EditShaolin History
The historical origin of Shaolin started in 464 CE, Batuo, a Dhyana Master who came to China from India to spread Buddhist teachings, saw that Mount Song resembled a lotus flower and wanted to establish a Temple within the "flower". The Emperor agreed to build a Temple to worship Batuo. The Temple, located at the bottom of Shaoshi Mountain, is covered with lush forests (Lin). So it was named, "Shaolin Temple".
Shaolin excel in external skills, and many of its disciples have become great masters in the world. The Shaolin uphold righteousness, and have a good reputation with the common people of China.
EditNotable Members
Shaolin are easy to play, and have strong group support and damage skills. They focus mainly on melee attacks in PVP making them weak against ranged attacks. Shaolin have some of the best control abilities, and are good for players who like teamwork and being a leader.
Forbidden Instance:Shaolin is the best choice to attract enemies in the Forbidden Instance because of their strong control abilities, and Rage Skills. With the best area control ability, and special Internal Skills (passive HP recovery), Shaolin players can challenge the Forbidden Instance by themselves.

Rebecca C. Jordan, Rutgers University, U.S
Wesley R. Brooks, Rutgers University, U.S.
In recent years there has been great interest in the value of undergraduate research to students, faculty, and the scientific community at large (see discussion in Lopatto, 2003). Benefits of undergraduate research include, but are not limited to, improvements in psychological well-being, clarification of career goals, scientific literacy, scientific skills attainment, academic retention, and cognitive development (see review in Bauer & Bennett, 2003). Furthermore, such independent research experiences can have a number of benefits related to professionalism, socialization into communities of practice, and confidence (e.g., Hunter, Laursen, & Seymour, 2007; Seymour et al., 2004).
Providing these research experiences is not without cost, however. First, there can be a tension between the goals of the research in terms of an educational experience as opposed to scholarship alone (Laursen, Seymour, & Hunter, 2012). Additionally, faculty surveyed at a large comprehensive university cited limitation in time and resources as a barrier to providing undergraduates with research (e.g., Zydney et al., 2002). In spite of these costs, the faculty in this study recognized the value of these independent experiences for undergraduates and discussed benefits for their graduate students in terms of gaining teaching and mentorship experiences. The authors did not comment, however, on the extent of graduate participation or whether or not graduate students eased the burden of providing authentic research for undergraduates.
In this manuscript we will discuss the implementation of a graduate student-led mentorship program targeting undergraduate research at a large research-intensive university. We focus particularly on graduate student development because while the effects of undergraduate research programs have been well documented, graduate student development has not garnered much attention. Further, we discuss the relative effort of faculty involved in the program to determine if our approach could help to ameliorate some of the barriers to faculty participation described above.
The Graduate Mentoring Fellows Program
The goal of the Graduate Mentoring Fellows Program (GMFP) was to engage graduate students in a certificate program focused on improving undergraduate research mentoring skills. Here we define mentorship as "a process by which persons of superior rank, special achievements and prestige, instruct, counsel, guide and facilitate the intellectual and/or career development of another," (Blackwell, 1989). The program integrated theory, scholarship, and application in the development of both tangible and conceptual tools for graduate students to employ while working with undergraduate mentees. This experience needed to (1) be manageable in terms of time (i.e., no more than one hour of coursework per week) and (2) make explicit the professional development of the graduate students in an effort to showcase this certificate for both scholarly and professional advancement.
GMFP was advertised as an academic year-long certificate program intended to provide participants with the opportunity to study the functions involved with serving as a mentor to undergraduates in the sciences. Through this program, Ph.D. students were encouraged to develop the skills necessary for the management of teaching college classes and laboratories. They also discussed how to establish professional relationships with students to help them realize their academic and professional potential. In addition, setting boundaries, identifying cultural norms across the disciplines, and professional responsibility in academe were covered. Sessions also included what it means to be a faculty member and how future faculty should consider the multiple roles of the academic profession. A $300 travel grant was offered to the graduate students as an incentive for participation. Participants were expected to attend weekly course meetings in the fall and a bi-weekly seminar to discuss issues and development in the spring. They were also expected to hold regular meetings with their undergraduates in order to encourage and prepare their mentees to complete a final presentation of their research project via a poster or oral presentation to the entire GMFP group at a research showcase event at the end of the academic year.
Thirteen graduate students enrolled in the program after nineteen individuals expressed interest. Three students did not remain involved beyond the first semester (one student cited timing, one cited workload, and one did not continue). One of the ten graduate students who completed the program opted to not complete the evaluation materials. Meanwhile, twelve undergraduates, mentored by our graduate students, agreed to participate at some level in the program (either by responding to surveys and/or participating in a final presentation to the group).
While not part of an intended research project, we wanted to determine the extent to which graduate students reported satisfaction, a sense of professional skill development, and a change in mentorship perceptions and practices. In addition, we sought to determine the extent to which the undergraduates changed their views on mentorship and their professional goals. We, therefore, conducted an informal evaluation of our program (See Supplemental Materials for select questions used in survey instruments asked of undergraduate or graduate students, whose responses informed our evaluation). Below we highlight some of our findings in an effort to initiate a discussion that can guide more systematic research into the practice of graduate-undergraduate student mentorship.
Our Findings
Time Commitment Given to the Course Relative to Other Needs – All eight graduate student respondents felt that the time required was reasonable. While seven respondents set goals for their research that they did not attain, they attributed time management as the primary reason for not meeting their goals (research goals were consistently rated as the most important activity for graduate students). Additionally, six graduate student respondents said assessment for success as graduate students was based on publication productivity, while the remaining two based success on mentor approval. Most graduate student respondents had made contributions in terms of publication and reported no change or improvements in terms of relations with their mentors.
Views on Professional Development and Scholarship – All nine graduate student respondents felt that they had sufficient material to use in their Curriculum Vitae and teaching portfolios. The broadening of views on scholarship was a major interest of the course participants. Interestingly, when asked about their thoughts about the parallels between mentorship and scholarly research before the mentoring experience, only two graduate student respondents approached the question by identifying parallels in the type of scholarly thinking used. The others responded with topical responses (e.g., scheduling, timing, etc.). Post experience, while only one individual approached the question by focusing on scholarly thinking, four graduate students changed their responses to parallel thinking in procedure (e.g., troubleshooting type responses).
Changes in How Mentorship is Viewed Pre- and Post-participation – We asked participants to define what makes a "good mentor" and "good mentee" and divided their responses into four variable categories: 1. knowledge variables (referring to characteristics featuring conceptual knowledge or procedural skill), 2. integrity variables (referring to characteristics such as responsible, honest, or respectful), 3. affective variables (referring to characteristics such as sensitive, caring, patient, committed, motivated, responsive, open, etc.), and 4. skill variables (referring to characteristics featuring mentoring skills targeting mentor or mentee communication, clarity, organization, timely, encouraging independence, or critical thinking).
Of the eight graduate student mentor and eight undergraduate mentee respondents, five of each cited knowledge variables pre-experience, while only three of each cited them post-experience. Integrity variables were mentioned by one mentor and one mentee each before and by two mentors and one mentee after the program. Affective variables were cited by six of each group before and by all mentors and seven mentees after the program. Finally, skill variables were cited by three mentors and one undergraduate before and by five mentors but no mentees post-experience.
Regarding mentee quality, affective variables were cited by all eight mentor respondents both pre- and post-experience. However, the number of mentors citing integrity (from five to three), skill (from four to two), and knowledge (from one to zero) variables were all less frequently cited after completion of the program by mentors.
Changes in Career Plans of Undergraduates Pre- and Post-participation – Two of the nine undergraduate respondents previously said that they intended to apply for graduate school for research and still intend to do so while the other seven respondents reported a change in their views on the research profession because of their research experience with graduate student mentors. Five of these undergraduate respondents have chosen not to pursue research (and presumably graduate school) as a profession while the other two undergraduate respondents are now considering applying to graduate school. Thus, while seven undergraduate respondents were originally interested in pursuing graduate school before the program, only four respondents claim to be interested now. Interestingly, though the attrition rate of those undergraduates originally interested in graduate school was five out of seven (71%), both of the respondents who did not originally profess an interest in applying to graduate school now say that they are likely to after being mentored in active research. Eight of nine undergraduate respondents reported positive experiences with their mentors, yet only two of the respondents reported being able to pursue independent research projects as may be necessary for future career goals.
Undergraduate Mentee Experience – Looking beyond graduate education, 10 out of 11 undergraduate respondents reported in a separate set of surveys that they felt they got what they were looking for out of the research lab experience. All 11 responded that they gained valuable skills from this experience. As one individual eloquently stated, "Although I decided not to go to grad school, the "thinking" skills, including reading, presenting, and simply carrying a project from start to finish, are skills that will be applicable in almost any field I decide to go into."
When probed about particular strengths and weaknesses, students listed the following strengths: figuring out problems independently, time management, interpersonal skills, organization skills, analytical skills, teamwork skills, hands-on identification of problems, brainstorming skills, leadership skills, and excitement to do research. Weaknesses included: stats, designing independent research, troubleshooting errors, getting frustrated, and relating to the big picture. What is notable about these responses is that they are the kinds of benefits and realizations that faculty are often seeking to promote for their students when in mentoring relationships. As stated earlier in the manuscript, these include professionalism, socialization into communities of practice, and confidence (e.g., Hunter, Laursen, & Seymour, 2007; Seymour et al., 2004). The latter is particularly important for engagement as many students may lack confidence because, as one student stated, " [I was] afraid of making mistakes and screwing things up." Post-experience, we also noted that students attributed their supreme confidence in (1) carrying out experiments, (2) analyzing results, and perhaps most importantly, (3) asking for help, to the mentoring experience.
The evidence we compiled over the course of the academic year suggests that our program resulted in enhanced professional skills and a change in mentorship views with respect to undergraduate science mentees and graduate student mentors. With respect to mentorship views, it appears that mentors and mentees focus least on integrity and skill variables when identifying a good mentor, yet, knowledge variables were the only ones that decreased in stated importance post-experience in both groups. It seems that both mentee and mentor attitudes are viewed as of primary importance to having a positive mentorship experience. Finally, undergraduate researchers overwhelmingly reported positive experiences with the majority of these students reporting a change in career plans as a result of their participation, though not necessarily in favor of a career in research or plans to attend graduate school. Additionally, these undergraduates reported gaining (and sometimes not gaining) skills that generally meet the goals of these types of experiences, with the key difference being that graduate students, rather than faculty, were their primary mentors.
While we only have limited data, we can explore the notion that positive intention and enthusiasm are the most highly valued elements of the mentor/mentee relationship. This should come to no surprise given the highly social nature of the laboratory working environment when compared to the classroom. Indeed, socialization has been cited as a key benefit of the independent laboratory experience (e.g., Hunter, Laursen, & Seymour, 2007; Seymour et al., 2004). Most of the mentees and mentors shared positive experiences.
Additionally, we can hypothesize that the graduate mentors may have entered the endeavor with a sense that students who were more knowledgeable would be more successful mentees, but then changed their expectations as a result of the experience. Almost all of the mentors shared, anecdotally, that students had less research knowledge and skill than expected. Yet, these mentors reported positive experiences. It is possible that in working with their mentees, they found interpersonal benefit, which may not have been expected.
However, in light of these positive experiences, the net result was a decrease in the intention to enter graduate school on the part of the undergraduates. This was somewhat unexpected given other studies (e.g., Zydney et al., 2002). We believe that this level of attrition may be related to a realistic sense of the profession. Indeed, a series of national studies suggests a 50% attrition rate from graduate school (Lovitts & Nelson, 2000). This is higher than the undergraduate level of attrition and has interestingly been linked to a similar cause as the latter: lack of social support (Lovitts, 1996). We argue that research into the types of social support provided is warranted. In summary, the data presented in this manuscript, though scant, encourages a broader discussion of the nature of the undergraduate research experience and the potentially large role graduate students can play as mentors to undergraduates.

Gladys Engel Lang: Scholar, Author, and Collector
We are saddened to report the passing of Gladys Engel Lang on March 23, 2016.
Born in 1919 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Gladys Engel studied sociology at the University of Michigan and the University of Washington, Seattle, before entering government service, working in Office of War Information from 1942-1943, then later in the Office of Strategic Services (a predecessor to the CIA) from 1943-1949. She entered a doctoral program in sociology at the University of Chicago in 1949, where she met and married fellow student Kurt Lang.
Gladys Engel Lang and Kurt Lang on their wedding day, June, 1950
In the early 1950s, the Langs began their productive careers as collaborators, authoring the ground-breaking study "The Unique Perspective of Television and Its Effect: A Pilot Study," in which they documented how television coverage shapes and effects how viewers understand and react to events. Decades of fruitful collaborations followed, including their 1990 book Etched in Memory: The Building and Survival of Artistic Reputation. This study focused on the painter-etcher movement between the 1860s and World War II, seeking to understand the process whereby some artists but not others come to be considered worth remembering. In 2014, the Langs made an important gift of 1,446 prints and drawings to SCMA. This collection has been the subject of several installations at the Museum over the past two years, and will be featured in an upcoming special exhibition.
Gladys Engel Lang and Kurt Lang, 2015
Gladys Engel Lang had a particular interest in the study of forgotten women etchers, and the Lang Collection is rich in examples of little-known talented printmakers such as Greta Delleany, Bertha Gorst, Sylvia Gosse, Catherine M. Nichols, Constance M. Pott, Marjorie Sherlock Gabrielle de Vaux Clements, Blanche Dillaye, Edith Loring Peirce Getchell, Bertha Jacques, Katherine Merrill, and Mary Nimmo Moran, among others.
Sir Frank Short (English, 1857 – 1945). Low Tide and the Evening Star and Rye's Long Pier Deserted, 1888. Etching printed in black on medium weight, slightly textured, cream-colored paper. The Gladys Engel Lang and Kurt Lang Collection. Promised gift. SC TR 7604.512.
We are grateful to Gladys and the Lang family for entrusting SCMA with the legacy of their work in the form of the prints, drafts, and research for the Etched in Memory project. SCMA is committed to making these vital documents available to generations of scholars and students so that they may continue to study and extend the Langs' research.

President to address Parliament's joint session today
This will be the third consecutive address of President Hussain, which will be presided over by Speaker of the National Assembly Ayaz Sadiq.
President Hussain will highlight the performance of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government along with elaborating the challenges the country face, including terrorism and extremism.
He will also shed light on the major achievements by the security forces in the war against terror.
Hussain is also expected to take the parliamentarians into confidence over the steps taken to improve the economic health of the country, while overcoming the issue of energy shortage at the same time.
It is mandatory for the President under the Pakistani Constitution to address a joint session of the parliament at the start of a new parliamentary year, a tradition started under the regime of former military ruler Zia-ul-Haq in the year 1985.

Vice President's Message
Vice President's Message
Welcome to SUNY Delhi where "the student is the most important person." The departments within Student Life are designed to serve and support you throughout your university journey. Staffed with highly trained professionals that treat you like family, we are here to support your personal growth and success.
The O'Connor Center for Community Engagement, Student Activities and Athletics provide numerous opportunities to make new friends, learn about something different, serve others, and be a part of the greater Bronco community. Most importantly, they help you develop important essential skills like leadership and critical thinking which, along with your SUNY Delhi degree, will distinguish you from other graduates when you apply for your first "dream" job.
The College Union, CADI, Residence Life, Kunsela Hall Pool and Fitness Center offer places to meet, live, eat, exercise, relax and recreate: a home away from home. Growing up, my father used to say "Mi Casa su Casa" (my house is your house) and for the next four years we want you to feel like "there's no place like SUNY Delhi" (thank you, Dorothy and Toto).
Health and Counseling Services provide professional and personal care for both your physical and mental health. You will probably never have such high quality service and support literally at your "doorstep." I encourage you to use them in a proactive way. No problem or concern is too small and the last thing we want is for some minor unattended issue to become a larger problem that impacts your health and success as a student in a negative way.
Finally, Student Rights & Responsibilities and University Police support and nurture a safe and welcoming environment that supports learning both in and outside of the classroom. If you have any questions about our policies or procedures, are in a difficult situation, or just do not know where to start, please visit the Student Life office or our on-campus police station.
I have designated office hours for students only on Wednesdays (3 to 4 p.m.) and Thursdays (3 to 4 p.m.) in Bush 146. I also have a free "Dine with the VP for Student Life" once a week during lunch at either the Farrell or MacDonald Dining Center. If you are interested, just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I attend as many student programs and events as I can during the week, and when I am not on campus, I can be found with my partner Cara and three children Diego, Zavi and Paloma enjoying life in the greater Delaware county area.
Wishing you "good effort" and much success as you embark upon or continue your SUNY Delhi journey.

text: My friend is planning on getting a flash cart, so I'll probably be the one to buy it for him - either I'll get him something like the DSTT or I'll get that for myself and sell him the R4, unless theres a better option. Any ideas? I don't think I need 4gb+ cards, but it'd be nice to have. Its just way too many games, but at the same time...I need a GBA cart too. EWin or 3-in-1? I mean, i'm not looking to profit (maybe a little) for this, so its more of whether the R4 is really worth keeping with all of the newer cards out (Its one of the first R4's that came with the two cases and a spring )

San Francisco has one of the largest HIV-positive populations in the United States with an estimated 16,010 people living with HIV.
Of the total number of San Franciscans living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 2016, 9,347 were living with HIV ever classified as AIDS. AIDS is a late-stage of HIV disease defined by a low count of CD4 cells or an opportunistic infection.
Gay and bisexual men of all ages and ethnicities continue to bear the brunt of the disease, and 79% of new HIV diagnoses are among gay and bisexual men.
In 2016, there were 223 new HIV diagnoses, a decrease in number from recent years.
Of those newly diagnosed with HIV in 2016, 87% identified as male, 79% were men who have sex with men, a majority (57%) were between 25-39 years old, and 39% were white.
In the past five years, there have been small increases in the proportion of Latinos (20% in 2011 to 28% in 2016) and Asian/Pacific Islanders (8% to 15%) who make up new HIV diagnoses. The proportion of new diagnoses among people ages 25 to 29 years increased from 16% in 2011 to 24% in 2016.
African Americans are disproportionately represented among new HIV infections. While Black San Franciscans are only 6% of the city's population, they represented 15% of new diagnoses in 2016.
Neighborhoods showing the most new HIV diagnoses are located in central parts of the city in the Castro, Tenderloin, and South of Market. The Tenderloin had the highest newly diagnosed rate (181 per 100,000 people), followed by the Castro (177 per 100,000) and South of Market (131 per 100,000).
More than half (64%) of all newly diagnosed people living with HIV are engaged in ongoing HIV care for three to nine months after their first medical visit.
Among all people diagnosed with HIV in San Francisco, 73% have their virus under control (are virally suppressed) compared to 63% in California. People who are virally suppressed have better health outcomes and do not transmit HIV to other people.
On average, 74% of people newly diagnosed with HIV (with a current San Francisco address as of December 2014) were virally suppressed within a year of diagnosis in San Francisco. Neighborhoods that fall below this average include Visitacion Valley (67%), the Tenderloin, Nob Hill and Treasure Island (69% each), Excelsior (71%), Bayview (72%) and the Sunset and Ingleside (73% each).
Survival after AIDS diagnosis is worse for African-Americans than for other racial/ethnic groups. The five-year survival probability among people diagnosed with AIDS between 2006 and 2014 was 80% for African-Americans compared to 87% for whites, 90% for Latinos, and 92% for Asian/Pacific Islanders.
In 2016, 63% of those living with HIV in San Francisco were over 50 years old. In 2005, only 38% of those living with HIV were over 50.
In California, an estimated 138,879 people were living with HIV and AIDS in 2014. About 91% (126,241 people) had been diagnosed, and 52% (71,683) had achieved viral suppression.
Younger people (between the ages of 13 and 24) had the lowest rates of viral suppression (45%) and people over the age of 65 had the highest rates (63%). Men were more likely to be virally suppressed than women (57% versus 53%) and white, Asian and multi-racial Californians were more likely to be virally suppressed than African American and Latino Californians.
In the United States, an estimated 1.1 million people were living with HIV/AIDS at the end of 2012. About 14% (or about 1 in 7 people, or 157,000 people total) don't know they're infected.
There were an estimated 37,600 new HIV infections in 2014. There has been a 10% decrease in new infections from 2010 to 2014.
In 2015, an estimated 18,303 people were diagnosed with AIDS. Since the epidemic began in the early 1980s, an estimated 1,216,917 people have been diagnosed with AIDS. In 2014, there were 6,721 HIV-related deaths.

Our diverse programs help thousands of people every year. From testing to prevention to care, our services assist communities where need is greatest.
Keep up with what's happening now in the fight against HIV from foundation experts.

Andy Sartori was out with friends to grab a bite. While eating, he noticed two of his colleagues who ordered the same meal. Both of them were on a diet but have different profiles. Despite the same goal, both of them differ in a lot of ways -- gender, lifestyle, body type, and much more. His female friend was eating a little too much for her diet, while his male friend was eating too little.
"I realized that restaurants are too standard, but people are very much unique. For this reason, I started 'MealPro'," Andy said.
MealPro | Eat With Purpose
MealPro is a California-based online food delivery service that takes the customer's profile into account. Instead of mindlessly eating food, MealPro's goal is to provide you with the necessary figures that would lead to the most effective and healthiest diet. "We want to learn about you (the customer) so we can serve you food that is appropriate for who you are and what your fitness goals are," he added.
Once their customers know what they need for a successful diet, they can visit the site's menu page. Here, the customers can see photos of various food they can order. One feature the site offers is the pop-out details box. The box contains very detailed information about the food, from nutritional facts (protein, calorie, carbohydrate, fiber content) to its ingredients.
Through the years, human activity has been changing. Instead of walking around and taking part in various physical activities, most people tend to sit in front of their computer screens all day long. People who do so must never forget the value of health. "People are so busy with life that they choose what's right there in front of them. Cooking takes time so people choose fast food because of its convenience. MealPro is about change, you can have healthy meals delivered to your door that take five minutes to heat and you have a healthy meal in no time," shared Andy.
The website was beautiful and the food was great, but Andy wanted more people to experience what MealPro has to offer. There was room for improvement and Andy wanted what was best for the people and for MealPro: He wanted to automate the process of having a nutritionist compute customer data. Instead of calling MealPro for a custom-made meal plan, Andy wanted a meal plan to be made the moment a customer wrote down his information on the site.
A friend of Andy's suggested that he get a freelancer to do the job. He chose to hire on Freelancer.com.
Achieving Real-time on Freelancer
Having the opportunity to look at freelancer reviews was a phenomenal feature in choosing the right freelancer for the job. "We were concerned about finding qualified people in a timely manner so we posted to a few platforms, including Freelancer. Within minutes of posting on Freelancer, we had our first inquiry, and much more would follow. When sorting through candidates I was able to expand each applicant's profile and look through all of their previous projects and prior reviews. Some freelancers had repeat business of increasing value - that spoke volumes. Within three days we had awarded the bid to a freelancer and the project had begun on Freelancer," Andy explained.
He hired Palestinian based freelancer, Abdullah, to create a software that would calculate customer data real-time. It meant wonders for MealPro because it would, later on, lead to a greater conversion rate of customers. Instead of navigating away from the site while waiting for their customized meal plans, they would just have to wait for a second or two to get the data they want.
"Abdullah worked closely with our team. We had regular conversations and a strict timeline on deliverables. The project was completed successfully and was placed on the homepage of MealPro. Over the next few months, we would do some minor modifications in response to user feedback and testing. Prior to this automation, the typical customer lifecycle was eight weeks from Prospect to Customer. Not only did this reduce conversion time by two weeks, but it also increased conversion about by nearly 15%!" Andy added.
Andy hiring a freelancer was a great business solution. Any thoughts on improving your own business? Hire a freelancer and find YOUR solution.

I have a 1993 Celica GTS and it has been a great car. It had 17,000 miles on it when I got it and it now has over 208,000 on it. It has been my main driver since '93 and I have had very few problems with it over the years. It's still a sharp looking car after over 20 yrs. and very reliable.

I own a 95 convertible 2.2 I've done basic preventive maint.shocks,brakes.cat converter,new top(not basic but someone decided that I needed better air circulation)anyway I keep my car in a garage as I live in the city.I have no dents an I also had outside and inside detailing done.This is my baby,anyway I have one problem,maybe one of you can give me some advice.I recently noticed my check engine light go on,I've checked the basics to no avail,ex:gas cap,fuses hoses etc.any Ideas would be appreciated,Thanks
By on 7/14/13 | Riverton, UT
Good reliable car with no issues at about 176000 miles. With the automatic it is still quite fast and can get over 30 mpg on the highway. Very few repairs needed, such as an oil pump and the coolant overflow bottle leaked. Handles well and just seems like it will go forever. Much better than an Accord of the same age that I own. Very rare and people hang onto them.

A great second car, but not one for the claustrophobic. Just now ready for our 5000 mile checkup with 5048 miles. First car is a 1997 Previa with 160,000 plus miles. Never owned a better car (nor van).

Bought mine for 2500 dollars love the car,but it seems to have a pickup problem even after having a tps and maf put on it, now it rattles real hard from time to time at stops. Just can't figure it out. If anyone knows a solution please respond. Neal

Just recently turned over 326,500 miles on my '92 Celica ST! Replacing some hoses this week, but besides routine stuff, can't complain. Great body style, good interior, still chugging along, paid for, AND averaging 30 MPG!!!

On my 1991 Toyota Celcia I had to replace my fuel pump twice. First one only lasted a year and half.

I bought a 91 celica gts, and i like it, however, id love it if it ran, i drove it home the day i got it, the very next day it died, it would try to start but wouldnt hold. We replaced the fuel pump, and charged the battery, now the car wont even turn over.....any suggestions, or ideas.

It is lovely and looks cool! All of my friends love my car because she has full racing TRD body kit. Suspension is excellent! so I can drive crazy in sharp corners ^^ Do not expect the engine would suprise you ... but I don't care.

I bought my 95 celica convertible 5 years ago with 119.000 miles on it. It has 179,000 now and still runs like great. I love this car and was wondering what people thought re: putting money into it to recondition it? New paint job, new top etc. just don't want to do this and then the engine goes. Any comments would be appreciated.
By on 12/21/10 | Elk Grove, CA
I have owned my car since driving out the door from the show room, she has over 150k miles on her and still runs sweet. Most all of the part are original on the block and are almost as clean as the day they where put on. The wind flows approximately an inch off her surface and she slides and hugs the road effortlessly. The only major repairs I have had is at 130K the catalytic converter and sensors required replacement; at 100K the air conditioning unit required full replacement because I failed to catch the unit failing and it spewed ball barings through out the system. I hauled many things in the hatch area and found it carries approximate equivalent of a small pickup open area.

I loved this car when I first bought it 2 yrs used. 48,000 miles, ran great, handled great but once I hit 80,000 mi. it began burning oil, up to a qt / week. There was then a significant loss of hp and it emitted a good amount of white smoke. I have read around various websites and blogs only to find that this is a common problem up thru the 2002 models but not significant enough to warrant a recall/ or class actions suit. (or maybe too expensive of problem for toyota to admit to) However, shame on me...I have not fixed nor replaced the engine since 2005 and the dang thing still runs well with the exception of the loss of power. If I were rating it based on how tough/reliable it is...then it would be rated all 5's.... but the problems do exist. Other than that, some minor problems with headlamps and interior accessories.
By on 7/7/10 | Indianapolis, IN
Great Car! Defiantly go for the GTS it makes all the difference in the world! Only issue would be weak support for large lights; the plastic breaks over time.
By on 6/25/10 | New York, NY
I absolutely love my Celica. Maybe, because it's my first car, or maybe because it's just amazing. It's 16 years old now, but I can still feel like the king on the road, while I'm driving it.
If you're looking for a low budget sportscar this is a very good choice. Highly reccomended!

1995 Toyota Celica ST. I LOVE my car and have had it forever. I had to replace some things due to it sitting, but other than that..great. more recently, the ring in the third cylinder went and I needed to replace the engine..boooooo. :(

I bought this car one year ago with about 130,000 miles on it. I have had no problems at all. Today I did find a leak in the main oil seal so i'll find out what that'll cost. This car has been great

Cool car, hard and expensive to find parts for!

I love my 93 Celica GT Convertible with a 2.2 engine. I have owned many many cars and this little cherry has out performed and out lasted even my BMW. this car is fast...the GT gets up and goes, I blow V6's away like they are standing still. its helpful that it weighs about 150# !! the interior is surprisingly comfortable with more than enough leg room. I expected a jerky, bouncy ride but this car glides like Cadillac!! You have no clue you are going 90-100mph!! I only have 125000 miles on this so its well worth investing a new clear coat (oxidation from the previous owner) and the front end half shafts just starting clicking.. I paid $2500 for this little gem and every single thing still works!! The power convertible top, all 4 windows, all locks and releases.. ONe of the best vehicles I have ever owned!! I do not reccomend driving this car with a convertible in the winter however, the snow accumulated just one time on my roof and split my back plastic window right in half..I will be buying a Toyota 4runner for next winter. Thank God for comprehensive insurance!!

I bought my 1995 Celica less then a year ago, it has 100k miles on it and still ran great. Outside of a tune up I have had no issues out of her. I would not give her up, love the pep the GT model has with only a 1.8 in it
By on 2/23/09 | Berkeley, CA
I love my 1990 Celica - it is a reliable ride for many years now. Zippy, light, yet powerful, and the GT gets me around with a little zip.
By on 2/4/09 | Sandy, UT
My 1994 Celica is the best car I've ever had. I think that much higher priced sports car drivers are surprised when I out corner/curve them. I have the 1.8 engine ST with an auto trans. The best thing? It has 246 thousand miles and still drives great! The road clearance is amazing considering it looks low to the ground. I've taken it camping on rough roads and the little bugger is very tough - I even slammed the front wheels into a unseen ditch on a dirt road and rocked it out by slamming the tranny fwd-reverse, fwd-reverse until it pulled me out in reverse. No damage.
The original cloth upholstery still looks good (I weigh 220 lbs) and the driver seat lumbar support still leaves me feeling rested on long drives. My 6' tall friend was forced to ride in the back seat for 450 miles and when I asked how it was he replied "Pretty good". I could go on and on, let's just say that this is one hell of a car. Oh, did I mention the very responsive and intelligent gearing? Ok, nevermind.

Fun, zippy little package. The extra 40 horses in the GT-S doesn't make as much of a performance bump as does the shorter gearing of the 6-speed tranny. All in all, I'm totally happy with my GT.
By on 10/9/08 | Miami, FL
I've been with this car since 2004. Apart from the fact that some parts are only available from the dealer and are expensive, this car is a work horse and only needed the common oil change and one or two services in between.

I detail the entire process below. I suggest that you start out with a photo of your child that has some depth of emotion. This will make your end result more interesting. In the photo of my daughter, I caught her while she was listening to a tiny rock. It was egg-shaped, so I suggested that there might be an egg inside. She then promptly put the rock to her ear and I snapped a photo of her in a deep state of focus.
Here's the first image I took:

Your most recent addition was:
By the time you read this, Nick Sanders will be 10 days away from becoming the only person ever to complete three complete and consecutive transits of the total 15 000 mile length of the Americas – that's the very top of Alaska to the very bottom of South America in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, three times non-stop, two of the legs in a world record time of around 46 days. This may never be repeated and for very good reason. Nick Sanders explains why…..
"It was too hard, way too hard, much more so than I imagined and not just the riding but the complete lack of time off," he said, "when you go around the world on say a Guinness Record, the clock actually stops while you put the bike on the plane as cargo between continents, so it gives you breathing space, but not this time. There's only one flight leg from Bogota in Colombia to Panama City and the rules state that this is included."
Nick did not have a single day off unless you include arriving in Ushuaia, the southern tip of Argentina at the bottom of the second leg at 1.30 am; "it had been snowing because it was mid-winter down there and it took me 5 hours to do the last 50 kms. I kept binning the bike head first in the side of the road but I crawled into the end of the leg recording 21 days 19 hours. To give you an idea of how quick that was, I think the Guinness Record for something similar is around 34 or 35 days, then I went and did it again going north in 23 days!"
Because a strap got caught around the final drive, Nick blew an 'o' ring so he got a mechanic to sort it out and put on metal studded snow tyres for the journey back, "wow, what a difference, I mean these guys race on ice so what they fitted turned a 5 hour ride into 2 so I just tore into the snow heading north."
Nick is riding Yamaha's new machine the Super Tenere, designed to go head to head with other duel purpose adventure bikes, was it up to scratch? "It's difficult sounding totally credible when I'm sponsored by Yamaha, but hand on heart, mothers life and all that, this is a phenomenal bike. It has done 50 000 miles in the hardest conditions on the planet, and fast with ordinary servicing, nothing special and nothing has gone wrong. I love my R1's but for reliability and for what it can do; the Super Tenere has blown me away. This bike is world class." It looks like three times up and down the longest and toughest road in the world says it all.
"I've tried and tested Touratechs new Campanero double suit and it has been warm and cool just as I wanted it, basically an unusual concept that is definitely working. My Conti Trail Attack tyres won't wear out and I've had brilliant support from everyone, first and foremost Carole Nash alongside my Held boots which have done 70 000 miles and Alf England over at Bedworth. You know, I just can't do this without them so a big thanks guys to you all!!! Let's get the final bit done."
Nick will be home in two weeks' time if all goes to plan and right now enduring heavy rain in Managua, Nicaragua. He'll be through Honduras in the morning then El Salvador by early afternoon followed by Guatemala and just maybe into Mexico. The next three days will take him across Mexico before the final assault of North America and four and a half days to Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

Two mental health care providers in Illinois are cutting services as a direct result of the ongoing state budget impasse.
Former workers of a now-closed Old Country Buffet in Chicago are suing for back pay compensation after the restaurant abruptly shut down in early March.
Four former employees of the shuttered Old Country Buffet, located at 6125 N. Lincoln Ave., filed a federal lawsuit in April against the restaurant's operator, Texas-based Food Management Partners.
The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, alleges the company failed to notify employees about the layoffs 60 days before closing the restaurant on March 7. Under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, a 60-day layoff notice is required when a business closing will result in the loss of 50 or more job positions that required more than 20 hours a week.
At the now-closed Old Country Buffet on Lincoln Avenue, there were 57 employees who worked more than 20 hours a week, according to the lawsuit.
"A number of the people who worked there were employed for over ten years," said Carolyn Morales with Arise Chicago, a worker center assisting the laid off Old Country Buffet workers. "This is not high school students' part-time job. This is people's profession."
Over 1,300 Illinoisans are poised to soon lose their jobs, according to the monthly Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act report from May.
Current and former Chicago Nabisco bakery workers and their supporters are set to protest Wednesday morning at Mondelez International's annual shareholders meeting in Lincolnshire. The workers are targeting the company over its decision to lay off 600 Chicago Nabisco bakery employees as it moves some production work to Mexico.
The Illinois Senate passed a bill Thursday that would send an additional $454 million to the state's struggling colleges, which are cash-strapped due to the ongoing budget impasse.
As the state budget impasse enters its eleventh month, Progress Illinois examines how mental health services and providers have been impacted.
Chicago State University has laid off over 300 employees, or a third of the school's staff, as a direct result of the ongoing state budget impasse.
The AFL-CIO has announced its endorsement of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union's boycott of Mexican-made Nabisco products as a result of the company's decision to move hundreds of Illinois U.S. jobs to a plant in Mexico.
The Will County Health Department has had to suspend nine programs as a direct result of the budget impasse, a move expected to impact over 52,000 clients.

Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez are both prepared to face each other on November 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events, Las Vegas for the Middleweight Championship.
Recently, Canelo's hand speed videos are released all over the internet. The video shows how much Canelo is ready to square off Cotto inside the ring. He has improved his hand speed undoubtedly. More so, this just keeps the excitement even better. Fans across the globe are expecting to witness action-packed match up between the two. For several months of training, Canelo is evidently equipped with strength, endurance and power to show an improvement of his past performances.

Now the Mexico-Puerto Rico rivalry is up again for an ultimate battle. These nations are definitely proud of both Cotto and Canelo in bringing honor to each hometown. With a few days left before the bout, the two continue to believe in oneself to claim the victory. Make sure to secure Cotto vs Canelo tickets before it will be sold out.

I still need to read Ruined! I had an ARC of it, but traded it for an ARC that I needed in a series. I do like the Selection, so a comparison like that works for me.
