Why the Mariners are handcuffed in their middle infield
There has been plenty of justifiable discussion of late pertaining to how the Mariners can continue to carry both Brendan Ryan and Robert Andino on the same roster when Ryan is batting .129 and Andino .169.
It's certainly a valid question for any team hoping to win more than it loses. And there is a valid answer that I'm sure very few fans and pundits want to hear: the alternative could be far worse.
First of all, bringing up one or both of Carlos Triunfel or Nick Franklin will require dropping either Ryan or Andino.
[do action="cinesport" url="http://cinesport.seattletimes.com/inline/2381623287001/"/]
Now, if you drop Ryan from the team, you throw away any of the defensive value he brings. Don't forget, Ryan has more value defensively than any of those other infielders I just mentioned. So, any improvement you get on offense will automatically be docked a bit by the value you are throwing away on defense. In other words, if you add Triunfel or Franklin, you will have to guarantee they can be substantially better at the plate (at least doubly as good as Ryan) for the net gain to mean anything.
The more logical approach would be to drop Andino, who costs less than Ryan in any event and is not as good at shortstop with his glove. Here's the catch, though: the flexibility Andino brings at being able to play multiple positions and play on a more regular basis (at least in theory, if not in reality so far) is what led the Mariners to carry only one backup infielder this year.
Drop Andino, and the club will most likely have to go with two backup infielders. And where would the extra spot come from? An outfield where the Mariners don't really have any spots to spare.More

I carry my Zero Tolerance ZT-0301 everywhere.
I recently purchased my first OTF knife. I was looking for a spring assisted knife when I came upon the Smith and Wesson HRT OTF Assisted opener. I always wanted an OTF but since I do not have a military or police license, I could not carry a regular OTF switchblade in my pocket. S&M makes this "assisted opening" OTF knife which I just had to get. It can come with a variety of blade types, and I got the tanto with partial serrations. For an OTF its got almost no bladeplay and it seems sharper than a surgeons knife would need to be. The blade I believe to be 440 stainless. Its got an extra added glass breaker on the end which is actually fairly large and could be used to bludgeon. The picture below is of the tanto non serrated, however the one i got has serrations.http://images.knifecenter.com/knifec...s/SWOTF2TB.jpg
What locking mechanism is used for that S&W HRT? Also, is that actually easy to deploy? It seems like you would have to hold the very tip of the knife in order for the switch to activate.
My EDC is the ZT 302 "Steak" knife. It is a little large but I have gotten used to it. Had to relocate the carrying clip for left-handed carry but it deploys quickly and is razor sharp.
I just ordered a Benchmade 550SBKHG tonight and have every intention of using it as my EDC! It will be my first Benchmade and I can't wait to get it. Not to get off topic but if any Benchmade aficionados out there could tell me the difference between the 550 & 551, I'd be grateful - I looked at both on the site and they are both the same size and the handles look the same? Thanks!
I found the full belly of the 550 to be superior edge geometry for my inverted-edge knife methodology and it allows for good cutting with both pushing and pulling strokes. The 551 has a standard drop-point that will suit everyday uses just fine while adding a superior penetrating tip if you find yourself having to puncture materials a lot before you cut in your knife use.
Kershaw. OD-1 1775, Leatherman Supertool , and a Shrade Walden 3 blade jack, with the Kershaw getting most of the duty. I use all of my knives for any task that they fit : the way I figure it, if I can not sharpen a knife to a razors edge, I probably should not be carrying it. I taught my daughter to sharpen a knife when she was young, when she got into high school she had a sharper knife than any of the guys in school... yes kids still carry knives out here in the sticks.
Carry what you are used to and use what you carry, seems like a heck of a axiom to me.
I carry a 5.11 Tactical 3.5 lockblade. This is my "utility" knife.
I just purchased a Cold Steel 4" Vequero and I am breaking this in. This will be my "battle knife" and used only for that.
See picture below...
OK, these knives are not my EDC, but they are sitting in my drawer here at my desk and still within reach.
Like the old proverb says, the one with the most knives when he dies, wins.
Starting from the top left to right...

So am I the only one with this knife sickness?
OH YEA, I forgot to take the picture of the 12" spear point Cold Steel Machete I have sitting on my printer.
What? No one carries a Byrd from Spyderco. The best $20 youll ever spend.
I've been carrying Spydercos for 20+ years, starting with a 1st generation Police Model. Steel handles, heavy as a brick, and quite a handful at almost 9 1/2" overall. The first thing I did with it was to slice open the back of my right index finger in the parking lot of the store where I bought it, and I haven't cut myself on any of my knives since (knock on wood).
The next was an Endura with a molded plastic pocket clip, which I snapped off on a my car's seatbelt, then I carried a Delica for awhile, and next was the best of the lot: a Benchmade/Spyderco crossbreed based on the Delica, with a liner lock, carbon fiber handles, and a "Black Ti" coated combo edge blade. I paid a pretty penny for that one, and stupidly lost it after years of daily carry.
I needed something temporary to keep in the front pocket until I could replace it with another knife as nice as the last one, and I dropped $17 on a Byrd Meadowlark thinking it would last a month at most. I liked it so much that I stopped thinking about replacing it a week later, and that was two years ago.

Feeding of Newborns and Infants

- Initial Care of the Newborn
- Physical Examination of the Newborn
- Newborn Screening Tests
- First Few Days After Birth
- Feeding of Newborns and Infants
- Stools and Urine in Infants
- Sleeping in Newborns and Infants
A normal newborn has active rooting and sucking reflexes (see Three Common Reflexes of Newborns) and can start feeding right away, so doctors recommend placing the newborn at the mother's breast immediately after birth. If this is not done, feedings are begun at least within 4 hours after birth.
Most babies swallow air along with the milk. Babies usually cannot burp on their own, so a parent needs to help. Babies should be held upright, leaning against the parent's chest, with their head against the parent's shoulder, while the parent pats them gently on their back. The combination of patting and pressure against the shoulder usually leads to an audible burp, often accompanied by spitting up of a small amount of milk.
Breast milk is the ideal food for newborns. Although babies may be fed breast milk or formula, doctors recommend exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first 6 months and introducing appropriate solid foods between 6 months to 1 year (see Feeding of Newborns and Infants : Starting Solid Foods). After children reach 1 year of age, breastfeeding can continue for as long as both the child and mother desire. However, after age 1 year, breastfeeding should complement a full diet of solid foods and other fluids.
Sometimes breastfeeding is not possible (for example, if the mother is taking certain drugs—see Taking drugs while breastfeeding), and many healthy babies have been raised on formula (see Feeding of Newborns and Infants : Bottle-Feeding).
Benefits of breastfeeding
Breastfeeding is good for the mother and the baby. Besides providing the baby with the necessary nutrients in the most easily digestible and absorbable form, breast milk contains antibodies and white blood cells that protect the baby against infection.
The first milk the mother produces is a thin yellow fluid called colostrum. Colostrum is particularly rich in calories, protein, white blood cells, and antibodies.
The breast milk that is produced after colostrum helps maintain the correct pH of the stool and the proper balance of normal intestinal bacteria, thus protecting the baby against bacterial diarrhea. Because of the protective qualities of breast milk, many types of infections occur less often in babies who are breastfed rather than formula-fed. Breastfeeding also seems to protect against the development of certain chronic problems, such as allergies, diabetes, obesity, and Crohn disease.
Breastfeeding offers many advantages to the mother as well. For example, it helps her to bond and feel close to her baby in a way that bottle-feeding cannot. Mothers who breastfeed have a quicker recovery time after delivery and have some long-term health benefits, such as decreased risk of obesity, osteoporosis, ovarian cancer, and some breast cancers. About 60% of mothers in the United States breastfeed their babies, and this proportion is steadily increasing.
If the mother follows a healthy, varied diet, normal-term infants who are breastfed do not need vitamin or mineral supplements, except for vitamin D and sometimes fluoride. Infants who are fed only breast milk are at risk of vitamin D deficiency after 2 months of age, particularly if they are premature or dark-skinned or have limited exposure to sunlight (for example, infants who live in northern climates). These infants are given vitamin D supplements beginning at 2 months of age. After 6 months of age, breastfed infants in homes where the water does not have adequate fluoride (supplemental or natural) should be given fluoride drops. Parents can obtain information about the fluoride content of their water from a local dentist or health department.
Positioning a Baby to Breastfeed
Breastfeeding procedure
To begin breastfeeding, the mother settles into a comfortable, relaxed position, either seated or lying almost flat. The mother should be able to comfortably turn from one side to the other to offer each breast. The baby faces the mother. The mother supports her breast with her thumb and index finger on top and other fingers below and brushes her nipple against the middle of the baby's lower lip, which stimulates the baby's mouth to open (the rooting reflex) and grasp the breast. As the mother eases the nipple and areola into the baby's mouth, she makes sure the nipple is centered, which helps keep the nipple from becoming sore. Before removing the baby from the breast, the mother breaks the suction by inserting her finger into the baby's mouth and gently pressing the baby's chin down. Sore nipples result from poor positioning and are easier to prevent than to cure.
Initially, the baby tends to feed for several minutes at each breast. The resulting reflex (let-down reflex) in the mother triggers milk production. The production of milk depends on sufficient suckling time, so feeding times should be long enough for milk production to be fully established. During the first few weeks, the baby should be encouraged to nurse on both breasts with each feeding. However, some babies fall asleep while feeding at the first breast. Burping the infant and switching to the other breast helps keep the infant awake. The breast used last should be used first for the next feeding.
For a first baby, full milk production is usually established in 72 to 96 hours. Less time is needed for subsequent babies. No more than 6 hours should elapse between feeding sessions during the first few days in order to stimulate breast milk production. Feeding should be on demand (the baby's, that is) rather than by the clock. Similarly, the length of each breastfeeding session should be adjusted to meet the baby's needs. Babies nurse 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period, but this guideline varies widely.
Mothers who work may breastfeed while at home and have the baby drink pumped breast milk from a bottle during the hours they are away. Pumped breast milk should be immediately refrigerated if it is to be used within 2 days and should be immediately frozen if it is to be used after 2 days. Refrigerated milk that is not used within 4 days should be thrown away because the risk of contamination by bacteria is high. Frozen milk should be thawed by placing it in warm water. Breast milk should not be heated in a microwave.
Complications of breastfeeding for the baby
The main complication caused by breastfeeding is underfeeding. Because mothers cannot tell exactly how much milk a baby takes, mothers should take the baby to the doctor 3 to 5 days after delivery so that the doctor can find out how breastfeeding is going, weigh the baby, and answer any questions. A doctor may need to see the baby earlier if the baby was discharged within 24 hours or is not feeding well, or if the parents have a particular concern.
Doctors use frequency of feeding, number of urine and stool diapers, and weight gain to tell whether milk production is adequate. Parents can get a rough idea of whether their baby is getting enough milk by counting diapers. By 5 days of age, wetting fewer than 6 diapers a day and/or having fewer than 4 bowel movements a day may mean the baby is not getting enough milk. Babies who are hungry and feed every hour or two but who do not gain weight appropriately for their age and size are probably not getting enough milk. Babies who do not get enough milk may become dehydrated and develop hyperbilirubinemia (see Jaundice in Newborns). Babies who are small or premature or who have a mother who is ill or had a delivery that was difficult or required surgery are at risk of underfeeding.
Complications of breastfeeding for the mother
Common complications caused by breastfeeding include breast engorgement, sore nipples, plugged milk ducts, mastitis, and anxiety.
Breast engorgement is painful overfilling of the breasts with milk. Engorgement occurs during the early stages of milk production (lactation). For ways to relieve symptoms, see Breast engorgement.
For sore nipples, the infant's position during breastfeeding should be checked. Sometimes the infant draws in a lip and sucks it, which irritates the nipple. For ways to prevent and relieve sore nipples, see Breastfeeding.
Plugged milk ducts occur when the breasts do not get completely drained of milk on a regular basis. They cause mildly tender lumps that can be felt in the breasts of lactating women. Continued breastfeeding is the best way to unplug the duct. Although it may be painful to nurse on the affected side, frequent breastfeeding is necessary to completely empty the breast. Warm compresses and massage of the affected area before breastfeeding may help. Women may also vary their breastfeeding positions because different areas of the breast empty better depending on the infant's position at the breast. A good nursing bra is helpful because regular bras with underwires or constricting straps can compress milk ducts.
Mastitis (see Breast Infection) is a breast infection that can occur in women who are breastfeeding, particularly if there is engorgement or a plugged milk duct. Bacteria can enter the breast through cracked or damaged nipples and cause an infection. The infected area is tender, warm, and red, and the woman may have fever, chills, and flu-like aching. Women whose symptoms are severe or do not go away in 12 to 24 hours are given antibiotics that are safe for breastfeeding infants. If pain is significant, women may take acetaminophen for relief. Women should continue breastfeeding during treatment.
Anxiety, frustration, and feelings of inadequacy may result from a mother's lack of experience with breastfeeding, difficulties holding the infant and getting the infant to latch on and suck, fatigue, difficulty telling whether the infant is getting enough milk, and other physical changes that occur after giving birth. These factors and emotions are the most common reasons mothers stop breastfeeding. Mothers can consult with their pediatrician or a lactation specialist to discuss their feelings and possibly prevent stopping breastfeeding early.
Taking drugs while breastfeeding
Mothers who are breastfeeding should avoid taking drugs if possible. When drug therapy is necessary, mothers should avoid certain drugs and take only those that are known to be safe (see Taking Drugs While Breastfeeding).
When to stop breastfeeding (wean the infant) depends on the needs and desires of both mother and baby. The most desirable feeding combination is to breastfeed exclusively for at least 6 months, breastfeed along with solid foods until age 12 months, and then continue to breastfeed for as long as mother and child wish. Gradual weaning over weeks or months is easier for both the baby and mother than stopping suddenly.
Mothers initially replace one to three breastfeeding sessions a day with a bottle or cup of water or diluted fruit juice (water or fruit juice should not be used when weaning infants younger than 6 months old), expressed breast milk, formula, or whole milk if the baby is older than 12 months. Learning to drink from a cup is an important developmental milestone, and weaning to a cup can be completed by age 10 months. Babies who are weaned to a sippy cup instead of a bottle do not go through a second weaning process from bottle to cup.
Some feedings, particularly those at mealtimes, should be replaced with solid food. Mothers gradually replace more and more breastfeedings, although many infants continue one or two breastfeedings daily until the age of 18 to 24 months or longer. When breastfeeding continues longer, the child should also be eating solid foods and drinking from a cup.
In the hospital, newborns are usually fed shortly after delivery, then ideally on demand thereafter. During the first week after birth, babies take ½ ounce to 2 ounces at a time, gradually increasing to 3 or 4 ounces about 6 to 8 times a day by the second week. Parents should not urge newborns to finish every bottle but, rather, allow them to take as much as they want whenever they are hungry. As infants grow, they drink larger amounts, consuming up to 6 to 8 ounces at a time by the third or fourth month.
The proper position for babies who are bottle-feeding is semi-reclining or sitting up. Babies should not bottle-feed lying flat on their back because milk may flow into the nose or the eustachian tubes. Older infants who are able to hold their own bottle should not be put to sleep holding the bottle because the continuous exposure to milk or juice can damage their teeth and lead to cavities.
Commercial baby formulas are available as ready-to-feed sterile bottles, cans of concentrated formula that must be diluted with water, and powder. Formulas contain a proper balance of nutrients, calories, and vitamins and are available both with and without an iron supplement. All formula-fed babies should be given iron-fortified formula to prevent iron deficiency anemia.
Parents who use concentrated formula or powders must carefully follow the directions for preparation. Concentrated and powdered formulas should be prepared with water that has fluoride in it. Formulas are usually made from cow's milk, but other special formulas are available for infants who cannot tolerate cow's milk. If infants cannot tolerate standard formula, the pediatrician may recommend switching to a soy-based formula or a hydrolyzed formula. If infants cannot tolerate a hydrolyzed formula, they may be switched to an amino acid formula. There are no long-term health differences in infants fed either standard or special formula. Plain cow's milk, however, is not an appropriate food during the first year of life.
To minimize the infant's exposure to microorganisms, formula must be fed from a sterile container. Disposable plastic liners eliminate the need to sterilize bottles. Nipples for the bottles should be sterilized in the dishwasher or in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Parents should warm formula feedings to body temperature. Filled bottles (or formula containers, if disposable liners are used) are placed in a warm water bath and allowed to come to body temperature. Babies may be seriously burned if formula is too hot, so parents need to shake the bottle gently to even out the temperature and then check the temperature by placing a few drops on the sensitive skin inside their wrist. Formula at body temperature should feel neither warm nor cold to the touch. Microwave ovens may dangerously overheat formula and are not recommended for warming formula or baby food.
The size of the nipple opening is important. In general, formula should drip slowly out of a bottle held upside down. Larger, older infants want larger volumes of liquid and can tolerate a larger nipple opening.
Starting Solid Foods
The time to start solid food depends on the infant's needs and readiness. Generally, infants need solids when they are large enough to need a more concentrated source of calories than breast milk or formula. This need is recognized when an infant takes a full bottle and is satisfied but then is hungry again in 2 or 3 hours or is consuming more than 40 ounces of formula per day. This typically occurs by the age of 6 months. Many infants take solids after a breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, which both satisfies their need to suck and quickly relieves their hunger. Infants younger than 4 months of age do not need solid food for nutrition, cannot easily swallow solid food, and should not be force-fed with a spoon or by mixing baby food with formula in a bottle. The introduction of solid food before 4 months of age may cause food allergies and celiac disease.
Infants develop food allergies or intolerance easier than older children or adults. If many different foods are given in a brief period, it is difficult to tell which one may have been responsible for a reaction. Because of this difficulty, parents should introduce new foods one at a time, no more than one new food a week. Once it is clear a food is tolerated, another one may be introduced.
Single-grain cereals (such as iron-fortified rice cereal) are begun first, followed by fruits and vegetables. Pureed meats, which are a good source of protein, iron, and zinc, should be introduced later, after about 7 months. Many infants initially reject meat.
The food should be offered on a spoon so that the infant learns the new feeding technique. By age 6 to 9 months, infants are able to grasp food and bring it to their mouth, and they should be encouraged to help feed themselves. Pureed home foods are less expensive than commercial baby foods and offer adequate nutrition. However, commercial preparations of carrots, beets, turnips, collard greens, and spinach are preferred for infants who are under age 1 year because they are screened for nitrates. High nitrate levels, which can cause methemoglobinemia (a disorder that affects the blood's ability to carry oxygen) in young children, are found in vegetables that are grown using water supplies contaminated by fertilizer.
Although infants enjoy sweet foods, sugar is not an essential nutrient and should be given only in small quantities, if at all. Sweetened dessert baby foods have no benefit for babies. Juice is a poor source of nutrition, contributes to cavities, and should be limited to 4 to 6 ounces a day or avoided altogether.
Foods to avoid include
Eggs and peanuts (until age 1 year) because infants may become allergic to these foods
Honey (until age 1 year) because it may contain the spores of Clostridium botulinum, which are harmless to older children and adults but can cause botulism in infants
Foods that can easily cause choking or be inhaled (until age 2 or 3 years), including nuts, hard candies, soybeans, popcorn, hot dogs, meat (unless it is pureed), and grapes (unless they are cut into very small pieces)
At or after age 1 year, children can begin drinking whole cow's milk. At age 2 years, children can switch to reduced-fat milk because their diet essentially resembles that of the rest of the family. Parents should limit milk intake to 16 to 24 ounces a day in young children. Children who drink too much milk may not get enough nutrients from other important foods and may develop iron deficiency.
By about age 1 year, the growth rate usually slows. Children require less food and may refuse it at some meals. To determine how much their child is eating, parents should review how much their child has eaten over the course of a week rather than at a single meal or during a day. Underfeeding of solid food is only a concern when children do not meet expected weight percentiles at a steady rate (see Figure: Weight and Length Charts for Infants from Birth to 24 Months of Age).

(WASHINGTON) — Voters will either elect a master painter or expert snow shoveler to the White House come November.
"I've painted rooms, stained floors. Oftentimes I don't even need to put down a drop cloth," Mitt Romney told Oprah Winfrey in a sit-down interview for an upcoming issue of her magazine. "I'm good enough at it."
And though it's been quite some time since Obama has had household chores, he has a knack for shoveling snow.
"You try chipping some ice off some windshields when it's five below at six in the morning," he said from their interview in the White House.
The comments come as both Romney and his wife, Ann, as well as Obama and first lady Michelle Obama get personal with the queen of media for the first time this presidential cycle.
The contenders dished on favorite foods (pizza for the president, Ann Romney's meatloaf cakes for the former governor), their visions for the world, and just one thing they like about each other.
"I really like the healthcare bill that he passed in Massachusetts. It was great," Obama said.
For Romney, it was the Osama Bin Laden raid: "Well, I'm glad he got Osama bin Laden, that's one. A man's been in office three and a half years, he does hundreds of things," he said. "I'm sure there are a few that are fine."
The full interviews will be available on Oct. 9 when O, The Oprah Magazine hits the newsstands.
In it, Ann Romney says she laughed off the controversy that erupted after Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen suggested that as a stay-at-home-mom she "never worked a day in her life."
"Frankly, it was rather humorous to me," Romney said, according to excerpts. "Because it was like, maybe she should visit my house once and see what it's like. Raising children is the hardest job that there is on the face of the Earth. There's no question about it and I think that Mitt would agree."
Here are some more tidbits from the interview:

Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
Well, as I posted in another thread I just got the Jeep back from service at my independent mechanic (27,800 miles), one of the first times I've been able to take it to him since there weren't any outstanding niggling warranty items that needed to be done. I had a grinding noise at higher speeds when getting on the brakes. He gets the wheels off and finds that the rotors and pads are gummed up, the rotors and hubs are so corroded the rotors were fused onto the hubs. We both agreed the best course of action was to replace the pads and go ahead and replace the rotors as well since they were so bad (I saw them, they were VERY bad). 28k miles isn't great for brakes, but we're pretty hard on the brakes.
While he was at it he found that the steering rack was leaking, so I need to take it in to Jeep for that under warranty (I saw the TSB, but mine should be outside the affected range).
So, this afternoon...A/C stops working, and of course we are leaving for a 300 mile trip tomorrow morning. The A/C is working, the issue is the fan is only very slightly blowing, even on high. I took it over to Jeep at about 3:00 this afternoon, they are open until 7...hopefully they can do something so we're not stuck driving it with no A/C. Was planning to leave tomorrow at 10AM.
Can't take the Lexus because its both of us and the dog, and we're going to be going places we can't get to in the Lexus.
I've been a big defender of this vehicle on here, but I gotta admit I am getting frustrated. I was damn near trading it in on something else when that A/C quit this afternoon. I am just not accustomed to dealing with these constant issues, there is just ALWAYS something it seems like. I feel like I'm driving a 15 year old vehicle, not one that isn't even 2 yet!

Re: Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
Sorry to hear that. I really wish that Americna manufacturers understand that it is no use braggin' about where the vehicle can go if it can't take your there. Reliability, durability, and dependability are the three horsemen of vehicular manufacturing. Toyota had it and to a large extent still rides of their reputation deservedly or not. Lexus has it. Honda has it. Does not matter how much it can tow if it can't even fire up and start moving. US manufacturers need to hire some folks out of Lexus from the QC side and learn from them. Making things reliable and durable reduces warranty costs, enhances resale value, and retains more customers. Better profits and sales in the long run.
Re: Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
That was the conversation I had with my mechanic, my Jeep was the first WK2 he's worked on, his background is as a Lexus master tech and he specializes in asian cars but of course works on anything. He said he loved driving it, loved how it looks, loved the interior but that the issue was that Chrysler still doesn't understand that a quality vehicle comes from the inside out. Toyotas/Hondas, etc are so reliable because of the high quality of components, be they brake components or electrical components. Short of the brakes and the steering rack, every issue I have had has been a failure of some electrical control from the cruise control (X2), to the switches on the steering wheel, to the door locks, to the rear window release, to the HVAC issue. Its poor quality electrical components, plain and simple.
I'm starting to not be able to imagine owning this outside of the warranty...these things would be an incredible expense (just dropped $500 for brakes at 27k miles), and its EVERY time it goes in for service.
Re: Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
Do you have an extended warranty? Or are you not even interested in one and just want to get a different vehicle?
Re: Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
they had to cut my rotors at 11,000 although they say that it is all the drivers driving habits idn how much braking I could have done to have them cut so early
Re: Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
Re: Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
Its posts like these that may very well keep me from buying another Jeep. Part of me says to run from a potential reliability/maintenance problem. Another part keeps telling me how much I enjoyed my previous two Jeeps. Yesterday, NHTSA came out with their most complaints list. Jeep is number two (complaints per 100K vehicles), right behind MINI. I really like MINI, but would never seriously consider buying one because of their horrid reliablity.
I know about warranties. But, having to get your car to the dealer and to put up with dealer service personnel, makes it such a huge hassle you'd almost pay someone to fix the problem if it was easier all the way around. The old saying "time is money" plays heavily when you have to spend hours getting a warranty repair taken care of.
Will just keep monitoring Jeep reliability until there seems to be a clear result.
Re: Starting to get a little frustrated with the Jeep...my tale of woe
As much as I love my 2014 Jeep GC Limited so far, I will definitely be trading it in before the warranty wears out.
Maybe I'll get another one if Chrysler works out all the major bugs, but between my own experiences with warranty repair, and the horror stories of others on this site, confidence is low when it comes to the reliability of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I think most cars last good until 100k miles but after that they get expensive. Really only have 2 choices, trade it in or fight through it paying to fix lots if stuff but you have no car payment.
It sounds to me that the OP brake issue may be a case of neglect. Maintenance guide intervals are for normal driving habits. Take you vehicle off road, submerge in water 20" deep, hard braking and drive in salted snow requires additional maintenance.
Maybe the electrical corrosion is related to this as well.

Paul McCartney Explains His Performance Issues at the London Olympics
Paul McCartney has taken full responsibility for his performance flub at the London Olympics Opening ceremony. McCartney told NME that the moment when he started singing "Hey Jude" early and fell out of time with his pre-recorded vocals and backing track was all his fault.
"I f**ked up," the former Beatle said. "I was supposed to wait for a cue. But I forgot. Why? Well, there's this bloody great bell that we didn't know about. It was deafening… We prerecorded a playback in case all hell broke loose… We were live, everyone was there, the world was ready and this bloody great bell goes off. And I forget I've gotta wait for it, so I go, 'Hey Jude', and someone presses the playback. So there's me on the backing track, and actual me; two of us singing. The drummer wouldn't look at me because he was in hysterics and I was thinking, 'What have I done?' There was no stopping, it was the Olympics."

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton announced Tuesday that he has prostate cancer, revealing the diagnosis hours after collapsing while delivering his State of the State address the night before.
The 69-year-old Democratic governor said he plans to finish the final two years of his term, during which he faces a unified GOP front after Republicans took control of the Senate and strengthened their House majority in November.
Asked whether he still felt up to the job, Dayton said: "I think I am. If I don't, I won't continue."
Dayton underwent tests Tuesday at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester to determine what caused the collapse. In a statement Tuesday evening, Clinic...

A High School Senior with a Rare Disease Asked Taylor Swift to the Prom
Taylor Swift got invited to another high school prom, but this might be one she'll actually attend. A boy named Devon Whitney made a YouTube video asking Taylor to his senior prom in Aurora, Colorado.
Devon has an extremely rare disease called Oto-Palatal-Digital Syndrome, or OPD. He's had over two-dozen surgeries since he was born. The syndrome also makes Devon look a little different.
He told Denver's KUSA-TV, quote, "People stare at me because of the way I look. They laugh at me and talk behind my back. And sometimes I can hear them. You want to say something, but you can't. And it hurts."
Devon says he's too shy to ask anyone in school to the prom, so he decided to shoot for the moon and see if Taylor would go.
His YouTube video has gotten over 9,800 views and I'm guessing word has probably gotten back to Taylor by now. We sure hope she can make this happen.
Here's the KUSA news report about Devon. Take a look and I guarantee you'll be pulling for him…
And here's Devon's YouTube video.

He is charged with having murdered Ervin Loman another oilfield worker whose home was at Pittstown. • • • A preliminary hearing started Tuesday morning in the Percy Armstrong justice of peace court. Aubrey Grant (Orb) Murray is charged with having murdered Ervin Loman at Pittstown late Tuesday afternoon, March 26. Spectators were so numerous that the cause had to be moved from the small justice of peace court room to the district court room. No Space Left After spectators had gathered, there was no standing room left in the room. Men, women and children alike scrambled for places to sit. The crowd hearing the case was one of the largest to hear a preliminary hearing in justice court in recent years. Most of the witnesses for the state had been called to the witness stand before noon and the defense was scheduled to take over soon after lunch. Details On Wednesday Murray, the accused, has been in county jail since the shooting incident took place a week ago. Judge Armstrong said that he could not make bond. Details of the hearing and testimony of witnesses will be carried in the Wednesday edition of The News as the hearing was still in progress at press time Tuesday. ✓ Chinese Reds Make New Demands Over Troop Movemenls CHUNGKING, April 2.—(ZP)— The Chinese communists demanded anew today that American forces cease transportation of nationalist troops to Manchuria as the dispute about the size of forces the communists and central government should maintain in the northern territory broke out again. A dispatch from Yenan, communist headquarters, which repeated the demand to the United States, charged that government troops are being poured into Manchuria for "civil war purposes." "Satisfactory settlement of this question (of relative forces in Manchuria) will decide the prospect of peace in Manchuria and the whole country," the dispatch said. The Central daily news reported that government troops entered the Manchurian port of Yinkow at the head of the Gulf of Chihli on the night of March 28. The communists contended that the nationalist troops are "going all out to precipitate larger scale hostilities against communist and local popular forces in Manchuria before the arrival of the cease fire field teams in order to frustrate efforts to end hostilities." O I e n Clements, Associated Pres.; correspondent, reported dispatches in the independent Chinese newspaper, Ta Kung Pao, announced that Russian forces had evacuated Mengkia, southwest of Mukden, and on leaving had fired the former Japanese barracks. Another dispatch to the same paper said approximately 600 Chinese communists yesterday had attacked the railway station at Santzetien, near Tsinan in Shantung province for two hours. The communists charged in the controversy over the size of forces to be maintained in Manchuria that the central government was violating the agreement it had made. WEATHER OKLAHOMA — Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday; continued warm: lowest temperatures tonight will be in the 60's except in upper 50's in Panhandle. Forecast For April 2-5 Missouri. Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska — showers and thunder storms most of district Thursday and Friday and Nebra-ka and western Kansas Wednesday. Precipitation moderate to heavy; cooler Kansas and Nebraska Wednesday and remainder of district Thursday or Friday; warmer Saturday and Sunday; temperatures averaging 5 degrees above normed. Vote Results To Be 'Aired' News to Announce Returns At Office as They Come in, KADA to Broadcast Totals Who won? We'll know tonight, soon after the returns from 16 voting precincts are brought in to the office of the county election board. The Ada News will have a loudspeaker setup functioning at the office on North Broadway, ready to go when the first report comes in—and is expecting this to happen soon after the polls close at 7 p.m. The returns will be announced until the final returns are in and totaled. Station KADA, in cooperation with The News, will 'air' the results at the 8:15 to 8:30 period tonight and will also make announcements at later intervals of the outcome of the voting today. - ...............-jt............-....... Monday Holiest April 10n Book; 1920 Wont Month There wasn't any foolin' about the weather here on Monday, which happened to be April I. It was the hottest April I recorded in Ada since keeping of official records started back in 1911. The maximum out at the Ada Greenhouse was 95 degrees, which means still higher temperatures in downtown Ada. April has produced many 90 and above temperatures during the past 27 years, the highest being a 99 degree reading on April 12, 1936. That same month had 97 on the 13th, 90 on the 15th and 30th. But April of 1920 was the hottest April on record—just such a month as threatens unless relieving coolness comes along soon. The premature heat wave really hit here on the 10th of that month with 94 degrees. Here are the 90 and over readings for the remainder of the month—on the lith—91 degrees; 12th—92; 13th —94; 14th—95; 15th—95; 16th— 98; 17th—92; 21st—91; 26th—91; 27th—90; 28th—91; 29th — 92; 30th—97. Some of the other high April temperatures included: April 12, 1923—90; April 15, 1924 — 92; April 21, 1925—90; April 16, 1925 —90; April 19. 1928—90; April 9, 1930—92; April 9, 1933—91; April 26. 1939—90; April 15, 1945—90. So 90 and over in April isn't unusual after all. Grand Jury Being Called Here For Monday, April 15 Tom D. McKeown, newly appointed county attorney, Tuesday morning announced that the court is issuing its call for a grand jury in Pontotoc county for April 15, 1946. He said that a joint request is being made to the governor to order the attorney general to assist in the investigation by the grand jury. Ada ministers presented District Judge Tai Crawford with a petition signed by 56 citizens of Pontotoc county and the petition requested that the judge call a grand jury in this county. At the time the petition was presented to the judge, he said that he would possibly call a grand jury about April 15. The county attorney, who is known to many as "Uncle Tom" or "Judge," has appointed J. W. Dean to serve temporarily as assistant county attorney. WAVE Balr Is ta Hospital Again Recovering from Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Suffered on Boat Life as a WAVE continues to be exciting for Frances Bair, C Sp., niece of Miss Fannie Nun-nally, 214 East Twelfth, Ada. Recently she was traveling by boat from the air base at Quonset Point, R. I., to Newport Naval Hospital, Newport, R. I., for an operation to remove a metal plate she had worn since January of 1944. She had suffered a leg fracture in 1944 while skiing in Northampton, N. J. On the way to the hospital the other day she was overcome by carbon monoxide gas and was later reported in the hospital recovering from shock. She has written her family assuring them that she is doing fine and has been enjoying her work. She will be in tile hospital possibly three weeks this time. Tolab Al Midday Far Below Those Of (My Primary Ado Voters Selecting Two City Commissionors, Mom-bors of Frookoldor Board Adans who went to the polls some 3,200 strong two weeks ago will show considerable apathy today in the run-off vote despite earnest efforts of candidates to maintain earlier fervor among the citizens. Reports from a number of precinct voting places at midday showed vote totals far below those of the same time in the city primary. Mayor's Race "Missing** . One race that had considerable influence in getting out the vote in the first election was settled then—that for mayor—and so its impetus is missing from today's balloting. Luke B. Dodds won over two opponents in that earlier vote. Today his name is on the ballot— all alone—any one votes at all would make his election formally official. Workers were combing the city, however, for other candidates. Two Commission Places Interest centered in the race for commissioner of public works and property, now held by J. D. Willoughby, who two weeks ago nosed out Henry Kroth for a place in the run-off against Burrell Oliver, who led the vote then. Kroth • tallied almost 1,000 votes which gave both surviving candidates a wide field of votes to be sought Ray Martin, finance commissioner, and his opponent Drew Thomas, have made industrious and earnest campaigns. Winners will take office in early May. Two Freeholder Contests The board of freeholders will be known tonight when the returns are in. There are contests in Wards I and 3, with only two men entered from each of the other two, and with each ward to have two representatives on the board. Some quiet campaigning has been done in this part of the race, too, a citizens' committee seeking revision of the city charter for more efficient government backing two candidates in each ward. Death Toll In Seismic Wave Disaster Climbs With Many Missing, Damage In Millions BHI-.'IsyJ iMMUfiSJOl Fierce Kurd tribesmen, like those pictured above, are reported in rebellion in Iran's wild northwest region for the purpose of setting up an independent Kurdistan republic. Said to be Soviet-backed, the rebels' force includes Kurds of both Iran and Iraq. Some Farm-Markel Road Lettings Set For April 23 OKLAHOMA CITY, April 2.— (ZP)—Routes for 571.4 miles of farm-to-market roads in more than a score of Oklahoma counties have been approved by the Public Roads Administration and several of the projects will be ready for letting April 23, it was announced today. H. E. Bailey, chief engineer of the state* highway department said bids will be called on the remaining routes as quickly as plans can be prepared by the highway commission and approved by PRA. The new approval brings to 646.86 the number of miles so far approved under the federal aid construction program. Letting Every SR Days "The highway commission plans to hold a letting every 30 days until all projects have been contracted," said Bailey. He pointed out, however, that the approval by PRA doesn't mean that work will be started immediately, but added that a great many projects will be under way within the next few months. The highway commission is also preparing to make awards on 12 highway construction projects held up April 12 because of a controversy over rising costs. They were reapproved by PRA last week following conferences in Washington by Gov. Robert S. Kerr, Bailey and J. Dewey Celements, a member of the highway commission. Awards to successful bidders will be made as soon as contractors assure the commission they can deliver necessary materials and complete the work in the allotted time. Pontotoc County Included Among the farm-to-m a r k e t routes approved under the new order were: Pontotoc county—From a point on federal-aid road No. 38 southwest of Francis westerly to a point on federal-aid road No. 43 approximately six miles north of Ada. Approximately 3.1 miles. Johnston county—From a point on federal-aid road No. 40 at Milburn northeasterly via fillmore and Coleman to a point on federal-aid road No. 42 at Wap-a n u c k a.

Sheriff's Deputy John Riley at Muskogee said the men, both Tulsans, submerged themselves and left only their noses protruding when the pursuing vehicles approached. But when state troopers spotted them and fired into the water they came out with their hands up, Riley added. The suspects were taken to Muskogee for questioning by federal agents investigating the pre-dawn robbery. Undersheriff Fred Hudlin at Tahlequah said the robbers took two sacks of silver coins but overlooked $28,000 in currency after forcing the bank's front door about 1:30 a.m. Riley said the men wdre surprised at their work in the bank by a bus load of students who had been to Muskogee to participate in a parade.

Unofficial estimates placed the Will Reopen Draft Hearing House Committee Avoids Showdown Vote Today, Some Extension Seen WASHINGTON, April 2, UPI— The house military committee voted today to reopen hearings on legislation designed to extend the draft law. Two additional days of hearings started tomorrow were set aside for opposition witnesses. Chairman May (D-Ky.) said the iroiT\ American Federation of Labor probably would lead off. After voting to reopen the hearings over the objections of some members who had sought a showdown vote today, the committee decided to start closed sessions Friday in an effort to reach final decision. The committee already . has heard supporters of draft extension in two days of testimony. Indications were the group would recommend a nine or ten month extension beyond May 15. The army has asked for one year continuance. Committee members reported strong support after today's session for an 18-month limitation on service of new inductees, for a ban against the induction of fathers, and a requirement that the army discharge as quickly as possible all fathers now in service and all men with 18 month service. Enacted in 1940 and continued Hilo's Loss Could Have Been Greater Two or Three Hours Later Waterfront Would Hove Been Swarming with Life By DOUGLAS LOVELACE HILO, Hawaii, April 2.—(ZP)— Hilo's seismic wave death toll might have been in the thousands had it struck two or three hours later than it did. The swells engulfed Hilo's waterfront business district while the city slowly was waking to life yesterday. A little later, employees and shoppers would have thronged warehouses and stores in the ravished area. Warning Waves First The warning given by the two smaller of Hilo's three waves saved hundreds, who had time to flee from the waterfront. This is how the waves struck: The first inundated 50 feet along the waterfront—much of it park and warehouse areas. Cries of warning sounded and people boiled into the streets in a mad rush for higher ground. Few Stayed Behind A few merchants remained to tidy their stores, which were barely touched by the water. Ten minutes later, a second, larger wave struck, driving IOO yards deeper into the city, smashing frailer buildings and strewing mud, coral and debris through Storrs. Volunteers poured into the area, routing laggards. A few minutes later the third wave struck—a towering, angry 20-foot wall of water rushing in from the north at incredible It smashed buildings to smithereens as it coiled and whiplashed (Continued on Page 3 Column 3) Taft Stalks Out Of Hearing Atter Ejection Threat loot at about $35 but Hudlin said j from year to year since then, the act expires May 15.

While committee members are in general agreement that the act must be extended, they are split on how l6ng an extension should be recommended. Mayo, who told reporters he expected final committee action today, favors a continuance only until the middle of September. At that time, he said, congress again should review the needs in the light of world conditions. most of it was recovered. *- Sharp Uphim In (ar, Truck Output Production Lines Rolling Out More Vehicles DETROIT, April 2, (ZP)—Anoth-er sharp upturn in car and truck production this week was indicated today as additional General Motors divisions returned to assembly plant activity. The GM plants had been strike-bound since last Nov. 21. The production lines last week rolled out 43,070 vehicles, the largest single week's output since the war stopped civilian assemblies in February, 1942. This week, with assemblies from GM plants and accelerated output by Ford and Chrysler, the total may reach 50,000 units. The industry in pre-war days produced as many as 150,000 vehicles in one week. The strike of Detroit's munici-pally-owned transportation system has not retarded production activity in the city's automotive factories. It resulted in some absenteeism, company spokesman said, but assembly plant operations always are geared to a certain amount of worker absence. Fainting Spell No Bandit Handicap DETROIT, April 2.—(ZP)—Two bandits, who refused to be put off by a woman's fainting spell, escaped with $190 in cash and $1,900 in clothing and jewelry from a hotel apartment Monday night. They bound and gagged Mrs. Bernice Amsden. 40, the tenant, and her guest, Miss Evelyn Te-beau, 21, of Port Huron. When Mrs. Amsden showed signs of fainting, the men ungagged her, gave her a drink of water, replaced the gag, and continued ransacking the apartment. .Mrs. Amsden didn't faint. U. S. Navy Units To Visit Scandinavia ABOARD THE USS MISSOURI IN THE MEDITERRANEAN, April 2.—(ZP)—Units of the U. S. navy will pay courtesy calls to Scandinavian ports this spring or summer, and later will pay similar calls to ports all over the world, says Admiral H. Kent Hewitt. Hewitt, commander of U. S. naval forces in Europe, said that the Missouri's present trip to Istanbul was not intended tp imply that the United States was offering backing to Turkey. The battleship, with Hewitt aboard, is bearing the body of the late Turkish ambassador to Washington. Mehmet Munir Ertegun, back to his homeland. Hewitt declared, however, that the Missouri would be ready at all times to stand by in any port where she was needed if disturbances threatened American interests. "Although there is no present need," he added. "I would like to see more ships in the Mediterranean. However, under the present situation, we could be reinforced quickly from the Atlantic fleet." Gre -.ter returns for amount invested—Ada News Classified Ads CHECOTAH. Okla., April 2 — (ZP)—Milam King announced today he would not be a candidate for re-election as a democratic state representative from McIntosh county. His prepared statement said that "the time required during regular sessions of the house and senate is more than I am able to devote under present conditions." WASHINGTON. April 2—(ZP) —Senator Taft (R-O) stalked angrily from a senate committee hearing today after Committee Chairman Murray (D.-Mont.) threatened to have him ejected. The row broke out and quickly reached the shouting stage as the senate labor committee began consideration of legislation to set up a national compulsory health insurance plan. Taft broke into a statement by Murray to assert that the bill was "the most socialistic one congress ever had before it." In the exchange, Murray told Taft: Shut Up, Or Else "I want you to subside, to shut up or I'll have the officers called and put you out of this committee room." Murray opened the hearing by commending the Washington post for an editorial in which he said attention was called to some claims that such health bills were "socialistic." "I'll tell you this measure is the most socialistic one congress ever had before it," Taft interrupted. Taft then insisted on making a statement. He managed to shout, above the loud protests of Murray, that he himself would introduce a health bill. Reach Shouting Stage Murray, standing almost shoulder to shoulder with Taft, snapped that he didn't intend to be "bluffed" by "grandstand plays." "You have so much gall," cried Murray, "that you would not let me, the chairman of this committee, conclude my statement." Then, he made his threat to have Taft put out of the committee room. "Mr. Chairman." Taft retorted, "your attitude is not very hopeful. You've shown your intentions to sponsor this purely propaganda measure ..." Murray: "It is not propoganda. Everything that is done to do something for the American people like you coming in any saying it's communistic." Taft: "I didn't say it was communistic: I said socialistic." Murray: "You said something about the full employment bill being communistic." Taft: "So I did. In its original form that was taken right out of the Soviet constitution." Taft kept on trying to get his "statements" into the record as Murray, his face scarlet, shouted continuously at him. After he and Murray had ended up their sentences at one point in the same breath and left a dead silence for a second or so, T».ft exclaimed: "I am a member of this committee. I demand to be permitted to make a statement because I must attend another committee (Continued on Page 2 Column 2) Rescue Planes and Boats Bringing in Some of Missing Who Were Swept Ie Sea Lott of Lite in Hilo Estimated of 300; No Word From Naval Garrison on East Island* Overrun by Soot HILO, Hawaii, April 2.—(AP)—The death toll in the eastern Pacific's worst seismic wave disaster reached 93 today and a naval officer estimated the loss of life in Hilo— chief victim of the boiling seas—might total 300. Damage ran into the millions of dollars. A submarine earthquake which geologists called world-shaking sent giant swells fanning out from the north Pacific at 400 to 500 miles an hour early yesterday. Beaches on Hawaii, the Aleutians and California were lashed by IO to 100-foot waves. The death toll: HAWAIIAN ISLANDS—60 bodies recovered at Hilo; nine on Oahu, seven on Maui and six on Kauai islands. UNIMAK, the Aleutians—Ten men swept to sea from the Scotch Cap lighthouse. CALIFORNIA—One man swept to sea from the Santa Cruz beach. Many were missing in Hilo and in rural Laupahoehoe, but the number was not known. At Honolulu, William W. Monahan, chairman of the Hawaii Red Cross, estimated that not more than 4,000 refugees asked for shelter in all of the Hawaiian islands. Of these, 1,800 were on Oahu and 800 on Hawaii islands. Robert Lindsey, chairman of Red Cross disaster relief here, said 60 bodies had been recovered from wreckage in Hilo and "I expect there will be more." ► Territorial Gov. Ingram Stain-back invoked the Hawaiian defense act "for the safeguarding of life and property and the preservation of law and order" in wave-ravaged areas. Casualty reports appeared to be complete from all damaged areas except the island of Hawaii, on which Hilo with its 25,000 population is located. Some Turning Up There was some hope that Hilo's death toll might not reach the naval of! leer's 300 estimate. A score of persons previously reported missing had been saved from the waters off Hawaii by army and navy air-sea rescue planes and small surface craft. One, a 21-year-old school teacher, Miss Marsue McGinnis, was rescued after eight hours in the water. There was hope also that the waves might not recur today, as feared for a time last night. The commander of the Alaska sea ffontier, at Seattle, emphatically denied as "grossly exaggerated* reports that a 100-foot tidal wave was rushing along the Aleutian island chain toward Kodiak. He added that no new wave was forecast. Damage In Millions Hawaiians "dared not estimate the damage, except in the millions of dollars." Herbert C. Shipman, Hilo Sugar planter, said $700,000 worth of raw sugar was swept into the ocean with destruction of territorial wharfs. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of food in warehouses was destroyed.

Richter of California Institute of Technology. "The wave seemed somewhat out of proportion to the shock itself. "Apparently conditions of earth-motion, the locality, depth of water at the point of the shock and other factors caused an unduly heavy wave, which fanned outward, probably traveling as fast as 400 mph in deep water." There were indications the earthquake, first registering here at 7:38 a.m. (est) yesterday, may have had its Epicenter in the Aleutian deep, which at places plumbs 15,000 feet below the ocean's surface. Dr. Richter added that such phenomena are not uncommon after submarine quakes and this particular one was only moderate in strength. More Wheat Used By U. S. Brewers WASHINGTON, Apr. 2.—(ZP>— Internal revenue bureau figures I today showed more wheat and wheat products were used by brewers in February than in January although their use in beer making was halted by the government February 6. In February, according to the figures, 5,712,312 pounds were used at the breweries against 4,-829,994 in January. Decreases were showrn in February use of hops, malt, corn, rice and their products, while increases were * shown in use of barley, sorghum, say beans, sugar and syrups. The restriction on use of grains other than wheat to 70 per cent of 1945 consumption did not become effective until March I. The cutbacks were ordered to save grain for relief of food-short foreign nations. February beer production dropped about three per cent under Januaiy, bureau figures showed, but there was a compensating rise in stocks. U. S. OII Output Average Has Drop TUIJ5A. Okla..

Where I stayed
At the top, the Mer du Glace glacier swept down the valley in a dramatic curve, framed by dark pines. The moment was slightly less entrancing for the fact that the train station was blasting MJ's "Thriller" from its speakers.
Once I'd had my fill of the views, I rode a red cable car from Montevers down towards the ice caves. A British man in my car, clearly dressed for a good hike in a tan suit and polished leather shoes, said, "I hope this thing doesn't break" as we moved down the mountain. Turning to him, I admonished him not to say such things. He answered, "Well, it is French steel," but shut up after that.
The cable cars only go so far, and then everyone has to hoof it the rest of the way down, taking 350 somewhat slippery metal steps. During this chilly descent (and later, return climb back up) I noticed: 1) Hikers in otherwise appropriate attire (fleeces, hiking boots) in shorts. With snow on the ground. 2) A lady carrying a terrier the whole way. 3) A woman in a snazzy outfit and, most striking of all, pointy-toe patent leather flats. 4) A good number of elderly people. One woman in particular had on stockings and flats. I give them a lot of credit. The way back up, especially, was exhausting and the altitude didn't help.
Finally reaching the ice caves, I observed that the entrance was steadily dripping on my head and hoped the cave would hold for the 10 minutes I needed to explore it. The smooth ice walls were mesmerizing and the artificial purple and blue light otherworldy. Shattering the illusion was yet another sucko soundtrack.
At the end of the tunnel, I stepped into a front hall, decorated with an impressive ice fireplace and mantle. There, I met a moderately cute French guy who worked there with his totally cute St. Bernard, named Alaska. Once I realized that the French guy thought my fawning over his dog was an attempt to make further conversation with him, I gave Alaska a final pat on the head and moved on.
Following the ice hallway, I found carved ice rooms, such as a living room and bedrooms, complete with basic ice furniture, such as tables and chairs. A little museum inside was fairly boring except for the tidbit that the glacier moves 1 cm per day, which means they regularly re-dig the caves.
Back in Chamonix, I visited the Super U to grab some groceries for the next day and save on food costs. Embracing the spirit of risk-taking that had paid off so far during the trip, I made myself put back the pre-packaged meat and cheese that were so temptingly ready to go without a word on my part. "You're in France," I told myself. "Go get some decent food."
At the deli counter, I stumbled through the choosing of some fresh ham and cheese. I had no idea which cheese to pick, since there were approximately 100 varieties, all with names that meant absolutely nothing to me. The girl behind the counter was nice enough to recommend a good cheese to go with the ham, although she seemed thoroughly confused that I didn't know which cheese I wanted. French people tend to know their food. In any case, it turned out to be tasty, even if she did refuse to slice it, which left me prying it apart with my hands back in the hotel room as I made sandwiches for the next day. No clue what it was, so don't even ask.
That night, I splurged on a fondue dinner with the British girls I'd met the night before. We just kind of wandered until we found somewhere cute (dark wood, traditional chalet-style building with those charming window boxes of red geraniums). Inside, the d�cor included cow bells and metal milk jugs, and everyone was speaking French. Definitely a good sign. Savoring a bottle of their cheapest white wine, the three of us enjoyed the glorious views of the mountains.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, the food came. We split a fondue feast that was everything I've ever wanted in a meal. The fondue came with bread cubes and potatoes for dipping, charcuterie and salad. For dessert, we split panna cotta with fresh berry compote and a baseball-sized profiterole heaped with ice-cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
While the food was absolutely perfect, the company made the whole experience. Bridget and Lindy were really nice, down-to-earth girls. We talked about everything from our college majors to the complexity of feeling comfortable but somewhat stuck living at home. We wondered what we're going to do with our lives. Not one of the three of us had a clue.
It was kind of sad to leave my new friends at the end of the night, it was also comforting to know I could easily make friends on the road. Before I left, the potential for loneliness was one of my biggest concerns. Now, I'm thinking it might not be a problem at all. They key is getting up the guts to ask people to do things with you. The whole cab share thing happened because I eavesdropped on the girls, then said, "Excuse me, do you speak English? And are you trying to get to Chamonix?"

Purchased 97 Catera auto auction
This Catera is in excellent shape. Everything currently works though sliding roof is a little flaky at times. If I had know more about the Catera, I do not think I would have purchased it. However I am now the proud owner and really like the comfort and design as well as the gas mileage. I got 25 mpg on first tank using 89% octane. After fist tank I changed the air filter and got a tank of 93% octane and will know if mileage improved shortly.
My biggest concern is the auto transmission and brakes. I took it to a fire stone dealer and explained it was a German engineered car and asked them to do their "full system check" . They were suppose to check all fluid levels and the brakes. After arguing with them over whether it was front wheel drive or had a rear wheel differential and if there was a way to check the fluid level of the automatic transmission, I was very concerned. They did manage to check the rear wheel differential however they were not sure where to check the automatic transmission fluid. My Catera has 104K miles. Should I have the transmission serviced and the filter changed or just be happy everything is currently working so well and leave well enough alone. (Pandoras box) Who makes the best maintenance manual for this car? Does anyone have any used ones for sale at a reasonable price?

Re: Purchased 97 Catera auto auction
RUN as far as you can from this firestone and either take it to a dealer (which may not be much better) or a place that specializes in German/European cars.

Re: Purchased 97 Catera auto auction
With a 104,000 miles the first thing you better check is the timing belt. If this little sucker breaks (Recommended change at 60,000 miles) you can expect a new/used engine replacement or at the very least intake valve (12) replacement along with the associated parts. Just a clue from a owner with 55000 miles and a recent engine rebuild. Fortunately I have a master mechanic son who did the rebuild. Purchased, with exception of the head gaskets, all the parts from Rockauto.com. Very happy with this parts company. Just a word to the wise friend. A.J. Alaska
Re: Purchased 97 Catera auto auction
Thanks for the replies but can anyone here tell me which screw I need to remove from automatic transmission to check the fluid level. Any advice appreciated, but pictures are worth a thousand words

Job: BBC business editor
Age: 48
Industry: broadcasting
New entry
Business stories have come to dominate the news agenda and Robert Peston is right at the vanguard of it.
The BBC business editor has been hugely influential and was responsible for the scoop of the year with his story about the collapse of Northern Rock.His idiosyncratic reporting style may not be to everyone's taste, but his impact in one of the BBC's most high-profile reporting roles is undeniable.
"He is not a great broadcaster, but he is a great business journalist," said one member of our panel.
Peston's Northern Rock story won scoop of the year at the Royal Television Society journalism awards, while Peston himself was recognised with a bronze award for news journalist of the year at the Sony Radio Academy Awards.
He joined the BBC in 2006 from the Sunday Telegraph, where he was City editor and then associate editor.
Previously he had spent nearly a decade at the Financial Times as financial editor, political editor and head of the investigations unit, when he won the What The Papers Say investigative journalist of the year award in 1994.
Another claim to fame during his time on the FT was bringing Will Lewis on board from the Mail on Sunday.
Peston began his career as a stockbroker before becoming a reporter for Investors Chronicle in the mid-80s. He joined the Sunday Telegraph in 2005 after two years as editorial director of Quest, a financial analysis dotcom.
The BBC's business editor post was created by then director general Greg Dyke in 2001 and Peston followed the original incumbent, Jeff Randall, in the post. It has since become one of the BBC's most important roles.
Like his BBC political counterpart Nick Robinson, Peston is a true multimedia presence, cropping up on radio, TV and online with his blog, rather uninspiringly titled Peston's Picks.
Peston also finds time to write books including Brown's Britain, about the rivalry between Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, and his latest, Who Runs Britain? How the Super-Rich are Changing Our Lives, described by one critic as a "lucid and timely guide to the world of turbo-capitalism".
Peston's occasionally stuttering delivery is anything but turbo-charged. "I'm definitely loads better than I was," he told the Daily Telegraph in January. "I am not going to endeavour to become somebody hugely smooth and polished and completely phoney."

The Six Habits That Can Help You Live to 100
Harry Rosen, 103, is charmer, according to The New York Times. He enjoys dinner out every night, often in fancy Manhattan restaurants, almost always ordering fish and enjoying conversations with other diners. When most of us envision a very long life, it's that kind of vitality and engagement we all want.
Researchers call people like Harry Rosen "Super Agers". They reach "old old" age with the physical and cognitive health of people much younger.
Living Better, Not Just Longer
The point of being a Super Ager isn't just to live a long time — it's to live a long, healthy life. "We have to age, but we can, to some extent, add years to life, and to a far greater extent, add life to years," says David Katz, M.D., director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center and author of the new book Disease-Proof: The Remarkable Truth About What Makes Us Well, with Stacey Colino. "Living well is being able to keep doing the things you love to do. Aging well is preserving the capacity to live well — right up to the end."
So how do you get to be a Super Ager?
It's Not All In Your Genes
If your mom or dad is 95, bravo. You've got a leg up in joining the Super Ager club. But genetics is a surprisingly small part of the picture. Research at Boston University School of Public Health has found that genetics only accounts for 20 to 30 percent of the reason people live to be 86 or older. The rest is your lifestyle.
Top 6 Habits
What lifestyle habits have been shown to increase your likelihood of being a Super Ager? "Eating well, being active, not smoking, getting enough sleep, dissipating stress, and sharing love," says Dr. Katz. "After that, everything else is vanishingly less important. I call these: feet, forks, fingers, sleep, stress, and love."
One interesting point: Being an "ideal weight" isn't on Dr. Katz's list. It's not that he thinks weight isn't important, but that it's primarily a function of exercise and good diet — factors we can control.
