An holiday in Sicily is a magnific and unforgettable experience. The charm of the blu sea, the magic of the history, the friendly Sicilian people and the folklore will make your stay in Sicily an inimitable adventure. Stop dreaming and come in the island of the sun, let your journey begin!
Visiting Sicily means discover the glories of the past centuries that have left clear signs on the territory . In this region, magic, history, art, and culture are blended with the scenery and make a universe that will let you breathless. Recently, Sicily has begun to valorise its huge natural, artistic and historic heritage becoming one of the most wanted in Italy. The millenary history and the remains of the past are probably even more inviting and this is the real reason that induces thousands of tourists to visit Sicily every year. Hot sun and sunburned hills perform the classical Sicilian panorama, so the area is really varied and amazing. For this reason the area is highly multiforme and multicolored. Spread of rocky coast alternating with wide cliffs and rocks with strips of white sand, protected from the Mediterranean vegetation. The inland looks sometimes very green and fruitful, sometimes dry and moorland. Finally, the presence of some volcanoes, Etna in particular, contributes to the unique and incomparable landscape of Sicily. The artistic heritages are guarded as parts of natural wonders, and the magnificence of the old testimonies are presented to the people coming from all the world. Moreover you will be welcomed by the famous and warm Sicilian hospitality . The reasons to visit Sicily,then are several . Besides the main attractions you will enjoy the typical food, sports, spa resorts and religious spots. Are you still wondering where to spend your next holiday?
As for your stay in Sicily you can choose amoung hundreds hotels, luxury class or "cheap and clean" as well. In recent years is growing also the market of "Bed & Breakfast" and the apartments to rent...especially in minor islands. Whatever your choice you will have a private bathroom ensuite, as in Italy is not common to share bathroom as other countries of Europe. We think the best period to have an holiday in Sicily is between April and October; it rarely rains during this part of the year and the climate is mild except July and August when the temperature can easily reach and exceed the 40° degrees. So we recommend you to wear comfortable rubber shoes (the rubber sole will avoid you to slip on smooth flooring typical of the historical center of Palermo) and a a cap to protect you from the sun when it's too hot. Don't forget to bring with you a city map, it could be easy to get lost in the ancient city center of Palermo: dozens of street that looks all the same, but in everyone you will find something nice to see: an old palace which belonged to a nobleman, a balcony from which overlooked a noblewoman (you will notice that the railings of the old balconies of Palermo had a curved shape specifically designed to fit the shape of their dress allowing the noble ladies to lean out ), a little known church but magnificent inside or just a breathtaking view. However, don't forget in Italy (especially in Sicily) is not easy to find someone speaking English; you will have to face some difficulties if you try to interact with a bus driver, a barman, a policeman or simply a a passer-by. For this reason we recommend you to try to ask your questions to youngers (new generations are starting to study English seriously). Anyway, even if they don't speaks English at all, Sicilians are very proud about their country and they are delighted to help a tourist visiting thei city, so it's usual that they will try in any case to help you, even accompanying you to your destination (a square, a church, a monument) instead of showing the way with the hand.

Jose Asuncion Silva
These recollections with the scent of ferns
Are the idyll of early years
(Gregorio Gutierrez González)
Accompanying the hazy memories
Time so generously glorifies,
Returning to a welcoming heart
And flocking like white butterflies,
Come fantasies of happy childhood days.
Blue Beard, Little Red Ridinghood,
Lilliputians and the giant Gulliver,
All of you, floating in the mist of dreams,
Spread your wings, fly,
So I, the happy journeyer
Through storybooks, may summon you
To join with other, beloved characters.
O blessed youth! Eyes aglimmer
With dawning discovery
Follow the weary teacher's hand
Across the big red figures
In the tattered primer,
Where traces of vague recognition,
Rewarding periods of youthful despondency,
Beneath indifferent shadows
Begin forming letters into words
On a dewy, white,
Luminous, restless August morning,
Helping a blazing sun rise
On wings of the breeze
Toward skies dotted with drifting clouds;
Listening to a grandmother's
Exemplary fairy tales;
Skipping school
To organize a clamorous battle
In which rocks rattle like bullets
And a rumpled kerchief becomes a flag.
Constructing a manger scene
Of materials gathered from the woods,
Then, after the long, rowdy outing
Arranging the grasses,
Coral twigs, and treasured mosses,
And on strange and alien landscapes,
Perspectives never seen or dreamed,
Creating roads of golden sand
And waterfalls of gleaming tinsel.
Positioning the Wise Men on the hill
And overhead
The star that led them from afar;
In the crib, the laughing Baby Jesus
In his bed of
Softest mosses and leafy ferns.
Pristine soul, blush-pink cheeks,
Skin like ermine on the snow,
Flaxen curls,
Sparkling yet peaceful eyes, how fair
In memory the innocent babe!
Childhood, hallowed valley
Of blessed calm and coolness,
Where rays that will later blast our days
So softly shine,
How saintly your pure innocence,
How fleeting your brief happiness,
How sweet in hours of bitterness
To turn back to the past
And call upon those memories!

Thermaltake Level 10 GTS Snow Edition Review - PAGE 4
Hienrich Jager - Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 Like Share
The Level 10 GTS will be tested by running OCCT 3.0.1's CPU, GPU, and Power Supply tests. High and Low temperatures will be recorded with HWMonitorx64 after a continuous burn-in of 30 minutes. Between each test I will allow the system to equilibrate for an additional 30 minutes.
Temperature data will be recorded at the processor, the video card, the hard drives, and the chipset. Ambient air temperature was recorded with your standard glass-alcohol thermometer. Throughout the testing the ambient room temperatures never varied from between 24°C and 26°C (74°F).
For all of this testing: the CPU cooling fans were set to 100%, the videocard fan was left on auto, and the case-fans were left at their only speed.
Test Setup
- Processor: Intel Core i7 - 930
- Motherboard: Asus P6X58D-E
- Memory: 3x4GB Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 2000MHz 9-11-9-27
- Video Card: XFX ATI Radeon HD R7970 Black Edition
- Optical Drive: 16XDVD-ROM SATA
- CPU Cooler: Noctura NH-U12P SE2
- OS: Windows 7 x64
- Power Supply: Thermaltake 1200W
- Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB ST31000528AS
Test Results:
There are several things worth mentioning with respect to the numbers above. With the advent of a really early spring here in Florida, temperatures have been quite warm and I was required to turn on my AC for the first time in months. The final ambient temperature was as listed above, but the room's airflow is different than that measured in previous reviews. Another thing to note is that I have since upgraded to a 1200W power supply and an XFX 7970 Black Edition video card. Both are configured to vent out of the case, but there might be some extra radiant thermal heat present.
Though not the best on the charts, the Level 10 GTS' performance was acceptable. The CPU and the GPU were cooled in line with other similar cases, but both the chipset and the hard drives saw increased temperatures. Nothing to worry about in my opinion as neither of these components are huge thermal sources
Article Index
That being said, it deserves points in the Substance over Style war, I'd rather have a case that is utilitarian rather than one that restricts airflow and makes doing anything in it a royal PITA.
Does seem somewhat like a small case, not sure if that is due to the camera but it doesn't seem like it would be able to fit any higher spec cards. The styling is a bit different... not bad looking, just different. Cable management looks fairly clean aswell, I've seen neater ones, but definately better than mine.
Headphone hook seems pointless for most users. Other than people who have the PC sat either next to the monitor or on the desktop, probably won't be needed.
I don't tend to like white cases though, personally because things don't look brilliant in them. Hell, even having a normal optical drive looks fairly strange on a soft-touch case.
quote harbin91I use my holder on my Level 10 GT with my case on the floor all the time as does my brother with his Chaser Mk I. At first I thought I would not use it much but the truth is it is always in use, as soon as I take off my headphones they go on the hook.Headphone hook seems pointless for most users. Other than people who have the PC sat either next to the monitor or on the desktop, probably won't be needed.
also, needs more comparisons with HAF.

NY Homeless Man Given Boots By Cop Has 30 Pairs Of Shoes At His Apartment
A simple act of selfless generosity has sparked a bitter backlash after it has been revealed that the homeless man who was bought brand new boots by a NYPD cop last winter has reportedly been scamming well-wishers and abusing the kindness of strangers. Not only does barefoot beggar Jeffrey Hillman have an apartment and a preacher paying his bills, he also has bags of shoes sneakily hidden in a garbage bag, according to the New York Post. The allegedly faux homeless man was spotted Sunday night counting a fat wad of bills while riding the subway from his panhandling spot in Times Square to his home in the Bronx, and the immoral act was caught on tape by a Post reporter. Just days earlier when Hillman was spotted barefoot, begging and wearing a sign that read HOMELESS, he claimed that he chose not to wear shoes despite reportedly owning 30 pairs of perfectly good footwear, the Post reports. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Officer Lawrence DePrimo was working a counterterrorism post last November when he encountered the shivering man and immediately disappeared and returned moments later with a new pair of boots, and even knelt to help him put them on. Unbeknownst to the guardian angel, a tourist from Arizona snapped a photo of his charitable act, which went on to become a viral sensation. It later emerged that Hillman hid the $ 100 pair of Skechers out of fear of being mugged for them.They are worth a lot of money I could lose my life, he claimed. I have the shoes. People always ask me where are the shoes? I tell them theyre in the bag, said Hillman, who reportedly wears shoes to and from home but ditches them when he gets to Midtown to beg for donations. I choose not to wear the shoes. Is that a crime? No! My feet havent fallen off yet. The panhandler said he never asks anyone for cash or gifts and that well wishers simply make donations when they see him walking barefoot in the city, although the alleged scam artist did admit that he has a roof over his head, complete with his own kitchen. I got my own apartment. I cook for myself, he confessed. Im not robbing anybody. Its Wall Street. Its the people in these buildings, Hillman argued. However, the preacher who helps the Army veteran pay his utility bills and gives him phone cards thinks it is wrong to con kind-hearted New Yorkers. Hes done it 10-plus years. He can make 1,000 bucks a day even though hes got 30 pairs of shoes at home, revealed the Reverend John Graf of Bedminster. |

Brookfield Central's strong first quarter leads to victory over Wauwatosa East
Central stays tied for first with Sussex
Brookfield Central jumped off to a fast start Friday and whipped Wauwatosa East's boys basketball team, 58-42, and it was the same old story for both teams.
Central improved to 9-1 and stayed tied for first place in the Greater Metro Conference with Sussex Hamilton, each with 5-0 records, while Tosa East fell to 6-5 overall and to fourth place (3-2) in the GMC.
The Lancers jumped off to a 22-6 first quarter lead and then the teams played to a 36-36 tie the rest of the way.
Whereas Central continues to find ways to win — they drilled four 3-pointers in the first period — the Red Raiders once again couldn't put together four good quarters against a quality opponent.
Again Central junior guard Riley LaChance had nine points with two 3-pointers and Peter Mattiacci threw in two 3-pointers to spark the first quarter run.
"That's been our big thing. If you want to be a champion you have to have the characteristics of a champion," Central coach Mark Adams said. "One of the things is how hard you come out. Our thing is to try and outwork people and we were doing that."
Tosa East had only three players score in the first half — Anthony Carroll had six and Nate Moore and Ben Mihelich had five each. LaChance had 11 and Elijah Goodman had eight points and seven rebounds at intermission for Central.
Carroll got hot with 10 of his 16 points in the third quarter, while LaChance eight and junior Caleb Mortag had three dunks.
Central led 34-16 at halftime and 50-32 after three periods.
"It's a broken record really," a frustrated Tosa East each coach Tim Arndorfer said. "When you look at the box score. Another quality opponent, we're right there, but this time it was the first quarter.
"Other games its been the fourth quarter, we had games where its been the second quarter. There is no rhyme or reason to when it was going to happen."
LaChance led all scorers with 21 and Goodman had 12 and 13 rebounds.

The Real Number System
Each real number is a member of one or more of the following sets.
The sets of numbers described in the following table should look familiar to you. It is sometimes handy to have names for these sets of numbers, so knowing their names can simplify, for example, describing domains of functions or comprehending theorems such as the rational zeros theorem.
Set |
Natural numbers |
Whole numbers |
Integers |
Rational numbers |
Irrational numbers |
Real numbers |
Things to notice:
- The set of Whole numbers is the same as the set of Natural numbers, except that it includes 0. To help remember this, think "o" is in "whole."
- The set of Integers is the same as the set of whole numbers and the negatives of the whole numbers.
- We can think of Rational numbers as fractions. To remind us, notice that the word "ratio" is embedded in the word "rational." A ratio is a fraction.
- The set of Rational numbers includes all decimals that have either a finite number of decimal places or that repeat in the same pattern of digits. For example, 0.333333… = 1/3 and .245245245…. = 245/999.
- The set of Natural numbers is a subset of the set of Whole numbers, which is contained in the set of Integers, which is inside of the set of Rational numbers.
Classify the following numbers. Remember that a number may belong to more than one category.
0, 4, -9, 0.23,
Number Member of these sets
0 Whole, Integer, Rational (can be written as ), Real
4 Natural, Whole, Integer, Rational (can be written as ), Real
-9 Integer, Rational, Real

Used Bramley Computers? Happy with the service? Please leave a comment below…
* Required
Or read my eBay feedback to see what people have to say about me there.
Jon has helped me 3 times now and I could not have asked for more friendly or efficient service, or at more reasonable cost. And the relief at not having to trail out to Meadowhall (however good the Apple folk are individually it's always too hectic there) is extremely welcome! Full marks to Bramley Computers for repairing my iPhone so quickly. Posted to them on Thursday, it arrived back this morning (Saturday) fully repaired. I've used Bramley before for Apple repairs and upgrades to my desk and laptops and can heartily recommend them for all your Mac needs. Seriously, if you've got a Mac problem, you'd be daft to go anywhere else. The RAM was increased and an SSD drive was installed in my Mac Mini. Because I live far away from his area, it meant sending it to him and having it returned by courier. As it is my main business computer, I couldn't afford to be without it for long. Jon went to the trouble of fitting the work in with my business time schedule and providing a very fast turn-around time. The service, including keeping me informed of progress, was excellent and very professional. I'd certainly use Bramley Computers again. Jon was quick to respond to my call for help and came out really quickly.He was on time, friendly,efficient and really helpful ...He set up a new computer transferring loads of material with ease....So,great service! He knew his stuff and was able to relay it clearly .He even came out of his local area ,going the extra mile ..literally and he was not over priced .I would definately use him again and am happy wholeheartedly to recommend him for all things Apple. I have used Jon from Bramley Computers on a number of occasions, sometimes for advice, other times for hardware purchases and sales. Jon, continues to be as professional and helpful as you could wish for, and I recommend him wholeheartedly. He will always deliver within quoted timescales, and the equipment is always as described. he does go the extra mile and the support, especially for pre-owned equipment is second to none. Thank you again. Jon repaired my iMac quickly and cheaply, fitting a new hard-drive and migrating all the information over for me. It's come back working better and faster than ever. Thanks Jon! I've dealt with Jon for a number of problems - as well as a computer purchase - and he has always dealt with me professionally and quickly; that his prices are very reasonable is a bonus! He has always gone the extra mile for me and when you rely on your computer to earn a living, as I do, the quality of his service means the difference between letting my clients down or maintaining business as usual. Thanks to him I have never had to let a client down because my computer has broken (or, as is sometimes the case, I've done something silly to it and it is sulking...) I would never consider going anywhere else for any Mac purchases, repairs, upgrades, or advice. Well, another successful purchase completed. This time a Mac Mini. Delivery was almost instant, and quality as per previous purchases (nothing like a returning customer). This time there were a few issues with setting up, issues that appear to be unique to the Mac Mini, but a phone call and a few e-mails and I was away. As previously said, working with Jon is as easy as it gets, and to keep returning when in need of new kit is about as good a recommendation as you can give. I've used Jon on a number of occasions for various iPhone and Macbook related problems. His turnaround time is fantastic (given my phone and laptop are key to what I do, is just what I need) and he always let's me know exactly what is going on with perfect explanations. One of the best things is that he lays out the options for me to choose the right solution given my budget. I would recommend Jon (and have done to my friends) for any Apple related issues. If you need anything Apple - Jon is your man! He is second to none in terms of knowledge, service, quality, customer service, everything. I really can't recommend him highly enough. He makes sure you get what you need and want (not just what he wants to sell) at a price that is more than fair. And when it comes to logistics of either sending products to him or receiving them, I've never dealt with a better company yet. What can I say - he is one in a million, a top man and you should never fail to get in touch with him if you have a problem or need for anything technological (especially Apple).
Please do, otherwise I will keep on buying all of his stock myself! Help me, I'm addicted to Bramley!

A new market, black as ink, in NYC: printer toner
765 days ago
By TOM HAYS
Associated Press
(AP:NEW YORK) Prosecutors say there's a black market for copier toner that is making New York City businesses vulnerable to employee theft.
So far, there have been arrests in separate inside jobs at a leading cancer treatment hospital and a large law firm in Manhattan.
In the hospital case, a clerk earning a modest salary was convicted of financing a luxury lifestyle by secretly ordering $1.5 million in toner and reselling it. An employee at the law firm has been charged with stealing toner cartridges worth up to $259 a piece and dumping them for as little as $10.
The scope of the black market is unclear. But there have been isolated instances of similar toner diversion schemes in other parts of the country.

Oldham 1-3 Leyton Orient: Match Report
Oldham 1-3 Leyton Orient: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Darius at the double for O's
Darius Henderson scored one goal and made another as Leyton Orient hit back for a 3-1 victory at Oldham.
The former Nottingham Forest striker marked his first start for the O's with an impressive display before substitute Kevin Lisbie rounded off the win with his first touch.
Oldham went in front after 16 minutes as Carl Winchester's neat pass found Jonathan Forte, who strode clear of the Orient defence and slotted in from 14 yards.
But the visitors levelled only four minutes later when Henderson ran on to Dean Cox's throughball and steered home a low finish from just inside the box.
Oldham wasted two chances before half-time, with Mike Jones firing wide at the end of a flowing move and Liam Kelly heading off target.
They were punished by Orient's second goal, in the 58th minute, as Henderson teed up David Mooney to drill in an angled shot from eight yards.
James Wilson headed over for Oldham, but Lisbie killed off the game within seconds of replacing Henderson in the 80th minute.
Lisbie met Cox's corner and completed Orient's fightback by nodding home from close range.

4:1 the priests. Several priests serving their allotted week's temple service (Luke 1:8, 23) were near Solomon's Colonnade and could hear Peter's declarations about Jesus the Messiah. Alarmed at what was considered dangerous teaching against Jewish authority, they probably alerted the captain of the temple guard. This captain was the commander of the temple police force and a member of one of the important priestly families. The priests also alerted the Sadducees, who held prominent positions in the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council.

- Team UAE arriving at the Al Ain International Airport.
The sons of Shaikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance, Shaikh Rashid and Shaikh Saeed, have provided Dh12 million for the team and more donations and rewards are expected, with companies and businessmen coming forward with cash prizes and cars.
Striker Ahmad Khalil has already been given a new Range Rover for scoring the winning goal against Kuwait in the semi-final.
In 2007 when the UAE won the 18th Gulf Cup at home, Al Masaood donated 27 four wheel drive Nissan cars for all the members of the team and Bin Hamoodah donated the same number of cars. Esmail Mattar, then the team's top player was rewarded with cars from Al Tayer Motors, RAK Motors and other national companies.
Meanwhile, the Professional League Committee (PLC) have postponed the fixtures of the 14th week of the Etisalat Pro League, which were scheduled for Monday and Tuesday (January 21 and 22) because of the late return of the members of UAE team who were in Bahrain on national duty.
The Committee said this will give the players a break and the new date for these matches will be decided later.

WE TELL OUR children "the sky is the limit" when they pick a career. Those skies are opening up to women. More than ever, grade schools, high schools, and colleges encourage women to pursue technical careers—the same careers that were off-limits to them less than 50 years ago.
Despite this, gender equality still takes awhile to catch up. The number of women currently in technical careers is less than men. Women enrolled in university engineering programs rarely exceed 30% of the engineering student body. But the numbers are increasing in some technical fields. By 2005, 22% of all architects were women.
The past several decades have been marked by notable changes in the labor force. Women's participation is significantly higher today than it was in the 1970s. Also, the proportion with a college degree roughly tripled from 1970 to 2008. Unfortunately, women are still lagging in construction, representing only 8% of the labor force.
This makes the women working in construction even more special. These influencers are making a difference every day. Breaking down the barriers means these women are dedicated individuals who are leaders not only among women, but for the entire industry.
This year at World of Concrete, the Women in Concrete Breakfast and Forum will present three women who are making a difference.
Susan Lane, program manager of bridges and transportation structures at PCA, is deeply involved with infrastructure and the issues behind the funding for the needed repairs. She previously has worked as an engineer, an adjunct professor, and at the U.S. Department of Transportation. Lane has learned how to push past any barriers and to make a difference. She is now a well-known and trusted resource on this very important issue.
Kathy Reissig is the marketing manager for Stone Construction Equipment Inc., of Honeoye, N.Y., a 100% employee-owned company which designs and manufactures light construction equipment. Stone is a successful company, even in these hard economic times. Reissig exemplifies what strong leadership is in difficult times.
Erin Williams Christie, a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University's Concrete Industry Management program, is the environmental director for Ready Mix USA, Birmingham, Ala. She has already broken the barriers at a young age and now she's poised for leadership. As Christie encourages more women to follow her lead, the concrete industry will see more qualified women entering the field.
Kari Moosmann is a freelance writer based in Woodridge, Ill. Women in Concrete brings you stories about women who are making a difference in the concrete industry. Send your ideas and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Attendees enjoy camaraderie and listen to the informative speakers at the Women in Concrete events at World of Concrete.
The Women in Concrete event moves to the morning this year to accommodate those who are busy on the show floor during the day. Also this year, we will introduce the Women in Concrete Alliance, a new networking resource for women. To register, visit www.worldofconcrete.com.

Ok, so I used the one pound of minute rice when I made the cream of 3 crops 5 gallon batch this last weekend. It got me thinking of how much this adds to the final fermentable bill and how much of it you can mash and convert in other recipes and what it would bring to the party. I know if gummed up my mash a bit at just one pound and I can use rice hulls to free it up a bit if more were used. Anyone have experience using more than a pound of this before? And what other off the grocery store shelf stuff can you use to mash with?
boil the heck out of the rice...i think i boiled two pounds for an hour..I just kept adding water, then added it to the mash with some rice hulls. No issues at all, and the rice completely disappeared after an hour mash. I think I did a cereal mash too. Long time ago, no notes that I can find. Good Luck with it.
Studies show that three out of four people make up 75% of the worlds population.

The members of the Undivided Dakshina Kannada (Udupi) District Anganwadi Workers and Assistants Association staged a dharna at Tiger Circle here on Monday seeking the fulfilment of their demands.
G.R. Shivashankar, President of the Karnataka Anganwadi Workers Federation, said the revised timetable issued by the State government was forcing the anganwadi workers and assistants to put in two-and-a-half hours of extra work. Earlier, the anganwadis used to function from 9.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. But after the revision, they had to function from 9.30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The government should restore old timings.
At present, the anganwadi workers and assistants received honorariums of Rs. 4,500 and Rs. 2,250 a month respectively. The amount should be increased to Rs. 10,000 a month for the workers and Rs. 7,000 a month for assistants. The harassment of anganwadi workers and assistants by government officers and supervisors must stop, he said.

The Honda Ridgeline is a mid-size sport utility truck produced by the Japanese automaker Honda. The Ridgeline was released in March 2005 as a 2006 model and is Honda's first foray into the North American pickup truck market. Until 2009, the Ridgeline was built in Alliston, Ontario, before being moved to Lincoln, Alabama.
Production of the current Ridgeline will end in mid-2014.[1][2][dated info] In December 2013, the automaker announced it will not give up on the pickup with an all-new Ridgeline that is being planned within two years.[2][3]
First generation[edit]
The Ridgeline is notable "as Honda's first foray into the true heartland of the American automotive way of life."[4] The vehicle was designed and engineered in Honda R&D Americas facilities in Raymond, Ohio.[5] A team of 37 engineers was led by a former General Motors designer who previously worked on the Chevrolet S-10 pickup, Gary Flint, developed the Honda vehicle in over four years at under $250 million.[6] The design was first revealed as the Honda SUT concept car in 2004.
The Honda Ridgeline is built on the Honda Odyssey minivan automobile platform.[2] It has a ladder frame/unibody hybrid chassis featuring four-wheel independent suspension, and its rear suspension design provides space for a watertight storage area below the bed that can be locked to secure its contents that include the spare tire. However, when carrying a load in the bed a flat tire repair can be difficult because any cargo being carried must be cleared to access the spare stored its compartment beneath the load bed. The cargo bed has a composite liner to resist dents and corrosion. A dual-action tailgate is standard that opens conventionally in a downward motion to extend the cargo bed, or swung to one side like a door, easing access into the below bed storage compartment.
The 5-foot (152 cm) cargo bed is integrated with the body, a design similar to the Chevrolet Avalanche. Honda lists a 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) maximum towing capacity for the mid-size Ridgeline pickup.
The 1,500 lb (680 kg) load capacity is highly competitive despite its Honda Pilot crossover based frame and it is higher than conventional body on frame competitors like the Toyota Tacoma.[7]
Standard equipment includes anti-lock brakes, heated windshield wiper parking zones, four wheel drive locking mode, and VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) with off switch (for off-road use), and side-curtain airbags. The Ridgeline comes only with bucket front seats, and its fold-up rear seat allows additional cargo space. Four trim levels are available: basic RT, RTX, RTS, and premium RTL (with optional sunroof or moonroof and GPS Navigation).
For 2007 and 2008, an RTX trim version was available. This added gray-painted alloy wheels, an alternate grille, body-colored door handles, and factory tow package. The RTS adds a 6-way power driver's seat, 6-CD changer, subwoofer, body-colored mirrors, silver-painted alloy wheels, and dual zone climate control system. The RTL adds leather trimmed upholstery, and for the 2007 model year, a moonroof and XM radio are standard on the RTL.
The Ridgeline received a facelift for the 2009 model year.
A Sport model was released with the 2012 model year with blacked out bezel surrounding the headlights, 18" machine finished black painted alloy wheels, and a black sport grille.
The 2014 model year Ridgeline may be the last of the generation, but Honda introduced a top level "Special Edition" trim that includes new aluminum alloy wheels and features a navigation system with Zagat restaurant survey information, as well as a hands-free operated XM Satellite Radio.[5]
Honda's 4WD traction system[edit]
The Ridgeline is powered by a transversely mounted J35A9, (2006–2008) J35Z5, (2009–present) 3.5 L V6 engine with a five speed automatic transmission.
The four wheel drive system operates in front-wheel drive mode under normal conditions and automatically transfers power to either rear wheel via an electromagnetically driven clutch-operated differential (VTM-4, Honda partnered with BorgWarner for its development[8]) when it senses a loss of traction in the front. The clutches in the VTM-4 system can be manually engaged in first, second or reverse gears at speeds under 18 mph (29 km/h), providing an equivalent to a traditional locking differential.
The VTM-4 lock (rear diff lock) works in full rear power mode up until 6 mph (9.7 km/h) then it gradually transitions to power to the front and releases the VTM-4 lock at 18 mph (29 km/h); however, the Ridgeline did so poorly on the same off-road loop used for the Midsize Truck Comparison Test that Edmunds "aborted the loop for fear of breaking something.[9]
"To be fair, the Ridgeline wasn't designed for serious off-roading, something Honda openly admits. With that in mind, VTM-4 is perfectly suited to Honda's V6-powered, unibody pickup truck. It eliminates torque steer, helps acceleration, improves stability on wet or snowy roads and gives the Ridgeline more off-road ability than most truck owners will ever need."[9]

Marketing and sales[edit]
The automaker was slow to enter the minivan market as well as the SUV market, so "given that track record it is no surprise that Honda has just now [2005] gotten around to building a pickup truck" that is not designed to compete against the traditional F-150, Silverado, or Ram domestic models, but to "give the 18% of Honda owners who also own pickups a chance to make their garages a Honda-only parking area."[12]
The Ridgeline is more aptly classified as a sport utility truck with the only other rivals being the Chevrolet Avalanche and Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Other rivals may include the double cab versions of compact pickups like the Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier, both of which follow the traditional pickup layout.[13][14]
Honda marketed the Ridgeline as an alternative to traditional full-size pickups such as the Ford F-150, Dodge Ram, Chevrolet Silverado, and Toyota Tundra, all of which had optional V8 engines. In comparison, the Ridgeline's V6 engine powertrain offers insufficient power (Honda has never developed a V8 for passenger vehicles[15]), the lack of ruggedness due to its unibody construction, and its relatively short cargo bed compared to standard pickup trucks, all made it unsuitable for contractors. Unlike the competitor's crew cabs, the Ridgeline also lacks the option of six-passenger seating because a front bench seat is not available.
Honda hoped buyers would find it an attractive alternative to large SUVs, and conventional pickup trucks.[16] The Ridgeline was evaluated as "one of those odd vehicles ... pretending to be something it's not ... [it] can't really tow well, it can't really carry a heavy load well, and it can't be beaten up too hard. In short, the Ridgeline can't really do what most people who like trucks need it to do."[17]
An Autotrader evaluation of the Ridgeline described "trucks such as the Chevy Silverado and even the new 2015 Ford F-150 are just too much truck for most people. Sure, some homeowners and weekend warriors may actually need a 10,000-lb towing capacity, but the Honda Ridgeline is probably just right for most." [18])
Since its debut, "Honda's first pickup for the U.S. market is slow to gain traction" with the Nissan Titan pickup also falling short of sales targets and "even mighty Toyota ... keeps going back to the drawing board after stumbling with undersized and underpowered early truck offerings in this all-American segment," while the domestic automakers are succeeding "by responding swiftly to their customers' changing demands and offering good service and a wide variety of models and engine sizes."[19]
Sales of the Ridgeline were initially slow, partly because it was considered over-priced.[16] Consequently, dealers began to discount the truck, and the average selling price has come down steadily according to J.D. Power.[16] Despite the Ridgeline's slow sales, Honda gave it a slight facelift and added lower-priced Sport model, but the "four-door pickup's sales have been lackluster since its 2006 model year debut."[20]
The automaker took the unusual step of addressing the gossip about the Ridgeline being dropped from the line up "with an official statement confirming the truck is "here to stay."[20]
By 2011, the truck's "sales, which were never great to begin with, lately have been in a free fall" prompting Honda's official media web site to include "an open letter from the company's head to truck product planning, denying rumors that the Ridgeline would be dropped and insisting that a pickup truck will remain part of the company's portfolio."[21]
Parts shortages due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami put production on hold and "this setback likely impacted sales of the already slow-selling pickup," but the company again announced that the Ridgeline "may continue production through 2013."[22]
The automaker's first entry "into Truck Mountain was met with slow sales," but at the end of 2013, Honda announced plans for a second generation in two years' time.[23]
As of 2013 the Honda Ridgeline was available in the United States, Canada, and Mexico in LHD only.

Second generation[edit]
On July 12, 2013, Honda announced that the Ridgeline will end production after the 2014 model year.[3] The automaker planned to continue production until the replacement was introduced; however, "slow sales of the truck have prompted the automaker to pull it sooner than expected."[26] A redesigned model is expected in 2016, and is not known if the replacement will be an SUT or a traditional body-on-frame truck.[2][3]

Real smacks Atletico, eyes cup final
Real Madrid spoiled crosstown rival Atletico Madrid's short honeymoon as Spanish leader by winning a bad-tempered Copa del Rey semifinal first leg 3-0 on Wednesday.
Pepe spent much of the game riling up Atletico striker Diego Costa after putting Madrid ahead in the 17th minute at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium where his shot deflected off defender Emiliano Insua past goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
The hosts dominated the tetchy derby as Courtois made a string of first-half saves before Jese Rodriguez broke through in the 57th as the young striker continued his impressive season by using a quick touch to guide Angel Di Maria's pass under the Belgium `keeper.
Diego Costa's frustrations got the better of him as a yellow card in the 61st means Atletico's leading scorer will miss the return leg next week, which leaves the attack depleted with David Villa also expected to be sidelined by injury.
With Gareth Bale out to injury again and Cristiano Ronaldo strangely subdued, Di Maria capped a productive night with a goal from another deflected shot in the 73rd. It came just after Luka Modric cleared Diego Godin's header off the goal-line for Atletico's lone scoring opportunity.
Madrid has yet to concede in eight domestic cup matches this season.
''We knew that was their game, to play with intensity, so we had to play the same way,'' Di Maria said after Madrid took a page out of Atletico's book and played with his pressure to keep the visitors from getting any time on the ball.
Atletico lost for only the second time all season - and first since October - just three days after taking the Spanish league lead for the first time since 1996.
''We didn't come through and play the kind of game we wanted to. It's unfortunate but there is still the return leg,'' Atletico midfielder Koke said.
Barcelona welcomed Real Sociedad to the Camp Nou later Wednesday in the other first-leg semifinal.
