About art creation in Linux.
I've been a Windows/MacOS Born and raised Graphic Designer all my life. That is up untill a couple of months ago. I've been trying to get into Open Source community so I've been using Fedora Core and as my passion goes towards Typography soon discovered George Williams' Fontforge and decided to finally give it a go.
The result is this website I'm starting. I hope everyone interested in typography and open source creative development will get involved and help create a growing community.

Have You Tried Coconut Water?
It seems like you can't swing a shopping cart these days without hitting a giant display of coconut water.
And with superstar Rihanna on colorful billboards as the new face/body of Vita Coco water, more consumers than ever are considering guzzling the liquid from this tropical nut. While every brand tastes a bit different, many describe the liquid as slightly sweet, with a (duh!) mild coconut flavor and a smooth, slippery feeling to it.
So, to get the skinny on this hot (but cold!) beverage, I spoke with nutritionist Janis Jibrin, M.S., R.D. and asked a few questions:
Q: I've heard the claim that coconut water is more hydrating than water. How can this be?
A: Nothing takes the place of water—it's calorie free, without artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners. The claims about hydration stem from the high potassium content in coconut water—potassium and sodium are electrolytes that leave the body when you sweat. But most exercisers a) don't sweat out so many electrolytes that they become depleted and b) can easily replenish electrolytes at the next meal. And I think that more sodium is lost than potassium, so coconut water probably isn't the ideal re-hydration solution. But, then again, you probably don't need any special hydration—water is just fine.
That said, if you need a break from water, and can spare the 45 calories per cup of unflavored coconut water (although most packages are at or near 2 cups), it's a really good choice because it's so high in potassium.
Potassium helps offset all the sodium in out diet, which, in turn helps reduce blood pressure. Depending on the brand, you get about 325 to 485 mg potassium per cup (8 ounces); by comparison, a banana's got about 423 mg and a cup of orange juice has about 473 mg.
The only strike against coconut water is that at least one brand I've seen contains about 91 mg of sodium per cup—and since most people are already getting too much sodium, why add to the load? When possible, seek out brands with about 30 mg per cup.
And, I'd skip the flavored coconut water unless you count them toward your treat calories—they're too high in calories.
Q: It's funny, when some people think of coconuts, they immediately think rich and fattening. How is coconut water different?
A: When you break open a coconut, the liquid sloshing around in the hollow interior is coconut water. The companies selling this water either pasteurize it and package it, or, they dehydrate it, making a "concentrate" and then add back water before packaging. The white coconut meat is where coconut oil and coconut milk come from. Coconut milk—the thick liquid used in Thai and Indian cooking to make curries—comes from crushing coconut meat, a.k.a. the thick lining just inside the brown exterior. It's very high in calories—about 500 per half cup, because it's so high in fat (about 48 g per half cup). The "light" version is about a fifth as caloric and fatty.
Coconut oil has always been on nutritionist's "bad fats" list because it's so high in saturated fat, which raises blood cholesterol. But now scientists are re-visiting the entire saturated fat/cholesterol/heart disease theory and finding that some types of saturated fat may not be harmful. So, stay tuned for the verdict on coconut oil!
Have you tried coconut water? What do you think?

Usually said of the male gender, an accomplished tinkerer will spend hours taking a watch apart so he can put it back together again. Hes the guy with the bikes, vehicle body parts, snowmobiles, and golf carts cluttering his backyard.
Retired husbands who fritter time away are continuously getting into hot water with their significant others. When she sends him to the grocery store, he could very well end up missing for hours with melted ice cream in his scooter basket. He may not be the official greeter at the local get-and-go, but he might just as well be. The retired wife does her own frittering. Shes knitting her two-hundredth potholder and has had four garage sales in two months.
The obsessive housewife who constantly engages in Nervous Nellie busy-ness is flirting with premature hip replacement surgery. Often Ive wished I could have back all the fruitless hours I frittered away, fussing and fretting over dust in corners, sticky fingerprints, spotted windows, and keeping everything in its proper place. Whats a little dust and lots of clutter among friends!
Dawdling in retirement can become a fanatical way of life for curious slowpoke types. Lollygagging is an extension of dawdling, good for your well- being at any age (when you can get away with it.) These easygoing minds wander right past the stressful stuff. With their heads in the clouds, those who dawdle together blather together. They go from lollygagging as kids to hobnobbing adults. What could it hurt?
Much like puttering, fiddling around is more like fidgeting. These types are extremely annoying in classrooms and in the cramped quarters of Volkswagens One particular remembrance concerning my son as an antsy kid took place at church services. During the handshaking part, I couldnt help but notice him, as did everyone else, fidgeting and jerking frantically to remove his hand from his pants pocket, later telling us that his finger had been stuck in a hole in his pocket. I guess you had to be there.
Im often guilty of blathering on and on. I guess one could label such types prattlers. My blabber-weary husband has mastered the defense of selective hearing. This may be one of retirements perks, worthy of consideration. That goes both ways, guys!
Often one discovers a spouses true character during retirement, and it isnt always pretty! Hubby is geared up to go on more of those fishing and hunting trips now that he no longer punches a time clock. Wrong! It seems the tables have been turned his dedicated, homebody wife now joins the girls daily for Happy Hour downtown, goes out playing bingo three nights a week, and throws her unmentionables on the bathroom floor. He, however has acquired an extended Honey do list.
With an abundance of time on their hands, senior citizens often hang out at the local café to catch up on the latest talk about town. Since well-seasoned memory banks are overdrawn, no harm is done. Even if we do remember the rumor, we likely heard it wrong and, besides, at this age everything is old hat anyhow.
E-Harmony bologna! Who says that a puttser cant make beautiful music with a fussbudget, or that a tinkerer cant appreciate a prattler? Retirement is a new beginning! Try it! Youll like it!

Five Steps To Overcoming the "Jolts" of Life
When disaster strikes our life, we're often simply overwhelmed. As we saw during the 2011 tsunami in Japan, entire towns were wiped off the map, and all these years later, we're still seeing news reports of problems with the clean up. When a country like that is in chaos, where do we begin when problems happen? Even more important, how do we deal with the "meltdowns" we face in our lives? In my book "Jolt! Get the Jump on a World That's Constantly Changing" I show you how to Read the full article »
How To Say No
Whenever I speak on this subject I always get a positive response from the audience. We all know that we get pulled into more things than we can possibly do, and most of the time it's because we just can't say "no." And especially as Christians, we feel the obligation to be nice all the time, so we really hate to turn people down. But the bottom line is Read the full article »
What Traveling in India Taught Me About Processing Email
For the last 10 days Kathleen and I have been in India, teaching at the Young Creative Leaders Conference in Kolkata and Chennai. In India, we're about 12 hours different from our Cooke Pictures office in Los Angeles, and our clients across the United States. That means when I get up in the morning, the workday in the U.S. is done; and when I go to bed, it's just starting. Since we've been teaching all day, and then going out for dinner with the leaders, I could only check email in the early morning and late evening. So here's what I learned: Read the full article »
Do You Really Know Your Priorities?
I'll never forget when one of my wife's best friends had a baby. She was a dedicated career woman, who decided after a few nervous months at home that she would hire a nanny so she could go back to work and resume her career. Everything seemed fine for a while, until one day she came home from work to hear the excited nanny cry out in joy, "Guess what? Today the baby walked for the first time! You should have seen it!" At that moment, the mom froze in horror. For the first time since her baby's birth, she realized that by going back to work, all the "firsts" in her child's life would be experienced by someone else. That jolt was like an explosion. She dropped her briefcase, called her boss, immediately resigned from her job, and never Read the full article »
The Importance of Eliminating Distractions
If wrestling with my daily priorities is one of my biggest challenges, then dealing with distractions is a close second. I don't think I'm fully A.D.D., but I may be one of the most easily distracted people on the planet. My daughter Bailey may have inherited this terrible trait from me. My mind literally races all the time. From the moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep, it's going at light speed. That means I rush through things, multi-task unnecessarily, and juggle way too much. I'm a terrible driver because

7 Diet Mistakes & Fast Fixes
You were so good all week. But then you snuck a donut...and then another. To get back on track quickly, start here.
By Denise Foley
Special Offers
Theres that dreaded point in every diet for me, its after the first 10 pounds when you start to slack off a little. You skip lunch one Saturday, and later that night at a restaurant with your husband, youre so ravenous that you order the salad, the soup, the entrée, and two glasses of chardonnay. Uh-oh, you think, Ive blown it. And then you really blow it by sampling half the dessert cart.
To avoid facing the bad news, you go incommunicado with your scale. Feeling defeated, you begin to slack off even more and, before you know it, those 10 pounds are back. Now you have to muster the motivation to lose that stubborn weight all over again.
Can you say yo-yo dieting? Its a cycle, but its not unbreakable. The first step toward success: Learn how to deal with setbacks. I always tell people to fail fast the idea is to recognize your error but avoid wallowing in it, says Holly Wyatt, M.D., whos with the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR). One mistake isnt going to reverse everything youve worked for. Here, Dr. Wyatt and other weight-loss experts offer quick fixes for seven common diet goofs, plus tips on how to avoid future slipups.

The most common treatment for several types of thyroid imbalances is some form of synthetic thyroid hormone. Some medical doctors will recommend natural thyroid hormones as an alternative to the synthetic form. Unfortunately, regardless of what they recommend most medical doctors consider this to be a permanent recommendation. This means that once you are put on a thyroid hormone, they will assume you will always be on it. The big question is whether or not this is really necessary.
Some People Will Take Thyroid Hormones the Rest of their life
There is no doubt that there are certain instances in which people will need to take thyroid hormones, either synthetic or natural, for the rest of their life. This is particularly true if you receive a partial thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine treatment. There are even cases where people who haven't had surgery or received radioactive iodine treatment will end up taking thyroid hormones for the rest of their life. Unfortunately, this is something which cannot always be avoided.
At the same time, people who develop conditions such as hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis may not need to be on thyroid hormones forever. This is because most thyroid deficiencies involve multiple components. For example, if you have an autoimmune thyroid disorder then addressing the underlying cause may provide your thyroid an opportunity to resume normal levels of functioning. As a result, you would no longer need to take synthetic or natural thyroid hormones.
How to Correct the Underlying Cause of Your Thyroid Disorder
The key to correcting the underlying cause of your thyroid disorder is knowing what it actually is. The problem is your body is a very complex machine which can make diagnosing a singular underlying cause difficult. As a result, some medical professionals will attempt to address some of the most common causes of thyroid dysfunction at the outset. While trial and error doesn't sound very appealing, it is sometimes the only option available.
Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to correct these other problems which do not require prescription medication or lengthy tests. One of the easiest places to start is by determining whether or not you have any mineral deficiencies. There are a variety of popular supplements which can be taken on a regular basis. The best part is many of these supplements are not only designed to promote improved thyroid balance but total body balance. For example, BodySlim Mediterranean is a 10 ingredient mix which works with various aspects of your body which could be affecting your thyroid function. There are also more targeted supplements, such as ThyroLife Iodine, which are designed to target specific deficiencies – in this case iodine.
There are also a number of different techniques you can use to balance your thyroid hormones, outside of synthetic options. The most popular natural option is using bioidentical hormones. There is also a growing number of natural remedies which have shown to improve thyroid function in some cases, such as increasing your intake of specific isoflavones. Improving your overall immune system health is often an essential step as well.
There is Always Hope
As long as your thyroid has not been removed or has completely shut down, there is hope that you will not need to take thyroid hormones for the rest of your life. The key is identifying the underlying cause of your thyroid dysfunction and taking proactive steps to remedy it. While this may be a longer process than you would like, it is still your best chance of eliminating the need of taking synthetic thyroid hormones on a regular basis.

Mid-week at the University of Georgia at Athens, where I went to undergraduate journalism school, a group of top editors of the independent student news organization The Red and Black walked off the job and created an alternative Wordpress site to report the news.
The editors and alumni were angered because, during the summer, the nonprofit news organization that owns The Red and Black hired a consultant who was also a member of said nonprofit's board. It began planning to use more professionals in the production process and to return to print five days a week after adopting a "digital first" mentality and reduced printing schedule a year ago. The resulting Web traffic (and I assume income) apparently disappointed board members.
But the biggest threat to the students was the elevation of a professional editorial adviser to editorial "director," with the mission to edit and advise the students and approve content before publication. The changes were conveyed to the new student editor, Polina Marinova, who had spent the summer interning at CNN, as a fait accompli, and the paper's editorial director shared with her a poorly written draft memo from the consultant.
The memo spoke about maintaining standards. It also misspelled the word "libel" as "liable," and contained this gem:
Sarcastic comments directed at our audience in non-opinion sections, ie "It's been a solid, Lilly Pulitzered week…" We wouldn't say it's be [sic] a solid Yarmulke topped week at the Jewish Community Center. Or a solid burr-headed week at the African American studies conference. Or a solid body pierced day at The Red and Black. Stop this now.
And that's before it got into a discussion of balance between "GOOD" and "BAD" content, describing "BAD" as, "I guess this is journalism." The phrase soon launched a hashtag on Twitter: #iguessthisisjournalism.
The memo quickly fell right into the hands of news outlets like Gawker: "College Newspaper Memo: Cut Down on Journalism, Don't Describe African Americans as 'Burr-headed,'" read the site's headline.
All of this is mighty painful for alumni of The Red and Black, people who spent just about every waking student moment at the newspaper that was founded in 1893. When it existed on campus as a student organization, it faced battles with the administration several times as it reported on campus controversies or news like campus crime and administration issues that reflected poorly on those that controlled the paper's funding. The newspaper went financially and editorially independent in 1980, only the second large student newspaper to do so, after the Florida Alligator at the University of Florida. I was at The Red and Black in late 1980 and 1981.
The conflict has gotten a lot of coverage beyond Gawker, including a story in The New York Times. But the report from Michael Koretzky*, a regional representative of the Society of Professional Journalists, hurt the most, because it showed that possible reinstatement of the students who walked out and the elimination of prior review of their work are only the first steps in fixing what appears to be a dysfunctional situation. And Sara Gregory's reporting for the Student Press Law Association from afar, using all the tools of traditional reporting as well as social media, exhaustively documented the case.
Friday, in what is hopefully the beginning of a healing process, the consultant who wrote the memo apologized and resigned, the editorial director agreed to change his title to "adviser," and he agreed not to require prior content review before publication. The university's Grady School of Journalism also weighed in after the meeting with its own memo.
The Friday discussions following a new-student open house at the paper as well as online also noted that the nonprofit's bylaws leave room for two non-voting students to sit on the board. An active, young board member has not joined the board in recent years, and several members have been on it for the last 30 years, including president Elliott Brack.
The day wasn't all healing, though. The news organization's current publisher tussled with a reporter from another campus news outlet who was filming during the meeting, and the incident was caught on cell phones, tweeted, and posted on YouTube. Gawker followed up on that angle too. It breaks my heart, because I've met the publisher and consider him a good guy.

Watch: Shilpa Ray Releases New Video "Nocturnal Emissions"
Just in time for election day, Shilpa Ray releases a music video about reproductive rights:
The song was inspired by the comments made by Representative Todd Aikin, who stated that women who are raped will not conceive since "the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." Ray, who has wondered aloud how this whole discussion would go if we were talking about men, decided to take matters into her own hands (wink wink) and make a song about how guys kill off millions of lives each time they do the salami solo.
The video, which features controversial soundbites regarding women's reproductive rights (including Aikin's), as well as men protesting for their own right to nocturnal emissions, was created to raise awareness, making people turn the tables on men to see just how ridiculous these conservative beliefs are.
Ray, who has toured with Man Man and Acid Mother's Temple, is currently working on a solo release.

Secretary of the Treasury Hank Paulson appeared Sunday morning on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos to address a range of difficult topics. Paulson's words sought to lend comfort, but his manner undercut any assurance they might have offered.
To say Paulson appeared anxious and scattered is like saying the housing market has taken a slight breather from growth. Paulson was a study in internal conflict, looking and talking as if he could barely contain a rising hysteria.
Stephanopoulos warmed up by questioning Paulson on the government's plans to bail out investment bank Bear Stearns after their mortgage-backed securities went sour, threatening the collapse of the institution. "My primary concern is the stability of our financial system, the orderliness of the markets," Paulson stammered. In less than 24 hours since then, events have unfolded furiously, with JPMorgan Chase & Co. agreeing to take over Bear for $2 a share, still backed by the Federal Reserve.
Stephanopoulos moved on. "A lot of people look at the fact that the government now is funneling money to a major bank and say, 'If you can do that with a bank, why not do it with strapped homeowners facing foreclosure?'
Paulson paid strenuous lip service to the notion that the administration was helping homeowners under financial stress. "We're working very hard to prevent those foreclosures that are preventable. 92% of the homeowners in America are making their mortgage payments every month on time, foreclosures are roughly 2% … We have programs that are aimed at homeowners who want to stay in their homes .. and can afford to stay in their homes. There have been over a million homeowners that have been helped through workouts through the administration's proposals since July."
But the market reality emerged at last. "What's going on right now is an inevitable decline, and a necessary decline, in home prices," Paulson acknowledged. "From 2002 to 2006 we saw unsustainable home price increases, largely in four states, in Florida, California, Arizona, Las Vegas…you can't have that kind of appreciation without having some sort of correction."
Stephanopoulos leaned in: "So no more government action right now?"
Paulson deflected the question. "I'm looking very carefully at any proposal. But all the ones I've seen, which call for much more government intervention, raise more problems and do more harm than they would do good."
Paulson unquestionably sits in a torturous hot seat, torn between those who demand that the free market be left to sort out the problem, and those who call for government intervention to cushion the pain. In the end, though, whatever relief the government may offer to homeowners, the market will inevitably seek and eventually find its own level.

Honda Element
cwalti Posts: 185To me the expected changes in the '07 are minor. How often do flog an Element wide open, the only time when the extra 10 hp come into play. The 5-speed auto would be nice, but again it isn't a critical component. Seatbelt shmeetbelt, 99.9% of the time I will be driving solo, so who cares. VSA only comes into play under some specific circumstances where it can be a saver but more than likely will not make the difference between crashing and getting out of it, because 99.99% of all drivers aren't good enough drivers to react correctly, which is why they get into an out of control situation to begin with. I have driven crude no-frills cars through the alps during snowstorms at night and near zero visibility, whatever I will find here in SoCal cannot even come close... :-)
cwalti Posts: 185Shift levers for fly by wire, and electronic controlled transmission, cars can be mounted anywhere one's heart desires, as can the throttle. Either is nothing more then a set of contacts or a pot and a wire loom exiting from there. Due to practicality reasons and space availability you will certainly NOT see that shifty thingy anywhere near the floor, it would be more likely roof mounted...
1racefan Posts: 932I agree with you -
I don't have the brochure with me, but I remember there being something in the Element brochure about the shifter being up high on the dash to free us space down on the floor.
I get a kick out of hearing people say they will buy an Element as soon as the shifter gets moved to the floor, or the 4 doors open independently of one another, or when it gets power seats, or a power sunroof, or carpeting...
Well, IMO, the Element isn't intended for these people - they need to shop the CR-V!!! -
pizark Posts: 1I have an '05 Element EX,... LOVE IT! (and that's coming from a guy who used to drive a pimped out yellow S2000).
I think someone on this forum said it best that the Element is, "The ultimate status symbol for people who don't care about status symbols."
Anyways... I'm looking forward to the '07, even thinking about a possible trade... especially the model with the projector beam headlights.
Don't have any kids, so the rear seat access hasn't been an issue... but it really is a pain in the butt to use in parking lots. I swear that I'd be so much happier if Honda made a sliding rear door (mini-vanish, i kno).
Anyone else who owns an element hearing a clicking sound from the driver-side seatbelt area around the left ear??? bugs the crap out of me but don't know if it's worth getting serviced for. -
applejf Posts: 401racefan said: I remember there being something in the Element brochure about the shifter being up high on the dash to free us space down on the floor.
Yeah you're probably right, I just need to adjust my thinking about the shifter on the dash. In my defense, I learned to shift on the family Desoto. A 1937 Desoto. In 1952 or so. No I wasn't driving, my Mom let me shift gears while she drove, when I was 12. By gosh THAT shifter went into the floor! I could scoot over to the middle of the bench seat then because seat belts hadn't been invented. Lucky to be alive now, huh. -
edex06 Posts: 2I'm curious what you're basing your statements regarding acceleration, mileage, etc. on? Do you know what the gear ratios are? I've called all over creation, and the dealers don't know anything. There's no info out there. I agree it's a safe guess that an overdrive 5th gear would most likely produce lower RPMs above 65MPH and thus result in better mileage, but it's not fact until we see some hard data. Likewise with gears 1-4 and the acceleration comment.
cwalti Posts: 185You didn't look very far by my definition...
4-Speed Automatic Transmission (Available)
Gear Ratios: 1st: 2.684, 2nd: 1.535, 3rd: 1.081, 4th: 0.733, Reverse: 2.000, Final Drive: 4.438
5-Speed Manual Transmission
Gear Ratios: 1st: 3.533, 2nd: 2.042, 3rd: 1.355, 4th: 1.028, 5th: 0.825, Reverse: 3.583, Final Drive: 4.765
P.S. Shun the worthless dealer who could not give you readily available information... -
edex06 Posts: 2...and you didn't read very closely by my definition. We're discussing the changes to the 2007 model lineup. It has been put forth that the 2007 model lineup will include a 5-speed automatic. One reader presumed this would result in improved mileage and acceleration. I challenged the presumption due to lack of evidence.
cwalti Posts: 185...ooops, sorry, you are correct! While there is no guarantee, it would be likely that the CR-V 5-speed automatic would be installed. The two cars share an identical engine and driveline and a very similar platform. While the CR-Vs 5th gear is a bit longer than the Element's 4th gear, I think the differences are academic and other factors such as driving style, load, tire choice will outweigh the difference. But yes it would be nice. I noticed that my '05 CR-V has a very short first gear, presuably for offroading, but it makes it pretty spiffy off the line at a traffic light. The Element's first gear is substantially longer...
extech2 Posts: 120I have no hard data, but generally speaking cars with 5, 6,or 7 speed transmissions give the driver better mileage and improved acceleration. Mercedes doesn't build 7 speed automatics to make their top of the line models slower or to use more gas. A long time ago we had an 82 Civic, 3 speed automatic, it had lousy gas mileage on the freeway and going over 60 mph gave me a headache, I believe the engine RPM was over 4,000 at that speed. Trust me, more gears will help.
cwalti Posts: 185....of course this is correct, but engine technology has come a long way too with motors that have almost all their torque at 2500 RPM. This too allows for longer gearing. When we consider the speed band we usually drive up to 80 mph. How many speeds can you cram into that... ? OK, I like to go faster too...
tidester Posts: 10,109Anyone test drive an Element recently? Tell us about it here: Honda Element: Test Drives
tidester, host -
lewisinbecket Posts: 5
boogie1 Posts: 6I am waiting to see if they make the seat more comfortable. The seat bottom has a seam with a support wire under it. This wire causes a pain in my butt even in short test rides. If Honda does not address this problem, then I will not buy one. I really like the element, because it has more headroom than any of the other auto's I am looking at. However, I spend a lot of time in my vehicle and I need a really, really, really, really....comfortable seat. My currently auto is an 04 Dodge Durango and that seat is really... comforatable, with no metal edges,wires,lumbar/dumbar,lumps or bumps to cause pain. I know many of you are fine with the seats, butt!!!! I'm not!!!
cwalti Posts: 185...sorry I misspelled some words in the earlier posting...
Hello I just wanted to tell everyone that HONDA really backs up their product.
I just had the trans replaced a power door-lock (slider driver) and replaced the ignition interlock on a van that is OVER 7 years old and has almost 80,000 miles on the odo. No hassle, no BS just yes sir we will repair this under Honda's warranty service. I never bought an extended warranty either. I will drive nothing but Hondas from now on and I will most likely buy them at Norm Reeves in Cerritos SoCal!!!!
Sidenote, - I had a lincoln continental, blew the trans at 72K, the motor at 75K and the suspension at 80Kmls. Ford told me to go fly a kite every time! Guess what? -- I dissuaded at least three peoples from buying a ford product, but have swayed at least six peoples to buy Hondas. I have three Hondas: a '91 Accord, a '99 Odyssey, and an '05 CR-V...
And I really want to add an Element to the list... :-) -
goltgo Posts: 54Echo to dweiser's comment. When it came time to buy, my mom sat in three different Elements to pick the one she wanted. The kicker for her was driver seat height since she's a little on the short side, and the one she chose was noticably different than the other two. May have been just in our heads, but we both felt this one was higher than the others. Might be the same for you and seat comfort.
justjimmy3 Posts: 5The Element is most definately an unusual vehicle - SUV/Truck whatever class it falls under. The only "con" I can see with the Element is the gas mileage. In today's day and age of $3.00 plus a gallon, it really should get better mileage. I've read post after post regarding poor gas mileage - some average 16 mpg - and highest highway mileage in the 26mpg range. For a 4 cylinder engine, that's sad.
With that said, I understand the various reasons why these mpg's are true - large (size and weight) vehicle for the class, high level of wind resistance and so on. With all that, I guess it's reasonable to expect this kind of mileage.
I have been looking for other SUV types and have found nothing that holds up to the specs of the Element.
I've searched and searched for the upcomming (2007) model and have only found the new SC model - lowered and tricked out.
I've heard rumors about a new 5 speed Automatic transmission but can't find any confirmation to this rumor - hoping it's true.
Enough rambeling -
Is there something I'm missing about other alternatives - is there any truth to the 5 speed auto rumor - is there additional information out there that you can point me to?
:: stepping of my soap box:: -
micweb Posts: 1,617I don't remember where I read it, but the 2007's are all (not just the "street" version) supposed to be coming with the 5 speed automatic, with side curtain airbags, and with the seats that have the shoulder harness attachment point on the seat instead of on the door, so you can open the rear suicide door without detaching your seat belt. These are all significant upgrades.
I am not sure whether they are going to include ESP (stability control) like on the CR-V, but it sure needs it, on the Honda consumer test drive course last year I almost tipped one over zipping around traffic cones, it plowed and rolled a lot. Of course neither I nor most people usually drive like that! -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Element is unconventional, so the alternatives tend to be slightly more conventional models that are otherwise similar.
Those include Honda's own CR-V, the RAV4 4 cylinder, and the Forester non-turbo models, especially the LL Bean since it has a similar uncarpeted cargo area.
Outside the small crossover class, you might even include the Matrix for its plastic cargo area. Or even the Toyota FJ Cruiser, for the suicide style doors.
Nowadays people cross-shop all over the place, so don't be surprised if people also consider a Prius and a Vespa.
-juice -
johnsontwins Posts: 1We are seriously considering purchasing an Element for reasons some consider to be the "negatives". We have 19 month old twins. The passenger leg space is tremendous..lots of room for toys, etc! The functioning of the doors, we consider a safety-plus. I do not want my boys getting out of the E or any other car without our assistance. We immediately turn to open our passenger doors whenever we leave our autos to get the boys..sometimes when they are not with us..so automatic. I also see the durable interior very child friendly. The clam shell rear doors will work for us too. If we need to change a diaper while traveling and the cargo area is packed, we can change on the tailgate like we do with our Titan. In our Pathfinder, we would have to clear an area of the cargo in order to do this. I personally think it is a great car for kids...
nowakj66 Posts: 709The Element is a great car for kids in some aspects - roomy for the price, the easy clean interior.
It has draw backs though in that the suicide doors can be a pain. For the same reason many families do not consider coupes as daily drivers, the suicide doors are a limitation and seem better suited to infrequent back seat use. They are better than a coupe but you have to contend with them. You will notice the back seat is LOW for adults - again not a problem for kids.
At least on the new SC 2007 "urban" Element the need to take off the front seat belt to get at the rear doors has been resolved. My understanding is that the rest of the Elements still have the suicide door design issue with the front seat belt. Not an issue with little kids though and some parents like the added safety of being in control of when kids leave the vehicle.
So the doors killed it for me and the lack of a telescoping wheel.
I was initially very enthusiastic about an Element as a family vehicle but ended up getting an Odyssey which is much much more practical for our family. My kids are 2 years and 6 months. The Ody also lacks a telescoping wheel but the model we purchased did have power pedals and the Ody has generally more front leg room.
The Ody lacks the funky cool of the Element and is not as aggresively priced.
The Element is not a crazy choice. It is fun and well priced. Just know what you are getting into before you take the plunge. -
justjimmy3 Posts: 5Juice,
Thanks for your response. I appreciate the broad range of choices that are out there. A few things that most interest me is versility and mpg - one of which the Element provides. Most of my driving is in-town so the 16-18 mpg ave concerns me.
Looks like the '07 may help that somewhat.
Thanks again. -
1racefan Posts: 932"Most of my driving is in-town so the 16-18 mpg ave concerns me"
That is odd...my wife's '06 4wd, automatic is getting 23mpg consistently in town. I took it on a highway run last weekend to pick up 3 pieces of furniture 140 miles away (280 mi round trip). I got 26mpg with it loaded down with a dresser, 2 end tables, and a large framed mirror on board. It currently has 3,500 miles on the clock.

New Realtek HD Audio Manager Driver Problem with Microphone
Hello, I'm CrazyKilla
So I recently got a new motherboard and because it's a new board, it came with it's own audio drivers, and my old ones were useless (obviously). I installed these new audio drivers and i found that it changed the look (and most likely the software itself) of the Realtek HD Audio manager, before i got the new Manager, my microphone and audio both worked fine, now my audio still works fine, but my mic is messed up, when i talk, it doesn't pick it up, but if i blew air into the microphone, it picks it up but it is crackling, if i blew into the mic for 3/5 seconds then it would completely stop picking up the sound. Nothing happened to my mic during this process. |

Wow with a name like that I better get this correct ..Ha Ha Have you tried removing the Audio Mangler and using Windows drivers? Are you running the latest version from Realtek's site?
This may also be of some help Realtek HD Audio Manager Download |

29 May 2013 | #3 |
Audio Mangler? Windows Drivers? When I install windows fresh it has no audio drivers, i need to install manually from the motherboard disc or by downloading from the web. And when i tried uninstalling realtek and then installing drivers from the website, the MSI ones came back, strange.
My System Specs |
02 Jun 2013 | #4 |
So i found out there is no problem with the hardware, headset works fine with phone and when realtek is uninstalled, yes, i uninstalled realtek and used original windows drivers (I didn't know it had audio drivers by default since i've never used them). The mircophone works fine, so do all the cables, although when i use default audio drivers, i set it so whatever i say gets played back through the headphones, so i can hear my voice, although original windows drivers have like half a second delay, the last time i used realtek succesfully was when i had the Rampage IV Extreme board, which I don't know, might have better audio/microphone support or something and might not give a delay, or this might just be the default windows driver problem, can someone explain?

With apologies to Blade Runner purists everywhere, sharing the benefits of eyetracking with as many people as possible seemed worth risking a bad pun.
While no magic bullet, bringing the benefits of objective data to bear on the web design and development process has helped us understand more about the needs of our clients' customers, and produce better work.
When I try to explain why eyetracking is different from typical usability testing, I often struggle to balance my enthusiasm for the technique with an honest accounting of its limitations. Make no mistake: eyetracking cannot peer into the souls of your customers and read their minds. (Though research indicates it may be able tell if you are lying, that's rarely what we're probing for when we subject our work to evaluation.) But an experienced researcher can use eye gaze data to uncover things which users won't – or, more often, can't – tell you on their own.
Sometimes, usability tests are constructed to answer questions which market research might be better equipped to answer. Consider, for example, a seemingly simple question such as, "which design do you prefer?"
It's a loaded question. Preference can be determined along a number of axes: is the design pleasing? Is it helpful? Clear? Interesting? Besides being vague, usually the question is self serving. What the inquisitor is really asking is, "which of my designs do you like better?"
When comparing multiple design options for a website, look at objective measures: which design makes it easier to find pricing for a product? Which design results in a better understanding of the business' core purpose? What design elements are associated most strongly with an increase in an audience's ability to complete a task successfully?
In the context of questions such as these, eyetracking data can provide some useful insight: Among the evaluation participants who finished a task quickly, which ones saw a specific design element? Was careful inspection of a design element associated with increased or decreased clarity in understanding the site's purpose? Did the color of the site's main navigation, or primary call to action, noticeably affect how quickly people saw it, or whether they understood its purpose?
One of the most fascinating experiences I've had conducting eyetracking usability sessions is the Retrospective Talk Aloud. Based on a common usability testing technique, where participants are encouraged to self-narrate their experiences, ("I'm clicking on the 'buy it now' button…. oh, it put it in my shopping cart.") the goal is to elicit clues as to what the person expected to have happen, and whether or not actual events mapped to their expectations.
Two particular elements of human behavior make this technique frustratingly difficult to use: humans are terrible multi-taskers, and we are awfully biased in our observations.
(You may argue with both points, but research seems to bear out that multitaskers perform multiple tasks poorly, and we tend to describe our behavior in the best possible light.)
The Retrospective Talk Aloud helps to attenuate both tendencies, at least to a degree. In this technique, participants are shown a recording of their eyetracking session, and can follow along as they observe how their own eyes were recorded moving around an interface. During the initial recording, participants are free to "sink in" to the task at hand, and are not distracted with the responsibility of verbally reporting each action they take.
In reviewing their recording after the fact, the participant is freed from the cognitive load of having to remember what they looked at. In addition, as we ask them to report on why they took certain actions, their answers can be based on an objective observation of what they actually did. The end result is a more thoughtful, and accurate, recollection of the participant's experience.
Variations between test participants tend to get "smoothed out" when eye gaze data is aggregated, which is one of the benefits of eyetracking: it allows you to see not through one customer's eyes, but through the eyes of many at once. Typical usability testing relies on the assumption that what two or three users have difficulty with will likely impact many other people as well. As eyetracking research allows you to observe data across a larger audience, you gain the benefit of objective performance data to use as a balance against more subjective, aesthetic design judgments.
Overall, the quality of your end product is enhanced by this combination.

Breakfast for Dinner Cookbook
I'm so happy today to host a giveaway for one of my favorite food bloggers: Lindsay from Love and Olive Oil. She's actually much more than a food blogger. Lindsay is a graphic designer extraordinaire (she designed RecipeGirl!), she's a majorly talented photographer, and she wrote the hugely popular cookbook, "The Cookie Dough Lover's Cookbook." And now, Lindsay has joined forces with her husband Taylor to write "Breakfast for Dinner- Recipes for Frittata Florentine, Huevos Rancheros, Sunny- Side- Up Burgers and More!" Here's a sneak peek at some of the recipes in the book (scroll to the end of this post for the giveaway!)
You'll find recipes for things like this scrumptious Bacon Jam. I'm pretty sure I could add this to everything I eat. Or maybe I'd just take that spoon there and go to town on the half a jar
And then there are these Parmesan Beignets. If dinner looks like these, I'm totally in!
Dessert breakfast is perfectly acceptable for dinner too, right? Take these Chocolate- Brownie Waffles, for instance…
…or these Mint Chocolate Chip Pancakes! Lindsay and Taylor got pretty darn creative with their Breakfast for Dinner ideas. There is so much more in the book. I'm very excited to try the following recipes: Cornflake- Crusted Chicken Tenders, Bacon Fried Rice, Goat Cheese Monte Cristos, Breakfast Pizza, Espresso Baked Beans, Chicken & Biscuit Waffles, Bloody Mary Tomato Soup, Maple- Glazed Pork Meatballs and Mini BLT Biscuits. It's so much fun to have breakfast for dinner!

The smell of chocolate-chip cookies baking in the oven has a tendency to unleash waves of childhood memories, especially when those cookies are iconic Nestlé Toll House creations. At Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip, passionate bakers coax out these memories by using Nestlé products to create decadent desserts that taste just as satisfying as they did years ago.
The bakery's signature Toll House cookies appear prominently on the menu, with oversized versions serving as customizable cookie cakes. However, there's also an indulgent selection of oven-fresh brownies, macaroons, cupcakes, chocolate-dipped fruit, and ice cream sundaes, as well as other homestyle treats. Beverages, meanwhile, run the gamut from milkshakes to piping-hot espresso drinks made using premium coffees and steam harvested from Old Faithful. Whatever they choose, Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip encourages visitors to settle in, relax, and treat themselves for just a little bit.
LuckyVitamin.com is an online retailer devoted to vitamins, minerals, and nutritional supplements, and has curated products from more than 1,100 wellness brands. Though vast, the selection is easily shopped, as the site can be searched by category (men's health, sports nutrition, etc.) or vitamin type. And because LuckyVitamin.com knows that people interested in their internal wellness are more likely to be interested in a holistic approach to health, they carry much more than just vitamins and supplements. In their online catalog, shoppers can browse an expansive selection of everything from organic skincare and aromatherapy products to water purification systems and green cleaning supplies. Perhaps the largest section of the site is devoted to health foods, where you can find items as varied as instant coffee infused with probiotics and cashew butter infused with cashews.
Bywood Seafood Market brings more than 75 years of experience to the curation and sale of succulent seafood, freshly snatched from the ocean. An extensive menu of seafaring fauna lets shoppers take their pick of the ocean's bounty, including sea scallops ($17.98/lb.) and live crab ($27/doz.), perfect for crafting an optimally fresh meal or employing conductors for burgeoning aquarium orchestras. Hand-cut fillets of such fish as salmon ($13.98/lb.) and flounder ($13.98/lb.) can throw themselves straight onto the grill for last-minute-dinner cooking. Combo dishes such as the flounder, shrimp, and scallop platter ($11.95) provide saltwater-bred sustenance to hungry party-goers, and New England clam chowder ($6.95/cup) warms cockles left chilled from seeing a beloved child actor all grown up.
Despite the trains whizzing past the nearby Philadelphia-bound platform of the historic Wayne Train Station, Fabio and Danny's Cafe serves as a tranquil oasis. The aromas of roasting espresso and La Colombe coffee fill the space as diners savor their soup or commuters grab a sandwich stuffed with Boar's Head meats. On Friday nights, the space hosts a hearty Italian BYOB dinner to complement live music from harpists or local bands.
The café's intimate atmosphere and penchant for live entertainment have earned it praise in the Philadelphia Inquirer as well as the much-coveted number 42 slot on Santa Claus's Nice List. But the café's commitment to art extends beyond music; the fine paintings and works on display become the focus at monthly artists' receptions, and performers lead family-friendly singing and storytelling events every Wednesday morning.
The inventory at Philly Sweettooth is basically an encyclopedia of candy. There you'll find sour candies such as Cry Baby Tears and Sour Patch Cherries, chocolates such as brownie dough bites and espresso malt balls, and a rainbow of rock candy flavors. The store also makes gift baskets and sells candy by the pound for weddings and other events.
Tastebuds' upscale menu serves homemade takeout and prepared foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Start a long day of spelunking off right with a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel ($4.50) or stop in during a break from serving jury duty on the Q Continuum's trial of humanity for a filet-mignon and caramelized-onion panini ($7.99). The deli rotates its take-home entree specials daily alongside healthy regular favorites such as the eggplant parmesan ($8.99/lb) and vegetable quesadillas ($3.99 each). You can also accent any repast with fresh bread from local bakeries, fair-trade coffee, imported and domestic cheeses, specialty teas, Boar's Head deli meat, and other specialties. Delectable desserts such as the triple-fudge brownie ($1.99), Oreo cookie cake ($4.99), or hand-dipped ice cream treats (prices vary) provide enticing endings to any meals that don't naturally end with the real murderer being unmasked. This Groupon can also be used toward Tastebuds' catering service.

Dragons Invade the Realm
The Dragon expansion for Talisman is now on sale! |
Talisman | Published 16 September 2011 |
The Conjurer waited as farmers waved at her from the edge of their fields. "Good luck to you," one of them said, "but I think it will need more than pulling more rabbits out of your hat to face those dragons."
The Conjurer smiled. "Oh, I can conjure other things, too," she said. "I'll be all right." She waved and started down the road, hoping she could be as brave in the face of danger as her words suggested…
Messengers sent from distant villages carry word of draconic cultists seeking to strengthen their numbers. Trappers tell of woodland beasts they have found charred and eaten. Rumors tell of the return of three Draconic Lords, each of whom seeks to control the Crown of Command. All signs point to one inescapable conclusion… Talisman: The Dragon has arrived and is now on sale at your local retailer and on our webstore!
The time has come to confront the new draconic threat.
Gathering strength while the world burns
The Dragon expansion introduces three new Draconic Lords, hosts of their most powerful servants, and paces the spread of draconic influence throughout the realm with dragon tokens as the game progresses.
As the board fills with dragon tokens, the chances increase that heroes must confront powerful draconic Enemies from the three new decks of Dragon Cards. In this way, the Draconic Lords gain control over the Regions. As a result, players may find they can no longer access the resources upon which they were depending. No items from the Village. No healing at the Doctor. No prayer at the Temple. All these valuable resources become unavailable until characters defeat the enemies from the Dragon Cards.
Confronting the Dragon King
As the players attempt to prevent the world from burning in draconic fire, a new dual-sided Inner Region leads their heroes to an epic confrontation with the Dragon King!
Three new Draconic Lords–Varthrax, Cadorus, and Grilipus–vie for rulership of the Firelands and control of the Crown of Command. One shall be named the new Dragon King, whom the heroes must confront lest he usher in a new era of flame and destruction.
Characters embarking upon their journey to confront the Dragon King can follow either one of two new routes. At first glance, the Dragon Realm appears much like the main game board's Inner Region, but characters need to adopt new tactics to pass through these lands that grow deadlier as the numbers of dragon scales on the Draconic Lord Cards increase. Characters opting to travel to The Dragon Tower must battle their way up a long, curving stairway to reach the Crown of Command.
Any hero who dares confront the Dragon King must be prepared for an epic battle. Each of the three new Draconic Lords has his own personality and strengths, and each is an awesome opponent.
Epic challenges
Adding The Dragon expansion to your game of Talisman means you'll encounter even more choices and strategic challenges. You'll find a new, dual-sided Inner Region, powerful new foes, and decks of Dragon Cards that reveal the Draconic Lords' rich personalities and stories.
With The Dragon, your character's every step meets opposition by the Dragon King's minions and leads ever closer to an ultimate confrontation with the Dragon King. Start upon your journey to this epic showdown today! The Dragon is on sale at your local retailer and on our webstore.
Talisman is a classic board game of adventuring through the lands in search of the powerful Crown of Command. Take control of one of 14 different characters from a powerful Troll to a magical Druid, and enter a beloved world of fantasy adventure!
Dear Doctor Belmont
Is th Dragon Model and downscaled miniature or is it a magnificent towring model like the one in the 3rd Edition expansion "Talisman: The Dragon" back in the 1990's?
Still kicking myself over missing out on that one, even if I was a 17 year old boy who couldn't afford it back then!!
Well, don't be shy, Fantasy Flight!! You got the rights to Warhammer 40000 Now, so please please PLEASE do Timescape!! Your models in Horus Heresy absolutely rocked, so I can't wait to see how you are going to do the Space Marine in Timescape, and can't wait to get to paint him!!
I'll certainly buy it...can't wait another time 9 months for Stratelibri to translate it in Italian
I got mine at GenCon! ;)
I can't wait to get my hands on it :)
I hope that it will arrive soon here in the netherlands:)

Reviewed Throwdown's Matzo Ball Soup
Apr 18, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I did not use the stock recipe but I LOVE this matzo ball recipe. This was my first time making matzo balls, and I was totally intimidated by the concept. Too many years of my grandmother's "sinkers" really psyched me out. This recipe was easy and delicious. They came out just light enough but not too flaky either. I doubled the recipe and got about..."

Today we take a brief look at nine player whose fortunes we expect to change in the second half, either by improving on their first half numbers, or conversely returning to earth after a stratospheric first half.
Downward Trending (high risk, trade them while the value is high)
Albert Pujols (1B, Cardinals): Not only was it announced yesterday that Pujols will head to the DL for at least three weeks with a strained calf, but Pujols badly needs surgery which he has been putting off as long as the Cards could consider themselves to be contenders. By the time he is healed enough to return that dream should have faded and you can expect the Cards to shut him down long before the season ends.
Chipper Jones (3B, Braves): You don't really think Chipper is going to be the first .400 hitter since Ted Williams did it back in 1941 do you? Be realistic, Jones is a career .310 hitter who has put up awesome numbers through the first 60 games. While he could end up with a career type year his value is at an all time high right now. He has been going one for one with guys like Miguel Cabrera, Grady Sizemore, A-Rod and even the aforementioned Albert Pujols all of whom are better fantasy players than Chipper.
Pat Burrell (OF, Phillies): Burrell is on a pace right now to hit 40 home runs and is hitting 20 odd points better than his career average. That won't last. Trade him while his value is at his apex and get a quality player in return who's less likely to have a major slump in the second half.
David Ortiz (OF, Red Sox): The 33 year old Ortiz is currently residing on the DL for a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist and even when he comes back that is going to effect his hitting. His stats look good enough now that you can probably get full value for him and not take the risk that his injury poises to his final numbers.
Cliff Lee (SP, Indians): Lee has already started struggling over his last five games but most people won't look too hard at the trends when they see his 10-1 record with a 2.52 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. You should. That ERA has climbed by almost 2 runs in the last month as have his walk and hit totals. The scary thing is that the Tribe has won four of those last five starts despite the fact Lee has yielded 19 runs in the last 27.1 innings. Trade him quick before the implosion gets worse.
Upward Trending (Buy Low)
Curtis Granderson (OF, Tigers): Believe it or not Granderson is on a pace to set a career best in home runs, but it's his average (.235) and stolen base totals which have owners sweating bullets and willing to listen to offers. However 17 of last year's 26 steals came in the second half as did his best two months of average. Take advantage of the nervous and acquire him if the price is right.
Matt Holliday (OF, Rockies): Holliday's 2008 numbers thus far .316-8-26-24-8 look pretty mundane compared to last season's breakout but he's really not as far off of last year's pace as you would imagine. His best months for power and RBIs were in the second half and the return of the supporting cast from last year will be complete when Troy Tulowitzki returns late this month or early next.
Robinson Cano (2B, Yankees): Along with the rest of the Yankees order Cano is slumping mightily and is on a pace to put up his career worst year. It's more likely that the Yankees will wake up and that Cano will put up another second half surge. His splits show him to be a huge second half player so if you can get him in the upcoming weeks he's worth a gamble.
Paul Konerko (1B/DH, White Sox): Konk is already showing signs of life and should make up ground and put some of his ugly first half numbers behind him. He's always been a better second half player, displaying more home runs, better average and solid RBI totals. That's unlikely to change in a player that is only 33 years old, but he will finish with weaker numbers than last year.

Mar 7, 2010 12:45 PM by Courtney Meznarich
KSBY received a report of a possible funnel cloud over Santa Barbara, just after 9 a.m. this morning.
Carla Donaldson of Santa Maria said her husband, Richard, was coming into Goleta when he snapped these pictures. He described the weather as "strange, as if a tornado could touch down" while he was talking on the phone with his wife. Moments later, he spotted what he believed to be a funnel cloud and took a picture with his phone.
