Volkswagen to Debut Electric e-Golf at LA Auto Show
Volkswagen continues to prove its commitment to green technology with the unveiling of the e-Golf at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. With a full array of diesel vehicles and the recent introduction of the gas-electric Jetta Hybrid, the e-Golf moves Volkswagen into the realm of all-electric vehicles.
Boasting a range of between 70 and 90 miles, the e-Golf is able to manipulate its electric motor's power delivery to give drivers the option of more horsepower or greater range.
Three different driving modes are available: Normal, Eco, and Eco+. In Normal mode the e-Golf makes a full 115-horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque, or enough power to take the e-Golf from 0-60 mph in a reasonable 10.4 seconds.
Stepping up to Eco mode improves the vehicles range, but also pulls back some of the e-Golf's modest power. With 94-horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque available in Eco mode, the e-Golf scoots from 0-60 in 13.1 seconds.
For owners who really want to get the most range from their e-Golf, there's Eco+ mode. With power pared down to 74-horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque, and the A/C shut off, Eco+ mode is ideal for city use.
In the event a Volkswagen e-Golf owner does find his or her car out of electricity, Volkswagen is offering an exclusive roadside assistance plan that will take an owner and his or her e-Golf to a charging station at no cost, provided that the owner is within 100 miles of his or her home.
Furthermore, if an owner does not want to wait with his or her e-Golf as it charges, Volkswagen will cover the cost of a cab ride home; though, such an event will likely be rare as the e-Golf's battery can be recharged to 80-percent of its capacity in approximately 30 minutes when using a DC Fast Charging system.
Volkswagen designed the e-Golf to help owners cope with potential range anxiety. A range monitor provides the driver with general information, such as the impact auxiliary systems like the A/C will have on the e-Golf's range. And regenerative braking will be offered in three different levels in order to allow e-Golf driver's to recapture the most kinetic energy back if they so desire.
Unlike many modern electric vehicles, the e-Golf is unique in that its architecture was designed from the start to use electric propulsion. As such, the battery and electric motor don't intrude into the passenger compartment.
Sporting the familiar styling of the all-new Golf, the e-Golf wears a unique fascia with "C-shaped" LED daytime running lamps that will become a signature cue of all electric Volkswagen's. Volkswagen also added LED headlamps that use less energy than halogen or xenon units.
The e-Golf marks the beginning of a new electric age at Volkswagen and we at LAcarGUY News look forward to seeing the next steps the company takes on the road to electrification. LAcarGUY News will be at the Los Angeles Auto Show posting the latest news and images from the show on our Facebook pages. Be sure to "Like" Pacific Volkswagen and Volkswagen Santa Monica on Facebook to get the latest information from the show floor.
Meet Pacific Volkswagen Product Specialist Gorkem Gercek
America is a melting pot, people come to this country from all over the world for kinds of different reasons, and here at LAcarGUY, we are a microcosm of that. We have a great diversity of people that we are proud to call employees here at LAcarGUY.
As part of a new feature we want to highlight some of the great people who work here, and help you, be it as a sales person, a service technician or someone in the back office. The first person we are going to feature is Gorkem Gercek, one of the Product Specialist at Pacific Volkswagen.
Gorkem was born in and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, on the European side. Istanbul is a unique city in a number of different ways, one of them is it is a city that is on two continents, both European continent and the Asian continent separated by the Bosphorus Straights, one of the busies sea lanes in the world.
Gorkem was born into a Volkswagen family, it's all his family has every owned! So, it should come as no surprise that his first car was a Beetle, and then after that, he owned five Polo's before coming to America for college in 2007.
When you are born into a Volkswagen family, and are a Volkswagen enthusiast, and you have to write your thesis for your M.B.A., what's your subject? "How Volkswagen Can Better Cater To The U.S. Market"!
It's interesting that many of the points in Gorkem's thesis, more affordable, better distribution, focus on value, are many of the items VW, has move towards in the last few years. While he was at National University here getting his M.B.A. what car did he buy? Why a Volkswagen of course! It's a 1998 Wolfsburg Edition Jetta, and it's daily driver still.
We asked Gorkem what makes you stand out at Pacific Volkswagen. He said that everyone comes to him with questions about Volkswagen's because he knows the products and the brands worldwide. A great example was recently one of his colleagues at Pacific Volkswagen came to him and asked if VW make pickup's because he saw a a pickup with VW badging over the weekend. Gorkem was able to show him pictures of the Amarok, which is sold in Mexico and throughout Asia.
We asked Gorkem is there was a car in Volkswagen's world lineup that he'd like to see sold in America that is not, and he said without a doubt it's the Polo. He feel's it's a great car for what young people are asking for. A small, really affordable car ($15,000-$16,000) that also is safe and gets great fuel economy. He points out that the BlueMotion TDI Clean Diesel gets over 70MPG!
We are proud to have Gorkem on our team at Pacific Volkswagen, and if you have any questions about VW's world wide, he's your man. The next time you stop in, make sure you say hello.
LAcarGUY Partners with Grades of Green in Trash Free Lunch Challenge
LAcarGUY's group of South Bay dealerships have partnered with Grades of Green to kick off the 2013 Trash Free Lunch Challenge. Grades of Green is challenging schools to reduced lunchtime waste by encouraging students to pack trash-free lunches and to sort waste into recycle, compost and landfill bins. The 4R System that Grades of Green introduced helped divert over 10,000 bags of trash and saved participating schools thousands of dollars in 2011-2012.
The project teaches students the 4Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rot (compost)
- By bringing TRASH FREE each day, the students will make a difference at school by REDUCING lunch time landfill waste. They will know the number of landfill bags produced at lunch before the Challenge and by being TRASH FREE during the Challenge, they will see that number decrease.
- By bringing REUSABLE lunch boxes, water bottles, sandwich and snack containers each day they will reduce lunch time waste.
- The school will implement a sorting system during lunch which will include bins for: RECYCLING, ROT (compost), liquids and stacked trays. Educational games will teach students about WHAT items go into each bin and WHY.
- Each bin in the sorting system will be clearly labeled to support students in the proper sorting process. These signs will educate and reinforce the concepts of REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE and ROT.
The Grades of Green team has been visiting participating schools and holding assemblies to educate students and get them excited about the project. Applications to participate in the project are due March 15th and finalist chosen among those schools with the least amount of trash will be announced March 22nd. Judges will visit the finalists on April 16th and the winning school will be announced on April 22nd at the awards ceremony.
Participating schools include:
- Vista Mar High School
- Washington Elementary
- Riviera Elementary
- Lunada Bay Elementary
And supporting LAcarGUY dealerships are Pacific VW, Audi Pacific, Subaru Pacific and Pacific Porsche.

Local Community Heroes Receive Their 2012 Beetle's From Oprah Winfrey Show
LAcarGUY's two Volkswagen stores, Pacific Volkswagen and Volkswagen Santa Monica, handed over the keys of the newly redesigned 2012 Beetle to three local Oprah Winfrey fans, as part of the show's "Ultimate Favorite Things" giveaway!
These three lucky fans were given the surprise of their lives during a November 2010, Oprah "Ultimate Favorite Things" episode, when audience members, all specially selected community heroes, found out that they would be receiving a brand new 2012 Beetle.
Excited to participate in such a deserving promotion, LAcarGUY's Volkswagen Santa Monica was proud to give Gina Elise, the "calendar angel," her new, Silver 2012 Beetle. Gina is the founder of PinUpForVets.com, a project that supports hospitalized Veterans and deployed troops.

Volkswagen Announces Pricing For The New Golf R
• Well-equipped two-door model starts at $33,990
• Sunroof and Navigation models have MSRPs of $35,490 (two-door) and $36,090 (four-door)
• Most powerful Golf production engine to be sold in the U.S.
• Six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive standard
• Predicted fuel economy of 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway
• Bi-Xenon headlights and LED DRLs standard on all models
• On-sale early 2012 as a 2012 model, in both two- and four-door versions
Intelligent downsizing. That's what the new Golf R represents. The heir to the 2004 and 2008 Golf R32 models, the new R manages to have more power, more performance, and consume less gasoline than its illustrious iconic performance forebears. And it offers all this for just $33,990, plus destination, for the two-door Golf R model.
Whereas the R32 models used 3.2-liter VR6 engines, the new Golf R is fitted with a high-output version of the award-winning turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI® engine. This engine makes 256 horsepower, six more than the VR6 fitted into the 2008 R32. As well as offering more power and performance, the Golf R is also more economical, with manufacturer estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway compared with EPA estimated mileage of 18 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway for the prior model.
Like the previous R32 models, the Golf R is equipped with Volkswagen's 4Motion® all-wheel-drive system: the latest generation of this system can divert up to 100 percent of the torque to the rear wheels, if needed. All Golf R models sold in the U.S will be equipped with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission. For the first time, the Golf R will be available in two- and four-door guises as well as in two trim levels: well-equipped Golf R and luxurious Golf R with Sunroof and Navigation.
The Golf R is a refined vehicle that's marked by clean, minimalist lines that are mixed with sharp, intricate detailing. The style is sleek and contemporary, yet timeless and elegant.
The changes made for the Golf R are subtle yet striking, in keeping with the car's mission of providing sophisticated and understated performance. Up front, there's a new bumper that incorporates LED daytime running lights and three large black air intakes that help cool the engine. The radiator grille is finished in gloss black and features an "R" logo that sets the front of the car apart from the rest of the Golf range. Unique Bi-Xenon headlamps that are framed in black also have the Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), whereby the lights turn with the steering wheel, up to a maximum of 15 degrees, to provide better visibility around bends.
The car's streamlined profile continues toward the rear, with a pair of subtly flared side skirts running along the lower edge of the body. The new 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels expose gloss-black-painted brake calipers that incorporate the "R" logo; the exterior mirrors also have a gloss-black finish.
There's further differentiation at the back of the R, where a new rear bumper was needed to accommodate the central twin pipes for the exhaust system, similar to the tailpipes fitted on the original 2004 R32. The bumper also features a gloss-black diffuser. The back end is highlighted by a slightly larger tail spoiler than that of the GTI and a subtle "R" badge. The R is available in five colors: Rising Blue, Candy White, Carbon Steel Gray, Black, and Tornado Red.
Just like the exterior, the interior has been enhanced to make it even more purposeful and demonstrate its role at the apex of the Golf range.
On opening the door, the driver and passenger will note aluminum "R" kickplates on the sills, before sliding into deep bucket seats. These are adorned with an "R" logo on the head restraint and are upholstered in supple leather.
The squared-off steering wheel is also swathed in leather, with gloss-black-finished spokes that carry through from the exterior design. Other R-specific features include: blue pointers for the instruments; the shifter knob with an "R" motif; aluminum trim for the dashboard and doors; and aluminum pedals.
The Golf R comes extremely well equipped, even in base form. Fully automatic dual-zone climate control is standard, along with a multifunction steering wheel, Premium VIII audio with eight speakers, aux-in, a Media Device Interface with iPod® connectivity, and Bluetooth®. The Golf R with Sunroof and Navigation adds the RNS 315 touchscreen navigation system; a 300-watt Dynaudio® sound system; a sunroof; and Keyless Entry with push-button start.
Just like the rest of the Golf range, the R is practical and versatile. The high-lifting tailgate provides easy ingress and egress to a load area that offers 15.3 cubic feet of space. And with the folding rear seat back split 60/40—and featuring a pass-through—there's real flexibility for load carrying.
Engine and Transmission
The Golf R is fitted with the most powerful Golf production engine ever seen in the U.S. The car uses an updated version of the EA113 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, rather than the EA888 engine used in the current GTI. Like the EA888, the EA113 uses direct fuel injection and double overhead camshafts with variable intake timing. Because the Golf R develops more power and torque than the GTI—256 horsepower and 243 lb-ft compared with 200 hp and 207 lb-ft—a number of changes have been made. The cylinder block is reinforced, stronger connecting rods are fitted, and a BorgWarner K04 turbocharger is used, boosting at up to 17 psi. With manufacturer estimated fuel economy ratings of 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, this is the most fuel-efficient Golf R model ever sold in the U.S.
The Golf R is offered with a slick shifting, close-ratio six-speed manual transmission that features a magnesium selector housing and cable operation with very short lever movements. The latest-generation 4Motion all-wheel drive is also standard on the Golf R. This system uses a Haldex® clutch pack that continuously varies the amount of torque sent to the rear wheels, depending on whether slippage is detected at the front. In normal driving, the Golf R acts like a front-wheel-drive machine, which has benefits for fuel economy. However, if needed, up to 100 percent of the torque can be directed to the rear wheels for traction on more challenging surfaces.
The Golf R has unique calibration for its suspension, even compared with the GTI. At the front, it uses a damper-strut layout with lower control arms and a stiff, tubular anti-roll bar that combine to help keep the front tires planted during hard cornering, reducing body roll and heightening steering feedback.
At the back, there's a compact multilink independent layout that features coil springs, telescopic dampers, and an anti-roll bar. The four-link layout features three lateral control arms—the spring mounting, the track rod and upper control arm, and a trailing link at each wheel. Suspension assemblies are attached by way of a rear-axle subframe and, as at the front, rubber and metal mountings that are soft in torsion but stiff radially are used to help ensure the anti-roll bar responds immediately and suppresses body roll effectively.
The spring and damper units are located separately on each side of the car at the rear, with the coil spring bearing directly on the trailing link and the damper attached to the wheel hub assembly. This enables the suspension geometry on the compression stroke to generate a toe steering effect that maintains neutral behavior, or some slight understeer, in all driving and load-carrying situations. It also helps ensure excellent driving stability on rough, uneven road surfaces. Stylish 18-inch-diameter aluminum-alloy wheels are shod with 225/40 all-season performance tires.
Steering and Brakes
The Golf R uses a third-generation electro-mechanical power steering system that is able to vary the feel of the steering to suit the speed and driving situation. It is firm and direct when driving at highway speeds, requiring less effort at parking speeds. Other advantages of the system include its mild self-centering action, and its ability to help compensate for driving hazards like crosswinds and steep road cambers. In the Golf R, the steering ratio is quicker than the GTI's for an even sportier on-road feel.
The brakes were modified to cope with the Golf R's higher level of performance as compared to the GTI. Golf R gets vented 13.6-inch-diameter front and 12.2-inch rear discs, up from the GTI's 12.3-inch-diameter vented front and 10.7-inch solid rear discs. Naturally, anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard, along with electronic brake pressure distribution (EBS) and hydraulic brake assist (HBA). The latest version of HBA is able to discern whether the braking is "normal" or an emergency according to the speed with which the pedal is depressed. In the event of an emergency, HBA helps increase the brake pressure and activates the ABS.
Safety and Security
The 2012 Golf R comes with an array of standard safety features. For driving security, enhancements include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), and an Electronic Differential Lock (EDL). A hill holder function automatically applies the parking brake when the vehicle comes to rest and the brake is depressed in traffic, preventing the car from rolling backwards or forwards. The brake is released once the driver presses the accelerator pedal. This is especially useful in slow traffic on long inclines.
Should the car be involved in a crash, the occupants are protected by driver and passenger front and front side thorax airbags together with Side Curtain Protection® head airbags for front and rear passengers. Volkswagen's advanced Intelligent Crash Response System shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and even switches on the hazard lights if the car is involved in certain types of collisions.
Like all 2012 Volkswagen models, the Golf R is covered under the no-charge Carefree Maintenance Program. All scheduled maintenance is covered for the length of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty—three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Model Line-up
The base Golf R is a sophisticated and luxurious performance car, with a high level of standard equipment.
Golf R
Starting at $33,990, the two-door Golf R comes equipped with Bi-Xenon headlights; dual-zone Climatronic® air conditioning; cruise control; leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel; power windows with auto up/down function; leather seating surfaces; 60/40-split folding rear seat with pass through; aluminum pedals; a leather shifter knob and brake lever; and Bluetooth® technology. The eight-speaker sound system has an in-dash six-CD changer, AM/FM/SiriusXM™ Satellite Radio, and auxiliary input jack along with an iPod® adapter.
Golf R with Sunroof and Navigation
Starting at $35,490 for the two-door model, this adds: a power tilt-and-slide sunroof; Keyless Entry with push-button start; the RNS 315 touchscreen navigation system; and the eight-channel 300-watt Dynaudio® premium sound system.
All-New 2012 Passat, 8th Volkswagen to Receive a 2011 Top Safety Pick Award
Having moved North American production to Chattanooga, Tennessee, the all-new Volkswagen Passat has now been repositioned to compete at the heart of the mid-sized sedan market. Now it has earned the coveted Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) Top Safety Pick rating for 2011, which is the highest possible for the non-profit safety research organization.
This annual rating recognizes vehicles that perform best in protecting passengers in the Institute's front, side, and rear crash test evaluations, along with the newly required roof-strength test evaluations. Top Safety Pick ratings are only awarded to vehicles that are fitted with electronic stability control and head protection airbags.
The Passat is the eighth Volkswagen vehicle to win the award for 2011. Among its winning siblings is the CC 2.0L TSI, Jetta, Jetta Sportwagen, Tiguan, Touareg, and four-door GTI models.
"Performance of the Passat is another example of Volkswagen's ongoing commitment to engineer vehicles that earn the highest safety ratings," says Institute president Adrian Lund. "Top Safety Pick winners achieve that status by earning the top ratings in the Institute's four demanding tests, and by having electronic stability control, the most important feature in helping drivers avoid many kinds of crashes in the first place."
"The new Passat is an important vehicle for Volkswagen," said Jonathan Browning, President and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. "It has been engineered in Germany specifically to compete in the heart of the North American mid-sized sedan segment."
"To have IIHS recognize the Passat as the Top Safety Pick is a great statement for this new car–and to have eight Volkwagen models with this significant award is an equally great statement for the brand. It's a testament to our commitment to make safety such a high priority in vehicle development, using advanced techniques such as laser seam welding and the extensive use of high-strength steel to build exceptionally strong structures."
The Passat will hit our showrooms in the third week of September. Join our Facebook community or follow us on Twitter to be one of the first to know! Or contact us today and have one of our sales consultants contact you personally as soon as the vehicle arrives.

Rogue [X-Men ..Fanart thing].. fixed!
I believe it's my first time posting in this section since it became a section for the top quality work only. So let's see if the piece will fit here.
I was doodling today, and I asked my sister which of the X-Men babes should I paint. And she said Rogue, but dressed like she was about to go with Gambit and steal something. So I took her classic green-yellow costume and made it darker, got rid of the bright yellow... and I think it works quite well.
Anyways, here she is What do You think of her?

Thanks everyone.
And I agree that it might be too dark. I did it on my laptop and it looked okay, but then on my other monitor it was really dark, but I thought it was rather this other monitor's fault.
Well I made her all brighter and darkened her face. I hope it looks better now.

I think still a little more contrast would make it pop. And maybe usuing a slightly warmer tone for the background and highlights could project the picture even more. Im no pro tho.

The face still looks flat. Place the face in shadow and add some highlights and it will blend better. I did a quick mock up (like 20 seconds). You can work a little longer and make it look much better. Good Luck.
August 3rd, 2009 #8
A few probs in my oppinion: While it may in actuallity be propotionally correct the head seems large. This might be because its the brightest thing in the picture making it stand out, or that the hair stype gives the appearance of a larger cranium. Also I think it would be nice to make some indication of the neck. To me those two problems together give the illusion that she has an oversized cranium floating over the body with no attatchment.

For what its worth, i dont think the face is the real problem here, as you can see above, if you render out the face too much we lose the focal point of the painting. I think the bright "flat" quality of the face gives us a nice spot to settle our eyes on, however her body sillhouette definitely needs to come forward from the background... Nice work overall!

The point - choose your style, don't mix them (it looks amateurish). If you want to keep the face, then render the body similar to http://images2.fanpop.com/images/pho...6-1024-768.jpg - more comic book style, IMHO.

A potential first-in-class drug, GATTEX is a proprietary analog of naturally occurring human glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2), a peptide secreted primarily in the distal intestine and involved in the regeneration and repair of the intestinal epithelium. A previous Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical study in patients with SBS showed that daily subcutaneous injections of GATTEX resulted in significant growth of the intestinal lining and improved dietary absorption of nutrients and fluids. Once the company has completed its analysis of data from the Phase 3 SBS study, it expects to pursue a pre-NDA meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to discuss its potential plan for submitting a New Drug Application in mid-2008. NPS is also pursuing development of GATTEX as a possible treatment for chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal mucositis in cancer patients and necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants.
NPS president and CEO Dr. Tony Coles stated, "This agreement expands our relationship with Nycomed and brings us an important strategic partner for GATTEX outside North America. The collaboration provides us with a partner that will help us pursue a full development program for GATTEX worldwide, not only in SBS, but potentially in other indications, as well. We welcome this opportunity to collaborate with Nycomed to advance GATTEX in these key territories and look forward to our work together on realizing the full potential of this unique compound."
Nycomed CEO Hakan Bjorklund stated, "We believe GATTEX has the potential to be an important new therapy for serious gastrointestinal conditions. We are excited to add GATTEX to our product pipeline, as it perfectly matches our development and marketing capabilities in the gastroenterology field. We look forward to developing GATTEX as a partner of NPS."

Whether or not Jon Voight gets an Emmy for it this week, "Ray Donovan" is its own reward for him.
The "Coming Home" Oscar winner already has a Golden Globe Award for his meaty portrayal of Mickey Donovan, a rough-around-the-edges parolee and estranged father of Liev Schreiber's law-firm-"fixer" title character on the moody Showtime drama that has just gotten a Season 3 renewal.
Schreiber makes his series directing debut on Sunday's (Aug. 24) episode about a troublesome family party ... and longtime friend Voight, who also worked with him in the 2004 remake of "The Manchurian Candidate," enjoyed being guided by him.
"I love the art of acting, and it's my joy to be on a set trying to bring a character to life," Voight tells Zap2it  with evident pleasure during a chat in Los Angeles. "This is a delicious character, and I'm very grateful for it. I do draw on some of the problems I've faced in in the past for it."
Citing such second-season cast newcomers as Ann-Margret, Hank Azaria, Wendell Pierce and Vinessa Shaw, Voight adds, "We're very fortunate to have these actors coming in. And Liev is very, very special. His work is really extraordinary, and his potential is just enormous."
The father of actress and filmmaker Angelina Jolie, Voight obviously is happy about his current Emmy bid for "Ray Donovan," but he also considers it realistically. "To be one of those actors who gets to a place where you get consistent work, it's very hard," he notes. "All actors are the same. After the job is over, we wonder where the next job will come from, so we all go through that anxiety.
"As you get older, you say, 'Well, I've been through this before and something will happen, whatever it is.' Of course, also as you get older, the parts get more scarce. I look back at that young fellow who was trying to make his way and make enough to live on, and I was very fortunate to meet Pam Polifroni, who was the casting director for 'Gunsmoke.' "
Indeed, Voight's history with television -- also encompassing the miniseries "Return to Lonesome Dove" and a stint on "24" -- dates back to the start of his career. He appeared on such other classic series as "Naked City" and "The Defenders" before the role of hustler Joe Buck in Oscar's best picture of 1969, "Midnight Cowboy," propelled him to big-screen stardom.
"Each successful series has a set of problems that [its makers have] solved in a unique way, in order for them to produce the show, and I'm very interested by that," Voight reflects. "That's one of the reasons I did '24.' Having watched it, I was intrigued to see how they made it. I wanted to see how they worked it out."

First Photo Of Carrie Underwood In Costume, On Set Of The New SOUND OF MUSIC!
Country music superstar and American Idol winner Carrie Underwood is poised to play one of the most treasured roles in the musical theatre and movie canon, that of Maria Von Trapp in Rodgers & Hammerstein's classic family-friendly musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC and the first shot of Underwood on the set of the upcoming live NBC TV event, in full costume, has now been released by People Magazine.
Underwood has previously been seen only once so far in character, with last month's reveal of the atmospheric poster for the eagerly awaited broadcast, so this new shot is our very first taste of the real thing in action.
Underwood perches atop a camera truck outfitted in a Viennese-styled royal blue dress with a perfectly pressed and starched white blouse in the new still captured on set.
Clearly, Miss Underwood is a Maria fit for a family photo already!
Earlier this week, BroadwayWorld covered a series of Tweets made by the popular recording star relating to THE SOUND OF MUSIC, including Underwood's attendance at similarly the girl-power-fueled Rodgers & Hammerstein musical CINDERELLA, currently on Broadway, as well as her sharing of excitement over ongoing rehearsals. Check out that article here.
Additionally, view BroadwayWorld's previous article on THE SOUND OF MUSIC poster premiere, available here.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC, directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller and Rob Ashford, produced by Craig Zadan & Neil Meron, airs on December 5 at 8 PM on NBC.
Also, see my 2013 InDepth InterView with Zadan & Meron about THE SOUND OF MUSIC and much, much more from earlier this year, available here.
View a larger version of the new shot of Carrie Underwood in THE SOUND OF MUSIC below.

By: Associated Press
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's re-election campaign and prominent Democrats have created a new Women's Equality ballot line for the fall election.
Cuomo's running mate, lieutenant governor candidate Kathy Hochul, announced the third-party ballot line on Thursday in New York City. New York election law allows major party candidates to also run on third-party ballot lines.
The party supports a 10-point women's legislative agenda that includes help for domestic violence victims, tougher human trafficking laws and the codification of federal abortion rights in state law.
It will be up to the new party's organizers to endorse candidates.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Rob Astorino is also seeking to add a new ballot line called the "Stop Common Core" line to attract voters upset with the state's new educational standards.

Ok, here's the deal. Televisions are designed to work with a limited range of RGB numbers; 16-235. This means that anything black is output at 16, and white is at 235 RGB.
Monitors on the other hand are designed to work with the full 8-bit RGB range, which is 0-255. 0 being black, 255 being white.
Internally the PS3 is rendering everything using the full RGB range, 0-255. When you are sending a limited signal, the brightness range is compressed and output as 16-235.
16-235 on a properly calibrated television should look virtually identical to 0-255 on a properly calibrated monitor.
However, newer HDTVs may also support the 0-255 range as well as 16-235, and others that are really just big monitors may only support 0-255. Many of these have DVI instead of HDMI, and often a lot of the cheaper brands will work like this.
If you send a display that is expecting the full 0-255 range the limited output then blacks will look grey and whites will be dulled.
On the other-hand if you send a display that is expecting the limited range (most televisions) the full 0-255 range, you will see a big increase in image contrast, but all of your shadow and highlight detail will become pure black and pure white. As you are overdriving the display (sending 255 when it is expecting to only receive 235) you may also see colour shifts with white objects. (they might be tinted red, for example)
Many people perceive this as "better blacks" however the black level itself will not change. If you have a full black screen up it will look identical.
It's all about using the correct signal type for your display. If your screen is expecting limited RGB, then that is what you should be sending it. If you are using a monitor, or a display that is expecting the full range, then you should be sending that.
If your display supports both, then you are best to use Full RGB. As I mentioned earlier, the PS3 will be rendering internally using 0-255 and then compressing the range to 16-235 for limited. This means that there are only 219 steps of brightness vs 255 so gradations are potentially going to be smoother if you are using full RGB. The "blacks" or colour reproduction should look the same on either setting, the only change is potentially a slightly smoother image.
So how do you find out what your display supports? Well if you're hooked up to a monitor, it's 99% certain that it will be expecting a Full RGB signal.
So how do you know if your TV supports it? TVs generally have a hard cut-off on the 16-235 range, turning anything outside that to pure black / pure white. (eg 15 would be jet black, no matter how high you set brightness)
Make sure your PS3 is set to limited and download this image onto a memory stick, load it up in the PS3 browser etc:
Turn up the brightness control on your display until you can (hopefully) see all four numbers. (1% grey, 2% etc) Assuming you can see all four, adjust brightness to the point where 1 is just about to turn solid black. (if the lowest number you can see is 2, then adjust it until that is almost black)
Now, enable Full RGB. If your screen supports it, you should still be able to read the same numbers. If not, it will turn pure black. However, many TVs that support both won't auto-switch between the two, so you may need to check your TV's menus for a "black level" setting. (may be called something different) If you have that, change it and you should see the numbers pop back up onscreen.
If you can't see the numbers at all when you enable Full RGB and don't have any options that bring them back, you should be using limited. If you can still see them all, you're probably fine using Full RGB.
If you do use Full RGB, check your contrast setting is ok. If it is set too high, you may not be able to see the 99, 98, 97, 96% grey in this image:
Note: Just because you may be able to max out contrast and still see all the numbers does not mean that is the correct setting. This can only tell you if it's clipping highlight detail, not if it's too bright.
"I think people are confused as to what FULL and LIMITED RGB are for - they are NOT to do with Deep Colour and xycc colour.
They are to do with support for legacy RGB DVI displays which support only 0-255 RGB levels and not the broadcast/studio standard of 16-235 RGB levels which almost all HDMI displays should support, and is the levels standard used for DVDs and BluRays.
Many displays will cope with either setting and deliver near identical results - though will need re-calibration depending on which one you chose. If you do not recalibrate, then FULL will appear to have deeper, crushed blacks and thus more saturated colours, and brighter whites. However with correct calibration on a studio level capable display there should be no difference. Additionally Limited levels will allow blacker-than-black and whiter-than-white to be passed through, whereas Full levels can't allow this as anything below 16 or above 235 in studio levels terms is mapped to 0 or 255 in Full (aka PC level terms)
In FULL mode the source - which is 16-235 - is remapped to 0-255 - so blacks which are encoded on the BluRay source at level 16, are not output at 16 and instead reduced to 0. Whites which are encoded on the BluRay source at level 235 are scaled to hit 255. Anything below 16 or above 235 (so called Blacker than Black and Whiter than White information) is clipped in FULL mode - it is NOT passed.
The key thing to understand is that broadcast TV, DVDs, HD-DVDs and BluRay are mastered with black at 16 and White at 235 (whether RGB or YCrCb representation are used - and Cr Cb are 16-240 centred around 127) These are known as studio or broadcast levels - and have a narrower black-to-white range to allow for below-black and above-white excursions to be carried without clipping - which is an important issue when you are mixing analogue and video sources (Transitions can cause spikes in analogue circuitry that will go past black and white levels, if these are clipped, they will cause ringing - i.e. artificial black/white edge distortion - when converted back to analogue.)
The fact that FULL and LIMITED are not simply different ways of displaying a signal with the same range - as you suggest - is clearly visible when you flip between modes - as in FULL mode the black level drops and white level increases. This is NOT what would happen if the switch was simply between passing <16 and >235 or not and keeping black at 16 and white at 235 - you would get no black or white level shift. But you do.
Super White is the option that allows whiter-than-white to be passed - not FULL.
FULL is simply an option Sony added to remap 16-235 studio levels to the older DVI RGB standard (previously uncatered for in PS3) using PC levels of 0-255. It is NOT to do with passing blacker than black or whiter than white - as it clips <16 and >235 levels in the remap process. This is important for projectors and owners of older HDTVs with DVI inputs added for use with PCs rather than video sources.
It is a pity Sony chose FULL and LIMITED as descriptions - as it implies FULL offers better results and LIMITED is somehow inferior. (I'd have thought STUDIO and COMPUTER levels might have been better)"
In another topic on NW, I posted this about it...
I know you're talking about RGB full...
"Dangerous" setting, many HDTVs WILL accept the change, but they crush your blacks.
What does that mean? In areas where you should see various shades of black, for example a shadow, or a corner of a room where you can see some things, but not others, will be JET BLACK. Meaning you can't see any detail at all.
Instead of that corner in the room being dark, but you can still make out a chair, a pot or even a person, with RGB full on a display that doesn't support it you won't see anything - Just completely black.
A good example is with the Warhawk menu that shows when you hover over the icon on the XMB - The one with the plane. Keep your display on limited and look at it, in the corners you can make out other people and planes. Put RGB full on, and if it's crushing your blacks, you won't see any of the details above. It will just be black. I might go do a photo comparison...
I have a Bravia KDL40V3000 and limited range with a PROPER calibrated display works best. Don't just chuck on RGB full and think because your contrast looks deeper, and the XMB looks better, you're actually benefiting.
Take the time to calibrate your TV properly, and you shouldn't need RGB full at all, even if your TV supports it.
RGB full is primarly for MONITORS, not HDTVs, and only a few HDTVs will actually support it without crushing blacks.
Same with the 360's settings, I forget what they all are, standard, intermediate, extended? I keep to standard and just calibrate the display properly.
More "down to earth" explanation of what RGB full may do to your display
Here is some screens to prove it...
Ok just to show what im saying.
Note, my TV has been properly calibrated and NO TV settings are changed in these two photos - The only thing that changes is RGB on, and RGB off.
(sorry for quality in advance, pics taken with my old digi cam for quickness)
^ Limited RGB, notice the detail seen in the darker areas.
^ RBG on, blacks are crushed, meaning less detail can be seen in the darker areas.
Now what a lot of people then end up doing is firing up their contrast/brightness settings with RGB on when they find it hard to see things - Especially in Uncharted, which takes place in the jungle with lots of shadows.
DO NOT do that. Calibrate your TV properly - If anyone wants some help/advice doing that I'll be happy to help out.
The reason im posting this, is it's scary online how many people say/think turning on RGB full is a "quick fix" to make PS3 games look better.
I think there will now be a high population of PS3 owners running RGB full when they shouldn't be.
The best thing you can do is calibrate your TV properly. A properly calibrated TV will look balanced in contrast/colour/brightness and have rich blacks and keep black detail. Use this topic to discuss calibration as well, where to get help, and what settings you use on your TV.
I have a Bravia KDL40V3000, and for anyone else who may, these are the settings I use,
Picture Mode - Cinema
Backlight - 3
Contrast - 88
Brightness - 49
Colour - 58
Colour Temp - Warm2
Sharpness - 15
Everything else off, and everything off in advance menu.
Colour Space - Standard
I also belive this IS the same for the 360's options of standard, intermediate and expanded.
Intermediate/expanded are "artificial" boosts to contrast/brightness that may also result in crushed blacks.
As with the PS3, it's best to stick with standard and calibrate your TV display properly.
Sony should of named it better than "full" and "limited" as that makes people think limited is inferior.
It should've been TV/Monitor, or something to that nature.

Key Facts
Number of Employees: Approximately 700
Welcome to Philip Morris Australia. Established in 1954 and based in Melbourne, we were the first affiliate in the world to produce Philip Morris International brands outside of the United States. As part of Philip Morris International's review of its global manufacturing operations, Australian cigarette production was discontinued and transitioned to the company's Korean affiliate in 2014. As a leading manufacturing affiliate, Korea is equally committed to maintaining and enhancing the quality of tobacco products manufactured for sale in Australia in line with Australian and international standards and regulations. Philip Morris Limited continues to be headquartered in Melbourne and maintains a strong ongoing commercial presence in Australia, employing more than 500 people across the country. Philip Morris Limited remains a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant, a voluntary program to reduce the environmental impact of packaging. We also partner with Terracycle, a company that has developed a recycling solution for previously 'unrecycleable' material, including cigarette waste. In 2014, Terracycle collected more than three million cigarette butts for recycling.
Tobacco products, including cigarettes, are dangerous and addictive. There is overwhelming medical and scientific evidence that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and other serious diseases.
All tobacco products are addictive. It can be very difficult to quit smoking, but this should not deter smokers who want to quit from trying to do so.
Secondhand Smoke
Public health officials have concluded that secondhand smoke from cigarettes causes serious diseases in non-smokers, including lung cancer and heart disease. We believe the public health conclusions on secondhand smoke are sufficient to support smoking restrictions in public places.
Effective Regulation
Philip Morris International (PMI) supports comprehensive regulation of tobacco products based on the principle of harm reduction.
To be effective, tobacco regulatory policy must be evidence-based, apply to all tobacco products, and should take into account the views of all legitimate stakeholders including public health authorities, government finance authorities, tobacco manufacturers, and other members of the tobacco supply chain. Regulatory policy must consider the potential to trigger adverse consequences which undermine public health objectives, such as increasing the demand for illicit cigarettes.
While we support comprehensive, effective tobacco regulation, we do not support regulation that prevents adults from buying and using tobacco products or that imposes unnecessary impediments to the operation of the legitimate tobacco market. In that regard, we oppose measures such as generic packaging, point of sale display bans, total bans on communications to adult consumers, and bans on the use of all ingredients in tobacco products.

Beni Mellal — HM King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, inaugurated, in the Riad Assalam neighborhood in Beni Mellal, the "Mohammed VI Mosque" and performed in it the Friday prayer.
The new mosque, the biggest in the Tadla-Azilal region, was built over a surface area of 18,415 square meters for an amount of over 23 million dirhams, funded by the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs.
The mosque, which can seat 3,000 believers, was constructed in accordance with the Moroccan authentic architecture standards. It includes all services necessary for the believers and the mosque's employees.
The project, whose building works were launched by the sovereign on April 4, 2008, is in line with the state's policy related to the construction of mosques under a program adjusted to meet the needs of believers and ensure a harmonious division of worship sites across the Kingdom.

Search for cause of deadly Indianapolis explosion
"There are houses that will have to be torn down," Deputy Fire Chief Kenny Bacon said.
Bacon said investigators had not eliminated any possible causes for the blast. But U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, who represents the area, said he had been told a bomb or meth lab explosion had been ruled out.
Dan Able, a 58-year-old state employee who lives across the street from the flattened homes, was puzzled by the blast.
"I'm wondering about all the possibilities it could be," he said. "I don't know how a gas leak could do that kind of damage."
"We just don't know" what the cause was, said police spokesman Kendale Adams. "We're working to get to the bottom of it."
Dan Considine, a spokesman for Citizens Energy, said the utility had not received any calls from people in the area smelling the telltale rotten-eggs smell of a chemical added to natural gas, which is odorless.
"Most of the time when there's a gas leak, people smell it," he said. "But not always."
Carson said the National Transportation Safety Board and the federal Department of Transportation, which have oversight over pipelines, were also sending investigators.
Bacon said the toll could have been much worse. "I know we're very fortunate that some of the people weren't home," he said.
Bryan and Trina McClellan were at home with their 23-year-old son, Eric, when the shockwave from the blast a block away knocked out the windows along one side of their house.
Their first instinct was to check on their grandchildren, two toddlers who were in the basement. One held his ears and said, "Loud noise, loud noise."
Eric McClellan said he ran to the scene of the explosion.
"Somebody was trapped inside one of the houses, and the firefighters were trying to get to him. I don't know if he survived," he said, adding that firefighters ordered him to leave the area.
Officials said at least two dozen off-duty police officers who live on the city's south side rushed to the scene to help with the rescue effort.
Once the flames were out, firefighters went through what was left of the neighborhood, one home at a time, in case people had been left behind, Fire Lt. Bonnie Hensley said.
Most evacuees eventually left the school to stay with relatives, friends or at hotels, and the relief operation was moved to a church just a few blocks away. Tables in the church dining room were piled high with blankets, food, diapers, water and other supplies. An animal shelter on the south side of the city offered free boarding for pets whose owners had nowhere to take them.
The church's pastor, the Rev. Rob Hock, said hundreds of members had shown up to help after he put out a call during the morning services. Volunteers were working to be sensitive to the stress on people whose homes had been scarred.
"This is hard on them," he said. "This is not an easy thing for them."

This is a very unique looking item. The candlestick is 5 3/4" in height with a length of 4 1/2" and a width of 3 1/4". The candlestick has a claw foot base with a lion body and a woman's head. This brass candlestick has lots of details. The underside of the base has poured lead. I am not sure if that was from the maker or applied later. This item is a very charming piece. I have removed some candle wax, but some is still remaining. This item weighs 1 lb. 6oz.

text: I don't believe we are in any fundamental disagreement. As I remarked earlier, my original remarks were not directed to just pt/pd printing, but to a wide range of alternative processes, including albumen, salted paper (which were specifically mentioned in the original message that started the thread) and pure palladium. If the target Exposure Scale is 1.3 - 1.6, as in your case, I am certain that HP5+ is perfectly adequate, and I have never suggested otherwise. When the process ES gets over 1.9 TMAX-400 will give much better results in a variety of SBR conditions than HP5+, IMHO.

Geographic Range
Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Cyphotilapia frontosa are found between 5-50 meters in depth. Older individuals inhabit deeper water. Large schools are found 30-50 meters deep with isolated individuals being found shallower, however it is very uncommon to find individuals in shallow waters (Brichard 1989; Axelrod 1993).
Cyphotilapia frontosa is found in coastal waters. They are most commonly found along rocks in water 30-50 meters deep (Brichard 1989; Axelrod 1993).
- Aquatic Biomes
- lakes and ponds
Physical Description
Cyphotilapia frontosa can grow up to 35cm long. Their body shape is deep and rather compressed with a hump on the head which increases with age. The body has broad deep blue and white alternating bands and two lateral lines with an overall light blue flourescent glow. Cyphotilapia frontosa also have two large pectoral fins, long white filamentous ventral fins, and round caudal fins. The mouth is protrusive and large but not especially powerful. The teeth are all very fine and compressed (Brichard 1989; Axelrod 1993)
- Other Physical Features
- bilateral symmetry
Cyphotilapia frontosa is a mouthbrooding fish. It continues to stay in deep waters while releasing its fry, which is unusual for most mouthbrooding fish. Most mouthbrooding fish rise to shallow waters for incubation or to release their fry in order for the fish to receive better oxygenation. However, C. frontosa release their fry about twenty meters deep. This leads to the belief that fry and adults require less oxygen than other mouthbrooders. This is an advantage for the fish, because water twenty meters deep is much less populated than is shallow water. Thus, there are fewer predators to prey upon the fry. Females lay 22 to 25 eggs and incubate their fry until they are close to 25mm long. After release, the fry mix in with the adult schools and breed when they are 20-22 cm long (Brichard 1989; Axelrod 1993).
Cyphotilapia frontosa is primarily a schooling species. They tend to stick to deeper waters. However, lost or isolated members have been found in shallow waters. Adult individuals line up side-by-side and move around slowly in the deep waters. Cyphotilapia frontosa is very difficult to catch alive due to decompression problems. One must take several hours to bring them up to allow for decompression (Brichard 1989; Axelrod 1993).
- Key Behaviors
- natatorial
- motile
Communication and Perception
Food Habits
The diet of Cyphotilapia frontosa is mainly composed of shellfish and smaller fish. However, when kept in an aquarium they will eat almost anything, from vegetable flakes to other fish and insects (Brichard 1989; Axelrod 1993).
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Cyphotilapia frontosa is positive for human economy. These fish are caught very frequently and in large amounts to supply local markets. They are eaten regularly by local populations. If caught alive and kept alive, they may be sold to fish enthusiasts (Brichard 1989; Axelrod 1993).
Conservation Status
- IUCN Red List
Least Concern
More information
Other Comments
This is an excellent fish to keep in a household aquarium. It is very popular amongst fish enthusiasts and very beautiful. If well fed, the fish is very easy to take care of and can become a great pet.

Answer 1
This requires some testing to see what the issue is. I'm not sure why you replaced the cat, but hopefully it wasn't for this issue. I would start with checking fuel pressure. These models have issues with the fuel system, so start there. Or better yet, have a professional look at this so you don't waste your money replacing parts that are not needed. Do you need help finding someone qualified to take car of this for you? - Bret Bodas

San Francisco ATTRACTIONS See all
Perfectly arranged on a secure little bay harbor, Sausalito is undeniably lovely. Named for the "tiny willows" that once populated the banks of its creeks, it's a tiny settlement of pretty houses that tumble neatly down a green hillside into a well-heeled downtown. The town is also renowned for its houseboat community, one of the worlds largest and most diverse, ranging from mansions to hippie hovels, all moored along Richardson Bay.
It's easy to imagine Sausalito as a small seafaring center populated by fisherfolk, as it once was, but there's no denying that Sausalito today is a fiercely fashionable tourist haven, jam-packed with both junkie souvenir shops and costly boutiques. Much of Sausalito affords uninterrupted views of San Francisco and Angel Island and, due to the ridgeline at its back, fog generally bypasses this charmed spot. A coffee, a quick shopping stroll, and a walk along the bayfront makes for a perfect day trip.
Practical Info
To get to Sausalito by car from San Francisco, take the Alexander Avenue exit (the first exit after the Golden Gate Bridge) and follow the signs into Sausalito. There are five municipal parking lots in town. You can also travel by Golden Gate Transit bus, which runs daily to Sausalito from San Francisco. Get out on the water for a fun and easy method for getting to Sausalito. Golden Gate Ferries operate to and from the San Francisco Ferry Building.

Illya TeidemanIntroduce Yourself -
Hi all, I'm a new student at BPP (Reading) jumping in at the operational level after passing AAT. Juggling work study and family life, I'm a hybrid systems and cost accountant looking after Dynamics AX ERP at a small but rapidly growing company in Oxford, I'm helping with the costing of a new cutting edge nanotechnology DNA sequencer product set to revolutionize the world... so that keeps life interesting! I'm a bit worried about the up coming changes to the CIMA syllabus and hoping that the work I'm putting in now won't be in vain once the new structure is unveiled (On Feb 11th). Due to my IT background I'm easing myself in with E1 which has lots of IT stuff in it. A lot of students are doing multiple exams but I'm not sure I have the bandwidth to cope with that. I'd love to hear from people in the same boat or people that have been there done that and have a few pearls of wisdom to enlighten me with!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sparse and poignant,
This review is from: Childhood: A Novel (Paperback)
Childhood by Andre Alexis McClelland & Stewart Inc. 1998
The story follows the life of Thomas MacMillan from early childhood until the death of his mother, Katerina, and Henry Wing, one of his mother's lovers. The main characters are superbly drawn while Thomas remains for us only a wispy image generated by his thoughts.
The love of Henry for Katerina is constant, undemanding and rises above the everyday demands of mere mortals. Katerina, on the other hand moves by her own light and one is never sure if she is capable of loving and one wonders too what has caused this strange disconnectedness.
There are wryly funny sections and clear bright narrative bits that draw the reader in. At the end one realizes that the story is touchingly sentimental while being questioningly honest. I liked the book but had a strange unsatisfied feeling when I was finished. I wanted to know more of Henry, Katerina and Thomas.
4.0 out of 5 stars An Unusual, Disrupted Childhood Re-imagined,
This review is from: Childhood (Paperback)
Andre Alexis' unique journey unites the past and the present in this story of Thomas McMillan, a Trinidadian-Canadian boy left to the care of his grandmother. He is later claimed by his wayward, restless mother whose inability to settle into a long-term romance sees Thomas bouncing around Canada and in tow from suitor to suitor until he and his mother stumble upon the honorable, if eccentric Henry Wing who brings the novel's first and only period of stability.
Alexis' work is well-written and nicely executed although after completing the book I have questions about Katerina (Thomas' mother) that remain unanswered. We never do fully understand why she is the way she is -- strangely and utterly disconnected and cold and unable to fully commit to anyone. The book was a relatively quick read, but it was detailed and lush. We understand Thomas far more by the end of the novel than at any point before.

Alexis presents a well crafted novel that meanders between the past and the present, the truth and illusion. His use of the French language, poetry and allusion is skilled, though at times intimidating. Overall, the honesty and maturity of the novel made for a very delightful, if too short, read.

I found this a very clever book , that weaves the past and present together . The remmbrance of an unusual childhood and how we come to perceive the world through many experienes, is revealed through snpshots of his life. I loved the use of poetry and almost magical quality the writer imparts to his rembering his childhood as an older person.
