Looked online and found an equinox. After going to 2 or 3 dealerships and getting strung along this was by far the best experience we had. No games simple and fast. :)
We stopped by dealership looking for my son's first truck they didn't have what we were looking for at the time but we gave Cedric our number and a couple days later he found the perfect truck we made the deal in less than 30 mins we were done.
Had a positive buying experience from a previous purchase. Cedric was very knowledgeable about the car during and after the test drive. And got a really good deal on a really good car.
The high rating was based on the experience of purchasing a new vehicle, they were kind courteous informed not rude not pushy. The salesperson was highly informed about his inventory and was helpful in helping make a decision on the vehicle that best met my need
Cedric was professional, but very friendly. He didn't know everything, but could answer my questions to the best of his knowledge and ask another coworker if need be, very admirable. He was extremely helpful and generous, able to buff out some of the scratches on the drivers side and even got us a tank of gas! Made sure to wash our car before sending us on our way. Bill was very kind and courteous seeing that we had our sleeping newborn with us. He was extremely helpful with all the information he gave me and was able to strike up a great deal for me and my growing family. He did an amazing job with getting us a deal on our warranty. And love the fact that he's a veteran!
The staff was accommodating as this purchase was spur of the moment. There was no haggling or trying to pressure myself or my wife into a purchase. The manager was willing to hold the car for us as we made our way from out of state to test, then purchase a used vehicle.
Started online then a few texts came in test drove the truck and done. Fastest vehicle purchase I have ever had. Thanks for getting me out so fast
It was easy to do deal. Took a very short time. Everyone we met was very professional and polite. They were also very courteous. I highly recommend them.
I haven't had the opportunity to drive my new car, but I have driven in it. I love it. You made my Christmas an awesome one this year. I'm positive that I'm going to enjoy driving my new Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Thank you for all you did to make this possible. Merry Christmas Basilia Wesby
I applied for financing online before I actually test drove the car. It was a simple and easy process. We had a wonderful salesman… Cedric is awesome! My husband had back surgery and they were very accommodating! It was a really good experience and I would highly recommend!
Salesman Cedric was great. From the very beginning there was no pressure. I was very impressed that he knew this car so well and took the time to show me the features. I would recommend him to everyone.
Everyone was extremely friendly, easy to talk to, and understanding. Makes for a big difference for someone to stay and actually finish buying a vehicle at a dealership. Not pushy at all, and highly recommend buying from this dealership.
I have bought 2 vehicles from Chris Nikel. Both good experiences. This time they really went above and beyond to help me. I had no vehicle to get to the dealership and they made it work. Got me into exactly what I asked for asap. Matt Loveless and Cedric Janes thank you so much.
This dealership gave me the best possible deal and that's what I was needing. Go ahead and call them up and you'll be happy.
Cedric was very informative and easy to talk to. He answered all of my questions that I had. Paperwork was very easy and no hidden fees at all. We will definitely be using Chris Nikel again
We couldn't believe that the truck we were looking for was here with all the features and at a great price! We had to call and ask what was wrong with it before we looked at it because we just couldn't believe it. They made the process so easy to test drive and gave us time to decide. I've spent hours in other dealerships and this was so quick. Thank you guys at Chris Nikel!!
From start to finish, each person that I dealt with treated me with such professionalism.. My every need was met and exceeded.. I felt safe, I felt like they listened to what I wanted and found the perfect vehicle just for me.. I will be referring everyone and anyone who needs a vehicle in the future to come do business with this outstanding car dealership!!!!
The Sales and finance process was professional and easy. Our salesman was awesome. Cedric was helpful without being pushy. I will make my next car purchase there also.
Cedric was so nice, and answered all my questions! He was very easy to talk to, and communicated what was going on every step of the way!
Cedric was our salesman and was very helpful going over all our questions! Brandon also worked hard to get us a great deal and finance person Aaron also did a great job! Couldn't be happier with our experience, it was simply a pleasure from start to finish. Highly recommend and great job team!
The salesman and staff were great to work with. They went out of their way to help make the experience easier on our 3 year old, and worked with us to get us a great deal on our new car. Cedric, our salesman, was easy going and we didn't feel pressured to buy. Matt, our finance guy, worked out a great deal and got us an upgraded warranty package from what Cedric recommended. Overall a great buying experience from start to finish.
I did my research before coming in and knew the car I wanted. Chris Nikel had the best price ahead of other similar models I had been watching. When I came to see it, they didn't switch or try to sell me on anything else. I got exactly what I asked for without any pushing for something different.
Cedric was very professional, honest, friendly and helpful throughout the buying process. I would highly recommend asking for him. And I love my Pacifica! It's a smooth ride and provides the space my family needs.
I couldn't be thankful for the staff at Chris Nikel! Cedric in sales and Sonny have worked with me to make sure to get me the payment I need and something I love and can stay in awhile!! Fish in financing help me so much as well with my making sure I had the right warranty and no pressure with it and just not trying to make money off of me. This is my second car I have purchased and couldn't be more happy!! It's hard to find a good dealership that are focused on you and not just the SALE!! Thank you again. 💞
We tried two other dealers that would not communicate with us. Your online and sales department was very prompt and easy to work with and not pushy. It was a very different experience than what we got from other dealers
I am very pleased with the service I received from my sales person Cedric and finance person Bill. They made car buying simple, easy, and pressure free. I like the price is inclusive of the fees and they have upfront pricing. I left another dealership due to the fact of a pressure sale and constant haggling over price, and came here, and I am so glad I did.
We had a great experience buying our vehicle. The process was smooth going, real and didn't take super long. I would recommend Chris Nikel.
Cedric did a great job with us. Was honest and straightforward. Matt Loveless made the paperwork and financial process quick and easy. We will definitely be back!
I had a wonderful experience. Cedick my sales man is kind,knowledgeable, and not pushy at all. I have been looking for a while and have experienced several dealerships and Chris Nikel is the onky dealship where I felt in control. Thank you Matt Loveless for working out my purchase. I will recommend Chris Nikel and be a return customer. Thank you.
Very friendly and helpful place would recommend everyone to come here and get your next vehicle I was in and out in no time and I'm not a very patient person but I love this place
Cedric, was very great, helpful and knowledgeable! Would recommend him to anyone! He was not pushy and gave us time to look we came in for a Jeep and left with a alpha rameo!!!
Cedric and Bill made my car buying experience smooth, with little to no stress! I would highly recommend my family and friends to use this dealership for their next car purchase.
Salesperson, and sales manager were fantastic to deal with, they were not pushy and were very helpful. i would recommend this dealership to anyone I know!
Was impressed with my overall experience. Cedric was easy going and friendly made a typically uncomfortable experience easy going & straight forward. I was also very impressed with Aaron who helped with my financing paperwork. Got me in and out while thoroughly answering all of my questions. Two big thumbs up 👍 👍!
Cedric was our sales person. No pressure, let us take our time and just look around. Once we decided on a car, they made it painless. We will be back for sure for our next vehicle.
We have just purchased our 4 th car fro Chris Nikel we are very happy hope to buy again I was treated great and hope to work with them for years to come
This was our second purchase in the last 7 months. Cedric Jane's is such a pleasure to work, he takes the time to answer all our so we can decide what vehicle is the best fit for us. I would recommend anyone to purchase at Chris Nikel and work with Cedric Jane's he is EXCELLENT!!
Nolan & Cedric were a great help. Everyone was very helpful throughout the process of payment as well. Very happy with my new vehicle. Soon the van will be fully wheelchair accessible.
They listened thoughtfully to my individual situation and needs. With out any pressure or feeling obligated they explained my options that fit best. Never trying to push me to spend more than I was comfortable with. I was in a position I could buy from any where, and they weren't my first stop, but it was my last. Every where else I went was completely exhausting. Here, was easy, fast and the place is ran with excellence. Cedric was amazing, going out of his way, even with the smallest details. Fish was so knowledgeable and helpful. Both were easy to talk to and not full of crap. Never telling me "just what I wanted to hear". And April is just the sweetest, kindest person I have ever met. These 3 need a raise.
We worked with Cedric and Matt and both of them were up front and kept things easy for us. We are very happy with our purchase and would definitely very highly recommend!
We were in town visiting our daughter with no intention of buying a car. But, when we saw one that had everything we wanted and less than 15,000 miles, well...Our whole experience with Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat was great! Cedric was a great salesman to work with. No BS, just awesome customer service. He listened to what we wanted and did his best to make it happen. The other salesmen were friendly and pleasant while we waited. Matt, our finance guy, was great to work with, too. Awesome experience all around. Special thanks to Cedric! We made his job harder because we weren't prepared at all to buy a car! We didn't even know if we were going to keep the car we were driving or trade it in! He was gracious and patient as we worked out the details!
I loved the no haggle, upfront prices. I got a good deal on my trade. I was treated in a friendly & professional manner. I honestly think it may be the first time I've ever left a car lot feeling like i got a good deal!
I had purchased a vehicle that gave me problems from the beginning and wasn't very pleased with the service. I went back after a couple of weeks to change it, and I couldn't have found a better person to help me than Cedric. He was very friendly and attentive to my needs and helped me to choose the right car which I love. I really like that he actually took the time to explain the car features, unlike the first salesman. He has a great attitude and gave me and excellent service!
He took care of all of my needs. Very professional. Handled the business transaction very well and he was very willing to go the extra mile.
Cedric was fun and helpful. He let me drive like 6 different cars and even let me go show my big brother all the way at his home. The lot had many cars and weere average priced!
This is my 6 car I have bought from Chris Nikel. Experience is wonderful everytime. Wonderful people to work with. I do not go anywhere else to buy my vehicles. They are always very happy to answer any questions that you have and help in any way they can.
Shopped around at a couple local dealerships near this one- salesmen were pushy and down my throat about buying and secretive about their prices. Chris Nikel was upfront about everything and offered me a fair price on my "new" ride. Sales team was friendly and respectful.
great personal service from used car, finance and service people(Cedric, Brandon, Bill and Corey). Bought a 2014 T&C van. Process was fast, easy and accommodating by your people. I'm a senior with a cane and they went out of their way for me. Thanks Cedric for orientating me about my van. Bill, thanks for the affordable financing and Chrysler warranty pkg. And Corey, you made my day getting rid of the engine light...resetting and upgrading the codes...no charge!!This is my second T&C van. 21 years ago from Quinn Chrysler. You took the trade and I used that money towards my 2014 van. Thanks again.
Under building construction, but Corey, service rep, displayed professionalism and deep concern for the customer. I am handicapped and he explained to me what the "engine light" on meant and that he would determine the faulty codes and fix the problem. I had bought the van from them a week ago. Picked up my van...everything fixed....Corey said, no charge. The used car people, finance office and CORY represented the company well
Great selection and everyone was friendly. Will definitely consider buying here again in the future. Got a great car for a great price. Nice facilities as well.
Mr Cedric Jane or James should get a pay raise!!! Very helpful and informative about my purchase...2014 town and country van Met the floor mgr, Brandon...very friendly and me a great deal on my trade-in. Credit said no doc fee...and other buyers should hear about that!! Bill, the finance guy...very helpful and explained everything about my purchase....helped me save money and a great deal on a warran
This was my second time purchasing a vehicle with Chris Nikel and I left just as pleased this time as I did the first time. Not your "typical" used car salesman. They gave me a very fair price on my trade-in both times and got me a great deal on a newer vehicle. No haggling, or runaround with these guys. It's a refreshing experience from any other dealership I've had an interaction with.
As much as they wanted before my initial payments was worrying me, but I was helped with the best payments ever!!!! If you need a car new or used come visit them, I am sure you will find what you are looking for here.
Great deal, friendly people and fast response. Cedric Janes was an excellent sales person and Matt Loveless was very helpful at the moment of the close the business
We came in earlier today and looked at the vehicle. Didn't talk to anyone really, Cedric introduced himself and was very friendly. We left and came back later that night ready to buy and Cedric was the one who greeted us again. He was very professional and very willing to work with us on everything!
Good experience with sales person and financing. It was fast and painless. They helped me pick out the vehicle I wanted to purchase and we did not have to wait long for numbers and the finance person went out of his way to help me get a good interest rate.
From my purchase (Cedric), subsequent collision repair and warranty repair (Abel), the customer service (very personable) and work was/is exceptional and professional. No pressure, easy purchase, kept informed during repair. These 2 points alone will have me buying my next car from Chris Nikel.
Hands Down, Great Experience! I was looking for a used van or SUV with reasonable mileage, and I couldn't have found a better place to shop. My salesman was Cedric. This guy knew EVERYTHING about every vehicle I looked at, and I went through the whole lot. I was blown away by the cleanliness & condition of their inventory! All the used cars had brand new tires & looked like new inside & out. Cedric knew the specs on every vehicle, demonstrated the equipment/features for us, took us on multiple test drives and really helped us find the perfect vehicle for our needs & budget. He never got annoyed with my many, many questions, and that's saying alot... I'm a very picky customer. He knew the vehicles inside & out and made comparison shopping easy. I really liked that he wasn't at all pushy, in a rush, or dismissive of my concerns. Alot of salespeople will just "BS" you or brush off your questions when they don't know what you're asking, but Cedric was the real deal. He was super smart on all the bluetooth, navigation & other advanced features. Once we decided on the right vehicle and got down to negotiating the deal, he went to bat for us and got us the very best price I could have hoped for. There were no doc fees, admin costs or other hidden expenses added to my order... the sale was straight-forward, easy to understand, & hassle-free. I couldn't be happier! I feel like I got the best deal in Tulsa. We definitely got our "Nikel's" worth, LOL!! Thanks Cedric, you'll be my first call next time I need a car!
we came in not knowing what we were looking for an we're able to leave with a great deal, a better vehicle than we expected, perfectly in payment range.
Great experience-Process was quick and efficient and everyone was so friendly and helpful! I highly recommend the awesome team at the preowned lot they are the best! Thank you Cedric for helping us find the perfect car😊
Good customer service, friendly staff, good price. We had a pleasant experience at the dealership and would recommend it to friends and family. Thank you
If you are looking for a new or used vehicle, but you are worried Cedric is you guy! I just recently purchased my second vehicle from him and he listened and answered ALL my questions!
I recently purchased a 2019 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk from here & was met by phenomenal customer care from the moment I entered the dealership. I would 10/10 recommend this to a friend
Been looking for a while. Didn't exactly know what I was going to get. Finally got a loaded 300s to match my wife's and I could not be happier. Very patient and understanding salesman. Cedrick and Dustin were both great. This makes 2 purchases in last 6 months. Prefer not shop anywhere else they took great care of us.
We knew the type of vehicle we wanted and did lots of research before we perchased one. Talk to several different dealers and even wasted my time going to one only to find out the price wasn't what was listed. This seller was upfront about everything. The bottom dollar was reached before I drove 2 1/2 hours to get it and guess what it stayed the same. I appreciate this company doing what it said it was going to do. I fully recommend them. Thank you for all your help.
After car shopping for over 3 weeks I was elated to end my search here. Mark was very helpful and extremely patient during the process. Cedric was absolutely wonderful and EXTREMELY knowledgeable . He took extra time to show me all of the features of the vehicle and how to use them. Best car buying experience I've ever had.
Every time I've gone here there is always exceptional service. This just adds on top of all the things that make Chris Nikel such a great business.
Great experience. They also had some of the best looking with best options. I bought used and it feels like new. I would recommend anytime.
Working with Cedric and the team at Chris Nikel was a smooth, efficient, and painless process. The car itself was great, but like most things, it was the customer service my wife and I appreciated the most. Nothing was pushed on us, and all options were explained clearly. I'm excited to have my new car, and will defined be back again and recommend anyone I know who is in the market for a vehicle.
Cedric was very attentive. I spoke with him on Friday evening he gave me his direct cell number. I explained to him our wants. We met next morning at 0900 and drove our new truck off the lot 1230
They were very helpful and easy to work with. It was a good first experience. I appreciate the patience I was shown from all the staff.
I knew what I was looking for when I came in. Cedric was very helpful and explained things to me very well. I enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to spend all day at the dealership.
We loved our experience with Matt! Buying a new car can be so stressful, but Matt and everyone at Chris Nikel made it such a smooth and easy process! They truly care about their customers! I could not be happier with my purchase and recommend anyone looking to buy a car to go to Chris Nikel!
This is our 3rd Jeep to buy from Chris nikel.. we purposefully Chose this dealership bc we always feel at ease and comfortable ... can't say enough about the process from our salesman to the financial advisor !!! We love our Jeeps!!
This is my 3rd vehicle purchase from Chris Nikel but first time working with Matt Causey. He exceeded the level of customer service that we have previously experienced by miles. Not only was he giving us exactly what we asked for, but he got us in our new car in record timing. Quickest process ever. Which was wonderful cause we had to get to our Christmas shopping. We love Chris Nikel and all they have to offer, including rapid oil changes and car maintenance. We really never have a reason to ever shop anywhere else for our families vehicles. Highly recommend this dealership.
By far the best car buying experience I've ever had. A big Thank You to Matt Causey for all your hard work. I wil definitely be back!!
No pressure sales experience! Looking at different vehicle types was easy and our salesman seemed to really care about finding the perfect vehicle. The day we came in to buy our Jeep- it was quick and easy.
Super friendly staff! Worked hard to get us what we wanted! Listened to my concerns and did all they could to reassure me. This is the second time we have purchased a new car from Chris Nickel and it won't be the last!
Buying our new Jeep at Chris Nikel was a great experience! Everyone there is so nice, helpful and knowledgeable. They made the whole process as smooth and painless as I think or possibly could've been. They gave us a great deal that I truly believe we wouldn't have got anywhere else. We got exactly what we wanted and couldn't have asked for a better sales team and dealership to purchase it from. We'll definitely be buying any future cars from Chris Nikel.
Matt and the sales team were awesome in our purchasing experience of our Trail Hawk! Definitely recommend purchasing here! You have earned our continued business.
Highly recommend! From our sales guys (Matt & Blue) to our Finance Guy (Aaron), we were treated with respect and kindness! I was very impressed with how they still cared AFTER we signed the papers! Such an awesome experience. We were in and out in under 2 hours!! I will be a customer for life.
Matt and the Chris Nikel Team made my experience easy and provided me with great customer service. I purchased a 1999 Jeep Wrangler from you in 2001 so I'm a repeat customer who really keeps good care of her vehicle. Thanks again!
Matt was so helpful and efficient with my car buying experience. The whole dealership was wonderful, from the beginning!! John with returning my email to follow up messages, Matt with assisting me with finding another vehicle better for my situation , with Bill in financing!! Best dealership ever!!!!! I have relocated from wv and by far this was the best experience!!! You have a customer for life!!! Thank you to the Chris Nikels family!!!!!!
We had a great experience buying our new car. The only thing I would change would be the time it takes to go through the buying process. It took 3 hours.
I could not have asked for a better experience for my first time buying a car! I test drive several vechicles at several dealership, and not once at Chris Nikel did I feel like I was being "sold to". I told Matt C exactly what I wanted and that why he showed me. He never pressured me for more or made me feel like I was just another sell to make his quota. And Matt who helped me fill out all the paper work was laughing and joking right along with us the whole time. I can't say enough how easy and fun both of the Matt's made the process! (:
From the beginning we were assisted in our search for a new to us car. We were not pressured to consider a new over a used car. When Matt learned of our desired max monthly payment, and when we were looking at a new car over a similar used car we were given pros and cons on each. This allowed me and my fiancee to make the best decision for us and Matt even advocated for the car that had the better pricepoint for us instead of just a new car over a used car. We appreciated the open, honest and easy experience that Matt delivered for our car buying experience! I have dealt with Chris Nikel on three other car purchases each of which have all been easy, open, honest, fair and above all else customer focused.
The entire experience was easy and painless! The customer service was great. Matt was knowledgeable, awesome and took really good care of us! Would highly recommend!
Matt made the experience smooth and was very helpful. He was not pushy and I felt he was willing to work for my business. I had heard good things about this dealership but getting to experience it was not hard to see why people recommend them.
Highly recommend Matt Causey in sales. Easy going, friendly personality yet answers texts and phone calls promptly. His efficiency made purchasing a car easy. Thank you.
Being 50 years old I have been fortunate enough to have been able to buy a few new cars . I enjoy looking at new cars even if I am not in the market for one., I don't like to be hassled while I look I don't like to be pushed into a sale until I am ready . After 4 dealerships in 2 days we went to Chris Nikel in broken arrow . Matt Causey met us and we explained we were just going to look around , Matt explained the no hassle sticker on the window and proceeded to allow us to wander at our own pace . We found a couple I wanted to test drive , many of the same features , engine , drivetrain, wheel base but Matt allowed us to test drive each one as we wished , another dealership after test driving 1 car stated that the engine was the same so it would drive the same so basically "No you cannot test drive a similar car " Not Matt . Matt allowed me to drive at my pace and even made suggestions as to how to get a complete feel of the car ( speed bumps ) for the suspension. I ended up test driving 6 cars , each had a little something that was not quite right . After the 6th I decided I was going to buy , we ran my credit and got a starting payment with APR, Term $0 down ect , the numbers were in my range but as we had been out of the house for many hours I asked Matt if I could see him the next day to proceed . There was no hard sell at this point and I felt very comfortable with Matt and the dealership . My family and I went to eat and we decided to go back that night . It was 8pm when we got back nobody was overjoyed or scrambling to make the sale ( again very comforting for me ) . We did the paperwork and left with the car by 840. I will advise all my friends and associates to use Matt Causey at Chris Nikel as this is without a doubt the best easiest car buying experience of my life . Simon H
i recommend chris nickel because they are up front, friendly and really helpful. they're a great team to buy from, and make you feel like family! you won't leave here unhappy!
Matt Causey made the car buying experience amazing! Before coming to Chris Nikel Jeep, I had visited another dealership. Big mistake! They made me feel like they really didn't want my business. From the get-go, my experience with Matt was 100% better. He was patient as I test drove several Jeeps. With my test drive he showed me the various capabilities of the Jeep. He thoroughly explained what the features were. He never made me feel pressured to buy, but that he genuinely wanted to me to be happy with my purchase (which I am!). When it came time to buy, he was very upfront and explained each of the fees involved. Finally, we finished our purchase with Matt Loveless in Finance. Again I felt like I was being treated with respect and honesty. No haggling, no hidden fees, no high pressure just excellent service. Finally, Matt Causey finished my purchase by introducing me to Mitch in Service, Matt even explained what type of oil I would need and Mitch would help me with my oil changes. Since graduating college, this was my first major purchase. The whole team at Chris Nikel, especially Matt Causey made my car buying experience AMAZING!! I will definitely be recommending Matt Causey and Chris Nikel to my friends.
Great experience. Wonderful to work with. Did what they could to get everything done for me to be able to get into my new car.
We had a great experience at Chris Nikel. Our salesman Matt was great! Personable, friendly, no pressure to buy and took his time with us checking out several different vehicles until we were happy. This makes our third purchase from here and will def be back.
Matt Causey was very knowledgeable about vehicles available on the lot to meet our needs. The test drive was good and explanation after purchase was thorough and helpful. The dealership was straight forward about pricing and no hidden document fees or anything. Erin in the finance department was helpful and made that part of the experience go very smoothly as well.
Everyone at Chris Nickel was exceptional! Matt made this car buying experience the best. I have never trusted a salesman, but Matt wasn't the least bit pushy or salesy. I had 100% confidence that he would not lead me astray and he definitely didn't! Aaron made sure I understood everything as far as the price and warranty and I was confident that no one was trying to pull a fast one on me! I'm loving my new car and I will be referring everyone that I know to go to Chris Nickel! Thank you guys for everything!
Everyone made purchasing my first car an easy and exciting experience. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend this dealership to anyone looking to purchase a car.
Matt went above and beyond spending time finding us the right vehicle. He was a pleasure to work with. My wife loves her new Jeep thanks Matt!!! We have been customers for a long time and will continue comming back.
We looked at the same car in black at Jim Glover in Owasso. We walked in knowing where the payments should be and after almost 3 hours of going negotiating and half a day of text messages they came down to where the payments should have been to start with. That day we walked into Chris Nikel and in 2 hours we had the paperwork signed and I was driving off in my new Charger. Very helpful and friendly team. Thank you for doing business the way it should be!
After searching multiple dealerships for what we were looking for Chris Nikel is where we landed and the price was right! They got us in a car very affordably and it is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Chris Nikel!
Was pretty specific on what I wanted and between Matt and Cameron they made that happen! I HATE the car buying process...my experience is HOURS waiting, filing out paperwork! That was not the case! I had a great buying experience. So from the no hassle shopping to fast and easy buying process...this was a A+ experience!!
The entire process was a breeze. Was worth the drive to Tulsa, OK. No games or gimics. Everything was transparent and straightforward. Highly recommend Matt Causey @ Chris Nikel Chrysler!!!
Our salesman, Matt Causey, was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind during our entire time shopping at Chris Nikel. Professional place and professional people. If you're buying a car, this is the place to do it and he's the man to talk to.
This is the second car I bought with Chris Nikels I will not go any place else. I love the care the give. The sales team work hard to please. Very friendly!
Did not feel pressured to buy,had time to discuss and ask questions about vehicle before purchasing. Salesman Matt was very easy and pleasant to work with, knowledgable and even detailed the jeep himself before we left and set up settings also.
My salesman was John Campbell, who bought several vehicles from the dealership before retiring from his profession of many years and then going to work at this dealership. He went to work here because of how well he had been treated as a buyer---he wouldn't buy a car from anyone else. I appreciate people who believe in a company like he does, and have a passion for quality service. I understand why John feels this way, after experiencing his professional salesmanship and the Chris Nikel difference. It's refreshing not to haggle over a sale, get a good deal, and not have to pay all kinds of processing fees, etc.I appreciate Matt working with me also. On a cash deal, you pay the price quoted for the vehicle and you are good to go. It was well worth the time and distance for me to go to Broken Arrow for my truck. I understand now why this dealership is rated so highly.
This was by far the easiest vehicle transaction we have ever made. The numbers were real, the answers were real, always a quick response and the price was great! Highly recommended for a vehicle purchase.
Matt was very thorough in his knowledge of the vehicle. He listened to where we wanted to be with financing. There was no high pressure sales even though he stayed late past closing to make sure our questions were answered. The sales manager (also named Matt) was very friendly and helpful as well and made the signing process very quick which was nice not having to wait an hour to get the financing completed. Overall we are so impressed and Chris Nikel will be the first place we shop for our next car in the future!
From greeting you upon arrival, all the way through the finance department, everyone at Nikels makes you feel welcome and un pressured. I'm a repeat customer who wouldn't hesitate to return everytime I'm interested in a new vehicle.
Matt was verry helpful in the purchase of my new vehicle. He was straight forward did not give me the runaround when I had a question. I really do appreciate how professional he was.
I pretty much knew what I wanted, or at least thought I did. Once there, Matt Causey let me look at several different package options. Matt did a great job explaining the difference in the trim packages and options to choose from. I never felt pressure to buy, but did so two weeks later with a simple text conversation. It could not have been any easier or gone any smoother. They had everything ready, and I was in and out in about one hour. Great Job!
I was well prepared and had done a viable amount of research, as one should, before ever setting foot on the lot. I was greeted and Matt was extremely kind and helpful. My biggest fear was a pushy salesman which is an immediate put off and I will just take my business elseware, I in no way experienced that here. All my questions were quickly and accurately answered, and he seemed to me very honest about the quality of the car. Even during the signing and paperwork process they were quick to fix any minor issues and there was no push on any extra warranty or last minute price adjustments and they didn't get frustrated when we declined certain things. Overall a great experience!
Matt Causey was my sales person and he was great. I went in knowing what I wanted and he made it happen quickly, friendly and efficiently. Overall great experience.
So thankful for the amazing service we received today from Matt in purchasing my first brand new vehicle!!! He was very thorough in finding out what I was looking for and locating the vehicle with my "necessities." Even took time to make sure I knew how to operate the tech options and setup before we drove off the lot. This kind of vehicle has been a dream for years and so glad for their help in making it a reality! Hands down, best experience I've had purchasing a vehicle!
Phenomenal experience from the beginning all the way to the follow up! The whole process was so easy and everyone made me feel so welcome. I've been suggesting Matt at Chris Nikel to anyone who will listen! I won't ever buy a vehicle from anywhere else!
Matt was very kind and helpful. He really wanted to help us find what we were looking for and was not pushy. He worked with the financing until it was something we were comfortable with and made the whole experience stress free and easy. He was amazing, as was the entire dealership.
Our experience was great there. Matt was very friendly and helpful made sure it was the vehicle I wanted and did not try and sale me something I did not want. Nice dealership.
Matt C & Matt L treated me so great through out the entire process...I was able to drive away confident in both model and payment.

Jensen Ackles is an American actor and director known for his roles in television as Eric Brady in Days of our Lives, Alec/X5-494 in Dark Angel, Jason Teague in Smallville, and, currently, Dean Winchester on the CW series Supernatural. He voiced Gibson in the 2010 videogames TRON: Evolution and TRON: Evolution - Battle Grids.

His character died in the episode, but Ackles returned as the character's clone in the second season, and remained with the show as a series regular until its cancellation in 2002. In 2003, he joined the cast of the WB's hit show Dawson's Creek during its final season, and filmed several episodes of the unaired series Still Life for Fox before it was abruptly dropped. He also had a small role in the 2004 short film The Plight of Clownana.
He returned to Vancouver (where Dark Angel was filmed) in 2004 to become a regular on Smallville, and had a lead role in the 2005 film Devour, in which Ackles' father, actor Alan Ackles, played the father of Ackles' character.
In September of 2005, Ackles starred along side Jared Padalecki in the new television series Supernatural. It has recieved and been nominated for several awards, including the Favorite TV Bromance at the 2014 People's Choice Awards. Supernatural has been on its 9th season since October 8, 2013 and the mid-season premiere will air January 14, 2014.
In the summer of 2007, Ackles took on the role of Priestly in the independent comedy Ten Inch Hero, receiving high praise for his comedic timing in the role. He also appeared on stage in 2007, with Lou Diamond Phillips, in A Few Good Men at Casa Mañana Theatre in Fort Worth, Texas. In 2008, he was cast in the remake of the cult film My Bloody Valentine 3D, and 2010, he voiced Jason Todd in the animated film Batman: Under The Red Hood.

Micronutrient malnutrition Micronutrient malnutrition is a term used to refer to diseases caused by a dietary deficiency of vitamins or minerals. More than 2 billion people in the world today may be affected by Micronutrient malnutrition.Research has conclusively shown that malnutrition during pregnancy causes the child to have increased risk of future diseases, physical retardation, and reduced cognitive abilities Micronutrients include, but are not limited to: • Vitamins A, B, C and D, Calcium, Folate, Iodine, Iron, Zinc. In italy about 0.58 per cent of dealth rate is occuring in a year, because of malnutrition.
• Micronutrient deficiencies affect more than two billion people of all ages in both developing and industrialized countries. They are the cause of some diseases, exacerbate others and are recognized as having an important impact on worldwide health.Importantmicronutrients include iodine, iron, zinc, calcium, selenium, fluorine, and vitamins A, B6, B12, B1,B2, B3, and C. Deficiencies of essential vitamins or minerals such as Vitamin A, iron, and zinc may be caused by long-term shortages of nutritious food or by infections such as intestinal worms. They may also be caused or exacerbated when illnesses (such as diarrhoea or malaria) cause rapid loss of nutrients through feces or vomit. Major Micronutrient deficiencies: Anemia, Iodine defiency disorders, Xeropthalmia, Multiple disorders, Iron, Iodine, Vitamin A, Zinc.
Treatment for Micronutrient malnutrition Proper intake dietary supplements in food are very essential. Iron is a micronutrient that is essential to the structure of every cell in the body, but particularly red blood cells (haemoglobin), which transport oxygen in the blood to tissues in the body. Iodine is a nutrient essential for normal functioning of the thyroid gland, production of thyroid hormones and metabolism. These enzymes help prevent cellular damage from free radicals that can cause the development of chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease. It is also essential to making DNA, the genetic material in cells.

Keeping Our Community Informed: New Safety Standards for Cribs Going Into Effect
Posted on: 06/29/2011
By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- Beginning Tuesday, July 5, a new generation of cribs, designed to be safer, will be the only ones approved for sale - in stores, online, and even at neighborhood yard sales.
Ushering in one of the most significant changes in child safety in decades, a new rule taking effect this week bans the manufacture, sale and resale of drop-side crips. Drop-sides have a side rail that can be raised and lowered to allow parents to more easily place or lift a baby, but they have been blamed in the deaths of several dozen children.
Another significant part of the new federal standard mandates more rigorous safety tests for children's cribs before they hit the market. In the past, manufacurers were allowed to retighten screws and bolts on a crib in the middle of hardware testing meant to mimic how a child might rattle a crip - by jumping up and down or shaking a rail. While the tests were intended to simulate a toddler in a crib, they don't mimic the reality of the parent. It's a rare parent who would know when to retighten obscure pieces of hardware on a crib during normal use by a child. The retightening of screws and bolts during durability tests on cribs ends Tuesday, though, as part of the new rule approved last year by the Consumer Product Saftey Commission. Stronger mattress support systems and crib slats are also a major part of the new testing.Back to archive

The Hitters
Harvard has benefited from a balanced offense early in the season as five different Crimson have attempted at least 60 attacks with three of them averaging at least 2.00 kps. Taylor Docter leads the way with 2.95 kps, but is followed closely by Kathleen Wallace who has notched 2.75 kps with a .353 hitting percentage. Caroline Walters ranks third on the team with 2.00 kps while her .443 hitting percentage is good for 15th in the NCAA. Teressa Skelly and Caroline Holte have also contributed to the attack, averaging 1.47 kps and 1.45 kps, respectively.
Setting it Up
Senior Beth Kinsella and freshman Hannah Schmidt have shared setting duties as the team has shifted into a 6-2 offensive system. Schmidt has dished out 107 assists for an average of 5.35 per set, while Kinsella has tallied 90 assists for a 5.29 average. The duo has helped Harvard to a .222 hitting percentage, third highest in the Ivy League.
On the Block
Middle blockers Caroline Holte, Teresa Skelly and Caroline Walters have helped Harvard average 2.33 bps through the first six matches of the year, good for 73rd in the NCAA. Skelly leads the team with 19 total blocks and is third in the Ancient Eight with an average of 1.12 bps. Both Holte and Walters have recorded 16 total blocks for an average of 0.80 per set.
Keep an Eye Out For…
Beth Kinsella, Taylor Docter and Teresa Skelly each have a chance to make their marks on the Harvard record books this season. Kinsella currently ranks sixth all-time with 1,327 assists and has averaged 7.54 aps for her career. Docter's career average of 2.55 kps is good for ninth in school history while her 82 aces are just two shy of entering the top 10. Docter is also closing in on Harvard's all-time top 10 for kills and enters the weekend with 758. Skelly, meanwhile, is just eight block assists (176) short of entering the program's top 10 and needs 37 more total blocks (202) to join that list as well.
Scouting UConn (6-5)
The Huskies enter play this weekend coming off a 2-2 performance at the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invitational hosted by Missouri State. UConn is led by Devon Maugle who has notched 3.84 kps and 2.39 dps this season. Mattison Quayle has added 2.82 kps and 2.57 dps, and has also recorded 0.82 bps. Marissa Prinzbach has served as the team's primary setter with 9.53 aps and Kelsey Maving has tallied 5.79 dps as the team's libero.
Scouting Northeastern (8-3)
Northeastern went 2-1 at last weekend's Duke Classic and has won four of its last five matches entering the weekend. The Huskies have been paced by Kelly Bacon's 3.26 kps while Jillian Briner has added 2.42 kps. Nicole Bishop has led Northeastern defensively with 0.92 bps, with Natalia Skiba notching 5.84 dps at the libero position. Ina Kamenova and Briner have split time at setter, averaging 6.32 aps and 5.68 aps, respectively.
Scouting Boston College (6-4)
The Eagles are coming off a 2-1 weekend at the Spring Hill Suites at Arundel Mills Invitational hosted by the University of Maryland. Katty Workman and Courtney Castle have led the charge for BC on both the offensive and defensive sides of the net this season, with Workman, the reigning ACC Freshman of the Week, averaging 3.76 kps and 2.39 dps while Castle has notched 3.24 kps and 3.39 dps. The setting duties have been split between Cagla Sen and Kellie Barnum. Sen has averaged 6.90 aps as Barnum has dished out 6.00 aps.
Hitting it Home
Harvard registered a .474 hitting percentage against Providence, by far the highest hitting percentage of the season recorded by an Ivy League school. The Crimson converted 40 kills against the Friars on 78 attempts while only committing three errors. Caroline Walters hit a match-high .750 (6-0-8) while Kathleen Wallace hit .667 (12-0-18), the second-highest individual hitting percentage with a minimum of 10 attempts in the Ancient Eight this season. Caroline Holte (7-1-10) and Jennifer Shults (4-0-7) also got in on the action, hitting .600 and .571, respectively.
Harvard last hit .400 for a match on Sept. 27, 2008, when the squad combined for a .456 hitting percentage (35-4-68) in a 3-0 win over St. Francis (Pa.).
Senior co-captain Taylor Docter has been named to both the Hokie Invitational and Harvard Invitational all-tournament teams this season. She was joined on the Harvard Invitational All-Tournament Team by freshman Kathleen Wallace and sophomore Caroline Walters. This marked the first all-tourney honor of each of their careers.
Captain of the Ship
Senior Taylor Docter was voted by her teammates as the 59th captain of Harvard women's volleyball. Docter was an All-Ivy League second team and Academic All-Ivy honoree in 2011 after ranking eighth in the conference in kills per set (3.05), seventh in aces (0.27) and seventh in points per set (3.52). The Los Altos, Calif., native also averaged 1.72 dps on the defensive side of the net and finished her year with career-highs in kills, attempts, hitting percentage and digs.
"Taylor has been an impact player since her freshmen season," Head Coach Jen Weiss commented. "She came in this preseason in great shape and ready to work hard. As a second team All-Ivy outside hitter, she led our team in points scored and kills per set. She has a natural ability to lead and her peers respect her on and off the court. Taylor's composure on court has been tremendous this year and I look forward to her leading the team."
Platinum Anniversary
Head coach Jen Weiss is in her 20th season at the helm of the Crimson. Weiss owns a 243-282 record on the sidelines and guided Harvard to its only Ivy League championship in 2004. She has mentored 46 All-Ivy honorees, five Ivy League Rookie of the Year recipients and coached the program's first two-time Ivy League Player of the Year in Kaego Ogbechie '05.

First off, I agree completely with everything you said, just want to add a few extra points. Also, I'm not familiar with Leelah Alcorn, I'll go with what you said in your post.
I agree with Shika as what works for one person does not work for another. Religion and Faith is great for a lot of people who find strength and purpose in their faith but it isn't good for those who are persecuted and forced to feel shame from a faith they have been raised under. One case would be Leelah Alcorn, look at how her family's refusal to accept her chosen identity and desires affected her. Look at what is a likely result when your family and those in your church continue to browbeat you with the idea that their God doesn't make mistakes, that you are a freak of nature and that you should just turn to their God. Being isolated from the outside world with nobody to talk to but your religious family and church "healers" contributed to making a very confused persons life seemingly unbearable. Even now, knowing how much their treatment caused Leelah to hate herself, her parents still spout religion when it was damaging to her.
There is nothing more despicable for a so called "Christian" than for them to do something like this. Nothing makes me more furious than this.
No, God never make mistakes, and He sure as hell didn't make a mistake when He made Leelah. The only mistake He might have made was having her born to such idiotic and wicked parents. No parent should ever reject their child for being transgender. NEVER. A child is a gift and privilege from God, to be cherished and cared for. If one of my future children was transgender, I would work to understand them, console them, and respect whatever choice they made.
Was she at fault? Well is anyone who is psychologically affected by abuse at fault for it affecting their judgement and happiness? Faith can hardly be a pillar of strength for someone who faith is being used as an excuse to try and "fix" them. She hated the life her parents were forcing her to lead, a life away from her peers, a life being forced to listen from "healers" about how wrong she was and how she should just turn to their God. She hated having arguments with her mother and family since she was 14 and she hated being isolated. Most of all, knowing she was transgender and being made to feel more like a freak by parents who loved her but didn't act lovingly towards her, she hated herself.
Yes, she was at fault. But you cannot hold it against her, given everything that happened to her.
This is exactly why I say Faith cannot, and absolutely should not be forced. It is always voluntary.
Leelah's thoughts were not rational but neither was the "treatment" she was undergoing. Telling someone to just trust God does not help if those who follow God refuse to accept her. She could have had faith but that type of thing can be tarnish when people around you are insisting that the God you believe in won't accept you, that he doesn't make mistakes that he doesn't make freaks etc etc.
In that situation I would highly recommend her to find real Christians, if not that, at least people who will make an attempt to help her. Clearly, the people she was surrounded by were useless.
Sure, many can find strength in God and in their faith in God, but many need to find that strength elsewhere in friends and other things. When that is denied to you then its very difficult to see that strength or to feel that strength when your self-worth is weak, when your grip on rational thought is weak from depression. Sure she would not have lived in her parents home all her life but its very difficult to see that when you are in that environment, when the pressure of self-hate and depression is building around her.
I'm glad lots of people have been able to turn to God in grief and do good things for others and such. But I don't think it should be forced on everyone as a healing measure as everyone is different and not everyone finds strength in faith, and many find hatred from those of faith so its understandable.
In my experience, it is better to trust in God rather than man. I've met people who've had longtime friends betray them. But still, for Leelah's case it would have been the best course for her. I am reluctant to say this, but it is sometimes better to avoid religion.
There seem to be many strings to this power.
There's only that one string, just gotta realize you CAN.
Do all of them really? There are alot of hard obstacles out there. Many humans, regardless of their inner fortitude, are not in their control. They may not be able to control them mentally or they may not be able to control them physically (or biologically). I still think its a foolhardy position to take that we can truly handle everything thrown at us (us metaphorically
Then how else would we survive? We must have the strength, otherwise we're screwed. Unless the thing that's thrown at us can be avoided.
I think your latter statement sums up my reply. In my post I explicitly stated faith, like any idea or concept, can be a useful motivator or sustainer. So I obvious agree it can help. But the statement 'god never gives us anything we can't handle' isn't a statement which says 'faith can help'. Its a absolute statement that with faith anything can be overcome, i.e. faith is a cure-all.
If anything, it sustains the spirit until a solution to the problem is found.

MOVIE REVIEW- 'Dark Knight': Batman's back and worth several views
Two hours has rarely flown by as rapidly as it does in The Dark Knight. My jaw dropped so often I finally got tired of picking it up and let it lie there. Director and co-writer Christopher Nolan dispenses with the introductions, training and deep psychology– fear of bats, guilt over parents' death and need to avenge it, etc.– that bogged down Batman Begins, and hits the ground running.
But there's a wild card in the deck– a Joker, as you may have heard. Heath Ledger's indelible semi-final performance deserves all the superlatives that have been heaped upon it and the accolades yet to come. In addition to being frightening and unpredictable, Ledger adds a spirit of fun that was missing from Batman Begins. Okay, let it be dark and intense, but at the end of the day we're still talking about a freaking comic book character!
Quite the reverse of Batman, the Joker isn't psychoanalyzed at all. He's simply pure evil, like a classic monster in Alien or Jaws. The closest anyone comes to explaining him is, "Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
The good guys are back, all but one in the same body. Christian Bale is billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne and his crimefighting alter ego, Batman (usually referred to as "The Batman," presumably because he's the genuine article). He's assisted by Alfred (Michael Caine), the Wayne family butler, and Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), the technical genius Bruce promoted to CEO of Wayne Enterprises but who still designs Batgadgets on the side– a full day for a man of retirement age. He gives Bruce a Batsuit that's "lighter, faster, more agile."
Still playing "She loves me, she loves me not" with Bruce is his childhood friend Rachel Dawes, who knows his secret but can't commit to him until Batman gets Gotham cleaned up and retires. Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role from Katie Holmes but apparently came aboard too late for the film to be rewritten to take full advantage of the special qualities she might have brought to it. Continuing her tradition of getting involved with her bosses, Rachel is seriously dating the new district attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).
Dent, sometimes called "Gotham's White Knight," seems too good to be true. Batman vets him through the only cop he knows he can trust, Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), who now heads Gotham P.D.'s Major Crimes Unit, and joins forces with Dent despite his personal jealousy over Rachel. (Dent's coin-tossing gimmick would have seemed fresher before No Country for Old Men. Now you keep waiting for him to slip and call someone "Friend-o.")
With those pieces in place, the movie zips along like a pinball for about two perfectly paced hours. Near the end of that time, it's been widely publicized, a new persona of Dent's emerges to add yet another complication.
The Joker orchestrates a climactic situation that's like a Saw movie on a Titanic scale, but around this point The Dark Knight runs into problems. Yes, it's two hours of fantastically good cinema, but the movie runs two and a half hours. That's too much of a great thing. Even subtracting 10 minutes for credits, you have 20 minutes that doesn't measure up.
What happens is that director Nolan and his brother, Jonathan Nolan, working from a story by Christopher and David S. Goyer, have written themselves into a corner and have to talk their way out. It's not all bad, but it's generally anticlimactic and definitely not on the level of what came before.
The Dark Knight seems pre-sold like few movies in history (you gotta wonder what happened to the guy who sat in the meetings and argued that people won't know what it's about if you don't keep the name "Batman" in the title– he's probably running for Congress) and there's no question that most of the crowds who flock to it will leave happy and go to see it again. The story's dense enough to warrant repeat viewings.
Let it be stated for the record that I didn't see The Dark Knight in Imax. There was a time when a critic could review a movie by watching it one time. Now it has to be seen in 2D, 3D, and Imax before you wait for the "special edition" DVD with the director's cut and alternate endings. A person can make a career of reviewing a single film!
Whatever my cavils, The Dark Knight will be successful enough that if Nolan, or whoever takes over from him, can keep up the quality, it will be a long time before the series that started with "Batman Begins" concludes with "Batman Ends."

Price Paid: $99
Solid winter jacket.
- Warm
- Compressable
- Good fit
- A bit bulky
- No baffled hood
I have used mine hard for 7 years and it is still going strong. I have had NONE of the zipper problems other reviewers have mentioned.
I have used it as an ice climbing jacket in very cold conditions, often using it as a belay jacket. In addition, I have been very comfortable using it and some fleece pants as a sleeping system when going ultralight. I am careful to keep it dry, and have not had the odor problems other folks have had.
TNF seemed to go through a quality control issue a few years back, so I would check one out before I bought it, but I have had such a good experience that I would get another one if I ever need to replace the one I have now.

Price Paid: $130
My main complaint about this jacket is that the zippers are cheap and maddening. The pocket zippers are hard to shut and get caught often. The main zipper also jams up frequently. Not up to the quality of the zipper on the NF Denali fleece, for example.
Otherwise ok. Plenty of down.

It looks good and it's warm but...
The zippers get stuck continuously (especially pockets) and it drives you mad, and worse still it's completely unwashable. Follow the instructions and it ends up lumpy and unusable - it's a disposable coat!
Basically don't use the pockets and never wash it and it's OK. There are better coats at this price range for sure.

This really is a warm coat but at times it can feel a bit bulky. I've owned mine for 3 years and it's still going strong. It is expensive but i don't regret buying it.

Price Paid: $199
This jacket is excellent against the cold. I was sweating in it while hiking at between -1 and 10 degrees in Barrow, Alaska, and this was with 20-25 mph winds.
However, the down stinks almost intolerably when you sweat or get it wet. I was about to tell my hiking partner that he needed a shower when I realized that it was my jacket!

Fabric: nylon
Fill: 700 down
Price Paid: $110
Is this a real Nuptse or a knock-off?? That's the question a lot of buyers are facing. One writer gave this explanation:
Many cheaper Nuptses are knock-offs. Here is what happens. The overseas factory finishes its shift, after producing a few thousand jackets. Some personnel stay late and make a run of 'bogus' Nuptse Jackets using much the same materials on the same machinery as the real ones. Same nylon, same labels, same down, same thread. Maybe the quality control is not as high, maybe the down is not as dense, but the jackets are almost the real thing - only sold on the black market at half price.
Are they just as good as the genuine Nuptse? Not quite. But are they worth $100 rather than the usual $200?
In my opinion... yes.
But if you get a Nuptse with hardly any down in the baffles, send it back for a new one.
Buyers beware.

Fabric: Nylon
Fill: 700 US
Price Paid: 150 ukl
Excellent, I have owned my Nuptse for two years. I don't mind the down migration as it means the shell is single and not double and hence lighter to carry. I feel that the down is not really 700 more like 600 by UK standards, but it is instantly warm and wearable both round town and on the hill. I have found the materials to be much more durable than previously stated in other reviews. Love it!

Great jacket. It is very light and is so warm. However, I got a rip in mine and feather keep on flying out. Someone accidentally washed mine and so the jacket has very few feathers left in it. But I am going to have to probably buy a new one. It is great and the fact that it can kep you warm in the winter is a reason to buy it.

Very lofty at 700fp. Keeps me warm throughout cold winters in Tahoe. I paid $140 for it, which is a great price for a popular color (black/black). I wouldn't pay $200 for this jacket though, so make sure you shop around.

Fabric: Down-Proof Nylon
Fill: 700 fill down
Price Paid: $79.99
This is the best jacket I have ever had. I was out in -30 temperatures and it was -65 with wind chill I was very warm but then I can wear the jacket in my car or in my house and not get too hot because the down is very good. People say that The North Face products are too high priced. I got this fine jacket for $79.99, you just have to look around. I zipped the jacket in a Talkeetna Shell Jacket for all-around wind, water, rain, and snow protection. I would recommend this jacket to anyone.

Fabric: 50D ripstop nylon
Fill: 700+ goose down
Price Paid:
There's just nothing like down! The Nuptse parka is probably the most comfortable winter parka I have ever owned. Down acts almost like it has some sort of natural thermostat. You always just feel comfortable, no matter how warm or cold it is out. It's way different than any synthetic.
I also own a Patagonia Guide parka which is stuffed to the gills with Quallofil. Its a mighty warm jacket, but MUCH heavier and I sweat like a pig whenever I'm in any weather other than freezing cold. With the Nuptse though, I'm always comfortable no matter what the temperature outside is. And, it's light as a feather and almost as comfy as my Marmot Couloir bag, and that's saying a lot since my Marmot is second only to good sex!
Construction of this parka is excellent, and is MUCH BETTER than I have experienced recently with THF down bags. Not a feather, not a ONE, has found its way out. Way to go North Face!
I bought this jacket on Campmor's web site for $99.95.

I bought this jacket on Campmor's web site for $99.95. It works great in the cold Alaska winters. I wear it everywhere. And for the price I paid it makes it even better. I highly recommend it. It also fits into just about any parka that has double zips and compacts well into its stuff sack.

Fill: Down

Very warm jacket. Looks good and performs well. Try not to get the bugga wet though, the down smells and will decompose after a while. The really anoying thing is the the feathers come out, so you have to constantly pull them back through the outer layer if you want to keep them. It's a wonder that The North Face has not solved this problem. But, worth the money.

Fabric: Ripstop Nylon
Fill: 700 fill power goose down
Price Paid: $190
This used to be a good jacket... not any more. After researching I THOUGHT that this was one of the best jackets out there. They have changed things. Unfortunately, after ordering it, I found out that they have changed the quality of materials they use.
For instance, they now use cheap-ass black painted zippers instead of the smooth running zinc-plated zippers before. The zipper is wavy and gets caught on the surrounding fabric...clearly a low quality zipper. They also now use generic plastic snaps on the cuffs instead of their usual high quality metal logo snaps. The weight is also actually heavier than their specs...Plus they majorly underfill the channels with down. There is not enough down in it to loft up to any reasonable amount. Even though it's 700 fill power, that doesn't mean you can use significantly less down in the jacket thinking it will make up for itself.
Compared to a lesser priced competitors jacket I own, the Nuptse was very poor at lofting up even though its fill power was greater. I believe that The North Face figures it can get away with using cheaper materials because they know that many of their customers only care about a big fancy name brand.
Not all customers use them for style alone. In fact their whole spirit has emphasized exploring and extreme activities, and many people, like myself use their products for extended outdoor use, relying on good materials and workmanship. If those aren't there, why pay more? They may be trying to sell it at the same price, but in order to do that year after year they have to use less expensive materials. Or they could be just getting cheap on us and have decided to use crummier materials and still sell it at an exorbitant price so they can cash in.
Even so, this jacket does not meet even the most basic standards I have come to expect from TNF. I am very disappointed at their change for the worse. However, if you would still like to get this product, make sure you get an older model or one still containing high quality materials. It's not worth paying twice as much for something with less than great materials. Be a smart consumer, don't be fooled by a fancy label and a fancy price tag, those don't always mean a good product.

Fabric: Nylon
Fill: Goose Down
Price Paid: $165
I got the jacket last week so haven't had the opportunity to try it out in cold weather. It looks like a good jacket and had to look hard to find it for $165 (not a discontinued or unpopular color).
One problem that I noticed is that the zipper gets caught on the nylon material that comprised the little flap behind the zipper that keeps the cold out. This happens a lot up in the neck area where the zipper isn't straight (curves with the neck).
I've thought of a couple of options to fix it.

This is a great jacket. It is extremely warm. It is also a very attractive jacket. The Nuptse Jacket packs really well, it takes up little room in my pack and weighs only about 1lb and 5oz. This jacket zips into most jackets which is nice. If you decide to get this jacket it will be worth every penny.

Lightest down sweater I've found. Be mindful of the fact that down is useless when wet and that this jacket is not made of a dryloft shell. Go with a synthetic or dryloft shelled insulating layer, unless you aren't anticipating any wet weather use. Still, it's the warmest jacket I've ever owned and great as a general winter jacket here in VT....

AUSTIN, Tex. — The Texas Medical Board on Friday approved controversial new rules on the use of adult stem cells, raising concerns that Texans could receive therapies that have not yet been proven to work and that could be unsafe.
The new rules allow doctors to perform stem cell procedures as long as they are done for research and receive approval from an institutional review board, which can be private and profit-making. The rules also require that patients sign informed consent forms.
The approval process, which took months, was set off by Gov. Rick Perry, who reported relief from back pain after being injected with his own stem cells last summer before he began his presidential bid. Mr. Perry directed his staff to help push through the legislation on which the new rules are based.
Researchers said the evidence of success of stem cell injections is anecdotal, and they advocate waiting for clinical trial results before allowing doctors to charge patients for the procedures, which typically cost tens of thousands of dollars.
"I think there are some real problems with these rules," said Leigh Turner, a professor at the University of Minnesota's Center for Bioethics, who commented on the rules before the board. "The protective mechanism that they're focusing on isn't going to do very much."
The rules' supporters acknowledged the need for changes, like a better definition of stem cells, but they said the rules would protect Texas patients more effectively. Procedures are being performed now without oversight.
"Doing something at this point is better than doing nothing," said Mario Salinas, director of Texans for Stem Cell Research, adding, "This is just the first step."
Mr. Perry received a stem cell injection in July to treat his back pain. That same month, he sent a letter to the medical board chairman commenting on the "revolutionary potential that adult stem cell research and therapies have on our nation's health, quality of life and economy." The rules approved on Friday do not address the use of embryonic stem cells — a far more controversial procedure that has drawn moral and religious objections.
Though bone marrow transplants, which use blood-forming stem cells, have been used effectively to treat a variety of ailments for decades, experts say other procedures remain experimental. The medical board's proposed rules, which appeared last month in The Texas Register, a state publication, attracted criticism from Nature, the international journal, which wrote in an editorial that the board should "make clear the need for clinical validation of adult stem cells."
Because the rules had already been published in The Texas Register and stakeholders had provided feedback, the medical board could not make major changes on Friday and faced a simple choice: accept or reject the rules.
Even some board members who voted to accept the rules agreed that they were not perfect. But they said the rules improved on the current situation by adding a layer of protection for Texas patients.
"Right now, we've got essentially an emergency state, where there are a lot of concerns about the way stem cells are being used," said Dr. Stanley Wang, a board member. He added that the new rules add at least the layer of institutional review board approval before a doctor can act.
Dr. William Smythe, a board member who voted against the rules, agreed that guidelines are needed, but objected to the use of the procedures without additional research.
"If Texas wants to be a leader in this area, there are other ways to do this," Dr. Smythe said. "You want to add a layer of protection? Put a moratorium on the use of these agents until they're proven."

Article by Senior Published in Financial History Magazine
An article by senior Sara Kohles investigating the origins of matrimonial diamond rings and the diamond industry's evolving response to changing social trends and economic pressures appears in the winter 2013 issue of Financial History, the magazine of the Museum of Finance.
"De Beers managed to grow the value of the U.S. diamond industry from $23 million in 1939 to $2 billion in 1980. Yet, De Beers' advertising costs were modest ... marketing was only part of a much more complex social picture. Economic growth provided the increased purchasing power but ultimately social conditions, keenly tracked and exploited by De Beers and its advertising agencies, induced Americans to funnel some of their higher incomes into diamonds. ... As the sanctity of marriage evolved, so did the diamond industry. ... A new style of diamond rings called eternity rings was promoted to married women as a way to rekindle romance. Eternity rings became especially popular in the 1980s after the divorce rate had skyrocketed to about 50 percent. ... Today, singles are entering into marriage at ever-older ages because they want to first establish careers and financial stability. ... Promise rings, a promise to get engaged in the future, are becoming a popular option among today's couples. Just as engagement rings act as a bond to get married, promise rings offer a type of signal proving commitment to a relationship," Kohles, a 2012 Thomas Willing Institute Scholar, writes.

32. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies of WPP plc (the Company) are summarised below. These accounting policies have all been applied consistently throughout the year and preceding period from 12 September 2008, the date of incorporation, to 31 December 2008.
a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable UK accounting standards and the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
b) Translation of foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions arising from operating activities are translated from local currency into pounds sterling at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Foreign currency gains or losses are credited or charged to the profit and loss account as they arise.
c) Investments
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for impairment.
d) Taxation
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxation is provided in full on timing differences that result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
e) UITF 44: Group and treasury share transactions
Where a parent entity grants rights to its equity instruments to employees of a subsidiary, and such share-based compensation is accounted for as equity-settled in the consolidated financial statements of the parent, UITF 44 requires the subsidiary to record an expense for such compensation in accordance with FRS 20 (Share-based payments), with a corresponding increase recognised in equity as a contribution from the parent. Consequently, in the financial statements of the parent (WPP plc), the Company has recognised an addition to fixed asset investments of the aggregate amount of these contributions of £54.9 million in 2009 (2008: £7.2 million), with a credit to equity for the same amount.

Afghanistan mission won't be extended, MacKay says
Defence minister rejects NATO pleas to prolong training deployment
The Canadian Forces mission in Afghanistan to train the country's army will end in 2014 as planned despite entreaties from NATO to extend the deployment, Defence Minister Peter MacKay said Sunday.
At a meeting of NATO leaders in Chicago, MacKay said Canada has "been a major contributor" to the Afghan war "since the very beginning" and has done more than its fair share. Canada will continue to contribute to Afghanistan in ways other than military personnel, he said. It's believed that would include financial assistance and development aid.
"That doesn't necessarily mean troop contributions or trainers — that means giving the Afghans the resources that they need to continue to make progress and hold the fort," MacKay said.
A formal announcement on Canada's plans for Afghanistan is expected Monday from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who is also in Chicago for the NATO meeting.
$4 billion sought
The military alliance is asking members for a total of $4 billion for the next decade to pay for an independent Afghan National Army. The United States, which launched the invasion of Afghanistan in the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2001, hijackings, is expected to pick up more than half the tab. Germany, Britain and Australia have already pledged more than $100 million each.
On the other hand, newly elected French President François Hollande is indicating he will keep an election promise and pull his country's troops out a year ahead of schedule. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen had specifically asked Canada to keep its approximately 950 military trainers in Afghanistan for a longer period.
"I appreciate very much that Canada provides trainers for our training mission in Afghanistan, and I hope Canada will be in a position to continue that contribution also after 2014," Rasmussen said in a statement last Monday.
The Canadian government had already hinted it wouldn't accede to that request. In an interview that aired Saturday on The House with host Evan Solomon, Foreign Minister John Baird told CBC Radio he wasn't ready to commit to an extension of the mission.
"We've been there for more than 10 years. The Canadian Forces have done a fantastic job in their training mission. They've paid a heavy price in their combat mission," Baird said. "I'm not prepared to commit to any more than that at this time."
The two-day NATO meeting in Chicago is charting the future of the alliance's operations there. Rasmussen said Sunday that "there will be no rush for the exits" as countries withdraw their troops, and that NATO "will stay committed to our operation in Afghanistan and see it through to a successful end."
