How Materials Impact the Price of Installing an Edgemoor Roof
We often are asked this question from potential clients, "How much are new roofs in Edgemoor?" The truth is that many factors combine to determine the cost to install a roof. Roofing materials greatly influence new roof prices; more so than anything else. You can get a roof that is made from asphalt, clay tile, wood, metal or slate.
Asphalt shingle roofs installed in Edgemoor are the most affordable roofing material. They also have a nice lifespan of about 20 years. Slate roofs are the most expensive roofs you can install in Edgemoor as far as upfront cost, but they can last up to 200 years! You may base your choice of roof material on your home's roof pitch, local building codes, your budget, and the length of time you plan to live in your home. When you call Shingle Express, Inc. for information on the price for a roof in Edgemoor, we will happily show your options and styles that will fit your goals and budget.
Real Value of a Roof Replacement in Edgemoor Versus Its Cost
Replacing an Edgemoor roof requires a significant financial investment, but it has a big impact on your home's beauty and protective value. According to a report published by Remodeling Magazine, up to 62 percent of roof installation costs can be recovered when you sell your home after completion of a roofing project. Besides being an attractive selling point for potential buyers, a new Edgemoor roof makes your home more energy-efficient.
Older roofs often leak climate-controlled air, which makes your HVAC system work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures inside your home. Getting top dollar when you sell your home, quicker property sales, lower monthly energy bills all contribute to a roof's real value. Shingle Express, Inc. has been installing new roofs in Edgemoor economically since 2009. Call us today at (302) 212-0142 for a free quote so that you can compare the real value of a new roof with its estimated cost.

★★★★★ - "Michael was super flexible in meeting our schedule. He thoroughly assessed the damage, located the root cause, showed and explained the damage and suggested a solution that didn't break the bank. Shingle Express was great to work with."
Uli M., Shingle Roofs in Wilmington, DE2018-02-23
★★★★★ - "He was very informative and honest about what needed and not needed to be done"
Tony N., Shingle Roofs in New Castle, DE2018-02-23
★★★★★ - "I picked Mike (of Shingle Express) over two other smooth talking roof guys. My liked Mike's professor like attitude. The other two guys wanted to replace two sections of shingles (about 100 sq ft each). On the initial assessment, Mike said that my shingles were in good shape. From looking at the wet spot inside the roof, I did not think I have a wide spread problem. I felt that Mike was more likely to trouble shoot the problem and fix it. I went with Mike/Shingle Express. I was right in my gut feel. My leaky roof ended up taking ten trips to fix 5 problems. (Note: Every service trip had a scouting trip to assess the problem and came back to fix it later). Mike was very reasonable to work with. This is the good point. The not-so-good point is that you need to have faith that Mike will show up. He did not always show up when he said he would. But, he did show up a few days later from the original date. With regard to the five leaking spots, I cannot image how would I ended up with the other two guys that I did not choose."

Y.A., Roof Repair in Wilmington, DE2015-08-11
★★★★★ - "This man I dealt with at Shingle Express was the BEST! A 55-year old gutter pulled out from the house by the wind. After receiving two salesman like offers from Angies listed companies, I found they really only wanted to sell me major repairs of about $400 and not even give me the full Angies discount. I had noticed Home Advisor on TV and put my job on their site. I received 3 calls within 10 minutes. Shingle Express understood my problem and that it was just a quick repair. He gave me the price of $95 plus parts (new hangers). I agreed and he was here within 2 hours. The job took 20 minutes with 2 guys. Total Price $107 and he did not try to sell me anything extra. This was my best home repair experience ever!! ee. I was so relieved to find a service company willing to do my request without all the BS about it would be better to spend $400."

I new this was a temporary fix so I decided to hire independent contractor to tell me what was wrong. Michael took lot of pictures and explained in detail what happened and why. He made an estimate on what needs to be done and I immediately decided to hire him. The price was very reasonable considering that he was cleaning someone's else mess and inserting correct flashing etc. He is very competent and skilled, but most importantly honest and straightforward."

He also offered several payment options and even offered to place a temporary (membrane cap) fix so there would be no further property damage at no charge and at no obligation to use his service, in case I didn't have the money to get the repair done right away because we were expecting bad weather (hurricane).Would use again and recommend to friends, family and neighbors."

Homicide DivisionThe Homicide Division investigates cases where a victim is killed as a result of the actions of another person. Investigators in the Homicide Division also respond when a death may not be immediately apparent to be a homicide but the death is considered suspicious.
About the Homicide Division
Homicide Detectives are available on a 24-hour basis to respond to incidents. The moments and hours immediately following a homicide are often the most important for investigators. Detectives will examine the scene of the incident, locate and interview witnesses, speak with family members or friends who may have relevant information and work concurrently with other units in an attempt to develop suspect information. The investigations are complex as Detectives work to ensure they can present a strong case to the Circuit Attorney's Office for prosecution.
Homicide Terms
UCR: Uniform Crime Reporting, a program used by the FBI to accurately measure crime across the country. It determines the criteria used in classifying crimes.
Clearance Rate: The ratio of reported cases to cleared cases. A "cleared" case is one where investigators have determined who is responsible for the crime and the person has either been arrested or arrest is not possible because the suspect is deceased, incarcerated elsewhere etc.. It should be noted that should a crime occur in one month or year and the arrest is made in a subsequent month or year, the month or year of arrest is the month or year of clearance according to FBI clearance guidelines.
Issue Rate: The ratio of cleared cases to cases where warrants (charges) are issued by the Circuit Attorney's Office.

After a tumultuous delay, the TOJam registration form is currently live! What was the hold-up? Remember that scene from Lord of the Rings, where Gandalf battles the ferocious Balrog and they wrestle each other off a cliff? Well, imagine that Gandalf is TOJam organizer Jim McGinley, the Balrog is the new database system for TOJam, and i'm a really sexy elf.
Go on: imagine it.
Seriously, if you want to attend TOJam and you haven't signed up yet, i don't know why you're over here reading this crummy blog. Space is limited. Go sign up now. Like, right now. i'll wait.
Party of One
This'll be the first TOJam that i haven't done all by my lonesome. After creating Two By Two, Here Be Dragons, Bloat., and Heads single-handedly, i've finally roped someone into spending an entire weekend with me in a room full of sweaty nerds building video games. And better than that, she's a girl. How did i do it?
i'm her legal guardian.
Behold my progeny!
This year, i'm teaming up with my five-year-old daughter Cassandra to create a game called Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure, which is a magical adventure game featuring ponycorns. (At this point, i usually have to stop and explain to people what a "ponycorn" is, which dismays me … a ponycorn, clearly, is a single-horned pony – a pony/unicorn. A ponycorn. You see? Was that so difficult?)
Get some fekkin' imagination, you freaks.
Cassie, who is a great little artist, will be drawing the game's pictures in crayon, and i'll be scanning them in and trying to shoehorn them into a sensible game experience. Because the handicap is so high on this one, i won't be building the whole thing from scratch. i didn't approach my first TOJam this way … i was determined to build Two By Two from "scratch", starting with nothing and using Flash to build the game from the ground up.
Having proven that i can do it, over the years i've grown less and less dogmatic about TOJam. For last year's game, Heads, i used UGAGS (the Untold Graphic Adventure Game System), as a sort of proof that the time and money we spent building the engine wasn't a total waste. (It wasn't! Heads was our very first release on the Blackberry Playbook, and we've gone on to use UGAGS in other projects). When i got thinking about it, even using Flash is a bit of a cheat. i didn't write that software, and it does a lot of heavy graphics lifting for me. i also didn't build the computer, or smelt the metals used in its creation. There's only so much "scratch" that you can start from.
So this year, Cassie and i will be using the Citrus Engine to make our ponycorn-themed puzzle platformer game. i'm not even starting from scratch with the Citrus Engine – i'll be re-skinning an existing game that i completed for a client. i'll even be using some artwork that Cassie already drew months ago, because it's adorable. ("What's that, honey? An alien? A slug? A jelly bean?" "No – it's you and me and Mommy.") As is required for any weekend game jam, we're keeping our ambitions reined way in; if we come out the other side of this thing with a title screen and one functional level, i'll be happy.
i've also got Cassie slated to do some voice acting for the game, which will toally rock. Unless someone's planning to one-up her, Cass will be the youngest developer ever to attend and work on a game at TOJam.
And i'll be the sexiest elf in the room.

No matter what you think about chair-throwing, face-painting, flag-waving, appendage-swinging Australian Open tennis fans, you gotta hand it to 'em. Where else would you see a matador in the stands? A MATADOR.
It's going to be a long time before this sighting in the stands can be toppled as the best ever.
Scoreline: Rafael Nadal continues to bulldoze through the draw, taking out Tommy Haas-been 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in the third round. The top seed will next face the hard-hitting Fernando Gonzalez. Unfortunately for Gonzo, he had to play 22 games in that fifth set before defeating Richard Gasquet. Alas, he won't be facing Rafa with a full tank o' gas.

It's a filthy place, this "Broken City." Even the people called "good guys" have their dark side, their dirty secrets and tragic flaws.
It's a filthy place, this "Broken City." Even the people called "good guys" have their dark side, their dirty secrets and tragic flaws.
And the "bad guys?" They're all over the New York papers, all over New York cable news — a mayor who plays hardball, a guy running against him who's not above crawling in the mud, a police commissioner too quick to make ethical compromises.
"Broken City" begins with a cop, ably played by Mark Wahlberg, on trial for a shooting that may not be as cut-and-dried as he maintains. The mayor (Russell Crowe) slaps him on the back, and says "I like having my picture taken with heroes." But he and the police chief (Jeffrey Wright) end Billy Taggart's career, no matter what the judge says.
Cut to seven years later. Billy's a private detective — skulking in alleys, photographing cheating spouses. He's got a hot actress wife (Natalie Martinez), and his work has made him the jealous type. He's got a lot of bills and a bad temper.
At least he's on the wagon.
That's the moment his old pal, the mayor, calls. Find out who's sleeping with my wife, Hizzonor says. Do it before Election Day, next week. The can-do mayor is in a two-fisted race with a city councilman (Barry Pepper). The last thing he needs is for word to get out that his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is cuckolding him.
But once Billy has done his job and gotten the incriminating photos things turn even dicier. The adulterer turns up dead and Billy wonders if he's been set up. His life unravels even as he and his perky assistant (Alona Tal) unravel the layers of deceit surrounding this case.
Director Allen Hughes ("The Book of Eli") hides the secrets well and stages a good fight and chase. But what's most entertaining about Brian Tucker's script is the lived-in feel it has. The ex-cop is all rough edges, intolerant at times, ill-tempered. And funny.
His assistant calls something "wondrous."
"Wondrous?! Did they teach you that at DeVry?"
Politicians treat slander with the cavalier disregard of those used to an "any means necessary" style of campaigning. "It won't stick. But it'll smudge."
Working-class cops and politicians have homophobic streaks. Wright's police chief-turned-police commissioner has a simmering resentment that feels righteous, but unsavory. Crowe plays the mayor's working-class background as a barely hidden resentment, making him menacing even when he's glad-handing supporters.
Jones has a decent part to play as well, a woman challenging the private eye on what he thinks he knows.
There's a lot of background to pack into every character, and Tucker sets them up as virtuous, pure of motive, only to pull the rug from under them.
But "Broken City" doesn't have a compelling narrative to pull it along. Wahlberg, playing well within his comfort zone, dials back the fearsome, aiming for funny some of the time. It's a hallmark of this slightly-better-than-average thriller that it is missing some of the requisite thrills. And that Wahlberg blows his best one-liner.
This mayor is "dangerous," he's warned. Naah, Billy flatly replies. "He only knows people that kill people." Emphasize the "KNOWS" and that line sings.

I'm sorry, the homestay is currently unavailable.
A friend of mine, Keith has recently setup and running a homestay in Tanjung Tokong. The other day, me and V went to his condo to help him shoot some photos and at the same time try on his infinity swimming pool~ :D
The infinity swimming pool is overlooking Straits Quay, V said she feels like a mermaid, swimming towards the glowing palace but never able to reach it...
The luxury condo with civilian price, provides wide range of facilities - pool, sauna, gym, playground, big compound at the hanging gardens, condo car park and visitor car park for your convenient.
The apartment itself consists of 3 bedrooms and generously 3 washrooms. All rooms are equipped with beds, linen, air-conditional and fan. Other stuff like water heater, hair dryer, fridge, washing machine... are provided as well. It's basic but definitely enough for a comfortable stay, even for longer term like 1 or 2 months.
Keith has been busy setting up the homestay, keeping it clean and try to fulfill customer needs. I do hope he will success in this business because that is something I want to do eventually too.
Homestay concept is indeed really good especially for large group of friends or family where the apartment can accommodate at least 6 people or more. More budget, saving and family members or friends can get together in the spacious living hall, the thing I most appreciated when travel with my families and friends.

For optimized maintenance activities
Accenture's Industry X.O solution provides a framework that allows organizations to embrace technological change and profit from it, helping them to intelligently combine digital technologies and lead in the new. With Accenture's help, this global energy company implemented an industrial pervasive wireless network to monitor and analyze work patterns. The effort led to increased productivity and enhanced safety, data-driven insights that can be used for planning work and negotiating vendor contracts, and a platform that supports ongoing improvements in operations.
To improve its ability to negotiate fixed-price contracts, a global energy company needed to develop a more precise understanding of the amount of work various disciplines were contributing to maintenance activities. To do so, the client looked to use mobile solutions that could track workers at one of its production facilities. However, the company lacked the wireless infrastructure in the field required to support this initiative.
The client engaged Accenture to build a wireless network infrastructure at the facility, as well as distribute RFID tags to workers, manage associated business readiness activities, and manually analyze data for daily reporting—a choice based on Accenture's track record of implementing technology in hazardous operational environments, and its experience in using analytics to drive operational improvements.
Drawing on its patented approach to designing industrial wireless networks, Accenture created an outdoor pervasive wireless network at the client's facility, installing 50 rugged, intrinsically safe access points designed to operate in hazardous areas. Accenture also equipped some 1,100 workers with wearable RFID tags, and implemented desktop-based MobileView software to gather data coming from the field and monitor workers' locations as they moved through the facility.
intrinsically safe access point
workers with wearable RFID Tags
Accenture drew on its relationships with Cisco and AT&T to deliver on the accelerated timelines. The entire project was completed in less than 90 days. With the network in place, Accenture worked with the client to monitor worker activity and apply analytics to identify movement trends and operational bottlenecks, and better understand demobilization processes. As an example, monitoring revealed that the tendency of workers to follow similar work patterns was resulting in the mobilization times of different contracting companies converging, even if they contractually had different start, end, and break times. In another instance, activity monitoring demonstrated that—for contracting companies providing dinner to employees at the end of a shift—early demobilization rates were far lower, with most employees working up until the last minute.
With the new solution, the client was able to develop insights that boosted productivity, increasing the amount of time workers spend in productive zones by one half hour per-person per-day. At the same time, the system has given the client a solid, data-driven foundation for planning and estimating maintenance work, and for negotiating vendor contracts for such work.
The wireless network—which the client also recently used to test an advanced manufacturing initiative pilot that required cloud connectivity—gives the company a foundation for future advanced manufacturing initiatives. Furthermore, it supports the company's overall plans to extend its enterprise network into the field and enable the increased use of digital technology in its operations.

Yop. Thx for allowing this. I've been around here since ages and never posted a thread like that before. Not because i don't care, but because i know that what i'm gonna say will only harm and not change anything. In the past, there were ultra cards realeased (such as Caelus let's say) but there is no comparison with this. I have a simple question :
Is Kalindra gonna stay around in elo? Are we serious? I completely disagree with the creation of the clan and especially this card, but whatever, who cares. Allowing it in elo though, is at least hilarious. If you wanna make the ELO mode ONLY a game of luck, you're much closer (though there have been already received too many decisions to that direction, but nevermind)
You know people have 4 cards. Now with this thing, Kalindra, who needs the other 3? you have a 10/16 (don't tell me you will have trouble getting revenge) with fury if the opp has no soa/sob(which is ultra hard, because you gotta have 2 soa and play 2nd, or 3 soa and play first to stop it). Where ''stop'' = 10/8 stats for it. Do you think it's normal? Do you think that the elo restrictions go along with this thing?
This is hilarious. Remove it.

Heh, I would still like to see a bit more of a reasonable response regarding cards like this...
People agree that right now, ELO is a little 50/50, but you know what I think would fix it? Cards like Kalindra and Spyke! These cards prevented the first turn all-in or all-bluff strategies with cards like Greem, Azel, etc. Their biggest weakness was SoA... SoAs biggest weakness was, in turn, clans like NM and Skeelz. There were reasons to run decks of either of those 3 types, reasons to mix these clans in whatever way you thought was best, and reason to watch the meta game and just try to counter-comp the most popular setups of the week. Now you see many people try to load a deck up with 50/50 win cards and CoB, instead.
There will always be power creep in UR. If people freak out about cards that seem OP without taking the whole game into consideration, they just limit ways in which 50/50 setups can be countered.

Why does UR release these brokenass cards in the first place, they play the game too so they should know if it's broken or not...unless they intended them to be broken...I hope that's not the case.

@Signomi Ld:
Kalindra's ability was meant to be "+1 pills per damage" before the staff nerfed her at the last minute. She still turned out overpowered, but at least they made the effort. Spyke, eddie and beeboy I think are just the staff overcompensating for weak clans.

Since many people have asked for it, here is the unedited, kinda-poorly-worded script of what I said at the funeral. There may have been a few moments when I ad-libbed, but I seriously don't remember them.
Unlike any story ever told by my dad, I will try to keep this short. And relatively exaggeration-free.
All of you who have come here today have come to honor the memory of a friend, a co-worker, a brother, and for my sister and me – our dad, and for my mom – her best friend and sometimes-biggest comedic annoyance of the past 40 years. Were he physically able to have been here to see the sheer volume of the people that came last night and today, in typical Henry fashion, he would have been humbled – if not a little tickled on the inside. If he had been able to tell each and every one of you the story of the size of the crowd that came out, whether he told you in person or on the phone (and we all know how much my dad loved to talk on the phone), he'd have said something like "It beat all I'd ever seen," or "It was the durndest thing," or my personal favorite: "I'd never seen anything like it in all my born days."
Regardless of how you knew my dad, there were two things about him that everyone knew: his heart and his spirit. Both were reflected in every interaction he had with everyone – and they were especially evident in his love of talking. Whether it was while he was listening to a story you were telling, or whether he was telling his own, he had this distinct body language that I noticed. As he would talk to you, he would sort of do this weird lean-over thing, with an occasional quick touch to the upper arm or leg, and then he would lean back and motion with that same hand he'd touched you with. By making this connection, he would make you think that YOU were the most important person he was talking to, that you were the most important person he COULD talk to. And then, the way he'd sometimes look from side to side and then lean in to speak with you made you think that you were being let in on a secret that only the two of you would share. And wit us – with me, my sister, y mom – dad would somehow oftentimes mysteriously contract this voluntary selective hearing loss and then cock his head to one side and ask, "Do what now?" - In this and in every interaction, it was always about connecting. About bringing his heart to yours. About bringing his spirit to yours.
I once learned from a movie that how we face death is at least as important as how we face life. For me, I choose to face the death of my father here on earth as how he chose to face life with the Father in heaven he is now reunited with. Reflected in my dad's heart and spirit was this deep, spiritual foundation. It is in his honor that I would like to share a couple of things with you today. Well, that, and I know how he would not have hesitated to share these anyway.
One of my favorite authors, Brennan Manning, wrote in his book The Ragamuffin Gospel that "Death is simply a transition into the one experience worthy of the name life." To me, that means, "If you think this journey you've been on – for my dad, these past 67 years – if you think this has been something, you ain't seen nothing yet."
John 14:1-4 is a familiar passage read at times like this. In it, Jesus tells His disciples – His friends, the ones that had been on His journey with Him – "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going."
You may have noticed that my dad liked to eat. No, scratch that: he loved to eat. I've jokingly remarked that heaven had better have a buffet table, or he'll think that he got sent somewhere else by accident. Whether there was a buffet line where he got to flash his senior citizen discount card or not, I am certain that God had a smile on His face when He met my dad when he came home and He said, "Food? You ain't seen nothing yet." And right now, his spirit is full with love, joy and peace as he transitions into the one experience worthy of the name life.
Psalm 34:18-19 says "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of them all." I love these two verses. To me, they validate the pain you feel, the pain that I feel. But they also contain a promise. You can't just box off the pain and feel just that. Likewise, you can't ignore the pain and just focus on the promise. The funny thing about God is that he won't let you do that. He looks at the emptiness and pain that many of us feel right now and says, "That gulf in your heart? The way you feel like you'll never feel whole again? You ain't seen nothing yet. I can make you more whole and compete than you have ever thought possible." It's what my dad is experiencing right now – a healthiness and a wholeness, a reunion like nothing you or I can even imagine.
Philippians 1:21 says "For me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." My dad lived in Christ, and had a full, full life. And – heaven probably blew his mind a little, to be honest, because he thought he had gained it all down here. But he transitioned into life, more abundant than anything he could have ever known. Dad, you finally won the lottery.
It's important to note that his death takes place in the shadow of new life. Many of you here today, and those of you who came here last night, are old friends who have not seen each other for years, if not decades. You're reconnecting over old stories and laughter about the humor and kindness of my dad. Some of you are family members who are sharing a hug for the first time in what feels like eternity.
My kid sister and dad shared more laughs and love in these past few months than they did for years, and I need to publicly acknowledge and thank her foe being his rock in the middle of this storm.
I take such immense comfort in knowing that my dad died knowing he was going to be a grandfather – and if you ever spoke with him on the phone, you know how excited he was about the arrival of his grandson.
All the pain that we all feel – all this takes pace in the shadow of new life: of rebirths and of births yet to come. My dad's final act here on earth of bringing so many people together at one time? If you thought his life reflected Christ and the power of healing, love and forgiveness? You ain't seen nothing yet.
I ask that you do exactly what my dad would have done, and what he would have wanted all of us to do: when you leave here today, keep the stories going. Keep the connections going. Keep the rebirth going. Let this death be a gain. It is for my dad, that's for sure. And through this gain, may you come to see and move and live in the love and power of Christ.
And – hey, dad? You finally got to hear me speak live.

I'm the lucky one who got to spend a day with this awesome Colorado bluegrass band and shoot their pictures for their website, promo materials, and new album!
First we stumbled on a local winery with three great backdrops: the mountains, a barn complete with antlers, and a great Victorian looking home and porch. The winery owners were happy to let us use their property for the shoot, as long as the band played a few tunes (hence the shot with the wine bottle below). Then we went over to find a church and also stumbled upon a great little spot with a white house and green trim and craggy peaks in the background. In the evening, they had a gig at the Rustic Station, a perfect hunting lodge type feel for the shoot.
Here are some of my favorites from the wonderful Saturday we spent together up in Bailey and Conifer, Colorado!

2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee lineup features two new models, the luxurious Overland and the high-performance SRT8. The Grand Cherokee was completely redesigned for 2005, and is bigger, more modern, and more powerful than previous versions of this iconic, midsize SUV.
The edgy, angular body is devoid of cladding and is proportioned differently from earlier Jeeps. It looks new and contemporary, but people instantly recognize it as a Grand Cherokee.
Interior materials are dramatically improved over the previous generation's, which left much to be desired. The atmosphere inside the latest Grand Cherokee is light, comfortable, and more enveloping than the previous model; from the driver's perspective it's more bolted in than hanging on, with lots of seat adjustment, excellent outward vision around relatively slim windshield posts, and with all the switches and controls clearly labeled and easy to find and use. In back is nearly 70 cubic feet of cargo space.
A more sophisticated suspension gives the current Grand Cherokee much better handling than that of pre-2005 models, with less leaning in corners, along with better ride quality. Its turning radius is tighter, too, good for crowded parking lots.
All four available engines are modern. The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is particularly good for towing or driving at higher elevations. The SRT8 has a 420-hp 6.1-liter Hemi and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than five seconds. The smaller, 4.7-liter overhead-cam V8 works quite well, however, and the standard overhead-cam V6 is a big improvement over Jeep's old overhead-valve inline-6.
Overall, 2006 Grand Cherokee retains the rugged spirit of the Jeep brand, combined with engineering and quality control closer to the Daimler-Benz tradition.
Model Lineup
The 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee comes in four trim levels:
The Laredo ($27,165) comes with a 210-horsepower, 3.7-liter V6 and a five-speed automatic transmission. The 4.7-liter overhead-cam V8 is optional ($720 with 2WD, $1,340 with 4WD). Cloth upholstery is standard, but leather bucket seats are available ($850) when ordered with other options. Air conditioning comes standard, along with one-touch power windows, power locks with remote keyless entry, eight-way power driver's seat, AM/FM/CD audio with auxiliary input jack, driver information center, 60/40 split folding rear seat, an engine immobilizer, water-resistant storage compartment, and 17-inch tires and wheels. Laredo 4WD ($29,135) features Quadra-Trac I full-time four-wheel drive. Quadra-Trac II, which includes a Low range, is optional ($620) with the V6 and standard with the V8.
The Limited ($33,415) comes with the 4.7-liter V8 and leather upholstery. Also standard: automatic climate control; Boston Acoustics six-speaker 276-watt AM/FM stereo with six-CD changer and MP3 capability; power adjustable pedals; power passenger seat; memory function for the seats, pedals, and mirrors; automatic headlamps; rain-sensing automatic wipers; electrochromic rearview mirror; HomeLink; tire pressure monitor with display; adjustable roof rack crossrails; and machined-face 17-inch aluminum wheels. Limited 4WD ($36,005) gets all that plus Quadra-Trac II. The Hemi is optional on both 2WD and 4WD Limiteds, and when ordered on the latter comes with Jeep's latest Quadra-Drive II full-time active 4WD.
The Overland ($39,240) comes with the 5.7-liter Hemi, and adds a wood-and-leather steering wheel, real wood accents on the doors and console, two-tone leather and ultra-suede seats embroidered with the Overland logo, leather-covered console and armrest, side airbags, DVD-based navigation, Sirius Satellite Radio, a ParkSense reverse-parking sensor, a trailer-tow group, and platinum-clad aluminum wheels. Other platinum accents highlight the exterior. Overland 4WD ($42,230) adds Quadra-Drive II.
The SRT8 ($39,300) comes with a 6.1-liter Hemi rated 420 horsepower, a lowered suspension and its own electronic all-wheel-drive system. Distinctive bumper fascias and 20-inch wheels make SRT8 instantly identifiable. Inside are sport seats, special trim, and an level of standard features roughly analogous to the Limited's. Options can bring an SRT8 to Overland levels.
Safety features that come on all Grand Cherokees include an electronic stability program (ESP) with roll mitigation, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with brake assist, traction control, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and front air bags with four levels of deployment. Side curtain air bags are optional ($560).
Options include GPS navigation built into the radio ($1,200), a rear-seat DVD entertainment system ($1,200), sunroof ($800), a trailer tow package ($255), Boston Acoustics audio, UConnect hands-free communication system ($275), Smart Beam headlamps that sense the available natural light and adjust accordingly, and ParkSense rear park assist. An Off-Road package ($420) with tow hooks is available, along with chromed alloy wheels, and an engine block heater.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is considered a midsize sport utility. It's smaller than a Ford Explorer. Yet compared with pre-2005 models, the current Grand Cherokee is about five inches longer overall, four inches longer in wheelbase, 2.5 inches wider in track and a bit lower in profile.
This makes it more stable than the previous generation models. In appearance, it is at once more modern and more square-edged. With its higher waistline and smaller windows, it is looks more assertively American.
While conventional SUVs, such as the Dodge Durango, are built on a separate frame like a truck, the Grand Cherokee uses an unusual construction scheme Jeep calls Uniframe, a close marriage of a welded steel unit-body and underlying front and rear modules. This is an extremely sturdy and rigid concept developed back in Jeep's days with unit-body pioneer American Motors. The Grand Cherokee has earned a five-star safety rating in both front and side impact tests from the federal government.
Laredo models come with a body-colored grille and bumpers, black door handles, and contrasting-color bodyside and sill moldings. Limited models present a somewhat flashier appearance, with a chromed grille, bright inserts in the bumpers, body-color door handles, and Platinum bodyside molding.
The Overland is distinguished by mesh-texture grille inserts between its traditional vertical grille bars, which are Platinum in finish; Platinum accents also appear on the bumpers, side molding, roof-rack side rails, liftgate light bar, side-view mirrors, and wheels, while sill moldings are body-color.
Jeep reached deep into its heritage to revive the Overland name. First built in 1903, the Overland automobile was the earliest ancestor of the Willys. Willys played an instrumental role in the development and production of the World War II-era Jeep, but was also the first automaker to seriously envision a civilian market for a military-style utility vehicle. The Willys Jeep debuted in 1946 and had its name shortened to just-plain Jeep in the early 1960s. Although the Jeep brand has passed through several owners since then, its lineage remains unbroken.
The SRT8 has a monochrome look all its own, relieved by bright accents at the belt level and bodyside and accented by enormous five-spoke, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels. Functional air ducts in its more bluff front bumper fascia improve brake cooling. The rear bumper is cut out to accommodate dual four-inch exhaust tips, and the extended side sills are claimed to enhance downforce. SRT8 is available only in Bright Silver, Brilliant Black or Inferno Red. It looks hot, very sporty. Our silver 2006 SRT8 drew a lot of admiring glances when we drove it around Los Angeles, a place where vehicles don't garner attention easily. When we pulled up to a posh restaurant, the valets insisted in posing it in front, a position usually reserved for Ferraris and such.
Interior Features
The Grand Cherokee interior was completely redesigned, beginning with the 2005 models, and it's significantly improved. The two-tone, dark-over-light-over-dark instrument panel and door trims; vinyl grains; and materials and finishes are generally much richer and better looking than in the previous generation. That's good because the previous generation wasn't that great. The new interior is far better organized, lighter in feeling and color, and altogether roomier than the previous version, which had been around since 1993.
We found the seats to be larger and cushier than in any previous Jeep, with supportive contours. There's more travel in the seat tracks, allowing more legroom for tall drivers. There's also increased headroom, which adds the feeling of extra space to the interior.
The instrument panel has no more of that pasted-together, black-plastic look of the last generation, but is a real, cohesive design with a nice combination of shiny plated parts, matte-finish plated parts, and a first-rate instrument layout. A four-gauge instrument cluster with LED illumination features black gauges with brilliant red pointers. On the Limited model, the gauges are surrounded by chrome rings. The handbrake lever has a spindly, low-quality feel to it, however.
The 2006 Grand Cherokee Overland model enhances these interior improvements with high-contrast two-tone Ultrasuede seats featuring accent stitching and embroidered Overland logos; plus real wood trim on the steering wheel, instrument panel, door panels, and gear selector. Even the center armrest is leather-upholstered, and unique colors are employed in the instrument cluster.
The SRT8, on the other hand, goes for the high-tech racer look with deeply contoured sport seats, and lots of carbon fiber and aluminum trim. Unique blue-accented gauges include a 180-mph speedometer plus oil pressure and oil temperature readouts in the center stack. The sport seats offer lots of support, with deep side bolsters, but drivers with larger frames may find them too narrow.
The cargo area features a reversible load floor panel that flips over on itself to create a shallow container, for more versatility in the rear storage compartment.
The navigation system, which integrates the audio system and other functions, is a handy feature. It has a nice display, generates crisp maps, and does a good job of directing you to your destination, both visually and audibly. It isn't as easy to program as similar systems are on Acura and Lexus vehicles, however. There's a separate Enter button, annoying because intuition suggests pressing the toggle switch down. Also, it kept defaulting to the daytime brightness setting. Auto did not seem to automatically switch it to the nighttime setting at night, so we had to manually program this. We had to reprogram this each time we restarted the car and this could not be done while underway, meaning we had to stop to fix it, inconvenient when traveling on a busy L.A. freeway. The daytime setting is so bright at night as to be distracting.
Similarly, Chrysler uses a separate Set button for pre-setting radio stations, which seems unnecessarily difficult. Setting these on most radios is a matter of holding down the desired preset.

Today's Jeep Grand Cherokee represents a big improvement over pre-2005 models. It maintains mountain goat capability in rugged terrain yet it's much better on the road where most of us spend most of our time.
The Laredo comes standard with Chrysler's 210-hp 3.7-liter V6, borrowed from its sister trucks, the Jeep Liberty and Dodge Ram, with its own five-speed overdrive automatic transmission. The 3.7-liter uses single overhead cams and replaces the old, overhead-valve 4.0-liter inline-6 that was in the last Grand Cherokee. The V6 gets an EPA-rated 17/21 mpg City/Highway, only slightly better than the V8s on the highway but significantly better when poking around town.
The 4.7-liter V8 is terrific. This modern, overhead-cam engine is a paragon of power and smoothness for around-town and highway driving. It has a broad torque band, a lovely sound, and electronic throttle control (drive-by-wire) that's easy to use and precise in tricky downhill off-road situations. If you don't live in the mountains and don't usually tow anything, this engine might be your best choice. The 4.7-liter V8 produces 235 horsepower at 4500 rpm and 305 pound-feet of torque at 3600 rpm. It's EPA-rated at 14/20 mpg.
The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 is a thoroughly modern engine, featuring twin spark plugs, direct ignition, and electronic throttle control, though it is an overhead-valve design. The 5.7-liter Hemi produces 330 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 375 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. Fuel economy is an EPA-rated 14/21 mpg. Note that it delivers much stronger torque yet more than matches the fuel economy of the 4.7-liter. Torque is that force that propels you from intersections and helps you tow trailers up long grades. The slightly better fuel economy on the highway is at least partly thanks to the automatic cylinder deactivation feature, which shuts down four of the engine's eight cylinders whenever it detects a steady-state cruise condition and then reactivates them on demand. DaimlerChrysler claims this can improve fuel economy by up to 20 percent.
Both V8 engines get a heavy-duty five-speed automatic transmission with a direct fourth gear for towing. Both this transmission and the five-speed automatic that's mated to the V6 feature the Chrysler/Mercedes-Benz manual override function.
The Grand Cherokee offers a nicer ride and better cornering than any other Jeep in history. We don't recommend flinging 4500-pound SUVs into corners, but the Grand Cherokee can encourage this sort of socially unacceptable behavior because it's easy to drive and rewarding within the limits of its tires.
These ride and handling benefits are the result of the Grand Cherokee's newly developed five-link rear suspension, independent front suspension, and rack-and-pinion steering. Two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions use the same independent front suspension. Front suspension travel is increased by almost 10 percent over the previous Grand Cherokee. It's coupled with a lighter, more compact and more precise power rack-and-pinion steering that's reasonably quick and accurate, and nicely weighted. New steering geometry yields a tighter turning circle, important off road as well as in crowded parking lots or when making a U-turn.
There's plenty of understeer dialed into the handling, good for a vehicle this tall and this heavy where you don't want directional changes to happen too quickly. There seems to be a more flatfooted, glued-down attitude with this big Jeep, with far less body roll than in the previous generation. Jeep built roll into the old model, and it paid some comfort dividends off-road. But this one is just as comfortable on- and off-road without it. The current Grand Cherokee chassis is also much stiffer and stronger than the previous version, with nary a squeak or a rattle in our experience with it.
Tow ratings for the Grand Cherokee are 3,500 pounds for the 3.7-liter V6, 6,50
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is an icon among sport utility vehicles and this latest-generation version is far better than older models. It looks wonderful. It's powerful and quiet at the same time. It offers good space efficiency and comes loaded with standard and optional features.

InVisage QuantumFilm is the "world's most light-sensitive image sensor for smartphones," capable of producing gorgeous, high-quality photos in virtually any lighting condition. InVisage has transformed the image sensor by adding a thin layer of quantum dot film to produce highly sensitive image sensors that can be mass-produced using standard CMOS processes. Compared with current camera technologies, the InVisage QuantumFilm sensor provides incredible performance in the smallest package, making picture-taking foolproof, even in dimly lit rooms.
"The innovative QuantumFilm technology from InVisage has the potential to disrupt the market for silicon-based image sensors," said Bo Ilsoe, Managing Partner of Nokia Growth Partners. "Imaging remains a core investment area for NGP, and it is our belief that InVisage's technology will change how video and images are captured in consumer devices."
"The participation of new investors, including a major handset maker, in this round signals that imaging is a critical differentiator in mobile devices," said Jess Lee, CEO, InVisage Technologies. "For too long, the image sensor industry has lacked innovation. We are excited to bring stunning image quality and advanced new features that will truly transform this industry."
More information on QuantumFilm and InVisage Technologies is available on the company's Web site.

How Do I Test My PC's RAM Performance?
So how do you do one? In this article, we aim to give you a step by step guide on how to perform a RAM speed test.
Step 1
As your PC or laptop will only be able to give you general information about the hardware inside, e.g. how big the hard disk is etc.., checking the speed of your RAM is going to involve downloading a small program to do the job.
This is something you shouldn't have to pay for and here are a couple of sites that offers it for free.
- cpuid.com
- memtest.org
We are in no way affiliated with any of the sites listed above or any that offer free RAM speed check tools, so do read the small print (if there is any). Some will only be free for perhaps 30 days, as part of a free trial. So be careful!
Step 2
Once you have successfully installed the application, follow the instructions and perform a speed test on your RAM hardware. It might be an idea to find out what a good speed is for the RAM hardware that you have in your PC.
To do this you can pop open your PC and physically take a look at the RAM hardware in your PC. It will normally be printed on the side of the memory modules themselves.
If you're not happy with doing this and don't know anyone who can, the downloaded applications we mentioned before should provide you with all this information.
Step 3
Once you have your RAM type and speed, it should be a simple case of making a comparison with what you are told your RAM speed is and what it should be for the hardware you're using.
If you find that your RAM is not working at the speed it is supposed to, then you should then look at running your computer's RAM diagnostic tool (this is a system program included with Windows) to see if it is malfunctioning.
Step 4
In the scenario that your computer picks up errors during its check, then it may be necessary for you to replace the hardware to fix the issue. If you have multiple RAM modules, perhaps try removing and replacing each one to see what effect it has when running the diagnostic tool. This should tell you which of your RAM chips it is that isn't working properly.
We hope that we have helped you in the search for an answer to your problem. A little bit of knowledge can be the difference between a happy PC and a very annoying and frustrating computer experience.

Chicago poised for another fight over guns
Facing a climbing homicide rate, Chicago is poised for another fight over handguns -- just two years after the last one.
When the U.S. Supreme Court nullified the city's 28-year-old handgun ban in 2010, Chicago responded by passing one of the nation's toughest handgun ordinances. And city officials sounded ready Thursday for another battle after a federal appeals court tossed out Illinois' ban on carrying concealed weapons this week.
Even as aldermen urged Attorney General Lisa Madigan to appeal the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision, they suggested the city council might push through a city ordinance that restricts who can carry a concealed weapon. After that, Alderman Joe Moore said, Chicago would do what it did for years with its handgun ban: Defend it in court.
"I believe that the city would be well within its rights to prohibit that (concealed weapons) within its borders, and then we'll take that up to the Supreme Court," Moore said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, stopping short of discussing any possible ordinance and declining to offer advice to Madigan, made it clear he was ready to face off with the gun lobby.
"I have fought this industry time and again," Emanuel told reporters Wednesday afternoon. He used the word "fought" a half-dozen times, listing his efforts to get gun legislation enacted as a congressman and an adviser for President Bill Clinton.
Emanuel also said he'd already offered Madigan whatever legal help from the city she might need in appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
At the same time, Emanuel promised that in the 180 days Illinois lawmakers were given to pass a concealed carry bill, he would be a "strong advocate ... for sensible gun laws to make sure we can protect people, the kids, the residents of the city of Chicago from both guns and gangs."
Gun rights advocates have long argued that Illinois' ban violates the Second Amendment right to bear arms for self-defense, and that recent Supreme Court rulings have ruled in their favor.
Neither Emanuel nor city council members detailed what they'll do in response to Tuesday's ruling. But there is little doubt that Chicago officials will do something given the heightened concerns about escalating gang violence and a homicide rate that is about 20 percent higher than last year -- and could very well pass 500 deaths by Dec. 31.
Alderman Joe Moreno suggested his colleagues are waiting for word that they have the authority, as many believe they do, to write Chicago's own concealed carry law.
"I know if we do have that ability there will be several, if not the vast majority of the aldermen, who would want to put their arms around that," he said.
Among those who have tussled with Chicago over gun laws, there's a feeling officials may act regardless of whether they have the legal authority.
"Even if the (ruling) makes it illegal for Chicago to write any ordinance and made it so if they did try to force one through, they'd be setting themselves up for lawsuits ... and on the hook for damages, I (still) expect them to do something," David Lawson, a plaintiff in the 2010 handgun case that went to the Supreme Court, said Wednesday. "You can't put anything past them."
There's a feeling both inside the city council chambers and out in the neighborhoods that the city needs to act quickly to head off what they expect to be deadly consequences of this week's ruling.
"More guns on the street will mean more lives lost," the Rev. Ira Acree, a prominent pastor on the city's West Side said Thursday.
Alderman Anthony Beale said he and his colleagues understand that sense of urgency.
"People's safety is at risk," he said.

Sean Swain and Retaliatory Transfer to Ohio's Most Notorious Prison
From Sean Swain
"I've been wearing the same pair of underwear since Tuesday. That night at three in the morning the warden at the super duper max, Jay "Lowdown" Forshay informed me that I was being transferred to Lucasville. Lucasville, home of the 1993 prisoner uprising, is a psychological September Eleventh for the Ohio prison system. It's also the prison where ODRC officials attempted to put former prisoner writer Timothy "Little Rock" Reed in order to engineer his death until he gained asylum from Ohio in New Mexico, proving conclusively that Ohio prison officials attempted to murder him.
In the lead up to this transfer prison officials tried several times unsuccessfully to silence me. Blocking phone communication for eight weeks to keep me off the radio, intercepting intercepting postings for SeanSwain.org and communications with counsel who filed a civil action against prison officials on my behalf, and then blocking my video visits to stop me from generating video on the site, which is illegal, not that the laws matter to fascists.
In response I undertook a hunger strike until I was threatened with being tossed in the hole, which is illegal, not that laws matter to fascists. So I began a med strike, and then OSP physician James Kline held me incommunicado with medical isolation, in a torture cell, until I agreed to take blood pressure medication I had refused, which is illegal, not that they care.
So, before I could even finish writing the epic tale of those wacky shenanigans, I was told to hop on a prison bus for Lucasville. When I protested that this was selective, Jay Lowdown said, "we thought you'd say that, that's why thirty seven others are going with you. So, to disguise prison fascist's targeting of me, they tossed thirty seven other dolphins into the tuna net as collateral damage.
