The window tinting debate
Equipment and On Road Behaviour, Laws and Rules. Cycling Promotion and Advocacy
Re: The window tinting debate
if you want to know what a driver is doing, looking at them is pointless. first, ride outside the door zone, no if/buts/maybes about that, not negotiable. second, if you want to look at something, look at the front wheel, first its pointing where the car will go, if it is moving, then you can decide what you are going to do based on some very valuable information. this applies whether riding a bike, motorbike, driving a car, walking, whatever.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: The window tinting debate
The following website is quite interesting, one thing I noticed near the end is a recommendation to cyclists to observe drivers' body language.
Re: The window tinting debate
Some tips.
1. Veer slightly to the right as you approach a sidestreet - this makes you look to be going faster from the driver's perspective.
2. Cover the brakes with your hands.
3. Do not ease pedalling or coast at all - your continued pedal action is a de facto signal to the driver that you are proceeding; to coast suggests you are braking.
Looking for eye contact is a fairly dubious technique IMHO. Even if the windows are not tinted, the reflections off a closed window often preclude a good eye contact until it's too late, and some drivers will look at you and still go through.
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: The window tinting debate
Each to their own really, but I disagree with a few things said here.
I whole heartedly disagree here. When the road is clear apart from me and I don't see a driver make eye contact I will not proceed assuming the car has seen me. This has saved me SEVERAL TIMES from an collision one time the incident resulted in my riding partner colliding with the car as she did not brake while I did (I did let her know).
The fact that this has directly saved me from significant injury suggests it is not pointless.
I don't do this unless I'm already going slowly. Generally if I'm concerned I will raise myself in the saddle to make myself more visible and stare intently at the driver I find this causes them to pause. It also puts me in a better position for evasive action and emergency braking. The last position I want to be in is sitting and still pedalling as reduces your ability for quick manoeuvring of the bike.
Re: The window tinting debate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqRvqw4Y ... re=related
Standing is only helpful when the surface is broken imo - for a smooth surface it doesn't help at all. Counter steering doesn't care whether you are standing, and may in fact not work as well.
Dodging is only really a useful strategy for out-of-nowhere events like a 'roo jumping on the road or for another vehicle that has fully lost control. For a formal intersection (ie a marked conflict zone), anything other than covering the brakes and being prepared to stop is poor practice at best. Soft pedaling is a useful reminder for some road users but imo simply being wide and away from the "I'm making a left turn spot", is the most effective body language thing you can do.
Re: The window tinting debate
Simply untrue for quick maneuverability. Comparing it to a motor cycle is not at all valid as they are significantly heavier. Bicycles a light and can be thrown around much easier than a motorcycle, counter steering doesn't play nearly as an important role. Sure for planned turns I would always stay seated such as for tight mountain turns. However if the situation may call for sudden movements then standing is better.
Again simply absurd. In some emergencies braking may not stop you in time whereas a swerve away may lead to no collision. Though I would agree that the vast majority of the time braking is the best option. I cover the brakes almost at all intersections so I didn't feel the need to comment on that obvious precaution.
Also what I didn't mention is that if I'm in a collision (which thankfully I've never have), I'd much rather be standing. I've had several falls off my bike including one OTB where I've landed on my feet uninjured. That is much easier to do if you are already standing.
Re: The window tinting debate
Wow. It amazes me that any sane person would suggest that observing useful info is a bad idea. Seeing a driver's head pointed at me does not mean he's seen me, but observing the same driver talking to passenger, texting, watching for a gap in oncoming traffic etc is an big indicator they have NOT seen me. This is valuable info, and I feel denying that is crazy. I have tint on my car, as I bought it 2nd hand with tint already on, but my wife's car has none, and I find the temperature difference negligible (hot day = hot car, tint or not).
Re: The window tinting debate
If you stand up - you increase the distance your mass has to go through to effect a lean - which then reduces the speed at which you gain lean (which affects the speed that you gain rate of turn). For the axis that you need to pivot on to lean, you increase the polar moment by standing up - which is one reason why trackstands are easier standing.
If you lean outside of the bike yourself, the bike pivots on the bottom of the tires, and leans the other way (and further than you go because its lighter - such is newtons third law - its not actually helpful). its not until you counter steer the bottoms of the front tire out from under the CoG that the bike will do much in the way of leaning in a useful direction. ie there is no advantage to standing up in terms of causing the bike to turn by trying to hang off it from a standing position, in fact it turns more slowly.
This is the kind of circumstance that causes me to dodge, and to be honest, its only ever vehicles from behind that cause me to dodge.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24dgLRAL ... re=youtu.b
The truck from behind qualifies as out of ****ing control.
For urban intersections I'd rather simply keep control of my entrance to the conflicting course zone, so that I don't need to dodge, and by and large that is a very successful strategy that has lead to years of not having accidents, particularly with people who are crossing my course (and thus who have the ability to hurt a lot). The very last time I dodged an intersection event (this was long time ago mind you), I got stuck on the kerb seam and my bar hit a signpost. In the 1 second between dodging and thinking this was maybe not the best idea I'd gone 8 metres, had no idea about surface and effectively lost control. I could honestly have chosen to brake 5 seconds before all that.
I'm clipped in, if I've got enough time to unclip, then I had enough time to brake.
Re: The window tinting debate
I can't adequately argue with that. Your analysis makes senses. (In fact I had already pondered about that same stuff.)
My real world experience suggests differently though so I might get on the bike an have a play. But for now, I'd give win on the debate to you.
Having been for a short ride this morning. I admit that I am wrong. I still will be standing in areas of increased conflict but quicker turns isn't a good reason.
I do agree that intending dodge is generally not the best strategy. In fact I can't remember ever having to take such significant evasive action on the bike.
It's not about unclipping it simply a better position to be in should the worst happen. As said numerous times slowing is normally the best defence against incidents. Either way standing has certainly worked for me. It gets me noticed. I've NEVER had any incidents so I believe I am doing something right.
Re: The window tinting debate
Sorry its taken so long but here it is. The sun was not out when I took this.
Re: The window tinting debate
I recently bought a new car and the dealer offered T35 film tinting on it. I declined - will probably add a clear UV/heat only film sometime. What is interesting is that the car comes with factory fitted glass that has a built in tint - making it T72 or so out of the factory.
Applying T35 to that actually reduces total transmission to about 25%. To get a legal tint on cars with tinted glass (which seems to be most cars these days) you can only apply a T50 film, which you can get but is hard to find.
What amazed me was a major car dealer didn't believe me when I mentioned that T35 tint film was too much for the car to stay legal and insisted that the law allowed a T35 tint to be applied.
Clearly no understanding of the physics involved. From my recent shopping it is clear that there are very few cars sold with no tinting and 100% light transmittance. And yet nearly all tint films available and used are T35.
I wonder how many cars on the road are actually over tinted and how often this is actually picked up?
Re: The window tinting debate
cops have measuring tools but obviously they're not standard issue that get hooked up to their belt.
you're absolutely correct about the compounding effect of tinting. does it surprise you car dealers don't know (or don't want to know)?

Re: The window tinting debate
Mclaren P1 has a very low ride height in stock standard form. It may be even lower than a V8 supercar (and it is certainly much faster). It goes down to 50mm from various ride heights that are higher than that in its various driving modes.
Ferrari 430 Scuderia is also low. It is legal here.
One annoying thing with tinting is you can never see if the driver has seen you. You can also talk on the phone while driving being seen easily. It's a problem with "Protection" and "Guard" versions of common German cars that you can now commonly see in Sydney.
Re: The window tinting debate
Thanks for posting that link to the Institute of transportation engineers Australia & New Zealand section inc. Paper.
I was contacted however don't really know what to do with - sure it is a topic but there are other topics that are of more significance with regard to cyclists.

first let me say...for ME this is not an issue i mind talking about in public but if for YOU it is please feel free to pm me.
so i have a few bumps that last forever but are small...my biggest issue is the flushing. i use to have the sun kissed look which wasn't bad...but now it is severe like a major sunburn!!!!!!!!!!
i'm going shopping for something this weekend but not sure what works as NOTHING i have found so far does for covering or preventing.
i do NOT wear makeup often and would wear even less if i didn't have to cover the redness. i have tried everything from stores like Walgreen's to good ol clinique. i bought the whole clinique redness line about a year ago. it covers about 75% at FIRST. then within about an hour its useless and it ages me by making wrinkles and pores stand out. (NOT CHEAP)
i'm really looking for a good moisturizer and primer as those should do the most good but would also like some makeup for when i go out and stuff.
anyone who has some tips i'd love to hear from you

If it comes down to it, in say...two weeks, I'll split them up...I guess.
Three days left . . .
Hey Mike , would you go 2 and 2 on the set?
They belong together. But if you are splitting them up i'm game.
Chewie's the man.
I'm glad I didn't let you savages split these up, this might be my best knife purchase ever.
I was really surprised how substantial these are, a lot more knife than I was expecting.
Also, gotta love how Butch always gives you a handle that will fill your palm.

Just kidding - I'm happy for you . . . . no really.
Johnny, thanks for writing that post. On the next batch...well, ya know...if I talk Butch into making them, I'll add a picture with something to compare it to. Maybe a slice of peameal back bacon, or a hockey puck. No, seriously, I will though. Thanks for the input.

Cup and saucer with "Vivat Böhmen" inscription
Klášterec nad Ohří (Klösterle am der Eger), 1794
Unmarked, Inv. no. 73.857
Purchased in 1970 from the Hans Meyer Collection
The Klösterle trial product, now in the Museum's collection, is not exactly an artistic masterpiece; however, its value rests elsewhere. The object is the first or one of the first preserved pieces created in Bohemia's second oldest porcelain manufactory. The cup's intricate, almost detective-like story was described in 1973 by Dagmar Hejdová (1920—2009) in her essay published in ACTA UPM VIII. On the basis of comparisons with other early extant objects, Hejdová was able to document the form of the cup with an angular handle as modelled on Thuringian porcelain that had inspired the output of western Bohemia's first porcelain manufactories.
This cup and saucer was exhibited at the Third General Austrian Industrial Exhibition of 1845 in Vienna. It was presented as a gift to the Österreichisches Museum für Kunst und Industrie (now the MAK, Museum of Applied Arts) shortly after the Museum was founded in 1864. In 1930, the piece was transferred to the collection of the Prague collector Hans Meyer2 in exchange for three old Viennese porcelain sculptures. In 1970, the item was acquired by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague.
In April, the Vivat Böhmen cup and saucer will be placed on display at the chateau of Klášterec nad Ohří.
There it will enrich UPM's permanent exhibition that charts the development of Oriental, European and Bohemian porcelain. Newly, the collection will be expanded to include objects formerly in the property of Holocaust victims.

Gevo Probability Of Bankruptcy
For stocks, Probability Of Bankruptcy is normalized value of Z-Score. For funds and ETFs it is derived from a multi-factor model developed by Macroaxis.The score is used to predict probability of a firm or a fund going into bankruptcy or experiencing financial distress within next 24 months. Unlike Z-Score, Probability Of Bankruptcy is the value between 0 and 100 indicating the actual probability the firm will be distressed in the next 2 fiscal years.
About Probability Of BankruptcyCompanies or funds with Probability Of Bankruptcy above 90% are generally considered to be high risk with a good chance of bankruptcy in the next 2 years. On the other hand entities with Probability Of Bankruptcy of less than 15% will most likely experience some growth in the next 2 years. Probability Of Bankruptcy is based on Macroaxis own algorithm and can be used by auditors, accountants, money managers, financial advisers, as well as day traders to evaluate unsystematic risk of a stock, fund or ETF.
Gevo Probability Of Bankruptcy Assessment
GEVO Indicator
Based on latest financial disclosure Gevo Inc has Probability Of Bankruptcy of 85%. This is 82.99% higher than that of the Basic Materials sector, and 107.12% higher than that of Chemicals - Major Diversified industry, The Probability Of Bankruptcy for all stocks is 97.72% lower than the firm.

It is one of the most crucial, yet often least reliable, elements of any trial. Explore cases which raise grave questions about eyewitness testimony.
The value of eyewitness accounts in a criminal case can best be made clear by looking at trials where there is none: how might the O.J. Simpson verdict have been affected someone had seen the killing?
The power of eyewitnesses simply cannot be denied. But their accuracy certainly can. Through intense examination of cases where eyewitness testimony has been proved false, AMERICAN JUSTICE® sheds new light on this important issue. Howard Haupt sued the Las Vegas police department for leading witnesses to select him as the suspect in a kidnapping he was cleared of. Several tellers who had stood face to face with the perpetrator wrongly identified Shaun Deckinga as a bank robber. In these and other cases, the value of eyewitness testimony is called into question. Hear from legal experts and psychologists why eyewitness accounts can be so unreliable, and explore the frequent allegations that the police lead witnesses to select the person they already suspect of the crime.

Spontaneously Exploded Sunroof on 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour
Posted by
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- It seems so eerily similar the details of exploding sunroofs with Honda vehicles. My unfortunate ordeal began 5 days ago when my wife calls me at 7am on a Monday morning to tell me that the sunroof on our 2010 Honda Crosstour has just exploded. My reaction? Did I just hear you correctly? The sunroof exploded? She described it as two *creaks* like stepping on thin ice and then *BOOM*, the sunroof explodes.
So I go to swap cars with her and take a B-Line to Goodson Honda. I called Goodson on my way to tell them I was coming and the reaction in the voice of the representative had as much dismay as I had. Once I get to Goodson, the service manager takes a 10 second look and tell me that it was due to impact and proceeds to instruct the representative to quote the repair to me and he disappears.
At that point, I was plenty ticked, late for work and since Goodson is such a small, pathetic dealership, I thought I'd take my battle to a larger Honda dealership with more resources and history, Gillman Honda.
I take my care there the next morning and the service manager there inspects the car, agrees with me that the sunroof has exploded outwards and now has a very unnatural concave flex in the glass. He explains to me that they will contact Honda's district representative and reply to me shortly.
Later that day, I receive a phone call and an email from the service director of Gillman telling me that the my request for warranty repair has been denied due to her assessment that in her experience, any type of shattering glass is caused by "impact of some sort". I proceed to ask her for any observations that lead to this assessment and none can be given, only referring back to her experience. She added that the decision really is in Honda's hands and that I should call the warranty hotline, and so I do. The response by the hotline was initially positive. They gave me a case number and told me that they will contact Gillman and the district manager to schedule a follow-up inspection and get back with me to let me know when that would happen.
A couple days later, I offered the service director some research which I had come up with which counters her and Honda's argument that shattered glass MUST be the result of impact.
1. There is a current recall from Webasto, a manufacturer of sunroofs which states that a defect may cause a seal failure in the sunroof causing the glass to separate from the sunroof and cause "damage to trailing vehicles". This recall in fact involves other year and models of Honda vehicles. Although this does not directly relate to the Crosstour, it's evidence that there are other possibilities than impact that can case a sunroof to break or shatter.
2. Honda's warranty itself states that broken, chipped or scratched glass is not covered under the warranty UNLESS it results from workmanship or material defect. That means Honda itself acknowledges that it is at least plausible to have means other than impact for shattered glass.
3. Lastly, I've emailed her posts by other unfortunate drivers of Honda's or Crosstours who have had exploded sunroofs and had the dealership made the warranty repair in certain circumstances. I also offered her the name of the service director at the dealership which I had knowledge of making the warranty repair. The director distinctly recalls the situation and I hoped that Gillman's service director could draw upon the experience from another case. That also sets precedence for Honda of at least acknowledging the possibility of defect in its sunroof. Put it more directly, those repairs were made with the assessment that the exploded sunroofs were due to manufacturer's defect, otherwise it would not have been covered
To my surprise, the immediate reply that I received was an email from the service director explaining that the district manager has visited the dealership and supposedly inspected my car. His assessment? "He has concluded that this is not a factory defect, but some type of impact damage". I reply requesting an explanation for what he found, what observations were made, that led to this assessment, because I know there is none. This is when the correspondence becomes testy and I am simply asked to pick up my car.
Finally, I make several attempts to call the case manager at Honda to find out why she didn't notify me of the District Rep's visit as originally planned. I also make a plea for some sort of written documentation explaining what observations were found that led to the assessment, nothing. My case manager said that the only assessment will come from the dealer and my case is CLOSED, no if's or but's.
So for a week, I was Ping Pong'ed between the dealer and Honda America while both deferred to each other. What good is an written assessment from the dealer if they aren't the decision making authority? I also made repeated pleas to be given the opportunity to contact or be contacted by the district representative but was denied.
It's a shame that in the wake of the Toyota recalls that a car manufacturer would take such safety claims with such disregard and carelessness. I guess nobody bats an eye until someone gets hurt. Is that the way it should be, Honda? Should the consumer be always given the runaround to call the dealer and call the hotline and then call the dealer and then call the hotline? Is that in the company manual to defer responsibility so that the consumer becomes too confused at who is the authority and finally throw their hands in the air in defeat?
One last bit of background. I'm one of the original Crosstour owners, purchasing the car in Dec. of '09. I've followed the car's release ever since its days of a possible diesel engine and I made my release within weeks of its initial release. My other car is an Acura MDX, manufactured by Honda. I consider myself a loyal Honda owner...that is no longer the case.

I know it sounds like your very frsutrated as I would be too. I'm not blaming the shattered glass on you, but its really hard to determine HOW glass was shattered once the damage has been done. Its basically your word against theirs. As you said, there is no proof of a defect in your model Honda. was it very hot or very cold in your area the day of the glass explosion? large temperature variations can cause the glass to explode on its own. It sounds to me like it was just a freak thing, and I would just contact your insurance company and get it repaired through them. Honda already seems like they are not going to budge.

My 2011 Honda Accord 4dr EX spontaneously Exploded its tint Sunroof too. I have had this new car for only 3 months. We contacted the Nashville Honda Tricket dealer immediately, unfortunately they insist on saying something must hit on it. No more Honda! Actually, I already had a bad experience with Odyssey.
BJB on 03/25/2012:
I just had the same problem on Friday with a Honda CRV 2011. I called two dealerships and they both insisted it was from a rock even though there were no vehicles close enough to throw a rock. The remaining glass is bowed outward. The tow driver said it had to have exploded from the inside - he said he hadn't seen any look like this that had been hit by a rock. I expect I will get the same runaround tomorrow when I take it into town as you did since they were already insisting by phone that it couldn't be a defect. I am coming across others on the Internet who have had the same problem. One was paid for by the dealership using the "Good Samaritan" clause. In other words, they wanted to keep the person's business but were not prepared to accept liability for it. My first Honda, my first sunroof. Depending on the outcome tomorrow, it might be my last Honda, my last sunroof!
VLH on 05/05/2012:
Same thing happened to me April 25th and I have been getting the runaround. All the sudden it exploded, the inside part of the sunroof was open so this glass flew all over me and the inside of my car. Honda said something must have hit it even though there was no one in front of me. I opened a customer service ticket and he said that they have no reports of sunroof explosions in their system and that the dealer said it was from impact so that's how it goes. I brought up all the people in different states that are reporting this on the internet and he said that's just their opinion. So instead of looking into a very dangerous situation they are closing their eyes until someone gets physically hurt. Shame on Honda. I have bought three Hondas and this one will be my last.
PsyGuy on 02/13/2013:
Happened to me this morning on the way to school with the kids in our 2007 - scared the living daylights out of everyone (like others, had my shade closed so kept the pretty sparkles from falling). Like previously posted there was a loud pop and I could hear the glass scattering across the roof as I drove. Chilly morning for SoCal (40*F), but not like folks in the NE haven't taken this model through much colder. We were maybe a half mile from home so the heat wasn't on yet since the engine hadn't warmed up, so internal/external temps should not have been an issue (if the glass can't take the "pressure" of three warm bodies that's a problem). It 100% was NOT any road debris or other - the window definitely busted outward and now has a very unnatural concave flex in the glass for the pieces remaining attached - if it was from a strike the window busts inward.

Our 2010 crv sunroof exploded while on the freeway yesterday. dealer said it must have been caused by a rock. I don't think so because there was no car even close to us but they refuse to even listen. I can see that we are not the first to experience this. Maybe time to reconsider Honda Products.
KES on 04/15/2013:
Our 2010 crosstour exploded on a city street last Friday. Nothing hit it. Dealer refuses to accept that it's a recurring problem. Going to get rid of this and will never consider another Honda product.

this just happened to our 2010 Accord while driving at 35 miles an hour. The Glass actually showed buckeling to the exterior however by the time we got home to a phone shade. With no garage and impending rain storm I removed the loose glass and had to cover in plastic. Lets see what Honda says tomorrow.

I had a CRV whose back glass exploded while the car was simply parked. It was obvious that it exploded outward, but Honda would not fix it as warranty. The glass company says he gets Hondas in all the time and this problem is pretty common.

My 2010 Accord sunroof just exploded yesterday. Driving on a smooth road, no other vehicle around, no hail - just boom. I'm going to IndyHonda this morning to see what, if anything, they'll do.

Bill on 01/10/2014:
2009 Honda Accord, Sunroof exploded. Pulled into the back of a parking lot, turned off the engine. The temperatures this day (1-9-14) were in the 50's warming up to about 65. Did not have the heater or the A/C on at all during the day. Then all of a sudden, it sounded like someone threw a tennis ball into the air and landed on the roof of my car. I looked around and there was no one around my car, no cars were parked within 10-15 parking spaces. Thought that it might have been a bird pooping on my car or died as it was flying over my car. Got out of the car to look at the roof, nothing on it, but as I scan the top of the roof I notice that the sunroof has exploded and the glass is pushed upward toward the sky. As if to much pressure was put on the glass. The way the glass was flexed upward toward the sky, tells me that this was not breakage due to an object striking the glass. Took it to the nearest Honda dealership (I am 2.5 hours from my house). Dealership says that it was probably from something hitting the sunroof. I know this was not the case, as I am very aware of what happens to my vehicles. I asked the service manager if there are any recalls about defects in the sunroofs. Knowing the answer that I was going to get, asked anyway, and was told that they are not aware of any. Called the insurance company to make a claim, and everyone from my agent to the claims department sounded as if I was a 16 year old driver trying to explain to their parents what happened to the vehicle while they were not at fault. Had to order a new sunroof ($650) for the sunroof. Don't know what the cost of installation will be, but had to pay out of pocket and will be reimbursed from the insurance company, minus my comprehensive deductible. After reading all of the other posts here, I don't feel like the Lone Ranger anymore. Good to hear this, but with all of the postings of the same thing, and knowing others just have not taken the time to do as I have, makes one wonder if Honda knows something and just will not admit to it. They have had issues with quality of vehicles as of late, and this would be another bad mark, especially in the Accord lineup. Just very disappointed with this car and Honda's ability to continue their way of quality.

Paint Honda Accord
Posted by
ASHLAND, KENTUCKY -- In February, 2007 we bought a new Honda Accord. In April, 2007 we were hand washing it and we discovered small white chips where the clear coat had peeled. We told the dealership, received no satisfaction and contacted Honda Corp. They blew us off by contacting the dealership. They blamed it on tree sap, but no trees in our yard. Then blamed it on environmental. We live in very rural area.
Finally they said to take to our insurance co. and see if they would paint it. The adjuster opened the hood, took one look and said,"this car has been repainted." We then took it to 3 body repair shops
and they all agreed it had been repainted. We requested to talk to a Honda representative from the company
and were told he would call when he was in the area. You guessed it. No call. Bottom line: We were sold a car with a bad paint job from some dealer before it got to us. Finally the dealer said that they would pay for half the cost of painting, but would not use official Honda paint. not acceptable to us.
We should have been told of the repainting and bought it as new. We were duped and cheated by Honda. Our third Honda and our LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a new dealership owner, and I'm
sure since it is now 5 years, too late for help. But no more Hondas.........for us.

Wow. That's not cool. Did all this happen back in 2007? What shape is that paint in today?
I don't blame you for being upset. I wonder if the original dealer had it repainted, and sent it to your dealer unawares. It presents a somewhat unique problem which Honda would probably have to intervene in to make things right - and they didn't.
I think I would do the same as you and write Honda off after reminding their CEO the way you were treated.
Venice09 on 01/30/2012:
This is one of many reasons I would never buy a Honda again. The paint began to pit almost immediately and the interior always smelled like mold. I'm convinced it fell in the ocean on its way over here. I've seen other complaints about Honda's paint. It was our first Honda, and our last. Never again.

Air conditioning system not cooling well
Posted by
The air conditioning system does not cool as well as it ought to. It seems to take a long time to bring the temperature inside down to a comfortable level. I brought this to the attention of the dealer and I was told that the Accord does not have a great A/C system, and that this is normal for the Accord. I was stunned, I did request that they evacuate the system and recharge it, they complied, but the system still does not get as cool as the system in any other car I have ever owned or been in. The Honda dealership insists this is a common complaint for the 2011 Accord, and there is nothing further they can do. This is quite a surprise to me as I have Never heard of this before. Is there anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions as to what course of action I can pursue to remedy this problem? Or am I Stuck with it? I find it hard to believe that a manufacturer such as Honda motors has a problem like this that they aren't aware of, or haven't fixed. Everything else about the car is exactly as good as I had expected. Please HELP !!!!

Perhaps you can start the car and turn on the AC a few minutes before you get into the vehicle, giving it time to cool the interior before entering the vehicle.
You can also google the issue to see if anyone has found a satisfactory solution.
trmn8r on 07/05/2011:
I spent 15 minutes looking at this last night. I found spotty reports of "weak" air conditioning in Hondas (1 or 2 in 2011 out of 55 reviews), the usual complaints of rocks/pebbles ruining the condensor, and suggestions of using the recirculate setting.
mkm on 08/11/2011:
I have a 2011 Accord and my wife complained about the same thing. I live in Mojave and it gets hot! I make sure I use Auto/Max AC and that's works fine for me, it gets very cold! Althoug, if I use recirculate, it definitely blows less air, which is the opposite of most other cars.

Honda Accord EX V6 3.0L
Posted by
TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA -- Honda Accord EX V6 3.0L with 44,000 miles. Received error code 0780 "Death of transmission". My ABS braking locked up - I would have had a serious accident had I made it 10 more feet onto Route 53. My transmission shows failure - engine produces errors in coding...causing my ABS braking to lock up..there needs to be more complaints on this to Honda and forums...this is a safety issue and possible accidents/fatalities will occur. There should be a recall by Honda Corporation for transmission problems. Honda knows there transmission is defective they need a recall immediately before somebody is killed on the road. The best part is that transmissions do not fail overnight....I only have 44,000 miles on this vehicle. People are continuously replacing their Honda transmissions only for them to fail time and time again. Honda Corporation said they would pay for some of my replacement...but I would have to pay for tow, diagnostic, and at least $3,000 dollars from my pocket. This is NOT fair, just, or right. Consumers are being ripped off. We need a recall!!!! Honda told me my vin wasn't on the recall list of 2004. This is ridiculous. I could have died on Route 53!!!!! Diane

Honda ignores repeat customer
Posted by
TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA -- Perhaps the following representatives donât share the marketing departmentâs efforts by ignoring a legitimate claim from a repeat customer who has bought a new EX model vehicle every 3 years during the last decade. Perhaps they donât share Hondaâs advertising departmentâs efforts to market Hondas as reliable and ecologically sound transportation. The following âpenny wise, pound foolishâ responses will leave me describing my dissatisfaction to my neighbors rather than sharing my pride in owning Hondas.
The catalytic converter on my 4 cylinder 2003 Honda Accord EXL was replaced under the 8/80 warranty on 7/10/09 at Joyce Honda, Denville, NJ. The car had only 67,187 miles on it.
Now, less than a year latter and after only 18,348 miles on that genuine Honda replacement part, Aron Cooper, the Joyce Honda service manager, says it needs to be replaced. He says that the code P0420 came up after the mechanic diagnosed the reason for the check engine light to come on. That is an extremely short life span for such an environmentally important part. It is also an extremely short life span for an expensive part replaced under warranty.
Mat Hatch, the Honda factory Representative, said that Honda will not stand behind the replacement Catalytic Converter which is a Honda part, installed at a Honda dealership within the 8/80 warranty period. His rationale was that although the car is within the 8 yr. time period, it is 5,535 miles over the 80K mile limit.
Marion from Honda Automobile Customer Service (N012010-08-1301412) says that although the replacement Catalytic Converter is within the 1-year parts warranty period it is slightly over the 12K mileage for the parts warranty.
Thus Honda refuses to acknowledge the unusually short life of the replacement part that was installed under the warranty. As a consumer I am suspicious of a genuine Honda warranty replacement part that lasts for less than a year and only 18,348 miles. As a citizen I am concerned that Honda wonât honor any reasonable longevity for an environmentally sensitive part. As an automobile enthusiast I am amazed that a manufacturer is providing a Catalytic Converter that last less than 18K miles.
I expect Honda to accept responsibility for their warranty parts and installation. Surely Honda will reverse a blatant disregard to honor a request to provide an environmentally important part with a reasonable live span from a repeat customer.

2008 Honda Accord Headrests
Posted by
Katy Jane
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- Yesterday I bought a new 2008 Honda Accord V6. While test-driving the car, I was impressed with the handling, the power, the "tightness," and bought it the same day I saw it. The car drives like a dream overall, yet the headrests are ridiculous! Both the driver and passenger side headrests bizarrely push your head forward, creating a forced forward head posture. Once off the lot, I tried all day long to adjust my seat in some way to offset the odd, forward pushing headrests, but to no avail! I couldn't get comfortable and, furthermore, the headrests do not swivel. They are permanently stuck as they are, on their slant. You can raise them up or down, or turn them around backwards, but neither option fixes the issue.
In addition, when you turn them around, they slant backwards in such a way that wouldn't prevent severe whiplash if in an auto accident. I'm so very disappointed and would take the car back if I could.
We'll see...I'm going to the dealership today as soon as they open. It makes sense to get a jump on it; I am up 3 hours early this morning with a splitting headache!

Seats and Headrest
Posted by
Southern miss
PICAYUNE, MISSISSIPPI -- I bought a 2008 Honda Accord LXV6 a week ago and my back is killing me!! The seat is concave, your shoulders are pushed forward, and the lumbar support is a joke. The worst part is that the headrests are built so that they push your head forward. You cannot sit up straight at all. You cannot adjust the headrests, either. They go up or down, but not forward or back, so you have to sit there with your head craned forward. It's extremely uncomfortable and irritating.
I have to use a pillow behind my back to pull me forward so I can hold my head straight up and not hit the headrest. Can you get different headrests at least?

Transimission Failure
Posted by
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- I purchased a 2002 Honda Passport from Russle Smith Honda in Houston Texas fro the Fleet manager Ian Nylander, the transmission went out after 3 years, so I had the transmission replace at Goodson Honda in Houston, and traded the Passport in for A Honda Accord EX-L. After 9 months , 18,000 miles the transmission has gone out in the new 2005 Honda Accord. I called Customer Relations for Honda and have yet to hear back, called the fleet manager at Russell Smith Honda who sold the two lemons to me . He said that there wasn't anything I could do. Told me to just let them put a new transmission in and ask for a 100,000 mile warranty. Well I purchased a extended 100,000 mile warranty when a purchased the car. I feel as thought I have been taken advantage,feel terrified after the incident of the vehicle stalling intraffic and almost losing my life and,my childs life. I believed in Honda I thought I was a valued customer, This was the 3rd Honda I had purchased from this Corp. My family members own Hondas ,friends, I had referred co workers to Honda to purchase cars. I was told by the fleet manager Honda doesn't buy back vehicles. So he feels I'm stuck. Stuck witha 2005 Honda Accord Lemon.

Let me see if I understand this, you have a 100K mile warranty, and after 18K miles the transmission failed and they are willing to replace the transmission under warranty (so no cost to you). I really don't see what else you expect them to do.
As an aside, I have an Acura TL (made by Honda) and had to replace my transmission after 40K miles. I have heard that there are transmission problems with both makes, so have them inspect it FREQUENTLY during scheduled maintenance and you should be fine.

Go to the BBB online and file a complaint it will get the situation fixed. No owner of a Honda should have to fix a transmission more than once. Yes, there is a problem, see my post. It almost killed my wife. Advice, post your complaint with "The squeeky Wheel" and watch the results:)
Mr. Anderson on 07/07/2006:
Your not alone. I have always thought Honda took care of their customers. It was a nice feeling while it lasted. Backstabers!

My Acura TL 2000 transmission just died for the 4th time. They extended the warranty to 109,000 miles. I have 107K, os I'll be on my fourth tranny on Acura's dime...
whyme3 on 04/04/2007:
Those of you who think it is fine that the transmissions are going out are either car dealers or have too much money to care. My fully loaded V6 2005 Honda Accord had the transmission go out at 13,000 miles. At 24,000 miles the noise that my transmission made the first time I took it in had returned. Now the dealership is saying that the noise is normal for the transmission even though that's what was wrong with it the last time. Oh by the way - yes it is covered under warranty but when they replaced it they replaced it with a rebuilt transmission not a new one, and my 36,000 mile warranty does not start over for the replaced transmission. This is my third Honda, and my other 2 cars I was happy with, but after the experience I have had with this car and customer service --I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER HONDA AGAIN!-- All I want is a car that runs good and is dependable especially if I'm going to spend that much money for it.
Chuck77 on 08/21/2007:
Sounds like you are taking things out on the Dealer and person you purchased from. Your beef is with the manufacturer not the Dealer. If you're getting a new transmission plus a warranty extension what more do you want? Maybe you should try a different manafacturer - all cars break. I think Honda has one of the lower rate of incidents. With a different approach you might have heard from the manafacturer sooner. Best of luck.

What specifically did they do that another dealer would not? Massage? Nail treatment? Hot tub on premises? Free snacks in the lounge? Something more tangible?
spiderman2 on 12/31/2011:
I think the other dealer she complained of couldn't get her financed. I would like to know what interest rate this dealer got you financed at, because they may have gotten you into a car, but at what price?
jktshff1 on 12/31/2011:
Still good information to have if you are in that area.
At Your Service on 12/31/2011:
Is there a reason why others' questions in the discussion area are deleted, but questions such as these are okay?
In any case, I'm glad to read the positive review.
terir1043 on 01/01/2012:
I didn't delete any comments so I'm not really sure.. Honda Village is the way to go..If your looking for a car go see David Avery. He promises and delivers...
trmn8r on 01/01/2012:
Your complaint on the other dealer, which I hadn't seen until just now, indicates that your credit is "very bad" and "beyond bad", and that is related to your negative experience with them.
My conclusion would be that if one had bad credit, Honda Village would be a good choice because they work with customers and find a solution for them.
It isn't clear that a customer with good credit would have a different experience at one of these dealers compared with the other.
terir1043 on 01/02/2012:
I agree but the way I was treated as the other dealership was plain wrong.. I have been a Honda customer prior and never was I late on 1 payment.. Honda Village really goes all out for their customers..
Let face it the economy is bad and there are a lot of people in the same boat as I am.. It nice to know that you have a dealership that really cares and will do whatever they can...
Honda Village did that for me.. They were all friendly and I appreciate what they have done and the sale was quick and easy... Also very people friendly and Joe Chang in fiance exceptional..
You usually don't find someone in finance that goes the extra mile at least I've never had that experience even when my credit was good... Also a salesman like Dave Avery that does not feed you a bunch of B.S... I cannot thank them enough they really treated me with respect. That really means a lot.
jktshff1 on 01/02/2012:
terir, stick around, you will fit in well here.

Humming/squealing noise when brake is barely applied backing. Won't do it with wheel off.
Posted by
Bought brand new in 2001. Just started having a humming/squealing in right rear wheel when backing. Only notice when the brake is barely applied. Took wheel off, turned wheel and applied brake and didn't hear any noise. Put wheel back on and problem is steel there. The car is immaculate and only has 60,000 miles. It is my wife's car and she is 66 years old so the car has never been abused.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Richard

MDSasquatch on 06/10/2011:
If your car has disc brakes all the way around, you might be at the very early stages of needing new brake pads. New pads are manufactured with "squealers" that make a squeaking noise when the brake pads wear down to a level when they need to be replaced. You probably don't notice it when you manually rotate the wheel because you can't really turn it as fast as when the car is under power. Eventually, it will get more noticeable and probably louder if you don't get them replaced. Of course, I am not a mechanic and could be wrong, you should have it looked at; many places inspect brakes for free.
madconsumer on 06/10/2011:
has this been inspected by a mechanic? it could many things. brakes, bearings, or axle.

- Design foundry: Unknown
- Source: Font Bureau
The Nobel™ font family is a geometric sans serif family, designed by Sjoerd Henrik de Roos and Dick Dooijes in the early 1930's for the Amsterdam Type Foundry, Lettergieterij Amsterdam. Like its sister typefaces in the geometric sans serif classification, Nobel's design works around the purity of simple geometric forms, such as circles and triangles.
Nobel History
In the late twenties, Lettergieterij Amsterdam had invested a great deal of capital in Berlin Type Foundry, H Berthold AG. Seeking to solidify both the financial and creative connections between the two foundries, Lettergiesterij's Artistic Head, de Roos, decided to pursue a repurposing of Berthold's Akzidenz-Grotesk® typeface that could keep up with newly developed tastes.
Inspired by the success and popularity of the Futura® font family and its predecessor, the Erbar® font family, de Roos and Dooijes developed their new sans serif in the geometric style. The resulting typeface did not entirely please the team at Lettergieterjj; however, it eventually became one of the most popular typefaces for the Amsterdam foundry.
The typeface was re-envisioned in 1993 by the Dutch Type Library under the guidance of designers Andrea Fuchs and Fred Smeijers. At the same time, Tobias Frere-Jones – who famously referred to Nobel as "Futura cooked in dirty pots & pans"– began his own repurposing of the classic typeface for Font Bureau. At this point, the typeface included 6 styles. This work was later further developed by Cyrus Highsmith and Dyana Weissman with the addition of lighter weights and an expansion to a family of 18 styles.
The Nobel design offers unexpected segues from the usual geometric design of the classification, such as its unexpected double-stack "a". It has been described as more organic than its reserved geometric counterparts. This departure from the sterility of other geometric sans serifs is attributed by some to the influence of the Arts & Crafts School on de Roos. This subtle, albeit definitive, improvisation by de Roos was one of the key factors that endeared Frere-Jones to the typeface.

Nobel Usage
After falling out of favor at the end of the 60's, the Nobel design experienced a renaissance with its reissue by DTL and Font Bureau. Geometric sans serif typefaces like the Nobel design embody an iconic "modern" ethos associated with the mid-20th century, and are excellent for logo work or headlines meant to reflect that era. The Nobel design is often recommended for book cover and corporate use, and occasionally web use.

As I write this in early December winter has arrived with heavy snows and blizzard-like conditions across the country. Police officers, who don't have the luxury of staying indoors when the weather turns bad, begin wearing cold-weather clothing; they also start losing rapid access to their service pistol.
Wearing gloves can further compound the problem. Under these conditions a backup gun stashed in a coat pocket becomes a necessary tool, not another nice-to-have piece of gear.
There are three basic requirements for the police handgun: it must be reliable; it must be of sufficient power to stop the deadly actions of an assailant; and it must be quick into action.
Since a backup gun may be less powerful and will likely hold fewer rounds than a service pistol, these requirements are a bit flexible, but still important. A small handgun in a coat pocket give another option when the weather requires us to wear clothing that may hinder our access to our primary sidearm.
Depending on where we conceal it on our person, the backup gun can be a real lifesaver when seated in our patrol vehicle, on a traffic stop, in a contact and cover or arrest situation that suddenly goes bad.
Tests have shown that by establishing the firing grip on the handgun either in a pocket or in a holster prior to having to draw the weapon, an officer can very quickly present the handgun if the situation escalates or he can simply shoot through the coat pocket if runs out of time and distance.
While having the ability to shoot through the pocket of your winter duty jacket may give you the edge in a lethal force encounter, we need to understand that this technique will probably work best for us at arm's length or less.
Michael DeBethencourt (more about him in a minute) told me that he runs several exercises in his snubby program that allow the students to shoot through a coat pocket.
Since they have neither a visual nor a tactile index to confirm where the gun is on the target they are routinely disappointed in the results. Consider also this will probably be a technique that we will not practice.
So, for the sake of this article we will not consider shooting through a pocket. Let's get the gun out and on target.
On the other hand, in the Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry, Massad Ayoob tells us of a test he ran simulating an officer making a traffic stop, standing near the driver's side door.
He started the test by establishing his grip on the revolver in his front pants pocket. When the PACT timer went off, Ayoob drew and fired a single shot on the target, which stopped the timer. The average time for him to react to the timer, draw and fire was 0.65 of one second.
This is probably something we are likely to practice and is especially useful info for those who carry the small pistol.
What are the handguns officers are most likely to choose as a backup gun, especially for cold weather? I checked with two friends of mine who I knew were likely to be up-to-date on this requirement, Michael DeBethencourt, a working police officer in Massachussetts, who also runs a very popular snubby revolver training program, and Rob Leahy, who makes superb custom holsters, and who was a resident of Alaska until last October.
They both told me the same thing, U.S. police officers have voted with their wallets and are buying the small .38 /.357 five-shot revolver as the backup gun of choice.
They tend to prefer the S&W 340 M&P, the Taurus CIA model and lately the new Ruger LCR, because these models have no exposed hammer to snag when drawing from concealment.
It was of interest to me to learn that even though police agencies have adopted the pistol as their primary handgun, the faithful revolver remains the top choice of most in the role of backup gun.

People like to argue that social media gets in the way of real, face-to-face human interaction. I don't place much store in this argument. As a bonafide introvert, if it were possible to use social media to avoid human interaction, I would. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked so far. (I'm joking. Mostly.)
My greatest objection to social media is the never ending glut of information that spills out of it. Social media does not stick to business hours. There is no down time. I looked away from my computer screen the other day, and when I looked back a couple of minutes later, 65 new tweets had been tweeted. It is impossible to catch up, because users post content faster than anyone could ever hope to consume it all. Then, of course, there is the pressure to add to that content. And, furthermore, the pressure to add content that will stand out from the rest of the content.
I have found that the best thing to do is step back and limit my exposure. Were fewer things happening before social media? No. Celebrities still died. Protests still happened. Oil still spilled. Cats still looked grumpy. However, our exposure was limited to print, radio, and television. Fewer people could share their opinions and pets with a large-scale audience. The best thing to do is admit that it can't all be consumed, and it doesn't need to be. Before social media, we wouldn't have had access to it all in the first place.
What I love about social media is also the never ending spout of information. I like reading tweets about people, organizations, and activities that I otherwise would have never known existed. I have found volunteer opportunities this way and discovered new favorite artists. I have often heard about news items through social media before articles have been published about them in The New York Times.
Furthermore, I love the collaboration and connection that social media fosters. Through social media, I chatted with an Acquisitions Editor for a publishing company based on the East Coast. I "attended" a bus tour of historical Portland by following the tweets of those who were actually on the tour. I've consumed more art, lectures, and music, than I ever could have accessed before social media.
As with all technological advancements, there are reasons to fight against and avoid social media. However, like many technological advancements, there are also ways that social media can improve communication and quality of life.

Mercedes greenlights 911 fighter, reviving SLC name
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Nov 9th, 2011 at 3:32PM
Way back when we were calling the SLS the SLC, the men and women at AMG in Affalterbach were keeping a secret: there would be an SLC in addition to the SLS. The current car that we have had the opportunity to love in coupe and roadster forms is slated to end production in 2015. What will pick up where it leaves off is the SLC, a so-called "baby SLS" with a 4.0-liter V8 and an eight-speed, dual-clutch transmission. Car magazine predicts the future coupe will have aluminum-intensive construction and be a better performer than the SLS it replaces. It could also be a median point, itself a 911... Read More

- "It wasn't a pretty sight. Hermione's front teeth - already larger than average - were now growing at an alarming rate; she was looking more and more like a beaver as they elongated, past her bottom lip, towards her chin - panic-stricken, she felt them, and let out a terrified cry."
- —Description[src]
Densaugeo[1] is a hex which causes the teeth to elongate at a grotesque, alarming rate[1]. The Shrinking Charm can be used to counteract this spell.
The incantation is derived from Latin "dens", which means "tooth", and "augeo", which translates to "increase" or "grow".
Behind the scenes
- The hex is included in the "5 Spell Pack" DLC for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7. In the game, the hex not only enlarges teeth, it also makes the victim wear groucho glasses.

The Big Q&A

It's been almost a year since the 1.0 release of Zend Framework. In that time we've seen some of the most trafficked sites in the world deployed on ZF, many popular enterprise-oriented projects built with ZF, and some of the greatest times ever had (while coding) using ZF. Since our community has been so great in giving back to the project, we decided it's the Zend Framework team's turn to find a new way to give back.

On April 30, 2008, Zend's very own Zend Framework team will make themselves available for a 2-hour Q&A session. You can submit your questions in advance here to give us an opportunity to think them over a bit, or you can surprise us with them during the webinar. In any case, expect to find out more about ZF while getting to know everyone on the team a little better.

Please feel free to submit questions anonymously.

Please register for this webinar here.

See you there!

Wil Sinclair: What does the future hold for Zend Framework?

Darby Felton: What are some best practices related to developing models when using Zend Framework?

Darby Felton: What can we expect in terms of RAD tools for Zend Framework and when are these expected to be available?

Darby Felton: How can community members easily get started contributing to Zend Framework?

Ralph Schindler: Does Zend have plans to support a 3rd party, forge type of development forum for code that doesn't belong in the Zend Standard or Extras Library?

Jordan Moore: Can we expect any abstracted DDL support in Zend_Db components in the future?

Federico Cargnelutti: A simple CMS can help promote an open-source framework and increase its popularity, are you considering developing one?

Jan Pieper: Could Zend imagine that their framework can grow so fast with such a big community?

Jan Pieper: Actually there are smaller changes commited/moved to core. What are the next big components? How much is currently still possible?

Apr 22, 2008

Could Zend imagine that their framework can grow so fast with such a big community?

Actually there are smaller changes commited/moved to core. What are the next big components? How much is currently still possible?

Apr 23, 2008

Do you plan to add more support for unit testing - similar to rails for example?

Apr 23, 2008

With great documentation on how to use each component by itself would Zend be willing to release/develop example enterprise level applications to community members which really show the synergy of the components working together along with an example of what ZF can do at its best?

May 18, 2008

Being already at 1.5, for how long do you foresee to keep the 1.x branch (without API changes) maintained?

Sorry, I didn't notice the event was over.

WALTON, N.Y. -- Police have identified one of the two people found dead in a Delaware County home and they have ruled the fire that burned that home to the ground arson.
State Police were called to the home on John Lockwood Road in Walton on Tuesday afternoon. Police heard two gunshots and realized the home was on fire when they went inside.
Once the fire was put out, investigators found two sets of remains. One has now been identified as Debra Sundstrom, 48, of South River Road in Walton. Her death was ruled a suicide.
The second victim has still not been identified.
