2005 Honda Civic Hybrid Q&A
2005 Honda Civic Hybrid Question: catalytic converter, oxygen sensos, and transmission issues
Here we go again. I bought my honda civic hybrid new in fall of 2005. It now has about 123,500 miles on it and up until about 8 months ago (when I had about 109,000 miles on it)the only problem I had is a shudder on acceleration. So 8 months ago, my check engine light goes on and my mechanic says I need a new oxygen sensor, so I replaced it. Then, 3 months later, my check engine light goes on again. I take it to Honda and they say that I need a new oxygen sensor AND a new transmission. I brought the car back to my mechanic, who replaced the oxygen sensors for free. I also started contacting HOnda at this time because I don't think my trans should be going at such low mileage. Basically, honda only offers to give me $500 towards a new trans, which they priced at about $4000. I didnt have that kind of money to replace the trans so they said that it would be fine for me to continue to drive it until the trans completely goes. So thats wjhat I have been doing. Now, my check engine light has gone on again and this time they are saying its my catalytic converter which I am told will cost me $1200. Add that to the $4000 price tag of a new trans and I dont know if its worth it, at this point, to put all that money into a car with so many miles. Does anyone have any experience with this? If I spand $5200 to fix my car is somethinge else (engine, battery...) just going to go? Do I trade it in at this point and get somethinge else? Please help, I need advice - hybrid issues
2 Answers
Answer 1
did you service your trans regularly?? as far as the trans, you can get it overhauled for about half price of a new one at an independent shop. shop around. the cat is high even for a factory cat. get a bid from a shop other than a dealer. i believe you can do this for a little bit better than half the estimate and move on. are you ready to spend big bucks to replace it??

Answer 2
Hang on here -- did the repair shop perform the start clutch burnish procedure? This is a common issue for "judder" on pulling out. The burnish procedure and fluid change usually helps. If not, the start clutch could need replaced. This is a common problem Honda is aware of. Your mlieage, though, puts you in a challenging position as far as Honda stepping up to assist. - DaveJHM

Supposedly last night in Eugene they stopped Opiate unexpectedly and jammed out a brand new song per this guy on the fourtheye message board.
OPIATE (Part 1). I have never heard Opiate live before so this was a treat for me. They stopped playing it about halfway through to do what some others called an "extended" version. I had a front row seat for this and I can tell you with 100% certainty that this was NOT simply an "extended version". That was something totally new.
"NEW SONG" – So they abruptly stop Opiate and begin playing this new material. Overall it was about 5 to 7 minutes long and I will do my best to describe the sounds and also why I am convinced this was part of a future new song.
Before they started the new material, Justin looked at Adam/Danny with the biggest smile on his face and starting "dancing" for lack of a better term. He was swinging his right arm over his shoulder repeatedly again and again, and then started moving his hips and outright dancing while doing the arm movements.
The new material sounded fucking incredible – this is exactly what you would expect from a new TOOL song. The most notable part for me was the drumming – it was fast (but not heavy – think Right in Two first half) with a lot of mandala/electronic drum usage. All 3 of them were standing right in front of each other so they could communicate. Maynard had no part in this whatsoever – however he did not leave the stage and just stood there and watched the entire sequence with the rest of the audience.
I have seen this band many times and they have played many different segues/intros/ambient sounds in between songs – take my word for it when I tell you that whatever they played last night in between Opiate will be part of one new TOOL song. It's also just the body language and communication I noticed from the front row seat that made this piece something more than an "improve or extension".
"This guy" is also the mod on toolshed. He was lucky enough to attend every show of the '09 tour where the played the same set each night. That said, he's a good dude, and I definitely don't think he's bullshitting.
Ah cool, I knew he was pretty knowledgable. I love reading his reviews of their shows.
That sounded pretty meh
Meh? Sounded pretty amazing to me. Been dying to hear them drop some opiate songs for years now. So happy to see they finally did. Really hope I get to hear that in SD.
Let's go on a livin' spree!
I meant the supposed new part. Opiate sounded fine
Apparently that's a reworked version of Opiate, and not new material. Adam mentioned at one of the VIP sessions that they hope to release it "somehow."
That's right, no new material, but new old material. lol

Praying for Ticks & Leeches on wednesday too. Held out in 2012 waiting for an LA date....and of course they never added one and missed them playing it in Vegas and Reno. I was destroyed for weeks. I'll never forgive myself more missing those shows. Hence why i'll be there wednesday. Bit the bullet and got VIP. Also hoping to get Hooker with a Penis instead of Third Eye. Pleeeease god make it happen.

I can't believe people prefer Hooker With a Penis to Third Eye.
Reno tonight was fantastic. We got Third Eye as the opener which was nuts as always. Been avoiding looking at setlists but Hooker and Opiate would both be awesome.
Best tool show I've ever seen. ( Reno )
Last edited by theresalwaysone; 03-10-2014 at 03:30 AM.
It's not that I prefer it...it's just that I've heard it many times live but I can't say the same for Hooker with a Penis
Also, we got basically 3 new songs. The Dan Solo is one of the most intense musical pieces from tool I've ever seen performed.

Jambi makes me happy alone. Fresno here we come. I heard Dan Solo was actually a mixture of King Crimson's B'Boom - check it:

Wings Sign Mantha To Entry-Level Contract
by Paul on 10/12/13 at 04:16 PM ET
Comments (6)
Detroit, MI... The Detroit Red Wings today agreed to terms with right wing Anthony Mantha on a three-year entry-level contract. In accordance with club policy, additional details will not be disclosed.
Mantha, 19, was selected by Detroit this past June in the first round (20th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-5, 204-pound forward has gotten off to a fast start this season with the Val d'Or Foreurs, leading the QMJHL with 23 points (13-10-23) in only eight contests. Last season, he was the league's only 50-goal scorer, tallying 89 points (50-39-89) in 67 games and ranking 10th overall in scoring. He also added 12 points (5-7-12) in nine postseason contests. A native of Longueuil, Quebec, Mantha has compiled 158 points (83-75-158) in 139 major junior games

Red Wings morning quickies: on draws, Mantha and 'gone weddin''

Amongst a sparse set of notes ahead of tonight's game against the Philadelphia Flyers (7 PM EDT, FSD/CSN Philadelhpia/97.1 FM, and it's the Wings' "Pink the Rink" game):
MLive's Ansar Khan penned a story about the Wings' faceoff woes, noting that the Wings haven't finished lower than 10th place in faceoffs since the 97-98 season...
"When you get beat like we did the way we did, I've been here a long time, but if you can dig up a game when we've been that bad at home (in the faceoff circle), … '' coach Mike Babcock said. "I understand sometimes in the first period you get fed your lunch and you respond, but it was like that all night long. We lost the first seven draws in own zone. To me, that's intensity and being prepared. As a coach you didn't do a very good job. It's up to you to get your team ready to play. We weren't ready to play, we didn't play hard enough, we were foolish in the way we played, we weren't relentless. Go through the whole thing and it was a tough day.''

As I prepare to enjoy and/or endure my dear friend's wedding, here's a slate of press releases and Red Wings-related notes to fill up a Friday night.
You already know that the Wings demoted Cory Emmerton and Petr Mrazek (with Jonas Gustavsson getting healthy just in time for the Wings' stretch of 5 games in 8 nights), recalled Luke Glendening and significantly shook up their lines in anticipation of tomorrow's game against the Philadelphia Flyers, who are tangling with the Phoenix Coyotes right now (again, somewhat ironically, Tuesday's now 8 PM-starting home game's opponent, the Blue Jackets, will be "warming up" the Wings' Columbus Day matinee foe in the Boston Bruins tomorrow afternoon).
Tomorrow night is the Red Wings' "Pink the Rink" game, and the community relations department posted a press release regarding activities at a game in which Jimmy Howard's going to don pink gear and a pink mask to help raise awareness for breast cancer research:

Red Wings great Metro Prystai passes away at 85
by George Malik on 10/11/13 at 06:45 PM ET
Comments (1)
Red Wings broadcaster Mickey Redmond mentioned this on last night's broadcast, but I was surprised that no one else mentioned it. Per Regina, Saskatchewan's News Talk 980 CJME's Lisa Schick, Red Wings legend Metro Prystai passed away on Thursday.
You may remember Prystai because the three-time Stanley Cup-winner was absolutely gobsmacked when Mike and Marian Ilitch ensured that all living Red Wings alums would receive rings for their respective Stanley Cup wins in 2008, and Prystai received his ring in the mail. Schick notes that Prystai had a helluva career:
Metro "Meatball" Prystai made it to the Stanley Cup series three times in his career and also played in three all-star games. He spent 11 years in the NHL but it all started in Saskatchewan. The Yorkton native first played with the Moose Jaw Canucks of the SJHL before entering the NHL with the Chicago Blackhawks in 1947.
He was with the Red Wings for all three Stanley Cup runs.
"It was terrific," Prystai recalled in an interview recently posted online by the author of a forthcoming book about his life. "If I could do it all over again I would," he laughed.

As such, as Paul noted, the Red Wings made quite the shake-up in the personnel department today--both in terms of call-ups/demotions and line changes. Per the Wings' PR department....

10 things you should know ahead of the TCU-Texas Tech clash in College World Series

4. It's not only impressive that three Texas schools made it to the College World Series (the Texas Longhorns being the third), but all three have had impressive turnarounds from last season. TCU, Texas Tech and Texas all missed out on the postseason last season. The Red Raiders hadn't made an NCAA Regional since 2004 under Texas Baseball Hall of Fame coach Larry Hays.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was one of 15 large-scale projects GAO auditors assessed in their latest review.
Although NASA has shown improvement on managing project costs and schedules, the Government Accountability Office said its acquisition management still needs attention.
"GAO has designated NASA's acquisition management as a high-risk area because of NASA's history of persistent cost growth and schedule slippage in the majority of major projects," GAO's April 15 report states.
NASA has begun launching an earned value management system for several major projects after GAO previously recommended improving the agency's EVM efforts. In 2013, NASA took several additional steps to more effectively manage its portfolio, including maintaining a set-cost performance level for major projects.
For the 100-plus-page report, GAO auditors assessed 15 projects, including the mammoth undertaking of the James Webb Space Telescope.
GAO said NASA has significantly improved its management of maturing technologies, which can minimize risks for projects entering the development stage. According to the review, 63 percent of projects that have undergone a preliminary review have met best practices for technology maturity, compared to 29 percent in 2010.
"Demonstrating that technologies -- critical and heritage -- will work as intended in a relevant environment serves as a fundamental element of a sound business case," the report states, "and projects falling short of this standard before preliminary design review often experience subsequent technical problems, which can increase the risk of cost growth and schedule delays."
Of the 13 assessed projects with critical technologies, 11 had matured those technologies by the preliminary review.
In NASA's response to the findings, Associate Administrator Robert Lightfoot noted that "NASA has a long-standing designation as a GAO high-risk area, and the GAO has previously identified weaknesses in NASA's cost and schedule estimating practices." NASA created a corrective action plan in 2007 and 2008, and "to date, six of seven initiatives NASA identified are complete and operational, with additional work remaining in the area of cost performance."

Members of the Houston Texans accused Tennessee Titans tackle David Stewart of employing some dirty tactics during their game on Sunday, including pulling the hair of Houston linebacker Brooks Reed, the Houston Chronicle reported. "I saw some things I've never seen before," Texans defensive end Antonio Smith told the Chronicle. "I saw him try to pull (Reed's) hair out, tried to ride somebody's back, which I thought was kind of funny, actually." The 6-foot-7, 315-pound Stewart is in his eighth NFL season. "He's like (Dolphins lineman Richie) Incognito," Texans outside linebacker Connor Barwin said of Stewart. "Everybody will say it -- he's a dirty player. He threw a punch at me. He threw a punch at Brooks." Texans safety Danieal Manning told the Chronicle of a particular play in the second half that got his attention. "One play, I saw J-Joe (cornerback Johnathan Joseph) making a tackle, and (Stewart) was around the pile, and he was trying to help (running back) Chris Joh...

Arnold Palmer has been admitted into the Hospital with high blood pressure. Although people reported no one is extremely worried about he King of golf, they will keep Arnie overnight as a precaution. Palmer just watched Tiger Woods win his 7th Arnold Palmer Invitational this afternoon from the Bay Hill Club. Palmer is the man responsible for making golf the great televised game it is today.Palmer was and still is one of the most popular players in the history of the game.
Reports are saying the high blood pressure could be a result of new medication the king is taking. Palmer had to be taken to the hospital and he missed the trophy presentation at his tournament. Hey sitting around with Johnny Miller for a couple of days could make anyone's blood pressure go up. Just kidding. When you hit your knees tonight please include Arnie in your prayers. Even the King can use a little help from upstairs.
Palmer had been advised to monitor his blood pressure throughout the day because of some issues with new medicine he was taking. one last test about 15 minutes before the tournament showed an increase in blood pressure. Palmer's long time business manager Alaistair Johnston said, "It wasn't anything to do with any ailments or any discomfort he felt," Johnston said. "The blood pressure was at a level where the doctor involved suggested that he go immediately to get more intensive evaluation at the hospital."
Sam Saunders, Palmer's grandson, tweeted, "For all concerned my granddad is doing fine and will be good to go tomorrow. Thank you for all of your nice comments and concern." Palmer is 83 years old come September 10th, it is understandable why so many are so worried about the King tonight.
Good to see Palmer was released from the Hospital and he ruteurned to his Office on Monday. Not bad for an 82 year old. Keep going Arnie!!!

Aksel Svindal
Downhill Skier
Sunday's much-anticipated men's downhill may be a coronation for Norway's Aksel Svindal.
Bode Miller, the six-time Olympic medalist, crashed during an epic super-G run at the alpine skiing world championships at Beaver Creek in Colorado on Thursday, slicing a deep wound in his right calf and severing a hamstring tendon that required surgery to repair.
With several major contests still to go, the answer to best all-around athletics could come in cross-country marathons.
Austrian Matthias Mayer won the downhill skiing gold medal with a daring run, putting his country back on top of a skiing world it feels a near-divine right to dominate.
After two days of Sochi Olympic competition, Norway—with its population of 5 million—leads the medal count.
The best athletes in the world don't always have the best physiques in the world for what they do. Here's how they figure out a way to win.
If Norway wins the medal count at the Sochi Winter Games, one region's culture and lifestyle there may explain why.

The Mankato City Council on Monday approved a resolution that ends the city's tax levy for funding the Blue Earth County library system. Mankato and Blue Earth County have been unable to reach a joint powers agreement, so the county will now be forced to confront the issue of how to pay for the $516,000 annual library budget. The Blue Earth County Board will be discussing the issue today (TUE).

Budget carrier AirAsia has taken delivery of the first Airbus A320 fitted with sharklet wing-tips, which replace the wing fences previously installed on the type.
The new wing-tips are optional but will become standard on the future re-engined A320neo family.
Airbus says the modified wing-tips will enable A320 operators to squeeze 100nm (180km) additional range from the aircraft, or provide 450kg of extra payload, by reducing fuel burn.
"These new wing-tip devices will contribute to fulfilling our goal of being the most efficient, innovative low cost airline in the world," says AirAsia group chief Tony Fernandes.
AirAsia ordered another 100 A320s during December 2012, bringing its total orders for the twinjet family to 475. Of these, 264 will be A320neo variants.

Professor: Water crisis avoidable if planned for now
PHOENIX -- Arizona could face a water crisis in the next 25 years but that can be avoided if the state starts planning now, a professor said.
"We're not at a crisis," Dr. Sharon Megdal, director of the Water Resources Research Center at the University of Arizona. "I think that is the first thing we should get out there. What all the water planners, officials and decision-makers are saying is that we have to look to the future and we have to plan now for our growing population, for the fact that we may even be an extended drought."
But that planning has already been put into motion.
"I think we've done a good job overall," said Megdal. "We've been a good state...at water conservation and efficient use."
That planning includes things like the Central Arizona Project at Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the nation.
"We've planned for the future," said Megdal. "We've stored water underground, we put a groundwater management act in place so that we don't overdraft aquifers in certain parts of the state."
Megdal said the plans currently being explored include everything from smarter use of waste water, such as an outdoor-only watering system, and even desalination.
"In Arizona you might say, 'Where is our sea,' but we're talking about possibly entering into arrangements with California or Mexico whereby we help pay for some desalinated seawater for them and, in exchange, take some of their Colorado River water."
People also need to be involved, according to Megdal. She said those who want to help can do simple things, like take shorter showers and water their lawns less.
While Average Joe may not see every step taken to preserve Arizona's water sources, Megdal said herself and water planners statewide are working to avoid a crisis well before there is one.
"We don't want to get to the point where we all look at each other and say, 'Why didn't we talk about this 25 years ago.'"

Tyrell Johnson's standing with the Vikings is uncertain after the fourth-year safety was arrested on suspicion of driving while impaired early Tuesday, according to jail records.
"The Vikings are aware of last night's incident involving Tyrell Johnson," the team said in a statement. "At this time, the team will withhold any further comment."
Johnson, whose full name is Marcellous Tyrell Johnson, was booked into Hennepin County Jail on suspicion of fourth-degree DWI at 3:17 a.m. Tuesday.
The Minnesota State Patrol gave this account of the incident:
About 2 a.m., a trooper stopped Johnson for failing to signal a merge near Interstate 94 and Interstate 394.
The trooper saw that Johnson had bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech and that he smelled of alcohol.
The trooper administered a field sobriety test, and his blood alcohol concentration registered 0.12.
Johnson, 26, was released from jail about 5:30 a.m.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 1.
Efforts to reach Johnson were unsuccessful.
Johnson, drafted in the second round in 2008 out of Arkansas State, has made 24 starts with two interceptions in his three-plus seasons with the Vikings.
Johnson dropped a potential game-clinching interception in the final minutes of Sunday's 24-20 loss to Tampa Bay. Through two games, he has split strong safety reps with starter Jamarca Sanford.
Johnson is the third player on the current 53-man roster to be arrested in 2011.
Rhett Bomar was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated during training camp, but the fourth-string quarterback had little chance to make the opening-day roster.
Lions game on TV: The Vikings have fewer than 1,500 tickets available for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions at the Metrodome, which will be televised locally, according to Vikings vice president of sales/marketing Steve Lacroix.
This should solidify the Vikings' 138th consecutive sellout - and no blackouts since 1997.
After years of lackluster football, the Lions actually might be driving ticket sales thanks to a 2-0 start and a 48-3 victory over Kansas City. The Vikings' next home game is Oct. 9 against Arizona.
Roster move: To make room for defensive tackle Kevin Williams, the Vikings released backup defensive end Adrian Awasom.
Awasom made an impression in training camp and recorded two sacks in the exhibition finale against Houston. But knee swelling forced him to miss two practices last week, and he was on the inactive list for the Tampa Bay game. Awasom's release leaves the Vikings with four defensive ends - Jared Allen, Brian Robison, Griffen and rookie D'Aundre Reed.
Williams returns after serving a two-game suspension for the StarCaps case.

As long as you have trim below and blocking. These fit nicely up-front and give enough light when used close enough together.

Looking for smiles, fun and a little romance in between!!
I am a very dedicated full time mommy of a beautiful 4 year old. I enjoy going out on a romantic date as much as staying in and having movie night. Looking for an honest gentleman. I do not like talking about myself...but here it goes... I am a very passionate, loving, caring, big hearted, selfless lady. My BIG family means the world to me. My 4 year old is my life. Literally. I have a fantastic job that I absolutely love!! Between that and being a mommy I rarely find time for myself. I'm not into the whole bar scene and figured I'd give this a shot. Definitely a little shy, for the most part, then once I get to know you it's a totally different story. I love to cook and bake; If the toilet paper roll is upside down, I will take it off and switch it; I never go a day without giving my daughter one million kisses; I'm loyal (to a fault - if that makes any sense at all); I'm addicted to "The Bachelor(ette)"; I get a manicure once a week. All the above may sound silly but like I previously stated, all of this talking about "me" is weird to me. Best of luck out there!!

Working on colored pencil art in PS7.0.1
I'm trying to fix a drawing that I did originally in colored pencil. Because the drawing was large, it had to be scanned in two sections and then pasted back together in Photoshop. Well, the two parts didn't quite match up, so rather than re-scan, I'm trying to just sort of blend the area where they meet. (My scanner is broken, so I used a friend's scanner and I'm not there right now.) Trouble is, I can't get the blended area to look like colored pencil. If I use the blur or smudge tool, it just looks...well, blurry or smudgy. How can I get a more hand-colored look? I hope I'm explaining this well enough that someone can figure it out. I've never done much with Photoshop and have no idea what I'm doing. I looked through some threads to try and find a solution, but I'm not even sure what to look for. Any links or advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought-- particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things. ~Woody Allen

Bookshelf: Christians, Jewish like Cook approach
"Modern Jews Engage the New Testament" — By Rabbi Michael J. Cook — Jewish Lights, 2008 ($30 list; less than $22 online)
Rabbi Michael J. Cook feels so strongly about the importance of New Testament scholarship in contemporary Jewish life that he has persuaded Hebrew Union College, where he teaches, to require its study by all rabbinical students.
His scholarship should be and has been embraced by Christians as well; he said that half of his book sales have been to Christians.
Cook does not ask Jews to embrace the New Testament. Rather, he asks them to study it critically, "To master what I would call 'Gospel dynamics' the manners, mechanisms and the strategies by which early Christian traditions were molded."
Dr. Eugene J. Fisher, associate director emeritus of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, writes: "(The book) distills modern New Testament scholarship in a way that will greatly aid Jews. Christians reading it will be fascinated by this Jewish 'take' on it, and challenged in a positive way where they disagree with some of the author's conclusions."
The Rev. Peter A. Pettit, director of the Institute for Jewish-Christian Understanding, Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pa., writes: "(Cook offers) sharp insights, broad scholarship and straight language (opening) up the world of the New Testament and the dynamics that produced it. (He is) provocative without being explosive."

Taking tips, chasing leads, and solving problems
Bank employee naps on keyboard, accidentally transfers $293 million
A German bank employee made a big blunder when he fell asleep on his keyboard: He accidentally transferred 222 million euro ($293 million), The Raw Story reports.
The Deutsche Bank employee was supposed to transfer 62.40 euros but "fell asleep for an instant, while pushing onto the number 2 key on the keyboard." Result: 222,222,222.22 euros.
The bank discovered the error shortly after it happened in the spring of 2012 and corrected the error.
The employee's colleague at the Frankfurt office, who let the mistake slip through while verifying the order, was fired. She sued, according to RU Facts. The court ruled that she checked 812 documents on the day of the incident and that it happened by mistake rather than out of intent, and ordered the worker reinstated. (1)
Frontier-to-Delta mileage conversion complaints nearly all resolved
Frontier Airlines and Delta Air Lines have resolved more than 80% of the complaints filed by Wisconsin consumers who had problems getting their EarlyReturns frequent flier miles transferred from to SkyMiles as part of a promotional offer last summer.
State and federal officials tell me that's the latest update from the airlines.
Jerad Albracht, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, said the state has about 250 complaints on file. Of those, only 48 consumers have not yet had their miles converted. That's nearly 81% resolved. »Read Full Blog Post
Frontier says two thirds of frequent flier transfer complaints are resolved
Frontier Airlines has resolved two thirds of the complaints that hundreds of frequent fliers have filed with the state of Wisconsin's consumer protection agency.
The travelers complained that their EarlyReturns miles were never transferred to Delta Air Lines SkyMiles although the consumers met the conditions of the transfer, which was offered as a promotion last summer.
Frontier told the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection that it has transferred miles for another 96 consumers, Sandy Chalmers, the administrator of the Division of Trade and Consumer Protection told me Friday. »Read Full Blog Post
One fourth of complaints about Frontier frequent flier mile transfers to Delta resolved, state says
A fourth of the Frontier Airlines frequent fliers who complained to the state of Wisconsin about problems getting their miles transferred to Delta Air Lines finally have received their transfers.
The Journal Sentinel first reported in December on customers' complaints that the airlines wouldn't transfer fliers' EarlyReturns miles to Delta SkyMiles even though customers met the conditions for a transfer. Since then, 245 customers have filed complaints with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
Of those, 65 (26.5%) have now been resolved, DATCP spokesman Jerad Albracht said Wednesday. »Read Full Blog Post
Half of complainants say their Frontier frequent flier miles have been transferred to Delta
It's been just over a week since I last updated you on our progress getting frequent fliers' miles transferred from Frontier to Delta, so it's time for an update.
So far, I have heard from 20 readers who initially had problems but whose miles have finally been converted from Frontier EarlyReturns to Delta SkyMiles, nearly all of them thanks to Delta. That's out of around 40 readers whose complaints I had forwarded to the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
A number of customers are still waiting, but about 200 government complaints are still being processed, so I'm hopeful it will get resolved. It could take a couple of months, though, so be patient. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Frontier still dismissing consumer complaints despite pledge to review again: Frontier-to-Delta mileage conversion part 2
(Part 2 of 2) As I mentioned in the first part of this blog yesterday, Delta customer service reps are kindly extending a helping hand to frequent fliers who had problems converting their Frontier EarlyReturns miles to Delta SkyMiles after months of fruitless attempts. Customers are very grateful.
However, notably missing from all of this is Frontier. As we reported Monday, Frontier Airlines spokeswoman Kate O'Malley asked customers to email the airline again if they had conversion problems. Strangely, Frontier is continuing to respond with the same "sorry, but you're out of luck" emails to people who contacted the airline both before and after O'Malley made the pledge that the airline would take another look at people's problems.
A Brookfield man contacted Frontier Monday night, after O'Malley's statement, but got the following response: »Read Full Blog Post

Progress on Frontier and Delta's frequent flyer mile transfer?
Are we finally making some progress on getting Frontier Airlines customers' EarlyReturns frequent flyer miles converted to Delta Air Lines SkyMiles?
Perhaps, according to a Delta rep's response to a complaining customer. We're also getting some clues on what might be going on behind the scenes.
I detailed in a couple of stories earlier this month how customer service reps from both airlines refused to help customers whose frequent flyer miles didn't transfer for various reasons. »Read Full Blog Post
Top problems transferring Frontier EarlyReturns miles to Delta SkyMiles
So many people have contacted me about their problems converting Frontier EarlyReturns miles to Delta SkyMiles since our story ran Monday that I feel the need to share some of the most common problems.
I wish I had a flow chart to illustrate this. It'd be one of those "it'd be funny if it wasn't true" charts showing that regardless where these customers started, their journeys always end up in the same place: A response that boils down to, "Sorry, it's past the deadline.

LONDON (AP) -- Steel maker Corus said Friday that it will cut production of crude steel by 30 per cent in the next six months as a response to falling demand.
The company, a subsidiary of India's Tata Steel, also said it will temporarily shut three blast furnaces in Britain and the Netherlands.
The news comes a day after Corus said it would cut 400 British jobs from its distribution business. Corus said no jobs would be lost as a result of the production cuts announced Friday.
Corus is Europe's second largest steel producer and produces around 20 million tons of steel a year.
The European steelmakers' association Eurofer said last month that the European steel market was entering an unstable phase as demand dries up and rival steel imports from China rise.

What are you doing to decrease world suck today?
For the most part, I think I write the way I talk - unless I'm being absurd. I attended different schools for each part of schooling - they just happened to be in different continents. Food is always better when made fresh. If you have never had really fresh pasta, you should let me show you what you are missing. Jogging is important and you should do it, but at what cost? I have a habit of over-thinking. I dislike the details of planning, but prefer to know where I am heading. I am trying to stop being afraid of the word "no." Adventures are great. One of my life goals is to talk someone into dyeing his or her hair either purple or orange. If you catch a reference to something, you automatically win brownie points. I am a perfectionist, which is a crippling quality because things don't ever end up being "good enough." That's why I haven't started a YouTube channel yet. I'd say that I need to always be learning something new. It just never stops, nor do I want to let it stop.

Tony Meola
Bridging the Gap
Well before John Harkes and Tony Meola were born, goalkeeper Frank Borghi made history with the U.S. Men's National Team at the 1950 FIFA World Cup. Yet those three players certainly shared a unique and common bond.
Borghi, who died Monday at the age of 89, backstopped the USA to that stunning 1-0 upset of heavily favored England in Brazil.

Some 40 years later, Meola and Harkes played vital roles in helping the Americans to their first World Cup since Borghi and his teammates shocked the world.
During their journey to Italia '90, both players took advantage of opportunities to meet and talk with Borghi. Harkes got closer when he portrayed the role of USA midfielder Ed McIlvenny in the 2005 movie "The Game of Their Lives," which recounted the USA's astounding accomplishment.
Meola met the fellow goalkeeper during a World Cup qualifying match in Borghi's hometown of St. Louis in 1989, and was impressed with how the National Soccer Hall of Famer comported himself.
"I used to see him quite a bit actually and really enjoyed each time I was able to talk to him," Meola said. "He was just an upbeat, positive guy. He was excited about where the goalkeepers were going in America and how they were doing. He was certainly the first of the guys who should be on the top of the list when you talk about goalkeepers."
Meola and Harkes are hosts of Counter Attack on SiriusXM radio.
Harkes said that he is a student of soccer history, so the USA's past always has intrigued him.
"That group was a special group of players," Harkes said. "Frank was a special guy. He had a humble, down-to-earth personality. To stay as humble as he was, he was incredible. Walter Bahr, Frank Borghi, these guys I always heard a lot about and their history. He was a massive part of it."
The 1950 U.S. Men's National Team arrives in Brazil for the World Cup.
For the St. Louis movie scenes, Borghi was around the set a lot, said Harkes, who had an opportunity to talk to him several times (actor Gerard Butler portrayed Borghi in the film).
When someone noted that it was two legends of the game talking together – Harkes and Meola also are members of the National Soccer Hall of Fame – the former midfielder downplayed his role.
"I'm a student [of soccer history]," Harkes said. "I'm a small part of the game. These guys that came before, researching their story was a privilege. When the 1950 team beat England, newspapers thought, when they came back, it was 11-nil. He had a good chuckle about that."
Meola said that he did not remember talking to Borghi about the 1950 upset much.
"We talked about qualifying for the World Cup and where the game has gone since he played, how excited he was that another U.S. team was in the World Cup back then," Meola said. "We met over the years at different places. ... Just a good guy to be around and a lot of positive energy."
Added Harkes: "It was great to have that support."
Borghi made only nine international appearances during an era when National Team matches were sparse. What might not be known was that Borghi registered a 2-5-2 record, earning two shutouts while surrendering 27 goals. One of those clean sheets was a scoreless draw with Mexico during World Cup qualifying on Sept. 4, 1949, and the other was that historic game in Brazil on June 29, 1950.
Borghi, 25 at the time, and his teammates played the game of their lives that day against what was considered one of the best teams in the world. Joe Gaetjens, who was believed to be executed as a political prisoner in his native Haiti in the 1960s, scored the lone goal in the 37th minute.
"I thought the roof would cave in," Borghi said years later. "But we had a good chemistry among our club. Five of the guys were from the St. Louis area – [Charles] Colombo, [Gino] Pariani, [Frank] Wallace, Harry Keough and myself. Walter Bahr and [Ed] McIlvenny played together in Philadelphia. Ed and John Souza played together in Fall River, Massachusetts. So the only guy who didn't play with us was Joe Maca."
The team's strategy was simple.
"We played a man-to-man system," Borghi said. "Bill Jeffrey was our coach. He let the guys coach themselves because he didn't think we had a chance. … It worked out pretty good."
Note: The preceding quotes from Frank Borghi came from a 2004 interview.
World Cup by the Numbers: Tim Howard's World Cup Performance in Modern Era
As long as he maintains a clean bill of health and is available as a starting selection for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, goalkeeper Tim Howard could set some new U.S. Men's National Team standards at next year's tournament.
Howard is looking forward to a third World Cup opportunity following his four-game performance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He served as Kasey Keller's backup in the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and did not see game action.
In the previous six World Cups starting with the 1990 tournament, four USA goalkeepers have played in 22 World Cup matches during the modern era: Tony Meola (1990 and 1994), Keller (1998 and 2006), Brad Friedel (1998 and 2002) and Howard (2010).
Among this group, Howard currently holds the best winning percentage (.500) after going 1-1-2 in South Africa. He held a 1.15 goals against average, which is also tops among the modern era goalkeepers.
Here is where Howard stands among the other three goalkeepers in the following World Cup categories:
Games played/started:
- 1. Tony Meola 7/7
- 2. Brad Friedel 6/6
- 3. Kasey Keller 5/5
- 4. Tim Howard 4/4
- 1. Brad Friedel 2
- 2. (tie) Tim Howard and Tony Meola 1
- 4. Kasey Keller 0
- 1. (tie) Brad Friedel and Tim Howard 1
- 3. (tie) Kasey Keller and Tony Meola 0
Goals against average:
- 1. Tim Howard (1.15, 5 GA in 390 min.)
- 2. Brad Friedel (1.33, 8 GA in 540 min.)
- 3. Tony Meola (1.71, 12 GA in 630 min.)
- 4. Kasey Keller (2.00, 10 GA in 450 min.)
Winning percentage:
- 1. Tim Howard (.500, 1-1-2)
- 2. Brad Friedel (.417, 2-3-1)
- 3. Tony Meola (.214, 1-5-1)
- 4. Kasey Keller (.100, 0-4-1)
Looking Back at the 1994 FIFA World Cup Draw
How appropriate that the 1994 FIFA World Cup Draw was held in Las Vegas – the gambling, glitz, glamour and betting capital of the world.
One of the more promising side stories was the press conference two days before the draw that introduced the formation of a new, 12-team professional league – Major League Soccer, the first national professional first division in the United States since the original North American Soccer League went out of business after the 1984 season.
"We believe the time has never been more right for a professional league to succeed," former U.S. Soccer president Alan Rothenberg said. "The level of participation in soccer in this country has been growing by leaps and bounds. We have proved in organizing the World Cup that we can convert participants into spectators. I have no doubt a league like this will be successful."
The new league also got the approval of FIFA, which had been urging U.S. Soccer to form a league since it awarded the World Cup to the USA in 1988.
"FIFA was very pleased to receive the excellent report from Major League Soccer," current FIFA president Sepp Blatter said. "We are optimistic about the future of soccer in the United States."
After singer James Brown provided the musical entertainment, the proceedings began.
Comedian Robin Williams did his best singlehandedly – literally – to liven up the event. He put a white surgical glove on his right hand before he picked a ball out of a bowl.
Williams commented on the huge, colorful electronic board that listed the six groups and the 24 teams. "Look! The world's largest Keno board," he said.
Through a taped message, President Clinton welcomed the world and an international TV audience estimated at 500 million. Then an array of celebrities and athletes – actor Jeff Bridges, women's soccer legend Michelle Akers, actress/model Carol Alt, pop artist Peter Max, race car driver Mario Andretti and Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton helped put the World Cup schedule together.
By the time the dust settled, the U.S was scheduled to play Switzerland on June 18 at the Pontiac Silverdome in the first World Cup match to be held indoors; Colombia, considered to be one of the best teams on the planet at the time, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., on June 22; and Romania in the same venue on June 26.
"Colombia has beaten the United States twice, 1-0 and 2-1," said then-U.S. head coach Bora Milutinovic. "It's time for the United States to beat Colombia."
Added team captain and goalkeeper Tony Meola at the time: "I'll be very disappointed if we don't move on. We'll have to fight, but we would have to fight in any group."
But the U.S. Soccer officials were more than a little concerned. Colombia at the time was considered one of the best teams in the world. Up to then, no host team had failed to reach the second round.
"A draw's a draw," said longtime U.S. Soccer Secretary General Hank Steinbrecher. "At any rate, Blatter says that the draw really doesn't matter and you've got to play the best teams anyway. We predicted we would lose to Colombia, tie Switzerland and beat Romania. That was the thinking at the time. What happens? We beat Colombia, lose to Romania and tie Switzerland. So the lesson I learned from that? Blatter may be right. The draw really doesn't matter. What matters is what's going to happen on the field."

2012 National Soccer Hall of Fame Speeches
Tony Meola Hall of Fame Player Inductee
One of the most successful and recognizable figures to don red, white and blue, U.S. goalkeeper Tony Meola had a storied career that spanned three decades, three FIFA World Cups and immense achievement for both the U.S. National Team and Major League Soccer.
Meola's 32 shutouts and 100 international caps both rank second all-time among U.S. goalkeepers through his 12 years representing the USA from 1988-2006. The Kearny, N.J., native broke onto the scene in 1989 and had immediate success on the U.S. National Team, posting a 4-0-2 record in his first six starts.
The USA's starting goalkeeper in the 1990 and 1994 FIFA World Cups, Meola served as the captain of the team in 1994. A member of the 2002 World Cup roster, he's one of only a handful of U.S. players to be part of three World Cups.
One of the top MLS goalkeepers, Meola's league career was highlighted by a 2000 campaign with the Kansas City Wizards where he posted a league-record 16 shutouts, was named MLS MVP, MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and MLS Cup MVP as Kansas City defeated the Chicago Fire for the championship.
Meola was a two-time, first-team All-American at the University of Virginia, winning the Hermann Trophy following his freshman season and the MAC Award after his sophomore season.
Outside of the soccer realm, Major League Baseball's New York Yankees drafted Meola out of high school and he lettered in baseball at Virginia. He also briefly played in the NFL, spending 11 weeks on the New York Jets roster as a placekicker.

A knife is an extension of the hand, but a little mistake could lead to fatal injuries in the kitchen. Hassan M Kamal spoke to chef Rakhee Vaswani, who will conduct a special masterclass on knife skills later this week. Here's your guide to handy tips on different knife types, its usage and care. Sit back, and get a slice of this special masterclass.
Chef's Knife
Used for chopping food on a cutting board, this knife is designed so the blade can be rocked from tip to heel for the most efficient, least-tiring cutting motion.
How to use it: Most chefs hold the knife with the thumb and forefinger gripping the top of the blade just in front of the bolster and the last three fingers curled around the handle. (Picture above)

Sleek, modern and errrr ... orange (or yellow or red), design pundits are already saying that the phone offers something similar to the iPhone's touch surface, while the designers emphasise that the phone's interface is customisable.
If it actually goes into production, could this be a model to match the Apple of Apple's eye?

India's Stocks Decline on Concern Higher Rates Will Curb Growth
April 12 (Bloomberg) -- India's benchmark stock index fell amid concern policy makers will raise borrowing costs next week as growth accelerates in the world's second-fastest expanding major economy.
ICICI Bank Ltd., the country's second-biggest lender, led declines in financial services companies. India's factory output exceeded 15 percent for a third month in February, a report today showed, increasing pressure on the central bank to raise interest rates. Larsen & Toubro Ltd., the largest engineering company, slid the most in more than two months.
The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensitive Index, or Sensex, fell 80.14, or 0.5 percent, to 17,853. The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange lost 0.4 percent to 5,339.70. The BSE 200 Index retreated 0.4 percent to 2,243.01.
"The regulatory authorities would like to moderate our growth so as not to create asset bubbles," said Deven Choksey, chief executive officer of K.R. Choksey Shares & Securities, who manages about $118 million for wealthy individuals. "Investors may avoid lenders, automakers and real estate companies until the Reserve Bank of India decision."
ICICI Bank fell 1.4 percent to 964.65 rupees. The bank was cut to "equal-weight" from "overweight" at Morgan Stanley, which said the stock has outperformed and that revenue growth may be "tepid." Larsen & Toubro slid 2.2 percent to 1,605.4 rupees. Jaiprakash Associates Ltd., a builder of dams and roads, dropped 1.1 percent to 150.15 rupees.
Expanding Output
Output at factories and mines rose 15.1 percent in February from a year earlier, the statistics department said in a statement in New Delhi today. Diminishing spare capacity may contribute to inflationary pressure, prompting the central bank to raise interest rates at an April 20 policy meeting. The reverse repurchase rate was raised last month to 3.5 percent from a record-low 3.25 percent and the repurchase rate to 5 percent.
Expansion in Asia's third-biggest economy after Japan and China is "consolidating," central bank Governor Duvvuri Subbarao said March 22. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh aims to boost growth to 10 percent, a pace needed to pull 828 million people living on less than $2 a day out of poverty.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., India's most valuable drugmaker, advanced 1.6 percent to 1,797.6 rupees. The stock led gains in the Sensex index after Sun got tentative U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its generic Namenda tablets.
Overseas Investment
Overseas investors bought a net 1.48 billion rupees ($33 million) of Indian stocks on April 8, taking their total purchases of the equities this year to 242.6 billion rupees, according to the nation's market regulator.
Foreign funds have been net buyers of stocks for 25 trading days, the longest streak of inflows since August 2005, after Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Feb. 26 pledged to trim the fiscal deficit from a 16-year high.
Inflows from overseas reached a record 834.2 billion rupees in 2009, exceeding the high set two years earlier in domestic currency terms, as the biggest rally in 18 years lured foreign funds. They sold a record 529.9 billion rupees of shares in 2008, triggering a record annual decline.
The following were among the most active on the exchange:
Siyaram Silk Mills Ltd. (SIYA IN), a textile maker, climbed 2.6 percent to 170.75 rupees, its highest close in more than two years. The company's board will meet on April 14 to consider an interim dividend, according to a statement to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
Unitech Ltd. (UT IN) rose 2.9 percent to 78.1 rupees, its steepest advance in a month. India's second-biggest developer's board will meet on April 20 to consider the recommendations of a committee on restructuring and acquisitions, according to its statement to the stock exchange.
