Officials at the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced Monday additional delays to completion of the first phase of the $5.6 billion Silver Line rail extension.

Pat Nowakowski, executive director of the rail project, said that additional tests related to the Automatic Train Control System need to be completed before the project can be turned over to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. He did not offer a timeline for when the tests would be completed except to say it would take several weeks.

“This is why we test,” he said. “Our guiding principle throughout this process has been ‘safety first’ and we remain committed to that principal. We will not do anything that might compromise safety or create unsafe conditions for the traveling public.”

This is the second delay in recent months. In July, MWAA officials announced an eight-week delay in completion of the project, which pushed the original timeline from September to November. At last month’s Metrop0litan Washington Airports Authority’s board meeting, Nowakowski said it appeared the first phase would be turned over to WMATA by the end of November.

Nowakowski said recent testing identified needed software modifications to the Automatic Train Control System. The contractor is in the process of making the changes to ensure the control system performs properly. In June, the head of the Federal Transit Administration raised concerns about unauthorized changes made by the contractor to the control system, one of the key safety mechanisms on the Silver Line and the same system whose failure caused the 2009 Red Line crash that killed nine people.

Once complete, the changes have to be approved by WMATA and the Airports Authority. MWAA is overseeing construction of the rail line — one of the largest infrastructure projects in the country, which will include four stops in Tysons and one in Reston. One the first phase is completed, it will be turned over to WMATA for additional testing.

Any delay in passenger service could be expensive for Metro. Each month passenger service is delayed could cost Metro an estimated $2 million to $3 million in revenue, officials said.

"Can I go see them?"

I never realized where they went until I was ten.

"What were they like?"

I know what killed them. And I want revenge.

"Are you Cass and Max' daughter?"

I have to lie. They wouldn't approve of it but I have to.

I look at my little brother and sister as they play with Adam and Alesa's dogs.

They won't understand. But I want to protect them from the truth.

Because that's what big sisters do.. Right?

Jessica Madden By JessicaCMadden Completed

Ruby has woken up from an accident that claims the life of her family, not remember who she is and loses the ability to speak. With nowhere to go, her doctor takes her home to take care of her and hopefully to help her learn how to speak again.

Even though she doesn't remember anything, there is something about the doctor's son, Tyler. She swears she has seen him before but has no idea where. As she gets to know him, she begins to fall for him. There is just one problem: he is already dating someone and Ruby knows she doesn't have a chance with him, but Tyler might just be the key to remembering everything about herself, as well as the sound of music.

Weston Silver Band wins big in U.S.

On March 11, the Weston Silver Band competed in the annual North American Brass Band Championships and were judged to be best of ten bands in the First Section (think divisions) winning a gold medal. WSB was the only Canadian entry out of 33 other bands. In 2013 the band placed top in the Second Section; the first Canadian band to do so.

The Band celebrates its win.
Weston Silver Band at the North American Brass Band Championships, held in Fort Wayne, Indiana on March 11, 2017.

The Weston Silver Band has an interesting history. Before immigrating to Canada, George Sainsbury, started a band in the U.K which survives to this day. Once he arrived in our neck of the woods, he formed what began as the Weston Boy’s Band in 1921 and has flourished ever since, keeping its Weston links by performing annually in the Weston Santa Claus Parade. Although at the present time there are no members who live in Weston, the band is very proud of its roots in the Weston community and keeps extensive archives of its history. Practices are still held locally every week at the Salvation Army’s York Community Church on 1100 Weston Road in Mount Dennis. The band began to draw musicians from further and further afield from Weston beginning in the late 1970s.

For their upcoming performances, click here.

Band Manager Theresa MacDonald kindly sent me some archival photos of WSB that illustrate its proud Weston heritage.

George Sainsbury and his wife.

Weston Boys Band 1924- Music Director George Sainsbury, Taken at Dr. Irwin’s Estate on Little Ave, in Weston.

Theresa tells me that when the band played in Gravenhurst last year, George Sainsbury’s grandson approached them with a music case belonging to the founder. This treasured item is now stored with the many trophies and other memorabilia gathered over the years.

BIA planning multicultural festival

The Weston BIA is looking for your help with their annual multicultural festival. The BIA would like community groups and organizations to show their support for the festival with a letter they can use to apply for grants.

“We’re doing this because it’s Canada 150th,” O’Sullivan said. “Right now there’s been so much said about divisiveness in our society because of all the stuff that Trump is saying and doing. We’re a very united community here and we want people to know that we welcome everyone.”

Local blogger ponders Weston bone discovery.

Hans Havermann has lived in Weston for more than half a century and writes a blog mainly about mathematics and puzzles. Occasionally Hans turns his powerful mind to local thoughts and happenings such as the Denison Road underpass, his neighbourhood,  and Raymore Park. Like Weston Web, his blog has been going since 2010 and helpfully, articles are accessible by date and title so that readers can comb through the archives. This is a great site if you’re a fan of math and puzzles; an added bonus is the content of local interest.

Once Hans gets his teeth into something, he’s relentless. Sparked by a WestonWeb article on the proposed Wilby Crescent apartments, he wondered why its address is on Wilby rather than Hickory Tree where maps clearly place it. While looking for older maps of the ever changing streets of Weston, he found an article on the above photograph of bones discovered near Weston Road, south of Lawrence and decided to do some digging of his own (yes, I know). As a result of his research, he believes that the site of the bones was not as commonly believed at Weston Park Baptist Church but on a now demolished church property across the street on Bellevue.

You might want to subscribe to Hans’ blog and if you can help in his quest for more information, he’d be very interested.

Ezra Levant praises Ahmed Hussen

Ezra Levant is a an abrasive right-wing commenter on all things political. He reports for Rebel Media and has a lot to say about the Liberal government – most of it sharply critical. On Friday, he had a few things to say about our MP Ahmed Hussen’s recent promotion. In Levant’s video piece from last Friday, January 13, he shows Hussen in extracts from CSPAN, testifying in 2011 to a U.S. Congress Homeland Security committee concerned with the radicalization of recent immigrants, particularly those from Somali communities south of the border. In the first clip, he states,

I’m a Canadian Muslim who is proud of his faith and heritage, and I truly believe that the Canadian and American values of liberty, democracy, rule of law, human rights and respect for minorities do complement and work neatly with the tenets of my faith.

Levant likes Hussen’s stance on immigrants and their need to adopt Canadian values. Levant thinks that this viewpoint is in sharp contrast to the one held by the the Liberal Party and in particular, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The video is posted below. Thanks to commenter ‘Westonarian’ for the tip.

Melodies under the mistletoe

While the snow fell down in buckets, Weston Colligate institute held their annual winter concert. The frightful weather didn’t hold any of the talents back, however. With performances from the school’s concert band, jazz band, choir, strings orchestra and countless solo acts; everyone in the audience had the time of their lives seeing the students perform. Parents, friends, students and community members braved the frigid temperatures to come see the show.

The choir kicked the night off, singing songs from hit musicals, and the classic Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis. As the night drew on the strings orchestra, Jazz and concert band played amazing instrumentals, that left the crowd speechless. The solo acts included piano duets, guitar ensembles, and even a beautiful singing solo. Every student involved in music at Weston brings their own unique sound and life to the school and music at Weston would not be the same if even just one of them was not there.

“I’ve been in the band for three years, and the winter concert is my favourite event. It really shows you how hard we’ve worked and really gets you in the holiday mood”, was what Italia Santoyo, a grade 11 student at Weston, had to say about the annual event.

The music department at Weston is run by Mr. Nadalin and is one of Weston’s most popular groups. He works tirelessly year-round to make sure that all the students involved in the music program are able to nurture their talents and showcase them to the world. Whether it be through encouraging them, teaching them and putting together two yearly concerts, Mr. Nadalin never fails to do an amazing job with his musicians. In a time where careers in the arts and music are looked down upon, Mr. Nadalin always makes sure his students know that they are extremely talented and never fails to make sure their talent is being appreciated.

“I’m really excited to perform but I don’t want to mess up. I’ve never played in front of a big crowd so I’m nervous and excited” –Isabella Truong, grade 9.

The bands and music council have been putting this concert together since the beginning of the school year, and their hard work was truly shown that night. Although the turnout was not as large as years previous, due to extreme weather; the enthusiasm of the musicians never faltered as they played and sang their hearts out. From heartwarming songs to classic holiday favourites, the band’s passion seemed to radiate off them and warmed the hearts of the guests.

While the weather outside was very frightful, the show was oh so delightful!

Mount Dennizen gets Governor General’s nomination!

Now here’s a first: a local writer has been nominated for the Governor General’s Award.

41v1gpecbylDonna-Michelle St. Bernard’s play A Man, A Fish is one of a series she’s written inspired by the countries in Africa. In it, a fisherman named Prosper is duped by an eel salesman, whose wares wreak havoc on the town and ecology. (I’ll tell you more when I finish it!)

The GGs will be announced on October 25.

An artistic takeover

Rainy afternoons in October usually call for hot chocolate and Halloween movies; however, this October 1st, the Falstaff Community centre, and Urban Arts hosted a spectacular event. For almost a year, thirty dedicated youth from the York South-Weston area gathered together to create a phenomenal mural that is now covering the outer walls of the Falstaff Community Centre, located at 50 Falstaff Avenue. October 1st, 2016, was the official unveiling.

Over the course of over eight months, thirty students from the  area worked with Adobe Photoshop, photography, silk screening, and even got trained to use a scissor lift, all to create a masterpiece that would soon become a landmark in the area.

I was told by Shah Ashraf Mohamed, a program manager at UrbanArts (and one the people who ensured this program did so well) that “the best part of this whole project was watching the youth transform from knowing so little about art, to finding passions and loving the work they did.”

img_8481 img_8473

All the students involved began their artistic journeys differently; Italia Santoyo and Dylan Kitchener, who were both involved in the mural’s creation, found out about the program from their art and photography teachers, whereas Jerlie Thorpe, who is extremely interested in the arts, was encouraged by the girl’s group club at her school. (which is also run by UrbanArts). Despite coming from different backgrounds, all the young artists were brought together by one thing: a love and passion for art.

“I’m so grateful for UrbanArts. I love art and all the time people tell you that art is so hard to get into and you’re never going to get a job if you want to study anything in the arts. But Urban Arts helped me see that it doesn’t matter if people don’t believe in you. If art makes you happy, make art” –Italia Santoyo.

The mural is composed of visual art, photography, silk screen and Photoshop work, all comprised into the masterpiece that is now complete. Students worked with various groups including Gallery 44, a non-profit center committed to photography, who taught them skills about their passions, which they then used to create the artwork.

UrbanArts is a community group dedicated to bringing arts programs to communities in the city of Toronto. Every program run by the group involves professional artists and helps develop and engage culture into communities in need. With partners including the Ontario Arts Council, Microsoft, TELUS, UrbanArts has been making a difference in the lives of many kids since they started.

With art being one of the most highly criticized and toughest paths anyone can take, many young people feel intimidated and scared about pursuing their passions. UrbanArts is changing that. From speaking to the young people involved, and seeing how passionate the program organizers were, I could tell that this project has made a difference. Being a creative person, I know how intimidating and worrisome perusing my passions can be. Seeing fellow creative people flourishing and doing something they are passionate about gave me hope. I am proud to say I live in a community that hosted such an amazing event, and I hope any aspiring artists that see all the amazing work that went into this project will be motivated to keep perusing their dreams.

Frequently asked questions

How does work?

We work with thousands of garages across the country. It's simple - just tell us what's wrong, or what work is needed, and Southend mechanics and specialists around Southend will respond with their estimated repair price. You can see their reviews, ask questions and book in online. It's completely free to use, and thousands already do, every week.

What sort of garages does work with?

We work with independent local garages, mobile mechanics, specialists and Main Dealers in Southend - everyone, really. That way we ensure we give you a thorough overview of garages in Southend when servicing or repairing your car.

Will independent garages service my car to Franchised Dealer Standards?

All independent garages (in Southend or beyond) will be able to look up the Dealer Servicing Specifications for your car and follow them to the letter, if requested.
Can I request other (non-servicing) repairs via this website?
Yes you can. In truth, Servicing accounts for less than half of the work we see on the website. The majority is other repair/maintenance work, such as Southend clutch repairs, brakes, exhausts, cambelts. That said, anything is possible - we regularly see requests for restoration, stereo upgrades, Southend convertible roof repairs, you name it!
Can I request servicing / repair to high-performance, specialist or classic cars?
Absolutely. Because we work with thousands of garages across the UK, including specialists, we've seen plenty of unusual cars over the years, including Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and more. Just post your job as normal. Garages beyond Southend will often offer to collect your car in person.
+What sort of parts will Southend garages use on my car?
A Main Dealer will usually use original parts on your car. Independent Southend garages and specialists are able to source parts from a variety of sources, including original parts, aftermarket parts and even used parts. They will usually discuss this with you when finalising the details of your repair or service.
+What should I do if I don't actually know what's wrong with my car?
Don't worry - that's very common. Simply describe the symptoms as you're experiencing them, and our mechanics in Southend will use their experience to diagnose the issue and give you an estimate for fixing it.

Why Christmas Should Bother Everybody

Just a few weeks ago, at a ceremony for the lighting of the national Christmas tree, President Obama remarked on the meaning of the season. Here are some of the things he said:

“Over these next few weeks, as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, as we retell the story of weary travelers, a star, shepherds, Magi, I hope that we also focus ourselves on the message that this child brought to this Earth some 2,000 years agoa message that says we have to be our brother’s keepers, our sister’s keepers; that we have to reach out to each other, to forgive each other. To let the light of our good deeds shine for all. To care for the sick, and the hungry, and the downtrodden. And of course, to love one another, even our enemies, and treat one another the way we would want to be treated ourselves. It’s a message that grounds not just my family’s Christian faith but that of Jewish Americans, Muslim Americans, non-believers—Americans of all backgrounds.”

Now in a way, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with these ideas and sentiments. Who could possibly be against treating others with respect, offering forgiveness for offenses, and caring for those in need? And I certainly don’t blame President Obama for making these remarks. Both Democrat and Republican presidents, in their capacity as chief magistrates of the civil religion, have expressed similar convictions for many years. What does bother me, however, is reducing Christmas to a level so low, so banal, that the great Christian feast is offensive to precisely no one. If President Obama is right, even those who profess no belief in God should welcome Christmas with nothing but enthusiasm! But this sort of reductionism is, in fact, directly repugnant to a feast which, in its essence, is revolutionary, subversive, and, if properly understood, offensive to just about everyone.

What could I possibly mean? Well, if we take an honest look at the Biblical texts dealing with Christmas, we will find that they have precious little to do with sentimentality, or the embracing of a common morality, or the cultivation of a “let’s all get along” attitude. In the second chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, we read of the visit of the Magi, astrologers from “the east,” probably from Babylon where a quasi-scientific star-gazing discipline was cultivated. They let it be known that they were in search of “the newborn king of the Jews,” whose star they had observed at its rising. When this news was spread about, was it met with delight, enthusiasm, excitement, and sentimental feelings? Hardly. Listen to what Matthew tells us: “When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.”

Why would the arrival of a tiny baby, who would grow up to bear a message of love, have excited such negativity? We must remember that the child is described as a king, which means someone who comes to rule; more precisely, he is characterized as king of the Jews, and this was the very title that Herod claimed. Therefore, Herod, quite correctly, saw him as a threat to his prerogatives and position. But why would the entire capital be in an uproar? We must recall what the Bible consistently says about cities, that is, the way we human beings typically organize ourselves politically, socially, and culturally. Cain, the murderer of Abel, is the founder of cities; Babel, full of arrogance and imperialistic designs, is seen as a typical city; and Jesus himself implied that the devil controls all the cities of the world. The trembling of all of Jerusalem at the birth of the baby king is a function of the demand that that king will eventually make, the change that his rule will affect. Just to drive this point home, Matthew tells us that Herod, having been duped by the Magi, furiously lashed out, ordering the murder of every boy in Bethlehem under two years of age. Not exactly the reaction of someone who is just delighted that the Christmas season has arrived!

If we examine Luke’s account of the birth of Jesus, we find very similar motifs. Luke sets up his story as the tale of two rival Emperors: Caesar, the king of the world, and Jesus, the baby king. While Caesar rules from his palace in Rome, Jesus has no place to lay his head; while Caesar exercises rangy power, Jesus is wrapped in swaddling clothes; while Caesar surrounds himself with wealthy and sophisticated courtiers, Jesus is surrounded by animals and shepherds of the field. And yet, the baby king is more powerful than Augustus—which is signaled by the presence of an army (stratias in the Greek) of angels in the skies over Bethlehem. All four of the Gospels play out as a struggle, culminating in the deadly business of the cross, between the worldly powers and the power of Christ. For Jesus is not simply a kindly prophet with a gentle message of forgiveness; he is God coming in person to assume command. He is the Lord. And the entire New Testament couldn’t be clearer that his Lordship means that all those who follow a contrary rule—meaning, pretty much every one of us—are under judgment.

To be sure, the distinctive mark of Jesus’ Lordship is love, compassion, forgiveness, and non-violence—but this is not the stuff of sentimentality and warm feelings. It is a provocation, a challenge, a call to conversion of the most radical kind.

  1. Just kidding. Jed is part of starting this adventure so he deserves credit
  2. Or pay to lock him up
  3. Agreed. 9 bln is a 'significant' amount
  4. Fisrst of all @JoelKatz @miguel thx for sharing your thoughts with us. Your transparency and openness inspires trust. Regarding the price getting out of control please consider a price driven distribution strategy as proposed by me in this thread. That is supply of XRP linked to a desired price growth percentage. Maybe I am overlooking something but until now I haven't seen any real argument against it. To fulfill your need for flexibility you could set aside some 'free' XRP. As long as it is within limits. It's the bigger amount that creates uncertainty.
  5. Don't think I agree. Just like @will4star explained is it how you setup the negative feedback loop. You don't base it on a fixed price but on price growth. This is where the analogy with the steam machine regulator breaks down as it is based on a fixed RPM not an increasing RPM.
  6. Just like the regulator on the steam machine keep it simple and elegant. If the RPM is above the desired level the centrifugal force will force the weights further outwards which chokes the steam inlet. If the RPM is below the desired level steam inlet is automatically increased. The system keeps itself in balance. So for example if a third party tries to flood the market with XRP to negatively impact the price automatically the XRP supply by Ripple is lowered to counteract the effect. Still think the principle could work. Of course I understand you need to do some serious financial modeling to choose the correct parameters.
  7. Would really like to understand why a price driven escrow distribution would not work. Generally speaking as long as supply lags behind demand I would think there is an upward pressure on price. If price rises to fast you increase supply untill growth is within the desired bandwidth again. This could be automated. But maybe I am missing something here. In any case as I stated in the other thread. The uncertainty about distribution is more killing than the specifics of a distribution system.
  8. sells XRP. You can even pay with IDEAL. Same as Anycoin only the latter does not sell/buy XRP. Used Anycoin recently to sell some ETH for EUR. Send the ETH Saturday late afternoon. Money was in my bank account Monday. Just be sure to go to level 5 account level to be able to sell large amounts just in case XRP goes to the moon.
  9. I am not sure I am following you. A fixed amount over time gives predictably on the supply side. Not on demand side development. Both elements are essential for price development. Ripple cannot disclose partnership etc. still underway. A price driven supply velocity covers both aspects. You can set a desirable price growth percentage and let the escrow based distribution system automatically control the XRP supply to keep it at the desired level.
  10. In the 'countering the Damocles effect' thread I proposed the idea of linking the supply of XRP to price development. If the price rises to fast, the supply increases and vice versa. Of course in an automated Escrow construction. Linking to the price also factors in the demand development. A pure time driven Escrow does not. Thinking about it I like the analogy of the steam regulator on a steam machine which increases/decreased steam dependent on RPM. It somewhat even resembles the Ripple logo with the balls.
  11. Maybe but I honestly believe that transparency (in a sensible way) will be beneficial for RL as well as for investors. RL is not just a larger stakeholder in a free market. With the amount of XRP RL owns they are more like a government who can decide how much money they want to put into circulation. Nothing wrong with that. It's their technology. I only hope (expect) that they will do this in a sensible and transparent way benefitting all stakeholder incl. themselves. I think a price driven escrow distribution plan can serve that purpose.
  12. Not sure I follow you. It is as much in RL interest to increase price of XRP as it is for investors. Don't see a conflict of interest here.
  13. Probably there is more than one way to skin the cat. The main goal is to take the uncertainty of huge amounts of XRP suddenly hitting the market out of the equation. My hypothesis is that as long as this Sword of Damocles is above the market (or perceived that way) that this will not help XRP price development. The whole Jed thing is unfortunate but more or less under control as it is limited and pegged to trade volume. I don’t know about the charity mechanics but I assume something similar is in place. The OTC part is under lockup agreements (would like to know the details BTW). This leaves the huge amount of ‘free’ XRP in the hands of Ripple. A pure time driven distribution plan, although providing some transparency, has the disadvantage of being only one part of the equation. If for example the supply for any given period is twice the market demand you will still see the price go down. That’s why I propose a price driven distribution plan. Maybe instead of a tier based approach you could even make it a continuum in which supply velocity is determined by the rate of price change. For example if the price change per week (or whatever period) is equal or smaller than X% supply of XPR is halted (or even bought back). Between X% and the desired Y% it will be 100% of Z amount/period. Above Y% the supply will double, triple etc. until price changes is again within the desired bandwidth. Setting the right parameters of course will take some calculating by people smarter than me (and with inside information) especially if afterwards you are going to set it in stone (Escrow). But I think such a principle could work. In any case XRP distribution (Jed, charity, OTC, the rest) should be transparent. Uncertainty is more killing than the specifics of the distribution system.
  14. Based on a discussion in another thread I would like to propose the following idea to @Tim, @miguel, @nikb, @JoelKatz, @Vinnie Price is determined by Supply and Demand. As long as both of these are unclear the market as a whole will not invest into XRP. After all a sudden large inflow of XRP could significantly affect XRP price. The so-called Sword of Damocles effect. We understand that Ripple cannot disclose what’s happening behind the scenes in terms of new partnerships, parties about to live, OTC schemes etc. thus limiting investor view on Demand development. You could disclose a time based distribution plan giving insight into the Supply side however as long as Demand development is unclear it is still impossible to take a view on price development. If the Supply rate is more than Demand growth the price will still be negatively affected. Therefore please consider a price driven distribution plan. If XRP price reaches X USD (or EUR, JPY, whatever.) then Y amount of XRP will be released. Then to the next price point etc. This way Supply will track Demand without Ripple needing to disclose sensitive information. This gives the market a good idea of how the price can develop. Preferably this distribution plan is automated in an Escrow format. To fund your operations you can reserve a fixed amount of XRP for ‘free’ distribution. This amount should however be small enough not to disturb the above dynamic. What do you guys think?
  15. If you mean by fund management the ability to fund the company then I still think a combination could be made. Set apart a disclosed amount for funding. In a price driven distribution system there will always be a perceived scarcity (assuming demand grows) thus I rising price as well. Which means less and less of the fund XRP's need to be used. In other words the XRP fund can stay small enough not to influence the price dynamic too much. Thinking and discussing about it I am starting to like the idea more and more. I will start a new thread rewording and summarizing the idea and see if we can get some of the Ripple guys to react

Watch Blue's Clues

Blue's Clues is an extremely popular children's show that aired on Nickelodeon. The aim of the show was to help kids develop their critical thinking and analytical skills by solving puzzles, entertaining them with jokes and humor along the way. The only characters who appear in every show are the host, named Steve for the first several years of the show and replaced by Joe afterwards, and Blue, small blue dog. The host is the only live action part of the show; everything else is animated.

Each episode of the show has a very distinct and regular format. It begins with the host, Steve or Joe, introducing some problem or puzzle that needs to be solved. Throughout the episode, the host will converse directly with the audience by asking questions or making comments to which kids watching the show at home are supposed to respond, thereby offering their own help to solve the puzzle. Blue marks three objects around the house as clues to the puzzle with her paw print, which the host then goes looking for to solve the puzzle. As the host finds these clues at intervals, he also goes through a series of smaller miniature puzzles with the audience.

At the conclusion of each episode, the host sits in what he designates the Thinking Chair to ponder over the clues he has found. He makes the audience aware of his thought processes and again asks them for help in discovering what exactly Blue wants them to know.

Nickelodeon began airing the first season of "Blue's Clues" in September of 1996. Steven Burns acted as the show's host through the fourth season, which ended in April of 2002. Burns's reasons for leaving the show were almost instantly turned into the subject of all sorts of rumors, but he has stated that he left to experiment with music and because he didn't envision himself growing old working for a children's show. Before his time on the show was over however, Nickelodeon aired three episodes with both Steve and Joe as hosts to ease the transition for the kids. Joe was played by Donovan Patton through the show's sixth season, which ended in 2006.

The show has sparked an array of different book titles, interactive computer games, a direct-to-video movie called Blue's Big Musical Movie, and another spin-off show called Blue's Room. Currently, there are plans to bring the show back for a seventh season in 2013.

A Buyer’s Guide to the 2012 Volvo XC90

Volvo XC90 2012

While the trend seems to be the bigger the vehicle the better, the 2012 Volvo XC90 proves that you can combine seven-passenger seating with a smaller size – without overly sacrificing comfort. For those who want a smaller footprint but want to haul the family and a few toys, this SUV might be a great fit.

Key Features

Numerous safety features, including a child safety seat that slides, a steel reinforced passenger compartment and the available Blind Spot Monitoring and rain-sensing wipers make the 2012 Volvo XC90 a great family SUV. Throw in a V6 engine that offers acceptable power and can handle towing up to 4,960 pounds, and you have an SUV well worth considering.

Changes for 2012

One of the most significant changes for 2012 was the discontinuation of the available V8 engine, which means the 3.2-liter V6 is now the only option. With two models available, the R-Design or 3.2, and a host of trim packages, you’re likely to find the option that’s right for your needs. All models also received the Caspian Blue color option and Bluetooth connectivity, and the R-Design was upgraded to xenon headlights and 20-inch alloy wheels.

What We Like

The overall safety and practicality of the 2012 Volvo XC90 are major considerations for many buyers. A stability control system and a wider track make for acceptable road performance, while the available center child seat that slides ups the safety factor for families.

What Concerns Us

Those who require the third row seating should be aware that doing so greatly reduces the available cargo space, which could make long trips a bit cramped. The cabin also leaves a bit to be desired when compared with other models available in this class.

Available Models

There are two models available for the 2012 Volvo XC90; the 3.2 and the R-Design. Both models are available with either all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive. There are also numerous premium and platinum level trim packages that are available for each model. All available options use the same 3.2-liter V6 engine, which offers 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The front-wheel drive options deliver a city/highway fuel economy of 16/22 mpg, and the all-wheel drive provides 16/22 mpg.

Major Recalls

There have been no major recalls issued for the 2012 Volvo XC90. However, there are 10 service bulletins issued.

Common Issues

There are also no common complaints concerning this SUV.

A: It is possible that you could have flooded ...

It is possible that you could have flooded the carb when you adjusted the air/fuel screw. I would keep the screw where it is at and let the scooter sit for a while to let the fuel disperse. Once the scooter has sat for a while, keep trying to start it and it should start up as long as the screw is adjusted to the same location that it was in the last time it was running correctly.

The engines are fairly identical, but the manufacturer made a few upgrades on the newer model engine. You should have swapped all of the fuel system parts and electronics from the old engine to the new one. The intake manifold, oil pan, injector rail, and everything and any parts that broke should be replaced with new parts made for the 2002 model so they match the vehicle. If you need help with this, consider hiring an experienced technician, like one from YourMechanic, who’s willing to come out and inspect what’s going on with the broken and mixed parts and offer a more personal solution.
