Discussing GI issues isn't the best ice breaker but sometimes you can get people to laugh about it. "Don't you miss bread?" or "Oh my god, you're Italian, what about pasta?" People are funny, especially when ignorance is their best friend. I'm a post-grad therapist trying to understand what it means to be human. I'm also a newly diagnosed celiac and struggling to understand the "nature of the beast" when it comes to this disease.

photoshop, right?
If you're referring to the titles, yes, Photoshop.
Beerman, your teasing me man. None of your videos work!
They all bring up this little picture of a film thing with the quicktime icon in half, it says its now able to find it some crap like that....
Does your editing program let you put watermark things on a set of frames, or do you have to export them to stills and add the text in?
The only GUI editing program I have is windows movie maker, which sucks, so I've been playing with using AviSynth scripts and VirtualDub, and TMpegEnc to encode, but I think I need to find a simpler solution sometime.
And do you know of a somewhat simple way to export to stills and then back into a video clip from within a program? Like to run a Photoshop action on the frames.
EDIT: I liked the video, that looks like a really cool park to ride.
Why would you want to export to stills and then import back in? But, yes, I'm pretty sure that Premeire lets you do watermarks.
To run a Photoshop action on the frames, like to correct for a color cast or adjust curves/sharpness/saturation/etc. Or for another effect even.
BMX For Life
Why the hell would you want to do that frame by frame? That would take forever. I don't usually mess too much with color correction and whatnot, but I can do all of that from Premiere.Originally Posted by MadMan2k
I haven't used Premiere, so I don't know if the adjustments it has would work for what I'm thinking of or not. But an automated action shouldn't take more than a couple seconds per frame at most.
Considering the fact that that video had 4000 or so frames in it, if I remember correctly, and only, what, twenty or thirty clips? That's a lot of time to be wasted.Originally Posted by MadMan2k

When He Cheats: Don't Bother Trying to Find Out What The Other Woman Looks Like
August 18, 2010 by Jimmy Shilaho
Published in Relationships
Women try as much as possible to find out what the other woman looks like, some worry about it all night long while others when cheated upon try to scratch the other woman's face or scald it in a bid to stop their man's cheating. Wrong, cheating has very little to do with looks. Men may be attracted or distracted by very many other factors other than looks.
When women become victims of cheating, the first thing they think of is getting to know what the other woman looks like. Many have been in this position before and even wondered what their hubby or boyfriend saw in the other woman. Well, looks have very little to do with cheating.
Angelina Jolie looks can not prevent your man from cheating on you
A man will cheat on you whether you have Angelina Jolie looks or not, a man will still cheat on you whether you look like a hot model or not, simply because looks are not everything. Your looks may determine the number of dates you get, your looks may determine your attraction of a man but when it comes to keeping a man, holding onto him or having a lasting relationship, looks come a cropper.
Do not scratch her face or pour hot water on her for your man will love her even more
When he cheats on you, don't bother looking for the other woman, don't bother attempting to scratch her face or pour hot water on her face thinking it is what stole your man away from you. First, this reaction may earn you a jail sentence. Second, your man may actually love her even more when she is scalded as a result of your actions!
Support your man and invite the other woman to share your man!
Instead of fighting for the good for nothing man, simply support your man's decision to cheat, admit that you haven't been very good to him and deserved to be cheated on. Invite the other woman into sharing your man. In the few cases I have known in which the victim did this, guilt ended the cheating and brought the estranged partners together.
Women love the idea of hurting each other and knowing it
Reacting violently only helps to fuel the relationship for women love the idea of hurting each other, they like the idea of not only having succeeded in getting another woman's husband or boyfriend but also fueling anger and hatred that boils down to unnecessary cat fights! Prevent this by acting maturely.
Ignore them as much as you can
The least you should do is ignore them. Yes, you heard me, the least you should do is to ignore the love birds, but at least make sure they know that you know but seem not to care. The guilt of being ignored may actually make them taunt you even more, but it may also make them realize that it won't work!
Looks are not everything
While it is important for a woman not to neglect her looks, looking your best alone, remaining beautiful all the time may not guarantee you a happy relationship. Get to know things that appeal to your loved one, get to know what holds the two of you together, and work on those and don't bank on your hot looks. The other woman may have the appearance of your inner sole but……

Our (Surprise) Unassisted Homebirth
Kieran woke up just in time to see me push. He ran over to rub my head and say "You can do this, mama!"
There was no time for a birth pool, no time for our midwife to arrive, no time for pictures. Only time for me to reach down and feel life becoming.
Exactly 2.5 hours after the first contraction woke me up, I said "Get ready to catch, here it comes!" And our Ailia Genevieve was born into Papa's waiting hands at 4:15a.m.
And now we give thanks. For falling in love. For family hugs that include a fourth.
(This last minute post is part of Let's Take the Metro's Gratitude Challenge. But instead of listing 100 things I am grateful for, I'm sharing a 100 word version of our precipitous birth story. Ailia Genevieve was born early this Thanksgiving morning – November 24, 2011. Welcome to the world, little girl!)

The question made Matt Cooke smile nervously.
"I don't want to spark something out East," he said with a laugh.
It's something few players or coaches are interested in discussing. And it's certainly not something a player like Cooke, who spent the past five seasons playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference, wants to get into.
But as teams from the NHL's two conferences play each other regularly for the first time since the 2011-12 season, it has become clear: The Western Conference is far and away the better conference.
The question Cooke didn't want to answer: Why?
In head-to-head match-ups this season, Western Conference teams have posted a 73-29-11 record against teams from the East entering Tuesday night's games.
Four of the Wild's next five games are against Eastern Conference teams, starting Wednesday with the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Xcel Energy Center.
"I don't know if there's any one thing to point out," said Wild forward Zach Parise, who played his first seven seasons with New Jersey in the East. "There are a lot of good teams in the West this year. A lot of good teams. You hate to say there are more (good) teams in the West. You don't want to say that, but there's no way around it."
Eastern Conference teams boast some of the NHL's biggest stars: Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Alex Ovechkin among them. But Western Conference teams, top to bottom, would seem to have more talent and depth.
Of the top seven teams in 5-on-5 goal differential, a leading indicator for success, six -- including the Wild -- are in the Western Conference.
"It's not even close," said Jeff O'Neill, who played 11 seasons in the Eastern Conference and is now an analyst for TSN in Canada. "I look at the Western Conference and see five, six, even seven teams that could win the Stanley Cup. In the Eastern Conference, I think there are two."
The difference in talent hasn't helped the Wild this season. Minnesota is 10-4-4 -- 5-2-2 against teams from the West and 5-2-2 against teams from the East. One of those regulation losses was against Toronto in a game in which the Wild outplayed and outshot the Maple Leafs on the road.
Dating back to the 1999-2000 season, the earliest NHL.com lists the statistic, no conference has dominated the way the West has this season.
The West has won 64 percent of inter-conference games against the East -- significantly ahead of the most one-sided season over the past 13 years, when the West won 58 percent of such games in 1999-2000.
"There's totally more depth in the West," ESPN analyst and former NHL head coach Barry Melrose said. "The stars are in the East. But look at Chicago ... they've got six or seven great players. Look at Colorado ... six or seven great players. Same with St. Louis and Anaheim. It's a much deeper conference.
"In the East, most teams have one good line. In the West, teams have two lines that absolutely fly. I think the West just got ahead of the curve."
Most Wild players didn't know the West's record was so impressive this season.
"I couldn't even tell you," Nate Prosser said, trying to come up with an explanation for the West's success. "That's bizarre. I didn't know it was like that."
Only four Eastern Conference teams have records better than .500 against the West.
In typical coach speak, the Wild's Mike Yeo didn't want to look too much into the difference in styles. After Wednesday's game against Toronto, his team plays host to Florida and at Montreal and Ottawa in its next five games.
"I just know we can't get caught up in that," he said. "We've got some Eastern Conference teams coming in here that are going to be playing very desperate hockey, and we just have to be ready to play our best."

The guitar player (name withheld) ended up going home with an extremely horny pregnant girl who was just in the bar looking for some action. He got to the clothes-on-the-floor stage but was foiled when the girl had an attack of morning sickness and threw up during the oral part.
The bass player, Dave, was invited to go to a South American girl's house and assist with her Brazilian waxing as she needed it for her bikini shoot the next day. Attempts to contact him over the next two days were fruitless.

Friday night we watched a remake of Black Orpheus, set in the slums of present-day Rio. Hitting two swapmeets on Saturday, we scored four new superhero costumes for the next Science Holiday Mystery Pageant. That evening we motored up to Hollywood for a theme party based on Fellini's La Dolce Vita. Sunday was mostly dedicated to reading (The New York Times and the new Highsmith biography), though we did leave the house briefly to nab a half flat of strawberries. The very last of the season.—Science Holiday Museum of Fun
My five-year-old, with his summer-time five-inch Mohawk appropriately fire engine red, and his eight-year-old brother sporting a similar coif complete with orange tips, proceeded to rape and pillage throughout the Orange County FairFriday. Luckily for me, they took no prisoners. The Orange County music scene exhibit was the absolute highlight. The guys were enamored with the extensive collection of items from Social Distortion together with a number of their guitars. Toward the end of the exhibit, bass and electric guitars are set up for the public to belt out their best. A sweet 80-year-old man asked if he could snap the five-year-old pounding on a bass as tall as he was, and Quinn quickly gave his best Sid Vicious face. We fought back girls shouting, "We love your hair!" or "You guys are so cute!" all day. The best was the mad-dogging 12-year-old with his mere three-inch hawk. Sucker.

AUSTIN, TX—Friday night around 7:30, I got a call from my friend Mel. She said that her friend Kiki was running a free Shiner Bockpromotion at Club 710 on Red River. Would I like to come? Everyone would be there. Sure, I said. So I picked her up a couple hours later, we went downtown, and we parked in the secure police parking lot, because she is a forensic scientist and has parking privileges. We went to 710, but she didn't want to pay the cover. A quick call to Kiki, and we found out that he was having hamburgers at Casino El Caminowith his friend Drunk Mike. We met them there, and had a drink while they ate their burgers and watched some British art-porn movie on the balcony TV. Then we went to 710. The bands were all pretty bad unmelodic guitar-based Southern rock. Headlining was Dixie Witch, if that gives you any idea. Kiki hit on a woman with many piercings. Drunk Mike said that sometimes Kiki gets mad and hits things. We talked about bars we'd gotten thrown out of in the past. Around 1:30, we went home.—Neal Pollack Mmm, putrescent three-day flu sweat! email@example.com.

Essentially the Red Bull drivers have changed position for P3 in the WDC table.
This gives an impression of the raw data that go into the analysis. I basically gather odds from a UK, German and Spanish site and average them out.
And this is how they are rated by the punters and bookies: Alonso's odds are better than his result and he goes from P5 to P3. He basically switches places with Webber. Webber looses heavily with his shunt in Valencia. Vettel can narrow the gap to Hamilton.
The WCC table is represented slightly different from drivers because we have less teams than drivers. The last result appears on the bottom of each column. The table sees very little change. McLaren and Red Bull increase their lead on Ferrari and Mercedes. Renault, Force India, Williams and Sauber make good progress with the European race. Sauber hauls a very nice load for the Kobayashi drive.
This graph is a bit special. I have not simply used the team odds. I want to create a yardstick to show how the different cars are rated by the punters versus the respective WCC leader. So the team odds are divided by the odds of the leading team. In the relative car odds McLaren still lead the way followed by Red Bull and Ferrari on a distant third place with 5,56. Mercedes is now out of the picture because their odds simply are too bad.
The last graph is showing the personal WDC odds of a driver weighted by the car odds. This race there is little change. Vettel closes down on Hamilton but Alonso still punches above his weight. He may look good because his team mate it not pulling his weight as the Red Bull and McLaren drivers do.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Reducing Tennessee's obesity rate will be the focus of the Governor's Health and Wellness Task Force.
Gov. Bill Haslam noted in a news release Thursday that more than 1.5 million adults -- or one in three Tennesseans -- are obese.
Haslam said the state must encourage more healthy behavior and improve access to healthy foods and places to exercise.
The governor formed the 16-member task force in October. It is chaired by John Lacey, the University of Tennessee's chief medical officer.
The task force will work with organizations like the Y, the state's coordinated school health program, the Tennessee Obesity Task Force and local health officials and businesses.

Studying for the LSAT / Re: happiest day of my life!« on: March 28, 2007, 06:40:47 PM »
This response goes out to both you and the person who posted the 149 thing. As you may or may not know...and I'm guessing you don't, I didn't study for the LSAT. That is why I got a 149. I'm taking it again in June, and after only about 2..maybe 2 and a half weeks of prep, I'm already scoring from 160-164 on practice tests. I didn't take the LSAT 5 times like some people who I guess were using the "blind squirrel finds the acorn" approach.
lolIf I don't get into any of the schools I applied to, then yeah, I'll go ahead and retake the LSAT. I just think it's a shame, because I don't really believe the LSAT tests anything at all.
You're silly.
I don't believe it tests anything at all. Nothing of value, anyway, only the ability to take that test. I never denied that and I'm not doing it now. But if you take it 5 times....and presumably you study for it every time, it says a hell of a lot if you can only go up 4 points from your first time to your fourth or fifth time. At some point, it becomes a matter of learning from your mistakes, and that's not a really convincing case of somebody doing it. That does speak to somebody's intelligence.

There's strength in numbers, an old saying goes and while this is true in real life it goes double on the Internet where the ability to connect with others is made so much easier by technology. And while the endorsement of a single person that we look up to might carry a lot of weight in our psyche we are designed to acknowledge the power of group decision-making. The latest Whiteboard Friday by SEOMoz's own Rand Fishkin addresses this exact issue: the power of social proof and when social proof works best.
Rand argues that social proof works best when highly targeted towards a group that we identify with. A general statement along the lines of ' x many people use this product' is a lot less effective than highly targeted statements or statements associated with people that we know. Seeing that a product is used by two or three or your peers is a lot more effective that knowing that a hundred strangers use it. This of course can be reduced to the aforementioned example of a single person who's opinions we hold in high regard but the most interesting aspect, and the one that should be targeted by any search engine optimization agency lie at the other end of the scale: the large numbers.
The social proof by proximity argument works best in the case of specific products or situations. You might eat at a restaurant because a friend recommended or you might go see a movie because your friends are raving over it but what about the case of an unfamiliar situation? What do you do if you want to go to Sri Lanka but you don't have anybody in your social proximity that has ever been there? Or you want to see an indie movie that none of your friends have seen? Why, you turn to the Internet of course and immediately reach for a social aggregator like tripadvisor.com or Metacritic and while you may delve into individual reviews, the general result can often serve as enough of a factor to make a decision. In many cities and countries, for instance, restaurants, hotels and even some cultural venues proudly display their Tripadvisor rating on the door like they once donned travel guide reviews. A review aggregate is, for better or worse, a business' quantifiable reputation.
This should be prime material for anybody in the field of optimization. Now, you of course can't falsify aggregators by spamming rave reviews for your client as not only is this against the TOS of most aggregator sites but also quite hard to achieve and very 'black hat'. But you can instead offer incentives for any type of review or encourage your client's customers to 'like' their various social profiles. You are likely doing this already for small customers that are mostly found through Google local but in this age of contextual search you'll be surprised to see just how much impact aggregated reviews can have on results pages.
Aggregators today are pretty basic but as technology evolves and the web becomes more and more contextual perhaps we'll see personal aggregates tailor-made based on an individual's profile. That will likely be the day that the social proof offered by a Results Page will become more accurate than that of your close friends. Until then, we have Yelp.

|Evaluation of normal and large sphygmomanometer cuffs using the Omron 705CP.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11317193 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Sphygmomanometers are usually sold with a single cuff though some are supplied with a short cuff as standard and offer a longer one for larger arms. However, data on the differences in measurements taken with different cuffs applied to different sized arms are conflicting and this study set out to investigate the difference between those taken with 'normal' and 'large' cuffs in arms 28 cm or more in circumference. We avoided observer error by using a semi-automatic digital sphygmomanometer, the Omron 705CP. The 22 subjects employed were selected from one general practice as having a range of previous office blood pressures and a variety of arm sizes above 28 cm in circumference. Omron 'normal' and 'large' cuffs were used alternately, taking five blood pressures with each to a total of 30 readings per patient, resulting in 660 readings, 330 with each cuff. There were mean systolic/diastolic differences of 2.7/3.8 (s.d.s 4.7/2.8) for all subjects. These were greater in the normotensive. When divided into two groups with systolic blood pressures below and equal to or above 140 mm Hg, differences were -1.9/3.0 to 7.1/4.7. From the results of the study, we recommend that large cuffs should be used for all patients with an arm circumference of 28 cm or above but the Omron large cuff still requires formal validation.

Increasing participation through money in politics
Spencer Overton, law professor at George Washington University Law School and Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy at the US Department of Justice has written an article for the Georgetown Law Review called "The Participation Interest," which takes a closer look at money in politics and participation.
The Supreme Court has recently struck down provisions that have capped donations to "independent" groups, or allowed for additional funds to opponents of well-funded candidates. Overton notes that over 80% of political spending comes from those in the top 11% of income earners in the country. What happens if systems can be put in place to expand participation and get more people to contribute to political campaigns?
Overton discusses the background on the Supreme Court overturning campaign finance law (including in Citizens United) and in the process narrowed the definition of "corruption," which campaign finance laws have historically sought to prevent. Overton then talks about the importance of participation, and how the realm of "participation" can and should extend beyond voting:
The state has an interest in promoting political participation among citizens that differs from the state's interest in preventing corruption. Participation exposes the electorate to a variety of ideas and viewpoints, furthers self-government, and enhances the legitimacy of government decisions. Unlike anticorruption efforts, focusing on participation acknowledges that money can be a tool for meaningful engagement, that money can serve as a gateway to other forms of participation, and that only a narrow slice of the population finances politics.
In the article, Overton also collects some of the (Constitutional) proposals for federal, state, and local levels that can help increase participation, which include but are not limited to tax credits, small donor matching funds, and relaxed restrictions on PACs and parties that solicit money from small donors.
By expanding participation beyond voting, and encouraging more people to buy-in (with their wallets), via political donations, Overton argues, we can have more accountable legislators since their votes will not be tied to large donors, and a more engaged population more willing to be involved with and reactive towards their representatives' decision-making.
What do you think? Read the full article at the Georgetown Law Review.

Man killed by his own truck in Kern County oilfield
TAFT, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — A man was fatally injured by his pickup Friday on a Chevron oil lease in rural western Kern County.
The man parked his Ford F-250 on an inclined dirt road in the area of Midoil and Midway roads, according to the California Highway Patrol. The truck started to roll backward and struck and dragged the man.
The man was transported to Kern Medical Center via air ambulance. He was pronounced dead at KMC, the CHP said.
The man's name was withheld pending the notification to next of kin.

These days, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner are way over hanging out with their fam in Calabasas. Instead, they're shmoozing and cheers-ing with various high fashion figures, frequently leaving Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie and Kris in the dust. A tad dramatic? Perhaps. But warranted? Oh, definitely.
At last night's Vogue Foundation Gala during the Paris couture shows, Balmain's creative director Olivier Rousteing rolled up with a whole crew of his loyal cronies, including, obviously, Kardashian and Jenner. Both wearing looks from his Fall 2014 collection, the half-sisters looked good—really good—despite the fact that it didn't look like they were actually having much fun. This sort of thing is just all in a day's work, right? I guess that explains the pouts.

the facility directory, or to family members or other people involved in your
care, to law enforcement officials or correctional institutions that have you in

purpose of the disclosure. Your request can ask for disclosures made as far back
as six years before the request, but cannot ask for disclosures made before
April 14, 2003. We will notify you of the cost involved, if any charges are
going to be made to you, so that you can choose to withdraw your request before

communications, call our Privacy Office at (304) 364-1143.

You may sign a written authorization requesting that we disclose your health information to someone else. If you later decide that you want to cancel your authorization, you should tell us in writing that you want to revoke the authorization.

we will inform the funeral director who is handling the body, so that
precautions may be taken to avoid the spread of the disease.
We will
disclose health information necessary to carry out organ or tissue donation.
We will follow federal and state laws that require us to contact an organ

candidate for organ or tissue donation.
We may
disclose health information for certain types of research.
We may disclose health information to a researcher, whose project has met

considered the patient's need for privacy, as long as the information will be
protected and will not be used for any other purpose.

True Value Hardware, located at 4751 Missouri Flat Road in Placerville, won't just sell you a table saw. It will plug it in, fire it up and make sure it works before you ever think about taking it home.
Because for the local business that's been around for 32 years, it's not just about selling a product. It's about taking care of the customer.
"We go beyond," said president Dave Gutierrez. "We try to have extreme customer service."
The hardware store sells the products you'd expect, from power equipment for home and lawn improvement to a wide variety of nuts and bolts. But it does so much more than that, according to Gutierrez, also offering services like a rental yard for heavy machinery like an excavator or John Deere tractors, and a repair shop for machinery maintenance.
"We excel as a hardware store," Gutierrez said. "We are a Stihl dealer, a John Deere dealer, we do Echo (equipment). We do four-hour, 24-hour and week rentals. We have any piece of equipment to get any job done."
The store's wide variety of products and services are essential in a county like El Dorado, where home improvement is a mainstay for many local residents.
"Things have really tightened up since the economy slowed down," Gutierrez said. "There are no more contractors around; people are doing it themselves. It's mostly homeowners doing the work. We try to keep new equipment so it doesn't break down. It's a big concentration of ours that it doesn't break down. There's nothing worse than renting a piece of equipment that doesn't work."
Even the products the store sells are focused around being fully functional before a purchase is made.
"We just carry quality stuff," Gutierrez said. "We don't like selling items that people are going to return in months. When somebody buys a product here, we start it up and make sure it's running perfectly, so when they take it home it's all ready to run. When you buy something in a box, half the time it doesn't run. Half the time it needs an adjustment."
Flexibility is also a quality the store claims do well with.
"We go one step farther than the normal to make sure people find what they need," Gutierrez said. "If we don't have it, we'll try to order it for them. If we don't have it, and we get two calls for an item we feel we should have, we will order it and try to get it in stock."
While the Christmas season may help some stores boom, though, True Value Hardware typically waits until spring for its highest selling season.
"Our Christmas time is spring," Gutierrez said. "People are buying power equipment and power supplies. We try to have everything, to be a one-stop shop hardware."
The store's repair shop helps the business grow every year. With full-time local mechanics on staff, True Value Hardware gets a lot of business from customers looking to have items fixed.
"We've been doing small engine repair and tractor repair for 32 years," Gutierrez said. "The only problem is we get very backed up in spring, sometimes up to five weeks. We only have so many mechanics."
Demand in the spring season for repair on lawnmowers, garden tractors and other equipment for outdoor improvement keeps the business overwhelmed with requests.
The biggest stamp of success the store experienced came when True Value Hardware in Placerville remodeled its store in May 2009. Changing the layout of the store with the Destination True Value concept brought in new business and kept old business coming back.
"We have been in double digits every month since then," Gutierrez said. "We've shown increases since the remodel. It's a real appealing layout in the store. People seem to like it. Our customer count has increased continually since then, as have sales."
With a new layout, several features from parts to equipment and service, the store aims to continue its success into 2012 with a smile.
"We do it with exceptional customer service," Gutierrez said. "We have knowledgeable sales people that have been here for years. They can help with any problem (customers) have."

Touring w/Navigation and Rear Entertainment
4dr SUV
(3.5L V6 4x4 5-speed Automatic)
Same issue here. 2012.
Very disappointed and honda is not doing anything about it.
I have a 2012 bought in 11/2011 and be careful.
I now have the vibration in Eco mode that another review mentions on this forum.
So disappointed as I wanted to keep this car long term.
I have 26,500 miles and it has been going on for a few thousand miles.
Called American honda and the dealer said they cannot feel it.
It does not make my wheel shake but you can feel the vibrations in the wheel and center console.
It is not normal.
So sad.
If calling honda does nothing I will happily continue to share my thoughts.
I really think they are not nearly as good as honda once was.
I can relate. I have bought 4 Honda's in my lifetime, including the 2013 Pilot touring 4wd.
Only some minor issues thus far, but for sure the dealerships and Honda corporate are always trying to downplay the problems or consider them "normal". Honda has lost me for life.
My other complaints are related to the ergonomics of the vehicle.
1) Can't load MP3 or WMA files on the hard drive. CD songs only.
2) Navigation doesn't show as much info as even a $80 GPS and you have to pay $150 for map updates.
3) No always on compass. The only compass is the navigation and it only points toward the north. Doesn't show you what direction you are heading.
4)Climate controls are ridiculous and hard to find/use (especially when driving).
5) Top of the line touring model still makes you pay extra for roof cross bars and wheel well fenders.
6) VCM vibration (is it that hard to put an extra gear in the transmission?).
There should be some way to disable the VCM.
7) Seats are relatively hard. Should be some more cushioning.
