Who should clear away the snow?
Cambridge looks beautiful, and numerous photographers are out capturing their colleges in the snow for the next prospectus (rumour has it that a particularly fetching shot of a snowman at Emma some years ago did more for the college's applications than a lifetime of school visits). You can see the view from the windows of my college room on the right.
It is also treacherous. Hardly any roads have been gritted or salted, and many have become skating rinks. The pavements likewise are uncleared, and you walk on them at your peril -- even two days after the snow fell.
So who is supposed to clear the snow and why don't they?
Answer one: the local council is supposed to do it, but they don't, first of all, because it is uneconomic.
That is to say: the cost of housing all those gritting trucks throughout the year, keeping men on stand-by, and buying the salt and the grit, is simply more that the cost to the local economy of closing down for the few days a year when the snow falls. Sure. But I always wonder if that takes into account the economic cost (let alone the personal) of the several elderly people who will end up for a few months in the local hospital because they broke their hips after coming a real cropper on the ice. Does anyone do the joined up thinking to compute that cost into the equation? I bet not (different budget, eh?).
Then, as one of my mates pointed out to me last night, there is the Thatcherite legacy. Once services were contracted out, the idea was that the Council paid some private company for (eg) the roads to be swept. There was no possibility of transferring those road sweepers to gritting, if that was not what they had been contracted to do. There is now only a small body of council employees who can be deployed as needed -- rather than hired for a specific job.
Compare the 1960s. When I was a kid I remember a man called Dicky Lushcott (how could you forget that name?) who lived near Church Preen in Shropshire. In the summers he was out mending the roads with a Council steam roller. In the winters he was throwing grit and salt on the same roads from the back of a truck. There are no more Dicky Lushcotts.
But back to the pavements. Answer two is that the householder is supposed to clear in front of their own place. Well, if so, the burghers of Cambridge are a bit remiss. And indeed, I confess, we have cleared and salted our long front path and the steps to our basement (I didn't want the postie or the milkie breaking their legs), but have made little inroad into the pavement outside.
I think that we should be made to, as -- I understand -- is the position in the US. But CAN we be made to, and at what cost?
When I went to pick up the bread on this last snowy Saturday, I discovered that the excellent local baker had (uncharacteristically) not done a thing about clearing the snow off his forecourt. He explained that he believed that if someone had an accident on the snow AFTER he had cleared it, he would be liable. If he had done nothing, he wouldn't. I later discovered that this line had been put out by Sky News (and no doubt others)
True or not? Probably not. A legal friend suggested to me that if you had acted to mitigate the danger, you would not be liable if someone still slipped (though if you had piled the snow up in a stupid place thereby ADDING to the danger, that would be different).
So what do we need? A flexible local authority workforce which can be redeployed if necessary. A sense that a few grannies with broken hips is not a price worth paying for a snowfall. A clear instruction to us all to look after our own pavements, without fear of the long arm of the law.

So, the book says I should be averaging about 54mpg, with a best of around 65mpg. Since I consider myself an economical driver I figured this must be easily achievable, but so far I've only managed 41 -45mpg. The worst figure was on a 65mph cruise to Southampton and back where I would have expected much better than that! Light throttle, gentle acceleration, correct tyre pressures and light loading should allow me to hit the official figures surely?
Looking through the forums on the interweb it does seem that this is an issue for others too. Mine is an early 2010 model, 1.25 petrol bought with just 3000 miles on the clock. Anybody else suffer this way or have any ideas why?
|I would agree with Fred that in the real world the manufacturer's quoted mpg figures are rarely if ever achieved. At 3000 miles the best I have achieved in my 1.25 is 48mpg, and that was on a fairly gentle 200 mile cross-country drive at no more than 65mph. I generally average around 42mpg on a tankfull of liquid gold with a mixture of short runs around town and longer trips. My method is to zero the trip meter after filling-up until the pump cut-off and working out mpg after the next fill-up to a full tank. An average over several tank fulls should give you a realistic figure,

Looking for a large house close to downtown? This is the place for you! This house has been recently updated and doesn't have that 'old house' feeling to it. It's in the eclectic 9th & 9th district of Salt Lake City, just over a mile from the center of downtown Salt Lake City & the convention center. Close to the city's center, yet just down the street from beautiful Emigration Canyon and the ski resorts.
The house is filled with antiques and items that we've collected in our travels around the world, NOT the same old particle-board stuff that you see in most of the other rentals. Before you book your stay somewhere else, really take a look at the pictures of their white walls and their plywood furniture and ask yourself if that would be more comfortable. Not to mention the location!
There is a deluxe reclining massage chair in the living room that feels great after a day of skiing. Or you can soak in the large, private hot tub in the back yard. We have a gym-quality elliptical machine in the entertainment room so that you can work out while watching the 50' large-screen plasma TV. There is also a large collection of books in the house to read. The dining room has a large table and can seat up to 10 people. Central air conditioning. Parking available for small boats and RVs. There is a 24-hour supermarket within 2 blocks of the house and the kitchen is fully equipped with all of the appliances & utensils that you'll need during your stay.
Pack n Play and High Chairs upon request.
MASTER BEDROOM: Queen-size bed (sleeps 2)
BEDROOM #2: Queen-size bed (sleeps 2)
BEDROOM #3: Queen-size bed (sleeps 2)
BEDROOM #4: Full-size bed & twin-size bunk bed (sleeps 4)
FAMILY ROOM: Queen-sized pullout couch (sleeps 2)
Self-inflating twin bed upon request (sleeps 1)
Convention Center: 8 minutes
Salt Lake Temple: 8 minutes
SLC Ski Resorts: 30-35 minutes

I am not a big rental agency that will treat you like a number. I own a few extra homes that I rent out & I'll treat you like my guests. I take so much more pride in my guests' satisfaction than any large rental agency does. If ANYTHING is not perfect with your stay, call me and I will make it right!
Cami purchased this house in 1996
This was our home for many years before we moved about a mile away. We kept most of the unique furniture and items in the house when we left, so we hope that you'll feel at home during your stay. We originally bought it because of its proximity to the mountains, downtown Salt Lake City, the major ski resorts, public transportation, and Hogle Zoo.
This house is in the 9th & 9th District, which is our 'gaslight' district. It's a small neighborhood full of curio shops, unique restaurants, yoga studios, etc.
Very pleased with this home. It was even nicer in real life than in the pics, which is a pleasant surprise. There is a grocery store right down the street and lots or restaurants within walking distance. Very nice entertainment room. Super clean.
We were very pleased with this vacation home. Extremely comfortable and well-decorated. It was in a great location and the neighborhood was friendly and safe. Lots of room to spread out. Loved the back patio and the hot tub.
Very quaint home. Two bedrooms upstairs as one bathroom also. Kitchen had plenty of supplies to cook, prep, create breakfast, lunch and dinner. I traveled with my own knives and cutting boards (I'm glad I did). We sat down for a lovely dinner after a backyard jaccuzi, with twelve folks (two children) - main reason to rent home. The backyard "amazing". Fruit for breakfast, lunch and dinner picked fresh daily! Sangria was tastey, all I needed was oranges from farmers market. If you drive a truck, no way you can open doors all the way, be very careful on driveway and pathway loose gravel + bushes and shrubs that don't tolerate humans. Overall an oasis waiting to welcome folks.
My group came to SLC for the Young Living Essential Oil Conference, we had 9 ladies and this place could not have been more perfect for our needs. We actually wished we had more time to spend at the house, as we were on the go most of our time there. The beds were comfortable, ceiling fans in the upstairs rooms were great, kitchen fully stocked with the staples (and by staples, everything you could need), plenty of linens and such. With an up and downstairs living room, we had plenty of room to spread out. They had books and movies (though we didn't have time for either) which was a nice touch. Two great bathrooms (the downstairs one was beautifully remodeled and HUGE for plenty of women to get ready in the morning). The deck and back yard was so gorgeous with fruit trees everywhere and enough foliage that it felt very secluded and the hot tub was clean and felt amazing after a long day at our convention. The location could not have been more perfect and the owners have left a list of walkable restaurants and such (we wished we could have tried more!) We went to Trio and Pago and both were heavenly and within about a 4 block walk. There is indeed a Smith's grocery store within 2 blocks and we had no problem catching an affordable UBER to ride downtown to the convention center. It was incredibly clean and they have thought of everything a traveler could need. They are strict on the noise and have a 10pm curfew on the hot tub, so if you are looking to party all night, this is not the right place for you. Otherwise I would recommend it to everyone, and hope to be back next year!
My two adult sons, older mother and I stayed at this quaint and comfortable home for four nights for my niece's wedding. The wedding was in Ogden but there's not much there so we decided to stay in SLC where the is more of a selection of accommodations and activities to do. The location of the home is really convenient. It's very easy to get around town with the help of my phone navigation system. SLC is a lovely town. It's really beautiful all around with the mountains and if you go up on the hills and watch the sunset it is gorgeous.
There are so many plusses to the home. It is so roomie. The kitchen has plenty of room for many people at a time to be in there and has everything you need. I like having a kitchen and cooking so we don't have to go out every meal, especially breakfast. I love my coffee first thing in the morning when I'm in my jammies all comfy and warm still sleepy. Leftovers from the night before in the fridge waiting for warm up and set!!!!
The night we got there, 7pm ish. we just drove a short drive from the airport to the house and the door was programmed in with a code to get in and we settled in a bit and walked down to the grocery store and picked up food for our meals in. That night a wonderful pre-made spinach salad with pecans, blueberries, apricots, feta, green onions with a greek vinaigrette dressing. Delish!!! We BBQ'd shish ka bobs and fillet mignon wrapped in bacon. Delish again!!! Then steamed yellow squash. Triple delish!!!
My oldest son couldn't get enough of the 24 hour masseuse on call. Lane was fantastic. His big burly physique in those black leathers really is deceiving. Lane has the touch. I was in heaven and Lane had my achy back feeling soothed are relieved especially after being in the spa. We were only able to make it into the spa one night for there was the 10pm cut-off time for use of it.
It was fairly hot in SLC during our visit, 90's. The ac in the home worked fantastically. A definitely plus. For an older home it has been maintained wonderfully and I can appreciate that. Some people might not but it is a lovely old home with I'm sure many fond memories throughout the years and now I have a wonderful memory there with my family. We had a really good time there and I am so glad that we were able to stay in Dennis' home. Thank you so much.
My family was very happy with this home. There was a lot of attention to detail put into and there honestly wasn't a single flaw. Plenty of parking. Loved the yard and the shops and restaurants in the 9th & 9th district were fantastic. I would recommend this house to anyone.
Located within easy walking distance of small shops & restaurants.

Low: openstack-keystone security and bug fix update
|Security Advisory
|Issued on:
|Last updated on:
|Affected Products:
|Red Hat OpenStack Folsom
|CVEs (cve.mitre.org):
Updated openstack-keystone packages that fix one security issue and various
bugs are now available for Red Hat OpenStack Folsom.
The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in
the References section.
The openstack-keystone packages provide Keystone, a Python implementation
of the OpenStack identity service API, which provides Identity, Token,
Catalog, and Policy services.
These updated packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2012.2.4,
which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#950132)
This update also fixes the following security issue:
In environments using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), if
debug-level logging was enabled (for example, by enabling it in
"/etc/keystone/keystone.conf"), the LDAP server password was logged in
plain text to a world-readable log file. Debug-level logging is not enabled
by default. (CVE-2013-2006)
Additionally, this update also fixes the following bugs:
* If the Keystone service incurred an HTTP error as a result of a transient
network error, authentication tokens were listed as invalid. With this
update, the Keystone service will now retry requests a few times before
failing, which masks transient network errors. (BZ#919526)
* The "/var/log/keystone/" directory was world-readable. With this update,
world-read permissions have been removed. (BZ#956474)
All users of openstack-keystone are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which correct these issues. After installing the updated
packages, the Keystone service (openstack-keystone) will be restarted
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

nv4500 or 4l80e?
so i blew up my 60e today. been working on putting gears in my buddys jeep all day and finishing up my exhaust. finally finished my exhaust up by about 9:00, ready to head out to wendys for some dinner and i gave it a little juice, the trans flashed up and ever since all the drive gears are just like neutral pushed it to a nearby parking lot and my bro towed me home. today has been the longest day ever, did gears in the jeep, finished my exhaust system up, blew up my trans, and somehow made it out a to a party, im ready to go to bed.
so heres the deal, the truck isn't going to be a daily driver forever, do i really need the practicality of an automatic? an nv4500 will last forever, better mpgs, more power to the rear wheels. what would you guys do if you were in my position. putting another 4l60e is simply not an option. every one of my freinds tell me im a fool to want a stick... what do you all think?
some information on the truck, its a 95 half ton truck, transmission is the last week link, got a built small block with a blower, 14 bolt rear end, 4.56/detroit 35" tires, i do a little off roading with it and i run it at the drag strip every now and then as well, but it is still my daily driver. my future plans are to retire this truck of its daily driver duty's and possibly do a solid front axle swap, but for now, its my daily and it will be for quite some time.

Canadian home sales rise again in July: CREA
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in July to their highest level since March 2010, notching their sixth straight monthly increase after a slow winter, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) said on Friday.
CREA, the industry group for real estate agents, said sales were up 0.8 percent last month from June, surpassing June's downwardly revised 0.6 percent increase. Actual sales for July, not seasonally adjusted, were up 7.2 percent from July 2013.
Canada's housing market has roared back to life after an especially brutal winter that hurt home-building, sales and prices. The bounce-back has been bolstered by low mortgage rates, which are not expected to rise significantly until 2015.
"The (recent decline in mortgage rates) will prove to be the more important determinant over the rest of the year," Mazen Issa, senior Canada macro strategist at TD Securities, said in a research note.
"While we do expect that higher rates will curtail housing market activity, the magnitude remains small," he added.
"The true catalyst will be the next stage of the policy normalization process by the Bank of Canada, which we do not expect will happen until the second half of 2015," Issa said.
CREA's home price index rose 5.3 percent from July 2013, little changed from June's 5.4 percent gain. The national average price for homes sold in July, not seasonally adjusted, was C$401,585 (approximately $368,000), up 5 percent from the same month last year.
"Low mortgage interest rates continue to bolster home sales activity," Gregory Klump, CREA's chief economist, said in a statement. Continued...

When I first heard about a cookbook that promised an easy method for making homemade bread every morning, I was skeptical. As much as I love hot, fresh whole-grain bread, I didn't think there was anything easy about bread-baking. But, that was before I tried it ...
Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, by Jeff Hertzberg, M.D., and Zoe Francois, is a cookbook that just might change your life. Their no-knead method totally surprised me! You just dump the ingredients into a big bowl/container, and let it sit for two hours. Then, you just shape and bake the bread. Refrigerate the rest and simply pull off a bit of dough when you want to make bread in the next few weeks.
Brilliant? I say yes!
I sometimes read cookbooks like novels, and this book (which I read over the holiday weekend) is filled with good ideas about healthy bread baking. I'm officially hooked. Apple barley bread? Yes please!
Enjoy! (P.S. Check out their Web site for yummy bread recipes and ideas.)

Jovan's mother was present in the house when the fight happened and heard it happen and the nine gunshots before he fled the house. The couple had been in therapy and receiving financial and couples counseling.

Well now everyone, that was just waaaaaay to much fun! Can you believe that I had John Schneider and Roma Downey in my house? Try to imagine, John Schneider serenading me on my very own guitar today in my very own house?! Is that just CRAZY or what?! But, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I should set the stage for you, help you understand the context of this little interlude. Here it goes.....
The Hallmark movie of the month that was being filmed at my place is about a woman who dies just before her daughter is about to get married. John Schneider is the girl's long absent father, who returns to town for the funeral and the wedding. He wants to try build a relationship with his daughter after all that lost time. He comes riding into town in his pickup and camper, which I forgot to take a picture of. Sorry about that. Instead, I've got a picture of the front of my house which was, according to the sign, the house of Roma Downey (Laura), town lawyer and sister to the deceased.
Would you just LOOK at all the people outside in my front yard?! The film is supposed to be set in the summer so they were dressing things up to look flowery but I find all the winter parka's and the toques (do you say toque in America? Up here in Canada, we all know what that means.....a knitted cap......a toque) make this summer season look just a little frigid!
I bet you're thinking that I took these photos. Maybe you're even thinking "Wow, that girl sure knows how to take a paparazzi shot!". Actually, Plumber Boy is a BIG fan of John Schneider and he came over to take some photos for me. Plumber Boy, all us ladies would like to thank you for taking this picture for us. You've got a very nice telephoto lens :)
Do you see how beautiful the weather got today? We ended up having the only sunny day in the last couple of weeks and that just made the house look wonderful on film. The sun was just bursting in through the windows. But we shouldn't dally outside because John and Roma are having coffee.......lets go inside and check it out.
Once the scene has been rehearsed, all the crew piles back into my kitchen to discuss the logistics of the shot. I wish I could tell you what all these people did but I just don't remember. But, I promise you, as soon as the director said "CUT!" everyone was moving around, doing something before they could film the next scene.
But I stood right behind the director, to make sure that there wasn't too much smoke in the shot and it looked just wonderful. Good thing I was there to keep things on track! Next time I burn the bacon I'm gonna tell everyone that I'm just trying to set the moooooood :)

Timeshare resale fraud is the #1 complaint according to the Florida Attorney Generals office. The state of Florida's House of Representatives voted unanimously to passed a bill that cracks down on timeshare resale fraud. What is timeshare resale fraud? It's when a timeshare resale marketing or advertising company charges an upfront fee to list your timeshare for sale. Some of these companies actually tell timeshare owners they have a buyer waiting, but the seller must deposit funds in escrow to initiate the transaction. Watch the video from Tampa Bay, Florida WFLA News Channel 8 to hear a story from Elaine McLaughlin about her experience with International Timeshare Network:
So what should you do if you want to sell your timeshare? We understand that sometimes things change and you just don't need your timeshare anymore.
If you have been the victim of a timeshare scam, you should report it to your attorney general, the attorney general of the state your timeshare is located and contact the Licensed Timeshare Resale Broker Association at www.LTRBA.com
Do you have suggestions or questions about how to sell your timeshare?

text: by Kent Harrington Feb 18, 2011 Comments (4) AIChE Topics: General Interest Share This Post: Who says mathematics can't be beautiful? (Well, probably very few engineers, but anyway...) Tom Beddard, a web developer and designer with a PhD in laser physics, has combined his math and science expertise with his visual abilities in a new Web-based program that creates gorgeous 3D fractal worlds. Take a look at the sample video in the panel to the right. Speaking about his work in a recent interview in Fast Company's Co.Design Beddard says: "I'm interested in how equations and formulas can be used to create interesting, unpredictable imagery," says Beddard. Fractals are the quintessential example of this kind of generative art, but exploring their contours can be difficult on a desktop computer because of all the heavy math required to render them visually. "Traditionally with fractal generation, you have to wait seconds or minutes for the image to appear," Beddard says. But the program he wrote to create the video above runs in nearly real-time--which means that Beddard can simply plug in an equation and start playing with its visual properties as easily as fiddling with a Rubik's Cube. According to the same article, Beddard is completing an open-source Web application called ShaderLab, which is supposed to be out in a few weeks. The application will allow anyone to create 3D fractal forms using their browser, so keep an eye out for this incredible tool. See more of Tom Beddard's creations in his online gallery. For anyone who missed it, Beno?t Mandelbrot, the mathematician who developed fractal geometry and applied it to various fields, passed away in late 2010. Read more about his fascinating career here. What other areas of math or science are directly responsible for such artistic creations? Log in to post comments Comments Roxy Schneider (not verified) Feb 24, 2011 Princeton University has a really cool exhibit that they run annually in their engineering center called "The Art of Science".

Students from Western Carolina University's Nutrition and Dietetics Program have been working with faculty and staff at Cullowhee Valley School to educate elementary students on the connection between local food and healthy eating.
Olivia Jacobs, a senior in the Nutrition and Dietetics Program at WCU and an intern at Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, coordinates the effort with Anna Littman, a program coordinator at ASAP.
Four classes at CVS maintain a garden in a plot of land adjacent to the school. From beets to Swiss chard, CVS students help plant, water and harvest a variety of produce throughout the year. In addition to the food education, teachers can use the farm-to-school initiative and the garden to teach any subject, said Littman. Teachers at CVS have used the garden as a tool to educate in a variety of ways. A rain gauge helps students learn about science and math while they observe and record the data each day. Other classes have gone into the garden to learn language arts and to write poetry.
Students also get to enjoy the food that they are learning about. On Wednesdays, Jacobs teams up with Nicole Austin, a WCU nutrition and dietetics graduate student, to provide the students with a taste test of locally available foods. "The kids really enjoy trying new foods. They don't always like them, but they are still excited about trying them," said Austin. A surprising favorite among the kids was raw cabbage from a local farm; the apple coleslaw, however, was not as well received, Austin said. Jacobs, Littman, and Austin all help plan the taste tests and decide on recipes each week.
Littman and Jacobs also teach a lesson on Fridays to three classes (kindergarten through second grade) and then use local vegetables, occasionally harvested from the students' own garden, to cook in the classrooms. During a recent lesson on harvesting, Littman and Jacobs helped the students harvest Swiss chard from their garden, cut fresh sweet peppers and local tomatoes from Shelton Family Farms in Whittier and put them into quesadillas.
"The most rewarding part about this is that the children remember what they have learned and they are still excited about it," says Jacobs, who in addition to being an intern for ASAP is a student- athlete and takes a full course load at WCU.
In order to gain a few extra hands, Jacobs organizes two to three volunteers, usually from the WCU Nutrition and Dietetics Program, to help each day.
"The farm-to-school program is a great tool to teach kids about the connection between healthy eating and local food," said April Tallant, assistant professor in the Nutrition and Dietetics program at WCU. "Our diets are shaped around exposure, and by exposing the children to healthy, local foods early on, they are more likely to adopt healthy diet preferences in the future." In addition, the program helps WCU nutrition students gain a civic-minded perspective, said Tallant.
Both Tallant and Littman agree that local food in the classroom not only educates students, but it also gives local farmers a new source of income, especially in rural areas where they may have limited access to markets.
The farm-to-school program is sponsored by ASAP, who received a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to fund the program.
For more information about ASAP and the Farm-to-School program, or to volunteer to help, contact Littman by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. To find out more about the Nutrition and Dietetics Program at WCU, contact Wayne Billon, program director, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by telephone at 828-227-3528.

Convicted killer arrested Greer home invasion and shootout
Noelle Kachinsky with credit to "Herald Journal"
Published: August 20, 2009
A man is behind bars Thursday morning after being charged in a home invasion and shooting.
According to our sister-station WSPA's coverage partners at the Herald Journal the suspect is a convicted killer. Authorities in Greer said 37-year-old Ronnie Cleveland Swofford followed a man into his home on Memorial Drive Extension on July 27th and shot him.
The victim returned fire on Swofford. He faces multiple charges including assault and battery with intent to kill and burglary.
Swofford's arrest comes almost 16 years after he was arrested in the 1993 murder of Bobby Owens in Spartanburg County.
He pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter three days into the trial and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Despite the subtitle, this blog is not just for men
This evening a new Facebook follower posted on my wall, "is this site for men only??? does it count if I think like a guy??? or that I love Star Wars????".
It's not the first time. The subtitle of this blog, of course, is "STAR WARS for men old enough to know better". That certainly makes it sound like a men-only sort of place. Similarly, in my book, the focus is very much on the boys and men I have shared Star Wars with for the last 35 years (although my sister is important to the story, too).
The truth is that I see Star Wars as largely a boy's interest. But the Star Wars I'm talking about is the old-school Star Wars of the late '70s and early '80s. I don't know much about today's Star Wars and I don't care to. My interest lies almost exclusively in the Star Wars of my youth, and for me that was a very male experience. Most of this blog's followers are men, and I don't think that's a coincidence. One of the ideas behind my book and this blog is that Star Wars was a profoundly important phenomenon for my generation of men. They are who I am chiefly speaking to.
But the answer to my newest Facebook follower is an emphatic No: this site is not for men only. There are women out there whose childhoods were shaped by Star Wars as much as was mine. I know it and I welcome it. I confess you're not my "target market", but I certainly don't mean to exclude you, or anyone. On the contrary, welcome aboard!

PS: My wife says "For women old enough to know better" is not a good subtitle. Smart enough, perhaps?
I've improved the blog's name now. See here.

The Explorer also earns a place in the automotive rogue's gallery by virtue of its troubling accident history. Early models came standard with Firestone tires that had a habit of blowing out at highway speed. This, combined with the Explorer's tall profile and crude suspension (not to mention the driving skills of many buyers) led to a long series of rollover crashes, many of them fatal. It also gave the Explorer a new nickname: The Exploder.
The Pinto could make a worst cars list purely on its mediocre styling, but its real claim to vehicular infamy is a design error - a fuel filler neck that snapped off in rear-end collisions, turning the Pinto into a flaming deathtrap. The problem defined the Pinto, which became the butt of countless jokes. In a routine about his ghetto childhood, comedian Eddie Murphy told audiences that his family used to rear-end Pintos instead of buying fireworks.
The Pinto turned into a public relations disaster for Ford when it was learned that the company had discovered the fuel tank problem during pre-production testing, but decided that a proposed fix (about $50 per car) was too expensive. Although the gas tank problem was rectified in later models, the car's reputation gradually strangled its sales and killed its resale value.
The Pinto was produced in a few different models, including the Pinto Squire, which featured simulated wood panel on the doors and fenders.
Pontiac Aztek
The Aztek was born during a Detroit period defined by rising SUV sales and stylistic drift, as venerable brands like Pontiac struggled to maintain their identity amidst a confusing list of GM divisions as well as a flood of imports. Criticized for bland, derivative styling. Pontiac designers took a bold but ill-advised step with the Aztek, which looked a bit like a Transformer figure based on a Dust Buster vacuum cleaner. The Aztek was sold for only five years, and was available at deep discounts, because few people would buy them. In 2007, Time magazine declared the Aztek one of the worst cars of all time. In 2008, a British newspaper declared it Number One in a list of the 100 ugliest cars ever produced. Mechanically, the Aztek was mediocre, with underpinnings borrowed from other GM models. Styling-wise, the Aztek was a schizophrenic: the bizarre exterior gave way to an interior of exceptional dullness, as if the designers had finally chickened out.
Subaru SVX
The SVX marked a rare misstep by Subaru, a car company known for solid engineering and decent (if uninspired) design. The SVX stands as a monument to misguided styling, with odd panel breaks and complex windows that defined the car - and killed it in the showroom. The windows were a two-part design, with fixed outer sections that had sliding panes set within them. They might have made sense to the stylist who came up with them, but to everyone else, the windows seemed ridiculous. Like the fashion of wearing clothes backwards during the mercifully brief reign of the hip hop duo Kris Kross, the SVX's radical window design died a quick death: The car was taken off the market in 1995, just four years after it was introduced.
In the same way that a ghetto childhood can help a boxer become heavyweight champion of the world, the Trabant's East German background gives it a clear advantage in its bid for the Worst Car of All Time title. The now-fallen communist state provided ideal conditions for the creation of a truly awful vehicle: a demoralized labour force, incompetently-run factories, and a iron-fisted political system that crushed innovation. Trabants were powered by smoke-belching two-stroke engines, and the bodies were constructed of compressed cardboard coated with plastic resin. Reliability was terrible, and the gearshift mechanism is generally agreed upon as one of the worst ever invented. None of these problems quenched demand. In East Germany, the Trabant was the only car available, and the waiting list was typically ten years long. The Trabant went out of production in 1990. The fall of the Berlin Wall removed the Trabant's key feature - a monopoly position.
