More than 170 years of publishing
Our history is like a very good book: chapter after chapter, an interesting story unfolds.
On 10 May 1842 (his 25th birthday), Julius Springer founded what is now Springer Science+Business Media in Berlin. Of course, the modern Springer is very different from the company that Julius Springer founded and there are parts of Springer (e.g. Vieweg and Bohn Stafleu van Loghum) that were founded even before 1842.
The first of Julius Springer's ventures was a bookstore in Berlin, quickly followed by the publishing house.
A. E. Kluwer, the other "father" of the present day company (BertelsmannSpringer and Kluwer Academic Publishers merged in 2004) also founded his publishing house in the 19th Century in the Netherlands.
After the founding of the Vienna office in 1924, Springer opened another branch in New York in 1964, followed by counterparts in Tokyo, London, Paris and Hong Kong shortly thereafter. The company quickly became one of the world's leading scientific publishers.
In 1999, Bertelsmann acquired a majority share in Springer-Verlag. In 2003, the British financial investors Cinven and Candover acquired Kluwer Academic Publishers (KAP) and BertelsmannSpringer, which were merged in 2004 to form the present-day Springer Science+Business Media.
In October 2008, Springer announced the acquisition of BioMed Central, a pioneer in the world of open access publishing, making Springer, in effect, the world's largest open access publisher.
In 2013, the sale of Springer to BC Partners, one of the few truly pan-European investors, was announced.
Healthy organic growth and recent acquisitions, the embrace of technological advances (i.e. ePublishing, new platforms, mobile) and its dedicated employees provide the basis for sustainable service to the global scientific and professional community.

It doesn't snow in San Francisco. If it did, I would be the first to be making snow angels and snowmen with vintage hats, vintage buttons, and an organic carrot nose from whole foods.
I really want to see real snow this winter. Thats on my Christmas list. Lets see what else is on my list this year:
1. Real Snow
2. Raspberry Hot Chocolate
3. A Gingerbread House
4. A boyfriend who will wear matching red plaid pajamas and watch Home Alone 2 with me (this is continued on from my list from last year)
5. San Francisco apartments to put up Christmas lights
6. New Sewing Scissors
7. For everyones holiday wishes to come true
So the headpiece I am wearing in this photo is a special vintage headpiece my friend Hilary (who modeled for me during the Chictopia10 conference in Feb) got for me for my bday. She is so funny, she also made me cupcakes. They were really good. We don't get to see each other very much because I live in SF and she lives in the valley, but when we do hangout we have a lot of fun. She even took this photo for me. The dress I am wearing is a brocade halter dress I designed for my Fall 2010 runway. It was showcased on the runway during the Chictopia 10 Media Tech Summit in September this year.
I'm starting to work on my Spring 11 collection. I'm excited about it. It's gonna be different. I try to make each collection completely different from the last. I can't hint to much about it though.
Snickerdoodle Dress
-Brocade halter dress
-Gold halter straps
-pleated skirt
-railroad zipper closure at center back
-finished seams

Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Red Sox and pitcher Andrew Miller agreed to terms on a one-year, non-guaranteed contract on Saturday, avoiding arbitration.
Miller, 28, was 1-2 with a career-low 2.64 earned run average over 37 games for Boston last season.
However, his campaign was cut short due to a left foot injury that saw him undergo Lis-Franc ligament repair surgery on July 15.
Since breaking into the majors in 2006 with Detroit, he has appeared in 186 games, including 66 starts, and is 25-33 with a 5.33 ERA. He also pitched for the Marlins in addition to the Tigers and Red Sox.

Hi All,
I'm enamored with bougainvilleas, but I live in an area that get frosts. BOUGAINVILLEA Does anyone know if there's an animal "hardy bougainvilla"? Thanx, j. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by Wilmington_Islander 9A/Sunset 28 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 19, 04 at 11:34
The purple form can take 27 degrees unharmed, 26 degrees with leaf loss but the vine itself is fine...I've heard that it is "vine hardy", not "leaf hardy" to 23-24 degrees..anything lower than that and it becomes a "perennial". If you type in hardy bougainvillea to "google.com", it'll bring up b. spectabilis, I believe, also known as hardy bougainvillea...I had thought it was called b. brasilensis, but a lady in SOFLA corrected me...if you are a 9b climate, or a 9a in a protected area, your bougie will probably do fine. |
thanx wilminton islander!!!!!! |
- Posted by kerrican2001 z9b CA (My Page) on Mon, Apr 26, 04 at 12:10
jxa44, You didn't indicate how much frost you get but most low elevation climates in California can support bougainvillea. We get some light frosts (inland SF Bay Area) and ours don't even stop blooming! They are extremely vigorous. We have "San Diego Red" and some pink one and they are great. |
Thanx kerrican2001, we actually live in an area in northern california that gets frequent hard frosts (and in feb it is not uncommon for it to snow). I am drawn to plants that don't do well in our cold winters -- so I guess I'll be doing a lot of winter protecting. why is it that I always want to grow plants that my micro climate doesn't easily support? ;-) |
i lived in Santa Rosa and grew them trained against the house// most winters they froze back ,,but they would bloom on the new wood i planted a bunch of them in groups of threes ,, that way at least you had some leaves if they all froze back and had to recover san diego red and the common purple one are the hardiest .... texas sunset hates the cold , but is beautiful |
- Posted by Bougielover 6aONSW (My Page) on Thu, Jan 27, 05 at 2:06
Thanks for all these great feedback! I'm researching to make my purchase of my favourite bougies. Is there a good source for mail order? I live in Ontario Canada. Thanks! |

Print cardigan sweater

Comments about Animal Print Cardigan by National®:
I bought this to wear with a beautiful piece of jewelery, and the color is great with it. I will layer it over a blouse or whatever and wear it with black pants, and I think this is the only thing it will go with. I have not worn it yet, as it is too hot still to wear it here. It does have a subtle print and styling. And a bit stiff, but I am sure that it will soften up a bit with laundering and wear.
Low-key jungle print

I haven't worn this yet but it feels comfortable and looks very attractive. It goes along with the animal print trend without being obvious, and the teal and black color combo is different from the usual browns and blacks. I'm looking forward to wearing this over a black top in the fall.
Python printed cardie
By Auntie M. from Kansas
from Topeka, KS
I've received a number of compliments on this sweater. It's different, but not too different. While I prefer 100% cotton, the cotton/acrylic mixture is fine.
Good purchase

About Me Classic
I'm surprised this sweater is still available. It is very cute, looks nice on, and is a good weight since there is acrylic along with the cotton in it. The "python" print is quite attractive and not overtly animal print-even though it IS animal print. I really like this sweater!

If you like animal prints and something different, this fits the bill. The teal color is very nice as well, for the cold weather months. Washes well. Do more print cardigans!

THANE: Intense anger and a sense of helplessness prevail among lakhs of families in Thane and Kalyan-Dombivli, where petrol costs rose to Rs 74.68 and Rs 73.90 a litre on Friday. The Thane price is the highest in the Mumbai metropolitan region.
The reason for the higher price is 4.25-7% octroi. "The Thane municipal corporation (TMC) imposed the octroi in 1999 on fuel reaching the city. The decision was approved by the state government," a civic official said. The TMC's octroi revenue from fuel is around Rs 9 crore annually.
The majority of the population of the two cities works in Mumbai. Finding public transport woefully inadequate, many drive to their offices. The fuel price hike will stretch their budgets. They say they have almost no alternative: bus queues are unending, gobbling up time, and car-pooling is impractical because of odd return timings.
The cost of commute is anyhow a lot for even those who have stopped driving. Parag Deshmukh, a banker who resides at Hiranandani Estate, Ghodbunder Road, said: "My cost of commute is over Rs 200 a day. The AC bus trip up to Sion costs me Rs 50. From there, the autorickshaw fare to my office in Kalina is Rs 60. The same applies to the return journey."
Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena staged a protest against the fuel price hike, accusing the Congress-led governments at the Centre and the state of insensitivity.

Yes, I know all of that. The problem is that each tube adds a
significant and difficult to handle nonlinearity, and it gets pretty
difficult to handle. With the current Permafrost you can model any
topology, but loops and conditions have to be implemented in C...
hence theoretically, yes you can, in practice it's really too hard and
the performance would be very poor.
I'm maybe going to work on this kind of stuff in the near future, but
I don't know yet what I will be doing in a couple of months. :-)

(Updates with company comment in second paragraph.)
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Suncor Energy Inc. restarted a gasoline-producing unit at its Commerce City refinery in Colorado and returned to planned rates, the company said.
Sneh Seetal, a Suncor spokeswoman, said by telephone that the unit was down "for a short period of time" and there was "no material impact to production." The refinery returned to full service Oct. 10.
After the unit was back online, "Suncor experienced problems with the compressor on the Plant 1 flare gas recovery system," Shannon McMillan, a unit supervisor for Colorado's Air Pollution Control Division, said in an e-mail. "With the compressor being down, gases that would normally be captured by the recovery system were instead flared."
The compressor was back online about 2 a.m. yesterday, McMillan said.
The refinery has a capacity of 104,000 barrels a day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

I want to cross pollinate some roses this year, for this fall's seeds. If I collect the pollen off of one rose, can I save it for a few days/weeks until another blooms? How? Can I refrigerate/freeze it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Dry the pollen thoroughly (at least 24 hours in a warm-ish, dry place, ideally on a square of aluminum foil, which can be folded for storage) then place it in a container (glass jar w/lid, or ziploc bag) then place it in the freezer. Pollen stored this way can remain viable for a year, if necessary. Allow it at least an hour to come up to room temperature before opening the container used to store in the freezer. |
The reason Trospero suggested allowing the foil to warm to room temperatures before opening is to prevent it from forming water and spoiling the pollen. Once pollen gets wet, it's virtually impossible to use. Not that it may not be viable, but how do you properly spread it when it becomes paste? You want it to remain dry until it is applied. And, if your weather or house are rather humid, you may need to dry it two or three days until you can see pollen dust releasing from the anthers. We've had a few periods of humidity this spring and anthers required noticeably longer to release pollen during those periods. Good luck! Kim |

Robinson's Rescue Low Cost Spay-Neuter Facility and the Caddo Parish Commission join together to fight the pet overpopulation and euthanasia problems in Caddo Parish by starting SSNIP, the new Subsidized Spay-Neuter Incentive Program.
Robinson's Rescue Executive Director Freda Powell describes the program as income-based. She said the program will provide "our already low fees cut in half for people who have lower income, and for people who are on government-subsidized programs, (they) will get the service for free."
Powell said that they get dozens of calls each day from people looking for homes for their unwanted puppies and kittens, but Caddo and Bossier shelters constantly stay full. "We are trying to combat the problem with prevention," Powell told us. "That's what spaying and neutering does. It prevents all of the unwanted pets that we see running around our city."
Loving pet owner of three dogs, Wanda Hay, says she notices the issue of pet overpopulation in the area and hopes that pet owners take the responsible step towards ending this problem by spaying and neutering their pets. "Most veterinarians will do it at a reduced cost if they ask them to because the vet wants to see that happen, too."
When pets do not get spayed or neutered, kennels in animal shelters fill up with strays and unwanted animals. Powell told us that when the shelters are full, the only other alternative is to euthanize the homeless animals.
She said that, with SSNIP -- "we are trying to cut the euthanizing rate, and we are trying to make sure that there are no pets that don't have families."
Robinson's Rescue Facility encourages people in this situation to call and make an appointment to find out if they qualify for the free services. The free services from SSNIP are available for Caddo Parish residents only, but all pets are able to receive the already low costs of spaying and neutering at Robinson's Rescue.
Hay hopes that pet owners make responsible decisions and had some final advice for them -- "Take care of them and love them and treat them like their own children."

Duck a l'Orange
Recipe courtesy James Peterson, The Duck Cookbook, Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 2003
- Sara's Secrets
Traditional recipes for Duck a l'Orange call for bitter Seville oranges to provide the right note of dissonance to match the recipe's sweetness[. When I can't find Seville oranges, I look for kumquats; if I can't find kumquats, I use a regular juicing orange. Grand Marnier also adds a hint of bitter orange. Making Duck a l'Orange is a useful project because once you can understand how it's made, you can improvise virtually any French duck sauce using the same method.]
- 2 Pekin (Long Island) duck breasts or 1 mallard breast (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each)
- Salt and pepper
- 1 juicing orange or 6 kumquats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup concentrated duck broth, 2 tablespoons homemade duck glaze or 1 tablespoon commercial glaze
- 1/8 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic, sherry, or red wine vinegar, or more to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- Orange wedges
Use a sharp knife to score the skin side of the duck breasts in 2 directions, about 20 slashes per direction. Season the breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Reserve in the refrigerator.
Cut off 1 end so the orange can stand on the cutting board, and slice off 2 (2-inch) strips of zest. Cut the zest into fine julienne, then blanch the zest for 1 minute in the cup of boiling water. Juice the orange, strain the juice into a saucepan, and boil it until it's reduced to about 1 tablespoon.
If you're using the kumquats instead, cut the round ends off the kumquats and eat or discard them. Set the kumquats on 1 end and use a sharp paring knife to trim the zest off three of them. Cut all the kumquats in half lengthwise, and working over a strainer set in a non-reactive bowl, remove the pulp with a small spoon. Push the pulp against the strainer to extract the juice. (Don't worry if you end up with only a tablespoon or 2.) Place the kumquat zests on a cutting board and slice them into fine julienne. Bring the 1/2 cup water to a boil over high heat, blanch the zests for 1 minute, then drain them in a strainer.
If you're using concentrated duck broth, reduce it in a small saucepan to about 2 tablespoons until it's lightly syrupy.
Heat a saute pan over medium to high heat and saute the duck breasts, skin side down, 8 to 10 minutes for the Pekin duck breasts and 12 to 18 minutes for the mallard. Turn the breasts over, adjust the heat to high, and cook for 1 minute for the Pekin duck and 2 minutes for the mallard.
Pour the fat out of the pan if it hasn't burned, save it for omelets and deglaze the pan with the reduced kumquats or orange juice. Use a whisk to add the glaze. Add the sugar, Grand Marnier, kumquat or orange zest, and vinegar, and simmer the sauce for about 30 seconds to cook off the alcohol. At this point, adjust the thickness of the sauce its consistency is up to you, but many cooks make their sauces too thick; add 1 or 2 teaspoons water to thin it or simmer the sauce for a moment to reduce and thicken it. Whisk in the cold butter, keeping the pan and whisk moving until all the butter melts. (Don't let it sit without whisking or the butter will separate.) Season, to taste, with the pepper, and if necessary, a few more drops of vinegar.
Slice the breasts crosswise, arrange the slices on individual heated plates, and spoon the sauce over the breasts. Serve hot, with orange wedges if desired.

Photos: Arraignment of Cleveland, Ohio, man in kidnap, rape of Amanda Berry, 2 other women
A man suspected of keeping three women captive inside his decrepit house for a decade was arraigned Thursday on kidnapping and rape charges. He is accused of holding them under conditions so oppressive they were allowed outside for only a few moments in disguise and never saw a chance to escape until this week.
Ariel Castro was arraigned in court Thursday and is charged in the kidnappings and rapes. His two brothers also appeared in court but were freed without being charged.
Investigators said the women apparently were bound with ropes and chains, and were subjected to prolonged sexual and psychological abuse and suffered miscarriages.

Abraxis BioScience acquired a sterile injectable Phoenix-based manufacturing plant from Watson Pharmaceuticals. The facility, which has the ability to produce lyophilized powders, suspension products, and aqueous and oil solutions, currently manufactures products for both Watson and other third parties.
The facility is approximately 200,000 sq. ft. and includes manufacturing as well as chemistry and microbiology laboratories. Abraxis officials say that this plant, along with its manufacturing site located in Melrose Park, IL, will produce the company's current and future products. This is expected to take place after completion of the planned separation of its product business—Abraxis Oncology and Abraxis Research (the new Abraxis BioScience)—from its hospital-based product business, Abraxis Pharmaceutical Products.Also, Abraxis will serve as a contract manufacturer for certain injectable products currently produced in this site for a specified period of time.

desperately I am looking for a solution for a kind of very stupid and annoying problem:
I bought my Sony z1 compact in China. Model version: M51, Also called "colorful" in China
This Phone has a for China modified Android version installed. Nothing related to google works.
Well, sure the search engine in the browser. But I need the calendar, play store, etc.
Now I am thinking, has anybody experience with this device? ( only find posts to D5503)
Would it be possible to just update it with an international version? (Android 4.4 firmware 14.3.A.0.681)
Do i need to root, unlock Bootloader, or should a "normal update" work was well?
Or any other suggestions how to proceed?
I come the Apple world, where a jailbreak is one download and one click, I rooted a Xiaomi 2s with some small difficulties, but this looks way more complicated with this phone.... So any help would be appreciated..

Rogers Centre
Attendance: 28,308
Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - Bill Hall hit a pair of home runs and drove in four runs, as Boston used the long ball to support Clay Buchholz in a 10-1 pounding of Toronto at Rogers Centre.
Hill finished 3-for-5, Adrian Beltre hit a three-run home run and Mike Lowell contributed three hits, an RBI and run scored. Buchholz (13-5) had superb movement on his pitches Wednesday, surrendering one unearned run on five hits with four strikeouts and two walks over eight frames for the Red Sox, winners of three games in a row.
"It's a fun game to be a part of because as the game rolls on you always have something going on," Buchholz said. "It wasn't a boring game by any means. Fortunately I was able to throw eight innings and keep the team in the game for a win."
Shaun Marcum (10-6) was hit hard for eight runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and three walks over four-plus frames. He gave up four home runs as well in the losing effort. Adam Lind finished with three hits for the Blue Jays, who have dropped two straight.
"Marcum certainly didn't have his good stuff tonight," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. "They kind of beat up on us."
Each team managed to score a first-inning run without a hit. Two walks and a hit by pitch loaded the bases for Lowell, who looked at a close 3-2 pitch just off the inside part of the plate, forcing in a run.
In the bottom of the frame, Travis Snider reached on a Lowell fielding error, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, scampered to third on a passed ball then tagged and scored on Jose Bautista's sacrifice fly to right.
Boston tagged Marcum for a run in the second thanks to a solo shot off the bat of Hall, who was swinging for the fences again in the fourth. With a runner on first and one out, Hall pulled a low-and-away offering well into the seats in left for his second homer of the game and a 4-1 advantage.
The Red Sox then used more power to chase Marcum and extend their lead in the fifth. J.D. Drew began the proceedings with a long home run off a facade in the second deck in right-center field, then Victor Martinez singled in front of a David Ortiz base hit. Beltre followed with a three-run shot to right for an 8-1 edge, ending Marcum's evening.
Boston kept the onslaught going against the Toronto bullpen, as Hall's single to center scored Lowell for the fifth run of the frame.
Martinez's RBI single in the eighth made it a 10-1 game.

screen calibration problem
My touch accuracy is suddenly poor, especially in the Phone keypad. Having rebooted the phone, now I see that the 4-5-6 line isn't responding on the keyboard. I suppose a hard rest is in order? Any other ideas to try first? Thanks!

Re: screen calibration problem
A further note: while in a call, the keyboard is slightly lower on the sceren, and the upper row (1-2-3) is now mostly unresponsive. So it seems that an area of my screen is not responding properly, rather than specific keys.

Re: screen calibration problem
Thanks for your guidance, cyanogen-man. After a phone reset didn't fix the problem, I took it to the Sprint store. They ordered me a new one using my insurance, to come in 2 or 3 days. In the meantime, my phone has resumed working. Now I am unsure what to do. If they are providing a new phone, I think I better take it. But if it's a refurb, I'm not sure I want to use my insurance on it. I once had more problems with a Treo refurb than with the phone I'd traded in!
Re: screen calibration problem
Its up to you bro your money your call. (No pun intended) if you feel good about the phone keep it if not go with the replacement

Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems
xhonzi Posts: 7For what it's worth... I called and they basically told me "so sorry, too bad!" I talked to "the law firm" in NYC and I asked her for advice on the attitude to take. I said, "Is there any point to making a nuisance of myself now that they've already said 'no'?" She got frank with me and said, "Does your wife ever drive this car?" I responded telling her it was primarily hers. She said, "Good. Have YOUR WIFE call Honda. Have her remind them that she's a mother of small children." My wife normally likes me to make these kind of calls, but she made the call after the suggestion. 10 minutes later, Honda America was paying half.
jumanator Posts: 7I'm not having any luck with assistance from American Honda. Looks like they're not paying out any more after the extended warranty.So it looks like AAMCO will do the repair for $1864 (plus $375 for torque converter if needed) with 12/12,000 warranty. They'll do the actual rebuilding of my tranny. Has anyone had any experience with the AAMCO rebuilds, good or bad? I also have Gibraltar Transmissions around me but haven't tried them.
cottduke Posts: 11Read some of the prior posts about AAMCO rebuilds...seems that some haven't been great. You might read this Honda/Acura blog post (and the reader comments) regarding a Honda specialty shop using H&A rebuilt transmissions instead of the OEM Honda trannys.

rfreitas Posts: 63Sorry to hear that. I have seen some posting of people using Aamco, but haven't heard how they worked out. I have also been reading about Jasper Transmissions. You might call them and get a quote. There is a link on this website to Jasper Transmissions:
or you can probably google it. -
tmock13 Posts: 38Here is an old post that I wrote as a reply to someone else this past July with the same problem as you. This response will hopefully help.
Your best bet is to call Honda Cust. Service 800-999-1009 and explain your situation. Have your vin # ready because Honda cust service will ask for it. My 02 Odyssey transmission went bad with only 42k miles and incurred a $3200 bill from AAMCO Transmission. I called Honda and they reimburse me $1000 for the problem . Honda acknowledge that there is a major problem with the transmissions for the 1999-2004 Odyssey. They are handling problems on a case by case basis.
Since your van has 103k miles, your best bet is to repair it at AAMCO and purchase the additional 3 yr/36000 miles warranty or even a lifetime warranty, if you plan to keep the van for awhile.
It is just unfortunate that us Honda Odyssey owners of 1999-2004 have to deal with this transmission problem. -
jumanator Posts: 7cottduke & rfreitas-
Thanks for responses. So far I've read thru nearly half the posts but don't remember any bad reports on AAMCO. They say they'll rebuild with all the latest and greatest but who knows if thats any better than the Honda rebuilds. I'm in NJ and don't think I want to keep looking for repair shops with the Ody bearly driveable. I may just stick with AAMCO and maybe sell before the 1-year warranty is up. -
autohowzer Posts: 3I have 2002 and had the same problem. At about 60.000 the bottom of my radiator was corroded (from winter road salt) and leaking coolant so it was replaced by a local mechanic (my favorite local Honda dealer started to find more and more mysterious things that were wrong with my van and charging me $$$ every time I bring the van in for routine maintenance etc). About a month later suddenly it felt like as if the clutch has gone out as the engine was revving yet the van wasn't moving much and then the engine light came on. About a 10 mph 1/4 mile later transmission stopped engaging(?) and the van basically stop moving except in reverse very slowly. I get out and see the trail of red transmission fluid as it was spewing the fluid everywhere.
I towed it to the same mechanic and he mumbled something like the *coolant lines (running from tranny to radiator)* somehow came off. He claimed it wasn't his fault although he replaced the radiator only a month ago. Luckily when he reattached the hose and refilled the transmission fluid all was fine. It costed me towing and replacement hose. Apparently from reading Warriorcoach's post it is critical to cinch the zip tie that hold the said line at exact same point. I think my mechanic believed he didn't do anything wrong yet couldn't explain exactly why it came off. He said things happen while car is moving and bouncing around!!! I was just happy that I didn't have to replace the tranny. -
lyndy Posts: 2Sorry about your tranny. I thought there was some kind of reimbursement program from Honda re the 2000 Odyssey transmission. If the dealer wont help, call Honda America - the number is in your car's manual. I thought about going through the dealer but decided to deal directly with Honda America to speed things up. I made my pitch based on Honda's reputation for reliability and custormer loyalty (have owned other Honda's). Have your paperwork handy, including service records--I had to fax them mine.

q3d Posts: 3I have had problems eversince I had software update on my 07 Odyssey. It judder around 25-30 mph. Torque converter was then replaced. Right after that service though, I have difficulty getting my key out of the ignition while in the Park position. I would have to shift gears in and out of Park and shake the shift lever while in Park and pray that I can get my keys out. Anyone, please give me some insight. I had my car serviced at Honda World in Westminster, CA and do not think I will ever go there again. Problems after problems eversince the update in a car that was fine before the update. My car is still under warranty but my time is very precious. Where is a good Honda dealer and Tech in southern California I should take my minivan to?
Thank you. -
tinaleggrdh Posts: 1Please DO NOT use aamco!!!!!! I am in the process of probably suing them. They had my car for 6 weeks, after telling me it would take no more than 5 days!!!!! I had to fight tooth and nail just to get my car back after 6 weeks, and it is in worse shape than the day I drove it into that place. The only thing I know to do is to sue them. From what I've read on the internet, this is a nation wide similar complaint!!!
tmock13 Posts: 38Sorry to hear about your experience with AAMCO. I had my 2002 Odyssey transmission serviced by AAMCO back in July and have no problem since. The only thing I am upset is the $3100 bill. Honda has acknowledged that there seems to be a widespread problem with the transmissions. I was reimbursed a $1000 as a "good will gesture" as they put it. But with only 41500 miles at the time, this transmission problem should not have happened.
As far as your complaint about AAMCO, it is an isolated problem. All AAMCO shops are independently owned and not all shops are the same. I was happy with my service. Hey tinaleggrdh, it is not fair to bash the whole franchise. Just think about it, if your Big Mac and service were terrible at your recent visit to a local McDonalds, does that mean all McDonalds are terrible?? Just be fair about it. -
wck Posts: 1I too had the similar problem with my 07 Odyssey about 55K on the clock. I took it back to the dealer within 1 month and had them replaced the motor mounts (front and rear), and the transmission torque converter. If you have the similar symptom below, take it to the dealer (Hope you still have warranty...) and make sure don't let them tell you that it is NORMAL.
The symptom for the motor mounts issue:
- Small cranking noise from front around 20 to 35 mpg.
- Small vibration on the break or gas paddle.
The symptom for the Transmission torque coverter:
- Car shakes badly around 20, 30, and 40 mpg at 1500 rpm.
- The shaking could be intermittent.
After some searching on the web, it looks like all these issue are well known issue and the motor mount issue could be due to VCM. Below is the link to explain:

Will I buy a Honda again? Hummm this is a tough question as I really like the handling of the Odyssey over the Sienna. But, after all the trouble and afraid some other shoes might drop after my Power train warranty expires in less than 4000 miles.... I think I will have to try Toyota next time. For those of you that are thinking to buy a Odyssey because of reliability, think twice! -
clara Posts: 17What should I do? I am a mom of 4 boys who is on the go and I am scared this van is going to fail on interstate. My 2004 Odyssey is leaking transmission fluid and does a clunk when shifting from park to reverse. Mechanic said he would replace 2 sensors and it was 50/50 whether that would work. He told me if it does not to consider getting rid of the van because the tranny would be about $5000 fix plus the van is about to get 105,000 mile service which would be another $1000 plus and I need brakes replaced $?. This is Honda #3 for me that I bought new and I service them and keep until they die. I would never expect this from a Honda!
lag25 Posts: 2OK, Here's the deal. I'm like the rest who have had good vehicles from Honda in the pas and now find ourselves on this site wondering which way to go due to the massive problems of transmissions, and other poor quality type problems, I'm in a fix. I found out that in order to pass DMV's smog certification requirements, none of the lights on your dash can be lit. But with my '03' Odyssey EX recently receiving it's 105,000 scheduled maintenance (I've been having many problems with my Odyssey 03'. I' blindly agreed with the e-cell phone number. I'm real tirec but what I need to exspress
vanmom6 Posts: 12After a NIGHTMARE with Honda American and the local dealership, I did replace my transmission at the dealership. I wanted to make sure that I got in writing the 3 yr/ 36k warranty on this new one. My plan is to drive it 2 more years and bail before I am in the situation again. I too am mom of 4 and driving around Atlanta is stressful enough without worrying about your transmission dying on I-285! II am SO disappointed in Honda. I bought my Odyssey because I wanted stellar reliability and excellent customer service. Unfortunately, I didn't get either!
bigdadi118 Posts: 1,207The common mistake is because lots of Honda buyers are NOT aware of this tranny problems, though infamous enough for regular forum visitors.
As soon as I learned the possible problems of tranny and the soft brake issue on my new 07 Ody, I got rid of it in 7 months. I can't drive a new car with worry all the time and the transmission and brakes are SAFETY issue which is very important. -
4grandsons Posts: 22Like many others, we too experienced a problem with the transmission torque converter. We received a letter from Honda stating that the transmission needed to be reprogrammed to correct a "judder." We definitely were aware of a problem prior to receiving the letter and experienced the same symptoms others have reported. After the transmission was reprogrammed the problem became worse, not better! We took it back and the dealer replaced the torque converter. While this fixed the major problems (steering wheel shaking at 65 MPH, transmission lurching around 35 MPH, etc.), it still experiences the "normal" behavior when downshifting at low speed and around 45 MPH. The dealer told us this was "normal" and is caused by the torque converter going into lockup. At 49,000 miles our concern was that this only temporarily fixed the problem and we would soon see it again.
We also had the brake master cylinder replaced and a couple of weeks ago another issue popped up, probably the power steering reservoir (called the dealer and was told they had replaced a few).
Enough is enough! Less than 50,000 miles on the odometer and three major mechanical issues? We traded it last weekend for a Toyota Sienna. -
4grandsons Posts: 22I tend to agree on the repairs. Another option is to ask your local Honda dealer to contact the regional Honda representative and ask for a "good faith" warranty if yours is out of warranty. I have had success with that in the past. Honda may pick up the repairs, but will most likely offer to split it with you. I've had Honda pick up as much as 80% of the cost and I paid 20%. I also agree with the comment about the Sienna. Ultimately that's what we went with. The problem is that right now it seems that there are very few minivans out there, unless you want a Chrysler or Dodge.
carlfries Posts: 1Well you can add another 2003 Honda Odyssey to the list of failed transmissions. Our died while we were on vacation in Ft. Myers Florida. We had to have it towed to the local dealer and rent a car to get back to Cincinnati. We have 118K miles on the car, but, I just had the PCM computer replaced earlier this year and have had the transmission serviced regularly. Honda will only come up with about 1,000.00. I am very disappointed. This HAD been a great van up until now. We put 190,000 mile on our 1997 Chrysler Town and Country and traded in on this van. That transmission was going strong (original) when I drove it to the dealer!
jaybee9 Posts: 12we too like clara are in the middle of a problem. Same story, 200 odyssey, tranny failed @ 90k, my local honda dealer fixed it at no cost ( apparently we just fell under the new extended warrnty period). Now at 124k tranny has failed again. called honda dealer in new rochelle,NY his worst case scenario, $4800. although he DId mention Am Honda sometimes kicks in 10-20-30- even 40% towards the repair.
I also am curious about AAMCO repair. Their place in New Rochelle said rebuilt tranny about $2195. He mentioned warranties of 1yr/12k 2yrs/24k 3yrs/36k also lifetime warranty that is transferrable. my question is if Am Honda will not come thru what are your experiences out there with AAMCO?

clara Posts: 17Well after much frustration Honda of America agreed to cover 50% of tranny so I am replacing it and thinking of selling it before the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty is over. The dealer was nice and helped with Honda of America. In my experience the dealership can deal better with Honda then the everyday person.
Am I thrilled? No, but it makes it worth it to avoid a large car payment that I had not planned on. Will I buy another Honda? I am not sure this problem has changed my view on Honda. -
jaybee9 Posts: 12Glad to hear you got SOME help. My van is in the driveway, and we will try putting in Trans. fluid to see if car will move, as we checked it last nite and it had no trans fliud.
If I can get it to move will try Honda dealer or AAMCO as they are very close together. Either way I also will reccomend to ANYONE not to buy the Odyssey.
Again if anyone has any experience with AAMCO I;d like to know -

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

Cloud Computing Up-And-Comers
With hundreds of cloud computing vendors taking to the Cloud Expo show floor at Salesforce's Dreamforce 2010 in San Francisco, there is a lot to see. From Salesforce integration and cloud consultation to data security and lead purity, Dreamforce's Cloud Expo had all of its bases covered.
And some of the cloud computing vendors making a splash are considered youngsters in the grand scheme of things. Many of them have just passed their one year anniversary, and most only have a handful of years under their collective belts (which is really no surprise, as Salesforce itself is just barely over a decade old). Here is a roundup of 10 younguns, none more than 7 years old, causing a stir at Dreamforce 2010.

Varda creates a richly textured essay that essentially looks at how one class of society lives off of the refuse of another. But besides raising the political and social implications of gleaning, Varda goes even deeper into something personal, by examining the process of aging itself, and raising questions of real value. Such as, when do we become mere scrap on the junk pile of life?
"Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse (The Gleaners and I)" is an elliptically subtle and beautifully evocative portrait of how one man's trash becomes another man's treasure. Directed and written by Agnes Varda. Produced by Agnes Varda. No distributor set. Documentary. French-language; subtitled. Not yet rated. Running time: 82 min.
