all along she knew it would be OK in the end, that God or Self or Universe is forever finding the balance of truth and happiness.
I grew teary reading this.
Perhaps it's the hangover of antibiotics and the insane amounts of water I've had, or delusions from the fever itself, but there is a simple clarity to this ideal. Something inside me clicks. Something whispers "yes."
After a sorted religious background trying on denominations like shoes, finding which fit and don't squeeze too tight but give freedom and comfort and support, I find that I prefer to live barefoot.
This will send my mother in to fits of tears and my Christian friends to their knees on my behalf, but if I am being honest, and I see no other way to live if I am to find truth, sincerity, and peace, I can no longer pretend that I am seeking an external source of happiness. I am no longer seeking. I am finding.
I've been internalizing a great many things of late: not only of the spiritual, less tangible aspect to life, but also the physical wellness (not only brought on by a two years solid of illness and medicines and doctors). I am finding the link between wholesome foods, plenty of water, exercise and spiritual and mental health. There is no body without the soul and there is no fuel for your soul while your body fights toxins.
By god, I'm going hippie on you.
This isn't sudden, nor is it a single product of one event, but rather the culminating of several events coming to head at once. I've seen Christians breathing hostility and anger and I've found Atheist to be loving, truthful, and honest. I've found a community that welcome all people and turns away none and I've walked in to churches judged before I sat down.
There is no correlation to religion and goodness within people.
I've seen that I am in charge of my own decisions, that I decide with whom to invest my heart and time with and where I spend my words and thoughts. I can use those for the greater good of my soul and my friendships and family members or I can use them to cook and boil the angry waters of unfairness.
This path is 9 years in coming, not a day, not a month, not a year. I'll continue to share with you the path as it fell, starting one night on the Gulf of Mexico digging my feet in the warn Galveston sand talking politics and religion, to sitting on my porch in my tiny condo in Seattle, nine years, three states, two kids and one marriage later.
Welcome to the transformation.
I'm a Christian, but not of the turn-or-burn variety. More like a there-are-many-paths-up-the-same-mountain kinda girl. It's good to know that other people have similar views.

"There is no correlation to religion and goodness within people."
Well apparently that line is the big resonator today!!
By Dawn on 2009 05 24
i am on that same path somewhat. for me it was meeting people who were honest and sincere and confident in their beliefs…all kinds of beliefs…that started me questioning. not so much the christians who judged, hated, or were hypocritical in their ways.
i almost hate publishing this comment because of who might read it, but i wanted to let you know you aren't alone in this journey!
By natalie on 2009 05 24
Good for you! I am a Christian, but I believe that we all make our own paths…some of us choose God, some of us choose nature, some of us choose the beauty in ourselves and others. I choose a little bit of all of these, really. And probably more.
You'll have a lot of people here along for the ride.
Side note: the little black dress design is fabulous.
By Jen on 2009 05 24
I'm on the path you're taking. I grew up in church (have you seen Footloose? THAT was the church I grew up in- EXACTLY) an then I decided god wasn't for me, then I went back to god and became a christian. Now I'm not really sure. I'm finding that right now, I have no idea where I am really and I'm just on my own path trying to find what I believe.
By perksofbeingme on 2009 05 24
I have been a Christian all my life (and have found myself recently cringing at even calling myself that for many of the reasons you talk about here,) and have found myself rejecting the religion part of it all, but not rejecting a relationship with God. I'm all about growing too. Growing is good. Being static and stuck and thinking you've got it all figured out and never changing: bad.
By sarahgrace on 2009 05 24
We all have transformations, some religious, some life-changing, some just plain weird. Celebrate yours.
By Jenn Hughes on 2009 05 24
Exactly!!! I'm one of those weirdos who feels more at peace/serene/in touch with whatever spiritual/deity thing when I'm outside doing stuff like planting/weeding or picking huckleberries in the forest or whatever.
"There is no correlation to religion and goodness within people."
Amen. IME, I've almost had a direct opposite correlation. *sigh*

Cool, it worked. Will add you to my blogroll.
By Jenn Scholz Hughes on 2009 05 25
Well my dear, this will surprise you if not shock you into next Year.
I cannot find a church home that I feel fulfills me. Yes, I am still a christian and I walk daily with God. Jesus didn't have walls which defined "the sabbath day" that kept us all from hell but the following is what I am grounded in.
"Jesus? enemies put Him in the grave on Friday celebrating their victory, but Sunday morning was a different story. The grave could not hold Him. Death couldn?t contain Him. The forces of darkness couldn?t stop Him. On the third day, Jesus came out of the grave and He said, ?I was dead, but now I am alive forevermore.?
One principle that the resurrection teaches us is that God will always finish what He started. No matter how dark it looks, no matter how long it?s been, no matter how many people are trying to push you down; if you will stay in faith, God will always take you from Friday to Sunday. You will see your day of breakthrough because God will complete what He started."
Yes, I have peaks and valleys in life. I have certainly learned through this past year while getting certified, God brought me around to where my enemy was and we are completing my task together. My darkness on this earth will be overcome. I see a possibility of my next journey and yes, another enemy awaits me.
God said that if you are going through a dark time, remember that your day of resurrection, your ?Sunday? is on the way! "Keep standing, keep believing, because soon you will rise up into the higher places He has in store for you!"
I rejoice daily that God is beside me and so happy that in the end, I will be with him forever.
By Oma Flinger on 2009 05 25
Sounds great, Les. I think we all have to find a path in life that we feel right walking on.
I also think that it's a continual process - you could alter your path still, or take a fork. Or even just plant new trees on it along the way. And I'm thinking that you've been on it really for longer than 9 years, and that you'll keep walking it for as long as you keep on keeping on. It's your life path, your destiny, your thoughts, heart, and soul. I know that my path has changed over and over again and I've refined it over time, sometimes changing its direction completely, but I'm always still willing to think about it, decide how I feel about it, and modify it if need be. That is, my path doesn't have to remain rigidly stuck under one definition, leading only in one direction forever. Dig?
I did want to point out that I've seen hostility and anger, as well as love, truth, and honesty in all types of people - of all kinds of faith or lack thereof. I feel like your statement, "There is no correlation to religion and goodness within people" is really very true. We are all capable of a wide range of things along a practically infinite continuum. None of us is automatically right based on any one of them.
By Sarcastic Mom on 2009 05 25
I grew up church hopping. My mom tried out different religions and none fit. I came to think that I would never believe in any kind of organized religion. I'm 28 now, and 2 years ago I became a Christian. It was sudden, and one of the craziest things that's ever happened - it happened in a moment, something clicked.
But, I believe I would have been a good person either way. There are bad Christians and really good Atheists. I believe that what matters most is respecting our fellow humans, finding a community we fit into, and having lives full of happiness while also helping our fellow humans in whatever way we are able.
It feels good to find that fit, and I'm happy for you!

Love this post. Love.
I've been going through the same transformation myself since I was 16. Oh the harm people (including my family) do in the name of love for their god.
I am agnostic coming from a very Mormon family. My husband learns toward Buddhism coming from a very Catholic family. It has at times infuriated both sides of our family.
I however love how we whisper to our three children to "grow" without the stifling entrapments of pre-judgments and entanglements of organized religion as my husband and I were.
Nothing brings it more home to me than the furor over Prop. 8 in California. Religious belief trumped a personal love of one individual with another.
It hurts my heart and yes, created a schism in my family when they discovered my blog. Their judgment and silence toward me as been deafening.
One aside, did you try on the Unitarians? Their embrace of all religions: Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Paganism, etc. appeals to me. We just haven't taken the time to slow down and breathe.
The Bellevue Unitarian church says on their website: "Unitarian Universalists believe that personal experience, conscience and reason should be the final authorities in religion. In the end, religious authority lies not in a book, person, or institution, but in ourselves. We put religious insights to the test of our hearts and minds. Ours is a free faith."
We haven't been, but I find incredible value in finding a community of like-minded individuals. Yes, an oak tree is strong alone, but a grove is better to stand together.
Good luck!

True, true, true! I Love it!
By KC on 2009 05 27
I too recently read Eat, Pray, Love. I was holding out because the woman was divorced and I was not ready to deal w/ that reality because it is my life now.
I get your barefoot comment. Great imagery btw.
I too have been on journey that is still going on, and as I grow older I love that I know I am on it and balance is there. I can hear the whisper of "grow, it will be okay".
I also love feeling and knowing that I am in charge of my choices. I don't despise my religious upbringing, because I needed it to get me here. Do you feel the same?
By Sarah D on 2009 06 01
Be proud of what you believe! It's something to always cherish and share.
By Acai on 2009 06 04
It seems this has resonated with many people, including me. Raised Catholic, I now think of myself as more Agnostic, as in "I don't know". Because I don't. I know I don't like organized church/religion - it has never felt right for me. I know I don't like the judgemental aspects of church, and I don't like blind faith. I guess I'm Doubting Thomas. My family doesn't discuss because I think they'd prefer not to "officially" know of my rejection, but no longer attending church with them on Christmas and Easter is a big tip-off. I think I heard it described once as "Cultural Christians" in that I like the celebratory part of the holidays - the tree, the presents, Santa, Easter Bunny - the works. But can't support the religious parts behind those cultural images/rituals. Ultimately, we all have to follow the path that leads us to happiness and peace. It's a fun, interesting journey - enjoy the ride!

About Me Competitive Cyclist
Comments about Nashbar Bike Transport Bag:
Here's a pro tip - line this bag with large piece of cardboard or cut up a bike box to fit inside this bike bag, then get wheel bags for your wheels, placing some cardboard in the wheel bags. Tie something rigid to the crankset to protect the chain ring from resting on the bottom of the bag and of course use dummy blocks for your fork and rear triangle. It's cheap, you can store it at your destination easily by taking out the cardboard and other packaging material, or even find cardboard boxes to use in case you have to toss the box inside. It's got some additional padding for the bottom of the bag too. I've used this bag for at least 3 international trips and though it's got some tears in it, it works great and replacing it is pretty cheap.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Avoids airline fees !
By GBShaun
from San Diego
I've used this bag now for 3 trips to Europe, 2 to maui, and once domestically and have never paid any airline bike fees. It's a M/L hybrid bike and i put the wheels in paddded wheel bags which go inside this bag, then i take off the derailler hanger, cranks,seatpit and handlebar stem faceplate. With the loose parts in a bag in my suitcase, what's left is small and light enough I have never been asked for extra money. Only takes me 20 minutes to break down or reassemble.

Not quite large enough
By Geezer Don
from Grand Rapids, MI
About Me Casual/ Recreational
We had hoped to pack our hybrid bikes into the bags and load them into our SUV. We had the impression that taking off both wheels would be sufficient disassembly. Not so. The bags are not large enough to capture the handlebars no matter how we shift the load. Is there a longer version available.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great bag at a great price
By none
from new Castle De.
Ordered one to see if it fit the folding bike that I bought from West marine and it did, very generous size, so I ordered the second one for my husbands bike, we take the bikes on our boat and this was the perfect bag at an affordable price
Amazing value, excellent quality
By John
from Virginia
Excellent value, half the price of anything else I could find but really good quality. Pockets enable you to secure wheels and accessories, but can slide about a bit during transit. Ideal for the car or carrying on a train, but not ideal for putting on an aircraft.
Great Basic Bike Bag
By Pine Cone
from Wet Western WA
See all my reviews
This is the 4th one of these bags I have bought. I use them to store and transport folding bikes mostly. Keeps all the bike stuff together in one place, room for helmet & bike shoes in the bag if you want. Keeps the bike and its associated grease and grime away from everything else in your car. One bag has had some seam issues and needed some re-stitching, the rest are fine.
Apt description.
By The Local Cyclist
from Redding, CA
I used this for a 300 mi. Amtrak trip, and the bag made bringing the bike easy.
worked OK

I was able to transport my bike via Greyhound, but the fabric of the bag ripped on first use.

Great Bag. Luggage Handlers Not So Good!
By Waldo the Wanderer
from New York, NY
This bag is durable, well-sewn, and exactly as described. Bike fits easily with little hassle and plenty of space leftover for other stuff. This bag does not include padding/insulation, so beware that luggage handlers can still wreck your bike on flights.My carbon frame had a big chunk taken out of it by luggage handlers on an international flight from Heathrow to JFK. I had packed the bag with some clothes and bubble wrap as padding around the bike, but this was not sufficient. I've read some cyclists recommend wrapping bikes in plastic wrap instead of enclosing in bags/boxes in order to make the fragile bike more visible to luggage handlers. Not sure I trust that suggestion any better...
Merchant response: Hi Waldo, this bag is not intended to protect your bike while checked as luggage. It is intended to protect other things from getting dirty/greasy from your bike. For checked situations a hard case is the best solution - even then airlines seem to be able to damage anything. -Bike Nashbar

i'm currently working on getting eyes set up so the motor will only spin when there are no balls in the stack, but it's not doing too well so far.
my circuit consists of an IR detector and two transistors, but i can't seem to get enough power through the circuit to spin the motor fast enough.
can anyone guide me in the right direction or link me to somewhere that has done this before? thanks

Corps' water plan is all wet
Gov. Jack Dalrymple has our full support in his latest statement to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The governor in no uncertain terms told the Corps that the state is strongly opposed to any proposal that would charge cities, businesses, tribes, farmers, ranchers or others for access to Missouri River water.
Dalrymple's comments are just the latest in a long line of political comments that have all agreed: North Dakota users should not be charged for using water that already belongs to the state. State officials, along with the state's congressional delegation, have repeatedly told the Corps that North Dakota will vigorously defend its right to take water from the Missouri River for municipal and business uses.
Since 2010, the Corps has proposed charging for water to recover the costs of building the Garrison?Dam. In 2012, the Corps, after challenges from Dalrymple, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and the congressional delegation, said it would issue temporary, free permits while it created a water use policy. The Corps has issued exactly one such permit.
That's unacceptable, as Dalrymple pointed out again last week. The state gave up some 550,000 acres when the Garrison Dam was constructed, and the river water that flows through the state belongs to the state. Therefore, any plan to charge state users for the water is simply wrong.
Water from the Missouri River is vital to the future of North Dakota, from municipal uses to agricultural uses to oil industry uses. The Corps needs to end discussion of charging users for water that already belongs to the state.

Nice pie John. Is that room temperature water ( filtered? ) added at 65% Mark
John:Nice looking pies, as always. Which level of fermentation would you say gave you the best taste?Barry
Your results are interesting John. Norma
Especially in regard to mixtimes ...this dough has been touched so little it's almost virgin dough!!John
...since the folds are parallel to the floor, there are no longer any thin spots when stretching it out, the dough is beautiful to work with....
This really resonates with me. I sometimes find myself with very thin centers and thicker edges when I reball, and I attribute it to the fact that I am creating a big hole in the middle of the dough ball where I am wrapping the dough ball over itself. I do try to seal it up but unless I give it a good 24 hours it often seems thin in the middle when I open the dough ball. So maybe the S&F approach will eliminate that?
Ditto, I stopped reballing all together due to the unevenness of the final dough. I really like the idea of a S&F instead. Sometimes simple solutions to problems are not so obvious, I think this is a great example.
I have a question.It is the higher hydration that cause it to be tender or is truly the lack over mixing?I have been doing this but slightly different for a long time. I like high hydration pizzas in the 70 to 80% range. It is the most practical way to mix.I have seen and tried what peter advocated but I find that using the paddle attachment does not work well. the problem is as soon as the dough comes together then it rides on the paddle and mixes very little more. Than you have a mess to get off the paddle.I have a heave duty spatula. I mix for a minute to bring dough together. let sit over the next few hours fold in with the spatula 3 to 5 times very clean and neat. I leave the spatula in a glass of water or in a little oil between folds. I leave out on the counter until it is very active. then in the cooler overnight.I alway though the dough was so tender because of high hydration not because of the mixing technique?
The stretch and fold method is probably the best method for creating artisan hearth baked breads. This method was popularized most recently by Chad Robertson at Tartine and I've used it successfully for bread and pizza. However, I don't agree with Reinhardt's method completely. The autolyse is way too short and you should be waiting around 20-40 minutes between folds. I typically fold every 30 min and autolyse for 30-60 min depending on what flour I'm using.
JohnI have tied what you suggest. It works well. but it is less work and less mess just to go around the outside of the dough and using the stiff spatula shown in the photo to turn the dough onto it is self. it truly is stretch and fold.I have used a long time. I just did not realized that it worked at hydrations below 65%Sonny
I made my first (emergency) Neapolitan pizza using three stretch-and-folds (5 minutes between). 2- hour room temp ferment. The formulation was:Antimo Caputo 00 Flour - 100%Water - 62%IDY- 0.78% (yeah , I know...so shoot me)Salt - 2%Baked @900 for 90 seconds in my Blackstone. I'll leave it to you to decide how successful it was. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Don't support cruelty to animals at circus
To the editor:
Cruelty to animals takes many forms, but few people would admit to emjoying it. However, attending the circus is just such support.
Cruel training methods, cramped and degradeing living and traveling conditions and stupid tricks define all circuses. If you consider yourself humane, avoid the circus and learn more from PETA.org.
A special evening is in store for those attending Tippi Hedren's program May 1. She has given refuge to big cats and elephants from circuses. They are the lucky ones.

NYPA Awards Contract to Gouverneur Firm for Eel Ladder
Michael Saltzman
September 2, 2005
MASSENA—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has awarded a $1.65 million contract to B-S Industrial Contracting, Inc., of Gouverneur, for construction of an eel ladder at the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project, to be completed by next spring.
Studies conducted as part of the process leading to the relicensing of the NYPA hydroelectric project identified a need for the ladder, or passageway.
"The upstream eel ladder will provide safe passage over the St. Lawrence-FDR Project's Robert Moses Power Dam to the upper St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, where migrating eels will grow and mature prior to returning to the ocean," said Eugene W. Zeltmann, NYPA President and Chief Executive Officer. "The ladder is one of the wide-ranging fish and wildlife measures we committed to in connection with the 50-year federal license issued for the hydroelectric project in late 2003 by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [FERC]. We're looking forward to its construction."
B-S Industrial submitted the low bid for the eel ladder construction, competing against three other firms, from New York and Connecticut, who also provided proposals. The Gouverneur company previously installed an eel ladder for Brascan Power, at its Oswego Falls hydro facility on the Oswego River, a tributary to Lake Ontario. Its work experience also includes installation of heavy-duty equipment at Alcoa and GM Powertrain facilities, in Massena.
FERC approved the design of the eel ladder last week. The Power Authority also consulted with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation concerning the ladder.
A unique feature of the ladder system is that the eels will be safely delivered to a release point approximately 900 feet beyond the power dam.
NYPA plans to spend about $66 million for fish and wildlife projects as part of its St. Lawrence-FDR license commitments to enhance the St. Lawrence River environment and area tourism. It also is spending millions of dollars more for improvements and enhancements for parks and other recreational facilities in the area, with some of those initiatives already completed.
The 800,000-kilowatt St. Lawrence-FDR project, which began producing electricity in 1958, provides low-cost power for Alcoa, GM Powertrain, and three investor-owned utilities, for resale without profit to their residential and farm customers.

Tread lightly on your ATV
The number of all-terrain vehicle riders is increasing every year.
Today, more than 16 million people in the U.S. enjoy riding all-terrain vehicles.
In Wisconsin, ATV riding is overtaking the number of snowmobilers, reports the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
ATV riding also is getting the attention from land managers as they try to balance its popularity with protecting the natural resources.
Tread Lightly, a nonprofit organization formed in 1990, encourages people to recreate responsibly. As part of that mission, Tread Lightly has issued some tips on minimizing environmental impact from ATV's.
1. Stay only on roads, trails or other areas designated for ATV use.
2. Try to stay in the middle of the trail to avoid widening it.
3. Cross streams only at bridges or at designated fording points during low water periods, where the trail crosses the stream. Approach the stream slowly, crossing at a 90 -degree angle. In Wisconsin it is illegal to operate in streams, rivers, and wetlands off of the trail.
5. On slick trails, moderate the throttle and use the clutch to gain maximum traction with minimum wheel-spin.
6. Try to avoid muddy trails, save then for future trips when they are dry.
7. Pack out what you pack in. Carry a trash bag on your vehicle and pick up litter left by others.
8. Following a ride, wash you ATV and support vehicle to avoid spreading noxious weeds the next time you ride.
9. Observe proper human waste disposal. Bury your waster at least six inches deep and camouflage the hole or pack out your waste.
10. Take an ATV training course to maximize safety. Always wear a helmet, eye protection and other safety gear.
To find places to ride, ATV enthusiasts should contact local Department of Natural Resources officials.
Additionally, experts offer the following riding safety tips:
– ATVs are designed for one operator only. Never carry a passenger.
– ATVs are for off-road use only. Never operate an ATV on paved surfaces. Never operate an ATV on public roads where riding on the road is prohibited.
– Protective clothing is a necessity. Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants and a long sleeved shirt or jacket.
– Never consume alcohol or drugs before or during ATV operation.
– Avoid excessive speeds. Travel at a speed appropriate for the terrain, visibility conditions, and your experience.
– Do not attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts. These can have disastrous results.
– An ATV is not a toy. Children should not be permitted to operate ATVs without specialized training and then they should be allowed to only operate an ATV of an appropriate size.
– ATVs with an engine size of 70cc to 90cc should be operated by people at least 12 years of age. ATVs with an engine size of greater than 90cc should only be operated by people at least 16 years of age.
– Wear appropriate riding gear including approved helmet, goggles, gloves, over-the-ankle boots, long-sleeve shirt and long pants.
– Read owners manuals carefully.
– Any added attachments affect the stability, operating and braking of the ATV. Just because an attachment is available doesn't mean that it can be used without increasing your risk of being injured.
– Are tires and wheels in good condition?
– Are controls and cable operational?
– Does the chain have proper slack and is it lubricated?
– Is riding gear (including a helmet) available and worn?
Additionally, Wisconsin law requires those who use Wisconsin ATV trails to display either Wisconsin registration or an ATV trail pass.
Funds from this program will be designated for use as trail aids and related costs to enhance all Wisconsin ATV recreation.
The trail pass can be purchased online at the Wisconsin Online Licensing Center or over the counter at any license sales location.
In Michigan, owners of ORVs are required to obtain a title for an ORV through the Secretary of State; and license the ORV with the Department of Natural Resources.
A Michigan title is not required on nonresident ORVs used in Michigan.

Expert Q & A Answers About HIV and Aids
What are common symptoms of HIV/AIDS?
If you get HIV/AIDS, what is the most common thing you feel?
I'm too scared to get tested for HIV...what should I do?
I am a 22-year-old college student and have been with 14 partners. Three of them did not wear condoms. I had an STD a while ago, but nothing since then. I also get yearly exams and haven't had sex in over a year. But I'm worried that I might have AIDS. I feel almost crazy thinking about it…and I'm too scared to get tested. What should I do?
I have symptoms similar to the flu...could I have HIV?
I had unprotected sex a few times and have these symptoms: itchy genitals, constant itching all over my body, uncontrollable shaking and twitching, trouble sleeping and lumpy, stringy sperm. I also wake up sweating, feel sick often and don't get hungry. My body is extra-sensitive to touch. I have been tested for STDs, including HIV/AIDS, and the tests have come back negative. I've also been diagnosed with depression, but the medications they gave me aren't making these symptoms go away. Could I have HIV/AIDS?
Can I get HIV from sharing food or utensils?
My friend and I were eating Japanese food and she took the chopsticks out of her mouth and stuck them in my hot noodle soup. I know for a fact that she has had multiple partners and hasn't been tested for AIDS. I also have a small blister in my mouth that I'm worried makes me more susceptible to STDs. Should I be concerned?
What are HIV and AIDS?
I hear a lot about them, but I'm confused about the difference between HIV and AIDS. Can you help?

The "Looking Back" section of yesterday's Fairbanks Daily News Miner reported that on that day fifty years ago (February 11, 1963) an aircraft from Fairbanks was the object of an search along a Canadian stretch of the Alaska Highway. The missing aircraft, a single engine Howard, was on its way to San Francisco. As a kid growing up in Fairbanks when this story first hit the papers, I followed with the rest of the country as the search, in severe winter conditions unfolded. Initially searchers had no luck finding the downed aircraft. Missing was 42 year old pilot Ralph Flores and his passenger, 21 year Helen Klaben, who had been sharing expenses for what was planned to be a three-day trip from Fairbanks down the Alaska Highway.
As the days passed, searchers found no trace of the missing pair. Winter temperatures in the areas plunged to 40 below and colder, and hopes begin to fade. After two weeks, search efforts were called off, with the assumption that no one was able to survive in those conditions.
It definitely made headlines when 49 days after their disappearance the couple was found— ALIVE! Not equipped with conventional survival gear, the little food they were carrying had been consumed in the first few days, leaving them to survive on melted snow and a tube of toothpaste for the better part of 40 days in the sub-Arctic wilderness. Both had sustained injuries in the crash, so how did they survive?
Years later as a relatively new pilot, I attended a seminar organized by the Alaskan Aviation Safety Foundation on survival skills, taught by the late Ray Tremblay. He used the Flores/Klaben accident to illustrate several aspects of a survival situation. Having no conventional survival equipment (sleeping bags, axe, firearm, food, etc.), they managed to survive 49 days in the wilderness in sub-zero temperatures. How did they accomplish this feat, which would today challenge seasoned professionals? Tremblay studied the case in detail and came up with his own answers, in part from the account of the ordeal written by Helen Kalben in her book, "Hey, I'm Alive."
There were two aspects of this accident that Tremblay suggested held important lessons to consider:
- Conventional wisdom is to stay with your airplane, in a survival situation in the wilderness. Not only is the aircraft easier to see from the air than a human, but it may supply a wealth of materials to use if you are stuck for an extended period. In this case, the victims could hear search aircraft, but couldn't attract their attention due the wooded nature of the crash site. About five weeks after the accident, they moved to a more open area, and made a signal which was spotted by a pilot making a routine flight a few days later. His point was this: conventional wisdom is valuable, but you have to consider all the factors and come up with the best course of action for the situation you find yourself in. Had they moved sooner, rescue undoubtedly would have been earlier. Had they not moved, their survival would have been in doubt.
- As the ordeal progressed, Flores attempted to convert Klaben to his religion. Both were reasonably strong willed. The discussions and mental conflict between the two kept them occupied, and provided a continued reason not to give up. Tremblay impressed upon us not to overlook the role mental attitude plays (not necessarily always conflict) in a survival situation.
In addition to carrying standard items like food, first aid kit, signaling devices, and a sleeping bag in my survival gear, I include reading material to occupy the mind, in the event of a forced landing. Even in non-emergency situations, I have found it valuable to read a chapter of a book while waiting for conditions to improve, to help reduce the temptation to "push the weather." And if push comes to shove, I can always use the pages to light a fire…
Helen Kaben did us a favor in writing her book, published within a year of the accident, that provides a detailed first-person account of the ordeal. There are many factors that went into the success of this situation, leading to their survival. I recommend it for those interested in survival stories.
I will be watching the "Looking Back" section of the Fairbanks paper during the weeks ahead to see if other accounts of this story surface, and how it was reported, a half century ago.

Workshop Series Focuses On Climate Change
"Climate Change: Local & Global" will be explored in the Teaching With Primary Sources workshop series for area school educators and librarians on Thursday, Jan. 24, at Jamestown Community College.
The workshops are designed to assist library media specialists, pre-service, science, English language arts and social studies teachers address common core learning standards.
The Jan. 24 program, featuring Kim Weborg-Benson, will be held in Room 120 of JCC's Science Center from 4:30-7 p.m. To register, call Pam Brown at 483-4340 or email pbrown@jamestow n.wnyric.org.
The Teaching with Primary Sources project brings together key educators in science and social studies for professional development sessions based on primary sources and educational resources at the Library of Congress and provides pragmatic solutions in applying them to standards within the classroom.
The sessions address general misconceptions in the sciences and encourage and develop cooperation and discussion among social studies, ELA, and math/science educators. Each session begins with an introduction to the Library of Congress' digital primary sources and professional development resources such as TPS Direct. A topic specific presentation on a science subject by an expert in the field is also included.
Each session concludes with a presentation linking the specific subject matter to Library of Congress online resources and ways to integrate it into the curriculum. Participants will learn how to navigate the online library, explore primary sources, analyze primary and secondary sources, and determine how to legally and ethically use digital resources and teach inquiry-based activities with primary sources.
Library of Congress materials will be disseminated in conjunction with local and natural topics in the sciences on a monthly basis either at JCC or the Robert H. Jackson Center. Pam Brown and Julie Livengood, co-directors of the TPS project, provide instruction on accessing the library's primary sources and provide an easily applied lesson aligning reading, writing, and the workshop topic in the CCLS model.
Future presentations include "New Horizons in Biotechnology," "America's Past Munitions Development and Local Production," "Niagara Falls & Power Production in the Future," and "Patients: Innovation & Science by Surprise."
The workshops include dinner and three contact hours that can be applied toward teachers' Annual Professional Performance Review. Registration is required and space is limited.

In a world plagued with Kim Kardashian gossip, Miley Cyrus tweets and Justin Bieber selfies, TED Talks broadcast ideas worth spreading. TED—which stands for technology, entertainment, design—annual conferences began in 1990, and have spawned a series of global, independently organized events. On November 15, the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience will host TEDxJupiter. This all-day event features a variety of local speakers covering a myriad of topics all in 18 minutes or less.
|Jeramy Pritchett
TEDxJupiter is an example of one of the self-organized experiences inspired by the spirit of TED Talks. With the goal of sharing "bold ideas that generate positive change," the event includes speakers from many fields, such as the arts, magazine publishing, education and the sciences. At the moment, speakers include performance artist Pete Marzilli; Dr. Corinne Lasmezas of the Scripps Research Institute; Stan Bronson, the executive director of the Florida Earth Foundation; Jeramy Pritchett, editor-in-chief of Blindfold Magazine; Provost of Palm Beach State College, Dr. Jean Wihbey; and Jason "Farmer Jay" McCobb, an expert in sustainable agriculture. The lineup is in step with the mission of the TEDx program, which is to provide "communities, organizations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level."
- Tickets for the event are $75 and include a continental breakfast, luncheon and post-event cocktail reception.
Thinking about attending? To provide you with a better idea of what a TED-like experience looks like, I've compiled a list of some of my favorites from the annual conferences.
- Susan Cain, The Power of Introverts. This TED Talk has over 5 million views, and for good reason. Writer Susan Cain outlines the benefits to introversion and explains the perils to living in a world designed for and around extroverts.
- Aimee Mullins, My 12 Pairs of Legs. Mullins is a model, but she's far from "perfect." Mullins is also a double amputee and, in her TED Talk, she introduces her many pairs of legs that allow her to change her height, as well as the perspective of others.
- Eric Whitacre, A Virtual Choir 2,000 Voices Strong: Composer Eric Whitacre, who visited the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach earlier this year, speaks about his virtual choir, which he created by posting a piece of music online and asking singers from around the globe to upload videos.
- Brené Brown, The Power of Vulnerability: In a culture that values strength and resilience, what virtues are offered to the vulnerable? Researcher Brené Brown argues that there are many.
- TED Under 20: This is not one talk, but a collection of 13 talks all from teenagers. In one word, they're inspiring.

As Rational Optimists, We Believe We Can Overcome Ecological Overshoot
Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist, asserts in his April 26, 2014 Wall Street Journal opinion piece that human ingenuity has broken through resource barriers over and over again.
The reality is that sometimes innovation has overcome ecological limits (such as photovoltaics, fertilizers, LED lamps and glass fiber replacing copper) and sometimes it has not (such as ecological collapse in Mayan civilization, Easter Island and Haiti). Technology can enable higher resource dependence (as it has with airplanes) or reduce overall demand (as it has with recycling factories). The question is which of the two is gaining the upper hand.
That's why Global Footprint Network provides ecological resource accounting to document human demand against the planet's regenerative capacity. Both demand and regeneration change annually. We do not assume fixed ecological limits, contrary to Ridley's claim.
Our accounting builds on simple principles. Human demand competes for biologically productive surfaces. Therefore human demand can be added up and compared against the productive surfaces available.
We encourage others to test whether our numbers hold up to scrutiny. More than 10 countries and international agencies have reviewed the National Footprint Accounts. Their reports are available on our website.
Global Footprint Network is not proposing that humanity has to fail. On the contrary. We do our work because we believe that humanity can live within nature's budget. But just as with money, overspending is easy without accounting. Bankruptcy is an option both financially and ecologically. We offer ecological resource accounting tools to make ecological bankruptcy less likely. And just like financial management, resource management does not happen on its own. It requires accurate accounting that can inform prudent choices.
As rational optimists, we believe we can overcome ecological overshoot.

New Data Shows Humanity's Ecological Debt Compounding
At the current rate humanity is using natural resources and producing waste, by the mid-2030s we will require the resources of two planets to meet our demands, according to figures released today by Global Footprint Network. The data comes at a critical time, as the economic crisis felt around the globe has made it painstakingly clear: Debt and overspending can continue for a while but ultimately have dire consequences.

U.S. adds three road medals
Muffy Davis won her first ever individual Paralympic gold medal Wednesday at the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
BRANDS HATCH, England – Following a four medal performance on Wednesday morning, the U.S. Paralympic Cycling Team added three medals in the afternoon to close out the first day of the road cycling competition with seven total medals. The U.S. cyclists won five medals in all track events combined.
Muffy Davis (Salt Lake City, Utah) won gold in the Individual H1-2 Time Trial. Monica Bascio (Evergreen, Colo.) won silver in the Individual H3 Time Trial and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Oz Sanchez (San Diego, Calif.) won bronze in the Individual H4 Time Trial.
"It was a great course, very challenging," Davis said. "It played to my strengths - I'm a power rider, so good and strong on the hills. I mean, they're hard, it's a hard course. The road race, we have to do six laps, so it definitely deserves respect. The course, it's not easy, it is technical, it's hilly, you really have to think a lot out there and you have to respect it and pace yourself. But it was wonderful."
Her time of 31:06.39 put her ahead of Great Britain's Karen Darke. American Alicia Dana (Putney, Vt.), making her debut at the Paralympic Games, finished fifth with a time of 18:37.82.
"I didn't expect to be competing in another Paralympics," said Davis, who also competes in winter sports. "My last Games were 10 years ago. I didn't expect to be back in Paralympic competition. I started riding my bike to get back in shape after having my daughter. I love cycling."
Davis is not done with her quest for gold.
"I've got two more races, I'd like two more medals," she said. "I'm not done, I'm just starting. Rio. I would love to. If my body holds out, I'm not a spring chicken anymore."
Sanchez finished third in his race with a 12:42.24, behind Italy's Alessandro Zanardi (12:11.13) and Germany's Norbert Mosandly (12:24.46).

Excellent service, another happy customer!
Very impressed with Patrick and his garage. Keeps you up to date with everything. Very professional. A very trustful and knowledgable mechanic who I shall be recommending to friends and family. . . . Looks like I've found myself a new mechanic for me and my wife's car!
I had a problem with very bad shaking at speed. Patrick picked up the car at the agreed time and confirmed the diagnosis was the passenger side front caliper causing the breaks to stick after warming up. Kept me updated with every development, which I really liked. Quoted me a price to replace the relevant parts, including brake service, and sorted the issue the same day. The car drives like new now. Patrick knows his stuff, is very customer focused, and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. He'll be the first person I call when I have any future issues. A credit to his trade. Thanks.
Very friendly, brilliantly flexible service, made the whole experience stress-free. Will be recommending and using again.
Patrick did a fantastic job. He was polite and knowledgable and the work was done to a very high standard and delivered back quickly. Would highly recommend and deal with again. Thanks
Easy Going. Everything explained clearly and methodically. I will not hesitate to use again even though out of my area.
Fantastic service. Offered a range of options, fitted me in around my schedule and when I couldn't collect the car before closing time delivered it back home for me (I am just around the corner). Highly recommendable.
Highly recommended. Quick and friendly service. Would definitely use again
Even though price quoted is bit higher the brake is sorted on the same day with fixing rear new disc & brake pads.work done effectively while waiting near the car. Can recommend the work to anyone.
good work, good customer service
Excellent workmanship I am very pleased thank you very much
Excellent service, very happy with Daniel and his team, ended up spending more than i was prepared for but I was completely happy with service I received..
Excellent service. Picked up and delivered the car in the given time. Car also cleaned. Thanks Daniel for your honest and excelllent service --Regards Suresh Canning town
Daniel's friendliness and customer service is second to none. Audi A3 cambelt kit, water pump and coolant fitted. Work completed as scheduled at the price estimated. Car cleaned inside and out too. Can't fault the whole experience, I'm so happy I've found a mechanic I can trust.
Superb. Great customer service. Daniel is a person who will tell You what exactly need to be done and he's mechanic who is not inclined to rip his clients off. Also very clean garage. Great communication during the whole process - even if You are not there. I can honestly recommend!
Started off with a timing belt change. However, when got there Jagg explained to me other parts that may require attention and how it would be useful replacing those parts as well due to the labour work. So with my timing belt, I had my fan belt, power steering belt and water pump replaced. It's been about two weeks since I've had the job done and I must say I am very happy with the service and job. Thanks Jagg and will make sure to use your garage again.
Had clutch problems and couldn't move my car. Jagg managed to pick my car up and fix my clutch very quickly. Excellent customer service too, he was very friendly.
All done properly + some extras. Truely recommend!
Jagg is really a good guy!Customer service is efficient and the quote was fair. Job was done nice and neat!Kindly provided one year guarantee for the job and parts. Timely made explanations to avoid my doubts over brake fluid leak when the mechanic pushed pistol back without prior opening the fluid capping. Kindly did test drive to make sure the new discs and pads worked well. We later drove on up and down hill roads having not felt the brake performance compromised with the new parts, although initially we had a little bit concern about the performance and reliability of the not so familiar Bremsen pads and Automative Excellence discs. Thanks Jagg!Will recommend to friends!
The garage was very helpful friendly and honest. Work was done when they said it would be and also did extra work for me to get it through the MOT I'm extremely happy with the service and would recommend and use again. Thank you so much
They were great :)
If it would be possible I would give zero star for this garage. Outrageous service, I am not sure if I can call that "service". The owner of this garage is extremely rude, phlegmatic and DISRESPECTFUL! And according to my opinion he is probably racist towards Eastern-European people! First, we discussed the time and the date when for a 1 and half hour work to fix my car. But when I arrived there at the first time (in the arranged time), they did not fix my car because they said I am late. I am just saying we were communicating via this website in chat form, so I have everything in written form. I can prove everything. I was not late. I thought I can give them a second chance (because of their really good price), so we discussed the time and date again via this website, and I went there again in the arranged time, but the same thing happened, but this time the owner of the garage was even yelling to me! Their price offer was so good (£120 cheaper from any other offer), thus I gave them a third chance. But this time I called them before I go there (since I did not want to waste my time and fuel again), they confirmed I can go immediately and they will fix my car (they said it will take 1 and a half hour), but when I arriced there they said I was late again. I arrived there at 10AM and they said I need to leave my car there until 2PM. I told them I work with my car, the only reason I came here on this day in this time because they confirmed I can come here now for 90 minutes work. I told them again, I work with my car, then I got the usual answer from the owner of the garage: "not my problem". Then I left them without any word. They wasted my time and fuel, 3 times and my car is still not fixed! The owner has zero customer service skills, zero flexibility towards customers (his answer to everything: "not my problem, is it?" or "not my business, is it?"). I would never recommend this garage to anyone. Seriously anyone who reads this: AVOID THIS GARAGE!
I don't usually use sites like these to get my car repaired, but i was desperate, so i ended up using this site. Out of all of quotes i got, these guy's came out by FAR the cheapest, at least £100 cheaper than everybody. I thought at first there was a catch, like one of the previous garage's i called on here, they quoted £220 for just the labour and not the parts. But NO these guy's quoted me on exactly how much it would cost ! Quick service, no messing around. They even fitted in some missing clips on my front bumper which was nice of them. And also to top that i asked them how much it would cost to replace my back light bulb and they did that for free too ! Great, quick, reliable service. Will definitely be seeing these guy's again if something (Touch wood nothing) goes wrong ! Daniel.
Paul was very helpful even to the point of picking up my car and returning it. They did a great job. In a good time. I'm just sorry my insurance company were slow on paying up their end. Hopefully now resolved. I will be sending my mums car to him soon. Happy to recommend them to others. AK N14
No I would not recommend this garage. We paid for the vehicle delivered to your garage on the 23/03/16 for a Cam Belt change, we also had the Clutch replaced and Water Pump whilst you had the vehicle, with the understanding that we needed the vehicle back in time for a contract job we was doing. We picked the vehicle up and paid £1050.00 in which we paid when the invoice should have been for £950.00 because we supplied the cam belt kit and drive belt. We paid again for the vehicle to be returned to your garage because the battery went flat and didn't start on the 30/03/16 and then we had to hire a splitter van to replace ours, for 3 days at a rate of £130.00per day. We paid to have the vehicle to be picked up after you telling me that it was the battery at fault, so we agreed to offset the over payment for a new battery. We used the vehicle on 02/04/16 and that evening the vehicle lost lighting it went dim first and then all the warning lights started to come on. We lost the vehicle hire £100.00 for that day of the 02/04/16, and had subcontract hire at a rate of £150.00 for the 03/04/16 for not having a vehicle to for fill our contract. We did not return the vehicle, because of no confidence. We had the vehicle tested, and we was told that the Alternator was faulty so I replaced it myself after taking a photo of the of its position then still getting the right reading from the new Alternator the vehicle was taken to an Auto Electric Technician in which we found that your garage had put the alternator belt on incorrect so it was turning the wrong direction, so we didn't need a battery or an alternator because the vehicle never had a starting or charging problem before it went to you plus the damage to be repaired at a cost £150.00 This is a breakdown of our invoice to you of our losses.
No one made phone call to confirm the work or any sort of contact
Excellent, efficient, friendly service
