Split across opposite ends of her Queens district, Meng spends three days out of the week at her offices in Flushing, located at 32-26 Street, and her Forest Hills office at 118-35 Queens Boulevard.
"We knew that we wanted try to have two locations that were somewhat central for people in the district," Meng said. "It's small, but we wanted to have two, even if it was a mobile office on the street. People don't want to have to travel to the other side of the district. A lot of people don't have cars."
From her 16th floor office in Forest Hills, Meng's office offers her Queens constituents immigration services, federal tax assistance, help with obtaining federal grants, small business assistance, and emergency passport or visa issues.
"I view elected office like church," she said. "You always want to be open for business and be able to welcome new people. If no one is coming in, that's a problem."
With her team of a little more than 10 staffers and interns in her two modestly sized offices, Meng said she is proud to be serving the community where she was raised and currently lives.
Although the former assemblywoman spends a four days a week in Washington D.C., she continues to work with the people of Queens and carries the issues from her hometown to help guide policy.
"If I had the choice to work on a federal issue that could get me a lot of attention nationwide, but doesn't necessarily help my constituents, I would choose the local issues because that's what the constituents care about," she said. "Day to day, it's the local issues that keep me up."

Heres a story you wont get on other sites.Heres where things get complicated. Apparently, this Bly was the master paint reference, and the figure was in a state where it had been approved by LFL and was on its way to manufacturing. The hitch being, if the factory needs paint reference to start the run, there is no hard copy of the approved figure to instruct them on. A new one would have to be created. (My assumption here is that a newly repainted sample would need to be resubmitted to LFL before being OKed for manufacture). So, if there are any problems or questions overseas on specifications for the paint apps on the figure, theyre out of luck. That could cause a delay in the release of Commander Bly.
Either way, I don't know what the thief hopes to accomplish by stealing it. I mean, he'll never be able to sell the figure on Ebay, because everyone will know it is stolen, alert Ebay, and then the guy can be caught by Hasbro; even if he keeps it, he won't be able to really talk about it as being the sole paint sample of the figure without revealing himself as the person who stole it. It's like the guys that stole "The Scream" a while back: sure, you've got a (more or less) one of a kind piece of art, but who can ever know about it?
Well that's unfortunate. These companies are probably going to have to cut back on the amount of stuff they show now. Apparently they do not have enough eyes to keep watch on their stuff. Who knew it would turn out to be like shoplifting at a comic con?
If Hasbro has one ounce of professionalism to their process, the instant that a figure is painted and approved, someone would create a set of Orthorgraphics clearly labeling which color is to be applied to each portion of the figure from all relevant angles - probably noting RGB values as well as simple paint shade terms.

USB storage devices
This document describes how to use the popular USB memory sticks with Linux. However, it is also valid for other devices such as digital cameras that act as if they were just a USB storage device.
If you have an up-to-date system with the standard Arch kernel and a modern Desktop environment your device should just show up on your desktop, with no need to open a console.
- 1 Auto-mounting with udisks
- 2 Auto-mounting with udev
- 3 Auto-mounting with udev and systemd
- 4 Manual mounting
- 5 Troubleshooting
Auto-mounting with udisks
This is the easiest and most frequently used method. It is used by many desktop environments, but can be used separately too. See Udisks for details.
Auto-mounting with udev
See Udev:Auto mounting USB devices.
A lightweight solution to automount drives using udev, for single-user systems, is the following: create a file named
/etc/udev/rules.d/automount.rules with the following content:
# ignore sda* KERNEL!="sd[b-z]*", GOTO="end" # run the script ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_BUS}=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", RUN+="domount %N" # exit LABEL="end"
and a file (executable by root) named
/usr/lib/udev/domount with (set the variables on top to the correct values):
#!/bin/sh #edit the following variables to suit your needs MYUID=1000 # your user uid MYGID=100 # your user gid MYLOGIN=al # your login TERM=lxterminal # your terminal emulator MYSHELL=zsh # your shell export DISPLAY=:0 # your X display TMPFILE=/run/automount.$RANDOM DIR=$(grep -v '#' /etc/fstab | grep $* | awk '{print $2;}') if [ -z "$DIR" ]; then LABEL=$(lsblk -no LABEL $*) if [ -z "$LABEL" ]; then UUID=$(lsblk -no UUID $*) if [ -z "$UUID" ]; then DIR=/run/media/"unknown" else DIR=/run/media/"$UUID" fi else DIR=/run/media/"$LABEL" fi fi mkdir -p $DIR cat > $TMPFILE << EOF #!/bin/sh echo "$* was mounted on $DIR. " cd $DIR $MYSHELL EOF chmod a+x $TMPFILE /bin/mount -o uid=$MYUID,gid=$MYGID $* $DIR su $MYLOGIN -c "$TERM -t 'Terminal - $* mounted on $DIR' -e $TMPFILE" /bin/umount $DIR sleep 1; rm -f $TMPFILE
When a drive is inserted, it will be mounted, and a Terminal will pop-up. To umount the device, simply press Control+D in the terminal window. The mountpoint is looked for in
/etc/fstab or, if absent, generated from the label of the partition.
If the terminal doesn't appear as expected, that may because wrong options are used. For example, in XFCE4, we use "Terminal -T title -e script-file instead"
Auto-mounting with udev and systemd
The above solution does not work, since the RUN directive is for only short processes, and udev enforces this; Scripts will be killed shortly after starting. Instead, the following solution based on the previous one uses systemd, udev and screen to create a more elegant solution.
First, we create a systemd service template (
[Unit] Description=Automount removable storage [Service] Type=forking ExecStart=/usr/lib/udev/domount %I
We also create a udev rule in
/etc/udev/rules.d/automount.rules very similar to the previous solution.
# ignore sda* KERNEL!="sd[b-z]*", GOTO="end" # Also allow SD cards KERNEL=="mmcblk[0-9]p[0-9]", GOTO="MMC" # USB: run the script LABEL="USB" ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_BUS}=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl start automount@%N.service", GOTO="end" ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_BUS}=="ata", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl start automount@%N.service", GOTO="end" LABEL="MMC" ACTION=="add", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl start automount@%N.service", GOTO="end" # exit LABEL="end"
The juice of the solution is placed in
#!/bin/sh #edit the following variables to suit your needs MYUID=1000 # your user uid MYGID=100 # your user gid MYLOGIN="ME" # your login USERSCRIPT="/usr/lib/udev/domount_user"; BASE='/media' DIR=`basename $*`; i=0; while [ -d "$BASE/$DIR" ]; do DIR="`basename $*`.$i"; i=$((i+1)); done mkdir -p "$BASE/$DIR" && /bin/mount -o uid=$MYUID,gid=$MYGID "$*" "$BASE/$DIR" if [ -z "`su $MYLOGIN -c 'screen -ls | grep AUTOMOUNT'`" ]; then su $MYLOGIN -c "screen -dm -S AUTOMOUNT -t $DIR $USERSCRIPT $* $BASE $DIR"; exit; fi su $MYLOGIN -c "screen -S AUTOMOUNT -X screen -t $DIR $USERSCRIPT $* $BASE $DIR";
and in
#!/bin/sh DEV="$1"; BASE="$2"; DIR="$3"; echo "$DEV mounted on $BASE/$DIR" echo "Contents:" ls --color=auto "$BASE/$DIR" echo -e "\n------------------------------------\nExit shell to unmount when finished."; while true; do d=$HOME; cd $BASE/$DIR bash cd $dir; echo "------------------------------------" lsof | grep $BASE/$DIR; if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then break; else echo "------------------------------------"; echo "The above processes will block the unmount. Please end them."; fi done sudo /bin/umount "$BASE/$DIR" && sudo rmdir "$BASE/$DIR";
To access the screen session which controls the mounted partitions, simply run
$ screen -d -r AUTOMOUNT
I would suggest putting this in a command key shortcut, for example with xbindkeys to run in a terminal.
Manual mounting
Getting a kernel that supports usb_storage
If you do not use a custom-made kernel, you are ready to go, for all Arch Linux stock kernels are properly configured. If you do use a custom-made kernel, ensure it is compiled with SCSI-Support, SCSI-Disk-Support and usb_storage. If you use the latest udev, you may just plug your device in and the system will automatically load all necessary kernel modules. Older releases of udev would need hotplug installed too. Otherwise, you can do the same thing manually:
# modprobe usb-storage # modprobe sd_mod (only for non SCSI kernels)
Identifying device
First thing one need to access storage device is it's identifier assigned by kernel. See fstab#Identifying filesystems for details.
lsblk -f (explained in the linked article) when the USB device is connected and when it is unconnected.
Mounting USB memory
You need to create the directory in which you are going to mount the device:
# mkdir /mnt/usbstick
As root
Mount the device as root with this command (do not forget to replace device_node by the path you found):
# mount device_node /mnt/usbstick
# mount -U UUID /mnt/usbstick
mount does not recognize the format of the device you can try to use the
-t argument, see
man mount for details.
As normal user with mount
If you want non-root users to be able to write to the USB stick, you can issue the following command:
# mount -o gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
As normal user with fstab
If you want non-root users to be able to mount a USB memory stick via fstab, add the following line to your
/etc/fstab file:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,noatime,flush 0 0
or better:
UUID=E8F1-5438 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,noatime,flush 0 0
(see description of user and other options in the main article)
/dev/sda1 is replaced with the path to your own usbstick, see Mounting USB memory.
Now, any user can mount it with:
$ mount /mnt/usbstick
And unmount it with:
$ umount /mnt/usbstick
Poor copy performance to USB pendrive
If you experienced slow copy speed to pendrive (mainly in KDE), then append these three lines in a systemd tmpfile:
w /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled - - - - madvise w /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag - - - - madvise w /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag - - - - 0

Want to make a good impression on extraterrestrial civilization we encounter? The best bet is to showcase our dark side — our foibles, our mistakes and even our most horrifying aspects, says Douglas Vakoch, director of message for the SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute. It's too bad the Voyager spacecraft only contained Pollyanna-ish messages about our lovely aspects, and our propensity for cooperation, because any advanced spacefaring races we come across will probably just think we're not just primitives, but lacking in self-awareness.
Says Vakoch:
Might not such an attempt to put the best face on our current situation unintentionally reveal a potentially far more dangerous fault of humankind: a tendency to hide from our own problems and to avoid these threats to our very existence?
Here's the crux of Vakoch's argument, as far as I understand it: any interstellar society we encounter is likely to be much, much more advanced than us. After all, the chances of two cultures developing the ability to communicate across interstellar distances in the same part of the galaxy within the same historical moment are infinitessimal. So the aliens will either have been spacefaring for longer than us, or else their space-going era will already have ended — in which case we won't meet them.
So let's assume that a more advanced race, technologically, will also be more advanced in its cultural development. In that case, we'll be like messy, screamy, food-flinging, barfy children to these space demigods. And the most valuable contribution we could make to the interchange would be to remind our new friends of what it's like to be more primitive and id-driven. In any case, if we try to sweep our wars, our environmental destruction and our general crazoid behavior under the celestial rug, they'll probably be able to figure it out and we'll just look like idiots. Our best bet is just to emphasize everything bad about ourselves when we first meet other intelligences, so they'll know what they're in for.
Actually, Vakoch's argument veers sharply towards the end, and he starts talking about how acknowledging our "Shadow" (in the Jungian sense) is just good for us generally, and how we should just own up to our worse natures because it would be therapeutic and healthy. So maybe he's actually got some other agenda, and he's one of those Jungian infiltrators you hear about. [Space.com]

And decals and fake carbon fibre panels sprinkled all over to further evoke racing aspirations.If you want flashier paint jobs, we suggest you look at the lesser RTR 160 - the 180ABS is only available in black and white. If you chose the 180 over the 180ABS, there's a grey option as well. Definitely the most talked-about feature on the RTR is the LED daytime running lights, which TVS has been flaunting in its commercials.In the city, the existing horses are adequate and you'll rarely find the 180 underpowered. Out on the highway, though, you immediately sense the need for a sixth gear. This not only limits the RTR's top speed, it also affects highway cruising speed. When you hit the triple-digits and want to stay at a steady 110kph, the engine's revving too high and sounds stressed.We managed a top speed of 121kph on our run, which matches the older bike. The fuel run was also similar, with the 180 returning 34.6kpl. The RTR 180 ABS is pegged at Rs 82,000 (on-road Mumbai). That's 4,000 more than the outgoing model, but given all those design revisions, you shouldn't mind that price hike.The numbers177.4cc single-cylinder, 17.3bhp, 15.5Nm, Top speed\:121kph. Economy\: 34.6kpl, Rs 82,000 (on-road, Mumbai)The verdictLooks better, but we're still waiting for the 'all-new' beast. Abhinav Mishra 17 September 2012 Review: TVS Apache RTR 180

Andrei Arshavin arrived at the Emirates as the costliest signing in the history of Arsenal.
Memorable performances in the Euro 2008 which had followed a starring role in Zent St. Petersburg's UEFA Cup triumph, and the expectations among the fans and in the media was at a high.
Here was a player who seemed to have it all: speed, vision, touch and the jaunt of a star who knows the world's his oyster. Adding to his aura was Barcelona trying to buy him before he arrived at the Emirates.
He started off with a flourish, highlighted by the four-goal burst at Anfield where an abysmal Arsenal defence was the only factor which allowed Liverpool to escape with a victory, while they were on a title charge.
The little Russian was so dominant and so effective that even his seemingly taunting celebrations of his goals were applauded by the Anfield faithful. The Russian had arrived in the Premier League in January and taken only a few days to fit in to a league distinctly difficult for foreigners to adjust to.
Alas, that performance of four years ago is the only reminders Arsenal fans have of the talent which the club had at its disposal, and one of the greatest "what might have been" stories of the club.
When he arrived at the club, it was a young Spaniard, Cesc Fabregas who was coming into his own in leading the team and driving the team forward, and was also playing in the position the Russian thrived in for his club and also his national team.
When Fabregas left, did Arsene Wenger miss a beat by not deploying the Russian in that position which might have revived Arshavin's career at the Emirates, or was it too late by then, and Wenger had spotted some deficiency in character or effort which excluded him from his grand designs for the club?
That's a question left unanswered, and as the fans say goodbye - some, with relief - they will always wonder at what might have been. It may have been a lack of opportunity, but Arshavin did see off his contract, which neither Fabregas nor Samir Nasri, another similarly girted attacking midfielder, did.
Arshavin's position where he was deployed at Arsenal was a wide position, and occasionally the lone striker during a particularly serious injury crisis but rarely did he operate in a free attacking role through the centre of midfield in the Premier League.
The tragedy for Arsenal fans is that Arshavin's stay at the club will be remembered more for the boos which rang out at the Emirates when he came on as substitute for an impressive Alex Oxlade Chamberlain in the 2011-12 season against Manchester United, rather than for the four goal heroics at the Anfield, or any such performance which his talent promised, but never delivered.

Awesome needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 83 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
zonen.se is a blogging network in sweden.
we need a logo that can be easily altered for a series of sites.
We will have around 10-15 sites running with the same logo but we want to be able to add xxxxxzonen.se. Example. prylzonen.se (gadgetzone), modezonen.se (fashionzone).
We want to be able to modify the logo ourselves, so the font etc must be included.
Would be nice if you also submitted an example of what it would look like on the different sites, example prylzonen.se.
The sites are a series of {something}zonen.se. Im looking for something clean, web 2.0 style, or whatever you think a good interpretation may be. maybe iconic or text based. I need to see them to decide.The topics range so the logo needs to be somewhat universal unless there is an icon that can be changed out.

In their new study, the scientists found that DMS, a small-molecule by-product of cellular membranes in the nervous system, is produced at abnormally high levels in the spinal cords of rats with neuropathic pain and appears to cause pain when injected. The findings suggest inhibiting this molecule may be a fruitful target for drug development.
"We think that this is a big step forward in understanding and treating neuropathic pain, and also a solid demonstration of the power of metabolomics," said Doctor Gary J. Patti of Washington University in St. Louis.
Scientists who want to understand what makes diseased cells different from healthy cells have often looked for differences in levels of gene expression or cellular proteins — approaches known respectively as genomics and proteomics. Metabolomics, by contrast, concerns differences in the levels of small-molecule metabolites, such as sugars, vitamins, and amino acids, that serve as the building blocks of basic cellular processes. "These are the molecules that are actually being transformed during cellular activity, and tracking them provides more direct information on what's happening at a biochemical level," Patti said.
"The idea was to apply metabolomic analysis to understand the biochemical basis of the neuropathic pain condition and reveal potential therapeutic targets," said Doctor Gary Siuzdak of the Scripps Research Centre for Metabolomics. "We call this approach 'therapeutic metabolomics'."
The scientists began with a standard model of neuropathic pain in lab rats. Patti, Siuzdak, and their colleagues sampled segments of a previously injured tibial leg nerve triggering neuropathic pain, as well as the rats' blood plasma and tissue from the rats' spinal cords. The scientists then determined the levels of metabolites in these tissues, and compared them to levels from control animals.
Unexpectedly, the scientists found that nearly all the major abnormalities in metabolite levels were present not in the injured leg nerve fibre, nor in blood plasma, but in tissue from the "dorsal horn" region of the spinal cord which normally receives signals from the tibial nerve and relays them to the brain. "After the nerve is damaged, it degrades and rebuilds itself at the site of the injury, but remodeling also occurs, possibly over a longer period, at the terminus of the nerve where it connects to dorsal horn neurons," Patti said.

An 18-year-old man facing drunken driving charges in a Nevada interstate crash that killed five members of a Southern California family was a fugitive from a California juvenile facility at the time of the accident.
Todd Spitzer, an Orange County supervisor, wants an investigation to determine whether any efforts were made to locate Jean Ervin Soriano after he escaped from the county facility. Spitzer says the Board of Supervisors only learned about Soriano's fugitive status this week, though the escape occurred March 1.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department says it isn't aware if it assisted in searching for Soriano. The county probation department, which oversees the facility, declines to comment.
Soriano was arrested Saturday after the SUV he was driving rear-ended a van on a freeway outside Las Vegas.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Gannon's Mary Eshenour (Waterloo, NY) scored half of her team's 16 goals on Tuesday afternoon as the ninth-ranked Golden Knights pulled out a 16-14 victory over Pfeiffer University in women's lacrosse action at N.E. Lefko Field. Gannon improves to 2-0 on the year while the Lady Falcons fall to 3-1.
Pfeiffer came flying out of the gates notching the first four goals in a 4:32 span. Shannon Bonnel (Mechanicsville, MD) put home two of the four while sisters Rachel and Sarah Hebberd (Golden, CO) each had one in the spurt. The Golden Knights responded with six-straight to grab a two-goal lead midway through the first half. Eshenour had three of those six while Christie Valentine (Friendship, MD), Jess Fugate (Wooster, OH) and Sarah Grzybinski (New Market, MD) had the others.
After two more strikes from Eshenour before the half, the Lady Falcons Katherine Athens (Huntingtown, MD) and Alex Cook (Commack, NY) would slam home tallied with 27 and 17 seconds left as Pfeiffer trailed 9-7 at the break.
Cook made it a one-goal game 3:49 into the second as Pfeiffer would net five of the first six in the second half to take a 12-10 lead. Athens, Cook and Sarah Hebberd would all strike again while Jessica Moulton (Huntingtown, MD) got in on the action as the Lady Falcons held the two-goal advantage with 16:42 remaining.
After three-straight from Gannon, Cook evened things again with a free position shot at 10:16 for a 13-13 contests. Eshenour and Moulton would trade goals at 7:04 and 5:20, but the Golden Knights would tack on their final pair of scores with Caitlyn Fisher (Cypress, TX) hitting at 4:39 while Eshenour added her eighth and final of the day at 2:03.
As a team, Gannon held a slight advantage over Pfeiffer in shots (32-29), groundballs (26-25) and draw controls (19-13). Individually, Cook led the Lady Falcons with a team-high four goals.
Pfeiffer will return home on Friday to take on Rollins beginning at 12:00 p.m.

Summer is in full swing and if we aren't careful it will be gone. I used to think of August as the main vacation month, but now school activities start so early that July is more likely the time you can think vacation and summer reading. Sometimes it helps to have a list from which to choose. Literacy activities with children, your own, your grandchildren, or children you know sparkle our summers like July 4th sparklers. Summer literacy activities keep our minds active and keep students from failing behind when they return to the class room. They are also fun and build communication.
July 1: Monday, once considered wash day leads us to read about something or someone with the word "wash" in it such as President Washington, the state of Washington, the city of Washington D.C., or read about how the washing machine developed, etc. Discuss what you find at the dinner table.
July 2: Read about either a parent or grandparent's occupation and discuss why each chose it. This is wonderful activity to talk to those living or ask family members what they know about those no longer living.
July 3: Look through the library catalog to find out if there are any books with the word "July" in the title. If there is one available and it looks interesting, check it out and read it together. If there isn't a title, try another month's name. You might also look for patriotic material, especially if there is a veteran in the family.
July 4: What a wonderful time to discuss the parades you remember and maybe were in and discuss why parades look different in different parts of our country.
July 5: Each family member writes a description about a favorite pet and an incident involving it. Then read the descriptions out loud. (Transcribe for little ones.)
July 6: Get an Atlas or a globe out and locate where extended family members took vacations during the past two years and find out the farthest point someone you know has traveled from your home city or state.
July 7: Read the Sunday comics together and discuss each family member's favorite comic strip and how long he/she has been reading it.
July 8: Play Pony Express. Each family member finds an interesting newspaper article in one of the newspapers during the past week. He/she cuts it out, puts it in an old envelope and hand delivers it to another family member. That family member reads it, signs the outside of the envelope and hand delivers it to another family member.
July 9: Share a favorite fable with each other.
July 10: Choose ten titles of books you have in the home. Create new titles for them using synonyms. Example: Around the World in Eighty Days becomes "Surround the Earth in One Light Year".
July 11: Go back to the library and look for books about trips and choose one to read together. Also, get pamphlets on vacation places and share your dreams.
July 12: Make a chart together of something that interests you such as Presidential birthdays and states where they were born, related animals, breeds of horses, types of rocks, etc.
July 13: Together write a family acrostic poem using the surnames of both mother and father. (The theme of the poem might be family characteristics, wishes, events, etc.)
July 14: Make family birthday cards for the year including a saying or verse. Then actually mail these cards at the appropriate time.
July 15: Watch a television show together and discuss how the characters seem real or not. How could the screenwriter have improved the show?
July 16: Each family member chooses an article from a magazine, and then each summarizes his/her article and reads it to the rest of the family. (Help younger family members do this.)
July 17: Each family member names a hero/heroine. Discuss the choices and find a book about one of them and read it together.
July 18: Discuss why you vote. Use an almanac for voting facts. Discuss what a "landslide" is in a presidential election.
July 19: Play video or board games together, and have the winner choose a book that the family reads together.
July 20: Write a round robin letter to a far-away relative or to a lonely person.
July 21: Watch a television newscast and find an article in the newspaper that is about something mentioned in the newscast. Discuss the different slants of the newscast and article.
July 22: Take a family walk to the library and come home with books whose titles start with the first letter of each person's first name. Read these books during the week and recommend them to other family members explaining why they should read the book.
July 23: Read together a folk tale book or a ghost story book.
July 24: Invite a grandparent(s) or adult friend(s) for supper and ask him/her to bring a favorite short story or tale to read after the meal.
July 25: Create a family journal where once a week each family member adds an entry. Once a month read the entries aloud.
July 26: Draw names and make a gift of love for that family member. Be sure and make your rules ahead of time, such as not being able to buy anything. Write an explanation of why you want to give it to that person. Set a deadline for when the gift is to be given, or plan a special event for the gift giving.
July 27: Compile a list of ten praises for each family member and post the list for a week.
July 28: Create a family poem or story and visit a nursing home and share it with friends there.
July 29: Dress up and go to a restaurant and read the entire menu and make a first, second, and third choice.
July 30: Read a book together then create a different ending.
July 31: Reward yourself for building literacy this month and share a favorite activity together.
I hope you have fun with July literacy. Until next week… Christine Pauley

Express. Home of the Daily and Sunday Express.
Taylor: Time to move on
Players' chief Gordon Taylor warned that the continuing furore over the John Terry racism case was causing the game to "implode".
The publication of the disciplinary commission's full reasons behind Terry's four-match ban for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand also contained criticism of Ashley Cole for his evidence. Cole responded with an offensive tweet aimed at the FA, for which he later apologised, and Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Taylor is concerned at the continuing effect on the game.
Terry has 14 days to decide whether to appeal, but Taylor questioned whether that would happen, and he told the Press Association: "The judgement is quite comprehensive and you get to the point when you wonder whether you just accept it and move on. This whole case is causing the game to implode."
He added: "I would like the situation to be ended and for people to learn from it and move on with new focus, and new training programmes explaining clearly to players about what is racist and what is unacceptable.
"There has to be some reconciliation now because it is causing the game to implode."
Taylor welcomed Cole's apology after his outburst.
He said: "I would certainly approve and welcome that apology. Social media causes so many problems with people making comments and then finding them going public.
"Players are better off being more circumspect, considering what will happen if they do say something controversial."
He reiterated that the disciplinary process had dragged on far too long - it is now almost a year since the offence.
He added on Sky Sports News: "It's important the FA continues to grasp the nettle, although I would like the process to be speedier. The essence of justice is to deal with things quickly and transparently. For 12 months this has festered and only got worse. Progress has been undone and we have to apply ourselves even harder to ensure it doesn't happen again."

text: I may be just ranting but WTF!!!! I have OG Razr and need to upgrade my phone and I can't believe the stress its causing me. Do manufacturers sign a pact that says "We will never give the consumer what they want"? I don't get it. Here are my choices: Motorola Maxx HD - Pros - Great build Quality, great radio, good looks, long battery life Cons -terrible camera (I have seen real pictures, they suck), horrible ergonomics, boatloads of bloatware, Expensive. Galaxy S III - Pros - Great features, great camera, great Eco-system (Google+Samsung),great ergonomics Cons - questionable battery life, build quality is great if you have experience handling eggs, poor radio, touchwiz super skin. Nexus 4 - Pros - pure android, good build quality, decent camera, quad core, inexpensive. Cons - No LTE?????, below avg battery life, no support for best Network so who cares about the radios. Note 2 - I'm sorry, but this is not a phone unless you are a basketball player. I am sure it works for some, the sales numbers prove this. That said, this is still a niche product, for every 1 person that loves it, there are 50 that find it amusing. Can someone explain why I am forced to compromise when there are no technological hurdles prohibiting them from making a phone that satisfies all our needs? Would it be so hard for Moto to use a BSI CMOS sensor that is ubiquitous among flagships? Would it be so hard for Samsung to use premium material in their premier product like everyone else does? And must they supplement great android features with mediocre touchwiz features? S-voice? are you kidding? And Google? It's 2012, no LTE, no Verizon? $%# $&$ &&% ^ && ^%& $%& &^%$ ^%$!!!!! I am seriously considering going to the Dark side .

The entire region, stretching way beyond the boundaries of White County, bid farewell to a well-respected gentleman last week. Tom Sutton, longtime judge for the second judicial circuit, was honored with a reception at the White County Fairgrounds Floral Hall.
The entire region, stretching way beyond the boundaries of White County, bid farewell to a well-respected gentleman last week. Tom Sutton, longtime judge for the second judicial circuit, was honored with a reception at the White County Fairgrounds Floral Hall. The event was attended by many well-wishers from near and far as Sutton ended a tenure that included 24 years on the bench, 13 years as states attorney and two years in private practice. Many residents all over the 12-county circuit, stretching from Elizabethtown to the south and Robinson to the north and from Benton and Mt. Vernon, Ill. to the west to the Wabash River to the east, have had interactions with Sutton. He is and will always be revered as one of the most respected members of public office from the past few decades.
Born in White County and raised in Fairfield, Sutton's first major victory was to marry his high school sweetheart, Cheryl. He attended the University of Illinois and flowed directly into their law school. Cheryl received her teaching degree from Illinois State and relocated to Urbana during their first year of marriage, teaching in Rantoul and working toward her master's degree while Sutton was mastering his law degree. Prior to graduation, he was visited by Bill Fechtig of Carmi, who extended him an offer to join his law firm in Carmi. The opportunity gave Sutton a chance to be close to family and return to the area he grew up in.
Sutton joined Fechtig in the newly formed "Fechtig and Sutton" law practice, which was located on Main Street in downtown Carmi. A short time later, a shift on the bench left a void in the state's attorney's office and a perfect opportunity for Sutton to expand his skills.
"I'd only been out of law school two years when the state's attorney position became available in 1974," said Sutton. "At the time, they hadn't had a state attorney that young before. And, at that time, you could still hold that position and have a private practice, so it worked out well."
Sutton began to gain experience in a different form of the law. Cheryl began a nursery school in their home on Stewart Street and built the business up to a full time entity. When their youngest daughter entered first grade, Cheryl discontinued the nursery school with a standing waiting list of 60 seeking her service as a childcare provider. Cheryl reverted back to her training as a teacher and in all, completed 37 years of teaching five years ago upon retirement.
In 1987, Judge Henry Lewis announced he was retiring from his position and Sutton was in a perfect spot to succeed him. He had always admired Lewis and was excited to follow him into the next step of law.
During his 24 years on the bench, Sutton experienced many facets of the courtroom. His biggest honor was bestowed upon him by his fellow judges, a position he fulfilled for four years.
"I was really honored to be selected by the other judges as the chief judge," said Sutton. "That was probably one of the more memorable times from my career. In that position, you are dealing with all the circuit clerks, state's attorneys and courthouse staff and have to keep everything going. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've said several times that was one of the hardest parts of my decision to retire was to leave the people I worked with. Everybody I worked with has been like family and when you retire and leave that family, it's very difficult. You develop such relationships with them. It is hard to say goodbye."
Sutton worked on numerous types of cases while on the bench and presided over several murder cases. He did note the Gary Pate death penalty case was the most complex and stressful of the cases he worked.
"In order to sit on that type of case, you have to be certified," explained Sutton. "That made it a more complicated procedure. It was a pretty weighty trial. The jury selected in a case like that makes the decision but the judge still has to say the words."
The cases that affected Sutton the most were those involving children. Whether a child was the victim of abuse or neglect or involved in a divorce proceeding, Sutton said it was hard to see kids involved in those situations.
A situation that was not hard for Sutton was to reconnect with old colleagues and friends at his reception. During the event, several of his friends on the bench gave testimonials to his successes, both professional and personal. Steve Sawyer presented Sutton with a plaque from all the judges. But, the highlight of the event was a power point presentation from Sutton's two daughters, Jennifer and Kimberly.
Jennifer (Kays), who resides in Louisville, Ky. and Kimberly (Sarff), who resides in Morton, collaborated on a "Top Ten" list of reasons their father was retiring. The hilarious review included reasons such as spending their inheritance and said their father always buys something nice. They showed a photo of a motor home that rivaled the one featured in the film, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Another reason listed was due to the financial situation of the state of Illinois and Sutton would need to find another job where they quickly imposed him in a blue vest serving as a greeter for a big box store. Another reason on the list was that Sutton had been contacted to be a stunt mustache double for Tom Selleck, which was quickly followed by a photo of Sutton from his earlier days where he sported a dark full mustache. The Sutton girls list was the hit of the reception and a perfect way to honor their father as he moves into the next phase of his life.
The next phase of life for Sutton will be at a slightly slower pace. He and Cheryl already have a calendar filled with visits to watch their granddaughter, Madison, perform in a recital and their grandson, Aiden, participate in ballgames. In all, the Suttons have four grandchildren. Jennifer has two children, Madison, age 10, and Aiden, age eight, while Kimberly also has a son and daughter, Liam, age four, and Tinley, age 20 months. Sutton noted his grandchildren as one of the main reasons for his decision to retire.
"Cheryl and I want to be involved in their lives as much as we can while we are able to," said Sutton. "Right now, our health appears to be good, but we are reaching an age where you never know. We also like to travel and want to be able to take trips while we still have our health."
Whatever life has in store for the Suttons, they should both know they have made a difference in southern Illinois. And, whatever they tackle, they will pursue it with enthusiasm and will continue to be a bright spot in the community.

Longtime civil rights activist Gwendolyn F. Green can never forget some of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s last words to her and how prophetic they turned out to be.
Green was working for then-state Sen. Mervyn Dymally when she was asked to invite King to speak at the California Democratic Council's annual convention in Anaheim on March 16, 1968. Green had worked with King and his wife, Coretta, for the past eight years in various administrative positions with King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference and its fundraising affiliate, the Western Christian Leadership Conference.
King, who led his nonviolent, civil rights campaign, had grown weary but agreed to come out and gave a memorable speech at the convention, she said. After attending a benefit at a Beverly Hills home that night with celebrities including Marlon Brando, King told Green at his hotel that he thought the end was near.
"He told my daughter and I that he knew his number was up and that he knew he was going to be killed," Green, 88, of South Los Angeles recalled recently on the property of First African Methodist Episcopal Church. "Everything was going against him. … He felt he wasn't able to control many of the organizations (fighting for civil rights) and get them to react in a nonviolent way. So many things were pressuring him to be partisan. He was tired. He just said he thought his number was up and that he would not see us again."
On the one hand, Green said she wasn't surprised. She knew that he and Coretta were deeply committed to the cause and were willing to die for that commitment. On the other, she said, "even though you believe in it, you don't think that 17 days from then you'd be taken out."
When Dymally, who later became a U.S. congressman, called to tell her King had been shot on April 4, she said she went through "all the necessary screaming and crying," verified the news with the wife of Andrew Young, King's aide, and then flew out to attend the massive and chaotic funeral in Atlanta with her daughter.
Green said she feels blessed to have worked with King and his wife. Green, who became active in civil rights issues as a child in Oakland, worked as an administrative aid for Western Christian Leadership Conference, a group of Southern California ministers charged with doing fundraising and holding rallies in support of King and the civil rights movement. After young protesters were attacked with police dogs and high-powered hoses in the South, King contacted the president of the organization's board, Rev. L. Sylvester Odom, and said they needed their help.
"They really needed funds to fight this because it was too massive," Green said.
Green was the point person, setting up rallies and fundraising events. And in 1965, she served as assistant director for the SCLC's Summer Community Organization and Political Education Project, traveling to six southern states to provide voter registration and education at a time that blacks were harassed and put in jail for trying to register to vote. For several months, she worked directly with King, Young, civil rights leader Hosea Williams and King's entire Atlanta-based staff.
King "was very easy going," Green said. "He was brilliant and had brilliant people working around him. I was thrilled to be working with him and to be a part of history."
Green also traveled with Coretta King, a noted singer, when she gave several concerts to raise money for the cause. The two became very close, she said, and remained friends until her death in 2006.
For Rev. William Monroe Campbell of Mount Gilead Missionary Baptist Church in South Los Angeles, meeting Rev. King was also a powerful experience.
Campbell heard King speak several times as a youth at Second Baptist Church, which strongly supported the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the civil rights movement.
When he was about 17, Campbell recalled hearing the prominent civil rights leader speak of being "a drum major for justice." The teen was struck by one statement in particular — that "if you're a street sweeper, sweep the streets like Michelangelo's paintings" — since Campbell's dad was, in fact, a street sweeper who was well-regarded for his diligence.
"I heard it in a very personal form," Campbell, who today lives in Altadena and is vice chairmen of the SCLC of Southern California, said. "It reinforced my sense of encouragement to be the best possible person that I can be."
In 1969, Campbell was chairman of the Black Students Union at George Pepperdine College — then located in South L.A. — when campus security guard Charles Lane fatally shot 15-year-old black teenager, Larry Kimmons, who had come to the campus to play basketball.
Campbell felt "utter dismay," he said, that a kid could be shot by a guard at point-blank range "when he had done nothing to deserve that." The judge disregarded a recommendation to give Lane jail time and the guard was eventually fined $500 and placed on probation.
The tragic shooting fueled anger at the campus, with Campbell and other students boycotting classes and participating in demonstrations until the administration shut down the school for about a week. College officials entered into negotiations with the students over their demands, Campbell said, and eventually established a black studies program on campus and hired black faculty.
Campbell, 66, said he and other students were influenced by King's principles and methodology to effect change.
"What we did was in accord with the methodology that had been advanced by Dr. King," Campbell said. "It meant that I and we did not have to passively accept mistreatment, abuse, discrimination and oppression. That we did not have to be passive and yet we could honor an ethic of nonviolence."
In fact, when a student wanted to put a bomb in the piano in the college's auditorium, Campbell said he stopped him from doing it, telling him that this was going to be strictly a nonviolent campaign.
"That kind of thing wouldn't help or advance our cause," he said.
King, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, was on the apex of a broader community force that worked to advance civil rights issues, Campbell said. The question is not what King means to society, he said, but which values emerged from a movement in which King was a primary moving force.
That is recognizing "the worth and value of every citizen," he said, and "taking steps as needed to ensure the honoring of the rights and values of every citizen."

A joyous summer of love, commitment and marriage for Marlee and Megan in California
August 22, 2013
It's been a big summer for Megan and Marlee Malone-Franklin.
On May 17, 2013, in front of all of their family members and friends, the women expressed their love for each other and promised their lifelong commitment to supporting each other. Their ceremony, held at St. James' Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, was a beautiful day that represented a long, strong future for the women together.
"We were surrounded by so much love and support that it was overwhelming," Megan explained. Family members and friends - people who already viewed the women as two parts of a whole in a committed, lifelong relationship, were able to gather around the couple and witness as they sealed their commitment in a gorgeous ceremony with a moving blessing.

At the time of their ceremony, Megan and Marlee still weren't sure what the fate of the freedom to marry would be in California. The United States Supreme Court had not yet announced its ruling in the Proposition 8 case, which challenged the 2008 constitutional amendment that stripped same-sex couples in California of the freedom to marry.
"We were really holding out to see if Prop 8 was overturned," Megan said, adding, "If it was overturned, we knew we wanted to marry in California as soon as possible." California, after all, is their home - they live together in Brea, CA, and they were both raised in Orange County, CA.
Megan and Marlee have been best friends since high school. "About six years into our friendship, it blossomed into something more," they said. "It was difficult at first to reconcile our relationship with everything we'd been taught coming from conservative Christian backgrounds, but we knew in our hearts that we were meant for each other."
The couple has been happily together for over three and a half years, and on May 17 they were able to express their commitment to each other formally but, because of Proposition 8, the ceremony granted them no legal respect or protection.
That's part of why they were so thrilled on June 26, 2013, when they - along with hundreds of thousands of other same-sex couples in the United States - learned that the central part of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act, which for 16 years denied federal respect to legally married same-sex couples, had been struck down, and that the freedom to marry would be restored in California. The Supreme Court's announcement changed the state of their relationship - granting them the freedom to marry in California and ensuring that their marriage would receive the federal respect that it deserves.
"Now, we're able to use the words 'my wife' without having to respond to confused looks or raised eyebrows," Megan said. "Seeing Prop 8 overturned was absolutely freeing." On August 9, Megan and Marlee gathered with several friends and family members at the Orange County Clerk-Recorder's Office in Fullerton, CA to make their marriage official.
"The feeling after our civil ceremony was like nothing else," Megan said. "The hug in this photo lasted for about two full minutes."
With their marriage license, Megan and Marlee are now fully respected as a married couple - including access to all of the federal protections of marriage. Now, they're looking toward a future very soon where same-sex couples like them across all 50 states can share in the joys of marriage. "Being able to legalize your commitment and have the protections marriage brings like other couples do - without jumping through expensive hoops - is so meaningful," Megan said. We know that all loving couples across the country deserve those meaningful protections of marriage - and we're excited to keep working hard to ensure that soon, no family will be denied this important freedom.

In much the same way the military kid from Pittsburgh initially amassed Internet buzz, Wiz Khalifa stepped onto the Gibson Amphitheatre stage Tuesday night for the Los Angeles stop of his 2050 Tour in unique fashion.
Draped in a leather jacket, flannel trousers and a sleeveless T-shirt declaring "Kiss My Acid," he looked prime to hit a Dead Boys tribute night rather than rhyme for a capacity house. Backed by a stage design that included a massive smoking bong with wings and two mascots, a dancing lighter and joint (naturally), there was an element to the show that smacked of Spinal Tap, yet the crowd ate it up all the same.
While it might have been hard to focus on anything other than the 40-foot smokestack and toe-tapping marijuana cigarette, there were a few important aspects that might have slipped past most people. Performing with his appropriately named backing band Kush and Orange Juice, Khalifa harnessed a live dynamic that allowed the lyricist to flourish front-and-center on the mic without relying on a DJ or hype man to hit play.
Yet every other hip-hop cliché imaginable spewed from the stage after he opened with the bangers "Phone Numbers" and "Gang Bang." Shots, sex and smoke were unifying motifs, manifested in varied lyrical patterns, bass-heavy beats and the occasional one-liner, plus obligatory guest spots. The Game (who turned up for "Celebration," featuring Wiz), tour mate Juicy J (of Three 6 Mafia), Big Sean (who surfaced late for his verse on "Gang Bang") and a random cameo from Tyga all amped up the energy in the venue, the way radio hits should.
At about 25 minutes in is where Wiz really won. Khalifa reeled in the gimmicks with a piano intro and a seamless segue into "The Cruise," a telling track off his Taylor Allderdice mixtape. The jazzy simplicity of the piece forced the crowd to settle in and listen to lines like "I'm just in the game, I ain't in love with it," which seemed to ring true for the rest of the night. The giant bong, the dancing joint, the saturation of swagger in song after song – while Wiz isn't immune to it, it doesn't seem to define him, at least not entirely.
All of 25 years old, Khalifa has figured out a formula to success that most artists can never check their ego long enough to execute. Standing out from the norm is something that has evolved for Wiz since he emerged in 2006. Back then, he bridged genres via fluid freestyles over instrumentals from indie bands (he's that dude who would spit bars over tunes from the Cure, Empire of the Sun and Bloc Party) only to come right back with a street corner haymaker even the saltiest hip-hop snob could appreciate.
And so was his formula. At this point, being different for Khalifa involves an all-encompassing aesthetic that manages to breathe life into a stale format. Wiz gives fans and critics alike a dose of familiarity while mixing in just enough freshness to be intrigued.
While the speculation about his 2050 Tour has centered on how effectively he would move into bigger venues, what this production proves is that Khalifa is rapidly maturing as an artist while still speaking the language of the "Young, Wild & Free." For every four songs he would hammer out that reinforced the ethos of money, weed and bravado, there would be a progressive exception like "Remember You," the second single off his forthcoming second album "O.N.I.F.C.," due Dec. 4. A collaboration with Canadian critical darling the Weeknd, the track illustrates the kind of songwriting that seems at odds with the typical "smoke weed with my ni**as" banter this audience couldn't get enough of.
He figured out hip-hop's prerequisites a long time ago. The smart move now is to solidify his standing as the star he has quickly become; his ability to cater to both the novice and the fanatic will see him through.

2006 Toyota Highlander ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
New Hybrid joins best-selling lineup.
A new gas-electric hybrid model has joined the Toyota Highlander line for 2006. The Highlander Hybrid uses Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive.
The Toyota Highlander is the best-selling vehicle of its type, a midsize sport-utility based on a car. Highlander's popularity is partly because it's a Toyota, which promises top-notch quality, durability and reliability. But it's also a result of its practicality and easy manner.
The Highlander is, after all, the easiest of motoring companions. Getting in and out couldn't be easier. Accommodating various combinations of people and cargo is easy. Seating for five comes standard, but the Highlander can carry up to seven passengers with the optional third-row seat. Folding the seats down reveals 80 cubic feet of cargo space.
Underway, it's smooth and quiet. Its independent suspension is set up for comfort and ride quality as a priority. The Highlander is based on the Lexus RX and offers much of what made that luxurious crossover SUV popular. In many ways, we like the Toyota better than the Lexus.
It's available with four-cylinder or V6 power, and a choice of front-wheel drive or full-time four-wheel drive. The standard Highlander with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive performs well around town and on the open highway, delivering responsive performance when merging into highway traffic. Equipped with the larger 3.3-liter V6 and all-wheel drive, the Highlander offers strong power and secure handling in nasty weather.
The new Highlander Hybrid is surprisingly powerful, more powerful than the regular V6 models. The Hybrid combines a 3.3-liter V6 with an electric motor, or two motors in the case of all-wheel-drive models. The electric motor improves acceleration, helping the Hybrid to easily keep up with big, powerful SUVs. This urge to speed comes at a major cost to fuel economy. It's estimated at just 33/28 mpg City/Highway by the EPA, and you may never see that. The real story here is emissions. The Highlander Hybrid will be classified by the government as a Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle, or SULEV. You could drive across America several times and emit fewer pollutants than someone painting a bedroom.
First introduced as a 2001 model, the Highlander was substantially revised for 2004. The 2005 models added more standard equipment. The Hybrid is new for 2006; the other models carry forward largely unchanged.
The Toyota Highlander is available in base or Limited trim, each with front-wheel drive or full-time all-wheel drive. A choice of three powertrains is now available: A 2.4-liter inline-4, rated at 160 horsepower, comes standard. A 3.3-liter V6 that produces 230 horsepower is optional on the base Highlander and standard on the Limited. The new Hybrid combines a 3.3-liter V6 with a high-torque electric drive motor-generator, a system called Hybrid Synergy Drive. Four-cylinder models come with a four-speed automatic transmission; V6 models get a five-speed automatic. The hybrid uses an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission, or CVT.
The base four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive Highlander ($24,530) comes with air conditioning, power windows and door locks, cruise control, cloth upholstery, and seating for five. The all-wheel-drive four-cylinder Highlander ($25,930) is similarly equipped as is the base front-wheel-drive Highlander V6 ($25,590). Same deal with the all-wheel-drive V6 Highlander ($27,840) except it comes standard with the third row.
Limited 2WD ($30,460) and Limited 4WD ($31,860) models come standard with the V6 and third row. The Limited also gets automatic climate control, an eight-speaker JBL sound system, eight-way power driver's seat with adjustable lumbar support, four-way power passenger seat, 17-inch aluminum wheels, roof rack, fog lights, rear privacy glass, heated mirrors, remote keyless entry with security system and engine immobilizer, wood-grain interior trim, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and other amenities.
The Highlander Hybrid is available with 2WD ($33,030) or 4WD ($34,430). The Hybrid is also available as a Limited 2WD ($37,890) or Limited 4WD ($39,290).
Leather-trimmed seating (Ivory or Ash Gray) is available for the Limited ($670) or base model ($2,255). Other options: tilt-and-slide glass sunroof ($900), in-dash six-CD changer ($595). The optional rear-seat DVD system ($1,770) includes two wireless headphones, RCA input jacks for video games, and a household-style 115-volt AC power outlet. GPS navigation ($2,200) is offered on Limited only. A Towing Package ($160) includes trailer wiring plus an upgraded radiator, transmission oil cooler, and 130-amp alternator.
Safety features start with the three-point seatbelts and headrests for all seating positions. The front seatbelts include pretensioners and force limiters. Seatbelts are your first line of defense in a crash. Wear them. The driver and passenger front airbags inflate according to collision severity, and the front-seat passenger sensor is designed to determine if there is a person in the seat as well as the person's weight category to determine whether the airbag should inflate and the correct inflation power.
Optional side-impact airbags mounted in the front seats are designed to provide torso protection, while side curtain airbags are designed to protect the heads of first- and second-row passengers in a side impact or rollover ($680). Be sure to order them. Head injuries are the primary cause of death in side impacts. The second-row seat is equipped with the LATCH system with top tether anchors for all three seating positions and lower anchors for outboard seating positions. A new low-tire-pressure warning system is standard.
The Star Safety System, standard on all models, includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and traction control, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist.
The Toyota Highlander looks smart and trim, falling somewhere between the edgy high style of the RAV4 and the muscular purposefulness of the 4Runner. There's a slight family resemblance between the Highlander and the Lexus RX 330, although the Highlander looks more dressed down, rather like wearing faded jeans and a favorite windbreaker instead of dry-clean-only lunch-with-the-ladies attire.
Highlander is slightly larger inside, as measured by total EPA interior volume, than the RX 330, although the Lexus has slightly more cargo volume.
Toyota design philosophy tends toward conservative appearance changes, and the Highlander lacks a cutting-edge design such as that of the Nissan Murano. Highlander's front and rear overhangs are relatively large, tending more toward a station wagon look. It's an attractive vehicle, though, particularly in profile. Highlander's front bumper, light clusters and grille were revised for 2004.
While the Toyota 4Runner is basically a truck, the Highlander is essentially a car. Like a car, the Highlander uses unibody construction rather than having a separate frame. And, like a car, the Highlander features a four-wheel independent suspension, rather than a solid rear axle. Two-wheel-drive versions are front-wheel drive, not rear-wheel drive. The 4Runner is the opposite of each of those strategies. The best choice? It comes down to your game: For towing and driving off road, the 4Runner is better. For commuting and transporting the family, the Highlander is the better, more comfortable choice. Properly equipped, Highlander can tow up to 3,500 pounds, not much by truck standards, but sufficient for personal watercraft, small boats and other toys.
Few vehicles are easier to get in and out of than a Toyota Highlander. Neither climbing up nor stepping down is required. Simply slide in. Highlander is even friendly to wearers of tight skirts. This makes the Highlander one of the most convenient vehicles available for running daily errands. The Highlander will not likely ever annoy you. There are walk-in steps and a second-row sliding seat to help access the third row of seats.
Highlander comes with reclining bucket seats in front. These seats are flat and lean, but supportive and comfortable and adjust to suit various-size drivers. Their higher ride height provides a commanding view of the road. The sloping hood of the Highlander makes the forward view even more encompassing. The front seats are designed to reduce the possibility of whiplash.
The second row seats up to three passengers, but is better for two. The center of the second-row seat folds down into an arm rest with cup holders, and the seats recline for additional comfort. It's split 60/40 and folds down with a cleverly articulated seat bottom. The second row folds fairly flat but not perfectly flat. The second-row seat slides forward to make access to the third row easier, and to provide more legroom for third-row passengers.
Toyota intends for the third row to be used only occasionally. It's uncomfortable for average-sized adults. We found our knees rode high, and there was minimal leg room, hip room and shoulder room. The third row is best for kids and short trips. Third-row seats are seldom comfortable, especially in this class. The Honda Pilot offers substantially more hip and shoulder room in the third row, but legroom is the same story. The Nissan Murano has no third row. Also, the side-curtain airbags do not protect third-row passengers; they do in a Toyota Sienna minivan. Bottom line: If you need the third row often, then you should consider a minivan. For transporting people, a minivan is better. Highlander's third-row seat does fold flat into the floor, with no need to remove the headrests, so you still get the greater cargo-carrying utility of an SUV. Third-row seats are packaged with rear privacy glass, a rear heater system with separate fan controls, and additional cup holders.
The driver will find everything in its place. Buttons for the power windows are right there on the doors where they should be. Radio and heater controls operate intuitively and use simple dials and amply sized buttons. Instruments are readily visible through a panoramic space in the comfortable four-spoke steering wheel. The whole layout indicates thoughtful appraisal and wise choices.
The Hybrid instrument panel includes a large screen to monitor energy use and battery condition/storage. It's interesting to watch how the power flows back and forth between the engine, electric motor(s) and transmission and then on to the driven wheels. It's a good way to teach your right foot how to be especially light on the throttle. You soon learn that only a slight increase in pedal pressure dips heavily into fuel and electric reserves, and it's not easy to conserve when the demands of surrounding traffic flow come into play.
Interior trim and fabrics in all Highlanders are conservative and generally tasteful. V6 models come with aluminum interior accents. Limited models come with simulated silver and burled maple wood-grain dash trim and door scuff plates, but the wood grain trim on the center stack looks like fake wood. The standard climate control is a single-zone system.
The shifter is uniquely positioned more as a part of the dash than on a central console. This opens up the space between the front seats. It also lends an open, unconfined air to the cockpit. The interior is outfitted with dome, door courtesy, glove box and cargo-area lighting. Map pockets, visor mirrors, and front and rear auxiliary power outlets are provided. The driver's window has one-touch Auto-down.
Driving Impression
The Toyota Highlander is easy to drive and operate. It feels instantly familiar with no fumbling for controls. The Highlander is quieter than truck-based SUVs both in engine and road noise. Highlander rides smoothly on a variety of surfaces, true to the car side of its SUV heritage, though some road vibration can be felt through steering wheel on rough surfaces.
The standard front-wheel-drive, four-cylinder Highlander makes a superb wagon for the city and suburbs. Traction control and electronic stability control and other accident-avoidance measures are standard equipment. Highlander is far easier to deal with on a daily basis than a truck-based sport-utility. Though you ride a little taller, you look eye to eye at Volvo wagon drivers.
The four-cylinder engine offers good power. It's quick, smooth and quiet, delivering 160 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque. We found the four-cylinder version to be a happy performer. We did not feel like we were missing something by not having the V6. The four-cylinder gets significantly better fuel economy than the V6 (22/27 vs. 19/25 mpg EPA-estimated City/Highway in 2WD trim). When equipped with the 4WD system, EPA mileage is one or two mpg lower, not a bad tradeoff for the all-weather capabilities of all-wheel drive. The four-speed automatic transmission features a Snow Mode for improved throttle control when accelerating from a standstill on a slippery surface.
The V6 is larger and more powerful, at 3.3 liters and 230 horsepower. Torque is increased significantly, to 242 pound-feet. Torque is that force that propels vehicles smartly away from intersections and up hills. Further enhancing engine smoothness are active-control motor mounts that cancel vibration. Toyota recommends using premium fuel for the V6, but it runs fine on regular. The V6 is mated to a five-speed automatic.
Highlander feels at home around town, amidst traffic lights and parking seekers. It's a good size for city streets and soaks up potholes and irregular pavement well. Rolling into suburbia, the Highlander fits right in. It's a natural mall-crawler, maneuverable and quick to nose into a parking slot. The steering effort is very light at low speeds, so it's easy to turn in tight quarters.
It cruises well on major highways, offering good stability and a smooth, quiet ride. It's a solid-feeling structure. Grip is quite good for hard cornering, better than expected. On winding roads, though, the steering felt slow and a bit vague. The suspension is too soft for serious hard driving, with significant body roll. Like a lot of cushy SUVs, it wallows in corners and the body leans.
Active safety features help the driver maintain control by reducing skidding. Toyota's electronic Vehicle Stability Control with traction control detects slipping of the front or rear wheels and reduces engine power and/or applies the brakes on individual wheels to correct the Highlander's course.
Braking is certain and smooth. ABS helps the driver maintain steering control under hard braking. Electronic Brake-force Distribution optimizes brake force at each wheel under different load conditions and as the car's weight shifts forward under braking for improved stability and reduced stopping distances. Brake Assist detects an emergency braking situation and automatically maintains enough brake pressure to engage the ABS even if the driver makes the mistake of relaxing pressure on the brake pedal.
All-wheel drive works great in slippery or inconsistent conditions. Snow melt, muddy ruts, icy patches on shadowed curves were easily handled by an AWD V6 Limited we drove on a meandering back road. The Highlander cut up hills covered in eight inches of newly fallen snow like a snowplow on a rescue mission. All-wheel-drive Highlanders use a permanently engaged system that splits torque 50/50 front/rear, and relies on the traction control to limit slippage at any wheel. Highlander is intended pri.
Toyota Highlander is an excellent choice as a versatile, no-hassle 4WD wagon. Its ease of operation and convenience features make it eminently easy to live with. Highlander carries four people in comfort, seven in a pinch, and hauls a lot of stuff. It is a competent all-weather performer. Toyota's reputation for quality, durability and reliability should mean trouble-free ownership and a strong resale value. Highlander provides what most people want from a modern, on-road sport-utility. The Highlander Hybrid delivers strong performance and emits 80 percent fewer smog-forming emissions than a conventionally powered SUV.

Anonymous Boy
Anonymous Boy is the pen name of the artist, writer, comics creator and filmmaker Tony Arena, who lives in New York.
The name Anonymous Boy was given to him by G.B. Jones, editor of J.D.s, when his first contribution appeared in that zine in the late 1980's. His drawings received much attention and after J.D.s stopped publishing his work began appearing in zines such as Outpunk, Speed Demon, The Burning Times, Aunt Franne, Teen Fag and many others. As well, he has provided art for records and posters by Pansy Division and Lone Wolves and for the cover of the queer punk compilation record Stop Homophobia #2, released by Turkey Baster Records.
He began releasing his own fanzines at this time, beginning with Anonymous Boy, a self-titled collection of his drawings and contributions to other zines. In 1996, he released his first film Green Pubes, the only animated queercore film ever made. Produced on Super 8 mm film, it employs a DIY technique of animation to great effect and has played at film festivals around the world. After the release of his film, he began the zine Homopunk World which features interviews, articles on queer punks and bands, and queer punk events.
In the 2000's he began to write a regular column for Maximum Rock 'N' Roll. As well, he continues to contribute to various publications and has been interviewed in zines such as Riot Boy.
Anonymous Boy has created the zines Homopunk World, Punk Rock Freakazoid, The Zine Sin?, Straight and Narrow and Anonymous Boy.
