The Ottawa Senators knew they were going to be in tough on Thursday night in Boston.
The Bruins picked up the extra point in the overtime session but you have to give the Senators credit. They showed that even without their most talented players, they could hang with one of the elite teams in the Eastern Conference.
Patrice Bergeron was credited with the overtime winner as a shot trickled through the legs and just over the goal line behind Robin Lehner. While Lehner would likely want another try at the shot that ended this one, the Sens don't come away with a point if not for the play of Lehner.
He stopped 40 of 41 shots through regulation and helped them steal a point in a tough building to play in. Lehner was named the game's first star.
All in all, this was an effort the Senators can be proud of.
After a sluggish opening twenty minutes where neither team could get much going, both teams seemed to find their legs to start the second period.
Ottawa had a couple chances early in the middle frame that seemed to coincide with some line juggling by Paul MacLean. The Bruins would strike first though as Nathan Horton fanned on a shot that found a way past Lehner, who had overcommitted to the original shot by Horton. The replay seemed to show that Alfredsson actually knocked the stick of Lehner out of the way. Either way, a weird goal.
The Sens would draw even though as Jim O'Brien buried his 5th of the season in a wild goal-mouth scramble. The play was set up by an amazing stretch pass by Patrick Wiercioch to spring Daugavins on the breakaway.
Through the third period and the overtime session, both Lehner and Rask made a couple of big stops to keep the game deadlocked through 60 minutes.
The Senators are on the ice for practice today at 12:00 PM in Philly continue the road trip on Saturday afternoon against Claude Giroux and the Philadelphia Flyers.
- By the end of the night, Peter Regin had found his way onto the top line with Alfredsson and Silfverberg and looked decent in that role. Turris was playing on a line with Condra and Greening. Should be interesting to see what MacLean does with the lines on Saturday in Philly.
- Scrappy road effort from the Sens but one area where they absolutely have to be better is in the faceoff circle. The Bruins dominated that part of the game all night, winning 65% of the draws. A long bright spot in the circle was Jim O'Brien who went 7 for 8.
- Craig Anderson, who has skated the past few days, is expected to address the media for the first time in Philadelphia this afternoon. Certainly doesn't sound like Anderson will be out for much longer.

Better hold off on those homecoming parties for former Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe. President-elect Barack Obama's team has asked Ashe to postpone leaving his post as Ambassador to Poland until February.
Obama's team had earlier notified politically-appointed ambassadors their services would no longer be required after inauguration day—Jan. 20. But Ashe has been asked to delay his departure until Feb. 6, for a smoother transition.
Gives him more time to pack before moving out of public housing.

LOUISVILLE — It's been more than 45 years since a train crossed the span over the Ohio River headed to Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland or St. Louis.
The big four cities that were the main destination for the trains have not received a rail car via the route for decades, and nothing has crossed the span since the tracks were removed from the end of the bridge in 1969 and sold for scrap.
For several more decades, plans had been floated around to turn the former railroad bridge, originally constructed in 1895, into something useful again.
But after an opening and public dedication Thursday, the public can again access the Big Four Bridge over the Ohio River.
"Welcome to what is probably the most anticipated piece of Waterfront Park," said Waterfront Development Corp. President David Karem. "From the day we started this project, people have been saying, 'When can I get up on the Big Four bridge.'"
From the turnout that gathered at the foot of the ramp on Louisville's side of the bridge, Karem was right. Several hundred people turned out to walk, run and bike across the span Thursday morning. However, they still are unable to cross completely over the bridge into Jeffersonville, as the Indiana city's ramp has not been finished.
"Hopefully in about four months, we'll be able to fully complete this," said Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore while addressing the crowd gathered to cross the bridge. He said the ramp is still on track to open in mid-June.
"This will be huge," Moore said about residents having full access to the bridge and ramps. "The governors of both Indiana and Kentucky saw the economic development that would come from doing this. Everything will grow and expand from this."
Jeffersonville Redevelopment Director Rob Waiz said the contractor for the Indiana's ramp, Gohmann Asphalt, is getting a timelime together to pour the concrete on the Indiana side.

WASHINGTON — The Daviess County Council decided to table Wednesday the payment of $2,950 in legal fees the Bennington Levee Board has incurred, causing one of its board members to walk out of the meeting.
Levee board member Tom Graham, who has been to most county meetings when the question of claims came up, told the council the Army Corps of Engineers will be at the levee today to look at the current progress. But Graham said he is not sure if the corps will certify the levee in the first quarter of this year, something the county said he assured.
"I can sit here and say by April, but I can't back that up," Graham said. "We are subject to the Corps of Engineers."
The county is currently suing the levee board, three local investors, including Indiana Farm Bureau President Don Villwock and a construction company for damages to the Bennington Levee in 2010. But, the county has to pay for all expenses the levee board cannot pay, according to state statute.
At question Wednesday if that includes the legal fees for the board's defense in its lawsuit with the county. Although the county commissioners voted to approve the claim last month, the council decided to pay $85,580 in claims and not the $2.950 legal bill to Evansville-based firm Ziemer, Stayman, Wetzel and Shoulders on Wednesday.
Graham asked why.
"I don't like (the state statute). You don't like it," Graham said.
County attorney Grant Swartzentruber countered by saying the county is liable to the repair, not the board's legal fees.
Graham then walked out of the meeting.
"That's not right Grant. You know it's not right," Graham said.
This is not the first time the county and the levee board have clashed. Last month, the commissioners threatened to withhold payment of $200,000 in bills the levee board owes without a timetable on repayment to the county.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Survivors of Haiti's earthquake have been struggling to save their friends, relatives and neighbors, even as they await promised aid from afar.
People have been using sledgehammers and their bare hands to try to find victims in the rubble.
Survivors have been carrying the wounded to hospitals in wheelbarrows and on doors used as stretchers. The police have been turning their pickup trucks into ambulances.
And if there were any organized efforts to distribute food or water, they were not visible yesterday. Looting had begun immediately after the quake, as people carried food from collapsed buildings.
As darkness fell last night, survivors in Haiti's capital set up camps amid piles of salvaged goods. Thousands of people have gathered on blankets outside the crumpled presidential palace. Hundreds of them waved their hands and sang hymns in a joyful, even defiant tone.

QUESTION: Amy in Rockford, IL, has a 14-year-old son. He has a full-time job this summer and is about to receive his first paycheck. They have taught him about spending, saving and giving, and his first goal is to buy an iPad Mini. Amy asks Dave and Rachel if the money should be allocated from his savings or his spending, since his dad is going to put $2,000 toward a fixer-upper car.
ANSWER: (Rachel) The way mom and dad raised us — and correct me if I'm wrong, dad — the savings category for a 14-year-old is more of a long-term spending category. At that age, they're not going to be saving for retirement or something in the distant future. Now, if college or a car is in the picture, then maybe he needs to make that a higher priority than an iPad Mini. But as far as I'm concerned, a 14-year-old's savings category is a long-term spending category.
(Dave) Sure, which means an iPad Mini is okay. The big question we would've had around our place would be the car. We required our kids to buy their cars, and we agreed to match whatever they saved. At our house it would have sounded like this: "You can use your savings for an iPad Mini, that's fine. But you have to understand this $400 thing is actually costing you $800 if we're matching you." We're going to talk that part through, and it would be one and done. If it were out of savings at our place, given that the car is in the picture, we're probably going to do that one. But from then on, your savings is going toward your car and the other stuff is coming out of spending. You've got to be realistic about saving up toward a car.
The other thing is this … In the kids' minds we were perfect at all this. Of course we weren't perfect — there were a lot of things we messed up in this deal — but we convinced them we were, I guess. More than anything else, we were always asking ourselves this: What's the lesson? What's the takeaway here? The takeaway is not an iPad Mini. The takeaway is not picking up a car. The takeaway is teaching the kid to save for a goal. But the danger of the mathematics is part of the lesson, too. If he goes and buys an iPad Mini, then something else and something else, he's going to have about $3 in savings. He'll be riding a bike, because his car's not going to be running.
QUESTION: Tucker in Topeka, Kan., has been renting a 5,000-square-foot space for his small business for just over a year. His landlord asked if he'd like to buy the location, which includes two adjacent tenants, for between $150,000 and $200,000. He's paying $1,300 a month for rent, and that would almost cover the monthly mortgage payment on the building. What does Dave think?
ANSWER: Yeah, but that's the great misnomer about these situations. You can get out of a tenant situation and move on. You can't just get out of a mortgage situation and move on without selling the property.
Here's the thing: If your business had been around a little longer, and you had the cash to buy it, I might suggest doing this. But here's the problem with buying real estate associated with the operation of your business. I've got this problem right now. I've got a 64,000-square-foot building that our business operates in. I've also leased another 40,000 feet out back from another company that owns it, and I bought another building next door, because we've outgrown the first building. Now I'm having to fight all the time to make sure I don't conform my business to my building, and instead make the building conform to the business.
It's really tempting, in other words, to not grow and have to move out of this place we love. But we're going to have to move out of it. We're not going to be here in three or four years; we're going to be somewhere else. And I'm going to have a really nice, empty office building at that point — that's paid for, that I'll rent. Otherwise, this business is going to be stuck.
But the problem can be that if the business is growing, is shrinking or hasn't been open long enough to stabilize, a piece of real estate can start being the tail that wags the dog, instead of the dog wagging the tail. I love real estate, but I'd remain a tenant in your situation. A, you don't have the money; and B, you haven't been doing this long enough to know what your real estate and physical plant needs are going to be.
QUESTION: Gretchen in Germany is calling because her husband is about to separate from the military and will receive a year's salary in separation pay. It is taxable. He is considering going into the National Guard. If he does, they will need to repay that separation pay. Dave advises Gretchen to check into whether or not the separation pay can be declined.
ANSWER: I would just assume not receive the pay. The problem is if they pay you a year's pay, you get to pay taxes on it. But then you have to turn around and have to pay the whole thing back. They just cost you 40% to get the opportunity to sign up for the Guard. That's not very good. I think I'd decline the separation pay if you think you're going to go in. I would look into seeing if you can do that. If you can't, it's costing you 40% or 30% of a year's pay.
This is like a reverse signing bonus.
This is a $20,000 hit. You're going to lose $20,000 for the opportunity to get to sign up for the Guard. The $10,000 Guard signing bonus offsets you $10,000, so it'll only cost you $10,000 to get to take the new job.
I'm really looking into this. I can't believe that the military—I can believe it, but it's not logical—the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. You would think that they would want guys coming out of the military in the Guard and that there'd be a way to avoid this issue.
If you take the money, it's taxable. If you have to pay the money back, it doesn't save you on taxes. You're going to lose the taxation on $75,000, which is probably $20,000. That's just a rip. That's awful, especially when you've been serving your country for 10 years and you're going to turn around and serve your country again. That's just craziness.
I would get in there with the military office and say, "Hey, we'd rather not have the separation pay," if you're going to take the Guard job. And I'd take the Guard job in time to refuse the separation pay if that is an option. I don't know if it's an option. It should be, but otherwise, you're going to lose $10,000 net on this transaction.
It's worse than an ugly loan because you've got a full taxation on it. That's the problem. It's not even a good loan. It's not even an ugly loan. It's just nastiness.
So if he's going to take the job, I would try to avoid the separation pay, and I'd try to find out in time to avoid it if that is an option. If not, you know taking the job is going to cost you $20,000 in taxes. The Guard's going to give you $10,000, so your net loss is $10,000. It just takes the fun out of this.
QUESTION: Lindsey in Dallas and her husband have a mortgage on their home, and the payment is more than 25% of their take-home pay. They're trying to decide if they should be placing the full 15% of their income toward retirement or pay down the mortgage. They have a $350,000 mortgage and make $7,000 a month.
ANSWER: Your take-home pay includes bonuses, so you're fine on that. I would be putting 15% of your income into retirement. Above that, I'd be throwing money at college and then money to pay off the house as soon as possible. The good news is that you're really starting to get some wiggle room now, because you've gotten all this other stuff cleaned up.
The 25% of your take-home pay includes all of your income. That's our general rule of thumb. If your house is 27% of your take-home pay, that doesn't mean you have to sell your house. I'm just trying to keep people who are buying a house from buying too much. I don't want you to be house poor or be so tied up with a mortgage that you can't breathe.
You have to stop and think about what your steps are to buy a home that stays within that general range, so you aren't house poor and the house thus owns you. Then when you buy, you have a payment that is no more than a fourth of your take-home pay on a 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage.

I may be cynic, but if OLPC is just or mainly an experiment, they could have done it on a much smaller scale, maybe in the school behind the corner.

Portal 2 is the sequel to Portal a very popular physics based game. You can download full version of the game free from this page. Portal game was developed due to the high praise the mod received created for Half Life game. Since then it has been developed as a separate game.
You play as Chell the same character from the first game and the game takes place after the events of the first game took place. The game will start in Aperture where you wake up and meet the robot named Wheatley. He will guide you through the game in the early stages until you get a hang of the game. The dialogues that Wheatley speaks are witty and funny and are in context to what's happening on screen. The developers have given a lot of attention to detail and every minute thing has been covered before releasing the game. Updates have also been released to take out any problems you might have and the game plays perfectly. GLaDOS is the AI system that's powering the Aperture and the reason for demise of this facility from the first game. The link given at the bottom of this page will let you Download Portal 2 Free for PC Full Version Game.
Most of the time you will be in a test room where you will have to solve puzzles based on physics and get out of that room. Once you complete a puzzle a door will open to let you through. You will then take an elevator to get to the next level where you will face your next test. As you enter each room the mechanical parts in that spur to life with the help of GLaDOS who is controlling all the things inside this facility. The main feature of a game like Portal 2 is gameplay and visuals even though not important in such a engrossing game still look great. At the starting stages of the game will be given the Portal gun which lets you create portals on the walls of the rooms you are in. Remember though only some parts of the building will let you create the portal. You create two portals at a time; one will be shown in blue and the other in orange/red. You can use these to get to the areas which are not accessible to you via the normal route.
Portal 2 has done some great things even better and you will feel that the original game was lacking in something after you play this game. The puzzles are very challenging as you go far in the game but they never feel impossible to complete. The game features big maps and a lot of characters. Great dialogues and storytelling with some great voice acting make the experience even better. Portal 2 is an out-and-out winner. Play this great game and experience something unique. Following link will let you Download Portal 2 Free.

Chris Brown over at buffalobills.com has a story up about how TY Hilton has been productive for the Colts and how TJ Graham has not. Brown points out that both guys are speedy WRs and that both were taken in the 3rd round--Hilton taken well after Graham. The story includes this puzzling quote from Chan Gailey:
"He's playing a little bit more inside than we're playing T.J. inside," said Bills head coach Chan Gailey of the Colts receiver. "We're playing T.J. outside for the most part. T.Y. had been an inside player in college so he had a lot more experience at that, and they didn't have the veteran receivers that we have. It's harder to break T.J. in whereas they didn't have a lot (of experienced talent) and had to throw him in there and he's been productive for them."
They (the Colts) don't have the veteran receivers that we (Buffalo) have? Buffalo has Johnson, Jones and a tendency to run 3 WR sets. The only other guys on the roster at the moment are the terrible Ruvell Martin and the completely unused (and only recently promoted to the roster) Marcus Easley. It's ridiculous to suggest that Graham can't get on the field because of the depth of talent in front of him. Maybe Gailey should have just stated the obvious; Buffalo drafted a WR who was less NFL ready than Indy. That doesn't mean that Graham won't eventually be the better player - though in Gailey's system it seems unlikely that Graham will get a chance to really break out.

Times West Virginian
The Fairmont Senior boys' soccer team fell for the first time in the young 2013 season Thursday night.
The Linsly Cadets notched three goals, all in the first half, to take down the Polar Bears.
The Cadets were aggressive on offense early on as they seemed to keep the ball on Fairmont Senior's side of the field for most of the first half. Their first goal came from the foot of junior captain Mason George at the 27:31 mark.
The second goal of the game came just after the midway point in the first half when Jae Wook Ahn drilled a shot past the Polar Bears' backup goalkeeper, Miseal Guerrero, to make the score 2-0 in favor of Linsly. The Cadets would add one more goal before the half was over behind the leg of Sung Bok Yoo, with just under 9:00 to play.
Senior Ben Posin, who played all over the field for the Cadets, looked very calm with the ball throughout the game. Posin's position is listed as "all" on the team's roster, and he showed just why that is in Thursday's contest, setting up a number of shots for his team en route to the win.
Linsly controlled the ball for most of the first half, taking 15 shots on Guerrero, who was filling in for David Childers. who wasn't at the game due to a personal matter. Guerrero, though, made three tough saves in the second half to keep the score manageable.

Tributaries (9/1/2010)
Published 9/2/2009
The Detroit International Jazz Festival celebrates its 30th Labor Day weekend with a tagline of "Keepin' Up With the Joneses" and a theme of jazz families. Most notably, there's Hank Jones, the survivor of a mighty Pontiac bop triumvirate that comprised him and his late brothers Thad and Elvin. The fest that opens with Hank on Friday also includes, among others, Detroit's McKinney clan (McKinfolk) and the Heath Brothers; the father-child pairings of Larry and Julian Coryell, Peter and Juan Escovedo, and John and Bucky Pizzarelli; not to mention children following in the musical footsteps of parents: T.S. Monk, Chuchito Valdez, Gerald Clayton, Johnny O'Neal, the Clark Sisters and Karriem Riggins.
But "family" in music can be both genetic and aesthetic. "We're all connected. It's amazing how extended the family is and how deep it goes," the former Detroiter Bennie Maupin said the other day, while noting his musical kinship to the late Eric Dolphy. These stories explore some of those varied connections, among other things.

Three Spakenburg women wearing traditional costumes posed in Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy. The three sisters (in law) Corrie, Hendrikje and Wijmpje Koelewijn have always lived up to the traditions of the little fishertown Spakenburg. They are now witnessing how these traditional ways of living and dressing are dwindling fast.
For 12,5 years, Hans Lemmerman and Inge van Run ( Het Wilde Oog) have photographed these three women in combinations of costume heritage and Dutch art, design and architecture.
The pictures of the Spakenburg Divas were made at various locations in Lloyd Hotel, among which a 5-star room by Joep van Lieshout, Franck Bragigant's red bar, and a meeting room by Scholten & Baijens.

The Edmond Sun
It appeared to be a real-life scenario: A three-car crash with injuries. The sooner rescue personnel could extricate the victims and get them on their way to advanced medical care the better their chances of surviving.
Edmond Fire Department personnel tackled the drill as if it were real, said Fire Maj. Joe Elam. Earlier, Elam had set up the scene at the agency's regional training facility, located near I-35 and Covell.
The Fire Department's Technical Rescue Team consists of highly skilled rescue technicians, firefighters trained to respond to a variety of special situations including: Collapsed buildings, trench cave-ins, high angle rope rescues, swift water rescue, confined space emergencies, heavy machinery and transportation incidents, flood rescue and vehicle extrication.
Elam said the Technical Rescue Team utilizes a special trailer that includes many specialized tools for most situations that may be encountered including freeing citizens trapped in a vehicle.
The extrication process includes protecting the accident scene, patient triage and assessment, securing the vehicle to prevent unexpected movement, opening the vehicle and removing a section of the vehicle to gain access to the victim.
In life-and-death situations, seconds count, and firefighters take advantage of training to sharpen their skills, Elam said.
Tools of the trade include spreaders and cutters, vehicle stabilization tools, axes, rams, hack saws and long boards.

Courtney Love is one train-wreck that keeps on keepin' on. The death-defying hot mess is in the news again after details surfaced regarding a restraining order taken out against her by Frances Bean Cobain. In 2009, the daughter--shared between Love and deceased Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain--alleged that her mother "killed" their pets.
Frances Bean Cobain alleged in the previously sealed documents that Courtney Love was a hoarder who suffered from a pill addiction, which led to the deaths of her cat and dog. Her pet cat reportedly died after getting tangled in fabric and assorted hoarder treasures collected by the troubled "singer." Furthermore, Frances's pet dog died after ingesting some of Courtney's pills.
From the looks of these documents, it seems that living with Courtney Love is like something straight out of a horror movie and it's fortunate that Frances Bean has been able to get out and move on with her life. Living under her mother's roof must've been traumatic; not healthy for anybody who wants to retain their sanity. At least that's what the documents make apparent. It's alleged that Love lived off a steady diet of pills, sugar and cigarettes and rarely ate. These details and a host of other intimate secrets can be read in Courtney Comes Clean by Maer Roshan.

Still recovering from the Don Imus scandal, CBS Radio suspended two local shock jocks after they twice broadcast a racially charged prank call to employees at a Chinese restaurant.The hosts of the daily morning show, WFNY-FM's "The Dog House With JV and Elvis," have been suspended indefinitely without pay, CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo told The New York Times in an e-mail Monday. One of the hosts, Jeff Vandergrift, apologized on Monday's show, she said.Local chapters of the Organization of Chinese Americans, an advocacy group, released a statement Sunday protesting the segment. By Monday, California state Sen. Leland Yee and others joined the campaign.In the segment, broadcast on April 5 — a day after the infamous Imus comment on CBS — and again last week, a caller to a Chinese restaurant intersperses an order for takeout with lewd language.The caller tells one female employee he wants to come to the restaurant to see her naked and refers to a part of her body as "hot, Asian, spicy." The caller also attempts to order "shrimp flied lice."The show's hosts, Vandergrift and Dan Lay, have been campaigning online and on the air in support of Imus since his firing for calling the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on April 4.A CBS Radio spokeswoman did not immediately respond to telephone and e-mail messages from The Associated Press late Monday.Community advocates pushed for CBS to fire the hosts of the show, which can be heard only in the New York City area and on the Internet."If they don't fire the DJ's, it will be a double standard," said Vicki Shu Smolin, president of the New York City chapter of the Organization of Chinese Americans.

Where to buy fancy "Nutella?"
I love Nutella, but I'm looking for something more intense, with high-end chocolate and good hazelnuts. Something that's not overwhelmingly sweet. I've tried Rapunzel's Choconut and think it's okay.
I believe Food Emporium by E. 68 St. has Venchi chocolate-hazelnut spread in their chocolate department. Anyone tried it? This spread from La Molina (http://www.gustiamo.com/cgi-bin/front...) also looks good, but it's $35 a jar!
re: pbjluver
That site also has $70 panettone, $15 San Marzano tomatoes, and $7 pasta (all of which I are worth it according to this article: http://www.gourmet.com/food/2009/01/c...).
Forgot about Le Pain Quotidien. Their spread is very good, but I can make something very similar at home.
Have never tried this...luv Nutella
Only $25.00 a jar
Whole Foods sells 2 different brands of organic chocolate hazelnut spread ... both are very good although the brand names escape me.
I recall that one is from Italy and is the better of the two.
Very dangerous to the waste line .. especially if peanut butter and crackers are nearby. An extraordinary combination.

Not again!
For the third time in eight days, the National Weather Service is predicting a rough day and night for Belmont and eastern Massachusetts, especially between 4 p.m. and midnight.
Despite cloud cover this morning, partial sunshine is expected to break through in the early afternoon, allowing for an unstable atmosphere, which will help build for multiple rounds of thunderstorms, the NWS said.
The region can expect thunderstorms later today, with some being severe, producing heavy downpours, with two to four inches of rain possible in these storms.
The NWS says this could result in flooding.
The first watch has just been issued for flash flooding. The flash flood watch will go into effect at 4 p.m.
A flash flood watch means conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding.
Other hazards expected from any severe thunderstorms today include damaging wind and large hail.
The NWS says isolated tornadoes are also possible today but the greatest risk for these storms is in western Massachusetts.
Last Wednesday, three heavy downpours in 90 minutes caused isolated flooding in Belmont including in the roadway under the commuter rail bridge. On Tuesday, threatening clouds passed by Belmont only to cause flooding on the South Shore.

Honda CR-V AC Compressor Problems
My 2007 CR-V AC suffered "Black Death" with less than 35,000 miles on it. The dealership refused to do anything stating that I should have bought an extended warranty. My husband and I both own a Honda, but if they don't take care of this, it will be the last one I ever own.
The reason I bought a Honda was because I thought they made a quality product or at least stood behind their product. They have offered to pay $600 toward the bill, but in my case, the entire system had to be replaced due to their faulty part.
Mine has been replaced three times.....THREE!!! The last episode left me stranded on the freeway for hours with my autistic grandson. I am so fed up, and with summer fast approaching, wonder if my air will work this summer, or leave me stranded again. Financially, I cannot afford to fix it again. I guess if it does, I will have to trade cars and it won't be another Honda.
I have a 2011 CRV that in two years has been in five times for poor cooling performance on the AC. Last time it was in they did the recall on the clutch. Each time they tell me it is working properly and each time I tell them when it gets over 75deg and sunny the car will not cool down. It seems to start out good and cold when I turn it on, put after about ten minutes is just looses the good cold flow and is cool but not cold like it needs to run so the car never cools down no matter how long or how hard I run it.
I am thinking either a problem still exists in the cycle of the compressor or it is just under designed.
Is this a common problem ?
Most shops do not vacuum the moisture out of the system for long enough because time is money. Often they only get 5 min of vacuum when they should have upwards of 2 hours. Naturally care has to be taken when undoing equipment to preserve that dried internal system environment. Any amount of moisture whatsoever in the system will contaminate the new refrigerant and make it cool less efficiently.
Also, very important to install a NEW dryer canister whenever A/C parts are replaced. This helps keep internal moisture at a minimum. They do not cost a lot considering how important it is.
Next, make sure there is not too much refrigerant being put back in. If the shops A/C tool centre, has extra long hoses, then that extra length might be contributing to over charging. That is a bad as under charging.
I am not an expert, but from what I do understand, it sounds like you have an expansion valve that is freezing, hence the nice cold air at the beginning. Or even the evaporator may be freezing up. Is there an excessive amount of dripping water after the car has been turned off for an hour or so in 80¼ weather? And then if you start car A/C will blow cold again for a bit? An icing evaporator will do this and also if you seem to not have as much air flow coming into the car...because the ice is literally plugging the evaporator veins.
Also make sure the fans that pull air through the condenser are cycling with the compressor. If they are not working then in stop and go trips, when u come to stop, air will not be cold as when you start to drive again getting air through the condenser.
But it could be other reasons too..
edit- also..."5 times" - insist on having a DIFFERENT tech address this issue. The original guy could be doing the same wrong things over and over, or lack knowledge.
mada4 Posts: 1I may be in the same boat, my 2008 CRV is at the dealer now with A/C not working. Has anyone repaired this themselves? Ive read that the entire system needs replaced, has anyone attempted this? Im just considering all my options. I have 110,000 miles so I'm even outside the extended warranty for the A/C system.
jimw18 Posts: 1You are correct. Honda not customer service orientated. I also had a problem with my 2004 Honda CRV compressor. I had an extended warranty which paid for a new compressor. The extended warranty through Honda cost me $1,200. I am part of the class action lawsuit against Honda for their compressor problems. Now Honda won't pay anything because I purchased the extended warranty. By the way I also own a 2010 Hyundai Elantra. Hyundai really takes care of their customers. I will never buy another Honda product again. Honda's quality and service after the sale really stinks.
The freon has been taken out three times in the first year. Mostly to fix leaks, could be moisture in the system but I am not getting water dripping off after shut down.
Honda ran a test on it last time and went through the report with me. They claim all is with in. Specs. All I could tell the guy is if the car sits in the sun you can drive it for two hours and it will not cool down so either you under designed the system or it is not working properly under demand
Honestly not sure I feel like fighting with Honda any more about it. I am going back to Fords the reliability gap does not favor the Japan made cars any more
I hold my breath every time I turn mine on, afraid it isnt going to work. Has been fixed three times. Had it fixed once, new system installed which immediately went bad and had to be replaced again, then two years later, after locking up and leaving me stranded on the freeway. I love this car, but won't buy another. Can't afford to keep doing this expensive repair.
Not sure Ford is going to be any better than Honda in that regard. See link. But besides that...pick ANY issue Honda has ever had whether it be auto trans, A/C, too sensitive air bag sensors...you name it...Ford has done it all and more.
As you can see, Ford too have had their issues with what is known as Black Death. This is the same symptom that takes out the CRV A/C systems. It is why the entire system needs to be replaced or the contamination just re-contaminates the new parts that were replaced and the cycle starts all over again.
After three months, speaking to 12 people, and having me submit documentation of repairs numerous times I was told Honda would not reimburse me for my repairs. My husband and I test drove the 2013 CRVs and are both in the market for new cars. I was all set to purchase that day, but I wanted to see if they stood behind their product. After speaking to three or four managers, each of them telling me there was nothing wrong with the CRV a/c, I realize THEY DON'T stand behind their product, so I they lost two sales. I will NEVER buy another Honda.
rugglesb Posts: 1My 2010 CR-V, even brand new, never "wowed" me with the AC performance. So, when I got the letter about the compressor clutch warranty extension, it made me wonder. Sure enough, the first warm spell of the spring came, and my AC would not blow cold air, so I took it in to the dealership (with my extension warranty letter in tow) only to be told that the problem was not the compressor clutch, but the evaporator and expansion valve that would cost $945. Is it me, or does this seem a little too coincidental? Looks like a scam, quacks like a scam....anybody else been given this all too profitable answer from a Honda dealership?
Consider yourself lucky if you have only had to replace a couple parts. Honda will tell you it's anything just so they don't have to spend a few dollars to make it right and admit fault. They don't realize that they would have happy continued loyalty instead of angry disgruntled one time customers.
Mine is essentially the same story.
1st time was 2mo after I bought it new in 2011. It had less than 5#'s in it they claimed it was low from the factor I sad BS it has a leak.
2mo later I take it back in and demand they take the freon back out sure enough down to 5# again. they put die in it and tell me the fill valve is leaking.
2mo later back in 5# again, oh the valve is still leaking.
Now it is winter. next summer take it back in they claim it is full show me a fancy test as tell me it works fine. I say BS to the service manager.
3mo later I get a clutch recall notice, take it in sure enought the clutch is all most completly burned up they agree to replace it.
Still does not get very cold.
I don't hate Honda's they are a low cost low thrill car. But what it does confirm for me is that a Ford truely has caught and passed Honda in over all quality, which is more than a low price. Drive a new Excape, it is just a better vehicle than a Honda for the price. Buy American, the Honda's are nto better any more.
duncanodin Posts: 1Just got off phone with Honda about my Ac in my 2007 crv- The jerk I spoke to denies Honda ever having class action suit against them for Ac problems. Right now im looking at approx. 2600 to 3,000 for ac repair. Im so beyond words with Honda... This guy talked to me like im stupid.
pvilllookn Posts: 2I revived a letter a couple of months ago from Honda in Torrance, CA. I filled out the claim for $900+ and sent it in. Two weeks later I got a check for $617. That us $617 more than I thought I would get. Had to verify that the car had less than 100,000 miles when the clutch went out. I have a 2007 CRV. I had to buy the compressor and clutch from a third party as Honda did not have any on the east coast when mine went out. Not totally satisfied but a lot more happy about the ending than I was.
Call Honda in Torance, CA they are the ones handling these claims.
oldbearcat Posts: 165I just took my 2010 CRV to the dealer as well because of poor A/C performance. They checked it out and told me the system was performing to specifications, and, there's nothing wrong with it. They didn't charge me anything, but, it convinced me that this will probably be my last Honda. I'm tired of cooking when I sit in traffic in the Summer.
I had my clutch replaced on my 2011 CRV and it still does not get cold like it should.
I am a bit tired of going to meetings dripping because my car will not cool down if it sat in the sun.
I hate to say this but I am thinking serously about just dumping it and buying a new Escape and admit I bought it because it was cheap and I got what I paid for.

Library "Volunteen" Payton Barr escorted the Library's mascot "Sneaks" throughout the branch during the event last week.
"This is my first year volunteering here," said Payton. "I loved coming to the library when I was little so I thought it would be fun. The kids are very excited."
Children were provided a number of activities during the day, including a scavenger hunt throughout the branch and facepainting by award-winning Australian face painter Christalene Karaiskakis.

Honesty? That's what's missing.
Let me admit to a few upfront prejudices. #1, if you ask me if I think Kevin Pritchard has done a good job, I'm going to answer yes. This is entirely based on empirical information. and evaluation. It's based mostly on where I perceive the franchise was when he arrived and was given GM duties, and where the franchise is today. In general under Pritchard the overall direction of the franchise has been positive. This is my opinion. So I would have to line up with the Kevin Pritchard supporters.
Having admitted that, I'd go further and say I don't really care if he's let go. Huh?....The way I look at it, as KP himself says, "They" can do whatever they want...The idea that Paul Allen, Vulcan, or whomever...I'm assuming Paul Allen...wishes for whatever reason, good, bad or indifferent to change GM's is alright with me. I think it happens in business all the time.
The major problem I'm having is simply the way this has been handled. We've had months of denial, no comment, nothings been determined, this is just "normal"...don't ask us, we'll tell you when and if we feel like it. And that's what wrong. I realize in business and in life, there might be circumstance either business related or personal that make revealing details to the public impossible or problematic....and I'm okay with that as well. For example...***warning this is pure hypothetical speculation just to illustrate a point*** Let's say Paul Allen decided he simply does not like Kevin Pritchard....for any reason...maybe he's allergic to his aftershave...maybe he told a joke that Paul didn't find funny....whatever....I think as an owner that has invested as much as Paul Allen has into The Blazers he has every right to let KP go and replace him. But what I would of hoped for The Franchise as well as Paul Allen was a striving for every degree of honesty and openness about the process and decision. That has not happened. Really, I don't even need the details...but instead of "Nothings Been Determined" or callous silence on the issue, a simple honest....Yes...The Blazers have decided to pursue a different direction and we are looking to replace Kevin Pritchard...would of been fine with me. But for whatever reason that level of honesty was not forthcoming...and as a fan that's what bothers me most.
There is another aspect that bothers me. With human beings and life, I'm not asking for perfection. BUT how do you bungle this whole thing this badly? Really?
The Blazers and Kevin Pritchard can say they are totally focused on The Draft and everything is being executed professionally and competently but it seems to me if you are approaching a draft with your acting GM in direct and public conflict with ownership then things simply cannot be ideal. This should of never been allowed to happen. How is everything okay? Even during years where I felt KP and Allen were on the same page, I always assumed that ultimately Kevin Pritchard needed Paul Allens approval to excute anything on draft day or before, during or after the draft. At the very, very least you'd think that avenue of communication would be awkward. Add to this the reality that this "break-up" has been so twisted and public and so drawn out and what other GM's are going to respect Kevin Pritchard as a legitimate representative of The Franchise?...I mean imagine the phone conversation from Kevin to other GM's...."Hello this is Kevin Pritchard, GM of The Blazers..." other end of the conversation..."That's not what I hear".
No this has been handled horribly...and with every non-statement from Larry Miller and every statement from Kevin Pritchard I just feel like booing the franchise I grew up supporting and loving. These are not great days to be a Blazer.

Meadville Tribune
Lawrence George Hillman Jr., 70, of Conneaut Lake, passed on early Friday morning, May 17, 2013, in Cleveland University Hospital, after a short illness.
Larry was born in Warren, Ohio, to Lawrence and Rumina Hillman. The Hillmans owned, operated and lived on the family farm in Bristolville, Ohio, where Larry grew up with a fondness of animals, an appreciation for horses, classy cars, music and a great love of having fun. Larry remained close to his family, friends and schoolmates his entire life.
Larry was a proud member of the U.S. Air Force from 1964 to 1970, trained in Fort Hood, Texas, and then stationed in Minot, N.D. It was in Dakota where he met his wife, Florence. Larry moved his new wife back to Ohio, where they welcomed the birth of their son, Michael Lawrence.
Larry worked at Peerless Winsmith, formerly H.K. Porter, for more than 30 years as a computer programmer and labor leader. Larry took his work home with him when the personal computer became prevalent and shared that love of technology with his son.
Larry also shared his great passion for flying with his son. With a great deal of respect and envy, Michael proudly followed in his father's footprints to achieve his pilot's license. The two enjoyed flying together in many different aircraft over the years.
Larry was an avid boater his entire life and owned his last two boats on Conneaut Lake. Always wanting to be like dad, Michael also became a boater.
In 1992, Larry and Florence were divorced but remained close friends. In 1993, Larry met Sandy Darrin of Conneaut Lake during a skating event — a hobby they both loved and shared. Sandy brought Larry an extraordinary happiness and friendship. They were engaged to be married and remained together until his passing. Sandy and Larry spent many hours enjoying their boats on Conneaut and often ate their meals together on the lake.
Larry's quick wit and zest for life made him a popular guy, especially with his family.
Larry leaves, too early, his son, Michael (and Marie) Hillman of Cortland, Ohio; his grandson, Joseph Michael; his fiancée, Sandy Darrin of Conneaut Lake; his sister, Penny (and Jerry) Callahan of Cortland; his brother, Edward (and Clora) Hillman of Bristolville; and his brother, Thomas (and Marlene) of Bristolville.
Friends can call from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at Shafer Winans Funeral Home, Cortland.
There will be a graveside memorial service on Saturday at Sager Memorial Cemetery at 11:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Larry's name to Putting Downs First Inc., P.O. Box 81, Southington, Ohio 44470; or to the Fairhaven Foundation, 45 North Road, Niles, Ohio 44446.

In the .com/.net registry, we require a registrar to submit the DS record it wants published on behalf of its registrant: either the registrar or the registrant needs to calculate the DS record(s) from the DNSKEY. We did not want to be in the position of making the judgement call regarding DS digest types, e.g., what if we decided on only SHA-256 but that didn't resolve somewhere important to the registrant? We are doing a sanity check on the algorithm field, however, and only allowing DS records for legitimate algorithms, i.e., we are tracking http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml#dns-sec-alg-numbers-1. Here's a question for everyone: of the assigned algorithm types on the page referenced above, are there any that don't make sense to allow a DS record for? I'm thinking particularly of indirect (252) and the two private codes (253 and 254). Is there any legitimate reason for a DS record for keys with those algorithms to appear in the "public" name space? My inclination is that they should be allowed unless proven harmful. Can anyone think of a reason to classify any assigned algorithm as actually harmful? Matt

Happy "Dad's Day", to all the fathers (intentional and accidental), grandfathers, and father figures out there…
"It had nothing to do with the allegations. I know what kind of people they are. Everybody makes mistakes, but that's just not where my heart is. I don't think that's where I wanted to go in the first place. They're still good people whether all of that stuff happened or not. Coach Tressel is still a good guy. They're still all right with me."
If anything, the linebacker from Richmond, Va., said, the troubles have served as motivation for not only him but also two of his fellow freshmen, defensive back Doran Grant and quarterback Braxton Miller.
"I talk to Doran all the time, and to Braxton, and our attitude is, 'Let's go in and do it, man. Let's be a big three and go in there and help make it happen,'" Curtis Grant (no relation to Doran) said before arriving on campus this weekend. "I told Braxton he's got to lead that offense, and that I am going to do my best to come in and try to get a starting spot, and try to lead the defense the best way I can.
The Big Man will be missed. Jungleland is in the running for the greatest rock 'n roll song ever: "barefoot girl sittin' on the hood of a dodge drinkin' warm beer in the soft summer rain…" RIP, Clarence Clemmons.
Congrats to the student-athletes for OSU's placement in the Director's Cup.

The District Clerk's office is dealing with about triple the workload this week because of an influx in medical malpractice lawsuits filed last week. The deadline to file was last Friday but they say it's a race against the clock to keep up with the workload.
"We've seen about a triple load on the filing of civil cases," says Deputy District Clerk, James Salas. A triple work load that began after the August 29th deadline to file a medical malpractice lawsuit without a cap on non economic damages.
|Proposed Constitutional Amendments September 13, 2003
More >>
"We've been really busy with a lot of suits being filed. A lot of the cases involving medical malpractice and personal injury," says Salas.
Salas says on a normal business day they receive only a few malpractice lawsuits or none at all. And in light of the new law he's counting the dozens of lawsuits he's received in just one day. The full report for August 29th is at least an inch thick. He says it's taking mountains of paperwork to file malpractice cases. Because many of them have multiple parties as litigants. "That's what took up a lot of our time is getting all the parties into the system, addresses and business addresses so that we could have it to put in the computer, we already have that on file," says Salas.
|Early Voting Locations For Constitutional Amendment Election

And now all this paperwork will be passed on to district judges who will now have to handle the large malpractice lawsuit workload along with hundreds of other civil cases.
Now the state law called Proposition 12, capping damages for malpractice lawsuits, will be voted on September 13th. It's a question of whether the legislature has the authority to set those caps. If it's defeated the caps are still in place, but Texans will have the ability to sue over whether the legislature could make that decision in the first place.

Kitty Kelley writing book on women in Congress
NEW YORK (AP) - Kitty Kelley's next book will be short on celebrity gossip and long on gender and politics.
Kelley has a deal with Grand Central Publishing for a book about the record 98 women serving in the current Congress and how they might change Washington. Grand Central, a division of Hachette Book Group, announced Monday that the book is currently untitled and is scheduled for 2016.
Kelley is known for unflattering best sellers about Nancy Reagan and Frank Sinatra, but she also has a background in politics. In the 1960s, she worked as a press aide for Sen. Eugene McCarthy, the Democrat and Vietnam War opponent from Minnesota.

In 1953 four young men signed a management contract with Buck Ram. None of them was Wilson Williams. Ram would replace Alex Hodge and add a "Dish," Zola Taylor, to the group. He wrote, arranged, managed and produced the group - with many personnel changes - until his death in 1991. At no time was Wilson Williams ever a member of that group - which the courts have found to be the one and only legal group called The Platters. Sometime after 1994 Williams began to sing as part of the group of a former lead singer of Ram's group, and he did apply for and receive a trademark for the name Wilson Williams and The Platters in 2009. That still does not mean he was ever a member of the group. It means he filled out paperwork that slipped through the cracks. The Platters are the most imitated group of all time, and everyone wants to BE a Platter. No one wants to admit they are a tribute group singing Buck Ram's beautiful songs. It is a shame that people get away with this kind of thing.

The person that wrotte this blog or whatever you want to call it, must not know that jean bennett doe's not own the platters name, or that the five people that she mentions are all deceased except for Mr. Herb Reed, so the buck ram platters do not have one original member , contrary to what bennett wants the public to believe.
If the person who wrote this wants the whole story out there let me find one more of these post.
we will post and document jean bennetts lose's in court
we will post and document jean bennetts sordid personal past

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Austin Collie left Sunday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first quarter with a possible concussion.
Collie, who missed seven games in 2010 after suffering a pair of concussions, took a blow to the head from Pittsburgh linebacker Larry Foote while trying to haul in a pass from Andrew Luck. He was momentarily dazed before walking off the field under his own power and taken to the locker room for tests.
Collie wasn't the only Colts player to leave early. Linebacker Robert Mathis went out in the first quarter with a shoulder strain and defensive end Cory Redding went out with a leg injury.

and Policy Program
3rd Annual Symposium
the Symposium:
Since the events of September 11th,
the prospect of continued terrorism
in the US and abroad and the issues
related to homeland security have
been of paramount importance to policy
makers and the public. Technologies
originally developed for other purposes
are now being explored for counter-terrorism,
as in the application of optical spectroscopy
to the detection chemical weapons.
New technologies, such as face recognition
software, are also being created.
Moreover, new technologies developed
outside of the arena of terrorism
concerns, such as wireless computing,
present a new set of security issues.
Pervading the development of these
technologies are policy issues related
to privacy, freedom of movement, openness
of university research, and conflicts
with other constitutional rights.
symposium will address homeland security
science and technology, with an emphasis
on the role of the university. The
program will highlight university
contributions to the development of
science and technology for homeland
security, as well as the inherent
constraints. Lewis Branscomb, Co-chair
for the National Research Council
Committee on Science and Technology
for Countering Terrorism, will open
the symposium with an overview of
the role of science and technology
in areas of homeland security. MIT
President Charles Vest will introduce
the afternoon panels by addressing
broader issues at the intersection
of higher education, university research,
and homeland security. John Marburger,
Director of the White House Office
of Science and Technology, will be
the keynote speaker at lunch. Panels
will be organized around crosscutting
technologies (eg. risk assessment,
information technology and data mining)
and issues related to specific sector
threats (eg. bio-terrorism, cyber-terrorism).
MITs areas of expertise will
be highlighted, including cyber-security,
risk assessment, and history related
to the role of the university in areas
of national and international security.
the Technology and Policy Symposium
The mission of the Technology and
Policy Program (TPP) is to provide
an integrative education to scientists
and engineers who wish to lead in
developing and implementing responsible
strategies and policies for exploiting
technology for the benefit of their
communities. In support of this mission,
TPP sponsors a variety of forums that
bring students, faculty, and outside
speakers together to discuss technology
and policy issues. As our major event,
each Annual Symposium focuses on a
different major theme at the interface
of technology and policy.
May of 2001, TPP inaugurated the Annual
Symposium Series by hosting a major
event, funded in part by the Sloan
Foundation, marking the 25th anniversary
of the White House Office of Science
and Technology Policy (OSTP). The
speakers who participated in the day's
activities included an impressive
roster of former presidential science
advisors who spoke from a historical
perspective, prominent MIT faculty,
and other nationally regarded figures
who made presentations on current
issues in science and technology policy.
May of 2002, the 2nd Annual TPP Symposium,
"Sustainable Mobility: Global
Challenges for the 21st Century,"
drew many highly distinguished individuals,
both as speakers and participants,
who have played prominent roles in
transportation technology and policy.
John H. Marburger, III,
is Science Adviser to the President
of the United States and Director
of the Office of Science and
Technology Policy. Before his
appointment in the Executive
Office of the President, he
served as Director of Brookhaven
National Laboratory from 1998,
and as the third President of
the State University of New
York at Stony Brook (1980-1994).
He came to Long Island in 1980
from the University of Southern
California where he had been
a Professor of Physics and Electrical
Engineering, serving as Physics
Department Chairman and Dean
of the College of Letters, Arts
and Sciences in the 1970s.
presidency at Stony Brook coincided
with the opening and growth
of University Hospital and the
development of the biological
sciences as a major strength
of the university. During the
1980's, federally sponsored
scientific research at Stony
Brook grew to exceed that of
any other public university
in the northeastern United States.
While president, Marburger served
on numerous boards and committees,
including chairmanship of the
governor's commission on the
Shoreham Nuclear Power facility
and chairmanship of the 80 campus
"Universities Research
Association," which operates
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
near Chicago. While on leave
from Stony Brook, Marburger
carried out the mandates of
the Department of Energy to
improve management practice
at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

I heard something quite appalling last night. Sheila Birnbaum, the New York attorney appointed to oversee the 9/11 First Responders Fund, held a town hall meeting in New York. She expressed that first responders to Ground Zero after 9/11 who have cancer continue to not be covered. Birnbaum was quoted after the meeting as saying, "we just don't have the scientific evidence to support it at this point." She had the audacity to say this after retired New York Police Detective John Marshall (52 years old) spoke opposition through his breathing tube he has needed since starting treatment for throat cancer.
Those first responders who spent days sifting through who knows what kinds of carcinogens searching for co-workers, family members, and strangers do not deserve this. What is the worst that can happen? A first responder who has cancer unrelated to working at Ground Zero gets health care coverage? Would Rand Paul and the tea party consider this some kind of socialized medicine as well?
This is truly an embarassment and a scar on our nation. Where are the Congressional leaders on getting these national heroes the minimal humane treatment they so deserve? If there is no common ground outrage on a no-brainer such as this, is there really a surprise that they can't compromise on raising the debt ceiling?
