Illustration by Diane Pierce
The fox sparrow feeds on the ground like a towhee. Pishing may bring the Fox into the open, but often it approaches cautiously from dense cover. Polytypic. Length 7" (18 cm).
Identification This large, chunky sparrow has a medium-length tail, a large head, and a thick-based bill. Its plumage is highly variable by subspecies. Generally, it is dark above, with pale underparts that are heavily marked by dark triangular spots, which coalesce to form a central breast spot. Most subspecies have a reddish rump and tail; reddish coloring in the wings.
Geographic Variation Fox sparrows comprise 4 fairly distinct subspecies groups that differ by consistent plumage traits, range, and voice. Some authorities consider these subspecies to be separate species. Identification to exact subspecies is rarely possible, given clinal variation, extreme similarity of certain subspecies, and the occurrence of intergrade populations. Key features of each group are overall upperparts coloration; color and extent of spotting below; presence of back streaking; bill size and color; and call note.
Similar Species The "red" fox sparrow is occasionally confused with the hermit thrush, but note the "red" fox's bill shape, streaked flanks, streaked back, and different behavior. The Lincoln's and song sparrows are both smaller, with thinner bills, sharper breast streaking and proportionately longer tails; and they are as likely to be found in grassy or weedy areas than in wooded thickets.
Voice Call: large-billed Pacific subspecies give a sharp chink call, like the California towhee's; others give a tschup note, similar to but louder than the Lincoln's sparrow's, and similar to but softer than the brown thrasher's. Flight note: high, rising seeep, given commonly on ground and in thickets. Song: sweet, melodic, warble composed of 7 or more phrases: for example, too-weet-wiew too-weet tuck-soo-weet-wiew. Sweeter in the northern reddish subspecies; includes harsher or buzzy trills in other subspecies.
Status and Distribution Common. Winters south to northwest Mexico; the "thick-billed" breeds in northern Baja California. Breeding: dense willow and alder thickets ("red"); montane willow and alder thickets ("slate-colored") or coastal forests and thickets ("sooty"); montane thickets and chaparral ("thick-billed"). Winter: undergrowth and dense thickets in coniferous or mixed woodlands, chaparral. Migration: fall migration late September–late November; Spring migration mid-February–late April. "Red" migrates several weeks earlier in the spring and later in the fall than western groups do.
Population Stable.

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- No jurors were selected on the first day of jury selection in the trial of James Wells, the man accused of killing a Schenectady teen.
Police say Wells shot and killed 15-year-old Eddie Stanley in June 2011. Police were called to 730 Bridge Street for a call of shots fired, and they say they found Stanley there with five gunshot wounds. He was taken to Ellis Hospital, where he later died.
Wells was arrested a month later and indicted last January.
Court papers show a fight broke out between the victim and the suspect. Police say that fight escalated and Wells pulled out the gun and shot Stanley. Wells is charged with second degree murder, weapons possession, endangering the welfare of a child and reckless endangerment.
"The jury is going to hear evidence that my guy made him part of a gang, that they're fairly notorious. The jury is going to hear evidence of prior gun possessions. The jury is going to hear evidence of drug dealing, it's going to be very tough. And yet we believe that the facts and the only issue that matters here which is whether or not it was he that committed the murder in that time and place," said defense attorney Cheryl Coleman.
It's unclear on how many jurors were interviewed on the first day. Jury selection is expected to go into next week. The trial, itself, is expected to take three to four weeks.

Statins may be prescribed if you have:
If you already have cardiovascular disease, your doctor may recommend statins to reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Some people may benefit from a statin even if they have no history of cardiovascular disease but are at high risk.
HMG-CoA reductase is an enzyme that helps your body make cholesterol. Statins help to block this enzyme, which in turn causes your body to make less cholesterol. When you make less cholesterol, your liver makes more LDL receptors, which attract LDL particles in the blood. This reduces the amount of LDL ("bad") cholesterol in your bloodstream. Lower LDL cholesterol levels also tend to lead to lower levels of triglycerides and higher HDL ("good") cholesterol levels in the blood. Statins have anti-inflammatory effects on blood vessels which help reduce the formation of fatty plaque on blood vessel walls.
Statins can interact with many medicines. Below are some examples. But, you should talk to your doctor and pharmacist about the specific medicines that you are taking.
Statins can interact with certain foods, herbs, and supplements. Here are examples of potential interactions:
If you would like to take herbs or supplements while taking a statin, check with your doctor first.
These conditions can affect how your body uses statins:
If you have any of the following conditions, tell your doctor before you are prescribed statins:
More common side effects include:

Allergic rhinitis is the set of symptoms that occurs when you breathe in substances you are allergic to. These substances are called allergens and are small proteins.
An allergic reaction occurs when your body's immune system overreacts to an allergen. When you breathe in an allergen, cells in your nasal passages release a chemical called histamine. Histamine causes your nose to feel itchy. Histamine also causes swelling and mucus production in the nasal passages.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Factors that increase your chance of developing allergic rhinitis include:
Allergic rhinitis can cause the following symptoms:
Your doctor will try to find out which allergens you are allergic to. You may be referred to an allergist or immunologist. This is a doctor who specializes in allergies.
Tests may include:
A tiny bit of an allergen is placed under the skin with a needle. The doctor watches to see if the skin in that area becomes red, raised, and itchy. This can be done for multiple allergens at the same time.
A small sample of blood is taken and tested for different allergens.
You breathe in air containing an allergen. The doctor will watch to see if you have an allergic reaction, such as wheezing or trouble breathing. This test is usually reserved for research settings.
The most effective way to treat allergies is to avoid the allergen. Since this can sometimes be difficult or impossible, other treatments are available.
Treatments may include:
Your doctor may advise:
With immunotherapy, small amounts of allergens are injected over weeks, months, or even years. The goal is to make your body's immune system less sensitive to those allergens. This treatment may be effective in reducing or eliminating the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Sublingual immunotherapy
may also be used. This type of treatment involves putting the allergic substances under the tongue, rather than using allergy shots.
The following strategies may help
prevent allergic rhinitis

Wrigley talks in 'bottom of the 9th,' deal could extend ballpark's walls
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com April 11, 2013 4:16PM
Wrigley Field is decked out for the Chicago Cubs home opener against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday April 8, 2013. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times

- Wrigley Field improvements great but what about the team?
Updated: May 13, 2013 6:38AM
Marathon talks to renovate Wrigley Field are "in the bottom of the 9th" inning, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday, amid word that the deal includes expanding the stadium's footprint to give the Cubs more interior space and minimize the impact on rooftop clubs.
"There's improvements that have to happen at Wrigley Field and there's things that Wrigleyville also needs. And I think we're . . . kind of in the bottom of the 9th in that process," the mayor said.
"We're closer than ever before. … I want to thank Mr. [Tom] Ricketts for his commitment to staying in Chicago. ... The broad outlines of a framework are there. We're just working on the details. We're making very good progress. I want the conversations to just finish now so we can take it to the second stage, which is a submission to the planning development process."
The mayor's optimistic outlook about a deal that appeared to be sealed a week ago comes amid word that the right- and left-field walls of 99-year-old Wrigley would be extended as much as ten feet outward — taking out the sidewalk on Sheffield and a lane of traffic on Waveland — to give the Cubs more concession space and mitigate the impact of a giant video scoreboard in left and a see-through sign in right on rooftop clubs overlooking Wrigley.
The Cubs plan also includes a proposed ornamental bridge across Clark Street that would allow guests staying at the hotel the Cubs plan to easily access a new office building expected to include conference rooms. Those air rights over Clark may trigger compensation to Chicago taxpayers.
In 2006, the Cubs agreed to extend the outfield walls eight feet onto the sidewalks along Waveland and Sheffield to eliminate the need for sidewalk columns to support a 1,790-seat bleacher expansion. Chicago taxpayers got $900,000 in compensation for the air rights. But, the city was left with a narrower sidewalk.
Now, the city and the Cubs are talking about an instant replay.
Both sides agreed that demolishing the outfield walls in right- and left-fields was part of the plan, but the motive depends on whom you talk to.
The Cubs insist the move was being made solely to preserve rooftop views and mitigate blockage caused by the two new signs that will help bankroll a $300 million renovation of the landmark ballpark.
"The plan would be to move the wall as far back as possible so the Jumbotron would have less impact on rooftop views. There's still some impact. But by moving it closer to the rooftops, their patrons would be able to look over the Jumbotron instead of having it block their views. Same with the sign in right," said a source close to the Cubs.
"It does open up opportunities for us inside the ballpark — by making the concourses wider and opening up additional concession space beneath the bleachers. But, this particular idea originated based on the desire to accommodate the rooftops, period."
City Hall had a different take.
"The Cubs came to us and said, 'We're landlocked. We need to get maximum use out of Wrigley Field.' This way, they can expand their footprint even though they're in a landlocked situation," said a top mayoral aide, who asked to remain anonymous.
"This is not being done for the rooftops. We're doing this to help the Cubs. But, there is an added benefit that will further reduce the impact on [rooftop] sight lines."
The top mayoral aide noted that similar street, sidewalk and alley "vacations" are routinely done for developers across the city.
"We're doing it for Loyola [on Kenmore to create more of a campus atmosphere near new dormitories]. We're also doing it for Norfolk Southern [RR]. It's pretty normal," the source said.
Until Thursday, the Cubs insisted that there had been no discussion of compensation for either the lane of traffic on Waveland or the sidewalk on Sheffield.
But the Emanuel administration insisted that compensation had not yet been determined and, according to the Cubs, demanded it Thursday after the Chicago Sun-Times asked how much the team would be charged for city land. Precise amounts were not yet known.
The issue of compensation is a sensitive one, given Ricketts' decision to abandon his quest for a public subsidy and the history of land around Wrigley.
Years ago, the Cubs paid the city $2.1 million to purchase land adjacent to Wrigley that was once a continuation of Seminary Avenue.
The Cubs had used the land for decades as a players parking lot. The arrangement continued until the Chicago Sun-Times reported that a search of century-old documents determined that Chicago taxpayers owned the land and that the Tribune Co. bought it for $150,000, shortly after purchasing the Cubs in 1982, from a railroad that didn't have the right to sell it.

text: 4 Entertaining but short.Fasira | 01/11/2010 | See all Fasira's reviews (2)I bought this after buying a 3D TV and looking for something that really showed off the 3D, I have been to the Grand Canyon a bunch of time and will always maintain that you cannot capture the sheer scale of the canyon, even in 3D its still missing the massive scale that is simply breath taking. The film is mainly about the river running through the canyon rather than the canyon itself (clue is in the title!!) but having said that there are still lots of shots of the canyon itself. My 2 criticisms would be that its quite short at 44 mins and the bonus features are not in 3D, that said its still absolutely stunning, the best 3D I have seen so far on my TV and the closest I think we will come to actually appreciating the true glory of The Grand Canyon without actually being there.

I did a version of my wedding couple clothespin (originally on Brooklyn Bride) for Chalkboard Mag, but this time I turned into...drumroll please....a magnet. *GASP*. I know, contain yourself.
Materials: oversize clothespin, acrylic paints, paintbrush, pencil, magnet strip, double sided tape or glue, scissors.
Step 1: Create the outfit outlines of the couple's clothing with your pencil. (I based her outfit off of Lauren Moffat's fall 2012 line)
Step 2: Paint in the outfits with your acrylics.
Step 3: Cut a strip of magnet and use double sided tape or glue to attach it to the clothespin.
I mostly wanted to find a way to find a practical use for this clothespin rather than just have it sitting on my bookshelf so I thought the fridge would be a much better place for it. Plus, you get a little peek into the chalkboard cupboard that I painted in our kitchen.
As always, photography by Hilda Grahnat

Deck the Music Hall
with Shakespeare's Midnight Madness:
at Dixon Gallery & Gardens
Inspired by both titles of William Shakespeare's popular, musical comedy, Tennessee Shakespeare Company (TSC), the Mid-South's professional classical theatre, continues its seventh season of plays with a turn-of-the-century musical hall production of Twelfth Night, or What You Will.
Coming off the company's record-breaking production of Richard III over Halloween,Twelfth Night will run December 11-21 in the Dixon's Winegardner Auditorium to celebrate all the seasonal holidays during our Winter Solstice.
The production is sponsored by Pat and Ernest Kelly.
Directed by TSC founder and producing artistic director Dan McCleary (Richard in Richard III), Twelfth Night features more than the usual cross-dressing, music, and songs in Shakespeare's play. The close-quartered Dixon space invites a celebratory party atmosphere reminiscent of the Moulin Rouge.

Richard III
the tragedy by William Shakespeare
directed by David Demke
and featuring Dan McCleary
GPAC/Duncan-Williams Performance Hall

at 7:00 pm
Sponsored by Ann and Wellford Tabor
"I shall despair. There is no creature loves me,
And if I die, no soul will pity me."
Only THREE special Halloween performances!
TSC's production of William Shakespeare's early Morality Play raises history from the dead to put the notorious King Richard III on trial before you and the spirit world.
Unearthed from a buried Friary just two years ago in Leicester, England, the painfully deformed 1485 skeleton of Richard now is brought to frightening life in a cadaver synod during which his murderous actions to the throne are reconsidered during the reverence of All Hallow's Eve. A soul still wandering between this life and the next, history's notorious "bottled spider" has much more he would like for you to consider before passing final judgment on his actions that gained him the throne but have haunted him ever since.
David Demke (A Midsummer Night's Dream) returns to TSC to direct the production with a stellar cast of eight actors, including the return of Caley Milliken, (TSC's Ariel, Marc Antony, Lady Capulet, and Peaseblossom), Paul Kiernan (TSC's Petruchio), Johnny Lee Davenport (TSC's Prospero, Oberon, and Othello), and Artistic Director Dan McCleary as the "bunch-back'd toad."
The creative team includes costumer Bruce Bui (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet), lighting designer Jeremy Fisher (Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Unto the Breach), and scenic designer Brian Ruggaber (University of Memphis, Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey).
Free Will Kids' Night is in effect for all performances: Children 17 years and younger will be admitted FREE when accompanied by a paying, attending guardian. Limit: four children per guardian. Seating is general admission.

"Okay, so let me start off by saying that the flavor of this takes a little getting used to. It's not your everyday toothpaste, so if you bite into this expecting a blast of peppermint, you're in for a shock! It definitely has an earthy flavor; the earl grey does come through a lot and has an almost rosy scent. As far as cleaning power...WOW! I've only used it twice and already my teeth are so much whiter! I've used whitening kits and these tabs did more in two days than those kits did in two weeks! I used them at night and I noticed that I don't really have much morning breath when I wake up. It just makes your mouth feel so clean. For me, the odd flavor is definitely not enough to put me off using this product. I'm going on vacation next week and I'm excited to bring these along! less"

5/06 in Yankee History
The red-letter day –
1911: The Yankees turn their first ever triple play, and top the Red Sox 6-3 in the process. The play happens in the 9th inning with Russ Ford on the mound, when Boston catcher Bill 'Rough' Carrigan lines into a game ending triple-killing.
Russ Ford
On other 6ths of May…
2001: At Camden Yards' the Yankees continue to beat up on the Orioles' winning 2-1' behind Mike Mussina. Scott Brosius hits a solo HR in the 8th to break a 1-1 tie. The Yanks tie an MLB record by starting the season 13-0 against below .500 teams' matching a mark set by the 1902 Pirates and the 1966 Indians.
2000: The Yanks defeat the Orioles 3-1' as Roger Clemens records
his 250th career victory. He is the 39th pitcher to reach the mark
1998: In a wild game' the Yankees (22-6) beat the Rangers' 15-13' after jumping out to a 9-0 lead with 2 in the 1st and 7 in the 2nd. But the Rangers came back with 7 in the 3rd. After the Yankees score 4 in the top of the 4th' the Rangers score 3 to cut the lead to 13-10' then tie it with 3 in the 6th. Jorge Posada's RBI single gives the Yankees the lead in the 8th. Derek Jeter has 4 hits' including a triple and homer' and 5 RBI' while Paul O'Neill contributes 3 hits' 2 runs' 2 RBI' a double and a HR. Juan Gonzalez has 3 hits' 5 RBI' 3 runs and a HR for the Rangers. The game is a turning point for David Wells. After Wells allows 7 runs on 7 hits in 2 2/3 innings' he receives a tongue lashing from Joe Torre which proves therapeutic.
1978: In a 9-5 loss to Texas' Yankee second baseman Willie Randolph pulls the hidden ball trick on the Rangers' Bump Wills in the first inning. In 1980' Randolph will have it pulled on him, and he joins orlando Cepeda as the only 2 players known to have pulled off the HBT, and to have pulled on them.
1964: The Yanks hit four home runs – two by Hector Lopez and one apiece by Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris – to back Jim Bouton's 9-2 win in the opener of a doubleheader with the Senators. Washington come back from a 4-0 deficit to win the nitecap' 5-4' despite a 3 -run Mantle homer off starter Claude Osteen.
1962: Mickey Mantle hits HRs right- and lefthanded for the 9th time' in the 2nd game of a doubleheader' as the Yankees win 8-0 over the Senators at the Stadium. His first homer follows a Roger Maris round-tripper. The shutout is Jim Bouton's first win the majors. In the opener' a 4-2 Nats win' Mantle accounts for both Yankee runs with a lefthanded blast.
1955: At Fenway' Mickey Mantle lines a first inning solo shot into the Yankee bullpen' and Bob Turley shuts out Boston the rest of the way for a 6-0 New York win. Frank Sullivan is the losing pitcher.
1930: The Yankees get Red Ruffing' loser of 47 games in the past 2 years and with a lifetime 39-96' from the Red Sox for $50'000 and Cedric Durst.
1922: Carl Mays allows 2 hits-both to Bing Miller-and faces just 29 batters as the Yankees beat the A's' 2-0. It is the submariner's 19th straight win over Philadelphia and his 2nd in 2 weeks.
1914: Babe Ruth hits his first Major League home run, off the Yankees' Jack Warhop in the
3rd inning at the Polo Grounds. Ruth has two other hits but loses the
game in the 13th' 4-3' as the Red Sox make 4 errors behind him. Cy Pieh is the winner.

Intel's Ambitions Are Absolutely Absurd
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's an arrogance at Intel (INTC) that will kill the company. Ignore this rally out of the teens. Things will not end well for Intel.
Earlier Wednesday, in Why Won't Intel Just Tell the World It Doesn't Suck?, I took the bigger picture view.
Here's a company that cloaks itself in secrecy, allowing the media to run with leaks.
First, Intel was all set to unveil its cable television-disrupting set-top box at next week's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Then, before we could properly scoff at this old rumor becoming a living, breathing idea, we hear that Intel has hit a snag. It seems the old-guard media content providers aren't cooperating. Shocker!.The way Intel handles itself from a public/investor/media relations standpoint stinks. I get into why in the above-linked article. It's not about whether they give me a scoop or even salient information. It's about the larger, more important issue of how investors consume information about companies, particularly underperforming ones like Intel. During times of uncertainty and transition, Intel should be opening the lines of communication with investors and the media, not closing them. When a hack like me says that Intel needs to hire a CEO who doesn't know anything about silicon, don't get all defensive. Go public and say that's just what we did with Intel Media, and we're thinking along similar, though maybe not the exact same lines for the larger company. But this is not surprising. The way Intel handles itself is borne out of an arrogance hardly trademarked by Intel. It's the fortress, you'll get what we give you, pesky little shareholder, when we want to give it to you and you'll like it mentality that too many companies, big and small, exhibit. Apple (AAPL), under Steve Jobs, stands as one of the few that has license to treat stockholders with such disregard. It's this same arrogance, however, that makes Intel think it has a chance to do anything but fail or produce minuscule impacts in the living room. Reed Hastings at Netflix (NFLX) must be laughing his Qwikster off at Intel. And when Hastings laughs at you, you know things are really bad. I'm sure that a considerably more credible media leader -- Jeff Bewkes at Time Warner (TWX) -- is laughing even harder.

2012 Focus
Posted by
FERNDALE, MICHIGAN -- I bought a 2012 Focus SE in August 2012. Lousy mileage, poor transmission. We traded in a 2008 Civic w/80,000 miles. Focus quality doesn't even come close to the Civic. The mileage with the focus is 26/28 at best and is driven very conservatively on freeway's and mileage really stinks. I have an 2002 Intrepid that gets as good or better mileage. Very sorry we got rid of the Civic. After first of the year we will be trading in the Focus on a Dodge Dart. Ford has mass produced the Focus to be a "throw-away" vehicle. Trade-in for this 2012 Focus is 9k to 11k with only 7,600 miles on it. How very pathetic, Ford, shame on you. Shades of the Escort and Pinto have returned in the Focus!!! Never another Ford product, EVER! Wish we could start a product reimbursement claim from Focus owners who are as dissatisfied as we are.

I have a 2012 Focus SE and I love it. It commonly gets 28-32 mpg city which is great for a non-hybrid. We drove it to Myrtle Beach and it got between 38-40mpg highway. The transmission is a new type for the USA. It has no torque converter. It uses a manual clutch in an automatic mode. It's actually really fun to drive once you get used to it. And in "Sport" mode you can control the transmission with buttons on the shifter to act like a manual. Sorry you didn't like yours but this car is the best vehicle I have ever owned and that is coming from the son of a Master Technician for Toyota.
Bill on 12/20/2012:
I think I would steer clear of the Dodge Dart also.
You had a good car 08 Honda with 80k, hardly broken in. Why did you get rid of it?
That Honda would easily run to 150k with minimal problems.
ok4now on 12/20/2012:
The Focus is an entry level vehicle sold at a very modest price point. It's basic transportation with no frills. Don't expect more than it is. Many rental companies use this vehicle because it is cheap and reliable. When my car was in the body shop I drove a Focus for two weeks and liked it. It was fun to drive, good on gas and easy to park. I would consider it for a 2nd vehicle not my primary.

Issue With Steering On 2012 Ford Focus
Posted by
Bought 2012 Ford Focus (LS) 5 door hatchback in Ohio on June 2, 2011. Steering seems to stiffen up after driving several miles. Is more likely to do so on straight road. Highway trips are a real chore. Takes much pressure to turn wheel as if it is stuck or binding. When it does move, results are (over correction), and back we go the other way. Have had it back to seller twice (100mi. away), and to local dealer twice.
Problem is intermittent, and HAS NOT SHOWN UP WHEN AT DEALERSHIP. Would appreciate feed-back, or suggestions as how to deal with problem. Anyone else with this problem? Today's date=7/5/2011.

I don't know anything about it, but evidently the Focus now has electric power steering, not hydraulic. Hopefully there is no software involved.
onlooker on 07/06/2011:
document each and every event. Date, time, mileage, speed, temp etc. Have someone witness it - or even better ask other drivers to drive until/as it happens again - an event that can be recreated will help 'prove' the problem. Go to the local dealer, State AG Office, DOT and Ford Motor company headquarters.
fanddp on 07/06/2011:
I have the same problem.My dealer really tried to help.The answer from ford to the service tech as follows
((intermittent fault probable rack issue,parts unavailable at this time due to quality issue at vendor))
I spoke to Ford customer relations today to try to resolve issue.I will get a call from Ford in the next two days.Good luck

Ford corporate returned my call.A new rack assembly is on order and I received a case #.If you want more info,get back on line.
Wondering What To Do? on 07/09/2011:
I bought a 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback in Minnesota June 29, 2011. The test drive was great (only 3 to 4 miles). When driving the car home (which is about 60 miles from the dealer), after 25 miles or so, the steering seemed to stiffen up and I found myself kind of zig-zaging within the lane (new cement freeway less than one year old). Thought maybe I was not used to the new car, or maybe it was the road? Since then, I paid close attention to the steering. I don't know what causes the steering to stiffen and free up at times. For now it seems to happen only at crusing speed (60-65) after some distance...and the distance seems to vary. So I decided after several hundred miles it wasn't the road or my ability to drive, it was the steering in the car that was the problem. I brought the car back to the dealer to be fixed and they said it drove fine. I asked them how far they drove it, and they said less than 10 miles. I asked them if they would drive it 20 to 30 miles on the freeway. They did, and found the car to be doing what I said it was doing with the steering getting stiff and then free. But they said nothing could be done about it. I am wondering how the car is going to act on ice this winter driving down the freeway.

2012 Ford Focus, same problem with the steering. Just fought it for 5 hours of highway driving.
Steering get so tight when you tried to correct for lane drift it over corrects. More to come just beat from driving it.
joe on 03/14/2014:
We just bought a 2014 Focus , same issues tight steering at higher speeds you tend to over correct and wander side to side in your lane. This steering sucks and I filed a complaint with NTSB . Of course the dealer can't find a problem it's obviously a design defect .

Ford Focus Poorly Designed
Posted by
TEMPERANCE, MICHIGAN -- I do not know where to start I have never owned a car that eats tires and rattles knocks like this car does I will never own another Ford I don't know how they get all the press about their cars having any quality this one is a bucket of bolts that is rattling apart. I traded a Dodge Ram in on this and with the exception of gas millage was a step down to say the least. This car is an nightmare. Can someone from Ford please comment on this poorly designed car.

I agree - the chances someone from Ford will come here and opine on the deficiencies of the Focus are probably about 1 in 1000.
Ford has seemed to have earned an improved reputation recently - maybe you got a lemon.
Has the dealer given you any feedback/insight on your specific complaints?

Its a sad time
Posted by
I know what you all mean in a time when the economy is in bad shape it seems like the quality and workmanship on any thing has been reduced to very poor
it seems like to me that these companys have either laid off or let go all the good workers and kept the people that have a high seniority
these people know how to dictate out the work but don't know how to do it so the products that you are buying now are either going to break or fall apart
seems like just yesterday the government was bailing out Chrysler ford and Chevy
now dealerships are being shut down
if you have bought a used car most likely there was a problem with it its always buyer beware and what about the cars that were damaged in the hurricane were are all of those
I have not trusted a dealership to work on my stuff ever there labor rate is way to high and I have found a guy that is independent that will do a fantastic job you just have to hunt around
and his labor rate is less than half of a dealer there are many independent shops that can do the repairs always get a written est and request to see the old parts

Actually, Ford did not take any bailout $$$ from the Gov't.
Have you had any problems with your Focus? What basis do you have to say the products will fall apart?
Or are you just upset about the way big companies run? Companies are there to make a profit, layoffs are unfortunate, but a part of business/life.
Your review reads like that a disgruntled former employee who got laid off. Not Helpful.

So... what exactly is wrong with your car?
JR in Orlando on 10/23/2009:
eh??? Wasn't the 2002 Ford Focus made in or about 2002? How do current events affect the production of a vehicle 7 years ago?
Dealer mechanics almost always have been, and always will be more expensive than an independent mechanic. Just like a name brand is almost always more expensive than an off brand. And the point is?
Critical_level2 on 10/24/2009:
I would disagree with bad workmanship on new vehicles. Ford is ranked #2 in quality right behind Honda. They beat out Toyota earlier this year.
Gm is revamping their vehicles, so it is a bit early to tell what will happen with their quality. They may come back to the top 3 like Ford has done. Chrysler is a money sink hole. Daimler let them go due to losing money on them. Fiat is thinking of doing the same.
My wife ran her little Focus to well over 100K without any issues, with the exception of normal stuff like brakes, tires, etc.
nibbler on 10/24/2009:
OK the point is seems like a lot of things are failing like parts for cars t.vs I think you get the point
was talking to a mechanic and had been told that a lot of parts have been failing maybe I THINK that companys have scaled back the guys that were their best workers and kept the ones THAT DON'T KNOW S*** and no I am employed run my own business I would never never work for anyone again screwed to many times fact of life 2002 ford focus 42 thousand miles and engine failed would not warranty and if you THINK that ford didn't take anything think again
nibbler on 10/24/2009:
not just the dealers or auto manufacturs but part supliers
I need phones seems like their not making them like they used to and the ones I get I have to warranty and replace
products that I used to get are taking like 2 weeks or longer to get and that helps my business

Ford Doesn't Stand Behind Warranties
Posted by
Happy :)
GRAND JCT, COLORADO -- Last week we took our 2003 Ford Focus down to Ford. It was down there for 2 days and they couldn't find what was wrong with it. Then they did and they said it was probably the transmission. They will not fix it at all and its still under factory warranty. Why buy a extended warranty when the first warranty doesn't ever going to exist.
If its still under warranty, why wouldn't they fix it.
Don't buy a Ford!!!!!!!!!! Let them go out of business too. Faulty Fords.....

What a piece of crap it is...
Posted by
Here's another problem I've come across in my Focus:
When I put the key in ignition, it does not turn at all. Last night I'd spent ~1 hour trying to resolve this, but all in vain.
I've come across hundreds of complaints from several people experiencing the same problem with their Focus. Today, when I'd called the Ford service dept., they acted as if they do not know anything about this problem, but that they'd have to drill & replace the ignition cylinder (cost $300+); and because it's a delicate operation, if some other part gets damaged I'd end up paying much more.
Given that it's a widespread problem, I'm surprised that Ford has not issued a recall for this...
Other than this, I've had numerous problems with this vehicle, e.g., engine stall problem, scratching noise when I press on the gas padel.
There have been several recalls in the last 2 years.
This is my first Ford vehicle, and hopefully it'd be the last one.

I had the same problem with mine. Stuck the key in and couldn't turn it. I was ready to call to have it towed in. My neighbor came out and all he did was put both hands on the steering wheel and gave it a quick jerk to the right then left (in the motion of turning a quick right then left) and the key turned and I never had another problem with it and it has been about 6 months.
DebtorBasher on 04/29/2004:

commentator on 07/31/2004:
Same problem you had and it is nasty to be sitting in the hot sun to get a key out of an ignition. It's defective on all the Focus from what I hear.
Frdtek04 on 10/23/2004:
The ignition lock cylinder is a continuing problem on 00- 13 Focus. If you have this problem, it can be fixed by replacing the ignition lock cylinder and in most cases the original keys, which if under warranty will be free. If you are out of warranty, you'll most likely be replacing the cylinder and 2 PATS keys out of pocket. Don't blame the dealer, they can only do for free what Ford Corp is willing to pay for.
anya08 on 08/24/2006:
Had the same problem with my dear hubby's focus. Took a can of dust-off out to the car and used it in the ignition cylinder and then put a few drops of WD40 in which seemed to help alleviate the problem.
The Focus is the worst car I've ever encountered. I had fewer troubles with my 95 GMC Jimmy than my husband's had with this piece of junk. We've both sworn off Ford products.

Key won't work
Posted by
REDDING, CALIFORNIA -- I jumped into my 2003 Ford Focus this morning to go to work and low and behold! The key wouldn't turn. I tried all the tricks and ended up with having my car towed to FORD and $400 later it's fixed. At least it was the same day, but they guy had the nerve to tell me "Yep. We get at least two of those a month."
Why isn't Ford fixing a known problem?

Just because a service advisor at 1 dealership says this does necessarily mean it is a "known problem." I understand it stinks to have to shell out $400, but your car is 4 years old...parts do wear out, especially something that gets used a couple times a day.
GWbiker on 10/24/2007:
I NEVER replaced an ignition switch in a German automobile or a German motorcycle and one motorcycle was at least 30 years old. Oh wait....I'm talking about a vastly superior German product. OP was ranting about an American piece of schitte! My bad!
Aerocave on 10/25/2007:
German cars reliability? Have you checked lately where VW falls in these rankings? I guess you think a trade off is replacing transmissions.
FoggyOne on 10/25/2007:
Take a look at Consumer Reports ratings of Mercedes. You have to be rich to drive one and pay for the mechanics. Terrible repair record.
I've never replaced an ignition switch in any car and I've owned cars for over 43 years.
Hugh_Jorgen on 10/25/2007:
Let me guess, you have a keyring that weighs somewhere around two pounds....it has a bunch of keys on it, some cute little animal figuines, a couple of tags with your name on it, some little jewel encrusted thingies and a can of mace, right? That's why your ignition switch wore out early. Get rid of the excess weight on the keyring and you will never wear out another ignition switch.

Aerocave and all. VW cars are now assembled in Mexico. Engines are made in Poland. Transmissions are made in Brazil. It's no longer a "Made in Germany" car in many years. The current Mercedes Benz automobiles are a far cry in quality from the 115 or 123 series Mercedes Benz DIESEL powered cars I owned for nearly 25 years. FWTW, I've worked on a few Ford Focus cars -- you couldn't give me a Ford!

Her career got its first boost with the help of an unlikely ally Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev. But it was as the unofficial in-house reporter of the Kennedy Presidency that she earned her place in journalism history.
Helen Thomas has spent most of her professional life in the seat of power, reporting on the White House and the presidency from her front-row viewpoint. But the legendary journalist had to win many battles to get to where she is today.
BIOGRAPHY® follows Thomas from her Kentucky childhood to Washington's corridors of power through extensive interviews with Sam Donaldson, Judy Woodruff, George Stephanopoulos, Pierre Salinger and Helen herself. See how she put in 12 years on the United Press rewrite desk before her protest against the National Press Club for not admitting women made her a national figure. Helen recalls how her special relationship with the Kennedy family developed on the campaign trail and paid off when JFK asked her to end his press conferences with "Thank you, Mr. President." Seven administrations later, she is still going strong, respected by her colleagues and the men she covers alike.
From cutting her teeth in a profession that, literally, did not want women in the club to a privileged position at the top of the heap, this is the story of the "first lady of the press."

The winter holidays are upon us and your days are no doubt filled with peace, love and a calm sense of wonderment that the world is just slowly moving by.A question floats across your awareness: "How did the world get so quiet and content?" Yeah, right. It is also just as unlikely that you have decided to begin a month-long cleanse, eating no sugar, caffeine or alcohol as you meditate serenely for two hours a day.Like most of us, your diet has probably looked more like holiday cheese balls, sugar bombs, caffeinated mochas, or brandy-spiked eggnogs. And so your digestive tract takes a toll, and the inherent microflora that would normally stay in delicate balance, instead has a party. As part of the chaos, a normally well-behaved yeast species in your digestive tract known as Candida albicans, is instead is invited to wreak havoc.You may get a strong urge to "ditch the itch," seeking relief for the dry and itchy skin that Candida can cause. When this itch involves intimate areas, this problem, also known as a yeast infection, is often the same Candida. To complicate matters further for women, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has established a direct correlation between overgrowth of Candida in the digestive tract, and simultaneous vaginal yeast infections. And since yeast is a fungus, conventional treatment involves the use of antifungal medication such as fluconazole, which may increase the risk of severe side effects such as liver toxicity. Another antifungal, Amphotericin B, has also been reported to increase urinary excretion of magnesium. Would you risk potentially dangerous side effects if you knew safe, natural, and well-researched options were available to clear a Candida overgrowth from all parts of your system? In this article, we will address that "gut feeling" that we all have about Candida.THE NATURAL WAYA natural approach to Candida-balancing begins by restoring the population to a normal level without the use of risky pharmaceuticals. The infection must be treated in all areas that the Candida has colonized - skin, intimate areas, sinuses, ears, mouth and gut.In the 98 consecutive cases examined in the above study, they found that yeast overgrowth was not restricted to the vagina alone, but also found in the digestive tract. In addition, if Candida was found in the vagina it was always found in the stool and vice versa. The investigators concluded that, "...a 'cure' is not likely as long as the vagina remains the only treatment target."So, it may be prudent for women who have a vaginal yeast problem to give serious consideration to treating the possible "intestinal reservoir." An overgrowth of yeast in the digestive tract can eventually result in yeast actually "translocating," or crossing the intestinal barrier and entering the bloodstream. Although physicians had previously believed this only happened in severely immuno-compromised patients (for example HIV and AIDS patients), recent studies have cast doubt on this theory, and suggest that translocation can take place in healthy animals and humans.Before we go further, I have one disclaimer for you. I used to work for a New Zealand herbal company called Forest Herbs, Ltd, even living in New Zealand where I had my first naturopathic practice. I no longer am employed by them and no longer receive a dime, so I share information about one particular product of theirs, simply because it works. There are many Candida products out there on the market, so feel free to find you own, or follow the recommendations of your natural health care practitioner.In the rain forests of New Zealand, a small, shrubby bush known as Horopito grows where fungus eats a freshly-planted orange tree within two weeks. The same properties that allow it to survive in such a moist climate, give it its antifungal properties.Kolorex is a product containing the native Horopito that has demonstrated the same ability to eliminate Candida as Amphotericin B, but without the liver-toxic side effects. It also spares intestinal microflora, the "good gut bugs." There are products available for general skin areas, foot fungus, those sensitive areas, thrush of the mouth and throat, and for the intestinal reservoir. Of course, an antifungal isn't going to do you a lick of good if you don't end the party. In other words, you've got to clean up what you're eating and address any other contributing factors, such as chemical or heavy metal burdens in the body, both which will predispose someone to Candida because of the immune-suppression. As part of a whole-body Candida plan, antifungals can help to restore proper balance in your system and get you back to vibrant health. But since timing is everything, you might just want to moderate yourself for the rest of the 2012. My advice? Enjoy the holidays, and plan for a good renewal process next year.Dr. Christopher Lepisto graduated as a naturopathic doctor (ND) from Bastyr University in Seattle, Wash. He is a native of Grand Junction and opened his practice here in 2004. Previously, Lepisto lived and worked in New Zealand, where he developed a special interest in indigenous herbal medicines.

I mean, this is not the first time I've done this to my knuckles, nor will it be the last. It is a typical occurrence during sparring training, especially when it had been as long as it has been since I had trained.
Will I tape a picture of myself to my punching bag again? Probably no. Will I punch it again? Well, it's called a punching bag for a reason.
