Inconsiderate Drivers (share your stories, etc.)
Driving home today had nothing bad - even with the 13mph average speed due to negligent traffic controls and the untouchables who manage them.
But when on foot...saw numerous phone holding yappers including several in cars I know have bluetooth, got crosswalk crowded by a couple of older women in a Lexus LS (who I yelled at as a window was down), and a guy on a motorcycle yelling at a guy in a car who possibly almost changed lanes into him.0
I found out Iowa is popular with campers this time of year... LLCers, that is. On a round trip today from the Twin Cities to Des Moines, I saw more LLCers than I have in any other one-day period. Ever. Maybe the rain had something to do with it, I don't know.
At times it was very hard rain, very dark, very poor visibility. Yet still a few idiots like a black A6 driving with no lights on. You'd think a car like that would have automatic lights. Even the stripper Malibu rental I was driving had them. But I had the headlights "on" the whole trip... automatic lights don't always come on when lights should be on.0
Rough plodding drive home tonight - local yokels seemed slower than usual, combined with negligently managed (I should have pursued public sector work) traffic controls made for gridlock everywhere. Another 15mph average speed even though half the way is on 40mph roads. At a metered on-ramp, saw a Pacifica jam to a stop for no reason in the carpool lane (confused idiot driver, of course) - motorcycle behind it had to do a nice swerve to avoid it. Best phone yapper was in a Z8 - driver looked pretty young, so I will wager daddy's car. And what's with staying a million car lengths back at lights and when going 20? And once again noticed that M3s can't take off at under 3K rpm and must average 6K rpm from there on.0
I should have pursued public sector work

I'd probably be canned in the first year probation period or however they work it. I'd dare to try to fix things, which would upset the old guard, no doubt.
Been noticing lately that lots of people won't run their headlights around 0530 (when I go to work) - sure there is light in the sky, but not a ton. What's the mentality behind this? Trying to appear stealthy or save some imagined .00001 mpg?0
It's .0001, but yeah. :P
Maybe they all just came from a vacation in Fairbanks! People here drive around the clock without lights now. Yes, you can do so and see the road just fine, but it would really nice if they used lights from at least 2300 - 0400 given the low-angle light and/or glare during those hours.2014 Audi Q7 TDI, 2008 and 2013 Subaru Forester(s), 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup0
As you have seen the lightless, they obviously are visible to the rest of your area as well so they don't need to be on.0
If everyone else was as hyper-attentive as I, the roads would be a much better place :shades:0
That's related to a problem I see here - even in the early morning light, areas shaded by trees (many roads here are fully under a tree canopy) are still pretty dark.
Something else I have noticed on a couple local cars - those with automated running lights (MBs) have been disabled. It's a simple change in the settings, but why would someone want to be less visible?0
Today saw a transit bus enter a major intersection well after yellow, went through red, dawdled in front of cars it cut off on the cross street, before stopping. Why?
Last night got to honk at a slow turner who honked back. Hey, you're in the wrong, stopping in the middle of the road for nothing then turning at 2mph. Watch yourself. Saw a simp in a Scion turning at ~3mph from an arterial street, too. Watch out for that cornering force!0
While on foot this morning, saw a dope in a Bentley convertible, top down, phone to his ear. Take some gall to do it right out in the open - but if the past 30 or so years of economic policy have taught us, this is not an egalitarian society. All I could think to yell was "hang up, you big idiot" :shades:0

We really need big government, big brother, to make laws to require technology that will not allow cell calls in moving vehicles, whether driver is doing it or a passenger. Calls to 911 would be allowed to be processed. Drivers making cell calls are stupid, selfish, reckless and finally, cannot manage their lives to make their phone calls at their homes and offices. They are disorganized and dumb.0
Pipe dream. The tech will be defeated by an app written by an ambitious 5th grader 30 seconds after such legislation is put into play. Not to mention, telecom lobbyists are hard working and well funded. No argument about the disorganized and dumb though.
Inconsiderates today - only one person turning from a straight only lane, and typical depressingly low turn signal use.0
This could perhaps alert you to inconsiderate drivers. Uninsured ones at least.
"They look like ordinary license plates until they're activated, after which they light up, or even flash, with selected messages. According to the company's Web site, those messages could read "Uninsured," "Expired," "Suspended," "Stolen," or even "Amber Alert."

Maybe we could just have the NSA deactivate their phone anytime they dial and the phone switches cell tower.
Actually I think we have enough big brother and need less government control.
>Drivers making cell calls are stupid, selfish, reckless and finally, cannot manage their lives to make their phone calls at their homes
I keep thinking about the 80% of young females driving during the daytime hours in this area who are on the cell phone. It's their social time when they get behind the wheel--hand gestures, laughing, anger, etc., all kinds of emotions show on their faces and in their actions while on their phones.
I always thought the "Baby on Board" signs were stupid since the driver should just be extra careful instead of acting like it's up to everyone else to protect thier bundle-of-joy on board.
We need "Cell Phone in Use" signs.

We probably don't need the government to manage tech that disables phones in motion - they simply lack the mettle to develop something to any workable level - not that such a level even exists. There are other solutions to this issue, and they all revolve around accountable and consistent enforcement.
I am surprised "Baby on Board" signs don't make the vehicle a target, like the stupid stick figure family decals often seen on obese SUVs and oblivious minivans. Around my area, one could also sell an "Anchor Baby on Board" :shades: I too notice phone yappers often (but not always) revolve around a certain demographic.0
imidazol97 Crossroads of America I70 & I75 Posts: 23,614I"d forgotten about the obnoxious little decals stuck on the back windows to tell how many cats, dogs, kids, etc., are in the family.
Do they have a decal of a person with a cell phone stuck to their ear for me to look at when I'm behind them at a stoplight and they're not moving.

Attn Fin: If you want to be helpful in a positive way, use your visual & verbal acuity to remind the other driver his tabs have expired.0
That's something local yokels usually keep up with, but some like to put the new sticker over the month or in the middle of the plate etc :confuse:
I am sure 1%er trickle down creator in the Bentley had current registration, maybe good insurance for when he eventually hits someone,too :sick:0
Steve Elias Posts: 2,187seems wrong to characterize cellfone-using-drivers with such a blanket statement, xrunner2. as for big-government nanny, it's just a matter of computing & administrative resources to do as you ask - the video cameras are already up & running over many/most highways in USA.
please let's forget about *talking* on the cellphone as a supposed problem, because there is a worse problem: the amount of texting/emailing that goes on during commuting is huge - especially when traffic gets too dense for cops to see/detain anyone.
how about the inevitable implementations using existing video cameras above every recent highway - they can look at hands of the driver and identify the texters/web-surfers via image-recognition and send them tickets.
most highways already have plenty of existing video cameras. all vehicles' speeds can be calculated accurately between every pair of cameras - by computer using video data already being captured.
how about each driver gets hundreds of deserved/valid/retroactive tickets for all their 2010-2012 driving/speeding/texting. the stored videos can be replayed/re-analyzed any time in the future, and tickets sent out for speeding/texting that occurred years ago.
smile, you're on candid camera !0
seems wrong to characterize cellfone-using-drivers with such a blanket stateme
So how should these drivers be characterized? Are there any valid reasons for a driver to be using a cell phone beyond calling 911 or a similar number to report an emergency, such as an accident that just occurred?0
I can't remember the last time an inconsiderate driver I've (almost) run into was NOT using a cell phone, so it's pretty easy to use this blanket statement...
Hang up the phone and DRIVE YOUR CAR.
On the way to work this morning, a cell phone user (I'm sure it was a REALLY important call at 7:10 AM) had to lock up his brakes as he came up behind me too fast. I was going about 40 MPH in a 35 zone, so I was obviously almost a stationary object I guess.

Hang up the phone and DRIVE YOUR CAR.
But your honor, my autonomous car was driving me around.
By the time we figure out how to limit texting and cells, Google will screw it all up. :P0
Problem solved - wear a mask :shades:
Funny thing, there are plenty of "people" out there who want that Orwellian vision, and not just in the subjugated UK.0
Come to my neighborhood, you'll see plenty of inconsiderates/idiots with both hands on the wheel :lemon:
Last night saw a guy slam on his brakes in front of a bus, try to make an illegal u-turn where his car wouldn't fit, then get stuck in a small parking area, then back out into traffic - and ends up going the same direction he was headed to begin with - all while apparently not recognizing other vehicles on the road.
Headed to work this morning, around 0530, rainy and dark, half the vehicles (literally) weren't using headlights. I know it's the longest day of the year, but this is just stupid. Most of the time it's a truck or SUV, too.0
Oh there are certainly idiots who need nothing but themselves and a car to cause havoc, but they seem to be FAR outnumbered by the GBC addicts *

We'd quickly see a 20% reduction in the driving population of America... and the rest would suddenly rediscover proper driving etiquette.0

The slow pokes in the slow right lane would shoot missiles at the speeders in the left fast lane even though they don't' harm or hassle anyone, and it isn't even remotely dangerous.
My brother in law got a ticket for making a right turn on red when there's a single sign that says "no right turn on red during these hours: rush hours"
It lists a few different time periods and I find it hilariously unenforceable in a court of law.
A judge might now agree, but I'd argue it doesn't state PST or EST or what kind of time. Also, isn't a driver better able to gauge whether the turn is safe or not rather than an arbitrary sign with arbitrary hours?'16 Audi TTS quattro 2.0T, '15 Audi A4 quattro 2.0T, '19 VW Tiguan SEL 4-Motion AWD0

LOL! Thanks for a good laugh to end the work week!
I agree about driver judgement being better than signs. Let's apply that same rule to speed limit signs (oh wait... you already do that), stop signs, railroad crossing signals, do not enter signs... all of 'em!
Also, I'll remember the time zone defense if I ever get a parking ticket and the "no parking" times didn't mention the time zone.0

Oh. God. Please. No. - Glaus gets fingered for steroids
By the time you read this, it will probably be all over everywhere, but here it is anyhow.
Source: Glaus received steroids (SI.com)
Report: Glaus received steroids in 2003-04 (Fox Sports)
With the Rick Ankiel news from this morning, we actually asked ourselves "Who from the Jays will get embroiled in this mess?"
We should really stop thinking bad thoughts.

This isn't meant to be an excuse for Glaus, but he probably wanted those drugs to help him heal up and avoid injury more than to get big. I don't think strength was ever his problem. But, ah well, they are illegal and bad.
I wonder if something like this will ever come out about A-Rod.

It was more about healing than bulking up with Glaus.... other dudes take 'roids to be his size... anyway, questions should be raised about whether maybe baseball should shorten the season. Seriously, 154 games would help...

Given a relaxing Easter Sunday I was reading a few comments on various hot cycling blogs on the subject of chain wear and replacement (Yes I know...I really should try to get out more!). I have been riding my Pash for over 2 years in all weathers and through the long cold winter with the same chain, yet despite my concern that it must be wearing out and my best efforts to bugger the thing up, it refuses to die. This is the case despite a mileage during that time of at least 14,000 miles. Given all of that, the little steel darling has hardly elongated it a jot and my handy Birzmann Chain Checker still indicates I have not yet even reached the 75% wear limit upon which I normally change the chain.
When I look at other websites this seems somewhat extraordinary! Despite all and sundry rabbiting on about Chain Stretch bicycle chains don't actually stretch like a piece of rubber. What happens is that the chain's pins actually go through a process of elongation over time, and taken across the whole length of the chain this leads to the chain getting slightly longer in length.Now the hirsute Sheldon Brown, cycling God and guru in chief to the two wheeled cognoscenti, seems to be a bit of a fan of the chain guard, but even his best efforts at preserving his drivetrain seems to have fallen short of my story. Why should this be? Why does this chain of mine appear to go on and on...especially since I have forsaken the hairy north Americans advice and gone for synthetic motor oil as my lubricant of choice. This last admission is seen as an absolute NO-NO by his beardfulness....the very heresy of it makes me quake to think what the old Colonial's reaction should be if he ever gets wind of my foolishness. However I have a theory about lubricants, when in doubt try it out....given the millions spent by the motor industry to improve performance of engines and the loving care and attention lavished on the top marques surely they would not put anything in the heart of their automotive beasts that might cause it damage?
My considered view is that synthetic motor oils are probably a damned sight better made than any rubbish pitched at us as specifically made for the bicycle...and a damn site cheaper! Synthetic oils are made to operate in extremes of temperature & engineered to deliver far superior mechanical and chemical effectiveness than conventional mineral oils. In addition, they seek to lubricate far more complex drivetrains in an environment far tougher than any bicycle will encounter.
I actually think that not over molly coddling ones bicycle is the heart of the matter. Every three or four months I remove the chain case and use an old sock to run over the links as I wind the pedals round by hand. I then use a little, and I mean a little, synthetic motor oil on the chain and the Bobs is your uncle or Charlie is your aunt. This is the only maintenance my chain gets. To get any crud off the rear cog and the chain wheel I do almost the the same thing with another sock, disposing of said socks afterwards. This hardly seems much of an effort, and a damn site easier than the sort of stuff advocated by many North American websites that seem to have an overly complex view of bicycle maintenance urging us to take chain the off, bathe it in a balm of special chain cleaner (retailing at $87,000 dollars a bottle!), and then using Uncle Bobs Special Velo specific, lavender-scented, uber-organic, environmentally-friendly, whale-blubber-enriched, non-toxic chain-lube.... replace.

2008 Special Guest
Edwin Corley Moses
Edwin Moses, an Olympic Champion, sports administrator, diplomat and businessman, is one of the most respected and recognised athletes of our time. He has resolutely served and promoted the Olympic movement, and fostered the development of "drug-free" sports and the rights of amateur athletes at all levels. His experience as a distinguished Olympic champion and world record holder has earned him the esteem of the international sports community.
Moses, a physicist from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, is known for utilising the applied sciences to perfect the technical aspects of his athletic performance in his event, the 400 meter hurdles. This knowledge also enabled him to create, implement and administer the world's most stringent random and out-of-competition testing systems for performance enhancing drugs in sports.
Born 31st August 1955, in Dayton, Ohio, the second of three sons, Moses began his athletic career in age group competitions and later in high school in the 180 yard low hurdles and 440 yard dash. Guided by his parents' influence on him as educators, he accepted an academic scholarship in engineering from Morehouse College rather than an athletic scholarship elsewhere.
Although there was no track at Morehouse College, Moses trained for the 1976 Olympic trials using the public high school facilities around Atlanta. He subsequently won the trials in the 400 meter hurdles with an American record of 48.30 seconds, making his first Olympic team. At the summer Olympic Games in Montreal, Canada, he became the Olympic Champion, bettering the Olympic and World Records with a time of 47.63 seconds. For the next decade he dominated the hurdles accumulating the most amazing string of consecutive victories ever amassed by an individual athlete. Over a period of nine years, nine months and nine days, from August 1977 until May 1987, Moses collected 122 straight victories, 107 of these were finals; this winning streak has remained unbeaten and stands in the Guinness Book of Records to this date.
The United States boycotted the 1980 Olympic Games held in Moscow, thereby denying Moses a second golden opportunity. However, he demonstrated his excellent form in Milan, Italy when he smashed his World Record of 1977 with a new record time of 47.13 seconds. Three years later he lowered the mark once again on his 29th birthday in Koblenz, West Germany, with his time of 47.02. This record remained unbroken until 1992.
Moses took a leave of absence from his engineering position at General Dynamics in 1979, to pursue athletics full-time. On the heels of the passing of the U.S. Amateur Sports Act in Congress in 1978, he set out to improve training conditions and financial support mechanisms from American athletes. At the time, Soviet, East German and other Eastern block athletes were known to be heavily financed by their governments.
Determined to find a method through which U.S. athletes could generate financial support to offset training expenses and earn some income, Moses helped to persuade the Athletics Congress to advocate the liberalisation of the international and Olympic eligibility rules by adopting a revolutionary concept to provide revenue through an Athletes Trust Fund programme. The Trust Fund would enable athletes to create accounts administered by their respective sport bodies, within which government or privately supplied stipends, direct payments and monies derived from commercial endorsements could be deposited and periodically drawn from by an athlete for training and other expenses without jeopardising their Olympic eligibility.
Moses was asked to provide a presentation to Mr Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the International Olympic Committee, which was both persuasive and innovative. Mr Samaranch and the IOC commission then ratified the concept in late 1981. The Trust Fund is currently the basis of many Olympic athlete subsistence, stipend and corporate support programmes, including the USOC's well-funded Direct Athlete Assistance Programmes.
Meanwhile, Moses continued to perform brilliantly in Track and Field. In 1983, he won his first World title at the first World Championships at Helsinki, Finland. One of the accolade moments of his career came one year later at the Olympic Games of Los Angeles when he was chosen to recite the Athletes' Oath during opening ceremonies. A few days later, he reaffirmed his unparalleled sportsmanship by winning his second Olympic Gold Medal.
As a sports administrator, Moses is best known for his skilful and courageous directives in the development of policies against the use of performance enhancing drugs. He recognised the disastrous affects that rampant use of these drugs by athletes, could cast upon the sport of Track and Field. He also feared that continued, unchecked steroid abuse would eventually dismantle the fabric of International sports. In 1993, he decided to make the first major public challenge in the assault against performance enhancing drugs in sports, together with a few other dedicatedly pure Track and Field athletes, who became pioneers in the development, administration and implementation of the sport's world's most stringent random in-competition drug testing systems.
Between the years of 1983 and 1989, as an athlete member of The Athletics Congress, Moses continually monitored the progress and the results of the in-competition random testing programme. Although immersed in both national and international committee work by 1986, he found time to prepare himself for a bronze medal performance at the 1989 Seoul, Korea Olympic Games.
In December 1989, convinced that a small minority of athletes had developed sophisticated methods to escape normal in-competition testing procedures, fortified with the support of athletes, physicians and expert scientists world-wide, created and designed amateur sport's first random out-of-competition drug testing programme.
With the assistance of some of the United States' esteemed legal scholars and overwhelming support from TAC, Moses and his colleagues successfully legislated and implemented testing under the unprecedented programme. He further successfully nurtured the new testing programme through its formative period, which continues to operate successfully to date. Many believe the deterrent effect of the out-of-competition testing program has significantly contributed to a decrease in the use of steroids and other performance enhancing methods in sports.
Moses has also worked with; the Special Olympics, Montana State Games, Goodwill Games and the USOC'S own Olympic Festival. In addition, he has served on the USOC with a delegation that lobbied U.S. Congressmen and Senators to support efforts to include a "tax check-off" on the Federal Income Tax form and on issues relating to the Unrelated Business Income Tax provisions in current legislation.
Selected as an athlete representative, Moses accompanied the IOC Commission on Apartheid and Olympism, which travelled to Johannesburg and Cape Town prior to the return of South Africa to the Olympic Family, under the leadership of the Honourable Judge Keba Mbaye of Senegal and Francois Carrard, Director of the IOC.
In spring of 1994, Moses received a Masters in Business Administration in Business Administration in Business Management from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. He was also a founding partner in the Platinum Group, a management partnership, which represents world-class athletes in their business endeavours. He served as a member of the President's Circle, an advisory group, which advises the President of the National Academy of Sciences on scientific, economic and environmental policy. In May of 1993, he was named by the White House to the President's Commission on White House Fellowships as a commissioner and selector of applicants for the White House Fellowship Programme. In addition, he served as a member of the National Criminal Justice Commission and has been elected by the Athletes' Advisory Council to the Executive Committee of the USOC. He received the ultimate honour bestowed by his sport when he was inducted into the U.S. Track and Field Hall of Fame on 3rd December 1994.
Moses worked as a financial Consultant with The Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc., an investment banking firm and subsidiary of Smith Barney Inc., which is based in Atlanta, Georgia, site of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games.
In 2000, he was elected by his fellow members to become the Chairman of the Laureus World Sports Academy, a position which he still holds.
The Laureus World Sports Academy is a unique association of 45 of the greatest living sporting legends from sports as diverse as football, tennis, athletics, skateboarding and motor racing. All the members of the Academy share a belief in the power of sport to break down barriers, bring people together and improve the lives of young people around the world.
During the February 2008 Laureus Awards hosted by President Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg, Russia; Moses, Sean Fitzpatrick (Rugby), Steve Waugh (Cricket) and Marcel Desailly (Football), entered a televised debate on CNN television relating to drugs and racism in sport, the question of Darfur and its relation to the Bejing Olympics in 2008.
In May 2008, Edwin as the Honorary Chairman of the Major Taylor Association along with its members celebrated the more than 100 year old legacy of Seven-time World Champion cyclist Marshall W. 'Major' Taylor in Wooster Massachusetts. Taylor, an African-American competing in the late 1800's and early 1900's was memorialised with perhaps the most beautiful and elegant statue made in honour of a sports legend in America
Moses is also a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor; the highest civilian award given to American citizens by the US Congress for his and the 1980 US Olympic Team personal sacrifice upon being forced to boycott the Olympic Games in Moscow, Russia.

The rise, revealed in the latest Halifax House Price Index, outstripped analysts' expectations of a 0.7pc rise, renewing fears of a house price bubble.
House prices advanced 7.9pc on an year-on-year basis, the figures showed, taking the average price across the UK to £179,872 and marking the strongest annual uplift since October 2007.
Oliver Atkinson, director at urbansalesandlettings.co.uk, said in parts of Britain "the momentum is approaching madness, as price rises continue to accelerate".
Stephen Noakes, mortgages director for Halifax, said the improving economy, falling unemployment, growing consumer confidence and low interest rates are all boosting the market.
The surprisingly strong data led to renewed calls for Government to cool policies it put in place to support the housing market.
"Cuts to the Help to Buy scheme would send a stronger message that the authorities are willing to take action to cool an overheating market," said Matthew Pointon, property economist at Capital Economics.
Average house values remain 10pc below their 2007 peak and Mr Noakes said factors such as wage rises failing to keep up with inflation are expected to "constrain" property prices.

It's odd when you stop to think about it: There are so many great, great players in the history of the New York Yankees, and so few of them are starting pitchers.
The best Yankee starter of all time is undoubtedly Whitey Ford, who spent the better part of two decades in pinstripes on his way to the 1961 Cy Young Award, six World Series rings, and the Hall of Fame. After that, it gets a bit muddled. Ron Guidry and Mel Stottlemyre both have decent cases -- they're almost certainly top five -- but played in an era when the Yankees were getting relatively little hardware. Guidry retired with only the two rings from 1977 and 1978, and Stottlemyre finished with none; he threw exactly 20 postseason innings in his entire career, all in the 1964 World Series at age 22, and then never went back. Roger Clemens forces his way above Stottlemyre and Guidry just by being Roger Clemens, and also winning two rings in New York despite only playing for the team for six years. (Worth noting: Babe Ruth did all his notable pitching in Boston. He threw only 31 career innings for New York, more than half of them coming after age 35.*)
The only starter whose career came particularly close to matching the impression that Whitey Ford made on the New York franchise, however, was Andy Pettitte, who pitched two years longer than Ford but one year fewer in pinstripes, and who never won a Cy Young Award but was a stalwart on five championship teams. And who checks in with an incomplete grade so far, but already a ring up on Stottlemyre? CC Sabathia, the team's current ace, in just five years as a Yankee. Heck, Mike Mussina is in the discussion for fifth or sixth on the list of great Yankee pitchers, and he spent half his career pitching in Baltimore.
So in the past half-decade, New York has bid farewell to two of the absolute best pitchers their team has ever seen (three, if you include Clemens) while watching another one age into his early thirties. This underlines a common theme in the Yankee rotation across at least the past twenty years: By and large, the Yankees try to get their starting pitchers from free agency at that exact moment when experience and talent intersect at their peaks, and they hope -- but don't necessarily expect -- they'll be wearing pinstripes five or six years down the road. David Wells and Cone, El Duque, the aforementioned Clemens and Mussina, and going back a bit further to Tommy John: Pitchers who came to New York and left a significant portion of themselves on the mound in the Bronx, but few of whom started doing so before the age of thirty. Sabathia bucks the trend in that he signed when he was 28, which is downright young for a marquee Yankee starting pitcher.
So it's no surprise that the Yankees are going into the season with the ace and number two spots in their rotation already handed to Sabathia (34 in July) and Hiroki Kuroda (39 this February), and it's also no surprise that, generally speaking, Yankees fans feel pretty good about that top pairing... with caveats. Sabathia is a workhorse starter on the right side of 35 ... so long as last season, and the decline in his fastball that led to it, was just a blip on his career radar. Kuroda's a dominant sinker-ball pitcher with a wealth of experience on the mound ... so long as his arm is willing to cooperate for a 17th season of professional baseball. It's not a new feeling for those who follow the team -- and in recent years the success stories like Kuroda have been tempered by the false starts (Kevin Brown; Randy Johnson; Javier Vazquez, the first time), the burnouts (Carl Pavano; Javier Vazquez, the second time) and whatever it was that happened to A.J. Burnett during his time in New York.
If it's a given that half or more of the rotation is going to be highly-paid older pitchers who are either approaching or defying their physical decline, then it's also a given that the back part of the rotation is going to be guys in their 20s just trying to stay afloat. In the bad part of the nineties this was your Sterling Hitchcocks and Melido Perezes, with Pettitte showing up in 1995 to demonstrate what true stability from a young arm looked like. In the most recent decade under Brian Cashman, it's been young trade acquisitions like Ted Lilly, Shawn Chacon and Jeff Weaver and developed prospects like Ian Kennedy, Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain. Worth mentioning as well is the Yankees' recent dabbling in the Asian pro market for starting pitching. At the top of this group is Taiwanese starter Chien-Ming Wang, who gave the Yankees five solid years before falling apart; at the bottom, Japanese starter Kei Igawa, who didn't even last 80 innings before being banished to Triple AAA; and somewhere in the middle, the immortal Hideki Irabu.
It's fitting, then, that the arms lined up for the Yankees behind Sabathia and Kuroda going into spring training will include a trade acquisition and an internally developed prospect, with a chance to add an established young Asian starter as well.
Michael Pineda has yet to take the mound for the New York Yankees in a major league ballgame. The right hander pitched 171 innings of promising 3.74 ERA ball for the Seattle Mariners in 2011, was dealt to New York as the centerpiece of the Jesus Montero deal and promptly tore his labrum. That particular injury can be a death knell to any pitcher, let alone one who works primarily fastball/slider like Pineda does -- and his setback last year during rehab in the minor leagues didn't inspire too much confidence.
Cashman has never shown much sentiment with guys he's traded for if they're unable to perform, and he's made it known that since Pineda still has minor-league options remaining, he'll have to impress the Yankees if he's going to make next year's rotation over other internal options like Vidal Nuno, David Phelps (who will either be in the pen or the rotation) or the rest of the field. That said, Pineda just turned 25 over the weekend and has already proven -- one shoulder surgery prior -- that he can put up a more than adequate season for a back of the rotation guy. If the labrum tear hasn't completely destroyed his velocity and stuff, and the Yankees don't make too many more pitching signings between now and camp, Pineda has a good shot of making the cut.
But fair's fair: There's a lot more enthusiasm around Ivan Nova, and the possibility that in 2014 he could establish himself as the first standout homegrown Yankee starter in almost two decades. That assumes that the spike in his strikeout rate over the last two years is a real thing -- and that the declining hits, home runs and walks allowed per nine in 2013 is evidence that Nova has finally combined his great stuff with improved command. The Yankee defense behind him was a patchwork affair last year and likely won't be much better this year, since what it gains in adding Jacoby Ellsbury in center it probably gives back up by losing Robinson Cano's glove up the middle. But no one will really know until the playing time rotations sort themselves out. That said, Nova's the likely No.3 starter behind Kuroda going into camp, and it'll likely take an injury or a big signing to change that before Opening Day.
Which brings us to the wild card: Masahiro Tanaka. The Yankees are reportedly one of six teams with a "nine digit" offer on the table, with the alleged frontrunners being the Chicago Cubs, who are said to have a deal on the table worth $25 million a year for six to eight years -- this for a pitcher who, while young and phenomenally talented, has never played an inning of big league ball. Tanaka was the ace of the Japan Series-winning Rakuten Golden Eagles last season and is seen as a legitimate MLB ace out of the box by just about every talent evaluator in the business. Commodities like that don't go on the market very often -- plus, remember, the changes to the posting system made this offseason mean that instead of a blind bidding process for the rights to negotiate exclusively with Tanaka, there's just an effective $20 million hard floor on what it'll cost to sign him -- and teams with money to spend have the advantage. If the Yankees do land Tanaka, he'll slot in as the presumptive No. 3, but he may very well become the highest paid starter in that rotation in terms of his annual salary.
If the Yankees lose out on Tanaka, it's possible they take that money -- which essentially represents the salary of their suspended third baseman, Alex Rodrgiuez -- and spend some large portion of it on Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez or Matt Garza. New York is under no small amount of pressure to bounce back quickly from what was viewed as a lost season in 2013, and has shown it still believes the way to do that is to buy the best toys the market has to offer.
But regardless of exactly which five pitchers emerge to form the New York rotation this spring, this winter has already reassured us that, for better or worse, and regardless of plans or budgets, the Yankees are who they've always been.
* Edited to add: There's certainly a conversation to be had about guys like Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing, but that conversation doesn't involve directly comparing them to pitchers who played most or all of their career post-integration -- as far as I'm concerned it can't really be done. The MLB of the 1920s and 30s and the MLB of the 1950s and 1960s might as well be two completely different leagues.

Barter Bobblehead
"Never forget to walk away with more than you've brought." Barter +10
Out of the twenty Bobbleheads available in the game, this might be one of the more difficult ones to procure. That's because this Bobblehead is located deep within Evergreen Mills, perhaps the most overrun Raider stronghold in all of the Capital Wasteland. Evergreen Mills is located at the far west end of the Wasteland, due east of Smith Casey's Garage (where Tranquility Lane is undertaken). Girdershade is located southwest of Evergreen Mills, while VAPL-84 Power Station is located southeast of it. It's a big location and is difficult to miss, but make sure to go fully-healed, with plenty of ammunition and curative items at your disposal. This is a most unfriendly place.
While you can explore Evergreen Mills for hours and not necessarily see it all, the place you're looking for in terms of finding the Barter Bobblehead is pretty clear-cut. Search for a building called the Foundry, and enter it. As was the case outside, myriad Raiders will be within as well as outside, so have your weaponry ready. Adjacent to the Foundry is another location, called the Bazaar. This massive marketplace for bad guys is chock full of hostiles. Shoot to kill here as you traverse the location, grabbing more goods than you'll know what to do with. When you reach the billiard-playing area, you're close to the Bobblehead. Explore the office behind it and keep the light on your gun ready. In a dead end, you'll see the Bobblehead you seek. Be sure to search the shelves you encounter in their entirety, however, because a hanging light conveniently obscures your vision of the Bobblehead if you are quick to look.

Contains Sulphites.
Suduiraut is a 1er Cru Classé, located in the appellation of Sauternes.
Three grape varieties are planted: Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscadelle. Sémillon is the principal grape, because it is especially susceptible to noble rot, Sauvignon is used for its naturally high acidity, whilst tiny proportions of the capricious Muscadelle are used for aromatic qualities. Sweet wine has been made here at least since the late 18th century. Its position is unique, close to two rivers, the broad Garonne and its small tributary, the Ciron. In autumn, the cool Ciron waters flow into the warmer tidal Garonne, evening mists develop that envelop the vineyards until late morning the following day, after the sun has burnt the mist away all that is left is moisture on trhe grapes that encourages noble rot or Botrytis cinerea. This fungus attacks grapes, causing them to shrivel, concentrating flavour sugars and acids. The wines were classified in 1855, the most prominent of which is Château Yquem, whose yields even in a vintage where noble rot is prominent, reach no more than 10 hl/ha.
Semillon is blended with Sauvignon Blanc to produce the great sweet botrytis-affected wines of Bordeaux in Sauternes and Barsac, the Sauvignon adds aroma, fruit and freshness to the rich fleshy Semillon. Semillon is at its most illustrious in the humid atmosphere of Sauternes and Barsac, where it is susceptible to Botrytis rot, which helps concentrate the fruit sugars, acids and flavours, producing some of the most luscious, sweet long-lived wines in the world. The most renowned example is Château d'Yquem, though there are a plethora of estates throughout the region whose wines come close in quality.

Elisabeth Soderstrom , 82
Elisabeth Soderstrom , 82; Swedish opera singer
Sunday, November 22, 2009
Elisabeth Soderstrom, 82, a Swedish soprano who was greatly admired for her sensitive operatic roles and for her refined, delicately shaded voice, died Nov. 20 of a stroke in Stockholm.
During a career of more than 50 years, Miss Soderstrom was renowned for the subtlety of her performances and was considered one of the foremost actors on the operatic stage. Her dramatic skill made her particularly effective in portraying such complex characters as Leonore in Beethoven's "Fidelio," Tatyana in Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" and Marie in Alban Berg's "Wozzeck."
She had a versatile lyric soprano voice and a wide-ranging repertoire that included more than 50 roles in 10 languages. Highly regarded for her interpretations of dramatic works by Tchaikovsky, Leos Janacek and Richard Strauss, she also had a superb sense of comedy that allowed her to excel in lighter fare, such as Rosalinde in "Die Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss II.
"All my life I have striven to show that it is not in the slightest unnatural to express yourself in song," she wrote in her 1978 autobiography. Her goal was "to find a balance between music, words and gestures [to achieve] the work of art."
Miss Soderstrom gained international acclaim in the 1950s, after making operatic debuts in Salzburg, Austria, and at England's Glyndebourne Festival. When she gave her first performance at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1959, as Susanna in Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro," a New York Herald Tribune critic called her "simply a darling, with a bright, delectable, and accurate soprano that carried the treble like a crystal flute."
From 1959 to 1963, she often appeared at the Met, portraying Marguerite in Charles Gounod's "Faust," Adina in Gaetano Donizetti's "L'Elisir d'Amore" and Musetta in Giacomo Puccini's "La Boheme." She also performed three separate roles in Richard Strauss's 1911 comic opera "Der Rosenkavalier."
She then vanished from U.S. stages for more than a decade, and many American admirers assumed she had retired. But, with three young sons at home, she temporarily confined her singing career to Sweden and northern Europe. She also had a television show about classical music in Sweden.
"In my own country I try to spread opera wherever I can -- in factories, prisons, hospitals, mental institutions," she later said. "I'm preaching, I admit it."
By the time Miss Soderstrom returned to the United States in 1977 as Katya in a San Francisco Opera production of Janacek's "Katya Kabanova," her voice had begun to lose its youthful buoyancy. Nevertheless, as Peter G. Davis wrote in the New York Times, she still had "beautifully tapered diminuendos, a variety of fascinating colors, gorgeous tonal quality at any dynamic level, controlled pliancy of phrasing and above all the essential sentiment of a song, effects governed by a deep musical intelligence and emotional honesty."
Elisabeth Anna Soderstrom was born May 7, 1927, in Stockholm. Her Russian mother had fled her homeland during the 1917 revolution, and her father was a music-loving Swedish businessman. She began to study singing in earnest at 14 and also showed early interest in acting. After being rejected for admission to the Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts, she concentrated on singing.
She had allergies to animals, nuts, apples and feathers but was otherwise not known for being temperamental, except when she thought directors did not respect the integrity of a musical score. In a production of Janacek's "The Makropulous Case" in Marseilles, the stage director wanted Miss Soderstrom to perform her final scene behind a screen, concealed from the audience.
"I was never so close to killing a person," she told the Toronto Star in 1989. "I screamed at him that he was unworthy of staging this opera. His response was, 'We break for lunch,' and I collapsed in a chair, crying violently.
"The stage hands, by the way, all came up to me and said 'Bravo, madame, bravo, c'est magnifique!' After lunch, the screen was gone."
Miss Soderstrom continued performing well into her 60s and often gave recitals of songs by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Jean Sebelius with pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy. American composer Dominick Argento wrote an opera for her, "The Aspern Papers," which she premiered in Dallas in 1988.
At 71 in 1999, she came out of semi-retirement to appear as the Countess in Tchaikovsky's "The Queen of Spades" at the Metropolitan Opera.
Survivors include her husband of 59 years, Swedish naval officer Sverker Olow, and three sons.
"There should be an intensity when people listen to music, since listening is valuable only when it is active," Miss Soderstrom said in 1988. "For me, it is more important to communicate than to sing a pretty note."

Beauty is ... shifting
Ladies, I have the privilege of introducing Miss Lauren Scruggs to the Beauty Is...series. Lauren is a dear friend, confidant, fellow Beyonce Aficianado, prayer warrior, and holds a beauty that is full of life, depth, and purpose. Without this gal I probably wouldn't make it through Fashion Week. We run around town going to shows together, process life, and order takeout when we should probably be at a party!
I'm incredibly honored to call this amazing woman my friend! God is using her in powerful ways. Lauren is changing our culture with a voice of beauty and grace!
A couple of years ago, my life took a big shift. My calendar paused, my career path changed, and my platform increased after a night of injury, or what my subconscious defined as a depletion of beauty. In retrospect, I clearly see how I easily submerged in destructive comparison after this life-altering experience. The thoughts swirled: my life story has its twists and turns; my career path looks different than my friend who works a 9-5; my passions are rearranging and not set in stone.
I quickly came to realize that comparison is equivalent to worry; it only severely hinders and limits fruition. Plus, if we really think about it, wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same?
Beauty makes you bloom. In essence, it is freedom to be you.
Being confident in the fact that God purposely put specific passions in your heart is what makes you beautiful. Think about it: You have been through the struggle, through the most joyous days, and through the unknown for a brilliant reason. They each fabricate who you are and how you grow; they form a deeper compassion for others, greater patience through times of waiting, and clearer awareness of true contentment. They bring you to know that the valley produces some of the greatest realization, which results in genuine appreciation for love and life.
XO, Lo

How about using a word cloud? While the widget already exists, the trick would be to figure out how to point it at a given user's complete set of transactions, and post it the result to their individual profile. If this were possible I think it would be a great way to identify potential areas of expertise (not foolproof, obviously, but an interesting alternative to self-declared expertise).

"Elder Samuel Tenney, grandson of Thomas, was accustomed to pray earnestly for his children and children's children's children to the latest generation."
He removed 18 Apr., 1826, to Salem street,
Boston, Mass., and was one of the founders of Salem Street Church, also
its senior deacon, which office he filled with unabated interest until very
near the close of his life. He was the prince of hospitality, and eminently
efficient, exemplary, and conscientious. In the transaction of business he
possessed good judgment, energy, punctuality, and incorruptible integrity,
and for twenty-eight years was the assistant president of the Merchants'
Insurance Company. ** His pen was constantly in his hand, and bushels of
manuscripts emphasize his systematic and staunch puritanic cast of mind."
He had a taste for genealogical and family record, and had published sheet
No. 2, arranged according to plan No. I., by Rev. C. J. Tenney, D. D.
Before removing to Boston, at Parson Wood's reception. Madam Tenney
was pronounced the handsomest and best-dressed woman ; the deacon had
brought his wife a new silk dress from Boston. She died 20 Jan., 1856.

1.Thomas Tenney b. 1648
THOMAS TENNEY, a member of the Reverend Ezekiel Rogers' com-
pany from Yorkshire, England, arrived at Salem, Mass., in December,
1638, and settled at Rowley, Mass., in April, 1639. (Gage's Hist. Rowley.)
In a deposition taken at Ipswich, Mass., 4 May, 1680, Mr. Tenney testifies
in relation to an ox pasture in Rowley, and at that date he gave his age as
about sixty-six years. (Ipswich Deeds, 4:329.) This would have made
him twenty-four years old when he emigrated to America with his wife Ann,
who was mentioned in the will of Deacon Thomas Mighill of Rowley,
Mass., as " sister Ann Tenney." (Early Settlers of Rowley.) The said will
was dated 1 1 June, 1654. Mrs. Tenney was buried 26 September, 1657. He
married 24 February, 1658, his second wife, Elizabeth, widow of Francis Par-
rat of Rowley. It does not appear that they had children. Mrs. Elizabeth
Tenney received by bequest of Reverend Ezekiel Rogers ;£io in 1 660-1.
In the survey of the town of Rowley in 1643 ^^ acre-and-a-half house-lot
on Homes street was registered to Thomas Tenney, " bounded on the south
side by John Haseltine's house-lot, and the east end by the streete." (Gage,
123.) It was bounded on the north side by the two-acre house-lot of Rob-
ert Haseltine. This lot is now owned and occupied by the Primes, having
been purchased of Daniel Tenney by Mark Prime in 1701, and has had a
store thereon ever since. It is now bounded on the south by the home-
stead of George B. Blodgette, Esq. The house erected by Thomas Tenney,
Senior, was torn down by Captain Daniel N. Prime in 1838. " In a Survey
of the Several Gates or Commonages belonging vnto The Severall Inhab-
itants of the Town of Rowley as They are now in possession," taken 4 Feb-
ruary, 1 661, are the following entries to Thomas Tenney and his wife,
Elizabeth : —
" To Thomas Tenney as to an acre and halfe lot and one gate
given by the towne, two and halfe ." 2-halfe.
purchased of francis parrat, one gate i-gate.
purchased of the town, one halfe gate halfe gate.
To Elizabeth Tenney allias parrat, as belonging to francis parrat's
two two Acre lot, seaven gates vnsold 7 Gates.
purchased of William hobson Sixe gates 6 gates."
In 1667, by division of the Island marshes, he received land. (Gage,
1 50-1.) In 1670, by division of Merrimack land, he received land. (Gage,
347-8.) In a division of 1673-4 he received land. (Gage, 138.) There was
no settlement on the lot northwest of Simon's Brook until after the day of
Thomas Tenney, Senior, (Blodgette.) This lot is one-half mile east of Long
Hill, and is now owned by Mrs. M. J. (Tenney) Hathaway. The town
records style him Ensi^^Mar shall vck 1653-66; Warner of town meetings,
1650-53-60-61-66; Overseer of plains, 1656-64-71 ; Selectman, 1660-61-70;
Viewer of fences, highways, and chimneys, 1669; Constable, 1665-66; Tith-
ingman, 1680. Several records of intervening years are lost, and there
are no records of admission to the church for a period of twenty-six years.
The church record may have been lost in the conflagration of Rev. Mr.
Rogers' house. Thomas Tenney is in the list of church members under
date of 1669, and may have been long a member. The last years of hi^ life
were passed in Bradford, Mass., as seen by deed, viz. : " Thomas Tenney of
Bradford (a gift) to Eldest son John Tenney of Bradford, sixty acres of land
in Bradford, now in possession of John Wood, also three acres of meadow
at Crane Pond in Rowley, also six acres . . . also one and one fourth
arcre . . . also six acres and 2 cow-gates; "dated 15 June, 1694. (Essex
Deeds, 13:119.) He died in Bradford 20 February, 1 699-1 700, and is buried
in the Old Cemetery, where his grave is marked by a dark slate-stone.
Came to USA on the ship John of London
Our English home was Rowley, County of Yorkshire, England. It is situated near the great waterway, the River Humber, an estuary of the North Sea. Rowley is six miles from the south bank of the Humber, twenty miles inland from Spurn Head, and three hundred feet above sea level. It is delightfully located on the top of high hills called the "Yorkshire Wolds."
A letter written in 1852 by a lawyer residing near Rowley, describes the place as follows:
"Rowley is a small hamlet with not more than a dozen houses and some fifty to sixty inhabitants who are engaged in agriculture. It has neither trade nor institutions. Relatively, it was undoubtedly a more important place in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries than it is at the present time. The church parish is comprised of four other hamlets in addition to Rowley."

2011 Toyota Avalon
marv15 Posts: 32I agree with you. Other then the styling I was turned off by the interior. So I traded my Avalon 2011 for the 2012 that I will keep for a long time since the 2013 is a trend I don't like. I test drove it and found it finding every bump and letting me know about it. The 2011 or 12 is a softer ride that I enjoy and bigger inside.0
Thanks for the update about the 2013 vs 2012 Avalon's. I don't even want to bother to look at a 2013 now. Again thank you for that update.0
ncee Posts: 419I'm just sad that they took a Very Nice Luxury car, and destroyed it:(
Yes, in my opinion.
Ok, so they didn't destroy it, but it is now a Very Nice SPORTS Luxury Sedan, and I have come to appreciate the Avalon as a True Luxury Sedan.
IF they had made this New Model, the same size as the 2010, 11, 12's, and gave it the same ride (or more comfortable), I think, it would have sold just as well. I say this, because it would have LOOKED the same as it does, just been a better car. And if folks are buying because of the new Look, Style, Fit, and trim, then why wouldn't folks still have purchased it, if it was a bit bigger, a bit smoother and a bit more quiet?
jwillin Posts: 16Wow. What a loss. I have a 2011 Avalon which means I will be keeping it for awhile. The 2013 doesn't sound very exciting to drive or even to own. After they decreased the size of the trunk, the only thing to like about the Avalon is that it is so big or has a large interior. You can really stretch out in it and enjoy the ride and also driving it. Thanks for the info.0
I'm just sad that they took a Very Nice Luxury car, and destroyed it:(
I know what you are saying. Of course they didnt' destroy the car. I bet there are some that even love the NEW 2013 Avalon. HOWEVER, overall, I personally think they are getting away from their base sales. My opinion is that the older people are the main ones that buy these cars. I guess I'm old, I'm 56. Not old enough to be call old but feeling older.
I like the 2011 Avalon because it is big, I love the ride and don't mind paying a little more to ride around in luxury. Thanks for the input. I'll be keeping my for a while, unless I get that 32 thousand I'm asking.0
nvbanker Posts: 7,285I haven't owned an Avalon, but have respected them ever since 05 model debuted. I would be happy in one. The 12 especially impresses me, love the cabin.
My Lexus dealer told me, Toyota and Lexus is following the BMW lead, and moving toward producing a "reliable BMW". That means sportier, faster, and if you look at the stying trend of the dash, it's almost a knock off of the BMW dash, right down to the Mouse. Every manufacturer for decades has tried to reduce the average age of their buyers, Cadillac, Lincoln, Lexus, all of them. Yet, to me, that's a little odd since old guys have the money generally, and there continues to be a vast demand for luxosedanolas, like the Avalon. Pretty soon, 60 year old guys like me are going to be looking hard for a new car with a quiet, smooth ride and lots of relaxing room. Where will we go? I don't see what's so wrong with making one Avalon type model with these characteristics. Sure, we are all dying off, BUT, they make a new batch of 60 years olds EVERY DAY!!! We do renew....0
chris_top_he_r Posts: 1Hot spit! I just registered here 2 minutes ago so don't know this user interface yet. Hope this goes to gringoviejo. If you or anyone wants our 2000 Avalon XLS we're trying to sell. All garage kept and dealer serviced. About 60K miles, absolutely great shape. Had it detailed. Current offer at $6500 and drives like a new car. Trying to get closer to $8000. Under hood looks newish also. Tring to fix a flashing light problem right now on it to help the sale. Other major forum lists different things to check. Starting tomorrow since dealer found nothing while having car for three days. Any advice is always welcome.0
Good cheap car are usually easy to sell. The part of the country you live in DOES make a difference.
Seems like you have a pretty good ad started. I would mention any damage, if any, tell if it's a one owner mention that, etc, Plus the report card everyone is looking at today. Having a senior moment fire fox, something like that. Oh yea, clean car fax report. Don't lie about wrecks. The one owner I bought had nothing about the accident it was in. YET, the car had been hit on the back corner. An expert can spot it every time.
Hope this helps,0
jim3 Posts: 19Drove into my son's yesterday, temp 14 degrees. We had the heater set-up high and floor heat. For most of the 2 and a half hour trip the floor heat was very good but the blower was blowing cool air all the way. Later on in the day we took the car out and got warm air blowing out the vents. Is there something I'm missing here? Or is the heater screwing up?0
Looking forward to the replies you get. The heat has been a thorn in my side since I go the car. Mine heats well for about 30 miles and then it starts with the cooler air. I've found I can adjust manually and get better results.0
If you are using auto mode at some point the system is going to start blending in cooler air to maintain set temperature.
When it starts blowing cool, crank the temperature up all the way. As long as it starts blowing hot air, all is fine.
If you don't like auto mode, just crank the temp and adjust the blower speed manually.

neil1 Posts: 20My wife and I had heater issues on a long road trip late last year - enough to get the owners manual out and try to resolve it. Never did! The car was loaded with Christmas presents and we could not figure out a way to stop the rear floor level heat coming in and baking the stuff on the floor.0
As I said before I have to use it manually. I don;t like this. Why have auto. Why have my other cars worked fine on auto. This is the first car where it ever been a thought.0
IDK, any car I've ever owned with Auto Temp started blowing cool air after awhile while heating. My 00 Solara and 06 Avalon did it as well as both of my current cars. If the cabin would get cool, the system will warm it up.

I have found with both my Avalons, 2008 and 2012, that in auto mode hot/warm air flows initially, but them cooler air comes from the upper vents....bi-level mode. At that point I switch to manual mode and "foot" mode and warm air returns. I only use auto at the beginning. Auto works fine at all times in the A/C mode.0
Exactly, even my 12 Buick does that. I just manually select "floor" and the system still maintains the proper temperature.

I have a 2011 and have never bothered to use Auto. I set the temp and fan speed and adjust as necessary. If I set it at 75, I assume it stays there without the need for an auto setting. If the sun is out in winter, my upper body may be hot, so I use the foot setting to heat my feet. In summer, I need more upper A/C due to the solar heat. I have noticed that using recirculate causes a COLDER cabin temp in the winter when it seems it should be warmer without outside air. It's always done this, so I adjust if needed.
My complaint is that the remote works from about 2-3 cars away. NO amount of dealer changes has fixed this. Toyota refunded my $500 remote start cost since it won't work. I called Toyota's main US office and they said the average distance is 'up to 75 feet, less if there is interference'. WHAT? The dealer said it would be as little as 25'. What's the use of a remote starter if I have to be standing beside the car and still not be able to start? Then when the door is opened, the engine stops. VERY disappointed in the remote distance. On my 3rd set of remotes and each set has been worse.0
My 4th Avalon is a 2011 and it took me a few months to realize the height of the left, right outside rear view mirrors that also fold in are placed considerable higher than my 2004 and earlier style bodies. For me being short these higher position mirrors easliy block the view of a vehicle approaching from either the left or right The only thing to do is further evevate the seat to try to get the line of sight more above the mirrors. The fold in mirrors are not a plus as the mirror area is smaller and more difficult to see around that my '95, '98, '04 Avalons.0
I'm not short, but I'm not tall either 5'10", There is a blind spot but I know it's there so I'm very careful about switching lanes. I have thought about buying a smaller mirror to fit in the corner of the bigger mirror. I'm curious if anyone out there has had this problem and bought a smaller mirror. I also have a 2011 Avalon, 23 thousand miles and counting. Love the car!
I seen a 2013 Avalon go down the road the other day. There seems to be a big difference in the size of the cars. For me, the 2013 simply does do it for me.0
nimimi Posts: 249You can set your outside mirrors to eliminate the blind spots. Visit cartalk.com to learn how. If you have a limited and need to adjust your mirrors to back up, they automatically move to the driving setting when you reenter the car or press the settings button.0
What I mean by a blocked view is a vehicle approaching from either the left or right at an intersection for example a small car or motorcycle at a certain point the view of it is hidden by the mirror itself being higher than the lower edge of the window. Happened twice I almost pulled out in front of an approaching vehicle particularly from the right to the left. Just must be VERY AWARE of that possibility.0
2011 Limited Avalon. Has anyone found instructions in the 2011 owners manual for do it yourself change of engine air filter. Looks like a few items need to be loosened to get filter out of compartment. Have not found any instructions. Always replaced my own engine air filters on '95,'98 and '04 Avalon owned. What am I missing in the manual?0
I was recently stranded in my 2011 Avalon because the $5 battery in my Smart Key went dead. What a poor system design when the battery goes dead without any warning. A small red dot warning light indicating a weak battery should be included.0
tkaz Posts: 69Any reason you couldn't take the metal key out of the Smart Key to unlock the door and then hold the Smart Key right next to the Start button to start the car?0
The solution "tkaz" suggested was told to me by my dealer upon purchase. I have never needed to try it, but it is supposed to work. I have the battery changed once a year when I go in for servicing. They are inexpensive, usually a little over $3.00, so it's a small investment for peace of mind.0
When I first bought my 2011, I was told several times by the salesman, "if the batter goes dead in your FOB, you won't be able to get in your car".
Your the first person I heard of getting stranded. I hope this never happens to me, especially since I don't walk that good. I think, I'll buy an extra battery to get prepared. My wife usually goes with me most places though. It's very doubtful this will happen to both of us at the same time. ???
Thanks for sharing,0
You can open the door with the metal key in your key fob. There are instructions in your manual on how to start the car by holding the key fob over the start button. I printed them and keep them... rats, I forgot WHERE I keep them, but they're somewhere in the car so I don't have to search the manual or in case the manual isn't in the car.0
fin atlantaPosts: 594Should never happen. Car can be opened and started with the key fob and no battery present in the fob. Instructions on what to do "if the fob battery dies" are in the owner's manual and described above. This is true of many cars not just Avalons...0
Here's a tip, besides the other tips you already received. At least it worked for me with garage door openers and other battery operated things in the past. Take the battery out, then reinstall it. Usually there is still a little juice in the battery and by taking it out, well, it might be enough to start your car or open the door. I've tried this on countless battery operated things and always works. I'm guessing it would work on the fob. Hope this helps,0
Because no one ever told me and I did not read every page in the owners manual.0

The CA Technologies solutions have streamlined IT support and service delivery to enable cost savings. They enable us to provide better customer services to safeguard satisfaction as our branch network and customer base grows.

Punjab National Bank (PNB) has more than 5,000 branches and six crore customers as of September 30, 2010. It has the distinction of being the first bank fully owned, managed and administered by Indians.
To safeguard customer service levels, PNB must ensure its banking solution remains highly available. With a growing branch network and only manual IT support processes, this was becoming increasingly challenging.
PNB has implemented a range of CA Technologies solutions to simplify the management of 2,000 user requests per month, improve problem resolution, automate software delivery and enhance capacity planning.
PNB has reduced fix times by 60 percent and increased first line resolution, contributing to an ROI of 165 percent. Improved IT management will help safeguard customer service levels as the bank grows.

Cleaning isn't a hassle. On the wort side I run acid 5 and pbw about every 3 brews and it stays just as clean as the day i put it all together.
any kind of welders or metal shops in your town?
Interesting note about the cleaning frequency. I would have thought you need to clean with PBW after every brew. Do you just rinse with water on the non-PBW cleanings?
yeah. even if the pump is at the lowest point of the system if you're pumping back up the air bubble can stick in the pump head making it extremely hard to prime, however on the outlet side of the pump install a t with a valve so you can bleed the air out of the pump allowing it to prime easier.
