Sex differences in education are a type of sex discrimination in the education system affecting both men and women during and after their educational experiences.[1]
At all levels women are achieving higher representation and success. At the post-secondary level in some countries women are earning most of the degrees awarded.
Worldwide, men are more likely to be literate, with 100 men considered literate for every 88 women. In some countries the difference is even greater; for example, in Bangladesh only 62 women are literate for every 100 men.[2]
In an OECD study of 43 developed countries, 15-year-old girls were ahead of boys in literacy skills and were more confident than boys about getting high-income jobs.[4]. In the United States, girls are significantly ahead of boys in writing ability at all levels of primary and secondary education.[3] However, boys are slightly ahead of girls in mathematics ability.[4]
Female majority[edit]
In the United States, the 2005 averages saw male to female university participants at a 43 to 57 ratio.[5] Also, in 2005-2006, women earned more Associate's, Bachelor's, and Master's degrees than men and earned 48.9% of Doctorate and 49.8% of first professional degrees.[6] This is repeated in other countries; for example, women make up 58% of admissions in the UK[7] and 60% in Iran[5]. In Canada the 15% gender gap in university participation favored women.[8]
Forms of sex discrimination in education[edit]
Sex discrimination in education is applied to women in several ways. First, many sociologists of education view the educational system as an institution of social and cultural reproduction[need quotation to verify]. The existing patterns of inequality, especially for gender inequality, are reproduced within schools through formal and informal processes.[1]
Another way the educational system discriminates towards females is through course-taking, especially in high school. This is important because course-taking represents a large gender gap in what courses males and females take, which leads to different educational and occupational paths between males and females. For example, females tend to take fewer advanced mathematical and scientific courses, thus leading them to be ill-equipped to pursue these careers in higher education. This can further be seen in technology and computer courses.[1]
Also, cultural norms may also be a factor causing sex discrimination in education. For example, society suggests that women should be mothers and be responsible for the bulk of child rearing. Therefore, women feel compelled to pursue educational pathways that lead to occupations that allow for long leaves of absence, so they can be stay at home mothers.[1]
A hidden curriculum may further add to discrimination in the educational system. The concept of the hidden curriculum refers to the idea that teachers interact with and teach each of their students in a way that reinforces relations of gender, as well as race and social class.[9] For example, teachers may give more attention to boys, thus encouraging them to speak up in class and become more social. Conversely, girls may become quieter and learn that they should be passive and defer to their male classmates.[1] Students may also be socialized for their expected adult roles through the correspondence principle laid out by sociologists including Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis. Girls may be encouraged to learn skills valued in female-dominated fields, while boys might learn leadership skills for male-dominated occupations. For example, as they move into the secondary and post-secondary phases of their education, boys tend to gravitate more toward STEM courses than their female classmates.[10]
Consequences of sex discrimination in education[edit]
Discrimination results in a substantial gender gap in pay towards women (.75 cents for every dollar that men in America when averaged across the population as a whole), for the most part, being in low status, sex-stereotyped occupations, which in part is due to gender differences in majors.[11] They also have to endure the main responsibilities of domestic tasks, even though their labor force participation has increased. Sex discrimination in high school and college course-taking also results in women not being prepared or qualified to pursue more prestigious, high paying occupations. Sex discrimination in education also results in women being more passive, quiet, and less assertive, due to the effects of the hidden curriculum.[1]
However, in 2005, USA Today reported that the "college gender gap" was widening; stating that fifty-seven percent of U.S. college students are female.[12] By 2010 nearly 60 per cent of bachelor's degrees in the US went to women.[13]
Since the 1990s, enrollment on university campuses across Canada has risen significantly. Most notable is the soaring rates of female participants, which has surpassed the enrollment and participation rates of their male counterparts (Christofides et al., 2006). Even in the United States, there is a significant difference in the male to female ratio in campuses across the country, where the 2005 averages saw male to female university participants at 43 to 57 (Marklein, 2005). Although it is important to note that the rates of both sexes participating in post-secondary studies is increasing, it is equally important to question why female rates are increasing more rapidly than male participation rates. Christofides, Hoy, and Yang (2006) attempt to explain the 15% male to female gap in Canadian universities with the idea of the University Premium.[14] Drolet (2007) further explains this phenomena in his article, "Minding the Gender Gap": "A university degree has a greater payback for women relative to what they could have earned if they only had a high-school diploma because men traditionally have had more options for jobs that pay well even without post-secondary education."[15]
Gender gap in literacy[edit]
Critics of the gender gap in education often focus on the advantage males have over females in science and math, but fail to recognize the falling behind of males to females in literacy. In fact, the latest national test scores, collected by the NAEP assessment, show that girls have met or exceeded the reading performance of boys at all age levels. The literacy gap in fourth grade is equivalent to males being developmentally two years behind the average girl in reading and writing. At the middle school level, statistics from the Educational Testing Service show that the gap between eight-grade males and females is more than six times greater than the differences in mathematical reasoning, mathematical reasoning favoring males. These findings have spanned across the globe as the International Association for Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) found gender to be the most powerful predictor of performance in a study of 14 countries.[16]
Studies have attributed these disparities to several main factors. First of these is an innate difference in the brain function of males and females. Females have the advantage in their left hemisphere with speaking, reading and writing. Their right hemisphere allows females to feel empathy and to better understand and reflect on their feelings and the feelings of others. Both hemispheres are actively contributing to necessary literacy practices. On the other hand, boys use their left hemisphere to recall facts and rules and to categorize, while their right-hemisphere is used with visual-spatial and visual-motor skills, which enables them to excel in topics like geography, science, and math. Additionally hindering literacy instruction for males is an unwritten "Boy Code" society has placed on males keeping them from feeling and/or expressing their emotions. Males are therefore less likely to share opinions about literature and less likely to express to a teacher when having difficulty, feeling frustrated or just plain not understanding the material. Instead, males fidget, get distracted, receive reprimands and often quit all together.[17]
Booth, Johns, and Bruce (2004) draw attention to the facts that at both national and international levels "male students do not do as well as girls in reading and writing and appear more often in special education classes, dropout rates and are less likely to go to university".[18][19] Boys face a multitude of difficulties when it comes to literacy and the article lists some of the possible areas of literacy education where these difficulties could stem from. These include, but are not limited to, their own gender identity, social and cultural issues, religion, technology, school cultures, teaching styles, curriculum, and the failures of pre-service and in-service teaching courses.[20]
It is also important to consider two aspects of boys and literacy education as raised in the Booth article that draws from the work of Smith and Wilhelm (2002). The first is achievement. Boys typically take longer to learn than girls do, although they excel over females when it comes to "information retrieval and work-related literacy tasks".[21] It is important, therefore, for the teacher to provide the appropriate activities to highlight boys' strengths in literacy and properly support their weaknesses. Also, boys tend to read less than girls in their free time. This could play a role in the fact that girls typically "comprehend narrative and expository texts better than boys do".[21] In his book Grown Up Digital, Tapscott (2009) suggests that there are other methods to consider in order to reach boys when it comes to literacy: "Boys tend to be able to read visual images better... study from California State University (Hayword) saw test scores increase by 11 to 16% when teaching methods were changed to incorporate more images".[22] Smith and Wilhelm (2002) highlight that boys typically have a "lower estimation of their reading abilities" than girls do.[21]
Possible solutions and implementation[edit]
One attempted change made to literacy instruction has been the offering of choice in classroom gender populations. In Hamilton, Ontario, Cecil B. Stirling Elementary/Junior School offered students in grades 7 and 8, and their parents, a choice between enrolling in a boys-only, girls-only or co-ed literacy course. Single-gender classes were most popular, and although no specific studies have shown a statistical advantage to single-gender literacy classes, the overall reaction by boys was positive: "I like that there's no girls and you can't be distracted. [. . .] You get better marks and you can concentrate more."[23]
With boys-only classrooms not always being possible, it then becomes the responsibility of the literacy instructor to broaden the definition of literacy from fiction-rich literacy programs to expose students to a variety of texts including factual and nonfiction texts (magazines, informational texts, etc.) that boys are already often reading; provide interest and choice in literacy instruction; expand literacy teaching styles to more hands-on, interactive and problem-solving learning, appealing to a boy's strengths; and to provide a supportive classroom environment, sensitive to the individual learning pace of each boy and providing of a sense of competence.[16]
Other everyday practices that attempt to "close the gender gap" of literacy in the classroom can include the following:
- Tapping into visual-spatial strengths of boys. (Filmstrips/Comics)
- Using hands-on materials. (Websites, handouts)
- Incorporating technology. (Computer Learning Games, Cyberhunts)
- Allowing time for movement. (Reader's Theaters and plays, "Active" Mnemonics)
- Allowing opportunities for competition. (Spelling Bees, Jeopardy, Hangman)
- Choosing books that appeal to boys. ("Boy's Rack" in Classroom Library)
- Providing male role models. (High-school Boys Tutoring Younger Boys in Reading, Reading/Speaking Guests)
- Boys-only reading programs. (Boys-only Book Club)[17]
The gender gap and homeschooled children[edit]
Schools are not philosophical, social or cultural vacuums. The social structure of many schools do not produce adequate results for many boys. Many parents who home school their children observe that there is a smaller gender divide in academic test results. One study by the HSLDA revealed homeschooled boys (87th percentile) and girls (88th percentile) scored equally well. Racial disparity and disparity based on socioeconomic background is also less pronounced. A major factor in student achievement is whether a parent had attained a tertiary education.[24]

DECC consults on reviewing the tariff for biomethane injection to grid under the RHI
The technology involves producing biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD) of crops, waste, slurries or sewage feedstock. The biogas is then 'upgraded' to remove the carbon dioxide and other impurities (known as 'scrubbing') and propane is added to ensure the calorific value closely matches that of natural gas. The resulting gas is then odorised and compressed and injected into the gas grid — a way of partly decarbonising the gas grid with the advantage of using existing gas infrastructure.
When DECC first introduced the 'one-size fits all' biomethane to grid tariff under the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in November 2011, there were no full-scale biomethane to grid plants in commercial operation. The RHI kick-started the market for biomethane to grid and there are now three plants registered to the RHI and many more, of much higher capacities than the 1MW on which the original tariff was based, planned or in the pipeline. The RHI tariffs were calculated on a 12 per cent rate of return but it was recognised that they might need to be changed over time. DECC is now reviewing the tariff because there is a risk that the measure is excessive, providing significant upside for large plants and/or plants with existing assets that are converting to biomethane injection.
At present, the tariff is set at 7.5 pence per kWh. Rather than introducing degression, which DECC think would destabilise the market and investor confidence, DECC propose two new tariff options…

Zimmerman hits slam; Nats clicking
At last, the Washington Nationals' lineup is starting to click. In related news, Davey Johnson's squad is closer to first place than it has been in over six weeks.
Ryan Zimmerman hit a grand slam, Bryce Harper added three hits and two stolen bases, and the Nationals sent the San Diego Padres to their ninth straight loss, 11-7 on Sunday.
Stephen Strasburg (5-6) allowed four runs over six innings. He matched his season-high with nine strikeouts as the Nationals won their fourth straight, the last three over San Diego.
The victory moved the Nationals within four games of NL East-leading Atlanta. That is the smallest deficit for the defending division champions since May 20.
''We've played below our potential and now we're coming around,'' Johnson said. ''That's a good feeling.''
Feeling good isn't in the Padres' repertoire right now.
''That was a rough one. No doubt about it,'' San Diego manager Bud Black said.
Anthony Rendon hit home run and drove in three runs for the Nationals, who are four games over .500 for the first time since April 12. San Diego lost the final nine times on its 10-game road trip.
In the series finale, San Diego outhit Washington 12-11, but finished 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position. Of course, scoring seven runs is often enough to claim victory. During other parts of the skid, the offense only scored seven runs over six games.
''You're finding different ways to lose each time,'' catcher Nick Hundley said. ''Some days, we pitched great and didn't hit. Other days, we swung great and didn't pitch. You try to find a nice combination of both and go from there.''
Zimmerman's slam off Robbie Erlin (1-2) put Washington ahead 5-1 in the third inning.
In his first at-bat, the Nationals third baseman struck out on full count fastball. In the third inning, Zimmerman batted after Harper reached on an infield single off the glove of first baseman Jesus Guzman to load the bases.
With an approach Johnson described as more aggressive, Zimmerman swung at the first pitch - another fastball - he saw from Erlin and launched it over the right-field wall.
''I've kind of been the same way my whole career. I take a lot of first-pitch strikes,'' Zimmerman said. ''That kind of gives me fastballs right down the middle with the bases loaded to hit.''
Two batters later, Rendon hit a two-run homer.
Rendon and Strasburg had RBI singles during the Nationals' four-run fifth inning. Harper, chosen a day earlier for the NL All-Star team, hit an RBI single in the first.
''I think everybody has been swinging it well,'' Harper said. ''It's good to puts runs up there on the board for Stras.''
That certainly hasn't been the case most of the season. In Strasburg's previous four starts, Washington scored four runs total. The rare scoring surge with Strasburg on the mound helped the starter win for the first time in three starts and earn his second victory since May 26.
Strasburg, who started the six-run third inning with a walk, lost his way in spots. He hit three batters, walked two and in the fourth yielded a two-run homer to Alexi Amarista.
''It was a tough day for Stras out there,'' Johnson said. ''He was battling. I thought he threw good. Sometimes he fights himself ... seems like the last couple of weeks he's been snake bit.''
The right-hander allowed seven hits, his most since April 7, and never pitched a 1-2-3 inning. But the San Diego native overpowered the Padres when needed. With Washington leading 7-3 in the fifth and two runners on with two outs, Strasburg struck out Kyle Blanks.
''I think it was a good series for us, obviously getting the sweep and gaining some ground,'' Strasburg said. ''Keep swinging like that, I think we're going in the right direction.''
Amarista had three hits and drove in three runs, including an RBI groundout in the seventh against reliever Craig Stammen, who allowed three runs in one inning plus three batters.
Replacing Stammen in the eighth with two runners on and Washington leading 11-7, Drew Storen recorded three straight outs.
Making his fourth big league start, Erlin went four-plus innings, allowing nine runs on six hits and four walks.
NOTES: Chase Headley had three hits and an RBI for the Padres. ... Washington placed LHP Ross Detwiler (lower back strain) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 4. The Nationals are expected to activated RHP Dan Haren (shoulder) from the 15-day DL to replace Detwiler in the rotation for Monday's series opener at Philadelphia. ... San Diego placed C Yasmani Grandal (right knee sprain) on the 60-day disabled list and called up C Rene Rivera from Triple-A Tucson. ... San Diego returns home for a three-game series against Colorado. RHP Edinson Volquez (6-6, 5.26) opposes RHP Rockies Tyler Chatwood (4-2, 2.75) on Monday.

"Then I had been installing various apps and tools"
do you have priiloader installed? is it set to force black screen on boot? is it one of the apps you install?
I have a 4.1U wii with Bootmii installed with a valid NAND backup on a SD card.
I have been upgrading the valid NAND to install Netflix. I have installed IOS58 to install the updated Shop Channel, then the updated Shop Channel, then install Netflix.
Then I had been installing various apps and tools which always ended up with a week or so later the Wii only displaying the Bootmii screen. If you try to boot the system I get nothing but a black screen.
I assumed it was something from the homebrew channel that was causing the problem.
So the last time I started over I just did the ios58, shop channel, and Netflix install. I figured leaving out the homebrew stuff would clear up the issue.
However a week or so later I have the same problem....
a Wii that just displays a black screen.
As I primarily use this Wii for Netflix this is an issue.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening or how to fix it?
"Then I had been installing various apps and tools"
do you have priiloader installed? is it set to force black screen on boot? is it one of the apps you install?
Have you been loading games via usb with usbloader gx? What apps are you using?
Ipsa scientia potestas est.
Warning: Piracy is NOT supported. Word your questions carefully.
I've been having the same problem as well. I do use usbloader gx to load games off of a hard drive as well. I never had a problem till i installed Netflix and use it constantly. I do use priiloader to block updates and force black screen so i should be fine there. I have had to reload my NAND twice now and i'm getting kind of sick of it already.
Not sure if this will help in the troubleshooting process, but before the WII bricked this last time, the power LED was orange and wouldn't power on by remote, this is when i tried numerous attempts to boot the system, but only way to fix it was with bootmii.
Turn off the force black screen in priiloader. with that turned on everytime you boot the machine it will look like a brick.
okay no bueno (good). after a week it still went into a full brick and needed a NAND flash. did everything i recommended and re did the soft mod to exactly as mentioned on the tutorials. anyone have any helpful ideas... i know the easy solution is just remove netflix, but i'm hoping this might strike someones curiosities or experiences.
oh one more huge additonal information!!! super critical!!! there was a 456 block size difference between the NAND backup i made after all the softmods (got lazy so figured to softmod it as i restore it, lol) and when i reflashed my NAND. That's a lot of data since i didn't add anything. maybe the Big 'N' are sending update data using netflix to mess up modded systems.
Unbrick your wii, then install this via wadmanger
NetFlixChannel-v1-USA.zip - Netflix, Wad, Wii, Download, Channel
See if that helps your issue.
If your wii bricks again, back a nand backup of the bricked wii. Then use Giantpunes nand.bin check app and see if it gives any clues. Or zip the bricked nand.bin and upload it, then post the link.

The Surprising Musical Theatre Pasts of Your Favorite Movie and TV Actors
I saw Matilda: The Musical on Broadway recently, and it was overwhelming. The set and songs were captivating, of course, but what truly had me floored was the titanic force of the child actors — many of whom were navigating their very first decade of life. They sang with more passion than some trained adults, and danced with that particular type of high-octane energy only available to schoolchildren on a sugar rush. It was impossible not to feel like the audience was being treated to a sneak preview of tomorrow's superstars. … Read More

For me, it was River Phoenix, particularly of the Stand By Me days. The other day I put that movie on while I was sorting laundry, and I admit, I am still a little proud of my tweenage self for that crush. Twenty years on, he's still a really good actor, stormily romantic even before that sky broke open. I still remember the twist in my stomach when I heard he'd overdosed on a sidewalk, the first edition of a feeling I'd come to understand is just a part of paying attention to celebrities at all. … Read More

First Original Glee Cast Songs Hit Airwaves
If you've been watching Glee, you've probably caught on to the fact that they're planning on debuting some original songs in upcoming episodes. After all, Rachel's not doing all that awkward practicing for nothing. Well, it seems that we won't have to listen to her sing very many more odes to her headband. Yesterday, two completely original tracks slated to debut on the March 15th episode premiered on "On Air With Ryan Seacrest". Both tracks were written by Max Martin and Glee music producer Adam, and produced by Martin, the man behind many a Britney Spears and Kelly Clarkson hit. According to Anders, the first track, "Loser," is a "Gleek anthem. It's a very uptempo, kind-of-summery hit," while the second track, "Get It Right" was written specifically for Lea Michele's character and her storyline trajectory on the show. We're not so sure how we feel about this — isn't the best part about Glee recognizing a song you know and watching the characters act it out? What do you think — will Glee turn into a pop-hit factory with Lea Michele and Cory Monteith at the helm, or are they better off just covering every Journey song ever? Take a listen after the jump and let us know in the comments! … Read More

1999 Ford F-150 XL 4dr Extended Cab 4WD LB
I bought this truck after it had over 100,000 highway miles on it. I have put about 25,000 more miles on it with a 'mix' of town and highway miles. This has been an awesome truck for me! No repairs, no bad points. A small V8, super cab, 4 wheel drive, and on the road it gets about 20 mpg. Great truck! Drives well, all options work, good cruise, comfortable, dependable, etc. I will keep using F150s, and this has really been a NICE truck for me. It could be the way it has been driven- with mostly highway miles, but really nice. Still uses NO oil, and drives like a dream. Hope I find another one like it when I finally wear this one out.
Comfortable, dependable, well put together, good gas mileage.
Find me another one just like it in about 5 years, and I will be even happier.
1999 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr Extended Cab SB
We sold our 2004 Explorer last summer to buy our 1999 Ford F150. We love it - actually more than our Explorer. We bought it so we could pull a camper cross-country when we were moving. My family has always loved Fords but my husband was a Chevy man until this purchase. We pulled a 26' camper loaded with belongings through several mountain chains - when we started through the first set of mountains, my husband said if we make it all the way there with no problems, I'll be a Ford man. Not one problem! In fact, that was last July and we still have had no problems. We put new tires on it when we bought it and have had the tires rotated and oil changed - THAT'S IT! Highly recommend this model.
It is such a comfortable ride - a tough, well built truck. I guess the reliability would be our favorite feature.
1999 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
I have replaced 3 ignition coils, all on the number 1 cylinder. I don't know why, but 3 on the same one seems kind of weird. I also had a fuel pump replaced last year. Other than that, it's been very reliable, and it's used in rough service. I have many short trips to and from work, and I often tow my boats with it. It has plenty of power, and it looks, rides, and runs like new.
The interior room is amazing! Nothing comes close to it. I love the ride of this truck, and it's smooth, and fun to drive.
Fuel mileage should be a bit better. At the worst I get 9mpg, and the best is 14+. Placement of the electronic 4x4 shift knob can be confused with the heater fan knob if you are not familiar with their locations. I would have preferred that the 4x4 shift knob be placed elsewhere.
1999 Ford F-150 XLT 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB
This has been a great truck. The only problem I have had is burnt out coils on the plugs. I have replaced three in four years which I guess isn't too bad.The 5.4 liter engine has great torque and has easily out run many Chevrolets with 5.7 liter engines. The ride quality is good but gas mileage really blows, I do good to get 14 miles per gallon in mixed driving. But the truck is still tight with no rattles at 71000 miles. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, reliable truck.
Powerful engine, love the body style, good factory stereo.
Better mileage, better made coils.
1999 Ford F-150 Work 4dr Extended Cab SB
It is a nice riding pickup with good ergonomics. HOWEVER, there are major known problems with this pickup and the 5.4L Triton engines that Ford refuses to correct without the customer paying for it. First, the ignition coils are VERY prone to fail. I have replaced 4 of them in the last 6 months - 2 being the same coil. There is also a problem with the spark plugs blowing out of the aluminum cylinder head on the passenger side. Again, Ford will not cover this under ANY warranty program and it is a WELL ESTABLISHED DEFECT. Lastly, since the 4 Wheel Drive disengagement spring is very weak,it will likely not shift out of 4 Wheel Hi Range unless you stop the vehicle and back up.
If it worked, the 4 wheel shift on the fly.
A) Ford should be honest and display integrity when dealing with well established design defects of their own making. B) Replacing reliable and economical items like a standard coil & plug set up, just to generate extra repair revenue is not the way to keep customers.
1999 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
I wish the mpg was higher. I experience a low of 9, and a high of 14 mpg on the road. I often tow a boat trailer, and the truck pulls great. I love the interior room, which nothing on the road can compare to it. After 6 years and 60,000 miles of tough use, I replaced an ignition coil 3 times, 1 fuel pump, and had one brake job. As for everything else, it looks, runs, and rides like brand new. Except for the coil problem (?), and my wish for higher gas mileage, I can't complain. My friends also drive (other brands of) 4x4 pick-ups, and they say their mileage is worse than mine. I have a heavy truck, that was rear-ended hard while I was stopped. I had no damage. I love my F150 4x4!
Roominess, towing capacity, performance, and smooth ride.
Better gas mileage for this 5.4 liter engine.
1999 Ford F-150 XL 4dr Extended Cab LB
The truck has been fine and I've babied it for six years. In the past three years, it's been a third vehicle, so hasn't gotten much use. Now I discovered it needs a head gasket replaced! This is a $2,000 job and I find this unacceptable for a babied, 75,000-mile vehicle. Last Ford I will ever own.
Reliability, fuel economy, comfort.
1999 Ford F-150 Lariat 4dr Extended Cab 4WD SB
Bought my truck from my father in law. His loss. It is a fantastic truck. No major problems. It is a four wheeling beast in the sand dunes. Never was a Ford fan before but my next truck will probably be a Ford again after my time spent with this one.
Step side body style and 4x4 height make for an impressive exterior. Leather interior is comfortable even in the Texas sun. Smooth ride. Climbs sand dunes without any problems. I haven't customized my truck for 4x4ing; it was all done with stock. Big 5.4 V8 has plenty of power.
1999 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr Extended Cab SB
I have had NO problems with this vehicle. I moved from LA to then moved back to AL and coming back I towed another vehicle behind me. As you can imagine going through the Rocky Mountains towing a car behind me might seem difficult. But not this truck. It held its own and then some with the flow of traffic. No problems going UP mountains. A/C,P/W,P/L all still work fine. Killer Stereo. As you can tell I crazy in love with my F150 XLT Triton V8 truck!
The COMFORT, AC, POWER ... I guess you could say the whole package!
I can't think of anything that would improve on what is already offered.
1999 Ford F-150 XL 4dr Extended Cab SB
Bought this truck three years ago with 67,000 miles. It has been GREAT! Only repairs were a rebuilt alternator, and brake disks, front. Otherwise, it hasn't missed a lick, great seats, decent mileage. Ride is a little bouncy without a load, but less than my neighbors nearly new Dodge 4 x 4. Would definitely buy it again.
Could stand help with the ride, but I guess Ford knows that, given recent improvements; still, it's better than most.

Kyoto Mixes Fun for Kids with Antiquities
Byline: Adam Geller Associated Press By Adam Geller Associated Press -CLMN-
KYOTO, Japan -- Rocks to the left of us, rocks to the right. With the Hozu River rushing in between, our oarsman swung the boat hard, threading the boulders as water splashed overboard -- and on to my 10-year-old daughter's lap.
You never know how kids will react to new experiences, but not to worry. "Daddy," my daughter said, beaming as we headed for more rapids, "this must be the best summer ever!"
Any parent who has charted a family vacation hopes for that kind of reaction. But when my wife and I made plans to take our son and daughter to Kyoto, I had a few doubts. Kyoto is one of the highlights of any trip to Japan, an ancient and fascinating city, packed with temples and shrines, a place to savor refined culture.
But can it be kid- and family-friendly? Most definitely, especially if you take advantage of the variety Kyoto has to offer, hop on the city's easy-to-use bus system, and keep your eyes open for some of its surprising travel bargains. With that in mind, here's a checklist for enjoying Japan's ancient capital in ways that you and your kids will enjoy.
* Tour of tastes: You could spend months visiting temples and shrines in Kyoto. But to kids, they can start to blur. So put some space in between them. Kyoto is best explored on foot, leaving lots of opportunities for stopping off at interesting destinations along the way to antiquity.
One of our favorite stops was the Nishiki-koji market, a short bus ride from downtown, where Kyotoites stocks their refrigerators and kitchen cupboards. Nishiki is a long, narrow street, covered by an arcade and lined with shops selling all sorts of snackable delicacies, like just-baked rice crackers, sashimi on skewers, and croquettes filled with chocolate, as well as wares like chopsticks and gourmet cutlery. It's as interesting to browse here as to eat, and many places give out samples of their edible wares.
* Meet a samurai: Visit the Toei Uzumasa Eigamura (movie village) and you may well see crews filming a samurai flick or television drama. But even if the cameras aren't rolling, the "village" designed to look like the Japan of yore is fun to wander, offering the chance to meet actors in period costume who are happy to pose for photos. There's also a theater on site, where live-action ninja shows are staged.
* Ride the rapids: We built a day around the 10-mile ride down the Hozu, starting with a short train ride just outside the city and ending in the lovely neighborhood of Arashiyama. Guides pole fiberglass boats seating about 20 people through a deep gorge, where my 8-year-old son spotted turtles, snakes, deer and numerous water birds. Ask your hotel or at the tourist information office inside Kyoto station (tell them you want to go on the Hozu-gawa Kudari) to help you call ahead for a reservation, which is recommended but not required. Tickets cost $42 for adults and $27 for children older than 3 (credit cards not accepted).
* Soak up culture: Bathing is an almost religious ritual in Japan and can be the centerpiece of a memorable vacation experience. Kyoto is not known for the hot springs that dot much of Japan, but it has a few. We stopped at Sagano Onsen -- Tenzan no Yu, a hot spring spa minutes from Arashiyama on a charming one-car train. A cheaper and more plentiful destination is one of the city's "super sentos," public baths with multiple tubs. The tourist office can provide a sheet in English listing these. In either, you wash thoroughly at bathing stations before entering multiple soaking pools, both indoors and out.
* Get festive: Kyoto hosts many festivals throughout the year. When we visited Kyoto in August, the city was celebrating the weeks around the Tanabata festival with lights, including computer-animated projections on the wall of the city's castle and the launching of thousands of lighted blue plastic balls down the Horigawa, a narrow waterway not far from downtown. …

As leaders shift their focus to customers and quality, they realize that the old authoritarian leadership style does not work anymore. To achieve quality, service, and rapid response, leaders must utilize all available talent. They must find ways to inspire, involve, and empower employees. They must create a work environment that encourages commitment, innovation, and cooperation. Instead of evaluating, leaders now coach. Instead of doing, they delegate. Instead of telling, they facilitate. No one is expected to boss anyone. Everyone is expected to participate.
Dr. Suzanne Willis Zoglio
By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.
Robert Frost
A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting.

"I just in looooove with this dress. Romantic or for a night out easy to accessorize and the ruffles are gorgeous. The trapeze collar is ideal when you have smaller boobs. The color is vibrant and the fitting is just awesome. Even if you're a bit short like me the length is still very elegant. I can only recommend this dress!!! I would love it in another color. Tempting ;-) "
"I wore IGIGI Felina dress in Crimson at the launching of the book by the most famous Italian TV stylists I MURR in Milan during Milan Fashion Week and matched it with an animal printed clutch, black ankle boots and tights and red jewellery. I was surprised to see how the dress is conceived especially for a plus size body and would flatter any type of figure. I was a little in doubt as to how it would have looked on me since my waistline is not too defined as in an hourglass, but I was pleasantly surprised to see it looked great on me too.
I would suggest for elasticated dresses such as this one to go a size down as compared to the size guide. The color is fabulous, I was complimented a lot on it, and I feel like a real retro diva in this dress. I find that IGIGI's positive message to women is so unique and empowering."
"I loved this dynamic piece!!! It hugged every beautiful curve!!! I encourage every woman to embrace those curves--get this dress!!!"
"Wearing this dress made me feel absolutely glamorous! I hosted and produced a plus size fashion show this past April, and I knew I had to look smashing on stage when representing my company and introducing all of the designers and entertainment (IGIGI included!)
So when I had the opportunity to wear the Felina dress, I knew I couldn't pass it up.. It fit like a glove and accentuated all of my curves perfectly - I was fielding compliments all night! Thank you IGIGI for yet again making such incredible clothing :)

"This dress is wonderful. it shows my curves and is not very revealing. The arms were kind of tight. The dress went all the way over my knees which I love. I will continue to buy dresses from IGIGI because no other company is producing these types of dresses."

The St-Leu area has beautiful views and many restaurants. There is a parking lot across the canal in a paid lot.
We took the Office of Tourism's tour through St Leu and although we think the area is lovely, it is presently in a very sad state, especially at the northern part of the tour. Hopefully the mayor of Amiens will allow funds to help to revive it - there is such character here! We got off the 'track' at one... More
Very friendly and busy restaurant, lots of large pork on the menu, really difficult to chose. Desserts were good as well, would have liked to tried more.
The St.Leu area is quite diverse beginning with the shops and cafés along rue Vanmarcke which are obviously serving the thriving student population. Crossing over the bridge towards Quai Bélu one finds the touristy area comprising several bars/restaurants (but usually open on Sundays which is a bonus). Have eaten in some of these restaurants and they are not that expensive.... More
We walked through this area both during the day and night and it has a great feel to it. It's just behind the glorious cathedral, so easy to find. We had coffee in one restaurant and dinner in another, and it seems that where you go in the area there is a good welcome. Well worth a visit.
Beautiful spot by the river, nice restaurants, buildings, park either just to wander or to stop at a bar and soak up the ambience. Look out for the car obviously placed in the river near the statue, a students prank I think.
Outside seating areas to sit and eat and drink and take in the views. I always use it. I like to spend pleasurable evenings eating French cuisine. I have no dislikes
Just the area to amble round, looking at the buildings and the mediaeval layout. The few shops are small and "touristy" but you are not there to shop. It isn't entirely traffic free and the cobbled surface is difficult for the less mobile, but otherwise a pleasant amble between the Cathedral and the restaurants. Weekend evenings are more exciting as... More
Many shops with a variety of goods. A good Subway shop for a snack in the middle of old town. On holidays everything is closed. You have to park outside the old town and walk the streets.
