Review of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
Reinvented and refined over the last few years, the well-rounded Mercedes-Benz C-Class stands as one of the best picks in the highly competitive compact luxury sport sedan and coupe segments.
- Safety
Meticulously engineered and constructed; refined ride and handling; excellent brakes; rip-roaring C63 AMG model.
Smaller and pricier than some competitors; C250's lackluster performance; limited availability of all-wheel drive.
What's New for 2014
Every Mercedes-Benz C-Class gets a split-folding rear seat for 2014 as standard equipment. The C350 also gets standard 18-inch wheels in place of 17s. For the C63 AMG, a new Edition 507 performance package debuts.Read full review of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

This experience should not be confused with and is very different from the fully guided Canopy Tour.
Treetop adventure parks are the newest imported adventure to hit the US. Following quickly in the footsteps of zipline canopy tours which jumped to the US a short 6 to 7 years ago from Costa Rica and the Caribbean, adventure parks have gained tremendous popularity in Europe with thousands operating in Sweden, France, Belgium and Germany. There are only a handful in the US at this time and none of this scale and style in North Carolina.
Asheville Treetops Adventure Park includes 51 unique climbing, zipping, walking, jumping, swinging and rappelling challenges anchored to over 30 trees and towering poles tucked in a wooded area. The park has 4 trails to choose from including 1 easy "Green" trail, 2 intermediate trails, "Yellow" and "Orange" and 1 advanced "Red" trail. Each "Trail" includes 10 to 15 different challenges to complete the circuit.
Corporate gatherings, birthday parties and other special groups can be arranged in advance.
NEW & OPEN for 2014!
Treetops Blue Course: Similar to the Green Course, this new feature is designed to give our younger audience a few more challenges during their visit to the park.
KidZip Park*: Families with younger and/or lighter kids are always looking for something to do together. Our KidZip Park is the answer, designed for 4-10 year olds and those too light (<70 lbs.) to zip on the full course. The KidZip park features nine lines and four climbs between eight and forty feet above the ground. (Separate activity and additional charge)
TreeQuest Park*: For group reservations only, the TreeQuest Park is a blend of rock climbing and tree climbing. It features twelve different climbing routes of various skill levels in six different trees. Perfect for birthday parties, youth groups, and other groups to come out and have a climbing area all to themselves. (Separate activity and additional charge)

Blue & Green Trail: Easier challenges 12 to 15 feet above the forest floor for first timers, younger children, and more timid adventurers. No climbing once on the start platform, milder and more stable crossings attached to the lower trunks of the trees with minimal movement and an easy finish back to the ground. Ages 4-9 with Adult escort.
Yellow Trail: Heights up to 30 feet above the forest floor providing several climbing challenges and increased exposure to moving elements. The Yellow trail introduces climber to the first zipline in the park: the Hand Glider Exits include a rappel and a cargo net escape. Yellow Trail- Ages 7+, 7-9 with Adult escort
Orange Trail: Similar to the Yellow Trail, the Orange Trail has fifteen elements instead of ten and includes most of our Asheville sports and fun elements such as the skyak, zip-n-slide, and pony zip. Min. age 10, Ages 10-12 with Adult escort.
Red Trail: Prepare for adventure, personal challenge, and lots of exposure with trees swaying and structures moving as you traverse the highest and most physically and mentally challenging activities in the park. At heights up to 45 feet above the forest floor you will climb numerous times as you gain elevation and reach the pinnacle of the park to face the Tarzan traverse, tree top climbing wall, firemen's pole, dancing hula hoops, and bottomless Burma Bridge. One of our most challenging crossings, "Hole 13", and most exhilarating, "Big Air" snowboard zip, complete the 15 element Red Trail with a rappel back to the Sweet…Solid….Stable ground.

November 28, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - A vibrator giveaway that attracted long lines in New York City came to an abrupt end when the city told the promoters to pack it up.
The Trojan condom company set up "Pleasure Carts" on Wednesday in two Manhattan neighborhoods, and were set to give away 10,000 vibrating sex toys. Nearly 300 people had lined up at each of the hot-dog-style carts.
According to the New York Post (http://nyp.st/Rs0xXl), the giveaway was interrupted when a city representative told the promoters to shut down because of crowds.
One of those on line, Melody Henry, grumbled that Mayor Michael Bloomberg "doesn't want anyone to have fun. You can't have a giant soda, You can't have a vibrator."
The city says the promotional event could resume at a later date with proper permits.

Fireworks pollution
The new Michigan fireworks law does untold damage to the environment, wildlife, pets and our personal right to quiet and safety in our own homes.
On July 7th and numerous times, between late June through September, I have been jolted out of bed by neighbors setting off extremely loud fireworks – the kind used in public displays.
I have had to rearrange my life to accommodate my neighbors "fun." This includes getting my dog up to the house and into a closet at night before the fireworks start, which is always a guess. Then waking him up after midnight to pee because he was too scared to pee on the way to the house.
I have had to remain up till after midnight on evenings when I was not feeling well or just needed to sleep because I work long hours. I have heard others say that their children are scared awake in the middle of the night from neighbors fireworks.
Veterans with PTSD call the 4th of July "a day from hell." Deer are reported to have miscarriages from fear after explosions and I can't imagine the pain of birds or bats with sensitive hearing, not to mention the toxic heavy metal smoke from the fireworks that they are forced to breathe which can cause digestive disorders, cancer and asthma attacks...
British soldiers didn't take Mackinac Island entirely by surprise 200 years ago, though they may as well have.
When the British invaded on July 17, 1812, they found the Americans unprepared because news of the war had not yet reached this frontier outpost, even though President James Madison had declared war on the British a month earlier.
It didn't take long for police to make an arrest after someone broke into a shooting range in May and made off with five semiautomatic handguns.
Break-ins that involve stolen handguns tend to get a lot of police attention, and this one was no exception.

main index
"Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. What deafness then, might we not all possess? What senses might we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear a whole other world around us?"There are just some things that normal people don't seem to notice. In some settings it's because they just don't seem to want to see it. In some it's because it's just not their problem. But then there are the settings where they don't notice because they literally can't: The supernatural creatures just can't be seen in the first place without having some supernatural power of your own. Whether it's psychics being able to see ghosts or wizards being able to see magical creatures, the one thing that stays the same is that the normal people just can't see what's really going on. Sometimes this is accomplished by innate ability, or sometimes it's a spell that keeps them hidden. Sometimes it's because they just aren't in phase with the rest of the world, but the end result is the same. This trope can often aid the Masquerade. When it goes down, expect someone thus hidden to ask "You Can See Me?" See also Blind Seer, Plausible Deniability, No Big Deal, Bystander Syndrome, and Weirdness Censor (which are the standard explanations to why this works). This trope is a subtrope of By the Eyes of the Blind, and sister trope to Invisible to Adults. If the invisibles are ghosts or similar undead figures, you get I See Dead People.

Sacha Baron Cohen was allowed on The Oscar Red Carpet as "The Dictator" Admiral Aladeen, his latest movie character, and was being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest when things got ashy.
The Dictator was carrying around the ashes of Kim Jong II, the former North Korea dictator that died late last year.
Ryan seemed in on things as they talked about socks from K-Mart but as they talked about the urn and spilling it over Halle Berry's chest, it was spilled over Ryan and his tuxedo.
Ryan didnt' seem so pleased when his co-hosts deemed him to be lucky to be chosen by Cohen for the prank.
Ryan had this to saw on Twitter shortly after: My mom always told me to pack two jackets for red carpets, always wondered why. Now I know.
Check out the live TV moment above.-DocFB


text: Defense Company, 530 Jobs To Leave California Print article Send a Tip by Daniel Nussbaum 16 May 2014 post a comment Pratt & Whitney AeroPower, a subdivision of the defense contractor that makes auxiliary power units and expendable turbojet engines for military aircraft, announced on Thursday that it would be moving its San Diego facility to Florida, Georgia or Texas, according to a report from the San Diego Union-Tribune. The facility employs 530 people, although it was not immediately clear whether the company would send some or all of the employees east. Pratt & Whitney spokesman Ray Hernandez issued a statement explaining the move: This decision, while a difficult one to make, is necessary to maintain our competitiveness in the market, further leverage Pratt & Whitney's network and best position the company for the future. The company realizes the impact this realignment will have on employees and we are committed to supporting those affected during this transition period. According to the report, Pratt & Whitney had an operating profit of $1.6 billion in 2013, on revenues of $14.5 billion. The company has 31,500 employees, of which about 15,000 work in the United States. However, the company laid off 400 workers in August, including 200 at the company's corporate headquarters in Connecticut. Pratt & Whitney is reportedly struggling with the United States' decreased military presence in Afghanistan. The defense contractor is just the latest in a long list of California companies fleeing the state. Late last month, Toyota announced it would move its operational headquarters and 5,300 jobs to Texas, and Hollywood film productions have all but abandoned the Golden State.

Knossos Incredible Village House Pr Pool-All Year!
Villa | 3 bedrooms | sleeps 7
|Key Info
(Approved by the Greek Board of Tourism, license code:1039K10002969801)
Are you familiar with terms like: 'rare opportunity' and 'for the select few'? Not as a selling gimmick but more as a real chance to experience something positively different than most other travelers will. If you are familiar, then you should recognize one when you see it.
Have you ever stayed at a traditional Crete Villa house before? Not any of those properties for the tourist hordes, but a real 200-year old renovated villa house, made of stone and old wood - not bricks and cement. Normally you shouldn't have. Crete people rarely open their country houses to others, they keep them to themselves and their loved ones; they have different properties that can be rented by travelers. But you may have visited such a house by accident, if any local person ever invited you to a meal or a wedding celebration.
Photos will only give you a small part of the whole experience in staying at this villa house, because most of the experience can't be framed in a snapshot. How can any photo tell you that you will be staying at a village whose origin can be traced back 2,500 years? Or that it enjoys one of the finest climates on the island? Even give you a hint on how the air smells in the morning and early evening. Or pass you the feeling of peace and tranquility in a beautiful village surrounded by hills and olive groves? Or the smell of the house's interior?
And then it's the ease of access to it that makes it a great candidate for accommodation. An ideal location for those wishing to explore the island because as we say: 'it is close to everywhere'. But it is also a great spot to stay for those who come for Business.
Just 20 minutes from Heraklion Airport (don't worry; you won't hear any planes passing over your head!) the Port and the Center. But close to Rethymnon (60 min.), Chania (90 min.) and Sitia (90 min.); the palace of Knossos is just 7 miles and so is the closest beach. And just 20 min. away from Crete Golf Course.
The village of Archanes is beautifully organized with everything you may need for your stay; you will find banks, grocery stores, taverns and everything else at walking distance from your quiet neighborhood. The house is ideal for you whether you are a group of people, a large family or a smaller family, even a couple. And we arrange it to be an exact fit to your stay, no matter if this means extra "chez long" resting chairs around the pool, or a baby cot, or whatever is necessary.
What's in the villa house? Three beautiful double bedrooms (one of them has a single bed too) two bathrooms (one with bath tub the other with a shower cabin) divided between the two floors of the house. Great furniture, a beautiful living room that connects to a smashing-looking, fully equipped and very functional kitchen and the veranda – deck with the private pool and the barbeque.

The state's best spiritlines will be locked in their annual fierce competition Friday, Feb. 21, through Saturday, Feb. 22, in downtown Phoenix.
Meanwhile, one of the state's up-and-coming spiritlines, under first-year Sedona Red Rock High School Head Coach Katarina Crawley, will be spending that time in Sedona preparing for the St. Patrick's Parade.
"I'm excited to go, but we didn't feel like we were there yet," said junior Zoe Rodriguez, co-captain of the Scorpions Spiritline and the only non-freshman on the team this year. "The talent and timing weren't there quite yet. A lot of parts weren't in place. We'll be there next year."
Instead, Rodriguez and freshman Annie Koepke will lead local spiritlines — including the cheerleaders from Big Park Community School and West Sedona School — into the Sedona St. Patrick's Parade on Saturday, March 15. The 44th annual event will begin at
10:30 a.m. at Jordan Historical Park in Uptown.
For the full story, please see the Wednesday, Feb. 19, issue of the Sedona Red Rock News.

Authentic Japanese Ramen Recipe? Anyone??
- v
- vicvicvictoria Jan 3, 2008 04:44 PM
My Dear Chowhounders,
I come to you for advice on making what I consider to one of the most delicious meals. My Google search and a sweep of this website's recipe section have left me unsatisfied. So many people love this dish! How can there not be numerous easy to follow recipes for it??
I'm looking for a recipe for authentic Japanese ramen. No "Top Ramen" or "Maruchun" now. I'm looking for recipes that include fresh noodles (well, just not "Top Ramen" noodles) and steps for making the broth. I'm also looking for places where I can buy the ingredients. I live in New York, but when I enter an oriental grocery stories, I have no idea which noodles to buy. For broths, I particularly love seaweed and miso broth. If anyone has any clues on this seemingly mysterious process, fill me in!
I am addicted to Men Kui Tei in the East Village, but I need to learn how to make this delicious dish myself, so I can have it anywhere at any time! If you know the ingredients and particularly where in the city I can buy them, that would absolutely fantastic.
Someone out there must know! Help!
Yours truly,
ramen lover
Hi -
When I lived in Japan, I saw two ways to make a traditional broth; with miso and without. For Ramen., choose beef, seafood or chicken. I DON"T eat beef so, for me it's usually chicken, even for seafood. Add Kombu (large Japanese seaweed) and let it soak in the broth as a flavor booster. Ramen is a noodle as you know but it can be made from rice or wheat flours. Winter ramens are ususally the heavier wheat flour noodles. Any oriental market (chinese, thai, korean, or Japanese) should carry them either fresh or dried. If fresh boil in plain water first just to get the starch out then add to broth. You can complement w/fresh chopped scallion, reconstituted shitake, egg drops, chicken pieces or seafood. Some ramens also have tempura added. You can also use miso as a base to chicken broth for a miso ramen. If you choose to use msio, buy white miso which is mild. (dark miso is strong in flavor). To add miso: I use a tablespoon and scoop into a small (tea) strainer and swish the spoon around in the strainer over the broth and slowly dissolve into broth. Small soybean particles will be left into the strainer. Disgard. Miso is heavy and will eventually sink to the bottom of the broth but, when you stir it will blend in again. Add again any of the above condiments and enjoy. If you want a beef ramen, use beef broth as a base and add very thin slices of your favorite meat. Pickled radish is a good accompaniment and also found in the oriental markets. BTW, NATTO, is a fermented soybean that is common to Japanese and eaten as a maki sushi or w/rice. The same product that miso is made from. Udon is another type of noodle that's in a soup - it's fat and white where ramen is thinner and egg is usually added. Fancy ramen may have green tea or buckwheat or other components added. Remember, fresh is best!
Hope this helps. Have fun eating:)
re: Kitchen Queen
I though that dashi + soy sauce + mirin were necessary ingredients to put in a Ramen. Am I wrong ?
I don't like to much instant bonito fish dashi. Do you know where I can find other flavours (which brands) and do you know a famous Japanese brand for Instant Ramen Soup ?
Thanks for your help !!!!!
Julien A
re: Julien.A
My understanding is that the broth for ramen is traditionally pork based, but there are different ways to make the broth, and tradition varies from place to place, even restaurant to restaurant. So, while some of the ingredients that make dashi might be used in a ramen broth, it's not usually strictly a dashi based broth, if that's not confusing. I've seen people flavor the pork broth with kombu, katsuoboshi and other dried seafood (shrimp, scallops, anchovies, etc.,) mirin, shoyu, salt, miso, and various combinations of all of the above. Some even use a combo of pork, beef, and/or chicken to make the broth. The variations are endless. I recommend playing around with what appeals to you to discover a favorite recipe. There's certainly no need to start with instant dashi.
I can ask my brother about instant ramen, as he's on the west coast where there are brands that aren't available here where I live in the midwest. Honestly, I've just given up on anything prepackaged and make my own, because what's available here isn't good enough, IMO. Depending on where you live, you might come to the same conclusion. ETA: I found the recipe in Hiroko Shimbo's Japanese Kitchen to be a good jumping off point for experimentation.
re: Kitchen Queen
Sorry I have an other comment.
Do you recommand to put natto directly into the ramen ? Or on top of rice ?
here is a link to a rather authentic shoyu ramen:
keep in mind that authentic ramen is a rather time-consuming process which is why instant ramen was called one of the greatest inventions of the last 100 years.
happy noodling!
i get my ramen recipe from here. it's got other great foods too. try it !
With the ramen noodles, to get a good texture, you're going to want to rinse them in cold water after cooking. I sort of massage the cooked noodles gently under the tap, to rinse away excess starch. This process is what gives them a bit of pull and spring which is much more appealing than simply boiling and draining. I don't actually find that fresh noodles are any better than dried when applying this technique, but of course, your experience and taste may be different.
You might like this blogger's recipe for Niko Niku Ramen, the broth is deep and the cha shu from scatch. Start at the bottom:
re: hazeyhazel
That tonkotsu looks good.
If anyone is interested in making the noodles from scratch:
Any luck in your experimentations with Ramen?
I posted once before my experience at http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/15602
To date I love making a Ramen from scratch with a beef based broth using ox tails... OH MY GOD it is the bomb and I place slices of incredible edibles like fried tofu cubes, fried salt pork sliced paper thin, and the best of all I smoke a chuck steak in my smoker after searing a nice crispy cross hatch of grill marked sear and then slice about an 1/8' inch thick...
Garnish with other classics like bean sprouts, sliced veggies, hard boiled eggs, thread thin shaved cabbage...
I like to have a lot of mushrooms in my stock of all kinds of varieties...
Noodles always made from scratch my pasta machine on the angel hair setting makes good noodles. I have learned that great noodles using lots of egg yolks and semolina flour with a alkali product I get at the asian market really is the bomb on in great noodles.
I have made many Ramens, chicken, beef, and pork all homemade and out of this world. I now want to make a some seafood variations... the possibilities are endless and in my pursuit of the authentic real McCoy of Pork Broth Ramen's I discovered that letting your self venture out of the confines of the classic soup bowl is a world of endless gastronomic delight inspired by the authentic classic.
Happy cooking....

Whitney combines a fascination with people and an obsession to communicate clearly with her goal of bringing user research insights to designing products where people matter.
Her first two books—Storytelling for User Experience: Crafting Stories for Better Design (with Kevin Brooks for Rosenfeld Media) and Global UX: Design and research in a connected world (with Daniel Szuc)—help practitioners keep users in mind throughout the creative process.
She's also passionate about civic design. As co-director of the non-profit Center for Civic Design with Dana Chisnell, she works with election officials on usability and design of ballots and other election materials. They publish the popular Field Guides to Ensuring Voter Intent, which provide researched guidelines in a handy pocket format. Their work is funded by the MacArthur Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, and the National Science Foundation.
Whitney is a co-author of two influential Brennan Center reports that show just how much design matters in elections. From 2004 to 2009 she was chair for Human Factors and Privacy for the Elections Assistance Commission's committee developing voting system guidelines.
Her interest in accessibility and civic design came together when she served as UPA's representative on the Access Board's advisory committee, drafting updates for the U.S. "Section 508" accessibility regulations. She managed an EAC grant for accessible voting technology that brought together researchers and election officials in a dozen projects, including the influential Anywhere Ballot and an OpenIDEO design challenge.

Book Description:In the Footsteps of OrpheusThe Life and Times of Miklós RadnótiZsuzsanna OzsváthA powerful account of the life, art, and tragic death of a 20th-century Hungarian Jewish poet."Zsuzsanna Ozsváth bring[s] forth Radnóti's life, his thought, and his passion with a depth of insight that is rare in a scholar. Brilliant, penetrating, and passionate, Ozsváth's book sets a new standard of excellence in Holocaust studies. It is a must for anyone who would approach the dark flame that burns at the core of the Event." —David Patterson, University of Memphis Miklós Radnóti, a young Hungarian Jewish poet, was shot by Hungarian soldiers guarding him while on a forced march from Yugoslavia back to Hungary during the final days of World War II. When his body was discovered and exhumed nearly two years later, a small book of poems was found in his coat pocket. These poems, together with the rest of Radnóti's work, solidified his reputation as one of Hungary's greatest poets. Radnóti shared the experience of many Jewish artists and intellectuals in Central Europe during the early part of the 20th century, but his poetry brings out a particular and personal view of the Holocaust in Hungary. His work plays a unique role in the history of Central European culture as some of the most beautiful poems ever written in Hungarian, as a voice against the rise of totalitarianism, and as testimony to the destruction of Europe's Jews. Zsuzsanna Ozsváth places Radnóti within the context of the political and intellectual history of interwar Hungary, situating him as an artist who is both a Jew and a Hungarian patriot. Her sensitive translations from the Hungarian lend poignancy to this tragic and forcefully told story. This account of Radnóti's life and work explores the sources of the poet's inspiration and imagery and restores it to its extreme times and places.Zsuzsanna Ozsváth is Professor of Literature and the History of Ideas at the University of Texas at Dallas, where she is also Director of the Holocaust Studies Program. She is coeditor and cotranslator (with Frederick Turner) of Foamy Sky: The Major Poems of Miklós Radnóti and Attila Jozsef's The Iron-Blue Vault: Selected Poetry.Jewish Literature and Culture—Alvin H.

My hunch is that the valves in that vehicle still haven't seated properly. Until they do, your mileage will be lower than advertised. Take it to a trusted tech for a check.
My hunch is that the valves in that vehicle still haven't seated properly. Until they do, your mileage will be lower than advertised. Take it to a trusted tech for a check.
Not much. It's a good car, but in comparison with what? The Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, Hyundai Genesis, the new Buick Verano. The Acura TL is now surrounded by competition. I shop around before settling on that one.
Of those, I'd go with the Chevrolet Cruze, but not the Eco version, considering that you drive 60+ miles a day. There's more to driving than fuel economy. Get one of the uplevel, four-cylinder Cruze models for more comfort, a better drive overall. Also, the Elantra is a good choice. I'd look at that one seriously.
Funny. Following that suggestion would at least eliminate road rage.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. What plans does Mazda have to solve their minivan's disappointing current fuel economy rating by applying SkyActiv technology on future versions of the Mazda 5?
Not official. But I have a hunch that, after some market exposure, which at this writing, looks like it will be mostly favorable, Mazda will introduce SkyActiv across its product lines. The technology does a marvelous job of reducing fuel consumption while, at the same time, elevating road performance.
It is sexy. I drove it in Vancouver through water, mud and rocks, up and down mountain trails. I'm impressed. It does not have much cargo space. Who cares? Buyers are as likely to haul heavy loads with this one as they are to risk damaging this pretty SUV by routinely taking it off road.
Thank you. Missed you, too. Technical problems setting up new internet system, which is why I came into the Post's downtown offices to work today's chat.
I think the Focus is made in Mexico. I'll check on the Fusion. But, who cares. A vehicle might be assembled (made) in Mexico. But it is designed in the US, Europe, with parts flowing from the United States and elsewhere. The Bottom line is that if a Focus or Fusion is priced higher than a Toyota Corolla or Camry (made in the United States, much to the chagrin of many Japanese workers) US consumers will buy the Corolla or Camry. We say that we want Made in USA, but the truth is that we'll buy anything from anyone or anywhere that offers top quality at the lowest price.
My top advertising picks:
Chrysler/Dodge, because those adds bring substance while speaking to the American spirit.
Ford, because those ads concentrate on the competitive quality and value of the prodct.
Mercedes-Benz, its M-Class ads do a darned good job of touting the product and speaking to consumer peace of mind.
Worst: Honda. It's current run of ads make no sense for the product or consumer appeal. Simply silly.
General Motors: Those adds need to put more substance behind the "Chevy Runs Deep" theme. I wish GM would man-up. woman-up and tell us much more about the product advertised. It's as if GM's outside advertising agencies don't understand that they are working for a car company.
I haven't driven it, yet. I think Lou Ann might have given it a go in California. But the Lady is off on another ride'n'drive today.
Congratulations on your expected new arrival! My mind immediately goes to the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which certainly has the space you family needs, and is reasonably fuel efficient (considering engineering, design, and use intent).
I find that ad silly, unattractive. But that ad is not trying to appeal to 64-year-old people who have reared families, gone to too many funerals, taken care of grandchildren, bailed out family members in financial crisis. It is aimed at young people, very young people, whose main concern in life is being cool while depending on someone else to pay for the Kia Soul; or who are trying to hold onto a low-paying job, or find one, to pay for it themselves.
No. And I'm posting this to let VW's US execs, as well as those in Germany, know that they have a longer way to go. Thank you for writing.
All of them, sooner or later. Cds are obsolete. Ratio stations can be had through a variety of portable, plug-in devices. It's a technologically new world.
Go with the Passat, preferably the Passat SEL, built in Chattanooga, Tenn., which largely is why VW can offer it for $7,000 less than previous models--no currency-exchange penalty, no trans-Atlantic transportation costs, and in Tennessee as through most of the South, no UAW. High quality inside and out. Check it out.

I have tweaked the functionality of Quiz in such a way that even if there are say 5-10 questions in a quiz, each question is displayed to the student at a time.
I have not done this using the settings of "question per page" but by coding all the question ids for a particular quiz in a temporary table and displaying each question one by one from the table.
Thus every time the student receives only one question on a page as set in the table, and when he refreshes the page, (staying on the same page) another question comes up.
But the problem is, only the last question in the quiz gets graded after clicking on "Submit all and Finish"
Maybe it is because every time the page gets refreshed, a new question loads up, and finally it only recognises that question in the end. The responses for all other questions do not get stored.
Right now I am kind of clueless so as to which functions or which files I should modify in order to grade each question. Can anyone please help me with this so as to how should I get a student's response on each question
Can something be done in order to save which ever option student clicks on the click event of radio button and save it is question_states or would this be fiddling around with existing functions meant for doing the same thing.
Please help as I at least need a right direction to proceed in further.

"I think every player wants to play," Claver said. "That's what we do. Of course I want to play and feel important to a team. I'm not asking to play 30 or 40 minutes, but I want to feel like I'm part of a team and that I can help the team win. For the moment, this season, I'm not doing it. But last season, like half of the season, I felt like I was doing it and I want to recover that competition everyday. Of course, if I'm still not playing [couple years from now], I will have to think of other options because I'm not going to be on the bench. I'm not a coach. I want to play. That's what everybody wants to do."
Claver has played a total of four minutes in three games this season. As a rookie last season, he averaged 16.6 minutes over 49 games (16 starts).

It's the last day of the Lil' Inker Designs October Blog Hop, so I'll be brief with the details:
- The blog hop starts at the Lil' Inker Designs shop blog and has a full list of all the stops along with details on the release.
- The last stop was Maureen's blog.
- We're giving away prizes to a few lucky commenters during the hop, so be sure to leave us a note.
- The new products are already available in the Lil' Inker Designs store.
My fist card uses the fun I'm All You're All stamp set and Speech Bubbles dies. Just a black center panel, laid over a white card base trimmed in washi tape, and brightened up with neon speech bubble die cuts. There are so many fantastic possibilities with this stamp set, especially when paired with the die cuts.
The largest Speech Bubble die is perfect for clean and simple cards, especially with some of the cute character stamps out there. Today I made my own character with the Eat More Donuts stamp set and coordinating dies and gave it a little Halloween flair.
The donuts are so cute, I had to use them on the limited edition Gift Card Holder die. This would have been perfect for all of the Dunkin' Donuts gift cards I used to give before I moved to a Dunkin' free state. (Well, there's finally one in LA, but I'm not driving 8 hours for a donut and coffee fix.) The little stitched flap on this die cut is the perfect place for a sentiment.
I made another gift card holder for the holidays, pairing kraft with gold and the Joy Word die released last year. I got the best results with this die using light weight card stock and patterned papers like this one.
Even better, most of the Big Christmas sentiment stamps fit on the inside flap of the gift card holder. And finally, a gift bag topped with the new Baubled Christmas Tree die cut from more brushed gold card stock.
I hope you've enjoyed the hop and all of the projects we've shared this week. I know I've had a lot of fun making them and even more visiting all of the designers blogs this week. The new products are all available now in the Lil' Inker Designs shop, the very last stop in this week's hop. See you again soon!

Strange, Art House type of film and definitely, not for everyone. Told in 10 segments, spliced together to form a feature, the film covers a hockey player's moral decisions in 1930's Canada. The segments were filmed in a fuzzy, flickering style to simulate the viewer looking thru an old peep show machine in a nichelodeon. This shoorting style, along with the surreal plot & characters, make the movie hard to sit thru in it's entirety, even though it's very original and inventive in it's presentation.

C.H. Robinson continues European expansion with Istanbul office
C.H. Robinson Europe, one of the leading freight forwarders in Europe, continues their European expansion by opening a new office in Istanbul, Turkey.
Turkey is one of the largest and fast growing economies in the world and Istanbul is home to thousands of companies of all sizes. Demand for logistics services in the region is rapidly increasing and with over 40 universities in the area, presents access to a large and talented workforce.
The Istanbul office will primarily offer international road freight services including both full and less-than-truckload transportation modes. With access to one of the largest contract carrier networks in Europe the team in Istanbul will look to expand that network by offering a wide range of freight options, quick payment, and automated communications. Leading the new office will be Gokalp Ertugrul, a native of Turkey and an employee at C.H. Robinson since 2006.
"Returning to Turkey and opening C.H. Robinson's first office in the country has been a dream of mine," said Ertugrul. "By providing flexible and personalized logistics solutions, our customers and contract carriers benefit by having access to a team specialized in the Turkish market and located in the country."
Through the company's proprietary technology, the C.H. Robinson Istanbul office provides end-to-end visibility, consistent business processes, and strategy-driven business intelligence on a local level while managing transportation and sourcing activities on a global scale.

Wiki Headlines
18th Nov: We've switched servers and will be updating the old code over the next couple months, meaning that several things might break. Please report issues here.
main index
Associated Student Bodies is an erotic Furry Comic book written by Lance Rund and drawn by Chris McKinley along with a number of guest artists, published in eight issues from 1998 to 2000, followed up by a number of pornographic portfolios between 1998 and 2005. It centered on Daniel King, a young lion who arrives at Leland College but discovers he's been placed in a nearly all-gay dorm. There, he is introduced to a colorful cast of characters and discovers his own same-sex feelings for a wolf by the name of Marcus Paxten (and, as it turns out, most other males in the dorm). The rest of the comic follows his journey through his first year in college, dealing with prejudices, stormy relationships with his friends, getting his conservative father to accept his sexuality and reconciling it with his religious faith... all while mixing in a healthy dose of porn, of course. Compare Circles, which is often cited as a Spiritual Successor but has none of the porn.Since its publication, ASB has become one of the iconic comics of the Furry Fandom, and has received a lot of praise for its themes, writing, artwork and... other qualities. There are quite a few furries who strongly dislike it, however. It's up for sale at the Rabbit Valley Web site, though many people have read it through the use of file-sharing sites and image boards.Chris McKinley has since become one of the most famous furry artists in the fandom, having drawn the follow-up erotic folios for the comic and written the humorous spin-off Queerman and unrelated but still gay-themed Coyote River for the anthology series Spooo Presents. He's also recently opened up an account at FurAffinity, to the delight of many ASB fans. (Warning: The page is NSFW if you have mature artwork allowed.) Lance Rund, by contrast, seems to have disappeared off the furry radar completely, even requesting that his page be taken down at WikiFur.Note: Throughout the eight issues, the main storyline is clearly separated from the stories that focus on Fanservice and (often) porn. So it is possible to read an intelligent coming-of-age story with very little gratuitous porn if you read only the first story within each issue and ignore the other two to four stories within the issue.

Frick Art Museum
Helen Clay Frick built this charming Renaissance palace in her back yard to give the people of Pittsburgh a chance to admire her art collection. It's a small collection—a Reynolds here, a Boucher there—but an extraordinarily rich one for its size. And in a city where the collective museum culture has decided that expensive admission fees are the rule, the Frick is always free.

2.1.6 (last update on Nov 21, 2014)
GPLv2 or later
Free Download
11 July 2007
You can use it to access and modify the files and directories on your server via FTP or direct file access.
eXtplorer runs natively under Joomla! 1.0 - 3.2 and can also be used as a standalone app.
The only thing I would wish for is role/permissions based front-end access so users could upload into a personal folder...
TIP: If I access my website via its IP address and log into the Joomla back end as an administrator role, then I can see the root of the server with eXtplorer - if this is your issue, log into the Joomla back end via the URL of your website and you'll see what you need to. It took me a while to figure that one out last year, but I got it on my own.
TIP 2: I downloaded the "com_extplorer_2.0.1.zip" and installed it as a module: no problems!!
When we install it now, it claims to have installed correctly. When we try to use it we get the infamous error which has been well documented here, in the Joomla forums, and which has been ignored by the developer.
Please note that we run Joomla on three different Linux server environments, one of which is cPanel. We tried every fix mentioned here or in the forums. Nothing worked. In fact, when we reviewed all of the setup issues such as file and directory permissions, archives that didn't get expanded, etc., in every case and on every platform, none of these issues was the problem, and nothing had to be changed.
Finally, we gave up and are now using ninjaXplorer, which we have discovered we prefer because it actually installs, works flawlessly, and seems to use less system resources than eXtplorer on the sites where we have used it.
In fact, we are uninstalling all working copies of eXtplorer and installing ninjaXplorer as we do our update to the latest Joomla 1.5.X.
Then I created my second Joomla website and eXtplorer was one of the first components I installed. The install seemed to work perfectly but upon trying to run the program I received an error "The ExtJS Library could not be found..." and the program terminates. I researched the problem on the developer website and found a few threads with others having this exact same problem going back to September 2007. There have been no solutions to the problem. By the way, the two Joomla installations are hosted on the same server with the same version of PHP and everything else is the same except the domain name.
For those of you lucky enough to have the program actually work... YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
I hope there is some sort of supports from the developer or at least a clear instruction on installation process in Readme.txt.
I am also now using the standalone script (link removed) and it is indeed the solution we were all waiting for when hosts do not have a Filemanager.
Highly recommended.

Jason Logan, 30, was charged with burgalry, public intoxication and driving on a revoked license this week, according to arrest reports. He killed himself while he was in Hamilton County Jail Thursday, according to authorities.Contributed Photo
The mother of a man who hanged himself in the jail last year is suing the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office for $300,000.
Suzanne Logan filed a wrongful death lawsuit May 4 in Circuit Court. The lawsuit alleges that jail staff failed to heed warnings that her son, Jason Logan, was a danger to himself.
The court documents describe how Logan, 30, used a frayed "flimsy blanket" torn into "noose-like strips," tied it to the steel mesh ceiling above the cell's toilet and hanged himself.
His body was found in the cell on May 5, 2011.
On Friday, exactly a year after Logan's death, Kenneth Wayne Darr, 51, also committed suicide in the jail, according to a sheriff's office news release.
Hamilton County Attorney Rheubin Taylor declined to comment on pending litigation when reached by phone Wednesday.
Logan had been arrested two days earlier on charges of seat belt violation and driving on a revoked or suspended license, according to court documents.
His criminal history in Hamilton County shows at least 40 charges ranging from DUI to theft, domestic assault and robbery.
The lawsuit states that despite a social worker's recommendation that Logan receive a medical review, drug withdrawal protocol and close observation, the inmate received none of those services.
Logan "threatened to kill himself or any cellmate if he was put into a cell with another inmate," according to court documents.
But he was moved from a single cell to a shared cell 12 hours after he'd made those threats.
Fourteen hours after his transfer, he hanged himself, the suit states.

text: In a message dated 11/6/03 12:55:06 PM, dreamer81465 at yahoo.com writes: << There are other types of needle "crocheting". Naalbinding and sprang among them. Netting is one of the oldest types of "lace" in history. We have no real proof of the age of crochet or knitting and it is a subject of great debate. Fingerlacing is an ancient form of lacing as is macrame. >> Lace is such a wonderful thing; it's taken on so many different forms and looks over the centuries. Almost all true laces evolved from openwork embroidery techniques, which is why so many of them look similar and include similar stitches. I don't think I'd categorize crochet, nalbinding, or knitting, as lace per se, though, although they all can be made with open, lacy designs that strongly resemble what we think of as lace. Crochet is made with a single hooked needle, nalbinding is made with a large single needle with an eye, and knitting uses sets of pointed sticks (two, four, five), and each one has their own unique stitches, structure, and appearance. In the 19th century many people made the mistake of thinking nalbinding was knitting, because they look very similar, so many early examples of nalbinding were mis-identified as knitting. As far as knowing when these techniques were created, it's completey true that no one knows exactly how old they are. We do have many extant fragments and items of both nalbinding and knitting, though, so that it's possible to have an idea of when people were making and using knitted and nalbinded items. There are a number of extant Egyptian knitted socks that date from the fifth century, and fragments of nalbinding have been found in Danish bog finds that date much earlier (I don't have the book in front of me so I don't know the exact dates). Rutt's book, "History of Hand Knitting" is a good place for information and some great photos of early items. I was very excited to come across a photo of a fragment of knitting that dates to the 14th century, it's stockinette stitch, crimson background with little green and cream birds marching in rows across it! I can't wait to finish spinning enough wool in the right colors to try it. (photo appears in "European Textiles in the Kier Collection") As far as sprang, I do know that examples of it have also been found in the Danish bogs, but I'm not sure on the date. What we think of as macrame was fairly big in Spain during the middle ages and Renaissance, and possibly later, the book "Hispanic Lace and Lacemaking" goes into some discussion of the fringes and macrame-looking decoration that appears in many Spanish manuscripts and paintings. I haven't done much reading on that particular form so I'm not sure about earlier examples, though. Levey's book "Lace: A History" is a great resource for the history and evolution of true laces, it's pricey ($150) but worth adding to your library if lace is your thing. Most of the images in the book are of examples that date from the 1600s on, so it's a treasure for anyone recreating the 17th, 18th, or 19th century. Regards, Gabrielle
