Climate Change Threatens Asia-Pacific
Hanoi, Jul 17 (Prensa Latina) With a typhoon on the doorstep, a report by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) was published here today that climate change could undermine the Asia-Pacific development.
The ADB warned that by the end of the century the average temperature of the region will increase by six degrees Celcius and up to eight in some Asian countries, while more violent tornados and hurricanes, prolonged periods of rain or drought and other extreme weather events will occur.
He recalled that the low and coastal areas in Asia-Pacific will face great risks of floods: 19 of the 25 cities most affected in the world by the rise in one centimeter of the level of the sea are of this region. According to the bank, the atmospheric variation will destabilize the ocean ecosystem with consequent damage to the health of the population, production and economy of Asia Pacific countries. Last year the ADB approved a record funding of $ 3.7 billion to respond to climate change and with the same purpose committed itself to increase that capital to six billion.
According to NASA measurements, the US space agency, Southeast Asia is one of the regions where climate change is most perceived, along with West Africa, the Arabian peninsula and the Amazon Basin.

Two arrested over terror plot after police raid mosques
COPS have arrested two people after raiding mosques in a bid to thwart a potential terrorist attack.

The people were arrested in Berlin today after several places of worship were raided, Der Bild newspaper reports.
The arrests come less than two weeks after ISIS gunmen and bombers slaughtered 130 people in Paris.
The men, aged 28 and 46, were arrested at a mosque in Sophie-Charlotte Street in the German capital.
Commando units swooped today, making the arrests to stop a planned attack, a police spokesman said.

A second mosque in a different district of the city was also searched, it is reported.
Several houses were evacuated, with residents led to safety by police, while a suspicious object was found in a vehicle connected to one of the suspects.
The area around the car was cordoned off.
It is thought that the unsuccessful raid on the Seituna mosque was to search for the two men arrested elsewhere.
Local radio reports that police were also searching for explosives.
Officers swooped at about 3.30pm, using explosive detection dogs and a special SWAT team.
Europe has been on high alert since the attacks in Paris on Friday the 13th, with subsequent raids and shoot-outs killing ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud.
Two attackers, including Belgian Salah Abdeslam, are still at large.
An international football clash between Germany and the Netherlands was cancelled after authorities learned of a possible attack on the stadium in Hannover involving explosives smuggled in via an ambulance.

PCAH Announces the Haiti Cultural Recovery Project
The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) and the Smithsonian Institution with the government of Haiti has announced the Smithsonian Haiti Cultural Recovery project.
"This project is a great example of the President's Committee's ability to catalyze important projects in the arts and humanities," said Executive Director Rachel Goslins. "We were honored to be approached by the Smithsonian to partner in this project, and to engage the First Lady, three major federal agencies – the NEA, NEH and IMLS – and the private sector, all coming together to support the Smithsonian's Haiti Cultural Recovery Project. Because of everyone's efforts, we were able get it underway in record time, which was essential given the fast-approaching rainy season. The resulting inter-agency effort is one of which we are all very proud, as well as grateful to the Broadway League and Broadway community for their generous support at a crucial juncture."
The Smithsonian is leading a team of cultural organizations to help the Haitian government assess, recover and restore Haiti's cultural materials damaged by the devastating January 12th earthquake. A building in Port-au-Prince that once housed the United Nations Development Programme will be leased by the Smithsonian. The 7,500-square-foot, three-story building will serve as a temporary conservation site where objects retrieved from the rubble can be assessed, conserved and stored. It will also be the training center for Haitians who will be taking over this conservation effort in the future.
Haiti's Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Haitian President's Commission for Reconstruction will lead the effort for Haiti.
The "Smithsonian Institution–Haiti Cultural Recovery Project" is conducted in partnership with the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities with assistance from several other federal agencies—the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The project is also supported by contributions from The Broadway League, the international trade association for Broadway and the Broadway community.
The U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield, a nonprofit, non-governmental organization dedicated to the protection of cultural property affected by conflict or natural disasters, is involved in the project as is the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works. Local Haitian cultural organizations and a number of international organizations will also be involved in the effort.
The rainy season in Haiti has already begun, and the hurricane season is on its way. Much of Haiti's endangered cultural heritage is in destroyed buildings and is at risk of permanent destruction.
"The highest priority of the Haitian government and the international humanitarian communities has rightly been to save lives and provide food, water, medical care and shelter," said Richard Kurin, Under Secretary for History, Art and Culture at the Smithsonian. "However, Haiti's rich culture, which goes back five centuries, is also in danger and we have the expertise to help preserve that heritage." The long-term goal, according to Kurin, is to "rescue, recover and help restore Haitian art work, artifacts and archives damaged by the earthquake." Last week, six engineers from the Smithsonian and a conservator from the Smithsonian American Art Museum spent four days in Port-au-Prince checking the leased building that will be used for conservation in the coming months. Conservators from the American Institute for Conservation and the president of the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield joined them.
The artifacts recovered and eventually conserved may include building features such as stained glass and historic murals, paper documents, photographs, artifacts and some of the 9,000 paintings from the Nader Museum, now in ruins from the quake.
"With this unprecedented inter-agency effort involving the major federal cultural institutions and the private sector, we express our collective belief that in times of great tragedy it is essential to help a country preserve and protect its cultural legacy for future generations," said Rachel Goslins, Executive Director of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.
In 2004, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival, under the direction of Kurin, highlighted the country in the program Haiti: Freedom and Creativity from the Mountains to the Sea, which featured more than 100 traditional Haitian artists and crafts people, performers, cooks, writers, researchers and cultural experts in performances, demonstrations, workshops and concerts. That collaboration with Haitian cultural leaders resulted in an ongoing relationship with the Smithsonian.

- Artist: Beth Lodge-Rigal
- Genre: Folk
- Release Date: 2/13/2001
With the debut of her first full-length CD, Follow Me, (1997) Beth Lodge-Rigal emerged on the contemporary folk scene, an engaging new voice and an exceptional songwriter. Hailing from Bloomington, Indiana, home of such notables as Carrie Newcomer, Grey Larsen, Malcolm Dalglish and a host of other folk, alternative, and world music illuminaries, in a few short years, Beth has become a part of this community of artists and enjoys the benefits of collaboration with some of the best. Her songwriting has earned her honors as a Kerrville NewFolk Finalist (1997) and a winner at the Napa Valley Music Festival Emerging Songwriter Competition (1997). Beth writes lean, poetic tunes which are consistently insightful, honest and thought-provoking. Her songs tug at the deeper corners of the heart with grace and simplicity. Her voice is an arresting, textural alto. Her guitar work is rock- solid. She is the sort of songwriter who gets under your skin and sticks with you. Beth's song 'Family History' has been described by Bloomington Voice writer Eric Sedden as 'a lens through which we may view many of her other songs.' It is a tune which recalls her experiences on an old family farm in Ohio 'where Grandma's cornflowers and Queen-Anne's lace/line a gravel one-track path/through the fields of yellow grain'. It is the story of the generations of farmers who built and lived upon the land, and of the continuity of experience a place can provide. Whether she is writing about the drunken neighborhood housewife in 'When I Was A Girl', or the on-going bitter-sweet conflict between men and women in 'High Wire', Beth captures the essence of a moment, a scene, an emotion, to produce music which reaches straight to the heart. Her songs 'bump up against one another... expanding on issues of time, aging, relationship, and boundaries.' Growing up in Columbus, Ohio in the 60's and 70's, Beth comes from a musical family where Gregorian Chant, top 40 radio, Broadway Musicals, Folk, and Classical music provided the background for most of her early life. Raised also on earlier generations of singer-songwriters: Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Carol King, and many others, Beth gained an early appreciation of the art of putting words and music together, and began writing poetry and songs as a girl. Beth began performing in the late eighties in Western Massachusetts where she also worked in innovative human service programs. She performed on the radio and in concert with other east-coast 'emerging artists' of the time: Brooks Williams, Dana Robinson, and has since had the honor of opening up for Jorma Kaukonan, Richie Havens, Gillian Welch, Carrie Newcomer, and Bill Morrissey and Greg Brown. She took time off to focus on raising two daughters. Fortunately, Beth continued writing and she's come back to play for a growing number of fans who treasure her work, and her down-to-earth style as a performer. Her newest release, 'Dreamtable' represents a leap both in songwriting content and scope and in Beth's role as co-producer of the project. She teamed up with David Weber, of Airtime Studios in Bloomington to create a stunning recording of human and heartfelt songs. Some tunes are stripped down to simple vocal, guitar and bass, and other tunes, pull in lush instrumentation and layered vocals. 'Dreamtable' is awash in the pop, rock, jazz, country, and even classical influences of Lodge-Rigal's life. These are grown-up songs about growing up, cleaning up, facing the darker parts of ourselves, our relationships, and our world . They are delivered with honesty and a big heart and invite the listener to take a walk in the world where dreaming and waking intersect, and where everyone is searching for what's most important.

transient or steady
Hi all
I am doing simulation on the air flow distribution in the building. I wan to ask should I use steady or transient to run the simulation. thanks
Do you expect there to be flow to exhibit transient features? i.e. macroscopic changes in flow behaviour in time? If so then do transient.
If you only care about steady state flow behavior then do steady. If you don't know what you're doing, also do steady.
A steady simulation is always a good start... once it has converged, one can decide wether to go transient, fix boundary conditions etc

THINX wins Most Contagious 2015 Startup Award
Period pants startup THINX took home the Most Contagious 2015 Small But Perfectly Formed Startup Award, sponsored by Essence, at Most Contagious in London on Wednesday
The brand's clever reimagining of feminine hygiene products and purposeful stance on womens' education impressed the judges. Nick Parish, Contagious' editorial director, Americas, and Paul Kemp-Robertson, founder of Contagious presented the award. Kemp-Robertson outlined how THINX were chosen for not only creating a product which brought innovation to a category which had seen no new developments for decades, but which also had the potential to positively impact millions of women.
THINX underwear has four layers of fabric on the crotch that work to absorb blood, fight bacteria and keep women feeling dry during their period. The underwear is made at a family-run factory that is committed to providing supplementary education and training to its female employees, empowering them to become leaders in their communities.
Founder Miki Agrawal collected the award in front of a sold-out auditorium at Kings Place. She said afterwards: 'We have a lot of work ahead of us. There is a real gender-equality problem on our hands. Tackling that through creating a category disrupting product is a great start.'
THINX beat stiff competition from other startups, including FoPo, OneDrop, Blaze, what3words, Dolfi and Nebia. Each member of this prestigious shortlist pitched on stage in the Small But Perfectly Formed sections of the event.
Matt Isaacs, founder of Essence, the award sponsor, helped to present THINX with the award, and said: 'Most Contagious is unique in featuring the most innovative ideas and impactful marketing on the planet, be it from a multi-billion dollar brand or a microscopic start-up. It's one of the few events on the calendar that leaves you with a headful of ideas and a determination to do better.'

The Arizona Fall League ended last weekend with the Phoenix Desert Dogs defeating the Scottsdale Scorpions to win the league championship, putting the final cap on the prospect season. Since 1992, major league clubs have used the AFL as a showplace for their best prospects. High-profile graduates include Nomar Garciaparra, Mike Piazza, Todd Helton, Albert Pujols, and Hank Blalock.
Of course, you also have your Brent Billingsleys and Rikkert Faneyetes. But the league is usually a good cross-section of the best prospects in the game, particularly on the hitting side. Many teams have been reluctant to send their best pitching prospects in recent years, for fear of overworking them. But for one-stop prospect shopping, you can't beat the AFL, and there still were some very good arms in the league this year, particularly in the bullpen.
Let's take a look at the 2004 Arizona Fall League, focusing on nine prospects who have a chance to make an impact in The Show sometime in '05. Note that this is not a "Best Prospect" list. The best overall prospect in the league was probably Tampa Bay phenom Delmon Young, but he is unlikely to see major league action next season. What I'm trying to do here is pick out guys who could make noise in The Show in '05, either to start the season or toward the end.
In no particular order:
Huston Street, RHP, Athletics
A supplemental first-round pick this year from the University of Texas, Street blew away the AFL, posting a 0.98 ERA, seven saves, and a 19/2 K/BB ratio in 18 innings, with only 11 hits allowed. Pushing his fastball to 93-94 mph, Street has shown better velocity as a pro than he did as a Longhorn. His slider looks sharper, too, and he's maintained his trademark excellent command and control. A good spring training performance could land Street a job in the Oakland bullpen sooner than people expected when he was drafted last June. He also has the hard-nosed, confident attitude (good "game face" as scouts say) that teams like to see in their relievers psychologically.
Mark Teahen, 3B, Royals
Acquired from Oakland in the three-way Carlos Beltran trade last summer, Teahen went to the AFL looking to boost his power production. He ended up hitting .385 with a .453 OBP and a .541 SLG, although he hit just two homers. He doesn't have the pure home run power you expect from a muscled 6-foot-3, 210 pounder, but Teahen provides solid line-drive hitting with good defense at third base. Some believe he'll need additional Triple-A seasoning, but a good spring training could get him the starting third base job in April especially considering that his Kansas City competition is recent free agent signee Chris Truby.
Jason Bartlett, SS, Twins
With Cristian Guzman taking a four-year contract with the Washington Nationals, Jason Bartlett becomes the leading contender for the shortstop job in Minnesota. He hit .397 in 17 games for the Grand Canyon Rafters, also stealing six bases and posting a .507 SLG. While Bartlett is not as flashy as Guzman defensively, he is very reliable and should be more consistent. He should hit for average and provide a somewhat higher on-base percentage than Guzman. Bartlett will not be a star, but should be a solid contributor. If he does as expected, the Twins won't miss Guzman much.
Jesse Crain, RHP, Twins
The Twins probably sent the best group of prospects to the AFL this year, at least in terms of being close to major league-ready. Jesse Crain is well-positioned to take a critical role in the Minnesota bullpen this year. In Arizona, he posted a 2.08 ERA in 11 games, with a 14/4 K/BB ratio in 13 innings. He combines an above-average fastball with an excellent slider, and usually throws strikes. He'll back up Joe Nathan in middle relief this year, and is a candidate to close games in a year or two.
J.D. Durbin, RHP, Twins
J.D. Durbin is more erratic than Crain, but his stuff may be even better. He posted a 4.56 ERA in six starts for Grand Canyon, but fanned 29 in 26 innings and wowed scouts by hitting 100 mph in a late October start. He usually works 3-4 mph below that, but it was still a notable accomplishment, especially considering he had labrum surgery in May. He also has an excellent breaking ball, but his changeup remains mediocre, and he may end up being a reliever rather than a starter if it doesn't improve. He could contribute now in the bullpen, but if the Twins keep him as a starter, he will probably spend a year in Triple-A, honing the changeup.
David Aardsma, RHP, Giants
Like Crain and Durbin, David Aardsma could contribute early in 2005 in a relief role. In Arizona, the former first-round pick posted a 2.93 ERA for the Grand Canyon Rafters, fanning 17 in 15 innings. His command can waiver (he walked nine), but no one questions his stuff, including a 95-mph fastball and nasty knucklecurve. His control and changeup have not been as good in pro ball as they were for Rice University, but he remains one of the top relief prospects in the game. A good spring training performance would earn him a bullpen role in San Francisco. Like Crain, he projects as a closer down the road.
Brad Baker, RHP, Padres
Compared to high-profile relief prospects like Aardsma and Crain, Baker is rather anonymous. But his bullpen numbers for the Peoria Javelinas speak for themselves: 1.64 ERA, three saves, 14/3 K/BB in 11 innings. A supplemental first-round pick by the Red Sox back in 1999, Baker's reputation as a future starting pitcher faded as he lost velocity. Traded to the Padres in 2002, he's rebuilt his career in the bullpen, bumping his fastball back into the lower 90s, while sharpening his curveball and changeup. Racking up 46 saves over the last two years in the minors, he is a darkhorse candidate for a San Diego bullpen job.
Shin-Soo Choo, OF, Mariners
From South Korea, Choo has made steady progress through Seattle's farm system. He will probably begin 2005 in Triple-A, and be a candidate for a mid-season callup as the Mariners sort through their outfield. In Arizona, Choo hit .301 with a .422 OBP and a .466 SLG. He's not a big power guy, but he has good pop to the gaps and will take a walk. He faces a lot of competition in the Mariners outfield, and will be ready for action before the contracts of Raul Ibanez, Randy Winn and Ichiro Suzuki expire. This could make Choo valuable trade bait if the Mariners contend, or the beneficiary of a trade if they don't contend and manage to deal a veteran.
Rickie Weeks, 2B, Brewers
Here are some gaudy numbers for you: .382 average, .520 OBP, .737 SLG in 22 games for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Add six steals and improved defense at second base, and Rickie Weeks has helped erase doubts raised by his rather mediocre season in Double-A this year. His work ethic and intellect for the game are exceptional, and combine with his undoubted physical tools to make a complete package. Coming from a small college program, Weeks still has a few more things to learn than a lot of guys coming out of big baseball schools, but a strong spring training could push him past Keith Ginter and Junior Spivey, especially if the perennially rebuilding Brewers make a youth push.
OTHERS TO WATCH: Ryan Howard, 1B, Phillies; Chris Shelton, DH, Tigers; Curtis Granderson, OF, Tigers; Ryan Garko, 1B-C, Indians; Francisco Rosario, RHP, Blue Jays; Freddy Sanchez, INF, Pirates.

Going into December, the Lake is a little over 8ft below high pool and unless we get a substantial amount of rain it looks like we'll be fishing these low water conditions. The low level makes for great fishing. You just need to make sure you know what areas you can run and the areas you can't. If you're not sure slow down. One of the great things about living in the south and especially here on Toledo Bend is that we get to fish year round and we catch a lot of fish in December. The average high temp is 59 degrees. The average low temp is 38 degrees. The highest recorded temp was 84 degrees and the lowest was 5 degrees. The average precipitation is 4.2 inches. Typically when you think of fishing on Toledo Bend in December you think of fishing for our world famous Crappie that will bunch up over natural or man made brush tops along the old river channel shelf and ledges. Toledo Bend has a creel limit of fifty per person with some running over three pounds. It's no wonder why thousands of people venture here from all over the country to enjoy our winter Crappie season. Many experts and numerous fishing publications have rated Toledo Bend one of the best, if not the best, Crappie impoundments in the country. If you like to fish for White bass (Sandies), December is a great month to load up the freezer with some ferocious feeding fish. The Whites will be heading north and congregating on the north end main lake river channel sand bars. In fact, December can be as good or better than the river run in early spring and it will definitely be less boat traffic. Slab spoons and tail spinners will do the trick. Your electronics are the key to locating your fish. When the water temperature starts dropping below 50 degrees the bass's metabolism starts to slow down conserving energy. Bass will become less active immobilizing themselves in deep water where the temperature variances remain fairly stable. In general, the most productive lures for fishing this time of year are the jig and pig, soft plastics, large deep diving crank baits and spoons. Jigs in black/blue, brown/amber and camo are usually good choices. Craw-worms in reds, greens and pumpkin are effective and deep diving crank baits (DD 22s, Mud Bugs) in shad and crawfish colors work well. A ½ to ¾ oz jigging spoon vertically fished over deep- water humps will also trigger some bites.
Water Temp: 60

Alex Rose Wig Company
Animals O Kay
A Malibu bad girl is sent to a British boarding school to reform her rebellious ways. Sixteen-year-old Poppy is a self-obsessed, incorrigible brat who lives a pampered life in her L.A. world. Though she's handed credit cards with unlimited balances and surrounded by countless hangers on, Poppy can't escape the mounting frustration she feels with her family situation. And she makes sure that everyone knows it. After an over-the-top prank pushes her father one step too far, Poppy is shipped off to an English boarding school. Finding herself in a foreign world of early curfews, stern matrons and mandatory lacrosse, the American princess has finally met her match: a school of British girls who won't tolerate her spoiled ways. Under the watchful eye of the school's headmistress and surrounded by a new circle of friends, Poppy begrudgingly realizes her bad-girl behavior will only get her so far. But just because she must grow into a fine young lady doesn't mean this Wild Child won't be spending every waking hour shaking up a very proper system...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — Both the Rickey Smiley Morning Show and the Tom Joyner Morning Show were broadcasting live from the BJCC on Friday, getting fans ready for the Magic City Classic.
CBS42 spoke to some tailgaters gearing up for the big match-up between Alabama State and Alabama A&M, they say the weekend is much more than a game, it's more of a family reunion.
"You can't but help to come out to the Magic City Classic, you think you're missing something if you don't come, if you don't come you're going to be on the internet or calling what happened who was there so it's just magic about the Magic City Classic," said Freddie Jones.
Tailgaters also say the food is just as important as everything else during Classic Weekend.
"You'll have you some ribs, you'll have you some pork, even I go on back down with it, I might have me some pig feet and pig ears," said Gary Birdsone.
There are some new policy changes this year at Legion Field, the most important is a clear bag policy. For more on what you are allowed to bring into the game and everything else you need to know for the Magic City Classic click here.

Subaru Legacy/Outback Wagons Maintenance & Repair
My wife's 2002 Legacy L has a taller final drive ratio, but she manages 25 mpg on average. She doesn't accelerate hard but she does go fast on the highway, about 70 or so.
My 99 GT consistently gets 26 on the highway.
The old 96 Outback got 24. The new 03 Outback gets 20 - 22.
I drive at 80, and rarely use CC.
toboggan Posts: 283In the 5+ years of owning a '98 OBW Ltd. 5 spd (~62,000 miles, use synthetic oil in engine, gearbox & diffs), I've never gotten over 24mpg. And on the less crowded freeways the CC is used. Last Sunday I drove 150 miles with a right rear cross wind (heading south). Using CC. Blizzaks for tires and a ski pod on top. No hard acceleration, just cruising at 75MPH. Got 22.3mpg
Maybe try running about 55mph???? No way!
I read an SAE paper this week that discussed EPA testing procedures. While they do their testing on a dyno under static (wind-off) conditions, aerodynamic drag *is* factored into the test. What they do is to take aerodynamic data supplied by the manufacturer (usually from CFD or a wind tunnel) and use it to calculate and generate an equivalent load on the dyno. So aerodynamic drag actually does get taken into account. For many years, I have been under the impression that it wasn't.
fitzy2 Posts: 11What is the expected city and highway MPG for a 2002 LL Bean.
Thanks Folks. irish
I get 22mpg in everyday mixed driving, and normally get 24-28 on long trips.

nickimom Posts: 11I own a '96 Subaru Legacy Outback, and my husband tapped an '04 Camry from behind so lightly that the Camry didn't know it was tapped. However, both airbags deployed, with the passenger side airbag exploding thru the front windshield. Is this normal?
jfl Posts: 1,385Routine mix of city & hiway gives 24mpg very consistently. An all freeway drive raises it to ~29mpg.
subaru_team Posts: 1,676based on the "g-forces" created with the hit. Also, the passenger side airbag is designed to deploy upwards towards the glass. This is actually the preferred design. The impact of the bag is absorbed by the glass vs. the occupant.
I hope everyone is okay@
I had heard that the airbags in the earlier model outbacks were touchy due to the size of the front bumper cover, and the location of the sensors. I know someone who set hers off pulling into a parking lot and bumping a snowbank. I hope your husband is ok. Rob M.
K9Leader Posts: 1122000 OBW Ltd. (H4) with AT - overall average of the past year's driving is 19.7 MPG, mostly around town but some long highway. Best was 25.7. Typical around town is in the mid-17 to low-19 range and highway is in the mid-24 to mid-25 range.
This is a fairly heavy car -- 3600 lbs, IIRC. The AWD adds some weight, but amazingly little for what it does and compared to "real" 4WD -- it's about 150 lbs, IIRC. It is not the most fuel efficient commuter car available, but a better choice than all the gargantuan SUVs out there.
The reality is that until the perceived costs (not just dollars, but all the costs) become greater than our collective willingness to pay those costs for the benefits we perceive we are getting, fuel mileage in general is not going to improve. While I would like to see the federal CAFE standards increase, I know that the laws of Economics (and human nature) make it unlikely. If gasoline does hit $3/gallon this summer, all my neighbors with Suburbans, Expeditions, Durangos and Hummers better not complain within my earshot.
blackbean Posts: 1002002 LL Bean - I average 24 MPG in mixed driving.
The best I have gotten was 27 MPG on a long trip, no roof racks, summer tires, no rain, no wind etc... and CC set on 68 mph.
jay_24 Posts: 536I average about 27 in the summer and 23 in the winter. 21mpg was the worst and 28.5 the best.
Longer warm-up time a winter blend gas seem to hurt the mpg a fair amount. I'm not one to let the car warm up much at all. 30sec. or so and I'm moving. 1 mile of city streets (25-30mph) and then interstate... Seems I can almost watch the gas gauge go down when the engine is cold.
Keep in mind some Armada owners are reporting 8 mpg. A friend's Navigator averages 9 mpg. Even Edmunds' long-term Tribute got something like 14-16mpg.
Those numbers aren't necessarily bad.
fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,777'02 OBW auto w/21k miles. I record the odo reading on each gas receipt (OCD Engineer type...). I run a pretty consistent 23 mpg in mostly hilly rural / suburban driving. Not wonderful, but about what I expected when I bought this car. AWD and weight are going to cost you something.
But lets face facts. Even if fuel prices were to double, the financial break even point in selling a car and buying a more fuel efficient one is way out there due to a big hit in depreciation. Sell a 2 year old car and buy a new one and you are out $5k or more. That would buy a lot of gasoline.... A gas shortage might be another situation. In 1979 I parked my Mercury Montego and bought a Ford Fiesta just as a matter of survival.
mwatc Posts: 4I posted this same message else where sorry to the repeat readers.
I just bought a used 03 legacy SE ( the same one with leather interior I asked about earlier for 17,000$ maybe coulda gotten a better deal but was tired of hagling and well the wife really liked it so what the hell )
any how what can I do to maximize my usage? synthetic OIL?? the car has now approx 9000 mi. also what is the break in period I keep reading about? finally any tips from owners so i can keep it as long as possible. I want to drive her until she won't go any further.
Basically, follow the recommended maintenance routines. Regular washing helps. I have had no major problems with the current and prior Subarus that I have owned.
Someone else can chime in with synthetic oil I have never used, or considered until recently.
stever Posts: 52,683Why bother? It's not an F-18.
I love the oil wars :-)
Engine Oil - A slippery subject Part 2
Synthetic motor oil
I don't dump my oil out every 3,000 miles either but follow the factory recommendation for normal service. And I drive them forever. Or try too :-)
Steve, Host
I had the rear brakes repaired 2000 miles ago and the front 200(pads replaced&rotors machined). Last week the brake light went on-I took it to Subaru last Tuesday where the work was done and they said the gasket was not sealed properly activating the sensor in the brake fluid reservoir, though the brake fluid level was O.K. I went away on Wednesday(not by car) returning yesterday,today the brake light went off again and upon checking the fluid level I noticed it was about 3/4 down. I went and added brake fluid and will monitor the fluid level, but I am wondering what it could be now and how much it may cost, whether the original diagnosis was correct etc. I am due to leave again on business later in the week and somehow will have to find the time to take my '96 OBW in again, but I am getting skeptical about them finding the problem. It seems to me that if my rear brake pads needed to be replaced 1800 miles before the front than the situation in the front should have been noticed the first time around. Now I fear they are just looking for the first obvious cause and not looking beyond that. What could be causing such a pronounced fluid loss?
Congrats, Matt. It's already broken in. If you want to go with synthetic go ahead now.
The system should be sealed air tight. Does the pedal feel spongy?
I'd let them look at it again, you can't take chances with your brakes. Any leak and you'd potentially lose all stopping power.
I get what Steve gets - ~23mpg in the same hilly area. Collegue at work has a Durango. Last week I asked him what he gets and his response was "oh, about 17mpg on the highway". I laughed and said my Sienna gets that on a really bad day in the city.
The front passenger and back door locks do not unlock all the time when I unlock the driver side door from the outside with the key. Also when I use the inside lever on the drivers' side door to unlock the other doors it too only functions periodically. What could be causing this? It works sometimes and sometimes not.
As per the brake situation,I am taking the car in tomorrow first thing in the morning.
I found that the Subaru fobs aren't always responsive. I.e. you need to be close to the car for them to work the first time. I am sure you know that you press it once to open the driver's door and twice to open all doors. Why it doesn't work from the door button, I don't know. Have the dealer look at it when you bring the car in for brakes.
glenford Posts: 138try this (don't have my owners manual handy) either turn the key in the driver's door to unlock, then do it again, or, turn the key to unlock and hold it for a few seconds
One of those works on my Honda, the other on the Subaru. It's a function to keep the passenger doors locked when you're alone.
pathtomax Posts: 215I had part of the same issue on my 01 Outback. I thought it was problems with my security system but it turns out that they driver-side locking switch is faulty. They currently have one on order for me. I can not lock the doors at all from the driver's side.
Have them take a look at the switch itself..that is my problem.
paisan Posts: 21,181The module under the driver's door locks/windows. We actually modify this module as part of our Stage 2 security systems.
michaelpsu Posts: 24After I week of driving somewhat 'sanely,' I did get decent figures. I was traveling for work last week...almost 300 miles on two lane highways and I didn't go much over 65. Managed to get just shy of 26...which isn't too bad. I guess when you start running 75-80 on four lane highways...it really takes a hit. I guess it is worth it though for what the car has to offer. A coworker has an new F250 SuperDuty with a diesel and he gets close to 20 overall. That makes me jealous...but hey...I can deal with it!
sabast1 Posts: 1Just yesterday (Sunday), on my way from Baltimore to NY, my 2002 Outback (31,000 miles) over heated on the NJ Turnpike. Fortunately, I was able to get off the road and into a rest stop. I took advantage of the Subaru Roadside Assistance Program. I was very impressed. They had me towed from the Turnpike to a hotel (since no dealerships are open on Sundays after 6:00p.m.) and then towed me from the hotel to the nearest dealer this morning.
I had the car towed to Somerset Subaru in New Brunswick, NJ. I can't say enough about how great the people there were. They were honest, fair, and were able to diagnose & fix my car about 2 hours...without an appointment (obviously). I highly recommend them.
They had to replace the radiator and the thermostat. A radiator shouldn't be going bad in a car that's only got 31,000 miles...should it...? I was wondering if anyone else had this same type of problem
Thanks everyone for the advice I will have the door lock looked at this morning as well. As per the brakes it may be my imagination and but it seems to me that when I first enter the auto the brake pedal goes further down when depressed and as I drive and pump the brakes it seems to travel less.

Band 3 Observations
This is the top right panel of the PIT, when "Band 3" is selected from the "Observations / Band 3 / Targets" options shown below the panel. The Proposal Class must be set to Queue, and Consider for Band 3 should be set to Yes, in the Scheduling Section. A video tutorial is also available for this section.
Band 3 Observations:
Unless your program absolutely needs the very best observing conditions that Mauna Kea or Cerro Pachon has to offer, relaxing your
cloud cover,
image quality,
sky brightness,
water vapor or
elevation or airmass
requirements can greatly increase the chances of the program's getting data; see the Advice for Band 3 web page.
All proposals that wish to be considered for Band 3 must fill out this section. Programs are placed in Band 3 only if they cannot be allocated time in Bands 1 or 2.
Enter the observations that can be done in Band 3 in this panel. If you already have target/observations defined in the "Observations" section, you can copy/paste (using the "Edit" menu) the observations from there to the "Band 3" section. Then update the observing conditions and time per target as needed. If the program is allocated time in Band 3, then only the observations defined in this tab will appear in the Phase 2.
More information on creating and grouping observations is available on the
Observations web page.

What kind of wheels does Nissan Micra Active come with?
By: Prananjay on 5 march 2015
3 Answers:
The Nissan Micra Active hatchback features different types of wheels for its different trims. Its wheel arches are exquisitely designed under which the basic steel wheel rims provided by the company fit perfectly. Its base-level and mid-level trims are equipped with 13" steel wheels that have tyres of size 155/80 R13 fitted over them; and the top-of-the-line variant is gifted with 14" steel wheels and 165/70 R15 sized tubeless radial tyres.
Tanisha 2015-03-05
The wheel arches of Nissan Micra Active features a strong set of 15 inch steel wheels, which are further equipped with wheel caps. It features alloy wheels with a wheel size of 14 x 5.5J and these perform all kind of roads including muddy, rough, smooth and rocky. The wheel arches have been designed with exclusivity to meet the expectations of the buyers. The good quality tyres enable it to perform exquisitely no matter where it is driven and what are the conditions of the roads.
Vidyadhar 2015-03-13
Nissan has included 3-inch tubeless radial tyre in the base model of Micra Active whereas in higher variants (Active XVS) you will get 14 inch radial wheels along with wheel cap. The wheels are strong enough and meant for rough, bumpy Indian roads. In Addition, the turning radius or wheel base is just 4.65 metres that makes city rides a pleasant experience. Turning and parking the car in narrow roads won't be a an issue.

WATCH: 'When men were men' - Former opponent recalls time he was punched by Roy Keane
A former opponent of Roy Keane has shared the moment he was punched in the head by the Corkman to criticise the current state of football.
Former Middlesbrough striker Jan Aage Fjortoft took to Twitter yesterday to share a memory of when he was hot by the Republic of Ireland assistant boss during a Premier League game in October 1995.
Roy Keane punches me at Old Trafford.— Jan Aage Fjortoft (@JanAageFjortoft) September 5, 2016
The days when men were men and so on https://t.co/8BDVpDLSlR
Fjortoft was praised on social media for not rolling around on the floor to get the Irishman dismissed and replied to one Twitter user by writing: "and in the week Boro and myself wrote a letter to the FA to reduce his suspension..."
It would be rare to see anything like that nowadays.

Wife and I just ran across this place while out driving. It looks fantastic, but some older reviews on the Boards (circa 2002, 2003) express a lot of disappointment about the food.
Six years is a long time. Has anyone been recently? We could use some help deciding whether this is a place to spend of our precious babysitter nights (other options are Blackfish, Marigold Kitchen, maybe Tinto if we're pretending the economic crisis is over).

Edward Davey's response to Ofgem's 'countdown to a simpler, clearer, fairer energy market'
- From:
- Department of Energy & Climate Change and The Rt Hon Edward Davey
- Part of:
- Energy industry and infrastructure licensing and regulation
- Published:
- 21 February 2013
This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
"Government stands firmly behind Ofgem's retail market reforms and we are keen for Ofgem to press ahead with implementing these as soon as possible."
Secretary of State Edward Davey said:
"Government stands firmly behind Ofgem's retail market reforms and we are keen for Ofgem to press ahead with implementing these as soon as possible.
"For too long, consumers have felt the brunt of rising energy bills, and we know that people are really feeling the squeeze in managing their household budgets.
"That is why this Government is determined to do everything it can to help consumers get a better deal on their energy bills including taking powers through the Energy Bill to support Ofgem's proposals.
"These reforms will put the consumer firmly back in the driving seat with customers automatically placed on the lowest variable rate tariff unless they choose otherwise.
"Suppliers will be required to limit the number of tariffs they offer to 4, and to automatically move millions of customers on poor value 'dead' tariffs to the cheapest standard variable tariff for them.
"Clearer information and advice will have to be displayed on bills so that consumers can easily compare prices between suppliers in order to switch to a better deal.
"The plans set out today will mean that all households can get the best deal for their gas or electricity no later than the summer of 2014.
"This all comes on top of the action we are already taking to help people worried by rising energy costs.
"We have made it easier for people to club together through collective switching or purchasing to get a better deal on their energy.
"Help has been made available to support the most vulnerable households, with over 1 million pensioners getting £130 off their fuel bills this winter as part of the Warm Home Discount scheme, with the wider scheme helping around 2m households.
"We are boosting the energy efficiency of our buildings through the Green Deal, so that homes and businesses are better insulated and don't waste as much energy.
"And in the long term, we are reducing our reliance on expensive gas imports, by incentivising investment in a new generation of clean home-grown power, which will help us to keep the lights on and ensure bills are affordable."

text: Hi! I'm new to these forums as a poster, but have often come here to learn new things or solve questions. But Now I have one that I cannot seem to find the answer to! A few months ago, I rooted my phone and upgraded it to 2.1. There were many bugs with this release (the most annoying is the one where the alarm clock can't be shut off unless one resets the phone!), but overall I was very pleased. Of course, I read that it would be my responsibility to update my phone manually, which I was fine with. Now that the official OTA update has come out, I can't seem to find any information on how I am supposed to update manually. Some places I read have even said that people who installed 2.1 before the OTA will never be able to able to update their phone. Of course, 2.1v3 was recently leaked (I hear it is practically no different than the OTA), but another update is looming. The way I had understood it, I would be able to downgrade and "unroot" my phone at any time, essentially restoring it back to factory condition and allowing me to receive OTA updates. Now, it seems this is not the case? If someone would be so kind to help me understand what my options are, why they are my options, I'd be very much obliged. I'm not going to whine about not being able to receive OTA updates from "big red" or anything, I just want to have a clear understanding of what joining the "underground society of leak users" means to me. Thanks a lot everyone! You've helped me many times before, hopefully there's an answer to some of my questions this time too!

Toyota has started production at its plant in Derbyshire of the first full hybrid vehicle to be made in Europe.
The first Toyota Auris Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) vehicle was driven off the end of the production line at the Burnaston plant.
Business Secretary Vince Cable officially launched the production of the hybrid car - a combination of a traditional petrol engine and an electric motor.
The Burnaston factory will assemble the car, while the petrol engines will be manufactured at Deeside in North Wales.
Mr Cable said: "Toyota's decision to make Burnaston the only plant in the world to build the Hybrid Auris is a strong endorsement of the UK as a manufacturing base for the next generation of cars.
"It is sending a signal to manufacturers that if you're not in the UK, then you're missing out on all the strengths and skills that the UK has to offer."
Toyota's Motor Europe president Didier Leroy said: "The UK has proved to be a valuable business partner. Building on almost 20 years of manufacturing experience, Toyota's team members continue to deliver the quality, efficiency and flexibility needed to meet the exacting standards of our customers in Europe.
"A new chapter is opening today as Britain, a traditional origin of industrial innovation, becomes home to the manufacture of the first full hybrid vehicle for Europe."

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A large number of Ohio high school students are at risk of not graduating next year, because of new requirements. School superintendents from across the state were in Columbus this week to discuss the issue.
Nearly 30-percent of high school juniors in the state are not on track to graduate next year and those numbers are even higher for some Montgomery County schools.
"Our goal is to graduate our students on time, with their peers," Mad Rivers Local School Superintendent Chad Wyen said.
Wyen was among the four thousands educators in Columbus expressing concern about the new state graduation requirements.
"Right now in Mad River Local Schools we have 38 percent of our juniors currently that will not graduate on time with the rest of their peers, so we're looking at going from an 82-85 percent graduation rate annually to a 62 percent graduation rate and it's not just mad river. It's all the districts in not only Montgomery County, it's in the state of Ohio," Wyen said.
Wyen said superintendents across the state were pushing for more flexibility with the new system by way of lowering the number of points required for graduation from 18-point to a more obtainable number like 15 or 16 on end-of-year-course exams. The new state exams are reportedly more demanding than the old Ohio graduation test. He said this adjustment would allow more students to graduate on time.
"Not only does it affect us, it affects the state overall too and it's really going to look bad for the state of Ohio if changes aren't made," Wyen said.
In Montgomery County alone seven school districts estimate one-third or more of their current juniors are at risk of not graduating next year. Dayton Public School is at the top with 65-percent, followed by Jefferson Township 56-percent, Huber Heights 52-percent, Northridge 51-percent and Trotwood Madison 47-percent.
"And that's not fair to our students. You know they're kind of victims of random acts of legislation and policy and that often happens in the state and it's concerning because a lot of times we don't have input as local districts to control that and you know then our students suffer and really it's not fair to our students," Wyen said.
The new requirements go into effect for the 2017-2018 school year, so it will not impact this year's graduating class.
