06-11-2012, 09:21 PM #1076My truck is still sitting in the driveway since I parked it after Church morning services. But just a little while ago I went out & made some new emblems. I have homemade "SS" emblems from the old "SILVERADO" letters. But now I've been thinking since I have the 4.8 & not a 5.4 or 6.0 I'm not even close to SS so I took the old Camaro idea. "SS" was for the bigger engine & "RS" for the smaller engines. So now I have a set of RS emblems made from old Silverado letters. I sanded them & painted them red then cleared they look pretty good the clear is still drying now so I'll hold them up to the truck to see how they look before I install them. I made an extra one for the grille. I have a billet grille insert now but it sits flush with the grille shell, I would like it to sit in more like the factory honeycomb but that would have to be cut out. So now I'm trying to figure out what to use to cut the honeycomb grille out & then be able to mount the billet grille.

Characterization of Potocki-Lupski Syndrome (dup(17)(p11.2p11.2)) and Delineation of a Dosage-Sensitive Critical Interval That Can Convey an Autism Phenotype The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 80, Issue 4, 1 April 2007, Pages 633-649 Lorraine Potocki, Weimin Bi, Diane Treadwell-Deering, Claudia M.B. Carvalho, Anna Eifert, Ellen M. Friedman, Daniel Glaze, Kevin Krull, Jennifer A. Lee, Richard Alan Lewis, Roberto Mendoza-Londono, Patricia Robbins-Furman, Chad Shaw, Xin Shi, George Weissenberger, Marjorie Withers, Svetlana A. Yatsenko, Elaine H. Zackai, Pawel Stankiewicz and James R. Lupski Abstract The duplication 17p11.2 syndrome, associated with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2), is a recently recognized syndrome of multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation and is the first predicted reciprocal microduplication syndrome described—the homologous recombination reciprocal of the Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) microdeletion (del(17)(p11.2p11.2)). We previously described seven subjects with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2) and noted their relatively mild phenotype compared with that of individuals with SMS. Here, we molecularly analyzed 28 additional patients, using multiple independent assays, and also report the phenotypic characteristics obtained from extensive multidisciplinary clinical study of a subset of these patients. Whereas the majority of subjects (22 of 35) harbor the homologous recombination reciprocal product of the common SMS microdeletion (∼3.7 Mb), 13 subjects (∼37%) have nonrecurrent duplications ranging in size from 1.3 to 15.2 Mb. Molecular studies suggest potential mechanistic differences between nonrecurrent duplications and nonrecurrent genomic deletions. Clinical features observed in patients with the common dup(17)(p11.2p11.2) are distinct from those seen with SMS and include infantile hypotonia, failure to thrive, mental retardation, autistic features, sleep apnea, and structural cardiovascular anomalies. We narrow the critical region to a 1.3-Mb genomic interval that contains the dosage-sensitive RAI1 gene. Our results refine the critical region for Potocki-Lupski syndrome, provide information to assist in clinical diagnosis and management, and lend further support for the concept that genomic architecture incites genomic instability.

Reciprocal Crossovers and a Positional Preference for Strand Exchange in Recombination Events Resulting in Deletion or Duplication of Chromosome 17p11.2 The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 73, Issue 6, 1 December 2003, Pages 1302-1315 Weimin Bi, Sung-Sup Park, Christine J. Shaw, Marjorie A. Withers, Pragna I. Patel and James R. Lupski Abstract Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is caused by an ∼4-Mb heterozygous interstitial deletion on chromosome 17p11.2 in ∼80%–90% of affected patients. Three large (∼200 kb), complex, and highly homologous (∼98%) low-copy repeats (LCRs) are located inside or flanking the SMS common deletion. These repeats, also known as "SMS-REPs," are termed "distal," "middle," and "proximal." The directly oriented distal and proximal copies act as substrates for nonallelic homologous recombination resulting in both the deletion associated with SMS and the reciprocal duplication: dup(17)(p11.2p11.2). Using restriction enzyme cis-morphism analyses and direct sequencing, we mapped the regions of strand exchange in 16 somatic-cell hybrids that harbor only the recombinant SMS-REP. Our studies showed that the sites of crossovers were distributed throughout the region of homology between the distal and proximal SMS-REPs. However, despite ∼170 kb of high homology, 50% of the recombinant junctions occurred in a 12.0-kb region within the KER gene clusters. DNA sequencing of this hotspot (positional preference for strand exchange) in seven recombinant SMS-REPs narrowed the crossovers to an ∼8-kb interval. Four of them occurred in a 1,655-bp region rich in polymorphic nucleotides that could potentially reflect frequent gene conversion. For further evaluation of the strand exchange frequency in patients with SMS, novel junction fragments from the recombinant SMS-REPs were identified. As predicted by the reciprocal-recombination model, junction fragments were also identified from this hotspot region in patients with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2), documenting reciprocity of the positional preference for strand exchange. Several potential cis-acting recombination-promoting sequences were identified within the hotspot. It is interesting that we found 2.1-kb AT-rich inverted repeats flanking the proximal and middle KER gene clusters but not the distal one. The role of any or all of these in stimulating double-strand breaks around this positional recombination hotspot remains to be explored. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (4360 kb) |
Genome Architecture Catalyzes Nonrecurrent Chromosomal Rearrangements The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 72, Issue 5, 1 May 2003, Pages 1101-1116 Paweł Stankiewicz, Christine J. Shaw, Jason D. Dapper, Keiko Wakui, Lisa G. Shaffer, Marjorie Withers, Leah Elizondo, Sung-Sup Park and James R. Lupski Abstract To investigate the potential involvement of genome architecture in nonrecurrent chromosome rearrangements, we analyzed the breakpoints of eight translocations and 18 unusual-sized deletions involving human proximal 17p. Surprisingly, we found that many deletion breakpoints occurred in low-copy repeats (LCRs); 13 were associated with novel large LCR17p structures, and 2 mapped within an LCR sequence (middle SMS-REP) within the Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) common deletion. Three translocation breakpoints involving 17p11 were found to be located within the centromeric α-satellite sequence D17Z1, three within a pericentromeric segment, and one at the distal SMS-REP. Remarkably, our analysis reveals that LCRs constitute >23% of the analyzed genome sequence in proximal 17p—an experimental observation two- to fourfold higher than predictions based on virtual analysis of the genome. Our data demonstrate that higher-order genomic architecture involving LCRs plays a significant role not only in recurrent chromosome rearrangements but also in translocations and unusual-sized deletions involving 17p.

A number of common contiguous gene syndromes have been shown to result from nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR) within region-specific low-copy repeats (LCRs). The reciprocal duplications are predicted to occur at the same frequency; however, probably because of ascertainment bias and milder phenotypes, reciprocal events have been identified in only a few cases to date. We previously described seven patients with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2), the reciprocal of the Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) deletion, del(17)(p11.2p11.2). In >90% of patients with SMS, identical ∼3.7-Mb deletions in 17p11.2 have been identified. These deletions are flanked by large (∼200 kb), highly homologous, directly oriented LCRs (i.e., proximal and distal SMS repeats [SMS-REPs]). The third (middle) SMS-REP is inverted with respect to them and maps inside the commonly deleted genomic region. To investigate the parental origin and to determine whether the common deletion and duplication arise by unequal crossovers mediated through NAHR between the proximal and distal SMS-REPs, we analyzed the haplotypes of 14 families with SMS and six families with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2), using microsatellite markers directly flanking the SMS common deletion breakpoints. Our data indicate that reciprocal deletion and duplication of 17p11.2 result from unequal meiotic crossovers. These rearrangements occur via both interchromosomal and intrachromosomal exchange events between the proximal and distal SMS-REPs, and there appears to be no parental-origin bias associated with common SMS deletions and the reciprocal duplications.

B vitamins are good for the nervous system when it has been subjected to stress. Also please make sure to check for a possible D-vitamin defiency as that can cause widespread soreness which may have similarities with fybromyalgia. |

Unusual soreness in limbs
Sore is the word. It's not sharp like a strain and is situated in the muscles, mostly the upper arms and legs. This can last for a while and is often associated with fatigue. |

This exquisite cushion is directly inspired by the world around me depicts two yellow wagtails and wild flowers.
This is the perfect gift for a nature lover or someone who craves the rustic dream.
It is made out of raw linen with a vivid, coral silk strip. The back is made of striped cotton with an orange zip.
The birds are printed on to the fabric and the devil's bit scabious is created using a mixture of applique and fabric sketching.
This cushion measures 30cm (13" ) x 45cm (16") and is supplied with a feather insert to all buyers in the UK, however, for those buying outside the UK the listing is for the cushion cover only (as the cost of postage with the insert is prohibitive).
You can make a real statement with this lampshade by personalising it with up to eight words which I print onto the coloured panel aound the base. You could, for example request " Welcome to Hanover Guest House" for great foyer impact or "Sweet dreams Clara" for a beside lamp. Just write your chosen text into the option box and I'll take it from there!

Occasionally, I like to test human nature and to pinch myself that good still exists among us. I can say, without doubt, that it does exist if you look for it. Stories link to stories, in an endless chapter of existence and can be found on these pages, if you dig deep and step back. Here is one of happiness, that links to the previous post.
Yesterday, kid and I were lost in Moscow. We had returned to the clinic to see painted finger nails, (the doctor and alleged "assistant surgeon") to check his willy healing progress. We arranged to see her at six. We told her on the phone, that we would not pay and that we already given them vast sums of money for his operation and would not pay a ruble more for a checkup visits. To our surprise, she accepted this and let us see her. We arrived early at the clinic at five thirty. Doctor, painted finger nails, was glued to her white iPhone. She saw us but kept us waiting till the agreed, appointment time. She stood at the reception, in her white doctors coat, high heels and glossy red lips, chatting and laughing, while we waited, with no intention of seeing a moment early. We she did see us, she had the look of a woman who was casually looking at handbags in a designer shop and despite her doctors coat, looked indifferent and rather bored. After I had questioned her, it seemed all was fine with willy. Russian doctors are not used to being questioned, even in a private clinic. We said goodbye, promised to never to go back to the AMC (American Medical Center) and got in the car to head home.
This time, we were flying home solo, without the help of a WNA (wife navigation assistance). I only had my iPhone, that does not have a speaking map, in the form of Google Maps. I typed in the directions home and with the phone balanced on a knee, we joined the buffalo herd heading home, feeling very nervous of where it was sending us. From behind me, my kid kept saying "daddy whats that", "daddy can I have a sweet", "daddy want to get out" while we crawled along, with the herd, as predators of fear, stalked my mind. Map, without speaking, indicated to me, via a long blue line on the screen, to turn right, so I turned right, we were herded into a steam of cars, with no way of escaping. We were sent, with the iron herd, over the river, to join a vast road, heading god knows where? After an hour, my phone messaged me with those terrifying, two words, that no idiot, lost in a vast concrete, foreign city wants to read "battery low". Map and the chance to call my wife to say, "we may never see you again" were fading fast, as my phones life ,slowly ebbed away. The road offered us multiple signs, with multiple options of getting lost, sending us further into the concrete jungle. From the back of the car, my kid said "daddy I feel sick". The second words, that no idiot, lost in a vast concrete, foreign city wants to know. I handed him an old plastic bag, that I found tucked in the drivers door and told him to puke into that, "no daddy", "stop, get out". I could feel panic rising up from my stomach. Then it came, warm vomit, mixed with carrots, flew in the air behind me, sending bits of carrot, down the back of my shirt. My kid began to cry while his trousers and the car floor, were covered in the soup from lunch time. Traffic fumes, dust and vomit, filled the air of our small car, as we headed further into lost land.
In desperation, I parked the car, jumped out and asked a man in the street, the way, I knew he would speak English, as after years of living abroad, you develop a sixth sense of knowing when a person will speak English. Typically, he told me he was lost as well. I grabbed another man walking by and asked him the way, with a shaking hand, I held out my iPhone map, to within an inch of his face and said, as best I could, without crying "center please, which way?". He told me to go back the way I had come. I ran back to the car, got in and like a madman on the run from the cops, drove backwards up the one way road, at high speed, swerving the on coming traffic, to rejoin the road I had just stupidly left. Kid gently sobbed in the back, resigned to his fate, at the hands of an idiot father lost in Moscow.

Hang tight!
Recipe by cmburden09
"The perfect grilled corn for a summer barbeque! Always a huge success because it is the perfect mix of spicy and tangy. It is also a great option for the grill because there is no need to smother the corn in butter to make it taste good. Goes great with barbequed steaks or chicken."
Watch video tips and tricks
6 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
So easy and SO delicious! Remarkably, you don't even miss the butter. This has already become a summer staple for my family!
So simple, yet so delicious! I agree with the other reviewer who said you don't miss the butter. I followed the recipe as written, except that I found med-high heat to be too hot. I grilled mine over low heat and turned often. After about 15 mins of grilling, I moved them over indirect heat and let them finish cooking while I grilled some meat. The combination of flavors here is outstanding - you get a nice tang from the lime juice and wonderful chili flavor with the sweetness from the corn. A keeper!

I made this a few weeks ago, more for my husband than me. I was so surprised and delighted to find out that I actually liked it! I normally don't really like Corn-on-the-Cob, but I ate two and was disappointed there wasn't anymore. I'm making it again tonight! Thank you so much! :)
great recipe. I also add in a bit of cayenne pepper to the chili powder
Delicious! I squeezed the lime and added the spices straight to the corn, wrapped foil on each and threw them on the BBQ. Less maintenance and still an amazing mix of flavors.
Very very good. We did it in the husks, minus silk, and then recovered them to grill. Very pungent.

It seems that Intempo has taken a retrograde step from its original offering the PG-01: the KTC-01 feels more like a lunchbox with speakers than a DAB radio. The idea may have been to create a more rough-and-ready model that users wouldn't mind getting dirty or covered in paint, but for £80 we're not convinced.
The KTC-01 has a cream coloured plastic shell with mock brushed metal trim. The knobs are plastic with a shiny metal surface -- the overall effect screams 'budget'. It's strange because the KTC-01's predecessor the PG-01 was a very pleasant looking machine. It had a similar layout but a much classier wooden finish.
As with the PG-01, the KTC-01 measures 250 by 160 by 100mm. A screen and the controls run across the top of the face, with two speakers underneath.
The KTC-01 seems to be a DAB radio for people who don't care for technology. Auto Tuning, DAB/FM, Alarm, Sleep and Info all have their own buttons alongside the Channel Up and Down and the four Preset keys. On the plus side it means there are barely any menus to navigate. The power button isn't marked, but as it's the only button without a label what it's for is fairly obvious.
The screen is a black-on-green, two-line LCD affair. It's easy to read, but could have been made more prominent. Reading it from above is made difficult by the surrounding casing.
Across the back you'll find the aerial, a battery hatch, a headphone socket and the battery saving button (more about that later).
When it is switched on for the first time, the KTC-01 auto-tunes to pick up the local stations. After a few seconds it's up and running. Switching between DAB and FM is simple with the DAB/FM button. Likewise, setting the presets is just a matter of finding the channel you want and holding down the button to assign it.
We found the alarm a pain to set. We had to scroll all the way through the twenty-four hour clock to get to the time we wanted. Setting up the sleep function was a similar process. However, while they were time consuming, neither was taxing.
Simplicity is the keyword with the KTC-01. While it may not be gadget heavy, to some users this will be no bad thing. If it's just something you want to switch on for some background music, it does the job. The alarm and sleep mode are bare essential extras that every radio ought to have, but other than that this radio revels in its straightforward approach.
One useful function is the low-energy button at the back to save the juice in your batteries when you take the unit on the move. Pushing it in makes sure the radio doesn't drain the battery, meaning that next time you come to use it, it won't be dead.
In tests around the house the quality of the signal ranged from just about acceptable in the basement to excellent upstairs. As with many DAB radios, the aerial is detachable, allowing you to use a more powerful antenna.
The sound quality is reasonable, which is lucky because there are no alternative equaliser settings. One gripe is the unnecessarily huge range of the volume control. We had barely got it to halfway when the music, which was very loud by that point, began to distort. We'd advise you not to test the upper limits, because it could well lead to broken speakers.

Majority of Global Muslims Wish for Peace, Well-Being and Family over Wealth and Success for Eid, Western Union Study Finds
Arab Muslims living across the globe (27%) and Muslims living in the Middle East (24%) have a stronger desire for peace relative to Muslims living in Asia, Europe and US (Muslims 16%), which is attributable to a long-standing heightened sense of security precipitated by recent uprisings.
The Western Union study, "Traditions of Eid by global citizens of Muslim faith –2," was conducted in July by The Nielsen Company and covered Muslims of 11 nationalities living in 12 countries in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, the United States and Western Europe.
In the tradition of giving back to family and friends – a key motivator for many global citizens seeking opportunities to work and live - Global citizens of Muslim faith gift their loved ones mostly (three out of four or 78%) during Eid, but are just as generous in donating towards charities, mosque or the needy (two out of three or 61%).
In giving or gifting back, cash is the most preferred (89%) delivered through money transfer companies (66%); followed by clothes (41%), physical gifts (30%) and provisions (23%).
"A vast majority of our consumers are global citizens who travel across borders to shape a better world of tomorrow for their families and themselves. We move their money from one end of the earth to the other for a host of reasons from regular expenses to religious festivals such as Eid with convenience, reliability and speed," said Laston Charriez, Senior Vice President of Marketing, North America, Western Union.
"Our experience tells us that the economic opportunity and empowerment realized for families and loved ones through creating a better tomorrow is priceless wealth that engenders all of the values aspired for by Global citizens of Muslim faith this Eid, " she said.
Global highlights of the survey
•Global Muslims who have resided for a shorter period of time (five years or less) in their host countries tend to place more importance on wealth and success, than those who have stayed overseas for an extended period.
•Cash is the popular way of gifting with money transfer companies preferred (66%); followed by requests for others to carry it to the recipient, while travelling back home (36%) or sending through Bank and wires (35%).
•Global Muslims living in Europe and the US donate more towards charities, mosque or the needy (EU 75%; US 64%) over people they know during Eid (EU 64%; US 64%). This may be attributed to their longer established tenure in these countries. Conversely, in Asia they are more likely to give back to family (67%).
•Global Muslims, who are more inclined to be generous because they are away from home (77%), give more towards charity.
•The majority of family (95%) reciprocating their wishes to their loved one's working or living abroad opted for the human touch of phoning despite the myriad of emerging technologies accessible via the Internet or smartphone. SMS (60%) is the second most favoured channel.
The findings of the study were based on a survey of close to 550 Muslims emigrants originally from the Middle Eastern and North African countries of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia and the South Asian countries of Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
They resided in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East; Malaysia and Singapore in Asia; the United Kingdom, Germany and France in Europe; and the United States.

Baylor vs. Kansas State NCAA Football Free Pick/Preview
Baylor Bears vs. Kansas State Wildcats Gambling Odds from 5Dimes
NCAA Football Betting Favorite: Baylor -3.5
Over/Under: 63.5
If you haven't seen Robert Griffin III play, you are really missing out on watching an electrifying football player. Griffin is clearly one of the best players in the nation, and he has led his team to a 3-0 start. Kansas State is fresh off a huge upset at Miami. The Wildcats were 12.5 point underdogs, but they pulled off the win in Florida. Can Bill Snyder's team pull off a second straight upset this week?
Griffin III has statistics that are absolutely mind-boggling right now. He is completing 85% of his passes through three games, and he has 13 touchdowns and zero interceptions. Who else in the country can come even close to those numbers?! Griffin is certainly the star of the show, but he has plenty of help as well. Kendall Wright is a great play maker at the wide receiver spot. Wright has an amazing 31 catches in just three games. Terrence Ganaway has been a solid running back for the team, and Griffin is always a threat to take off and run with the football. Baylor currently ranks second in the nation as they average 594 yards per game.
The question mark for this Baylor team is clearly their defense. Baylor allowed 48 points at home against TCU in the season opener. They allowed 31 points against Rice last weekend. We know Baylor can put up a lot of points on offense, but can this defense do enough to help them on the road in tough Big 12 environments? Phil Taylor was a beast up front for this team last year, but he is in the NFL now. This week will be a real test for this unit.
Bill Snyder has made a habit out of getting the most out of his teams for many years. Snyder's teams always play fundamentally sound football, and they play hard all the way until the final whistle. They beat Miami on the road last week, but this Baylor offense will be a huge test for them.
Collin Klein was the star of last week's win at Miami. Klein threw for two touchdowns and ran for 93 yards in the team's shocking win over the Hurricanes. John Hubert ran for 166 yards on just 18 carries in the win as well. This is a Wildcats offense that likes to run first, but they'll definitely throw in some play action passes. The team is lacking in talent at wide receiver, but Chris Harper is a solid target on the outside. The Wildcats defense ranks sixth in the nation in total defense and seventh in points allowed at just 10.3 points per game. It should be pointed out that part of the reason they rank so highly is they started the season by playing Eastern Kentucky and Kent State.
Baylor has yet to go on the road this season, and Snyder's team will likely make life difficult on them this week. It won't be a popular pick, but I'll take Kansas State plus the points here.
Free College Football Pick: Kansas State +3.5

Carmel Loggenberg | CAPE TOWN - Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has not commented on claims that the UK spied on South African diplomats. The Guardian newspaper reported on Monday that British intelligence hacked into a computer network used by South African diplomats during G20 Summit held in London in 2009. The International Relations Department's Clayson Monyela said it was yet to receive a full report. But the department has condemned the matter in principle. "We do have a meeting planned with the UK as part of our SA/UK bilateral relations. We meet every year and the meeting is planned for October and one of the things we'll be raising is this issue." However, Monyela said internal talks would take place on Tuesday. "As the executive we're meeting today and I know this issue will be on the agenda, even if it's ahead of the October planned meeting. There may be a decision to call the High Commissioner to get an explanation but also a sense of what they plan to do about this." The Institute for Security Studies (ISS) said if the spying did happen it's a more common occurrence than governments are willing to let on. The evidence of the bugging is contained in documents classified as top secret, which were uncovered by whistle blower Edward Snowden, who worked for America's National Security Agency (NSA), and seen by The Guardian. The documents suggest the operation was sanctioned at senior level in the government of former prime minister Gordon Brown. The ISS's Martin Ewi said spying was a somewhat common practice for governments but usually only for security. "It's something that in the intelligence community everyone knows [about] and it comes at a time when [US President Barack] Obama is struggling to explain to the world about these kinds of activities." He said, however, that in this case, it appears as though British intelligence was looking for more than just potential security threats.

Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Communities introduction
"Let us be united by our humanity, compassion, curiosity and love of motorcycle travel."
Susan Johnson
769 Communities in 117 Countries as of March 2, 2014!
Community Introduction
Introduction, English
The idea of the Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Community is to enable motorcycle travellers, both those on the road and those at home, to meet up with like minded people.
By joining the Community in their area, people at home that are willing to help travellers on the road will receive e-mails on occasion from travellers looking for information on the area, help to solve a problem, or a place to stay and visit. They can choose to ignore the message, in the hope that someone else in the area is willing and able to help, or can respond directly to the request.
It works like this:
(I will use Brisbane, Australia, as an example):
I set up as an e-mail address, and it automatically forwards to all the people on the list in the local community. Whoever wishes to respond to it could then do so, using as the RETURN email address to start with, or their own if they wish.
This way, a "trouble" traveller could be easily ignored, and the good ones easily contacted by all the locals. Also all local people know what is going on and who is coming to stay with who, providing some security.
The Community system also functions as a full, regular mailing list , so people in your local Travellers Community can use it as a method of keeping in touch with each other, planning rides, or just discussing anything of interest to the local riders. It's also a great way of getting in touch with riders in your area for the first time, as you may not know who else in your area is interested in motorcycle travel!
Translation Table for City Names incomplete - additions appreciated!

Gracia has been an independent village since 1897. Today it is one of the most important neighbourhoods in the city of Barcelona due to its special atmosphere and for having retained its own identity.
The district stretches north to south from Plaza Joanic to Princep d'Astúries street, and west to east from Travessera de Dalt to Córcega Street.
The best thing for visitors to do in Gracia is to take a stroll along its narrow streets and enjoy the great atmosphere, not forgetting to take a look at Plaza Rius i Taulet, with its large central bell tower, and Plaza de la Virreina, where the parish church of Sant Joan is located.
In late August, the neighbourhood celebrates its annual festival; the streets are decorated and multitude of outdoor activities and concerts are organised. A must at this time of year is to walk through the streets and soak up the festive atmosphere.
Address: To enter the Gracia neighbourhood, we suggest you take the metro and get off at Fontana (L3), which leaves you at the intersection of Gran de Gràcia street with Astúries; at Joanic (L4); or take an FCG train (any of the ones from Plaza Catalunya) and get off at the Gracia stop, which leaves you at the intersection of Via Augusta with Marià Cubí.

SUV struck by train, two seriously injured
COVINGTON -- An SUV driven by a female and carrying one passenger was struck by a train at the railroad crossing at N. Emory Street near The Depot restaurant Saturday afternoon, according to the Covington Police Department.
CPD spokesman Wendell Wagstaff said the vehicle was traveling south on Ga. Highway 81, or Emory Street, about 12:50 p.m. and, according to witness statements, the driver of a Honda SUV went around the arm of the crossing signal in an apparent attempt to beat the train. She didn't make it.
"We were told the vehicle was actually lifted up and fell on its roof. It took the train a while to stop and it probably pushed the van 50 yards down the track," Wagstaff said.
Wagstaff said the impact of the train was on the driver's side.
Both the driver and the passenger were taken by air ambulance to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta with serious injuries. Their status was unknown at presstime.
An investigation into the crash is being conducted by the Georgia State Patrol.

Features : Too much play, too little time for Ranji Trophy
News : Irfan Pathan injures knee, out for at least one game News : Ajit Agarkar out of next game with calf injury Series/Tournaments:
Ranji Trophy
| Indian Domestic Season
Karnataka's two leading fast bowlers, Vinay Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun, will miss their next Ranji game with minor injuries. They are being rested as a precautionary measure. Vinay is also the captain of the side. Allrounder Stuart Binny will lead the side in his absence, and young batsman Manish Pandey will be the vice-captain.
This news is a dampener for Karnataka after they fought hard to come back with three points, chasing 539 for a first-innings lead on a rank turner against arch rivals Tamil Nadu in Chennai. J Abhiram, the chairman of Karnataka selectors, said the injuries were not too serious, and were expected to heal in time for the next match. Mithun has a side strain, and Vinay has a hamstring problem. "These are just grade-one injuries," Abhiram told ESPNcricinfo. "But we don't want to risk them so soon and make them worse, which could keep them out for a longer period."
The two join Ajit Agarkar, Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel, Sreesanth and RP Singh as fast bowlers who have already had injury troubles this Ranji season. Munaf, Sreesanth and RP were injured even before the season began.
Starting with the India A match against the touring English, Vinay has played first-class cricket on 11 of the last 14 days. The numbers are eight out of 11 for Mithun. The precautionary resting is similar to Ajit Agarkar's case, who picked up a niggle in his calf, and said he would have been fit for the next game had he got a five-day break as opposed to the three days the Ranji schedule provides between matches.
SL Akshay, who has played four first-class matches before, and uncapped HS Sharath and K Gowtham were called up as replacements. Karnataka's next match is in Uttar Pradesh on November 17, where they take on a side coached by one of their own, Venkatesh Prasad. Karnataka have registered four points in their first two games.
