What's This
LENEXA, KS – (PR NEWSWIRE) – ICOP Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICOP; NYSE Arca:ICOP), a leading provider of digital in-car video systems for law enforcement, announced today that the Webb City Police Department in Missouri has chosen the ICOP Model 20/20 for fleet-wide deployment.
Commenting on the installation and use of the ICOP Model 20/20, Assistant Chief Don Melton of the Webb City Police Department stated, "We were one of the first agencies to beta test the ICOP Model 20/20 and it is our intention to outfit our entire fleet with these units. The ICOP Model 20/20 readily installs in the dash of the car without any problem. Moreover, it is much easier to use than the older VHS systems we had purchased many years ago and our officers feel they don't have to worry about anything; they can simply get in their car and go. Upon gathering officer feedback on the unit, we learned that there is literally nothing our officers do not like about the system – and that is saying something."
Dave Owen, Chief Executive Officer of ICOP, stated, "We continue to be very proud of the highly favorable response the ICOP Model 20/20 is receiving in the field. It is this type of strong customer validation that is serving to promote peer referrals and brisk sales for ICOP in cities spanning the country."

Diabetes Health Staff |
Apr 30, 2011 |Canadian scientists have found that nobiletin, a substance found in high concentrations in tangerines, thwarted obesity and the onset of diabetes in lab mice. The researchers at the University of Western Ontario fed the mice a high-sugar, high-fat diet that mimicked the diet of many people in Western societies. One group of animals became obese, developing fatty livers and elevated levels of cholesterol and insulin-typical precursors to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But a second group of mice, given the flavonoid nobiletin, did not develop the symptoms of the first group. The nobiletin prevented fatty buildup in the liver by blocking the genes that control the production of fat.

Nice, But Not For That Price
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by maktub on Nov 12, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
Price and longevity are what mostly caused me to give this product a low rating. It just didn't last long enough to be worth the price I paid (or more accurately, would have to pay if I repeat ordered). As to function, I used the soap that goes with this serum and perhaps that is why I didn't notice any dramatic results. The soap does so much for my skin on its own that it would be hard to notice any more. However, I can say that the smell was good, for me and I noticed that after usage, my skin did feel more moist and plumper.

A long time ago, I started a vegetable gardening project with a group of women. Since there was no water nearby, the way we tended our individual plots was to draw water from an open well, and carry one bucket-full at a time to where the plants were. Then, using a cup, each precious drop of liquid was meted out onto the soil immediately surrounding the seedlings. This was a lot of work! How much easier it would have been, if we had access to a faucet and a length of hose!
Most any task is easier to do when you have the right tools for the job, which is why it was so great when twelve additional stations were recently added to Crosby Branch Library's bank of public computers! More public computers means you have more access to important information-gathering tools. From doing a homework assignment [2] to researching family history [3], finding a job [4], and everything in between [5], your community library is here to provide you with tools that make pursuits of all kinds, easier and more fruitful.
(P. S. Since we have all of these snazzy new computers, a USB drive is required, if you wish to save the fruits of your work.)

The Seeds For A Much Bigger Crisis Have Now Been Sown
As the world seems to hurtle from one crisis to another, today a man out of Europe who has been extremely accurate with his calls on the gold market sent King World News a fantastic piece which warns that the seeds for a much bigger global crisis have now been sown. Below is the exclusive KWN piece by Ronald-Peter Stoferle of Incrementum AG out of Liechtenstein.
By Ronald-Peter Stoferle, Incrementum AG Liechtenstein
May 18 (King World News) - The Seeds For A Much Bigger Crisis Have Now Been Sown
Taking out new debt seems to have an increasingly counterproductive effect. It seems as if the marginal return on GDP per additional unit of debt is gradually declining. This means that economic output cannot any longer be stimulated by taking out additional debt. As soon as the dose of debt cannot be stepped up anymore or as if this course of treatment has to be discontinued altogether, the withdrawal effects will be painful. Gold should come out of this situation on the winning side....
Continue reading the Ronald Stoferle piece below...
To hear which company is the highest grade silver producer in the world
located in one of the most mining friendly countries and
offers investors massive blue sky click on the logo:
Excessive debt causes the room available to the government to shrink, because debt service eats up a growing portion of public spending. David Hume described this scenario in his 1752 essay "Public Credit." Excessive debt leads governments to pawn their future revenues and to lapse into faintness and incapacitation. A number of concrete examples substantiate this notion: In Germany, the three cost segments of social benefits, public sector pay, and interest and redemption of debt account for almost 75 percent of the federal budget. This means that only a quarter of tax revenues provide room to maneuver.
"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function" Albert Bartlett
The following chart shows the increase in dynamics. Public debt today is more than 5,000 times that of 1913, when the Federal Reserve was established. On the following chart we can see that "total credit market debt owed" would double every decade. We have recently seen some sideways consolidation, but if this pattern continued, the United States would be faced with a total credit market debt of $107 billion in 2012.
"Problems cannot be solved by the same rationale that created them." Albert Einstein
Therefore, we believe that financial repression will continue to crop up in many shapes and sizes and gain in importance over the coming years. However, the long- term costs of missing efforts made toward consolidating national finances will be substantial. While the artificially low bond yields in the short run suggest that the saving measures are on course, this has mainly been achieved by market interventions. Therefore we regard the gradual transfer of assets -- a rather euphemistic term for gradual expropriation -- as a disastrous strategy in the long run. None of the previous problems of misallocation is resolved, but instead redistribution takes place (in the beginning mostly invisibly) and problems are dragged out, having to be addressed later. As the dependence on these measures rises, so does the collateral damage to be expected later, and the seeds for an even bigger crisis have been sown.
A wrong diagnosis of causes leads to wrong solutions. The systemic problem is not low tax revenue but excessive spending. Additional tax hikes will never consolidate the public budgets in the long run. This can be achieved only by structural reforms in the spending department. According to Schlesinger, saving is tantamount to holding back on consumption in the present so as to be able to consume more in the future. The opposite is true for credit, where today's benefit is bought with tomorrow's shortcoming.
Therefore we expect interest rates to be kept low for an extensive period, with the Fed remaining expansive. This is one of the strongest arguments in favor of a continued low or indeed negative level of real interest rates and thus for a rising gold price.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am an 8th grader @ west and feel that it is a wonderful school, I would never switch to NJH the teachers love their jobs and there is minimal bullying. I love this school and its programs for gifted children and special education are spectacular.
I am an 8th grade student at West Junior High, and it is an exceptional school. I began taking classes at West in 6th grade, and all of the teachers and staff were very understanding about my conflicting Junior High and Elementary School schedules. West has great teachers who really care about their subjects and about the students. There are opportunities for everyone, and there is a strong sense of community. West is a truly outstanding school.
I am a student at HWJH and i am in 8th grade. The kids there are welcoming and if you hang out with the right people you can make A LOT of new friends. The school compared to the other Hopkins middle school, North Junior High, is choosen most offen to go to. North behavior wise doesn't have as good as a reputation. I really like it here and would recomend it to undecided parents and students.
I have a 7th grade child at HWJH. The experience has been wonderful. They have great programs, plenty of choices, and an unbelievable teaching staff that are very involved and active with the students. I have looked at other school districts in the area and picked Hopkins because of the academic success and the ethnic diversity it had to offer my children.

Is possible to become users online in the chat as soon as they log in in the website? I mean, the user needs to go to the chat page to be "online"?
And is possible to implement user status (busy, away, etc) and add the private windows in the module?
Thanks for helping.
I can get all users from the sessions table of Joomla, but if a user isn't in the module or component, he can't know that he has, for example, new messages. Kide is not created to send private messages, it's used to chat online.
The status... I think won't be implemented soon. About the private messages, the module alerts you when someone sends a message, so you can read it in component

Hello all!
I have been struggling with moderate face (mainly on my jaw line and cheek bone area), back, and chest acne since I was 14 years old. I have tried multiple topical treatments, as well as oral antibiotics for my acne. Initially, each product seemed to work great .... until it didn't anymore! My acne has been a problem on and off for the past 10 years, as I am now almost 24. A total struggle! Finally I found a provider who actually wanted to help me clear up my acne. And of course I love her, as she is a physician assistant like myself. We decided to go with Spiro, because we both felt that my acne was mainly hormonal. Initially I was on 25 mg 2x / day. I had no side effects at all. Bacne - GONE. You would never know I had an issue. Face and chest not so much. After 3 months I went for my f/u appointment and she increased me to 50mg 2x / day and we added Retin A Micro (I'm using the generic form which is just tretinoin gel). In 2 weeks I've seen MAJOR improvement in my face and chest. I currently have no active breakouts, just some left over hyper pigmentation (which I am eager to get rid of!) I only apply the Retin A at night to affected areas (if I put it all over my face it gets to dry). I also use St. Ives anti blemish exfoliating wash every night (I swear by it).
HOWEVER....ladies pay attention to what makeup you are using. Once I switched to MakeUP Forever (you can get their products at Sephora) I have also noticed a HUGE difference compared to drug store brands. It's worth the extra couple of bucks and it lasts longer! I also wash my makeup brushes every other week...and I apply foundation with CLEAN fingers only.
DRINK DRINK DRINK lots of WATER! Not only is it necessary while taking Spiro, but it is just good for your skin in general.
All in all, Spiro gets an A+++ in my book.
I'm a female and I was on Accutane 2 times, then Ortho Tri-Cyclen and then Spironolactone for my acne. I decided it was finally time to share my story. You can see pictures too. My share is a bit long, but I wanted to be comprehensive. All or nothing. I pasted it in the Acne.org blog:
3 months ago my doctor put me on a 50mg dosage.. to say the least it did not help with my acne at all it was all around my jaw line and forehead. about a month ago he bumped my dosage to 100mg a day (2 pills) and ever since then my acne got 100xs worse!! Its all over my cheeks and my neck. Does it get worse before it gets better? Should I wait it out? has this happened to anyone ? any info would be great
I experienced my first breakout at age 11, saw a dermatologist at age 12, and was prescribed spironolactone at age 15. (This was among all kinds of other topicals, and within the past couple years--I'm 19 now--a couple antibiotic courses). My original dermatologist prescribed spironolactone mainly to combat my extremely oily skin, which no doubt is a major contributing factor to my acne. It is still not "normal" oil-wise, but does not get noticeably oily after cleansing/applying makeup for 3-4ish hours now as compared to 45 min-1 hour before (yeah awful I know...my skin hates me. The oiliness almost made me more self-conscious than my moderate/sometimes severe acne).
However, my original dermatologist retired and I started seeing a new one, who told me the main reason spirono is usually prescribed is for hormonal acne. This was never a problem for me before, but since I was about 17 I began getting cysts on my chin around the time of ovulation as well as the start of my period--but the spirono takes them down in just about 2 days!!! When I have been taking spirono religiously (i.e. not missing a pill for a couple months) I might get 1-2 cysts a month if that--which I can deal with. However, if I forget to take it for 2-3 days, sure enough its a guarantee that I will get a cyst or two within the next few days.
The only side effects I have ever experienced have been occasional dizziness or light headedness when I stand too quickly. Since I have been taking spirono for so long, I do not remember if there was an initial breakout or not. Because it is potassium sparing and has other potential side effects, you should get blood work done once a year if you are taking it long term. I have never had any problems, although my derm recommends that I avoid eating like multiple bananas in one day--too much potassium on this drug is no good. If you are experiencing more than mild and occasional side effects/are afraid to start spirono due to potential side effects, just make sure you are on the proper dosage for your weight, as it is important to find the balance between effectiveness and how much of the drug your body can tolerate. I am 5'6'' and 120 lbs and take 50mg a day.
Bottom line--if you have hormonal acne or very oily skin--try spironolactone!!!!! When used correctly, it is super effective and should have very little side effects.
Ok so I have had acne since I was a teenager. I'm 23 now so it's been a long time. I went on birth control during high school which managed the problem for a while. When I was in college I went off birth control for about a year, and then started getting horrible cystic acne. They were large, painful cysts which usually came 3 at a time. For a while birth control and antibiotics did the trick. After switching birth control and going off antibiotics, the cystic acne came back. Going back on antibiotics didn't work this time, so I asked my dermatologist about Spiro.
Accutane has always been my last possible result so I wanted to try this first. This site was what motivated me to try Spiro and I will say that it has definitely worked for me! Like everyone has said, this med takes time to settle in so don't be discouraged if it hasn't been a miracle after 2 weeks. I'm on my 3rd/4th month and I've started to see big big results. I changed my dosage about 3 weeks ago which has helped too (I'm on 75mg vs 50) so that may be what some people need to do. My breakouts haven't disappeared (I'm superstitious so I feel if I rave about this I'll get some horrific breakout) but they are minor if they happen and are basically pimples rather than giant cysts.
Originally I was wary about trying this because of side effects but here's the deal---side effects may happen, they may not and they are different for everyone. If it doesn't work for you, stop taking it. My side effects were muscle aches and lack of appetite during the first few weeks. The muscle aches went away (keep exercising, this really helps) and I really have no complaints about the appetite part, I lost some weight which is always a perk. Some people on here have said they had hair loss, weird menstrual cycles, weight gain. Again, this is possible, but if you are really looking for a solution, Spiro is worth a try.
I've been on 50mg (25 in morning/evening) for about three weeks now. I am 22, and I went on accutane five years ago. My skin stayed clear up to this past March, in which I started experiencing bad cysts all along my neck/jawline/upper cheeks. This was new to me. I think it started because of a generic form of birth control I started (and a stressful time in my life), and I stopped taking the birth control immediately after the first month (acne only got worse). I am a healthy eater, and I exercise as regularly as I can. Due to my face condition, I rarely want to be seen in public however.
My dermatologist recommended spironolactone before trying accutane again. I am also using tazorac. To my horror, now along with my painful cysts, I am noticing tiny pimples forming on my chin and around my mouth and forehead/temple. My blackeheads on my nose are also worse. Is this normal? I would have thought my initial breakout would have ended coming up on the third week? Should I quit and start accutane?
I am so horrified and humiliated. I do not want to show my face in public. I don't know what to do, or if I should stay on this medication and try to be patient (even though it is worse than ever now). Please any advice would be helpful. I'm not sure if this is right for me...
And that doesn't make accutane better. Accutane is scary.
There is an initial breakout and perhaps spotting between periods. This stabilizes. It took a full six months before I saw the results I expected. Skin is doing great, no complaints. Only side effect now is a change in appetite. I used to crave very sweet foods and now prefer savory, brinish food.
I'm 26 years old and I began taking Spiro two weeks ago for hormonal acne that was annoying, but not horrible. I had very bad acne as a preteen and did one round of accurate and haven't had many issues since. Since being on Spiro, my chin is badly broken out! Like, very bad! I am feeling very distraught and unsure if I want to continue at this time. My boyfriend lives out of country and I haven't seen him in months! He will arrive here in 10 days. I don't want to be gross when he arrives and while we spend a month in Central America together. Any suggestions? Should I hold off on taking Spiro until I get back, or keep going? How long did it take for your "breakout period" to be over and done with? Please help!
Unfortunately this just didn't get rid of my painful cystic jawline bumps I was hoping for. I had to stop taking this after 2.5 months as it caused horrible cramping and threw my entire menstrual cycle off schedule (almost a month straight spot bleeding!).
My one year anniversary of being on Spironolactone is coming up in a few days and it inspired me to make an account here to share my success story with you all. I am 20 and have been suffering from painful cystic acne since I was 13. I started Spiro last May in 2013 on 50mg. For the first two weeks while my body was adjusting, I had to urinate more and I also felt dizzy at times, but these both wore off. As with most people here, my skin got worse for the first three months or so and it was awful but I kept reading reviews on here to keep positive. I increased my dosage to 100mg after three months, which caused me to break out even more. My skin then had its ups and downs over the next 6 months and it finally stabilized and became continuously clear at around 9 months. I still break out maybe once a month, but only a few small zits, nothing like before. It also significantly decreased the oil on my face and I didn't have to shave as much because my leg hair became thinner. This is a miracle drug! It gave me so much more confidence and just be patient when you first start it and give it a good 9 months or so to reach it's full effect! I promise, the beautiful clear skin you end up with will be so worth it!

I am retired and have been running W2k for many years. Recently built a new desktop system for which I licensed Win7-64 HP OEM. I don't like it, and, given an alternative, likely will run it little or none.
My new hardware does not support W2k, but it supports XP. To my knowledge, the only source (for me) for an XP license is Ebay. I am familiar with "full" and "OEM" versions, but some of the finer points of valid licensing I understand not.
Does anyone know what they are doing with XP licenses on Ebay? Some would be valid and some not? How to tell the difference? Several list COA and some prices look to be in line with XP retail prices about a year ago.
I have no desire to run software that is not properly licensed.

Teaching moments from the Winter Olympics by Hank Berkowitz
Teaching moments from the Winter Olympics by Hank Berkowitz
Like many of us, you probably can't tell the difference between a Double Lutz and a Triple Toe Loop. But, I'm sure you can tell the difference between a great team effort and a great team meltdown as the American men's and women's Olympic hockey teams demonstrated so painfully this weekend in Sochi, Russia.
Granted, both teams lost to superior opponents. But, the way they went down in defeat was UNACCEPTABLE. As men's team captain Zach Parise admitted: "We got outplayed. We didn't deserve to win. I'm kind of embarrassed where we're at now." Zach, so are we.
If you have young people working for you, or if you're the parent (or grandparent) of young athletes, please make sure they understand that "USA" stands for the United States of America—not "Uninspired Sports Association."
Lesson No. 1
Let's start with the women. With four minutes left in the gold medal game against Canada, they had a comfortable 2-0 lead which they worked very hard to earn. But, instead of staying focused till the final buzzer and running down the clock, they started thinking about how they'd look on the podium with gold medals around their necks and a worldwide audience watching them sing the Star Spangled Banner with tears in their eyes. A dumb penalty here, a bad bounce there. Next thing you know, the indefatigable Canadians tied up the game in regulation and scored again eight minutes into the overtime period to claim the top spot on the tear-filled medal podium.
Lesson: No matter how strong, skilled and experienced your competitors, when you have them on the ropes, you don't ever let up. Don't let them into your market when you've worked so hard to carve out your niche. Don't ever let them steal your best clients or employees, and don't ever think you've got the Big Market, Big Contract or Big Client locked up until the ink has truly dried on the contract.
Lesson No. 2
Now, on to the men. Unlike the women, the men's team is composed of highly paid NHL professionals. They lost a tense 1-0 semifinal game on Friday to the eventual champions, Canada. But, instead of showing some pride in the bronze medal game against Finland, they'd played like an amateur team that had already packed its gear and checked out of Sochi. Their uninspired 5-0 drubbing at the hands of the highly motivated Finns sent the U.S. hockey program home medal-less and back to the proverbial drawing board.
Lesson: You're never as good or as talented as you think you are and you never underestimate or disrespect your competition. You're not always going to land the Big Contract, Big Client or Big Speaking Gig that you worked so hard to get. But, when the next opportunity comes around, you can't waste time lamenting "the one that got away;" you have to be ready to land the next one.
Congrats to Finland and Canada (twice) for winning with class and for putting their big contracts and Stanley Cup aspirations on hold to represent their countries with pride. That's what the Olympics is all about.

Rugelach-crescent or rectangular in shape?
Hi Everyone,
I've been craving rugelach A LOT recently and plan on making it for the first time this holiday season. I've found different recipes for it over the internet and all of them are rolled into crescents. I've only had it where they've been cut into rectangles. Is there a reason for the difference? It maybe trivial but I would like to know the reason for this.
By cut into rectangles, what do you mean exactly? At the bakery I used to work at, they made them sort of like cinnamon rolls, except as if they were set on their sides.
It is easier to roll and cut the dough when it is in a rectangle than it is to a round. A round shape is more traditional.
I bought some at Whole Foods two weeks ago and they were like Katie Nell stated above, like cinnamon rolls on their sides, but in a smaller piece. I also had some at a bakery in Philadelphia about 5 years ago and they were in this shape as well. It's like the dough is rolled out flat, the filling is spread in it and then the dough is rolled up like a rouglage and then cut into small pieces and then baked.
re: gyp7318
You can do this with any rugelach recipe and it will bake the same. This is the recipe I used last year using the cinnamon roll method and it worked perfectly. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec... I don't know the reason for the difference though.
My mother would roll it in a long tubular shape and then cut it into pieces.
Possibly, the cut pieces resemble a "a rounded rectangle"
By rectangles I assume you mean little logs about one or one-and-a-half inches long? The reason you see commercial rugelach cut that way is that it's so much easier and less time consuming. You roll out the dough into an oblong or square, roll it up, and slice off individual rugelach. Rolling the dough into a circle and then dividing that circle into eight (or however many) triangles then rolling up each individual triangle takes a lot more effort and a lot more time. But it's the traditional way to do it. I make rugelach at least four times a year, in double batches to freeze half, and the triangle shape has become a far simpler procedure than it was at first.

1. following the instructions linked above, how can you obtain a copy of the .crx file to place in a network share?
2. a lot of extensions require you to sign in to add. will all students then be required to have a google account to use and/or the account used to download the extension, will that be associated with the app for the entire school? (e.g. if i use my personal google account will any of my personal info be saved in the extensions settings?)
- Go to the Chrome Web Store (in Chrome) and find the extension you want to download the CRX for. For the purposes of this example, I will be using the MixCloud extension.
- Copy the extension ID from the URL (highlighted in red below). This will be different for each extension.
- Open another web browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox are fine, as long as it's not Chrome/Chromium) and paste the URL below into the address bar. Before you press enter, replace the underscores (highlighted in purple) with the extension ID you copied above.
- Once you have replaced the text, press Enter and you will be prompted to download the CRX file.
* Credit goes to Wassim Guemri on the Chrome User Forums for finding this out.
Nice, i've not properly looked around the chrome apps before, tempted to roll this out to the languages department first and see if they like any of the language learning applications.
This is somewhat annoying, i can't get chrome to work properly on a student account :(
I can tell the policies are applying, but when i load it up the home page sits on "loading..." and attempting to load any other pages just times out as well. frustrating.
EDIT: I'm yet to work out exactly which one it is, but one of the policies stops chrome work working properly, still trying to narrow down which one it is though, very annoying!
EDIT2: It's the setting "allow running plugins that are outdated"
Thanks for the info, Arthur, I've got the apps i've wanted and working off my network. Unfortunately, I still can't quite get the chrome policies to implement. I've tried in both Computer and User config but neither apply. Something I've still got to work on, I reckon.
We are trying to get Google Chrome installed around the school, however we need to stop it from being able to look at the local drives (type c:/ into address bar and it displays the C drive, works for any mapped drive). Which policy do i need to alter?
Not a massive issue for me personally, they can't access other peoples user folders and can't run regedit or cmd prompt, leaves them little else they can do, and all the map drives students can see are ones they're allowed to anyway

Brooklyn-based collective Antibalas (Spanish for "bulletproof") is the proud musical descendant of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. The Nigerian-born singer/activist is known as Africa's Bob Marley and credited as the creator of Afrobeat, an amalgam of West African horn-heavy highlife, funk and jazz. Working within the framework established by Kuti and enhancing it with hip-hop, Latin jazz and other contemporary influences, Antibalas creates sweaty, funky jams with a decidedly political slant. The ensemble's fifteen members make their joyful joints on this year's Who Is This America?using dozens of percussion instruments, guitars, horns, keyboards and bass. Toastmaster and bari-sax player Martín Perna leads the orchestra through sprawling, extended, polyrhythmic grooves that cover a lot of musical ground -- from Baaba Maal to James Brown -- without ever losing the beat. Since 1998, Antibalas has established a reputation for exhilarating, steamy live shows, lighting up the party while touring close to 300 days a year.

PSC issues ruling on private jets
Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley proposed a rule that would prohibit corporate utilities from passing along private jet expense to consumers through rates.
"Corporate utilities should not be able to pass along costs of flying around on private jets to their customers," stated Presley.
"Mississippi customers shouldn't have to pay for lavish jet-setting by corporations. If they want luxurious jets to fly around in, their stockholders and profits should pay for it – not consumers."

Boston Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls Friday January 18, 2013 Keys to the Game

I'm happy to have made you happy. As for the rest of you, thanks for your patience. It appears that, wonder of computer wonders, I spent the last 30 minutes answering questions from April 9.
I'm happy to have made you happy. As for the rest of you, thanks for your patience. It appears that, wonder of computer wonders, I spent the last 30 minutes answering questions from April 9.
That's easy. I'd take the Forester. Subaru is a master of AWD technology. It's boxer-type engines work perfectly with its symmetrical all-wheel-drive systems.
The Big Money writer apparently is no fan of history--industrial, technical, or otherwise. Here's the deal:
. Porsche was the first to experiment with hybrid technology, circa 1918-1920. It abandoned the technology for lack of torque.
. All other car companies in the late 1990s were familiar with gas-electric technology. But nearly all--foreign and domestic--considered that an expensive interim technology and chose to go other routes--cleaner and more efficient hydrogen, equally efficient and more practical clean diesel, natural gas, et cetera.
. But Toyota's approach was smarter in terms of public relations. It hyped the heck out of hybrid tech. The mass media bit. U.S. politicians hopped on the hybrid bandwagon, doing things such as setting up hybrid highway lanes, thereby defeating the purpose/strength of early hybrids and clogging with single drivers lanes designed for car pools. Dumb.
. Perception is reality in the car business. And the perception was that Toyota, which proportionately sells as many gas-guzzling trucks as anyone else, had somehow become The Green Giant of Autodom. That was as much baloney as tales of Toyota's flawless quality. But it worked.
. So, in a bid to placate perception, as opposed to science, car companies worldwide began rolling out hybrids. Some--would you believe, Ford?--have eclipsed Toyota in that technology. Need proof? Check out the Ford Fusion Hybrid. All-electric (plug-in and extended range) have followed suit.
Bottom line: Hybrids are a reality. So is their downside--end-of-life battery treatment and disposal, using two drivetrains to do the work of one, unfortunate delay in the movement toward hydrogen, unfortunate ignorance of the use of clean diesel as a more sensible way to go, the illusion that clean tailpipes equals clean energy. I think there are a number of families in West Virginia who would disagree with that.
Frankly, I liked the six better. It felt tighter, more balanced. It made more sense in terms of usable power (power reasonably complicit with U.S. highway rules and design) and fuel economy. I suspect that Hyundai brought forthy the V-8 only because it heard that, well, that's would people do in the United States.
Yesss!! I'll do the 2011 Sonata review at the end of April. But, believe me, this one will pleasantly shock the heck out of you. Mid-size class-leading exterior and interior design. Wonderfully balanced handling. The non-turbo four is a gutsy thing. I haven't driven the turbo model. But at about 55 hp more, it certainly can't be any worse.
Here are my predictions for the new Sonata:
. It will eclipse, or come close to eclipsing Chevrolet Malibu sales.
. It will discernibly weaken sales of the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.
I know that's stepping out on a limb. But, having spent hundreds of highway miles with the 2011 Sonata, I'm willing to take that risk.
My wife and I own a 2001 model. We've had many offers for it. We're not selling. We love that car. Cargo space (with rear seats folded down) is more than adequate for most of the stuff we bring home from the store. We have the base 116 hp four. Doesn't sound like much. But the thing can move. Downside: Requires premium gas for best performance. Short wheel base can be troublesome (in terms of comfort) on bad roads. We've never been able to get the rattle out of our glass roof.
Nope. Don't like it at all. Instead, it reminds me so much of a Hyundai Tiburon, I would've preferred Hyndai to have brought this one back under the Tiburon name.
Hmm. I, too, love the Fit, particularly the Honda Fit Sport--for all of the reasons you cited. But, nowadays, I'm feeling a bit like the teenage lover who is tempted to cheat on his girl because he's met someone new. Her name is Fiesta--Ford Fiesta. Looks better, feels better, handles as well or better than the Fit. And she has a five-speed manual whose movements are so fluid it will make your arthritis smile. But, I love the Fit. Really, I love the Fit...really.
He should take a look at the 2011 Sonata. Compare quality, price, warranties. Otherwise, the only thing wrong with his top three is that they should be a top four, including the new Sonata.
There is no need to worry about the quality and reliability of the Sorento, which is made by a bunch of quality-fanatics in West Point, Ga. Those people are so proud of the work they do for Kia, some of them wear their assembly line uniforms home from the plant. I have no worries about the vehicles they produce.
Yessssss!!!!! Hey, BMW, we'd like to take a, hmmm, longer-range look at this one. Can we have it back? Please? Pretty please? True story. Last Sunday, we took the 335d out for "a short run." We returned 400 miles later. You've never felt a mid-size car with so much torque! Downside: BMW can option you into bankruptcy with this one. I mean, geez BMW, a car of this quality and price (base $43,950) should come standard with onboard navigation and automatically locking (at "drive") doors.
Warren, largely on your review, my wife and I bought a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox from a dealer in suburban Baltimore. We ordered the vehicle, waited the eight weeks and got a call from the sales lady saying the car had been shipped to Maryland and would arrive to the dealer in a few days. The next call we got was from the sales manager saying our vehicle had been "accidentally" sold. Is this possible? Wouldn't a dealer track a customer's order in a way that this could never happen? We are suspicious.
That dealer should be embarrassed. My hunch is that someone walked in while you were at home waiting and offered to pay more for your newly arrived Equinox. Rather than honor its commitent to you, the dealership, in the visage of a commission-hungry salesperson, took the money at hand. You sound like a nice person. The dealership took advantage of your niceness. That is shameful. It is wrong. It is the kind of reprehensible behavior that gives car dealers a bad name. I can assure you that there are other Chevrolet dealers who would not do such a thing. Contact me at email@example.com.
Not yet. On the list. Ria?
Actually, the Accord, particularly the latest iteration, has one of the best crash safety ratings in the U.S. market, if not the world. Want an even better rating? Get the Acura MDX with it's brilliantly engineered ACE body structure, designed for maximum transfer of crash energy away from the vehicle's occupants. If you want superior crash safety, stay with Honda.
Warren Interesting to see the rise of quality ratings for US vs. foreign makes. Our family has had mostly Fords, but also Honda and Nissan over the years. Our 2006 Ford Escape and current 2009 Mercury Mariner have been flawless performers, no complaints, no buyer remorse. Detroit iron really has matched anything from Germany or the Far East in design, build-quality, innovation, safety and value.
'Tis mostly true, despite too many unfortunate slips. But now, we all should see that, given Toyota's current spring of discontent, we all can make such mistakes. We're human.
That said, I ask you to forgive me for my silly error today (I didn't hit the "show" button) and checking in late. Like Toyota, GM, Ford and, maybe, Chrysler, I will do better. T%hanks for joining us this week. Please come back next week.
Thanks Sakina Rangwala, our glorious producer.
And where would any of us be without Ria Manglapus. Probably still waiting at Dulles Airport with undriven cars piling up in the driveways. Thanks for all you do, Ria. Eat lunch.
