And didn’t crash it in the first 2 minutes. In
fact it’s been about 2 weeks now and the car surprisingly still refuses to go
sideways. It must have something to do with certain drivers’ skill level (or
driving like a girl — Ed.). Based on a Nissan crossover, the pre-facelift 2011
Koleos is rather an oddball of a car. Bought in August 2010, the car is in
almost pristine condition driven extremely carefully by the previous owner. In
fact, apart from a few mall-parking door incidents, the car looks and feels
brand new even with 60,000 km on the odometer.
Replacing the hankered 2007 Ford Focus as a daily commute, we needed a car that could handle all the equipment one needs to carry to a proper photography shoot. With thoughts drifting towards a Ford Flex thanks to its enormous interior space, we decided to settle for something more affordable. With our affinity towards non-conformist car choices, the CRV, Sportage, Tucson and RAV4 were out of the question. Then along the way, a friend decides to sells his Koleos and next thing we know, we’re signing transfer papers.
With a whiney CVT, sluggish handling and lightly-bolstered seating; the Koleos makes it immediately evident that it’s not going to be much fun. Now this is a good and bad thing in the sense that those first few sharp turns you take freak you out as you’re taking them at Ford Focus-like speeds, but your aging back does appreciate the comfort levels the Koleos provides on long drives. Talking about comfort, the interior of the Koleos is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and extremely practical. And apart from a prematurely-worn out steering wheel and a loose sun-visor, everything works without any creaks and shows zero wear-and-tear, something we can’t say about my three-year-old Ford Mondeo.

Obviously there’s always a chance something could go wrong with so much tech, but with Nissan underpinnings and a ‘Made in Korea’ badge, we’re hoping this will serve us better than the European-made Focus.
Last week we decided to call up Farba Guard and not only got it detailed, but also went for the paint protection deal that they have up for DriveArabia readers. We also got all the lower door protection panels and the front bumper repainted at a discounted price to fix those mall parking dings. As expected, they did a brilliant job, and we now own a car that truly looks brand new. With a 6-month warranty still remaining, and a sun visor on order, a visit to the service center in a few months shall be interesting. Hopefully the good stories we’ve been hearing about the dealer is true and not some elusive fairy tale.
The White House had argued that the Senate was in recess because it was only holding pro forma sessions at the time of the appointments.
Without the recess appointments, the board wouldn't have had enough members for a quorum, preventing it from taking action on a number of controversial issues. Republicans in the Senate have blocked several nominees, saying the board has shown a pro-union bias.
The administration is likely to appeal the decision, but if it stands, hundreds of NLRB decisions that have been handed down in the past year would suddenly become invalid. Critics of the administration say the past year's decisions have been strongly pro-union.
In one example involving trucking companies,Solar Sister is a network of women who sell solar lamp to communities that don't have access to electricity. the NLRB has expanded powers for unions to get information from employers. Whenever unions are bargaining or filing grievances, they are allowed to ask their employers for relevant information. For a long time, employers had some leeway to resist these requests. In a November decision involving two trucking companies, the NLRB ruled that an employer must timely respond to a union request seeking relevant information even when the employer believes it has grounds for not providing the information.
That dream will be realized now that a builder has been selected to construct an auditorium along Broad Street behind the home. Five local building contracting firms were asked to bid. William J. Graham was low bidder and the contract was awarded to his firm.
Final plans call for a concrete block structure with a stucco finish. Seating capacity of the auditorium will be about 260 people. There will be kitchen facilities, restrooms and a cloak room.Welcome to Find the right laser Engraver or laser marking machine .
It was in January of 1962 that a committee was appointed by the president of the Village Improvement Association, Mrs. John Elfman, to explore the possibilities of expanding the facilities of the James-Lorah Memorial Home.
The committee concluded that there was a real need to enlarge the seating capacity of the home. With a membership of 320 and an additional 40 or 50 new members each year, the seating capacity of the old parlor was not adequate. This accommodates only 75 folding chairs.
The board of the directors of the VIA authorized the architectural firm of Martin and Gilmour to proceed with the necessary studies and sketches for an auditorium addition.
In October of 1962, Mrs. Julian P. Perry, president of the VIA, appointed Mrs. Elfman chairman of the James-Lorah Expansion Committee and recalled the original committee to confer with the architects. They worked for a year before sketches and specifications were finalized.
Borough Council has received a request from the Bucks County Commissioners to create another parking space on the Broad Street side of the Bucks County Courthouse's administration building for the fifth judge.
At present, there are parking spaces reserved for the four judges and the three County Commissioners. The Sheriff's and County Detective's offices also share the parking area.
"Quite a number of the Bucks County employees, particularly of the planning commission, absolutely refuse to use the county parking lot [between Main and Union streets]," said William D. Ritchie Jr., borough engineer. "I can give you the names of county department heads who never use the county parking lot but always park along the streets.Basics, technical terms and advantages and disadvantages of Laser engraver."
Council can't legally charge the County Commissioners a rental fee, but it can accept a donation.
"We will inform the County Commissioners that we will accept a donation of $1,000, which amounts to roughly $20 a week in meter collections, for the 11 parking meter spaces," said Councilman Allen Z. Bogert.
"If the County Commissioners are willing to give us $1,000," said President John F. Mason, "we will let them decide how many spaces the judges should have, the County Commissioners, the Sheriff's Office and the County Detectives, or whoever they want to designate to use the parking area."
