Reviews for this host's other properties
Nino was very kind. We had a great time at his apartment. Linen, kitchen, wi-fi, bathroom, TV…All the services were alright. We do suggest this location to enjoy Lisbon downtown. The street is quiet, though it is near to the Chiado and Bairro Alto. For sure, a good choice.
We had a very nice 1 week stay at the apartment which was clean and cozy and in a nice area in the heart of Lisbon.
You can reach Bairro Alto, the metro and the train station in about 10 Minutes by walking. Nino was a good host, who gave us advice for the city and reacted very promptly to any questions and messages. The only downsides were the missing light for the very narrrow staircase (which will probably be fixed soon). Also, we had to figure out, that for hot water, you have to turn the handles into the "cold" direction :) Personally, I would like to have a bigger bed for 2 people but thats more of a personal preference.
All in all we had a very nice stay and would stay again at this apartment.
We stayed in Nino's appartment last weekend, and we absolutely loved it! The appartments are very good, clean, and the furniture is super! THe appartment is in the best area one can be for a stay in lissabon: Right in the centre of Bairro Alto, with al the bars and restaurants in the area, but also very good locatetd to see all the beautiful things in Lissabon!
The host, Nino, is absolutely friendly, willing to help, answers all the questions you have very quickly etc. An excellent host!! We will certainly come back to Lissabon, it is a wonderful city! And then we will certainly stay in Nino's appartment again!!
Nino: thank you so much for everything!! We had a wonderful time!!
Very nice apartments on a perfect location in Lisbon! We missed a few basic things like a vacuum cleaner and other cleaning utilities. It ws great to spend our time in Lisbon living between the locals.
Well equiped apartment and perfectly located for sightseeing and clubbing
Apartments clean (although we found a Tampax was not ours in the bathroom) and very well located. However, I think they are not suitable for those traveling with children, the stairs of the goal had no light and it was pretty run down. Eye, because nothing else made the charge booking.
Apartamentos limpios (aunque encontramos un tampax que no era nuestro en el cuarto de baño) y muy bien situados. Sin embargo, creo que no son adecuados para quien viaje con niños, las escaleras del portal no tenía luz y éste estaba bastante deteriorado. Ojo, porque efectúan el cargo nada más hacer la reserva.
The apartment is ideally located in the heart of Bario Alto, close to the festive streets of Lisbon but without the inconvenience of noise. Very friendly reception and management without headaches. Both apts offer all the comforts for a very reasonable price. A great spot!
PS: providing a surplus of toilet paper!
L'appartement est idéalement situé en plein cœur du Bario Alto, tout proche des rues festives de Lisbonne mais sans les désagréments du bruit. Accueil très sympathique et gestion sans prise de tête. Les deux apparts offrent tout le confort nécessaire pour un prix plus que raisonnable. Un très bon spot !
PS : prévoir un surplus de papier toilette !
I stayed with my partner for a week in August at Nino's apartment, we decided to look around that area since I had previously lived in Lisbon and it seemed a perfect area to stay on vacation. Its location allows you to be in the center of Lisbon and at the same time away from tourism and feel the charm of Lisbon life, and less than a minute away is the viewpoint of Santa Catalina. The apartment is great, has many details that makes it more comfortable, and both the kitchen and the bathrooms are in excellent condition. Being a third party from both the bedroom and the living room views of the city are beautiful and important thing in the evening heat is not passed. In short it is a perfect place for a holiday or a stay in Lisbon.
Me alojé con mi pareja una semana en agosto en el apartamento de Nino, decidimos buscar por esa zona ya que yo había vivido antes en Lisboa y me parecía una zona perfecta para alojarnos en vacaciones. Su situación te permite estar en el centro de Lisboa y al mismo tiempo apartado del turismo y sentir el encanto de la vida lisboeta, además a menos de un minuto se encuentra el mirador de Santa Catalina. El apartamento es estupendo, cuenta con muchos detalles lo que hace que sea más confortable, además tanto la cocina como el baño se encuentran en perfecto estado. Al ser un tercero tanto desde el dormitorio como del salón las vistas de la ciudad son preciosas y algo importantes por la noche no se pasa calor. En resumen es un apartamento perfecto para pasar unas vacaciones o una estancia en Lisboa.
I stayed at Casa Nino for 5 nights in July, and enjoyed it a lot. It is cosy and modern despite being in an delightful old building, and in a wonderful location to boot! The welcome was friendly and warm.
A few small words of warning, just so you know: at the time of my visit it had no real desk (but I managed with the round kitchen table, so no real problem) and it does not have airconditioning (unless I missed that completely, but the apartment does not need it unless during a heat wave). Let none of this defer you however, this place is great and I recommend it fully!
The stay was great.. great location and very close to the buses and ocean itself.. Thanks for the wonderful place.

Direct the EPA to ban the use of Neonicotinoid pesticides, until proven that it does not negatively impact honeybees.
Numerous recent studies link the CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder) of honeybees to the use of certain Neonicotinoid pesticides (e.g. imidacloprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam).
Population of honeybee colonies has been dropping at an alarming rate since 2006. EPA keeps on ignoring the fact that there are effects from these pesticides on bee health. If honeybee health were of any concern to the EPA, the use of these pesticides would have been banned years ago. Countries such as France, England, Italy, Germany and Slovenia have banned at least some form of Neonicotinoids (e.g. for seed treatments).
EPA has agreed that there are "known acute toxicity of these compounds to pollinators" but has not even placed the use of these toxic pesticides on hold.

Like the rest of you, I'm trying to decrease the number of UFO's I have. Then, when I saw that some people were keeping track of the number of UFO's they have and subtracting when they complete them, I decided that this was a good idea. A good idea, yes, but I have made some discoveries.
1. I have entirely too many UFO's!
2. When I was going through and counting, I realized that I have at least two projects that I only have a picture for, and no instructions. This should be interesting.
3. I've had some of these UFO's so long that when I went back and looked at them, I thought, "What was I thinking?" Colors that are no longer in style, etc.
4. I took a project out to start today and realized that I must have been asleep when I cut out the pieces, because what the instructions say I need and what I actually cut out are two different things. The worst part? It's been in my "to do" pile for so long that the fabrics are no longer available, necessitating extra time to figure out how to adapt it to work with what I have.
Do you think, after discovering all of this, that in the future I might not procrastinate so much on getting these projects started? It's possible, but I'll think about it tomorrow...

"LEIGH SALES: At the Chilcot Inquiry the former British prime minister Tony Blair said that it wasn't enough to ask the 2003 question; that people should ask the 2010 question which is: What would the situation be now if the US and its allies hadn't invaded Iraq?Rekommenderar att ni ser hela videon från ABC News, eftersom Blix fortsätter att grusa Blairs och USA:s försvar.
What do you think?
HANS BLIX: Well I think that is this kind of defence of the Iraq war that they have thought out afterwards.
Before they went there they contended with no hesitation whatever that there were weapons of mass destruction and that they were in an imminent danger and that they had to go there.
If they had gone to the British Parliament and said that, well maybe there aren't weapons but he might reconstitute them, I don't think they'd have got an authorisation from the Parliament.
Nor do I think that the American Congress would have authorised the Americans.
So I think this is a defence that has been construed afterwards.
And moreover in substance I think it is doubtful that the Iraqis could have reconstituted the weapons. In 2003 Iraq was down on its knees and the UN system foresaw that there would be continued monitoring in the future. So if the Iraqis had allowed themselves to do anything the inspectors would have been able to report that."

Looking to obtain CEH, who do you recommend?
Anyway, I definitely want to get into penetration testing. I've done a little testing, mainly using NESSUS, at a previous job, but definitely dont have the experience or knowledge to thoroughly perform a test.
I recently obtained my CISSP, and the CEH is next on my list. Of course, I will do alot of reading before the training, but I want to ask you all which training facility/instructors you recommend. Hopefully (fingers crossed) my job will pick up the bill, and I wouldn't mind a free trip out of the deal as well.
Also, in terms of experience or background, what are the bare necessities going into a CEH bootcamp?
Thanks again for any and all advice.

Fall in the Grand Canyon

this is a trip i have been wanting to do for ages! i loved reading about your hike and loved your pictures.ReplyDelete
What an awesome tradition! You're dad sounds like a real amazing person (he's a bit older than I am and would absolutly grind me into the trail like a bug!) The GC is SUCH an amazing place...and it's diff in every season. I've never yet even made it down to the river, letaone a R2R (it's on my 'list', along with doing the whitewater raft trip down the Colo river). That you did this AND pacing Danni for a measly 50 miles (ON FOOT!) is just off the charts huge. You're an amazing athlete to be able to just whip this stuff out. As always, thanks for taking us along! Hope you kick that nasty headcold soon (not that it seems to have slowed you down any).ReplyDelete
Wow, rare conditions to get full aspen color and snow. I miss that place.ReplyDelete
My feet have never hurt as badly as the second time I did a R2R2R, with less than ideal prep. Stopped many times in the miles before Phantom to soak/numb my feet in the creek. Never have I been so glad to finally go uphill!
Awesome post! I would love to hike the Grand Canyon as a marathoner I think I could it, your post is very motivating and the pictures are wonderful. What you and your dad has is something special. Happy TrailsReplyDelete

Saw your tweet about the lack of comments / feedback on your blogposts and just wanted to say sorry. Have been one of those people who read everything and not comment for at least two years now. Anyway, please don't stop blogging, the silent mass of readers are there just not saying anything. If we have nothing interesting to say, better to say nothing is my take on it. I'm sure loads of us have bought the books though (i have and i loved the latest one) and we do appreciate the blog.

Jill, I've been reading your blog since May when I read about your accident at Monte Bello OSP on someone elses Twitter page. It's been captivating and you are a great Writer/Journalist. It's been interesting to read your impressions of the area as a newcomer since I've lived here all my life. I think you'll be surprised to know that is does snow in the Santa Cruz mnts. and there has actually been years when it had snowed 5-6 times with up to 1 ft of snow. Keep up the great writing and picture taking on here, Cheers, Tom CReplyDelete
your pics are great....you've probably been asked this a few times over the years. What camera did you use for this post?
Thanks all. The camera I often use on these camera-centric trips is a Sony Nex-3D, which has been a great camera. It has many of the capabilities of a DSLR in a point-and-shoot package, although there are removable lenses.ReplyDelete
And thanks for the comments. I do appreciate hearing from others in this increasingly fragmented Web landscape. Even though this is a personal blog that I keep for my own selfish reasons, I do enjoy hearing from others.
- Stan12:01 PM
For yours and your Dad's sake, make every effort to continue these trips while both of you can. One day, for whatever reason, you'll wake and realize that the 'last time' was the last time ever. Each one of these trips is an enduring treasure.ReplyDelete
BTW, I never had any real interest in visiting the Grand Canyon, but these photos are making me think again! Maybe sometime when the weather's cool...


text: Can someone please post or send me a pic of the screen accurate jet pack harness if there is one available. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But I thought that the waist or belly belt is a black strap with a divers clasp. But what goes over the shoulders? I don't remember where I saw it but I thought they were army green military back pack straps. Some one please help. I just got a new jet pack and I'm looking to make the harness as functional and screen accurate as I can. I know that you guys are the experts on this!

Discussion in 'Chevy Silverado Forum (GMC Sierra)' started by Opiewho, Mar 22, 2013.
Is there supposed to be something in the red circle? Looks like it should have a cover...
Looks like something for a cigarette lighter and some kind of tray. BTW how are you moving at about 60MPH when your engine is off and not driving??
I had a 2007 LS and it looked just like that. I think it's just a little cubby to put stuff.
ROFL, I saw that, too, and was going to comment!
As for what goes in that space, it's just a storage cubby. Consider that on vehicles with the full center console (like mine), the console extends from between the seats forward (all the way across the transmission hump) and mates with a different set of plastics in that region. However, they don't let it go to waste, as there's a pair of cubbies in the same location in said setup.

hard to tell, but maybe there is an option for an ASHTRAY ASSY that goes there? If you don't want that, maybe it came standard without it.
- - - Updated - - -
lol, good catch!
LOL, the gauge cluster has issues...speedometer needle doesn't move...at all, anytime. Cluster is actually out now and at DrSpeedometer.com getting fixed. :happy: Ashtray is actually the little pocket to the right of that "hole". Looks strange that it is open if it is supposed to be like that.
Honest Officer I was only doing 60 MPH.......:rofl:
We have that same cubby on all of our fleet trucks at work that are your body style, it's just for storage. I use it to keep my master set of machinery keys.
hey I would put preamp or band pass eq there to fill that spot in
No, you`re not missing anything there. It is a storage console. And there is an accessory power port for cell phones or whatever you want to plug in it.

Accommodation summary
|Via Francesco Giambullari, 00184 Roma, 意大利
The apartment is equipped with all amenities (WiFi internet, stereo, dishes, sheets, towels, microwave oven, espresso machine), and is located in a characteristic stable of the 30's, and consists of kitchen, bathroom, large closet, and 2 rooms fully renovated and furnished by an architect.
Even the choice of the name "Architects House" picks up the story of the house that once hosted the professional activity of 3 generations of architects. The apartment , well connected by 7 bus lines (3, 53, 85, 87, 117, 571 and 810) and close to both metro lines (line A stop Manzoni and line B stop Colosseo ), is an excellent starting point for visiting every historical and artistic beauty of the city.
Ideal for moments of relaxation, moving around on foot, you can discover restaurants, pubs and bars in the neighborhood "Quartiere Monti" and in summer, within a 5 minutes' walk away, you can dive into a swimming pool set in lovely Roman ruins.
住宿规定For smokers: Please smoke only in the kitchen!
|Check-in before
We had a pleasant stay in this apartment. Ursula is a great hostess and she is very helpful. From our arrival she helped us by giving us directions to the flat with public transport. The flat itself is on the ground floor so one can hear the cars during the day, but at night it's very quiet. We weren't home during the day anyway. There was everything we needed in there. And the location was perfect as it is 10 minutes from the colosseum and 20 minutes from the Termini train station. I will rent it again next time I'm in Rome.
She was a perfect host, very kind and friendly. The only problem was the temperature: too warm. But we recommend it, absolutely!
We enjoyed our stay in Rome very much. Ursula is a very warm hostess. The apartment is centrally located and the beds are super comfortable. Since it is basically a little louder in Rome it is advisable to bring earplugs . Ursula has good ideas to explore the city and good restaurants and bars are within walking distance . We can recommend Ursula and her home very much! We will gladly come again ☺
We loved our stay at Ursula's apartment. We were very comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. We loved being near the Colosseum, a nice park and several really good restaurants. Ursula was extremely nice and helpful.
Ursula was an absolute delight - she generously met us at midnight after we were delayed in arriving, and introduced us to her dinner guests. All were so friendly and chatty. The apartment itself is extremely close to the Colosseum! Just a short walk away, and the metro is right near the Colosseum too. The only thing I would say was a bit uncomfortable was the noise of the sirens that went all night - but if you're a heavy sleeper you should be fine. The apartment was quite roomy and had enough space for the two of us. We didn't cook much but the kitchen was well-equipped.
We as brother and sister had a wonderful time in Rome, also due to Ursula's lovely apartment. Ursula was very kind and helpful: we were well received. The apartment is in a very nice neighborhood with many beautiful villas, a 5 minute walk from the famous Colloseo/Colloseum. The apartment was comfortable with everything you need. We both slept very well at night. We would highly recommend this apartment to everybody! Thank you, Ursula! Jan Willem and Jacqueline de Roo
The apartment was ideal for our stay. Close to the Colosseum, great restaurants, grocery store, laundry, the train station and the bus system. It was clean and had everything we needed. The fans in each bedroom were appreciated as the days were very hot and we needed the fans to cool down wnough to sleep at night. We would use this apartment again - the price is fanastic for this location.
Everything was perfect, the apartment very clean, really near from Colosseo. Ursula was really nice, kind and pacefull with us, we had some problem with our bags and she helped us a lot!
Hope to stay there again!
We had a wonderful week in Rome staying at the Architect house Colosseo . Ursula is the perfect hostess, met us at the apartment right on time, showed us how everything worked, gave us tips on where to eat and shop. She kept in touch by email to make sure everything was going well. The apartment was very clean and had plenty of room for the 2 of us, and a well set up kitchen so we could have meals there if we wanted. The position was good, very close to the Domus Aureus, the colosseum and the metro. Ursula also came in person to say goodbye and organised a friend to take us to the airport.

Huckabee slams CPAC: It was too libertarian for me this year
posted at 12:29 pm on February 22, 2010 by Allahpundit
I'm resisting the idea that he said this purely out of personal pique but I can't come up with a good alternative strategic explanation. What political benefit is there, in this year of all years, to knock CPAC for being "more libertarian" and "less Republican"? Libertarianism has never had more cachet within the GOP than it has right now; it's not perfectly synonymous with the tea-party movement (of which Huckabee is predictably complimentary) but it's close enough, especially with Beck in the role of TPers' patron saint. Maybe Huck thinks finding any reason to knock an "establishment" event like CPAC will burnish his brand as an outsider? That'd be a goofy read on a conference whose straw poll was won by Ron Paul. Or maybe he thinks there'll be such a scrum for the libertarian vote among the GOP field in 2012 that he's better off staking out a position slightly to the left and letting Palin, Paul, etc fight it out for the small-government right. (America's Greatest Patriot is reportedly undecided on a bid.)
If so, he's conceding a lot of grassroots energy. Patrick Ruffini:
While I won't necessarily be rooting for a Paul 2012 candidacy, I *like* the fact that CPAC was shaken up, for two big reasons.
First, it shows that Ron Paul and the Campaign for Liberty are engaging constructively in the conservative movement. In 2007, the Paulites were an oppositional force trying to submarine the GOP's commitment to the war on terror, thus threatening traditional conservatives. Today, libertarians and conservatives have come together against Obama's endless expansion of the State, with Ron Paul supporters supplying creative organizing tactics and boots on the ground.
This leads into my second reason: in terms of grassroots organization, Paul supporters are some of the best — if not the best — that we have. The iconography of the tea party movement is heavily libertarian (think the Gadsden Flag) and that's no coincidence. If you broke down the organizers and even those in attendance, you'd find more than your fair share of Ron Paul supporters.
Exit question: Is this just Huck's way of criticizing the lower priority given to social issues this year at CPAC? That's not to suggest that he would have supported what Ryan Sorba said, but it does make me think that social conservatism will play an even bigger part in his next campaign (if there is one) than we thought. Call it triangulation: Palin takes the small-government grassroots, Romney takes the centrists, and Huck takes the Christian conservatives, banking on the fact that his niche in a three-way race is slightly bigger than the other two. But in that case, why slam a brand like libertarianism that's glowing right now? Why not just say, "I liked the way they're heading but think we need to pay more attention to values"?

iPhone Review: Ultimate Spiderman: Total Mayhem
Posted on 12th Jan 2011 at 07:28 by Joe Martin with 12 comments
You knock the wind out of Sandman, run Rhino through a wall, truss Doc Ock up with his own arms, nullify Venom, best the Goblin and that's it. End of line, as they say.
It's disappointing because, right up until the end, Ultimate Spiderman is one of the few truly console-quality games on the iPhone. As Ultimate Spiderman you can run, jump, swing and soar through a number of (relatively) gorgeous levels, finding hidden areas and unlocking comic book art, trophies and extra moves.
Ultimate Spiderman's button-mashing melee is also perfect for the tiny touchscreen, especially when compared with the awkward thumb-panning and auto-aim of most iPhone shooters.

My changeover in Zilina came with a 90min delay, so I ventured into town to find some food and stopped at the first terraced restaurant I found, after ordering my food the couple at the table next me, invited me to join them, he was dutch and she was Slovakian, they wanted to know why a girl was travelling around on her own, where I'd been, come from etc etc... I sometimes get sick of answering the same questions over and over, but these guys were different, they weren't just asking out of polite conversation, I got the impression they were genuinely intrigued... and as a serious schoolgirl error, in my complete exhaustion I ordered a cheese burger forgeting that what I would get would (quite literally..) be a cheese-burger with no meat...
Olomoucs is really a pretty town, very provincial and steeped in history. Gregor Medel studied theology here at the university (but more of him when I get to Brno!) and my time here was spent mainly wandering around the 'old city' along the river, following the remnants of the city walls and wandering through the old buildings of the university that now houses the art and theatre faculty.. (hence the 6ft paper mache donkey and the equally disproportioned headless chicken...)
I befriended a german couple in my hostel (who watched me poach eggs in the morning and wanted to know what I was doing?!?) and coincidentally they had noted the book I reading ( by the Polish author : Ryszard Kapuscinski, who seems to be infinitley famous in the former eastern bloc & not anywhere else...) On my second day I took the guided tour with one of the hostel hosts who went into detail the history of various buildings, squares, fountains (and there are a few!!) and residents... I pretty much followed the steps I had taken on my own the day before - only this time with a wealth of more knowledge.... I had noted that some of the old buildings in the square had pictures of animals above the doorways - which was how houses were identified in historical times rather than by numbers... (ie/ the black dog, the yellow fish etc etc...).
The tour also highlighted a couple of appropiately located cannonballs in obscure places - above the entrances to a bar and on the trinity column, on the later it is guilded it in gold to highlight the devine resilience of the column...

text: For years I blended the onion with some of the sauce in a blender and then poured it into the chile, when the girls went off to college and started cooking for themselves they called me up. "Mom, the sauce does not taste the same." When I told them to add the onion they about died. I laughed and laughed. They finally forgave me and they put onion in all their sauces.

Billy Povich should be smiling.
The hard-luck obit writer has just made his literary debut, in Gravewriter (St. Martin's Press), a fast-paced mystery that represents a promising new chapter in Providence Journal reporter Mark Arsenault's budding sideline as a fiction writer. With a tasty blend of hard-boiled noir and flat-out idiosyncrasy, the book is the first of Arsenault's three mysteries to use Providence as the setting, and the backing of St. Martin's Minotaur imprint should help to boost his readership.
While Povich and Arsenault share a strong belief in the mission of the Fourth Estate, the author shows no outward signs of his protagonist's periodic appetite for self-destructive behavior.
On the contrary, the fortunes of the native of a small working town about 50 miles west of Boston have steadily ascended since he came to Rhode Island in 1998, attracted by the Journal's tradition in long-form reporting. Besides finding a useful place to practice journalism, Arsenault, 39, met his fiancé, writerly standout Jennifer Levitz, now a reporter in the Boston bureau of the Wall Street Journal, at the ProJo, and the colorful state offers a seemingly unending vein upon which to draw in distilling the further tales of Billy Povich.
Where else, for example, could a reporter working the State House beat be credited with saving the life of a seemingly unremarkable state senator, John Celona of North Providence, who subsequently became a central figure — and is currently awaiting sentencing — in an ongoing Smith Hill influence-peddling investigation?
Journalism figures prominently in Arsenault's career as a mystery writer, on several levels. His first book, Spiked (Poisoned Pen Press, 2003) was inspired when an editor at the Sun of Lowell, Massachusetts, rejected his pitch to do a story on the hidden world of heroin addicts residing under a bridge near that city's downtown. And Gravewriter marks a clever double-reference, not just to Povich's desire to kill the retired police officer that he blames for his wife's death, but also his particular assignment at a Providence-based daily.
The book, published November 28, took flight after Arsenault spent more than a year developing a novelistic three-part 2004 series about Craig Price, who, before turning 16, had killed four Warwick neighbors in the late 1980s. As part of his research, Arsenault conducted between 50 and 60 interviews with Price in the high-security unit of the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston. In something of an inversion of this real-life tale, he says, "I wanted to have a good person wrestling with a life or death question."
The author downplays his place in the crowded field of mystery writers, likening himself, in a baseball metaphor, to "a poor man's Julio Lugo." Yet fiction writing has become a passion for the scribe, whose genial self-effacement obscures the discipline necessary to steadily face the keyboard before or after the workday — a practice he dubs "mind over ass."

FEDERAL GRAND JURY RETURNS THIRD SUPERSEDING INDICTMENT AGAINST MOSE JEFFERSON AND RENEE GILL PRATTMarch 05, 2010
RENEE GILL PRATT, age 55, former elected State Representative for House District 91, State of Louisiana, and former New Orleans City Councilmember, and MOSE JEFFERSON, age 66, both residents of New Orleans, Louisiana, were charged via a five (5)-count superseding indictment by a Federal Grand Jury today with Conspiracy to Violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), Mail Fraud, and False Statements, announced U. S. Attorney Jim Letten.
Today's indictment is the same as the existing indictment in all counts, charges, and penalties, as they pertain to MOSE JEFFERSON and RENEE GILL PRATT. The indictment eliminates previous substantive counts, including mail fraud, money laundering, aggravated identity theft, and tax evasion, that pertained mainly to Betty Jefferson and Angela Coleman, both of whom pled guilty before Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle last week. The indictment also represents a refinement of the government's theory of the case with respect toe Count 1, the RICO conspiracy.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation Division, the United States Department of Education, Office of Inspector General and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U. S. Attorneys Daniel P. Friel, Brian Marcelle, and Fred P. Harper, Jr.

HP Jumps 12%: FYQ2 Revenue Misses, EPS Beats; Q3, Year EPS Views Beat
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) this afternoon reported fiscal Q2 revenue that missed analysts' estimates, and profit per share above consensus, and offered a profit outlook slightly above what the Street has been looking for.
Revenue in the three months ended in April fell 10%, year over year, to $27.6 billion, yielding EPS of 87 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $28.02 billion in revenue and 81 cents per share.
CEO Meg Whitman remarked that, "We beat the upper end of our non-GAAP diluted EPS outlook for the quarter by $0.05 per share, driven by better than expected performance in Enterprise Services and Printing, coupled with the accelerated capture of restructuring savings and improvement in our operations."
Added Whitman, "I am encouraged by our performance in the second quarter, and I feel good about the rest of the year."
"As I have said many times before, this is a multi-year journey. We have a long way to go, but we are on track to deliver on our fiscal 2013 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share outlook."
The company generated $3.6 billion in operating cash flow.
HP's "personal systems" division, including its personal computer products, saw a 20% year-over-year decline, and had a 3.2% operating margin, the company said, which was up a half a point from the prior quarter but down 2.2 points from the year-earlier period. Sales to consumers fell 29%, while sales to businesses fell 14%.
The printing business unit saw a 1% decline, with a 15.8% operating margin, up 2.6 points from the year-earlier quarter. That was comprised of an 11% decline in units sold of hardware, with 13% decline in consumer unit sales.
The company's enterprise products business saw a 10% decline, and had a 15.9% operating margin, HP said. Enterprise services fell 8%, but the operating margin of 1.3 points was up 1.3 points from the prior quarter. Software revenue was off 3%, with support revenue up 12% but license revenue down 23%.
For the current quarter, HP sees EPS in a range of 84 cents to 87 cents, excluding some costs, which would be better than the Street consensus of 83 cents.
For the full year, the company sees EPS in a range of $3.50 to $3.60, which, again, is better than consensus for $3.44 per share. HP raised the lower end of the range from a prior $3.40 forecast back in February.
HP shares are up $2.47, or almost 12%, at $23.70, in late trading.
HP will host a conference call with analysts at 5 pm, Eastern time, and you can catch the webcast of it on the company's investor relations Web site.

Barry just got to say again how much I like the site.
I wanted to post this from the FAQ:
How do I rate a thread?
You may find a small menu on thread pages which allows you to 'rate this thread' with a number between 1-5.
Casting a vote for threads you view is entirely optional, but if you think that the thread is superb, you might rate it as a 5-star thread, or if you think that it's unspeakably dismal, you might choose to rate the thread with a single star.
Once enough votes have been cast for the thread rating, you may see a set of stars appear with the title of the thread in the thread listings. These stars reflect the average vote cast, and can allow you to quickly see which threads are worth reading if you are on a very busy forum with a lot of threads.
I started rating threads, just wonder if anyone else is doing so because I only see my ratings.

Have the Giants as a franchise ever cut a starter during the season? I'm guessing no. Many players this season are underachieving on both sides of the ball. Reason why we have lost two straight games.
I think it is an excellent message to send to every team.
No one remembers who came in second.

I know that this thread is for the Mini-14. But, I can't find another place for it and I'd like to write a little about Ruger's 10/22. Having a couple of Minis, I desired to find a more economical way to practice. I decided to obtain a 10/22. Both guns are semi auto. I have hi-cap mags for both. I figure that the 10/22 would be great to practice with because you are building "muscle memory" for it and the Mini at the same time. And, the .22LR is more economical (I hate the word "Cheaper") to shoot.
The 10/22 is probably the most popular gun sold in America today. You can often find them for less than $200. (At least you could before the current buying frenzy hit). The 10/22 is a very dependable firearm. There is a plethora (I like that word) of after-market products available for it. ATI Gunstocks makes a great looking kit with a folding stock with an M4 type of adjustment for this rifle. They make a similar one for the Mini-14 which I want to get. That way the 2 different guns would have similar handling qualities. You can buy all kinds of stocks, barrels and I don't know what all for the 10/22.
I think everybody should have one. I sure like mine.

I copied his from the link. Keep in mind that this was November.
NRA-ILA | Vol. 19, No. 50 12/28/2012
• Anti-gun Senator Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) staff met with the legal staff of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to discuss a new and very comprehensive "assault weapons" ban. According to a ShootingWire.com article, Feinstein's rumored "assault weapons" bill "would ban pistol grips and 'highcapacity' magazines, eliminate any grandfathering, and would ban sales of 'weapons in possession.'"

whats the best way to do this?
whats the best way to do this?
There are several ways, a quick search will turn up loads of threads on this. I myself glued screws to the back of the armor plates and attached eyelets on the vest so i can screw the armor pieces on.
Snaps or velcro are other options.
yup nuts and bolts is what i'm doing
i'm using velcro, one side [rough] glued to the back of the armor, the other side [soft] sewed to the vest.
bolts are good, but snaps are easier...it is mainly personal pref...
I used the bolt method. It's a bit of a pain but you won't get armour falling off in the middle of a troop.
al13ns shouldn't you have the velcro round the other way? Soft on the armour so it doesn't wreck the vest?
There's even a page in the wiki, under the Tutorials section.
i use velcro and glue, but thinking about switching to snaps
how exactly would you do snaps?
You take squares of ABS, drill a hole and attach the snap. Glue the piece onto your armor.
Punch holes in your vest for the other snap piece and attach them. Voilà!
You can find a good tutorial for snaps at www.tk409.com as well.

Bomb Parts Smuggled into 10 Federal Buildings During Test
Story Highlights
- Plainclothes investigators test security at 10 federal buildings in 4 U.S. cities
- GAO agents able to assemble components in restrooms, freely enter offices
- GAO's report questions effectiveness of the Federal Protective Service
- Sen. Susan Collins: Security lapses show "poor training, lax management" at FPS
By Mike M. Ahlers
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Plainclothes investigators sent to test security at federal buildings in four U.S. cities were successful in smuggling bomb components through guard posts at all 10 of the sites they visited, according to a government report.
The investigators then assembled the bombs in restrooms and freely entered numerous government offices while carrying the devices in briefcases, the report said.
The buildings contained offices of several federal lawmakers as well as agencies within the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security, which is responsible for safeguarding federal office buildings.
CNN obtained the report late Tuesday, ahead of its expected release Wednesday at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
The Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, conducted the tests to check on the effectiveness of the Federal Protective Service .The FPS protects federal buildings by having about 1,200 federal law enforcement officers oversee an army of 13,000 private security guards.
In a videotape obtained by CNN, a covert GAO inspector places a bag containing bomb components on an X-ray machine conveyor belt and then walks through a magnetometer at an unidentified federal building. Unlike some covert tests that use simulated explosives, the GAO used actual bomb components in the test and publicly available information "to identify a type of device that a terrorist could use" to damage a building.

Geographic Information
REGION: Piedmont
RIVER BASIN: Yadkin Pee-Dee
NEIGHBORING COUNTIES: Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph, Rowan
Davidson County, located in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina, was formed in 1822 from Rowan County. It was named after William Lee Davidson, a Revolutionary War general killed in the Battle of Cowan's Ford on the Catawba River in 1781. The county seat, Lexington, was named by its early residents in honor of the 1775 Battle of Lexington, which marked the start of the American Revolution. Other Davidson County communities include Midway, Denton, Thomasville, and Wallburg.
Prior to its settlement by Europeans, the area along the Yadkin River that became Davidson County was inhabited primarily by Saponi Indians. The Saponi, like other native groups in the region, were confronted with major social and economic transformations as European settlers began to arrive in the North Carolina backcountry. By the time English, Scotch-Irish, and German settlers arrived in significant numbers toward the middle of the eighteenth century, many Saponis had been pushed from the area by settlers and other Indian tribes or had coalesced with larger tribes. European settlers generally formed farming communities that remained small through the early nineteenth century, with German Lutheran, Moravian, and Reformed churches and communities clustered in the northern part of the county and English and Scotch-Irish enclaves in the south. Gold, silver, copper, and lead mining sparked further development in the first decades of the nineteenth century. In 1855 the arrival of the North Carolina Railroad laid the foundation for growth of the county's industrial economy after the Civil War. Lexington and Thomasville, both along the railroad's route, grew rapidly and became centers for the state's textile and furniture industries, which remained robust well into the twentieth century.
In the early 2000s, Davidson County remained internationally known for its furniture production. Thomasville, home to Thomasville Furniture Industries, boasts that it is home to the world's largest chair. Proponents of western North Carolina-style barbecue (hickory-smoked pork shoulders with a tomato-laced sauce) refer to Lexington as North Carolina's barbecue capital. While lovers of eastern North Carolina barbecue strenuously dispute this claim, the Lexington Barbecue Festival is the state's largest food festival, drawing more than 100,000 people each year.
Agricultural products of Davidson County include beef cattle, hogs, chickens, tobacco, soybeans, and corn. The county has several cultural and recreational attractions and parks, including High Rock Lake, Boone's Cave Park, the Davidson County Historical Museum, Childress Vineyards, and the Richard Childress Racing Museum. The North Carolina Vietnam Veterans Memorial, located between Lexington and Thomasville, honors the state's 1,620 soldiers killed or declared missing in action during the Vietnam War. In 2004 Davidson County's population was estimated at just over 153,000.

Your sewing area looks terrific! Love all the shelves, and space for the machines!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Your sewing area looks terrific! Love all the shelves, and space for the machines!

Looks nice Faye! Wish I could get mine more organized too!
I love your sewing space, and I know you love your Dressmaker. I have had one since the 60's and it is a workhorse.
Looks great!! Love it all.
Great job! Love that big closet!!
I have that little folding table that you have next to your machine and love being able to move it around. I've also used it to serve desserts at Christmas. Good for you to be organized. What a cute sewing machine.
Jesus knows all my imperfections yet he still loves me. Amazing!
It all looks very nice!!
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
That's a lovely machine - and looks like you have everything organized perfectly to find everything you need. You have great light there -- my quilting room is much darker, so I have to have more lights on to see well.
Good job! Isn't it nice to have a sewing space where it's easy to find things? I love those vintage machines, and have the same little pink iPod. ~

text: All the children love to listen to stories. If they can learn to enact stories, then they will immensely benefit from it. Enacting stories will help to increase the child's creativity and it will also help in his mental development. It will also develop his learning and communication skill. Enacting stories should be added in to their curriculum. Children will absorb the art of enacting stories naturally from reading and storytelling sessions by the adults. Go on reading to know how you can help your kid to learn enacting stories.It can be fun to assist your child to enact stories. Simultaneously, it will help in his mental growth. As you read or tell stories to your kids, you must have noticed that stories have a universal appeal to their tender psyche. You will find that your children have an inborn tendency to emulate the characters of the stories, especially the heroic ones or those that catch their fancy.

Do you know anyone who does what you stated as your opinion? As a means of making profit w/ Langstroth hives?
Do you know anyone who does what you stated as your opinion? As a means of making profit w/ Langstroth hives?
Mark Berninghausen
i have seen some people online that have over 100 hives to work with and are building on that .
thay do say they make money at it .
i did read that one person has over 250 warre hives and is doing very well and the post i look at he told us he had no perblems with his bees for 6 years and had not lost a hive in all that time .
he was in the EU but i can not remember where .
i know some one that has 4 perone hives and some warre hive they are building more perone hive they say they are great but very very big and form what i read you can get a lot of honey from them but only after 3 or 4 years .
they are that big you have to give the bees 3 or 4 years to build the hive before you get any honey .
have you ever seen a perone hive ?
hope to talk soon
all the best Bill
Is there something special about a particular type of hive which will effect the colony which lives in it, making that colony perform differently than another type of hive?
Hasn't lost one colony in 6 years? Skeptical. That's better than the average pre-varroa days.
Mark Berninghausen
you make a profit the same way you do with any other hive .
you can stack them if you take the roof off and put a transport roof on until you get to where you are going .
why would a warre be hard to use to pollination the bees come and go in the same way as other hives ?
please let me know your other questions .
thanks bill
i can only say what i see onling .
natural hives are better for the bees .
commercial / langstroth / wbc and the others are all about just taking honey
natural hives are about the bees .
that may be why he did not lose any hives
i hope that is right then the more of us that use natural hive the more bees we will have .
I could see making money with a warre. First to harvest the honey, you will destroy the combs. Then letting the bees clean out the comb that was harvested from, you could use the wax for candles, cosmetics, or even your own foundation to sell ( since it is natural and you have a mill). I see potential for the warre hive owners.
I guess it is possible that if you keep bees and don't do anything w/ them, then they will swarm when they want to and you may not notice when a colony has died.
Six years w/out any colony mortality doesn't happen in Nature. That's why I am skeptical about his claim. Could be, but I doubt it. Not that it really matters.
"natural hives are better for the bees"? How so? Wouldn't it more likely be the way those so called "natural hives" are managed or not managed?
Mark Berninghausen
Any hive type or management style can be profitable. It's all about how well you manage the Business of beekeeping.
Mark Berninghausen
I think there is more money to be made in selling bees than honey. That would be much more profitable with Langstroth hives so you could sell nucs.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
as far as I have seen, especially if they are priced right
Nucs sell very easily, particularly in a coupla weeks when the newbees with their package bees start to have problems....
"If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
But in my admittedly inexperienced opinion, bees are wild animals. The less you stress a colony (by forcing it to do unnatural things) the better for the health of the bees. Zoo animals, for example, do better in naturalized setting like fake savannahs than they do in cages no matter how nice the cages are.
As an example of an unnatural thing, how about feeding syrup? I did it this spring, but I stopped as soon as there was a good nectar flow, and I hope to mostly avoid it in the future.
Maybe I'm wrong but that's my personal philosophy.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by Rex, Mar 9, 2011.
That's usually the best part of the movie...
You are so right! My personal favorite movie death of his was in the gawdawful remake of Wicker Man. The original was so good (one of my favorite trick endings of all time), but it was ruined with the remake.
But it gave us the immortal line, "Not the bees! NOT THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!" and my personal favorite, "Step away from the bike!"
According to the internet, Shiloh will be 5 this year, so Brad and Angelina have been together for 6 or so years (I think it was early 2005). Brad and Angelina seem to be way past all the Jennifer stuff, so why can't she (and the media) get past it? Is it just because she's in her 40s and single? She's way past her 'America's Sweetheart' years, she hasn't been in anything of note lately, so what's her relevance? Personally, I think Lindsay Lohan has more relevance than she does right now. At least LiLo is doing things to keep people talking, rather than constantly rehashing things from years ago.
Does anyone actually think Joan is funny? It just seems like everyone on her show laughs uncomfortably when she tells a joke. Like "we have to laugh because she's really old and it's her show."
I'm not a huge Jen Aniston fan, but 5 of her last 8 films have made over $100 million at the box office, and 2 of the 3 that didn't (Love Happens and The Switch) still doubled their production budgets. Not too bad. Crappy as these movies may be, with a decent male costar, she can sell tickets.
Yes but Tina Fey is crazy good at it.And for some reason,I have no doubt Tina Fey could probably do anything she wanted.Drama or comedy.
The problem with Jennifers acting in comedy is she is just the same character,over and over and over.Nothing changes except a little bit of the story line and her characters name.
As far as drama vs comedy.I am a fan of both.A good barometer of talent is if you can make the audience laugh or make them cry.Mediocre is just annoying.
when was the last time she talked about it? i don't know, honestly. and are you serious about lindsay lohan?
By the way, her latest film "Just Go With It" has made over $88 million in the US (another $6 million this week so still raking it in). That is a big hit for anyone at this time of the year and I believe it finished #1 for a week. I bet it is Aniston's biggest success in a long time, if not ever, when it comes to films considering its run is not over for a few more weeks. It should pass $100 million before ever going to DVD.
you can look up her box office stats here:
My crack about Nicholas Cage aside, cause that's different cause I said so, I am a little bit tired of people who make their entire living making of fun/insulting/running down others who actually do things.
Joan Rivers to me comes off as spiteful and jealous because for all her snarking, she hasn't had the tenth of the success of just one of Jennifer's flops. If it's so damn easy and you're so damn talented, why don't you go out and make some movies? Oh right, no one's knocking on your door. Where are all your Oscars and Emmys?
I'm putting Ricky Gervais and Kathy Griffin in the same category. Instead of making fun of easy targets and people that actually you know act in Hollywood, take a damn chance. It's very easy (and cowardly) to criticize constantly; it's much harder to put yourself out there for criticism.
Ricky Gervias is an Golden Globe, BAFTA and Emmy Award winning actor/writer/producer. He has the success to back up his comedy, and has actually worked alongside a lot of the actors he pokes fun at (just look at his show Extras). No, his movies aren't always successful, but he pokes fun at that too (I remember him doing that for Ghost Town at last year's Globes). His most common target is Steve Carrell, but then again, he pretty much gave Steve his big break. I'll always remember Ricky at the Emmys the year after he couldn't be there, so they jokingly had Steve accept the award, then the next year Ricky made a big show of asking to get his award back from Steve. I'm pretty sure it was that bit that gave him the GG hosting gig.
Doesn't Joan make funny of everyone? Calling Jennifer boring and stupid doesn't seem particularly outside of Joan's standard behaviour.
The best thing about Jennifer Aniston is her hair, namely her hair colorist.
I always thought that Anniston is not very exciting as an actress, not that attractive, "Friends" are banal, etc…. until I saw the movie "The Good Girl", with Anniston in the main role.
I don't know much about this movie, never seen it again, maybe it's in the category of "indi-movies", black comedy about mid-American suburbia; not as obscure as "Clerks" or "Stranger than Paradise", but same "sentiment". Anniston was very good in it, and the movie itself is very interesting (to me).
What are you talking about? Angelina has great body, or atleast had when she was younger and not super skinny. Jen may work out a lot but Angelina's body had this ethereal quality: great proportions, beautiful shape of muscles. Not to mention some softness in the right places.
I'm talking about her flat butt and toothpick legs. There's nothing ethereal about her body to me.
I agree. She's a genius.
I think she was a good sport to do this:
Probably got paid a ton of money too.
I think that was cute. thanks.
Hope she got paid a ton. It is a Coca Cola company, isn't it, with the advertising budget that implies.
It's Adam Sandler's movie. Jen is just one of the actresses he hired for a part in the film. One of Sheen's goddesses could've played Jen's role in the film, and it would still make 88 mil.
Don't forget "How'ditgetburned? How'ditgetburnedHOW'DITGETBURNED????" (There's a great RiffTrax for that movie, here.)
She hasn't? I guarantee a lot more people are familiar with her than with one of Jennifer's flops. Heck, probably more people heard Joan voicing a robot in Spaceballs than saw any five of Jennifer's flops.
The money Jen's movies make would say otherwise...
Exactly. As much as I liked The Object of My Affection, Friends with Money and even Derailed, those parts could easily have been played by about a dozen other actresses. The former film succeeded for me mainly because of the strong supporting cast, including the always superb Allison Janney (a former ice skater).
And just because some of an actor's movies make money, doesn't mean that they are good movies. Steven Seagal anyone?
And no point in comparing Jen to Joan. First of all, despite her training in theater, Joan is first and foremost, a comedian. She made her mark with doing stand-up, and yes, snarking on A-listers, like lots of other comedians like Don Rickles. She never tried to become a film actress or transition from TV to movies like Jen is doing.
Joan makes me laugh, Jen makes me just shake my head and say "what do people see in her". Don't know anything about Jen as I won't read any articles about her as they all seem "Woe is me, I lost Brad, don't I have pretty hair?". I also don't think she's pretty, she looks like a foot. Just my opinion though.
People keep referring to Jen talking about Brad all the time - in all the interviews I've read, she never talks about him. The articles all mention him, but that's the interviewer talking, and guessing about her feelings, and relating everything she says to Brad and Angelina; not her.
A foot? Very interesting, please explain!
yeah, that's my impression too. The media is obsessed with that triangle and Brad and Angelina in general. They shove them down our throats so much...I can't stand them!
I think they always bring it up in articles about Aniston because there's nothing else to talk about it. She's as bland as can be and seems to have no personality and no interests.
Aww, you didn't just lurve "Tammy"? It's funny because I used to love that movie when I was a teenager. I recently saw it again for the first time in over 30 years and my reaction was "What a load of treacle!"
I think they probably bring it up because she's still single. Most stars would have been married (and likely divorced) again by now. I don't think they know what to do with someone who doesn't play to the stereotype.

This is my first year of keeping bees. It has been fun so far.
Today I weighed my hives, as I had heard that it was a way to measure their health in regard to wintering.
All three of my hives have two deeps right now. I didn't take them completely apart, but the top deeps on all three seem pretty full of stored honey.
The bottom deeps are much lighter. The lightest one was the one I had to requeen in mid September because the queen had died. It was swarm we caught in May.
Within a pound or two, they measured as such.
Top Deep: 70lbs.
Bottom Deep: 35 lbs.
Is this information alone enough to determine if I should feed them while it is still warm? We are in central CA (Manteca/Tracy area) and can probably look forward to at least a month before a freeze (possibly longer), with winter days often on the warm side.

Discussion in 'GAS POWERED BIKES' started by Dowie Soetenga, Oct 25, 2010.
Awesome build!!!
Sorry if this is a newbie question but where did you get the motor? Was it a kit?
It looks sweet, but how does it ride? Could you possibly post a video?
Thanks for the positive feedback. No kit here. This thing is built from sweat and tears. The motor is a Honda / Lifan 97cc 2.5hp four stroke, flathead, sidevalve. The clutch is a Hillard #35 12T. The motor mounts and related are hand made. The rest of the parts are 90% vintage Schwinn. It rides great. I'm going to swap out a sprocket to give her a little more low end power. Right now the top speed is around 33-35mph. I'm going to scale it back a little. I'll get some video footage on youtube next weekend if I can.
Wow 30mph? thats awesome!!
wheres my welder? i am now officially gona build a 5 horse bike like this 8) once i get my welder working and some steel then ima buy a cranbrook so i dont feel bad about chopping up a jaguar :mrgreen:
That is one sweet ride man. Where did you pick the motor up from?
Here are some pictures from last weekend. I think she's all dialed in. I changed the jack shaft output sprocket from 10T to 9T. I've also added a modern rear V brake, and a chain tensioner.
The motor is a 2.5HP 97cc four stroke flathead. I bought it on ebay for $90.00. It's a Honda Lifan. I wanted a vintage Briggs, but they were too expensive for my budget.
Nice looking bike..did you fab those rear brake bosses, or where did You get them those are sweet.
man sweet build!! how did you figure out the gear reduction ,a four stoke engine would be cool on my bike not to mention way more reliable and sound better!
Very nice. Good lines on that bike.
A red tank would really set off your bike
is your sprocket mounted to a free wheel ? how did you pull that off?
The right side is pedal assist with a free wheel.
The left side is motor assist with a free wheel.
The gearing is all math. My blueprint drawing calls out the sprockets and ratios. I ended up making my jackshaft output sprocket 9T vs 10T to gear the bike just a little lower. Perfect.
The speed is now 29.4mph at 4,200 rpm.
nice job ...yourthe only other person besides me that i have seen use that motor .
i did a jessie james chopper bike with the same engine ( sounds good ) .
About those rear brake bosses?????
Yes. I did make the rear brake bosses. Here is a tread I started showing how to make them.
Just put on my tank decals. Next is custom exhaust, heat shield / guard.
I like it. Can you take a picture of the right hand side of the bike please?
Here are some pictures of the right side of the bike.

Jeep Celebrates 70 Years With Most Comprehensive Lineup Yet
Seventy years ago, the beginnings of what we now know as the Jeep brand sprang to life under the Willys-Overland moniker. After moving from banner to banner with the likes of Kaiser and AMC, the world-renowned off-road marque now lives under the Chrysler umbrella and has earned enough cachet to be a victim of genericized trademarking, although one could argue worldwide recognition is even more important.
"The Jeep brand's legendary heritage and capability has made it iconic - well-known and loved throughout the world," said Mike Manley, President and CEO - Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "No other automotive brand has ever been able to provide a lineup of vehicles to safely take owners wherever they want to go, whether on-road or across the most rugged terrain they can find.
"For 2011, Jeep continues to improve the formula," Manley added. "We started with the all-new Grand Cherokee - the ultimate premium SUV, blending a new level of on-road refinement and efficiency with unmatched Jeep capability. And we are making significant improvements across the Jeep lineup that will continue to delight our customers."
The 2011 Jeep lineup consists of the following vehicles:
- Compass -- compact crossover to be updated for 2011
- Grand Cherokee -- long-lived full-size SUV gets significantly revised for 2011
- Patriot -- midsize SUV to be updated for 2011
- Wrangler -- iconic soft- and hard-top off-roader continues to bear the image of its forefather
- Wrangler Unlimited -- the quintessential Jeep with four doors
