DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Newt Gingrich blamed a poor showing in the Iowa caucuses on his rivals' attack ads and seemed to conclude that turnabout is fair play as he pressed on with a new aggressive stance against front-runner Mitt Romney.
After criticizing Romney for running a negative campaign and promising to stay positive, Gingrich appeared before supporters to criticize the former Massachusetts governor as someone who couldn't bring change to Washington. He also planned to run television ads against Romney in the next three states to vote — New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida.
The former House speaker called Romney a "Massachusetts moderate who, in fact, is pretty good at managing the decay." He said the ex-governor has "given no evidence in his years in Massachusetts of any ability to change the culture or change the political structure."
Gingrich's turnabout in strategy came as he was running fourth in returns from the nation's first Republican presidential nominating contest, after he led polls in the state just a few weeks ago. But Gingrich said he does not foresee the GOP race ending anytime soon.
"One of the things that became obvious in the last few weeks in Iowa is that there will be a great debate in the Republican Party before we are ready to have a great debate with Barack Obama," he said.
Gingrich congratulated two other contenders, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, for strong showings ahead of him but emphasized he will air contrasts between himself and Romney. He praised Santorum, who was running neck and neck with Romney to win the caucuses, for running a "great, positive" campaign. And while he praised Paul he warned his foreign policy was dangerous.
Earlier Tuesday, Gingrich vowed to fight on and said the negative ads against him, many run by a political action committee backing Romney, had taken a toll. Gingrich told The Associated Press while grabbing a snack at his hotel coffee shop that he just needed a little more time to reach out to voters and rebuild the lead he once held but that evaporated in a barrage of attack ads.
"We needed two more weeks," he said.
Gingrich's planned a full-page ad in the New Hampshire Union Leader that was to appear as he touched down in the state early Wednesday. It labels Gingrich a "Bold Reagan Conservative" and Romney a "Timid Massachusetts Moderate."
At least one pro-Gingrich super PAC also was getting into the mix.
"We definitely plan to engage," said Rick Tyler, a former longtime Gingrich aide now working for the pro-Gingrich super PAC Winning our Future. "I think that Newt has signaled a communications shift in which he wants to define Romney and to draw a contrast between his record and Romney's."
Tyler declined to be specific about the group's plans. The independent political action committees are banned by law from coordinating with the candidates they are supporting.
A key question is whether Gingrich will have the cash to wage an effective assault. A spokesman said he'd raised roughly $9 million in the last three months of the year but that he would spend most of it to compete in Iowa. It is also unclear how much money the pro-Gingrich PACs have raised.
Gingrich said it is not negative "to accurately describe someone's record."
"He doesn't tell the truth," Gingrich said.

Newt or Ron Paul are the only two I consider voting for, never Rommney. He is not a true-blood conservative and Obama will tear him to pieces. The people won't to overhaul the system, not put more band-aids on it, like Rommney will do. He is a "pretty boy" establishment candidate that only tells you what you want to hear, just like Obama did. This country will be so sorry. Hope Ron Paul decides to run as Independent if he loses the GOP nomination, which seems to already be decided by a political establishment. The three-aprtry system is being pushed into existence slowly but surely. We need more choices than the two party system that contols us all instead of the other way around.

A relatively small snare with plenty of power and subtlety.
Classic in style and performance, this uniquely sized Mapex Black Panther Cherry Bomb Snare Drum is as distinctive to the ear as it is to the eye. It features a 5.1mm cherry wood shell.
Each Mapex snare drum features handbuilt and hand-finished Black Panther shells and completely redesigned hardware. From the fresh, sculpted lug design to the smart new badge, Black Panther snares are now more beautiful than ever.
Black Panther hardware
The cylinder-drive strainer uses a self-lubricating bearing to ensure smooth operation while providing minute control of the snare tension. Mapex's piston-style throw-off is incredibly smooth and requires minimal effort to operate, and the adjustment dial employs micro-lock technology that provides a tactile click as it's turned, allowing precise control.
Sonic Saver Hoop
The Sonic Saver Hoop bridges the gap between flanged hoops and die-cast hoops. A unique shaping process creates a profile that reduces wear and tear to both sticks and hands while dramatically enhancing the response and feel of every rimshot.
The Sonic Saver is significantly lighter than a conventional die-cast hoop, so it won't choke the shell's vibration. The result is a more natural percussive sound with much greater resonance.
This Mapex Black Panther snare drum features stainless steel snare wires for crisp, lively action, and premium Remo drum heads, including a coated Ambassador batter head.
Black Panther works every time. Order today.

Comments about Mapex Black Panther Cherry Bomb Snare Drum:
Wow, I got this snare today and it is really impressive. It has a really powerful crack with a short decay. Check out the sound clips in Youtube.com to hear for yourself, I am not sure how it fits in with the sound of my Tama Starclassic maple set but it is definately a keeper. I was a little worried about the finish especially since it is made in China, but it looks really good. It has a flawless glossy cherry finish. I only wish it had a unique badge identifying it as a Cherry Bomb snare instead of the generic Black Panther badge. The shell is made of Cherry. Visually it is on the thin side.I am not sure of the number of plys but I would guess it is about 5 mm in total. The throw off is very unique and works well. The only thing I don't care for is the lugs. In my opinion they are not as refined as the Tama and Pearl Lugs so I deducted 1 star. For example I wasn't able to finger tight them so I had to guess at the starting position using a drum key. Having a drum dial was helpful in this situation. Definately check it out. If Sonor would have made this it would probably cost $1,000! Hopefully another company comes out with a cherry snare so we have something to benchmark it against.

By supporting the Circles of influence campaign, you are helping to offer life-changing opportunities and experiences to talented students from a wide variety of social and cultural backgrounds. Our student support covers each stage of the student journey - from application, to study, to employability. Sir Dominic Cadbury, Chancellor and donor "Knowing that your support has a direct impact on the lives of individual students is tremendously rewarding. That is why I continue to support the A2B programme, as well as the new Gateway Internships" Together we have... Thanks to your generosity, we have established the Access to Birmingham (A2B) scheme as one of the leading widening participation schemes in the U.K. Together we have changed the lives of hundreds of students, who have directly, profoundly, and immediately benefited from the generosity of our donors. Right now, there are recent Birmingham graduates starting rewarding careers after succeeding in their studies. Without your help, many would never have had this opportunity. Together we are... We are seeking your support for: the Academic Enrichment Programme, which works with year 12 students throughout the region and encourages educational progress to university; the Access to Birmingham scheme, a sector-leading widening participation scheme that provides financial support to talented but disadvantaged young people; Birmingham Internships, which encourage and enable students to develop their employability skills by undertaking exciting and worthwhile work experiences; and Cultural Internships, which will develop the cultural leaders of tomorrow and tackle the skills shortage in the cultural sector.

With your support we will ensure that the Birmingham graduate of the future is a high-achieving, world-aware, experienced, motivated, distinguished, highly-skilled and employable individual. To provide a life-changing opportunity, give today. Read more about our proud history of supporting disadvantaged students... Birmingham was founded on the belief that university education should be available to those who could benefit most. Supporting disadvantaged but talented young people from Birmingham and the Midlands to attend university has guided our principles and activities for over a century. When Josiah Mason – industrialist and philanthropist –established Mason Science College (the nucleus of our later University) in 1875, he did so intent upon providing education on "terms which render it easily available by persons of all classes". When the University was granted a Royal Charter in 1900 it was established "to educate the sons of the working class". By 1910, 20 grants were available specifically for "poor" Birmingham students, albeit awarded on the basis of academic calibre and merit, a principle that continues today through our Access to Birmingham Scholarship. By the start of the 1930s, more than half of the University's student body were from maintained schools, compared with less than a quarter at Oxford and Cambridge, as Birmingham was at the vanguard of social inclusion in higher education. The Vice-Chancellor, Sir Charles Grant Robertson, noted that the vast majority of Birmingham's students were from working families, and that "many of them only complete their course by continuous self-sacrifice both on their part and that of their parents." The support of scholarships was of utmost importance. By 1937, Grant Robertson could state that "with our entrance scholarship, I doubt whether there is really a boy or girl in the Midlands, qualified to benefit from a university education, who is excluded by poverty from getting it". A Charles Grant Robertson Scholarship still exists in our Department of English. Today, we continue our efforts to reduce the financial obstacles which might defeat many would-be students. We were one of the first universities to set up a fair access scheme for local students and, with three other local university colleges, we recently launched a pioneering Birmingham and Solihull Aimhigher partnership to motivate and inspire a new generation of young people from the West Midlands to experience higher education. We continue to encourage and enable young people from the city and region of Birmingham to make the most of their potential, regardless of their social or economic background. We do this through University investment in outreach and widening participation, and thanks to the generous support of our scholarships and internships by our alumni and friends. The generosity of our donors is changing the lives of hundreds of talented young people and their families. Help us do more by giving today.

Tricks for truing lumber without a jointer
- • For a cupped board
- • To flatten a twisted board
- • To rip a straight edge on boards
- • To thick for the tablesaw
- • For small, short, or highly figured boards
For a cupped board
Cut a pair of straight runners the length of the workpiece and glue them to both edges, as shown at right. After the glue dries, remove the clamps and run the assembly through the planer -- crowned face up. Continue planing until the planer flattens the entire top face of the board. Then, flip the workpiece over and run it through the planer again to flatten that face. Use your tablesaw to rip away the runners and square the edges.
If one has no jointer, cutting the wide board into thinner strips will mean each strip is flatter to the table saw than the complete board. If one reglues the strips, the same cupping tendency will remain, but if alternate strips are turned over, that tendency will be evened out. Edge "jointing" the strips with the saw should help to achieve better glue-up. Of course, a hand plane, or even a router table can help those edges.8/19/2014 01:35:18 PM Report Abuse
This method will guarantee a thin board. I think wood thickness can be better preserved with less wood loss by ripping the board into thinner strips, jointing the edges then re-assembling by edge gluing the strips back together. Most of the cup will be gone and irregularities can then be planed off manually or with a planer.8/19/2014 01:28:13 PM Report Abuse
Yeah. I saw that to (pardon that pun, hun). =-)1/16/2014 11:02:43 AM Report Abuse

NORCROSS -- Norcross police have their serial rape suspect; now they're looking for another victim.
Earlier this month, Norcross authorities arrested a 31-year-old Dunwoody man in connection with the alleged rape of a 21-year-old woman at a local hotel. The suspect and victim reportedly met at an Atlanta club before arranging to see each other at the Guest Inn on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.
The woman was reportedly offered a drink before being raped over the next several hours.
Further investigation into that case, originally reported by the Daily Post, has revealed a possible second victim, Norcross Police Sgt. Bill Grogan said Thursday.
"Our investigation since then has given us some very viable leads, credible information that most likely this is not the only victim that this man has raped in the past," Grogan said. "We've gathered information that at some time in the summer of last year ... that possibly he did this exact same thing to another female in the same hotel."
Grogan said that sometime last summer -- roughly between June and September -- a woman made an anonymous call to Gwinnett County police, describing her rape but not wanting to come forward. Norcross investigators now believe the same suspect from this month's incident raped that victim, not only in the same hotel but in the same room.
They want to help her.
"We want her to know that we want to talk to her, that she can feel comfortable talking to us," Grogan said. "We've got detectives who are trained in this and have been doing it for many, many years and respect her privacy ... We're begging that she will come forward, now that she can be assured that he is already in custody without bond, and that he will not be getting out for quite a while."
Grogan said the department wants to prosecute the suspect on every alleged incident, not leaving out the possibility that two cases may not be the end of the investigation.
"I can't say that there are other victims, but in our line of work you can never rule that out," he said. "I would not be surprised, unfortunately, if there were other victims that he had done this to the same way."
Authorities have asked that the suspect's identity not be re-published to "eliminate the loss of investigative tools" like photo lineups with any other potential victims that come forward.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Norcross police at 770-448-2111.

Reading Council approves 1,000-bike cycle hire scheme
Ambitious per-capita provision puts London's Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme in the shade
Reading Council has approved plans to introduce a bike hire scheme in the Berkshire town modelled on London's Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme and the Vélib' scheme in Paris.
While the town does currently have a cycle hire scheme, operated by OYBike, that was much more limited and seems to have quietly fallen by the wayside; just three bike stands are shown on an interactive map and none at a bike hire station that used to operate outside Reading Train Station.
The plans approved last night at a meeting of the Liberal Democrat and Conservative council are much more wide-ranging, with 1,000 bicycles available at 150 docking stations, reports the BBC.
Given that London, with a population of 7.5 million, will have a fleet of 8,000 bikes once the hire zone there has been extended eastwards, Reading's plans appear ambitious in comparison, with its population 30 times smaller than that of the capital at around 250,000.
No details are yet available of how much money is to be spent on the scheme, nor how users are to be charged.
It is envisaged that hire stations will be available at locations such as Reading station and the university, as well as business parks in the area.

Mathematics Major & Minor
As a math major or minor at Truman, you learn as you collaborate with faculty, conduct collaborative research, compete in national and state math competitions, join a professional mathematics organization and have fun doing it.
Challenging Curriculum
Mathematics is the language of the universe. At Truman, your classes are designed to teach you to apply the latest theories across multiple disciplines. From game theory to probability and the mathematics of finance, you will engage in a broad and deep course of study that leaves room for your personal initiative — which is why our students are highly sought after by employers.
The Power of Choice
Built on the strength of rigorous courses, you have the flexibility to direct your own path of study in fields like statistics, actuarial science and mathematical biology. Choose the bachelor of science degree for a stronger emphasis in computer science, biology chemistry or physics. Or pursue a bachelor of arts instead if you are interested in obtaining intermediate proficiency in a foreign language.
Thinking about teaching math and physics? At Truman, you can double major in mathematics and physics, then apply to our master's in education (MAE) program. Students who plan to teach physics and math at the high school level can apply for our Noyce Scholars Program, which provides scholarships for undergraduate junior and senior years and one year of graduate school.

Twenty years ago, many public commentators believed that religion was dead, or at least 'on the way out'. How wrong that proved. Simon Barrow looks at how the conversation about faith is deepening and broadening in the face of growing religious and non-religious diversity.
The lines in the John Lennon song are famous by now: "Imagine there's no religion... it's easy if you try..." But is it, and what would it mean?
A new report highlights the sometimes extreme limitations on freedom of thought for the non-religious in over 60 countries across the world.
Festival of Spirituality and Peace in Edinburgh (3-27 August 2012) is an Interfaith and intercultural event; there are Jewish, Islamic, Christian and Daoist events, for example, as well as artists from every contintent but Antarctica, reports Katie MacFadyen. But what is the relationship between 'interfaith' and 'no faith'? Where do Secular Humanists fall in this atmosphere of inclusivity?
A recent press comment from Mennonite World Conference acts as a helpful reminder of an important declaration inviting belief communities - faith-based and otherwise - to commit to peace in the midst of a world still riven with conflict and religiously- or ideologically-sanctioned violence.
The chair of Equality and Human Rights Commission has been asked to apologise to non-religious people for comments he made in a recent interview.
Humanists in the USA are launching a national multimedia ad campaign directly challenging fundamentalist Christianity and its misuse of the Bible.
Accord, a new coalition promoting inclusive education and seeking the reform of faith schools policy, has expressed reservations over the opening of the Krishna-Avanti School in Edgware, the first publicly-funded Hindu school in Britain.
Atheists are often criticising the ethics of religious belief, says Giles Fraser. But do they base their own moral practice too much on what they are against?
A discussion meeting of the Oxford Secular Society, open to people of all persuasions, with Simon Barrow, co-director of the think-tank Ekklesia.

The kiss-off!
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were seen filming their reality show at LAX on Sunday, where the two were seen giving each other a passionate goodbye smooch before he took off for places unknown.
And we can see the storyline for this episode now ...
The last time Dean was away from his family, he cheated on Tori, which means she can't be too comfortable letting him head out solo again.
McDermott famously had an affair with Emily Goodhand while promoting "Chopped Canada" in Toronto over the holidays last year. The scandal and their subsequent marriage counseling has been the primary focus of "True Tori."
It was just announced that Dean will return to the Food Network show to host a second season, so we have a feeling that's where he was off to on Sunday.
Do you think Tori can still trust him on his own? Guess we'll have to tune into their show to find out.
The sighting comes right after their wedding anniversary, which Dean spent some serious money on. toofab has learned he spent anywhere from $10-$25,000 on a vintage ring from Neil Lane.

Duck Fork Reservoir. This body of water is currently inaccessible and without fish, but will be stocked with small tiger trout and Colorado River cutthroat trout this summer. The tiger trout are expected to be large enough to catch in 2004.
Electric Lake. The lake is ice-free. Access is open on the north end. Anglers have reported good luck with a night crawler and red salmon egg combination. Try the combination in front of four feet of leader and a full bubble, urges Todd Munford.
Boats cannot be launched. Small craft may be hand-carried to the water.
Fly fishermen have had fair success with a brown leech or rust-colored crystal bugger with sinking line.
This year, the limit on fish at Electric Lake is four trout which may be taken on any type of bait, lure or fly. Tributaries are closed until July 12. When tributaries fo open, the limit will be two trout, but artificial flies and lures must be used.
Ferron Reservoir. The reservoir remains inaccessible. The trout limit is four. However, anglers may take a bonus limit of four brook trout in addition to the normal trout limit. All tributaries are closed until July 12.
Gigliotti Pond. Once again, the pond is losing water. The DWR is investigating some pond liner options.
The Castle Country Bass Masters will be catching bluegill and bass at Red Fleet Reservoir this weekend to plant in the pond.
In 2003, the trout limit is four fish. All largemouth bass and bluegill must be immediately released.
Gooseberry Reservoir. Access remains blocked, but may be available by the weekend. Try night crawlers for the cutthroat and chartreuse PowerBait or Zeke's green garlic bait for rainbow trout.
All tributaries are closed until July 12.
Huntington Creek. Fly fishing beneath Electric Lake Dam has been good with number 18 griffiths gnat or number 16 through 18 parachute adams patterns.
Nymph fishing has been fair with olive or tan hare's ears in number 14 through 16 or red number 18 disco midge.
Bait casters have done well by drifting a night crawler with one split shot.
On the right fork (from Flood and Engineer's Canyon upstream to Electric Lake) only artificial flies may be used. The trout limit is two.
On the left fork, only artificial flies and lures may be used. The harvest of brown trout is encouraged.
A portion of Crandall Creek above the Genwal Mine is closed to fishing for 2003 to protect Colorado River cutthroat trout.
Huntington Game Farm Pond. Fishing success for trout has dropped off with the hot weather. No more trout will be stocked this year.
Huntington North Reservoir. Fishing continues to be slow for trout, but is picking up for bass. Low angling pressure.
In 2003, the bass limit is two; all largemouth bass over 12 inches must be immediately released.
Huntington Reservoir (near the top of Huntington Canyon). The reservoir's shoreline is open. Conservation officer Alan Green describes fishing success as "dynamite" with worms or night crawlers.
Fairview angler, Munford describes fishing as great for 12 to 17 inch tiger trout. Munford also suggests fishing a straight night crawler behind a full bubble and three to four feet of leader along the bottom. Allow the worm to go to the bottom and retrieve very slowly.
Tributaries are closed until July 12. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout or trout with cutthroat markings.
Joes Valley Reservoir. Fishing success has been very good for splake, using chunks of chub meat. Chubs can be easily caught with a piece of worm or PowerBait. Allow the chub chunk to settle on the bottom. We received a report last week of an angler who caught a 12 pound splake with a half ounce tube jig.
Aquatics biologist Justin Hart says the chance to catch a big fish is very good. Using chub meat, Hart and fellow biologist Craig Walker hooked a few in the four to 10 pound range over the Memorial Day weekend. Hart warns that this condition won't last much longer, because the splake will go deep as the water warms up.
Walker adds that anglers will need a large (4-0) treble or single hook.
If anglers wish to reduce hooking mortality on released fish, Walker recommends using a treble hook.
In 2003, the trout limit is two. No more than one trout may be over 22 inches. All trout 15 to 22 inches must be immediately released.
Ken's Lake. DWR Sgt. Edward Meyers reports that the lake is nearly full. No report on angling success however.
In 2003, fishing is prohibited from a boat with a gas engine.
Lake Powell. The Lake Powell fishing report home page is located at http://www.wayneswords.com. DWR biologist and project leader, Wayne Gustaveson, updates fishing conditions at this website weekly. He provides detailed information on locations, tackle, and techniques for each species in the lake.
LaSal Mountains. Meyers reports that access to Blue and Medicine lakes is still blocked. He also adds that Medicine will be accessible very soon.
As of last weekend, the U.S. Forest Service gate to Warner was still closed, but should be open soon.
The gate to Oowah was opened on last week.
Meyers says fishing has been excellent for hold-over rainbow and brook trout. He also recommends spinners or salmon eggs.
Fishing at Hidden Lake has been excellent for hold-over and stocked rainbow trout. Salmon eggs, worms and spinners have worked best.
Fishing at Dons Lake has been fair for splake and tiger trout with spinners and flies.
Miller Flat Reservoir. Access to this reservoir may be available by this weekend. Stocking will occur in the next week or two.
Millsite Reservoir. Velveeta cheese remains the bait of choice at this eastern Utah waterway.
Petes Hole. Worms and spinners produced fish this past weekend.
Potter's Ponds. The U.S. Forest Service gate may be open by the weekend. Stocking may occur the following week.
Price River/Lower Fish Creek. Flows from the reservoir have increased. Try a size 14 beadhead prince nymph for 13 to 14 inch brown trout.
From the railroad bridge approximately one mile below the Scofield Reservoir dam downstream to the confluence with the White River only artificial flies and lures may be used.
The gate to the DWR property is unlocked. The road is open and dry.
Scofield Reservoir. Angler Len Gasser enjoyed great fishing this past weekend. He said the trout were about 16 to 18 feet down, and that they were taking anything green or perch-colored.
Conservation officer Stacey Taggart reported a large midge hatch over the weekend. This will slow fishing success as the trout fill up on the abundant insect supply.
Angler Munford reported good fishing on the east side with rainbow or lemon twist PowerBait. The angler also talked to anglers who did well on the west side using night crawlers with one floating Power Egg. Trollers have had good success with orange/pearl triple teasers, Rebel floater/diver crayfish, silver and red needle fish, or pop gear and night crawler.
Soup Bowl. Try worms or spinners for best results.
Willlow Lake. Conservation officer Kip Draper reports that fishing was good over the weekend with spinners and worms.

Isn't it nice when you realize smart people have been innovating and improving products that you didn't even know you needed yet? More light switches have been invented and perfected than you may realize, but that doesn't mean you don't want them. Light switch designers have gotten very good at helping you achieve the lighting and efficiency you want. From standard dimmers, to timers with built-in atomic clocks, to in-wall dimmer/timers, you can now light your home efficiently, beautifully, and, best of all, conveniently.
Toggle or Paddle Switches
Occupancy / Vacancy Sensors
Wall Timers
Plug-in Switches
Door Jamb Light Switches
As you can see, there are a lot of options when it comes to light switches. Toggle switches, motion sensors, dimmers, wall timers, plug-in switches, and door jamb switches allow you to maximize your home's energy efficiency and exercise control over the way your home or business is lighted from the inside out. Lighting is one of the most important aspects of home customization, and it is one of the easiest things to change about your space. All these different types of light switches allow you to make drastic improvements to the way your home or business looks and feels. And now you are aware of just how many options and how much control you have over your lighting.

Earnhardt's Dirty Mo Radio is back with big lineup
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) – Dale Earnhardt Jr. is expanding his Dirty Mo Radio show.
Earnhardt will launch three new shows on Dirty Mo Radio, the online digital experience found at DaleJr.com and common podcasting outlets such as iTunes.
The Monday Recap, Fast Lane Family, and JRM 360 The Podcast are set to debut. Those programs will accompany the maiden show, The Dale Jr. Download, as the full lineup in 2014. The official launch for all programming is the week of Feb. 24 after the Daytona 500, though some will begin next week.
"If last year's goal for Dirty Mo Radio was to launch, this year's goal is to offer variety," Earnhardt Jr. said. "We're always looking to grow, and we're pretty passionate about it."
Earnhardt's sister, Kelley Earnhardt Miller, will host Fast Lane Family. The show will focus on the unique life of being a mom, wife, sister and daughter while overseeing one of the biggest brands in motorsports. She will share tales from home as well as anecdotes from day-to-day life with her 11-time most popular driver brother.
All Dirty Mo Radio programming will be recorded in a new studio located inside the JR Nation Retail store at JR Motorsports.

Chicago - United States
Chicago is a marvelous mix of awe-inspiring architecture and stunning lake views, blues houses and jazz clubs, celebrity (Michael Jordan) and infamy (Al Capone). It is home to the Willis Tower, architectural gems by the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright, and "da Bears." With this kind of diversity, it's not surprising that the city's culinary offerings are world class.
There is something to suit everyone's appetite, from the classic Chicago-style pizza at Pizzeria Uno to mouthwatering hot dogs to pound-heavy T-bones. Fine dining establishments are top-of-the-line and plentiful. Many excellent ethnic eateries also flourish here, whether you're in the mood for generous Italian, hands-only Ethiopian, Indian curries or spicy Thai.
Get to know the many charming (and tasty) areas of Chicago:
The Loop
This is the heart of downtown, with its elevated commuter tracks, State Street shopping and architectural landmarks. For a taste of classic German food in a classic Chicago setting, you can't go wrong with the Berghoff. The exquisite Everest is a perfect place for big (and big bucks) occasions. And Cajun/Creole-lovers can try The Original Heaven on Seven for the Chicago version of heaven.
While many night-crawlers will want to venture outside the Loop to truly paint the town red, some bars provides a good setting for an after-dinner drink. A favorite is the legendary Miller's Pub.
Magnificent Mile
After shopping for hours in Michigan Avenue's chic shops, you're sure to feel those taste buds kick in. If you're dressed in the designer duds you just bought, dine at the luxurious Spiaggia (its sister Café is just as popular and a bit less expensive.) The seafood and chowder at the Cape Cod Room in the Drake Hotel really hits the spot after a day of window shopping, especially on a blustery Chicago winter day. The Signature Room on the 95th Floor in the John Hancock Tower offers a meal with a breathtaking view.
Stepping just off the strip will lead you to a range of memorable dining options. Allen's Cafe features seasonal menus in an elegant setting. A popular specialty restaurant just off the Magnificent Mile is Big Bowl, known for its Pan-Asian food.
But what the Magnificent Mile has in high-class shopping and fashionable restaurants, it lacks in nightlife. For a true bar-hopping experience, head to the nearby Rush Street bars in the Gold Coast. One Mag Mile bar to try is the Chicago classic, the Billy Goat Tavern. This subterranean institution features a full bar that will lift your spirits even if you are not in the mood for its signature "cheezeborgers."
River North/Gold Coast
The areas surrounding the Magnificent Mile are home to many innovative restaurants. The River North area, a few blocks west of Michigan Avenue, features several trendy and popular restaurants. An eclectic menu tempts diners at mk, Frontera Grill puts a new twist on Mexican fare, and Coco Pazzo offers Tuscan delights. The area is also home to many of the city's theme restaurants like The Original Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's and Harry Caray's.
The more affluent residents of the Gold Coast, a posh area north of Michigan Avenue, would probably frown at the theme restaurants. They prefer high class, as evidenced by their eateries. Steak lovers should visit Chicago Chop House or the celebrity-favorite, Gibson's. The Pump Room at the Omni Ambassador East Hotel offers a taste of glamor and Chicago tradition. Le Colonial on Rush Street features Vietnamese food with a French influence.
You will also find a popular area for nightlife in the Gold Coast. Young guns on the prowl can go to meat/meet market bars like Butch McGuire's or Mother's
Lincoln Park, Lakeview/Wrigleyville
This is a fun, vibrant community, famous for its boutiques, restaurants and bars. With so many great options, it is impossible to list them all. For starters, you might try sushi at Sai Café or a taste of Spain at Emilio's Tapas. Theater-goers frequently start their evenings with the Italian fare at Vinci.
North of Diversey Avenue, you will find yourself in the Lakeview neighborhood with its plentiful restaurants. Near Wrigley Field, the original Mia Francesca draws crowds with their classic Italian fare.
If you are in the mood to see live music after dinner, see who's playing at the Elbo Room, which features a mix of jazz, rock and spoken word concerts. Another area institution is Metro Smart Bar, where several local bands like the Smashing Pumpkins started their careers before making it big.
Bars line the streets in these areas. Popular destinations include the Cubby Bear and Murphy's Bleachers in Wrigleyville. In Lincoln Park, Kincade's, Durkin's and Glascott's are among the many favorites. Many in the gay and lesbian community head to places like Roscoe's Tavern for their nights on the town.
Hyde Park
This community is known for its diversity, the University of Chicago campus and the renowned Museum of Science and Industry. The culinary offerings are limited, but it offers some gems. Mellow Yellow is a charming local spot with award-winning chili and rotisserie-chicken. The Sit Down Cafe and Sushi Bar is one-of-a-kind, offering creative sushi rolls alongside mouth-watering pizzas and sandwiches. And Salonica boasts the area's best brunch in a comfortable diner atmosphere with hints of Mediterranean flavor.
It may not be one of the largest Chinatowns you'll visit, but its restaurants hold their own with many authentic offerings. One perennial favorite is Evergreen. For weekend dim sum, Phoenix is your best bet. If you want more than just Chinese, Penang's extensive menu boasts an array of Southeast Asian treats.
Wicker Park/Bucktown
Café Absinthe serves up creative French bistro fare, as do the intimate Le Bouchon. Located just outside the Wicker Park area, Mirai, serves sushi in a trendy metal-and-glass club setting. The funky Violet Hour serves up high-end versions of American classics. For a supper club feel and killer martinis, try Club Lucky.
It will not take you long to realize that Wicker Park is no slouch in the nightlife department. Holiday Club and The Note are just a few of the neighborhood favorites.

Usage areas for stacks and queues

Hi, I am currently trying to teach myself how to use stacks, queues, linked lists and binary trees (how to implement them myself from scratch first, that is, before I use what has already been provided for me in java.util.*).
I'm currently at the point where I can write stacks and queues and linked lists (and combinations of these), but I'm sort of going "so what?". I know that both stacks and queues are important, but I don't REALLY get it. Queues are used in transaction processing, that I can kind of see intuitively, but am less certain about stacks. I read something about their use in the handling/storage of data in registers during the running of recursive method calls, or during interrupt handling, but the whole thing sort of whooshed past over my head at a bit of a distance... What are the main usage areas of stacks in particular? Can someone dumb it down to my level? Now there's a challenge you probably hear every day...

A typical use of a stack would be an undo queue (yes, I know it sounds weird, the name "undo queue" while commonly used isn't really correct technically). Typically you'd want to undo the last action placed on the queue first.
Another stack is the callstack of an application. The last function placed on it will be executed first.
Or what about a car ferry that has only a single on/off ramp. If it's not properly loaded everyone has to drive off in reverse, the last car on will be the first car off (normally of course everyone is made to drive so they'll face forward on unloading, but some dockworkers aren't that smart).
A stack implements a LIFO mechanism, a queue a FIFO mechanism.

I haven't had to use stacks very often, but sometimes you have to do recursive things that need them. I have a little file processor that lets FileA say "Include FileB" and I insert FileB at that point. FileB might say "include FileC". I always need to know what file I'm processing right now, so I have a current file variable. When I start a new nested file, I push the current file onto a stack and set the variable to the new file. When I finish one file, I pop the previous file off the stack and make it current again.
If I had made my method call itself in conventional recursion, the compiler would take care of all that - push the current state of all local variables onto the stack and give me a fresh set, then pop them all off again when I return.
Does that help or confuse more?
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

It's a shock to the system that it's all over. There must be another match between Zimbabwe and Canada going on somewhere in the sub-continent.
The 2011 World Cup has been like a soap opera in India, something happening every day, some of which was of little or no import, but occasionally there was earth-shattering news like Virender Sehwag suffering a twinge to his knee or the arrival at nets of Sachin Tendulkar with a stash of fresh bats.
Every day there has been some cricket to watch on the TV. Every channel has devoted hours to this World Cup. It has been a pundit's paradise.
Most of them made John McCririck seem as staid and downbeat as dear old Jim Laker on a dull day at Headingley. There was not much space for balanced, measured argument. But somewhere there was a space for Salman Butt. Your correspondent, you will be unsurprised to hear, was restricted to the radio.
The soap opera almost had the perfect climax. There was Sachin and Murali seeking the ultimate swansong that would have tears streaming down the cheeks in Colombo and Mumbai. But the cricketing gods are not quite so hell-bent on the saccharine conclusion.
But how they like their soap operas over here. As a result the TV ratings have been astronomical; advertising rates have soared and when that happens those who run world cricket, for whom profit is nirvana, wear their broadest smiles.
If it was a brilliantly successful TV event in India, it was not quite so enjoyable for spectators, who required the stamina of a long distance runner and the constitution of a camel. Watching cricket here for those more familiar with Canterbury or Worcester was very exhausting and rather intrusive.
There were the constant body searches. Nobody was permitted to take a plastic bottle of water into the ground, no food either. Sometimes even the mobile phone was banned. One entrepreneur set up a parking stall for mobile phones just outside the ground in Ahmedabad. And it was very hot.
Yet the World Cup exceeded nearly everyone's expectations. Now that may not being saying too much. Beforehand we (why am I being so regal?) moaned about the format. And we were right too. Even for the soap opera lovers it surely went on too long.
Why so many minnows? Why not two matches per day in the qualification process? Because that maximised the income, of course.
England kept the tournament alive for a month with a wee bit of help from the Irish and the Indians. Group B, even though it produced the expected quarter-finalists, was always diverting and occasionally dangerous.
The West Indies bus was stoned in Dhaka, but the culprits did have the grace to apologise; they thought it was Bangladesh's bus. So that was alright.
Group A was utterly predictable. Overall, we had to make do with little gems: the run-out of Ricky Ponting against Zimbabwe, which spelt the end of a television screen; a staggering century from Ross Taylor against Pakistan; Murali hobbling up, tormenting tail-enders.
The knock-out stages saw me following India all the way to Mumbai, despite a gutsy century from Ponting. In Ahmedabad the tranquillity of Mahatma Gandhi's Ashram was not transferred to a cacophonous stadium. This was India's World Cup final, we were told, against Australia, the champions in the previous three tournaments.
Thence to fortress Chandigarh, where the distractions did not quite take over. There were troops galore, prime ministers winging in, a no fly zone imposed and a chronic shortage of hotel rooms. Yet the cricket eventually took precedence. This was India's World Cup final, we were told, against Pakistan, their age-old rivals.
And then to Mumbai for the Bollywood climax. This was India's World Cup final, we were told, against Sri Lanka. And this time they were right. India beat the best teams in the competition when it mattered. They deserved the trophy.

Investing in California's Fabric
December 13, 2013
By Stephanie Thara
CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White joined University of California President Janet Napolitano and California Community Colleges Chancellor Brice W. Harris to discuss the rebuilding and reinvestment in public higher education during the 20th Annual Higher Education Government Relations Conference in San Francisco on Dec. 13.
Hosted by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the conference allowed college and university leaders from across the nation to work collaboratively on ways to meet state educational, workforce and economic objectives and advance higher education as a state investment priority.
The panel, which was moderated by San Francisco State President Leslie E. Wong, marked the first joint appearance of all three California segment leaders. The session highlighted topics such as broadening access to higher education through inclusivity, strengthening California's Master Plan and integrating technology into curriculum.
"Technology is one more arrow in our quiver to bring learning alive for our students," said White. "Interactive experiences are key and online can do the 'ABCs' but not the rest. Our faculty use a multifaceted approach to ensure our students can compete and have the skills to navigate culturally and otherwise in a global economy."
Following the panel discussion, White, Napolitano and Harris met with media to speak about state and federal issues impacting higher education and ways to maximize the effectiveness of government relations.
"We need to reinvigorate how we offer instruction and we need to renew public interest in publicly funded higher education," said White. "Higher education is the antidote to poverty, crime and violence. An investment in higher education is an investment in the fabric of California."

Somali pirates cause untold costs to international shipping. And they divert strategic resources from other regions to police them. Or, I suppose they assure us in the Navy assets (to fight the scourge), so should we thank them?
If you remember, Jean and Scott Adam, as well as Bob Riggle and Phyllis Macay, were fatally shot by hijackers in February 2011 after their yacht Quest was hijacked. And one of the hijackers was just sentenced:
A Somali man has received a life sentence for his role in the hijacking of an American yacht.
A federal judge in Norfolk, Va., sentenced Said Abdi Fooley on Friday. He had pleaded guilty to piracy, which carries a mandatory life term.
U.S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith recommended the Bureau of Prisons consider Fooley's language barrier when placing him so that he can further his education.
Can further his education? Are you kidding me? Line him up against the wall. Four people died due to him and his friends. Yes, he may not have pulled the trigger. But he contributed to the hijacking.
In an seemingly unrelated story, people wonder why us military guys get grumpy:
A new study appears to support what recruiters have known for years: Military service transforms people.
But for friends, family and future co-workers of recruits, the transformation may not be for the better.
The study from Washington University in St. Louis found that military service — combat excluded — seems to make men less "agreeable." And the effects appear to linger long after troops hang up their uniforms.
The new study, "Military Training and Personality Trait Development: Does the Military Make the Man or Does the Man Make the Military?" was published in the journal Psychological Science.
You know why we're grumpy? Y'all keep hookin' up pirates. Line 'em against a wall. Make an example. One bullet versus a lifetime of costs. Food, housing, clothes, and education. Or one $0.25 bullet. Your choice.

Sushi Lovers: Tuna Facts You Need to Know Before Ordering.
Source: Uploaded by user via Sunita on Pinterest
Dear Reader,
I appreciate your mindful reading. Click here if you'd like to read Part One of this series.
If my words come off as overwrought or dramatic, or even preachy, forgive me. Just don't take it out on the tuna by skimming through this series of essays.
Part Two:
According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources), tunas are in trouble across the board.
Southern Bluefin is critically endangered and Atlantic bluefin is endangered. Bigeye, yellowfin and albacore will likely follow suit.
And there's more bad news. On April 1st, Rupert Murdoch's National Geographic Channel premiered a series called Wicked Tuna. The show follows bluefin tuna fishermen in Gloucester, Massachusetts in pursuit of a big catch—and a huge payout. I've seen several YouTube clips of the show, and I can't take it for long. Something seems terribly dysfunctional about killing tuna and then talking about protecting them.
And this from the Wicked Tuna FAQ website via National Geographic:
Q: There is a lot of discussion of the tuna going to Japan in the show. Does all of the bluefin caught off Gloucester go to Japan? And why is demand so high in Japan?
A: The US accounts for maybe five percent of the global bluefin tuna catch and over half of the US catch is exported, mainly to Japan. About 3/4 of the global bluefin catch goes to Japan where its fatty flesh is consumed as the highest grades of sushi and sashimi—maguro and toro.
To be fair, it is no wonder bluefin tuna are a fisherman's dream catch. I can see the lure. They're badasses. I would feel like a badass too if I caught one (but also a complete jerk and a murderer).
Source: Uploaded by user via Sunita on Pinterest
I realize they're tasty fish, and amazing game fish and all that, but Americans must stop eating them. We need to make a collective fuss about restaurants that continue to serve bluefin tuna. Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, Mr. De Niro, co-owner of Nobu. It's a national disgrace to be complicit in the extermination of a species. I mean, I know you're busy and stuff—and I don't want you to go all Untouchables and shit—but come on, sir, be a public leader in this fight.
I, and millions of others, want to see bluefin eighty-sixed from restaurant menus. I think we can all agree that bluefin tuna are one of the planet's most awesome creatures and that their value is not merely of the flesh.
At the very least, Americans should give the bluefin a fighting chance before it leaves the world for good.
Some companies are betting on just that—the bluefin's extinction.
Mitsubishi Corporation, for one, has amassed several underwater ranches in the Mediterranean (one of the two Atlantic bluefin spawning grounds, the other being the Gulf of Mexico). The Mediterranean ranches exist to fatten wild caught bluefin before chainsawing their heads off, freezing them, and transporting them to delivery points in Japan.

When the death knell strikes for the bluefin, like the thwack that was the last truffula tree, Mitsubishi and others will very likely have freezers full of million dollar carcasses.
Bluefin is serious fucking business.
Sure, there are international limits on catch, but it's like the Wild West out there, with widespread overfishing and flouting of regulations. Moreover, there's a thriving black market in bluefin trade and no incentive to go easy on this fish. The demand is simply too high.
Japan accounts for nearly 80 percent of bluefin demand. The U.S. is second. The website of a Japanese restaurant supply company in California says that there were only 80 Japanese restaurants in the Bay Area in the 1970s. As of May 2010, that number grew to 800. Similarly, there have been explosions of sushi restaurants in cities across America. Just the other day, here in Chicago, I saw two new sushi restaurants within a block of each other. We've all seen it happening.
So out of curiosity, I phoned the five top rated sushi restaurants in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Of all twenty, sixteen of them serve bluefin. I even called a sushi restaurant in San Antonio, Texas. Wouldn't you know, bluefin.
Even if a bluefin is caught in Gloucester, it will very likely go through Japan first before it gets to your plate. For a bluefin tuna carcass, pretty much all roads lead to Tsukiji Fish Market.
Americans don't have to live in Japan to send a strong message to the bluefin industry.
It's simple. Stop going to restaurants that serve it. Politely inform a manager why you won't be spending your money there. Leave a note. Start a conversation. Make your voice heard.
Source: Uploaded by user via Sunita on Pinterest
Even though bluefin numbers have plummeted in recent decades, these fish still can't catch a break. The message is not getting through. What if the American sushi patron can tip the scales in favor of the bluefin tuna's survival? Crazier things have happened. Just as you wouldn't consider purchasing the taxidermied hand of a mountain gorilla or tasting tiger penis soup, you might think twice before ordering that tuna sashimi or spicy tuna roll.

Thank you, great piece.
What is labeled "tuna" in Japan may actually be dolphin.
I think it's time to stop eating fresh tuna. Thank you.
Awesome, effort=movement, movement=progress towards the goal. Worthy goal indeed.
[…] thynnus—or the bluefin tuna—as it is commonly known, constitutes the most valuable fishery worldwide. According to a report […]
It's surprising to know that our bluefin sharks catch are mostly exported to Japan. No wonder there are lots of excellent sushi makers in that country. In fairness, I keep coming back to Japan for their sushi.

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental
and everything. Nevertheless think of if you added some great visuals or

Confused: Occupy Oakland Attacks Wells Fargo Then Deposits $20,000
Posted By kurtnimmo On November 10, 2011 @ 12:09 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled

After the decision was made angry protesters took to Twitter to show their disgust for the deposit:
"I can see the ad now: 'People's money is so safe here at Wells Fargo, even our sworn enemies use us for their banking needs!'" wrote @davidcolburn.
another protester (@GiveMeThatJuice) added:
"I am so disgusted right now. the hypocrisy of it all is just amazing."
The moment the deposit happened Wells Fargo spokesman Ruben Pulido released the following statement to the press:
"If this report is true," he wrote, "it demonstrates that even Occupy Oakland understands — firsthand — the value and service that Wells Fargo provides its customers. Wells Fargo welcomes the 100 percent of Americans to allow us to help them meet their financial needs."
The groups lawyer Tim Fong quickly pointed out that the money was only placed into a temporary account while he finalizes paperwork that is needed to open a credit union account for an unincorporated association.
Once the money is transferred to the credit union part of it will be used to bail out jailed protesters.
In one sign that at least some organization exists between the occupy movements Occupy Wall Street donated the money so that it may be used for medical and legal needs.

IR Analyzers for On-site Oil in Water/Soil Testing
Product Announcement from Wilks – A Spectro Scientific Company
Wilks - A Spectro Scientific Company - InfraCal Analyzers let you quickly and easily analyze the oil and grease concentration level in water and soil.They are ideal for measuring oil content in produced or FRAC water, fats, oil & grease (FOG) in wastewater, industrial or refinery wastewater effluents, drill cuttings, containment ponds andremediation sites. Accurate, on-site measurements take just 10 -15 minutes, including the extraction process. On-site measurements eliminate the need to wait for off-site lab results and the analyzers are ideal for use by non-technical personnel.
InfraCal analyzers use infrared technology based on DTI, EPA and ASTM methods. Four InfraCal analyzer models are available for measuring oil content in water, drill cuttings and soil. All are ideal for use by non-technical personnel and provide virtually maintenance-free operation.
Both the InfraCal Model HATR-T2 and new InfraCal 2 ATR-SP, use hexane, pentane or Vertrel MCA for the extraction process. Measurement data from either model will correlate to EPA Method 1664 as both procedures are based on evaporation techniques and measuring the residual oil and grease. They are equipped with a built-in cubic zirconia horizontal attenuated total reflection (HATR) stainless-steel sample stage on which the extract is deposited for analysis. The sample preparation takes a few simple steps and the ppm hydrocarbon result is obtained in less than 15 minutes. The InfraCal Model HATR-T2 has a minimum detectable limit of 8 ppm oil in water and the InfraCal 2 ATR-SP will measure down to 0.3 ppm.
Both the InfraCal Model CVH and new InfraCal 2 Model TRANS-SP are based on US EPA Methods 413.2 and 418.1 and ASTM D7066-04, which uses Freon 113, perchloroethylene, or S-316, as the extracting solvent. Since the oil concentration is measured directly in the solvent, light end volatile components are retained, making it ideal for gas condensate measurements. The sample preparation takes a few simple steps and the result is obtained in less than 10 minutes. The InfraCal Model CVH has a minimum detectable limit of 2 ppm oil in water. It was one of the instruments used to develop the ASTM D7066 oil in water method. The InfraCal 2 TRANS-SP will measure down to 0.1 ppm.
In addition to lower detection limits, the InfraCal 2 analyzers has added features which include multiple calibrations to cover a larger range of analysis, data storage that tags measurements with analyst, date and time, and security features with different user access levels.
For more information on the InfraCal Analyzers, contact Wilks - A Spectro Scientific Company, 25 Van Zant Street - Ste. 8F, E.

i have take a new passion plus in june when i want to drive in 60 kmph it sound's like 2nd gear in 4th gear
i have passion plus on emi
iwant bike in EMI. what in the conditions plz tel me.
i have riding passion plus from last 5 years{2005} it is very good and comfortable bike for all, unmatched quality, unbeatable price,nice to see and nice to ride,no one can make this as it is this bike GRATE HERO HONDA
I have New Passion Plus , Its Fantastic Bike n I Love My Passion
i have my passion from 2002. its good to see and even to ride for city its good and easy to handle in traffic and good mileage
One day I took a visit to a Hero Honda showroom with my friend as he wanted to purchase Pleasure. I glanced at the collection of different bikes and suddenly I looked at the new model of Passion Plus. I immediately liked it and decided to buy it.And then began the successful story of Passion Plus. Everything was in my favor-from mileage to performance to looks. It has covered 12 000 km in its two years journey without major repairs. My advice is that if anyone looks for a tough bike they should buy Passion Plus.
Why should I share my feelings about Passion Plua ? There are reasons for this sharing.The bike has neveer given me any trouble while being road.Even today it starts with a single kick. In addition, I can drive it at the maximum speed of 85 km/h.I have some friends who repent with other bikes while I am the only person in our group who fully enjoys the everlasting benefits of Passion Plus.
It was a holiday when i visited Hero Honda showroom. I did't intend to buy any bike. Actually i went with my friend. There were many bikes but I was amazed to see Passion Plus in as many as 11 different colors. I also test drove the bike for fun. But then my mind said me to have this bike as early as possible.And the result was that i made the down payment for this bike by cheque and took it home after clearance of cheque I am very happy today that I have such a wonderful bike which gives 70 km in just 1 litre petrol.It is the most fuel efficient bike i have ever had.
I have been using Hero Honda Splendor from last 10 years and still its going good. Last week I have purchased the new Hero Honda Passion Plus with latest features and style. The engine of passion plus has one cylinder and a 4 stroke air cooled engine. Its displacement is exactly 97.2 cc and maximum power is 7.5 ps at 8000 rpm. The gear box has four gears. The gear shifting and Multi plate clutch is very smooth, however the hardness of clutch can be adjusted. As per my experience the top speed of this bike seems to be 85kmps. It is missing the self start button. It has the electronic CDI Ignition as available in all bikes. Brakes are normal drum brakes. It is very comfortable and pleasant while riding. The wide rear cushion seat is adjustable. The rear tyre is also broad which gives strong road grip and no skidding. The handle bar is also big with good grips. Good ground clearance means a height person can feel comfortable while on the bike. Suspensions are better than the splendor. The front suspension is telescopic hydraulic fork suspension. The front suspension is some what long when compared to other bikes in its segment. The rear suspension is a swing arm suspension which is of 5 step adjustable damper. The wheel base of this bike is also good. Fuel tank capacity of this bike is 12.8 litres including 1 liter reserve. It easily throws a mileage of about 60 on normal city riding conditions. On the highway this gives a mileage of 65-70 kilometers per liter. The two tone body colors are great. The newly introduced body colored mirrors is very good. The aluminum die cast grip is good to look. Heat protector on the silencer adds more beauty to the bike. There are new dials on the meters which are good to look. At the end, the domb and rear tail light are cool!!
The first time I rode my friend's passion plus in Chennai, all I could say was WOW!! I have Bajaj CT 100 and before that I have been riding CD 100 for years and after that Splendor. I have never felt so smooth, comfortable and convenient like this one. This bike has decent pickup, mileage, easy handling and high comfort. No doubt looks are unmatched to any bike in the market. It has already broken the limits of the 1oo cc segment with its features. What else you expect from a bike, my friend has never changed a tire, never went for any repair, have done all the free and paid services on time, that's all. It's one high performance, risk free, maintenance free bike. Now I am planning to exchange my CT to for this bike. The bike starts in a single kick and gives a mileage of 75 km/pl. Drum brakes are very effective. It has the best headlight in the Hero Honda collection. Its short handle bar gives better riding control. It's the best city bike and for highways. My friend has serviced only once in last three months but the condition is like the new bike in the showroom, its low maintenance is also is one the most attractive point. It is available in cool funky colors. It's the best of all unless you want some power bike.
