2013 Ford Escape Gas Mileage
stevedebi LAPosts: 3,788You are describing exactly the philosophy that has dominated in Europe for the past 30 years. Smaller displacements and turbo charged = better economy if desired, or better power when you need it (or want it). But never both at the same time. It just takes a lot of power to move that much metal - and much more fuel to move it rapidly.
EDIT: They also make large use of diesel technology, but for some reason the US manufacturers don't seem to want to bring that here, even though it is now clean enough for the EPA.
Steve, You are correct. I have driven over in Germany, and the European cars / philosophy is very different than what we see here in North America. Smaller engines, squeezing a bit more out of them.
A few years ago I rented a Ford Mondeo wagon with a 2.0 TDi-6sp-manual. It was a pleasure to drive, VERY fuel efficient and very respectable power. 228Kph (142Mph) on the autobahn was plenty quick!
I look forward to having a diesel selection in North America in (hopefully) the not too distant future.
woodinva Posts: 17After speaking with a cousin of mine who is a retired FORD executive; he tells me that the reason Ford doesn't bring diesels to SUV'S AND THE MID SIZE car market has to do with re-tooling and re-engineering mainly. If they built SUV's to handle the extra torque they would have to redesign brake systems to handle the load, front ends, transfer cases for 4WD and differentials. Plus they may have to offer higher capacity transmissions to get better fuel efficiency. Then once they increase the strength of these products to handle TDI they would have to have to INCREASE the prices of the vehicles. When they increase the prices of the vehicles; people tend to have a 10 year replacement philosophy and not a 6 year replacement philosophy. The car manufacturers enjoy the fact that most of you replace vehicles in 6 years time or shorter. Repeat business keeps them profitable. However future CAFE requirements will force them to bring diesels to this country but if they can extend it for a few more years it works to their 'profit plans' that are projected 5- 10 years in advance.
It is now known that JEEP will offer their GRAND Cherokee with a diesel engine option again; this engine is by the same company that made them when Daimler Benz was running Chrysler. Except that the company has sold its ownership from DAIMLER now to a 50 -50 partnership between GM- FIAT.
What do you want to bet that GM will soon be offering a well proven variant of that engine in its products for the US in the near future.
If FORD WERE SMARTER they would be offering a turbo diesel in the EXPLORER and larger class vehicles right now before they experience a loss in market share...they have the engines for them..in different markets right now.Australia , South America sell them right now.
dons8 Posts: 3We went from a 2003 Highlander to a 2013 Escape and so far the MPG (nearly 2000 miles) have been a real comparative disappointment. Despite the 300 pound weight drop and the small displacement engine the highway cruising MPG seems to run around 24 MPG and the city MPG is down around 18. Starting and stopping quickly kick in the turbo unless you keep the RPMs down under 2500 (preferable under 2000) which quickly gets you a mad line of cars behind you. The heavier 6 cylinder Highlander claimed less and delivered more. We also got a new Focus and that car is also getting about 4-MPG less than claimed for City although I'm able to get and beat the highway MPG if I hold it at a steady cruise of 65. I'm left with little option, but to think Ford designed to the EPA tests rather than to the customer and that I should have bought a Highlander hybrid and an Altima (Focus trunk too narrow to carry two golf bags without taking out the woods).
Just did a bit of digging on the DTE indication. It is based on your Running Average Fuel Economy (or RAFE) which is your average fuel economy over the last 800Km or 500 miles.
You can find out what your RAFE is, if you go into the diagnostics mode as described in an earlier post.
I just checked my RAFE and it is at 8.4 L/100Km or 28 MPG. (mostly highway, but not all) 2.0 FWD
So now, even with my fuel guage sitting at just over 1/8th of a tank, the DTE is showing 117Km or 73 miles.
With all the discussion on this forum, and all the various results from different owners, I think we have all overlooked the Trip Timing function on the dash.
It would be very interesting for everyone to report their Trip Time and their distance and their mileage for a tank of gas. This will give us average speed, which is pretty important when considering fuel economy.
If one driver says their City fuel economy is poor, and has an average speed of 12Mph and another reports good City mileage and has an average speed of 25Mph, it would make sense!
For me, I have not reset my Trip 1 timer (as far as I recall) since taking delivery of the vehicle.
I now have 149 hours showing. (yes, the hours roll over after 99, so my display actually shows 49 hours)
I also have 6,551 Kms (4,068 miles) on the ODO. This calculates to a lifetime average speed of 44 Kph or 27Mph. The actual speed would be slightly higher than this, as having the ignition ON, but the engine not running, still keeps the clock going.
Anyone with good or bad mileage want to post some time vs distance vs mileage data for one tank? Or maybe the lifetime average if available?

Life of 1.6 ltr FWD
1286 miles 62 hours 23.3 avg.miles per gallon
according to the cars screen information.
I know there is a lot of idle time in there.

I will let you do the #'s
Lots of Idle. For sure.
Remote start everyday sometimes let it run out.
Cold outside avg temp about 35 lots of idle time with work, and warming up, talking to people with engine on.
Small town so no congestion at all,
ahh..... life in a small rural town.
Interesting. If people have not noticed it is only the ones who have the AWD that get the bad gas mileage, that is why we got the FWD.
I had a loaner with the last recall it was a 2.0 AWD and it got 18 town and 24 Hwy, I was keeping close watch.
I also seems like mine FWD is getting just a little better since I crossed over the 1,000 mile mark.
No problems love the car, and the mileage I am getting.
cbc410 Posts: 20I have around 3300 miles on my Titanium FWD. Since I got it, it only gets around 14 - 16 mpg in all city driving. Freeway is 26-32 depending if the road is flat or not. I drive very conservatively and always get the highest marks on their little Eco Driver read out. I have taken the car to the dealer to be checked out and they say I am getting that mpg because of the winter fuel (which is less efficient), because I live in the Bay Area hills, and because of city traffic conditions with lots of stop signs and lights. Even with all that, the mpg shouldn't be off by more than 30%. My 2001 Volvo wagon gets the same mpg and it isn't suppose to be as fuel efficient plus it is an old car. Also, city driving is suppose to full of lights. And even on flat roads, the mpg is bad unless I can coast through all green lights. It is so frustrating to me that Ford feels no shame that they misrepresented the mpg on this car. I never would have purchased the car. I told them my concerns on day 3 of owning the car and they just told me to wait until the break in period is over. Now I feel like I have spent a ton of money on something that will have a horrible resale value and has already lost $10,000 in value just from no longer being brand new.
chrishappel Posts: 1I just leased a 2013 Escape a couple days ago and immediately drove it for 130 miles. The trip was about 115 miles highway/15 city and I averaged around 22 MPG. I then reset the MPG calculator for just highway cruising at about 70 MPH and only got about 24 MPG on a relatively flat freeway. Even when I dropped the speed to approximately 63 MPH, the car was registering only 26 MPG. This is not consistent with the 23/33 advertised mileage and curious if others have experienced the same results. Will the MPGs increase when the engine is 'worn in' more?
tinycadon Posts: 2871) I got rid of it a couple of months ago, took a 2,500 hit, but worth it.
2) If you drive 60mph on the highways in the DC area (when it's not totally clogged) you're taking your life in your own hands.
3) It's being marketed as a "have your cake & eat it too" in regards to MPGs. So if you need to change your driving habits to get the high MPGs compared to your normal driving habits (got better MPGs in my 2010 Escape) then it's completely misleading advertising by Ford.
I'm not a Ford basher, I've had numerous Ford's in my lifetime, but this 2013 Escape IS NOT what it's being made out to be. I would've been better off with a V6 Edge.
johnnyuma Posts: 54We're on our first road trip with our 2013 Ford Escape 2.0L Titanium AWD. We left cold and snowy MI with a little over 3600 miles on the vehicle. Drove about 925 miles and arrived in Panama City Beach, FL. We averaged 27 MPG on the way down (that's city/hwy combined). We've driven the FL panhandle from Pensacola to Tallahassee and averaged 29 MPG (again city/hwy combined). We're very happy with the overall performance of our Escape.
lip1122 Posts: 5I agree with you. We should all start a class action suit against Ford for false advertising in regard to the 2013 Ford Escape. I have the Titanium and it has been in the shop for 2 weeks as they try and figure out the problem with the gas mileage. They told me it is getting 24 mpg with them. I was getting 13-17 mpg. I just drove it out of the shop and unlike the dealer who stated they were getting 24 mpg on the dash I got 15 mpg! We all need to come together to get a solution from Ford that is acceptable.
tim156 Posts: 308Good luck with that. Remember though, Individual Mileage May Vary.
As a foot note:
Trip from Phoenix to Minneapolis, speeds at 70-75, overall average 25.6
Best mpg's on relatively flat terrain, 5 mph tail wind, 75 mph 30.6
Current MPG's, Hwy/City combined, temps in single digits 24.4

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the slowest Atlantic hurricane season on record--1914, which had no hurricanes and only one tropical storm. Is it possible that the 2014 hurricane season could match 1914 for the lowest activity ever recorded, with Hurricane Arthur ending up as our only named storm? I think that is highly unlikely, even though the atmospheric and oceanic conditions in the Atlantic are looking hostile for development for the coming two weeks.
Is this actionable knowledge? The answer for many is an, obvious, yes, because people, corporations and governments are taking actions. What is missing in action is any rational, national or global approach to reduce emissions and, therefore, to bound the changes to our weather and climate as incremental changes to our history of the past few centuries. This leads to a situation where the actions that we take are in many ways temporary patches, because over decades and the next few centuries, we will be reliably warming up and sea level will relentlessly rise. There is much more difficultly predicting changes to ecosystems, agriculture, pathogens, political systems and nations. This will require anticipation, to which models will contribute, and the willingness and flexibility to spend on adaptive strategies if we are to obtain societal stability. Those who view models as providing actionable knowledge are more likely to succeed. Otherwise, we will be like those who lived on the shore of modern Turkey at the end of last glacial period, chasing the retreating glaciers and their water into the mountains with their goats and sheep.

- In the planning of cities these days, there's one critically important factor that is, to our great misfortune, routinely overlooked: ugliness.
While debating the proper use of land -- whether or not homes should be built where farms used to be, or how much traffic should flow along the Hanlon Parkway by 2010 -- there is no official debate about the attractiveness of development. We have statistics on water supply and sewerage, on setbacks and view lines, on the numerical conformation of developments to all the zoning bylaws. But we have almost nothing on how well a development appeals to the eye or the affections.
This is a huge oversight. Good taste has no official status. Any cowboy without a shred of esthetic training can create a butt-ugly housing project or shopping development as long as the paperwork is in order. And we have to live with it for the next century.
What is "good taste" when it comes to designing cities?
- How did we get here? Why is it we so blithely sacrifice timeless beauty, classic civic design, and the proven principles of Christopher Alexander's pattern language for such hideous homogeneity? Why is it that places like Guelph that still have civic character are so willing to give it up to corporate blandness, transforming our distinctive someplace into an indistinct no-place, wrecked and sprawling like all the other esthetically bankrupt no-places?
It's plainly dereliction of duty. Politicians, supposedly in the business of building a great city, are instead approving these monstrosities without a blink, perhaps because other cities are doing it, so what the hell. Hell indeed. Rather than taking the opportunity to beautify, they are uglifying Guelph.
Shamefully unschooled in what makes a city aesthetically great, and unwilling to pay attention to those who are qualified in the design of greatness, they are, in my opinion, committing serious crimes of bad taste. And the effects will last a lifetime and beyond.
Ugly is ugly. You never learn to love it, only wonder how it ever came to be acceptable.

Theres no need to be concerned about falling from a bridge and into the canal in front of the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.
Its not real.
It only looks that way.
A three-dimensional chalk painting commissioned by the Cherry Blossom Festival and the Gateway Project has drawn a crowd of visitors to Cherry Street Plaza to catch a glimpse of a new painting by world-renowned chalk artist Tracy Lee Stum.
The painting, a canal lined with cherry blossom trees that uses the natural parts of the brick patterns in front of the museum as bridges for the scene, has drawn all sorts of visitors downtown as people have been getting their photos taken to incorporate themselves into the chalk drawing.
Stum, who completed the project with fellow chalk artist Sharyn Namnath, said the human factor is the final piece of the puzzle.
Most people love illusions, and I view it as completing the painting, she said. It hinges on public participation.
Karen Lambert, president and CEO of the festival, said she first saw Stums work a couple of years ago and wanted to incorporate her art into last years festival, but she wasnt able to schedule it.
But for this years 30th anniversary of the festival, she wanted to make sure a work was commissioned. The festival partnered with the Gateway Project to hire the Ventura, Calif.-based Stum.
All the pieces just fit, Lambert said. Were super excited. This is very cool.
Lambert and Beth Dunwody, executive director of the Gateway Project, tossed around some ideas with Stum about what the image should be and sent the artist some of the places downtown that might be a good spot for it. Stum settled on the sports hall after seeing the architecture and brick patterns.
Ben Sapp, executive director of the museum, said the sports hall has seen an increase in visitors the past two days thanks to the artwork.
Its been nice seeing the activity, he said. Weve definitely had an uptick in visitors (Tuesday and Wednesday). ... Im glad they chose to do this here.
Dunwody said that Gateways website, www.itshotterhere.com, will have time-lapse video of the artists at work to create the image.
People are intrigued by the process, she said. Theres a lot of engineering, geometry that goes into it. It seems to be a really good fit for us. Gateway is all about showing a different perspective of Macon.
Stum, who holds a Guinness World Record for creating the largest outdoor chalk drawing ever when she was commissioned to do a chalk painting of The Last Supper in New York City to promote the movie The Da Vinci Code, said this is her first trip to Macon.
Its a wonderful town, she said. Its just beautiful. The people have been super friendly.
Officials said the painting can be covered with plastic and cardboard to protect it from the rain. Officials want the chalk painting to last at least through Saturday night, when the festivals Street Party takes place.
Kathy Vance of Gainesville, Fla., who is visiting Macon for the first time, watched as the artists put the finishing touches on the artwork.
Its totally amazing, she said. To do it up close like they do and (create the 3-D effect), thats such a talent. Ive never seen anything like it.

White ribbons
TO THE EDITOR: The target for the White Ribbon Campaign (WRAP) this year is the harm that it causes our citizens.
The campaign will be Oct. 28 through Nov. 11. Please display white ribbons on your lapel, on automobile antennas, door knobs, etc.
Pornography is only the tip of the iceberg. It leads to many other problems associated with sexual perversion. There are several laws against pornography. Many of them specify harm to children, and the solution is prosecution.
Unfortunately, some cases are never reported to authorities, and authorities need to be reminded when problems exist. Awareness, education and protest are the life blood of the campaign. Pornography is rampant on the Internet, TV, movies, music, magazines, video, cell phones etc.
Subscribe to Morality In Media's newsletter or go to their website. Voice your opinion at www.PornHarms.com. Write letters and e-mails. Write to your president, legislators, advertisers, editors, TV stations, etc.
Petition your U.S. attorneys to enforce the federal obscenity laws. Pray that the United States will shield itself from this cancer in our country.

TO THE EDITOR: Tea-Publicans are running out of reversionary, angry white men, necessitating new ways to propagate the economic apartheid allowing the force-feeding of our money to corporations, heavy industry and the military like they're Strasbourg geese.
Their standard methodology of lies, treachery, corruption and false patriotism remains, but they've focused much of their rhetoric of transference (accusing others of the very sins they're committing) to the co-opting of the electoral process. Theirs is an elitist ideology rooted in racism, classism and maintaining that voting is a privilege, not a right. They understand the power of the majority is the foremost threat to fascistic dominance.
Integral to their plans to privatize, monopolize and politicize electronic voting was, ironically, their theft of the 2000 presidential election. The pursuant outrage fueled passage of the Bush administration's self-serving legislation mandating the computerization of voting machines, yet providing no effective governmental oversight.

Marque Doucette stepped up to a tee, placed his golf ball and quickly launched it 120 yards down a digitized fairway at the famed Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh.
His previous drive, just moments earlier, came at the PGA course in Abu Dhabi, where some pros were playing last week.
It's all part of a bigger shot Doucette is taking. He's just days away from a Feb. 1 grand opening of Indoor Golf of Johnstown, a business that will feature state-of-the-art simulators allowing golfers to practice drives or play 18 holes on courses across the world year-round. It is located in the East Hills Plaza, anchored by Ollies Bargain Outlet.
"I originally wanted to open a driving range. But I kept thinking about the fact that once winter comes, you can't play anymore," he said, holding his club while standing in front of a 12 foot impact screen. "That's where this idea came in. Indoor golf. All year long."
The concept has been gaining steam in recent years.
The Alley near Central City has operated several machines in its bar for years.
"But this is the first place entirely dedicated to golf," Doucette noted.
That's where the Daisytown man hopes to fill a niche, providing a space where golfers can keep their game sharp even when snow is falling outside.
His four machines, which typically cost $20,000 or so each, utilize lights, cameras and other sensors to project ball speed, club angle, distance and a list of other stats.
Golfers can bring their own clubs and golf balls. When they strike the ball, it travels about 10 feet before hitting either the impact screen where the course is shown or the net surrounding it.
"There's more than 135 courses from all over the world on these machines," Doucette said.
Courses frequented by golf's top pros and well-heeled amateurs are among them, including Pebble Beach, Torrey Pines and Augusta.
Golf will be offered by the hour at Indoor Golf of Johnstown, he said.
It costs $25 per hour. But for a group of five playing on the same course and screen, that breaks down to $5 an hour.
For two golfers playing 18 holes, with a few short breaks in between, a round typically takes two hours, said Pam Renowden, a partner in the venture.
Doucette is hoping to start leagues.
He soon will allow players to set up tee times online at indoorgolfofjohnstown.com.
Those who compete in leagues will play weekly at discounted rates, he added.
A small pro shop is being set up at the front of the 4,000-square-foot location.
Renowden said snacks will be sold but deals are being worked out with local restaurants, including Papa Johns, to allow players to place orders at the shop and have food delivered.
Doucette hopes to set up a golf-focused consignment shop at the rear of the location, where used clubs, shirts and other gear will be offered at a fraction of its retail cost.
Indoor Golf hours are 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday – but there will be flexibility for players, Doucette said.
He hopes to have "early bird" hours during the summer golf season, opening at 5:30 a.m. to allow golfers to warm up indoors with a continental breakfast and drive balls at discounted rates.
"It's something different," he said.
"But I think people in this area will have a lot of fun with this."

Disorder In The Court: The Phoenix Coyotes Drag On And On
Another reason that the judge couldn't end things today is that there's only one legitimate bid, and that's Jim Balsillie's bid to move the team to Hamilton, but that portion of the auction is scheduled for next month. The judge declared Balsillie's bid to be the "highest and best" of the offers, and it's actually the only one in which creditors will get money.
That's probably why the largest creditor of the Coyotes, SOF Investments, a fund owned by Michael Dell of Dell Computers, appeared in court and said it was only interested in being paid in full and in cash and requested that the court reject the other bids. That should end up having a big influence on the court because the role of the bankruptcy court is to make sure that the creditors get their money back -- and when the largest creditor is happy with only one bid, then that's probably the bid the judge will end up backing.
The matter as to Reinsdorf is now being postponed until September 10 to give Reinsdorf and the mythical bid (mythical because a bid has yet to actually be made) time to get their act together and get not only concessions from the city of Glendale, but also to find a way to make creditors like SOF Investments happy. (There will be a hearing on Wednesday as to whether the relocation auction will be still be held on September 10.)
There are major problems arising with Glendale, and Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes revealed these problems in court filings last Friday. Primarily, Reinsdorf is trying to get a $23 million subsidy from the city over the use of the arena, and that subsidy would be raised by creating a special district around the arena which would charge a so-called voluntary surcharge on retail sales in the district which includes a large mall. More importantly, the district also includes the stadium used by the Arizona Cardinals, and the Cardinals have made it known that they're not happy about this: "The NFL team's stadium would be in the special district and team president Michael Bidwell was quoted in local media reports as saying it was not fair that Cardinal fans should have to pay for the Coyotes' problems."
And it gets better, if Glendale couldn't raise the necessary money through the surcharge, the city would end up paying the Coyotes out of city funds, and if, within five years, the team was still not showing a profit and if the city then refused to pay the team $15 million a year, then Reinsdorf would be able to move the team.
And if you have the time, there's a good story from a sister paper to the mothership which reports that there are some very serious shenanigans on the part of Glendale's city manager to make sure a good friend of his (a co-bidder from Reinsdorf) gets the team, and that this city manager has failed to offer up similar deals and concessions to the current owner and any others who might have been interested in the team.
So, in summary, there will be a hearing on Wednesday to determine if the relocation auction originally scheduled for September 10 will still take place on September 10, or whether it will be pushed back so that the incompetent fools chosen by the NHL can attempt to get their act together in time for another auction on keeping the team in Phoenix on September 10. Further, the judge likes the Balsillie bid. The largest creditor likes the Balsillie bid and has stated it wants to be paid in full and in cash. There's some shady business dealings going on between the city of Glendale and Jerry Reinsdorf, and even the Arizona Cardinals are against the Coyotes.
At this point, I think we should all be happy that George W. Bush put Mike Brown in charge of FEMA and not Gary Bettman because I can't help getting the feeling that the Gulf Coast would still be under water from Katrina if Bettman was running things.
P.S.: For a little fun, here's some real disorder in the court.

Thanks so much for the video John, it explains everything!

Not sure whether this has been mentioned here before but I have completely missed it. According to the Amerks blog Anaheim and Phoenix will share San Antonio next season. More interesting prospects, harder to beat.
- August 4, 2009 at 9:12 AM
At what point will common sense prevail? Will it prevail?
I know Bettman is worried this will set a dangerous precedent, but the writing is on the wall. The Coyotes aren't going to be profitable in Arizona. Time to move this original Canadian franchise back north.

@AiH: This isn't about Phoenix anymore. It's turning into some death match between Gary Bettman and Jim Balsillie, only as with most of Bettman's actions, it is harming the league.
There could be more bad league news later today as the Islanders are supposed to find out whether they are getting their new arena, or not. I've read that if they don't get the new arena, they are going to look to move out of the New York area.
@FinnAir: Yes, I saw the same thing. That's the result of the debacle in Des Moines regarding the owners of the Chops. And yes, that will probably make San Antonio a little more difficult to beat.

their picks
what to buy
The Bunn Velocity Brew GRB is a basic coffee maker that brews quickly (in under three minutes), eliminating the need for pre-programming features. However, some owners say it produces weak coffee. Durability is a major plus, with many owners saying it lasts for years.
No programming features, but fast brew times. The Bunn GRB is a basic coffee maker without advanced programming features common to many automatic drip coffee makers. It has a stainless-steel-lined water reservoir that constantly heats the water to maintain a consistent temperature, enabling it to brew a full 10-cup pot of coffee in three minutes.
The water temperature also contributes to exceptional coffee. To obtain the richest flavor without over-extracting, coffee should be brewed between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. The Bunn maintains the temperature of water stored in the reservoir at a constant 200 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the ideal brew time is approximately six minutes, so some users say this machine produces weak coffee because the grounds aren't exposed to the hot water long enough. On the other hand, owners say that because it brews so quickly, there's really no need for the ability to program it in advance.
No automatic shut-off, but easy to use and clean. The biggest inconvenience in using the Bunn GRB coffee maker is that you need to remember to turn it off because it lacks an automatic shut-off feature. The water reservoir is constantly on, so it's also wise to unplug it when you'll be gone for several days.
This coffee maker is very easy to use; simply fill the basket and turn it on. As long as the water reservoir has had ample time to heat the water and it has enough water in it to produce a full pot, it brews in three minutes. However, water does tend to evaporate from the reservoir over the course of a few days, so users suggest checking the water level regularly.
Durable product, basic appearance. Bunn's product line has a reputation of lasting for years of regular use, and this model is no exception. Many owners report owning this model for years without problems, although there are a few isolated complaints of issues such as malfunctioning electrical connections or heating elements.
There's nothing special about the Bunn's appearance. It has black housing with a stainless-steel panel on the front of its basket housing where the warmer on/off switch is located. For those who wish, the coffee maker is also available in white as the Bunn Velocity Brew GRW. Owners say it's not offensive to look at, but it doesn't have the sleek, modern look of comparable automatic drip models.
Easy-to-use basic coffee maker. The Bunn Velocity Brew GRB is basic in its operation and appearance compared to other coffee makers, but owners are mostly pleased with the speed and consistency with which it produces coffee. However, if you prefer to wake up to a fresh-brewed pot, the programmable Cuisinart Brew Central DCC-1200 (*Est. $80) is a better choice.

Cary police arrested a man Monday who they think used an aluminum baseball bat to repeatedly hit the boyfriend of his child's mother.
Jose Antonio Hernandez Molina, 23, of 4232 Woodlawn Drive in Raleigh is accused of hiding inside the apartment shared by his ex, Magdalena Magallon Gutierrez, 29, and their 3-year-old daughter, said Capt.

When Gutierrez came back to her apartment late Sunday night with her daughter and current boyfriend, Tomas Lopez, Molina began attacking Lopez with a baseball bat, Wulff said.
Lopez was taken to WakeMed Raleigh Campus to be treated for his injuries.
Cary police charged Molina with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and first-degree burglary. He is being held at the Wake County jail in lieu of $1 million bail.

Know someone perfect for this career?
Forbes Magazine listed "wedding planner" as their #6 most stressful career. Ouch. Wedding planning requires weekend work. Do you like traveling in the summer? Forget it. The wedding season is at its busiest during those warm summer months. Also, wedding planners see their business skyrocket right after February 14th. Wonder why? You must be a people person who doesn't take things too personally. Everyone is trying to achieve the same goal: a perfect wedding. Unfortunately, perfect weddings do not exist, but don't try telling the bride that. Patience is a major factor when it comes to the job. Wedding planners must be patient with brides, but also in their own career. Most do not book wedding after wedding in their first year. It takes several years of making a name for yourself, producing successful weddings and making the right connections to get referrals.

I would really like my homepage to be 'scrollfree', the problem now is that there's still about 1 cm left to scroll down. Since the text I'm using in the blocks is really short, I would like to make the blocks smaller. Is there any way to make the blocks about 1-2 cm shorter? And where should I be looking to change it?

I'm trying to wise up 300 million people about money & finance
Take a moment to relish the sheer satisfaction of seeing the market index rise 10%-12% over the first three months of 2013.
Then, consider this piece of economic reality. While the economy is growing at a rate of 1.6%, our fiscal restraint measures will reduce GDP by 1.75% in 2013 explained William Dudley, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in a speech given on March 25th. I recommend you all take 5 minutes to read it. It is an exemplary clear portrait of these times without exaggerated rhetoric or any political line. Just the gritty facts.
To his credit Dudley warns that the fiscal drag that is planned is too great to do much about creating sufficient growth. Here is a clear wake up call. "The increase in payroll taxes, the rise in high income tax rates, the increase in taxes associated with the Affordable Care Act and now the sequester– if sustained– will result in a fiscal drag of about 1 3/4 percentage points of GDP in 2013," Dudley warned. " I view this as an unfortunate outcome," The Fed boss added for emphasis.
I read this to my investment adviser at First Manhattan in New York– and his response was to tell me about the " drag" in the top line revenues of major corporations like IBM, for example, which is barely growing its business. Price deflation rather than price inflation rules the day.
Moreover, the trend growth in unit labor costs is less than 1% annualized, meaning there is a cap on wages which is a drag on consumer spending.
Dudley goes to lengths to signal the Fed's monthly purchases of securities adding to money supply and the era of very low interest rateds will be with us for some time to come.He reason; there is not "sufficient evidence of economic momentum to cause me to favor gradually dialing back the pace of asset purchases." Later on he makes it clear that "a substantial improvement in the labor market outlook" is entirely "premature."
So, be happy that accomodative monetary policy means there will be no increase expected for interest rates until there is " a sustainable, strengthening recovery." But, if that possibility is well off in the future, why blindly trust that QE will continue to push stock prices higher. If top line revenue is suffering then it's hard to believe corporate profits will be sufficient to propel the indexes further on a nondiscriminatory basis. Many stocks have had a delicious run in a very short time. So, prudent investors should probably take some money off the table.
I think your article is spot on….. however….. that last remark is a dangerous thing to say considering most of the people who read your offering will only have an attention span limited to 140 characters.
It's a well-known fact that Dudley is a "dove" of the first order (along with Yellen, Tarullo, Evans and Rosengren).
He'll NEVER vote for the Fed to take its foot off the gas.
I agree with his view of the economy. I disagree with him on the prescription. We need HIGHER interest rates, not more QE.

Repair Frustrations : What was your must frustrating repair?
Anyone who has worked on a vehicle has most likely run into some frustration. Whether a bolt has been cross threaded, the head rounded off of a fastener, have to do a hand stand to get to something, dealing with rust related problems, or some other kind of inconvenience (and there are plenty of them :( ).
So my question fellow members is... What is the most frustrating repair(s) you have made?

V8 swap on my colorado,...............NUFF SAID LOL!!!
Besides the engine swap most of mine have been rust related, lots of snapped off bolts inside the frame rattling around lol!!2004 Chevy Colorado
LS1 5.7 swap/TBSS rear axle swap
Nothing major for me in terms of something being broken. My only complaint is trying to remove/reinstall the spark plugs all the way back by the firewall. I've changed out the plugs twice on my truck and those rear plugs are no fun at all.Clint (TX) 2001 Silverado LS 4.8L auto 2wd ECSB [GARAGE]

I think that the most frustrating repair I have done lately is u-joints on my 2003 yukon xl. I had a friend help me and he bent one of the ears on my driveshaft while I was in the house grabbing some beer. $300 later and a new drive shaft I learned my lesson when it comes to people "helping".(never leave tools with in sight and walk away!) Another one I am currently dealing with is the Power steering pump on my 05 xl. I ordered one from amazon, put it in, it ran for 30 seconds and popped. Then, it started whining like crazy and filled my power steering system and brake hydro booster with metal shavings. (New gear box and hydro boost installed a month before). I called amazon and they shipped me a replacement. I flushed the system with 3 gallons of fluid and put that one in, it lasted about 4 months and now makes a high pitched whine when slightly turning the wheel right while moving. Drives me nuts. So, again I have a replacement on the way. I just never figured that I would be putting on 3 power steering pumps in 4 months. You have to pull the alternator bracket to change it. Not a big deal, just annoying. Oh, and they have all been AC delco pumps.

In your case Pikey, it sounds more like AC Delco pumps are to be avoided, however, since you bought them from Amazon I have to say: I purchased my muffler through Amazon and it turned out to be the wrong size. I put all my truck info into Amazon and it told me what parts fit and what ones didn't. I tried to measure my exhaust pipes prior to ordering but never could get a good measure. Amazon insisted a 3" muffler fit and a 2.5" muffler did not. I ordered the 3" and when I went to match it up to my existing tubing, my stock tubing was 2.5". In the end it was nothing an adapter couldn't fix but I'm starting to wonder if Amazon isn't the best place to order auto parts from.
I got the part number from directly from GM. I search amazon and found it for $10 less than I could get it thru GM with an employee discount with no core charge and free 2 day shipping using prime. Gm only sells the pump as a reman also.
There have been plenty of pain in the arse jobs, some of which were 3 bolts to remove the part, but you couldnt get to a bolt. One that sticks out though is the tank vent solenoid on a 99 camaro. Part of the problem was the custom exhaust in the way for dropping the tank. But tried for a couple hours just to get the solenoid to release from the clip on the tank. Gave up and left it overnight, came out next morning and 10 minutes later it was out. yes the plugs on those cars are rediculously stupid to get by the firewall.David

Agreed on the 4th gen f-body's, anytime we do anything like that on my firebird we just lift the body of the car up and drop the cradle. 6 bolts and bam on the floor, done it several times. I would never attempt a tune up with the engine in the car, you guys are brave!!
Replacing the passenger side blend door actuator in a 99-06 (and 07 classic) Silvy or Sierra. You have to disassemble the darn dash and dig deep into it ... and then work in a tiny space while flexing certain things in the dash... to remove 2 tiny bolts, get the actuator out, put a new one in, and replace said tiny bolts. 4-5 hours of labor to replace a part that, if located better, would take 5 mins to replace.
I have small hands, which helped me on this job, and I cursed a lot. I can't imagine someone with big 'ol monkey hands trying to do this. It's made worse in my truck by sound deadening material that has to be removed in order to disassemble the dash.

In addition to his two titles, Solomon was also a runner-up and sixth-place finisher in his high school career. He will wrestle at the University of Pittsburgh.
Lewisburg senior Brandon Smith was beaten in the 220-pound final by Saucon Valley's Ray O'Donnell, 2-0. O'Donnell scored a third-period reversal to become Saucon's 11th state champion.
Earlier in the day, Line Mountain's Seth Lansberry dropped a 5-0 decision to former teammate and current Benton senior Zain Retherford in the 138-pound final.

The Buffalo Bills now have gotten rid of their top three tacklers from last season.
The Bills announced this afternoon they've traded linebacker Kelvin Sheppard to the Indianapolis Colts for pass-rusher Jerry Hughes.
Hughes was the 31st overall pick in the 2010 draft, but has been a disappointment, starting only seven games in his three NFL seasons.
Hughes made 41 tackles and added a career-high four sacks for the Colts last year.
Sheppard, a 2011 third-round pick, was third on the Bills last year with 77 tackles, three for losses, two sacks and a pass breakup.
The Bills previously cut leading tackler Nick Barnett and No. 2 tackler George Wilson. The Bills' fourth-leading tackler, safey Jairus Byrd, isn't under contract.

Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been fined $7,500 by the NFL for his roughing-the-passer penalty on Cleveland quarterback Jake Delhomme.
Suh grabbed Delhomme's face mask and twisted it. He wrapped his arms around the quarterback's head and slammed him to the ground in
an exhibition game last Saturday.
Suh says he didn't know Delhomme had thrown the ball before he hit him.
Suh, a former Husker, was the second overall pick in the April draft.

Honda Accord Modifications
stevehecht Posts: 96My Honda mechanic says it's not, that unless you've got enough g's being generated you'll never feel the difference. I've got a '07 V6 AT with a 17mm TL rear sway bar added. To my mind even a small improvement in handling is worth the $127 investment for a Neuspeed strut bar. Opinions?
qbrozen Posts: 17,150not a chance in hell any chip is getting those improvements. That kind of HP bump would only happen in a turbo car, and those mileage improvements would never happen in ANY car.
I don't now who this manufacturer is, but an N/A car might see 10 hp from a good reprogram, often at the cost of torque in the case of a modern engine, but no mileage improvement. What a reprogram often does is set the timing permanently to a higher octane fuel. So, in order to get those extra 10 ponies, you'll be required to use premium in your Accord.
