Subaru Legacy/Outback 2005+
occking Posts: 346Just turning six weeks, 4500 miles in 2.5I LT. I notice on the highway, while in cruise control, whenever going downhill there is a constant, but subtle "jerking" motion back & forth oike the keeps accelerating than backing off every second or so. Have no problems on level ground or uphill, only downhill. Any comment from others? Got a good chance to check mileage today. Mostly highway trip computer had 27.6, actual mileage (filled to brim both times) was 26.7. Hopefully will continue to improve as car gets broken in & weather gets warmer.
twrx Posts: 647I too have a 2.5i LTD. I have 6000 miles and I have exactly the same thing going on with the cruise and downhill. It gets on and off throttle. I suspect they have a problem here. maybe a reprogram of the FI computer needed? My mileage is just about the same down to the 1 mpg high for the computer vs. real calculations I do at the pump. Thus far at 6000 I have not yet done better. Hope it does get 30 someday.
I havent noticed the downhill surging with cruise on our NA 4EAT Legacy (though I have not looked for it either), but one thing I do notice with this vehicle's cruise that I've NEVER noticed with any other cruise control is that it is impossible to use the steering wheel toggle switch to accelerate the vehicle a few MPH without prompting a downshift.
Its really frustrating- flick the switch up for half a second, and BAM! you've kicked down a gear!?! For what? All I want is a slightly higher pace, not a 100% effort. This doesnt happen only on upgrades or with a heavier load, or anything like that. It happens all the time.
Is this typical of Subaru Cruise Control? Or is our Legacy just special?
Also, does anyone know the stats on how breakdown of OBs sold, by engine? I'm interested to know what % of wagons use the NA 4 cyl as opposed to the Turbo or H6. (Thanks in advance).
Actually, it's pretty common for cruise controls to downshift when you hit the ACCEL button.
What I do to avoid that if I just want to accelerate briefly or increase speed a little, I use the gas pedal. ;-) It doesn't reset the cruise, and when you accelerate to the new speed you want to be at, hit the SET button. Nice, smooth, no downshifts, no one notices.
Oh, I've tried this... if I tap..literally a quick flick.. for just a hair too long, I can completely confuse the tranny without having meant to. My pops was the first one to notice it actually, and mentioned it to me.
And tsy- yes, I am aware that using the ACCEL button will prompt a downshift in most cars... my experience is that you need to hold it for a few seconds to get a downshift...
Not a big deal, and naturally, one can use the go pedal to regulate, it just struck me as a bit overly agressive.
Yeah, you don't have to hold it very long for the downshift to occur, but I find that I get about 1/2 mph per tap. Unfortunately, on mine, it is somewhat variable (sometimes I get no noticable difference, sometimes a full mph), so I usually just cancel the cruise and reset - especially when I want to drop a bit of speed because "coast" hates to cooperate. It usually will dump the speed for a few seconds, then slowly climb back up to the previous setting.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
I'd like to interrupt for a minute to discuss tires again. I mentioned that when I got my Goodyear TripleTred tires, there was a rebate on them. Well it took me more than 2 months, but I finally got my check for $50.00 last night. That brings my total cost to $105X4=$420-50=$370 delivered to my door, or $92.50/tire. I like the tires, but if they last 80,000 miles like they are supposed to it will be one helluva deal:-)
Thinking about replacing my RE 92s with Toyo Proxes 4s. The Toyo dealer offered a credit of $25 for each RE 92. Actually, I've never had a scary moment with the Potenzas, but there's so much negative feedback about their lack of wet traction, I thought I'd play it safe and replace them. Is it just hype?
'05 GT LMT Wagon 5MT
I swapped them out. The best thing I've done for my car (and my sense of well being) If you've never pushed the RE-92a's to the limits- consider yourself lucky. It's not very far until they start losing grip. Now, it's very controllable, so that's good. What's not good is when you can't stop in time!
I would say the wet grip on my Proxes 4s is marginally less than the DRY grip of the RE-92a's. They offer much more grip, better handling and control, shorter stopping distances, they are lighter, and a little quiter ride.
The down side? I don't know how long the tread will last. I also don't know how the tire will wear over time. The rim protection strip is not as 'beefy'. That's about it.
Otherwise I am very happy with them, and they were worth every penny.
Thanks for the advice, Sly and tom. Almost went for the Proxes T1-S for no better reason than the look of the treads. Ultimately got the Proxes 4s for the all-weather capability. Les Schwab Tire threw in a pair of free steaks, too. I'm sure the meat is not of the highest quality, but I hope they're at least less rubbery than the tires they sell.

Had the same problem on my '98 OBW. Moved the front bar as far forward as possible. Placed the box so that the rear spoiler on the hatch had about 1" clearance with the box. Drilled new holes in the box for the hold-downs. The box rides just great - with or without skis. Have had it up to 80+ mph without problems.
Hi Guys,
Need some advice. I'll probably be purchasing a Legacy Wagon 2.5i or a base Outback Wagon in the next few months. My wife prefers the Outback and I prefer the Legacy. So we'll probably compromise and get the Outback =) We do some camping/Skiing/biking/etc and a Thule box is a common fixture atop our current vehicle... so the Outback would probably be a better fit. However, I'm a little concerned with the motorized seat adjustments for the driver side. I'm ~6' and my wife is ~5'4" so every time either one of us will get into the car, the seat will need to be adjusted (front/back, up/down, and backrest rake). I've never had motorized seat adjustments... preferring the mechanical, spring-loaded controls for reliability reasons. Does anybody have any info regarding past reliability issues on these electrical motors? If history is any indication, I will likely keep the vehicle for 10 years or so. I want to make sure that I'm not replacing one (or more) of these motors every couple of years. If there have been issues in the past, I may just bite the bullet and go for the more "urbanite" Legacy Wagon with the mechanical adjustments.
dcab Posts: 101Having driven my 1997 Outback for eight years and now thinking about my next vehicle, I was under the impression that the Outback had gotten considerably roomier in that time. In comparing a 2005 Outback to my 1997, I see that it is a longer, wider vehicle and yet the interior dimensions are little changed, and in some cases smaller.
1. the 05 is 188.7 inches long with a 105.1 inch wheelbase compared to 185.8 and 103.5 on the 97 and yet front legroom is only up .8 from 43.3 to 44.1 and rear legroom is DOWN from 34.8 to 33.9 (the Forester's rear legroom is listed at 33.7!).
2. cargo capacity is listed at 36.5 cu. ft. with the seat up and 73.6 with the seat down on the 97 and only 33.5 and 66.2 on the 05 (without moonroof).
3. the 05 is over 2 inches wider (67.5 to 69.7)and yet shoulder room barely increases: up to 54.4 inches in the front and 53.7 in the back on the 05 compared to 54.1/53.6 on my 97.
4. the 05 has a height of 63.2 compared to the 97's 63.0. Headroom (w/o moonroof) is up .3 of an inch (40.2 to 40.5)in the front, but is down .1 in the rear seat (39.2 to 39.1).
Am I missing something? Where did the extra inches go? Perhaps cars are measured differently today than eight years ago?
There are people complaining about US bumpers, compared to JDM or European models. I wonder what is the real length increase, not counting extended US bumpers.
I think I will search the web ;-)
PS OK Euro Legacy is 4665mm long (183.7 in) and 1730mm wide (68.1 in).
Now Outback is:
Length 4730mm 186.2 in
Width 1770mm 69.7 in
kmclean Posts: 173Hi, Tom,
I have a 2K OB Ltd wagon with the electric motors on the driver's seat, and with four drivers of differing heights/leg lengths (wife and two daughters) they've had a real work-out with no problems. I've had other cars (some with power seats on both sides) and have never had a problem. I'd say go for it (too bad they don't have memory seats - that's a must for my next car)!
Cheers from (unbelievably sunny) Seattle,
Ken M.
Well, if they DID have memory, then I can see the value in the motorized adjustments. Otherwise, it is just there to feel fancy and teach us drivers how to be patient... ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne.....2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
kens Posts: 5,869Manual seats are definetly great for large and frequent adjustments.
However, after having driven in my 05 LGT, I am appreciating the ability to make small adjustments with the power seats on-the-fly. With manual adjustments, the increments not only tend to be bigger, but they can be hard to zero in on.
Like ACC, power seats usually make life easier for most people, most of the time.

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Chaparral homeowners prepare to 'stand ground' after outbreak of burglaries By: Genevieve CurtisChaparral, N.M.-- An outbreak of home burglaries in Chaparral has the community in fear and taking matters into their own hands. If you break into my house, I am going to shoot you, said Pastor Richard Plock. Plock said the community isnt taking any chances after a spike in home burglaries. Eighteen were reported to the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office in just two months. But Plock said, there are even more that have not been reported.People are telling me, 'I am buying a gun and Im going to shoot them the next time they come by,' and thats what is scary. Youve got some old people out here that are in fear of their life, and what is the police department doing? said Plock. Thieves scaled Tony Mazzocchis fence and stole equipment out of his shed, just feet from his bedroom window. Now, he's taking extra steps to protect his property. He added barbed wire to his fence, got a pit bull and is standing his ground. The neighbors are all up in arms; theyre securing themselves. We have to keep our community intact, said Mazzocchi. Some homeowners have been targeted two or three times. Pastor Plock said his properties havent been spared hes had at least two recent break-ins. Burglars broke into property owned by Arnie Figueroa's father. They made off with thousands of pounds of metal, pipes and parts off of classic Volkswagens. He was shattered; it hurt him real bad. Any time you get violated, somebody comes into your personal property and removes your property, you are violated, said Figueroa. Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office leaders said they've added extra patrols to the area and are starting several other security operations, and they have ongoing investigations. We are sensitive to the people who live there and understand that they want to feel safe in their community, so we have increased saturated patrol operations in the areas where we are seeing increased activity of this nature, said a spokesperson. Community members suspect there may be other factors at work contributing to the rash of burglaries, including drugs and businesses where its easy to drop off stolen property.I hope the sheriff can understand that we need more protection. This should be No. 1 priority, said Mazzocchi. Many have lost property to the thieves, but most of all they say its their sense of security that's been taken. Fear is going to drive people to do crazy things, said Plock. Last week, Dona Ana County deputies arrested one man, Lorenzo Cano, in connection with alleged metal theft. Its unknown whether he's tied to the recent string of burglaries. Chaparral is split between Dona Ana County and Otero County. WhenKFOX14 contacted Otero County Sheriff Benny House last week, he didn't have numbers on how many burglaries have been reported in the area but told KFOX he would look into it.

and the living is easy ...
I have had such a great weekend, it's almost over, and I'm off to bed in order to be able to get up bright and early and have a healthy breakfast before heading for work.
I've walked every day, and have set a new record for the "round" I take, 45 minutes brisk walking.
We've spent almost the whole weekend outside in our garden, we grilled some chicken/pork/beef kebabs and had hummus and salad with it, as well as a piece of birthday cake my mother-in-law brought and we all sat outside in the lovely evening light talking and enjoying life.
A trip to the garden centre today and we came back with lots of fun projects - a bamboo plant we placed in the new bed, along with some strawberry plants! LOL. The fruit trees are in full bloom, the lilacs too, giving off a heedy scent.
I love this time of year! And I am really looking forward to the rest of my journey/life - to keeping on keeping on - it's fun to be so motivated!
And I'm so DONE!
My mother-in-law asked me if I'd lost weight today! Wonderful to be able to say "Yes, thanks for noticing!"
My dearest has also mentioned that my tummy feels smaller, but I hadn't really believed him.
Edit: This was after we all went for a walk around 4 km. Lovely day!
I actually jogged a bit today! I called it "interval training" since I mostly walked and I feel warm and fuzzy all over after a great day. I need to get myself some better shoes if I'm keeping this up, those I have are meant for walking only. But it was fun to play with tempo and try to find the best music on my iPod to fit my mood.
Oh, and I saw a hedgehog rolled into a spiky ball when a cat came near. I don't think the cat stood a chance, though she was VERY curious - or possibly hunting.
Also looking forward to the weekend, my in-laws will visit tomorrow, and we'll have a BBQ with lots of healthy choices, and a slice of cake just because.
I asked my MIL to bring her walking shoes, and we'll go the 2-3 miles she used to do when she lived here.
Getting better at having a majority of "salad days" rather than "cake days" is a big goal for me.
If I can manage to not eat out of boredom, or want to have salty or sweet snacks too often, I'm not going to let myself worry about having an occasional day or two above calorie range, any more than I worry about those days when I am below my calorie range.
Since I'm not on a diet, but focus on getting consistent exercise (a HUGE change in my life already) and building a better lifestyle into my working days, any improvements I make with my food choices will lead me in the right direction.
I have heard said in Norwegian something I'll try to translate: "It's not what you eat between Christmas and New Year's Eve that will make you fat; it's what you eat between New Year's Eve and Christmas..."
Another gloriously sunny day and we had a special celebration tonight: I invited my dearest out to our favourite Chinese restaurant since it was his birthday. I hope the dry fried beef and fois gras I had won't stick to me, since this was a special birthday meal and not an ordinary day. LOL.
We even went for a little walk together afterwards, it was quite romantic in the sunset along green fields - we only walked as far as the horse paddock before turning back, since it was getting a bit late.
I went to the doctor with my ear infection after work, and he "vacuumed" my ear and gave me some drops to use twice a day - yucky stuff such infections. I hope I'll finally get rid of it, the last time I had it was in March...

This was a Christmas gift, and I was pleased to give it. The quality is beyond excellent.. Money well spent.
This is my first purchase from the Enzo Tovare line. I was a little apprehensive in ordering but the prior reviews were so delightful and pleasing, I had to take a dive and boy am I Happy I Did! First, I ordered this dress shirt on a Friday and received it the following Wednesday (not bad). Second, I was Extremely surprised and pleased when I opened the shipping box. The Dress Shirt was in a beautiful orange box. When I opened the box, its lined in Enzo Tovare monogrammed tissue paper. The Dress Shirt itself is in a plastic bag and folded every so neatly (just like the picture on this site). I can not put into words the quality and feel of the shirt. It's soft and textured and it's as if I spent a couple of hundred dollars for it. Now all I have to do is wrap the orange box and Viola! This was purchased as a gift for someone and without a doubt I know he will Love It! And I'm sure you will too!

.- The Christian Life Movement, an international Catholic association of the faithful that belongs to the Sodalite Family, will finish delivering 600 tons of aid this weekend to those affected by the August 15 earthquake in southern Peru, with the support of 500 new volunteers who will distribute the goods and offer spiritual support to those in need.
The CLM has launched a solidarity campaign which has already distributed 300 tons of donations—an amount that will be duplicated in the coming days—and has sent over 1500 volunteers to the affected region.
According to organizers of the campaign, "In response to so much suffering and pain caused by the earthquake that affected mainly the province of Ica in the south, the CLM immediately went on alert."
The 7.9 magnitude quake left more than 500 dead, 1000 injured and 100,000 homeless. Hours after the tragedy, the CLM sent doctors, nurses and health specialists to the region. The movement also organized fundraising drives and volunteers to help out in the relief effort. The CLM campaign has thus far helped more than 13,000 families.
The movements has posted video reports on YouTube in order to encourage people to help out in the relief effort: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_1wc7-oBV0

iPad 101: Reserve an iPad from outside the US
If you're living in Canada or Mexico -- but close enough to the border to make a trip to a US Apple Store -- Clean My Screen has posted instructions for reserving an iPad outside of the US. There are 23 steps in the guide, but it doesn't look terribly complicated.
It involves the creation of a new account with a US address and no payment method, but with a real email address. Then you can confirm your account and make a reservation, although you'll need to make a trek (or have a friend in a convenient location do it) to a brick-and-mortar US Apple Store to retrieve your iPad.
As noted in the article, having a US iTunes account can be handy for a handful of other reasons, including being used to buy free apps and music, and potentially get free eBooks once the iBook Store opens. If you live outside of iPad reservation territory, give it a shot and let us know how you fare.

Dalton bodybuilder arrested in Germany on drug charges
Last updated at 16:37, Friday, 11 January 2013
A VETERAN bodybuilder and Furness gym owner has been arrested while abroad on suspicion of smuggling drugs.
Bernie Cooper was arrested in Bavaria, in south west Germany, on Monday on suspicion of attempting to smuggle drugs, the Evening Mail understands.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We can confirm the arrest of a British national on January 7 in Bavaria."
The spokesman added the Foreign Office would provide Mr Cooper with consular assistance should he require it.
Mr Cooper owns Bernie's Gym, in Chapel Street, Dalton, where he has helped coach and advise countless people get into shape and pursue bodybuilding.
During his decorated career in the sport, he has continually defeated men many years his junior to win a raft of titles.
He reached a national audience in 2007 when he featured on the BBC television programme Bodybuilding Pensioners – a documentary which focused on senior citizens who live for working out and competing in contests.
The Evening Mail reported in October 2006 how Mr Cooper achieved his ultimate ambition by being crowned Mr Universe, when he was filmed for the same documentary.
Aged 60 at the time, he landed the National Amateur Bodybuilding Association's over-50s title at that event, held in Southport, beating competitors from the UK, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Holland, Brazil and Poland with a unanimous decision from the seven judges.
He told the Evening Mail at the time: "This is my best ever achievement in bodybuilding. Mr Universe is the ultimate prize in this sport.
"It's like winning an Olympic medal, it's that kind of standard.
"Only one other guy from the UK has ever won it in this age category before, that was two years ago."
Among the other numerous accolades to his name, Mr Cooper has been crowned Mr Cumbria, World Champion and won gold in the Commonwealth Championships.

Perhaps the only womenswear brand that men enjoy the campaigns of as much, or perhaps more than the women, is Agent Provocateur. For their Fall/Winter 2013 campaign of their L'Agent line, they enlisted the directorial help of Penelope Cruz, and the aesthetic assistance of Irina Shayk. The narrative is, as ever, minimal, in order not to detract from the scantily-clad women, of which there are many. Check it out for yourself above in HD.

Standard targets 900,000 circulation ahead of London Live launch
London Evening Standard has announced plans to "significantly increase" its print run from 700,000 per day towards 900,000 from next week, ahead of the launch of London Live, its local TV station.
London Evening Standard: kicks off circulation push
From Monday 13 January the London newspaper will begin extending its distribution from central city, tube and railway station locations out through to zone 6 and in to all 32 London boroughs.
The distribution increase will eventually see The Evening Standard available at 250 new locations, including major transport interchanges and selected branches of major supermarket retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose and Morrison's.
The distribution roll-out will build throughout January and will be complete in time for Evening Standard Limited's launch of London's new entertainment channel, London Live.
With a recently relaunched digital version of the newspaper on iOS and Android, Londoners will have greater access to the Standard's news, features and comment – for free.
When London Live launches in the Spring it will become the first 24-hour entertainment and news channel entirely devoted to the capital. It will be broadcast on Freeview, Sky and Virgin.
Sarah Sands, editor of London Evening Standard, said: "The next 12 months are going to be exciting for the London Evening Standard. Through this increased distribution and the launch of our sister TV station we will be giving even more Londoners access to the very best reporting on this fantastic city."
Since being bought by Evgeny Lebedev in January 2009 and dropping its cover price in October the same year, the London Evening Standard's distribution has increased from 250,000 to 700,000. The latest move is expected to take its reach "towards a target of 900,000".
Andrew Mullins, managing director of Evening Standard Limited, said the extended print run forms part of plans to take Evening Standard "to the next level".
He said: "2014 is a big year for the Standard, with enhancements to editorial content, a powerful multi-platform offering and the launch of our brand new entertainment and news channel London Live, we will now be able to engage with Londoners across the entire capital, providing a uniquely valuable audience offering for commercial partners."

"Government" is, everywhere, an industry in serious trouble. Not only do its consumers constantly complain, but some also are finding alternatives. Its products are failing the tests of quality and innovation, and it costs more than users want to pay. If governments were private firms, they'd be facing the prospect of either a takeover to "rescue" them or death in the competitive marketplace as their customer base migrates to newer alternatives.
Don't buy the government-business comparison? In fact, governments today face precisely those challenges. Start with takeover threats. Many governments -- from a variety of municipalities in the United States (Governing maintains an online list and map citing at least 31) to several member countries of the European Union -- have been forced to accept one form or another of outside supervision of their fiscal affairs. The Tea Party openly offers the usual corporate raider's solution: dismemberment and liquidation of the hostile takeover target -- in this case, "government" generally.
Look at competitive challenges to governments today: not just a range of alternative public-sector models, from the autocratic to state failure, but also a growing host of private-sector challengers in the provision of every sort of "governmental" service, from the state's traditional province of use of force to such newer areas as social welfare (as we'll discuss in future posts, non-state actors ranging from major defense contractors, responding to former Secretary of State Hillary's Clinton "soft power" initiatives, to terrorist group Hamas have gotten into the social services field). Many businesses have qualities of de facto government (top-down decisions, no consumer voice, little transparency, trampling of individual rights like privacy, and no viable means of escape; as I've written elsewhere, Facebook comes to mind). So it's not too big a stretch to say that governments face pretty much the same challenges as any other business.
At some point, all entities need a demand for their services, to deliver those services at a level of quality that maintains that demand, to respond to innovation and competition by improving them for the times, and to do it with the resources they can command by performing those functions. Any entity that ignores these realities will eventually "go out of business" -- whether or not it's a business.
To make government work in the 21st century requires the same basic "business plan" as in any other failing, but potentially still viable, enterprise:
- First, resize it to current realities -- stop the bleeding, cut the fat, and get the existing operation on stable footing. Then, start thinking about the future -- or, more accurately, the present that's already arrived while the enterprise remained stuck in the past;
- Redesign the business, its products, services, and organization, to meet current and future demand -- you wouldn't keep selling buggy whips if people wanted cars. And then,
- Redefine and reposition the enterprise to compete effectively against new competitors and in whole new markets.
That's the business plan I'll follow (if fitfully) in this space. Let's start with resizing, the subject of most of the debate about government today. How much should we spend on government? How large or small should the deficit be? How much should we cut? A good place to start is discussing how we can control reckless spending, spend more wisely, and make the decisions necessary to bring spending in line with what we're able and willing to pay for it.
That's because, in turning around a troubled enterprise, the first thing to do is to stop the hemorrhaging. That doesn't mean you start hacking away at the enterprise indiscriminately, or just blow it up. You want to attack the problem strategically, starting with purely wasteful spending that can be eliminated without hurting operations -- in fact, eliminating waste will actually help operations.
Consider for a moment what is "waste" (and its cousins, "fraud" and "abuse"). Many people apply this term to virtually any government program with which they disagree. For instance, a liberal may view military spending as "waste" while a conservative might think the same of giving money to a homeless person. We'll use the term "waste" in a different and more precise sense: money that isn't being spent for its intended purpose. However one feels about defense spending, defense dollars shouldn't be spent on gold toilet seats, as the National Performance Review under Vice President Al Gore found they were, and whatever one thinks of welfare, welfare dollars shouldn't be spent on ineligible services, as various federal reviews have found to be the case with as much as 40 percent of Medicaid spending.

Assemblyman Ray Walter kicks off Christmas in July toy drive.
"Western New Yorkers are never slow to answer the call for generosity and compassion when it comes to fellow members of our community," said Walter. "The 'Christmas in July' toy drive puts smiles on the faces of local children facing illness and boosts morale throughout the Hospital. I urge anyone that is able to make a contribution to donate and provide some summertime Christmas cheer to the patients at Kaleida Health's Women and Children's Hospital."
Walter said supporters may drop off new, unwrapped toys at his district office located at 5555 Main Street in Williamsville. Other drop-off locations include the Harlem Road Community Center, the Audubon and Clearfield Libraries, the Amherst Municipal Building and the Amherst Senior Center.
Walter and Smardz, both fathers of two boys, said their sons look forward to helping them with the toy drive. The boys also will be encouraging their friends to make donations and assisting their dads in collecting the toys.
"Our patients, their families and all of us at Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo thank Assemblyman Ray Walter, Assemblyman Kevin Smardz and all those who support this 'Christmas in July' toy drive," said Tara Young, Child Life Specialist, Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo. "We all look forward to the return visit later this summer when the toys are delivered and we enjoy the annual 'Christmas in July' holiday party. This will certainly help brighten the day for our many patients admitted here this summer and fall."
In addition, Assemblyman Walter also encourages local organizations, businesses and churches to collect for the event. "The toy drive can only be successful if we receive support from all sections of the community," said Walter.
Walter said the toys will be given to current patients, as well as throughout the year to children undergoing surgeries and other medical procedures. Walter recommended some gift ideas for all ages include movies, books, cds and gift cards.
Those interested in viewing specific items that the hospital has suggested can look online at Kaleida Health's Women and Children's Hospital Web site.
For more information on the "Christmas in July" toy drive, or if you need an on-site donation pick up, please contact Assemblyman Walter at email@example.com, or call his district office at 716-634-1895.

This case is pretty legit! Covers the entire case while providing functionality. Well made metal not flimsy. Easy access to all ports and volume controls. Speaker and mic are not covered so easy to hear and for people to hear you. It is pretty cheap price!Cons:
Nothing I can think of yet. The only thing I would be worried about is the door maybe falling off eventually after repetitive use. Although I see it lasting a long while.OtherThoughts:
Cheap for under $20. Anywhere else it is upwards of $50-75.Bottomline:

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Richard has the gift but doesn't want it. Richard has the gift but doesn't want it. Richard has the gift but doesn't want it. Kahlan is the Mother Confessor but doesn't want to be. Kahlan is the Mother Confessor but doesn't want to be. Kahlan is the Mother Confessor but doesn't want to be. That's the sort of feeling I got while reading this book.
It's the second in the Sword of Truth series, the sequel to the Wizard's First Rule. In this one we learn about the second rule, to paraphrase, good things you do even for the reasons sometimes make everything turn to crap (hey, I said I was paraphrasing). In this epic Kahlan and Richard spend most of their time apart which made the story seem like it was being pulled in two. Fighting a war and fighting, uh, I guess a bunch of anti-nun types who collar young boys. I put it in those words not to shock, but to warn. The boys they collar are the ones who have the wizard's gift. I've read a wide variety of books with all sorts of stuff in it, some of it tasteful, some of it not so much, a lot of it just implied. In this book, there was just something so insanely creepy about the relationship between the Sisters of the Light characters and the Wizards to be.
Then of course, like the first one, it repeats, well, a whole lot of stuff ad infinitum, and then repeatedly... This makes the plot drag worse than someone trying to get through a Wizard's shield with no subtraction magic.
And again, like in the first, the sad thing is that some parts of the book, some characters, some scenes are so brilliant and amazing that it hurts to read the crappy stuff. We meet Cara and one of the Sisters of the Light, Verna. But, all that goodness is buried an mired in the muck and dreck that is the rest of the story. So, a middling three stars. The bad mostly balances out the good, but only barely.
After finishing up the first book in the Sword of Truth Series I was excited to read the next book. Stone of Tears did not let me down! It was better than the first book, even though I thought it was a little predictable and formulaic.
I enjoyed the story of this book and how it picked up right after the previous story ended. The plot was engaging and there were plenty of sub plots, which kept the story moving. Even though the plot dragged in some parts, it would eventually pick up after a short time. It also had humorous aspects, as well as action, despair, and violent scenes (rape, death, gory battles).
Goodkind was detailed (sometimes overly so) when it came to describing his unique, compelling, and ever expanding world. It was interesting to have the story focus on other parts of the world that we have not been before. I particularly liked going to the Old World and meeting new groups of people.
Terry Goodkind did a wonderful job of developing his characters, especially some of the secondary characters we are introduced to in this book. Verna, Chandalen, and Gratch are a few of the new characters we get to meet. In regards to his main characters, we get to see other sides to them. The only thing I don't like about his characters is that they are either good or evil; he doesn't have any gray characters that I noticed.
Even though this novel was good, I have some complaints. First of all, Goodkind's writing is not that good. There is simplicity in his sentence structure and there are many abrupt transitions, which prevents the story from flowing well. Also, the author tends to repeat past events, even the larger ones that you probably wouldn't forget. Maybe this was helpful when reading them as they came out, but back to back it gets a little annoying. Additionally, the ending was completed in just a few pages. When considering the length of the book, I felt it was a little abrupt.
This review refers to the SOT series through book 9.
Terry Goodkind's first book Wizard's First Rule was great! Except for the actual First Rule ("People are Stupid"), which was...stupid. The story had so many unique and fascinating characters (especially the secondary ones). I was in love with Richard; I wanted to be a Mord-Sith. The next couple of books of The Sword of Truth were pretty good, too.
Then...I don't know what happened...it just TOTALLY lost it. The writing style became incredibly annoying and Richard was getting WAY too preachy (constant Ayn Rand-ish humanistic ranting). But, I kept going because I was really invested by this time. And each time I bought one of his $25 hardback books, I found myself rolling my eyes at every passive sentence and starting to fall asleep during the sermons (when did Richard hire a speech writer??).
And the plot really got ssslllllloooowwww (just look at the book covers for Chainfire and Phantom — you can tell we're not going anywhere). But the weirdest thing is that I kept buying these 1 star books! I can't explain my behavior, except to say that Terry Goodkind is (was) a master at plot and characterization (truly, his secondary characters are so well done). So I kept thinking that things would get better, but they did not. How did he pull off that excellent first booK?? I've learned from this experience that I can put down a book if it's not good. There's too much good literature to read.
According to Mr Goodkind, those of us who have bailed out are ignorant and uneducated. Wow. That is something I have never been called before. I should have realized right from the start ("Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid") what kind of fellow Terry Goodkind is. Here is a quote from a chat session conducted with Mr Goodkind (this used to be on his website, but has now been removed. It is well-documented on the internet, however.):
"Why would they continue to read books they claim are bad? Because they hate that my novels exists. Values arouse hatred in these people. Their goal is not to enjoy life, but to destroy that which is good — much like a school child who does not wish to study for a test and instead beats up a classmate who does well. These people hate what is good because it is good. Their lives are limited to loathing and indifference. It isn't that they want to read a good book, what they want is to make sure that you do not. Ignore them." —Terry Goodkind
I say Terry Goodkind is the one acting like a school child having a tantrum. I regret that he got so much of my money. I hope you won't give him any of yours. If you really want to try a Goodkind book, I would recommend that you go to the library and check out the first few, and then trust me that you don't need to read any further. I will not read the last book. I'm not even tempted. What an ass.
Read more Terry Goodkind book reviews at Fantasy Literature .
I hate that these books are so damn long, but so damn fun to read. It's like, "I'm reading a Sword of Truth book. Better clear my calendar."
I thought that book 2 would be shorter because all the exposition was out of the way. Nope. This one's almost 100,000 words longer. That means 100,000 more pages of the world's most unlikeable fantasy hero.
Well, unlikeable isn't a good word to describe him. If he was that unlikeable, I'd stop reading. His problem is he has no humility. Mere humans are no longer problems for him now that he's the Seeker and a wizard and got the Sword of Truth and he caught all the Pokemon. The only things he fears are losing his girlfriend and dead people he previously killed who can mess his shit up. If you aren't one of those things, you are an ant.
It's not that he does evil deeds. He does good deeds. But he does them in such an egotistical, "I-know-this-will-never-fail" way that makes him a jerk. Like if Superman was more realistic. He does things without consideration for consequences. And he feels it's his duty to right every wrong. He has no no sense of humor and never considers consequences before acting. It's like he's forgotten that he's human, that even the most subtle wizard will still fall to a knife between the shoulder blades. Who knows if I would become the same under the same circumstances. But he's so dynamic that I can't stop reading about him.
And then there's his love interest, Kahlan. They were an item in the first book, but for this one, they're separated. Except for a large chunk in the beginning that plays out much like the entirety of the previous book:."Oh, I love you." "I love you too." "But we can't be together." "I'll die without you." "I'll die if I'm with you." "Let's die together." "We almost died... together." Would you just have sex and get on with it? It's like you have to say it enough to convince yourself of it.
And the other thing is that this author must hate women. There's not a woman in this book who's a nice, normal person. Everyone's either a dominatrix, a lesbian witch, a tribal amazon, or a school teacher nun (in both slutty and non-slutty varieties). They're all dumbass flirts or power-hungry witches. The dragon's the nicest female in the book.
The story and themes this book touches on are generally pretty interesting. Goodkind holds with the love story from the first book, delving into the importance of love and its dangers. While I had a lot of trouble with the love story in the previous book, here it works well and is one of the better themes. This is a bit strange when you consider the two focuses of the love story spend so much time apart here.
Although touched on briefly in Wizards the idea of prophesies his and critique of them in this book is greatly expanded, and really helps this title out. The difficulty of anyone truly understanding prophecies in any way other than hindsight was really interesting and it made any scene with Nathan all that much more interesting. This sub-plot was by far a highlight for me. In to many fantasy novels, prophecy is just a plot device that is treated like instructions for building furniture from Ikea. It was nice to see the idea given a good once over.
I also liked that Goodkind continued with the one new rule per book that he started in Wizard's First Rule. The rules are each worked into the story in a really interesting way, and I find myself interested in finding out what the next one is.
Even though I loved the way several of the plot points were handled, the characters remain the main reason I enjoyed this book. Zed is a pleasure to follow and Richards's story line was both interesting and different from what he faced in the last book. To many times sequels become rehashes of the first title so it was nice to see him getting new challenges. The addition of Gratch is well done and I found myself really liking him as a character.
Unfortunately I found everything around Kahlan to be a bit tedious; unlike Richard who still feels fresh she is still hitting the same notes. Instead of feeling like her own character she is starting to come off as just a plot device for others.

An Epic of Awesome Power
Kahlan has at last gained the one goal she had always thought was beyond her grasp ... love. Against all odds, the ancient bonds of secret oaths, and the dark talents of men long dead, Richard has won her heart.
Amid sudden and disastrous events, Richard's life is called due to satisfy those treacherous oaths. To save his life, Kahlan must forsake Richard's love and cast him into the chains of slavery, knowing there could be no sin worse than such a betrayal.
Richard is determined to unlock the secrets bound in the magic of ancient oaths and to again be free. Kahlan, alone with the terrible truth of what she has done, must set about altering the course of a world thrown into war. But even that may be easier than ever winning back the heart of the only man she will ever love.

Origin Stories: Naturespace
I've always been a sucker for soundscapes -- those looping sound effect CD's that whisk you away to the beach, or a rainforest or whatever. As I have a hard time "shutting down" my brain, these sounds give me something to get lost in and focus on, helping relax me. I think it's the same way for a lot of people, but when I introduce them to Naturespace's audio by way of their app, they are blown away. Naturespace captures incredible 3D audio and puts a vast library of it at your fingertips.
If you've never tried the app, I highly recommend you download it. The free samples which come with it are enough to get you started, but since the App Store's debut the Naturespace team has consistently grown the in-app purchase content. There's now a dizzying array of sounds, from the real to the imaginary. In fact, there are now two apps but one, Thunder God, focuses solely on thunderstorms.
Naturespace, at our request, made a video to explain where they got started. It actually began before the iPhone. But I'll let them tell the story in this fantastic edition of Origin Stories.
