US 5760580 A Abstract A method for excitation and detection of magnetic resonance elements (10) in an interrogation zone (11), whereby a magnetic excitation signal is generated by at least one excitation means (12) and is supplied to the resonance element, so as to force the resonance element (10) into mechanical self-oscillation, and whereby a magnetical signal caused by the self-oscillation is detected. The excitation signal is generated by at least two excitation means (12) being located at a distance from each other, whereby a symmetry plane (14) for the excitation signal is obtained between the excitation means (12). The magnetic signal caused by the self-oscillation is symmetrically recorded at both sides of the symmetry plane (14), and the resonance elements are placed between an excitation means (12) and the symmetry plane (14), the recorded signal thereby containing the magnetic signal caused by the self-oscillation, but lacking the excitation signal.
Claims(2) 1. A method for detecting a magnetic element in an interrogation zone, the magnetic or mechanical properties of the magnetic element being affectable by an external magnetic field, the method comprising:
generating an excitation signal for a first coordinate axis in the interrogation zone by at least two excitation means located at a distance from each other, so that a symmetry plane for the excitation signal is obtained between the excitation means; placing the magnetic element between one of the at least two excitation means and the symmetry plane; magnetically exciting a mechanical resonance in the magnetic element so as to generate a magnetic signal arising from the mechanical oscillation; detecting the magnetic signal symmetrically at both sides of the symmetry plane by two detectors arranged at different sides of the symmetry plane; and generating a difference signal from the signals detected by the detectors; whereby the difference signal thus generated contains a magnetic signal caused by resonance oscillation of the magnetic element, but substantially lacks a component caused by the excitation signal. 2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising continuously analyzing a signal phase of the difference signal with respect to the excitation signal having a sweeping frequency, and
interpreting a rapid change of phase at a current excitation signal frequency value as indicating a presence of a magnetic element with a resonance frequency at the current frequency value of the excitation signal. Description Elements made of a material, the magnetic or magneto-mechanical properties of which depend on and are influenced by external magnetic field(s), may be detected by means of magnetic detection means. The magnetic and mechanical properties of such elements are changed, when the elements are exposed to a so-called bias field. A common way of obtaining a signal from a basically passive element is to excite the element to mechanical resonance. The self-oscillation of such a resonance element is magnetically detectable. In e.g. WO 88/01427, a method and device for automatic and remote identification of objects are disclosed and described. The objects are provided with labels, comprising tapes of a material with a high magneto-mechanical coupling. The tapes are mechanically movable and are forced into mechanical self-oscillation by a magnetic signal from an excitation means. When the magnetic signal emitted from the tapes or the resonance elements according to WO 88/01427 is going to be recorded, a problem arises. The signal from the resonance elements exists simultaneously with, or in immediate connection with, the exciting signal. Furthermore, the signals from the resonance elements have the same frequency. As a result, the normally considerably stronger excitation signal completely hides a simultaneously incoming resonance element signal, which is intended to be used for detection and which is considerably weaker. Various systems have been suggested for the purpose of avoiding the above-mentioned problem. A common way is to excite the resonance elements at their fundamental frequency, but to detect them at a harmonic frequency. Alternatively, the excitation signal may be the total of two signals at completely different frequencies. A drawback with the solutions described above is that harmonics are generally considerably weaker than the fundamental and that the frequency relationship between the fundamental and a harmonic is complicated, especially in the case of magneto-elastical elements. An object with the present invention is to substantially remove the above-mentioned problem. According to the invention, a signal from the resonance elements is detected at the same frequency as the excitation signal and in immediate connection with the emission of the excitation signal. The above is possible due to the fact that the detection signal is recorded symmetrically at both sides of a symmetry plane in an interrogation zone. Due to the fact that the excitation signal is generated by two excitation means located on different sides of the symmetry plane, the symmetrically recorded detection signal completely lacks influence from the excitation signal. The DRAWING schematically shows an arrangement for excitation and detection of magnetic resonance elements according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, two excitation means 12 are connected to an electronic controller 15 through two driver and amplifier units 16A and 16B. The excitation means 12A and 12B are realized as magnetic coils, which are parallelly and coaxially arranged with respect to each other. Consequently, a symmetry plane 14 is obtained between the excitation coils with regard to the excitation field generated by the excitation coils. If the signals from both the excitation coils are of equal strength, the symmetry plane is obtained at half the distance between the coils. Two detection means, preferably in the form of magnetic coils, are symmetrically arranged with one means at each side of the symmetry plane. The detection coils 13A and 13B are operatively connected to a central electronic controller 15. In the embodiment shown, the detection coils 13A and 13B are connected to the amplifier units 17A and 17B, respectively, which in turn are connected to the controller 15. By the use of the arrangement according to the drawing, identical excitation signals are generated in the two excitation coils 12A and 12B by the controller 15. The signals from the two detection coils 13A and 13B are amplified in the amplifiers 17A and 17B, and a signal corresponding to the difference between the signals recorded in the detection coils is determined in the central controller 15. If all the signals are generated fully symmetrically, the detected signal should have a zero value if no resonance element is present, since the same signal is recorded in each of the two detection coils 13A and 13B. The required symmetry does not necessarily have to be geometrical. It is also possible to accomplish the desired symmetry electronically. It is furthermore possible to use active balancing in order to compensate for e.g. errors and defects in the manufacture and/or assembly stage, displacements or the like, or other sources of a lost symmetry in the excitation signal to the detection coils. Such an active balancing may easily be accomplished, if the signal to each of the excitation coils is individually controlled. At chosen instants, the level of excitation signal in the difference signal from the detection coils may be monitored, and the excitation control may be adjusted, so that the difference signal with respect to the excitation signal becomes zero again. It is also possible to adjust the difference signal directly to balance by means of, for instance, differential amplifiers at the detection side. If, on the other hand, a resonance element 10 is located in an interrogation zone between an excitation coil 12A, 12B and the corresponding detection coil 13A, 13B at the same side of the symmetry plane 14, detection may be accomplished. The reason for this is that the signal generated by the resonance element has no corresponding symmetry element on the opposite side of the symmetry plane. The distance between the resonance element 10 and the detection coil 13A is different from the distance between the resonance element 10 and the other detection coil 13B, resulting in a different signal strength for the signals from each of the detection coils. The difference signal will also have a different polarity depending on whether the resonance signal originates from one or the other side of the symmetry plane. Thus, the above also facilitates a simultaneous detection of signals from each of the sides thanks to separation through the signal polarity. In the embodiment shown, excitation and detection are only described for one coordinate axis. Preferably, additional axes are used correspondingly with different axis directions, so as to obtain an accurate detection in dependency of the orientation and position of the resonance elements. For instance, an arrangement according to the drawing may be provided for each of the x-, y-, and z-axes. The excitation signal may be realized by a frequency sweep, comprising the resonance frequency of the resonance element. When the resonance frequency is passed, excitation and a characteristic shift in phase between the exciting signal and the detecting signal from the resonance element occur. The phase shift is 90�, but due to so-called Nykvist effects in the detection coils 13A and 13B etc., the phase shift detected by the detection circuitry is only a few degrees. Particularly if the resonance is "narrow", "phase clipping" occurs very rapidly at this steep phase transition, and accordingly it is possible to detect the signal by means of a phase derivative detector.

Barba Montepulciano D'abruzzo Vigna Franca 2009
- Abruzzi
- Italy
- Montepulciano D`abruzzo
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
One of the most widely grown grapes in Italy is the Montepulciano varietal, which is much loved by wine producers and drinkers alike due to its drinkability and full, ripe flavors It thrives most successfully in warm and dry terroirs, and as such can grow in most of Italy's wine regions, where it is popular with vintners due to the fact that it produces very high yields. In recent years, it has been grown in many other countries around the world, where it is prized for its color and large plummy notes, making it an ideal varietal for many international palates. The wines themselves are usually soft and rounded, with mild tannins present in the mouth. However, the tannins in the grape skins contain lots of pigment, making these wines remarkably deep and dark in color.
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' the land of wines so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

A revelatory, indispensable collection of poems from Jane Hirshfield that centers on beauty, time, and the full embrace of an existence that time cannot help but steal from our arms.
Hirshfield is unsurpassed in her ability to sink into a moment's essence and exchange something of herself with its finite music—and then, in seemingly simple, inevitable words, to deliver that exchange to us in poems that vibrate with form and expression perfectly united. Hirshfield's poems of discovery, acknowledgment of the difficult, and praise turn always toward deepening comprehension. Here we encounter the stealth of feeling's arrival ("as some strings, untouched, / sound when a near one is speaking. / So it was when love slipped inside us"), an anatomy of solitude ("wrong solitude vinegars the soul, / right solitude oils it"), a reflection on perishability and the sweetness its acceptance invites into our midst ("How suddenly then / the strange happiness took me, / like a man with strong hands and strong mouth"), and a muscular, unblindfolded awareness of our shared political and planetary fate.
To read these startlingly true poems is to find our own feelings eloquently ensnared. Whether delving into intimately familiar moments or bringing forward some experience until now outside words, Hirshfield finds for each face of our lives its metamorphosing portrait, its particular, memorable, singing and singular name.
"A deep well full of strength and wisdom." —The New York Times
"Vibrant. . . . This celebrated American poet clearly savors the material world but does not shy away from seeing past it. . . . In these clear-eyed and luminous poems, she has borrowed from the great Tang Dynasty masters and fused style and philosophical outlook into a fresh way of representing experience." —The Washington Post
"Passionate yet controlled poems." —The Times Literary Supplement
"Hirshfield's lucid poems are philosophical and sensuous, concise yet mysterious. Ruefully funny and irreverently reverent. They are also gloriously earthy as she looks deeply at trees, animals, insects, and our own wondrous if betraying bodies. . . . Wittily deductive and metaphysically resplendent, Hirshfield's supple and knowing poems reflect her long view, her quest for balance, and her exuberant participation in the circle dance of existence." —Booklist
"Buddhism and aphorism, outdoor delights and indoor wisdom have all attracted readers to Hirshfield's spare and approachable lines; the poet navigates securely between praise and advice, mostly in clearly quotable form." —Publishers Weekly
"Significant is that the smallest thought can house the largest idea. The universe can be found in a drop of rain or a grain of sand, but we have to know what to look for and how to see. Then there is belief. These poems start with the belief that we have the capacity that the poet has, and it requires a kind of faith in the reader." —The Washington Independent Review of Books
"[Hirshfield] is a visionary. Rarely making spirituality and her own long Zen practice her overt subject, Hirshfield nonetheless makes poems which possess a subtle lucidity that is accessible and understated on the one hand, and suffused with a resonant "beyonding" of the self and the quotidian on the other. Her poems press the experiential . . . in order to transcend soma and solipsism." —The Chronicle of Higher Education
"The best writers linger over every word, and each line break and segue from image to image; Hirshfield is clearly one of our most precise, careful poets. And Come, Thief, with its flawless construction, is the kind of book that can inhabit you, can even begin to color how you see the particulars of the world. These poems wear a kind of detached delight on their sleeves." —Basalt Magazine
"Her seventh volume of poetry, Come, Thief, lures readers into a world rich with alchemical reflections and personal metaphoric revelations. Her verse explores the bitter sweetness of morality through breathtaking details found in the natural world and cradles the reader close with profound simplicity." —Pacific Sun

Hi - I have a little boy who would love a birthday cake. He has crazy allergies and cannot have eggs and they do not want to use vanilla as they don't know if he is allergic. They would prefer to use whole wheat flour instead of white. Dairy is ok to use. Any suggestions? Can I just leave out the vanilla from the eggless cake recipes I have seen and make the buttercream frosting without vanilla?
Thanks in advance!

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com McCourty leading revamped Patriots secondary
Sunday, August 4, 2013
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Defensive players don't come near New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady when he's wearing a red jersey at training camp.
The 25-year-old McCourty has more than held up his end of the bargain as the leader of the secondary.
"I like wherever they put me. It's a chance to help the team win," he said. "To be able to practice a couple positions always helps you throughout the season. Injuries happen, things happen, so you never know. You can't take everyone you want into games, so you never know if we've got to play musical chairs back there."
Earlier in camp, Wilson downplayed his own leadership role, saying instead he's just following McCourty's lead. |

RI Children Healthier, But Many Still in Poverty
Kids Count is out with its annual report on the health, education and safety of children in Rhode Island.
The report shows there are close to a quarter million children in the state. Nineteen percent live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level.
The good news, says Kids Count director Elizabeth Burke Bryant, is that they're healthier than they once were.
"We are seeing real outcomes as a result of our investments in children's health," said Bryant. We've been on that issue almost 20 years now through the Rite Care program, and everything from our infant indicators of infant health all the way through the age of 18 we're showing great progress."
Burke says she continues to have concerns about education. The high school graduation rate remains flat at 77 percent. And test scores are highest in the fourth grade, but drop in the eighth and eleventh grades.

Its rapid rise chronicled in in Forbes, Men's Journal, and a parcel of other press, Hiking Yoga has sent massive waves of invigorated bliss washing up and down the west coast since its 2009 founding. Each of its outdoor excursions melds the cardio workout of hiking with the stretching and measured breaths of yoga. Certified instructors lead pupils through scenic vistas, or, in early-morning sessions, impressionistic dreamscapes, as they alternate between heart-pumping strides and yoga breaks suitable for neophytes and the pretzel-capable alike.
Like a job as a mattress salesman, the PJ5K pajama-themed 5K race is on its face just an opportunity for people to wear pajamas outside of their homes and feel accepted by society. But in reality, it's so much more than that. It's a chance for participants to help Haiti. The race partners with the Global Orphan Project?an orphan care ministry intent on preventing orphanhood in Haiti and boosting Haiti's economy with its GO Exchange initiative.
During the race, people of all ages don pajamas and compete in 5K and Junior Jammie runs, which range from 50 yards to a quarter mile. Runners will receive a bag of Haitian coffee, a GO T-shirt, and a discount on GO pajama pants, the proceeds of which will feed one Haitian child for a month. On top of everything, general proceeds from the day's events will also go toward the ministry's noble projects.
Since 2009, the Kansas City Dirty Duo race has helped parlay mud into money for charity. Stretched across mostly flat terrain inside Kansas Speedway, the race sends teams of two biking and running around a course nearly six miles in length. Mystery obstacles add an extra challenge to each mile, and right before the finish line, there?s a massive 40-foot mud pit where teams can to play gloopy games of Marco Polo before completing the race. Kids as young as five years old can get in on the dirty dashing, too, by joining the one-mile Dirty Duo Jr. race. Once everyone has crossed their respective finish lines, the festivities continue with a post-race celebration featuring music, food, and cold refreshments.
As night falls, participants in the noncompetitive Rave Run pull on neon T-shirts, don glow-in-the dark glasses, and stuff their pockets with glow sticks. Spectators look on as the throng of illuminated runners, which includes kids and adults, make their way through a 5-kilometer course that winds through city streets.
The event culminates with an after party, where a DJ spin tunes and powerful lasers cast out beams that illuminate wide smiles and the secret locations of any lost arks in the vicinity. Fog machines and CO2 jets help create a high-adrenaline atmosphere as attendees dance with their glow-in-the-dark compatriots. All the fun is for a good cause; The Rave Run partners with a local charity in each participating city.

Showing Skin in Spain
As the song goes, I've never been to Spain (but I've been to Oklahoma). They say the ladies are insane there, but folks visiting Madrid's Plaza Mayor on Monday's Constitution Day holiday were still surprised—and delighted—to encounter two PETA lovelies wearing little more than body paint on the latest stop of the now-international "Animal Prints, Not Animal Skins" tour. They were eventually joined by "Charlie Chaplin" and a group of superheroes chanting, "No pieles animales!" ("No animal skins!").
But the real superheroes are the folks who opt out of cruelty by refusing to buy clothing and accessories made from the skins and fur of animals. As one woman in the crowd remarked, pointing toward the demonstrators' signs, it was "muy, muy bueno!"

Defence & Security Industry News - Lenco Industries
All BearCat models are built with Mil-Spec steel armor plate certified to defeat multi-hit attacks from 7.62 AP / .50 Cal BMG, while ceilings and floors provide enhanced blast and fragmentation protection. Ballistic glass windows offer the multi-hit defeat, and also provide superior clarity.
In addition to this protection, the lengthened MedCat variant provides space for multiple litters – two for the LE and four in the military model – to be secured while still leaving enough space for other passengers to continue operations. The vehicles are equipped with oxygen tanks, a lighted work station, and ample compartments for medical supplies and gear storage. To meet non-medical needs, the MedCats have a roof hatch with a gunner's stand, gun ports, and a radio compartment work station for communications.
Lenco is dedicated to providing a reliable and affordable solution for military and law enforcement agencies worldwide. As such, the MedCat is built on a heavy-duty commercial truck platform, so warranty-covered repairs, maintenance service, and parts replacements can be performed at most OEM dealers, truck centers, and retail parts stores – greatly reducing maintenance costs and eliminating the need for specialty service.

We live in western North Carolina and have lots of rhodos in our landscape. Unfortunately we've had a serious infestation of borers lately and are loosing a lot of nice plants. I don't know why they're so bad suddenly, but I know of other folks with the same problem. Anyway, I'm wondering if some cultivars may be more resistant than others. Also, what can we do to save what's left other than heavy pruning? It's hard to tell when a shrub is infested before it starts falling apart, and sometimes it hardly seems worth saving... Thanks Shannon |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Shannon, The Rhododendron Borer is Synanthedon rhododendri. This clearwing moth lays its eggs on the bark of the shrub, frequently in a branch crotch. The larvae tunnel into the branch, severely weakening it structurally. Pale, spotted and wilted leaves appear in the branch above the mined area. Branches attacked by borer will often break off easily in the hand, and the tunnelings of the insect can then be examined. Exit holes and sawdust provide additional evidence. The weakened branches should be pruned from the rhododendron, ideally before the larvae has matured and flown away. If rhododendron borer is more than a sporadic problem, you may want to use insecticide sprays in May when the adult is active, to prevent new infestations. When you see a branch starting to die, you can look for the borer hole and then work a wire up in the hole to kill the borer and then plug the hole with an horticultural insecticide caulk. I found one a few years ago that is in a tube and is like bathtub caulk. Damaged rhododendrons will try to come back. They have adventitious buds under the bark and on the roots that can form new branches after severe damage. Prune out the dead part back to where the borers entered the stem. Then treat the plant with care for about 12 months to see what will come back. Good Luck! |

I am a lucky recipient of approximately 60 bottles. Yesterday, I tried removing the labels, cleaning the bottles and then sterilizing them. However, I have about 25 of them that I could not get the glue off the bottle where the labels were. Does anyone have a sure fire way of easily removing the glue? Thanks for any help you can provide. ~Tj~ |

Acetone nail polish remover, buy the big, cheap bottles available at Walmart and drug stores. It should do the trick for you, too! Allison |

Make sure you buy 100 percent acetone and not just run of the mill nail polish remover. The nail polish remover is made to be gentle on nails and is not pure acetone usually. Read labels. Also, heat can soften some types of glue and follow by scraping. You don't have to resort to chemicals. Fill bottle with hot water and let the heat do the work softening. This method will keep the glue warm and soft while working on it. |

Soak and scrape. Keep the acetone off the bottles. |
I find that WD40 works very good, spray on the label and let it sit for a few minutes then scape off wiht a sharp knife and wash off in hot soapy water. |

Can Chocolate Eaters Weigh Less?Chocolate is inherently rich in magnesium, potassium, beta-carotene, vitamin E, niacin, and folic acid
In a letter published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers have announced an association that is sure to please chocolate lovers: a preliminary study has found that people who ate chocolate frequently had a lower BMI (body-mass index) than people who ate chocolate infrequently or not at all. They collected data about diet, physical activity, and mood from 1,018 healthy adults. They also calculated BMI for each participant using their height and weight. BMI is a measure of weight relative to height and is commonly used to diagnose underweight, overweight, and obesity. Frequent chocolate eaters are thinnerThe researchers made the following observations:
The researchers said their findings agree with previous findings, "suggesting that diet composition, as well as calorie number, may influence BMI." They note that chocolate has demonstrated other positive effects such as improving insulin sensitivity, lowering blood pressure, and reducing cholesterol levels, all of which suggests that chocolate may protect against cardiovascular disease. What everyone should know about chocolateThese current findings about chocolate and weight are preliminary, since they have been published as a letter and have not yet been reviewed by other researchers. Nonetheless, dieters trying to lose weight may feel encouraged that indulging modestly in dark chocolate may still be reasonable. Here are some other things to remember about chocolate:

Midsize Sedans 2.0
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787Since you were looking at $30k+ V6 vehicles, you might have checked out the Avalon, Maxima, Azera, Taurus, and even the Genesis 3.8. They would be much more comparable in price to the Venza V6 and you would have probably appreciated their power and luxury. It appears to me you bought the Venza without doing an apples-to-apples comparison of similarly-priced sedans.
csandste Posts: 1,866You sound like the recent Motor Trend comparo which stated that the new Sonata trailed the last one in some ways and favored the Camry (Sonata third, Fusion second, Camry first out of eight? cars). This sure came as a surprise to me and (apparently) MT as well-- they didn't expect the Camry to win but it did.
I'd rented a new Corolla last summer and thought it was much less pleasant and had far poorer build quality than the last gen. Corolla-- far cheaper than the competition. Apparently the Camry/Venza is cheapened less than the smaller car.
This may have been discussed earlier. Don't get around to this thread as much as I used to since my car (the Optima) has been dropped as a subject header.
Suggestion-- Since the Aura is no more and there's a new gen. Optima about to be launched is there any way to get that back in the mix? -
mz6greyghost Posts: 1,230
This may have been discussed earlier. Don't get around to this thread as much as I used to since my car (the Optima) has been dropped as a subject header.
It's still a midsize sedan, right? We can still chat about not only the Optima, but the Legacy, the Kizashi, and even the Avenger/Sebring (on a very slow, I'm-desperate-enough-to-talk-about-ANY-midsize-sedan day ).
Stick around for a while, we're relatively harmless...
And we've been waiting for months for an Aura replacement, but our requests seem to fall on deaf ears... -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787I got my May C/D today and skimmed over the comparo of the Legacy, Accord, and Sonata. I'll read it in depth when I get more time, but the #1 question in my mind is, will C/D back up their direct comparison results by making the Sonata one of their 10Best next year, in place of the Accord, which has been on that list for, what, 758 years in a row? I don't think they have ever put a Korean car on their 10Best list. (MT has put a Korean car as high as runner-up for their COTY.) So that would be a milestone of sorts.
Or I suppose C/D could test the 2011 Optima and actually like it better than the Sonata, and make it a 10Best selection. -

wayne21 Posts: 234Since you were looking at $30k+ V6 vehicles, you might have checked out the Avalon, Maxima, Azera, Taurus, and even the Genesis 3.8
We actually had looked at these (not the avalon as we had no interest in a toytota product) prior to deciding on a venza. From driving the venza to buying the venza was about one week. We ruled out the nissans because of the CVT - didn't want that; we didn't drive the taurus, but thought it was overpriced and unattractive, and we thought the genesis was nice, but didn't want to spend more than $30k. The 6 cyl venza with premium package, tow packge, rear bumper protector and a few other things was just under $30 OTD using the USAA purchase program. We couldn't approach that in the genesis. -
explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 10,001
wayne21 Posts: 234It wasn't just random. We'd been exploring for about a year before actually buying. We looked at a variety of scenarios and options. When we saw what was available in the sedan market we'd have bought a camry without a doubt - not a fusion or sonata. But for a couple thousand more we got a much nicer vehicle. And yes, that was just what WE wanted to do. Others may not even consider it.
But it looks to me like hyundai focused on an electronics package for youths with a car built around it focusing on "green" or "saving the planet". We're conservative christians and take care of the earth it, but don't worship and we don't talk on the phone or text while driving so those things didn't matter to us. IF the 2011 sonata had a 6 cyl option this year, I genuinely think we may have purchased it and probably not have even gone to the toyota dealer, but who knows. We're happy with our decision and that's what is important to us. -
syitalian25 Posts: 303I bet you could have talked the dealer into giving you $3000 off to make the base Genesis $30K. The Venza is a nice car but not a mid-sized sedan, I am glad you found something you like though.
Also I assure you the 2011 Sonata is definitely faster than the Camry XLE.. and the GDI is very peppy. And if the 0-60 is close, wait until you got to some turns and you would know who is going to win that race, especially if it's the SE. And if you equiped the Camry XLE to have most of the same features as the Sonata Limited, it would come to $29K vs. $25,295. I think you were looking for more of a quiet cruiser type of vehicle though. -

wayne21 Posts: 234Lemme get this straight: you objected to the Genesis because it's "too green"?
No. I think the sonata was built for "greenies", not the genesis. My wife teaches and the youth seem to worship the earth - that's where the "greenies" comment came from.
On the USAA website, I could not get a genesis near 30k OTD or may have considered it. I was also buying safety to protect myself from Tiffannee (with two e's) while she is busy driving and texting her friend asking where she was at (ending her sentence with a preposition, of course)
I, too, am an old dog, but am not afraid of learning new tricks. But staying safe so I can learn scuba is important to me. USAA says talking on the cell phone while driving is as dangerous as driving while impaired. I'll learn my new tricks while staying safe. -
backy Twin CitiesPosts: 18,787I think the Sonata was designed to cope with the upcoming fuel economy regs--lighter weight than most mid-sized sedans, I4 engines only, etc. Hyundai seems very focused on meeting/exceeding those targets ahead of the mandated schedule. I suppose that could be characterized as "green", although Hyundai would probably call it "blue", per the "blue" versions of some of their cars that get higher fuel economy.
On the Genesis, another route to that if you really wanted one would be to get a slightly used one for under your $30k target that would actually have a longer bumper-to-bumper warranty than your Venza. -
wayne21 Posts: 234I'm sure hyundai gave a lot of thought to their decisions and I believe it will prove to be wise. For us, we had only one vehicle to worry about, not a company or business or anything to that extent.
We weren't interested in anything used and for the warranty, we got a lifetime powertrain warranty. It's probably only at the dealership - I failed to even ask that - but we don't plan on moving anyway. I think it is more likely that toyota will restructure itself under a different name/brand or something when the full effect of the lawsuits hits them. Foreign owned and no union labor? What were they thinking!! -

wayne21 Posts: 234Actually, there is probably a lot to be said for that. For the midsize sedan to be the bread and butter for auto manufacturers, I think they may miss the mark a bit. Looking purely at the 6 cyl side (as I didn't look at 4 cyl) I see a lot of issues. For me, and perhaps only me, some of the things that turned me off on the brands I looked at were:
Nissan - CVT (they own you if you ever have transmission problems and good luck when you want to sell it AND don't let the IRS make your options packages for you as they are too complex)
Toyota - history of 6 speed transmission issues (I don't see the UA as a problem, but as a government/lawyer issue - again, only me)
Honda - VCM problems
Ford - 6 speed transmission unsure what gear it is to be in
Mazda - didn't really look at them as I once owned an RX-7 and don't want to ever deal with mazda again
Chrysler - speaks for itself. Lifetime warranty? For the car or the company?
Perhaps a "why I did not buy a midsize sedan" OR "what consumers are searching for in a midsize sedan" would be a good idea. As for me, I don't plan to buy anything for at least five more years. -

wayne21 Posts: 234Does your Venza, being, I assume, essentially a Camry wagon, not have the same transmission that Toyota puts in the Camry?
These were issues for ME and my views only, not necessarily anyone elses. As for the transmission - it does indeed have the camry drivetrain. I stated they have a "history" of 6 speed transmission problems. I believe the issues to be resolved and am not worried about it. Again, just my view of it. Not saying I'm right or wrong, but I felt comfortable enough about it to "put my money where my mouth is" on this one. -

aqua33v6 Posts: 38As for the "wind noise" on the 2010 Sonata? I've driven just about every car in the midsize class, and the 2006 - 2010 Sonatas are very quiet. On the freeway at 70MPH I have been very impressed with their low wind and road noise. The '06 to '10 Sonatas are just as quiet as any newer Camry I've driven or ridden in (and I have very sharp hearing). I own a 2006 Sonata, and its quietness is one of its many strengths.
About the 2011 Sonata, you said in a post earlier today:
"We were rather disappointed. We thought it was cheaply built..."
...but then just a couple hours later, you follow that up with:
"IF the 2011 sonata had a 6 cyl option this year, I genuinely think we may have purchased it"
Gee, the car sure feels cheaply built... but it has a V6, so I'll buy it anyway! Sorry, I'm just having a hard time calculating this. Genuinely - a real hard time. -
wayne21 Posts: 234OK. Last post for me. Apparently my views are not the same as others... but that's what helps make the world go 'round. Fortunately, we obligated only our finances, are responsible only to ourselves and are pleased with our decision.
We had followed the sonata for more than a year. We toured the hyundai plant just south of Montgomery (perhaps someone can find out if it is actually within the city limits and bring this to my attention). We pretty much had our hearts set on a sonata and thus the "attachment" to the sonata. First we'd been "excited" about a new car in quite some time. All the hype. All the ads. Etc. Had the sonata come with a 6 cylinder, we most likely could have or would have overlooked a number of other things we didn't care for (I know... how could you not care for something? Why don't you point out what they are? and I've seen the new sonata and there's nothing someone couldn't care for... etc, etc) For us.. and us alone... the ONLY midsize car we cared for was the toyota camry - and we didn't even plan on looking at a toyota. We had never heard of or seen a venza until we pulled into the toyota dealership. (I'm sure someone would like to know how we didn't know about the venza..etc..etc.. The venza isn't a midsize sedan... Did you know they make them in Kentucky where they still have moonshiners?... etc etc) We put a lot of thought into it over the following week. We COULD have purchased a 2010 6 cyl camry XLE for less than a 2011 sonata limited (I know....how can one compare those 2 cars? they aren't the same years... etc, etc, etc) and the 2011 6 cyl camry XLE for not much more than the 2011 sonata. After looking at and driving the camry, fusion and sonata we ruled out the latter two. After we saw the venza and drove it, we opted to look into it. For a couple thousand more we felt we got a far better vehicle than we could have with a midsize car. It takes us a while to save $30 and thus we didn't want to exceed it. We could have bought a more expensive car, but we set our limit at $30k OTD. (Now the financial experts can point out the benefits of zero percent for five years from toyota, or lease vs. buy or whatever makes you happy). We have no debt and wanted no debt. We wanted the best midsize sedan we could get for $30k or less out the door and believe we got a far superior vehicle for our $30k budget. We are happy (I know we could be happier if we had just followed someone else's advice or if we had just done this or that). Forgive me if I offended anyone's logic or decision making processes, but I just thought I'd share MY experiences with the midsize sedan and why we opted NOT to go that route. -
xmech Posts: 90I know this debate has died down some so I'm sorry if I'm dragging it back out, but here's why many people, like me, aren't fond of purchasing used:
Why I prefer to buy new -
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855My only point was that what I interpreted as your list of issues with midsize sedans are not unique to the midsize sedan offerings. They appear to be mostly engine/transmission issues and the same engines/transmissions are, of course, used in vehicles other than the midsize sedan from these manufacturers.

rwdfan Posts: 15Hi guys, I have to replace my commuting car in July this year and I have a short list of contenders after researching and test driving a few of those. My list: 2010 Honda Civic LX, 2010 Ford Fusion EX, 2010 Chevy Malibu, 2010 (yes, the older model) Sonata. My concerns: The Civic will go through a redesign for MY 2011, therefore, I'm not sure, my budget is no more than $18,000 OTD (perhaps I would have to buy the Fusion or the Maliby as used cars with less than 25K miles on them). Yesterday, driving through a Sonata dealer, I saw a GLS automatic for less than $15,000 with 72 months financing at 0%. I never had a Hyundai, but it's getting difficult to pass this price level, the car itself has several things standard that the others don't and perhaps by July, there will be additional discount for the ones left on the lot Anyway, they had about a dozen of those in the lot, I don't think they will sell all of them unless they add more discount. Any thoughts ? Anyone has a 2009/10 Sonata GLS 4 cyl. and could provide some insight ? Thank you.
thegraduate Posts: 9,731I couldn't find a GLS Automatic in Birmingham, AL because they were selling faster than I could get to them. I wanted a 2010 GLS with the Popular Equip. Package but the closest one I could find was in Columbus, GA and it was priced about $1,000 higher than what you're looking at here in the SE. Birmingham only had Limited models left, best I could tell.
I'd go with the Sonata; the depreciation hit has really already happened in part, but you still get a brand new car without the worry of who abused it before-hand.
Go test-drive one.

Victoriano Elementary School Reviews
Victoriano is a great school :)
I love Victoriano Elementary School. My son is currently in the 4th grade and has attended there since Kindergarten, and my daughter is currently in K. I have found most of the teachers and staff are very caring. They are very dedicated to making the most out of the learning process to give the children a solid educational stepping stone. I am very involved in the school, and the teachers encourage parent involvement.
Unfortunately, due to district budget constraints, all sports and other extra curricular activities have been suspended.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm trying to find out some information about the type designer Gustav F. Schroeder. All I am able to stir up so far is very cursory.
I figured if anyone could help me, it would be the great minds at Typophile.
Can anyone here point me in a good direction to find useful information about Schroeder?
Thanks in advance!
There seems to be enough basic info (such as where he was living at some key points in time) to be able to use some of the available genealogy sources, including newspaper searches for related articles. Probably not much in Mill Valley, but as you know, there are/were quite a few papers in Saint Louis. There are also immigration records, naturalization data, census records, military records, and lots more. It depends on what kind of information you're looking for. - Herb
If you search for a type designer always look at first at the Klingspor Museum. Hans Reichardt has made a pdf from most of them. See the link.
On the last page of the pdf also some references are listed you can probably find at a library like Columbia.

Here is the new map for the 2009 season.
Here is last years 2008 migration season map. In checking last years map, I see they arrived here April 4th. It won't be long now. Sue...putting up feeders soon |
Follow-Up Postings:
A sure sign of spring for me is when this map becomes available. Thanks, Sue. |
I can't wait...I have my feeders sitting on the counter waiting to go and just ordered a new one. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hummzinger
It won't be long now as they are at the northern edge of TN. I'd best be getting my feeders up. Sue |
So have they found 'your' feeder(s) yet? Though the very first sitings on the map in my area was March 26th, I did not see my first hummer at the feeder until yesterday. Anyone else seeing them and seeing them regularly? Some years I tend to have more than others, though I never really have a lot like my neighbor. She has been feeding them several more years than I have and also has a pond nearby. I'm not sure if that maybe entices more to her house/feeders or not. Anyone know? Nice feeder Ronnie! Sue |
