How exciting is Seattle?on May 3, 2013 @ 12:28 am (Updated: 6:02 am - 5/3/13 )
Dori writes...
I'm a Seattle native - born and raised on the mean streets of Ballard - and there are a lot of words and phrases I can think of to describe my city:
- Beautiful
- Spectacular waterfront
- Interesting variety
- Politically crazed
There is one word that would never come to mind when describing Seattle:
- Exciting
I have never thought of this as an exciting city. When I travel around the country, I am struck by how much more energizing other cities seem to be. I can think of at least a dozen cities I would consider to be far more "exciting" than Seattle.
Which is why I thought this list by real estate website movato.com was crazed - they listed Seattle as the fourth-most exciting city in the country. Even crazier, they listed Oakland as #1 - I was in Oakland last year - it ain't in the top 50.
But I'm certain Seattle isn't in the top four. They had us ahead of New York City, Chicago and Las Vegas??? I love Seattle, but there's no way we're more exciting than those cities.
Movato said their rankings are based on:
Park acreage per person
Percent of population between 20 and 34 years old
Fast food restaurants per square mile (the fewer the better)
Bars per square mile
Big box stores per square mile (the fewer the better)
Population diversity
Movie theaters per square mile
Museums per square mile
Theater companies per square mile
Music venues per square mile
What do you think? Is Seattle an exciting city? What cities would you rank ahead of ours?

Last chance to see Bridget Riley exhibition
19th May 2010
Bridget Riley: Flashback exhibition closes Sunday 23rd May
The Bridget Riley: Flashback exhibition will close at the end of the week on Sunday 23rd May at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
The exhibition is the first in a new series of solo artist's exhibitions from the Arts Council Collection. It includes the iconic work 'Movement in Squares' (1961), which Riley credits as the beginning of her breakthrough into abstraction. Since the mid-1960s Bridget Riley has been celebrated for her distinctive, optically vibrant paintings. The exhibition includes 30 works on paper mainly from the artist's own collection that are on show for the first time.
Councillor Martin Mullaney Cabinet Member for Leisure, Sport and Culture previously said about the exhibition:
"I am delighted that 'Bridget Riley – Flashback' is proving to be such a great success. It shows that local people have a great appetite for contemporary art and this is a great opportunity to see works by one of Britain's most important living artists."
The exhibition is in the Waterhall gallery and admission is free.

Beautiful area rug! Colors are exact as in pictures online. Great dealRECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I bought the reddish rug for under my dining room table. It is a burgundy color, beautiful and very contemporary looking. The quality is good; I did not buy a pad. The rug arrived rolled up tightly. After unrolling and putting it where I wanted it, I placed heavy books on the corners and the 2 shorter sides for a couple days and the rug lays flat and stays in place. It's a great looking rug at a good price and I'd recommend it to anyone.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I purchased this rug in red and I love it! It is just as it appears online and it is very soft. I have only had it a couple of weeks, but it seems like a good quality rug-I have vacuumed it twice and so far, so good! I would definitely recommend it.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I do love this rug - it is modern and well made. It goes well in my living room with my green couch. However, I probably should have gone with the darker background - I got the ivory with swirl of red and black. With two black dogs, I will be vacuuming twice a day! Still debating on switching colorRECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
great design in cream on brickish-red; got it as a hallway runner and a 5x7 to go under a pub-style dining set.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Not as thick as I hoped but colors are good and bright.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
My living room has a dark brown sectional, 3 white/gray walls, and a cranberry accent wall. I was unsure that this rug in red would match well due to the variation in the shade of red. However, this rug looks AMAZING in my living room. I purchased the largest size. It is soooo soft, a beautiful pattern, and a really crisp color. My dog even loves it-he prefers to lay on the rug rather than on the couch! I can't believe the quality of this rug for the price of it. I HIGHLY recommend. And the free delivery was quick as well. I will definitely buy from RugsUSA again, as well as from this brandRECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Love this rug so much I came back and ordered a second one. The graphic really pops and I have gotten a lot of compliments. When you have to put your house back together, it is great to have a web site that makes it easy and free shipping too! Thanks!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This rug just pops in our hallway and I love it! We are putting our house back together after Hurricane Sandy and this is what I see now every time I walk in the front door. I ended up getting a second one and they really make a statement in the hallway.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Rug durable and nice size and quality for a front door entry way. Will be pursuing other purchases of rugs from Rugs USA.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I ordered this runner in red and am delighted by the plush quality and that it complimented the existing rug nearby.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
We received the rug in a very timely manner. It is perfect for our new dining room. Looking for another one soon. Thanks!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This rug is beautiful. It exceeds my expectations. It looks like a work of art. I was concerned that it may not work with my black, cream and white recovered retro 1930 club chairs, but the colors are perfect. I purchased the 7'9" x 11' rug and the price and quality is superior to any rug store in our area or website I have found.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
The cream color swirls are not totally "cream"; they have some darker yarns mixed in so the rug is not as graphic as I thought it would be. But it lays down nice. Still think that it was a good price for this size!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
I received this rug a few days ago, & I must say I love it. I was looking for something to go with my new island & black barstools. I am using the rug in front of my kitchen sink, & it looks great! I have severals rugs in my home, but this is my favorite. It is very soft to walk on & looks far better than I expected. If you need a very nice rug, do not hesitate to get this one!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
This is an incredible rug. The picture on this page does not do the detail in the color changes justice. I was really surprised to find how high quality the manufacturing was. For the price, I honestly expected a mid tier throw rug. This is anything but that! RugsUSA was easy to order and had my rug to me in 2 days. I will definitely use them again!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Very happy with this rug! Fabulous quality at an unbelievably decent cost. Not only am I thrilled with my rug,but the customer service is super friendly and helpful. Will for sure be buying from them again!RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
great rug for the price. it's soft when you have a pad underneath, and it shipped very quickly.RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

McLaren may have to wait a while before they will be able to count on the services of Peter Prodromou.
The Woking squad announced over the weekend that they had signed Red Bull's head of aerodynamics Prodromou, who will return to McLaren having worked for them between 1991 and 2006.
However, his deal with Red Bull expires at the end of the 2014 season and the Milton Keynes outfit's team principal Christian Horner has made it clear that they are not planning on allowing him to join their rivals early.
"The duration of his contract runs for quite a while yet," Horner told The Guardian. "We are certainly in no rush to release him early and he will be with the team to the end of his existing agreement."
Meanwhile, McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh admits they are not sure when exactly Prodromou will be joining the squad.
"He has a contract that he will be working for us in the future," he said. "But currently he is employed by Red Bull and we have to respect that and that's why I don't think we're talking about time frames."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Learning to live with Type 1 diabetes isn't easy for newly diagnosed patients and their families. Especially when that person is just a young child; someone who simply wants to be a kid, play after school, eat candy, and do everything friends and family get to do without thinking about how it will impact his or her blood-glucose level.
That's why Diabetes Counts Network, a support group for kids living with Type 1 and their families, is putting on the Western Slope's first-ever Family Type 1 Camp Aug. 1-3 at Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je West (an existing kids camp located between Paonia and Aspen).
According to Diabetes Counts Network Coordinator Summer Turner, the inaugural overnight family camp is open to kids of all ages, parents, brothers and sisters, and it's meant to be both fun and educational. Activities include team-building exercises for families, a professional speaker, as well as time for outdoorsy activities (like camping, hiking, biking, swimming, etc.) Kids and parents will have separate activities, and programming will also focus on behavioral issues and how to deal with Type 1 diabetes in an emergency setting.
Turner, whose 13-year-old daughter Caid was diagnosed with Type 1 a few years ago, created Diabetes Counts Network with support from Community Hospital to help better serve Grand Valley children who are diagnosed with the disorder.
Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease which causes the pancreas to stop producing insulin (a hormone) needed to break down sugars and carbohydrates consumed throughout the day. To treat it, a variety of factors need to be addressed. Folks with Type 1 should test their blood-glucose level often, inject insulin daily through a syringe or pump, and participate in other healthy measures like maintaining a balanced diet and regular exercise.
People who have Type 1 experience issues that "are different but the same," Turner said. "It's nice to have (kids) share those differences and similarities together" for better understanding. "It alleviates mental stress to share with their peers."
Turner also said having a support group for kids and their families helps make everyone feel like they're not alone in dealing with the time-intensive and expensive health issue. So, in the family camp setting, there will be plenty of time for children and parents to share their experiences on a variety of topics.
"You get to see how other people deal with diabetes," she said, "and what you do may be different."
Because living with Type 1 comes often at great expense (medical devices and medications are costly, even with insurance), Turner additionally said money is being raised for a camp scholarship fund, food, activities, a speaker and more.
"Every family that comes will receive a $200 scholarship," Turner added.

Dame Eyola - I like Eyola. It does sound cute with Dame infront of it but I wouldnt recomend it
Persia - This might get confused with Persian.
Forever - I actually like this one but maybe as a middle name.
Illumination - I'd say no.
Heart - I like this one but I'd take the E out and have Hart (Surname) but i'd suggest this on a boy though.
Reminisce - How are you pronouncing this. I'd also recomend as a middle name.
Diary - I'd say no as people might get confused between being names after a Diary. Could also be said Dairy or might get called that.

I am sorry but I don't like any of those and I think they are too weird to use.I like simple yet versatile names that work well for the athlete, the comic, the genius, and the judge.

This is a joke right? They're all terrible. A Dame is a title here, a female Sir. I swear, If I was ever knighted I'd insist on being called Sir Ren instead because I hate the word Dame so much.
Persia is the old name for Iran, a diary is a journal and the rest are just words plucked from a dictionary...

Maaco Auto Repair in Federal Way,WA
Posted by
FEDERAL WAY., WASHINGTON -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident.
Dear Attorney General,
On 6/15/06 I took my car to Maaco auto repair on Pacific Hwy after my car was hit in our driveway (yes this is true) while my husband and I were on vacation. It has turned out to be a nightmare. The car was hit on the passengers side by a moped and the moped was drug down the whole side of my car. It obtained major damage. The man who hit me was not insured to drive the vehicle,for it belonged to his fiancee's family and his insurance did not cover him for the accident repairs. This is the reason I took it to Maaco to begin with. He had not wanted to get the other people involved.I knew Maaco was less expensive and the man told me he would pay for this out of pocket. To make a long story short I had to get my insurance involved amd he is being sued for the repayment of the damages to my insurance and for my deductible. The car panels look very wavy. Not smooth at all. The first look I had at the repairs were horrible. I told the estimator of the Federal Way Maaco that it looked really bad. He said they would do more work. I have contacted the main Maaco corporate headquarters and I am awaiting more help from them to let them know I picked up my car after the SECOND go around of repairs with not much difference.
I don't know what can be done about these people. They call themselves professionals and all they are doing is ripping off insurance companies and people in general.
I had mentioned to Peter Rogulj (the estimator at Maaco) that I was still not seeing much improvement. He said that this was all he could do and I should take this up with my insurance claims adjuster from Farmers insurance. He said it was her fault for not letting them do more work. But, I told him the 'wavy' look of the repairs on the panels of the car had nothing to do with her. It was bad workmanship.
I am at standstill. What can I do? 7/1/06
As a resolution, I would like the following:
Having Maaco so the right thing and fix the car properly.
Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.

NCO Financial
Posted by
EVERETT, WASHINGTON -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention
the following incident.
My son received a call at 7:15 this morning from someone named 'Jim' claiming to be from Verizon. My son explained that I was not home and took the man's name and phone
At 7:20 this morning I received a call at my place of business from some named Jim, who claimed he represented Verizon and was trying to collect a debt. I was very busy at that time and told him I would have to call him back.
I got home from work about 2 hours later and called this person back. He answered with his first name 'Jim did not identify his company.
He stated that he was trying to collect a debt for Verizon. I said okay that was fine and what kind of arraignments could I make. I did not dispute the validity of the debt with him, I had already disputed it with the originator of the debt. What I did say was that I didn't appreciate being called at work and at home so early in the morning and said that under both the Washington Collection Agency Act and the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts, he were prohibited from calling me so early.
The man began to scream insults and threats not letting me get a word in edgewise. He was screaming so loudly that another person in the room heard him.
At this point I was so frustrated I asked him to stop screaming and tell me what I could do to take care of this debt. He said and I quote 'there's nothing you can do... you don't know a d*&^ thing about the law.... I'll have you served with papers for court before the week is over... you'll be sued and your paychecks will be garnished and we will get our money anyway... You obviously don't want to work this out or pay your bill, so I'm hanging up now.'
I placated him enough for him not hang up and to tell me how I could pay this. I do intend to pay the debt, had I ever received something from the Collection agency prior to
this phone call I would have known I was out of options with the original company.
As a resolution, I would like the following:
I would like a formal complaint filed against NCO Financial and it's representative 'Jim' who's direct phone line number is 1-800-795-XXXX (I will be more than happy to provide you with the last 4 numbers if they are needed). I would like NCO Financial to be held accountable for their employees collection tactics as they claim to train their employees. I want them to be made to follow both the State and Federal laws in regard to collection practices.
Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.

I had a similar experience with NCO Financial Systems. They were collecting on an account on behalf of Cingular Wireless, not Verizon. They called me almost every day at work when I was about two weeks late with a payment. One morning last fall, I received a call at work. I forget the woman's name, but she said she worked for NCO and wanted to know when I could make a payment on my account. I was in a session with a patient and was really aggravated that she'd interrupted this session. I explained to her that I could not talk and that I'd call her back later in the day. That afternoon, I told her to refrain from ever calling me at work and, also, that I'd be sending a payment within a week. And this wasn't the first time I'd asked them to refrain from contacting me at work. Really, they have no legal right to contact me, or any other debtor, be it at home or at work. The next morning I got in and alreay had a voice mail. A man identifying himself as William ****** with NCO Financial Systems had left me a very sarcastic sounding e-mail. In retrospect, he may not have intended to sound sarcastic. It was probably that blue collar Philly accent of his that made him sound so obnoxious. (NCO, btw, is based in Philly.) Anyhow, I was livid. I also knew that I now had recourse. They were continuing to contact me at work, despite the fact that I'd asked them not to. I called William and gave him my account number. When I reminded him that I'd already requested at least once before that no one at NCO ever again contact me at work. When I began to remind him of the Fair Debt Collection Act, this spicy little bowl of Philadelphia spaghetti began to rip into me. I'm a therapist. I deal with neurotics all day long. This man was a lightweight compared to some of the doozies I've had to deal with. Every time I'd open my mouth, he'd try to batter me down. He called me names. I suggested that he get into therapy or take some courses in anger management. He became even hotter with me, calling me a deadbeat and accusing me of intentionally failing to pay my bills. In an increasingly calm voice, I again reminded him of the law. When I realised that he was not rational, I said good day and hung up. I called NCO back later that day at arranged a payment plan. The woman with whom I spoke was kind, understanding, and, above all, professional.

I just read the complaint against NCO Financial and wanted to let her know that I experiencced the same unacceptable behavior from a Robert Ellison at NCO. The kicker is that I am not the person they are trying to collect the debt from- it is my brother in law and we work in a family business together. This Mr Ellison has called our office several times in attempts to speak with my brother in law and has verbally abused not only myself but my employees. This is completely unacceptable and I thought maybe it was just one collector at NCO but it sounds like this is how they are trained. I cannot believe that a company would actually promote this type of behavior. I would also like to see a formal complaint brought against not only Robert Ellsion (I have his direct phone number as well) but NCO.
Thank you-

ROCK ON KERRY! Thanks for having the b*lls to put these a$$holes on the line. Every time a telemarketer or collector calls, I think they should have to give their personal name and home phone number. That way people can call them whenever the hell they want. NCO is going down for their sins and illegal activities. Power to the people!
Anonymous on 08/25/2003:
He's not a telemarketer selling something. They are debt collectors. I HE borrows money from YOU then yes, you should have his name and home phone. Since that's not the case here, your remarks are, well kind of dumb.

I received a letter from NCO stating that I have "chosen to ingnore our previous communications regarding the debt referred to above." Last I knew, these payments were set up to come out of my checking account automatically. This is my fault?!? I called to simply ask for a payment history, she said she would mail one. I asked when the last payment was she said Feb. (6 mos. ago). I asked why they stopped and she said that she's already answered that question for me before and all I keep doing is asking again and again and again....and that she's not going to tell me since she already has so many times. I said "so you're not going to work with me on this?" She said "We HAVE been working with you, you are the one not working with us!" I mentioned the dark and scarred track record of the company and told her that she needs to work with me to get this resolved. She then personally attacked me by screaming that I was the one with the bad track record and I was the one not responsible enough to pay their client the $3,500.00 that I owe them (which was the ORIGINAL amount that is less than 1/2 of that now). I screamed back that I did not need to and was not going to listen to that from her anymore and she said "this conversation is over...Goodbye!" I said "Yes, you're right, it is!" and I hung up. Somewhere in the midst of all of that I did get her to agree to send me a complete payment history report....we'll see if I get it or not.
Anonymous on 08/26/2003:
RChapa021503, why should the collection agency give you a copy of your payments. You know how much you owe left (they gave you a letter for the balance). It is your responsibility to know when your payments were made and when they weren't. And are you trying to tell me you never knew payments weren't coming out of your account? Are you that wealthy that you don't have to keep track of these things? Stop being so God**** lazy and do your own investigating. No wonder she ended the call on you.

NCO Financial Services has at least 2 other names they go by besides the obvious. Their sister company, Medclear/ NCO Cardinal Emergency Services
is currently reporting derogatory information to the credit bureaus for a debt that was discharged in a bankruptcy. The original creditor, as well as NCO Financial Services were listed as creditors in the BK. 2 years after the discharge, their sister company is now trying to collect on the same bill and Nikki Hartman- the NCO/ Medclear representative says unless I pay it stays in collections. This derrogatory information has caused us to have a higher interest rate on my mortgage and even had me denied for a real estate loan.
Anonymous on 08/29/2003:
Do not deal with NCO. That are the bottom of the barrel of debt collectors. Send them a validation letter in pursuant to the FDCPA. This will stop them in their tracks. If it doesn't, you will have violations on them under the FDCPA. You can sue them in small claims for thousands, I have!! It only cost 25 dollars to file a small claims lawsuit. They want easy debts to collect, not the ones they have to fight. They prey on the unknowing consumer, and I prey on them. ;)

Fraud - Beneficial - Household Finance
Posted by
TACOMA, WASHINGTON -- As an honest consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident.
In October of 2000, my husband and I refinance our home with Beneficial. Before signing the documents, I notice that they had a 5 year pre-payment penalty.
I informed the Loan Officer that I would not sign the documents, because I did not want to be locked into a loan for five years. The Loan Officer stated that he would talk to his Branch Manager and see if he could get this reduced to a 2 year pre-payment penalty.
The Loan Officer came to our home a few days later, stating that he had got the pre-payment penalty reduced to two year. He then produced a letter on Beneficial Finance letterhead.
This letter is to confirm that your first mortgage consolidation loan which is cheduled to close on October 31, 2000, will have a reduction from our standard pre-payment penalty term of 5 years to a 2 year pre-payment term. The pre-payment penalty clause will become null and void after October 31, 2002. Please keep this document for your records. Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me direct at 253-476-1710.
In May of this year, we started looking to refinance our home loan because of the high interest rate. When I contacted Beneficial regarding our 2 year pre-payment penalty, they stated that the company has a standard 5 year pre-payment penalty and the letter that I have is not valid. They stated that since it is not recorded that they would not honor the letter.
At Beneficial Finance, I spoke with the Assistant Manager, Donia Martin, who was reluctant to give me information regarding Beneficial Corporate Office, and phone numbers. I also spoke with another Assistant Manager, Jeffrey M. Broussard. (Whose name is on the letter I have.) I asked Mr. Broussard, who he reported to and that I would like to speak to that person. Mr. Broussard placed me hold for five (5) minutes. When he returned to the call, he stated I could speak with Bill Nolan, District Manager, who works out of the same office as Mr. Broussard. Why it took Mr. Broussard five minutes, to tell me his supervisor's name, was very strange to me.
As a resolution, I would like the following:
I want Beneficial Finance to honor the two year pre-payment penalty stated in the letter I received signed by Beneficial Finance, Branch Manager Kipp Cosgriffe.
I feel that Beneficial Finance deliberately produced the letter just to get me and my husband to sign the papers, and had no intentions of honoring the agreement set forth in the letter.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like more details regarding this matter.

This corporation cheats consumers out of their hard earned money. I took out a personal loan with Beneficial and became deliquent on my account, this corporation applied the months that I was deliquent to the end of the loan. This amount totaled $1872.16, and I now have paid a total of $1909.16, and the company claims that I still owe interest for the months that I was deliquent.
Suzy58 on 05/14/2008:
I agree. This company sucks and should be put out of business. I've had a loan with them since 2002. Have been delinquent a few times; am now current. The balance just doesn't go down because of the outrageously high interest rates and so little going to the loan balance. Don't ever do business with this predatory lender. They shouldn't be allowed to continue their deceptive practices.

Emirates Airline - Lost Baggage
Posted by
BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON -- As a consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident.
Emirates lost our bags on flight EK623 and EK001 on 12/25/07 (LHEDXB and DXBLHR). I filed a report (# LHREK23901) at Heathrow airport. Since then I've been trying to get in touch with Emirates but no one has returned my calls or replied to my emails. Some details…..
1. Left 20-30 messages to Emirates UK at 020-8897-3063 during my Stay in London. No one returned my calls.
2. Talked to Heathrow Emirates Stuff (Leon and Russ) in person on 12/30. They promised to get back but no one did.
3. Called and left messages for Emirates USA at 212-758-3944. No response.
4. Called Emirates Dubai at 001-971-4-213-32333 and was told to file another report provide more details about contents of the luggage. Report emailed UK, USA and Dubai on 01/02.
5. Emirates confirmed email reception and advised that someone from customer service will be contacting me but that has not happened yet
In short, I have been calling and emailing Emirates UK, USA and Dubai for pas two weeks to trace my lost bags. There is no live help available in UK and USA. Emirates call center in Dubai rarely picks up phone but has not done anything to resolve this issue. I have run out of options and would really appreciate any help from you in this matter.
Please contact me if you need more details regarding this incident.

Contest Fraud
Posted by
INTERNET -- As a honest consumer from your state, I felt it was my responsibility to bring to your attention the following incident.
I believe a company on the internet is running a contest that is impossible to win. They state that you must win a game twice in a row within 90 seconds, but the wording makes it sound like you have 90 seconds for each game. Also because of the way it is set up, I think it would be impossible to win 2 games in a row in 90 seconds.
As a resolution, I would like the following:
I believe they should have to give everyone who 'won', the promised prize. I won the gumball machine twice and wrote to them because nothing came up asking for my information, and they never responded. I finally just spoke to someone there who told me you must win both games in 90 seconds total. I believe it would be fraud to offer a prize for a game no one can win.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like more details regarding this incident.

Sergio Perez believes he proved with his display in India that he can deliver when under pressure after finishing fifth.
The McLaren driver started in ninth place, but an excellent strategy which saw him put in a long first stint on the medium tyres helped him to secure a season-best finish.
It is a welcome boost for the 23-year-old Mexican as there are question marks over his race seat for the 2014 campaign as McLaren are yet to confirm him.
"Unlike the past two or three weekends, I was finally able to enjoy a clean race without any bad luck!" he said.
"Fifth place is a great result for me. Without question, I have a lot of pressure on my shoulders, but it's always sweeter when you perform well while under pressure. I'm extremely satisfied.
"In the closing laps, it was a fantastic feeling to get past Kimi [Raikkonen] and Lewis [Hamilton] in a single move. I just braked as late as I could for Turn Four to try and keep Lewis behind - and I managed to do it.
"It's been a tough season, but today's result is a promising sign and really motivates the whole workforce ahead of the last three races, where we'll be doing our best to get more strong finishes under our belts."

Sweet Potato Station: 30 Sweet and Savory Dishes
With origins in Peru, sweet potatoes were introduced to the rest of the world by Christopher Columbus. It wasn't until the mid 1700s that the term sweet potato was used to distinguish it from the more common white potato. They have now become a staple during the fall season and for good reason: they are packed with vitamin A, potassium, and antioxidants, and loaded with a rich flavor.

The state's Conservative Party met for the first day of its annual conference in Colonie. Capital Tonight's Nick Reisman found that conservative advocates are upset with both Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republicans when it comes to the new gun control law.
ALBANY COUNTY, N.Y. -- While Republicans in the State Senate, outnumbered by Democrats, seek to compromise with a popular governor, Conservative Party advocates are disappointed with Andrew Cuomo's sweeping gun control law. But even Republicans who are staunch opponents of the law aren't ready to toss out the Republican leadership in the Senate.
"I'm hearing that people are unhappy about the gun control law. Most of what I'm hearing is centered on the issue, not about the leader," said State Senator Kathy Marchione.
Marchione was warmly received by members of the state's Conservative Party. It's a small, but politically active organization that seeks to push the New York Republican Party to the right. But it's tough going in a deeply blue state. Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos has had to seek compromises with six breakaway Democrats in order to retain some power in the chamber, unnerving some conservative advocates.
"I think that Senator Skelos has some severe difficulties now with having less Republicans than Democrats. I think that he worked well with the IDC. I'm new in the conference and yes, I supported him and I'm going to continue to support him in the conference," Marchione said.
But for the most part, Conservative Party officials lay blame for the gun control law and its updated ban on assault weapons squarely on the shoulders of Cuomo, who they believe cares more about running for president than what's good for New York.
"I think there will be some blowback here because as you continue to talk about these things, even the gun control package that he's promoting, it's not going to play well on the national scene. So it may steal some headlines today, but I think it will damage some things down the road," said Livingston County Conservative Party Chairman Jason McGuire.
And Cuomo still faces re-election in 2014. It will likely be an uphill battle for Republicans against a very popular incumbent. Congressman Chris Collins, once regarded as a potential challenger to the governor, has ruled it out.
Collins said, "My focus now is getting America right, so I can assure you that I have interest or desire in running for governor in 2014."
Cuomo has a campaign war chest of more than $20 million heading into 2014 and an approval rating of more than 70 percent.

WASHINGTON - Virginia lawmakers have just two weeks left to strike a compromise on a lone bill that would reform and rejuvenate the state's transportation funding.
But a move in the House of Delegates Wednesday to derail a power grab by Senate Republicans, who wanted to redraw election maps in their favor, will likely smooth the path to a deal.
One version of the $3 billion proposal from Gov. Bob McDonnell remains. And although Senate Democrats rejected the governor's plan initially, Minority Leader Dick Saslaw tells WTOP senators will work with the House to modify the legislation and pass a transportation funding bill this session.
"I think there's a pretty good chance. We're going to work with the (House) speaker to see if we can't reach an area of common ground and see if we can't make this thing happen," says Saslaw, D-Alexandria.
But Saslaw says any final bill should lack a key piece of the governor's transportation package: a repeal of the state's gas tax.
"The gas tax is not going to be repealed," Saslaw pledged.
Other legislators, including some Republicans, have said they are concerned about eliminating the gas tax because it is user fee, paid for in part by out of state visitors. Increasing the sales tax as McDonnell's plan would do is considered a regressive tax that would adversely hurt poorer Virginians.
"I hope that they will come to their senses," McDonnell tells WTOP, referring to Senate Democrats, who threatened to deny Republicans the 21st vote needed to pass key legislation including transportation funding and the state budget over the election map flap.
"If they choose to kill this bill, there will be not be transportation funding to provide relief to the most congested area of the state -- Northern Virginia," McDonnell says.
Money for roads, bridges and commuter trains, including Phase 2 of Metro's Silver Line project, would be in jeopardy if lawmakers don't come up with a solution.
Virginia is running out of cash available to maintain the state's highways and local roads and has few options other than tolls to pay for new infrastructure like bridges, tunnels and interstate lanes.

Williams chief race engineer Xevi Pujolar believes Valtteri Bottas will have a long career in F1 after demonstrating his prowess in Canada.
The Williams rookie claimed the team's highest grid position of this campaign by some margin in Montreal when he put his FW35 up into third place in the rain on Saturday.
However, with the sun out on Sunday, the Finnish driver plummeted down the order as the car just didn't have the pace needed to run at the front.
But despite once again failing to score a point, Bottas impressed his Williams bosses with Pujolar saying he believes the rookie is more versatile than his more experienced team-mate Pastor Maldonado.
"You could say that they're both quite aggressive," Pujolar told ESPNF1.
"Pastor is a bit more specific and Valtteri I would say maybe is able to adapt himself more towards what is happening at each moment, but they are both quite aggressive.
"At the same time then in the race both can be quite similar looking after the tyres, it's just that Pastor has got some requirements that would sometimes give him an advantage in qualifying it's just that he needs to feel it."
"All the problems we had with the car we were struggling more with him than with Valtteri, but now with all the improvements we are doing with the car is just to go in one direction and both drivers asked to go in the same direction with the car."
