Arrest Made in Bizarre Middletown Stabbing Incident
A Middletown man faces attempted murder charges and weapons offenses after stabbing a female shopper inside Bed Bath and Beyond store multiple times in the back Thursday.
According to the Star Ledger, 19-year-old Tyrik Haynes didn't know the 29-year-old Keansburg woman who was with a small child at the time of the early evening attack.
The victim was airlifted to the Jersey Shore University Medical center and is listed in critical but stable condition.
Haynes is in the Monmouth County Jail on $1-million dollars bail.

They are available in the online shop only in 16+4 or 18+4 ... in my opinion that sucks a little bit.DirkGently wrote:Yep. they are extensions because the Hadlow Pro has the weird 6 line split bridle thing. You can hang a 2nd set of extensions that attach to the front of the LE from the split point.
So the overall is 22m.
'would be nice if they were available in 22+2m or something like that for those people who don't use the Hadlow Pros.
imho 22-23m line-lenght is perfect for unhooked riding.
Still these split 18+4m lines make the kite far more direct than normal standard 22m dyneema lines.

Dana and Ray Brandon
Ray's Take: As if college tuition – and books – weren't expensive enough, there's also the cost of housing for your college student. Unlike the other two, however, this is one area where you can possibly have a little control over how much money is spent.
Many colleges offer various dorm options these days. The old complaints about lack of privacy and shared bathrooms aren't necessarily valid – depending on how much you're willing to pay. Dorms still provide less privacy and more distractions, however. That's why some students opt to switch to housing off campus – and position it as a money saver.
When that happens, sit down with your student and do the math together. It isn't just the cost of an apartment versus a dorm room, there are a lot of other factors to consider as well.
Campus housing usually includes utilities, high-speed Internet, cleaning services, basic furnishings, the option of a meal plan that offers a balanced diet, a built-in support system through resident assistants, and eliminates the need for transportation to and from campus. These are all expenses that will add to the cost of off-campus living. Plus, the student will have to do all his own cooking and cleaning. Is it ultimately worth it?
Some parents think they can largely offset college housing costs by buying a condo or house and then selling it when their child is through school. If they're really lucky, this might work out. However, when you consider the short duration of ownership, wear-and-tear, and associated costs like taxes, insurance and local oversight, the odds are against them.
Do the math, and think through the social and college-experience aspects, too. There is no one right option, but there is a better one for your child.
Dana's Take: Imagine a student having to get to an 8 a.m. class in 30-degree weather. As hard as it is for a student to get him or herself up in the morning at all, it is important to remove as many obstacles to class attendance as possible.
Students living off-campus may have to drive to campus, park on the outskirts of campus, and then walk to class.
University housing is nearly always a short walk to class, thus improving the odds of the student arriving to class to learn.
Might the parent or student save money by renting off-campus housing? Yes. The risk is that the off-campus student may miss more classes, resulting in a lower overall return on the education investment.
No one knows your college student better than you. If your child craves independent housing, make sure he or she has the tools and discipline to make it work financially, socially and academically. Otherwise the costs could be severe.

The Flying Dutchmen have all kinds of extra reasons to be excited for the 2009 season.
At some point in their season, coach Steve Smith's Flying Dutchmen will begin playing in the new $4 million Van Andel Soccer Stadium which is destined to become one of Division III's premier pitches. The stadium will feature seating for 1,500 fans who will watch games played on artificial turf. The stadium is equipped with lights for night games and amenities such as lockerrooms for Hope's teams, a pressbox and concession stand. The official stadium dedication is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 17.
As a prelude to the season, the Flying Dutchmen travelled to Ireland the first week in August for training, competition and service. It is the fourth European trip for the Flying Dutchmen. In 2005 the team came back to win the championship of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
The Flying Dutchman had a banner season in 2008, posting an overall 14-2-4 record, but had to settle for second place in the MIAA. Through eight seasons of the new millennium the Flying Dutchmen have won more than 80% of their games (131-36-12) with four conference championships and four appearances in the NCAA Division III playoffs.
Coach Smith begins his 20th season at helm of the men's soccer program. He ranks among the winningest NCAA Division III coaches with a career record of 265-6-28.
The pre-season roster includes 19 returning letterwinners. Senior co-captains of the team are Chris Harrison of Plymouth, Minn. (Wayzata HS), John Herbert of Culver, Ind. (Culver Academies), Ausable Schwiebert of Chelsea (Chelsea HS), and John Turner of East Kentwood (East Kentwood HS).
Three returning midfielders received All-MIAA honors in 2008. Schwiebert was a first team honoree while Harrison and senior Kevin Bartosek of Traverse City (Traverse City West HS) were named to the second team.
Other returning letterwinners include sophomore Andrew Abe of Naperville, Ill. (Naperville North HS), sophomore Paul Austin of Grandville (Grandville HS), senior Justin Bailey of Portage (Portage Northern HS), junior Ross Bailey of Ogden Dunes, Ind. (Portage HS), junior Riley Byrnes of Michigan City, Ind. (Michigan City HS), junior Ryan Cotter of Zeeland (Zeeland East HS), senior Gabe Courey of Holland (Holland HS), junior Andrew Goorhouse of Caledonia (East Kentwood HS), sophomore Shaun Groetsema of Augusta (Galesburg-Augusta HS), sophomore Mitch Kinner of Kalamazoo (Portage Northern HS), junior Andrew Nichols of Traverse City (Traverse City West HS), senior Ben Rosema of Spring Lake (Spring Lake HS), junior Jeffrey Stusick of Stevensville (Lakeshore HS), and junior Aaron Van Andel of Ada (Grand Rapids Christian HS).

"Klondike" a bold trek into drama by Discovery
Welcome, Discovery Channel, to the expanding world of good scripted drama on cable TV. "Klondike" is a bold first step.
Whether encountering the forces of nature, avalanche to white water, or the greed of fellow humans, the trek into the Klondike during the gold rush years held great adventure and great human drama. Discovery Channel has previously struck a rich vein in reality TV's version of that adventure. Now, the network moves boldly into scripted drama with "Klondike," a beautifully shot and well acted miniseries airing in six hours over three consecutive nights beginning Jan. 20.
The top-notch cast is headed by Richard Madden (Robb Stark on "Game of Thrones"), with Abbie Cornish ("RoboCop"), Tim Roth ("Lie to Me," "Pulp Fiction") and Sam Shepard ("August: Osage County").
From executive producer Ridley Scott and based on Charlotte Gray's book "Gold Diggers: Striking It Rich in the Klondike," it's equal parts man vs. nature, a coming of age tale and an exploration of the human spirit– aiming to be a sort of "Deadwood" of the Yukon in the lawless boom town of Dawson City. Real life figures including Jack London and Soapy Smith make appearances. (So does Colorado Springs circa 1897, although the film was shot in Alberta, Canada, with help from the Canadian government.)
Tremendous footage of mountain treks and river running make the spectacle compelling while the sometimes clunky dialog gets the message across. The young adventurers have "nothin' in our pockets, but our head full of hope." Soon they'll learn that, in the Yukon of 1897, "You're either gettin' or you're gettin' got."

VIDEO: Stephen Curry and Anthony Davis talk about the upcoming FIBA World Cup
GRANADA, SPAIN — The FIBA Basketball World Cup is the best hoops you can get outside of the NBA season. Yes, it's better than the Olympics.
There are twice as many teams, allowing for more depth from Europe and the Americas. And there's an extra round of single-elimination, tournament play, giving us 15 win-or-go-home games once pool play is completed.
No, the NBA's top two players aren't here. But there are 46 guys currently on NBA rosters, a high for any international tournament. And because Kevin Durant and LeBron James aren't representing the United States, and because there is so much depth among the second tier of teams, the competition for medals will be captivating.
Along with the U.S., Spain is the co-favorite. As the hosts they will enjoy a home-court advantage, which helped propel Turkey to the final game four years ago. But they also have a ton of talent and experience, both in the NBA and in making the U.S. sweat for a gold medal. The reason U.S. has four centers on its roster is because Spain has Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol and Serge Ibaka.
Beyond the top two, the competition to reach the semifinals could be wide open. Pool play will help sort things out somewhat, but as many as 10 other teams could have dreams of making the semifinals and playing for a medal.
Most of those teams will be on Spain's half of the 16-team bracket after pool play is completed. In Group A play in Granada, the hosts will face Brazil, with its three NBA big men and terrific point guard, France, the 2013 European champion with five NBA players on is roster, and Serbia, who knocked out Spain in the quarterfinals of this tournament four years ago.
When pool play is completed, the top four teams from Group A (Granada) will match up with the top four from Group B (Sevilla) on the Madrid side of the bracket. Group B features Argentina, Croatia, Greece and Puerto Rico.
The U.S. has an easier path to the final. In Group C pool play in Bilbao, its toughest opponent will likely be Turkey, which has fallen hard since the 2010 World Cup, or the Dominican Republic, which the Americans blew out in New York last week.
Group D (Gran Canaria) features two tougher teams – Australia and Lithuania – which the U.S. will likely face on the Barcelona side of the bracket.
The USA's history in this event (formerly called the World Championship) is not great. Prior to 2010, it had only won 1954, 1986 and 1994. Yugoslavia, which continued to exist as a basketball team after it dissolved as a nation, won five World Championships.
But Mike Krzyzewski has compiled a 43-1 record and a 36-game winning streak in his nine-year tenure as the USA head coach. He won this tournament four years ago with a roster of 12 guys who had never played a senior-level international game. And the world has yet to experience the defensive of new assistant Tom Thibodeau first hand.
The U.S. won its four exhibition games by an average of 29 points, but could still use improvement, especially on offense. Pool play, beginning with Saturday's game against Finland (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) will allow them to work some things out, but it's doubtful that anything can prepare them for a potential gold-medal game against Spain in Madrid.
Before we can think about that, there is a ton of high-quality basketball to be played and plenty of reasons to watch.
There are key players on NBA contenders — Derrick Rose and Anderson Varejao — looking to get back into basketball shape after injury-riddled seasons.
There is the last stand of Argentina's golden generation and their beautiful brand of basketball, represented by Andres Nocioni, Pablo Prigioni and Luis Scola.
There's the continued growth of Greece's Giannis Antetokounmpo, Senegal's Gorgui Dieng, and Lithuania's Jonas Valanciunas
There are six incoming rookies, including Australia's Dante Exum (Jazz), Greece's Kostas Papanikolaou (Rockets) and the Croatian pair of Bojan Bogdanovic (Nets) and Damjan Rudez (Pacers), to watch and figure out how they might contribute to their new teams.
There are 2014 draftees like Croatia's Dario Saric (Sixers) and Serbia's Bogdan Bogdanovic (Suns), who might eventually be NBA contributors. And there are a few potential prospects, like the Ukraine's Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (who will play at Kansas next season), to keep an eye out for.
There's the curiosity of how veteran Euroleague floor generals like Marcelo Huertas (Brazil) and Milos Teodosic (Serbia) would fit in the NBA.
There's the Dragic brothers racing up the floor at every opportunity for Slovenia. There's Andray Blatche playing point-center for the Philippines. And there's the flair of real point guards like Carlos Arroyo and Ricky Rubio.
Seventy-six games over 17 days. If you can't wait the upcoming NBA season, with Kevin Love joining LeBron in Cleveland, the Spurs trying for their first repeat, and Rose back in a Bulls uniform, the FIBA World Cup should hold you off for a while.

Protect our communities and our climate from methane disasters
One of the country's largest natural gas storage facilities, located just outside Los Angeles, is sending 110,000 pounds of climate-disrupting methane into the air every hour.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is finalizing rules to limit methane emissions from new oil and gas facilities. But the current proposal does nothing to prevent future disasters from existing oil and gas facilities.
Tell President Obama and the EPA to take stronger action to protect our climate and communities from methane pollution.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The Golden Eagles went to Southeast Missouri and gave a good showing, but it was the Redhawks that came out on top as they took the 3-1 victory.
After a rough opening set that went the way of SEMO 25-18, the Golden Eagles found new life in the second set. The second frame featured three lead changes as both teams were tied at 18 late in the set. The Redhawks were finally able to hold the Golden Eagles off as they finished the set on a 7-2 run to take the second set 25-20.
After their good showing in the second set, TTU came into the third set with new life as they opened the set with an 8-2 lead. The Golden Eagles would eventually build a nine-point lead at 19-10, and they would not look back at they took the set 25-20.
The Redhawks, not wanting to go to a deciding fifth set opened the fourth set with a quick 10-3 as they eventually took the set 25-12, and the match.
Freshman Ellen Conti led the Golden Eagle offense with 13 kills, with junior Kelsey Gray following with eight. Allison May tallied a match-high 25 digs, while junior Madison Comperry added 19 assists.
TTU (1-13, 0-3 OVC) returns home Friday, for a 7 p.m. match, against Tennessee State.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will investigate differences among people with focal dystonia (FD), complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and people who have both conditions to learn more about the cause of both disorders.
Participants undergo the following procedures in five visits:
- Electroencephalography (EEG). Electrodes (metal discs) are placed on the scalp with an electrode cap, a paste or a glue-like substance. The spaces between the electrodes and the scalp are filled with a gel that conducts electrical activity. Brain waves are recorded while the subject lies quietly and sensory stimulation is applied to the thumb or finger.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This test uses a magnetic field and radio waves to obtain images of body tissues and organs. The patient lies on a table that can slide in and out of the scanner, wearing earplugs to muffle loud knocking and thumping sounds that occur during the scanning process. The procedure lasts about 45 minutes, during which time the patient will be asked to lie still for up to 15 minutes at a time.
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). An insulated wire coil is placed on the scalp and a brief electrical current is passed through the coil. The current induces a magnetic field that stimulates the brain. There may be a pulling sensation on the skin under the coil and a twitch in muscles of the face, arm or leg. During the stimulation, subjects may be asked to keep their hands relaxed or to contract certain muscles.
- Peripheral electrical stimulation. In two experiments, TMS is combined with peripheral electrical stimulation, similar to what is used in nerve conduction studies, to the median nerve at the wrist. There may be muscle twitching.
- Surface electromyography. For TMS tests and peripheral electrical stimulation, electrodes are filled with a conductive gel and taped to the skin to record the electrical activity of three muscles on the right hand.
- Needle EMG. A needle is inserted into a muscle to record the electrical activity.
- Nerve conduction studies. A probe is placed on the skin to deliver a small electrical stimulus, and wires are taped to the skin record the nerve impulses. These studies measure the speed with which nerves conduct electrical impulses and the strength of the connection between the nerve and the muscles.
- Skin biopsy. Two sites are biopsied. A local anesthetic is given to numb the area and a 1/4-inch piece of skin is removed with a special tool.
- JVP domes. Subjects are tested for their ability to discriminate sensory stimuli in the affected region and on the other side of it. They are asked to discriminate between stamps with grooves of different widths that are applied to the hands or feet.
|Condition or disease
|Focal Dystonia Peripheral Nervous System Disease
Dystonia is generally regarded as a motor execution abnormality due to a central nervous system dysfunction in the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical motor loop. Regional traumas are considered to be risk factors for the development of focal dystonia (FD) in the affected limb. Since focal limb traumas are also associated with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), there may be a common underlying pathology in both conditions. In CRPS, many patients have a small fiber neuropathy. The goal of the proposed research is to distinguish (discriminate) among the three disease categories (FD, FD+CRPS, CRPS), to find out whether FD and CRPS share a common physiological substrate and represent two sides of a spectrum, and to see which clinical situations may be secondary to an underlying small fiber neuropathy. Independent studies will be conducted in patients with affected upper limbs and in those with affected lower limbs.
We intend to perform two studies on overall 90 subjects. One study will assess the affected upper limb in 15 patients with unilateral focal dystonia, 15 patients with CRPS and 15 patients with focal dystonia and CRPS, while the second study will test the affected lower limb in 15 patients with unilateral focal dystonia, 15 patients with CRPS and 15 patients with focal dystonia and CRPS in the lower limb.
We propose to explore the central aspects (somatosensory evoked potentials, SEPS, and transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS) in patients with upper limb disorders, because the cortical representation of hand muscles is easier to study than the lower limb muscle representations. In contrast, the peripheral studies (quantitative EMG and nerve conduction) will be performed in patients with lower limb disorders, due to length, accessibility and separation of pure motor and sensory nerves in the leg.
The primary outcome measure for the central nervous system features (the upper limb assessment) will be the difference in EEG dipole localization of the SEPs from thumb and index finger between the three groups to assess possible disturbances of cortical representation in the primary sensory cortex. TMS measures will be exploratory.
The primary outcome measure of the lower limb testing will be the duration of motor unit action potentials (MUAP) to assess differences and subtle lesions, which were not picked up in clinical routine due to bigger confidence intervals of the single parameter.
The unaffected side is the primary target of this study since we are looking for an underlying substrate; however, all clinical tests will be performed bilaterally (if tolerated by the subjects) and the comparison of both sides will be a secondary outcome measure.

We have had several questions about the future of feed costs and meat production so we thought would share this article from Dr. Lee Meyer, University of Kentucky College of Agriculture.
With the recent cold and snowy weather, it is time to discuss protecting landscapes from unintentional harm. If you like to put salt and deicer on your sidewalks, drives, and steps, you must take care not to damage valuable landscape plants. Generally, physical removal of ice and snow is better for the landscape as long as you don't pile it on your plants. However, many people aren't physically able to shovel snow and ice. In this case, chemicals are needed to keep walkways safe.

The Eagles laid a beating on the Bears on Sunday night, continuing a finishing kick that has left them with a chance to win the NFC East by beating the Cowboys next weekend in Dallas.
Philly's first meeting with the Cowboys was one of the low points of their season as they mustered just three points in a floundering offensive performance. Running back LeSean McCoy had 55 yards on 18 carries in that contest and said after Sunday's win that the Cowboys didn't see the best that the Eagles had to offer the last time around. He promises it will be different this time because the Eagles are different this time.
"Just the confidence level is out of this world," McCoy said, via CSNPhilly.com. "We feel like every play is going to work, every play is going to be effective. There's always this feeling like, 'We can't lose.'"
The Eagles certainly couldn't lose with the way they played against the Bears last Sunday night. Anything similar next Sunday night and there will be another home game for the Eagles in January.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on Wednesday, April 10, will meet at Mary Hogan Elementary School to decide a proposed 2013-2014 spending plan of $6,418,788, representing a 4.46-percent increase. The budget reflects, among other things, a growing commitment to science, technology, engineering and math programs.
But thanks in part to a student enrollment that's expected to grow by 10 next fall (to a total of around 405), the property tax-affecting portion of the budget is expected to rise by only 0.82 percent, according to school administrators.

The Government Printing Office on Monday released its quadrennial "United States Policy and Supporting Positions" directory, colloquially known as the "Plum Book."
The book provides a guide to the more than 8,000 federal civil service leadership and support positions available in the executive and legislative branches. In a 21st century upgrade to the 60-year-old tradition, GPO announced that the directory would be available as a searchable Web app, alongside a digital version on the agency's website. The print version has been available in GPO's store since Monday morning at 10 a.m., and sells for $38.
"This publication is a great example of how GPO serves as the official link between the government and its citizens by making information available in official, digital and secure formats," acting Public Printer Davita Vance-Cooks said in a statement.
The Plum Book contains details on positions by agency, pay grade, tenure and appointment type, and more. Major categories of positions listed include those in the Executive Schedule, Senior Executive Service, Senior Foreign Service, Schedule C posts, and other positions at the General Schedule 14 level or above that are exempt from the competitive civil service.The book is alternatively published by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee after each presidential election.

P.S. The projects are:
1. Flowers in the snow blanket
2. Some chunky alpaca wristwarmers
3. My first attempt at my own design for long 4ply wristwarmers (which are taking ages hence the speedy ones at no. 2)
4. Ishbel
Yes! You have wooly-itis and I do believe it may be highly contagious as I seem to have caught it just by looking at all of your gorgeous UFO's.
Mam's are lovely aren't they... mine is too :0)
You'll have to keep on a-clicking and get some of those projects finished - you and Dottie can have a knitter-natter hehe x
Wooly-itis... once upon a time I had it... and now I have quilti-itis. You could wonder what's worse.. !
Lovely flowers from your Mom!
Lovely flowerage Missus Locket. I am in envy of your Startitis. I just keep buying the yarn and doing nothing with it!
Hmmm fresh flowers lovely. Is there a special occasion why both mums are getting you flowers?
Wool is just as dangerous as fabric for screaming buy-me-now-you-know-you-want-to. But as trash says, at least you have started stuff rather than looking pretty in a box under the bed!
I think you might need to join Marees WIP project finish thingy :-)
i think its that time of the year - starting to feel coldm so get more wool!!!!
Lucy, its a dreadful disease...perhaps you ned to buy more fabric?
I used to have that problem with woolly things and I never goy the complimentary disease finishitis. You could always roatate them daily so you'll never get fed up.
I'm not sure which is worse, startitis or second sock syndrome. Sounds like you need to see a specialist...
Yip, i have that illness too :) xxx
Keep in mind, this will pass, or at least subside for a while. Keep sharing, your pics are lovely!
You're all set for a cozy winter. Looks good! (and who said your socks have to match anyway?)
Must be something in the air - startitis has been rife round here too........mind you, I seem to spend more time thinking about what I could knit/crochet/sew than actually doing it!
Oh dear, poor you. At least I know the name of my virus now. I think the cure is out there but I haven't found it yet. Maybe it's lurking in the deepest wildest parts of Wales.
Hmmm. Methinks if the mother's have given you flowers, I have missed your birthday. Yes??? Sorry about the startitis -- I hope you're comforted in the fact that you're not alone. Your projects are beautiful!
Oh I'm glad there's a name for it. I know I've had a touch of Startitis myself. Perhaps there's a self-help group for it, Startaholics Anonymous? If not maybe we should start one, and give each other regular pep talks about finishing, or moving on ;)
Oh Startitis is such a serious condition. I know it well! I have suffered from it all my life, or so it seems. I bow down to your greatness with Ishbel - she's looking beautiful, gorgeous colour. Love the new sock yarn, I've got some Regia lurking in one of the stash-bags somewhere, perhaps I ought to dig it out and start a new sock. I need a new project. Haven't started one for a few days...
Oh . . . you must seek therapy . . . the longer you leave it the worst it gets . . . just look what happened to me . . . .
Different life, different city, same me -
After a long summer hiatus I am back and blogging. Expect more wacky face painting, luminously iced cakes and general slightlynoodles-ness!
Please drop by for a spot of tea,
Yours truly,
Slightlynoodles Esq.
PS: Cath Kidston rocks my world. I sympathise completely.
yum, and I hear that alpaca is just dreamy to work with.
Lucy I have a similar affliction. We just got new carpet and I had to clean out my walk in robe. I have bags of wool but nothing started. I have no idea what I was going to make with all this wool. At least you are starting things.
Oh no - I think I must have caught woolly startitis too. I blame it on the cold, wet and windy weather - it makes you want to curl up and hibernate in a cosy chair in a little next of yarn! Have fun with all of your projects!
Lovely lovely flowers. Wish you could visit my garden at the moment as I have flowers in abundance. Good luck with all those projects.
Lucy Locket, where are you? Really missing your posts here! Just reading your blog is a wonderful treat for me and I've been missing you especially during the last week when i had a bad wisdom tooth episode and could really use something to cheer me up. Hope you write soon!
LOVE the flowers, and all that wool is making me feel hot over here in OZ
Not as many projects as I've got on the go...........you'll get through them eventually! Fran
You need to contract a bit of finishitis to counteract that startitis! I have to say though, that all your starty bits are rather lovely. Nice fleurs too. x
Mrs. Locket Darling ... I'm just a wee bit worried about you. I hope everything is going well for you and all the sweet little Lockets!
Hi Lucy - I just wanted to say Happy New Year to you and your lovely family. I hope you all have a wonderful 2011. :) x

I recently (about 2 weeks ago) installed Xubuntu 6.10 on an old (PIII-600) Fujitsu Lifebook and today, suddenly the panel (I had only one panel, at the bottom, that holds all the relevant stuff) had disappeared after login (without me having done anything special that could have caused this).
Since I had also switched the right-click desktop menu (to the simplified version where you can create new files, folders or starters), I couldn't do anything, not even logout. Only after I created a destop starter for Terminal, I could at least shutdown. I don't know yet how to use the terminal for much more than "sudo shutdown -h now".
Not having much Linux knowledge myself, I don't know how to go on, and if that's a bug that occurs every once in a while, it's actually unacceptable because I wanted to give a Linux laptop to someone who doesn't know much about computers in general and absolutely nothing about Linux in particular.
Any pointers what could have caused this, if it's a common problem, what to do against it and how to avoid it in the future?
BTW: Does anyone know how to update XFCE, Xorg and Thunar in Xubuntu to the latest versions? Esp. the latter is pretty buggy in Xubuntu. (Please note: I don't know how to compile anything.)
EDIT: Firefox also gives me trouble, because when I double-click the my desktop launcher for it, it seems to start, but it doesn't come up visibly. If I then try to start it from the terminal, a message box comes up and tells me that it's already running and that process has to be terminated (or something) first (I can't because I can't even see it). Thunderbird, however, launches fine from the desktop starter icon, as do Thunar and Gimp from the terminal.
P.S.: I write this from IE in Windows, booted from the Windows partition, because I don't have another choice.
I think the panel problem was traced to network connectivity. I believe it's being looked at for the next release.
If you get stuck again, press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you should get a tty (big terminal) that you can log into and issue commands from.
Simon. (^_^)
TIP: Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
SimonJ., thanks, but after reading another post on the forum I already managed to start xfce4-panel from the terminal, log out (actually: shutdown) and back in and then the panel stayed there.
(After a forum search, I had already tried "xfce-panel" before, but had forgot the "4".)
What's weird, is that this time Firefox started invisibly when launched from the terminal, but was okay when started by the desktop launcher. Just the other way round, compared to last time.
Honestly, I'm getting tired of my foray into Linux land. Everything I tried (more than half a dozen distros in less than 3 weeks) was either bloated (KDE, Gnome), buggy like hell (just about everything), or locked down beyond usability (everything non-*buntu).
If you're looking for light and stable I would suggest you try IceWM.
I was using this before XFCE was even started so it's been a round a while.
XFCE is prettier and more complete but every now and then something doesn't work properly. You can either accept that and work it out, or move away for a while.
If you go IceWm , you'll need something like Rox to work with it.
Simon. (^_^)
TIP: Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
I had the IceWM/Rox combo on another laptop before, but somehow I can't get used to Rox which I find plain weird.
And I want a "real" desktop (like in Windows or Mac), where I can put files and folders (and not only desktop starters, like in Rox).
I waited to give XFCE another try until they added exactly that. Now I can't see anything lighter that gives me the possibility to drag'n'drop files and folders to the desktop.
I have had a panel for a while now without any problems.
I added a trash applet to one panel and lost all the others as well.
After the last time I keep a backup and I just removed the ~/.config/xfce4/panel/ and replaced it with the backup.
So far I have not had time to play with the trash applet but that certainly is the only change I made.
Simon. (^_^)

Miami Brickell Real Estate
Condos For Sale in Flagami Florida
The media portrays Miami Brickell Real Estate investing as something that is very easy to do. We have all seen those books and televisions shows on how to invest in real estate in Flagami to become a millionaire. However, there are a couple of common mistakes that you need to watch out for. The following are a few of them.
1. Thoroughly understand your loan.
Before you select your loan be sure to check to see if there are points or hidden fees so that you don't end up with any surprises. Check the rate since it can change from when you had your initial discussions with your bank and the day that the loan was locked. Also be sure that you understand what the differences are between an adjustable rate loan and a fixed rate one. These days, interest rates are at the lowest level they have been in many years, however by the end of 2017 we are anticipating a sudden increase.
2. Be Object About A REIT
A REIT (real estate investment fund) is quite attractive since it offers very generous dividends. However, you need to be aware of what the face value is in addition to the dividends, since they can decrease in value just like any other type of investment can. Whenever you purchase a REIT make sure you know exactly what you are purchasing.
Condo Real Estate Agent in Flagami
3. Brick And Mortar Investing
It can be easier to invest in the stock market than it is to invest in real estate in Flagami. You can purchase a stock online with just a few clicks. Real estate investing is totally different, You need to know all of the ins and outs of the real estate market and understand that what you are investing in is not liquid. You can't sell your house with just a couple of clicks the way you can sell stock. It isn't as dynamic, each purchase is different and there are different steps that need to be followed.
4. Flipping Condos In Flagami Florida
There are tons of shows on television about flipping houses. They make it looks so fast and easy to purchase and resell houses. But is that how it really is in real life? Before you start to do it you really need to have a good understanding of how the real estate market works and have good purchasing power as well. For example, if you are going to purchase a house at an auction, you will have to pay for it in cash.
5. Additional Costs
When planning on your property's future, you should over estimate your expenses. Thank about all of the costs that relate to commissions, insurance, repairs and rental management. You don't want to get into a position where you can't pay the mortgage after one month without having a tenant.

FLORENCE, Ala. – Having been edged by a goal each in two straight conference matches, the Georgia College women's soccer squad (3-8) delved into a mid-season non-conference match, attempting to halt a two-game losing streak. Unfortunately, the Bobcats could not right the ship Tuesday night at the University of North Alabama (9-2), falling 2-1.
A previous NSCAA Top 25 team reaching as high as No. 18 this season, North Alabama proved to be too much offensively for the Bobcats. GC was recorded as out shot 29-1, including 10-1 in shots on goal.
The Lions quickly struck first in the match. In the first forty-five seconds, UNA junior forward Chloe Roberts drove the field and netted her eighth goal of the campaign.
Playing a goal down for much of the first frame, the Bobcats were able to gain a neutralizer towards the end of the first half. Freshman forward Erin Griffin (Lawrenceville, Ga.) made good on the first shot of her college career, while classmate Ashley Veilleux (Monroe, Ga.) was credited with the assist, her second of the year. Both teams would head into intermission even at 1-1.
In the second half, the offensive attack continued for the Lions; within the first 10 minutes of the frame, the Lions again tallied a goal. North Alabama senior midfielder Hollie Loud punched in the second of her season in the 54th minute and the Bobcats would fail to answer.
The freshman goalkeeper pairing of Annie Stephens (Fayetteville, Ga.) and Taylor Cornelius (Dacula, Ga.) split the match, with Stephens making four first-half saves in five tries, and Cornelius matching the tally in the second. Alex McClay went the distance in the win, making no saves.
This game marked the third time this year the Bobcats have played either a current or previous nationally-ranked opponent. Additionally, the Bobcats have five games remaining against teams that were or are ranked in the NSCAA Top-25.
Georgia College returns to Peach Belt Conference (PBC) play Saturday, Oct. 8 at 3 p.m. taking on Columbus State University at home.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute spports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

text: I am running 3 am running 3 web/db servers. I originally setup master master replication so that all my webservers could use localhost as this was speeding up the sites considerably. The problem was I was getting mysql errors from some of the table and I had to setup the replication from scratch again and again which is not ideal. I also noticed that the mysql database wasn't replicating properly itself. This was a real pain when adding user. It meant I had to add the user manually to all the servers I tried mysql-proxy using read/write splitting which would run fine for a short time but once an error occurred the system would crash and have to be restarted manually. I'm wondering what the most reliable system is to keep my 3 databases synchronized? Many thanks in advance for your help

Essential People
Skills for a Laboratory
While managers in any setting and environment are expected to
have a competent level of people skills, those working in
laboratory settings need a much more refined sense of
communication. Laboratory environments often lead to group
work, so managers need to control and maintain working order
and productivity while encouraging personal development.
Willingness to Listen
While laboratory managers should be able to handle on-the-spot
decisions and quick resolutions, knowing when to listen to
others can also be a big asset. This is because experts working
at a lab are more likely in charge of very different structures
and research, and collaboration is key to help things run
smoothly and make the process become a cohesive unit. Being
able to listen to what employees are saying is also key to
maintaining a well-motivated staff that can work independently
while following directions. Finally, willingness to listen can
help bring conflicts to the surface so they can be assessed and
hopefully resolved.
Ability to Orient People
A laboratory manager needs to act as a leader and be able to
make decisions regarding practical procedures and operation
standards that may not be popular or even understood by the
staff. At the same time, he should be able to help employees
understand their strengths and weaknesses, so they're able to
deal with issues as they arise during the day-to-day inner
workings of the lab. A good manager also understands that
growth and continuing education are essential to keeping the
staff focused, which is why he encourages workers to keep
abreast of technological and scientific developments by
subscribing to pertinent publications or attending lectures or
Ability to Communicate Properly
A good lab manager needs to clearly communicate directions and
guidelines. She should be able to plan, set and evaluate goals
and objectives and make sure that all workers understand their
place in the scheme. When one worker is not meeting his
expected quality assurance initiatives or when overall goals
are not being achieved, a manager should speak up assertively
about what needs to be changed and then propose solutions on
how that can be achieved. Asking for feedback and being willing
to listen are also part of good communication and may be the
key to things running more smoothly. Because of the complexity
of tests and the risk for mistakes when monitoring programs and
verifying accuracy of compound research, managers are expected
to be highly qualified and able to educate workers using
simplified vocabulary.
Imperative skills for today's lab manager

Sushi Nail Art Goes Viral in Japan
The latest trend in Japan might make you want to bite your nails.
Tweets of manicures and nail art designed like a variety of sushi items have gained popularity on Japanese social media, with some posts being retweeted over 10,000 times in a few days.
Some of the original sushi nail photos appear to have been circulating in the Twittersphere for a few months, but the latest images posted by one user feature tuna on the thumb, shrimp on the index finger, salmon roe on the middle finger, salmon on the ring finger and egg roll on the pinky.
The combination of Japan's traditional cuisine with nail art is the latest example of the country's interest on everything "kawaii" or "cute," an area Japan Real Time has been visiting over the years.
Some of the sushi nails posted online are more three-dimensional, with examples including octopus, squid and sea urchin. Here are some photos featuring some of the best tasty sushi nails:

Ideally, you'll get the most for your money buying from a private seller. The best case scenario is buying from the original owner (and they have maintenance records)! Depending on the laws of your state, you may or may not pay sales tax if you buy from an individual (we don't here in Georgia).
Before buying from a dealer or indivdiual, I highly recommend having the car checked out by an independent mechanic!!! It's well worth the $50-$75 they'll charge you to avoid buying something that needs major repairs!2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT0
imidazol97 Crossroads of America I70 & I75 Posts: 23,199My value system hasn't come up here. I think a large car is ideal for the new driver.
I'd suggest a brief talk with your insurance agent, or in my case with his aide who is an agent herself training to take his spot when he retires. Get him through the first 6 months and 1 year without an accident.
I suggest a used Crown Victoria, Gran Marquis, Chryslery product that's full-size and not chic, or an older Olds 88, leSabre, etc. I'd include the older Malibu/Lumina, Taurus, and so on with some miles left. Low cost insurance--almost a throwaway if it does get wrecked.
The older car has something of a culture to it. The other kids don't encourage carelessness with it leading to the showing off in the sporty, loud-mufflered, flashy colored cars. Then he/she can get a different car after a year. I noticed a few non-chic cars seeming to be traded down to newer drivers at the school my son attended.
Before someone says my values aren't workable, my now 17 year-old had a 10 year old leSabre. Didn't hurt his ego a bit. Band practice during summer. School parking lot for rest of year. Now we picked up a newer smaller economy GM car that he can use along with the leSabre (a two car high schooler) and I can use the newer car (2008) when I have some longer drives).
I had kept the leSabre with this in mind. But I'd be shopping the for sale signs and local store post it boards for a similar 10-year old with 100K and more on it for that first car for $3000 and less. The older GM cars of that period are actually in demand at the low end of the buying price range for adults wanting cars with life left in them.

newtoused Posts: 2Hi!
I'm new to this forum and purchasing used cars. I've been looking at 2004 Audi A4 & TT's, 2004-5 BMW 3 series coupes and convertibles. All seem to be in the price range but only have miles around 70K-80K.
Is it worth buying a used car with that many miles whether a "luxury" car or not?
If not, I'm also thinking buying a 06-07 VW jetta that's "pre-loved" or certified. I'm worried about the lack of a warranty on the older models I mentioned. I'd rather have peace of mind with the car rather than luxury (i think - convertibles are pretty appealing).
Are Certified pre-owned worth the extra costs? Or is buying un-certified used, getting it checked out and relying on it's good condition and AAA enough?
volvomax Posts: 5,274CPO is definitely worth the money. However, you can't compare a car thats a couple years old with an older high mile car.
Everyone will tell you that old high mile European cars are expensive to keep up and they are correct. Not only repairs but maintenance as well. If the thought of keeping up an older car is too daunting,stick with the newer CPO car.0
IMO, A luxury vehicle has to be nice inside, at least somewhat refined, and most of all have a good engine/drive-train combination(which means rear wheel drive and not slow as a slug).
Here is my own personal short list given the same criteria and price range(though I also want manual, which is highly recommended but YMMV of course )
- First gen CTS with the 3.6 engine.
- 2004 GTO (almost 30mpg with manual and 350hp!) *added exception - not "luxury"*
- previous generation G35 sedan (ie not the G37)
If you add in automatics, the list grows by quite a bit. Top of my "automatic models" list would probably be the GS300 or a Buick Lucerne CXS(eerily like driving a late 90s S420, which for GM is/was a huge step forward)
The problem with the newer BMWs and most of the other luxury European brands is that they all source from Bosch and similar mostly German electrical companies. It's why a VW/Audi has a solid engine but the switches and radio and so on self-destruct at 7-10 years age almost every time. It used to be that these premium brands were really built better, but now it's all plastic and cheap underneath with a plush covering to hide the corners that were cut.
BMW and Audi are out. Mercedes is as well - too expensive to run used. Maintaining any of these three brands will cost nearly the same as a new vehicle would in monthly payments. Things get stupefyingly expensive for the most basic stuff. It makes even Toyota's overpriced insanity look reasonable. I know - I've had Mercedes in the past and it gets insane - like $60 for a shifter knob and upwards of $5K for a transmission rebuild. You really should only own these brands, even used, if you can afford them new. Or lease them and avoid the idiocy.0
I am trying to buy a used convertible under $8k. The ones I found in my range and liking are some 2003-2005 Eclipse with 50-70k miles and Sebring 2002-2005 50-70k miles. I put average amount of miles on my car( like 12k in 2 years). My ideal car would be a 2004-2005 model with 50-60k miles and around $6k and the car should last me atleast 6-7years without too much repairs. Additional features inside car and everything will be a plus.
Which convertible would you guys recommend for me and why? how do 2004-2005 Sebring, Mustang, Eclipse, etc hold up against each other? I tried to find a side by side comparision using google, but didnt find any.0
Not really my bailiwick... but the Sebring is a pretty miserable car. Beloved of rental fleets and not many others, and Chrysler FWD transmissions as a bonus.
Mitsubishis are fairly rare around here (MI), and the few people I know who had them were not pleased with parts availability and prices. You may wish to ask around; they may be a good value, depending on where you are.
If you're buying an older car with the intention of keeping it, I think the Mustang is a much better choice. Fairly simple technology, any mechanic will know what to do, great parts availability.
The question there is value... I don't know how Mustang convertibles depreciate; at any rate, you picked the right time of year ;->
Good luck,
your criteria really point to a POS, frankly. I mean, even an '03 V6 stang with 60k miles is going to cost you $8k at a minimum. Same goes for an '04 Eclipse.
An '04 sebring 4-cyl will run you more like $6500-$7k.
To get your ideal '04 w/60k for $6k ... yer gonna have to look for one that is beat to hell or has a bad history.
If you are driving 12k in 2 years, that is far below average, actually. At just 6k per year, I'd be looking for something a bit nicer, maybe with higher miles. For example, off the top of my head, you might find a '98 BMW 323 vert with 75k miles for $6k-$7k. After 4 years, you are still just under 100k on it. Same goes for a '98 C70. You could try to find a low mileage '00 mustang GT and probably pick it up for around $7k.
In any case, spending $6k on a convertible and asking it to give you 6 years of no-to-low upkeep cost is a TALL order!

Would a 2-seater work for you? If so, you can't go wrong with a Mazda Miata...as long as you're well under 6ft tall. =)
I just ran a search on AutoTrader for all convertibles within 100 miles of my Zip Code and I found several low mileage, very good condition examples of the following-
Toyota Solara Convertible
Volvo C70 Convertible
Saab 9-3 Convertible
Personally, I find the C70 to be most appealing and the Saab 9-3 comes in a close second. It's very ironic that the Swedes built two of the best convertibles of the last decade...I doubt they sell very many of them in Sweden (I hear it's kinda chilly).
Regardless of which model you choose, take it to a mechanic for a thorough inspection and be sure to pull a Carfax report for it. Convertibles are structurally weaker than the fixed-roof models they're based on. A good analogy is comparing a box with a lid, then without the lid and see how much easier it is to flex and twist it with the lid removed! For that reason, I would definitely avoid any convertible that has been wrecked before. The already weakened structure is almost impossible to fully and correctly repair. A good mechanic will be able to tell if it has been repaired and the Carfax will reassure you of the car's past. =)2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT0
Get a 1999 Celica GT Convertible. KBB retail/mint condition value is just a bit over $7K.
Done. Nothing will work better or cost less to keep running in your price range.0
I have found some 2004 eclipse with 65k miles for $8k and some sebring for $7k. Clean carfax and everything. I just wanted to buy a car with doesn't give too much problem. Some cars model just don't last very long. Hence the questions.0
Consumer Reports has Owner Satisfaction ratings, which are actually more useful than most any other test. The question owners are asked is "If you had it to do over, would you definitely purchase this same vehicle again"?
Here are the percentages that said YES-
Mazda Miata- 86%
Volvo C70- 70%
Chrysler Sebring- 51%
The median/average percentage for this class of car (convertibles) is 72%. The Sebring was by far the lowest rated with barely half of the owners saying they would buy it again....which implies 49% aren't happy campers.
The reason you find more late model Sebring convertibles at dirt cheap prices than any other model is because they depreciate worse than any other car on the road! On a brand new one, at 36 months it's only expected to be worth 28% of the original price and at 60 months, just 18%. In comparison, a Mustang convertible will be worth 57% at 36 months an 44% at 60 months. I truly pity anyone who a Sebring convertible new...can you imagine buying a car with a $28k sticker price and, just one year later, it's barely worth $10k!!! But very few individuals buy a Sebring convertible brand new, the overwhelming majority are sold to rental fleets. And I can almost guarantee that the used ones you're finding are former rental cars...
I still think your safest bet in terms of mechanical reliablity, reasonable maintenance and repair costs, decent fuel economy and driving dynamics (comfortable, easy to drive, plenty of power) is the Toyota Camry Solara Convertible. I found several within 300 miles of my zip code that are in perfect condition and being sold privately by their original owners! A one-owner private party sale is always the best way to go with any kind of vehicle. If you can locate one that you like and you either have cash or can arrange a loan thru your bank or credit union, you'll get the best and most car for your money...
I found a 2002 Solara SLE conv for $8200 from a private seller in VA. It's silver, has 85k miles and the leather interior looks like it belongs in a Lexus. Just do a search on AutoTrader.com and use zip code 23602 (that's where the car is located).
I also found an identical looking (silver with gray leather) 2001 SLE conv in Florida in pristine condition. It only has 68k miles and priced at $7900. Clean Carfax history, but not sure if it's the original owner, but it is private sale.2015.5 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Platinum, 2012 Mazda CX-9 GT0
As the above post states, just forget the Sebring. Put it out of your mind. It may or may not hold up mechanically for you, but it really falls apart elsewhere. If you are so inclined, go ahead and take a look at a used one or two. You'll find that they are worn out and beat up. I can't say why. Could be because they weren't treated well or, more likely, it is because the materials are subpar and just don't hold up.
I just went through this same search myself, but my limit was $6k. I did not find one Sebring that didn't look like it had been through a war. I couldn't locate a Mustang GT that fit the bill, nor a C70. Wound up with a '99 Saab 93 SE with 120k in very good condition for $4500.
You aren't getting much feedback on the Eclipse because most folks don't know anything about them. They are rather unpopular cars.

"...hold up against each other?..."
Sebring for the price because they depreciate quickly. Roomy for a convertible. Eclipse for reliability and not too bad performance. 2005 Mustang V-8 for performance and looks (forget the V-6) 2004 Mustangs and earlier were built on an obsolete 1970's frame and are less desirable.

The Solara is also a good choice if the Celica is too small.
Basically it's a Camry and a Corolla - Convertible. And as reliable as a normal Toyota. Oh, FYI - my last Toyota I finally sold a few weeks ago with 375K on it. And it still ran just fine. Anything else will just simply cost you a LOT more to fix and maintain.
The MR2 also qualifies, but it's dangerously small and underpowered, IMO. The MX5 also has this problem - I just can't physically fit in the seats and it's asking to get punked in a crash. Yes, it's a blast to drive, but tiny is no good these days, especially when slightly larger convertibles and roadsters work almost as well but might save your life in a crash.
Note - if you had 10-12K, I'd recommend a 1996 Corvette. It's a world better than most of the competition and is a serious deal for the money. The LT1 engine is about as bulletproof as it gets and repairs are pretty reasonable as long as the car isn't used up and worn out.(note - most are - shop carefully)
Why get this specific year? It's the last year of the fourth generation run and isn't as flashy as the new models. It's a good "sleeper" option and is under-appreciated. The replacement model didn't have a convertible option until 1998, and it's still 15K for a good example.
Not too bad looking, actually. Even better in black.
A typical private party example.
Don't take my word on it, either. This is a solid choice and has a soon to be "classic" look as the new models keep getting more and more like a giant jellybean.0
I checked some reviews and consumerreports reviews and the Toyota convertibles came up pretty high in the ranks with Solora and Celica in mid range of ranks and followed shortly by Mitsubishi with Eclipse rated as best car for Mitsubishi.
However, when I checked online and craigs for sale, the only Solora or Celica convertibles close to 8k with less than 80k miles were 95-99 models. Anything that was 2000+ had either 95k+ miles or had accidents on its carfax. Eclipses on the other hand were ranged 6.7-8k for 2000+ models with less than 75k miles. I do need a FWD for the snow and do not want to buy a seperate winter car. Hence the focus on these cars. Have found hardly any other FWD convertible in this area.
I do want to buy the Toyota due to the good reviews for its dependablity, but the extra 2.5-3k is confusing me a bit since the Eclipse doesnt seem to have bad reviews by itself and even had good reviews in some places. Hopefully, some research or a good car selling in my area will resolve this.0
"...but the extra 2.5-3K is confusing me..."
Used Toyotas and Hondas go for way too much in my opinion. Look up reviews of the Eclipse on Motor Trend's website. They reviewed the latest generation in a long term test and had ZERO problems after 40K miles and the car was faster and handled better at the end than when new. Toyotas may or may not be better cars but you're going to pay plenty for the PERCEPTION that they are.
As for all the Sebring bashing going on, I owned the sedan version of that car which I bought used and got well over 100K miles with minimal repairs before I sold it.
Have a mechanic check any car you plan on buying and then make your own decision based on the cost-benefit TO YOU.

As for all the Sebring bashing going on, I owned the sedan version of that car which I bought used and got well over 100K miles with minimal repairs before I sold it.
The sticky wicket here is that the "Sebring" sedan was, at least at one time, a thinly disguised Mitsubishi, and the "Sebring" convertible was a Stratus with a softtop. A totally different car, totally a Chrysler, and not very good.
Maybe that's no longer true for the more recent ones, but that's what I remember from ~ 10 years ago.
FWIW, the Solara ragtop is waaay too flexy according to the reviews I've read. Plus the Solara sedan it's based on is one of the boringest cars out there .. but at the same time a great road trip car because it's solid and quiet... my guess is you're giving up the coupe's main strengths to get the convertible.
The Eclipse is starting to sound better all the time.

This is *exactly* the model that you want to be looking at - the 98-99 ones. They stopped making convertible Celicas after that and the Solara is basically a convertible sedan(nothing special)
Though, I'd still save a bit more and get the 96 Corvette(last year of that style). The LT1 engine is really close to bulletproof and yes, purists go on about how they hate the automatics, but it's really easy to find a mint condition one with Automatic for a very reasonable price. 300+HP and automatic is still a shockingly fast ride.0
"...Sebring sedan was...a thinly disguised Mitsubishi..."
Well, not really. The sedan and the convertible were built off either the Chrysler JA or JR platform (depending on year) while the coupe was based on the Mitsu Eclipse. To confuse things more the sedan/convertible used either a Mitsu or Chrysler engine. My '97 sedan had the Mitsu 2.5L engine which was the smoothest running motor I'd ever had. It took my son driving it 10 miles with no oil to destroy it. The rest of the car was above average as well.
Strangly enough, a Toyota I owned was the worst car I ever had. That's why I suggested to the OP to have a mechanic check over any car he considers. To me a domestic car like the Chrysler would be worth it if cost was my main criteria. That's what I perceived his question to be. He might also consider the Eclipse and get a combination of Japanese quality with steeper depreciation than the Toyota.
As always, you get what you pay for.

kaushik91 Posts: 10I am also in the market for a mid level luxury car to replace my 1996 Infinity I30. I had bought this used car from a private seller and the car performed like a champ with no issues. Even today with 150K miles the car runs great. I am a person who prefers to buy used rather than a new car....just because I think that provides you with a better deal.
So here is my dilemma...when I look for used car, with my search criteria there are 150+ E350 (2008/2009) available in the market compared to < 50 for Infinity M35 (2008/2009). It seems to me that people usually lease German cars where as they buy Japanese cars.....is that because of reliability issues....which leads to cost of ownership? So far as design is concerned, I definitely like the styling of E350 better than M35.....though I really like the styling of M37.....but then it becomes a new car. I would like to know the opinion of other E350 owners regarding the reliability of the car? Are there frequent issues that costs a lot to fix? Also is there a peace of mind buying a CPO E350.... The deals that I have are....2008 E350 26k miles (CPO) with prem Pkg 1 for 34k + T&T,......same car without CPO costs 30K...... Thanks for the help Kaushik0
The new Mercedes are very nice. But I've driven both and the Infiniti M is almost S Class in quality. Of course, it also drives like a big luxo-barge.
The car that impressed me the most for the (extremely small amount of) money was the new LaCrosse.
1 year old, certified, and the top model with everything on it. Domestics are also much better than they used to be, and the money you save can basically pay for a lifetime of repairs before you even get to the price of a used German vehicle. And have you priced a repair on a Mercedes? :P0
That's asking price on the E, right? Cause you should be able to get that CPO for $30-31k. Trade-in value is only $24,500-$25k.
A comparable '08 M35 is worth very similar money. However, I'm willing to bet you could get a CPO Infiniti for less than a CPO Benz. This is directly related to the extended warranty cost the dealer pays when certifying a car. Although I don't KNOW, I have a FEELING the warranty on the Infiniti is far less.
