New voter registration cards are being sent out
Keep an eye on your mailbox.
Local election officials are mailing out new voter registration certificates this week to registered voters in Tarrant County.
The new orange and white cards, which will replace the current yellow and white cards, will be good through Dec. 31, 2015.
"Just destroy the old card and use the new one," Tarrant County Elections Administrator Steve Raborn said.
The cards tell voters the districts where they vote.
When they arrive, voters should carefully check the cards to make sure the information is accurate. If any information is believed to be incorrect, officials say, voters should call the elections office at 817-831-8683.
And if the cards themselves don't arrive by Jan. 7, voters should call the elections office as well.
"We usually ask people to give it about a week for the mail to run," Raborn said.
But now that the state's voter ID law has taken effect, requiring voters to show a photo identification card to cast a ballot, it's not as crucial for voters to take their voter registration certificates with them to the polls.
"They aren't required to have it," Raborn said. "But it's helpful for the voting official.
"State law still requires us to mail them every other year."
To register to vote in Texas, a voter must be a U.S. citizen at least 17 years and 10 months old (and 18 by Election Day).
Local voters may check their voter registration status online at any time. People who have moved or changed their name after they are registered should give election officials their new information.
Voter registration applications are available at subcourthouses, city halls, libraries and post offices — and online through Tarrant County and the Texas secretary of state. They must be postmarked or dropped off in person to: Voter Registration, Tarrant County Elections, 2700 Premier St., Fort Worth, TX 76111-3011
Early voting in the March 4 primary runs Feb. 18-28.
Feb. 3 is the last day to register to vote in the March 4 election.

Sharapova doesn't drop a set on the way to Aussie Open title
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Maria Sharapova's acceptance speech was as polished as her game at the Australian Open.
A year after being on the wrong end of one of the most-lopsided losses in a Grand Slam final, Sharapova wrapped up her third major title with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over fourth-seeded Ana Ivanovic on Saturday.
The 20-year-old Russian didn't drop a set in seven matches at Melbourne Park, including wins over three of the top four ranked players, erasing 12 months worth of painful memories in the wake of her 6-1, 6-2 loss to Serena Williams last year.
After Ivanovic sprayed a forehand wide on match point, Sharapova dropped to her knees and appeared to be fighting back tears as she waved and blew kisses to the crowd.
Then she dropped her racket in her chair before heading to shake hands and exchange high-fives with her father and supporters.
She clasped her hands and swayed as she stood, waiting to receive the Daphne Akhurst Trophy, then told the Rod Laver Arena crowd that she'd received a text message from tennis great Billie Jean King telling her "Champions take chances and pressure is a privilege."
"I took mine," Sharapova said.
Sharapova wished her mother, Yelena, a happy birthday and told her how she planned to spend some of her $1,207,790 prize money.
"With this big fat check, I'm going to send you a bunch of roses," she said. "Last year I lost on her birthday and this year I said I'm going to make it up to her, and I did."
Sharapova said she "wasn't even close to winning last year."
"It's incredible. If somebody would've told me during the middle of last year I'd be here I'd have said, 'Forget it."'
Sharapova, seeded fifth, struggled with a shoulder injury last year and slipped from No. 1 to outside the top 5. She rallied to make the final of the season-ending championship, losing in three long sets to top-ranked Justine Henin.
Sharapova said when her coach and hitting partner Michael Joyce's mother died, it helped her cope with the hard times.
Every time she went out to play or practice "Jane was the name we were thinking about," Sharapova said. "I want to dedicate this win to her because after the loss [(Joyce] suffered, I got a whole lot of perspective with my injuries and setbacks.
"It helped me prioritize so many things that were outside of tennis."
Ivanovic is projected to rise to No. 2 in the rankings despite the loss. Sharapova will remain at No. 5 when the new list is released next week.
Sharapova leads their head-to-heads 3-2, avenging a straight-sets loss to the Serbian player in the French Open semifinals last year.
Ivanovic, also 20, is 0-2 in Grand Slam finals after losing the French Open championship match to Henin.
"I'm very emotional and you guys made it a very special experience for me," she told the crowd as tears welled in her eyes.
Sharapova was aggressive from the start and, apart from one bad service game in the first set that allowed Ivanovic back to 4-4, controlled the important points against a Serbian player for the second consecutive match.
She beat No. 3 Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals after ending top-ranked Justine Henin's 32-match winning streak in the quarterfinals.
Sharapova set up triple match point and waited patiently as Ivanovic saved two before the Russian could add to her titles at Wimbledon in 2004 and the 2006 U.S. Open.
On a hot, sunny day with temperatures touching 93 degrees, people in the crowd were fanning themselves, and Sharapova retreated to the shade behind the baselines to gather herself between points.
It was Australia Day, so organizers put small national flags at each seat. But there were plenty of Serbian and Russian flags, too.
Most of the signs scattered around a packed arena were pretty clear, including one that said "Quiet please Maria," referring to Sharapova's high-pitched grunts that get louder and louder as pressure rises.
Both players showed some nerves in the first set, with Ivanovic particularly shaky, committing 19 unforced errors to just six winners.
Serving at 2-2, Ivanovic set up double break point with a double fault, then sent a forehand long.
After holding serve the first three times at love, Sharapova returned the favor, committing three double faults while serving at 4-3, the last two at deuce to hand the game to Ivanovic.
But she shrugged off the setback, running off the last three games, breaking to go ahead 6-5, then pumping her fist and shouting "Go Maria! Come on!" Taking every second possible between points, Sharapova then held at love.
From 3-3 in the second set, Sharapova ran off the last three games again, breaking Ivanovic twice.
The advice from King, who won 12 Grand Slam singles titles, was a great help, Sharapova said.
"When I was playing junior tennis she'd turn up and talk to my parents and give them advice and talk to me," Sharapova said. Now she's always someone to give me advice
"I woke up this morning to her text ... I had those great words in my mind during the match."

"I used this product to personalize my law school graduation invitations. I chose not to include a personalized picture, I substituted "class of" for my degree, and I changed the color of my name and degree to make them stand out. The end result was beautiful! The quality of the paper was great as it was a thick stock of paper and the pearl shimmer is noticeable. My family and friends loved the invitations."
"This announcement turned out as planned the color combo made it clear to read the personal text. I would definately recommend this style."
"This graduation announcement is simple elegance. The final product was very pretty. I am very happy. I would recommend the shiny finish over the matte. I ordered the matte on a previous product and the shiny finish is much more appealing."
"This product was perfect! Everyone has loved the design, color, and layout. It was so creative and different from all of the other graduation announcements I have seen so far this year. I have already told numerous people about the site for those who still have not ordered them because they can get them quickly with quality."
"Announcement was perfect. I altered each section to be worded the way I needed- adding words and actually changing what some sections said and covered. I fit everything I needed and wanted on the announcement. Pictures on back were an extra treat , good quality and free! Customer service is great, plenty of communication emails and very fast delivery."

So after several calls to kilt stores all over Aberdeen we finally found one who had "morning suits" aka tuxedos available to rent and would take measurements over the phone. Which was wonderful because we didn't have to try to buy a suit somewhere on our trip and carry it with us, but it also meant we had to get his measurements taken in some country along the way. That ended ...

Apple Says "No" To Releasing New Dock Connector Specs 393
from the mine-all-mine dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
It may be that they are walking straight into EU regulations with that kind of policy. Vertical monopolies in the supply chain is one of those few things the EU gets extremely aggro about, to the benefit of the market and consumers.
Innovative and good technology company
A. Innovative company might not have good technology
B. Companies that have good technology might no longer be innovative
Apple, Inc. used to be in "Category A" when Mr. Jobs were alive
Now, it's in "Category B" and soon, it might end up be neither
It may be that they are walking straight into EU regulations with that kind of policy..
Not may. Will. Germany in particular (where most patent litigation is taken in the EU) has a long history of allowing cheap clones of periphericals and consumables. Be it nails, screws, coffee recharges, cables, or otherwise. Ianal, but I'd wager Apple doesn't stand a chance in court if they seek to sue cloned cables out of the market -- especially at that price point.
The most surprising part to me, though, is (assuming the rumors are valid on the new port) that they didn't go for a micro-USB port. The EU directive aimed at getting rid of electronic waste due to redundant and incompatible chargers will shortly make (already makes?) it or an adapter mandatory, so why bother coming up with yet another type of dock connector?
Even though Apple hasn't released shit about unreleased products to the mass market except in rare exceptions for over a decade, everyone still thinks that it's news that Apple doesn't just up and scream aloud about features of unreleased products.
Guess what? When they released the 2nd gen iPod that has the dock connector we've been using for 8 years now, they didn't pre-release specs for that either. Yet I'm sure we had the same cynical speculation of "OMG it's not bone-stock FireWire! They're going to squeeze everyone out with proprietary bullshit and sue everyone that tries to use it!"
Never mind that today's dock connector only carries a few of the signals present in the original - gone is the FireWire and the 12v power, long replaced with USB2 and it's 5V DC. HDMI video has been added. Etc.
This is likely Apple deciding that it's time to have a change in the connector that coincides with a change of signal, rather than leaving the connector alone for so long to keep compatibility with 3rd party accessories at the cost of engineering simplicity, and reduction of product size.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.

After a week in Norway going through the fjords by car ( much more scenic than by boat and not as cold ! ) we experienced three " historic hotels " the Ullensvang, the Kviknes and the Union. Of the three , the Union is the only one which is a real historic hotel. The Ullensvang is very good , has existed for years but is a brand new building. The Kviknes must have been nice 100 years ago but they have ruined it ! The Union is true, late 19th century, full of charm, small enough not to attract l - Anonymous
Staff friendly. Single room contemporary, very comfortable, felt like a small flat with its own front door rather than hotel room. Single bed extremely cosy with luxurious mattress topper for added comfort. Staff lovely, I didn't pay my bill initially and had to return to hotel to do so. The staff very understanding and were concerned that I made my flight in time. Would certainly stay again. - Anonymous
Extremely friendly and accommodating staff.

WE loved the reception we received from Thomas - he was sincerely helpful, cheerful and friendly. We asked for an extra heater and he brought it over almost immediately. He offered information and helpful suggestions eg when we asked about fishing and was available at all times. We also loved the view from the cabin - fabulous! - Anonymous
I would describe the furniture in the room as functional, it is certainly better than basic it is very clean with a small balcony overlooking the chalets and camper vans below and more importantly a wonderful view of the fjord. Free wifi, code from reception. Did consider going into Geiranger for dinner but so glad we had a look at the 275 nok per person buffet on offer in the 6th floor restaurant with panoramic view. Food was 1st class and you could eat as much as you wanted. Breakfast was als - Anonymous

Excellent location.
Good value for money - price included buffet evening meal as well as buffet breakfast.
Tasty food.
You could make your own waffle from 15.00.

I love this cream. I have excessively dry skin this cream makes my face feel heavenly and it's not greasy at all. This cream smoothed my skin beyond belief. I will continue use this cream. great product !!!!!!
I love this Balm Barr cocoa butter cream. This product with rich moisture and natural ingredients. This cream helps with dry skin in my dry climate. Great smell with a delicious fruitiness. It does leave some white on my skin, but it absorbs quickly enough. It's very moisturizing and effect on skin deeply, so the ingredients are pretty good. Great stuff.....
The best Lotion, My family loves to use it everyday. Keeps skin nice and flake and itch free. Doesn't leave a sticky film on skin either. Smell okay too.

This is the most amazing hand lotion. We live in the northeast and my husband has suffered with cracked fingers every winter. He used this lotion 2 times daily and NO SPLITS OCCURRED that winter. The trick is the SPF 15 in the lotion. love it!!

It is an excellent product it does exactly what it says it does. Thanks balm barr been using it since 1975 again thanks and my skin does too.

The Author, his publishers, agents, resellers or distributors assume no liability or responsibility to any person or entity with respect to any loss or damage or alleged to be caused directly or indirectly by the use of and the advice given in this publication. It is recommended that the users of this publication seek legal, accounting and other independent professional business advice before starting a business or acting upon any advice given. This book is not intended for use as a source of legal, business, accounting or financial advice, but is distribute for information purposes only. Mail Order Bookkeeping Basics INTRODUCTION This information is provided for individuals who are starting a mail order business and require a basic bookkeeping system. It has been written for someone who has little or no bookkeeping background. No income tax or professional advice is rendered. Such advice should be obtained from a CPA or an Attorney. The operation for any business requires a basic system to keep track of income expenses. There are two good reasons to keep good records. 1. It is the law. The IRS, State Income Tax Division and State Sales Tax Division (where applicable) requires you to keep complete and accurate records. 2. Keeping good records is good business. It helps you to understand your business better. It will let you know at all times how your business is doing -- how much money you are making or losing. In addition it enables you to analyze expenses and revenues. You can see how seasonal and other trends develop. All of this will he;p you to make sound business decisions. BUSINESS CHECKING ACCOUNT It is best to set-up a separate business checking account with your bank for your business. This account should be used only for deposit of business related income and payment of business expenses. In this way you a maintain a distinction between business and personal expenses. STATE SALES TAX You are required by law in most states to collect the appropriate State Sales Tax. This only applies for sales within your state. Out of state purchasers are not charged a sales tax. Only the end-user pays sales tax. If you should be selling to a dealer he can provide you with a sales tax exemption certificate.. In this case he is not required to pay the sales tax to you since he will be collecting if from his customers. STATE USE TAX THe Use tax generally applies when a company buys supplies or equipment for its own use from an out of state business. It does not apply when material or merchandise are bought from an out of state company which will be re-sold. The use tax rate is the same as the sales tax rate. For specific information on regulations in your state call the nearest State Sales Tax Division in your area. ACQUISITION OF EQUIPMENT When acquiring office machines, such as typewriters, computers, copiers, furniture, etc. such expenditures are generally depreciated on your tax return over a period of time.. For specific information check with a qualified tax advisor. EXPENSES RELATED TO A HOME OPERATED BUSINESS If a business is operated from home in many instances a portion of rental, mortgage or other expense may be deductible when filing your income tax.. The same may apply to utility expenses. There are specific laws pertaining to this, and again you should get professional advice. EXPLANATION OF FORMS We have provided you with several forms. You can use them as they are or change them to fit your particular needs. 1. DETAIL OF MONTHLY EXPENDITURE FORM In the left hand column you keep track of expenditures for merchandise and products that you resell to your customers. The accounting term is generally cost of goods or product, or cost of sales.. If you sell books by mail you would record your purchases for these goods (including drop shipments) in this column. The right hand column should be used to record all other expenditures. You obtain this information from your business checking account. If you pay for business expenses by cash keep track of theses expenditures separately and enter into this column also.. If you also use one or more credit cards to pay for business expenses list these expenses here too.. It is best to designate a specific credit card to be used for business expenses only.. Do not intermingle personal charges. In this case you may be able to deduct the interest on your taxes. 2. INCOME AND EXPENDITURE FORM Record your daily income in the left hand column. Since you may not have income on a daily basis in the beginning stages of your business you can record income less frequently, such as weekly or even monthly. You may wish to keep a separate income journal. The purpose of such a journal would be to give you a more detailed breakdown of your revenue. Set it up in any way you feel it will best suit your needs. For example you may want to record new business separately from repeat business. If you sell dealerships and books, for example, you may want to record the revenue from dealerships separately from the revenue for books, etc. In fact the right column of this form you can keep track of your expenditures by category. Again you can change the categories to suit your particular needs. When you deduct your expenses from your receipts at the end of the month you will have an income or loss figure for your business PROFIT & LOSS STATEMENT FORM Here you show you monthly revenue, expenses and profit loss. There are no requirements for you to do this on a monthly basis.. Especially in the beginning stages of your new business, you may want to generate a Profit & Loss Statement on a quarterly basis, semi-annual or even annual basis. SUMMARY The above information and forms will give you a basic system. Tailor it to fit your own situation. You may want something more elaborate or less detailed. Or you may not even put all your business accounting on your P.C.. If you are considering to acquire a software program to help you with your accounting I would strongly suggest you wait until you understand your business well. Also accounting software can be difficult to use for an individual without accounting background. A personal money management software system will generally be quite adequate for most small businesses. Don't get overwhelmed by record keeping for you new business especially if this is something new for you. Governmental agencies do not require you to keep your books in a particular way but do require you keep good records. This also means that records must be substantial. Again your accountant can give you detailed information on existing requirements. While the big task of any new business is developing sales and acquiring customers, good record keeping is generally found in successful business operations. Your records provide you with accurate present and past information that you as the owner and president of your company must use constantly analyze your business so you will maximize profits.

Again, another objective proof of the actual condition of the Argentine economy.
Why they don't stop printing Money?
Because it's the only way to finance Public Deficit, amounting 7% of the GDP. Being in default, and segregated of international financial markets have a deep cost for this government.
What was a crucial event in promoting UK as a global trader and manufacturer in the XVIIIth Century? The creation of the Bank of England and the development of a transparent capital market respectful of property rights.
The BofE not only governed government debt and money policy, but also helped the private sector to obtain financing.
Having an independent Central Bank is key to any economy. In Argentina the CB Charter was reformed to avoid its independence and to be dependent on the Executive Power, i.e. the President.
Another self fulfilled prophecy...
Dear Alex-Arg,
You seem to be a smart fellow. But your comments are of dubious objectivity.
Either you are working for the PRO or your are just too into your text book from your last MBA abroad.
Don't you realize that this is the third negative article about Argentina that TE published in less than a week?
Do you really think that there is an authentic intention of informing the public about our country?
Do you honestly believe that three articles in a row is a coincidence?
Please don't by this BS.
I agree we are undergoing through difficult times, but is not as bad as these mothers want us to believe.
There is always a hidden intention in every TE article.
You got me!!!
I work for Rockfeller and the trilateral COMISSION.
What you should ask to yourself is the validity of what I've posted:
Fiscal Deficit: 7 % (Yes or No?)
Amendment of the BCRA Charter in 2012 (Yes or No?)
Price increase of the Dollar since the clamp in 2011 over 100% (Yes or No?)
Inflation: over 30% (Yes or No?)
People under Poverty line: 11 Million - 25% (Yes or No?)
People with Social Plans: 7 Million (Yes or No?)
An Indicted Vice President (Boudou) by a Federal Court: (Yes or No?)
Money Expansion Rate: Average last year over 40% (Yes or No?)
Once you have answered to yourself this short list of questions, you can figure out whether I'm working for the IMF, the Trilateral Commission or HEY, the CIA...
Or perhaps the FREE Masons....who knows (???)

Two days later...
Location: Boulder, Colorado - Home Residence of Warrick Farrior
Stardate: 91354.1
(It is a nippy, early Tuesday morning. The sun rising behind the mountainous peaks. The multi-colored fall leaves scattered about on the ground. The soft rush sound of the cold creek covered within the mist. A couple of elk nearby feeding on grass and bark - - only to be startled by the nearby presence of a wolf. They scurry off into the forest with the wolf not far behind.
Farrior and Hopkins, both in civilian attire. Farrior sporting a black riding duster while Hopkins is wearing a short navy duffle ride along side each other on chestnut colored Clydesdales with white markings on their face, legs and underside of their bellies. They ride up further along the range for a short time more. They come to a stop to enjoy the view.)
Hopkins: -while her horse snorts and rustles her long mane- "Easy girl, easy. (pauses and turns to Farrior) Now, I see why you've grown attached here over the long years. Going from city boy to life near the mountains. Can't believe you have this much land to roam about."
Farrior: Well, its still less than a couple of miles from the city. Of course I'm not the only resident in these parts. We're well spread out and enjoy our quiet with visits here and there. (inhales the air) This is what I've missed most.
Hopkins: -looking outward at the mountain slopes in the distance- "That out there is no doubt a pretty sight."
Farrior: "You're looking at The Flatirons, Pam. We're on the side of the Green Mountains. But you haven't really seen its beauty unless you look at it during winter."
Hopkins: "I'm sure that it is Warrick.... I'm sure that it is. Must be a good thing to have your mother, cousin and a couple of hired hands to take care of things while you're away."
Farrior: -turns to Hopkins and smiles- "So have you thought about my offer?"
Hopkins: "We've been friends for long time and served together once before. You know I can't say no to you. (pauses for second) Provided if I'm your chief of security."
Farrior: -smirks- "You sure drive a hard bargain, Pam. Of course you got the job. Come on, lets have some breakfast. We have a command crew to assemble."
(Both Farrior and Hopkins pull the reigns of their horses and begin the ride back home)
Hopkins: "You have yet to tell me how Fleet Admiral Kim took your request for demotion to get your hands on the Excalibur."
Farrior: "Always appeal to the soft side of your mentor."
-To be continued-
Admiral Warrick Farrior

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.3
Although they share a common name and mechanical underpinnings, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the Hyundai Genesis sedan have little else in common. Where the Genesis sedan is a mid-level luxury cruiser, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is an affordable, 2-door sports coupe. The coupe and sedan share some components and a few interior bits, but their personalities and missions are very different. The Genesis Coupe has a starting price under $25,000, while the least-expensive 4-door Hyundai Genesis sedan begins some $10,000 higher and approaches $50,000 for its most-expensive version. The Genesis Coupe's engine choices are a turbocharged, 210-horsepower 4-cylinder and a 306-horsepower 3.8-liter V6. A 6-speed manual transmission is available in all versions of the Coupe, while all Genesis sedans are equipped with automatics. More important than the difference between Genesis Coupe and its sedan counterpart is the fact that the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is one very cool customer, offering performance equal to or better than the Honda Accord Coupe or Nissan Altima Coupe, while offering an interior and available options more akin to those of the Infiniti G37 or BMW 3 Series.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe makes a great alternative to the smaller Honda Civic Si coupe and pricier Volkswagen GTI. Driving enthusiasts will enjoy the Genesis Coupe's rear-wheel drive setup, a configuration it shares with the Infiniti G37 and BMW 3 Series.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe doesn't offer the precise steering and taut suspension found on the Honda Civic Si or the pricier BMW 1 Series.
There are no major changes for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
Driving Impressions The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe's ride may prove a bit too harsh for some, but that is exactly what enthusiast driver's love about sports coupes. The base and Premium models...are a bit softer than the R-Spec and Track models, so you may want to test drive a few different trims to see what fits you best. Out on the road, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe cruises effortlessly, with great power and throttle response from both the V6 and turbocharged 4-cylinder engines. Hyundai's 6-speed manual is somewhat rubbery and vague, leaving us to suggest the 3.8's ZF 6-speed automatic with Shiftronic manual paddle shifters. For those who'd gladly trade some highway comfort for better handling and road-feel, the Genesis Coupe is at its very best when being tossed back and forth down a canyon road or a racetrack.
Sleek Styling
Is there a more boldly styled car available for under $25,000? The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is fun to drive, but it's the sharp sheetmetal that really sets it apart.
Track Trim
What's better than a sports coupe? A sportier one. The rear-wheel drive 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe can hang with some serious competition as is, but with a limited-slip differential, tighter suspension and bigger brakes, the Track and R-Spec trims are even more formidable.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe features soft-touch, high-quality plastics nicely molded into pleasing shapes around the dash, door panels and center console. A sprinkling of metal trim helps brighten an otherwise overly black cabin, as do the bright red cloth seat inserts on the R-Spec trims and the light-brown leather available on the Genesis Coupe Grand Touring model. True to its performance nature, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe's front bucket seats hold firmly during sporting drives, yet remain fairly comfortable even after a few hours behind the wheel. True to its coupe nature, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe's rear seat won't hold two full-sized adults and might even give kids leg cramps.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe wears dynamic and eye-catching sheetmetal. The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe's raked hood , short rear deck and available split-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels all scream "performance coupe," although some of the Genesis Coupe's character lines, like the disjointed drop at the base of the rear side window, seem a bit over stylized.
The base 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe features a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, 6-speed manual transmission, 18-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth phone connectivity, air conditioning, power windows/locks/mirrors, AM/FM/CD/MP3/iPod/USB audio and remote keyless entry. Safety features for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe include six airbags, electronic stability control (ESC) with traction control, ABS, electronic brake force distribution (EBD) and brake assist.
The Genesis Coupe is available in six trim levels. The 4-cylinder is available as base, R-spec and Premium, while the V6 is offered in R-spec, Grand Touring and Track. A fully loaded 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe features a 3.8-liter V6, 6-speed automatic transmission, navigation system, 10-speaker premium audio system, power sunroof, keyless entry and start, backup warning system, auto climate control, heated leather seats and power driver's seat. Opting for Track or R-Spec trims nets a combination of the following: limited-slip differential, track-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, 19-inch alloy wheels and HID headlights.
The 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe's 210-horspower, 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine has plenty of strength throughout the rev range and operates smoothly with no hint of turbo lag. The 306-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 is even silkier and stronger, but the added weight forces a compromise in handling. Both engine choices offer their own advantages, and buyers will find either well-suited for daily and performance driving. Both engines are available with 6-speed manual transmissions. Those who favor automatic transmissions will get a 5-speed mated to the 4-cylinder engine, while the V6's automatic option is a 6-speed unit.
2.0-liter in-line 4 Turbocharged
210 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
223 lb-ft of torque @ 2,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/30 (manual), 20/30 (automatic)
3.8-liter V6
306 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm
266 lb-ft of torque @ 4,700 rpm

Pros: "Confort and looks"
Cons: "mechanicly very poorly built"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"Although this car looks nice, has good power and comfort it is not a well built reliable vehicle that will last beyond 50,000 miles. Once we hit 50k the top end of our engine had to be tore apart to locate and fix a ticking pressure valve. a few moths after that the fuel pump poorly mounted to the driver side valve cover started leaking oil. by 60k the valve cover gasket leaked . At 64K our A/C went out and our windows and door locks started to intermittently not work. 3 days later the battery failed leaving us dead at a gas pump. 2 hours after that we left anti freeze all over the parking lot of a car dealership when something blew in our cooling system. We paid to get rid of this up side down pile of garbage and drove home in a Lexus. Never did they attempt to get factory help covering the issues that occurred only 4k miles past 60k and well with in 4 years of purchase. Do not buy one of these."

The only thing that does not look brand new is minor scratch on passanger front corner,even has black paint still on it, and the passanger front wheel has a scrape on it that is about 2" long right on the edge, otherwise it looks better than when it came from the factory.I gave the car a 9 in Design: interior & exterior due to what is listed above We live in Omaha NE."

"I will sum this car up in a line I have sent to Hyundai numourous times in surveys on service visits; I love your car....I hate your dealers. This car is great, good power, well appointed interior, and good looks .....kinda generic but better than the 2015 look. For the price you are put into direct competition with cars that can be at times twice the price ; you can't beat that! Not a big fan of taking my high end car to dealer that has hard plastic orange waiting room seating and dealers who don't really know this car as they are kinda rare. Bottom line the car rocks, Hyundai dealers do not!"

We had tree bees in two of the bird nesting boxes last year. If you ignore them they will depart at the end of the season.
Kweegly, one seedling per pot. Start by transplanting the seedling when it has two real leaves, into a 3 inch pot. When the roots fill that pot, pot on into larger pot .
Clarington, did the police prosecute the driver who hit you?
I had someone run in the back of me while lighting a cigarette, she was concentrating on the cig end and not the queue of traffic in front of her. ... and then of course they throw the fag end out of the window.
Just remember to water it well once a week through the first year. It is more likely to die of lack of water until it is established . Then it will survive anything.

Steve, I have Sandy soil in part of the garden. Perth is a whole new game. They don't call the western Australians sandgropers for no reason. The only grass that will grow is called buffalo grass. I broke a spade trying to dig it up at my friends new house.

A lot of things will grow through gravel, but to enable the plants to grow naturally I would remove the weed fabric.
I've used mine for sweetpeas for the past three years. I like them. For certain plants that like long root runs I think they are ideal. They are fine if you are careful with them. They won't stand rough handling.
