Sanchez had guys wide open all day. If he can't put up 300 yards when that is the case, he shouldn't even be in the league. He had some nice throws, but as others have pointed out, made the mistakes that cost us the game.
Sanchez had guys wide open all day. If he can't put up 300 yards when that is the case, he shouldn't even be in the league. He had some nice throws, but as others have pointed out, made the mistakes that cost us the game.
Incidentally, earlier in the game, Sanchez is being taken to the ground and he flips the ball up right into the middle of the field. It easily could have gone for a pick six. It's year four of his "career" right now, and he should not still do something thais mind numbingly idiotic.
Seriously DDNY why not let Jet fans discuss what is or isn't needed.
I don't know which NFL team you like but it's clear to everyone that it's not the Jets.There's not a thing you don't absolutely loathe about them from top to bottom

The only thing Mark Sanchez keeps us in, is turnover-prone mediocrity.
Sanchez played a very good game but he made 2 really bad decisions that he needs to correct going forward. The pass to Hill was awful (I assume it slipped out of his hand) and the fumble on the last play of the game. Take the sack and you still have two plays to gain 16-18 yards.
Seriously, though.... It appears no one is allowed to say anything Positive about Mark Sanchez 'cause if you do, then you're labeled an apologist. Well to those that say that, GFY!!
I know you people(the ones against Mark) want him gone. I GET IT! I'd like to have a Franchise QB myself but it's not happening during Game 7(now going on Game 8) of the 2012 season. Nor will it happen in 2013 either. Unless(or until) Mark is no longer a NY Jet, I will continue to support him and his efforts in helping the team win 'cause(like it or not) he's our Quarterback...
sanchez made mistakes but also did enough to win. he's a 6'2" qb in his 4th year who needs help. who on the jets played such a perfect game that we can honestly say they didn't deserve any blame.
But again, that wasn't a bad throw per se, it was a bad decision. Sanchez has to know then that he missed his window and not to throw it. If he threw it a second or 2 earlier it is an easy TD. Once that's gone, he can't throw the ball.
And that was Reuland wide open, not Keller. Sanchez throws it to Keller when he's triple covered. You better believe he'd throw it when he's open.
Perhaps I should hope for one of our players to get hurt, like you sg3. Would that make me a good fan? Would that prove my love of the Jets?
I have no attachment to any single player or coach. I root for the laundry. And as long as the player is wearing a Jets uniform I will root for him. I want to win. Don't care who is wearing the jersey and pushing the buttons, I think we deserve better from everyone.
Expectations are a good thing. Sorry if I do not want to settle for mediocrity. IMO yesterday, we were at least 10 points better on the road. Yet we found a way to lose. In years 1 and 2 we won those type of games.
But now . . .
SOJ is alive and well.
.. These are not the Patriots who won three Super Bowls from 2001-04 or lost Super Bowls to the Giants in two of the last five seasons. They were all but begging the Jets to beat them. But when the Jets had a chance to step on the Patriots throat after recovering a fumbled kickoff at the Patriots 18 with 2:01 left after they had tied the game on Nick Folks 43-yard field goal, they literally ran scared of Mark Sanchez just when he was tearing apart New Englands pass defense.
Even though the Jets are depleted without Darrelle Revis, their best player, and Santonio Holmes, their only accomplished playmaker, Sunday was their chance to take out the Patriots.
Ultimately it came down to the Jets leaving points on the field and too much time on the clock at the end of regulation

One of Sanchez's best games as a pro. The media of course is whining about how Sanchez is actually good following this game....
1) Pats defense is awful against the pass.
Sanchez gives up massive quantities of YAC via errant completions. There were at least 5 yesterday.
3) Real Sanchez: 4th quarter throw to WIDE OPEN HILL:
10 yards short, woefully underthrown, exceedingly slow read despite him being WIDE WIDE WIDE open.
4) 20 yard out. Sanchez might as well have done a full pitchers wind-up to get the ball out there.
Not buying. Do not want.
LOL@ looking at Jaworski for valuable analysis. He's a complete buffoon.
Sparano should be shot for not running the ball repeatedly on the tying drive. Granted, all of the RB's were beat to crap, that doesn't change the fact that Tebow should've been thrown in and the clock should been wound down more than it was.
They should not have been doing anything but running the ball considering the QB.

The sea and the rivers change in many places, but it is not evident that it happens until after many centuries. In this manner does that change come about: as the waters break the hills, the earth of the hills falls to the bottom of the waters, and fills up the place of the water, and since the waters are forced out of their own position, they must occupy some other place where they can get room. By reason of that the sea washes over and submerges cities, towns and districts in which are the abodes of men in valleys and low
p.146places near the sea. The moisture26 that comes from the clouds is the cause of this, because when it falls, it flows constantly about the earth rooting up the soil, and everything insoluble and non-resistant that it finds in the earth it carries from place to place in the rivers, and the force of the rivers carries off the same things to the sea, and the bottom of the sea is filled with them27. On that account must the sea vacate that spot and seek some other. The hills break the place whither they go, and fill the valleys, therefore the dwelling places and domains of men change, i.e., cities, lands, hills and valleys.
For it is a natural thing for water, since it is fluid, not to be always in one place, but to travel from place to place. Consequently, the rivers carry the weakest soil with them to the sea, and from being a very long time there it becomes firm and hardens and becomes petrified,28 and from the constant beating of the waves beneath it and above it, the stones are carved and polished and assume different shapes. Some of them become round, some broad, some long and some short. Likewise the rivers bring, the sand and light stones to the sea, and they are gathered together by the beating to and fro of the waves outside, and after many hundreds of years it i.e., the new earth, formed as described mounts and rises up over the sea, and hills and mountains are formed from it,29 and the sea sends some of it towards other lands, and that is the material from which cities and lands are formed.
As a proof that it is true, there are to be seen in many places that have been submerged, stone houses, castles, churches and carved stones and planks, and many unquestionable signs from which it is proved that human habitations were some time in those places.
Another fact to prove the same thing; there will be found plainly in the summits of the hills and mountains, the paths and roads of the sea, which resembles the ridges and the small irregular furrows that are seen in the mud of the sea when the tide has ebbed. Also there are found many shells and small sea fish in the same places which have become hard, firm and petrified.30 In the same manner the rain forms the mountains and valleys of the world, because, when the rain flows into a place where it finds the soil weak, it turns it up and forms a furrow in it, and the edge of the furrow, on either side falls, both sand and soil, into the channel by the strength of the water and the water brings that with it to the rivers, and the rivers carry it to the sea, and from the excess of rain over a very long period ever falling into those furrows and constantly carrying away the soil and sand, those furrows become valleys of the sea, and at last the earth is left in hills and large mountains between them; and thus did the blessed Creator of the world order that.

Florida Man Goads Kids Into Fight, Joins in When His Son Starts Losing
It's all fun and games until someone pokes your kid's eye out.
51-year-old Carl Nicks of Brevard County faces charges of child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after the shirtless dad joined a Satellite Beach crowd encouraging two teens to fight, then jumped into the fight when one of the teens—Nicks' son—lost his advantage:
A cellphone video of the fight, first aired by Orlando's WKMG and picked up by the New Times, shows Nicks in a blue ballcap and little else, egging the teen boys on with the rest of the crowd. But once the fight starts, Nicks' son gets taken to the ground and beaten about the face.
That's when Nicks appears to pull his son's antagonist up by his t-shirt, then tosses him to the ground, grabs him by the throat, and punches him in rapid succession.
His intervention quickly transformed the mood. Members of the crowd could be heard on the video yelling "It's not your fight" before one of them—possibly Nicks' wife, according to WKMG—pulled the old man away, all while the family's golden retriever hopped excitedly into the fray.

Sox wait out rain to beat Rays in twin bill opener
BOSTON -- Alfredo Aceves has restored himself into a spot starter the Red Sox can count on.
For the third time in a span of 22 days, Aceves was summoned from Triple-A Pawtucket for a start that turned into a win.Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- Alfredo Aceves has restored himself into a spot starter the Red Sox can count on.
For the third time in a span of 22 days, Aceves was summoned from Triple-A Pawtucket for a start that turned into a win.Full Game Coverage
The right-hander fired five strong innings while leading the Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Rays in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader.
"He's got the ability, I don't want to say to pitch on the fly, but coming in and knowing it's a one-shot deal, he's done a very good job," said manager John Farrell.
Aceves could have gone longer, except for a rain delay of two hours and 59 minutes that occurred with the Red Sox batting in the bottom of the fifth.
"Once again, Alfredo comes in and does his thing -- five solid innings of work," said Farrell. "He would have been in line to go back out for the sixth had he not been interrupted by the rain. Most importantly, other than the three walks in that second inning, he was around the plate often, got some early walks and was efficient."
In a 75-pitch performance, Aceves gave up three hits and a run, walking three and striking out two. Over those three starts, Aceves has gone 17 innings and allowed just three runs.
"The one thing that he's shown in the three starts mentioned is a good focus in between the lines," Farrell said. "He and [catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia] have gotten on a pretty good wavelength. There hasn't been a whole lot of shaking off on Ace's part. He's trusted the work that Salty has put in."
The biggest challenge Aceves faced was getting to the ballpark in time to pitch. Farrell wouldn't say exactly how much in advance Aceves arrived before the 1:05 p.m. ET start time, but lefty Franklin Morales was sitting in the bullpen for a bit prior to the game in case he needed to start.
"Morales didn't throw. He was down in the bullpen," said Farrell. "Ace was delayed in traffic. He's not a guy that reports to the clubhouse early to begin with, and he was a little delayed. But he had ample time to get loose inside and go out and throw his 25 pitches of warmup."
The bullpen was nearly flawless following the rain delay. Junichi Tazawa worked a 1-2-3 sixth, striking out two. Andrew Miller gave up a hit, but struck out two in the seventh. Koji Uehara and Craig Breslow were both unscored on in the eighth and ninth, respectively.
Jacoby Ellsbury was the catalyst at the plate, going 3-for-5 and finishing a home run shy of the cycle.
Ellsbury belted a two-out triple in the sixth and Shane Victorino followed by ripping a triple of his own, making it a 5-1 game. It marked the first time Boston players produced back-to-back triples since Coco Crisp and Ellsbury did on Sept. 5, 2008, in a game played at Texas.
It was Ellsbury who got Boston started in the early stages of the game, lofting a double off the scoreboard in left to open the bottom of the first. With one out, Dustin Pedroia lifted a sacrifice fly to deep center, making it a 1-0 game.
Aceves got himself into a bind in the top of the second when he walked Evan Longoria and James Loney. With one out, Luke Scott drilled an RBI double to right to tie the game.
The top of the order sparked the Red Sox in the third. Ellsbury again got things going with a leadoff single to center. Victorino followed with a single to right. David Ortiz ripped a two-run single up the middle and the Sox were up, 3-1.
"Ortiz's big two-run single kind of works against their shift a little bit, but finds a way to get the two-run RBI," Farrell said. "It was a solid performance all around by the guys at the plate."
Ortiz made it a three-run game in the fifth when he poked a single to right to score Victorino, who had reached on an error.

"We're extremely proud of our water waste rural programs," Lawrence McCullough, rural development state director, said. "We have some good people who work extremely hard to have a positive impact on the community. All too often, clean water is taken for granted. You turn on the tap and it's just there. These people work hard to make that happen."
McCullough presented plant officials with a certificate of appreciation plaque signed by him as well as U.S. Senators Mark Pryor and John Boozman and Congressman Steve Womack.
The plaque acknowledged the plant's efforts "for improvements to the existing Hector Water Treatment Plant to provide an adequate water supply for existing and future customers within their service area."
The treatment plant is expected to be in working order in October.
"It will be ready after the Health Department inspection within two to three weeks," John Choate, Tri-County general manager, said.
The law requires water systems serving more than 5,000 customers to fluoridate their public water system using non-taxpayer dollars. When the Tri-County system — which consists of Logan, Yell and Pope counties — becomes fully implemented, it will increase the number of Arkansans receiving fluoridated water from 61 percent to 87 percent.
Kelly Caldwell, communications manager of Delta Dental of Arkansas foundation, presented Tri-County with a big check for $73,834 to help cover start-up costs to fluoridate the district's water system.
"Water fluoridation makes such a difference in communities across Arkansas and the country," Caldwell said. "Not only will it make teeth more resistant to decay, but it will stop or even reverse the decay process. Delta Dental of Arkansas is proud to be a part of this exciting initiative to improve the oral health of Tri-County Regional Water District's residents."

" Genre: Sci-Fi / Fantasy / Author: Cassandra Clare / Paperback / 496 Pages / Book is published 2010-09-06 by Walker "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Having read the other books (Mortal Instruments, currently at Book 4) by Cassandra Clare, I found this prequel to be a fantastic edition. The first book of the Infernal Devices series is about Tessa Grey, who has followed her older brother, Nathaniel, to London from America after the death of her aunt. However, the minute she arrives, she discovers that London is not the one she has read about in books. The unseen world of the Faeries, Vampires and Werewolves plague a mysterious organisation known as "The Institute", who themselves are more than they seem to be. It consists of Charlotte, the steely leader, who fights demons in a world where women rarely speak out, let alone fight; Henry, the bumbling inventor and husband of Charlotte; Jem and Will the Shadowhunters shadowed in secrecy and the other Shadowhunters who keep London safe from the Downworlders.
I loved the frequently exciting plot, with it's sneaky references to the Mortal Instrument books and fast-paced storyline.
Readers of all the fantasy books out right now (Twilight saga, The Iron Fey, The Inheritance Series, etc.) will thoroughly enjoy this book and will, as I am, hanker after the sequel (6/12/11 so not long now!) and future books by this brilliant author.
After losing the only person who has helped guide her and raise her since her parents early demise, 16 year old Tessa has travelled halfway across the world to finally join her older brother Nate in London England.
After arriving in the dock, she soon finds herself facing more difficulties than she could ever imagine, especially since she has found herself kidnapped and being held captive for reasons beyond her own knowledge, with her co-operation keeping her brother alive.
When it finally emerges she is not quite the ordinary little girl she originally thought, but actually some-one with the power to transform her entire being into someone else, her life becomes decidedly complicated.
Her life soon becomes entangled with all sorts of mystical creatures and beings, all of whom she originally thought of as "storybook", but soon finds that their actual title's are "downworlders", will she be swallowed whole into a world of warlocks and vampire's, or will her newest best friends the shadow hunters be her saving grace?
I have to say this was not at all what I was expecting in a read, I soon became very aware of the plethora of different characters within the book, and I have since promised myself I really should take more care when reading a book synopsis, and not fixating on one word, in this case "vampires"!
That said I did find I enjoyed this book immensely, though found that due to the characters, especially the "shadow hunters" being entirely new creations to me, it took a while for there characters and origins to be explained, though after this point I found myself warming much more to them.
The entire book is set in London during the reign of Queen Victoria, and the scene's are really well set, with you feeling the grime and oppressive quality of the air outside, and the costume of many of the characters making this the sort of book I will always enjoy.
As this is the first in a series of "the infernal devices" books, this was always going to be the slowest and most detailed book to read, there is a great many characters that have to be introduced, with many of them warranting whole chapters to themselves for future, present and past descriptions.
This was a really interesting and detailed read, that did keep me guessing right until the end, and then twisted the assumed ending around onto it's head, with this books only downfall being the introduction of certain characters, meaning a slightly slower read.
Price wise this is available via www.waterstones.co.uk for the RRP £7.99
Thanks for reading x
After a client had recommended Clockwork Angel to me I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I had trouble finding it as she didn't tell me it was a young adults book!
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare is the first book in her The Infernal Devices series and is 496 pages long in the paperback copy.
After the death of sixteen year old Tessa Greys Aunt, she finds herself alone in New York with the only family she has left over in England. Before long a letter from her brother Nathaniel arrives from England inviting her over to stay with him.
Things do not go to plan on her journey to Victorian England, as soon as she arrives she is greeted not by her brother but by two elder looking ladies who say they have been sent to collect her for Nathaniel, but instead they take Tessa back to their living quarters and keep her imprisoned there. It soon becomes clear these are not two normal old ladies, but ladies who are really Warlocks. The sisters try to get Tessa to use her power to change which Tessa knew nothing about.
Tessa is saved from the power of the sisters by Will who is a shadow hunter who protect mundane from all the demons and vampires and other magical forms in the world. Trouble is how long can they protect Tessa when she seems to have a power someone wants very badly.
This is one of few books where I found that each character who is part of the main storyline, has been detailed enough that we actually feel as if it is a group we are familiar with. This helps you to embrace the story more, especially when it come to Tessa and the shadow hunters who are the good side in the book because you know how warm and kind their characters are you genuinely care about what happens to them. There were many characters in the book but each one we recognise from a quality about them which we are shown in the earlier part of the book so I did not find that any time during the book I was getting muddled trying to think which character was which, this I usually find is what happens when I read books that have had to many characters added to it.
This is the first book I have read by Cassandra Clare. I found it quite hard to get into at first which I was a little surprised at with it being a young adults book. I am glad I persevered with the book though as by the time it got to 3-4 chapters in the story started to flow alot better and I found myself slipping into the storyline and quite enjoying it.
Once I had got past the 3-4 chapter I didn't find there were any low parts of the book it seemed to keep an even pace through out although I was a bit put of with the ending of the book but I didn't realise until I looked it up that it was part of a new series so I can now understand how the story was just left as it was.
I didnt find the storyline to be predictive in anyway which I think was a big positive about the book as each time you came to the end of a chapter you couldnt help not putting the book down and reading the next chapter due to the suspense factor you just had to know what was going to happen next!
I have not read a book similar to this so it was refreshing to try something a little different I think the closest I could say the book comes to with previous books I have read is a younger version of the Dresden Files.
I would recommend this book but I would make sure I let them know that it is part of a series as I felt very disappointed and confused by the ending before I knew that it was to be continued............
Publisher: Walker Books
After the death of her Aunt, 16 year old Tessa sails across the ocean to Victorian England to find the only other family she has left, her brother Nathaniel. However, as soon as she steps off the boat, she is taken under false pretenses and is imprisoned by the Dark Sisters. Unknown to Tessa, London is full of warlocks, vampires and other supernatural people.
While keeping her imprisoned, the Dark Sisters teach Tessa that she has a rare ability, one which enables her to change into another person. Tessa is horrified but has no choice but to do what they tell her to.
Just when Tessa can take no more, the Shadowhunters come to her rescue. But, can she trust them or will they use her just like the Dark Sisters? All Tessa wants to do is find her brother.
This is the first book I've read by Cassandra Clare. I'm aware of her Mortal Instruments series, but have not yet read those books (though I plan to remedy that!). The Infernal Devices series is a companion to the Mortal Instruments series and Clockwork Angel is actually prequel to it.
Clockwork Angel features a weave of twists and turns and kept me (I would say turning the pages, but I was reading it on my Kindle!) reading on. I found myself fully immersed in the storyline and felt like I could have been there with Tessa and the other characters. I loved the Victorian setting, it gave even more of a dark feel to the story.
Tessa starts off a little naive, but her confidence grows as the book goes on and in a way we see her grow up over a short period of time.
Will tries to be the bad boy. He's volatile and has mood swings, but he's a hero and charismatic too. He's a difficult character to work out (the character himself doesn't want to give too much away, but his friends help us fill in some of the details), but I suspect we'll learn more about him in the next book.
Jem is the sweet one, so kind, friendly and helpful. He's weak, but is still a battler and shows strength and courage too.
Jessamine comes across as spoilt. She's a shadowhunter like Will and Jem, yet she despises being one. It's difficult to tell whether she's more of a danger to herself or to others!
Charlotte is only 22, but runs the Shadowhunters' Institute with the knowledge and capability of somebody much older and wiser, despite her bumbling husband, Henry.
As expected with YA paranormal/urban fantasy books these days, there is also the undercurrent of love. In fact, there's a bit of a love triangle going on!
While Clockwork Angels doesn't end of a cliff-hanger as such, it will leave you with questions and a desire to read the next book as soon as possible. Unfortunately for me, the next book in the series, Clockwork Prince, isn't out until September 2011, so I've got a bit of a wait!
So would I recommend this book? Definitely, I think it's one of the best, if not THE best, YA paranormal/urban fantasy books I've read in 2010.
Please note: This review is also posted on my blog.
Clockwork Angel is the first book in The Infernal Devices series and a prequel to The Moral Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. It was released on 6th September 2010 by Walker Books UK and it is 496 pages long. Thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy for review!
Sixteen year old Tessa Grey embarked on a journey to Victorian England to join her brother Nathaniel but instead, she finds herself surrounded by trouble in a world that she doesn't understand. Tessa never thought that things like vampires, demons and Shadowhunters could ever really exist but she finds that she is more like them than she thought possible and there are people who want her for what she can do, even if she doesn't know much about it herself.
Alone and in danger, Tessa has no other option than to take the help of the Shadowhunters and rely on them to help her find her brother but she has a hard time coming to terms with what is happening around her and what she really is. Tessa cannot help but be fascinated by both Will and Jem, best friends with completely different personalities. The people that hunt her might not be the most dangerous thing after all.
What I thought
After reading the first two books in The Mortal Instruments series and hearing about this one, I was desperate to read Clockwork Angel. Although I have read two of The Mortal Instruments books, I knew that it wasn't necessary in order to read this one. I thought it was a very clever idea to have two series that can both work as stand alones but also merge really well with each other.
From the very first page, Clockwork Angel is exciting and mysterious and drew me in instantly. After being thrown straight into the Shadowhunter world, I was wondering how things were going to be different this time around. Clare's descriptions of Victorian England are so vivid that I could imagine myself walking the same streets and Will and Jem. This world has a very eerie feeling about it and it is surrounded by mystery. I felt as though anything could have been coming around the next corner which kept the story exciting and intriguing throughout.
I am a huge fan of historical fiction/ romances so to have this mixed in with Shadowhunters, vampires and demons was like Heaven for me. I really don't think that I could have asked for more with this book and even though the raunchy parts were obviously missing compared to historical romances, I didn't mind at all. It really would have been out of place in Clockwork Angel anyway. I wish I knew of more YA books that are historical because I know I would love anything slightly similar to this.
The plot was exciting throughout and I was avidly awaiting what would happen next every time I turned the page. Clare used a fantastic mix of action and mystery throughout and although there wasn't really a whole lot on the romance side, I can see this being expanded on in future books in the series. What made this book so good for me was the mix of characters and how each personality really came into their own as the story went on. Even though there are quite a lot of characters at times, it was never hard to follow who was doing what or what they meant to each other.
Tessa was a marvellous protagonist and there was so much that I loved about her. When she arrives in England, she thinks she is going to reunited with her brother but all is not what it seems. She soon finds that her brother has been kidnapped and now so has she. I have no idea what I would have done in her position apart from maybe sit in a corner and cry my eyes out. I know I wouldn't have been strong enough to deal with the Dark Sisters and to do the things they made her do. When Tessa finally gets rescued and taken to the Institute, she has no idea what is going on because she always thought she was human and none of these other beings existed. I really liked the fact that she was very vulnerable and naive when she arrived at the Institute because it gives her character a lot of room for growth. As Clockwork Angel went on, Tessa did start to become more sure of herself and what was happening around her and she also began to show that she was a lot stronger than everyone gave her credit for. I'm excited to see where Clare takes Tessa and what kind of character she will become.
Will has so many similarities to Jace (of The Mortal Instruments) that at times, it was hard to see past that. He's mysterious, cocky and extremely full of himself but then that was what I loved about Jace so of course, I loved Will too. There is just something about these bad boy characters that I cannot help but fall in love with, even if they are being complete asses at times. As a Shadowhunter, Will is strong and confident and he isn't afraid to make that known. I loved how sure of himself he was or rather, how he made out he was sure of himself. Will seems to have quite a few buried secrets and I can't wait to find out what is really going on with him in future books.
I really wish that Jem had been featured more because he was so interesting. From very early on, we get to find out that there is something wrong with Jem but nothing about what it is. I loved the mystery that surrounded him, where he came from and what he was all about. Jem really seems to care and isn't full of himself at all. He's very grounded and down to earth, even though he kills demons etc for a living. Jem seemed to be a lot older than he actually is and maybe that comes from his past that we only get a snippet of in this book. Jem really stood out to me because he was so different to Will. The difference in personality between Jem and Will worked perfectly and gave the chance for them to bounce off of each other.
Usually in a book where there is some kind of love triangle going on, I am firmly on one side. Not this time though! I was extremely torn between both Will and Jem and I still have no idea who I prefer. If I was forced to choose, I would have to say Will at the minute just because he features a lot more than Jem and we get to hear a lot more from him. In the back of my mind, I want to like Jem more but I can't really see that scenario happening.
I enjoyed seeing Magnus Bane making a couple of appearances and after the cliff-hanger Clare left us with, I know he is going to play a bigger part in the books to follow. He was always one of my favourite characters in The Mortal Instruments because he is so interesting and there is a lot that we don't know about him. I really, really hope that he is around a lot more from now on and we get to find out about his past.

I have a file with about 200-300 images and I want to perform some functions on them all but I don't want to have to go to the trouble of having to type out
CvLoadImage("img1.jpg"); run program than edit it to CvLoadImage("img2.jpg"); run program ect.
There are no order to the names of the files there called random things.
Basically I want my program to access the folder they will be in, select each image one at a time, and run it once for the lot of them.
What function or libry should I look at to help with this?
Is there one that can count the amount of files in a folder and select there names and pop it into a variable so I can do something along the lines like thisCode:Loop till end of folder{ a=name of file.jpg; CvLoadImage(a); }

Nissan Versa Real World MPG
That's great mileage for your car! Ours with a CVT, and doing quite a bit of short distance errant running, after 15 fuel-ups and almost 10K miles now at 29.2 mpg. I don't think there will be any more break-in/improvement. I wonder if the CVT eats away a few mpg's.
Other than that, it's a fine car. Well made, roomy, quiet, boring.
Not as much fun as my TDI that gets now 43 mpg and is on its way up as it breaks in further.
I've driven my 4-spd 2009 auto for almost 2 years now and have gotten about 27.5 mpg since the second tank-full. It now has 14k miles on it and I drive 90% city, usually 6 miles or less each way. I've seen 35-ish on long trips.
Our 2010 Altima gets less than than even with its CVT, but a CVT robs MPG plenty if driven stop and go as this one usually is. Keeping the RPMs low is where the mileage is, but ours is usually in the 2-3k range, usually just cause thats where the fun is :blush:
Versa S hatchback 4sp Auto with 3600 miles on it.
Mileage test:
1. 34 mpg
2. 37 mpg
3. 37 mpg
4. 35 mpg
I live in a hilly rural county with the highest legal speed limit of 55 mph which I pretty much stick to.
I'm retired and don't need to commute nor be anywhere on schedule so I can, and do, take my time getting around. If my only choices were between "city" and "highway" driving I would have to say neither. Much of my driving is just cruising through the countryside looking for good bird spots - both my wife and I are avid bird watchers.
Just for comparison my wife's Buick Park Avenue doing exactly the same kind of driving would give us about 24 mpg. Although the Versa is relatively quiet and smooth for it's class it's nothing near the tomb-like silence and arm chair comfort of the Buick. My wife says that driving around in the Buick is like sitting in the living room and watching the countryside roll by through the picture window.
I understand these numbers may not be relevant to most of you but they reflect the actual mileage we get driving the way we do and that's the bottom line.
So far, we are satisfied with the Versa given it's limits.
That seems to be pretty strong mileage; well done. My wife has a 10 Versa hatch with the 4AT, and the best we've managed is 30mpg, but is mostly used as a city car. Great to see others get more out of it.

30mpg -
That's the trouble with the mpg postings on this thread - are we comparing two different cars or two different driving styles? If I drove the same way your wife has to drive I may do no better in my Versa.
Just got back yesterday from a round trip of 325 miles to Minneapolis and back - 33mpg. Put car into CC at 65mph (the speed limit) and just let her cruise into the city. Interestingly once I got into the the city I had to drive faster than out on the rural highways. Did a lot of driving taking beltline freeways around the city and everyone was driving 80-85 mph and I had to keep up with the flow of the traffic or be run over.
Your wife's 30mpg as a city car driving stop and go and urban freeways may be very reasonable.
I pretty much read all the post in this thread going back to 2007. I noticed that as time went on the mpg postings got better and better. I wonder if the early Versas may, in fact, have had some problem? I'm no gear head but I do know that programming of the motor control unit does not have to be far off to adversely effect mpg. Perhaps Nissan realized this and quietly went about reprogramming the later Versas for better mileage?
Just speculation on my part.
Take care,
I just purchased a Brand new 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback. I love the car but have been sorely disappointed in the gas mileage. I am only on my third tank and i have heard that mileage does improve but I am skeptical. The 1st dealer tank got me 25 mpg and the second which i did got me 24.5mpg. Simple math 300 miles, 12.4 gallons to fill up. I dont know what everyone else is doing but everyone else seems to report better numbers. Even the Dealer said he had not heard of anyone getting less than 30, of course he would be somewhat biased. I very much like the car so I am hopeful that the mileage will improve. Also i have not taken a road trip yet either so if that goes well it will take away some of the sting, after all i went from 5 minivans in a row (which i loved for trips with the kids) to a subcompact completely for fuel economy reasons. My 6 cylinder vans were getting 18-22 so at 24 or 25 MPG i am not gaining much. Good Luck All
Signed: Optimistic.
There is going to be a range of reported mileage numbers, ranging from very low for brand new purchases with CVT tranny, lead foot short distance city driving to very high ones for broken in, standard tranny, subtle driving, long distances, CC set at 65, and a gentle breeze blowing from behind.
Dealers are full of [non-permissible content removed]... they will tell you anything to make you feel good about your purchase beforehand or question yourself if something seems wrong afterwards.
I am used to my 45 mpg Jetta, so the 28 mpg we are getting from the Versa are not overwhelming. On the other hand, I would hesitate to call this a "Subcompact". It is very roomy, tall, with loads and loads of space for the back passengers. Not like a van obviously, but not like a true subcompact either.
I'd take any MPG trends with a grain of salt for the first couple thousand miles; engines take some time to break in. My last Honda was so/so for the first 15000 miles, then it made a marked jump upwards. Same for a Subaru I had prior.
Even though I've thought our Versa MPG could be a little better, with only 5k miles, I don't think we've driven it enough to know anything definitive yet.
15.5 XC70 T6 / 16 Soul EV / 17 Toyota 86
I've had my 2008 4-speed auto for almost 4 years now; 17k on it now, and despite a slight bump somewhere during the first 8k, I'm still getting a mediocre 26 @ 90% city. I too take it easy most times and notice that when I do get frisky a number of times during a tankful, my mileage suffers about 10% overall. I have to say, it's more than 2x better than the 77 cobra
I'm not too upset about the mileage as the other attributes of the vehicle more than make up for it for me: reliability, space, comfort. My father and brother can sit with great comfort in the back despite both being 6'2".
Take most dealer mileage stickers at 80% of their face and you'll be right around reality.
You make several good points fflintstone. Especially regarding dealers!! lol. I should have bought a Jetta seems like my first mistake. I guess I used the term subcompact a little loosely since it does have a ton of space compared to the others that i looked at. I do drive mostly city and the only breeze in Texas is when a Miskito flys by. I am a little encouraged. I filled up again today and my mileage was a slight bit better at 27. Add a little bit for sitting idle while on the phone during work...a little for the 106 degree temp we've been at and i can maybe count on 28 or 29 with maybe low 30's for highway. Those numbers are becoming much more acceptable and i'm looking forward to lots more versa driving fun. Getting me some sweet aftermarket wheels next week so i'll look fly doing it. later's

hbfever Posts: 13So I have an '07 Versa SL hatchback, standard, just under 33,000 miles. I purchased it, new, in March of 2007. Like many posters here, I to was underwhelmed by the fuel economy especially since I had the Versa with the "original" fuel estimates of 30/34 not the revised 28/34.
My fuel economy has risen steadily over the years. 90% of my driving is intracity driving: no freeways, all surface streets, stop & go, rarely above 45mph. I have used the 1-2-5 shifting regimen (something I found on this forum) for 3.5 of the four years I have owned the car.
From the data I have been able to chart and observe I am getting, on average, about 315 miles per tank. Each time I fill up I put in approximately 11.3-11.8 gallons. This translates into 26.7 - 27.9 mpg. Considering the type of driving I am doing that is about as advertised. Unfortunately, the MPG doesn't climb all that dramatically when I do venture on to the highways.
This brings me to now. This last tank of fuel. I am at 210 miles with a quarter tank remaining. This is about 50-70 miles behind my averages (2-2.5 gallons off). I have been able to watch the fuel needle move like I was 16 and gassing a 289K. My question (besides WTF) is: Is this a bad fuel sensor (I haven't spotted any leaks or smelled gas)? I am waiting to fill up again and see if the volume is off, but I am more than a bit ticked off that after only 33,000 that there might be a fuel sensor issue. If anything, with my driving habits and below average annual usage, I have taxed the sensor less. Anyone else experience this?
formula353 Posts: 3I picked up a 2012 SL sedan with the 1.6 engine and CVT. My first tank reported 37.6 mpg. Hand calculated it came out to 36.6. My second tank came in about 1 mpg lower. I commute into Boston and the temps dropped so I think that may be a factor. I driving is 50% city and 50% highway though half of my highway is stop and go traffic on route 93. I drive easy most of the time with occasional trips at 75 mph on the highway.
That's a good number to hear. I don't expect that our 4th Versa, 2012 that we pick up tomorrow (6-speed), will hit that number but we've consistently been getting 32-33. That WAS in the 35-36 mpg range until ethanol blends hit the pumps and stole 10% of the mileage, but that's another topic for another discussion over on the Automotive News board

pixel1 Posts: 14This past week we traded in our '07 Versa SL w/CVT on a 2012 Sentra with CVT (like that transmission!). Had 84,386 miles on the Versa so figured it was a good time to trade while value was still relatively high. The car was a delight and never gave us any problems, and I kept track of every fill-up....overall MPG was a very decent 31.4, and this was just about 50/50 city/highway in southern Oregon, which is definitely far from flat country! The best mileage was 40.2 on a run down I5 to Calif. with a favorable wind, and the worst was 24.6 with in-town driving during winter.
monti2000 Posts: 13Wha tis wrong? Well according to the Nissan dealership(s) and the "NIssan Technical Tean", - there is nothing wrong. Read the following carefully, and your conclusion should be not to buy this car or any other Nissan vehicle. The dealerships do not instill confidence, nor do the customer service divisions nor the Technical Experts in engineering. Shoddy product is being produced in Mexico, and then shipped to cold climates. The Versa which is produced in Mexico should stay in Mexico as it cannot perform in cold weather. The following have been my problems since the car was new, and the Nissan Tech Experts are lame. They have no solutions to these problems. They nactually tell me that these problems are normal for the Versa with CVT.
1. It is normal that the CVT transmission makes a whining noise on coming to a stop.
2. It is normal to hear the clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk noise after leaving the curb. This is the ABS self calibration that sets in every time after you start the car. This problem kind of makes you forget about how you feel in the car, and that the upholstery is pretty good. At this point you are worrying that you are losing the engine, - who cares about comfortable upholstery.
3. The mileage I have gotten is 1/2 of what is in the brochure for a 2010 with CVT. The answer I get here is that it depends on how I have been driving the car. Let's face it, its only got a 1.8 l ENGINE so what could you possibly do with this tin can?
4. Most current problem is that the car won't start at -15 degrees C. It was fine in the first year, but itlooks like the battery is going now at 11, 800 km.
If I could do it all again I wouls never buy a Nissan product. :lemon:
It appears that Nissan is making lemons, and they do not want to take their lemons :lemon: back nor repair them.
I will never buy a Nisan again!!!!! :lemon: :lemon: :lemon:
jason108 Posts: 1I just bought a 2011 Versa Hatchback a couple months back with the reg tranny, and I to have been averaging around 23 MPG. I have been driving it like a baby as well. Its only got about 800 miles on it, and I know about the whole "break in" thing but 23? Thats horrible for a 1.8L. Has your MPG improved?
So much depends on driving conditions you face and driving styles. Right now we have 3 Versas in the family. All are 6 speed manuals and we average about 31-32 MPG in mixed drving, about 33 on long highway trips. That number was up around 35-36 prior to the introduction of the ethanol boondoggle at the pumps.
But back to my point... a friend bought a 6 speed Versa after having seen how much we like them. He lives in the same area as me, so we're driving basically the same roads, although he doesn't do as much long distance drving as we do. He's only getting 28-29 mpg. Driving style and habits HAVE to be the difference.
I agree that 23 seems REALLY low, but it's hard to make a call on whether there's a mechanical issue with the car based on that alone. Winter driving conditions, things like living in a hilly area, all sorts of things can eat away at the number

cloud9ine Posts: 6This one actually calculates average MPG. I am getting 39.2-39.5 MPG in the greater St. Louis area, and about 36 on the freeway at 70-75 speeds. Now, I haven't hit any big traffic jams in the 2 weeks I've had the car, but I have been driving carefully. I am in the fifth gear when the car is above 30 MPG, and I coast a lot.
My daily driving is about 30 miles freeway at 60-65, 6 miles on a 45-50 mph parkway, and 5-6 miles on 40 mph streets.
With 39.5, a tank gives me 400 miles. I always knew the EPA estimate of 27 city was wrong, and they have no business estimating city driving MPG on manual transmission cars.
dangeloj76 Posts: 1i'm trying to change my spark splugs in my 2007 versa, i need a 14mm extra long socket or a 14 mm deepwell socket. does any one have information on here i can get the tools, having a hard time . could someone please help me. and are these the corrct tool needed.
These are very preliminary results based on the first tank of gas in my new Versa (5 speed) and partial consumption of the second tank. Initially, the computer reported an average 35.7 mpg with mixed local and highway driving. This figure went to 39.2 mpg with an 84 mile highway trip to the casino. I reset the mpg meter to measure the return trip and the computer came up with 46.5 mpg for the all highway trip. I do not know how accurate that is, but that is a remarkable figure.
Not sure I'd judge the mileage on a first tank with any vehicle. I currently have a 2011 and 2012 Versa, both with 6 speed manuals and (with ethanol in the mix) they both get about 31-32 MPG in mixed driving. Same fo the 2007 that I sold to my daughter. If I manage to find a gas station without ethanol in the mix, the mileage will jump to about 35 on highway trips, but that's about the highest I've ever seen. I think if you do the calculation yourself by filling up, running most of the tank, filling up again and seeing how many gallons you used over those miles, you're going to see a number more int he low to mid thirties range.

Yes indeed pf_flyer, you make some good points about the first tank of gas. It is really too early to tell. But when I pulled into the gas station with 240 miles on the odometer, I could only put 6 gallons of gas in the tank. So maybe the computer is not that far off. Time will tell. Some additional info, the shore highway is flat and straight as a line, the AC was off. And I drove about 55 to 60 mph max as the car is still new.
Completed the second tank of gas today after combined local and highway driving. The computer reports an average of 43.7 mpg. There were 293 miles on the trip odometer and the car took 6.7 gallons of gas (using 89 octane, middle grade gas). So the computer figure looks to be fairly reliable. I am reminded of my 1986 Nissan Pulsar which also routinely yielded 40 mpg. That car had a 1600 cc engine with a five speed, but with a compression ratio of 8.5 to 1 it only produced 69 horsepower. The low weight of 1860 lbs. allowed reasonable performance. The Pulsar was fun to drive, I miss the flip up headlights. The Versa has so many technological improvements.
Nissan Versa 5 speed Sedan S with about 800 miles now and 3rd fill up. Computer reports 42.1 mpg, 253 miles and 6.5 gallons of 89 octane gas.
I'm on my last month of a 5-year lease. 2008 4-spd auto. started out getting about 26 mpg on 87 octane; many mileage readings taken and overall a 28 MPG average, 95% city use under a light foot. Not the best by any means, but better than our larger cars have provided. Car is being bought-out and going to a good home as I refuse to give the dealer the $5000 extra equity vs. current market value as it has only 22,000 mi on it
Obtained 89 octane gas yesterday in Monroe, Ct. The computer reported 43.5 mpg for mixed driving. Drove home and then round trip to the casino today, a combined total of 211 highway miles. Yet the gas bar graph indicated that I still had well over half a tank of gas, so I checked the computer mpg which now reads 47.7 mpg for these highway miles. I am very pleased by these results, significantly better than I expected.
paul0417 Posts: 1I bought a 2012 versa last month for a commuter. I wanted the best mileage in a affordable car. I've been feeling good because the computer has been telling me I'm averaging 35 mpg. After filling up a few times and figuring the actual mileage, I'm only getting 30. I'm trying to figure out the discrepancy and if it's a programmed one. Anybody else having this issue? :confuse:
smalltown Posts: 75I've had my Versa Note for a month now. Took a trip to Chicago, about 500 miles, mostly on two-lane highways, plus 80 miles in the suburbs. I reset the computer before the trip. According to the computer, the average is 39 mpg. In town previous to this trip, the mileage was on the low end, about 27-28. This is expected since most of my trips are under 3 miles, with 6 or 7 stop signs or traffic lights.
About 240,000 combined miles on the 3 Versas in our family and all three are still getting about 31 MPG in our combined driving (fair amount of highway) 32-33 on long highway stretches.
Prior to ethanol, we would get 35 on the highway, but that's another story for another discussion

Fister efficient, Pena homers in final spring game
By Adam Berry / MLB.com
ST. PETERSBURG -- Rays lefty Matt Moore and Tigers right-hander Doug Fister didn't put up dazzling Spring Training numbers, but Saturday, both could say that they went into the regular season on a relatively high note, as Detroit tied Tampa Bay, 3-3, in both teams' final spring game.
Making their last spring appearances, Moore logged four scoreless innings and Fister gave up two solo shots in six frames.
It looked like Moore's rocky, inefficient spring might have ended on a similar note after a 25-pitch first, but he quickly turned it around and needed only 29 pitches to get through his final three innings of work. Moore, who entered the game with a 4.67 ERA this spring, exited after four innings having allowed one hit and one walk while striking out five on 54 pitches, 37 of them for strikes.
Fister, meanwhile, started the day with a 6.52 ERA in spring games, prompting a reporter to ask Tigers manager Jim Leyland before the game if Saturday was an important start for Fister. Leyland fired back that it wasn't nearly as important as Fister's next start, Detroit's home opener against the Yankees, but Fister pitched well either way, allowing seven hits and no walks on 96 pitches, 63 for strikes.
"It's another step in the right direction for me," Fister said. "I felt like today was much better timing-wise and just that feel. Working on a few pitches here and there, just trying to get fine-tuned ready for six days from now."
When Moore left, the Rays began a parade of one-inning appearances for several of their top relievers. Jamey Wright gave up a two-run homer to Brayan Pena with no outs in the fifth inning, breaking the scoreless tie. Wright allowed four homers over 11 innings in spring games despite allowing only two over 67 2/3 innings in 2012.
Tampa Bay got one back in the bottom of the fifth, when James Loney clubbed a line-drive solo homer, his first of the spring, to right field off Fister. They got the second back in the sixth, as Ryan Roberts hit a solo shot of his own, also off the Tigers' starter.
In the top of the seventh, the Tigers scored their third run on a triple from Pena and an RBI bunt single from Don Kelly. In the bottom of that inning, the Rays tied it up again on a Sean Rodriguez homer off Tigers' reliever Will Clinard.
Up next: Detroit will head north to begin the regular season. The Tigers will hold a voluntary workout on Sunday's off-day, then kick off their regular season Monday with an Opening Day matchup against the Twins at Target Field at 4:10 p.m. ET. Justin Verlander, fresh off receiving his five-year contract extension, will take the ball for Detroit and face Minnesota right-hander Vance Worley.

Starbucks has always appealed to an upscale clientele -- after all, a $3 cup of coffee isn't exactly a bargain. But lately the company seems to be trying to attract the super-wealthy with its newest luxury offerings.
First, the company announced last week that 48 of its locations, mostly in Seattle and Portland, Ore., will offer a rare blend of java called "Costa Rica Finca Palmilera," for $7 a cup. The coffee requires a special, $11,000-brewing machine, which is why it's not yet available in all locations.
Should you become addicted to a daily dose of the expensive elixir, you could always support your habit by asking Santa for a Starbucks gift card. But for luxury-lovers, the typical plastic gift card just won't do -- instead, be sure to request the $450 card made of etched stainless steel. The card costs $50 to make and has $400 worth of purchasing value.
True luxury is not available to the masses and this card, available through Gilt.com, has a limited run of 5,000 through the holiday season. With it, you can enjoy about 57 of the most expensive cups of coffee and perhaps impress the baristas every time you swipe the stainless.

Just when it looked like the bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab would be sold off piecemeal, a multinational consortium gobbled up many of its assets.
NEVS, an international firm comprised of investors from China and Japan, last week agreed to buy the main assets of Saab Automobile, Saab Automobile Powertrain and Saab Automobile Tools, including the company's factory in Trollhattan.
Not included in the deal were Saab Automotive Parts and former owner General Motors' intellectual property rights for the latest Saab 9-5.
GM's refusal to allow the transfer of its key technology was a factor in Saab's failure to find a buyer before it declared bankruptcy in December.
The new consortium apparently wasn't interested in conventional gasoline engine technology and wants to make electric vehicles. There was no word officially on what NEVS paid for Saab's assets or how much it plans to invest in reviving the iconic 64-year-old brand.
Auto & Trends said NEVS paid $210 million to $250 million for Saab, about a third of what GM paid for the 50 percent of automaker it bought in 1989. GM bought the remaining shares for $125 million in 2000 and sold the company to the Netherlands' Spyker in 2010.
"The new company will produce electric drive using advanced EV technology from Japan," said Kai Johan Jiang, chief executive officer of National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB.
Saab only sold about 15,000 cars before it filed for bankruptcy last year, eight months after money problems halted production.
Just-auto reports the first electric Saab, based on the current Saab 9-3, could hit the road at the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014 using Japanese EV technology. An all-new electric model may be rolled out in China and then offered in other markets.
"China is investing heavily in developing the EV market, which is a key driver for the ongoing technology shift to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, said Jiang, founder of National Energy Holdings Ltd. of Hong Kong, the biggest shareholder in NEVS with a 51 percent stake. Sun Investment LLC, a Japanese investment firm, owns the other 49 percent.
"The Chinese can increasingly afford cars; however, the global oil supply would not suffice if they all buy petroleum-fueled vehicles," he said.
Saab plans to make its new electric vehicles in Trollhattan and is hiring managers and engineers, but was not forthcoming on numbers.
NEVS Chairman Karl-Erling Trogen told reporters at a news conference the "world-class" plant and expertise the company was acquiring was decisive in the plan to build cars in Sweden, The Local.se said.
"We will match Swedish automobile design and manufacturing experience with Japanese EV technology and strong presence in China. Electric vehicles powered by clean electricity are the future, and the electric car of the future will be produced in Trollhattan," he said in a statement.
The Swedish industrial union IF Metall, which represents many Saab employees, was happy about the focus on electric cars.
"We have too few electric cars on the road in Sweden and are far behind many countries. With this new focus, new export opportunities will likely open up," the union said in a statement.
Battery breakthrough
The newly revived Saab's goal to make electric cars may benefit from good timing.
A123 Systems, a struggling startup battery manufacturer in Waltham, Mass., last week announced it had developed a new lithium-ion phosphate battery it says can operate at temperature extremes that normally sap battery power.
The company's stock jumped 52 percent on the news.
"We believe Nanphosphate EXT is a game-changing breakthrough that overcomes one of the key limitations of lead-acid, standard lithium-ion and other advanced batteries," A123 Systems Chief Executive Officer David Vieau told The Detroit News.
The company already sells batteries for several electric cars including GM's new Spark and recently was given a two-year extension to spend the remaining $120 million of a $249.1 million federal grant awarded in 2009.
A123 laid off workers last year but plans to hire 400 employees in Michigan where it has manufacturing plants in Livonia and Romulus, and a research facility in Ann Arbor, the News said.
U.S. auto dealers still bullish
Despite economic worries about Europe and fears of a double-dip recession, U.S. auto dealers are riding the rising tide of good sales.
The National Automobile Dealers Association said in its annual report 92 percent of dealers surveyed in March expect 2012 profits to be as good or better than last year. An average U.S. new-car dealership posted sales around $35 million last year, up 12.3 percent from 2010, and employed 63 workers, the report said.
Although the number of dealerships declined by more than 3,400 during the recession, to about 17,600 currently, new car and truck dealerships had 933,500 workers in 2011, up 4.6 percent.
"The arrival of new brands and new dealerships is a sign that even more vigorous competition is on the way in the U.S. vehicle marketplace," Paul Taylor, NADA's chief economist, told the Los Angeles Times. "As new brands enter the U.S. market, the net dealership count may increase in future years of strong economic growth."
Made in Canada
With the U.S. and Canadian dollars at near parity, consumer advocates in Canada want automakers to explain why some cars cost more north of the U.S. border.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. looked at manufactures' suggested retail prices of 24 vehicles built in Ontario by Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda and Toyota and found 18 were more expensive to buy in Canada than the United States. That may have made sense when the Canadian dollar was worth less than the U.S. dollar but that's no longer the case and hasn't been for years.
"How do you justify a car made in Canada being sold for 20 to 25 percent more in Canada than in the U.S.?" Sen. Pierrette Ringuette said she wanted to ask representatives of the Detroit Big Three automakers she invited to a Senate Finance Committee hearing. The U.S. automakers declined to appear.
Ringuette also wants Canada's Competition Bureau to investigate why U.S. auto dealers can't sell new cars to Canadians without fear of losing their license.
For example, the MSRP of a 2012 Dodge Charger built in Brampton, Ontario, is $29,995, $5,000 more than in the United States. A new Chevrolet Equinox crossover SUV built in Oshawa, Ontario, had a suggested retail price of $26,445 in Canada compared with $23,539 south of the border.
Ringuette said Transport Canada officials calculate Canadian-specific safety features -- like tougher bumpers -- add $200 at most to a new vehicles' cost, not enough to account for a price disparity of thousands of dollars on some models.
"Manufacturer's suggested retail prices in Canada and the U.S. are 'suggested' retail prices. What a customer actually pays for a vehicle is negotiated with the dealer," a Ford Canada spokeswoman told the CBC.
The MSRP of a Canadian-built Toyota Corolla or Toyota Matrix is lower in Canada than in the United States, the CBC survey found, but higher for a made-in-Canada Rav4 or Lexus RX350 SUV.

Playing field joy for Norwich schoolchildren
Schoolchildren will finally get the green space they have longed for after councillors rubber-stamped a move to turn a derelict patch of land into a playing field.
Pupils at Henderson Green Primary School in Earlham have had to put up with the amount of grass playing space they have not meeting the government requirements for a school of that size.
The school, in Irstead Road, has been without suitable facilities since 2007, when it was turned from a first school into a primary school. The small playing field at the back of the school was not large enough for older children, who had to use other schools' facilities for events such as sports days.
Residents organised a petition and collected nearly 800 signatures, lobbying the council to fund the playing field and suitable facilities.
In March, Norfolk County Council reached an agreement with NELM (North Earlham, Larkman and Marlpit Trust), the owners of a neighbouring patch of land, to provide play area facilities at Henderson Green Primary School.
And at a meeting of the county council's planning committee today. councillors granted permission for the change of use of the land.
Norwich City Council had objected, questioning issues around car parking, but county council officers said they were satisfied with the number of parking places which formed part of the planning application.
The land is due to be known as Henderson Green Primary School Jubilee Playing Field, in honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
School headteacher, Janet Clay, had previously said the playing fields would make "a huge difference" to pupils, improving sporting opportunities and providing an outdoor learning space.

Halos bury demons at Fenway
Too many superlatives to describe Angels sweet sweep
By /
Not bad for three games. But what a piece of work this American League Division Series sweep of the Boston Red Sox was. What a reversal of form and fortune.
The history of these two teams at this level was dumped into the dustbin. The three consecutive ALDS victories by Boston, the 9-1 record against the Angels in those three events, all the painful stuff the Red Sox had inflicted on the Angels became historical oddities.
The Angels won two games at home primarily on the strength of superb pitching. On Sunday, for Game 3 in Fenway Park, they diversified. They came back off the deck, four runs down, to win 7-6 on a thrilling three-run ninth-inning rally. And they fashioned this rally against Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon, who had never before been scored upon in the postseason.
At the defining moment, the Red Sox had intentionally walked center fielder Torii Hunter to load the bases to get to designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero. Not that long ago, this would have been an unimaginable act, because Guerrero was one of the most dangerous hitters in the game. But his stock has slipped with a decline in power and run production this year.
Maybe his stock will now climb, because Guerrero delivered a two-run single that became the game-winner. And after the game, he did something that was, in its own way, even better than that. He dedicated the game-winning hit to the late Nick Adenhart, the young Angels pitcher who was killed in an auto accident in April. Guerrero was asked if this was the biggest hit of his career, and he said it was, not because of the circumstances, but because it would honor Adenhart.
Even the greatest moments of competitive achievement can use a sincere touch of human emotion, and Guerrero provided that, too.
The Angels did precisely what they had to do here, after falling behind by four runs. One run in the sixth, two in the eighth, made the comeback plausible. The sixth inning should have been bigger, because they had loaded the bases with nobody out. But they did not evaporate after this disappointment.
|Maicer Izturis
|Popout to catcher (one out)
|Gary Matthews Jr.
|Flyout to center (two out)
|Erick Aybar
|1B on 0-2 fastball
|Chone Figgins
|Bobby Abreu
|2B to left, Aybar scores
|Torii Hunter
|Intentional walk loads bases
|Vlad Guerrero
|1B to center , Figgins, Abreu score
|Kendry Morales
|Flyout left (three out)
A crucial point in the ninth, in a rally that was achieved with two outs, was a double by right fielder Bobby Abreu, two hitters in front of Guerrero. The double scored a run and put the tying and winning runs in scoring position.
On a 1-2 pitch, Papelbon threw a 96-mph fastball over the outer half of the plate, but significantly up, out of the strike zone. Abreu, a master of patience and selectivity at the plate, has spent a career taking this pitch. But here, he swung. After the baseball left his bat, the next thing it hit was the Green Monster in left. This was exactly what Abreu had in mind in the first place.
"Well, in that situation, it looked like I was supposed to take that pitch," Abreu said with a smile. "But you want to be aggressive, especially with Papelbon. He's one of those guys, he comes right at you. He's not afraid to throw the fastball. So I knew that any fastball middle away would be something good to hit, hit the ball the other way, especially on the big wall. So I took my chances on that and it was successful."
Nice adjustment. This whole week, from one coast to another, the Pacific to the Atlantic, was about the Angels trying to do something they hadn't been able to do before. It was like climbing Mt. Boston, which seemed at least as large as Mt. Everest. In three previous tries, they couldn't get to the summit. In fact, they barely got beyond the base camp.
But they are on top of the mountain now. Their achievement is real. This looks like, this feels like more than a garden variety first-round postseason victory. This is because of the postseason history between these two teams, and the fact that in the past five years, Boston has been the premier postseason team in baseball, specializing in improbable comebacks.
So getting up two games on the Red Sox didn't mean that eventual victory was anything like automatic, especially with the series moving to Boston. The degree of difficulty beating the Red Sox in the postseason has risen dramatically.
And for the Angels, who had not met their own expectations in the three previous ALDS against Boston, it was not just a matter of beating the Red Sox. It was a matter of playing the kind of baseball they were capable of playing, the kind that has made them an elite team, an elite franchise, division winners in five of the past six seasons.
"We talked earlier in the series. I felt really good that we were playing good baseball," manager Mike Scioscia said. "We felt if we played good baseball that everyone could see the talent on this team, because we haven't shown it in the playoffs.
"Last year, we played better. But outside of '02 and '05, we've had a rough go. Part of it is Boston; they're a deep club. We didn't match up well with them a couple of years. They took it to us.
"Personally, I feel good for our guys, because this series was important for them, not only to beat Boston, but beat a club of their caliber. I think the way we did it in the sweep certainly in Game 3 on the road with two outs in the ninth, has to give us a lot of momentum."
The Angels buried some demons here. This sweep was a splendid achievement, and all those successful two-out at-bats against Boston's best reliever were good enough to be at least mildly amazing. Now the Angels move on to the AL Championship Series. There shouldn't be too many people talking about how they used to have a tough time with Boston.

Dickey's knuckler baffling opposition
Mets right-hander earned wins in his first six decisions
Just as no two knuckleballs act the same way, no two knuckleballers throw it the same way and the results aren't always the same. Evidence for that comes from R.A. Dickey, resurrected from baseball's scrap heap by that strange pitch that darts here, there and everywhere.
Dickey, called up from Triple-A Buffalo in May to help rescue a Mets pitching staff that was in a shambles, responded with victories in his first six decisions, something no pitcher in the team's history had ever done before. Not Seaver. Not Gooden. Nobody.
Then he was smacked around by Florida in his next start, proving knuckleball results are as unpredictable as the pitch.
Knuckleball pitchers are a small fraternity who leave Major League hitters, accustomed to facing 90-mph fastballs, flailing away at much slower deliveries. Phil Niekro, a 300-game winner, and Hoyt Wilhelm became Hall of Famers. Wilbur Wood would sometimes start both games of a doubleheader. Charlie Hough threw Major League knucklers for 25 years, and Tim Wakefield is still doing it for the Red Sox at age 43.
Dickey, however, throws his knuckler faster than others.
"I have my own personality with the pitch, my own identity with it," he said. "It's OK for my knuckleball to be faster than the conventional one."
Like most pitchers, Dickey fooled around with the knuckler early in his career, never taking it very seriously.
"I always toyed with it, and I had a pretty good one," he said. "I never needed it, though."
In 2005, however, he needed it.
After injuring his arm while pitching for Texas, he could not regain his velocity. Sent to the Rangers' Oklahoma City farm club, he connected with Hough, who encouraged him to embrace the knuckleball and worked with him on refining it.
Dickey committed himself to the pitch but did not find immediate success with it.
"It's hard," he said. "You have to unlearn what you've learned and re-learn a way to be consistent with it. When you've done something for the better part of 20 years and you have to change, it takes a little bit of time and a lot of energy and patience."
Only when Dickey decided to go his own way with the pitch did he begin to have more consistent success with it. He will throw it most of the time, but not all of the time. He will throw it faster than others do, but no matter how hard he throws -- perhaps as much as 75 mph -- he is still able to maintain the movement the pitch traditionally brings.
"A lot depends on if I have a real good feeling with it," he said. "I stay with it probably 85 percent of the time. Against the Orioles, I threw 108 pitches and only five of them were fastballs.
"Lineups don't matter to me. The count doesn't matter to me. People are going to get the knuckleball, regardless. They know what they're getting. I know what I'm throwing."
As long as there's no rotation, no spin, air currents will make the pitch unpredictable and sometimes unhittable.
There was, for example, Dickey's almost perfect game with Triple-A Buffalo in April. A month or so before Detroit's Armando Galarraga took a perfect game to the 27th batter, Dickey had a reverse perfecto, allowing a leadoff single on his third pitch and then retiring the next 27 batters.
Shortly after that, Dickey and his knuckler arrived in New York, accompanied by the oversized mitt he carries with him and lends to catchers assigned to work his starts behind the plate. Now, the glove is worn out and the Mets are breaking in a new one for catchers Rod Barajas and Henry Blanco.
Dickey has sympathy for his catchers.
"Catching the knuckler is not easy at all, especially on a night when you have a real good one," Dickey said. "It's a difficult task because you don't know which way it's going."
Neither does the hitter which is, of course, the whole idea.

Discussion in 'Pro Match Results and Discussion' started by kishnabe, Jan 18, 2013.
Who does among current top women players? Yet you single her out....
I singled her out because I think she started these negative trends.
I understand that, but come on - she's won every Grand Slam going, Venus hasn't done that.
She was hitting some fine shots in this match. What you think of her, she's a much better player than you're giving her credit for.
sharapova is a fighter she could have quit like kournikova but she keeps playing so i respect her for that.
Given the state of the WTA there is a good chance Maria will surpass both Venus and Justine Henin in achievements when ones comes to think about it. Other than Serena and possibly Azarenka who is more likely to win the big tournaments over the next 4 years, other than some of the useless up and coming corp emerging.
She has always pawned Venus on non grass surfaces (although she never played peak Venus of 1999-2003). She will continue being Serenas slave for life though, that is something that will never change.
It might be time for Venus to consider hanging up her hat and calling it a day on her singles career - she looked so weary out there and way past her prime. No movement, no serve, only flashes of power.
I just can't see her wanting to continue to be embarrassed in singles like that, especially against someone who she used to be competitive with. She should just stick to playing doubles with Serena for the rest of the end of her career because her illness is clearly preventing her from being a factor in singles anymore.
I think it is a combination of illness and age. Players dont generally hit their peak at 33.
Pawned? How much for?
Separate names with a comma.

Wall Street gains after Supreme Court ruling on broadcasters
Shares of CBS jumped 6.2 percent to $62.48 after the US Supreme Court ruled that online TV startup Aereo Inc violates copyright law by using tiny antennas to provide subscribers with broadcast network content via the Internet. Comcast Corp shares rose 1.1 percent to $53.21. The Walt Disney Co, which owns ABC News, gained 1.5 percent to $83.90 and buoyed the Dow.
The S&P 500's gains followed two days of losses, putting the index on track for a decline of 0.2 percent for the week.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 49.38 points or 0.29 percent, to 16,867.51. The S&P 500 gained 9.55 points or 0.49 percent, to 1,959.53. The Nasdaq Composite added 29.40 points or 0.68 percent, to 4,379.76.
Monsanto Co also boosted the S&P 500. The stock climbed 5.1 percent to $126.73 after the world's largest seed company raised the low end of its full-year outlook and said it plans to offer debt to help finance a $10 billion stock buyback.
More merger news also helped the healthcare sector. Medical Action Industries surged 93.5 percent to $13.68 on its heaviest one-day volume ever after Owens & Minor Inc agreed to buy the supplier of disposable medical products for about $208 million. Owens rose 1.5 percent to $35.38.
On the downside, shares of refiners declined after US officials allowed energy companies to export light crude oil, or condensate, after it has been minimally processed.
The major indexes slipped at the open after the economic data, but investors quickly moved on. The US economy contracted in the first quarter at an annual rate of 2.9 percent, the sharpest drop in five years, though activity was affected by a harsh winter, and there are indications that growth has since rebounded. In another negative data point, US orders for durable goods unexpectedly fell 1 percent in May.
European shares in turn fell today, with utility GDF Suez a standout loser, as traders cited fears that violence in Iraq will escalate further as a cue for investors to cash in on last month's equity rally.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index ended down by 1.1 percent at 1,372.04 points, marking its lowest level in around three weeks.
France's CAC underperformed with a 1.3 percent decline, hit by a 2.3-percent drop in utility GDF Suez after the French state sold a 3.1 percent stake at 20.18 euros per share, the bottom of a range set by bookrunners.
Traders said the conflict in Iraq was providing investors with a reason to cash in on last month's rally, which saw Germany's DAX hit a record of 10,050.98 points while the FTSEurofirst rose to a 6-1/2 year high of 1,399.62 points.
Although the price of oil edged down, traders said events in Iraq remained worrying enough to justify trimming equity positions in case the situation deteriorated.
Militants attacked one of Iraq's largest air bases and seized control of several small oilfields today as US military experts arrived to set up an operations centre to help Iraqi security forces counter a mounting Sunni insurgency.
Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei share average fell to a one-week low as investors took profits from recent rallies, while the government's widely-anticipated growth strategy met a muted market reaction.
Taking its cue from Wall Street's losses overnight, the Nikkei dropped 0.7 percent to 15,266.61, the lowest closing level since June 18. The broader Topix fell 0.6 percent to 1,260.83 while the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 declined 0.6 percent to 11,472.04.

I just rediscovered this video, very nice. I think some of her appeal is the fact she is so genuine, and that fact that she's not perfect: she doesn't have big boobs or a perfect ass, and the back of her thighs are getting a slightly jiggly - but instead of that being bad, it just makes her more real. That and the fact she can take such a big dildo inside her small frame with such ease, right on the first thrust - amazing. I love the way she is genuinely into it, thrusting her hips almost involuntarily, as if she has no control over her body; her pussy is on a mission and it won't be denied! If you like her here is another of her videos you should enjoy: http://www.youporn.com/watch/364120/horny-milf-masturbating-watching-porn/

Hi all,
I mounted my large castor wheel onto the MACH 2001 this weekend and it worked very well. I had to make a very sturdy bracket for it after I found out the hard way that a flimsy bracket gives the effect of a car with worn shock absorbers! :)
There is more to robotics than meets the eye. I wrote a program for the MACH 2001 in PASCAL to go forward and relying on the IR Proximity sensors to avoid obstacles , but the battery voltage went low causing the IR sensitivity to decrease. The robot rammed into a cupboard and almost damaged the electronics!
Whats more to building robots is presenting it on a web page. I discovered new things in HTML for frames and although it seems simple now , it was a mission to learn. :) My son helped me there!
Well here's to a new week that lies ahead.
Happy roboting!

There is increasing concern, on the evidence of current energy policies in both developed and developing economies, that greenhouse gas emissions will not be reduced sufficiently fast to avoid the effects of climate change. Climate projections show in some regions the increased likelihood of intense heat waves accompanied by droughts, or violent storms, flooding, etc. Such effects could undermine the output of thermal power plants, and nuclear power plants (NPPs) in particular, which require large quantities of water for cooling. Safety or environmental considerations due to extreme weather conditions may also lead to throttling or shut down of power plants, at an economic cost to the owners.
Events which today appear to be rare may become more frequent in the future. Given the expected lifetime of nuclear power plants – 60 years for new designs, it is clear that considerations of changes in the climate must be addressed at design, planning and licensing stages, and this will have an impact on the cost of nuclear electricity. Even for operating units, there may be the need to retrofit the plants to make them more resilient in the face of extreme weather events.
The Nuclear Energy Agency of OECD is launching a two-year study (2013-14) on the assessment of the vulnerability of nuclear power plants, and the cost of adapting to changes in the climate. The primary objectives of the study, to be carried out by a group of experts with secretarial support, under the oversight of the Nuclear Development Committee (NDC), are to assess the impact of climate changes on the contribution of nuclear power to the security of energy supply, taking into account the impact on the demand side as well, quantify the cost of inaction and the cost of adaptation.

Museum gets donation of scrapbook kept by Denton High student
The Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum has a new view into the life of a 1920s teenage girl.
Thanks to a scrapbook created by Alma Neatha Gerlach and donated by her daughter Peggy Jean O'Neal, visitors to the museum can get a feel for some of the events that went on at the time.
Gerlach grew up in Denton and was a student at Denton High School in the early 1920s. Her weathered green book, labeled "Stunt Book," includes descriptions of days spent with friends and events, autographs from classmates, hair clips, and even gum wrappers with details about friends written on them.
"It's just an interesting kind of scrapbooking and what a young woman and her friends did on a daily basis," said Peggy Riddle, Denton County Museums director.
"The main reason I wanted to donate it was there were so many names from the Denton [Record] Chronicle in that book — I thought someone over there would enjoy just looking at it just to see what they were doing," O'Neal said.
O'Neal, an only child, wanted her mother's scrapbook to be preserved because she didn't think her children would be interested in it. She said her children were still young when Gerlach died, so they didn't get to know their grandmother.
The book was brought to the museum by Joel Alexander.
Riddle said county museum officials are in the process of tweaking other existing exhibits to make them more appealing, such as some of the displays at the Bayless-Selby House Museum.
"What we're going to be doing is make the house focus more on life in Denton County during the period of the house in the late 1890s to early 1900s and trying to make the rooms more visitor-friendly," Riddle said.
She said her staff might move some of the more fragile and breakable objects and display some items that museum visitors can touch.
She mentioned a recent visit from a Grand Prairie church group of elementary school-age children. The kids were able to pass around items like a butter mold and cast iron and hear a Victrola play an old record.
"By touching something, especially for a young child, they will remember that tour so much better than if they are being spoken to the whole time," Riddle said.
She said these tweaks will happen regularly as part of the museum upkeep.
"It's good every three to five years to sort of revamp things to keep it fresh and introduce new technologies and things like that," she said.
