Built in 1540, all that remains of the old Kasbah are the fortified walls, however, the trip up the hill to this historic site is worth it for the view alone.

We have revised some of our checked baggage policies for travel worldwide. For the latest checked baggage updates, please review all relevant baggage pages before you travel.Updated: February 05, 2015
To determine first and second checked baggage service charges for your itinerary, use the baggage calculator below. Please note that as required by U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, baggage service charges for your entire itinerary are determined by the marketing carrier for the first segment of your itinerary. Your originating marketing carrier is the airline whose flight number is assigned to the first segment of your itinerary. If this carrier is not United or United Express, different charges may apply.
Baggage service charges are based on the date of ticketing and on the ticketed cabin as well as the traveler's status or membership on the date of travel. Eligibility for the checked baggage service charge waiver for travelers on award tickets issued or re-issued on or after April 15, 2015, is based on each traveler's Premier status at check-in, rather than the status of the member whose miles were used to purchase the award ticket.
For all United Economy® tickets issued or re-issued before February 1, 2015, Premier® Gold members are eligible for three complimentary checked bags at 70 pounds (32 kg) each. For United Economy tickets issued or re-issued on or after February 1, 2015, Premier Gold members are eligible for two complimentary checked bags at 70 pounds (32 kg) each for travel between the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For travel to and from select international markets, Premier Gold members are eligible for three complimentary checked bags at 70 pounds (32 kg) each.

Checked baggage service charges apply at any point where bags are checked. For a trip that includes one or more connections, bags will be checked to the final destination stated on the ticket, and the charge for checking a bag from your origin to your destination will apply. If you have a separate ticket on another carrier, you must claim bags at the destination of the first ticketed itinerary and check bags with the other carrier to the final destination. Baggage can be checked through to the final destination if the separate ticketed itinerary includes Star Alliance member airline-operated flights. For a trip that includes a voluntary stopover, your bags will be checked to your stopover point, where you will collect your bags. When you resume travel, subject to applicable charges, you may check your bags again from the new point of check-in to the destination.
Temporary or permanent baggage embargoes, based on size, weight or number of bags, may be in place at certain airports. See our Excess Baggage Embargo page for details.
Some customers are exempt from certain checked baggage service charges for bags within specified size and weight limits. For specific exemption details relating to your itinerary, select the appropriate status or membership from the dropdown list in the baggage calculator above. Note that exemptions cannot be combined to provide waived charges for additional bags. In the case of multiple exemptions, the greater of the allowances will apply. These benefits apply only on United- and United Express-operated flights when baggage check-in occurs with United.
If you plan to check additional baggage, or baggage that is over the listed size and weight limits, please review United's Excess Baggage policy for further details.
Baggage acceptance policies may vary throughout your itinerary based on the airline operating the flight. For flight segments operated by carriers other than United or United Express, please refer to that airline's policies.

The State of Braylon
The future of Braylon Edwards has been subjected to hotly contested debates ever since the free agent receiver went un-signed by the Jets. After gaining little interest on the market, the 49ers took a chance. Unfortunately for Edwards, a knee injury shut him down before any meaningful progress was achieved. Now a free agent, fans are wondering why the Jets aren't pouncing. Our man Steiny is reporting that Rich Cimini has overheard that it has been a struggle towards recovery for the former Wolverine.
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/Steiny31/status/190907601440096257″%5D
That would certainly explain what has essentially been a public shunning by the NFL. Add in his off the field issues and it makes sense. Whether the Jets are interested in bringing Braylon back or not still remains somewhat unclear but ultimately they will likely look towards the draft to upgrade given the depth of the 2012 receiving class.

Here be 3D printed dragonsPosted: January 10, 2014 Filed under: News | Tags: Dragon, dragonology, dragons, toothless 94 Comments
Earlier this week we posted about a letter we received from Sophie, a 7-year-old girl. All she wanted was a dragon.
"Our work has never ventured into dragons of the mythical, fire breathing variety. And for this Australia, we are sorry," we replied.
Sophie's letter, and our response, made an unexpected splash across the globe. It was featured on TIME, Huffington Post, The Independent, Yahoo, Breakfast TV, the list goes on. People contacted us offering to help, financial institutions tweeted their support and DreamWorks Studios phoned (seriously), saying they knew how to train dragons and wanted to speak with Sophie. The dreams of one little girl went viral.
We couldn't sit here and do nothing. After all, we promised Sophie we would look into it.
So this morning at 9:32 a.m. (AEDT), a dragon was born.
Toothless, 3D printed out of titanium, came into the world at Lab 22, our additive manufacturing facility in Melbourne. The scientists there have printed some extraordinary things in the past—huge anatomically correct insects, biomedical implants and aerospace parts. So they thought a dragon was achievable.
"Being that electron beams were used to 3D print her, we are certainly glad she didn't come out breathing them … instead of fire," said Chad Henry, our Additive Manufacturing Operations Manager. "Titanium is super strong and lightweight, so Toothless will be a very capable flyer."
Toothless is currently en route from Lab 22 in Melbourne to Sophie's home in Brisbane.
Sophie's mother Melissah said Sophie was overjoyed with our response and has been telling everyone dragon breath can be a new fuel. "All her friends are now saying they want to be a scientist and Sophie says she now wants to work at CSIRO. She's saying Australian scientists can do anything," Melissah told the Canberra Times.
We'd love to have you in our team, Sophie. For now, stay curious.

You guys are totally awesome :)
I do hope Sophie stays curious. Curiosity and that desire to learn and understand is the foundation of science. Unfortunately we tend to school that out of our kids!
That last sentence there… I'm glad I saw that here. It's something I think people don't talk about enough. If students were directed toward projects of their own, which they develop using their own research and passions, I think people would be a lot more successful than the current system of stressing people out with test and assignments for a conformed set of information.
This is the opinion of one such student though, but I definitely believe what I say to be true.
Sooo…. how could a girl go about getting one of these? Because despite being 2 decades miss Sophie's senior, I must admit I'd rather like a dragon for myself. There's a real marketing niche here that you should look into.
@Amy: Haha, I want one too.
As a collector of dragons, I have almost 200 dragons made from many different materials: Ceramic, Glass, Resin, Wood, Pewter, Stone, Steel, and even Coal to name a few. However nothing in titanium…. Yet…
me too please … just love the colour, my favourite and one of my most favourite metals!
Well played, CSIRO. ♥
I truly hope Sophie got a call from Dreamworks too :)
Excellent work CSIRO, keep inspiring the younguns!
Any chance of getting the .stl?
agreed. Please make the .stl available :)
How inspiring CSIRO and reinforced Sophie's thoughts of the significant abilities of CSIRO scientists. I am certainly inspired. Judging how I received this page, looks like your creative efforts have gone viral again !!
AWESOME story! restores some faith in humanity. I love that science makes fantasy a reality!
Aww! You made me cry at work. Faith in humanity restored.
Part one when I read it in the paper had me choked up … Part two had me in tears – thank you for respecting a little girls comments, wishes & comments and going the extra mile to create a dinosaur. Sophie and her friends (plus I don't know how many others) probably now have an awesome interest in science. A big thank you to you all :-)
that should have been comments, wishes & dreams
Does it breathe fire?
Only four days from concept to delivery? Scientists totally rock.
Well done, Csiro, well done. :)
You guys rock!
This story gives me cause to love Australia and Australians even more.
You guys are awesome! I just hope Sophie realises she's getting a titanium dragon not a pet.
PS Are you taking orders?! :-D
You guys are amazing.
I was privileged to a few years ago work for the CSIRO team in Adelaide. It was amazing, you are an amazing institution and this just really made my day :D
Your exploits are legendary! Love the colouring on the dragon as well – Australians improving on the black of the animated Toothless! I hope the Federal Government triples your funding!
CSIRO, you guys rock!!!! What a wonderful thing to do for a little girl!! I do wish I had one too though!!!
Well done to whoever it was that decided not to throw a little girl's letter in the bin, but to reply and then then to do this. Good for you!!!!
You have done untold good for science in this country. I want to be a scientist too if I can work in a place with such a fantastic attitude and respect for the curious.
There isn't a part of this story that isn't cool. Imagination plus science equals cool! Well done to all!
High fives and well done from us here at the Museum Victoria Discovery Centres – I hope Sophie does come to work for you one day!
Australian spirit alive and well. Not sure you would get such a response from other worldwide and very important research houses but it has ignited a passion for science in some little minds that's fir sure and that alone is good value for money. Well done guys at CSIRO and Sophie.
hmmmm, interesting.
AKA Night Fury! :)
We're in good hands with these types of scientists. Really well done.
but the face should be black…..
When I read the first part of this story I was delighted at the direction Sophies parents sent her to have her questions answered and the wonderfully funny way the CSIRO responded to her letter. Today you have me in tears reading how you brought her dream to life, and I can only imagine how stunned your team must have been to receive a call from Dreamworks! Thank you for making the CSIRO into a friendly and humourous entity and not just a faceless corporation, I am going to share this story with my six year old and show him that if wants to follow his dream of being a scientist, he too could be a part of your amazing team.
Very nice, the kids will love you!
Do you know "Tradinno" from the German company "Zollner"?
As a scientist, female as well, I loved her letter and, even more, your response to her. Bravo.
For the first time today I have laughed with pure joy. All the sadness in the news and finally something bright and wonderful.
Thank you CSIRO for making a little girl's dream come to be.
I always have faith that Aussie scientists are the best in the world and now here is the proof!
Parabéns a todos pela iniciativa de deixar uma criança mais feliz.
You guys are awesome! I hope my daughter turns out as curious and imaginative as this little girl!
I will show this to my 10 year old girl who is interested in Black holes and Fashion deign.
Love how Sophie family encouraged her
Love how CSIRO answered
Love how they went the extra mile to design and create a dragon for Sophie
Lets hope Sophie discovers and alternative fuel source and if it is with dragon fire even better!
It is not a black dragon … :(
Great job keeping the dream alive, for Sophie and for the child in all of us. I especially love the cute scientist giving Toothless the sound affects at the end :)
The Story ist told ewerywhere.
Greetings from Germany
Love that story. Well done colleagues.
You guys are simply awesome. Gave me goosebumps all the way over here in Germany! :-) Thanks for a truly heartwarming story!
Great idea, on wondrous world of children it is permitted! All of you are really lovely scientists for Sophie.

We've ventured into hatching dragons some time ago. And since 2012 they've been hatching from our nest flying out all over the world to their new keepers. One of the new hatchlings is eager to fly out to Sophie should she wish to look after him. He feels this young dragon mother knows exactly how to appreciate him. Drop us a line so we can show the little one where to fly to precisly!
Wow!!!! That's beautiful…God Bless!!!
The Kind Hearted Team at CSIRO have made one girls dream come true and out of this 10 maybe 20 New scientists will be Born, from a Letter so the Words ( the pen is mightier than the sword) comes true
Beautiful!! If you can dream it it can be made! I applauded you for making a little girls dream come true!!
Sophie is a lovely girl with fantastic imagination, and the response of the your people are just incredible, together it has made one of the most wonderful, heart touching true stories of the year, thank you all to bring us a beautiful beginning of 2014.
All the above, and … also ..
How many parents would have corrected her mistakes and made her write a 'neat' copy and then not gone any further when she lost heart, and interest?
Come to think of it, how many parents make their kids … write .. at all?
Big, fat, fire breathing kudos all round.
Spesh to Soph :)
Let's hope for Sophie's sake that science becomes a bit more of a priority in this country by the time she is older. As a young lab tech who is a few weeks out from starting a PhD I can say I am not very optimistic about my future career in science. Which is sad, because it is my true passion in life, but a girl's gotta pay the rent…

A school district in Ohio has decided to stand up to the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) over a classic portrait of Jesus that has hung in a local school since 1947. The FFRF sent a letter in early January to school officials in Jackson City, Ohio, charging that the presence of the framed print in the community's middle school is a violation of the First Amendment's supposed separation of church and state, and must be taken down.
A local resident reportedly complained about the picture to the FFRF, prompting the letter from the group's attorney, Rebecca Markert. "It is illegal for Jackson Middle School to post religious images on the walls of its school," wrote Markert, adding that if what her group had been told is true, "the District must remove the picture of Jesus at once. We ask that you commence an immediate investigation into this allegation and take the appropriate and necessary steps to bring Jackson Middle School into compliance with the Constitution."
Markert told local reporters that not only would the presence of such a picture be unconstitutional, but would also be an affront to non-Christian students, staff, and local residents. "If a large portrait of Jesus were to hang in Jackson Middle School, an objective observer would have no doubt that it had the district's stamp of approval," Markert observed.
Phil Howard, the district's superintendent, was apparently not influenced by the FFRF's actions. He explained that the portrait of Jesus, placed at the school some 55 years ago by a local chapter of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), is one of several prints displayed in the school's Hall of Honor, which includes notable alumni and influential historical figures.
"I'm certainly not going to run down there and take the picture down because some group from Madison, Wisconsin, who knows nothing about the culture of our community or why the picture is even there, wants me to take it down," said Howard.

S&S Cycle 570 EZ Easy Start Camshaft Kit For Harley Twin Cam
If you've put together a hot bike - or if reliability is paramount - an S&S Easy Start Cam Kit should be on your list. Don't bother fooling with compression releases or massive-output batteries and super-high-buck starters. S&S designed the Easy Start cams with performance in mind, but then revamped the design to give you great power on a cam that starts easier than a dirtbike. At the center of the cam lives a centrifugally retracted, spring loaded compression release lobe milled into the heel of each exhaust lobe. At cranking speeds, the lobe bumps the exhaust valve open slightly during the compression stroke, making the engine much easier to turn over. Once the engine fires and reaches 800 RPM, the lobe swings out of the tappet roller path, allowing the engine to run normally and with full compression. Ain't technology great?

Two semitrailers traveling along Highway 6 collided in the Red Narrows Thursday evening and strewed wreckage across both lanes.
The southeastern Utah traffic artery was closed for nearly 12 hours as debris was hauled away and environmental mitigation got under way.
The Utah Highway Patrol reported the accident took place around 6 p.m. One of the semitrailers was hauling gasoline, according to the UHP.
Motorists were advised to search for alternate roads if traveling near the area.
The road re-opened shortly before 6 a.m.

Honda has a successful formula for their compact SUV and they see little reason to deviate too much. All CR-Vs come with a capable 4-cylinder engine, a cleverly designed interior and compact exterior dimensions. This is all wrapped up in attractively designed sheet metal and sold with available all-wheel drive at a competitive price. While some competitors have allowed their vehicles to balloon in size, features and price, Honda has steadfastly stuck to the winning formula that has made every generation of CR-V a success.
Compare the 2015 Honda CR-V against similar models
The Honda CR-V carries over into 2014 unchanged. Base prices now start at just under $23,000, making it quite a bargain of a small SUV.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2015 Honda CR-V. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2015 Honda CR-V. Select the color to see a close-up view.
Substantially revised for 2015, Honda CR-V is a functional, compact four-door crossover with room for four adults and plenty of cargo. It comes with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, continuously variable transmission and a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Five trim packages are offered with no options, and a new top-of-the-line Touring model.
The 2015 CR-V has a new engine, the same size but stronger and more efficient than before, and a new continuously variable transmission for a noteworthy 3-4 mpg lift in EPA fuel economy ratings. Suspension has been modified with a wider track and the body structure reinforced to maintain top safety status. The dashboard and console have been revised and the rear seat gets air conditioning vents. A side camera is added to most models. And the new CR-V Touring model adds a suite of active safety assists, power tailgate and 18-inch wheels among other things.
Honda CR-V arrives ready to use, with useful storage areas, simple controls, a split-folding rear seat with a clever system for folding it, and generous 35 cubic feet of cargo space behind the seats. A backup camera, Bluetooth hands-free phone and streaming internet radio connectivity, SMS text message alert and a juvenile-monitor mirror are standard on each one. The Touring model comes with lane keeping assist, forward collision warning/mitigation braking, navigation, leather trim, and a 328-watt sound system with HD radio.
The CR-V's new 2.4-liter engine delivers 185 horsepower and 181 pound-feet of torque, all at lower revs than its predecessor. Fuel economy is near the best in class, with an EPA-estimated 27/34 mpg City/Highway on front-wheel drive models, and 26/33 mpg with all-wheel drive, on Regular Unleaded. A driver-enabled Eco-Assist feature intended to save fuel adjusts powertrain operation but still delivers full power when you ask for it.
Ride quality and noise levels are controlled so the CR-V can handle road trips as well as school-zone grands prix and restocking at the big-box stores. Handling is predictable and benign without riding as firmly as sportier crossovers do. All-wheel drive operates as front-wheel drive until slip is detected and more traction needed whereupon power is sent to the rear wheels. Although its 8 inches of ground clearance exceeds that of some four-wheel-drive vehicles, the CR-V is not designed for extended off-highway travel.
There's nothing daring in interior design, unless you think proven, simple, pleasing to the eye and functional are daring concepts. Most upper trim is soft-touch with hard plastic dominant below, but texturing avoids any industrial look. Rear seats fold easily if not flat with the cargo floor with the pull of a lever, and the cargo cover can be removed and stowed on the floor so large items don't require leaving it behind.
Safety features include electronic stability control, six airbags and a predictive rearview camera on all but base models. The 2015 Honda CR-V has not yet been tested but its precursor earned a 5-star overall crash-test score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, as well as a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Alternatives to the 2015 Honda CR-V include other small crossovers such as the Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Nissan Rogue, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport or Tucson, Jeep Cherokee, Kia Sportage, Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Forester, and Volkswagen Tiguan. Some offer more than one engine, the Outlander a V6. Rogue and Outlander offer a small third-row seat.
The 2015 Honda CR-V LX ($23,320) comes standard with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, four-way adjustable front seats plus manual height adjustment for driver's seat, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with multi-function controls, power door locks, power windows, power mirrors, remote entry, 60/40-split folding rear seats, rearview camera, information display, a four-speaker 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with Pandora interface, auxiliary audio jack and USB port; Bluetooth phone and streaming Internet radio connectivity, SMS text messaging, conversation mirror, and 16-inch steel wheels.
CR-V LX AWD ($24,570) adds all-wheel drive. (All prices are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices, which do not include the $790 destination charge and may change at any time without notice.)
CR-V EX ($25,420) and CR-V EX AWD ($26,670) models add a power moonroof, 10-way power driver seat, heated front seats, LaneWatch, fog lights, rear privacy glass, LED running lamps, predictive rear camera, retractable/stowable cargo cover, 7-inch touch-screen six-speaker audio system, HondaLink, security system, smart entry/pushbutton start, body-color mirrors and door handles, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
CR-V EX-L ($28,020) and CR-V EX-L AWD ($29,270) further upgrade with leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever, seven-speaker 328-watt audio system with subwoofer, satellite radio capability, heated side mirrors, and roof rails. Navigation with voice-recognition, turn-by-turn directions and HD radio/traffic.
CR-V Touring ($31,520) and Touring AWD ($32,570) include everything from EX-L with navigation and add 18-inch alloy wheels, mirror turn signals, HID low beam headlights, HomeLink, driver memory seat, power tailgate, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning and collision mitigation braking.
Safety equipment includes frontal airbags, front seat side-impact airbags, full coverage side curtain airbags, electronic stability control, ABS, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and multi-angle rearview camera. Safety-related options include all-wheel drive, LaneWatch, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning and collision mitigation braking.
The 2015 CR-V grafts new nose and tail sections on the ends, the only changes betwixt them new wheels and paint colors. It still looks like a CR-V and a Honda, but removing badges would make some people have to think about it. The front fascia freshens its appearance. The rear fascia looks different than before, though whether it looks better we are not sure.
A narrow painted section bisects the front, the lower center fitted with a contrast-color insert like a bulldog's lower lip. The upper section replaces the old three-bar grille with a brawnier split-bar arrangement, giving an angrier look to the cute-ute face. Fog lamps are now rectangular elements, and headlights vary by trim with mid-level and up using LED position lights and the Touring getting HID low-beam projector headlights.
At the other end the black strip at window-bottom that gave the impression of tall glass has been swapped to a chrome swath that carries through the taillights. Along with rear bumper sculpting and high reflectors this makes the CR-V appear taller, the look more painted bodywork and less glass reminiscent of early BMW X5. The tailpipe isn't prominent as on some sporty crossovers, nor is it hidden beneath the bumper.
In profile the window line remains unchanged, the light scoop in the doors disappearing into minor hips around the rear wheels. The entire lower edge of the body all around, including the wheel openings, has dark plastic to fend off stone chips, and the rear bumper panel drops forward form the tail lights to near the top of the rear wheel which should save repairing more than one panel in corner scrapes. The tailgate lift is easy to find, low enough for kids to reach and the gate is powered on Touring. Most versions now have smart entry and pushbutton start so the key can stay in your pocket.
First and foremost the CR-V interior is about livability, from how simple it is to lower a rear seat to the speedometer back-seat drivers will read easily. Although upper trims get leather upholstery, steering wheel and shifter, armrests have sufficient padding and the cloth seats are temperature-resistant, you'll not find the luxury of a more expensive Audi Q3, BMW X3, Infiniti QX50 or Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. Minimal scuffing and easy-to-clean materials have their place, and this is it.
Appearance was never an issue but the 2015 CR-V does sport a lightly revised dash panel with a more linear look above the shifter abutment. Gauges are easy to read, climate controls logical in function and array, and the dual central screens work individually, the upper through steering wheel controls and the lower its own touch-screen. They were all easy to view, even with polarized sunglasses, but the small buttons on the nav system stymie on less-than-smooth roads.
The audio system suffers from small controls, also. The buttons to raise and lower volume are challenging to press when driving and inferior to a volume knob both in function and appearance. Pressing one of them also evokes an onscreen adjustment, which is no better. Muting the sound, for example, sometimes takes more than one attempt. Audio quality is relatively poor, even on the Touring model. Audiophiles will not be happy.
The center console has ceded some storage space in the name of vents, specifically air-conditioning vents for the rear seat, a trade-off we readily accept. The console offers big cupholders, key and phone spots, and a usable well under the armrest. Also welcome are sliding sun visors to keep out low-lying side-window sun for all but rearward-seated drivers.
Front seats have adequate room and comfort, the relatively flat cushion easing entry/egress while the contoured backrest keeps you in place. They're heated on all but LX. Door pockets are reasonably accommodating and will handle a super-size cup or 750 ml wine bottle but they aren't deep so top securely or corner slowly.
By strict measures most interior dimensions are within an inch of the competition, the rated 38 inches of front headroom (with moonroof) less than average but not an issue for our test dummies to 6-foot, 3 inches. We found the rear seat quite livable too, with a single-notch recline, center armrest and useful headrests.
Outward visibility is quite good with a tall windshield and reasonable windshield pillars. A rearview camera is standard and from CR-V EX up has predictive guidelines that show where the car will go based on where the steering wheel is turned. Also on the CR-V EX model is LaneWatch, a camera in the right-side mirror that displays an image on the dash screen or the area right and rear. It activates only with the right turn signal so you get no benefit if you're lazy, and it can be manually switched on, say to see if there is something in an intended lane change or parallel parking spot, and off, should you be waiting at a light and want to look at the navigation map, find a new tune or dial a number.
With rear seats folded or upright, cargo area matches that of the Nissan Rogue (which offers a small third-row seat) and is just slightly less than Toyota RAV4, but ahead of Chevrolet Equinox, Ford Escape, GMC Terrain and larger than a Jeep Cherokee by a mid-size sedan trunk. Dropping the rear seats is a one-tug affair and doesn't require removing headrests. It's a clever system that is all-mechanical, though it acts as if it's a power system. The resulting floor is a little higher than the trunk deck. The trunk has tie-down rings and a dedicated place to stow the cargo cover at the floor's back edge, out of the way but still in the car.
The Honda CR-V isn't about performance but it has nothing to be sorry for. In this cute-ute class filled with 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines, the CR-V offers very good power and is among the lightest. A Ford Escape or Subaru Forester turbo will be faster, but you'll pay extra to get it and more at the pump.
The 2015 CR-V engine is more sophisticated than the 2014 version, so it makes the same 185 horsepower but at lower revs. The new engine delivers 10-percent more torque, also at lower revs. It is just as smooth and refined as the old one, though in the absence of ambient noise it may sound louder at idle.
The continuously variable transmission is also new (like the engine, new to CR-V, not Honda). As the name implies it has no specific gears but varies the ratio as needed over a very broad range, making the engine produce only the power required. Drive off slowly and it runs barely above idle, but give it the boot to merge and it runs high up the rev band until you lift off the throttle. It lacks the feel of immediate response that a traditional automatic transmission offers. However, fuel economy is improved by four miles per gallon in the city and there isn't such a large disparity between city and highway consumption.
A semi-corona around the big speedometer varies blue to green as a subtle economy indicator. A sizable green ECON button switches operation to more fuel saving means, primarily in response to the gas pedal and air conditioning operation. It will still stay cool inside but power will feel dull; its biggest benefit will be to drivers with a heavy foot and/or jerky driving style and passengers will appreciate the smoother ride. As usual, your mileage will vary, driving style a much larger factor than the econ button.
Although the wheels are slightly wider and farther apart on the 2015 CR-V, most owners may not notice the subtle recalibration. The CR-V reacts to extreme inputs with a bit more precision and otherwise rides as comfortably as the 2014. It doesn't lean much when pushed hard and the electric steering assist and electronic stability control work together to keep it going where you point it even under heavy braking. Just remember to steer.
Even that gets some assistance on the Touring model, which adds lane departure warning (defeatable) and lane keeping assist (works from 45-90 mph) to help keep the CR-V in its lane if your brain wanders. The Touring model adds forward collision warning and collision-mitigation braking so if you fail to acknowledge the visual and audible warnings by changing course and/or applying the brake, the CR-V brakes automatically.
The Honda CR-V is an efficient, capable, safe compact crossover that carries five people and considerable cargo without complaint. Other cute-utes could be faster, offer more sport handling or third-row kid seat, and maybe match CR-V's economy, but few balance them all better.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

A superb doctor with exemplary service; friendly, personable, and approachable. I went to see him for a complete cardiac workup. He clearly explained everything to me in understandable language without "talking down" to me. At the end, he mailed me a complete copy of the typed report that he sent to my GP. Couldn't ask for better service.

One couldn't find a finer cardiologist. He discovered my medical problem after searching since the age of 13. He is always available and is very empathic and professional at the same time. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Copans and stay in San Diego because of my confidence in him. He is a man of great integrity.

Thought I'd look into the starting pitching as they start preparing for Bundy to get promoted. The Keys at this point need to cut bait and start over fresh for the second part of the season. Having two of the starters a combined (0-10) with a 6.39 ERA isn't going to help the cause. I'm hoping that when the lineup is adjusted, some of these guys are moved to the pen. This would allow Bundy to have his #1 spot, with another opening available for someone to win some games. What do you guys think?
Mike Wright: 7 starts (4-2), 3.35 ERA
Kyle Simon: 7 starts (0-6), 5.50 ERA
Scott Copeland: 7 starts (1-3), 5.91 ERA
Justin Moore: 5 starts (0-4), 7.62 ERA
Trent Howard: 1 start (0-0), 4.50 ERA
Combined 27 starts (5-15), 5.36 ERA

I used to study at City College of San Francisco. When I was in College, computers weren't that popular ( yet before the tech boom ) and studied Electrical Engineering. Then while transfering to 4 year University, I got lost in the job boom, quit the Uni and go to work. Now with the downturn in the tech sector, I'm studying (again) at De Anza College for Network Administration. Since Technology is my favorite thing, I like all of my classes. I studied LAN, WAN, Programming in C (Intro), Unix, TCP/IP, Data Communication, Disk drives management. This coming quarter, I will be taking C programming ( Intermediate ), Perl, Operating systems concepts and design and Windows 2000 technical support.
Schools are good ( that's if you have time and money to go to ). I never bore learning anything new. They all are interesting in their own ways and always challenge my knowledge.

It's the end of 1892. Benjamin Harrison is President, General Electric and Abercrombie and Fitch have just been established. The big story of the year was about a woman named Lizzie Borden who took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks (actually it was her stepmother but truth throws off the rhythm). Somewhere in America a woman sits down to relax (or tries to anyway as breathing while wearing a tight corset is not the most relaxing thing) and reads her latest copy of the magazine The Housewife. What will she discover as she opens to the first page?
"The housewife makes the home and the home makes the nation" is the subtitle to the magazine. I wonder if our 1892 housewife found that title as condescending as I do. She was not allowed to vote, but somehow spending two days doing laundry was nation building.
You don't find too much fiction in women's magazines anymore but it used to be hugely popular. There are four stories in the December issue. I decided to read Miss Larion's Tea-Party by Rose B. Kane. Miss Larion is "our little old maid" who works as a seamstress (I'm guessing this as the author never clearly defines the occupation) with three young women.
One of the women, Annie Deering is engaged and we are told that it is the fashion of the day to give cups and saucers as an engagement gift. Miss Larion who "was as much of a girl at heart, as any of them, despite her forty-seven years" invites the women over to her house on Christmas to see her collection of pretty china. The girls arrive and are astonished to see that Miss Larion has exquisite pieces of china displayed in a beautiful glass dresser.
"The pieces were gift to me, when I was a girl, and when" – and there was a queer little sob in Miss Larion's voice from the kitchen, "when I had plans like Annie's." The girls exchanged significant glances which meant, "Miss Larion had a romance after all." Miss Larion gives each girl a gift of the tea cup and saucer they drank their tea from and we learn that Miss Larion fiancée, Chester, had gone off to fight in the war (I'm assuming the Civil War) and he never returned and now she's an old maid of forty-seven, working as a seamstress and living on the top floor of a tenement building. Well, that was a happy story!
There are little nuggets of interest sprinkled throughout the magazine. "It is becoming quite the fashion for women to have a cup of tea, coffee or chocolate served in their rooms. As this is a feast partaken of solus, the equipments are aptly called "sulky sets," when a woman has one of her proverbial headaches they will be found very convenient." Such an interesting choice to put proverbial in front of headaches. What exactly are they saying?
Losing weight was important back then as well, but perhaps a bit harsher with an ad that reads: Fat Folks You can reduce your weight from 10 to 15lbs a month without injury, without starving, without anyone being the wiser…
Holiday Decorations gives some ideas on how to make your house festive for Christmas. "Of course the decoration of all decorations is a Christmas tree. But do get out of the old ruts in selecting materials for its ornamentation." The author, Katherine A. Johnson, suggests getting a large, symmetrical shaped tree and if possible to get one with the cones still on it. She then suggests leaving some cones natural while painting other cones gold, silver or bronze. I actually think that sounds lovely!
We have an artificial Christmas tree (I know lame but trees in New York City cost a fortune) so I'm curious if you can even find a tree that still has cones on it. Miss Johnson's next suggestion would not pass modern day fire safety standards – "have colored tapers in profusion." I wonder how many tree fires there were back then. Miss Johnson also offers her opinion on ornaments – "but do not, I beg of you, make it bend its graceful branches for very shame at the confused jumble of miscalled ornaments such as gaudy glass balls, Kriss Kringles and festoons of tinsel beads, cranberries and pop corn." It is nice of her to beg but I'll keep my gaudy glass balls, thank you very much!
Little nugget – "Fatigue is as dangerous to good looks as a scorching wind. Rest when you can."
In the Practical Dress column an article by Dinah Sturgis probably had our 1892 housewife up in arms: "That Bugaboo – Home Made Millinery". Miss Sturgis informs her reader that some women can make beautiful hats and bonnets while some women can't! "The woman who can make a bow is usually a clever milliner or can become one. The woman who can't and never could tie a bow – we all know her – will never make a milliner." Indeed, we all know one of those women that cannot tie a bow! Further reading reveals that American attitudes towards the French haven't changed much in 120 years.
"The French women who are gay, vivacious, piquant, airy, fairy sort of beings by nature are the milliners of creation, because their fingers have the knack of putting the idea that animate them into try-on-a-ble forms. French hats and bonnets are like the French people, not especially stable but very effective." Oh, snap!
Little nugget – "Do not load your rooms with a quantity of cheap trifles that are only an annoyance, under the impression that they add to its elegance. Two or three articles, tastefully disposed, will do more to render your room truly artistic than all the wealth of Aladdin's Cave used in lavish profusion that maybe distinctly termed vulgar." You know, I agree.
Frances (no mention of a last name) informs our 1892 housewife in her column Two Fine Baths that taking an "unction bath" will help her weather the winter. "Either coconut oil or good cotton-seed oil is to be used, and well rubbed in by smooth, strong strokes of the hand … the oil not only softens the skin and nourishes the system, but is a great preventive of colds and their disagreeable consequences."  Frances goes on to say "Last winter I took an unction bath each morning and drove or rode horseback every afternoon, the thermometer often down to six degrees above zero.  Not only I never once felt any inconvenience from the severity of the weather, but I did not have a single cold during those four months." Thanks for the tip, Frances.
Little nugget – "Another special reason for using lamps and candles instead of gas or electric lights is the fact that they can be placed anywhere and everywhere. As some clever woman discovered long ago that light which struck from a level decreased wrinkles and blemishes, thus making the guests in her parlor look younger and better than elsewhere."
In the Mother's column, Dr. Frank has an article guaranteed to terrify any mother concerning the eating habits of her child. "And really the custom of allowing children to leave home in the morning with a mere snack is one of the worst that parents can indulge in, for it is sure to, sooner or later, undermine the constitution." Dr. Frank then writes about a problem that still exists today "Instead of being in bed "Until the last moment," then bolt their breakfast at the table or perhaps take it with them to eat it as they are rushing away to escape being tardy, they should be up in time to eat heartily and leisurely, and as leisurely make their way to school."
Other eating advice from Dr. Frank is "They must be given enough to keep them well supplied with structure –building and force-producing materials, and they must not eat too heartily, for were they to do so more or less brain torpor must result and linger for several hours at least; moreover, the system might be seriously deranged in consequence." There is nothing worse than a deranged system! "And it is a fixed fact that, take two children alike physically and mentally, feed one judiciously and allow the other "anything and everything," and the first may be a brilliant scholar, while the other must be a dullard compared to him." I can just picture our housewife having just read that line and worrying and feeling guilty about having her child turn out a dullard.
The Housewife is no different from any December publication you may purchase today – it provides a Christmas menu including a few recipes to pull it off. Here is Eunice Carew's 1892 Christmas Dinner Menu, the layout of the menu below matches the magazines layout. I can't for the life of me figure out why it is laid out like it is but it is:
Roasted Kid                            Bread Stuffing
Cranberry Sauce       Boiled Chestnuts
Roasted Goose            Potato Stuffing
Apple Sauce                Celery
Mashed Potatoes                     Creamed Onions
Red Cabbage Stewed
Venison Pastry            Currant Jelly
Stewed Pumpkin
Guinea Pot-Pie Grape Jelly
Browned Turnips
English Plum Pudding   Brandy Sauce
Florendines                              Plum Tarts
Charlotte Russe
Fruits   Nuts    Raisins
There is a recipe for the roasted kid. The first line reads "A kid should be cooked the day it is killed, and should be three or four months old and still sucking." Poor little kid!  I wish they had provided the Creamed Onion recipe but alas they did not  include it.
There is a recipe for a dish called Welch Cheese Cakes – check back tomorrow for the recipe and the review! And while you're at it – try an unction bath, don't allow your children to be dullards and rest while you can!
