Infographic: World Cup Shatters Facebook Engagement Records
The World Cup set single-event Facebook engagement records within the first week. Now, with the tournament over, it is official: the 2014 World Cup is the most talked-about event in Facebook history. From June 12 – July 13, 350 million people generated 3 billion World Cup-related interactions.
Because the event takes place over the course of a month, it is hard to compare this one-to-one with a single day's event like the Super Bowl. Still, Facebook's data team crunched the numbers and yesterday's final between Germany and Argentina became the single most talked about sporting event in the social network's history; 88 million people generated 280 million interactions.

And if this world runs out of lovers, we'll still have each other.
This world that I found is too good to be true.
Standing here beside, I want so much to give you this love in my heart that I'm feeling for you.
I love the way you wrinkle your nose every time you get the tiniest bit frustrated. I love the way you chew on your bottom lip when you're trying to figure out what to say. I love how purely angelic you look when you sleep. I love waking up and kissing you awake. I love the way you have to run your hand through your hair every morning, making it stick up even more. I love how you spend more time in the bathroom than I do in order to get it "perfect". I love how you look just as good, if not better, in jeans and a t-shirt than an Armani suit. I love the way you make or order breakfast every morning because you know I can't cook, or is that because I'll burn the kitchen down? I love the way you get half-way through the door and turn back because you forgot to kiss me goodbye, or just simply wanted to do it again.
Let them say we're crazy.
I don't care about that.
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back.
Let the world around us just fall apart.
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart.
And we can build this thing together, stand in stone forever, nothing's gonna stop us now.
I love they way you make me smile. I love the way you laugh, and the way it makes everyone around you laugh. I love wiping away the tears after I've made you cry (in a good way), only to try and do it again. I love how that always backfires and you end up making me cry. I love hearing the phone ring during all of your breaks. I love hearing you say "Hey baby, I miss you" as soon as I pick up. I love the aggravated sigh whenever they call you back, but you know you love it. I love how we can have ten minute conversations about yogurt. I love how passionate you get whenever we talk about work. I love how concentrated you look when you're reading scripts, head down and adjusting your reading glasses every five seconds.
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now.
I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you, whatever it takes to stay here with you.
Take it too the good times, see it through the bad times.
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do.
Let them say we're crazy.
What do they know?
I love the way it feels to hug you, warm and safe. I love the way your arms feel wrapped around my waist. I love the way our hands look laced together. I love the way your hand always finds a way to run along my arm or my side, while the other rests against my cheek. I love the way you kiss. I love theway you make me butterfly-floating, palm-sweating, tongue-twisted nervous. I love feeling you shiver if I kiss you on that spot behind your ear, tremble if I continue doing it down your neck. I love how you're scared to be rough with me. Don't worry baby, I won't break. I love how you make something as simple as going for coffee romantic. I love how you're just as happy to stay home and watch a movie as you are to go to some fancy resturaunt. I love how you let me hold the remote, until I start making you watch something cheesy and you wrestle me for it back. I love how you always let me win and I change the channel just because. I love how you blush every time I even remotely compliment you on something dirty.
Let the world around us just fall apart.
Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart.
Oh, all that I need is you.
All that I ever need.
All that I want to do is hold you forever, forever and ever.
I love the way you can act like an eight year old, but stay mature enough to keep me balanced. I love how you always ask me about my day. I love how you keep trying to teach me how to cook. I love how you tease me after it turns out to be a disaster to show no hard feelings for making a huge mess. I love how it takes us forever to clean it up because we're too busy throwing it at each other. I love how you're not just my boyfriend, but one of my best friends. I love how I can tell you anything, though I don't take advantage of it like I should. I love how I can write entries like this, knowing that when I read it later I'm going to realize I left something out. So, in essence, I love everything about you. I. love. you.
So, there's some sap for anyone that wants it. Hayden and I got to LA on Friday. We got here mid-afternoon so he went and did some surfing while I unpacked everything. *smirks* I've really gotten around his house pretty well now. Neither of us felt like dressing up or cooking, so we went to McDonalds and ate slinked down in the front seat of his car in the parking lot. Its amazing some of the weird people that go to McDonalds at 7:00 on a Friday night.
Yesterday was my first day back at shooting. Most of it was just sitting around though. I could have thought of a lot of better things I could have been doing *coughs*likeHayden*coughs*. Don't even start the "OMG EW"s k. If you only had 6 days left with YOUR boyfriend before a who knows how long abcense, you wouldn't want to be sitting around either. We got finished around 5 though and I got to head back. We had pizza this time and brought it out to the beach. *smirks* The rest you guys don't want any details on I'm sure.
Ali and Nessa are SUPPOSED to come out here on Wednesday because Mandy scored me four tickets to see her premiere. I was thinking Ali, Ness, Jess, and I would go considering it is in all forms a chick flick and the guys probably wouldn't want to see it. I told Ali to bring Lacey too, since she may be gone when Hayden gets back from Austrailia =/. They can bond some more while we're at the movies. They're so adoreable together I swear.
That's my life in a nut shell? Now only to think of what to write in the other gazillion entries I had planned to write =/ But, now they're calling me back to film so I gotta go.
This entry brought to you by: ActII popcorn, Sam's Choice Cola.

Beginner, Emma Jeffery, Felt, How-To-Projects, Machine sewing, Sewing,
The holidays are a popular time to stop and thank teachers and all of the wonderful staff at school for all they do.
I spend a lot of my time making things and my children love 'helping' me with various crafts, glue projects and sewing. Of course, I want to encourage this creativity so we put together their own sewing kit which they can delve in and out of during our relaxed summer days
We began by purchasing an inexpensive, unfinished wooden box from our local craft center and the children chose some paints to decorate it. They decided they wanted a chalkboard label on the top, so after painting our box blue, we used a Fiskars Brackets Template to paint in an area of the lid.
I wanted to make sure the sharp needles were safely stored (so that they didn't end up on the floor!) so the children helped me make a needle book. First, I folded a cut piece of wool felt in half to make the cover for a little needle book.Next, I cut a second piece of felt slightly smaller than the cover to create the inside page, and finished the edges with my pinking shears.
I then used my letter stamps to finely stamp the word 'needles' onto the felt cover.
My son used the stamped wording as a template and with some embroidery floss, traced the letters with stitching.
Fiskars has a range of child friendly scissors for different craft projects. We made a little sheath for ours by simply cutting a piece of felt and folding it over. My son used my machine to stitch three sides, leaving an opening at the top.
My children love using embroidery floss because of the wide range of bright colors that are available, but it can quickly tangle and get into knots, especially in children's' hands. To keep the floss from tangling, I used my Pretty Scallops punch to punch a piece of cardstock and wrapped the floss around it.
I hope that with their sewing kit ready and waiting for them on the shelf, they will find that they have most things they need to spend some quiet, happy times, creating some wonderful things this summer.
Appropriate box – wooden or chipboard
Embroidery Floss
Sewing supplies – Pin cushion, tape measure, buttons, fabric scraps

Some of us navigate confidently from A to B, while others flounder around before inevitably turning to their smart phone for help. Now scientists have shown that how good we are at navigating depends on the strength of a "homing signal" in our brain. The study identified a part of the brain that tells us which direction to travel and have shown that the degree to which this area is active predicts how good we are at navigating. Hugo Spiers, a psychologist at University College London and co-author of the study, said: "This type of 'homing signal' has been thought to exis

Some recommend the 5:2 diet, others swear by living like a caveman, while Dukan and Atkins still have their devotees. Yet the millions of people devouring the latest slimming fads are missing an altogether simpler way to lose weight: breathing. Extra fat leaves the body mainly in the form of the carbon dioxide we breathe out, according to calculations by Australian scientists. There is, sadly, a fairly predictable catch: in order to release it, you have to eat less. The conclusions came as scientists attempted to answer what seems like a simple question: "When somebody
Unusual methane "burps" that could be evidence of life have been detected on the surface of Mars. Astronomers have described the discovery of periodic plumes of the gas by Nasa's Curiosity rover as "tremendously exciting" — but they have also cautioned that they could be produced by unexplained geological or astronomical processes. More tests need to be performed to determine the source of the methane, they added. On Earth, methane is predominantly made by biological processes, which has made it a prime target for those searching for life on Mars. Now new research, published in the journal

Try this at home! by Annaleena Project: Hanging Frames
Because all people have photos in their homes I figured that I would do something fun and different with photo frames. I have seen frames hung on threads which are visible many times and I simply like the asymmetry with that. It is just not letting the frames hang as they normally do but to let them hang sideways which feels like the new black. ;)
You need:
Thin rope
Photo frames
Black spray paint
Staple gun
One big nail, screw or hook
Then I tacked the rope on the backside of the frames with the help of the staple gun and hung the frames on the big nail. I tried out how the frames would hang before I made a knot with the three ropes around the big nail. Instead of a nail you can also have a screw or a hook.
Even if the frames hang in an asymmetrical way you can achieve a feeling of harmony because the frames have the same colour. I think in a symmetric room one can get a stimulating effect on the spectator's eye by using objects in an asymmetrical way.
I hope to see you then!

Knorr (/ˈknɔr/, often anglicized /ˈnɔr/) is a German food and beverage brand created by the Anglo-Dutch company Unilever since 2000, when Unilever acquired Best Foods, except in Japan where it is made under license by Ajinomoto. It produces dehydrated soup mixes and condiments. It was known as the Royco in Indonesia, and as the Continental in Australia.
Knorr was founded in 1838 by Carl Heinrich Theodor Knorr. Knorr headquarters is in Heilbronn, Germany. Products previously sold under the Lipton brand are now being absorbed into the Knorr product line. With annual sales topping €3 billion, Knorr is Unilever's biggest-selling brand.[1] In cooperation with Slimfast, also owned by Unilever, Knorr markets a line of low-calorie products.
An Israeli company based in Haifa, Israel Edible Products, produces kosher soups for Knorr that are sold in Israel and the United States.[2]
In 1912 the first Knorr Bouillon cube was introduced.
Knorr is available around the world and in every country.[citation needed] In 1957, flagship Knorr brands like bouillon and soups were sold in 8 countries and by 2000, Knorr products were sold in nearly 90 countries around the globe.
Throughout the 20th century, Knorr launched many recipes throughout the world – Knorr Soupy Noodles in India, Knorr Homestyle Stock in Canada and the US, Knorr soups across Europe and the rest of the world,. Knorr products are now used by 320 million people every day.

One Piece Unlimited World Red Review
Written by Milo Fisher
One Piece has been going for over 15 years now, and yet has never managed to find a video game genre that fit it. The series would often borrow from other franchises for its video game adaptations (see One Piece Pirate Warriors 2) but would never dare to be original. One Piece Unlimited World Red takes a bold step for the franchise by being the first original title to grace a home system, and it does so wonderfully.
Sound Shapes review
Sound Shapes is PSVita's newest gem. The downloadable music-making 2D platformer by Queasy Games is a unique and refreshing take on the music genre, and an excellent addition to Playstation's Play, Create, Share collection.

3-And-Out: Razorbacks Work For Better Tackling, Stopping Tigers' Dyer A Focal Point
by Chris Bahn
Posted 10/5/2011 08:00 pm
Updated 3 years ago
News and notes from Wednesday's Arkansas football media availability …
I. Tackling Bad Tackling
Arkansas linebacker Alonzo Highsmith wasn't caught off guard Wednesday when asked about the team's recent poor tackling performances. Why?
"I mean, it's the truth. We missed a lot of tackles these last couple games," Highsmith said. "The truth hurts. At the same time it's something that needs to be addressed."
Highsmith said the team has focused on additional tackling drills this week. Extra attention is being paid to making stops because of so many missed tackles against Alabama and Texas A&M.
Defensive coordinator Willy Robinson noted the team often works on tackling drills. Proper technique is taught, but "somehow, someway gets thrown out with the wash."
Poor technique is just part of the issue for Arkansas. Players were caught on film shying away from contact.
"… Courage is involved. I hate to say it, but sometimes you have to deal with the fact that you know what, don't turn down a hit," Robinson said. "We've had several of those as well."
II. Stop The Run, Be Wary Of Tricks
This week the defense has a pretty simple task against No. 15 Auburn. Stop the run.
Specifically, the Razorbacks need to stop Michael Dyer. The Little Rock Christian product ran 41 times for 147 yards and a touchdown in an upset against South Carolina.
"As far as them giving him the ball 41 times, I feel like they're saying, 'Unless this guy touches the ball, we won't win…' We have to take that into consideration. Just stop him."
Robinson said the workload didn't figure to wear down Dyer. Arkansas, which gave up 381 yards rushing to the Aggies, doesn't anticipate the sophomore to be tired on Saturday.
"He carried the ball for 41 times last week and as their coach said he is more than willing to let him carry it for 50," Robinson said. "With the pace that they practice at there is no way that youngster is going to be tired."
Arkansas will, of course, have to watch for trick plays. Auburn has used those effectively and also has found freshman quarterback Kiehl Frazier (Shiloh Christian) capable of spot duty.
Frazier has primarily been used as a runner. He had 49 yards on nine carries against South Carolina and enters as a change of pace to Barrett Trotter.
III. Bequette Update
Jake Bequette is closer to a return for Arkansas. Bequette practiced on Tuesday and was spotted dressed out on Wednesday.
Bequette wasn't available for interviews with media, but did an in-house interview and appeared to be walking without any noticeable effects from a hamstring injury that has kept him out of three games.
Coach Bobby Petrino hinted earlier in the week Bequette might be back. Petrino went a bit further on the SEC teleconference when asked if Bequette would be ready to play.
"It looks like it. He practiced [Tuesday] night and did a good job," Petrino said.
No word, however, on defensive tackle Robert Thomas. Petrino and defensive coordinator Willy Robinson both gave the non-answer answer that Thomas is "getting better every day."
Speaking Out
"Myself, I played horrible. I missed tackles. That's one of the things I talked to Coach [Petrino] about, coach Robinson. I just had to come out and make sure I had a better week of practice."
— Safety Jerico Nelson on his performance against Texas A&M.

Chao Fah Valley Bungalows
Only bungalows in town

By AbgAcid
What we say:
This long-running spot has about a dozen large concrete bungalows set around a leafy garden. The rooms have seen better days and don't burst with character, but they are well-kept and equipped with fridges, TVs, hot showers, small tables and wide porches. Fan rooms are virtually the same as air-con, except hotter. Beds are on the springy side and staff are often too busy to offer much help, but on the positive side, free WiFi works well and the rooms are set a good distance from the main road so they stay nice and quiet at all hours. The airport bus also unloads directly in front of Chao Fah Valley, making this an easy option if arriving after dark. Note that rooms are only accessible via a relatively steep and uneven concrete staircase.

Exellent servcie
We came in a group of 8, all on our bikes from Malaysia. Enough room to park the motorbikes. The air con rooms were sold out when we arrive and we opt for the fan bungalows. It was clean, large and very cheap at 300 bh per room. Hot shower, fan and even wi-fi.
The staffs were friendly and very helpful. We book the rooms and ferry to stay at Phi Phi through them. They have a registered company Black Tiger Tour. It was done in a breeze and everything was settled. NO rip off at all. Boat tickets were less than what you actually pay for if you had bought at the Pier.
Transportation from Chao Valley Bungalows to the Pier was arranged for free. Our bikes were parked at their parking lots while we spent a night at Phi Phi island. There was even a runner from the guest house at Phi Phi that came to greet and take us to the booked guesthouse. On returned to the mainland, we were again picked up by Black tiger Tour from Chao Fah bungalows, again it was free.
Very trustable and reliable bungalow and tour operator, Highly recommended. Look for the captain Mr.Os, he speaks good english, a joker!

Bulls fall to Wizards; Thibs defends players' minutes

WASHINGTON — The nation's capital was a good place for a history lesson Friday, and coach Tom Thibodeau provided one hours before the Bulls lost 96-93 to the Wizards at the Verizon Center.
Knowing his critics like to second-guess his distribution of minutes, specifically Jimmy Butler playing a franchise-record 60 in the triple-overtime road victory Wednesday against the Magic, Thibodeau went on the defensive.
"I think when you look at that, you have to compare apples to apples,'' Thibodeau said. "If you look at the top small forwards and look at where their minutes are, they all average 37-38 minutes. So if you want to say [former Bulls forward Luol Deng] played 20 seconds a game more than he should've, so be it. Overall, our minutes are way below what normal starters do. And if you guys study the history of the league, which I'm sure you do, you'd see that [Michael] Jordan and [Scottie] Pippen well into their 30s were playing huge minutes. So I'm trying to be like Phil [Jackson].''
Jordan averaged over 40 minutes three times, and in his final season with the Bulls, he averaged 38.8 minutes. Pippen had five seasons in which he averaged over 38 minutes.
"Yes, [Jordan and Pippen] did,'' Thibodeau said. ''I know. I sat on that other bench. I was always sitting there, saying, 'When's he going to take them out?' He never did. And you know what? That was great coaching. And [Spurs coach Gregg] Popovich was the same way with [Tim] Duncan early in his career. Pop and Phil are two of the best, maybe the greatest, of all time. How you pace your team is important.
"It's easy to look at a box score and say, 'Oh, that's too much.' But what you don't see is the days off in practice. You don't see what you have a guy do in practice. You may not have contact in practice. You may do shooting. You may do film. There's a lot of things that go into it. I think I have a pretty good understanding after 24 years of how to pace a team.''
In the Bulls' second loss to the Wizards in less than a week, it wasn't about minutes or workload as much as what Washington did down the stretch and what the Bulls (18-20) failed to do.
A Marcin Gortat lay-in with 2:46 left put the Wizards up 96-91. The Bulls cut the lead to three but wasted two possessions after that.
After a Taj Gibson miss, then a loose-ball foul by the Wizards, the Bulls got the ball back with 10.4 seconds left, trailing 96-93.
Mike Dunleavy came off a screen, caught the ball, then passed it back to Butler, the inbounder.
"I got open; unfortunately, we were a little too close to the sideline, and the inbounder's guy jumped to me,'' Dunleavy said. "I didn't have a shot, so I passed it to Jimmy.
"Ten seconds is a lot of time; you can get a two there. I just wasn't going to chuck one up.''
Butler tried to shake Nene with the clock winding down, but he couldn't and hoisted one up. Nene blocked it.

DSU marks gallery opening with naming ceremony
The art gallery on the campus of Dakota State University will be officially named the First Bank & Trust Gallery in a ceremony on Monday, March 14. The gallery is located on the first floor of the Karl E. Mundt Library and Learning Commons. The ceremony begins at 4:30pm and is open to the public.
The gallery is being named in recognition of a donation made by First Bank & Trust to Dakota State's capital campaign. "The support we have received from First Bank for our fundraising efforts is greatly appreciated," says Judy Payne, DSU's Vice President for University Advancement. "We talked to [First Bank & Trust Community Bank President-Madison branch] Jon Knuths about an appropriate way to acknowledge their campaign gift, and agreed that renaming the art gallery would highlight the banks' longtime support of the art community both at the campus and in the Madison area."
Official from both DSU and First Bank & Trust will participate in the naming ceremony. Following the program, guests can view the art on display in "Natural Selection 2.0", an exhibition whose theme revolves around nature.
The exhibit, at the gallery from February 1 through April 1, brought together artists from across the United States. It also includes work from artist Platon Alexis Hadjimichalis, of Brussels, Belgium, who is well-known as a pioneer in the use of organic materials in his work.
The gallery is the second campus entity named to recognize a gift to DSU's ongoing capital campaign. In May 2010, the auditorium in the Tunheim Classroom Building was named in honor of Glen and Caren Straatmeyer.
More information on the exhibit, including profiles of the artists whose work will be on display, can be found at the Madison Area Arts Council website http://madisonareaartscouncil.org/2011/01/31/natural-selection-opens.

Spinning System Turns Stem Cells Into Mini-Brains
Simons Foundation Autism Research Institute
Date Published:
October 30, 2013
Researchers have coaxed human stem cells to develop into simplified mini-brains, with regions resembling discrete brain structures, reported in the journal Nature. A spinning culture system prods stem cells to develop into neurons in three dimensions. The culture system is a gelatinous protein-rich mixture that provides both the structural support and nutrients required for neuronal development. Already, the researchers have shown that these artificial brains may model human disorders better than real mouse brains do.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

In the modern era, time and space are in perpetually short supply especially, it seems, with cars. A vehicle that's speedy and agile enough to slice and dice traffic is typically at odds with one that's also spacious enough for long-distance travel.
But BMW is offering a solution with its 328i and 335i Gran Turismos. New for 2014, the cars effortlessly slot in to the automotive space-time continuum by pairing the handling of its 3 Series driver's darling with interior space that exceeds that of its larger 5 Series.
The GT is a five-seat sport-tourer with a fastback roofline leading to a hinged hatch – an idea that would be sacrilege if it weren't so well executed. BMW's design department has pulled off a near miracle with this vehicular act of contortionism, tweaking the 3 into a sedan-ish, wagon-y hatchback. In the wrong hands, the result could have been a hideous, ungainly amalgamation that alienated all and satisfied none.
But satisfying it is.
Stretched 7 inches versus the 3 Series sport wagon to open a cubic foot of additional cargo space, the lengthier wheelbase also enables 2.8 inches more leg room for rear seat passengers, while the roofline, which has been lifted 3.2 inches, accommodates a higher seating position for better visibility and egress that delays knee strain until its passengers unpack the skis and snowboards they've been carrying and hit the slopes.
On a regular 3 Series sedan, the snow gear would probably be packed on top. But in the GT, there's ample room to put them inside. The rear seats can be folded in three parts, allowing cargo space to range from 18.4 cubic feet to a maximum of 56.5 when all three seat pieces are folded, although the seats don't fold entirely flat. They angle ever-so-slightly upward. With the center area folded, to allow for abnormally long objects, four people can still sit comfortably.
The main focus of the GT is its touring capability, the highlight of which is its utilitarian back end, which can be opened with an optional smart system that lifts the tailgate with look-ma-no-hands efficiency by the swipe of a foot under the back bumper. The cockpit is unchanged from the regular 3 Series sedan and sports wagon, which is to say it's curved toward the driver – a subliminal underscoring of the car's enduring and unquestioned rep as a sports car that just happens to have four doors.
The weight distribution of the rear-wheel-drive GT is split 50/50 in a car that's available as a 328i, with a twin-turbocharged, 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine; or the $47,775-plus 335i that I tested, with all-wheel-drive and a peppy direct-injected, twin-turbocharged, 3-liter, inline-six cylinder that was paired with an M Sport version of its already quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission.
The paddle shift-equipped eight speed is more fuel efficient than the six-speed manual gearbox 3 Series and can operate the powertrain in four different drive modes, including a new Eco Pro setting that offers distinctly un-3-like acceleration but, if desired, can decrease the car's fuel consumption by as much as 20 percent. It even does the math that shows the driver exactly how much farther the car can drive by doing so. Eco Pro was so limp on takeoff, however, that its use can only be recommended at cruising speed.
Even without Eco Pro, the GT is designed to save fuel over the long haul. Its steering is a lightweight, electro-mechanical system. And its ignition is equipped with start-stop technology that shuts off the engine when the car would normally be idling at stop lights and immediately restarts it when the brake pedal is released. The brakes are also equipped with an energy regeneration feature that captures the kinetic energy of braking and coasting and uses it to power the car's electrical system.
These fuel-saving features work regardless of driving mode, including the more foot-stompingly satisfying sport and sport plus settings, which are selected with the Driving Experience Control button on the center console. Even in Eco Pro mode, speeds that exceed 68 mph automatically eject BMW's first active rear spoiler to keep the car planted at speed. The spoiler can also be manually activated with the press of a button on the driver's side door – a button I mistook for the door lock the first time I pressed it.
The 335i GT's handling and ride quality is truly unrivaled for its price point. Wheeling the GT through the canyons for an afternoon, it was nimble as a gazelle, precise as a Swiss watch and glorious as all get out. While the overall suspension tuning on the GT is skewed for touring comfort, the double-pivot front suspension on the GT is similar to that of the 3 Series sedan and sports wagon. The rear suspension has been modified with a five-link design to save space.
The M Sport package enhances the GT with an aero kit, sport seats and lower suspension. It also gave my car an electric Estoril blue paint job – a color that was matched on the floating brake calipers that put the grip on larger, 18-inch alloy wheels. The inside was a high-contrast beige leather trimmed in textured silver metal that looked similar to snake skin and was just as cool to the touch.
It's beyond cliché to pen yet another review of a BMW 3 Series that says how great it is, but there really is a reason the car has landed on Car and Driver magazine's 10 best list for 22 years running. The GT is merely a continuation of its stellar rep.

Everybody—and every body—knows that the seasons affect moods. Winter darkness and cold make mind and body shiver with foreboding. We hole up to conserve body heat and save food. Sociable, creative fingers get numb and retreat into pockets. Wintry physiology encourages "seasonal affective disorder" (SAD) or seasonal depression. Language warns you to look out for Old Man Winter's frost "bite." He's a predator.
To cope with morbid winter, long before psychiatry, culture developed tools such as fire, furs, food storage, and uplifting symbolism. To manage morale, we reframe wintry death as a prelude to rebirth. The symbolism and rituals of the season coax imagination to compensate for the freeze. A Christmas tree evokes harvest time, with exuberant colored lights symbolizing a bumper crop of fruit and easing worries about starvation. The usual angel on the top idealizes youth, female fertility, and "spirit" or imaginative life, with wings that overcome the downward pull of gravity and the grave.

Click for the GS430 V8 Road Test

2007 Lexus GS450h Road Test By Nick Yost Photos by Charles Ofria
The car is the GS450h, a two-ton, rear-wheel-drive, mid-size sport/luxury sedan which will blister the macadam from a dead stop to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds - enough to put this Lexus in a dead heat with a Porsche 911 equipped with an automatic transmission.
The GS450h will also keep pace with or outgun its V-8 powered rivals up to its governor-limited 131 mile-an-hour top speed, carve a cleaner path through the atmosphere and return up to 25 miles per gallon of premium fuel in the city and 28 on the highway.
That was the message from Bob Carter, Lexus Group vice president and general manager, as the GS450h and its more conventional relative, the entry-level ES350, were introduced to a group of automotive journalists during a press conference at the Ritz Carlton Hotel on Lake Las Vegas a resort community some 20 miles southeast of Nevadas gaming capital.
Labeling the newest hybrid the most technologically advanced production vehicle in the world, Carter ticked off these benchmarks: first truly high-performance hybrid . . . first rear-drive hybrid sedan . . . among the quickest Lexus vehicles ever built.
And, on the subject of mosts, the GS450h, with a base price of $54,900, replaces the V8-powered, $52,070 GS430 as the most expensive of the recently redesigned Lexus mid-sizers.
The principles that governed the engineering of the GS450h are not much different from those which underpin the entry-level Toyota Prius, but the execution required ground-breaking technology.
For this car, the engineers have combined a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, massaged to 292-horsepower, with a couple of powerful electric motors and a battery pack. One electric motor, rated at 197 horsepower, drives the rear wheels by itself or in tandem with the gasoline engine. It also helps to recharge the vehicles battery pack. The second, rated at 180 horsepower, functions as a starter for the gasoline engine and generates electricity for the batteries. Together, engine and motors deliver power equal to that of a 339- horsepower V-8.
That was the easy part. The real trick was to devise a transmission that could effectively deliver hybrid power to the rear wheels and build it to approximately the same size as a conventional six-speed automatic transmission.
It was accomplished in a way that will be understood best by those who know the meaning of Ravingeux gearset and planetary arrays. To the rest of us, it functions as a continuously variable transmission, which is to say that it can adjust gear ratios to all power requirements without the constraints of six predetermined speeds found in a conventional automatic shifter.
The car is awash in other technological innovations. They include an electric power steering system and air-conditioning compressor, eliminating the need for belts; an advanced stability control system that goes to work when it anticipates driver loss of control instead of after detecting it; electronically controlled brakes; and an optional suspension system which adjusts the front and rear sway bars to eliminate excessive body roll in turns.
While all of that is impressive, the ultimate concern to anyone thinking of purchasing a GS450h is how it rides and drives.
Despite limited time behind the wheel, driving partner Charles Ofria, major domo of this website, and I were able to get a pretty good sense of the car as we put it through its paces on some snaky stretches of two-lane macadam in the Lake Mead National Recreational Area.
Leadfoot Charlie, apparently determined to see if the car really had a 131-mph cutoff, beat a path to the Red Rocks area in what may have been the days record time. We experienced and re-experienced - the cars tremendous rush of acceleration, but the restrictions of two lanes and occasional lumbering recreational vehicles kept him a few miles per hour short of reaching the Lexus upper limits.
I the older, more mature, more sensible motorist - took a different approach on the return trip. I kept my top speed to a modest 105 mph and maintained a much more leisurely pace, say in the neighborhood of 80 to 90 mph.
From this exuberant test of Lexus hybrid hot rod we were able to make a few important determinations.
When we returned from our excursion, we determined one more thing a prospective buyer needs to know. The battery pack gobbles up trunk space, leaving a mere eight cubic feet for the owners stuff. There is enough room for two golf bags, but the space will never work for a vacationing family of four.
To be fair, Lexus has not positioned the GS450h as a mainstream car. Its real mission is to educate consumers that hybrid power can be more than just an exercise in fuel savings and reduced emissions. The premium brand of Japanese manufacturer Toyota has set its U.S. sales goal for the GS450h at a very modest 2,000 a year.
Still, Lexus estimates that, driven similarly to the V-8 sedan, the hybrid will save 200 gallons of fuel a year and, probably most important to many, over a 150,000-mile life expectancy it will release 17 tons less carbon dioxide into the air than its V-8 competition.
The guess here is that Lexus will find enough well-heeled buyers who want to indulge their slightly guilty pleasures with a relatively clear conscience.
