Mr. George Robert "Bob" Powell Sr. of Wilkesboro passed away at his home on Dec. 5, 2012.
Bob was born on July 28, 1929, to George White Powell and Emily Nelson Powell in Wilmington.
He graduated from New Hanover High School in 1947 and enlisted in the U.S. Navy, with duty stations in California and on the island of Guam and was honorably discharged with the rank of Yeoman Petty Officer Second Class. Bob then attended Elon College where he met his future wife Betty Lorraine Crowder of Wentworth and had been married for over 59 years.
Bob Powell Sr. began a career in law enforcement March 16, 1953, with the New Hanover County, Alcohol Beverage Control as an enforcement officer for the county, with Wilmington the principal town. He was sworn in on July 30, 1956, as an ATU officer and worked at the Rockingham post (which covered Richmond, Scotland, Montgomery, Moore and Anson counties). He remained at Rockingham for about two and a half years and was promoted to Lumberton, as investigator-in-charge.
After a few months Bob moved back to Wilmington, and remained there until he was reassigned back to the Rockingham post. He was promoted investigator-in-charge of the Wilkesboro office in 1968, which at one time had as many as 13 ATF officers assigned. In 1976, Bob was promoted to Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge for the State of Michigan, where he remained until his retirement in July 1979, having worked in law enforcement for over 26 years.
He was named the Special Agent of the Year for the United States Southeastern Region in 1973, for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. When he retired in 1979, he received from ATF the Albert Gallatin Award, a nationwide tribute from the U. S. Department of the Treasury.
In 1981, he was president of Realty Specialists, Inc., until 1989, and president of Bob Powell Realty, Inc., which he closed in 1993, and re-opened in 1997. He was the founder and first president of the Wilkes Law Enforcement Officers Association. He is a past president of the North Wilkesboro Rotary Club where he received the Rotarian of the Year award and the Rotarian Centennial Award. Bob was a past president of the Wilkes County Chamber of Commerce and the Piedmont Pistol League. He had served as a director of the local United Way and the Wilkes Art Gallery. Bob was a 44 year member of the North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church, a past president of the Men's Bible Class and a Church Elder.
In real estate, he had been a major business presence in Wilkes County for many years. He was a respected businessman, an involved citizen, and a friend and familiar face to everyone. At his friends' urging he took anecdotes from his long and interesting career and penned his book "Moonshiners, Fast Cars and Revenuers," which reflected a significant law enforcement career and a colorful personality. Bob had also performed as Santa Claus for the local Christmas parades and for various celebrations and businesses, including Wilkes Literacy and The Rainbow Center for many years.
Bob Powell is survived by his wife Betty C. Powell; and three children, Bob Powell Jr. wife Karen and granddaughter Callie of Fleetwood, Susan D. (Powell) Bryant and husband Archie of Mooresville, David D. Powell of Charlotte and granddaughter Heather Powell; great-granddaughter Annabelle of North Wilkesboro; nephew Russell Bauer of Richmond, Va.; and niece Emily Bauer of Cincinnati, Ohio.
In addition to his parents, his sister Emily Rose Bauer; and son Stephen Reed Powell preceded him in death.
Funeral arrangements are being conducted by Reins-Sturdivant Funeral Home of North Wilkesboro. There will be a private burial service at Mountlawn Memorial Park. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, at North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church with Rev. Dr. Benton J. Trawick, Dr. Robert C. Evans III, Dr. David Heil, Dr. Tom Miller and Rev. Steve Snipes officiating. A visitation with the family will follow in the Fellowship Hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of Wilkes, 1908 West Park Drive, North Wilkesboro, NC 28659 and the North Wilkesboro Presbyterian Church, 804 E. Street, North Wilkesboro, NC 28659.

Re: What is YOUR profession!When this thread originated, I was a band director in a small, rural Texas town. My job included band 6-12, plus general music K-5. As soon as I could, I retired from that profession. I am now a free-lance tuba player, teach private lessons, and also work as a low brass clinician. Most of my work as a performer is with one of two German-type groups that I perform with. The TubaMeisters is a tuba-euph group that has become fairly popular at fests and private parties, in this area. We actually earn a fair amount of money. I also perform with a more traditional group known as The Sauerkrauts. At certain times of the year, this group is very busy, and travels over much of the continental U.S.
The work in the public schools was extremely stressful. I didn't realize how stressful until I left. I am a much happier man, these days. I still get to work with kids, and have little contact with administrators. Ray Grim

text: There is no doubt that many people 'need' their credit card. As long as you can maintain a low payment and an equally low balance due on your card then it can definitely help us through our daily life. In today's economy the credit card is sometimes used to help make ends meet. This is true in one out of three people. What would some people do if they did not have a credit card in order to cover their day to day living expenses? Credit Cards Can Help Us To Get Through LifeMany people use their credit card to pay their grocery purchases during the month. Others use it to help them get from one paycheck to another. The card has helped many people to survive during our difficult times. This can be an effective way for some families to 'survive' as long as the debt is sensibly managed and the amount owed is paid off as quickly as possible. Some people in need of meeting an immediate obligation also find that their credit card opens the door to instant approval pay day loans. This allows you to a personal loan without the need to wait for processing an application for a loan. This also helps people to get an instant loan that might not qualify, due to their credit score, for a loan. Consolidate credit cards to one with a lower interest rateAnother way credit cards help people in our present economic situation is to transfer balances. In a situation, for example, where a payment is needed on a home mortgage, the transfer via a credit card can help you to make the payment and, on some occasions. even save your home from foreclosure. Yes, credit cards can be good some of the time. But you have to be smart about how your use them and the amount your charge. Watch for the interest rate, promotions and other stipulations. Be a smart consumer. If you do not need it, do not spend. If most people could live within their means then credit card debt would be much lower than it is right now in the US. View the many credit card companies listed and see which sounds best for you. If you do need to make a major purchase and pay it off over time, weigh your options. Do your homework and make sure you have the best rate, deal and can get something more out of a card. Some offer free items, points to redeem for flights, and more. Which card is best for you? Browse through and see. Friends, family and coworkers sometimes favor a particular card. Check out the good and bad points. Make an informed decision and happy spending.

With today's release of the sixth version of the Fast and Furious series, Dodge is hoping to use the movie to help sell its new Dodge Dart.
How is this you ask?
Through a commercial that showcases the Dodge Dart along with some action scenes from the Fast and Furious movie. A little strange given that the Dart doesn't make an appearance in the movie, but they feel that they can grab the attention of that young, mostly male audience.
In the United States, the Dart got off to a slow start, but showed promise at the end of the year and has shown continued progress at the start of 2013. In Canada, Dart sales totaled 3,460 last year and have also seen a surge in sales in the new year.
"Dodge Dart sales really gave us a boost this month as well, more than doubling our February sales," said Dave Buckingham, Chrysler Canada chief operating officer.
I guess when there's so much hype and promise for a new launch, expectations might be falsely high. The Dart is in a packed compact segment that features the likes of the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Ford Focus and Mazda3, among many others. It's just going to take some time for consumers to get comfortable with the Dart after a seven-year Chrysler hiatus from the compact sedan segment. Perhaps this commercial and other movie tie-in marketing ventures can help push the Dart swiftly up the ladder. We will soon find out.
OTTAWA, ON - A growing number of Canada's car dealers are removing fuel-efficiency labels that the industry agreed to display on each vehicle under a voluntary deal reached with Ottawa 15 years ago.
A survey of almost 600 dealerships across the country found that the labels were attached to only 63 per cent of the new vehicles on outdoor lots.
And vehicles displayed in dealer showrooms had the labels affixed just 43 per cent of the time. Some high-end models — BMW and Rolls-Royce, for example — had a zero compliance rate.
The poor showing comes as Natural Resources Canada conducts a review of the voluntary label program for new vehicles, under the brand EnerGuide, including a proposal that it be made mandatory.
The survey of 592 new-car dealerships in 33 large cities was carried out earlier this year by Posterity Group Consulting Inc. under a $113,000 government contract.
The EnerGuide label program for vehicles was launched in 1998 to help consumers make informed choices about the fuel efficiency of new passenger cars, vans and light-duty trucks.
The labels are attached by manufacturers, indicating the number of litres of fuel needed to travel 100 kilometres, and showing the difference between city and highway driving.
The program requires manufacturers to test fuel efficiency of various models under government-approved procedures and standards.
Posterity's final report, delivered in late March, was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
Posterity found that some dealers removed the manufacturers' EnerGuide labels because they also included the retail price. Others tore them off because of "aesthetics," while some said the labels affixed to the windshield were "impeding" drivers' vision during test drives.
Many others who pulled them off claimed the labels gave inaccurate or misleading information about fuel-efficiency.
"At some dealerships, EnerGuide labels were missing due to the errors discovered in the mileage estimates claimed by these manufacturers," says the report.
"Ten makes had compliance rates of zero per cent, including Aston Martin, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Land Rover, Maserati, Mini and Rolls-Royce."
A spokesman for the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association, representing 3,250 dealerships selling 22 brands, said the poor compliance rate across the country was no surprise.
"These things are less and less relevant," chief economist Michael Hatch said in an interview. "The paper label is decreasingly relevant for consumers."
Apart from price, the most important specification for new-vehicle buyers today is fuel efficiency, Hatch said. And most consumers walking into a showroom have done extensive homework online, unlike in 1998 when there were fewer options for obtaining timely data.
"The world has changed," Hatch said.
Natural Resources plans to radically revamp the label program, with a label redesign, new information on carbon dioxide and smog emissions, and special labels for electric vehicles.
The current fuel-consumption label "does not provide Canadians with the information they need to compare the energy, environmental, and financial costs and benefits of different vehicle choices," the department says.
A new fuel-efficiency testing regime would also expand to include air-conditioner usage, cold temperature operation and higher speeds with faster acceleration.
"For most vehicles, consumption will increase by about 15 per cent," spokesman Guillaume Berube said in an email.
The department is also considering making the new EnerGuide label regime mandatory for the 2016 model year.
Hatch says his group is opposed to mandatory labelling, given that consumers have many other ways to acquire relevant information about new vehicles.
"It's kind of an old-school solution to a problem that in our view doesn't exist," he said. "It's just another layer of red tape."
Hatch's group has no objection to retaining an improved paper label, but does not want regulations requiring them.
Berube says the department has received 168 submissions on the proposed changes, including a requirement to colour them blue.
He said he could not provide a timeline for eventual changes, but the department's regulatory notice says a voluntary system would have to be in place by December this year to catch the 2016 model year.
If a mandatory system is chosen, proposed regulations would be published next year, says the notice.
MISSISSAUGA, ON – Nissan today announced Canadian pricing for the all-new 2014 Nissan Versa Note line-up that will boast segment-first features like AroundView® Monitor, best-in-class cargo space and exceptional fuel economy.

"More and more Canadians are looking for a car that is affordable, compact and fuel efficient but also provides the technology and convenience features needed to fit their lives. With the Versa Note, they can now have it all."

DETROIT, MI - Chrysler is recalling 469,000 Jeep SUVs worldwide because they can shift into neutral without warning on startup.
The recall affects 2005 to 2010 Grand Cherokees and 2006 to 2010 Commanders.
U.S. safety regulators say cracks in a circuit board can cause a faulty signal as the SUVs are being started. If the vehicles shift into neutral they can roll away.
Chrysler says the problem has caused 26 crashes and two injuries.
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update software to take care of the problem. Chrysler found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off.
Repairs will be made at no cost to owners.
The recall covers 295,000 vehicles in the U.S., 28,500 in Canada, and 4,200 in Mexico. The remaining 141,000 are outside North America.
The company says in documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Administration that it began looking into the problem after a customer complained that an SUV rolled away in January of 2012 after being started remotely.
There are only a few days between now and Mother's Day, which is usually the time I start scrambling to figure out a gift. I can't be the only one who does this, so I'm sure many of you are in the same boat. It's always tough to figure out the right gift. Do I go for some kitchenware, a cookbook, or perhaps a perfume I know she likes? These are the usual choices that float in my mind and they usually work.
However, the same gifts do get stale after a while and it's nice to be original and shake things up. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit with the people at Canadian Tire who shared with me a new exciting idea for Mother's Day – clean her car inside and out! What a thought!
It's something so simple, yet so nice and most likely needed. It's hard to make the automotive and Mother's Day connection, but it's a service that can include the whole family and be much appreciated and definitely remembered (hopefully not expected every year).
In order to show me what products to buy and explain how easy it was to clean a vehicle, the folks at Canadian Tire gave me a demonstration at one of their local stores. You can call it the one-and-only Mother's Day gift I will ever receive and I loved it. Now if I loved it – what would your mother say when the whole family puts in the effort on Sunday morning?
I pulled my Mazda3 into their garage area and they went to work on it. Unfortunately, I was so busy writing notes and taking pictures I couldn't possibly assist.
The first thing they spotted was some bird droppings on the hood and excitingly ran up to showcase Autoglym's Bird Dropping Wipes ($6.99). They resemble a large wet-nap that most importantly doesn't bleed through causing no mess or residue. It was quick, painless and left no bird droppings on my hands and that to me is a formula for success.
After the bird dropping demonstration, they started out with a power wash using a cap-full of Simoniz Wash & Wax ($12.99) mixed in with a regular bucket of water. Once that was complete, the next step was to spray the entire exterior with Autoglym's Aqua Wax. The Autoglym Aqua Wax Kit ($21.99) comes with the wax spray and two microfiber cloths. This waxing was so simple even your laziest child can figure it out. It's just a simple spray, followed by using one of the cloths to spread the wax evenly around and the other cloth to buff off the wax.
The exterior is never complete without paying attention to your wheels and tires and that's where Simoniz Tire Foam ($8.99) comes in. After covering the entire tire with a few sprays – I said good-bye to all that dirt, mud and grime. Best part of this product is that after you spray it, there's no more work to be done, it comes off on its own. As for the wheels, Autoglym's Custom Wheel Cleaner ($12.99) was used to dissolve brake dust, corrosion and traffic film while providing a nice shine after some scrubbing with Simoniz's Wheel & Fender Brush ($8.99).
Unfortunately, my interior was in pretty good shape, so I gave the Canadian Tire people a bit of a break. As I sipped a coffee on the side I had one request, if they could do something with my endless array of extinct pennies. Within seconds a solution was found as they were all collected and stored along with many old receipts in a vintage MotoMaster tin jar – I guess there's everything for everyone somewhere in Canadian Tire.
Now back to the job at hand…
The first thing they did was remove all of the mats and loose items and got straight to vacuuming. For this job, the Bissell AutoCare Hand Vacuum ($49.99) did the trick. I must say a very handy tool for the car and the home. It's a compact and lightweight vacuum that's deceptively powerful and can get into those hard-to-reach places. Within seconds it sucked up loose hair, scraps of paper and the many leftover bagel crumbs.
When it came to cleaning my dashboard and other plastics there were many different products that could be used. I had the chance to see both the versatile Tub O' Towels ($9.99) and the Armor All Cleaning Wipes ($4.99) in action. They both did a great job in cleaning the dash, getting rid of the dust and making it shine. It just shows you the many different options out there – it's just your job to decide which is best for you.
It might seem like a lot of products and a lot of work, but I can tell you first-hand everything was fairly easy and quick to use. I went to check out their spring display in the store and all of these products are easy to find and were showcased front and center. A little help can go a long way and if your mother's vehicle can use a little makeover – Canadian Tire has all the products and tools you need.
Cooper Tires Zeon RS3-A review: the ultra-high performance tire that Canadians should know about
Written by David MillerCooper Tires is a name that's very familiar yet uncommon in Canada. Names like Bridgestone, Goodyear, Pirelli and Michelin fill our tire commercials and store signs, but there's still some room for competition. That's why Cooper Tires have been making a strong push to make an imprint on the Canadian marketplace.
Cooper Tires are definitely not new, being founded in 1914. Their expertise has focused on the replacement tire market specializing in performance and passenger tires, light trucks, sport utility and crossover vehicles. In attempt to broaden their reach and appeal, Cooper Tires has recently focused their attention to the Great White North – Canada. Cooper Tires have been selling in Canada, unbeknownst to many, but they're determined to customize their tires and promotional material specifically to Canadians. Considering that Windsor, Ontario is only 175 kilometres from Cooper Tires headquarters in Findlay, Ohio – it only makes sense for them to showcase their tires in Canada.
Just recently, Cooper Tires got back into the OEM game and worked out an arrangement with Ford to add its ultra-high performance Zeon RS3-A tire (comes in 38 different sizes) to their all-new Ford Focus vehicles. The Focus falls in the same segment as my Mazda3, so it was a nice test to see how well the Zeon RS3-A's perform on it through the streets of Toronto.
They were fitted to my 2010 Mazda3 Sport replacing their OEMs, the Bridgestone Turanza EL400 that have seen better days through three summers and two snowy winters. When you're not on a back-to-back test it could be hard at times to see the differences from one tire to the other, so it was going to be an interesting challenge to see what kind of change could be felt, if any.
This was not the first time I tested the Zeon RS3-A's. Last spring I was invited to Pearsall, Texas to the Cooper Tires 1,000-acre test track facility to learn more about the company and their tire options. On a wet track, both these Zeon RS3-A's and Toyo's Proxes 4 Plus all-seasons were fitted onto Ford Mustang V-6s. That was a different test that highlighted the Zeon's asymmetrical tread over the one-directional Toyos.
The all-weather RS3-A's can be used in snow or rain and were perfect for the wet track showing off its versatility. My laps were timed and the Mustang with the Zeon's were two seconds quicker than its competition from Toyo. They battled through those slippery conditions while the Toyo's had me skidding in corners and took longer to straighten out.
This new test would be much different and more in-tune with the regular driving habits of the average Canadian. The Zeon RS3-A's would be tested under normal driving conditions with an everyday car. There would be no race track, water track, or competitor in this test. Would they be quiet and smooth or fail under some of Toronto's old crackly roads? Would they provide better grip and handling?
Let's start out with handling. With any performance tire you're looking for handling control that allows you to be more confident and relaxed in your driving actions. We aren't talking extreme racing here, but let's be honest; you want your tires to give you that added friskiness even if it's a Mazda3.
Quickly I could sense a noticeable change in my vehicle. The Zeon's responded quickly and confidently to my steering throughout the streets of Toronto and into Hamilton. They performed admirably and with ease around the twists and turns on my specially designed route. The grip they showed on those windy roads amazed me the most and they transitioned from straight to sideways and back in impressive fashion. And when taken on the highway – the Zeon's handling increased with no tire roll while being quieter.
The Zeon RS3-A excels in the handling department as it's made with 3-D micro-gauge siping that increases tread element stability allowing for more tire control. The 3-D dimple sipes are strategically placed in the center, intermediate and shoulder of the tire creating more road biting action. This simply translates to better grip allowing you to brake quicker if needed and turn those corners at higher speeds. So the best of both worlds – safety and fun. Is there anything more you can ask for in a tire?
Another thing that stands out with these Zeon RS3-A's is the quiet ride it brings. This low amount of noise has a lot to do with its asymmetric design. Asymmetrical tires have a design that mixes different tread patterns to offer better tire performance under differing conditions. Asymmetrical tires have many advantages including the increase of overall tread life and stable cornering (mentioned above), but it also helps decrease road noise and provides you a more peaceful and enjoyable ride.
Beyond the Zeon RS3-A's great dry performance, they're also designed with tread patterns that are optimized for wet and light snow conditions. They possess two wide circumferential grooves that suck water away from the tire tread for hydroplane resistance. For the winter, traction performance is sustained by its sweeping elliptical grooves. I wouldn't recommend using them as winter tires in some parts of Canada, but if you don't see much snow they should do just fine.
Heading into this test I wasn't sure I would feel much of a change in my Mazda3. The changes weren't drastic, but the Zeon RS3-A noticeably improved the stability and handling of my vehicle. Cooper Tires combination of asymmetrical tread design and rubber compound make the Zeon RS3-A a viable performance all-season tire choice. They deliver plenty of performance on dry days, and in different parts of Canada, they will be much needed as they provide added confidence when it's wet or lightly snowing outside.
Cooper Tires have a strong background in the replacement tire segment and their prices don't reflect its performance. Prices vary based on size and store, but I found these tires online for the 205/55R16 size I needed selling for $135.99 per tire with a $70 mail-in rebate. In comparison to its ultra-high performance competitors, the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus and the Pirelli P Zero Nero all-season were found at a more expensive cost. I haven't tested all of their competitors out, but I was happy with my Zeon RS3-A's that provided me some top-quality features at a mid-market price and I will take that every time.
JAMAICA – Nissan has delivered a special GT-R, bathed in exclusive gold paint, to Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt in appreciation for his contributions as a Nissan brand ambassador for GT-R. Bolt, known as "the world's fastest man," has been promoting the company's brand awareness in association with the Nissan Global Brand Campaign, which kicked off in April 2012 and has been running in markets around the world ever since.
It was love at first sight for Bolt, already a GT-R owner, when the one-of-a-kind "Bolt Gold" GT-R was unveiled as the top prize in an online global charity auction held in late 2012. The proceeds of the auction went to the Usain Bolt Foundation.
The special Gold GT-R that Nissan presented to Bolt is based on the 2014 model year Nissan GT-R. It has been customized to suit Bolt's driving style, based on the data Nissan engineers recorded during his test drive of the GT-R line-up when he visited the company headquarters in October 2012.
The uniquely gold-painted Nissan GT-R features a flamboyant white interior, BOSE® audio system and 10-spoke RAYS® aluminum-alloy forged wheels. These specially fitted, hyper-titanium color-coated wheels add extra flair to an already bold exterior that is highlighted by an exclusive "Spec Bolt" emblem. The visual specs of the car, including exterior color, interior color and wheels, were selected by Bolt himself.
The handover event took place on May 5, 2013, at Bolt's home training facility in Jamaica that overlooks the mountains of his home country. Jose Román, vice president of Nissan Latin America and the Caribbean, who attended on behalf of Nissan, handed over the keys to the Gold GT-R to Bolt. Bolt then become the owner of one of only two Gold GT-Rs in existence, the other belonging to the charity auction winner who will take delivery of his special car before the summer of 2013.
TORONTO – Canadians shopping for a new truck helped drive auto sales up nearly nine per cent last month, according to sales figures compiled by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants on Wednesday.
Sales of light vehicles in Canada totalled 171,807 for April, up 8.9 per cent from 157,777 a year ago, breaking a four-month streak of lower year-over-year sales.
The bulk of the gain came from a 16.3 per cent increase in light truck sales which totalled 94,701 for the month, up from 81,409 in April 2012.
"The Canadian light vehicle market surged forward last month, thawing out after a slow winter," DesRosiers said in an analysis that pointed out that the year-to-date sales were now ahead of 2012 for the first time.
The automotive consulting firm noted the big U.S. and Japanese brands enjoyed sales growth last month, while the Korean automakers and some prominent luxury brands failed to capitalize on the strong market.
"Both Korean brands have now lost roughly half a point of market share apiece on a year-to-date basis, bleeding some of the gains won from Japanese manufacturers over the last five years," DesRosiers said.
Sales of its F-Series pickup trucks helped Ford Motor Co. of Canada claim the top spot for the month and the year-to date.
Ford says it sold 27,907 vehicles last month, up from 24,171 a year ago.
The gain came as the company's overall truck sales gained 21 per cent to total 20,809, up from 17,267 from a year ago, and sales of its F-Series truck shot up 38 per cent. Ford car sales were up three per cent from a year ago.
"We're pleased to see long-term growth across varied markets, from the Fusion to the F-150, which has resulted in sales leadership year-to-date through April," Ford Canada president and chief executive Dianne Craig said.
Meanwhile, Chrysler Canada reported sales of 25,745, up from 24,540 in April 2012, also helped by truck sales.
Chrysler said Ram truck sales gained 31 per cent to total 8,020, up from 6,129, while overall truck sales increased 3.2 per cent to 19,865 vehicles. Passenger car sales gained 11 per cent to total 5,880, up from 5,283.
General Motors Canada joined Ford in reporting a double-digit increase in April sales, although it still came in third among the Detroit Three automakers.
GM Canada said the overall number of vehicles delivered by dealers rose 19 per cent to 25,071, its best April performance since 2009.
"We experienced strong sales in virtually all of our vehicle segments in April," said Marc Comeau, GM of Canada's vice-president of sales, service and marketing.
"We're optimistic for the remainder of 2013 as we continue with our aggressive launch plans."
Toyota Canada, helped by its truck sales, led the way among the Japanese automakers as it said it sold 20,087 vehicles in April, up 7.2 per cent from a year ago, including its Lexus and Scion brands.
Toyota sales totalled 18,008 for the month, a gain of six per cent as truck sales grew 20.3 per cent to 8,171 for the month. Lexus sold 1,520 vehicles, up 13.6 per cent form a year ago, including 848 sport-utility vehicles which were up 20.9 per cent. Scion sales were up 40 per cent at 561.
Meanwhile, Honda sales gained 17 per cent to finish the month at 13,257, up from 11,303 a year ago, while its Acura nameplate gained 39 per cent for 2,06 sales in the month, up from 1,497.
Mazda sales slipped to 6,682 from 7,049 in April 2012, while Nissan sales flew to 7,416 from 6,307.
Hyundai sales slipped to 13,517 from 14,301, while Kia sales fell to 7,581 from 8,010.
Spring weather has finally arrived – time to prep for your next road trip at Canadian Tire
Written by David MillerSpring has arrived and although the weather has been unsteady with some snowy days, it's time to gear up for the new season. Now for many of you that might mean tending to the garden and lawn, cleaning, or barbequing, but this article will focus on your auto needs.
Spring is the time of the year when you get the urge to clean your car or go on a much needed road trip. There's just something about sunny weather, a blue sky and clear roads that make you crave an enjoyable road trip. If you're one of those people that love to have their vehicle in tip-top shape for the road, there are many different places you can go for your auto supplies. For the sake of saving time and creating a one-stop shopping venture – Canadian Tire might just do the trick.
Recently I had the pleasure to grab a sneak peek at Canadian Tire's latest offerings for the spring that's now available for all to enjoy. Here are a few products that can enhance your ride and make your road trips more enjoyable.
Autoglym Aqua Wax ($21.99)
This is a unique product to Canadian Tire and comes in a kit that contains the aqua wax spray and two microfiber cloths. For people that don't have too much time on their hands, Autoglym's Aqua Wax is quick and easy to use. After a shampoo wash, shake and spray the wax on all the exterior surfaces while your vehicle is still wet and use one of the cloths to spread the wax evenly around. After that you just need to buff off the wax with the other cloth and achieve a smear-free finish. It's so easy that even lazy people can get in the mood to clean their car.
Meguiar's DA Power System ($64.99)
For the more serious car care specialists we have Meguiar's DA Power System. It's a sponge that can attach itself to most household drills in order to wax, compound and polish your vehicle in less than 30 minutes. The Power System does most of the work allowing you to save your energy and strength for the rest of the day. Meguiar's has all your waxing, compounding and polishing liquid packs available at a price of $16.99 if you so choose.
Rubbermaid Auto Organizers (ranging from $9.99-$34.99)
I'm sure this is something every vehicle owner needs, but rarely buys. Whether you're going on a weekend drive to the park or on a lengthy road trip – these auto organizers will save you from clutter and many arguments along the way. Depending on your needs and family size there are plenty of options ranging from the mini Rubbermaid Trunk Organizer, Deluxe Catcher for $9.99 that can hold smaller items, such as sunglasses, notepads, travel mugs and loose change all the way to the Rubbermaid Triple Bin Auto Organizer for $34.99 that can hold all of your sports equipment and then some.
U-Neck Gel Insert Travel Pillow ($17.99)
If you've had some discomfort or just want the ultimate neck support, U-Neck has created a travel pillow with three pounds of soft moulded memory foam. It's something that is typically purchased prior to a flight, but it might just be the saving grace of a road trip gone too long.
Bracketron Universal Mobile Grip-iT™ Windshield Mount ($24.99)
This is more an unusual item to promote as most new GPS systems come with a windshield mount. However, if you do have an older GPS system or your windshield mount no longer works, you might not know there's an option out there for you.
Bracketron's Universal Mobile Grip-iT™ windshield mount has a quick lock & release lever and is able to rotate 360 degrees. It possesses adjustable wings that open up to 4.5-inches and features a 9.5-inch rotating window mount. Installation is simple and it's compatible with most GPS systems (just make sure yours is one of them).
Kenwood KDC-BT555U Car Stereo ($159.99)
Kenwood audio stereos have long been considered top-of-the-line in performance, reliability and innovative technology, so it was nice to hear that they're now being offered at Canadian Tire after a decade hiatus. They have three different car stereo choices from Kenwood and I've chosen to feature the top model stereo as it has iPhone automatic Bluetooth pairing which is a feature many seek. It also features satellite radio capabilities, variable colour, a remote and an iPhone App mode.
Motomaster Eliminator 100W Inverter ($36.99)
There are many times during our travels where we need a portable charging station for our phones, cameras, MP3 players and computers. Canadian Tire is offering three different power station options from their own brand Motomaster. The Motomaster Eliminator 100-watt inverter has a peak power of 160-watts and plugs directly into your vehicle's 12-volt socket. This particular model has a carbon fibre design.
Roadside Assistance Commuter Safety Kit ($29.99)
Last but not least, we have the roadside assistance safety kit. Any road trip needs some peace of mind and you can have that along with 8' 10 gauge booster cables, 14' 4,500 lb. capacity tow rope, 2-piece tee pee triangle, car blanket, knit gloves, flashlight, emergency poncho and many other necessities if something were to go wrong. As a bonus Canadian Tire offers one-year of free roadside assistance with your purchase.
TORONTO - Honda Canada is recalling about 2,000 Fit Sport vehicles from the 2012-2013 model year.
It's part of a larger Honda recall of nearly 46,000 Fit Sport small cars in the U.S. and Canada.
The company says the recall is to update the Vehicle Stability Assist system software, which will be done free of charge.
It says the VSA system on some of those vehicles equipped with certain tires may allow the tires to lose traction and cause the vehicle to skid under certain test manoeuvres.
Honda says that could result in swerving that exceeds certain Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards requirements.
The company says the issue was discovered during compliance testing. It says it isn't aware of any related crashes or injuries.
Customers will receive notifications of the recall in the mail in May and are encouraged to take their vehicles in to an authorized dealer.

Finally, the day in which he had been trained for since the age of 7 had come, filled with both elation and anxiousness as he awaited the Sacred Ceremony. His mind replayed the last 11 years, the physical and endurance training which at times had left him exhusted near death, the Bow and Sword training which in the beginning left him feeling more like the practice dummy he was hitting. Sunrise to sunset, day after day He trained, only allowed to stop for the yearly celebration of the great Firecat Naurcath, the Deity of his people, but now, at this moment it all accumulated to seem like just a bad dream, today he would bond with the Princess.
She seemed to him what a goddess would be, her long blonde locks flowed about her angelic face like the waves of the sea, her green eyes shimmered like emeralds in the light of the fires and her skin soft and silky that seemed to radiate with a soft aura of light. As he knelt before her as she drew the Blade of Valoria from its scabbard, she began to speak the words of bonding which were nearly lost on him, her voice soft,harmonious and intimate.He watched mesmerized as she wove her delicate hands above his head with fluid, flawless motions when suddenly he felt the slice of the blade on his shoulder drawing him from his reverie. He watched as she drew the blade across the palm of her righthand then pressed it to the cut on his shoulder. His brain was overwhelmed with images and emotions, he could both see her and her seeing him, there was his feelings and what he sensed were her feelings becomeing entwined and tangled like a cascading waterfall. Inspite of it all, with her utterance of her words to rest, he was overtaken with drowsyness and his eyelids grew heavy, her smile was the last he saw before succumbing to the enveloping darkness.
He slept deeply, he'd never known such relaxation, thats why for whatever confusing reason he opened his eyes to find himself atop Uruite'cath volcano. Even more confusing to him was the fact he could not feel the sting of the heated winds upon his face nor the heat of the ground under the soles of his leather boots. The unfamiliarity of fear began to creep into his warrior heart when the realization that he could not move as the magnificat and powerful Firecats encircled him. There was six in all and he was not sure if it was the great Firecats that surrounded him that filled his heart with fear, or the fact that this was the first time in his life he had ever known the feeling. The first Firecat leaped at him and he tried to move, turn, duck and twist, he opened his mouth to shout but no words came out as the great beast slammed into him then seemingly vanish into his body.
He felt as if his body had erupted in flame, the fear he had never known before grabbed hold of his heart as each Firecat leaped at him in turn, he felt as if he was burning alive as essence of each cat vanished withen him. The euforia of the ceremony was now replaced with full fledged terror as the feeling of burning crepted through every nerve and cell of his body. Why hadnt he been told of this?, was this a trick?, was he being sacrificed?, had he been betrayed.....betrayed by the Princess?, just as the thought crossed his mind that he could stand no more the darkness returned and he awoke drenched in a cold sweat, his heart pounding withen his chest.

NEW Bates Dressage | ||||
| ||||
Quantity: | ||||
Hover over product image for additional detail. An elegant, high performance dressage saddle. Features a deep seat with a narrow and broad sitting area for greater support. Maximizes comfort and performance of your horse. Features include uniquely positioned stirrup bar, utilization of the Easy-Change Gullet System, adjustable Y-Girthing and Flexibloc Systems. In black. EASY-CHANGE Gullet System The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System is a revolution in convenience and comfort for horses and riders. It's a system developed to ensure that a saddle maintains the best fit for a horse by allowing riders to change a saddle's fit to suit a horse's changing shape. Did you know ...
You can easily determine the correct gullet width for your horse with an EASY-MEASURE Gullet Gauge. There are six gullet sizes available in the standard EASY-CHANGE Gullet System. YELLOW for Narrow, GREEN for Medium Narrow, BLACK for Medium, BLUE for Medium Wide, RED for wide or WHITE for extra wide. Available for purchase as a complete kit, or individually. WHAT IS CAIR? Finally a panel system that understands the mechanics of the equine back and the impact saddles have on horse and rider performance. The revolutionary CAIR® Cushion System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air. There are two independently sealed Air Cushions within each Saddle Panel. The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for the horse is simple. Air being a fluid medium will constantly adapt to the horse�s working muscles. This means that your weight will be distributed evenly across the entire length of the cushion, virtually eliminating pressure points. This extraordinary comfort results in freer movement, better carriage and a happier horse. For such a simple concept the dramatic difference the CAIR® Cushion System makes to a horse�s comfort and performance is profound. The CAIR® Cushion System is patented worldwide and exclusive to Bates and Wintec Saddles. Basket |

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
from my experiences z is the most stable then i would say Cryztal esp, flx, x, buzzz ss and then d.
i think mark ellis told me cryztal is just z but theres somthing special they do to the plastic i don't remember.
These are the semantics that confuse new people to the sport that are trying to understand under, over, and just stable.
Overstable means turns hard to the left rhbh (Right hand back hand) or hard right rhfh (right hand forehand)
Understable means it can be flippy or if thrown rhbh it can turn right.
Stable, I guess really means nothing, to say a disc goes dead straight I will say straight flyer. When I say more stable I mean it just hyzers to the right a little harder at end of flight.
I was saying it turns a little more to the left then the others. However If I put anhyzer on them (releasing at an angle that would force it to go right) they all will go right. A buzzz is a very straight flyer and will hold whatever angle you put it on. What I like most about it is that I can throw it as hard as I can and it wont flip over and go to the right. When I throw my Roc I have to throw 70% power to keep it going straight.

We stayed in this hotel for one week (26/4/13 - 03/05/13) on a bed and breakfast basis. It was a very nice hotel, pleasant staff and very clean.

Nice funny episode. I like that one that one pose Brock does when he gets all angry.
Do we also get to see bits of his eyes? Wow a nice episode and the main Pokemon, Sneasel and Mr.Mime. Nice way to play around with us..

LOLOriginally Posted by Alfonso
It's odd how simply wearing a black outfit made one twin (Resu) seem so much more attractive than the other twin (Toran).
I loved the Sneasel's expression's! It had so much personality! ^_^
Ample craziness, lovely fantasy scenes (Brock isn't safe from Max even in his imagination!). Ash looks like he's using Solarbeam or something...
Ton's of stuff to like in this episode, you only find bad things if you nit pick or expect something to be there that had no business being there. Really, we all would have liked some reference to the DP Sneasel/Mr. Mime counterparts but how could they have possibly fit in an evolution and baby in this episode?
Question, did Chimecho actually use a new attack? On some other screen shots it looks like the Fire Spin/Water Gun combo was stopped by a small energy shield. Then we see Chimecho, and James crying over something. So did Chimecho use an attack or did Mudkip/Combusken's attack simply somehow not reach those final few inches to the balloon?
It's almost as if they're making fun of their own repetition. The scene with shrugging off Brock's action, most TR stuff, the WAY too cheery departure segment (look at those pics, they are MUCH too happy), it all is creepy.
Confirmation on what went down with Chimecho would be much obliged.

I thought Sneasel looked too big. Sneasel should have been shorter than Mr. Mime. Sneasel's height is 2'11'', and Mr. Mime is 4'3''. Anyways, it looks like a good episode.
I still insist that showcasing both Mr. Mime and Sneasel in the same episode was far too evil of a teaser, but this looks like it was the best filler of the arc so far, mainly because it tried NOT to be serious. We need these types of comedy episodes more often, like the Claydol one.
Gotta be one of the best motto scenes ever.
Well, Magcargo's only supposed to be 2'07", and it was a friggin' giant.Originally Posted by Addydo
Thank you for all the fantastic times, Serebii Forums!
It was just the attacks not being able to reach that far.Originally Posted by Pokemon Fan
This episode was a laugh riot. My favorite part was when Mr. Mime prepared food for the gang and made it into a big show. I would have liked to have seen Ash walk into a Light Screen wall, though. There's nothing quite like some good ol' fashioned mime humor.

Well, to me it just didn't look right. Look at Harrison's Sneasel, Sneasel comes up to his knee; and this Sneasel was as tall as it's Trainer!Originally Posted by Shining Suikun
It just was not right at all. I mean, what if that Sneasel evolved in that episode, Manyula would be as tall as Blaziken!
It was supposed to be small. It was all part of them teaching Sneasel how to have "the look" like Mr. Mime's meals did. Mr. Mime had a little ice statue as a centerpiece, so they were getting Sneasel to make one too.Originally Posted by Alfonso

Add me and tell me please.
You talking about that Johto episode? It was meant to be big in that episode.Originally Posted by Shining Suikun
Besides, the drawings aren't always perfect, and some pokemon can be bigger than others.
I actually thought this was a good episode, one of the good episodes of the Battle Frontier.
Used to be Absolkid, -Absol-, Former Absolkid and Cipher Admin Absolkid!
Why on earth does Mr. Mime have so much appearances? (And why Delia have to keep it?)
I doubt its popular in Japan! (The creators like it? Or what?)
Mr. Mime is actually a rarely seen Poke, not counting Delia's of course. I can't remember the last time we've seen a Mr. Mime that didn't belong to Ash's mom. Since all that Mr. Mime does is sweep the floors and clean dishes all day, it is nice to see another one have a major role for once.
from the pics this ep looks amazing!

Do not edit your signature anymore. Please remember to read the signature rules and get your signature checked if you need help.
They didn't seem to really be "showcasing" the pokemon... this episode could've worked just as well with any number of pokemon being used.Originally Posted by Shining Suikun

Scyther vs Electabuzz! Which Restaurant? Lol
BTw, that irishy music that played when Brock was training Mr.Mime and TR were training Sneasel rocked!
I just saw this ep. I'm surprised that it was actually a very entertaining episode. It was funny and interesting. There were also plenty of avatar worthy moments in the ep...Particularly from Meowth and Sneasel...
i'd say the episode was awesome........ with Sneasel and Mr.Mime's cooking challenge or whatever
the episode made me laugh a lot of times......... also everything seemed interesting....... if i were to rate it........... it would be a 10/10
Saw the pictures looks very funny surprisingly lol Meowth has another rival poor Meowth lol. He looked scary in some screen shots really evil in others and I liked some of the Brock/Meowth interactions I'd like more please. Over all from what it looked like very funny.
Does anyone agree with me that Sneasel looked way too big in this episode!?

I didn't understand the ending. Was it Mr.Mime who won the contest? Nobody got to try thier food until then end but that was when both Pokemon were together.

Panetta calls on lame duck Congress to resolve sequestration
Pentagon makes one more plea for a resolution to sequestration. A regular budget, an annual authorization bill and a resolution to the fight over cybersecurity laws would be helpful as well.
00DOD DogMcSure, let's keep pouring TRILLIONS into "defense" so the Fed can preserve the petro-dollar hegemony, export inflation into other countries (read: arab spring) and fill the coffers of General Dynamics, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, so they can fill the coffers of U.S. reps and Senators. Course, THEY have to keep printing up more cash to keep this insane party going. 40 billion a month now, should last to at least after the election.

THe DoD Joint Chair Mullen did say a few years back that we would get to these days when we would not be able to afford to defend this nation. These cuts need to be made intellegently. The DoD has duplicative - nearly identical program offices. Just look at the bottom of any DoD web page. That is a start. There are up to 10 program offices for various NON-DEFENSE administrative duties. Couldn't these be consolidated into single programs? Rather than eliminate soldiers, eliminate the very expensive and burdensome civilians. Their salaries and benefits top $140,000 on average - nearly three times the average salary and benefits of private sector employees. Put a tighter eye on equipment and service procurement. Audit the department for once. Find the fat and the waste and the duplication and the redundancy.
