Caught the Red Hop on Hop off bus late morning. Sat on the top deck for a good view but apart from the city centre and nearby to it there is very little of interest. It does give you an overview of the city though which allows you to then know where to go back to. Which we did. We got off at stop 7 and walked back via the River a Walk to the Central Market.

... centre of town to check out The Mission and The Alamo (where Texas fought off the invasion of the Mexicans) we mooched around for an hour and waited for Kaitlin and the rest of the group to join us. The previous day in the van I had noticed a bite on my leg that was started to swell quite badly. By that evening it was a clear bullseye spider bite, which is apparently quite dangerous and for my own sanity, I've been told not to google it! I'm too scared to ...

In the day it looked like a normal street with town houses but at night it was a strip of bars all lit up with lights and music. We met Jess' other friends Kelly and Kim who we are leaving our van with. Together we all went to a gig and saw Bombay Bicycle Club, I only knew 3 songs but they were really good! Sunday 19th May ...

Hi curious A.L.J requested certain info from both parents i provided mine he did not...i filed circuit court de nuvo request due to this cause info he verbally gave was not correct..he just did nt want his 2nd job income to be included in. CHild support order..finally after 8 months since i filed we have hearing of this matter...since. admin law judge could nt inforce what other parent failed to provide can circuit judge? Can they make him do so..Basically it s. Proof of income be was. Dishonest about as to why he failed to provide info..
I also suggest that you contact the caseworker in your county who's handling the child support for the Department of Justice. The state also has an interest in making sure people disclose all of their income for child support purposes so this information may be useful in getting them to investigate and subpoena records.
You need to clarify your question as it is unclear and difficult to answer? If you are asking whether the circuit court judge can make the father provide certain documentation for proof of income in order to set alimony and child support, the answer is yes, you should provide the details to the court and request the father be ordered to provide this information, if he does not the court can make certain orders and sanction or fine him.
Your issue is unclear.
I agree with my colleagues - your question is unclear.
You appear to be asking if a trial court judge can require someone to produce evidence of income.
Typically, the burden may shift to you to conduct discovery, which may involve sending a subpoena to his employer for his last three paychecks and his W-2.

LBBA Hosts Film Screening, Discussion on Stories From Cabrini Green
On Thursday evening, Landon Bone Baker Architects was joined by Holsten Human Capital Development, Heartland Housing, Archeworks, and many others representing the field of community development in Chicago for a film screening of Sam Spitz's "The Greens," a 20-minute personal journey documentary he wrote, directed, and produced about Cabrini Green. The film starts when a white college kid sits down in a black barber's chair. As Sam and Teddy talk, they realize they spent most of their lives four blocks apart on Division Street–Sam at a private school in Pulaski Park, and Teddy on the other side of the Chicago River, in the high rises of Cabrini Green. Teddy offers to take Sam for a walk down his side of Division, and so begins a journey through time.
"The Greens" is a human story–not an overtly political or propagandizing documentary. Sam and Teddy–the main characters and co-producers–use the film to start discussions about everything from racial segregation, urban poverty, and mass incarceration to media stereotypes, gentrification, and the changing landscape of urban America. As architects, researchers, and educators committed to democratic design, our audience was particularly engaged on the issue of equitable planning. Landon Bone Baker Architects is currently involved in the redevelopment of Cabrini Green (Parkside of Old Town) and previously led a summer workshop (cityLab) to study the effects of urban design decisions on the community.
Landon Bone Baker Architects Honored as 2014 AIA Chicago Firm of the Year
Noted for their commitment to social justice and invigorating neighborhoods through urban design, Landon Bone Baker Architects (LBBA) has been named the 2014 AIA Chicago Firm of the Year. Established in 1991, the award recognizes a single firm's outstanding achievements, consistent excellence, and ongoing contributions to the advancement of the architectural profession.
"Landon Bone Baker Architects embraces the challenge of building for the neediest members of our society and accomplishes it contextually and sustainably on minuscule budgets…but with great architectural integrity," a juror said.
Driven by the credo that "good design is for everyone," LBBA has been improving the urban condition through incremental interventions in the cityscape since its founding in 1987. Principals Peter Landon, FAIA, Jeff Bone, AIA, and Catherine Baker, AIA, and their team work to produce buildings and plans that translate the principles of public interest design – a participatory design process meant to equate ecological, financial, and social costs – into reality.
The firm's portfolio includes the revitalization of numerous Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) developments, including Chinatown's Archer Courts, the Near North Side's Parkside of Old Town, and Greater Grand Crossing's Dorchester Art + Housing Collaborative, a transformation of the former CHA Dante Harper Housing Project and a collaboration with Theaster Gates and his Rebuild Foundation.
LBBA is "a Chicago firm, working in the local idiom, respectfully," a juror said. The firm employs an outlook that "not just downtown buildings will save the city," another juror added. This belief in the power of community-driven planning to enact equitable and livable design standards at the human scale is further evidenced by the neighborhood-based programs the firm runs.
The LBBA Community Workshop is a summer program for high school students and college-age mentors interested in design. The workshop provides an entry point for young designers to participate in community design and empowers local residents to affect their environment through the design process. Landon Bone Baker Architects has hosted five Lab programs through the LBBA Community Workshop to date: ShadeLab, airLab, airLab 2.0, and cityLab 2013 & 2014.
The award will be officially presented at the chapter's annual meeting and holiday celebration, to be held on December 8. Learn more about LBBA's firm culture and work in Newcity Design's recent article "The People's Architect" and by downloading the award-winning submission: FirmoftheYearAward_LandonBoneBakerArchitects.
West Humboldt Place Allows The Children's Place Association to Double Multi-Family Housing Capacity
Work has begun on West Humboldt Place, a new housing development on the West Side of Chicago to serve low-income families with disabilities. Located at the corner of West Chicago and North Drake Avenues, the new, three-story building will include 13 apartments on the two upper floors. The ground floor will provide supportive services for tenants as well as 200 other low-income children and caregivers from the larger community. Services will include case management, mental health counseling, job training, financial literacy instruction, and programs for young children.
"West Humboldt Place's combination of secure, affordable housing, and comprehensive services will help families improve their health, education, and economic stability so they can break the cycle of poverty," Cathy Krieger, President and CEO of The Children's Place Association, said.
AIA Chicago, Chicago Public Schools Partner for Girls Architecture Workshop
Last Tuesday, the UIC School of Architecture hosted 80 6th-7th grade girls from three area Chicago Public Schools for AIA Chicago's third annual youth and architecture event. LBBA's Terran Wilson and Maggie Jarr helped lead the girls in a model-building activity that aimed to spark their interest in architecture and design through an exploration of the house. Using the traditional Chicago lot as a site, "Yeah, I'd Live There!" asked the students to build a house of their own through a 3D exploration of program and living arrangements. Following a brief presentation on traditional Chicago housing (three-flat, bungalow, courtyard apartments) and non-traditional housing (contemporary designs), the volunteers guided the girls through the programming exercise, considering the needs of the student and her family. At the end of the half-day event, the students arranged their houses collectively into a Chicago neighborhood.
Chicago Botanic Garden Begins Horticultural Classes at Buffett Place
On Wednesday evening, the Chicago Botanic Garden's Horticultural Therapy staff welcomed community members to the first Community Engagement evening program hosted by the Fred and Pamela Buffett Place. Attendees gathered on the new green roof deck to participate in a spring bulb planting activity. During the session, participants learned how to appropriately plant, or "force," spring bulbs into the rooftop containers. These bulbs will hibernate over the winter and come spring, they'll bloom into beautiful displays of white and yellow daffodils. The collaboration with Chicago Botanic Gardens has allowed Buffett Place to provide a unique opportunity for healing, stress reduction, physical exercise, and learning for residents. Chicago Botanic Garden professionals enable participants to engage with elements of the plant world in a planned, individualized, and expertly directed manner.

Register for BuildingChicago/Greening the Heartland Conference
Next week, LBBA's Terran Wilson will join Zurich Esposito (AIA Chicago), Arathi Gowda (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill), and Marya Graff (Cannon Design) for a presentation and panel discussion during the 2nd annual BUILDINGChicago/Greening the Heartland Expo & Conference. "AIA 2030 Commitment: Creating a Culture of Change" will explore how the AIA 2030 Commitment is effecting the way we work, and the way we talk to our clients and consultants and promote our services. The goals of this panel discussion will be to relay the experiences of different types and sizes of firms who are signatories to the Commitment, explore the immediate challenges to meeting the 2030 targets, and potential solutions which may contribute to our success.
The group will also discuss how the Commitment is affecting the way we talk internally. How is the Commitment being received by firm management and project management? How does internal data sharing effect culture? Further, what are the possibilities for collaboration within a local design community, beyond firm walls? Most importantly, the panel will discuss whether the Commitment is causing a difference in actual energy performance and carbon footprints of buildings.

Local AIA Programs Advance Leadership, Mentorship Among Architects
To help architects take the extra step of being a leader in their community and engaging the public as a member of the profession, AIA Illinois and AIA Chicago are offering programs aimed at developing leadership skills and sharing experiences through mentorship. LBBA has participated in some of the local Illinois and Chicago chapters' most recent activities.
Earlier this month, Claudia Rodriguez, AIA participated in the biennial AIA Illinois Leadership Institute, a daylong event focused on empowerment training as part of a major call for civic engagement between architects and Illinois communities. Claudia was selected to join 38 other emerging leaders for the professional development opportunity. AIA Illinois was one of the first state components in the country to convene emerging leaders for a professional development opportunity, starting in 2004.
Additionally, Josh Mings, Assoc. AIA was selected to participate in this year's AIA Chicago Bridge; a leadership and mentorship program for young architects. Bridge is celebrating five years as the highly successful mentoring program sponsored by AIA Chicago, the College of Fellows, and the Young Architects Forum. The program incorporates informal social events and organized mentorship discussions focusing the conversation on past experiences, career development, and the future of the architectural profession. Throughout the program, the mentors and their mentees also meet in a one-on-one setting to informally discuss specific professional goals while further developing and strengthening their relationship. Peter Landon, FAIA will act as a mentor. This is his third year participating in the program.
Visit AIA Chicago's website to find more information on how to apply for these programs and to learn about other opportunities for community involvement.

How to configure intervlan routing between Cisco Catalyst Switches and HP Procurve Switches Series 2
In my previous post I did discussed about the how common terminologies are applied by both Cisco & HP, now it's time proceed further , in this example we will create two VLANs and make intervlan communication between HP Procurve Switches and Cisco Catalyst Switches.
We will create 2 VLANS in both Switches, as shown in the below table
Now let's see what configuration commands required to create a VLAN, and enable intervlan communication between HP Procurve Switches and Cisco Catalyst Switches.
How to configure intervlan routing between Cisco Catalyst Switches and HP Procurve Switches Series 1.
In this series of article you are going to experience how to configure VLAN trunking between HP Procurve Switches and Cisco Catalyst Switches.
Before proceeding further lest understand the basic terminoly applied by both Cisco and HP for the following things
When it comes to VLANs in Cisco every one thinks of the term TRUKING.
HP applies trunking for ether channel where as in Cisco it applies for VLANs
Let's compare how both vendors define Trunking
VLAN Terminologies applied by Both Cisco & HP

How to enable browsing with multiple subnets(VLANS) through Microsoft ISA Server 2006
Other day we installed Microsoft ISA Server 2006 for Internet Browsing as shown in the below figure.
The ISA Server has two NICS one is connected to the DMZ zone with a Real IP Natted to a Private DMZ Zone IP and the Second NIC is connected to the internal network.
Users were able to access the internet from the same subnet of the Windows ISA Server 2006 (10.0.0.0/23 with Default Gateway 10.0.0.1). But we were facing a problem with the users in other subnet they couldn't able to browse the Internet. So we checked the connectivity from the client to Windows ISA Server 2006 network and VLAN configurations in the Cisco Catalyst Switch. Everything was fine. But we couldn't able to ping the default gateways for all the VLANS (subnets). Finally we checked the event log in Windows ISA Server 2006 and found that the Windows ISA Server 2006 is dropping the packets due to a suspected spoof attack. Why should requests coming from a different subnet be considered as spoof? This is because Windows ISA Server 2006 believes that requests coming from any network which does not have a direct route mentioned in its routing table are spoof. So what is the solution? Quite Simple! Add a static route using the route add command.
Learn How to secure your Cisco router with Cisco's Secure Device Manager (SMD) Firewall Policy Wizard.
This document describes how to use the Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) to secure your Cisco router. The Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) firewall policy wizard can help make things easier for the first time users who are not comfortable with the Cisco CLI commands.In this example let's configure the basic firewall using the Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) firewall policy wizard. For this example a Cisco 877W router with an IOS version 12.4(4)T8 is used with SDM version 2.5.
Using the Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) Firewall and ACL task section , you can create new Firewall and ACL.
The Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM) offers wizard to create either a Basic Firewall or an Advance Firewall. Now you are thinking what is the difference? The Basic Firewall won't allow you to configure a DMZ zone where as the advance firewall does.
As we are not interested in creating a DMZ zone lets proceed with a Basic Firewall option as shown in the below figure A
Th below figure explains how the basic firewall Configuration Wizard applies its template policy to the inside and outside interfaces. The wizard will give you the opportunity to which interface is which. The new policy will inspect TCP, UDP and other protocols that travel from inside to outside zone. It will block IM, P2P, MSN, Yahoo and AOL IM traffic. It will also deny any unsolicited traffic coming on to the outside interface Figure B
Click Next, which will take you to the basic firewall Interface Configuration screen, as seen in figure B. This is where you can select which interface will be the inside and which will be the outside.
After you have made your selection, click Next. This takes you to the Basic firewall Security Configuration screen, as shown in figure C. Choose the level of Security for the firewall: High, Medium, or Low.
I choose Medium Security and clicked the preview commands button to review the commands this settings would apply.Figure C
When you see the output, you are pleased as you didn't have to type all those commands manually
Figure D
Click Next. This takes you to the Basic Firewall Domain Name Server Configuration Screen, as shown in figure D. Specify the primary & secondary DNS server, and click Next. The Firewall Configuration summary screen sums up our choices as shown in figure E. Then click Finish.
Figure E
After successful completion of the above mentioned steps you can always review the changes as shown in figure F by clicking Edit Firewall Policy tab

Step 2: Hold the MODE button (on the front of the switch) while you power on the switch.
Step 3: Hold the MODE button for a few seconds until you the System light stop flashing.Step 4: At this point, the switch should be in ROMmon mode. Step 5: From ROMmon mode, type: flash_initStep 6: From ROMmon mode, type: delete flash:config.textStep 7: From ROMmon mode, type: boot
At this point the switch will boot as normal with a new configuration and no password.
The best way to record the serial number for Cisco Devices for Remote support.
Imagine if you are accesing the remote router and need to figure out the serial number for a router or the Circuit IDs of the serial interface, then you may start looking your docmented data or call the remote technician to help you out in figuring these details. The best and easy way to get these details in matter of seconds is to put the serial number of each device in the Banner MOTD, and the circuit IDs in the serial interface descriptions.

A cool tool to solve layer 1 UTP cable issues in Cisco Catalyst Switches.
Here is a simple and cool tool for solving layer 1 UTP cable issues in a Cisco Catalyst Switches, the command used for this function is "test cable-diagnostics tdr interface"
Here is the example
MBGF-DAC-3560-AS01#test cable-diagnostics tdr interface gigabitEthernet 0/1
TDR test started on interface Gi0/1
A TDR test can take a few seconds to run on an interface
Use 'show cable-diagnostics tdr' to read the TDR results.
The Catalyst 2960, 2970, 3560/3560-E, and 3750/3750-E switches have an integrated Time Domain Reflector (TDR), which is used to test cables associated with a port. TDR is supported only on 10/100/1000 and some 10/100 (Catalyst 2960) copper Ethernet ports. It is not supported on 10 GigabitEthernet or SFP module ports.
A TDR test can take a few seconds to run on an interface. Use "show cable-diagnostics tdr" to read the TDR results.

To reset the Cisco Catalyst switches to factory defaults, you need access to the Cisco Catalyst Switch console through either a physical console or a Telnet connection. You also need the console/enable passwords. If you forget the console and enable password of your Cisco Catalyst Switch , you cannot reset the Cisco Catalyst Switch configuration to factory default to reset the password.
So you have decided to reset the Cisco Catalyst Switch to factory default settings or else to delete the complete configuration along with VLAN data, here is the easy way.Log in to your Cisco Switch, in global configuration mode issue the following commands
ITKE# write erase
ITKE # delete flash:vlan.dat
ITKE # reload
Here is the graphical snap shots I took while reseting the Cisco Catalyst 3550 Switch.
This snap shot is before reseting with exsisting configuration.
Now lets issue the following commands to reset the Cisco Catalyst Switch to factory default setting,
ITKE# write erase
ITKE # delete flash:vlan.dat
ITKE # reload
After reload you will see the following

Westinghouse: Kozloduy Unit 7 Price Is Below 10% Of Bulgaria's GDP
The estimated price of Unit 7 of Bulgaria's Kozloduy NPP would be below 10% of the country's GDP, said Westinghouse Electric in a statement.
According to Michael Kirst, Westinghouse Electric VP for strategic development and foreign markets for Europe, Middle East and Africa, the price of electricity, generated by the Westinghouse AP-1000 unit will be the lowest of all currently existing alternatives for electricity production.
Kirst's comment came in response to the Friday statment of Vasil Shtonov, Bulgaria's caretaker energy minister, that the total cost of building Unit 7 of Kozloduy's NPP would amount to over 15% of Bulgaria's GDP and the country would also have to shoulder the entire risk and the burden of financing it.

LINDA C. BLACK HOROSCOPES for 12/29/13
Today's Birthday (12/29/13). Love, prosperity and happiness repeat as themes this year. Your finances grow steadily with discipline, despite career changes after June. Spring romance builds into summer. Develop a partnership around common spiritual and philosophical studies and exploration. Reinvent yourself, shifting focus to what you care about most. Pursue healthy practices. Support your partner for shared prosperity. Follow your heart.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is an 8 -- It's a good time to talk things over. Conditions are better for travel. If something fails, build it stronger, and learn. Mercury square Uranus: Fantasy and reality clash. Liars face tough interrogation. Don't believe rumors, or fall for a trick.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- You're getting more interested in stability, as things seem shaky. Be frugal, count cash and pay bills today and tomorrow. Be gentle with a stubborn person. An old love may resurface. Don't ask for favors. Imagine the goal achieved.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Today and tomorrow are good for compromise and learning. In the middle of the chaotic moment, you're amazingly clear. But you also feel hypersensitive. Take care of yourself, and of your family. Dream about your perfect life.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Enjoy the refreshing comforts of home with new eyes. There's no need to go far now, as travel conditions could be challenging. You find glamour right around the corner. Use your experience and provide great service. Others ask for advice.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Stick to your budget. Revise your speech. A barrier is dissolving, or becoming less important. Heed the critics. Compromise is required. A new plan gets off the ground. You're in the spotlight. Postpone a romantic interlude.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Lean into the wind. Others admire what you have. Make your home more comfortable today and tomorrow. Your partner gets some great news from far away. Don't rush into anything. Finish an old project first. Things get exciting.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Listen to a voice of experience. Discover an error, as well as an unexpected bonus. Don't try a new trick yet. Water, paint or communication tools play an active role. Friends teach you the rules. Letters and emails arrive. Play your part.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Consider all possibilities. Study your work routine objectively. Bring more into your coffers for the next two days. Postpone a financial discussion. Contemplate the costs. Postpone buying toys. Check facts. Accept responsibility. Take notes, if necessary.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- You're winning a game. Share your secret inspiration. Today and tomorrow you're more assertive. Handle personal issues. Something you try doesn't work. Work on your budget, and aligning on priorities. Build savings. Remind partners why they're so great.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is an 8 -- Discover something you didn't see before. Conserve resources, but don't worry about the money. There could be a possible financial misunderstanding. Expect returns. Stick to the rules you've set. Keep to the plan. Alter to suit.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- Family comes first. This builds success for the group. Get their input today and tomorrow. It's possible to be objective. Watch every penny. Embarrassment happens, or confusion. Go for practical and durable. Visualize what you want.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is an 8 -- You're getting more attractive, and are especially brilliant at your work now. Abandon old fears; there lie monsters. Revise any vague statements. Revert to an old strategy. Friends are impressed. Finish the game without rushing. Play boldly.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 FIAT 500
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.1
The slick and sassy 500 anchored Fiat's 2012 return to the U.S. market, where it's become Chrysler's new small-car brand. It's easy to see the 2013 Fiat 500 as an Italian Mini Cooper: They're both small cars with big personalities and both have storied pasts dating to the 1950s. But they're very different cars, the 500 countering the Mini's superpower and sharper handling with lower prices, a more comfortable ride and superior fuel efficiency. For 2013, the 500 comes in eight model/trim configurations, including a convertible, two levels of up-power sport tuning, and a new electric version, the 500e (California only). All models offer opportunities for personalization.
Cool, funky, fun and unexpectedly refined, the 2013 Fiat 500 bridges the gap between the sportier, pricier Mini Cooper and the more pedestrian Toyota Yaris. If you like a little car with attitude, and hear the call of Italian style sensibilities, the Fiat 500 may be for you.
If you're not smitten by the style of the 2013 Fiat 500, you can get more car for your money in something like a Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta or Mazda2, all offering more doors, more room and more standard power.
Launched just last year, the Fiat 500 hatchback was soon joined by the slide-open-top 500c cabriolet, followed by the up-power Abarth version late last year. For 2013, a mid-power 500 Turbo model slides in under the aggressive Abarth, and a pure electric, the 500e, makes its debut, initially limited to California.
Driving Impressions Whereas the Mini Cooper is an undersized action hero – as in The Italian Job – the Fiat 500 is more likely to appear in a romantic comedy. The lightweight,...101-horsepower Fiat is definitely fun, just not in a car-chase kind of way. The 500 combines tiny car advantages with comfortable accommodations and a relatively smooth highway ride. The steering, brake and shift controls all have a quality feel, and the optional 6-speed automatic surprised us with its responsiveness. Obviously, the 160-horsepower Abarth model runs and drives a lot more aggressively, and the newly added Turbo model, at 135 horsepower, splits the difference in terms of over-the-road intensity. With an EPA-estimated range of 87 miles per charge, the electric-powered 500e delivers stronger acceleration than the naturally-aspirated 500s, and the quietest operation of the entire line. In any form, the 2013 Fiat 500 is tiny and quirky until you drive it. Then, it's tiny, quirky and respectable.
The 500c's dual-layer power top cycles in just 15 seconds and can be deployed at speeds up to 60 mph. The folded top stack automatically slides up into an "easy-access" position when you pop the decklid. Unfortunately, it also hampers rearward views.
Plug a USB memory stick into the Fiat 500's glovebox-mounted USB port and the car will upload onto it a variety of trip details including carbon dioxide emissions information. Plug the memory stick into your computer and you'll get personalized tips on how to improve your driving efficiency.
The Fiat 500 is roomier up front than you might expect, and just as tight in back as it looks. If you will transport more than two adults on a regular basis, we'd suggest a larger 4-door alternative. The interior style lives up to the promise of the quirky but fashionable exterior, and we found the materials, build quality and seat comfort impressive for a car with a starting price around $16,000. As the athlete of the group, the 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth offers aggressively bolstered front seats, exclusive red seam stitching and a thick-rimmed, flat-bottom steering wheel.Exterior
The 2013 Fiat 500 is a modern interpretation of 1957's tiny, rear-engined original. Although larger than the original, it's still seven inches shorter than today's Mini Cooper. The iconic sloping rear end is a big part of the 500's personality, though it limits rear headroom. For 2013, the Fiat 500 is available in eight distinct models and trim combinations: The hatchback offers Pop, Sport and Lounge trim levels, while the soft-top 500c comes in Pop and Lounge. The new Turbo, Abarth and 500e electric are their own packages. Wheels, fascias and body trim differentiate the models.
The 2013 Fiat 500 and 500c Pop include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 15-inch covered steel wheels, a 5-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, cruise control, power window/locks/mirrors, Bluetooth, and a 6-speaker audio system with a USB port for portable music players. The range-topping Abarth variant includes a Bose premium audio system, 16-inch alloy wheels, sport-tuned suspension, and a leather-wrapped dashboard. Standard safety features include seven airbags, hill-start assist to help prevent vehicle rollback on steep inclines and seemingly all the other advancements we're seeing on new cars in this price range and beyond.
A fully loaded 2013 Fiat 500 Lounge includes a 6-speed automatic transmission, leather seats, heated front seats, rear parking sensors, Bose audio system and automatic climate control. The 500 Sport model is differentiated by a sport-tuned suspension, 16-inch wheels and a variety of aesthetic touches including red brake calipers and a subtle rear spoiler. The new Turbo model adds larger front brakes and more serious suspension tuning to go with its specific 16-inch wheels and identifying trim. The mighty Abarth offers larger 17-inch wheels, 2-tone leather-trimmed seats and your choice of either white or red body side stripes.
The front-wheel-drive 2013 Fiat 500 is motivated by a small but sophisticated 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine using Fiat's patented MultiAir technology, which varies intake-valve timing and lift. Fiat tunes this engine to three power levels: The base hatchback and cabriolet get 101 horsepower (naturally aspirated), the new-for-2013 Turbo makes 135 horsepower and the Abarth, also turbocharged, cranks out 160 horsepower. The new 500e electric is rated for 111 horsepower and 147 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers may look modest, but they only have to move some 2,400 pounds of car. Most of the 500s offer the choice of a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, but the turbocharged engines get only the 5-speed manual gearbox. We like the automatic for its extra ratio and responsive shifting though it does cut fuel efficiency by more than 10 percent. The 500e uses a single-speed automatic.

"It's zippy, it's reliable, and I can park ANYWHERE. The design is spectacular, everything is within reach and easily visible. Very fuel efficient, as well. I haven't had any issues with this car, despite others telling me it's a bad car or I shouldn't have bought it. I couldn't be happier. It's really fun to drive, easy to shift, and steering is a charm. It handles very well. There are only a couple things I would change, and those are very minor. i would have the windshield wipers be more of a variable speed, and I would add a mirror to the passenger visor. That's really it. It's tiny, so the noise is louder than other cars, but it's also lighter. So there is the tradeoff. If you like small cars and being able to park anywhere, definitely consider this Fiat."

"Here's my story: I just graduated from college and got a nice job, and I wanted a nice car to reward myself after 4 long and hard years in college. I thought a Fiat 500 Abarth was perfect - I don't need a ton of space, I wanted a car that was fuel efficient and fun. So I bought a 2014 Fiat 500 Abarth - fully loaded - in June 2014. And it is fuel efficient and fun. By the end of July I noticed the side skirts were coming unglued and there was a funky noise in the door when I was driving, and when I shut the door with the window partially open. I took to the dealership - fixed! Not quite, the door still made noise when I was driving, the window started ticking, the dealership still had to order and install the side skirts, also new noises developed in the rear of the car, the sunroof, and the dash. I took a few weeks after that first repair - when the side skirts were ready to be installed - and mentioned the new noises along with the stuff that needed to be fixed a second time. They said it was fixed, and it was for about 10 miles - then all the problems reappeared. The new side skirts were coming un-glued, the noises in the door and window were back, noises in the rear of the car, noises in the sunroof, and now water in the taillights - yay! Took it back to the dealership, they found that the rear seat frame was crooked (takes care of the noise coming from the rear), the taillights were replaced, they used foam tape to fix the noise in the dash, the screws that held the window were loose, the glass was replaced a second time, the side skirts were re-glued, the sunroof was re-aligned, and they found that the water shield inside the door was missing! They took 16 days to fix (got to drive a nice rental that smelled like a garbage truck), and I picked it up last week. Now the taillights still have moisture in them, there is a new noise coming from the a-pillar (yay!), and the original noise from when I shut the door is back. Please, please, please go buy yourself a Toyota or something else with quality. You may be bored, but you won't have $30,000 of regret in your garage."

"I was tired of the expense of sports cars and wanted something with personality if I was going to get an economy car. My wife hated the Abarth and I hated the seats in it. The naturally asperated models had too little horsepower. The 500T was brand new and they just got their first two on the lot. The only option I don't have on it is a sunroof. I love the car! I get between 28 and 30 mpg in the city and in the low 30's on the highway (although the mid 30's can be achieved if you don't mind staying around 65). The car is surprisingly comfortable, the Beats audio sounds good, and it is a blast to drive. You can buy other cars cheaper, but none have the personality of the FIAT. Also, you will get lots of questions about it and lots of lookers. Especially with me being 6'2", 230 lbs. The Abarth is known for it's exhaust, but the Turbo has a great sounding exhaust also. It is aggressive without being as loud as the Abarth. The only complaints I have are that I wish it had a limited slip differential because it is easy to make the traction control flash when given gas while cornering somewhat aggressively (inside wheel wants to spin), that it could stream music via Bluetooth (fixed for 2015), and I wish it had a telescoping steering wheel, and the factory navigation is such an after thought (and not worth the extra cost). Otherwise I love it and it is one of my most favorite cars I've owned. And that is coming from a string of cars that cost twice as much. Oh, the 5 speed is fine for around town, but seems a bit low for highway. And I still look for 6th occasionally after 27,000 miles. Oh, and we had heavy snow (for NC) and the car went everywhere I wanted it to without any problems. Even around stuck cars."

"The Fiat gets a lot of attention wherever you go. It is fun to drive although it can feel a little unsettled when first entering a curve aggressively, but it holds well once planted. It sounds great and makes you feel like you are going faster than you are. I can get 43 MPG on highway if i keep it at 60 MPH or I can get 25 MPG when driven hard in Sport Turbo mode around town.. I average 30 MPG and normally get 38 MPG on highway trips. The white wheels are impossible to keep clean. I sometimes wash them everyday."

"I love my little car. People always want to ask questions about it and I can't stop saying great things. It's zippy and get good gas mileage. When I test drove it, I was surprised that it felt so solid for being such a little car! Didn't feel like a tin can at all. The car seems to have so much more space inside than you would think, although I don't recommend someone sitting in the backseat for long periods. This car is exactly what I was looking for...a small reliable ride that didn't make me feel like I was in a tin can, or had to give up some nice creature comforts just because I was getting a smaller car. It's perfect for me!!"

J. Period & K'NAAN - Belly Full (Bob Marley Tribute)
Artist: J. Period & K'NAAN
Featuring: Kardinal Offishall
Producer: J. Period
Album: The Messengers EP
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 14 votes )
"A hungry man is an angry man." may be the wisest words ever sung or spoken; in addition to being literally accurate (in my case, anyways), that adage neatly expresses a social truth that far too few acknowledge: when people can't obtain the bare necessities through honest means, violent crime and unrest are inevitable. This update of Bob Marley's Them Belly Full, included on a newly-released digital preview of J. Period & K'naan's forthcoming remix EP, The Messengers (a project discussed in K'naan's recent video interview with DJ Z), finds the renowned DJ and the Somali-Canadian emcee joining forces with Kardinal Offishall, Steele, and West African hip-hop artist Bajah to bring that sage message to today's listeners (and serve up a little wordplay-driven braggadocio along the way). If you're digging this reimagining of a reggae classic, stay tuned—in addition to the freely-downloadable preview released today, K'naan and J.Period will be dropping digital leaks featuring remixes of cuts by Fela Kuti, Bob Marley, and Bob Dylan (in that order) on the first three Tuesdays of September, before releasing the entire project, complete with bonus tracks, on Sept. 22.

Gems of the Little Flower
The image above is my favorite of St. Therese of the Child Jesus, St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, whose feast we celebrate today. She's also one of my favorite saints. People sometimes say that we do not pick our patron saints, but rather they pick us, and so I do her no honor, but she honors me greatly, by definitely being on my "short list." I had the great honor of being allowed to take a course for which I lacked the prerequisites, entitled St. Therese and the Sacred Scriptures. The consecrated virgin that taught the class makes me think of St. Therese, as I read her. The woman, both women, were both tough and tender. A couple of thoughts about the image of the saint, and about the saint herself. Then I'll leave you with some of my favorite of her bits of wisdom. I'll try to share stuff that isn't commonly found.
Here's what I like about her image:
St. Michael and His Prayer
Today is the feast of the Holy Archangels, which supplants the older feast of St. Michael, celebrated individually.
A few things:
1. St. Michael isn't a saint in the same sense that the Virgin Mary or John Paul the Great are saints. He was never a human being. But he was saint in the meaning of the word in French, the language from which the word comes to English. In French, saint is an adjective that means holy.
2. The name Michael means, in Hebrew, Who is like God? and the the legend is that gets his name from his defiance of Lucifer's rebellion.
3. We think of archangels, among whom is numbered St. Michael, as being the greatest of the angels. In fact, medieval theologians like St. Thomas ranked the archangels pretty low. Angel means messenger and an archangel is a lead messenger, a messenger with a very important message, like Gabriel's to Mary. If your average angel is an enlisted soldier, an archangel might be a sergeant. By contrast, Lucifer counted for much, much more: say, a five star general.
4. The incarnation of the Son of God in the person of a baby, the child of a peasant, is the beginning of a revolution on earth that overturns the whole order of hierarchy not by destroying it, but by filling it with a new spirit. Kings are not to lord it over peasants, but are to serve and lead them. The Sermon on the Mount, which calls blessed the states of meekness and sorrow, which tells us not to worry about our livelihood, is a sort of manifesto of this overturning of the old way. But the first steps in the new way of life come in the proto-history of Michael and Lucifer. Lucifer, a powerful and lordly spirit, leads an insurrection against the Blessed Trinity. Michael, a messenger spirit, stands up for God, defying Lucifer, challenging him, "Who is like God?!"
The Rotherham Canary
Miners used to carry canaries in cages to alert them to rising levels of noxious fumes in the mines. The canaries would stop singing, and then perish, as the levels of fumes rose. In like manner, a bellwether is a sheep with a bell tied to its neck and that is set in the first position in a flock. The other sheep are able to follow it by the clanging of the bell, and its bell also alerts people nearby to the flock's presence. Both the bellwether and the canary are signs of things to come. They are signs of the times.
You might not heard of Rotherham, in South Yorkshire in the north of England, and for that you can be excused. It is a small city of about one quarter of a million souls. Think of Lincoln, Nebraska, or Durham, North Carolina. Very nice cities, to be sure, but not the sort of places you'd expect people in England to have heard of. But lately, a situation has exploded in Rotherham that will explode the West, or at least be one of the blasts involved in the exploding West. Our media has not gone on about it very long, because it does not tell the story that they like.
Rotherham is our canary. Rotherham is our civilization's bellwether.
In brief: the police in Rotherham seem to have spent the last fourteen or fifteen years studiously looking the other way from a variety of crimes that had three things in common.

Have you ever really had one of those shocking shockers that just shocks you in a way that you never expected to be shocked? Well, this might be one of them.
We've just had Pentecost. We are back to Ordinary Time, and Fridays abound. In fact, we are coming up on one. Not Fridays in Eastertide, or the Friday after Christmas, but just a Friday. And you know what that means? Well, maybe not. So let me try to break it to you gently, in case you don't know. Well, heck. No. Here goes.
No meat on Fridays.
Whaaaat?! Isn't that only in Lent?
Nope. It's all year long, baby. It's kinda one of those everyone-thinks-but-it's-not-true things that Catholics no longer have to abstain from meat on Fridays. Don't believe me? Read these canons from the Code of Canon Law (1983), which is the law of the Church in effect now (emphasis mine).
