Used Car Review
2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner: Used Car Review
For 2003, Toyota sized up and up marketed its popular midsize 4Runner SUV, giving it a bigger exterior, a slightly more roomy interior and a host of new safety and powertrain options. The 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner remains a very truck-like prospect, riding atop the same body-on-frame architecture as the Tacoma pickup truck line. In the 4Runner, Toyota offers a choice of V6 or V8 engines, rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive (4WD) and a choice of a 4- or 5-speed automatic transmission. Added to the upgrade is a third row seat option, although the small space it occupies doesn't offer true 2-passenger seating and leaves almost no cargo space. Renowned for its durability and longevity, the 4Runner is a favorite among off-road enthusiasts as well as urban dwellers, which means that a used model, even with high mileage, still commands a pretty high price.
Why You Want It
If you truly use an SUV for its intended purpose -- that being the dual role as daily family transport and weekend off-road warrior -- then the 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner is an excellent choice. Its 4WD system is tough enough to take on grueling terrain, yet sophisticated enough to be used on paved surfaces at highway speeds. Power comes from a potent V6 or an optional V8 that, on early models, has less horsepower than the V6 but far more torque. Unfortunately, neither engine is easy on fuel, so be prepared for some pretty hefty monthly gas bills. On the other hand, the 4Runner's reputation for low cost maintenance and long term durability should save you a bundle in repairs, something many of the 4Runner's domestic competitors from this time period can't promise. With room for four adults or seven in total with the third row seat, the 4Runner is a great family wagon loaded with safety features as well as modern conveniences. Best of all, the 4Runner can tow up to 7,300 pounds (V8 engine), leaving most crossover SUVs in the dust. And, for those old enough to remember dad's old family station wagon, the 4Runner's power rear window will bring back memories (and gas fumes), but it makes loading long and bulky items much more convenient.
Notable Features & Options
There are three trims that make up the 4Runner line: SR5, Sport and Limited. The SR5, though basic, still comes with a host of features including power windows, locks and mirrors, electronic traction and stability control, Downhill Assist Control, Hill Start Assist, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, automatic transmission, air-conditioning, an AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo, 16-inch steel wheels, cruise control, a rear wiper/washer and side running boards. The Sport gains 17-in alloy wheels, fog lights, a roof rack, 8-way power driver's and 4-way power passenger seat, a tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio controls, interior rear quarter panel blind spot mirrors and a sporty hood scoop. The Limited adds leather seating, automatic climate control, an 115-volt outlet, 18-in alloy wheels, heated front seats and premium audio.
Options vary by trim and include 4WD, a locking center differential, JBL audio, GPS navigation radio, a rear backup camera, flip-up third row seating, front side impact and curtain side airbags (later made standard), a rear seat DVD entertainment system, a power glass moonroof and an off-road package.
Model Milestones
2004 - A third row seat is made available on Sport and Limited models and a rear backup camera is added to the available navigation system. V8 Limited models offer a rear air spring suspension.
2005 - The V8 engine gains 35 additional horsepower for total of 270 hp. A new 5-speed transmission is made standard on V6 trims.
2006 - The 4Runner gets a slight makeover, with a new grille and headlight treatment and restyled interior instrument cluster. Limited models now roll on 18-in wheels and an auxiliary audio input jack is made standard.
2007 - No major changes were made.
2008 - Side curtain airbags are now standard on all trims.
2009 - The SR5 AWD can be equipped with a Trail Edition package that includes locking rear differential, Bilstein shocks, Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), water resistant seat fabric and a new Tom-Tom navigation radio with Bluetooth, iPod integration and detachable GPS screen.
Engines and Performance
The standard engine for the 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner is a 4.0-liter V6 that makes 236 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. 2003-2004 models use a 4-speed automatic transmission, but after 2005 all 4Runners have a 5-speed automatic. Fuel economy for this engine is not great. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rating is 16 miles per gallon city/21 mpg highway for the 2WD models and 16 mpg city/20 mpg hwy for 4WD. Optional on the Sport and Limited is a 4.7-liter V8 that, from 2003-2004, produced 235 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque and after 2005 bumps up to 270 hp and 330 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy for the V8 is rated at 15 mpg city/19 mpg hwy for the 2WD model and 14 mpg city/17 mpg hwy with 4WD.
As for the 4Runner's road manners, we found that this rugged SUV performs pretty much as one might expect. There is plenty of road and tire noise in the cabin, the handling is tenuous at best with lots of lean and roll in sharp turns, and the steering is somewhat heavy and vague. Off-road, the 4Runner shines, with a hi-lo transfer case, locking rear differential, and hill assent and descent controls that allow better control when climbing or descending steep grades. V6 models have a more sophisticated 4WD system with a multi-mode selectable setting including 2WD, while the V8s offer a basic full-time 4WD setup. Tow ratings are 5,000 pounds for the V6 model, 7,000 pounds for the 4WD V8 and 7,300 pounds for the 2WD V8.
Recalls, Safety Ratings and Warranties
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued the following recalls for the 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner.
2003 - A recall was issued for a possible defective fuel rail assembly damper on V6 models that could leak and lead to a fire.
2003-2009 - The 4Runner was recalled for possible problems involving a sticking accelerator pedal that could lead to unintended sudden acceleration.
2005-2009 - A recall was issued for some 4Runners processed in the southeast and gulf states that have improper load carrying capacity modification labels.
2009 - A recall was issued for a possible problem with the front seat airbag sensor calibration following dealer installed items such as leather seat covers and seat heaters.
Recall repairs are required by law even if the vehicle is out of warranty. Your dealer can check to see if the repairs were performed and if not, will fix the car at no charge to you.
We should note that the 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner was included in the recall related to uncontrolled acceleration in Toyota vehicles. While there was much media coverage and Toyota recalled nearly 8 million cars, an exhaustive study by both NASA engineers and the NHTSA could find no flaws with the electronics in Toyota vehicles.
As for safety, the 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner earns good marks from the government, scoring four out of five stars for the driver and passenger in the front-end crash test and five stars in the side-impact crash test. However, the 4Runner earns only three stars in the rollover roof strength test. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gives the 4Runner its best score of Good in both the offset front-end crash test and the side-impact crash test (when equipped with side curtain airbags).
The 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner has a 3-year/36,000 mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty. Extended warranties purchased when the car was new are transferable, so be sure to inquire if the vehicle you are buying has an extended plan. Toyota also offers a line of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles through its dealerships. If you purchase a Certified Pre-Owned 4Runner, the warranty coverage for the powertrain is extended to 7-years/100,000 miles from the vehicle's original in service date. CPO cars also come with a 12-month/12,000 mile comprehensive warranty, one year of roadside assistance and a free CARFAX report. Best of all, Certified customers are eligible for standard new car financing rates. Vehicles that qualify for the CPO program cannot be older than six years or have more than 85,000 miles on the odometer. To learn more about the Toyota CPO program, visit their website at www.toyotacertified.com.
Word on the Web
Consumer advocacy sites like ConsumerReports.org give the 2003-09 Toyota 4Runner excellent ratings in every category save for the brakes, which have only an average rating. There were also some issues with paint quality and the audio systems in model years 2008 and 2009. Enthusiast off-road sites such as 4Runnerforums.com and Toyota-4Runner.org are filled with praise for the 4Runner's ability as well as endless threads detailing interior and exterior upgrades, suspension modifications and off-road adventuring. When you buy a 4Runner, it's like joining an exclusive club of off-road maniacs. We couldn't find any complaints of note other than some mention of premature brake wear and lots of comparisons between the V6 and V8 4WD system. Most favor the V6, as the engine gets better fuel economy and the 4WD can be manually switched to 2WD for city driving and better fuel economy. The V8 system is a permanently engaged 4WD.
Competitive Set
Jeep Grand Cherokee: The Grand Cherokee can match the 4Runner for power, towing and off-road prowess, but it doesn't offer as much interior room or a third row seat option, and its repair and reliability ratings fall far, far below those of the 4Runner.
Ford Explorer: The Explorer offers a smoother and quieter ride and can also be equipped with a power-folding third row seat. But the Explorer is not very good when off-road and its V6 isn't as powerful or fuel efficient as the 4Runner.
Nissan Pathfinder: The Pathfinder became softer in this year range, more about comfort and urban commuting over snow-covered roads than true off-road adventuring. But, that's not to say that the Pathfinder can't tackle mud and gravel. It offers a flush-folding third row seat but its V6, while more powerful than the 4Runner's V6, is the only engine option.
Auto Trader Recommendations
If we had to pick one trim, we'd go with the Sport. Its options are more to our liking yet we wouldn't be afraid to get it dirty or even a little scratched when off-roading. The V8 seems like overkill to us and we like the V6's 4WD multimode settings better than the full-time setup of the V8. Pick any year and you'll be fine, but be sure early models have the optional side curtain airbags onboard.

Understanding Heart Failure
The heart is a muscle. It pumps blood containing oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
We need oxygen and nutrients to work……to eat…and even to rest.
Normally, the heart pumps enough blood to all the parts of your body.
But when you have heart failure, your heart is weakened, and pumps less blood.
When this happens, your body tries to help the heart pump more blood by releasing chemicals, called hormones, which make the heart bigger.
But over time, this actually weakens your heart more, and it pumps even less blood.
If your body does not get enough blood, it begins holding onto fluid. Slowly the fluid begins building up. This is called edema, and is the cause of many heart failure symptoms.
Shortness of breath, one of most alarming symptoms of heart failure, is caused by fluid build-up in the lungs.
Swelling and loss of your appetite are other symptoms of heart failure.
They can occur if fluid buildup in the feet, legs, hands, face and abdomen. Heart failure can also make you feel very tired.
That's because the parts of your body are not getting the blood they need to work properly. The weaker your heart gets, the worse these symptoms become.
If they get too bad, you may need to go to the hospital.

ReleasesBack to
Charles Tolliver
On the first new release from the Mosaic subsidiary of Blue Note, veteran trumpeter Tolliver finally makes the long awaited big-band recording of the group that has played occasionally in New York City, revived from the remnants of his legendary '70s Music Inc. Orchestra. A bit of the old repertoire ("Mournin' Variations" and "Right Now") and a few former members (Billy Harper, Howard Johnson, Stanley Cowell, Cecil McBee) remain from the group that made powerful albums for the Strata East label. The current 16-piece ensemble, at least for this two-day session, has a rougher edge. The music is exciting, joyous, exuberant, and upbeat, but also displays a dense, sometimes messy persona, and has intonation issues. It makes the music less attractive and inconsistent. But the high points are way up in the stratosphere. "Right Now," most familiar to Tolliver fans, roars in modal juggernaut fashion, laden with staccato accents and deft call-and-response. The singing, sweet title cut gives those not familiar with the raucous dynamic the band usually portrays something more centered and singularly melodic. "Mournin' Variations" is the showstopper: as Craig Handy's oriental-flavored flute line, accented by clarinet and bass clarinet, leads to deep counterpoint, Harper's familiar distinctive and robust tenor soloing, witty trombone from Stafford Hunter, and the always poignant and placid pianistics of the brilliant Cowell.Tolliver's bold arrangement, replete with up-and-down dynamics during "'Round Midnight," indicates this band is not fooling around, and playing for keeps. The closer, a new piece "Hit the Spot," is typically kinetic, and a feature for the always spot-on drumming of Victor Lewis, joined by Handy's clean alto saxophone. This CD was nominated in 2007 for a Grammy award as Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album.

Pope to meet with cardinals investigating leaks
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI is getting a briefing from the three cardinals he appointed in April to investigate a series of leaked Vatican documents that have cast the top governance of the Catholic Church in a poor light.
The cardinals were given a broad mandate to interview Vatican officials across the board to get to the bottom of the leaks and report back to the pope. They are working separately from a criminal probe headed by the pope's top bodyguard, a former Italian secret service agent who heads the Vatican police force.
So far only one person has been arrested in the case: the pope's butler, Paolo Gabriele, a 46-year-old father of three who was arrested May 23 and accused of aggravated theft after reams of papal documents were found in his Vatican City apartment.
He is to undergo a new round of interrogation next week by the investigating judge after a week-long hiatus.
The Vatican said Saturday that Benedict would meet later in the day with the commission investigating the leaks. It is headed by one of the Vatican's top legal heavyweights: Cardinal Julian Herranz, an Opus Dei prelate who led the Vatican's legal office as well as the disciplinary commission of the Vatican bureaucracy before retiring.
The leaks scandal broke in January when Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi revealed letters from a former top Vatican administrator who begged the pope not to transfer him for having exposed alleged corruption that cost the Holy See millions of euros (dollars) in higher contract prices. The prelate was transferred and is now the Vatican's U.S. ambassador.
The scandal widened over the following months with documents leaked to Italian journalists that laid bare power struggles inside the Vatican over its efforts to show greater financial transparency and comply with international norms to fight money laundering.
The scandal reached a peak last month when Nuzzi published an entire book based on a trove of new documentation, including personal correspondence to and from the pope and his private secretary, much of which painted the Vatican secretary of state in a negative light.

Recall proponents' analysis of response times is not accurate
To residents of the Evergreen Fire Protection District:
Bipartisan effort needed to find ways to reduce gun violence
Recall is being pushed over a single non-issue
Burn building raises serious questions
Regarding the "firestorm" over the proposed burn building, some questions come to mind.
Recall petitioners represent fraction of fire district residents
Signers of recall petitions should pay for election
Enough, already! The 450 signers of the petitions to recall the fire board members should have to pay for the recall they want. At an estimated $70,000, that would be approximately $155.55 per signer. Cough up, people! Anyone who votes against the recall or does not sign the petition should not have to pay for it.

SRC's Holiday Food Drive a success, thanks to local supporters
The Seniors' Resource Center in Evergreen recently completed its annual Holiday Food Drive. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of local volunteers, schools, churches and groups, 144 holiday food boxes were delivered to seniors and adults with disabilities in the Evergreen, Conifer, Idaho Springs and Gilpin County communities.

Hello Everyone, I am a WAHM for the past 18 months. I have 3 children all under the age of 3. Working from home was so hard at first and I was scared to death. I had to take care of my kids and build my business. I am so glad I made that decision. I took my very small investment and my willingness to be open to new ideas and take a chance and I now run a very profitable telecommunications business. It was that easy. Easy as 123. I was so excited that I tell every one about it. It's like a no brainer for me. You either want to make some money and change you financial picture or you don't. I think the biggest thing that stops people is fear because it almost stopped me.
Sometimes we just have to take a chance and step out on faith. I am not saying it will always be easy because you are building your business. You are investing in you and your future. I think I am doing well because of the support, the fabulous training that was given by the company, and of course the wide variety of products and services that EVERYONE uses everyday. Go for it and don't give up. If you are searching for a direction or need some help feel free to e-mail me. email@example.com

Resilience is an "inner strength" that helps you bounce back after stressful situations. When you are resilient, you may recover more quickly from setbacks or difficult changes, including illness.
Developing resilience begins with simple actions or thoughts that you practice, such as planning for what you'll do next and learning to accept change.
Being resilient doesn't mean that you find it easy to deal with difficult or stressful situations or that you won't feel angry, sad, or worried during tough times. But it does mean that you won't feel so overwhelmed. You'll be less likely to give up and more likely to cope with stressful situations in healthy ways.
Part of resilience is how you think. Your mind can have a positive or negative effect on your body. This is called the mind-body connection.
For example, negative emotions, such as worry and stress, can cause tense muscles and pain, headaches, and stomach problems. But having a positive outlook on life might help you better handle pain or stress than someone who is less hopeful.
People who are resilient often work to have a positive outlook on life. It may take gradual, small changes in your outlook on life and careful self-evaluation. You may be able to begin this shift on your own. A counselor or therapist can also help you.
Here are some tips to get started:
Change how you think
Change how you act

Taking into consideration renovating an office environment devoid of any skilled aid maximizes the chances of committing highly-priced pitfalls and problems. As inside building extremely relies upon about the art of visualization, you will find likelihood that the office environment area will not prove to generally be the best way you've got visualized it. Under that condition, it will either necessarily mean compromising over the glimpse and truly feel with the office environment or paying out extra money in redesigning the actual place. Quite the opposite, an experienced inside designer backed by industry know-how, expertise and experience can make far more informed choices, hence staying away from costly errors.

You can't keep a good commando down, especially when he's got a bionic arm with a grappling hook attached to it. Capcom is resurrecting the classic platformer Bionic Commando with an all-new game for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, and we were treated to a brief demo of a few levels of the game by producer Ben Judd at this year's Game Developers Conference.
As you might have guessed, Capcom isn't spending loads of money creating an all-new 2D side-scroller (although a game based on the NES classic is being prepared for a spring release on Xbox Live Arcade). This latest Commando is a third-person action-adventure being developed by Swedish developer GRIN, most recently responsible for the PC versions of the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter games.
Set ten years after the last game, America has suffered a massive depression and the country has fractured. A new country called the Federal States of America has emerged. Your character, Nathan Spencer (we're not sure if he's officially related to the Radd Spencer of the classic title) is initially sent to do some recon work before finding himself in far more dangerous situations.
Despite the new perspective, the main hook for your character remains, literally, his hook. Your left arm has been replaced with a bionic arm and a grappling hook, which allows you to swing almost anywhere, not unlike the recent Spider-Man games. In early levels there won't be a ton of vertical architecture, so you'll have time to get the hang of swinging around a city or over chasms and such.
As we were eventually shown, there's a variety of cool stuff possible with the grappling hook. Everything is physics-based, so you can swing back and forth and build momentum in any direction you choose. You can hook certain items in the environment, like medium-sized rocks (they'll have a subtle highlight to indicate they're interactive), and fling them at enemies. You can also perform special moves on enemies like the zip-kick, where you attach your grapple to an enemy, reel yourself in quickly and give them a good kick in the face when you land.
The main level shown was set in a jungle area, and came across as sort of a mix of Spider-Man and Far Cry, with lots of open-area swinging from tree to tree, occasionally dropping down to shoot bad guys. Yep, there's shooting, too, although it didn't look nearly as much fun as swinging around with the bionic arm. As Judd explained, so much time and effort went into getting the swinging mechanics right -- which included the potentially controversial decision to let the main character jump (which wasn't the case with the 2D side-scrolling version) -- that the shooting aspects took a temporary back seat. Luckily they are now shaping up.
To finish out the level we were shown a boss battle against a biomech (described as the next evolution of your bionic technology) where you'd be bounced around if you tried to grapple the boss from the front. In this case, you had to do a lot of nimble jumping to let the biomech charge and pass you so you could grapple and attack from behind. We got tossed around quite a bit, needing to grapple a lot to keep from getting bounced into the water below. As it turned out, we were able to defeat the boss by getting him to run off a cliff. "Ring out!" Judd cheered.
As you progress through Bionic Commando, the game will offer special challenges, like "kill 10 enemies in a row" or "perform five consecutive swings." For successfully completing these challenges you'll get special rewards, which occasionally might include upgrades to your character. Although the game was demoed for us on a PC, all the controls were mapped around a standard Xbox 360 controller. One question that remains unanswered is if the PC version will support mouse and keyboard controls: we'd like to think it would, but considering Capcom's Resident Evil 4 port didn't feature mouse support of any kind, it's anyone's guess at this point. Bionic Commando is currently without any official release date, but it's a safe bet we'll be seeing more of it in the months to come.

St. Andrew's kindergartener Walker Groves adjusted the red pipe cleaner antennae on his construction paper headband and listed off all the facts he had learned about bees and wasps.
"Only girl wasps sting," he said. "I don't know why, but boy wasps don't. And when you see a bee with a blue dot on it, that's the queen bee. We're studying about their head, thorax and abdomen and their stingers and all that stuff."
Friday, St. Andrew's Lower School students took their families on a journey through time and science during the annual Passport to Knowledge program.
"Each grade - three years through fourth grade - chooses an interdisciplinary theme and transforms their classrooms into a world of learning around those themes," said Lower School Head Kelley Waldron.
The 3- and 4-year-olds in the pre-kindergarten classes sang songs, sharing what they learned about African folk tales and plants.
Second-graders filled their classroom with dinosaurs and volcanoes and showed off their knowledge of the Mesozoic Era.
Third-graders dressed up as Native Americans and pioneers and demonstrated what it was like to journey across the uncharted west.
"It was probably hard," said Connor Krauss, who was dressed as explorer Meriwether Lewis. "They got diseases and had to walk in water - in their bare feet, sometimes."
Fourth-grade students transformed their classroom into a colonial village and demonstrated what cobblers, candle makers and craftsmen did in the 1700s.
Sloan Bailey played the role of a wig maker, and David Hale pretended to be a colonial barber.
"I make wigs out of horse hair and cotton," she said, pointing a pretend curling iron at a paper helmet covered in cottonballs.
David flashed his scissors and smiled.
"Barbers like me sold lice-away," he said. "Back then, a lice cure could remove all the lice from your head."

For months, Sullivan Legislators Cora Edwards, Cindy Gieger, Kitty Vetter, Gene Benson and Alan Sorensen have been criticized and vilified for trying to do what they were elected to do, namely fix county government and its related financial problems.
For months, Sullivan Legislators Cora Edwards, Cindy Gieger, Kitty Vetter, Gene Benson and Alan Sorensen have been criticized and vilified for trying to do what they were elected to do, namely fix county government and its related financial problems.
Changing any entrenched system is a slow and difficult process, but these legislators have worked long and hard to accomplish just such changes. They have championed open government to eliminate backroom deals that foster ineffective and destructive cycles of raising taxes, eliminating jobs and slashing services to deal with deficits.
They have scheduled public meetings to inform residents of critical issues confronting the county. They set up advisory review panels that have saved the county hundreds of thousands of dollars, with the promise of more to come. Most importantly, they are exercising their duty to oversee county contracts and financial dealings to ensure taxpayers and residents get the best deals and services for their money.
In working to balance the budget by eliminating waste and lowering governmental costs, while retaining essential service programs, these legislators are ensuring the future well-being of Sullivan County and its residents. They have earned and deserve our profound gratitude. Keep up the good work.

For more than two years, residents in the mid-Hudson region, and in particular Orange County, have been demanding that the state ban the practice by state legislators of "double-dipping."
However, after all the emails, letters to the governor and the legislative leaders and the director of the Joint Committee on Public Ethics and appearances on radio and television programs, the response has been the same — silence.
We did manage one victory by forcing former Assemblywoman Nancy Calhoun to retire after she lost the support of her party for re-election. But we still have state Sen. Larkin and a dozen more around the state enjoying the fruits of our labors and our tax money, with 50 or 60 more eligible in to do the same waiting in the wings.
We have a fragile economic recovery and many hardworking families in the region and around the state struggling to make ends meet. It's time for an end to the silence and for the leadership in Albany to do the right thing and ban the practice of double-dipping now. Remember, they work for us, we don't work for them.

Re: a recent letter on gun control, rest assured that the first 13 words of the Second Amendment are not being ignored by nearly as many anti-gunners ignoring the last 14: "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." What part of that do some people not comprehend?
James Madison, and others, owned the most sophisticated military weapons available. Police are law enforcement, not a well-regulated militia. Unconstitutional legislation is simply unacceptable.
Cuomo's SAFE Act is a prime example. What Feinstein's been working on is yet another. Hammers and vehicles caused more deaths than so-called "assault" rifles. But we're still not hearing the cries to ban those.
The Second Amendment authors understood what would be necessary to preserve liberty not if, but when, a government oversteps constitutional bounds. All constitutional rights are absolute rights. Precisely because the civilian population has only itself to rely upon should enforcement of egregiously unconstitutional legislation ever come to bear, We the People are the last line of defense between tyranny and freedom. That is why our Second Amendment was worded exactly as it was.
Perhaps some of your letter writers need to brush up on history.

This week's featured adaptation is "The Grey," a man-versus-nature thriller starring Liam Neeson. Inspired by the short story "Ghost Walker" by Ian Mackenzie Jeffers, who also helped with the screenplay, it's based on a simple, but terrifying, premise: An oil drilling team is stranded in Alaska after a plane crash and faces a pack of wolves. It sounds as grim and unrelenting as "Into the Wild," another book/movie that pitted man against the Alaskan wilderness. Here are some excerpts from reviews:
-- Los Angeles Times: Neeson holds it together from first to last. He is the rumbly voiced king of the late-January/early February action film, per "Taken" and "Unknown," and by now moviegoers have been subliminally conditioned to pay money to hear that warm hearth of a speaking voice, under duress but coolly so, this time of year. Call "The Grey" "Deliverance"-lite, with snow, and wolves. And call it a solid January surprise.
-- Seattle Times: Neeson's character is a man in torment. Early on he's seen chewing on the muzzle of a high-powered rifle, his finger tightening on the trigger. He's in the grip of suicidal despair over the loss of the love of his life, a nameless beauty (Anne Openshaw) glimpsed only in fleeting flashbacks. Can he rouse himself from his funk to lead the other survivors to safety? In addition to his commanding physical presence, Neeson has the ability, unmatched by any other Hollywood leading man, to convey soul-deep anguish. In this picture, it's shattering in its intensity.

The Turn 2 Foundation continues to support the SMART Moves program at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kalamazoo. The program serves male and female school-aged youths who typically reside within the greater Kalamazoo area. This past project year, the program served 293 youth at the Lake Street Unit and Douglass Community Association Unit. Approximately 85 percent of the program's members were eligible for free or reduced-price school meals and received some form of government assistance. Smaller component programs make up the entire SMART Moves curriculum and include the following:
Each SMART Moves component focuses on building self-esteem, self-awareness and decision-making skills as well as informing about the dangers of drug and alcohol use. Additional areas of focus include personal identity, family integrity, peer pressure, refusal techniques, media literacy, short- and long-term goal setting and STD/HIV awareness. The Club feels that by repeatedly strengthening these skills and increasing knowledge, youth become better prepared to meet peer pressure toward drug and alcohol use, violent behavior and early sexual involvement.
2010-11 SMART Moves Success Stories and Program Ancedotes:
Both SMART Moves locations observed positive changes in their participants' attitudes from the beginning of the 2010-11 program year. Examples of this include:
Young people involved in the SMART Moves programs also demonstrated positive changes in specific attitudes and behaviors, particularly decrease in anti-social behavior, increase in social competence, and increase in perceived family and social support. The strongest experience reported by children was the feeling of being welcome (sense of belonging: 100% of participants), closely followed by a sense of being listened to by staff (sense of influence: 91% of participants) and feeling a sense of usefulness (92% of participants). These are powerful findings indicating the value of the SMART Moves program, through their motivated and caring staff are making a positive difference amongst a vulnerable group of youth.
Since its launch in 1996, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $23 million to create and support signature programs that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and "Turn 2" healthy lifestyles. Learn more »

Bronze Rated cabinets and safes are entry level lower security that offer resistance to opportunistic theft and will often have an independent security test certificate, but if not, the manufacturer will have performed an in house evaluation.
This safe is designed to offer Fire resistance to protect paper documents, but has no formal test certification. The 15 minutes fire protection is provided by usually inserting a fire resistant filling between the outer and inner body of the safe.

Column: Broncos must find way forward without Fox
Part of the understated effectiveness of Broncos coach John Fox has been his steadfast refusal to divulge a scintilla more than necessary about anything.
Injuries. Suspensions. Expectations. Arrests. Denver's coach has treated them all equally – with a shrug, a smile, a well-worn bromide about how everyone and everything in the NFL is "day-to-day."
In his mind, offering more than that almost always sidetracks a team. Now, in the strangest twist of all, the most shocking secret he'd never revealed may be the biggest distraction of all for the Broncos, which is saying something.
Oh, certainly, Fox's medical condition puts football in its proper perspective. He needs aortic valve replacement surgery this week to fix a lingering and dangerous condition he can no longer ignore. It came to a head during the bye week, when the 58-year-old coaching lifer took a rare day off to play a round of golf near the home he still owns in North Carolina. He started feeling dizzy and headed to the hospital.
Before Saturday's episode, doctors had told him he would need the procedure shortly after Denver's season was over, which the smart money had pegged for Feb. 3 – the day after the Super Bowl.
A different kind of coach may have let word of a condition like that slip at some point – an empathy inspiring piece of news the media would have snapped up, and one that very well could have turned the season into a "Win One For Foxie" sort of story.
Fox isn't that guy.
Nothing about his 2003 Super Bowl run in Carolina or his lame-duck, stiff-upper-lip 2-14 season in 2010 emitted even a hint of "look-at-me" grandstanding.
When he was greeted in Denver by an entire, tumultuous season full of Tim Tebow, the coach stayed in character, sticking to the party line that, yes, the kid was a winner even though red flags flew everywhere, all of them suggesting it couldn't last.
Then Peyton Manning came along and Fox, ever malleable, kept his ego on the shelf, handed his offense over to the coordinator and quarterback who knew the most about such things and let the fireworks begin.
Once Manning got his footing last season, Denver won 11 straight games. The most impressive part of it was that there was never an off week, never a shred of bulletin-board material, never a hint of dissent or cockiness. The Broncos were the least-interesting, near-great team in football: Manning threw the passes. Fox set the tone.
When things did get interesting in the offseason – when Elvis Dumervil left via a fax foul-up, and Von Miller tried to game the NFL drug-testing system, and two high-ranking Broncos executives got arrested for drunk driving, Fox kept smiling and shedding little light.
Maybe some team would come along and be better than Denver on a given day, and, heck, maybe someone would outcoach Fox, the way John Harbaugh did in last year's playoff loss to Baltimore. But if Fox had any control over it, the Broncos weren't going to lose because anyone in his locker room handed the opponent the incentive.
Almost as if to bolster the point that less is more, the lone time Fox did speak up this season – calling Colts owner Jim Irsay "ungrateful and unappreciative" for suggesting Manning didn't do enough for Indianapolis – the Broncos lost. Manning admitted everything surrounding his homecoming, part of that dreaded "noise on the outside" Fox always guards against, made for an exhausting week.
The Broncos got things back on track with a win over Washington before the bye week, and though Manning's ankle and arm are topics of constant conversation, though star cornerback Champ Bailey can't stay healthy and the defense is vulnerable even with the return of Miller, Fox headed into his mini-vacation refusing to pinpoint any real concerns, beyond his usual generality: "You get concerned with all of it."
His message to the players before they headed out for their break consisted of his oft-used one-liner: "I don't want to see your name in the paper unless you win the lottery."
Turns out, it was the coach's name in the paper.
So, instead of spending Sunday scouting Kansas City, New England and the few other teams that could undo what Fox and Manning have built during their 7-1 start, the Broncos pondered a much different kind of uncertainty.
They have an eminently able interim available in Jack Del Rio, who spent nine years in Jacksonville, showing frequent signs of coaching promise even though he never completely tamped down the discord that sporadically pulsed through that far-from-perfect franchise.
Del Rio, the former linebacker who looks as if he could still suit up, exudes a macho sort of intensity that his players like. As an interim, he could be tempted to use his platform to get the Broncos to use their coach's plight as a rallying point.
If allowed to offer advice from his hospital room, Fox will almost certainly tell Del Rio not to bother with that. The head coach believes in letting the results speak louder than he does.
Not such a bad plan to fall back on when the coach himself is day-to-day.

Alfresco Records Management 2.0 Simplifies and Extends Enterprise File Capabilities
Cost effective open source module provides added levels of control for compliance-critical content
London, UK. — August 20, 2012 — Alfresco, the cloud connected content platform, today announced the immediate availability of Alfresco Records Management (RM) 2.0. Serving enterprise organizations and government departments wanting to simplify the management of their governance and compliance processes, Alfresco's RM 2.0 module further extends the capabilities of its cost-effective open source records management and retention tools.
"With Alfresco RM 2.0 we are greatly simplifying the process of helping government and commercial organizations keep their business-critical files and documents secure," said John Newton, CTO of Alfresco Software. "Alfresco addresses the complete lifecycle of any electronic file – from initial drafting, through review and approval to declaring as a record and final destruction, all via a single integrated interface. Enterprises can now quickly and easily produce vital evidence needed for resolving disputes whenever they need it."
Alfresco's RM module extends compliance support for all kinds of content from traditional office documents to rich media files and from scanned images to team collaboration files – all managed in a single, fully-customizable platform. Furthermore, Alfresco's powerful feature-set allows the records management process to be adapted to suit a wide variety of business cases.
The only open source content management platform to offer native records management, Alfresco RM 2.0 now offers the following enhanced features and capabilities:
- Multi-level File Plan – Frees records managers to define much deeper record structures, beyond the three standard levels as defined by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to better suit their individual requirements;
- Support for Alfresco Enterprise 4 – RM 2.0 has been completely re-architected to enable support for Alfresco Enterprise 4, a base for helping organizations manage social content collaboration, enhanced mobile access and cloud connected integration with business productivity tools;
- Extensibility – RM 2.0 allows users to define their own customized file types with associated metadata and declare them as records;
- Uncoupled DoD specification – Opens up support to a wide range of RM requirements as well as compliance with alternative RM standards; and,
- Record Searches – Improvements in record search make it easier to define queries and to locate critical records while saving 'favorite' searches making it quick to run regular administrative reviews.
- Simple Single Repository – All content captured, managed and controlled in a single repository, enabling seamless integration with document and Web content management tools. This avoids the need for content transfer with potential loss of information and reduces the number of systems to administer.
- User-friendly Web-based Interface – Access to records management functionality through a Web-based interface enabling greater user adoption with secure access from any location and no desktop installation.
- Easy Email Filing – Native support of the IMAP protocol, enabling the filing of emails from any email client, without the need to install a plugin. Alfresco RM appears as a mail folder allowing users to simply file records with drag and drop or automated by the use of email rules.

Crazies, The (US - BD)
Gabe revisits George Romero's original film just in time for the remake's release
Its code name is 'Trixie', an experimental government germ weapon that leaves its victims either dead or irreversibly insane. When the virus is accidentally unleashed in Evans City, Pennsylvania, the small community becomes a war zone of panicked military, desperate scientists and gentle neighbors turned homicidal maniacs. A small group of citizens, firefighters David (W.G. McMillan) and Clank (Harold Wayne Jones), and David's nurse girlfriend Judy (Lane Caroll), flee to the town's outskirts where they hide from trigger-happy, possibly Trixie effected soldiers. Meanwhile, Dr. Watts (Richard France), a key man in the development of Trixie is rushed to the town's high school science room to develop a cure.
The Crazies, released here on Blu-ray disc just in time to trick consumers on the look out for the theatrical remake, clearly sees writer/director George Romero prepping himself for the scope of his best film, Dawn of the Dead. Though not as moody or moving as Martin, arguably Romero's best non-zombie film (made between this film and that magnum opus), The Crazies (aka: Codename: Trixie) is a mostly effective thriller, with a lovely intimate streak. Romero's patented draconian sense of comic book irony cuts through what could've been a more classic exercise in suspense, but like all the writer/director's best films this one benefits from that arteur's touch. Romero's dueling worlds of documentarian immediacy and over-the-top, doom-baked plotting (which he would perfect with Dawn) really begin to take shape in an artistic sense here.
Not surprisingly the most memorable bits exist outside of the basic plot, when Romero takes time to capture hyper-reality, including warm character interactions that break up the relentless chase aspects, and genuinely shocking images of unsuspected madness. The scene were a grinning grandmother stabs a masked soldier to death with a knitting needle, then sits back down to re-roll her yarn ball is definitely the dominant and lasting image. The chaotic opening act scenes of unexpected terror and white-suited home invasion work so well the rest of the film suffers a sense of deflation. The developing paranoia concerning who is infected is pretty intense, but never quite matches the nail-biting terror of stuff like The Andromeda Strain (which had been released only a few years previous), even if Romero's R-rating affords him a more creeping disturbance, and controversial button-pushing (the incest scene approaches the more avant garde terror of the superior Martin).
Visually speaking one can see Romero learning to love his static camera and quick cutting mix that he'd perfect with Dawn of the Dead. Here he overdoes it a bit, overcutting simple talking scenes to a dizzying effect, but even when it doesn't work these choices are so very Romero-esque. Few filmmakers get this much kinetic momentum out of this many static shots (seriously, count the camera moves, there can't be more than a dozen in the whole film). The look dates the film a little more than it should, but the low budget origins make the less refined aspects more palatable. Romero also uses unprofessional actors (mostly to save money), which is another double-edged sword, though slightly duller than that of Dawn of the Dead, which depended more on the four leads. Sometimes these people feel entirely realistic, as if Romero's camera was actually there to tape a real event, but other times they overdo it and draw unwanted attention to their amateurism. At the very least the film stands apart from its monetary shortcomings (the estimated budget wiggles somewhere around $275,000), and fits nicely in the post-Vietnam world of 1970s American film.
The Crazies is far from the ideal candidate for Blu-ray treatment, but at this point fans have learned to expect the unexpected from Blue Underground. This transfer isn't very far removed from the company's DVD transfer, but cleans up some of the heavier grain and noise, and presents fuller, brighter colours. The detail levels aren't going to blow any minds, but the overall cleanliness is definitely impressive. The fullness of the reds, the depth and sharpness of the blacks, and natural quality of the skin tones are the transfer biggest pluses. There is plenty of grain in the mix, and small artefacts flicker throughout the entirety of the print, but digital compression is all but absent. There's zero edge-enhancement, and blocking really only rears its head during the poppiest warm hues. Some of the interiors are a bit yellowed, and some of the really dark outdoor shots are a bit blurry, but there's a relative continuity to the image, including the overall depth of field, excepting some really grimy looking stock footage shots. The outdoor daylight scenes are occasionally close to perfect, revealing deeper focus details, and wonderfully contrasting brown fall grounds and rich, blue skies. Romero himself makes mention of a few of Blue Underground's digital clean-ups (pertaining to the DVD release), positively pointing to some darkened day for night skies.
Blue Underground, surprisingly enough, does not presents The Crazies in the form of a usual 5.1 upgrade. The original soundtrack was monorual, and the disc's producers keep this DTS-HD track centered. The sound is relatively thin and tinny overall, which is clearly the fault of the original tracks. Romero is a great storyteller and visualist, but his use of sound has always been comparatively subpar. The shortcomings are mostly acceptable based on the film's tone, which depends on a lot of chaotic image grabbing, but when giving specific attention to the track for the sake of review the problems are pretty apparent. There isn't any distortion on the higher volume bits, but they tend to be pretty shrill (there's a lot of yelling), and there's certainly a bit of echo on the most prevalent dialogue and sound effects. The shootout scenes are stylistically pretty strange, as every gun shot sounds relatively identical, but on the film's terms it works. Just try to not be disappointed with the relative lack of LFE presence. The music is another less than effective element, which defines Romero's weakness with audio design. Like Night of the Living Dead almost all the score here is catalogue music, which fits the tone of a scene, but creates a disconnect, and makes the whole mix sound more like a temp track than I'm thinking Romero intended (the man does complain a few times about his own musical choices during the commentary track).
Once again, Blue Underground doesn't go out of their way to create any new extras, but does include everything that was available on the old DVD release. Things start with a uniformly fantastic commentary track from Romero, supported by Blue Underground boss and Maniac director Bill Lustig. Romero has enough stories to keep things moderately entertaining and informative, and Lustig's added input and questioning pushes it right over the edge into greatness. The track acts not only to describe the making of this particular film, but fills in other sections of Romero's filmography, specifically the time between Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, and acts a pretty good lesson in low-budget filmmaking. There are a few blank spots, and Romero whines a little too often about the state of modern film, but on the whole this is a really standout commentary.
'The Cult Film Legacy of Lynn Lowry' (14:00, SD) is the disc's only featurette. Actress Sara Lynn Lowry, who appears in The Crazies as Kathy, runs down her brief and entertaining little cult career, including footage and stories from The Battle of Love's Return, I Drink Your Blood (a must see early gore opus), Sugar Cookies, Score, Cronenberg's Shivers, and of course, The Crazies. Personally I could do with a feature length doc on the subject. Things are wrapped up with two trailers and two TV spots.
The Crazies isn't one of George Romeo's elite films, but it's stylistically pretty incredible, featuring enough creative breakthroughs to make it a must see for fans of Dawn of the Dead, which certainly reaped a lot of what Romero sowed here. The ending is a great downer. Hopefully the remake will pick up on the more emotionally disturbing aspect rather than going for a series of physical horror shocks. Blue Underground does a characteristically great job with this high definition transfer, and they do what they can with the thin and flat mono audio. The extras feature nothing new, but the director's commentary is pretty wonderful, regardless of previous availability. Early word seems to say the upcoming remake has very little in common, but give the original a pre-theater stop go anyway, just for the hell of it.

i can't wait to see the remake of this! i've had the original on DVD for a while now but only got through some of it. it was pretty bad. but i DO have respect for this movie and it's theme. without this movie we wouldn't have such gems as 28 DAYS/WEEKS LATER, etc, etc.
I'll never understand why George Romero is always cut so much slack. He made two great films, a few okay ones and a whole bunch like this one: complete c**p. Seriously, in a review of THIS movie you call him a master storyteller and director? The story is nearly unintelligible due to ham-fisted editing, muffled audio behind cumbersome gas masks, and some of the most overwrought acting by some of the most heinously unattractive and dreadful actors in film history. I understand that you love DAWN OF THE DEAD. I like it myself, though I always felt NIGHT was much better; but, to defend a movie like this or DAY OF THE DEAD takes a very special creature...Nerdus Oblivious.
Clearly you have a very specific and tiny box you work from concerning the value of a film. Call the actors 'heinously unattractive' does little to add any value to your diatribe, and makes me assume you only watch films for the beauty of the actors, which is pretty sad. I also think you have little understanding of film history, or reading fundamentals, as I pointed out many of the same shortcommings you did, and put my favorable comments in the proper context. Ending your sentence with an insult is another way you've made yourself look like a self obsessed idiot. It's fine to discuss films on this board, and to disagree with the writers, but do so in a constructive way or make your way back to the sandbox.
In other words - pull your head out of your ass and grow up, or leave.

Eloquent put down, amigo!
Nice review, Gabe - The Crazies was Romero's prototype for Dawn of the Dead. Certainly there numerous similiarities, and not just because of the style and the fact that several cast members went on to appear in Dawn.
It's VERY tempting to pick this up on Blu.

Sorry, my rants are often misunderstood. It was more of a diatribe against Romero apologists in general. I do not watch movies for the beauty of the cast. It was one more item on a laundry list of flaws in this film. You think he's a great director...cool. I think he's an overrated hack, as clearly evidenced by this film, SEASON OF THE WITCH, DAY OF THE DEAD, LAND OF THE DEAD, on and on and on...

2manydvds, i DO agree w/ you in that i too feel that Romero is given WAAAY too many passes on terrible movies. i got your post.

I love Romero films and have yet to see this...I can understand Romero being called overrated especially those who don't dig the new "Dead" films, but I grew up watching many of his films and love them...I wonder if we'll ever see another release of "Knightriders"? Its overlong but a good film I'd like to see on blu.
Nope, I didn't misunderstand anything. You don't understand or like Romero's brand of filmmaking and are lashing out in a public forum behind a fake name. It's actually pretty common.

well..er...i`ll be careful here. I liked Georges early stuff. Dawn otd, Day otd, but I suppose he`ll never do a sci-fi or western...Dollar for the Dead! (oh...estevez has done this!!)
Romero's lost it for sure. Land was a fun return to EC Comics form, but the bulk of his post Day filmography is pretty bad. I do plan on revisiting The Dark Half some day soon, but I can't imagine time has been too kind.
Michael Starks. There. Not hiding. You have a big problem with criticism, don't you? Get off your high horse, dude. It's a forum for film discussion. Not everyone is going to agree with your opinions.
You came in furious for no reason and personally insulted me. This has nothing to do with criticism (regular visitors know I regularly engage in discussion even with opinions apart from my own). You're just rude. Discussion is not one sided ranting followed by more ranting. For the record, you haven't actually discussed my review, which I'm still not sure you read.

Mike Bancroft started making hot sauce in Chicago to raise money for the art classes he taught at a small community center. Today you can find his sauces all over Chicago and beyond and some of those art students are now full-time employees.
Mike sources all his produce from farmers surrounding the city who sell their wares at weekend markets. Because he doesn't have a ton of storage to keep the chiles and vegetables frozen, he lets them naturally ferment (an ancient method of preserving food) to create the mash for the sauces. Using one industrial sized blender, he mixes all the ingredients in small batches and fills every bottle by hand.
The sauce starts sweet, then the heat rises with a flavorful--but not overwhelming--burn. Goes great with fried rice, pizza and cornmeal.

It is the policy of the CBJ to build a sustainable community that endures over generations and is sufficiently far-seeing and flexible to maintain the vital and robust nature of its economic, social, and environmental support systems. CBJ Comprehensive Plan, Policy 2.1.
Sustainability is a concept whose objective is to improve and maintain the quality of life for both present and future generations. At its core is an approach to development that looks to balance social, environmental and economic interests.
Sustainable development provides an approach to making better decisions on the issues that affect all of our lives. Current decision-making tends to separate economic, social and environmental factors, with economic factors often being the most dominate of the three. In sustainable decision-making, social, environmental and economic issues are considered simultaneously, without one dominating over the other, but recognizing that limited tradeoffs among the different interests may be necessary.
Sustainable communities are places where people thrive, enjoy good health and create a lasting high quality of life. Where people of different ages, income levels, and cultural backgrounds share environmental, social, and economic opportunities equally. Where industry and economic opportunities emphasize healthy, environmentally sound practices that benefit present and future generations. Source: Maryland Sustainable Communities Act of 2010
Climate change, and how we deal with it, is another factor in sustainability. Climate change is already affecting, and will continue to affect, all of us locally and globally. In our homes, workplaces or businesses, we can all make small changes that will contribute to reducing emissions of greenhouse gases and do more to prepare for the coming changes to our environment.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 08 May 2010
Having found that Australian Museum visitors used social networking sites, how are they actually using these? Are they passive users or actively engaged?
Having found in our January study that 57% of our visitors had used a social network site in the previous six months, we did some further investigation into how they were actually using these sites. Are they passive users or actively engaged?
In April/May we sampled 169 visitors to the Australian Museum via a self-complete form, asking them about their usage of social networking sites, what content they were looking for on these sites, whether they had seen the Museum's sites, how comfortable they felt with technology and how they liked to learn. The aim was to unpack the findings from the earlier study and to see whether different types of learners accessed different types of social networking sites. So, what did we find?
Use of Social Networks
Disappointingly, very few had seen the Museum's social media sites. However this doesn't surprise me as we don't promote them at all.
General Use of Technology
Visitors and Learning
What about their learning? Respondents were asked to rate on a scale of 1-5 the importance of the following on their learning. I'm only reporting those rated as important/very important:
These statements were taken directly from my thesis, and these results match what I found – visitors want to see things in new ways, find out new facts, learn physically and with others and construct their own meanings based on prior knowledge. They do not want to be told what to learn!
Where now?
I'm going to do some cross-tabs between the learning statements and the types of social media used, as well as some demographic breakdowns. We have also sampled a further 1,000 Sydneysiders via an online survey asking the same questions and those results will be subject of a new blog post, so watch this space (but I'm not promising anything until June!).
On the front page of Museum Victoria's website is a nice, unintrusive way to promote a museum's social spaces.
I do need to add that Facebook has now taken over YouTube as the most acccessed social media site - in our 2007 study we found the opposite. Just shows how rapidly the online world moves. Will the Twitter result also change in the future?
