Recent Virgin Gorda reviews
"If you want to experience a home set in a tropical paradise overlooking the endless shades of blue of the Caribbean, look no further. From the very first outreach about booking to the conclusion of our trip, Michael was beyond helpful and provided details around every aspect of the travel to and from the island as well as the home itself. House Manager Tiina met us at the dock, get us set with our rental car, took us to get provisions and got us all settled in the villa. She is amazing and such a great resource during our stay. The photos cannot do justice to the spectacular views from almost every side of the villa itself. You almost can't believe it's real and right in front of you. The home is built into the hillside overlooking the sea and Leverick Bay beneath and is surrounded by lush, flowering tropical plants and trees for complete privacy. All of the furnishings, including some custom made, are very comfortable and functional in addition to being perfect for the home's style. We spent hours on the deck recliners enjoying the view of the water and boats of all kinds coming and going after a full day of snorkeling, beach time and exploring. This home and Virgin Gorda are the perfect destination for water sports lovers, beach enthusiasts, snorkelers and divers, and anyone who loves beauty and relaxation on "island time." Visit Spring Bay, Long Bay and Valley Truck Bay for great snorkeling. Savannah Bay was also a wonderful day. Can't go wrong with any of the beaches. Take the free ferry to Bitter End Yacht Club for some brick over pizza and the best key lime pie. Visit Hog Heaven for the spectacular views and great food -- ribs, fried chicken and fresh potato salad were among our favorites. Ride out of the Copper Mine ruins (closed in the mid-1800s) and get great views of the Atlantic side of the island. The Top of the Baths restaurant is always a great lunch stop but go back at dinner for a more upscale dining experience and menu - on certain nights they also have a fire dancer which was awesome. We had a great experience with Mahogany car rentals as well. My only hesitation is recommending is that everyone will discover this treasure making it harder for us to find an open date next time we visit -- and we will. Thanks for a vacation of a lifetime!"Guest: CIndy C. Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: June 3, 2016View listing
"Casa Luna is a hidden gem! It's nestled beneath the beautiful tamarind trees so it stays nice and cool. Casa Luna is great for a small family getaway or even for a couple. It has a nice working kitchen and the bath is a good size too. It's pretty private and only a 3 min walk to the beach called Spring Bay. The water is amazing and the snorkling is spectacular! If you need snorkel gear, you can just walk next door and rent it from Tina at Guava Berry. There is also a cute little commissary where you can get food and happy hours beverages if you don't want to go into town. We can't wait to go back to VG and stay in our favorite little hide away, Casa Luna."Guest: Nettyj Date of Stay: April 2016 Review Submitted: May 1, 2016View listing
"We found Bigger Splash to be a perfect home for our family vacation. From the booking process thru Debbie meeting us at the ferry our expectations were met and or exceeded. Beautifully decorated and maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to prepare a meal there. Walking distance to "The Baths". A short drive to other area attractions. The master suite provided a stress free environment for our daughter to prepare for her wedding at a local restaurant. The open floor plan is amazing, we never felt like it was crowded. Pool area and surrounding landscaping was breath taking. Would definitely recommend staying at Bigger Splash and not hesitate to book it again. thanks for a wonderful experience and for sharing your home. Jay & Deb."Guest: Jay C.

"We stayed here for a week during our recent week long dive vacation. The Villa itself has quite a bit of room, and easily held our 8 folks in 5 bedrooms. The pool and hot tub were great to have and were well used. There is enough seating for eating meals inside or out; and lounging around inside or out. The pool and outside area of the Villa had an assortment of lounge chairs, chairs with ottomans and simple chairs. There were also beach chairs we didn't get to use. The outside area also has a nice combination of covered and non-covered areas, so depending on whether or not you want sun or shade, it's all there. The views out over the bay were awesome. As the week went on, we were pretty convinced there is nothing you would ever need in a Villa that wasn't somewhere on the premises. As an example, we looked for an ice cream scoop and finally found there were actually 2 of them. In addition to the well supplied Villa, Tiina (spelled the "correct" way) was awesome to deal with. From the get go, she wasn't concerned about getting a deposit there in 24-48 hours like others asked for. Final payment was also a breeze. She also had plenty of info on getting there, where to shop, eat and things to do. She also lives right there, so anything that comes up during the stay, it's easy to find her to get it fixed. Her laid back attitude made it a very pleasant stay. All 8 of our group said they'd come back and stay here in a heartbeat. It was a great week, especially combined with diving with Sunchaser based right near the Villa."Guest: Barbara Date of Stay: October 2015 Review Submitted: November 3, 2015View listing

Arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides (AR-CPPs) are very promising tools for the delivery of therapeutic macromolecules such as peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids. These peptides allow efficient internalization of the linked cargos intracellularly through the endocytic pathway. However, when linked to bulky cargos, entrapment in the endocytic vesicles is a major limitation to the application of these peptides in cytosolic delivery. Attachment of a compatible endosomal escape device is, therefore, necessary to allow cytosolic delivery of the peptide-attached cargo. This review presents different endosomal escape devices currently in application in combination with AR-CPPs. Applications of fusogenic lipids, membrane-disruptive peptides, membrane-disruptive polymers, lysosomotropic agents, and photochemical internalization to enhance the cytosolic delivery of AR-CPPs-attached cargos are presented. The properties of each system and its mechanism of action for the enhancement of endosomal escape are discussed, together with its applications for the delivery of different macromolecules in vitro and, if applicable, in vivo.

Bike Hartford
Watch area for bicycle-related issues in the Hartford area.
Notified About
Dangerous sand buildup ArchivedOn Rt. (State Highway) 32 At The Bottom Of Coventry Rd Mansfeild Center, CT - Tolland County
There is 1"-2" buildup of sand washed onto route 32 at the bottom of Coventry Road. any child on a bicycle or any motorcycle turning onto or exiting Coventry Rd. is in extreme danger of loseing control at this intersection. It was cleaned up once but it desperetly needs to be done again before someone looses a life.
This is an update to my original report. As of 07/15/2011 this matter seems to have been ignored. The highway Dept. in Bolton is responsable for this strech of highway. It is in Mansfield Center.
East St Middletown, CT 06457 - MiddletownSpeed of traffic is a problem for residents and walkers. Route 217 is a State road and goes through a residential area. There is a high density of Middletown residents living off of Route 217 and with the recent addition of a 55 and over residential housing development this further adds more people to the density of this area. We need sidewalks to allow people to walk and ride bikes as well as traffic signs to break up flow of traffic to reduce speed. Sidewalks would also help to further develop a neighborhood atmosphere .

Zoning Archived866-868 Park Street Hartford, Connecticut - Frog Hollow
It appears that a chop shop is being run out the back of 866-868 Park Street. Backyard is littered with bicycle parts and a stolen bike was reportedly sold out front.
This is both a police and a zoning issue.
1-39 Hawthorn Street Hartford, Connecticut - Asylum Hill
Several months ago I reported that dangerous storm grates were being installed as part of the road construction associated with Fastrak station. It appears that the same style of grates continues to be installed. The grates have long slots parallel to the direction of travel and could cause a catastrophic bicycle crash. This style of storm grate has been phased out for obvious safety and liability reasons.
Curious how the contractor has managed to not correct this issue, particularly with design standards and a previous SeeClickFix report. The CT Fastrak project is clearly intended to serve more than car drivers, and I would expect the road projects adjacent to the stations to have special attention paid to "Complete Streets" design tenets.
Snow/Ice Removal from Bike Lane Archived360 Broad Street Hartford, Connecticut - Downtown
Money was spent to install bike lanes on one block of Broad Street, but we may as well have flushed those dollars. Instead of clearing the roadway curb-to-curb, the DPW plowed it into the bike lane, making that unusable to cyclists. Predictably, when we ask for bike lanes in other places in Hartford, we'll be told this won't happen because the current one is not used.
1. Snow happens in New England every year. Make a plan for appropriate snow removal and stop bring shame to Connecticut
2. Bicycles are transportation, especially in a city with such widespread poverty. People riding bicycles are already vulnerable. There is no need to exacerbate their risk by essentially forcing people onto a narrow street used by motorists rushing to get onto I-84.
Bike parking needed on Pratt Street AcknowledgedPratt St Hartford, CT - DowntownThere is no bike parking on Pratt Street, even though its our city's most dense street. Let's not add just one bike rack, but a whole stable of racks so that more people will want to bike to the shops and restaurants on Pratt. New Haven just added a bike corral, let's do it too. http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/bike_corral_debuts_downtown/
New speed bumps Archived50-72 Brookfield St Hartford, Connecticut - Behind The RocksIt there something that can be done about most of the cars, school buses, ambulances and tractor tailors completely avoiding our passing the cars on the right who slow down and go over these speed bumps the city has placed. I think it's a great idea if used properly. I understand there is a bike lane but why can't the bikes slow down and go over the bumps also. Thanks for your time.
Speeding ArchivedValley View Lane Vernon Rockville, CT 06066, USA - VernonThis street is a small no outlet street. A wonderful neighborhood to raise children. But please don't go out for walks at dinner time or later. Lots of people speed around the circle. My family and I have almost been hit 3 different times! Once my Husband stopped the man that came only inches from hitting us. This person had been drinking!! In all honesty, if we hadn't moved quickly, us or one of our 3 children would have been hit. The speed limit is 25. Very quiet neighborhood but lots of speeding cars!! Peterson Rd. which Valley View is off of is also an issue with speeding. It's a long road with only a stop sign at the very end. There are sidewalks on Peterson however. Thank goodness. I worry about all the kids walking to & from school. I've reported this speeding to the police station to no avail. I want to feel safe while walking or riding bikes with me children!
Hawthorn Street Hartford, Connecticut - Asylum Hill
Several non-standard grates with long slots in the direction of traffic flow were installed into replacement storm drains.
Just waiting for an unsuspecting cyclist to get a front wheel caught and break their neck. There are standards in place for a reason. Whoever the contractor is, doesn't know what they are doing if they don't know the standards.
Continously being "repaired" AcknowledgedSam Street Enfield, Connecticut - polytestThere are many pot holes in this neighborhood. We have them repaired and within a week they are falling apart again. There are huge rocks all over which get kicked up by cars. My children are not safe if they ride bikes or walk. I have many images.
DPW Street Line Painting Archived106-122 Wethersfield Avenue Hartford, Connecticut - Sheldon Charter Oak
Wethersfield Ave is currently under heavy construction for the storm drain and sewer separation. I've noticed that the striping of Wethersfield Ave further south did not update the lane arrangement to improve "Complete Streets" safety for cyclists and pedestrian road users.
Are bike lanes being considered for Wethersfield Ave? Can the travel lanes, parking lane, and turn lane be narrowed? Parking lanes can be be narrowed to 7 ft, and the travel lanes to 10 ft. The center turn lane could also be narrowed to 10 feet.
Simple changes to lane width would make a significant reduction in speeding, reduce crossing distance for pedestrians, and improve the neighborhood character of the street. If the lane width reduction were implemented there would be an opportunity to implement 3-4 foot wide bike lanes. Since the bike lanes are not a minimum of 5 ft wide, they would be unofficial marked buffer lanes beside the parking lane. Alternatively, Wethersfield Avenue could incorporate "sharrows" and "Share the Road signage.
It is a popular street for commuting bicyclists, and continuing Hartford's car centric road design patterns is dangerous and doesn't promote a sustainable city. Thanks for your attention to this important issue.

We consider a pricing and short-term capacity allocation problem in the presence of buyers with orders for bundles of products. The supplier's objective is to maximize her net profit, computed as the difference between the revenue generated through sales of products and the production and inventory holding costs. The objective of each buyer is similarly profit maximization, where a buyer's profit is computed as the difference between the time-dependent utility of the product bundle he plans to buy, expressed in monetary terms, and the price of the bundle. We assume that bundles' utilities are buyers' private information and address the problem of allocating the facility's output. We directly consider the products that constitute the supplier's output as market goods. We study the case where the supplier follows an anonymous and linear pricing strategy, with extensions that include quantity discounts and time-dependent product and delivery prices. In this setting, the winner determination problem integrates the capacity allocation and scheduling decisions. We propose an iterative auction mechanism with non-decreasing prices to solve this complex problem, and present a computational analysis to investigate the efficiency of the proposed method under supplier's different pricing strategies. Our analysis shows that the problem with private information can be effectively solved with the proposed auction mechanism. Furthermore, the results indicate that the auction mechanism achieves more than 80% of the system's profit, and the supplier receives a higher percentage of profit especially when the ratio of demand to available capacity is high.

Today, I got mugged. Trying to be brave, I attacked my mugger, who then broke my nose. Suddenly, I was saved by someone: A 15 year-old goth girl who promptly tackled the mugger to the ground. I'm a 21 year old man. FML

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- One can only hope that NASCAR has some special surprise planned for next week's media tour in Charlotte, N.C., beyond announcing it has simplified the points system.
The proposed points system NASCAR officials acknowledged on Friday at Daytona International Speedway raises the excitement meter like watching this test session in the rain. The new format likely would award 43 points for first and one point fewer for every ensuing position down to one point for last place. The top 10 in points would make the Chase, along with two others with the most wins who are not in the top 10 .
It promotes consistency over winning more than ever and opens the door for drivers and teams playing it safe more than ever. But it doesn't fix what ails the sport.
Sure, it might be simpler to understand, which NASCAR president Mike Helton says has been a goal for several years. But were fans and drivers really confused by the old system? Did it really need fixing, as we'll be told when chairman Brian France likely announces the new plan Wednesday?
OK, some drivers apparently were confused. Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin like that they won't need a calculator to figure out how many spots ahead of Jimmie Johnson they need to finish to win the title.
Of course, they have well-paid engineers who do that for them, so there's really no reason to be confused.
Judging by fan complaints on e-mail and Twitter, a new points system was way down the wish list, way behind shorter races, a shorter schedule, more variety of tracks in the Chase, a car that looks more like the street model and keeping Sprint Cup drivers from dominating the Nationwide Series.
The latter officially has happened, with Helton saying on Friday that drivers must choose in which series they intend to compete for a championship.
I actually can't remember the last time somebody complained that the points system was too complicated. You all confirmed that in an informal survey on Twitter in which most of you agreed that was near the bottom of the priority list or not on your list at all.
NASCAR will tell you it was a primary concern, but, as Johnson reminded us, it won't put fannies in seats and improve television ratings.
"I don't think it's a huge strategy to engage the fans more from an attendance standpoint or a viewer standpoint," the five-time defending Cup champion said. "I mean, you always hope for that. In my opinion, there are other areas to focus on for that."
Jeff Burton agreed as we waited out the Friday morning rain delay behind his hauler.
"The points system is not the problem in our sport," he said. "Changing the points system is not going to put more fans in the stands."
But the new points system could create problems. It could mean a driver in 22nd place with two wins makes the Chase over a driver in 11th place with one win. Burton admits that would tick him off. I suspect it would irk a few others, too.
It could mean drivers becoming more content with taking a top-5 or even a top-10 position rather than gambling with a move that could be the difference between winning and finishing 43rd.
That's because the difference between winning and finishing last would go from about 20 percent to 2 percent. In other words, the winner under the current system outscores the last-place finisher 185-34, but, under the proposed format, the winner would outscore last place 43-1, bonus points for wins not included.
"You're opening the door for races that aren't as exciting," Burton said.
You'll also, as Clint Bowyer noted when he interrupted my discussion with Burton, widen the gap between the haves and the have-nots because blown engines, wrecks and poor finishes that typically happen more to the have-nots put them in a deeper hole.
"You separate the field more," Bowyer said. "It'll make them look worse."
I'm not against simplifying. I just don't think this was a problem, and I don't think the solution addresses making wins more important, as France keeps suggesting.
Helton argues differently. He says that the model is adjustable to make wins more significant based on bonus points for wins, laps led, etc., and that the first goal simply was to make the system simpler. From what we hear, NASCAR is considering anywhere from one to three bonus points for a win.
"We can continue enhancing the attention to and the appetite to win with bonus points and how we apply those to a basic simple structure to start with," Helton said. "You can also do things with the events themselves, the field that goes into the Chase to encourage and put a high appetite on winning races.
"The points models start off with a simple system, but we can accomplish the attention to winning with bonuses and other places."
Let's hope so.
But under most of those models -- and, according to NASCAR, the model most likely to be used -- Johnson still wins the title.
Kevin Harvick tried to put his thoughts on the matter into perspective by sharing a text message from New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi after last year's season in which he dominated the regular season and finished third despite the best average finish among the 12 playoff drivers.
"Hey, man, great year, good job," Girardi wrote. "I don't understand how you can have the best year and not win. I don't understand your points system."
Said Harvick, "Those are the people that need to understand that aren't here every week the casual fan we need to recapture. However that points system works out, I want it to be easy to understand for those type of people."
He should have reminded Girardi that the baseball team with the best record in the regular season doesn't always win the title. Same as football and basketball.
The current system isn't broken, so why fix it? Why offer more change to fans that they don't necessarily want? NASCAR should have learned when it implemented the Chase and went to the COT all within a couple of years that fans don't necessarily like change.
Some drivers don't, either.
"I guess I'm reluctant to make changes," Burton said. "We're coming off a very exciting year. I really like the idea of keeping points the same but making it so a few more people got in the Chase and then making it where people are essentially eliminated."
That was the idea initially floated. Expand the Chase from 12 to 15 drivers, have a couple of eliminations and possibly reset the points to ensure there's a close battle going into the final three races as there was this season when Johnson, Denny Hamlin and Harvick went into the final race with a shot to win.
Now we're less than a month before the opener and still a few days from officially knowing exactly what will happen. Helton insists that's not a negative, that getting feedback from all the teams is more important than NASCAR making a decision on its own.
If the NASCAR powers that be listened to team ideas I've heard in the garage here, they'd be more inclined to implement a points system that weighed heavier toward the top, as the current system does, and awarded no points for finishes worse than 25th or 35th.
That not only would create less confusion but also would save money for teams that feel the need to put a wrecked car back on the track to pick up a couple of positions.
Getting back on the track will be more of a premium under the proposed system because it's a far greater penalty for finishing further back.
Hopefully, NASCAR has something up its sleeve to surprise us, to address some of the real concerns fans have.
If not, this rain-marred test session will be the highlight of the preseason.

Amazon.com Review
At the age of 12, having borne more suffering in his child's body than any adult should endure, Sydney Henderson vows never to harm another human soul. Turning his back on the violent alcoholism of his upbringing, self-educated Sydney wins the honest respect of the beautiful Elly and the children they bear. Honest respect, however, is rarely a match for fear and base human opportunism. Manipulated, attacked, and abused by a small community eager for a scapegoat, Sydney loses his job, the health of his wife, and, most importantly, the respect of his son Lyle. "There is no worse flaw in man's character," Richards knows, "than that of wanting to belong."
The superb, controlled, and unapologetic Mercy Among the Children is nothing less than an inquiry into human strength. Richards uses the crack of ribs on a frigid night to remind us of the opportunistic populism of much so- called morality. Mercy, which shared Canada's premier fiction award, the Giller Prize, with Michael Ondaatje's Anil's Ghost, combines the hound dog's attention to locale of fellow Maritimer Alistair MacLeod with the quotidian insight of countryman Timothy Findley's The Wars, especially its reminder that the emotions behind war also drive fights over who should scrub the dinner dishes. --Darryl Whetter

Maybe its the continued decline in crude oil or maybe its the signs I have pointed to for a few months now that consumers are beginning to spend more money.
With the market closing up for four straight weeks, there are several storylines investors cant ignore.
There is so much more to the stock market rally than actions taken by central banks. There is no doubt that a part of the low (and especially negative) yields scenario is to get funds to seek returns, which means greater risk in stocks, resulting in higher share prices, which is in turn is supposed to trigger that so-called wealth effect.
It wasnt pretty and it certainly lacked a bang, considering the news backdrop might have been appropriate; the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at a new all-time high for the sixth consecutive session in a row and that hasnt happened since 1998.
Things are fairly quiet as the S&P and Dow trade near record highs. Positive bias remains with the major indexes up slightly.
I came into Wednesday's session looking for action from transportation, and got it when CSX Corporation (CSX) inadvertently released results before the closing bell. Earnings came in at $0.47, down year-over- year; beating Wall Street consensus by $0.03.
The market was poised to move higher but crude inventories declined less than expected, so now stocks are marking time.
The S&P 500 has raced to a new all-time high and other major indices are on the cusp. Many have been caught flat-footed by this move, and others have ridiculed it.
Wednesday saw a nice reversal in the price of stocks and oil as the market reacted to several news items beginning with the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) service numbers (much-better-than-expected) and later the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes.
Bond yields continue to plunge and gold is soaring, reflecting the perfect storm of anxiety and a lot of unanswered questions.
Everyone talks about that Lehman Moment for the stock market, but the fact of the matter is the stock market exhibited amazing resolve or ignorance (pick your poison) throughout, and even after, the Lehman soap opera played out.
The market had meandered all week long, and while it was off the bottom of trading range, it clearly was looking for a catalyst. Instead of waiting for the outcome of the British EU exit vote, investors jumped the gun, especially late in the session.
The housing market, at least on paper, has come all the way back as median prices increased 4.7% in May from April to $239,700.
Oil was lower for the sixth day in a row with growing concerns over Britain leaving the EU. Brent crude, a global benchmark, has fallen 9% in the last 5 session and trading around $47.50.
Last year, the market stalled; the IPO market dried up, and the economy crawled along as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) edged lower with a sense of pessimism hanging in the air.
People are becoming more afraid and the thing about fear is that once unleashed, it can feed on itself. "Fear begets fear" is often seen as a contrarian indicator in sync with the notion that the crowd is always wrong and the emotionally-driven crowd is always extremely wrong.
The headlines were all over the place; depending on whom you believe, the market sold off on Friday regarding concerns over the so-called Brexit, global growth worries, or overbought conditions. I suspect that you could also check the box marked all the above.
Consumers have put the chill on credit card usage in April after a monstrous surge in March. Still, the pace of credit card usage is increasing and swiftly heading back to all-time high levels.
Each year, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) releases its in-depth report on high-net-worth individuals around the world; while its a piece that leaves money managers and others salivating, there are not-so-subtle messages on the economy that go well beyond generating commission checks.
Yesterday, the market finished the day higher even as its clear that Janet Yellen is wedded to the idea of rate hikes this year; maybe even in July or September.

It's your life and it's a Carnival
Anyone who's ever tried getting a family of eight around town knows it can be a circus. Which is why Kia designed the Kia Grand Carnival. Helping meet the hectic demands of modern family life, the Grand Carnival is a truly multi- purpose vehicle.
With its versatile 2+3+3 seating design, the Kia Grand Carnival has the room to move your entourage in style and comfort. What's more, you're surrounded by user-friendly features from every seat.
Packed full of innovative practicality, the Kia Grand Carnival has been ergonomically designed to cater for all kinds of trips with the entire family. Plus you'll find plenty of spare room for their luggage, sports gear, and also the family pet.
In fact, virtually every square centimetre of the Kia Grand Carnival has been designed with a practical purpose in mind – whether it's for storage space or comfort, the Kia Grand Carnival's got it all.
You'll find ample head and leg room even when you carry eight people in the spacious Kia Grand Carnival.
All the space you'll ever need
You're never short of space in the Kia Grand Carnival. Its one-touch double folding seats in the second-row not only create easy access to the third-row of seats, they can also be easily removed to expand the rear cargo space. Plus, the third-row seats fold flat and collapse into the floor, for when you need some extra luggage space.
Versatile seating.
With a quick tug of a strap, you can fold and stow away the third-row seats,
which fold neatly into the floor. Flat folding seats can create more room for transporting cargo and luggage.
Convenient in-floor storage
Third-row seating (Folding and sinking)
The power to keep up with a busy family
At the heart of the Kia Grand Carnival is an incredibly powerful 3.5L V6 CVVT (Continuous Variable Valve Timing) petrol engine with aluminium block design or a fuel-efficient 2.2L CRDi diesel engine. Both powerplants have been designed with the latest technological advancements to ensure you have the right amount of power and torque, even when every seat is occupied. While at the same time, delivering a quiet and eco- friendly ride.
The clever 6-speed Sportsmatic auto transmission features fuzzy-logic intelligence for processing information on driving styles and conditions, and an advanced powertrain control unit for smoother gear shifting.
Safeguard your most precious cargo
Safety has always been Kia's number one consideration in the development of the Kia Grand Carnival. To help protect your passengers and provide peace-of-mind, the Kia Grand Carnival features an abundance of advanced active and passive safety systems, including life- saving ESC (Electronic Stability Control) with TCS (Traction Control System), ABS brakes, six airbags, as well as optional rear parking sensors and rear view camera.
State-of-the-art safety features such as ESC help maintain control under unexpected road conditions, and incorporates TCS and Brake Assist System, which enhances the ABS to give you maximum stopping power without skidding.
The Kia Grand Carnival's rigid steel frame creates a safety cell that absorbs impact energy, with front and side collision protection at every important point to help protect passengers in the event of an impact.
When sensors monitoring steering angle and wheel speed detect a potential skid, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) adjusts power and brake to help keep you on course.
The many safety features in Carnival, from the wheels and chassis to interior airbags, combine to make it an extremely safe place to be, whether you're the driver or passenger.
A second line of protection is offered by six state- of-the-art airbags. Front dual and side airbags help protect the driver and passenger from front and side collisions. While roof-based side-curtain airbags provide protection for the head of the passengers in the first and second rows.
Dual power sliding doors (Kia Grand Carnival SLi & Platinum models) The rear dual power sliding doors are operated with a touch of the remote key or switches in the overhead console, and include a manual override and obstacle detection for complete safety.
Power tailgate (Kia Grand Carnival Platinum model only)
For every shopper's delight, the tailgate is power-operated with the remote key, overhead console switch in the cabin or button on the tailgate trim.
Keyless entry system
The keyless entry system allows you to open or close the doors. A separate button opens or closes the tailgate. (Kia Grand Carnival Platinum key shown)
Second-row power windows
For your convenience, second-row windows –
which are traditionally sealed shut on an MPV – can now be opened in seconds with a flick
of the power up-down switch.
Third-row swivelling windows
Passengers in the third-row enjoy better comfort in the Kia Grand Carnival. Swivelling windows turn outward for improved ventilation and natural cooling capability.
Cluster: The stylish in-dash gauge cluster is much more than a sophisticated piece of design. It is placed in a way that emphasizes simplicity and cleanliness, allowing the driver to quickly scan basic information such as RPM and fuel or the digital trip counter.
Radio + CD player + MP3 audio system: Kia's own audio engineering talent and expertise delivers a sound system that is as luxurious and high performing as the Kia Grand Carnival itself. Both the SLi and Si models feature a single CD player, while the Kia Grand Carnival Platinum model includes a convenient six CD stacker.
Automatic climate control system: The Kia Grand Carnival's fully automatic climate control system comes with air quality control to reduce dust, pollen and pollutants in the cabin. At the touch of a button the interior climate will automatically adjust to your preferred temperature. (Kia Grand Carnival Platinum model only)
Power driver seat: It is vital that the driver achieves the perfect posture for a relaxed trip, and the Kia Grand Carnival includes an electrically powered seat to help you achieve pin-point seating perfection. (Platinum model only)
Conversation mirror: The conversation mirror is a clever and popular innovation that brings driver and passenger together. It allows the driver to see everything that's going on in the back without taking their eyes off the road.
Rear manual climate control: For the comfort of second- row passengers, there's a rear manual climate control for controlling temperature and fan settings. The air vents can be independently adjusted to make every journey as comfortable as possible. (Si, SLi & Platinum model shown)
Driver control panel: The driver's control panel includes power window switches as well as central door locking switch and power window lockout – a safety feature that parents of small children will appreciate. (Si, SLi & Platinum model shown)
Heated side view mirrors: Condensation, ice and even snow can affect driving visibility, but Kia has the answer. The heated side view mirrors will clear the glass to ensure you have 100% visibility. (Si, SLi & Platinum model shown)
You can make phone calls and chat with friends like they were right there with you in the Kia Grand Carnival, with the added convenience of Bluetooth® hands-free connectivity.
Rear storage box: Passengers who travel with earphones, books, maps and other essentials can neatly stow their gear away in the rear storage box. Its containment lid also doubles as a twin drinks holder.
Electrochromic mirror / Reverse camera: The Electrochromic mirror automatically dims any glare from a car's headlights behind. While the rear-view camera cleverly mounted in the rear-view mirror displays any objects behind while reversing. (SLi and Platinum models)
Rear Parking Sensors: Children and low-lying obstacles can be difficult to see when reversing. Sensors within the bumper will alert you to the distance from objects at the rear with an audio warning. (Platinum model only)
You can opt for the 6 spoke 16- inch steel or alloy wheels or the premium 17- inch alloy wheels for the ultimate appeal.
235 / 60R 17″Alloy Wheel (SLi and Platinum models).

Posted on 07/07/2014 9:58:40 PM PDT by free_life
The interpreters who worked for American and NATO forces during the recent Afghanistan war are among our bravest and most loyal allies. They played an essential role educating foreign troops about the local culture they so badly needed to understand, and sourcing intelligence.
As the US withdraws from Afghanistan, the tens of thousands of Afghans who put their own and their families lives at risk, because they believed US promises would be fulfilled, should now be offered safe haven. Instead, a majority of the interpreters are being denied transit to the US, or left in limbo for years on end.
VICE News spoke with several interpreters now living across the world about their experiences since ending their work with the US and NATO, and those broken promises.
In Part 1, VICE News correspondent Ben Anderson speaks with Srosh, an interpreter that he first met in December 2010. They spent five weeks together as US Marines attempted to defeat the insurgency in Sangin the most violent district of Afghanistans most violent province. The Marines that Srosh worked for have since returned home, but he remains in hiding.
The doctor that actually gave us Osama is rotting in a Pakistani prison.
The U.S. does not look after its friends.
As one interpreter said in trailer... "no one believes the US anymore, they are liars!"
Stop being fools.
The media is applauding as hoards of gangsters are being welcome from Mexico by this administration.
We do this after every war.
I forgot to add there is a video at Vice News link and at Youtube.
and here
"As one interpreter said in trailer... no one believes the US anymore, they are liars!"
Anyone paying attention knew this was going to happen, with a Democrat in the White House.
When hasn't it, at least in my lifetime?
They definitely should be offered safe passage.
I personally think this is deliberate to hurt the reputation of the United States. If we abandon them, who can trust us?
and the Filipinos after WW11
BTW, vice.com is increasingly becoming a site to go to because it reports a lot of raw news that the msm will not.
The Obama doctrine: Delete the messages or shoot the messengers.
I personally think this is deliberate to hurt the reputation of the United States.
I think you are probably correct. It is bloody sad.
Obama & the Democrats are liars, not all of the US, there is a difference.
I would like to tell them I agree with them. I don't trust Obama, et al either!
"When hasnt it, at least in my lifetime?"
Why anyone thinks a Democrat is going to defend the US at any time is beyond me. Bunch of arrogant commie clueless fools can't run a *hit house.
Or the Hmong in Southeast Asia.
I personally think this is deliberate to hurt the reputation of the United States. If we abandon them, who can trust us?
I know people in Central and South America who think the USA has gone crazy and are afraid and sad.
The US under Obastard does not look out for its own citizens, let alone its former friends and allies.
An absolute disgrace while we take in tens of thousands of Somali filth who hate us.
Barack Obama's America: harmless as an enemy, treacherous as a friend.
Being allied with America is not a smart move in that part of the world. You ultimately get screwed over. Ask the doctor in Pakistan how helping the Americans get OBL worked out for him. When you no longer serve this country's you're tossed to the wolves.
But we got rights for the illegal parasite tyrants south of the border, all out for a revenge carnival... Obama's children...
"We do this after every war."
The worst was after the Cold War; all of the military strongmen we supported (to suppress communism or Soviet influence in their home countries) were abandoned - and in some cases, prosecuted.
Saddam and Noriega are the first to come to mind.
As a former interpreter (Italian French English) for the federal government (FBI, US Federal Court System, other agencies), I can say this with certainty: At some point, no GOOD interpreter will be willing to work for the US Government. At that point, many who come forward will be suspect. Since there will be great need, some from this pool will be hired, and then enter into "the system".
At that point, the enemy will have infiltrated us, and will take over our interpreter system. That will be the end.
Get to mexico and join the line!

Culture Shock

So Long, Sol Arts
The newsletter-style e-mails from Sol Arts always start with the same headline: "Here's what's next at Sol Arts!" The e-mail I received last week was no different, except what's next at Sol Arts is nothing. While it's sad to see a local, grassroots art space close its doors, the folks at Sol Arts are doing it for a positive reason. The members, including UNM theater professor and Sol Arts founder Kristen Loree, have decided to devote their time and focus into their own artistic creations and put running art space on hold, at least for now.
