Alliance surmounts obstacles to keep candle burning for the June 4 vigil
It's long been Hong Kong's most visible June 4 remembrance. But the candlelight vigil's organisers this year faced unprecedented challenges
Related topics
For 24 years, a group of Hongkongers has ensured that the city honours the protesters of Tiananmen Square with a public grieving - an event too dangerous to stage on the mainland.
This year, despite rival protests in Hong Kong and efforts by mainland authorities to quash commemorations there, at least 100,000 people gathered in Victoria Park last night to remember the Chinese citizens who pushed for democracy in 1989.
Since the first anniversary of the bloody crackdown, the candlelight vigil in Victoria Park has become the leading annual event of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China. As it continues to fight for democracy on the mainland, the alliance has recently faced unprecedented challenges - tighter surveillance, more detentions, a split in Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp, and even competing commemorations.
Of course, the group's biggest goals have yet to be met: the release of all dissidents, and convincing the government to accurately account for the slaughter, including its reasons for using deadly force on peaceful demonstrators. "Reverse the verdict on June 4. Fight to the end," is the this year's slogan.
Watch: Hong Kong hosts China's largest -- and only -- 25th anniversary Tiananmen remembrance rally
"It has already been 25 years. We are worried. Hongkongers feel a sense of helplessness," said the alliance's chairman, Lee Cheuk-yan. A veteran lawmaker, he carried donations from Hongkongers to the protesters in 1989.
The alliance has had an eventful year. The group expanded its mission with April's opening of the world's first permanent museum dedicated to the crackdown, in Tsim Sha Tsui, and has raised HK$6 million towards its HK$9.76 million cost. Members have continued to spread information about jailed activists. But the sense of accomplishment has been overshadowed by friction.
Lee said he had been encouraged by the enthusiasm of mainland visitors to find out about the history of June 4. But he's been unnerved by the severity of the mainland authorities' suppression of rights activists before the 25th anniversary. Five people were detained after attending a seminar to discuss June 4, while Ding Zilin , founder of the Tiananmen Mothers' support group, was barred from returning to Beijing from Wuxi in Jiangsu province, her hometown. The detentions have stoked fears of a new and coordinated government plan to suppress liberal intellectuals. "The mainland regime has never before been so tense," Lee said.
The operation of the museum is being challenged, as the building's owners lodged a lawsuit, saying the use of the flat contravened the occupation permit.
"These are challenges we didn't face before. But we will persist. The June 4 museum will continue to run," Lee said. The museum has welcomed as many as 500 visitors on peak days, with an estimated 30 to 40 per cent from the mainland.
This year, the candlelight vigil has faced opposition from groups unhappy with the alliance's approach or its historical interpretation.
Four pan-democrat groups planned an alternative rally in Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday. Lawmaker Wong Yuk-man, who leads one of the groups, The Proletariat Political Institute, said the alliance's annual vigil was "too ceremonial" and routine.
Wong Yeung-tat, a member of Civic Passion, another participant in the alternative rally, said they wanted to harness the energy it generated to push for democracy in Hong Kong before the 2017 election.
"Unlike the alliance, we don't want to just create an atmosphere of sadness,'' Wong Yeungtat said. "Instead we will focus the discussion on Hong Kong's constitutional reform as an issue of local concern. We will mobilise participants to occupy the Legislative Council if the government lays out a reform proposal which allows Beijing to screen chief executive candidates."
Lee defended the alliance's approach. "Why should we change the format?" he asked. "Some people find me defensive, but I don't think we should make gimmicks … The June 4 candlelight vigil is not a carnival."
Some pro-Beijing groups have accused the alliance of misleading the public. At the museum's launch, , the group 6.4 Truth - then comprising five organisations, including the Justice Alliance and Defend Hong Kong Campaign - carried banners and wreaths to mourn the military deaths "caused by the students' riot". They also accused Lee of misleading people, saying there were deaths, but no massacre.
The alliance maintains a database of 202 victims' names, but says countless more died.
Patrick Ko Tat-pun, chairman of Voice of Loving Hong Kong, formerly a member organisation of 6.4 Truth, said his group would operate a booth outside Victoria Park last night to tell another side of the Tiananmen story. It showed a video claiming that no one died in Tiananmen Square.
"Objectively speaking, there were deaths and injuries and some civilians and students were shot [during protests in 1989]. However, it was not a 'massacre' as claimed by the alliance," Ko said in a debate on Monday with Lee on an RTHK radio broadcast. "The Chinese government had no choice but to take action."
Ko said the alliance and Lee encouraged the crackdown. "Lee Cheuk-yan, you and the alliance were the culprit," he said. "Had you not brought money to the students in Beijing, they would have run out of resources and eventually left."
Lee said the killings were a result of internal rifts in the Communist Party that fostered a power struggle.
Meanwhile, younger activists are pushing Lee and the alliance to attract new members.
The alliance's youth group chairwoman, Ashley Chau Man-fong, said the alliance had not paid enough attention to grooming youth.
Chau, who turns 25 next month, was elected to the alliance's 20-member standing committee last year. She said that while the youth group was active and had attracted student members in years past, members had lost momentum and seemed to exist only to volunteer at the alliance's activities. The group's youth are planning movie screenings and readings.
"Since the 1990s, people were already saying that the alliance is getting old or becoming male-dominated," she said. "So I wanted to rebuild a systematic platform … in which its members are [strong] in political discourse and critical thinking."
Younger citizens identified themselves as Hongkongers, not Chinese citizens, and were more sceptical about Beijing, she said.
Lee said the alliance believed it was important to pass on the fight for democracy to the younger generation, but it would not try to impose its views on young people.
"Patriotism can't be imposed and we won't persuade our young members to love China," Lee said. "Instead we will present them with facts about what the government has done during June 4. Even from a universal rights perspective, they will be moved."

Happy New Year! My brother & I along with some friends are interested in visiting Berlin, Brussels, & Prague for 10-12 days end of May/beginning of June 2014 and have never been to any of these countries (not our first time to Europe). We have done some research on other cities to also see in Germany & Belgium. We are completely lost on which country to fly into first and how to go about traveling to the others. I have looked at the train schedule on bahn.com. Would anyone be able to suggest on how to go about planning a trip with the countries we're interested in? We are foodies, love outdoor activities, arts/culture, medieval history, and taking day trips.
Thinking of visiting Bruge, Munich, & maybe Frankfurt however have not finished finalizing our itinerary and need advice & ideas. For example, do we fly into Berlin, stay a few days, then take either plane or train to Brussels, stay a few days, then head to Germany?
Would appreciate any feedback...thank you so much...

Suggested itinerary for Berlin, Brussels, & Prague
Report Abuse
A good guide book or two should serve you very well. For a 10-12 day trip, you should probably limit yourself to AT MOST 3 destinations. Unfortunately, none of us can tell you what you and your friends will find most interesting, so you really need to do a bit more research.
Enjoy your planning!

As per kja, don't try to cram too much in to a short time. Three CITIES (not countries) for that amount of time are more than enough, in fact, I'd go so far as to suggest just Berlin and Prague for this time around. And you could throw in Dresden for a night or two.
Why not fly in to Berlin, spend 5 nights (4 full days, allowing for a little jet lag on day 1) so you can explore the city and do a day trip (Sachsenhausen or Sanssouci depending on your interests). Then take a short train ride to Dresden, spend 1-2 nights, then the train to Prague and spend the rest of your time there. Again, time for a day trip or two. Then fly out of Prague.
Report Abuse
I'm confused. Are you going to Berlin, Brussels, and Prague or Bruges, Munich, and Frankfurt?
First decide where you're going. Then look at airfares to those cities and see where you have the best options. Then take trains between locations. With 12 days I would visit Berlin and Prague and leave the rest for other trips.
As far as day trips, you only have 12 days maximum and are looking at 3 cities for each itinerary. You don't have any time for day trips. I'm not clear why "day trips" is a sightseeing criterion.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for your suggestions, very much appreciated. Bruges, Munich, Frankfurt were just ideas if we had time to train to, to see other cities. Brussels was really my brother's idea since he has always wanted to visit there. It looks as though I need to discuss with the others what exactly they wish to see and so forth. Again, thanks for the ideas. I definitely need to research a bit more

000 ABNT20 KNHC 310557 TWOAT TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 200 AM EDT SUN JUL 31 2016 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A fast-moving tropical wave is nearing the Lesser Antilles. Although showers and thunderstorms are fairly well-organized, there are currently no signs a closed surface circulation. However, this system has the potential for some slow development during the next couple of days, but the best chance for tropical cyclone formation is likely to be by the early to middle part of next week when the wave reaches the western Caribbean Sea. This system is expected to bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico today. Shower and thunderstorm activity should spread westward across the eastern Caribbean Sea and Hispaniola by tonight and on Monday. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this disturbance. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure system centered about 650 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde islands has changed little in organization. This system is moving westward at 10 to 15 mph, and development, if any, should be slow to occur due to unfavorable upper-level winds. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent $$ Forecaster Stewart

|Re: Indexing Forums (Document & Field Paradigm)
|Mon, 27 Jun 2005 23:54:43 GMT
Simply storing a parentId doesn't help query the hierarchy though - for example, search for all "lucene" containing documents in a specific forum thread, children and all. One technique I've used to index hierarchy is to come up with a path string such as "/parent/child/grandchild" and index that as a non- tokenized field. Querying for all documents under "/parent" is as simple as a PrefixQuery.

About meI have been an avid reader most of my life and simply cannot imagine a world without books. I will pick up any book that intrigues me (yes, I can be initially drawn to a book by the artwork on the cover) and I am always open to new authors. I can lose myself for hours browsing the shelves and book piles in a bookstore and have resigned myself to the fact that I will never find the time to read all the books that I want to read.... but that is not going to stop me from trying!
About my libraryPredominantly fiction with some non-fiction thrown in. This library represents books I have finished reading as of the start of 2008, as well as books I own that are part of my ever growing TBR pile. With the unveiling of Collections, I have added the more memorable books read and owned prior to 2008. Books discarded unfinished will now comprise the Abandoned collection of my library, to remind me of the clunkers as well.

Thank you for a most memorable weekend, Thanks to your lovely Home! We will be starting a new tradition and will be back every year. Your home is absolutely beautiful! we count want to come back
Our Group consisted of four adults and one teenager. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for us with our daughter using the twin that was in our room that also had a queen. My parents had their own room and bath at the other end of the house. The bathrooms were large with a nice offering of sample size shampoos and lotions. Dinning room had a large table to accommodate large gatherings. Kitchen was extremely well stocked, the only thing we couldn't find were steak knifes. We did buy a few miss matched ones at a thrift store and left them. The house was nicely decorated for Christmas including a tree and lights. My only complaint about the décor was the furniture in the living room looked attractive but was not very comfortable.
The back yard is large, private and full of unique and eclectic playful décor items hidden in the trees and bushes. One of my favorite memories is sitting in the backyard at night with the fire pit going and a big beautiful chandelier lit hanging from a old tree. We made friends with a black kitten who loved being around the fire pit. Plenty of red oak wood was available for the fire pit and live fire grill to cook on. The house is located in a very quiet area with a supermarket about 10 minutes driving distance. A miniature horse ranch just minutes away and a miniature donkey farm walking distance. A bottle of local Clairmont Farms lavender lotion in the bathroom prompted a short trip to the local farm to purchase my own along with pure oils. Chumash Casino is about 15 minutes away offering free play money to Los Angeles visitors who sign up for their playing club, I was given $100.00 in free slot play money (still Lost:( )
Owner Henry was quick to respond to any questions I had.
We would definitely recommend this house for a family or two couples looking for a nice getaway.
We arrived the Day after Christmas
We stayed here last thanksgiving. It was great because we had every kitchen utensil we needed and were able to have a great thanksgiving dinner. The yard was so beautiful to sit in at night. There are wineries that are walking distance and also there is a cute miniature donkey farm that we walked to. I'd definitely stay here again!
A lovely retreat in the valley. Summer nights around the fire pit were a perfect way to end a day of wine tasting and sight seeing.
This place was perfect for us to stay. It's nested right between Solvang and Los Olivos so you can go to the more touristy Danish town of Solvang or you can get away and go to Santa Ynez, Los Olivos, and up to Foxen Canyon and some other great wineries.
The home was really darling. I hope to come back in the late summer or fall when the weather warms up and make use of that beautiful patio. It was a little windy when we came up in early March.
Wonderful place for a peaceful, relaxed getaway retreat. The place was fully stocked with every amenity you could think of. Upscale but modest with gorgeous scenery and warm and friendly atmosphere. The neighborhood is quiet and commercial wineries are within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and we are going back soon!
This place is perfect! The home is very well furnished and equipped. This made for a very comfortable stay for the four of us. We cooked and ate here, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the patio and the grounds.
The house was immaculate and was even better than it looked in the pictures.
The location is minutes from Solvang and Los Olivos. The area is quiet and restful.
We definitely would recommend this to friends and family.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The image of Christen Press' teammates piling on her in the seconds after her overtime blast against UCLA sent Stanford to its first championship match Sunday against North Carolina will define a night.
The words that define the weekend were left to UCLA coach Jillian Ellis.
No regrets.
"I thought my team left it all out on the field," Ellis said after Stanford's 2-1 national semifinal win Friday at Aggie Soccer Stadium.
That's how Ellis summed up a night when her team found that everything it had wasn't quite good enough. The difference wasn't effort, heart or any of those familiarly vague conveniences. Both teams possessed such things in abundance. The difference was what Stanford did when in possession of the ball.
As also held true for North Carolina against Notre Dame in the only-slightly-less-dramatic nightcap on a frigid Texas night, the Cardinal won because they were the better team. And because over more than 90 minutes of end-to-end soccer, filled with all the usual near misses and lucky bounces either way, the tournament's undefeated top seed operated at a slightly higher plane of excellence.
And in a game in which it was no easy task to claim top individual billing -- given the competition from the likes of Lauren Cheney and Sydney Leroux -- Stanford's goals came on sensational efforts from forwards Kelley O'Hara and Press, the players who best exemplify Cardinal excellence as they rewrite the school's record books.
"It was fitting that two of the best strikers in the country scored goals for us to defeat them," Stanford coach Paul Ratcliffe said in the chilly aftermath.
Stanford played the first half not only against the Bruins' back line but also against a breeze that felt stiffer than the 13 miles per hour officially credited on site. Press acknowledged that the wind forced the Cardinal to adjust, playing the ball exclusively on the ground and taking an element of O'Hara's and Press' speed out of the equation on long balls. As a result -- despite owning a noticeable advantage in possession -- they survived as much as thrived in the opening 45 minutes, needing a strong save from keeper Kira Maker on a Kristina Larsen shot to go in tied 0-0 at halftime.
But Stanford's success this season isn't built just on being able to withstand slow starts on the scoreboard (the team has scored 55 of its 80 goals after halftime). Its success is predicated on trusting that, rain, shine or wind, nobody can stay with this group of skilled attacking players and nimble defenders for 90 minutes or more.
"I think it's expected from our team," Ratcliffe said of the scoreless first half. "The type of style we play is possession, so you're kind of working the ball around, trying to wear the team down or try to find the openings. And usually in the second half, hopefully, we wear teams down a little bit and create chances. Even tonight, we could have won in regulation. We had a couple of chances, and we were just unfortunate."
So it was that O'Hara found herself beyond the corner of the 18-yard box with just under 27 minutes to play, taking two touches to her right and firing a perfect shot into the upper corner. Of course, she found herself there only after Press perfectly corralled a long ball from Alicia Jenkins, laid off the lob to Lindsay Taylor, got it back on a quick touch and sent the ball to O'Hara for her bit of individual brilliance.
And after Cheney answered with the tying goal, it was Press who seized a long ball from Ali Riley that UCLA's Dea Cook had headed away from O'Hara, and skidded a shot low and hard to the far post to ignite the celebration just under four minutes into overtime.
"I just remember thinking through the whole overtime that, as a forward, you're going to have a chance, and I just had to be ready for the one opening," Press said. "Because I felt for a lot of the game, I wasn't really getting that involved as I would like to. So I was just thinking, 'The one chance is going to come, and when [it] does, [I've] just got to shoot hard and low, like Paul told us for the second half.' And it worked out."
[In] years past, it leaves a bit of a sour taste, certainly in losing. But this team has been phenomenally special to me. No regrets.
"-- UCLA coach Jillian Ellis, on the Bruins' semifinal loss to Stanford
Roughly two hours after Press made those comments, just as Notre Dame started to make what was left of a frozen crowd of more than 8,000 think an underdog that had been outplayed for an hour might pull off something miraculous, reigning Hermann Trophy winner Casey Nogueira slotted home a perfect cross from Lucy Bronze for the only goal North Carolina ultimately needed.
In the end, class prevailed Friday night.
"They were the better team, no doubt about it," Notre Dame coach Randy Waldrum said.
Like Waldrum, who won a national title in 2004 but now has four successive College Cup disappointments, Ellis was both subdued and proud in defeat. Coaching in her seventh consecutive College Cup, Ellis had the experience and class to acknowledge the reality of the moment: Her team played well enough to win -- gave itself opportunities that on another night might have led to a win. But it wasn't the best team on the field.
Maybe in years past there were times she walked away thinking her team could have done more. Not on this night.
"And I think, yeah, in years past, it leaves a bit of a sour taste, certainly in losing," Ellis said of the experience. "But this team has been phenomenally special to me. No regrets."
Sunday's winner won't be the team that wants it the most. As UCLA proved, in this day and age, it's difficult to get to this stage if you don't want it a whole lot. It will be the team that plays the best soccer.
Good thing we have the two best teams in America.
"I think we have to stay humble and realize the job's not done," Ratcliffe said. "We have one more step to take. That's what I told the team at the end; we have one more step. As much as it was exciting and it was a great win, we want to win on Sunday. We want to win the national title. That's our goal."
Lace 'em up and let the best team win. No regrets.

Few people on campus know how things should be done to give accurate guidance.
I enjoy the classes its just that the campus lacks newer technology.
In a way kind of the best

Can Essiac Tea Control Cancer?
What can you tell me about "Essiac tea" for cancer treatment? Is it the same as "Flor•Essence"? Is either of them worthwhile for someone undergoing chemotherapy?
Answer (Published 3/6/2007)
Essiac (pronounced "EH-see-ak") tea was first popularized in Canada in the 1920s by a nurse named Renée Caisse who heard about it from a woman who claimed that her breast cancer had been cured with an herbal brew prepared by an Objibwa healer. Caisse opened a clinic and treated thousands of patients with her version of the tea (Essiac is Caisse spelled backward) before the Canadian government shut her down. At some point, Caisse modified Essiac by adding additional herbs and calling her new brew "Flor•Essence®."

Essiac contains four herbs: burdock root, Indian rhubarb root, sheep sorrel, and slippery elm. Flor•Essence® includes those four plus watercress, blessed thistle, red clover and kelp. Both Essiac and Flor•Essence® are said to work against cancer by strengthening the immune system. Their promoters say that the teas can be used with other forms of cancer treatment. However, some Essiac promoters irresponsibly advise against chemotherapy and other conventional treatments when using the tea to help it work effectively. This is a reckless and dangerous recommendation. There is no clinical evidence that either Essiac or Flor•Essence® has any anti-cancer activity.
A number of animal studies have investigated the effects of Essiac and Flor•Essence® on cancer. None has found that either product does any good. In fact, a 2004 study at the National Cancer Institute showed that Flor•Essence® can promote the growth of mammary tumors in rats. The study was published in the November 2004 issue of Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.
While there's no evidence that Essiac or Flor•Essence® can help control cancer, both can have unpleasant side effects. Essiac can cause nausea and vomiting, and Flor•Essence® has been reported to cause increased bowel movements, frequent urination, swollen glands, skin blemishes, flu-like symptoms, and slight headaches.
And, for the record, Renée Caisse never revealed the exact formula she used to make her original Essiac tea, so no one knows which, if any of the products on the market today, best approximates her brew. Similarly, we know nothing about the strength of Caisse's tea or the frequency of dosage she recommended.
My advice? Avoid it.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Honda CR-V
By KBB.com Editors
When the Honda CR-V first appeared in 1997, the CUV landscape had a far different look than it does today. Then, the market offered very few compact four-wheel-drive wagon/CUV crosses, and the new Honda was the head of a very small class. These days, small crossovers are all the rage, offering the tall ride height and cargo carrying ability of a mid-size SUV, ample ground clearance and the sure-footed traction of all-wheel-drive. Yet, while many of its competitors have grown larger and thirstier, the CR-V remains true to its roots, which may explain why it continues to top the compact CUV sales chart year after year.
Few vehicles do as many things as well as the 2010 Honda CR-V. As practical as a backpack, this benchmark crossover is an easy, stylish one-size-fits-most car choice.
There's little pizzazz in practical. If you chafe in sensible shoes, a compact crossover may not be the right fit for you. If you're looking to venture off-road, the CR-V's part-time 4WD system is no match for the Symmetrical All-Wheel-Drive system found in the more capable Subaru Forester.
For 2010, the CR-V receives a freshened front end, hood and rear bumper. Engine output is up 14 horsepower to a respectable 180 horsepower; also new are 10-spoke alloy wheels, a USB audio interface (EX-L trims only) and the addition of Bluetooth cell phone connectivity to navigation-equipped models.
On the road, the 2010 Honda CR-V has a well-integrated feel. The four-cylinder engine is right-sized for daily driving duties and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The only interruption to...
... the quiet inside the cabin is some noise from the engine in high-demand situations, such as when the transmission kicks down to a lower gear for passing. Beyond that, there's not much road noise and little wind noise, even when the moonroof (standard on EX and EX-L) is open. The CR-V has a cushioned ride that belies its size and handling is stable and predictable. Visibility is good in all directions, even to the rear. The four-wheel-drive system is automatic, requiring no input from the driver, and shifts up to 70 percent of available torque from front to rear wheels as needed for improved traction.
Refined Ride Quality
A compact car with a big-car ride, the CR-V has a composed feel, easily rolling over rough roads without ruffling the passengers.
Sensible Size, Flexible Floor Plan
Right-sized, real-world dimensions and a highly adaptable interior are two reasons why the CR-V is Honda's biggest seller worldwide.
The 2010 Honda CR-V's defining feature is a highly flexible floor plan. Split rear seats fold easily and tumble forward. Doing so increases cargo capacity from a generous minimum of 35.7 cubic feet to a maximum of 72.9 cubic feet. Lift-over height in back is low. Second-row seats also recline slightly and the headrests have been designed for a visibility-enhancing low profile when not in use. Rear-seat travel is adjustable fore and aft, but long-legged folk may find the front seats don't have enough travel to fully accommodate them. All trim levels benefit from wider fold-down, inside armrests. Rear-seat legroom is not as generous as in pervious generation CR-Vs, but those under six feet can still fit front and rear simultaneously. The CR-V's dual-dial dash is an easy read, controls and switchgear are all within arm's reach and simple to operate and inside storage areas abound.
The first two generations of the CR-V made their marks by combining exceptional utility with enviable reliability. They were high function, but low fashion. The current CR-V, however, has turned all that around. Honda aims to lay claim to that portion of the new buyers flocking to this segment who are style-conscious; to that end, the 2010 Honda CR-V's still-practical package is wrapped in a decidedly fashion-forward design. The side view is dramatically different than most boxy SUVs, with an elliptically-shaped greenhouse. Up front are slash-cut headlamps and a laid-back windshield, while around back is a large rear hatch with no hatch-mounted spare tire to complicate entrance. Ground clearance is a generous 6.7 inches.
The 2010 Honda CR-V is offered in three trim levels: LX, EX, and EX-L. Standard across the board is a tire-pressure-monitoring system, 17-inch wheels, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, an MP3/auxilliary audio input jack, speed-sensitive volume control and a "conversation mirror" on the back of the sun visor. LX and EX models have a retractable center tray table between the front seats, while EX-L versions have a fixed, floor-mounted console. Two covered storage containers are included – the larger of which is big enough to hold 24 CDs. EX and EX-L models gain a folding, removable, dual-level shelf in the cargo bay for added storage options, while the EX-L has a 10-way power driver's seat including power lumbar support, dual-zone automatic climate control and an upgraded audio system, with 270 watts of power, a six-disc, center console-mounted CD changer, seven speakers (including subwoofer), USB input and a digital audio-card reader.
Honda's Real Time four-wheel-drive system is available on all trim levels. A GPS navigation system with a large, six-and-a-half-inch screen, voice recognition, Bluetooth and rearview camera function is offered on EX-L models.
The 2010 Honda CR-V has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 180 horsepower and delivers its 161 pound-feet of torque across a wider power band than previously. The four-cylinder engine is linked exclusively to a five-speed automatic transmission. The loss of an available five-speed manual transmission – formerly standard equipment on previous generation CR-Vs – may be lamented by mileage maximizers, but Honda says that the demand for stick-shift CR-Vs among buyers was just too low.

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 165,000overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Practical and reliable, great for college students"
Cons: "more powerful engine, not the best looking car"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This car was given to me from my parents after they drove it for some time. My mother used this car to drive roughly about 100 miles of high way driving 5 days a week for about 4 years. I got the car when I started to drive and have been driving it for about 4 years now. It has never broken down once, neither me, nor my parents have had to spend a penny repairing any major parts. Only wear and tear stuff has happened, which will happen to any car. My mother put well over a 100,000 miles on this car in the 4 years she drove it and the car has not had any problems. It is very reliable, practical for a college student, and I have gotten as much as 33 mpg on long drives. The engine is great, would like to see Honda put a V6 in this car but the current engine runs well and despite it being a four cylinder, it has decent acceleration as well."

"At about 106,000 miles it started leaking fluid and had to repair the rear main seal which took 2 different visits to the dealer and it took them almost 5 days to repair it. At 119,000 miles had to replace the rack and pinon steering and both ball joints. At 126,000 miles had to replace the AC clutch and coil. Driver seat uncomfortable.

Spring Plugfest 2016
By: Ben Craker
A unique event in the ag industry returned to Lincoln, Nebraska; the annual spring "Plugfest" took place the week of May 9th, hosted by the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory. Plugfest is a twice a year meeting between member companies of the Agriculture Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF). The spring event is held every year in Lincoln and the fall Plugfest is hosted at different locations in Europe, planned for Bologna, Italy in September this year. Read the rest of this entry »
AGCO Planting Options Offer Speed and Accuracy
Most farmers view seeding as the most important task they complete each year. With few exceptions, the old axiom, "How you start is how you'll end," holds true in crop production. If seed is not planted at a uniform depth, into moisture and with proper seed furrow closure, it will come up erratically at best. Poor spacing and uneven emergence are two major yield limiters that must be avoided. At the same time, it's important to get the crop in the ground in time to take advantage of the growing season, while there is still moisture for the crop to germinate and emerge. In addition, many growers are expanding their acreage to spread fixed costs and improve profitability, which puts even more pressure on the need for efficiency and accuracy at seeding. Fortunately, both the Sunflower 9800 series single disk drill and the White 9800VE series planter lineup combined with the power and precision of Fendt tractors solve these problems with ease.
Exporting Forage: Barr-Ag Is In Its "Hay Day"
For AGCO customer Barry Schmitt, the disastrous 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan hit close to his Olds, Alberta-based business. "We were shipping hay to one of our customers in Japan when the tsunami hit," says the owner of Barr-Ag, a hay producer and export company.
According to Schmitt, he and his staff had been in communication with the customer like normal, then, suddenly, nothing. As news of the catastrophe and its scope began to break—some 16,000 people were killed and it caused a nuclear reactor meltdown—Schmitt feared the worst. "These are friends of ours who we go and see, and talk to. We were worried."
A Family Farm in the Economic Sweet Spot
Just outside the tiny township of Strykersville, N.Y. sits Fontaine Farms, the highly regarded dairy operation run by brothers Jim and Steve Fontaine. In March, the snowbanks around the barn haven't quite thawed, and for Jim and Steve, the colder it is, the better: the fresh milk cools quickly and helps maintain the quality of the product for which the Fontaines are known.
Last winter, the business was coming off three straight years as a National Dairy Quality Award winner, and until this summer, they were riding a streak of more than 70 months straight of somatic cell counts (SCC) below 100,000. It's an impressive run, for sure, in a region where dairies are numerous and competitive.
Storing Profits on the Farm
Stephen Sork knew from the time he was in fifth grade that working on the farm—being with his father, Ernie, grandfather, Marshall, and uncle, Vernon Gwaltney—was the life for him. "Dad and my uncle always let me help out," says Steve, still a youthful-looking 45. "I loved it."
What goes around comes around. Now Steve and wife, Amy, can foresee the day when their children might want to be a part of their Fairfield, Ill.-based Sork Farms. Their five children are all waiting in the wings.
Generally, producers who want to accommodate additional generations have to grow, monitor expenses and maximize income. Steve, who is now partner in the operation with Ernie, is doing all the above.
For instance, during the past few years the two Sorks grew commodity corn, soybeans and wheat—with an occasional small foray into specialty crops, such as food-grade corn—on about 5,500 acres. That's nearly double what they were farming 10 years ago.
In addition to farming more acreage, income growth has also come by watching markets. To hold their grain until the price is right, the Sorks have 500,000 bushels worth of storage, enough to hold 75% of the corn they harvest in an average year. Half that capacity was added methodically over the past decade.

LAS VEGAS – The later the college football season gets, the more weekday nationally-televised games appear on the schedule -- and the more interest bettors seem to take on these primetime matchups they believe they can get an edge on. Both of the Week 9 Thursday games have seen early line movement, with one home team getting plenty of support and the other moving from a favorite to an underdog since opening numbers were released Sunday at The Wynn.
Bettors are jumping ship on Virginia Tech at home against Miami off a 21-16 loss as a 1-point favorite at Pittsburgh last Thursday. The Hokies opened as 2.5-point favorites against the Hurricanes, who are now favored at -3. Johnny Avello, The Wynn's executive director of race & sports operations, told The Linemakers on Sporting News on Monday that the only reason he made Virginia Tech a small favorite in this ACC matchup is because the team is playing at home.
"Virginia Tech is just not having a good year," Avello said. "You look at their home games this year, they lost to East Carolina, who's a pretty good team, they lost to Georgia Tech, who's a better than average team. That's what I struggled with because their home-field advantage over the years is really strong.
"But this year, the team's just not a very good football team, just average at best. Miami's average too. It was a hard one to set, but I thought Virginia Tech maybe deserved a little bit of home-field advantage."
Avello also noted the Hurricanes are winless on the road this season but have beaten better teams at home than Virginia Tech. He said public perception is what has made Miami a small road favorite.
"I think Miami's probably playing the better football right now," Avello said. "They've won two of their last three, beat Duke, beat Cincinnati. But they're home games. They've lost all their road games this year. That's why I was a little reluctant on where to actually set this. I think it's basically who they played and who they beat. I would say Virginia Tech's not playing up to potential but Miami is."
In one of the biggest mismatches of the week that will also take place on Thursday, East Carolina opened as a 24.5-point home favorite against Connecticut and is already up to -28 as of Monday afternoon at The Wynn. The Pirates are riding a four-game winning streak with their only loss this season coming at South Carolina. The Huskies have dropped four in a row – scoring progressively less in each of game – to go along with an 0-6 mark against the spread this year.
"The problem is their offense is just non-existent," Avello said of UConn. "The last two games they played, they got 10 (vs. Temple) and they got three against Tulane. That's going to drive this line up, although I made my adjustments on it because East Carolina is a team that puts 40 points on the board, especially at home. If you look at their home games, they're putting up close to 50. That's the reason the game kind of jumped up, it's more of an offensive team playing a team that can't score."
Bettors backing Auburn off bye
Auburn has had some extra time to think about what went wrong in a 38-23 road loss to Mississippi State before their bye week as they try to bounce back at home against South Carolina. The Tigers were 2-point road favorites against the now-top ranked Bulldogs and find themselves as 18-point chalk after opening -14 at The Wynn. Avello said he was a bit surprised by the move because three of the last four meetings between the teams have been decided by eight points or less.
"When these two teams meet, they're usually tight games," Avello said. "I think South Carolina overall the season has been disappointing. But they got a week off. I almost give (Steve) Spurrier like two weeks off because the Furman game was a gimme. I'm sure that he worked on some things in that game.
"Let's face it, South Carolina is still a good club. They did beat East Carolina, they did beat Georgia this year. This line's probably coming back down. This is one of those early reaction moves from the early bettors who just know that Auburn is a better team than South Carolina and (are) driving the line up. But I think when the number crunchers get ahold of this game, this thing will come back down."
Other notable Week 9 college football line moves (Saturday unless otherwise noted)
-- Marshall from -25.5 up to -27.5 at home vs. Florida Atlantic
-- Memphis from -21.5 up to -23 at SMU
-- Mississippi State from -12 up to -13.5 at Kentucky
-- Georgia Southern from -14.5 up to -15.5 at Georgia State
-- Kansas State from -11.5 down to -10 at home vs. Texas
-- Missouri from -22.5 down to -20.5 at home vs. Vanderbilt
-- Stanford from -15.5 down to -13.5 at home vs. Oregon State
-- Colorado State from -20.5 down to -18.5 at home vs. Wyoming

The Freedman in Roman Art and Art Historyby Lauren Hackworth Petersen
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 04/30/2006
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
From monumental tombs and domestic decoration, to acts of benefaction and portraits of ancestors, Roman freed slaves, or freedmen, were prodigious patrons of art and architecture. Traditionally, however, the history of Roman art has been told primarily through the monumental remains of the emperors and ancient writers who worked in their circles. In this study, Lauren Petersen critically investigates the notion of 'freedman art' in scholarship, dependent as it is on elite-authored texts that are filled with hyperbole and stereotype of freedmen, such as the memorable fictional character Trimalchio, a boorish ex-slave in Petronius' Satyricon. She emphasizes integrated visual ensembles within defined historical and social contexts and aims to show how material culture can reflect preoccupations that were prevalent throughout Roman society. Interdisciplinary in scope, this book explores the many ways that monuments and artistic commissions by freedmen spoke to a much more complex reality than that presented in literature.

Ventura names Barkley to succeed Wellstone
On the eve of the most hotly contested U.S. Senate vote in decades, Gov. Jesse Ventura threatened to throw the election into still more disarray today with the appointment of state planning commissioner Dean Barkley to complete the term of Paul Wellstone, who died in a plane crash on Oct. 25.
Ventura announced his plans for filling the vacant seat at 10 a.m. -- just as a scheduled debate between Democratic candidate Walter Mondale and Republican hopeful Norm Coleman began.
Barkley would "put the people's interest before the party's interest" in the Senate, Ventura said. He said his announcement had been triggered by the dispute over whether third-party candidates would be allowed in today's broadcast debate.
"Today, three very powerful institutions -- the DFL, the Republican Party and the media -- are conspiring to limit the hard-earned rights of ordinary citizens to rise up and compete for elected office without having to be a Democrat or a Republican," Ventura said.
Ventura earlier had said he would not appoint an interim senator until after the election on Tuesday.

Good try, though, Jesse.
Nothing good comes out of Minnesota. Ventura belongs as an announcer for the WWE.
I blame the stupid voters... they would vote for Hitler if given the chance.
That's a good question.
If it does split the Senate, then the Republicans are in charge via Cheney. The outcome of the election in Missouri may be what makes it or breaks it.
It will be interesting to see what happens. There could be a window here where some judicial appointments will get through, but I dunno. This is without precident.
From what I can tell, he claims to be a "social liberal and a fiscal conservative." That usually means a liberal posing as a conservative. I suspect he's cut from the same cloth Ventura is -- mostly a reactionary nutbag with a mild libertarian bent and a left-winger's appetite for other peoples' money.
He doesn't help the Democrats, but he doesn't help the Republicans either.
If that is true, he'll be meeting with a lot of D@rats who prefer the bathrooms to the cloak rooms to mix and meet(SIC).
Jesse must be really pi$$ed at the whole process. Too funny.
Go - Jesse - go!!!
"Will the senator from West Virginia yield?"
A liberal ex-Democrat. He jumped on Perot's Reform Party bandwagon in an attempt to win a Senate seat. Getting trounced in two Senate elections by the Republican and Democratic candidates made him the senior Reform Party official in the state when Ventura came along. Ventura appointed him to state office, and made him one of his key advisors. Barkley was responsible for recommending a series of liberals for Ventura to appoint.
Ventura feels indebted to him for helping his administration get off the ground.
Now the Senate is nothing more than redundant.
Yes, but the "short-term" will not qualify him for much. Indeed, unless he had other years of federal service (military or civilian) it doesn't give him anything but a footnote in history and an interesting addirion to his resume'.
I interpreted Ventura's appointment as a slap in the face to the Republicans, Democrats, and the media in Minnesota. It was a typical Ventura move it shouldn't have surprised anyone.
I must admit that I was slightly disappointed that he didn't select the infamous garbageman. That would have been the ultimate slap in the face.
Oh, and like the US Senate isn't already a big joke?
This move sucks period. If the GOP gains control, Coleman is one of the seats that on taking the oath would give the GOP ASAP. It also can be done w/ the MO seat. But Jesse just pissed on that, a pox on both you house so I will screw you both.
With all due respect to his service as a Navy Seal, this bald headed moron just ticks me off more and more with every political move he makes, I can't wait for him to leave the stage, what a jerk.
Doesn't this mean that the Senate is now composed of 2 Independents; 49 DemocRATS; and 49 Republicans? Since the Vice President cas't the "tiebreaking" vote...does this now mean that the Republicans control the Senate?
Personally, I look for the RAT Jeffords to make the switch fully to DemocRAT late this week.
I completely agree. Yet, I would rather have him as Governor of Pennsylvania than Ed Rendell who really makes me sick.
Sure it is, it's just not a funny joke. The joke is on us.
The joke is on anyone who thinks anyone in the Incumbent Party cares about their rights or the constitution.
Not at all. As I tried to say, I would have preferred that he appointed the independent "garbageman" that received all the publicity. I think it would have been a proper signal to the politicians/media.
The Ventura Press Conference is worth a listen. He says that the people who organized the Senatorial candidate debate held over the weekend (which Mondale skipped) should have stuck a cardboard cutout of Mondale on the set and asked it questions.

Does anyone know if there are Scaffolding templates etc for MVCScaffolding that create ViewModels per view and adds AutoMapper mapping for them? I want to follow Jimmy Boggards recommendation that every view should have a dedicated ViewModel and it would be good if I could automate that process.
Even if it used all the fields of the entity as the ViewModel that would be a good start. If not has anyone done anything similar I see here it is creating a ViewModel by default. So I wondered if anyone had taken that further?

So apparently there were some crazy nut job conspiracy guys who claimed the end of the world would be yesterday; because of polar flip?
What ever the fuck that means. Well the world didn't end and I bet those guys feel like total dumb asses now.
But yeah they were claiming that a 10th planet, which would have been 3 times larger than Earth would have passed by us and caused a Magnetic Polar Shift which would wipe out the Earths population.
Well that didn't happen. So we can all say we survived another end of the world Hoax.
Also there's a Sky Diver doing a Jump tonight with no parachute on
Hey guys,
So tomorrow I have my driving test. I'm so nervous. Been waking up super early because I'm so worried I'll fail and can't sleep because of it. I know I can do it, I'm good at parallel parking, have to do a three point turn to get out of my driveway so I know how to do that. I follow the speed limit and signs and road rules. But what if I screw up and make a dumb little mistake? Like what if I don't signal when turning out from a curb or going into parallel park? What if I don't look over my shoulder enough? What if I don't look in my mirrors enough?
Okay. Very fangirl type paragraph upcoming. I'm so excited for Living With Ghosts. I love hearing demos, and I love listening to their unreleased song Someone Out There Loves You (Stay), and their covers. That sounds really really cheesy and akward and like "OMG you're trying way too hard to be a fan" but it's true. I really like all their music and that definitely includes all their covers and demos and unreleased things. I am so so so excited for this, I read about this before the whole MCRX and have wanted to listen to it.
Hello! My name is Sam and, well....I'm kind of an MCR fan.
I want to focus this blog around reviewing music, since I have no other place for it. So, what other place to start than the single from the upcoming The Black Parade reissue, "The Five of Us Are Going To Die".
If you have some knowledge on My Chemical Romance, you probably know that this song is the song that developed into Welcome To The Black Parade. From the song's quiet-to-loud dynamic in the beginning, it's easy to see how.
and here's the anxiety/ worry/ negativity post on how nervous i am to go home.
so the main reason i got that script for propranolol was because i was real nervous that i'd get real anxious at home from all the adjusting i'd have to do. and i didn't pack any scalpels because i'm trying to move past that part of my life.
i haven't yet analysed why i'm anxious to go so this may get really rambly.
1) yikes. so i guess the first thing is well.. being away form all my things. all my distractions and all the things that are important / integral / are touchstones for myself.
