The most obvious aspect of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is the initial purchase price. But the purchase price often has no bearing on long-term costs of operation. It is highly important to understand all the costs of ownership to make the best possible purchase decision.
Significant post-purchase costs include:
Considering the post-purchase cost of each of these factors and the high cost of post-sale service, the total cost of ownership is often raised to unacceptable levels.
REDCOM believes that our customers have the right to estimate the total cost of ownership during the purchase process, not after the sale when it is too late. We front-load most of the cost into the initial price of our systems. While this may result in a higher initial price than some competitive solutions, the savvy customer recognizes that they do not have to sacrifice future revenues to pay for a solution that they need today.
Easy installation. REDCOM systems are delivered pre-programmed, and are operational within seconds of power-up—just make the connections and the switch is ready to provide service.
Simplified Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OA&M). REDCOM systems are designed for ease of use. REDCOM's MAUI (Maintenance Administration and User Interface) provides a single point of OA&M. MAUI is a an intuitive GUI that simplifies the configration and maintenance of your REDCOM network.
REDCOM systems have no required maintenance schedule. If something breaks within a REDCOM product, it can be easily replaced. All boards can be replaced while hot as there is no need to power down the system, turn off programs, or disable any services. Simply remove the suspect board and replace it with a like unit from the spares pool.
No required maintenance schedule means there is no mandatory maintenance contract. This results in significant savings each year to each of our customers. Rather than a mandatory annual maintenance contract, we offer pay-as-you-use-them technical services and repairs.
System additions are easily accomplished due to REDCOM's distributed architecture. When an existing system is full, simply add one or more MSU equipment shelves. This requires no great jump in system capacity and expense, but rather a simple, predictable growth by adding additional MSUs as you need them.
There are no mandatory upgrades. Customers are free to operate their REDCOM systems as they purchased them. Hundreds of REDCOM switches have operated for years with no upgrades—by customer choice. With REDCOM, if a customer does not require an upgrade for technology reasons, then there is no reason to upgrade.

I'm not new to the IT industry, and have some basic knowledge of IT plus completing City & Guilds E-Qual Level 1 and OCR Clait for IT Users (New CLAIT) Level 1 certificates.
I normally come from a science/health medical background and worked in the NHS, however due unfortunate circurmstances, i lost my job in July 2011 and have been unemployed since. So i decided to change my direction and pursue futher in IT as i was also interested in IT system support and learn how to maintain and repair's PC.
I am now a student and started a City & Guilds Diploma for IT Practitioners LEVEL 2 in Janurary. I am hoping that i will able to pass this course go get the CompTIA A+ certification plus the IT Essentials 1 Certificate for Completion – CISCO ACADEMY and it will able to open up a new door to another oppotunity and career as a IT Techinican (entry level). From i'll decide if i want to progess to do the Advanced Diploma for IT Professionals Level 3 and gain a MCTS certification too.
I will let you know i get on with the course, and obviously as this part of IT will be new to me, i'll will most likely be asking for help and advice for my course. I am wondering if there is good for cram notes for CompTIA A+ exams 220-701/702 on this forum or a website?

Design brief
The America that Gordon Black grew up in was a land of economic opportunity, a democracy that worked most of the time for most of the people, and a culture that generously rewarded hard work, decency, kindness and imagination. Now in his 60's, Gordon Black's American has degenerated into a society of greater and greater inequality, a democracy that today functions only for the powerful and the connected, and a culture that has embraced greed, fatalism, negativity and conformity - a culture that rewards who you know more than what you are. . The Corn Is Forever is one man's story of overcoming tremendous odds to succeed, only to see the things he loved the most about his country taken from his children and grandchildren. The book is an appeal to Americans to take back what is rightfully theirs, and to restore our heritage of freedom and opportunity to our children and grandchildren.
Gordon S. Black, Ph.D.
The target audience for this memoir is the generation of Americans who grew up after World War II -- the nearly 100 million baby boomers who have lived through the changes that are obvious to all of them.
This is a cover for an unpublished autobiography of Gordon Black, the man who build Harris Interactive, the owner of the Harris Poll, into the largest Internet based polling firm in the world, and the fastest growing. This cover will appear on his book, which will published on a new site called Authorswithoutagents.com, which is a site designed to bring together budding authors and sophisticated and serious readers.

Most Helpful Reviews
I purchase this one as a replacement to my old Sears 6 gal shop vac. After 27 years of use it needed a motor. I think I got my money's worth. This unit does not have a large foot print and as many reviewers have mentioned before the size of the tank being vertical makes it easy to pull around a crowed shop, easy to park and does not tip over. Power is 3x greater than my old unit with 20% of the noise level. Cleaing cars and minivans is a snap. The hose size is a little strange but I have found some attachments that fit in nicely just by changing the hose with a longer crush proof unit. Thanks Sears for making a great product. Now if I can only figure out what replacement filters i can use.....

It is more compact than expected. My 12 gal xsp vac looks huge next to it. Sleek looking. Easy moving around. A lot of suction. The 1-7/8" hose is not causing any problem with a tool adapter attached.

Great purchase! Have used it several times and it has power, and great cleaning ability. Recomment it to everyone!

This worked very well pulling water out of a carpet. Discovered, however, when I wanted to use it with leaf attachment that there is no adapter for a 1-7/8 inch part. It's a non-standard size. Think about this if you want to use different attachments. You may not be able to & who needs 2 shop/vacs? If I hadn't tossed the box, back this would go. Would give it 4-1/2 stars if it hadn't been for this.

I wanted a wet/dry vac that was not too big; not too small. this one is perfect. Great suction; plenty of power/capacity. I especially like the stainless steel look compared to the standard plastic canisters.

I purchase this stylish looking, stainless steel housing unit to replacement my old shop vac. The assembly was a breeze and it comes with all the standard attachments and the filter. The suction is great and it is surprisingly quiet for 4HP motor. I am using the unit as a blower as well to clean my driveway and patio. So far I am very pleased with its performance and its design. The price was great after using my reward points and the coupon.

Braised Pork Loin Chops with Green Onion Are Gluten-Free and Paleo
The flavors of pork chops and green onion work together so that this easy recipe hardly needs much else. We like these braised chops often, so it's a good thing the boneless pork loin is so lean and quick to cook. When my family asks, "How long till supper is ready?" — I can tell them this will be ready soon!
It can be on the table in less than 30 minutes. That makes a great weeknight supper, but it tastes good enough for guests, too. Match it with a side dish of asparagus or green beans and possibly some potatoes for a well-rounded meal.

How To Follow A Paleo Diet
Have you ever wondered how to follow a Paleo Diet. Have you wondered if it would work for you?
I know I have.
And, because of that I began to investigate in, I think, October or November of 2012 about whether a "Gluten-Freer" could actually eat a Paleo Diet. This article gets into that and other important questions.
Its popularity began in the 1970s and has grown as more and more people have discovered the benefits of this highly nutritional approach to meeting our dietary needs.
Today's guest post is the transcript of an interview conducted by Nikki Young with Ursula Grobler, a world class rowing champion and a lover of the Paleo Diet.

Company expected to have an economic impact of $2.2 million annually
By Chris Fish
BREVARD -- The Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast announced on Thursday, April 4, that a North Carolina-based firearms manufacture is relocated to the Space Coast.
I.O. Inc., purchased a 51,000-square-foot building in Palm Bay, which officials said is estimated to create 53 jobs.
"With its competitive wages, broad financial impact and technological prerogative, manufacturing is a key segment of the Space Coast economy," said Lynda Weatherman, president and CEO of the EDC, in an email. "I.O. Inc., intends to embrace the core facets of manufacturing, with assembly and machining work, but also engineering and research elements. That blend ensures the company will add to our community's diverse economy in ways that are varied and long-lasting."
Officials said the jobs will average more than $43,000 annually and be created during the next year. The jobs include positions in assembly, machining and mechanical engineering.
At full employment, the company is expected to generate an economic impact of more than $2.2 million annually.
The company plans to invest nearly $2 million in capital expenditures, which includes nearly $700,000 in equipment, officials said.
Representatives from the EDC said the organization worked for more than a year with the firearms manufacturer by managing the site selection process and offering detailed wage and tax analyses, while also identifying property options.
President of I.O. Inc., Uli Wiegand said in a press release that the new operation will allow the company to implement its targeted sales increase initiative: taking annual sales from $10 million in 2012 to $16.8 million by 2014.
"With the specialized processes involved in our operations, we needed a site and community that allowed us to achieve our growth goals," he said. "The EDC made clear that the Space Coast offered both of those attributes: an excellent and flexible industrial property base and a workforce and technological climate that fit our needs perfectly."
I.O. Inc., plans to focus its Palm Bay operations on both manufacturing firearms and the engineering and design of future products. Officials said its goal is to have the majority of special components fabricated in-house, which requires the additional space the company has gained with its relocation.
"I.O. Inc., could have chosen any number of cities in the Southeast for its home, but it chose Palm Bay," said Palm Bay Mayor William Capote in a press release. "I.O. Inc., needed a community where it could grow and thrive, and we welcome the company to our Palm Bay business community."
Ms. Weatherman said the EDC currently has a few more projects in line for the Space Coast.
"While non-disclosure agreements preclude us from providing specifics, the EDC has a number of relocation and expansion projects in the pipeline in diverse industries, including aerospace and aviation, advanced communications, electronics and high-tech manufacturing," she said.

Reviews for Curried Coconut Chicken
Sort By :
My oldest son is allergic to wheat and egg, so I am always trying to find new tasty recipes that do not require substitutions. My younger son often does not like them, but he really liked this dish, almost as much as my husband and I! I recently made a dish with turmeric and only my husband liked it, so I used a Red Curry Powder that listed it lower on the ingredient list. It was also very easy to make which is essential for my busy schedule. This dish will probably be one of our new family favorites!
My husband likes curry, eldest son likes coconut, and I like ethnic cuisines; so, BONUS finding this perfect meal-match. It seemed too simple a recipe for a promising delicious dinner. I made it exactly as directed; however, I let it cook longer for browning. This allowed me time to go buy apricot preserves. Thank you for sharing this most excellent recipe. My four children, husband, and guests all voted this as "very delicious and must make again" which resulted becoming a "forever family favorite." Thanks from all eight of us who ate all of it!!!
so yummy!
I forgot to rate this recipe so here it is.
When I find a recipe I think I would like to try I usually will make some sort of changes as I go. This recipe is probably the only one I have just gone directly by the recipe as written. It turned out wonderful. I have made it many times and it is always a big hit. No need to change anything and so simple to make.

…but you can't take MSPP out of the girl!
Since I last wrote, I've been taking it easy and hanging out with friends and family while contemplating my next steps since finishing my MAOP. I am done with my degree, but MSPP and org. psych. are still very big parts of my life.
My former classmates are now friends and colleagues and this weekend, instead of reading texts for class, I put together a new bookshelf to house them. While I wasn't posting discussions on Moodle this week, I was casually Googling where I can get myself an MSPP hoodie (anyone know? :)). Also, as I am sure you can tell, I am still posting on this blog, which I love for allowing me to see into some of the other programs at the school!
I've also spent time at work continuing to plug away on the project I started for my field placement. Choosing to do my placement at my job was a good choice for me because it really allows me to carry out the project to the end. Not only is this great because I can learn about change process start to finish, it really gives our organization the full benefits of my work.
There are also some great MSPP events coming up for me in the near future, like a reception the OLP department is having later this month (stay tuned to hear about that when it comes) and, of course, Commencement in June! While I am finished with my degree now, there is something about a celebratory ceremony that really seals the deal for me. I can't wait to celebrate with all of my fellow MSPP grads!
I'm looking forward to those events and to continue being connected with the MSPP community well into the future. I've heard a lot of people talk about the strength of the community at MSPP and it's really true. Even as an online student (ah! I guess I am a recent grad now!), I still feel very much a part of the community at MSPP. Even though I never regularly attended classes on campus, I still feel that MSPP is just a part of my life going forward and I am very grateful for that.
For now, I'm off to do some more research on that hoodie situation :) Happy Monday!

MENLO PARK, Calif. -- Facebook is testing a new system which tracks the on-screen habits of users.
The scale of the data collection would be unprecedented with Facebook now surpassing 1 billion users.
Facebook analytics chief Ken Rudin told the Wall Street Journal the system can track exactly where users' mouse cursors hover. It can also monitor how mobile users see their news feeds.
The system is only in its testing phase, Rudin said, and Facebook won't make final decision on the technology until probably around the end of the year.
The data would primarily be used to improve targeted ads on the social media web site.
Users who are against the idea of Facebook using this technology to monitor on-screen habits can share their concerns online.

SCHLADMING, Austria -- Lindsey Vonn set a women's record for the most World Cup points in a season Saturday after finishing eighth in a slalom won by Austria's Michaela Kirchgasser.
Vonn reached 1,980 points to beat the mark of 1,970 set by Janica Kostelic of Croatia in 2006.
"I am very happy with that," said Vonn, the overall champion who needs 21 points in Sunday's giant slalom to also overtake Austrian great Hermann Maier's 12-year-old record of 2,000 points.
Vonn will need to finish 12th or better to overtake Maier and match his record by placing 13th.
"I hope I can do it tomorrow. I will fully attack," she said. "I am going to take risks, but I will also ski smart."
The American said it was her goal to get a few points from the slalom -- her weakest discipline -- to make Sunday's task a little easier.
"Slalom has been a struggle for me in the last couple of years," she said. "I've got a couple of top 10s this season but have not been finishing very often so it was good step for me."
After a clear, cold night, the sunshine softened the snow and made for difficult conditions.
"It was definitely really warm for the second run," Vonn said. "It was tough. I personally don't do well with really soft conditions. I struggled a little bit and maybe didn't ski as aggressively as I could have done. But I had two solid runs without major mistakes."
Vonn is also an outside contender for the GS title. She has to win the race while leader Viktoria Rebensburg of Germany fails to score points.
In that case, Vonn would win her record fifth crystal globe of the season after the overall championship, downhill, super-G and super combined titles.
"I've got a minor chance," said Vonn, who won her first GS race this season. "I will give everything and hope to make the podium."
Marie-Michele Gagnon of Lac-Etchemin, Que., was sixth, a week after claiming her first World Cup podium -- a bronze medal in Sweden. She finishes the season ranked 10th in the world in slalom.
"This is above expectations for me," said Gagnon. "I was hoping to be top 15 in one discipline this year and to be in the top 10 is great. I'm really confident I will (be better) in the giant slalom next year as well."
Kirchgasser finished in one minute 32.57 seconds for her third career victory. She was followed by Veronika Zuzulova of Slovakia and Marlies Schild of Austria.
Gagnon finished in 1:33.55 seconds.
"It's great confirmation, one good race after the other," said Canadian coach Hugues Ansermoz. "(Gagnon) had a little mistake on the first run. Second run was a great run -- also with a little mistake -- but she is again close to the podium. It's such an incredible end to the season for Mitch."
Erin Mielzynski of Guelph, Ont., gold medallist in a World Cup slalom earlier this month, went out in her first run Saturday.
"I felt ready to race today," Mielzynski said. "I've been training quite well. At the start I felt good and next thing I know, I'm on the ground."
Schild had already clinched the slalom title. She won six slalom races this season and 33 overall, leaving her one short of Swiss great Vreni Schneider's record.
"I hoped to get that 34th victory today," the world slalom champion said. "But finishing third was OK and there is always something you can do better next season."
Zuzulova led after the first run and finished 0.12 behind. Zuzulova has had 13 top-three finishes in the World Cup but has yet to win, more than any other female skier.

We're officially one week away from San Diego Comic-Con's Preview Night, or what is better associated as the unofficial first day of the convention. Yes, we're excited too.

Seniors steadily stepped forward, following the melody of "Pomp and Circumstance," while parents shifted in their seats, awaiting to show their affection and support for the local graduates.
Each student beamed with pride from under their mortarboards and tassels, often waving to select friends or sharing handshakes and high fives. A few were even in disbelief, and could hardly imagine a life without school.
"It feels different," said Del Puerto graduate Victor Balderas. "I can't process it in my head. I'm happy that high school is finally finished, but it's weird to think I may never be in a classroom again."
Many students at Del Puerto High shared similar sentiments, believing it almost improbable to finish their high school education.
Del Puerto's ceremony, held in the Creekside Middle School gymnasium, was heavy with excitement as graduates Lesley Rodney-Anderson, Neida Cardenas and Melissa Brambila keenly reminisced with their teachers and peers about their time at school.
Valedictorian William Bria and salutatorian Mirannayziah Banks were also honored at the ceremony.
Tonya Bibbins, the principal of Del Puerto High, also shared a warm, insightful message to her students about the importance of perseverance and dedication, while highlighting many milestones throughout the year.
"Many of these students overcome immense obstacles, not just in school, but outside the campus," said Bibbins. "Some started college, families, careers—and some were doing all three… These kids feel like our own in many ways and we are really sad to see them go, but we know they are ready. Their opportunities are boundless, as are their imagination."
Patterson High School also had its commencement celebration just hours after Del Puerto's at Patterson Community Stadium, where attendees packed the stands.
The ceremony, led by an introduction by ASB President Zantino Bustos, honored valedictorian Brooke Hejnal and salutatorian Edgar Rodriguez, as well as 19 other students who achieved a 4.0 grade-point-average or higher.
Rodriguez spoke on behalf of the scholars, stating that high school was quite similar to that of a rollercoaster ride. As with other graduates, he too could not believe their time had come.
"These past four years have been a struggle," said Rodriguez at the podium, "but I wouldn't give them up for anything. I'm so dumbfounded by the fact that we are graduating tonight. Now we say goodbye to everything that is comfortable—everything that was familiar. What will come, will come."
Principal David Stubbs also spoke passionately about select students regarding their positive impact at PHS. He broke his speech into three categories, or rather three points for the graduates to ponder as they move forward with their lives.
The first point suggested that the students continue giving their time and talents to those around them. He asked graduate Tina Oliva to stand, as he felt she best represented this point.
Oliva, who is known for her dedication and commitment to the elderly, homeless and various causes, became what it meant to represent a selfless, giving attitude.
Stubbs then asked Zantino Bustos to stand, and honored him for his contribution and innovative efforts for the school.
Bustos, the school's former ASB president, was noted as being the most involved ASB president within the last seven years, and one that will continue to leave a lasting legacy for years to come.
Stubbs noted the importance of thinking outside the box, and asked the class of 2014 to have the strength to break out of the ordinary or familiar.
During his last point, he asked the students to commit to something positive. Seth Fairchild, a young man who has been battling cancer throughout most of his high school career, was asked to stand.
Stubbs shared a tearful account of the time he has spent with Fairchild, but also noted the need to remain upbeat and positive—no matter what frailties lie ahead. He said Fairchild had become a symbol of hope, which he knows will spark his own determination.
Each youth received a whirlwind of support before Stubbs' closing narrative.
"I am confident that you are all prepared for the good times and challenges ahead," said Stubbs. "I personally challenge the class of 2014 to create opportunities for those around you. By doing so, your life will be one of fulfillment, reward and opportunity."

Early Years
Benga was born around 1883 and raised in the Kasai River region of the Congo, then owned by King Leopold II of Belgium and called the "Congo Free State." Reportedly a member of the Badi Pygmy tribe, he was approximately 4 feet, 9 inches tall and weighed about 100 pounds. His front teeth were filed to sharp points in the traditional manner of Congolese Pygmies.
Benga's wife and two children, along with many others in their tribe, were killed in a raid on their camp by the territorial police force sometime around 1903 or 1904. Benga was captured and later sold into slavery in a distant village. In March 1904, Presbyterian missionary and adventurer Samuel Phillips Verner discovered Benga for sale in the village's slave market. Verner, who was on a special mission to bring Pygmies from the Congo to the St. Louis World's Fair, purchased Benga's freedom for a pound of salt and a bolt of cloth.
Travels with Verner
Benga helped Verner collect artifacts and specimens and procure rubber and ivory for resale. Like the fictional duo Robinson Crusoe and Friday, Verner and Benga became close friends, with Benga once telling Verner he would commit suicide if Verner did not take him on a return trip to America.
In 1904 Benga was largely responsible for convincing eight Pygmies to travel with him and Verner to the St. Louis World's Fair, where they became the premier "anthropology" exhibition.
Bronx Zoo and Howard Colored Orphan Asylum
During that September, tens of thousands of people came to see the famous Pygmy who shared a cage with an Asian orangutan, several chimpanzees, and a parrot. Zookeepers designed a matinee "exhibit" almost devoid of educational content and heavy on P. T. Barnum–style entertainment. The intense and unrelenting spotlight eventually riled Benga. Jeering spectators constantly ridiculed and teased him, and whenever he ventured outside the Primate House, he required police protection from the crowds.
On September 27, 1906, Verner delivered Benga to the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum in Brooklyn. Benga spent the next three years there and at the orphanage's satellite farm on Long Island, New York. In 1907 Verner offered to take Benga with him back to the Congo, but Benga declined, having decided to make a new life on his own in America.
Final Years in Lynchburg
The close-knit seminary community embraced Benga. He lived in the heart of campus, first with widowed store owner Josephine Anderson and later with Mary Rice Hayes, Gregory Hayes's widow and a former seminary president herself. Benga tried attending elementary classes at the college, but he gradually gave up his formal education for other pursuits. He did chores and odd jobs in exchange for room and board, and he earned a modest income as a day laborer and tobacco factory worker.
Benga spent most of his free time in forests and the countryside. He often hunted with a small band of young admirers, including Mary Rice Hayes's three sons and Chauncey Spencer. He taught them to hunt, fish, and gather wild honey just as he had done in the forests of the Congo. Benga also befriended Chauncey's mother, Anne Spencer, a poet who taught at the seminary. He and Spencer shared a special affinity for the natural world, and he was a frequent visitor to her renowned garden, Edankraal, on Pierce Street.
Suicide and Burial
On March 20, 1916, Benga committed suicide in a stable behind Josephine Anderson's house. A coroner's inquest determined that he died by self-inflicted pistol shot to the left breast. A group described as the "Baptist Ministers Conference, colored" hired a local black funeral home to embalm Benga and oversee his funeral and burial.
On Wednesday, March 22, Benga's funeral was held at Diamond Hill Baptist Church in Lynchburg, followed by interment in the Old City Cemetery. Strong and persistent oral history suggests Benga's body was removed sometime later to Lynchburg's White Rock Cemetery. No documentation of disinterment or reburial has been found, and no grave marker has survived in either cemetery.
Time Line
ca. 1883 - Ota Benga, reportedly a member of the Badi Pygmy tribe, is born in the Kasai River region of the Congo.
ca. 1903 or 1904 - The wife and two children of Ota Benga, an African Pygmy living in the Kasai River region of the Congo, are killed in a raid on their camp by the territorial police force. Benga is later captured and sold into slavery.
1904–1906 - Ota Benga and Samuel P. Verner travel across Africa together and make several trips to the United States, including one in 1904 when Benga and eight other Pygmies appear at the St. Louis World's Fair.
September 27, 1906 - Samuel P. Verner delivers his friend Ota Benga to the Howard Colored Orphan Asylum in Brooklyn, New York. Benga spends the next three years there and at the orphanage's satellite farm in Long Island, New York.
1907 - Samuel P. Verner offers to return his friend Ota Benga to his native Congo but Benga declines, deciding to make a new life on his own in the United States.
January 1910 - Ota Benga moves to Lynchburg, Virginia, to attend the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. He becomes friends with the seminary's president, his wife, and their kids, as well as Lynchburg poet Anne Spencer.
March 20, 1916 - His attempts at assimilation having failed, the African Pygmy Ota Benga commits suicide in Lynchburg. He is interred in the Old City Cemetery there.

NORFOLK -- Nearly two dozen people have signed up to speak out against the imminent move of three eagle nests at Norfolk Botanical Garden.
They'll present petitions with hundreds of signatures to keep the nests up at Tuesday night's Council meeting.
They'll have at least one member who agrees.
"We are making a rash decision on something that has no guarantee," believes Councilman Tommy Smigiel.
Federal, state and local wildlife officials said one complete nest and two partial nests need to be removed because of the danger to wildlife and aircraft coming and going from nearby Norfolk International Airport. The FAA cited concerns about four bald eagles being struck by aircraft in the last 10 years. The USDA identified bald eagles as "an extremely high" hazard risk to aircraft.
The city has applied for state and federal permits to remove the nests before nesting season begins in the next few months.
Smigiel would like to delay the removal of the nests for a year to look at options to save the eagles and the flying public, like a radar system to warn planes.

Oooh I like that Red Bug, cute!!!
Oooh I like that Red Bug, cute!!!
Things are a little crazy, but I'm loving every minute of it My Blog
Booooooooooo, Kate! lol.....Cars are very individual to taste, aren't they?
I like them. But like Bridget, I always wanted a Vw Van. Those are suhweeeeeeeeeeeeet! Now that is ONE vehicle if they put a new one out I'd find a way to get. (Maybe a couple years after the release though, too expensive to buy new)
But I love my van. My mom had a Caravan for over 10 years and never had any issues with it. We always get the better models though with the highly rated engines. I have a 3.3L, there is another version of the engine that has bad reviews but mine is really good and even my new mechanic has told me that since I got my tranny re-built (I NEVER buy a used tranny since you don't know if they have issues and new ones costs too much IMO so I just get them re-built) my van should last for another 100K miles. It has about 178K on it right now and runs great and is a smooth ride.
My grandpa worked for and retired from Chrysler so they hold a spot in my heart, lol. But generally speaking, I prefer Hondas and Toyotas. VW too, though I've never driven one.
Erin, your mileage made me smile. Dh has had his car for 13 years and it has 45,000 miles on it. Lol. That's an American vs British thing. I kind of laugh inside when people talk about distance here. Like, they'll say, I had to drive 10 miles to get to so and so like it's 100 miles away.
So did my dad Liz....the plant in Kenosha most of my life. Probably why I have always pretty much had them.
And wow to the miles Erin! I have never had a car go that high. But we don't drive that much. Our 2002 Cruiser has under 50K and my Caliber has under 43K...he's a 2007. The Caliber is the one we will trade in for the minivan. We were planning on keeping Caliber until he fell apart but we will need the space of a minivan once we have the baby. As it is, it's going to be hard to get both dogs...Poogie rides in a kennel still, the litter box, our luggage, laptop, dogs food and all their supplies....plus us in the car when we go down to visit family next time.
Hi, guys. I just wanted to drop in and say . I am buried in work again, and feeling a little downtrodden because I am doing something really hard and time-consuming - aka "this is going to take 150 dedicated hours... as in that's how long it'll take me if I had nothing else to do... which isn't the case because I'm actually working concurrently on at least 2 other projects of the same size. From the beginning, I told my lead that it was going to be this hard and take this long. And since it's ultimately his project and it's making him look behind schedule, he's stressed out. So today he tried the tactic of telling me that "others" are unhappy with me that it's taking so long. Typical BS from him, where he thinks he's motivating me by expressing - not his own criticism because he's too much of a wuss to speak for himself - but how nameless others have criticized me. He forgets that just last Friday he told me how he was the one silently panicking about the timelines HE committed us to. If people are unhappy with me because it's taking too long, it's because he ignored all my warnings about how long it was going to take and made unrealistic promises to people. So anyway, I'm just annoyed that I see him trying to "whip me" into finishing sooner by attempting to make me feel self-conscious about what other people might be saying about me. It really doesn't make the actual task any less complex, nor does it motivate me to try any harder. It just makes me think the guy is a weasel and a weenie.
OK. Thank you for letting me pop in and just vent for a second. I'll let you return back to your regularly scheduled programming.

The new VW bug is cute! It reminds me more of the original bug than the one they made a few years ago.
My brother had a VW bus. I remember he took about 7 people to Mexico in it when he was 20 or so. Ah, memories - and in that case they weren't even my memories!

Miss you 'round here, Myles! Hope the workload eases up soon.
Yeah we have never gotten higher than miles so not a factor in a new car. Usually it's been because it's starting to need repairs that are more than it's worth....and we cannot do the work ourselves. My buick was low miles but old (a granny had it before me). I wanted a new car and the repairs were more than we wanted to pay. Sold it to a guy who knew how to fix cars and he was giving it to his 16 yr old daughter....perfect teenager car...very solid and drove well in the snow.
Love both our cars....just wish one was bigger.
We drive our van to Ohio and Chicago usually at least 3-4 times per year and also go on trips in the state. We also drove to Disney when we went. Ironically, we have very short commutes so most of the miles came from road trips. We live only 1.5 miles from our jobs and the longest drive of my day is taking Ky to school and that is around a 6 mile ride round trip.
We bought it used though and it already had around 50K miles on it when we bought it. I also don't usually consider mileage though when buying a vehicle and I especially wouldn't worry about high mileage on a Honda. My dad had a Honda with 400K miles on it almost, I think it was in the 380K range and the only reason he got rid of it was because someone crashed into it and totaled it. He wasn't attached like your husband Ash and let them take it and got a "Heavy Chevy." He still has that car, it is a 1989 Chevy Caprice.
I think we're a lot alike Erin.
The little VW bug was my dream car, I never did get one. I saw one the other day with huge long eye lashes on the headlights. Not something I would do, but I laughed when I saw it.
Lisa, I remember when we went through the sleepless stage, it's so hard!
Bridget, your MIL needs to meet my MIL, when she is here this summer she *will* drive me crazy. My dad and step mom have been visiting for a week, and there have been times when my dad's patience is tested. The thing is, he is 80 and set in his ways, so any little thing can set him off. But most the time I can make him laugh to get over it. My mil, on the other hand, I just want to poke her in the eye. But she is my son's grandma and he loves her, so I just pinch myself. I literally have done that, pinched myself to keep my mouth shut. And I am the most non confrontational person, she just pushes my buttons, I know she actually thrives on pushes people's buttons.
When I was little my mom called the liquor store the "candy store", we lived in a tiny town of 1,100 people and she would walk into the store and leave me in the car. I never understood when she came back, I never got any "candy". I still remember when I was about nine years old, and I was finally allowed inside the store with her, I looked at those bottles of booze, thinking "huh? where is the candy?!" talk about a disappointment!
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
I actually normally buy my wine at the grocery store too. In my town it's separate, but connected so you can pay for it in the liquor store and take it with you in the grocery part. Once in Hawaii we had friends coming for dinner so I went to buy a 12 pack of their favorite beer at the grocery store. I walked everywhere then and Savana had just learned to walk so she would often want out of her stroller to walk. So when we left the grocery store I had the 12 pack in her stroller seat and she was walking. Two guys passed me on the sidewalk and were laughing so hard at that scene. Up until then I'd hadn't thought about how it could look as if I made my baby get up so I had somewhere to put my beer.
Today was good. No major damage. The only thing that happened was that I was supposed to return some movies that her and dbf had rented for us a few days ago when i took the kids out and I totally forgot. I saw them on the seat of my van this morning and actually meant to hide them, return them on my own and pay the fine so i wouldn't have to hear dbf moan about the late fines. He gets really bent about stuff like that. But they took the van to the store today and when they got home I asked dbf if they returned them and said I was sorry about that. So a few hours later mil says to me, "You didn't return those movies like you said you would so I had to pay $8!"
I said, "I am so sorry about that. I wish M would have paid the fine." And she said, "He offered lots of times but I didn't let him. I wanted to take care of it."
"Oh, so that you could come home and let me know about it?" I said. I was laughing when I said it but come on. If you want to take care of it out of kindness then you don't come home and ***** about it.
And then of course there was the ridiculous convo right before she went to bed where she referred to "stupid Americans" and "stupid mexicans". She acts like Canadians are so enlightened compared to us doofus americans. Her and I probably share a lot of political views but any group generalizations, especially demeaning ones, really bug me and make me not want to listen to people anymore.
In this region a lot of people call the liquor store the package store. I was walking around downtown when I was a teenager and someone asked me where the package store was (an adult, I don't know why he'd ask a teenager). I thought he meant the UPS pickup place and I pointed him in the totally wrong direction
Bridget, I swear my mil would say the same thing regarding the late fee! And she has made comments about Americans too. Once she said Gilly wasn't American, I was standing right there, and I laughed and yes he is. She acted all flustered, and said oh yes I guess you're right. Um yes, he was born in this country, so he is in fact, American. One time when she heard dh say "living room" she wrinkled up her nose, "Oh Tim don't say living room, it's SO American" I was standing right there, wtf? she actually expected dh to call it a drawing room or sitting room. I am sorry, but we don't use those terms here. So of course, I made a point to use the words "living room" a lot that day. snark.
my eye has been bugging me all night, I just went to wash my face, and I have a sty in my eye. I have never had one. anyone know how to get rid of it?
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
Dangit. I just got an email from my dad that they found 3 more skin cancer spots on his face and neck. One is melanoma. I just hope that because he gets checked so regularly that it hasn't had time to grow deeper than the skin. He also said he's having an mri because he's been "having headaches". Can't help but wonder if there is more going on. He at least has had to be having these headaches for quite some time now because they wouldn't just jump to an mri would they? I am not anywhere near a place where I can accept that my dad could ever be sick. I have been crying off and on all morning now and I need to just relax until we know what's going on. It's so easy to assume the worst isn't it? Especially after you've seen the worst.
I'm going to attempt a trip to a place called Cave of the Mounds on friday with the kids and mil. I don't think dbf is going to come with us because of course he's hemming and hawing. I just hope it goes smoothly. Every time one of the kids acts out she has a comment. I just don't understand because, sure, she'd probably not have let her kids "get away with" throwing tantrum, or leave the table without eating, or get 3 outfits muddy in one day. But she has tearfully told me before that she wished she'd been a more patient mother and that she actually doled out some pretty harsh wuppins (just to dbf, not his sister because she didn't know how to handle a boy) and regrets it very much. So why not embrace my style? I know my kids act nuts sometimes but they are supposed to act nuts. They are kids! And as a whole, they are awesome, thoughtful, self motivated, creative, well behaved children. Every time they "screw up" it is not a direct result of my parenting. Why am I telling all of this to you guys? lol. I'm pretending you are her.
It's perfectly normal to be frantic with worry about your dad Bridget. Oh goodness...none of you need this scare. I do think they might just to an mri just based on the one melonoma positive result. Kinda of a 'better safe than sorry' approach and it likely doesn't mean anything. I really hope everything goes well for him.
And you mil...ugh. You're absolutely right. Your kids are perfectly normal and likely better behaved than most. She has regrets-so she should be grateful you aren't like her in parenting. Even if she didn't have regrets, they're your kids! I always said it with humor, but I sorta meant it when I'd tell our family members, "You messed up your kids your way, I'm going to mess up mine my way." Of course I didn't believe I would mess mine up. I was gonna be perfect. But I digress....
My 16 year old cat isn't doing well. We've decided to just let her die peacefully but I don't know if that's going to work. She was just skin and bones for months now and suddenly really started losing a lot of weight (I didn't think it was possible!). This morning she looks like she has a bad cold. If she is acting like it's hard to breath tonight, I'm taking her to the vet. She had pooped a bit and puked on the living room floor in the night. That's only the 2nd time she's ever done that. The first time was when she'd been hit by a car and it only happened one time. I bent down to kiss the top of her head this morning and the dear was purring. Even as sick as she is, she's a happy kitty. And now I have tears in my eyes again. Bobbie and Jessie were just 3 and 2 years old when we got her.
(Hugs), Bridget. In the end, with your MIL, I think you do best by just letting the comments roll of you and keep doing what you're doing becase you know your kids best and what works for them. I'm sorry to hear that about your dad. It's made me all teary-eyed for you. What will happen with the cancer spots on his face? Do they surgically remove those?
Shelley, your MIL sounds like a real piece of work with those kinds of comments. And you can tell her that Northern English folk do indeed say living room! Drawing/sitting room is so archaic!
Man, we are having a rough day here. It's been raining since Monday afternoon and hasn't stopped. It's not been too bad entertaining just Cash since Travis was at school M-W but today with both of them, it's been nuts. And I had to go out in the pouring down rain in to town with them both to get Travis' glasses bent back in to shape at the opticians before we go on our cruise (We leave for the hotel tomorrow afternoon). I parked up and ran to the machine to pay the meter and the one closest to us was out of order, so I had to then go to the other one. Then, I pust Cash in his stroller and tried to put the plastic rain cover over him and he went mental like he was having a claustrophobic attack from being enclosed, so I took it off. Then Travis was insisting on carrying his teddy bear and a toy from the car, so I just shouted at him to hurry up. We got sorted with his glasses and did some other tasks since we were out and then got back to the car and Travis sat there with his window rolled down in the heavy rain while I put the stroller down and buckled Cash in to his seat, so I shouted at him again. We got home and I was just drenched with rain! Ugh. I hate this weather. It makes my mood so horrible! And now I feel horrible for shouting at Travis and for swearing under my breath so much (I am not much of a swearer usually).
Oh, Chrissy, I am so sorry about your kitty. That same thing happened with our chihuahua. She was 17 when she died. She just shrivelled away and could barely move, so my parents had her put down; they couldn't stand to see her like that. And now I'm crying for you, too. (Big, big hugs).
Chrissy, I am so sorry about your kitty. It's very sad when pets are suffering. I hope she can go peacefully.
Ash, I hope your day gets better. Forgive yourself and move on is the best thing you can do. We've all been there.
My dad has had several spots removed over the years. More than I can count. All three types of skin cancer but it never makes it less scary to hear the dreaded melanoma.
He says the mri has nothing to do with the skin cancer.
I actually have fond memories of "the liquor sto." We went with my dad to a store called "State Line Liquor." I could read really early and I found it fascinating that the store was called "state line." I would always try to find the line on the ground and my brother and I would debate about which line in the parking lot was the state line LOL. Mostly we went to State Line Liquor on Sunday because in Ohio there was no Sunday liquor sales but there was in MI and since MI was only a 15 minute ride away, we would go to State Line. There was a fire works store across the parking lot and right next to the liquor store was a seafood place, actually they were in the same building and you could walk into the seafood store (fresh fish, not a restaurant) and buy some fish, which my mom did quite often. My dad was an alcoholic and drank a lot of liquor so we went to State Line probably ever Sunday. We only were allowed in when he was buying fish too. I remember him buying E&J and cat fish, we would go home and he'd fry us up some cat fish and he drink E&J with Coke after we ate.
I have never even thought about taking my kids into a liquor store. I have only gone to one maybe 3 times in my adult life. I just know I am happy that they got rid of the Sunday alcohol sales here in GA last year and now I can buy cooking wine to make chicken marsala on Sunday if I want to. I kept forgetting about it and then running to the store for Marsala wine or a good red wine to make a dish and they wouldn't sale it to me and it would really piss me off and I'd think about how I wish there was a State Line Liquor store I could go to.
Bridget I also got teary thinking of your dad. I hope all is well for him as I so don't want him to be ill just out of selfishness since I don't want you to be worried or concerned about him in that way. I'm happy he is proactive about his checkups. There is a new documentary coming out on Facebook about Bob Marley and a radio station I was listening to yesterday were talking about him and how he died of skin cancer due to him not wanting to follow a treatment plan (they wanted to cut off his toe as he had a melanoma on his toe and he wouldn't let them). The DJs were all talking about how it is so smart to be proactive in treating moles and getting regular checkups for skin cancer. Even though it is rare black people get it too but are less likely to have regular checkups and die at a higher rate because of it.
And your MIL....makes me want to come visit you when she visits next time so I can counter all of her snide remarks. I remember you saying how helpful she was last time she came to visit so I hope at least she is helping like before, but man...those comments would really bother me too and I would use my sugary, syrupy sweet voice to counter her remarks with some common sense.

A long-standing ritual begins Sunday.
Hurricane season is upon us again Floridas version of a never-ending Ground Hog Day.
But theres good news in this cycle: The predictions call for the number of named storms through Nov. 30 at roughly 10, with five morphing into full-fledged hurricanes and only two of these actually threatening us.
And theres encouraging news from the states largest insurer, Citizens Property Insurance: Its coffers are brimming and at the ready to withstand the financial hit of a Category 4, a la Hurricane Andrew.
We havent heard talk like that in a long time.
Going into the 2014 hurricane season, we are in the best financial shape weve been since we were established in 2002, company spokesman Michael Peltier told the Editorial Board.
Thats comforting news for the companys 940,000 statewide homeowner policy holders 458,000 of them live in Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe and Palm Beach counties.
The devastating run of storms in 2004 and 2005, which depleted Citizens and the now $13 billion strong Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, have faded from memory. And that lull in storms is one of the reasons Citizens has been able to repair its finances, replenishing its coffers to a current $7.3 billion surplus.
Another way Citizens bounced back was by dropping nearly 600,000 Florida policyholders. That hurt in the pocketbook and the wallet.
The painful extrication of so many of us has done wonders for Citizens.
Good for the insurer, but bad for so many of us who were kicked out and are now paying higher premiums. As a consequence, Citizens has weathered some negative press in recent years.
Private companies, like Universal Property and Casualty and State Farm, have acquired thousands of Floridians policies through bundled take-outs. A clearinghouse now gives private firms the first look at new policies. That process will continue.
Angry over the financial toll that Florida residents absorbed, Dominic M. Calabro of Florida TaxWatch issued a statement, urging state insurance reform: We are still paying for the storms that hit our shores 10 years ago, through assessments on our insurance policies, he said.
He makes a good point.
Every hurricane season is a crap shoot. And this season there is an added concern, mainly for Miami Beach.
What if storms coincide with high-tide floodings currently plaguing that city? That could introduce a new kind of storm damage to our area. Lets hope not.
As for the notorious roll call of storm names for this year, here it is: Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal, Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna, Isaias, Josephine, Kyle, Laura, Marco, Nana, Omar, Paulette, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred.
We all know the get-ready drill should any of them approach. And if the bad one comes our way, South Florida residents should make sure that they have food and water sufficient for at least 72 hours.
This week is a good time to stock up on supplies. Its the Hurricane Supplies Sales Tax Holiday, which means consumers wont have to pay tax on things such as flashlights, batteries and generators.
And heres hoping that South Florida gets to the other side of hurricane season intact and unscathed.
