Louisville is currently implementing such a system, what the city's bike department, Bike Louisville, is calling "Neighborways." The city hopes these new bike boulevards will encourage and enable bicyclists and pedestrians to take advantage of alternate-route options for moving safely around the city—and eventually lead to an uptick in biking overall.

Houston's Bayou Greenways plan is perhaps the largest active transportation project in the country right now — if residents can actually use it for transportation when it's completed. Jen Powis of the Houston Parks Board has described the greenway project as a cross between the Atlanta Beltline and the Portland Bike Master Plan, which "re-envisions transportation" in the city.

The Green Lane Project, established in 2012 by non-profit group PeopleForBikes, continues its ambitious mission to expedite the process of building more protected bike lines with six new U.S. cities in tow: Atlanta, Boston, Denver, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and Seattle.

The program celebrated its national kickoff in Indianapolis today with transportation officials including U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, who discussed the Department's prioritization on improving bicycle and pedestrian safety as more Americans are looking for alternative methods of commuting.

Back in March, the program selected the six cities out of 100 that submitted letters of interest. In addressing each city's current situation, The Green Lane Project will provide each city with financial, strategic, and technical assistance in constructing the bike lanes, which are valued at more than $250,000. The on-street lanes are separated from traffic by curbs, planters, parked cars, or posts to help organize...

New bike lanes certainly make life better for cyclists, but how do they affect drivers? This question is hotly debated, especially when a new bike lane replaces a lane used by vehicular traffic. It seems that unless a ton of people start commuting by bicycle, giving away a lane would cause increased car traffic. But is this really the case?

Gliding through the air on a bike might so far be confined to the fantasy realms of singing nannies and aliens in baskets, but riding over rooftops could one day form part of your regular commute to work, if Norman Foster has his way. Unveiled this week, in an appropriately light-headed vision for the holiday season, SkyCycle proposes a network of elevated bike paths hoisted aloft above railway lines, allowing you to zip through town blissfully liberated from the roads.

"We have beaten the odds and the obstructionists over and over again," the mayor triumphantly declared in his State of the City address in March. He chose an appropriate venue: the Barclays Center, the new home of the Brooklyn Nets, which was a lightning rod for his all-out development policy. A vigorous opposition was beaten in the courts and the City Council in much the same way he often steamrolled opposition to his comprehensive rethinking of development.

 While Mayor Bloomberg has attracted media attention recently for his contentious opinions on "stop and frisk" policing and city-wide bans on soda, it's hard to argue with the New York Times'  interactive infographic on Bloomberg's twelve-year mayoral run, highlighting his drastic role in city development. A kind of long-form visual report card, the Times focuses on various building and city-planning projects around the city, emphasizing changes in residential complexes, rezoning policies, waterfront development, and bike infrastructure.

 The refreshingly simple feature has the reader/viewer fly around a white-styrofoam-model New York City, with areas specific to Bloomberg's development plans highlighted in red. These perspectives are followed by before-and-after photos of details within the site, taken from within Bloomberg's residency.

As it turns out, infrastructure really matters. Your chance of injury drops by about 50 percent, relative to that major city street, when riding on a similar road with a bike lane and no parked cars. The same improvement occurs on bike paths and local streets with designated bike routes. And protected bike lanes – with actual barriers separating cyclists from traffic – really make a difference. The risk of injury drops for riders there by 90 percent.

The cycle superhighway, which opened in April, is the first of 26 routes scheduled to be built to encourage more people to commute to and from Copenhagen by bicycle. More bike path than the Interstate its name suggests, it is the brainchild of city planners who were looking for ways to increase bicycle use in a place where half of the residents already bike to work or to school every day.

The proposal for a bike path system for Venezuela's capitol Caracas, designed by architects Andrea Hernández and Cruz Criollo, has won the first prize in the competition Metropolitan Transportation System, Caracas to Pedal. The best and most innovative proposals of this competition, which seeks to promote cycling in the city, were recently awarded by the Metropolitan Mayor of Caracas.

The native of Eveleth, Minnesota was a standout in hockey and football as a boy. He later excelled in both sports at the University of Minnesota. In 1940 he was named an all-American on the varsity hockey team while helping the gridiron squad win the NCAA national championship.
After graduating from college Mariucci played five NHL seasons with the Chicago Black Hawks. He was a solid defensive forward and combative team leader who served as captain twice. Mariucci didn't back down from any opponent and waged many a fierce battle with rugged "Black Jack" Stewart of the Detroit Red Wings. When his NHL days ended, Mariucci suited up for the St. Louis Flyers of the American Hockey League and the Minneapolis Millers of the United States Hockey League.
As admirable a player as he was, Mariucci's true calling was as a coach and nurturer of talent. He took over as coach of the University of Minnesota hockey team and immediately declined to recruit players from Canada. An important part of this emphasis on home grown talent was a challenge sent out by Mariucci to high schools throughout the state to start their own programs and develop interest in their respective communities. Between 1952 and 1980 the number of high school teams grew from a handful to more than 150.
Mariucci produced several all-Americans at the university and expanded his own horizons by getting involved with international hockey. He coached the US Olympic team to the silver medal at the 1956 Cortina games. In 1967, he returned to the NHL with the expansion Minnesota North Stars as the assistant to general manager, a position he held until his death in 1987.
A charter member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, Mariucci won the Lester Patrick award in 1977 for contributions to hockey in the United States. The University of Minnesota also paid tribute to him by renaming its ice hockey facility the Mariucci Arena.
He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985.

Watch Nashville
The television series Nashville tells the story of an aging country and western singer and her rivalry with a teenage country singer who is attempting to take her place as the biggest star in country music. Connie Britton plays the aging singer Rayna James who is trying to halt a slide in her popularity and sales figures; in contrast Juliette Barnes, played by Hayden Panettiere is the rising singer who is thrown together with Rayna on a tour to boost the popularity of both.
Nashville was created by Callie Khouri who won an Academy Award for writing the movie Thelma and Louise in 1992. Her script for Nashville was picked up by Disney - ABC Domestic Television for the production of pilot in 2011; the pilot was eventually produced in March 2012 and the first season released on the ABC network in the same year. The main stars of the show have all appeared in successful television series, such as Connie Britton who appeared in Spin City and Friday Night Lights; Hayden Panettiere is probably best known for her work on the science fiction series Heroes.
During the initial plot lines of Nashville Rayna James finds herself in an arranged marriage with Teddy Conrad who aims to run for Mayor of Nashville despite spending the previous years living off his wife's fortune. Rayna is also attempting to revive her career by using the lyrics written by Scarlett O'Connor, played by Australian actress Clare Bowen. The Australian actress is known for many roles in Australian drama's and soap opera's, including Home and Away.
A co-production of ABC-Disney, Gaylord Entertainment, Lionsgate Television, Walk & Chew Gum, and Cutler Productions. Initially, five episodes were completed for the first season of Nashville, each lasting 42 minutes and fitting into an hour time slot. In the U.S. the series was shown on ABC and distributed abroad by Debmar-Mercury.

Black consciousness roots in new party seeking to oust ANC
(GIN) — On the heels of a State of the Union address by ANC President Jacob Zuma that critics felt was devoid of new ideas and uninspiring, a longtime anti-apartheid activist has come from the wings determined to unseat the ANC establishment, presenting fresh ideas and a new party.
Mamphela Ramphele, informal wife of the late Black consciousness leader Steve Biko, lost no time in criticizing the incumbents. "Our society's greatness is being fundamentally undermined by a massive failure of governance," she said at a launch event at the historic women's jail at Constitutional Hill. "Our country has lost the moral authority and international respect it enjoyed when it became a democracy."
There was no shortage of failed policies to criticize — the wide gap between rich and poor, attacks on striking miners and farmers, corruption and a broken education system.
The 65-year-old said her new organization would be called Agang — "Let us build" in the Sesotho language — and would take part in national elections next year.
In a manifesto released at the launch event, she warned that "the great society to which we committed ourselves … is rapidly unraveling before our eyes. … The impressive achievements of the past 18 years are being undermined by poor governance. … Corruption, nepotism and patronage have become the hallmarks of the conduct of many in public service. "
"It is not surprising that despair and hopelessness are driving many decent people to violence in both the domestic and public spaces. The majority of citizens feel excluded and disrespected at all levels of their daily lives."
ANC supporters predictably attacked her manifesto. Patrick Craven of the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) called it "political demagoguery." "What we can expect from someone who was a managing director of the World Bank from 2000 to 2004 and the chairperson of Gold Fields from 2010, until she suddenly resigned just days before her Agang announcement?" Craven said accusatorily.
Ramphele has worn many hats: medical doctor, social anthropologist, World Bank managing director and university executive. She recently stepped down as chair of Gold Fields, a mining company. But she denied being a member of the out-of-touch elite.
Her platform has drawn support from the opposition. "South Africa is a great country being let down by a weak president," said Lindiwe Mazibuko of the Democratic Alliance (DA). "Dr Ramphele shares the DA's core values of non-racialism and constitutionalism," added Mmusi Maimane, a spokesperson for the DA. "Her move is another step in the long process of realigning South African politics around these values."

I was wondering if anyone else feels uneasy about taking Metformin for gestational diabetes for pregnancy. I did some research and found that the FDA will not at this time say that it is safe for pregnancy, only that it appears not to affect animals. I did a lot of hard work to get my blood sugars down to almost acceptable levels. Only a few of them were a few points higher. This medication is making me nauseous and sick to my stomach as well as very tired. I am thinking (and praying) about coming off of it and really sticking it to my diet to get these sugars down. It is concerning to me that they say that Metformin should not be given to a child under 10 and then they say that it is okay for babies (?????)
I am very leary of medication and drugs in general (I usually go to a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor) and I am confused about what the Western Docs are telling me. Can anyone share their experience with this???
long time lurker, first time poster but thought I might be of some help or at least offer a different opinion....
I started taking metformin to get pregnant. I have PCOS and we had a difficult time conceiving. We got pregnant about 2 months after I started on the metformin but I had taken it years before to control the PCOS. My dr.'s kept me on it for the first 4 months to help avoid a miscarriage then at about 4 1/2 months started urging me to go off.
I am on the other end of the spectrum, I actually fought my dr to stay on it because I have done a lot of research about women with PCOS going off and getting GD as a result or worse, late term miscarriage. I went off for 1 month at the request of my dr. and immediately developed GD (my sugars went from 110 after eating to 180 after eating and this was with regulating my diet as well) Beyond that I have also read that it helps some women produce breast milk and I could not find any evidence that it was harmful during pregnancy so I went back on it. One of my biggest arguments to my dr. was that I was on it for the first 4 1/2 months at their urging and I'm now 7 1/2 months so I don't see any reason to go off of it for 2 months only to have to take insulin injections and if it is not safe, then I should not have been told to take it for the first half of the pregnancy.
Ultimately you know your body and what is right for you. If you are not comfortable taking something, you should research and see if there are any other options available to you. If you are able to control the GD with just diet, that would probably be the best option if you are not comfortable with meds. If your dr. does not support that, you should think about a second opinion.
Good luck!
My doctor chose to take me off of it at about 8 weeks into the pregnancy. I'd been on Metformin regularly for about a year. At the time I thought it was a blessing since Met made me get sick in the mornings, every morning, like clockwork. Without it, though, my sugars have not remained under control and I do have GD, despite being quite active and having a decent (but admittedly not great_ diet.
That being said, in animal studies high doses -- and I'm only reading abstracts so what they consider a "high" dose may be very high indeed -- caused birth defects, and this seems to be the reason cited by the more conservative doctors who pull patients off of Met. Given the choice between the two, my personal feeling was that I'll take the risk with GD and alter my diet as best I can to control the sugar. That was my personal conclusion, though. I'm sure whatever you decide will be right for you.
@ tattooed- Thanks for your thoughts. I too am going to try to control it through diet and exercise. Metformin made me feel so sick I ended up in OB triage. My doctor tried to tell me that it was just pregnancy nausea and stomach upset, but I haven't had ANY morning sickness (thank you God!) and my stomach has been feeling great because I have been strictly following the diabetes diet.
The only reason they are putting me on it is for my morning numbers. But there is a phenomenon where your sugars spike up right before you wake up. If that is the case for me, then I am fine. I am going to set an alarm and see if my sugars are up in the middle of the night. My husband is encouraging me and volunteering for cooking duty to make sure that I have healthy food to eat.

American Bolero Dance Company's Spanish Dance School is offering courses in Flamenco and Spanish Dance for adults and children, ages 4 and up, during its 2013 Winter session from January 8 until March 23. Regular classes are held at Sol Dance Center in Astoria. Gabriela Granados, Artistic Director and Founder of ABDC and the School, heads the dance faculty. Teachers are trained in Ms. Granados' dance method, a unique educational approach that follows a comprehensive age-based syllabus and combines elements of Flamenco, Ballet, Spanish Classical and Regional Folkloric Dances, and Character Dance. Castanet playing is also taught as part of students' regular coursework. Performing opportunities are available to serious and dedicated students. Private and Semi-Private instruction can be arranged upon request.
Gabriela Granados founded American Bolero Dance Company in 1996 with a mission to preserve and present Spanish dance and music in their diverse forms. Since the age of 4, she has trained extensively in a wide range of classical and regional Spanish dances as well as Flamenco, Classical Ballet, Character dance and Latin American folklore. As a professional dancer, Ms. Granados has performed internationally, touring her signature productions in New York City, the Mid-Atlantic States and Europe to critical acclaim. In Spain, she performed in three of Madrid's most legendary tablaos flamencos: Los Canasteros, Zambra and Las Brujas. In the United States, she has performed with the flamenco companies of Maria Benítez, Andrea del Conte and Carlota Santana. She choreographs for and appears regularly with her own company, as well as with orchestras and opera companies. The New York Times has called Ms. Granados' professional productions "exuberant and stylish" and her solo work "stunning…a tour de force".
As a dance educator, Ms. Granados served on the faculty of the Neubert Ballet Institute for over a decade. Additionally, she has been an artist-in-residence at LaGuardia High School of Music, Art, and the Performing Arts, on the faculty of Broadway Dance Center, a freelance teacher at Fazil's Times Circle Rehearsal Studios, and a guest teacher and lecturer for the Dance Departments of New York University and Barnard College.

St. Mary's Selects Search Firm
Dear Campus Community,
On behalf of the Presidential Search Committee Selection Subgroup, I am pleased to announce that we have selected Witt/Kieffer as our search firm. Nine firms responded to our RFP and we interviewed four. Dr. Katherine Haley of Witt/Kieffer was our unanimous choice. Prior to joining Witt/Kieffer as a search consultant, Kate served as the first woman president of Gettysburg College. She has also held the position of president at Whittier College in California, as well as provost and professor of English at Kenyon College in Ohio.
I want to thank Larry Leak, Sven Holmes, Alan Dillingham, Sara Slaff, Pat Hunt and Kathy Grimes for their diligent work on this first step in our search. As noted in an earlier message, our Presidential Search Committee and Search Planning Group will be comprised of trustees (including several alums), faculty, staff and students to represent the campus community as we move through the search process.
During the interviews with the search firms we asked each to discuss with us the pros and cons of a closed search. After hearing their thoughts this sub group discussed this issue further and concluded that we would recommend to the search committee that the search be open. What we mean by this is that after confidential airport interviews, the search committee would select a small number of finalists whom we would bring to campus for meetings with the Board, faculty, staff and students.
The Search Committee will begin our work by holding an open forum for the campus community on Friday, October 4 at 3:00 pm in St. Mary's Hall. We will update you on the proposed timeline and process for the presidential search. We also look forward to hearing from you regarding the qualifications and attributes you seek in the next president of St. Mary's College.
Gail Harmon, Chair
Presidential Search Committee

TEL AVIV – The Eastern Mediterranean Gas Conference (EMGC) 2014 concluded with Noble Energy's Lawson Freeman calling for the creation of policies and laws that encourage more E&P activity with more operators.
"With the right environment, the sky is the limit," said Freeman, Vice President -- Eastern Mediterranean, for Noble.
Lawson explained the global nature of E&P activity and the simultaneous operations that led to the construction of the Tamar gas development. Leviathan development, next on Noble's agenda, will be an even bigger and more complex project.
Lawson encouraged local participation through employment and procurement of equipment and services. "We need a full range of skillsets from exploration; drilling and completions; reservoir and subsea engineering; construction; and even logistics coordinaton and HS&E expertise. We're hiring interns in Israel for training with experts in Houston, as we build a local workforce."
Noble has built up local employment consisting of 130 people, and local procurement, worth $130 million, during 2013.
The second day of EMGC 2014 included presentations from subject matter experts on gas processing infrastructure development, regional gas demand, and future possibilities for both Israel and Cyprus.
A session on Israeli innovation included presentations from fledgling companies involved in oilfield applications, ranging from well stimulation to remote monitoring, water treatment, scale inhibition and spill containment.
The conference concluded with a networking reception hosted by the Israeli Export and International Cooperation Institute.

MOVIES Budding sequel princess Sarah Michelle Gellar clearly doesn't hold a Grudge against Takashi Shimizu, director of one of her top-grossing hits. The Scooby-Doo 2 and Scream series alumna will reportedly begin filming a follow-up to the 2004 horror flick next month, with an anticipated Oct. 20, 2006, release.
MUSIC Emo rockers Fall Out Boy are planning ample opportunities for their fans to dance, dance their way through 2006. After a gig at MTV's New Year's Eve party, the group will tour Europe before headlining a U.S. tour this spring with Hawthorne Heights and All-American Rejects. Plus, adds bassist Pete Wentz, ''we're working on our new songs, and we're in talks to collaborate with Babyface on our new record.''
MOVIES Queer as Folk star/ inescapable talking head Hal Sparks will soon be en route to China to film a pair of martial-arts films. In Chinese. Um, wha? ''I speak Mandarin and study martial arts, so this has always been a dream of mine. I'm going to be a semicomic-relief fighter. You know, like I am in real life on the street.'' What are the names of the movies? ''Uh, they're in Chinese, so it wouldn't make sense.'' Any titles you can talk about? ''Next fall, I'll do a feature I've written called Babe Lair. It's a modernization of ''The Three Little Pigs,'' with three guys using their apartments as a lure to get the same girl to like them.''
TELEVISION Frequent medium jumpers William H. Macy, Tom Berenger, and Ron Livingston have signed on to star in an anthology series based on spook-meister (and EW columnist) Stephen King's 1993 short story collection Nightmares & Dreamscapes for TNT. Don't expect a marathon miniseries, though: Only 8 of the 20 original tales are getting one-hour adaptations.
TELEVISION Dick Wolf calls his just-ordered NBC legal drama Conviction a ''charactercedural.'' It doesn't roll off the tongue like ''dramedy,'' but then Wolf is the mastermind behind Law & Order, so who are we to nitpick? The series, which stars a bevy of ''Hey, isn't that...'' actors, including SVU's Stephanie March (reprising her role as Alexandra Cabot) and The O.C.'s Eric Balfour, begins production this month in New York City.

How To Find Wedding Favors That Fits The Wedding Theme
In choosing a wedding favor that fits a certain wedding theme, there different things to be considered and question to be answered. Generally, preparing a wedding is not an easy job. All aspect of the wedding can take great amount of time to be fully polished. Accessories and decoration, bridesmaid and maid of honor, groomsmen and best man, and all other participant also needs to prepared. Choosing for accessories and decoration, keepsake and favors for instance, has to be thoroughly decided according to the theme of the wedding.
So, to decide what to choose for the wedding favor, here's how:
To plan for a wedding keepsake or favor, first is to determine the theme of the wedding. A theme is a uniform set of elements composed of a wedding. It gives a unique character and impression to everyone and to the wedding itself. Wedding themes such as
beach-wedding theme
wedding theme, holiday-themed weddings and others should incorporate fitted images and decoration, and other items.
determine also the colors, images, and other items that can incorporate well with the chosen theme. For beach wedding theme, consider bright and pastel colors. Consider also some beach theme designs, styles and materials like seashells, pebbles and other stones.
Search for list of favors that incorporate the chosen colors, images and items. However, don't make a quick decision at this point, consider making first a list of available items to choose from.
Narrow down the listed items then refer it to the wedding budget. After that, trim down your favorite list of items by using your personal taste as guide.
Gather some samples of the remaining favors. Place them on the area where the guests will able to see them during a co-ed shower party and even during the bachelor party, which has to be celebrated prior to the wedding day. Have it compared, determine the impact that has been made by each favor. These items can be a
shower favors
for the mean time.
Lastly, select the favor or combination of favors that stands out, or mostly picked by majority of the guests. And also, choose the item that makes the best presentation that still fits the theme of the wedding.

If you only have time for one trip outside Prague during your stay in the Czech Republic, Cesky Krumlov is the place for you. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1992, south Bohemia's Cesky Krumlov is one of Bohemia´s most picturesque towns, made up of elegant Renaissance buildings housing charming cafes, pubs, restaurants, shops and galleries.

Prague to Cesky Krumlov: 10-hour Itinerary
2,5 hour Prague to Cesky Krumlov transfer
This is a private tour, so the itinerary can be adjusted as you wish.
The fairytale Old Town in Cesky Krumlov
During the tour of the city, we will explore the narrow and romantic streets of the Renaissance Old Town, featuring 300 medieval buildings, enjoy views from a footbridge over the Vltava River and walk by the Egon Schiele Art Centre. At the Hotel Růže, a former Jesuit College with beautiful Renaissance sgraffiti, take note of the pictures of crowds saluting Hitler in the square during World War II. From the Regional Museum there are beautiful views of the medieval centre. We will also visit Saint Vitus Church and the town square with its Renaissance town hall, Plague Column and fountain. Then it is time to visit Latrán Street with its colorful, medieval houses. After entering the first castle courtyard and seeing the bear moat where bears actually live, you will tour the second biggest castle in Bohemia.
Lunch at the Vltava River with a breathtaking view
While touring the Old Town, we will eat lunch at a traditional restaurant near the Vltava River. You will have a magnificent view of the castle if you visit during the summer. In the winter we dine at a cozy, medieval- like restaurant with a fireplace, located in one of the romantic, winding streets. Do not forget to savor the local Eggenberg beer.
Krumlov Castle
The highlight of the town, the Castle of Cesky Krumlov attracts visitors from all over the world who come to marvel at the architectural gem with five courtyards and 11 hectares of gardens. In 1302 the Rosenberg family inherited the Cesky Krumlov Castle, and it was their main residence for nearly 300 years. You are sure to be dazzled by the golden carriage. Constructed from gilded walnut in 1638, the carriage was used to transport gifts from newly-elected Emperor Ferdinand III von Habsburg to Pope Urban VIII. Cesky Krumlov Castle also boasts one of the oldest Baroque theatres in Europe, built from 1680 to 1682. It is one of only a few Baroque theatres in the world with its original stage machinery, costumes, scenery, and props.
Krumlov Castle is now open on Mondays and in the winter
Cesky Krumlov Castle consists of the Upper and Lower Castle (Museum). The Upper Castle is open daily from April through October except Mondays. If you want to visit Krumlov Castle on a Monday, you can see the interiors of the Lower Castle and/or its tower instead. During the winter (November – March), when the Upper Castle is closed, you can still visit the interiors of the Lower Castle daily except Mondays. In other words, the castle is open daily from April through October and closed on Mondays from November through March. The castle interiors are completely closed during Christmas time and the New Year. Still, even then people like to visit because they have the opportunity to admire the five coutyards of Krumlov Castle and wander around the Old Town. Admission fees: Upper Castle 250 CZK / person, Lower Castle (Museum): 100 CZK / person or Lower Castle + Tower: 150 CZK / person. Reduced price for students and seniors over 65.
Culture in Cesky Krumlov: The Five-Petalled Rose Celebrations
Cesky Krumlov is teeming with cultural activities and hosts hundreds of events each year. There are dozens of museums and galleries as well as the medieval castle complex with stunning gardens. The historic and modern theaters include the Cesky Krumlov Castle Baroque theater built in the 1600s and the Revolving Auditorium, built during the 20th century. The Five-Petalled Rose Celebrations, a three-day festival in mid-June, transform Cesky Krumlov into a Renaissance town once again. Day and night, visitors are treated to concerts, dances, duels and theatre performances as well as processions of noble ladies and gentlemen, knights and jugglers. Go back in time to explore the magic of the Middle Ages!
Sights to see around Cesky Krumlov

BMW. The Ultimate Driving Machine. There's a reason this slogan hasnt changed in ages.
nothing! just wish it was brand new again.
Just A Damn Good Car! — Performance : inline 6 engine is torquey and quick off the line. Braking is excellent, handling is admirable for a 12 year old machine. Build : for 126,000 miles, it's holding up well Appearance : stylish and classy without being gaudy, BMW's just age well. Cost : 28mph highway, but I always treat it to supreme gas because it deserves it. Fun : for a mid-size sedan, it is damn fun. Just wait til i mod it.

Great to just cruise and chill or go mad and relieve stress or anger.
Parts and whatnot cost a good bit.
Its A Great Car, I Love It — Handles and performs awesome, brake hard=coming out of seats, accelerate to get right back in your seat, and for being a 4 doors sedan, turns great. I'd say its built quite well, seems to be engineered for durability but not really ease of repair. Insurance aint that much for me, but parts are not cheap at all. Its also every bit capable of 25 mpg with kind highway type of driving, however, how often does that really happen. I love it, fairly easy tame for me and can do anything I ask of it.

Above par build quality, lots of room, comfortable and quiet ride with good fuel consumption
Boring to drive, soft clutch and shifting, HVAC unit is poorly designed and has crappy buttons
Bmw 528i 5spd Sport Package — The car is very reliable and has good build quality. However its extremely boring to drive and you just blend in with all of the housewifes and old men going to play golf. I have the sport package and its the only way to go because it really enhances the visual appeal of the car. One thing i really don't like is the front bumper design. It is a disaster and a curb catcher. Also to much body roll. The hvac is poorly thought out. For instance in order to turn on rear defrost i have to turn on the hvac. I would suggest this car to the average individual who just wants to get from point A to B. Overall great car but boring.

Love It — it drives wery good, the braking is exelent. all the sercvis' have been follow'd. front seats is litle tired, but backseat is as good as new. no big repairs. i just love it. use a bit to much gas for my taste, but it will go fast when you do a kick down

Powerfull, good drivers car, spacious, refined, well equipped
Thirsty, early exaples had electrical faults
1998 Bmw 5 Series 540i — Performance: 4.4 V8 is fast. Brakes are great, handles as well as the Saloon which is no bad thing. Build Quality: Good, as expected. Appearance: Good looking, rare alloys Cost of Ownership: Thirsty, don't expect the quoted MPG Fun Factor: Fun to drive, feels safe so you can push it a bit

Shot and edited this with my trusty new Canon G11 and iMovie this morning (before heading to work, appropriately).
Is it wrong that I feel this way when gazing upon my burgeoning spirits collection? Perhaps. But big ups to Paul at what I'm convinced is the best wine and spirits store in the country for the suggestions on what to buy, and a personal plug to Carly, Greg, and the editorial whippersnappers at The Spirit for the cocktail inspiration.
Say cheers!

More in Floors
Squeaks are caused when the subfloor begins to separate from the floor joists. The nails squeak as they slide in and out of the joists.
To fix squeaks caused by large gaps from beneath the floor, fasten a piece of scrap wood against the floor joist so that it fits snugly against the subfloor. The wood will support the subfloor, preventing it from moving down to the joist.
For smaller gaps, apply construction adhesive to a wooden shim, and slide the shim into the gap between the joist and the subfloor. Don't force the shim into place because it will create a wider gap between the joist and the subfloor.
If the problem stems from the floor separating from the subfloor, use a short screw to fasten the subfloor and floor together. Don't use a long screw: it could go all the way through the floor.
Fix squeaks from above the floor with a hammer and finish nails. For wood floors, locate the squeak, and drive a long finish nail into the floor so that it goes into the floor joist if possible (locate the floor joists with a stud sensor). If the problem is caused by the floor's separating from the subfloor, drive two nails into the floor at opposite 45-degree angles. Use a nail set to drive the nails below the surface of the floor, and fill the hole with wood filler.
For carpeted floors, cut a small hole in the carpet webbing above the squeak with a utility knife. Peel the carpet back, and drive a screw through the floor and subfloor. The hole should be large enough for the head of the screw to fit through. If the head starts pulling down the carpet, loosen the screw, and pull the carpet over the head. Increase the size of the slit if necessary.

Muscle Shoals is located in the northwest corner of Alabama and is the largest city in Colbert County. It has a mayor/council form of government and was the last city in Alabama to change from a commission form of city government in 1992. Muscle Shoals is world-renowned as an important center of music production and musical history. The origin of the city's name is uncertain. One theory holds that it is named for piles of mussel shells found along the shoals; another suggests that the shoals are shaped like the muscle in someone's arm. A third suggests that it came from the difficulty involved in trying to paddle upstream against the powerful current.
The area that Muscle Shoals now encompasses was largely farmland prior to the construction of Wilson Lock and Dam on the Tennessee River in 1918. Pres. Woodrow Wilson ordered the dam to be built to supply electricity to two nitrate plants that were part of the war effort during World War I, and housing for construction workers quickly sprang up in the area. The dam was still not finished at war's end, and automaker Henry Ford announced plans to buy the dam and create an automobile manufacturing center nearby, setting off a short-lived land boom. Congress rejected the sale of the dam to Ford, but the population continued to grow. The city was officially incorporated on April 24, 1923, and a mayor and five aldermen were elected on May 28.
Muscle Shoals and the surrounding region benefitted from creation of the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1933. The nitrate plants were converted to produce fertilizer for area farms, and the new agency initiated construction of a series of locks to make the Tennessee River more navigable.
Muscle Shoals gained renown with the opening of FAME Studios in the late 1950s and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in 1969, and the town soon became a center of the recording industry. Musical icons such as Aretha Franklin, Duane Allman, and the Rolling Stones recorded songs and albums at the studios, and the "Muscle Shoals Sound" became well-known throughout the world. Alabama-born musicians such as Arthur Alexander, Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett, Dan Penn, and Spooner Oldham also became known for their work in Muscle Shoals. The city's musical heritage has earned it a place on the Mississippi Blues Trail.
Muscle Shoals's population at the time of the 2010 Census was 13,146. Of that number, 80.6 percent identified themselves as white, 15.3 percent as African American, 2.7 percent as Hispanic, 1.6 percent as two or more races, 0.9 percent as Asian, and 0.3 percent as Native American. The city's median household income was $37,438, and per capita income was $22,850.
The workforce in present-day Muscle Shoals is divided among the following occupational categories:
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (21.8 percent)
· Manufacturing (15.6 percent)
· Retail trade (12.8 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (8.3 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, accommodation, and food services (7.1 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing and utilities (6.2 percent)
· Construction (6.0 percent)
· Other services, except public administration (5.6 percent)
· Finance, insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (5.3 percent)
· Wholesale trade (4.5 percent)
· Public administration (3.8 percent)
· Information (2.5 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (0.5 percent)
Schools in Muscle Shoals are part of the Muscle Shoals City School District; the city has approximately 2,470 students and 149 teachers in one preschool, three elementary, one middle, and one high school. Northwest-Shoals Community College is a two-year institution of higher education.
Muscle Shoals is intersected by U.S. Highway 43 (northeast-south) and U.S. Highway 72 lies just south of the city (east-west). County Highway 184 runs east from the city. The Northwest Alabama Regional Airport with two runways is located east of the city, and the Big River Airpark Airport is located to the south.
Events and Places of Interest
The original Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, located on Jackson Avenue, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. FAME Studios, located on East Avalon Avenue, is listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage. A history museum, Pathways, is located in the Muscle Shoals City Hall and features exhibits on the history of the town and Wilson Lock and Dam. The W. C. Handy Music Festival takes place in the area each July, and each October, the city hosts the Muscle Shoals Music CityFest.
Muscle Shoals is home to The Shoals resort complex, one of the stops on Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. The Shoals has two 18-hole championship-level courses: The Fighting Joe course is named after General Joe Wheeler, and The Schoolmaster course is named after President Woodrow Wilson. The facility also features the Marriot Shoals Hotel & Spa.
The city has three municipal parks and two sports complexes, featuring baseball, softball, and soccer venues, a swimming pool,
basketball courts, picnic areas and pavilions, and walking/running tracks.

The Report by Andrew McGlashan
January 25, 2013
South Africa 264 for 9 (Smith 116) beat New Zealand 260 for 9 (Munro 57, Elliott 54, Franklin 53*, Tsotsobe 4-45, McLaren 4-52) by one wicket

Teams: New Zealand | South Africa
South Africa nearly messed up another run chase, but Ryan McLaren's six off the final ball ensured they avoided their first limited-overs whitewash on home soil by securing a gripping one-wicket victory in Potchefstroom. Graeme Smith's tenth ODI hundred was guiding the innings only for another uncertain display from the middle and lower order to mean the game was never dead and it came down to needing three off the last ball.
James Franklin, who the ball before had Dale Steyn caught at deep midwicket, tried to bowl wide of off stump and McLaren responded by scooping him over fine leg. Still, while the crowd went wild, South Africa's celebrations, after the initial relief, were muted as they had still come second best in this series and, barring Smith, their batting performance was again one to raise concerns.
New Zealand never gave up and deserve immense credit for how they turned their fortunes around during this one-day series. For a side that fielded outstandingly, though, they will regret one moment when McLaren, on 6, was dropped at deep midwicket by Jimmy Neesham who approached the catch far too casually.
While Smith was at the crease the chase, while never simple, was under control. He had brought up his hundred with consecutive boundaries off Kane Williamson but attempting to loft the same bowler down the ground picked out long-on with 32 still needed from 26 balls. Rory Kleinveldt and Aaron Phangiso then both fell swinging across the line at Mitchell McClenaghan to set up the grandstand final over where eight were needed with two wickets in hand.
But Smith's innings deserved to be a matchwinner. During the course of his 130-ball stay he moved second in the list of all-time run-scorers for South Africa in ODIs, now just behind Jacques Kallis and Herschelle Gibbs. Early on he was given plenty on the pads to pick off, but the cover drive, not often a shot associated with Smith, twice made an appearance.
His opening stand of 83 with Quinton de Kock laid the ideal base to chase 260 but after de Kock misjudged his pull against Franklin the innings stalled as New Zealand applied pressure. Nathan McCullum's offspin was hard to score off and when South Africa called for the Powerplay in the 27th over Colin Ingram pulled the first ball of it to midwicket.
More loose shots followed, with Smith watching on from the other end. Faf du Plessis also picked out midwicket against Kyle Mills, Farhaan Behardien chipped a catch back to Williamson who did well to hold on while colliding with Smith and David Miller played a hot-headed hoick across the line shortly after Smith had reached his hundred. At 205 for 5 in the 42nd over New Zealand were back in contention and when they removed Smith the whitewash was on the cards, but McLaren managed to keep his cool.
New Zealand had earlier recovered impressively to reach 260, after familiar problems at the top of the order left them 68 for 4, with Grant Elliott, Colin Munro and Franklin hitting half-centuries. South Africa will again be concerned about how they could not finish off an innings with the ball as well as they had started.
Elliott, who played an important innings in Kimberley, began binding the innings together. Munro grew as his stay progressed and at one stage lofted Steyn for six having already taken debutant Phangiso for three boundaries in an over during a maiden international fifty. He had been given lbw against McLaren when he had 2 but he correctly reviewed as the ball had pitched outside leg and also took an inside edge.
Eventually, however, both batsmen fell to Lonwabo Tsotsobe who had made the early breakthroughs with the new ball. Elliott was the second wicket of the innings to be caught at third man and Munro edged a slower ball. New Zealand, though, benefited from their deep batting order which has been key throughout this series. South Africa, who were again slow with their overs but escaped punishment from match referee David Boon, also gave a helping hand by conceded 17 wides.
Losing regular wickets meant Franklin could not cut loose, but he took the innings as deep as he could with some smart batting. He managed to keep the strike after the ninth wicket fell in the 48th over and the final 11 balls of the innings brought 26 runs, including a six off the penultimate delivery to reach his fifty. It was enough to set up an engrossing finish.

Studio Albori's Casa Solare is perfectly designed to benefit from the sun's position in the sky, and it includes passive solar design details that allow the house to stay cool on the warmest of days. Overhangs above the abundant south-facing windows draw in the sun's heat during winter but block out the more intense summer sun. Phase change panels absorb the sun's warmth at daylight hours and then releases it at night to keep the house comfortable and shut out that Alpine chill after sunset.
The house is then topped off with photovoltaic panels on its roof to supplement the heat that a wood-burning stove generates for a steady supply of hot water and fuel for cooking. Casa Solare's north-facing facade has very few windows, which helps to keep heat in. Inside and out, the larch timber that supports the house's frame and lines the interior walls is left untreated.
Based in Milan, Studio Albori balances the free spirit of its architects and designers with the need to build its projects as environmentally responsible and energy-efficient as possible. Additional projects include a sustainably designed housing development in Costa Rica and renovated apartment buildings in Milan.
