NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Stock futures are heading lower as the government releases new data on consumer spending and unemployment. Dow Jones industrial futures are down 13 points to 13,825. The broader S&P futures have given up 2.5 points to 1,492.80. Nasdaq futures are down 9.25 points to 2,726.50. The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits last week jumped 38,000 to a seasonally adjusted 368,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Yet applications have plunged for two weeks and the trajectory still points to more hiring. The Commerce Department is reporting that consumer spending edged up in December and incomes rose by the largest amount in 8 years. With consumer spending accounting for 70 percent of all U.S. economic activity, economists play close attention to their behavior to gauge the health of the economy.

Stage Six - Friday 11 May
Urbino-Porto Sant'Elpidio
207 kilometres, medium mountain stage
Bluffers guide: The phoney war ends with a beautiful rolling stage. Highlight will be the climb to Cingoli, the "Balcony of Le Marche", but this is Central Italy at its very best. The last 100 kilometres will be punch and counterpunch through the thinking man's Tuscany, as the Giro begins in earnest. Scarponi, from nearby Filottrano, will look to deliver to his legions of Marchegiano fans.
Buon appetito: Green-hued and citrusy, Verdicchio is Marche's best-loved (and best exported) white wine. Look out for anything from the provinces of Matelica and Jesi. And, above all else… take your time…
Local hero: Michele Scarponi (Lampre) – Alberto Contador's disqualification last year gave the Marche region its first ever Giro winner in Michele Scarponi. The 'Corsa Rosa" returns this year with stage which, to coin a very Italian phrase, should be "pane per i suoi denti" – "bread for his teeth".
Bergonzi says: "The finale is like a Tirreno-Adriatico stage. It'll be beautiful, in the part of Marche famous for the shoemakers. This will be up and down all afternoon, and just stunning to look at. It's made for attackers, but it's one of those stages that are really difficult to call. Cipollini won here twenty years ago, but it doesn't necessarily follow that another sprinter will win this.

In a move it says is to strengthen its short-term revenue, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs announced it would be temporarily relocating its tribal casino from the resort of Kah-Nee-Ta to Warm Springs, all while continuing to pursue a permanent location in Cascade Locks.
"This would be the third best alternative," Tribal spokesman Loui Pitt said. "(Cascade Locks) is the preferred alternative to meet our many needs."
Louie said the Tribal Council decided to move forward with a temporary location to Warm Springs after it became clear that even if the Cascade Locks site were to gain approval by the Department of the Interior and then by Gov. John Kitzhaber, that it would be at least three years before a casino would be and running in the town.
However, the Warm Springs also stated that in no way did they consider the Warm Springs site a viable permanent solution.
"It's a significant decision for the short term," tribal political advisor Len Bergstein said. "It's very visible, right on the highway … but the tribal council made it very clear they wanted to continue to pursue the Cascade Locks site."
It has been the position of the tribes throughout the casino approval process that only the Cascade Locks site would generate enough revenue to provide a significant boost to the tribe's lifestyle.
In a Bureau of Indian Affairs environmental impact statement, Cascade Locks was listed as the preferred site, with tribal lands in Hood River second and a Warm Springs reservation site third.
"The tribal members overwhelming voted in a referendum for the Gorge," Pitt said.
Pitt said that move was not an indication that tribe was taking any options, including the possibility of using a site in Hood River, off the table going forward.
The tribe said that following the decision of the Department of the Interior to put its application into further review, and the election of Kitzhaber, it was clear to them they needed to take an action to help support the tribe in the short term until a decision was made.
Kitzhaber has stated repeatedly, with a spokesman reiterating this week, that he unequivocally opposes a casino in the Gorge.
"I think this is a smart move on their part; they can double their revenue from Kah-Nee-Ta," said Port of Cascade Locks commissioner Chuck Daughtry. "I believe they are looking at an old mall building near the Warm Springs museum that is 30,000 square feet and they can put in a tent like structure and parking fairly cheaply. One of the criticisms has been that they should just put it on their reservation and now they will be able to test that."
The new location for the casino would place it along Highway 26, a more high traffic site that its current location.
Each tribe in Oregon is allowed only one casino, so the tribe will have to close outside gaming operations at Kah-Nee-Ta with the move. The tribe will also have to renegotiate its gaming compact with the state to move its casino and is hopeful that may lead to dialogue with the governor's office over a long-term solution.
"It's always good to have a fresh set of eyes look over the compact," Bergstein said.
Pitt said that the tribe is hoping for a decision from the Department of the Interior in the late spring, and realizes that its dreams of casino in Cascade Locks may still be a long way from being realized.
"The clear-eyed view of what is going on in D.C made it clear that the tribal council had to take its fate into its own hands," Bergstein added. "It's still at least three years away even if there is a decision."
Daughtry thinks that move is ultimately a good one for the Cascade Locks site.
"They'll get to have government-to-government negotiations," he said. "It's typical of how the Warm Springs do things - they are very non-confrontational."

Survival after 5 years for colon cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Are there survival statistics available for review by the colon cancer patient beyond the "generic 5 year overview"? What are the age guidelines for my three sons to be screened? I had surgery for a B2 T3 tumor with no lymph node involvement after the routine sigmoscope exam given to 50 year old.
Timothy C. Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
In general, it is felt that a 5-year survival equates to a cure for colon cancer. Unlike cancers such as breast or melanoma, in which one can have cancer recurrences as long as 15 years after treatment of the original tumor, this does not seem to happen with colon cancer. I am sure there may be a case or more reported of this occurring, but it would be very unusual. I am unaware of any statistics for this occurrence. You are at risk for the development of a second colon cancer in the colon and that risk may be at least 20%, or higher, over time. That is the rationale for repeat colonoscopies.
As to your children, with no other family history of colon cancer, I would recommend that they begin screening colonoscopies at age 40 and have them every 5 years, as long as nothing is found. If polyps are found, repeat studies every 2 to 3 years until a negative study should be done.

Cards edged by Nationals
VIERA, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Zimmerman won't test his surgically repaired right shoulder defensively in a game until later this month. He got his going Sunday.
Zimmerman went 1 for 3 with a RBI single in his spring training debut as the Nationals defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 7-6.
The third baseman had arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on Oct. 25. An All-Star in 2009, Zimmerman hit .282 with 25 homers and 95 RBIs for the NL East champions last season despite the injured shoulder, which needed cortisone shots in June and September.
He was the designated hitter against the Cardinals rather than playing his usual third base and likely will not play in the field for several more weeks.
"He just needs the at-bats," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "I'm not concerned about him getting on the field at all. We can DH him until about the 18th. … I'd rather take that real slow."
Washington starter Ross Detwiler gave up one run and four hits in two scoreless innings and struck out four in his last appearance before joining the U.S. for the World Baseball Classic.
Chad Tracy hit a two-run homer and a double for Washington, and Zach Walters had a game-ending single off Eduardo Sanchez in the ninth.
Shane Robinson homered for St. Louis, and Pete Kozma had three hits.
Starting pitcher Jamie Garcia threw three innings and gave up two runs on five hits while striking out four.
It was the second start of spring training for Garcia, who said he felt good and reported no problems with his left shoulder, which he rehabbed during the offseason after being sidelined in last year's playoff run due to a strained rotator cuff and inflammation.
"I'm at a point right now, where I'm just going to go out there and compete," Garcia said. "I've got that positive mentality, just like I did when I came to camp."
The Nationals did not make a lot of hard contact against Garcia, though it was hard to tell whether it was because of the left-hander's movement or the wind.
"We'll see next time when there's no wind," Garcia said. "Hopefully, it was a little of both."
Zimmerman struck out in his first at-bat against Garcia, then blooped a single into right field to drive in Jayson Werth in the third inning. Werth, Bryce Harper and Danny Espinosa all had two hits for Washington.
Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos also made his first spring appearance and went 1 for 2 with a ninth-inning double Ramos tore the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee last May 12.
While Zimmerman and Ramos were making their first appearances, Detwiler was making second and last start before the WBC.
"I think I threw more offspeed pitches in two innings today than I did all year last year," Detwiler said.
NOTES: The Nationals reassigned LHP Bill Bray, LHP Will Ohman, RHP Tanner Roark and LHP Brandon Mann to the minor league camp. … Given temperatures in the 40s, the Nationals hit in the batting cages pregame. Johnson said players sent Adam LaRoche's 11-year-old son, Drake, into his office to make the request. … Ramos is scheduled to catch three innings Tuesday. … RHP Henry Rodriguez is scheduled to throw batting practice Tuesday and make his spring training debut Friday against St. Louis … RHP Rafael Soriano is set to make his exhibition debut Tuesday … The Cardinals said SS Rafael Furcal has been told to stop baseball activity after a major setback in his rehabilitation from a torn ligament in his right elbow. "He's just not feeling good, kind of went in a bad direction," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We don't know the severity of it, but it wasn't good news." There will be additional medical tests. … With Furcal out indefinitely, Kozma and Ronny Cedeno are the likely candidates to take over at shortstop unless there is a trade. … C.J. McElroy had two hits and drove in two runs for St. Louis … Robinson has seven RBIs.


text: Technology marches onward, even when we aren't looking. For the past year, the big talk in mobile tech processors has been about NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core chips, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Krait (dual-core and future quad-core). Of course, these aren't the only chip makers in the mobile world, and the new Exynos 5 Dual (5250) from Samsung will aim to prove that when it launches later this year. The first most intriguing thing about this chip is that it is the world's first Cortex A15-based SoC. It is based upon a 32nm process and if the hype can be believed, it will blow away everything we have been talking about up to now (even the quad-core processors). Here's a quick run-down of advancements for this new chip: Dual-core 1.7 Ghz Cortex A15 CPU Mali T604 GPU OpenGL ES 3.0 OpenCL 1.1 full profile Support for WXQGA displays Wi-Fi display support 12.8 GB/s memory bandwidth with 2 port 800 Mhz LPDDR3 RAM support 1080p 60 FPS video performance and VP8 codec decoder USB 3.0 support Despite the fact that this chip is only a dual-core, supposedly its other advancements more than make up for the differences. It is designed to compete directly with Qualcomm's S4 Krait processors. The only place it might falter would be in multi-threaded apps that are geared for the new quad-core Krait from Qualcomm which isn't out yet. One of the main advancements that will help propel this chip to greatness is that its included Mali T604 is the very first GPU based on the newer Midgard architecture. It includes unified shaders, OpenGL ES 3.0 and OpenCL 1.1. In fact, this new GPU configuration is likely to be faster and more capable than our current generation gaming consoles, like the PS3 and the Xbox 360. Additionally, as you can see in the spec breakdown above, the new chip has dramatically improved memory bandwidth. This was necessary to power the future generation of WQXGA (2560×1600) tablets. It's interesting to note that it even supports USB 3.0, which will be much appreciated. Regardless of whether it beats the competition by as much as the PR guys are saying, it will be exciting to see just how capable it is toward the end of this year.

Interstellar medium, region between the stars that contains vast, diffuse clouds of gases and minute solid particles. Such tenuous matter in the interstellar medium of the Milky Way system, in which the Earth is located, accounts for about 5 percent of the Galaxy's total mass.
The stars in the Galaxy, especially along the Milky Way, reveal the presence of a general, all-pervasive interstellar medium by the way in which they gradually fade with distance. This occurs primarily because of interstellar dust, which obscures and reddens starlight. On the…
The interstellar medium is filled primarily with hydrogen gas. A relatively significant amount of helium has also been detected, along with smaller percentages of such substances as calcium, sodium, water, ammonia, and formaldehyde. Sizable quantities of dust particles of uncertain composition are present as well. In addition, primary cosmic rays travel through interstellar space, and magnetic fields thread their way across much of the region.
In most cases, interstellar matter occurs in cloudlike concentrations, which sometimes condense enough to form stars. These stars, in turn, continually lose mass, in some instances through small eruptions and in others in catastrophic explosions known as supernovae. The mass is thus fed back to the interstellar medium, where it mixes with matter that has not yet formed stars. This circulation of interstellar matter through stars determines to a large degree the amount of heavier elements in the cosmic clouds. Interstellar matter in the Milky Way Galaxy is found primarily in the system's outer parts (i.e., the so-called spiral arms), which also contain a large number of young stars and nebulae. This matter is closely concentrated in a plane, a flat region commonly known as the galactic disk.
The interstellar medium is studied by several methods. Until the mid-20th century, virtually all information was obtained by analyzing the effects of interstellar matter on the light from distant stars with the aid of optical telescopes. Since the early 1950s, much research has been conducted with radio telescopes, which enable astronomers to study and interpret radio waves emitted by various constituents of the interstellar medium. For example, neutral (i.e., non-ionized) hydrogen atoms absorb or emit very small amounts of radio energy of a particular wavelength—namely, 21 cm. By being measured at this point and compared with nearby wavelengths, absorbing or radiating hydrogen clouds can be detected.
Optical and radio emissions have provided much of the information on the interstellar medium. In recent years, the use of infrared telescopes on orbiting satellite observatories has also contributed to knowledge of its properties, particularly the relative abundances of the constituent elements.

Chicago's GOOSE ISLAND BREWING made a series of complex Belgian ales in simple packages this past year or two, and dubbed them all with fancy European names like JULIET, MATILDA, PERE JACQUES and this one we'll be discussing today, SOFIE. This beer looks and tastes like a tripel, and bursts out of the bottle in a total explosion of foam, as you shall observe here. I got tired of waiting for it to calm down, so I snapped my picture, sat down for dinner, then came back to collect the beer five minutes later.
GOOSE ISLAND SOFIE actually isn't a tripel, though. It's an oak-aged saison with a lot of the characteristics of the tripel. There's a pronounced taste of orange peel, along with lemon. SOFIE clocks in at a relatively approachable 6.5% ABV. It's a zesty, yeasty sort of ale, with slightly more bitterness than I was counting on. Aged in oak, as I said, and that woody, earthy taste is present as well. Wow – "woody", "earthy", "bitter", "zesty", "yeasty" – I think we just blew all our Belgian adjectives on one single beer. It's a complex craft beer for sure, but fell a little wide of the mark for me, as did PERE JACQUES and MATILDA (JULIET has yet to make herself known to me). 6/10.

I have been coming to Rockville Exxon for over 10 years. I can personally attest the customer service is prompt, courteous, and highly efficient. If you have questions or issues, you will find thmanagement will always provide solutions that makes sense. And you can count on everyone to make sure you find the least cost solution to your problem.
Came in to balance front tires. No wait and excellent job
Thank you so much - my flat tire provided quite the challenge to fix! The elusive hole in the tire, meant that these guys had to persist and test the tire many different ways. But their tenacity paid off and I am happy. Great friendly service.
I went in with a tire issue. They took care of the problem in a quick and friendly manner.
Mechanic went above and beyond for a no charge job. He took his time to drive with me over to a paint specialist to further examine my options, first thing in the morning! That care and thoughtfulness from a contractor is rarely matched.
Great service. Super fast. Really love how they send reports via text as they work
While three other stations stated they could not do the Maryland State Inspection due to weather, this station did what others said they could not do. The service was good and the customer service representative was very friendly and had the car back at the time he said it would be ready.
Trusted and reliable - what more could you ask for in a mechanic?! Excellent customer service, explanation of work to be performed, reasonable costs, timely work, convenient hours (for pick up and drop off) and communication. I cannot recommend more highly. GO HERE and put your mind at ease.
My brother recommended Rockville Exxon for my car problems. I found the staff to be friendly and the location to be convenient. I will recommend them to my friends and family.
The customer service here is phenomenal. They are very friendly and professional. I'll be coming back for sure.
I come here quite often after work and the staff here is excellent! The service is great and they are definitely in the business of helping people. You will not leave here unsatisfied.
They got gas..
Very professional and courteous staff. Job was finished 30 min before the estimated time and everything was done well and thoroughly explained. Trustworthy and convenient location.
No muss, no fuss. Always do an excellent job and got me right in to fix the problem. Thank you for your excellent service. Dan
I had a fantastic experience getting a flat tire fixed at this station today. I had discovered one tire was half-flat and urgently needed fixing. I asked if they could fix it while I waited and they immediately went to work. I've been driving for 70+ years and have had many flats fixed but never so promptly, professionally & courteously -- and at a reasonable price.. In & out in less than 10 minutes and on my way.
I highly recommend Rockville Exxon to everyone!! This is the only shop I visit for my car needs. Shoney and his staffs have the best customer service I've seen in any auto repair shop. I've been taking my cars here for over 8 years. They're always ready to work and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!! The new addition of Josh is absolutely a plus. They're the best in town!! Abe :)
Great, friendly and trustworthy car service
The gas station itself is right about what you would expect from a gas station, but the store is kind of a hole in the wall (small, I mean). More than anything, I appreciate good service and the clerk here was REALLY nice and was conscientious. I went in during evening hours and was fussing with something in the car for a while, so he came out to make sure everything was okay! I would continue to patronize this establishment just because of that...
Excellent. Shoney and his team did a great job inspecting my old BMW. They ensured that it was safe and road worthy. The inspection was well documented and included pictures of required work. Highly recommended. Marc
good staff
Great service and very helpful
I arrived driving on an underinflated tire that another repair place had mistakenly told me was OK to drive on. I had never been to Rockville Exxon before. Mr. Shoney inspected the tire, reviewed different options with me as to cost and how long the repair would take, and indicated he would contact me to let me know what he recommended. It turned out that the least expensive, quickest option -- reshaping the bent rim -- worked. I am very grateful for Rockville Exxon's professionalism. I strongly recommend them.
Simply the best around. Love this place.
It was easy to book a same-day appointment over the phone. I also was able to get dropped off and then picked up again from my house.
I have taken my 2 vehicles here for all service checkups and maintenance for the past 3 years. Rockville Exxon has the 3 things you look for in a service station- Good Service, Good pricing and Honesty.
I came in to get state inspection done on my car. The service rep was clear that it will take 2 hours when I booked the appointment so I came prepared to wait for my car. They offer free wifi and coffee while you wait. I was able to get work done without any connectivity issues while I waited for my car and was out of there is less than two minutes. It's a gas station but the level of service felt like I was at a dealership.
I went to this Exxon for a Maryland State Inspection. The price was fair. The staff was courteous. The minor work needed to pass inspection was performed very quickly. Their time estimates for completion of work was also very good.
Courteous service and a good advice about my options for parts.
I had a wonderful experience at the Rockville Exxon...I am so glad that I brought my car here...they fixed it beautifully. I went by the service recommendations given by the owner and cannot believe how smoothly my car is running now..thank you so much!
Phenomenal!! I had a flat tire and it was 9PM. AAA brought me there and they were way wonderful. I have never written a review like this - but they were so incredible I was moved to write! They even found me a tire that was gently used (I have a '99 honda and really did not want to spend much) - and it was much less than I could have imagined! Thanks to all of you!
My Volvo got a flat tire and this place is incredible . They made the whole repair fast . They were a great team. Owner was supper!!! Mechanics were courteous and promptly to help in my needs. Highly recommend this place ..... and the Price incredible low!!! seriously a must place to go Mi Volvo se estropeo una llanta y el equipo lo resolvio rapido . Y el precio muy barato. El dueno muy cortes la experiencia muy satisfecha , !!!! Si hubieran 6 estrellas se las daria. Es gente en la que se uede confiar.
Came in for an oil change & tire rotation- great and friendly service. I highly recommend. Will continue to bring my car here.
Great customer service! And fair prices as well
We did shop around before bringing our car here and have found Shonny and his team can be trusted to give us the right diagnosis and excellent service . The station keeps in touch with us while our car is in service. If I call them, they answer, and if I ask them to call me, they do. We can pick up our repaired car late in the evening if necessary. We call them first when our car is acting unusual or needs service. Glad they are so conveniently located!
Great service - brought in my car for oil change and tire rotation without an appointment and got it back early the same afternoon. The free shuttle is nice - they'll drive you anywhere within a certain distance when you drop off your car
We've been going here for several years now and we've had nothing but good experiences. The staff is friendly and they do great work. As a non-mechanic, it is always challenging to find a shop that will be honest and won't try to rip me off with unnecessary repairs. This shop provides quality, honest service and is a great example of a shop that provides reliable repairs. Highly recommended!
Great service, very friendly. Highly recommended!
Came here today for an oil change and was greeted warmly. I made my appointment through their website which was super easy. I got a synthetic oil change which ran me about $70 (they even told me to get the less expensive synthetic because it worked better!). I used my check in offer to rotate my tires and sat comfortably while they did their THANG. At the end, they made some recommendations about what I needed to get fixed but never pressured me into getting it done there. I WILL be back (it is across from my house!) and highly sing their praises! KUDOS
I had a great experience with this Exxon location a few days ago. When driving home on the beltway during rush hour, my car decided to malfunction, suddenly dropping in speed and turning on the oil light on my dashboard. After pulling to the shoulder and re-starting it, I was able to drive slowly and exit on Rockville Pike, where I searched for the nearest gas station. When I entered the store, I grabbed a bottle of motor oil and Jasbir Mongia spotted me looking frazzled. He inquired about my car and offered to come outside and look under the hood for me. After checking several of the fluid levels, he recommended that I top off the oil and just drive slowly home. Since the repairmen had left for the day, he recommended I bring it to an auto shop near my home the next day. I was just so pleased with the attention and care he paid to my situation, and all for the cost of a quart of oil. I will certainly make sure to frequent this station in the future.
I was due for my first oil change in a brand new car, and I'd already walked out of one local station because of its unprofessional service and unexplained wait times. I called ahead to check on wait times for an oil change, and the person who picked up the phone spoke clearly and courteously; by the time I arrived there was no wait. Since I'd parked close to the curb (and have low-profile tires), I asked to pull the car into the service bay myself, which they accommodated. Though the waiting area is small, it is air-conditioned and the owner offered me a chair to sit while I waited. This was the first time I had my oil changed in a brand new car, and I was pleased to have such a professional experience. I would certainly return for other basic maintenance services.
I came here for my maryland state vehicle inspection and this place was great! The owner was very nice as well was his staff. Took under an hour and his pricing was cheaper than anywhere else I found!
Fair pricing and great service.
A job well done
The mechanic Matt actually got a 50 year old car running perfectly!
Automobile Air Conditioner Repair--2 cars
I own two older cars no longer in production. The service technician at Rockville Exxon quickly located an air conditioner compressor for my oldest vehicle. He expertly repaired my car's air conditioning system during the Labor Day holiday. My wife and I were very pleased with with our service technician's prompt, courteous, and professional manner. He not only explained the nature of the problem, he opened up the hood, and pointed out the problem areas using state-of-the-art diagnostic tests. We were extremely impressed with his extensive knowledge regarding our car and his willingness to show us exactly where the problems areas were located. Most technicians do not take the time or go through the trouble to explain the nature of your car's engine failure! Once the first car was repaired, we brought in our second car and we had the same pleasant experience. The cost of the first repair was very expensive due to the air conditioner compressor part kit that had to be specially-ordered. However, the management reduced the final cost estimate and gave us a senior discount which helped a lot! We highly recommend Rockville Exxon to anyone seeking an honest, truthful, and excellent service station. We have been coming here for over 10 years and not once during those years were we ever disappointed with the service or the management.
Great service
I brought my car in to have one of my tires patched. The service was fast, high quality and very professional.
Amazing, Honest and Professional
I left my Van overnight and was called several times promptly to coordinate and communicate issues. Shoney was awesome. These guys did exactly what they said and charged exactly what they told me and only after I authorized the work. What else could you ever ask for in an auto repair shop!
Excellent service, very professional
I chose Rockville Exxon for a Maryland State Inspection after using them for previous work. They were extremely helpful, and I would use them again for service.
Great, Quick Service
The gentleman that helped me with a tire repair was extremely courteous and professional. I didn't have an appointment but he had me in and out the door in about 20 minutes. I would come back again.
A pleasant surprise!
Very helpful, honest and knowledgeable! I was very pleased.
Very professional
My overall service apt was great. Scheduled quickly. They called and explained everything needed but no pressure to have all the work done just letting me know. It was ready the same day no issues. Very nice and professional crew. Thank you!!
Friendly and professional.
Needed to replace a headlight. They did right away and I was in and out in a matter of minutes!
Efficient professional quality service!
I've been a client of Rockville Exxon for years. I can always count on getting reliable quality work on my car here. The turnaround time from drop off to pick up after repairs was within hours!!
Excellent Service, On Time and Clean!
Needed to get my son's car inspected quickly and found everyone at Rockville Exxon to be very helpful. They also suggested i get my title and registration done just up Rockville Pike at Car & Title which was the best suggestion EVER!
State Car Inspection
While three other stations stated they could not do the Maryland State Inspection due to weather, this station did what others said they could not do. The service was good and the customer service representative was very friendly and had the car back at the time he said it would be ready.
Efficient, high quality service, fair price
Honest and helpful. Handled a number of repairs in addition to servicing my car, all for a fair price. Also provided shuttle service so I could leave my car for the day.
High quality service, honesty, nice people working there
I'm coming back for all my car needs , very honest, they're not going to sell you something you don't need
Excellent services and honest
High quality, helpful service. Excellent experience.
This was an outstanding experience. I had not used this station in a number of years and was pleasantly surprised.
Very satisfied
Great experience
Very nice people and very helpful. I have been going to this place for couple of years now. And I recommend all my friends and family members here. Once I went there and they told me to take it to the dealer because it might be a recall. They could have just said they could have fixed that but they didn't and I got a free work done on my car since it was a recall.
Great work!!
Great service and very fair price! Got a brake fluid flush for my 2011 Toyota Corrolla. Professional and polite.
Greeted in a polite and professional manner. Sat down with a cup of coffee before I could finish my tire was repaired and finished. So they were expedient with the service. I was very satisfied with the service. Thank you.
Highly Efficient, Polite, Proffetionals
I was Impressed with the Owner's attention and the Personel's professional work. Polite Environment with Friendly People! and Sensible charge$! I was Pleasantly surprised and I intend to Use this Service Station for all my business.
Wonderful and Timely Service!
I visited the Exxon today due to low air in my tire. I was told that the tire could be plugged and that I did not have to purchase a new tire. The service was professional, timely, and just what I needed to hear on my way back to work. I can avoid breaking down or running low on air during rush hour now which I wanted to avoid.
Needed an MD inspection done the same day without an appointment, dropped the car off first thing and picked it up COB. Good Service.
Josh has WOW'd me to another level.
I took my old Toyota in for a check engine light. Josh offered to drive me to work while he worked on the car for the day. He kept in touch throughout the day with his progress. Josh has such passion for his work. The whole shop makes you feel like family. In the end I felt I knew more about how my car works. My car put Josh's integrity to the test. He passed with flying colors. I highly recommend him. He's all around honest and forthcoming. I appreciate this as a consumer. Thanks Josh A+
Great Service. Fast. Professional and friendly staff.
I needed to have a front tire patched in a hurry and they were completely understanding and accommodating. They fit me in at the last minute and had the tire fixed in no time and I was on my way.
Really Helpful and friendly staff
Great service
The service that Shone and his team provide was amazing. I had to travel very fast and they were very honest and up front with the service. I am very satisfy and will never forget this experience. Super stars in my book.
Quick tire repair; fair price
Had a slow leak in a tire, made appointment, dropped car off, and repair was made within the hour for about $20. Seems like a bargain to me.
High quality, fast, and helpful
Rockville Exxon was fabulous. I needed work done after being rear-ended and (in the same week!) putting a dent in the front of my car in a parking lot. They figured out how to fit the repairs into my schedule, drove me to the rental car place, and got all the work done within one day. They worked with the insurance company and got me a fabulous deal. My car looks like new and the experience was pain free. Thank you!
Great service
I brought my car in due to a low tire (leak). It was quickly repaired and for a much more lower fee than what the dealership wanted to charge me.
My experience was excellent. The staff was very professional, friendly, and polite. My job was done in very short time. Thanks.
Good service!
The service provided was good and as promised. I got a state inspection here. They did a good job.
Fast and Professional Service
Came in with a flat tire, the mechanic took care of the screw in my tire, plugged hole, checked air pressure in my other tires and he was finished. Exceptional customer service!!!!!!!
high quality service, timely, cost-conscious, honest
I arrived driving on an underinflated tire that another repair place had mistakenly told me was OK to drive on. I had never been to Rockville Exxon before. Mr. Shoney inspected the tire, reviewed different options with me as to cost and how long the repair would take, and indicated he would contact me to let me know what he recommended. It turned out that the least expensive, quickest option -- reshaping the bent rim -- worked. I am very grateful for Rockville Exxon's professionalism. I strongly recommend them.
Expectation met
My expectations were met. I was able to drop my van off for alignment and it was ready 30 minutes prior the time needed. The tech was very courteous and informative about the care of my car. I will most definitely return for car maintenance.
Highly recommended!!
Very polite. Very clean rest room. Very quick. Excellent communication. Reasonably priced. Zero complaints. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
High quality service
Positive experience
Professional Service
I was very pleased with the service. The manager explained what he needed to do to properly diagnose the problem. He purchased parts from the dealer, which should e conduct to high quality results. He accurately estimated the time it,would take to fix the car. I am not familiar with the Rockville area and he suggested restaurants where I could wait until the car could be fixed. Overall extremely pleased with the service
Super professional
Courteous, efficient, good follow up by email and phone.
Fixed Tire
This is the second or third time I have come here for service. Pleased every time with quality and price. I've since moved to DC but I still come here for my car.
Great experience
Stopped in and asked if they could repair a flat tire. They immediately started working on the repair and were done in record time. Spoke with several employees during the process and everyone was very knowledgeable and professional. It was a great experience. I highly recommend this facility for you auto repairs.
Best car service to date
Both my husband and I had the oil changed on our vehicles after moving to town. They did an excellent job with both and have very reasonable rates
car maintenance and repair
We have taken our 2 cars to EXXON for years for regular scheduled maintenance and repairs and are always very happy about Shoney's and his team's help . They are very courteous and professional , keeping us informed, providing estimates and reminders of future service dates and are always available for follow-up questions and advice. We are very satisfied with EXXON, they are our trusted service station. Thank you!
Car Repair at Rockville Exxon
Provided thorough explanation of problem analysis and detailed description and cost of associated repairs. Communicated without delay when there was any change in status of repair work. Professional and trustworthy are the words that come to mind when I think of my experience using their services. Will definitely be a return customer.
Honest and high quality service
Honest and good car mechanics are tough to come by. Shoney P. leads from top and does exactly what is needed, no more and no less, and at the right price and within the right time. He changed an old tire, polished my headlights, flushed out my brake fluid, and changed oil at very good competitive rates. The best part he did not recommend things that were not required and had been recommended by others. This is my second visit and I know i will be bringing my cars back here for service all the time.
the van
courteous and clear in communication
Tire plugged.
Excellent service.
Chevy Cruze Service
Examined cause of problem indicator light. After examination, they called and explained source of problem. In this case they explained that the necessary part could only be provided by dealer, and did not charge me for this work. Very professional and honest service. Will definitely return and recommend others.
fast, efficient, cating
Excellent work!
Very Professional
I went to Rockville Exxon for a vehicle inspection and was given an estimate on how long it would take. I received a call back within 15 minutes of the estimated time. Unfortunately, my car needed some work done in order to pass and Rockville Exxon was able to do it right away at a fair price and I picked my vehicle up the same day. Robbie was excellent in keeping me informed on the progress of the work and was very professional. I'd absolutely go there again.
excellent experience
Everything was fabulous from the ride to my job when I dropped off the car, to the car being ready when they said it would be! Friendly and I believe truly honest!
Professional and friendly
I had the Maryland inspection completed here. The staff was friendly and courteous and offered free tea or coffee while I waited. It took 2 hours to complete the inspection which apparently is routine for the 90 point checklist. The only downside was waiting in the cold reception room for 2 hours. They did a thorough inspection.
Great professional staff and service
The staff was great in providing information and very polite.
Great service from the team. Was offered a ride to work, while my car was serviced.
friendly staff, quick service for great price
This was my first time and I will definitely go back
Excellent Experience
Wonderful service provided. Robby was great! Courteous, Professional. He drove me to and from my home while they were servicing my car. Highly recommend!!!
1st time customer...found myself a great repair center
Was professional, straightforward and honest. Found myself a great service center for my repairs. Keep up the GREAT work.
These guys are true professionals, super friendly
These guys are true professionals, super friendly, excellent technicians and provide curb-service transportation within three mile.
Brought car for oil change and replace of air filter. Person that helped me was courteous and helpful.
High quality service, good professional
That the second time I am using your services I am satisfied with it. Certainly I will rate one star more next time when I much appreciate your and professionalism and friendly services.
Good job!
Great Service. Friendly Atmosphere. I trust them completely. Happy New Year!
Amazing shuttle service!
I was so impressed with the shuttle service provided by the establishment. The driver was courteous and respectful! I will certainly return for all my future car service needs.
honest feedback , quick service!
My dealership was going to sell me a new tire, exxon looked at my tire immediately , removed the screw which didnt puncture the tire and didnt charge me a thing!
Good Appointment System
Liked that I was able to make an appointment online and that they followed through to confirm my appointment by email and phone. Relatively painless inspection process and they were able to immediately take care of the minor deficiencies that caused my car to fail the test initially.
Good service

A grand jury has elected to indict Andrew Joseph Dikken on six counts of first degree murder after convening ast week.
A grand jury has elected to indict Andrew Joseph Dikken on six counts of first degree murder after convening ast week.
Dikken, 28, of Renville, had been charged with two counts of second-degree murder for the September 2 shootings of Kara Monson, 26, of Granite Falls, and Chris Panitzke, 28, of Redwood Falls.
At an October 30 arraignment hearing, Yellow Medicine County prosecuting attorneys announced that they would not accept Dikken's petition to plead guilty on two counts of second degree murder and that they would convene a grand jury.
Dikken has been charged with three counts of murder for each victim. Murder in the first degree - pre-meditated, first degree murder while committing burglarly and first degree murder while committing or attempting arson.
If convicted on either of the two counts of pre-meditated murder, the minimum sentence Dikken would receive is life without possibility of parole. The counts involving burglary and arson would allow Dikken to eventually be eligible to be considered for release.
According to a complaint report, Panitzke told police officers that Dikken gained entry to the Monson household, turned on a light and opened fire on the pair as they lay sleeping. Monson died at the scene while Panitzke passed several days later on September 8. It was also discovered that gas lines at the house had been cut.
According to YMC Assistant County Attorney Stacy Vinberg, presiding District Judge Thomas Van Hon has waived all timelines and continued a bail amount of $3 million.
At this point no court dates have beemn set. Vinberg said it would likely be a few months before the next court date is held.

ADS in 3D: Speed Your Design with Integrated 3D EM Simulation
Webcast - recorded | Where & When
Why this presentation is important:
Are you using ADS and need full 3D EM simulation capability to analyze packaging, connectors, shielding, passive components and other 3D structures? Are you already using a standalone 3D EM simulator, but spending too much time exporting data and manually updating your designs in multiple environments? This webcast will demonstrate a full 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) simulator that is fully integrated with ADS. 3D EM simulations are run directly within ADS layout, and results are visualized in a new 3D viewer. Also, a new companion product, EMPro, will be demonstrated, showing how arbitrary 3D geometries can be created or imported from other tools, and then placed directly onto an ADS layout for full 3D EM simulation.
Who should attend:
ADS users, RF & microwave designers, Signal Integrity engineers, RFIC/MMIC designers, RF SiP / module designers

I read your article on Internet security ("How secure is online buying?" April issue, page 8).
Equally disturbing is the fact that farmers are buying on the Internet at all. How will this affect the co-ops, seed corn salesmen and other local farm suppliers that have served us over the years and are now being displaced by Internet sales? Ruth Crates Kenton, OH

Does anyone have some caps from the Alma Matters video? I found the one I'm using for my avatar on google search, but I don't know of any others.
If one of you have some screen caps of the video it would be great if you could share. Thanks.

Ivanka Trump a trooper on way to Aspen
Ivanka Trump was the star of last weekend's Food & Wine Classic in Aspen — but getting there was the hard part.
She was a day late, but not a dollar short.
Trump was flying commercial to Aspen when storms forced her plane down in Salt Lake City for the night, the New York Post reports.
The famously unprissy heiress spent the night at the Quality Inn in SLC and ate at Little Caesars, using her $18 dinner voucher from the airline.

It's your funeral
For some reason I decided to draft a funeral playlist today. I suppose I have this nagging fear that I'll snuff it in a freak accident, and my mum will pick Annie Lennox or something. Anyway here's what I got so far:
Corale - Einaudi Ludovico
Into My Arms - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Do You Realize?? - The Flaming Lips
Scattered Black and Whites - Elbow
Deuteronomy 2:10 - The Mountain Goats
+ maybe some Joanna Newsom or Cat Power to balance out the beardiness. I realise there's something of a fashion in recent times to be all like I'M PLAYING SPICE GIRLS / THE MUPPETS THEME TUNE BECAUSE I'M WACKY / IT'S A CELEBRATION OF LIFE / IT'LL BE A PARTY JUST LIKE MY LIFE WAS etc, but I actually want everyone to be miserable as fuck because I'll be DEAD and it'll be terrible.
Also Elbow is probably cliche now but I don't care.
- thekidswhopoptoday this'd this
You can't really care about these things, but...
i guess it would be kind of funny to insist you're carried in and sent off to the stupidest possible songs whilst everyone wears fancy dress or something, just as a last laugh at your pals and that.
I'll go or Ivor Cutler's 'Bicarbonate of Chicken' for my entrance, Beanie Man's 'Zim Zimmer' for my outro. Everyone has to wear smart standard funeral attire, but a pair of bermuda shorts and some sort of fake moustace.Jordan_229_2 and Oissin_ this'd this
Pyramid Song - Radiohead
Ballad of Distances, Part 1 - Stars of the Lid
Foreground - Grizzly Bear
Motion Picture Soundtrack - Christopher O'Riley
Amo Bishop Roden - Boards of Canada
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths
I remember thinking about it before,
And deciding on either E-Bow The Letter by REM, or Wondering by Van Der Graaf Generator. Not really sure now.
see you there!
well, not. but y'know what i mean
I really want
Come on Up to the House by Tom waits at my funeral. (You can have it too if you want / die first)
Stone Roses - I am the Resurrection
followed by either The Jam - Going Underground or The Trammps - Disco Inferno (12 inch version) depending on whether I'm buried or cremated.
I like the idea of making
everyone sit through Sufjan's Impossible Soul.automatik and ThisTemporaryLife this'd this
I've often considered the wilfully contrarian approach...
... that's a great one.
But if I took a straighter approach: Bill Fay's cover of Jesus Etc is pretty sensational
probably just Remember Me As A Time Of Day
and maybe Design For Life
I love Design For Life and a bit of me wanted some Manics because there were such a massive part of my life as a teenager / younger man
But their lyrics tend to be a bit specific. Oddly enough if I had to pick one it'd probably be Solitude Sometimes Is.
- sunstroke_house this'd this
i fought the law - bobby fuller
molly nilsson - hotel home
dubliners - fields of athenry
cat power - the greatest
bobby fuller - i fought the law.
into my arms
they played that at my cousins funeral.
At my (fourteen year old) step-brother's they played On Top Of The World by the Carpenters at the end.
It was really, really weird, and almost funny. Also weird because he picked the whole playlist.
man that's horrible that he went so young.its not much but at least he got to choose his songs for the day.pichaelmarker, PickledOeuf, and Starmixer this'd this
Eels - Hey Man Now You're Really Living.
I actually mean this.
The Cure - Pictures of You (LP version)
Sigur Rós - Andvari
My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes
Elliott Smith - Angeles
In that order.
The Go! Team - Ladyflash
Ariel Pink - Politely Declined
my two favourite songs
I always wondered if that was where your username came from!
great great song. Early Ariel Pink is amazing.politelydeclined this'd this
Ramones - Pet Semetary
Genuinely. I sometimes feel guilty and think I should pick something more serious, but then I think 'fuck it'.
For what it's worth I'm being donated for medical students to use me as a cadavre, so it'll be on the university to bury me anyway. This particularly appeals to me because it must be shit for them to bury folk they don't even know and I'd like to think my song would lighten the mood somewhat.
I've always thought No Surprises would be a good one
I want everyone to be as miserable as fuck at my funeral.
My brother wants This Must Be The Place by Talking Heads, which I think lyrically would be a lovely sentiment.
I fall into the miserable as fuck camp too
and would definitely have This Must Be The Place also
Irma Thomas - Anyone Who Knows What Love Is
Spiritualized - Broken Heart
Joanna Newsom - Does Not Suffice
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
Walkabout by Atlas Sound
What did you want to be? What did you want to see when you grew up?
Also if any Irish/Australians remember Jill Meagher
Well they played Under Pressure by Queen at her funeral.
Now I'm not huge on Queen, but that's got the right funeral atmosphere. It's not Pyramid Song but it isn't Heart in Your Heartbreak, either.
I wouldn't pick this but on topic:
Luke Haines - What Happens When We Die
One of the best songs one of the most underrated songwriters of the last 20 years ever wrote. Not even on YouTube. You're welcome.
Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten by Arvo Part
And Ceremony by New Order
Leave Them All Behind by Ride
Not just for the title - that monstrous feedback drone outro will be perfect
Nick Drake - From the Morning
Radiohead - Pyramid Song
And then maybe The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night for lolz
- DaddyorChips this'd this
- shucks this'd this
Smog - Dress sexy at my funeral
Nick Cave 'Lay me low'
or Suede 'Still life'DaddyorChips this'd this
always find it a bit weird in these songs you'd have at your funeral threads
when people pick proper tugging at your heart strings miseryfest playlists. Like 'Well, my mum will be there, so I'd have Lennon's I don't want to be a soldier. Mum will really break down when he sings the 'I don't wanna die' bit'
Probably best to go with some upbeat stuff....having said all that. Haddaway - life
Arvo Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel
Scott Walker - Angels of Ashes
Mine would be
Modest Mouse - Gravity Rides Everything
(When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And on split milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place)
Ash - Girl from Mars (just because it's my favourite song)
Bright Eyes - Easy, Lucky, Free
(Don't you weep
There is no one as lucky
Honey, don't you weep
Don't you weep
There is nothing as lucky
As easy
Or free)
Gustav Mahler
caps lock.
no, but probably a bit of Debussy. something graceful.
Brian eno, an ending
Waterboys fisherman's blues
That hymn that's set to finlandia by sibelius . Oddly i can remember it in the german as ive sung it at about twenty funerals. Oh yeah, be stil my soul. One of the most perfect bits of religious symphony ever written,
Possky fascination by alphabeat as outro. Let's face it, i won't be giving a shit if this goes wrong.
Consider this my will guys.
Grow til Tall- Jonsi
Preferably showing an IMAX-sized video from his solo tour where the projections on the backdrop go insane during that song! When I saw that show I don't think I was breathing during that whole song. Absolutely stunning!
I want people to cry.
Beatles - Blackbird
Pogues - Lullaby Of London
Beach Boys - God Only Knows

WATCH as the world's elite cyclists race past Ripon's Clock Tower junction.
Thousands of residents and visitors alike gathered for a day of festivities and to watch the world's biggest cycle race make its way around the city during Stage One of the Grand Départ on Saturday.
The ambition of the current Mayor of Ripon is to market his city as "The Meeting Place of Choice" and Coun Mick Stanley said the success and size of the festivities Ripon has pulled-off prove it is deserving of the branding.
"What an absolutely fabulous day for this marvellous sporting occasion that we have got in Ripon," said the Mayor.
"We have visitors from all across the world. They have come to Ripon as a meeting place of choice because of all the wonderful attractions we have got and the fact that you can stand or sit in the square, look at the big screen and see all the events, and are within a 10-minute walk of the race route."
Ripon had the privileged status of being just one of 20 official le Tour Spectator Hubs in God's own county with festivities split across two sites.
The locations were the central market square, described by writer Daniel Defoe in the 18th century as "the finest and most beautiful square that is to be seen of its kind in England", and – on the eastern edge of the city – Ripon Racecourse, known as "Yorkshire's Garden Racecourse" for its outstanding, well-kept grounds.
Early morning rain had stopped by the time the Mayor officially declared the Spectator Hub open just after 9am and by late morning glorious sunshine poured down as people on a packed square enjoyed following all the action of Stage One on the big screen and browsing around the continental market, which also featured children's entertainment.
By early afternoon, most people had left the hub sites to line the race route to greet the arrival of the Tour caravan at around 2.10pm and the riders, who arrived just before 4.20pm, after making their way from the Dales through Masham, West Tanfield and North Stainley.
The crowds thronged the pavements and roadsides as the riders pedalled their way towards Ripon's iconic clock tower.
While the main talk after the race was Mark Cavendish's spectacular crash in the closing metres of the stage finish in Harrogate, the race was not without incident in Ripon with at least two riders coming off their bikes as they tried to negotiate the sharp corner by the clock commemorating Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897.
As the peloton departed the "City of Ancient Charms" and headed south towards Harrogate,
cycle fans rushed back to the market place just in time for the thousands gathered to see on the big screen Mark Cavendish's hopes of winning the first stage of the Grand Départ cruelly dashed just 13 miles away in the spa town.
But post-race, despite the disappointment of the Manx Missile failing to claim yellow, the late afternoon and early evening brought no sense of anticlimax as revellers enjoyed more festivities, including music, films and entertainment at the hub sites which entertained the crowds well into the night.

I've compiled 10 classics from a range of retailers: all sets and prices are service for 4 but range from 3-5 pieces per place setting:

Re: how to stay awake during meditation?
Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 12:18 am
in my experience this doesn't make much difference for sitting meditation, my mindfulness can be very high and focused all day every day for a week straight and i still fall asleep on the cushion. although your words make perfect sense. perhaps i need even more mindfulness!asunthatneversets wrote:The more you meditate the stronger your clarity will become, the strength of your awareness will increase. If you can, try being mindful throughout the day in all activities, remain relaxed but keep a sharp attention, try not to day dream... act like you're driving a car and have to remain aware of all that's going on around you. This will cultivate your mind's clarity, in time when you go to sit your stream of awareness will be unerring and unassailable, the dullness that causes you to tire won't be an issue.Frank wrote: how the hey now do you fall asleep in lotus or half? i mean i doze, but can't actually snooze.

Some Questions have answers. Some answers have questions.Some answers and Quetions do not answer! Do we know or do those responsible for us know?
- مشاركة
We all do not know exactly whether each of us needs help or not because we all live in different situations. One thing we all do know is; "We only need help when we have no answers to our questions, when there is no one to answer them for us, when we have done things wrong and believe we can not turn them around" Many of us have alot of questions and answers that we need to know to help us understand why things happen as they happen, where has all the help gone.?"
I believe we all do know the answers to our own questions and yes there is always someone out there that can help us uproot us from our bad situations. We just do not know who and the right person.
Do we all have love for ourselves, the people we live with....? Ask yourself this, "if i really love myself, what can i do to make someone else love him/herself.? Can i make a change in someone else's life if i was capable/ given the chance? Am i willing too? How can i be of good service to all-justfully,respectfully,(mention it all)?
Rich or poor we all have to come together, make a sacrifice and help each other get the right answers to our questions. We all do not need much, all we need is for someone to show and give us some love and we give it back. lets help each other do what is right and make a better life for all be it Human Rights,Poverty,Health,Conflicts,education, hunger.
What are your questions and answers and what do you think should be done for those of us that need help..? Think about it ,the Life as we see it.

Rental Property
This company delivered an amazing service. From start to finish Cara was a star. Attentive to our requirements with top communication skills. Found us exactly what we needed and we were not even in the country. A trustworthy and honest company who brings the pleasure back into business. After care is second to none, this is not someone who just wants the deal. These are people who really understand relocation and all that is involved and offer an easy transition. Many thanks.

The ONLY place to buy from in Hungary!
From the very first message I sent about the property Cara was efficient, Friendly and knowledgeable.
I took the plunge and bought such an amazing house far better than anything I would have imagined at no doubt the best possible price, Hungary property and Cara helped me through every (Very easy) step of the process and I had a great time in Hungary finalizing the details, Cara has been happy to help with all aspects of aftercare and has put me in touch with other people that can help with building etc,
This company go far and above what any agent is expected to do and I cannot reccomend them highly enough!, I am thrilled with my new house and know I can always rely on Hungary property for any future purchases I may make, Finally Hungary is a stunning country with great people and I can honestly say for a bargain property it is a great place to buy and with hungary property it's impossible to go wrong!!!

Hungary Holiday Home
I recently purchased a property in Hungary and with help from Cara it was easy and hassle free. Cara has a great knowledge of the market in Hungary and was very informative.
It was also nice having English estate agent in Hungary as language can be difficult.
With such a great range of properties in Hungary it was hard to choose but found myself a really nice holiday home and am looking forward to putting my stamp on it.
Overall it was really good experience and I cant recommend Cara and Hungary properties enough. Thanks again

Our First Experience of Buying Abroad
We recently bought a house in Hungary using Hungary Property. We found their services to be efficient, professional but most of all approachable and friendly. No question, however trivial, was too much trouble and when dealing with a different culture this insight was invaluable! The transaction took place from start to finish in the UK and the instructions we received were clear and correct. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hungary Property to anyone looking to buy - they certainly made our experience both informative (with good honest advice) and a real pleasure. We are now looking forward to moving in to our new home.
Corroboration of Service Usage
The BEST property company in Hungary!
We are currently in the market for buying a home in Hungary and had the very good fortune to make contact with Cara. Cara was in regular contact with us before we visited Hungary and provided a very comprehensive list of properties based on our specific criteria, sending extra photographs of suitable properties to us by email. On our visit she and Russ took us to the properties we requested , narrowing down our shortlist as she got to know our likes and dislikes as our visit continued, pinpointing particular properties. Unfortunately, we did not find our perfect property (but did come close) but this was no failure on Cara's part... it was simply down to us.
We have no hesitation at all in recommending her service as she is very professional, trustworthy and honest and we will definitely be back in touch with her in the future.
My husband had the misfortune on a previous visit to enlist the services of a well known property company who promised everything but delivered over priced properties that matched none of his criteria. Cara is a different league; an estate agent who you can trust.

Germany's Ifo confidence index slips in March, economy still expected to grow
FRANKFURT, Germany – An important German index of business optimism fell unexpectedly in March but the institute that conducts the survey said the economy remained on course for growth.
The Ifo index fell to 106.7 points from 107.4 in February. Market analysts had expected a slight increase to 107.6 points.
Germany's economy shrank in the last quarter of last year, but most economists think it may have already started growing again and will avoid a recession like the one that has hit the 17-country eurozone as a whole.
The Ifo institute said Friday that "the German economy remains on track in a challenging environment thanks to strong domestic demand."
The March decline follows four straight increases.
Analyst Carsten Brzeski said the indicator showed a "downward correction" after an overly optimistic reading last month.


text: La Niña: Should I Stay or Should I Go? January 1, 2012 11:19 PM Tweet Volatile weather plagued farm country throughout 2011 as each season's weather disaster left lasting impressions on crops, homes and families. Unfortunately, it appears that same unpredictable weather is here to stay. Three predictions are currently floating through weather expert circles. The first is that La Ni&ndtild;a is here to stay, the second that conditions will become neutral come early spring and the third says there is a 60% chance the weather pattern will turn to a strong El Niño come summer. Gail Martell, of Martell Crop Predictions, says that there are no indicators pointing to La Niña leaving the scene. "Every model I have looked at and every analysis I have viewed from Australia is saying that La Niña is here for a while," she says. Citing the Australian Government Bureau for Meteorology (ENSO) she explained that while some models are showing that La Niña could be near its peak, it will remain through the summer. ENSO says that even though the strength of the La Niña could begin to slowly decline it will remain our weather pattern until the fall. Allen Motew, analyst for QT Weather, says that according to his research the La Niña pattern could have peaked in November which would result in the neutral conditions in March or April. According to the model put out by NWS this week, equatorial water temperature departures will be on a steady rise by February. That would result in two scenarios for the U.S. by March, one dry and one wet. The La Niña effect is predicted to continue, but slow down drastically, in March resulting in above average precipitation for the Mid-Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys, the northern Rockies and Northern Plains. It would also result in dry conditions in the Southern High Plains and Southeast. However, Motew predicts that by the end of April the La Niña will be neutral. Elwynn Taylor, state climatologist at Iowa State University, agrees that La Niña is here for a while but says that looking at historical data it is unlikely the weather will remain neutral and there is a 60% probability that the summer will shift to an El Niño. According to Taylor the La Niña is already considered in the weak-to-moderate stage and although he doesn't agree with Motew that it will remain neutral he does foresee the potential for La Niña to leave. Long-range Forecast and Market Warnings According to Taylor there is a 1-in-3 chance of 1989-like crop conditions in the year ahead. He says the chance of above trend Corn Belt yield is 45%, the chance that drought is over in Texas, Okla. And N.M. is 25% and says there is significant chance of flooding on the Missouri river, but the degree of flooding will be determined by winter snow pack. Martell says that regardless of when and if the weather pattern changes to El Niño, the current La Niña has the potential to keep Brazil in drought which holds implications for the soybean market. "Moisture stress is building in Brazil corn and soybeans due to sub-par rainfall since Nov. 1. Dry conditions would not be damaging in Brazil crops, if generous rainfall developed the remainder of the summer season. Yet with a moderately strong La Nina in effect, there may be a reason to worry about drought," warns Martell. She says that last year Brazil had the highest yield in eight years and produced over 75.50 million metric tons of soybeans. La Niña is the only thing this year's weather has in common with last year's. According to her Brazil's current weather forecasts looks much like 2008-09 when Brazil's soybean crop suffered in drought. The countries top three farm states are all suffering from lack of rainfall and Martell warns that should the dry spell continue through the rest of the growing season yield damage will be significant and will impact the global soybean market.

Thanks to everyone who donated food to the Letter Carrier's Food Drive May 10. Thanks to the U.S. letter carriers for a nationwide effort that is the largest food drive in the country. Thanks to the Henderson County United Way for coordination and publicity at the local level.
Thanks to Gerald Brown, president of the NALC branch 248, Kelly Hart, supervisor for the rural letter carriers in Henderson County, and special thanks to the Hendersonville city and county letter carriers.
On their delivery routes, they collected and delivered more than 43,374 punds of food to the Postal Annex. Volunteers and staff from Interfaith Assistance Min-istry, United Way, Salvation Army, MANNA Food Bank, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, ROTC and area high school students sorted, packed and weighed the food as it came in.
The food was divided equally among the food pantries at Interfaith Assistance Ministry, Salvation Army and MANNA Food Bank. (MANNA distributed their third to the smaller food pantries in Henderson County.) Thanks to the folks at MANNA for providing their truck and driver to deliver IAM's share. Thanks to the firefighters from the Hendersonville Fire Department for helping our staff unload more than seven tons of food at IAM!
Everybody's generosity and hard work is greatly appreciated. This food drive really helps to keep the IAM Food Pantry stocked during this time of the year. Last year, with your help, IAM distributed more than 163,000 meals to 8,594 individuals.
Thank you all for helping our volunteers be the hands that distribute what the heart of the community provides... offering a hand up, not a handout.
David R. Cook, executive director Interfaith Assistance Ministry
My wife and I would like to thank all of those good folks who came and gave us assistance last week when my wife had an accident in town.
Immediate help was given by Dr. Matthew Cannon of the Henderson Eye Clinic and all his wonderful staff. Plus the local ambulance crew and fire department.
Thank you, Doris and Alan Nunn
Three years ago my brother David Redman had an accident. He passed away Thursday, April 18. We would like to thank the staff at Mission Hospital and Rockcastle Regional Hospital for the wonderful care that he received while at these two hospitals.
We would like to thank our family and friends for their prayers, calls, cards and meals during our time of bereavement. We are grateful to our dear friend Bill Dages for coming to speak at our family memorial service for David. We feel very blessed to live in Hendersonville.
From the Redman, Baxter, Hudson and Casoria families.
Word of Thanks: May 23
Thanks to everyone who donated food to the Letter Carrier's Food Drive May 10. Thanks to the U.S. letter carriers for a nationwide effort that is the largest food drive in the country. Thanks to the Henderson County United Way for coordination and publicity at the local level.
