Take flights to Florence for religious art and architecture, memorable markets and home-style Tuscan cuisine.
Things to do
Visit Florence's 15th-century San Marco Monastery to admire Fra Angelico's early Renaissance frescoes. A tranquil cloister leads to the monks' dormitory, where meditative images from the life of Christ fill the sombre whitewashed walls with pastel colour.
The friendly banter, hustle-bustle of people browsing and jumble of bargain-priced goods make San Lorenzo Market a highlight of any Florence city break. Haggle for leather handbags and flamboyant silk scarves at stalls lining Florence's cobblestone backstreets surrounding San Lorenzo Basilica.
Recharge and relax after flights to Florence under the wooden beams or arched brick ceiling of a centuries-old trattoria. These convivial home-style restaurants serve grilled bistecca alla fiorentina steak and Chianti wines at long communal tables covered with chequered tablecloths.
Riverside bars serve free aperitif snacks, and arched windows cast flickering lights onto the River Arno flowing by. Clink glasses and say cin cin on your Florence holiday at wine bars spilling out onto lamp-lit piazzas..
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Florence. Book a Florence flight in March/April to see the Easter parade or in September to watch the Rificolona lantern festival.

Cresson Lake Playhouse is pleased to present AIDA opening July 25 through August 10 under the direction of Claire Houser. She has served as Stage Manager for numerous CLP directors, graced our stage most recently seen in the Marvelous Wonderettes and Winter Wonderettes." Claire makes her debut as the director of Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA.
The production is a contemporary musical take on a grand classic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier is making its debut at Cresson Lake Playhouse and as forbidden love blossoms between them, the young lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Together, they set a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity.
Winner of four 2000 Tony Awards including Best Musical Score with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Aida shares a title and plot with Giuseppe Verdi's 1871 opera; it's an old-fashioned, wrong-side-of-the-Nile story about the ill-fated romance between Egyptian general Radames and a Nubian slave girl, Aida. Yet the songs that John's wrote aren't at all operatic. Nor are they steeped in rock Rather, John and Rice have aimed for something much more traditional — an old-fashioned family musical, complete with showstoppers and belted-to-the-chandelier set pieces. On those slim terms, Aida succeeds in much the same way the duo's slick score for The Lion King did. With a pop-rock score that features stirring ballads and rousing choral numbers, Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is a modern crowd pleaser that embraces multi-cultural casting and exuberant dancing, staging and singing.

Fantastic innings again from Clarke. Can't believe I was saying silly things like AB was better than him a year or so back. 4 200s in a year is outrageously good.
The bowling was just embarrassing. The only good thing to come out of this miserable day is that Imran Tahir will never play international cricket again. I honestly don't mind someone trying their heart out, hitting a length but still conceding 5rpo because of great batting and a flat track. However, bowling 20 overs and going at 8rpo by tossing up full-tosses and half-trackers is really unforgivable.
I still can't believe I actually witnessed that. I mean, I'm not dreaming, right?
^to be fair there was a period when AB was also god-like.
If they can pull it (which i don't think they can from 5 down) they should try and bat out all day tomorrow.
I hope Clarke goes on and gets 300 and beyond tomorrow. In fact 400 would be sufficient, he deserves it.
Clarkeh averaging more than Ponting atm.
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
I went to bed at lunch when Clarke had just arrived. Checked in the morning to see Clarke in nearing a double again and Hussey on ton again. Sadly I cant say I did not expect such development
What to blame SA performance on?

I've been working on this site for a few days, and it's my first serious attempt at a website to show off my graphic design.
Here's a work-in-progress version of the site: http://keithpickering.zxq.net/index.php
The homepage and portfolio pages are more-or-less done, and I'm working on getting WordPress configured for the blog page (I'm actually considering converting all 4 pages to WordPress to make everything easier to manage, after which I might add more dynamic content and a more detailed portfolio page)
The site was designed in Photoshop. It was also coded in notepad, because that's how I roll I guess.
I'd like any kind of criticism, because I want this to look as good as it possibly can. I'll even take minor nitpicks. Any slight detail that you believe could conceivably be executed in a different way, let me know. I want a site that doesn't turn people away from my work.
So yeah, all comments are welcome!
Also, some plans for the future:
Once I move to a better host that fully supports WordPress, I'm probably going to manage the whole site using it. At that point, the portfolio page links will end up working a little more like the ones on this site. You'll click a thumbnail, and a lightbox-style window will pop up showing a slideshow of different images and a longer description, more information, etc. The only problem is I have no idea how to do this as of right now, haha.
Nothing says unprofessional like a subdomain of a free hosting site, but maybe it's just me.
I love your illustrations, the dark backgrounds that keep contrast down, the navbar and logo. And usually I don't give positives in website reviews. But really, your illustrations are great.
I would love for this to be a horizontal-scroll site. They're new, innovative, and, if you can pull it off, super-cool.
Some of your pictures leave you ambiguously male or female.
The copyright text is a little too hostile for me. You come across as gruff...be nicer or turn it into a joke. I know what you're trying to do, but while this might dissuade people from stealing, it'll probably also dissuade people from buying. I think you could turn it into a joke by saying 'Contact me to steal something legally!' with a little smiley face or something. That way, you remind them that it is plagiarism, but don't harm people there for normal use.
Where's your call to action??? How do I hire you? do you even want me to buy from you?
What's the difference between work and portfolio?
One of the better sites I've seen here.
Hi, Spritanium your experience really laudable. i praise you for your well skill. actually a few days ago i was visited your web site.it was all kinds of fair design able information. i was took some tips from there. whatever in this site has many topics about web design and ideas.
First off, thanks for the kind words. If you really don't post positive reviews often, I guess I should feel special
The hosting situation is temporary; it's likely that I'll move onto a paid host with a domain name by the time I get everything finalized. I pretty much need a domain name, since the URL to my site will likely be included on future prints of that DVD case you see in my portfolio.
Haven't looked into horizontal scrolling, and I'm not sure about it. I'll consider it though.
For the gender ambiguity thing, that's just the caveat of being a male with long hair and being unable to grow a beard.
The comment on the copyright text is actually a little surprising to me. I intended it to be funny in its current state, but I can definitely see how it can be interpreted as hostile. Quick fix, just have to edit the footer.php file.
The call to action is sort of buried in the sidebar...it could probably use a rewrite.
The difference between Portfolio and Work is that the portfolio shows projects I have completed in the past, while the work page will talk more about what I do, my work process, and how one would go about hiring me. I just have to get around to writing the content.
Thanks again for the review; stuff like this really makes me want to keep going.
Edited the footer---I changed it to a more obviously humorous message, and just for kicks, I added a link with more information on my copyright policy.
That's all I ask.
You should
Truly fantastic. It's funny, but serious at the same time. I like the display animation.
cool designs, is your website going to be your name? Is it a portfolio or business website, for portfolio i would say thats awesome, but for a business selling them you should have a company name.
Yeah and the Sub domain thingy I'm assuming thats just temporary?
It's a blog and portfolio site, so the website is just my name. I don't have a company.
And yeah, I'm gonna go for keithpickering.com at some point.
You do some nice work, just keep expanding your profile, and like the poster above said side scrolling websites looks really nice when you have a very larger profile.
Keep up the good work.
I'm sort of working on a new effect for portfolio images. Click the first entry on the list to see what I mean.
Fixed width too large for my netbook, looks like it was designed FOR my 1920x1200 display at full screen... and that's not a good thing. Grey menu text on black is below accessibility minimums in terms of contrast, same for the grey on grey on the footer. While I realize this is a portfolio site the lack of anything resembling content on the home page saying what it is we're even looking at isn't all that great an idea.
At half a megabyte the page is easily three times the upper limit I'd allow for a page template... even for an artists page. You need to get a little more aggressive with your image compression.
You have no logical document structure, in fact your only H1 is "Copyright policy" -- from a search standpoint ALONE that's bad...
... and of course it's on the HTML 5 bandwagon -- which I could go and rant and rave about it setting coding practices back a decade or more, but really that's the least of your problems here.
So at a first look at your site i have no idea what it does. it kinda comes off as some cartoon website. than it turns into you are selling your services. there is no content on your home page there is only 3 photos and google will not craw your page much due to there being no content. i think your logo needs some work as its just a big white font and its way too big. i also dont like the popup that says "any and all information" you should change that to just "All information" Also the popups on the photos are very hard to read you may want to give that popup a white background.
To be frank, half a megabyte isn't a big deal, considering it's not 1990. I suppose I could stand to compress the jpgs a little more. It's a huge improvement over sites I've made in the past; I used to use nothing but pngs.
I apologize if you can't see the navigation and footer text well enough, but it looks perfectly fine to me and everybody else who has seen it.
Lack of anything resembling content? Do you not consider the instantly descriptive images which contain more detailed descriptions within them "content"? Honestly, if someone can't tell this is a portfolio site after seeing a giant image labeled "portfolio", they shouldn't be on the internet.
I honestly don't care that much about SEO for this site. I'm not trying to get the #1 result for "graphic design" on Google; I'm just trying to get together a showcase of things I've made in the past in case I ever need to show somebody. It's the same thing as having a paper portfolio---you don't publish it and put one in every library across the world; you show it to somebody who is interested in your work. Besides, search engines love WordPress, so after I get the blog section up and running, I don't think I'll have any problems with that.
About the document structure, again, the pages I have up so far focus more on images than textual content. You'll see a lot more headers on the two pages I haven't added yet.
There's nothing wrong with HTML5. Working with it is a dream. Please explain why it's a bad thing, because I'm legitimately curious.
The resolution is a valid complaint, but that's not my highest priority right now. For fixed width sites, you can make something that looks great on 1024x768, but entirely too small on mainstream resolutions. The average person is buying 20 inch monitors at the very least, so if a few people have to scroll horizontally for a few hundred pixels, I'm not too worried.
Thanks for your comments.
It's easy to think that -- until you realize you're actually right, it's 2012 -- which means we have ISP's in places like canada billing people for going over certain amounts of bandwidth, we have metered connection plans cropping up again worldwide as demand for bandwidth exceeds the capabilities of the existing infrastructure -- and you have all these nice new small form factor tablets, handhelds and phones that quite often are on poor throughput connections, metered connections, etc... Much less that sure, it's 2012, but massive swaths of America still don't have broadband availability -- from Coos County New Hampshire, almost all of western Maine, to large sections of the northwest and mid-west where there's enough people who want broadband, but they are too far apart to make it worth it to build the infrastructure for them... Could also simply be one of the dozens of people leeching free bandwidth at Starbucks or Panera Bread sharing a 768kbps connect over wireless while on break... in which case that broadband connect with ten users is now behaving like 56k dialup.
... and if you get real traffic, the bigger the site the more it costs to host.
Just something to keep in mind -- for a graphical website about artwork, you are, as you said, quite compact....
PNG has it's place -- several of your images would actually be smaller as palettized png than as jpegs... or could be made smaller as png than they currently are. The 10k 'yXeFv.png' for example is just a tiled gradient -- that could be compressed to half a k with no loss. The various little _bw.jpg icons are currently between 3 to 4k apiece for what should probably be 1k apiece as png.
It's the problem with image optimization... no one file format is always the answer; and of course Photoshop wouldn't know image optimizations for Internet use from the hole in it's DVD.
It's not so much about what I see or a few test audiences see, but the much larger usability experiments that resulted in things like the WCAG guidelines for chosing text and color contrasts. There are some basic rules you can follow to make sure you don't have those types of issues.
Like using the formula for emissive luminance:
Luminance = 0.3 * Red + 0.59 * Green + 0.11 * Blue
If the value of the two colors are below 50% apart (so in 0..255 RGB that's 128 apart) there are going to be usability issues, and it's a good idea to aim for around 75%. Of course, grey is easy because all the numbers are pretty much the same, so you can just skip the formula and say "if it's less than 128 apart, there's a problem".
Your background color behind the menu averages out at 9 using that formula, the #616768 grey averages out to 101... since 101-9 is only 92, far short of that 128, it's below accessibility norms. Brighten it up to say... #80888A, and it's not a problem.
Footer area is the same thing, if we take a slice of that background and gaussian blur the tar out of it, we get roughly #231E22, or 32... that #616768 text over it is again only 101, resulting in a difference of only 69 -- almost half the contrast that should be there.... so you'd want something around #98A0A4;
Personally, I'd kick both up to A0A8AC just for good measure. Even when being creative, when it comes to text there are guidelines and rules that make it pretty simple to keep yourself out of trouble.
Content you don't see until mouseover with no visual queues to say there's content unless you mouseover... isn't content. Also I don't know if it's that I browse with scripting disabled, only enabling it per site -- or Opera choking on the transitions, but your hover effects don't work there. I just checked it in FF and lo-and-behold, there's actually text on hover...
Maybe I shouldn't be on the Internet then, because I want "what gaint image labelled portfolio".... Then I found it; white (255) on orange (#FFBB33-ish, or 193) for a contrast of only 62, more than half the minimum -- which combined with the text blurring into the border doens't make it look like anything I'd consider a heading, or informative about the page...
But again, YMMV. Just my opinion -- backed by math from the WCAG and other accessibility guidelines that actually predate HTML or it even being called "the internet".
Makes sense. As a portfolio page it IS going to be a Image driven page so things like images off users are... well... really not worth worrying about; at the same time there are some things that could be done to help people who land on the page have some clue what they are looking at -- ESPECIALLY if your content doesn't even all fit on the screen.
Oh, it's a dream all right -- and Freddy Krueger is around here somewhere.
Without going into a massive diatribe -- the new structural tags are pointless redundant wrappers designed to placate the people who before 5 insisted on wrapping DIV or TABLES around their content for no good reason; The loosening of the structural rules and change from 'authoritive' to 'documentative' as a specification not only makes it cease to be a specification, but also undoes all the progress strict markup has given us the past decade. On the whole so far as markup is concerned the entire specification is crafted NOT for people who embraced separation of presentation from content or STRICT, and instead is for the people who until recently were vomiting up HTML 3.2, slapping a tranny doctype on it, then pretending they were writing modern code, as opposed to the truth of what they were doing -- having their heads permanently wedged up 1997's backside.
Which is why they had to put all the non-markup stuff under HTML 5's banner (which is almost as idiotic as the 'lets get rid of having versions' nonsense) -- because without CSS3, the new scripting, and the 'tags that shouldn't even have new tags' like CANVAS, AUDIO and VIDEO, well... the Emperor has no clothes.
Too small is really the least of the issues though since the average person is going out and buying tablets, phones and netbooks... meaning 1024 or SMALLER is more of a concern. While it annoys me to have a tiny little layout in the middle of my 24" screen - it's just an annoyance and not a deal breaker. I load it up on my netbook and all that's on the screen is half the display sucked down by your name/title, 'blog', Coming with the bottom half of 'soon' chopped off, and a semi-visible "portofol" -- the layout isn't exactly "viable for web deployment".
Though making multiple layouts with media queries to swap out or adjust that content could work wonders for you.
... and don't take my comments too personal -- just trying to help.
First off, thanks for pointing out the yXeFv.png thing. That's hosted on imgur and I've been meaning to host it myself. If you look closely, it's not just a tiled gradient; it has a subtle texture to it. Otherwise I'd definitely make it 1px wide. I'll work on compressing the images a little more; it's something I haven't really bothered with since I've just been trying to get it looking nice. I'll also definitely consider making an alternate stylesheet for lower resolutions. I was planning on making a mobile stylesheet anyway.
I made the footer text and nav text brighter. I liked it better before, but it doesn't make that much of a difference. And it might make a lot more difference to someone else, I guess.
I only have Firefox, Chrome, and IE installed, so I wasn't aware the descriptions didn't work in Opera. Cross-browser compatibility is definitely important to me (unless it's with IE6). I'll see what I can do about that. If you'd like to take a look at my code and tell me what I can do, I'd appreciate it.
I like HTML5---different strokes, I suppose. The only elements I'm really using are <footer> and <aside>, really. They could easily be replaced with divs if I wanted to do it in XHTML or something.
Changed the title of the page to include "Graphic Design". It's not much, but it instantly alerts the viewer to what the page is about. I'm not really interested in adding any extra text to the front page. For one, I like the simplistic style, and apart from that, it's like you said: the page doesn't fit perfectly on lower resolutions as it is. I think I could get away with adding some more information in the hover-image-mabobs. There's plenty of room there.
I wasn't trying to sound offended; I really am willing to take any criticism I can get. You seem to know what you're talking about.
You site look great, I very like the dark style.I only found a inconvenient in the homepage that I can not click profile block as a link when it displayed.Also I found the "blog" and "Portfolio" are link to the same page, is it for the sake that your site only for reviews now?
Oh man, I finally figured this out. I love php.
Now all I have to do is upload a directory with the project name, description, and images, and the thumbnail and slideshow popup are created automatically.
Note that I just implemented this, so a majority of the entries have only one image that's stretched down. This will be fixed. I also need to figure out how to make the fancybox window smaller.
I like your blog design.. are you making this own?
Very unique style Spritanium, I like it, original and fresh. I like the fancy box choice it works well on your site. The only thing im not too keen on is the idea of the website being tucked in on the top left of my page.
I agree with everything that was said here. The images don't have a lot of colors or detail - because they're illustrations, you don't need super high-quality images. At least use png files...no need for jpegs.
Pertaining to HTML5, the markup doesn't even match the web standards. For instance, the link tag isn't self-closing - it simply doesn't require a link tag.
I don't know if I'd aim for under half a megabyte for every page that I make, but for the lack of content and images, I'd say that you could easily make it under 300kb.
The fixed width is definitely too large....although I do love my 1920x1080 (16:9, sorry deathshadow) monitor
Also, don't say that it's not 1990 whenever deathshadow is around...which is...ever on SPF. He'll rip you for it...which he did Edit: I just read through the rest of your post and then deathshadow's post and...don't say anything that you said, or else he'll rip you for it...which he did
Again, I agree with everything that deathshadow said in his post on the 4th. You have to take into account accessibility. If you don't have Opera, get it. And please, develop for IE6, or at least make it accessible.

Luxury Performance Sedans
With the upcoming new Acura RL, Audi A6, Infiniti M, Lexus GS, as well as mainstays MB E and BMW 5, this segment seems poised to heat up. We could use this board to talk about these and other cars in this segment.
*Moderator: I could only add this discussion to the M45, RL, and 5 Series boards. If you could add it to the MB E, Audi A6, and Lexus GS boards, that would be great.

jrock65 Posts: 1,371
merc1 Posts: 6,081Just like the upper segment, the middle segment is indeed poised to heat up. Upcoming info and my opinion of each player in the segment.
Audi A6 - Not the styling knockout I had hoped for. Interior seems to be cluttered and not on the same level with the A8 design wise. New direct injection 3.2L V6 is nice, but the 4.2L V8 version seems to have lost the fender flares that make the current car so good looking. I'll have to wait until Oct to see the car in person to see if the new Audi Auto Union inspired grille really works on the smaller A6 body. I do like it on the A8L 6.0. Not sure if it will meet Audi's sales targets here. Future engines are rumored to include a version of the Lamborghini Gallardo's V10 and of course a S6/RS6 is inevitable. Reliability improvements needed.
BMW 5-Series - It has been said many time and many ways...the styling of this car is either a love/hate thing. Surprise(!) I happen to like it. What I don't like is the interior; they went backwards (imo). The traditional cockpit feel and design has given way to a furniture or club room look. Me no like. Of particular note is how the door grab handles line up with the dash when the doors are closed, a very clumsy design detail. The car seems to still be the dynamic leader, but the design details kept it from being a Car and Driver 10Best for 2004, a big deal imo as they loved the previous car. A pair of new inline sixes are due for 2005-06' I suspect as 184 and 225hp won't cut it in this segment after all these new more powerful competitors arrive this fall. The 545i already has what is considered the best V8 in the luxury car segment so no changes needed there.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class - the sales leader in this country and just about every other country around the world. Why? Variety. New diesel model (E320 CDI) for 2005. Eventually the E320 will become the E350 sporting the new 268hp V6 from the new SLK350. A new 4.6L 340-355hp V8 is also due to replace the 302hp E500 model sometime in 2005, probably as a 2006 model. This is the least controversial of the three German cars in this segment and I think this is an advantage, there is nothing unusual to explain or get used to here, just timeless classic styling inside and out. Reliability improvements needed! My personal favorite of this class in case you didn't know.
Acura RL - the current model is about as dead as car can be in this segment. Anyway at least on paper the new car seems to have all the 6-cylinder cars in this segment covered: 300hp and a new type of awd system, sounds juicy. Just going by the pics released today, the car looks like a giant Accord, even more so than the new TL. As per all the Japanese cars reliability is the strong point design is the weak point. Can't wait to see the first road test! No V8 or rwd from Acura so forget it folks.
Lexus GS - not even close to the LF-S concept shown right before its release. Typical Lexus quality and features are strong points. The styling however is nothing more than previous GS warmed over and made even more ungainly. Really interested in getting the details on the new V6 in the GS300. It is not based on any other Toyota V6 design and it only displaces 3.0 liters which tells me it will be closer to a Honda Vtec V6 in revving/power delivery characteristics, not your typical Camry/ES V6. I suspect before long the V8 GS430 will get a new more powerful V8 too. I still don't think this car will ever catch the E-Class or 5-Series.
Infiniti M35/45 - a hot new entry, as the current car is in the 99Cents bin with the current RL, despite class-leading V8 power. The new car is a total about face in looks inside and especially out. If it doesn't fall victim to Infiniti's patchy marketing and is priced right this car should bring some upper-middle buyers into the Infiniti showroom. Being based on the FM platform expect BMW 5-Series level or better handling.
Jaguar S-Type - a car that has aged a lot considering it was just introduced for 2000. The 2003 facelift was a revelation and for 2005 there is nothing really "new" except for a few cosmetic changes. The next S-Type is still a few years off it seems. A stylish car that doesn't seem to be that competitive with this segment.
I can't wait to see a comparo with all these cars!
buddhabman Posts: 252These are the rides for the new VP's or Directors or junior partners, etc. Whatever. ;-)
Thanks to Merc1 for the nice overview I just added one model the Cadillac STS and my impressions.
Audi A6 - The new face/grille is interesting. It will probably look better in person. IMHO the interior style leader bar none. Sheding some Lb's,upgraded power and suspension will help.
Wagons are nice but the MB E-500 sedan and wagon are something else. RS6 should be kept nad RS8 needs to come down in price. Hope reliability improves.
BMW 5-Series - No BMW hate here. Nice cars but you pay dearly. The 530i power specs seem low in comparison to others in segment, but thats what the 545i is for. The increase in size for the wagons is welcome.
Cadillac STS - The just announced base engine is too small 3.6L V6 - 255hp/252trq. I am sure the Northsar V8 either 275hp or 325hp DTS will be nice. Hope the handling is in line with the CTS, reports are that it will be a good handler. Nice sized just above E-Class and 5 series. If build quality is =/> the recent Deville than it should be nice. Before you dog BQ I have a 99 Deville that has never spent one day in the shop except for oil changes, bet you coudln't say that for the other luxury makes.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Nice styling on the new E-Class. Like Merc1 says every concievable model, plus the AMG models. The E-500 is awesome, the wagon, the AMG wow. Junior Exec about to get the boards big nod type car. Overall super nice, but need a liitle more sport in the models outside the AMG's.
Acura RL - Upgrade is needed and welcome. Honda can put together a winner whenever it decides to. I am sure the RL with the new new V6 300hp engine & AWD system and other Hi-Tech gear will be sweet. Like merc1 says "the car looks like a giant Accord, even more so than the new TL. As per all the Japanese cars reliability is the strong point design is the weak point. Can't wait to see the first road test! No V8 or rwd from Acura so forget it folks."
Lexus GS - Nice but not my style. If the driving dynamics are tuned to the sporty side these could be super nice cars. I don't mind the looks but it is the numbing driver experience that fails it for me.
Infiniti M35/45 - The New York Autoshow concept looks hot. If upgraded interior & handling mathes already top notch engine, then wow. The threat of the AWD GT-R added to the lineup will be something. Infiniti needs to market this car as the Grand tourer as capable as the German makes.
Jaguar S-Type - IMHO a great looking car, particularly with sport package of lowered stance and larger wheels. The S-Type R is sweet, the perfect grand tourer for me. I flat like the Jaguar aesthetic though. Needs an upgrade to more sport tuned handling (Broken record) and I think this car could be tops. It's generally priced right though. -
jrock65 Posts: 1,371Never thought I'd say this, but from pictures, I like the design of the M interior over those of the 2006 GS, 2005 RL, 2005 A6, 5 series, and E-class. They finally got the interior right this time.
The quality of the interior seems promising as well, although we'd have to see the production car in person. -
pen101 Posts: 238On my list for a replacement for my 2002 530i next year are the above cars as well as the Cad CTS-V and the BMW E90 (3-series). The competition is strong!
So far, I guess my favorites in the $40K range is the E90, at $50K is the CTS-V and at $60K the 545i.
It is too bad that the upcoming M45 and GS do not come with a manual. Otherwise I'd be more interested in them. -
golfgti47 Posts: 13dude, its no question really, go for the caddy. When was the last time you saw a 3-serries with a 400-hp v-8? Besides, bmw's are very nice, despite their horrible pricing for their vehicles. Besides, i think the cadillac looks better over the 3-serries. The CTS-V is unique, unlike every bmw 3-series you see on every street you turn on.
andy71 Posts: 96Why is Acura trying to look retro? The 05 RL looks exactly like the 1998-2002 Accords. Lack of V8 is disappointing. People want the low rpm torque in luxury cars more than the high rpm horsepower. 300 Hp is certainly enough but that Hp should have been backed up by 340 ft-lb of torque at no higher than 4000rpm.
dwongswong Posts: 63Even though I own a 2003 Audi A6, my pick for the performance sedan among the cars listed is the Mercedes E320 CDI. Why? Simple.
The exterior is beautiful and classic looking. The interior is not simple or overdone like the ones I've seen. The diesel engine will last longer as well as get great gas mileage. I'm sure it will run with the others fine.
I was hoping that the new A6 would keep me with Audi, but too many things I saw I did not like. -
saugatak Posts: 488nice summary of impressions.
My take:
RL - Classic, understated Honda styling, best v6 engine out there. If the SH-AWD lives up to the marketing, this should be a hit. I'm not so crazy about the interior, looks a little busy and crowded to me, location of the nav screen is too high IMO.
M45 - looks great interior and exterior. I just wish Nissan would smooth out their VQ engine. It's too loud and throaty for my tastes, although I understand some people like that. I think Infiniti has another hit on its hands like G35 and FX.
BMW 525 and 530 - I agree with Merc's assessments 100%. BMW needs to beef up its inline 6's with the Vanos technology from its v8. BMW has gotten on too long with the same i6 just increasing displacement ever 5 years or so by .2L. I really dislike the new 5 interior as well. The exterior is actually growing on me, but I only like the new 5 in dark colors, it looks bloated to me in lighter colors.
E class - the standard and just keeps ageing gracefully like fine wine.
GS300 - I liked the concept car look better but the actual car itself looks OK, nothing too exciting. Hopefully the v6 on this will be more powerful and it'll have better driving dynamics. If not, I'd put this car last in class. A car in this class has to have more than just reliability going for it. There's gotta be some sex appeal or fun factor. -
merc1 Posts: 6,081We're on the same exact page reguarding the E-Class and 5-Series. I agree the 5-Series is only right in certain colors (which is my excuse for liking the car), but more importantly it needs the big wheels and tires. I keep seeing silver 525/530s with those little wheels...yuck.
The RL and M45 I'll have to see in person.
shipo Posts: 9,152I drive a 2002 530i, and its engine is fully VANOS, as was my 1999 328i (the first year for fully VANOS engines). What the I6 engines are lacking are the new ValveTronic valve trains that no longer require a throttle body with a conventional butterfly. With the ValveTronic, throttling is achieved by varying the rise and duration of valve openings. By using the valve train as the only means of throttling the engine, I have seen estimates that engine efficiency can jump by as much as 30%, although in practice, I've never seen anything anywhere near that number.
Best Regards,
Shipo -
loslobos71 Posts: 28i have an 2001 A6 2.7T and really like it, and my wife has a 2001 Volvo S80, and i like it. Is the 2004 model any different from the 2001 one? Also, which enigine do you think is faster and more fun? i think that the A6 is a slightly nicer car, although with some options (and standard stuff on the premier) the S80 can be equally as nice. So simply, which would you reccomend? thanks.
lexusguy Posts: 6,419The S80 is a nice car, but its not something I would recommend that anyone buy new. The front end got a slight face lift for '04, and there are some new gagues, but otherwise its the same car. The reason I wouldnt recommend a new one is that the value of the S80 tanks immediately after it is driven off the lot. Of course.. the A6 is exactly the same way. I wonder if A6 4.2 buyers kick themselves when they find out their 2 year old $50K car is worth $30K.
That said, the S80 is infinitely more reliable than the A6, which is one of the worst cars mechancally Audi has ever made, and they make a lot of bad cars. -
spalding Posts: 1S80 depreciation can be bad the first year, but w. $5000 manuf. to dealer incentive in April, L.A. dealers are offering $10k off of a new T-6, bringing price down to about $38,000. Very attractive at that price, given that a 2-3 year old BMW 530 costs about the same or more. Any opinions on the S80 at that price?
lexusguy Posts: 6,419Why was your own name your subject? Anyway, even at $38,000, I just dont think the S80 is that strong of a value. The interior is kind of bland, and its not all that much fun to drive. For a FWD car, the new Acura TL is more reliable, has a much nicer interior, and the engine has more power than even the T6. All for maybe $34,000, and it will retain its value, especially considering how high demand is for the TL at this point. Another option would be like an '02 Lexus GS430, which would be around $38K. It has MUCH more power than the T6, and is much nicer and more fun to drive as well.

"From Here to Infiniti
Nissan's luxury division is developing a coupe and convertible off the upcoming 2005 M45 sedan. The new M45 is based on the Nissan Fuga concept unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last fall. The Fuga is, in turrn based on the Nissan FM (G35) architecture, but it's longer and bigger than the Skyline (G35). Indications are that the Infiniti flagship coupe and convertible both will be four-seat cars and won't be ready before the 2006 model year."
I guess they're not going to waste any time going after the 6 series and CLK. Wonder if they'll make a G35 convertible as well. Bet that car will look sweet. -
lexusguy Posts: 6,419I assume that this mystery Infinti is our Skyline GT-R. The timeframe would make sense, as that car is supposed to hit in the '07 model year, and its logical that it would be built off of the FM-L V8 RWD platform. I really hope that they get it right, it would be nice to have another sports car to compete against Corvette at the $50,000 range.
jrock65 Posts: 1,371I'm not sure about that. Apparently, the GTR has been pushed back until MY 2008. Plus, the GTR will be a high-performance machine to go against the likes of the NSX. This M based coupe/convertible sounds more like a luxo-cruiser to compete with the BMW 6 and the MB CLK.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

For years, I watched scaffolding surrounding the former Randolph Tower building downtown at 188 West Randolph. My office was located right across the street, so I passed it everyday wondering what was going to happen to this classic 1920s historic building. The former home of the infamous Steuben Club, the premiere private club in the 1920s, the building had been downgraded to a C class office building with a tired health club.
I was thrilled to see that this magnificent 45-story building, in the heart of Chicago's loop, has been refurbished, renovated and reborn into a luxury rental apartment building directly across the street from the Hotel Allegro and walking distance from practically anywhere in the Loop!
Randolph Tower City Apartments come complete with high-end finishes, modern amenities and amazing style. Choose your dwelling from a vast selection of nearly 40 custom floor plans. All units have hardware floors, 9-12 foot ceilings, granite countertops and portable islands, washers and dryer in the unit, oversized walk-in closets and spacious baths complete with soaking tubs and rain showers!
Floor plans range from affordable studio apartment ($1500-$1650/mo) to spectacular 2000 sq. ft. penthouse unit that include contemporary fireplaces, oversized baths, custom walk-in closets and marble floors ($4000-$6000/mo.) Convertibles, one and two-bedroom apartments are also available.
It's all about a luxury lifestyle here with access to the 24-hour fitness center, a 24-hour concierge in a grand hotel-like lobby and an indoor swimming pool with a sauna and hot tub, and outdoor sun terrace! That's where you would find me in the summer after a long day!
There's also a business center with a conference room, a full-service restaurant and outdoor café on the lobby level and ballroom event space. The Sky Park terrace has an outdoor lounge, gourmet kitchen and stunning views of the City skyline. The Sky Club sports a lounge, gourmet kitchen, video games, a poker room and a private movie theatre.
The developers didn't miss a thing. This premiere rental building is not just a place to live. but a lifestyle that will appeal to those that demand luxury, service and beauty. Units are now available. For more information, visit Randolph Tower City Apartments or contact the sales team at 888.691.9208.

Additional Information
The White Smoke Series consists of three models, White Smoke IN-12, White Smoke IN-74 and White Smoke MC-72, each a classic shape proven to please the eye. Their tour-proven white finish eliminates glare and "hot spots" on the crown while contrasting sharply with the turf to make aiming easy.
To further aid alignment, each model incorporates three black alignment lines on top to reinforce the player's ability to easily detect when the putterface is square to the target-line, promoting more accurate putts.
Every White Smoke Series putter is equipped with TaylorMade's tour-proven PureRoll face insert, which promotes forwardspin at impact for a smooth, accurate roll. And because the PureRoll insert is constructed of Surlyn, the feel and sound is remarkably soft, yet acute.

- Three clear black alignments lines on the crown reinforce easy alignment
- Surlyn PureRoll insert promotes forwardspin for smooth, accurate roll and beautifully soft feel

The Imam, Leadership, and Respect
April 27, 2006 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Imam, Leadership, & Respect
By Imam Abdullah El-Amin
"O ye who believe! Put not yourselves forward before ALLAH and His Messenger; but fear ALLAH: for ALLAH is He who hears and knows all things. 2. O ye who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk, as ye may speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds become vain and ye perceive not. 3. Those that lower their voice in the presence of ALLAHíS Messenger—their hearts has ALLAH tested for piety. For them is forgiveness and a great reward. 4. Those who shout out to thee from without the Inner Apartments—most of them lack understanding. 5. If only they had patience until thou couldst come out to them, it would be best for them: but ALLAH is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful
Hujurat: 1-5
On July 4, 1976, Imam Wallace D. Mohammed, leader of the Muslim American Society, delivered a stirring talk entitled "The Need For Leadership." In the talk were references to how leadership is subtly and overtly disrespected. This is done in many ways such as constantly finding fault with the leader, putting obstacles in his path or refusing to remove obstacles from his path, or treating him like "one of the boys." When the Prophet (s) was among us physically, ALLAH had to remind the believers to treat him with respect. Looking at where the people came from (Jahylia—ignorance) it is no wonder they had to be reminded. Can you imagine having the Messenger of ALLAH (s) in your midst and shouting into his house like he was your street running buddy?
We may wonder why ALLAH put these ayahs in the Qur`an. The Prophet (s) is no longer physically with us so He couldn't be talking to us about shouting into the Prophet's (s) dwelling. That is not physically possible. But since we believe that every word of the Qur`an is meant for our guidance, then, without doubt, ALLAH intends this as a sign for human beings in our dealing with each other.
Does this mean that we are to treat our leaders as kings and princes? No, not at all. But it does mean that we are to be intelligent and respectful to those ALLAH allows to be in charge. You may notice when the President of the U.S. enters the halls of Congress, everybody jumps to their feet to give him a standing ovation until he reaches the front. Then when the Speaker of the House formally announces him, the applause starts all over again. It is a respect for the office—not necessarily the man.
ALLAH reminds us of this because the community cannot prosper with such behavior. Yusef Ali says in his commentary that to behave in such a manner can destroy the good intentions of any service you may have wished to perform. You might be looked upon with disfavor without you even realizing your action was disliked. ALLAH says "most of them lack understanding," but nevertheless the damage is done.
In order for us to be successful, we must take on the spirit of the Qur`an. We must drop cultural and ethnic hang-ups and adopt the plain and simple, but strong language of the Qur`an. It's the only way to be Muslim and be successful.
As Salaam Alaikum

Restaurants in Montreal
Experience Québécois twists to French influences at Le Club Chasse et Pêche in Old Montreal. Head to the Plateau for winning bistros like Au Pied de Cochon, and an array of good-value ethnic restaurants. Mile End's best Greek food is at Milos; Chinatown and Little Italy offer the expected cuisines. Montrealers dine from 7pm/8pm until 10pm/11pm then stay for drinks, but many small bistros close Sunday or Monday. Tipping at 15% is the norm.
Outstanding sushi
Just outside downtown in Westmount, Kaizen is worth the trip for its
extensive menu of sushi, sashimi and maki. The eclectic décor makes some
nods to Japan, but the fish-tail chairs at the sushi bar are unique. Try the
