How practical would electric vehicles on special toll roads sided with electric coils be?
Hi All,
I have an idea of hybrid vehicles having gasoline engine and electric motors (but without batteries) plying on special toll roads lined by electrically excited coils which will transfer electrical enegry to some coils similarly installed in the vehicles which create the electricity to run the Motor, so can electrically run without need to carry heavy batteries all the way and not limited by a battery pack. and could be used by as many vehicles on roads. and same road could also be used by normal gasoline vehicles. Only need to charge extra for this special vehicles installed with electric motors using electricity provided. When cutting the flux lines created by fixed coils on side of the roads , the coils inside vehicle can create the electrical engery to run the electric motor in theirvehicle.
Kindly tell me any flaws in this plan and could also suggest how to overcome that.
Jan 22 2014: But if we are putting rail track s or powerlines on road itself the vehicles are constrained to that particular track and not free flow of rest of the traffic.
Also i agree that electricity is generated by coal etc... But i heard that gasoline engines are very inefficient after speeding up, most of the energy is used to overcome friction created by engine itself and running its supplementary serivces like oilpump, coolant pump etc. Gasoline is efficient constant heavy loads as per my understanding.
As i expected the prob is that a big health problem of humans cutting fluxed created by coils. and is it workable in wide area as side of road or under the roads to the vehicles...
Already the technology is there as phones can be charged wirelessly.. but in this case phone is not moving. In our situation the vehicle is already moving and it continues like.... CONSIDER THIS LIKE ROAD A STATOR AND VEHICLE AS A ROTOR OF A CEILING FAN. ThankYou, Regards
Jan 22 2014: Electric fields grow exponentially weaker with distance. The advantage a coil would have over a line or rail would be that you could go off road with it for about 5 meters. This in no way makes up for the lower efficiency.
Phones and such are charged wirelessly partially because they consume very little power compared to say, a car. Wasting some power doesn't hurt all that much, because its a little amount either way. With the larger power draw of vehicles, it actually hurts quite a bit.
You either need to have your power supply on you, or connected via a cable. Any other option is problematic.Jan 21 2014: Ok I read over it again and I understand what you are saying now. So the thing you are talkig about is called energy broadcasting. It was origanally theorized by nikola tesla( I have a conversation about this I'm the ideas section) and it has never been conclusively proven in science. If you can make it work, kudos, but you will have a lot of people going for the railroad tracksJan 21 2014: Are you talking about the concept of a rail gun but with a car as a projectile? If so maybe this could work but I agree with nadav. The electrified railroad tracks woulld be easier. Also, you have to ask if he human body could stand that force. I mean a pilot could, but you take a average joe and put him in a rail gun, he might pass outJan 21 2014: Wouldn't it be easier to simply install a set of railroad tracks or power lines in the middle of the road for much the same purpose?
They could be built in a way that still allows normal cars to use the road, but without messing around with wireless power transfer (quite inefficient; also driving through a strong magnetic field fries electronics).
Or better yet, just use a normal road. Let me remind you that most electric power today is coal generated, which in many ways actually pollutes more then the oil your car burns.

I like Camelbak, but...
I have been a Camelbak fan for a long time. I have played with generic reservoirs and they don't hold a candle to the camelbak quality, but I have had trouble with this specific piece. I love the idea and they start out great, but after two failures with the hydrolock I'll avoid it.
After a lot of use one of them began to leak from from the yellow valve. Without much use at all the other piece became completely useless when the yellow valve became so loose that it would just fall out while walking, causing the water to gush out in its place.
The whole concept is to prevent water from coming out when you don't want it to, but I have found that I leak more water with the hydrolock than I do without.

Add a Splash of Color with Momeni Area Rugs
For me there is nothing more appealing than hardwood floors through out a home especially the high traffic areas. The look as well as the low maintenance factor is what really made them worth the money for me. Accessorizing with some great looking area rugs is a great way to soften a decor and to add some color and personality. Momeni offers some beautiful styles in very high quality area rugs to compliment any decor, from traditional to contemporary. My personal favorite is the New Wave collection for its vibrant colors and many size and shape options.

Kids' songs are not the same anymore, and it's kind of creepy…
Remember the songs you sang when you were young? Whatever happened to "Bingo", "Old McDonald", and "If You're Happy And You Know It"? Gone are the days when your little one would sing about cows and wheels on a bus. Now, thanks to the Kidz Bop franchise, children are singing about things that are TOTALLY inappropriate. From stalking to sex, the list of OMG-are-these-kids-really-singing-this is out of this world. Fun Fact: Kidz Bop has produced 44 albums in the last decade! After a lot of "research" listening to jaw-dropping renditions of some of our favorite songs, here are 20 of the most inappropriate. You will never listen to these songs the same way again.
20. Jennifer Lopez – "I'm Real"
First off, the guy trying to sound like Ja Rule is just creepy. But the big issue about this being turned into a children's version is that the song is about a girl craving to have sex.
19. Britney Spears – "Toxic"
Kids singing about being addicted to a guy that's a bad boy. What is wrong with that sentence?
18. Lady Gaga – "Paparazzi"
The freakin' song is about being a stalker.
17. Beyonce – "If I Were A Boy"
Should little girls really be singing about boys cheating on them already? At this age they don't even like boys, so why build on the man-hating so early.

State environmental regulators today denied a request to review a permit for a controversial new cruise terminal in downtown Charleston, an official said.
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control board wont revisit its staffs decision last month, which allows the State Ports Authority to drive pilings at a former warehouse at the north end of Union Pier.
The denial makes the staffs approval the final decision for DHEC.
A group of more than a half dozen neighborhood associations, preservationists and environmentalists filed an appeal days after the Dec. 18 permit decision, claiming the agencys staff failed to look at all impacts of the new terminal.
Opponents can challenge todays boards decision in the state Administrative Law Court.
If the issue goes to court, it adds to other legal challenges about cruise operations in the city, including a state Supreme Court case alleging Carnival Cruise Lines violates city ordinances and nuisance laws. A court-appointed referee days ago recommended the states highest court hear claims that Carnivals local operations could violate city nuisance laws. Circuit Judge Clifton Newman, who heard arguments months ago in the case brought by preservationists, environmentalists and Charleston neighborhood associations, also recommends the panel toss out claims that the company violates local zoning ordinances and state pollution laws.
Earlier this week, an attorney for SPA requested the DHEC board deny the further review and allow the issue to be solved in court.
Dana Beach, executive director of the Coastal Conservation League, has said the opposing groups prefer DHEC board take up the issue, arguing there are some core questions that need to be addressed, Neighborhood associations and the other groups have opposed the new terminal site, saying it will bring more tourists, traffic congestion and fumes to the historic district. They also have raised quality-of-life concerns and called for limits on cruise operations.

St. Thomas
Capital of the Virgin Islands
Within the island chain known as the US Virgin Islands, St. Thomas is home to not only the capital of the region, Charlotte Amalie, but also almost half of the population of all the islands in total.
As a major stop on the cruise ship industry, Charlotte Amalie is a port city that is filled with a number of different things to do. From shopping for great duty free goods, to eating at wonderful local restaurants to exploring the city, there is plenty going on both in and outside of the city.
In order to get to St. Thomas, most arrive via cruise ship or through the Cyril E. King airport, located just a few miles outside the capital.
Beautiful Beaches and Marine Parks
Of course, one of the biggest draws to an island like St. Thomas, is the miles and miles of beaches. One of the most popular beaches has to be Magens Bay which has not only a beach area, but bathrooms and showers, lifeguards and food on site. The beach is a great spot to try out some snorkeling or stand up paddleboarding or simply sit on the beach with a great book.
After a day at the beach, head over to Coral World Ocean Park. The park is more than just a typical aquarium type place, with a variety of exhibits visitors can not only see interesting sea life but learn about them as well. The park also offers interactive events like the Sea Trek.
Learn a Bit of History
Like much of the rest of the Caribbean, St. Thomas has been around for quite a long time, so it offers some really interesting history that can't be found many other places around the world. To visit a historic site on the island, stroll to Blackbeard's Castle, built in the late 1600s originally as a watchtower, it was rumored to be used later by the pirate known as Blackbeard.
Another great way to learn a bit of the history of the island is to take the Paradise Point Skyride. It climbs to the top of Flag Hill and gives an incredible view of the island and surrounding sea.

Mayor wants top-ranked children's hospital in SA
Philadelphia-based hospital looking to create Texas facility
The top-ranked Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is trying to build a similar critical care facility in San Antonio and Mayor Henry Cisneros is one of the plans strongest supporters.
When Cisneros' son, John Paul, was born, doctors gave him some terrible news.
"When John Paul was born, we were told the very first night that there was no chance that he would live," Cisneros said.
Along with his wife, Mary Alice, Cisneros took his infant, born with a heart defect, to the finest surgeon they could find.
Now, John Paul Cisneros, 25, is a "buffed up, strong, athletic young man," and working as an analyst with JP Morgan in New York, his father said.
Cisneros said his son regards Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as "his second birth, his second home," after undergoing surgery there when he was only six-years-old.
Now, the nationally-recognized facility is working with Vanguard Health Systems of Tennessee, which owns the Baptist Health System in San Antonio, on a joint proposal to build a critical care children's hospital in San Antonio.
"Then, arguably we will have the strongest children's complex in Texas," Cisneros said.
The mayor said for now he is staying out of what could be a tug of war, after CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital announced Friday that it will now be called the Children's Hospital of San Antonio.
Still, he said the children of South Texas, and even Mexico, deserve the best medical care possible.
"I can tell you from a personal standpoint, it makes all the difference in the world for families," Cisneros said.

Areas of improvement on your training?
What areas in your training need improvement?
How are you addressing them?
Here we can share what we are currently doing to progress in our training and give feedback to others that might be going through a plateau or share new techniques.
Greater separation of biceps, shoulders..incorporated new combinations of exercises on my supersets when working these bodyparts.
I combine three exercises at a time, one after the other.
For example: 21's + bicep curls *regular + hammer curls.
Shoulders? combination: side lateral + upright row + military press.
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
Shoulders? combination: side lateral + upright row + military press.
this is awesome! i do this one too!
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
My want to be cut/seperated too!! I need to lose BF.
But my main problem is my abs? I lost some weight, then gained it back in my abs. I do cardio 5 days a week 40 min. 3 days, and 80 min. 2 days. But it doesnt go anywhere. It actually came back? HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Is supersets like mentioned above working well for seperation?
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
First of, look at your diet. Second..that is a lot of cardio! I would say, 3-4 days a week is the recommendation made on this site for cardio on a cut. Also the optimal strategy is to have cardio on a separate day than weight training. The less optional strategy is to have a cardio session the same day with AT LEAST 6 hrs in between sessions.
I have used supersets and compound sets. The idea here is to switch training techniques so that you keep on seeing results. So, even if supersets work..I don't use a training strategy more than 6 weeks. I change workouts every month. Every training session is different. *periodization and shocking methods*
Which is a sample workout for you?
Which is your split? *how do you work out bodyparts on your routine*
You need to find what works for your body and there is trial and error involved her.
So, check diet. Check training.

Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
Shoulders? combination: side lateral + upright row + military press.
Hey, that's almost exactly the same thing I do! I like to go military press + upright row + side lateral instead. Sometimes I'll add on face pulls after the side laterals to make it a giant set. You should give it a try next time you do shoulders. It's a real killer!
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
Amazon, this is a great question! Unfortunately I don't have a great answer right now. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
My main goal is to improve my overall symmetry, and there are several aspects of my physique that play into that (delts, lats, glutes, quad sweep, and calves).
In all honesty I'm not doing anything about it right now (!) because I just worked hard to reach a cutting goal, so I'm not quite ready to jump into my bulk. But I will soon, I promise! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
Shoulders? combination: side lateral + upright row + military press.
Hmm... this excites me! How perfect of a triple-set would this be?
Side laterals say x10, then with the same weight do upright rows until failure, then clean the DBs up to your shoulders and press them!
I like it! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
Well, there is more where that came from!
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
I'm TOO hardcore [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] jk, I really need to work on my forearms and seperation in my quads. Triceps need to catch up seriously too, I hav'ent been able to train them in about 6 monthes (triceps tendonitis)
Re: Areas of improvement on your training?
hey amazon, sorry to bother you again but i have a question that is a little off topic. i have my own gym/karate school over here in texas. my clientel basis is about 90% female 10% male. i really enjoy my work, making these ladies feel good about themselves again. i have one parcticular i havent been able to crack. she is 31 years old and here our her numbers when she started; weight 379 bodyfat 52% hydration 35% fatfreemass 181.5 fat mass 197. got her down to 367 bf 51% hyd. 36% ffm 179 fm 188.5. my partner (wife) and i talked her out of gastric bypass, since we have many as clients who are not doing so well with the side effects. she recently went to a quack who was putting her on l-carnitine injections (telling her she will lose the fat at injection sites)- appetite suppresant and t-3's. well needless to say, i talked out of it saying it will not create a metabolic boost. i guess she's desperate. at the monent she is following the zone diet and i have her doing at the monent a 4 day split (legs - back-bicep - full shoulder - chest-tri's) and she does my kickboxing class twice a week. she recently purchased clenbuterol and some more t-3's. i am reluctant as to show her how to supplement/cycle these products, but am afraid she'll get some bad advice and take them anyway. i guess my question is what can i do to help her kick in her metabolism and fire up her fat burning? i hope i a not to much of a bother. sincerely monitor

Despite a problem packed first test at Jerez, Red Bull's four time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel is confident that Renault and his team have resolved the issues that have put him on the back foot with regards to his title defence
Vettel told Sport Bild, "Other teams have driven more miles which is important because everything is so new, but for us it is better to rather have these problems now than later during the races. I hope things go better in Bahrain and that we can run the car at speed and do more laps."
Red Bull were plagued by overheating issues brought about by the tight aero packaging characteristics of the Adrian Newey penned RB10, which is reported to have been heavily revised ahead of the Bahrain test, with references to an 'RB10B' making headlines.
Adding to the World Champion's woes were the technical defects on the Renault V6 turbo powertrain, which afflicted all the Renault powered teams.
Vettel explained, "We must not underestimate the huge challenge of the new Power Units. Everything is still completely new. I believe that both Renault and we have solved the problems experienced at Jerez. But there is no guarantee that there will be no other problems."
Early signs are that Mercedes have done their homework and have a handy 'new era' engine bolted in to the Silver Arrows and their customer teams, a fact that does not escape the reigning World Champion.
"All the Mercedes-powered cars looked very strong in Jerez. But that did not surprise me, because it was already known in advance how much time and work Mercedes has invested in their new powertrain."
Renault's engineering chief Remi Taffin said, "The problems are worse from the outside than they are from the inside. It's a difficult moment but we will get through this."
"We are at least where we would have sought to be for the first test, so maybe now we are three weeks behind, and now we are on a recovery plan," added Taffin.
Formula 1 pre-season testing in Bahrain gets underway on 19 February. (GP247)

This top is great! I have a very hard time finding tops that both support my bigger bust and look good. This is certainly adorable, and I feel supported without feeling like anything is going to become exposed. I wear a 38D and despite being a little bit tight in the lower strap, this fits perfectly. I purchased this in black, but would not have done so if it weren't for the sale price.
Fit: Feels true to size

High School Mathematics Access Program
Inch by Inch
Math is a Cinch;
Yard by Yard
It is Very Hard (r)
Background and Description
The High School Mathematics Access Program (HiMAP) was launched in 1995 at California State University, Stanislaus by Dr. Viji Sundar who continues to direct the program. HiMAP addresses the challenges identified in national statistics that shows students do not pursue mathematics and science classes with the same level of confidence and aptitude as other subjects. HiMAP is a Pre-Collegiate Academic program for students in the University's service area, which includes Stanislaus, San Joaquin, and Merced county areas.
Planning and Objectives
The program involves coaching sessions in mathematics, chemistry, biology, general science and computers; enrichment lessons in mathematics; coaching for SAT 1 and A.P. calculus. The students attend a total of 20-24 sessions per year. The program is designed:
- to coach participants on an ongoing basis to keep them competent and confident in their school mathematic and science classes;
- to show that a college education in within their reach both academically and financially, and
- to acquaint them to possible careers in mathematics, science and engineering with presentations by area professionals whose high school days and family background mirror theirs.
The program acts as a resource, as well as to mentor and guide students while providing the necessary fuel for these young students to pursue and persevere in their school mathematics and science courses.
The program is available to all students in grades 6-12 who attend schools in the University's service area. The program is designed to serve about 100 students each year. Students commute an average of 30 miles round trip to attend HiMAP.
In each of the first two years, (1995-96 and 1996-97), the program received a $5,000 grant from the Tensor Foundation (Mathematical Association of America). This was the seed money originally funded to promote women in math and science. The program currently charges $100 per semester (or $150 for the school year) from each student to cover some basic costs. Dr. Sundar continues to apply for grants on an annual basis.
The effectiveness of the program is monitored through the participants of the program who write their comments at the end of the session regarding specific outcomes from attending the program. Outcomes range from improved grades in math and science in school, to enhanced confidence in the students ability in all subjects. Sustained or increased attendance in the program is another measure of success; the programs initial goal was to get 20 students to attend weekly. The average attendance now is 40 students per week.

Reportedly, we can expect to see a Spider-Man-approved K800i, K750i, K550i and K610i here before long, and SE already has a bevy of minisites, games, and hints of the movie all across its web portals. Furthermore, the "special edition" handsets should come pre-loaded with a trio of "exclusive Spider-Man wallpapers" along with a web-slinging screensaver to boot. To top it off, you can definitely enhance your level of geekness by carrying the mobile in a Spidey-clad hard case (complete with wrist strap, even). No word on when these will hit the mainstream, but judging by the sheer amount advertising going on at SE, we can't imagine it being too far off.

(update below)
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) continued its challenge against the CIA's withholding of information on the agency's use of drones to carry out "targeted killings." As part of an ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, an appeal was filed on March 15.
The ACLU's appeal argues the case centers on whether it is lawful for the CIA to "refuse to confirm or deny the existence of records about a program that has already been acknowledged and discussed by the President, the then-CIA director and many other government officials in scores of public statements." In this instance, the court has allowed the CIA to give what is called a Glomar response and "neither confirm or deny" the records exist.
It further explains:
This Court has allowed a Glomar response only where an agency's disclosing the existence or non-existence of responsive records would itself disclose information that the agency may lawfully withhold under an enumerated exemption to the FOIA. It has repeatedly emphasized that a Glomar response is inappropriate where the government has officially acknowledged the very information sought to be protected. The government has already acknowledged the existence of the CIA's drone program. The CIA cannot lawfully refuse to process Plaintiffs' request on the grounds that doing so would require it to confirm what it has already confirmed. Indeed, upholding the CIA's Glomar response here would serve only to harness the Court's institutional authority to a transparent fiction. Anyone who has followed the debate about the CIA's drone program knows that the program has been discussed on the record not only by the President and the then-CIA Director but by many other officials as well, and it is plain that any harm to the nation's security that would result from disclosure of the program has already been inflicted by the Agency itself. Unsurprisingly, many commentators have already observed (and lamented) the increasing chasm between the categorical proposition the CIA advances in this litigation—that the very existence of the Agency's drone program is a secret—and the numerous, detailed, and often self-serving statements the government has made about the program in other fora. The Glomar doctrine surely does not permit the government to play this kind of double game, still less to enlist the judiciary as a participant in it. [emphasis added]
The appeal notes the US government's escalated use of drones for lethal strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Government officials have been more than wiling to celebrate the "successes" and "legality" of the strikes but have not been transparent. They've been willing to publicly push aside concerns over civilian casualties caused by the strikes. They have selectively leaked information but fought to prevent disclosures of key information that could give the public a full understanding of the US government's employment of drones for executions of terror suspects and other individuals without charges.
The ACLU believes through a FOIA request details concerning "the putative legal basis for carrying out targeted killings; any restrictions on those who may be targeted; any civilian casualties; any geographic limits on the program; the number of targeted killings that the agency has carried out; and the training, supervision, oversight, or discipline of drone operators" will all be revealed. And, civil liberties group find knowing that information is essential to the public's ability to assess the "wisdom and lawfulness of the CIA's drone program."
The CIA's drone program is a Frankenstein creation of the Executive Branch of the US government. It's ability to continue to evolve and grow depends on secrecy and the kind of selective leaking that officials use to build support for aspects of the program that they think should make it hard to challenge the existence of the program. However, it is this selective leaking that should make it impossible for a judge to let the CIA keep records from seeing the light of day.
On February 24, the Washington Post published details of a top secret diplomatic cable that was leaked by senior government officials. It featured the warnings of US Ambassador to Afghanistan Ryan Crocker on the "persistence of enemy havens in Pakistan." The havens, which is what drone strikes would target, were briefly described. The details indicated the CIA was trying to take out another "mujahheddin fighter" it had once empowered when it backed "mujaheddin fighters" in the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s. A son of this fighter, the Post reported, has a $5 million bounty on his head and he is using a "prominent religious school" as a base. The CIA is afraid to strike because of possible civilian casualties.
This was selective leaking at its finest. The leaking was done to build up public understanding and even support for ongoing covert and military action in Pakistan. And, it also revealed details on enemy targets that if leaked by anyone other than unnamed government officials would have likely produced a major government investigation into the leak.
The CIA may not want to reveal details on the enemies its drones are targeting, and it may not want to show how it is employing lethal force to kill terror suspects without charge but government officials have talked about the program. It isn't entirely covert anymore. On top of that, the definition of "due process" is being rewritten by the Justice Department in the same insidious way that the Bush Administration worked to rewrite the definition of "torture."
As former Guantanamo chief prosecutor Morris Davis put it on Al Jazeera English's "Inside Story":
I think what we are sanctioning here is murder. We're sending drones overseas. The president has no authority in Yemen. I mean, the president's authority extends to the US its territories and its possessions. But to authorise a civilian agency, the CIA, to go to Yemen with drones, fire a missile and kill American citizens is just breathtaking, I think, to a lot of us.
The Justice Department is advancing a wholesale reinterpretation of international and domestic law that allows for the sanctioning of murder. And, if the fact that government leaks like a sieve isn't enough to force the CIA to disclose records, the unraveling of decades of legal understanding of due process should be more than enough to require the CIA to show why it is so essential to America to have a program for executing people without charges abroad.
The National Security Archive has directed my attention to a section of their post on Holder's speech that suggested Anwar Al-Awlaki, who was targeted and killed in Yemen, was not named to preserve Glomar.
Holder mentioned Osama bin Laden, John Walker Lindh, Richard Reid, Zacarias Moussaoui, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, Fazizal Shahzad, Ahmed Ghailani, Daniel Boyd, and Michael Finton. Conspicuously, he did not mention the "targeted killing" of Anwar al-Awlaki. Probably because if the US government acknowledged the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki –rather than than anonymously leaking it to the press– it would be forced to admit to FOIA requesters (see below) that an Office of Legal Council memorandum justifying his "targeted killings" exists [italics not added]

The bearded face (Bartmann) is the classic decoration on the necks of German stoneware jugs from Cologne and Frechen in the 1500s and 1600s. Its origin is possibly from the mythical figure of the 'Wild Man', which was common in Northern European folklore in the 1300s – 1500s. Wild men were supposed to inhabit remote areas like mountains and forests and they appear in tapestries, illuminated manuscripts and the architecture of the time.
Today, these types of jugs with the bearded faces are often called 'Bellarmines'. The first mention of this name for the jugs is in William Cartwright's comedy of 1634, The Ordinary. Popular tradition suggests that the name comes from Cardinal Roberto Bellarmino (1542-1621), who preached against Protestantism in North Germany and the Low Countries. Dutch stoneware dealers and English buyers may have nicknamed the jugs 'Bellarmines' as a joke about him.

BMW M5 Pickup: The Ultimate Tool For The Everyman
Why limit the BMW M5 to fast families? Let's make it available as a utilitarian work tool, too…
Drive by any building site and you'll spot an abundance of pickup trucks, vans and clapped out estates, which are brimmed with bricks, piled full of power tools and caked in carcinogenic crap.
Trouble is, when the working week is out, it's exactly these motors that lay dormant while Dave, Steve and Barry switch to their expensive weekend wheels for B-road blasts and trips to the in-laws.
As you've probably guessed, CT is here for you. And because it's the season of downsizing, we've created the ultimate one vehicle for all tasks; introducing the BMW M5 pickup truck.
It makes sense. Vauxhall does it with its two-fingers-in-the-sky Maloo pickup, so let's spice up the market with some BMW brutality. Remember, the Maloo is a 6.2-litre V8 rear-drive monster that'll punish 60mph in 4.9sec before topping out at a limited 155mph.
Based on the current BMW M5, the limited edition pickup version (just 150 units worldwide) will prove a worthy (and domineering) adversary to the Maloo. At the front of the M5 pickup lies the same 542bhp, 4.4-litre V8 unit, which powers the rear rubbers via a 7-spd DCT gearbox. A six-speed manual 'box will be available for the manliest of men, unlike the current saloon version.
The Important Changes
While the M5 pickup retains the same 4910mm length and 1891mm width, substantial changes are made to the rear suspension, including stiffer springs, uprated dampers and thicker anti-roll bars. Why? This is an M5 that has a rear load carrying capacity of 550kg (1213lbs) and room enough for 26 golf bags. A trailer tow hitch naturally features at the rear, and wide 20-inch ContiSportContact 5P tyres come as standard.
With the absence of the saloon silhouette and despite strengthening beams, metal-tread cladding and a bolt-down tool chest (£1300 option), the M5 pickup tips the scales at 1890kg (4167lbs) some 55kg under the current super-saloon model.
A removable Targa roof reduces weight further by 23kg and lowers the model's centre of gravity. In its lightest form (roof removed and tool chest unbolted) the derestricted M5 pickup will reach 194mph. 0-62mph is dispatched in 4.3sec (like the standard car), while its increased drag coefficient increases CO2 emissions slightly from 232g/km to 246g/km CO2.
The M5 pickup's two-passenger cabin features the same equipment as the standard model, but also includes a carbonfibre commemorative badge on the dashboard, and dual-purpose floor mats, which can be flipped over to reveal easy-wipe rubber for work days on site.
Like the Vauxhall Maloo, the BMW M5 pickup would be priced with a small premium of around £4500, with prices starting from £77,565 for the manual version and £79,145 for the 7-spd DCT model.
Now you've heard our business plan, what do you think? We'll let BMW know either way.

Lee Seung Gi talked about his experience of '1 Night 2 Days'.
Recently, Lee Seung Gi talked about appearing on entertainment shows during a recently held interview with magazine '@star1'.
Lee Seung Gi chose '1 Night 2 Days' as the hardest entertainment show that he ever appeared on.
He continued "It's same as all other programs, but members of '1 Night 2 Days' had to bear even more responsibility. Everybody watched it!"
He also said, "There were so many abrupt variables as well. I had to be an all-rounded person in the show."
He added, "I watch the new '1 Night 2 Days' often. The program changed to something totally different. But, I think it was harsher when I was appearing on the show."
On the other hand, the full interview can be viewed on January edition of '@star1'.

Review: 'Downton' makes compelling return

How excited is PBS about the second season of its Emmy-winning Downton Abbey? So excited that even Laura Linney seems on the verge of breaking into uncharacteristic fits of giggles in her introduction to the Masterpiece Classic miniseries, launching Sunday night.
For the most part, the excitement is justified. And it says a lot about how well the characters are drawn and how much affection we feel for them that even though writer/creator Julian Fellowes allows the series to wobble off the rails a few episodes in, we still react with warmth and perhaps a few tears for these dear people.
Actually, the first two or three episodes of the new season are magnificent - better than all of the first year of the show. The story of the Crawley family of minor nobles, trying to cope with the archaic law that restricts who may inherit the family manse and title, continues with the outbreak of World War I in the opening episode. Despite the family's initial reservations about the designated heir, cousin Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens), they've accepted him into the family. Mary (Michelle Dockery), the eldest daughter of Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham (Hugh Bonneville), and his American-born wife, Cora (Elizabeth McGovern), embraced Matthew, but that relationship has fractured. As the second season begins, they are working on just being friends.
Both above and below stairs, the Crawleys and their staff try to keep things just as they were before war broke out. Although Downton has an Upstairs Downstairs household structure, what links all the characters is a shared determination to survive whatever comes their way. The noble major domo Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) and housemaid Anna (Joanne Froggatt) rely on their growing love to get them through. Before they can marry, however, Bates has to persuade his estranged but manipulative wife to grant him a divorce. Among the Crawleys themselves, Mary has to cope with her unresolved feelings for Matthew, especially when she learns he's engaged to someone else.
But by far the biggest challenge for both parts of the household is the war itself. Below stairs, Mr. Carson (Jim Carter) and Mrs. Hughes (Phyllis Logan) keep the household operating despite food shortages and losing staff members to the army. Upstairs, the Crawleys and Matthew's do-gooder mother, Isobel (Penelope Wilton), must adjust to their home being turned into a hospital for wounded officers. Isobel relishes the notion of being in charge of the officers' care, but the military, not to mention Lady Cora, have other ideas about that.
By adding more depth and nuance to the characters, Fellowes has not only made the early episodes absolutely gripping, he manages to keep our interest despite a noticeable shift midway through the new season. Plot twists and character shifts are tossed in rather randomly, almost as if Fellowes doesn't entirely trust his characters. No sooner has one character mentioned in passing that things might be better if another were dead than the second character buys the farm. That's called telegraphing, and it doesn't really belong in Fellowes' script. Perhaps the most egregious move is to have another character, presumed dead, suddenly turn up again, bandaged like Boris Karloff in The Mummy, making him unrecognizable to the household. This is the kind of thing one would expect from a daytime soap opera.
For the most part, the performances are superb, with the slight exception of Jessica Brown Findlay as the Crawleys' youngest daughter, Lady Sybil. Charming as she makes her character, Findlay isn't quite in the same league as Bonneville, McGovern, Wilton, Stevens, Logan, Carter, Froggatt and Coyle. Once again, however, the most delicious performance is effortlessly delivered by Maggie Smith as Robert's meddling mother.
If there was a flaw in the first season, it was only that Smith wasn't given more screen time. She's much more in evidence in the second year to remind us of what great acting is all about.
Obviously, the entire Downton enterprise has been conceived and executed with a collective eye toward quality. But it's hardly the only Masterpiece offering made this well. So what is it that sets it apart, what is it that makes it arguably as good as Upstairs Downstairs?
It's really rather simple: Almost all of these people are trying only to do their best in life, against all odds, large and small. We believe them, we identify with them, and we care about them. The emotional authenticity of Downton Abbey continues to make it a classic.

Happy Monday everybody! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Today I thought I would share with you a great fall classic. With thanksgiving just around the corner, serve this as a side dish that will warm you up and tantalize your taste buds.
I never tried basil before with this recipe. I really enjoy the punch that the basil gave. Let me know what you think!
- 5 Medium Carrots
- 1 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1 Tsp. Cornstarch
- 1/4 Tsp. Salt
- 1/4 Tsp. Ginger
- 1/8 Tsp. Cinnamon
- 1 Tsp. Basil
- 1/4 Cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 Tbsp. Butter
- Cut carrots however you prefer.
- Boil in water for about 10 minutes or until almost tender.
- Meanwhile combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, basil, cinnamon and ginger in a small saucepan.
- Add orange juice; cook, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly.
- Boil 1 minute. Add butter.
- Pour over drained carrots.
- Toss and serve.
Zesty Tip: When cooking any root vegetable that you will later add a sauce too – make sure to slightly under cook your vegetables as they will continue to cook in the sauce. To stop the cooking process after boiling them or steaming them – you can shock them in ice water.
I hope everyone has a great Monday!
Take care

Duke, UNC to host NCAA women's tournament 1st, 2nd rounds
The NCAA on Wednesday named Duke and North Carolina among 16 host sites for its 2014 NCAA women's basketball tournament first and second round games.
The first- and second-round sites will host games either Saturday, March 22, and Monday, March 24 or Sunday, March 23, and Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Specific site dates will be released later.
Duke will host the first and second rounds for the second straight year and the fourth time over the last five years. The Blue Devils are riding an 18-game winning streak in NCAA Tournament games played in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Duke owns an all-time record of 20-2 in NCAA Tournament games played at home and has hosted games in Cameron 11 times out of 19 appearances.
UNC has not hosted an NCAA Tournament game since the 2011-12 season. The Tar Heels did not advance to the NCAA field that season and did not play in the tournament.
Other host sites named Wednesday were Ames, Iowa (Iowa State); Baton Rouge, La. (LSU); College Park, Md. (Maryland); College Station, Texas (Texas A&M); Iowa City, Iowa (Iowa); Knoxville, Tenn. (Tennessee); Lexington, Ky. (Kentucky); Los Angeles, Calif. (UCLA); Seattle, Wash. (Washington); Storrs, Conn. (UConn); Toledo, Ohio (Toledo); University Park, Penn. (Penn State); Waco, Texas (Baylor); and West Lafayette, Ind. (Purdue).
Regional sites named Wednesday were Lincoln, Neb. (Nebraska); Louisville, Ky. (Louisville); Notre Dame, Ind. (Notre Dame), and Stanford, Calif. (Stanford).
Duke is coming off records of 33-3 overall and 17-1in ACC play last season, when the Blue Devils advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight year and won the ACC Championship.
Head coach Joanne P. McCallie and the Blue Devils return all five starters in 2013-14, including 93.7 percent of their scoring. Along with returning All-America selections Chelsea Gray and Elizabeth Williams, Duke welcomes back All-ACC performers Tricia Liston and Haley Peters. Freshman All-America and ACC Tournament MVP Alexis Jones is the final returning starter for Duke.
Coach Sylvia Hatchell's Tar Heels welcome a four-woman rookie class that made up the nation's top-ranked high school recruiting class.
"They're learning a lot right now which is expected, but once in a while you see them do something and you just say 'wow,'" said Hatchell recently. "On the other hand, the group we have returning is the best they've ever been because they're healthy for the first time."
The Tar Heels finished 29-7 a year ago, losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Delaware.
NOTES — Regional champions will advance to the 2014 NCAA Women's Final Four April 6 and 8 in Nashville, Tenn.'s Bridgestone Arena.

Hi all!
I've hung 3 pictures in a row above my sofa (not too high - right where they belong!) Each picture is approx 25" x 35" to the outside frame.
I have 9 foot ceilings and my concern is that perhaps I either need larger pictures, or perhaps another row of 3 pictures above?
It doesn't look bad, but there is a fair amount of 'empty' space above these pics.
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks :)

Roger Helmer: Peak Oil or false summit?
Posted: March 21, 2013|
The doomsters have spoken. We're facing "peak oil" – a point of maximum production, followed by an inexorable decline, when oil prices will skyrocket, and petrol and diesel cars will rust by the road-side.
In 1922, a US federal commission predicted that "production of oil cannot long maintain its present rate".
Back in the sixties, Professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University said that by the 70s, hundreds of millions would starve. He predicted that "within ten years" all major life in the seas would be gone.
By 1985, mankind would enter an age of scarcity, as resources were depleted. By 1999, the population of the US would drop to 22 million. Oh, and by the way, we'd run out of oil.
A good rebuttal of all this nonsense comes from Matt Ridley's "The Rational Optimist".
He points out that when resources run short, or become more expensive, we find more. Or we find alternatives. Or we find totally new technologies.
Of course, the amount of fossil fuels in the world is finite. No question. But it is also rather bigger than we imagine.
Currently, the American economy is being transformed by low-cost shale gas.
America's industrial renaissance poses a real threat to European competitiveness, as we agonise over our green credentials and ignore energy prices and security of supply.
In fact, the USA could well be self-sufficient in energy by 2030, and may by then be the world's biggest oil producer, ahead of Saudi Arabia.
Where there's shale gas, there is frequently oil as well. This is a geo-political game-changer. The US may be less enthusiastic about keeping the peace in the Middle East, and defending the straits of Hormuz, when it doesn't need Saudi oil. Europe should take note.
Some estimates in the UK suggest we may have gas reserves for 1,000 years – and there may be oil here as well.
In the eastern Mediterranean, major new oil and gas fields are being discovered. We may see some jockeying between Greece, Italy, Cyprus – and especially between Israel and the Palestinians – but either way, there's a lot more oil and gas about than we realised.
We have fossil fuel availability for the foreseeable future.
There are also 1,200 new coal-fired power stations in the global pipeline. So if you think that continuing carbon dioxide emissions will lead to a calamity for the human race, despair now.
On the other hand, you may prefer to wake up and smell the coffee.

Keeneland: Data Link surges late to upset Maker's 46 Mile
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Data Link got a perfectly timed ride from Alex Solis when notching the first stakes victory of his career in posting a 12-1 upset in the 24th running of the Grade 1, $300,000 Maker's 46 Mile on a seasonal Friday afternoon at Keeneland.
Trained by Shug McGaughey for breeder-owner Stuart Janney III, Data Link was up in the final strides to nail Turallure, the 7-5 favorite, by a neck on the wire. Doubles Partner was just a half-length back in the field of six older turf runners, while Get Stormy, the pacesetter and 9-5 favorite, was another neck back in fourth.
Data Link had won four of his nine prior starts while earning a check but failing to win in two stakes attempts. He returned $27.20 after finishing in 1:34.31 over firm turf.
"I've kind of had this in my mind at Gulfstream, and after his last race, Alex said 'That's fine,' " said McGaughey, the Hall of Fame trainer and Kentucky native who was a force here in the early 1980s before moving to New York. "When they got to the quarter pole and I saw where he was, I thought he had a chance. I thought he would kick, and he did."
Before an ontrack crowd of 19,730, Get Stormy set fractions of 23.05 seconds, 47.02, and 1:11.21 and actually had a clear lead approaching the eighth pole before the others came calling. Turallure, ridden by Julien Leparoux when making his first start since being beaten in a tight photo in the $3 million Breeders' Cup Mile in early November, appeared to have the race won when surging past Get Stormy as Doubles Partner also was making steady headway closest to the rail. But it was the late surge from the outside by Data Link that got the $180,000 first prize.
"Around the half-mile pole I saw where Julien was on the favorite, and I thought we would track him," Solis said. "At the quarter-mile pole, he was in a good position, and he did his thing."
After the top four came Pressday and Hollinger. Big Blue Kitten was an early scratch.
The $2 exacta (7-6) paid $85.20, the $1 trifecta (7-6-1) was worth $139.10, and the dime superfecta (7-6-1-5) paid $23.98.
Leparoux cost himself the race making sure Castellano couldn't get out and make a run. Payback for the Florida Derby but it backfired on Leparoux. Then Doubles Partner has to check behind a tiring Get Stormy. A poor ride from Castellano all the way. Doubles Partner next time for sure.

By Tim HippsSpecial to American Forces Press Service
ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 16, 2004 Army Spc. Hattie Johnson opened and closed her Olympic 10-meter air rifle competition with a bang Aug. 14, but she failed to reach the final of the first medal event in the 2004 Summer Olympic Games here.
"My hardest shots were my first shot and my last shot," said Johnson, who finished in a five-way tie for 14th place among 44 competitors. "My hand was shaking and I put the gun up and down a few times, but I thought to myself: 'This isn't going to happen to me because I'm nervous. I'm going to hold it all together and I'm going to shoot a 10.' "
Johnson did just that on her first and final of 40 shots and scored 394 of 400 possible points in the qualification round at Markopoulo Olympic Shooting Centre.
"After I shot my first shot, it was like a huge weight was lifted right off of me, and I was like, 'OK, let's shoot.'" Johnson said. "Of course I would've loved to make the final, but overall I had a very good performance for me. This is the highest international score that I have shot. For me, I succeeded."
China's Li Du, who tallied 398 points in the qualification round, won the first gold medal with 502 points. Russia's Lioubov Galkina, who shot an Olympic- record 399 in qualifications, won the silver medal with 501.5 points. Czech Republic's Katerina Kurkova took the bronze.
Johnson, 22, a medic with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, said she left all she had on the range.
"When I finished shooting, I was exhausted," she said. "Every body part felt like it was sore and hurt. I had a great performance for myself mentally and physically."
For Johnson, a benefit of competing in the opening event is getting to spend the remainder of her stay in Greece with her No. 1 fan, father Jeff Ponti, who came from her hometown, Athol, Idaho, to watch her compete abroad for the first time.
"You have no idea how proud I am. It's just incredible," Ponti said. "How she finished is irrelevant to me. Just her getting here is absolutely unbelievable."
Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Elizabeth "Libby" Callahan didn't have an easy time in the air pistol competition either.
Callahan finished tied for 30th in women's 10-meter air pistol shooting Aug. 15. She scored 89 of 100 possible points on her first 10 shots, one of only five sub-90-point series shot by 41 competitors in the qualification round. She rebounded with series of 98, 95 and 92, but the damage was done.
Three-time Olympian Callahan, selected by her peers as captain of the United States shooting team here, finished with 374 points in the qualification round and did not advance to the final. She shot well midway through the match but closed with several 8s that added to her rough morning.
"I'm just not pleased at all with my performance," she said.
Callahan, a retired Washington, D.C., metropolitan police officer, will compete Aug. 18 in women's 25-meter sport pistol, the stronger of her two events.
As team captain, Callahan, 52, of Upper Marlboro, Md., had the honor of marching in the front row of Team USA's athletes during the Opening Ceremony at Olympic Stadium Aug. 13.
"It's a very proud moment for the U.S. to march in as a team like we did," she said. "We got a very warm reception from the fans in the stadium. You just get goose bumps going in. There's a lot of electricity in the air. To me, it's something I will never forget." Callahan also competed in the 1992 Barcelona Games and 1996 Atlanta Games.
