This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

993 Queen St. W.
This storied building has gone from a "Dream" to "Reality". The Candy Factory was the brain child of Harry Stinson, a long time visionary when comes to interesting and innovative spaces. My brother and I were very proud to be an intrical part in the start of the sales & marketing behind this magnificent development. After several long years of inner turmoil between the development team and the building owners Metro Ontario Group, the Candy Factory finally was completed in 1999/2000. The Candy Factory is most certainly the most notable condominium development in Toronto. Blessed with spectacular and classic loft architecture, this building has become Toronto's Most popular Loft residence.
The Candy Factory combines the charm and character of a 100+ year old brick warehouse which spans a full city block at Queen St. W. and Shaw Street, that was once the Cede Candy Co. Factory (famed Halloween candies known as Rockets & Fizzies were manufactured here). There are 121 large lofts in an over six storey building. The ceiling heights are mainly a lofty 12ft. high. Most penthouses feature 2 levels with large terraces off the upper level. Some other features of The Candy Factory include real hardwood strip flooring, raised bedrooms, some exposed brick, beautiful exposed wood post & beams, fabulous exposed wood ceilings, floating spiral ductwork, granite counters, huge oversized windows, underground parking, plus much more. A number of suites feature gas kitchens and fireplaces. Due to its enormous size (200,000 square feet) The Candy Factory offers many amenities.
The Candy Factory has 1 bedrooms, 1 bedrooms plus den, and 2 bedrooms. The suites range in size from 800 to 3000 square feet.
Comprised of different sizes with incredible terraces, two storey, spiral staircase, great views, lots of light. They range in size from 1,000 sf to 3,000 plus sf, and prices range from approx. $600,000 to $1,000,000+ to buy and approx. $3,000 to $6,000/mth to lease.

Dr. Sadik said that she had been surprised by the recent controversies raised by the Programme of Action and the negotiating process. She explained that each country will decide for itself which recommendations in the text are relevant to its needs, and how to interpret them. She also said the principle of sovereignty underlies the whole text and the language of the document is framed so as to be acceptable to the widest possible spectrum of approaches to population. She hoped that all countries represented will reach full agreement. She added that the significance of this Conference would depend on the effectiveness with which commitments are translated into action.
General statements were then delivered by the representatives of Algeria, on behalf of the G-77, Germany, on behalf of the EU, Mexico, China, Kenya, Argentina, the IMF, Tuvalu, Chile and Spain. These countries highlighted the changes in the population situation since the last Population Conference and referred to: the centrality of the human being; the globalization of the situation; and their social and cultural particularities. A number of delegations reiterated their opposition to abortion.

Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
The Maximus Rider Penis Girth Extension by Cal Exotics is a great design for those who want to gain queen-sized girth, but can be too snug for some and creates a numbness making love-making uncomfortable. It does have a ribbed shaft that feels amazing if you can handle the girth, but the vibrating bullet is lacking. Not a product I feel can be enjoyed by the general toy-lover.
I really like sleeves and this one is my new favorite. The ridges are great for the girls who like textures and the on off feature of the clitoral vibe is a nice new feature that I hadn't seen before this toy. I would suggest this one to all beginners to experienced sleeve user.
The Maximus Rider provides lots of extra girth for your erection, plus a very pronounced ribbed texture which some may find very stimulating. There's a well-positioned clitoral stimulator which automatically vibrates when pressed, although the vibrations are on the weak side.
If you have never tried an erection enhancer sleeve, a ring with a vibrating clit attachment, what comes on each time it hits you, a girth enhancer, or lots of texture before, this is the perfect, very affordable little one for you! But know that the switch will break off very soon, and it won't help your love stay hard at all because of being very stretchy! For free it was a good pick, but won't be used much in the future in my case.
Maximus Enhancement System - Crystal Rider is textured sleeve that adds girth, texture, support, and stamina. It has an attached vibrator that doesn't like to stay in place. I like the design and my partner enjoyed the texture, but the vibrator part doesn't work so well.

Gay marriage proposals backed by Brighton and Hove council
7:51am Friday 15th June 2012
7:51am Friday 15th June 2012
Gay marriage proposals have been unanimously backed by politicians in Brighton and Hove.
The Government's Equalities Office began a 12-week consultation in April and it closed yesterday.
A letter on behalf of all 54 Brighton and Hove city councillors has been sent to Whitehall supporting plans to let people "convert" current civil partnerships into civil marriage.
It also includes allowing same sex couples to have a civil marriage in register offices or other approved premises.
However, under Government plans there will be no change to religious marriages.
Council leader Jason Kitcat said: "On behalf of our city's large LGBT community I hope this will deliver much needed change while allowing existing faiths and traditions to continue unaffected."

Parents can take all the fun out of sports.
A California Little League coach is suing one of his 14-year-old players for unintentionally hitting him with his helmet after a walk-off hit, according to KCRA 3 in Sacramento.
The coach of the Lakeside Little League team, Alan Beck, claims the boy "carelessly" tossed his helmet in the air in celebration, and it struck Beck's Achilles tendon and tore it. Beck is seeking more than $500,000 for pain and suffering and an additional $100,000 for lost wages and medical bills.
"I don't think the boy meant to harm him," said Gene Goldsman, Beck's attorney. "But, this wasn't a part of the game. A guy who volunteers his time to coach should not be subjected to someone who throws a helmet in the manner that he did. What the kid did, it crossed the line."
The player's father, Joe Paris, said his son was racing toward home plate to score the winning run when he tossed his helmet in excitement.
"At first I thought it was joke," Paris said Tuesday. "Now, I think it's absurd."
The case is scheduled to go before a judge in March, but legal experts cited in the report say Beck's case is unlikely to stand up in court.

With Prayer, Fear and Pain Soon Pass
One Sunday a sick cat got into our house. It meowed loudly and strangely, and it would not go out of the house. I was afraid of the cat, so I decided to pray. When I ended my prayer, Mama had been able to get the cat out of the house.
Mama recently had a painful operation. I prayed hard that the operation would go well. When she came home from the hospital, I saw her crying, and she said she was in pain. I asked her if she wanted me to say a prayer, and she said yes. I knelt down and asked Heavenly Father for her pain to pass. When I ended the prayer, my mother was smiling, and she hugged and kissed me.
I know that Heavenly Father is loving and kind, and I know that when I am afraid or in pain, I can pray to Him and the fear and the pain soon pass.

WASHINGTON (Feb. 23)
Secretary of State George Shultz maintained today that the U.S. Consulate in East Jerusalem acted independently of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv because the area it is "addressing" is "technically regarded as occupied territory."
"The West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem are occupied by Israel," Shultz said in reply to questions from Rep. Larry Smith (D. Fla.) during his testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee's subcommittee on international operations. "We have taken that position ever since the '67 war," Shultz said.
Smith said the independence of the Consulate in East Jerusalem from the Embassy has caused "major problems" for U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis. Shultz said the East Jerusalem Consulate reports directly to the State Department and not to the Embassy because the U.S. believes the occupied territory is not part of Israel.
When Shultz was asked if the U.S. has consulates in any other non-country, he replied "Hong Kong:" Smith noted that Hong Kong is accepted as a British Crown Colony.
Shultz also rejected a suggestion by Smith that the U.S. cut off economic and technical aid to countries that seek to expel Israel and other countries from international forums. The Secretary said such a move might put the U.S. in an "economic war" with all Moslem countries and all African countries. He said it was frequently difficult to "pin down" which country was responsible for "doing what" at various international conferences.
Although Israel was not mentioned by name, Shultz stressed that "we oppose" any move to expel any country from the United Nations. He noted that the U.S. left the International Telegraphic Union conference in Nairobi last summer, from which Israel was barred and that it made it clear that it would leave the UN General Assembly last fall and take its contributions with it. After that warning, attempts to bar Israel from the General Assembly rapidly evaporated.
Shultz noted at the same time, however, that the UN makes a "positive contribution" to the international community although, he said, at times it is "very easy to get exasperated with the UN."
He recalled that when he became Secretary of State last summer "I suggested we ought to have a ceasefire from the UN on resolutions about Lebanon because we spent more time coping with these resolutions than we did working on the problem itself." Shultz revealed that the U.S. had stopped UN relief funds for Lebanon from falling into the hands of the Palestine Liberation Organization. "We raised Cain about it, " he said.
While discussing the difficulty he found in assessing the opinions of various groups in Central America, Shultz expressed his exasperation with trying to determine the position of PLO chief Yasir Arafat. He noted that he is "constantly following the will-of-the-wisp of Mr. Arafat." He said Arafat's position is "very difficult to pin down."

Fire Sale
To add insult to injury and near death, if I hadn't been gallivanting through the Goddamn stone age all over Washington state, I was going to bottle the mellow Fire Sale Ale. What is Fire Sale Ale, you ask? Or didn't ask? Please don't tell me about Fire Sale Ale? Well, if you insist.
I'm starting to wonder if I like beer at all or if I just like naming it. Hugh Hefeweizen. Short And Stout. Portergeist. Sin. Who knows. Fire Sale is between an ale and a porter in terms of its motif. But I'm here to talk etymology.
There was a bug in the Army Game beta that made crawling sound really loud. If you were crawling through the underbrush, ostensibly a stealthy maneuver, it sounded as though you were playing a drum set in the middle of the forest on a clear night. You could hear them miles away. "There's Crawly Bob," we'd say. "He's crawling up a storm."
That part isn't particularly auspicious. Follow me, here.
Moonbase Commander created many words. The opponent's primary hub, the object of all your violence, quickly became known as a Hoho. Not only have Hohos historically been delicious, it also stands for Heart Of His Operation, which is demonstrably true. There is also a type of remote bomb that can move through shields, called a Crawler. This was truncated to Crawly, and then became Crawly Bob for some reason. It even moved forward to Crawli Baba And The Forty Thieves, but this proved unwieldy in common usage. Also, it didn't seem quite accurate.
Something one can do in desperation (or even just for fun!) is send waves of crawlers after an opponent. This quickly became correlated with Going Out Of Business mythology, like on those crazy mattress commercials. The Boss is out of town! Crazy deals! We've gone insane, and we're passing the savings on to you.
A crawler rush eventually became known as a Fire Sale.

John Obi Mikel and Juan Mata set to sit out Manchester United cup clash
Roberto Di Matteo will have to decide whether to leave
John Obi Mikel and
Juan Mata out of Chelsea's Capital One Cup clash with Manchester United.
The pair were always likely to be rested tonight but after Sunday's league game with United, the Blues boss also has to take into account their emotional state as they were the players who referee Mark Clattenburg reportedly used 'inappropriate language' towards.
Branislav Ivanovic, Fernando Torres and John Terry will all be suspended, while Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard will miss out through ankle and calf injuries respectively.
Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo, said: 'It is our fourth game in 10 days and they have all been big games, so we are looking to freshen the team up a little bit for sure, and also put a couple of youngsters in.
'When you play Man United it is always a big game. I hope the supporters get behind the team, the young players especially, and push us on to a win.
Cesar Azpilicueta, Daniel Sturridge, Oriel Romeu and 18-year-old Brazilian Lucas Piazon are all expected to start for the Blues tonight.
'They are very good players and they are young but they have a little bit of experience,' added Di Matteo.

I had Radiesse injected on my right cheekbone to hide a small scar I had about three years ago. The Radiesse caused a lump to appear and seemed quite apparent which made me self-conscious. I wanted to make the lump disappear and I was going to have some steroids injected to help reduce the lump.
After hearing it was potentially dangerous, I decided to approach my GP, who forwarded me onto an NHS surgeon. The NHS surgeon cut around the initial scar, which was about 2 cm in length and about 3 mm in width running vertically on my cheekbone skin. He then scraped away the lump, which was a lump of tissue formed by the Radiesse.
Then he pulled the skin slightly closer and stitched it up to form a new, less noticeable scar. I feel a slight pulling sensation on that area from time to time. The new scar looks like a line. The lump was directly above my cheekbone, surrounded and probably entwined with the surrounding tissue. It seems as if the Radiesse formed its own collagen, which was the lump.
As the surgeon scraped the lump, it seems like he also reduced the top, curved part of my cheek bone (the right side) as well. Compared to my left cheek bone, the right cheek bone feels more flat.
I was wondering, is there any procedure that can imitate or restore tissue to build up the curve and definition of the cheekbone, as it doesn't look symmetrical and looks slightly flat?
Also, the surgery made my cheek area look swollen, and it still looks swollen a year after the lump removal. My GP said it may be scar tissue in the cheek. If it is indeed scar tissue, is there also any procedure that can identify the scar tissue inside the cheek and have it reduced?
Thank you!

Senator Catharine Young Receives High Ratings from Business Groups
ALBANY – State Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I – Olean) has received high ratings from two business groups for her record to improve the economic climate and support taxpayers in New York State.
Senator Young received a 90 percent rating from The Business Council, the highest awarded in the State Senate. She also was near the top, receiving 88 percent, from Unshackle Upstate.
"In this challenging economy, we need to foster an environment where businesses want to invest in our State, where jobs are being created, and where people want to move in – not away," said Senator Young.
"By working with Governor Cuomo, we were able to demonstrate how government can effectively work to encourage job creation and remove obstacles that stand in the way of economic growth and prosperity," she added.
Both The Business Council and Unshackle Upstate measured state legislators based on their voting records on a variety of bills and the budget. Points were awarded for votes on bills that would help businesses and taxpayers. Unshackle Upstate also awarded points for sponsorship of positive bills and subtracted points for sponsorship of harmful bills. Senator Young sponsored multiple bills to grow jobs and help taxpayers, and she did not sponsor any bills deemed harmful by either group.
These ratings show positive trends in improving the economic climate in New York along with the recognition that legislators need to continue to take actions that promote job growth and provide tax relief, according to both groups.
"The pro-business momentum we saw in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 legislative sessions needs to continue in order for New York to regain its economic strength," said Heather Briccetti, president and CEO of The Business Council.
"We're encouraged to see that many legislators have responded to their constituents by supporting two consecutive fiscally responsible state budgets and several pro-taxpayer initiatives such as the 2-percent property tax cap and pension reform," said Brian Sampson, executive director of Unshackle Upstate.
"We have made great progress in developing a business-friendly climate in New York State over the past two years. More work is still needed, and I will continue to focus on business growth, job creation, tax relief and fiscal responsibility," said Senator Young.
The Business Council of New York State, Inc., is the largest advocacy group for business in New York State, supported by more than 3,000 members that employ approximately 1 million people.
Unshackle Upstate is a non-partisan, pro-taxpayer, pro-economic growth, education and advocacy coalition made up of business and trade organizations from all parts of Upstate New York.

Can squid cry?
Sorry to get all maudlin on you, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw that veritable Mon Calamari Trail of Tears, as Riff Tamson and the Separatists led their prisoners single-file to an underwater detainment camp. The Mon Calamari looked so sad, their bulbous heads lowered in shame over their defeat. If only their constant exposure to water didn't rule out the need for tear ducts! But maybe it's for the best. Maybe their inability to cry allows them to sublimate their grief all the more readily into violence. And, boy, is violence ever what we got on last night's episode!
"Prisoners" began with Karkarodon baddie Tamson leading Anakin, Padmé, Ackbar, and Jar Jar to his torture chamber. So much the better that it was an underwater torture chamber—that means you can menace your foes with electric eels! Kit Fisto, doing his best John Rhys-Davies impression, quickly declared the obvious: "Ah, eels. Very dangerous." (Surely, fans of the Lucasverse recall Sallah's "Ah, asps. Very dangerous" in Raiders of the Lost Ark.) Much of the Clone Wars series has been devoted to inverting classic moments from the Star Wars movies. In this case, I was sure Tamson was going to say to Anakin before he zapped him with a few thousand volts, "And now my Jedi, we will discuss the location of your hidden rebel prince." At least we now know that Vader can take what he dishes out.
Oh, poor, easily duped Quarren. Did you really think Count Dooku cared about your marginalization in Mon Calamari's politics? Didn't you realize that, um, he's fighting a galaxy-spanning war and the least thing that should worry him is whether you have your tentacles in a knot? And that if he actually does seem to care, he must have an ulterior motive? Of course, Dooku showed his true colors and revealed that Tamson would be in charge on Mon Calamari along with his Karkaradon allies. (Karkaradon is a Latin-scholar-friendly reference to the Carcharadon genus of sharks, of which Great Whites belong.)
See, all along the Separatists just wanted to use the inhabitants of Mon Calamari as slaves. Apparently both native sentient species are of hardy stock, and their unique coral-based ship designs are state-of-the-art. Diehards like myself know that when the Empire finally takes over, the Mon Calamari and Quarren are among the first races to be enslaved—for their engineering skill and shipbuilding prowess. That's why Ackbar & Co.were so eager to join the Rebellion. Actually, Ackbar's military record caught the eye of one Grand Moff Tarkin, so he became the Death Star commander's personal slave. Unfortunately for Mon Calamari, the war didn't end when old Palpy got sent down a reactor shaft and the Ewoks had a drunken orgy. As documented in the brilliantly weird Dark Empire comic series, six years after the Battle of Endor Mon Calamari would become a theater of galactic war again. A resurrected Emperor Palpatine (remember that whole business about his master Darth Plagueis finding a way to cheat death? Palpatine figured that out too.) sent his latest Death Star-caliber superweapons, the World Devastators, to literally gobble up the planet into raw materials for his military war machine. The weapons were stopped in time, but even that wasn't the end of Mon Calamari's misfortune. A hundred years later, the Star Wars: Legacy comic series showed us that the Empire (still around and this time led by the Sith Lord Darth Krayt) would unleash a plague that finally did wipe out all life on the planet. My point here is that at the time of the Clone Wars, these poor squid-headed sentients have no idea what they are really in for in the decades to come. That makes the events of this epic, under-the-sea Clone Wars arc all the more poignant, no?
NEXT: "Torture you? That's a good idea. I like that."

Pratt & Whitney is preparing five more ground-test engines to support seven units already participating in the F135 engine development and demonstration program for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). Two of the five will be used to qualify propulsion-system configuration ahead of planned delivery of the first-flight engine to Lockheed Martin by year's end. More than 3,000 hours of development testing has been completed (and a further 2,000 hours are planned before next year), with overall results said to have met thrust requirements.
Assembly of the first-flight engine will begin in August, with the aircraft scheduled to fly a year later. Production deliveries are slated to start in 2009, three years ahead of operational service. Development testing was preceded by 3,500 hours of ground running and 200 hours of flight in connection with JSF concept demonstration tests for Lockheed Martin and Boeing, including work for the F/A-22 Raptor's F119 engine from which the F135 is derived.
Three F135s have been delivered in conventional takeoff and landing/carrier variant configuration, and three in short takeoff and vertical-landing mode. Accelerated mission testing has begun with both variants, and sea-level and altitude testing are also under way.

At nearly every turn, the script avoided the usual nonsense and instead allowed the characters to work through the issues, argue with each other firmly but rationally, and come to a hard decision.
In the full review, the episode was awarded a score of 8.75 out of 10.
- James Doohan (Montgomery Scott) will be retiring from the convention circuit this year and will be making his final appearance in the south-eastern U.S.A at Vulkon Atlanta.

Over on our sister blog jkOnTheRun, James has published a great list of tips on how to be a productive home worker. They include:
- Set up a comfortable home office
- Make a separate work zone
- Music can play a big role
- Software tools are key
- Keep a real work schedule
- Get out with people
- Dress the part
I agree with all of his tips, but especially "Get out with people" (working in isolation over long periods can get me down and damage my productivity) and "Dress the part" (getting properly dressed every morning sets me up for the day as it means that it's time to work). For more detail on why each of these points is important, read James' post.

It's A Best Friend Thing
Friends are the greatest.
They make us laugh, listen to our problems and offer advice that others may be too scared to deliver. All friends are important and have something unique to share. But how do you know if you are attached to a friend for life? A guide at what makes a best friend simply the best.
In social situations, humans are hesitant to take the last of something. The last veggie on the party tray, the last cookie or that last slice of pizza. A best friend does not hesitate in taking the last of something, and will likely taunt you while devouring its entirety.
The Pop In.
A courteous call, text or email usually proceeds a visit to somebody's house. A best friend shows up unexpectedly, usually without knocking. But don't worry, they will make their presence known… by yelling, interrupting or frantically talking with their hands.
Best friends except you to keep an array of tasty snacks on hand and have no problem rummaging through your fridge and pantry when their hunger pain strikes. Finders keepers in the snack seeking — everything is fair game!
A Solid Reference.
Say a stranger wanted to know a little about you. If they asked a family member or friend, they'd probably hear about your awesome achievements, beaming personality and infectious sense of humor. A best friend would impulsively recite that embarrassing story you've been trying to forget and probably even show a photo as solid evidence to the event.
From finishing eachother's thoughts to not speaking at all! Many times words are just unnecessary. A glance, nundge, the look… you are so in synch with each other, you often creep others out.
A friend would rush to reimburse you for that tab you picked up when they forgot their wallet. With a best friend, you never really pay eachother back for anything. It just all evens itself out!
Every family has their quirks. Your family doesn't even attempt to behave or hide their weirdness when your best friend is around, and it's not uncommon that they will ask how your bestie is doing more than how you are.
Your sense of humor would probably send the general public running. A best friend not only laughs, but engages in the ludicrous conduct with you, egging you on to keep it going far past the point of funny.
Friends will courteously make plans with you for the upcoming weekend. Lunch dates, movies, festivals — a best friend just knows wherever you go, they go, and will show up at your house every weekend, ready for anything.
A friend will get dressed, shower and brush their teeth before meeting up. A best friend wakes up at your house, rolls out of bed and refuses to change out of sweats for the day, regardless of potential public appearances.
In honor of International Friendship Day, we encourage you to show some love to your best friends. Without them life would be just too easy.
Psst! Click here for fun homemade gift ideas for your BFF.

Remembrance of Wars PastNews Abroad
First there was the annual day of remembrance, Veterans' Day, commemorating the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, when World War I ended. A week later, President Bush was concluding his first visit to Vietnam, inevitably bringing to the fore questions about parallels between the American war there and the war in Iraq.
A week ago Sunday, it was the huge war that occurred between those two conflicts that was remembered as the length of the current war surpassed the time that the United States was involved in World War II. That same weekend, any argument that Iraq has not descended into full civil war lost whatever shred of credibility it still had.
"History," Mark Twain famously said, "doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."
President Bush and his party attempted during the recent campaign to persuade the American people that his war rhymes with World War II, but the actual echoes from that conflict ended three-and-a-half years ago when Bush stood in front of a "Mission Accomplished" banner. Aside from the length of the wars, the only striking rhyme of the current war with that which ended six decades ago is that we have adopted some of the standards we had condemned in our enemies. In World War II we were rightly horrified when the Nazis targeted civilian populations. Our response went by such names as Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Iraq War rhymes of letting our wicked enemies set the standards are Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, "no habeas corpus," and water-boarding.
The historical rhymes between Vietnam and Iraq are more numerous. "Weapons of Mass Destruction," "Ties to al Qaeda," and "mushroom cloud" don't rhyme acoustically with "Gulf of Tonkin Incident," but they all rhyme historically. Lie, obviously, rhymes with itself.
Likewise, quagmire, disaster, foolhardy, senseless, and a host of other words apply equally to both wars.
McNamara does not sound much like Rumsfeld, but the historical rhyme between these arrogant and misguided Defense secretaries is plain to the eye, if not the ear.
The sound of the intellectual architects of the wars—the "Best and the Brightest" advisers Lyndon Johnson inherited from John F. Kennedy and the neo-conservatives who assured George W. Bush that Iraq would be a "cakewalk"—jumping ship and leaving a Texan president alone at the helm of his sinking warship is almost identical: Plop! Flop!
The president faced several queries in Hanoi about the Vietnam and Iraq wars, but the most pertinent one remained unasked. The increasingly Americanized culture and capitalistic economy evident in Hanoi begs the question: How would Vietnam be different or worse today if the United States had never fought its war there, or had departed in 1966, when Republican Sen. George Aiken of Vermont suggested that we should "declare victory and get out"? If the answer is, it seems to be, "Not significantly," then for what did nearly 60,000 Americans die?
Unfortunately, there are also important aspects of the current war that do not rhyme historically with Vietnam. Foremost among them is that leaving the hornet's nest that Bush foolishly poked in Iraq will have much worse consequences than did the very belated departure from the situation created by a similar imprudent action by Johnson. In both cases, the United States was in fact fighting against one of its stated objectives: to prevent the spread of a dangerous enemy. Both Ho Chi Minh and Saddam Hussein were brutal dictators, but each was the best means of maintaining a unified nation to check the expansion of a more dangerous neighbor: China and Iran. Leaving Vietnam meant that Ho would unify the country, but the early American success in the conventional war in Iraq removed Saddam and now what will be left behind is a dismembered non-nation that assures Iranian domination of the region.
But will the result be any different if we stay longer? If not, clearly we must leave quickly, before more of our troops are killed and maimed unnecessarily.
What must be understood is that this disastrous outcome is the result of the terrible mistake of entering an unnecessary and counterproductive war, not of leaving it when it has become clear that it cannot be won.
As of mid-March, the United States will have been fighting in Iraq's civil war longer than our ancestors fought in our own Civil War. But we would have to stay there for five more years to be in Iraq's civil war as long as we were in Vietnam's. That unhappy milestone would not be reached until December 2011. The eleventh year of this century will be long after the eleventh hour of Mr. Bush's War, which is striking midnight right now.

Howard C Berkowitz - 12/12/2006
Before the question of not keeping the national word is whether or not that word should be offered. All too often, political opportunism and sloganeering leads to an implicit commitment of lives, fortunes, and the honor of others.
Without selecting alliances carefully, there are any number of situations where the justification for being in conflict morphs from even a quasi-purpose into "we will lose face."
Sidney R. Tran - 12/4/2006
This is another commentator who has the special ability for being omniscient to all things in war.
"The increasingly Americanized culture and capitalistic economy evident in Hanoi begs the question: How would Vietnam be different or worse today if the United States had never fought its war there, or had departed in 1966"
To the writer's above question: ever heard of the cold war? Would VC Vietnam have changed to a quasi-market economy if its sponsor the USSR collapsed and the spigot been shut off? How did this miraculous transformation of Communist Viet Nam occur? Maybe, in part it was US engagement in the region by bolstering pro-US allies like Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia. Amazingly, some of these countries were our strongest allies in that contentious War. So, I beg this question to the writer. How would SE.Asia looked like today if we did not intervene in 1965 and let the chips fall where they may? Would the other SE. Asian countries be strong enough to resist communist insurrections on their territory if the US had stayed out in 1965 and not give the much needed support and resolve in fighting the communist menace in the region? Therefore, to answer about the deaths of 60,000 Americans while very tragic indeed, did manage to give a jolt to our allies to throw in their lot to the US. There is no substitute for American resolve and leadership.
"Both Ho Chi Minh and Saddam Hussein were brutal dictators, but each was the best means of maintaining a unified nation to check the expansion of a more dangerous neighbor: China and Iran. Leaving Vietnam meant that Ho would unify the country"
Again, this writer likes to go to history and selects the parts which suit his particular view. Of course there is no insight here rather typical observation through hindsight. To understand fully about history, one has to accept the entire verdict of history in its totality. Fact was Ho's Viet Nam would have never come to power without the help of Mao and his communists. They were the decisive force in providing the material supplies, weaponry, rear base area, and political support to Ho's Viet Minh. This was particularly true at Dien Bien Phu. Without Mao's victory over the KMT in China's Civil War, then Ho and his band of revolutionaries would have been one of many in post-colonial Viet Nam. The writer seems to ignore that reality by just focusing on Viet Nam later alliance with the USSR and its subsequent split with China. This writer lacks the understanding of cause and effect and has confused it with correlation. He seems to forget that dictatorships are inherently unstable. The facade of stability is observed because the problems that underlie such societies are not heard, written, or debated. Denial of problems does not mean the problems do not exist.
We are faced with a very vexing predicament in Iraq as in Vietnam. Mistakes can be very tragic such as the legacy of the "Killing Fields, the "boat people", and "re-education camps". Those things also happened after America's betrayal of trust not just the rapprochement between foes. However mistakes have a wonderful quality of giving lessons to present and future dilemmas. The lesson should be for the US not to abandon an ally because of half-hearted resolve. What message do we convey to world if we do not keep our word and honor?

god for all times
This letter was written on a plane a week ago. I posted it originally on Facebook as a status update. Out of curiosity I took a gander at it again and decided I wanted to share it here. Things are so fluid on the Ol' F-Book that I thought keeping it here would be good to do. Rob's new book, What We Talk About When We Talk About God, offers someting new and something familiar all at once. What I think Rob is doing is not so much giving us new ideas (though, given some of the ecclesial silos many of us have been reared in some of these ideas might seem new). Instead, Rob is lending his voice to many Christians. His pastorally framed theology is just the kind of thing many people have been clamoring for these last several decades. My grandparents would have loved his new book. So would have their parents. I kid you not.
This book is not about a "new" thing. It's simply about God and how we come to know God in this world.

THE WORLD WAR II era Battery Townsley at the Marin Headlands will be open to the public from noon to 4 p.m. Aug. 4, offering a unique peek into the rooms and facilities buried beneath concrete and concealed in the hillside.
Within a 2.5-mile loop walk, the entire family can wander through Battery Townsley, visit the Marine Mammal Center and enjoy a playful romp on Rodeo Beach.
Begin this adventure at the Rodeo Beach parking lot. The half-mile walk up the Coastal Trail to Battery Townsley is a steady uphill climb. On display outside the battery is the huge 16-inch gun barrel that would have been mounted in the turret.
Battery Townsley (open only on the first Sunday of each month.) was completed in 1940. Townsley's two 16-inch caliber guns could launch a 2,100-pound projectile 25 miles. That's as far as the Farallon Islands! Inside the battery are rooms that contained ammunition magazines, gunpowder and crew quarters. It's impressive to see the tracks on the ceiling that were used to hoist and move the heavy projectiles.
From Battery Townsley, follow Old Bunker Road about a mile as it winds down to the Marine Mammal Center. There are beautiful views of Rodeo Beach along the way. Walk up the Marine Mammal Center driveway to the large complex.
The Marine Mammal Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free, and visitors are welcome to explore the center and visit the special art exhibit "The Ghost Below" on display now. This exhibit features 450 pounds of fishing nets and other hazards to marine mammals in the ocean.
Other highlights of a visit to this marine mammal hospital include the pools and pens for sick or injured animals, a kitchen, treatment rooms, an educational classroom and gift shop. During midsummer, visitors might see California sea lions and some northern elephant seals in the pens.
For an enhanced experience at the Marine Mammal Center, there are docent-led tours, audio tours, and adult/family programs. To learn more about these special tours, their fees, and how to register, go to marinemammal.org.
Walk back to the Rodeo Beach or the parking lot by following the paths and small streets between the buildings at the Fort Cronkhite.
To reach Rodeo Lagoon parking area, heading south on Highway 101, exit at the last Sausalito exit before the Golden Gate Bridge. Turn left at the stop sign and then right onto Conzelman Road. Turn right on McCullough Road and left on Bunker Road, and follow Mitchell Road to the end.
Tacy Dunham is the author of several trail guide books. For more information about her books, email firstname.lastname@example.com. For past columns and maps, go to www.marinij.com/outdoors.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
2009 Honda Civic
This sounds "fishy"to me. If they want 750 more and they get "dealer cash" 750 - that would be a wash out. What are they talking about?
You can find official Honda's financing special offers on their website - there is no such things (about $ 750) mentioned there. The interest rate that you have mentioned is correct. I wouldn't pay the extra 750 that they are asking.
Better yet, get your own financing. Best source would be a credit union car loan. If you are not a member, you can always join one. Credit unions have the best financing deals these days, far better than any banks and they want your "local" business.
I also have a very new 09LX, and it has ~1,500 miles on it. I notice something similar-when I am coasting and not applying the gas, the car will down-shift to first gear. I think this is the i-VTEC (intelligent vtec) working...it seems as if this would help with breaks. Downshifting seems to slow the car down for me so I don't have to break as much as I normally would. Does this sound similar to your car?
What do you mean, lurching forward? As in, when you're applying the brakes the car lurches forward, or after you've stopped?
Does your car seem to ever have difficulty with fast accelerations/going up hills? Those are some issues I've noticed- after slowing down for a red light (and I can really feel it downshifting), I often have to quickly speed up as the light has turned green. It feels as if the car really doesn't want to kick back up to a higher gear. Also on hills, the car seems a bit sluggish-this is probably just the 4 cylinder thing.
PS I have an automatic.
PS please excuse my bad spelling
** breaks = brakes
Hey, I'm tired today. Spent 3 hours at the DMV registering the new Honda.
As with all automatic transmissions this one will also downshift when coasting to a near stop so it is again in low or first gear in preparation for acceleration from a stop or low speed situation. Pretty much normal for all automatics. It isn't anything to do with VTEC but a function of being in the right gear (or nearly so ) at the right time. This transmission also has "grade logic" which automatically downshifts on down hill grades and holds the lower gear until the system detects you have decended the hill. This aids in controlling the vehicle speed without as much brake use. It also works in reverse (not the reverse gear) when the transmission downshifts and holds a lower gear on assending steep hills without annoying hunting for the correct gear (a downshift followed by an upshift followed by another downshift incessantly.).
While I love my 2009 Civic, the high quality materials, driving dynamics (albeit a little body lean in fast turns), excellent small sports-like steering wheel, no squeaks or rattles, and much more, I would like to pinpoint some room for improvement which I experienced in the past few months since I bought the car.
There are some bigger issues, which has already been addressed in many reviews, both pro & consumer. Among them: Terrible road noise (especially that the roads around my area are old and noise increases even more. On newer, smooth roads it is a bit better). Noise includes also the "exhaust/muffler vibration" which makes you shiver when standing behind the car with the engine running;
No stability control on lower models, and bluetooth hands-free calling is reserved only for the top-end models with navigation systems, (and even these only imports up to 50 names to the system! But I have 300 names in my phone!! Hello!?). Also among the big complaints is that except for the top models, there is no remote trunk release! Can you imagine? You must insert your key to open it or bent down to the floor at the driver's door in order to open trunk. All these are known concerns. Now to my list, many of them nitpicking:
Headlamps are not bright enough. High beams are much better, but low beam needs improvement. I would also love the headlamps to come on for a short period when I press the "unlock" button on the key fob, and likewise to stay lit for a minute after turning off engine.
The outside power mirror switches, which I'll probably use once in my lifetime, is nicely illuminated. But power window switches, which I use several times every day is not! (except for drivers). Is that logically? Likewise, when you open the drivers door, many gauges lits up nicely, but I am still unable to see where to insert the key. Isn't an illuminated ignition key insert more important and useful to light up rather than some unimportant gauges? And talking about opening front doors, why don't the front lamps light up when opening a front door (in many other Honda vehicles, like the odyssey, it does!). If it would have light up, I would be able to see the ignition ring. Also, please put a lamp in the glove box.
I was talking about power mirror switches. I would like to add that both, Hyundai Elantra & Kia Forte offer heated power mirrors standard on all models. But the Civic only give it to you on the top model. It would be extremely useful to add it to lower models as well.
Being that it is a Japanese vehicle, I would "Americanize" it a little, in several ways. First, ditch that annoying Japanese horn sound. Second, improve the lock/unlock switch. Like Toyota recently did. The American lock/unlock switches is more logically and intuitive designed. "illuminated" cruise control switches are so dimly lighted, I can barely read it. Please make it brighter.
Also take off those annoying leading zeros, both on stereo and odometer. When playing an MP3 disk, this is how the display would read: 02-004-03'15 (which is Folder 2, track 4, 3:15 time elapsed). Why the confusing leading zeros? Same in odometer. If I have 13 miles, I hate to see 000013. Also get rid of the apostrophe symbol between the hours & minutes (on stereo), and start using the colon symbol, like all mp3 players (4:22 instead of 04'22).
Also on the Japanese, a locking gas cap. At every fill up, you must manually bend down to the floor to open the "door" for the gas cap. What is that for? (Anyone still stealing gas??)
Also a stupid idea mostly found on Japanese cars, that lower end models does not get variable wiper speeds, just slow & fast! This sucks! Why shouldn't I be able to set more intervals my self? I don't ask here for rain-sensing wipers! I also noticed a "click" every time before and after the wipers are wiping. Very annoying.
Talking about the wipers, Most Honda vehicles are designed that the wipers wipe off as much as possible of the windshield (unlike most American designed wipers). But on the Civic, too mush is left un-wiped. I tried to replace with bigger wipers, but Honda designed it that you can't, because it will be blocked.
Seats are not bad, but would love to see the addition of lumbar support. Your lower back may hurt on longer trips.
Improve the stereo system. It sounds horrible.
The interior door grab/pull handle is not sufficient. Besides, there is no where to hold on tightly when taking a turn, etc. You should adopt the design as in the Toyota Camry, or in your own CR-V, or Acura MDX, recent Lincolns, and many other vehicles. They're so much more comfortable.
Lack of exterior temperature indicator on all but the top model! That is surely a shame. Toyota Corolla offers it on all models. And also I would LOVE to have a trip computer to show me mileage and more.
Somehow, the turning circle radius (which Honda says is 35 ft.) seems to be not correct. It feels more like 39-40. I did not measure it myself, but compared to other Honda's, the Civic's really fall short.
Cheap sun visors. And no extender. Does not belong in a Honda vehicle, period.
Also very annoying, if you unlock the car and do not open a door within 30 seconds, it re-locks automatically. Although it's a great safety feature, I think that 30 seconds is way too soon. Give me a minute or 2!
That's all for now. Hope not to add more in the coming months!
And please share your opinions as well.
WOW - that's critical!
I am sorry, but if you prefer to have othe features that Honda does or doesn't offer you should have bought another brand and make.
Honda conducts quite a few "public" clinics (I was on few of them) and public reports back items and features that they prefer and then they are (or are not) incorporated in their designs. Like the 30-sec automatic lock - I happen to like that feature and obviously majority of respondents as well.
My wife has 2009 Civic EXL and I have 2009 VW Jetta Wagon Tdi. While VW is more "fun to drive and has a better mileage" Honda offers carefree commute from point A to point B. We are happy with both. There is no answer to a question: what is the best car? Everyone looks for something in particular and no car manufacturer can satisfy everybody's taste. It is always a compromise.
Back to you report though. You can increase the headlight brightness by changing the headlamp bulbs and put ultra btright PIAA bulbs there (same wattage but brighter!).
You can eliminate "road" noise by replacing tires that are rated more quiet than yours (see TireRack website).
You can replace wiper blades with Valeo brand - they clean most of the windshield.
Locking fuel caps are handy in certain markets in the U.S. - yes, the gas is still being siphoned out.
Outside temp sensor is on our model - all you have to do is click set-reset button to have it displayed.
Finally, most Hondas sold in the U.S. are designed and assembled in North America - so any referral to "Japanese" isn't really proper.
"illuminated" cruise control switches are so dimly lighted, I can barely read it. Please make it brighter.
Any brighter and they'd be distracting; I prefer them not lit. I set them by feel anyway. The accel-resume/decel-set rocker has a different feel than the other buttons.
Lack of exterior temperature indicator on all but the top model! That is surely a shame. Toyota Corolla offers it on all models. And also I would LOVE to have a trip computer to show me mileage and more.
Heavens! We can't get the weather report! :P Kidding.
Cheap sun visors. And no extender. Does not belong in a Honda vehicle, period.
They extend. While the visor is out of its clip, pull on it. The whole thing pulls away, back towards the driver/back seat. I learned this a year or so ago in my '06 Accord. I was tickled to learn it!
Also a stupid idea mostly found on Japanese cars, that lower end models does not get variable wiper speeds, just slow & fast! This sucks! Why shouldn't I be able to set more intervals my self?
There's a reason people step up from lower-end models to get things like a high-end sound system, trunk release on fob, variable-speed wipers, audio controls on the wheel, etc (all on the EX model since the beginning of this generation [2006], but not offered on the LX). More money buys more features. Perhaps you'd have been more happy with a Fit Sport, Corolla, or Elantra. They seem to offer more of the features you want.
Yeah, that's critical, but as I was pointing out most of them is nitpicking, so no big deal. It's just some "reference" for Honda if they want to perfect their vehicles, they should take my advice..
I know that higher models offer more features, but there are basic stuff that should really be standard. There is a limit of how much you can de-content a low-end vehicle. Many cars give you manual window switches and door locks, other comes with no a/c or stereo, and you need to pay more to get those.. So what's next? Pay for a steering wheel?
Don't get me wrong. The Civic's not bad, and I like that Honda in general (unlike Toyota) makes various models very easy to choose, shop and compare, without the confusing option packages for every model. But still, sometimes I don't need leather and navigation, but I do need a small exterior temperature gauge, or bluetooth, for example. I would pay the few extra bucks for them. I am only comparing the Civic to other manufacturers to "proof" that it is not totally out of order to offer these kind of features on basic small model. I'd still take the Honda over the competition for their refined driving dynamics.
About your suggestion for road noise - replacing tires is a big expense. I wouldn't do it only if needed to. I want the car to be quiet right "out of the box". Anyone here interested maybe in a noisy ride? I don't see Honda's point.
Now a few more complaints on the Civic, which I think is not so smartly designed:
1) You can not turn off the "seat belt reminder". I always belt, but sometimes just driving slowly in a parking lot or similar situations, I don't need my seat belts on, but the "reminder" drives me nuts. Most other manufacturer gives you a way out, and let you disable in some way.
2) Further more, if the belt charm is already going off, nothing will help stop it, not even coming to a full stop and shifting into PARK. The annoying "reminder" should at least not work when in PARK.
3) When you activate the "power windows lock" on drivers door to prevent access of opening/closing windows, the drivers controls are also being locked. This is very unintuitive and frustrating. Driver's controls always needs to be unlocked and work. I've never seen another vehicle to behave that way.
Again, let me repeat, my Civic is terrific, a delight to drive day to day (except for the road noise which bothers me terribly), I am just pointing out some areas upon Honda should improve, and be "the best".
Thanks, Honda, for listening!
bearcrkrd Posts: 167Good Post. I have an '08 LX. Many of the things you mention I do not care about. Some I agree with very strongly. Number one is road noise. It is horrible. After one year of ownership, I spent $750 dollars on "quiet" tires. They only helped a small amount. Does track excellent with the Goodyear ResponseEdge, though! Variable speed interval wipers should be on my LX, too. And lumbar support. I would like to see a light in the glovebox, but it needs to come out (at least partially) to change the cabin air filter, so I think that is why. Wouldn't want the wire bundle hanging?? Next is the exterior temp guage and a lighted ignition ring when you first jump in the car. I agree with you again.
Stability control would be very nice. That should be mandatory for 2010, or 2011 for sure? I used that, along with Drum rear brakes, as a bargaining chip when I bought my '08 LX. Radio could be better, but if the car was quieter, or you are stopped, it sounds good.
I think the lights are plenty bright, wipers swipe just fine, and don't mind the gas cap lever or trunk release in the cabin.
Some of your other points I do not use the stuff that much, or don't notice it.
You can not turn off the "seat belt reminder". I always belt, but sometimes just driving slowly in a parking lot or similar situations, I don't need my seat belts on, but the "reminder" drives me nuts. Most other manufacturer gives you a way out, and let you disable in some way.
Honda does this for lawsuit reasons, I'm sure. That said, my dad has had $12,000 damage done in a grocery store parking lot. He got hit by someone who didn't stop at the end of their row and turned in front of my dad, causing him to effectively hit them square on, in our then-new '92 Accord. His head shattered the windshield.
Wear your seatbelt if your car is out of park.
I almost forgot to ask... what cars let you disable the seatbelt reminder, and I'm not referring to pulling a fuse out...?
I remember the days when "basic stuff" wasn't inclusive of power windows and locks, 6 speaker CD players, and cruise control.
My dad's "basic" Civic he had in '91 had a 4-speed manual, no radio, and dealer-added A/C. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a lumbar adjustment either! :blush: :shades:
My how times, expectations, and prices, have changed.
I know that Ford, Chrysler and Toyota have a way to disable. Not an easy button, though. You have to follow a series of pressing buttons and lock/unlock seat belts, etc. Ask anyone to borrow an owner's manual and you'll find it.
The annoying part with the Civic is that even if you shift to park, the series of beeps will not stop.
Another nitpick: Removing the floor mat from from drivers seat (for cleaning or changing) is unnecessarily cumbersome, and it's even harder to put back and fasten on the hooks.
Also the "AUX IN" is difficult to access, especially with one hand. That cover has to come off. Who needs a cover for the AUX IN insert?
OK, I think I'll stop already. Enough with the complaints.
Removing the driver's side floor mat better be difficult in view of a recent law suit against Toyota (and subsequent recall) whereas the floor mat got stuck with the gas pedal and would not let go....
sinsd Posts: 46I agree- all the little complaints. What bugs the helloutta me is the rear drum brake. DRUM BRAKE! HONDA! WHY?
I bought a 2009 Honda Civic EX-L Sedan about 3 weeks ago! I am from Hamilton, Ontario Canada.
Dealers in the province of Ontario had a promotion going on until November 2 on all remaining 2009 Honda's of $3,500 off!
On the Civic sedans it's $2,500 off the MSRP. I had a couple of prices of what i wanted to pay for the car before i want to the dealership. I was at the dealership for approximately 3 hours, trying to negotiate my price! The final price with all the fees and taxes was $25,900!
How did anyone else do? This post is of course open to everyone, but i would really be interested in hearing those specifically from Canada!
I am not sure what is the exchange rate but I think you've got a pretty good deal.
I bought "used" 2009 Honda Civic EX-L for my wife with 6000 miles on it back in July from a Toyota dealership for $ 18,000 (someone traded fully a loaded EX-L for Toyota Prius...).
Normally. if a Toyota dealer doesn't have a Honda franchise, you can pick up quite a nice car because dealers try to stick with their own brand and they give you a pretty good deal on a different trade in.
5000 miles later and one B1 service (oil, filter and tire rotation) the car is perfect.
We also replaced windshield wipers with Valeo brand. These are not OEM Honda (quite a complicated design of the blades) but they are OEM on most European cars and are cheaper than OEM Honda wiper blades. In my opinion, they are better than OEM. Depending on climate, wiper blades should be replaced at least once per year (or every oil change). The reason I am saying this is because some 2009 models are sitting on dealer's lot for almost a year and rubber on those wipers goes bad.
Another item to check is the tire pressure because people that prep new cars at dealerships (for close to min. wages) tend to over-inflate tires.
Other ownership experiences.
My wife first complained about the "second" tachometer display (speed) above the lower instrument cluster but after she got used to it she actually loves it. It shows you (in big numbers) what you need to know most - the speed!
We also replaced the fabric floor mats with custom made rubber floor mats, both in passenger compartment as well as rear cargo trunk.
One draw back is a relatively small gas tank. But I guess it's that way for a reason - you get a better overall average mileage with a lighter car!
Happy motoring!
One of the favorite things I like about my Civic (or any Honda for that matter), is that they use the straight shifters. Unlike Toyota, which gives you the GATED SHIFTER (very ugly IMO, and not useful at all, I don't see the advantage). I would suggest Honda to keep it up and don't fall for those stupid shifters.
One thing, though, which someone mentioned before, and both Toyota & Honda are accused for that, which I would like to see changed: Give the option for a car charger to work even the engine is off. You can not charge a cell phone or any other device with engine off (unlike all American vehicles, which gives you the ability).
Interesting though, speaking about the battery, that Honda doesn't have a battery saver feature like most other manufacturers, especially domestic. Meaning, if you leave an interior lamp ON by mistake, it won't turn off automatically after a while, causing your battery to drain. Thankfully, they had the same problems with (more common) headlamps -- I had an incident with a 2005 Accord --, but that was recently corrected on most Honda models. Still need to do the same for interior lamps.
Another minor improvement I would like to see in Toyota/Honda cars, to get rid of the intrusive trunk hinges, which limits trunk space & crushing cargo. Again, in this regard the US manufacturers are better. So copy them.
I think it was mentioned on this forum previously that designs of Hondas (like most other brands) are based on frequent consumer's clinics where consumers fill out features that they prefer or what they would like to see on future models. I was on few of them myself.
Only then some of these features are implemented into production.
Gated shifter is a safety issue (so that kids bouncing inside the car, for example) do not accidentaly shift gears. All Subarus, for example, have that feature. You may not like it but most people surveyed probably do.
Ditto car charger. If these were "live" and someone would leave some electronics plugged in, it becomes a fire hazzard.
I agree with you on the lights accidentally left on and draining battery. One example, daytime driving lights on VW Jetta do not automatically turn off, when you turn the iginition key off. That is annoying. Typically, a small interior bulb should not drain the battery although in some instances and climates it might.
Withe regards "copy them" - they did a lot of copying in the past and it seems that is now the other way around; i.e. US car manufacturers are copying them (in my opinion)!
vanderhb2 Posts: 1Signed Scarborough ON Canada deal on Oct 31 2009. On the road (OTR) price is $24,999. No options / extras in this deal except wheel locks and touch up paint. Only regret (so far ... delivery is later this week) is that my first offer (accepted) didn't go into managers office lower :-(
Gated shifter is a safety issue (so that kids bouncing inside the car, for example) do not accidentaly shift gears. All Subarus, for example, have that feature. You may not like it but most people surveyed probably do
I disagree - I can just as easily shift down a gear in a gated shifter as in my inline auto shifter. To go past neutral or 3rd, You have to push the button on the lever. In my girlfriend's Hyundai Santa Fe, you just push forward and the gates guide you to park; no button necessary. I'd say its safer to have to make two steps to shift (button+movement) rather than just movement. At least the gates in my friend's old TL ('96) required one push down on the shifter to move it past Reverse or into lower gears.
Whose kids are bouncing around the car while driving down the road? The driver should be buried under the jail for not buckling the kids up.
With regard to Honda's use of a non-gated shifter....it has garnered universal dislike in the automotive press for the ease with which it slides past D (drive using all 5 speeds) into 3 (I believe) which eliminates overdrive use causing the car to motor along in other than 5th gear with the driver mostly unaware. Can you say worse, relatively speaking, fuel economy? If I remember correctly at least one poster here also complained that he found his daughter consistently driving in 3 rather than D. It isn't too confining to follow the gated shift pattern found on Hyundai among others since you generally only shift from park to drive or reverse once or twice during any given drive.
No kids should be bouncing - that was just a figure speech...although I have seen that around here quite a lot... for that matter, there are many other distractions like texting, handling food, smoking, animals running back and forth ... etc. that could trigger shifter to move...it's a jungle out there....
I like the gated shifter and apparently many others as well...had it on my Subrau ....
Wow! Is this for a 2009 or 2010? $24,999, does that include taxes & freight? I think no matter what price you get your vehicle for, you always think that you could of gotten better! I was very happy paying $25,900 for my 2009 EX-L!
onedmc Posts: 5Had my 2009 Civic LX-S ( 5000 miles) stolen from my driveway last week. Car was locked and I am still in possesion of both keys. No alarm was heard and car has not been found to date. This is my second Honda stolen from my residence in 7yrs. Either it's time to move or better start buying Lojack.
Most stolen cars:
Source: www.nicb.org
1994 Honda Accord
1995 Honda Civic
1989 Toyota Camry
1997 Ford F150 Series
2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
2000 Dodge Caravan
1996 Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee
1994 Acura Integra
1999 Ford Taurus
Hondas are stolen mostly for parts because thiefs can make more money on parts rather than on stolen cars - those are harder to "unload".
Get a dog! The best alarm ever!
I'm surprised. I wonder how they got around the immobilizer key?
One popular way nowadays is towing the vehicle away. They push/pull/drag the car to a secure spot and then pull it on a tow truck.
I changed oil on my 2009 civic when it had 5000 miles on it. This was the first oil change. Being old school, I didn't want to leave the break in oil in past 5000 miles. Ever since then, my mileage dropped from 32 to 27 and the motor seems to start like the battery is low. Did I make a mistake by not leaving the break in oil in longer? I changed it in November just before it turned cold. This may contribute to it also. Any info would be appreciated.
Assuming you've used the correct viscosity and OEM oil filter, earlier oil change should not effect your mileage.
Could it be the "cold" weather? Not sure in what climate zone you live but that could have an effect on starting.
I used 5w20. It is in Michigan. The motor seems very tight acts just like the battery is low. It is inside overnight and has not been super cold. I have read that mileage drops but I never had a car drop so much. Does anyone know what makes the original break in oil so special?
My mileage here (Birmingham, AL) dropped fairly significantly with winter-blend fuel. Combined with new tires, I'm down about 4-5 MPG from where I was over the summer on my 4-cyl Accord.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In the past, the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Symposium produced some new and controversial proposals. Two years ago, for example, then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke introduced QE3--and the financial markets loved it. So what can we expect from this year's symposium?

Given the stances that Janet Yellen has taken throughout her short tenure as chairwoman, it would be very surprising if she didn't use Friday's speech to justify continued zero interest rate policies (ZIRP) and insist that the Fed's monetary policy tools aren't for market stabilization (i.e., "macroprudential" policies are for that). Let's look at the evidence.
The BIS
At the end of June, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the central bank for central bankers, put out a report saying that the world's leading central banks should not fall into the trap of raising rates "too slowly and too late," adding that "the risk of normalizing [interest rates] too late and too gradually should not be underestimated."
The Deal's Paula Schaap spoke with economist David Levy on what he thinks we're likely to hear from Fed Chair Janet Yellen:
WATCH: More market update videos on TheStreet TV
The BIS said governments should promote policies that boost their economies, like removing obstacles and rules regarding hiring and firing (e.g., Southern Europe) like Germany did some 20 years ago, structurally reform their tax codes (e.g., U.S.), strengthen the capital base of their banking system (e.g., Europe), and encourage capital formation.
