Poured from the bottle into a wheat ale glass.
Classic large soapy and very big white rocking Hefe making head out of the bottle. Huge soapy retention that just doesn't go anywhere. A bit of a dark amber orange and slightly dull yellow body, considerably darker than most but not very clear, but with matching rising plentiful carbonation. Pretty solid.
Nose is real nice to match. Some mild clove spice, chewy wheat malt, and there's an interesting estery note to this that is more like cherry or red fruit, than the classic bubblegum and banana. Really nice I dig this not sure where this is going.
Palate seems to match the cherry fruit quality from the nose. Malt density is lacking with a bit of a watery finish, but some of the cherry fruit manages to perkelate in the mid palate. Finish is also a bit metallic and has a bit of a tin aftertaste. Warmth gives a bit more clove and classic hefe character, with some subdued bitterness.
It's not bad, but the metallic and tin notes on it are a bit too noticeable and particularly take away my enjoyment of what starts out to be a pretty decent brew.

12 oz bottle into weizen glass. best before 09 2013.
A: pretty hazy for a Kristalweizen. probably because it is a hefeweizen as indicated on the bottle label. orange. frothy white bubbled head. good retention, minimal lacing.
S: the nose starts off with a lot of wheat. a decent amount of banana and clove. the yeast is really making its presence known.
T: the wheat is strong here. really filling, good flavor. fresh. makes for one hell of a chewy body. spicy as well, not black pepper, but more of yeast esters. bitterness is minor and mostly derived from the yeast I suppose. fruity. pears.
M: a zesty carb on a medium body.
D: really tasty summer brew from blue mountain. a well-made hefe is always easy to enjoy and that's exactly what I have got here. well done.

First had: on tap at Blue Mountain, Afton, VA
Straw-yellow pour, kristal clear, lively carbonation, topped with a fizzy white head. In the nose, toasted wheat, light banana esters, light spice, herbal hops. Mild taste, pale malts, toasted grains, light banana/clove, herbal hop notes. Pretty standard for the style. Light body, simple and drinkable, just not something I'd get a full pour of.

12 oz bottle poured into glass
A: Poured pretty clear to start with good looking carbonation. Once I swirled the remaining brew and poured the rest it got nice and cloudy. Color was on the golden side with about 1/2 a fingers worth of head that settled to a thin layer with very little lacing.
S: I'm getting the average stuff.... Citrus, banana esters, and a touch of clove.
T: I'm getting a mix of wheat and citrus right up front with touches of banana and clove at the finish. Very clean
M: Light bodied, nicely carbonated, dryer than I thought it might be. Overall very clean.
D: Pretty average for the style. Worth looking for in the VA.

Pours a hazy golden color with a delicately bubbly white head. Head retention is about average, minimal retention. The aroma is fairly mild...yeasty and some wheat bitterness.
Taste is pretty good!!!! The yeast and wheat bitterness are up front. Cloves and lemon take a back seat.
This beer is crisp, refreshing and light. Perfect for a warm day.
Overall a good take on this style. Nice.

I heard County Council At-Large candidate Rud Browne at the Oct. 4 League of Women Voters/Bellingham Herald debate, and was impressed with his thoughtful, balanced, well-informed responses. For example, on land use decisions he stressed the importance of considering both short- and long-term community impacts, and said that decisions should neither benefit the individual at the expense of the community, nor the community at the expense of the individual. On the GPT expansion, he said that council members must consider seven factual questions; but that he would also work for a process that avoids a subsequent court challenge, ensuring that the final permit decision is a local one.
On job creation, he stressed the need for job training to build technical skills. He showed how he walked the talk on training, when his company, Ryzek, helped Bellingham Technical College design classes that teach students the specific skills they would need to work in his or other companies.
I like that Rud and his wife chose live in Bellingham not because they were born here, but because they love it. I'm impressed that he started and ran a successful international business employing 100 people in Bellingham, was a great boss and strong community volunteer. I'm convinced that he'll be a thoughtful, informed council member who listens to others.

Tryon Life Community Farm is a center for the teaching and researching of urban ecology and sustainability. The small community that lives on the seven acre tract leads efforts in the Portland area to protect more open space on the urban fringe, educate youth about the natural word, restore native ecosystems, and find new and better ways to live ecologically, providing grass-roots example of community action to move toward sustainability.
TLC Farm facilitates a diversity of movements, communities and individuals in the Portland region to: educate ourselves and each other regarding skills, values, and paradigms for holistic human integration into our ecosystems; experience a sustainable urban ecology as possible, practical, and desirable; and emerge as empowered co-creators of a well-functioning network of cultures, economies, and polities of deep change.
The site is nestled into Tryon Creek State Park, a 650-acre ecosystem of towering firs, cedars and diverse Northwest forest. Just a few hundred feet from the steelhead-bearing creek lie these seven acres of rolling meadow, gardens, homes, naturally-built structures, and wooded cliffs: a unique sustainability educational facility and community gathering place. Drawing upon unique resources and a strong foundation of broad community networks, TLC Farm offers Portland the opportunity to take sustainability from a nice idea to a lived experience.
Tryon Life was identified as a beneficiary of the September 25, 2009 Portland Black Tie Dye Ball.

Cyclists could be allowed to pass through red lights in bid to cut road deaths

The Mayor today launched the campaign alongside Transport for London and said he will reduce the number of serious cycling accidents over the next year, particularly those involving collisions with heavy goods vehicles.
One of the measures being considered is allowing cyclists to turn left at red lights. At the moment it is an offence punishable by a £30 fine. The scheme is designed to allow cyclists to negotiate turns ahead of vehicles, particularly lorries, which are responsible for more than half of London's cyclist deaths each year.
Last September, fitness instructor Chrystelle Brown, 26, was crushed when she was hit by a heavy goods vehicle in Whitechapel as she rode to work.
TV producer Eilidh Cairns, 30, died at a pedestrian crossing in Notting Hill last February when she was hit by a lorry. And last May, Adrianna Skrzypiec, 31, died after she was hit by a lorry in Greenwich as she was cycling home from work.
TfL today released a hard-hitting advert on television and in cinemas across the capital, encouraging drivers to look out for cyclists on the roads. In the advert, a group of thieves are shown robbing a bank, but they fail to notice an innocent cyclist as they escape in a car.
The Mayor also announced that he will fund training for cyclists before the launch of his bike-hire scheme this summer, which he hopes will generate about 40,000 extra bicycle journeys a day in London.
In the Cycle Safety Action Plan, Mr Johnson said he will work with the HGV industry to avoid deliveries on roads at peak times, particularly in areas used by large numbers of cyclists. Mr Johnson said: "The arrival of spring in London is now accompanied by a glorious cornucopia of cyclists.
"I want each and every one of those people to be as safe as possible, and for thousands more to join them, which is why we are working in every conceivable way to give Londoners the road awareness, infrastructure, and statutory support to stay safe.
"This is London's year of cycling and we are working tirelessly with the police, cycling industry, safety groups, freight operators and more to ensure it can be enjoyed by everyone."

Bob Dylan made the rare mistake of talking about his creative process shortly before the release of Tempest. He told Rolling Stone that he'd originally wanted to write a collection of what he called "religious songs," saying, "That takes a lot more concentration to pull that off — 10 times with the same thread than it does with a record like I ended up with." Which means that either his powers of concentration failed him, or he became distracted by other themes, topics and moods.

Twenty years have passed since Polish composer Henryk Górecki became one of the most talked about figures in classical music. In 1992, his painfully beautiful Third Symphony, the "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs," shot up the charts and was played on the radio everywhere. A recording conducted by David Zinman and featuring soprano Dawn Upshaw sold more than a million copies — huge for a classical album.
Just a year after releasing the full-length album Raven in the Grave, Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo — the Danish musicians behind The Raveonettes — are back with yet another shimmering noise-pop record. Observator is out today, and includes the gorgeous cut "The Enemy."

'We are not encouraged to find much sympathy with the characters in A Clockwork Orange5 star(s)
Each part begins with the same question to the reader: "What's it going to be then, eh?" which at the start appears innocuous as they decide on their night's dwellings. But this is repeated in the beginning of the second part as Alex is imprisoned; the same question now has an alternative meaning, his future looks bleak and he is sentenced to a stint in prison because of the murder he commits. Instead of an innocuous question, it now is a meaningful question in the readers head evoking empathy by the uncertainty of his punishment and the impending circumstances of the 'staja'.

A Clockwork Orange. The extract we are presented with shows us the scene in part one of A Clockwork Orange when Alex and his droogs rape an innocent young woman, referred to in the extract as a devotchka.
The overall effect of this is that the boys forcing the man to watch the rape of his wife predicts, in a way, what will happen to Alex in Part Two. In both cases, the men are having their free will stripped off them to a certain degree and must encounter something very displeasing and uncomfortable to his nature. The dystopian form also includes the way in which Alex and his droogs act. They keep the citizens isolated at night by keeping them inside their homes.

Anthony Burgess's novella "A Clockwork Orange", written in 1962, explores the destruction of the lives of the protagonist's private worlds and presents a potential nightmarish society. The reader sees the mindless violence preformed by Alex and the Droogs
This is a dilemma that is never solved in Alex's private world. Burgess created a character that has to go to the furthest extent to feel free; it seems that he was made evil by the government, perhaps presenting an artist, as he approaches the ultra violence as though it was a piece of art to be admired, the "malenky crèches" from the wife with the beating of "Dim's fisty work" seem like music to Alex, Emphasised by the "dancing around" Dim did at the same time.

How do the writers of Riddley Walker and A Clockwork Orange present the future in their novels?
If that is the case then we can see The Eusa Story as partly an allegory of the cold war, part speculative vision of its outcome. Looking back, the notion of a nuclear war actually occurring may seem a somewhat farfetched concept, however to people at the early 80s there was a real fear of nuclear annihilation. As a result of the nuclear war the so-called "Bad Tyms" occurs. A time where civilisation collapsed, nothing would grow and humanity was practically wiped out.

Clockwork Orange Movie Evaluation
The conditioned versus an unconditioned response technique is a major factor in Alex's transformation toward becoming an acceptable human being in society. During the first half of the movie before Alex undergoes treatment, he is shown with his fellow "droogs" or his small four member gang that creates havoc throughout England with their acts of "ultra-violence" where they commit heinous acts of violence and on random victims. Alex and his droogs are shown in the first scene of the movie at their favorite local hang out joint called the Korova Milkbar where they indulge themselves in drugged milk beverages.

How does Burgess portray power in scene 3
Alex gives music Godlike reverence and will use violence to ensure his appreciation of it. Alex and his Drogues posses the power of destruction in is this chapter. They start off in a stolen car, then push it into the river. Afterwards they tear apart the upholstery in the train, they destroy these things without fear of retribution. Burgess shows how the gang have the power to do anything that they wish, this is reflective on the modern youth , they rove around in gangs committing acts of vandalism, theft and assault. Burgess is showing how the youth of today have the power to do anything and get away with it because there is not enough police, as well as that the streets are unsafe for the general populace to go out at night.

A Clockwork Orange
Ironically, this writer was also a victim of Alex's but does not recognize him. This writer believes that this method robs the recipient of freedom of choice and moral decision, therefore depriving him of being a human at all. These themes are played out and developed throughout the entire novel. Alex eventually tries to commit suicide and the State is forced to admit that the therapy was a mistake and they cure him again. The last chapter of the novel which was omitted from the American version and from Stanley Kubrick's film shows Alex's realization that he is growing up and out of his ultra-violent ways on his own.

Text Transformation:'A Clockwork Orange' into 'The Jerry Springer Show'
So why did I choose to do this? 'The Jerry Springer Show' is a dysfunctional show and Alex is a dysfunctional character. Jerry Springer's show is amoral TV; it is outrageous, shocking, scandalous and hilarious. The show has no limits. Nearly all stories have major big twists that unfold as more guests get called out. These guests often get violent and try to kick and punch other parties involved, whilst typically Jerry tries to redeem his guests. This is why I think it works well with the character of Alex and his behaviour seen in the novel.

Film review - A Clockwork Orange
So what was all the fuss about? Hungrily I procured a copy on video with some difficulty, being aged only 12. In the first of what was to become many, many viewings, I sat alone, fully prepared to have my brain physically crushed by a dark, malevolent force from which no one could escape. Frankly I was hugely disappointed. By today's standards, not only had the film's so-called "ultra" violence been over-hyped for me, but the death toll straggled at a tame and rather embarrassing one.

Alex is set up by his Droogs later on and sent to jail and convicted of murder. At the State Penitentiary he spent two years of a sentence of fourteen there. Alex volunteered to undergo an experiment, "Ludvico's Technique", which was conducted by Dr. Brodsky. It was supposed to cure him of all of his violent nature. Alex is given injections and made to watch films of rape and violence and other various disgusting violent activities. The drug makes him associate feelings of sickness and nausea with violence.

Questions on 'A Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess.
It is not a shock to the reader when Alex steals a car. He says, "We backed out lovely, and nobody viddied us take off". He has no fear and was not afraid. Whilst driving the stolen car Alex and his droogs show disrespect for all in their path. They reach a place with a sign called "HOME", this is when Alex and his droogs stop and get out of the car. Next Alex describes how he politely knocks on the door of this house and politely asks to call an ambulance to help an injured friend.

Compare and contrast "Blue Remembered Hills" by Dennis Potter, "A clockwork orange" and "Warrior square."
It was set in 1943, in the forest of Dean. It takes place on one day in the summer holidays for 7 school children. The play is a black comedy as whilst the children play there are aspects of tragedy, i.e. domestic violence, bullying, and death. In some ways it is linked to the other plays I have mentioned in theme. All three of the plays contain violence, and death, so there is an aspect of tragedy in the two comparative plays also.

This injustice shows just how corrupt the Doctors are and how they misuse their power, it goes to show just how illiberal people can be. As Dr Branom's character develops though the chapter, I find that he less sinister than Dr Brodsky does, this may be due to him coming across to me as rather naïve and powerless under Dr Brodsky's power. To a certain extent we can say that Dr Branom relates to Alex. Alex believes that Dr Branom 'was forced' into taking part in the treatment, in the same way Alex was.

glow from the "red light from the landing", which almost sounds like a filming technique, even though it is used to good effect here. As usual, there is an element of comedy in the chapter. Whereas the comedy of the previous chapters has normally been slapstick in nature (such as the unforgettable image of Alex being beaten by a swashbuckling old woman, surrounded by meowing "koshkas"), the characters in this chapter are more developed and have distinct personalities of their own.

Discuss Burgess's language in the opening chapter: how does he depict the world of Alex and his friends as being in conflict with the "outside"? (10 marks)
There is no brevity in Alex's description, and he goes into detail when describing the clothes and make-up. It is likely here that Alex has a certain respect for these gang members, indicated by his lengthy description of their bright uniforms, and by the fact that he speculates on the large cost of these uniforms. But there is also a clear element of mockery. This is especially apparent in the sentence "These were supposed to be...", with an emphasis on the word "suppose". He is putting the credulity of the gang into doubt, debunking their claims. This is quite childish in some respects, and reminds the reader of his tender age.

Political Undertones of A Clockwork Orange
This shows that the police have had to get rougher to combat rough criminals. This is comparable to the real world as it is seen that police gradually need to get tougher on crime because crime gets tougher itself. An example of this is the fact that police in America have had to resort to guns and S.W.A.T. teams to fight crime while in Britain police still are armed with billy clubs. The message is lost in the movie as it seems more like dumb luck that Alex gets caught by two officers who happen to be old allies of his, now enemies who just want revenge.

Using the extracts from Dead Man in Deptford and Any Old Iron, and the whole of A Clockwork Orange, discuss the effectiveness of Burgess' wide and varied use of language and dialect.
As soon as I started to read A Clockwork Orange, I wanted to put it down again. In the second paragraph, I counted eighteen words that I did not understand, including such timeless gems as "droog", "rassoodocks" and, my personal favourite, "mozg". I was equally baffled when confronted with the two extracts. But I slavishly stuck to it (partly because of my rather demanding English master), mostly because I was personally intrigued as to what those terms meant. One soon realises that Burgess actually likes to do this - it is his wordplay. But equally, it is also an integral part of the book; he adapts his style of language for a number of reasons...

What is your response to Alex as he appears in the first four chapters of the Novel?
A prime example of how looks down on his crimes, is after he has beaten up the teacher and stripped him, he thinks "We hadn't done that much" and refuses to make any " appy polly loggies". This casual view on his crimes is witnessed again when he is robbing the shop and he is standing over the now naked Mother Slouse and he thinks "I wondered should I or should I not, but that was for latter in the evening".

Alex from a small young criminal, in part one: " Dim yanked out his false zoobies, upper and lower. He threw these to the ground and then I treated them to the old boot crush", in part two after being put in jail realises that "I am not your little droogie Alex no longer", and he gets put under the Lodovico technique to be reformed, this technique involving exposing Alex to violence for nearly the whole day, to make him physically sick of it.

" To what extent does Alex have his own freedom of thought"
In my opinion the style and structure of this novel is extremely important to the understanding of the text. Alex goes through three main changes as a character, and this is reflected in the way Burgess has structured the novel. The novel is split into three sections, each describing a significant chapter in Alex's life. An example of this is the idea of the book revolving "full circle". In 20 chapters Alex has completely changed, but at the start of chapter 21 the novel begins the exact same as it did at chapter one. Alex revisits the place called HOME and him and his new "droogs" commit another unprovoked attack, however this time something has changed.

Once completed, Tallman Pines in Deerfield Beach, Fla., will be the Sunshine State's first LEED-Silver affordable housing development.
Credit: Becker Public Relations
"Tallman Pines is a uniquely successful development that has increased local property values, is providing needed affordable housing to the residents of Broward County, and has pioneered as one of Florida's first LEED-certified, green properties," said Matt Greer, CEO of Coral Gables, Fla.-based Carlisle Development Group, in a press statement.
The development's green features include the use of low-VOC paints, adhesives, and carpets; water-conserving plumbing fixtures; the use of recycled materials; landscaping utilizing native plants; and a photovoltaic system generating power for the community's clubhouse.
All 200 apartments at Tallman Pines are designated for low- and very-low income residents, and at least 10% of the 42 single-family homes will be sold to individuals at 80% Area Median Income. Financing for the development came from a variety of sources, including the Florida Housing Finance Corp., which provided $28 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. —
Customers were credited with 1,000 gallons of water, which was likely more than enough to flush out a system. The average residential customer uses about 3,300 gallons per month.
Some people said they weren't worried about the odor.
"It's not going to bother me as long as we know it's clean," said Peter Triplett, a state library commission worker whose home was near the first area allowed to use water. "It's been rough going."
The first area cleared was downtown Charleston, the state capital and its largest city. Hospitals were open and flushing out systems, but schools were to stay closed today.

Honda Ridgeline Lease Questions
Hi utvolman. You really would be better served by having the dealer you are working with cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a capitalized cost reduction for your lease. I always advise community members against making cap cost reductions when leasing because if their leased vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered, their cap cost reduction essentially disappears. You can always use the money that the dealer gives you for your trade to supplement or make a few of your monthly payments for you if you want.
Let's estimate what your lease payment should be for the truck that you are interested in. According to my calculations, if you were to lease an '06 Honda Ridgeline RT-L with a sunroof with an MSRP of $36,000 and a selling price of $32,500 through Honda Finance right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around a whopping $676. The payment for an otherwise identical 36 month lease would drop to a more reasonable, yet still high $530. If you were to make a $3,600 cap cost reduction, these payments would drop to $513 and $421.
Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
I am looking into leasing a Ridgeline, but am leery at the same time due to some horror stories I've heard of when a customer returns a leased vehicle....I take relatively good care of my vehicle, but how often do people get burned? Looking for your feedback Car Man. Also, one current lease offer is 298 per month for 48 months with 999 due at signing. The only problem is that I want to lease for 36 months. Can you tell me what I would likely be looking at for a payment for that time span, Car Man? Thank you.
maddogger Posts: 1Any idea when the 2007s come out?
Any changes?
Anyone know historically how Honda incentives run? Ex: Better lease rates early in the model year and then more cash back incentives later in the year?
I know the domestics always have incentives, is this true for Honda as well or are there times there are none?
I wouldn't worry about leasing a vehicle through Honda Finance if I was in your situation, jakej. I have spoken with literally hundreds of community members who have lease through them without incident and have personally leased three vehicles through them myself. The lease-end process has gone very smoothly every single time. I would be happy to give you an idea of what it should cost to lease the truck that you are interested in for 36 months, however in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with its full MSRP and approximate selling price. Let me know and I'll run some calculations.
Prices Paid Forums
Hi maddogger. Actually Honda Finance just published a lease program for the 2007 Ridgeline the other day. This usually means that if dealers don't have this model yet, they will in the near future. I am not aware of any major changes that Honda is making to this truck, but you should be able to find out more information on it by visiting the following discussion: "Honda Ridgeline SUT".
As far as this model's incentives go, Honda is currently providing $2,000 dealer cash on the 2006 Ridgeline, but it doesn't have any support on the 2007 model yet. I suspect that Honda will introduce a special lease program on the '07 model within the next couple of months and dealer cash on it later on in the model year.
Prices Paid Forums
Dealer cash or subsidized rate?
It seems to me that the subsidized rate is better in many cases... agree?
Can you run a scenario using the money factor from April with $0 support (say for... an RT-L w/out sunroof for 36 months/15K per... $500 over invoice) vs. the May $2,000 dealer cash (same car, same terms, now $1500 under invoice).
It seems like the payment will be less with the lower MF.
Thanks, Car Man. They were advertising a Ridgeline at $22,777 before TTL. I live in New York State (8%). If you can run those numbers on a 36 month lease with $999 due at signing that would be great.

$1200.00 below invoice or $26,421
36 months and 15K per year
Monthly lease of 450.38 with a drive off of 668.38
Does that sound like a good deal? I have never leased before so I need some help
asalieri Posts: 3well i WAS in the market, but have cooled on it for a bit..
Here in NYC area this is what i came up with:
RTL SRoof 12K 36 mos. PLUS tournea cover, running boards and roof rack. (these options were approx $2600 dollars, negotiated price and about 800 of that was residualized. this is approx.)
The upfront costs consisted of the usuals
Dealer 1: 2700 in upfront costs, 475 /mos including tax
Dealer 2: 3000 upfront 499/mos incl tax
(interestingly this dealer was the lowest originally and the place i showed up expecting to sign and take delivery,but"there had been a mistake" blah blah.
this was their new and improved offer. Potamkin,by the way.
The originaloffer ,from them via carsdirect.com was, $418.00 mos including tax./ up fronts were, 585.00 at signing.
Of course I went for it!
I then talked about the above mentioned dealer add-ons (apprx 2600.00, and a fair amount residualized) and that kicked the price up to 480., and about 650 at sign. Then i show up to signand "Oh! we didnt realize that HONDA Finance squashes the 2000 cash back and also,your credit isnt top tier(and im sittng with an AmEx report in my bag that shows im 780 across the three agencies..I didnt argue,just up and split, not wanting to even vaguely reward that behavior. They emailed me, via my carsdirect contact the new and ACCURATE numbers.
dealer 3: 1498 upfront 452, plus tax(approx498)
so in my area , a nicely turned out Ridgeline needs 1500 upfront and 500 a month.
Im on hold a while, hoping some spec finance comes around
what do you fellows think of these numbers?
Hi granite_stater. It's tough to generalize about which is better, a special money factor or dealer cash because this will depend upon how low a money factor and how much dealer cash we are talking about. Having said this, I will do so anyhow. Special money factors usually result in more attractive lease payments than dealer cash and no special factor does. One of the reasons for this is that manufacturers often replace their special money factors with dealer cash at the end of the model year. By that point, vehicles' residual values are much lower than they were at the beginning of the model year. The lower a car or truck's residual values are, the higher its monthly payment will be. If I was in the marker for a Ridgeline, I personally would probably wait to lease one until Honda introduced special money factors on the 2007 model in a month or two.

You're very welcome, jakej. I actually asked for this truck's selling price and its full MSRP. I can't estimate what its lease payment should be without both of these numbers. Let me know and I'll estimate a payment for you. If you wait a day or two, I should be able to give you an idea of what Honda's new July lease program is like.

Hi ctrader123. $1,200 under dealer invoice is a pretty good price on this truck. Keep in mind though that Honda is currently providing $2,000 dealer cash on the 2006 Ridgeline, so this is really more like $800 over invoice. I just worked up a lease payment on the truck that you are interested in using the prices that you mentioned in your post and Honda Finance's current lease program and I came up with a 36 month, 15,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of $406 assuming that you pay a security deposit and qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier. The payment that you were quoted looks slightly high, especially if it does not include tax.
Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Hi hartt. Honda's June lease program is only scheduled to run through the end of today. I'll give you an idea of what its current program is like and you can check back with me in a couple of days for info on its new July program. If you were to lease a 2006 Honda Ridgeline RT-L with a moonroof through Honda Finance right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00270 and 51%. When negotiating your lease on this truck remember that Honda is providing $2,000 dealer cash on it.
Prices Paid Forums
Hi asalieri. It sure sounds like you've been working with some shady dealers. The $2,000 dealer cash is absolutely compatible with leases of the 2006 Ridgeline through Honda Finance. Furthermore, a credit score of 780 is way higher than Honda Finance's 710 cutoff for its "Super Preferred" credit tier. At least you are in the New York City area. I am sure that there are tons of Honda dealers within driving distance of you. Ditch these dealers and find a new one.

Hi Ken. Honda dealers themselves may not even know what Honda's new July lease program is going to be like. Most manufacturers do not leak advance notice of what lease programs will be like because if their next program is going to be better everyone would just wait to get their vehicle. I suspect that Honda will introduce a special lease program on the 2007 Ridgeline in the near future. Whether that is July or August is difficult to say at this point. I should have an idea of what Honda's new July lease program is like within the next day or two. Please feel free to check back with me and I will be happy to fill you in on the details of the new program.

Thanks for the comments. Sooo far, their website does not show any 2007 programs - not sure if they will run mid-month or wait another month, 2 or 3....I need to do something soon, so may have to purchase or bite the bullet on the non-susidized lease payment which really hurts.
Any ideas would be appreciated...
Thanks, Ken
It looks like this is the month. I will be returning my Pilot the first week in August and would like to have another vehicle before then. There are several vehicles I am interested in so I will be posting questions on the boards of the vehicles I am looking at.
I would like to know the MF and residual on a lease for an '06 and '07 Ridgeline RTL w/sunroof for 3 years with 15,000 miles a year.
Thanks for your help Car_man.

During the past couple of months, Monrovians have been having a lively discussion about fundraising.
It all began with a marquee at Clifton Middle School asking Monrovians . The next screen specified to save your receipts from certain dates. People were most likely shopping at the mall for Christmas, so what damage could this really do?
Well, lots, it seemed when our newest elect Board Member saw this advertising out of context. Mr. Hammond did what he is required to do when he has a question -- call the superintendent. Being the holidays, a decision was made, after another two calls were received, to pull off the Shop Westfield Mall advertisement.
It took over a month to make a decision to put the sign up, though now the highlight is to save your receipts. These actions caused lots of dialogue, , some at the PTA Council meeting, some at the Board's meeting. It unfortunately also caused some funds to be lost from the people that did shop at the Westfield Mall but did not know it would make a difference to our school fundraiser.
We now know that everyone had all of Monrovia's best interests at heart. Our PTA is concerned about raising funds, our Board of Education is concerned about making sure we shop Monrovia, but all of us know that Monrovia is part of the San Gabriel Valley and no one is asking to avoid shopping Monrovia. All that is being asked is that if you are already going to shop at the mall, why not turn in your receipts to help our schools?
To button this up really nicely, Mr. Rob Hammond has graciously agreed to donate an acoustic guitar for the upcoming "Surf's Up at the Mayflower Auction." Thank you Mr. Hammond! We look forward to seeing you at the auction!
If you, your family or friends (adults) would like to attend the the Mayflower fundraiser:
March 24th, 6-10pm
Cost: $40 per person, $75 per couple, plus money for the auction!!
Dinner is included, no-host bar
Dalcorp Car Museum
852 S. Alta Vista Ave,
Monrovia, CA
For ANY receipts you might have from the Westfield Mall, please turn them in to either Clifton (who REALLY needs funds) or Mayflower (who is always happy to get funds). Deadline is April 30th, 2012.
We have our Munch Accross Monrovia throughout local restaurants, please check the Patch, or with friends and family that have children at our MUSD schools for ongoing events. It is great to support our local restaurants while also helping our schools during these financial challenging times.

Death at Page Restaurant brings prison sentence
O'Neill is expected to receive a 10 ½ to 22 year prison term when he appears for sentencing on Jan. 23.
O'Neill could have faced up to 18 ½ to 33 years in state prison had he been convicted by a jury of the manslaughter charge. The first-degree assault charge also carried an enhanced prison term of 11 to 22 years, according to indictments.
Krantz was attacked from behind on a basement-level dance floor around 12:43 a.m., police said. O'Neill went after Krantz for accidentally spilling a drink on him earlier in the night, according to prosecutors. He was free on bail in another case at the time of the attack, prosecutors said.
An employee at The Page told police that O'Neill said he waited until nearly the end of closing time to hit Krantz because he didn't want to ruin his own night. Krantz reportedly spilled a drink on O'Neill earlier in the night, police said.
The Page closed its doors permanently on June 21 once the city filed a petition with the state Liquor Commission to terminate the bar's liquor license.

Gayle Haggard, the loyal wife of fallen evangelical mega-pastor Ted Haggard, was all over the mainstream media world (Oprah, "Today," etc.) last week promoting her new book: "Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour."
With this book blitz, reporting on the Ted Haggard story has now officially moved from Chapter 1 in the Media Playbook (Hard news: Scandal) to Chapter 3 (Features: "Lifie") without going through Chapter 2 (Analysis: What the heck is really going on here?). Readers would have benefited from deeper questioning.
Ted Haggard finally admitted his sins in November 2006 and was subsequently fired from the Colorado Springs megachurch he founded. He resurfaced in January 2009 when HBO broadcast Alexandra Pelosi's gripping documentary, "The Trials of Ted Haggard" and he and Gayle appeared on Oprah's show.
Late last year he started a new church down the road from his old congregation. At that point, some reporters (including local religion reported Mark Barna at The Gazette) did good analysis pieces that raised questions about Haggard's suitability to lead.
All those questions have been forgotten in the wake of Gayle's successful p.r. campaign (which was orchestrated by Tyndale, the Wheaton, Illinois-based evangelical publisher that learned a few things about big-league promotion with the Left Behind novels). Marcia Z. Nelson of Publishers Weekly's Religion BookLine reports that Tyndale has already gone back to press after selling out a first printing of 75,000 copies.
The Haggard story has now evolved into the type of media events Neal Gabler called "lifies," which are celebrity-driven, media-friendly stories about failure and redemption that serve up big, gooey life lessons for viewers.
Gayle Haggard presents readers and viewers with a powerful message of marital love, personal loyalty and Christian forgiveness, and I was particularly impressed by her interview with Meredith Vieira on "Today" and the piece by Adelle banks of Religion News Service.
But as the Haggards seek to find a new life and calling for themselves, important questions remain:
- Can we believe Ted when he says, as he did on Oprah last week, that after therapy, he has not had "one compulsive thought or behavior"?
- Even if that is true, is Ted now in a position to once again assume the mantle of pastoral leadership?
- Gayle Haggard has certainly suffered enough already, and her husband's sins do not necessarily bar her from leadership. But is the "evangelical industrial complex" helping to return the couple to a form of shared leadership by publishing and promoting Gayle's book?
Gabler's "Life: The Movie" argues that entertainment has conquered reality. The Haggard saga, at least as it is currently being covered, is the latest in a long list of stories about tarnished evangelical, charismatic and Pentecostal leaders that demonstrates the truth of Gabler's argument in religious circles.
Despite their frequent and often angry protests against pop culture, many Christians reveal that they are all too willing to submit to the marketplace–not any ecclesiastical authority–as the ultimate arbiter of who qualifies as a leader.
This isn't the last we will hear from the Haggards. Perhaps next time around enterprising reporters will ask some of the tough questions about leadership and authority that have been lost in in the "lifies."

Returns to Education and Education-Occupation Mismatch within a Transition Economy. Empirical Analysis for the Russian Federation
AbstractThis paper makes a thorough analysis of the returns to tertiary education and education-occupation matches within a transition economy and compares these returns to similar returns in a developed economy. This study shows through the example of the Russian Federation that the increase in the returns to education which happened in previous years does not indicate that the labor market is becoming closer to that of developed countries. The standard estimation of the returns to education is deconstructed in three parts characterizing the labor market : education-occupation match, payment for occupations and payment for productivity within occupations. First, I compare the non-parametric estimation of wage distributions by educational and occupational groups within the Russian labor market and a developed country's labor market (I take France as an example). Second, I estimate a joint reduced-form model of the educational choice, labor market participation, placement of employees among occupational categories and wage formation. This joint model allows us to take into account correlations between unobservable factors that simultaneously influence the educational choice, occupational choice and final wage. A wide range of explanatory variables is used, characterizing not only individuals, but also their households, job, industries of work and regions. This allows us to analyze the influence of the family's network on the placements among occupational categories and wage formation. I take into account the observed heterogeneity of returns to education among the analyzed population. The results show the advantages of the proposed approach for the analysis of transition labor markets when compared with the standard approaches to transition economies.

The following note was posted on the Lower Moreland Township web site:
In conjunction with a water main replacement project on County Line Road, a construction project to develop a much-needed community multisport field is also underway adjacent to Lower Moreland High School. Due to the water main replacement project being scheduled overnight to avoid closing County Line Road during heavy traffic hours, the field construction project is also an overnight work zone as it relies on receiving dirt from the water main replacement project. The majority of overnight construction noise will be during a seven-week period and while the inconvenience to residents is recognized, the work is temporary and will provide a long term benefit for the community. Every effort will be made to manage noise and reduce the temporary impact on neighboring properties without negatively impacting work zone safety.

Arizona Diamondbacks 'definitely ready to play games'
Originally published: Feb 25, 2014 - 2:22 pm
"We're definitely ready to play games," manager Kirk Gibson said. "The intensity and the way they've approached every day at practice has been good even though they're ready long ago."
The Diamondbacks open the Cactus League season on Wednesday with a game against the Dodgers at Salt River Fields. Brandon McCarthy will throw the first pitch at 1:10, and according to Gibson, will be on the mound four innings or 60 pitches.
"You want to extend them in preparation for what we're going to do in Australia," he said.
Here's the lineup Gibson is running out against Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw:
Aaron Hill 2B
Paul Goldschmidt 1B
Martin Prado 3B
Mark Trumbo LF
Miguel Montero C
Matt Tuiasosopo DH
Cliff Pennington SS
Gerardo Parra RF
"We have a strong lineup," Gibson said. "We have some strong guys on the bench this year. We're going to have to keep everybody involved. I say it every year. This is legitimate guys that are going to end up on our bench. We're going to have some players that are going to have to take some time off."
The Diamondbacks will play 24 games over 19 days before leaving for Australia where they will open the regular season with two games against the Dodgers on March 22-23.
The trick, Gibson said, is giving everyone�pitchers and position players alike -- all an opportunity to play.
"We've talked a lot about this spring training, how we've kind of really focused on making sure they've had time to recover and keep them healthy," he said. "Everybody has loved it. Have you heard anybody complain about it, about the pace? It's been outstanding. My question would be why wouldn't we do that in the season as well? Why wouldn't it work there? Ultimately, we're trying to win games. We're trying to win as many games as we can. We're trying to keep guys healthy, fresh, enthusiastic; able to make the plays.
"My curiosity is what's the proper balance, how do I keep guys going. Ultimately in the end we're trying to win as many games as we can. We've got a lot of good players that I've got to integrate in. We'll buy into that. I think it'll help us out."

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - June is a big month to tie the knot. On average, couples spend about 25-thousand dollars on their wedding. And a big part of that expense is the flowers.
Today, Bachman's Sarah Pitt's showed current floral trends and how to make your dollars go further.
1. Vintage (utilizing heirlooms from mothers and grandmothers, soft & subtle antiqued colors like blushes and ivories, lace, old buttons, 1930s - 1950s is the era that is popular.
2. Luxury-With the economic recovery, couples are returning to hosting large, over the top affairs. Large venues require bright colors, crystals, high quality flowers, large displays of flowers to make an impact. One of the best ways to make a statement at the ceremony and especially the reception is with flowers (people will remember the flowers versus not really remember the chair covers).
3. Personal Themes-Something that is particularly meaningful to the couple sets the theme for the entire wedding affair. Could be an overall interest like books, music, etc or a particular movie or song. These meaningful elements take over for tradition - like what song they walk down the aisle to and how they decorate the affair. The wedding is completely personalized.
4. Rustic Chic -This has been a trend for a while but it still really big. Very natural/ organic look. Like someone went out to a garden and picked wildflowers themselves. Trend toward in season and healthy living. Greens like succulents can be incorporated plus burlap and birch.

Rodrigues' rotation formula
- This article is about the Rodrigues' rotation formula, which is distinct from Euler–Rodrigues parameters and The Euler–Rodrigues formula for 3D rotation.
In the theory of three-dimensional rotation, Rodrigues' rotation formula (named after Olinde Rodrigues) is an efficient algorithm for rotating a vector in space, given an axis and angle of rotation. By extension, this can be used to transform all three basis vectors to compute a rotation matrix from an axis–angle representation. In other words, the Rodrigues formula provides an algorithm to compute the exponential map from so(3) to SO(3) without computing the full matrix exponent.
If v is a vector in and k is a unit vector describing an axis of rotation about which we want to rotate v by an angle θ according to the right hand rule, the Rodrigues formula is:
Given a rotation axis represented by a unit vector k and a vector v that we wish to rotate about k by the angle θ,
is the component of v parallel to k, also called the vector projection of v on k, and
is the component of v orthogonal to k, also called the vector rejection of v from k.
- .
The vectors v⊥ and w have the same length, but w is perpendicular to both k and v⊥. This can be shown via
since k has unit length, is parallel to v∥ and is perpendicular to v⊥.
The vector w can be viewed as a copy of v⊥ rotated by 90° about k. Using trigonometry, we can now rotate v⊥ by θ around k to obtain v⊥ rot. Thus,
v⊥ rot is also the rejection from k of the vector vrot, defined as the desired vector, v rotated about k by the angle θ. Since v∥ is not affected by a rotation about k, the projection of vrot on k coincides with v∥. Thus,
as required.
Matrix notation[edit]
By representing v and k as column matrices, and defining a matrix as the "cross-product matrix" for , i.e.,
- ,
Rodrigues' formula can be written in matrix notation:
Using the triple product expansion it can be written as:
since for a normalized vector.
Conversion to rotation matrix[edit]
The equation can also be written as
where I is the 3×3 identity matrix. Thus we have a formula for the rotation matrix R corresponding to an axis angle representation [k θ]:
- .
Noting that, using the outer product , we have
or, equivalently,
- .
For the inverse mapping, see Log map from SO(3) to so(3).

Project Description:
I would like a few changes to this URL: http://tinyurl.com/87qaxeb
1. Change the "New RV's" button to "Used Cars"
2. Change logo to say "Hawkeye RV and Auto Sales"
3. Add a picture of a car (I will give you) to the home page that will be under "Used Cars" Tab.
In Admin area (programming part) change the feature when adding a new product to "Used Cars" instead of "New RV's". Also, link the "Used Cars" on the home page to the Used Cars as right now both links on the home page go to one listing page and they need to be separated based on product type when entering the new product.
$30 max bid.
