    Steering and braking "knocking" sound

    Background info: 2004 Acura TSX, auto, 151k miles, original owner, well taken care of. Within the last month, I've noticed a knocking sound/feeling while turning the steering wheel and braking at low speeds. Anyone have any idea what this is? What am I looking at in terms of repair $? I...

    easy to say- As a parent (daughter will be 2 years old in 2 months), I can't imagine going anywhere without her. Went to Mexico last year with her. Going on Alaskan cruise next month with her.

    Relaxing vacation ideas w/ baby?

    Can not understand how parents can go on vacation without their children. We went to Mexico with our 1yr old last year- it was awesome. Why would I want to deprive my kid of a vacation/change of scenery?

    Shoprunner Deal: Anyone seen this?

    Had mine extended for a year; I rarely use it though. There are no merchants that I regularly order things from. Occasionally, I would order something from GNC, however I recently heard that GNC has cut ties with Shoprunner.

    When I bought my new 2008 Honda CRV at the dealership, they wouldn't budge on the price either.

    YASECT: police brutally pummel man in synagogue

    so what's issue here? From what I saw in the video, the guy forcefully resisted. If you don't want to get jacked up by police officers, don't resist. Fight your battle in court if you don't feel in the wrong. Good job to those officers.

    Going for a degree...online vs university

    Online colleges and Associates degrees are useless IMO. If I came across a resume with one of these one it, I would immediately pass before continuing through the candidate's resume.

    Getting into camping; need a tent!

    Spending a little extra money on a good/quality tent is a smart idea. I would suggest checking out REI.com as they have many store-brand tents in different sizes. Their tents are nicely made as well. If there's a store near you, go and check it out in person. Their staff is always friendly...

    2012 Hyundai Genesis 4.6L or 2013 Avalon or 2013 Lexus ES350

    Genesis hands down. More bang for the buck. The Avalon and ES have always seemed boring to me (camry-like).

    Unarmed black 17 year old shot by Neighborhood watch captain in gated community...

    Apparently, Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, want's to trademark his name and the phrases people are using (i.e. "I am Trayvon", etc.) http://now.msn.com/now/0326-trayvon-martin-trademark.aspx Just sit back and watch it all unfold....

    Unarmed black 17 year old shot by Neighborhood watch captain in gated community...

    You're right; my point is that everyone was quick to attack Zimmerman and paint the picture of a helpless stand-up kid in Trayvon.

    Law firm fires 14 employees for wearing orange shirts

    this; there's got to be more to the story than this. Management (especially at a law firm) would not blatantly do something this stupid without a justifiable reason. Reports/News love to take events like this, omit key details, and twist the story into a something else.

    Although the show was fake, I still enjoyed watching it much more than Survivor Man. Bear Grylls had a more likable on screen personality.

    Woman leaves daughter at Chuck E Cheese and realizes it the next morning. Why...?

    Funny, because just this morning I heard a Chuck E Cheese radio ad that was a bit strange. They were advertising a new security measure they have where parents and their children receive some sort of stamp upon entering, and neither the parents or the kids can leave without each other...

    Should Peyton Manning retire?

    Yes, retire as one of the greatest QB's of all time. He has nothing left to prove and he has a ring. Otherwise, he'll end up on the Redskins and his legacy will be tarnished.

    Time for a new car....

    Get the TSX; you wont regret it. We have a 2004 TSX, purchased new. It has 127k miles on it now, and it hasn't had one problem to date. It'll probably last another 100k. There's not much out there that can compare in terms of price, luxury, fun-to-drive factor, and reliability.

    2012 Hyundai Azera

    It starts at $32k? Doesn't the Genesis sedan start at $33k? Why would someone purchase an Azera over the Genesis (other than RWD vs FWD platform)?

    Nike Fuelband - anyone order one?

    No real reviews on it yet as it was just released yesterday. It tracks calories, steps, and "nike fuel" which is their measurement for activity. You set a goal and try to meet it throughout the day. It lets you know how close you are, etc. It's supposed to be a motivational tool to be more...
