2011 Toyota Camry Review

2010 Toyota Camry Review

Last year’s 2.4-liter four-banger is out in favor of a slightly-larger 2.5-liter unit. As expected, the power increase isn’t enormous, with a total output of 169hp and 167 ft-lbs of torque. Still, that’s up from seven percent from 158hp and 161 ft-lbs, and considering the last engine did a fine job, this one just makes acceleration a little less laborious.

Both LE and XLE models get the new 169-horse 2.5, while SE models get a slightly more potent version with 179hp and 171 ft-lbs.

As mentioned, helping out in the acceleration department is a six-speed automatic transmission, meaning that every Camry now comes with six cogs, rather than five.

The addition of an extra gear also allows for improved fuel savings with the 2010 Camry rating 22 mpg city, 32 mpg highway for an average of 26 mpg with the automatic transmission. Six-speed manuals, available on the base, LE and SE get one notch better on the highway. Overall, fuel-economy is improved by one tick in each category over the ’09 model, which translates to a 3.8 percent increase

NEW GRILLE TAKES CUES FROM VENZA

A few mild design changes for the 2010 Camry continue to differentiate the car from its more traditionally-styled predecessors. Most noticeable is the redesigned front grille, which takes its inspiration from the new Venza.

Other changes also continue to up the aggressive factor for the family sedan, like bigger headlights and a larger center air intake. New wheel and hubcap designs as well as new taillights are also part of the mid-cycle update and overall the changes help to give the Camry some character.

NEW GAUGES DO LITTLE TO SPICE-UP INTERIOR

The cabin of the Camry stays mostly unchanged for 2010, with the exception being the gauges. Gone at the cheap drawn-on dials in favor of some cool blue sweepers that have a high-tech digital look to them.

We like the simple and elegant center stack but unfortunately the rest of the interior is still standard Camry. That’s fine if you opt for a trim level with leather, but the standard fabric really is blaze and cheapens the feel of the car.

Still, for a starting price of just $19,395, the cabin is acceptable and you actually get quite a nice list of standard features. They include power locks and windows with auto up/down, cruise control, A/C, a tilt and telescopic steering wheel, redundant audio controls on the steering wheel, two 12V power outlets and a six-speaker AM/FM/CD player with satellite radio capability, MP3/WMA playback and an auxiliary jack.

LE models, like our tester, include am eight-way power driver’s seat and remote keyless entry.

A slightly nicer seat fabric is available on the SE trim level; which also includes a leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter. XLE models get dual-zone automatic climate control with rear vents, Bluetooth compatibility, faux wood trim, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a four-way power passenger seat. XLE V6 models come standard with leather

THE DRIVE

Whether out on the highway or around town, the Camry’s new engine and transmission make for an improved package. The combination of more power with a more relaxed open road feel almost make a convincing argument for doing away with the V6 altogether.

We say almost because the power gap between the two engines is still significant. The new 2.5-liter four-cylinder can’t hold a candle to the 268hp, 3.5-liter V6, but you have to ask yourself if you really need those extra 99 ponies. Most Camry buyers don’t seem to think they do, as the four-cylinder is easily the volume seller. And now with an added 11 horsepower it’s sure to create more than a few converts.

THE VERDICT

The 2010 Camry is easily an improved package over the ’09 model, due mostly to the new engine/transmission combo. The ‘more power, less fuel’ strategy is a bonus for four-cylinder buyers and will also help Toyota lower its average fleet emissions, which in turn is good for mother earth. And while green peace activists might not approve of the added power, they can’t object to the fact that the 4-cylinder just became a more attractive option to traditional V6 buyers.

Generally speaking, the Camry continues to be a strong player with excellent safety, reliability and a spacious interior. Unfortunately while the 2010 model looks more engaging, it isn’t any more exciting from behind the wheel.

The only other down side is that along with the increase in power and fuel-economy there also comes a higher price. But don’t worry; the change is marginal, with the individual trim-levels listing at $281 over last year’s models.

That means a base Camry starts at $20,445 with an automatic transmission, while the LE model (like our tester) comes in at $21,900.

business hamburger in japan

business hamburger in japan
Whenever I make Japanese Hamburger Steak for dinner my friends are always intrigued.  I know what they’re thinking, Japanese hamburger steak, what is that?  Doesn’t sound very Japanese does it?  I know I know, most people associate hamburgers with the typical American hamburger on a bun but Japanese hamburger steak is a little different.  First of all it’s not on a bun and second it’s usually served with rice on the side and probably closer to what we call meatloaf.



In Japan, Hamburger Steak is a very popular dinnertime dish, a favorite bento ingredient and is loved by both kids and adults.  You can go into any Yoshoku (Japanese style Western food) restaurant and it will always be on the menu.  There are so many variations of Hamburger Steak in Japan with sauces like teriyaki or demi-glacé, and toppings, such as a fried egg, sautéed mushrooms or grated daikon and shiso.  You can get very creative and everyone has their favorite way to enjoy it.



I make a few different versions of Hamburger Steak at home but I tend to always go back to this recipe.  I’ve been playing around with different sauces lately and this one seems to be my hubby’s favorite and I can make it with ingredients I usually have on hand.  I start with a red wine reduction then I add soy sauce, ketchup and a little butter and it can be made in about fifteen minutes, not complicated at all.  If you’re short on time you can just drizzle a little soy sauce, store bought teriyaki sauce or put some ketchup on the side (a kid favorite) and call it a day.  Any way you serve it, I’m sure it will become a dinnertime favorite
To make Hamburger Steaks, in a small bowl combine panko and milk, mix to soften, set aside until needed.  In a frying pan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted.  Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.  Remove from the heat and let cool completely.


In a large bowl, combine the beef, panko mixture, cooled onion, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg.  Using your hands, mix to distribute all ingredients evenly.  Divide the meat mixture into two large or four small equal portions.  Form each portion into a patty about 1 1/2 inches thick.
In a frying pan large enough to accommodate the patties without crowding, heat the oil over medium high heat.  When the oil is hot, carefully add the patties and cook until a nice brown crust forms on the bottom, 4-5 minutes.  Turn the patties over and cook until a brown crust forms on the second side, 4-5 minutes longer.  Remove patties and keep warm in oven while you make the sauce.
To make the Sauce, in the same frying pan over medium high heat, (drain frying pan of excess oil if needed) add red wine and deglaze the pan scraping up the brown bits at the bottom.  Cook until the wine is reduced and thickens slightly.  Add ketchup, soy sauce, butter, salt and pepper and stir well until combined.  Drizzle sauce over Hamburger Steak and serve

Titanic 3D Confirmed for 2012 Release

Titanic 3D Confirmed for 2012 Release

Film director James Cameron is planning to relaunch his hit movie Titanic in cinemas - this time in 3D.
The Oscar-winner will oversee the conversion of the 1997 hit, following the huge success of his ground-breaking 3D film Avatar.


Special effects will be added to the Leonardo DiCaprio flick using the latest computer technology. This will be made easier by the fact many of the interior and exterior shots were digitally generated in the first place.
However Mr Cameron, 55, warned cinema-goers not to expect the same sort of spectacle that they are now used to with blockbusters like Alice in Wonderland.
He said: 'It's never going to look as good as if you shot it in 3D. But think of it as a sort of 2.8D'.
Mr Cameron has worked hard to convince the cinematic world that 3D is the future of filming and not a fad, and owns several 3D patents himself.
And while 3D films are booming, he thinks TV producers will struggle to catch up with audience demand
He told USA Today: 'With movies, we were generating the content but the screens weren't there. With the home, we've got the screens available and people are going to buy them because they're future-proofing. But right now we've got a content gap.'
Warner Bros is also cashing in on the 3D boom by converting the movie Clash of the Titans from 2D in just eight weeks. But Mr Cameron warned that 'bad 3D' could threaten the medium and said he was going to lavish far more time on Titanic.
He said: 'I’m guessing it will take six months to a year to do it right. We’re targeting spring of 2012 for the release.'
The film will mark the 100th anniversary of the sailing and sinking of the famous ocean liner in 1912.

Interest rates in America analysis

Build America Bonds Will Save $12.3 Billion, Analysis Says

By SEWELL CHAN

Published: April 1, 2010

WASHINGTON — State and local governments will eventually save $12.3 billion from bonds issued in the first year of the Build America Bonds program, a Treasury Department analysis has found, compared with what they would have spent by issuing traditional tax-exempt bonds to finance projects.
The analysis, a copy of which was provided to The New York Times on Thursday, represents a defense of the Treasury-supported Build America Bonds, a program that began last April as part of the stimulus package and is intended to spur spending on infrastructure.
Unlike traditional tax-exempt bonds that states and municipalities use to raise money, the Build America Bonds are taxable. The Treasury provides a 35 percent direct subsidy to the bonds’ issuers to offset borrowing costs. So far, $90 billion has been raised through 1,066 bond issues in 48 states under the program, which is to expire at the end of this year. The bonds have a typical maturity of 10 to 30 years.
President Obama has proposed making the program permanent, with a 28 percent subsidy rate.
The analysis examined 92 cases from April to September in which governments issued both Build America Bonds and tax-exempt municipal bonds on the same day. On average, bonds issued under the new program saved money for their issuers, although the savings were greater for bonds at longer maturities.
The analysis identified several reasons for the lower net borrowing costs associated with the Buy America Bonds. The subsidy, as a response to the recession, was designed to save issuers more than the implicit subsidy associated with traditional tax-exempt bonds.
Second, the bonds have appealed to a broader set of investors, including pension funds and sovereign wealth funds controlled by foreign governments, and the wider demand has probably helped drive down interest rates for the bonds, the analysis found. The bond program began when the municipal bond market was still reeling from the aftershocks of the credit crisis, and it gave states and municipalities another avenue for borrowing.
“Build America Bonds have expanded the investor base for municipal debt, and state and local governments are saving money as a result,” Alan B. Krueger, the assistant Treasury secretary for economic policy, said in an interview.
The total cost of the program is difficult to estimate, though a Congressional body, the Joint Committee on Taxation, initially projected that the almost two-year program would cost the federal government $4.3 billion over 10 years.
Mr. Krueger recently visited the West 96th Street subway station in Manhattan, which is being revamped through a Build America Bond issue by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
“People are working there because of the Build America Bonds program,” he said. “It’s going to mass transit, schools, sewer systems, parks, municipal buildings, town halls, universities and hospitals.”
The Treasury secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, was to travel to the Bronx on Friday to tour the Mott Haven campus, a four-school construction project for 2,300 students and 200 employees, financed in part through Build America Bonds, but officials canceled the visit on Thursday, citing a scheduling conflict.
The analysis also addressed criticisms that have been raised about underwriting fees associated with the Build America Bonds.
So far, issuers have spent nearly $700 million on underwriting fees. The fees have gone down from about $8 per $1,000 of bonds issued to about $6.69, approaching the average of $6.19 for tax-exempt municipal bonds.
While the underwriting fees did start out higher, “the difference hardly eats into the savings” the issuers have reaped, Mr. Krueger said

Japanese Manga and Animation

Japanese Manga and Animation
In Japanese culture, manga and animation are some of the most popular entertainment sources. Unlike America, where live action genre movies have the most budget, bring in the most commercial success and have some of the most well known actors and actress. In Japan, the movie and live action industry is by comparison small. Over the past few years, Japanese manga and animation are now known as part of the Japanese culture world wide by Japanese and foreigners alike.






Japanese manga can be produced on a limited budget compared to movies with real actors. With movies, you will need scenery, actors, actresses, directors, makeup artists and many others. However, Japanese manga and animation only needs few people to produce. That makes it very economical. Another advantage is that the artist can virtually create any kind of setting he wants without much trouble.
Japanese manga usually have exaggerated human features. One of the most notable is the tennis ball eyes that are very large and round. Because manga and animation are so popular in Japan and Asia, it had influenced teenage girls to dream having those large eyes. That’s why the most popular plastic surgery in Asian is the double lid surgery that creates a fold on top of the eye. The surgery is so common that is no longer considered a major alteration.
Animation in other places is usually oriented for children. In America, most animation lovers are children. This is not the case in Japan. Adults and kids alike enjoy manga and animation. Because manga and animation is so popular, artists are producing it in many genres to satisfy a wide variety of consumers.
The most popular Japanese manga and animation today is called Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. It is an anime that appeal to both young people and adults. To get you started on Japanese animation, watch an episode of Naruto to decide if you like it or not

How To Use Your Cell Phone As A Wifi Hotspot

How To Use Your Cell Phone As A Wifi Hotspot
By Lynette Chandler On August 10, 2010


Too many things run on wifi these days – even cameras! But practically for an entrepreneur, it would certainly be nice to use your existing hardware to connect your netbook, iPad, Kindle or whatever devices from anywhere. I know I would love to have this option and so set out to find out what is available out there
This is one area where Windows Mobile phone owners have a leg up. Considering how many applications and services these days are iPhone and Droid only, this really came as quite a surprise. Here are my findings.

iPhone

I suppose this has to do with the draconian rules Apple places on app developers and what type of apps it will allow on iTunes. But there are very few options and the options I found require you to jailbreak your phone. I don’t think many want to do that but if you are sort of techie and motivated, here are two apps you can try.

- Nowadays, techonology provides us with opportunties to do business anytime and anywhere. I too have wifi at home so I can move around and do other tasks, while still keeping up with my business. And it's true - food establishments offer internet facilities to attract more customers. WIndows Mobile is good. Keep your ears open on Droid. I hear there are good reviews on Droid though I haven't tried it yet.

-I agree with you. Personally, as a young entrepreneur, I try to find ways in order to maintain my internet access anywhere I go. I even have my own wifi at home so that I can easily access my email even if I'm away of my computer or laptop
