Welcome Home Troops And Happy Holidays!
I remember very well how during the Bush administration, the mere mention of pulling our troops out of Iraq made people like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Vice President Cheney and his minions go nuts and start ranting about how leaving Iraq would be admitting defeat, as if just staying there for the rest of time would somehow turn it into winning. Their reasoning has never made any sense, but neither was their reasoning for getting us in there in the first place.
The Iraq war will go down in history as the most stupid venture our country ever entered into and the most costly by every measure. The evolving justifications for the war just got crazier as time went on. It was, of course, just one of the giant messes that was handed to President Obama when he was sworn in and one that he vowed to bring to an end and yesterday, it officially happened.
THE US flag was lowered in Baghdad today in a ceremony to mark the end of the Iraq war after almost nine years.
American military operations have been wound up and Barack Obama marked the milestone with a speech to troops in the US yesterday.
The president applauded the soldiers who served, the 4,500 who died and the thousands wounded.
Speaking at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, he said: "Iraq's future will be in the hands of its people. America's war in Iraq is over.
"On behalf of a grateful nation, I'm proud to finally say these two words: Welcome home."
President Obama did an amazing job at winding down the operation and making it possible for us to exit the country as he promised. It is one of the reasons why I voted for him and I am extremely glad that I did.
I'm going to just ignore the idiots like Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill who will surely try to distract people from this monumental day; they were out on the Twitterz this week completely ignoring the President's accomplishment and obsessing about the NDAA, which roadkillrefugee covered the other day. For all the digital ink that people like Greenwald spilled on the mistake that was the Iraq War, you would think he would be singing the Presidents praises from high atop his perch at Salon.com — now that the war is over. I don't visit that site anymore, but I can say with confidence that GG isn't doing that.
There will be a lot of "yeah but what about…" coming from this camp in the near future. Some of the articles I scanned on this monumental event had "yeah buts" in the very first sentence of the article. They can't even write one goddamn sentence of fact without qualifying it with negativity. Here is the first sentence from a story at the New York Times on the end of the Iraq War…
BAGHDAD — The United States military officially declared an end to its mission in Iraq on Thursday even as violence continues to plague the country and the Muslim world remains distrustful of American power.
Anyone remember Judith Miller and her role in selling the war back in early days of Bush/Cheney? I do. So it doesn't come as a surprise that the line the NYT's takes fits right in with the hawks like McCain and Graham who seem to love them some endless wars and apparently think the only good war is the one that never ends.
My feelings on both wars that were handed to President Obama has been that much of the violence in both countries stems from us simply being there and occupying and destroying their land. It's one of those vicious cycles the Republicans got themselves into. It's like painting a giant target on your back and then wondering why people are shooting at you.
It's over, done, finished….we're out of there. And I think we should all stop and take a minute to be thankful that President Obama fulfilled his promise to get us the hell out of Iraq.
Now, let's get the hell out of Afghanistan too.

My company is doing a study to determine where we should be going with regards to our mapping/GIS tools. We have been using the 7.1 version of the SDK and moved to the Mappro80 and we are very happy with it. As our business is growing, there are some developers on our team that are pushing to go away from the mappro sdk and adopt a google solution. Two of us are hesitant and want to stay with what we know and what has been working for us well for a number of years and there a couple of developers that are championing the use of openstreetmap.
We are really having a hard time deciding which way to go. Each approach has pluses and minuses. I am wondering if others here have gone through the process of similar decisions and the reasons they decided one way, or the other.
Part of what makes the google approach attractive is that we plan to also add a server-based solution to our products and although possible, it doesn't appear that MapPro80 makes such a thing easy to do. On the other hand, not having to rely on internet connectivity to use the product, like you can do with MapPro80, is very desirable.
Anyway, any feedback anyone here can provide would be great!

Pest control has evolved in a last few years largely due to improper use of pesticides by a pest control professionals in a years pest. Indiscriminate use of very toxic broad spectrum pesticides forced EPA and most State DEP's to come up with safer alternatives. Large number of pesticides were banned all together and some became a lot more restrictive. Chemical industry, to their credit has stepped up to a plate and great alternative products were created. Today we have a range of products with a narrow spectrum capable to wipe out a specific pest more safely and without much of impact on surrounding environment, if used according to a label prescription. New products available to Pest Control technician allow customers to save mattress and furniture, that had to be discarded before. But most important element in pest control is an educated consumer, who can recognize that there is is a pest issue on premises long before it becomes a serious problem. There are things a homeowners can do themselves, like proper hygiene, clutter elimination, etc and also timely call to pest control exterminator. When picking a pest control company always make sure that they are properly licensed by NJ DEP.

Bed bugs
are becoming more of serious problem in New Jersey, due to the fact that we live in high density population area (NJ has highest population density in all 50 states) with high level of travel. There are no more safe areas due to resistance of this parasite and it's ability to hitch a ride in clothing or a luggage.
Bed bugs
proliferation increased over 500% in just a last few years and now is a lot more than just a nuisance problem. People react differently to a bed bug bites, some developing an itchy rash and severe allergic reaction and others may not have any symptoms at all. If bed bugs are suspected, responsible parties should contact licensed pest control company as soon as possible. Treating bed bugs with household or over-the-counter pesticides
make matter worst by simply dispersing them to other areas and allowing bed bugs to build resistance to pesticides. Avoid moving bed bug infested furniture and mattress to minimize spreading.

Approaching warm weather brings increased wasp and yellowjacket population in Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex, Union, Mercer and Hudson Counties. All those insects that were able to overwinter will begin to build nests and rapidly multiply.

We will provide you with courteous service, valuable information on wasp nest removal and general pest control, free evaluation of your property and best of all - superior customer service.
is probably one of the most misunderstood insects. They have been around a lot longer than we have, so they learned how to adapt to most situations. Cockroaches also known as simply roaches are very adaptable, especially if the environment is moist and humid. It is one of the reasons roaches will mostly inhibit kitchens and bathrooms and you will find them under cabinets. It is very important not to have any dripping water. Water is something roaches cannot live without, so eliminating faucet drips and leaking pipes will go a long way in roach control. Next is a kitchen hygiene, also is very important in cockroach elimination. Cockroaches will eat anything organic, but they will prefer garbage and food scraps, so do not leave any desirable cockroach food around. Cockroaches are not known to carry disease, but can transfer bacteria such as salmonella, listeria or e coli as they crawl from place to place. Usually roaches active only at night, so if you happened to see them during a day it's a sure sign of roach infestation. Once infestation occurs, most likely premises will need to be treated by a professional pest exterminator. For a free cockroach infestation evaluation call (732)930-1217 or send us your info. and service representative will be happy to assist with any question you may have.

Dry wood termites are of the family Kalotermitidae and live primarily in warmer areas that do not experience very cold temperatures, but with changing climate, and importation of wood products from all over the world, infestation may occur, even though these termites are less common than subterranean termites, which are the more familiar type of termite seen in most places through out the United States. Dry wood termite colonies can cause devastating damage to the structural integrity of walls, roofs and furniture and, if not eradicated can significantly bring down the value of the house. If dry wood termites are suspected, homeowner can initiate a treatment by removing firewood and old lumber away from the structure. Remove wood from a garage area or anywhere near the house where drywood termites can migrate into a structure. In most cases this will solve a major issue with drywood termites infestation, however it's always a good idea to have property evaluated by a professional to make sure there is no hidden drywood termite colony present in the house. Call us for a FREE EVALUATION (732) 930-1217
Carpenter Ant is a pest that if left untreated quickly can become a destructive force. A single colony can grow to up 3000 carpenter ants and create havoc on any wooden structure. Carpenter ants do not actually consume wood, but continuously tunnel though while building and expanding their nests. If left unchecked, they can destroy or seriously damage building's wooden beams and other structural wood. A single fire ant in close proximity to a house meant there is nest somewhere near where the rest of the colony resides. Some of the tell tale signs of carpenter ant presence are the little saw dust piles. These are results of carpenter ant burrowing through the wood. Those tunnels that are literally drilled by insects lead into what's called a gallery, where the nest resided. If gallery cavity is large and located inside a structural beam, that beam can fracture, and depending on the location of the beam, may be a concern of serious structure settlement and all the structural problem arising from that point. To say it bluntly -
carpenter ant is a serious threat
and should be treated as such. Application of topical (i.e spray pesticides) treatment do not work, since pesticides breakdown quickly by a sunlight and washed away by rain. Pest control professional can assess severity of carpenter ant and develop a proper therapy treatment that's safe and effective.
The brown marmorated
stink bug
(BMSB), is not a native bug on a North American continent, It was possibly introduced first to Pennsylvania sometimes in the mid to late 1990's. Since it was first collected in Allentown, PA it has spread to following states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and West Virginia. A stink bug is known by it's family name Pentatomidae is an aggressive agricultural pest in Far East countries of Japan, Korea, China and now poses a serious threat to NJ agriculture and landscaping. Stink bug is mostly a nuisance indoors and will secrete a very unpleasant scent when handled. However indoor infestation usually is not a big problem, since stink bugs do not mate or lay eggs inside a dwelling. It is mostly outdoors and usually on the side of the house where you will notice a large number of stink bugs during a warm season. Stink bugs are very hardy insects and are fully capable to survive a rough winters in New Jersey and may appear even in the winter on some of the warmer days. Until recently there were few options in regard of stink bug extermination, however in the last year new and very effective products became available, which allows pest control professional to deal with stink bug problem more efficiently. We anticipated this result due to the fact that stink bug is a very aggressive agricultural pest.
Adult stink bug are approximately 2/3 inch long and come in s different shades of brown on both the upper and lower body surfaces. They are the typical "shield" shape of other stink bugs, almost as wide as they are long. To differentiate them from other species of stink bugs, you can look for lighter bands on the antennae and darker bands on the membranous, overlapping part at the rear of the front pair of wings. The name "stink bug" refers to the scent glands located on the dorsal surface of the abdomen and the underside of the thorax. This a main defense mechanism against bird predators. Stink bugs lay elliptical shaped eggs of yellow to yellowish red attached together to the underside of the leave in clusters of of up to 30 eggs. Stink bugs go through five nymphal stages
This species of the stink bug have anywhere from 1 to 3 generations in the season if temperatures are warm. Adult stink bugs generally come out mid-May and after mating deposit eggs between May and August. Once hatched, stink bug will go through 5 molting stages and will begin to look for over-winter sites in September and early October.
Damage caused by stink bugs
In its native range, it feeds on a wide variety of host plants. Fruits attacked include apples, peaches, figs, mulberries, citrus fruits and persimmons. This true bug has also been reported on many ornamental plants, weeds, soybeans and beans for human consumption. Feeding on tree fruits such as apple results in a characteristic distortion referred to as "cat facing," that renders the fruit unmarketable as a fresh product.
Stink Bug Indoor Presence
These insects are not known to cause harm to humans, they do not bite people or reproduce inside their homes however homeowners become alarmed when the stink bugs fly noisily and sometimes land on people. If there is a large quantity of insects already entered the house they can be vacuumed, but the bag must be removed right after the cleaning and sealed, otherwise bugs will come out. There will be an unpleasant odor coming out of a vacuum cleaner for some time.
Best way to manage stink bugs In homes
The easiest way to prevent stink bugs from entering your home is to seal possible points of entry. Proper door seals will go a long way in preventing insects from entering in (this applies to a lot of insect pests). Seal all pipes going into a building, repair cracks in the siding and around windows with exterior grade silicone. Repair screens on windows and doors ant this should limit the number of stink bugs that enter the house.
Application of pesticides outside can offer some relief during a major infestation but will not completely eliminate stink bugs, due to natural breakdown process that occurs when pesticides are affected by rain and sunlight. It is recommended that a professional pest control service should be utilized for safe and efficient result. DO NOT use any pesticides to kill stink bugs inside your home. A large number of dead stink bugs may attract a carpet beetle, that will feed on their carcases and then attack wool products, stored goods and other natural products. Insecticides will kill stink bugs that are inside but will not prevent new insects from coming in
A lot of people today are concerned when there is a need for pesticide application and we certainly share those concerns as well, but there are times when pesticides are part of necessary procedures to solve a pest problem.

Wolfe left before the tree was activated. Matusek's car popped and banged, lost a lot of time earlly in the run.
Left Lane: Mike Janis Runs 5.258/94.83, Now #4; Best prior run: 3.911/193.54, Was #4
Right Lane: Raymond Commisso Runs 4.013/189.95, Now #12; Best prior run: 3.989/191.62, Was #12

After worthless cowards do what they did in Boston yesterday, it's easy to have your faith in humanity take a serious hit. Patton Oswalt recognized that, and in the vein of Mr. Rogers' "look for the helpers" quote, Oswalt posted this poignant message on Facebook, telling people to pay attention to the droves of good people like Carlos Arredondo, who ran toward the wreckage to help the victims and even pinched a bleeding man's artery shut to save him from bleeding out. Well done, Carlos, and well said, Patton.

No. 93,3421
STATE OF KANSAS, et al.,
1. Issues raised on appeal but not briefed are deemed abandoned.
2. An inmate's claim under K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 60-1501 must assert the deprivation of a constitutional right or the court is without jurisdiction to consider the claim.
3. K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 45-221(a)(29)(B), which is part of the Kansas Open Records Act, gives a prison inmate access to his or her correctional records only "to the extent otherwise permitted by law." Specific statutes and regulations allow inmates to have access to certain records, but an inmate is not entitled to his or her entire Kansas Department of Corrections master file.
Appeal from Leavenworth District Court; ROBERT J. BEDNAR, judge. Opinion filed May 6, 2005. Affirmed.
Michael G. Highland, of Bonner Springs, for appellant.
Kenneth R. Smith, special assistant attorney general, for appellees.
Before McANANY, P.J., MALONE, J., and KNUDSON, S.J.
McANANY, J.: Tracy Schmidt appeals from the district court's summary denial of his petition for habeas corpus pursuant to K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 60-1501. We affirm.
Schmidt was convicted of a 1986 theft in Cowley County and was placed on probation. In 1989, while on probation, he faced two additional charges. Following guilty pleas to both charges, Schmidt was given sentences that were consecutive to the 1986 sentence. He filed a K.S.A. 60-1507 action to set aside his plea because it was not knowingly and voluntarily made since he thought his 1989 sentences would be concurrent with his sentence for the 1986 crime. The trial court summarily dismissed the 60-1507 action. On appeal, the dismissal was reversed and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
Schmidt is now in the Lansing Correctional Facility (Lansing) serving a sentence imposed for a 2000 conviction in Cowley County. He sought access to his file at Lansing to obtain information to support his remanded 60-1507 action. When Lansing refused to release his file to him, Schmidt filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus under K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 60-1501 in Leavenworth County, seeking relief from the Cowley County sentences, an order requiring Lansing to provide the documentation Schmidt requested, and other relief. Schmidt's claim was eventually reduced to two issues: (1) whether Schmidt had a constitutional right to have erroneous information corrected in his Kansas Department of Corrections (K.D.O.C.) files; and (2) whether Schmidt's due process right was violated by the refusal to grant him access to the file. Schmidt has not briefed the due process issue, so that issue has been abandoned. Goldbarth v. Kansas State Board of Regents, 269 Kan. 881, 884, 9 P.3d 1251 (2000).
The district court summarily dismissed the 60-1501 petition, finding that Schmidt did not raise a constitutional issue and, therefore, the petition failed to state an actionable claim. The court also held that Schmidt's claim that his K.D.O.C. file contained information relevant to his pending 60-1507 action should be directed to the court in Cowley County hearing the 60-1507 action. Schmidt now appeals.
In Anderson v. McKune, 23 Kan. App. 2d 803, 806-07, 937 P.2d 16, rev. denied 262 Kan. 959 (1997), the court stated: "An inmate's claim under K.S.A. 60-1501 must assert the deprivation of a constitutional right or the court is without jurisdiction to consider the claim." We review de novo the court's dismissal of Schmidt's claim for failure to state an actionable claim. In doing so we accept as true the allegations of Schmidt's petition. See Foy v. Taylor, 26 Kan. App. 2d 222, 223, 985 P.2d 1172, rev. denied 268 Kan. 886 (1999). To avoid summary dismissal Schmidt must allege shocking and intolerable conduct or continuing mistreatment of a constitutional stature. See Bankes v. Simmons, 265 Kan. 341, 349, 963 P.2d 412, cert. denied sub nom. Hannigan v. Stansbury, 525 U.S. 1060 (1998).
Schmidt claims he is entitled to his file at Lansing. He relies on K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 45-221(a)(29)(B), a part of the Kansas Open Records Act, which states:
"(a) Except to the extent disclosure is otherwise required by law, a public agency shall not be required to disclose:
. . . .
(29) Correctional records pertaining to an identifiable inmate or release, except that:
. . . .
(B) the ombudsman of corrections, the attorney general, law enforcement agencies, counsel for the inmate to whom the record pertains and any county or district attorney shall have access to correctional records to the extent otherwise permitted by law."
We have unlimited review over the legal question whether this statute grants Schmidt a right to his prison records. See State v. Maass, 275 Kan. 328, 330, 64 P.3d 382 (2003). When a statute is plain and unambiguous, we must give effect to the intention of the legislature as expressed. Williamson v. City of Hays, 275 Kan. 300, 305, 64 P.3d 364 (2003).
Schmidt misreads the statute. The plain language of the statute gives Schmidt access to his correctional records "to the extent otherwise permitted by law." This statute does not grant Schmidt access to his records, it simply does not override any other statute that grants him access to such records.
Is access to these records "otherwise permitted by law"? K.A.R. 10-13-1(a) grants a person the right to a copy of his or her criminal history record information from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Section 05-101(V) of the K.D.O.C.'s Internal Management Policy and Procedure allows inmates to have access to such records. Lansing provided Schmidt with the information required by I.M.P.P. 05-101(V).
K.S.A. 22-4709(a) grants Schmidt and his attorney the right to inspect "criminal history record information." K.S.A. 22-4709(b) allows Schmidt and his attorney to make notes from the records but not copies. K.S.A. 2004 Supp. 22-4701(b) also provides a laundry list of data that does not constitute "criminal history record information." Schmidt does not claim that he asked to inspect this information. Rather, he asks for his entire K.D.O.C. master file. He cites nothing showing such a request is authorized by law.
Schmidt fails to show he is entitled to his file under any applicable statute or policy. He fails to show that he has used the procedures available to him to obtain the information to which he is entitled. Finally, he fails to show that his entitlement to this file is a constitutional right.

In 1886 Delius returned from Florida and enrolled at Leipzig Conservatory for further musical studies. It was there that he was befriended by composer Edvard Grieg. Grieg shared with Delius his deep love of the mountain air and fjords of Norway, touching Delius's deep respect for both the power and beauty of nature.
Delius was a pantheist: He worshipped nature. Occasionally, human drama enters his music, but for much of the time its energy springs from the landscapes, climates and wildlife that he knew and loved: the subtropical everglades of Florida, the green fields and woods of France and England, and the snowy mountains of Norway. His deep love for nature is evident in many of his works, for instance "Over the Hills and Far Away," "Sea Drift," "A Song Before Sunrise", and, of course, "On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring".
Delius never much liked England, the land of his birth. Continuing to follow his own solitary star until the day he died, he never returned to England to live, moving to Paris instead in 1894. This is the one big city that the otherwise country-loving Delius adored -- so much so, in fact, that it inspired him to write the colourful orchestral piece Paris: The Song of a Great City It was here that he met Ravel and Gaugin.
In 1897 Delius was ready for the peace and quiet of the countryside, and decided to settle by a river in the small village of Grez, close to the forest of Fontainbleau, in France. It was there that he met and married German artist Jelka Rosen in 1904. No man ever had a more devoted wife than Delius had in his Jelka. This talented, German-born artist largely sacrificed her own career to nurse him through his last tragic years, when he was paralysed and blind. The strain also ruined Jelka's health, yet she insisted on leaving her hospital bed to be with him when he died.
Delius was blind and parlysed in middle age, the result of syphilis. The first signs of his illness became apparent in 1922. His mind, however, was unaffected, and he completed his last compositions with the help of his devoted assistant, fellow Englishman Eric Fenby. Fenby was a composer himself, and these works are considered to be among the composer's finest. Fenby's book Delius as I Knew Him is considered a classic.
It was yet another Englishman who became Delius's greatest champion. In 1907 Delius met the celebrated conductor Sir Thomas Beecham. Beecham gave the first performance of many of Delius's works, and recorded most of his music. When Delius died on 10 June, 1934 it was Beecham who arranged for him to be buried in a quiet churchyard in Limpsfield, Surrey England.
The music of Frederick Delius hints at various influences: black American folk song and dance; Wagner's rich, shifting chromatic harmonies; Debussy's Impressionism; and the pastoral style of Vaughan Williams and other English composers. Rhapsodic, often passionate, and coloured by a deep melancholy, his music holds a spellbinding poetry and beauty. But Delius's music does not really belong to any school or movement. Nor did Delius, in his turn, inspire any school or movement.
In a broad historical sense, his music belongs to the late romantic period, spanning the end of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century. Beyond that, it belongs very much to a world of its own.

TEHRAN, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Iran announced it was ready to start exporting electricity to India and selling crude oil to the new Egyptian government.
Iranian Energy Minister Majid Namjoo was cited by the Iranian Students' News Agency as saying Iran was ready to help India met its energy requirements.
"All neighboring countries seek Iran's electricity," he said.
He said private companies in India could take steps to cooperate with Iran on renewable and pilot energy projects.
ISNA had reported the government was in talks with the Egyptian government on crude oil sales. Tehran has looked for new customers amid increased sanctions pressure on its energy sector. This week, the government said it delivered a crude oil shipment through private channels.
Full diplomatic ties between Iran and Egypt were severed 30 years ago. Last month, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi handed the presidency of the 120-member Non-Aligned Movement to his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during the organization's meeting in Tehran.
The U.S. and European governments have targeted the Iranian energy sector with sanctions out of concern revenue generated from oil could help fund a nuclear program that Tehran says is for peaceful purposes.

Faierman, Krumholz and Lu Post Wins
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's tennis team was on the brink of an upset over No. 52 Cornell on Saturday, but fell just short of its second Ivy win of the season. Playing at their home courts, the Bulldogs looked to have the advantage at the tail end of singles competition, but a late surge by Cornell allowed the Bid Red to claim a 4-3 victory, avoiding the upset.
The loss puts Yale at No. 6 in the current Ivy League standings. Cornell's win over the Elis was its first of the conference season, and the Big Red sit in seventh place.
The key to Cornell's victory was gaining the upper hand in doubles play. At No. 1 doubles, the No. 49 team of Jason Luu and Quoc Daniel-Nguyen dealt Yale's duo of freshman Tyler Lu and sophomore Martin Svenning an 8-1 defeat. While the Bulldogs appeared to be gaining the upper hand in the No. 2 doubles match, the Big Red managed to secure the point with an 8-5 triumph at No. 3 doubles.
In singles, the resilient Elis started to mount their comeback, and nearly carried it to successful completion. While Cornell picked up wins at No. 2 and No. 5 singles, Yale matched the Big Red point-for-point. Lu led the Bulldogs' efforts with a comfortable 6-2, 6-3 win over Sam Fleck at No. 1 singles. Junior Daniel Faierman and classmate Zachary Krumholz also did their part with straight-set victories at No. 3 and No. 6 singles, respectively. With the overall score tied at three points apiece, the outcome hinged on the result of the match at the No. 4 spot. Senior captain Kyle Dawson won the first set of that match and looked to be in prime position to clinch the upset. However, Cornell's Alex Sidney came back to win the final two sets and upend Dawson 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Yale's next Ancient Eight encounter comes on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. at the Elis' home venue. The Bulldogs will face No. 17 Columbia, a team that is on a 15-match winning streak and has compiled a 17-1 overall season record. The Lions have already defeated Brown, Cornell, No. 40 Dartmouth and No. 31 Harvard so far in Ivy League competition.

Hi guys,
Let me say straight away, this is not the blog post I wanted to make as my first. However, I find myself in an unusual position.
Today, I went to the pub. While there I got talking to a lovely couple with two children about their gorgeous puppy bitch (that fell asleep in my arms). The conversation moved on to my family and to my father's (and my) atheism, my mother career as a nurse and my vast array of siblings. I also mentioned that one of my father's children from his first marriage would not be a very welcome addition to the family as my mother, father and I all hold strong opposition to certain tenets of the JW faith (specifically, refusing blood transfusions and other life-saving for children).
At this point, to my utter surprise, the young lady asserted her standing as a Jehovah's Witness. Though simple questioning, I managed to discover that she is an old earth creationist. We then had a long conversation moving variously from the scientific accuracy of her bible [emphasis hers], biblical genocide, the idea that the earth is the devils since 1914 (new one on me, but hey-ho), and various other things. I, of course stood my ground and argued my point as effectively as I could, but without the advantage of chapter and verse to quote, though I did point her in the direction of certain 'fun' chapters...
(She also told me a charming story about how a book about the meaning of dreams invited evil spirits into her home and then couldn't be burnt [on her mother's instruction] because it wasa book of satan! - if ever there was a story about the power of the human mind to conjure up fantastic delusions...)
Now for the fun part. She wants to continue the conversation on Friday. With her bible in hand and me with chapters and verse to hand, so as to make my point.
Knowing full well that I am unlikely to shake her faith completely (though I suspect some leeway), but hoping to at least point her down the path of actually thinking outside the biblical literacy she may indoctrinate her children into as she was similarly indoctrinated, which passages do you think provide the strongest case for the scientific and atheist position?
Views: 811
I honestly think you are going to waist your time on this one, as I have stated they only read one book, if I think why I became and Atheist and what my stand was when still christian, no way you would have been able to get past what my blind faith told me. With every bible vers you quote I would have one to counter or make my point why I believe. My faith started to shrink when I started reading other books not just one, once I understood where, how, why, what the roots of religion was only then did I change my out look on life. You will not have an impact but only walk away totaly frustrated at the end of the day if you are going to do the bible on bible thing. Something as simple as looking at code of Hammurabi and having to grasp the fact that these laws were not given by God as written in the bible but that they are laws coppied from older cultures and laws, how younger cultures borrow from older, the role that cultural diffusion pay ect, those are things that make one think, the things that predate christianity, the similarities between the biblical god and much oldedr gods makes one understand how the god of the bible came to be. Arguing the bible is like arguing Santa to a 5 year old that truly believe a man comes down the chimney you aint gonna win or convince the child that it is not true.
Sometimes the point of debate is not a victory or a loss, but the debate is the point unto itself. Pointing out errors within a text based on scientific principles or accepted moral and cultural norms is. If nothing else, this debate will encourage thinking. Once you encourage people to think, how long can religion withstand reality?
No framework has been definitively been defined. There is nothing to stop me comparing the myths of ancient peoples to draw parallells.
However, following our initial conversation, I believe that that approach would not garner success at this time. I need to martial the ideals and present in a logical, step by step manner, and my 'in' seems to be the scientific one.
I debate with them on a regular basis. There is one argument that you are almost guaranteed to hear. The JW's love it and it regards the "scientific biblical truth" that the bible (Isaiah) knew the Earth was round. They like to show their intelligence by explaining the difference between the Hebrew words "duwr" for round and "chuwg" for a sphere as if this proves it. Allow them to bring up this amazing piece of evidence and then casually refer to this here.
Often when they are on your door step they will point out your car and ask if you had never seen a car (or wristwatch) before that it would be self-evident that it was intelligently designed. So I explain to them that while it has the appearance of I.D. it is actually a process of gradual evolution.
I continue along the lines of how it all began when man "invented" the wheel, then put two of them on then end of a log to make a basic cart. This evolved in 4 wheels carts which later became horse drawn and so on up until the generic 4 wheeled stagecoach. With the invention of steam power and eventually the petrol engine a new species emerged – the first car. We can see the comparison between the very first models and stagecoaches where the driver sat upfront.
Over the 20th century the car evolved and each generation had "mutations" which were deemed useful (ABS) to the models survival and therefore got selected into the blueprint (DNA) for future models. So even today while it would appear intelligently designed to someone who had never seen one before anyone who understood Evolution would know that the modern car was evolved from earlier species and all species of cars bear the same genetic makeup.
In fact you could say the only differences between models are the mutations that each company selects. It does not matter if they don't believe it is not a process of evolution for it is the truth and the truth does not care what anyone thinks.
Before they can answer invite them in for coffee and do not let them out for at least 2 hours. I always look so disappointed when they ask to leave.
A word of warning - remember to keep the debatefocused on the nature of belief. Ask what objective evidence they have for their beliefs apart from the bible. DO NOT try to teach them any science or your head might explode. Get them to sign this chart below first :-)…Enjoy.
I just find their outlook pessimistic. So it's the end of the world because everyone except JWs are sinful - then instead of destroying the world, God ought to concentrate on trying to save people from being sinful. He gives up on us pretty quick. A very defeatist God. After that the guy thanked me and walked away.
Obviously, the texts stolen by the xians from the jews and those 27 "books" added by the council of Nicaea in 325 CE, combined into the standard xian canon, are in no way 'holy' nor did some god dictate them. Faith means to trust human-all-too-human hearsay as the 'word' of some alleged divinity.
There is nothing to debate (or discuss) -- there is no metaphysical meaning to be extracted, there is no moral guidance beyond primitive male supremacy, there is no history that has not been turned into credulous mythology. The bible is recruiting propaganda.
A life focused on xian ideology is a life wasted. That's just a brute fact --

In a significant development, chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, after a representation by Telangana ministers, has agreed to convene a joint meeting of Telangana and Seemandhra ministers at his camp office here on Wednesday to discuss the state bifurcation issue.
According to sources, the chief minister promised Telangana ministers that he would chair the meeting and allow the ministers to air their views on sharing of river waters, revenue, energy, employment and access to higher education. When the Telangana ministers told him of their decision to organise a public meeting in Hyderabad, he did not object to it.
After a meeting at the Congress Legislature Party office, the Telangana ministers called on the chief minister at his camp office and requested him to ensure that the party's T-decision is implemented.
The chief minister, according to information and public relations minister DK Aruna, said he was neither a supporter of Samaikyandhra nor an opponent to Telangana and that he was open to suggestions.
At the CLP, Telangana Congress leaders proposed to organise a massive public meeting in Hyderabad soon, apparently to take wind out of the sails of Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC) which has announced a public meeting on Sept 30.
According to sources, the Telangana Congress leaders were worried over their Seemandhra counterparts having their way with regard to the status of Hyderabad. To stall this, the Telangana leaders want to make efforts to prevent the Centre acceding to the demand of Seemandhra leaders to convert Hyderabad into a Union Territory.
According to DK Aruna, a wide-ranging meeting has been called on Sept 15 in Hyderabad with the participation of not only ministers, but also MLAs, MLCs, DCC presidents and others from the Telangana region to decide on the date and venue of the public meeting.
The Telangana leaders want resolutions passed at district and mandal level meetings of the party for the implementation of the CWC decision, which said Hyderabad would remain the joint capital for the two states for 10 years. The Telangana ministers too want to meet exclusively to pass a resolution for the implementation of the CWC decision without any amendments.
The meeting, attended by ministers K Jana Reddy, DK ARuna, J Gita Reddy and P Sudharshan Reddy, and several MPs and MLAs, expressed unhappiness over the chief minister championing the cause of Samiakyandhra and the support extended by the government to the APNGOs public meeting in Hyderabad recently.

(HONG KONG) Dragonair today began an aviation career workshop – attended by more than 200 young people - as part of the Dragonair Youth Aviation Academy programme, a key corporate social responsibility initiative of the airline.
This two-day workshop has been specifically designed to educate youngsters who have shown an interest in an aviation-related career, giving them exposure to a broad cross-section of aviation careers available in Hong Kong, guiding them in their career search and helping to improve their personal skills. The workshop is a key element in the airline's commitment to youth education, providing a valuable opportunity to pass on industry knowledge to the next generation.
On hand at the workshop were an array of aviation professionals including pilots, air traffic control experts and aviation engineers, all of whom volunteered their time to help the students in their career planning. The workshop itself covered a wide range of areas including the requirements and duties of different jobs, interview skills and information on the working life in various positions. The aim is to give participants a better understanding of the aviation industry and help them identify their own area of interest.
Many students found the workshop both interesting and useful as they gained insights into the work and lifestyle of different aviation careers.
Participant Shan from University of Hong Kong said: "I decided to become a pilot five years ago and I have been devoted in self improvement including gaining flying experience and taking various aviation courses since then. What is special about this workshop is that we were provided with a precious opportunity to interact directly with veteran pilots."
John Ng who is interested to join the air traffic control sector said: "I joined this workshop to broaden my exposure to various career opportunities within the industry, especially air traffic control. There is no similar workshop in the market. I am glad to be one of the participants here today."
Dragonair Captain Marcus De Santis, the coordinator of the 2-day workshop, said: "By getting an in-depth understanding of aviation careers, including the job requirements and career progression in different positions, the students get a clearer idea of what is expected of them right from the start and it will certainly help in developing their long-term career goals. The aviation industry has given me a great deal and I am now more than happy to give back to the community. It was very rewarding to receive sincere and honest thanks from those who participated in the workshop."
The Dragonair Youth Aviation Academy was established in 2011 with the objective of inspiring Hong Kong's young people to learn about the exciting world of aviation and to consider pursuing a career in the industry. The youth education programmes are supported by industry partners and stakeholders. The Dragonair Aviation Certificate Programme, a mentorship scheme co-organised by the Hong Kong Air Cadet Corps, also comes under the umbrella of the Aviation Academy.
Dragonair, an affiliate member of oneworld, is a Hong Kong-based airline operating a fleet of 41 passenger aircraft and serving 47 regional destinations, including 22 cities in Mainland China. Dragonair has been recognised for its product and service quality, and has been named "Best Regional Airline" at the TTG Travel Awards for four consecutive years since 2010, and voted "World's Best Regional Airline" in the annual Skytrax World Airline Awards™ in 2010, 2011 and 2013. Dragonair is part of the Cathay Pacific Group, providing seamless connectivity for passengers to more than 180 cities around the globe.

What do you guys think of Scott Adams' theory that the Universe might be made of recursions, created by observation?
I find it fascinating but have no strong opinion yet if it makes sense.
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Although that particular blog is mostly philosophy, there are some ideas which are scientifically relevant in there. However he, as many other people who are not very deeply interested in physics, is making a mistake of trying to make analogies to classical world while examining the microcosmos, like questioning what an elementary particle is made of. It, of course, sounds absurd when considered from a macro point of view, however the particles in question have such sophisticated behavior that they are almost virtual.
To inspect what a certain particle like electron is made of can be a bit out of reach for humanity at the moment, and possibly in the near future. As far as our observations go, electron is not made out of anything but itself, but string theory proposes that it is actually made of tiny strings of energy, vibrating at certain frequencies and properties to create different forms of particles.
To give a very confusing example, what exactly is an electron made of? Well, an electron orbiting an atom is made of probability waves. Yep, not electromagnetic, not sound, not seismic, but these are very real probability waves.
Coming to your main question, I think this is much more a philosophy than science as it has no scientific basis and no provability in the foreseeable future. Most importantly, it does not address to any phenomena we see around us. Accepting the existence of such a theory would be a bit hypocritical as we do not question either existence or non-existence of God in science since "God" is not a necessary fact to question while observing the universe.

I'm writing this as I sit in contented glow on my nice warm couch, gazing upon the red glint of my new vaccuum cleaner. It's handle is snapped, wrapped in layers of duct tape and masking tape, as it to hold on by a single thread that last hope, and even that didn't save it from the dumpster in which I found it. It sits next to my movies now, it's permanent home, where it will clean my couches in peace.
This is but one of the joys I discovered tonight, during a round of Surprise Midnight Dumpster Diving. This is what I've come to name the odd event that happened to me. After bicycling home at 10:00pm, in 19 degrees farenheit, from my six hour shift (which I took in four inch heels, take that.), I had found myself in front of dumpster diving youtube videos. I honestly have no idea how I got there, maybe from a beauty tutorial, who knows. But the important thing is the next string of thought that entered my mind.
"I have friends who dumpster dive." followed by "I know the Sally's Beauty supply is closed right now." quickly tucking into "I should text them and see if sometime this week we can go dumpster diving at Sally's Beauty."
Their reply was a little unexpected. "Do you want to go tonight?" Well, my next shift isn't until 2pm tomorrow, so… WHY NOT.
So me and my friends, a married couple who have fallen on hard times recently, head out in the (rapidly falling) chill, to rifle through companies dumpsters in hopes of finding good things. I didn't find that makeup I had hoped for, but I did find a nice milk crate, a few generous shoe boxes, of which my plants will be thankful for, they could use a boost towards the sun, and that lovely vaccuum.
Now all of this would be just another fun night on the town, had it not been for a conversation I found myself having. You see, recently, I've been suffering from a feeling of expiration. I've read somewhere that a woman is at her peak beauty at 25 years old. And after that, well? It all falls downhill. This has plagued me, tormented me, for quite a while. I don't know why. I know I'm intelligent, and I know that I have so many more things to offer the world than my pretty face, but still! It really bugged me!
And while talking with my friends, they helped me realise this one, very, very important fact.
I am not milk, which sours on some predetermined date.
I am wine, which grows more rich and flavorful with every passing moment.

Polar circles, tropical rainforests, wide savannahs, scorching deserts, glacier-covered mountains and solitary islands. Taking a last spin around Sebastião Salgado's Genesis exhibition in our Waterhouse Gallery I realised that were still so many images that I missed on my other visits. And just how amazing it is that this man has actually been to all these incredible places.
It must have been awesome to witness one of the Yali people perched on this bending tree in West Papua's misty mountains. Or be entertained at the Papua New Guinea Singing Festival by this intense-looking performer (below). Just imagine the thrill of coming across the cathedral-like iceberg in the Antarctic Peninsula, and being splashed by the southern right whale in Argentina's Valdes Peninsula. Unforgettable experiences mastered into unforgettable pictures.
It took Salgado eight years to produce his ambitious 'visual tribute to our fragile planet'. The exhibition gallery bustles with the life and landscapes that he has captured so passionately and powerfully through the medium of black and white photography. There are over two hundred photographs - in all shapes and sizes - to ponder over and just tomorrow and Sunday 8 September left to do it here at the Museum!
If you miss the exhibition at the Museum you can take solace through buying the book online. Or check Salgado's own Facebook Page for news of where the exhibition is travelling on to - more international venues are rumoured.
But in another eight years will some of the landscapes and communities he captures still be the same? If you want to know more about endangered species and their habitats in our world it's also the last weekend to see our Extinction exhibition. You can get a friend into Extinction for free when you buy a ticket for the Salgado exhibition with our 2 for 1 offer.
Hopefully there won't be much of a wait for more wildlife photography at the Museum because Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2013 opens to the public on Friday 18 October.

It addresses the processes and ongoing efforts to coordinate and effectively transition from the Collaborative Staging v2 system to use of the AJCC staging standard with related biomarkers and prognostic factors. This is the second edition in the series of communication updates. Shortly after the decision was made to transition from Collaborative Stage, a CS Transition Group was formed as an information sharing and planning forum. This group brings together the four data collection agencies/organizations (Statistics Canada/Canadian Council of Cancer Registries, CDC/NPCR, NCI/SEER and CoC), the agency responsible for staging rules (AJCC), the cancer surveillance umbrella organization (NAACCR) and the organization representing cancer registry professionals (NCRA). The CS Transition Group provides a collaborative opportunity to identify the issues involved in the transition and to share the tasks involved in developing best practices for both the overall surveillance community and the individual agencies/organizations in addressing this change.

This salt and pepper set was given to our parents for a wedding present. (I do not know who the giver was. ) While they were small and required frequent refilling, the pretty blue glass earned a place of honor in the white cupboard above the refrigerator. They were used on special occasions and whenever we could talk Mother into letting us use them for a tea party.
Does anyone know any more about them?

I just remember thinking how pretty and small they were. Did we sometimes use them when we had corn on the cob? Fun stuff.

Help me out here, but wsn't it because they were so dainty that we kids came up with an idea for a present for Daddy that would be more to his size for a salt shaker and got him the big white one - was it for his birthday or Father's day? Anyway didn't it become standard equipment from then on?

In sports, everyone is a winner-some people just win better than others. Like John Daly's technicolor pants party explosion which added some needed zing to an otherwise boring British Open.
Oosthuizen! That's a human name, and the name of your winner. All due respect to Louis Oosthuizen, as there's nothing more charming than first time winners ("I woke up this morning and I looked at it, and I immediately grabbed the phone and texted Chubby Chandler, my agent, saying, 'I've got this funny old jug next to my bed," he said today), but we're going to need a bigger name atop the leaderboard if that name's going to be at the top without interruption from the sixth hole on Friday.
Tiger Woods? His new putter lasted all of three rounds, before he returned to his original. At least that's one dalliance that didn't cost him a committed relationship, and a $100 million settlement.
There were no Americans within ten shots of the lead, and even the foreigners we liked couldn't get it done: after a week of hearing just how hot Justin Rose had been, he misses the cut.
So, altogether a boring British open. Thankfully there's one man we can always count on for a good time. John Daly showed up at the Royal and Ancient possibly still drunk, with his Hooters waitress girlfriend, ready for a party. And, surprisingly enough, ready to golf.
Daly fired a 66 on Thursday. While he couldn't replicate it, it's those flashes of brilliance which keep us coming back (and keep him coming back, thanks to sponsors' exemptions). With his cartoonish antics the past few years, it's easy to forget just how good a golfer he can be when the stars align.
Time and lifestyle make it unlikely they'll ever align four days in a row for Daly, but that's not the point. He may never win again, but at least he's fun to watch try.

Story highlights
- Start the new year with some tools and trends that could make life easier
- Everpurse is a handbag with a built-in receiver and battery to charge your phone on the go
- Facedeals uses facial recognition to send customized deals to your smartphone
Nothing kills a productive day like a dead cell phone battery. Lucky for us, that's what inspired frustrated social worker Liz Salcedo to create Everpurse. The inventive solution allows you to charge your mobile device simply by placing it inside your handbag.
Salcedo and her husband/business partner designed a bag with a built-in pocket that automatically connects to the charger via gravity. Using the same wireless technology as some Nokia products, each bag is equipped with a receiver and battery inside its lining, pulling off a crafty nontechnical look.
The couple took their prototype to the crowd funding website Kickstarter.com, where they found more than 900 backers and raised over $150,000 in support of their project. The future of wireless charging not only looks promising, but stylish as well!
When you hear the words "facial recognition technology," do they creep you out? A Tennessee-based ad agency called Redpepperland thinks that using the technology to give shoppers customized in-store deals may get them past their apprehension.
The concept, called "Facedeals," is an automated check-in system that uses passive facial recognition to send customized in-store deals right to your smart phone. Here's how it works: A Facedeals camera installed at a store entrance scans and recognizes your face as you walk in the door. Don't worry if you don't like the idea -- you have to opt in to participate by creating an account through their Facebook profile.
Once you're checked in, the types of deals you are offered depends on your history of Facebook likes. Although the project is not yet directly affiliated with Facebook, the idea is to get businesses to realize that Facebook check-ins are a powerful tool to provide discounts to loyal customers.
Another inventive use of facial recognition comes from a new service called Plum Perfect, which offers makeup palette suggestions based on a photo of your face.
It looks like we finally have a real-life magic carpet -- only it won't fly you to your favorite vacation destination.
Researchers at the University of Manchester in the UK have designed a "smart carpet" that can tell when a person has fallen. Sensors embedded in the carpet allow it to detect and map walking patterns in real time by acting as a pressure map. Once the signals are recorded by computer, the carpet can also sense any deterioration in walking behavior. If this occurs, it analyzes the force of a fall against a footstep and can be rigged to call for help.
Right now, the goal is to implement smart carpets in care homes and hospitals as a safety measure to decrease the number of emergency admissions due to falls for the 65+ age group.
We've all done it before: You're running late, grab everything you can remember and run out the door trying to beat the clock. It's not until you've almost reached your destination that the nagging "Did-I-lock-the-door?" question rears its head.
Lockitron is offering a solution to this common worry by turning your smartphone into a house key. What makes Lockitron different from other "digital house key" apps like Unikey is that it is installed onto existing deadbolts and connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi, which allows you to access it from anywhere.
The device is powered by AA batteries and runs Bluetooth or NFC (Near Field Communication) technology, depending on which device you use. "Knock sensors" can even be installed to send you a notification when someone is at the door.
If you're looking to add a little pizzazz to your household with some wall décor, this one is definitely an eye catcher.
Wallbrights combines simple wall decals with LED lights that are remotely controlled by -- what else? -- a mobile app. The decals, which come in both hexagons and lines, are equipped with an adhesive backing so you can change the pattern and stick them just about anywhere in your home.
Using a smartphone app, you can not only turn the lights off and on, but also control the color scheme. So whether you are looking for colors that suit your mood or just add style to your walls, this lighting innovation is sure to spark conversation.

Customer Reviews
flynnius5 months agoErik Partida Brito (of Hansen's internet sales department) represented one of the four dealerships I contacted, and he was extraordinarily patient, answering my every email (and there were many) warmly, respectfully, quickly and in detail. I'd recommend him highly to someone in the market for a lease as we were. He was certainly willing to dicker; as he grew to understand our situation, he adjusted his pricing strategy accordingly. Ultimately we did not purchase from him, but that was nothing to do with him, but rather external circumstances. I will definitely consult him in the future, when we are looking for another vehicle. And I would recommend him to anyone who asked.
Kalia Mussetter1 year agoMy salesman, Kevin, and his Manager, Wes, went to enormous lengths to finance my new Honda Fit. I had some solid strengths in my overall financial profile, and some challenges: they made it work. Everyone I dealt with there was trustworthy, kept their word at every stage of the process, and was also authentically kind, friendly and polite---which is actually RARE in the car industry, and goes a LONG way in facilitating a purchase process. I had already shopped around at numerous other dealerships when I landed at Hansel Honda and had not found these qualities in any other setting. Hansel Honda folks were unique in their consistent level of great service. I have already sent friends and colleagues there, and will continue to do so. And I LOVE my Honda Fit!! It is perfect for all aspects of my life...dependable, speedy, great gas mileage (45+ highway; 39 in town), really cute/sharp, and SO spacious on the inside! This was just a great all around experience and outcome for which I am extremely grateful.
Martie1 year agoVery happy with the team that cared for me, and I was a high maintenance customer. Buying a car is a trying experience, and I didn't know what I wanted, and was considering weather to buy a Honda, Toyota or Kia. Atilio was very positive and enthusiastic with no pressure. I test drove several vehicles in the span of a week, and when I decided to buy a Civic, Christian was very helpful in choosing the right one for me. And then there was Marci in finance, by the time I got to her office I was tired and hungry. She was delightful; funny, informative, and she had snacks! They call her Mamma Marcie because she takes such good care of the staff and her customers, I highly recomend her for any customer care position. I feel that I have the right car, the right deal, and it was a pleasurable experience overall.
Tanderson2 years agoi would definitely recommend Hansel Honda in Petaluma to my friends and family. I brought my son into buy a new car and we were treated with the best customer service by both Marci and the finance manager. They were able to answer all of our questions that we had and they took the time to explain the answers thoroughly to us They had a great selection of cars there to choose from and Marci was able to explain the differences within the models. Amy marsili and Tyler anderson
Justin Tilson2 years agoI'm not one for the whole car buying process. It's long, tedious & as a former sales person, I find myself recognizing little cues & tactics sales people use to achieve their objective (which i'm not mad at, just kinda jaded to the whole thing in general). In addition, my last experience with buying a car was less than stellar & left me with a car that as much as I loved, gave me a whole lot more problems than I wanted. All that said, this was pretty nice. I saw the car online & sent a request to the dealer to see if it was still available & my guy, Manny V. got back to me the next morning to set up a time to check it out. When we got there Manny answered our questions, & worked with us to get us a pretty good deal on my new (used) car. He was even able to take my old beloved off my hands too. It was a Saturday, so while there was a lot of hustle & bustle we never felt like we weren't cared for or paid attention to. If my specific tastes allow, I just might come back for the next one.
corbinjonathan292 years agoI had such a pleasant experience at Honda! Manny was great, he took a lot of time with me and made sure he was able to find a payment that would work best for me and he even let me use his computer to buy my new insurance for my car. So glad I chose to use Manny Valdez at Honda. Thank you.
Alexncharle2 years agoCame in a week ago just window shopping Andrew answered our questions took the time to help ueven though we weren't buying. Was so impressed when we decided to buy we came back to Handel Honda and asked for Andrew
K, jt2 years agoManny was excellent from the first email to the last handshake. He was transparent from the beginning and worked to answer all our questions and make the deal happen.
Cmarshall2 years agoThe team at Handel Honda is always welcoming and helpful. Everyone is nice and respectful as well. The customer service I received at Handel was outstanding. They never make you feel like you are an inconvenience, in fact it's the opposite. Great dealership all around.
sngaophasy2 years agoEveryone at Hansel Honda was so knowledge and made it a very easy finding the perfect match. Andrew Motil was the best salesman you could ask for if you are looking for a new car. He stayed in constant contact with me while I was searching for what I was looking for. He really took the time to sort through all the cars on the lot to make sure that all my needs and wants were met. He answered every single question I had along the way and was so patient and kind. So glad he was able to find the car I was looking for at exactly the right price. Such great service! I know I will be back to see him again for my next purchase!
Daniel Medina1 year agoIt was a really nice experience. They really helped me and my wife out to leave with our new car they treated us well and I will recommend my family and friends to go and buy at car from them
Justin2 years agoMy last two trips to buy a car were at small dealers, with the last one ending up with me buying a car that ended up being more of a headache than I was truly willing to deal with. Coming to a reputable large dealership, I was a bit apprehensive the staff may be a bit pushy or wouldn't really be able to make me feel like they cared, but I was pleasantly surprised. I sent a request for more info on a car on a Friday night & Manny got back to me the next morning to make an appointment for me to come by & take a look. He answered all my questions, got all my needs taken care of & even got me a better deal on my financing & took my old car. I also can rest easy knowing I can come back if there are any issues so I will definitely be keeping them in mind when it comes time for me or any of my friends to get a car.

Sarah H2 years agoEddy was so wonderful with helping me find the right car. I went in thinking I could only get a used car, he gave me options to a brand new Accord, as well as the used. I couldn't believe the new car was an option, which I am now the proud owner of. He was understanding of my time and budget. He even let my daughter "help" him when I brought her along. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience with Eddy Godinez and his management team. Two thumbs way up for Honda!!
Appreciator of good service.3 years agoHaving previously worked for a car dealership, my car-buying scrutiny comes from experience. When I purchased my Honda FIT from Hansel Honda, I was extremely pleased with their service. Kevin was my sales person and was wonderful! He is very knowledgeable about both the Honda brand and automobiles in general. Even though it was raining, he made a few trips outside to get vehicles of my interest. The test drive covered things the average person would not think to test. The Sales Manager made sure I got a great deal and worked though some difficulties with ease. The Finance Mgr, was full of joy and made things seamless. Their follow-up has been thorough and pleasant. Overall, I felt very comfortable and knew I was getting honest, direct service. I give very high recommendation to Kevin Miller and Hansel Honda. Though this is a dealership review, not vehicle, I want to say I LOVE the Honda FIT! Great space, configurations and gas mileage.
Stephanie Holt4 years agoI am a very hard to please car buyer, especially when I have a vision in mind of what I want and how much I want to spend. Scott said when I first sat down, "After this, you wont be buying cars from anyone else". He and Jasmine provided such great customer service and made the process really easy, so I have to admit, he was right!
Caitlyn and Annelie4 years agoScott has been great throughout the entire buying process of our new vehicle. He made us feel comfortable and ensured that the car shopping experience was a good one. Unlike many salesmen, Scott can be easily be trusted and we would strongly recommend him to any one of our family members or close family friends. He's great at what he does!
Zack4 years agoThe sales staff (Scott Cohen) did a very good job for helping us to select car that we would like. He went through every details with us and ensured that we got all the facts about the car. The overall buying experience with Scott is the best one among our other previous experience.
Tjiska Van Wyk4 years agoScot Cohen is an extraordinary salesman. He is honest, patient and a good listener. He convinced me throughout the process that he was interested in making a deal that was in my best interest and there was no pressure at any time to make a decision about a purchase of the car in the immediate. His ability to educate actually broadened my perspective and I feel I am coming away with a better deal than what I had hoped or anticipated. For example, I had come in to check out 2015 Honda Accords and he was the one who introduced me to previously leased cars at a substantial discount! As it was, I upgraded my initial selection; received an exceptional deal. Most importantly, purchasing the car was fun! It was a transparent conversation like you would have with a friend who has your best interests at heart. The complete opposite of the treatment I received at Manley! Very classy, sophisticated operation. I am leaving impressed and excited to have the "right" car for the right price!!
evieb-zgirl4 years agoI was ready to trade in my beloved Z4 for something newer, a little more practical, but still wanted style and street cred. Salesman Scott Cohen and Hansel Honda guided me on my journey to find the perfect new car for me. He really listened to what I was saying, shopped all over the Hansel family of dealers with me and even test parked a car in my garage to see if it fit! So happy to be driving out of the lot with a gently used Mercedes C Class sport. Authentic, real, understanding and super knowledgeable about many brands, is how I would sum up Scott. Excellent experience and highly recommended!!!!!!
