Rublev Colours Lead White #1 is the best tubed white lead I've ever used. Virgil Elliott swears by it, too. I compared it to a small amount of freshly ground white lead mixed with linseed oil. I made sure my grind was the same consistency as your tube white. Your tube white was just as good as what I made. I've been using it every day since. It is better than any other white lead I've ever used.
- William Whitaker, Provo, Utah
One thing I want to tell without sounding overly dramatic—your paints have changed my life, at least my artistic life. The mediums you have produced—Rublev Colours Oleogel and Venetian Medium in particular have opened up artistic possibilities that I had never suspected existed. They are thixotropic and have an open time that enables me to return to work for a couple days, which makes a huge difference for me in the practice. When I was working with Maroger, the window was about 6 hours, and after that either I had to glaze or scrap everything and start anew. Thanks so much for coming up with these incredible products!
- Francisco Benitez, Santa Fe, New Mexico
I personally love the entire line of Rublev Colours oil paints. I love every product I try for their unique characteristics and specific color. I am also hopelessly addicted to Rublev Colours Lead White #2 and will need to use it for the rest of my life. I may form an addiction help group for the product, Lead White Anonymous or something to that effect because it is beyond my adoration for any other paint or product—it is now essential to my working process and I will have a fit if I run out.
- Candice Bohannon, Auburn, California
Your products and services are of the highest integrity. The oil colors are lovely—great handling and saturation. My wife and I are both artists and we will definitely be buying more of your oil paints!
- Julio Reyes, Auburn, California
With the colors I have on my palette from Rublev Colours, I can pretty well handle whatever is thrown at me. The most magical of these colors for me are Lead White #2, Naples Yellow, Molybdate Orange, Vermilion and Lazurite. They're magic I tell you.

This report discusses the political debate surrounding national identity in the Netherlands against the backdrop of growing public anxiety about immigrants and their effect on local communities. While policies designed to mitigate these fears largely stress national identity and demand cultural assimilation, the report provides an alternative set of recommendations based on the notion of plural identification.
Finding some of the deepest anti-Muslim sentiments in Europe within German public opinion, this report explores the relationship between German national identity and immigration. It provides an overview of demographics, trends, and current debates, with recommendation on how to challenge prevailing stereotypes of Muslims and ensure equal outcomes for immigrants and their descendants.
This report examines why Spain, one of the countries hit hardest by the economic crisis with some of Europe's highest levels of unemployment, has not seen a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment. The report describes how the government and general populace have responded to immigration before and after the onset of the economic crisis, and highlights possible reasons for Spain's exceptional openness.
The integration of mobile EU citizens as a specific target group has not been widely discussed, either at EU or national levels, and EU-level integration policies focus on the integration of legally residing third-country nationals. This report investigates the broad range of integration needs that exist in Europe.
This report assesses the connection between the recent rise of resentment against immigration and broader trends in Norwegian nationalism, and proposes a few policy recommendations with the aim of minimizing this rift in Norwegian society.
Across the Atlantic, large-scale migration has brought about unprecedented levels of diversity, transforming communities in fundamental ways — with a resulting immigration backlash and criticism of "multiculturalism." This volume delivers recommendations on what policymakers must do to build and reinforce inclusiveness given the realities on each side of the Atlantic.
How the anti-immigrant political movement and rancorous debates surrounding immigration will impact countries' ability to build strong economies and vibrant, diverse societies is yet to be determined. This discussion focuses on the factors and players that contribute to this environment, an analysis on the current situation in both Europe and the United States, and a discussion on its implications for community cohesion and national identity in European countries and the United States.
The winners of the Migration Policy Institute's 2012 E Pluribus Unum Prizes, honoring exceptional immigrant integration initiatives in the United States, discussed their work during a plenary luncheon on September 24, 2012 at the National Immigrant Integration Conference held in Baltimore, MD.

FID is a tax on deposits and its abolition was part of the Federal Government's tax system reforms. ANZ systems and processes were modified for this change, and have ceased to charge FID on all deposits that were made to accounts after 1 July 2001.
FID may still appear on customer statements after 1 July 2001, but this will relate to deposits made on or before 30 June 2001.
Customer accounts held in Queensland will not be affected, as FID is not levied in this State.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Miami baseball team sat three outs away from a series opening victory at Buffalo on Friday, but will have to catch its breath and try to earn the win on Saturday.
Leading 8-3 in the ninth inning, the Bulls rallied to score five times and force extra innings. After both teams played a scoreless 10th, rain interrupted play and sent both teams home in an 8-8 tie. The contest will resume at 2 p.m. and will be immediately followed by the originally scheduled contest.
Both sides went down in order in the first two innings with Seth Varner fanning four UB batters and his pitching counterpart, Kevin Hughes, striking out two. MU recorded the game's first hit when John Crummy singled with one out in the third, but a double play ball ended any possible rally. Varner continued his mastery of the Bulls the first time through the lineup by striking out the side in a 1-2-3 third inning, giving him seven punch outs after three innings.
Max Andresen's two-out triple in the fourth was the first legitimate scoring opportunity for either team. The junior ripped a 1-0 pitch into the right center gap to station himself 90 feet from home. After falling behind 0-2, Gary Russo blasted a two-run homer over the wall in left center. His seventh home run of the season put the RedHawks ahead by a 2-0 count.
The Bulls roared right back by posting their first two hits of the game in the bottom of the fourth. Jimmy Topps singled and Nick Sinay followed with a double to move the tying run into scoring position. Matt Pollock's RBI groundout put UB on the board and Sinay stole third to bring the tying run 90 feet away from scoring with one away. Varner struck out Tyler Mautner and Mike Burke for the second time each to escape the jam with the lead intact.
Miami got the run back in the top of the fifth. Matt Honchel drew a leadoff walk and a UB throwing error on a sacrifice bunt put runners and second and third with nobody out. Crummy lofted a sacrifice fly to center that brought Honchel around, upping MU's lead to 3-1.
The Red and White threatened in the top of the sixth by putting two runners aboard on a single and a hit batter, but Hughes got out of the jam with a strikeout. The Bulls were rejuvenated after dodging trouble and rallied in the bottom of the frame. Brian Dudek reached base on an infield hit and advanced on Topps' sacrifice bunt. Sinay doubled him home and scored on Pollock's single up the middle to even the score at 3-3 after six complete frames.
Miami regained the lead with a pair of runs in the top of the seventh. Scott Slappey singled and stole second to start the frame and Crummy moved him up with a sacrifice bunt. After a Steve Sada walk, Ryan Elble brought him home with a successful squeeze bunt that put MU back in front. Dan Walsh followed with an RBI single through the box that made it a 5-3 ballgame.
Varner was strong over the next couple innings, getting an inning ending double play in the seventh and retiring the side in order in the eighth.
The Red and White appeared to put the game out of reach in the top of the ninth when they took advantage of two Bulls' errors to score three more runs. A walk and UB error put two runners aboard and a bunt by Walsh moved both into scoring position. Andresen drew another free pass to load the bases and Russo's fielder's choice ground out brought home Sada to up the lead to three. After Chad Sedio got hit by a pitch to load the bases, another UB error brought two more runs in to give the RedHawks an 8-3 lead.
With a five-run spread, Varner tried to finish what he started. That would not happen as Pollock walked and Mautner homered to cut the lead to 8-5 two batters in. That home run ended Varner's outing as the senior gave way to Ryan Powers. Buffalo continued its rally with Burke singling and Thomas Richards getting hit by a pitch to bring the tying run to the plate. After a strikeout, Vinny Mallaro drilled a pinch hit single up the middle to pull within two. The game was tied up one batter later on a pinch-hit two-run double by Chris Kwitzer.
Miami's half of the 10th featured a one-out walk, but no real scoring threat. Buffalo, however, loaded the bases on a leadoff single and a one-out walk and hit batter. Powers kept the winning run from scoring with a strikeout and a fly out that sent the game to the 11th. The rain became too much to continue playing and play was halted.

I think it might just be you. However perceptions are quite diverse.
Thread: Finally tried LIDGE..
Well.. it's on my skin now. Maybe it's too early to pass judgement. Started off pretty bad, couldn't quite pinpoint exactly what it smelled like, a mix of citruses and resins. Now that its mellowed out (been on skin for about 10 mins) it smells like Dior Homme Intense, with a ginger note, not ginger, think more gingerbread.. but there's like this nasty overlay on top of it. It almost smells like somebody farted on it. Is it just me?
10 mins in, Dior Homme Intense has been farted on, or really bad breath..

Trying to decide now if owning both LIDGE and DHI is worth it. I can't sample LIDGE before buying.

I didn't get farts. I did get a headache inducing, feminine scent on my skin. I always preface though that I'm not blaming the scent for being feminine as much as many fragrances like this come off as very "perfumey" or as an older woman perfume when on my skin. Something I'd imagine a woman wearing in the 70s or something.

Sorry to hear that. So far, do you feel LIDGE is overated?
More insight on the differences between LIDGE and DHI would be much appreciated!
Its anise note could be really over-powering. So, go easy on the trigger/application with LIDGE. I didn't like it at all the first couple of times I tested it on my skin. But, then I fell in love with it once I gave it a full wearing.
I think LIDGE is very over-hyped here. However, I don't get any fart scent in it. lol.
LIDGE takes a bit of getting used to and I didn't start liking it until the 3rd or 4th day of wearing it. It's the anise and patchouli combination mixed in with the cocoa and vanilla. In the end I sold my bottle because I like the anise and patchouli combo in Rive Gauche better. I find LIDGE has little in common with DHI.

Since you like the gourmands, I think it's a pretty safe bet you would like LIDGE.
I would not buy anything blindly, however. Go to surrendertochance.com and get yourself a sample! It's just 6 bucks, plus $3 for shipping. Sample some others while you're there. It's a great service. Yes, it's expensive, but better than wasting money on an entire bottle.

It has gotten better as its dried down.. but still.. meh. There really isn't anything "intense" about it, except for the overdose of patchouli I am getting now.. and I am not much a patchouli fan. Patchouli to me, has often smelled like cocoa.. I do get the cocoa too, but mostly patchouli. Doesn't project very well, but I can tell it's gonna last a long time.
Maybe that "fart" smell I was getting, is just the citrus clashing with the cocoa and patchouli. I have not read the notes on this one, but I reckon it being labeled as a citrus/chocolate fragrance. With that said.. I definitley get citrus meeting cocoa, but I don't really care for it, not to say it's bad.. it's just a bit unorthodox. I've seen this compared to Play Intense before, I think Play Intesne does a much better job pairing citrus with cocoa.

Love this fragrance from start to finish and a scent that fits me like a velvet glove. Imo this tops even the vintage DHI for the vanille & Cocoa combo which is rich and most satisfying. With the vintage DHI this combo thins out over the long haul and just does not match the quality of Guerlains fine offering.
I think the name Guerlain gives this fragrance more credibility than it deserves.

I would say the Guerlain is a bit more formal and the DHI is more fun. But that's just to me. Even though I have both, I really don't wear either all that often, but do enjoy them when I do. It would be hard to pick one as I enjoy different aspects of each.
Neither I would consider a personal favorite though, compared to many of my other bottles. If forced to pick a "winner" of the two, I'd probably take DHI, but like I said, they each serve a different purpose, so I'd probably select the Dior based on its versatility and my age.
I don't find LIDGE feminine though.

Let me just get this off my chest: If you judge a fragrance by one wearing, you're doing it wrong.
But I've liked L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme Extreme since my first wearing so I can't really say I'm in the same situation as you are. I think the top smells like bug spray though, very harsh. I know I shouldn't make such a bold statement, but there must be batch variations because LIDGE'S drydown is unreal. The projection and longevity for me is amazing as well. I do not like the original version.
Over hyped IMO, had it-sold it. Nothing special for me
I like the original better. It's a more bright and lively scent.
I havent had any negative thoughts about it. The first couple of wearings, I thought it was ok. I do get a perfumey vibe from it like some have mentioned. But the last couple of times I have worn it, I have really liked it. However, I don't need a bottle, my decanted sample will be fine.
btw I dislike DHI. Can't stand the make up smell

LIDGE just came in today. So, I have LIDG, LIDGE, DH, and DHI, in whatever formulations.
To me, LIDGE smells A LOT like LIDG; perhaps a little 'deeper' and some (more?) chocolate-y-ness more-so apparent later on?
I don't understand the comparisons to dior homme intense. They don't smell similar at all. They might share cocoa, but it's very sweet in DHI, and bitter in LIDGE.
The similarity ends there for me. LIDGE is so much more masculine to me.
Ah yes the wonder that is our friend, flatulent LIDGE! Seriously, for me the first 20 minutes or so is the best part. Then it's nothing I can't get from some company that sells gourmand fragrance oils (for a lot less). Now others who like this sort of thing might be able to detect differences that are important to them, but I can't remember the last time I wore a scent with that much of a gourmand element, other than to sample it on my ankle because I didn't want to get nauseated over time.

I had owned LIDGE twice prior and I think it is incredibly over hyped. I know that I am in the minority here but I actually enjoy LIDG more than I did LIDGE. There was far to much patchouli in LIDGE for my liking. I find DHI to be a far superior scent.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Ok, so the sample that the OP is smelling came from me, and I can assure you I did not fart in it before I sent it to him, LOL. But I also agree to some degree that this frag is a bit over rated. It seems that a lot of frags that are hard to come by are way over rated here on BN. If LIDG lasted and projected as long as the EDP but still smelled the same I would own three of four bottles of it. I own the EDP in case it gets completely discontinued and cant be found anywhere and the price skyrockets. Then Ill sell it for a considerable profit and buy something I really like. Sorry youre not a fan Jeff, I hoped you would like it!
It is no doubt highly over rated but still I find it much better than DHI, which is again very over rated.
Currently on my Rotation:
1. Cartier D'un Soir
2. Loewe Essencia
3. Bergamotto Marino
4. Herb Alpert Listen
5. Artisan
6. Bang
8. Pal Zileri No 18
9. TdH
0. Kenzo Homme
It's extremely overrated. The EDT has much better projection and longevity,
and is a much better scent overall, IMO.
So it sounds like LIDGE is odd smelling and Dior smells good, but it isn't preferred....
Guess I'll just have to sample.

2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:

2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
I guess I will have to try LIDG next.
Also, I don't get the feminine lipstick accord from DHI, but that's another story. I consider DHI to be the gentleman's gourmand.
As far as saying judging a fragrance by one wearing is wrong.. I disagree. For me, and many others too, we know if we want it based on one wearing. Very little will a fragrance "grow on me" -- don't get me wrong.. it could happen. I usually know if I like something the moment it hits my skin. Examples: Norne, Taste of Fragrance, Esencia (Loewe) and a few other stand out bold ones.
Although, I am not completely writing LIDGE off.. I still have more of a sample to go through.. I think the dry down is actually pretty nice.. but the opening and mid are a bit unbalanced imho. If I like the cocoa note in this, I could find it in a fragrance I like entirely and add that to my wishlist, like DHI.

No offense, but the fact that you smelled a "fart" means you didn't get a proper wearing. And don't give me the whole, "Everybody smells things differently." No, when you make an off-base comment on a fragrance it shows you didn't give a proper assessment to the fragrance.
This may sound like I'm aggressively defending LIDGE but it isn't even my favorite fragrance. I only get aggravated when people make off-base comments like what you made. Maybe you truly did smell a "fart" smell but that doesn't mean it will smell like that during your 2nd or 3rd wearing. If it still smells like that, you either got a bad batch or you need to see a doctor immediately because your olfactory senses are not working properly.
When I give it a full wearing, often my opinions would drastically change. Even my enjoyment of a fragrance by full wearings can differ, based on my choice of clothing, the weather, and even my mood.
That's why I would always recommend thoroughly sampling a fragrance and not judging it by just one sampling. I remember when I first sampled Jubilation XXV, I was sorely disappointed. But then when I wore it to work, I was amazed by how good it was and ended up getting in on a split.
There are a few that I instantly know I won't like though, as they're not my "style" per say, and I can tell from the get go.
To my taste LIDGE kicks DHI ass thousand different times. But I prefer DH to DHI (at least vintage formulation, that I own), so this is not a fair dispute, concerning my preferences.
I get citrus and cocoa mainly from LIDGE, nothing odd smelling to my nose. DHI is good too but I don't get a resemblance to LIDGE. They are quite distinct but similarly overhyped.
I take back farts though.. let's say Dorito's. I have noticed this in a number of fragrances when pairing cocoa with citrus, it turns out this way.

LIDGE and DHI are such beautiful compositions in their own right. Totally different in my opinion.
Having said that, there is also this air of mystery that surrounds both because you can't just walk in to a shop and purchase them (for the most part, definitely in the USA).
I would not pay above retail for either. I just won't do it. I refuse to do it for anything. Even if I love it.
If retail for either was $150 I would pay it though because they're worth it.
But price gouging is something I won't condone!
I like LIDGE but prefer DHI.
LIDGE Is more masculine...if that matters to anyone.
I bought into the hype here on BN, did not "wow" me as much as I thought it would. It's not bad, but I wouldn't feel bad without it. I like the original as opposed to the extreme though.
I had the luck to grab just one bottle left behind by chance!!!
Really happy with it, but prefer DHI.

Keo.co.za brings you the news from the Currie Cup.
Kanko cops one-week ban
Ryan Kankowski will miss this week's game against the Leopards after being suspended for stamping.
Following Saturday's loss to the Lions, the Shark No 8 was cited under Law 10.4 (b) for stamping on an opponent. Kankowski used his right foot in a stamping action on the body (stomach area) of Lions flank Trevor Hall during the 75th minute of the game. He received a yellow card for the offence, but was later cited.
On Wednesday, he pleaded not guilty to the charge. His defence argued that he was in the process of falling backwards which forced him to lift one leg to regain his balance and that resulted in him placing his foot on his opponent as he regained his balance. It was also argued that the Sharks No 8 did not have the benefit of being able to stop during the incident to regain his balance and ensure that his foot was placed away from his opponent.
According to a statement from Saru, after considering all relevant facts and available video evidence, the judiciary recommended a suspension of two weeks. This was however reduced to one week after a ruling that Kankowski's action was impulsive rather than reckless was made. There was thought to be no malice in Kankowski's actions.
Pretorius gets start
Andre Pretorius will start his first match for the Sharks against the Leopards in Durban on Friday.
The flyhalf comes in for Pat Lambie, who drops to the bench. The Sharks have made four other changes and one positional change, which sees lock Gerhard Mostert make his first appearance since injuring his shoulder in the opening match of the Super 14 against the Chiefs while Springbok tighthead prop Jannie du Plessis also gets a run.
Sharks – 15 Louis Ludik, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 Andries Strauss, 12 Riaan Swanepoel, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Andre Pretorius, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Keegan Daniel (c), 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Jacques Botes, 5 Gerhard Mostert, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 Jannie Du Plessis, 2 Craig Burden,1 Eugene van Staden.
Subs: 16 Kyle Cooper, 17 Patric Cilliers, 18 Anton Bresler/Michael Rhodes, 19 Michael Rhodes, 20 Rory Kockott, 21 Pat Lambi and 22 Luzuko Vulindlu.

IMPORTANT: In Minnesota, a civil action is started when the Summons and Complaint are served on the defendant, which can happen before a case is filed with the court and given a file number. If you were served with a Summons and Complaint and don't know what you should do, talk with a lawyer immediately to get advice. Court employees can provide general information on court rules and procedures, but are not allowed to give legal advice.
Before starting a civil action, you must figure out if you have a legally valid claim. You must also examine how the importance and complexity of the issues compare to the amount in dispute and the costs of litigating the case in court. See Rule 1 of the MN Rules of Civil Procedure on proportionality. If you file a case that is frivolous, meant to harass the other side, or it doesn't have merit, you may be ordered to pay fines as well as attorney fees and costs incurred by the other side, or have other sanctions ordered against you. See MN Rules of Civil Procedure 11.
To avoid starting a frivolous lawsuit, you should know the answers to these two questions, and if you don't, you should talk with a lawyer:
1. Is there a legal basis for my claim?
There must be a law that supports your claim against the other party (or supports your defenses to a lawsuit against you).
Example: If storm water backs up into your basement and soaks the carpet, you may wonder if you can sue the city for the cost of clean-up and carpet replacement. There may be a Minnesota law that protects cities from lawsuits for homeowner damage that was out of the city's control, or was caused by an "act of nature."
Before filing the case with the court, you or your attorney should research the law and find out if you have a legal basis to sue. If the law protects the city from liability in your situation, it might not be in your best interest to start a civil action.
2. Has the statute of limitations expired?
A statute of limitations is a law that puts a time limit on how long a person has to pursue a legal remedy (such as a civil action) after an event occurred that caused them harm or damages. After the time limit is up, unless there are exceptions allowed by law, the person who was harmed loses the right to file a civil action. Different types of claims have different statutes of limitations. If the time to sue has expired, you may no longer have a legally enforceable claim.
Talk with an attorney to see if you have a legal basis to start a civil case. An attorney might suggest other factors that would support your lawsuit that you did not consider, or she might tell you the reasons why you should not start a civil case.
Note: Court staff cannot tell you if your claim is valid or help you weigh the proportionality of the importance and complexity of the issues in your case against the amount in dispute and the costs of litigating your case in court. You should talk with an attorney to get this type of legal advice on your situation.
In some situations, you must take specific steps to create a basis for suing. In other words, you need to do something before you sue. Depending on the situation, steps required to be completed before starting a civil case could be included in sources such as the Minnesota Statutes, rules or regulations, or in a contract.
Example: If you want to sue your landlord because your apartment needs repair, there may be a legal requirement to give notice to your landlord about the problems and allow time to make repairs before you can start a civil case. (This is just an example and may not be an accurate statement of Minnesota law for landlords and tenants.)
Example: Special procedural requirements are often involved in malpractice cases. MN Statutes § 544.42 and § 145.682 require an expert's affidavit to be served along with the pleadings, or the case could be dismissed.
Anyone who handles a case in court (attorneys and self-represented parties) are required to know and follow the court rules. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for failure to follow the rules. In some situations, not following the rules can result in a case being dismissed, or in fines being assessed. Lawyers regularly read and re-read the MN Court Rules. If you are representing yourself, you must also study and follow the rules. If you do not understand the rules, you should ask a lawyer for help.
Read Rights and Duties of Self-Represented Parties.
Read Laws, Rules & Resources for Civil Cases for a list of some of the rules that apply to civil actions.
Get more help with legal research at law libraries throughout Minnesota. Law libraries are open to the public, and hours will vary.

|Parents Beware - Many Toys Still Toxic, Hazardous
Dangerous or toxic toys can still be found on America's store shelves, according to the Florida Public Interest Research Group (Florida PIRG). At a news conference today at All Children's Hospital, Florida PIRG presented its 24th annual Trouble in Toyland report.
Joining Brad Ashwell of Florida PRIG were Senator Charlie Justice and ACH's Emergency Center physician Dr. Ricardo Jimenez.
According to the most recent data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) toy-related injuries sent more than 82,000 children under the age of five to emergency rooms in 2008. Nineteen children died from toy-related injuries that year.
The latest Trouble in Toyland report, along with a new interactive tool accessible via smart phone or computer – www.toysafety.mobi - will help parents and other toy-buyers avoid some common hazards.
The 2009 Trouble in Toyland report and the interactive website focus on three categories of toy hazards: toys that may pose choking hazards, toys that are excessively loud, and toys that contain the toxic chemicals lead and phthalates.
Additional information on toy safety can be found on the U.S. PIRG website www.toysafety.net.

Comments about Dakine Sentinel Glove 2012:
I love these gloves. I used to only ride Fox Gloves but these fit me much better in the fingers and knuckles. I ripped a hole in the palm of the glove the first time I used them on a nasty fall, but I've had them over a year since and haven't put any other rips in the material whatsoever. Great for all types of riding unless it is really cold out. My two biggest problems with the glove is that the fingertip grips deteriorated quickly (haven't found a glove that doesn't do this though), and that the velcro stopped working after a few months of use. Also the material has seperated from the velcro on my right glove. That said, the finger tip grips have lasted much longer than most other gloves that I've owned.

Electric Cars
Electric Cars
An electric car is a car that is powered by rechargeable electrical batteries rather than gasoline or other fuel. These batteries are recharged by plugging them into a power source, hence the nickname "plug-in electric." Electric cars are operated by electric motors and their controllers as opposed to gasoline-powered internal combustion engines. Electric cars differ from hybrids in that hybrids are powered by both electricity and gasoline.
Electric cars drive differently than their gasoline-powered counterparts. Electric cars run very quietly and can accelerate much quicker from a stop than gas-powered cars do. While they are much cheaper to operate and can be recharged at home nightly, electric cars take longer to recharge and do not go as far on a full charge compared to traditional fueled cars. Electric motors do not possess as much horsepower as some engines do, but they also do not exude tailpipe emissions.
Electric cars have been in existence since the late 1800s. Although they established a market niche in the early 1900s, their popularity waned by the 1920s due to their poor fuel economy and sluggish speed. It was not until the late 1990s and early 2000s that hybrid cars were introduced into the market and began enjoying a surge in popularity. This paved the way for all-electric cars to come back into the vogue and enjoy public popularity. (Photo: Wikimedia Commons)

Imagine a Victorian library, add booze and you've got this place—low lighting, dark wood bookshelves, hundreds of hardcover books. The kind of joint where you'll want to toss on a velvet robe, light up a pipe and throw down with Hemingway over an Old Fashioned. (Actual robe and pipe discouraged).
"French Toast was seriously the best I've had in a LONG time."
"Great happy hour option, but this place is cash only. ATM in the back!"
Two cocktail menus are in the works; one low-octane wine and beer, one very spirit-forward. East Coast style cocktails — more about the booze, than the juice. Big Sister is a bourbon and whiskey gal and is "not trying to rewrite the bar books." Classic cocktails will have a reasonable price point but Big Sister wants to make sure good booze is used.
The wallpaper wouldn't be out of place in a San Francisco parlor, circa 1910, or a smoky bar in Paris or Prague. The light is dim and the jumping jazz soundtrack gives the place a speakeasy vibe. One wall is taken up with a low bookcase from which patrons are encouraged to borrow books — it's stocked with everything from the classics to the Hunger Games. This is the kind of bar where it's not only accepted, but encouraged, to sit on your own and read.
San Francisco, CA 94102

JON CARDINELLI writes that if the Sharks hope to maintain their status as conference leaders they will need to capitalise on a favourable tour draw.
Anything less that three wins will be a failure for John Plumtree's men, who have to date eased to two comfortable victories. While the performances have been far from polished, their intensity and tactical appreciation have been unmatched. If they can add a dimension of accuracy to their game, they will trouble their tour opponents.
The Sharks play the Force this week, a team that so nearly upset the Reds in the opening round. The Force were typically stingy on defence and controlled possession for long periods. If not for their 25 handling errors, they may have inflicted as much damage to the scoreboard as they did to the Reds' pack.
The bye arrived at a bad time for the Force, and they now have to start from scratch. They'll host a Sharks team that's built some momentum through two wins, a team that has a reputation for meeting aggressive forward challenges head on.
The Sharks travel to Melbourne thereafter to tackle the Rebels, a team that's enjoyed mixed success. The win against the Brumbies was a magic moment for the Melbourne side, but the Sharks have nothing to fear as long as they stick to their game plan. They have the right mix of muscle and guile to outplay a Rebels side that is limited in key areas.
Next on the Sharks' schedule is the Chiefs. While the men from Hamilton have always been known for their ability to counterattack, they used to hold a reputation as one of the tougher units at the breakdown. We've seen little evidence of this in the Chiefs' first two games, however, and these failings have contributed to two defeats. The Sharks are a team that bullies opposing packs before unleashing the backline, and I suspect they will be especially tight against the Chiefs.
The final tour match is by far the toughest. If Plumtree harbours hopes of beating the Crusaders he will need to manage his squad cleverly in the preceding weeks. What is in the Sharks' favour is that the Crusaders are likely to host this game at Trafalgar Park in Nelson, and so home ground advantage may not be as much a factor.
Winning at least three of these four clashes will keep them in the top two of the South African conference, while winning all four will keep them in pole position. They're well placed now, and while there's pressure to perform on this tour, it's a pressure they need to embrace.
They showed good composure against the Blues last week, and will have further opportunities to put substandard sides away on the coming tour. If they can return from their Australasian sojourn with a three from four return, and ultimately a five from six record, they will be superbly-placed as they begin their home leg of the competition.
That first home game in round seven is against the Stormers, a team that hasn't won in Durban since 2004. Thereafter, they will enjoy a bye.
The promising halfback pairing of Charl McLeod and Pat Lambie has dominated Super Rugby like they dominated the 2010 Currie Cup. Lambie has impressed with his distribution while his kicking game has also been crucial to the Sharks' cause. McLeod may not offer as much in the tactical kicking department, but the Sharks have a good alternative to Lambie in fullback Louis Ludik, a player who was hugely influential against the Blues.
What's been less impressive is the lack of synergy between Meyer Bosman and Lambie, as well as the centre combination of Bosman and Stefan Terblanche. That midfield is under pressure to produce in the coming weeks.
The Sharks' inconsistent lineout and defence will also require sharpening. Terblanche hailed the latter aspect as a reason for victory last week, but the reality is the Sharks missed 20% of their tackles.
It may seem harsh to criticise a team that is yet to concede a try, but their defensive stats tell a story. The Sharks leaked eight linebreaks against the Blues, and had the Aucklanders not committed 29 handling errors, the contest may have been closer.
A sharper showing is required on tour, a four-game period that could be so crucial to the Sharks' play-off prospects.

His attitude in July toward the franchise didn't help matters either. There's a ton of things he could be doing right now to get fans on his side in this socially networked new world. He does none.
Ribbing justified.
After he play some guys will be praising him as if Jesus arose before December 21. He really is a top 4 SG IMO, only if he can stay healthy and hopefully after this injury he can do so. Anyways our training staff sucks, so is it a way we can sign a regular trainer from the Suns as our head trainer?
I understand this sentiment, but then what would be "in bounds" on the board? Aminu doesn't read this board and is stinking up the joint lately. Should we not discuss his poor play?
Some people think that if Gordon had more intestinal fortitude, then he would be playing right now, just like some people feel like if Aminu spent all summer working on his jumper, instead of his Tumbler page, then he would be playing well and thriving. To me, if it is okay to spend thousands of pages talking about players deficiencies over the years, then it is in bounds to pound on Gordon for his mental makeup and soft nature.
I think discussing it is different than grousing, then refusing to acknowledge anything that is contrary to an opinion formed in seconds, or one formed.long ago, or, as happens here, insulting someone who has a different opinion or draws a different conclusion.
Just trying to make sure others are as frustrated as you is no way to behave in life or on a board. If it's not fun or informative in some capacity, then that should be out of bounds.
But what do I know?
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Its really hard to say whether Gordon has low pain threshold or not since we don't know the exact diagnosis. The only thing we can say is that his injuries are a concern and makes his durability highly questionable just like last season when both sides were discussing whether to sign Gordon to his max or not strictly based on his potential.
I don't dislike him, but honestly, I don't mind the Gordon ribbing. Not because of his injuries, but mostly how he acted when he signed the offer sheet from Phoenix. He doesn't deserve any benefits of the doubt from this fanbase. His missing games only make it worse, especially getting a huge contract based solely on his potential instead of production.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I thought we were supposed to expect Davis back in 8-11 weeks??....
Here's the quote you are disparaging:
"8 weeks seems to a glass-half-full recovery period for typical sort of stress reaction in the ankle, with 16 weeks being the glass-half-empty counterpart. The extent and location of Davis' injury and how well the treatment takes will determine if he can beat the 8 week `typical'."
This was based on typicals. This is not based on specific knowledge of Davis' situation. If you have better research, please present it. If not, rather than poke fun at someone doing work you are too lazy or too incapable to do, perhaps be thankful that the injury was not as bad as the typical injury, that he reported it before it got worse, and that the staff got him back on the court in a good amount of time.
Or how about moderators here just delete any post with that subject matter. Go all out Nazi. How 'bout that?
Honestly, we have no clue whether Gordon wanted to play or not. To be honest, it wasn't his call. Demps said from the get go that he wouldn't play Gordon unless he was 100%. Gordon wanted to stay and rehab here (according to Demps), but Demps sent him to LA because a) he could concentrate fully on rehab, which he has been doing 24/7, and b) Demps wanted the training staff to focus on the team (not just Gordon).
With regards to what is "in bounds," I would agree with this:
Once again, it isn't his fault he got injured. He is rehabbing for 8 hours every day, so it's not like he is sitting on his couch collecting a paycheck. He wants to play, so we should support him.
I'll also say he's getting the benefit of playing in a small market. Peopl really aren't paying that much attention to it except us poor stiffs down here. If this happens in L.A., N.Y., Chicago, Boston, he'd be getting roasted even worse on TNT, ESPN, Yahoo, Fox Sports and the like. What happens on this board is kid's play compared to what would happen in a larger market.
Bynum plays 15 games this year, then after an entire off-season, starts next season with the same crap, he'll wish he never went to Philly I guarantee.
Now, I expect Davis back Tuesday. Wouldn't surprise me if he plays heavy in the B2B either.
C r.
Monty didn't give a specific date for the return, so I'd remain open-minded.
I do hope he's back Tuesday, no doubt, if only to give us the best chance of avoiding "we lost to the worst team in the NBA" threads.
I want to agree with this, but here is my retort:
Would Kobe Bryant have missed this many games with the same exact injury and/or level of pain?
The reason I bring this up is because this is exactly what we unconsciously do when we bring up "poor play". We bring it up relative to good play. We don't want a guy who misses 6 of 10 shots and gets 4 turnovers per game, we want a guy who only misses 5 of 10 shots and turns the ball over twice per game. If you are mad about poor play, it is because you want a guy who performs more like another player you have in your mind.
I feel like you can make the same case with Eric Gordon. I complain about him because another shooting guard would have taken the same circumstances and played/performed.
Again, this all goes back to whether you think he is injured to a point that no human could play through or if you think there are players who could have gone about this a better way and played more than Eric has over the past year. If you believe the latter, I think it is the same as criticizing all the other things we criticize on the court
Is he injured to where he can't play? I mean, could you play with a 10% quad? I doubt it... Besides, with a leg that weak, he would be begging for a torn ligament if he tried to play an NBA season on it. You know that. Demps has said multiple times that he decided to freeze Gordon until he was 100% healthy. People keep claiming it's a "sore knee," and while it's fun to mess around like it's not a real injury, that couldn't be further from the truth. I don't know why people are so mad at him for being injured (that isn't directed at you, by the way).
I'd say Gordon has something more severe than just a sore knee (let's throw out as many things possible, he has a broken knee, a broken heart, a broken leg, a broken...?), nobody knows. But it's pretty clear that we were lied to in regards with what is wrong. I'd also say using Kobe in any debate is a poor choice. There is nobody else like him.
Secondly, maybe I am too lazy to do so called "research" or maybe I just don't care enough. But I can assure you that I am not incapable of doing so. The fact that you do your "research" and expect everyone to agree with your claims is what bothers me. I think you need to give the members of this board a little more credit. Not everyone who comes on here has the intelligence of a caveman, and just because we don't agree with you doesn't make us less intelligent than you.
And don't make it out like I just think think everyone is stupid. I do not. I do, however, find it extremely rude misquote someone, then insult them for saying what was misquoted.
You did not do this, by the way.
I'd also wait until Davis comes back and gives two solid games, hopefully a back to back, to get excited. Gordon was doing all of this before he got shelved. With this presenting, to a degree, as pain after an activity, one may may be needed to tell if he's recovered.
I want Davis back as much as anyone.
