#1 – MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust System 19291 – Winner Best Exhaust System for Toyota Tacoma
MagnaFlow have been in the exhaust game for over 30 years, forming out of the still successful Car Sound Exhaust company. MagnaFlow offer a range of exhaust products for trucks, muscle cars, and performance exotics. Their philosophy focused not only on power, but sound and quality as well.
Magnaflow operate a large R&D center just north of San Diego, which keeps them at the forefront of automotive technology. All components are expertly designed, flow bench tested and proven on a dynamometer. To back it all up they're ISO-9001 certified and provide lifetime warranties on all their products.
The MagnaFlow 19291 is their interpretation of the performance exhaust for a Toyota Tacoma. It's a single output exhaust and exits behind the rear axle. The tip is large and round, with the same polished stainless steel appearance of the rest of the exhaust. Composed entirely out of 409 stainless steel, all bending of the 3" tube is done with the help of a mandrel. The straight-through flow muffler is sure to up the power and torque of your truck, while providing the best in and out of car sound.
Receiving the top ranking from customers, it's also the most expensive product on our list, by over $100. If quality and performance are what you want though, it may be worth paying the price. Installation is quick, customers are full of praise for its quality, and they're loving the sound. Full marks all around, and our nomination for the best exhaust system for the Toyota Tacoma.
#2 – MBRP Aluminized Single Side Exit Cat Back Exhaust System S5326AL
If you're not paying too much attention, you may mistake the MBRP S5326AL for the MagnaFlow we just said was the best. But on closer inspection there are a number of reasons we don't put it top of our list. The lower rating does also mean a lower price though, so be sure to balance those out when you make your decision.
While having the same general form, MBRP make use of several pieces of tubing, instead of the one-piece design MagnaFlow incorporated. Along with that is the change to MBRP's own muffler design. The tailpipe is a large, 4" diameter polished stainless steel module that has the MBRP logo emblazoned on its side.
MBRP have been in the business for over 20 years, starting a business around snowmobiles they've developed into the company they are today covering the racing, off-road and performance on road sector. They strive for excellence in their products, working hard with customers and distributors to build a strong brand name.
The MBRP S5326AL then doesn't disappoint, with positive customer reviews. The biggest compliment going to the sound performance that has a solid throaty noise. If buying this kit for a crew cab short bed or access cab, keep a saw handy, as one of the pipes needs to be shortened to get it to fit. On top of that, the product is not fully stainless steel, with several components made from aluminized steel. Shouldn't be a problem for most, but if you regularly drive on roads that they salt in the winter, rust will set in a bit quicker than a full stainless steel alternative.
#3 – TRD Toyota Tacoma Cat-back Exhaust
We always like it when a manufacturer releases performance products for their own vehicles, and thanks to the Toyota Racing Division, this is true for your Tacoma as well. We know many people appreciate fitting genuine parts to their car, and that's what TRD have provided in the form of their cat-back exhaust.
Once again, we have an almost identical design, with muffler going to a behind the axle, enlarged tip. Starting at the back you've got a polished stainless steel tip that has the TRD logo etched into it. This product is specifically for short bed variants of the Tacoma, and they don't seem to have a full bed option at this time. The system allows a less restricted airflow, improving power by 5 to 8hp at the wheel.
If you're looking for a deep, throaty tone for your Tacoma, along with some extra power, all while maintaining your 100% Toyota truck, the TRD offering is definitely for you. It is one of the more expensive options, but that is to be expected with an original manufacturer part.
Customers mostly love the product, saying that it gives a great sound and noticeable power gain, with just one reviewer complaining that it is too loud. TRD put a lot of effort into their products, all engineered with the same approach that they apply to their racing offerings.
#4 – Flowmaster Cat-back System – Dual Side Exit – American Thunder 17432
Flowmaster's product is one of the few exhaust systems that chooses to split the output, resulting in a twin exhaust from the muffler, sending one pipe to each side of your vehicle. Still bending over your rear axle, exhaust tips protrude behind the rear wheel mud flaps.
The tips in question have a diameter of 3" and are made of polished stainless steel. The rest of the system is based around 16 gauge, 2.5" diameter aluminized steel tubing. A full stainless steel model is also available, but will set you back an extra $100.
The exhaust falls into Flowmaster's American Thunder range of mufflers, with a moderate to aggressive sound provided. Even with the extra exhaust pipe, they've made sure to include the necessary hangers to make installation easy.
Flowmaster have a strong racing pedigree and are founded on the principles of sound engineering. Their mission is to provide the best exhausts products to the market, putting a lot of effort into research and development of new products and technologies.
The Flowmaster 1732 falls mid-range as far as price is concerned, but it does give you the desirable dual output. The product has sold relatively well with no negative reviews. Although a slight drone is noted at highway speeds, it is not annoying, and is more than made up for the rest of the time. Installation is straightforward, although several customers recommend welding the exhaust in place once fitted.
#5 – Dynomax Stainless Steel Exhaust System 39447
Back to the one-legged variants, DynoMax offer the 39447 as a full stainless steel exhaust system at an amazing price. The cheapest exhaust system to choose from, the 2.5" tubes are all mandrel bent and welded together, although it does come in three parts.
The muffler is one of DynoMax's UltraFlo units which come with a limited lifetime warranty. They have an unrestricted, straight-through design, that reduces back pressure and provides a unique sound while their patented Continuous Roving Fiberglass technology reduces drone. DynoMax are so confident in their products that they offer a 90-day sound guarantee, allowing you to return the product if you're not satisfied with the way it sounds for a full refund.
As expected, the products get dynamometer tested to ensure a premium performance from the system. The system finishes with a large 4" diameter, single walled tip that is made from polished stainless steel.
The low price DynoMax put on the 39447 ensured that it has sold well, with mostly positive reviews from customers. The sound is good, as is the performance, and the price even more so. Some customers felt the noise was a little more aggressive than expected.
#6 – MagnaFlow Large Stainless Steel Performance Exhaust System 17115
Another MagnaFlow product, the 17115 is a considerably cheaper alternative to the 19291. The major difference here is that the 17115 does not send the tailpipe out the side, but instead dumps it underneath the car. Simplifying the design, but removing any visual aspect associated with the product.
Otherwise it matches the 19291's stainless steel construction with 2.5" diameter tubes all mandrel bent. The muffler has a straight through design with perforated core, along with the shorter piping results in a much more aggressive sound.
Designed as part of the off-road pro series, it's goal is maximum performance and minimal weight. Designed to MagnaFlow's high quality standards, it might not be our choice for your daily driver, but would be a lot of fun for the off-road enthusiast.
From customer reports, it works better for short bed vehicles, although can be made to fit on a long bed. Beyond that, as loud as the product is expected to be, some people who bought it didn't realize just how loud it was. This alone seemed to get it a few negative reviews.
#7 – MBRP 3″ Cat Back Exhaust System S5338BLK
MBRP round off the main products in the review, with the black and beautiful S5338BLK. A full stainless steel model, it's mandrel bent from a larger set of 3" tubing, culminating in a typical 4" single side, black tip.
Part of MBRP's black series, the performance exhaust is designed to maximize flow and minimize temperatures, helping your Tacoma perform better. Built to industry standards, all their products get trialed on the dynamometer before being released to customers.
With a history that started with snowmobiles, MBRP have always had a penchant for off-road vehicles, taking extra pride in their top of the range products. If you're looking for both an aggressive look and sound, the MBRP S5338BLK fits that bill.
This product is fairly new on the market, owing to it being designed for 2016 and later models of the Tacoma. Customer feedback is neither here nor there. It fits a long bed model, but can be cut to fit those with a short bed. Even still one buyer had trouble fitting it themselves. A bit loud for some, there's no drone at high speed, and otherwise sounds good.
Honorable Mentions
Flowmaster 819144
A single side offering from Flowmaster, but a lot more expensive thanks to its full stainless steel muffler and tubing. The 16-gauge tubing comes fully welded and assembled, ready to attach to your pickup. The sound provided is described as moderate, falling in as part of their dBX performance range.
Improved power and torque are ensured thanks to the Laminar Flow technology the system integrates. Finished off with an attractive polished stainless steel exhaust tip, the Flowmaster logo is just noticeable, etched on the edge.
Flowmaster have a good reputation, and their dBX range is one of the best. For that you have to pay though.
aFe Power 49-46022-B
If you thought the Flowmaster was expensive, aFe know how to take it up a notch. High price is at least here linked to high quality, and aFe have put a lot in to ensure their 49-46022-B model puts out.
A custom muffler formed from stainless steel, you can expect a deep tone from their Mach Force-XP range product. Also provided are an increase in horsepower and torque. In the looks department aFe have opted for an overly large black tip with aFe Power logo emblazoned on the side.
Gibson 618814
Although Gibson's history has them starting off trying to give a motorhome a boost, their 30 years of experience has done them well, resulting in a company putting out quality products for trucks, off-road vehicles and a range of other performance vehicles.
The fairly expensive Gibson 618814 is a 3-piece kit of 2.5" diameter stainless steel tubes, carefully bent with mandrels and welded at other points. Their own muffler is provided, with a baffled and chambered design, it doesn't have any packing which results in minimal drone and an aggressive sound.
The product is rounded off with a 4" polished stainless steel tip with their own rolled slash-cut design. Backed by a lifetime warranty, it offers power gains in the 5-7 hp range.
The first-generation Tacoma with its 4.0l V6 engine was produced for over ten years, resulting in the massive selection of aftermarket products available to you. Decisions are harder than ever so we hope the information we've compiled here today will help you make your own choice as to what you consider to be the best exhaust system for the Toyota Tacoma.

First POST: Tony Meow Now

Tony Meow Now
The Upshot, the New York Times' new data-driven news vertical, has launched. Most interesting, from editor David Leonhardt's introductory note:
Perhaps most important, we want The Upshot to feel like a collaboration between journalists and readers. We will often publish the details behind our reporting — such as the data for our inequality project or the computer code for our Senate forecasting model — and we hope that readers will find angles we did not. We also want to get story assignments from you: Tell us what data you think deserves exploration. Tell us which parts of the news you do not understand as well as you'd like.
Dan Gillmor, the first mainstream journalist to blog, who was way ahead of his time in saying "My readers know more than I do," should take a victory lap. The Times never hired him, but they have internalized his best idea.
Staff working for Australia's Prime Minister and Cabinet have apparently spent a fair amount of time discussing a web plug-in called "Tony Meow Now" that replaces pictures of Prime Minister Tony Abbott with cute kittens. The developer Dan Nolan and Ben Taylor filed a FOI request to get any internal correspondence related to their plug-in, and now the government wants them to pay $720 in fees to get 137 pages of internal correspondence. Says Nolan, 'I don't think there's going to be any high-level stuff ... but it would be really interesting to see how a government department reacts to these weird new kinds of technology and culture jamming stuff, which previously they wouldn't have had to deal with.''

Sanderson rides the bike husband chose for her
Sun., Dec. 23, 2012
Liz Sanderson bought the motorcycle her late husband picked out for her before he was killed while riding to attend the funeral of his mother in August.
"It's beautiful," Sanderson said of her candy-apple red Honda Shadow. "He said, 'This bike is for you.' So, I bought it after everything settled. It's a good fit, everything. He made a good choice."
John C. Sanderson, 59, died on Aug. 24, a day after Liz Sanderson had a dream in which she foresaw a bike on its side and a body under a truck. She didn't tell her husband about the dream because of his abiding love of riding motorcycles, something he had done since age 13.
But as a result of the dream, Liz Sanderson chose not to ride her own motorcycle. She rode in a car and followed her husband, who worked as the prosthetics purchasing agent for the Spokane Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
As they drove to attend the funeral of Sanderson's 81-year-old mother, Delores J. Sanderson, in Newport, Wash., Liz Sanderson's bad dream came true as she saw brake lights and cars pulling off onto the shoulder of U.S. Highway 2.
She arrived to find her husband under a 1993 F-350 utility truck driven by Garry D. Baumgartner, 37, of Valleyford.
According to police reports, Baumgartner had pulled his truck to the northbound shoulder of the highway. He then attempted to make a U-turn, steering directly in the path of John Sanderson.
As his family waited for the funeral of Delores Sanderson to begin, they learned that John Sanderson had been killed.
"I read John's autopsy report," his wife said. "Reading about the injuries he had, I'm glad he didn't survive."
The autopsy showed a devastating brain injury, a lacerated liver, broken ribs and a torn aorta. Liz Sanderson donated her husband's organs and gave away all his clothes to help homeless veterans.
The couple were due to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary Dec. 12. Instead, Liz Sanderson traveled with a friend to Seattle.
"I decided to make the anniversary an adventure instead of a sad occasion," she said.
She's attended grief counseling, something that didn't suit her sensibilities, and recently attended the funeral of John's father, Norman C. "Sandy" Sanderson, of Spokane.
He died Nov. 26 at age 84 after having lost his wife, son, daughter and stepson. "He had kidney disease and was on dialysis for 2 1/2 years," Liz Sanderson said. "Losing John and his wife was very hard. It was too much for him. He chose to exit gracefully."
Since she purchased the Honda Shadow, Liz Sanderson has logged 222 miles and become an advocate for road safety.
"Drive like it's your last day," she said. Motorcycle riders should "drive defensively. Don't assume someone will see you, because they won't."
She also recommended that motorcycle riders and others who engage in high-risk hobbies purchase the $59 annual family membership from Northwest MedStar to cover most of the cost of emergency care. Just landing the MedStar helicopter at the crash scene in August cost about $14,000, she said.
She has not spoken to Baumgartner, who was cited for second-degree negligent driving for causing the crash.
Efforts by The Spokesman-Review to reach Baumgartner were not successful.
"He should never forget this or forgive himself," Sanderson said. "It was his haste that damaged not only my life but his life and his own family's. That's not worth two minutes off your road time. Accept the mistake, but don't do it again."

Popular Economics Weekly
Why should so many rust-belt citizens vote for President-Elect Donald Trump, who is patently against the interest of working class voters? I am speaking of his promise to revoke Obamacare, which will make the 20-30 million dependent on it poorer and sicker. And his selection of Oklahoma Attorney General Pruitt to run the EPA, who we know wants to roll back environmental regulations, making everyone warmer, or House Speaker Ryan, who really wants to abolish Medicare as we know it and turn it into a voucher plan.
A recent Penn State study tells us why so many of the poorest and displaced white, blue collar workers voted for him. It was the desperation of depressed families and communities rampant with drug and alcohol abuse, in part from the loss of jobs and the identities that went with holding a decent paying job that would trust a strong white male with authoritative tendencies who made enough pie-in-the-sky promises over a female President with 30 years experience in government.
One can say that such desperation leads to an irrational kind of anger, against anything that looks like the old order. Yet it was the old, white male order that created both the Great Recession—because GW Bush's trickle-down economics cut regulations as well as taxes of the wealthiest, frittering away the budget surpluses of President Clinton's last 4 years in office—and obstructed a robust recovery by opposing almost any stimulus spending, even shutting down the government in 2011.
The Penn State study showed how hopeless was the situation to the inhabitants now isolated from the modern multi-ethnic, multi-racial, multi-national economy. Most of those industrial, high-paying blue collar jobs are gone, replaced by high tech machines and little effort was made to replace them or rebuild those communities.
The factory sector has been contracting since October 2014, but has recently shown signs of strength. Factory orders surged 2.7 percent in October. Both commercial and defense, were major positives, but the strength was well distributed with the monthly gain excluding all aircraft at a very strong 0.7 percent.
Donald Trump got significantly more votes in areas with high rates of drug addiction, alcohol abuse and suicide, according to the study done by Shannon Monnat, a Penn State researcher who specializes in rural issues.
"I think Trump's anti-free trade message resonated in these places and his rhetoric was very simple — Make America great again," Monnat said. "And you have to understand that in some of these places that have experienced widespread decline in manufacturing and extraction and the types of jobs that pay livable wages, people there really feel like America is not so great anymore. I think the message that he was the change candidate really resonated with people in these places."
According to Swayne's article, the mortality rate from drugs, alcohol and suicide is 36 deaths per 100,000 people in the least economically distressed parts of the country. The rate is 49 deaths per 100,000 in the most economically distressed areas.
There is now some hope for the rust belt if Trump can carry through on his infrastructure rebuilding promise. After two years in contraction, factory orders year-on-year rates are again positive, at 1.3 percent, and for shipments, at 0.4 percent. October details included a useful 0.4 percent rise in shipments and a 0.7 percent jump in unfilled orders that ended a long run of contraction for this reading.
We hope the factory sector and manufacturing in general can recover in those areas most affection by high addiction rates, as the CDC reported in a 2007 report that more people now die from heroin overdose that gun homicides in those same rust-belt areas. And opioid deaths continued to surge in 2015, surpassing 30,000 for the first time in recent history, according to CDC data released Thursday. That marks an increase of nearly 5,000 deaths from 2014. Deaths involving powerful synthetic opiates, like fentanyl, rose by nearly 75 percent from 2014 to 2015.

Guitarati.com (Chicago, US) – an innovative music site, launched in private beta on February 14th, 2008 and in public beta on April 8th, 2008, introduces a new approach to music. That is through our perception of colour. Guitarati asks us to look within our soul and discover the colour that corresponds to our feeling at any given moment. Similarly, colours that correspond to a particular musical element will be discovered and then begins this interesting relationship between colour and music.
I had a chance to talk to the creator of Guitarati Sonal Pandey, who also brings to the table her software industry background, this is what she had to say:
Why is your site different than your competitors?
Guitarati provides an offbeat, intuitive way of music discovery based on music-color co-relation. Amidst a world of music discovery dominated by tag clouds, 1-10 rating systems and so forth, we wanted something that enabled users to easily find music that others had 'felt' the same about. In this way, we work orthogonally to the heavy number crunching music discovery algorithms and other social music discovery methods out there.
What is your business plan or model?
Users can listen to full length tracks for a cent, and these cents get deducted from the download price when they download the song. Or they can listen to free, high quality samples. Guitarati provides multiple means of revenue for bands and labels, as they get paid for song downloads as well as streaming. Bands and labels decide the price of their music and retain 75% of the earnings. We earn money through a cut of the music streaming and download sales.
Why did you start this website?
We want to create products and services that are fun, unconventional, perhaps even bizarre. Music discovery is one such step. On a serious note, we think that the future of massive data classification could be more intuition based. Of course, we don't mean intuition in a woo-woo new-agey scaring-people-off way, but in a way that lets people follow their instincts. People use their instincts so often, may be more than we realize, that making a choice of music based purely on what color they feel attracted to at any given time is not so far-fetched after all.
Music color relation has been studied for ages and explored by the likes of Newton and Plato. Research and experience show that music and emotions are tightly coupled. The thought of color based music discovery occurred to us one day and then we started reading up on the this intriguing topic. And so we began working on the website 6 months ago.
How are you planning to market it?
We believe that simple, quirky means attract people's attention better than somber campaigns costing thousands of dollars. We are using the power of social media and since our target visitors frequent social websites, we are benefitting from this approach. Other than this, we are regularly being written about in blogs.
Any other information that you believe is relevant to your startup?
We utilized the private beta period to invite bands and record labels to upload their music while we parallelly tested and finished our back-end systems. The website is now open to everyone who has an interest in music or color or both. Responses from website users have been ranging from 'love it' to 'I don't get it' and everything in between. But the bottom-line of all feedback has been curiosity. That we think is a good start.
Certainly Guitarati is an innovative and interesting approach to music that will definitely build hype among music enthusiasts and surfers alike. In this day and age, building sites that cater to a different perspective on a known concept or perhaps an entirely different concept is a promising approach. Also, having a sense of creativity and a honest desire to present ideas and concepts in a different light are really praiseworthy. In that regard, I have much anticipation for Guitarati and the curiousity it creates.

The Library of Alexandria: Centre of Learning in the Ancient World
"The Library of Alexandria explores one of the greatest cultural adornments of the late ancient world. The origins of the 'vanished library' of Alexandria lie in the distant echoes of the great library of Pisistratus in Athens, an institution which set the tone for establishing a dominant culture and inspired Alexander the Great to build a library of his own in his empire's most important city. Thus he expanded his cultural and imperial influence and power throughout the known world. The library contained thousands of scrolls of Greek, Hebrew and Mesopotamian literature as well as art and artefacts from ancient Egypt. Roy MacLeod has here assembled an array of distinguished scholars to bring this great institution - - tragically destroyed at the fall of Alexandria in 643 - - back to life.

The European Trademark Office has today published an application by Apple for dibs on the word "thinnovation". And what's more, it's not just for computers and notebooks, but for "all manner of telecommunications," hinting that Apple may have some broader WiMax plans up its sleeve.
In related news, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, and Weight Watchers all expressed disappointment that they have "no cool way of telling people about new weight loss programs now." I might suggest "skinnyvation" or "lossyvation" or "prettyvation" now that "thinnovation" is off the table.

Pearson Fuels of San Diego has been given $1.35 million from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to install 19 E85 fuel pumps in fuel stations from San Diego to South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
The fuel company says the pumps that dispense the blend of ethanol and gasoline will displace approximately 2,754,218 gallons of regular gasoline per year.
"There are hundreds of thousands of flexible fuel vehicle owners in California who have been burning imported oil in their vehicles for years while a domestically produced, renewable and cleaner burning fuel is available," said Mike Lewis, Pearson Fuels General Manager.
The problem, said Lewis, is that not enough retail fuel stations are dispensing E85. In a release he said less than 45 E85 stations are in California.
"The CEC's funding, matched with our own and that of the retail fuel station owners will go a long way towards addressing that shortage," stated Lewis.

While state governments as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continue to advance the use of ethanol-blended fuels, opponents say that even in much lower percentage blends, the fuel burns less efficiently. And in some older model-year cars and trucks, as well as motorcycles, ethanol blends may cause damage to vehicle components over the long term.
In October 2010, the EPA approved the use of E15 in model year 2007 and newer light-duty vehicles (cars, light-duty trucks and medium-duty passenger vehicles). Then, in January 2011, the EPA added model year 2001-06 light-duty vehicles to the approved list.
Late last year the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), a member-supported advocacy group, reported that it was successful in lobbying the EPA to alter a requirement that consumers buy at least four gallons of gasoline from certain gas pumps after the new E15 (up to 15 percent ethanol by volume) ethanol-gasoline blend is introduced into the market.
The problem was, said the AMA, that unlike an automobile or SUV that has a large fuel tank, the residual fuel left in a fueling hose could be detrimental to the performance of motorcycle or ATV engines due to the small size of their fuel tanks and the higher concentration of ethanol that would, therefore, be present in the fuel.
"In addition, the use of E15 will lower fuel efficiency and possibly cause premature engine failure," said Wayne Allard, AMA vice president for government relations, in a letter to the EPA in June 2012.
"Use of E15 fuel voids many manufacturer warranties. In off-road engines, the effects can even be dangerous for users," he said.
Last month, in response to ongoing AMA concerns, the EPA indicated to the AMA that it would no longer require a minimum purchase of four gallons. Instead, the EPA will now likely require a label on blender pumps that dispense E10 and E15 through the same hose that state the pump is solely for passenger cars and trucks.
In addition, the EPA indicated it would require stations that sell E15 to also have a pump with a dedicated E10 hose for use by motorcycles and other vehicles the EPA hasn't approved for E15 use.
Funding to Pearson Fuels for the 19 E85 stations was made available through CEC's Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program.

Deputies union the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs endorsed Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell in the race for L.A. County sheriff on Tuesday, according to a press release from the union.
"Working together, we will once again be recognized as the greatest in the nation," McDonnell said.

Other organizations that endorsed McDonnell at the press conference include the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the Long Beach Police Officers Association, the L.A. County Professional Peace Officer Association and the L.A. County Deputy Probation Officers — AFSCME Local 685, along with dozens of other law enforcement organizations, according to the Association.
McDonnell has won more than 49 percent of the vote, but didn't have the 50 percent needed in counts thus far to avoid a runoff for sheriff.
"What our Department needs most, and what the chief is uniquely qualified to do, is to begin restoring the public's confidence in our ability to provide the very best public safety services for Los Angeles County," Association President Jeff Steck said.

Instagram Photography App
Instagram on the iPod Touch or iPhone is simply brilliant! We're fanatics of all the photography apps on OS devices and this one really is proving to be one of our favorites!
Here, below is how the initial view of the Instagram App begins. It's called the 'Feed' view and resembles, in my opinion, Twitter, but is with photographs. Here it is possible to view the live stream of photographs people are taking. Of course, just like Twitter, you have to begin to 'follow' a particular person/photographer before anything appears here in this feed area.
If you happen to see a photo that you like, double-tap that photo and you've 'liked it'. Alternatively, you can click the 'like' button down below the image or can even leave a comment. Tweeting this image or any of your own images is possible as well. Sharing images on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Posterous or Tumblr is also possible as well as just emailing an image.
From this view, there are also a 'Popular', 'Share', 'News' and 'Profile' menu items to navigate elsewhere in the App. They are fairly intuitive and easy to figure out what each of them lead to. Popular leads to a live stream of 'popular' images being taken at the time, based on number of likes or so it seems? Share allows you to share you own photos, either from your built-in camera or photo library. News, shows which people liked or commented on your shared photos. Profile allows you to edit your profile settings, etc.
Below is how the 'News' section appears. It is split into 'Following' and 'You', where you can see which people liked or commented on your images you've shared or view what photos others are liking or commenting on.
When you are ready to share your images, this is how things begin. You first have to crop your image to a square, which is the accepted format of image within Instagram. Then you can move and scale the image within that square.
Next, you can select what type of frame and photographic effect you'd like to apply to your image. I've chosen below the 'Earlybird' setting which warms up the image and puts an old-fashioned cloth-like, rounded-edge frame around the image.
Furthermore, you can add a soft, blurred effect to your image quite easily. You can choose either a circular or vertical pattern to the soft focus effect, which adds even more of a 'vintage' feel to your images.
As a photography enthusiast, I would highly recommend this app. In facet, I've met a few fellow photographers on what's called 'Instawalks' and there's nothing better than meeting like-minded people who also have a passion and love for the photographic medium as an art form.

31st March 2017
First year Extended Diploma Musical Theatre students at York College are performing 'The Matchgirls', a musical by Bill Owen and Tony Russell, based on events around the London Matchgirls' strike of 1888.
The story tells of the appalling working conditions at the Bryant & May factory in Bow, where workers suffered from 'Phossy Jaw' (due to the white phosphorus from matches rotting their jaws away) and the ultimate rebellion of the women workers who railed against their working rights.
Featuring female factory workers living in shabby tenements, where the main character Kate (played by Lauren Gray and Hannah McClarron) turns into a reckless strike-leader, there's also a sub-plot about her complicated courtship with docker Joe (played by Thomas McGovern). As the story unfolds, Liberal reformer Annie Besant (played by Morgan Handley and Katie Wilkinson) champions the strikers, playing a vital part in bringing about the workers' ultimate victory over the callous management.
Lauren Gray, aged 16 (formerly of Rodillian School, Wakefield) who plays the joint-lead role of Kate says: "The role has been really interesting to play and I've actually learnt a lot about the historical and feminist issues of the time. The first year of this course has been amazingly good fun. Each day I have been doing what I love; singing, acting and dancing. I am excited to study musical theatre at a top drama school when I leave College, hopefully at the Guildford School of Acting."
Thomas McGovern, aged 17 (formerly of Northallerton College) has fully embraced the male lead character of Joe, saying: "This role brought me out of my shell. I have enjoyed performing ever since primary school and I think this role has done wonders for my confidence." Thomas intends to progress to East 15 to study stage combat on leaving the College next year.
Performances of The Matchgirls are at the College's Alan Ayckbourn Theatre on Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th April (2.00pm and 7.00pm). Tickets: £5.00 and £4.00 available from the York College Box Office, tel: 01904 770492

Linus Benedict Torvalds (/ˈlaɪnəsˈtɔrvɔːldz/;[5] Swedish: [ˈliːn.ɵs ˈtuːr.valds] (13px listen); born December 28, 1969) is a Finnish American[2][6] software engineer, who was the principal force behind the development of the Linux kernel that became the most popular kernel for operating systems. He later became the chief architect of the Linux kernel and now acts as the project's coordinator. He also created the distributed revision control system git. He was honored, along with Shinya Yamanaka, with the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland "in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel".[7] He is also the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award.[8]

Early years
Torvalds was born in Helsinki, Finland. He is the son of journalists Anna and Nils Torvalds,[9] and the grandson of statistician Leo Törnqvist and of poet Ole Torvalds. Both of his parents were campus radicals at the University of Helsinki in the 1960s. His family belongs to the Swedish-speaking minority. Torvalds was named after Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize–winning American chemist, although in the book Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution, Torvalds is quoted as saying, "I think I was named equally for Linus the Peanuts cartoon character", noting that this makes him half "Nobel Prize–winning chemist" and half "blanket-carrying cartoon character".[10]
Torvalds attended the University of Helsinki between 1988 and 1996,[citation needed][11] graduating with a master's degree in computer science from NODES research group.[12] His academic career was interrupted after his first year of study when he joined the Finnish Army Uusimaa brigade, in the summer of 1989, selecting the 11-month officer training program to fulfill the mandatory military service of Finland. In the army he held the rank of second lieutenant, with the role of a ballistic calculation officer.[13] Torvalds bought computer science professor Andrew Tanenbaum's book Operating Systems: Design and Implementation, in which Tanenbaum describes MINIX, an educational stripped-down version of Unix. The book changed Torvalds life: he was fascinated by the clear structure of the Unix and its underlying philosophy. In 1990, he resumed his university studies, and was exposed to UNIX for the first time, in the form of a DEC MicroVAX running ULTRIX.[14] His M.Sc. thesis was titled Linux: A Portable Operating System.[15]
His interest in computers began with a Commodore VIC-20,[16] at the age of 11 in 1981, initially programming in BASIC – and later in assembly language. After the VIC-20 he purchased a Sinclair QL, which he modified extensively, especially its operating system. "Because it was so hard to get software for it in Finland, Linus wrote his own assembler and editor (in addition to Pac-Man graphics libraries)"[17] for the QL, as well as a few games.[18][19] He is known to have written a Pac-Man clone named Cool Man. On January 5, 1991[20] he purchased an Intel 80386-based clone of IBM PC[21] before receiving his MINIX copy, which in turn enabled him to begin work on Linux. The first prototypes of Linux were publicly released later that year.[10][22] Version 1.0 was released on March 14, 1994.[23]
Torvalds first encountered the GNU Project in 1991, after another Swedish computer science student Lars Wirzenius took him to the University of Technology to listen to free software-guru Richard Stallman's speech. Torvalds used Stallman's General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) for his Linux kernel, that is his preferred license (also later used in his revision control system git as well as the diving log software Subsurface) and wrote its (first version) source code (but compiled with Stallman's GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) compiler) from scratch (and has not upgraded to GPLv3).
Later years
After a visit to Transmeta in late 1996,[4] Torvalds accepted a position at the company in California, where he would work from February 1997 until June 2003. He then moved to the Open Source Development Labs, which has since merged with the Free Standards Group to become the Linux Foundation, under whose auspices he continues to work. In June 2004, Torvalds and his family moved to Dunthorpe, Oregon,[1] to be closer to the OSDL's Beaverton, Oregon–based headquarters.
From 1997 to 1999, he was involved in 86open helping to choose the standard binary format for Linux and Unix. In 1999 he was named by the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the world's top 100 innovators under age 35.[24]
In 1999, Red Hat and VA Linux, both leading developers of Linux-based software, presented Torvalds with stock options in gratitude for his creation.[25] That same year both companies went public and Torvalds's share value temporarily shot up to roughly $20 million.[26][27]
His personal mascot is a penguin nicknamed Tux,[28] which has been widely adopted by the Linux community as the mascot of the Linux kernel.[29]
Although Torvalds believes "open source is the only right way to do software", he also has said that he uses the "best tool for the job", even if that includes proprietary software.[30] He was criticized for his use and alleged advocacy of the proprietary BitKeeper software for version control in the Linux kernel. Torvalds subsequently wrote a free-software replacement for BitKeeper called git.
In 2008, Torvalds stated that he used the Fedora distribution of Linux because it had fairly good support for the PowerPC processor architecture, which he had favoured at the time.[31] His usage of Fedora was confirmed in a later 2012 interview.[32]
Currently, the Linux Foundation sponsors Torvalds so he can work full-time on improving Linux.[33]
The Linus/Linux connection
Initially, Torvalds wanted to call the kernel he developed Freax (a combination of "free", "freak", and the letter X to indicate that it is a Unix-like system), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was first hosted for download, named Torvalds's directory linux.[34]
Authority and trademark
As of 2006, approximately two percent of the Linux kernel was written by Torvalds himself.[27] Because thousands have contributed to the Linux kernel, this percentage is one of the largest contributions to it. However, he stated in 2012 that his own personal contribution is mostly merging code written by others, with little programming.[35] Torvalds retains the highest authority to decide which new code is incorporated into the standard Linux kernel.[36]
Torvalds owns the "Linux" trademark and monitors the use of it,[37] chiefly through the Linux Mark Institute.
Personal life
Linus Torvalds is married to Tove Torvalds (née Monni)—a six-time Finnish national karate champion—whom he first met in the autumn of 1993.[38] Linus was running introductory computer laboratory exercises for students and instructed the course attendees to send him an e-mail as a test, to which Tove responded with an e-mail asking for a date.[10] Tove and Linus were later married and have three daughters, Patricia Miranda (born 1996), Daniela Yolanda (born 1998), and Celeste Amanda (born 2000),[39] two of whom were born in the United States.[6] The Linux kernel's reboot system call accepts their dates of birth (written in hexadecimal) as magic values.[40][41]
Torvalds describes himself as "completely a-religious—atheist", adding that "I find that people seem to think religion brings morals and appreciation of nature. I actually think it detracts from both. It gives people the excuse to say, 'Oh, nature was just created,' and so the act of creation is seen to be something miraculous. I appreciate the fact that, 'Wow, it's incredible that something like this could have happened in the first place.'" He later added that while in Europe religion is mostly a personal issue, in America it has become very politicized. When discussing the issue of church and state separation, Torvalds also said, "Yeah, it's kind of ironic that in many European countries, there is actually a kind of legal binding between the state and the state religion."[42]
In 2010, Torvalds became a United States citizen and registered to vote in the United States. He is unaffiliated with any U.S. political party, saying, "I have way too much personal pride to want to be associated with any of them, quite frankly."[6]
IEEE Computer Pioneer Award
On April 23, 2014, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers named Torvalds as the 2014 recipient of the IEEE Computer Society's Computer Pioneer Award. The Computer Pioneer Award was established in 1981 by the IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors to recognize and honor the vision of those whose efforts resulted in the creation and continued vitality of the computer industry. The award is presented to outstanding individuals whose main contribution to the concepts and development of the computer field was made at least 15 years earlier.[43]
Internet Hall of Fame
On April 23, 2012, at Internet Society's Global INET conference in Geneva, Switzerland, Torvalds was one of the inaugural inductees into the Internet Hall of Fame, one of ten in the Innovators category and thirty-three overall inductees.[44]
Millennium Technology Prize
On April 20, 2012, Torvalds was declared one of two winners of that year's Millennium Technology Prize,[45] along with Shinya Yamanaka.[46] The honor is widely described as technology's equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
In 1997, Torvalds received his Master degree (Laudatur Grade) from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki. Two years later he received honorary doctor status at Stockholm University, and in 2000 he received the same honor from his alma mater.[47] University of Helsinki has named an auditorium after Torvalds and his computer is on display at the Department of Computer Science.
In August 2005, Torvalds received the Vollum Award from Reed College.[48]
In 1998, Torvalds received an EFF Pioneer Award.[49] In 2000 he was awarded the Lovelace Medal from the British Computer Society.[50] In 2001, he shared the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Well-Being with Richard Stallman and Ken Sakamura. In 2008, he was inducted into the Hall of Fellows of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, "for the creation of the Linux kernel and the management of open source development of the widely used Linux operating system."[51][52] He was awarded the C&C Prize by the NEC Corporation in 2010 for "contributions to the advancement of the information technology industry, education, research, and the improvement of our lives".[53]
Time magazine has recognized Torvalds multiple times:
- In 2000, he was 17th in their Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century Poll.[54]
- In 2004, he was named one of the most influential people in the world.[55]
- In 2006, the magazine's Europe edition named him one of the revolutionary heroes of the past 60 years.[25]
InfoWorld presented him with the 2000 Award for Industry Achievement.[56] In 2005 Torvalds appeared as one of "the best managers" in a survey by BusinessWeek.[57] In 2006, Business 2.0 magazine named him one of "10 people who don't matter" because the growth of Linux has shrunk Torvalds's individual impact.[58]
In summer 2004, viewers of YLE (the Finnish Broadcasting Company) placed Torvalds 16th in the network's 100 Greatest Finns. In 2010, as part of a series called The Britannica Guide to the World's Most Influential People, Torvalds was listed among The 100 Most Influential Inventors of All Time (ISBN 9781615300037).[59]
In 1996, the asteroid 9793 Torvalds was named after him. In 2003, the naming of an asteroid moon (Linus) was motivated in part by the fact that the discoverer was an enthusiastic Linux user.
As of March 2011, Torvalds has been granted 35 patents worldwide (application and granted patents).[60]
Desktop environment criticism
In 2005, on the official GNOME developmental mailing lists, Torvalds encouraged users to switch to K Desktop Environment 3 rather than use GNOME.[61][62] However, Torvalds thought KDE Plasma Desktop 4.0 was a "disaster" because of its lack of maturity, and so he had switched to GNOME by 2009.[63] Dissatisfied with his perceived loss of productivity, he switched to Xfce after the GNOME 3 release, making another harsh post against GNOME.[64] After improved KDE versions were made, he switched back to KDE Plasma Desktop 4[65] but soon switched back to GNOME 3 stating that "it has been getting less painful"[66] with Frippery and gnome-tweak-tool which he suggested to be merged into GNOME.[67]
Possible NSA approachIn September 2013, Torvalds was asked at the LinuxCon conference whether he had been approached by a US government agency to add backdoors into Linux; he responded with a verbal "no" while nodding his head "yes".[68] He later stated that it was obviously a joke.[69] However, Linus's father Nils states:
When my oldest son [Linus Torvalds] was asked the same question: "Has he been approached by the NSA about backdoors?" he said "No", but at the same time he nodded. Then he was sort of in the legal free. He had given the right answer, [but] everybody understood that the NSA had approached him.—Nils Torvalds, LIBE Committee Inquiry on Electronic Mass Surveillance of EU Citizens - 11th Hearing, 11 November 2013.[68][70][71]

Case Studies, Publications & Project Outputs
This page hosts various the following reports, publications and knowledge summaries produced by the MBE KTN as well as public reports related to the Climate Change Adaptation theme. Please note that most of the documents below are only available to members of this group.
Carbon Sequestration by Soils: In any development that involves crushing concrete to generate secondary aggregates, the crusher fines can be incorporated into soils to provide a passive carbon capture function for landscaping and open spaces. Concrete fines thus have the potential to sequester carbon, helping to combat global warming.
CoolVault thermal ceiling blocks: Thermal ceiling blocks from Ibstock are designed to add thermal mass to a building so that the internal temperature can be regulated more effectively.
Passive Heating and Cooling - Braunstone Health and Social Care Centre: The Braunstone Health and Social Centre uses several novel and innovative concepts including an underground concrete labyrinth, a concept based on the hypocaust principles, used by the Romans in their villas in Northern Europe.
Remote Assessment of Earthwork Stability in Transport Corridor Environments : Road and rail networks earthwork structures such as embankments, account for a large proportion of the infrastructure which underpins these resources. However, embankments can be susceptible to slope failure and monitoring and doing condition appraisals are costly and inefficient. High resolution geospatial databases may have the potential to offer a remote and cost-effective solution to risk assessment.
RFID Carbon Footprinting and Building Zones: RFID tokens to monitor space usage and calculate personal carbon footprints: This case study from Building Zones explains how active RFID tokens are being used in a pilot project at a Royal Bank of Scotland data centre to build a carbon footprint dashboard and to understand how different spaces on an office floor are actually used in practice.
Simple Solutions to Counter the Urban Heat Island Effect: Small variations in urban design can affect significantly the local heat island intensity, and in turn, indoor comfort. Researchers at Brunel University have proved the significant benefits that can be gained from simple, cost-effective interventions.
The Floating Doorstep: This product is a technological breakthrough. By automatically preventing floodwater from entering doorways, it signposts the way to flood proofing (sealing) the entire building from floodwater ingress through lower walls and floors caused by hydrostatic pressure thus making the building itself an integral part of the flood defence.
The Floodstacker: This is a new UK invention which provides automatic flood protection by vacuum and is intended to provide defence from flooding river banks, tidal, small-scale pluvial flooding, or as protection for low lying estates or shopping malls. Such a system has the potential to protect cities such as New Orleans. The Floodstacker functions by using the energy of the flood to repel itself.
Design for Future Climate Change Project Outputs - this competition was set up to fund the development of strategies to adapt UK buildings to the changing climate. All members of this group could access final project reports and reference materials.
Knowledge Summary - Challenges for thermal management in a changing climate There is compelling scientific evidence that our collective fossil fuel production and consumption patterns are causing the world's climate to change. Global climate change resulting from increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, is a scientifically accepted phenomenon with impacts being felt in all regions of the world.
Knowledge Summary - Challenges for water management in a changing climate There is a twin track approach to the management of climate, with the reduction of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide through mitigation measures and managing the consequences of climate change through adaptation measures (RIBA, 2009). Buildings account for nearly half of the UK's carbon emissions and
provide opportunities for both mitigation and adaptation.
Building a low-carbon economy: the UK's contribution to tackling climate change
This is the first report from the Committee on Climate Change, December 2008. This report explains why the UK should aim to fulfil the global deal for an 80 per cent reduction by 2050 and how that is attainable. This Report therefore sets out alternative ways in which emission reductions could be achieved, and assesses whether there are reasonable scenarios in which different combinations of actions would deliver the required emission reductions path. The analysis clearly shows that the required reduction path is feasible.
Planning Policy Statement 1: Delivering Sustainable Development
Planning shapes the places where people live and work and the country we live in. Planning Policy Statements (PPS) set out the Government's national policies on different aspects of land use planning in England. It plays a key role in supporting the Government's wider social, environmental and economic objectives and for sustainable communities.
Planning Policy Statement: Planning and Climate Change - Supplement to Planning Policy Statement 1
This supplement to Planning Policy Statement 1 sets out the overarching planning policies on the delivery of sustainable development. It sets out how planning should contribute to reducing emissions and stabilising climate change and take into account the unavoidable consequences.
Engineering and Physical Science Research Council - UK Climate Impacts Programme
Building Knowledge for a Changing Climate: Collaborative research to understand and adapt to the impacts of climate change on the built environment, infrastructure and utilities.
The Pitt Review: The lessons learned from the 2007 floods
This is an independent, thorough review of the flooding emergency that took place in 2007. It discusses what happened, what to do differently, lessons learned and where change is needed. It includes the views shared from over 1,000 professionals from relevant fields and in-depth discussions with key organisations.
Your Home in a Changing Climate-Retrofitting Existing Homes for climate Change Impacts
Three Regions Climate Change Group (London, the East and the South East of England) reports on a study showing that it is possible and cost effective to increase the resilience of the existing housing stock. Mitigation and adaptation measures can be successfully integrated to reduce CO2.
Public Space Lessons - adapting public space to climate change
This CABE Space briefing sets out lessons learned both in the UK and around the world from using public spaces to help adapt to the climate crisis. This publication also includes case studies and a checklist.
Adapting to Climate Change in England: A Framework for Action
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing society today – both for the international community and the UK. The debate about the causes is over: we now know that the planet has warmed largely due to human activity.
Flood: Engineering Resilience - Institution of Civil Engineers Report 2008
This outlines the strategic views of the ICE on flood risk management. It makes recommendations to improve infrastructure, to deal with future flood risks, to improve the coordination of planning and funding of flood risk management activities, and to improve the speed and quality of emergency response to major events.
UK Climate Change Programme Annual Report to Parliament July 2008
This Report sets out in more detail what we have done and looks forward to what needs to be done over the coming year. The introduction of carbon budgets (result of the Climate Change Bill) will help tackle climate change and ensure that we are on the right track to meeting our 2050 target.
Water UK Lesson Learned Flood Report: Phase 2 - Long-term issue
Water UK's report on more long-term topics that arose in analysis of the floods. The primary learning points and recommendations from this report concern climate change and the uncertainties of weather; protecting water industry services from disruption and from flooding; and improving drainage and surface water management.
Water UK Lesson Learned Flood Report: Phase 2 - Executive Summary
The Review Group on Flooding has now completed its work and recommends that the Water UK Flooding Implementation Group set up in response to the Phase 1 report, assumes responsibility for the implementation of recommendations and conclusions on behalf of the water industry.
Knowledge Summary - Water Efficiency in UK Housing
This Water Efficiency in UK Housing Knowledge Summary outlines the importance of domestic water efficiency for tackling the current and projected water scarcity problems throughout the UK. It details the major environmental, social, technological and regulatory drivers and barriers to improved water efficiency. This report has been produced by BRE Global in conjunction with the MBE KTN.
Briefing Report - Flood Risk Management
This report discusses some consultations and reviews (including the Pitt Review) undertaken by government and other regulatory organisations. Developments in science, technology, planning and engineering have been recognised as an integral part of flood risk management.

superintendents share surprises about their roles
Lessons in Leadership: 4 superintendents share the biggest surprises about their roles
Roger Riddell@EdDiveRoger Nov. 13, 2018
Navigating politics and learning to let go of past responsibilities were among the most unexpected aspects of their positions
Richard Carranza — Chancellor, New York City Department of Education
I've been principal in two different schools in two different states, so my heart's really in the classroom, in the schools themselves. But it's important that if anybody's going to become a superintendent, you realize that you also have a good array of political issues that you're going to have to deal with, [from] elected officials [and] individuals that are not elected but have considerable political clout and could affect the initiatives or agenda that you have.
Suzanne Lacey — Superintendent, Talladega County Schools
a thing I struggled with the most was just letting go of the jobs that I had done before.
Glenn Robbins — Superintendent, Tabernacle Township School District
"No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else." An organization is either run by visionaries or operators. Which are you?
Leadership is a privilege. Serve others each day with a positive attitude. How strong are your relationships with not only your board of education and administrative team, but also the teachers association? Relationships and communication are first. Everything else comes second.
Stay true to the district's goals and values. Remember to embrace the infinite game, and not chase the external finite game. Focus within, not external. Coach, mentor, support and challenge. Be the leader that creates more leaders, not produces more soldiers.

ViaSat deal brings Exede satellite Internet to DirecTV
Carlsbad satellite communications firm ViaSat has inked a distribution deal with DirecTV for ViaSat's Exede high-speed Internet service.
Adding DirecTV could be an important distribution channel for ViaSat in the wake of increased competition from a new HughesNet high-speed Internet satellite, which began service last month.
The move paves the way for DirecTV to bundle its satellite TV with Exede Internet service. Exede offers download speeds significantly faster than previous generations of satellite Internet. And ViaSat claims Exede's 12 megabits per second performance rivals cable and often beats telephone DSL.
"This agreement benefits both Exede Internet and DirecTV customers by providing one-stop shopping for customers looking to access high-speed broadband and a video package with more than 170 HD video channels," said Lisa Scalpone, vice president of sales, marketing and business development for ViaSat
ViaSat launched a new high-capacity satellite, ViaSat 1, in October to power Exede. The service rolled out in March. As of the end of September, the company had 429,000 Internet subscribers – with about 150,000 using the ViaSat 1 satellite and the remainder on older satellites.
ViaSat also works with Dish Network of bundle Exede to its subscribers. But Dish Network is a technology partner of satellite operator EchoStar, which owns HughesNet. Analysts have wondered whether Dish will de-emphasize Exede now that HughesNet's high-speed Internet satellite is up and running.
ViaSat executives have said that they believe Dish will continue to sell Exede, having not heard otherwise from the company. They also believe there is enough demand for high-speed Internet among rural and under-served households for both Internet satellites to succeed.
ViaSat's shares ended trading Friday up 30 cents at $35.95 on the Nasdaq exchange.

Take the Pre-Owned Certified Route When Purchasing Your Next Car
When you know you're ready to purchase a vehicle but can't buy new due to budgetary restrictions, looking into a certified pre-owned vehicle is always an excellent idea. Lithia Chrysler Jeep of Reno proudly offers a Certified Pre-Owned program that includes an impressive inventory of CPO Chrysler, Jeep Dodge and Ram models, all of which you'd probably never recognize as previously owned.
Purchasing a certified pre-owned vehicle is better than simply purchasing a used vehicle because these vehicles must meet much higher standards before they're accepted into our program. We only want the absolute highest quality models for our customers throughout the Reno, Carson City, Sparks, and Auburn areas.
Each car, truck, crossover or SUV that we accept into our CPO program must pass a rigorous inspection beforehand, ensuring that its mileage and functionality are acceptable. Our CPO vehicles both look and run just like new, so you and your loved ones get the luxury of driving a seemingly brand new vehicle for a lower cost that can't be beat.
We also offer other great services like the assistance of our friendly and knowledgeable finance center, which will help you devise the best budgeting solution for your purchase as well as an onsite service center who is here to help you out with anything from general service to more critical auto body work.
Make the wise move and take the certified pre-owned route when you make your next purchase. Stop by our dealership, here in Reno, and our team will show you around our inventory and help you select the right model for your driving wants and needs today.
If you cannot find your ideal vehicle in our current pre-owned inventory, simply fill out a CarFinder request form. We'll begin the search process for you and send you a notification when a matching vehicle arrives in our inventory. It's that simple!

VICTORIA — Sierra Club BC, represented by lawyers from Ecojustice, has called for the termination of the Site C dam project in its submission to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC).
The group argues that the enormous cost of Site C locks B.C. into major financial obligations that hinder its ability to invest in lower impact, lower cost, jobs intensive renewable energy development that serves communities across the province much better in the long term.
"By continuing to lock B.C. into this outrageously expensive dam that we don't need, BC Hydro is leaving taxpayers and ratepayers on the hook for huge cost overruns," said Sierra Club BC's Peace Valley Campaigner Galen Armstrong. "The material we've reviewed shows British Columbians are likely to face alarming increases to hydro rates."
Sierra Club BC argues that available evidence, viewed in light of the BCUC's Terms of Reference and B.C.'s Clean Energy Act, leads to a conclusion that Site C should be terminated. The group's submission suggests:
"We've known for years that Site C is not in the public interest and represents bad long term planning. It will inflict unnecessary pain on household budgets when the alternatives could provide similar or even greater benefits at a far cheaper cost," said Armstrong.
Sierra Club BC also raised concerns that Site C energy would not reduce B.C.'s GHG emissions and in fact may be used to support GHG-intensive industries such as mining, oil and LNG.
"This dam represents 1950s thinking when we should be investing in innovative twenty-first century technologies like wind, solar and geothermal energy. These industries create better long term jobs at a third of the cost of Site C, with the benefits felt in communities across the province. Continued investment in Site C will leave B.C. poorer because we won't be investing in clean energy innovation for communities."
"While we're happy the B.C. government has initiated this review, we worry that the shortened process will still not provide the fulsome review that's necessary," said Karen Campbell, Ecojustice lawyer. "If the government truly wants to get it right and act in the best interest of British Columbians, it needs to allow the BCUC to extend the process in order to test evidence and permit parties to ask questions of BC Hydro."
"This review gives the Commission the chance to protect the public from this unnecessary project by fully evaluating how Site C will impact B.C.'s long term energy future. We hope the Commission takes advantage of this escape hatch," said Campbell.
"Regardless of the final outcome of the BCUC review, this project should be cancelled because of numerous factors, including the threat to prime farmland and the violation of First Nations' treaty rights," said Armstrong. "Just last week, the UN's top anti-racism body strongly condemned Site C. If the current government is serious about its commitment to UNDRIP, the answer is clear: Site C must be cancelled. Cabinet must take these factors into account when it makes its final decision."
