Honda Civic Brake Questions
bells1 Posts: 7Thank you so much for your advice. My 2nd opinion said he thought it was an excellent to good rating and didn't have any idea what the other guy was talking about! Pay it forward...I'll make sure to tell others how helpful your advice and this site are! Have a great day!0
paul021577 Posts: 1Did you ever got an answer on your civic break problem? I have a 97 civic and the same thing happened to me today. Can you please let me know what the problem was and what was the solution?
Thank you!

I have had my Honda Civic for a little over 6 months and just this last weekend road in the passenger seat. I knew the ride was rough but not so bad in driver seat. Is there anything that can be done to smooth out the ride?0
Buy a sedan - it has a softer suspension.0
You could check the tire pressure and let out a few pounds, and I guess you could install more compliant shocks/struts. Are you using stock tires or something very low profile?0
The tires are the ones that were on it when I bought it. I considered perhaps tires and shocks. My husband thought that anything different as far as shocks would change the way it handled. Thanks for the info...I'll check into both.0
Well with better shocks that factory, it might handle better.0
Where are you going to get more compliant dampers or springs? OEM is as soft as it gets. Koni only has their sport model dampers out - too firm. Tokico sells dampers as well, but only from a little more aggressively damped non-adjusable HPs to a even firmer adjustable HTS model.0
I don't have a clue about what or where...open to suggestions. OEM? Will this be costly? Thought about going back to dealership that sold me the car and trying to trade, but would probably get "screwed' in the deal.0
Good point but I was using the term "compliant" to mean "responsive through a wide range of conditions". This is not the same as "soft". I guess a better definition of a "compliant" shock, in terms of upgrading from OEM, would be "more sophisticated response".
So it's more like "agrees with the condition it is working under".0
I bought a 1995 Civic just a couple months ago. Just recently, the brakes on the car became very spongy. The brake pads are still in excellent condition still. I bought 4 calipers, a brake booster box, and a new master cylinder. My boyfriend and I bled the new master cylinder before we put it on the car. When we bled the brakes on the car, while off, the brakes were nice and firm. When I turned the car on to take it for a test drive, the brakes went straight to the floor with no resistance. My boyfriend got in the car to see if he could feel anything different, and pumped the brakes the 3 times. The brakes firmed for a few seconds, but then lost all firmness. All we have left is the proportion valve and brake lines that we haven't fixed. The car whines like a dying animal when the brakes are being applied. We cannot find any air leakage, but can hear what sounds like air escaping. We also checked under the car for any brake fluid that could be leaking from a broken line, but couldn't find anything. Is there anyone who can suggest something I can try doing? I am starting to run out of options and I don't know what to do. I would be very appreciative of any help I can get!0
I'd say a power bleeder is in order. Also I don't see how you could effectively bleed the master when it's off the car.
The booster should not affect the pedal in that way. If the booster fails, you'd get a pedal that is very hard, not soft.
The only way a booster could do this is if it sucks all the brake fluid out of the master cylinder and burns it (through a vacuum diaphragm leak).0
In my manual, it said to bleed the master cylinder before putting it on the car, this is why we did that. Also, something I forgot to mention, the brake system on the car is Integra.0
so how do you "stroke" the cylinder with it out of the car? How can you pump it, or do you just let it drain out for a while?
Ah, you've modified the car...well, that could mean it's a free for all, in terms of causes.0
Bleeding the master cylinder prior to installing it is called bench bleeding. This is what the instructions with the new cylinder said to do.
It wasn't me who modified the car, it was that way when I purchased it. The car originally had abs, but when they installed a different motor, etc.., the car now does not have abs. Could this have anything to do with the issues I am having?0
Gee I dunno. Which car does the master cylinder belong to. Did you buy one for an Acura or a Civic?
I think what I would do if I were you is bleed the master in place by removing all the lines and plugging the holes with the right metric or ISO brass plugs.
Once it is bleed, at least you know THAT'S right.
As for what else can cause the pedal to drop all the way----maybe the wrong thickness of rotor, the wrong pads, etc--what i'm driving at here is that the caliper pistons, or rear wheel cylinders, are extending out too far.0
The master cylinder is for an Acura, the one for the Civic is a totally different one. Ok, question, if the caliper pistons, or rear wheel cylinders, are extending out too far, why are the brakes hard when the car is not turned on? Is this something that is normal, and I have just never noticed it?0
Okay, now the story is changing. Are you saying the pedal stays HARD when the car isn't running, and goes to the floor when you start the car?0
This is what I put in my first post:When we bled the brakes on the car, while off, the brakes were nice and firm. When I turned the car on to take it for a test drive, the brakes went straight to the floor with no resistance.
What I meant was, if it wasn't clear, is that when the car is off, the brakes were nice & firm, and when I started it, the brakes go straight to the floor. So yes to what you asked.0
Okay, got it. And this is the current situation as well? Car off, brakes hard, car on, brakes go to floor?
Very bizarre.....I'm scratching my head here.....maybe there's a bad check valve in the brake booster?0
MC should be bench bled before install, so you did it right, at least procedurally.0
After you exhaust the reserve boost, keep your foot on the brake pedal and start the car; a properly functioning booster should experience a slight drop in pedal height. Too bad I gave away my factory service manuals for the Integra when I sold it.0
Hi, picked up my 2010 Honda Civic LX-S auto yesterday and the first thing that I noticed was that the brakes does not feel responsive enough. Is this by design for this generation? Coming from a 2007 Honda Fit Sport and my wife's Mazda 3i touring where I can gauge how the car stops, the Civic feels like it slows to a stop even when I am already pressing hard on the brakes. It reminds me of our 1998 CRV and 1988 Mitsubishi Van. Both heavy cars that takes a while to come to a complete stop. Why does the Civic feel the same way? :confuse:0
Brakes need time to wear in and mate between pads and rotors. If I wanted good brakes, I would've spent the cash and gotten the EX with all disc brakes, not antiquated rear drums. Better tires brake pads will do wonders for improving stopping ability.0
I agree. Speaking of antiquated rear drum brakes, I noticed the cover on mine for both sides are already rusty. I understand that it can get rusty over time but it rusted up after a few months. Its an eye sore at this point (shiny silver alloys with a bright red rusty background) but its not affecting driveability.
Any Honda Civic LX-S owners that can confirm if this is normal?0
It is absolutely very normal. It can also get rusty in a day or even less. I take it by "cover" you mean the brake drum, facing you as you look at it. I do not have a Civic LX-S.
However, the 04 Civic VP sedan has REAR drum brakes. They have black "steelies" wheels and an intergrated (with the lug nuts) silver plastic painted wheel cover: so appearance iis not @ issue.
Now if you have other than stock oem "sized" alloys, that might present some unseen and unknown issues.0
Really, the issue of the brake's "responsiveness" is in a way subjective and one of managing expectations. Now if they felt radically different between YOUR new 2010 Honda Civic LX-S and another 2010 Honda Civic LX-S, then that might bear further analysis.
To expect them to feel EXACTLY like your Honda Fit Sport and/or Mazda 3i touring, might be an exercise in unrealistic expectations. There are literally a host of reasons why/why not. There are also a lot of reason's for the rear drum brakes. Durability (in the rear stopping application) seems to be one of them. They (seem to) do last app 2 times longer than the fronts which are disc/pads. In addition, there are indications REAR PADS/ROTORS might even wear FASTER (than the front rotors and pads) by a factor of 2 TIMES, for a delta of up to 4 times !!!! The "English" translation (in my case) would be rear pads lasting 20,000 to 50,000 vs the 200,000-240,000 miles projected.
So for example, I just had a front brake job done. The front pads and rotors lasted 117,946 miles. I went with OEM brake pads and OE SPECIFICATION front rotors (Brembo). No aftermarket vendor has stepped up and claimed their product will last miles to percentages GREATER than oem pads. OEM rotors are much costlier (48%). If the OEM pads are only going to last 117,946 miles, I decided to get a good quality, yet $ CHEAPER replacement rotors. My hope and expectation are this 2nd set of pads/rotors last @ least 150,000 miles as the oem set had a lube issue on one side of the caliper which caused the inside right side pad to wear a shade quicker. One to all of the other three drivers did not catch this in time to save the one front oem rotor. While I would have prefered to REuse the oem rotors (if it met all conditions), using the rotors a second cycle (in my case 120,000+ miles est) can be done if you know the drill, accept the gambit of risks and is situational. In my case, the rotors COULD have been used, (if we had caught the lubrication issue earlier) but going 150,000 miles MORE miles (270,000 miles total) on the new set of pads MAY have exceeded rotor limit specifications. If it does and you do not know and/or monitor it, ...IT is NOT a good thing.
The rear shoes and drums were measured and inspected and pronounced good to go for @ least another 100,000 miles, or to 220,000 miles. At that time, the most likely failure will be a brake cylinder seal leak. In which case, a $5. rebuild kit and brake cleaner will probably make @ least the drum reuseable. Shoes will likely need to be replaced.0
It is absolutely very normal. It can also get rusty in a day or even less. I take it by "cover" you mean the brake drum, facing you as you look at it. I do not have a Civic LX-S.
Thanks for confirming! I finally saw another Honda Civic LX-S yesterday and the brake drum cover (visible side) is also rusty red.0
To expect them to feel EXACTLY like your Honda Fit Sport and/or Mazda 3i touring, might be an exercise in unrealistic expectations.
Oh no, I have no expectations that it should be the same as my previous '07 Honda Fit Sport but more a comparison/observation. The 2010 Honda Civic LX-S brakes and even my dad's 2009 Honda Civic LX "brake feel" felt like a minivan specifically like the ones we owned (Mitsubishi Van LS and Toyota Van LE). When you step on the brakes even in emergency situations, it "feels" hard and "feels" like its not responding in conjuction to your foot depressing on the brake pedal or not stopping fast enough as you perceive you think it should. Its definitely an adaptation issue and I've since learned to adjust and have no issues with it today.
The funny part is the Mazda 3i (my wife's car) felt the most responsive but checking Edmunds' road test results, the 2007 Honda Fit Sport comes on top with 60-0 of 123.61 feet, the 2008 Civic LX comes 2nd with 128 feet and the 2010 Mazda 3i Touring with 135 feet.0
The stopping lengths ( 60 mph to naught) are pretty comparable. That is interesting despite a whole lot of variables ie., different years, weights, etc.0

Charlotte Hornets
Charlotte Hornets want Marvin Williams to keep shooting
Marvin Williams doesn't fit the traditional definition of an NBA power forward. Then again, not many current power forwards do.
A sleek 6-foot-9 and 230 pounds, Williams can play either small or power forward. His new coach, the Charlotte Hornets' Steve Clifford, plans to use him primarily at power forward specifically for his ability to stretch defenses.
Williams made 36 percent from 3-point range last season with the Utah Jazz, and had the most makes (84) and attempts (234) from 3 in his nine pro seasons. Clifford wants Williams to further increase those attempts.
"Him being on the floor is going to give everyone else more space to play in," Clifford said Monday, after Williams signed a two-year contract that will pay him $7 million per season.
The Hornets have built their offense around Al Jefferson's low-post scoring. It's harder for opponents to double-team Jefferson when he's surrounded by reliable shooters. Jefferson averaged 21.5 points last season despite playing with one of the worst-shooting teams in the NBA.
Williams was signed in part as a reaction to the Hornets losing Josh McRoberts to the Miami Heat. The Hornets needed to replace McRoberts' shooting range and his decision-making with the ball.
"He makes quick, simple plays. When he's open, he shoots, when they get up on him he drives, and when the pass is there, he passes the ball well," Clifford said of Williams. "The more I study, the more I think he's a really good fit for our team."
Williams was chosen second overall by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2005 draft after he helped North Carolina win the national championship as a freshman. He certainly wasn't a 3-point threat initially - he took just 10 3s his third NBA season, making one.
But he recognized how the league was changing, with "stretch 4s" - power forwards in size, but shooting guards in skill - becoming the vogue. Players such as Rashard Lewis and Ryan Anderson made it extremely difficult for teams to defend pick-and-rolls because opposing big men can't afford to leave those players along the perimeter.
"I feel like since I've come in, the league has evolved a little bit. You see a lot of guys - my kind of player, tweeners - stretching the floor," Williams said. "It's very difficult to double-team when you have four guys who can knock down 3s consistently.
"If we really work on our perimeter games, Al can have a field day down there" in the post.
The Hornets have tried to improve their shooting since the trade deadline last February, when they acquired Gary Neal from the Milwaukee Bucks. Since then they acquired the draft rights to P.J. Hairston (from Miami), signed Lance Stephenson away from Indiana and Williams away from the Utah Jazz.
Williams played with Jefferson two seasons ago in Salt Lake City, so there's already some familiarity there.
"It does make you change the way you guard the pick-and-roll," when power forwards can make 3s, Williams said. "Usually you have two big guys out there (to cut off the driver). When you have a big guy who can make 3s, there's really no one to help."

Welcome to "Powered By Emotion: New Strategies for Deepening Therapeutic Healing." In this series, leading innovators in the field will explore how therapists can work more deeply and usefully with emotions in the consulting room—our own and the clients'. Each session will uncover different methods and techniques you can use to better utilize emotion in session.
In this first session with Susan Johnson, one of the developers of Emotionally Focused Therapy, you'll discover methods to work more experientially with volatile emotions in the consulting room by delving into the client's deeper attachment issues. You'll learn to help clients achieve a more profound and enduring level of healing without resorting to controlling or distancing a client's potentially explosive emotions. You can take a look at her compelling article on the same topic in our May/June 2012 issue, "The Power of Emotion in Therapy" here.
Learn how to use the Focusing method to help clients talk about from their feelings rather than about them. Joan Klagsbrun, who's pioneered the field of the Focusing method, discusses how to deepen the client's lived experience by forming an intimate connection with their inner knowing that hasn't yet been formed into words or thoughts.
Discover how the latest findings on the psychobiology of crying can help you harness a client's tears in session to engage with, understand, and regulate their emotions. Professor of psychology Jay Efran, who coauthored a compelling article on the topic in our May/June 2012 issue, discusses the practical do's and don'ts of what to do when your client cries. Read the article here.
In this session, you'll learn why positive emotions are often an underutilized resource in treatment and why people are vulnerable to negative biases. With Rick Hanson, you'll explore the benefits of helping clients internalize positive emotions.
Dealing with an angry client can be a frustrating roadblock in therapy. Learn from Ron Potter-Efron, author of Healing The Angry Brain, about different types of anger, how to assess coping strategies for your client, and how to use those powerful emotions to the benefit of both the therapist and client. After the session, please let us know what you think.
Explore how to use mindfulness and meta-processing to help clients witness and accept, rather than avoid, their emotional processes. Learn from Diana Fosha, the developer of Accelerated Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and director of the AEDP Institute, how to understand the role of mindfulness and meta-processing in helping clients accept their emotions, how to define "glimmers of growth" and the importance of growth with clients who have experienced trauma, and how to explain the significance of helping clients learn how to stay in the present moment.
After the session, please let us know what you think. If you ever have any technical questions or issues, please feel free to email email@example.com.

If you are hating your Monday morning, do yourself and favor and looks through these gifs- they will make your day! Not only will they make you laugh, but you will also relate to them. I'm sure you are slapping your face away on your way to work this morning. Wake up, sleepy !
These ironic, hilarious, and surreal animated portraits are part of commercial photographer Romain Laurent's photography challenge. Laurent's desire to break the routine (of working on commercial photography) ended up on a quest to create silly-looking looped animated portrait each week since last September. He says the bizarre and often laugh-out-loud experiments are a low-pressure way to experiment and be creative without expectations.
"As far as the intention of the series, it's a way for me to explore a hybrid medium, experiment and being spontaneous while still sticking to a short weekly deadline. There isn't a common concept between each loop, I just 'go with the flow' and see what comes to my mind each week."
You can keep up with Laurent's weekly animated portraits on his Tumblr. (via Colossal)

Pat Flannery at Alumni House.
Update: Press conference Video || Audio
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell University President Brian C. Mitchell announced Friday, April 18, that Bison men's basketball head coach Pat Flannery has decided that effective July 1, 2008, he will retire as coach and will assume a new fundraising position within the University's Office of Development and Alumni Relations. Flannery, a graduate of Bucknell, has been the most successful coach in Patriot League history.
"Coach Flannery's decision to retire as head coach is a tremendous loss to our basketball program," President Mitchell said. "At the same time, the national respect he has earned as a coach, as a leader, and as an alumnus of the University will be an extraordinary asset to his alma mater. When I learned of Pat's decision, my thoughts as president immediately turned to the impact he could have as part of this campaign. He has earned national stature as a coach, as a leader, as an alumnus of the University, and as a friend to so many. I therefore was pleased to offer to Pat the opportunity to become a vital member of our fundraising program. To my considerable appreciation, he accepted. I have no doubt he will be a major figure in the largest fundraising effort in the history of Bucknell."
"It has been an honor and a privilege to have had the opportunity to coach outstanding young scholar-athletes here at my alma mater for 14 years," Coach Flannery said. "I am grateful to my wife and children for the support they have given me throughout this time, and the understanding they have shown for the long hours and extensive travel that being a head coach at this level requires. With them in mind and after much reflection, I have decided it is time to move on to a new phase in my life. I am deeply grateful to President Mitchell and Bucknell for offering me this exciting new opportunity to serve this great institution I love, and look forward to doing what I can to support Bucknell and building on the commitment that I know Bucknellians around our country have for the University as this campaign goes forward."
Crucial leader
"Coach Flannery has been an important figure in establishing the national reputation of Bison athletics as a leader in the scholar-athlete model," said Director of Athletics and Recreation John Hardt. "Pat has not only experienced tremendous success on the hardwood, he has won the right way, with young men of class and accomplishment. All of us in the athletics department are happy to know that we will still be able to call Pat a Bucknell colleague, and we have no doubt that he will continue to provide significant leadership and service to his alma mater in his new role within the University's fundraising campaign."
Hardt indicated that he had already begun putting together a national search process, and that the University is determined to bring in a new head coach who will continue in the Bison tradition of excellence in the Patriot League and at the national level.
Flannery earned his bachelor's degree in economics and political science in 1980 and his master's degree in college administration in 1983. Both degrees are from Bucknell. He became Bucknell's head basketball coach in 1994. In 2005 and 2006, his teams captured Patriot League championships and went on to win first-round games in the NCAA tournament, the first two tournament wins in Bucknell and Patriot League history. His overall record at Bucknell is 234-178, and his career record is 329-221. His 125 conference wins at Bucknell are a Patriot League record.
New role
On July 1, Flannery will assume his new role as a fundraiser within the University's Office of Development and Alumni Relations. Bucknell recently initiated the largest fundraising campaign in its history, with an initial goal of $400 million.

The Triplets of Belleville (French: Les Triplettes de Belleville) is a 2003 animated comedy film written and directed by Sylvain Chomet. It was released as Belleville Rendez-vous in the United Kingdom. The film is Chomet's first feature film and was an international co-production among companies in France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Canada.
The film features the voices of Michèle Caucheteux, Jean-Claude Donda, Michel Robin, and Monica Viegas; there is little dialogue, the majority of the film story being told through song and pantomime. It tells the story of Madame Souza, an elderly woman who goes on a quest to rescue her grandson Champion, a Tour de France cyclist, who has been kidnapped by the French mafia for gambling purposes and taken to the city of Belleville (an amalgam of New York City, Montreal and Quebec City[3]). She is accompanied by Champion's loyal but obese hound, Bruno, and joined by the Triplets of Belleville, music hall singers from the 1930s, whom she meets in the city.
The film was highly praised by audiences and critics for its unique style of animation. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards—Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song for "Belleville Rendez-vous". It was also screened out of competition (hors concours) at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.[4]
The story focuses on Madame Souza, an elderly woman raising her young grandson, Champion. Souza notices her grandson is sad and lonely, hinted as due to the loss of his parents, so she first tries to get him interested in the piano. When this fails, she buys him a puppy named Bruno to cheer him up. Although he is initially happy, he quickly becomes melancholic once again. After discovering that Champion has a keen interest in road bicycle racing, because it is implied that Champion's deceased parents were bicyclists, she buys him a tricycle. Years later, Champion becomes a professional cyclist with Souza as his coach.
Eventually, Champion enters the Tour de France but during the race, he and two other riders are kidnapped by two French mafia henchmen and brought to the bustling metropolis of Belleville.
Souza and Bruno follow the men, but lose their trail soon after reaching the city. Lost and with no way to find Champion, Souza has a chance encounter with the renowned Belleville triplets, music hall singers from the 1930s, now elderly women turned improvisational musicians. The sisters take Souza to their home and over time she becomes a part of their group. Meanwhile, the mafia boss drugs the kidnapped cyclists and employs a mechanic to build a stationary cycling machine for the racers to race on — to create their own mini Tour de France for gambling.
At a fancy restaurant, the Triplets and Souza perform a jam session using a newspaper, refrigerator, vacuum and bicycle wheel as instruments. The mafia boss who kidnapped her grandson happens to be in the same restaurant and, with the help of Bruno, Souza realizes he has Champion. She tails one of the Mafia's minions the next day and discovers their scheme. That night, several mob bosses and their henchmen arrive at the mafia hideout and place bets on the riders (one of whom falls off his bicycle from exhaustion, at which point the bookmaker shoots him as one would an injured horse). Madame Souza, Bruno and the triplets then infiltrate the hideout and sabotage the contraption, unbolting it from the ground and turning it into a pedal-powered vehicle on which they all escape. The mob henchmen pursue them, but are all thwarted amidst the chase. The film ends with the motley group riding on out of Belleville, and a flashforward to an elderly Champion reflecting on the adventure, as told to him by the then-deceased Souza.
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 94% of 140 surveyed critics gave it a positive review, and the average rating was 8.2/10; the consensus reads: "Richly detailed and loaded with surreal touches, The Triplets of Belleville is an odd, delightful charmer."[5] Metacritic, which assigns a normalized score, rated it 91/100 based on 36 reviews.[6]
The film was nominated for two Academy Awards: for Best Animated Feature, making it the first PG-13 animated film to be nominated in that category; and for Best Original Song (Benoît Charest and Sylvain Chomet for the song "Belleville Rendez-vous", sung by Matthieu Chedid in the original version). The film lost the Best Animated Feature award to Finding Nemo. It also has won the César for Best Film Music,[7] and as a co-production with Canada it won the Genie Award for Best Motion Picture[8] and the BBC Four World Cinema Award in 2004.[9]

Known for his theatrical, darkly humorous take on figurative painting and his bold use of colour, he has had over 20 solo shows and is collected widely by private institutions across Australia and is in many International and Australian private collections…
Edwards paints in an intriguing manner, his brush strokes are confident and loose and yet by contrast are reinforced with delicate lines and considered details. He scribes his age in the artwork, often in the corner of the canvas - a signature to his work.
His practice to date has concentrated on the human figure - especially the history of portraiture. There are allusions to European art history as 'old master paintings' are subverted and the sitters are made to look impotent and ridiculous as characters set in a dark comedy on stage. Their features are often exaggerated; bulbous noses with swollen ears are paired with comic sullen expressions juxtaposed with a carnivalesque colour palette and/or heightened through a dark background.
McLean's late father Gregson Edwards was a diplomat, and the artist spent much of his youth in transition between borders. This exhibition 'Passport', essentially a portraiture show, relates to the migration of people and the reality (or not) of their true identity.
I have been painting all my adult life...my interest in the essential human form and condition has sustained me in the studio through thick and thin. I first started off painting the people I knew and less successfully strangers, and then I started inventing characters which was very liberating. I found I could manufacture a whole character in my head which served as a conduit to completing a picture.
Needless to say I am a figurative painter. I perceive the painting as more than any method or technique. It is a map of a personage. What I mean to say is I feel like a novelist taking detours, unexpected turns or grisly endings depending on my mood. Many of the guys I conjure up strike me as almost a duplicate of myself, a doppelgänger with my anxieties, my secrets and my own unknowability. A lot of the responses are habitual which requires a corrective self editing technique. Its not a fixed technique and it can vary from a quiet break for lunch with a friend, playing with the kids or a reflective smoke.
My approach is somewhat risky I suppose comparative to some of my contemporaries. I paint straight onto the canvas with no studies or photographs. This entails risk, because I have absolutely no idea what road blocks will come up. I find this spontaneity gives me a heightened sensation when navigating through the plate tectonics of the conscious and unconscious. The physical decisions even if unresolved provide an emotional sensitivity which would be absent if I planned it all.
I recently had a show in New York and travelled there for the first time. The art blew me away, of course, but I couldn't help but notice the Australian painters I grew up with are just as good and in many cases better. I wonder if this is because of their 'Australian quality', whatever that vernacular is. Regardless, I have many favourites that are painting today in Australia and the lists gets longer all the time. I think it is important to meet artists and have a chat, especially when you are young. I was very apprehensive about approaching artists I admired when I was a kid, but almost universally I found when I met them my heroes were responsive, kind and generous. The really good artists tend to be open and curious not closed and opinionated. I have been lucky to meet quite a few.
McLean was recently selected as one of 30 finalists in the 2017 Doug Moran Portrait Prize with his work titled 'Self Portrait'. Tim Storrier won the esteemed prize with his portrait of McLean Edwards titled 'The Lunar Savant - McLean Edwards'.

Tech President Selected To Chair Denish Transition Team, Dec. 12, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., Dec. 12, 2008 – Lt. Governor Diane D. Denish announced the appointment of New Mexico Tech President Dr. Daniel H. López to her Transition Advisory Leadership team.
"New Mexico is strong. We have a diverse economy, a stronger education system, and continue to put policy and programs in place to protect and support New Mexico families," Denish said in a press release. "Today we're here to talk about the unprecedented transition of leadership. I'm proud to be a part of history and I look forward to continuing our progress."
López and Brenda Brooks of Hobbs will be the co-chairs of the committee. The team will spend the next seven weeks crafting a list of recommendations to help Denish and her cabinet make a seamless transition into the governorship.
Gov. Bill Richardson has accepted President-elect Barack Obama's nomination as U.S. Secretary of Commerce. He is expected to officially step down as governor of New Mexico early in 2009.
Denish said López's experience in state government will be beneficial to the Transition Team.
"Dan brings extensive knowledge of state government and finance issues," Denish said in the release. "Dr. López 's experience in administration, planning, finance and budgeting will be important to guiding work of this advisory team."
López said he's pleased to provide an important public service to New Mexico during this time of transition in uncertain economic times.
"I'm honored to serve the Lt. Governor in a capacity that could help to support a very smooth transition," López said. "Our first responsibility is to gather information about how to continue the progress that has been made by the current governor to make sure we don't ignore any programs or initiatives that have shown positive outcomes. Second, we will come up with a priority list of new ideas that might support and enhance what has already been initiated."
A native of Puerto de Luna, New Mexico, López is a graduate of the University of New Mexico and an Air Force veteran who served in Korea. He served former Gov. Tony Anaya as secretary of the Department of Labor and later as the secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration. He has been president of New Mexico Tech since 1993. He is also a founding member and chairman of the Council of University Presidents.
Denish served on the Board of Regents for New Mexico Tech in the 1980s and 1990s, including when Lopez was named the President.
López and Brooks will guide the work of teams focusing on specific areas including government efficiency and finance, economic stability, transportation and infrastructure, education and workforce, healthy families and communities, energy and environment, safety and security.
López said the transition team will develop a series of concise position papers or summaries of opportunities for the new administration in legislation of executive emphasis.
"We'll bring in a wide range of ideas in a coherent manner for the new governor to hit the ground running," he said. "We'll get input from all across New Mexico."
The Transition Team will direct teams of citizens who will identify areas where Denish, her administration and state government can identify ways in which agencies can better integrate, rank priorities and make recommendations about what can be accomplished in the next two years, and in the next five years.
Lopez said the transition advisory team leaders and members represent every county and every public and private sectors, rural and urban areas, and the cultural strength that makes New Mexico unique. They are volunteering their time to public service and to New Mexico.
Trevor Loy of Flywheel Ventures in Albuquerque will lead the Government Efficiency and Finance Advisory Team to bring private sector finance expertise.
Alex Romero, an economic development and marketing expert, will lead the Economic Stability Team.
Dr. Margie Huerta, president of Dona Ana Community College will lead the education and workforce advisory team. Huerta has introduced new programs to meet the growing demands of business and industry in the Dona Ana County area.
Matt Martinez will lead the Healthy Families and Communities Advisory Team. Matt is the vice president of National Hispanic Cultural Center board and former Mayor of Las Vegas.
Maria Griego-Raby, owner of Contract Associates and former UNM regent, will lead the Safety and Security Team. Maria currently serves on the State Board of Finance, collaborating with communities to keep families safe and secure. She also owned a business in Juarez, Mexico, and understands border safety and security issues related to economic and workforce development.
Joe Garcia, Chairman of the All Indian Pueblo Council and President of the National Congress of American Indians, will lead the Energy and Environment Advisory Team. Garcia has been an electrical engineer at Los Alamos National Laboratory for 25 years and is a past recipient of the New Mexico Distinguished Public Service Award.
Joe Maestas, mayor of Espanola, will lead the Transportation and Infrastructure Advisory Team. Maestas has more than 20 years as an engineer, planner, and program manager for the federal government. In addition, Joe served as President of the New Mexico Municipal League Board of Directors.
"I would like to thank the hundreds if New Mexicans that have offered their skills, talents, and support to make this a smooth transition," Denish said.

Usher Shares Cover Art, Track Listing + Changed Title Spelling for 'Looking 4 Myself'
Usher dropped both covers for his new album, 'Looking 4 Myself,' along with the new spelling of the title. It was originally spelled 'Looking for Myself,' but the "for" was swapped out in favor of the numeral. The singer also shared the track listing for the platter, which drops June 12.
The standard and deluxe editions boast the same exact profile image of Usher, with a massive (and fake) neck tattoo, featuring lips. The standard version is black and white in tone, while the deluxe has a blue hue to it. Besides a color-tinted cover, the deluxe boasts for extra songs, as well. More bang for your buck.
