What is car rental excess insurance?
Car rental excess insurance provides protection for the excess charges or gap amount from a car rental company in the event your car is damaged or stolen. With some excess charges being upwards of $5,000, this little investment can bring great peace of mind if your hiring a car for a couple of weeks or even a couple of days. While prices will vary between car rental companies, the cost of reducing the car rental excess over the counter can be over $25 per day...with the cost of standalone car rental excess cover as low as $6, it can be a smart choice for those looking to save while still getting comprehensive cover.
What type of damage is usually covered?
Most policies will cover you for the following types of damage;
- Multi and single vehicle accidents
- Cracked or damaged windscreens
- Overhead damage
- Cracked or damaged lights
- Damage to the car undercarriage or wheels
- Damage to bumpers and trim
What else will I be covered for?
- If the vehicle is stolen while in your custody
- Cost of returning the vehicle to the nearest depot if you are unfit to do so
- Repair cost of value of luggage and personal effect that are stolen, accidentally damage or permanently lost. Maximum payment will be a applied (usually around $500)
What options do I have for reducing car rental excess?
When it comes to reducing the excess charged by a rental company, you typically have three options
- Excess reduction cover straight from rental company. This is the simplest option to reduce your rental vehicle excess because you can arrange it directly through the rental company. It reduces the excess you will have to pay to a much more reasonable amount, but it does of course come at a cost. This option will generally work out to be more expensive than the other options listed below, though will probably end up cheaper if you're only renting a car for a couple of days. You also won't have to wait while the excess is refunded by your insurance provider.
Why choose this option?
This is typically an option for convenience if you have not bought travel insurance or car rental excess insurance.
- Travel insurance policy with rental excess insurance feature. Usually a feature on comprehensive travel insurance policies, this benefit will reimburse you up to a certain limit (typically $4000) for any excess or other deductible you become liable to pay under your rental agreement. This cover kicks in if your rental car is involved in an accident or is stolen, and the hiring arrangement must incorporate comprehensive motor insurance against loss or damage to the car. However, the downside of this cover is that you won't find it on basic travel insurance policies.
Why choose this option?
This is a great option if you are travelling and need travel insurance too.
- Standalone car rental excess insurance policy. This type of cover is designed solely to cover any car rental excess you may become liable for. You can choose from annual or daily cover, and these policies often include cover for damage to areas usually excluded by the rental company, such as the windscreen and tyres. Additional drivers named on the rental agreement are also included on the policy.
Why choose this option?
This is a great option if you specifically need a flexible policy designed specifically for car rentals.
How do the costs of each option stack up?

These figures are based on Choice.com.au's 2015 study of car rental excess charges.
Is car rental excess reduction insurance from a rental company more expensive?
Excess reduction insurance from a car rental company often seems like an attractive option, but this type of cover can greatly increase the cost of your car rental. This insurance is charged for every day you hire a car for, and can often more than double the overall cost of hiring a car. As mentioned earlier, reports have shown that the additional daily charge can be as much as $25 per day...the daily rate from provider TripCover to remove excess completely with cover up to $4,000 is just $13.60 per day*
Unless you're only renting a car for a short period of time such as one or two days, in which case this type of cover could be a more affordable option, it pays to look at the other two options available. Travel insurance policies with rental excess insurance features and standalone car rental excess insurance policies can help you save a lot of money on your car hire.

Car rental excess insurance vs. Travel insurance
Most travel insurance policies will offer car rental excess insurance as a built-in feature on both domestic and international policies. The decision of which option to go for will really come down to your own situation and what you want to be covered for. Here are some points on how the two compare;
Standalone car rental excess insurance
- Price not driven by driver age. Usually two age groups of 21-24 and 25-75
- Cover can be provided for campervans at no extra charge
- No distance restrictions for domestic journey
- Price not impacted by pre-existing medical conditions
- Cover provided for all drivers listed on rental agreement
- Also provides cover for luggage and personal effects
- Can cover up to $8,000 in excess charges
- Daily rate may work out to be much more expensive than just taking out travel insurance
Car rental excess insurance on travel insurance brands
- Provides cover for a whole range of other losses i.e. cancellation, medical cover (international trips),
- Price can increase significantly for older travellers or those with pre-existing conditions. May end up being much more expensive if you are an older traveller or have pre-existing conditions
- Will usually have to be 250km from residence for cover to apply
The points above show that the decision on what cover to take out really comes down to your own situation. Both options present both benefits and disadvantages to different travellers. It's worth comparing both options and reading the conditions of each cover closely before taking out one cover over the other.
Liabilities you need to be aware of when renting a car
Understanding your car rental agreement and the insurance that applies can be confusing. There are a few key points to remember.
Third party liability
No matter where you are in Australia, it's mandatory to have third-party insurance in order to register a car, so make sure the rental company has this type of cover in place. Third-party insurance covers you when you cause injuries to other people. You should check to see what sort of protection is in place for you, the driver.
Damage to the vehicle
The rental car company will also offer a basic level of insurance for damages to the car, which can be referred to as names such as a
- Collision damage waiver
- Loss damage waiver
- Damage liability fee
You are liable for the excess in the event of event of an accident. This amount is usually around $3,000 to $4,000. This is where car rental excess insurance can come in.
Benefits of rental car excess insurance
Standalone rental vehicle excess insurance cover has many benefits, including:
- Pay the same despite age. Most insurers will apply the same premium rate for drivers aged 21 - 24 and for drivers aged 25 - 75. By comparison, premiums for domestic travel cover can increase significantly with age.
- Affordability. This type of insurance cover can be up to 60 per cent cheaper than taking out a rental company's excess reduction option.
- Good option for people looking for basic cover. This type of cover is designed solely to cover any car rental excess you may become liable for, and often covers areas of the car excluded from rental company policies.
- Most policies include cover for luggage and personal effects. If any of your luggage or personal effects are stolen, accidentally damaged or permanently lost during your journey, your policy will cover the repair or replacement costs. This adds extra peace of mind when you're travelling.
- Cooling-off period. If you decide that your policy is not right for you, you may cancel it within 14 days after being issued with your Certificate of Insurance and PDS. You will be given a full refund of the premium you paid, provided you have not started your journey and you do not want to make a claim or to exercise any other right under the policy.
- Cover can be taken out on a daily, single trip or annual basis. Cover can be purchased for just a single day, or on a single trip basis to cover you for the duration of your rental agreement. Some providers will also offer annual cover to provide a more cost-effective option for those regularly hiring and driving rental cars.
- All drivers are covered. All drivers listed on your rental agreement are typically covered under this type of insurance policy.
- All excess fees covered. Standalone rental car excess insurance cover protects you against all excess fees, even single vehicle accident excesses.
- Better coverage than rental company cover. Excess reduction cover direct from car rental companies excludes certain types of damage, such as overhead damage, water damage and underbody damage. However, all of these are usually covered under standalone policies.
- Can cover campervans. Most policies will allow you to cover campervans up to 4.5 tones for no extra charge...exclusions usually apply to campervans on travel insurance car rental excess
- No distance restrictions. If your taking out cover within Australia, there is generally no distance restrictions from main residence
- Cover available for international visitors. Cover is usually available for international travellers visiting Australia from overseas
Disadvantages of car rental insurance excess
- Cover is generally just limited to rental insurance excess and luggage and personal effects. However, if you get car rental excess cover as part of a travel insurance policy, this will include cover for other events, such as medical emergencies.
- Not all policies will provide cover for international car hire, with some limiting their coverage to car hire to Australia only. Read the PDS closely to make sure you know what each policy does and does not cover.
- You may have to pay the excess amount upfront to the car hire company and claim it back from the insurer. If you've got a cash flow problem or simply don't have access to enough money to cover the excess, this could be a significant problem.
When you won't be paid
As a general rule, you will not be able to make a claim under your car rental excess insurance policy if:
- You were under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time the loss occurred.
- You do not act sensibly and responsibly to protect yourself and your property.
- You do not do everything possible to reduce your loss.
- Your claim is a result of you breaking the law or breaking any government ban or regulation.
- Your claim is a result of any act of war, rebellion, revolution etc.
- Your claim is a result of any act of terrorism or nuclear contamination.
- Your claim is related to depression, anxiety, stress or other mental or nervous conditions.
- Your claim arises from motor sports of any kind.
- The loss or damage is caused by detention or confiscation by customs or other officials or authorities.
- You are travelling against the advice of your doctor, or if you've booked or undertaken your trip after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.
- Your claim arises from or is exacerbated by an existing medical condition.
- Your claim is somehow related to pregnancy.
- Your claim involves suicide or a self-inflicted injury.
Accidental damage excess Vs Single vehicle accident excess
When taking out an insurance policy to reduce your excess, it pays to read the fine print and make sure you fully understand when your cover will and will not apply. For example, some insurance policies will only reduce your rental excess if your car is involved in an accident with another vehicle. This is called the accidental damage excess.
However, many people are unaware that if they are involved in a single vehicle accident, such as scraping the car on a wall or maybe hitting a kangaroo, a separate excess will apply on top of the accidental damage excess. This second charge is the single vehicle accident excess, and can end up adding another couple of thousand dollars to your overall bill.
Most hire car companies will not make you aware of the single vehicle accident excess when you take out cover. As a result, renters must be ready to read the fine print of any rental agreement before signing on to make sure exactly how many excesses each policy has and in what different situations they will apply.
How do I avoid unexpected expenses?
- Inspect first. Make sure you give your rental car a thorough inspection before you drive away and make sure any existing damage is included in the condition report.
- Read the terms and conditions. Take a close look at your rental agreement and the insurance you have in place. Make sure you're aware of when you are covered and what is excluded.
- Shop around for insurance. If you're looking for cover to reduce the excess you'll have to pay in the event of an accident, compare your options and shop around for a better deal. You may be able to find superior cover directly from an insurer rather than buying from the car rental agency.
- Return time. Arrange to return the vehicle at a time when it can be handed over to a person. Get that person to sign-off on the vehicle's return so that you are not liable for any damage. Consider taking photos of the vehicle when you return it.
- Pay for tolls yourself. If you can, use your own e-tag so that you aren't slugged with any extra administration charges.
- Damage list. If the car is damaged while it's in your possession, ask the rental company for an itemised account of any repairs required.
What are my rights if I rent a car?
Most of the rights you have when renting a car are governed by the rental agreement you sign with the car agency, so it pays to read the fine print in this document closely. However, you also have some protection under Australian Consumer Law. Some of these rights include:
- Consumer guarantees. Which mean that the vehicle you rent must be of a reasonable quality (roadworthy, clean, free from defects), must match the model you booked and must be fit for the purpose specified by you or the rental company.
- Protection against unfair terms. Australian Consumer Law also offers protection against things like false and misleading claims, and conduct that is deceptive and misleading.
Making a claim - tips to make sure you are paid
- Before you travel, make sure you know what evidence you will need to make a successful claim. If you are travelling with expensive items that you wish to cover, it is likely you will need original receipts or proof of ownership. Similarly, in the event of an accident you may need to obtain police and medical reports to validate your claim
- Contact your insurer as soon as possible. Don't leave it till you get home to speak with your insurer, contact them as soon as possible so you know exactly what they require for your claim to be paid
- Co-operate. Make an effort to work closely with your insurer to provide them with everything they need for your claim
- Get evidence from officials. If you are trying to claim for loss or theft, or damage to your rental vehicle or luggage, receive an official report from the local policy a representative from your transport official
- Take your time with the claims documents. Make an effort to fill out all the necessary documentation as best you can and provide all the necessary supporting documentation on time

Currently it's only a Tropical Depression that is pretty disorganized and has seen very little (if any) change since this afternoon. It might... maybe... be a Tropical Storm sometime tonight but most likely not until tomorrow if it's going to do it.
Tampa had rain tonight from this Tropical Depression, but not too much. Sunday night and Monday morning will be the times to keep a close (and active) watch this weather system since the NHC is speculating landfall will be Monday afternoon just north of Tampa.06-11-2006, 10:41 AM #10

NHC put out it's 10am (CDT) update and the tropical depression has now been upgraded to a Tropical Storm and named Alberto. The weather system has also slowed a bit as NHC is now speculating that it will make landfall a short time after midnight Monday night.
The center has become a little more organized, however it's still not a well organized storm and it's not really being expected to get much stronger than it is currently (but this is the weather we're talking about, not exactly something entirely predictable).
That being said, there's some weather going on a little north (northwest) of Alberto that has the potential to either intensify the tropical storm a little while speeding it up or severely weaken it. It will all depend on how and where those two weather systems collide.
Currently it's bright and sunny here in Tampa with some clouds, but no sight of rain so... I'm going to the park!06-11-2006, 01:51 PM #11
We have had some wind and rain here(central) but not bad. So much for the sunshine more gloomy all day. We had been planning on heading over to Sebastion this monring and play in the tide pool(we always see manatees in it and it is great). Mother nature had other plans though.06-11-2006, 02:36 PM #12

At work this afternoon we had our mandatory evacuation. We are in Citrus County, and my office is right on the Gulf, so we are up in the air about tomorrow. The wind is just starting a little bit now, it rained all day, now it has stopped for a little bit.06-12-2006, 06:28 PM #14
Julie - I saw that on the news tonight about the mandatory evacuations, but they didn't exactly say why. They vaguely mentioned something about potential storm surge. I'm not familiar with the west coast at all.
We had a good amount of rain here yesterday afternoon and then a really good thunderstorm coupled with a tremendous downpour this afternoon. It's been gloomy all day. Today definitely would not have been a good day to visit Sebastian Inlet.06-12-2006, 07:51 PM #15

Kim, Yeah we have 10 ft. storm surge warnings, tornado warnings until tomorrow morning, and hurricane warnings. Because of high tide tonight, the full moon, and the storm surge, they are afraid of the flooding. That is where I work.
Where I live, they are worried about tornados. They just came by about an hour ago with the police and firemen, telling people in the trailers to get out.

Which is better: dishwasher or washing dishes by hand?
By Wendy Ruopp, April 18, 2012 - 11:30am
Anyone who's ever watched a teenager (grudgingly) wash one fork at a time when it's their turn to do the dinner dishes has probably had the thought "I wonder if that's really the most efficient use of our resources." Actually, your first thought is probably, "How does the child manage to run the hot water continuously yet get the task done at such a glacial pace?" (Don't Miss: How to Save Time in the Kitchen: Our Best Time-Saving Ingredients & Cooking Tips) In any case, your suspicions that it's really not the best thing for the environment are borne out by research.
Related: Best & Worst Proteins for Your Diet & The Environment
A study out of the University of Bonn in Germany, reported by Pablo Päster in the May/June issue of EatingWell Magazine, found that washing a load of dishes (12 place settings) by hand uses on average 27 gallons of water and 2.5 kilowatt-hours of energy to heat the water—equivalent to running a hair dryer for 2 1/2 hours. (Not to mention the parental energy it takes to get your kid to wash all those dishes in the first place.)
By comparison, an energy-efficient dishwasher uses about 4 gallons of water and 1 kWh of energy per load. (And over the course of a year, using the dishwasher saves more than 400 hours of labor!) Researchers also found that dishwashers cleaned better, as half of the hand-washers failed to reach an "acceptable level" of cleanliness.
Don't Miss: 7 Simple Ways to Detox Your Diet & Kitchen
As far as we know, the researchers shed no light on how to get your family to load the dishwasher properly, start it when it's full and then put the clean dishes away without complaining about it.
Don't Miss: 5 Ways to Green Up Your Diet
Lower your carbon footprint even more—and save money—with these tips:
• Scrape food off plates before loading the dishwasher, but don't pre-rinse.
• Only run a full load and load it per the manufacturer's suggestions for maximum cleaning. (Don't Miss: 9 Green Products for a Healthy Kitchen.)
• No dishwasher? Hand-wash dishes right away (you'll use less water when there's no stuck-on crud).

The Suzuki Access is old-school to look at with styling that will fail to thrill all but the most conservative. The scooter enjoys mid-size proportions that are comfortable enough for an adult male.
The Access portrays a rounded and simple silhouette, with flush fitting clear indicators set into its front apron. The scooter's clear lens and halogen-equipped headlamp offers decent illumination at night. Analogue gauges are well laid out with an easily legible speedometer, odometer and offset fuel gauge set around other predictable icons. The Suzuki provides good control levers and Activa-inspired switches and mirrors. A rear brake locking clamp allows riders to activate the rear brake when parked to prevent the gearless scooter rolling backwards or forward. The Access restricts unlawful access by deterring thieves with a locking system that cuts off key entry via a shutter. The ignition key unit is a one-stop place from where even the scooter seat bay can be opened. This Suzuki scooter sadly lacks front fuel-filling. Also absent is basic front storage space, with even the solitary bag hook being located out-of-the-way, too low and close to the floorboard to carry any respectable bag. We were also surprised to find the Access wanting for an integrated floor-mat.
The rear of the scooter looks bulbous and is further spoilt by its unshapely silencer. The Access does offer mounts for a spare wheel to attach on its tubular grab bar. The well laid out integrated tail lights bring up the Suzuki's tail.
Suzuki's Access offers outstanding paint lustre while its non-metal panels fit together seamlessly, with flawless fit and finish throughout.

Yes, I found what was wrong...
After almost 6 months of searching, reading, testing, I found small leak between cylinder 3 and cylinder 4. So the leak is from one cylinder to another, no other systems involved so I had no problems with oil, coolant or leak outside.
It was internal leak only and that was determined with the "leak down" test. At this point there is no way to see inside and figure out where is leaking but it's one of the 2 things. Or is cracked head or blown gasket. Many will say gaskets are not going bad on these cars as they are layered metal plates, but that was exactly the reason for this fault. Take a look at the photos. I had to take the head off, resurface it, replace head gasket and other parts when I was at it.
Car is now like new, but taking those exhaust nuts off was pain in the *ss.
I hope this helps, and by the way the original issue, before it started to misfire was O2 Sensor PreCat bank2. It was too slow and once replaced secondary air would get ready on first trial.
Good Luck

Nervousness, irritability, tiredness , sleeping problems, anxiety or panic attacks are just a few of magnesium deficiency symptoms. Having an alert type of living your life, a chaotic food diet and daily stress are factors that contribute a lot in "disappearance" of magnesium.
So what is magnesium deficiency?
Magnesium represents one of the most important minerals in our organism. With calcium, phosphorous and other nutrients, magnesium helps in maintaining a good physical and psychical state. Magnesium has an important role in producing energy, in synthesizing acids and proteins, muscular relaxation and regulates our metabolism. An important part is also played in our hormonal activity, in diabetes and kidney stones prevention.
Most times magnesium deficiency symptoms aren't correctly identified by doctors, because it doesn't appear in blood tests. Only 1% of the entire quantity of magnesium in our body is located in blood. Magnesium deficiency is especially caused by the lack of magnesium in organism, which is procured from fruits and vegetables. Also, an excess of calcium in our organism can lead to symptoms of magnesium deficiency. This deficiency is the result of many factors that absorb this mineral and are reducing its absorption in organism.
Magnesium deficiency can be caused by a series of affections as pancreatitis, excessive sweating or cardio problems. Also, alcohol, digestive problems or surgical operations can reduce magnesium systematization by our body. Known fact is that women suffer of a great loss in magnesium during their menstrual cycle.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency
When our organism has low levels in magnesium, it reacts in different ways. Pains of head, of stomach or feet are among the most frequent symptoms of magnesium lack in organism. Muscular cramps or rigidity around neck are alarming symptoms.
Jaw pains are other symptoms caused by lack of magnesium. These pains appear suddenly and don't last very long , but for sure they are very unpleasant. Other symptoms that lead to magnesium deficiency is the chest pain that appears seldom, but for sure has an unpleasant impact when we're experiencing it.
Lacking magnesium is also manifesting in our central nervous system. Symptoms can be very grave when also the level of calcium in our body is low. Low levels in magnesium are most times manifested through anxiety, panic attacks, nervousness and strange behavior. Once with panic attacks and anxiety there can appear other symptoms more unpleasant as fear of open spaces, agoraphobia and insomnia. Low levels of magnesium in organism are affecting our movement too. This leads to hands and feet paralysis.
Cardiac system is also affected by magnesium deficiency symptoms. There are increased chances for palpitations and chest pains. Heart beats become unregulated and in severe cases symptoms look very much like a heart attack.
Also, if magnesium is missing in an organism it can lead to behavior changes. Persons that usually are relaxed and confident suddenly become tensed, nervous and pessimists. Most times, persons that have a low level of magnesium have a crazy appetite for chocolate. Women can experience changes in menstrual cycle. Both men and women become more frustrated, especially if they experience panic attacks too.
Other symptoms of magnesium missing in an organism are somnolence, anorexia, apathy, confusion, tiredness, lacking concentration and weak memory. Permanent contraction of muscles, delirium, paralysis, hallucinations, itches in all body are severe symptoms of magnesium deficiency symptoms. In these situations the person the has these symptoms has to immediately consult a doctor.

Umm incase you cannot comprehend this is for you and your friend warrior. Chrysler is NOT outsourcing jobs to another country. They are not closing down production plants here and moving them overseas. They are building new plants and all revenue from those will be added to the companies revenue here in the United States. Get it? I still do not think you do. Outsourcing is what mitt Romney does when he takes our steel production and closes down their plants then sends those jobs overseas. Get it? I still do not think you do. Mitt Romney closed down Sensata Technologies and moved the production to China because it was cheaper to make the product then ship it back to the U.S., rather than make it here with higher labor. CEO of Chrysler called out Romney and said what he said was a lie and made a big joke of the matter during the campaign if you were actually paying attention.<quoted text>
Let see, you bad mouthed Romney and all American companies that outsourced and now that a company is going to do it under your hero's watch, it is okay.

iBeetle app for iPhoneEnlarge Photo
Actually, we don't mind Mondays that much as it's a perfect excuse for us to find something that makes the day a little bit more fun, and this week we've dug up five iPhone apps for the ardent Volkswagen fan.
Turns out the Apple App Store is littered with VW-themed apps so we've tested a bunch, all available for free, that can keep you occupied on your lunch breaks throughout the week.
You'll have to bear with us on this one, as the whole app seems to be in Spanish. The description on iTunes claims other languages are available, but it doesn't seem too difficult to work out.
Step one, for some reason, is to draw a big "i" on a piece of paper (or type in "i" into Google images and hover your iPhone camera over it). A Beetle then appears which you can spin around and zoom in and out of. You can also choose from a few different colors and wheel options.
With the camera still active you can then take a photo of your virtual Beetle in a real scenario - a nice use of augmented reality. We were inside a room when we tested the app so had to settle for a photo of a street we found on the internet.
Overall it's a fun - if rather limited - app and if you've not yet put your name down on a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, it's a good way of seeing what one will look like on your driveway...

When Artie Mae Grisby crossed the commencement stage on May 11, she was among the oldest graduates in University of Northern Colorado history at 79.
Although she's proud of earning her bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, the completion of her degree is just one step on a lifelong journey that didn't end on graduation day.
"I keep my feet flat on the floor," Grisby said recently at UNC's Center for Urban Education (CUE) in Denver, where she took classes for the past two years. "This is my time, that's all."
She said she never thought she'd go into a career working with children after visiting a friend's childcare center in her home state of Louisiana many years ago.
Nor did she imagine that she'd go on to become a sought-after childcare trainer and first aid instructor for the state of Colorado.
"I was a nurse for a few years before I worked in the insurance business. After 10 years of that, I knew I had to do something else," she said.
But she didn't know what so she turned to her religious faith and prayed for guidance on her next steps. The message was clear.
"'Childcare,' the Lord told me. And I said, 'No, not me!'" But each time she prayed, the answer was the same. "So I finally decided to listen. I said, 'Ok, I'll quit my job and I'd better have one child in my care by August 1.'"
On Aug. 1, 1984, Grisby had two children signed up for her in-home daycare.
She went on to run her own childcare for 24 years, experience that served her well in training and mentoring many childcare providers in Colorado, serving on national childcare association boards and developing the Northeast Denver Childcare Network.
But even while caring for those first two children, Grisby "knew there must be something more to it." That curiosity led her back to school where she earned her associate's degree in Early Childhood Education and Management.
"I knew it was more than a custodial job," she said "I wanted to know as much as I could about these little children. I knew the kids were awesome and smart, they just needed guidance and love, so I wanted to give them what I could."
A strong believer in education, Grisby took classes at the University of Colorado at Denver. After her husband died in 2010, she was ready for a new challenge to occupy her mind. Alicia Biggs, a colleague and new instructor at UNC, told Grisby about the CUE. Biggs and CUE Director Irv Moskowitz introduced her to grant and scholarship opportunities available, and helped transfer her credits.
Her bachelor's degree from UNC will be her crowning achievement. "I am being validated. I am learning why I know what I know and I am learning so many new things that will help my training career.
As a childcare trainer, Grisby has focused on guiding childcare providers in social and emotional, nutrition, safety, rules and regulations, and parental involvement. With her degree, she will be able to expand on social, emotional and cognitive development for different age groups.
"If you know why children do certain things, it makes it easier to teach them and care for them," she said."
She plans to continue her career in training after graduation. "I'd really like to continue educating providers who have not had the opportunity of going to school."
When she wasn't taking classes four evenings a week while pursuing her degree, Grisby worked part-time at a private school in Denver and volunteered at her church. She has great-grandchildren in Oklahoma and Denver. She doesn't stop to rest for more than a few hours each night, and even then, her mind keeps going.
"I'm here for a reason," she said. "The children are my reward. When the light goes on in their eyes because they really understand something you're teaching them, that is my reward."

Book Talk: Quest for the story of an enigmatic model and lover
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters) - The dark-eyed, black haired woman with strong features and a blood-red mouth lies naked on a sofa, her sultry -- and somewhat hurt -- gaze locked on the viewer.
She is Rafaela, the subject of several paintings by Art Deco artist Tamara de Lempicka and the narrator of "The Last Nude," a novel by Ellis Avery set mainly in 1920s Paris.
Little is known about Rafaela besides her appearance in the paintings, the fact that she was de Lempicka's lover, and that de Lempicka was working on a copy of her most famous Rafaela painting the day she died, more than half a century later -- which made her compelling to Avery.
Avery, who took a painting class as part of her research, spoke to Reuters about getting inside Rafaela's skin and the book, including an 11th-hour decision to cut 120 pages.
Q: You've said you were inspired by the paintings. How did you develop the story and the characters?
A: "I saw her work at the Royal Academy in London in 2004 and came away weak in the knees -- this is so gorgeous -- and the caption said that the young woman in the painting was the 'Beautiful Rafaela' from 1927, that she had met this girl on a walk in the Bois de Bologne and she became her model, and her lover. Their relationship resulted in six paintings, and it seems to have been a brief relationship. Then when I looked at her catalog, the very last painting she was working on when she died was indeed that copy of 'Beautiful Rafaela.' So 53 years later, this girl was still on her mind, which was thrilling to me.
"I got a book of her paintings and cut them out and spread them on the desk. All the paintings from 1925 to 1929, and looked at them for days. I read biographies of de Lempicka by her daughter, by others. I read a lot about her era. But a lot of the work was just looking at the paintings and at the people that she represented, and just trying to enter that world."
Q: How did you get to the character of Rafaela? Continued...

Still no word on the extent of Tedy Bruschi's injury during the Monday night game, but the fact that he was hurt while covering a punt again raises the question about having starters on special teams. I know the idea is to have the best players on the field, but there are 53 roster spots.

The Ravens started the season 3-8, and now have a realistic chance to finish 4-1. I don't know if the teams' recent success has anything to do with owner Steve Bisciotti bringing Billick back, but I'm guessing it didn't hurt.
"We have an ongoing and extensive process to find ways to win," Bisciotti said in a statement released by the team. "This included a thorough evaluation of Brian Billick. Collectively, we concluded that continuing with Brian as head coach gives us the best opportunity to win."

In today's TMQ, Gregg Easterbrook points out that the Falcons were right to punt during overtime, informs us that David Carr called his own plays during a 24-point half against the Cardinals (and suggests more QBs should be allow to do the same), and says the Texans-49ers game might actually be worth watching. Also, Stat of the Week No. 2, and Sweet Player of the Week No.

King has some thoughts on the Dungy family tragedy, lists the Patriots ahead of Seattle and Denver in the Fine Fifteen, thinks Steve McNair should hang it up, and has a really funny quote from a Cardinals fan during the team's last game in Sun Devil Stadium.

Yes, the Steelers defense seems to be hitting their stride at exactly the right time, but I found this paragraph from the article particularly interesting:
"The Steelers have reasserted themselves as a dominant defense, ranked No. 3 in the NFL overall (281.9 yards per game) and No. 2 against the rush (84.2). As a team, the Steelers have allowed the third-fewest points per game in the NFL at 15.8, but one touchdown came on an interception return and another on a blocked field goal. There also was a kickoff returned to their 3 that became a touchdown two plays later."

Richard Dent says his status as a player from a historically black college makes it harder for him to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "Guys from black schools seem to have a hard time when it comes down to Hall of Fame situations," Dent told The New York Post.
I criticized the Hall of Fame for its failure to induct the black football pioneer Fritz Pollard, who finally got in this year. But I've never seen any evidence that the college a player attended has any impact at all on whether he gets inducted in Canton.

Today, instead of his usual press conference, Bill Belichick took all the reporters into a meeting room and showed archival footage of the Great Lakes Naval Station team of the early 40s, commenting on differences between historical football and today's NFL. Then he showed film from a 1941 game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, featuring a part-time running back and punt returner named Steve Belichick. Raise your hand if you wish you had been a Pats beat reporter today. Yep, me too. This is pretty damn cool.

In the time I've lived in Chicago, I've engaged a lot of football fans in a lot of conversations. And do you know something I've never heard anyone say? "We need a second NFL team." But Mayor Daley wants to build a domed stadium that would attract the Olympics to Chicago in 2016, and he thinks the way to get financing for the stadium is to bring another NFL team to the Windy City. I think this is about as likely as the Cubs moving to Albuquerque and changing their name to the Isotopes.

It's not surprising that Alex Smith is experiencing growing pains. He's a rookie, and he's playing on a 49ers team that's well on its way to earning the top draft pick for the second year in a row. Smith has yet to throw a touchdown, has double-digit interception totals, and there are rumors that his hands are too small to hold onto an official NFL football (he also has nine fumbles). If that's true, maybe San Francisco should petition the league to use Nerf balls during all its games next season.

One of the most interesting off-season storylines will be Miami's search for a quarterback. Will they stay with Gus Frerotte, or get a veteran who can lead an otherwise strong team deep in the playoffs, or find a youngster? We've suggested Brett Favre, but Favre continues to say he would not play for a team other than Green Bay. David Neal of the Miami Herald suggests Steve McNair, he of the $50 million March 2 bonus.

Denver's defense was still great at producing pass pressure, while two NFC East teams really improved over 2015. Also: pressure splits by number of rushers, and how sacks can be overrated. Just ask Brandon Graham (or Erik Walden).

I spotted a house painter on Pelham last week, fine art house painter, Charles Cashwell.
It was about 4pm and it was hot, he was camped out in the shade. Charles said he was struggling to capture the light, the colors and textures in the light.
He was doing far better at it than my camera.
Our portrait model is from 1930, 82 years old. Pelham houses look like this. They aren't big but a bit bigger than average for Morningside. Most were around 2,500 square feet when built.
I've driven past hundreds of time. It wasn't until I stopped and looked over Charles's shoulder that I looked closely.
Charles Cashwell also does human portraits and landscapes.

|After turning our attention from the lockout to the amnesty clause to free agency, it's finally time to look at something on the court. Assuming the Sixers don't make any big moves in the next 3.5 weeks, the starting lineup is set at PG, SF and PF. The center position will probably be a lesser of several evils deal, which leaves us with the two.
|Way back in May, before the owners and union crushed our souls, it was apparent the Sixers biggest decision this offseason would be what to do with Thad Young. Thad is a restricted free agent, he was a big part of the team's improvement/success last season, he was the team's fastball off the bench, their scoring punch, their instant mismatch. He did basically everything that was asked of him and Doug Collins seemed to fall in love. Now it's time to put emotion aside, assess the new reality of the NBA and figure out what this guy is worth
|The amnesty clause is going to be debated back and forth for the next couple of weeks, and possibly longer among every fan base in the league. For the Sixers, you're probably going to hear three names mentioned. Elton Brand, because he hasn't lived up to his contract. Andre Iguodala, because there's a moronic hatred toward the guy. And finally, Andres Nocioni, because he hasn't lived up to his contract and there's a legitimate hatred for the guy. Let's start with the mullet. (Skip to the end for my first meltdown of the 2011-2012 season)
Latest comment: from StanBut Jefferson is larger piece of garbage that will take a longer time to get rid of. ...
|With the Eagles season officially going down in spectacular flames before we even reach December, I suppose it's time to forgive and forget the NBA's most recent unthinkable act. Unless Jeffrey Kessler somehow finds a way to twist some arms and get this thing into a courtroom, where he's been desperate to get it from the jump, the NBA lockout is about to end with the first games to be played on Christmas.
Latest comment: from BrianIt's not going to add cap space if you re-sign Thad. You're going to have to use exceptions either way....
|The NBAPA didn't even need the full time allotted by David Stern's latest ultimatum. In a show of tremendous ... hubris, idiocy, unity? ... the union told the league to take their offer and shove it. They also put the league on notice they'll be disbanding the union and suing the league.
|ESPN has gotten its hands on the proposal the owners have sent to the union as " the endpoint of their negotiations." Check out the PDF here, I'll add my take after the jump.
Latest comment: from johnroszthat would be hilarious, a complete 180 and a change of tune after they realized the NBA was not bluffing...
|The NBA's best offer is on the table. It hasn't improved a whole lot from where it was a week ago, but they've essentially laid all their cards on the table. Take it or leave it by Wednesday, after Wednesday the offers get worse. This bold negotiating tactic has elicited a ton of tough talk from Jeffrey Kesler and Derek Fisher, but does their hot air really matter?

|Heritage Friendly Tourism Campaign
In 2007, with the cooperation and support of the Ministry of Tourism, Heritage Watch put into motion an exciting and dynamic campaign with seven main aims;
Campaign Aims for the Tourism SectorBy supporting and collaborating with other Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the fields of arts, culture, preservation and archaeology, Heritage Watch promoted exciting tourist activities. This encouraged tourists to stay in Cambodia longer as they enjoy and participate in unique tours, arts festivals, arts and crafts expositions, architecture tours, and expert speaker tours. All these activities were promoted through TouchStone magazine a tourism magazine produced by the Heritage Watch team.
Campaign Aims for Government and Non-Governmental Research EntitiesThe campaign aimed to make information and news on research and development in Cambodia easily accessible. It covered projects implemented by APSARA, the EFEO, the University of Sydney, Heritage Watch, Sophia University and other government or non-governmental bodies that help contribute to heritage preservation, conservation and sustainable development. It aimed to highlight all the work these organizations are doing in Cambodia, giving the public a deeper understanding and appreciation of what can be achieved to develop and enrich the country.
Campaign Aims for the Corporate and Private SectorThe campaign highlighted the contributions made by the corporate sector to the community. Multinational companies play a big part in encouraging corporate responsibility and setting the standard for work ethics in Cambodia. Their most valuable contribution is the influence they have in leading others in the private sector to give back to the community. Heritage Watch is grateful to ANZ Royal, Petronas, DHL, Bangkok Airways and Siem Reap Airways for their sponsorship and for leading the way in corporate responsibility.
Campaign Aims for Small BusinessesThe campaign aims to actively promote all the businesses that were certified Heritage Friendly. Certified businesses met criteria that encouraged responsible tourism and developed local economic sustainability. These small businesses were and are integral in promoting local products, arts and culture to an outside market. The campaign aimed to showcase and encourage patronage of Heritage Friendly businesses.
Campaign Aims for Non-Profit Organizations
The campaign aimed to provide exposure to small NGOs and non-profit organizations promoting projects and initiatives undertaken by these NGOs through TouchStone magazine.
Survey Results
In July 2008 Heritage Watch conducted a survey of 241 visitors of varying nationalities to Cambodia. The results were encouraging with 74% of respondents stating that it was important or very important to know that a product or service was being provided by a 'Heritage Friendly Business'. Seventy-three percent of respondents stated that they would be willing to pay a premium for products if they came from a Heritage Friendly Business.

Daniel Craig: I'm too old to play James Bond
Daniel Craig
Some have questioned whether the 44-year-old actor is a bit past it to play the famous character.
He joked to The Sun: "I am", but soon changed his mind: "I will be at 44 and three quarters."
New Bond film Skyfall is Daniel's 3rd and he's signed a deal to appear in two more films - so he won't be hanging up his suit just yet.
Daniel added: "I will keep going as long as I can. I am contracted for two more and that seems like a fair few.
"But I am not going to outstay my welcome. Someone else will have to have the chance to have a crack at this."
Skyfall premieres tonight and has already received rave reviews from critics who consider it the best Bond film yet.
Though Daniel is now considered one of the most successful 007s, some doubted his suitability for the role when he was first cast in the long-running film series.
One such person was director Sam Mendes, who'd worked with Daniel on 2002 film Road To Perdition.But Sam was soon eating his words.
Daniel remembered with a laugh: "He apologised, we moved on."
In fact, they did more than that - thanks to Daniel, Sam ended up as the director of Skyfall.
The actor recalled: "I was at a party and Sam was there. He doesn't drink, so he was sober, but I wasn't.
"I picked his brains about the next movie and we talked about the things we loved about Bond movies. I offered him the job, which wasn't my job to do."
He added: "I would like to work with Sam again but it's not my decision. Most movies take three or four months, but this is six, seven, eight months of shooting, so you need an energy level.
"Sam has an abundance of energy and fortunately there is no bigger Bond fan. That's what I really wanted from a director."
Skyfall is considered the funniest of all the Bond films - no thanks to Mike Myers' Austin Powers spoofs.
Daniel continued: "The first two movies had one story to tell. I always wanted to bring the comedy back in. I love Mike Myers but he screwed it for us on a lot of the gags - he took the best ones.
"I maintained as long as we got good writing, the jokes would come, and they do in this movie, adding a lightness of touch to break tension."
And, ladies, it gets better.

The Power of Citrus
Photograph by Carin Krasner
5 ways oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit help your health.
Oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit aren't just refreshing—they're super-nutritious too. For instance, one medium orange packs more than 100 percent of the recommended daily dose for vitamin C (and some research suggests organic citrus packs up to 17 percent more vitamin C than conventional). And here are more health reasons to have a serving of citrus every day. Eating citrus could…

Very much NOT an area of expertise here on my end.
All constructive comments & life experiences welcome.
Price would be secondary to reliability. I'm not really wanting provide power to the entire neighborhood.
Something to keep the refrigerator running, some lighting, the Internet.
Our heat, range, oven, hot water heater are all natural gas.
Ideally I would love to be able to run it indoors (in my basement) but, (of course) exhaust it to the outdoors.
Best brand names? Any other suggestions. Manufacturers or units that you have had problems with :rant:.
Generators that you own that have been running for many years now.
Gasoline or Kerosene?
Post anything helpful.
THANKS! Much appreciated in advance.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona women's tennis team battled against the University of Montana in Flagstaff and the Griz were able to come away with a tough 4-3 victory to snap the Lumberjacks three-match winning streak.
"Our team came out today and left everything on the court," said head coach Kim Bruno. "What is disappointing is the match points we left on the court and these are not going to win us Big Sky matches."
Play started today with the Lumberjacks dropping a tough doubles point. Doubles started with Montana's Haley Driver and Precious Gbadamosi were able to defeat Northern Arizona's Emelia Box and Hailey Rochin at No. 1 8-3 to give Montana the early 1-0 lead. Jordan Denesik and Tatum Rochin got NAU on the scoreboard by winning their match at the No. 3 position. Denesik and Rochin were able to defeat Ashley Mackey and Maddy Murray 8-3 to tie it up 1-1 in doubles. Montana's Laurence Peichat and Sasha Carter pulled out a win at the No. 2 spot over Johanna Vang and Sarah Maria Spruch 8-6 to give the Griz the 1-0 lead going into singles.
The Lumberjacks first win of the day came from Spruch when she took down Montana's Murray in a 6-1, 6-1 win for Spruch that tied the match at 1-1. The Griz jumped back on top with a win from Mackey at the No. 5 position over Tatum Rochin 6-2, 6-2.
Hailey Rochin earned her fourth straight win in singles play when she was able to handle Peichat. Rochin was able to win a tough 7-5 first set and the freshman cruised in the second set with a 6-1 victory to take the match. The Griz got another win to go up two on the Lumberjacks when Montana's No. 1 Driver defeated Vang 7-5, 6-2.
To tie it all up at 3-3, Box had a stellar win at No. 2 as she took down Gbadamosi in a tough three-set match. Gbadamosi took the first set 6-3 but Box fought her way back into the match as she took the second set 6-4 and took the match into a third set. The native of England was able to come away with 7-6 (6-0) win in the third set for her third straight win in singles.
The final match left was at the No. 3 position between Carter and Denesik. Denesik took the first set 7-6 (1-0) but Carter fought off multiple match points in the second and third set and was able to come away with the win as she defeated Denesik 7-5 in the second and third set to clinch the win for the Griz.
"This one stings," said Bruno. "We have a rivalry with Montana and I think what the girls can learn from this is that we are right there in the Big Sky."
The Lumberjacks will be back in action tomorrow as they face PAC-12 opponent Oregon with play beginning at 10 a.m. in Tempe.

About the Owner
About Mrs Beverley Neville
My other half and myself live in the beautiful Hampshire countryside. We love the Costa Blanca. With so many beautiful beaches and interesting places to visit you are never short of something to do.
Mrs Beverley Neville purchased this villa in 2008
Why Mrs Beverley Neville chose Benissa
The proximity of the villa to the nearby beach of La Fustera, where children of all ages can have a great time. With Alicante airport only an hours drive away we can be on the beach in only a few hours from leaving the UK. You can even take the ferry from Denia - only a short drive away - to a different country.
What makes this villa unique
Peaceful location.
Short walk to the beach and supermarket.

4.8/5 -
(4 traveller reviews)
Looking forward to do it again...12 nights seemed too short to explore. Lovely villa, jacuzzi, swimming pool and parking..
Beautiful House in La Fustera
I have frequented this house three times in the last 18 months. It is spacious, well located, equipped with everything needed for a perfect stay, modern and extremely well maintained. Beautiful area close to local amenties and a short drive to Calpe. Plunge pool and jacuzzi are very inviting along with a luxurious patio area. Front terrace catches the last rays of the day.
Welcome basket upon arrival.
Always worth a return visit.
my partner and i stayed for 2 weeks,had a great time,villa was spotlessly clean,a welcome pack greeted us on our arrival,cup of tea was much needed :) ......the couple who gave us the key when we got there were most informative and very helpful,nothing seemed to much trouble,the supermarket and beach are a 5 min walk away,unlike some that state 5 mins which really means 30 mins,this actually was 5 mins....local bus service at the supermarket,with buses to calpe town and moraira,.....am booking again this year.....cant wait !!
stunning La Fustera
Very nice comfortable house, having been to many properties in the Moraira Area over several years, this is certainly one we'd consider visiting again. The kitchen was fine, we enjoyed cooking the fresh produce bought locally, dining on the sun terrace under the awning, or in the airy 'Nava' with views over the valley and coast. The beds were very comfortable, the downstairs bedroom perhaps best suited for adults or older children. The decking area with dipping pool and jacuzzi was a nice addition Well located on the coast, easy stroll to one of the nicest coves between Calpe and Moraira, offering safe swimming, food and drinks at nearby bars/restaurants. With a laid back international atmosphere, lots of families and locals and a medium long walk along the coast towards Calpe, shaded by pine trees and over looking the sea. For a well developed coast line (without the high rises), this is still a very beautiful part of the Valencia/Alicante coast. Wish we could visit in Spring sometime to explore more of the inland valleys and mountains. Friendly English speaking couple nearby in case of queries and local advice - very helpful.

Activity and Interests
La Fustera beach is 7 minutes walk away. This is a sandy blue flag beach suitable for all the family. In August there is fireworks, music and dancing on the beach (Check with the tourist office for dates).
In Calpe you can climb the famous Calpe Rock for the most breathtaking views. All you need is some good walking shoes/trainers, steady nerves and an adventurous spirit.
Alicante airport is one and a quarter hour drive away. Valencia airport is one and a half hour away. Car hire is essential to really explore the wonderful countryside and visit all the local markets.
The Alsa bus runs daily from Alicante airport to Benidorm, from there you can either take another bus to Calpe which is a 10 minute's drive away or take one of the many taxis serving the area.
Calpe is 10 minutes drive away, whilst in the other direction Moraira is also 10 minutes away. Benidorm is 25 minutes. Javea is 20 minutes. All places mentioned has a market. At Moraira (market day is Friday) there is a funfair in summer where the children can have a good time, leaving you to browse for all those must-have bargains.
Further Details:
Moraira - according to W.H.O. has one of the healthiest climate in the world. It has lots of restaurants - all different nationalities, pavement cafes and Club Natico which is open to the public. Jalon - is a lively town with wine cellars, restaurants and many craft shops. Visit Calpe and climb 'The Rock', watch the fish being unloaded then visit one of the many fish restaurant and enjoy freshly caught fish. Catch the ferry from Denia to Ibiza.
You can a few hours visiting Guadalest.

Heading to Cleveland, OH next week!
I will be out of town again next week for a few days while I visit Cleveland, OH and the Cleveland Aquarium Society. I will be shipping Monday, but only Monday. The meeting will take place at the Cleveland Zoo on Tuesday at 7:30pm. I will be taking pre-orders, though any orders will have to be picked up and paid for off of the premises, either before at a dinner or after during drinks. Please email any orders you would like for me to bring. I can accept cash or credit cards as payment. I will also be able to bring Repashy Superfoods, for any who are interested. The presentation will be on Freshwater Invertebrates: Myths and Misconceptions. I look forward to seeing some of you there!

Have you ever wanted to pack your bags and head off overseas but feel as though your age may be a hindrance; you don't have anyone to go with; or there are just too many obstacles standing in your way? Maggie Counihan didn't let these things stop her: at the age of 60 she bought herself a backpack and headed off to India by herself, but she didn't stop there
...10 years and 40 countries later, she's joined us here today to tell us about some of her experiences as a seasoned female traveller (who's not solo anymore)!

I would like to get the Maxell SSB-1 speakers to give a low-profile audio upgrade to our tv, but the reviews all indicate that there is an automatic sleep timer that is extremely short (only duration listed said "several seconds") and that it has a 5-8 second delay when coming back. Obviously this would be an issue for pausing and even starting videos.
SSB-1 Specs:
Model: SSB-1
·Color: Black
Front Subwoofer
Impedance .........3 Ω Impedance .........6 Ω
Rated Power......10W Rated Power......30W
·Power Requirements: AC120V - 60Hz
·Power Consumption: 6.5W
·Configuration: 2.1 Channel System With 7.5W x 2 + 15W
·Sensitivity: 500mv/47KΩ
·Frequency: 40Hz - 20KHz (+0 / -3dB)
·Input: Two 3.5mm Aux Jacks For MP3 Compatibility
·Item #: 193002
·Item UPC #: 0-25215-19928-8
·Item Pack Size: (LxWxH) 23"x2"x8.5"

·Case Pk./Carton Size: (6) 25.6"x10.35"x12.48"
·Carton Cube/Weight: 1.91/14.5 lbs
So here's the plan: I would like to script/have scripted something that could generate a tone (20-40Hz) anytime that XBMC does not have the screensaver activated that could keep the speakers from sleeping. As well as possibly a system menu entry to enable/disable it and even change the frequency. I've sent Maxell's tech support a message asking about the frequency range that it recognizes and would keep it from sleeping, but I'm assuming that I'll just have to play with it until I get it right.
Although I have a little background in simple C++, I'm not sure where to start with a XBMC add-on so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but what about getting different speakers that don't have this issue? Of course, if you are viewing this as a technical challenge and a fun project to undertake, then by all means continue... I know the feeling.

It's both actually. I can't find anything else of that form factor (sleek, under tv) for that price range and about the level of power that I'm looking for (small room); as well as the challenge since this would hopefully only be a simple script that I could learn a bit on.
I'm just really lost on how to start or even how a typical add-on like this would flow. Actually, I'm also not sure if this is even a video or audio based request since it would only generate audio, but applies to both music and videos.
EDIT: Perhaps I should move this to the development forum though I'm not sure if a [REQUEST] is appropriate there.

Got a response from Maxell on this:
Quote:Thank you for contacting Maxell Technical Support.That certainly is helpful, but it doesn't answer the question of what frequency range does it recognize as an input. Perhaps (and hopefully) what he means is that any frequency would work, and it isn't actually watching for an input range. That could cause some noise to come through, but maybe not.

Hmm, in that case, I'll just have to try my hand at it. I should probably close this thread (well, not truly of course) and start the conversation in either the Service add-on or the Python development add-on. The question is which? Are all add-ons python based?
EDIT: I've created a thread in the Python Add-on Development forum to try to start working on this. So this thread should be considered closed. Thank you for helping/looking.

Ok folks sorry for the later than usual planning this year!
As many of you know each year a group of tri-state Subaru Enthusiasts do a 1000+ mile drive around the entire Tri-state Area of NY/NJ/PA and try to meet up with as many other Subie enthusiasts that we can. This year we are raising money to put toward Breast Cancer Awareness!
