2013 and earlier-Honda Civic Lease Questions
xbeatzx Posts: 2So after spending the better part of the day working with a local Honda Dealer, I think we got a deal. We initially wanted a White EX with Beige, Thought we had a deal worked out at a couple of hundred over Invoice at $236.00 a month after MN 6.5% Tax. They didn't have any in stock but had a White EX-L with black interior. Deal we got is $21.200 purchase price ($400 below Invoice and retail of $23,055.00, 36 Month/12k lease, .0011 Money Factor (2.66%) and 63% Residual. Total payment including tax per month of $249.50. $1000 total down which includes Fee's and first month. $14,063 buy out at the end. So Basically we got the leather package for an extra $14 a month or the upgrade in model for $800 since we had worked out $20,400 on just the EX. The heated seats and mirrors should actually be a nice bonus with our weather.
Anyone comment if this is a deal or not? Really is appreciated. -
jipster Posts: 5,345Got a shallow dent and a few deep scratches in my 2012 Civic from someone clipping my car in parking lot. 2 estimates were both $1,150. What would you do? Repair the right way. Do it cheap for $400, sit on it and hope Honda doesn't notice it if I turn it in, or do nothing and buy at end of lease.
Don't think I want to turn in to insurance. -

lakerskobe Posts: 31My advice for leasing:
1. Only deal with manufacturer subsidized leases. Negotiating a lease on your own will often end up being very expensive.
Current Honda leases specials.... http://automobiles.honda.com/current-offers.aspx
2. Ask if Gap Insurance is included in the payments... if not, ask it be included.
3. You can transfer lease contracts, very useful if you encounter financial hardship during your lease. Some services that help you with this http://www.leasetrader.com and http://www.swapalease.com
4. You can also trade-in or sell leased cars. But you'll be responsible for the full price of the car. So if there are any negative equity, you will be responsible.
5. If you foresee going over 12,000 mile/year limit, then you can purchase miles beforehand at a discount. -
contract_build Posts: 26You might want to read your paperwork also... my understanding is the $1500 is broken up into 3 incidents x $500. So if the poster had $1100 from one "incident" they would still be liable for $600 ($1100-500 allowance) with another 2 x $500 available.
Don't have direct experience with this amount of lease "wear", just what I understand after reading the back of my contract so if someone does a correction is requested. -
iwannagr8lease Posts: 42Unless I see something supporting this low figure more than just words don't waste your time chasing it. Also the poster never even got back to you with dealer's name and what kind of poster would deny such request from "jersey girls"?
Same poster failed to provide such information in a 2008 post and wanted to be emailed..........check their posting history. -
contract_build Posts: 26Yeah, you and I are reading it the same way (I always thought it was $1500 absolute but learned something now because your post got me to read the fine print).
It's bad luck but if theres a plus it's that they do give something towards this (not aware of others that do) and at the end of the lease theres no disposition fee. -
iwannagr8lease Posts: 42Greetings kyfdx and car_man and thanks in advance: I read about cash for the accord and crv.
Is there any flexcash for the civic?
Looking for an lx or if I can swing it an ex. Is there a difference for buying or leasing if there is any flexmoney for either the lx or the ex?
Your information will be very appreciated! -
iwannagr8lease Posts: 42Confirming Honda's lease damage waiver is $1500 = 3 incidents x $500.
- $1500 damage x 1 = leasee owes $1000
- $1000 damage x 1 = leasee owes $500
- $500 damage x 3 = leasee owes $0
- $1500 damage x 5 = someone else should drive.
So one bigger collision and you'll owe the amount greater than 500. Three separate small ones of less than 500 and you're ok.
With 1100, owing 600, you might want to let it ride unless your insurance won't take a hit with declaration. A lot of other companies have a 400 or so fee at leases's end anyway at termination. Regardless, you still have 2 x 500 more............ -
car_bhun Posts: 1Saw this on legend leasing
Is it a good deal compared to dealers or can I get dealer to give me better. -
iwannagr8lease Posts: 42
jipster Posts: 5,345Got rear ended at stop sign today. No joke. Unbelievable.
They thought I was going, nice jolt and crunch. Thought no damage initially when looking at rear bumper. Took to body shop, does have a small crease/dent. NOTICEABLE.But, not bad. Thought $200-$300. It's $599! Have to remove rear bumper and repaint. Other driver gave me Insurance info, Safe Auto. I called, it's lapsed. :sick:
So, if repair was $100 less Honda would pay for. Don't know if they would require I fix as hardly NOTICEABLE. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
will_ksu Posts: 8Car_man,
Thanks in part to the information you provided (Ford Focus, Mazda 3, etc) I ended up getting a 2013 Honda Civic LX Automatic Sedan (Dyno Blue Pearl, to be precise) with no options. The details, for those interested:
$18422 Negotiated Price
-$500 Flex Cash (Ended up being $100 from Honda, $400 from dealer due to their mistake)
+$595 Acquisition Fee
+$149 Dealer Fee
+$5 State Fees
-$0 down
There may be some other things in there as well I don't remember at the moment, but in the end I have a lease payment of about $226/mo. This includes local 8.55% sales tax. They also took in my old leased vehicle that I was going to have to pay to have some wear & tear replaced & that also had a trade-in value less than my residual. I think I would have preferred either the Focus or Mazda 3 as a car, but neither was worth at least an extra $25/mo in payments (not to mention higher insurance and registration costs).
So, thanks for your help!

lakerskobe Posts: 31Why didn't you just go with the Honda subsidized lease?
http://automobiles.honda.com/current-offers-detail.aspx?modelname=Civic%20Sedan&- offerid=70133&modelid=FB2F5DEW&sf=2&ft=2 -
will_ksu Posts: 8If you do the math, it ends up being cheaper than the subsidized lease:
Subsidized, $0 down, $0 first payment, $230/month for 35 months-
($230/month)*(1.0855 sales tax)*(35 months)=$8738 plus other fees
My deal, $0 down, $225.60/month for 36 months-
($225.60/month)*(36 months)=$8122 Total over 36 months (includes taxes)
I basically ended up with a deal costing me at least $600 less over the life of the lease compared with the subsidized lease, probably closer to $800 when dealer & state fees are included. Kansas collects sales tax from the buyer on all payments, rebates, incentives, dealer fees, etc, with the exception of the state $1.00 tire fee and manufacturer to dealer incentives.
I don't wish to show the math for it, as I didn't even consider placing a down payment, but the $169/mo, $2299 due at signing deal is actually more expensive than either my deal or even the $230/mo, $0 due at signing deal. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
lakerskobe Posts: 31
will_ksu Posts: 8Just to be clear, the $225.60/month is everything: taxes, fees, & whatever else included. All fees are covered by the lease payment & I never had to pay anything other than the $225.60 for the first month when I signed the papers. The only other things I'll ever have to pay on this car are fuel, maintenance, insurance, and yearly property/registration taxes (handled at the county courthouse, never paid at the dealership in Kansas).
My Civic was leased at the end of April through Honda Financial at the same terms as their promoted leases (MF=0.00111, Residual=63%), but I negotiated a better selling price than those offered by the promoted leases. -

1saluki Posts: 1I am going in this weekend to look at leasing a 2013 Honda Civic EX-L with 12,000 miles a year. I have searched the board ans seen a few monthly figures but would anyone care to tell me what they believe a good deal would be on this car?
I can put money down or just first payment and fees up front.
Thanks -

Comfortable, waterproof
This is my second pair, now I have black and beige. so comfortable, I use them as my walking shoes as well.

Great Shoe
This is a very comfortable shoe from the get-go and provides good traction. I probably wouldn't wear in wet/muddy conditions, but I don't often golf in those conditions.
I also wear these for casual around town and even to work out when I'm traveling and don't want to take too many pairs of shoes.
They look a little like bowling shoes, but I get many compliments on them.

not as expected
I thought that I would love these shoes but they were not as expected. I ususally wear LoPro because I have low ankle bones. These shoes were cut too high for me and the tongue really cut into my ankle as well. They would be great for someone with very small ankles. I returned them and purchased the FJ lo-pro summer series spikeless and they are amazing. Exactly what I wanted.

Comfortable from the Start
Extremely comfortable - even right out of the box! Liked the tan color so it doesn't show dirt as much since it is more of a fabric than leather. Played one of my best games ever! Must have been the shoe :-)

Corporate reporting needs to be brought into the 21st century by integrating material sustainability information into corporate reports, asserts ACCA today ahead of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, which will take place in Rio, Brazil in mid June 2012.
To influence policy makers and create debate prior to the Rio+20 summit, ACCA has published a paper which looks at possible changes to a key aspect of the discussions – paragraph 41 – which is concerned with the integration of material sustainability information into the corporate reports of listed and large private companies.
Rachel Jackson, head of sustainability at ACCA says: 'To make a difference, Rio+20 needs to have goals that are achievable and actionable – one of those goals should focus on the need for a global approach to sustainability reporting. Long term value is enhanced by companies embedding sustainability into their business strategy and key processes, rather than treating sustainability information as a mere add on activity. The long term viability of companies has to be at the heart of corporate decision making.
'An effective and workable paragraph 41 would emphasise the relevance of sustainability to investors and business. It would spread good practice, and emphasise the relevance of sustainability to investors and businesses. Rio+20 should be aiming for this goal – not just for companies and investors, but for the planet itself.'
ACCA believes that:
- paragraph 41 should lead to a commitment by UN Member States to develop mechanisms for sustainability reporting at a national level; while such national reporting would need to meet global standards, flexibility in the mechanisms applied to meet the standards would allow for country-specific solutions
- paragraph 41 should obligate companies to report on a 'comply-or-explain' basis; this requirement would provide appropriate flexibility and would stimulate substantive board discussions on risks and opportunities arising from sustainable development.
Rachel Jackson adds: 'There is a ground swell of opinion on this issue, led most recently by Aviva Investors through a coalition of investors, NGOs and UN agencies, as well as ACCA. This coalition recently called for a commitment from UN Member States to work on an international agreement requiring companies to integrate sustainability issues in their annual report and accounts, on a report or explain basis. The coalition believes this would be a realistic, tangible and meaningful success.
'However, whatever the policy outcome at Rio+20, there will be a need for rigorous and credible arrangements to map out and assess the fulfilment of any undertaking, whether voluntary or binding. This is where accountants come in – the profession provides the much needed transparency, measurement and comparability required for common international reporting.'
ACCA's paper includes a series of expert views on this issue from our Global Forum for Sustainability members and other voices from the accountancy profession; the Forum was established in 2011 to bring together leading thinking on sustainability and the role of accountants.
Vincent Neate, Head of Climate Change and Sustainability at KPMG says that 'as global businesses heads to Rio for the 20th anniversary of the Earth Summit, there are reasons to be hopeful, but also some harsh criticism to be faced. Leading businesses know the importance of sustainability and responsibility but we do need to accelerate their adoption as corporate values. The question of what role transparency should play in that acceleration is a vital one.'
Victor Anderson, Senior Policy Officer at WWF UK, adds: 'The most important fact about Rio is likely to turn out to be that it is not the end of the process. It is increasingly clear that it has acted as a major catalyst for debates, campaigns, and detailed work, and that all this will continue for many years after Rio.'
ACCA's policy paper was written whilst the text on corporate sustainability reporting was still in its former placing of paragraph 24 of the Rio+20 Outcome Document.

Corey Hart > Jim Edmonds
Baseball April 1st, 2010
I wouldn't call myself a big Corey Hart fan. In my personal rankings of "Brewers I like to make fun of whenever possible" he ranks right below Ryan Braun. This isn't to say that I don't like Corey Hart as a baseball player, I just think he's, well, mostly pointless. He's valuable when he's good and I like him, but when he's not good I have no use for him. (Unlike Rickie Weeks who struggles and I make ten thousand excuses for.) If Corey Hart falls off the cliff I'll be the first one calling for his head, but if he breaks out as a star I'll be clamoring for the Brewers to keep him. My feelings on Corey are 100% performance based. I don't really care about Corey Hart either way and I refuse to watch The Blind Side no matter how badly he wants me to.
Now, Corey Hart has struggled mightily this spring (something like 1 for 27) and the Brewers spring training invitee Jim Edmonds has been doing pretty well for himself. So well that the Brewers are considering making right field into a platoon with Edmonds taking most of the at-bats against right handed pitching. This makes pretty good sense. A quick look at his splits show that throughout his career Jim Edmonds has killed right handed pitching (career .954 OPS (!)) and that Corey Hart has fared better against left handers (career OPS .854). Beyond that, as a career center fielder Edmonds should be better, possibly a lot better defensively in right. This is the kind of move you like to see your team making. A smart decision based in performance and giving the team the best chance to win. I really want to get behind this move except there is one minor detail that the team seems to be completely ignoring and that's the fact that.. Read the rest of this entry »

This fluorescent protein is made through cloning from Trachyphyllia geoffroyi. It emits a strong green light after synthesis, but when stimulated by ultraviolet laser illumination, changes its color from green to red, like a maple tree in autumn. Its name is derived from this characteristic ("kaede" means "maple tree" in Japanese). When violet (or ultraviolet) laser illumination is directed onto a Kaede-expressing cell, diffusion of the reddish Kaede can be monitored throughout the whole area of the cell, providing an easy and accurate method to label the entire cell.
Whole cell labeling with Kaede
Kaede-expressing astroglia cells are stacked on the Kaede-expressing neurons. By illuminating two colonies with a 405nm laser, the Kaede color can be photoconverted from green to red. The glial cells in contact with the neurons are observed while they are forming colonies and extending their processes, and the nuclei of these colonies can also be observed. The FV1200 SIM scanner makes it easy to change cell colors from green to red while conducting an observation, and to control neutral colors between red and green.

When Kaede is expressed in the cytoplasm of a live cell, it shows a high-speed diffusion coefficient value (about 30�m2/s) in spite of its tetramic structure. Taking advantage of this property, the movements of Kaede-labeled molecules in the cell can be observed. Since Kaede photoconversion requires only minimal laser light, less intense than that used in ordinary photobleaching, protein trafficking can be observed with less perturbation to the cell or organism.
Diffusion Measurement Techniques:
The FV1200 Diffusion Measurement Package uses confocal images to analyze molecular interactions and movements within cells. There are 4 main techniques embodied in the software package.
Point FCS
Point Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) analyzes the fluctuations in signal as fluorescently labeled particles move in and out of a confocal volume. Diffusion coefficients, rates of transport or conformational changes can be measured. Molecular concentration can be determined by quantifying the number of fluorescent molecules in the observation volume.
- High time resolution and spatial resolution.
- Good for fast particle movement or small molecule diffusion in solution.
- Data from single location through Point Scanning.
- Able to analyze cross correlations which reduce the background contribution.
- Outputs or results are given as diffusion constant and number of molecules.
Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS)
Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy is a powerful new technique covering a range of different diffusion speeds. The basis of this technique is that the time difference between pixels in the X direction is microseconds but pixels of lines in the Y direction differ by milliseconds, and frame to frame by seconds. Correlating over these 3 different time scales can identify different mobilities. Because the diffusion is calculated from images, the results indicate the spatial distribution of the diffusion constant across the image, that is, in different regions of the cell.
Measurement in regions.- A spatial mapping of diffusion time constant and local concentration.
- Based on both time and spatial correlation.
- Can handle multiple diffusion time scales.
- From protein in solution (medium diffusion time scale) to protein on cell membrane (slow diffusion time scale).
Outputs or results are given as Diffusion Constant and Number of Molecules as a function of location.
Cross-Correlation Cross-correlation analysis such as point FCCS or ccRICS measures protein interactions.- A tool to assess the interaction (binding) of two groups of fluorescently labeled molecules or proteins.
- Determine how many molecules are binding.
- Data acquisition from two simultaneous channels.
- Able to measure wide range of applications.
- Cross correlation signal exists only if observed in both channels.
Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a method for analyzing molecular movements. It measures diffusion rates, tethering of molecules to cellular structural components and the separation speed of molecular complexes.
The FV1200 SIM scanner further improves FRAP performance. Instead of the conventional method of alternating between photobleaching and imaging, this system conducts both procedures at the same time, enabling reliable capture of even rapid molecular movements. For instance, while conducting an observation with the main scanner laser, the user can use a second laser to carry out photobleaching on a particular targeted area. As a result, the rapid movements of fluorescence molecules that come from outside the targeted area immediately after photobleaching are not overlooked.
Example of FRAP:
Fluorescence loss in photobleaching (FLIP) is another method for analyzing molecular movements. The FV1200 SIM scanner system optimizes FLIP operation, allowing constant measurement of fluorescence intensities outside the photobleached area.
Example of FLIP:
Photo Activatable-Green Fluorescent Protein (PA-GFP) can be used to mark targeted cells, organelles and proteins. The SIM scanner allows illumination of any designated area at any time. In the following photos, 405nm laser excitation is conducted intermittently on part of a PA-GFP expressing cell, and time-lapse changes of fluorescent signals on different points of the cell are monitored. This provides information about protein diffusion within the cell.
Example of PA-GFP:
Dronpa is a new fluorescent protein with photochromic properties that enable it to be reversibly switched on and off. Using photo activation like PA-GFP, this method is suitable for observation of molecular movement, but has unique additional functions.
- Since fluorescence emission is extremely faint before activation of PA-GFP, it is difficult to confirm expression and cell fixation before imaging. By contrast, Dronpa provides very bright fluorescence signals before activation, so that expression and cell fixation are easy to confirm.
- Photochromism appears broadly similar to photo bleaching, with fluorescence intensity reduced by irradiation with a strong 488nm laser. However, fluorescence intensity reduced by photochromism is readily restored with illumination from a faint 405nm laser. As a result, user-selected control of fluorescence intensity using 405nm (for excitation) and 488nm (for imaging) enables repeated photo activation experiments on the same cell.
- The fluorescence intensity before fading and previous photo activation results are used as control values, which makes experiments more accurate and reliable.
FRET is the phenomenon by which the excitation energy of fluorescent molecules transfers to other fluorescent molecules, with the degree of transfer efficiency depending on the relative positions of two molecules. FRET allows observation of the interaction between two protein molecules, analysis of structural changes and imaging of the calcium concentration in cells.
- Equipped with FRET analysis functions using the Ratio Imaging method, Acceptor Photobleach method and Sensitized Emission method.
- For the Acceptor Photobleach method, a wizard dialog allows easy and reproducible experimental setup.
Acceptor bleach can be set easily using wizard setting.
Calcium concentration measurement by FRET using YC3.60 (Yellow Cameleon 3.60) Cameleon reporter molecules function by FRET occurring between two fluorescent moieties linked by a calcium binding site. When calcium is bound, a conformational change increases the FRET efficiency and this change can be used as a measure of calcium concentration. Due to structural improvement using circular permutation, YC3.60 offers superior performance and achieves a relatively high rate of change. Among other advantages, it allows high precision, high-speed calcium concentration imaging, which is difficult by conventional methods. In the above ratio image photos, YC3.60 is expressed on HeLa cells with calcium concentration changes captured when they are stimulated by histamine.

The Use of Wide-Scale Imaging to Study Retinal Cells in Wholemounts
Dr. Steven Fisher, Research Professor, Neuroscience Institute; Professor Emeritus, Cellular Molecular & Developmental Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara
Delivered at the Imaging Symposium sponsored by Olympus at the Society of Neuroscience annual meeting on November 15th, 2010.
Long-term, efficient time-lapse of multiple live cells
In addition to tiled images covering a large area, time-lapse observation of multiple regions can be scheduled. The software allows easy setup of imaging multiple wells in a microtiter well plate containing cells under different conditions. These functions dramatically improve throughput of experiments requiring long-term observation.
Scanning Modes:
Live plot function
Changes in fluorescent intensity in a region designated as ROI are plotted in real-time during image acquisition.
Live tile mode, Look back function
This allows the user to check the acquired images during time-lapse experiment. Adjustment of focus and/or image brightness can be done during rest time.
High-speed image acquisition (4KHz/line)
High-speed scanning mode can capture confocal images at 16 frames per second with 256 x 256 pixel resolution. In combination with clip scanning, images can be acquired even faster than video rate.
Wide variety of scanning modes
Observation of complex time-lapse combined with Z or λ dimensions is possible. Line scanning for a straight line, slanted line or freely drawn curve enables easy analysis of rapid changes on the order of milliseconds.
Trigger function
The system also has a trigger function for synchronizing scanning with external devices. Scanning can be started/stopped with a trigger signal and it is also possible to use an external trigger for each image frame acquisition.
Laser monitoring function
Feedback is applied to the laser output so that the sample is always exposed to a fixed level of excitation light and the amount of fluorescence can be measured accurately.
Time Course:
Complex protocols can be constructed using the Time Controller. Ramp laser power and detection parameters, create nested loops and other special protocols.
Using the Time Controller to schedule experiment flows and protocols
The Time Controller allows image acquisition conditions to be changed easily while observation is in progress. In addition to experiments such as FRAP and FLIP, the following protocols are supported:
1. Image acquisition while storing data on the hard disk.
2. Changing time-lapse intervals during the course of an experiment.
3. Image acquisition while changing the excitation laser in mid-procedure.
4. Data output from a specified point, using an external trigger.
5. After acquisition of reference images, laser intensity and excitation area can be changed.
The experiment protocol can be entered from the taskbar in the protocol schedule area. Settings can be entered freely by clicking and dragging the mouse on the column of items to be scheduled.
Stimulation Applications
Photostimulation, optogenetics, photobleaching, photoconversion, photoactivation and uncaging can be accomplished using the laser light stimulation function (Stimulus Setting). Laser light stimulation experiments can be done using the laser light stimulation setting function (Stimulus Setting). Laser light stimulation experiments can be done with either the main scanner (image scanner) or SIM scanner. Systems that only have the main scanner can perform laser light stimulation during a time course by automatically switching the laser scanning mode (laser wavelength, laser irradiation range). However, images cannot be acquired during laser light stimulation.
- Tornado scanning can also be used for laser light stimulation. This is suitable for FRAP, Kaede protein and other photoconversion experiments.
- In intensity analysis, the timing of laser light stimulation is displayed simultaneously with the changes in fluorescent light intensity.
3D Rendering
Selectable rendering modes
Interactive volume rendering
Using the interactive volume rendering method with the 3D display function, the angle of a 3D rendered image can be freely changed to the direction you wish to see by moving the mouse. A variety of display functions are available, including extended focus images and the ability to display a cross section at an arbitrary location.
4D animation creation function
3D structures which change with time can be animated for images acquired with XYZT.
Brightness compensation function for the depth direction
When acquiring 3D images, the images become dimmer with depth. The system is equipped with a function for increasing laser intensity or PMT sensitivity with depth so that images of deeper regions can be acquired with equal brightness.
Image without compensation
Image with compensation
Easy fluorescence separation
Fluorescence can easily be separated through two modes (Normal and Blind). In Normal mode, separation is performed using stored fluorochrome spectra, or data derived from acquired images. In Blind mode, the separation uses an iterative process to derive the best fit of a chosen number of fluorescence spectra.
- 2nm spectral resolution allows two fluorochromes with similar emission peaks to be clearly separated.
- Spectral unmixing is successful even when there are emission intensity differences in each fluorochrome.
- The use of a diffraction grating for linear dispersion ensures accurate spectral analysis.
EGFP (dendrite) � EYFP (synapse) XYλ acquisition conditions Wavelength detection range: 495nm~561nm in 2nm steps Excitation wavelength: 488nm
Rhodamine-Phalloidin (actin) � PI (nucleus) XYλ acquisition conditions Wavelength detection range: 560nm~630nm in 2nm steps Excitation wavelength: 543nm
MitoTracker (mitochondria) � POPO-3 (nucleus) XYλ acquisition conditions Wavelength detection range: 550nm~640nm in 2nm steps Excitation wavelength: 543nm
MitoTracker (mitochondria) � POPO-3 (nucleus)XYλ acquisition conditionsWavelength detection range: 550nm~640nm in 2nm
Analysis of emission intensity overlap
Threshold lines can be set interactively. Setting the ROI on the scatter plot creates a colocalization image highlighting structures with colocalization. Values can also be obtained for Pearson correlation, Manders overlap coefficient and colocalization index.
This method is also applicable for analysis of an image series.
Hardware additions/applications:
FV1200/IX83ZDC (Zero Drift)
Corrects for thermal drift during confocal time-lapse imaging
During long time-lapse observations, temperature changes around the microscope and drug administration during the observation cause thermal drift, resulting in loss of focus. For confocal laser scanning biological microscopes with high resolution in the Z-direction, even slight focal drift can impair image acquisition to the point that images are no longer useful to researchers. Olympus is the world leader in equipping a confocal laser scanning biological microscope with zero drift compensation; it corrects automatically for thermal drift during confocal time-lapse imaging.
- In time-lapse imaging, focus is automatically corrected immediately prior to imaging.
- Compensation is performed in reference to the bottom surface of the dish, allowing target Z-slice images to be obtained regardless of sample conditions.
- Without thermal drift compensation, several Z-slice images must be taken to ensure acquisition of target image plane. Thermal drift compensation eliminates this need and minimizes sample exposure to irradiation.
TIRF (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy)
High S/N images near the cell surface
This special TIRF unit employs the FV1200''''s laser for TIRF illumination. The incident angle of the excitation laser toward the specimen is controlled through FV1200 software FV10-ASW, to set up the necessary laser filtering light volume. The optimum light path length is provided automatically through the selection of excitation wavelength and the objective. Since TIRFM observation can be done by exchanging confocal observation, protein localization on the cell surface and cross section images of the cell interior may be acquired simultaneously. A CCD is required for TIRFM image acquisition and image-capturing software is required. Note that time-lapse imaging by interchanging CCD and confocal images and then overlapping them is not possible.
Features | Acquisition of high S/N images at 50-200nm depths from the specimen surface (surface observation only). | Allows observations from the surface to the intracellular structure. Capable of 3D observation for each Z-axis position. |
Acquisition of high S/N images with minimal influence from the background. | Capable of composing 3D images from slice images. | |
Method | Imaging through CCD camera. Frame rate depends on camera performance. |
Point scanning. Detector incorporates photomultiplier. |

Prosecutors refuse to speak about trial
We chased down lead prosecutor on the case Ken Ramm to try to get some answers, but he wouldn't stop to talk to us.
This case has been rocky from the beginning when prosecutors announced they wouldn't go after the death penalty.
This was a surprise to some, but no one expected the turns this case would take after that. The trial date was pushed back six months so prosecutors could go over DNA. Then just as the trial started, Harper's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the case altogether claiming mismanagement by county prosecutors.
"They haven't provided us with materials needed to prepare for trial," said Harper's lawyer Peter Mazzone.
On top of that, the lead detective made the judge angry when he didn't show up in court.
"You are the lead detective on what has been characterized as one of the most major homicides in Yakima along with two other homicides and you are not here," said Judge Ruth Reukauf. "Are you kidding me?"
We asked the sheriff's office why he wasn't there.
"As I understand it, he was attending to some request made by the prosecutor's office," said Stewart Graham the spokesperson for the sheriff's office.
Graham said the detective didn't know court was in session that it's up to prosecutors to tell him. Then DNA wasn't taken for three people questioned in the murders.
Action News asked why detectives didn't get DNA from those people to start with.
"A number of reasons," said Graham. "One of which has to do with the sheer number of people we talked to."
The biggest turn in the case involved accessing jail conversations between Harper and his lawyer by detectives and prosecutors.
"We had no idea who those calls were being made to," said Graham. "There is no way of knowing."
"Because usually those calls between lawyers and clients are blocked," asked KIMA.
"Yes," said Graham.
But these were not.
"I'm not happy about it," he said. "There are things that I wish could have happened differently and my thoughts have been with the family."
The family is on other people's minds as this case took a turn no one expected.

Ford F-Series Noises - Squeals - Rattles
I have a 1999 F-150. Bought it used. I noticed the other day a slight squeal and clanking noise coming from the passenger side rear area. It sounds to me like the u-joints on the drive shaft are banging around but I'm not sure. It could also be a wheel bearing. The truck is a 4x2. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
twister4 Posts: 180 F350 - New Crate Motor just installed 500 miles ago and removed everything connected to the fan belts or turning over along with the crank. Sounds like a bearing on the crank paking it in to me but I've never experienced this horridly LOUD squealing before in any vehicle. Any Suggestions on an easy find and fix...I did install the engine myself from the crate so taking to the installer under warranty is not an option. Looking for a few serious suggestions without tearing the engine apart just yet.

jasoncarp Posts: 8When accelerating from a stop at a moderate pace I get a shudder out of the rear end like it's not getting enough power. I can creep out of a stop, and jump on it without it doing it. '08 f150 4X4 bought new in 9-08 now have almost 6000 miles. Started about a month ago. It almost like the off road tires are gripping and slipping, but it feels deeper in the rear end.
ferets1 Posts: 3i have an 05 F-150 5.4 i had it in the shop and they could here it but could not figure out what and where it was coming from. mine usually starts the annoying whistle any wheres from 40-60 mph.
how can i get rid of this before it drives me insane!
any info would greatly be appreciated

craftsman82 Posts: 2Hey, I have a 03 F150 with the 4.2 V6, 5sp manual trans. It has 63k miles on it. I dont know if it has the limited slip diff in it. This is what it started doing. If you are coasting up hill and you hit the gas, sometimes it will "bump" or "jolt", similar feeling as if someone lightly bumped you in the rear end. It does not do it all the time, mainly if your coasting uphill, hit the gas and the engine is under a load, almost at the point where you need to shift up a gear. It does not do it at higher RPMs. It does not do it on the interstate. I recently had the oil changed and they added oil to the rear end. Any ideas of what to check. I also filled up the tank, bad/watery gas? Thanks for your help.

kkwrfd Posts: 1Hey had the same problem with mine but it was under warranty. Took it in and they said it was something on the cam ticking. Can't remember honestly what it was called and not near my truck to get paper work out. I have heard a few 04's sound like that besides mine. Also, after the dealer fixed the problem it represented itself again a few months later.
tvollmansr Posts: 2After my 2004 F150 FX sits for a couple of days and I go to start it up, it sounds like a diesel for about 10 seconds until the RPM's come up then the engine settles into a quiet run and the noise goes away. It almost sounds like the engine is dry, like when you change the oil and start it up for the first time after the change is done. It only happens the very first time I start it. This started about 2 months ago. What could be wrong?
celia_nikol Posts: 1I have a 2004 Ford F150 and I regularly get my oil changed every 3000 to 4000 miles. Last Tuesday I went to a mechanic to get my oil changed and as soon as I left my motor began to knock. I took my truck back Wednesday and they said that it is not a problem and I can keep driving on it. On Saturday I took it back because the engine began knocking much harder and shaking. They then claimed they drained a quart of oil out, put Lucas inside, then put a quart of oil back in. On Sunday my truck broke down on the side of the road. My oil pressure was going crazy then the check engine light came on so I pulled on the side of the road and my engine cut off and wouldn't turn back over to start up. The next day, I checked my oil and noticed that there was about double the oil then what was supposed to be in it. When i got it towed back up to their shop on the following Tuesday they claimed they called a Ford dealer and they said what happened with my motor is a common problem. They also said that the oil level was accurate. I asked them to hook the diagnostic computer up to it and they said they had no need to because they knew exactly what the problem was. I asked what the problem was then and they said well it could be my timing chains or it could be my screen, or a few other things. Do you have any advice or an idea of what might have happened? Is this a common problem? What should I do following this because I had absolutely no problems at all with my truck until they changed the oil?
rageiger Posts: 2I had the same problem with my 2004 F150 5.4 i had it towed to the shop they said my oil pump failed but i had no warning lights of any kind.I contacted Ford Corp. they said my warranty was for 60,000 miles i had 80,000 miles on it, nothing they could do for me.I had a Jasper 5.4 put in it out of my pocket because the body is in good shape.

What are you running for, Corey Hart?
Baseball December 10th, 2009
I am nothing if not a people pleaser so when a commenter requested that we do a story about the Brewers being more open to running next year and "what the Brewers are running from?" I had to oblige and present you THE RUNNING SERIES.
Hi, I'm Corey Hart of the Milwaukee Brewers and I want to be your next county commissioner. Are you tired of those potholes on route 11? Are you sick of the graffiti on traffic signs? Can you tell me a good reason we can't turn left on Sage when coming from Swallowtail Drive? Are you, like me, fed up with my opponents lies and rhetoric when it comes to the well being of our beloved county? If you're not you should be and that's why I need good people like you to come support me in this crucial election to decide our county's future. Let's look at the facts.

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. leaves Mayo Clinic
BY NATASHA KORECKI Politics Reporter November 13, 2012 11:08AM
Jesse Jackson Jr. | Getty Images
Updated: November 13, 2012 4:36PM
U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.is no longer a patient at the Mayo Clinic, according to a spokesperson there. The revelation comes as reports persist about a federal investigation into the congressman and it possibly expanding to his wife, Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th).
"As of today he is no longer at the Mayo Clinic," Mayo Clinic spokesman Nick Hanson confirmed through an assistant.
Hanson said he does not know where Jackson is. Jackson was re-elected to his 2nd District seat last week although he made no campaign appearances during his lengthy stay at Mayo for depression and bipolar disorder. Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed was the first to report last week that Jackson is in plea negotiations with federal authorities.
Sneed reported not only is Jackson under investigation for allegedly using campaign funds to decorate his Washington home, but investigators are also trying to determine whether he used campaign funds to buy a $40,000 Rolex watch as a gift for a female friend.
On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal cited sources who said investigators are reviewing evidence suggesting that Sandi Jackson was complicit in any alleged misuse of funds.

When I saw Siggi's Icelandic Style Skyr Strained Non-Fat Yogurt, I really liked the package design - instead of having the label printed on the plastic cup, it was on cardboard wrap around that had a perforated line. The label design was very simple and chic, making me even more eager to taste the yogurt inside. I decided to pony up $1.19 and give it a try.
Skyr is an Icelandic cultured dairy product, similar to strained yogurt (technically it is a very soft cheese). While I had no idea before eating this what "Iceland style Skyr yogurt" was, this reminded me a lot of Greek yogurt. In addition to being decadently thick and creamy, the yogurt had a luscious tart taste that I really liked. Since this was the plain flavor, I enjoyed the texture most of all, and could also see using this as a substitute for sour cream in some recipes.
A 6 ounce serving of Siggi's Plain Yogurt provides 100 calories, no fat, 4 grams of sugar and a whopping 17 grams of protein, as well of 20% of the RDA for calcium.
I found it amazing how low in fat and sugar but high in protein this yogurt is - it makes the perfect healthy snack or breakfast component. The ingredients are simply skim milk, live and active cultures and vegetable rennet.
At $1.19 for the cup, this was a bit pricey, but no more expensive than other Greek yogurts or Organic regular yogurts. I might purchase this again, but probably would wait for it to go on sale and then stock up.

For many trying to avoid butter for health or personal reasons, finding a decent alternative may be a tricky task. Trying to do without the creamy delicious taste of butter is even trickier. Don't even try to go cold turkey. It's impossible! But don't despair. All you need is Earth Balance "Natural" Buttery Spread. This VEGAN butter alternative is made from expeller pressed naturals oils, making it trans fat and cholesterol free. Not to mention it packs in a good dose of healthy omega-3's.
Earth Balance is a MUST HAVE staple in my house. My mom has to watch her cholesterol, one brother is vegan, and the other is a health nut. I am in the middle - I appreciate this healthy alternative to butter and you really can't beat the taste! It is creamy with just the right amount of saltiness, and not the slightest bit fake or oily looking. This stuff spreads just like real butter. At room temp is goes on bread (or anything) really smooth. Somehow, this manages to imitate butter to a tee.
This is not the product to use if you're trying to cut as many calories as you can. Each 1 tablespoon serving provides 100 calories, 11 grams of fat with 3.5 grams being saturated (both are 18% of the daily recommended amount), 120 mg of sodium (5% of the RDA), no carbohydrates or protein. The ingredient list is actually readable, meaning I can pronounce and understand all of what is in this! It reads: Expeller pressed natural oil blend (soybean, palm fruit, canola, and olive), filtered water, pure salt, natural flavor(derived from corn, no msg, no alcohol, no gluten), soy protein, soy lecithin, lactic acid (non-dairy, derived from sugar beets), and naturally extracted anatto for color).
Each 1 pound container has 30 delicious servings and costs around $3.50 at Trader Joe's, but this can also be found at many health food stores. I know some of you are have a mini heart attack just from looking at the nutrition stats for 1 tablespoon of this stuff. This is "all natural" with heart-healthy oils, but let's face it, if you're watching calories and trying to cut them out where you can, then don't even inhale this stuff. If you are vegan or on a gluten free diet, and more into eating natural foods, then definitely try this.

In 1999, the dairy industry filed a suit against the soy industry seeking an injunction against soymilk manufacturers from referring to their product as "milk." Attorneys for the National Fluid Milk Processors argued that "milk" was a liquid substance that came from cow's udders, not beans. Although I have been against the consumption of cow's milk products since 1994 (when Monsanto developed the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone), I was rooting for the dairymen. I wanted them to win. If milk producers gained a victory in the courts, the name soymilk would forever vanish from our language. What would replace it? I was hoping that the soy industry would name their product, "NOT-pus," "NOT-hormones," or "NOT-glue."
You've made your soymilk. Now what? It's steaming hot. There are an infinite number of options to be explored. The SoyToy will be your introduction to an entirely new cuisine. There are an infinite number of ways to enjoy soymilk. Many people buy containers and simply use it on their cereal as a substitute for cow's milk. How boring.
Here's how I usually start my day: I make two quarts of the basic recipe. Add one tablespoon of maple syrup to one pint of soymilk and enjoy the drink hot. What a wonderful way to welcome the sunrise. After that is finished, I add to a second pint either one bouillon cube (I use a brand made from vegetarian stock)

Constant updating of skills is vital to success in any industry. This
is especially true in industries like hair, beauty, nails and spa.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is about keeping up to date
with the latest treatments, products, techniques, equipment and business
developments. If you are an assessor or verifier, CPD is compulsory.
But if you are not an assessor or verifier, it can be equally useful.

As an aid to understanding this new law it should be borne in mind that under their previous tax system incomes from various activities were classified into several categories and a schedular rate was applied to each category. The present system attempts to approach the U. S. system of standardizing the rate on ordinary income from whatever activity. Please return the enclosed memorandum when it has served its purpose.

A recent Daily Beast blog post listing the 13 most useless college majors had a lot of people growling. Journalism and English (among others) apparently fail to give recent college grads a leg up in the job marketplace.
A successful art critic posted a comment that his degree in journalism and medieval history "were as useless as they come," but he'd "do it all over again." Other Beast readers posted comments like this one: "Are liberal arts majors really useless?".
In the immediate aftermath of getting a degree, it may seem like liberal arts and so-called other useless majors aren't as effective as, say, a teaching or engineering degree. I would argue that "useless" degrees can become useful – but in a different way. It just may take longer. Hopefully, college students whose majors are in the "useless" category are or were involved in many extra-curricular activities, which can literally trump "useless" degrees any day. That's actually part of my own story.
After three years at college on track to become an elementary education teacher, I had an epiphany: teaching was absolutely, positively not for me. I didn't just switch majors, I dropped out and fled to southern California where my mother's friend helped me get a job as a copygirl at the Santa Monica Evening Outlook. I impressed my bosses with my work ethic and contributing articles to their "house organ." After five months, they offered me a job as a cub reporter for a new "teen" page, but my mind was already made up. I was going to finish college.
Back at school, I changed my major to English and became an active writer on the student paper, covering hot-button issues of the day which I was passionate about, like equal housing and Stop the War. Within one year, I was named newspaper editor-in-chief, a position which not only led to marriage but a career at a Fortune 500 company. Before I even started looking for a job, GE came to me with an offer: an editorial post at their daily in-house newspaper read by 2,000 employees. I joined the company and overnight, became their highest-paid female employee.
When I moved to Chicago, I tested the advertising waters (not for me) before landing a job as an account executive at a reputable PR firm. PR was my calling and I never waivered from it. When I hung out a PR shingle in 1984, I had no confidence I would succeed, yet here I am 25 years later still doing what I love.
Useless college majors? Not a chance. Just do what you love, follow your heart, and the rest will come. I'm interested in other stories from TCW readers who parlayed a "useless" college major into a meaningful career. Share your comments below.

It takes a lot for me to test out a new cereal since I'm pretty much married to Kashi, Fiber One, and Shredded Wheat. However, I happened to com upon a SUPER deal at Target for Crispix, so I decided, why not try it?
The box describes Crispix as a lightly sweetened cereal has crispy rice on one side and crunchy corn on the other. That description doesn't exactly scream delicious ... and it wasn't. It was just ... okay. Somewhat bland, but not too bad either. I initially tested it out with milk, and ended up adding a banana for sweetness. It might be good with some almonds and dried fruit mixed in a trail mix, or maybe added for crunch into yogurt, but unfortunately, this really isn't a breakfast cereal for this girl. The lack of fiber made me hungry about an hour after I ate it. To be honest, I gave up on it and passed it along to the boy, who will eat just about anything rather than let it go to waste.
Each 1-cup serving of Kellogg's Crispix Cereal provides 110 calories, no fat, 9% of the daily value for sodium (220 mg), 2 grams of protein and 25 grams carbohydrates which includes only 3 grams of sugar but less than 1 gram of fiber. There are no added artificial sweeteners. There is also 70% of your RDA for folic acid and 45% of the RDA for Iron, which are sometimes hard to come by, especially for non meat eaters.
The nutrition facts is probably the most impressive thing about this cereal. I purchased this box of cereal for a measly 84 cents at Target as it was on clearance AND I had a coupon, but it regularly retails for $2.99 a box. I would probably buy it again if I got it for such a low price, but at full price, no thank you!

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
