I have had a Subzero refrig/freezer for 6 years and no issues with it at all. 

Redfin is your friend.  You can use it to search by village and compare list vs close prices

Common core or current method-  waivers are a problem in the classroom.  Some kids just aren't ready and the parents push them in anyways.  Then the teachers slow down the pace of the class because of these kids-  which frustrates the other students.  Next year is going to be challenging for all...
