Germany is a country that is renowned for its automobile industry. The nation loves driving too, with its derestricted autobahns famously allowing completely legal high-speed travel. But it isn't just about ultra-fast roads. Germany also has some of the best driving routes in Europe too, many of which are famous and very well established.

Nicole Scherzinger-can she not get a job in the US?
Just asking because she seems to be over here all the time. Now she's doing an Andrew L.Webber tribute as Evita. How do we get rid of her...?
Not a fan then...
A few of the Pussycat Dolls are based in the UK these days...
Fair exchange, we get the pussycat dolls and America gets THE SATURDAYS...
She's a lovely girl, talented, gorgeous. Why would we send her back?
OP, why don't we get rid of you?
She tried her solo career in the US in 2007, 2009 and most recently in 2011 with the X Factor US, but the other girls from PCD sabotaged her image with stories etc, which may or may not have been true.
Either way it damaged her reputation in the US, and she was largely seen as the person to blame for the split of the band which was a shame.
I think she suits the UK though, she obviously loves it here, her boyfriend is British and she seems to fit in very well, especially with the X Factor last year. I'm glad she has a successful solo career here. She's stunning and talented. :)
Her boyfriend is English. Perhaps that has an impact on where she likes to be.
I think she is a beautiful woman and think maybe she enjoys spending time with her boyfriends and his family and living here makes it easier to do that
I like Nicole, loved her on XF. Would trade her in for Tulisa anyday of the week.
Nicole is great, I dont care if she never goes back to the US, she can stay over here and be on tv for ever as far as Im concerned.
Bloody American popstars, coming over here and taking our jobs.
I think Nicole is great and am quite happy for her to be so prominent on TV here.
But yes, as someone else pointed out, Lewis Hamilton's permanent residence is in Switzerland I believe. (Something about tax *sorry* privacy issues). :rolleyes:
There's bound to be a vacancy at a McDonalds outlet somewhere in the US. They always take on talentless people.................. (and some talented, but they restrict that to the UK)
I think Nicole has tried to carve out a career in the US but for one reason or another it doesn't seem to have worked.
She wasn't very popular on US X Factor and her music career never really took off.
I always thought she was quite dull and boring until her judging role on X Factor now I quite like her. She seems to have a good sense of humour and the UK (for the most part!) seem to have taken to her.
I don't think she will be around for much longer though, at least as a pop star, as nice as she is I still think she's missing that spark.
Some of you are giving the pussycat dolls a lot more credit than they got in the US. They didn't really sell that many records here. The first album did great, but it isn't hard to sell half naked girls singing about sex. The lady who created the burlesque show that the group was formed out of was ingenious in that. They only had four singles in the top 10. The second album was pretty much all Nicole and that really didn't sell well.
She was always the most popular of the dolls because she was they one who said and very few people know the other girls names. It used to be joked about all the time on TV. Even with that, very few people here were/are interested in her as a solo artist. It's been that way for her for a very long time. None of her solo attempts ever worked for her in the US. It just goes to show that no matter how hot you are or how well you can sing, you aren't garunteed to have people buy into you.
She's here to keep an eye on her boyfriend/son.Strangest celebrity couple out there.

Tempting: Jenny Toomey Sings the Songs
of Franklin Bruno
Which isn't always a good thing. The song title "Dossier" hints at one of the flaws of A Cat May Look at a Queen: a weakness for lending Flaubertian detail to impossibly dull stories. For example, the moving-day epic "Bulk Removal Truck" drags its circular melody out for six minutiae-filled minutes about cleaning the freezer and removing Post-it notes, all to make the tiny point that (eureka!) things change.
But save for three or four clunkers, the writing on Bruno's third solo CD is top-drawer pop formalism with as much heart as mind, and Bruno's best melodies--somewhere between Stephen Sondheim and Stephin Merritt--are as artful as they are crafty. While the album glances at Tom T. Hall and Neil Young, its home seems to be an off-Broadway cabaret. Bruno plays a passage from Rhapsody in Blue and dedicates a song to Broadway lyricist Lorenz Hart, whose melancholy romanticism and playful rhymes have clearly provided a model. Like Cole Porter, Hart didn't shy from atypical pairings such as "trousseau" and "Robinson Crusoe," a cheekiness Bruno mimics when he sings, "You were yin to my yang/You were Sturm to my Drang."
The catch is that Bruno isn't much of a singer. At its best, his narrow-ranging nasality recalls Loudon Wainwright; at its worst, Tom Lehrer. Pleasant timbre and pitch control aren't really essential for rock singers, but Bruno often writes beyond his vocal abilities, so that even as you admire his songs, you can't help wondering what they'd sound like sung by one of the real-deal torch singers Bruno can't hold a candle to.
Like, say, Julie London. Or Julie London crossed with Patsy Cline and Scrawl's Marcy Mays--which is about the sound that former Tsunami leader Jenny Toomey hits on her new album, Tempting: Jenny Toomey Sings the Songs of Franklin Bruno. The album is a kind of indie-rock Nilsson Sings Newman, and a better introduction to Bruno's songs than his own albums.
Toomey's dusky, slightly twangy alto brings out the full breadth of Bruno's American Songbook-informed melodies and she interprets his literate lyrics with aplomb. Backed by a tasteful band highlighted by Bruno and Calexico's Joey Burns and John Convertino, Toomey sings a set of new and old Bruno numbers that touch on Brill Building pop, bossa nova, mariachi, Sinatra swing, and Chet Baker moodiness, but are rarely mere genre exercises. On songs such as "Unionbusting," cleverness is the whole of the lyrical law. But it's a virtuoso cleverness, and lushly tuneful. Torch songs such as "Just Because It's Dying," "Pointless Triangle," and "Only a Monster" boast similarly striking melodies, as does the album's lone rocker, "Every Little Bit Hurts" (not the Gladys Knight tune--better!).
Tempting proves that specialization was a key to the success of the Golden Age Broadway Bruno so admires. Cole Porter wasn't a bad singer, but he was no Ethel Merman, and he knew it. Okay, so now that Jenny Toomey has the ball rolling on covering the Bruno songbook, can somebody get Bruno in touch with Michael Feinstein?

ACUS building 'model agency' from best practices, success stories
Monday - 10/3/2011, 10:20am EDT
Best practices and lessons learned aren't worth much if they're not shared and applied.
The Administrative Conference of the United States, an independent federal agency that promotes improvements to the administrative process, is launching a project to help agencies become model agencies for the 21st century.
ACUS isn't doing it alone — it's looking looking for ideas and success stories from agencies.
Shawne McGibbon, the conference's general counsel, joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris to explain the new initiative.

Turkish club Galatasaray have revealed that they might ask for help from Emmanuel Eboue to lure Kolo Toure to Istanbul.
The Manchester City centre-half is being heavily linked with a move to Gala' before the close of the Turkish transfer window at midnight tonight but the club needs to finalise some details.
Galatasaray manager Fatih Terim says that the club may use former Arsenal defender Eboue, who joined them in August last year, to assist with pushing the Toure deal through.
"We have to bring someone in, obviously a defender. We're interested in Kolo Toure from Manchester City," Terim said.
"We can ask for help from Emmanuel Eboue if we need it, to complete the deal."

Do you like removable batteries in cell phones
My personal opinion is yes. Because the phone hardware will almost always outlive it's battery. Now I get that a lot of people upgrade their phones, once a year. But personally I like to keep hardware around for a while. I also like to have the option if the battery does go bad prematurely to just buy another one and not have to send the phone in.
I think it's pretty sad and wasteful that the new trend is for everything to have batteries that are non removable.
Then again that's my opinion. What do you guys think about cell phones that have removable batteries?
Lets also take the time to talk about how to take care of that battery built into your phone that you can't replace and are stuck with

I downloaded the recent Nvidia driver for Bioshock Infinite, and now whenever I try to start up Oblivion I get this message in a little window: "Failed to initialize renderer.

If you downloaded the driver, would you mind trying to boot up Oblivion and reporting back if it works? And if you know how to fix it, I'd gladly take an answer!
(I wasn't sure if this should have went specifically in the Oblivion forum or not.)

On the heels of the brouhaha that resulted from the Komen Foundation pulling Planned Parenthood funding, only to reinstate it a short time later, comes a new report that sheds new light on the nation's largest provider of abortions.
The American Life League has released a graphic new video report that it claims proves how Planned Parenthood "exposes children to sexual material in order to seed a generation of sex addicts – who will become future customers for the abortion giant."
I'll need to think about that "future customers" part for awhile, but I do know this: Liberals have always tried to mainstream casual sex. From Crosby, Stills and Nash's "If you can't be with the one you love; love the one you're with" admonition, to the various "condoms for kids" programs around the country, our children are being taught that it's perfectly fine to have sex – whenever and wherever they feel like it.
"If you aren't convinced by now that there are some truly sick pups behind Planned Parenthood, this video from the American Life League should erase any lingering doubts," says the Right Scoop. "In the name of 'education,' Planned Parenthood exposes children as young as 10 years old to pornographic illustrations of masturbation, nudity, sexual activity, and much much more."
"Any parent that sees the video of Planned Parenthood's material for school children will be horrified," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of the American Life League. "Planned Parenthood's business model is aimed at making money from people who are engaged in sexual activity. Those are the women who will have abortions, which made up 51% of Planned Parenthood's clinic revenue in 2010."
As I warned at the top, the video is graphic in nature:
"Hooked on Sex" begins with graphic images showing how Planned Parenthood regularly uses props shaped as male and female genitals – including suckers – in their pitches.
In another section, it discusses a book for 10-year-olds with graphic images about how to masturbate, put on a condom and have sexual intercourse.
The video also discusses Planned Parenthood's STARS program, (Seriously Talking About Responsible Sex), which requires high school students to attend a sexually explicit Capital Pride parade.
The idea that Planned Parenthood is allowed to expose America's children to anything this sexually explicit – let alone perversion – is revolting enough, but when the fact that it receives government funding is taken into account, the revulsion is far worse.
In fact, CRIMINAL is more likely a better way to describe it.
Sounds like our children could teach us a thing or two about sex.

Turkey warns that YouTube and Facebook could be banned
Published on Mar 8, 2014 6:30 AM
ANKARA (AFP) - Turkey's embattled prime minister has warned that his government could ban popular social media networks YouTube and Facebook after a number of online leaks added momentum to a spiralling corruption scandal.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan's proposals to tighten the government's grip over the Internet have generated criticism at home and abroad about rights in the EU-hopeful country.
"There are new steps we will take in that sphere after March 30...including a ban (on YouTube, Facebook)," Mr Erdogan told private ATV television in an interview late Thursday.
The US State Department on Friday criticised Mr Erdogan's remarks and expressed concern over "any suggestion that social media sites could be shut down, as the Internet law is implemented." "We're looking to Turkey to uphold its commitment to respect fundamental freedoms of expression... Independent and free media are essential to an open society and an accountable system of government," spokeswoman Jen Psaki said during a news briefing.

So... i have no more reason to play this game. I decided to start playing again after Omega and Leviathan came out and to get my war points i need MP. That doesnt work anymore, so... yea. I guess EA doesnt have enough of our money just yet to upkeep their servers. Makes sense. Gotta have that 10th lear jet now right? Makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
... i hate these people... i just hate them SO much. Its also good to know that there is nothing worth mentioning game wise in EA's future. Therefore i will not be purchasing anything from now on with the EA logo on it. Mass Effect 4 will fail. IF that EA logo is on the bottom right of the box. Sorry, but its true.. O well right?

I had a rather unpleasant evening in the Water Bar on Saturday with long delays for my food (I was on my own) and when I enquired about it the staff stayed away from me and therefore service got worse. It was a shame as I was looked after by other colleagues in the same bar so well the night before.

Kate Upton is the kind of swimsuit model who always makes a memorable impression, and Sports Illustrated celebrated that fact, on May 21, by publishing a behind-the-scenes video of a nude photo shoot the supermodel posed for way back in 2011.
So, why publish it now?
Because Kate Upton has become a superstar in just those three short years.
Since her rookie year (as SI puts it) the top swimsuit model has managed to cross over into other entertainment areas, all the while feeding the frenzy with some topless and mostly topless photo shoots.
But, it's her latest foray, stretching her wings even further, that has tongues wagging: Kate Upton has become a sought after supporting actress getting rave reviews from fans and critics alike after her recent turn in "The Other Woman."
So, perhaps it's only natural that Sports Illustrated wants to toot their horn a bit when it comes to showing just how far that first shot has launched the budding actress.
It probably didn't hurt that Kate Upton was completely naked - except for a clinging, very revealing, two piece bikini, literally painted on to her gorgeous body.
Of course, a successful actress doesn't have to do topless photos any more. Now that she's a top Hollywood starlet, she can pick and choose what she feels like doing.
But even going totally natural and hiding beneath a ball cap, tight jeans and a simple cotton blouse gets the paparazzi flashing bulbs, as Kate Upton showed by trying to slip quietly into LAX on Monday.
That's why it's so refreshing for Sports Illustrated to open the vault and share some rare video of an up and coming star before she really hit the big time.
Click the video to have a look at Kate Upton, in nothing but a painted on bikini, back in the day. It's easy to see that, swimsuit or not, she's definitely an unforgettable role (super) model.

PHAB-accredited agencies range in size from small health departments serving communities of 45,000 to those serving large metropolitan areas of millions, such as the Chicago Department of Public Health. Hundreds of health departments are currently preparing to seek national accreditation through the program, which launched in September 2011 after more than a decade in development.
Kane County Health department was "energized and strengthened" through the accreditation process, said Barbara J. Jeffers, MPH, executive director of the newly accredited Kane County Health Department in Aurora, Ill.
"We used the process as an opportunity to critically assess our effectiveness, improve our processes, and continuously improve the quality of our public health programs for the residents of Kane County," Jeffers said. "The constant support of the Kane County Board and community partners was vital to this historic accomplishment. Achieving accreditation opens the door to a number of benefits, including increased credibility, accountability, and possible funding advantages. Our journey of continuous process and quality improvement moves forward each day."

can someone host a photo for me?
put a lift and 37s on my dodge and need to show the world!
Not really sure what you're asking. You need help posting a pic or are you looking for someone to Photoshop something for you?
- Cajun
Just go get a FREE Photobucket account! Easy to use, can be used to recover your photos if you lose them on your home computer.
Oh I meant just to post one, I very rarely upload photos so I was just seeing if someone could do me a quick favor, just one picture.
Where is the pic in question?
join PHOTOBUCKET or IMAGESHACK
load your pix into either one, i use Imageshack
then you can easily put the pix on this site, 1 to 6 at a time
no need to load them into this site first
after you join imageshack, someone will tell you the steps, first couple are confusing, after that its all butterscotch custard
How about you just upload it to your gallery and someone can take it from there? Here's a good how-to for that: http://www.ramforumz.com/showthread.php?t=47017 and we can help you get it posted where you want it. :)
- Cajun
Another good suggestion! ^^^^
Instead of sending through email and everything why not just make an account hahahaha??? It is very easy. YOu sign up make and account and thats it. I use Photobucket very easy. Also there is a HUGE button that says upload picture and then you choose which ones and there you go! All you do is copy the IMG link off the pic in Photobucket and copy paste it into the thread

Pat Dalworthy is a tracker, ex-pilot cadet in space corps and a dabbler in physics. As a Tracker, a hunter of people who would rather not be found, he is the best there is in inner system and, to hear him tell it, outer system, too. One of the problems with being the best is that you sometimes get much, much more than you bargained for.
Dalworthy is in for the ride of a lifetime and more than a life-time of a ride when he is contracted by Sean McGavin, one of the wealthiest men in the solar system, to track down one of his granddaughters. She has disappeared into the lower city and she has taken something McGavin wants returned. Dalworthy is to hunt her down and come back with both the woman and the goods. He is not to stop until it is done. It is not going to be easy and he is expendable. What she has in her possession could easily spell the end of all life on Earth, maybe the whole solar system if the slightest error is made, but what she carries in her will bring an indelible change to the human species and there is nothing anyone, not even Dalworthy, can do about it. So, which is it going to be, the end of all life or a change known as . . . XENOGENESIS?

"Not good"
I have to agree with the previous review. The narrator is not good. The material does not seem very good either, but it is difficult to be sure given the handling of the narrator. Terrible voice actor.
"Narrator RUINS this book"
I have no idea if this book is well written, because I never got past the first ten minutes. Imagine a boring local newscaster reading lines from a hard-boiled detective character. That's what Mark Douglas Nelson does to this book. Nelson might be good for a non-fiction book, but he has no skill with voice characters.

Best on the Market in performance and quality for the Veloster T
Reviewed By Angel V (Woodbridge, VA) Reviewed for a 2015 Hyundai Veloster —2/25/2015 8:58 PM
I love this CAI from AEM, it really improves MPG at least 3-4. The throttle resoponse is way better, sound is amazing. You can here the turbo spooling way better than OEM. I can say that from my experience with other cars comparing K&N and INJEN, AEM IS the best no doubt. Intallation is a little time consuming But overall i give 10/10. Great Product
AEM for Veloster Turbo
Reviewed By Brian D (GRAND PRAIRIE, TX) Reviewed for a 2015 Hyundai Veloster —1/19/2015 7:12 AM
I looked at several different intakes for my Veloster Turbo. I finally settled on AEM after reviewing price to performance gains, as well as aesthetics for my car color. I wanted a CAI rather than an SRI. The instructions were easy to follow. All of the parts were clearly identified in the packaging. I was able to install it in about an hour, including the time it took to remove the stock intake components and bumper and button it all back up. There is now a loud wooosshhh!! when I accelerate.

Matthew Reilly's top 10 medieval thrillers (and characters)
Historical fiction author Matthew Reilly marks the publication of his new book The Tournament by sharing his favourite medieval thrillers, characters, and a movie...
1. The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
The grand daddy of them all. Umberto Eco's fantastic medieval murder mystery was basically Sherlock-Holmes-in-the-Middle-Ages…with a whole lot of incredible and incredibly detailed historical material thrown in. This is the book against which all other medieval novels are measured.
2. Brother William of Baskerville
Eco's hero in The Name of the Rose. Brilliant, abrasive, logical, a little vain but always wise, Brother William was a hero to cheer for.
3. The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
I really enjoyed this novel even if it isn't technically a "thriller". I love novels that examine the "unseen" players in history. I like to think I did this myself in The Tournament by introducing readers to Roger Ascham, the wonderful real-life tutor of Queen Elizabeth I.
4. Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett
I'm going to include fantasy-medieval worlds in this list, if only because Terry Pratchett is awesome! Pratchett's Discworld is a wonderfully realised medieval society and his Commander Vimes books like Guards! Guards! are simply superb.
5. The Tournament by... Matthew Reilly
Hey, I've got to mention my own medieval thriller! An intricate murder mystery, some racy sex scenes, a chess tournament that may or may not be rigged, and an analysis of how a little girl became a great queen: this book goes places you won't expect. In the end, a thriller lives or dies on its characters and, after all the murders and chess are stripped away, this novel is all about how a little girl named Bess became a great queen, Queen Elizabeth I.
6. Roger Ascham
Real-life tutor to Queen Elizabeth I and the hero of The Tournament. Gentle and kind but whip-smart, Ascham is a man ahead of his time. He uses what we would today call profiling to solve some ghastly and gruesome murders in the sultan's court in Constantinople.
7. Robin Hood
Where the character of Robin Hood originated is debated, but as a medieval character, there are few better. If you read Robert Lacey's Great Tales of English History, you may wonder if he really did steal from the rich to give to the poor…or if he was just a bandit!
8. Thud! by Terry Pratchett
In this Discworld novel, Pratchett cleverly describes the historical enmity between dwarfs and trolls, a brilliant allegory for real human rivalries (think: Israel and the Palestinians).
9. Brotherhood of the Wolf
Okay, it's not a book and it's not technically medieval (it's set in the 1700s), but this fantastic French film about a town being terrorised by a gigantic beast is great fun! As in The Name of the Rose and The Tournament, the hero is a man who is ahead of his time.
10. Henry VIII
There is one character who dominates the medieval novel and that is the one and only Henry VIII. Is there a more complex individual in history? Powerful, intelligent, bold, handsome, athletic, yet destined to execute some of his wives, split from the Catholic Church and grow old and paranoid, Henry provides a wonderful canvas for any author of fiction. To try to think as he did and to put words in his mouth is just a fiction-writer's joy (the makers of the The Tudors clearly knew this). Henry appears briefly but very memorably in The Tournament and takes on a larger role in that novel's short online prequel, Roger Ascham and the King's Lost Girl.

Federer tones down South America tournament hopes
More News from Agence France-Presse
MELBOURNE — World number two Roger Federer says he had the time of his life at a recent exhibition event in Brazil but toned down hopes that South America will soon bag any of the big tournaments.
The continent was buoyed by a decision in December to include the Colombian capital Bogota on the 2013 men's schedule, joining San Jose, Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires in hosting low-level events.
With Rio de Janeiro holding the 2016 Olympics and the 2014 football World Cup also in Brazil, the focus of the sporting world is turning on the continent.
But Federer said it may have to bide its time to get the World Tour Finals or one of the nine Masters 1000 events.
"I was deeply impressed by the atmosphere, by the love for the game, for the appreciation they showed for me showing up," he said, referring to the exhibition he played in Sao Paulo in December.
"They made it one of the most fascinating trips of my life to South America. So, of course, I'd hope to go there more often in the future."
But he cautioned about the continent getting its hopes up too high, too soon.
"Who knows, maybe they'll get the World Tour Finals eventually. It's not easy to get a Masters 1000," he said.
"It needs to make sense. Don't forget, if you add one, you almost have to take another one away. Who deserves to have one taken away from them?
"It needs to be thought through thoroughly or you just add one. Then again, maybe other places also deserve one. I don't think it's right now on the agenda.
"I think South America is happy the way things are right now, they would like some minor improvements. That's all they care about.
"They just got Bogota, as well, which I think is a good thing. But we'll discuss more about those kinds of things in the future, I'm sure. It's going to be interesting."
