Midsize Sedans Comparison Thread
would be interested to know how edmunds came up with these numbers - a definite indicator of accident avoidance capability. Would be willing to bet that the lower finishing cars were handicapped by VSC? The enthusiast mags will generally try to do their best to turn it off for testing, the consumer mags will leave it on. Can't imagine, for example, that the Sonata would've finished so low except for its std. VSC/TRAC and the 'softer' Camry, as is Toyota's practrice, gets a system that can't be disabled.0
from what I understand, Hyundai is cutting back 'sales' to the rental lots - which is a good thing.0
kdhspyder Posts: 7,160...and last year is that the plant in AL is now up and running instead of being in 'start up' mode.
Hyundai correctly noted it's own failings in the past and it's relatively low retail volume but it still had to fill a plant to a minimum operating level. If they knew for example that they needed 10000 units a month going over the line but they could only count on 5000 to 12000 units depending on seasonal demand they needed to offload the non-retail units somewhere.
.. ultra low pricing similar to fleet pricing to get real retail buyers in these new much better vehicles;
.. fleet sales to fill the gaps.
This costs money ( in profits foregone ) so it's factored into the startup costs of the new plant. I'd guess that the plant and the product line broke even in the first year. But Hyundai is not in it for the charity toward US buyers. It's a huge for-profit operation.
So now the first year is up, the plant apparently operates very well and puts out a good product so it's up to the Commercial Department and the dealers to get bodies into the showrooms and out the doors. Make profits like the others are making.0
chrisford Posts: 55SEL V6 Ford Fusion 64.2
wonder how the AWD Fusion will do in this test. Didn't it beat the Accord in Fusionchallenge.
Legacy GT Wagon 63.9 (4-cyl, 250 hp)
someone mentioned why didn't Ford include the Subi in the compo, cause it has AWD. Well Fusion beats it according to edmunds. As always. Honda comes out near the top, what's new? Either Honda is that good or these Mags have some heavy vested interest in Honda.0
The other thing to consider is that the Alabama plant has a fixed capacity. At first, all it produced was the Sonata. Now it builds the Sonata and the new Santa Fe. Maybe what is happening is that Hyundai has made a decision to improve profit-per-vehicle even if that means cutting volume on the Sonata and other cars. The average selling price of a Santa Fe is higher than that of a Sonata--more profit in the Santa Fe maybe? Also note how Hyundai has cut way back on rebates across its lineup since last year. No more $3000 in rebates on the Sonata, and rebates on the Santa Fe, Elantra, Accent, etc. are also down from recent levels.
I remember many posts in various discussions, including this one, noting how Hyundai should cut sales to fleets and raise its prices. Now that they're doing that, they get criticized for doing it.
Anyone notice that Honda is propping up Accord sales with large manufacturer-to-dealer rebates and subsidized lease deals? Since the Accord is such a great mid-sized car, why do they need to do that?0
thegraduate Posts: 9,731Yes, ABS can help avoid an accident. I'll probably want it in my next car, years from now (may not have a choice, LOL) but I don't think it's as important in avoiding accidents as traction and stability control.
I wouldn't pay ten cents for traction control in an accident avoidance maneuver. Stability control is different, though...
You probably don't have to deal with snow/ice very often in Birmingham
Sadly, we are on out longest streak without measurable snow (0.1 inches or greater) in recorded history (since the late 1880s). We haven't seen snow around here since January 2000.
Send us some please! Snow missed us to the north yesterday, and forecasts are putting snow in Montgomery (south) Saturday. I'm frustrated!0
w9cw Posts: 888germancarfan1 and meateater are well-know Hyundai haters on this board.
Yes, Hyundai still sells the Tiburon, in fact, the 2007 is a new generation, albeit a redesign, not entirely new.
Hyundai's appeal is not only low pricing, but quality at a low price, exactly analogous to the initial Honda and Toyota marketing and pricing strategy in the USA.
I'm a Honda, SAAB, and Hyundai owner, and the new 2006 Hyundai I bought for my wife for Christmas 2005 has had absolutely no warranty claims, or any problems whatsoever since purchase. In fact, it's the first new car I've ever purchased that was, and still is, totally glitch free in every respect. The same can't be said for our Honda. It had 3 warranty claims within the first 9 months, including replacement of the ECU.0
jimmy81 Posts: 170Hyundai's "quality" is nowhere near that of Honda's. Better than before, but Hyundai's still dealing with many issues that aren't reflected in these JD Power type inital quality survey gimmicks.
4-5 years down the line is what I'm most concerned with. My brother's Elantra is what he bought it as - cheap transportation - but the comparison to Honda, as he points out, is a major stretch. Its 3 years old and doing OK, but has numerous fit and finish and noise issues.
But he bought the car because it was cheap but decent. I agree that's the sector Hyundai fills.0
Hyundai's appeal is low pricing. Obviously that's not enough appeal. They should change the name of the car. Hyundai is a quirky name....quirky cars too.
I thought I was the only one proposing a name change for Hyundai. It would make sense to me since 'what's in a name?' is huge for marketing purposes. And Hyundai is an odd name.0
germancarfan1 Posts: 221So someone who merely pastes Hyundai sales figures for Jan 07 (which happen to be down) is considered a "Hyundai hater?" Had I posted Honda sales figures (which are coincidently up), would I be a "honda lover?"0
When you think about it, names like Toyota (is it a toy or a real car?), Honda (wasn't that a movie?), Nissan (rhymes with a rather crude phrase), Suzuki ('nuff said), Kia (is it a car company or is this a martial arts thing?), Mitsubishi (we need more syllables!!), Audi (not an innie), Scion (what the heck is THAT, and can you pronounce it correctly?), and many others are "odd" also. From a myopic perspective anyway.0
"Had I posted Honda sales figures (which are coincidently up)"
Where do you see Honda sales being up? We went over this, it's called DSR, there was an extra day of selling.
I see -1.7%, tell me if you see something different.0
"So someone who merely pastes Hyundai sales figures for Jan 07 (which happen to be down) is considered a "Hyundai hater?""
Beacuse time after time, you have isolated your negativities on Hyundai and posted one-sided comments. You could have also posted sales figures from other manuf., such as GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc to show the comparison, instead of isolating one automaker. If my memory serves correct, January was a bad month for most automakers in the US.
Also, you have always included Kia with Hyundai to show their inferiority. There are reasons why you didn't include Kia in your original post, just like the same reasons you didn't post Hyundai's went they were up or had something that should be praised and contributed in the industry.0
Karen_S Posts: 5,092We all have our preferences and that's not a crime, so let's keep the comments about the cars and not the people.0
I guess, but there isn't another word or name in the English language that begins with a 'Hyun' combination of syllables. I think it hinders acceptance of their products.0
mz6greyghost Posts: 1,230I think it hinders acceptance of their products.
I think that's ludicrous.
I bet that when people first saw the words Honda, Toyota, Datsun, Mitsubishi, etc., they may have thought it strange at first, but it was their products that made them accepted, and their names aren't so strange anymore, aren't they?
Hyundai (and Kia) can be named whatever they want. It's their products that'll either help or hurt their acceptance.0
pat Posts: 10,421The names are what they are and there's really nothing to be gained by arguing about whether they are or are not what they should be.
Let's get back to the actual features and attributes of the vehicles - whatever they are named - and move on.0
baggs32 Posts: 3,229What do you think about this line of discussion grad? Want to go back to discussing engines now? :P0
lilengineerboy Posts: 4,116Lets go back to the driving dynamics of fwd cars with front weight bias...
In performance driving with a FWD car, typically its a matter of aiming the front wheels where you want the car to go and pushing the gas. A limited slip (a real one, like a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V or an Integra Type-R) allows the driver to get on the power sooner, helping corner exit speeds. Traction control just cuts power to the wheels which will lower corner exit speeds.
Corner entry on a front wheel drive car typically involves hard braking for weight transfer, occasionally trail braking to help rotation. It is reasonably easy to achieve oversteer in a FWD car, either by trail braking or jumping off the gas in mid-corner.
I think most of the Stability Controls will do everything they can to eliminate oversteer while reducing power at the same time. I think plowing (understeering) off the road (slowly) is how they see safety.
I am very curious to see how these systems adapt in snow and ice, in addition to a performance driving environment.0
swhitehorn Posts: 14I've read enough propaganda from Car & Friver to last me a lifetime. They always pick the Honda Accord as tops amongst midsize sedans and seldom get it right. There are better midsizers out there. Witness Consumer Reports unbiased selection of the Nissan Altima as the new king of the road in midsize sedans. Quite simply, Nissan has the most efficient non hybrid 4 cylinder powertrain in the industry. Only Toyota has a more efficient 6 cyinder. However, Nissan wins the best ride/handing compromise for both the 4 cylinder & 6 cylinder power plants. This new benchmark Altima also has better steering & brake feel than the others. The one thing that stood out in the Car & Drver test was exterior styling. They rated the Accord & Altima as even. Not in your wildest Honda dreams! The current Accord has one of the most boring designs in all of automobiledom. Additionally, C & D stated the Altima had epa estimates of 23/29, when it is acutally 26/34. Evidently, C & D was using the '02-06 Altima epa estimates. One other item they misquoted was the cargo space. The '07 Altima does NOt have 17.9 cu ft, but 15.3 cu ft. The bottom line is that Car & Driver failed to get even the car manufacturer sepcifications right, much less the more subjective criterion, i.e. exterior styling.
neteng101 Posts: 176I guess Consumer Reports forgot to update their website?...
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/best-in-class/family-friendly-vehicles/f- amilyfriendlyvehicles.htm
Lists Accord as best in class for the family sedan category.0
I agree the new Altima is a sweet car. But let's do this comparison again when the NEW Accord arrives in 7 months. You're comparing a new model to a 5-6 year old design.0
stevehecht Posts: 96I just wrote to Edmunds and asked them about the VSC when they do the slalom testing. My guess is that they leave it on for all cars that have it. The Mazda6 doesn't have it, not sure if there are any others.0
I am very curious to see how these systems adapt in snow and ice, in addition to a performance driving environment.
your suspicions on what the stability control system actually does (eliminate oversteer conditions) by reducing power and applying the appropriate braking is right on the mark I suspect. How these systems interfere with 'performance driving' is already starting to be apparent with these limitations seen on the skidpad and in avoidance (lane change) tests. As far as snow and ice are concerned, I guess those effects are most apparent when you are attempting to maintain momentum, often at a ragged edge of control, but the car 'decides' it doesn't want to move by doing the same sort of thing, cutting throttle and slowing steering responses. And yes give me a true LSD as opposed to an electronic traction control which does nothing but cut power to the offending wheel[s].0
Isn't the new Civic SI equipped with a "real" limited slip differential>?'16 Audi TTS quattro 2.0T, '15 Audi A4 quattro 2.0T, '16 Kia Optima LX 1.6T0
the Mazda6 should logically have the highest speed capabilities in a test like this, a slightly smaller more nimble design with an appropriately tight suspension to match. The fact that it doesn't may also have something to do with the standard traction control which can also cut power during manuevers like this. Judging by those results, BTW, I agree with you, they must be leaving it on, on those cars so equipped.0
sounds like they haven't updated their own website and haven't yet included included that test of the new Altima in the 03-07 CR issue. The Altima 2.5 is ranked ahead of the 4th place Honda 4 banger (something that suprised me). And the Altima 3.5 is rated at the same 89 points as the Passat 3.6 and the Honda EX V6 - all tied for first. The actual ratings for a number of these cars appear in post 11195.
Did get a chance to look at one the other day incidentally and the most apparent difference in the car (vs. my 03) besides the shiftless tranny is the quality and fit/finish of the interior. Could be an Accord! Evaluations of styling are certainly subjective and generally not worthy of debate, but IMO it is a good looking vehicle as well.0
My prediciton is it will have 270 HP with 22/32 type gas mileage, and still be a 3.0 or 3.2 tops.'16 Audi TTS quattro 2.0T, '15 Audi A4 quattro 2.0T, '16 Kia Optima LX 1.6T0
rennie4 Posts: 55They tested a 2.5s which i think has no full size spare. Without the full size spare the altima has 17.9 cu ft. The full size spare is standard on the 3.5 which has 15.3 cu ft.0
I think your prediction is likely right on given that the Nissan and Camry already are at that number. To match the Toyota's FE, they may have to add some camshafts, some sophisticated intake and exhaust valve programming, as well as some transmission control modifications. Would require essentially a new engine design and if Honda does that, hold onto your hats!0

text: The name "Rohingya" refers to a group of people suffering the worst oppression in the world; however, the plight of these people is barely heard or talked about in the media and their right to exist is being utterly denied. Even worse, they are deprived of their freedom of speech to speak out against the offenses they face. Moreover, human rights organizations and the international media are prevented from contacting the Rohingyas. Though the world witnesses their suffering, no one is fighting on behalf of the Rohingya people who are completely helpless and destitute. People considered worthy of Nobel Peace Prize, and the European states who pretend to be the defenders of human rights have made no attempts to help or speak on their behalf. The ruling junta and the radical gangs of Myanmar are oppressing the Rohingya people simply because they are Muslim. Although a handful of people have tried to raise the issue, there has not been a concerted or collective effort yet, and there doesn't seem to be any in the foreseeable future. Without any delay or hesitation the Muslim nations must unite and stand up together against this oppression imposed on the Rohingya people. The solidarity and agreement amongst Muslims would certainly lead to serious political pressure on the government of Myanmar and in the international arena. This book was penned to draw the world's attention to the plight of the Muslims of Myanmar, who are being oppressed, and to find real and meaningful solutions for their situation.

Ami has always branded themselves on strong tradition and excellent quality. So it would only make sense that they would create a classic sneaker to accompany the brands image. It's sophisticated yet with simple details, which makes it the perfect staple shoe.
Ami's new premier shoe features everything one might think to find on a sneaker, but with a twist only Ami can provide. The all leather body provides a luxury feeling while the suede detailing adds a fresh twist. The sole is made of a non-slip gum rubber perfect for any use. The Ami logo is branded on the back of the heel, giving the shoes an almost street-wear inspired feel. The sneaker has a straight forward attitude which is where its appeal comes from. Its the true nature of the sneakers that give it a bold statement.
Its newest addition to the Ami brand is the ideal summer sneaker, but being a seasonal item so it wont be around for much longer.

UNUSUAL PAIRING: Fish and Halloween? Don't mix, really, right? The denizens of the ocean don't know when October 31 arrives -- well, we're not saying they're not following the seasons in their aquatic way, but we've never seen a crab toting a calendar -- and they're not up on our human traditions. So any time we see something with fins show up around the spookiest time of year, we're. What? Charmed, is the word. Monterey Bay Aquarium has delivered for us in 2011, with its line of Halloween e-cards. They are very well done. Nope, you won't see a whale dressed as a ghost, but you will see a lot of classic B-movie styling. Well done, aquarium.
And there's a bunch, too. "Night of the Bloody Belly Comb Jelly" has our heart, but they're all cheeky and Halloween-sweet.

Every Thursday, we will use an event that occurred on this date to discuss an important moment in international history. This week: An agreement for collective self-sufficiency in West Africa (1975)
On 28th May 1975, a group of West African nations met in Lagos, Nigeria to sign a treaty calling for the establishment of an economic and trading union to work toward achieving collective self-sufficiency.
Efforts aiming at integration had begun in the decades prior to Lagos, with the introduction of the CFA franc currency in the 1940s, and a 1965 agreement between Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, proposed by Liberian president William Tubman. The greatest impact was made by Nigerian and Togolese heads of state Yakubu Gowon and Gnassingbe Eyadema, who toured the region in 1972, promoting integration.
The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) was created soon thereafter, to promote economic integration and create a single trading bloc in West Africa as a means to achieving significant development and a higher standard of living for the people of the region.
The ECOWAS region, now comprising of fifteen countries -- Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Togo and Cape Verde -- has a population of roughly 245 million (as of 2002), with Nigeria accounting for about half the population and aggregate GDP.
Industry, transport, telecommunications, energy, agriculture, natural resources and commerce make up the critical integrated economic activities, and have a cumulative GDP of $734.8 billion.
The organization has undergone many changes since it was first established. Mauritania withdrew from the community in 1990 due to conflicting ideologies. Prompted by conflicts and political strife in the region, ECOWAS has expanded its mandate from a purely economic one, to include political matters.
In 1990, the community set up the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), a West African multilateral armed force that was established to intervene in the civil war in Liberia. While the initiative was intended to enforce regional security, the ECOMOG came under scrutiny for its alleged human rights abuses and acts of corruption in Liberia. The collective force was later deployed in Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau.
Over the past two decades, revisions to the treaty have furthered the call for integration, promoting the institution of a common market and shared currency. Specialized agencies such as the ECOWAS Gender and Development Centre, Youth and Sports Development Centre as well as the Water Resources Coordination Centre have been set up.
West African nations currently enjoy the highest growth in the continent, with growth close to 7% in 2013, attributed largely to the oil and mineral sectors. However, due to differences in policies and issues of governance, ECOWAS still has a ways to go before it achieves its vision of a borderless, self-sufficient region.

The Portage Citizen –
Vionell Holdings, A Brandon real estate developer, can now take advantage of a tax incentive bylaw the City of Portage la Prairie council passed at its meeting May 14.
Should the project be constructed, and on time, the tax incentive bylaw will see the city forgive taxes on the project over a five-year period
The tax incentive will be over a five-year period after the occupancy permit is granted for each specific building with year one being a 100 per cent discount; year two an 80 per cent discount; year three 60 per cent; year four 40 per cent and ending in year five with a final 20 per cent discount. It is expected to be $568,000 in tax savings for Vionell Holdings.
The project is not exempt from school taxes.
"In order to build and rent housing at a reasonable rental rate, tax incentives have been sought by this company and Meighen Estates Ltd, the owners selling this property to the developer," Coun. Brent Budz said in introducing the new business to the public at council April 23. Background documents show Meighen Estates Ltd. and Vionell Holdings Partnership made a private presentation to city councillors on April 9, asking for the tax incentive.
Vionell Holdings proposes Meighen Estates to be constructed parallel to Ecole Arthur Meighen School and River Road. Vionell proposes to build four 32-unit multi-family buildings and four 12-unit condo/life lease buildings. In order to build and rent housing at a reasonable rental rate, tax incentives have been sought by Vionell and Meighen Estates Ltd, the owners selling this property to the developer. The multi-family building units will be two and three-bedroom units. No one so far has released information on what a "reasonable rental rate" will be.
On April 23 city council voted 4-2 with Coun. Ryan Espey absent, to approve first reading of the tax break bylaw to entice Vionell Holdings Partnership to Meighan Estates.
Councillors Wayne Wall, Brent Budz and Melissa Draycott voted to approve the tax incentive while councillors Brent Froese, Ryan Espey and Liz Driedger were opposed. Mayor Irvine Ferris cast the tie-breaker in favour to approve the bylaw.
Mayor Ferris has been the council's most forward supporter of the bylaw. Two of the four delegates at the May 14 meeting claimed Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation (CMHC) statistics the mayor uses to support his argument the incentive bylaw is needed, are not necessarily reflective of a desperate rental market.
"These are my numbers from CMHC," Mayor Ferris said. "I know that CMHC can miss things at times, however I got to tell you in the last two weeks I have had numerous calls, some of them were from developers against this. I also have had calls from business people and chamber members saying 'yes, this is absolutely the right thing to do'. I have had a tremendous amount of calls from people who are either renters or want to be renters," Ferris said. "Every single person I come in contact with I say, 'do you have a three-bedroom for rent'? I haven't had one single developer (or) landlord tell me that they have one. Maybe CMHC's numbers are out a bit, but that's the same kind of response I am getting from people who live in Portage la Prairie." Ferris said
CMHC (Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation) tracks vacancy rates for Canadian cities and have identified that the City of Portage la Prairie has a 1.5 per cent vacancy rate for two-bedroom apartments and no vacancies for three-bedroom apartments. "The city and its economic development office are aware that new and expanding industries in our community are currently seeking rental properties for their employees," Budz said in his introduction to the bylaw April 23.
Chris Bures, President C.H.B. Developments Inc., a Portage la Prairie developer will have a 64-unit condominium development come on the market at about the same time Meighan Estates does.
"CMHC has indicated that Portage has a vacancy rate of 1.5 per cent for two bedroom-homes and zero per cent for three-bedroom homes which is their survey figure that has been true for many years," Bures said in his presentation to city council. Bures added a real market report supporting Portage la Prairie's vacancy rate for three-bedroom apartments is consistent with the majority of other communities in Manitoba — many communities don't even list three-bedroom apartments.
"Where were these companies throughout these years? Answer is that with recent announcements and anticipated growth they see a strong market. Why as a council would we discount our future tax base? When investors see the investment growth now and had no intentions of investing in the past. Again, a pure business decision that council does not have to be involved in," Bures said.
He added council's job is to assure that they are welcome, help to acquire proper zoning, permits and to be aware of the local building codes. "As stated, the expanding industries in our area are currently seeking rental properties for their employees. Yes, this is true. The market will take care of itself with investment such as this one and Erickson Heights Ltd. and other developments currently under progress including our own company's 64-unit condo/rental options development."
"We welcome fair development in our community and welcome Vionell based on a fair playing field. Vionell is an experienced developer (See jandggroup.ca) and Meighen Estates is a local investment group and have made a decision to invest into our market based on a good business decision. They know the markets that they are going into and base their investment on these parameters. These investors are large entities and very experienced in their fields so why would the City of Portage find it necessary to support with a tax incentive?" Bures said.
Tax incentives are not new to the city, and to other Manitoba cities, particularly those wanting to incent developers to build inventory of affordable rental properties. In 2010, a tax discount was provided to the owners of Sage Grove Apartments for a 10-year period and at a declining discount, commencing at 100 per cent and reducing 10 per cent per year. The cities of Winkler, Dauphin and Steinbach have used tax incentives and discounts to incent developers to build their city's property inventory."
In his presentation, apartment real estate investor Eric Lee, cautioned city council if developers who invest according to market needs "are incentivized, apartment growth is no longer organic, it enters a boom and bust cycle because it encourages over building," Lee said. "As for the huge need that we sense that we have for additional housing, please don't misunderstand what is actually happening. Please don't make decisions on incomplete or incorrect data," Lee said.
Lee said there is no "mention of milestones or a required timeline of building schedule in the bylaw. The tax discount is conditional to all buildings that receive occupancy permits by Oct. 31, 2021. This seems to be too open-ended to guarantee that these proposed buildings will be able to satisfy the immediate need for housing that this council is trying to address."
The developer explained there are a number of two and three-bedroom apartments at Goodale Gardens that have been vacant for years that CMHC has failed to capture in its annual polling of landlords. Manitoba housing also has a number of vacant units because they are not rehabbing them.
Mayor Ferris asked Lee if he had any three-bedroom apartments for rent. Lee does not.
"I believe there is a need for this to happen. If somebody is not developing something 2-3 year's time, we're going to have a real crunch. We're going to have people commute to work in Portage and they're going to go right back to Winnipeg and whatever community," Ferris said. They're not going to shop here. They're not going to pay taxes here. They're not going to have their kids in school here.
"You got to have housing. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter how many jobs you have, people can't live here," the mayor said. These projects — 62-units — will have to be ready the end of December 2018."

text: One of my new starts is The Return to the World of Dating. (Please reread that sentence with a booming-announcer-scary voice.) I've dabbled here and there since splitting with my ex: the man I wanted to love who wanted to love someone else, the zen Beautiful Man (really) who broke a date because "I'm going on a week long cleansing with my guru, but I'll let you know when I get back". Hmmm. Nice.

Here at Mugleston's Pitbull Farm we believe the true measure of a kennel is not the bully pitbull males, but the bully pitbull females.
Most bully pitbull kennels have nice male bully pitbull dogs, but we believe to produce truly superior puppies a bully pitbull kennel needs top quality female "bully pitbulls" as well as incredible male "bully pitbull dogs". Because high quality thick and bully female "bully pitbulls" are difficult to obtain, many bully pitbull kennels are forced to breed taller or thinner headed female bully pitbulls to their thicker male bully pitbulls. The "bully pitbull dogs" produced from breedings like this are going to have half lanky genes and half thick genes. We were doing breedings like this ourselves here at Mugleston's back in the early 1990s. The problem was that since lanky or especially thinner headed "bully pits" genes seem to usually be dominant, the puppies produced by those breedings tended to turn out a lot more like the thinner dam than the thick and bully pitbull sire. Now I will say that we did manage to produce a few thick puppies out of breedings like this over the years. The problem we had with this was that when we bred these rare, thick offspring, they would throw "bully pitbulls" that looked more like their lanky mother than their bully pitbull father or themselves. We spent many years researching and learning while breeding these types of bully pitbulls. Then in the late 1990s with some hard work, perseverance, and a little luck, we finally managed to produce the superior quality bully pitbull bloodlines we are still improving today.
In short, if you are wanting to produce, or purchase bully pitbull bloodlines that consistently produce the same type of bully pitbull, BOTH parents, their siblings, and preferably all four grandparents should be the kind of "bully pitbulls" you are looking for. That way you know that the kind of "bully pitbulls" you want are most likely the only kind of "bully pitbulls" you are going to get. This approach will almost always consistently get you the kind of "bully pits" you want, no matter what kind of "bully pitbull dogs" you are actually interested in getting (i.e. game dogs, show dogs, etc.) In our experience, most typical pitbull bloodlines produce lanky (by our standards) or incorrect/defective dogs of both sexes.
Also note: With many bully pitbull bloodlines in the world today, the bully pitbull males are typically much thicker and bullier than the bully pitbull females are from that same family or litter. This is very common with rednose bloodlines and is also why it's so much more difficult to get thick bully female pits than it is to get thick male bully pitbulls. Here at Mugleston's Pitbull Farm we believe the bully pitbull females should be just as massive as the males.
With thick overbearing females that surpass most kennels males, our mission is to produce the Ultimate line of bully Pitbulls. Feel free to browse the site, and as always, thanks for visiting Mugleston's Pitbull Farm.
Check out this video of Mugleston's bully pitbull female at a little under a year old
Muglestons "Pitbulls" or "Pit Bulls" is a high quality "pit bull kennels" specializing in the shortwide "American Pitbull Terrier". We love our "Pitbulls" or "American Staffordshire Terriers" and "blue pitbulls" in particular. We often have some "blue pitbulls" or blue "American Staffordshire Terriers" for sale. Here at Mugleston's Pitbull Farm we have been breeding the "American Pitbull Terrier" or "American Staffordshire Terrier" also known as "pitbulls" or "pit bulls" at our "pit bull kennels" for structure and personality since 1993. We have been breeding "Blue pitbulls" or "American Staffordshire Terriers" here at our country "pitbull kennels" since 1998. All of our "American Pitbull Terrier" and "Blue Pitbulls" are UKC registered and all our "pitbulls" or "Pit bulls" puppies come with complete UKC "Pitbulls" registration. We believe we have some of the best "pit bulls" bloodlines in the world here at our country "Pit bull kennels" and we will continue to improve our "blue pitbulls" dog bloodlines as well as our other "pitbulls" dog bloodlines for years to come. Our goal is to have the very best "Pit Bulls" bloodlines available on earth.

My infographic on Media Literacy begins by giving a definition of media literacy that is derived from the definition that was defined by participants at the 1992 Aspen Media Literacy Leadership Institute. They concluded, media literacy was "The ability to access, analyze, evaluate and create media in a variety of forms." (Aufderheide,1992). I then give a simplified definition that is a summation of the definition provided by the Media Literacy Project. Media literacy is not only about protecting children from the messages of the media, in fact, that is an improbable mission. Media is surrounds our culture and is inescapable. Instead of protecting children from the media, media literacy is about teaching competencies, critical thinking, and basics of literacies in all forms of media so they can begin to analyze the media and interpret the messages on their own. In order to help make this point clearer, I follow the definitions with two more fundamental ideas regarding media literacy, "It is about developing the public's critical and creative abilities when it comes to the media," and a quote from the Kaiser Family Foundation, "a media literate person can think critically about what they see, hear and read in books, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, movies, music, advertising, video games, the Internet, and new emerging technology. For many proponents, it also includes learning how to create messages using print, audio, video, and multimedia (2003)."
The second part of my infographic covers the core concepts of media literacy as set forth by media literacy pioneer Barry Duncan and the Association for Media Literacy in Ontario. While these core concepts are from Canadian teachings, I believe they summarize the theoretical base and framework for media literacy curriculum and discussion (Jolls & Wilson, 2014). The Association for Media Literacy has 8 key concepts for media literacy:
- All media are constructions.
- The media construct reality.
- Audiences negotiate meaning in media.
- Media have commercial implications.
- Media contain ideological and value messages.
- Media have social and political implications.
- Form and content are closely related in the media.
- Each medium has a unique aesthetic form.
For my infographic, I have condensed these 8 concepts into 5 that I believe make for a simpler connection to the infographic viewer. My first core concept is that Media are constructions. This means that all media, whether it be a movie, magazine, news, or advertisement are made by individuals to create a message. These messages contain the creator's personal beliefs, biases, opinions, and assumptions. My second core concept is that media has commercial implications. All media are businesses whose primary goal is to make money. Businesses, corporations, investors, all influence the content and distribution media. A story can be told; however, it can be framed in whatever light the media would like. The third core concept is that media has its own aesthetic form. Media is an art, and various techniques are taught and used to grab consumers' attention. Everything from the use of certain words, to colors, to music, are all utilized to "hook" the viewers' attention. The fourth core concept is that media is social and political. This sums up the fact that media convey values, power, and authority. The media are powerful entities that have a massive influence over social norms, acceptance, personal values, societal values, and political leadership. My last core concept is that audiences negotiate meaning. This is a large category of information, that covers factors that may influence the meaning of a media message. However, to summarize the large amount of information into a small idea I state that, "consumers have varying learned meanings from the same media" (Kubey & Baker, 1999).
My infographic then gives some examples as to why media literacy is important. I begin with a graphic emphasizing the power of television and how media can help form an individual's personal opinions and beliefs (Manzaria & Bruck, 2012). In order to emphasize the importance of analyzing the messages that media present, I use a graphic showing a fake example of how various media sources may interpret a scenario. In the graphic I use, I show a photo of President Obama drinking a Pepsi and four different news sources with varying takes on this "news story." I then present info on research that indicates that incorporating media lessons into standard curriculum can help reduce potentially harmful effects of TV and Film violence on young viewers. Research by Renee Hobbs and Richard Frost (1999) show that learning to deconstruct media messages can help juvenile offenders think critically about the consequences of risky behaviors. I present this information with text as well as a few simple icons to represent media.
In order to represent how media is currently adopted in education, I use graphics and information from various research sources. The first graphic is a is a representation of research published by Renee Hobbs and Richard Frost in "Instructional Practices in Media Literacy and Their Impact on Students' Learning," that was published in the New Jersey Journal of Communication. They show that all 50 states that are now implementing media literacy as part of the educational framework. Using graphic icons, I also show that most schools incorporate media literacy as a component in major subject areas such as English, language and communication arts, social studies, civics or health
The last section of my infographic lists a few ideas on how to integrate media literacy into curriculum by using media projects such as videos, audio stories, and photo essays. I show an idea for a history class to produce a news show in which they act as two separate media corporations and give two sides to the story. I also give basic ideas for a math class to produce a video in which the students "prove" a false formula. This helps the students realize how easy it is for the media to give false information. English classes could produce a radio who about a Shakespeare play, science classes could create magazine covers, and so on. I end the infographic with text, "Integrating media projects into curriculum will enhance students learning about the subject at hand, as well as teach media literacy" (Ashley, 2015).

Our Rating
After reviewing NutriSource Dog Food ingredients and reviews, we have given this brand 4.5 out of 5 stars.
At a Glance: Our Choices for the Nutrisource Dog Food
There are but a few NutriSource Dog Food reviews out there, because the brand's pretty new. Even so, customers are raving about this brand. Most of their products have top-quality ingredients and easy-to-digest formulas which make for happy and healthy dogs.
One of the coolest features of Nutrisource Dog Food is they claim you can feed your dog less with this dog food. This saves you money. But make sure you keep your dog from eating more than they need. Another interesting fact about NutriSource is the inclusion of Sel-Plex Selenium, which is an organic form of Selenium. This makes the food much easier to digest for all dogs at every stage of life.
Customers who bought multiple bags of NutriSource reported that the food kept its freshness down to the last bag and their dogs enjoyed the taste.
Easy to Digest
Every product on the product list had reviews that stated their dogs were finding the dog easy to digest. Customer reviews are certainly raving about the way dogs are having fewer stomach issues.
Slow Delivery Time
Some of the customers reported that the wait time for the bags of food was less-than-ideal taking more time than desired. However, the plus side of this is that when the food was delivered, it was fresh!
Overpriced by Some Vendors
While this is not a direct correlation to NutriSource, some vendors are overpricing the dog food which reflects a bit poorly on the dog food brand itself. Customers reported that local stores sold it for less than online, so customers recommend buying in person rather than online.
Product Line
Ingredients Analysis
The top ingredient listed on the ingredients list is chicken with the second ingredient being chicken meal. These are great sources of protein and nutrients (and natural). You will also find brown rice, white rice, oatmeal, and fish meal, lamb meal and chicken fat—all great sources of nutrients your pup needs to be healthy and happy.

[REVIEW] Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them
Director: David Yates
Starring: Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterson, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell
Brandon's Take
All right people, so the Harry Potter world finally got extended years after our Wizard boners started going down to a half-chub! That's right, I saw Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them!
This movie did an excellent job making me jump back into the world of magic with no hesitation (and no condom), and it was amazing! Eddie Redmayne plays Newt Scamader who is a wizard from England coming to the US to buy some illegal tigers and shit (or something like it). His character is a lovable and powerful magician who gives off all of the best rapey vibes! The whole time you're thinking "I really want some Newt in me, but I can't tell if he's autistic".
Dan Fogler plays a "No-Maj" (muggle) that is actually one of the best characters in the movie! There are excellent visuals combined with an elite cast an even some dope plot twists. Although the storyline can be somewhat difficult to follow they bring it to an excellent conclusion!
Rating: Overall, I give this movie 5 out of 5 giggle shots!
Shawn's Take
The film starts with Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne doing his best impression of 1990s Hugh Grant), an awkward yet charming magizoologist, coming to America toting a briefcase full of magical creatures. But there's a problem: the damn thing pops open every 5 minutes. GET A NEW BRIEFCASE, BRO. Or use duct-tape or something. You're just asking for trouble. Jump to... Things get out of hand when Newt accidentally switches briefcases with cartoonish Harvey Keitel… sorry, I mean "typical 1920s New-Yorker" Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler of Balls of Fury "fame"). Kowalski is a No-Maj (the American term for "muggle" or a non-wizard), who unknowingly takes the briefcase home, where it opens, allowing these asshole creatures to get out and destroy New York City. But most of them are cute, so it's OK.
Anyway, Newt and Kowalski spend a good chunk of the movie trying to track down the beasts, all the while being followed by a witch and former officer of MACUSA (Magical Congress of the USA) named Tina, who is also awkward as hell. Bumbling hilarity ensues. Tina initially wants to turn Newt in to impress the higher-ups, so she can become a full-fledged agent again, but she soon falls for Newt's "I'm so dumb, I'm cute" shtick and decides to help them. Also, Tina has a sister named Queenie (1920s NYC, amiright?) who is a witch with Legilimency, which means she can read minds and emotions. Queenie is adorable, and is smitten with the No-Maj (and constantly sweaty) Kowalski because I don't know why.
The gang then runs afoul of the sinister Percival Graves (Colin Farrell, of course), the Director of MACUSA and a (presumably but obvious) Dark Wizard who wants to bring wizardry into the human world through force. He spends a lot of the movie being a dick and (creepily/uncomfortably) manipulating a teenage boy named Credence, played by The Flash… I mean Ezra Miller. Graves believes one of Ezra's younger siblings to be a wizard who has garnered a very dark power (called an Obscurial). An Obscurial is formed when a wizard spends years attempting to suppress their natural, magical abilities. Obscurials are very destructive, temperamental and even deadly, which takes a large toll on the host wizard (they never live past the age of 10 years old). Graves wants to use the Obscurial to wreak havoc on the No-Maj world. Now, it's up to the gang to save Credence from the Dark Side and thwart Graves' evil plan.
There is an overlying story about a dangerous Dark Wizard named Gellert Grindelwald who (also) believes wizards shouldn't have to hide underground any longer, and wages a war on humans and wizards to bring magic into the No-Maj world (Sound familiar?). This leads to rampant fear and discrimination towards wizards and magic in the United States. Without spoiling too much, this is the set up for the next film and I'm sure the entire series.
Final verdict: I know I gave a snarky synopsis, but I legitimately enjoyed this movie. I was never a fanatic for the Harry Potter films, but I've seen them all, and this was a really fun, albeit dark AF, prequel. There are even a few harps to the Harry Potter stories (when they mention Albus Dumbledore, I thought everyone in the theater was going to money shot all over the screen). The beasts are truly fantastic against the backdrop of post WWI-era New York City. Redmayne is charming as Newt, and Dan Fogler might be one of my favorite side-kicks ever. I could listen to Kowalski do his high-pitched "Ha!" after a shot of Giggle Water over and over again.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Goblin Ron Perlmans

What is the Civil Peace Service (CPS)?
In the mid-1990s the Civil Peace Service was developed by a number of organisations from the German peace movement – including KURVE Wustrow. Since 1998, the Civil Peace Service is a programme funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Regions and Partner
Currently we are cooperating with partner organisations in three regions: in the Western Balkans in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia; in the Middle East in Palestine and Israel; in South Asia in Nepal and in South East Asia in Myanmar.
Going abroad as a Peace Worker
KURVE Wustrow is sending peace workers in line with the Development Aid Workers Act. They usually work for three years in a partner organisation, in which they implement a peace project jointly in a team with local staff.
Julia Kramer, our project adviser, introduces our work in the framework of the Civil Peace Service:

one really?
Lets' see, Harvard Business School, defines an entrepreneur as somebody who reaches out for opportunity without being constrained by a lack of resources. So, is that you?
Bob Reiss, successful entrepreneur and author of Low-Risk, High-Reward: Starting and Growing Your Small Business with Minimal Risk, says you are an entrepreneur if you can recognize and pursuit an opportunity
- Without regards to the resources you currently control
- With confidence that you will succeed
- With the flexibility to change course as necessary
- With the will to rebound from setbacks
Do all these define you? Do you still think you are an entrepreneur?
Note that both the Harvard Business School and Reiss's definition of an entrepreneur point out that the entrepreneur undertakes opportunities regardless of the resources the entrepreneur currently controls.
Are you one of those that say they would have loved to start a business, but you just don't have the money to get started?
Well, neither did many of history's greatest entrepreneurs. These successful entrepreneurs didn't start rich and successful. They started very small and ended rich and successful.
If you are an entrepreneur, you will see problems (even your lack of capital) as opportunities, then, you will take action to identify the solutions to these problems and eventually the customers who will pay to have their problems solved.
Now, nobody said it's going to be easy, no, far from it. But, if you are indeed an entrepreneur, you will find a way even after initial failures. This is because, entrepreneurs dare to dream the dreams and they try to make their dreams come true.
They genuinely believe they have something new to offer. To them, life will remain a fantasy unless their dreams are actualized.
The rewards of being an entrepreneur could be quite phenomenal and the risk involved is quite manageable. True entrepreneurs don't gamble, they take calculated risk that they can effectively manage.
Once again, are you an entrepreneur?

Greetings, Bearers!
Sorry about not posting more regularly. You'd think that summer would be an easier time for me to keep up with the updates, and unfortunately it hasn't been. But, on a good note, there has been quite a bit happening. Very exciting stuff that I can't fully discuss at the moment, but will be more free to share as things get rolling! So bear with me, fellow adventurers! You'll be glad you did!
In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying the beginning of football season like I did with THIS game. 😀
See you in the Vein!

Monthly Reading List - Autism Acceptance Month Edition/
April was "Autism Awareness Month." Or, as a great many autistic people prefer to call it, "Autism Acceptance Month."
I'm not sure why I'm so interested in the intense debates about autism. As far as I know, I'm not autistic. Maybe I'm fascinated because the conflict over what autism is, how much of a problem it is, what kind of problem it is, for whom, and indeed whether it even IS a problem … reflects similar but less sharply defined issues in the disability community as a whole.
In any case, my reading list for April is all about autism …
The CDC just announced one in 59 children are autistic. Here's why that's not evidence of an epidemic
Ari Ne'eman, Vox.com - April 30, 2018
Ari Ne'eman clarifies the question of whether autism is an "epidemic." For one thing, it isn't because it isn't a disease ... although whether it is a disability still seems somewhat debatable, even among autistic people. What Ari focuses on here though is that it's not an epidemic because it isn't actually increasing. What's increasing is the number of people diagnosed and recognized as being autistic. One of the central arguments of the "neurodiversity" view of autism is that people have always been autistic at something like these rates. It's just that they weren't identified as such.
Welcome To The Autistic Community
Autistic Self Advocacy Network - February 14, 2018
An implicit reply to neurodiversity is, "Then what are we supposed to do about / for autistic people?" This handbook, by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network goes a long way towards answering that question, addressing autistic people directly.
Real Autism
Sarah Kurchack, Hazlitt - April 9, 2018
Sarah unpacks her personal experience with what seems to be another of the key conflicts over autism ... how differing definitions of autism include and exclude people who have been diagnosed as autistic, and experience definite characteristics of autism. It's hard to even discuss this without alluding to high and low "functioning" labels, because that seems to be what it's all about ... the perception that if an autistic person doesn't presently display a list of stereotypical "behaviors," then they aren't "really" autistic. It's a variation on the "No true Scotsman" fallacy, and it's enough to make anyone's head spin if they try to unwind it.
Meltdowns Over Meltdowns
Kerima Cevik, The Autism Wars
This is a very real and realistic examination of what "meltdowns" are, how they are regarded, how parents of autistic kids respond to them, and ... maybe most importantly ... how overlapping stereotypes and prejudices of autism, gender, age, and race can compound the impact and danger for autistic people.
15 Autistic Activists You Should Follow This Autism Acceptance Month
Alaina Leary, Rooted In Rights - April 26, 2018
The best way to get a variety of perspectives on autism ... other than usual "mysterious affliction," "parental nightmare," and "public health epidemic" versions ... is to see what autistic people have to say about autism. This piece is a good place to start.

I was very happy to work with Tommee Tippee in preparation for their 'Ultra Games' sporting event. I have used Tommee Tippee products since I had my eldest child, Lou in March 2012. I used the products again for my 2nd child Moo, from March 2015. My children have used Tommee Tippee original bottles, soothers, Tippee cups and beakers, bowls, snack tubs, etc! I find that Tommee Tippee products are those of a very good quality and strong to withstand daily use with babies and young children.
I was happy to receive the new Tommee Tippee Ultra bottle to try on Moo, I will also be giving away another brand new Ultra bottle, more details to follow below.
We also received a Tommee Tippee Ultra 'Athlete status' medal and sweat band, where Moo was fascinated with the star-shaped Medal.
It was interesting to see how the bottle has evolved over time after Moo started using the original Tommee Tippee bottles, we were able to compare the newest Ultra model. Moo found it easier to hold this bottle herself, which she was pleased about – being such an independent and strong willed young lady! The angle of this bottle also allows for a smooth milk flow, which is beneficial, especially for younger babies, as both of my babies had colic. The design of the Ultra teat also allows for less air ingestion and discomfort.
I have always found that because Tommee Tippee bottles have a wide neck teat, it allows for switching between breast and bottle feeding. I also found that this bottle is less dribbly for Moo, the screw ring is thicker and wider than the original Tommee Tippee bottles.
As with previous bottles the Ultra range comes in 2 different sizes – 260ml and 150ml, with 3 different teat sizes:
• 1 = Slow flow (from 0m+)
• 2 = Medium flow (from 3m+)
• 3 = Fast flow (from 6m+)
Due to the Ultra featuring a unique:
'Contoured and angled' teat'
(Source: Tommee Tippee Ultra bottle and teat instructions.)
As with other Tommee Tippee specialist bottles, they are only suitable for use with Tommee Tippee Ultra teats. I've had to ensure to pick up the correct teats for the type of bottle in the past.
As I know quite a few ladies who are currently pregnant, I will be highly recommending the new Tommee Tippee Ultra bottles to them.
For more details:
Please visit www.tommeetippee.com

Don't miss another Client call!
Busy real estate agents need this easy, effective and inexpensive tool to promote listings
As a busy Real Estate Agent, your mobile phone is probably one of life's essentials, as it is for the vast majority of the world's population today. Almost everybody has one, and it goes everywhere with them, always within reach.
Around half of all mobile phones in use today, of which there approximately 4 billion, are smart phones with internet capability. Google, the world's no.1 search engine, has seen an exponential growth in the number of searches being performed on a mobile device, and it's predicted that more people will access the internet from their smart phone than from their personal computers by early 2014 at the latest.
These days, mobile phones are far more than just a calling device. Smart phones are like a pocket PC, always on, always accessible to text, email, Tweet and Chat. Smart phone users "check in" to the places they visit, they take photos and videos of things they like, and share them with their friends on Facebook and Instagram. They use their mobile to get directions to where they want to go. They use it to shop, to browse websites of interest, and to get information quickly, whenever they want it, and wherever they happen to be at the time, whether that's at home, waiting in line somewhere, commuting to work or eating out.
In other words, the mobile smart phone has become an integral and inseparable part of our daily lives. In a competitive world the more we know about presenting our service, the more successful we can become. One great resource is http://marketingbooksbydan.com which features short and to the point books especially written for the small business owner.
Why Is A Mobile Website So Important?
We've clearly established that the general use of mobile, hand held devices like smart phones, ipads and tablets has grown, and continues to grow, exponentially. We've also established that the use of mobile devices to access the internet is very soon set to surpass the use of desktop computers to access the internet.
Businesses who want to take full advantage of this growing trend, and who don't want to be left behind, must give mobile users access to their website and information in a format that's friendly to the user's device. In other words, they must cater to the smaller screens on mobile devices.
Although most websites can be displayed on a mobile device, traditional websites designed to be accessed via a desktop computer or lap top are not suitable for actually viewing on a mobile device.
The text is far too small to read without the user constantly "expanding", "pinching" and scrolling around. The file size of the images is too large to load quickly on a mobile device, if they load at all. Navigation is slow and difficult so the mobile user cannot find what they want or cannot easily visit more than one page of the site. These problems cause a great deal of frustration for the mobile visitor and leads to an extremely disappointing experience for them, which in turn put the business owner in a very bad light.
Just as internet users expect businesses to have a website, mobile internet users expect businesses to have a mobile friendly website. Considering that half of all Internet searches for local products and services are performed on a mobile device, if your website does not load properly or makes it difficult for people to find what they are looking for, not only is your reputation on the line, you are also potentially losing hundreds of customers.

When I lived in Washington, D. C., some 20 years ago, I used to frequently visit The Alice Pike Barney Studio House, a curious stucco-clad museum on Massachusetts Avenue. The Spanish Revival Style townhouse had been the home of a somewhat racy hostess and artist who surrounded herself with painters, sculptors, and the like, many of whom were likely most attracted by her millions. Some of the money came from her whiskey-distiller father and the rest via her late husband, a railway-car manufacturer. Though largely forgotten today—the house-museum, an extraordinary place, was cruelly sold to Latvia, which now uses it as its embassy—the eminent Mrs. Barney was a major mover and shaker in the Washington art world and deserves to be more admired than she is. But that civic reputation pales beside her position as the mother of Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), a dashing lesbian poet and playwright who cut a wide swath in European literary circles and left dozens of broken hearts in her considerable amatory wake.
Known as the Amazon for her blonde beauty, Barney lived glamorously, wrote flamboyantly, and romanced women in a manner than can only be called swashbuckling, from painter Romaine Brooks to literary niece Dolly Wilde. (Her mother, predictably enough, was horrified, and was scandalized by her daughter's Sapphic poetry.) She and Alice B. Toklas were good friends, and when time came for Toklas to publish her famous cookery book, she included a few of Barney's spécialités de la maison. I tried one of them recently, a side dish called Stuffed Egg Plant with Sugar. This is one of my favourite vegetables, and the directions looked absolutely unchallenging. I was a bit wrong on that score. Have you ever tried to scoop out the insides of an eggplant without damaging the lustrous purple skin? It is not particularly easy. Once that is completed, however, the rest is smooth sailing, culinarily speaking. The only thing I would change about the recipe is to (a) toss the mixture of eggplant and breadcrumbs with a bit of olive oil to moisten it before baking and/or (b) to evenly distribute the butter across the entire surface of the eggplant-and-breadcrumb mixture rather than plopping it in the center as directed. As for the sugar, it adds a pleasant sweetness.
SOURCE: Natalie Clifford Barney, as reprinted in The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book by Alice B. Toklas (Anchor Books, 1960)
2 egg plants
1/4 pound dried breadcrumbs
2 dessertspoons sugar [a little less than 2 tablespoons by US standards — I made a mistake in the post earlier by stating 4 heaping tablespoons and have corrected this]
1 large pinch of salt
Pepper to taste
Divide the egg plants in half lengthwise. Remove the pulp, chop, [place in a large mixing bowl], add breadcrumbs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stuff the four halves very abundantly [and place on a cookie sheet]. On each half place a piece of butter the size of a large walnut and 1 tablespoon of water and cook in a moderate oven [350 degrees Fahrenheit] for 1/2 hour [or until golden brown on top].


text: When we think of farms, the images that come to mind are often romanticized scenes of people filling baskets with fresh-picked produce or seated around a rustic table for a meal. So you may be in for a bit of a shock when you get there, especially if you arrive during the day when most of the work is done. The heat, dust and terrain quickly let you know this is back-breaking work. Nonetheless, it is fun being on a farm and the flavor of freshly picked produce is something else altogether. Look out for the story in the winter issue of Edible San Diego which is out at the end of this month. http://www.facebook.com/ediblesandiego

It was only a matter of time before DC comics wanted in on the whole established super hero universe that Marvel has done so successfully since 2008. Sure, they have "The Dark Knight Trilogy" which resulted in an Academy Award for Ledger, a first for a super hero film, and the fact that many people look at it as not only one of the best films of that genre but one of the best films of all time. DC wanted to see if they could keep up with Marvel in that regard, did they do it?
This time, outside of a very brief glimpse of Bruce Wayne's tragic past, shown during the opening credits, we are spared an origin story for this old aged Batman, played very well by Ben Affleck. The film starts out giving us the reason why Batman is dead set against Superman. It is a legitimate reason that does explore the question, how long before the God like being, that is seen as a savior for mankind, loses his innocence and goodness then turns against the very world he vows to protect? Clarke Kent, on the contrary, feels the same way about Batman and looks to expose him. It is a similar question that was the theme for director Zack Synder's 2009 adaptation of 'Watchmen." These super heroes look after us but who keeps them in check? Congress holds hearings about what to make of Superman after the fallout from his battle with General Zod, which took place in 2013's "Man of Steel." While they want to discuss it using the power of democracy, there is another one, like Batman, who wants to destroy the Man of Steel. Billionaire and businessman Lex Luthor is in hunt for a way to stop Superman by uncovering a material called Kryptonite. On top of that, you have Superman brooding about if he is the savior he wants to be.
The premise and the questions are interesting but the execution is very off. This film is the launching pad for the new "Justice League' movie, that will be hitting the movie screens in 2017, and that future film hurts the development of this one. Ben Affleck is good as Bruce Wayne but could've given us more to his performance if the film wasn't so concerned with setting up the events of the future installment. The length of this thing is two and half hours and it does feel like it. On top of the story laid out in the paragraph above you have all these events that are suppose to set up future films, including a very misplaced dream sequence by one of our main characters. It is beautifully filmed, with great action, and it does set up the future of this franchise, but it just felt very forced and heavy handed. Most of the events in this movie are extremely overly dramatic, much of them involving Clark Kent. Snyder perfectly set the tone with "Man of Steel" by making Superman, a character too good to be interesting, a hero who questions himself and his actions on this Earth. In this film, it backfires and just makes Superman seem like a brooding teenager. None of the thrill, fun, or the goodness is there without it being questioned by the character. Cavill does give him a lot of dramatic weight but never seems to be allowed to have fun in the role. Most of the scenes with him and Lois Lane, again played by Amy Adams, feel like they were pulled out of some terrible soap opera. The pair had such a playful energy last time, but they are such a bummer to watch this time around. Synder's direction of his actors is all over the place.
This includes the villain of the film, Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Lex Luthor. His performance can be equated to a rollercoaster in regard of the amount of energy he brings to the role. There are times where he is whiny, condescending, and plays it like his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg. Then there are other times he plays it goofy and extremely hammy. My favorite way though in the carousel of choices he gives us is when he really becomes maniacal. As when an animal is backed into a corner, Eisenberg really shines when he plays the way it should've been played in this universe: dark and unforgiving. There is a moment where he has Superman on his knees, without the use of Kryptonite, and the way Eisenberg gets pleasure out of Superman's suffering was the one time I felt the seriousness of the threat of this film. The other times he just comes off like a 90's super villain. Once again, it is Synder who mishandles what could've been a great role for his actor. Luckily, for Gal Gadot, who has the honor of bringing Wonder Women to the big screen for the first time, she doesn't have much to do. Her presence and limited screen time feels right. She is a strong supporting character in the film that shows promise that she can handle the weight of carrying this character in her future solo film.
Outside of the misuse of time and the clumsiness of directing his actors, Synder resorts to many of his directorial traits that feel overdone here. The slow motion technique is one to evoke the audience in feeling the emotions on the screen. Synder constantly falls back to this choice and it takes away from it more and more until it becomes a bit comical. The film, towards the end, becomes a CGI slugfest for your senses. Now, it is very hard to ground a story like this in reality but this film doesn't seem to try at all. Everything looks too polished and artificial. Doomsday's animation is shoddy and , along with the messy script, takes away from the importance of the character.
There are some bright spots in Synder's direction, especially when it comes to framing famous comic book scenes. An iconic image is beautifully filmed that really hammers home the power of that specific scene. Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good and what we are left with is something resembling a video game and lacking any soul or heart, no matter how hard the actors try to inject humanity into it.

Women are Too Nice: Since most women are typically non-confrontational, they instead "hope" that by being amicable in a divorce, the marital assets (especially the husband's business) will be divided equally and the support for them (and their minor children) will be equitable. Unfortunately, in some cases, their hope backfires since their husbands have different objectives as the in-spouse, who remains in charge of the business. Bottom Line: Hope is not a game plan and "nice girls" may finish last.
Women Can Be Too Emotional (and Less Intellectual): Emotions often cloud intellect. Divorce is like any crisis. We all have an emotional response. Women, much more than men, have an emotional response to divorce. Even professional and successful women have an understandable emotional response to divorce and the fear of the unknown. Women need to focus more of their energy on the legal and economic facts instead of dwelling on less relevant (though important) issues such as their husband's infidelity or addiction. Bottom Line: Divorce is like drowning. The more we panic (an emotional response), the more likely we are to drown.
Women are Too Trusting (of Just Any Divorce Attorney): Sometimes even after women's trust have been violated, they are still too trusting. Often, in the midst of contemplating a divorce, women do not have the tools or filters to decide on the "right" attorney. Most women (as well as men) do not have the experience or familiarity when deciding on the "right" attorney. Women generally rely on the advice of friends or family when it comes to selecting their divorce attorney. However, divorce attorneys are diverse in their attitude, approach and qualifications. Unfortunately, the attorney they choose may have been great for their friend but not for them. Women may need an aggressive or "pit bull" attorney or they may need an attorney that can modulate or adjust their attitude depending on the circumstance. Women may need a litigator since their husbands may be playing "hide-the-ball" or they may need an attorney who believes in mediation or collaboration as the only approach (in order to preserve the family). Women may need an attorney that is also a CPA (especially if their case is financially complex). Bottom Line: When it comes to divorce attorneys, "one size" does not fit all.
Women Should Understand Their Divorce: Women need to understand of the divorce process since it is their divorce. Women who are not active participants or actively engaged in the process of understanding their divorce will be disappointed. Women should not micro-manage their attorney, instead they should understand the overall process and objectives of their divorce and the probabilities of success for each objective by asking their attorney probing questions about their divorce. They should understand that their case could have success several motions, of which some may be denied by the judge. They should understand that the process of information gathering (discovery) might be frustrating and that they may never receive all the information or the cost of receiving all the information is expensive because their husbands are obstructing the process. Before trial, women need to understand the distinction between what is right and what can be "objectively" proved (preponderance of the evidence). Bottom Line: What you don't know (or understand) may hurt you.
Women Try to Be Financially Astute (All at Once): Since women are probably wage earners or full-time parents, they are typically the out-spouse (or not "in-charge" of the business). As a result, they don't necessarily know or understand the finances of the husband's business. However, women facing divorce attempt to instantly "digest" the financial picture of the husband's business when they have been more involved with raising their children most of their married lives. Bottom Line: Call Greg at CROSSCOR Valuations & Forensics Inc. and tell him your financial story. Greg will provide his financial perspective in the context of a divorce, which may be one among several points of view for women to consider.
