After more than a year, our tenure with the BMW 335i Sport project car is about to end, but we couldn't let it fade into obscurity, deciding instead to send it out in a blaze of glory. Or so we hoped...
Having built it over the past 12 months or more, waiting for the latest parts to emerge from a rather reluctant aftermarket, we've grown to love its rigid chassis, excellent power delivery, luxurious interior and high-tech gadgets.
Apart from a bit more power, we really don't know why you'd choose a 5, 6 or 7 Series over the 335i. It has all the electronics of its more expensive siblings, including lane departure, blindspot and collision warnings, heads-up display plus the full suite of BMW Connected iDrive and infotainment features in a well proportioned package that regularly returns 26mpg for daily driving and will hit 60mph in about 5sec.
We're confident the F30 3 Series is still the best in its class and were looking for a fight to prove it. And that was when we came across the new Cadillac ATS.
Bringing the edgy styling of the larger CTS model into the compact market, along with some clever TV advertising and the hopes of a revived domestic manufacturer, the ATS caught our attention.
With a selection of four- and six-cylinder engines, RWD or AWD layouts, plus a big-screen infotainment center, it seemed to match our BMW in most areas. More importantly, its base price was $46695 for the 3.6L compared to $42090 for our 335i. Once you added all the bells and whistles, however, the Caddy would cost you $48190 and our fully loaded Bimmer was $49185 - close enough for our purposes. So could Cadillac really build a car to rival the 3 Series?
Since our 335i Sport was modified with a raft of top-notch aftermarket equipment, we needed an ATS that could also match it on that front: Step forward D3 Group.
Having built SEMA show cars for several carmakers, the team at D3 Group had submitted a proposal to Cadillac for a twin-turbo Escalade back in 2003. It was rejected at the time because the company was considering it's own V-Series model, but some forward thinking individuals in Detroit approached D3 to see what could be done with the STS and CTS models.
The result was an instant success, with D3 breaking the brand's old fogey mold, giving the models a new twist. As the association blossomed, Cadillac has supplied more support, more vehicles and inside information to where D3 parts are now the only Officially Licensed Products (OLP) for the brand, available at all dealers nationwide.
The Licensed Product range for the ATS will eventually include a complete body kit unavailable for our photo shoot. However, D3 also creates its own range of parts that some dealers distribute or is available at d3cadillac.com
The D3 product line is a little more aggressive than the mainstream OLP parts and included the roof spoiler, rear wing, exhaust and coilovers on the ATS 3.6L we tested here.
The suspension is based on US-built JRI racing shocks that are converted to coilovers by D3. The stainless steel axle-back exhaust was a prototype unit that lacked the fit, finish and sound of the subsequent production piece, but was all D3 had available at the time since we're relatively early into their production process.
The car also had D3's Street Tune ECU software and a set of forged 18" TSW Interlagos wheels with Toyo T1S tires.
In the ideal world, while the Cadillac was fitted with parts from its official partner, our 335i Sport would be equipped from head-to-toe in dealer-fit parts from BMW M Performance. However, we'd decided to mix and match a few choice components to create a hybrid.
We've covered most of the parts in previous issues, and installed two new items that will be highlighted next month. So our car was tested with the official BMW M Performance Power Kit (engine software, air box, engine cover), big brake kit, carbon fiber mirrors and black kidney grilles. It also had Bilstein PSS10 coilovers, stainless steel Borla cat-back exhaust, 20" HRE wheels and Nitto Invo tires.
This is by no means the most aggressively tuned F30 335i out there, but it represents a California-legal car that shouldn't have any dealer warranty issues. It was also well matched to the D3 ATS.
Our first stop was european auto source in Anaheim, CA - a location where several parts had earlier been fitted to our project BMW. We again utilized their dyno to assess the output of each car and found that the BMW had a sizable advantage.
On the rollers, the 335i put down 286hp and 302 lb-ft at the wheels, compared to 261hp and 299 lb-ft we'd previously measured in stock form. This proved that the M Performance Power Kit had done its job.
It's worth noting that BMW claims the car should develop 300hp and 300 lb-ft at the crank. However, the manufacturer is notoriously understated and high wheel numbers aren't unusual.
The ATS could only summon 260hp and 227 lb-ft on the dyno. This was surprising since, on paper, the Caddy should have the advantage. Indeed, the carmaker claims 321hp and 275 lb-ft at the crank. These peak numbers are developed at higher RPM than the BMW, requiring you to rev the 3.6L V6 engine harder to exploit the performance.
The next test would be carried out by our colleagues at MotorTrend. If you like this test, you can see what they thought of our two cars in a video, which is part of their Head 2 Head series on YouTube. MT borrowed the cars for the video while we gained performance figures in return (losing years of life from our tires and clutch in the process!).
On the test track, MT would record 0-60mph times of 5.1sec for the BMW and 5.2sec for the ATS. Over the quarter-mile, both cars were identical, with times of 13.8sec at 102mph. Similarly, braking from 60-0mph would be completed in about 111ft.
In a figure-8 test, the Cadillac would generate more lateral g, recording 0.75g to the BMW's 0.73g. Again, it's not a decisive difference and could be explained in part by the Caddy's race-oriented suspension and the difference in tire compounds. We would later discover the BMW's Bilsteins had been left on the softest settings for some reason, handicapping the car.
With all the numbers stored, we could head into the canyons to discover how the car felt in the high-speed turns and uneven surfaces.
Almost any car can be made to perform well on a smooth racetrack, but the unforgiving environment of southern California's notorious canyon roads can make or break a reputation.
Since we're looking at every aspect, with a view to which would be the best to purchase as a tuner car and daily driver, let's start with the appearance.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and both cars have their fans and detractors. And while neither are stunners in the purest sense, the BMW is more handsome, particularly when lowered on its 20" HRE C100 wheels that emphasize its taut fender lines and sweeping swage line, especially viewed from the rear.
The ATS is more angular, faithful to the Cadillac design language established by the CTS, although less extreme than the bigger sedan. In our eyes, it's better for it, looking more youthful: particularly from the front.
The rear is rather busy for our taste, not helped by the full-length third brake light, or prototype D3 mufflers. Admittedly, the latter will be more refined as a production version.
The upright head- and tail lights make the car look rather tall, where the BMW design emphasizes its width, making it seem lower and sleeker.
The 18" forged TSW Interlagos wheels were well suited to the Caddy, giving the right blend of sport and sophistication. And with its lowered suspension, the ATS was definitely turning a few heads. However, its smaller wheels and large body panels meant the TSWs were swallowed-up by the Cadillac, where the BMW's arches sit higher in the body, making the wheels more prominent.
Without its styling kit available, D3 had fitted its trunk and roof spoilers that undoubtedly made it more sporty, but did add to the complexity of the rear-end. Our 335i, on the other hand, was visually stock with the exception of BMW M Performance black kidney grilles and carbon mirrors - tiny details that made a significant difference.
The interiors reflected the exterior treatments, with the BMW's being rather minimalist and the Cadillac having extrovert design elements. As we've already stated, our 335i is loaded with the latest technology as well as supportive sports seats and a thick-rimmed steering wheel.
Cadillac appears to offer many of the same technologies as BMW, although our test car didn't have everything fitted. That said, the dash and console layout mirrored some exterior design elements and pushing buttons was accompanied by an unusual "thud" sound to confirm operation. There was also the widescreen CUE infotainment display that gave access to navigation, telephone, media, etc. The system employed touchscreen technology in preference to BMW's much-improved iDrive system. Using it, we can see why BMW engineers eschew this system because a moving car makes it hard to press the right spot on the screen, causing you to remove your eyes from the road for longer.
Overall, the Cadillac interior didn't adequately reflect the surprisingly sporty nature of the car itself, yet we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and technology in the Cadillac - its double-stitched leather dashboard a nice feature. However, we defer to the BMW for its greater refinement, although we concede we're very familiar with it after 12 months. So while we prefer the Bimmer, the Caddy wasn't far behind.
Of course BMW
Stop the hate it's still a GM CAR FOOLS ARE JUST HATING BECAUSE GM FINALY STEPED UP THERE GAME .
These rides are hawt
Bmw for sure

There's no competition here at all. BMW wins hands down every time. Germans don't piss about when it comes to building cars.

LOL Ragefee GM Ghettollac is trash. oh and its fugly
Also saleen and roush will roll out ats' s too
My s3 won't let me see it. But don't write off the ats.... we track corner in detroit in undisclosed areas after 12 am...we run all these cars and our veedict is in. Ats is a dog! We had 5 come in 3 twin turbo 2 stock all magnatic ride. They ran 9 corners with a 03 m3 (ats won) the rest were 2012 335's stock (ats won) but the ats lost to the last 335 which was a '13 with full dinan plus lsd. It takes dinan to beat a stock ats. We on the streets. Cadillac nedds work true but they bringing it with the small cars. Now its time to upsize
No saga at all. Even if the caddy trumps in performance, the 335 wins the beauty contest hands down. And don't get me started on aftermarket support, build quality, and prestige.
not really a saga
the question is simple bmw
Vise .....vise .....sau nu se stie niciodata ...roata vietii; pai nu???

Hospital officials in Savannah are restricting visitation because of a rise in the number of flu cases in the area.
The Savannah Morning News reports St. Joseph's Hospital and Candler Hospital are restricting visitors under the age of 18 in The Children's Place pediatric department, the Special Care Nursery and the Telfair Birthplace unless they are listed as a primary caretaker.
Hospital officials say only children who need medical treatment should visit the facilities.
In mid-December, the Georgia Health Sciences Health System implemented a similar restriction and asked children under the age of 17 to refrain from visiting its facilities.

Two New Hampshire men are under arrest after state police say they found heroin and the club drug known as 'Molly' in their car early Tuesday morning.
State police say a trooper pulled a car over on I-91 in Holyoke around 1 a.m.
After a search, the trooper found 1,600 bags of what they say is heroin and several packets of a substance they think is the club drug known as 'Molly' or MDMA.
Mark Simeon, 19, and 19-year-old Zachery Stenson, both of Hinsdale, NH, now face several drug charges.
A female minor was with them in the car. Police are not releasing her name, age, or whether she is facing charges related to the incident.

Julie Hermann leads Rutgers Athletics in 2014 as Rutgers University becomes the 14th member of the Big Ten, the nation's premier academic and athletic conference. Hermann came to Rutgers after serving over 15 years as the Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director at the University of Louisville.
At Louisville, Hermann served as the manager of 20 sports as the Louisville Cardinals built one of the nation's highest performing athletic departments, including the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball National title, two NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship games (2009 & 2013), one NCAA Men's Soccer College Cup National Championship appearance (2010), two College World Series appearances (2007 & 2013) and two BCS bowl victories in the 2007 Orange Bowl and 2013 Sugar Bowl. The Cardinals won 64 Big East championships and titles since joining the league in 2005.
While overseeing marketing, development, academics, sports performance, sports medicine, championships, student development (including the Derek Smith Leadership Academy), Hermann cultivated support for many of the state-of-the-art athletics venues that allowed the Cardinals to enjoy one of the nation's biggest and best building booms in college sports. The Cardinals built over $250 million worth of facilities on campus as part of a strategic plan that allowed them to move into the Big East Conference in 2005 and to be selected again for expansion in 2012 by the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The expansion of Papa John's Cardinal Football Stadium, the Jim Patterson Baseball Stadium, the Trager Center, the Lacrosse Stadium, the YUM! Practice Center, the Ralph Wright Natatorium, the Marshall Center, the G. Garvin Brown Rowing Center, the Mark and Cindy Lynn Soccer Stadium, the downtown KFC YUM! Arena and Cardinal Park - which houses UlmerStadium (softball), Trager Stadium (field hockey) and the track and field complex - have allowed the Cardinals to lead the nation in hosting conference and NCAA championship events including six National Championships.
Following a nationally competitive search, Hermann was selected from a pool of 63 candidates as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Rutgers University. She is the first woman to serve in this capacity at Rutgers and only the second woman to be an athletic director in the history of the Big Ten Conference.
A former all-conference performer for the renowned Nebraska Volleyball program, Hermann is a tireless advocate for the student-athlete experience. At Louisville, she designed and created a best in class student-athlete support system called LCARE. Within her first year, Rutgers Athletics has implemented the RCARE system, dedicated to providing a comprehensive care system for all Scarlet Knights.
Hermann has served on numerous community boards including the Frazier Rehab Institute, the Louisville Sports Commission, the Center for Women and Families, Women 4 Women and many NCAA and conference committees, including chairing the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Committee. Hermann just completed seven years of service on the board of NACWAA, serving a four-year term before being on the executive board and becoming president.
Hermann has been the recipient of many community awards including the 2013 selection as a Lenny Lyles Award winner, the 2004Ladies of Leadership award, the 2006 Women 4 Women Heart of the Community award, the 2008 Mary Kay Tachau Gender Equity award, a 2008 Woman of Distinction by the Center for Women and Families, a Today's Woman Honoree and the 2013 National Girls and Women in Sports honoree.
Before her time as an administrator at Louisville, Hermann was a college and USA Volleyball coach. As an assistantwith USA Volleyball, Hermann supported the National Team as they prepared for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games and coached a silver medal finish at the World University Games in Catania, Italy in 1997.
Prior to USA Volleyball, Hermann was the headvolleyball coach at the University of Tennessee from 1991 to 1997. Under her watch the Lady Vols improved over a 150 spots in the NCAA RPI from No. 177 to No. 25, and in just her third season returned the Lady Vols to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in over a decade.
After her All-Big Eight volleyball playing career at the University of Nebraska and NCAA top-five finishes, Hermann became anassistant coach at the University of Georgia and the University of Wyoming.Hermann's skills as a coach and a recruiter lifted those programs to unprecedented national rankings and advancement in the NCAA Tournament.
Hermann and her partner, Dr. Leslie Danehy, are the proud parents of son, Aidan.

As Pistol Annies get ready to Annie Up with their second CD, they admit they didn't put a whole lot of thought into the all-girl group that's turned into something of a phenomenon.
"We're just country girls having fun really," Angaleena Presley laughs.
"We didn't go into it thinking, 'We're gonna change history," Ashley Monroe asserts. "We just went into it like, 'We've got to do this. We can't not do this.' It's too special. It's too important to us."
"We have to cut these songs, because who the hell could we pitch 'em too?" Miranda Lambert jokes. "You know what I mean?"
Without Miranda's success, Angaleena says Pistol Annies would never have been able to write and record such edgy material.
"She's like a pioneer way before we were a pioneer. I mean, she got 'Gunpowder and Lead' on the radio for goodness sakes. I remember hearing that song on the radio, and me as a songwriter in Nashville writing all these songs that all these people were like tucking their tails and running away from. I heard that song on the radio, and I had to pull over and just, like, thank God."
But you shouldn't think that Pistol Annies set out to write controversial songs.
"When we write, it just happens," Ashley says. "There's a Guy Clark song called 'Some Days You Write the Song, Some Days the Song Writes You.' The song writes us every time...And then afterwards we listen to it and we'll get chills and go, 'Oh my God.'"
"It's always like we don't really realize it's happening," Miranda chimes in.
Pistol Annies will back up Annie Up 's Tuesday release date with same-day appearances on NBC's Today show, and the Late Show with David Letterman on CBS.

OWYHEE COUNTY — A 37-year-old man accused of killing his 35-year-old wife nearly a year ago went before an Owyhee County judge Tuesday.
37-year-old Rodney Bibbey is charged with murder in the first degree for the death of his wife, 35- year-old Trina Bibbey.
The judge issued no bail for Bibbey and set an arraignment date of April 12th.
Owyhee County prosecuting attorney Doug Emery said over the course of the last year, details came forward that gave police reason to believe Trina's death was planned.
"Through a culmination of just a myriad of hours and investigation and hard work, ultimately this case was presented to the grand jury last week," said Emery.
Emery says the evidence implied that Trina Bibbey's Mercury Marquis did not accidentally fall on her while she was changing the oil back on April 4, 2012.
Instead, police believe Rodney released the jack supporting the car with the intent to kill her.
"There was a jack expert who had expertise in hydraulic floor jacks, who had the opportunity to examine the jack in question, and found it was completely functional," said Emery.
Detectives also leveled another felony charge against Bibbey after the investigation concluded.
"... It was discovered that in 2010, an allegation arose that the Bibbey propositioned a young girl to engage in inappropriate sex act," said Emery.
Neighbors told KTVB the couple has several children and that Trina was employed as a hair dresser at a Great Clips store in Boise.
"(She) was liked and respected by many many people that she dealt with in a public setting," he said.
Bibbey requested to have a public defender assigned to his case, and is expected to enter a plea at his next court day.

Democratic challenger Mark Schauer can beat incumbent Gov. Rick Snyder if the voting population is narrowly drawn based on the latest EPIC-MRA numbers. Or put another way, he wins but only if his supporters are the only ones who vote which is pretty unlikely.When you dive into the survey you see that the person who supports Mr. Scahuer has the following profile: Pro-choice, lives in a labor household, is between 50-64 and is a non-believer when it comes to religion.In addition, that voter is a liberal, no shocker there, earns under $25,000 a year and resides in Macomb County.However Mr. Snyder holds a lead in all the other segments of the voting universe.Yet if you are in the Schauer camp you could draw some solice from knowing that pro-choice voters favor him by a wide 55%-32% margin. The lead is a little bigger, 57%-33% in union households and the challenger has a ten point lead with those between 50-and 64 years of age and a twenty-four point margin with those who don't go to church.In the all important moderate voter contest, it is a tie with each receiving 41% of the middle of the road vote.President Barack Obama rode to victory over Mitt Romney by holding together the African-American vote and the "other" minority voting blocks.Mr. Schauer is doing well there with a commanding 61-17 point lead with Blacks and a 55%-30% lead with other minorities. The 17 points for a GOP incumbent is pretty good and Mr. Schauer will want to up that 61% figure before all the votes are counted.In vote rich Wayne-Oakland-Macomb Counties the two are very close. Mr. Schauer gets 45% to Mr. Snyder's 42% but with a 4% margin of error, the contest is a dead heat there. Across the rest of the state the governor is doing well with a 22 point lead in Mid-Michigan, 25 points in West Michigan and 20 and 27 points respectively in the Bay region and up North.The pundits will suggest Democrat Schauer has a base of supporters from which to work, but he'll need to build upon that or else the other guy wins. But has the Schauer folks like to say, "it's still early."

The Friday after the attacks, The New York Times began publishing "Portraits of Grief" — brief sketches of those who had died, based on recollections of their families and friends. Here, some of those who were interviewed tell what life has been like in the 10 years since.

KENOSHA, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) Amazon-Dot-Com's new distribution center in Kenosha will come at a cost to the firm's Wisconsin customers. That's because they'll start paying sales taxes on what they buy from the giant Internet retailer. They didn't have to do that in the past -- but now that Amazon is about to have a physical presence in Wisconsin, Laurel Patrick of the state Revenue Department says the firm must start charging sales taxes on Wisconsinites.
Amazon has told the state it would obtain a necessary permit by November 1st, and start charging taxes on Wisconsin's Internet customers after that. Amazon has not made a public statement on the matter.
This week the Kenosha City Council approved $18-million in tax incremental financing to pay for utilities that will serve Amazon's new distribution center. It's expected to open next fall near Interstate-94. Mayor Keith Bosman says it will have 1,100 full-time employees and around 2,500 seasonal workers. A bill is still pending in Congress to require sales taxes on all Internet purchases. The Senate passed the measure in May. The Republican-controlled House has not acted on it.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said he won't personally try accused Las Vegas Strip shooter Ammar Harris, but he's vowed to put his top prosecutors on it.
Harris is currently in Los Angeles, awaiting an extradition hearing on Monday. He was captured on Thursday in Studio City following a weeklong manhunt.
Harris is accused of opening fire on a Maserati, killing the driver and causing a crash that claimed two more lives.
Wolfson said that if Harris fights extradition, it could take 30 days to get him back to Las Vegas. However, Wolfson doesn't think that will happen and anticipates he'll be booked in Las Vegas next week.
"Crashing cars and shooting guns and explosions - that gets people's attention. That doesn't happen every day. Just by the nature, the act itself makes this case different and unique," Wolfson said.
Court documents reveal Harris' first alleged shot into the Maserati may have claimed driver Ken Cherry Jr.'s life.
"The end result, three people lost their lives and other people were injured. It could have been worse. Other people could have been injured," Wolfson said.
Wolfson said Harris' case is classified as open murder, meaning he could face the death penalty. That decision will be made in the coming months, with the victims' families having a say.
"It's very common for my prosecutors to talk and discuss all the options, all the parts of a criminal case with family," said Wolfson.
Harris is facing three murder charges, an attempted murder charge for allegedly shooting Maserati passenger Freddy Walters, and several charges relating to firing shots on the Strip.
Metro police said three women were in the black Range Rover with Harris when he allegedly opened fired. Wolfson said they could be called as witnesses to testify but that they are not currently facing criminal charges.

Roughly normal saline - 0.9% or approx 150 mM.
are you sure?
I have read that mice eat more salt than that of human.
and about Rabbit, they are Coprophagia, that is they eat their own feces to gain enough vitamin 12 and etc.
So I think that thay have more NaCl concentration in their blood.
0.9% or approx 150 mM is for human blood.

Therapy for common viral infections is generally supportive as there are no specific treatments. Dehydration may require isotonic fluid therapy (0.9% saline or 5% dextrose). Animals not drinking water orally require 40-80 mL fluids/kg/day, administered SC or IP in divided doses 3-4 times per day (eg, 1-2 mL/day for a 25 g mouse or 16-32 mL/day for a 400 g rat).
You also culture cell lines such as NIH3T3 in DMEM and similar mediums, which all have the same base of normal saline

Hey Miss Sarah: I thank you for the transcript. Wow was the draft ever a sucess. I am looking forward to FA, trades and signing RFA and the summer league to see these new dudes play out. We have a good core, a great starting five and some good rotation players. All of them are enthusiastic and energy driven and that makes up for the newnesss. Plus the newness wears off after a few games and then all they need to do is work on their game. Thank you again Miss Sarah.
I'm assuming the Blazers will pursue a veteran free agent point guard. I realize he played in China this year but I hear no one talking about Aaron Brooks as a possibility for any team. Is there a reason he's not being mentioned as an option for teams that I don't know about?
I think we look for Illasova, Bayless, Batum, Hickson, Thabeet, Przybilla, and maybe Flynn.

On walking through my local department store, I cannot help but notice how well one of the concession stands are doing compared with another leading brand right opposite. They are both in prime position within the store with an excellent flow of potential customers.
The concession stands are both house hold names in the cosmetic industry. One excels while the other just does OK. They both offer similar goods and have very good advertising campaigns .
This is the difference!
The stand that excels goes beyond OK! They engage with the customers more. They know everything about the store not just their products.They know about the area, other shops, schools etc. Their local knowledge is far superior. They engage, advise and then capture the customer by making themselves the "go to people". This could not be more evident upon people walking through and making a point of saying hello by name.
These lady's customer focus is remarkable! Their service is excellent and they have created an approachable and friendly atmosphere!
It just goes to show you need to be more than just a pretty face!!

Victoria Jackson Files For County Seat In Williamson County
THOMPSON STATION, Tenn. (AP) - Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Victoria Jackson has filed to run as an independent candidate for a seat on the Williamson County Commission.
Jackson, who calls herself a tea party conservative, moved to Thompson Station last year. She said she filed as an independent because she's "very disappointed with the Republican Party."
As long as Jackson meets the candidate qualifying requirements by the deadline of February 20, her name will appear on the election ballot on August 7.
She would run against the Republican nominee, who will be chosen on May 6.
Jackson has made appearances at multiple political events in Middle Tennessee since making her home here.

As April was helplessly devoured by May, thus signalling the end of another month of our trip, so Vietnam was ruthlessly barged aside by Cambodia on our country-count. Whilst we had little expectations of the country, our two previous months spent in south east Asia gave us a fairly decent idea of what might await us: at least one city teeming with tuk-tuks and overflowing with hotels, bars, restaurants, temples and pagodas; a more pedestrian town/city offering the 'chill-out' part of the country, also overflowing with hotels, bars, restaurants and pagodas; and miles and miles of the greenest countryside interspersed with dusty old towns in between the two. We weren't far off with our prediction, but there was still the element of the unknown.
We were far too experienced in Asian bus travel to worry, or care, about the type of bus or distance of the journey from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh. Our only terms were that we had a seat and that the journey wasn't in excess of 24 hours (something we weren't afforded in Laos!). If these were met then there would be no grumbling from us. Our only reservation was regarding the Vietnam/Cambodia border, simply because every border we have been through so far has had different rules that may or may not apply on certain days and may or may not apply according to the border official's mood, menstrual cycle or racial/ethnic prejudices. Despite our internet research on travel forums (largely because of the conflicting experiences of travellers, you just never know.
Fortunately this particular crossing went ahead with little disruption, not that that stopped us from worrying as we approached the border. We knew before we set off that the cost of a 30 day visa on arrival for Cambodia was $20 US and that occasionally officials would ask for more in a bid to catch travellers unaware. A local on the bus approached us, asking for $25 US and our passports so that they could speed-up the process of crossing and pocket the extra $5 US. Most of the people on the bus were surrendering to this fellow, however we had too many almosts and near-misses regarding theft and scams that we decided to do it ourselves.
The filling in the forms and handing over the money was easy enough, the only hindrance being that the people running the bus service were not keen to help us find the office for payment, after we refused to give them $5 US for something we could do ourselves. But we arrived on the other side with our passports stamped and our legal-alien status validated: onwards to Phnom Penh.
Our passage took us through the typical south-east Asian landscape of far-off mountainous regions and far-reaching flat green fields. We also very briefly boarded a ferry without having to disembark from the bus (cash-back) and we arrived in the capital city at approximately 2pm. We were met by a rabble of drivers desperate to have us in their tuk-tuk, and we agreed to be shown around a few hostels by the least annoying of them.
The place we settled on was certainly the best of a 'decent' bunch (refer back to my last few HCMC posts for the south-east Asian definition of decent) and whilst it didn't have air-con, it at least had a bar directly below us serving draught beer for 39p. Every cloud, eh?
We did little that same day but unpack and forage for food later that night. Our mission to discover a night food market outsideof Thailand came to another unsavoury end. The 'market' was more of a street crossing with locals cooking outside their houses. We sampled some skewered meat that could well have been anything; it's probably best not to know.
The next day brought us a full afternoon of sightseeing once we had run a few money related errands. It turns out ATM's in Cambodia do not dispense their own currency of Cambodian riel, only US dollars; apparently their own money is not good enough. Not that I have anything against US dollars. The problem is that we were dispensed $50, sometimes $100 notes, making it extremely difficult to use the money for the smaller, everyday purchases like tuk-tuks and street food. Luckily, a Sacombank branch was at hand to assist.
The National Museum of Cambodia's fascia was far more interesting (to us at least) than what was contained inside. With its fiery red colour and Chinese design, it looked more like the residing place of a mythical being than the resting place of numerous relics. The no-photo rule employed prevents me from showing you any of the museums contents so you'll just have to take my word for its relative interestingness.
The Royal Palace and its accompanying temples, pagodas and monuments however was far more engaging. A large complex of buildings which makes up the most popular tourist attraction in the city, the Royal Palace has been home to the country's reigning monarch since its construction in the late 19th century. It houses the current king in an area closed off to the public, but the areas we saw were brimming with grandeur and unlike the museum, it offered us some spectacular photo opportunities as the bright-blue, cloudless sky provided a spectacular backdrop.
After a hard day at work exploring the city, we thought it only right that we reward ourselves with an early evening drink and a deliciously sweet and cavity-making cake. While I conservatively ordered the chocolate cake, I looked on in envy as Jo triumphed with a heavenly-soft blueberry cheesecake that tasted sweeter and richer with every mouthful. We followed-up our 'rest' with a dinner at the hostel accompanied by a few more 50 cent beers. Regular readers will confirm that we like making cheap-booze related memories, and Cambodia was no exception.
The next day we had put aside for a visit to the Choeung Ek Centre of Genocide, about 10 miles from Phnom Penh. The centre is a memorial site for those who suffered at the hands of the brutal Khmer Rouge: the political party led by Pol Pot that ruled Cambodia from 1975-1979. The Killing Fields, as the site is commonly known, was formerly used as a graveyard for local Chinese-Cambodians but was partially destroyed by the Khmer Rouge when it was earmarked as a sort of concentration camp for 'dissenters'.
It is difficult to say that the people sent to the camp actually were 'dissenters' to the party. From what I've learned, political preference didn't really come into it. Essentially, if you hailed from the city, were educated, owned a company or indeed worked for a company, were 'urbanated' or were influenced by capitalism in anyway, you were sent to Choeung Ek and killed. Pol Pot had a dream of a communist Cambodia fuelled by agriculture. The only problem was his dream turned into a very real nightmare for most of the population.
I won't go into the grisly and ghastly details of what happened here. Anyone with any knowledge of the Nazi atrocities toward Jews and Europe's ethnic minorities between 1938 and 1945 will have a pretty good idea anyway. But the experience visiting the site was one I will always remember. I've not visited Auschwitz myself, but I imagine anyone who has visited both would recount similar experiences. It is a peaceful place, which is both strange and assuming at the same time. It should be a peaceful setting, providing the locale with serenity following its history of horror. Yet as you wander the site, plugged into an audio commentary as well as primary and secondary accounts of what happened, you kind of feel as though you should witness the actual horrors that took place here, if only to do justice to those people who were needlessly killed in the most inhuman of ways.
Of all the museums, monuments and historical sites we have been to on our travels (and indeed in my entire life) I can think of no other place as well organised or as well set up to help educate visitors. Because the tour is given under headphones, visitors are led around the site and informed at various stages as to its significance. No one is speaking, no one is rushing and no one is disturbed from the serenity that comes from remembrance. Even the nearby school that was in recess did nothing to detract from the experience. It only stood to symbolise that despite what happened here and whilst the country will never forget, life goes on. A beautiful, respectful and professional mix.
Whilst we walked about the site, the sun beamed down giving us a perfect day of subdued memorial however the 40 minute tuk-tuk ride back to Phnom Penh was accompanied by a sudden outburst of rain, prompting the driver to pull up and roll down the waterproof sides of the vehicle. Once we were back in Phonm Penh we were taken to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, hopping over puddles as we ran to the ticket booth for shelter from the downpour. This is the site where prisoners under Khmer Rouge control were kept before being taken to the killing fields, known at the time as Security Prison-21 or S-21. It was in fact used as a high school before the Khmer Rouge took the city.
The complex constituted three large buildings in a C-shape, each three storeys high and contained rooms, some of which still housed the beds and torture devices of the Khmer Rouge, whilst others were turned into museums showing before and after pictures of detainees (the Khmer Rouge were meticulous in their documentation and record keeping, which made for a more haunting and real experience).
The combination of where we had just been and the thunder storm that had greeted us at S-21 made for what I thought was a more poignant experience. It was as though the mood of the day's sightseeing was being reflected in the weather and it had the added effect of enhancing our experience.
The next day we were due to leave Phnom Penh and head west across the country. It was not only the capital and its surrounding areas that suffered at the hands of Pol Pot; the whole country was torn apart and no spot of Cambodian soil went undisturbed. While we took rest and dinner later that evening, our thoughts kept drifting back to the places we had been that day. Despite our need to move on, I can say with some confidence that the day's experiences and the things we learned will never be forgotten. It brings into perspective how fortunate we are to be able to visit such places and move on freely as and when we please, even with the inconvenience of border control. Some people, not so long ago remember, were never that lucky.
We had been in Cambodia for no more than three days before we left Phnom Penh for Siem Reap, yet we had come to the half-way point of our time in the country. When we first began to plan the Asian leg of our trip in the dark winter of months ago, we allowed ourselves two weeks to get from one side of the country to the other. This was still our allocated time up until Thailand where- between one sun-soaked day on a beach in Phuket and another in Koh Phangan- we came to the decision to fit a cross country trip from one side of Laos to the other, thus compromising one of the weeks set aside for Cambodia.
Whilst it was a fairly straight forward decision in the end, it took a bit of to-ing and fro-ing to successfully iron out the details. The original plan was to allocate our two months in south-east Asia thus (in direction of travel):
two weeks in Thailand;
two weeks in Cambodia;
and two weeks in Vietnam.
Once we had made it to Vietnam's Hanoi, we were expecting to jump on a plane and hop the South China Sea to Hong Kong for a week before returning to Bangkok. As it turned out, flights were significantly cheaper to and from Bangkok.
At the same time, a few things had happened and a few decisions were made as a result. We spent a bit longer than two weeks enjoying Thailand's southern beaches that we had to find a third week from somewhere. With a distant eye on our sojourn in the southern hemisphere, we came to the decision, on behalf of our budget, that we should spend longer than planned in Asia where accommodation was cheap, and the Pad-Thai plentiful. After more to-ing and fro-ing with STA, we managed to put back our flight from Bangkok to Sydney by 11 days, giving us an extra week and a half to revel in the "cheap cheap".
As well as this, we were planting the seeds of a planned trip to the north of Thailand; an area we had not originally scheduled to see. The reason for the detour was the news that Teckael (Tom, Becky and Michael) would be crossing the Laos-Thai border and spending a few days in Chiang Mai. As this would be the only chance to meet up with three of them, we decided two weeks was just about enough to lay dormant on sunny sands, and we made the arrangements to travel north. The logistics of being in the northern Chiang Mai meant it would be more convenient to visit Laos, as well as using it as passage to Vietnam where our original plan could resume, just in reverse order (I hope you're still with me! Here's an artists representation of our Original Route):
So to conclude, we gained a week by pushing our Sydney flight back, but used it up by spending an third week in Thailand. We then gave up a week in Cambodia- partly on the advice of Teckael who had been through the country already, and partly because we would be booking a flight to Hong Kong on or around 9th May- which we used to see the northern cities/towns of Laos (See our Actual Route below):
And that's why, dear reader, we only had one week to see Cambodia. I know you didn't ask, but it will save you asking why we didn't simply give ourselves more time in the country.
So, the bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap only took about six hours. If Cambodia had so far not endeared itself to us for its city hospitality, we were at least thankful for its short inter-city travel. Phnom Penh offered historical buildings of grandeur and fascinating cultural insights, yet we were not exactly charmed by its cleanliness or engaging population, so when we first got a glimpse of Siem Reap, we breathed a simultaneous sigh of relief: buildings that were no more than five storeys high and decorated in the finest French-colonial style, and possibly more importantly: a room with air-conditioning.
We chose our room at the hotel to which we were brought, but before we settled down we discussed our plan of action for the next day with the tuk-tuk driver who had brought us. We had read into the Angkor Archaeological Park, which was the undisputed number one sight-seeing attraction of Cambodia (and quite possibly south-east Asia too), and as it spans 400 kilometres of open and forested land, it is quite possible to spend a week visiting the vast array of temples and still not quite see it all. We, had naively set aside one day.
The tuk-tuk driver discussed which temples were the best to see in just one day as well as the best times to visit and we arranged to wake long before the crack of dawn the next day in order to get the best possible experience. The rest of the day we spent orientating, enjoying the thriving bars and shops of 'Pub Street' (a French word, I think) before crossing the river by the quaint set of bridges that took us to the quieter part of town.
Whilst we were discovering that accommodation in Cambodia was costing us a bit more per-night than it had in other parts of Asia (a shocking £2 increase per night…the horror!) we (or at least I) were at least happy to discover that we were paying less for beer: 50 cents for a draught that was not quite a pint, yet was significantly more than a half. Or in British pub terms: 65p for a pint and a bit.
With the disturbing knowledge of a 4am alarm set, we took our best advice and went to an early bed. As always seems to be the case when you wake at such a ridiculously dark hour, you never feel as tired as you should and we both sprang from our beds, wolfed down our cereal and bound into the tuk-tuk with the eagerness of a pixie jumping into its pixie-carriage on its way to its pixie-high school prom (analogy to be taken with a pinch of salt).
Before we could enter the park, we had to buy a pass and the passes were available in one, three and seven day formats. With our limited schedule, we could only allow for one day so we paid the $20 fee where our tuk-tuk driver dropped us off before jumping back on board and racing through the forest path in almost pitch black. Beyond the trees to the east, we saw the first glows of sunrise peeking through and it was not long before we had arrived at the parks flagship temple: Angkor Wat.
The sky began to bleed a reddish-orange, giving the ruinous landscape a beautiful tinge but the Wat was not yet in view; just the initial gate and surrounding wall. We were so caught up taking photos of this scene which was mirrored in the moat's still waters that we almost forgot that this was not the main attraction, so we hurried through the perimeter gate before Angkor Wat revealed itself, dominating the scarlet sky as teems of tourists stared in awe (through lenses) at its ancient magnificence.
In a matter of minutes the sky had completely changed colour, through orange and red and deep purple, to a sort of faded lilac that hung about the Wat for a while. We took photos from various angles before approaching the temple for a closer look. The Wat was vast and labyrinthine inside- easy to lose one's partner without really trying(!)- and the 6am stroll about the grounds made for a more ethereal experience. It is somehow more apt to view such a place in the grey and quiet of the early morning, as if by getting up early enough you can glimpse the past of its greatness before the modern world awakes.
We returned, well and truly impressed, to the tuk tuk driver who was clearly starving and he took us for breakfast at one of the eateries in the complex. Second -breakfast (for us at least) was taken before heading off to see more temples. We were dropped off at the Bayon which was the second most impressive ruin we saw that day. If anyone has seen Angelina Jolie rolling around in hot-pants in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, you may find this temple familiar. Then again, you might not have paid a blind-bit-of-notice to the Angkor architecture. I'm sure your eye was too busy chasing images far Jolier than thou.
We walked about the grounds of Bayon and then took in the other ruins of smaller temples, monuments, towers, walls, gates and sentry posts. They were all mightily impressive in their own right and there is no doubt that it was a worthwhile visit, but the early start was beginning to get the better of us and we began to flag in the searing late morning/midday heat. A few water breaks later interspersed with some more hauntingly and Labyrinth-esque temples- including one in particular, Ta Prohm I think, that was intertwined with bulging trees that wound around the stone, as if over time the two had joined into one- we had to call it a day.
We made it back to the hotel around 2pm and subsequently slumped into slumber. I will not say the park was not the gem of Asia that so many claim it to be, but I will say that it is the most trying. How some people spend two days there, never mind a week, I don't quite know.
We had hoped before we came to Siem Reap to pay a brief visit to Battambang, which was recommended to us by Becky who told us the bamboo railway was worth a ride. Unfortunately we did not make it that far. We had one eye on our impending flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong which we had booked ourselves as an internal flight (i.e. not on our original ticket) and we were desperate not to miss it. After Angkor, we had one more day before we had to be in Bangkok.
It was either leave the same day as Angkor and have a night stay in Battambang at the risk of there not actually being a bus from Battambang to Bangkok, or just stay in Siem Reap and leave with plenty of time to get to the Thai capital; a journey about which we had received various and conflicting time-scales. When we considered our history of border-control and the potential problems that can arise, we decided to play it safe, booking a bus to take us across the border from Siem Reap to Bangkok. Sorry bamboo railway; we may never see your golden tracks.
I mentioned borders at the beginning of my last post, Cambodia Part 1: Pagodas & Pol Pot, and how despite the unhelpful bus operators, the crossing from Vietnam into Cambodia was fairly stres free. This one didn't go quite as smoothly. As all Asian buses tend to do, this one stopped every 20 minutes for a pee-stop or a swap-stop or whatever the hell they do, but when it got to the Cambodia border, the doors opened with no one telling us anything. This was probably in part to the driver not being able to speak a single word other than Cambodian so we took it to mean "were here, you can disembark".
Not knowing whether the same bus would carry on through the border and pick us up on the other side we took our bags and belongings with us as we approached the departure office. This was a simple act of waiting in line until an official stamped your passport before moving through to Thai immigration. Again, a simple waiting game, followed by a shiny new stamp.
But once we were on the other side, it was anyone's guess as to where we were supposed to wait and who was supposed to pick us up. As most of the group form the bus were headed for Bangkok, we stuck together hoping that an empty bus would spot its missing cargo looking scared and timid outside a few dusty shops. Eventually, a bus did pull up but we all seemed to have different stickers (given to us earlier on the bus), even though most of us were headed for the same place. And when Jo and I were told to go on a different bus to most of the group, we really started to worry when one of the girls going solo was not going to Bangkok.
But, as we've come to learn in Asia, sometimes you've just got to suspend your doubts and hope that someone knows what's going on. Luckily someone did, and that evening we arrived on Khao San Road in Bangkok and hunted down the cleanest and best air-conditioned room for the cheapest price: decent, you might call it. We were on a busy road that was lively through the early hours but our stay was just for one night as we were due at the airport the following day. Thanks to our chosen method of travel to Hong Kong, we could breathe a sigh of relief that we would never again have to travel uncomfortably by bus whilst simultaneously worrying about our passage into the next country. Unless they discover the smuggled, illegal contents of my rucksack…

Claims of Election Day irregularities, long lines and potential voter fraud in Arapahoe County filled a 90-minute Colorado Secretary of State hearing on Wednesday, held at the Southwest Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial.
Republican County Chairwoman Joy Hoffman said she had heard from election judges of an instance of double voting by people who cast a mail-in ballot at one address – and an Election Day ballot at a polling location using a different address. She said some polling locations had two and three-hour lines.
At Aurora's CentrePoint Plaza vote center, people in lines were still waiting to vote at 8 p.m, she said. By law, the polls were scheduled to close statewide at 7 p.m.
Some people testified that they saw buses full of people flooding the vote centers – one after another – at locations such as Smoky Hill, CentrePoint and Mission Viejo – all on the eastern side of Arapahoe County. Vote centers are county-wide voting stations that were purportedly designed for voter convenience and to reduce personnel costs associated with more traditional precinct level voting, which the county abandoned in 2010. Nov. 6 was thus the first presidential election in Arapahoe County in which vote centers were exclusively used.
In its report on the hearing, Westword noted…
"Gessler also heard a lot of questions about mail-in ballots potentially being intercepted, with some worrying about individuals they observed dropping off piles of mail ballots in bulk — a red flag for fraud, they say. Several also raised questions about busloads of people going to polling sites, suggesting that tactics could be helping people to vote twice or clog up lines at vote centers to stop legitimate voters."
The hearing in Centennial was the second of two on Wednesday. The first was in Boulder County and that hearing presented distinct concerns about mail-in voting, signature verification, and whether the county's results should be certified, according to The Boulder Daily Camera. [See video above.]
Secretary of State Scott Gessler announced on Nov. 30 that his office would "hold public meetings, looking for citizen feedback on the recent election and soliciting changes or improvements that can be made for future elections." Hearings were to continue today in Pueblo and Colorado Springs. One in Denver is scheduled for Wednesday.
"By many measures, the November election was a success. But there is always room for improvement," Gessler said in a statement. "We want to hear from Coloradans about their experiences and how we can make our elections even better going forward."

ENDA October 1 Letter
United opposition to sexual-orientation-only nondiscrimination legislation
October 1, 2007
Dear Madam Speaker and Representatives:
The undersigned represent the vast and celebrated diversity of the LGBT community in this country. Some of us are national leaders of organizations with tens of thousands of members and constituents, some of us run the only local organization in our state. But we are united in a common cause: We ask you to keep working with us on an Employment Non-Discrimination Act that protects everyone in our community, and to oppose any substitute legislation that leaves some of us behind.
We ask and hope that in this moment of truth, you will stand for the courage real leadership sometimes demands. You each command enormous respect from all of us and we do appreciate the difficulty of balancing a variety of competing demands. But the correct course in this case and on this legislation is strikingly clear. We oppose legislation that leaves part of our community without protections and basic security that the rest of us are provided.
You told us you supported a fully inclusive ENDA and would bring it up for a vote this year. We expect that you will honor that commitment and we look forward to working together to pass a bill that we can all be proud to support.

When we talk about hydrogen fuel cell technology, we tend to talk about it's application in cars, but one company thinks it might work just as well in farm machinery. New Holland just revealed the NH2, a powerful tractor in every way exept it runs on a hydrogen fuel cell instead of gasoline.
The first to be introduced for commercial production by any tractor-maker, the NH2 has no gearbox or clutch, just like an electric car and cialis from canada the fuel cell generates 106 horsepower. New Holland hopes to have the NH2 ready to be sent out for testing within two years and a production model ready by 2013. Currently, one hydrogen tank only offers 1.5 - 2 hours worth of running time for the tractor, so the levitra 50 mg tablets company will work on improving the efficiency before it goes to production.
While farm machinery is already expensive, the NH2 will likely be even more so because of the high cost of fuel cells, but it's great to see emission-free technology moving beyond just automobiles and into an industry associated with such great greenhouse-gas emissions like farming. The more companies and industries we have focusing on developing the technologies, the quicker we will have more efficient and cheaper forms of what is cialis professional them in all facets of life, all around the globe.

Most small (up to a few hundred acres) farmers know far more about the environment than most greens will ever dream of.
The investment required, tight margins and government regulations mean they have to be very careful about costs and returns.
Provide them better tools such as environmentally friendly items and buy levitra soft tabs they use them providing they are workable.
I am not talking about gardens or organic types - I am talking about the ones who produce the food for market.

These programs (produced by a local NPR affiliate) have put the visit web site best cialis prices most time and sophistication into the food vs fuel issue with respect to biofuels than any eco-engineering blog I read. They're also at least as sophisticated about the operations of the commodities market as my friend who maintains the programming of an electronic commodities-trading machine on canada levitra Wall Street. Though the farmers tend to operate on a vastly different timescale -- weeks for them, versus milliseconds for my friend. So, yeah, I agree with Russ on this point.
But, yeah, this tractor will be a flop. Because it's hydrogen powered, and hydrogen really comes from natural gas (CH4) -- though everyone wishes it came from other sources (and some people are working generate hydrogen from other sources). A farmer and an engineer are likely to agree that you'd be just as far ahead to burn the natural gas directly in a CNG-powered ICE -- or run an existing tractor on biodiesel.
Fortunately, farmers who already grow soybeans are in an excellent position to buy cialis online provide their own biodiesel. I read a few articles about farmers who started doing this during the last fuel-price spike.
