Jaguars are cool. Jaguars are awesome. Jaguars are the best.
Anytime you attach those three descriptions to the British automaker, chances are, you're going to have a lot of people agreeing with you. That includes German tuner, Loder1899, who not only loves Jaguars, but loves them enough to give one of the brand's models - the XF V6 Diesel - a comprehensive aerodynamic and performance upgrade.
The trick to appreciating Loder1899's program is to look at the details. The things you'll notice are the new components, including the front apron, the boot lid spoiler and the carbon-fiber diffuser. Looks great, right?
But once you really take a closer look at the car, you'll also notice that a lot of its components have been blacked-out, particularly the grille, the headlights, the hood vents, front intakes, side mirrors, side vents, the taillights and even the Jaguar badges. What all this blacked-out goodness does is turn the XF into a wicked saloon that oozes of attitude. Rounding out the exterior modifications is a new set of 21-inch wheels wrapped in 255 tires.
Under its hood, the XF V6 Diesel also gets the benefit of having a remapped ECU unit that increases its output from the standard 275 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque to an impressive 310 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque, good enough to allow the car to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 6.2 seconds, 0.2 seconds faster than the standard model with a top speed of 155 mph.
Click past the jump to read about the Jaguar XF Diesel
Jaguar XF V6 Diesel
As the top-of-the-line trim for the diesel variants of the Jaguar XF, the V-6 Diesel takes the full reigns of the luxury sedan's upmarket appeal with a powertrain that carries its own weight around.
The XF certainly looks the part of a refreshed model with a revised front and rear end styling inspired by the XJ sedan. It's not the Jaguar of old, fellas. The new XF is a car for today and the future, a testament to the new styling direction the British automaker has given to these big cats.

o_o Annie…wow. That is a beautiful thing to behold, my inner OCD is squeaking in delight! :) Also, I could never sustain something that long, so good on you!

Seeing Digger on my dash this morning was bittersweet, bitter because it's finished, and sweet because I tead it for a very long time.
It also led to me remembering that it's ten years since I could first afford the internet at home, and that shortly after I had my very own internet connection, I discovered web comics. I don't remember exactly how I discovered their existence, but I do remember Queen of Wands started it all off, followed very very shortly by Something Positive, which I'm still reading today.
I've managed to keep my bookmarks going for all that time.
The problem with keeping bookmarks going that long is I am horrendously bad at housekeeping. I've tried a few times to move webcomics that have vanished/finished to the bottom of the list, or ones I have several bookmarks for because I was catching up or because they're favourite strips. At one point I even tried splitting the bookmarks into two, and (horror) even deleted a few finished strips, some of which ended up going back on when I realised I wanted to read them all over again.
What I've ended up with is two different sets of comic bookmarks, partially ordered, spanning the entire ten years. Some of the links on those lists don't go anywhere now, which is sad, because they're usually the comics I was really hoping would come back after a hiatus. So the bookmarks are a complete mess, partially ordered in places, and possibly only useable by myself, but I know where my favourites are, and it's kind of comforting to see all that history there.
So this is what ten years of webcomics looks like in bookmark form, if you're me.

The guy drove down the road around the corner from my house; a big gobbler was crossing in front of an occupied home. Easing to a stop, he reached for his shotgun and shot the gobbler. The property owner, who was standing on his porch watching the turkeys make their daily trek across the road to roost, couldn't believe what he'd just witnessed. As soon as the shooter saw the property owner headed his way, he hurriedly sped away, leaving the gobbler dying in the ditch.
Where do you start the litany of violations this criminal committed? Turkey season was closed, the thug shot from across a public road onto property that was private and legally posted. Failing to retrieve a wounded game animal, even if shot illegally, adds "wanton waste of game" to the list.
To my knowledge, the shooter was never apprehended and probably bragged to his buddies about what he'd gotten away with. Did it bother his conscience? I doubt it because outlaws who do this view the illegal taking of wild game for profit or thrill care nothing about hunting season dates, legal shooting hours, bag limits and such. Do you think it bothers the conscience of a robber who sticks a gun in the face of a convenience store clerk and makes off with the day's receipts? Not likely at all.
The criminal who poaches wild game is in the same class as the convenience store robber. Both take property that belongs to someone else. In the case of the store owner, it's his livelihood. In the case of the poacher, he is robbing law abiding hunters and fishermen of what is rightfully theirs, resources they've paid for with hunting and fishing license sales and taxes on guns and ammo and such.
My friend Chip Gross, outdoor writer from Ohio, has written a spell-binding book about such outlaws, how they operate and how one brave innovative undercover officer infiltrated groups of poachers, bringing many of them to justice, risking his life in the process.
"Poachers Were My Prey – 18 Years As An Undercover Wildlife Officer" is the gripping account of R.T. Stewart, one such undercover officer who spent a goodly portion of his career gathering information, recordings and clandestine photos of the poacher groups he infiltrated.
In one of the cases the book documents, after gaining the confidence of some of the poachers, Stewart rented a run-down trailer in close proximity to where the illegal activity was taking place, making the bad guys believe he was one of them. The first night Stewart and a partner were invited to come along on a night-hunting expedition, he was able to see just how bad these guys were.
"That night was my first up-close encounter with men who appeared to have no conscience about killing wildlife illegally, and it shocked me. The casual cruelty of (the poachers) sickened me. I realized they were hardcore poachers who didn't care at all. To them, each deer was just another carcass with a dollar sign on its head. I wanted to see them arrested and convicted, and I was willing to place my life on the line to make it happen," Gross quoted Stewart.
After fifteen months of undercover work on this case, sufficient evidence was collected to put the gang of poachers out of business.
This is a book that every responsible ethical hunter and fishermen should read. Should you wish to add this nearly 200 page illustrated book to your Christmas giving list, you can get an autographed copy from Chip Gross for $19.95 plus shipping and handling. Contact him at www.chipgross.com.

Pulsating Tinnitus
One of the most common causes of pulsating tinnitus is turbulent or noisy blood flow going to arteries in and around the ear. This can be caused by a plaque or kinks in the arteries in both the head and neck – which under normal circumstances would not cause any problem.
In such cases where plaque has built up within the arteries or bloodflow has been increased because of hypertension – high blood pressure – then one symptom of these problems is that you start to hear the blood as it passes through the arteries in your head.
Obviously though, these aren't the only causes of pulsating tinnitus. Here's a quick list of the most common causes.
The Venous Hum
Resulting From…
- Pregnancy
- Anaemia
- Thyroid Problems
Collectively, these conditions can cause an increased blood flow through the jugular vein. This is the largest vein in the neck and carries blood from the brain back to the heart going past the middle ear. The noise created by turbulence in the bloodflow as it passes through the jugular vein is often heard in the middle ear as an "Hum". Many times this will be in rhythm with the bloodflow — but not always. Doctors may refer to this noise as a Venous Hum.
Cartoid Artery Fistula
This condition results in an abnormal connection between the large artery and venous pool found within the cranial cavity. Many times this is due to severe head trauma perhaps as a result of an accident.
Chronic infection or inflammation of the middle ear
Chronic infection in the middle ear will often result in inflammation of the middle ear. The body often responds to inflammation by increasing the blood flow to the affected part or tissue. In this case, as the affected part is in the ear mean that some people are able to hear this increase blood flow as it something they're not used to.
Fluid in the middle ear
Under normal circumstances the middle ear is filled with air. However, there are a number of circumstances such as infection, inflammation or eustachian tube problems that result in fluid building up behind the middle ear. As the fluid accumulates this can distort or put pressure on the tissues in the middle ear such that the bloodflow seems to be more apparent to the sufferer.
Vascular tumours
In many cases tumours such as these glomus tumours (paragangliomas) are benign. But again as they will cause a distortion of the tissues within the ear and may constrict arteries. Quite often a symptom of the type of tumours is that the sufferer can hear their blood flowing. In this case surgery is often the only remedy.
Malformation of Arteries
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM's) in this case the sufferer develops an abnormal collection of arteries and veins within the cranial cavity and in close proximity to the auditory nerve. The tissue which develops as a result of this malformation pulses against the auditory nerve stimulating it and giving rise to alternating tinnitus.

Credit card debt: How to cut a deal
- Work out a budget. Review all your expenses to see what nonessentials can be cut to free up cash for your cards. Make sure your budget is realistic, though; if you try to get too Spartan or fail to include all your expenses, you won't be able to stick to your plan. "Make sure you have a good handle on what you can pay and what you can't pay," Credit.com's Detweiler said. "You want to be able to put food on the table and gas in the car" before you think about paying nonessentials. Agreeing to a payment plan you can't afford is counterproductive, the credit experts said, because you'll lose all credibility if you fail to make the agreed-on payments and the issuer may respond with hardball tactics.
- Get realistic about your situation. If your financial setback is truly temporary, a short-term forbearance or hardship plan may be all you need to get through a rough patch. Issuers can reduce your interest rate and minimum payments for a few months and may waive fees to make your debt more affordable. Some even offer to erase any earlier late payments from your credit reports as long as you make subsequent payments on time, Detweiler said. But if you won't be able to afford your payments once the forbearance ends, you may need a more drastic solution, such as a workout arrangement or a debt settlement.
A workout typically allows you to pay off your balance over several years at a reduced interest rate. Some issuers offer these plans directly to borrowers, while others require you to use a debt-management plan offered by a legitimate credit counselor, such as one affiliated with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Be aware that you won't be able to use your cards during the workout period, and it may have implications for your credit.
Do it yourself?
Some borrowers may prefer to go to a credit counselor rather than try to handle negotiations on their own, said Connie Prater, a senior writer for CreditCards.com. Credit counselors know exactly whom to call at each issuer to put a debt workout plan in place, and they can help with budgeting.
"Some people just don't feel comfortable doing this on their own," Prater said. "It can help to have a credit counselor hold your hand and call on your behalf."
Credit counselors, however, must accept the rates and terms that have been dictated by the issuers, which may not be as beneficial as what a consumer could negotiate on his or her own, Bovee said. For example, most debt-management plans have rates in the 9% to 11% range for a five-year plan, he said, while one issuer-provided workout plan recently offered rates of less than 1%. Also, you'll be expected to pay your entire principal back in full. Credit counselors don't offer debt settlement.
Another issue: You may not qualify for a credit counselor's debt management plan if your bills are too big for your income. In that case, bankruptcy or debt settlement may be your only options.
If you opt for the do-it-yourself route, keep a notebook and pen by the phone, and make good notes of every conversation you have with your creditors, Detweiler advised. Stay calm and ask for a supervisor if the person you're talking to isn't cooperative.
"The first person you get on the phone is likely to be the least knowledgeable and the least helpful," Prater said. "Continue to go up the line until you get someone who can answer your questions."
Once you have an agreement with your issuer, make sure to get everything in writing, including how the deal will be reported to the credit bureaus.
But whether you should make the first call -- or wait until your creditors contact you -- is a matter of debate.

so how come people go all there life without seeing one, I want to see a ghost because I wont belive it until I see and understand it

Just that you are delusional.
I would question what stories you might of heard before supposedly seeing such ghosts.
09-06-04, 11:04 AM #26Originally Posted by Hypercane
An interesting example, my brother recently bought an old cottage, after staying there for a month his wife (who believes in ghosts) saw a ghostly figure of an old lady. My brother a few weeks latter (who doesnt believe in ghosts) saw the same thing. Then a few weeks latter a couple of friends he had over (who are indifferent about ghosts from what i understand) saw the same ghost again.
So my brother starts telling people in the village about this and finds out that an old women died in that house and pretty much every owner that has lived there since she died has reported seeing her ghost.
What you have here is a classic case, that defies the 'hallucination' explaination or at the very least stretches that particular explaination to the limits of credibility.
Its very important to remember that the only reason these things are being labeled hallucinations is because they arnt explianable.
This attitude is a fairly modern one, 'fireballs' and meteorites were nothing but 'aboritions' and were only acepted when we we were able to understand their origin and put them into a rational context.
And in very recent memory, sprites (the name for upwards electrical storms high in the atmosphere) which had been reported for decades by pilots but had always been dismissed as hallucinations, have only just been accepted by the scientific community in the past 10 years in light of recent theorys that support their existance.
The message is clear to my mind, alittle faith in peoples judgment is no bad thing, and as the cliche goes; wheres there's smokes there's fire.

Your brother says he sees the ghst of an old lady, that thought is in the back of everybodies mind, they then imagine an old lady, and so it goes on, gathering credibility.
You brother probably picked up the old lady story from the very people that supposedly verified his experience.
People are suggestable to this degree. Professional hypnotists use this trait to make fools out of their audience, and make good money doing so.
If hypnotists can guarantee making complete arses of half a dozen people out of an audience of a few hundred, I think we can easily see how the supposed number of group 'ghost' experiences can come from, out of a population of 6 Billion.
But anyway, answer the classic ghost questions. Why no ghost flies, slugs, wasps, rats, rabbits, etc? Why no ghost bronze age man? Why no ghost cavemen? Why no ghost neanderthals?

I am not sure why some are hostile to the idea that Ghost's exist. If they do it's not provable. Or measurable.
Some have never seen a tornado, or an earthquake. Some have never seen ghosts. Sure, yeah we see evidence of the destruction a tornado or an earthquake can do. We've even seen ghost's supposedly on film.
If any of you believe ghost's are real, as I do. Don't let a couple of stubborn, arrogant scientist's change you're mind!
Scientists believe in a lot of thing's they can't prove. Just because we can't prove something at this time - does not make it false.
It means we DON'T KNOW.

Here is some interesting science behind ghost:
And here is quite the interesting GHOST story that "really never happened"
My personal stance on ghosts is... indiffernt.
One girl I once knew said she had a ghost of a horse in her basement. :\
Its really hard to get any hard evidence on the matter, see as how they ARE spirits and all.

Do understand the underlying reason for why your heart beats so you can simply percieve that ?
Or are you taking it for granted ? Where has our creativity gone ?
The same creativity that expanded our minds into the currently evolutionary stages ?

I personally do not believe in ghosts myself...
But Plog... you sure have some attitude..
Something died so it MUST leave a ghost behind?
That is what you are saying.
"Ghosts" tend to have unfinished business... and even if these "spirits" cannot achieve this unfinished business, they tend to haunt people from time to time. Not always, infact RARELY do they haunt people in a bad way.
It may not even be ghosts... lets go a bit more extreme...
It could even be a crack in time/space.
Who knows.
But to say that every case is a figment of people imagination or that they simply jumped to conclusions....
Give the human race some credit plog... we may not be "geniuses" like you... but we certainly are not THAT stupid. Some cases may be false but to generalize that all of them are ?
Sounds like someone is being stereotypical.

The interesting question is this... Just because we cannot see something with our 5 senses does not necessarily mean things dont exist...
Clearly, Bats for example have different senses then we do... Deer for example cannot see as well as we can but they do have great sense of hearing...
This shows that the difference in "senses" exists... After proving that their is differential in senses, you can further expand and say that different senses are possible that WE as humans do not possess... Even go as far to say that we only use 10% of our brain capacity.....etc etc, more senses could be in our brains in hybernation per sae.
Further, stretching reality, you can say that humans can actually "Sense" Spirits etc.
Everyone goes into a certain building, dark area, etc etc and gets those sense of shivers, increased heart beat etc..
Why does this phenomon exist?
Is it because our subliminal minds/senses can detect such things?!? Clearly, this is a thing that all humans do have and use all the time...
Isnt it possible that this undiscovered sense is also in use when you feel like your being watched but cannot see anyone... or those instances when just for a split second you thought you saw something in the corner of your eye, but nothing was there?
Possibly dormant senses that we are only "touching" the base on..
Very WOO WOO, but somewhat plausible..
Every time I hear the word Woo Woo, I feel like a million brain cells die.
I think we all have a 6th sense. But what to call it is a question.
I think we can sense when someone or something else is in the room/area with us.
Without hearing, touching, seeing, smelling or tasting we as humans have this uncanny way of knowing when something else is around us.
Many poeple who visit "ghost ridden buildings, grave yards or ships" sometime claim that they felt something else was there with them. It could be their imagination, seeing how they know they are visiting these places becuase they HAVE had ghost storys... but you never know.
I still like my 2 links above.
If you have not watched them yet, I urge you too now.
The one link sort of contradicts what I just said, but oh well.

My wife and I have both seen dark figure(s) in one of our rooms. I went for a couple of weeks seeing it occasionally from the corner of my eye to one day my wife saying she had been seeing something in the corner of her eye in the same room. After comparing stories my wife pointed out that our new dog would bark at unseen things near the ceiling areas and he remains suspicious of the ceiling to this day (1 year later).
I tore down the half wall that had been blocking our view into the suspect room for remodel and it seemed things had quieted down. This past week a dark figure has returned. Details of it are few. The first dark figure had unkempt hair and was also short.
The first figure would travel E-W through the house. This new one seems to travel E after appearing.
Last year after we discussed what we had seen with each other we began to hear strange music box type music with no specific location and our doorbell (wireless) would ring randomly throughout the day and for a while in the middle of the night (3am ish).
Besides the walls being removed during the remodel weve done nothing else to prevent these walk throughs (what else can you do?). Anyway, wife got creeped out last night after seeing it a couple of more times so she went into her art room to get away from having to see it any more. I guess its no harm no foul with these things so far. Anyone else have weird stuff happen like this and what were you able to do about it? My cousin, who knew nothing of what we were experiencing and his first visit with us ever, saw a figure leaving our house, from the west side of the house through the back yard. We have a 6 fence, completely closed off and a rather ferocious 80lb. pit bull.

Pregnenolone is biochemically a prohormone. It is made directly from cholesterol within the mitochondria of the adrenal glands and, to a lesser degree, the nervous system, with the help of the cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme, p450scc. Pregnenolone is a precursor to various hormones, such as progesterone, mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, androgens, and estrogens. So it can help the body maintain normal hormone levels, which in turn helps numerous body functions.

If you're on the market for a used Honda, you might be asking yourself any number of questions about vehicle quality. Here at our dealership, we understand that shopping for a certified pre-owned vehicle can cause a few more headaches than shopping for a new one. Fret not. The Honda Certified Pre-Owned program has your back.

A Honda vehicle only qualifies as certified pre-owned after it undergoes a multiple point inspection. Everything from the engine, brakes, interior appointments and buttons are tested to ensure they are in proper working order, and replaced, if not.

Find out more about this process in the video below.

On the market for a vehicle? Whether it's a used or new Honda, we've got plenty, and would love to introduce you to our lineup. Contact us at our San Leonardo, CA dealership to learn more.

Honda is using Twitter and viral videos in order to stir up attention for the #fastestseat sweepstakes. The launch is the video featured above where famous driver Mario Andretti and others act as law enforcement and issue "slow citations" to randomly chosen people on the street in Chicago.

The sweepstakes is meant to call attention to Honda's involvement in racing culture and to promote advances in technology and performance in Honda vehicles. Participants in the sweepstakes have the opportunity to go to one of 10 races where they will then be allowed to ride in a Honda 2-seater which will be driven by Andretti. These races will include the INDYCAR 500, Honda Indy 200, and the Grand Pix of Sonoma.

For continued attention and amusement, 3 more "slow citation" videos can be expected on Honda's YouTube channel. Facebook and a returning TV spot starring Andretti will also be a part of the efforts. If you are interested in finding more about the sweepstakes or taking a look at our Honda inventory you can visit us at Honda of San Leandro, 1302 Marina Blvd, San Leandro, CA 94577.

 2014-03-31T07:00:00Z New Honda Hatch to Challenge Nurburgring Lap Record 2014-03-13T07:00:00Z 2014-03-13T07:00:00Z
The battlefield that is the world of hot hatches just met its newest competitor last week in Geneva, and it is poised to take down the current champion.

The lap record at the legendary Nurburgring is coveted within the automotive world, and over the past few years Seat and Renault have been battling back and forth in the top position. However, the new Honda Civic Type R concept that was just revealed is looking like a major contender.

Honda released a video teasing the style and design of this new hot hatch, and we of course included it for your viewing below:

The Civic Type R has the same power numbers as the Seat Leon Cupra, which currently is king of the Nurburgring, so when this hot Honda hatch hits the track it could topple the crown.

The new Honda models we currently offer may not include this beauteous beast, but here in San Leandro, California that much speed and power would only lead to a ton of tickets.

Make sure you check in here on our blog as the Civic Type R takes to the track and challenges the record, we will surely update you when the time comes.

At San Leandro Honda we sell a wide selection of new Honda vehicles. However, we also have a great selection of used Honda vehicles and we are proud to say that used Honda's are very popular and are regularly placed on "Best Used Car" lists.

We went through a view of these lists and picked out some vehicles that are great even when they're on their second owners. While these accolades list specific year, we believe the year can be ignored and the vehicles themselves can be considered.

Used Honda's that people are loving:

2005 Honda Civic1

2004 Honda Element 1

2004 Honda Odyssey1

2002 Honda CR-V2

Not all cars have great longevity, but Hondas are well known for being able to stay on the road for a long time. With the proper care and maintenance you can keep a used car in your garage or driveway for a long time. Our service department is also here to help you with regular maintenance.

To help you with your used car search, we also have a useful Honda reviews section that lists vehicles back to 2010. This is especially helpful if you are looking for a more recent used Honda.

Finally, we'll let you in on a little secret and tell you that out of the used Honda's on our lot the Accord and Civic are popular picks.

We here in San Leandro, CA were pretty pleased to hear that Honda's trademarked Earth Dreams Technology two-motor hybrid system - found in the 2014 Accord Plug-In Hybrid - was recently honored.

The system that combines electric-only, hybrid and engine drive power was named to Green Car Journal's Top 10 Green Car Technology List this year. The technology was cited for its excellent fuel efficiency that you can experience with the new Accord Plug-In Hybrid.

Beyond the excellent gas mileage you get with the Accord Plug-In Hybrid, Honda's Earth Dreams Technology allows the car's powertrain to transition into different driving modes based on where you are in your trip. The switch from electric-only to hybrid to engine drive modes is practically unnoticeable to you as your Accord Plug-In Hybrid is able to handle any driving situation.

The editor and publisher of Green Car Journal cited the model's obvious fuel-efficiency, but he also pointed out that the Accord Plug-In Hybrid comes with a unique, fun-to-drive quality that fits in nicely with Honda's commitment to green technology. He said the ability to adjust the powertrain mode in the car is another vast improvement in the realm of hybrid vehicles.

Serving Oakland and Hayward, CA, as well as the greater Bay Area, San Leandro Honda is dedicated to keeping up with Honda's latest innovations, especially when it comes to the manufacturer creating more fuel-efficient cars.

 2013-12-31T07:00:00Z Future Ridgeline Model Teased With Sketch of Silhouette 2013-12-10T07:00:00Z 2013-12-10T07:00:00Z
In most cases when a sketch is released of a next-generation model it gives us a concept of what the vehicle will look like. Recently, our brand released a sketch of a model that will be available here at Honda of San Leandro in the next year or two, however this sketch took ambiguity to another level.

The released sketch of the next-generation Honda Ridgeline left a lot to the imagination, teasing only the square frame via a simple silhouette.

While we wish more was revealed to us, this simple depiction does get our blood pumping and excites us at the possibilities for the new model.

The current 2014 Ridgeline is available here in San Leandro, California, and delivers the only truck in the market built on a closed-box unibody platform. Manufactured exclusively at Honda's plant in Lincoln, Alabama, this existing model will step aside next year for the predecessor that was hinted in the sketch mentioned above.

The Ridgeline has seen success in the past, being named the North American Truck of the Year in 2006, the year it first was launched. Currently, year-to-date the sales for the Honda pickup truck are up 29 percent, which was greatly assisted by a top of the line trim released this model year.

We will keep you updated here on our blog as we find out more information about the next-generation Ridgeline which was teased recently, so make sure you check back in with us.

If you are interested in the current model then come check it out today in our inventory of new Honda vehicles. Our dealership serves the entire San Leandro Bay area of California, and is located a few short miles from the numerous beautiful recreational facilities at Marina Park and the Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline.
 2013-12-10T07:00:00Z Could New turbo VTEC Engines Could Make Their Way to the U.S. Honda Lineup? 2013-11-27T07:00:00Z 2013-11-27T07:00:00Z
Engines, or powerplants, can make or break an auto; after all, they're the heart and soul of the machine. And, while this seems like an obvious statement, many automakers would still do themselves a favor to spend even more time developing their engine offerings.

Of course we at Honda of San Leandro aren't talking about our favorite automaker: no, not at all. After all, new Honda models are fitted with incredibly high-quality, efficient and concurrently powerful engines like the Honda Earth Dreams engine lineup.

Well, the Honda engine range is about to get even more exciting. That's because recently, Honda announced it would be adding three all-new VTEC TURBO engines to its Earth Dream Technology family. What's more, each one will be in a different capacity starting at a teensy 1 liter, all the way up to a 2-liter variant. We can expect the same impressive fuel economy, performance and power from these, as their Honda engine counterparts.

All three engines in the new range will be direct-injection turbo units with variable valve motion technology. The reason Honda has minimized its offerings (size-wise) is due to the potential for enhanced fuel economy / efficiency that is sure to result. The engines will be available in Europe first and it's unknown whether or not their destiny includes a place in the U.S. new Honda lineup.

However, one thing is for sure, we at Honda of San Leandro in California will be sure to post any and all news surrounding updated Honda parts right here to our blog. So, for this and more, please feel free to subscribe via your RSS feed.

Honda has made some incredible leaps and bounds here in the last month, both locally and abroad. Drivers in the greater Oakland area and beyond are singing the praises of our favorite Japanese automaker, and those shouts of joy have extended from coast to coast. But you don't have to take our word for it.

The automaker recently announced that the Honda Civic has recently overtaken another popular Japanese automaker's model as the top-selling compact car for the month of October here in the United States. That's certainly a reason for celebrating, if we've ever heard one! But that's not where the good news ends.

While we unfortunately won't see said new Fit model until sometime in the third quarter of 2014, this news only increases anticipation at how amazing it will be. Keep tuned in to our blog in the coming months as we receive more news on its eventual release.

 2013-11-14T07:00:00Z Experience the Honda Collection Hall Museum with Google 2013-10-16T07:00:00Z 2013-10-16T07:00:00Z
We guess it goes without saying, but the internet can be quite the quite double-edged sword. On the one hand, we cringe to think about how much time we here at Honda of San Leandro burned after YouTube and Facebook entered into our lives. On the other, it's put the world at our fingertips and made things like Project Drive-In more accessible than ever.

And now that our favorite automaker has begun harnessing the power of Google Street View, we now have a front-row ticket to one of our bucket list destinations in Japan.

On the off chance that you're unfamiliar, Google Street View is a feature in Google Earth that allows you to find a location on planet Earth, zoom in until you're at street level, at which point your treated to an interactive, panoramic view of your surroundings. Typically, this technology is used outdoors and made possible by cars with giant cameras strapped to their roofs. As for how Honda is taking advantage, they're bringing those cameras indoors.

Thanks to the power of Google, you can now go on a self-guided tour of the Honda Collection Hall Museum in Japan's Tochigi Prefecture. For those who've never been, you're looking at a three-story building showcasing over 350 of the best and brightest vehicles in Honda's long, illustrious career as an automaker. Needless to say, it's quite the time-suck, but it's time well spent at that.

On that note, make your way over to Google if you'd like to see the museum for yourself. Or if you'd rather get away from your computer, feel free to experience all that our showroom has to offer at our dealership here in San Leandro, CA, just down the way from Hayward. After all, there's nothing like the real thing.
 2013-10-16T07:00:00Z America's Drive-Ins Live thanks to You and Honda 2013-10-02T07:00:00Z 2013-10-02T07:00:00Z
Just the other month, we here at Honda of San Leandro were putting out the call to help our favorite automaker save our nation's drive-in movie theaters. Given that's it's not every day we get to preserve our national treasures, the cause was very near and dear to our hearts. And now that your efforts are starting to pay off, we just couldn't be prouder.

In case you missed it, just about all of America's drive-ins are in danger of going out of business when Hollywood completely switches over to digital film at the end of this year. Since installing digital projectors will cost these theaters some $75,000 per screen, many owners don't have the means to do it and will be forced to close their doors as a result. Well thanks to the 2.6 million votes that were collected through Project Drive-In since August, Honda has raised enough money to save nine drive-ins.

And if you think the owners are happy about it, the same goes for the brass at Honda.

"It has been an honor and a privilege to bring national and local attention to the fate of drive-ins and to meet the passionate owners of these small businesses," says Alicia Jones, manager of social marketing at American Honda Motor, Co., Inc. "We have that the #SaveTheDriveIn movement continues in the effort to help keep more drive-ins open for the next generation."1

Speaking of hashtags, the campaign has received more than 62 million impressions on Twitter alone over the past seven weeks, plus another 651 million press mentions and 30,000 individual name-checks in blogs, forums and the like. Needless to say, we're certainly weren't the only ones passionate about this cause.

With that said, head on over to the Project Drive-In website to learn more about how you can keep the campaign going strong. Or if you'd like to experience your drive-in right proper before 2014 arrives, then look to further than the 2014 Honda Odyssey at our dealership here in San Leandro, CA.

 2013-10-02T07:00:00Z The Honda Accord is officially the Best Use Coupe on the Market 2013-09-18T07:00:00Z 2013-09-18T07:00:00Z
As we mentioned a couple months ago, the Honda Accord truly is one of the best sedans under $25,000. While news like this doesn't exactly come as much of a surprise to us here at Honda of San Leandro, we will always jump at the opportunity to celebrate our new and used cars. And as much as we love our sedan of the hour, it's time we spread the love to its two-door sibling.

As far as coupes go, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one than the Accord in today's market. Sure, we were fans to begin with, but we're not the only ones. Take the automotive experts at Edmunds.com for example. They love this coupe so much that they recently decided to name it the Best Used Coupe in their list of the Best Used Cars for 2013.

If you're wondering how it earned such an honor, the staff at Edmunds.com went through every used coupe that was sold between 2006 and 2011. Each one was vetted according to how their safety standards, reliability, value and availability measured up against the opinions of industry experts and everyday drivers. And at the end of the day, there wasn't a coupe out there that could touch the Accord.

"Since most Accords are sold in the sedan body style, it's easy to forget that Honda also offers its best-seller as a stylish coupe," say the editors at Edmunds.com. "This selection represents two generations of the Accord coupe: 2003-'07 and 2008-'12. Either way, you'll get tight build quality, a smooth ride, refined powertrains and a strong reputation for reliability."1

So if you'd like to experience it for yourself, your test drive awaits you at our dealership here in San Leandro, CA, just down the way from Oakland. Like we said, it just doesn't get any better.

 2013-09-18T07:00:00Z Neil Patrick Harris stars in the new Honda Odyssey Commercial 2013-09-04T07:00:00Z 2013-09-04T07:00:00Z
If there's one thing that never ceases to amaze us - aside from our new and used cars, of course - it's the recent revival of Neil Patrick Harris. Back in the '90s, we here at Honda of San Leandro figured he was doomed to be remembered as Doogie Howser for the rest of his days. Then, all of a sudden, he started stealing the spotlight in those Harold and Kumar movies and How I Met Your Mother, plus singing and dancing while hosting the Tony Awards with bells on.

Who could have predicted that he would become such a modern-day Renaissance Man? Well if ever there were someone to cast in a new commercial for the 2014 Honda Odyssey, NPH was it.

In case you missed it, the new Odyssey will come with the option of a built-in vacuum cleaner that's been dubbed the HondaVAC. Naturally, it's also one of the stars for a new 30-second TV spot.

Dubbed "It's Here," the commercial begins with NPH voicing a curly fry, a dust bunny and a bubble blower - the kind of things that usually build up on the floor of your minivan. They're sitting there enjoying the Odyssey's roomy exterior and built-in entertainment systems when a gummy bear approaches them with a sign reading "The End is Nigh." Next thing you know, the HondaVAC shows up and vacuums them all away.

Not only is it another reason to love Neil Patrick Harris, but it's a great way to highlight many of things we love about this minivan. So if you'd like to learn more about all that the Odyssey has to offer, feel free to visit the experts in our car parts department at our dealership here in San Leandro, CA. After all, NPH wouldn't get behind just any old vehicle.

Welcome to ICCIP the International Climate Change Information Programme
Call for Papers: "Managing Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region"
The "Climate Change Management Series", published with Springer is a leading book series on climate change management. It is now calling for papers for a new volume, to be launched in late 2014, titled "Managing Climate Change in the Asia-Pacific Region".
Due to its geo-political structure, the Asia-Pacific region is one of the most vulnerable areas to the impacts of climate change. Yet, there is a paucity of scientific publications which look at the particularities and complexities of cllimate change adaptation in the region in an interactive manner, and which highlight the diffferentiated impacts of climate change across countries. The book will address this need, and will bridge the knowledge gap seen in this field, with a special focus on aspects of climate change management. The publication will document and promote scholarly research, practical projects, field work and other climate change adaptation initiatives, from scientists based -or working- in the Asia-Pacific region. Expressions of interest, initially consisting of a 200 words abstract with the full contact details of the authors, should be sent to: email@example.com
Further details will be discussed with the authors whose abstracts have been accepted. The editor would be happy to discuss submissions in advance.

Kidney Allocation Policy Development
The National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) and Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) final rule require the OPTN to develop medical criteria for equitable organ allocation.
The OPTN/UNOS Kidney Transplantation Committee is charged with reviewing the current kidney allocation system and making recommendations for improvement of the system.
The current kidney allocation system has been in place for over 20 years. During this time, some changes have been made, but the system cannot keep up with current trends in medicine. As waiting times for kidney transplant increase throughout the United States, the need for review of the current system and discussion of possible revisions is great.
Under consideration
The OPTN/UNOS Kidney Transplantation Committee recently requested feedback from the transplant community and the public on a concept document, and is now considering these comments in an evaluation of approaches to kidney allocation.

Students teach us a fashion tights lesson
Posted 29th February 2012 by Katrina
The likes of Jessie J, Rhianna and Fearne Cotton nailed the fashion tights look a long time ago, leaving the rest of us mere mortals (i.e. non celebrities) scrambling to figure out how to wear these stylish designs.
But times have changed since I was at school, and it seems the teenagers that now attend them have changed too. These 21st century girls are fashion-tights savvy, and know how to put them with an outfit.
Take pupils at Manchester High School for Girls, for example. They have recently put on a fashion show to raise money for the school's bursary fund, and after receiving a tights donation from us which included some of our most popular designs – the House of Holland for Pretty Polly alphabet tights and Elle rose lace net tights - put together a number of rather fabulous outfits.
Check out some of the pictures from the night below.
|Photography by Jonathan Oakes
Lady Gaga-inspired head gear aside, it seems the students have taught me a few lessons about how to rock fashion tights!

The reason for this was not the frost presence and frost tree but the presence of tanking CD's in the frost tree which no one seems to address what about unbreakable armor this is far in the tree so not a crossover talent? As well as improved frost presence and acclimation as far down in the tree.
Chris Anthony said...
Clearly, the only change that Blizzard is going to make to Death Knight talents in Cataclysm is to declare that we're only allowed to use Blood to tank. Nothing else will change at all from the way it is currently. *nods sagely*

Speaking at the January BPW HAM meeting, Sienna Heights student and club Treasurer, Ms Rutan shared with the group her studies in Psychology. Titled "Insights of Inner Resilience to Reduce Depression", Ula explained that women between 40-50 years of age experience more depression than other population groups.
Ula encouraged the use of tools on the Road to Resiliency namely positive relationships and staying connected. Membership in this very group is an outstanding use of this tool. It gives us a sense of purpose, helps us maintain positive relationships and provides social support.
Those who have not attended a meeting lately, have expired memberships or are looking to belong in a group of like-minded souls are welcome to attend any and all monthly meetings. Drop in at Steve's Ranch House on Blackstone Rd in Jackson, 5:30 pm any 3rd Thursday of the month.
Movie Fundraiser Nets Over $1000 for Scholarships
On November 15th at the Michigan Theatre, Harriet A Myer BPW raised enough to provide 2 scholarships with the showing of "The Help" movie. This creative group of women used a 50/50 raffle, homemade chocolate pie auctions, screen sponsorships, and ticket sales to net over $1000.
Thanks to a very kind and generous audience, some bidding over $30 to take home a pie. Suzanne McCloskey paid it forward, the former scholarship recipient participated heavily in the auction. Thanks Suzanne!
Thanks for a great time August 15h to socialize and experience a relaxing dinner (great food) on the deck. The weather was terrific and the company exceptional.
As part of our overall mission to personal and professional improvement, the group is collectively reading "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office" by Lois P Frankel. Purchase your copy today and start reading to learn how to compete and assert yourself as winner.

At the July 25 monthly meeting, Debra McEldowney MSN, RN, SANE-A was our guest speaker, brought to us by Kate Keersmaeker. SANE, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, is a special practice brought to the health field. Not all communities have these critically trained nurses and Jackson is certainly blessed with having Debra.
SANE nurses are registered and have completed specialized education and clinical preparation in the medical forensic care of the patient who has experienced sexual assault or abuse. Victims of sexual assault are most severely psychologically traumatized individuals a nurse will encounter. Victims are often re-traumatized upon entering the hospital if not cared for by a trained SANE nurse. Most will re-live the assault several times over explaining the crime to police, physicians and nurses. The role of the SANE nurse is the epitome of patient supports. She is help to preserve the dignity of the victim but collects evidence that links to the suspect.

Home Not-So-Sweet For USF As Cougars Are Swept By Bulldogs
Through a particularly wintry spring, a myriad of site reversals has given the University of Sioux Falls baseball team the chance to play all but four games at home during the month of April.
Little did the Cougars know that Harmodon Park would be a home not-so-sweet and that Easter weekend would end with one more twist of the knife.
Cougars Win Two On Senior Day
Cougars Lose Lead Late, Fall 7-2 At Wayne State
The University of Sioux Falls held a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning of their NSIC matchup against Wayne State. But the Wildcats plated three runs in the fifth and sixth innings to take a 7-2 victory, snapping the Cougars' five game winning streak.
The second game of the scheduled doubleheader was cancelled due to snow.
Cougars Earn Split With SMSU, Snap Nine Game Losing Streak
Vikings Sweep Cross-Town Rival Cougars
The University of Sioux Falls dropped a midweek double-header to cross-town rival Augustana Wednesday at Harmodon Park. The Vikings cruised to a 14-2 game one victory behind a season-high 17 hits, and held on for a 3-2 win in the nightcap to earn a full point in the Sioux Falls Mayor's Cup standings.

Martin Brodeur has been the center of the universe for the New Jersey Devils since 1993 when he won the Calder Trophy as the best rookie in the league. He's played in almost every important game in New Jersey's recent history, and is one of the main reasons the Devils have three Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters.
Brodeur has established himself as arguably the best big-game goalie in the history of the NHL, and is a can't-miss, sure-fire first-ballot Hall of Famer. Votes won't get much easier than that one.
All the accolades in the world don't matter much in the world of hockey or sports, sadly. While the Devils have handled Brodeur with applause-worthy class, the time has come for the longtime-starter to be relegated to backup duty.
It has nothing to do with age and it certainly has nothing to do with the trade the the Devils went out and made to acquire Cory Schneider. This is a performance-based business, and if Brodeur was still posting a 2.3 GAA and shutting out opponents every eight or nine games, then we'd be all for letting the old dog play in the yard for just a big longer.
The Devils have gone winless through their first seven games though, managing to grab a few points by forcing a few overtimes. That's the only thing separating New Jersey from the basement in the Eastern Conference. They are among the worst teams in hockey at the moment and what they are doing clearly isn't working.
While it's important that the forward group continues to iron out the chemistry issues, the time is now for the Devils to cement who the true No. 1 goaltender will be moving forward. That's Schneider, and it's been Schneider since the Devils somehow managed to turn the ninth-overall selection in the 2013 draft into a bona fide, young starting goalie.
It's a luxury that teams like the New York Islanders would love to have, and it's time for Jersey to take advantage of the best player on their team. Again, that's Schneider. He's the goalie that gives this team the best chance to win on a nightly basis, and at this juncture Brodeur should only be rolled out sparingly to give him a rest.
That's the best bet for the Devils to get back on track. Whether or not they can find it in themselves to bench a legend is another matter entirely.

Cooperation, inclusive fitness and complexity: Hamilton was right after all!
By John Pepper
November 1st, 2007
Abstract: One of the most persistent and important issues in evolutionary biology is the origin of cooperation. The most influential theoretical approach has been Hamilton theory of inclusive fitness, which is mathematically equivalent to the more recent formulations of multi-level selection theory.
The scope of inclusive fitness theory is controversial. Other authors have equated inclusive fitness effects with kin selection, while Hamilton insisted that his approach was more general, but incorporated kin selection as a special case. John will present recent results showing that Hamilton was correct in principle, and that mechanisms other than common descent can generate the genetic similarity between individuals that drives inclusive fitness effects. The alternative mechanism John will describe is driven by self- organization. It is non-intuitive, yet requires only conditions that are widely met in nature.

this LED light is great for any band that does shows in a garage, bar, or backyard parties. if you drop it like i have its not real easy to break. the only part that i would say that is bad is that it doesn't have a built in fog machine. when you use the fog machine it takes to a whole new level. you can see the beams of light it is freakin great.

The latest in a series of appreciation posts for the artists who have graciously agreed to appear in Una the Blade. Today it's Dershing Helmer. I won't lie to you, getting Dershing aboard is a pretty big deal for me. There are more established artists on the roster, but Dershing is a uniquely talented creator and one of my favorite internet cartoonists. Her online graphic novel The Meek promises to be one of the most complex works in web comic form to date. She also colored Doug TenNapel's graphic novel Cardboard.

I activated the pro version two weeks ago but today it asks me for the activation code again. Please fix this! Of don't want to enter a code every time I want to use this app. Edit: totally unusable now. Asks for activation code every few minutes now.
