The problem is that Walker's simplistic childhood memories of Reagan don't come close to getting it right. Scott...
Blacks still seem to have Obama's back, but does he have theirs?
"The most important thing I can do for the African American community is the same thing I can do for the American community, period, and that is to get the economy going again and get people hiring again," he told the Detroit Free Press and USA Today in 2009. "It's a mistake to start thinking in terms of particular ethnic segments of the United States rather than to think that we are all in this together and we are all going to get out of this together."
Never mind that Obama dealt generously with some particular segments of the United States, bailing out the bankers and extending the Bush tax breaks to millionaires.
Given Obama's record, you might think that there might be more political space for blacks to criticize the President. Not so. Take it from me. If you dare to tell it like it is, you instantly and unsparingly get bashed and called a "hater."
I go on a lot of talk radio programs geared toward a black audience, and whenever I point out Obama's flaws, this is what I get:
"We ought not to air our dirty laundry in public."
"We need to show a united front."
"Obama can't do everything. He isn't Superman."
"Obama is cleaning up the mess Bush left."
"He got health care passed."
"The Republicans won't give him a break."
"The attack by the 'birthers' is an attack on black legitimacy, so we must defend him."
"He's not the president of black America; he's the President of the United States of America."
"His family sure looks good. He and Michelle are good role models for our kids."
"It's our fault the Obama Presidency hasn't kept its commitments. We need to 'make him do it.' "
"Shut up and sit down and support the President, or there will be nothing he can do anyway."
Morning syndicated radio show host Tom Joyner told his audience that blacks who criticize the President are "haters" and need to be quiet because Obama doesn't need the black vote to be split. Joyner asked, "What would it be like without a black man in office? . . . If you don't support him it will be much worse."
In the face of what can only be described as a depression in the black community, African Americans are still cutting Obama a lot of slack. As a satellite radio personality quipped to me: "There's a greater likelihood that Michelle would leave Barack before some of his supporters!"
The longer he is in office, the less he seems to care about the African American community. The day after losing control of the House last November, Obama wasted no time agreeing with the tea party's rallying cry that he had lost contact with the American people. And he bowed to the corporate power structure.
"I've got to take responsibility in terms of making sure that I make clear to the business community, as well as to the country, that the most important thing we can do is to boost and encourage our business sector," he said, as if the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program money he signed off on to the bankers wasn't enough.
Soon he struck a deal to extend the Bush tax cuts to the top 2 percent for two more years—directly breaking his campaign promise. And he submitted a budget containing $4 trillion in budget cuts over twelve years, with these cuts targeting "non-defense discretionary spending," including programs that help the working poor and the needy heat their homes, expand access to graduate-level education, put kids in Head Start, and provide summer jobs for youth, career development, after-school programs, child care, GED programs, affordable housing, homelessness prevention, housing court advocacy, food pantries, and community service block grants.
"Rebuilding our economy on the backs of the most vulnerable Americans is something that I simply cannot accept," said Representative Emanuel Cleaver, chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Obama's actions are not those of a man who wants to help out the black community. He can pretend that he does, as when he says, "I've proposed cuts to things I care deeply about, like community action programs." But if he really cared deeply about them, he would have expanded them, not cut them.
Things don't look so hopeful in black circles. And it's not so much Obama's fault. It could be the "schizophrenic" conflict of African American participation in U.S. politics.
The dilemma of black politics is whether it is about changing the system or running it. Is it about ending the empire and elitism or running the empire and somehow becoming part of the elite? And what will people sacrifice for the latter?

New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo recently vowed "to break" the "monopoly" of public education
By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.
Wendell Berry is a poet, farmer, and environmentalist in Kentucky. This poem, first published in 1973, is reprinted by permission of the author and appears in his "New Collected Poems" (Counterpoint).

On 5/18/2013, comedian and marijuana legalization activist N.a. Poe was targeted and brutalized by national park police for organizing a rally called Smoke Down Prohibition V where attendees come and listen to speakers and then at 4:20, light up joints in solidarity to end the failed drug war. We had 4 peaceful rallies prior to this with no police involvement. This one was different. There were 50+ police from different agencies including National Park Police, Philadelphia Police (uniformed and civil affairs) and Fish & Wildlife Service Police. Poe and Libertarian activist Adam Kokesh were intentionally targeted and detained by federal "officials" and are still being detained in Philadelphia's Federal Detention Center for "resisting arrest" and "assault" - Which neither man is guilty of.

Top 10 Factors Affecting Gold In 2015
February 23 2015
Topics [ gold bull market gold market gold bear market ]
US-based Gainesville Coins recently asked 15 nominated experts (including our own Bron Suchecki) which way they think the gold market is going.
As you might expect, the responses they received ranged from bearish to bullish - and everything in between!
Rather than attempting to draw any firm conclusions, Gainesville analysed their experts' viewpoints for the most frequently cited factors affecting the price of gold.
Presented as insights that "may help you formulate your own personal financial strategies", here are their top 10 factors affecting gold in 2015.
1. Real interest rates, specifically the Fed raising its key rate 2. Generally bearish on paper money and central banks 3. Inflationary (or deflationary) pressures 4. Geopolitical strife and global economic instability 5. Strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar 6. Growth in the developing world and emerging markets 7. Monetary easing (i.e. currency devaluation) in Europe and Japan 8. Strong demand from China and India 9. Performance of the equities market 10. A boost in mining output from falling energy costs
You can read the full responses from each of the 15 experts involved in Gainesville Coins' recent survey here.
Gold Demand Slides In 2014
Topics [ gold market ]
Despite a strong end to the year, which saw Q4 demand up 6% on the previous year, annual global gold demand slid backwards in 2014.
According to the World Gold Council's latest market report, demand was 4% lower at 3,923.7 tonnes, a four-year low.
Chinese consumption was noticeably down in 2014. Purchases of gold bars and coins for investment dropped by 50 per cent and jewellery buying retreated from a record, costing the country its place as the world's biggest buyer.

Comparison of neotropical migrant landbird populations wintering in tropical forest, isolated forest fragments, and agricultural habitats
- By:
- C.S. Robbins, B.A. Dowell, D.K. Dawson, J.A. Colon, R. Estrada, A. Sutton, R. Sutton, D. Weyer
- Edited by:
- John M. Hagan III, David W. Johnston
- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
Neotropical migrant bird populations were sampled at 76 sites in seven countries by using mist nets and point counts during a six-winter study. Populations in major agricultural habitats were compared with those in extensive forest and isolated forest fragments. Certain Neotropical migrants, such as the Northern Parula, American Redstart, and the Black-throated Blue, Magnolia, Black-and-white, and Hooded warblers, were present in arboreal agricultural habitats such as pine, cacao, citrus, and shade coffee plantations in relatively large numbers. Many north temperate zone shrub-nesting species, such as the Gray Catbird, White-eyed Vireo, Tennessee Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, and Indigo Bunting, also used agricultural habitats in winter, as did resident hummingbirds and migrant orioles. Ground-foraging migrants, such as thrushes and Kentucky Warblers, were rarely found in the agricultural habitats sampled. Although many Neotropical migrants use some croplands, this use might be severely limited by overgrazing by cattle, by intensive management (such as removal of ground cover in an orchard), or by heavy use of insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides.Additional Publication Details

The hotel is located at the far end of the hotel zone and is very quiet. The staff were very helpful and worked hard to exceed expectations. The hotel is dated but very clean. There is no hot water so be prepared for cold showers. I found out that for 7 dollars US you can get the all inclusive which could save you from a very long walk to the restaurants. All in all a decent one night stay. The beach is amazing and very clean as is the pool. If you are looking for an extended stay hotel maybe look for an all inclusive. But for a couple of days this is a great deal."
Very nice location away from the busy commercial area of the hotel zone. It was extremely easy to catch a bus to the more commercial area. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The bathroom was a bit worn but our room was nice and left spotless every day after they came through for cleaning. Would definitely recommend to others."
I had finished a business trip in La Playa and wanted to stay and extra day in Cancun. The Fiesta Americana was an amazing hotel. We were treated so well. Everything was over the top! Loved the whole experience and would come back."
Nice hotel. The airport transfer service arrived on time. The service in general was excellent, and I'd definitely stay in this hotel again"
It was a stop on our way to Cancun, since our international flight was to Mexico City. The hotel was a short walk through the airport, via a bridge that connects it to the airport. The staff was nice and answered all our questions, the room was clean and there was hot water. We ate at the airport and not in the hotel's restaurant. The only bad thing is that they wouldn't accept our dollars in cash, so we had to pay with the visa even though we already prepared the cash for the room."
Excellent hotel in an excellent location. Friendly staff, and excellent service. The courtyard and pool areas are fantastic!"
Beautiful Beach, friendly staff, Restaurants fair to good, but certainly adequate. Room air conditioners are not adjustable but work off a central system and the rooms were too cold."
They are remodeling this hotel and is looking beautiful, but most beautiful is the location. This is my favorite place for a vacation in Mexico!"
Very nice room, great location and view. Food disappointing, but you are close so many wonderful restaurants it wasn't a big deal."
Fabulous spot for a winter getaway! Great views and weather. Whales breaching a half mile off shore! Clean contemporary facilities, plenty of dining options and sufficient liquor to drown away memories of northern climates!"
Antonio and Oscar made our trip so fun as we spent most of it at the Bikini Swim up Bar. The staff is friendly and food so fresh and yummy. Hotel is excluded and gated which we loved and has a wonderful beach view. Cannot wait to return and visits our new fav spot."
Great food and service. Bring your own pescos and small bills because the hotel does not change any money."
A fall vacation in Mexico City explodes with patriotic fervor and traditional fiestas with September's...
A short getaway in Mexico City can be incredibly rewarding. Use this two-day itinerary as a guide when...
Crimson sunsets over ultramarine waters, resplendent golden beaches curtained by palms and long balmy...
Long spits of perfect beach dissolve into transparent warm waters at Mexico's exhilarating resort town...
Be enchanted with a Mexico City break that takes in vibrant street life, serene plazas and remnants...

#TellHisStory: A Love Letter for All the Second-Borns
I loved you instantly, of course. It was the second time in my life that a delivery-room nurse had placed a wrinkled newborn girl in my arms. When my lips brushed across your cheek, I knew it would be a cinch to love you as much as I loved your big sister. But I knew I'd […]

Here's your chance to support a great cause and maybe win a classic Corvette. This Sunday, a winner will be drawn in the 26th Annual Saint Bernard's Classic Corvette Giveaway with the grand prize being a Red 1957 fuel injected Corvette. But you can't win unless your name is on the ticket!
Corvettes For Sale
It's baaaaaack! In case you missed the opportunity to buy this Corvette when it was being offered at auction by Insurance Auto Auctions, as we reported on March 10, 2014, it's now back on the market.
Where do 1970s Corvettes go to die?
Apparently New London, Connecticut, if this Craigslist ad is any indication.
So you just watched the 24 Hours of Le Mans and now you want to go racing. Here's a great vintage Corvette racer for sale on Craigslist in the Florence (Eugene), OR area that's all set up and ready to go.
Some dealers are offering $2,000 discounts on non-Z51 Stingrays.
But we haven't heard of any discounts on Z51s – until now.
Of course, as usual, there is a catch.
Back in 2006 and 2007 ProTeam Corvette Sales purchased, restored, and sold the last 1967 Corvette produced. The Last Sting Ray fetched $660,000 at the 2007 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction and was the subject of a series on SPEED.
Proteam has an article on their website about the very first Corvette Sting Ray, a silver 1963 coupe built under a Shop Order in 1962. The has car spent its entire life in Europe and has been rarely seen. Its last 30 years have been spent in a private collection. Click past the jump to see how this piece of Corvette history came to be.
Here's your chance to buy a C2 Corvette with an unusual past and an unusual look.
The town of Colchester, Conn., says it is ready to get rid of its 1967 Corvette that was used for nearly 20 years as the police department's DARE vehicle.

Advocacy Update: What does Super Committee failure mean for health care?
On Nov. 21 the congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (a.k.a., the Super Committee) announced that they were unable to reach agreement on recommendation for how to cut the federal budget. Their failure to come up with a set of recommendations will trigger an across-the-board cut in government spending. Read what ACP's President had to say about the effect on patient access.

Great patch! 9/10 (Rolling Thunder should allow Volibear to ignore unit collision to compensate)
No Eve love?

hopefully next patch yorick will be looked into, my friend who joined the game 2 months ago has been beating all my friends in 1v1s, (me and my friends have around year 1/2 experience) its annoying and we all understand why, but yoricks sustain and 1 on 1 potential is pretty hard for anyone to counter or maybe its just us EDIT: Here comes the rage from yorick fans
Huzzah ! More Akali Nerfs ! And Lux Nerfs ! And Nautilus Buffs ! (Finally...)
Lux nerfed even tho she's already hurting, hec's nerfs tied in with the nerf of elder lizard not once but twice...voli slowed....thanks riot, i didn't like playing my favorite champs...
Kayle's spell ranges were so lolzy. Oh and Kha'zix does more damage lategame, because he totally needed that...
What is the reasoning behind the muramana change? it fit a specific role and kept damage mixed and now champions like talon/khaz will benefit from the physical damage due to the armor pen stacking. Was it a blow to ryze's damage?
God awful patch. It solves none of the non-viable champions problems and it removes certain champions from tournament viability. Akali, Kayle and Volibear won't be picked up again in LCS.

Thomas sits in a tree at sunset Katine 2009
Art Print | by Dan Chung | #426760
Thomas Ekeju, aged 12, sits in a tree at sunset. Samuk village, Katine sub county, 6 March 2009. Dan Chung's depiction of Thomas Ekeju surveying the landscape was taken shortly after the Guardian launched the Katine project. The appeal - in partnership with the African Medical and Research Foundation and Barclays - was part of a three-year project to improve the lives of Katine's 25,000 inhabitants.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

If 24 versions of its Pixi 3 lineup aren't enough, the company's throwing a 5.5-inch model into the mix.
Pricing not available
The sleek, compact SVS Prime Satellite 5.1 System sounds tremendous with movies, thanks in large part to its potent subwoofer, but lacks warmth with music.
XYZPrinting unveils its first high-end Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) 3D printer at CES 2015. It costs $1,499, significantly less than others using the same 3D printing technology.
This 23-inch all-in-one is built for entertainment, offering great speakers and a striking look. But the glossy, reflective display throws a wrench in the works.
Pricing not available
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
Affordable, reliable, and easy to use, the XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 AiO 3D Printer is great leap toward making 3D printing available to the masses.
Despite being accurate, having great battery life and a unique ability to wirelessly sync with some treadmills, the iFit Active is an expensive activity tracker that brings nothing new to the table.
For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.

The Fire Associates are volunteers who show up at major fire events and serve coffee, cookies, water etc. to the firefighters.

Good question -- the story has been edited and should be a little clearer now. The Fire Associates of Santa Clara Valley aren't directly affiliated with fire departments, but its volunteers provide support "canteen service" to firefighters. They don't do any firefighting themselves.

Dr Johnson and his colleagues believe that the association we have reported between sexual intercourse and preterm delivery reflects the declining frequency of intercourse with advancing pregnancy. Whether their explanation is more credible than ours cannot be settled at present. In our view, the frequency of intercourse in the women studied is rather high (almost 50%) and this argues in favour of our interpretation.

I know that most of us would like to impress our friends at dinner or special food events and show off our cooking skills that we learn how to cook from a professional chef.
Now, most of do not have the opportunity or time to learn these skills and really to learn from a chef you must study with an actual Chef.
Now you can get to the chase and find out how to get some free videos from Chef Mohr.
Take the FREE online cooking class and discover The #1 Cooking Technique for easy everyday home cooking
However, I would like you to think about how these video's can benefit you. If you don't have the time for online cooking lessons and you just want to improve your cooking and maybe you want to easily create restaurant recipes and you need living budget recipes this video can help you.
You will have an expert not only on cooking but you need a good teacher that will maintain your interest. I have been around some really good chef's and I have to tell you that they must know some kind of magic. I watch them, I acknowledge that I have also done this type of cooking, but they are so quick and subtle that I miss the little things and their food is just beyond belief. Learn how to cook from a professional chef. Discover the #1 Chef Secret for Creating Amazing Meals at Home!
One of the fun ideas is recipes exchanges, it is a social way to talk to people about regional food that either they are familiar with or they want to share with you a new way of cooking. You can take these video's, and learn from them, and make your own video's, up load them on you tube paste them on your site (if you don't know how to do this I will show you, go to my contact me page here.
It is so fun to share recipes, I remember visiting my Grandmother in southern oregon and just was absorbed by her many cookbooks. She would never, ever cook from one, but she constantly read many, and at her breakfast table, she would discuss recipe's with her neighbors. I guess I was naive and thought she talked about cooking, she was really talking about the spice of life.
At an age of 4, I really digged this way of learning. But, you must know that I am not a great cook. It is okay to listen to a practitioner about how they do something, but if they don't actually show you how it is difficult to follow. Anyway, it was always a treat to eat the outcome of her recipes.
The Golden Roast.
Now I am not really sure why the roasting of anything is that difficult. However, I have been on the receiving end of some pretty bad roasts, in fact I am sure I was the cook on them.
Wouldn't be nice to drop in a dvd of an expert and just kind of guide you along on how to make a golden roast and if you failed the first time you would capture the little things that a chef does that will create magic in your kitchen. So, I think that you can see the benefit of a professional chef to teach you how to learn to cook with the skills of how to cook with a video that will maximize your dishes, ingredients and create foods that are mistaken from your guests as coming from a first class restaurant.
Also, you may be wondering on what is the best tools to use and by the way how do you really sharpen knives? Here is a link to see that video, it still really takes practice and one thing that I have learned is not to make the knife to sharp. For some reason a semi blunt/sharp knife releases more flavors. Anyway, here is a page to help you with that on how to sharpen a knife.
So, if you want to know the secrets of olive oil, enhancing your recipe box, want to know the best cooking techniques then this cooking video series may be for you. The best thing about buying or just trying anything on my site, you have a 60 day guarantee that is refundable on your purchase or trial.
This is supposed to be fun and you will gain somehting on these how-to videos is fun stuff that you may have never thought of. For example what the heck do you do with a garlic pan? Or how 'bout a sugar brush? Or better yet how to make a great dish with balsamic strawberries.
One of the things I like about this Chef is that when you sign up for the class video's he is just an email to ask any question that you may have.
So, I cannot recommend enough this cooking gourmet video course.
Testimonial Video.
By the way here are a couple of video's. One is a testimonial and the other is from the Chef.
Know let me introduce Chef Mohr and his fun gourmet cooking videos for everyone!

Sounds good. Gonna try this tomorrow. Do you guys calculate the rice husks when figuring the total lbs of grains for the water needed or do you just consider it 11 lbs?
i rinsed the hulls in hot water before i added them to the mash so they wouldn't asbsorb that much wort i didn't include them in the total grain calc.
So I brewed this today and it seemed to go well other then me missing my mash temps. Just to clarify...Original Gravity: 1.052 means a 1.052 gravity reading post boil?
Awesome! Please let us know how this turns out as it's on my list for sure. Before this is Edwort's House Pale ale. Super excited about both recipes! Keep us updated on your brew! Jeff
I just bottled this one last night and it came out awesome judging from the hydrometer sample. Nice balance between cloves and bananas and not too strong flavors from either. I tweaked the recipe just a hair buy subbing Munich in for 8oz. of the Pilsner malt just to add a little bit of malt character. I ended up being more efficient than normal which was great process wise but my OG is a little out of style at 1.056. I made a 1L starter on my stirplate with the WLP300 and had a nice clean fermentation held at 64* the entire time. Final gravity was 1.010. Carbed to style on this one using 5.5 oz. corn sugar for the 5g batch. Can't wait to taste the final results!
Been sitting at about 68-70 now since Sat. I also used a american wheat and not a german one since my local store didn't have it. Guy there said it wouldn't make a huge difference but who knows.

For Most, New York City Property Taxes Due January 2
NORCROSS, Ga., Dec. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Official Payments, a leading provider of electronic payment solutions, wants those who own property in New York City to know that Wednesday, January 2 , 2013, is the next due date for property tax payment. While the technical due date is set at January 1 of each year, the actual due date for 2013 is pushed back a day because of the holiday observance on Tuesday.
"However, this year, more than 3,000 homeowners who suffered severe storm damage caused by Hurricane Sandy will receive a special extension," said Alex P. Hart, President and CEO of Official Payments. "Those affected property owners can delay payment three months, until April 1, without penalty."
Properties eligible for an extension were given a red tag by the Department of Buildings after they determined the property was either uninhabitable or totally demolished as a result of the storm.
All taxpayers can begin their payment process by logging onto www.OfficialPayments.com and selecting the "Local Payments" button. Official Payments accepts debit and credit cards for New York City taxes.

Small electric cars are indeed a perfect solution for congested cities. They're small, quiet, non-polluting, and quite fast enough for normal city driving. And some have sufficient range as well. Moreover, few are as expensive as the GM Volt - which may die on the vine.
China has several companies producing EVs that are very attractive and will fit the bill perfectly. Shanghai is now in the process of building 25,000 charging stations, and other large cities will follow. This is absolutely the way of the future.
For those who deride these cars because "Americans" won't buy them, my response would be "and who cares?". Build what you want and sell them in your oountry, and be happy. It's worth nothing that in no country in the world can you buy an American car outside of North America, with the odd exception of Buicks in China. And the reason is that nobody else in the world has ever wanted them because they are junk.
In the meantime, other countries are designing and producing many electric cars that will be on sale all over the world. China will be not only offering incentives for the purchase of these autos, but will be mandating that the gasoline engine is quickly phased out. And I have no doubt other countries will follow because this is the only sensible alternative for our planet.
No, it's not a solution to congested cities, but if you truly think people are going to abandon their fossil fuel powered vehicles and begin riding non existent public transport or cycling the ridiculous distances suburbia has created for them then I suggest a reality check. This car is a step in the right direction, reducing automobile dependance is crucial, and will eventually come about, but the major changes to infrastructure that are needed will require some decades in implementation.
The price and range could work for many urban drivers, but not the top speed. At 70Kph (~44Mph) this "car" is dead on arrival to the American market. You cant even drive on most service roads that slow, much less highways.
Can I put a big key on the back so I can wind it up?
China's BYD already selling all-electric sedans at less than US$20k a couple years ago.
You don't need a car for shot urban distances. This is not a solution to congested cities, nor to pollution. Bicycles and public transport are the intelligent solution for urban transportation.
Interesting article… From technological point of view it is important to notice that electric propulsion gives huge efficiency advantages in a small electric city car if compared to small internal combustion car. However, as you have pointed out it is questionable how competitive those vehicles will be. Not for all customers, but still for all of those who drive less then let's say approx. 100 miles per day. Why? Because electric car is so easy to recharge, no need to go to gasoline station…
However, in order to really design a competitive electric car, all the possibilities allowed by the transition to the electric propulsion have to be exploited. One of the possibilities are also in-wheel motors, where electric motors are placed inside wheels and they are the only moving part of the propulsion system. With such system, efficiency is greatly increased and a lot of space is saved inside the car. We have to be aware that the energy density of fossil fuels is approx. 100 times the energy density of advanced batteries… This is an interesting solution for a South Korean city electric car.
There are four major impediments to adoption of a "pure" EV in many US areas, aside from the lack of speed/range needed for any occasional freeway driving.
1. Speed Costs. A car that won't hit 45 mph is a complete non-starter for the typical urban/suburban American. You'd need a top end of at least 100 kph (60 mph) to allow for emergency acceleration.
2. Range between charges. 100 km (60 miles) is really too short. Given the needs of a typical household, having to charge the battery every single time the car is used in normal daily driving is too burdensome a requirement for practical use...that's equivalent to having to fill a three gallon gas tank on a sub-compact gasoline powered auto every single day.
3. Comfort level demanded by contemporary drivers. Adding the requisite power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning you've already imposed range decreasing loads on the vehicle.
4. How about the range at night or during inclement weather? Running lights, heater/demister, and windshield wipers alos takes electricity, thus draining the battery quicker.
Here is a link to a photo of a gorgeous little electric city car by Peugeot: http://www.bearcanada.com/graphics/science/vehicles/ccar001.jpg
And more photos of other concept electric cars can be found here:
Why do we need a car that makes 150mph in America when the speed limits on motorways there are far,far less than that?
why do we need 200hp for moving around?,wouldn't something smaller and cheaper to run fit the bill?
are cars vanity toys?
How long does it take to fully charge? That would be a huge impediment to popular adoption. If it takes longer than eight hours to charge, it would be tough for workers / housewives / the elderly / whomever to use it on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, the first sentence in the article is erroneous.
"AMID the hype about electric cars, one problem remains: their price. General Motors' Volt, for instance, will cost $41,000, even after generous subsidies."
$41,000 is the suggested retail price. There are $7500 of rebates to be awarded bringing the price down to $33,500.
People keep referring to the American market with regards to this class of car - Why?
It was developed in Korea. Maybe it would fit specific niches (family car for urban environments in developing countries), or hit it off in big places like China, which I believe is the fastest growing car market now.
I personnally don't find this car impressive, but maybe it is a start for markets we have not thought about.
It seems to me that we should look at this car (and variants) as a glass being half-full of water than half-empty. So these cars will not solve all transportation problems in all areas of the US.
In most suburbs the default surface road speed limit is 25 mpg. So for those people who will 90% of the time be running errands on surface streets with one way distances of less than say 1/4 the 'range' of these vehicles they should be acceptable - that assumes 2 errands per day -- as always your mileage may vary.
There is no mention of real-world mileage - with AC, lights, wipers etc - not being able to run errands in inclement weather (rain and/or snow) is not really acceptable for a local vehicle.
Obviously as you add 'requirements' you shrink the potential market for such cars. Long distance driving will of course need a different vehicle - rented or owned.
It will work well as a toy car. But for a real thing, it is better to think something like the Nissan leaf or BYD e6. Recently BYD shows that its car can even operate as long ranging taxis
BYD, a private, Hong-Kong listed automaker based in Shenzhen, announced May 17 that it had put 40 all-electric taxis into service in the city of Shenzhen.
The taxi is BYD's E6 model, a cross-over vehicle with a lithium-ion battery that, according to BYD, will travel up to 300 kilometers (186 miles) on a single charge. By comparison, Nissan's Leaf all-electric vehicle is expected to travel about 100 miles on a single charge. This is also the model with which BYD plans to make its entrance into the North American market later this year.
BYD expects to have as many as 100 E6 taxis plying the streets of Shenzhen by the end of June.
When are they going to make cars that fly!!!!!!!!!!! Then all my Star Wars dreams can come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's a niche market for a car like this but it won't soothe the range anxiety most Americans feel when they ponder electric car ownership. My next car will probably be a hybrid. The kayaks and camping gear have to go somewhere, too.
Major automobile manufacturers could sell a conventional car along with an electric car in tandem. Two for the price of one and let the owner himself decide what to do with the little mouse.
There was a 2500 euro sales bonus handed out by the German government for shredding a car older than 9 years and buying a new one. The scheme was successful. So if a manufacturer could manage to throw in a small electric vehicle ( like the TWIKE which currently costs 26000 euros) for around 2500 euros, it could prove to be a gimmick that works. Good for the manufacturer, good for the customer, good for the environment.
heres the link to Twike
I forgot to mention , the "twike" is made in Basel Switzerland. It really consists of two electric bicycles joined together side by side with a roof, windshield with wiper and a radio. Heating is provided by pedal power. It's a proposition no able bodied man or woman would turn down easily.
The cheapest electric bicycle in Germany is about 700 Euros

Although not an environmental book per se, "Eternal Harvest: The Legacy of American Bombs in Laos" is a great piece of journalism that environmental writers can use to rethink issues such as land use, chemical contamination and public safety.
Journalists hurrying to get up to speed on environmental or energy issues can get objective background from reports by the Congressional Research Service (an arm of the Library of Congress), which does not release them to the taxpaying public that funded them. We thank the Federation of American Scientists' Government Secrecy Project for publishing them.

Is there a good way to see what exactly takes so long to load. I am on a shared environment, and there are no debugging tools available such as xdebug and pear libraries.

Research indicates that around half of those sleeping rough don't seek help before they end up on the streets, and many are simply unaware of the help that is available to them. This is not surprisingly really. Nobody plans to end up in that situation, and it often happens suddenly, the result of circumstances outside their control.
Life has no meaning besides the one you create for yourself. It is only up to you to decide what meaning to fulfill your life with.
This year, on the Kindness UK website, I have pledged one of the kind acts that I will do for Kindness Day. I'm going to visit a nursing home armed with goodies to give to the residents and I will spend time chatting to them.
family and friends but also to unite strangers through a value that can be included in every aspect of life. Kind acts do not have to be newsworthy to involve a positive chain and this effect is often present in everyday kindness we see and do like helping a stranger carry their luggage upstairs.
It was the worst natural disaster there in two decades. That, in a country where natural and human disasters seem the norm, is saying something - yet in a way that's part of the problem: so accustomed are we today to the view of Afghans as victims, it's becoming difficult to hear stories like that of Aab Barik and still be moved.
The public do not care about your petty triumphs and little successes, they only become interested in your dull little life if something graphically horrible happens in it, preferably with pictures. That is what we are lead to believe by those that are dishing this stuff up.
Inspiring people come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. The people you choose as friends often inspire you. They lift you up instead of drag you down. Share your daily achievements with others and let them share theirs with you, and you never know who you might inspire next or who might tell you something that changes your life.
In my work as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist I see so many people in states of acute anxiety, depression and stress. One of the things that really makes a difference (and research widely supports this) is getting the unconscious mind to focus on the positives around us.
Over the years we have seen a lot of good, bad and ugly promises, campaigns and programmes. Some, such as increasing child vaccinations, have been very successful. But in the run up to the finish line for the Millennium Development Goals in 2015, we see that we are still way off key targets for women and children.
It may be a nice way to draw some attention to the scientists' hard work, but mixing up data & marketing is confusing to the general public - and risks to undermine our sense of environmental urgency.
