England Under-21s manager Gareth Southgate is looking forward to the "different challenge" brought by this summer's Toulon Tournament.
The Young Lions boss will take an Under-20s squad to the annual competition in southern France, shortly after the European Championship qualifier with Wales on May 19.
There are 10 countries competing across two groups at the tournament, with England drawn in Group B alongside Brazil, Colombia, South Korea and Qatar.
"This will be a different challenge with the younger players in the group, as we head to the Toulon Tournament in France," Southgate said.
"That will see us playing nations from Asia and South America, so it's a different test for us.
"We need that for our development as a team and individuals, to face those different styles and experience being away with an intense programme of games."

This Is Me, Right Now
I've stopped blogging recently. A couple reasons for that - obviously, the new job. But the other reason, I'm not too proud of. I've gained more weight. I've been hovering between 162 and 165 for the past several weeks.
Initially, I didn't know why. Although I stopped going to the gym, I didn't think I was eating that terribly. But I was wrong.
It's embarrassing coming here and having to admit that, after meeting my goal of running my first 5K, and having so much momentum in the beginning of 2013, I am now way worse off than where I started. I've gained a good 15 pounds since the beginning of the year - a little more than that. I was so happy to finally be in the 140s, a place I find so hard to get to, but I didn't stay there long.
A little treat here, a little treat there. I had vowed not to have such an unhealthy eating style, and didn't want to deprive myself - but I ended being way too lenient with myself and ended up where I am today, in the 160s.
My highest. Weight. Ever.
Not only has this weight thing completely brought my self esteem down, but it has seemed to bring my age up. I mentioned I got a new job, and just last week, one of my new co-workers was asking me questions, trying to get to know me a little better. She asked me when I graduated high school, because she thought I looked around the same age as her.
Ummm, she is 40. I'm not even 30 yet. WTF??!! Obviously that was an awkward moment. I just wanted to run away and cry. I know that part of the reason I look older is because I'm so overweight and unhealthy.
I started this blog to document my weight loss, and also to document my journey to "finding myself", and I feel like a big fat failure. I know people like to read blogs for inspiration, and I certainly have not been an inspiration for the year (or a little more than a year) that I've had this blog. I know I've lost quite a lot of readers, partly because of this, and also partly because I just kind of fizzled out and stopped blogging. In other words, I didn't want to keep coming back here to talk about how I fell off the wagon again - after only a few days.
Everyone says that there is a moment when everything "clicks." Maybe I haven't had that moment yet. Maybe I never will, and it's not necessarily true. All I know is that I really want to lose this weight. More than anything. But I haven't been willing to make the changes necessary to lose that weight.
Thanks to anyone who has stuck around (if there's anyone out there). I've made a promise to myself that I will continue to blog, good and bad. But now I probably won't only focus on weight loss. I know my blog is weight-loss centered - that won't change - but there is definitely more to me than just weight loss, so expect some posts from me that are not about weight loss.
I was contemplating on changing the name of my blog, but decided against it. I'd like to keep this blog name - it's been a part of me for more than a year, so I don't want to change that.
Again, if there's anyone out there, thanks for sticking around. You'll be glad you did, I promise!

you say your not an inspiration but you are to some people simply because you are being honest and SO many people feel like they cant be honest about "falling off the wagon" when it is a reality that pretty much everyone faces at some point - even if it isnt in regards to weight.
Im happy to see you sticking with it though (blogging and to keep trying), I mean dont give up on yourself! A journey to a goal can SUCK thats for sure.... but reaching the goal is amazing, and even seeing progress. hang in there girl, you can do it :) i think being honest (with yourself, and on here even!) is really important and will help. it has for me, in a lot of aspects of my life. Trust me, ive been on the denial and procrastination train before, honesty is better.- AnonymousNovember 13, 2013 at 11:41 AM
don't give up! I am a fellow Minnesotan, and I understand getting in a slump. It is getting cold, and exercising outside (exercising any where) takes dedication. My diet choices have sucked lately as well, but we can do this! You are an inspiration..don't forget that!
ReplyDelete Heather, I understand that it is difficult to keep up with the daily battles of life, remember that you are cherished and loved despite weight and physical activity. It is great that you are acknowledging the struggle of truly "being a woman" in the battle of comparison.
Keep up with positivity and admiring yourself, no matter the number on a scale (:Keep up the good work! and stay positive :) I have recently lost quite a bit of weight as well and was searching for a skin tightening
treatment when I came across your blog! Anyway, like I said...keep it up :)

We received a lot of really amazing submissions from all ya'all bitches out there. We were stunned, inspired, and often brought to tears by your valiant efforts to bling underage hockey players. They have never been as sexy as they were under the layers of your glitter and dancing cartoon animals. We applaud your every effort. But, it has to come down to one. That's the thing with contests. Only one survives. So, allow us to explain why our favor has gone to this specific masterpiece. We get the very vivid feeling here that Viktor Ekbom himself constructed this masterpiece for his very own myspace page, in order to tell the world that he is, in fact, a cutie. The hearts in the background, the glitter of his jersey, all would match his meticulously planned background scheme, his right side aligned photo scheme (because he's just THAT COOL), his ironically sassy profile text, et cetera. We really appreciate a sense of realism in our Blingees. And this provides the height of it. Okay, so there, Untterfrivolity, send us your address and all of that shit so we can send you whatever we find as a prize. (Generally this involves us wearing short skirst and low-cut tops to the sports store to get free shit. Wish us luck.) Also, as a surprise bonus (A surprise even to Zoe!) I am awarding the "Kim is drunk and loves this" award to Ava. Here is why. There are fucking whales on his FACE. I can't avoid that. I will personally send you a magical prize of awesome. Just send us your address and all of your dreams (worst nightmares) will come true. Okay, well, that sums up the U21 Blingee contest quite while. We hope you all appreciate our selections. They are made carefully and with extreme attention to details. On another note, guess who's birthday is tomorrow! 24 years of kicking ass and taking names. Everyone raise a glass.

text: I have arachnoiditis and damage to the L5 nerve. I was referred by a neurologist to physical therapy which included some pilates machines, geritonic machine and mayofascial release massage. After several weeks of these treatments I had some pain relief and felt stronger. Then I woke up one night in 10 out of 10 pain, accompanied with edema in my legs and feet. Is it possible that the treatments described above could lead to a "flare up" of pain to include edems from inflammation?

NEW YORK STATE 4-H MEAT GOAT PROJECT FACT SHEET #10 April 1999 Cornell University, Ithaca , NY 14853 |
Male goat (buck) kids that are not being kept as future herd sires are usually castrated so that they will no longer be fertile. The exception to this is suckling kids that are slaughtered before they reach puberty ( become sexually mature). Fertile male goats have a strong smell during the breeding season and do unpleasant things like urinate on their beards to impress females. In contrast, a castrated goat (a wether) will not gross out your friends or the general public when you take him to a show. He will also be unable to accidentally breed other goats you own. It is less traumatic to castrate the kid when he is very young but this will make him more susceptible to urinary calculi because his urethra (the tube that carries his urine from his bladder to the opening in his penis) will not develop to its full size and is easier to clog up. Urinary calculi is when the urethra gets blocked up with mineral deposits and urine can not pass through it. If the deposits or "stones" are not somehow passed or dissolved, the kid's bladder will burst and he will die. Ideally, you should wait until your kid is 10 weeks old to castrate him but this is not always possible. Other preventions for urinary calculi that you should practice include 1) feeding a ration with a 2:1 calcium to phosphorus ratio, 2) adding ammonium chloride to his feed at a rate of about 15 lbs. per ton of feed or else giving him about ½ ounce (about a tablespoon) to 1 ounce (2 tbsp.) per day depending on his size unless his feed already contains it, 3) making sure he gets plenty of exercise and drinks lots of water (keep his water in the shade if hot and unfrozen if cold, always have salt available to him), and 4) checking daily to make sure he is urinating easily without straining and has no blood in his urine.
There are many ways to castrate a goat. Make sure your kid is protected against tetanus before you castrate him (remember those vaccines you need to be sure he gets!) and castrate him at least a month before you plan to show or market him. Here are some common methods of castration,
Use an elastator to place heavy rubber rings on the scrotum (the loose sac of skin that holds both of his testicles) - Place a special rubber ring on the elastator. Push the testicles down into the scrotum. Pass the testicles and the scrotum (but not the teats!) through the rubber ring. Make sure both testicles are descended through the ring and then remove the ring from the elastator so that the ring squeezes down on the scrotum. The scrotum will "die" or gangrene from lack of blood and fall off in about 2 weeks. An elastator is relatively light weight and cheap and easy for a young person to use. It does have a higher risk of tetanus than the other methods. It must be done while the scrotum is still very small, i.e. from 3 days to 3 weeks of age depending on breed size.
Use a burdizzo clamp to rupture the cords - Do one cord at a time. Push the cord to one side of the scrotum and clamp the burdizzo over it being careful to leave the teats above the crushing point. Close the burdizzo and count to 25. You should hear a crunch as you do it. You can also tug on the testicle to see if the cord feels ruptured. Open and shut the burdizzo one more time and then repeat the same procedure on the other side of the scrotum. Do not apply the burdizzo over the entire scrotum to attempt to break both cords at one time . You do not want this large a scrotum to gangrene. Instead, the testicles will gradually shrink and your wether will be left with a small empty scrotum sac. This method is the best to use during fly season because it leaves no big open wound. Goats must be between 4 weeks to 4 months of age with 8 to 12 weeks being ideal. Burdizzos are very heavy and may be difficult for a young person to use. It is not as reliable as the other methods because you can not tell for sure if the cords have been crushed.
Using a disinfected knife - Push the testicles high up into the scrotum. Cut off the bottom third of the scrotum with a sharp knife. Use your hands or teeth to grasp the testicles and pull them down. Do not let them slip out of your hands and back into the scrotum as this can cause infections. Scrape the cords of the testicles with the flat of your knife to gradually cut them or stretch them between two hands until they break. You can also tie them off with fishing line or dental floss and then cut them below the tie off point. You want to avoid cutting the cords abruptly because this will cause more blood loss.
Whatever method you use, you will probably need two people, one person to hold the goat while the other one castrates. The person holding the goat sets the goat on its tail and then stands or kneels behind it. They should then grasp the front legs of the goat and bend them around the back legs at the knees. Hold on to the legs at this joining point and let the other person know when you are ready for them to castrate the goat.
After castrating, spray the scrotum with an antibacterial spray that also repels or kills flies. The kid will be very unhappy or depressed for a few hours and then gradually recover. Exercise will help keep any swelling down so try to avoid confining him in a tiny area. Keep him out of the mud and rain though.
Suggested Activities |
Learn to identify bucks, wethers and does. * (This is also a good time to talk about hermaphrodites or intersexes and what
their private parts sometimes look like. Intersexes sometimes have a round
structure protruding from their vagina -from pea to marble sized. They may act
"bucky" and have shaggy thick hair on their topline like a buck. If you try
to examine their vagina with a speculum, you will often find that their vagina
is much too small for the speculum to fit in).
Draw the
reproductive organs of a male goat and label them.
Learn how
to castrate goats with your 4-H group and then do your own buck kid.
Find out at
your local feed stores which feeds contain ammonium chloride.
the calcium to phosphorous ratio of your goat's diet.
your goat's water consumption daily for a week by marking off quarts and
gallons on his plastic water bucket and compare it to other goats in your 4-H group. Discuss
the results with your group. *

Revised Romanization | waibeuro |

WiBro (Wireless Broadband) is a wireless broadband Internet technology developed by the South Korean telecoms industry. WiBro is the South Korean service name for IEEE 802.16e (mobile WiMAX) international standard. By the end of 2012, the Korean Communications Commission intends to increase WiBro broadband connection speeds to 10Mbit/s, around ten times the current speed, which will complement their 1Gbit/sec fibre-optic network.[1]
WiBro adopts TDD for duplexing, OFDMA for multiple access and 8.75/10.00 MHz as a channel bandwidth. WiBro was devised to overcome the data rate limitation of mobile phones (for example CDMA 1x) and to add mobility to broadband Internet access (for example ADSL or Wireless LAN). In February 2002, the Korean government allocated 100 MHz of electromagnetic spectrum in the 2.3–2.4 GHz band, and in late 2004 WiBro Phase 1 was standardized by the TTA of Korea and in late 2005 ITU reflected WiBro as IEEE 802.16e (mobile WiMAX). Two South Korean Telcom (KT, SKT) launched commercial service in June 2006, and the tariff is around US$30.
WiBro base stations will offer an aggregate data throughput of 30 to 50 Mbit/s per carrier and cover a radius of 1–5 km allowing for the use of portable internet usage. In detail, it will provide mobility for moving devices up to 120 km/h (74.5 mi/h) compared to Wireless LAN having mobility up to walking speed and mobile phone technologies having mobility up to 250 km/h. From testing during the APEC Summit in Busan in late 2005, the actual range and bandwidth were quite a bit lower than these numbers. The technology will also offer Quality of Service. The inclusion of QoS allows for WiBro to stream video content and other loss-sensitive data in a reliable manner. These all appear to be (and may be) the stronger advantages over the fixed WiMAX standard (802.16a). Some Telcos in many countries are trying to commercialize this Mobile WiMAX (or WiBro). For example, TI (Italy), TVA (Brazil), Omnivision (Venezuela), PORTUS (Croatia), and Arialink (Michigan) will provide commercial service after test service around 2006–2007. While WiBro is quite precise in its requirements from spectrum use to equipment design, WiMAX leaves much of this up to the equipment provider while providing enough detail to ensure interoperability between designs.

In Korea, KT (Korea Telecom) offers Wave 2 (18.4 Mbit/s, 4 Mbit/s) for 10000 KRW/mo (around $11 or €6.50) with 1 GB data usage to 40000 KRW/mo with 50 GB data usage plus free access to their own WiFi hotspots, ollehWiFi. The service coverage is advertised as nationwide, but actual coverage is restricted to every si, some railroad station, airports, and major highways. SK Telecom also offers Wave 2 WiBro Service for $18.87 a month with 30 GB data usage. Actual service coverage is limited mostly to major cities and highways.
For short term visitors, KT rents WiBro modem and bridge at KT Roaming Center in Incheon International Airport. As of September 2011, WiBro-only USB modem costs 5,000 KRW per day plus 100,000 KRW deposit, WiBro-HSPA USB modem and WiBro Egg cost 8,000 KRW per day plus 150,000 KRW deposit. One-day rent is free at KT Roaming Center, and requires credit card and passport. So far I know, you can also rent in inside Seoul, but in case of, rent in the Incheon Airport. Also it was working in Daejon, which is almost 2 hours from Seoul away by bus.
In India, Tikona Digital Networks (Independent services provider) offers WiBro service for up to 2 Mbit/s and 4 Mbit/s in many cities in India. 2 MBit/s Unlimited monthly costs Rs. 649.00 (roughly $14).
As of February 2012, KT covers about 85% of the South Korean population. SK covers Seoul and a few other major cities in South Korea. User-created coverage information maps can be found on Coverage.co.kr.
This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (September 2009) |
In November 2004, Intel and Samsung Electronics executives agreed to ensure compatibility between WiBro and Mobile WiMAX technology.[2]
KT Corporation, SK Telecom and Hanaro Telecom(acquired by SK Telecom and renamed to SK Broadband) had selected as Wibro operators in January, 2005. However, Hanaro Telecom has cancelled its plan for the WiBro and returned WiBro licence in April 2005.
In September 2005, Samsung Electronics signed a deal with Sprint Nextel Corporation to provide equipment for a WiBro trial.[3]
In November 2005, KT Corporation(aka Korea Telecom) showed off WiBro trial services during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Busan.
February 10, 2006: Telecom Italia, the dominant telephony and internet service provider in Italy, together with Korean Samsung Electronics, has demonstrated to the public a WiBro network service on the occasion of the 2006 Winter Olympics, held in Turin, with downlink speed of 10 Mbit/s and uplink speed of some hundreds of kbit/s even in movement up to 120 km/h.[4]
In the same event Samsung tlc div. president Kitae Lee assured a future of 20–30 Mbit/s by the end of this year (2006) and >100 Mbit/s down/>1 Mbit/s up in 2008.[4]
KT Corporation launched commercial WiBro service on June 2006.[5]
Sprint (US), BT (UK), KDDI (JP), and TVA (BR) have or are trialing WiBro.
KT Corporation and SK Telecom launched WiBro around Seoul on June 30, 2006. More about the KT launch.[6]
On April 3, 2007, KT launched WiBro coverage for all areas of Seoul including all subway lines.
As of March, 2011, KT's WiBro coverage is expanded nationwide covering 85% of Koreans.

This week the Illinois State Library spotlights the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.
A young mother of three joined the Leer es Poder program at College of DuPage to improve her English. The woman was shy and very hesitant to speak at first, but she always did her homework and slowly gained confidence in her English speaking abilities. By the end of last year, her English skills had greatly improved. She even recruited her husband to join the program and helped him to understand and pronounce English words correctly.
The woman has become a class leader and volunteers to read and answer questions. She has started speaking English with her children, and both parents enjoy interacting with their children during Parent and Child Together time. This family has been transformed by this important literacy program.

- From 0 to Ca new series of workshops that aim at teaching programming using a more creative and human approach.
- Created by Ubi de Feo, "from 0 to C" is a new series of workshops that aim at teaching programming using a more creative and human approach.
Through the use of tangible, hand-made objects, I try to establish a clear understanding of how a computer works and what a programming language actually is: nothing but an abstraction of what we can do as humans.
"from 0 to C", originates from the need to prepare students to hardware (in particular Arduino) workshops in the shortest time possible.
During the past few years, as an Arduino trainer, I realized that while getting a LED to blink was fun, the real barrier lied in understanding the very simple code you needed to achieve it.
in detail:
// code here
// code here
For a coder that approaches Arduino, and possibly has some experience with other languages/frameworks (such as Processing or OpenFrameworks) this constitutes no issue, but for the beginner, the artist, the industrial designer who wants to start prototyping, these can appear as walls they constantly have to crash against.
If you ask them why, most of the times the answer will be something along the lines of "I'm a creative person, this structured stuff is not for me".
While merely 5 years ago I considered myself a coder, now I see my role mainly as creative, because the way I solve problems involves a lot of (creative) thinking.
My main issue has always been that I can never be happy of how I know something until I can visualize it and translate it into something that my brain can grasp and finally own.
My experience with computers is longer than 20 years (actually getting closer to 30), and my fascination with these machines brought me to always analyze their processes in a way that could be related to what a human could understand.
The need for visualizing, touching, physically moving has been the primary drive.
The break-through was when I finally could see that everything a computer does is either a very dumb or very smart implementation of what, as humans, we are able to do.
Typing, drawing, recording, solving math, simulating physics, communicating with other people and many more examples.
The more I analyzed these things, the more I tried to split them into smaller parts, until from the bottom to the top I could trace every step and realize if I had it or not.
This process has been evolving in auto-pilot in my head and teaching workshops, meeting people, sharing experiences, participating to online activities has kept adding blocks to this subconscious container of information until it suddenly started taking shape.
So, after the lengthy introduction, what happens in these workshops?
At the moment I'm trying to make modules that lead to understanding of several levels, up to teaching Arduino and explaining more about other hardware.
The method is based on stories, anecdotes, discoveries about numbers, math, electronics etc.
Some stories are fictional and only used to support the concepts.
There are analogies and games I use to explain numbers and other concepts, making them easier to grasp, stimulating curiosity and helping digest topics that are usually exposed in ways that are hard to "like"
I try helping the student to connect to things in a more emotional, sense-centered way, because if
we don't feel forced into something, but genuinely want to learn out of passion/curiosity, we are more prone to establish a tie with the subject, finding interest in it.
how do we do this:First of all we put our computers away.
There will be no code, no editor, no screen.
The tools to become a programmer are paper, pens, tape, candy, ping-pong balls, wooden boxes, cups and other common objects.
We start from 0, so we have to tell some stories about numbers, and how influenced by your knowledge of numbers.
erase all you know, start learning to count and move on, through short stories, anecdotes, parallels, trial and error.
The whole class moves through several stages of interaction with the teacher, in which they execute simple tasks and are able to document them.
In a few hours the class is (unwillingly) turned into the human representation of a program.
This program becomes more and more complex, but because the whole class is involved, it is simple for the single student.
While these mechanisms are implemented more concepts are learned, and digested slowly, with breaks and more games involving boxes and ping-pong balls, the way we "count" using them, challenging each other to represent quantities in optimized ways.
When the machine is running, all that we have is sketched out and if the system works, it's time to write it down.
From that point on it's just a matter of teaching you the simple syntax of a language (it could be C, Processing, ActionScript, JavaScript. it won't matter).
At this point the student has a clearer vision of what he/she has to deal with, and when the logic is clear, the techniques and the virtuosity that will be implemented over years are just the result of getting better at it, and the scope of this primer is not teaching you to be the best C/Processing/Flash/Arduino/MSP coder/hacker, but one who knows what he/she is dealing with and has a better attitude towards problem solving.
In my years as a teacher I've learned that the quality of interaction you have with a class defines how much they will absorb of what you have to tell.
Inspired by how ancient philosophers used to transmit knowledge and provide stimuli to the students, participation of a class is key to the group's success.
The paradigm is (not really) new, and it's evolving (for now just in my head), but it's open to input and criticism.
The goal of "from 0 to [...]" is to be a stepping stone in a trend to motivate people with a high level of commitment in education, and possibly start teaching other scientific subjects with the passion that nowadays is so hard to be found in schools.
An empiric crash course in programming or hardware can help a young mind discover if he/she wants to be a programmer, an engineer, a hacker, a graphic designer, an architect, an astronaut or something else.
I hope soon I'll be able to make this method simple enough to target kids, as I believe only good things can come from future programmers and hackers that love what they do.
I realize that details about these workshops are scant but I'm open to questions about them and other education initiatives by Hello, Savants!

Who Wants a Free Uncle Luke 4 Mayor T-Shirt With Bonus Poster and Sticker Pack?
DJ Stephanie Turk and the honorable Luther Campbell. |
She's the mastermind behind those bold UncleLuke4Mayor.com tees popping off the shelves at Sweat Records in Little Haiti and Shoe Gallery in downtown Miami. Turk tells Crossfade she came up with the idea as a way to capture a pretty dope moment in Miami history and launch her brand, "I Am Miami."
"2 Live Crew and DJ Laz inspired me to be a DJ," Turk says. "The idea for the tee just popped into my head. It's pop culture commentary."
Selling for $25 a pop at the aforementioned stores and online, the white tees feature bold letters in Uncle Luke's favorite colors of orange and green. Turk has also made posters and stickers. "I will donate a portion of the proceeds to his campaign," she says, noting she is not officially affiliated with Campbell's campaign. Nevertheless, she says, "It is a fun thing to be a part of."
Turk says Sweat and Shoe Gallery have ordered up more shirts and that "I Am Miami" will be releasing a second t-shirt giving props to the Miami Heat soon. On May 14, she'll be handing out an Uncleluke4mayor.com mixtape during a fundraiser for Campbell's campaign at Eve Nightclub with Notorious Nastie.
She was also gracious enough to give Crossfade a large UncleLuke4Mayor.com t-shirt, a poster, and a pack of stickers to give away. The first reader to correctly tell us the name of the all-female rap group that was signed to Campbell's label Luke Records during the 1980s gets the prize!

These thin-as-crêpe omelets, adapted from a recipe in Yotam Ottolenghi's Plenty, can be filled with almost anything: sautéed spinach, smoked fish, mushrooms, cheese, crispy bacon, cooked ham, or, as Ottolenghi does, saffron potatoes, crème fraîche, and Swiss chard. You can make them ahead and rewarm them in a 300°F oven. Served with a salad, they make for a light, satisfying lunch.
- 1Heat the oven to 300°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- 2Place eggs, milk, and herbs in a large bowl, season with several pinches of salt and pepper, and whisk until eggs are broken up.
- 3Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick frying pan or 8-inch crêpe pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add a quarter of the egg mixture (about 1/3 cup) and rotate the pan to distribute the mixture in a thin, even layer until it reaches the edges of the pan. Cook undisturbed until the edges start to brown and the egg is just cooked through, about 30 seconds (you do not need to flip it). Carefully slide the omelet onto a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining oil and egg mixture to make three more omelets. (It's fine to stack the omelets on the baking sheet.)
- 4Spread a quarter of the crème fraîche or sour cream over half of one omelet, fold in half to enclose the crème fraîche, then in half again, forming a fan shape; set aside on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining crème fraîche and omelets. Evenly space the filled omelets on the baking sheet and place in the oven until heated through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Reader Email
So my girlfriend and I were taking a roadtrip down to our Palm Beach vacation when we decided to stop by a Chik-Fil-A for some grub in the middle of no-wheresville Florida. I stop into the restroom to take a piss when I'm waiting for this man and his two kids to finish washing their hands. The dad tries to get them out quickly but the younger kid lingers (probably about 5 or so). He's looking at me through the mirror kinda contemplating. For background, I'm an asian born in Pittsburgh and raised in NYC but you know with the slanty eyes I look um asian. Anyways this kid looks at me through the mirror and starts whisper-singing that gangnam style song to my face ("Eh- Sexy Lady, Oppa is Gangnam style"… old news like tebowing I know but it's Florida so there's that). His redneck dad realizes what's going on and practically drags the kid out of the restroom. So I get back to my table and tell my gf what just happened and she thinks it's the fucking funniest thing in the world. Wants to call all her friends and tell them about it. Thinks it's "cute". I tell her I wanted to drop-kick the kid in the face right then and there and that I would powerbomb the next kid that ever did that to me, prison be damned. As the token black barstool writer I thought I should ask you: is it racist? Who's right me or my gf? Should I Steve Nash powerbomb the next kid that gangnam styles me? Isn't it like singing the macarena to a latino's face (is it racist)? Like singing YMCA to every gay guy's face you see?
Absolutely one of the most hilarious descriptions of underage racism I've ever heard. Little man Gangnam Style'd you in a Florida bathroom? I didn't even know we could do that!
Of course…we can't. Because it's racist. But here's the thing: there's an explicit difference between little kid racism and adult racism.
Adult racism is ugly. It's mean-spirited, petty, ignorant, and usually the last-ditch effort of some small-minded person who's lacking the vocabulary necessary to otherwise win a dispute. It's one of the worst things a human can do to another human because it shows our inherent stupidity as a species.
Having said that — little kid racism is much different. Sure there are historical examples of really vile little kid racism like those bastards in tiny Klan sheets shouting the N word with dad back in the 50′s and 60′s knowing damn-well what it meant, but most little kid racism is innocent and light and lacking in any understanding. Children don't yet know the proper boundaries. It takes years to learn proper racism etiquette such as politely whispering your racist comments in a friend's ear or creating codewords for each race that sounds like you're only talking about sports (Browns, Redskins, Vikings, etc).
So young'n Gangnam Style'd your ass in a Florida Chick-Fil-A bathroom, huh? Seems borderline, honestly. For one you said he lingered behind and contemplated before he busted out the Heyyy sexy lady which is definitely fishy. If he didn't know it was against the rules he wouldn't have hesitated. To me, little PSY knew that he shouldn't do it but did it anyway because 1) you're Korean 2) Gangnam Style is Korean and 3) God knows when he'll have this chance again. On a scale from 1 to Tiny Klansman, this is about a 6.
So sorry, Dan…I'm with your girl on this one. Even though the kid will probably turn into some b-hole alcoholic whose hobbies include beating his wife and noodling, he's a kid now so it's funny as hell. He wins and you can't do anything about it because he's a child and literally doesn't know any better.
PS – Macarena? Everybody knows go-to racist song to Latinos is either Livin' La Vida Loca or La Bamba.

Emory University is supporting the city of Atlanta's green-building strategies. Currently, all new city buildings are required to achieve a LEED Silver rating from the Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Green Building Council. According to the Cambridge, Mass.-based Sustainable Endowments Institute, Emory University has more square feet of LEED-certified buildings than any other campus in the U.S. University trustees have committed that all new construction will at least attain LEED Silver certification. The university intends to achieve LEED Gold with its new first-year-student residence halls—Ignatius Few Hall and Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans Hall. The residence halls' unique rainwater- and condensation-reclamation systems will provide water to flush all toilets.
Ignatius Few Hall and Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans Hall currently are being constructed near Emory University's first sustainably designed residence hall, Turman Hall, and are part of a plan for a high-performance freshman housing complex. Few and Evans Hall will total 111,000 square feet (10312 m²) and feature large smart classrooms, multipurpose rooms, lounges, studies and a demonstration kitchen. When Atlantabased Newcomb & Boyd was selected to be the engineer of record in 2006 for the new 293-bed residence-hall facilities, the drought conditions affecting most of the Southeast weighed into the design process. Methods of reclaiming water without having to treat it at a municipal facility are becoming more prevalent in the U.S. In particular, the concept of reusing rainwater and condensation waste from air-conditioning equipment for domestic purposes in commercial buildings is increasing in popularity.
Downspouts will empty into exposed brick runnels that are a visible part of the landscape design. The brick runnels will carry the water down a slope alongside a main pedestrian route, and the water will spill over a stone weir into a bioswale. The bioswale filters and slows the flow of storm water before it reaches the cistern below. Condensation-waste reclamation significantly augments the unpredictable nature of rainfall accumulation by as much as 300,000 gallons (1135500 L) annually, most of which is collected between May and September. Condensation from the buildings' air-conditioning equipment will be collected through gravity drainage and conveyed through an underground piping system. In lieu of a traditional above- or below-grade singular tank to store captured rainwater and condensation, the system features a series of high-strength plastic chambers installed in rows below grade.
Although the idea of reusing available water sources for processes usually performed with municipally supplied water initially may seem simple, the idea quickly can become complicated in practice. Critics of environmentally conscious design may argue that these systems increase the complexity of a building, thereby neutralizing any benefits. A system of many parts, however, does not mean it is inherently problematic. If designed and implemented properly, intricately planned systems can operate efficiently and smoothly; the idea is to make buildings more self-sustaining with less maintenance. The traditional approach of gathering water from a stream or lake, treating and transporting it on a massive scale, and paying for the network to support the process is going to be transformed by having self-reliant buildings give back to the matrix of utilities that supply them. The new residence hall complex at Emory University is one such endeavor.

UNI Football Camps Offensive Coaching Staff
Bill Salmon Associate Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator
Highly regarded as one of UNI's best quarterbacks ever, associate head coach and co-offensive coordinator Bill Salmon has served as an assistant coach in all 35 Panther FCS playoff games in the program's history. The 2012 season will be Salmon's 27th season as a Panther assistant coach. In 2012, Salmon served as the wide receivers coach along with his offensive coordinator duties, leading the receiving corps to a successful season. Salmon saw senior Terrell Sinkfield rack up 499 yards through the air as one of Sawyer Kollmorgen's main targets. Salmon also led a young group on the receiving team with Brett LeMaster shining as a sophomore with 601 receiving yards and four touchdowns. As offensive coordinator, Salmon helped the UNI offensive finish with 2,594 yards in the air and 1,637 yards on the ground. During the 2011 campaign, Salmon helped UNI to a 7-1 MVFC record, sharing the MVFC crown. In 2010, Salmon led the UNI offense to a No. 9 ranking in the nation in rushing offense and No. 1 ranking in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Salmon also took over as the Panthers' running backs coach in 2010, where he oversaw the running of honorable mention all-MVFC back Carlos Anderson. In 2009, Salmon directed the Panther offense to a Missouri Valley Football Conference-best 417.3 yards per game. UNI also topped the MVFC in passing efficiency and ranked 11th in the nation in that category. The Panthers put up 367 points on the season (33.4 per game), including seven games of 28 points or better. Quarterback Pat Grace was the MVFC first-team selection at quarterback, tight ends Ryan Mahaffey and Schuylar Oordt were second-team honorees, and wide receiver D.J. Hord was named honorable mention under Salmon's guidance. Salmon (SAHL-mun) rejoined the Panther staff in 2001 as associate head coach, offensive coordinator and assistant in charge of the wide receivers. Prior to his return to UNI, Salmon served as the offensive coordinator at the University of Kansas from 1997-2000. Salmon was also the running backs coach for the Jayhawks in 1999 and 2000. "It's still UNI," he said upon his return to the Cedar Valley. "Still football. Still people I know. It's easy. This is home." Salmon is a native of Cedar Falls, a graduate of Cedar Falls High School and a UNI football alum. Salmon started three years at quarterback (1973-75) for the Panthers and was known for his excellent throwing arm, quick release, great quickness, speed, football knowledge (he called about 75 percent of his own plays), and was superb at running the Panther veer attack. He ran as good as any running back, and was not afraid to do so. He was a third team all-America selection and North Central Conference Offensive Player of the Year following his senior campaign when he led UNI to the NCAA Division II playoffs. He set a multitude of school records, including throwing for 4,342 regular season career yards and gaining 5,371 yards in total offense. He was drafted in the 10th round by the Minnesota Vikings, but an off-season knee injury ended his playing career. Former UNI director of athletics and head football coach, Stan Sheriff, called Salmon "the greatest and smartest quarterback I've ever coached. He can throw the ball a mile, runs like any back and could even kick if we asked him to. I've never seen a quarterback with as much talent, confidence, poise and knowledge as Bill Salmon has. But it's his take-charge attitude and game-breaking capabilities which really makes him great." Salmon first served as a UNI assistant from 1983-96, coaching the wide receivers and running backs. He was Farley's first appointee when he was hired at UNI as head coach. "Trust is the number one reason," Farley said when describing why he wanted Salmon on his staff. "I was a defensive coach and I wanted someone I could turn the offense over to, and let them control that phase of the game." In 2005, the Panthers' offense flourished and set a school record with 6,008 yards of total offense. UNI also set school marks in points scored (449), offensive plays (1,024) and first downs (298). UNI ranked No. 6 in the nation in pass efficiency, No. 31 in passing offense, No. 32 in scoring offense and No. 34 in total offense. The Panthers placed first in the Gateway in passing efficiency, fourth in pass offense, fifth in rushing offense and fifth in total offense. The Panther offense continued to put up impressive numbers in 2006. UNI ranked No. 4 in the nation in total offense (408.3 yards/game), 8th in passing efficiency (152.45 rating), 10th in rushing offense (219.3 yards/game) and 11th in scoring (31.0 points/game). In 2006, the Panthers led the league in total offense. In 2007, UNI led the league in total offense (457.31 yards/game) and ranked second in the league in passing efficiency (168.19 rating). The Panther offense set school records for points (469), rushing yards (2,956), rushing touchdowns (39), first downs (322) and rushing first downs (163). The UNI offense put together one of the finest seasons ever in 2007 under Salmon. The Panthers scored 469 points to set a school record and tallied the most rushing yards (2,956) in school history. In 2008, the Panther offense set a school record with 661 rushing attempts while earning a No. 3 seed for the FCS playoffs and racking up a school-record tying 12 victories. He tutored a pair of freshmen to the Missouri Valley Football Conference's All-Newcomer team in Jarred Herring and Josh Collins in 2008. Collins led the Panthers with 502 receiving yards and 32 catches, while Herring led the team with four touchdown receptions. Salmon has coached 33 Panther all-conference selections, 13 all-Americans and six wide receivers who have gone on to play in the NFL, including wide receiver Dedric Ward, who was a third-round selection in the 1998 NFL draft by the New York Jets. His wife's name is Kim. He was born Jan. 27, 1954, in Des Moines, Iowa. He graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1972, where he was an all-conference, all-district and all-state selection and a team MVP. The Salmon File Awards & Honors
Coaching Experience
Playing Experience
Mario Verduzco Co-Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach
Biomechanics, Motor Learning and Cognitive Psychology ... Affective, Psychomotor, Cognitive and Physical - the four domains of learning ... all terms and phrases used by co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco in his daily language of teaching. Verduzco developed a Quarterback Seminar, which is widely regarded as one of the best quarterback teaching situations in the nation. Each summer, during the month of June, Verduzco employs five seperate seminar sessions, each with a maximum of eight quarterbacks to teach young men from around the country the mental and physical skills and tools required to become an effective and efficient quarterback. When UNI head coach Mark Farley went looking for a quarterbacks coach, he could not have landed a better technician than Verduzco. Since his arrival at UNI in 2001, Verduzco has spun his magic with the Panther signal callers. In 2001, UNI true freshman quarterback Tom Petrie was named the league's Freshman of the Year and to the league's All-Newcomer team. The Panthers also benefited from the play of backup quarterback Griff Jurgens during the '01 season. Jurgens led the Panthers to a 5-1 record as the starter including a pair of playoff victories over Eastern Illinois and Maine. After Petrie sustained a season-ending injury in the team's fourth game of the year in 2004, redshirt freshman Eric Sanders took over the role and was named the league's Freshman of the Year when it all was over. He completed 95-of-150 passes for 1,307 yards, setting a school freshman record, and seven TDs. Under the assistance of Verduzco, Sanders developed into one of the nation's best FCS quarterbacks. Sanders finished his Panther career ranked No. 1 all-time among FCS quarterbacks with a 69.59 percent completion percentage. Sanders completed his Panthers' career as the school's all-time leader in pass completions (714) and total offense yards (9,579). Sanders finished second in the 2007 Walter Payton Award balloting. Verduzco's teaching extended to a new quarterback in 2008 as Pat Grace took over the reins from Sanders. Grace put together a fine season through the air and on the ground. Grace passed for a team-high 2,041 yards and 14 touchdowns, while rushing for a team-high 11 scores that earned him second team All-Conference honors - in his first year as the starting quarterback. Not to be forgotten about in 2008 was the play of backup quarterback Zach Davis, who earned league All-Newcomer status despite only starting three games. Davis did the unthinkable as he led the Panthers to a perfect 3-0 record in three conference road starts. In 2009, Verduzco coached Grace to first-team All-MVFC honors. Grace finished third in the voting for the league's Offensive Player of the Year after he led the conference and ranked fifth in the nation in passing efficiency. He also led the conference in total offense as a dual-threat quarterback, passing for 2,280 yards and 20 touchdowns while rushing for eight more scores. In 2010, Verduzco developed Tirrell Rennie into a second-team All-MVFC quarterback. Rennie produced the first-ever 1,000-yard rushing season by a UNI signal caller. Rennie finished with 1,291 yards and 14 touchdowns rushing on the season. He also threw for 1,526 yards on the year. During the 2012 season, Verduzco coached young redshirt freshman Sawyer Kollmorgen after losing stand-out quarterback Rennie to graduation. Verduzco led Kollmorgen to finishing with 2,594 passing yards and 22 touchdowns on the way to winning MVFC Freshman of the Year and Newcomer of the Year honors. Kollmorgen finished second in the conference in total offense averaging 228.4 yards per game and in passing average per game with 222.7. He also finished first in pass efficiency at 141.9. Kollmorgen passed for over 200 yards in nine games this season including a season high 333 yards against Youngstown State. Verduzco spent five years (1996-2000) working with the signal callers and as recruiting coordinator at Rutgers University in Piscataway, N.J., the last season as head quarterbacks coach. During his tenure at Rutgers, he developed what has been described as one of the best Quarterback Schools in the country, when young players from around the country spent four days learning the skills, both mentally and physically, of quarterbacking. His prize pupil, Rutgers quarterback Mike McMahon, quarterbacked the Detroit Lions and is a former Quarterback School participant. In total, he has coached four quarterbacks who have gone on to play in the NFL. Added to the list is UNI's Tom Petrie, who signed a free agent contract with the Washington Redskins in April 2005. Verduzco himself learned the trade from the best, working under head coach Terry Shea at San Jose State and at Rutgers. Shea has moved on to coach in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and most recently with the St. Louis Rams. Prior to being named at Rutgers, Verduzco was associate head coach, Offensive Coordinator, and quarterbacks and receivers coach at De Anza College in Cupertino, Calif., beginning in 1991, moving up to head coach from 1994-95. While coaching at De Anza, he spent time with arguably one of the best NFL coaches in history as both Bill Walsh and his mentor, Shea, conducted a private NFL quarterback camp at De Anza. Verduzco began his coaching career at Soquel High School in 1977 before moving on to Gavilan College as Offensive Coordinator and quarterbacks and receivers coach in 1987. From 1990-91, he served as graduate coach at San Jose State before moving on to De Anza. The cousin of former Illinois and British Columbia record-setting quarterback Jason Verduzco and uncle of former Yale quarterback Bobby Verduzco, he graduated from San Jose State in 1988 with a degree in Human Performance. He received his master's in Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology from SJSU in 1990. That's when he authored the book "Quarterbacks Born or Made? The Biomechanics of the quarterback position: An integrative approach." Upon his appointment at UNI, Verduzco said, "I think (the Panther quarterbacks) have enjoyed having me come in. I don't know a lot of things, but I know three things - there is a God, I'm not God, and the best thing there is in the world is coaching offensive football and quarterbacks." Farley said, "Mario coaches quarterbacks like I coach linebackers. He's real detailed. He's in-depth about angles." Verduzco was born on May 23 in Pittsburg, Calif. His wife's name is Cate and the couple has a 17-year-old son, Charles. The Verduzco File
Rick Nelson Offensive Line Coach
Rick Nelson will direct the offensive line again in 2013 after helping the Panthers rewrite the record book in recent seasons. Nelson is entering his 24th year as an offensive line coach in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. During the 2012 season, Nelson coached the offensive line to help the Panthers rack up 1,637 yards on the ground and the line only allowed 11 sacks on the season. He coached junior Dan Kruger to a successful season with the junior earning MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors during the season. In 2011, Nelson and the offensive line won a share of the 16th-MVFC football crown with a 7-1 conference record. The title was the seventh since 2001. In 2010, the UNI rushing offense ranked No. 9 in the nation and No. 1 in the MVFC. UNI's Tirrell Rennie ranked No. 16 in the nation in rushing, while Carlos Anderson ranked No. 37 in the nation. In 2009, the Panther offense ranked 10th in the nation in scoring, 13th in total offense and 14th in rushing offense on their way to racking up 417.3 yards per game. UNI also ranked seventh in the nation and first in the MVFC in sacks allowed per game. Offensive tackle Austin Howard was recognized on the AFCA FCS All-American team under Nelson's tutelage and center Austin Steichen was named a second-team All-American by both the Sports Network and the Associated Press. In 2008, he had a pair of tackles drafted in the National Football League Draft. Chad Rinehart went in the third round to the Washington Redskins, while Brandon Keith was selected in the seventh round by the Arizona Cardinals. Under Nelson's guidance in 2007 the Panther offensive line cleared the running lanes for Corey Lewis, who set a school record with 1,513 rushing yards, while also picking up blockers and creating throwing lanes for Eric Sanders, who finished second in the balloting for the Walter Payton Award. Nelson is one of four former Panther players on this year's staff and he was re-hired by UNI in February 2000 after spending 11 years at Missouri State in Springfield, Mo. Nelson was a two-year letterman for UNI as an offensive lineman when he played from 1980-83. He received his bachelor's degree in 1984 and served as the Panthers' Strength and Conditioning coach and graduate assistant for two years before going to Garden City Community College as offensive coordinator and strength coach. The Bronc Busters placed second in the Jayhawk Conference in 1987 and captured the title in 1988. From Garden City, Nelson moved on to MVFC-foe Missouri State University, serving as offensive line coach from 1989-99. He was head football coach and physical education instructor at Woodward High School in Woodward, Okla., in 1999. While playing for the Panthers, Nelson was a member of the 1984 and '85 conference championship teams which advanced to the FCS playoffs. At Missouri State, he was a member of a staff that broke 35 offensive records. He coached four Bear offensive linemen who signed with the NFL. Six of his Missouri State players were named all-American, 20 were named all-conference, four were selected Academic All-Americans, and two were named to the MVFC All-Decade Team. Two of the Missouri State teams won consecutive conference titles and advanced to the FCS playoffs during his tenure. Nelson has coached nine linemen who have gone on to play in the NFL, 12 all-conference selections and four all-Americans at UNI, including Ben Deike, who was named a first-team College Sports Report.com all-American, second-team by the Associated Press and The Sports Network, in 2003. Luke Stigler was a first-team all-conference pick in 2004. Chad Rinehart was a first-team all-Gateway pick in 2005 and 2006, while Joe Lobdell was an honorable mention all-conference pick in 2005 and earned second team honors in 2006. Brad Harms was an NFL free agent in 2000. Nelson received UNI's "Oil Can Award" in 1983, given by the coaches to the player showing ability, performance, attitude and leadership. As a prep at Urbandale High School, he was selected to the Iowa High School Boys Athletic Association All-State Football Team, Central Iowa All-Conference, and Urbandale's MVP in 1978. He and his wife, Jamie, have two children - Nick, 26, and Wes, 22.

In looking at "How Our Gutless Media Helped Trigger the Credit Crisis," Trudy Lieberman examines (Columbia Journalism Review, 11/20/08) "just one piece of evidence of the decline of the consumer movement, the rise of consumerism to replace it and the media's role in both trends." Lieberman recalls then-New York State Gov. Eliot Spitzer's veto of a state bill to curb exactly the type of usurious credit card interest rates which "pile on debt that has contributed to mortgage foreclosures."
Whatever the merits of Spitzer's argument, it was an important discussion for New York and the rest of the country. But his veto was like the proverbial tree falling in the empty forest. The AP's Albany bureau sent out no story, and the news editor does not recall why. A Nexis search found only one brief mention of the veto, in the Albany Times Union.
In short, "Spitzer sided with the banks and the media were silent."

The PGA Tour travels to the Buckeye State this week for the 39th playing of The Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Stretched out to 7,366 yards, the course will present a stern test for the players who have earned invitations to the prestigious event.
This week at The Memorial, 73 players in the field will trust a Titleist golf ball for their success, more than five times the nearest competitor with 14 and more than all competitors combined.
Titleist was also the top choice among players in the iron (30), sand, lob and approach wedge (120) and putter (42) categories.
Check out the slideshow above and join us for an inside-the-ropes tour of the action from earlier this week.
Good luck to all of #TeamTitleist this weekend!

In this tip, Titleist Brand Ambassador John Hahn (a two-time All-American golfer at Kent State University and European Tour rookie) talks about the key features of helping golfers become better ball strikers. John talks about keeping your swing simple and focusing on a critical piece to building a solid swing… making a complete shoulder turn.
"Making a shoulder turn is one of the most vital pieces of the golf swing," John explained. "It's going to allow your scores and your ball striking to become more consistent day in and day out."
Another key that John shared with us is to focus on using the big muscles to swing the club. Inconsistency arises when players try to steer the club with the smaller muscles of the hands and arms.
Watch the video above to see John's swing in action.

Seven Facts About Freddie Mac and Foreclosures
Are you confused about the foreclosure process? Many people are. And that's understandable, given the many players, the operational complexities, and the capacity challenges the housing industry faces today. From my perspective overseeing Single Family Portfolio Management at Freddie Mac, I see the following facts – important facts that sometimes get overlooked:
- Freddie Mac owns or guarantees about 12.4 million single-family mortgages. Less than 500,000 of these loans are seriously delinquent (i.e., 90 days or more behind on payments). So while we account for some 23 percent of the market, we account for only about 10 percent of the serious delinquencies.
- We pay the loan servicing industry about $5 billion per year to service our loans. We offer additional financial incentives for servicers to avoid foreclosure.
- Through the first nine months of 2010, nearly 211,000 delinquent borrowers with Freddie Mac loans avoided foreclosure. That's almost double the 114,000 foreclosures that took place.
- We expect servicers to treat borrowers fairly, with respect, and in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and Freddie Mac policies. We have taken action when servicers have not complied.
- Borrowers are not being rushed through the foreclosure process. It takes 449 days, on average, to complete a foreclosure on a Freddie Mac loan. In these foreclosures, borrowers had been behind on their payments for an average of more than a year.
- Lengthy foreclosure delays impose losses on Freddie Mac and taxpayers: $10,000-$15,000 per year for every defaulted loan.
- Freddie Mac gives servicers the authority to stop or suspend a foreclosure action whenever there is opportunity for an alternative, such as a loan workout, short sale, or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Our servicers have had this authority for more than 20 years – and they know we're committed to avoiding foreclosure.
To read more about Freddie Mac's role in the mortgage origination, securitization, and servicing processes, see the recent testimony by EVP Don Bisenius before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
* Anthony Renzi left his position at Freddie Mac in May 2012.

ProsGood looker ConsPrice
Drove It, Liked It, But Wouldn't Buy One — My mate had this car and lent it to me for 6 mths when he wnet to the States in 2003. What a dream that was! Not a bad car really but wouldn't buy one. Was a fun car to drive nevertheless. Have to say, his choice of burgundy was a bit suspect! |
2001 Jaguar XK-Series XK8 Convertible
Prosmost car for the money anywhere. Conselectrical gremlins once in a while
Terriffic — 1998-2005 xk series cars are the best bargain out there. Good looks, lots of power, loads of trunk space and beautiful interior. This is my second one after the first was totalled when a steel plate was popped into it from the car in front. Small number of electrical issues that are easily solved. Very easy to add aftermarket electrical mods like bluetooth, etc. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
2001 Jaguar XK-Series XK8 Coupe
ProsFast, Comfortable ncredibly beautiful ConsElectrical problems occasionally, not quite aggressive enough, nor comfortable enough to merit purchasing over a continental gt for example.
A Beautiful Machine, Capable Of 165 But With All The Grace And Comfort Of A Cruiser — I've always wanted this car, it's been in my top 5 cars forever, now i own one i'm slightly dispapointed that it's not quite fast enough and not quite comfortable enough, don't get me wrong, 0-62 in about 7.5, top speed of 150 plus, and it gets there quick, and the comfort is wonderful with leather intrioirs and all extras to cater for your journey, but i think i was expecting something more form a car that has a 4 litre V8, something biblical, it makes a satisfying purr but it's not that impressive, it leaves you feeling slightly disappointed with the ride. However in terms of looks there's few cars to rival, unlike it's sister aston martin it's lines are more rounded, smoother, more graceful, aston screams machismo, but the xk8 oozes class, even when i'm driving mine and see another on the road i can't take my eyes off them, they have like all jaguars aged incredibly well, infact become better looking as they've got older. |

ProsEverything you could want in a sports coupe ConsDont get to drive it enough
Look Up Car In A Dictionary And Read Xk8 — Follows in the spirit of the sixties E type .Look up car in a dictionary read XK8. This car is sensational and lives up to its looks. Great performance, and good economy for car of 4.0 litres and a nice throaty V8. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
