Rahman, Mohammad Mafizur and Dutta, Dilip (2012) The gravity model analysis of Bangladesh's trade: a panel data approach. Journal of Asia Pacific Business , 13 (3). pp. 263-286. ISSN 1059-9231
The article applies generalized gravity models to analyze Bangladesh's bilateral trade pattern using the panel data estimation technique. The results reveal that Bangladesh's trade is positively determined by the size of the economies, per capita gross domestic product differential and openness of the trading countries. Bangladesh's exports are positively determined by its income, partner countries' total import demand and openness, but negatively determined by partner countries' income and domestic inflation. Bangladesh's imports are positively determined by income of trading countries and degree of openness of the partner countries and negatively determined by partner countries' inflation. Transportation costs affect Bangladesh's trade negatively.

Some people have asked me for some more pictures from the festival, but since all the pictures are taken with disposeable cameras most of photos don't do well on screen. Even so I found these three pictures that I love. Felt like the one on top really captured the festival atmosphere. Also want to say thank you for so much great feedback on my photos so keep up the good work and keep on commenting both good and bad!

My mother had begun to tell me a story. It was one that I could recall hearing as a small child, but this time it was different. There was more of a maturity in the tale.
Long ago there had been a young girl that had stumbled into the woods nearby. She had been following her new puppy that she had received from her parents on her seventh birthday. Before she knew it, the trees had overshadowed the sunlight and she had gone too deep into the woods to be able to find her way back. When she finally realized that she was lost she began to cry.
Much to her dismay, the little girl hadn't known that evil spirits lurked in the woods. They heard her dries and watched as she desperately searched for a reminder of the way home, but she never seen one thing that could help her.
The evil spirits had seemed to see something in the child that could be of use to them, so they used their magic to embody a bear cub. Being clever they had chosen one that was fairly young so that the size wouldn't frighten the child away. As they drew closer to the child the almost angelic words were heard coming from her tiny lips. It was something that the spirits had never heard before. The girl was praying. She had dropped to her knees in the middle of the darkest of woods and was praying with every ounce of faith in her heart. She was asking for a solution to her problem. Whether that be leading her father to her rescue, or just to keep her safe until dawn so that she could try to find her way back home.
The evil spirits found that they could have contact with the child as the bear, but they soon realized that something was blocking the magic that they wished to use against the child.
My mother had begun to tell me a story. It was one that I could recall hearing as a small child, but this time it was different. There was more of a maturity in the tale.

This user interface allows the individual to publish and/ or download documents to specific web solutions utilizing a Web linked Bro MFC without using a computer.

Initially look, you'll discover that the Brother MFC-J4510DW is incredibly portable compared with other multifunctional printers from the business with a rectangle-shaped shape that departs from Bro's commonly square arrangement. Ancient rubber buttons as well as exposed paper trays jutting into all directions tainted Bro devices from the past, yet the MFC-J4510DW gets a modular design with folding media trays, an integrated USB cable television that directs via the center of the device, as well as a modifiable 3.7-inch touch-screen screen on the front that automatically adjusts to pick up the stress of your finger. The system's measurements are workable at 18.9 inches broad, 11.4 inches deep, as well as 7.3 inches tall, however the two intermediaries on either side of the ink-jet printer earn less work out of inter-office transport.
The 150-sheet paper input tray takes out of all-time low and really includes one more folding plastic tray on the top that collects outbound prints. I would not expect large offices with hundreds of staff members to consider this sort of ink-jet printer, yet its 13,000 page-per-month printing limit integrated with the 150-sheet input capacity indicates this device will certainly grow in small workgroups or even as a silent partner in a start-up workplace setting.
The Brother MFC-J4510DW most innovative function on this design is Sibling's new inner paper-feeding mechanism that instructs you to load paper flat. In contrast to most ink-jet printers, this endure brand-new step enables Sibling to maintain the physical framework brief and narrow, yet it additionally implies you can publish on abnormally long tabloid-sized media (i.e. 11x17-inch paper). In that case, you'll have to make use of the hand-operated feed loader on the back of the tool, but the front end holds its very own with automatic-duplexing for publishing on both sides of paper and also a top-loading, 20-sheet auto-document feeder for loading heaps of media to check or fax.
The Brother MFC-J4510DW control panel rests directly in the establishment of the system as well as makes up a backlit 3.7-inch touch screen in addition to a collection of digital buttons that let you dial a telephone number, return to the home display, or leave out of a menu. Perhaps borrowing even more attributes from other printer makers, the buttons illuminate just when you remain in a method that requires their use. Thankfully, Bro appears to have actually done its research, as well as the touch display screen doesn't deal with display level of sensitivity issues tormenting various other ink-jet printer vendors. Lastly, there's additionally a tiny Wi-Fi indicator on the bottom-right side of the panel that reveals signal strength and informs you to outages in the network.

Eating Packaged Food Can be Tough When Trying to Watch Your Health
I have been trying to eat mostly fresh food and very little processed food. As I was cruising through MSN.com's Healthy Living section I came across an article about processed food that can actually be good for you. I probably wouldn't eat all of these, and some of them I already do, but there were some great ideas. Sometimes processed food is just easier to prepare. Maybe not as easy as eating an apple, but popping the top on a healthy peanut butter or can of beans with no BPA's can save some time and your health.

During pregnancy, one of the symptoms that most expectant mothers complain about is the increased need to visit the bathroom. Growing a baby simply means needing to pee more often. As the belly grows, some women will also experience some mild incontinence. Taking plenty of frequent trips to the bathroom often solves the problem. At twelve weeks and three days pregnant, I have not yet experienced any problems with peeing myself. Yes, sometimes I find myself dashing to the nearest toilet because I waited too long between potty breaks. But I have yet to actually pee myself. Not that I have not thought I did pee myself. In addition to needing to pee more often, expectant mothers often also experience watery discharge while pregnant. And, boy, that liquidy and white discharge during pregnancy has sent me running to the bathroom more than once!
Because I charted my cervical fluids in addition to my basal body temperature prior to conceiving my precious little Poppy, I am super aware of the different kinds of moisture happening in my vagina. Thus, that I am experiencing watery discharge while pregnant worries me not in the least. Leukorrhea, as the clear or white discharge during pregnancy is known amongst medical professionals, is caused by an increase in hormones and blood flow. (Hormones and blood flow sure do take a lot of blame during pregnancy!) Sometimes yucky, a watery discharge while pregnant plays an important role in protecting the baby: Preventing nasty germs from entering the vagina. A clear or white discharge during pregnancy is, therefore, wanted and necessary.However, when I feel a little gush of watery discharge while pregnant, I still find myself in a little panic as I head for the nearest bathroom. First, having lost my first pregnancy to a miscarriage, feeling any liquids in my nether regions prompts me to check for blood. Second, sometimes the gush of liquidy white discharge during pregnancy makes me feel like I just peed myself. And all the panty liners in the world will not keep me from running to the nearest toilet in the future. Yes, I know that leukorrhea is perfectly normal. I also think that dashing for the privacy of the bathroom at the first trickle of watery discharge while pregnant is the prerogative of every expectant mother. Feeling anything wet in my panties is a little disconcerting, pregnant or not. Pregnancy just makes me a little more anxious about the everyday happenings of my vagina.

Peru State College Appreciation Day
On Thursday, April 20, CAB and Student Senate sponsored the Second Annual Peru State College Appreciation Day.
Last year's festivities laid the foundation for this year's fun with entertainment provided by Brad Hoshaw and the Seven Deadlies and with chicken wings and other delights supplied by Cotty's restaurant which also hosted the event.
In addition to food and music, CAB and Student Senate thanked everyone for a tremendous and productive year with raffles throughout the three-hour celebration.
As the photographs I uploaded suggest, everyone from the band to the members of CAB and the Student Senate enjoyed a grand time in beautiful weather for a party.
Brad Hoshaw and the Seven Deadlies kept feet tapping, and I recorded a couple of their songs for your further enjoyment.
Thanks to everyone for an excellent year at Peru State College.

Hoyt Street Jazz on the Green
Late morning on a windy but otherwise stunning Thursday, April 29, the Hoyt Street Jazz Ensemble performed "on the green," providing fitting entertainment to celebrate the end of the term's approach.
As the photographs I uploaded underscore, the event drew an appreciative and varied crowd of students, staff, faculty, community members, and future Peru State College scholars.
What a fitting way to bring a busy and wonderfully successful year of music at Peru State College to a conclusion.
On Tuesday night of this week, Jane Henry and Blake Lofing sang a fun-filled duet, "Everything" by Michael Buble, for which I got some pretty good photographs.
This time around, I filmed the number for your viewing. As always, enjoy the music and the pictures. (The wind did cause some problems with the sound on the video here and there.)
Misty Blues and Hoyt Street Jazz Ensemble
On Sunday night, April 25, the Misty Blues and the Hoyt Street Jazz Ensemble shook the Peru State College Theater with uplifting dance and electrifying music.
In their final performance of the 2009-2010 year, the Misty Blues, under the direction of Dr. Tom Ediger, opened the show with over thirty minutes of non-stop song and dance.
For your enjoyment, I recorded three songs, numbers the group performed consecutively: "Grand Illusion," "When You're Home," and "Man in the Mirror."
And then the Hoyt Street Jazz Ensemble, conducted by Dr. Pat Fortney, took up right where the Misty Blues left off, putting on an inspiring show, setting the stage for their final performance of the year on Thursday, May 29, in front of the PSC Library: Jazz on the Green.
I uploaded the group's version of "Peg," the Steely Dan favorite, and a world premier performance of Randall Snyder's "Doc P Funk." Composer Snyder presently teaches The History of Rock at PSC.
Enjoy the video.
Oh, and I also uploaded photographs from Tuesday evening's Show Choir and Jazz Ensemble Spring Show.

Spring Choral and Band Concert
Sunday afternoon, April 25, I attended the Spring Choral and Band Concert held in always busy Peru State Theater.
The afternoon's entertainment began with the Concert Choir.
They filled the theater with their wonderful voices, and I put together a video of three pieces from their program, "Sing With Joy," The Last Words of David," and "Finale from the Gondoliers."
I also posted photographs from the performances of both the Concert Choir and the Band.
After the Concert Choir's final number, the PSC Band took the stage and entertained with a wide range of music, some of which I posted on YouTube.
The video contains selections from the program: The band plays "March" by Alfred Reed; a selection from "Concert Piece for Winds and Percussion" by Robert Pearson--and then Pirates: "He' a Pirate" by Klaus Badlt.
The last piece, "He's a Pirate," comes from the Pirates of the Caribbean symphony, and pirates joined the band, which I enjoyed a great deal.
Yes, I mean "Arrgh as in Pirates" such as Assistant Band Director Ken Meints pictured on the left with his Jimmy Buffet Puffin.
Check out the photographs and pick out your favorite pirate(s). And enjoy the music.
PSC Omaha Alumni Annual Meeting
This past Thursday, April 22, the Peru State College Foundation, headed by Kent Propst, took a bus load of faculty--both active and retired--and staff members to the German American Club in Omaha where the Omaha PSC Alumni held their annual banquet and auction.
As the following photograph indicates, the event drew a big crowd of Peru State College alumni. The "least recent" member of the group graduated in 1948
I enjoyed the chance to say hello to some familiar faces, including Paul Kruse, and Barb and Bob Lewellen, pictured on the right.
The event also provided an excellent setting to connect with graduates from the past sixty years--and they shared some excellent stories about and memories from their years at the college.
I posted quite a few photographs of the banquet and the auction, which raised at least $7,000, putting the Omaha Alumni over $100,000 in funds raised for the Peru State Foundation and the College.
Check out the photographs and see if you recognize graduates and familiar faces.
I enjoyed the evening and hope in the future to bid on one of the vacation packages.

Spring Fling Talent Show
On Wednesday evening, April 21, I helped Dr. Bill Snyder host the Spring Fling Talent Show judged--and what a difficult job this year--by Seth Bingham, Elaine Hanson, and Josh Young.
The evening featured thirteen entertaining presentations, from original songs to step dances, from stand-up comedy, to slam poetry.
I posted photographs from each of the acts.
Choosing winners for best individual performer and for best group proved a daunting challenge, for the show attracted considerable talent.
The judges awarded top prize for a group to Xavier Gibson and Tristan Bassinger for their singing of "I'll Cover You" from the musical Rent.
And top honors for individual performance went to Amanda Pearson-VanderBroek for her I slam poetry performance of her original work.
I enjoyed working with Bill Snyder and thank the folks at CAB for inviting use to take part in the fun.

Momoro Ono Recital
This Tuesday evening, April 20, in the College Theater, Creighton University pianist and Music teacher Momoro Ono thrilled with his brilliant piano play those lucky enough to have attended this special event.
Momoro Ono opened his recital with a Johannes Brahms piece, a performance that stunned everyone, for he delivered the music using only his left hand.
You can experience some of the awe by watching the video that includes three short selections from the piece "Chaconne von J. S. Bach." (Remember to click on 480 for the higher quality.)
I also recorded parts from two other works he presented, this time using both hands, by Joseph Haydn and Robert Shumann.
Enjoy the second video and the photographs from this wonderful evening of music. Wow.
And to learn more about this superb pianist, just click on the following information taken form the program.

Honda Accord VCM
Sorry, dinofl, but the Ridgeline has never had VCM. Only the Pilot & Odyssey have VCM besides the Accord. We are on our second Ridgeline (a 2010--first one was a 2008) and we're VERY pleased with how the engine runs--no vibrations/transitions and NO ECO light! Not so pleased with the mileage though--we average 18-20 mpg in combined driving and might see 21-22 on a long trip at moderate speeds, like under 65 mph.0
remorse1 Posts: 1Honda EX-L V6 - the road noise is killing me. I left the back window opened and the car sounded like it was about to take off like a helicopter. I know the navi is outdated but the large screen and type w/backup monitor is useful. I cannot get comfortable in the seats. I have buyers remorse. I wish I did less research as this was the top pick.0
Almost all modern cars have a problem with open windows, try different combination of windows and you should find one that is less annoying. My 2010 EX-L V6 has way to much tire noise, as did my 2008. Seats may not be the best but I've done some 8-10 hour drives and found them OK.0
dinofl Posts: 53My bad. My cousin thought it had VCM because he had similar problems as me before his tranny went. Glad you like your Ridgeline. I have always liked Honda products until my coupe and vcm. Best of luck.0
Road, tire & wind noise are all problems with newer Hondas. One reason is a lack or a reduction of soundproofing material. Saves money and weight I suppose, but the high level of noise on the highway is most annoying.
I stripped the trunk and removed the rear seat in our 2010 Accord EX-L 4-door and glued in a huge bunch of Dynamat on all the exposed surfaces. This dropped the noise level to the point that it is now tolerable. It took an entire afternnon & evening to get the job done, but you can have Dynamat installed by some car stereo shops--expensive though. They can also do the inside of the doors & entire floor if you want more noise reduced. If you don't like noise, Dynamat is your friend!
When I removed the back seat, there was only one very small strip, about 2" x 12-15" of what could be considered sound deadening material stuck on the sheet metal. I was able to simply pry it out and toss it away. I can't imagine it deadened or reduced much noise as it was less than 1/4" thick and resembled dried mud.
High levels of road, tire & wind noise was mentioned by Consumer Reports as one of the reasons they no longer recommend the new 2011 Honda Civic. Older Civic models had been high on CR's list for many years.
What the heck is going on at Honda?0
What the heck is going on at Honda? That is the question that many are asking. When I'm watching their marketing materials on TV as well as print, I see a company that is resting on its laurels. With tag lines like Accord – The One and Only – I'm reminded that this claim is the result of accolades accumulated over many years. If they were to cull items from recent reviews they would read something like: Accord – a decent choice but no longer the top in its class. They worked hard and rose to the top as a result of that hard work. Over the last few years there has been little innovation and their vehicles now trail the competitors in area like automatic transmissions and ride refinement. To achieve the robust connectivity offered in many Hyundai's and Ford and GM products, you would have to move to an Acura. While most of us want to remain loyal to the brand, in today's economy we all want the most for our hard earned dollars and to get that we may be forced to bypass Honda in the future.0
First, we had a great buying experience: Internet quote for $5,000 off sticker. The car is beautiful with White Orchid Pearl paint over tan leather. All driving inputs are superior--acceleration, braking, steering and suspension. Space is commodious. I am 6'-4" and fit in the back comfortably. Granted, we only have 3,000 miles on this 2011 EX-L but it hasn't burned one drop of oil. It is sad to see other owners displeased but the point is, they are not all lemons.0
The newest generation Accord is still a very nice vehicle, but it is being surpassed (easily?) by its competition. We still enjoy ours and expect to keep it awhile longer, but it may likely be our last Honda. There's no valid reason, except brand loyalty, to keep buying inferior products. Honda really needs to stop resting on its past successes/laurels and start building vehicles that are at least competitive in the marketplace. I have read that Honda's new CEO, a fellow named Ito, is primarily to blame for the lack of innovation & state-of-the-art features in Honda products. If true, Honda's board should immediately replace him.
The seemingly never-ending problem with excessive wind, tire & road noise is SO easy to fix, yet Honda won't step up and do what is needed. This issue will continue to plague Honda and become a primary reason potential buyers reject their products. IMHO, this issue shouldn't exist, especially in cars that were much quieter in the past.
As a side note, this particular topic has seemed to attract an unusually high number of dissatisfied Accord owners, especially those with VCM problems/issues that Honda refuses to fix. Perhaps that's due to not having a different topic on this forum where problems/issues can be openly discussed/debated. Whatever. It's good for the soul to have a place to vent & rant, especially if you have been treated badly.0
jmillerjmiller Posts: 113IMO - Honda is discovering that you can't cheapen the cost of the product without buyers noticing the results. A missing courtesy light here, more hard and cheap plastic there, topped off with less attention to detail on the design.
If it's a person's first Accord, they don't notice. But if you have owned an Accord from certain prior generation models, it's painfully obvious.
The car has gone from a slightly tight interior size with nice features/performance/build quality, to a butt large living room sofa (ala the Crown Victoria) with any model other than the EX or higher model feeling like a rental car due to strippage of features. That my opinion, as I have an 08 Accord EX-L V6 NAVI, and got an a 08 LX loaner from the dealer during service - BLEAH!
The Acura TSX is what an Accord is overseas, and seems more in tune with what prior generations were. I should have looked at it, but I didn't expect the Accord to have certain issues, but it does.
It also seems like the dealers are turning into the stereotypical domestic car dealers of old - feeding people bs on service issues, getting back into pushing packages of services for mileage intervals (instead of what the auto maker recommends), etc.
And yes, every time I drive a decent highway trip, the VCM is right there bogging in and out, along with the rear package shelf rattle the dealer applied the supposed fix for. Top off with the brakes shuddering in hot weather on high speed braking, yet that issue doesn't seem to present on lower speed driving - weird.0
robtroxel Posts: 103You really sumed it up nicely about how Honda has cheapened up the Accord! My son was looking for a replacement car for his 99 Civic Lx which gave him 200,000 miles of dependable travel. Wanting to upgrade, he went looking at the V6 EXL Accord. He test drove the vehicle then asked me my thoughts. His observations he noticed the "hunting" and the constant VCM light. He thought the transmission was the issue. Also noticed was the lack of the Key Lock on the seat back, something his Civic had. After learning more about the VCM, he quickly crossed the Accord off the list!
He Ended up with a loaded Toyota Venza (ruled out the ugly slow selling Cross V6)with none of the VCM crap and a six speed auto>>something Honda is trying to avoid! While this may be an apple to an orange comparision, the Toyota V6s has NO VCM, is turbine smooth, with 6 speed auto and gets the same economy!.
Honda is way behind the curve..even consumer Reports said the new Civic is no longer a class leader. The Accord is nothing more than an also ran. Too bad, as I had enoyed many years with the older Accords! Reminds me of how the old GM lost its way>> paving the way for me to go to Honda to begin with! Now GM seems to get it!0
jmillerjmiller Posts: 113Yes, there is no inside key release for the rear seat fold down (you have to pull the release in the trunk) - one more thing that vanished during cost cutting. Though there is a key released pass-through behind the rear armrest for long items (at least on the higher trim lines).
I always notice the VCM, don't need the eco light to tell. The people who pay attention to their cars functioning will notice the vcm easily after driving it a bit. Only reason I haven't traded mine, is the low mileage, and job uncertainty at the moment. Normally it's three years and out for my cars - and lately that's been before the 30K mile mark.
I got a very good price on this car, even with dealer add-ons that I wanted. Trouble is, price is secondary to quality for me. My prior car was a 06 Subaru Outback Wagon XT Limited (4cyl turbo w/five speed manual) - which is a pricy vehicle for it's size. It's sticker in 06 was equal or higher than the 08 Accord EX-l V6 Navi.
This Accord has the most paint flaws of any new car I've had since 96. Kinda sad, but since I had to wait for it to be produced and delivered, I couldn't turn it down for those minor things...
I'm not ready to say GM has 'got it', yet. Have to remember that all the bankruptcy did was allow them to cut their personnel costs. It didn't suddenly create great designs, better quality, etc. The models on sale now are from before the re-org, and while they may be OK, it remains to be seen if GM will put too many incentives on them - resulting in the same 'dime a dozen' issue when getting rid of a used one (low resale).0
Thank goodness - or I would be driving something else.0
Pilot now has VCM too.0
While Toyota has had its own issues regarding quality, I applaud your son's decision. The VCM is not "seamless" as Honda advertises - how they get away with that I have no idea. We have had 14 Honda/Acura products over 30 years and NEVER a problem with any until the '08 EXL V6 with VCM. The hunting drove me nuts. And gas mileage was nothing to write home about. At 28k it went berserk - lights flashing on the dash, speedometer stop working, D light flashing , VSA light flashing, and the tranny downshifting into what seems to be 3rd gear - all by itself. Fortunately it happened within about 20 miles from home and we were able to limp - literally - back. Paragon Honda replaced input/output sensors and pronounced it fine - I drove it - uh-uh. Was not downshifting when slowing down and going around a corner - stayed in 5th. They wouldn't listen to me - so bye bye. Overall, I would say the car was not the best built Honda I have ever had - certainly the biggest and nicest equipped - but the ONLY Honda product EVER to scare me that it would leave us stranded, and that includes a 1990 Legend with 180,000 miles on it that ran like a top when we got rid of it. Our newest acquisition - 2008 Acura RL with Tech package gets BETTER mileage running on all 6 cylinders at 75-80 than the Honda did with 3!!! Never again VCM for me. Interesting that if VCM is such a great idea, why it is not on any Acura - including the V6 TSX - the European Honda.0
That's not weird at all. You have to sand the crud off of your rotors that have built up from the pads. Normal.0
GM seems to get it? By going bankrupt and claiming all of the new problems their cars are having are the customer's problem because the "new" GM didn't sell them the car? Right. GM is a joke. You couldn't pay me to drive that trash.0
I recently purchased this 2011 honda accord from Tempe Honda. Currently it has approximately 4000 miles. Last week all of sudden my check engine light came on and it started to flashing and my car started to shake badly. I took it to the dealership and they said one of the cylinder was misfiring. They kept the car for 3 days and told me that cylinder 2 valves were too tight and this was causing the cylinders to misfire. They claimed adjusting the valve got rid of the issue. I came home happily and the next day when I was going to work it happened again. I took it back to the dealership and the service manager refused to take the car back. I told him I am not driving this car until you fix it and he told me if I can reproduce the problem he would take the car back to the shop for repair. I drove with him for half an hour and was able to reproduce the problem multiple times. after 2 days the service manager got back to me saying the problem is in cylinder 1. they replaced some valve controls to fix this issue. The dealer has driven 200 miles and they could not reproduce the scenario. I got my car back yesterday.
Today I have been noticing this new problem. The car vibrates when I am driving on the freeway. At this point I am not sure what else I can do to fix this issue.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Is it the V6-4-3? Sorry to hea that - will probably have to seek relief under the lemon law or with the Honda zone rep. Check my postings and experience with the V6 - I got rid of it and wholesaled it on the internet to a dealer in TX. Thank God. What a piee of crap. Honda is committing false advertising about this engine and its "seamless operation"and doing a GREAT disservice to a loyal customer base , of which I was one - since 1981.
Yes, I won an Acura RL - made by Honda - but let me tell you - there is a WORLD of difference between them - and it is made in Japan. Tight and solid as a any German car.0
dilt1 Posts: 11for those suffering with engine and oil consumption issues, please take a look at the following two links for service bulletins 10-033 and 11-033.
I had the same problems with my 2010 V6 and the oil consumption seems to have abated with no noticeable consumption noted over the last 2000 miles.
Insist the appropriate service bulletin(s) are installed in your vehicle. Print out the bulletins and take them with you. Hard to argue when you have the documentation in hand.0
It is a V6. I drive 35 miles one way to work. My both hands are numb because of the engine vibration. I am going to call the dealership again and see what kind of excuse they provide at this time. I don't know how to pursue the lemon law. Do you know how can I file my case to the court?
Thanks in advance,0
hiblade48 Posts: 2I am curious if it is possible to use the computer ( or what ever controls the VCM ) off of a Honda coupe on the sedan as I understand the coupe does not have VCM. Any tech experts out there ?0
good luck with that - may have tried with no success. Only chance at satisfaction - a 6 speed coupe, or another brand of car. I bought a used 2008 RL for $25K with 18K on it about 6 months ago and LOVE it. NO VCM, 29 mpg hwy at 75-80, AWD, Bose 5.1, Navi, rear seat AC, rear window shades, power rear window shade, etc etc. Would NEVER buy any car with VCM again0
Automatic coupe has it - only 6 speed manual does not. And no, you cannot modify the auto with the manual unit. If unhappy with VCM, and I certainly undertand why you would be, you'll have to get rid of the car.0
bdf16 Posts: 2I had a transmission problem with a new Honda in 2002 and filed a complaint with the better business bureau; they were a great help. Each state has its own lemon laws.0
Our 2011 Accord EX-L V6 VCM that we bought in March now has 5500 miles on it and runs beautifully. It has burned about 1/4 of a quart. We have left the factory fill in as directed by our dealer figuring their insistence on this matter was part of the factory's response to the issue. The MM still shows 30%. I plan to do the oil changes myself with the first one at 6,000 miles. I will be using Honda Genuine Full Synthetic 0W-20 and OE filters. I'm thinking about doing an oil analysis just to see what's in this magical elixer from the factory. FWIW, this car is driven nearly 100% in the city with many short trips of ten miles and less. This MO is supposedly hard on the oil. Could excessive consumption be related to long stretches of highway miles and three cyl operation?0
temj12 Posts: 450This is not excessive usage, by any means. If you were using a quart in 2,000 miles, that would be, maybe, excessive for a Honda. If my 4 cylinder used that much, I would not think anything of it. Mine does not use any, but that much usage would not bother me at all.0
Of course it's not, hence the title of my post. The point is, not all VCMs are having problems. At least not yet.0
Our 2010 V6 EX-L Sedan has just over 14K miles on it. I recently changed the oil myself after about 6000 miles on the last oil. The oil level was down about 1/2 quart before the change. To me, that's minimal oil consumption! BTW- I'm using Mobil 1 0-20w full synthetic.
I don't see a connection between oil consumption and the "usual" problems people report with VCM. I also agree that lots of V6-VCM owners experience minimal problems. If they are experiencing problems, those people don't post on this forum. I still maintain that since I can feel the transitions periodically, I won't buy another Honda with VCM.0
Thanks for the update. My 2011 has 5500 miles is still running on the factory fill and has burned about 1/4 of a qt. I will be doing a DIY OC at about 6000 miles with Honda Gen-U-ine Full Synthethic 0W-20 and OE filter.0
elliott2 Posts: 64My 2008 Accord VCM has been using about a quarter of oil every 2,000 miles. The torque converter went out and was replaced a couple of months ago. The number 1 cylinder began misfiring a couple of weeks ago and the coil needed replaced (40,000 miles). The rear brakes went out at 12,000. In all honesty, I could not recommend the current model of Accords to anyone and would recommend that potential buyers look elsewhere until Honda replaces the VCM and gets serious about returning to the quality cars they used to produce.
Just got rid of the Accord yesterday and will not be getting another Honda until they get their act together. Good luck to those of you who have the current Accord.0

The Maker movement is a growing, global collective of people committed to tinkering, building, programming, and developing technology for personal rather than industrial applications. I am interested in the Maker movement both as a participant and as a researcher, taking part in Maker Faires while also trying to understand the impact and potential of the movement.
While I interned at Intel, I was responsible for coordinating the company's sponsorship of 2012 Bay Area Maker Faire. This included organizing volunteers for Education Day as well as developing and running the activities for the Intel booth, Make Your World, in conjunction with The Lab at Rockwell Group. I undertook a similar role at the 2013 Portland Mini-Maker Faire, where we ran the "Sketch It, Play It" activity to introduce kids to the basics of circuit creation and conductivity. I also maintained a personal presence at both events, under the auspices of Tanenbaum Fabrications and the Steampunk Academy, running workshops on Steampunk prop making and jewelry making using electronic components..
In the last year I have been involved with several Portland area programs aimed at introducing high school girls to Make-related topics like 3D printing, laser cutting, programming, game design and electronics: the "Girls get IT" summer camp and the ChickTech: High School weekend workshop. I am currently doing contract work with the Corporate Affairs Group at Intel to develop curriculum as part of their involvement with the Maker Education Initiative; specifically, I am working on a summer-camp style workshop to introduce middle-school girls to the tools and ideas of the maker movement.
For the 2013 CHI conference, I co-authored a paper called Democratizing Technology: Pleasure, Expressiveness and Utility in DIY and Maker Culture. This paper takes a critical look at the political, social, and economic systems that impact (and are impacted) by making. It is grounded in ethnographic work within maker communities in both the developed and the developing worlds, and it advances a view of making as an international phenomenon with enormous implications for how technology is designed, manufactured, and distributed. As a professional researcher I have worked as an advocate for the maker community, and for the importance of making, while also working to build a more critical understanding of the impact of these practices.

Advanced Crankcase Ventilation
Vacuum Trap
Medium to High Vacuum Filtration
Vapor Condensing Systems
Cooling Technology
Operating Principle
Solberg's vapor condensing trap systems are designed to protect equipment from harmful vapors and liquids that can break down pump oils and destroy a pump's inner workings. Vapor removal is accomplished through transitioning a substance from a gaseous state to a liquid or solid state and collecting any condensed material that accumulates.
- Process flow containing vaporized contaminant enters chilled vessel.
- Flow is directed through an efficient heat exchanger pack and coolant jacket combination or a cooling coil system which reduces temperatures below a contaminant's boiling point and facilitates condensing of vapor.
- Final stage dual-type activated carbon filter element or demister captures residual uncondensed vapors and particulate.
- Note: System effectiveness depends on several factors including the physical properties of the compound being transitioned, concentration levels, process temperature, process flow and pressure levels.
Contact factory for more information and to provide application specific data. You can also fill out the Requirements and Recommendation form on the right bottom bar and send it to Solberg. See here to contact Solberg.

Kate Hudson Shares An Adorable Photo Of Her Son On Instagram
Kate Hudson has shared an adorable throwback picture of her 6-year-old son Bingham as the two lay poolside in Greece.
In a 2016 interview with Marie Claire, Kate Hudson revealed that despite splitting from Bingham's father – rocker Matt Bellamy – she is embracing being an "OK mum."
The star also shares an older son Ryder, 13, with ex and frontman of The Black Crowes, Chris Robinson.
"I don't try to sugarcoat things. I'll say, 'I'm doing the best I can,'" says the single mum of two boys. "I like cooking, I like presenting. I like it to be an experience and [my kids] help me with it, but if they want something after that, I'll be like, 'Look, I'm placing a meal out for you like a king. I can't do everything. I'm going to have to be the OK mum.'"

I whipped up some delicious and wickedly rich chocolate chip biscuits and watched them disappear in a flash.
These little treats are utterly addictive- topped with creamy milk chocolate they are crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside.
They are the perfect biscuits for chocolate lovers. They ooze chocolatey happiness.
I followed the NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk recipe and simply spread melted milk chocolate for the icing.

This Series 1.5 E-Type coupe's rare exterior color, interior cabin restoration condition, fit, and finish of the aluminum body and frame makes this an irresistible buy. This 1968 Jaguar XKE E-Type 4.2L coupe, painted Golden Sand with an appetizing reupholstered tan leather cabin, is being sold through Russo & Steele next month in Newport Beach. The 1968 Series 1.5 is desirable for being the final year of those sleek thin tail lights that Jaguar replicated in their F-Type.
The amount of pictures speaks to how proud the owner and auction house are of this E-Type's condition. Look at the three-quarter angle photo above that shows off flawless body alignment. The paint and chrome look new too! In the limited description it's called a "Survivor," implying the Jag's been well cared for. Still, I would suggest combing through the nooks and crannies to see if they are in the same spotless condition. Hire a specialist for the auction to inspect frame, suspension, and fitment so that you can bid with confidence.
The listing also mentions pre-inspections of both the front and rear-end, which do look impeccably aligned, and could allude to the fact that it lived a life without seeing a body shop. As a Jaguar, though, it must have seen the repair shop once or twice to keep that straight-six humming under the bonnet. Engine bay photos show the engine isn't the cleanest, but compared to comps selling online now, it's in the top percentile. Mileage hasn't been quoted, though all contact points, including the steering, appear lightly used since the cabin was restored.
So, what do you think? How much would you bid to drive this E-Type coupe home from California next month?
Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>

Based on a true story, The Zookeeper's Wife portrays Antonina and Jan Żabiński, a Christian couple and zookeepers in Warsaw, Poland. When the Germans invade and start World War II, Antonia and Jan refuse to stand-by in the face of so much suffering and persecution. They join the resistance, and use the zoo as a hiding place and refuge to save hundreds of Jews from the Nazis – risking their own lives in the process.
The film is a testament to the power of compassion, faith, and courage within us all. Watch the official trailer and check back for more on this upcoming movie.

Somedays, writing is the hardest thing ever to do. Like today. I opened this page because I wanted to write, because I needed to get stuff out of my head and onto paper, but the moment the document began to open, every part of my body began to resist.
It's take a huge effort to force myself to even type these words and as I'm hitting each key, I'm telling myself "Just finish this thought and then you can stop."
I walk past a mirror and the woman staring back at me is not me. It's someone else. I don't know if she's better off than I am, happier than I am, more successful, more content, more anything. I simply don't know her. The moment I walk out of the reflection, it feels like she's moved on in her life as I am in mine and we'll never know who is doing what or why.
It's like when you see someone hurting and you don't know how to make it stop for them. But while they hurt, you hurt – not necessarily because you love them, but because you're human.
I hate pain. I always have. I hate hurting, and i hate seeing other people hurt. I don't care if I know them or not, but if I allow myself to look long enough and see the pain, then I start paining too. It eats into everything I do and see. I become clumsy and dull and lethargic and nothing seems to go right or feel right until I can somehow forget the pain or see them back to normal again.
Some days, I wonder what it would be like to live a life that was tipped in the favour of joy. Where everyone was simply happy with the way things are. Where laughter and understanding, peace and appreciation are not exceptions but norms. I might not fit in that kind of a life too easily; probably start looking over my shoulder and wondering when the Reality Switch would be turned on.
I wonder, were human being really created to be completely and totally at ease? Would we live constructive lives if we never had the challenge of dis-ease? I don't know. What I do know is that my fingers are demanding that promise I made them, and I've finished more than one thought in the process.
