Listen to what our guests say about the villa. This is what the Dyer family who have just stayed at our villa say about the villa:-Hi Jill We just wanted to let you know we had a really lovely, peaceful and relaxing stay in your beautiful villa. The outlook over the lake and golf course was just perfect! We saw all the wildlife it's possible to see. It's quite sad to be back home, we do love the Rotonda and Gasparilla island and never tire of it! Thanks again .BEACHES If you love visiting the beach you are in the right place as the coastline comprises a series of keys or islands. In effect, giant sandbars, which have matured into a chain of islands running along the entire length of the coast. High- rise hotels are few in number and instead there is a mixture of small motels, small apartments and private residences set in lush vegetation With its clapper board houses, pristine white beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and its old world charm it really is like stepping back in time. Take a sunset boat ride with Grande Tours and spot the dolphins.SHOPPINGThere is excellent shopping in Englewood, and you are sure to find everything you need locally. For food, the Publix supermarket is only minutes away and open until very late at night and 24 hours at certain periods of the year. They have a vast range of food and wine and a deliciously inviting delicatessen. The Winn Dixie store is also nearby and they have a superb fish counter..........and you can have your lobster steamed, ready to eat! They also have a Pharmacy and Bank facilities.Port Charlotte has a new shopping mall, the Port Charlotte Town Centre. Many a satisfying afternoon can be whiled away in here should your Bank balance allow it! The most renowned of Sarasota's shopping areas is St. Armands Circle, an island of exquisite boutiques, restaurants and galleries. This park-like circle is home to over 100 shops and restaurants, which, it has to be said, are generally pricey (observe Sarasota's seriously wealthy pull up in their chauffeur driven limos!) however, it is wonderfully atmospheric in the early evening to wander around and can be combined with a trip to Siesta Key's white talcum-powder sand beach RESTAURANTSIf, like us, you love dining out, you will have come to the right place. Renowned for fresh local caught seafood, there is a vast choice of places to eat. Every kind of cuisine is catered for from Continental to Japanese. Many restaurants are at the water's edge, portions are huge and, importantly, inexpensive, so that eating out really is a pleasure! Make sure you take the short boat trip to Palm Island Resort Restaurant one evening. Palm Island is a private community with a lovely beach – which us ordinary mortals are not allowed to use! For golfers we are right next to the Long Marsh Golf Club. There are boundless places of interest to visit nearby including attractions, museums and cultural opportunities. Apart from the beaches, the boat-trips to islands and the wonderful shopping, the region abounds with State Parks where this wonderful sub-tropical Eco-system is being preserved. These parks usually incorporate nature trails, boat tours, canoe rentals, and those on island have, of course, mile upon mile of sandy beaches with great shelling. The wildlife to be enjoyed includes pelicans, egrets, pretty scarlet cardinals, red-cockaded woodpeckers, raccoons, bobcats, alligators, manatees, bald eagles, and the now sadly rare Florida black bears and panthers (though we don't see many of these last two in our back yard!).We know you will enjoy your stay in our villa and the fall in love with the surrounding area. If you want a truly special holiday contact us now.

Wexler gets good vibes from 'Hysteria'
Chicago native Tanya Wexler directed "Hysteria," which takes place in Victorian England.
Article Extras
Updated: May 29, 2012 6:52PM
Tanya Wexler clearly loves to laugh. She laughed when her producer said "I've got your next movie" and proceeded to describe how the personal vibrator was invented in Victorian England. And she still laughs about that wonderfully strange irony, years later. Some juxtapositions, it seems, never cease to amuse.
That delight shines through in "Hysteria," Wexler's first feature film in over a decade (after taking time off to start a family). The romantic comedy involves an idealistic, yet somewhat priggish young doctor (Hugh Dancy), an outrageously outspoken suffragette (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and her doctor daddy's extremely prosperous practice devoted to treating the malaise of well-to-do London ladies diagnosed with hysteria with a certain highly specialized form of massage.
And much deep denial.
Pioneer caught up with Wexler, who spent summers in Long Grove while growing up in Chicago, for a quick chat (and more than a few laughs) about famous family members (including her half-sister, '80s star Daryl Hannah), about feeling like she's starting over with each new film, and how there are worse things in life than the Victorian treatment for hysteria.
Q: Looking back, does it seem unlikely that you and your sister would both find your way into the movie business?
A: I don't know, now that you mention it. . . Maybe not. But maybe so. Our uncle was the cinematographer Haskell Wexler (who won Oscars for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "Bound for Glory") and my cousin Mark also got involved in making documentaries. When you have family in any business, it might start to look like a viable career path. But that can make it seem easier than it really is . . .
It's been hard, actually. It's taken quite a long time for me to feel that I have anything like a real career in the movies. Each project has made me feel that I'm starting over again.
Q: How much of an influence was Haskell Wexler on your career?
A: He's actually been more of an influence in terms of politics and getting out there and fighting for what you believe in. That's a big deal in our family.
I didn't really get to know him well until I was older. My dad died when I was 22, and Haskell stepped into my life more after that. He's been very, very helpful though, I must say.
When I was making my first feature, about half-way through the shoot I was horrifically miserable. It was SO hard. I'd made two shorts, so I thought, "This will just be a longer version of that." But no. Shorts are sprints. Features are marathons.
I remember crying on the phone to Haskell: "I don't want to do this anymore!" I was talking about the thing I wanted to do more than anything else my life, basically, but I wanted OUT. And he calmed me down and gave me some very basic advice: Stick by your director of photography, take deep breaths. . . (Laughs.) And that really made all the difference. Because I knew he'd been there.
Q: If your first feature was such a nightmare. . . .?
A: I guess I'm the kind of person who thinks, even if something was too hard, way too much for me, I want to try it again. Weirdly, I want to go back for more. But that's about learning, right? Once you learn how something works, you start to think about mastery.
Q: What was your first exposure to movie-making?
A: I was an actress as a kid here in Chicago. I did local commercials and stuff like that. And a few theater productions, including a pre-Broadway run of a musical when I was about 8. And I would go visit Daryl or Haskell on the set. I remember, among other things, visiting Daryl on the set of "Blade Runner." I was 12 or 13 at the time and I was going "Omigod! That's Harrison Ford! That's Han Solo!"
Q: What appealed to you most about "Hysteria"?
A: Oh, it was such an exciting idea. The first time I heard about it I laughed out loud, so I knew there was something special there.
I think the thing that makes me laugh about this movie is the denial that's going on. "Here's the truth, right in front of your face, and you can't see it." That applies to the doctors and the very-proper women who were their patients. You had this diagnosis of hysteria at the time, which was basically a catch-all diagnosis for the condition of being a woman. The condition of being a woman, that is, who doesn't fit into the very small box of what society imagined a woman was supposed to be.
If you were unhappy or upset at the limitations that were being placed on you, something was wrong with you. And the treatment consisted of doctors massaging you in a very personal way and inducing "paroxysms." Which was a pretty decent treatment, when you think about it. (Laughs.)
You know, another thing that makes this movie so funny, to me, is that we still think this topic is such a big deal.
Q: How did you make the transition from acting to directing?
A: Well, I was going to be an actor, for sure. Then, while I was taking some acting courses in LA, I wrote a short film, thinking I could be in it and work toward creating a reel. And a friend at the American Film Institute said, "We'd love to make this. You just have to take out all the shot instructions, like ' Dolly here, and over here do this and that.' So I said, 'Why?" And he said, "That's what the director does."
So, I finished up at Yale a little later and applied to film school to learn directing. In a split second (snapping her fingers) I had realized: That's what I really want to do.
Q: What do you look for, in general, when you're considering potential projects?
A: I look for actor magnets. Things that draw great actors to roles. Because I think great actors are what draw us into films. So, I look for roles actors want to play. I also look for well-written scripts, which are very hard to find.
And I think I'm also drawn, right now, not to genre, so much, as stories that have to do with unveiling identity in some way or other. What makes us who we are. What makes me, me and you, you and us, us. And what makes us different from each other. I don't know why. I'm sure that's for my shrink to know (laughs), but that's where I'm coming from.

And provided that if a member has not reached the normal retirement age of 55 years, he shall not be entitled to be paid in cash the amounts stated in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b), in which event the sums due to such member shall be —
retained in the Fund until his death or the attainment by him of the age of 55 years or his premature retirement through chronic disability or his departure from Singapore and Malaysia with the intention of taking up permanent residence elsewhere;
transferred to another approved pension or provident fund or the Central Provident Fund; or
converted into a paid-up life assurance policy maturing upon his attaining the age of 55 years or upon his prior death which policy shall be retained by the Committee until its maturity.

in the name of the trustees of the Fund and shall not be assigned by the Committee until maturity;

Well, no actually.
Just take a look at the recent project run by a group of five dedicated volunteers and a small registered training organisation at the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia's recent conference: Let's Take Charge Of Our Future.
The CBloggers Project gave 20 young community radio broadcasters from around Australia the opportunity to take on the challenge of becoming an online media maker. The 20 rose to the challenge admirably, some embracing online platforms, like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, in the context of media production for the first time. Lesser known phlogging platform iPadio was an instant hit.
Social media gives community broadcasters the opportunity to take their messages beyond their signal radii, especially in the case of rural stations. It's such a great opportunity to connect with those who share their values, appreciate their programming and showcase their talents to the world.

In a city like Tacoma that never sleeps but does enjoy an occasional afternoon nap, crime-fighters must be creative in their round-the-clock approach to fending off the bad guys.
The latest tactic: Try to reason with them, trusting in the old adage that there is honor among thieves. Or at least car prowlers.
To that end, City Councilman David Boe this week advised anyone within sound of his wise architect's voice to hang a yellow tag from their rearview mirror, courtesy of the Tacoma Safe and Clean initiative.
"STOP thief!" the hanger warns, or rather pleads. "There are NO VALUABLES in this vehicle." It then lists things that are not inside the car, such as money, purse, briefcase, cellphone and iPad.
We think this is a boffo idea – the best crime-deterrent message since "Baby on Board Carries No Cash!"
All that's missing is the word "please," because most thieves just want to be asked nicely.
Scumbags in the 253 also appreciate full disclosure, so we're going to customize our hanging tag with a list of items that can be found in the Nosemobile. An emergency egg-salad sandwich in the glovebox. A pair of smelly tube socks from last month's workout at the Y. Mrs. Nose's Kenny G CDs. (Please, please take them, Mr. Prowler, sir!)
Unfortunately, we have rotten luck and smart-aleck punks in our 'hood. One of them is bound to smash a window and take nothing – except the warning hanger on our rearview mirror.
Thieves have feelings, too: Boe likes to brag that he's been pedaling all over T-Town for Bike to Work Week. He must be hanging his yellow tag on his handlebars.
Displaying it in your car, he said at Tuesday's council meeting, is a way to tell criminals: "Don't waste your time."
To which Mayor Marilyn Strickland added sagely: "It does require that you do not have any valuables in your locked car."
Good point, mayor. Imagine the feeling of betrayal if the crooks discovered later that a car owner violated his end of the social contract.
More signs of the times: Tacoma Public Utilities could hang a "Stop Thief!" tag on its reserve fund. The Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center could do the same with its parking fund.
Maybe that would keep the city from raiding them again.
Why stop there? Let's put giant yellow "no valuables here!" stickers on all the exit ramp signs along the freeway in Tacoma.
Out-of-town bandits will just keep driving past!
Where'd we put the compass? The Schnoz likes a good romp in the woods as much as any urban outbacker – the feel of the wind in our hair, the sun on our back.
And yet we've never considered taking those sensations to the next level by taking a hike wearing nothing but a smile. Naked as a bigleaf maple in January.
For one thing, there's the chafing. For another, losing car keys in the backcountry is hazard enough when we have pockets to keep them in.
But if nudist hiking is an activity you and your free-bird pals would like to try, the 2012 observance of National Trails Day has an opportunity about 70 miles northeast of Tacoma. The Washington State Patrol presumably would like you to wait to disrobe until you reach the trail.
The family friendly, clothing-optional hike is set for June 2 at The Lake Bronson Family Nudist Park in Sultan. The 3.5-mile jaunt doesn't start until 1 p.m., giving the forest a chance to warm up – and you a chance to wise up. Entry is free because … well, where are you gonna put your wallet?
What are you staring at? Organizers say nude hikers should expect a background check. Which sounds like an official way of warning that some lookyloos might check you out from behind.
Of course, you could always play it safe on Trails Day and hike (or join a work party) close to home, such as at Mount Rainier National Park. Clothing definitely required. Unless you're Bigfoot.
More natural fun: REI has planned a Trails Day event in Tacoma. At Titlow Park. If an off-color joke creeps into your mind right now, that's your problem.

When I think about the title - "Does cell size affect the fermentation of pollen?", I wonder if anyone has noticed bees favoring a larger or smaller cell size for the storage of pollen in natural comb?
Natural comb varies in terms of cell size. So if cell size affected fermentation, then we might find bees choosing a particular size range.

U.S. Century Bank has signed off on its deal to recapitalize with cash from a high-profile group of local investors, allowing the Doral bank to remain independent.
The investment team, led by brothers Jimmy and Kenny Tate of Tate Capital, Sergio Rok of Rok Enterprises and Jorge Perez of Related Group, has expertise in buying distressed assets and promises to fortify U.S. Century to give it a financial foundation for success.
We believe that our group, coupled with the additional investors were bringing in, will prove to be the proper brain trust needed in order to clean up the past and build a beautiful bank in the future, said Jimmy Tate, 49.
The handpicked group is composed of about 10 prominent South Florida business leaders with substantial experience, who will each be making a significant investment, said Tate, who did not yet have their approvals to name them all, but said he hopes to soon.
They are the leading businessmen in South Florida, and they are philanthropic, and they have South Florida at heart, he said. And they are very excited about this endeavor because they believe, as I believe, that there is a strong demand for a well-capitalized community bank that serves the banking needs of the local community.
As part of the deal, the group will pump $50 million in capital into U.S. Century, becoming majority owners. In addition, the group will pay about $90 million to buy certain loans, including all $98 million of U.S. Centurys non-performing loans. The deal will also provide for a negotiated amount of more than $5 million to be paid to the federal government for U.S. Centurys $50.2 million in TARP funds, said U.S. Century President and Chief Executive Carlos J. Dávila.
I certainly think this will be a very positive transaction for all the major stakeholders, meaning the community, the shareholders and our employees, Dávila said.
U.S. Centurys 441 existing shareholders will remain as stockholders, though their percentage of ownership will shrink. Those shareholders will have the option to invest additional capital along with the new group, Dávila said.
The deal is the culmination of years of searching for capital for struggling U.S. Century, whose agreement to be bought by C1 Bank of St. Petersburg was called off by C1 in December.
U.S. Century, a Hispanic-oriented bank that opened in 2002, has been operating under a regulatory consent order since June 2011, which has mandated that it raise capital, among other issues.
The new deal, which is now under a signed letter of intent, should bring the bank close to regulators requirement of an 8 percent capital ratio, Dávila said.
For a bank that is in distress or under a consent order where there is a requirement to raise capital, the terms and conditions of this deal are extremely reasonable and fair for the existing shareholders, he said.
Furthermore, U.S. Century, with $1 billion in assets and 24 branches, now will get a new shot at life as one of the only remaining locally owned community banks of its size. Others, like City National Bank of Florida and BankAtlantic have been sold in recent years to foreign owners or larger U.S. banks.
Tate and his team have been working on the deal since January, after first making an unsolicited offer while the C1 deal was under way.

Huntley Harvestors members of today and yesteryear plan a dinner and program to mark the 65th anniversary of this 4-H club, a club rich in memories, in achievements and in the development of out¬ standing young men and women. The celebration will be on Sunday, June 30 at the McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. The committee is now seeking all past members and leaders to join in this milestone anniversary. Elmer and Rae Meyer and Bill and Rosemary Becker, leaders of this remarkable 4-H club, are organizing this celebration but anticipate plenty of help from present and former members. In fact, Rae Meyer issues a call for former members and leaders to contact her or Rosemary Becker to help line up all possible Huntley Harvestors. "When people come forward to tell us their interest in this celebration, we can use their contacts to find others who may not hear about it. We know Harvestors are all over the country, and through the years 4-H'ers maintain contact with one another. We think this will be a good way to locate our alumni," said Rae. The Huntley Harvestors is the oldest 4-H club in McHenry County. Achievements at the McHenry County Fair, Illinois State Fair and earning recognition at the 4-H Club Congress mark the Huntley Harvestors' 65 years. In judging, for example, the Harvestors have frequently had a member on a state judging team, such as: Lynette and Monica Fettes, | horticultlure; Tim Acker, Todd Manke and Brian Wesemann, dairy; and Amy Meyer, meats. Todd Manke, Jodi Manke, and Theresa Becker have attended the National Dairy Conference. Monica Fettes and Amy Meyer won at the state level and were chosen to attend the 4-H Club Congress. Community service involve¬ ment is a hallmark of the Harvestors. The club meets at a local church. As an expression of appreciation for the hospitality, members have given Christmas wreaths, wrought iron outdoor porch railing, lucite music stand and two bicycle racks to the church. Five years ago the Harvestors honored their longtime leader, Henry Marlowe, by purchasing a fiberglass flagpole it bronse marker. They conducted a ceremony to install them at the entrance to Old Timers Park in Huntley. Club members have conducted many fund-raisers to sponsor trips to such places as the Henry Ford Museum, Disney World, and Springfield. A Softball team has been a prominent club activity. A Harvestors team has earned trips three times to the state finals. A major factor in the success of the Harvestors has been a strong, involved leadership. Soon after Henry and Helen Marlowe came to Huntley in 1931, both became involved in 4-H, and Henry assumed club leadership. He held that position for many years. Bill it Rosemary Becker are among his 4-H pupils.

The program is offering approximately 30 wild burros that are age one to 12 years old. The adoptions are available on a first come first serve basis and cost $125.00.
In April the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced an operational change in the purpose of the Salt Lake Regional Wild Horse and Burro Center from a large year-round wild horse and burro holding facility to a smaller, short term holding facility.
The center was originally designed to hold horses only during the summer season when it opened in 1995. A few years later, the BLM had more wild horses than capacity to house them. Now there are two other facilities in Utah and more around the Nation that are better suited to hold horses and burros year-round. Due primarily to lower holding costs, it is the direction of the Wild Horse and Burro Program WH&B) to place horses in long term holding pastures located in the Midwest rather than holding them in short term corral type facilities. In 2007, a team charged with looking at all the BLM horse facilities throughout the west, recommended closing the Salt Lake Horse Center because of the change in direction of the program and additional facilities.
The change in the use of the facility is related, in part to criticism the BLM received last year, charging that the horses were standing in knee deep mud. This criticism prompted an internal review of the Center. The internal review did not find animal abuse, however, the report did recommend that the Salt Lake Field Office (SLFO) hire an agricultural engineer to review the situation and consider options regarding the future of the Center. The engineer concluded that due to the geographic location of the site, there was not an affordable engineering solution.
The BLM was not able to provide the desired standard of care at the Center and to retrofit the Center would have required a substantial capital investment. "It is simply a business decision to reduce the number of horses at the Center and redirect the horse program in Salt Lake," said Jill Silvey, Salt Lake Field Manager.
The SLFO will continue to have a Wild Horse program. The program will continue to manage the two Herd Management Areas within the Field Office, hold adoption events and provide service to adopters. Periodic adoption events will be offered at the Center and the SLFO will continue to hold adoptions throughout the Wasatch front.
Next week's burro adoption in Herriman is the first on-site satellite adoption. Anyone wanting more information regarding the burro adoption should contact Tami Howell, Salt Lake WH&B Lead at (801) 977-4359.
The mid-20th century harvesting of wild horses for commercial purposes induced a Reno, Nevada, secretary – Velma Johnston – to begin a campaign that led to passage of a 1959 law to protect these iconic animals. While driving to work one day in 1950, Ms. Johnston noticed blood leaking from a livestock truck. She followed it and discovered that horses were being delivered to a slaughterhouse. Ms. Johnston responded with a massive letter-writing campaign by students to prevent other wild horses from meeting a similar end. The campaign became known as the "Pencil War" and Ms. Johnston was affectionately dubbed "Wild Horse Annie."
Follow-up efforts resulted in the enactment of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, the landmark law that directs Federal management of wild horses and burros on U.S. public lands.
The Act declares wild horses and burros to be "living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West." Under the law, the BLM and U.S. Forest Service manage herds in their respective jurisdictions within areas where wild horses and burros were found roaming in 1971.
To help carry out its assignment, the BLM established the Wild Horse and Burro Program , through which the agency manages and protects wild horses and burros, both on and off the range, while striving to maintain rangeland health.
For anyone interested in adopting, please contact the Delta Wild Horse & Burro Facility at 435-864-4068 or the Gunnison WH&B Prison Facility at 435-287-7591 or visit our web-site at blm.gov/ut

The most complicated neighborhood in the world is even more uncertain these days, and what you see ranges from breathtaking to heart-stopping.
In Ramallah, West Bank, there are fancier cars and more economic activity than when I last visited five years ago.
That isn't the only big change: In the early days of the Obama presidency the new American president inspired hope across the Arab world. Now, there are posters and protests critical of the president, and some harsh words from everyday Palestinians.
Gaza, though, makes Ramallah look like a booming metropolis. It takes only a few yards past the Hamas checkpoint to wonder whether you stepped through a time portal: There are carts drawn by donkeys and horses, and poverty that makes you cringe.
In Gaza City, a billboard reminds you only fools get optimistic about prospects for peace here: It is a celebration of the Hamas military wing that is responsible for, among other things, rocket attacks in Israeli communities.
It doesn't have to be this way: We visited a soda bottling plant and a furniture factory that offer economic hope. But the owners of both say employment is way down -- from 150 people to 20 at the furniture factory -- because they can no longer export through Israel and have trouble getting supplies.
Just about everyone in Gaza blames Israel. But several passersby, after nervously looking around, also told me Hamas shared some of the blame for making peace such a distant hope.
This will linger: the smiles and jokes from children who came to say hello and get some candy from my CNN colleague Tasha Diakides. Their eyes still sparkle with hope, a counterbalance to the violent graffiti and posters that make one worry if the leaders here can ever set aside their hate and mistrust.
This is my ninth visit to Israel in the past 25 years, and I'm always reminded of college and my first reporting job in Rhode Island: Everything is so close.
Gaza to Jerusalem is just shy of 50 miles.

Jeep Mopar
December 15, 2011 by Larson Automotive Group · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Aftermarket , SUV , Jeep Jeep enthusiasts have been asking for a Wrangler pickup for years, and 2011 is the year they finally got their wish – at least in kit form . The only thing that could keep the JK-8 Independence kit from being a success is the $5,499 price, which doesn't include assembly. But it appears that the serious Jeep fans are all-in, and Mopar is stepping up to meet demand. Wards Auto reports that Mopar's original estimate of 200-300 kit sales was trumped by 400 dealer orders. Team Mopar is reportedly stepping up to meet the demand, as President Pietro Gorlier tells WA that more kits are on the way. Gorlier adds that Mopar continues to be cautious about sales expectations in part because the kits are so large and difficult for dealers to store in any real numbers. Early demand for the kits, which is also available for the Wrangler Unlimited , also shows Chrysler that a next-generation Wrangler truck could take the market by storm. Gorlier points out that Jeep President Mike Manley has gone on record as saying that the next redesign of the Wrangler could include a pickup option, though no definite plans have been announced.

2013 Dodge Dart
December 8, 2011 by Larson Automotive Group · Leave a Comment
Filed under: Hatchback , Chrysler , Dodge Dodge might have teased us with a few images and some initial powertrain details on the 2013 Dart , but Fiat and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has provided even more in an interview with Reuters . According to Marchionne, the Dart is one piece of a larger puzzle for Chrysler in 2013, and the all-new Dart – based off a widened and stretched Alfa Romeo Giulietta – will hit 40 mpg thanks to a host of new engines and transmissions. As previously reported , the turbocharged 1.4-liter MultiAir fitted to the Fiat 500 Abarth will grace the top of the Dart range, but Dodge also plans to fit modified versions of the 2.0 and 2.4-liter World Gas Engine, comically rebranded as the Tigershark. When the Dart debuts, a Fiat-sourced six-speed dual-clutch transmission will feed the front wheels, but later in 2013 Dodge will reportedly offer a nine-speed automatic gearbox supplied by the ZF Group and manufactured in South Carolina. ZF officials claim fuel economy will be boosted between 10 to 16 percent over the dual-clutch 'box, and that should put it handily in the 40 mpg range. And that last bit is important, as Fiat will receive its final five percent of Chrysler stock from the feds when it produces a vehicle with a 40-mpg rating.

2012 Passat Alltrack

Filed under: Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , Plants/Manufacturing , Chrysler , Ford , GM , UAW/Unions According to a top researcher, labor costs for salaried employees at Chrysler , Ford and General Motors will surpass those of workers represented by the United Auto Workers for the first time next year. A report in Automotive News says the calculation was performed by the Center for Automotive Research (CAR), and made public at a recent conference. Sean McAlinden, chief economist for CAR, explained the math like this. The Big Three's 66,000 salaried employees make an average of $122,500, or just over $8 billion in wages. That's a little more than the $7.9 billion that 115,000 hourly workers will take home at roughly $69,000 each. Until 2009, McAlinden said, hourly employment had a decisive edge in total compensation, but plant closings and a paring down of the blue collar workforce have left salaried employees accounting for about 37 percent of the Big Three's American workers. Is this just another sign of a shrinking UAW, or something more significant? It's hard to say, but the article hints that salaried workers could be the next targets for cost-cutting: "McAlinden said a recent pledge by General Motors CEO Dan Akerson to cut vehicle platforms by half and consolidate advertising with fewer agencies recognized that salaried labor costs are mounting."

Filed under: Marketing/Advertising , Chevrolet , Chrysler , GM , Jeep , Kia If you ask us, this 25 Hottest Products for 2011 list in Advertising Age isn't exactly packed with automotive excitement. But with Dove soap, Malt-O-Meal, and Goldfish crackers also claiming spots, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that it's a Chevrolet Cruze , rather than a Camaro headlining the "America's Hottest Brands" issue. Besides the Cruze, the venerable sister pub to Automotive News points out the Kia Soul and Jeep Wrangler , seemingly more for their marketing campaigns than anything else. Kia's hamster ads are legendary, while Jeep's marketing deal with the Call of Duty video game franchise has proven successful. The Cruze, on the other hand, is an actual hit for General Motors – topping 200,000 sales through October, and ranking as the company's top-selling car. While that certainly makes the Cruze worthy of recognition, sales have begun to cool now that its newness is wearing off. While GM's marketers can give themselves a brief pat on the back for making the list, clearly they still have work to do if they want to land on the 2012 version of the Ad Age list.

Filed under: Car Buying , Etc. , Audi , GMC , Jeep , Lexus , Subaru , Volkswagen ALG has released its annual Resale Value Awards. For 2012, Subaru took home the home the honor of being the top mainstream brand, while Lexus nabbed the top luxury automaker designation. ALG says that once again, Japanese automakers have performed better than their American and European counterparts when it comes to resale. Of the 21 total ALG awards, 11 went to Japanese manufacturers, though Audi bucked that trend by being the single automaker to take home the most awards. Domestic manufacturers, meanwhile, are scarcely represented in the honors. Only the GMC Acadia and Jeep Wrangler received nods for 2012. ALG weighs each vehicle based on past performance, industry trends and segment competition. There were some surprises for 2012 – interestingly enough, ALG skipped the Toyota Prius in the hybrid/alternative powertrain segment in favor of the Volkswagen Golf TDI , and the Subaru Legacy took home the nod in the mid-sized category instead of either the Honda Accord or the Toyota Camry . Hit the jump for the full press release.

Special arctic Jeeps
November 17, 2011 by Larson Automotive Group · Leave a Comment
Filed under: LA Auto Show , SUV , Jeep Jeep may not have anything big to show us here in Los Angeles, but that doesn't mean the automaker has arrived empty-handed. New for 2012, Jeep has released special Arctic Editions of both the Wrangler and Liberty SUVs, and the icy duo make their debut here at the LA Auto Show . On both models, the Arctic package adds semi-gloss wheels – the Wrangler receiving 17-inch rollers while the Liberty makes due with 16s – as well as special paint, Arctic badging and a decidedly tacky Yeti footprint decal. Inside, there are some minor aesthetic tweaks, including white accent fabrics, orange piping on the seats and, of course, more badging. Check out both of the special Jeeps in our attached high-res image gallery. 2012 Jeep Wrangler and Liberty Arctic Editions chill out in sunny SoCal originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:29:00 EST.
