Honda S2000 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Well, just went into Stevens Creek Honda here in San Jose, CA, and got the dark gray with all black interior for $29,200 + taxes&license. They had 10 in stock.
They thought that I was going to finance thru them which was currently 1.9% with Honda Financing, but I chose to buy it outright. I guess they were trying to hit their Memorial Weekend Day numbers.
Haggling point was the fact that this is the LAST year they will build the S2000 and these cars are not flying off the showrooms. Though it is the best bang for the buck, Honda cannot afford to keep this slick machine on the roads. It has been a money losing venture like the NSX. I'm very sad to see this car go, but it's business. Honda should learn something from Porsche and Mazda with their respective Boxster and Miata. Both are very lucrative niches that they possess and Honda should muscle their way into one or the other.
I digress...Get in there and pay no more than $29,500. Don't get the body kit and since this the most reliable sports car out on the market, you won't need the extended warranty - a $2000 waste and another way for the dealer to screw you.
Also buy a car with less than 10 miles on it...otherwise, it was the demo car and you should still be able to knock down the price even further (depending on the mileage a few hundred bucks).
Well best of luck to you all and hope to see you out there in those S2000's.
Congrats on the new car.
Upon what do you base your statement that this is the last year for the S2000?
Also, I paid $800 or so for my 7yr/75k/$0 deductible HondaCare back when my S was just under 2 years old. The current price is a bit higher from a discount HondaCare dealer, but certainly no where near the $2k the dealer tried to get from you :-)
I stopped for gas in mine last night, top down of course. There was an 04 or 05 silverstone in front of me - which is a rare sight and to have 2 S2000s at the station at the same time is really unusual. He had the top up and latched down. I don't think he even noticed I was in an S as well. I was going to say something like "Are you waiting for a nice day to put the top down?" (if was sunny and mid 70s - perfect) - but he went in to pay and stayed inside talking to the cashier for a while so I left. Of course, I was behind a smurf blue Miata at lunch yesterday with the hard top still on. I wonder if they know it comes off?
Please drive yours with the top down as much as possible. Thank you
Over 25mpg on this last tank commuting to work and back, VTEC'ing as much as possible. It is such a sweet car!
habitat1 Posts: 4,282I also would like to know your source of information that this is the last year of the S2000. I don't have information to the contrary, I'm just trying to sort out rumor from fact.
One fact I will dispute is that the S2000 was a money losing venture for Honda. When I bought my 2002 in late 2001, I got a $800 discount to MSRP on a snowy day in DC. The TMV for northern California at the time was $36,800, $4,000 OVER MSRP. And that was a full two years after the original 2000 model had been introduced. A friend who lives in the Bay Area bought a Boxster at a $2,500 discount and later wished he had gone for the S2000, even with the Californai price premiums.
So, although S2000's are now being discounted to invoice, they had the longest run of "premium pricing" of any car I have researched, other than the Ferrari 360. Way longer than anything by Porsche or Mazda. The fact that they only made 6,000 per year for import to the US was intentional and limited by their partially hand built manufacturing process. I have seen some detailed financials on Honda. I would not dispute the fact that the consumer is getting a spectacular deal on all of the ground up engineering costs which were written off as corporate marketing and development. However, Honda got plenty of bang for their buck with the S2000. If nothing else, they sent Porsche back to the drawing boards three times to increase the power of their base Boxster, trying to keep up with a 6 year old S2000.
The NSX was a different story and, in my opinion, wasn't nearly as impressive from a relative standpoint as the S2000.
Selling price has little to do with how much money Honda made on the S2000, unless there was dealer money on the car the dealer paid invoice less hold back no matter what they charged.
Now the price you COULD get is a direct reflection of how well or how poorly the car was doing, sales-wise. With limited production each dealer knew they would only get a few so would not deal since the knew they could sell them. Those same dealers have several sitting on the lot un-sold and some even have un-sold new 04 cars!
These are April 05 numbers, since May is not out yet:
April April DSR** April April DSR**
2005 2004 % Chg. 2005 2004 % Chg.
This is the final tally for calendar year 2004 VS 2003:
So 760 in one month or 7,320 in the whole year (and 7,888 the prior year) is a low volume car, for sure.
When you compare these numbers against other slow sellers like the RX-8, THEY seem to be flying off the lot in comparison :-) Compared to the G35/350Z this is not even a blip on their RADAR.
I hope they keep making the S, I love mine and I am thinking of selling my 2001 and getting a new 2005 or 2006 (assuming they make one) to get the updates and a newer car.
From the current offers sections on the Honda web page. This is about $100 less per month than the last time I ran the numbers. Note that it calls for a hefty cap cost reduction, but almost all of that can be done via discount on the price of the car. The net cap cost for the example lease is $29,333.63 which is just a little lower than you can get the dealer to go on the car. Also this is an example, so can pay less down and just pay more per month.

gsolman6 Posts: 28I live in Austin but bought it with 26k from a guy in Houston.
Cons: a few small scratches, 1 minor accident(but excellent repair job), rattle behind right seat, needs 2 rears tires
Pros: has extended warranty until 2009, color I wanted, unmodded/not abused, mechanically sound(was inspected by a mobile service)one of the 2 years I wanted, had to shop for new insurance and got a quote lower than before but with more coverage.
I have to say I am quite happy with this purchase. I thought about a new S but did not think they were worth the extra money in spite of enhancements.
Hard to believe that this is the last year, but ask the Honda dealer and the honest ones will tell you that this is the last year for the S2000. This appears to be the answer most of the dealers are giving...after having been to 3 in the SF area for the best deal. However, it may be a marketing trick, so who really knows. But the only reason I asked the dealers, was from an article that I read last year. I can't remember the exact date of the source, but it came from MotorTrend about 6 months ago in their editorials.
I'm loving my S2000 and it truly was one of the better deals on any car that I have bought.
However, didn't know of the Honda Care. Should I go back and get it? I just thought of it as a way for them to ask for more money since they made little on the car. $2000 seemed way excessive, but maybe I can get them to come down on that price as well.
Have you had need for the Honda Care or is it a comfort of mind thing?
Thanks in Advance. BTW I'm not getting quite the mileage that you are. At least after my 2 tanks, about 21-22 miles/gallon.
Sounds like a decent deal, $21k for an 02. Sort of high miles for an S, but that should not be an issue with a Honda. I got my 01 used as well, and it was nice to be able to talk the original owner and not some car lot. He was an old fart (even older than me) and I don't know if he ever VTECH'd the motor or not :-)
I assume the warranty is the HondaCare? Be SURE you get a transfer paper signed by the prior owner and send in your $50 fee right way. It DOES NOT go with the car, but with the car+owner combo so if you try to take it in for extended warranty under your name it will be no go unless get it transferred. Depending on the miles (70k or 100k) and deductible that is worth another $1k or a little more - which makes your deal that much sweeter.
A 2L I4, 2 seats, and the $32k MSRP have kept the S from being popular with a lot of younger folks. They TEND to have more claims and drive the cost of insurance up for everyone. The S used to be really inexpensive to insure, but so many used ones available for lower prices have led it to be re-rated by most companies (more accident prone folks driving them now).
I love the Suzuka blue paint - very sharp.
You can get it at a discount price from one of the "Internet" HondaCare dealers like http://www.collegehillshonda.com/hondacare/warranty.htm or http://www.curryhondacare.com/pricing.cfm .
I paid $825 for my 7yr/75k/$0 plan a couple of years ago. Looks like the same plan is around $100 or a little more higher. I would suppose that means Honda has had to pay some claims?
I don't have any questions about the car, but Honda only gives you 3/36k on a new car, this was a lot of money, and parts and labor are sky-high. Plus this is a 9k (or 8.5k) high output (near race) motor so it may not last as long as an Accord I4 or something.
You can wait until just under 24 months from new or 24,000 miles and purchase the plan at the same price. There is a $60 fee if you wait past that point but are under 36/36k then the fee goes to $160 and after 42/42k you can't get it at all. No need to rush to get the plan - just keep in mind a good time is right before those times and get it then.
myrtlemtn Posts: 3I have a 2001 S2000 which I purchased in September of 2000. At the time I searched for this car all over Southern California and found it very difficult to find. I was told that this car was a 3-year production car and that Honda's intention was to keep it limited and bring it back ten years later. They must have "changed their minds" as now I see them everywhere and it is 2005. In my short commute to the office everyday I cross paths with at least ten of them in all colors!! Not to sound cynical, but I am convinced salespeople will use every tactic!!!
anythngbutgm Posts: 4,173Drove an 02 Suzuka Blue back to back with an 05 gun-metal Gray on Sunday. The 02 has just 12k on the clock and the dealer wanted $24,900. Front clip was scuffed in a few locations and there were some scrathes which I did not care for. So now I want the 05. We are in the process of haggling right now and are pursuing a price $29,000.
Two questions, the 02 was crazy fast, but I couldn't seem to get the thing to rev anywhere near the 9000 mark. I was shifting at around 5500, seemed like it would take me 20 miles to get to the 9 grand mark, it just didn't want to get there... Is this normal?
The 05 was so much different, It was more like driving my Accord than the '02 S2K. Does the motor really loosen up that much as the miles accumulate? It wasn't a slug, but it didn't seem to have the crazy nature of the '02...
Thanks for the help in advance.
We've negotiated the deal on the car - they had to get it from another dealer, I guess(?). We signed a "Buyers Order" and gave them a check for $1000. They called yesterday to say the car was there and will be ready when we're ready to take delivery next week. Husband decided to get the extended warranty, so we get them to ammend the buyers order which was faxed to me this morning. It states on the ammended "Buyers Order" the VIN # and that the car has 149 miles on it.
Does that mean that it could have been a demo and was driven wildly by test drivers? What if, anything, should we do?
kyfdx Posts: 27,708Do you know what dealer the car came from? They usually drive cars between dealers... old retired guys...
149 miles is not much... If it was a test driver, it didn't get very many drives.. We all want cars with 4 miles on them, but it doesn't always happen.. Especially with a model that some dealers only keep two or three of...
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
I got quotes online before going to dealerships. First we're thinking Used Car. We go test drive 2004 S2000 with only 8800 miles at Dealer A. Nice car. We go home and talk, search prices and find New are not much more than the Used. Decide on New. Find online price of $30299. Call Dealer A - they say ok but can you just call them and ask them about extras they add on, etc. I say I did and only tax, title & doc fees are added. He asked me to call the online dealer back with another question. I say ok but don't. Why should I if they want to sell me a car?
I find Dealer B. I call and they match the $30299 price. We go and test drive new car. They don't have the color I want. We sign a Buyer's Order for the black car, give them a check for $1000 'Earnest Money". They call and say the car is there and ask when we want to take delivery. I asked for an ammended Buyer's Order with the Extended Warranty added which was faxed to me this morning. As of yet, it is unsigned.
The sales Manager for Dealer A calls today and says they want my business. They have a new Black '05 and they will beat the other dealer's price, throw in a 250,000 mile Powertrain warranty, and deliver the car to my house (50 miles one way) and bring the paperwork.
What do I do since Dealer B has our $1000 check and the Buyer's Order?
The 2.0 motor (and I assume the newer, larger motor) has two rev limiters in it - one is the cold limiter and the other is at 9k. When the water temp has not reached operating temp (three bars on the display) you can't "VTEC" the motor and it bumps it on the cold limiter. Once it is fully warmed up it should wind to the full 9k without problem. You should feel and hear the VTEC when it kicks in at 5k or so.
If you shift before the VTEC you are driving a 100hp car :-)
The newer car will loosen up over time, but it will never rev to 9k :-) The newer motor has more torque so will pull better from a stop and before you hit the VTEC zone.
I agree with kyfdx, I would like a no miles car but that just is not practical. Most of the time the "runner" that goes and gets the car is the one that puts the miles on it (or some of them) anyway. Too expensive to flat bed the car from dealer to dealer.
My slightly used 2001 S had just over 1k on it when I got it and it has been just fine.
Wow! An S2k for a first car - not bad. Mine first new car was a '79 Fiat X1/9 - which was a heck of a lot of fun for that time.
No, not my first car... my 1st NEW car. We have had new cars every 2-3 years, which the hubby usually has 98% of the time. This one he's buying for me (birthday/anniversary gift) and it will be mine all mine! I have had a nearly-new car but never a brand new one that was all mine.
Honda does not offer a "250,000 mile" warranty so that is some 3rd party thing that MAY not be worth the paper it is written on. So that just means how much will they beat the other dealer by. Sounds like you got a decent price if they don't add a bunch of dealer fees on it. I would tend to stick to my word - I said I would buy it from dealer B and gave them a check so unless dealer A blew the deal into the weeds I would honor my "promise" and get the car from B. If A gives YOU a signed order a lot less and no fees, then I would be tempted to call dealer B and explain the situation. A deal is a deal, but saving money is saving money.
Keep in mind dealer B had to go get (or swap) for the color you want - so they are out some time and trouble if you back out of the deal. If the "A" dealer wanted your business they should have stepped up to the plate the first time. I would get their out the door offer, but unless it is just serious bucks below "B" then honor your word.
Also, you can get a HondaCare extended warranty (the ONLY one to get) for a discount online - it does not have to be purchased with the car. I am better the dealer is making a lot of money off of your warranty purchase.
for example gets $1,285 for the 7yr/100k/$0 deductible plan, the 7/75k/$0 should be $200 or so less. Other dealers online may have a lower price. DO NOT PAY your dealer too much for the warranty - either have them match the online price or get it elsewhere.
Also, I always recommend waiting before getting the warranty. It is pro-rated refunded should your car be totalled, stolen, or you trade it in. There is almost NO reason to start this "clock" now when you can buy for the same price in 24,000 miles or 24 months. It goes up $60 if you wait until 36,000 and 26 months.

Mexican eatery coming to 37 Market Square
Blue Coast Burrito, a Nashville-based Mexican eatery, is planning to open a two-story restaurant at 37 Market Square, the former site of Gus's and the Gold Sun.
The president and CEO of Blue Coast is Bob Speck, whose son, Chad, is a sports agent with an office next door. Bob Speck said Tuesday that Blue Coast uses all-fresh ingredients to create what he described as a Baja flavor profile. Speck said the Knoxville location -- to be called Blue Coast Burrito Grille & Margarita Loft -- will be a little different from the typical Blue Coast style, with changes including a slightly expanded menu and the margarita loft on the second floor.
Speck said he joined the company in 2008, around the time that a previous Blue Coast restaurant in Knoxville had closed. He said the previous entry into Knoxville was premature, but that the timing is now right.
While Knoxville is already home to fast-casual Mexican chains like Moe's and Salsarita's -- with Chipotle on the way -- Speck said Blue Coast is unique in its look, feel and flavor profile. "Certainly those are all legitimate concepts," he said, "(but) we feel that our ...food quality stands out significantly."
Speck estimated that the new location will open by January.
37 Market Square was purchased in 2008 by Glenn Laiken, a California expat best known as the fashion designer behind Dr. Phil and L.A. Lakers coach Phil Jackson. After buying the property Laiken eventually razed most of the dilapidated building but left the facade in place.

By BRAD KELLAR
Herald-Banner Staff
A Royse City man, who pleaded guilty to an organized crime indictment involving a truck theft ring operating out of the Dallas area, has been sentenced to prison and placed on probation.
Yosvani Bacallao-Dominguez, 37, who has also listed an address in Irving, was formally sentenced during a hearing in the 354th District Court Monday to two years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Institutional Division and was placed on 10 years of probation.
Bacallao-Dominguez entered open pleas Aug. 22 to one count each of engaging in organized criminal activity, theft of property of the value of more than $200,000 and theft of property of the value of between $20,000 and $100,000.
An open plea means no plea bargain agreement had been arranged in the case and that Bacallao-Dominguez was subject to the full range of punishment.
He was facing a maximum sentence of up to life in prison on the engaging in organized criminal activity and the more serious felony theft charges, which are both first degree felonies, and 10 years in prison on the felony theft count, which is a third degree felony.
The probations were assessed on the first degree felonies and the prison sentence was handed down on the lesser felony theft charge.
Gricel Grijalva, 30, of Royse City, entered an open guilty plea during a Sept. 13 hearing to one count of engaging in organized criminal activity/theft over $200,000 and a sentencing hearing is set for Oct. 23.
Arnold A. Zamora was found guilty by a jury in May of three counts, including engaging in organized crime. The same panel sentenced Zamora to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors claim Bacallao-Dominguez and Zamora were involved an elaborate scheme to steal trailers out of Dallas.
Two other defendants — Manuel H. Arias-Robaina and Elvis Pedraza — have trials pending.
On the night of March 5, 2010 deputies from the Hunt County Sheriff's Office joined officers from other area law enforcement agencies in checking a trailer outside a residence on County Road 2472.
The trailer did turn out to be reported stolen, along with a Toshiba television and other items.
A Penske truck was reported having left the residence earlier in the day and was stopped in Dallas County, where authorities discovered it contained more than 170 stolen Toshiba televisions.
A search warrant served on the residence on County Road 2472 revealed the recreational vehicle, in which Bacallao-Dominguez and his family had been living, had been reported stolen by the Mesquite Police Department.
A Kubota tractor and two semi trailers found on the property were also reported as stolen.
An engaging in organized criminal activity indictment filed against Gisel Cruz of Royse City was dismissed.

Match Preview
Millar: Saints seething over exit St Johnstone midfielder Chris Millar admits the Perth men are burning with a sense of injustice following their Europa League exit - and are ready to take out their frustrations on Kilmarnock. Tommy Wright's side will travel to Rugby Park for Sunday's Scottish Premiership fixture still hurting from their third qualifying round defeat to FC Minsk. The Belarusians became the first foreign side to win a European tie in the Fair City after Milos Rnic struck 15 minutes from time to cancel out Steven MacLean's first-leg winner. The Serbia international's strike sent the game into extra time but with no further goals, a penalty shoot-out was required. But Saints kissed goodbye to hopes of landing a B#1.1million boost and place in the group stages when skipper Dave Mackay, Paddy Cregg and MacLean all missed from the spot. However, Millar insists the wrong team went through to the play-off round. He told Press Association Sport: "We're a better team than Minsk - there is no doubt in my mind. Over the two legs I thought we had done enough to get through but we never. We missed three penalties and that's it now. Football can be a cruel sport sometimes and it hurts. "The boys are despondent right now but come Sunday we will be ready for Kilmarnock. The games are coming thick and fast and Sunday's match is important. There's no doubt, we'll be firing on all guns for that game. We want to continue on our good run." St Johnstone will have virtually a full squad to chose from as they look to bounce back and are only missing long-term absentee David Robertson (broken leg). Darren Barr admits Kilmarnock will be looking to exploit any post-European frailties St Johnstone may bring with them to Ayrshire. Asked about the possible shape the Saints players may be in as they return to league duty, 28-year-old Barr, who became Allan Johnston's first signing for Killie in the summer after his contract at administration-hit Hearts came to an end, said: "It is hard to say. I know that they will be a bit sore and we want to take advantage of that. "It was a shame that happened but at the end of the day, you want them to do well for Scottish football but we can only think of ourselves and we want to do our best if there is a bit of tiredness. "But we will wait and see. You never know how it works out with teams. "Sometimes it revives them, it gives them a lift but hopefully we can take advantage if there is a weakness there." Barr believes the Killie strike duo of Kris Boyd and Paul Heffernan can give the Ayrshire side the edge over many sides this season. Boyd, who started his senior career with the Rugby Park club, signed a one-year deal in the summer following a loan spell in the second part of last season after returning to Scotland from Portland Timbers. The former Rangers and Middlesbrough striker showed his renowned eye for a goal when he scored in last week's 2-1 opening-day defeat by Aberdeen at Pittodrie, which further encouraged Barr. The former Falkirk and Hearts defender said: "There are some really talented young players here and we have some goalscorers in our team and that is a massive difference. "You can see with Kris Boyd and Paul Heffernan that we have goals there. "Hopefully we can keep a clean sheet against St Johnstone, as a defender that's what we are especially keen to do. "We were disappointed with last Saturday and we want to show that we can do better." Skipper Manuel Pascali is back in the Kilmarnock squad for the clash. The Italian defender has been out since suffering a hamstring injury in February but played part of a reserve game in midweek, although he is not likely to feature against the McDiarmid Park men. Boss Johnston is looking to bolster his squad, but is unlikely to have anyone in before the visit of the Perth side.

There seem to be these periodic flare-ups in the blogosphere and community site circuit where some poor programming language ends up being skewered thoroughly by roving gangs of self-righteous programmers. One or two articles will suddenly receive wide circulation listing arguments why language X is clearly a horrible choice for any "real programmer", and then examples to prove this will inevitably be given:
"false" equals
(++*p1)++[--x] is actually a valid expression, or
Begin and
End are used instead of
{ and
}. The couple of articles defending the language that inevitably appear will receive long streams of comments vilifying the author for being an idiot, or even worse, a hack. The sad realty of all the hullabaloo, however, is that all of this is ultimately pointless, and typically based on some silly assumptions.
The first is that somehow some languages are "better" than others. If your language doesn't fully support the lambda calculus, or some other Feature X, it must not be worth using goes the thinking. As I've programmed in various capacities and looked at hundreds of thousands of lines of code over the years, I've never once thought to myself how the task would have been easier if that supposed missing feature were truly there. Ah, reply the nay-sayers, you only think that way because you have never known Feature X and how it could help. To which one must reply: hogwash. Computers, open source, and the Internet definitely all have one thing in common: brutal application of free market supply and demand. If having Feature X really would make my web application development significantly easier, somebody would have already written a language or environment that used it.
Another argument against the demonised language of the week has it that some people are "real programmers", while everybody else is just a hack. Back when I worked on the Visual Basic products at Microsoft in the 1990s, surprising numbers of us on the team developing the language (myself included) would proudly declare that we worked on the product, but would never actually admit to using it, because it wasn't a real language, and real programmers, with degrees in computer science from prestigious universities, wouldn't dare to stoop to that level.
There are two major problems with this argument. First and foremost, Visual Basic is actually a perfectly fine language. For earlier versions, you could spend about an hour and write a fun little game that you could then send around in email. There would be your program EXE File of about 20-30k, and a 60k Visual Basic runtime. That's it. Something similar in C would take at least a weekend, and not be significantly smaller. On a contract in 2003, I had to write some large and non-trivial samples in a number of different languages, and I recall VB as being not particularly annoying to use.
The second problem with this argument is the more dangerous of the two: that somehow a Computer Science graduate, or a "real" programmer who uses a "real language" is better than one who does not. Stop and take a few minutes to look at the history of the websites that you use every day. Apart from places like Google, where the underlying technology was a pretty serious piece of code right from day one, most if the sites you are using were not written by mega-super-awesome programmers, but people who had an idea, were extremely motivated, and had a combination of skills that were good enough and a programming environment compatible with those skills. Two of the better programmers I have ever met actually never took any Computer Science classes—one can write code so insanely complex but workable that your head will goggle, and the other continues to put together very successful web applications on sheer will (and Google search) alone.
Indeed, I've typically found the most "skilled and real" computer programmers I know don't actually adapt to the web that well, as they (we) tend to bog down in implementation details and infrastructure and "doing things right". Just writing code, not worrying about every single boundary condition and cranking things out and pushing out releases as fast as humanly possible feels alien. Yet, the fact is: the Internet isn't "things done right". It's things done fast enough and good enough for the masses.
And so, while we're sitting here arguing about whether PHP sucks, or whether Ruby truly is the best language in the history of mankind, the real web entrepreneurs are out there pounding away in Tcl/Tk, Perl, or COBOL, and making the millions.
The lesson? Shut up and code.
Well I have spent a lot of time indulged in VB and cannot deny its virtues. It served as the initial igniter
but everything has its moments and its lifetime so is VB.
Now I enjoy different programming languages, not constrained by the limitations of mainstream languages like it. That 's simply a matter of curiosity and got a lot to do with self-development and it's up to the individual...
Lately I have noticed a new kind of virus, which spreaded thru the USB-Flash or HD Drives and after a short inspection I've noticed that it was written in VB! I've smiled remembering my days in VB. Someone who hasn't changed the programming language had tried and succeded writing a good virus program exclusively in VB.
That was cool. And, that was also the pleasure in colorfulness and multi-paradigm of the world. Everyone's freedom to choose what he/she likes to choose. That's it.
Last word on the subject: Steve McConnell was saying in one of his articles, which I can summarize as follows: "It 's not the language, it's the programmer that matters" That is all.
Ah wait, maybe Ruby on Rails is fun, yeah sure, maybe 3 years ago, now we have more and better frameworks. So thanks Rails, but we'll take it from here ;)

TUMWATER — The conference title is all but out of reach for the River Ridge girls basketball team.
However, second place comes with a few perks of its own.
Jazzlyn Brewster scored 18 points, MaKenna Schultz added 17 and the Hawks inched a little closer to securing the 2A Evergreen Conference's second seed with a 58-48 road victory over Black Hills on Friday night.
"You always say you want to be playing your best at the end of the season," River Ridge coach Jackie Robinson said. "I think we're doing that."
River Ridge (13-4 overall)
improved its EvCo mark to 8-2 with the win, moving two full games ahead of the Wolves (13-5, 6-4) in the standings with two regular-season games remaining.
W.F. West, the only team to defeat the Hawks in conference play this season, sits atop the standings with an unblemished EvCo record.
River Ridge closes out the regular season with a pair of games at home – hosting Aberdeen on Tuesday and Tumwater on Feb. 5. A win in either of those games or a Black Hills loss gives the Hawks second place.
Besides bragging rights over the third-place team in the standings, what exactly makes being the runner-up so appealing?
"The second-place team gets to play at home during the first round of the district playoffs," Robinson said. "That's big. The third-place team opens the playoffs on the road. We'd much rather be at home."
Robinson's squad placed itself in excellent position to accomplish that goal by turning numerous Black Hills turnovers into transition points as the Hawks swept the regular season series against the Wolves.
River Ridge also defeated the Wolves, 78-60, on Dec. 21.
In the first match-up Brewster scored 24 points and Schultz, a freshman, scored a career-high 23 points. It was more of the same in the rematch as the back court duo provided plenty of offensive punch for the Hawks.
"We are still a young team. We are still learning," Robinson said. "I really think when we get out and run we're a much better team. Tonight we were able to do that at times. Plus, I thought we are rebounding better."
Black Hills, which trailed by as many as 17 points in the second half, cut the deficit to 49-43 on Sarah McGee's bucket with 61/2 minutes to play.
Brewster took control of the game from there, going on a game-deciding 9-0 run, which the junior guard capped with a 3-pointer.
"When we play pressure defense it makes us want to get out and run," Robinson said. "It all comes from our defense."
McGee, whose 15 points led the Wolves, scored nine in the first quarter to help Black Hills get off to a fast start.
The Wolves held a 12-6 advantage in the first quarter before a rash of turnovers surfaced, which River Ridge quickly turned into easy baskets.
River Ridge used runs of 10-2 and 10-0 to take a 35-25 lead at the half, getting 13 points from Brewster and 10 from Schultz to erase the early deficit.
Sophomore Savannah McGill added 12 points for the Hawks.
Black Hills also received 14 points from Hope Mortensen.

Bay City News — UPDATED 11:53 a.m.: Two suspects were arrested Monday morning after one of the California Highway Patrol cars chasing them flipped during the pursuit.
Officers spotted an Infiniti speeding east on I-580 near Isabel Avenue in Livermore at about 3:20 a.m., CHP spokeswoman Diana McDermott said. When a CHP officer attempted to stop the car, the driver sped off, McDermott said.
A chase ensued, with the driver reaching speeds of 100 mph, she said. Two officers in a separate patrol car assisted in the pursuit. The assisting patrol car hit an embankment during the chase and overturned near Altamont Pass Road, causing minor injuries to both officers, McDermott said.
The first patrol car was able to pull over the Infiniti in the Stockton area at about 3:40 a.m. and the two suspects were taken into custody, McDermott said. CHP is still investigating the incident.

How Alzheimer's Will Change Your Workplace
With workers taking care of aging spouses and parents, firms are scrambling to help lighten the load.
If employers want to see the future of the workforce, they need look no further than Pat Zajdel. A fifty-something telecommunications account manager at George Washington University, Zajdel noticed a few years ago that her husband had begun acting strangely. As his condition quickly deteriorated, two things became clear: he was exhibiting signs of dementia, and Pat's working life was going to suffer because of it.
[SLIDESHOW: 6 Ways to Protect Yourself Against Alzheimer's and Dementia]
She describes his time in a rehabilitation facility as a period of regular interruption. "It was back and forth to there, and I would get calls that there was a situation, and I'd have to leave work right away."
Zajdel's difficulties are far from unique. A recent survey showed that 15 percent of American workers either are or have been caregivers for people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and nearly half of those people say they were able to keep working while caring for their loved ones.
And with baby boomers now in their fifties and early sixties, the phenomenon is likely to grow. According to the Alzheimer's Association, more than 5 million seniors in the U.S. have Alzheimer's, a figure that is expected to balloon to 6.7 million by 2025. That sets the stage for a shift in America's workplaces, forcing employers to find new ways to accommodate employees who need to care for loved ones.
Boomers are often called a "sandwich generation," caring for both children and aging parents. And as the oldest boomers age, spouses add to the pressures.
"There's three sides to the sandwich. You have your kids, you have your parents, and you also have your spouse," says Linda Barrington, managing director of the Institute for Compensation Studies at Cornell University's school of Industrial and Labor Relations.
[READ: Is It Time to Find Elder Care for Your Aging Parent?]
Having such tightly sandwiched employees could be a major drag on businesses, as the affected workers will be those who have been around for decades and therefore have deep experience and institutional memory, says Barrington. If they feel the pressure to quit, it could mean a major blow to the employers that depend on their skills.
It's not just a question of keeping employees at the office; workers whose minds are at work and not at home with their ailing relatives are more productive workers. Zajdel has hired an in-home care provider to stay with her husband during the day, but she says that even the few hours each morning when her husband is home alone leave her on edge, and she acknowledges that the worry can eat into her productivity.
"Because I leave for work by seven in the morning, and his care service starts at 10, I have a certain amount of anxiety until 10, when they get there," she says.
Having an in-home provider helped Pat stay at work—both physically and mentally—and companies are catching on that this benefit.
One major corporation says that providing elder care assistance is a matter of attracting and keeping the best workers.
"We look at this as part of our total rewards package to our people," says Mary Stringfield, national director of accounting firm Ernst & Young's rewards and benefits program. "We look at it as a recruiting and retention factor as well, because we know that the people who are able to somehow try to maintain some semblance of order in their personal lives, family lives, [and] work lives are much more loyal employees to our firm."
[SEE: U.S. News' Best Nursing Homes]
Stringfield says she's used Ernst & Young's elder care program, which offers referrals to care providers, discounted rates, and access to an emergency backup care provider. The goal is to help workers to continue their work uninterrupted, says Stringfield. The company also offers subsidized backup care to employees working "beyond typical business hours."
The nation's shifting demographics are clearly pushing companies into offering more options for their workers, says Bruce Elliott, manager of compensation and benefits at the Society for Human Resource Management.

TravelPod Member ReviewsUsa Hostel Hong Kong
It was a good place to stay although not the best but for the price and the ambiance it was so so... :D
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
USA Hostel is affordable and the rooms is clean. It has small comfort room but it has hot and cold shower which is primarily good for those who wants to have a warm bath. However, nearby areas is somehow distracting since lots of black americans, muslims, indians are roaming around at night.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
My husband and I touched down past midnight at Hong Kong so we were already exhausted when we arrived at the hostel. We had made sure to notify them of our arrival time so we could settle in right away. However, we were made to wait outside their office for thirty minutes without any chair.
We were briskly told that they are fully booked so they can't give us (for that night only) the room we reserved but they will give us a "bigger" room along with two other persons in the same room! The room was unkempt and smelled of something foul, and there were some clothes that were hanging inside the room. The bathroom was moldy and run-down. We couldn't sleep well because we had two other strangers in the room and the room wasn't clean at all.
The next day, they moved us to the room we had reserved: hot shower and wi-fi were working, room is small but we knew that already, and toilet cramped but clean. It was then that we realized that the first-night's room served as a backroom and/or storage area for guests wanting to leave their luggage and for other purposes. I'm not a vain person and I can generally adapt fast but what happened to us on our first night in Hong Kong was just unfair and inhuman. If not for this stressful experience, I would have given USA Hostel an average rating.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
It has a great location, being less than five minute walk to the all the attractions along Hong Kongs Victoria Harbour. Its also very close to Kowloon Park and its right across the road from the new iSquare shopping complex. Temple St Night market is within walking distance too.
But the staff was unfriendly. The bed sheet dirty because there's a bug make my body itching. The bathroom so small and dirty.

Stillwater —
Any bit of help is welcome in tornado-stricken Moore — whether its cleaning up a cemetery or grilling a fresh meal for victims and relief helpers.
Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Travis Ford — along with members of his coaching staff, several Stillwater residents and OSU police officers — did the latter on Thursday by hauling an industrial-sized grill down to Moore and grilling burgers and hot dogs throughout the day.
"I think we're going to the night down here and cook throughout the night," Ford said by phone Thursday afternoon. "We were cooking by 11 o'clock or so and it's been non-stop since. As fast we can get them off, they're eating them. It's been almost overwhelming how appreciative everyone has been."
The OSU coach came up with the idea of taking a cooker down to Moore after talking with friends who had assisted in other major natural disasters.
"I'd had a couple of friends who had been to Katrina and helped, and to Joplin, and I called them and asked them what they did and one of them told me they had hooked up one of these industrial grills behind their truck and loaded up hamburgers and hot dogs and took off," Ford said. "I just thought that was a really good idea. So I threw my coaching staff together and said, 'Hey, this is what we're going to do. I'm going to find a grill, find as many hot dogs and hamburgers as I can find and buns.' And we got it all together in the matter of a day."
Ford said the reception has been very positive of the OSU coaching staff helping in the aid efforts following Monday's deadly tornado that ravaged Moore. Ford said he has had people asking for photos with the Cowboy coach, which he has gladly obliged to be a part of.
"It's been tremendous. It's amazing how appreciative everybody is," the sixth-year OSU coach said. "They'll come by and ask for pictures and things like that — which we love to do. Anything to help lighten the mood, we'll do anything that can help. It's been a great response."
Assisting Oklahomans in need is particularly important for one member on Ford's staff. Former OSU player and Pawnee native Keiton Page, who joined the coaching staff last year after graduating, joined in the grilling effort along with his girlfriend.
"He's been here the whole time and even his girlfriend, who is actually competing in Miss Oklahoma here in the next week or so, took her time to come down and help us," Ford said.
Serving mass amounts of food is nothing new to Ford. The Oklahoma State coach helped served pancakes to OSU students at the student union during finals week in December.
"We were talking about that a while ago and how I didn't want to see a pancake forever after that," Ford said. "I'll tell you, I'm getting my worth of hamburgers and hot dogs now. But it's all well worth it."

Hi Emilia How do you know I am Catholic? Making quite an assumption there, aren't you? You're the…Read More one who went to Catholic school for 8 years - according to one of your posts. Guess none of the 10 Commandments stuck in your moral fiber.... Remember the one , " Thou shalt not kill ?" Oh, or that one for the new doctors - the Hippocratic Oath ? First of all - Do no HARM ? And you were a history teacher? Glad I wasn't in your dogmatic class where it must have been your way or the highway. You say that Dogfood and I are too emotional?? And then there's you, so very logical, aren't you? Now that you have said you were a history teacher . All I can say is Wow !and you STILL think wars are about religion? Jeez, where did you go to college? Those who don't study the past are doomed to repeat it....as you know, being a history teacher. Still waiting for your comments on the Mother Teresa quotes . Funny, how you just skipped over them. And chose instead to attack my logic with sarcasm? And also my personal story? What's your personal story ? Guess it's not germane to the subject. Mine was - that's why I shared it. And you chose to denigrate it. try looking up Rowe vs Wade and see where those people are now and what they now believe, it's very enlightening .But you don't ever seem to have any background info. The vast majority of abortions are a form of birth control. Don't believe me ? Look it up. You just seem to be really threatened by someone's OPINION ( and that's all it really is - in the scheme of things) that your belief is not a moral one and that it is ok to murder the unborn and you just go on and on....maybe you yourself have had an abortion. I don't know because you have not shared your story and you have every right not to. But I chose to ... And for you to say that the story took the place of logic is sad to me. Because you know that was not the reason I shared it.... So, in closing I have to say that we are all very lucky to have the right to disagree in public forums like this and no secret police are showing up at our doors. I am done sharing my thoughts. Hopefully I have planted some seeds that will take root and maybe just one of the women reading this will change her mind and offer her child up for adoption. And may that child grow up to invent something that will save lives,enrich our minds, ignite a passion in us, etc. And to those of you who got so angry , well I hope I made you at least think about your basic beliefs and I leave you with one last question ..... " what if you are wrong? " Take care everyone . PS I don't even live in Westchester County , and this email from The Harrison Patch just appeared in my email a few days ago. Go figure ......
Emilia July 14, 2014 at 05:18 pm
Ms Carullo: First of all, LEARN HOW TO READ! I never said that I was a history teacher. Actually,…Read More I taught high school English. Let me address some of your statements. !) I never said the you were Catholic; 2) I do live by the 10 commandments, contrary to what you believe. You and I have a different opinion about the 5th one, obviously; 3) The Mother Teresa quote is not relevant to me or the issue. There are many wonderful, benevolent women out there who have unselfishly given of themselves, as she did, who don't share her views about "killing a child." And they are not necessarily steeped in such a religious background. You just chose one whose views came from her Catholic upbringing; 4) And again, let me point out that you chose to ignore my comment that you contradicted yourself when you said that, "Women should be responsible for their own bodies." That is faulty logic on your part. By the way, thank you for saying that I am "so very logical." I strive to be logical and, unlike you, I realize that my personal story is not relevant to the issue at hand. Lastly, I find it scary to think that you are any kind of teacher, the way you ramble on with emotional baggage and issues personal to you, infusing religion into debates where it does not belong, and throwing logic to the wind. I sincerely hope that you kept religion out of your classroom, if you teach in a public school.

Slow Poke Law: Does New York Need It?

Let's find some common ground that's also safe to everyone on the road. Job pressures, productivity demands, stressful commutes, economic stress. We are all pressured. Don't take it out on each other. Give the 99% a break and tax the Koch Brothers and their ilk. Then maybe we'd all be a little more relaxed.

On passing, I have seen them on the phone, texting, reading a book, looking at a map, all sorts of crazy stuff. So yes, NY should have a slow-poke law. I drive I-95 often and CT should also have a slow-poke law. The left lane should only be for passing slower traffic, not passing the time of day. In places where there are only two lanes, plan ahead when coming to an on-ramp, move over to the left to allow traffic to enter, then move back when it's safe. Never drive below the speed limit in the left lane.

Yes, Sean, I totally agree. The oblivious slow driver in the left lane is an obnoxious danger to all…Read More other drivers. Another one: the obvious drunk driver who insists on staying in the left lane. Why? Isn't he/she just drawing more attention and possible arrest? But these are anecdotes. The bottom line is: we don't care very much about each other any more. Why do narcissists park in No Parking/No Standing zones, creating a traffic problem, when plenty of spots are readily available? There's a much bigger social/cultural issue here; we're all just complaining about the symptoms.

How about the ugly bug-eyed puke Spike Lee who said he wished he had a gun so he could kill whites. Anything happen to his going nowhere career? Nothing. How about Jamie Foxx who makes most of his money from stupid white audiences, and his racist rant about that jerk off movie Django. But most importantly, how about the Halloween mask, Al Sharpton. He destroys a man's career over the liar Tawana Brawley and goes on to demand incarceration for the Duke Lacrosse players who had nothing to do with the black whore who falsely accused them. It turns out he's also been an FBI snitch. The FBI doesn't turn anybody unless they've got a lot of dirt on them and Sharpton was as dirty as they come. Anything happen to him. Yep.

No worries about what the reality is...like deficits, debt, and breaking the backs of the hardworking middle class.

|tesla coil
An electrical device that generates extremely high voltages, usually for the purpose of creating dramatic electric arcs and lightning effects or for producing x-rays. Tesla coils use step-up transformers to boost the voltage of a power supply and build up large charges in a capacitor. A spark gap periodically shorts out the capacitor, releasing its charge in huge current flows, that generate extremely high voltages (up to ten million volts) through an open-air transformer.

BERKELEY LAKE -- The city of Berkeley Lake has outlawed the feeding of wildlife.
In an ordinance approved by the city council Thursday night, it's now illegal to wilfully feed wild animals in Berkeley Lake, except for fish and songbirds.
Proponents say the new law will break the animals' dependence on artificial food sources and curb potentially dangerous encounters between animals and residents.
Opponents said the law is too restrictive.
Mayor Lois Salter said that last weekend, a hawk flew at a girl who had reached for her cellphone after apparently mistaking the phone for food. She said she doesn't want anything to happen where someone is hurt.
