Getting around, London

Favorite thing:
Touted as bringing London's history into "colorful dramatic life" The Big Bus Tour is one of the best ways to see London if you are short on time.
With three different colored routes, (the green line is a short ride basically linking the red and blue lines) you get an excellent overview of the major sites. The longest of the two, the blue line, takes approxamitely 2 hours to complete the full route where you'll see Kensington Gardens and Kensignton Palace, Regents Park, Oxford and Piccadily Circus, National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey and Parliment Square, London Aquarium, St. Paul's Southwark Cathedral, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London (just to name a few). Hop on and off as many times as you wish at any given stop for a close up-look or to switch to the red or green lines. Your ticket price includes free River Thames Cruise and a walking tour.
Can't recall the price, but take a peek at their website, and go out and conquer London.
Fondest memory: I enjoyed riding on the top of the bus, even though it was a bit frigid, and pointing out the various sites to mom and Kris.
Favorite thing: If you are planning to travel around London, the cheapest way is to buy a daily, weekend, weekly, or even monthly travelcard. It depends on how long you are going to be in London. They are valid on busses, trains, tubes and even the DLR. To buy any travelcard longer than a daily, you'll have to get a picture card. Just take a passport photo and proof of ID to any trainstation and they'll sort it out. A travelcard will save you an incredible amount of money in the long run.
Favorite thing:
The Millenium Bridge as it is properly called, is an impressive piece of modern engineering, although less spectacular than it's namesake - the Millenium Bridge across the Tyne in Newcastle.
Heaps of derision were initially poured on it as when it first opened the number of people traversing it, caused it to ossilate up and down - thus making it unsafe, if rather fun.
With the problems fixed it has created a very useful pedestrian link between Tate Modern and St Paul's Cathedral, opening a new an pleasing vista of Wren's Masterpiece.
Favorite thing:
For the first time visitor, the London Pass might actually be a pretty good deal if you find a 1/2 price offer like I did as it gives free entrance to many of the top sights in London (Tower of London, Hampton Court, St. Paul's, Windsor Castle) and avoids the queues at some places although I never found that to be necessary.
I purchased a 6 day pass at 1/2 price for my recent trip to London (unfortunately the offer has expired but I found it on the www.visitlondon.com website) and used it to visit all kinds of places that I wouldn't have seen had I not purchased it.
But to save money at full price you really have to do the math before you purchase, we would not have saved money on my husband's 3 day pass had it not been 1/2 price. It's not as good of a value as the Museum Pass in Paris nor does cutting the queues really add that much benefit.

Fondest memory: I am usually against organized tours, but I have to admit that Angie and I had a ball on this one. We had limited time in London as it was and wanted to utilize it wisely. Our thought process was that we could use the tour as general transportation and then go back to the places that we wanted to revisit. As it turned out, we just liked being chauferred around. There are two different routes, one with a live guide and one with a recording. We didn't have a preference, although the one with the recording seemed to go places that the other one didn't.
Favorite thing:
"Really nice bloke he was........anyway guv...you remember Fred Housego.?...he was one of us cabbies and he won 'Mastermind' once, you want to know why ? You get in one of our cabs and your cabbie has to have the 'knowledge' don't he ? Know what that means ? You must know every bleeding street within six miles of Charing Cross, every bleedin' square, bleedin' club, bleedin' hospital, bleedin' hotel , bleedin' Theatre, government and public building, bleedin' railway station, bleedin' police station, court, bleedin' diplomatic building, bleedin' important places of worship, cemetery, crematoria, park and open space, sports and leisure centre, place of learning, restaurant and bleedin' historic building.
That's why us cabbies are the most knowledgeable cab drivers in the world.
And another thing... they may be called black cabs, but we can paint them whatever bleedin' colour we like.
No I'm going south of the Bloody river, tonight ; I'm on me way home. Goodnight.
oi....guv...where's my tip ?
Favorite thing:
The plan of the London Underground is a masterpiece of simplicity, that was originally drawn up by a young draughtsman called Harry Beck. It was based on the electrical diagrams he was used to doing all day. Although it was at first treated with scepticism, it caught on in a big way and is now an indispensible part of London Life.
I've included a copy of the original in the picture. It's had to change somewhat over the years, but the basic format is still clear. The design was so brilliant it has been adopted by just about every other mass transit system across the globe.
It's also been turned into works of art over the years, including a very famous poster for the Tate Art gallery which showed tube lines in lines of paint.
Fondest memory: The advertising on the tube often plays with the map, or inserts new and sometimes amusing station names.
One of my favourites is however the one by Paul Hogan, who advertising that famous Australian beverage (the one in the blue tube) is stood in front of a Japanese tourist and an underground map. He is asked "How do you get to Cockfosters?" to which Paul replies "Like this!" as he extravangantly downs some of the amber nectar.
Favorite thing: Generally I'd have to say 'watch out' if you are a pedestrian walking around London - especially if you are not used to places/cities with such congested traffic. In London you can often hear a car horn, this is usually when a pedestrian can't wait for a walk light or is crossing in the middle of the road - in London, on the road, transportation waits for no-one, so just be sure you look both ways and watch your step.
Favorite thing:
Wherever in the world you see a double decker, you immediately think of London. It is almost impossible to imagine London without them! Indeed, these red buses are one of the symbols of London.
Its advantage is very simple, the typical red double-deckers can transport more passengers than single-decker buses.
Another great thing is that they have an open entry/exit door at the rear which makes it possible to jump on or off whenever the bus stops; you do not need any bus-stop.
Once inside, sitting at the front of the top is a perfect place to look the streets passing by.
Despite the effective tube system, the red double decker will remain my favourite for ever.
Fondest memory: The London Double deckers are officially no longer in regular service since 2005, although they still run on two so called "heritage" routes; the route 9 from Royal Albert Hall via Piccadilly Circus to Aldwych and the route 15 from Trafalgar Square via Strand to Tower Hill.
The double deckers in service have been modernized, but the prototype was the classic old model.
Favorite thing:
I know its just a bus, but its what makes London special. The double decker red busses are part of experiencing London and so I highly recommend riding them. The great thing is that if you have an all day travel card from the Underground, it also works for the bus too! Of course if you really want to get somewhere fast, use the underground as traffic in central London is bumper to bumper most of the time. If you have time though, take a ride!
Fondest memory: On the bus, riding around London around Christmas time with all the beautiful decorations was one of my favorite memories. Despite the slow moving traffic, it just gave me more time to appreciate how great London is.
Favorite thing:
Because London is so vast and l only had a week l decided to take the bus tour with the Big Bus Company. Bought my ticket in Victoria for £11 normally £17 but l have a student card. This particular tour takes two routes, the red route which takes about 2 hours and the blue route which takes about 3 and half. This also includes a river cruise which l personally thought a waste of time. You pass by the same sites in the bus. If your going to any of the attractions you can buy your tickets from the bus ticket sellers and you won't have to "q" for entry to most places.
Fondest memory: The tour gives you the option of hoping on and off when you feel like it. The supply plastic rain coats if it starts to rain. They conduct the tour is various languages. The ticket is valid for 24 hours. For more information try the following.
Favorite thing:
If you don't fancy walk around the city or you cant afford to take a cab to go to beautiful places of London or may be you are visiting first time and have very short time to see important places, then take one of the sightseeing buses.
These are not very expensive and have guide who explains the history of each place.
Favorite thing:
The London pass give you entry to a range of places. if you think of London as a kind of giant theme park then £49 for a day is almost reasonable.
A few tricks when you have bought the card
1) Pick a few places that are fairly close together to be able to use the card several times in the day
2) Don't waste time using the card on places that are free or cheap anyway
3) Remember that it often lets you get to the front of the queue
I used one (2002) and basically used it everywhere I could walking from Charing Cross to London Bridge on the South Bank - had a great day.
Highlights on this card include London Zoo, London Aquarium, HMS Belfast, the Globe theatre and the Cutty Sark.
Fondest memory: Always seeing something new - if they put a new kerbstone in where I live it is exciting.
Fondest memory:
I waited for the underground at the station "Bank" right in the city of London after most people had finished work for the day. I was the only tourist, everybody else was wearing suit and looking important. A very interesting experience ... and one of my favourite pictures of all time.
Oh, talking of the stop "Bank" - it's a tourist trap as well somehow. If you plan to use the "Waterloo and City Line" from "Monument" don't bother going underground but walk to "Bank" instead. I didn't know that this was a trick station and ended up walking around hot smelly underground tunnels for 10 minutes following the signs. I ended up at "Bank".
Favorite thing:
I can't state this enough for people, but in the UK, people drive on the left, which absolutely baffles North Americans and Europeans, but then again, this can be applied on the North American/European habit of driving on the right. This can be espeically hard in London, as one is surrounded by so many sights and people; some tourists unconsciously look to the left and just walk across the street, unknowingly stepping into onbound traffic! I heard a story at my hostel that an Estonian kid staying there got hit by a red bus because he didn't look to the right. Ouch
So please everyone, look to the right before crossing the street. Better yet, look both ways and stay on the safe side. Londoners know that a lot of people who visit their town aren't from places that drive on the left, so they've written down where to look on virtually every major pedestrian crossing in the city.

Tongue-tie and frenotomy in infants with breastfeeding difficulties: achieving a balance
This study reviewed data on tongue tie. The authors conclude that good assessment and selection are important, as 50% of breastfeeding babies with ankyloglossia will not encounter any problems.
Impact of early frenotomy in breastfed infants with mild-moderate tongue-tie
This study looked at the impact of early frenotomy for infants with mild-moderate degrees of tongue-tie.
Frenotomy for infants with tongue tie improves breastfeeding ability and maternal nipple pain
The purpose of this study was to determine whether frenotomy for infants with tongue tie improved maternal nipple pain and ability to breastfeed.
Tongue tie & breastfeeding, Hogan 2005
A randomized, controlled trial has shown that dividing tongue-ties is safe and results in greater improvements to feeding success than the intensive skilled support of a lactation consultant.
Tongue tie & breastfeeding, Griffiths 2004
This study assesses outcomes of dividing tongue tie without an anaesthetic in 215 infants of less than 3 months who had major problems breastfeeding, despite professional support.
Tongue tie & breastfeeding, Ballard 2002
A recent study has shown that dividing tongue ties improves attachment and reduces pain for the mother during breastfeeding.

Goat Cheese
Poached Scrambled Eggs with Goat Cheese Sauce
Chef Daniel Patterson conceived of this unconventional method for making eggs: He beats the eggs, cooks them quickly in a vortex of boiling water, then immediately drains them. The result is super-creamy, perfectly scrambled eggs; topped with goat cheese sauce, the dish becomes a kind of reverse omelet. If you're scrambling just one egg, the cooking time will be 20 seconds. For four eggs, the time increases to 40 seconds.

What can I say its good greasy breakfast food. Well not greasy but good breakfast they make there own hash browns which is a plus. Good coneys too
This restaurant is actually located on Fort St. In Lincoln Park, MI. The breakfast was fast and well prepared. I highly recommend it.
Locals like it here and with good reason. Reasonable prices, good variety, tastey food, and what you come to expect from a coney island. Will return again when I'm in the area.
Great food here, personal fav chicken bacon pita. Waitstaff is friendly,service is usually fast and food is good. What more can you ask for from a coney island.They have 2 or 3 locations this one is the best...again personal opinion.
Really great coney restaurant. Breakfast special only $ 3.10 come with 2 eggs, 3 sausage patties, toast and your choice of hash browns or pancakes. I feed the family with drink for $ 12 Wow and is very good. The service is great and place very clean. Our favorite is also the loose burgers and a thing called the chili...
Then you won't be disappointed. Crowded, noisy, fun. It's hard to know which Coney Island does it right, they do at Dix CI.
love it!!

My test page has some div's and some images: http://www.macverk.no/test-pixel-iphone.html
I expected that an image 320px wide would cover half of the with when the screenshot I get if 640px wide - but it turns out to be 209px wide!
If it was 160px wide I could better understand it, due to some retina issue... but 209?
A friend told me something about including a viewport setting, but then my iPhone acts like it's a 320x480px screen...

Tennessee Lawmakers Considering Special Education Voucher Law

The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools' policy expert Todd Ziebarth weighs in on what's brewing in state legislatures.
Idaho lawmakers allocated new money for school broadband access, ensuring districts have continued Internet access following a court ruling last year which voided the statewide broadband contract.
We can't afford to get stuck having the same argument over and over again instead of finding new solutions for our kids.
There are questions about the value of national standards, the appropriate nature of some of the standards in the earlier grades, and angst about the use of standardized testing to change teaching and learning and evaluate students and teachers.
A bill that would allow teachers to be prosecuted for providing "harmful materials" to minors has been passed by the Kansas Senate.

Low-performing school districts in Kentucky will be the target of a charter school pilot program under proposed legislation being penned by state lawmakers this year.

Take a creative break from today's active discussions about the benefits of urban density with a sonata that examines compact development examples from across the world.
Are clothes associated with a particular race? This controversial question may fuel a debate. Certain aspects of fashion tend to connect to particular ethnic groups in the United States.
Nothing is better for advocates of urbanism than simple immersion in the look and feel of a successful, authentic place. After a week of observation ...
Those of us who write about cities should be students of history and experience, and with some humility listen to scholars and the legacy of urban development from from around the world.
Vital storefronts are an indicator of urban success, while empty businesses are akin to the ruins of Pompeii.
I don't suggest that there was a purposeful rationale, or even multiple rationales, to destroy the cities. The causes are more likely to have been social, cultural, economic and demographic.
Amid the roads, sidewalks and places that you have visited before, there are often embedded patterns to uncover, read and reinterpret.
Will the prime square footage occupied by Borders have similar 'third place' potential once reclaimed? Will replacement uses provide the equivalent fusion business purposes of books, coffee, lecture and song?
When a small branch of a local ice cream business opened within the laundromat up the street, it was evidence that today's land use regulations are becoming more in sync with changing urban reality.
If our cities must be dense to be competitive and sustainable, we must also look with care to the potential displacement of uses, institutions or traditions -- not to mention the artifacts we will leave behind.
The archaeology of today's urban regions need not be excavation-based. One trick allows the illusion of memory through photographic tools.
Researchers identified May 23, 2007, as the first time in history that city dwellers outnumbered the world's rural population. Because cities are growing, companies locate in urban areas as an efficient way to reach talent and customers.
More so than public squares -- which require a conscious set-aside of assembled space -- corners naturally result from crossroads, the elemental feature of travel between places.
If Jane Jacobs showed the way with The Death and Life of Great American Cities, why did so few follow it? Why have the 50 years since publication of the book been so disastrous for American cities?
Cities are hubs of human interaction, and the urban experience can be enhanced by authentic participation in the dynamics of a place and transitions to nearby venues.
What if American cities legislated brighter color amid windows, balconies planted green and encouraged flags and hanging laundry? What if homeowner associations and rental contracts required vegetation and decoration?
Once a big idea is vetted -- whether in an authoritarian or democratic way -- what assures its success? Most particularly, what if, from Day One, the vision pushes comfort zones of the achievable; politically, legally or monetarily?
It has always seemed odd that while Los Angeles gets no respect from urbanists for its form and "livability," it is nonetheless one of the most important cities in the world.
Could sustainability principles pave the path to peace?
President Obama's strategic statements about the Middle East last Thursday (and as clarified ...
Portland has captured the imagination of a new generation of city-oriented populists.
How can we marshal the potential of urban color while retaining a legally appropriate balance between public regulation of the private realm?
What the New Urbanists take from Jane Jacobs is what nearly every other planner or urbanist working today takes from Jacobs regardless in what context they work: a set of pro-urban values. Love of the city.
Here, from afar, is more evidence that street and square, beach and byway all have a greater and unrealized multipurpose capacity, ripe for recalibration in ever-evolving America.

Perhaps the most celebrated ballet of the Romantic era, Adolphe Adam's intoxicating ballet Giselle is the dramatic story of a peasant girl whose betrayal by her aristocratic lover causes her to go mad before dying and returning as a ghost. Featuring the fabulous Alina Cojocaru in the title role and Johan Kobborg as a torn Count Albrecht, Peter Wright's sparkling production and John Macfarlane's pastoral designs create an opulent feast for the eyes, here captured in High Definition video and true surround sound.
LENGTH: 112 Mins
"The Royal Ballet's recent triumphs continue with this exquisite Giselle. Beguiling actress-dancer Alina Cojocaru embraces both Act I's sweet rural girl and the tragic ghost of Act II." BBC Music Magazine, December 2008 ****
"[Cojocaru and Kobborg] are a touching pair and the remaining roles [are] no less brilliant and as strongly characterized. The Royal Corps de Ballet is superb. A compelling performance, with fine supportive playing from the Covent Garden orchestra under Boris Gruzin and expert video direction throughout." Penguin Guide, 2011 edition

If there is one country in the world where classical ballet is still an art form for the people and by the people, it is Cuba A veritable artistic miracle, the Cuban National Ballet was born of the unshakeable will of a heroic woman.Alicia Alonso, founded this improbable ballet company in 1948, with the support of Fidel Castro, and 60 years later, the octogenarian former prima ballerina, whose sight started to fail aged 20, is still the director.
A star of the American Ballet Theatre, New York, in the '40s, first Westerner to dance at the Kirov and Bolshoi, she has produced such stars as Covent Garden's Carlos Acosta and created a culture where the ambition to star in such a very European choreographic tradition is akin to that of being a footballer in Brazil. Alicia Alonso is a tenacious warrior who has shared her passion with all the Cuban people, taking it to schools all over the country.

In Dance Magazine, critic Clive Barnes eulogized the artistry documented here: "Everything the Russian critics have written about her is true. The impeccable technique, the expressive body, the intellect, the informed face; yet Ulanova has something criticism could never define, something you might look for in Shakespeare's sonnets."

This is the story of how the most famous dancer that England has ever produced was deceived and betrayed by those closest to her; of how a little girl called Peggy Hookham, brought up in Shanghai, told her mother she would one day become the greatest dancer in the world; and of how, in spite of being almost unable to walk, she was still performing when she was 67.
It is a story of courage and tenacity, of unbelievable devotion – to her art and to those whom she loved who, in the end, left her penniless and alone, even to the extent that she was buried at first in a pauper's grave. It is the stuff of fiction – except that it is true.

Tchaikovsky's The Sleeping Beauty is one of the best loved of classical ballets, combining in a single work all the enchantment and virtuosity that ballet has to offer. The royal court, the panoramic journey of the Prince to the overgrown castle, and the great celebratory dances of the happy ending (in which other famous fairytale figures appear) are all brought to life by the luscious designs of this celebrated production, created in 1946 for the The Royal Ballet. The inspired performances of its revival for the 75th anniversary of the Company in 2006, together with a magnificent High Definition recording, make this a superb tribute to The Royal Ballet's unique style and visual splendour.
LENGTH: 174 Mins
"In 2006, the company revived its classic Sleeping Beauty, featuring pretty Oliver Messel designs and a spruce choreography combining the romantic Petipa original with Ashton's hallmark narrative. Nuñez is charm personified as the Lilac Fairy, and has there ever been a more enchanting Aurora than Cojocaru?" BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 ****
"Alina Cojocaru's Aurora was the ballet's radiant centrepiece, charming, in control and filled with a palpable delight in every pretty step." The Times
Opus Arte - OA0995D
Bolshoi Ballet
The amazing Bolshoi interpretation of Theophile Gautier's piece created in 1841 at the Opéra de
Paris : Giselle. One of the great moments of Dance history that saw the main themes of Romanticism expressed.
A love pastoral care that ends tragically, a fantastic world of unearthly creatures and redemption
thanks to the power of love. Giselle is the dream of a poet who gets deliberately lost in a dream world… A young countryside
girl seduced by a Lord, reaches the height of tragedy before falling into a supernatural epilogue. This ballet is a masterpiece of romantic ballets in which movement traduces the soul's language. In order to write Giselle, Théophile Gautier required the help of Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges. The choregraphy was insured by Jean Coralli : first ballet director of the Opéra de Paris.
Jules Perrot who was in love with the main interpret contributed to the project more than he was expected to. This reunion of talents made this romantic ballet masterpiece exist. Movement
became the soul's language. The popular Bolshoi Ballet series continues, bringing ballet lovers some of the finest performances by
the worlds most acknowledged dance company.

Buying fruit trees getting to be more expensive than I expect
Hello There,
I am not sure if I am alone on this matter. I am used to buying bare root apple, pear, plum, cherry, peach trees from a number of reputable nurseries at an average price of about $20-35 per tree including packaging and shipping fees. The cheapest ones ($20 each) were from Schlabach. The most expensive one was a $50 PF 24 C peach from Cummins!!. I know it cost me more because I only ordered only 1 or 2 trees at a time but I can live with that price range.
Now I am interested in ordering persimmon trees. A few places (England Orchard, Just Fruits and Exotics, Edible Landscaping) carry the varieties I want in pots!!! I may end up paying between $50-70 per tree as a result.
It's far more expensvie than I expect. By the time I get to eat my own persimmon, that thing could cost more than the famous $64 tomato!!!
Learn to graft! In the spring, plant seeds where you want trees. You can graft them after one or two years. Plant 3 or 4 per spot, a foot or so apart, so you don't have to count on one graft taking. No transplant shock, no potbound roots to deal with. Seeds are cheap, so is scionwood, especially if you get them by trade. Cliff England sells scion wood as well.
I understand of what you are saying I feel the same. The way I solved that I buy one trees then copy cat the tree into several ones by air layering branches. I just bought one fig tree called conadris which I don't have this variety I paid etiblelandscaping $60 plus shipping. I air-layered Apricot, peach. I Have 4 trees each and I started with just one. I am planning to air layer apple and fig trees. I use water bottles and sphagnum moss but don't forget the root hormone jelly works the best. Good Luck
Persimmons have a single very deep tap root so they need a large container relative to the size of the tree and they are difficult to graft. Most would die if shipped bareroot.
Growing from seed is impractical because you won't know the sex until they are ready to fruit (male = no fruit ever). Also, from seed requires 2 plants so the resulting tree is a game of luck.
Diffucultly of propagation + shipping cost for large container + niche market = high price.
Yes, learning how to graft is on the top of to do list.
I am only interested in non-astringent D. Kaki. I have not come across the ones that have seeds. I eat store-bought persimmons. They are pretty much seedless.
A few more questions: if I plant persimmon seeds to start trees that I can graft on to, those seeds need to be from a rather cold hardy varieties, right? Say if I have an astringent variety for a tree, can I graft non-astringent scions to them? Are they compatible?
If these questions may sound dumb, now you know that I don't know much about persimmon!!
You can Graft Kaki onto native, kaki or lotus seedlings. There are some Kaki cultivars that have some incompatibility with I think Lotus, but I can't recall them right now. The american seeds are easy to come by, or you could order some seedlings from your Forestry Service as many of them offer native in the seedling sales very inexpensively. And astringency does not matter in regards to what you can graft too. American is generally considered the most cold hardy as well.
Thank you very much for your reply. It's very helpful esp. letting me know how to find seeds and seedlings.
I have not seen any persimmon trees (native or not) around here or known anyone locally who grows persimmon of any kind.
Thank you everybody for your responses.
My experience has been that Kaki persimmons grow slowly in a pot which is why I always thought they cost more to buy - they take twice as long to get to the same size as the potted apple trees. If a garden center has fruit trees all lined up and one group is half the size of the others no one will buy them, regardless of what they are.
Get some seeds and knock yourself out!
Even calleriana and betulaefolia!
I had the worst experience buying persimmon trees from England Orchard. The trees are small, just one year growth and the ones I received were all dead. I paid over a $100 for 2 trees and had to buy the same trees from Stark Bro's. A lot bigger trees, cheaper and alive!

I recieved info on re-doing cabinets today. Now, I need to know if vinyl floor tiles will
hold up as well as regular vinyl flooring. The man that has for years layed all the carpet and vinyl for my family tells me that I will be sorry if I use the adhesive blocks.
He says that after moppings and spills, they will start to come loose. Is that true? If so, what can be done? Again, I am on a very tight budget after buying the house and need to save every penny. I can get a better price for the tiles and lay them myself. But, I don't want to if I will have to re-do it a couple years from now.

- Do vinyl floor tiles hold up as well as one piece vinyl flooring?
Yes, your installer is correct in that the peel and stick vinyl tiles do not last as long as sheet vinyl.
However the other option is VCT tiles. They are inexpensive, and you can find them anywhere. ( you will notice them in some of the bigger department stores like *******, *******, etc.
Good Luck

most companys like h/d will not install peel n stick ,because they cannot quarantee the installation ,such as seperation , tiles getting loose . this is a do -it-yourselfer i/s , the easiest to do . most of the seperation comes from expanion - contraction , the oven ,the weather, the adhesive reactivates and expands when hot and humid, when cold it contracts leaving the adhesive in the joints , when moped the dirt gets traped . have mine for years they still look bad... lol .. get sheet vinyl or laminate a bit highter priced but worth it . also can be installed by yourself ,

2008 Honda Civic DX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Borrowing Bill Belichick's favorite phrase 'it is what it is'. And what it is is an superb getting around town, going to work, day trip kink of car. And given the tremendous gas mileage, I wouldn't even mind taking it cross country. I average 40 mpg on the highway with my standard transmission! Comfortwise, it is a lot bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside. Very comfortable front seats, good leg room in the back for a smaller car. If performance is paramount for you the Mazda 3 may be a better choice, otherwise this is the car you want.

2008 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
When driving with the rear windows down the wind vibration noise is so loud it hurts your ears, about once a week my send has lowered itself into the lowest position (the lever is in a bad place and you bump it getting into the car). The roof padding is so thin when it rains you have to turn your sound system WAY up to hear it. The rear window collects water in the center when it rains and making seeing out of your rear view mirror nearly impossible!

2008 Honda Civic Hybrid 4dr Sedan (1.3L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I purchased this car specifically for my 80 mile a day commute. It has yet to let me down. I average about 41 mpg year round with the mileage increasing in the summer and decreasing in the cold Minnesota winters. As for performance, I knew this wasn�t a speed racer and didn�t expect it to be. It speeds up well for a very small 4 cylinder and keeps me going just fine. The interior has a great design for the speedometer, easily readable in all lighting conditions. The arm rest slides forward for short people like me. The car is small, but I manage to get a car seat and a 100 lb dog to fit comfortably. With the reliability of Honda, overall I love this car.

2008 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
Bought this 2008 Honda EX for my daughter used and I have to say that I am very happy with it. It rides nice, great fuel economy and is really fun to drive. It has fantastic pick-up for a 4 cyl. vehicle. The only 2 complaints I have are that the seats could be a bit more comfortable and the factory radio sounds very "tinny" and we will replace that. I'm hoping she gets many good and reliable years of driving out of it!

2008 Honda Civic EX-L 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
Bought 2008 Civic new. Rear tires have a camber alignment issue. Dealers have said designed that was. Burns up tires unless you rotate at every service. Just filed safety complaint with ntsb. Bought car for daughter, who knows nothing about tires. Unsafe. I don't need tires blowing out. Honda USA ignored my request, but I did find a dealer who will fix it for a price $$. Wow. Purchased Honda care warranty. They don't want to touch this issue either. Beware beware if you are going to buy, check out the rear wheels !

I purchased my Civic new in the summer of 2008 and within three weeks it was leaking power steering fluid. IIRC, the dealership had to replace the power steering rack. A major repair before 1K is not a good omen. Within a few months, the car developed a starting problem. I've been to the dealer 4 times for that particular concern. They replaced the starter motor and the other three times they found nothing wrong. It still will not start sometimes. When idling, the AC starts to blow lukewarm air, even when it's on the coldest setting. Again, dealership couldn't find a problem. The suspension is noisy and the interior plastic scratches very, very easily. I won't buy a Honda again.

2008 Honda Civic LX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Bought it new and didn't realize it already had paint chips on the rear bumper but the dealership fixed that. I would not buy the two door again; we have no kids but even getting the dogs in and out and groceries, it's just not convenient. Overall I would buy another one but the 4 door. I did have the manual so it got better mpg avg'd about 35 mostly highway. City driving dropped significantly to 26. VERY SAFE. I was t-boned by a Jeep grand Cherokee who was going 50 mph and came out with just whiplash and and a stitched toe from the clutch. I would definitely recommend to anyone in search of reliability, safety, and gas mileage. Not too fun to drive but practical.

2008 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
I have had my honda for 2 years. I enjoy my Honda, love the gas mileage. I have had problems with my car not starting on the first try more than once. Also have had problems with my clutch making popping sounds while driving. Had it fixed and not a week and a half later it started popping again. The paneling in the back window rattles when listening to music. Very cheap plastic. The factory tires that came on the car were bridge-stone, they were horrible. They became lumpy and made the car vibrate going down the road. Other than that i love my car its fun to drive.

I absolutely love my 2008 Honda Civic EX-L. I have had several cars - VW, Acura, Pontiac - and the Civic is the best car I have owned. It's fun to drive, it's plenty peppy and it's comfortable. The price is great for the quality of the vehicle.

If the Patriots (and their fans) had any swagger left after the Monday night miracle vs. the Bills, it was blitzed into the ground by the Jets on Sunday.
This is not going to be a "Get ready for 8-8 and it's all because Belichick is an unfeeling jerk" column. If that's what you need after the loss, I promise you there will be no shortage of journalistic victory laps from professional BB haters. You know exactly where to go to read them, I suspect. I think this coach and team have earned at least a month to get things in order before the 2009 obituary is written.
But let's be fair: Sure, it's only been two weeks, but this is a football team that appears to be absolutely lost on the offensive side. The days of a weekly 56-10 beating of a helpless opponent seem like, well, about 2007 years ago (trust me, by Wednesday you'll be longing for the days when the only topic on WEEI was if the Patriots were right in running up the score). Were it not for Leodis McKelvin, you'd almost certainly be looking at an 0-2 record (with both losses in the division). And while you don't really believe that this team is on a collision course with 8-8, the idea of 12-4 seems a more than a little optimistic.
Who knows? Maybe the Patriots will figure it all out this week and blast the Falcons on Sunday and grab a little bit of that swagger back. But, to be fair, the possibility of a 28-10 loss also looms as a possibility. Such is life when you are in the middle of the pack. And that is where your football team currently resides.
A few questions to ponder while wondering if this loss spoiled the Emmy Awards for Belichick (and we know how much he loves "Flight of the Conchords") …
He should. Now I finally see how the gunslinger from Walla Walla might have been Brady's mentor after all. Tipped passes, lousy touch and shaky footwork when under pressure would have been enough to give him lead singer status in a Bledsoe tribute band. But the three delay of game penalties — including one out of a timeout — sealed it as a "Drew in 1999" kind of effort. So far, I think it's safe to say that Brady has been tentative in his return. The two TD passes vs. the Bills were vintage, but as a whole something just seems to be off. A little rust or a legitimate concern? Time will tell.
I wonder. Seems to me that 45 passes a game is almost required at this point, regardless of score or success. Would it have killed the Patriots to use Fred Taylor (eight carries, 46 yards) a little more?
Belichick clearly has zero confidence in the running game right now, and I can understand why. Maroney is hopeless (it's simply not going to happen, he's now a first-round pick that is best served as an average kick returner) and they never convert when they run on third-and-short. But giving up on the run already really does increase the chances of a Brady injury. We've now seen the blueprint, and every defensive coordinator worth a nickel is going to blitz until the Pats figure it out.
(And why isn't Kevin Faulk catching six or seven passes against a never-ending blitz? It seemed like a perfect spot for him, and he only touched the ball four times — three rushes. Strange.)
I guess you could talk me into giving the defense 10-15 percent of the blame, but that's about it. The Jets scored one TD in the game and finished with 254 net yards of total offense. Not exactly the 2007 Patriots. Do the Pats pressure the QB enough? Not even close. Is there a "playmaker" on that defense, a real game-changer? I don't see one. But in the first two weeks the Pats have been solid, a top 10-15 defense. And I think every fan (and probably Belichick) would have signed on for that.
No, the problem has been the offense, no question about it. Maybe comparisons to the 2007 Patriots are unfair, but I heard plenty of them before the season started. Raise your hand if you think that team would have scored just nine points in the first half with the kind of field position the 2009 Patriots had yesterday: started one drive at the NYJ 49 (punt), another at the NYJ 17 (FG) and one at the NE 40 (FG).
(And a memo to the folks at CBS: Next time you run a graphic titled "Key Offseason Losses for Patriots Defense" make sure the name "Ellis Hobbs" isn't on there. I guess there wasn't room for Mike Richardson.)
OK, so he's always going to sound like he's trying to talk and eat a 96-ounce steak at the same time, but I'm giving Dan a 'B+' for Sunday's effort. He noticed Moss slowed down on the route that led to the INT before the replay was shown, and I thought he was correct in his first-half criticism of the Jets offense (too conservative) and the second-half criticism of the Pats offense (not enough of the run game). And Greg Gumbel was fine calling play-by-play, I thought.
A few other media-related thoughts from Sunday on CBS (and FOX) …
Why not? The Jets have won two of the last three, right? And Mark Sanchez has never lost to Tom Brady (just like Steve Spurrier will always hold a 1-0 edge over Belichick).
The Jets are always fun to have around, and it seems like a good time to renew this thing. Nobody's buying the Dolphins, and the Bills are the Bills, so the Jets are what we've got in terms of an AFC East rival. And if you're a Jets fan I think you should be hugely optimistic. Rex Ryan may look like every assistant general manager in Papa Gino's history but the guy clearly can put together a defensive scheme. And Mark Sanchez looks to be as advertised — NFL-ready with every throw in the book. Now I know why Pete Carroll looked so peeved at Sanchez' press conference to declare. So, yes, I think a rivalry is in the beginning stages. Need a few classics and some genuine (not manufactured, like the Jets were selling last week) dislike before we can elevate it.
Greg and Chris talk with Mike Reiss from ESPN Boston in hour 2 of NFL Sunday to discuss a variety of offseason happenings with the Pats and throughout the league. Greg and Chris also get into the NFL Draft and where Mariota and Winston will go.
Mike Reiss calls the guys to talk about the offseason news for the Pats. He talks about the Pats/Jets tampoering fiasco, free agency, where he sees Ridley and Connolly ending up, if the Patriots would be interested in Reggie Wayne and more.
In the first hour of the show, Greg and Chris discuss the news coming out of the owners' meetings this week and rule changes. Belichick's blow-up over the league not wanting to spend on endzone cameras was well documented and the guys react. They also talk about the Jets ridiculous tampering charges, free agents still lingering out there, where Stevan Ridley will land and the RB position in New England. Dickerson and Price briefly discuss the adventures of Tom Brady before being joined by WEEI.com's Mike Petraglia to talk all things Pats in the offseason.
Brow Buff's Sam Packard and Ben Kichen break down Marcus Smart's unfortunate ball tap, debate leadership in the Celtics locker room, and rehash the great Kevin Love to Boston rumors.
Flannery joins Mut to break down the Isaiah Thomas trade to Boston and what it means for the Celtics this season and in the future. Paul also chats with Mut about the other deals that happened at the NBA's trading deadline
We talk to Chris Mannix from SI to break down the C's acquisition of Isaiah Thomas and the crazy trade deadline in the rest of the NBA.
Joe and Alex talked with the Sox AGM about the state of the team as Opening Day approaches.
Mut, Tomase, and Bradford kick things off talking about Shane Victorino taking offense to people reading into some comments he made about trading for Cole Hamels. They also discuss Blake Swihart and how soon he could be up if Christian Vazquez starts the season on the DL.
Joe Kelly joined the Hot Stove show where he talked about being ready for his next spring training start after a biceps ailment forced him out of his last outing, he talks about his NCAA brackets and how teammate Wade Miley has a perfect bracket still.
Peter Chiarelli joined the Sunday Skate crew to talk about the Bruins playoff push heading into the final handful of games of the regular season. Chiarelli talked about avoiding some of the overly negative feedback he gets while realizing that the team does have real issues. He discusses what went down at the trade deadline and if he was happy with the outcome, Lucic having a down year and underperforming, the salary cap and if he considers it as big of an issue as it's been made out to be and what the future holds for the team.
It's a big hour #2 for the Sunday Skate dudes - they talk about the B's defenseman and what the future looks like at that position, with both moves the team can make and younger guys in the AHL. They also get into the Bruins philosophy on bringing guys up and sending them back down and how players deal with that. Finally, the boys are joined by Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli to discuss EVERYTHING.
The Sunday Skate crew gets the show going discussing the Bruins big, impressive victory over the NY Rangers yesterday. What can you take from that game? According to LB - Lyndon Byers - who called the guys from the road, not a lot. LB drops a dime on what was going on with the Rangers yesterday. DJ and Joe discuss Claude's lines and groupings and the importance of Ryan Spooner. They also get into Lucic, his contributions this year and if he can turn things around.

The guys discussed the controversial Indiana law.

Dale, Michael and Jerry Thornton discuss Robert Kraft's testimony and the Hernandez trial overall as it continues to unfold.

She knows her God and understands His purpose for her life. If she is in the discovery stage she hungers and thirsts for His righteousness and plans for her life.
A Spiritual woman is strong, dignified, multi-talented, caring woman who is an individual in her own right. With all her responsibilities, first and foremost, she looks to God. Her primary concern is God's will in her life. She is a woman after God's own heart. Tonight we will examine the characteristics of a spiritual woman.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN: Arizona Cardinals loaded with under-25 talent
It's hard not to be optimistic about the Arizona Cardinals' roster, no matter how you slice it.
There is plenty of older veteran talent -- players like wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (30 years of age), pass rusher John Abraham (36), defensive tackle Darnell Dockett (33) and quarterback Carson Palmer (34).
Several other key players are in their prime. Twenty-seven-year old tackle Jared Veldheer and defensive end Calais Campbell, who is also 27, fit the bill.
But most importantly, the Cardinals are loaded with young talent. Don't believe us? Just ask Scott Kacsmar of Football Outsiders, who published an ESPN Insider piece ranking all 32 NFL teams in terms of under-25 talent.
Arizona comes in sixth on the list.
Patrick Peterson is the most-decorated player in this study. He has made the Pro Bowl in all three of his seasons and has been a first-team All-Pro twice: once for special teams (2011) and last year as a cornerback. Still just 24, Peterson is one of the few cornerbacks in the league routinely handling the assignment of shadowing a team's best receiver. Arizona could boast the best young secondary in the NFL, with Tyrann Mathieu showing good play-making skills before he tore his ACL last season. First-round rookie Deone Bucannon could start in Week 1, bringing his hard-hitting style to the safety position.
There's more to Arizona than just a budding secondary. Michael Floyd surpassed Larry Fitzgerald to lead the team in receiving yards (1,041) last year. Rookie Troy Niklas could be the all-around threat the Cardinals have severely lacked at that position.
Kacsmar also points out receiver Michael Floyd, who is primed to become the Cardinals' number-one receiver at the age of 24, guard Jonathan Cooper (24), who is returning after a broken leg robbed him of his rookie season and middle linebacker Kevin Minter (23), who will be counted on heavily in the absence of 2013 studs Karlos Dansby and Daryl Washington.
The bad news for the Cardinals is that one of their NFC West foes, the St. Louis Rams, rank first on the list. The San Francisco 49ers are 14th and the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are 32nd in the pecking order.
